McGinnis: Everybody! Everybody!? A classic website prepares to relaunchWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Hello, I'm Strong Bad, and I'm from 2002. Ask your parents." — Introduction at W00tstock, summer 2013
Back in January, I published a list of four things I would love to see in pop culture during calendar year 2014. Of the wishes I made, the longest odds were against the arrival of new content on the website HomestarRunner.com. At the time, it seemed like a pipe dream to hope for updates to the seemingly-abandoned site, which had not seen regular maintenance since 2009. At the time, I put the odds of it happening at 200:1 and called it the "longest of long shots."
Well, I'm glad no one took me up on that bet, and I'm as happy to be wrong as it is possible to be. Because sometimes, just sometimes, the longest of long shots does come in.
It's hard to sum up what made the peculiar website so phenomenally popular. A required weekly destination for many fans back in the aughts, the site published flash cartoons featuring the offbeat and hilarious antics of a group of characters living in Free Country, USA. Names and phrases like "Trogdor!" and "Deleted!" became catchphrases. Shirts and posters and video games were made. A large group of loyal fans anticipated the site's updates every Monday.
Originally conceived as a children's book ("The Homestar Runner in the Strongest Man in the World Contest"), the cast of characters showcased on the site began to be featured in flash cartoons that were as unique and memorable as any created in modern animation. From supposed villain (and actual lead character) Strong Bad's regular email show to shorts showcasing supposed hero (and actual moron) Homestar's exploits, the site's humor was often silly but just as often genuinely insightful about many aspects of culture. It was that rare form of entertainment that could be just as easily enjoyed by kids as adults (frequent use of the word "crap" notwithstanding).
About five years ago, however, the number of updates began to slow to a trickle, and then ground to a halt. The creators behind the enterprise — brothers Mike and Matt Chapman — moved onto other projects. The site remained on the Web, a monument of all that had come before, but the page labeled "New Stuff" remained unchanged. It looked like Homestar Runner and his flash brethren had gone out not with a bang, but a Strong-Sad-style whimper.
Then, a few signs began to pop up that maybe the future held promise. On his (now defunct) Twitter page, Matt Chapman posted an image of a possible future script for the site, accompanied by the text, "Someday, when you least expect it…" Strong Bad, the site's most popular character, made an appearance on video at geek music festival W00tstock. It was announced that the Chapman brothers would be collaborating with geek musicians Paul and Storm on a new video. Then, on April Fool's Day, the first new cartoon in years debuted on the site, a piece poking fun at how long it had been between updates.
"We should do this again soon," Strong Bad said at the end of the cartoon.
"Three years soon, or five years soon?" Homestar Runner replied.
Well, apparently, it'll be more like six months soon. During an appearance on Jeff Rubin's podcast this week, Matt Chapman revealed that the new cartoon in April was not just a one-off joke, but a test — to see if fans would respond to new content on the site after all this time. The answer was a resounding yes.
"When we did that April Fool's update this year, way more people looked at it than we ever even imagined would have at this point," Chapman said. He then added words that were music to the ears of any fan: "We'd love to start making things again."
The indications are that the site will begin posting new cartoons this fall (which means that holy cow, we might actually get a new Halloween short this year, too). But no matter when it happens, fans will be more than happy to wait for any updates to the site that they had long since written off as forgotten.
In its own way, the relaunch of HomestarRunner.com is a small pop culture miracle, like "Family Guy" returning to the air post-cancellation or "Community" being rescued by Yahoo. And fans of Strong Bad and his animated cohorts will take each new installment as a wonderful gift.
Welcome back, Homestar. Thank you, Brothers Chaps.

CONCORD, N.C. – WKA has received several inquiries about the use of the light check in determining legality of cylinders, particularly those in the oval port TaG engines.
The light check inspection procedure is used in addition to the LAD gauge to ensure that the exhaust timing is within the limits specified in the 2012 Technical Manual. It is used with all Piston Port, Controlled Stock and TaG engines as well as the Comer K80. See the Technical Manual for the light check specifications for each of these engines. The procedure itself is described in detail on Page 118, Section 506.2.
WKA has developed the port timing specifications based on inspection and measurement of each engine when it is first submitted for approval. The specs are not based on manufacturers' published specs, as WKA has found that these specifications do not always match the engines submitted for approval.
Engine builders should be aware that both the LAD tool and the light check are being used in post-race technical inspection. They should pay particular attention to any cylinder with a Nicasil plated bore that has been re plated, as the process of stripping the old Nicasil finish out of the cylinder can affect the controlling edge of the port.
As a final note, engine builders need to be aware that WKA measures port timing in fractions of an inch below top-dead-center, not degrees of crankshaft rotation as measured by a degree wheel or encoder.

Alright alright alright in just six days we get the fight most have been waiting for. Jon Jones goes up against his first "fairly" matched opponent according to some. Will Gustuffson's size be too much for Jones? Will Jones's skill give us another devastating Jones win. That's two ppv in one month for me practicing kicking myself in the ass now in anticipation for my October tv bill. Here's the full line up.
Main Card Weight class Light Heavyweight Jon Jones (c) vs. Alexander Gustafsson Bantamweight Renan Barão (ic) vs. Eddie Wineland Heavyweight Brendan Schaub vs. Matt Mitrione Middleweight Costa Philippou vs. Francis Carmont Lightweight Pat Healy vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1) Lightweight Mike Ricci vs. Myles Jury Bantamweight Ivan Menjivar vs. Wilson Reis Welterweight Chris Clements vs. Stephen Thompson Bantamweight Mitch Gagnon vs. Dustin Kimura Preliminary card (Facebook/Youtube) Lightweight John Makdessi vs. Renee Forte Lightweight Jesse Ronson vs. Michel Prazeres Bantamweight Roland Delorme vs. Alex Caceres Heavyweight Nandor Guelmino vs. Daniel Omielańczuk

What size advantage? Gustaffson is a bit taller (2 cm), but Jones' reach is much bigger than the blonde's, some 9 inches I believe. Still, I guess it's a novelty for Jones to fight someone so tall.
I'm looking forward to Barao-Wineland and Costa-Carmont, though I don't know who Carmont is.

Jones' striking out classes Gustafsson's I think. He's more diverse, creative and unpredictable. I doubt it'll go to the ground, but both fighters have shown that they're not afraid to go there. Even in that regard I think Jones is still more aggressive on the ground and will come out on top. Pound him too.

no dude, his reach is only four or five inches greater. And his legs are only an inch longer. I say "only" compared to nine. We know this is a game of inches, so it is significant. More significant is the fact that Jones if completely bad as ****. Unpredictable striking and movement, awesome wrestling skills. I think he is the greatest fighter I have ever seen, in my humble, ignorant opinion.

Recipe by Bill Sinclair
"This is a delicious cheesecake for eggnog lovers. The secret to a smooth cheesecake is to cream the cream cheese in a food processor for several minutes."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons
white sugar
3 tablespoons
melted butter
3 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
white sugar
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
This cheesecake turned out great! The changes I made was to add one cup of eggnog & an extra tablespoon of rum. I also added 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg to the crust. I wrapped the bottom of the springform pan with foil and baked it in a water-filled cookie pan. I baked it for the time specified and it came out perfect with no cracks. I followed what someone else said and I beat 1 cup whipping cream with 3 T powdered sugar and then I added 1 tsp. rum extract & 1 tsp. cinnamon. It really added to the eggnog flavor. Also, I microwaved the cream cheese and eggnog just until it was at room temp. and I mixed everything with my kitchenaid stand mixer and this worked very well. I'll definitely be making this every year for the holidays!
I was really excited to try and make this, and read all the reviews/suggestions before I made it. Next time I will bake it a little longer and I won't use rum extract, but vanilla extract and cinnamon.

This cheesecake is FANTASTIC. I used helpful suggestions from the other reviewers to make modifications, and here's my advice:
1. I scaled the recipe down to 11 servings so it used 2 pkgs of cream cheese. I used one pkg of full-fat cream cheese and one pkg of light, and it still tasted wonderfully rich.
3. I added about 3/4 to 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg to the batter, subbed 3/4 tbsp of vanilla extract for the rum (I didn't have any rum on hand), and used 1 cup eggnog.
4. MAKE THIS CHEESECAKE THE DAY BEFORE YOU NEED IT (I can't stress that enough; this recipe improves with time, and the flavor is much better the second day).
5. If you're using a store-bought graham cracker crust, there will be more batter than you need to fill the crust, so look up a "crustless cheesecake" recipe and use those directions for baking the excess batter.
6. Use a water bath (I just filled a cake pan with water and put it on the bottom rack of the oven, below the middle rack where the cheesecake was).
7. When it's finished cooking, turn off the heat, open the oven door a bit, and let it cool in there for a couple hours before refrigerating.
This recipe is fantastic - it's definitely going to be an Xmas staple from now on!
Excellent cheesecake! A great way to use leftover eggnog. I didn't have any rum, so I used vanilla extract instead - it still tasted as if alcohol had been added to it (DELICIOUS!). Since I didn't have a food processor big enough to fit the entire recipe, I used an electric beater. I made sure to beat the cream cheese mixture until very fluffy. It was so fluffy that I thought it would colapse after removing from the oven. To my surprise, it didn't. And, to give it a delicate flavor, I used crushed lady fingers in place of graham crakers. The final result was of a very light and creamy filling over a delicious crust. Perfect for making mini-sized cheesecakes (the kind that you can eat in 2 to 3 bites); a great addition to the finger-food menu of an elegant party.
This may be the best cheesecake I've ever made. I brought this to our work holiday party and EVERYONE raved about it. Not too sweet, great eggnog flavor. I did a gingersnap crust instead of graham cracker and that complemented the nutmeg and eggnog beautifully and substituted vanilla extract for the rum. It was very easy to make and the biggest hit I've had at a potluck since I made chocolate bread pudding 4 years ago. Definitely a keeper for holiday desserts.
This is the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had. I've made dozens of them, and people have started hiring me to bake them for their Christmas parties this year. It always comes out perfectly, and is always a hit. I use my KitchenAid mixer and let it mix for a good, long while until everything is smooth and creamy. This recipe is to die for!
Very good. I substituted a little rum extract for the rum.
This cheesecake had a great consistancy - not too heavy yet satisfying in the way only cheesecake can be. I used the Pecan Caramel sauce from Eggnog Cheesecake I at this site - it has dark rum in it and was perfect. I also added some spices ( 1/4 tsp each of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon) to the crust. I don't have a food processor, I just mixed the heck out of it with my stand mixer.

The IRS issued final regulations providing rules on information reporting by foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and withholding on certain payments to FFIs and other foreign entities (T.D. 9610).
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009 (FATCA), enacted as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010, P.L. 111-147, U.S. withholding agents are required to withhold tax on certain payments to foreign financial institutions (FFIs) that do not agree to report certain information to the IRS regarding their U.S. accounts and on certain payments to certain nonfinancial foreign entities (NFFEs) that do not provide information on their substantial U.S. owners to withholding agents.
The regulations finalize the proposed rules issued in February 2012 (REG-121647-10), making a number of changes in response to comments. One area of simplification in the final regulations is the integration of model intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) into the reporting requirements of the regulations. FFIs that are in Model 1 IGA jurisdictions report the information about U.S. accounts required by FATCA to their respective governments, which then exchange this information with the IRS. FFIs in Model 2 IGA jurisdictions must comply with the FATCA regulations except to the extent the relevant IGA provides otherwise.
In recognition of the burden that complying with FATCA entails, the final regulations, among many other things:
The regulations were effective Jan. 28, 2013.

AUSTIN – In an effort to ensure safety at 13 municipal airports in Texas, the Texas Department of Transportation today said it intends to fund continued service of air traffic controllers when federal funding goes away as a result of sequestration, or budget cuts. This action is pending Texas Transportation Commission approval and will be acted upon in an emergency session next week. The action would enable continued service for 13 airports.
"Safety is the primary reason we felt a need to take immediate action for the air travelers and business aircraft that use these airports," said Commissioner Fred Underwood, Texas Transportation Commission. "I am proud of our leaders for taking this extraordinary measure to ensure that those relying on these municipal airports will be able to depart and arrive safely and efficiently."
"Flying is an integral part of commerce in Texas," said Phil Wilson, TxDOT executive director. "Local communities are counting on these airports to remain open for continued economic success."
When automatic budget cuts from the federal government went into effect last month, Texas regional airports were caught in the cross hairs and were scheduled to lose funding for air traffic control service positions beginning April 7. Had this funding not been considered, a degradation of safety in those flight operations could have occurred.
Airports that could receive state funding to continue safe operations include:
New Braunfels (BAZ); Brownsville (BRO); Easterwood Field College Station (CLL); TSTC Waco (CNW); Lone Star Executive Houston (CXO); Georgetown Muni (GTU); San Marcos Muni (HYI); Dallas Executive (RBD); Sugarland Regional (SGR); Stinson Muni San Antonio (SSF); Collin County Regional (TKI); Tyler Pounds Regional (TYR); and Victoria Regional (VCT).
Grand Prairie Municipal and Fort Worth Spinks airports remain funded under a federal agreement until September 30, 2013.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.
If you believe a comment violates the above rules, please use the Flagging Tool to alert a Moderator.
Flagging does not guarantee removal.
Multiple violations may result in account suspension.
Decisions to suspend or unsuspend accounts are made by Station Moderators.
Questions may be sent to email@example.com. Please provide detailed information.

Introducing Sâuçàmobile #2!
We made it through snow and ice. We made it through instant summer in April. We made it through the DC permitting system.
And now, a new Sâuçàmobile has emerged for Spring!
Much like Sauca #1 (we're using numbers to identify them for the time being), Sauca #2 is a vibrant, roving saucamobile, ready to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Same menu: sâuçà sandwiches, salads, soups, beverages and, of course, the very unique waffle-with-toppings > Toffles! On the new truck you'll find the same great customer service, delicious offerings and music to keep things moving.
Now with two trucks, we can be in more places every day. Each truck has it's own Schedule/Truckfinder map on our newly revamped web site! Sauca #1 is taking the "near East" route – downtown generally from N. Capitol Street on the east to 18th St. to the west, and from Dupont Circle to the north, all the way down to the national mall to the south.
Sauca #2 is taking the "far East" route – Union Station east to Capitol Hill and H St. NE, and south to the Riverfront / ballpark area. Schedules are updated weekly for each Sâuçàmobile, and each is also available for special events, parties, appearances, and anywhere you'd like to add a little more than chips & dips for refreshments – more like a global gourmet that comes to you.

LAS VEGAS (Aug. 30)-The New Mexico State soccer team recorded its first shutout of the season with a 1-0 win over LIU Brooklyn in the first match of the UNLV Nike Invitational. The Aggies improved to 2-1-0 on the season.
After a scoreless first half, the Aggies only needed three minutes to break the tie in the second period. Junior forward Layla Todd gave the Aggies a 1-0 lead with a score in the 48th minute from 15-yards out. It was Todd's second goal of the season, and junior midfielder Katie Smith recorded her first assist of the season on the play.
"We actually played really slow in the first half," head coach Blair Quinn said. "We were playing at their speed and trying to out play them. I challenged them to play at the pace we play in practice and play faster. We scored a goal three minutes in, and it was a very nice goal."
Senior goalkeeper Jessica Schutter recorded the shutout and grabbed a season-high five saves in the win.
"The back line played really solid," he said. "Jess (Schutter) made two huge saves. We ask her to make two saves a game to keep us in it, and she made two huge saves.
"We played a lot of players and everyone that came in off the bench elevated us. We got better as we subbed and that's such a huge step for us."
The Aggies continue the invitational against Portland State, Sept. 1 at 11:30 a.m.

The Second Baptist Christian Preparatory School's golf tournament is a fundraiser for a good cause.
"We're working on upgrading our technology, primarily," said John Strother, school board chairman. "We want to make sure we have the latest in computers in our classrooms."
The tournament is scheduled for May 4 at Cedar Creek Golf Course in Aiken. There will be a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
"It's a challenging course, but it's a fun course," Strother said. "It has quite a range of different terrains; it's up and down. The many trees make it very attractive, too."
Jim McNair Jr., owner of the historic Aiken Golf Club, finalized his purchase of Cedar Creek late last year following approximately 10 months of negotiations.
Arthur Mills designed Cedar Creek. The 18-hole course is nestled in the middle of the master-planned Cedar Creek community that includes 5 miles of nature trails.
"A lot of work has been done on the course since Jim McNair has taken over," said Strother, who lives in the Cedar Creek community. "Some of the trees have been cut down to open up the course. The greens have gotten better and the fairways are in much better shape. The traps are in better shape, too."
The cost for the tournament is $75 per player. Holes can be sponsored at cost levels of $500, $1,000 or $1,500. The amount paid to sponsor each hole will cover the fees for four golfers to participate in the tournament.
There will be prizes of $250 in value apiece for the champion gross and the champion net. Merchandise will be awarded to the second- and third-place teams, and door prizes will be given for the longest and straightest drives and tee shots closest to the pins.
"We had tournaments in 2009 and 2010, and our experiences were good," Strother said.
"But putting them on was a lot of work and we were going through some school and board changes. This year, I basically thought we were stable enough to go ahead and hold a tournament again."
Founded in 1996, Second Baptist Christian Preparatory School is for children in 3K through fifth grades. It has 56 students.
For more information about the tournament, call 803-295-2905 or 803-640-5372.

Cena (Champion) vs Ryback vs Axel WWE Championship
Axel takes HHH out of commission @ payback. Heyman comes out the following night on Raw and puts out a challenge to Cena who happens to also be victorious against Ryback.

the great thing about progress resulting in more choices is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE
So here's Ned Resnikoff, doing good work in opposing the shallow hordes who want to tell you that because ereader technology now exists, and they prefer ebooks, therefore there is no legitimate preference for paper books. You'll hear lots of different arguments (and I use the term lightly) for why YOU MUST CONFORM TO TECHNO UTOPIANISM but the long and the short of it, as Ned suggests, is just that people need to enforce their taste. There's a great insecurity underneath the snark and smug superiority that attends to most enforcement of gadget worship, which is part of a larger tendency on the Internet: people who so desperately need to have their choices validated that they must deny that other choices exist. What's clear to me is that, more and more often, people are so insecure, so lacking in self-possession and so toweringly solipsistic, that they need not only to be flattered by media that tells them they are correct in what they choose (whether it's products or services or media), but that they need to undermine the very idea that other rational, thinking people could make their own adult decisions and make other choices.
What makes this so frustrating is that a huge part of the point of progress in capitalism is more to choose with how you spend your money. If every time a new choice appeared it eliminated some other choice, that wouldn't be progress at all. New innovations don't have to drive out established ways that work very well; to think so is a sure sign of a facile mind. If you'd always prefer the new new hotness, choose it for yourself. These things are true: many choices are subjective. Personal taste is real. Arriving at different and equally valid choices from similar evidence is possible. Goods that deliver similar experiences through different means exist. Adults can determine their own criteria for what is useful, valuable, or worthwhile.
Here's the beauty of it: I own an ebook reader. I also continue to purchase more paper books than I can afford. Some people will only buy ebooks. Some will only buy paper books. That's freedom for you! Choice is the point of progress, in capitalism. If you want to only consume books electronically, be my guest. Enjoy. Bully for you. And if you want to tell other people why you prefer ebooks, base on your personal taste, fine. Just stop with the nonsense that this discussion is about anything more than what you like, and perhaps ask yourself why you're so invested in other people doing exactly as you do. It's grating, and frankly, antidemocratic.
Update: This is a very cool response.

Thanks for the post Freddie. I just finished a library degree and reading these blithely classist editorials about how much better an e-library would be is making my blood boil. Check it out - most people don't have e-readers. Spending library money on e-books takes funds away from other programs and basically service rich white users. If you have a lot of rich white users in your community it makes sense, but please can the rhetoric on the superiority of e-books.

If I read another article/comment about how libraries are full of disgusting smelly homeless people, I am going to learn hacking and do my utmost to take down the entire Internet.

Yeah books are my primary luxury. I've spent hundreds of pounds this year. Can you annotate ebooks? Ability to annotate is a must for me.
But then, capacity to copypaste and CTRL+F would be a massive plus. Do they do that?
Otherwise, and unless they're substantially cheaper, the only advantage I can see is weight.

It's a nice thought, getting more choices & all, but capitalism doesn't really work that way---and in its late stages, not at all. The big companies all fall over each other to do things the same way, and this has only increased in recent decades.
One really clear example is how, in the 60s, rock music killed off all other popular music. This didn't have to happen. Rock had been making the most money but other genres were still making good money. But execs were scared of their investors, and they had to show that they were aggressively going after the biggest moneymaking acts & dropping all the others. By the time rock fully dominated the singles charts, the fact was that virtually no singles of any other genre were being released.
Today this is the way with everything. A cut of jeans or shirts "comes into fashion" and soon no one in town sells anything else. One airline adopts a cost-saving measure and in the blink of an eye it's the industry standard. Cadillacs, Lexuses, Lincolns, Infinitis, & Benzes all look the same---this wasn't as true 20 years ago. All the places where people go forth as "consumers" to exercise their ability to "choose" increasingly provide them with the exact same choices, whether downtown, uptown, suburb, or newly developed heartland destination mall: apparel from the Gap & its lower- or higher-end subsidiaries, gadgets & media from Best Buy, furnishings from Crate & Barrel, dinner at Olive Garden or Red Lobster, the same drugstore everywhere, the same kitchen store, the same bra-&-panty store, the green & white bookstore, the green & white coffee shop, etc etc etc.
There are exceptions, but only in sectors where the barriers to entry aren't astronomically high, thus allowing for meaningful competition; or else in areas where innovation is still volatile, and boards of high level investors can't pretend to fully understand what's going on. But when big business has its way, it restricts choice to what's convenient to provide.

Great article, though! Aside from that one point I fully agree.

I recently bought kindle and have been underwhelmed, and I don't picture my preferences for regular books diminishing much with technological advance. So I'm sympathetic to your skepticism. That said, I think Megan McArdle's argument for the future dominance of ebooks is about much more than simply what she likes, and is a completely legitimate argument. So I disagree with the criticisms in your last paragraph, and I think you are overreaching here.

Due respect, it's a fine argument, but I'm not clear who you're making it against. Neither you nor Resnikoff link back to the "shallow hordes" making any such case as you're describing here. Resnikoff does link to a Yglesias post that technically favors ebooks over print, but he's specifically talking about libraries and resource allocation. (His argument seems predicated on an idea that libraries can loan readers to people who don't have them yet, which strikes me as impractical and a little naïve, but I think his larger point is that libraries shouldn't overlook the benefits of the medium in helping them carry out their missions.) Yglesias links back to an interview with a librarian who takes a pro-print stance without specifically citing anyone opposed to that view. Resnikoff also links to a Nicholas Carr that challenges some assumptions about why ebooks might be superior to print. But Carr's point (reiterated in his post's links) seems to be that while e-readers can be educational tools, there are still pertinent issues that need addressing before they can adequately replace print texts.
That's three separate pages (yours, Resnikoff's, and the Sean Lovelace interview that started this) making a rhetorical point about an oncoming menace that don't see fit to ask whether that menace is as pervasive as they claim it is. Don't get me wrong – I agree with much of what you say, and I don't think you're making a strawman argument here. But what you said about insecurity-based snark, and about flattering media as validating one's choices? In the absence of a clearly defined adversary, there's definitely an element of those running through this post. Just saying – if this issue is really compelling enough that you'd resort to RAILING IN ALL-CAPS (twice!), then I'd like to know more about these "shallow hordes" beyond their… uh… shallowness. And their presumably horde-like numbers.

GoGrid regularly reviews, analyzes, and ranks recently published security vulnerabilities as part of its security program. We typically address security vulnerabilities that pose a risk to GoGrid's digital ecosystem during our regular patch cycle. However, critical security vulnerabilities require immediate action. Such was the case with last week's security advisory that impacted software such as Xen, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and some versions of Microsoft Windows. You can find specifics of the security advisory here: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/.
The vulnerability meant a system admin running a 64-bit paravirtualized (PV) guest (such as Windows 2008 R2 or a Linux 64-bit distribution) on a 64-bit hypervisor could gain kernel-level access by successfully exploiting Intel's SYSRET design implementation. This vulnerability isn't unique to Xen or even to virtualized environments. In fact, any guest user—that is, someone with non-administrator privileges—with logical access to a stand-alone server running NetBSD, FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows 7, or Windows 2008 R2 can perform a similar exploit against the OS and gain unauthorized access.
GoGrid's Security team determined that the vulnerability exposed our customers to an attacker potentially gaining access to their virtualized systems. Even more important, GoGrid's Security team determined the vulnerability was a prime target for a "zero-day exploit"—one that could occur on the same day the vulnerability becomes generally known.
As a result, we took immediate action: We downloaded and tested the patch, engaged on of our outside security firm partners to gain intelligence on how the Black Hat community perceived the vulnerability, scheduled an emergency patch rollout over the weekend, and deployed the security patch across all impacted systems.
On June 18, 2012, GoGrid Security team confirmed that an exploit had been published and is now circulating on the Internet.
We appreciate your understanding and support in allowing us to continue providing you with a safe, secure, and stable environment.

Re: Exclusive Two Worlds 2 shots show full details PC graphics
I'll admit I didn't read the article and I don't know much about his game- I'm commenting on the screenshots alone.
Why does so many games have a wet, platic look to them? For a while this didn't bother me but the screenshots here do. Maybe it's because, judging from the title here, they're trying to tout the awesomeness of the fully-maxed graphics for PC, yet it's far from impressive. Doesn't look much better than Oblivion imo.
I haven't read up on the game, but I have a hunch it's got a lot of "DX9 in it".
I expect to receive some flack for this- but I'm gonna' use Crysis as an example. TEXTURES. Skin textures actually look like... SKIN.
Metallic textures actually look... METALLIC!
:buyeyes: And the list goes on. I want more of this in games. I want metal to look like metal, skin to look like skin, tree and ground to look appropriate, etc.
Another comment I'll get ragged on for I bet, but consoles and their dated hardware is probably a big reason for this. I've heard the argument about integrated graphics in OEM PCs being a part of the problem as well. There may be some validity to this, but I'd wager most of the problem is consoles. They're holding us back in regards to visuals, AI, physics, sound, etc. Due to the extremely limited capabilities of the hardware you have to have tradeoffs. Great graphics, poor physics, sounds, ai, etc. Out of this world physics, decent graphics, poor AI and sound, etc. Or really low draw distance.
Guess I just miss the excitement that used to surround the high-end PC Gaming sphere. I remember back in the GFFX days, I had just ordered my FX5950 and was waiting for it to arrive, there was a tech show going on at the fair ground here so I stopped by. Some local company was advertising a custom built computer. It was running a top-end P4 with an FX5900Ultra and was blazing through FarCry (didn't check the in-game settings but it obviously wasn't maxed). None the less, it looked amazing at least back then. There was so much buzz and excitement and now... it's like a lifeless corpse it seems.
And honestly, mostly seemed to happen around the time of the first XBOX and the PS2. Am at the point now to where I'm wondering if this hobby is even worth the time and money any more, or if I should look elsewhere.

What types of filtration equipment do you have ?
What types of filtration equipment do you have ?
SweetWater Microfilter Mountain Safety Research Water Filter - Sale on Water Filters at the Lonely Planet Gear Shop
I have one of these I paid way less this was just the first site that popped up. Works great for backpacking what will you be useing it for camping? or SHFT type stuff?
For SHFT stuff I'm really luckly I have about 50,000 gallion pool out back I figure with boiling and filtration it will be safe to drink
If you only using it for camping IN THE U.S. just get a filteration one you don't need a purafication one for any water in the US are water is very clean
I bought 1 micron filter bags on ebay, they will fit over a 5 gallon bucket. just pour water through slowly, and they will seperate out allmost everything , even most microbes. then just add a few drops of bleach to be 100% certain. presto CLEAN drinkable water.
this is assumeing you are not getting your water from the river next to the old chemical sight, or downstream from the capped off land fill.
I am off the page for extended times due to job requirements, not gone forever

Big Berky is what I have:
Also a small Katadyn for when I am out in the hill country.
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin
hmmm, let's see... (pictures aren't of my items, but examples of what they look like)
A katadyn combi plus filter,
an MSR Mioxx,
and a camelbak hydrolink in line filter made by MSR.
Of course having some purification tablets, the ability to boil water if needed, etc are always good and backups to the above systems. I don't use all three together, but have all three for when they're needed. For home use for everyday tap water I use a brita maxtra. The filters we get here are German made, I'm going to assume the maxtra is offered in the states.
The berkey's are nice. One of my family members uses their's everyday to filter their well water.
Another neat option would be the filter at Monolithic Marketplace — Just Water, Ceramic Drip-Filter
Having the ability to have clean, pure water is very important.

Searching for Deep-Sea Monsters
by AMNH on
Curator John Sparks is blogging weekly about the upcoming exhibition, Creatures of Light, which opens on Saturday, March 31.
Although they look like alien beings right out of a (low-budget) horror film with huge, dagger-like teeth, enormous mouths, and their own lights, many of the deep-sea creatures we feature in the exhibition can be found in the deep, perpetually dark waters right off shore from our major cities, such as the Hudson Canyon near New York City and the San Diego Trough off of southern California. To collect these bizarre creatures, we tow a special net behind a boat far below the surface, an important method of collection not just for fishes, but for all kinds of invertebrates, and one that's allowed us to learn more about the ocean's inhabitants than any other technique. Once we retrieve the net from the depths, we sort and photograph the still-glowing catch on board. These images show some of the extraordinary deep-sea creatures we collected on a recent expedition off of southern California.
Podcast: The New Universe and The Human Future

1.5 Million Watch Whales and Dolphins Play
by AMNH on
In early January, the Museum posted a Science Bulletin showing humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins apparently at play in the wild. Off the coast of Hawaii, whales repeatedly lifted dolphins from the ocean and let them slide down their heads back into the water. If you haven't already, watch the viral video below, which recently reached 1.5 million views on YouTube.

App Preview: Weightbot for the iPhone
looks good but is missing trend smoothing feautres such as 10 day moving averages that help you to see the overall trends of your gain or loss and ignore subtle fluctuations that are due almost entirely to fluctuations in water weight. Look into the old book "the hacker's diet" by the founder of autodesk to see what I mean. It's free on his website.
I want it even though I am skinny LOL!
Thanks theiphoneblog.com for the mention.
AGS: Due to limitations with the iPhone hardware, we weren't able to add that feature. :P
Brett: That's been a common request and we are working on it for a near future update (among a few other things).
Its out!!!! I love the ui :)
Bought it! Gotta support anything with a UI like this.
Thanks Mark! Can't wait (no pun intended) to see what's next!
@Brett If you want a serious weight tracker that computes a moving average and allows you to export your data, you should check out FatWatch.

Summerville defeated a tenacious Aiken team in extra innings Monday to stay alive in the Class AAAA playoffs.
Johnston McCurry hit a walkoff double in the bottom of the ninth to drive in two runs and give the Green Wave a 7-6 victory. Summerville (19-5) advances to face Sumter on the road Wednesday in the District VI championship series. The Wave has to defeat Sumter, the No. 1 team in the state, twice in order to advance.
Im proud of the kids, Summerville coach Alan Bridges said. Its been a while since weve been here and I dont know if we will go any further or not but now we know they know how to win a playoff game and that is a step in the right direction for these young kids. We only have three seniors who play a significant amount so this group showed me something tonight by throwing two out at home from the outfield and just making good defensive plays. Thats what it takes.
Charlie Fessler pitched five-plus innings and surrendered four hits, four walks and five runs. He struck out two batters. Johnston McCurry relieved him with the game tied and pitched three-plus innings. He yielded four hits and only one walk and one run while striking out three.
TJ Hopkins was 3 for 5 at the plate for Summerville with a solo homerun. He also scored two other times. Zach Mosay was 3 for 4 at the plate with two RBIs and a run scored. Fessler and Billy Peatross both had two hits.
My hat goes off to Aiken, Bridges said. They are probably the scrappiest team we have played all year. I thought Charlie did a good job on the mound and Johnston came in and also did a great job. We feel confident in our pitchers so we stick to our rotation. Now Zach will have the full rest he needs Wednesday so we will pitch him the first game and then hopefully make a decision about who to throw in the second game.
On Thursday, the Green Wave broke a four-game losing streak in the playoffs by earning a 2-0 victory over Lugoff-Elgin. The evening marked the first playoff victory the Summerville baseball team had earned since the 2011 season.
After winning the Region 8-AAAA championship last season, Summerville was eliminated in the first round with consecutive losses to Conway and Richland Northeast. In 2012, Summerville opened the playoffs with consecutive losses to White Knoll and Wando.
Mosay went the distance on the mound to pick up the pitching win for the Wave.
Early in the game, Summerville loaded the bases off a fielders choice, a hit by Fessler and a Lugoff-Elgin error. Matty Powell then walked to push McCurry across the plate for the game-winning run.
The games only other run came in the bottom of the fifth inning. Hopkins reached on an error and stole second. McCurry then drove him in with a single. With two outs, Lugoff-Elgin intentionally walked Peatross and Mosay followed with a single. However, McCurry was sent home on the play and Lugoff-Elgin got the tag at the plate to end the inning.
In the sixth, Summerville loaded the bases with hits from Powell and Sawyer Bridges and a walk. However, the Wave failed to capitalize.
On Saturday, Summerville fell 11-1 to Sumter. The Wave managed three hits off the Gamecocks ace early in the game, but struggled at the plate after the good start. Summervilles defense also struggled.
