There were more than 7000 tweets posted during the two days of LeWeb, no way anyone can read them quickly. We need filtering and search by authority. We're not equal on Twitter, as we're not equal on blogs and on the web. I am not saying someone who has more followers than yourself matters more, but what he says has a tendency to spread much faster. Comments about your brand or yourself coming from @techcrunch with 36000 followers are not equal than someone with 100 followers. Most people use Twitter with a few friends, but when someone who has thousands, if not tens of thousands of followers starts to speak, you have to pay attention.
Brands do pay attention and already start understanding the difference. We made the experiment with Ben Metcalfe. I started complaining that Sprint was not offering the new Blackberry (they still don't, I want a BB Bold with worldwide unlimited data) on Twitter and minutes later a Sprint representative contacted me and offered me VIP customer service. I loved it. For the experiment, @dotben started also complaining about the same issue (and really would love a Bold too, it was true) but nothing happened for Ben. Why not? Sprint understood that I have nearly 10x the number of followers of Ben so I had to be answered immediately, even with my weird last name no one can pronounce. Ben has almost 2000 followers, I think Sprint should actually pay attention too.
What we need is search by authority in Twitter Search. Technorati had nailed it years ago by allowing searches filtered by number of links the blogger had. It would be very easy for Twitter to add an authority line in their search criteria, with the number of followers so that you can search for say, only people who have more than a thousand followers and see what they say. React as fast as you can for criticism from them. It is not a criteria for being smart or not, but clearly a criteria for how fast something can spread.

Brad Carsonwrote a review of Kelty Basecamp Kitchen on August 16, 2011
Amzing kitchen
Kitchen prep, cooking, and clean-up all became a single integrated process on the Basecamp Kitchen. Having all necessary items in one spot made the task of cooking as pleasurable as cooking at home. It also helped reduce concerns of little hands getting into things they shouldnt as it allow my wife and me to focus on one spot of concern the Kitchen instead of having all these things sprawled out over a campsite.
Overall stability of the Basecamp Kitchen was amazing. Adjustable legs help in the leveling of the Kitchen.
Setup was a breeze.

An elderly Polish man is suing police for $500,000 after a conniving crack addict contrived to have him arrested for sexually assaulting her.
Marian Andrzejewski's simple act of kindness -- a box of odds and ends he gave away to reduce the clutter in his Rochester St. apartment -- had horrible consequences, his statement of claim alleges.
Filed Wednesday, it tells how the 75-year-old artist spent 75 days in jail when cops took the word of a lying, aging addict who had tried to extort money from him.

First I thank parts select for such fast shipment and correct parts.The main problem was defrosting the coils between the freezer and fridge.

R&R heater coil (shorted out and glass broken).Defrost thermo.located behind coils replaced as precaution. Defrost Timer located at bottom of fridge frame next to compressor. A couple of screws and unplug and plug in new part .(Also replaced as precaution-not qualified to test and dont want to do the job over) Thanks to google for info.First time for this job. You can do it.Bob

Were these instructions helpful?
The defrost timer was mounted in refridgerator by the temp. control. Just two mounting screws to remove. Tested this part as discribed in trouble shooting section. It needed to be replaced. Also found the defrost elements behind the rear wall of freezer, they were the glass tube type one was clearly blown. The freezer coils were a solid block of ice. No way the air could flow into refridgerator part. used a hair dryer to defrost also used a thicker wire ot unclog the drian that leads to pan under fridge. this one had two glass tube heaters that wear held in with two screws each. just unplug wires. I also replaced the thermostat since it was right there and it was the only other part listed that could cause the freeze up. bottom line its like i have a brand new side by side fridge. These kind are like $1500 to replace. So for $99 in parts and and hour or work I got my fridge back. Thanks for your help and getting the right parts here in just a couple of days.

After seeing Aphrodite 20 by virtumake I did the same thing to this bust.
Imported into 3dsMax. Slice Modifier. Export as stl. Voila.
UPDATE: There are 2 lots of files. 1 version ( bustTOP & bustBOT) is with a base. The other (bustTOP & BOT _NObase) is, surprisingly, the one with no base.
BE WARNED: at 0.10 thickness, 2 shells and 10% fill and using the accelerated x3g format, the bustTOP_Nobase build took 30 hours and 49 minutes while the bustBOT_Nobase took 30 hours and 18 minutes to build.
Make sure you have got enough filament on your spool.
If you are using a replicator 2, if you haven't done it already, replace the standard filament plunger extruder system with one of the many excellant spring loaded extruders on thingiverse.
Two lots of stl files, top and bottom. Note the NObase TOP/BOT is NOT interchangeble with the base TOP/BOT version.
10% fill, 2 shells. Print, glue. I use polystyrene cement for models. Works a treat for me. The paint is a spray 'White Knight' Metal Tones Super Gold.
Scaled for Replicator 2. Maximum size is about 10% bigger.

text: Remember how we said Incredible Hulk had to pull in an impressive second weekend box office to be considered a hit? And how the Hulk movie really had to beat Get Smart? Well, get in the lotus position and stare at a metronome - we've got some upsetting news. Get Smart pulverized TIH at the box-office, taking in $39 million to Hulk's $21 million. And preliminary estimates show Hulk scoring a roughly 62 percent drop-off from its first weekend, nearly as bad as Ang Lee's Hulk. The movie is close to making $100 million, and it'll probably do well on DVD. But the prospects of a second Incredible helping are dimming. Update: Now people are speculating Incredible Hulk's performance may actually hurt Marvel's stock.

Troy Union Church installs new sign
There is a new sign, in the form of an open book, framed in wood and sturdily supported above the snow line at Troy Union Church. The left panel is a beautiful oil painting, to scale, of the church, with the banner "Built in 1840." The right panel makes several inviting statements, beginning with "The little church with a big heart." The painting was done by Susan Husson and the lettering by Barbara Brown. The frame was built by Greg Rossel and installed with the help of David Brown and Rev. George Darling.
The little church is raising money to repair and restore the steeple, which is leaning because the supporting trusses are rotten and sagging. In order to meet the $80,000 match required to apply for the Maine Steeples Project Restoration Grant, an additional $65,000 is needed. Without receiving that grant, the total cost of the truss and roof repair and belfry restoration is about $120,000. Donations may be sent to Treasurer, Troy Union Church Steeple Fund, 230 Bangor Road, Troy, Maine, 04987.


text: I've been reading up all I can on the J8. I cannot wait to get my hands on one. I'm curious if there are any differences between the JK hardtops and soft tops and those of the J8. Are there any limitations as far as mounting any accessories (roof racks, spare tire mount, etc.). Thanks.

Discussion in 'Dancers Anonymous' started by pygmalion, Dec 21, 2010.
You say that like I know anything about football. Not so much. lol.
I guess I should clarify this, because it sounds extreme.
Most kids were eight when they started third grade in August. DS was an outlier because he stayed in lower Montessori an extra year. He had just turned nine when he entered third grade, because his birthday is in June.
DS's best bud, the seven year old, came from a school district in another state that had different cutoff dates. (Jan 1 versus June IIRC.) He turned eight that December.
The ten year old had been red-shirted in kindergarten and later had to repeat third grade because of illness. In Texas, by state law, if you miss more than 10% of school days, you must repeat the grade regardless of how good your grades are. That ten-year old was absolutely brilliant. He just had the misfortune of getting sick the first time he did third grade.
Anyway, at the end of the day, DS started his third grade year with kids at an age spread of roughly two and a half years.
Sounds like a plan.
Just want to check in and say thank you to all for your contributions to this thought-provoking conversation over the past few days. I didn't even ask a question, and I got so much useful. helpful information. I appreciate everyone's contributions.
Especially because I'm a custodial-parent single Mom, it can be very difficult to navigate these things sometimes. DS trusts me completely and is very wary of his Dad. So most decisions fall squarely on my shoulders, because I'm the person with the most influence over DS.
I appreciate your input more than I can say. Thanks to all of you.
I realize I'm probably asking this question of the wrong group of people, but does anybody have thoughts on what works in terms of SAT/ACT prep?
I honestly don't remember prepping for the SAT myself, back when I took it (a billion years ago.) I just got up one Saturday morning and took the test. I aced the English and got two wrong on the math. But I've always been a whiz at taking standardized tests. *shrug*
Problems: 1) It's a completely different test now than it was then. and 2) Did I mention that I took it a billion years ago?
Any thoughts on the efficacy of those SAT prep courses (like the ones offered by Sylvan Learning Center, the Princeton Review, etc.)
As much as I don't want to be a thorn in DS's side, I'm thinking that it's not too early to start.
Oh yeah and one more thing for singndance. Another recruiting memory popped into my head.
The company I worked for had a very specific, pretty short list of schools it recruited from. They had defined their own list of tier one and tier two schools. The list was not the same as you'd see in a list of top schools in Peterson's Guide. It was a prioritized list of schools that matched the disciplines/skill sets/demographic profile that that company was looking for. For example, since that company was in hot water because of lack of diversity in leadership, there were a few schools that were not on par with an MIT or a Stanford, but that we considered tier one because we were trying to create a feeder pool of women and minorities who could grow into leadership roles.
For tier one schools, we had relationships with the counseling/placement offices at the school, we did site visits, attended career fairs, etc. Our relationship with tier two schools was similar, but not quite as laser focused.
For tier three and below (by that company's definition) we spent ZERO recruiting effort or dollars. Kids from those schools had to come find us. This doesn't mean that a good candidate from a non top tier school couldn't get hired, but we didn't go looking for them. We channeled our resources to the schools that we thought would be the best match for what we wanted.
I say all this to say that, depending on what school your baby boy is from, he may have to take a more aggressive stance to get himself noticed by some of the bigger companies.
There is a number places in every school. The fact that students apply to more schools doesn't change the number of places, and they can't go to more than one school at a time. The only way kids get shut out is if there are fewer places or more kids.
How many years ahead is the SAT? (and what is the SAT...something similar to final exams?)
IMO, and assuming it's something like final exams, the best thing to do is make sure your familiar with all of the class material...for me, that means turning up to classes and listening. For some other people, that means studying for months beforehand.
I would say find some review sheets for the subjects DS finds easiest...do some practise exams to see what he needs to work on most. For the ones he finds difficult, maybe a seminar or a prep session is a great idea.
The frenzy to get into a good school is symptomatic of larger problems in the economy. Once upon a time, most kids did NOT go to college. The girls got married, the boys got factory jobs, and a few smartypants went to college. The manufacturing jobs went away. The girls rightly took advantage of expanding opportunities. Technology has increased productivity immensely so you don't, for example, need a room full of accountants to close the books at the end of the month. We are in a situation where there is sufficient productivity to sustain everybody, but not enough work to go around, and a few are keeping the benefits of that increased productivity for themselves.
Until the wealthiest few figure out that their buddies don't spend enough to keep their businesses going in the long term, we will see this cycle continue.
I think the admissions counselors' point was that there are only a certain number of acceptances that they can offer, and the really stellar kids are being offered those places at a greater number of institutions. So the colleges have to wait until those stellar kids getting 10+ acceptance letters make their final choice before they can offer spots to those on their wait lists. The best kids have a wide variety of choices, leaving the rest to wait it out. And they told me that some kids that would have been shoo-ins for acceptance several years ago will not make it onto the wait list today because they have seen such an increase in good quality applicants.
The oldest kid took a course at his private high school the summer before he took the SAT. He told me it was a reasonable course and that he was glad he took it. The second kid took the same course at the same school, struggled with it, and told me it was a complete waste of time. He was not a book kid, he ended up going into the Army special forces, so that's a whole different thing. The third kid took a course at his public high school the semester before he took the SAT, and reported that it was a complete waste of time. There were too many kids in the class who really weren't serious about it and were disruptive. The fourth kid signed up for a semi-private tutoring session that was about eight weeks. He moaned about it, but admitted that it was worth it. I can't comment on the offerings from the chain tutoring companies, only that some of my friends' kids took them and it was a mixed bag, depending on the kid and level of motivation.
Times have changed, as you say. I just showed up one Saturday with my pencils and slide rule and took the test. One shot, that was it. Not so today. It is dog eat dog.
And P, definitely have him take both the SAT and the ACT. My youngest aced that ACT Science section, and it increased his score dramatically.
People can take the SAT (which is a fairly comprehensive standardized exam) whenever they want, but most people take it during their junior year in high school. (11th year in Australia?) because much of the content of the test is covered in the coursework that most kids take during their freshman and sophomore years.
Most colleges and universities require the SAT and/or ACT exams before college as one more measure of college readiness. Whether the tests are an accurate measure or not is up for debate, but most post -secondary schools require them.
These tests are separate from final exams, which are aimed at certifying a kid has learned enough to graduate high school. Only some school systems in the US have have final exams. Some places call them "exit exams," btw, and they are very controversial. There was a story on NPR a couple months back about a kid (in Alabama, I think?) who was forced to repeat a math class three times despite good grades, because he failed the exit exam by a few points each time. (I don't remember all the details. I'll have to google to flesh out my memory.)
It goes back what ccm referenced a page or so back about NCLB -- an education initiative that was intended to improve the quality of education provided in US public schools, but which IMHO has had mixed results and some unintended consequences.
Short answer? Roughly two years til the real deal, with a couple of practice opportunities between now and then.
This is an increasingly common strategy, and was very much recommended by the excellent high school guidance counselor in the book I recommended upthread.
I polled my first year composition class, and quite a heavy percentage had taken both.
One other item to toss in the mix, though: an increasing number of schools are going SAT optional. It might be good to have some choices from that list in your back pocket, just in case standardized test scores don't highlight your student's strengths.
Couldn't find that story on NPR (I'm a googler and their search engine doesn't think like google lol) but the two-second summary is that some kids are getting hurt by the exit exams that many states require. Even if the kids can do the course work and get decent grades, some kids are caught in a loop of failure because of intractable standardized test requirements. *sigh*
While I was searching for that on NPR, I found this article that was posted on Thursday. Dartmouth is no longer going to accept high school AP classes for college credit. Hmm.
The thing I found most helpful prior to taking the SAT and later the GRE was to do full length practice tests, TIMED.
Two reasons:
A. There is definitely a kind of SAT-think that may not be how people think on a day-to-day basis. I remember a specific example of this from when my best friend and I were studying for the SAT analogy section (which apparently they don't have any more on the SAT, though they do on the SCAT, which Child had to take to get into her fun academic summer camp).
BEST FRIEND: There are certain kind of relationships that show up all the time on the SAT. Like if it could be part is to whole, it probably is.
ME: The problem is that sometimes the only word I'm unsure of is in the initial pair, so it's hard for me to decide which other pair is closest to it. I wish they had things like red is to black as...
BEST FRIEND (interrupting): How is red to black?
ME: They are opposites, on the checkerboard.
BEST FRIEND: Interesting. Most people would say white is the opposite of black. For the purposes of this exercise, you need to think more like other people. No being creative. You can go back to being creative the day after the test.
By the time I took the actual SAT, I had trained myself to think more like the test maker and less outside the box. Outside the box is fabulous when you are writing a scholarly paper and trying to come up with an innovative interpretation. Not good on the SAT.
2) Back when I took the GRE, there were three sections on the general exam: English, Math, Logic. (I'm told the logic has gone away.) I wound up acing the logic (got an 800!), but the first time I took a timed practice, I only got halfway through. So that told me something important!
The logic test were all these puzzles, like
"Pygmalion needs to visit seven businesses this week. She can visit no more than two in each day. She needs to visit Business C before she can visit Business D, and Business D before she can visit Business A. Business D is closed on Tuesday, and Business E is so far from the others that it needs to be the only business she visits on that day. Which of the following schedules can Pygmalion do?"
In other words, they were all puzzles that given infinite time, almost anyone logical could solve, but you had to do 25 in 30 minutes, IIRC. So for me, a key part of my prep was figuring out how to grind through the problems expeditiously.
This. There is a certain mindset to these tests. You could easily know all of the source material and still fail the test, if you don't have that mindset. I loved the analogy section of the SAT but I remember thinking at the time that many of the analogies required that you know an obscure definition of a word and/or buy into a certain shade of meaning. Once I understood how the test writer liked to use words, the analogies were a snap, because the test used words in a similar way pretty consistently.
Just FTR this is not a logic puzzle. This is my life, sister! lol
And you've lived in Texas how long?
Long enough to know how to avoid any of the in-depth technical football conversations that float around me constantly. Allowing my eyes to glaze over usually works.
I'm thinking that by the time my (yet unborn) grandkids graduate from high school, their options for education outside of this system will be radically improved. From a certain vantage point, our current educational system is utterly archaic -- like analog vs high-speed digital. There's no way it can keep up with rapid change, and with the rapid learning ability of minds that aren't forcibly slowed down by the bureaucratic red tape we put our kids through, in the name of learning. It's inefficient WRT both learning and measuring or demonstrating the value of what people know, though it's great for group indoctrination and controlling the criteria for entry to certain "clubs" and their correlating bragging rights (such as the Ivys). And the cost of "an education" has now surpassed Ridiculous threshold.
Online and independent learning, testing and certification services are going to sky-rocket in the next decade. That's the way for students to learn cost-efficiently, and to develop levels of demonstrated useable and/or rarefied knowledge far more quickly than the current system allows.
This whole SAT/grade-stress/college-entry/post-grad strategizing approach is going to go the way of the dinosaurs...at least for those who are willing to let go of tradition in lieu of an approach that wastes far less time, energy, money and lifeforce.
I can imagine two generations from now, kids will laugh when they hear of all this that causes so much angst and costs so much in time, money & stress. Or at least, I'm hopeful...
Separate names with a comma.

The City of Escondido is considering changing the municipal code to allow food trucks to operate in Escondido during special events. An informational meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. in the Mitchell Room at City Hall, 201 N. Broadway, to solicit feedback from the public about this issue.
Currently food vending vehicles that serve hot foods prepared in the vehicle are not permitted in the City of Escondido on public or private property. The City has received requests to allow them from food truck owners, special event organizers and the general public. The City also has heard concerns about the possibility of food trucks negatively impacting existing business, especially "brick and mortar" restaurants.
Following the informational meeting in November, public hearings will be held by the Planning Commission and City Council in early 2013. For more information, or to voice comments, please visit the city's website at http://www.escondido.org/food-truck-study.aspx

Jeremy Hobson: Tomorrow is one of the most important days of the month for economists. It's the day we get the monthly employment report from the labor department. We find out how many jobs were lost or gained in the previous month and what the new unemployment rate is. As of now, it's 9.6 percent. So what's next for the people behind that9.6 percent?
Let's bring in our economics correspondent Chris Farrell. Chris, welcome back to the show.
Chris Farrell: Well thank you Jeremy.
Hobson: So we're getting this big jobs number tomorrow. Where do you think the new jobs are going to be coming from, both in terms of location and industry?
Farrell: The jobs are health care, health care, and health care. Health care employment has been growing since the Great Recession and through this anemic recovery. And where are the jobs going to be? You know, they're in your major cosmopolitan cities. Cities that have education, health care, finance, information age-type businesses. This is where people want to live, and this is where the job growth has been.
Hobson: Now a lot of people who have lost their jobs in the Great Recession, whether it they be in big cities or small towns, are thinking maybe they'll get their old jobs back. Is that a realistic expectation, or are they going to have to really re-train themselves and change careers?
Farrell: I think it depends on your industry. Some industries, they're doing fine and they've just had some cutbacks; they'll be re-hiring. But so many industries today are shrinking -- media is a classic example. How about the U.S. auto industry? And if you're in that kind of an industry, you're going to have to get some education, some training. Look at your skill set and say, 'Well, O.K., can I shift over to health care? Can I shift over into government? What about temp work?' These are the kinds of things people are being forced to do.
Hobson: We had these big elections this week. Do you think that the government in the last couple of years has been making the long-term policy changes that it needs to make to prepare America for the jobs of the future?
Farrell: Absolutely not. Absolutely not. The government has been focusing on the short-term, voters are angry -- that's the message of the election, not enough has been done in terms of jobs. But in terms of the long-term job outlook, it comes down to education. But state and local governments -- they're the primary players -- they've been cutting back because of their big budget deficits.
Hobson: Marketplace economics correspondent Chris Farrell, thanks so much for joining us.
Farrell: Thanks a lot, Jeremy.

Our nation, like the rest of the world, depends on the Internet and other cyber networks for its most basic and critical functions. As individuals, we rely on these networks for banking, planning travel, and staying in touch. Businesses rely on cyber networks in myriad ways: interacting with clients, processing transactions, and reaching new markets. And our transportation, financial, energy, and communications systems — as well as our government and military — rely heavily on computer networks to function.
As the agency charged with the broad mission of protecting our nation's cyber infrastructure, systems and networks, the Department of Homeland
Security is playing a key role in boosting our nation's cyber defenses against this threat. To protect federal civilian networks — the .gov domain — we are reducing and consolidating the number of external connections federal agencies have to the Internet, thereby reducing potential avenues of attack. We are also implementing new intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, known as the EINSTEIN system, that will give us early warning of and tools against attacks so that we can mitigate their impact.
Through the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, and other programs, we are also working more closely than ever with the private sector to detect and understand threats, share knowledge, and learn from the best that the private sector has to offer. Because the private sector owns and operates so much of our nation's critical infrastructure, is critical to our well-being, and brings both expertise and commitment to the protection of our nation from cyber attack, these public-private partnerships are essential.
But we can't simply treat cybersecurity as a government or corporate issue. Part of this effort must involve working with the American people to ensure they know about the practical measures that they can take to protect themselves and their families online. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility; each and all of us must take simple steps to be safer, much as we must take simple steps in other areas of life, such as locking our doors and changing the oil in our cars.
To this end, we are asking Americans to make sure their home or business computer is secure. Take the time to install and activate a firewall for your computer. Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware software is installed and up to date.
Check your computer settings to make sure your operating system and applications are automatically updated with the most recent security fixes, that is, "patched." Practice good online habits by not visiting suspect sites, downloading suspicious documents or attachments, or opening e-mail from people you don't know. Back up your files regularly and use strong and secure passwords. And begin educating your children early about Internet safety. Your common sense will go a long way online, once you know the basic rules of the road.
Finally, we in DHS are working to build a new generation of cybersecurity professionals. Just as Americans have confronted great challenges in the past, we must focus our energy and efforts on building new national human capabilities against cyber threats.
And, like our partners, we need more of those people to join the great team we already have. In October, Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that DHS has been given expedited authority to hire up to 1,000 skilled cyber professionals over the next three years. We need our best and brightest, our finest computer scientists and engineers, mathematicians, and innovative thinkers contributing to this effort. Those interested in joining our team can find out more at www.dhs.gov/cyber.
Together, we can build a more ready and resilient nation that is more than able to succeed and prevail against cyber threats. Everyone has a role to play in meeting this shared responsibility. Thank you for doing your part.
Reitinger is deputy undersecretary of the Homeland Security Department's National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD).

WEBINAR: On-Demand
Know the Risk: Digital Transformation's Impact on Your Business-Critical Applications REGISTER >
It's reached the point where AV and spyware just don't seem able to cope with the newest threats.
The latest problem is the zero-day attack, which is an exploit that takes advantage of a software vulnerability unknown to security professionals. Because it's an unknown bug, no virus and spyware signature updates have been issued yet to thwart the malware so it penetrates deep into the enterprise, causing damage for days, if not weeks, before a fix is available.
And that's where desktop host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) come to the fore.
According to a new Forrester survey of 150 enterprise technology decision makers, HIPS is now firmly on many companies' radar screens. Lambert reports that 28 percent of respondents plan to purchase desktop HIPS this year. With a mid-2005 estimate by Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. placing market penetration around 1 percent, it's clear HIPS is picking up speed.
HomeBanc Mortgage Corp. of Atlanta is a retail mortgage company focusing on the Southeast. It selected San Mateo, Calif.-based Sana Security Inc.'s Primary Response for HIPS-level protection against worms, spyware, Trojans, keyloggers and other threats.
''Threats to today's Internet-connected business are more complex and challenging than ever,'' said Michael Ciarochi, senior security engineer at HomeBanc. ''Companies need to be armed with proactive solutions to mitigate new attacks.''
But while HIPS certainly seems to have an inside track on the proactive angle, there is a debate going on as to its precise definition.
Some think it is really just a regular network-based IPS that you regularly update with virus-like signatures of the latest attacks. Others get into advanced firewall techniques. A few vendors focus on hardening the system so attacks can't make an incursion into the application core or Windows registry. Another camp conducts a variety of system scanning techniques to detect and isolate suspicious behavior.
''There are multiple approaches to HIPS and they all have their own pros and cons,'' says Greg Shipley, chief technology officer of security consulting firm Neohapsis, Inc., which is based in Chicago. ''As the technology has yet to fully mature, there is not a current right way to do it.''
Shipley says he suspects the HIPS market will follow a similar course to that taken by the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) market a few years ago. Back around 2000 to 2001, there was a lot of debate about the best way to accomplish IDS and which technology would come out on top.
Internet Security Systems Inc. (ISS) of Atlanta had a signature-based product known as RealSecure, whereas tools, such as ManHunt (now owned by Symantec Corp. of Cupertino, Calif.) and BlackICE (now part of ISS), were more based upon protocol anomalies. So who won? Today, most successful IDS products have integrated the two models. ISS RealSecure, for example, uses both protocol anomaly and signature-based detection engines. Other vendors offer similar solutions that combine several technology elements into what is now considered standard IDS.
No such standard, however, has materialized in the HIPS arena.
''I do not believe there is an industry standard for desktop HIPS,'' says Gartner analyst John Girard. ''There just isn't one definition for comprehensive desktop HIPS.''
HIPS Elements
What elements comprise HIPS today?
The basic goal is to block inappropriate system activity. According to Pete Lind, an analyst with security consultancy Spire Security LLC of Malvern, Penn., there are a number of techniques that can be simplified as follows:
The most common activities being monitored are program executions, file system activity, registry reads/writes, and network operations.
Shipley says other key elements of HIPS are system hardening, system-call interception technology, memory firewalling, endpoint firewalls and signature-based IPS systems.
Basically, HIPS takes a variety of routes to achieving the same end -- preventing impact from an unknown threat.
When you view HIPS from the vendor perspective, expect a wide divergence in opinion about which method to implement.
Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose, Calif. assimilated promising HIPS startup Okena into what is now the Cisco Secure Agent (CSA). Cisco avoids the cumbersome signature-based approach. Instead, it makes use of a range of techniques, including protection against buffer overflow attacks, firewall capabilities and application inventorying. In particular, Cisco harnesses system calls and behavioral analysis to locate likely culprits.
''I know organizations that now have thousands of desktop nodes running CSA,'' says Shipley. ''This technology is great at stopping a wide range of attacks and buying organizations additional time to patch, but there can be a real configuration and maintenance overhead associated with this protection method.''
Like Cisco, Sana's Primary Response also avoids IPS signatures. It advocates its own brand of behavioral analysis, along with system hardening and protection against memory-based attacks.
System hardening, for instance, acts as a safeguard against some attacks, particularly those based on privilege escalation. Shipley reports, however, that hardening alone may not be enough to combat many mainstream remote buffer overflow attacks. Similarly, memory firewalling -- a term coined by Determina Inc. of Redwood City, Calif. - is good at stopping some zero-day attacks, but not others. According to Shipley, it can also create a performance hit and only prevents certain classes of attacks.
The ability to view the HIPS universe with clarity has been further obscured by a couple of upstarts that also are both firmly opposed to what they term the outmoded IPS signature model -- Trlokom Inc. of Monrovia, Calif., and PivX Solutions, Inc. of Newport Beach, Calif.
Trlokom appears to be positioning itself against Cisco. Instead of constantly scanning and analyzing every system call and every single application, it lightens the overhead load and simplifies the threat perimeter by focusing only on the avenue of attack. About 80 percent of current attacks come in via Web browser, so this startup has designed a sandbox to isolate the browser from the rest of the desktop.
PivX, meanwhile, operates differently.
Instead of having a large team of people who constantly analyze the latest attacks to develop the latest signatures for viruses and spyware, PivX points its team in the direction of locating potential exploits and devising fixes before anyone even discovers the vulnerability. This could be regarded as a hybrid form of system hardening.
Vendor Frenzy
Over the past two years, there has been a vendor frenzy to develop or acquire HIPS technology. The big security vendors are starting to roll out HIPS-point solutions, as well as all-encompassing security suites with an added HIPS element.
McAfee Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., has put HIPS functionality in with its AV and anti-spyware solutions, in what is a combo of the behavioral and signature methodologies. And Symantec is just one of the companies expected to come out with HIPS-inclusive security packages in the coming months.
Analysts say it's too early to tell what technology will prevail in this sector.
''Desktop HIPS is very immature, still evolving rapidly and so we haven't come up with an acceptable definition as yet,'' says Forrester's Lambert. ''The ultimate point we are heading toward is to prevent all zero-day attacks. No vendor is there quite yet.''

Los Angeles, CA - Man Behind Anti-Islam Film That Stoked Riots Has No Regrets
Los Angeles, CA - The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian who made the anti-Islam film that sparked protests across the Muslim world has no regrets about his insulting portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad, according to an interview with the New York Times.
In his first public comments since the 14-minute trailer for his film, "Innocence of Muslims," gained notoriety in September, Mark Basseley Youssef told the newspaper he wanted to reveal what he called "the actual truth" about Mohammad and raise awareness of the violence committed "under the sign of Allah."
The film portrayed Mohammad as a womanizer, ruthless killer and child molester. The film touched off a torrent of anti-American unrest in Arab and Muslim countries. For many Muslims, any depiction of the prophet is considered blasphemous.
In explaining his reasons for the film, he cited "atrocities" by Muslims. After a Muslim gunman killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, "I became even more upset and enraged," he said in written comments conveyed to the Times through his attorney. A Times request to interview him in person was blocked by prison authorities.
"I thought, before I wrote this script that I should burn myself in a public square to let the American people and the people of the world know this message that I believe in," said Youssef.
Youssef, a former gasoline station owner identified in some public records by his birth name, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, received a one-year prison sentence in early November for violating terms of his 2011 supervised release from prison on a bank fraud conviction. In the course of making the film, he made use of false identities and lied to his probation officer, both of which were prohibited under his probation.
As early as 2008, Youssef had completed a brief treatment for his movie, which he originally wanted to call "The First Terrorist." After going through five versions of the script, he raised $80,000 to finance the film, apparently through his second ex-wife's Egyptian family and donations from other Copts.
The shoot for "Innocence of Muslims" lasted only 15 days. Although only the film's 14-minute trailer has been released online, a feature-length movie does exist, running about one hour and 40 minutes, the newspaper said.
Some actors were under the impression that they were performing in an adventure drama called "Desert Warriors" whose villain was named George. Youssef, who worked on the film under the alias Sam Baccil, later dubbed the name Muhammad whenever an actor said George.
At least one actress has sued Youssef, claiming her image and reputation were harmed and her safety put in jeopardy, citing a religious edict she said an Egyptian cleric had issued against anyone connected with the movie. Youssef, however, has no qualms about how he handled the cast.
"They had signed contracts before they went in front of any camera, and these contracts in no way prevented changes to the script or movie," Youssef told the New York Times.

Of course Reuters is still perpetuating the idea, as if it were fact, that the video caused an uprising in the arab world. That is ridiculous. The Obama administration publicized it to cover their own tails. It was a red herring to push off the real truth till after the election. The video had nothing to do with the riots until the administration brought it to light.
Nov 27, 2012 at 09:28 AM
This guy sits in jail for a trumped up parole violation that others would never get a year for. The administration had to pretend that they were punishing the person responsible for the video that they themselves used to deceive the world. What country do we live in, I do not recognize it anymore.

Why the hell is there conflicting information regarding him? Whoever put "This is actually not a correct strat (above)." should've merely removed the incorrect information and replaced it with their own instead of leaving it there.
-Can someone confirm that Counterspell does work on his Arcane Explosion? I'm pretty sure I've counterspelled it before - the immune message is just with respect to the added silence from talents. Next time I run this place I'll make sure, but if anyone else is positive, go ahead and change that. Yaltus 09:39, 10 February 2007 (EST)
- CS does indeed work to interrupt the arcane explosion. I have tested this, and it is effective. The "Immune" message merely comes up if the mage has Improved Counterspell, as the boss is immune to the silence effect.
- Earthshock (for sure) and Shield Bash (according to our Tank) work also to interrupt arcane explosion, at least in non-heroic mode. Melaine 05:32, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
- I have edited the page to reflect this.--Wenry the mage 01:05, 12 February 2007 (EST)
request for cleanup Edit
The strategies section needs to be read through, cleaned up, and consolidated. ~~----
- Agreed, and done. -Scrotch 23:14, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
- No major changes have been made since I redid the strategy section so I removed the cleanup tag. --Scrotch 02:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Anyone tried to Ice Block through the Acrane Explosion? I was in a Pyro/Arcane Explosion race the other day and got my Pyro off, but was 2 steps short of breaking LoS and died. Could I have simply Ice blocked through the AOE/blast and survived? That would be a good strat as I did pretty good damage with my Pyro and had the DOT on him. If you have the reduced cast time on fireball (I am frost so didn't have that but was mid-cast when he started his AOE) you could get a FB off in the time it took him to cast and Ice Block through the AOE.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverwicca (talk • contr).
It seems his Arcane Blast has been tweaked recently. As of about a week ago (around 01/10/08), according to my combat log, he is immune to Counterspell. I hit CS as he started casting his AE and it didn't stop. I WAS able to ice block through it though so that is viable and if timed right (I got lucky on my first one) will last through the bolt as well effectively reducing damage to zero. Strangely, I hit him with a pyro and frost bolt at different times duringthe fight when he was casting and the log again said immune. So, from what I can tell, he is immune to basically all magic durning his AE cast. Can someone confirm? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverwicca (talk • contr).

Bogaerts begins transition back to third base
Taking over at shortstop, Drew offers encouragement to young infielder
CLEVELAND -- The return of shortstop Stephen Drew on Monday night meant that Xander Bogaerts started his first game of the season at third base.
Though Bogaerts could still be the shortstop of the future for the Red Sox, and might even play a bit there this season, he will stick with the hot corner for the time being.
"There's going to be some initial adjustment because of either one less hop or a more reactionary position," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Our approach in games with the alignment would be, at least in the short term, to have him at third base every day. When Stephen is not in the lineup, we'll have someone else at shortstop, whether that's [Jonathan] Herrera or [Brock] Holt just for a matter of continuity, at least in the first number of games with Xander at third base, just to avoid the bouncing back."
Bogaerts will try to do as much early work as possible in the coming days to reacclimate himself to a position he proved to be adept at last season.
Drew said he spoke with Bogaerts directly about the situation.
"I talked to him, just me and him," said Drew. "I was kind of in the same boat in Arizona with [Craig] Counsell there and me coming up. Basically it's going to hopefully make the team better. That's the reason why they look at it -- going back to last year, he played really well at third. It's not that he can't play short. I just think it makes the club better. We're fine. I talked to him. I know what it felt like when I was that age with Counsell. I gave him my advice there and we're on the same page."
Brock Holt, who has provided continuity in the leadoff position, will play first base until Sunday, when Mike Napoli returns from the disabled list.
When Napoli comes back, Holt could see some action in the outfield while roaming around the infield.

On the street, you cant tell reaction time and 60' time. yeah, you can say you beat an LS1 who is an average driver because maybe he spun off the line a little. thats fine. The problem is that unless you can see a time slip and actually see that he pulled 2.6-2.9 60' or see who got the jump off the line reaction time wise. YOUR experience may be that during a steet race YOU'VE noticed that the mach1's YOU have seen win the majority of the races. That is fine.

Gun activist hasn't heard from cops
A defiant libertarian activist said Monday he was aware of the strict Washington gun laws when he filmed a video of himself - now the subject of a police investigation - loading a shotgun in the middle of Freedom Plaza near the White House on July 4.
In an interview with POLITICO, Adam Kokesh acknowledged he knew of D.C.'s gun laws when he made the video, saying, "It was not an accident. I did not accidentally stumble into Freedom Plaza."
Story Continued Below
"It was my little act of civil disobedience as part of the national day of rallies we had," Kokesh said, adding that he and others demonstrators were rallying across the country on Independence Day to say Americans would be better off without the federal government.
The Washington Metropolitan Police and the U.S. Park Police have said in a statement that they were aware of the video "that appears to have been taken in Freedom Plaza in Northwest, D.C." and "are in the process of determining the authenticity of the video."
Kokesh, who hosts a radio show, said he has yet to be contacted by either Washington or U.S. Park Police about the video.
In the video, Kokesh loads a shotgun four times as he stands in the plaza with the Capitol building clearly shown behind him. "We will not be silent, we will not obey, we will not allow our government to destroy our humanity," Kokesh says as he loads the gun. "We are, the final, American, revolution. See you next Independence Day.
Kokesh had originally planned a large rally on July 4 of armed activists marching into Washington, but the protest was ultimately cancelled. Kokesh said he is planning another march for next year, but without the guns.
"What we're look to do for next year is do the same thing, just a march, a rally, but without the firearms because it was clear that was turning more people than bringing people on board," Kokesh told POLITICO.

Hitting The Nail On The Head—Lightly
Ed Durkin is a third-generation union leader, the son and grandson of steamfitters, and he has been a force in blue-collar unions for more than 20 years. But you wouldn't know it by looking at him. His crisply pressed suit is the first hint that Durkin doesn't easily fit preconceived ideas. That seems to be part of what makes him so effective as the director of corporate affairs at United Brotherhood of Carpenters, overseeing investments for the union's $40 billion pension funds. Not only has he been early to spot important corporate governance reforms and push for them, but he has also often been able to get companies to see things his way. Durkin's most recent campaign: convincing 70 corporations that their directors should be reelected by a majority of shareholders -- or resign.
Durkin has often been out in front of major corporate governance issues. "He's a thinking leader and a catalyst for reform," says Peter Gilbert, head of investments at the Pennsylvania State Employee's Retirement System. BusinessWeek writers sat down with Durkin to a mid-September lunch of crab cakes at Charlie Palmer Steak in Washington, during which Durkin dug into the issues of the day, from hedge fund activism to efforts to weaken the controversial Sarbanes-Oxley corporate governance rules.
Shareholder activists hail you as a leading investor advocate, but you're more self-critical. Why?
Workers' stock ownership is an important source of influence and power. But I don't know if we've done that good a job of using it. We've made progress, but in some ways I think we've sort of failed. Take the recent [H.J.] Heinz (HNZ ) situation. [Investor] Nelson Peltz takes a 5%, 6% position in Heinz and ends up with two people on the board. Worker pension funds in this country have trillions of dollars. I don't mean to say it should all translate into board seats, but maybe we haven't effectively utilized that to secure a greater say in the governance of these companies.
You argue that labor should be viewed as a long-term investor.
The view of shareholder activism that has won out so far is the short-term approach. But there should be a broader view. We have stock in 3,500 companies, and we have a different investment horizon [from hedge funds and other short-term investors].
In September a group of business thinkers formed to update Sarbanes-Oxley. What's your reaction?
Given the state of disarray in corporations, [SarbOx] was a good reform. Pushing back at that is problematic. Obviously there's a cost to [SarbOx]. But spending money on things has not always been a problem for boards.
Like CEO compensation, for example.
Executive pay is one of the most frustrating issues. It's like the [whack-a-mole] carnival game where you hit one and [another] pops up.
Do situations like the one at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ) make you worried that companies still aren't run properly?
You can't legislate against stupidity. We can come up with 10 examples where boards are not working, but there is greater accountability [today]. I remember Dwayne Andreas at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM ) telling me [at an annual meeting]: "Sit down. I own this microphone." You don't have much of that anymore.
Other unions are pushing for proxy access -- the chance for investors to nominate directors. Why aren't you?
It's the hedge funds that will use it. Free riding on the company's proxy is not the next best step in election reform.
You usually work with companies to get them to make changes without an annual-meeting showdown. Do other investor activists think that's too chummy?
Traditional investor activism has been narrow-minded. Shareholders want management and boards to look over both shoulders. We think that leads to a short-term approach. We've prompted more constructive reform over the past six years than any other group. The numbers show it. The labor instinct is to be combative, but it's also one of compromise.

Based on two experiences: my wife's and my own
Experience buying from Tea Forte: Positive. Website is very colorful and easy to navigate. Sent free samples after responding to an invitation on Steepster. Package came in reasonable amount of time. Other than sending my address, no e-mail or phone contact.
Age of leaf: Unknown. Steeped within weeks of receiving.
Packaging: Creative: each tea came in a silver and somewhat transparent plastic bag with five smaller "Single Steeps" packs attached to a colorful paper backing describing each tea. The tiny tea foil packs themselves are the most colorful and most professional-looking tea packages I have ever seen—with a picture of the fruit that the tea replicates prominently displayed on it.
Dry leaf: sweet smelling, reminiscent of lime and mint.
Brewing guidelines: (package states 12 oz. I used closer to 16 oz.) I used a metal basket strainer inside a ceramic 16 oz. Cup. Two steepings: 1st: boiling, 3mins. 2nd: boiling, 5 mins. (the next day). Small amount of Stevia added.
Aroma: similar to dry leaf, but not as strong.
Color of liquor: brownish looking green.
Wet leaf: << I can't remember >> : (
Flavor: Good. I did taste like a Mojito.
Value: Free sample, but their price on their website is more than I would be willing to pay if I purchased it.
Overall: We both enjoyed it. Like all the rest, it had some flavor on the second steeping, but not much. This was one of the most enjoyable of the five Single Steeps for us.

MBL Bills Pick Up Two More Co-Sponsors
Two members of Congress from California said this week they will be co-sponsors of legislation that would raise the cap on member business loans at credit unions from 12.25% of assets to as much as 27.5% of assets.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) became the 20th cosponsor of legislation sponsored by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) And Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) became the 58th cosponsor of companion legislation sponsored by Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.).
The legislation would allow eligible credit unions to increase their small business lending to 27.5% of total assets, at a rate of growth not to exceed 30% a year.
Credit unions must be well-capitalized, be at or above 80% of the current cap, have five or more years of member business lending experience and be able to demonstrate sound underwriting and servicing. If a credit union's net worth ratio falls below the well-capitalized requirement (currently 7%), it would have to stop making new business loans.
The Senate Banking Committee held a hearing on the measure last month, at which NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz endorsed the measure and said the agency would enact adequate regulatory safeguards to minimize the risks to the NCUSIF.

Breaking: Administration to Detail Foiled Iranian Terror Plot (Update: Assassination Plot on US Soil)
Live stream of the press conference here. AG Eric Holder is announcing charges against two people. More to follow.
Update: FBI Director Robert Mueller says that Iranian individuals sought to work with a drug cartel to attempt to assassinate an American official.
Update: Make that a Saudi official, on American soil. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is allegedly behind the plot. ABC News reports:
FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a "significant terrorist act in the United States" tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.
The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C.
Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials.
The stunning allegations come against a backdrop of longstanding tensions between Iran and the United States and Saudi Arabia. In the last year, Saudi Arabia has attempted to build an anti-Iran alliance to push back against perceived aggression by Iran in the region.
The Iranian-American, identified by federal officials as Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, reportedly claimed he was being "directed by high-ranking members of the Iranian government," including a cousin who was "a member of the Iranian army but did not wear a uniform," according to a person briefed on the details of the case. Counter-terrorism officials said they believe the cousin may be part of the special operations unit of the Revolutionary Guard, the Quds force.
Arbabsiar and a second man, Gohlam Shakuri, an Iranian official, were named in a five-count criminal complaint filed Tuesday afternoon in federal court in New York. They were charged with conspiracy to kill a foreign official and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, a bomb, among other counts.
The complaint also refers to another Iranian official but does not name him.
Update: In the presser, US officials repeatedly said that they would "hold Iran accountable" for this plot, which includes elements of the Quds force, but when pressed by a reporter's question, AG Holder did not specify what holding Iran accountable will mean.
Update: It's interesting that the charges are being brought in New York. The plot action seems to have mostly taken place in Texas, with the would-be assassin meeting with DEA agents posing as Zeta drug cartel operatives. Is New York an operational or political choice? And what does the Zeta role say about Texans' desire border security, which has been openly mocked by the president?
Update: Not to put too fine a point on things, but this was a cross-border terror attack in the making. Some of us have warned about this possibility for years, with the rise of the Mexican drug cartels and the encroachment of Hizballah into Mexico serving to heighten concern. Contrary to FBI Director Mueller's statement today, that national borders have become "increasingly irrelevant," such borders are more relevant than ever. Open borders are an invitation to lawlessness and mass murder.
Update: Like Ace, I'm not one to question the timing. But I do have a question or two about Eric Holder.
Why is that Eric Holder knows absolutely nothing about covert operations that end in disaster, but is presenting himself as a details guy in a covert operation that ended successfully?
Kind of convenient that he's involved in the successes, but cannot for the life of him even remember the mere existence of operations gone awry.

Ever sprayed too much perfume? Yes! How about how to make the fragrance linger longer? Really cool tips. Read on….
So you were heavy-handed on the perfume? Here's what you can do…use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball over the area. Just dab the area with alcohol to dilute the solution and make it evaporate.
But here are a few tips on how make your perfume last longer!
Spray your hair is one, and I have done this. It works because your hair is more porous.
Another tip is to spray the hem of your dress. I've never tried this, but it works because the fragrance rises through your body and moves when you walk.
Get to it, girls!

MEGADETH's video for the new version of the song "A Tout Le Monde", now retitled "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", is available for viewing at Megadeth.com."A Tout Le Monde", which originally appeared on the 1994 CD "Youthanasia", has created controversy because the song was cited in an online post by Dawson College killer Kimveer Gill as one of his favorites before his Montreal shooting spree last September. MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine contends that he wanted to give the song a second shot at success, as the original video for it had been banned by MTV, and most radio stations followed suit. The track ended up featuring Cristina Scabbia from Italian alt-metal act LACUNA COIL. "The first singer didn't work out," Mustaine told Straight.com, "the second one didn't work, and the third one was Lisa Marie Presley. She was on the way to the airport, and we had to call and say, 'Sorry, we changed our minds.' I would have loved to have heard what Lisa Marie Presley would have done, but because of the demographics of the LACUNA COIL fan base, and Cristina's reign in the heavy-metal business, it was the right thing to do." A video clip of Cristina Scabbia talking about the video shoot for "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", which took place March 8-9 in Los Angeles, has been posted online at this location. Commented Cristina: "[Dave Mustaine] actually asked me to be part of this duet, and I was really surprised about it because 'A Tout Le Monde' is a song that I've always loved, even if it's not like the new [version] because [the original song] [was released on] the album 'Youthanasia'. It was a big surprise for me to get this invitation — I was really honored to be part of it. And seriously, when I heard the final result, I was awesomely surprised 'cause I think that the two voices are fitting incredibly [well together]. I think that the version of 'A Tout le Monde' 2007 has a stronger attitude. If the original version was for the mellow mood, this one is way more rock, way more powerful. I totally love it. I was surprised myself, and I think that a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised. "It was recorded, like an hour from Birgmingham [England]. So I flew in and recorded my parts with Andy Sneap [producer]. He's [Andy] an amazing guy — super professional — and the atmosphere in the studio was so relaxed. It was like a family vibe, and I think that's the most amazing thing when you have to work. You can work and still smile, you know, and be relaxed. "I tracked the entire song because we weren't really sure what we had to do, so we just wanted to be totally sure, so we recorded all the parts that Dave sung with some improvisation with it, double vocals. We basically made anything possible, so they could pick up whatever they wanted to." "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)" will appear on MEGADETH's new album, "United Abominations", due on May 15 via Roadrunner Records.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Persephone Elysia Willow- I love Elysia, but not Persephone as much. I'm also not a fan of two middle names. That said, saying that name outloud, it is just beautiful... It's musical and flows and just sounds like the name of a beautiful little girl.
Silvana Xiomara Mist- I like these names individually, but not together. Xiomara is a GP of mine... (the fiance just laughs at me)
I like Persephone Elysia Willow better... It's just so pretty to say...

I looove Persephone Elysia Willow!!! So beautiful, every single syllable. Sylvana Xiomara Mist is nice too, but seems a bit overdone. It's quite pretty though, but Persephone Elysia Willow definitely takes my heart.A writer and a student. Just another berry, probably under-ripe.

I agree with Mischa, Silvana Xiomara Mist is rather repetitive, but I adore Mist! Such a beautiful name with wonderful mythological connections, I'm in awe! ^^
Sylvestra Zenobia/Zenovia Mist would be better, but perhaps not as mellifluous...
Persephone and Elysia are also favourites, and I like everything about Willow except for how popular she is.
Mixing my own combo from the names in your signature, Elysia Zephyrine Mist is where I end up. Maybe Persephone Sylvana Signe although I'm not too fond of Sylvana.
I've loved Mist for a while, but it has to be a GP since Mist is just one letter away from the Norwegian word 'miste' which means to drop or lose something. I'm not sure my parents would appreciate it, although I know they'd let me decide...
I'm clinging to Disa, Liva, Unna, Alda, Tida, Tora, Erla, Lova, Eisa, Eira, Fryd and Duva though!Åshild | lover of books & baked goods

" Manufacturer: Britax / Child Car Seats "
Britax Evolva 123 comes in many colours and designs. I am going to review the Olivia version.
We bought this just before Christmas 2010 on a visit to Mothercare. While there we discovered many different models with differnt functions and prices. What I find really annoying about Mothercare is the labels don't tell you enough information if any at all. This means you have to track down the nearest free shop assistant , and you can guarantee their always busy. I already had my eye on this chair because of its complete girlyness.So we went for the kill and got the car seat lady to check it in the car. She could tell us the features later. We have a very small 3 door Ford so it was essential to check the size.It fit perfectly and we loved all the features. However we did not love the price. It cost £126.00 which is about average for a car seat, but we didn't need it straight away, so we went home and researched online. They where exactly the same price so we went back the week after. And amazingly it had gone down to £80!So we bought it there and then.
I was so pleased at my purchase as I like things that are a bit unique and different. Alot of car seats are your usual black and grey, but this is different.It has two designs of material. The outer edges , and head rest are a fabulously girly pink with a white flowery pattern type design printed on. The inner material where the child actually sits is made of blue soft denim. This looks and feels lovely however its softness is its biggest flaw. The seat has only been used for 7 months everday at the most and the place where my babies arms go has gone all bobbly. The chair is supposed to last until 12 years old so I have to say I am very dissapointed about this and wonder how long it will last. I am thinking of making some kind off protecter for it. Apart from that the chair looks quite chunky, protective and ever so comfortable.
The seat has many fantastic features. When your child is still small you use the inbuilt seat belt , when they are to big for them its time to use the adult seat belt already in the car. There special red guides for this that are inbuilt for the seat belt to go through. We're only up to using the baby seat belt at the moment which is easily adjusted using the pully and release button at the bottom of the seat. The seat belt makes and loud clicking noise when securley fastened which is very very helpful.To undo the seat bealt just press the large red button.
On each armrest there is a small piece of rubber with a hole in. This is to hold the seat belts while you seat the child, which stops messing around trying to find the belt your child is sitting on. At the moment I can't take advantage of this as my child is quite small and the belts aren't long enough yet to reach.
Under each arm rest is a pull out cup holder which I can imagine will be great for long car journeys.
There is a large padded headrest which is easily adjustable and grows with your child until on average 12 years or 35KG. I think this is fantastic for the price. However I don't know if it will last that long. And I pray that my daughter dosn't decide to hate pink.
We got the lady at Mothercare to fit the car seat so we didn't remove the labels that where attachted to the seat.
When I got home I had a look to see what they said and if there was a description or instructions. But there weren't. I don't know if it was supposed to come with instructions or the lady forgot to give them to us , so it's just a case of remembering how to fit the seat.
Overall lovely looking , many practical useful features, well worth the money even at £126. Lasts 12 years. Only negative is the bobbling of the denim material.If anyone has any tips on fixing this problem please leave a comment.
I always read lots of reviews before I buy and must admit I seemed to have missed the downsides on this one. It was purchased to go in my husbands mondeo. This is a large family car so I assumed it would fit no problem. If you have the seat fitted with no recline it fits fine. However unlike other car seats I have had which recline this does not slide on the base there is a bar underneath which you flip forward. whilst reclining the seat this also makes the back on the seat at the bottom move away from the actual car seating. This makes it incredibly difficlut to get the seatbelt through properly.
It is also not as padded as I would like it to be. Although it does have side imapt protection if they did bang their head on the headrest whilst it may protect them from very serious injury I think they could still be injured as it is very hard. My son cried for weeks when I took him out of his Graco junior mini when his younger brother was born and put him into this. It is no where near as comfortable and alhtough it is technically from 9 months plus I would not recommend it for a child under the age of 2 or 3.
On the plus side my son is now 4 and still easily fits into the 5 point harness and I will be securing him in the car seat this way as long as possible.
I got this seat to go in my Clio, I have had it in the back seat and in the front seat.
I find the seat is OK, it is relatively easy to fit, but you do need a bit of muscle to get the seat belt strapped through it tight enough. Also threading through the seat belt around the back of the seat is a little fiddly. We have oly used it the baby mode so far but the head rest moves and widens to fit children up to approximately 11 years old.
It has 2 cup holders on the sides, however, I don't think we will be using those till our little girl is a bit bigger as cups with handles don't fit.
One thing I do like about this seat is the padded shoulder straps on the 5 point harness, and the fact that the adjuster for the straps is simple to use at the front of the seat.
However, the recline option is a bit rubbish, you have to set it when you fit it so can't adust it as needed. Also even when you fit it reclined it isn't reclined very far and my daughter ends up rolled forwards in the seat, when we went on a long trip recently I ended up putting the seat in the front of the car and reclinging the front seat alittle so the seat sat back further so my daughter could sleep more comfortably laid back a bit.
I am not sure how durable the seat is going to be to possibly last another 10 ish years though - however, the age range would be good for grandparents who have different aged grandchildren as they would only need one seat and could switch it for different aged grandchildren.
Overall I do prefer the Britax Duo Plus we have in our other car and wish I had spent the little extra to get another the same but I feel this is safe enough so can't justify changing it.
I am a car seat tester. Be careful with this car seat and get it tested before you buy it, common problems are buckle crunching (which is when your car seat buckle is too high on the child seat. this can be extremely dangerous as it can stop the child seat being pulled tight enough and it could mean that your buckle could shatter i an accident therefore making it worthless) The reason being is because it has siuch a low base. Seatbelt length is another commn problem with this car seat because of the way the seatbelt threads through. The shape of your car seat will also determine whether it will fit securly enough in your car. be aware of all these group 123 car seats although if you have to buy one definatly go for this one as apposed to a cheaper one. Always get it TESTED BEFORE YOU BUY IT!!!!
Convenient pull out drink holder and snack tray for refreshments on long journeys. Ideal for planning ahead, the Evolva 123 offers great design features and superb comfort. An innovative, ergonomically exceptional seat, the Evolva 123 Ultra adapts to meet the needs of your growing child. From 15kg to 36kg the adjustable head support grows with your child. For children 15kg to 36kg the harness is stowed and the belt guides position the adult belt comfortably and safely over your child. The large rounded headrest, as well as offering protection in the event of a side impact collision, provides extra comfort for your sleeping child.

Great for metallic paint
July 29, 2014
I bought this glaze for my light colored vehicles (bright white and desert mist metallic), and although I haven't yet had the chance to use it on them, I did use it on a vehicle with British Racing Green metallic paint. Really brought out the flakes and did a pretty good job of filling in micro-marring.
Pros:Can be worked in direct sunlight. Not restricted to lighter colored vehicles.
Cons:There is a learning curve when working it with a DA buffer.

This product went on smooth and easy. Removal was a breeze. What I was left with was a bright, flake popping gem. I used it on a darker red truck, which made my paint sparkle.
Pros:Price, works as stated and then some.

Used this White Diamond Show Glaze on my new Silver Dodge Challenger to help bring out and give pop to the metal flakes in the paint. Used a grey pad with my PC. Indeed it did! Easy to put on and take off. White Diamond has now now replaced my old Menzerna Show Glaze.

Easy to use
April 19, 2012
If you have some fine swirls and dont want to do a full correction this works well. I use it with a white LC pad. It deep cleans the paint, fills and the pad will remove minor swirls. Your are left with a glossy clean base to apply your LSP.
Pros:Low dusting Cleans Fills minor swirls Smell

So I do love the suggestions of double meaning! Vera Clementine is beautiful, but I would want "V-eh-ra" vs. Veer-a, which might annoy me!
I was on the Behind the Names website and came across Beatrix (from late roman Viatrix, which means "voyager or traveler" (so a little different than Beatrice which means blessed, but still a great meaning!).
And then there is the Catalan version of Beatrix:
So I was thinking:
Beatriu Mercy
It has the "true" sound in it, and it sort of puritan sounding virtuous sentence of Traveling Mercy...but I always second guess myselfNo Reserves. No Retreats. No Regrets.
