The Family Table: Poetry Prompt
Pick your chair, have a seat and write some poetry with us about life around the family table. There are plenty of stories to share.
Motherhood: Family Ties Poetry Prompt
There are no deeper family ties than that between a mother and child.

Let these poems inspire you to write your own poetry about the family ties of motherhood.
Fatherhood: Family Ties Poetry Prompt
Our fathers are an important part of who we have become. This is not lost on poets, as many have written poems on fatherhood. Come along with us and read some poetry about fathers, then write your own heartfelt or hilarious poem.
Birth Order: Family Ties Poetry Prompt
Siblings have their own system of organization and some argue that it shapes many of their characteristics. Consider this an opportunity to have fun and write some silly sibling poetry. We won't tattle on you.
Mending Wall: Poetry Prompt
Looking at Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall," we're creating our own poetic take on the act of mending walls. Come write with us!

This week's poetry prompt asks you to imagine yourself as a division of space— a wall. Join us, animate yourself into the geometry of a wall, and create poetry.
The Veil: Poetry Prompt
Join us as we explore the poem "Lift Not the Painted Veil Which Those Who Live" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Think of a response to his message and write it as a poem.

If you're running low on limerick ideas, then look no further than the always enchanting animal kingdom. Come write with about your pets (or the circus) with us!
Family Limericks: Poetry Prompt

Poetry Prompt: The Laughable Limerick
When you're in need of a good, hearty laugh, look no further than the limerick. With its catchy meter and rhyme, the limerick is fun to read and easy to memorize. Join us and write some laughable limericks!
Things Invisible Poetry Prompt: Our Ghosts
Our ghosts have taken a journey. Let's not miss the opportunity to lean in and listen to (and tell) their stories. In the process, we may learn something about ourselves.

I'am having stubble with fimfiction, I have already turned my computer on and off and i still can't get on it. it says "Can't reach this page"
site has come and gone all day for me
Stop with the turn on an off shit NOW
To the guy who's in charge of fimfiction stop messing with fimfic and get it back to normal at once you here me
For f#!ks sack make up ur mind is it down or open
Damn it, it's been nearly 45 miutes since the site went down and they still haven't finished fixing it yet, and I was in the middle of 5 fanfics when it went down too.
God damnit how long?
This FIMFiction issue sucks. >:(
Da FUDGE?! I was in the middle of reading and then... POW! No more FIMFiction.
The current outage is a server issue due to the ISP FiMfic is hosted on. Should be resolved soon. https://twitter.com/Fimfiction/status/693866147838574592
darth vader style no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Still down? You've got to be kidding me. I was in the middle of something important! Knighty, you didn't have to "fix" anything. The site was fine as it was. Just let it be.
Awkward moment when you were cruising the site for an hour, only for it to stop working... but it had "stopped working" two hours ago...
To everyone freaking out on IIDRN: If you'd checked the FiMF twitter, you'd know that knighty is doing database maintenance. CALM DOWN.
I cant get on the server or see my replies without getting error messages!
Its been down for nearly an hour, but I was able to be on it just fine for most of the hour... then it just decided to quit on me... whats wrong with it? The new tier system?
Uh guys, fanfiction.net still works. I know it's not the same, but someone of you can get your fanfic fix from their MLP section.
Eight hours ago the fandom collapsed. I haven't left the comfort and safety -not to mention cookies- of my refrigerator/home since. I know not what it is like out there, but I can only guess that it is a wasteland. Bronies overthrowing the government, raiding the interweb, stealing cookies, threatening knighty... It's a hellhole out there. I'm safer here... in my refrigerator with my cookies.
Oh, cookies... Only you truly understand me...
Dante, what's the story that you'll be updating? Could I get a link when the site's back up? I'm out of reading material at the moment... XD
Oh my god... The site is back, but they had to reset everything! All the faves' and rates are gone!
- Bazinga! HU3
1 season of MLP takes 9 hours to watch... Site down for 7 hours... Dammit knighty couldn't you pick a better time to watch MLP!
Well... I guess I can just keep writing until the site comes back up...while listening to Iron Maiden.
Truth be told I saw this kind of thing happen back in the day with Planet Namek. That site had a lot of foot traffic, and it was one of the biggest pure DBZ fanfic sites on the web. It sucks... but hopefully it will come back on in a little while. That said, I'll keep working on a few things, checking back here, checking on the facebook, and be ready when it is.
People who blame Knighty, really don't know what it's like running a webpage... calm down! Shouting about it won't do anything other then make you, yourself look bad in front of the whole internet.
Seven hours... SEVEN HOURS!!! I-I'm going crazy... CRAZY! crazy... I-I just need- NEED- Please... B-before th-things get really bad. BAD!
Yeah. This sucks. I just finished my new chapter when it went down... And on top of that, it's one of my best, and I have almost nothing else to do tonight, it's freaking boring...
Oh brother looks like Pinkamena somehow hacked the site after I spent 8 hours fighting her and finally defeating her
Sounds like chrysalis finally had enough of people writing clopfics about her and had a changeling hack the site.
Six hours and it's still down? Thank god the Yogscast are entertaining or I'd be so bored right now.
dude please hurry! pinkamena is right next to me threatening to really hurt me if the site doesn't go up soon! please help me!
Alright, I wanna know what's going on with this whole "FimFiction being down for a quarter of the day" thing happening!
well this sucks major crap. I guess ill go back to playing world of tanks until the site is alive again;(
Dear Knighty,
Please hurry up. There are those of us who want to RP, write stories, update stories, and read updated stories, or find new stories to read.
Darn it Nightmare Moon don't you remember we all love you on Fimfiction! Eternal Darkness everywhere else!
DAMNIT!! I was hoping to do some reading while I reinstall everything on my other laptop... Guess I'll go work on that portal to Equestria.
Okay... That's it. I'm finding a DeLorean, putting in a time flux capacitor, and getting that baby up to eighty-eight miles per hour. I'll save every story on there, and share with everyone else... Wait... Damn it... I don't have a time flux capacitor nor do I have access to a DeLorean... Well hell... That's it I'm out of ideas.
Waking up to 5 emails of story updates made me freakin excited now i come home to this shit... well you know what they say; if it can't get better it gets worse.
The last time this happened there were only 3 comments. Remember that you can read most stories between cached versions (which I honestly am not that good at working with) and their posting on other sites, such as Equestria Daily. Fallout: Equestria (or FoE), for example, is on Equestira Daily, and most of its inspired stories can be found on www.fallout-equestria.com
OK. I just went to the Fimfiction Twitter. 3 hours ago they said they have no idea what happened and were investigating it. Is it really that bad to still be down?
so not happy about this. I was in the middle of reading FoE. Now I have to wait til its back up. -_-
Dammit. If this keeps up my Chaotic Mind side will break out and wreak some massive havoc on the world.
for anyone who is reading. if you know the url of the chapter you were on. you can always open it as a google cache page and read it XD providing it has existed for atleast 24 hours
Ahhhh it's been hours
Do you not understand that i have literally no other means of entertainment knighty
Fix this now
:( i was reading a story all day long, and i was gonna start the epilouge.. but AHHHH want it NOOWWW
Oh no! What am I supposed to do with all of this BOREDOM I'm carrying around?!?! Ooohh! Something floaty!
Its been two and half hours since the site has gone dark and I fear the worst. The nightmare has won and eternal night has enveloped the site. we can only hope the elements can still be recovered and save us once again.
I sure as hell it hasn't been hacked by some Anti-Brony party.
Come on, Knighty, get it online!!!
I'd like to know what the hay is going on. It's been like this on Firefox for two stinking days and now it is down on chrome. Luckily i published my newest chapter before it went down. -- Solar Eclipse
Well, this sucks. It sucks for a whole mess of reasons, but none the less it sucks. Hopefully it will be brought back to life soon.
knighty- "I wonder if I can do this to the site"
pop up- This webpage cannot be displayed
knighty- "Not again!"
Luckly I created an account before it got down.Let's just wait until it backs... I hope it's soon...
Oh no! It's down! This has never happened to me before! it is the end of the world!!! When is it gonna come back on??!!
Servers are down for me. Isitdownrightnow.com says FimFiction.net is up so I don't know what's wrong that I can't connect to that one site alone.
why is the site down, is it being updated, because i REALLY dont want it to offline, it's such an AMAZING reading site, please respond
well darn. i was just about to start procrastinating from my 1000 page paper due in a week that i still need to finish. *sigh*
If you really want to read a story, you can use the google cache to read. All chapters of all stories are there. It's what I've been doing. Make sure to click text only, makes it faster.
goddamit, i was about to right an epic FanFic, i had just signed up on their sight when it went down
Maybe hasbro finally took the site down due to copyrights. I really hope not, I was in the middle of a good story.
Today is 3/15/2013 and time is 10:00 A.M. USA Mountain Time.
FimFiction.net, according to isitdownrightnow.com, has been down for almost1.5 hours.
Maybe due to new server location? Server was in France at site launch but is now in Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA now.

Vortex Biosciences, a provider of circulating tumor cell (CTC) capture systems, Thursday announced it has registered a Class I medical device with the US Food and Drug Administration and established a CE Mark for its proprietary CTC capture system, the VTX-1 Liquid Biopsy System.
Vortex is a portfolio company of the UK's NetScientific plc (AIM:NSCI, LON:NSCI), the transatlantic healthcare IP commercialisation group.
"Both the CE Mark and FDA Class 1 registration are significant milestones achieved towards making VTX-1 commercially available in early 2017 and bringing us closer to the sale of the system in the clinical market in the US," said Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Vortex, Francois R. Martelet.
The CE Mark allows Vortex to install systems in the European Economic Area (EEA). VTX-1 will initially be distributed into the Research Use Only (RUO) market. The FDA Class 1 registration is a first step towards the sale of the system in the clinical market.
A CE mark indicates the VTX-1 has met all applicable directives of the European Commission (EC) and subsequently the laws and regulations of the European Union (EU) member states and therefore can be commercialized within the 30-nation EEA and Switzerland. The establishment of this CE mark involved thorough evaluation and testing of the VTX-1 to assure it performs safely and as designed. The FDA Class 1 registration ensures we are operating within FDA guidelines for the use of the system.
Representative of cancer status in the patient, CTCs, shed by tumors, can potentially allow for better characterisation of the disease, resulting in more informed treatment decisions. Cancer cells are traditionally obtained through tissue biopsies. Biopsies are costly, painful, often not possible, and cannot be performed on all possible tumor sites.
CTCs offer tremendous potential, but are relatively scarce, with concentrations as low as 1-10 CTCs/mL of whole blood, against a background of millions of white blood cells and billions of red blood cells. Capturing CTCs out of whole blood is a critical step in utilising CTCs for cancer diagnosis, better cancer treatment decisions and disease monitoring.
The Vortex VTX-1 Liquid Biopsy System is a fully automated benchtop system for collecting intact CTCs using microfluidic technology. Inside the VTX-1 chip, unlabeled CTCs in whole blood are trapped in microscale vortices while smaller red and white blood cells pass through. After selective trapping into the microfluidic chambers, CTCs can be flushed and collected into a variety of containers for downstream analysis.
The Vortex CTC isolation process is label-free and contact-free, keeping CTCs intact and viable. Samples processed by the VTX-1 minimize white blood cell contamination, resulting in a highly pure CTC sample with minimal white blood cell contamination.

Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace gets annoyed when media and fans talk about "Bad Bo" versus "Good Bo," but the better side of the senior has been taking the field much more often for the Rebels these days.
Bad Bo is prone to interceptions and generally baffling plays. Good Bo runs for touchdowns and can hit receivers on the run with precision.
Ole Miss fans hope they can say goodbye to Bad Bo for good, and it appears that may be the case.
While Mississippi State's Dak Prescott has emerged as a Heisman Trophy front runner, Wallace has garnered some attention for the award himself.
Along with the Heisman buzz comes the increased spotlight, and he's handled it well so far. When false rumors of Wallace being arrested started to spread on social media in early October, Wallace took to Twitter to discount the false accusation.
Wallace was able to make fun of the experience in an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.
"Hopefully it was bad Bo that got arrested and I hope he stays in the rest of the season," Wallace said.
For the No. 3 Rebels to realize their dream of a spot in the College Football Playoff, Wallace has to be at his very best.
After a bumpy start with three interceptions in the season opener against Boise State, Wallace has been just that.
Against SEC opponents, Wallace has yet to turn the ball over and he credits his improved play to more confidence.
"I feel so much more relaxed going into games," Wallace said. "I know if we punt the defense is going to go out and make a stop. I'm going into games confident and feeling good. I'm definitely not trying to force any balls."
Wallace is in his third year as the starting quarterback for Ole Miss, helping lead the team to back-to-back bowl victories — the BBVA Compass Bowl over Pittsburgh in 2012 and the Music City Bowl over Georgia Tech last year.
He threw 22 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in his first year at Ole Miss in 2012.
Wallace managed to cut down on turnovers with 18 touchdown tosses and 10 interceptions in 2013. Three of those interceptions came in the 17-10 loss to Mississippi State in overtime.
Ever since the second half of the Boise State game, Wallace has mostly been Good Bo.
Wallace has been at his best in the second half of games, closing out huge wins over Texas A&M and Alabama.
In the 34-3 victory over Tennessee Saturday, Wallace again played his best in the final 30 minutes of the game.
"I really don't know (why I've finished strong)," Wallace said. "It's not a different minds-set or anything. We're just getting in a rhythm. It's nothing that I've changed or anything like that."
Saturday's victory over Tennessee was a sweet one for Wallace, a native of Pulaski, Tennessee.
He'd often dreamed of suiting up for the Volunteers, but he never received a scholarship offer.
He started his college career as a redshirt in 2010 at Arkansas State, where Freeze was offensive coordinator at the time.
Wallace transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he set NJCAA single-season records for passing yards (4,604), total yards (4,810) and touchdown passes (53).
Freeze convinced Wallace to follow him to Ole Miss, and the partnership has paid off for both of them.
Wallace needs his best football to be in front of him if Ole Miss is to reach the College Football Playoff, but it appears that he has put his past struggles behind him.

Buckle Up for the Dollar's RIDE
iS the writing on the wall for the dollar? Researchers at
one big fund manager say it is, but the markets haven't read along just yet.
Since the start of March, Bridgewater Associates, a manager of more than $100
billion of institutional and hedge fund money in Westport, Conn., has been
issuing warnings in its daily reports. One on March 11, titled "The Breakdown of
the Dollar System," said, "As we often say, we've seen this movie many times and
we know the ending."
There is indeed a volatile blend of risks surrounding the dollar. President
Bush's new budget proposal would substantially expand the government's debt
burden in the next decade, potentially raising doubts about the desirability of
its i.o.u.'s. Some Asian central banks have declared that they will diversify
their reserves away from dollar-denominated assets. If China decouples the yuan
from the dollar, it will not need as many dollar-denominated assets to keep its
currency from gaining value, nor will its competitors for export markets. In
recent times, long-term interest rates have stayed stubbornly low, making it
difficult for American companies to attract new investment from abroad.
These ingredients may just be waiting for the right catalyst. If enough
people start thinking like those at Bridgewater Associates, the dollar will lose
value rapidly. There's no point trading dollars today, after all, if everyone
thinks that they will be worth less in the near future. Fundamental economic
factors need not worsen any further; in currency crises, perception very quickly
becomes reality.
Bridgewater says it believes that the dollar is already beyond the point of
no return. To keep the currency at its current value, private investors will
have to buy more American securities as central banks desert them, said Robert
P. Prince, the firm's co-chief investment officer. Before private investors will
act, they need to see a higher return from American assets, relative to assets
carrying similar risks abroad.
Mr. Prince said that those higher returns had begun to arrive through lower
prices for assets. If an asset comes with a fixed interest payment, say 4
percent, buying it at a lower price will offer a relatively higher return. But
these higher returns could cause problems for the economy. Borrowers in the
competitive market for credit will have to offer higher returns, too, and
interest rates may rise. "The Fed doesn't want that, because too much of a rise
in interest rates will choke off the economy," Mr. Prince said.
The alternative is for the assets' prices to remain the same while the dollar
loses value. That way, foreigners will be able to buy assets at a discount,
yielding a higher return, but without putting too much upward pressure on
American interest rates. (The implicit assumption here is that the assets'
future returns will not be harmed too much by today's lower dollar.)
So, instead of allowing the economy to adjust purely through higher interest
rates, perhaps causing another recession, Alan Greenspan and his colleagues at
the Federal Reserve will have the luxury of allowing the dollar to do some of
the heavy lifting. The numbers? Bridgewater predicts a further decline in the
dollar of 30 percent, especially against Asian currencies, and a rise in
American long-term rates of one-half to one full percentage point.
Not everyone thinks that events will play out this way. "It's really too
extreme to be talking about potential crises in the dollar," said Martin D. D.
Evans, a professor of economics at Georgetown University in Washington. "Yes, we
have seen a large movement in the dollar versus the euro in particular, but to
say we're sort of on the edge of a precipice isn't really merited by the facts.
The premise here, thinking that it's impossible for the dollar to come back, I
also don't buy."
Professor Evans said the Fed's hand would be forced by the rising tide of
inflation. "The Federal Reserve cares about inflation," he said, "and they're
going to be very reluctant if they start seeing the inflationary effects of the
decline in the dollar to just sit by and say, 'But we need low interest rates to
support exports.' " He predicted that the Fed would put the clamps on credit,
leading to interest rates high enough to attract foreign capital: "We are going
to see quite a sharp tightening in the United States, perhaps tighter than
people are expecting."
Drastic predictions for the government's fiscal position may not come true,
either, even though the White House's budget would raise the debt-to-G.D.P.
ratio in 2015 to 37 percent, versus 29 percent under current law. "I don't think
it's big enough to warrant the attention it's gotten," Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin,
director of the Congressional Budget Office, said of the nation's fiscal
erosion. "A lot of the dollar's future will in fact be driven by the other
That does not mean the budget can be ignored. Mr. Holtz-Eakin said he
expected that the government would eventually have to steer clear of a dip into
the red. "It is unavoidable that we will rein in our spending," he said,
"because we are unlikely to be able to tax enough to cover it."
Though action by the Fed and a clampdown on federal spending could spare the
dollar's blushes, they would both be bad news for the economy. A cutback in
federal spending will, at least in the short term, create slack in labor and
product markets. And one of the surest forecasters of recession is a tightening
of short-term credit by the Fed.
Congress and the White House have shown no sign that they are serious about
controlling spending, but the Fed's policy-making committee may already be
proving Professor Evans right. After the committee opted to raise short-term
rates another quarter of a percentage point last week, its statement
acknowledged that "pressures on inflation have picked up in recent months" and
asserted its willingness to act forcefully if necessary.
Whichever way you cut it, we're in for a bumpy ride.

This session is designed for 3rd grade teachers, reading specialists, instructional coaches and administrators. We will be specifically focused on RSA Good Cause Exemption #4 -- Teacher Created Portfolios. The purposes of this collaboration is for you to work with other third grade teachers in the area, to align your curriculum with the teacher created portfolio checklist, determine what resources you have that fit the criteria and problem solve the areas you may be missing. Please bring the following items to this session:
- A copy of the Teacher Created Portfolio checklist - http://ok.gov/sde/sites/ok.gov.sde/files/documents/files/RSA-TeachPtfolioChecklist.pdf
- Your Unit/Benchmark/Theme assessment books and/or the OCCT prep assessment books from your reading series.

Problem: Windows 7 and non-signed print driver needs administrative privileges to install.
Unacceptable solutions: GPO tweaks most of which don't work on non R2 2008, Elevating user privileges such as power users group etc.. Secondary permissible login that only has printer permissions that the user would have the password or interaction.
Please don't respond if the above are your solutions - Thanks :)
Internal Software: VBScript and Batch File creation.
External Software: Encrypted Runas http://www.wingnutsoftware.com/index.asp
The encrypted runas causes one major problem. It elevates to the "administrator" account and thus before you can add the printer to the user you have to let the runas install the driver then release the privilege back to the user and then "install". This means separating the scripts. I ended up with 3 VBS scripts and 2 batch scripts.
The main execution script is Printer_add.bat
echo off
net use q: "\\server\share"
start /B q:\remove8000.vbs
start /B q:\admin_add_printer.bat
Option Explicit
Dim delprint, UNCpath
On Error Resume NEXT
Set delprint = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
delprint.RemovePrinterConnection UNCPath, true, true
net use x: "\server\share"
Start /B x:\Erunas.exe "X:addtosh.eras"
Start /B X:\ERunas.exe addtosh.eras
Echo "Wait for the driver installation to complete before hitting Enter!"
Start q:\addTosh2.vbs
Option Explicit
Dim netPrinter, UNCpath3
On Error Resume Next
UNCpath3 = "\\isnt\Tosh-1sw"
Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath3
Option Explicit
Dim netPrinter, UNCpath3
On Error Resume Next
UNCpath3 = "\\isnt\Tosh-1sw"
Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath3
netPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter UNCpath3
WScript.Echo "Your printer has been added, Hit OK and Close the Black Windows box"
Ok so here's the what and why of it all as it's somewhat confusing.
1. The user executes the Printer_add.bat.
2. The batch file executes remove8000.vbs which removes the old printer for the user (it's being decommissioned and I hate clutter)
3. It then runs the admin batch file which calls out and runs the Encrypted runas which stores the encrypted credentials to run it. The setup for this I won't cover because it's up to you if you wanted to use it.
NOTE: You could do the runas directly using VBscript but it would be VERY easy to crack the password as it would enter cleartext before encoding.
4. The encrypted runas runs the addTosh.vbs script which tries to install the printer. It runs through the driver installation for the user and "tries" to add it but it actually only adds it to the administrative user's account. With that in mind it exits the script and runs the next one which is addTosh2.vbs.
5. addTosh2vbs readd's the printer but this time the driver is there so it just adds the printer and sets it as default and since it isn't elevated with the encrypted runas it does this on the user account and adds successfully.
My question is this: Can anyone think of a cleaner or better way to do this without breaking the above requirements?

see attached for my vbs, it does a few things and runs silent.
Nov 11, 2011 at 1:00 UTC
and.... the unsigned driver issue, I have only been able to resolve by deploying the printers via group policy and no longer using a logon script for printer deployment.
Nov 11, 2011 at 1:14 UTC
Good script, but it still appears to look for user input for the account password unless I am overlooking something?
I believe I know how to get around the problem with the GPO, but this is a quick and dirty printer switch and when the new printer comes back in, hopefully I'll be ready to use GPO to get it done. That's really the only reason I didn't want those answers :)

This week's iPhone B-Sides comes from David Brandon Geeting, a photographer who is known for creating polished compositions of everyday objects — and his smartphone selects, too, reflect an interesting perspective into some the varied aspects of daily life in the city.
"For me, iPhone photos are the new 35mm snapshots. As I get older I find myself caring less and less about how an image was made / what camera it was made with / if it is has been manipulated or left "raw." My personal work is 100% digital now and most of it is set up and photoshopped to shit, so I like the challenge of pulling a cool image out of the air when I'm on the go — the whole act of this kind of snapshot photography is even less heavy when it's not done on film, and I really like that, because I love when things are super easy."
"Possibly the best part about iPhone photography is that you can totally just be a creep and act like you're trying to zoom in on Google Maps, but really you're zooming in on a piece of food between someone's teeth on the L train and they'll never know. Anyway, these twelve photos are ones that no one has ever seen, besides maybe my girlfriend, because I forgot to put them on Instagram."

Privacy concerns in data driven marketing is nothing new
I'm currently carry out a little research using Google Books - a technique I use frequently to scan read marketing books from the 80's and 90's to bring a little sense to the uber-digital world that I currently work in. There's a lot of useful, practical examples of techniques from pre-internet days that those of us who have only ever worked in the internet age are likely unaware of - and while I've been doing this for over 12 years, marketing has been around considerably longer.
Anyway, I digress.
While scanning a couple of books this morning a quotation appeared in two separate books from 2003 describing segmentation techniques and how to approach customer targeting - which made me think about the recent privacy issues we're hearing of in web analytics, adserving, behavioural targeting and the like:
The computer and modern data processing provide the refinement – the means to treat individuals as individuals rather than parts of a large aggregate … the treatment of an individual as an individual will not be an unmixed blessing. Problems concerning the protection of privacy will be large.
Shubrik (1967)
So, this privacy thing is not new, in fact it's been in the minds of marketers for over 40 years now. Have organisations like Safecount (now a for profit WPP company not a lobbying / protection group) addressed the public concerns over privacy? Are organisations like the Web Analytics Association and the IAB lobbying hard enough for standards and openness?
What of Social Media: With people increasingly opening up their lives to real-time streaming is this a privacy concern? Is it ethical for marketers to extract this data for segmentation and targeting purposes? Should the public think more about protecting their personal data? Interesting topics that will become increasingly important as software and tool give us the ability to crawl, collect, segment and analyse behaviour, attitudes and needs.

I take it you have not actually watched any episodes of Lost.
Response to Why Aren't There Any Gay Videogame Characters?:
Caithe and Faolain anyone?
Posting thumbnails of their facebook profile photos seems like a violation of privacy. Why look it up at all? Can't the newspaper announcements (which are public) just be funny on their own? There's no need to go chasing after these people IRL, even if it's just searching their names in Facebook (once upon a time, you were able to be unsearchable but that isn't an option anymore.) Maybe I'm just a paranoid wackadoo, but if it were a screenshot of someone looking up my Facebook page, I'd be upset. This is, of course, assuming that they didn't give their permission. I don't think it's reasonable that just having a Facebook account means you should expect having someone post something like this on a widely-read website without your knowledge or consent.
Stalking these people on Facebook is extremely creepy. What's wrong with you? Why would you think that's an ok thing to do?
Good for him. He's probably a lot happier just being Grandpa than he would be as Mr. President (because really, that job's gotta suck no matter who you are and what party you belong to). What's Gary Johnson up to, Buzzfeed?
Response to 20 Things Extroverts Love:
Your introverted friends don't need any "help." They're fine the way they are.
Buy a real tree! But try going out to the local family-owned tree farm sometie, cut down your own, and make a memory instead of going to Home Depot. It's as little more fun and lot more memorable.
Response to 25 Funniest Passive-Aggressive Notes Of 2013:
office lunch thieves are a real problem. They installed security cameras in our lunch room to catch ours. But they also installed security cameras outside the bathrooms to find out who is pooping on the floor all the time (really).
I have a bachelor's degree i have never used (and probably will never use) and do have quite a bit of student loan debt (not bitter about it, I agreed to it and I make the payments on them) but if I could do it over again I think it really would have been a better investment to go to beauty school or learn a trade of some kind. I loved the experience I had in college but good memories don't pay the bills.
"The mom from Homeland" ……wow….
This is stupid. Women get periods. Big friggin deal. Unless your coworkers are a bunch of middle schoolers, literally nobody gives a shit if you take your purse to the bathroom with you.
Response to All 50 States Recreated By Legos:
this was super cute!
not really sure what part of this was "pretty hilarious"
The Beastie Boys have no choice but to fight it- if they don't defend their IP this time, they are setting a precedent for the rest of their music to be used in the same way.
Response to 12 Reasons To Love "LOST" Re-Runs:
<3 Charlie
"american" is not a race.
Response to A Drunk Driver Tweeted "2 Drunk 2 Care" Before Causing Accident That Killed Two Victims:
I read somewhere once that when the sober victims see it coming they might suddenly tense up or brace for the impact, and when the body tenses up it is easier to injure, whereas the drunk driver stays relaxed and their body takes the impact with less damage. Whether that's total bullshit or not, I have no idea.
Stop calling her Muffins!
Response to 22 Signs You Are A "My Little Pony" Character:
Response to The 15 Most Offensively Named Beauty Products:
I think "washabi" is a really cute name, though I can see how some of the others in that collection could be viewed as offensive.
These stats are interesting, but 'racist' isn't really an accurate or useful way to describe them. Come on, Buzzfeed, you guys need to be more responsible with your word choice.
Response to 12 Awful '90s Movies Based On TV Shows:
Lost in Space is awesome.
<3 K.Flay <3 Love her!!
We read 'Beloved' in AP Lit my senior year of high school…..
In a scene where Taylor is campaigning for prom queen, there is a flyer with a picture of her posing with Hanson.
It's about time!
Response to The 23 Most Midwestern Things To Ever Happen:
When I moved away from the midwest I was pretty surprised to learn that the rest of the country does not consume copious amounts of ranch dressing.
yellow is best starburst
Response to Harry Potter Witches And Wizards Of Congress:
You know Uncle Vernon isn't a wizard, right?
I have never worked in a more abusive, toxic environment than during my retail days at a JCPenney. Forgive me if I don't feel super sorry for them.
Response to What Reality TV Show Should You Be On?:
ewww, The Bachelor?
I've never been told that real men love curves but I have been told that real women have them. I don't think size really has anything to do with womanhood…
You think it should be illegal to mock the President? In America, you get to be as disrespectful as you want without being thrown in prison- that's called "freedom."
Response to Juggalos Give Advice To Anthony Weiner:
I don't know what "don't fiddle ya diddles" means, but I like it.
Fox News and a local Fox station are not the same thing….
Response to 21 Podcasts For Every Personality:
It would make more sense if you said "If you love Good Eats…. THE ALTON BROWNCAST" Since…you know..Good Eats was his show….and he's got a podcast…

We talk to the chair of IoD South, and former CEO of EEF South, David Seall, about his achievements and personal business ethos…
Why are you proud to represent the IoD?
The IoD is a unique organisation because it has members working in all types of businesses, large or small, and in any sector. Those members decide to join as an individual, as a personal choice, rather than joining through their company and that's something very special. The IoD upholds what's best about business and is independent and democratic in how it decides its policy positions. It's a great honour to work with the members, branch chairs and the executive team.
What is the IoD's role for business leaders in your region?
Our main role is to encourage and help our members become better business leaders. We do this by facilitating events and meetings with subject matter that's stimulating and enables the members to learn something new. We also provide ways for members to meet and share their ideas and experience.
Tell me a little about the members you represent.
IoD South has about 8000 members from sectors ranging from business services and manufacturing to pharma/bio and agriculture. We're attracting more members in the emerging sectors that reflect the digital age we live in which is great. I'd like to think a proportion of future IoD members will work in sectors we haven't even thought of yet!
What's so unique about your region?
Although the region is closely linked to London, with many members working in or visiting London everyday, there is a substantial economy independent of the capital. The South is obviously a very successful region within the UK, making a substantial contribution to the national economy. It's very competitive with comparatively high land and labour costs so, for businesses to do well here, they have to be innovative, efficient and progressive. There's certainly a "can do" attitude within the membership.
What does your region offer business leaders?
We're a leading policy voice in the region and participate in debates on topics including the economy, business support, innovation and infrastructure such including airport expansion.
We're increasingly focusing on events and seminars that leave the attendee with something of value – whether it's information on the economy, a valuable piece of professional development or meeting someone who could help their business or spark an idea. We aim for most of our activities to be eligible for CPD points.
What are you most looking forward to in the next 12 months?
Working towards the increasingly harmonised way that we organise and deliver our activities, furthering our work in the policy agenda to greater effect and meeting the person who'll succeed me next year – to hand over the reins!
Finally, what's your personal business ethos?
For me, good governance is so important. It was interesting reading our first IoD Good Governance review, to discover that the companies I most admired were those that tried their best to do the right thing at all times – and most of them tended to have pretty decent results. For me, doing the right thing is always the best choice of action, no matter how difficult it might be at the time.

White Metal Bearings
" The Beardmore engine employs the use of "Babbitt" or "White metal" bearings; these were first patented by Isaac Babbitt in 1839 and were used in steam engines, machinery and the internal combustion engine."
Babbitt has excellent embed ability which means that a foreign matter not carried away by the engine lubricant is embedded below the surface and rendered harmless, this is due to Babbitts hard/soft composition (approx 87%Tin, 5.5%Copper, and 7.5% Antimony) this is a very important factor in these older engines as they do not incorporate the use of an oil filter unlike a modern engine.
replicating the originals
In most cases the Babbitt is poured into a bronze shell which is first overlaid with solder to help create a bond between the Babbitt and the bronze backing. The shells are held in jigs which support the bearing shell while the molten metal is poured in. In more modern practice, the crankshaft and connecting rod big end bearings are made of a replaceable steel shell, keyed to the bearing caps. The inner surface of the steel shell is plated with a coating of bronze which is in turn coated with a thin layer of Babbitt metal of only .002- .007 inches as the bearing surface.
Relining the crankshaft bearings on the Beardmore engine was an interesting exercise in that the center five main bearings are of a conventional setup with caps bolted to the crankcase top half while the two end bearings are integrated into the lower half of the crankcase making it difficult to access the centre bearings with the two halves assembled . Another interesting point is that the crankshaft centre line is offset from the cylinder bores, this was apparently done in an attempt to reduce piston rattle as the engine passed over TDC .
All the bearings were remetaled and machined to exactly replicate the originals, with before and after photos being taken. Lubrication of the main bearings is a mixture of pressure and splash feed whilst the Bigends are of the dipper type where the oil is picked up by means of a scoop on the conrod, as distinct from modern engines which have an oil pump supplying oil directly to the bearings under pressure.

Laura Vandervoort Will Guest Star in White Collar07/11/2012
White Collar: Laura Vandervoort to guest-star in episode 4×04 "Parting Shots"
Here's an article by TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich, which gives a preview of episode 4×04 "Parting Shots" and includes a photo album of pictures from the episode. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on the plot of the episode:
As first reported by TVLine, in the July 31 episode of the just-returned USA Network hit, Vandervoort guest-stars as Sophie, a widow who stands to inherit a massive life insurance policy. While undercover to help Peter investigate possible fraud, Neal romances Sophie yet is surprised when his play turns real and he begins to have feelings for her. (You're surprised, Neal? Really? Look. At. Her.)
My thoughts: I have to say that I think the plot of this episode sounds very interesting, and based on her work on ABC's V, I think that Laura Vandervoort is a great actress, so I'm really looking forward to this episode.

England Church Directories
From FamilySearch Wiki
A church directory lists church ministers, dioceses, and parishes and can provide important information, including:
- Addresses for church officials.
- Lists of church jurisdictions and headquarters.
- Chronological lists of principal church officials.
- Brief biographies or career summaries of current ministers.
- Addresses of church schools or other institutions.
For an annual directory that lists all Church of England ministers, see:
- Crockford's Clerical Directory. 95th Edition. London, England: Church House Publishing, 1997. (Family History Library book Ref 942 E4c.) This work is indexed by parish. Use it to obtain each minister's name, address, and telephone number. Crockford's has been produced annually since 1858. Previous editions can help you trace the career histories of former ministers. Earlier editions are on microfilm or microfiche in the Family History Library.
Similar directories for several other religions are also available. They are often organized by the church jurisdictional area. These directories may help you identify neighboring congregations of the same faith.

A variation on the "More Gore" marketing theme at Gore Mountain Ski Center fits nicely at the North Creek Ski Bowl: "More Nordic." The historic site, operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority in partnership with the Town of Johnsburg, now offers cross-country ski facilities, a direct result of the non-winter weather of 2015-16.
Once famous as a pioneer in winter sports in New York's Adirondack Mountains, the Ski Bowl languished but has come back to life in the past 15 years and is flourishing again at the base of Little Gore Mountain. It is connected to ORDA's seemingly ever-growing Gore Mountain center and offers a full menu of activities—Alpine and Nordic skiing, a terrain park with a half pipe, ski/boarder cross and snowshoeing under the lights on its grounds. The new Nordic and snowshoe network open to the public was developed over the summer following a successful experience of hosting cross-country races last winter.
The overall turnaround at the Ski Bowl is the result of several factors, including efforts by FrontStreet Mountain Development LLC to bring its ambitious Ski Bowl Village at Gore Mountain project to reality. David Crikelair, who has been skiing at Gore Mountain since the 1960s, is the managing partner. His son, Mac, is the project manager.
FrontStreet—working with over 400 acres that it intends to turn into a four-season sporting club community of hotels, townhouses and private residences—has made land transfers totaling 73 acres with the Town of Johnsburg that allowed for the expansion at the Ski Bowl. The first land deal led to the construction of the Hudson triple chairlift, which opened in January 2011, to replace the long-closed T-bar. The addition of the Hudson chair was the link to the interconnect with trails at Gore Mountain, and the Ski Bowl became a second entry point to the state-owned ski center.
In September 2015, FrontStreet announced the transfer of 35 acres that will enable ORDA to offer more trails off the Hudson chair. A vibrant Ski Bowl is essential for FrontStreet, as it markets and sells its property as a ski-in/ski-out resort.
ORDA has made some changes in its operational plans for the Ski Bowl, which have expanded the space open to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Tubing—a staple at the Ski Bowl since ORDA began managing that site in 2002—has been discontinued and some of that part of the venue has been repurposed for cross-country skiing. The Ski Bowl has nine loops—the longest at 2.5 kilometers—for skiers of various abilities. Some three kilometers of the total of nearly five kilometers have lighting and snow making. Being able to produce snow for the groomed courses assures a viable season during a winter with very natural little snow, as was the case last year.
Mike Pratt, the longtime general manager at Gore, who will become the interim president and CEO of ORDA in February when Ted Blazer retires, says that the Nordic expansion meets a grow- ing demand and has been well received.
"In the demographics of society, the endurance community is growing. The Nordic community is part of that trend," Pratt says. "Nationally, if you survey the population, more people would say that they Nordic ski than Alpine ski."
After seeing what could be done last winter to accommodate cross-country skiing with snowmaking in place, ORDA improved the trails in the summer of 2016 so they could pass certification by the International Ski Federation to be used as race courses.
"Those standards are very tricky in Nordic," Pratt says. "They require certain hill climbs and a lot of different standards, and we met it." The inspection has been completed and ORDA was awaiting the official documentation.
SPECTATOR-FRIENDLY RACES Traditionally, cross-country ski races started and finished at the same spot, but most of the competition occurred on trails well out of sight of the public. ORDA took a different approach and set up the Ski Bowl to make the races spectator friendly.
"In modern Nordic ski racing, the courses are developed around what is called the 'stadium effect,' so there is a lot of visual impact," Pratt says. "We had parents of racers saying last year that this was the first time they had ever seen their children race. The visual impact was tremendous. We have some bleachers and little outdoor fire pits just to make the spectators comfortable, too."
The 2016-17 season opened in early December when 215 competitors took part in Section II high school races.
"It was scheduled on their calendar to be a roller-ski event in Queensbury and, because we had snow, they came to Gore," Pratt says. "Last year, because many areas were closed and we were hosting competitive and recreational skiing, we hosted nine Section II races and the sectional championships. We hosted four New York State Ski Racing Association events and a Junior National qualifier event."
Cross-country skiing has been popular in the Adirondacks for decades, and more Americans began to embrace the sport after Bill Koch of Brattleboro, Vermont, earned a silver medal in the 30-kilometer race at the 1976 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, Austria. Forty years ago, there were very few high schools in the Capital-Saratoga Region that had ski teams. That has changed quite a bit through the decades—there were 13 districts participating in Nordic a year ago—and the Ski Bowl has become an important location for high school and age-group races.
"One of the things that was problematic last winter was the uncertainty of what we could provide, and what the Nordic skiers wanted," Pratt says. "Going through the process of formalizing our courses, we can show people the certificates; everyone knows what we have. With the stadium effect and the modern certificates, the Nordic industry is really excited."
SNOW TRAINS TO THE SKI BOWL This season, the Ski Bowl is scheduled to be the site of many Section II events and its championships, more NYSSRA races and two Junior National qualifiers. It is part of the evolution of the Ski Bowl, which traces its roots to the arrival of the first snow train on March 4, 1934, carrying nearly 400 members of the Wintersports Club of Schenectady. Buses and trucks took skiers up the road to the Barton Mines for the ride up, slide down adventure. The community purchased 250 acres in 1935 to develop what became the Ski Bowl.
During the winters that followed, trains brought skiers from Manhattan to North Creek, and events at the Ski Bowl in the 1930s were routinely written about in major newspapers on the East Coast. The ski industry grew after World War II, and the Ski Bowl faced increasing competition from many other venues, especially nearby Gore Mountain, which opened for business in 1964.
Pratt, a native of Lake Placid and graduate of SUNY Potsdam, has been working at Gore Mountain for about three decades and has been active in ORDA's role at the Ski Bowl.
"We have been operating there since 2002, starting with tubing," he says. "In 2007 we replaced the little T-bar with the Village triple chair and added some lights. Then, in 2011, we replaced the big T-bar that had not operated since 1977 with the Hudson triple chair and redeveloped the historic area. In the summer of 2015 we added snowmaking on the lift line trail that is called 46er, because the big T-bar we replaced was originally installed in 1946."
A signature steep trail served by the 1946 T-bar was the Hudson. It was re-opened as a glade in 2011 when the triple chair replaced the T-bar. ORDA cleared more of that trail and added snowmaking in the summer of 2015,
but the weather was so bad last winter that the Hudson area was not used. It is scheduled to make its debut this season.
The Ski Bowl is an example of the public-private partnership. The Town of Johnsburg owns the base area, the lower part of the mountain home to the cross- country ski trails, and the parking area. FrontStreet's property is located to the north, but some of its acreage included part of the old Hudson trail, part of the Rabbit Pond trail and the lift line. The Gore Mountain lands are further up the mountain and on three other peaks. The transfers allowed for the rebirth of the Ski Bowl.
"The town has acquired those lands in an agreement with the developer, so that we could utilize them," Pratt says. "The developer received some other lands from the town that were desirable in his permitting process."
There will be more improvements made in the future to the skiable terrain transferred from FrontStreet. According to the company's website, when it is completed, FrontStreet's Ski Bowl Village is planned to include 136 townhouses, 18 single-family homes, The Hudson Lodge, five hotels, a spa facility, a nine- hole par three executive golf course, an equestrian facility, restaurants and retail space.

Lundin Petroleum AB, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lundin Norway AS (Lundin Norway), announces the completion of wildcat well 6608/2-1S. The well was drilled in PL330 about 60 km east-southeast of the Aasta Hansteen gas field in the Norwegian Sea.
The exploration well 6608/2-1S, operated by RWE Dea Norge AS, was targeting the Sverdrup prospect. The well confirmed the existence of an active petroleum system but did not encounter reservoir rocks. The well is being plugged and abandoned as a dry hole. The well is the first exploration well in PL330.
Alex Schneiter, Chief Operating Officer of Lundin Petroleum comments; "Despite the results of this well we still believe the Utgard High has interesting exploration potential. We will review the results before determining our forward program."
The well was drilled to a vertical depth of 5574 metres below the sea surface, and was terminated in rocks of Lower Cretaceous age. The well was drilled with the rig Transocean Winner.

SLC2A1 is a gene encoding a protein known as solute carrier family 2, member 1, also called GLUT1. This protein allows the transport of glucose into and out of neurons, thereby modulating the availability of this energy source. The effects of specific mutations in SLC2A1 can be ascertained by introducing a replica of the gene containing a particular mutation into cells and then assessing the behavior of those cells.
We are pleased to offer our mutation characterization and drug screening services for eligible pathogenic mutations within SLC2A1 at the current rate of $50,000 and an anticipated timeline of six months. Please contact us with interests and inquiries.

Hi, i am creating my own Ea, i don't know of programming, so i contracted a programmer to help me. I am developing my Ea in the way i see what is doing for me. But i need to make some changes, maybe can somebody help me?
What the Ea does:
- Its a grid Ea, works with pending orders
- it opens a buy pending and a sell pending at 2 selected RSI levels.
The changes i need are:
If you look at the RSI graph, and you select the levels think of the space between the levels as the trading zone of RSI. So if selected levels are 30 - 70, this is the trading zone of RSI. It uses closed bar for opening pending orders
So the changes i need is to change the execution of the orders.
1.- Delete system 1 of Ea
2.- Actually pending orders are opened when the price crosses into non trading zone of RSI.
I need that the Ea opens the pending orders only when RSI is going from non trading zone RSI into the trading zone RSI (so when the price crosses into the non trading zone RSIhere it does not open orders, but it has to open them when it crosses back inside the trading zone RSI).
For example, not open when it goes from RSI level 69 to 71, but when it goes from 71 to 69 for highr level
3.- It has to close and delete all pending orders when the bar close in the non trading zone RSI
I attach picture of RSI levels explaining.
Can anybody help me with this changes in my code?
Thank you!!
