YouPorn.com has been around for only a while now , since 2006, just around the same time I started not shying away from the fact that I am a porn fan. It is actually one of the very first multiple category free porn sites to hit the interwebs. It has been a meteoric rise since and if you are not taking advantage of this site , I wonder what the fuck you have been doing with your life? You Porn has unlimited content , over 300,000 videos to be precise. ThePornDude loves the daily updates, which are about 100 times per day , which is pretty much a mystery till now. With over 12 Million visitors per day and an incredible 2.5 million searches per day from countries around the world , why would someone not want to have a piece of this cake everyone seems to be enjoying. About the women. ThePornDude basically loves anything with a pair of tits and a pussy (but of course the pretty ones have priority?)…There are so many sluts in YouPorn; they are in all forms, shapes and sizes. I'm talking of whores as young as 18 to old-timers of 50 years. One way or another you can be sure that your fantasies are all figured out. It's called variety , dear fap friend. No rules are filtering the contents of this site. The is appropriately categorised to improve your viewing experience. Prepare for one hell of a ride. Just like the whores, ThePornDude definitely loves the action , which again comes in a variety. Any sick and twisted XXX mixture you can think of, you will find on this bitch. Watch these beautiful women get their wet pussies pounded dry , watch them take cumshots, suck gigantic dicks, and basically any crazy fantasy involving cocks and clits. You will also find , lesbian, BDSM, and everything. Dude , this is heaven. Feeling like your boss has been a pain in the ass? Feeling like releasing some of that tension? ThePornDude highly recommends You Porn. There are loads of categories; fetishes, lesbian, hardcore sex , mature , young and old , and much, much more. The videos correspond to giant channels like Defloration TV, Brazzers, Nubile Films, and Young Anal Tryouts. Over 2,500 channels representing the biggest porn studios are represented here which guarantees you to find whatever it is your horny habits yearns for. You would have to check out the site yourself to comprehend.The site has a handy menu bar at the top of the homepage which allows you to zero in on the content you are searching. Under 'videos', you can choose to jerk off to new content , content that the site recommends for you based on the amount of discussion the videos have generated, top-rated videos, most-viewed videos, your location , and your site history.YouPorn understands that you are a busy person and therefore allows you to create your collection and save videos you like. For instance , you can create a collection called 'Threesomes' from multiple porn publishers, and anytime you want to jerk off to a threesome; you can always retrieve it. Even better , you can check out the collection your fellow twisted freaks have made. This is a terrific way of sampling the thousands of videos You Porn has to offer. Perhaps even better , you can also filter the search results by category , for example , Asian, and then combine filters to zero in on your specific smut cocktail. The site has a simple and intuitive keyword-combining mechanism. Let 's say for example you have clicked on BBW. You can then click on +Redhead and +Anal and + Amateur and boom , YouPorn ( often misspelled as "youpron", "youporno", "youpirn", "youprn", "yporn" and "youpoen") delivers you your cocktail. This is clearly not something you can say about many sites. Regarding quality , porn is displayed to you in beautiful 1280?720 resolution or a high of 720p high definition quality for short clips. That's pretty fucking awesome. Streaming videos and download them in MP4 format is quite easy. Just like you would expect with a free site , there are a lot of ads and pop-ups on You Porn, which I sure find a bit annoying. Anyway, maybe that's how the site pays its bills without bothering you with a monthly fee. Understandable. Still , you can avoid the inconvenience by using Ad Blocker. Want to avoid the hassles of ads completely? You can sign in for a monthly membership at $9.99 per month. You will not only get to view content without ads but also gain access to premium content including high-quality 1080p HD videos and more than 13,000 DVDs. However , ThePornDude does not like how vague the site is forthcoming with specifics about what you get when you pay for membership. You want to know what you are paying for.There are also some videos with pretty poor quality , possibly because the video source was poor , to begin with. But don't you worry , you will still find plenty of 720p HD quality videos.I know all you are looking for is a supply of high quality , free videos to jerk off your miserable life away. Don't worry ; there are millions like you all over.
Any serious pornoholic has definitely at least heard of the tube site known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm willing to wager, have fapped to it on more than one occasion. For some of you, it might even be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the case , you are certainly not alone. In fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster frequently enough to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Hub , it is the third most popular pornographic site on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 by Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the site wanted to do something different from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming off of the peak popularity of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter , xHamsters founders set out to create a site that was equal parts porn tube and xxx social media site. A spokesperson for the site said of xHamster's intentions that the site was meant for people who wanted to chat , exchange erotic pics and share amateur videos ... to find mutual friends online and maybe discover partners interested in intimate relationships." I think it is fair to say that x Hamster has done a bang-up job of providing the platform that they set out to provide , as it has become a cornucopia of amateur and homemade user-uploaded content. As far as the " discover partners interested in intimate relationships" part is concerned , though , I cannot speak to. I have never felt the need to resort to a porn site to find my " intimate relationships," but I am very curious to know if anyone's ever had any luck with that aspect of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded content , though , controversy is bound to come sooner or later. With the number of people out there in the world who are sick fucks—not sick fucks who spend all day fapping in their mothers' basements the way you are a sick fuck, I'm talking real , clinically ill sick fucks—a site like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they want was bound to become inundated with illegal and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting social tides and establishing a sense of moral duty , though. In April of 2016, for example , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to openly discriminate against members of the LGBT community. In response to this, xHamster blocked their site from any users with an IP address based in North Carolina. You might also recall hearing about the People V. Turner sexual assault case. To help combat the growing prominence of rape culture in America, xHamster banned all videos involving rape , including those which featured the fucking of unconscious partners. Their social and political involvements don't stop there, though. One of my personal favorite political statements that they made came in response to the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to star in a porno opposite a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You know , since she already fucked him out of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't know what is. The Site Itself Obviously , xHamster has made quite a name for themselves in their relatively short period of time as a xxx social media/porn tube. But does the site itself hold up to all the hype? Well , let 's take a look. From the moment you arrive at xHamster's home page , it is hard not to be impressed by how clean and easy to navigate the web design is. With videos broken into two simple and distinct categories: hot porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also easily filter by best instead of newest and by length (which is a great feature , considering homemade videos, for some reason , tend to be significantly shorter in length ). To your left , you can easily filter search results by category , channel , or porn star by simply clicking on it. You can also combine tags together with one click—a great feature that, somehow , is glaringly missing from a lot of tube sites that I've browsed. Their professional studio content appears right alongside their teeming archive of homemade content , unless you specify otherwise. You can also conveniently filter the videos so that you only see straight , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't discriminate at all in your hedonism, however , you can always activate all three. The most annoying thing that they added was a hardcoded watermark on top of the videos. It sometimes really messes with your fap experience , when you're about to see a guy jizz on a chick's face and then...BOOM! That damn watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's face like a motherfucking cockblocker! Seriously , whoever thought it was a good idea deserves a kick in the balls! As far as xHamster's social media components are concerned , you have all the usual community-oriented features that you'd be used to on other similar sites (such as Porn Hub )—you can comment on/rate videos, add videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and message users directly. One thing that really sets xHamster apart from the others, though , is that, when you click on their tab labeled "dating," you are not brought to some sketchy third-party scam " get laid tonight" sexual If you're looking for a massive (and I mean massive ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com might be the place for you. I'm talking nearly 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each page containing around 360 videos. Now math was never my strong suit but I think that adds up to a grand total of nearly 20 million videos! Considering the fact that Video-one is adding new content every day even the loneliest, horniest fappers among us would never run out of material on this tube site. From the moment you arrive to video-one.com ( make sure you don't forget the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting client ), you are immediately in the thick of all that the site has to offer. At the top of the page find 50 or so suggested categories to choose from (" brother " " extra small " "caught stealing ," and " amateur compilation" to name a few ). Lots of Raw Hardcore Content These tags probably give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Video One. Another way to get an idea of the sort of content they offer is to take a look at what sites they link to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should tell you is that a majority of the content will be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You might label a lot of it Gonzo. I tend to use the term "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Couch Fake Taxi and Asian Street Meat. Granted, Video-One does have the occasional HD studio video thrown in here and there, the majority of their content if not full-on homemade, is from one of these studios that specializes in raw content. Be Careful What You Click On Video-One also seems to cater to the demographic of pornophiles who fancy the more taboo type stuff —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Well at least I hope it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from easily recognized, reputable studios, but a good portion of them look to be very homemade and are tagged with things like " Real Sister." I have no way of verifying whether or not these videos are actually illegal or not. I sure as hell ain't clicking on that shit. I wish that you sick incestuous fucks would get the fuck away from the legal web. Stick to the dark web for nasty shit like that. Furthermore, I really think tube sites like Video-One should draw a hard line in the sand against illegal content like this. Even if these aren't true incest videos, why even entertain that they might be? Anything tagged with something like " Real Sister" should be immediately removed from your site. This kind of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could have been a great tube site for me. It should not be on the viewer's discretion to view illegal or potentially abusive content. That becomes your responsibility the moment you decide to make a porn site. How the fuck is this a thing that I can't even skim through a tube site without worrying about whether or not doing so will get me put on some FBI list that I have no business being on? Come on, Video-One, get your fucking shit together. Having said that, be careful what you click on if you decide to visit this site. If you're okay with sifting through potentially illegal content there is a lot of legit, above-board material here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking massive amount of it. Just to illustrate I was on the site for 10 minutes before refreshing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 new videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll never run out of videos to choose from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Pornography The site itself is designed pretty to Either As far as ads are concerned there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the bottom of pages. Which, given the number of videos that appear on each page , you'd have to do a hell of a lot of scrolling to ever find them. I do appreciate that aspect. However , once you do get to them, there are shit load. No ads before videos, though. You will run into the occasional pop-up, new tab ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking time you click on something like it is on a lot of other sites. I would obviously prefer none , but if I have to search for them, then I guess these ads are somewhat excusable. Besides the majority of the on-page ads are for other tube sites (which is very convenient if you want to get the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the new tab pop-ups were often pages that were unable to load in private mode. I'm not sure exactly what this means, but if I can't see the ad, I'm happy. A Brief Call to Action Before You Get Back to Fappin' To be honest I am really turned off by the potentially illegal content to be found on Video-One. It's a shame too, because Video-One has so much potential to be a great porn site with a shit ton of content to choose from. Even if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would still have a massive archive to explore. All of us porn addicts need to come together and just stomp this kind of shit out of our community. Flag shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't offer that feature. Step up and take on the fucking responsibilities that come with having a porn site or don't have one. It's as simple as that. All hail the almighty Porn Hub ! The king of porn sites! Founded in 2007 by Matt Keezer, who sold it to Fabian Thylmann in 2010, because the fucker probably cared more about the money than the website itself! (Would you refuse of the Manwin branch which is now known as 'Mindgeek'. Other giants in the network include sites like YouPorn and Redtube. Although Porn Hub is currently not the most popular porn site in the world it does hold more pornographic content than any other website out in the romantic comedy movie 'Don John' of 2013? It's about a fap addict that can't stop masturbating on porn sites, even though he has a very active sex life. I wonder why the fuck they asked that closet faggot Joseph Gordon-Levitt the your cumshot with the stars in the video. It can be so annoying that the dude and the video is already done! I assume if a video got you off or not. By registering an account, which is 100 free by the way you encounter , you can also easily can remove up your hairy ass with Bubba in jail ! From innocent looking teens showing their naked bodies to spazzed out crack whores being choked, spit on and having every hole violated by a hockey team , this site has it all. Do you like pornstars like Mia Khalifa, Chyna and Stormy Daniels? No problem , click on the pornstars' menu check how she's able to offer off on Porn Hub ( often misspelled as 'pron hub ", "pirnhub", "prnhub", "poenhub", "hubporn", "phub" or "potnhub"), then you cant get off anywhere! In case the ads annoy you, you want to download or watch for a friend 's birthday! Imagine the look on his face , when he opens your present. His eyes will be shattered with tears, and you can be sure that this is one gift he won't be selling on eBay again afterward! You can even upload your homemade sex tape and get paid up to $5,000 by using their amateur payment program and become the next amateur porn star. Don't you want to be the next big thing in pornography?

In previous posts I described how I have been lucky enough to travel to Borneo on fieldwork for the Museum. I explained how moths are collected using light traps, and we also got to meet some of the moths I found during this trip.
The four light traps at our camp were obviously very popular with many different species of moths, but when you put up a light trap in areas which are biologically rich - and this is particularly true in tropical regions - a whole range of other insects show up too.
Enthralled by the many exotic species of moths attracted to one of our light traps.
Many species of beetles, attracted by the bright ultraviolet light of our traps, kept the coleopterists on the trip, Beulah, Max and Howard, busy collecting their favourite invertebrates.
Collecting our favourite species at the light traps.
Some interesting and rare species were sampled in this way, including the magnificent Chalcosoma, a dynastine beetle.
The striking dynastine beetle Chalcosoma moellenkampi (female on the left and male on the right) was one of the many interesting and rare insects visiting the light trap.
Other frequent visitors to the light traps were mantises and crickets which, true to their predatory habit, invariably found a tasty prey to feed upon. Hefty cicadas and large bees and wasps were also numerous; their blatant cries and unpredictable flight paths were a source of constant distraction for us, as we tried to concentrate on less vociferous and placid species. Many flies, stink-bugs, frog- and leaf-hoppers, parasitic wasps and flying ants and termites were also regular visitors at our light traps.
A great variety of other species of insects are commonly attracted by light traps.
…and even a terrestrial crab!
At times, it seemed that the arthropod fauna of the entire neighbourhood was paying a visit to our light traps and every night we were pleasantly surprised to find a new species of moth or beetle appearing at the trap for the first time. The number of insects visiting the traps only decreased during a few nights at the end of the trip; this is because the moon was full and clearly visible from early evening to late night. However we were still up late, trying to collect the few interesting species which, untouched by the resplendent show in the sky, were still paying a visit to our comparatively dingy traps.
There is no way a light trap can compete with such a large and incredibly luminous celestial body!
During the mornings, while my colleagues were checking the Flight Interception and Malaise traps we put up in the forest, or collecting beetles using other methods, I was busy pinning the moths collected the night before.
Setting micro- and macromoths in the field.
This has definitely been an amazing field working experience and judging by the number of specimens we have brought back a very successful one too. We've collected in the region of 13,000 specimens, which, after having gone through the freezing process, will soon be ready to be sorted and identified, mounted and labelled, electronically recorded and finally incorporated in our ever growing collections.

Major Section: EVENTS
The first of these prevents
Examples: (set-case-split-limitations '(500 100)) (set-case-split-limitations 'nil) (set-case-split-limitations '(500 nil))
clausify from trying the
subsumption/replacement (see below) loop if more than 500 clauses
are involved. It also discourages the clause simplifier from
splitting into more than 100 cases at once.
Note: This is an event! It does not print the usual event summary
but nevertheless changes the ACL2 logical world and is so
recorded. Moreover, its effect is to set the
acl2-defaults-table, and
hence its effect is
local to the book or
encapsulate form
containing it; see acl2-defaults-table.
General Form: (set-case-split-limitations lst)where
lst is either
nil (denoting a list of two
nils), or a
list of length two, each element of which is either
nil or a natural
number. When
nil is used as an element, it is treated as positive
infinity. The default setting is
(500 100).
The first number specifies the maximum number of clauses that may participate in the ``subsumption/replacement'' loop. Because of the expensive nature of that loop (which compares every clause to every other in a way that is quadratic in the number of literals in the clauses), when the number of clauses exceeds about 1000, the system tends to ``go into a black hole,'' printing nothing and not even doing many garbage collections (because the subsumption/replacement loop does not create new clauses so much as it just tries to delete old ones). The initial setting is lower than the threshold at which we see noticeably bad performance, so you probably will not see this behavior unless you have raised or disabled the limit.
Why raise the subsumption/replacement limit? The subsumption/replacement loop cleans up the set of subgoals produced by the simplifier. For example, if one subgoal is
(implies (and p q r) s) [1]and another is
(implies (and p (not q) r) s) [2]then the subsumption/replacement loop would produce the single subgoal
(implies (and p r) s) [3]instead. This cleanup process is simply skipped when the number of subgoals exceeds the subsumption/replacement limit. But each subgoal must nonetheless be proved. The proofs of [1] and [2] are likely to duplicate much work, which is only done once in proving [3]. So with a low limit, you may find the system quickly produces a set of subgoals but then takes a long time to prove that set. With a higher limit, you may find the set of subgoals to be ``cleaner'' and faster to prove.
Why lower the subsumption/replacement limit? If you see the system go into a ``black hole'' of the sort described above (no output, and few garbage collections), it could due to the subsumption/replacement loop working on a large set of large subgoals. You might temporarily lower the limit so that it begins to print the uncleaned set of subgoals. Perhaps by looking at the output you will realize that some function can be disabled so as to prevent the case explosion. Then raise or disable the limit again!
The second number in the case-split-limitations specifies how many
case splits the simplifier will allow before it begins to shut down
case splitting. In normal operation, when a literal rewrites to a
nest of
IFs, the system simplifies all subsequent literals in
all the contexts generated by walking through the nest in all
possible ways. This can also cause the system to ``go into a black
hole'' printing nothing except garbage collection messages. This
``black hole'' behavior is different from than mentioned above
because space is typically being consumed at a prodigious rate,
since the system is rewriting the literals over and over in many
different contexts.
As the simplifier sweeps across the clause, it keeps track of the
number of cases that have been generated. When that number exceeds
the second number in case-split-limitations, the simplifier stops
rewriting literals. The remaining, unrewritten, literals are copied
over into the output clauses.
IFs in those literals are split
out, but the literals themselves are not rewritten. Each output
clause is then attacked again, by subsequent simplification, and
eventually the unrewritten literals in the tail of the clause will
be rewritten because the earlier literals will stabilize and stop
producing case splits.
The default setting of 100 is fairly low. We have seen successful proofs in which thousands of subgoals were created by a simplification. By setting the second number to small values, you can force the system to case split slowly. For example, a setting of 5 will cause it to generate ``about 5'' subgoals per simplification.
You can read about how the simplifier works in the book Computer-Aided Reasoning: An Approach (Kaufmann, Manolios, Moore). If you think about it, you will see that with a low case limit, the initial literals of a goal are repeatedly simplified, because each time a subgoal is simplified we start at the left-most subterm. So when case splitting prevents the later subterms from being fully split out, we revisit the earlier terms before getting to the later ones. This can be good. Perhaps it takes several rounds of rewriting before the earlier terms are in normal form and then the later terms rewrite quickly. But it could happen that the earlier terms are expensive to rewrite and do not change, making the strategy of delayed case splits less efficient. It is up to you.
Sometimes the simplifier produces more clauses than you might
expect, even with case-split-limitations in effect. As noted above,
once the limit has been exceeded, the simplifier does not rewrite
subsequent literals. But
IFs in those literals are split out
nonetheless. Furthermore, the enforcement of the limit is -- as
described above -- all or nothing: if the limit allows us to rewrite
a literal then we rewrite the literal fully, without regard for
limitations, and get as many cases as ``naturally'' are produced.
It quite often happens that a single literal, when expanded, may
grossly exceed the specified limits.
If the second ``number'' is
nil and the simplifier is going to
produce more than 1000 clauses, a ``helpful little message'' to
this effect is printed out. This output is printed to the
system's ``comment window'' not the standard proofs output.

FIT-AGAIN Adam Henley admits he feels he has a point to prove after two 'terrible' years.
The right back emerged as a player of some promise after bursting onto the scene as a 17-year-old when Rovers were in the Premier League.
But following the club's relegation to the Championship Henley has suffered with injuries.
The Wales U21 international spent the best part of nine months on the sidelines with hamstring problems before ankle ligament damage ruled him out of the final 10 games of last season.
But Henley is now fit and raring to go after returning to pre-season training early in order to try and finally put his injury nightmare behind him.
And having rediscovered his fitness the 20-year-old wants to rediscover his form and earn his place in Gary Bowyer's starting line-up for the big Championship opener at home to Cardiff City on August 8.
"It's good to be back fit and healthy," said Henley, who marked his comeback from his latest layoff by playing 45 minutes in Rovers' 4-0 win at AFC Telford United on Saturday.
"I came back early and did an extra couple of weeks and now I feel really good, really sharp and 100 per fit, which is something I've not been used to.
"It's been a terrible couple of years with injuries. It's been hard to constantly come back from them but hopefully I can get a run going and keep myself fit and healthy for the full season.
"I have to remind myself that I'm still young when I think back a few years ago when I was playing in those big games.
"But the next game is always the biggest and now I've got to keep working at my game and try and get myself in the team for the Cardiff game.
"I really feel this year I have a point to prove. I've been in and out of the team for the last few years but it's not something I want to make a habit of.
"I want to have that starting spot and play week in and week out."
Henley will face competition for his spot.
Rovers boss Bowyer has signed Alex Baptiste from Bolton Wanderers on a season-long loan while he also has the option of playing midfielder Jason Lowe, or even winger Ben Marshall, at right back.
But Henley insists he is relishing the competition.
"It's always good to have competition as it can only make me better battling it out against more experienced players," he said.
"It's something I welcome – whoever it is – because it's good for the team."
Henley, who is part of the Rovers squad currently undergoing warm-weather training in Portugal, added: "There's nothing I can do about the injuries now – I've just got to try and come back stronger.
"As annoying as it has been, it's all good for the experience and hopefully I can use what has happened to help me in the future."

They will come as one file so you just upload that to stubhub and the pages will equal number of tickets. You can split them if you say have 4 and need to just sell 2. If that's the case and you can't figue out drop me a line. Also, you have to download the parking pass seperately if you want to add that. Keep in downloading them once will make your real tickets invalid. Honestly I'd probably do that every time so you could keep your real tickets in mint condition.

…and secure it too.
When Aaron, Matthew and I incepted our Linux classes, we did so with a nebulous aim of offering a course of comprehensive beginner material, with our ultimate, nebulous goal being to offer "more advanced stuff". Well, here we are. I dove into the basics of manipulating the Bash shell, simple scripting, SSH, and confidently administering a headless system as root. In the midst of my preparations for these classes, I had a theatric lightbulb-over-head moment: How hard would it be, really, to turn a desktop into a basic home server? Set aside performance and security concerns for a moment and just consider accessibility and turnaround time to live access on the Internet.
As it turns out, this takes about one hour. Maybe two if you are installing Linux from scratch. All you need to begin is a method to connect your dynamic home IP to a static domain and then a method to remotely access your home server:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
Sign up for a free DynDNS account and domain (remember to complete checkout!).
apt-get install ddclient
Populate three lines in
/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf with:
- Your DynDNS user name.
- Your DynDNS password.
- Your DynDNS domain.
/etc/init.d/ddclient restart
/etc/init.d/ssh start
Now give DynDNS and ddclient about five minutes (on the safe side) to update. Congratulations, you have a live Internet server for your file-access, media streaming, jerking-around-while-at-work, and general geek needs.
Now, we have a server. Locking down its Internet connection? Mmm, ten minutes. It was actually over an hour for me because I was engrossed in crash-learning netfilter/iptables syntax from scratch.
# Clear all existing iptable rules.
iptables -F
iptables -X
# Drop all incoming, outgoing and forwarded packets.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
# Permit loopback activity (client and server programs on this machine).
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
# Permit TCP connections to and from this machine on port 22 (SSH).
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -sport 22 -j ACCEPT
You'll eventually need to open up ports for NTP, mail, DNS and others, but really: This is all there is to it. And because I am awesome, I wrote all of this up on Google Docs and made it freely available for download. Any notes suggesting alterations, additions or deletions can be made directly on the document, or by email to me directly.

Taylor Ramsdell trains Victor Henry, a professional mixed martial arts fighter, and a pro boxer named Zachary Wohlman. Ramsdell also works with regular folks too, at Chain Fitness, his gym near Universal Studios that was built as a speak-easy in the 1930s. For Ramsdell, that mix makes sense: Just check your ego at the door.
What is the significance of the name Chain Fitness and your slogan "Break free"?
At the very beginning, it was a play on words meaning, "You're only as strong as your weakest link." It's all about breaking free from the norm and from whatever is holding you back. It's about breaking free from the status quo in order to find a new you. People are chained to ideas and trends. I don't want people chained to anything. At the same time, you do have to make sure there is rhyme and reason behind the training. You can't be hard just to be hard. That will just lead to overtraining or getting injured.
How much of training is actually mental?
I think a whole lot of training is mental. Without the right attitude, you're never going to make it. No one ever truly knows what they are capable of until someone helps them to see what they can do. Even if someone is an alpha personality, alphas can benefit from someone showing them where their strengths are and building their weaknesses without it becoming a shaming thing. We all have weaknesses. If you feel more confident, then you'll become even healthier and stronger. I have had people come in who don't make eye contact or even performers who are nervous, but they realize "I can do this," and you show them how simple it is with some instructions. Then they see they are capable, and then their goals and results are seen too. Some people have to be shown how to have the right attitude. Some are already elite, but they want to be more elite. Some people have a trainer just to find motivation. I want to give motivation, but I also want to instill something into the person. I want them to lead a life outside of the gym that is more successful too, so that training is also about overall character building.
Diets from zero carbohydrate to eating for one's blood type have become trendy. What kind of diet works best?
I do not agree with the whole zero-carb thing. You have to have carbs. You have to have a balance of protein, fat and carbs. People need to keep it real. No one needs to do crazy stuff, and nobody can stick to that anyway. It will just cause someone to flip-flop back. My secret recipe is four words, "Diet and exercise work." That is it. But it is good to have someone to educate you on the diet and to take you through the exercises that you need to do and to do them correctly to get results. If you are on a good,
What about the popular idea of having a cheat meal once a week?
The way I look at diet is an 80-to-20 ratio, where 80% is good and 20% is not as good. With that said, you deserve a cheat meal when you've been eating at 100%. But also it doesn't have to be one day a week. The way I promote fitness and healthy lifestyles is, 'What is your life? What do you do for a living? Do you go out to eat every single night? Are you a performer on the road all the time?' As a trainer, you have to make it work for that person. For the cheat meal, if that is your 20% for the week, then that is your 20%. It comes down to being honest with yourself. But sometimes people take the cheat meal way too far. ... People can go out for wine and pizza with their friends, but then the next day they should return to eating healthfully.
Why did you want to start your own training studio instead of training out of established gyms?
I wanted to not have a cookie-cutter type of gym. I wanted to step outside of the box and mix new techniques with old-school stuff to create programs specifically designed for each individual person and their unique needs and desires. Also there can be a lot of ego at a lot of gyms. But, at Chain Fitness, you can have a professional athlete, a rock star and a teacher all in here at the same time and, while it is private training, everyone leaves their ego at the door. There's no ego here. Just fun.

Now the US space program has really jumped the shark. The Space Shuttle Discovery will carry into space Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, a prop used in Star Wars. The entire journey of this movie prop will be accompanied with crazy fanfare—from prop shop to space and back—all in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the 1977 premiere of the first Star Wars movie.
The movie prop will be given the star treatment, handed over by an actor dressed in a Chewbacca suit to Space Center officials—presumably the instigators of this shameless publicity stunt—to be carried to Houston. There the lightsaber will be met by other actors dressed as Stormtroopers, and along with an R2-D2 robot, will accompany the sacred weapon to a museum where it'll be kept until it's launched aboard Space Shuttle Discovery on October 23.
Here's a message for the space program: Star Wars was a work of fiction, a movie, and didn't really happen. And if it did, Luke Skywalker would wonder where this space shuttle was going with this fictional object. "Low Earth orbit? A movie prop is going aboard a space station? Really?" So now the problem-plagued space shuttle has nothing better to do than carry toy fictional props back and forth into space? And just who's paying for this? Pathetic. [Houston Business Journal]

A Near-Consensus Decision Keeps U.N. Climate Process Alive and Moving Ahead
By LISA FRIEDMAN of ClimateWire
Published: December 13, 2010

CANCUN, Mexico -- World leaders this weekend hailed an agreement on climate change that commits all major economies to greenhouse gas emission cuts and launches a fund to help vulnerable countries while sidestepping political land mines like the future of the Kyoto Protocol.
The Cancun Agreements, as the two documents are being dubbed, effectively put meat on the bones of the 12-paragraph Copenhagen Accord that world leaders crafted in Denmark last year. The deal was finished by bleary-eyed diplomats from 193 countries with the exception of Bolivia at 3:15 a.m. Saturday amid a standing ovation. It does not ensure the emission cuts scientists say are needed to avert catastrophic global warming.
But ministers and activists alike said the agreements restored much-needed confidence in the multilateral system and laid the groundwork for serious technology developments to help poorer countries deploy low-carbon energy. For the first time in an official U.N. agreement, countries agreed to keep temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and acknowledged that the emission cut pledges America, China and others made in Copenhagen should be just a beginning.
"The last 24 hours, what we have seen is no less than a miracle," said Maldivian Minister of Environment Mohamed Aslam, whose country of low-lying atolls in the Indian Ocean has led the moral charge for climate action.
"It's a good one," Aslam said of the agreement. "It has all of the elements we have been wanting. Not in as strong language as we would have liked, but it leaves room for strengthening things next year," he said.
As diplomats in the plenary room above made final, pre-dawn tweaks to text, exhausted ministers awaited the final gavel in the lobby of the luxurious Moon Palace hotel. Chinese Minister Xie Zhenhua, his chin to his chest, caught a few minutes of sleep as other members of his delegation dozed and chatted. Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh chatted with a group of Indian journalists who, he said, were accusing him of "caving in to the United States." Brazilian Environment Minister Izabella Teixeira sat with staff, glasses perched on her nose, reading reports.
"Of course we have a decision that is not perfect, but I think we have a balanced package here. We have good results," Teixeira said.
Jubilation and relief
Throughout the halls, the mood was a mixture of jubilation and relief. Few cast the Cancun Agreements as major step forward, but most said it did repair the damage done to the U.N. climate negotiations by the chaotic and contentious meeting last year in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"We've definitely exorcised the ghost of Copenhagen," said Alden Meyer, director of policy and strategy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, as he hopped back on crutches from the Moon Palace after the initial vote.
"The emotion is a little ahead of the substance, but that's OK. It's a good night," Meyer said. Angela Anderson, director of the Climate Action Network, called it a Copenhagen "do-over."
With U.S. congressional attention barely focused on international climate talks, it remains unclear what impact, if any, the deal will have domestically.
"Nobody knows what the shape of the new Congress is going to be, but it's a positive thing to see a worldwide agreement," said U.S. envoy Todd Stern, calling the agreements a "generally helpful development."
Indeed, analysts say, after what Stern called a "challenging, tiring week of consultations," the Obama administration emerged from Cancun with just about everything it wanted.
The overriding goal for the United States, Stern said, was to ensure that the Copenhagen Accord agreement that Obama and leaders of China, India, Brazil and South Africa crafted last year survived and took definitive shape. That agreement recorded the promises of major emitting countries to cut carbon and develop a monitoring system to track success or failure. Industrialized countries, meanwhile, would deliver $30 billion in near-term climate aid while raising $100 billion annually by 2020 for vulnerable nations.
But arriving in the resort town of Cancun last month, negotiators for the United States and China remained at loggerheads over what kind of monitoring system China would accept to verify its emission cut claims. The final agreement closely mirrors a proposal by Indian Environment Minister Ramesh of international consultations and analysis.
"I couldn't say exactly the point where the Chinese came to see this as quite a positive thing. The Chinese are always extremely tough negotiators. They're very tough and very good. I absolutely commend the Chinese for the steps they took on this issue," Stern said.
In return, the United States signed off on the creation of a global green fund and the creation of an adaptation framework, and agreed to help establish a Climate Technology center and a series of hubs to pump up investment in clean technology and strengthen the abilities of developing countries to deploy it.
'Very good' from U.S. point of view
"This is very good from our point of view," Stern said. "This was the U.S. strategic vision and plan we had in 2010 when we returned from Copenhagen."
Despite the widely hailed agreement, though, environmental activists and several developing country negotiators said the United States may have gotten its way but won few friends at this round of talks. With no road map for meeting its promises of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and with a Republican Congress gunning to strip foreign aid and largely skeptical of climate science altogether, American negotiators remained insistent that countries give in on a range of issues.
In addition to winning concessions on transparency from China, the United States avoided having to be equally transparent about how it will meet its own emission pledge. It also established the World Bank as the interim trustee of the Green Fund, over the objections of many developing nations, and a board half composed of donor countries.
But the biggest sticking point for the United States was getting an agreement from China on transparency.
Ailun Yang, director of climate policy for Greenpeace China, said that at several points, America threatened to shut down hours of grueling progress on finance, technology and other issues because it wasn't seeing what it wanted from China.
"It would have been good if the U.S. had also agreed to improve the transparency of their actions," Yang said.
Negotiators said there wasn't a single moment when the talks seemed to turn. Rather, they said, it was the Mexican host government's insistence on cloistering diplomats for long stretches of time and deftly creating small working groups while throwing open the door to any country that wanted to step in and be heard.
The result, analysts said, was that developing nations -- and in particular, the left-leaning Latin American group known as ALBA countries that helped block the Copenhagen Accord after being shut out of talks -- felt included.
"The Mexican approach wore 'em down," said Ned Helme, president of the Center for Clean Air Policy.
Horse-trading played a part, too, of course, said India's Ramesh -- though he declined to provide specifics.
"The confidence level in the outcome was at rock bottom at lunch, because there was nothing coming out," he told ClimateWire. "This wouldn't have happened without backroom dealing and cajoling."
U.N. process 'lives to fight another day'
Ramesh called the agreement "a small step for the fight against climate change," but added, "the multilateral process lives to fight another day."
Not that the agreement is without naysayers. In a series of lengthy filibustering speeches -- the U.N. equivalent to reading the phone book on the Senate floor -- Bolivian negotiator Pablo Solon railed against the pact as "totally inadequate."
A 2-degree rise in temperatures above pre-industrial levels, he said, is "not acceptable," and he called unsuccessfully for more meetings to set in stone levels of emission cuts expected by industrialized countries.
But in a deft procedural move, Mexican Environment Minister Patricia Espinosa, serving as president of the conference, noted Bolivia's objection but insisted that the consensus of 193 other nations allowed her to gavel the deal.
It was a marked contrast from Copenhagen, as well as the U.N. climate conference in Bali, Indonesia, three years ago, when U.S. objections brought all movement to a standstill and nations begged the United States to at least just abstain. That conference ended with the United States bowing to pressure after one delegate told America to "lead or get out of the way."
U.N. leaders early Saturday morning insisted that rules demanding "consensus" were followed. "I don't know when this happened that consensus became unanimity," said Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. But analysts said the realpolitik of diplomacy reigned.
"In Bali, the chair decided having the cooperation of the United States was essential," while the same assessment was not made about Bolivia this year, said Michael Levi, a senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations.
"It's a political judgment. It's a political decision in the best sense of the word," he said.
Meanwhile, the agreement finessed the largest problem looming over the talks: Will the Kyoto Protocol live or die?
Japan dropped a bomb on the climate talks on the opening day when it announced it would not take targets under a second commitment period of the treaty that begins in 2011. The agreement reached Saturday does not force it to.
Japanese Ambassador Shinsuke Sugiyama told ClimateWire that Japan didn't compromise its position. "I don't think Japan's position is in any way undermined or is forced to be altered," he said. "We are able to keep our position untouched."
But that also means the fight will remain a major issue throughout the year. With the first commitment period expiring in 2012, this is the last year that negotiators will be able to punt on what future lies ahead for Kyoto.
South Africa's Minister for Water and Environmental Affairs, Edna Molewa, told ClimateWire that is "the most important issue" that negotiators will face when they meet in her country next year.
But while much work needs to be done between now and the Durban conference, she said the "building blocks are now on the table" for ever-stronger climate agreements.
"The bar has been raised, and we have to work hard to deliver," Molewa said. "We are very optimistic. This process must never, ever go down again. The bar must keep going up and up and up."

Discovery of Nanotubes
The mini - documentary describes the discovery of nanotubes
in 1991. It relates their structure to their function and
shows various models and images of these interesting molecules.
Video program cues: 0:30-4:30
Technological applications
"One of the first really big excitements
about what these might be good for, had nothing to do with
large scale materials or large scale synthesis. It was based
on the idea that if you visualize an individual tube as
being made by just taking an individual graphite layer of
chicken-wire and rolling it up, what you get for a nanotube
depends on how you do the cutting of the little rectangle
that eventually is going to be rolled up into a tube

There are a lot of things that we can potentially
put inside nanotubes. Molecules that are bioactive

Sometimes I wonder why I am nearly 29 years old and still have to battle with acne. Since I started getting monstrous forehead zits in eighth grade, I've tried every product out there and found that, when I don't do anything but wash my face with soap and water, my skin actually kinda clears up a bit. What gives?
Turns out that I just don't have the right kind of bacteria on my face.
Scientists at UCLA, along with researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, have discovered that there are actually two kinds of acne-related bacteria. There's the one many of us know all too well, the bad, zit-creating bacteria. But there's also a mystifying "good" bacteria that fights off the stuff that clogs up your pores.
This pimple-fighting miracle bacteria is usually found on healthy, clear skin, typically on the faces the lucky 20 percent of people who only get a random zit here and there over the course of their lives. (Hate. You. Guys.)
So, scientists want to use these findings to help prevent acne before it starts, perhaps with a probiotic cream or treatment that will eat away all that bad stuff on our skin. All I know is, I'll definitely be first in line to try it.

Colors and denim harmonize perfectly in the Madewell lifestyle.
Madewell opened its doors in Tennessee in Saddle Creek last Tuesday. Known for it's high quality denim, this is the store for the gal who craves effortless chic in her life. Easy for a young girl but great for moms too who want to look pulled together in familiar fabrics with tailored details. Also-they have the BEST denim cut offs.
Here's the Madewell uniform per se: super soft t's with denim cut offs...all in every color.
Here's a tote that I'm totally consumed with...
...and easy, colorful belts.
Aside from the obvious, the *other* best part about the Madewell opening was getting to meet so many other local fashion bloggers. Such a cool little community of young, bright, and stylish women converged and then wrote all about it in their own singular styles...here are a few links to other fashion blogs you may enjoy:
www.pennyweightblog.com Elise Jacobs of PennyWeight is one of the superstars of the fashion/lifestyle bogging world and she came from Nashville to celebrate with us. All of these blogs are created by some of the coolest young gals around.

Doodling led me to experiment with collagraph printing. Inspired by everyday objects, shapes and patterns, a combination of random textures creates abstract aerial views of landscapes, on a base structure of string. Heavily textured chine colle paper breaks up the composition of the larger prints, creating a natural and earthy collage resembling the unusual patterns that surround us.

NZ Canadian publisher looks for slice of Waiheke
Property Here - Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Auckland real estate agent Graham Wall is looking for a Waiheke Island property for Canadian businessman and magazine editor Tyler Brule.
Wall said the Canadian journalist, entrepreneur, and magazine publisher who is the editor-in-chief of Monocle magazine was so impressed with Auckland and the island when he visited a few weeks ago that he asked Wall to find him a place.
Brule became wealthy by founding another magazine, Wallpaper, and selling it to Time.
He wrote what he called a love letter to Auckland in the Financial Times last month saying that he could not stop thinking about his wonderful weekend here.
"While I thoroughly enjoyed our first encounter in late 2011, this time was different and you were on better form - the sun was out, your locals were looking fit and tanned and there was this wonderful feeling of a city still on summer holiday but also getting on with work at the same time," Brule wrote in theFinancial Times piece.
He had high expectations and the island was an absolute charmer.
"But it really went far beyond what I'd imagined. The logistics going over are a bit complicated [there's definitely room for someone to start a proper water taxi service around the bay] but once you get there it's hard to believe you're still officially in the city," he wrote.
"From the moment I stepped off the boat I was already keen to look at real estate and get a read on what properties are selling for. With its rolling hills and dry(er) climate, it reminded me a lot of Tuscany.
"The many vineyards dotted around the island also had me thinking about a fuller lifestyle overall [the idea being to own a vineyard rather than just drinking more wine later in life]."

My second son, Charles, is almost 6 feet tall. I am only 5 foot 8 inches tall, so he is much taller than me. My other sons are about 5 foot 11 inches tall. They all tower over me.
But the other day, my second son was playing basketball and had to guard a person who was 6 foot 6 inches tall, much taller and heavier than my son. He towered over my son.
My point is that there is always someone bigger, always someone heavier, always someone faster. If you compete head to head (based on size, weight, speed, etc.), you might win or you might lose. If you are my size, the odd are that you will lose.
And you never know when an attacker might have a weapon. You might be taller, heavier, and faster than him, but a knife or other weapon has a way of changing the equation, especially if you do not see it.
But even a taller person has weak eyes. Even a heavier person has weak testicles. Even a faster person has knees that can be strained or broken. It is possible to exploit a stronger person's weaknesses.
It is easy for me to keep in mind that there are always taller, heavier, faster and stronger people out there. My sons have to keep this in mind too. Even a person who is 6 foot 6 inches tall may encounter a bigger attacker. And even a giant has to worry when there are two or more attackers.
When I was a child in Misawa Air Force Base, Japan, I studied Judo. When I started, I was among the shortest students. The only way I could win was to get in close. From that time until today, I consider that to be one of the most important principles in martial arts. It certainly applies to Karate. When I say close, I mean literally crashing into the attacker -- trying to move through him. At that range, my height is actually an advantage.
