See you then, sir.
In the meantime, here is a comment I posted elsewhere that is sure to be deleted. First the antis comments:
The comments, for the most part, in response to Robyn's post about deleting rude, threatening and generally disrespectful comments, reflect why some need to be deleted. Commenters seem to be on constant attack, and accuse Robyn of doing what they are actually doing. Participating in pro-gun rhetoric, without admitting or recognizing the need for sensible gun control laws. Who cares what parts or advantages, or names, or tiny little pieces distinguish one firearm from another? These 'things' are mechanical non-feeling, non-living things – and who and what is more important? Yes – we all have a right to bear arms, but much like the punishment of stoning someone to death, as is referenced in the bible, we need to put that amendment in context as to what was going on at that time in history, and what is going on today.
Why attack? Why protest so loudly? Why not join forces to ensure your rights, and everyones rights are protected. Why fight sensible gun laws? Why threaten and insult another just because they have a difference of opinion. Hmmm….It is scary to think the same people who submit these comments are gun owners. I have not seen any instance where Robyn has discredited someone's personal opinion, or insulted or threatened them. If we treat each other with respect, we are more likely to receive what we are looking for, and what is needed. It seems this idea is lost….
And, as far as people needing guns to protect their homes, or families, I can honestly say I have not heard any reports lately of someone shooting another to defend themselves, their family or property. I have heard many stories of kids shooting kids, and of criminals shooting innocent people and law officers doing their jobs.

Then my sure to be deleted comment:
"Why not join forces to ensure your rights, and everyones rights are protected."
What does the VPC offer in trade for me bowing to their attempts to ban guns? And I've heard it before, you are not looking to ban guns, but quotes from the site itself say otherwise. You have no desire to protect my rights, pretty rhetoric to the contrary.
Simple fact: Gun owners do not trust the anti-gunners. Robyn claims to not want to ban guns, but rattles off guns she wants banned. The VPC has memorandums on how to confuse the issues and play off of the ignorance of the general public to gain support for bans of "assault weapons" and handguns.
Why in the name of all that is holy should we trust any of you with our rights and property? If you loved beer, you would not trust a Southern Baptist like myself, staunchly anti-alcohol, to protect your drinking rights.
There can only be compromise when both sides have a desire to compromise. The anti-gun side has never once given the pro-gun side anything in the bargains they want to strike. You have nothing to offer.
"And, as far as people needing guns to protect their homes, or families, I can honestly say I have not heard any reports lately of someone shooting another to defend themselves, their family or property. I have heard many stories of kids shooting kids, and of criminals shooting innocent people and law officers doing their jobs."
From the last 2 days. Maybe you should look around before you claim such things. Here is a nice clearing house for gun defense news stories from local papers, suppressed by the media as a whole. The mainstream media focus on bad guys using guns and competely ignore defensive gun use. But local papers tend to cover them. This blog just gathers news stories and you can decide for yourself the utility of defensive gun use.
Fat chance this posting will ever be seen.
It is terribly depressing when anti-gunner fail to be anything but vaugely silly. It was like watching Sarah Brady and seeing only a sad little woman with a disabled husband, battling lung cancer and sheepishly admitting she is still smoking while taking chemo.
Regardless of his shrill "accusations" of gunnutter and liberal musings about knuckle draggers like me, ATR is just a guy reacting to his fears in the opposite way we do.
I hate to admit it, but ATR, outside of his "IMMOREAFRAIDOFYOURGUNTHANYOUCANPOSSIBLYIMAGINE" he seems like a decent, if liberal, sort.
But Jadegold is still a dork (unless he has pictures of himself and his cute as a button daughter out there too. Then I'll be in trouble.)
Darn all you cute kids!!!
But then I look at this and still get a bit annoyed.
"Understood. You care more about your ability to go shoot a gun at targets for fun than about children dying from gunfire. Slavery was also a practice in many Southern families "for generations" and moral conscience dictated that that was trumped by the damage that tradition did to others. You think your 'right' to go shoot at a deer for sport is as important as the safety of children? Who lacks perspective again?
Comment by ATR — August 24, 2007 @ 12:26 pm"
My tolerance of antis is a one day at a time process.
I can still honestly say that in the last year or so, in the LOCAL community, I have heard MAYBE of one case where a homeowner was defending themselves and used a gun. We are discussing the gun violence in Albany, and the proliferation of illegal weapons in the hands of our youth, and the laws in NEW YORK. Interesting the you chose to ignore the rest of the post, and also claim to know me and say I can not be trusted to support the rights of others. It seems that pro-gun-people twist what is said to meet their needs when they are up against the wall and cannot dispute what is being said. What is that old expression, 'me thinks tho' doth protest too much?' When the idea of working together is posed, it is declared that this cannot be done. You are correct, nothing will be accomplished without the desire and required vision.
We have a collection of armed citizen stories from around NY on our website:
Look at the posts on Robyn's site and here from individuals like ATR(alex), Jadegold, Sentinel, and warvet and then ask yourself whymost of us don't feel we can work w/ the anti's. Robyn every once in awhile throws out the "I don't want to ban guns" line and then touts the "gunguys" as an excellent website for anti-gunners. This is a site that is funded by anti-gun groups and espouses bans on most firearms. The Brady Campaign makes the same sort of "no ban"statements but then admits to supporting bans on "assault weapons" .50 cal rifles, and laws that have included confiscations. They also fill their posts w/ hate filled diatribes that insult gun owners.
We dispute what is being said all the time w/ evidence and facts. It's sites like Robyn's, brady campaign, and ATR that routinely delete the majority of posts that prove them wrong.
It seems "pro-gun-people" aren't the only ones w/ clouded vision.
The interpretation of working together as Robyn and I'm guessing Survivor 100 is that I give up my rights with nothing in return. I think that is what Mike the army Officer is saying. Its not that pro gunners like myself don't want to work to end violence among our youth etc.. but as a whole feel that giving up our rights is not the way to do it. If the laws already on the books are enforced you will actually see less violence. Additionally, once our rights – choose whatever amendment you want – are limited or abolished you will see a much more violent society and one needs to look no further than England and Australia to see that. One anti-gunner on Robyn's blog actually compared my deer hunting with violence among kids – the basic tenet being that if I gave up my firearms that I use to hunt deer than more kids would be saved from gun violence – What!? are you kidding me. Here's how that would play out. I would give up my rights to own a firearm and subsequently deer hunting. Then I would watch as violent crime rates rose dramatically because no one, including me can defend themsleves. Now I have more violence and I cannot hunt (deer or anything else for that matter) but more importantly I have given up my rights that I have zero chance of getting back.
I'm sorry but all the evidence I have seen – comparing the US to England and Australia is that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens reduces overall crime rates – period!!
As far as actually needing a firearm for home/self defense I've read (unfortunately I don't remember where to give proper credit) its like having a first aid kit. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it – I agree!!
"sensible gun laws"? That in itself is an insult directed at most firearm owners. Saying that means that opposing them makes us "non-sensible". Which "sensible laws" would you be talking about? The ones banning handguns? "assault weapons"? Registration? Allowing 3rd party lawsuits?
You made a statement regarding you not having seen any DGU's in the news several times. Mike responds w/ numerous cases. You then return w/ a qualifier to your statement. That's called "moving the goalposts". You throw in a couple of personal attacks against the other posters right after you make a statement decrying other posters for insults. That's a little disingenuous, don't you think?
Why did you refuse to answer the question"What does the VPC offer in trade for me bowing to their attempts to ban guns?" Did you ignore that part of the post?
You also take the phrase "any of you" and make it singularly directed towards you. Seems you're the one twisting the words of others.
Sensible gun laws to include, for starters, holding illegal gun dealers accountable. Sensible gun laws including ballistic tracking information so we can determine where the guns that are being used to kill 15 year olds are coming from.
I would think you would be all for any laws and punishments that enforce responsible gun ownership. The number of murders committed by criminals, or accidents by gun fire far outnumber the killings committed by people defending themselves.
Well said, gentlemen.
The bottom line, apart from any attempts to confuse the issue (pick your logical fallacy), is the loss of rights. The antis would have us give up quietly, whether a little at a time or through massive government action.
Guns are a useful tool with a certain amount of risk attached to them. Antis are more than willing to legislate gun rights out of existance in ways they would not for other tools. If they were really just trying "to save the lives of children" they would call for laws that make the national speed limit 25mph. After all, if it would save children's lives, then why would you selfish people want to drive so fast? The government would still have access to fast vehicles, and if you wanted to drive fast then you can rent a car on a special government approved track. But we all know that it is not about saving lives at all, or there would be actual enforcement of law and punishment for the bad guys.
Ultimately this is a moral issue, self defense versus depending on others for your defense. The Brits are finding out the end of the line starting with gun control is the criminalization of self defense as a concept. First guns, then knives, then chemical sprays, the Brits are now seeing unarmed defense punished while criminal activity is rampant and the police find it too difficult to prosecute. My mother just got back from an extended trip to England and, at due to the advice of friends there, chose to avoid London. It has become too risky for a an unarmed 60 year old woman to walk around there.
If you really break all of the anti-gun rhetoric down, it is anti-self defense. I think a lot of it is about fear. If I stand up and take responsibility for my defense, using the best tools available, I still might fail. Then the failure is my responsibility. If I demand that others defend me, and they fail, I do not have to blame myself. It is their fault.
Free men and women are forced to take responsibility for themselves. That is scary in an of itself, but the best of us are equal to the challenge.
Mr. King, how about a thread on the morality of self defense? Call 911 for your protection vs call 911 for someone to get the bad guy's dead body out of your living room?
Another post that will never see the light of day. My challenge to antis for honesty:
"Can you antis actually, without appeals to emotion and heavy use of logical falacies, define the issue as you see it? Not "I don't want to ban guns" then "these are the guns I want to ban". Just an honest laying out of your goals.
If it is disarmament or criminalization of self defense, then just say so. ATR has no pretensions about his wish to ban all of the scary evil guns. The VPC still has memos on it's site describing how to confuse the issues to make banning guns easier to do. Just admit that you believe that "self" defense is the job of the government and no citizen has a right to protect their property, dignity, life or loved ones using force.
I am happy to admit that I believe that giving the bad guys any right to my property, dignity or life is unacceptable. I believe that anyone violating the boundaries of my home after dark has given up their right to live. If I choose not to kill them that is my decision. I should not have to give them a chance to run off, or be forced to retreat and give them the right to force me from my home. I believe that giving the bad guys the right to take my stuff is unacceptable. "Just give them what they want" is a large part of the reason we are in the situation we are in. Gangs are allowed to hold entire communities hostage in Albany while people discuss restricting legal gun owners as a way to stop violence. Criminals are laughing at the likes of you, Jadegold and ATR. You are their best friend."
Fortunately you do not delete for ideological reasons.
Dealers who knowingly sell to straw purchasers or those not legally able to purchase are already breaking the law. No one's opposing that so that point's a strawman.
Ballistic Fingerprinting has already been studied, implemented, and dismissed as ineffective by NY, CA, and MD. "Microstamping" has only been positively reviewed by the patent holders w/ numerous other studies finding questionable results.
It's nice that you have to put in the qualifier of "killings in defense". Than conveniently ignores all the defensive firearm uses that don't involve the death of the criminal.
I support laws that don't put the onus of crime on the victims of crime. "Safe Storage", "Mandatory Reporting", etc. all punish victims of crime instead of the criminals who commit the crimes.

- Be gentle. Wash your drinkware by hand, as the dishwasher can be damaging to bottles, and the narrow nature of metal bottles means dishwasher detergent may not hit all interior surfaces. (Exception: if you have a plastic lid, this can go into the machine.) Don't use bleach- or chlorine-based cleansers.
- Clean your drinkware correctly. Fill your bottle with warm water, then drop in a specialized bottle cleansing tablet. Alternatively, mix warm water with a drop of dishwashing soap, put the top on, and give it a good shake. Rinse thoroughly with warm to hot water. Need to give the lip of the bottle a good scrub? Enlist the help of a soft toothbrush.
- Remember that metal is a conductor of heat! Avoid pouring very hot liquids into your bottle, as it'll increase the temperature of the exterior wall, making your drinkware hard to handle. Be sure to allow steaming hot liquids to cool to a drinkable temperature before transferring them into the container.
How often do you wash your stainless steel drinkware?

Every real estate agent I talk to gives me a different story for why they got in the business. But, no matter where the story starts it inevitably finds its way to, "I wanted to be my own boss."
So, with more agents ditching the high office fees and working from home, many fear the 3 big myths about working remotely. Today we bust the top 3 myths agents have about working remotely.
I Don't Want To Look Like an Amateur
No question the agent of tomorrow needs to be more nimble and watch her expenses, but no one wants to look like an amateur doing it. The truth is you don't have to.
Use the many resources at your disposal to seem bigger than you. The biggest issue for most agents is where to meet and greet with clients. I'd never suggest you meet with new clients at your home. So, what do you do without a conference room?
The old stand-by has always been a local coffee shop or café, but what about calling on your preferred lender or title company. There is no way they'll turn you away, and if they do chances are someone up the street would love to take you in.
Don't get locked into office fees just for a conference room. Get creative, your bank account with thank you for it.
Too Many Distractions
This is the most ridiculous myth about working from home. Are you telling me an office with 100+ agents has fewer distractions than anywhere else on the planet? With all the chatting and gossiping going on, it's a wonder you get any work done now!
Too many people fear they'll be less productive at home or the coffee shop, than they are at the office. The truth is if you want to be distracted you will find something to distract you.
The only issue I've met is trying to get work done if your spouse is home. The easy fix for this is communication. Let him know when you're working, and that you don't want to be disturbed. Besides, it's easier having that conversation with your spouse than with that annoy agent at the office, right?
Lastly, many just think remote working only helps with overhead. The truth is there are many tax advantages to working from home. We'll go into more detail tomorrow, but here's a small list of tax-deductible items:
- Office Supplies
- Software And Subscriptions
- Mileage
- Insurance Premiums
- Retirement contribution
For a full list check out this article.
So, what are you waiting for, start making those prospecting calls in your jammies.
Or maybe put on pants. It's up to you, you're the boss.

About Me Beginner
tried these bags on my new HF shop vac, I never want to use a shop vac without them now. These are cheap bags and do trea easily, their also 1/5 the cost of the bags form a regular hardware store. Main point, they do the job and keep the dusty mess in a bag.

About Me Frequent User
These bags are very good! Learned my lesson the hard way vacuuming up drywall dust directly into dry vacs. Now I use a bag + a blue filter for just about anything - dust, loose nails/staples, plaster, etc. Pretty much fill it up to the brim. Hasn't broken on me yet.

The WORST bags EVER!!!
By The Fungus
from Mo. City, Texas
AVOID THESE! These are the worst vacuum bags in the history of the world. I was just vacuuming dust from a tile floor. The bag ripped and spewed a cloud of dust back on the floor about every 5 minutes. Since it was too late in the day to buy a different bag, I used a half roll of duct tape and finally finished. So once you cover about 80% of the bag with tape it improves to barely usable. DO NOT BUY these unless it's as a prank on someone else.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Made of thin paper that rips quickly
By WiFied
from LA
See all my reviews
If you're needing bags for the HF 5 gallon shop vac, do yourself a favor and purchase bags at either orange or blue - they are made of a much more tear-resistant material and last much longer. These HF bags rip very quickly, pumping their contents into your vacuum and out into your room.

Annual fruitcake toss in A.C. raises money for charity - Philly.com: Apparently, there were few rules. OK, no rules. People could stand where they wanted and just let fly at the bull's-eye. Hit or miss, it didn't matter.
What mattered was that the proceeds - people paid $1 per fruitcake, $3 for five - went to Gilda's Club South Jersey, a nonprofit in Linwood that gives social and psychological support to cancer patients and their families.

When we were first married, my wife, Rhonda, and I lived on the south end of Louisville (the Iroquois Park/Fairdale areas). Generally speaking, the folks that live in those areas would fit very nicely into a Jeff Foxworthy routine, and we fit in rather well with them.
One Christmas, we and a few other couples decided to go out for a night of high culture, which for us normally meant an evening at the softball park followed by pizza, or if we were really feeling sophisticated, bowling and dinner at Po' Folks or Big Boy.
Our universe is in apple pie order again. Wrong returns to right. Surreal reverts to real. Upside down is right side up, and forward is the motion, not reverse.
Some of you feel it, too, because you are devotees of Shelby County Rockets basketball, and ever since that new school opened out west, well, the Rocket Pride and the history of greatness have sort of become a footnote in the bigger swings of life.
In the middle of the first century AD a rather heated theological quarrel raged among the members of the early church. The church was quickly moving from its Jewish roots and locale in Jerusalem and into the larger Roman world, and as it did, there were many questions about how to live in and relate to a society with beliefs and practices that stood in marked contrast to the burgeoning Christian movement.
Perhaps it is appropriate that in the month we celebrate African-American history that this week we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the historic rise to prominence of one Cassius Clay, the boxer and not the abolitionist for whom he was named, the man famous worldwide as Muhammad Ali.
And there are few persons I can identify during my lifetime who did more to span the great divide between races, to bring focus and discussion to the principles that Martin Luther King had preached.
In my last column, I began by quoting Thomas Sowell, who said that "it takes a high IQ to evade the obvious" as a commentary on all manner of things that I believe are (or should be) intuitively obvious to reasonable people but that supposedly highly intelligent people try to explain away by using all sorts of sophisticated buffoonery. I then went on to use the recent debate about human origins between Bill Nye, "the science guy." and Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis in Northern Kentucky, as a perfect example of this phenomenon.
On Friday night, the romanticists among you probably were laying it on thick for Valentine's Day.
Maybe you dropped a special piece of jewelry or chocolate or flowers on your sweetheart.
Maybe you sat across from him or her in a dark little corner of a restaurant, sipping champagne or honey bourbon or a bountiful Brunello and staring into the most enchanting eyes you've seen.
Maybe you lit candles on your dining room table and put on your finery to make something routine into something extraordinary.
Thinking about death is not easy, especially when it is the prospect of your own. When one considers the complicated nature of the dying process in this time of highly advanced medical technology, however, it is of vital importance that people consider how they want to deal with end-of-life care.
What do you need to know in order to prepare for your own end-of-life care? There are several matters to which every person should direct their attention, the first being the importance of talking about their wishes with their loved ones.
I could fill up an entire newspaper with my confessions, especially if I embraced the "good for the soul" argument, but this one will shock many who know me or who have been around me for more than a few laps:
I was a slow adaptor when it came to the Beatles.
Yes, those beloved Beatles, the ones whose music courses through the tone-deaf chambers of my brain.
I have often used Thomas Sowell's quote, "It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious," as a commentary on all manner of things that are (or should be) intuitively obvious to reasonable people but that supposedly highly intelligent people try to explain away by using all sorts of sophisticated buffoonery.
In my last column I wrote that there comes a time to turn off life support mechanisms (which support what I called "artificial life") and thus allow a person to pass away. It is, I believe, the compassionate and proper step to take in some situations. The next logical question is to ask, what about euthanasia?
Euthanasia is, according to the American Medical Association, "the administration of a lethal agent by another person to a patient for the purpose of relieving the patient's intolerable and incurable suffering."

text: My husband and I thought our cat Zeek had fleas, We just wanted to try a cheap flea drop to take care of an fleas or eggs he might have. I purchased Hartz Ultra Guard Plus. Almost immediatly Zeek started acting strange. He wouldnt sit still and kept rolling around on the floor. I thought maybe he didnt like the feel of the drops. After awhile he was still acting strange. I am feel cautious with him as if he was my child. I knew something wasnt right. I looked up allergic reactions to flea drops and I found this web site. I immediatly wash his back. I kept a close eye on him all night and as of now he is acting like himself. I just want to thank everyone for writing their stories. I dont know what I would have done if anything more would have happened to him. Thank you again to everyone.

The woolly mammoth vanished from the face of the earth some 10,000 years ago. Nevertheless, thanks to a team of stem cell scientists from South Korea and Russia, these animals from the Pleistocene epoch are scheduled to make a reappearance — once they're successfully cloned that is.
This news likely has some wondering: is there is a good reason to bring an animal back to life who roamed our planet so long ago? Another lingering question is: how will the reintroduction of these animals affect our delicate ecosystem?
In spite of their historical significance, maybe our never-ending fascination and affection for all things dinosaur-related has something to do with the decision to clone the woolly mammoth. It's no longer a question of whether or not scientists can successfully clone animals — the first cloning of an animal took place in the 1880s. Dolly, the cloned sheep, made a big splash when she was born in 1996. She earned the distinction of being the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell using the process of nuclear transfer. Since Dolly was a typical farm animal, some, although impressed by her birth, may not have given her much additional thought. On the other hand, the cloning of a prehistoric creature is another story altogether.
Perhaps in an effort to endear itself to us in today's world, or by sheer coincidence, the woolly mammoth has grabbed a few additional headlines since the announcement of its cloning plans. Searching in northern Siberia for ancient tusks, British scientists recently unearthed a juvenile mammoth that was found in a near-perfect state of preservation who they nicknamed "Yuka." Yuka is estimated to be more than 10,000 years old, and was likely three to four years old at the time of its death. Remarkably, this young mammoth was found with strawberry blond hair (unlike the dark hair that mammoths are known to have had) in addition to well-preserved footpads.
Is it possible that we'll have a prehistoric animal preserve to visit in the near future? Is the day coming when crowds will clamor to get a glimpse of cloned woolly mammoths as they mingle with other cloned prehistoric creatures? The answer appears to be a definite maybe. Maybe a better question to ask now is: will an actual Jurassic Park open before the fourth installment of the film?

Look at those IVORY TUSKS! What happens to animals with IVORY TUSKS?
You got it!
I can just see the dollar signs in those researchers eyes. They need to understand that just because you CAN do something does not mean that you SHOULD.
it doesn't belong here. In our time. It would be in a cage or in a park.. not living like it was meant to. furthermore, we have so many pressing issues.. why waste billions on something so pointless? Just to say we can?
Ok if they bring it back what does it eat and how will we ever feed it?
I get it. I get the thrill and challenge of playing God, bringing back to life something nature abandoned millennia ago.
Kind of ironic...
Our magnificent modern elephant is threatened by anything from abject cruelty to extinction, losing physical and spiritual ground in every arena in which they exist, and science's answer is to bring back to life a prehistoric elephant that needs even more terrain to survive.
Yes, why not populate our world's pristine forests with yet another testament to mankind's egotistical stupidity and upset a delicate balance fine tuned over the millennia since its demise?
It is we, the sane people of the world, who must ensure this can never come to fruition. Haven't we yet learned the moral of Frankenstein's Monster, ironically, born of those forests we need to protect?
"Remarkably, this young mammoth was found with strawberry blond hair (unlike the dark hair that mammoths are known to have had)"
There we go again, as soon as we find PROOF of something that doesn't agree with scientists speculations, we dismiss it.
What this should read is "(unlike the dark hair that mammoths are BELIEVED to have had).
This is typical of the evolutionist theory. Sorry, but from this sort of time period, we don't KNOW anything, we speculate on a theory which is then backed up by anything we can lay our hands on and worse still, we then teach it as the TRUTH.
"...affection for all things dinosaur-related"
Why are you lumping mammoths and dinosaurs in the same article? One is a mammal, the other reptilian. Most importantly-- did not live at the same time---- unless you are a Creationist.
Dinosaurs disappeared from our planet over 65 MILLION years ago.
If scientists do clone wooly mammoths they would have to keep them in Sanctuaries, or zoos or something. Meaning this poor creature would never be free to roam anywhere on earth. Why would you bring something back from the ice age to do this to it?
We should take care for the living wild animals before bringing prehistoric animals back!
And will those immoral poachers look on this animal as just another source of ivory to be gotten in the most violent ways? Or perhaps Ringling Bros. will exploit and abuse them for human entertainment? Or will the well heeled hunt them back into extinction? WTF are we doing?

Grey's Anatomy started the season with much higher ratings than Scandal. But Scandal has been rising while Grey's Anatomy has been falling. Last week, Scandal appeared to have beaten Grey's by a tenth in Adults 18-49 when the fast nationals were released, but, thanks to a two-minute Grey's overrun, those numbers were reversed in the finals with Grey's coming out on top.

Back and Neck Pain Exchange
What are the best treatments for back and neck pain? Who are the best doctors? ... more
See All
My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
A partial list of reasons for continued pain include: disunion or failed fusion, hardware impinging nearby tissue, nerve damage, bone damage, osteoarthritis, fibrosis (scar tissue) that impinges nerve roots, unresolved stenosis, spinal collapse (vertebra self-fused), osteophyte (bone spur) impinging tissue or nerve root and instability.
It sounds from your description that your fusion is not as solid as it should be at eight months. This is somewhat unusual, particularly with hardware.
My first question is what type of fusion did you have? Did your surgeon use autologous donation? Cadaver donation? What was the source of your graft? My fusion was as hard as any bone in my body at six months. But, I had autologous donation. That is, my surgeon harvested bone from my hip and grafted it onto my spine. Today, many surgeons prefer to us rods, cages, pins, pedicle screws and other metal hardware. Sometimes older is better; and that might be the case with traditional spinal fusion. With hardware, there is always the risk that the metal implants will one day compress nearby nerve roots. Did you have this discussion with your surgeon before surgery? He should have asked which type of fusion you prefer.
There is a chance that you have spinal nerve root damage, from the surgery or from before the surgery. It can take a very long time for damaged nerves to heal - up to a year. Sometimes they never heal, as in my case. You can hope that this is the case and that you will see some improvement in the next few months.
There is no significant treatment or cure for damaged spinal nerve roots, advanced fibrosis, osteophytes or osteoarthritis. You can treat the symptoms with long and short-acting narcotics, anti-depressants (to inhibit the reuptake of Seratonin) and anti-convulsants (for neuropathic pain secondary to spinal nerve root damage). The best results are from using all of these medications simultaneously. I understand that you don't like using narcotics. But, that might be all that can help you manage your pain and remain productive. If you have instability, arthritis, osteophytes or fibrosis (scarring), PT is likely to exaccerbate the pain, not improve it. The only cure for instability is fusion (again).
Spine surgery is only 50% successful for pain relief (80% for improved function). I'll bet your surgeon didn't tell you that before surgery. Nor is it likely that the surgeon provide medications that you require. More surgery might or might not help (it could make it even worse).
Finally, I understand how frustrating it might be when you can't pick up a grandchild without pain. But, please know that you are indeed fortunate compared with many others. I am forced to remain horizontal virtually all of the time. I can't sit upright or stand for more than a few minutes. Some people are unable to sit, stand or care for their bodily needs. Many others are permanently paralyzed. I say this only for perspective. As bad as it can seem, many others are more disabled and in more pain.
At this point, you want to hope that it was just nerve damage.
Good luckView Thread

Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
ASP.NET MVC 1.0 is now Live. You can download it right now here. Also check out Phil Haack's post on the release. If you are new to MVC, please check out our previous posts for more information and links to many useful blogs and resources. Alternatively, check out the official site for tutorials, videos, and more.
MSDN Documentation for MVC is also now available: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=145989
Since ASP.NET MVC RC1 we made some changes to the set of properties available to T4 templates – many names have changed (for clarity and consistency) and some properties are no longer available (because the same information is available through other properties). See the following table for the full list of properties available to templates:
Property Name
The name of the Controller class, including the 'Controller' suffix
The namespace into which the Controller is being generated
Indicates whether or not the user checked the option in the Add Controller dialog to get extra action methods
The name of the controller class without the 'Controller' suffix
The name of the view (without extension), as typed in the Add View dialog
The default namespace of the view's parent folder
Evaluates to true if the user chose a partial view in the Add View dialog
Evaluates to true if the user is creating a view with a master page
Path to the master page the user chose in the dialog (to be used only when IsViewContentPage is true)
Name of the primary content place holder into which the generated content will be placed. This is the content place holder id the user typed into the Add View dialog
A list of all content place holder ID's in the master page, if a master page was chosen for this view
The output file's extension (including the period)
Name of the type to which a strongly-typed view is bound
This is a Type object representing the type to which a strongly-typed view is bound. It can be used to get information on the properties in the type and the like
The following properties were removed:
This property was used to tell whether a page was a regular view page (that is, not a partial view and not a content page). However, the same information can be gathered by simply checking to see if IsPartialView and IsContentPage are both false.
This property was used to output the generic clause for the 'Inherits' attribute in the View's directive for strongly-typed views. For example, in C# it would output "<MyType>" and in VB it would output "(Of MyType)". We moved this logic of outputting the generic clause to the T4 templates and instead added the 'ViewDataTypeName' property to provide just the type name.
Have fun!

The folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:
- I'll probably end up seeing it on DVD, but Everybody's Fine isn't really making me rush out to the theater in the way I feel a De Niro movie should. You can read Cinematical's review of it here.
- I like Michelle Williams well enough, but I have nearly no desire to see her play Marilyn Monroe.
- Tobey Maguire looks positively terrifying in Brothers. I can't decide if that makes me want to see it more or less. You can read Cinematical's review of Brothers here.
- In Up in the Air, George Clooney plays a man who basically fires people for a living. In his honor, Cinematical Seven has seven ways to leave your employer.
- Speaking of Up in the Air, it's the movie I'm most excited about this weekend. Cinematical reviews it here.

Fear Itself: Family Man
(S01E03) Nope, this isn't Eureka, and that isn't the friendly Sheriff Carter up there. But it is Eureka's Colin Ferguson, and with Clifton Collins Jr. he has created a truly chilling installment in NBC's increasingly "must see" horror anthology Fear Itself. Well, much of the credit to the success of this episode belongs at the feet of Dan Knauf, who proved himself an absolute master of the macabre with his darkly brilliant HBO series Carnivále. He's also been a writer for Supernatural, so this stuff is clearly old hat for him.
And I'm pleased to say that the "old pro" really came through with "Family Man." Easily the best episode of the young season so far and one of the best stand-alone hours of any anthology series I think I've ever seen. Ferguson, who we've come to know and love for playing the nice guy really shines here. And due to the complexity of the story, both he and Collins get a real chance to flex their acting muscles to brilliant effect. From the chilling scenes at home to the overwhelming drama in the prison, each moment propelled the story forward. The only thing that blows me away is that director Ronny Yu, who does wonderfully here, has Freddy vs. Jason and Bride of Chucky as his horror directing pedigree.
I'll admit there have been times in my life that I've wondered what it must be like to be falsely accused of something you had nothing to do with and wind up in prison or worse. Let's face it, it really does happen to people. And as a family man myself, the thought of being ripped away from my wife and son and forced to face the unimaginable is a real, if highly unlikely, fear. Knauf takes this notion and mixes it with a healthy dose of Freaky Friday minus the Lohan and Curtis (or Foster and Harris if you'd rather). The result is a tour de force of not supernatural horror, though it was the catalyst, but an internal and psychological terror.
Knauf proved himself a veritable genius when it comes to complex relationships and emotional turmoil with the expanded cast of Carnivale. (Note to HBO: I still haven't forgiven you for cutting Knauf's vision short there.) (Note to Knauf: Go back to your idea of finishing the story in comic book format. Tons of other shows are doing it (*cough*Buffy/Angel*cough*) and your story deserves proper closure!). And here he is with one hour, minus commercials, fleshing out these two mix-n-matched guys so completely that you feel the frustration of Dennis Mahoney (Ferguson), and the horror he feels when he realizes that the serial killer whose body he inhabits, Richard Brautigan (Collins) is alive, free and well and living his life with his family in his body.
What I didn't expect was the struggle that Knauf would build into the character of Richard Brautigan. After he inhabits Dennis Mahoney's body and starts to try and live his life, he finds it difficult to give up his homicidal compulsions. It would have been so easy to just have him be a psychopath through and through, but it seemed as if he was genuinely thinking that maybe this was a new chance for him to stop being a murderer. To get away scot-free with all his killings and move on to a new chapter in his life. But it just wasn't as easy as all of that.
His unraveling of concern about his new family, when he unloaded on his "wife" about how easily the kids could be taken from them showed that he really wanted to make this new life work. He was struggling mightily with his internal demons. Ferguson masterfully plays his slow unraveling, and the scenes between him and Collins throughout so beautifully show his slow deterioration. And you can tell in Collins portrayal that he can see the inevitable looming.
I can't really say enough about the strength of the acting on the part of both actors. They completely sold their various characters and helped creating the escalating terror throughout the hour. And even though, we may have seen the ultimate ending coming, I'll admit that I hadn't fully thought through the ultimate result of what could happen to Mahoney even after he does reclaim his own body and life. That was a classic horror ending.
- The show opened with a disclaimer that the following program contains scenes of an intense nature, followed immediately by a shot of a church with the congregation singing "Amazing Grace." Religion is intense, man!
- I loved seeing Chris Burke (Corky from Life Goes On) but man did he have no real part at all.
- I kept expecting to see Melinda Gordon from Ghost Whisperer during the hospital sequence at the beginning when both Brautigan and Mahoney were wandering around as displaced spirits.
- Are prisoners really as abused as Brautigan was by the guards in prison? I get that he was a murderer of innocent women and children, which doesn't go over well, but I'm sure such abuses are technically against prisoner policy. It makes sense, for those reasons, why he appeared to be completely isolated from the other inmates.
- Wouldn't there be a conflict of interest with the officer who's fiance Brautigan murdered. Surely he wouldn't really be assigned to guard him. That'd be like hiring a prosecuting attorney who's daughter he murdered to try his case. Or worse, defend him.
- Do they sing "Amazing Grace" every week at church? There are a lot of songs in most hymnals they could sample from.
- I love the parking lot scene for showing Brautigan that he can't control everything the way he wants to, and the dinner sequence for showing the climax of his ultimate collapse with such subtlety and tension.

Expanding and Sharing Knowledge Throughout the Spectral Imaging Community
Abstract submission deadlines extended:
Oral presentations – 15 July; Posters 31 July
See Conference Abstracts for details
The International Association for Spectral Imaging (IASIM) invites you to IASIM-12, the fourth IASIM conference in spectral imaging. The objective of IASIM is to provide a unified open and interactive forum for the exchange of information and ideas within the general spectral imaging community, regardless of the image spectral range (ultraviolet, visible, near mid, or far infrared, or mass spectrometry) or spatial range (microscopic, macroscopic, remote sensing). This year the IASIM-12 meeting will be split into two separate but related meetings, a truly interactive hands-on workshop (Hyperfest), and a scientific conference. Both events begin with an evening social program only on the first night:
|IASIM Hyperfest Workshop
September 9 – 12, 2012
Join colleagues for three days of intensive hands-on interactive number-crunching in a relaxing picturesque remote location of Latvia! International analysis experts will present general research topics, followed by individual and group activities with real hyperspectral data. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
• Federico Marini – Multivariate Classification
Bring your laptops and data and join in this unique opportunity to share analysis techniques and algorithms from all sectors of the spectral imaging community. This workshop is open to beginners and experts in all aspects of spectral image analysis.
|IASIM Scientific Conference September 12 – 14, 2012
This IASIM meeting will include two full days of scientific sessions covering all aspects of spectral imaging. Oral and poster presentations are invited on any facet of spectral imaging research. A partial list of possible topics includes:
• Imaging instrumentation
Technical sessions will include presentations by invited speakers & opponents, short individual presentations, and panel discussions from members of the imaging community.
This two day scientific conference will be held in the Latvian beach resort area of Jurmala.

OSSRD Awarded Children's Trust Fund Grant
The LSU Office of Social Service Research and Development (OSSRD) was awarded a grant in 2012 by the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund to coordinate a parenting education program entitled, "Parent University-Raising Winners." This parenting education program, based on the Effective Black Parenting model, will be coordinated in the following rural parishes: Acadia, Beauregard, Jackson, Lincoln, Union and Vermilion. On November 29, 2012, the Acadia and Vermilion Truancy Assessment and Service Center (TASC) hosted its fall session at Cecile Picard Elementary School in Maurice, Louisiana; on December 11, 2012, Beauregard TASC held its session at Carver Elementary in DeRidder, Louisiana; and on December 15, 2012 the Lincoln, Union and Jackson TASC programs sponsored their session at the Lincoln Parish Library in Ruston, Louisiana. Parents and guardians of children affiliated with OSSRD's TASC program as well as the LA Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), LA Families in Need of Services (FINS), and the Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) were invited to participate in the first of a two-part training focused on developing life goals, modeling positive behavior and learning how to set rules and limits for children. While parents attended the workshop, their children participated in enrichment activities focused on school engagement, bullying, self-esteem, and safety issues. Through grant funds provided by the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund, families who participate in the trainings are provided with childcare, food, transportation and other incentives to help remove barriers that might limit their participation. The second workshop will be held in February 2013. Parents who participate in both workshops will be able to take part in a graduation ceremony at the end of the second session. Ron Anderson, a certified parenting instructor from Minden, Louisiana, is the facilitator.

Hi everyone!
So, I'm of a curious nature, and although I have never done any breeding of my own and don't intend to in the near future, I was wondering, what kinds of expenses need to be considered when you are deciding whether or not to breed your mare? I'm sure it's tons more than the initial stud fee... and of course the no brainer of a couple vet visits and the fact that you have an entire second horse (big fat duh) when the baby is born. But... what other expenses do you take into account? How does it all add up?

New Mom Bethenny Frankel: I Don't Want to Lose "Five" More Lbs.
Bethenny Frankel -- who famously squeezed into a size-4 swimsuit three weeks after having a baby -- doesn't want to go overboard trying to lose more weight.
"I probably now have five pounds to lose, and I don't even know if I'll lose them!" she told UsMagazine.com at Pampers' Daddy Play Date Fathers Day celebration Thursday in NYC. "I like it."
PHOTOS: Incredible post-baby bodies
Frankel, 39, was criticized by some for not eating enough during her pregnancy and setting unrealistic expectations for women.
Not so, she told Us.
VIDEO: Watch Bethenny Frankel sing
"I did indulge!" said the new mom, who welcomed daughter Bryn in May. "I had cheesecake. I had a dessert every day, but I didn't go overboard. I think people go crazy and that's why they gain so much weight. People just have to be reasonable: Food is not your best friend or your enemy."

Her post-baby diet these days?
"I've just been eating normally," she told Us. "You can't ever binge. If you don't binge, you wont be overweight. I had a bagel today. I had a tuna sandwich and some chips. I'll have something good for dinner, but I don't eat ice cream and cake all day or whatever. I try to have good eating habits."

Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir - April 2014
Posted: April 24, 2014|
Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir
THE Spring Concert at Alton brought together The Uttoxeter Town Brass Band and The Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir in a Charity Concert in aid of St Peter's Church, Alton.
A packed crowd at Alton's beautifly appointed Village Hall enjoyed a wide ranging mix of thoughtful and rousing music each side of an appetising Pie & Pea supper by Peter Lymer of Leek, followed by a choice of the famous puddings by The Ladies of St Peter's.
The Choir, accompanied by John Clarke and under the direction of Janet Downing, began with the lively "Rhythm of Life" followed by three songs from "Les Miserables."
Related content
Hits such as "He Aint Heavy" by The Hollies, "Walk Away" by Matt Munro and "You Raise Me Up, by "Westlife" were well received by the audience, and a highly entertaining Guitar interlude by Stan Sorby and Paul Johnson, including an Irish theme complete with extraordinary headgear, put a smile on everyone's face.
The Choir's programme was drawn to a close with a swing treatment of "Lullaby of Broadway", lively spiritual "Down by the Riverside" and their trademark version of "When The Saints Go Marching In."
The Band, under the direction of Rob Smith, began their programme with the march "Amparito Roca" by Texidor and a contrasting version of Elgar's "Shepherds Song" followed by a foot tapping version of "76 Trombones" and the classic brass band piece "Light of The World" by salvationist Dean Goffin.
An unusual arrangement of The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be" and poignant tune "The Rose" completed the first half of the concert.
The second half began in an original manner with a lone drummer playing on stage as the audience helped themselves to seconds at The Pudding Table.
He was then joined one at a time by his colleagues until we had the whole band on stage playing "The Great Escape".
The almost obligatory "Radetsky March" brought the concert to it's finale: "Fantasia on British Sea Songs" followed by "Jerusalem" and "Pomp and Circumstance No.1 Land of Hope and Glory" Led by The Choir and with the spirited assistance of a happy and satisfied audience.
The Band and The Choir are both non-competitive organisations who exist purely for the sheer pleasure of making music.
The self-funding community brass band welcomes players of all ages and abilities, and in addition to the main band runs a development band for beginners and players who have not played for a while and want to give it another go.
Rehearsals take place at JCB Lakeside Club Rocester every Tuesday evening at 7.30pm. Just turn up or telephone 07543 672117.
The Churnet Valley Male Voice Choir welcomes men of any age who might enjoy singing for fun and demands no prior musical knowledge. The Choir has a reputation for creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and provides a varied and regularly updated repertoire.
Rehearsals take place at Bishop Rawle School, Royal Walk, Cheadle, every Tuesday evening 7.30pm till 9.30pm (and afterwards at The Huntsman). Just turn up or telephone 07970654617 to see if a lift can be arranged.

SFA Finishes Second/Third At SLC Championships
Nov. 1, 2013
LAKE CHARLES, La. - The Stephen F. Austin men's and women's cross-country teams finished second and third Friday morning at the 2013 Southland Conference Cross Country Championships at the Ward 3 Rec Complex.
The Lumberjacks recorded a second place team finish and put three runners on All-SLC teams, while the Ladyjacks finished third and recorded one all-conference performance in the 14 team field.
"We put three in the top 10," head cross-country coach Cody Clark said. "To do that and get second overall, it's hard to find anything wrong with that. With Nick (Guerra) getting third, Cody (Brown) having his best race of the year in sixth and Anthony (Gallardo) in eighth, that was absolutely big for us. We are a young team and this only excites me more for the seasons to come for these guys."
Sophomore Nick Guerra (25:03.30) finished less than a minute of the lead to take a third place finish and record first team All-SLC honors. Guerra paced the SFA field and edged Lamar's Sam Stabler by four seconds to prevent the SLC champion Cardinals from recording the top three finishes in the 8,000-meter run.
Sophomore Cody Brown (25:16.30) and freshman Anthony Gallardo (25:27.30) crossed the line just over 10 seconds apart to finish sixth and eighth, respectively. The `Jack tandem both took second team honors with their finishes.
Freshman Colby Mehmen (17th) finished just outside of honorable mention with a time of 25:59.30, while senior Jonus Rodriguez (26:15.60) took 20th overall.
Freshmen Josh Torres (26:28.40) and Michael Barnett (26:37.20) rounded out the field for the `Jacks, finishing 27th and 31st in the 98-member field.
"Going towards the regional meet, the men are looking to break SFA's top finish of third back in 2003," Clark said. "That has been one of their goals and we have a good chance to get there, as well as have a good chance to have some of them qualify for nationals.
"On the women's side, you have to give credit to Lamar. They ran hard and controlled the race. Central Arkansas had a solid race too. Laurie (Byrd), Becca (Blubaugh) and Sam (Ottoman), each ran hard. Some of the other girls had off days and it showed in the results."
Junior Laurie Byrd (21:30.90) led the Ladyjacks. The native of La Grange, Texas, took home second team honors with her sixth place finish in the 6,000-meter run.
SFA's Becca Blubaugh (22:18.20) and Shelby Pesek (22:21.90) crossed just under four seconds apart, to take 16th and 17th, respectively. Freshman Samantha Ottman (22:55.60) finished within the same minute to take 25th overall.
Underclassmen Katrina Fite (22:55.60), Rana Ryan (23:33.40) and Bridgette Kozar (24:25.80) brought up the end for the Ladyjacks. Fite finished 33rd, as Ryan and Kozar took 41st and 61st overall out of 102 participants.
"The women are looking to show that they are better than a third place team and deserve more respect," Clark said. "We will have to prove ourselves at the regional."
The SFA men's and women's season will continue with the NCAA South Central Regional on Nov. 15, in Waco, Texas.

Design and Print Your Own 3D Holiday Gifts at the 3DEA Pop Up Shop in NYC
Posted By Lori Zimmer On December 5, 2012 @ 8:53 am In Art NYC,Manhattan | No Comments
The 3DEA pop up shop is taking over the ground floor of the Eventi Hotel [12] near Herald Square until the end of December, giving customers a taste of what the future holds. To kick off the opening, the shop held a party to show off all the 3D printing possibilities [13] available. The display shelves were stocked with wearable goods like 3D printed shoes, bras, intricate jewelry and purses. Chairs, door knobs and headphones can be printed in virtually any color, while espresso cups and plates can be printed in a ceramic-like material.
While guests sipped on cocktails, a table of 3D printers pumped out elegant vases, and others crowded the Customization Center to design their own printable Christmas tree ornaments [14]. The computers on-site are equipped with design software so visitors can import or create their own designs and then print them in the myriad of colors and materials available at the shop, or choose from a catalog of already designed items. The more adventurous can pick up their own 3D printers from Ultimaker and UP!
Throughout the month, the shop will offer 3D printing classes, Body Scanning, lectures and even special events for children, as well as a retail shop for holiday gifts like no other.

Here in Arkansas, the big economic development news the governor promised finally unveiled.
Mike Beebe announcing a new $1.1 billion steel mill in Osceola to be built by Big River Steel.
The plant -- which will make steel for use the automotive, oil and gas and electrical energy industries -- will employ 525 workers at salaries that will average around $75,000.
The plant will also employ 2,000 construction workers. Construction is set to begin before the end of this year -- possibly by August.
The company's CEO is John Correnti, an Arkansas native who's a former CEO with Nucor Corp., which has a major steel operation Mississippi County. He says customers for the mill's products will include Siemens and Emerson Electric. He said he'll also be lobbying to have Welspun Pipes of Little Rock as a customer.
In all, Beebe says Mississippi County may become the second-largest producer of steel in the country once the plant gets underway.
Before the deal is done, however, Beebe and his economic development team will ask the Legislature for $125 million in funding to cover the operations' start-up costs.
The legislation will filed under Amendment 82, which was passed by Arkansas voters in 2004 and gives the state the authority to borrow up to $235 million to cover a business' start-up costs.
The Legislature will have 20 days to approve the project.

Internet Explorer Untrusted Publishers Mitigations
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 with SP1
|The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration component (also known as Microsoft Internet Explorer hardening) reduces a server's vulnerability to attacks from Web content by applying more restrictive Internet Explorer security settings that disable scripts, ActiveX components, and file downloads for resources in the Internet security zone. As a result, many of the security enhancements included in the latest release of Internet Explorer will not be as noticeable in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. For example, the new Internet Explorer Information Bar and Pop-up Blocker features will not be used unless the site is in a zone whose security setting allows scripting. If you are not using the enhanced security configuration on your server, these features will function as they do in Windows XP Service Pack 2.
What does Untrusted Publishers Mitigations do?
This feature allows the user to block all signed content from a given publisher without showing the Authenticode dialog box to the user while doing so. This stops code from the blocked publisher from being installed. This feature also blocks installation of code with invalid signatures.
Who does this feature apply to?
This feature applies to all users, since it deals with installation and running of applications that are signed.
What new functionality is added to this feature in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1?
Blocked publisher
Detailed description
Through Authenticode, the user can block content for a given publisher from installing or running. To do this, the user selects the Never install software from PublisherName check box in the Authenticode dialog box. If selected, the user is never prompted when code that is identified with the publisher's digital signature is trying to install itself on the system. It will be automatically blocked without showing the Authenticode dialog box.
Why is this change important?
This feature was designed to help users block ActiveX controls and other signed file formats from repeatedly prompting them on the Web. Users had no way of saying, "I don't want content from this publisher. Do not ask me again." Because they didn't have this feature, many users installed applications or content just to keep from encountering repeated prompts.
What works differently?
Previously, the Authenticode dialog box only supported selecting the Always trust content from PublisherName check box, which allowed the automatic installation of code from a specified publisher without prompting the user. Now the user can perform the opposite action and designate a publisher as untrusted. No application compatibility issues should be encountered for trusted code.
How do I resolve these issues?
You can unblock a publisher of an add-on by using Manage Add-ons in Internet Explorer. To unblock a publisher to enable the download of a specific file, you can remove the publisher from the Untrusted Publishers list. To do this, in Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Content tab, click the Publishers button and then remove the publisher's name from the Untrusted Publishers list.
What existing functionality is changing in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1?
Blocking invalid signatures
Detailed description
By default, Windows blocks the installation of signed code if it has an invalid digital signature.
Why is this change important? What threats does it help mitigate?
If code has an invalid signature, it usually means that the code has been changed since it was signed. When this happens, Internet Explorer considers the code to be unsigned, because someone might have tampered with it. By default, Internet Explorer blocks ActiveX applications that are unsigned that come from the Internet zone. This extends that functionality so that it applies to all code with invalid signatures.
What works differently?
By default, code with invalid signatures cannot be installed.
How do I resolve these issues?
To revert to previous functionality and allow unsigned code to run, see the
RunInvalidSignatures setting in the "What settings are added or changed in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1?" section below.
One prompt per control per page
Detailed description
Internet Explorer only prompts once per ActiveX control per page.
Why is this change important? What threats does it help mitigate?
This change helps defend against the social engineering trick of prompting the user a number of times for the same control. Even though users repeatedly refuse, they cannot get out of the loop, and they might eventually accept the installation out of frustration.
What works differently?
The user only sees one prompt per page per control.
Ellipsis placed on text for application description and publisher name
Detailed description
When the text that is given for the application description, file name, or publisher name is wider than the dialog box in width, Internet Explorer places an ellipsis on the text. This helps indicate to the user that there is more text that they are not seeing.
Why is this change important? What threats does it help mitigate?
This reduces the ability of control authors from placing marketing text and EULAs in the dialog box or using other social engineering tricks to overwhelm the users and get them to install the control.
What works differently?
Application description, file names, and publisher names will contain an ellipsis if the text is longer than the width of the dialog box. No applications or Web pages should need to be modified.
What settings are added or changed in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1?
|Setting name
|Previous default value
|Default value
|Possible values
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Download
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Download
(Controls with invalid signatures will be blocked, regardless of zone.)
(Controls with invalid signatures will be allowed to run, regardless of zone.)

Dialing In Your Grind Setting For V60
January 28th, 2013 By joyce | Comments: no responses
Chris Baca of Verve Coffee Roasters in Santa Cruz, CA, recently did a video on how to dial in your grind setting (using an Encore!) for the V60 brew method. The video is very informative for anyone new to grinding and trying to understand the effect of different grind sizes on whatever brew method they are making.
Check it out (at the bottom) of our Grind Settings page, here on our website: Link to \"Grind Settings\" for info and Verve Video
