March 2 – Happy Birthday Danny Hoffman
Jason Giambi was the last Yankee to do it in 2003. Before him, you have to go all the way back to 1960, when Mickey Mantle did it. Mantle did it four more times during the fifties and still holds the Yankee record for doing it most. Charley Keller did it in 1946. Joe Gordon did it during his MVP season with the Yankees in 1942. Frankie Crosetti did it a couple of times during the thirties. The great Babe Ruth did it four times during the 1920′s and Bob Meusel and Aaron Ward joined him by doing it one time each. Before they did it, Wally Pipp had accomplished the feat in 1917 and a Highlander shortstop named Neal Ball had also done it in 1908. But the very first player in New York Yankee franchise history to lead the American League in most strikeouts by a hitter in the regular season was their starting center fielder in 1907 and today's Pinstripe Birthday Celebrant, Daniel John "Danny" Hoffman.
Hoffman was a gifted athlete who had great speed, a strong arm and a better than average bat. A native of Connecticut, he had made his big league debut as a 23-year-old outfielder with Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's in 1903. Two years later, he led the AL in stolen bases with 46. One month into the 1906 regular season, Mack traded Hoffman to New York for a guy named Dave Fultz. Danny then joined Wee Willie Keeler and Wid Conroy in the Highlanders' starting outfield. 1907 turned out to be his only full season with the team and it was a good one despite all those strikeouts. Hoffman established career highs in base hits (131), runs (81), HRs (5) and RBI's (46). But that didn't prevent him from getting traded to the St. Louis Browns as part of a six-player deal that took place in early November of 1907.
In addition to striking out a lot, Hoffman also had another unfortunate propensity. He got hit by lots of pitches, especially in the head. He had been knocked unconscious by one when he was with the A's in 1904 and he got plunked 13 times during his only full season with New York in '07. He continued playing in the big leagues until 1911 and then returned to the minors for four more years after that. His career was ended by a severe head beaning during a 1915 game with the Wilkes Barre Barons. Hoffman died just seven years later at the young age of 42.
In addition to being the first Yankee to lead the league in strikeouts, Hoffman is the only Yankee in history to have killed a horse during a baseball game. It happened in 1902, when Hoffman was playing minor league ball for a team in Springfield and hit a drive to the outfield that struck and killed the animal. Now I haven't been able to confirm this with my research yet, but the nickname of that Springfield team was the Ponies so I'm thinking the horse Danny's drive killed that day just might have been his team's own mascot. Talk about a bad omen huh?
In any event, Hoffman shares his birthday with this 1950 NL MVP.

Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, was the best place on earth for a boy to grow up in. Most of my early years were spent on a farm, and most every boy that grew up on a farm in Africa had as his first friends and companions the sons of the farm labourers. I was no exception. Together we roamed free, hunting with catapults bows and arrows and terrorising everything that moved. We spoke the same language and were seldom home before dark. I had a horse and shared my bed with my two large dogs. I was given my first .22 rifle on my tenth birthday. Then came the shock of boarding school in Bulawayo, a name that means 'place of slaughter.'
My treasured rifle was confiscated on the first day by the matron and I was caned on the second. Hunting was not on the curriculum. At school I was a dismal failure. My talents leaned more towards dreaming than academia, and the books I learned the most from were written by Zane Grey and Capt.W.E. Johns. These were usually read late at night in one of the toilets by the light of a candle.
After four years of failing at boarding school, I had four years of spectacular success at the more satisfying pursuits of beer, girls and Rock 'n Roll. I learned to play the guitar and joined a band at the time when Elvis and the Beatles ruled. I read The Silent World by Jacques Cousteau, took up diving, and new horizons beckoned.
The first horizon culminated at the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco; the headquarters of Jacques Cousteau. I had to fill in a lengthy questionnaire as to why I wanted to see him, which I ignored, simply writing at the top that I had come five thousand miles from Africa to work for him. Astonishingly, he agreed to see me, a humbling experience. Even more astonishing was that he agreed to employ me. Not as a diver on the Calypso as I had hoped – he already had more than enough divers – but at the museum, refurbishing aquariums and cleaning the sea-lion pools. He tried to get me into Club Med and other tourist type diving work, but under French law at the time I was not allowed to work in France. For a month Cousteau paid me out of his own pocket, then paid my fare back to London. A great man.
With that dream in shreds, and the British weather beginning to pall, I looked around for fresh horizons. These expanded over the next four years into a full-blown circumnavigation. Accompanied by a friend I immigrated to Canada and tried dairy farming, only to discover that cows, and most of the farmers, had no conception of reasonable hours, weekends or holidays.
Becoming a cowboy on a ranch in British Columbia suited me better. I could ride again, and herding cows was better than milking them. Then came winter and a new, summery horizons came into view; a mirage of grass skirts, coconut palms and blue water.
Defying the Canadian authorities, who unrealistically insisted I repay the fare owed to them before leaving Canada, I found work on a Norwegian cargo boat and departed, first for Hawaii, then Samoa. But nobody had warned me about seasickness. At Rarotonga the mirage became real, with palms, turquoise water, and girls galore. I decided to stay. Unfortunately, there was a law against this. The police broke down the door of the hut in which the girl was hiding me and I was bundled out, half naked, rushed through the palm groves with a policeman on each arm, and all but thrown onto the waiting pilot boat, which then raced off to catch the ship which had already sailed.
Undeterred, I made good my escape in New Zealand, jumping ship in Auckland and working in that country for the next year and a half, until Australia beckoned from just over the horizon. To leave, I had to surrender to the wharf police, who had an outstanding warrant for my arrest. I appeared in court wearing suits, waistcoat and tie, and this must have worked. The Norwegian shipping company wanted me to pay costs, but the Judge ruled against them. There was no provision under the act, he said, for British subjects deserting foreign ships in British territorial waters. Sometimes, the law is not such an ass.
I spent a year in Australia (legally), diving in Sydney's Balmain Harbour for broken moorings, working on a sheep station, cane cutting in Queensland (even worse than milking), and tending the bar at South Mole Island on the Barrier Reef. Then it was back to Rhodesia, where I got married and took up flying. With the travel bug still nibbling, my wife and I moved to Australia where I did my Commercial Pilot's license. I flew for a mining company based in Marble Bar, aerial prospecting, then aerial mustering cattle for an adjoining property.
When my wife became pregnant with twin girls, it was time to get serious. The doctor who delivered the twins, was also the president of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and through him I got a job as the base pilot at Meekatharra in West Australia. They were exciting and often rewarding times. Then my father became ill and it was back to Rhodesia.
It was 1973 and the first rumblings of the Bush war. Territorial call-ups had begun. Saturated with flying, I joined the Police Reserve Anti-Terrorist Unit (PATU), then later did a Selous Scouts course on Tracking and bushcraft and joined an army reserve tracking unit. When the war ended it was obvious where the country was headed, and with the girls just thirteen and a son of seven, the children were still young enough to adjust, we decided to return to Australia. Foreign currency was at a premium. All we were allowed to take out of the country was eight hundred dollars and a container of our possessions.
Starting again with a family of five in another country without money is all uphill, and it took us a climb of some twenty years to get to the top again, along with a few landslides along the way. I started writing twenty five years ago, when I was with the Flying Doctor Service, doing a novel course with Stotts then buying every book I could find on the subject. Now that I have more time and a wealth of life experience behind me, the passion is building once more. Writing is the new horizon; a way to adventure once more without the unpleasant or risky bits.

The owners of the renowned open source project announced the availability Blender 2.63 , the latest version of this software for 3D modeling and design that comes with important developments.
most prominent of these is BMesh , a system that completely reinvents how Blender manages the geometry, which allows models and are not limited to triangles or squares, polygons that may have any number of sides.
addition there is a new tool solution to remove vertices, edges and other elements without causing the creation of holes in these meshes (meshes), and a new tool "knife" ("Knife") that takes advantage of these polygons with n-sides to create clean cuts.
The release notes also add support in Cycles of a panoramic camera and textures with floating point precision, among other innovations. The Motion Tracker feature registration and motion capture has also been improved with the introduction of a 2D image stabilization system, and there are improvements at the time to hide portions of the mesh to sculpt.
You can checkall the improvements in the official notes of the version, and you can download Blender for any platform which is available on the official download site. I recommend taking a look at this video which takes a tour of these developments.

There's more filling in these than the ones you buy and much less expensive. We didn't include the water chestnuts or the Chinese mushrooms because my 2 teenage boys (who are second generation Chinese-Canadians and love Chinese cuisine as much as the Chinese from HK or China) didn't think it would taste right, but the egg rolls still tasted great.

No it's completely soft shell, like one piece of moulded rubber. However it feels quite solid when fitted to the iPhone 4 and provides excellent grip.

This case is a TPU case (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) that is a scientific term for a "soft plastic" case. It is flexible but won't stretch or rip.

I had worked up enough motivation (and frankly, strength) to decide to hammer out my eye exercises at work to gain control of that stereopsis feeling. I've been trying to observe regular places such as home and work in stereopsis to remember the feeling and run with it, as per the request of my doctor.

More on storms sweeping across the U.S.Christian Gooden / St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP
A section of Big Bend Road in Richmond Heights, Mo., is abandoned on Monday, Feb. 28, during the usual morning rush hour after overnight storms knocked down a series of utility poles. According to the AP, the National Weather Service suspects at least two tornadoes touched down in eastern Missouri; one near Gray Summit in Franklin County, the other in south St. Louis County. No serious injuries were reported in Missouri, but more than 30,000 homes and businesses were still without power by midmorning Monday, according to the utility Ameren Corp.
Christian Gooden / St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP
The sidewalk along Big Bend Blvd. that anchors a utility pole came up under stress as overnight weather knocked several utility poles down along the stretch of road that runs from Wise Ave. to Clayton Rd. on Monday in Richmond Heights, Mo.

When politicians want to spend trillions of dollars of other people's money, it's hard not to notice – as the around-the-clock coverage of the Supreme Court's recent rulring on "Obamacare" illustrated.
But public officials' willingness to impose their desires on somebody else's wallet is just as dangerous on a smaller and more local scale, precisely because it sounds so reasonable.
There is no doubt that the May closure of the Scott's food store on North Anthony Boulevard imposed a hardship on any number of people: the Kroger Co., which operated the store; Rogers Family Properties, which owns the building forced to close because of structural problems; customers forced to shop elsewhere and others. But when two local politicians and the heads of several neighborhood associations wrote a letter last month imploring Cincinnati-based Kroger to keep the store open to serve the area that has "faithfully patronized your facility," they glossed over one important point:
Businesses exist for one reason only: to earn a profit for their owners. And because appeals to corporate altruism cannot change that, people who want to save the neighborhood grocery should be asking themselves a more difficult but infinitely more constructive question:
What can we do to convince Kroger that reopening the store is in its best economic interest?
Before problems with the roof were detected in May, there was no indication the location was to be included in Kroger's recent consolidation of local stores despite the presence of a much-larger Kroger facility just one mile away. Spokesman John Elliott said the Anthony location was performing well for a store without a fuel center or internal pharmacy (its pharmacy is in a separate building).
But whatever economic model was in place before the store closed may no longer apply because of the unknown but substantial cost of repair or replacement – money Rogers can't spend without a longer-term lease from Kroger, which is understandably reluctant to commit to a lengthy deal without a favorable cost-benefit analysis.
Until and unless Rogers and Kroger can reach a mutually beneficial deal – and the two sides are expected to meet soon – all the posturing in the world won't do anything but generate headlines.
To be fair, the letter authored by City Councilman Russ Jehl and co-signed by State Rep. Win Moses does offer to "do all that is possible to assist the Kroger Co. in the restoration of the property." But as Jehl noted, Kroger has not sought financial help from the city and there is no guarantee it would be provided even if requested. And Jehl said city subsidies would make him "uncomfortable" --properly so.
Instead, Jehl said the letter's purpose was three-fold – none of them directly related to economics: to open a dialogue with Kroger, to empower the neighborhood and to "make sure Kroger understands what a decision made in an Indianapolis boardroom means to a neighborhood in Fort Wayne."
But Elliott said Kroger officials already understand that many of the store's customers live close by and would be reluctant to shop elsewhere, Even so, there is little evidence that the store's closure has had a negative impact on nearby businesses.
"When I moved five doors down (closer to Scott's) 14 years ago," I saw a big difference in sales," said Dennis Hutchings, co-owner of the Abba House Christian book and gift store at 3209 N. Anthony. Sales have not slowed noticeably since the closure, "but summers are slow anyway," he added. "I do hope they stay. I shop there."
So does MJ's Pizza co-owner Anna Davis, who is no longer able to run down to Scotts when she runs out of lettuce or other ingredients. "I have heard complaints from neighbors, especially from older people," she said.
Added Jeff Atz, whose family has operated an ice cream and food shop on North Anthony since 1956: "I have heard comments from people who say they won't shop on Clinton. That store has been convenient for us and for our customers."
If enough customers would indeed boycott Kroger's Clinton store to shop even farther away, that would provide an incentive to reopen. But a better goal would be for Jelh and others to make the location as attractive to Kroger as possible. As Jehl noted, the city could do such things as improve traffic access and expedite approval if reconstruction is necessary.
Good business deals don't tug at heartstrings. But they do offer the best long-term assurance that companies will be able to protect jobs, pay taxes and provide the services on which their customers depend.

The private cloud helps enterprises and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) reduce capital spending and decrease their IT operational workloads. However, not all companies poised to leverage their virtual infrastructures are eager to do so. The right approach can make the difference between selling a client on private cloud deployment and closing the door on a potential deal.
The worries that keep your reluctant clients awake at night
Many CEOs and business executives hear the word "cloud" and shut down. This misunderstood buzzword can sometimes raise roadblocks with stakeholders. Therefore, consider leading with a benefits discussion. What do your clients care about? They want to:
- Drive down costs, improve customer service and provide competitive advantage.
- Deploy showback and costing models that ultimately translate into lower total cost of ownership.
- Build on the flexibility, agility and cost savings available in their virtual environments.
The private cloud addresses all of these concerns. When you discuss private clouds with enterprises and SMBs, stress the fact that this is more than an infrastructure investment. Instead, deploying a private cloud can be the means to fulfill many of a business' most pressing concerns, and it doesn't have to be a lengthy process.
[Related: Private Vs. Public Vs. Hybrid: My Cloud's Better Than Yours]
By this point, many of your clients have accepted server and storage virtualization. It is the solution provider's job now to explain that virtualization is only a stepping-stone in a company's evolution to delivering infrastructure as a value-added, on-demand service. Making this move requires people, processes and technology. When MSPs and VARs put all three of those elements together for clients, companies will be more receptive to adoption.
Once you position the private cloud as a cost-saving, agility-building move that leverages existing investments, you can begin a conversation about operational efficiency and speed. These are equally powerful concepts to share with IT and business leaders who might be on the fence about infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and the private cloud. That discussion should include these four facts.
1) Cloud maturity fosters competitive advantage. The cloud is not just an infrastructure investment, but also a way to drive down costs and improve customer service with a repeatable, standardized and highly optimized process. Elevate your infrastructure conversations to arguments about competitive advantage and speed to market. Then, perform a cloud-readiness assessment to determine where process improvements need to be made and which tools and roadmaps make the most sense for the client.
2) Private cloud management platforms map to a company's specific needs. Recommend solutions that clients can easily pilot based on their gap analysis. Choose management platforms that can quickly and effectively deliver private cloud computing competencies that align with the customer's needs. This is also an opportunity to highlight private cloud features such as self-service provisioning, IT costing and showback, and service catalogs.
3) Cloud management improves data center performance. Emphasize the value of speed, agility and simplification in terms of data center management and performance. Cloud management solutions calculate costs, automate routine administrative tasks and help optimize the performance and configuration of the virtual data center. This is the natural next stage for the work your clients have already done in their virtual environments, so make the point that the private cloud builds on the performance improvements clients have already gained.
4) The private cloud creates efficiency. Cloud deployments make it easier to monitor, measure and manage IT consumption. The IT team becomes more productive because business users can provision their own resources as appropriate.
Once you've covered the above points, get ready to address any lingering concerns prospects have about the private cloud and cloud management. They will expect you to make a business and technical case. Explain that transitioning to the cloud can be a painless process for companies that pick the right partners and solutions.

I usualyl love Benefit products. This one smells amazing and makes my face really smooth, but unfortunately it made me break out all over my face. I have really sensitive skin, so that happens on occasion for me, but I was not expecting that from a Benefit product.
I love the feel of this product. It goes on light and easy. It sinks right into your skin so it doesn't leave a greasy residue. My skin feels great after using this. I like the scent too.
This product glides on nicely, you need about 3 pumps to cover the face and neck. I like the SPF protection but I don't see that it's broad spectrum, which protects from both UVA and UVB harmful rays, so beware. My face becomes oily towards the end of the day, but I have combo skin. Would probably be great for someone with dry/normal skin.
This is my first experience with Benefit, and I'm happy to report that it was all I could have hoped for: a light-weight moisturizer that doesn't feel cake-y, light and refreshing fragrance, and all the benefits that come with a great moisturizer, all while leaving my skin healthy and oil-free! I'll buy this again in a heartbeat!
love this i have extremly oily skin and is perfect balance for my skin love this brand will always buy
An addictive moisturizer that smells awesome. Love the non-greasy feel and doesn't take much. Can't do without now. LOVE Benefit products!
I love the feel of this moisturizer. It's lightweight without feeling watery, it has a nice subtle scent, and it doesn't break out my sensitive skin.
My skin is, however, extremely dry. Especially for the winter, I'll need something more heavy duty to combat dry skin. I would definitely recommend this product for someone who doesn't have very, very dry skin!
Also, the packaging is lovely--the bottle looks so pretty sitting on my vanity!
I love the smell of this lotion. At first I thought the bottle was small for the price,however this lotion lasts, and doesn't take much to cover my entire face. My skin feels hydrated, and doesn't make me break out!
Moisturizer is non-greasy and the smell is amazing. I love using a product on my face that is light and smells great! You'll be amazed by the power in this tiny bottle. One squirt does the trick and covers my whole face!
Great moisturizer, great scent! Leaves skin feeling very hydrated and soft!

Ashley grimaces. She really wants to spit out the vegetables she has just put in her mouth--they are horribly bitter. But politeness forbids. After all, the man from Cameroon and his wife have invited her to their home for dinner. And strangely, her hosts seem to be savoring the spinachlike ndole, a favorite from their homeland, which can be found in some specialty stores under the name "bitterleaf."
That's certainly the right name, Ashley has just discovered. But how can the experience be so different for her? Because the way individuals perceive flavors is determined not only by cultural familiarity but by molecular biology as well. Researchers are finding that genes activate very different sensitivities in each person's set of taste buds. Ultimately these reactions are responsible for the "tastes" we perceive in our brains, especially bitterness. As scientists learn more, executives at food manufacturing companies are experimenting with special compounds that could cover up unpleasant flavors that turn some people off healthful foods. And

Definition of morphology in English
Pronunciation: /mɔːˈfɒlədʒi/
noun ( plural morphologies)
mid 19th century: from Greek morphē 'form' + -logy
The study of how words are built up and how they change according to their use in sentences. With syntax it forms the grammar of the language. This can be shown in the following sentence:Bharati's words gave him an idea. Morphology tells us, for example, that the plural of the nounword is formed by adding the letter 's', and that the verbgive is irregular and its past tense is gave. Syntax tells us that the sentence is simple and is made up of a subject, verb, indirect object, and direct object.

Why Support?
As a private foundation, the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum relies on the vital support of private individuals to achieve its mission of educating students, teachers, scholars, and visitors from around the world about President Wilson, his legacy, and his times. By joining the Presidential Library's League of Friends at whatever level possible, supporters can sustain the programs and exhibits the Presidential Library offers 360 days each year on campus and year-round on the web. Your contributions support educational programming like the "Journey Into History" summer camp, which ignites a passion for history in our younger visitors. Your support also engages adults with institutes for teachers, symposia for scholars, enhancement and preservation of our collections of Wilson and Wilson-related artifacts and documents, development of the Wilson e-Library on-line digital archive, and the Manse and Museum visitor experience, including our new World War I exhibit. Support is particularly crucial now, as we prepare for the upcoming centennials of President Wilson's election and presidency. Our new membership program involves new benefits for members, and we encourage you to review the membership levels and join today.
Your support is important because it allows the WWPL to increase awareness and understanding of the life, principles, and accomplishments of Woodrow Wilson for future generations through the preservation of his birthplace, a museum addressing his life, and a library and archive of Wilson-related artifacts and documents. All of this allows us to carry on President Wilson's message of public service, governmental responsibility, and international engagement. The WWPL is not part of the federal Presidential Library system. Therefore, your support is critical because it helps us present visitors with an engaging and educating experience. Not only is your generous support important, but it is appreciated!
**The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library is an independent not-for-profit organization that has been qualified by the Federal Internal Revenue Service as an IRC 501(c)(3) organization. The IRS has also determined that the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library is not a private foundation within the meaning of 509 (a) of the Code.**

The Limit by Michael Cannell
Just finished reading this book. If you're at all interested in the history of 50s/60s sports car and F1 racing, I strongly recommend it.
The book is "about" the 1961 F1 season and the championship battle between Phil Hill and Count Wolfgang von Trips, both driving for Ferrari. But in order to tell that story, Cannell basically tells the life stories of Hill and von Trips, while touching on many other drivers, Enzo Ferrari and other personalities in the sport. It's not technical at all. The descriptions of on-track action and car development and technology are brief and simple. It's a story about the people, not the cars. And it's a terrific read. We see all we have in racing these days, helmets, nomex, roll cages, fire systems, HANS, SAFER barriers, etc. And it's just staggering to read how these guys raced (and often died or were maimed), how spectators stood right by the track (and often paid the price), and how it was just part of the sport. Absolutely amazing. These drivers were men of remarkable courage and nerve. Anyway, if you're interested in motorsports history at all, pick it up. I don't think you'll be sorry. Also try The Unfair Advantage by Mark Donohue. It's a terrific story as well, although MD was a better driver/engineer than he was a writer.

[QUOTE=Chef Niloc;233323]Wait, I have a 2 questions that I don't think has been addressed regarding kens demo. 1) why the hell would you have to set the platen to any degree of a angle? I mean at any degree is it not still the flat platen and edge angle going to be the same?
Assuming that I am on the mark.....
For sharpening, My Belt grinder's platten is set at angle ( Platten is not parallel to the belt) so that one end is almost in contact adn the other end further away form the belt. The greater the slack, the greater the convexity and also the secondary edge . The closer the platten is to the belt less slack and less convexity with smaller secondary edge.
I also put the vertical grinder at 10 degrees so that when when I run the blade at 0 degrees ( knife upright with edge facing down) I have 10 degrees and with it tilted slightly towards me.. it wld be greater than 10 degrees.
Hope that this answers your question.

They have Yuri & Estelle from Tales of. And they have the three main characters from Resonance of Fate. And bunch of other characters from different games I recognize but never played.
I'm sold. Take my money ;_;
Let's see how good this game is! :)
I FINALLY started playing it (was trying to finish Resonance of Fate first but final boss kicked my butt multiple times so I'm going to retry that tomorrow) and it's beautiful!! +_+ Graphics improved a lot from Vesperia and Graces F and I feel like the animations are smoother.
I'm currently playing in Jude's side of the story right now : ) and just met up with Alvin.
I realized how much my already-not-so-great Japanese language skills have deteriorated…D: hopefully I will be able to play through the game and not be utterly confused. I need to study Japanese again…
In a kind of unrelated note, is it just me who gets confused with the buttons when you switch from playing American games to Japanese games? OTL I really hate how they switch the X and O buttons. And then you get to the save screen and you are back in the American PS3 control buttons and I just cancel out of saving multiple times by accident T_T booo…it's annoying.

Giving and receiving inspiration
Inspiration is certainly a great way of motivation. I have given inspiration to friends myself by figuring out if they are in sales, the logical aspect is to correlate what is being sold to what will likely be bought...Inspiration begins with your parents, followed by educational programs, and so forth. One never stops learning and getting inspired, even after graduating from a particular institution.

This isn't the first time the powers that be at CCS made a poor decision in hiring. Maybe the papers should look into the hiring of a registered sex offender to help upgrade their computer systems. The school will tout that he was only allowed in after hours, but the fact that they even allowed this man potentially come in contact with any student is irresponsible and criminal. But wait, is he related to someone in the administrative staff?

Agnitum's new Outpost Security Suite Free combines anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, and firewall components into one sweet, free package
November 28, 2010 45 Email article | Print articleMany people were extremely disappointed when Agnitum stopped supporting Outpost Firewall Free, especially considering Outpost firewall is dotTech recommended. Well, friends, worry no longer. Last week Agnitum released Outpost Security Suite Free, the freeware version of Outpost Security Suite Pro.
Previously Outpost Firewall Free provided users with top-notch firewall services. Outpost Security Suite Free takes those top-notch firewall services and combines them with anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam features into one program.
Now, frankly speaking, as far as I know Agnitum writes it own engine but licenses VirusBuster signatures for the anti-virus and anti-spyware features of Outpost products. While it may be VB100 certified, VirusBuster is nothing special, falling in the middle of the pack when it comes to anti-malware software (Outpost Security Suite is always VB100 certified). However, the beauty of a security suite is you can disable the features you don't want to use and just use the features you want. In other words you can just use the firewall component of Outpost Security Suite Free without conflict if you feel you have a better anti-malware program. In fact, one of my favorite features of Outpost products is during installation they automatically detect if you have security software installed and automatically run themselves in "compatibility mode" disabling the features that may conflict. For example, if you have Avira installed Outpost Security Suite Free will detect that and automatically disable its live protection anti-virus and anti-spyware components. This sort of eagerness to work with other security software to avoid conflict on a user's computer shows a high level of wisdom on part of the Agnitum team and shows they prefer to do what is best in the interest of their customers as opposed to just selling products. I don't know about anyone else but this type of behavior puts a developer at the top of my list.
Although I would suggest using better rated anti-malware programs – such as Avast or Avira – for protection against malware, I highly recommend users use the firewall component of Outpost Security Suite Free. Without a doubt Agnitum makes one of the best firewalls out on the market today. Outpost firewall combines provides excellent protection without compromising in the area of user-friendliness. Outpost firewall has an intelligent, research backed database that it draws upon to recognize popular programs and automatically assign firewall rules to them. This makes the firewall much easier to use than other firewalls that constantly prompt the user every other minute. Of course this doesn't mean Outpost firewall will never prompt you but rather this means you will be prompted less than some other firewalls.
Another interesting aspect of Outpost Security Suite Free is it seems to be true freeware. In other words, no where does it say only home users can use this program or Outpost Security Suite Free can only be used for non-commercial purposes. I may be wrong about this but it appears like Outpost Security Suite Free can be used by anyone and everyone.
All things considered, Outpost Security Suite Free is a highly recommended product. You may grab it from the following links:

Was using Outpost Firewall so gave this suite a go. Installed and worked fine, but then I discovered it does not play nice with Sandboxie. Any ideas of how to get Sandboxie working while using this suite. If not, has anyone had problems using Sandboxie with Comodo Firewall?
26I'd try this, except I use ESET Smart Security Suite, so it would be kind of pointless… Oh well, I do hate passing up something free though. :P Perhaps I'll install it on my sibling's computer which doesn't use ESET. I really would like to know how this compares to Comodo though, if anyone could tell me…
27@ Fred Smith – Fred i don't know if your aware of it but the new version of Comodo Firewall has it's own
sandbox that gives you the opportunity to sand box when you install programs, and take it out of sandbox if your happy with it.@ IndoMK – I do know that Comodo will pass Shields Up test with 100%… Try Outpost Security Suite Free on your siblings computer and see how it does… if you/they are not happy with it you can always install and install Comodo and some other anti-virus program… Worst case your out what ? an hour of your time at most.
28@ Rick.C
Thanks for letting me know about Shields up test. I think I will keep my zone alarm pro. Passed with perfect stealth for ALL test's. 100% across the Bord29Hi,
For info: significant slowdown (general at the opening of all programs)!
I presume that it's the result of the presence of 2 antivirus (Avast + Outpost).
I go back to the free Firewall of 2009 !30@Rick C.: Nah, you are well protected. Even though I am not a fan of Comodo (because of their questionable TOS), Comodo actually tests as the best firewall in terms of protection.
@AlanR: Nah, Online Armor is a great firewall too.
@Jeanjean: Are you sure? My contact in Agnitum told me everything is disablable just like in the Pro version. Would you like me to install Outpost Security Suite Free myself and find out? I have yet to install it because I have Outpost Firewall Pro and don't want to go through an uninstall/install procedure for no reason.
@selva: No you are fine. As I mentioned, Comodo is a great firewall and you are right – it tests as *the* best, but really when you get into the top tier in real-life protection all the top ones will perform similarly.
@Albi: During installation it should automatically detect if you have conflicting software installed and automatically disable some features. Other features you need to disable yourself after installation.
I will reply to other comments later today – I have to run right now.
31@ Ashraf
I'll retry. I remember, there was something during installation about the presence of another antiVirus.
I'll give feedback.32@Ashraf
Outpost detects the presence of Avast and asks to add his folder in the exclusions of Avast after installation.
I had lost sight of that the first time, but it does not change anything.
As I said earlier, it is possible to disable the antileak and anti-spam (it's easy to find), but not the antivirus (I don't find a way to do this.). All the options of the antivirus are grayed and there is no option to enabled or disabled it.
Question : If Agnitum says it's possible as in the pro version, how do you do it on your PC ?33@Ashraf: I've had Sandboxie installed for quite a while and it had no problem with Outpost Firewall Free. After installing Outpost Security Suite Free and later trying to run Sandboxie to browse I got a flashing exclamation mark on the tray and a list of error numbers. One of the error code means;
" Typically the message is issued with the error detail [C000000D / 11] or [C000009A / 22]. This indicates that a number of other security products have already registered such process notification routines. The system will only register a limited number of these routines. In this case, the problem may be resolved by uninstalling some other security product, to make room, so to speak, for Sandboxie. "
Anyway I'll see what Agnitum can do.
This sentence is not checked in the settings of the antivirus (in Real time protection) and I can't change that.
Thank you for the trouble you give yourself.36I got an 83 MB setup file and not the 107 MB mentioned in the article (for 32 bit – i am using Win XP). But it installed without any problem. It has slowed down my system just a bit, but not much. So I can live with it. It detected my Avast AV during installation and as a result the settings for its own anti-virus have been grayed out. But I can still run the scan. I tried running scans from both Outpost and Avast (one after the other). There was no problem and looks like they can co-exist.
Thanks Ashraf37@Ashraf
I'm also sure that Outpost is causing the slowdown. When I returned to the 2009 version (after one or two days), everything has functioned normally again.
I'll follow your advice and take reluctantly Online Armor.38It's interesting to see that Outpost been released in a free version.
I'm very glad that Agnitum decided to do this but after I saw following clip at YouTube I'm not so sure if I'll recommend it for my own friends as it didn't protected the testmachine for rootkits to be installed.
39It would seem that the Outpost & Sandboxie conflict is an ongoing issue. I visted Agnitum's forum and read a few posts but there does not seem to be a solution. I have left a request with Agnitum for assistance in solving the issue but I'm not too confident that they will be able to help.
40I don't want to try the Outpost Suite, but I do need a firewall.
I am considering Online Armor Free and Comodo Free. Which would slow my system less?
42What this article does not say is that Agnitum Outpost loads all modules even they are not in use. And that there is no option NOT to install e.g antivirus
I mean not to install really.43Every time I turn on my PC I get a popup from Outpost asking me to register. I go to a little file I have in dropbox, copy the registration code, paste it into Outpost and it's fine. But I have to do it every time I turn the machine on.
Any work-arounds you all can tell me about? Or what am I doing wrong?
44So if I'm not wrong, you suggest to download the entire package (107 MB) and then use just the Firewall component along with AVAST or AVIRA, right??
What a waste of HD space…LOL!

The Twilight Effect
In much the same way that JK Rowling changed the face of children literature forever with her fantastical (yet strangely believable) wizard world, Twilight changed teen books forever.
Gone is the straightforward Girl meets Boy scenario; replaced with Girl meets Vampire. The aftermath of the books (all four of them) is that the market has been flooded with a huge amount of variations on this theme. And also the audience has changed. From just being for 11 - 17 year olds, the readers now could be from as young as eight through to eighty.
We think this is The Twilight Effect - books with a strong fantastical romantic theme - read by just about anyone. And especially by me. I have mentioned more than once in my book reviews that I loved the Twilight books. I love fantasy, science fiction and romance. I really like it when they all intersect and my brain gets turned off for a bit. So I read all these books in the name of 'research', and it had nothing to do with the fact that I just like reading them!
So here are six current books that fall nicely into that Twilight category. Our next article will be about more of those books - but with a more "adult" theme (they are definitely less chaste). These are all the nice chaste ones that pretty much anyone can read.
So we start off with Illusions by Aprilynne Pike. This one is faeries instead of vampires - and it is the girl that is a faerie, and the boy who is human. Laurel is a faerie brought up by humans. She is torn between the two worlds, and between her faerie-guard Tamani and her human boyfriend David. These books are very much for the teen set - anywhere from the younger ones through to the 16 year olds. There is romance with both Tamani and David, intrigue in the form of Yuki, and danger in the form of Trolls (and there is no charming parallel with werewolves - trolls are just vile and evil)... This book is the follow on from Wings and, the first two books in the series. ILLUSIONS by Aprilynne Pike is published by Harper Collins. It is $25.99 - and it is available now. The fourth and final book in the saga has just been released. Destined by Aprilynne Pike is available now and retails for $24.99. These are all a nice easy read, light and uncomplicated. It is definitely a five out of five for its chaste rating.
Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton is a slightly different kettle of fish (as it were). Silla is a young girl, lost and devastated after the brutal murder and apparent suicide of her parents. She lives with her brother and grandmother. This is the intertwined story of her and the Hot New Boy, Nick. Running alongside this is another story involving the mysterious Deacon. It takes a while, but eventually the two stories intersect with tragic and long lasting effects... This is a fast-paced and dark book with the path of true love running surprisingly smoothly considering all the death, loss and grief. This was a hard book to put down, and at just over 400 pages it is a long one. It can be a little wordy at times, and the cutting and bleeding thing a bit icky, but overall – a good read. Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton is published by Random House. It retails for $9.99 and is available now. Please note, this book is available as an e-reader. It is suitable for older (read adult Twilighters) readers as well.
Born Wicked: The Cahill Witch Chronicles by Jessica Spotswood could do with a different cover in my humble opinion. The Born Wicked title and the sultry photo on the front don't give you a clear idea of what the book is actually going to be about. You would get a better idea if you watch (yes that's right, watch) the book trailer, which I discovered while on the Internet. There now appears to be book trailers, so you get a moving trailer version of the back cover synopsis of the book. The story is about Cate, the eldest of the three Cahill sisters, whose mother was a witch. She died leaving them alone in a culture (it isn't clear exactly when, and where, the books are set) that is ruled by the Brothers. Women are to be seen and not heard and witches especially are to be hated and destroyed. The love triangle is between Cate, Paul the Old Family Friend, and Finn the Handsome Gardener. This is a well-written, fast-paced book with lots of tumbles and turns with the story line. This is a book written in a Victorian-type era, so it has hardly any kissing let alone anything else. It could be read by any age. Born Wicked The Cahill Witch Chronicles by Jessica Spotswood is published by Penguin Books. It is $21 and is available now. This is a slightly more adult in tone.
Fateful is by the prolific Claudia Grey, who has written the popular Evernight series. Fateful takes the Twilight course a little more closely, with the young Tess Davies a young maid on the ill-fated Titanic. How is it close to Twilight? Well, there are no vampires, but there are werewolves. And as with Twilight, there are both good and bad werewolves – is the mysterious (and handsome) Alec being stalked by werewolves? And why? All will be revealed, in this easy to consume book that every 14 year old I have given it to has loved. This has a four out of five for its chaste rating. The book is published by Harper Collins and retails for $29.99. It is available now.
PASSION is the third novel in the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. Luce would die for Daniel her one true love – and through the ages she has, with every re-incarnation she and Daniel live through. PASSION continues to follow Daniel the fallen angel and his earthy love Luce. This book follows Luce and she ducks through time watching each of their incarnations to see if there is a way to break their curse… and allow them to be together forever. With another book to follow, this will only be part of the story. Not as gripping as the first book, but better than the second. And the chaste factor is high… can be read by anyone. PASSION by Kate Lauren is published by Random House and retails for $29.99. It is available now.

Guy born with total color blindness can now hear colors
Neil Harbisson was born with achromatopsia, which means he can't see colors. He lives in a world of black and white. Not satisfied with having to remember that the sky is blue, or that lemons are yellow, he teamed up with Adam Montandon to develop a brain implant that they call the Eyeborg, which turns colors into sounds. In 2010, the Cyborg Foundation was born--an organization to help humans become cyborgs. Check out the fascinating details in the video after the jump, and be on the lookout for other projects from the Cyborg Foundation, including the Earborg (turns sounds into colors,) and the Speedbord (detects movement through earrings that vibrate.)

I like Heather Locklear. Forget all the current addiction and personal issues and whatever she's done to try to keep herself young looking. She had one hell of a run as a bad-ass hot-arsed blonde TV starlet, a solid couple of decades of making man-kind very very happy. For that, hell yeah, lifetime achievement award for sure.
But now, it's time for her to pass the mantle onto her self-produced replacement, her own offspring by way of rocker Richie Sambora, Ava Sambora, who as a mid-teen has already begun the modeling and show circuit and will, without a doubt, be following to some degree in her mom's rather legendary footsteps.
Someday, I hope to be fruitful and multiply future Egotastics, I mean, legally named, not just the multitude of poor bastards running around small third world villages with my distinctive chin. Heather Locklear has done herself proud once more. Enjoy.
