A father-of-one who kept nearly a million pounds worth of drugs in his home and an industrial unit has been jailed.
Police stopped Sam Andrew Barnes, 27, at the wheel of a silver BMW containing a "substantial amount" of amphetamine on the westbound carriageway of the A64 near Tadcaster on May 13, Stephen Thornton, prosecuting, told York Crown Court.
Detectives made a series of searches and found 23kg of the Class B drug in the car, in his family's home and in an industrial unit he rented.
They also found scales and other drug paraphernalia.
If cut up and sold on the streets, the amphetamine would fetch £900,000, said the barrister.
Barnes, of Calf Close, Haxby, pleaded guilty to possessing amphetamine with intent to supply it to others on the basis he had been acting as a custodian for others higher up in the drug supply chain.
"This was no doubt a large scale and no doubt sophisticated operation dealing in amphetamine," said Judge Guy Kearl QC.
"You must have had some awareness and understanding of the scale of this operation, given that it was on any view for drugs valued at just under a million pounds".
He added that Barnes had also sold some of the drug on a small scale to support his own drug habit.
He jailed Barnes for three and a half years.
For Barnes, Michael Smith said he had been getting drugs for his own use and he was "prevailed on with some threats" to act as warehouseman.
He thought he would only have to look after them for a short period, but the length of time turned into weeks, rather longer than he had expected.
His arrest had come about through a "weak link" in the chain of drug supply.
The barrister said that Barnes' employment "may have led in part" to him getting involved in drugs, but did not say what the employment had been.
Mr Thornton said Barnes had been the only person in the BMW when it was stopped and its back seats were down. In addition to the drugs he had £260 in cash, and at his home, he also had £1,770 in cash.
The prosecution has started asset confiscation proceedings against Barnes, and he will return to court later to learn which of his assets he must lose.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Sep 13, 2012.
QuestionI am thinking about putting money in a Swiss bank account. Is that safe and a good idea? What are the drawbacks of doing this and what are the benefits?
Thank you for the question. However, I think this question needs to be directed to a personal advisor. There are too many unknowns to give you a relevant answer. Some things to keep in mind are:
-Why are you considering doing this (taxes, safety, etc.)?
-Are you investing US dollars, buying Swiss Francs, etc.?
-How much are you thinking about putting there?
-What is your time period?
I recommend that you contact a qualified, local advisor for advice. You can visit www.findacpapfs.org to find a personal financial planner in your area.

A series of reports about federal disability benefits that aired recently on NPR is getting a flurry of criticism from advocates for the disabled.
The series, "Unfit for Work: The startling rise of disability in America" by Planet Money reporter Chana Jaffe-Walt, examines a rise in Americans getting disability pay over the last few decades and presents a startling conclusion.
"Some of that growth is due to a changing jobs market," said Jaffe-Walt. "Workers finding it increasingly difficult to get a job are using the disability program as a sort of last resort."
Among those objecting to the series is Rebecca Vallas, co-chair of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Social Security Task Force and staff attorney for Community Legal Services.
She joins a chorus of advocates criticizing Jaffe-Walt's over-reliance on anecdotal evidence to make sweeping generalizations about federal disability benefits.
Vallas says her single biggest beef with the series and its message is that it's missing a lot of key information and context.
"It completely misses the largest drivers of growth," she said.
The two factors that Vallas says explain nearly all the growth described in the series are the aging of baby boomers into their high-disability years, and the unprecedented number of women who entered the workforce in the '70s and '80s, she said.
Another key point the series is missing, said Vallas, is that most disability applicants are denied. She said it's an incredibly common misconception that it's easy to get benefits.
"The conversation that we really ought to be having, and that I really wish we were having more often in the media and elsewhere, is: What can we do to take these programs and strengthen them and build on them?" she said. "There's a lot of proposals out there that should be taken seriously and that should be getting attention."
Another thing ghat she says needs more attention is adequacy of benefits. "We need to look at whether benefit amounts are keeping pace with the cost of living and with inflation and whether they're sufficient to enable a person with a severe disability to really live with dignity and to meet their basic needs."

Another great video mate
Just fooling around with fastrack by rel1k. Thought I'd post a video of it i made. Just sort of a proof of concept that it works.
autopwn w/ fast-track.py
*fullscreen mode is in the bottom right corner
Yep another good vid tut.
Nice tune also.
Just one question one you have the remote shell can you call upon it at any time or once you close fastrack does access to that machine also close.
Once fast track is closed I personally don't know how to save the session so what I do is scroll back through the logs and note which exploits worked. Then I can open a metasploit console and use the exploit I know works with more exotic payloads such as the meterpreter .dll.
which is my next video I'm working on today. It will be a few parts. I will use windows to build a vnc backdoor and use metasploit to up load and execute it.
Some one else may know how to save the sessions in autopwn but I do not.
Thanks for the quick reply pureh@te.
Looking through the logs is a good enough answer for me.
in ezpawn i will launch autopawn via directly a msfconsole so you won't have pb to save your session after it ends........
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD

-bash: ./fast-track.py: No such file or directory
I am using bt3 i had to do cd /pentest/misc then fast-track.py
(just incase anybody cant find it lol)
Thank you again
That's because I was using backtrack 2 not 3 and when I installed fast track when rel1k first released it that's just where I put It. Thanks for pointing that out to people using bt3.
I am running bt3 and when i run fast track like the video my autopwn stops when it gets to here.

it does nothing for about 5 minutes. Then my bt3 crashes and i have to reboot. Does anybody else get this. I might try on my bt2

Also its worth mentioning that Fast-Track has been updated recently so make sure you've got the latest version.

Jaded Alt made a list of all the new World of Warcraft bloggers, and I've been cruising through the list seeing what juicy reads they can offer!
Of course, I have a soft spot for Warlocks so I went straight to Amijade of Warlockery. She wrote about 10 things my Warlock Has Taught Me, number 10 is my favourite!
When does Tzufit NOT do an awesome post? One of the best druid bloggers (if not THE best) I know, she has written a really insightful post titled Intentionally Undergeared: The Role of Instinct in Skill. She was thinking about whether healing is a skill that can be taught, and she writes from her own experience to say how for her, healing is an instinct rather than a skill. That it's not about gear, it comes from knowing what to do, or rather knowing the extent of what you CAN do. I could relate to what she was saying, because when I try to teach people to play a druid, you can tell them your rotations and what to do, but it is very difficult to tell them how to cope in an emergency situation where all hell is about to break loose. There is no formula for that, and knowing instinctively what to do is the difference between winning and wiping. I'm not saying that if you don't have the instinct you will fail, and I don't think Tzu is saying that either, but I think that if you know your class really well, you really know what you can and can't do.
Oh and a lot of us did the Nerd test that Tome of the Ancient put in her blog. If you haven't done it yet, then go do it! It's a great little test and worth a good laugh.

What's Your Sign?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
While usually pretty lucky, Fred had once again run into "Cut-my-own-throat" Dabney. This time he was at a gas station on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Fred was just trying to duck into a restroom to hide when he heard, "Hey, buddy!" and felt an arm descend onto his shoulders.
Fred rolled his eyes. "What?!"
"Hey, no need to get all dramatic, Freddy, my boy," Dabney said, "I just want to talk to you."
"Uh, huh," Fred replied. "And how much is it going to cost me?"
"Ha ha! That's a great one," Dabney answered. "But since you brought it up, I did just inherit a radio station that I'm looking to sell. It's in an up-and-coming suburb of Lincoln, Nebraska, and it would be perfect for you."
"Dabney, I know nothing about the radio business. How could it be perfect for me?"
"With modernization, you don't need to know anything. Just flip a switch and go. And," Dabney continued, "it's perfect for you because it's a mere $50,000."
Fred's eyes got wide. "But... "
"Here," Dabney interrupted him, "look at this picture of the place. It was built in 1998, went on the air in 1999, and just had a major overhaul. It's top of the line."
Despite himself, Fred was curious and took the picture for a closer look at the station. The call letters were clearly visible. "WHAT is the call sign?"
Dabney laughed, "I knew you'd get a kick out of that! Yep, the call letters are W-H-A-T, but you can request a change from the FCC if you want. Here's the title. See? It's all legit."
Fred didn't even bother looking at the document. He knew it was fake. "Get out of here, Dabney," he said. "I don't want your phony radio station."
How did Fred know the station was a fake?
AnswerFred knew that since 1923, all new radio and television stations west of the Mississippi river start with the call letter "K". Only stations to the east of the river have call signs that begin with "W". Fred also knew that ship call signs are the reverse ("W" in the west and "K" in the east), but since Lincoln is not known for its Pacific port, he knew that wasn't the case.

One of the better episodes...a suspenseful, intriguing tale.
(THIS IS WHAT RADIO THEATRE SHOULD BE) Based on a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before he started writing Sherlock Holmes books, this tale is told in a narrative by the ship's doctor of the whaling vessel Polestar. Heading north toward the Arctic Circle on a whaling voyage, this story among other things apparently made somewhat famous the island of Spitzbergen (off Norway, I believe), which in the story was visible in the distance. The ship, led by a driven captain who saw a large school of whales, was advancing into a winter storm and was in danger of getting frozen in. However, that wasn't the greatest of the crew's fears. The captain, a strong leader but quirky and somewhat aloof, was suspected of being out of his mind. Worse still, the crew was becoming increasingly worried due to strange crying and wailing noises that seemed to follow the ship since it left Dundee, Scotland. Crewmen claimed to see dancing lights and strange figures (especially at night, by whatever fortunate crewman was standing watch). The ship's doctor even had nightmares of his captain pleading to a moaning woman in the cabin next door to him. My favorite line from this: "Blast you for a blind idiot". (Said by the captain to the doctor who couldn't see SOMETHING on a nearby ice floe the captain seemed to see.) If you've not listened to this, do it tonight if possible. One of the best, IMHO, the RMT ever produced.
A. Canolo
The setting of the ship adds an extra spooky element to any tale of the supernatural. The wind sound was used to good effect. This show reminded me of "The Oblong Box" and another story, the title of which eludes me, that involved a crazed captain who killed his entire crew. If I recall right, he had the corpse of his wife in the cabin. I wonder if there are any other episodes of RMT that involve a ship and a ghost or crazy captain. I liked the fact that, if I understood it correctly, the apparition of his wife was apparently a projection of his mind rather than a ghost. A little like Forbidden Planet? RMT managed to turn out a number of high quality episodes. And even when the show recycled plots, it managed to add nice touches which kept the series fresh. A lot of old time radio shows were entertaining; X-Minus One, Escape and Suspense come to mind. But RMT stands a cut above the rest; the fact that it aired in the 70's and 80's helps in that the show still seems modern in a way that radio broadcasts from the 40's and 50's don't.
One of RMT's best ever!!!! This one just exudes atmosphere from the speakers!!!-- the howling wind, the creaking ship, the fear in the voices of the frightened men. Court Benson delivers a first-rate performance! I think he's under-rated. He never fails to hold my attention or create a character I'm curious to hear more about. Paul Hecht is superb as well (as always!). The whole story just draws you in and you can almost feel the chill of the Arctic whipping about you. I love the music bed used when Dr. Ray first recites from his journal aboard the Polestar. That music was also used to great effect in another Hecht episode-- "The Guillotine".
This episode is similar (only slightly) to "Death Is A Woman"--in that a woman's portrait is a central "character" and seems to have supernatural powers.
I'm curious, has anyone ever read the Arthur Conan Doyle original of this story? How different is it? I know RMT use to take great liberties with such adaptations.A great time of the year to hear this type of tale!
Guillian M.
There were many things I enjoyed about this program. Mainly, the storyline. It was very slow, which I usually don't care for, but most sea-faring tales I can recall seem to take their time in leaving port, so to speak.
Conan Doyle creates another mythic landscape with this tale - one I had not been aware of prior. I am so used to the whole Sherlock Holmes settings, that this was in such contrast to Hound of the Baskervilles, and the rest.
Among the other things that struck me well with this tale was the consideration of sound editing. I just love when you tap into one of these programs to discover that someone, whether it was H.Brown or someone else, had paid the mind to put special attention on what was going on behind the main characters. In most cases, this tale allowed me the opportunity to feel as though I were on that boat. Wonderful escapism!
Lastly, the acting, as is typical, was superb, though the Captain's voice did often make me frown.
On the down side, it was again, quite slow moving. I had the patience, so it didn't cause me annoyance or anything, but it was noticeable. The only other thing that got me to "snap" out of my immersion was the sound of the spectral woman. In part because I didn't expect it and in part also because the teaser at the start of the show suggested a polar bear, the effect of the moaning woman struck me peculiar. I wasn't sold on it immediately. Once it was in there, it became elemental; but upon introduction, it sounded odd... out of place. A very unique episode for sure!
I've always respected Lloyd Battista's talent, and I remember an episode ("Search for Eden", I think) where he gave a good if not convincing spanish accent. But, while I hate putting down any actor's work, I've talked here before about his "hoarse Irish cop" accent which he's done several times. When he made that voice he didn't sound as if he was acting, but rather play acting.
- The RMT was very good, often, when they were doing episodes taking place on a boat of some sort. "The laughing maiden" and "The great white shark" come to mind. In this case, the sound effects were tremendously done...when Dr. Ray and Mr. Manson see "the Polar bear" you hear two ship's bells, ostensibly chiming one o'clock in the morning (as Dr. Ray said it was in the darkest part of the night). (Then again, they were near the pole so who knows what time of the day it was.)
- I loved how Dr. Ray attacked the problem as a true physician would, trying to rule out one cause after another as he would diagnose a disease.
- "The captain of the Polestar" was the title of a collection of short stories by Conan Doyle. The man was certainly a gifted writer.
- The closest (and only other, frankly) comparable RMT tale to this one was "Sea Fever", which took place on a "blackbirding" slave ship, in warm waters (as I recall), with a captain who didn't give a rat's rear end about his crew. "Captain of the Polestar" (apart from having a possibly deranged captain) was the anti-Sea Fever.
Interestingly, with the genuine care he seemed to have for his men, Captain Craigie of the Polestar reminded me of another misunderstood but driven commander of a ship, William Bligh. Good thing no one got flogged on this ship, though.
This one had a great atmosphere. The setting is a creaky old ship cruising the lonliest place on earth. It's storming and the crew isn't certain they're going to make it back. Add to that a captain who is driven by seeming hallucinations and madness and it's not hard to discern why the crew is increasingly concerned for their own welfare. I gave it a five! It was a spectacular episode. Court Benson wasn't bad. I can't stand when he tries to do that old man voice. It sound very fake and of all the voices any of them do, that's the worst. Dryden, Raeburn, Shea, and Juster did good voices. But others did just fine with the same voice week after week. Janny, DaSilva, and Gwynne played a large variety of roles without varying their voice.
Pete Mack
Interestingly, I think this was Court Benson's best performance (when he was "Captain Cragie" on the RMT. However, you've said Benson had a good voice when he was being a leading man, but his "other voices" left some to be desired.
He's also the voice of "Mr. Manson", and it's amusing that around the 25:01 mark he , or rather his voice, almost breaks character when he says "I didn't think I should move him". As "Captain Cragie", at the mark he almost breaks it again at the 13:51 mark when he hoarsely says "You have your orders, Mr. Walker."
- Errrrrr, what were the captain and his woman, er, ghost, er, hallucination doing in the captain's cabin?
A great one! (And, BOY, with these Polar winds still whipping about it's quite appropriate for the time as well.)
1. THIS STORY HAD THE MARK OF A GREAT, LEARNED WRITER. I know Wiki isn't always an ideal source for information, but look at the article linked above on Spitsbergen. The pictures (taken apparently during good weather) look like what we heard described in this show. (Again, think of a ship nearly frozen next to a land mass the size of West Virginia (the size of the Swalbard archipelago, of which Spitsbergen is the largest part and the only inhabited one (if you can call a total population of 2,000 in said area "inhabited")). And right now in this winter that's actually frozen schools of fish off the coast of Sweden, you got from the sound effects an idea of the cold, and the danger, these men were in. 2. THIS STORY HAD THAT WONDERFUL RMT/TWZ MUSIC. And especially used here was a music bed with a rolling series of piano slip notes, backed by muted trumpets and muted trombones. It is first played when the doctor says "I'll speak to the captain at once" then notes the coast of Spitsbergen in his diary. This music bed was exclusively used when an RMT story took place on the ocean (it was played heavily in "The raft" (somewhere in the Atlantic in the winter on the way to Brazil) and also in "The great white shark" (off the Australian great barrier reef)) - it was also used briefly in a story about conquistadors invading Mexico from the ocean). LOVE IT. 3. THIS STORY HAD MURRAY BURNETT'S SCRIPT. (With these wonderful phrases like "Blast you for a blind idiot!" and "er..uh..is the captain in full possession of his senses?" I loved the dialogue here.) And finally: 4. IT HAD SOME GREAT RMT ACTORS: Hecht, Benson and Hammond were among the RMT's "A" team. And Jane Ives (who it's hard to find info about, but is a very sweet looking woman from her picture) had (true to her picture) a very soft, pleasant voice for the doctor's fiance, and carried that to the voice of the captain's woman, yet with the emotion of a lady who had been wounded deeply. Five stars from me. Here's my question: the story wasn't called "The captain's woman" or "The ghost of the polestar". Conan Doyle wanted us to focus on the CAPTAIN. It's noteworthy that even though he jeopardized his men the captain (as a good man in his profession is duty-bound to be) was simultaneously concerned for their welfare and prosperity. (i.e. not wanting a man in a would-be foraging party to be lost "in the iceholes".) I'm still not sure who the captain was, but clearly he was and had to be the pivotal character of the story (which also played on the old nautical superstition against having a woman on a ship). RMT greatness.
Bravo to Murray Burnett who wrote this CBSRMT episode and other adaptations from Arthur Conan Doyle. The music in ACT-1 made the story sound fanciful, then it becomes mystifying in ACT-2, and finally the music in ACT-3 makes this ghastly tale compelling. The best word to describe E.G. Marshall's part as host is "gripping" especially when he does his introduction about ghosts. The sound effects of the high winds and the creaking sounds of the PoleStar ship were dead-on, makes you feel like you're there in the Arctic. The best part of all, was the Cast: Paul Hecht (as Dr. John Ray), Court Benson (as Captain Cragie), Earl Hammond (as Bruce), and Jane Ives (as Flora). Each of them made the characters believable, especially the Doctor & the Captain. They are not lionhearted, nor are they villainous. But both are curious human beings that seek answers on this icy voyage. The Doctor yearns for knowledge and the Captain yearns for affection that only exists in the Arctic. I highly recommend this to everyone because it's both a drama-mystery & a fantasy-mystery. Well done
I really enjoy episodes, like this one, that are well written and have sound effects of winter! One of the most suspenseful of all scenes of Mystery Theater, in my opinion, is the first act of "Silver Medal", another episode set in snowy winter, on an icy cold mountain, on a stuck cable car. You have a feeling of expected doom, and it plays out so well, with great sound effects and acting. There are only about 5 real winter episodes that I know of - these two and "Return to Shadow Lake", "White Wolf", "Death on Skis", there are probably a couple more, but I wish there were so many more because it is really great to have the snow and win as settings, it feels very cozy to be indoors listening to it them. Can anyone recommend any others?

Are My Friends Sick Of Hearing Me Talk About That Guy?
Have your friends had enough?
-Julia Austin
"Love can make us useless in society." Mary Shelly, one of the greatest female authors wrote that. Although that was centuries ago, she obviously still gets the whole 9 to 5 working, cocktail-drinking woman (yes, that would be you).

But, you can't help it if a new relationship has got you so giddy you can hardly think straight! As for everything else—your job, your friends, your family drama—you've become immune to that and it doesn't affect the other parts of your life. It's just background noise. But new love (or just like) can be, well, distracting.
You see your guy everywhere you look, you hear him in every song, every joke, and every story your friend tells. I mean, really, you seem to talk about him all the time to anyone who will listen.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/4/2013 (1582 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- The Ontario government is stepping in with cash to save the Experimental Lakes Area.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said her government is negotiating with Ottawa, Manitoba and the International Institute for Sustainable Development, to get the "critical" scientific research program back on its feet.
"We are committed to finding a solution," she said. "I think this is an important gem. I don't believe provincially, regionally, nationally or internationally we can afford to let it go."
ELA, a series of 58 lakes in northwestern Ontario near Kenora, has run scientific experiments on fresh water for more than four decades. It is a unique facility in the world as the only one of its kind where research is done on whole bodies of water.
The federal government has run ELA since the inception, through an agreement with Ontario to use the land which is owned by Ontario.
However a year ago Ottawa announced it was getting out and pulling its $2 million annual operating funding.
Federal fisheries minister Keith Ashfield repeatedly said ELA no longer fit with Ottawa's priorities, and said the government would look for a new partner to take over the program.
However no partner was found before the closing date of March 31, and the facility has not operated since then.
Wynne wouldn't say how much money Ontario is willing to put in, saying there is the $2 million annual operating fund as well as some capital required, and that Ontario is in discussions right now with Canada, Manitoba and the IISD about that.
She said "you'll have to ask the federal government" whether it doesn't believe in the scientific knowledge the site can provide but she said Ontario does.
"It's important to us, a government that believes in science and believes in evidence, to have this continue."
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger refused to say whether Manitoba would be prepared to commit funding to preserve the ELA.
Selinger confirmed that Manitoba is working with the Ontario government to save the environmental but he said both provinces are still seeking "a substantial commitment" from Ottawa.
"We'll work together to find a way to preserve the research because it's made a big difference on places like Lake Winnipeg. And that kind of research will help us to save Lake Winnipeg and other lakes in Manitoba," Selinger said.
He refused to speculate on what the two provinces would do if Ottawa continues to refuse to fund ELA.
"We want Ottawa to be there discussing it with Ontario and Manitoba," he said. "We know that it's not only important research for Lake Winnipeg, it's important research for all of Canada."
David Schindler, who founded ELA and directed it for more than two decades, was breathing a sigh of relief this morning.
"It's some good news for a change," he said. "It's great to see this level of support."
Schindler has been highly critical of the federal government for abandoning ELA.
"Ontario is showing a lot more sense than our federal government," he said.
There are 17 scientists, biologists and other researchers whose jobs are tied directly to ELA. They all work in Winnipeg, and do their experiments at ELA.
Since the end of March they have been unable to go to the site or work on their experiments. Schindler said they have been "mostly wringing their hands and waiting."
He said it looks as if Ontario is going to tear up its agreement with the federal government and hand over the reins to IISD to run the program. Schindler said that is going to be an improvement to have the program run by a research and scientific organization rather than "bean counters who wouldn't know a fish if it slapped them in the face" in the federal government.
IISD President Scott Vaughan confirmed in a statement the Winnipeg-based organization is working on a plan with Ontario and Canada to take over operations of ELA.
Vaughan was in China on business when Ontario made its announcement but put out a statement in a press release before boarding a plane to return to Winnipeg to deal with the news.
"The ELA is a natural fit with IISD, building on the track record of our Water Innovation Centre," said Vaughan in a press release.
"If the ELA does come to IISD, we would work with other stakeholders to ensure it remains an independent, world-class research facility that continues to produce leading-edge freshwater ecosystems science in the public domain and in the public interest."
Britt Hall, University of Regina professor and spokeswoman for Save ELA, said there are a lot of relieved people.
"We're thrilled Ontario has stepped up to the plate and picked up the federal government's slack," said Hall.
She said if the negotiations can play out quickly now, there may not even be much of an interruption in the experiments done on the lakes because of the late spring.
Usually Hall said experiments don't start on the lakes until May 1 but this year it will be even later since there is still ice on the lakes.
"While this might mean people will scramble and prepare to get out there, there will be no interruption in the science."

So i am working atm on a social project that might be used by alot of users at the same time, so i was wondering where can i host my website so lets say 500k+ users at the same time wont have any lag or problem just like twitter,facebook,etc. I know they have their own data center but i mean where should i host my servers so i can get such stability 24/7. I hope someone can help me out and also please dont tell me about a high priced hosting company like 1k$ per month or such.
You expect to serve 500k+ concurrent users for less than $1K? Sorry, not gonna happen. Anyone who you tells you they can is lying. The hardware and infrastructure required for so much traffic doesn't come cheap.
So how much it gonna cost plus what exactly is needed?
Both hard to say. Depends on how it's set up, what the technical requirements are, etc. In any case, I'd start small(ish), see what happens, and scale when needed. Something like a few nice Amazon EC2 to scale automatically would probably be a good start. Again, depending what you'll actually need.
I am not sure if you got me wrong or i got you wrong, but i am looking for a hosting company where i can rent from it good servers for the start phase not buying a server, So lets say i will start small as you said what exactly i need for the server? and which hosting company and it will be great if you provided more enough like RAM/bandwidth/connection/location/hdd/etc
Let's try a rough calculation of the bandwidth requiredIf we estimate that each user loads a page of 100kB every 30 seconds500000 / 30 * 100KB = 1.6GB per second = you need 20GBit in connectivity :rolleyes:So perhaps 30 high end servers (going to need plenty memory, good cpu and a fast disk array to serve a constant 1Gbps, and some spares for redundancy) at £500 each a month, then perhaps another 4 for load balancing, and another bunch for backup, and a database cluster..
I'd read 37signals 'Getting Real' online ebook, then reconsider prematurely grand hosting plans.
Well programmed, you will need cloud solution like yahoo and google uses. Important is to create the app most clever way. Sometimes apps are badly made so it consume X times more resources than is necessary.
A cloud solution in this case would mean that you will only be paying for the resources that you actually need instead of purchasing 30+ dedicated hosting accounts when one would possible be re than sufficient in the first month or two.
Cloud hosting is however massively more expensive per unit of bandwidth than dedicated servers, and is also generally so per unit of cpu. When you have a load balancer, you can set up 1 or 30 servers behind it (either real or virtual). The only advantage cloud hosting has is the capability to switch on and off server instances dynamically. If you have a reasonably predictable demand curve, hard iron is always much cheaper than cloud.
I say you start small first by getting a VPS, that will do it for the first months if the site will be succesful. Then upgrade to a dedicated server and so on. If youll get traffic, youll have enough income to afford the hosting, don`t worry. Just get that traffic, that is the tricky part, not the hosting. And good luck beating the giants!
ll get traffic, you
Thanks all, i was wondering is there a section in that forum where i can hire freelancer or such thing?
There isn't, but you can try the SitePoint marketplace.
Serving such amount of users would require strong datacenter backend, with multiple servers and management. You may also need to consider using cloud infrastructure with different hardware location.
Means you want to say if we required 30+ dedicated server then we can switch for cloud computing?What about 500k+ users concurrent,is it possible to handle by cloud computer when resources are shared?
You wouldn't need 30+ servers to start with - on day one you are going to have plenty of spare capacity on the first server. You might grow fast and need a new server every week or grow slow and only need a new server every six to eighteen months. The speed of growth might vary with 18 months between needing one server and two and then three days from there to eight servers. How are you going to know when to buy a new server that isn't going to be sitting around for months before its needed?
With a cloud solution you let the cloud provider worry about it. Their growth will be far more even because while one site is growing fast others are growing slow so they can reasonably add new servers at more regular intervals so as to ensure that they have enough thousands of servers to cater for next weeks growth.

VULNERABLE elderly women, one of whom is almost blind, have had their purses stolen during a "despicable" supermarket distraction theft.
The victims, one aged 92 and partially sighted, and the other aged 85, were both victims of the theft at Aldi in Kidderminster Road, Roman Way Retail Park, Droitwich at 2.30pm on Thursday, April 24.
The 92-year-old victim of Droitwich, who declined to be named, said: "I think it's dreadful. I feel sick to the stomach. I still can't believe it. I think they are horrible people."
Wychavon safer neighbourhood inspector Janet Heritage said: "This is a despicable crime where these people have targeted two vulnerable victims. I appeal to anyone that was in the area at the time who may have seen the activities described to come forward with any information that they may have, including any details of possible vehicles or the identities of the offenders."
The two elderly females attended Aldi store on Kidderminster Road at about 1.30pm. They had been in the store for some time completing their shopping. At the till a male and a female that they did not know assisted them with packing their bags and moving their items around, causing them confusion when the purses were taken.
Both women went to the car park with their shopping and were met by the same female and male along with another male who insisted on helping them get their shopping into the car. The female was described as "very persistent" in her actions and the shopping was placed into the car. The male who helped pack items in the store was trying to put in an assistance walking trolley into the car. The female was next to another female and the first male took things out of bags to put into the boot. This confused the women but they thanked the young couple for helping. One of the elderly victims then realised that her purse has been stolen. The second lady has then gone into her shopping bag and also discovered her purse had been stolen. The unknown males and female made off in an unknown direction and using an unknown method of travel. One of the females was dressed all in black clothing. The first male (who assisted on both occasions) is described as tall (nearly 6ft) with dark short hair, wearing a black jacket (leather like) and lighter coloured trousers. The third male was dressed in dark clothing. All are described as slightly dark skinned with a poor English.
The purses stolen were a black and white snakeskin type purse containing cash and bank cards
and a cream coloured purse containing money, bank cards and a bus pass.
Police can be contacted via their non-emergency number 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 11.

Honda Racing Global Update
Mar 22, 2013, 08:12 ET from Honda UK
LONDON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Civic Targets World Championship Honours
- Franchitti Wants His IndyCar Crown Back
- Yet More Sebring Success for HPD
Honda kicks off its first-ever attack on the FIA World Touring Car Championship at the famous Monza circuit on Sunday (24 March). A two-pronged team of Civic WTCCs has completed a busy programme of pre-season developments and is now ready to contest the globetrotting 12-round series.
Run by the Italian-based Honda Racing Team JAS organisation, the two Civic WTCC will be driven by former F1 drivers Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro. The 51-year-old Italian has a wealth of touring car history having won British, European and World Touring Car Championships in 1994, 2003 and 2009 respectively.
While somewhat newer to the dark arts of tin-top racing, Tarquini's 36-year-old Portuguese team-mate has already marked his card with four WTCC race victories when racing for previous teams.
To ensure the new team gets off to a flying start in Sunday's season opener, the two 1.6-litre, turbocharged Civic WTCCs entered the final three rounds of the 2012 championship - Monteiro claiming the car's maiden podium at Macau in November.
All 12 rounds of the FIA World Touring Car Championship are broadcast live on Eurosport.
Scottish star Dario Franchitti is all revved for yet more success when the US-based IZOD IndyCar Series kicks of with this weekend's Honda Grand Prix of St Petersberg (23-24 March) on Florida's sunshine Atlantic coast.
To date Franchitti has notched up no fewer than four IndyCar crowns in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 as well as three Indianapolis 500 victories in 2007, 2010 and 2012 - all achieved with Honda engines. It's a remarkable tally and one to which the 39-year-old is determined to add during the year ahead.
"My goals are another championship and another victory in the Indianapolis 500, and we are doing everything possible to achieve that," he said in determined fashion having only finished seventh overall last season after a slow start.
While there's a familiar feel to the 2013 IndyCar calendar with a mix of street, permanent circuit and ovals on the 19-race schedule, a few new challenges lay ahead for Franchitti and his rivals. Belle Island, Toronto and Houston all host new double-header weekends with two races each and some showdowns will now feature standing, rather than rolling, start procedures.
Around half those lining up on the 2013 IndyCar grid are Honda powered entries all armed with high-tech, turbocharged 2.2-litre V6s developed by Honda Performance Development in California. Other notables include Scott Dixon who is Franchitti's team-mate at Target Chip Ganassi, former F1 favourite Takuma Sato and Englishman Justin Wilson.
The entire 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series will broadcast to UK viewers on ESPN (Channel 417). Live coverage of the opening Honda Grand Prix of St Petersberg is from 4.15pm on Sunday afternoon.
Honda has savoured its first major international motor sport success of the 2013 season at the classic 12 Hours of Sebring sportscar race in Florida, scoring a commanding one-two victory in the LMP2 class.
Californian-based Honda Performance Development (HPD) and its Honda-powered ARX prototypes totally dominated last year's American Le Mans Series (ALMS) when clinching multiple LMP1 and LMP2 titles - and now its partner teams have kept up the winning habit in the opening round of 2013's championship.
Powered by 2.8-litre, turbocharged Honda V6 engines, the pair of HPD ARX-03b prototypes entered by Level 5 Motorsports totally dominated the LMP2 category. Ryan Briscoe, Marino Franchitti and Scott Tucker finally took the spoils from the sister ARX shared by IndyCar Series Champion Ryan Hunter Reay, Simon Pagenaud and Tucker (who drove both Level 5 entries).
Honda power also set the pace among the ALMS regulars in the premier LMP1 class but the Muscle Milk Pickett Racing run HPD ARX-03c - propelled by a normally-aspirated 3.4-litre Honda V8 - eventually had to settle for second place among the points scorers and fourth overall behind the two factory Audi coupes and the leading Rebellion Racing entry.
With the dust now settling at Sebring, the ALMS battle switches to the renowned streets of Long Beach in California on Sunday 20 April.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Without constant stimulation from new experiences the brain's strength and agility can decline over time. One way to break your routine is by taking a random roadtrip in your car.
Normally, when you are driving from point A to point B, you brain goes on autopilot. A simple way to introduce novelty is to take a different route to your destination. Take some streets that you've never driven down before.
Another fun way to change things up is to set out on a trip, but have no destination in mind. Simply turn whenever you feel like turning and go wherever your fancy takes you. This can be a fun family experience if you let each person pick the directions for a period of time.
Another way to drive somewhere new is to get out a map, close your eyes, and put your finger down someplace. Now drive there and see what it's like. These new experiences are a great way to stimulate the mind.

The meninges are a protective lining around the brain and spinal cord. A meningioma is a tumor of these linings. Most meningiomas do not cause symptoms. But, if the meningioma grows, it can push on important parts of the brain. These tumors may be graded I-III, with III being the most aggressive.
Malignant meningiomas (grade III), also called anaplastic, are less common. These tumors are faster growing and very likely to return.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The exact cause of meningiomas is unknown. The development appears to be associated with genetics and certain hormones.
Risk Factors
Meningiomas are more common in women, and in those aged 40-70 years. Other factors that may increase your chance of meningioma include:
- History of breast cancer or sarcoma, as part of the Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Obesity
- Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)
- Exposure to radiation, especially to the head
- Parent, sibling or child with meningioma
Symptoms of meningioma are usually related to the area of the brain that is affected. Symptoms can also be due to an increase in the pressure inside the skull. Symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Vomiting
- Changes in behavior
- Double vision

You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will have a neurological examination.
The brain can be evaluated with imaging tests. These may include:
Your brain activity may need to be measured. This can be done with an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Treatment will depend on the size and location of the tumor, its rate of growth, and your general health. The main types of treatment for meningiomas are:
Surgery may be recommended if the tumor is located in an area that is easily reached. Most surgeries can be done without causing neurological damage.
Tumors need blood flow to survive. In some instances, prior to surgery, a catheter may be inserted into blood vessels supplying the tumor. It will disrupt the flow of blood to the tumor. This will make the tumor shrink. The smaller tumor can then be removed with surgery.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is used either on its own or after surgery has been done.
Some tumors may be located in an area that is difficult or too dangerous to operate on. Radiation may be used on its own if the tumor is causing symptoms and cannot be removed with surgery. Radiation therapy is an effective way of treating the tumor and stopping its growth.
If the tumor is a higher grade, radiation is generally considered. In this case, radiation may be given either on its own or after surgery to help prevent the tumor from coming back.
Your radiation oncologist will describe how the therapy is delivered and how many treatments are needed. You may receive 25-40 treatments on a daily basis, or fewer treatments if you are having stereotactic radiosurgery. This type of treatment delivers higher doses of radiation during each treatment.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It is used when other treatment methods fail.
There are no current guidelines to prevent meningiomas.

The Look: Rihanna
Lea Michele is known for her head-turning performances, from the stages of Broadway to the halls of McKinley High, but we can't help take notice of her showstopping style.

Here, she makes a speech at the Teen Choice awards wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress.

What is not funny is how this strategy has become the reality of the battle to implement pokie reform.
The promotion for Four Corners lacks any mention of the cornerstone of the reforms. Pre-commitment was never proposed to be "mandatory" for all. The truth is that gamblers will be able to lose up to $150 per hour gambling on pokies that require no pre-commitment, no card, no license to punt. At a maximum bet of $1, this will account for 80% of existing gamblers without them having to change their gambling habits. This modest consumer protection measure asks only gamblers whose choice it is to gamble on the dangerous high intensity machines to choose how much they are prepared to lose.
Here's how Four Corners pro-pokies bias shows through:
- The reforms are described as "radical",
- The core question posed is "it was good politics - but was it good policy?"
- Wilkie "cut a deal"
- The lead advocate for the clubs statement is broadcast that "it was a deal done behind closed doors" - the truth is that the agreement has always been a matter of public record. Want a copy? Email me at email@example.com and I'll send you one.
- The reporter states "And the punters are in a spin"
- A gambler's statement is broadcast "people have got to register at how much they are going to play. They won't play at all". This is wrong and promotes the ClubsNSW spin without question.
One wonders how many times this inaccurate and biased promo will be broadcast before Monday night. It should be withdrawn and re-edited.
Click here to read the Four Corners promo page.
There appears to be more bad and biased reporting on the way...
- The story is called "Wilkie's Gamble".
- There is a false statement " "Labor promised to introduce smart card technology that would force gamblers to decide in advance how much they would spend when they played poker machines." The actual promise allowed for gamblers to gamble on safe machines without any card, any registration, any setting of limits.
- The reporter's question is set "why did he choose pre-commitment technology that had never been properly tested?". The fact is that the technology has been tested. It has been in use in Australia and overseas for years.
By using the word "play" instead of gambling; the ABC has been duped by the Yes Minister strategy.
I have already written to Four Corners in an effort to have the full facts disclosed. I urge you to do the same. Click here to send a comment.

Guy Proves That People Are Shallow, Intolerant Of Unibrows
NASA engineer and former unibrower Mark Rober set out to prove his theory that people with unibrows experience more discrimination than those with a space between their caterpillars. He pulled a Tyra Banks and went out in public with a fake unibrow and a hidden camera. Using the scientific method to test out his hypothesis, he confirmed what we already know: people are shallow and they don't like unibrows. Well, most of them. I happen to find unibrows compelling, but that's just me. The next time someone with a unibrow asks you a question, be nice, dammit! And don't take pictures and post them on your Instagram feed. That's rude. [Laughing Squid]

Topic: Sorry so long but an update and a question about sleep at the end
Dad has been on hospice care for a few weeks now. We took him to Disney last week to fulfill his final wish. The whole family was there (14 of us). He got to spend a couple hours at the parks 3 days.
He is going downhill fast and I know the end is very near. He does not sleep. He thinks he does, but he doesn't. I kind of think it is to just keep him going. It is frustrating to mom because she has to be up all night helping him get up an down and make sure he is safe. I am going to come when my husband gets off of work this week (2 am) so she can sleep for awhile.
They have tried Ativan but it made him dangerously confused and out of sorts. I assume most sleeping or anxiety drugs will do the same thing as his liver cannot metabolize them?
Also, what else can I expect in the next little bit? I feel I have asked before but I don't remember and can't find my old posts from my phone.

The natural occurrence of clean water used to be commonplace throughout the world. But these days, especially within urban settings, water needs all the help it can get. Part of that help involves taking care of the waterways that wind their way through our neighborhoods. Here at Oakland Zoo, our group of dedicated teen volunteers, the Teen Wild Guides (or TWGs), have been doing just that, helping the local creek return to its natural, healthy state. Along with a wide array of other volunteers, the TWGs have been joining the ongoing effort to restore habitat along Oakland's Arroyo Viejo Creek, which runs through Knowland Park on its way to San Leandro Bay. These volunteers, who range in age from 10 to 100 years old, include high school groups, families, church groups, scout groups as well as alumni and corporate groups.
During several weekends last year, the TWGs assisted the Zoo's Education Department and Horticulture staff in leading Arroyo Viejo Creek volunteers and various community groups with the following projects: planting native species including Stipa grass plugs; clearing dirt debris and invasive plants from an adjacent new lawn area; clearing weeds from around new oak saplings and mulching around nearby trees; and creating a wooden border between a new parking area and the habitat restoration site to prevent native grasses from being damaged by zoo guests.
Funding for the tools and materials needed for this restoration work has been provided by a generous $4900 grant from the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's Clean Water Program and Community Stewardship Grant Program. But the TWGs' contributions to the creek's welfare have gone beyond performing physical labor. These teens understand how important clean water is to the environment and humans, and that riparian habitats are critical for wildlife and ecosystem functions.
With this in mind, they've also assisted with sharing conservation information with our volunteers on a variety of pertinent topics, including:
- What are Watersheds?
- Why watersheds are so important
- Invasive Plant Species
- Native Plant Species
- Edible plants that are found alongside the creek
- Riparian habitats
- Animals that inhabit riparian habitats at the creek
Through their involvement with the county's Clean Water Program, the TWGs have learned how to restore native vegetation on creek banks and wetland transition zones, and how this work has contributed to the long-term protection and biological health of streams, aquifers, and terrestrial resources of our watersheds in the North Bay. As part of this grant, the TWGs have also worked with teen volunteers at Fruitvale's Peralta Hacienda Park, restoring native gardens and working on the restoration of Peralta Creek. The Oakland Zoo TWGs are always looking for new members. If you know an enthusiastic teen who's interested in animals and community service, give the Zoo a call at 510-632-9525 ext 201. It could be the opportunity they've been waiting for—the chance to help make a difference in the natural world!

You can see your car in action and receive some AWESOME pictures of your car on the track. (Examples: Click here)

25 June 2012
Justin Verlander gave the bullpen the day off on Sunday with his 117-pitch complete game victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the Tigers' relief corps, as currently constructed, has been lights out when asked into the game. As a group, they've allowed just one earned run to score in their last 17 innings of work (since the extra inning loss to the Rockies 10 days ago). But the solid goes back further than just the last week and a half. In the month as a whole, Tigers relievers have logged 66.1 innings while only allowing a 2.44 ERA.
There have been some rocky moments with Tigers relievers on the mound this season to be sure, but most of those moments came earlier in the year with the likes of Collin Balester and Daniel Schlereth in the ball game. Because of some of these outings, the Tigers rank 12th in the American League in bullpen ERA, but the guys currently out in the bullpen have pitched much better than that.The seven relief pitchers on the 25-man roster at the moment are: Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, Octavio Dotel, Phil Coke, Duane Below, Brayan Villarreal, and Luis Marte. These seven players have worked a combined 180.1 innings, struck out more than a batter per inning, and recorded a 2.94 ERA. That ERA would have been good for third best in the American League. And all this from a unit that's still missing Al Alburquerque who was one of the bright spots a season ago.
It's still more than a bit unnerving to not know what the team's going to get out of closer Jose Valverde when he returns to action in the upcoming days, but the fact that the rest of the bullpen has been so good helps calm some of the fears of late inning implosions.
A strong bullpen is so important, especially down the stretch and into the playoffs, but it was something the Tigers couldn't rely on while they were struggling in April and May.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 2.13.13
It was in that moment that huge breasts spared the lives of countless people. Dorner retreated, excited to tell some buddies in Big Bear how he's pretty sure he saw some nipple. Could've been a shadow, but he's pretty sure…
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed that just made a terrible joke at the expense of a national tragedy because having emotions is for people who wear pants to work. Although, I know you guys can't wait to surrender a sizeable chunk of your own souls making fun of the rest of these people, so here goes: Josh Duhamel, who can see his wife's penis from there, Hilary Duff, who grew a third asscheek (I'll allow it.), Ted Vagina, and David Hasselhoff, who's super excited because when his flight left for Sydney, McDonald's was serving breakfast, then when he landed — STILL BREAKFAST!!
Time zone jokes, got 'em (Full Disclaimer: I did absolutely no research to fact-check if this is even remotely accurate.),

A CAMPAIGN group protesting against proposed plans to build on former green belt land have stepped up their efforts to have the site removed from the council's plans.
One campaigner has even bought a banner to put outside her house, directly opposite the proposed access road to the site.
The group are protesting against Wycombe District Councils proposal to potentially develop on Slate Meadow, which separates Bourne End and Wooburn Green.
Miriam Blazey, who had five t-shirts and a large banner printed, said: "It (the banner) was the easiest way to let people know about the development and the work we are doing.
"This house is directly opposite Frank Lunnon Close which is one of the proposed access roads onto the site."
Mrs Blazey has now displayed the banner on the fence in her front garden which will hopefully alert even more people in the area to the potential development.
The house on Cores End road is directly opposite a potential access road to the site which would increase traffic on the already busy road.
Mrs Blazey added: "The group are trying to get at least two more banners and we may use some old boards that the Bourne End Residents Association has from the last time Slate Meadow was a proposed area for development."
