Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, described how to revolutioniz...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most profound change in personal and enterprise IT since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago. All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices - computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by 2020. This number will continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next several decades.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, discussed how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

People often ask me why I write such dark books.
You're such a sunny person, they say.
I say: Look around you, what kind of a country do you think you're living in?
Here is a tale of the island of Saints and Sadists.
A young woman came to our country for help, for a home, for safety.
We call her an immigrant and it has become a bad word in the way that the simple trade of tinker became a bad word when I was a boy. And sometimes we call them refugees, which is even a worse word. Or fugees. At least we're not racist about it. It applies to anyone in distress who asks us to take them in.
And she had been raped in her own country and she found she was pregnant when she came into the care of our state and we carried out the usual compulsory medical examination.
And nobody told her you couldn't have an abortion in Ireland.
And nobody told her that our state has fought long and hard to force women to keep babies until they are born and then our state has fought long and hard to take their babies away from them and give them to decent people who deserve them or to the nuns.
Because our state cares for women. In the way that any decent man cares for his woman. And there are 221 men in our parliament and only 25 women. So that's a lot of caring.

.- Cardinal Velasio De Paolis ordained 50 priests, including 49 priests for the Legionaries of Christ, on Dec. 12 at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome.
Fifteen of the new priests come from the United States, while 20 come from Mexico and five each from Brazil and Colombia.
About 2,000 people attended the ordination, including parents, relatives, friends and members of the Legionaries of Christ, the Regnum Christi Movement, and the Somascan Fathers.
Fr. Pablo Galvan, a member of the Somascan Fathers, was the one non-Legionary priest ordained on Monday. His brother, Marcos Galvan, was one of the Legionaries ordained at the same Mass.
Three pairs of brothers were ordained, including Frs. Jason and Michael Mitchell from western Pennsylvania.
Fr. Roberto Carlos Lazalde of Durango, Mexico dreamed of being a professional soccer player and played for the minor league Cruz Azul team. Instead of pursuing his dream further, he decided to become a priest.
Another new priest, Fr. José Guadalupe Padua, had already received his master's in law when, during Bl. John Paul II's 1999 visit to Mexico City, his eyes met those of the Pope. He said the experience changed his life.
The youngest of the new priests is 29 and the oldest is 35.
The priests tell the stories of their various paths to the priesthood in a new multilingual book "Witness of God's Gift," known in Spanish as "Dios lo da todo."
The Legionaries now have over 900 priests in 20 countries.
Cardinal De Paolis is the papal delegate to the Legionaries of Christ. He is overseeing the reform of the congregation since revelations that its founder Fr. Marcel Maciel led a double life and committed serious sins.

Morsels of beef, chicken, and pork absorb rich, smoky flavors over the wood coals of Braza's custom-made churrasqueria grill. Servers slice the traditional Brazilian feasts off skewers right at the table, which is one of the rich traditions of gaucho culture, like tying pork sausage into lasso knots. An all-you-can-eat buffet with sides such as yucca, hearts of palm, and lemon sauce cut meaty flavors with zesty and crispy tastes. As guests savor chicken wings, pork tenderloins, and jerk beef, a lively nightclub atmosphere puts feet on the dance floor with traditional Brazilian music and karaoke.
Straight from Brazil, I Love Milkshakes takes the concept of self-serve yogurt one step further. Here, cups get filled with either ice cream or frozen yogurt, then blended with fruit or other sweets to create a sippable treat. To complement their sweet shakes, customers can warm up with hot coffee drinks or nosh on waffles wrapped around a stick, perfect for dunking or beating away a corn-dog salesman.

Since 1952, the cuisine designers at DiBlasi's have prepared a menu of cold cuts, hot subs, and pizza. Two football-starting-lineups' worth of signature cold cuts wear culinary jerseys, such as the steak and cheese (up to $6.25) and the Steak Bomb—which binds together a tasty amalgam of pepper, mushroom, onion, salami, and cheese (up to $6.75). Hot subs, such as the meaty bacon-cheeseburger sandwich (up to $6.75), warm hands then stomachs like an edible pair of electric gloves, and a slice of Sicilian-style pizza ($2) presents a mealtime geometry lesson. DiBlasi's also assembles a variety of wraps ($5.50–$6.75), which encase tasty blends of meat and vegetables.
Bread & Company crafts scores of Brazilian- and European-influenced edibles alongside coffees and teas from around the globe, showcasing more than 300 unique pastries, sandwiches, and soups daily. Guests drop in as early as 6 a.m. seven days a week to study the sweet geometry of a belgian waffle ($5.50) and the tasteful synergy of the ham-and-cheese omelette ($6.25). Meanwhile, fried appetizers such as the fried pastel ($2.95, filled with beef or cheese) flaunt Southern-Hemisphere street flair. Or dig into the culinary history of Italy without broasting a bust of Nero by gobbling dinner plates of chicken-broccoli ziti ($8.95).

A quaint, shamrock-green and wrought iron sign ushers guests into Kirby Kitchen's dining room, where a faux fireplace, crisp white wainscoting, and sepia-toned portraits evoke the feel of an old-fashioned parlor. The eatery's goal is equally nostalgic: to serve fresh, homemade fare using local ingredients that have never been frozen or taught profanity. Chef Bob Botchie––who received formal training at Le Cordon Bleu––prepares a simple, yet tasteful menu of salads, made-from-scratch soups, and sandwiches, with a focus on comforting classics such as a BLT topped with fried green tomato and a traditional Irish boiled dinner with house-corned beef, vinegar slaw, and sautéed potatoes. The restaurant shares its cozy space with a small market that sells house-made jams, cheeses, pickles, and cured meats, allowing customers to appreciate artisan eats in the comforting glow of their own home hearth.

I agree it is getting ridiculous. We are addressing the posters, but unfortunately, people keep replying to them and then threads get out of control. The best course of action if anyone sees a post that may be inappropriate is to report it and ignore it.

While I agree that ignoring troublesome posts would be a solution, I don't think it is the best one. The best one is to punish those that are actually in violation.
|Thu, 02-05-2009 - 6:05pm
Or delete the troublesome posts, but leave the reasonable ones in place. That was the policy/procedure for many years (at least, that's how it appeared to posters), and it was a more pleasant place there then.
|Thu, 02-05-2009 - 6:05pm
Just because a message is reported doesn't necessarily mean it will be deleted. But that is the best way to bring a troublesome post to our attention.
|Thu, 02-05-2009 - 6:06pm
It's also the best way for a poster with an agenda to bring non-violating posts to your attention and to accomplish their agenda of removing posters they don't like.
|Thu, 02-05-2009 - 6:15pm
Is it or is it not against the TOS to bring up personal details or information posted on iVillage that are not relevant in any way to the debate?
|Thu, 02-05-2009 - 6:21pm
Can you give me a specific example - without knowing the circumstances I would have to say "It depends". It depends on how that information is being used.

Every month, Style Arc give you their free pattern of the month with your order of another pattern. In August, I received the Brenda pattern and thought it was perfect fora piece of border print cotton voile that I had in my stash. I saw a shirt in a designer magazine that had used the border print at the top of the shirt rather than at the bottom, so I thought I would try this for a change and I am happy with the result. This pattern wasn't as well fitting as other Style Arc patterns so I had to remove the front darts to make it fit. but other from that, it is a lovely style.
Cotton volie

Wow, what a great way to use a border print!
Oct 29, 2013, 10.58 AMby schnui
Thanks Diana. I was looking through a magazine featuring some designer blouses and saw that the border print fabric was used in this way. I had this fabric and decided to try it out. The cotton voile is a little thin for a structured blouse but I wanted to use fabric in my stash.

Putting the border at the top instead of the bottom was certainly a very good idea – I like the twist it gave to the shirt!

I miss working at a job/career/whatever. I left an insurance business when I moved back to my hometown to start a subdivision from a little piece of inherited land, and that has affected my emotional state as well as my income. The subdivision that I started has been "flatlined" with the current economic situation, so I am on a search for something that fits me. To fill time, to help my church, and to be somewhat creative, I helped to spearhead the development of a cookbook, "A Taste of Heaven," with 650 recipes. The profits go to the church's benevolence fund which was depleted. That work was so rewarding - both for the church and for me! I'm looking at a nationally-recognized direct sales opportunity and an Internet business possibility. Both have low start-up costs which is attractive. I've been successful at past sales careers, so I know I can do it again. Is anyone else out there in a similar situation? What have you done or are doing? Or want to do?
Last month, I went to the local Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver's license. An updated picture was required, so I posed appropriately. When I returned home, I glanced at the photo. For some unexplained reason, it seemed that they had put my MOTHER'S picture on the license!!!! Have you looked in the mirror lately and seen your mother? This is eerie.
My GS, who has Asperger's Syndrome, had a fantastic week at a state Boy Scouts of America campground. His achievements included 'best swimmer in the troop,' the earning of several badges and, at the top of his list, making a new friend....a rat snake. He came home a different boy. Hats off to the BS of A! Do others have similar stories?

Tranmere boss Moore fully prepared for cup
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore has left no stone unturned to make sure his team are not the victims of an FA Cup upset when they travel to non-league Braintree.
Rovers have surprised many this season with their surge to the top of npower League One but Moore is aware that defeat to the Blue Square Bet Premier side would provide an even greater shock and he insists his team are fully prepared.
He told Tranmere Player: "We never got a chance to see them last week with their game being called off but we've looked at an awful lot of DVDs. We've looked at this more than any other league club all season just to make sure we don't trip up.
"If you go to Luton and win and Hereford and draw, we know we're in for a tough game. I've been involved in a lot of first round FA Cup ties against non-league teams and I've won a few and also lost a few.
"We don't know a great deal about their players. We know their shape and formation but our players haven't seen them. It's not like you're playing against MK Dons or whoever where you know who you're playing against."
The Iron finished 12th last season after promotion from Blue Square Bet South but currently sit precariously above the relegation zone.
The televised cup tie will be one of the biggest events in Town's history and only the second time they have been in the main draw but Moore is hoping his players can use the spotlight to spur them on as well.
"It's a big opportunity for our players as well as theirs," he said.
"We're on the TV - who's watching? If you have a cracker and get three goals then your name is up in lights."
Leyton Orient also face a trip to non-league opposition as they travel to take on Blue Square Bet North side Gloucester.
A shock win for the Tigers would put them into the second round for the first time since 1989 when they took Cardiff to a second round replay and defender Mike Green is delighted the team he has followed all his life are back in the first round proper.
"I've always supported Gloucester and looked out for the results whatever club I've been at," he told the club's official website.
"It's a great achievement and we've wanted to get this far in the cup for a long time, the club deserves it and the fans deserve it.
"We know we are going in as massive underdogs, but that's the magic of the cup, there are always surprises."
In Sunday's other ties, Plymouth make the trip down the coast to Dorchester while Burton host Altrincham.

African Ministers Responsible for Meteorology Seek to Increase Community Resilience
Addis Ababa, 22 May 2014 (WIC) - Climate change occasioned by severe weather and extreme climate events is exacerbating multiple stresses such as food insecurity and spread of diseases in Africa. In 2012 alone, an estimated 37.3 million Africans were negatively affected by hydro meteorological hazards; a 43.3% increase in annual average over the last decade.
The African Ministerial Conference on Meteorology (AMCOMET) is, therefore, intensifying efforts to integrate weather and climate services in national and sub-regional development frameworks to save lives and improve the livelihoods of communities.
According to a press release African Press Organization sent to WIC, a transformative approach is required to introduce innovative adaptation measures that build the resilience of communities to cope with adverse impacts of climate change.
"Every African country should be involved in the transformative development of the continent", says African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, H.E Rhoda Peace Tumusiime, adding that, "supporting weather and climate services is critical in strengthening Africa's resilience in the context of Africa Agenda 2063 on the Africa We Want".

Cake Alchemy
9 total reviews
- 1
Wedding: 7/19/2014
Years before I was even engaged I saw Lauri and Cake Alchemy on a wedding tv show, and knew that she would make my wedding cake. When we saw her on the list of suggested vendors for our venue, I knew that this was fate. I met with Lauri to talk about what we wanted the cake to look like and she very quickly understood our theme. The cake sketch she did was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. She designed a birch colored cake that had topsy-turvy layers with purple flowers and a golden key/lock set. Oh and of course, it had her signature sugar bubbles. Even guests that said they weren't really cake people, loved the taste of it. We were so pleased with our experience and would recommend her to anyone.
Wedding: 9/2/2012
creative, quality, beauty - delicious!!!!
Wedding: 6/23/2012
Working with Lori was great. She is very quick in getting back to you and listens to you. She truly outdid herself with the cake. The cake looked so beautiful that my husband and I did not want to cut into it. And the cake itself was just absolutely delicious. All my guests were going on and on of how moist and well, just yummy it was. I have my piece saved for our 1 year anniversary but i really would love to eat it now lol. Cake alchemy definitely is worth it.
Wedding: 6/9/2012
My cake was absolutely amazing! We went to Lauri with a picture of a cake she had previously done that was slightly above our price range. She made some adjustments to the design to fit our budget and style and the cake came out beautiful.
Wedding: 10/15/2011
We got a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. It was perfect - very moist and not too sweet. The decorations on it were also beautiful. Everything about the process was painless. Thank you, Lauri!
Wedding: 10/9/2011
We asked for a purple, topsy turvy chocolate cake and that's exactly what we got. Lauri was super nice and she is a great listener and had wonderful ideas. The cake was DELICIOUS, we didn't save our top tier because it was so good. We ate a slice of it a day until it was gone :( HA! worth it!!!!!!
Wedding: 10/9/2010
Lauri made a fabulous groom's cake for us!! It was a surprise for my groom and I wanted a very specific make & model of car...his favorite. She did a truly amazing job. My new husband loved it and it was the hit of the party!! Can't recommend them more highly!!
Wedding: 5/29/2011
Not sure what the problem was with the previous person but I would never look any other place other than Cake Alchemy. We met with Lauri and she was awesome, we are having an over the top wedding in NYC and they would be the only place to go. Look at there web site and try another place and you will be sorry you did. Please understand that the quality of work they offer will cost you but remember that you only have one wedding day (hopefully) and one chance at a perfect cake. Price is important but quality matters more.
Wedding: 8/15/2010
My fiance and I went with grand expectations to our consulation with Cake Alchemy. After communicating with the assistant for a week we expected a cake sketch and different cake flavors. What we got was stale cake and no sketch. The cake designer had no idea where my wedding was to take place although her assistant already quoted me a delivery price. I received my sketch a week and a half later and it looked like a child drew it. There was no care taken whatsoever. We were so disappointed at their unprofessionalism that we would not recommend them to anyone and their cake was just so-so

These include increased disclosure requirements or a requirement for shareholders to weigh in before a publicly traded corporation can run political ads.
"If a company is going to make an expenditure, the CEO could be required to do an on-camera 'I approve this message,' just as political candidates do," says a Schumer aide.
"If you look at the staggering figures of the Fortune 100 companies and the revenues they have and the profits that they can now unleash directly in these elections, it has the potential to totally upend our system and corrupt the process in a way that I think should alarm every American citizen," said Congressman Van Hollen.
The issues are constitutional
It's a complex decision, and many lawmakers say they need time before determining what options Congress has in a decision argued on broad, constitutional terms.
Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, a cosponsor of the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, says that he's disappointed with the decision but doesn't see much that Congress can do about it. "Maybe we'll have to see how this new set of rules works in American political
campaigns," he told CNN.
In a rare disagreement on this issue, Sen. Russ Feingold (D) of Wisconsin called the decision a terrible mistake. "The American people will pay dearly for this decision when, more than ever, their voices are drowned out by corporate spending in our federal elections," he said in a statement.

I purchased a new Cube Agree GTC SL in August. The wheels are Fulcrum Racing 5s and the rear cassette is Shimano Ultegra 12-25. The bike is great but one thing I have noticed is that the freehub on the rear wheel only "ticks" very occasionally when I'm not pedalling. There are no other problems. Is this something I should be worried about?
I bought the bike online from a retailer miles away from where I live so it would be very difficult for me to take it back to them to check this out if it is a problem.
Any (constructive!) suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
there's no problem with the actual engaging of the freehub though, when you pedal?

in that case the pawls are working fine but something's silencing the click, for example excess grease in the system that's damping the sound of the pawls returning. unless you start getting engagement problems it's rarely an issue, i've got a shimano wheel that's been completely silent for as long as i can remember with no problems.

Thanks Dave - that's very helpful. I actually quite like it being quiet when freewheeling!

And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let's make a mil
from J. Cole (Ft. TLC) – Crooked Smile Lyrics on Genius
Cole stretches the word "mil" so that it sounds like "meal," in order to tie into his use of "beef"
It's a play on words. Beef is referring to the tension between everyone whether it be people in the music industry or just regular people on the street. He says lets make a mil, sounding like meal, to tell people to turn all their beef into a meal. Basically he wants everyone to stop fighting and arguing over petty things and get out there and be successful. The time you waste on 'beefing' could very well be the time you use to apply for jobs and make something of yourself.
He also uses a word play in the previous line:'ville sounds like veal, a theme which he carries through in this line with beef and meal

|Go to market news section
4th January 2013
Management Consulting Group PLC
Pre-Close Statement and Close Period Share Repurchase Programme
Management Consulting Group PLC ("MCG" or "the Group"), the international professional services group, today announces a pre-close statement ahead of the announcement of the Group's 2012 preliminary results on 6th March 2013. MCG expects to report revenue and underlying operating profit* for the 2012 financial year in line with expectations. MCG also today announces a close period share repurchase programme.
Alexander Proudfoot is expected to report total revenues for the year as a whole similar to those reported in 2011. Alexander Proudfoot has performed well in 2012, although continuing economic uncertainty in Europe and North America had some effect on the timing and size of opportunities in these markets in the second half of the year.
Kurt Salmon's operations in North America and Asia, mainly focused on the retail and consumer goods sector, are expected to report growth in revenues in 2012. In Europe, as expected, Kurt Salmon revenues in 2012 will be lower than the previous year. As previously reported, the impact of Eurozone uncertainty and weak growth have affected client buying decisions, and this has been exacerbated by the impact of the relative weakening of the Euro for the year as a whole on the reported revenues in Sterling.
As previously reported, we have taken action to underpin the profit performance of the Kurt Salmon business in 2012 and 2013, including restructuring certain practices, eliminating some non-core lower margin activities and making adjustments to headcount, resulting in non-recurring costs which will be reported in the full year 2012 results.
Net indebtedness reported at 31 December 2012 is expected to be approximately £30m compared with £35.7m at 30 June 2012 and £28.2m at 31 December 2011.
On 30 October MCG announced that it intended to commence a share buy-back programme to make market purchases of up to £5m of its ordinary shares over the succeeding twelve months. Up to 31 December 2012 the Company had purchased 1,261,772 of its ordinary shares of 1 pence each at an average price of 22.49 pence per share. MCG announces today that it will undertake an irrevocable, non-discretionary programme to purchase shares on its own behalf during the period commencing on 7 January 2013 up to and including 31 January 2013. The buy-back programme during this period will be managed by an independent third party, which makes its trading decisions in relation to the Company's securities independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company. Any share purchases will be effected within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with both the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules which requires that the maximum price is an amount equal to 105 per cent of the average market value of the Company's shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which the Company's shares are purchased.
*The term 'underlying' is defined as "before non-recurring items, the amortisation of acquired intangible assets and the impairment of acquired goodwill from continuing operations".
Nick Stagg, Chief Executive commented:
"MCG has continued to benefit from its broadly diversified business in terms of both geography and sector focus. We have seen an improved performance in North America and good progress in emerging markets, offset by lower business activity in some European markets driven by Eurozone weakness. The progress made by both Kurt Salmon and Alexander Proudfoot during 2012 demonstrates the resilience of the two businesses in this uncertain economic environment. We will continue to focus on opportunities in our core businesses and markets in 2013."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Maximum Number of Sockets an Application Can Use
Article ID: 111855 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q111855
The maximum number of sockets supported by a particular Windows Sockets supplier is implementation-specific. An application should make no assumptions about the availability of a certain number of sockets.
Details of the Windows Sockets implementation are described in the WSAData structure returned by WSAStartup() and defined as follows:
On return from WSAStart() on Windows NT
where iMaxSockets is the maximum number of sockets that a single process can potentially open. A Windows Sockets implementation can provide a global pool of sockets for allocation to any process, or it can allocate per-process resources for sockets. The number can reflect the way in which the Windows Sockets DLL or the networking software was configured. The number can also be used when writing an application as an indication of whether the Windows Sockets implementation can be used by the application.
For example, an X Windows server might check iMaxSockets when it starts. If the number of sockets is less than 8, the application displays an error message instructing the user to reconfigure the networking software. (This is a situation in which the szSystemStatus text might be used.) There is no guarantee that a particular application can actually allocate iMaxSockets sockets, because there may be other Windows Sockets applications in use.
However, independent of the number of sockets supported by a particular implementation is the issue of the maximum number of sockets that an application can actually use.
The maximum number of sockets that a Windows Sockets application can use is determined at compile time by the manifest constant FD_SETSIZE. To do this, from the Win32 SDK WINSOCK.H file:
This value is used in constructing the fd_set structures used in select(). The default value in WINSOCK.H is 64. If an application is designed to be capable of working with more than 64 sockets, define the manifest FD_SETSIZE in every source file before including WINSOCK.H. One way of doing this is to include the definition within the compiler options in the makefile, such as adding -DFD_SETSIZE=128 as an option to the compiler command line for Microsoft C.
NOTE: Defining FD_SETSIZE as a particular value has no effect on the actual number of sockets provided by a Windows Sockets implementation.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] TURKEY: Winds of unity Blow on the left and right in politics
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT
|2007-05-07 03:50:59
7 May 2007
Eyes were on intensified unification negotiations between the main
opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Democratic Left Party
(DSP) after the two center-right parties announced on Saturday that they
would merge before the general elections slated for July.
DSP leader Zeki Sezer and CHP leader Deniz Baykal met Saturday night to
discuss ways to unite forces after Sezer dismissed a call from Baykal to
close down his party and merge with the CHP. Talks between the DSP and CHP
officials began 9:45 p.m. and lasted until 3:00 a.m. Baykal and Sezer were
present in the first one-and-a-half-hour section of the meeting at CHP
headquarters. The talks ended with an agreement under which the DSP
members would join the CHP without closing down the DSP, sources said. The
DSP rejected complete dissolution, saying the party reflects a heritage
from late Prime Minister Bu:lent Ecevit, a former CHP member who later
parted ways with the party and created the DSP in 1985.Officials of the
two parties discussed different formulas during the hours-long talks on
Saturday night. One point of contention was a demand from DSP leader Zeki
Sezer to get a contingent of at least 50 deputies reserved for DSP members
from Baykal. Baykal insisted that 20 deputies would be enough, and a
compromise of 30 deputies eventually resolved the dispute.
A remaining sticking point concerns the DSP's demand to have more parties
included in the CHP-DSP front. The DSP wants the united front to be open
to the Social Democratic People's Party (SHP) and the December 10
Movement, a platform of smaller leftist parties backed by some
nongovernmental organizations. Baykal, however, is cool towards such a
proposal. Observers say the DSP may seek alliance with the SHP and the
December 10 Movement if attempts to unite with the CHP fail.
Both the CHP and the DSP are under public pressure to unite against the
ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party). Tens of thousands of
anti-government demonstrators gathering in the western provinces of Manisa
and C,anakkale on Saturday called on the two parties to unite forces to
counter the AK Party in the coming polls after the center-right True Path
Party (DYP) and the Motherland Party (ANAVATAN) announced an agreement to
unite under the roof of a new party, the Democrat Party (DP). If these two
parties fail to make necessary arrangements in time to enter elections
under the name of DP, they will go to the polls under the name of the DYP,
sources said. According to an early election calendar announced by the
Supreme Election Board (YSK) last week, the ballots do not include the DP
as one of the candidate parties for the elections, which are expected to
take place on July 22. ANAVATAN and the DYP are now expected to formalize
their decision to merge at upcoming party conventions, slated for June 2
and May 20, respectively. According to the merger agreement, Agar and
Mumcu will lead the party as co-chairmen for equal periods of time until
the merger is finalized. The DP's candidate for prime minister will be
Agar. The party's emblem will be a horse on a map of Turkey, a combination
of the emblems of ANAVATAN and the DYP. In the last elections in 2002,
neither the DYP or ANAVATAN succeeded in obtaining the 10 percent of the
vote needed to hold seats in Parliament, and they have held merger
discussions over the past few weeks.

Portable Exif Tag Remover 5.01
Portable application that allows you to delete tags and other EXIF information from image files with the help of an intuitive wizard
Built as a portable counterpart of Exif Tag Remover, this tool is designed to remove EXIF information from images. It particularly comes in handy when looking to reduce the overall size of numerous pictures on the disk, digital cameras, pen drives, and so on.
Portability advantages
Since there is no setup kit involved, the program files can be placed in a custom directory on the hard disk or mass storage device, from where you can directly run the executable file.
An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not receive new entries, leaving the disk clean after removal.
Wizard-like interface
The UI is clean and intuitive, consisting of a standard wizard where you have to follow a few simple stages to eliminate EXIF data in no time.
Add image files easily
Image files can be added to the task list using the file browser, folder view or drag-and-drop feature. Batch processing is supported, meaning that you can work with multiple files at once. However, it is not available in the demo version.
Configure output settings
As far as the output is concerned, you can set Exif Tag Remover to either overwrite the original pictures, save the new ones in another location, or rename the existing files with additional prefixes or suffixes.
Select the type of metadata to remove
It is possible to delete all EXIF details. Alternatively, you can exclude particular fields from the task, such as XMP, ICC profiles or GPS data. Last but not least, you can alter the timestamps by turning them into fixed or random values.
The tool carries out tasks pretty fast and shows the total amount of cleaned images and saved size at the end of the wizard, in addition to providing an option for opening the target folder. From this point on, you can either exit the tool or restart from scratch.
Overall, a reliable EXIF remover
CPU and RAM consumption is low. We have not encountered any issues in our tests, as the app did not hang, crash or display error notifications. In a nutshell, Exif Tag Remover is a reliable utility for ridding images of EXIF data, featuring a few handy configuration options.

Bryan Burrough: Will Ferrell Jumps the Shark
I love Will Ferrell. My kids love Will Ferrell. Hell, pretty much everyone loves Will Ferrell. Which is why it pains me to write that I strongly suspect Will Ferrell, thanks in large part to the truly awful Semi Pro, has jumped the shark.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Semi Pro blows. Everything about this movie, in which Ferrell stars as the owner of an American Basketball Association team in the 1970s, feels phoned in. Did Ferrell & Co. think it was enough to have him prance around in 1970s-era short shorts? It isn't. And what's with all the profanity? I mean, the big three- and four-syllable naughty words. Did these people think they were remaking Slap Shot?' There's one funny bit when Ferrell wrestles a bear, but that's about it. The funniest thing about the whole production was the Bud Light commercial Ferrell had in the Super Bowl. Now that was funny.
Semi Pro did O.K. business this weekend, $15 million or so. But it won't top $100 million, and it might not hit $50 million, which is an ominous thing for Ferrell fans. Ferrell has had movies tank before. Bewitched, for one. But let's be clear. Neither Bewitched nor that awful thing where Ferrell thought he was in Emma Thompson's novel were true "Will Ferrell movies." They were movies that happened to have Will Ferrell in them. The "Will Ferrell movies" started with Anchorman, then Talledega Nights and Blades of Glory. And now, unfortunately, Semi Pro.
Jim Carrey had a nice Hollywood run, until he tired of being funny and wanted to be taken seriously. Ben Stiller still has legs. Mike Myers too, when he feels like it. But unless Ferrell delivers a strong rebound from Semi Pro, he risks becoming the new David Spade.

Art Print
is this the place that they call paradise?by Jesse Treece
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
Saw this reposted by an irl friend on tumblr - LOVE your work. It takes a very agile mind to make collages that take the ordinary and move it so out of context that it becomes art. Your stuff is great, and please keep it coming!
It takes a lot of creativity and a certain knack to be a collage artist, and you got it! Plus--who wouldn't want a swimming pool in the middle of a vast rock land. :)

.- The director of communications for the Archdiocese of Mexico City, Hugo Valdemar Romero, said this week there is concern in the archdiocese over the difference between the number of priests and the number of Catholics. "The Church is very concerned that there aren't enough priests to sustain the work of evangelization needed in Mexico," Valdemar told the Notimex news agency.
Regarding data which shows a decrease in the number of Catholics in Mexico, Valdemar said, "It is not surprising to see the numbers drop a few percentage points," but he noted that the general number of Catholics has been growing in relation to the growth of the population.
Likewise, he stated that despite a slight increase in priestly vocations, that number has not kept up with the growth in population. "We still have the same number of priests as 20 years ago," Valdemar said.
