Belberry artisanal vinegars are produced in small-batches and infused with all-natural ingredients without the use of additives or coloring, resulting in a fresh, deliciously balanced fruit vinegar. Belberry's Fresh Lime Vinegar is delightfully fresh and tart and is perfect for citrus salads, grilled fish skewers, marinades and even for livening cocktails. Mix the vinegar with some extra virgin olive oil for a truly special organoleptic experience.
Ingredients: Vinegar 8, lime 40%, sugar, lemon juice, pectine.
The history of Belberry began in 1956, when Andr̩ Vandererfven acquired a small grocery store that existed since the late 19th century in the West-Flemish city of Kortrijk where he started with the home-made production of preserves for the local market. Today the family-owned business continues to make small-batch, artisanal fruit jams and fruit-infused vinegars that are prized by international gourmet retailers and is the official supplier to the Royal Family of Belgium.


text: Obituary Frederick Keck was born near Nashville, Thenn., December 31, 1828 and departed this life near Witter, Ark. on Tuesday, January 17, 1911, aged 82 years and 16 days. In 1884 he married Miss Mary P. Shopner and to this union there were born two children. Emigrating to Arkansas in 1855, he located in this county. Four years later his wife died and a year or more later he again married. This time his wife was Miss Millie Driver and to them were born ten children. His twelve children all lived to reach their majorities when four sons and one daughter were called away to be followed by his second wife in 1896. Seven children, 37 grand-children and 37 great grand-children survive him. He professed his hope in Christ at an early age and became a member of the Regular Baptist Church, of which he remained a faithful member until his death. His Bible was his constant companion and he tried to live up to its teachings. He had the unique distinction of having never been in a court house while court was in session, never had a law suit or attended a trial in a justice's court. His last illness was of about three years duration and his suffering at times was severe. Up however until two or three weeks before his death he was able to sit in his chair and read his Bible. The end came peaceful and like one going to sleep he passed away. Interment was made in the Smith Cemetery beside the body of his first wife, funeral services having been preached by Rev. Will Harris. It was sad for us to have to part with him but we feel that he has only gone to the home which he striving so hard to reach. And we believe that if we remain steadfastly faithful to the end, we will meet him in that beautiful home above. A Grandchild

Now that Tiger Woods has gone into hiding and there's only so many stories a human being can run about Phil Mickelson's new high-fat, carb only diet – Hall of Fame broadcaster and apparent boy band enthusiast Jim Nantz decided to spend some time on the Don Imus radio show this week gushing about the Jonas Brothers and defending his masculinity.
"They're great; I saw them four times in concert last year. I did, I did! And I got to meet them, Joe and Kevin and Nick. These guys are going to be the biggest thing since the Beatles," Nantz said on air in a shockingly serious and non-alcohol induced voice.
Imus, however, disagreed and questioned whether or not Nantz had a functioning male genetalia, or if he simply enjoyed listening to teeny bop melodies while waxing his eyebrows in the morning.
"Why are you [Imus] questioning my manhood?" Nantz asked. "Because I think the Jonas brothers are a great act? Why wouldn't I go to a Jonas Brothers concert? I recognize talent. By the fourth time I knew all the lyrics to their songs, they're great," Nantz said while possibly watching an episode of Hannah Montana in the backgroud.
Granted, I keep a steady rotation of Dwight Yokam and Tragically Hip records in my car, so I'm not so sure how highly regarded my musical opinions may be, but this seems wrong, right? The guy turns 50 this year and has attended multiple Jonas Brothers concerts.

Utah Jazz: C.J. Miles fouled Kevin Durant according to the NBA
Not KarlApril 8, 2010 11:18 p.m.
I refuse to believe that an NBA official missed a call.
Double Standards in the NBAApril 8, 2010 4:42 p.m.
If the players and coaches can't comment on the refs performance than neither should the NBA front office. What is good for the goose should be good enough for the gantner. What ever that means!
CBApril 8, 2010 3:52 p.m.
Follow the money! That's what important to the NBA.
Got to put on a good show and that is determined
by where the draw is. I lost my innocence with the NBA several years ago when it was obvious they had their 'protected ones' and the Refs seemed to be 'blind' to certain aggressive players.
IdahoanApril 8, 2010 2:48 p.m.
Way to de-legitimize a win NBA.
Why now?April 8, 2010 1:51 p.m.
What this really means is that the nba wants everyone to know that Kevin Durrant is their new poster boy, and refs should continue to protect him like they did Dwane Wade in the finals against Dallas.
I thought...April 8, 2010 1:29 p.m.
it was an overacting job at mid court.
TheWizApril 8, 2010 1:08 p.m.
While, as a Jazz fan, this should have been called, what about New Year's Eve 2009? There was a call on Paul Millsap that cost the Jazz the game. If we're complaining about about Durant being fouled on the last play, why didn't we hear about Millsap?
I don't like to throw around the "Everyone hates Utah" idea, but why didn't we hear JA Adande (sp?) say anything about the phantom Millsap foul on New Year's Eve?
If the NBA even THINKS about replaying this (somehow, as Utah and OKC won't be playing again until at least the playoffs), then they should seriously consider taking back the New Year's Eve game; only under that condition would it be fair. Either that, or we let each game stand as is.
SoApril 8, 2010 1:00 p.m.
By the same standard there are lots of fouls that are not called during the game.
I guess it only matters and is worth discussing because it happens at the end of the game vs. during?
What a pile of hypocrisy the NBA is.
Me, Myself and IApril 8, 2010 12:59 p.m.
Why would the NBA make this statement/correction? All it does is make them look worse than we already knew they were. The officials are horrible and give calls to star players all the time. If Durant was fouled then Jordan's game 6 push off on Bryon Russell was a foul too. They didn't come out then and correct themselves because a championship was decided by it. David Stern wake up...you're not as smart as you think you are. People see right through your smug arrogant facade to what you truly are, Tim Donaghy's role model, you've fixed many more games as commissioner than that poor scapegoat ever did as a ref.
Adding to What Foul!April 8, 2010 12:50 p.m.
I totally agree with the red flags and instant replay review:)
How about the NBA hiring a couple of former referees or just avid fans to review game films of each and every game and then submit the missed calls or no calls to the league which could then issue a statement each day of the calls that were wrong. Scores could be kept for each referee and we could even bet on how many they'd each have for any given game.
This would certainly provide fodder for us bloggers and make the game much funner to dissect and Vegas oddsmakers would have more things to handicap.
RE: KJApril 8, 2010 10:50 a.m.
The difference is the NBA would not make a statement about it. sure fans would be mad but you wouldn't hear a peep out of the NBA and I think that is what most posters are upset about.
grouchyoldncjazzfanApril 8, 2010 9:55 a.m.
Here we go folks. First step to instant replay in the nba. Sad, so sad.
What Foul!April 8, 2010 9:32 a.m.
I think they should impliment instant replay and give the coaches red flags to throw on the court except at the last two minute of each quarter where the referees will review every play. The game will last four hours and people will get more for their money. Games tied at the end of regulation should go to a free throw shoot out.
Jazz CopApril 8, 2010 9:19 a.m.
Wheres the statement on carmelo laying on the floor as if injured? This is not how you play basketball, its an attack at every fan who watched that game, it mars professionalism, it mars the game. By letting this go, the nba allows itself to be mared.
It doesn't hesitate to issue a statement, basically nullifying a jazz win, but it allows carmelo to act like hes in kindgergarten. melo is not as good as durant, get over it melo, if that hit knocked the wind out of you, you are a wimp and you lose all my respect, if you are laying on the ground and faking an injury, again, there is not only reason to not respect you, there is reason to despise you, yet, the nba does nothing, no investigation, no suspension, what?
All the bad callsApril 8, 2010 8:28 a.m.
What a stupid move by the NBA. If they're going to make a statement like this, then they need to be consistent and make a public statement on all bad calls. Where's the statement on the foul (assault) on Deron Williams when he tried to dunk and was body slammed? Where's the statement on the call on CJ Miles seconds earlier that clearly was not a foul? Basically, the NBA should have just come out and said this was the worst officiated game in decades. What a ridiculous thing for the NBA to do. They just keep giving me more reasons not to watch NBA games.
AnonymousApril 8, 2010 7:51 a.m.
Lakers Coach Jackson fined $35000 by the league for criticizing refes. Who will fined the NBA for them criticizing the refes. They didn't change the outcome of the game. So why make a statement about the last play of the game.
You made a good call ref.
nbaApril 8, 2010 7:36 a.m.
should be fined for talking about the ref. phil jackson was just fined 35.000 for talking about bad calles. what is the differance? there were bad calls the whole game every game. i dont get it. guess they think durrant is the face of the nba so they give him his personel press release? i stopped watching baskett ball for 10 years because of the calls jordon got it was sickening to watch a game. its about that bad now with kolby starting with durrant. you can average a lot of points a game if you go to the foul line 15 times a game. they need to call it the same for every player from kolby to the rookie.
AnonymousApril 8, 2010 6:35 a.m.
Whatever the case, the NBA has the worst refs in the world. I can't tell if the are lazy, if they are corrupt, or if they are incompetent. I lean towards corruption and that the outcome of games are influenced and special players get special attention.
Jazz CopApril 8, 2010 3:49 a.m.
I know this isn't related to the miles no foul call, but if the nba is going to issue a statement on this, and then do nothing to what carmelo pulled in okc last night, then i'm a pretty upset fan of the nba. I'm shocked they'd make a statement on this foul call, now I'll wait to see if they do anything about carmelo who is a weirdo, laying on the floor as if injured. If the nba is going to pose as if they are legitimate, then they should investigate these antics of carmelo and issue a statement, followed by a suspension, unbelievable. there should be an apology for subjecting nba fans to players like carmelo, i have no desire watching this ultimate fake, i'll watch durant, and i'll be happy even if he beats the jazz, because i respect him and his game is pretty good. this is why i can't stand seeing denver win, smith, carmelo, these are a couple of the worst characters in the league, and the nba seems to promote this team, i'm sickened to my stomach.
josembApril 8, 2010 2:32 a.m.
i find it hard to accept when a call or no call goes against my team, especially if it could've altered the out come of the game. remember Jordan's push off against bryon russel in an NBA Finals game? but, the referees have a job to do. and i think they do a good job. they make mistakes but that's because they are humans. they are, in fact, paid to give judgement calls--or no calls--during the game. a foul call is a judgement call. the referre calls it the way he judges it to be. that's how it goes. otherwise, we should just remove the refs from the game and just replay every foul, travelling, error, and other things going on in the court. and that would be really stupid. i think a foul or no foul--unless a flagrant one--should never be subjected to an opinion by the NBA officials unless they want to reverse it. why comment on something that's over and done with? what's the point? they would just be undermining a ref's authority on the game the next time that ref officiates a game.
The Jazz also beat the Bulls!April 8, 2010 1:39 a.m.
Wonderful NBA, Now I officially petition for you to re-review the JAZZ vs BULLS NBA finals to tell all the fans that Jordan pushed off on the game winning shot (not to mention dozens of phantom calls that sent him to the line for numerous freebies) and that the Jazz really should have won the finals!
Why did the NBA not want to get That blatant truth off their chests also? :)
Re: J.R.April 7, 2010 11:19 p.m.
It sounds like it's the other people whining. The Jazz finally got a break. Even then, the foul was miniscule.
Re: J.R.April 7, 2010 11:06 p.m.
Amen to that!!!!
J.R.April 7, 2010 10:45 p.m.
JAZZ FANS = Leagues biggest whiners......
okc players and nba criersApril 7, 2010 10:33 p.m.
refs didnt call a foul so there was no foul. simiple as that. quit crying
Weighing inApril 7, 2010 10:32 p.m.
"And Michael Jordan DID push off on Bryan Russell."
GoodGuyGaryApril 7, 2010 10:24 p.m.
"Human error is part of the game." from a wise NBA coach.
unbelievableApril 7, 2010 10:14 p.m.
the ref didn't see it therefore there was no foul. like the 2002 western conf finals with kings vs lakers; kobe elbowed bibby and kobe stumbled. bibby went down with an injury but the refs "claimed" they didn't have the right angle to see it. So, from that standpoint if the ref didn't see it it was no foul. How would it feel if a game you worked so hard to win ends up in a win and people who sit in armchairs "declares" a foul?? If it were the other way around people would say "don't blame the refs"...
What a joy.....April 7, 2010 10:08 p.m.
to have watched such a sweet and unoffensive ending to a great game. that light touch on the final shot was of course, the work of an excellent defensive Jazzman. If it was a foul, it certainly was a gentlemans foul....Go Jazz
CathieApril 7, 2010 9:44 p.m.
I agree with most of the above comments an add that players like Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Duncan an now Durant get alot of calls that should be non-calls how else do they get their scores built up. lol There were so many calls against the Jazz I didnt hear thunder complain abt them. Jazz usually have to take those calls an use as incentive. Jazz earn their wins with team cohesiveness. Go Jazz!!!!!
KJApril 7, 2010 9:28 p.m.
Change the end result to D-Will getting hacked on a three at the end of the game and it doesn't get called. How many Jazz fans would be saying what they're saying now, "bad calls happen throughout the game, that's what happens...blah, blah, blah." My guess is that zero Jazz fans would be playing the "happens to everyone" card had their guy been the one to get hacked on the lost shot.
AnonymousApril 7, 2010 8:43 p.m.
If it were any of the Jazz players instead of Kevin Durrant, would the NBA still come out and say the officials blew the call? I DON'T THINK SO.
KlhinCCApril 7, 2010 8:09 p.m.
Did the official say the jazz should have won the championship game because Jordan pushed off? Bunch of OVERPAID BABIES! Wouldn't it be interesting if they went to work the next day and were told by a H.R. Representative that the nba is closing its doors. Could you ball players make a living if the nba fell apart? Oh wait the Prez would bail out the nba.
Now it's even.April 7, 2010 7:49 p.m.
Back on new year's eve, the Jazz were up one with a few seconds left, Oklahoma City missed a shot, Millsap cleanly rebounded it, and the refs called a phantom foul on Millsap giving Oklahoma City two free throws, which they made, for the win.
So Oklahoma City got the call on that game, and the Jazz got the no call last night. Now it's even.
Ok, okApril 7, 2010 7:42 p.m.
It was a foul. A small one, but still a foul. I would be upset if this was just one of many fouls called in favor of the Jazz. However, it wasn't. In fact, had there been fewer bad calls, the Jazz would have won in regulation. The refs brought it to overtime and good thing they didn't destroy yet another game for the Jazz. The Jazz are usually not favored by the Jazz, so receiving special treatment is a rare treat.
I just watched "Michael Jordan's Final Shot" on youtube. That was way, way worse than the brush of wrists last night. Where's the NBA announcement on that?
DuhApril 7, 2010 7:41 p.m.
So by making a statement do we put the two teams together and replay the last second? What a bunch of Morons. Never called on Superstars though are they Michael Jordan!
ChuckApril 7, 2010 7:39 p.m.
Just for kicks, I thought I'd play the video of the last shot and blow it up large. Going through frame by frame, I see why the refs did not call a foul. The most telling frame is the first contact by Miles. His hand is clearly on the ball. The next two frames show Durrant throwing his arms wildly to the side to "draw a foul". Homer? No. After first having contact with the ball (generally called a block) there was contact. This no-call does not deserve all the attention. First came a good block.
jakeApril 7, 2010 7:21 p.m.
I totally agree it was a foul. but when was the last you saw an official make a call like that at the end of a game? how many times have we seen Kobe pushing off the get a open game winner? (lakers vs kings) is one example. look at the NCAA championship game, if you look at the screen on that last play, he set a big time illegal screen, but refs will always let the game play out when it comes to the last play.
Column, or sporting news brief?April 7, 2010 7:15 p.m.
Buckley sez:
"The NBA suggested as much Wednesday, when it released a statement on the no-call of Jazz swingman C.J. Miles' obvious foul on Oklahoma City All-Star Kevin Durant in the final second of Utah's 140-139 overtime home win over the Thunder on Tuesday night."
"obvious foul"? Wow. That's bold stuff. I thought reporting was supposed to be objective, unless of course you are writing a personal column or blog, which this appears to be neither.
what else is new?April 7, 2010 7:09 p.m.
so durantula's entourage gets all weepy watching the re-runs in slo-mo ad nauseum on sportscenter, hearing all the mitchy boney tweets, seeing all the clever and vitriolic smacktalk on myface threads and forums and they go wailing and whining to lodge a complaint all the way to the n-b-a.
cry me a river, OKC/KD. scoreboard. scoreboard.
hey, go watch the masters for some drama.
From the replayApril 7, 2010 7:06 p.m.
It didn't look like a foul. Miles had to come from the side, and in the upper body there was no contact. It was close, but not a touch. If anything, Durant made Miles "foul" him.
BiasApril 7, 2010 7:01 p.m.
I agree with many of the other comments, if the NBA makes a statement on this foul, it has to be done to other fouls. The foul call on Paul Millsap in OKC sure didn't generate any attention and that too was at the end of the game.
In BriefApril 7, 2010 6:40 p.m.

everything happens for a reason..I think the block came first before the contact in the hand, if you saw how Durant shoot the ball he was extending his legs always, Miles came from the side so definitely there will be contact, actually Durant should be charge with an offensive foul because of his legs extending making the defender to commit a foul
LayneApril 7, 2010 6:02 p.m.
Why doesn't the NBA come out all the time when that stuff happens. Why only when it involves a superstar. It definitely didn't look foul to me!!
EugeneApril 7, 2010 5:38 p.m.
The NBA just perpetuated the problem by coming out like this on a single play. Why not comment on all non-calls in a game? Why not comment on the called fouls that weren't fouls at all!
Dumb move, NBA! But that is why you are in the office and not playing or officiating on the floor. You are simply back seat drivers making a after-the-fact comment that doesn't change that the officals let it go and the Jazzmen won.
Go Jazz!
RudyApril 7, 2010 5:27 p.m.
I think the NBA officiating is a joke. There are so many no calls or anticipation calls it is frustrating to watch the games. It seems whenever we play L.A Lakers Kobe seems to get the calls in his favor. I feel there is alot of favortism with some of the refs and the guy furthest away from the ball is calling the shots. And it is not just the Jazz that are getting shafted, I`ve seen it at other NBA games. The refs are consistently inconsistent.
RichApril 7, 2010 5:08 p.m.
To make things fair the Jazz should give home court advantage to Oklahoma City during the playoffs.
Seriously I think TV announcers who call for referees not to interfere at the ends of games, arguing that the players should be allowed to determine the outcome of the game, are idiots. Non-calls are just as important as bad calls during a game and particularly in the last few seconds. I think referees should be consistent, calling fouls anytime there is enough contact that it forces a player to lose the ball or miss a shot. I frankly was sickened by the amount of physical contact allowed during the NCAA playoffs. Defenders were allowed to knock dribblers sideways many times, and even when the ball was lost, many non-calls permitted the offending team to take possession of the ball. On the other hand, I think the NBA is doing a better job this year than any year in recent memory of regulating the officiating in games. It used to be that the star player got the call the vast majority of the time in close situations. Jordan got away with traveling, palming and offensive fouls at will.
Why?April 7, 2010 5:08 p.m.
why would the NBA make a statement, saying that the officials missed a call. I think its just dumb because NBA players can't say a word about officials or they are fined. I also think that its hard to tell if CJ Miles did in fact foul Durant. It does kind of look like Miles may have blocked the ball. If it was a foul, i don't think it was that noticable. Those types of fouls go unnoticted or uncalled all the time in the NBA
anonymousApril 7, 2010 5:06 p.m.
If the NBA is making statements on fouls, I wish they would of started when Michael Jordan pushed Brian Russell out of the way to win the championship. Win some you lose some.
Hmm..April 7, 2010 5:04 p.m.
Since when did the NBA start reviewing plays and issuing statements as to whether the plays in question were fouls or not? Maybe they will start printing that with the boz scores: how many no-calls there were. Wow. What a stupid thing. Kevin Durant is just crying because he isn't getting babied as much as Kobe yet. Must be a hard life. Play basketball and get paid millions for it. Some people are never happy with anything.
IdahoanApril 7, 2010 5:02 p.m.
Refs are intimidated at Energy Solutions Arena? I opine that they are probably more intimidated at the Staples Center. I would guess that intimidation has to do with the players (stars) involved, not the court or arena. I will grant that there are exceptions: LA, New York, any other place that has lots of celebrities in attendance, particularly courtside.
The replay does appear to show a foul on the last shot. I didn't see the whole game, only some of overtime. I don't know about all that happened. However, I did see a foul giving Durant free throws that was a bad call. Maybe the bad call and the no call cancel out each other?
They're probably right...April 7, 2010 4:54 p.m.
...but I obviously don't follow sports closely enough, because I don't ever remember a statement like that from the NBA. Usually it's the opposite.
For example, if it had been the Thunder's coach
complaining about the ref'ing, he would probably be reprimanded by the NBA.
So why does the NBA take the unusual step of criticizing it's own officiating?
AnonymousApril 7, 2010 4:53 p.m.
How bout when Deron got tackled going up for a dunk
WowApril 7, 2010 4:52 p.m.
Yeah it was a foul, but in an average NBA game, how many fouls are missed? Even in important situations, it seems like there are missed calls (fouls, traveling, etc) on a pretty regular basis. But for the NBA to come that quickly to the defense of one of its stars... come on!
I love Durant's game, but if Serge Ibaka takes that last shot for the Thunder last night, you wouldn't hear a peep out of the league office. That's the one thing absolutely wrong with the NBA--2 sets of rules, one for stars and one for everyone else.
mattyjoApril 7, 2010 4:52 p.m.
Let's be good sports and give OKC the win.
Last secondApril 7, 2010 4:52 p.m.
If this would have happened at the end of the 1st half this would be a non-issue. What about the no call when Deron was pummeled going to the hoop? Not a last second shot so therefore no statement by the NBA claiming Deron should have taken a couple of free throws. Does it change the outcome? No. Jazz win, Thunder lose.
Crazy Jazz fans!April 7, 2010 4:51 p.m.
I can't tell you how hardheaded Jazz fans can be! My fanatic Jazz friends were practically yelling at me last night telling me that Miles didn't foul him.
I wish refs would stop getting so intimidated at the ESA (aka cement box).
Foul FoulApril 7, 2010 4:51 p.m.
When will people learn that the game is not about whether fouls are real are not. The uncertainty of the ref's decisions, his OPINION based on what he SEES, is a facet of the game both teams deal with. That's basketball, my friends. Welcome to reality.
Suns FanApril 7, 2010 4:47 p.m.
You have got to be kidding me. First, why on earth are they coming out saying yes, it was a foul. They were not there, next to the players in real time. Basketball is a contact sport, and contact is made every play. The officials are there to interpret the contact, and it was interpreted as no foul, therefore, no foul occurred. How can they undermine their referees like that? Should all contact be interpreted as a foul?
dumbApril 7, 2010 4:46 p.m.
The NBA has no business releasing statements like that unless they want to go through the entire game and point out every bad call made. It just happened to be the last one. This isn't the first time that the ref's have swallowed their whistles on the last play of the game and I'm sure it won't be the last. For the NBA to single out this game and that one play is hypocritical at best.
BillApril 7, 2010 4:43 p.m.
Did they review the phantom call Durant got a couple posessions before to get within one? I would like the NBA to publicly make a statement to say that it definetly should not have been a foul. In fact, I demand it.
All or NoneApril 7, 2010 4:43 p.m.
I understand the frustration Thunder fans may have at the non-call at the end of the game. However, how many other fouls were not called during the course of the game? Let's be honest, not every foul is called during a NBA basketball game. It's true that the non-call in question here would have made a difference. However, so would have every other non-call during the game. If the NBA were to go back and give Durant the chance to shoot free throws because of the non-call. They should review the entire game and allot free throws to every player who had a non-call foul.
AnonymousApril 7, 2010 4:41 p.m.
If you don't remember, go watch the end of that game. Watch Paul Millsap get hacked to death.
Justice was served last night.
No one is denying DurantApril 7, 2010 4:41 p.m.
was fouled. Sorry OKC.
Henry DrummondApril 7, 2010 4:39 p.m.
Confession is good for the soul! Thank you NBA for confessing to the obvious. How about coming clean with the numerous other fouls that were mis-called last night. Any comment on the blocked shot that landed D-Will on the floor?

YeahApril 7, 2010 4:30 p.m.
Probably was, but sometimes the bad call goes for you, and sometimes it goes against you. This time it was for us. That's sports!
three11stuApril 7, 2010 4:27 p.m.
I totally agree with the last call, which was a foul on the Jazz. rnHowever, I think that only makes up for a handful of no calls that went the Thunders way last night. Instead of looking at the calls that go against the leagues best players, these officials should be looking at every game.rnThe Jazz showed a lot of heart in the game last night, and in the end, I think the better team won.rn

When British stand-up comedian Sanderson Jones and a fellow comic began the godless congregation of The Sunday Assembly in London this year, they didn't imagine how far it would spread.
Mr Jones was at Canberra's first assembly on Monday night, joined by 140 people young and old who sang to the Beatles and Ben Harper, listened to a psychologist and then chatted over tea and cake."We get so many different types of people who come," Mr Jones said.
"Some people who go to standard atheist and humanist movements are stunned at the diversity of our community."
The unique service at the Polish Club – in a church-like format but without the religion - brought together those with polar opposite views on the supernatural, Canberra co-founder Sonya Tirtajaya said.
"I had an atheist come up to me and said they enjoyed it, and I had a Minister from the Uniting Church come up and say she had a great time," Ms Tirtajaya said.
"People were so positive, I think they really connected, I think people were very sociable."
Mr Jones, 32, has traveled to five countries in as many weeks on a global mega launch for new assemblies, which now number 40 worldwide.
"It's quite a tried and tested formula [now], and we're operating in a market with very little competition ... It's very exciting," he said.
"We didn't start [it] as an international organisation."
Mr Jones – an atheist who lost a direct family connection to church after his religious mother died when he was 10 - said the motivation to recreate a church-like community was about embracing life.
"For me, it was just having a really transcendental sense of how wonderful it is to be alive," he said.
Canberra's inaugural event attracted families with children, many in their 20s and some in their 60s and 70s, who heard about the benefits of the beginner's mind from Australian National University academic Randolph Sparks, then joined in song to popular hits such as The Beatles' Twist and Shout.
The monthly assembly next meets on January 19, with a social event planned for December 18.

Mark Myers About
Artist__™s Statement / 2009 / Mark Myers
I am interested in formulating a symbolic language that addresses individual psychology while also furthering the concept of a ___global society___. We can learn a great deal about ourselves by examining the strategies employed by peoples from different cultures which enable them to participate in the arena of world affairs while retaining a connection to their cultural roots. As technologies continue to accelerate, the resultant shock waves are shaking societies to their foundations. My artwork addresses the effects of technology upon culture.
When the world changes, religions and mythologies struggle to respond. Myth today has much the same function it has always held; it teaches us how to live a human lifetime. My symbolic system is based on the same themes that have been presented by artists and mystics alike throughout human history. The symbols I present are based upon the awakening of individuals to the knowledge of themselves as parts of the whole planetary system; and simultaneously as individuals without boundaries or horizons.
The series of works I have presented express a profound sense of irony that stems from the collision of traditional cultural systems with the juggernaut of global technological advancements. Communication technologies have made virtually any point of our planet accessible to our ever growing population. This technological growth brings information and with it, renewed pressure on both public and private lives. Will variations in customs and lifestyles gradually fade in the glare of a global monoculture, or can we retain some meaningful vestiges of our cultural diversity?
I am intrigued with the notion that the internet and telecommunications, the two most ubiquitous representations of expanding globalization, may be responsible for erasing cultural distinctions. Ironically, it may also be our best hope of preserving those distinctions and passing them on to future generations. There is in my view, a great need today for systems of symbolization that can address a new emerging world view of humankind__™s greater cosmic purpose and the individual__™s place in the changing landscape we are creating.

- 1 cup clarified butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- Kosher salt, to taste
- dash of Tabasco or pinch of Cayenne pepper
Heat an inch or two of water in a saucepan over a medium heat. Also, your clarified butter should be warm, but not hot.
Combine the egg yolks and the cold water in a glass or stainless steel bowl (not aluminum) whisk for a minute or two, until the mixture is light and foamy. Whisk in a couple of drops of lemon juice, too.
The water in the saucepan should have begun to simmer. Set the bowl directly atop the saucepan of simmering water. The water itself should not come in contact with the bottom of the bowl. Whisk the eggs for a minute or two, until they're slightly thickened.
Remove the bowl from the heat and begin adding the melted butter slowly at first, a few drops at a time, while whisking constantly. If you add it too quickly, the emulsion will break.
Continue beating in the melted butter. As the sauce thickens, you can gradually increase the rate at which you add it, but at first, slower is better.
After you've added all the butter, whisk in the remaining lemon juice and season to taste with Kosher salt and cayenne pepper (or a dash of Tabasco sauce). The finished hollandaise sauce will have a smooth, firm consistency. If it's too thick, you can adjust the consistency by whisking in a few drops of warm water.
It's best to serve hollandaise right away. You can hold it for about an hour, provided you keep it warm. Do not hold for more than two hours, both for quality and safety reasons.
Cooks note: Hollandise in one of the four "mother sauces" which is used to make the following:

One of my customers reported to me that they accessed my site within the AOL dial up interface, clicked on a merchant link, and was redirected to the AOL Storefront.
I'm not sure if this is just an attempt to redirect sales to their stores through creative marketing, or if they actually hijacked my customer sale.
This occured last night. I dialed up this morning to test and it didn't happen to me. BUT - I believe this may be a feature they can turn on and off, most likely on during peak sales periods.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is an open-world, third-person action-adventure with first-person shooter gameplay mixed in.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Graphic settings help provide good performance on all hardware
There are actual graphical settings options in the setting of the game allowing the player to choose what settings work best for their device. This allows the game to look great on high end hardware, yet still perform well on low end hardware.
Pro Excellent choice of shooting RPG with new type of shooting animal
Movie like western style rogue game with bounty hunter action. Awesome game. Story with a twist in the middle and end of game. Play to find out..
Pro Intuitive adapted controls
From what was originally an XBox game meant to be played with a controller, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has been adapted quite well to touch screen. Intuitive features such as shaking the device to heal puts this game apart from other ports as time was actually taken to figure in features that work on the mobile platform.
Con Linear story-line doesn't allow free movement
Once you complete all the missions in one town, there is no way to go back. This sort of defeats the purpose of a free-world game.
The first person shooter sections of the game can be a bit difficult as the player needs to remove their thumb from one of the touch screen movement sticks to shoot, making parts of movement impossible to control while shooting.

Cambodia and IRRI commit to further boost country's rice industry
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia—The Royal Government of Cambodia signed an agreement with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) to further strengthen the country's rice sector through research and training.
IRRI Director General Matthew Morell and Cambodian Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation H.E. Ouch Borith signed the agreement on 27 July in Phnom Penh. The signing ceremony is part of the celebration of 30 years of partnership between Cambodia and IRRI.
The signed agreement brings the enduring partnership to a new level after three decades of scientific collaboration to help the country achieve production levels that not only satisfy the domestic demand for rice, but also enable Cambodia to serve as a significant rice exporter. The advances also help strengthen Cambodia's resilience in coping with the challenges brought by climate change, rapid population growth, and dwindling natural resources.
Currently, Cambodia and IRRI are conducting joint research projects on climate change adaptation and mitigation, climate-resilient rice varieties, remote sensing-based crop monitoring, improvement of farmers' livelihoods, and postharvest technology. Many Cambodian researchers are also benefiting from IRRI's training and capacity-building activities.
The historical partnership began in 1986 when M.S. Swaminathan, then IRRI director general, met with Cambodian Prime Minister H.E. Hun Sen, following a request from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to help develop the country's rice research system. In July 1986, a memorandum of understanding between the two parties was signed. With funding from the Australian Agency for International Development, MAFF created the Cambodia-IRRI-Australia Project in 1987.
The 30th anniversary celebration was followed by the Southeast Asia Regional Consultation Workshop on IRRI's 10-year strategic plan and the first annual review of the USAID-funded project, Accelerating the Adoption of Stress-tolerant Rice Varieties by Smallholder Farmers in Nepal and Cambodia.

I have sex with men, but I never sleep with them.
I had fallen asleep on a fainting couch in the library of the monastery when a slight rustling causes me to open my eyes. An elderly woman near the stacks starts floating toward me. It appears that she has long, bloody fangs—I realize immediately that she's a vampire.
I try to move, but my limbs are paralyzed. My heart thuds a rapid beat, echoing in my ears. I start hyperventilating. In between gasping for air, I scream, "Help me, somebody, help me." She floats closer, hovering above me before she lunges at my neck.
I can't move. I'm going to die.
"Help me, somebody, help me."
The shouting wakes me from my dream and I realize that I am the one shrieking. I am in my own bedroom, not some creepy monastery, but I can't stop screaming.
And, I can't move. No matter how much I want to, my arms and legs will not budge.
My chest heaves as I struggle for breath and my heart races so quickly I fear I'm having a heart attack. As I slowly become aware of my surroundings, I understand that the elderly vampire and monastery are just a part of my usual, vivid dreams. While the rational part of my brain knows that nightmares and sleep paralysis are because of my narcolepsy, it takes five tense, sweaty minutes before that part overrides my hyperactive fight-or-flight response.
When I can finally move, I flick on the light. My dogs are pacing and yipping and I am relieved that I am alone.
One of the symptoms of narcolepsy is hypnagogic hallucinations—feeling and seeing things during dreams. While I sleep, I am tripping my face off. The truly horrifying part is the sleep paralysis. When I dream that I see a man dressed in black standing outside my bedroom door with a knife I can't even shake myself out of the dream by moving.
Because I can be scary to sleep with, I rarely sleep with men. Oh, I have sex with men; but I try not to fall asleep while I am with them. While most people worry about snoring or drooling with a new partner, I fear that I might accidentally punch him in the face because I think I am protecting myself from an attacker. Sleeping with someone feels like the more intimate thing I can do because it means that I have to share with him.
Telling someone about this medical condition feels almost as terrifying as my dreams. I would have to share with him the hopelessness that I feel about having this disorder. For 16 years, I lost consciousness, felt excessive sleepiness, and suffered from crazy dreams before doctors finally diagnosed it. Even though I know what is wrong, I am still confused.
If I experience extreme emotion (including a terrific orgasm) I could lose consciousness—but it's random. I've never passed out at a funeral of a loved one, for example. Though, I did faint on the USS Constitution while walking the Freedom Trail by myself (what a fun way to scare tourists). The terrible dreams happen inconsistently and create powerful emotions. I'm still kind of mad at my best friend who refused to let me take one of my dogs in a post-apocalyptic nightmare I had where we were fleeing the city.
Even if I don't awake shrieking, crying, and hyperventilating, I am not fun to sleep with. I thrash around wildly, kicking and punching my mate.
My body betrays me. When I want to enjoy my time with someone, my body has different ideas, making me faint and klutzy. After spending an entire night flirting with a study partner in college, my muscles weakened and my head became heavy, sure signs that I would soon pass out. I made an awkward excuse and bolted out of the bar, terrified that if I lost consciousness inside a bar, I'd be arrested. As I pushed myself to walk home, I realized my vision was darkening and I rushed up the stairs of a church and leaned against the doors to pass out. Simple flirting resulted in a short public nap, which is more dangerous than losing consciousness in a public place in front of a crush.
Instead of letting someone see me lose consciousness, I decided to remain guarded. I worried that if I tell a man, he'll think that he has to take care of me and he'll stop returning my calls. I'm the first to suggest that a new boyfriend might prefer to sleep at home or I rush out in the middle of the night with a lame excuse.
For a year, I hooked up with a man who in some ways was like a boyfriend. After sex, I curled on my side, his arm around my waist, and stared at the swirls of plaster on his walls instead of sleeping. I'd doze off, but soon wake, fearful if I started dreaming that I would twitch or scream. With his gentle snoring in the background, I would study the tapestry covering his window, wondering why a grown man didn't have proper blinds.
Occasionally, he'd wake up and realize I was still up. Instead of talking about narcolepsy—or really anything that involved my feelings—I'd initiate foreplay. My inability to sleep and share anything meant we had marathon sex, but at the expense of creating actual intimacy. If we weren't filling the time with sex, we were gossiping or talking about sports (not a great interest of mine), but I knew it was a way to keep him chatting without sharing my feelings. Part of it had to do with being fresh from a divorce, but the other part of me feared being rejected for something out of my control.
Keeping this secret meant I did not share other things, including when I started developing feelings for him. Remaining guarded made me seem cold and uninterested. When I drunkenly confronted him at a party about hitting on someone else, he looked at me exasperatedly and said, "But what are we even?" I could not answer. It soon fizzled.
But, I tried something new recently. I told a guy I was dating I was narcoleptic—over gchat. I held my breath as I waited for the rejection, and I braced myself for him to tell me that this is too much. I wouldn't blame him, who wants to deal with a girl with a health problem? Finally, the screen flashed. His response: "Does that mean when you pass out, I can pose you in funny positions and take photos?" I laughed. "Yes."
Instead of acting standoffish, I was honest. The narcolepsy never became an issue, and I was more intimate with him than others. That still didn't mean I slept well. It only meant that I felt less afraid if I did fall asleep. (If someone realizes I'm awake, I still fill the space with sex, but this probably has more to do with me enjoying it than being afraid of talking.)
One evening as we were tangled in the sheets after a particularly rousing romp, I lied with my head on his chest. When I felt a dull weight in my head, I realized I only saw shooting stars, not the streetlight shining through the window of my bedroom. I had all the signs that I'd lose consciousness.
It's only polite to warn a person when I'm going to faint, but for a moment, I paused, worrying that this announcement might freak him out. And, I wondered if he'd live up to his promise of posing and photographing me.
Instead of kicking him out, I turned my head toward him and simply said, "Wow, I think I am going to faint."
"That good, eh?"

Ariana Grande falls victim to nude pictures prank on April Fools' Day
Ariana Grande fell victim to a nasty prank on April Fools' Day (01Apr14) when a nude pictures hoax began circulating on the Internet. The pop singer's fans were shocked when a number of Twitter.com posts offered up links to what appeared to be saucy snaps of the star late on Monday night (31Mar14), and the tag line #ArianasNudesLeaked began trending on Tuesday (01Apr14).
The scandal was later revealed to be a hoax, with the links offering up a message reading "Happy April Fools' Day".
Grande had not commented on the prank as WENN went to press.

Unanswered: Importing a csv file on a schedule.
I am trying to import some data from a csv file on a regular basis. This file, however, is stored on a website. I can't seem to find a way, either using DTS or a stored procedure to make this task simple. If the file is at http://www.mysite.com/import.csv is there anyway I can get DTS to download that file and import it into a new table?

Yes, however the owner of the DTS package must also have rights to the share the file is on. What error are you getting?MeanOldDBA

The database and server are located in house (we're a web design co) so there's no problem there, but the csv file isn't ours.
What we're doing is trying to automatically download a weather station/location list from NOAA, but it isn't posted on their ftp site, only on their website. So, if I understand your statment correctly, it's not really on a share, rather it's just a http url.
I've come up with a couple of solutions that will work, but their not very elegant and I can't believe I'm not overlooking something since DTS has procedures for retrieving from ftp and from csv's.
Hope this clears up what I'm asking for.
Thanks for your time.

If you have a copy of the Windows Resource Kit, load Perl from it onto your DTS machine. Build a tiny Perl script to retrieve a copy of the file to a local disk, make that script a step in your DTS package, and you should be on your way!

Albuquerque, NM (PressExposure) June 12, 2009 -- Faith Comes By Hearing, the world's foremost Audio Bible ministry, records and uses Audio Bibles to disciple the world's poor and illiterate people. Their mission is to record the New Testament in 2,000 languages and to start two million Bible listening groups by 2016 to reach the 50% of the world who cannot read and are poor.
It's no secret that the U.S. economy is struggling to land aground. Big businesses and brand-name ministries are cutting costs, cutting services and cutting jobs, all at an alarming rate.
In a recent Christianity Today article, "The Not-for-Profit Surge," author John W. Kennedy writes that many ministries report drops in regular donations, major gifts and investment income. Some ministries have even seen double-digit percent decreases in their 2009 budgets.
"In the tough economic climate, donors want to know they are having the most impact for the Kingdom," said Jerry Jackson, founder and president of the world's foremost Audio Bible ministry. "People know that the need for God's Word is so great among poor and illiterate people of the world. And, they are responding because they know the value of supporting the Bible cause."
In February 2009, this Albuquerque, N.M.-based non-profit was one of only a handful of charities to receive their second consecutive Charity Navigator 4-Star rating for fiscal responsibility. Faith Comes By Hearing has an impeccable 36-year financial history.
Faith Comes By Hearing has their biggest year of outreach planned, The goal for 2009 is to implement 200,000 Bible listening groups worldwide. This ambitious aim would reach around 18 million people with the Gospel.
Jackson said that worldwide ministry partners have seen how effective the strategy of Bible listening is and that more than $30 million is needed for this year's goal.
Walter and Sherri Green from Waxahachie, Texas, are regular supporters to Faith Comes By Hearing.
While on a donor trip to Guatemala, they clearly felt the call from God tugging at their hearts to help poor and illiterate people have the Word of God in audio. Years later, they are still emotionally affected and touched deeply after witnessing what happened to people who heard God's Word for the first time in their own language.
Hundreds of chattering children and adults suddenly stopped and listened intently, Sherri recalled. The Greens then gratefully watched as many gave their hearts to Christ.
"We are impressed with the transparency that Faith Comes By Hearing provides," Sherri explains. "At any time we can ask for proof of dollars spent. They also continually update us about how the mission is moving forward."
When you give to Faith Comes By Hearing, your dollars are used responsibly, Sherri explained.
Typically, a gift of $157 provides an Audio New Testament in the heart language to an entire village. However, Wycliffe Bible Translators recently offered a $334,000 matching challenge, doubling the impact of each gift.
"We are called to reach every nation, tribe and tongue with the Word of God in audio. Please join us!" said Jackson.

8 Things You Won't Believe Can Be Hacked By: Colin Murdock
If movies are to be believed, hackers are mostly kept busy fighting the man with CGI animations of smiley faces, or else dwelling in the darkest corners of their mothers' basements and doing purely nerdy stuff that never affects the real world. But neither assumption is true: Hacking does not look like a rad skateboarder busting a kickflip over an onyx tower, and hackers do gain access to things that can affect your daily life ... and sometimes, even end it.

#8. Can Explode Your Unmentionables
We think we have a pretty good idea of what hackers are capable of: stealing your personal information, crashing your computer, Rollerblading like a sonofa..... and making out with Angelina Jolie (back when she was hot, before her alien DNA kicked in and she started looking like a hawk-monster).
But today's hackers have finally crossed a line, and must be terminated with extreme prejudice. The offense? They're trying to destroy your "unmentionables'.
The newest MacBooks contain batteries with small monitor chips installed. It's such a discreet addition that Apple didn't feel the need to secure it, which of course means that hackers everywhere had to immediately set to work exploiting it.
It gets pretty technical, but the gist of the process is this: The software uses a default password, which is the same in every single MacBook. By reverse engineering the firmware, hackers can render the battery useless or inject malware into the system through the chip (and you couldn't even wipe your hard drive and reformat the system to get rid of it, because you probably won't think to check your battery for a virus).
Or, if they're feeling particularly villainous, they could just overheat the battery of your laptop (so named because it sits on top of your lap, which, you'll recall, is where you keep your unmentionables) to the point of bursting into flames or exploding. That's right: Hackers are after your unmentionables.
There is just no version of that sentence that is anything less than terrifying.
#7. Cut Your Car's Brakes
Security specialists at the University of Washington and the University of California have shown that new cars with computer systems onboard face a real security threat from hackers. These scientists were able to gain control of two vehicles and operate more than a dozen functions while the cars were in motion.
This included things like braking, selective braking of each wheel (thus effectively "steering" the car) and shutting off the engine completely. Scarier still is that once they gained control of the vehicles, driver input was totally ignored: The pedals, wheel and switches all had no effect.
They were also able to launch a "composite attack," in which the malicious software would be erased after a crash, effectively leaving no evidence of tampering.
Being vehicular-manslaughtered by cyberwarriors is the worst case scenario, of course.
It's far more likely that these exploits will be used to simply steal the cars. Experts are predicting that the future of car theft is a split venture, with hackers selling their services to car thieves by providing them with the GPS location of the vehicle, then unlocking the door and starting the engine remotely so the thieves can drive off with it.
Possible points of entry for a car hacker are through Bluetooth, a cellular network, the freaking tire pressure monitor and even music files. Yes, the next song you download could be your last, if the wrong hacker has been into it.
So while we agree that Journey's Greatest Hits is indeed a sweet album that you totally need for that road trip, you have to ask yourself the question: Is it worth dying for?
(The answer is yes, obviously.)
#6. Control a Nuclear Power Plant
When Scott Lunsford, a researcher for IBM's Internet Security Systems, told the owners of an American nuclear power station that he could hack into their system through the Internet, they laughed in his face. They told him that he couldn't do it; that it was "impossible."
Then they left to look up the word "hubris" in the dictionary while Lunsford hacked the **** out of their systems. It took his team less than a day to infiltrate and less than a week to take full control of the nuclear power station. He claimed it was "one of the easiest penetration tests" he had ever performed.
While he couldn't have caused anything like a meltdown, Lunsford is still convinced that if he had been inclined, he could have done some significant damage within the system. All it would have taken was simply "closing a valve" to shut off power to most of a city.
The particular system Lunsford hacked to gain control of the plant is powered by something called SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software, and the bad news is that so is most of the rest of America's infrastructure.
SCADA controls things like water filtration plants and subway networks all across the nation, and its security is becoming weaker by the day, mostly due to ever-increasing Internet connectivity. Lunsford imagines a variety of catastrophic possibilities if cyber-terrorists ever learned of these exploits in the SCADA system, like he just did, and like we're telling you about right now (uh ... sorry, America).
#5. Use Your Computer Screen as a Two-Way Mirror
Odds are that if you're reading this, you have a Webcam pointed at you right now and -- NO DON'T LOOK AT IT! Just be cool, OK? Act natural ...
Most likely, there's nobody watching you. We assume even bored hackers have better things to do than watch someone play Call of Duty and distractedly drop Fritos on their underwear. But if a hacker ever did want to gain control of your Webcam to spy on you, it's very doable.
In fact, improperly or entirely unsecured Webcams have entire sites devoted to them: Here's a whole subreddit of controllable Webcams that you're going to lose an entire afternoon clicking on, just because you can.
Webcam manufacturers are well aware of this problem, too. Companies like Logitech are already fitting their Webcams with privacy shields (a fancy term for "lens caps") to protect their users against unwanted access.
As far as a motive for this kind of invasion of privacy, there are few reasons to hack a civilian's personal Webcam short of spying on women changing ... aaaand that's exactly what the majority of cases turn out to be.
So if you're an attractive woman reading this and you're worried about your privacy, check for the LED indicator next to your Webcam to see when it's active. And, uh ... maybe send us a thank you message for introducing this vital information to you, and then just continue about your normal business: checking your email *****
#4. Shower in Free Money
Remember the "easy money" scene from Terminator 2, when John Connor and his friend hack an ATM with a portable Atari computer? That wasn't fiction. (Well, that one part, anyway. The rest of that movie was absolutely fictional. Sentient killer skeleton robots do not exist, and "Hasta la vista, baby" is not a thing that reasonable human beings say to one another.) Unlike most companies, ATM designers haven't been getting hacked much in the last decade or so, and as such, their security measures are slightly behind the curve.
At last year's Black Hat technical security conference, IOActive Labs' Director of Security Research, Barnaby Jack, wanted to demonstrate just how easy it was to hack a couple of ATMs.
He didn't need to open up the machine or even make a withdrawal to accomplish this. He did everything entirely remotely, using only his laptop and a program called Jackpot. When he was done, a jaunty little tune played on his speakers, the word "jackpot" flashed on his screen, and the ATM started spitting out bills all over the place, presumably while Barnaby kicked his heels together and yipped like an old-timey prospector.
Roughly 40 percent of you are now typing "Jackpot full download" into Google.
#3. Crash the National Power Grid
By 2020, the U.K. wants to have a smart meter in every home to measure gas and electricity consumption. The devices send real-time data directly to the utility companies through a Web connection, thus providing customers with constantly updated information on energy conservation while simultaneously helping to manage national demand more efficiently.
The smart meter sounds like a reasonable idea to us working stiffs (well, we're not really working, but we sure are stiff!), but where we see just a little gray box outside that gives us power, a hacker sees a bunch of low-hanging fruit with minimal security, spanning the entire country.
If just one of these boxes was infected with a worm, it could theoretically bring down the entire grid. In the case of the U.K.'s future national "smart grid" plan, that could potentially mean cutting the power off to an entire country.
That's why the really good Modern Warfare players own generators.
Worldwide, there are already 40 million smart meters in use, and several of those networks operate in the U.S. Yet another team from IOActive (these guys are starting to sound like equal parts Robin Hood and Doctor Doom, aren't they?) developed a worm and used it to illustrate the security flaws in these systems.
With this worm in place, they did exactly what they warned, and successfully took control of an entire American power grid. Mike Davis, a senior consultant for the firm, issued this ominous statement: "We can switch off hundreds of thousands of homes potentially at the same time."
He didn't append the statement with a list of demands or anything, but we're forced to assume that it was followed by some sort of maniacal cackling.
#2. Stop Your Heart
Everything from your car to your blender is getting upgraded with a computer chip these days. Medical implants like pacemakers are no exception. Since they need to be updated somewhat remotely anyway (otherwise all maintenance would involve major surgery), they do have limited outside connectivity, allowing doctors to access your stored medical history, your name and address and your doctor's name and address. Oh, and a skilled hacker can access all of it, too.
That's right: They can hack your **** heart.
And as if we need to say it: Obviously they can remotely stop it beating while they're in there.
In some devices, like an implanted defibrillator, which shocks your heart back into activity if it ever seizes up, hackers can remotely shut off the device and wait for you to die or, if they just ain't got all day, send it into test mode instead -- where the pacemaker repeatedly delivers powerful, fatal shocks to the heart even when it's already beating just fine.
Diabetic implants like insulin pumps have proven to be another security risk: When hackers get access to one of these devices, they can mess with the levels being injected into the body, which, again, can have fatal consequences.
Jay Radcliffe discovered this hack while he was messing around with his own diabetic equipment. At first he thought it was "really cool" that he could just ditz around for a few minutes and gain access to computers within his own body. Then he realized that any bored teenager with the right skill set could have total mastery over whether he lives or dies.
#1. See You Naked
You know those full body scanners they have at airports now? They're essentially robots that strip-search you with science, staring right through your clothes to see if you're hiding a weapon or an embarrassing tattoo. But more disturbing than the simple fact that these pictures exist is the ease with which these X-ray devices can be hacked. Hackers can gain control of an airport's PC from hundreds of miles away and download these pictures in a flash, probably kick-starting a new half-transparent ghostporn fetish (and the Internet is already at near critical levels of fetish saturation).
The images these devices capture are supposed to be deleted immediately after security views them, but that's not always the case.
Last year, images from an older type of full body scanner (slightly less naked-looking images) were leaked, and future privacy breaches like this are considered a very real threat. So if you're planning to travel by air in the future, maybe hit the gym, do a little waxing and be more selective about your underwear choices, because you never know who could be judging your naked body in the near future.

So, it's been awhile. Oops! Almost two months exactly in fact. Double oops! But, since I've last updated, this happened:
In fact, the 10% just happened this morning! I received the 25lbs in October some time and the SAS charm last week! So, I'm on a roll. My total weight loss (from my highest weight) is 64.4 lbs.
I managed to make it 94 days of straight tracking before I broke my streak. October was actually an interesting month for me. I started tracking on July 1st and made it through October 2nd. During the month of October, I didn't track or was just so off-program that I didn't count them for a total of 8 days. I managed to still lose around 7 lbs in October. I've been back OP since October 28 – today is Day 14. I've been using an app called Goal Tracker (Android) to mark the days as they go by … what I like most is that I can see that for the last 133 days (since July 1st), I've tracked and been OP for 125 days. That's a 94% success rate, and you really can't argue with that!
Exercise is still going well. Doing 3 times a week at the gym and walking 2 times a week (mostly). When I walk on Saturdays I do a 5K distance.
This week I'm on a business trip and food and exercise will be tough. My goal is to walk on the treadmill every night for 2 miles at least. That'll at least get me some activity. I'd like to at least come home on Friday with a maintain! If I can do that, I'll be quite happy!

Israel's only medalist at the last Olympics, Zubari required a dramatic comeback to book his place at the 2012 Games.With each country only being allowed to send one windsurfer to the Olympics, Zubari battled local opponent Nimrod Mashiah for almost a year before edging him for the ticket to London at the very last moment.

I played with other people's M240 files and I took several of my own that did little for me in terms of the rendering/color department. I also feel that way regarding the images I see out of the M246 when compared to the MM9 as well. Simply put I don't like the CMOSIS sensor and what it does but I digress for reasons that I don't want to beat a dead horse as I moved on from owning a Leica M for now.
As I say in many threads - there really aren't any bad cameras these days but some are simply a better fit for others. The M240 didn't fit into my camera bag where as I lived with a M9 since 2009 until 2014 when I decided to commit to Sony FE (although it has its own issues separate from Leica ones.) I don't think that most will argue that the M240 is not a more responsive camera than the M9 but many bought the M240 and went back to the M9 after not loving what it produced.

Milford Haven tanker incident prompts marine emergencies Bill
The Government is supporting a Private Member's Bill which will extend official powers of intervention in marine pollution emergencies. Part of the impetus for the legislation has come from an incident in which an oil company turned away an oil tanker with engine trouble from its jetty in Milford Haven.

Setting Density for Velocity Inlet Face
My problem involves a velocity inlet which is supposed to supply a desired mass flow rate.
However, my problem also includes one UDS, which is used to get the density field through a UDF. Fluent seems to be taking the density of the cells adjacent to the velocity inlet to evaluate density on the inlet face instead of using the value of the UDS specified.
I tried defining my own flux UDF for the UDS; however, i cannot adjust the way fluent calculates flux for the continuity and momentum equations, so this solution is not sufficient.
In addition, switching to a mass flow rate inlet condition will not solve the problem since the incorrect density will result in the incorrect velocity.
Accordingly, the best solution seems to be to set the correct density on the inlet face (that way all calculations done internally by fluent with this density are correct).
However, i am hesitant to simply define a user adjust or execute on end because i am worried fluent will overwrite my correction internally.
How do i specify density on inlet face/how do i change the way fluent calculates density on the inlet face?
