Otprilike u desetoj godini života, kod našeg susjeda (vinara), počeo sam piti alkohol, jer sam htio pripadati tom društvu. S 13 godina, unatoč zabrani mojih roditelja, dnevno sam pio bocu vina. Kao vojnik patio sam od usamljenosti i neshvaćenosti, često sam se opijao do besvjesti i htio sam počiniti samoubojstvo. S 23 godine dnevno sam konzumirao deset boca piva i bocu vina. Povoda je bilo dosta: pijenje za okladu, mjesne zabave, izlasci i druženja.
Kao vojnik počeo sam pušiti i marihuanu. Od 25. godine tjedno i do 20 grama – oko 10 do 20 jointa dnevno. Povremeno sam ušmrkavao heroin, uzimao kokain i LSD. Između 25. i 33. godine života tri puta mi je policija oduzimala vozačka dozvola. Unatoč tomu, nisam se mogao osloboditi alkohola. Nikada nisam zatražio lječničku pomoć i htio sam to postići sam, ali bez alkohola i droga mogao sam izdržati najviše 4 tjedna.
Krajem rujna 2004. godine uveden sam u Učenje Brune Gröninga i redovito sam primao Heilstrom. U početku se moje konzumiranje jedva promijenilo, ali sam se i dalje intenzivno bavio Učenjem Brune Gröninga. Ipak, početkom svibnja 2005. godine preko noći mi je nestala potreba za drogama i alkoholom. Nisam imao apstinencijske simptome, samo u početku povećanu potrebu za snom. Otkad sam oslobođen od ovisnosti mogu bezbrižno voziti auto. Ponovno imam samopouzdanje, ciljeve i želju za radom. Ponovno mi se vratila životna radost.
At age 16, I smoked two to three joints on the weekends. About a year later, I was already using hashish and marijuana daily. I thought I would miss something if I didn't smoke with the others. I moved into a shared flat. Then I didn't feel like working anymore. Daily, we talked rubbish, played play-station, watched videos and smoked pot on the side. All our money was spent on drugs; from the beginning of 1998, one to two pills of ecstasy and one to two tabs of acid per night. From summer 1998, I was using speed in the mornings to wake up. If available, I also used cocaine and crack. My hashish use increased significantly to 2 g per day. I lost more and more weight, was aggressive and listless and felt as though burnt out. I saw myself as physically and psychologically dependent, but it actually didn't interest me much.
In October 1998, I got myself introduced into the teaching of Bruno Gröning out of curiosity. I visited the community hours irregularly. Beginning of 1999, I hardly went to parties anymore; thereby the ecstasy and acid fell away. The need for loud music, lots of people and action had disappeared. Almost unnoticed, the drug use reduced itself. From summer 1999, I also downright forgot about speed and found a lovely job at the theater. On New Year's Eve 1999, I smoked pot for the last time. Since then, I have been free from drugs once and for all. I also completely broke off contact with the old "friends".
Since the age of 14 I drank alcohol from time to time; later on stopping only at the point before becoming nauseous. At the age of 16, when my girlfriend and I had broken off our relationship and my parents had divorced, I reached for hashish and within 3 years I was using up to 3 grams daily. Half a year later our gang introduced me to Speed. On the weekends I used as much as two or three lines. I tried LSD four or five times but stopped this after my second horror-trip. In January, 1994, I started using Ecstasy at techno-parties. Eventually I used up to three tablets per night. In August of the same year I became emotionally dependent on a boy who frightened me with esoteric death predictions and threatened me. In October, 1994, I managed on my own to stop using all drugs and to break away from my background. During this time of withdrawal I became very depressed, lived in mortal fear and had a persecution complex. I considered suicide.
A friend of my mother's told me about the teaching of Bruno Groening and in December, 1994, I was introduced. Immediately I felt love, serenity and contentment. I felt liberated. Depression and fear disappeared spontaneously after the introduction. Once more I became aware of myself, could mingle with other people and realized again that there was meaning in life.
In June, 1995, as a result of the wrong friends, I had a relapse: I returned to the use of hashish and drank alcohol daily. I resigned from my work and flew to Nepal. There I smoked 5 to 10 joints per day and used the ten-times stronger "hashish" as well.
In December, 1995, I went home. Since January, 1996, I resumed taking up the healing power and managed to stop the use of hashish, alcohol and cigarettes. Since then I've had no further desire for drugs. In the middle of 1996 I enrolled in night school and simultaneously started on an apprenticeship, which I completed successfully in February, 1997. I've made myself professionally independent and in May, 2001, I got married. Today, after 9 years, I am still free of all drugs.
Ever since I was 18, I smoked joints (tobacco mixed with marijuana or hashish). In the beginning I smoked occasionally and later regularly. This made me feel relaxed and indifferent and I thought that in this way I could handle the demands of the day better. I had trouble concentrating and constantly felt tired. I always had to have something to smoke at home. Also, I preferred partners who smoked joints as well. This made breaking away from the drug even harder. All up, I smoked marijuana or hashish on a regular basis for over 18 years.
Through my mother, I heard of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends and was introduced in October 2001. I could hardly imagine shedding my psychological dependency from hashish and marijuana just overnight. But I firmly believed that Bruno Gröning's teaching would help me.
In spring 2002, I abruptly stopped smoking joints as well as normal cigarettes. I am fascinated by how easily the withdrawal from this longstanding addiction came to me.
Kad mi je bilo oko 17 godina popušila sam svoj prvi joint. Nakon pola godine konzumirala sam tri grama hašiša dnevno. Tada sam upoznavala sve više ljudi koji su uzimali droge. Uskoro sam redovito uzimala LSD-tripove, speed, kokain, halucinogene gljive, tablete (Lexotanil, Rohypnol) s alkoholom. Tako se to nastavilo sljedećih jedanaest godina. Kad sam imala 29 godina, suprug mi je poginuo u prometnoj nesreći. Od tada sam izgubila svaki oslonac u životu i više nisam bila sposobna obavljati redovni posao. Da bih ublažila duševnu bol i zaboravila, jutra sam započinjala špricom heroina. Slijedilo je šest najgorih godina moga života. Bez heroina više nisam bila sposobna ni za što. Nisam mogla ni jesti ni piti. Stanje je bilo tako loše, da sam željela još samo smrt. K tome su došli strahovi od policije, jer nije išlo bez trgovanja drogom. Prodala sam sve svoje vrijedne predmete i napravila velike dugove u banci. Sa svojom visinom od 168 cm smršavila sam na 45 kg i fizički izgledala kao olupina. Više puta sam išla u bolnicu na odvikavanje, ali nikada nisam uspjela izdržati tjelesno odvikavanje. Od svoje majke znam da je ona sve te godine molila za mene.
Na jednom Informativnom predavanju, 22. listopada 1998. godine, upoznala sam Učenje Brune Gröninga. Na tom predavanju bila sam sve, samo ne trijezna. Od te večeri do danas nisam više nikada uzela tvrde droge (npr. heroin).Nisam imala nikakve apstinencijske nuspojave. Prvih dana nisam na to ni mislila, a ni poslije nisam imala nikakve potrebe za tim. Nakon dva mjeseca izgubila sam i potrebu za hašišom. Opet imam normalnu tjelesnu težinu.
Danas, dok pišem ovaj izvještaj, skoro da ni sama ne mogu to vjerovati, kako se moj cijeli život promjenio. Od dvadeset takozvanih prijatelja droge, 1998. godine bilo je živo još samo pet osoba. Svako jutro se radujem jer još smijem živjeti.
Several physical afflictions made my life difficult. From the age of seven I suffered from pain when walking because of flat feet. Since 1990 I had a chronic cough and since 1992 I often had sinus headaches. Around that time a numb feeling in my left leg occurred when I was sitting down. In the beginning of 1996, difficulties when urinating because of an inflammation of the prostate were added to all that. Since 1992 I escaped into smoking marijuana about twice a week. Within two years I finally used this drug several times a day. I grew ever more depressed, was afraid of every day life and got aggressive. I thought about suicide.
In August, 1996, I was introduced to Bruno Groening's teaching. Right after that I could stop smoking marijuana. Once again I enjoy every day. The physical ailments have disappeared.
I began to smoke Marijuana at the age of 20. To be sure, I only smoked small amounts and with long intervals in between, for 10 years long only sporadically every few months. At the age of 38 the addiction became stronger and at times I smoked daily while the usage increased continuously up to 8 g per month, I often tried to stop but my will was not strong enough. My memory, my lungs, and my entire physical condition got worse and my marriage and my work also suffered increasingly from my addiction.
After seeing a TV program about Bruno Groening, I attended the information lecture on October 10, 1999, in Berlin-Steglitz.
Since then I attend the community hours and take up the healing power regularly. At the beginning of July, 2000, my longing for marijuana disappeared. Since then I have been free from the dependence and have not taken any to this day.
I was 12 years old when I started to drink alcohol and smoke hashish. At the age of 16 I smoked every 3rd day and by the time I turned 18 my habit was up to ½ gram daily. I only worked occasionally. When I was 20 years old I stopped drinking alcohol and did hashish exclusively. Within 2 years my hashish consumption escalated to 10 grams daily. I vegetated from one day to the next and closed myself off from reality. I escaped from any unpleasant daily occurrences by hiding under the dome of fumes created by the drugs.
At the age of 22 I started to hallucinate. I was no longer able to differentiate between the real and the inner voices in my head and contemplated suicide. In my despair I decided to commit myself into a psychiatric clinic. There I had bad experiences with psycho-pharmaceuticals and requested to be discharged prematurely. Within the following 3 years my hashish consumption escalated again to 3 grams daily. I sank even deeper into despair when my girlfriend had an abortion against my will.A friend brought my attention to Bruno Groening Circle of Friends and my introduction took place in July, 2000
I continued to smoke 3 grams of marijuana daily and continued this way for another year. When I suddenly was no longer able to acquire the needed drug, to my great surprise I had no withdrawal symptoms. Even after 2 weeks of missing out on my supply I felt well. Now I finally found the will and the energy to stop using it. Since June, 2001, I am free from this addiction. I have started an apprenticeship. My will and energy that I had lost during the addiction has returned. .
In 1991 I started with hashish and via speed and LSD got into injecting heroin. I tried to get free of the drugs in 1995 because I was pregnant. Twice I tried to come off the drugs through out-patient programs, but these only helped temporarily. After my daughter was born I started to inject speed again. Renewed therapy attempts failed. I even got back into heroin and had to sell my body in order to finance my drug habit. From 1998 onwards I spent two and a half years in a methadone program, but I was still troubled by worries about the future, anxiety and depression. I was unable to form any normal social contacts. I felt that there was no point to my life. So I was unable to get off the drugs and once again took heroin.
In 2001 I got in contact with the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends via the internet, and shortly after that was introduced into the teaching and visited my first community hour. There I experienced a feeling of calm and peace and felt full of energy and hope. Since then my life has become good. During the following six months I was able to significantly reduce my hashish consumption. The depression disappeared. I have been totally free of all drugs since the end of 2001. I am in a happy relationship, have more time for my daughter and enjoy spending time with people. Life has meaning again. Now I know what it means to have joy in life.

From modrobert (via eurasia.nu/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forums&file=viewtopic& topic=7171&forum=103#33454): I have analyzed the binary and there seem to be an interesting area not mentioned:
Starting at offset 0x144200 there is a pretty big area which doesn't seem to be encrypted. I found the area by making a raw image conversion to get a better visual view of the data.
The arrow marks the area which doesn't seem to be encrypted.
Here's a close-up of the same area, look at the top bar, grains look lumpy there, not even as the encrypted area below.
If you want to have a look, you can find the hi-res image here. Here's a hex dump of the first part of the suspect area.

This looks more like executable code to me, not sure what the target device might be.

Yes, looks this executable indeed, check the strings up there, embedded Linux maybe.

Wireless/Bluetooth firmware!? Unencrypted?! We can't be that lucky.

Source code: kerneldox.com/kdox-linux/d3/d99/btsdio_8c_source.html
By the looks of it, this flash can be read by several PS4 devices accessing different offsets, so maybe we can use that to our advantage and modify data on the fly only when the decrypted area is accessed without breaking checksum in the original flash as a whole.
I'm thinking of a hardware device between the PS4 Wifi/Lan/Bluetooth circuit (or whatever it is) and the MX25L25635FMI-10G flash chip.
I found the Verilog model for the MX25L25635F flash from the manufacturer, so should be possible to emulate the flash in an FPGA for interesting manipulation. Also attached (PDF / ZIP), if their files suddenly disappear: macronix.com/en-us/Product/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?PartNo=MX25L25635F
Thanks goes to cfwprophet on IRC, I learned a lot of new stuff about the PS4. A block diagram of the MediaCon functions is also attached.
Finally, from smhabib:

Monday, November 16, 2009
As December winds down this tumultuous year of 2009, min gift-wraps the top 10 monthlies that did enjoy a positive ad-page gain. To be more precise, the chart below lists the only 10 monthlies that managed to achieve more ad pages in 2009 than 2008 out of the 151 mags that min tracks.

Time Inc.'s StyleWatch, taking second slot in our top chart, has been continually showing monthly hikes in its ad pages. No surprise to see this shopping-crazed mag take a 118.81 ad-page hike in 2009, with a 23.50% ad-page gain compared to last year.

Council tables action on new parking rules
By Matt Ward —
Amid ongoing concerns about private property rights, the Fredericksburg City Council delayed taking action on a proposed parking ordinance during their regular meeting Monday.
"We've got an awful lot of people in the community that are concerned about work vehicles and trailers, people who are concerned about their property rights and what they can or can't do on their own property," councilman Tim Dooley said. "I think they have some legitimate concerns. I think we are trying to get to a point where we are trying to legislate common sense."
Originally proposed in October, a revised version of the ordinance presented to the council on Monday focused primarily on regulating parking on city streets and not on private residences and businesses.
Despite the changes, council members agreed to postpone a vote on the ordinance before holding a public hearing on the matter, tentatively scheduled for January.
"There's several versions of the ordinance floating around out there. I think there might be some confusion and it would give us a chance to clarify that," councilman Gary Neffendorf said. "By taking a little time, nothing changes from today until tomorrow."

Nicotine Gum
Not unlike the patch the nicotine gum also only treats the nicotine part of your addiction. This delivery method means that you control how much nicotine nicotine goes into your body but leaves room for human error. This may help to overcome the worst of the physical withdrawal effects, but will not give the same good feeling or "buzz" as inhaling on your cigarette. The idea of this is that you will not then get addicted to the gum.

These are the most recently circulating pearl earrings in my own personal collection. I used to stray away from wearing the gold-set studs, for I was convinced they were too small and boring for my own taste. Well, they happen to be the perfect complement to a heavy gold statement necklace or a flashy top. Nothing beats the classic pearl earring- nothing. On the other side of the earring spectrum, the long chandelier earrings were a gift handed down from my grandma. I received them just a few days ago, and have left them out to admire. I love how they effuse such elegance and drama, and I cannot wait to wear them.
If you don't have any pearl pieces for yourself, now is as good a time as any to get some! I really love this pearl lariat necklace from Mikimoto pearls, and they also have some simple and beautiful pearl earrings and necklaces. If they're good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, they are good enough for you!

Snooki & JWoww Renewed For A Third Season
April 26, 2013 06:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Jenni JWoww Farley and Snooki have been very busy little guidettes these days, as Snooki is busy with her son, and JWoww took a role on the hit Soap Opera, One Life To Live. However, that doesn't mean we won't see the former stars of Jersey Shore on MTV again. In fact, their show, Snooki & JWoww has been renewed for a third season!
It's true, it's true! If you can't get enough of your favorite guidettes from MTV's Jersey Shore, you're in luck as their spin-off, Snooki and JWoww has been renewed by MTV for a third season. This time around, the series will revolve around babies and engagements, as well as the usual antics of the pair.
Snooki could not contain her excitement as she spoke out to Celebuzz about the news, telling the site: "I am so excited because MTV just announced Snooki & JWoww 3! I'm so excited. Thank you guys. And it's really just because of you guys, the fans, because you guys tune in and you helped us out to get a season three, so thank you."
But there's one small thing that has Snooki even more excited about season 3: "We didn't start shooting yet, but I'm excited for you guys to see Lorenzo now, he's 8 months. You're going to get to see him grow up with me." Awe, we can't wait! It will definitely be interesting to see Snooki in action as a mom, don't you think?
What do you think of Snooki and JWoww getting renewed for another season? Do you love the show, or do you hate it? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it! Sound off in the comments section below!

I never saw the Jersery Shore but knew of it. I watched the last 3 episode of JWOW and Snooki and I must admit it was entertaining. I'm a fan now and will tune in for season 3.

Guess MTV is really hardup for programs. Lets see more of the idiots sitting in a basement 24-7, or laying in bed all day, yep, that's entertainment!

Re-Blogged 1 time:
It's important to note that the 20% down payment required for a QRM only applies to mortgages not backed by the government (Fannie, Freddie, FHA, and VA loans are not included). So, QRM only applies to normal loans and thus the role is minimal in most parts of the country.
Sorry. As with all Congressional or governmental communication, they can utter/write/announce, etc. vast amounts or reams of words without saying anything.
"It is my hope that the final rule on the terms of a QRM strikes an appropriate balance between ensuring responsible lending practices and making sure that our housing market remains vibrant for buyers and sellers"
That's what's known as a non-statement. In layman's terms, a Weasel clause.
I can recognize "governmentspeak" from experience. From my time in government, I can write a 40 page report that says absolutely nothing. Senator Brown is truly gifted.
Conrad, don't you hate getting what equates to a form letter when you're actually trying to get a straight answer from a politician? Our two senators have done that enough times that I quit writing to them. It's insulting. Good response on your part.
Great post and thanks. But what still strikes me as funny is that many of us real estate professionals continue to make earnest pleas to our elected officials about the "unintended consequences" of the legislation they aim to pass (or have already passed). Ladies and gentlemen, the consequences are not a mystery. We are 4+ years into this real estate cycle and the results of laws and regulations such as HVCC, MDIA, S.A.F.E., FinReg and others have had quantifiable effects on us and the real estate markets we serve.
As a group, we must accept that the direction for housing from Washington is either deleterious or non-existent, and we can start pointing out facts and results when we try to wake them from their stupor. Rest assured they CAN cure the housing headache by cutting off the head. That still doesn't help us, our clients or the country. They have a precedent for letting things get beyond control and not noticing while it's happening. Could it be happening again and right now?
I wrote a blog post about my thoughts on QRM here: http://actvra.in/bFn
As stated above, the form letter is always a nice response. I used to write Senator Kennedy, I am also from MA, and his mastery or his offices mastery of fence sitting was second to none. I have yet to contact Sen. Brown but am not surprised to see gov't as usual.
I am interested to see the ripple effect of this QRM definition. Let's just hope we do not see it for some time and we can conduct business as usual....
Conrad, I do hope that Senator Brown listens to what you have written. You speak the truth from your heart and experience. He speaks..well, Lenn said it best.

Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS
12.0MP | 25-100mm (4X) Zoom | $329/£275/€336
>> Click to read full review
Olympus, along with Pentax, is one of the pioneers of the underwater/rugged camera. Its first camera, the Stylus 720 SW, was introduced back in 2006, and the rest is history. Many, many generations of rugged cameras later, the Tough TG-1 iHS arrived, and it brought something new to the genre: a fast, F2.0-4.9 25-100mm (equivalent) zoom lens. This was a significant improvement over the slow lenses normally found on tough cameras. Two other notable features were support for conversion lenses, and limited manual exposure control.
The Tough TG-2 iHS, which arrived in early 2013, builds on the TG-1's already impressive feature set and is even more waterproof and rugged, with a better-than-average depth rating of 15 meters (50 feet). The other hallmark features, listed below, remain the same.
Specification Highlights
- 12.0 effective megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor
- F2.0-4.9, 25-100mm lens (4X)
- Sensor-shift image stabilization
- Waterproof to 15m, shockproof from 2.1m, crushproof to 100 kgf, freezeproof to -10C
- 3.0 inch OLED display with 610,000 dot resolution
- Aperture priority mode
- Built-in GPS with landmark tagging, compass, manometer, and logging
- 5 fps continuous shooting
- 1080/30p movie mode with stereo sound
- 'Tap Control' for (limited) camera control when wearing gloves
- Support for fish-eye and telephoto conversion lenses
|The highlight of the TG-2's specification is undoubtedly its relatively fast 25-100mm lens. At wide-angle, the maximum aperture is F2.0, which is at least a full stop faster than what you'll find on most other rugged cameras.
A 'fast' maximum aperture lets in more light, which allows you to keep the ISO sensitivity down, which in turn keeps noise levels low (at least in theory). The Canon D20, for example, offers a longer zoom than the TG-2, at 28-140mm, but it is considerably slower at its wide and middle focal lengths, offering a maximum aperture of F3.9-4.8. So in the same shooting conditions, at wide-angle, the TG-2 will be able to correctly expose shots using lower ISO settings than the D20, which means less noise and better image quality. At the telephoto end of the lens, the TG-2's maximum aperture is a slightly more pedestrian F4.9.
The only other rugged camera on the market to support a conversion lens is the Pentax WG-3, which supports a wide-angle lens, but lacks filter support.
Unlike some of its peers, which have - shall we say - rather unique designs, the Olympus Tough TG-2 is about as plain old rectangular as a camera can get. The only protrusions are the 'hump' on the top for the GPS receiver, and the large metal strap mount on one side. The camera lives up to the 'Tough' name that's emblazoned on its front plate, with a body made almost completely of metal. The TG-2 is available in black and and red colors, and those prone to losing their cameras may want to choose the latter, which is a lot more visible.
|The TG-2 fits well in the hand, though the grip is small and a bit slippery.
|Like its predecessor, the TG-2 has a 3-inch, 610k-dot OLED display, with brilliant color and a wide viewing angle - at least indoors.
While the TG-2's OLED display looks beautiful indoors, outdoor performance was lacking. It's nearly impossible to use in bright light, even with brightness cranked to the maximum setting. It was also very difficult to use when snorkeling.
|Here you can see the TG-2's LED illuminator and built-in flash. The flash has a range of up to 7.9 meters, but that's at ISO 1600 - a sensitivity that you want to avoid.
One of the downsides of the TG-2 is that its flash is quite weak. Olympus quotes a maximum range of 7.9 m at wide-angle and 3.1 m at telephoto, but that's at ISO 1600, which is a sensitivity that's would result in noisy images. At the more reasonable sensitivity of ISO 400, the range is just 2 meters at wide-angle and 0.8 meters at telephoto, which isn't far. That's not to say that other compact cameras will be a lot better, but it's something to keep in mind if you take a lot of flash photos.
The flash can be used to wirelessly control an external flash - something that even some high-end compact cameras can't do. The TG-2 can work with Olympus' own RC wireless flash system, which transmits exposure information to the external flash (Olympus or Panasonic-branded). If you're using a third party flash, then it becomes a 'dumb slave' system, where the built-in flash simply triggers the external unit.
The TG-2 is one of the most rugged cameras on the market. It can go up to 15 meters (50 feet) underwater, can be dropped from 2.1 meters (7 feet), and can be crushed with up to 100 kgf (220 lbf) of force. It's also freezeproof to -10C (+14). If you want to take the camera even deeper underwater, Olympus's PT-053 housing supports depths of up to 45 meters (148 feet).
|As with all underwater cameras, all of the doors have gaskets to keep out moisture and dust.
It's worth mentioning that during our shooting, the TG-2 was the only camera with which we had issues with condensation. We cleaned and checked the seals in an indoor, air conditioned environment. When the camera went into the ocean, the inside of the lens was totally fogged up for about half an hour, before finally clearing. While we don't know how it got there, clearly some moisture had entered the camera. We should note, too, that we only had this problem once.
Shooting Modes
As we'd expect from a a consumer-level compact in 2013, the Olympus TG-2 has an 'intelligent' Auto mode, where the camera selects the correct scene mode for the situation. If you want to select scene modes yourself, there are plenty to choose from. There are four scene modes dedicated to underwater photography: snapshot, wide 1/2, and macro. Unlike most of the underwater cameras we've tested, there isn't a bluish color cast in our photos, which earns the TG-2 some points.
The TG-2 also has Magic filters (variants of the Art filters that can be found in its higher-end cameras), which lets you compose photos with special effects such as fish-eye, pop art, reflection, 'punk', and miniature.
|The TG-2's main menu is packed with options, and Olympus smartly added descriptions of each of them at the bottom of the screen.
|The Function menu is your shortcut menu, and allows you to quickly adjust white balance, ISO, the self-timer, and more.
One of the nice features on the TG-2 is an aperture priority mode - something that's unusual on compact cameras. At wide-angle, you can select from F2.0, F2.8, and F8. At telephoto, your choices are F4.9, F6.3, and F18. Before you get too excited, though, the actual aperture of the lens is fixed at F2. Confused? Well, like many compact cameras, the TG-2 'fakes' its smaller apertures with the use of filters, which basically cut out light equivalent to shooting at smaller aperture settings. This is not a bad thing at all, since shooting at genuinely smaller apertures would result in lower sharpness due to diffraction.
Other manual controls include custom white balance and exposure compensation. You can also save your favorite settings to two spots on the mode dial.
The Olympus TG-2 has one of the more fully-featured GPS setups on the market. It'll record your location, your altitude or depth, direction (thanks to an e-Compass) and nearby landmarks. It can also track your path as you travel (at the expense of battery life, since the camera turns on every few minutes), which you can import into Google Earth. It also has a cool landmark locater, which is pictured below, and can display your location on a very zoomed-out map.
|In playback mode (above left) you'll see your location and the landmark that the camera thought you were near (above right). If you keep pressing the zoom out button, you'll see your very-approximate location on a map (above right).
The TG-2 also doubles as a landmark locater. Select the landmark (which is Seattle's Space Needle in this case) and the camera will point you in the right direction (literally).
While landmark tagging is a nice idea in practice, in reality the camera often picks the wrong place (its small database doesn't help matters). While the TG-2 lets you change the landmark associated with a photo, you can't just remove it entirely if there's no match.
With GPS Assist data (which is loaded using bundled software), the TG-2 was able to figure out that it was on the roof of the DPReview headquarters in a very impressive 15 seconds. However, as with all cameras with built-in GPS, it struggled when in the big city. As you'd expect, the GPS doesn't work underwater, but at least the built-in manometer (pressure meter) will tell you how deep you are.
The Tough TG-2 can record 1080p video at 30 frames/second for up to 24 minutes, which is when the camera hits its 4GB file size limit. There are also 720p and VGA options available, with the former having a 29 minute time limit. Sound is recorded in stereo, and you can adjust the mic level (with low or normal settings). A wind filter is also available, though in practice it wasn't very effective.
The TG-2 can also record high speed video at 60 or 120 fps, though the resolution drops to 640 x 480 and 320 x 240. When played back at normal speed, everything appears to move in slow motion.

Jack Butland's arrival means Tony Pulis won't have to Beg
STOKE admit Jack Butland's arrival is insurance as they brace themselves for summer bids for £15m-rated keeper Asmir Begovic.
Will Begovic be sold now Butland's here? No, not necessarily
Tony Pulis landed keeper Butland, 19, for £4m on deadline day, only to loan him straight back to Birmingham for the rest of the season.
However, after snubbing interest from Manchester City and Chelsea, Butland has already vowed he has not moved to the Britannia to warm the bench.
With Butland waiting in the wings, it has cast further doubt on Begovic's Potters future with Manchester United among those keen on a summer swoop.
Butland, who is in the England squad for next week's friendly with Brazil, said: "For me, it was important I went to a club where I can play and develop my game."
The Potters insist Butland's arrival does not automatically mean Begovic, 25, is on his way – but admit his arrival provides them with a safety net.
"Will Begovic be sold now Butland's here? No, not necessarily," said Stoke No.2 Dave Kemp.
"But if there is a situation where Asmir moves on to a top club offering big money and we didn't have a Jack around, we'd say, 'What a mistake that was'. It's a guarantee, it's insurance."

John Salt : Ben Spalding
The menu that Spalding has devised can hang with the best London has to offer. Each course introduces a new idea, yet everything ends up on the same sheet of music.
This year we learnt that Londoners are so hellbent on dining wherever the buzz is, there's no telling how long they are willing to wait. Ollie Dabbous' restaurant became booked-up so far into the future, they hired Mystic Meg as a receptionist. The latest chef to generate the kind of buzz that seems to warrant an unreasonably long wait to sit down and eat some food, is Ben Spalding.
Ever since Spalding parted ways with Roganic, food fans have been anticipating his next move. Having amassed a hardcore following during his summer streetfood hit 'Stripped Back' in Hackney, he's now back to cooking with a roof over his head. On the upper level of a newly renovated Islington bar known as John Salt (formerly The Keston Lodge), Spalding weaves in and out of the kitchen like a man possessed. The look in his eyes, one of intensity and hunger; like a man two weeks removed from his last orgasm.
Buffalo mozzarella £7 (bar menu)
The ground level is all exposed concrete floors and brick walls in a way that now qualifies for normal. Near the entrance by the bar is a long wooden table reinforced with metal, where Spalding's sous chef Nathan cooks food from a separate bar menu in full view of the punters. Of course this is no ordinary bar menu, fraught with things that serve as teasers for what you could have if you manage to land one of the increasingly hard to come by tables upstairs.
Greasy chicken skin sandwich £6 (bar menu)
There's things like Buffalo mozzarella which comes in generous chunks that jiggle when the plate hits the table, with a texture that doesn't know if its coarse or creamy, and a balancing sweetness from a warm maple dressing. A filling of warm bechamel-like Wagyu beef with the cooling effect of a minted sour cream and the salady crunch of blowtorched lettuce come in two fajita wraps substantial enough to knock your hunger on its head. There's a sandwich that switches out bread for two brittle sheets of chicken skin – flattened between two baking trays – with a red onion jam and paprika mayonnaise lubricating a pressed cucumber, baby gem and watercress filling. There's an oversized bowl of incredibly rich chocolate mousse made using Original Bean chocolate, which is sourced from a man on his donkey in the Congo or something. Hidden beneath it are little cubes of salt baked pineapple for a touch of acidity. Then there is a soft Jersey milk sorbet dolloped into the centre and a sprinkling of nuts for texture.
Spiced Wagyu beef wraps £9 (bar menu)
The food upstairs is more refined, to the point where it seems out of place above a bar where the music and commotion impose their will on the very air you breathe. 4 and 8 course menus (£28 and £56) are available Tuesday to Thursday evenings. Then a 12 course menu (£85) unlocks itself at the weekends.
Here is where you'll find the conversation piece that is Spalding's 'chicken on a brick', enacted by a London house brick lacquered in a caramel glaze for which you are encouraged to set aside your inherent Britishness and lick it like a house-cat. Between you and the caramel lies a super-smooth chicken liver mousse with sweet corn and lingonberries, topped with a crispy crumb of chicken skin.
Warm Original Bean chocolate £7 (bar menu)
It's good but by no means the best of what you'll eat. Before things even kick into gear there comes a plate of 'nibbles' which includes a little hit of oh-so-rich short-rib in a breadcrumb, and a heavenly miso soup in a cute little glass teapot that soothes and washes away your troubles. A salad boasting thirty separate ingredients is the kind of thing you want to swoosh around your palate and concentrate on, as flavours flick-on multiple switches across your tastebuds. A fabulous hen of the woods mushroom comes in an intense, almost chocolaty aromatic ketchup with Douglas Fir crumbs, lettuce and persimmon. There's a fried Machiavelli egg with a mousse of Yukon gold, smoked watermelon and kale sauce that lasts but a couple of spoonfuls, but how glorious those spoonfuls are.
I could keep going, but you get the picture. The menu that Spalding has devised can hang with the best London has to offer. Each course introduces a new idea, yet everything ends up on the same sheet of music. The sheer number of ingredients you'll get through is insane and every one has been treated with the care and respect it deserves. It's one long infomercial for what Ben Spalding is all about. But he's only here for 6 months. When service began last week, the upstairs at John Salt already had a full dance-card until next January. Ask in a few days and I'd wager it'll be February. Act now.

Nice looking photos and the food definitely looks and sounds great.Bens tasting menu menu will be a winner.
The licking mousse off a house brick thing is innovative. I don't think I would be truly comfortable doing that unless I was dressed as a clown and the waiters surrounded me while singing the Hungarian national anthem. I'd find it a bit undignified otherwise.
do you think someone else licked the brick in a previous service tho?

The Mir are a conglomerate of various sentient aquatic races that oversees most of the Southern Seas. Feared by seafarers as savages, the Mir are incredibly aggressive to those who travel on their waters, often sinking even the most protected of ships. They come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from the small fish-men to the immense sea-goliaths.

Alabama hoisted the crystal-ball trophy about six months ago. Louisville cut the Final Four nets in April. The spring-sports titles are in the books. But college sports officially closed the operating year Sunday and opened the ledger for 2013-14 on Monday.
It also meant the first day of new conference addresses for 49 schools in NCAA Division I.
These moves are largely realignment trickle-down — fallout from changes in previous years that reshaped the Southeastern, Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast and Pac-12 conferences.
Oh, there are some heavyweight moves: Notre Dame enters the ACC for sports other than football, and Syracuse and Pittsburgh bring all their sports to the basketball-centric, 15-school conference.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal

The Big East as we know it is gone, replaced by two entities: the football-playing American Athletic Conference, and the non-football new Big East with familiar names such as Georgetown and Marquette linking with newcomers Butler, Creighton and Xavier.
Remaining power-league moves — Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten and Louisville to the ACC — happen in 2014.
This year, it is about Conference USA, the Colonial, Sun Belt and Western Athletic. They all made moves to strengthen and survive. The WAC was on life support a year ago but will continue without football and keeps its automatic-qualifier status to the NCAA basketball tournament.
University of the Pacific became the 10th member of the West Coast Conference, which has included Gonzaga since 1979.
One conference did not survive. The Great West officially dissolved Monday, ending a 10-year run.
The Great West, which was down to five members in 2012-13, could never obtain an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for its champion, which ultimately doomed the conference.
After ACC commissioner John Swofford welcomed Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame at a news conference, he said further expansion isn't on the agenda.
"It's not a topic of conversation for us right now," he said. "I would not anticipate it being in the future, but we'll see. I don't predict the future much anymore; I've learned better."
As for the present, Swofford said, "I think it's more than fair to say this is the strongest collection of basketball programs that has ever been assembled in one conference."
Schools and conferences at the top level seem content to move along with current membership and see how the College Football Playoff, beginning after the 2014 season, shakes out.
Also, media contracts signed by the major conferences in the last few years extend into the 2020s and beyond.
But here is something to consider. The next phase of realignment might not involve schools jumping conferences, but the richest conferences banding together to form a new classification, complete with its own financial structure and rules.
In a new classification, richer schools and conferences could determine issues such as stipends for athletes — or even allowing them to cash in on their likenesses — allowing them to operate without restrictions that apply to other schools because they don't have the same budgets or ambitions.

I'm working on LOTS of new hypnosis audio files that I hope you will like. My goal? To become the largest site for "FREE" hypnosis audio downloads on the net!
So what is this site all about? Well "self hypnosis" of course! I will actually touch on more than just self hypnosis, but that is the main topic.
I'm a firm believer that we can improve our health and make remarkable changes in our lives, simply by learning to use our subconscious. Accessing the subconscious is easy to do with hypnosis.
Don't let the term "hypnosis" scare you. It's easy, fun and harmless…but it can help you make incredible changes in your life.
For those of you interested in harnessing the power of "affirmations", as well as those who are interested in using subliminal audio, I can help you as well. I have the ability to create either of those types of audio MP3′s
Looking for an audio program to help you meditate? Not a problem.
I am building an assortment of FREE and "paid" MP3′s that I plan to offer you on this site. Looking for something specific? I can do custom work as well. Just let me know what you need.
If you ever have questions, just use the contact link at the top of the page. I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.

Is Mohsen Dayz really done?
Mohsen Dayz's latest track, "I'm Done" which is a remix of Wiz Khalifa's "We're Done" from his Kush and Orang Juice Mixtape, is quite an innovation and complexity comparing to his other tracks. The song which samples the single "Our Time Is Here" by Demi Lovato from the Disney soundtrack Camp Rock, includes Demi Lovato singing the chorus. Mohsen Dayz sings the chorus along with Demi Lovato and adds some adlibs with special effects to embellish it.

San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Celebrates Silver Anniversary with New Award; Opens with "Go for Zucker"
by Vanessa Romo
The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, one of the oldest and largest events of its kind, opened its 25th edition last night with comedy "Go For Zucker! -- An Unorthodox Comedy" by director Dani Levy and will close August 8 with "Rashevski's Tango" directed by Sam Garbarski. The films are stories of people engaged in a push-and-pull battle between living and dying as non-Orthodox and Orthodox Jews, though for very different reasons. The festival will screen over 40 films and videos throughout the Bay Area.
In Levy's irreverent comedy, making it's U.S. premiere at the Castro Theatre, Jaeckie Zucker, (formerly Jakob Zuckermann) is an irreligious pool shark overextended in debt who tries to pass himself off as Orthodox in order to gain an inheritance willed to him by his mother. And in Garbarski's "Tango," the death of Holocaust survivor, Rosa Rashevski, who in life had avoided religion altogether, is the catalyst for three generations embarking on soul-searching quests, when she is buried in a Jewish cemetery.
In other highlights, Danny Verete's "Metallic Blues" set in Israel about two used-car dealers who find themselves on a nightmare road trip after they buy a limousine and concoct a scheme to turn a quick buck is set to screen. Andrew Wagner's "The Talent Given Us" which was this year's CineVegas Grand Jury Prize Winner, is another fest highlight. Starring Wagner's real-life family, "Talent" is the story of a family traveling from New York to LA to reconnect with their estranged son.
In celebration of its silver anniversary, SFJFF inaugurated the Freedom of Expression Award at a gala reception on Tuesday, July 19, honoring local independent filmmaker, Jay Rosenblatt and veteran screenwriters Walter Bernstein and Norma Barzman who survived the years of the Hollywood blacklist of the 1950s.
"I like to think our festival is like any 25-year-old: still a bit restless, testing boundaries, exploring notions of identity, and bringing back another take on the world around us," commented festival executive director Peter L. Stein in a statement. The 20-day festival will have screenings at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, The Roda Theatre in Berkeley, the Mountain View Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View and the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael.

The bump from three Golden Globe nominations meant $1,427,454 from forty runs for Fox Searchlight's teen pregnancy comedy "Juno," far and away the leader on the iWBOT. Miramax Films' French-language drama "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," an adaptation of fashion magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby's memoir, continued to draw large crowds. Boasting three Golden Globe nominations, "Diving Bell" held a per-screen average of $18,855 from three runs. World War II love story "Atonement," the Golden Globes leader with seven nominations, collected $1,806,862 in its second frame for Focus Features. Rounding out the iWBOT Top Five, which ranks films by per- screen average, were "The Savages" and new release "The Kite Runner," a DreamWorks production from Paramount Classics. Lagging far behind was Sony Pictures Classics' "Youth Without Youth," Francis Ford Coppola's first film in ten years.
The iWBOT is based on per-theater averages reported by Rentrak Theatrical, the complete indieWIRE BOT weekly chart is available at indieWIRE.com.
Fox Searchlight Pictures grabbed the top spot on the iWBOT two weeks running thanks to director Jason Reitman's teenage pregnancy comedy "Juno." Expanding to 40 runs in its second frame, "Juno" reached a bulging per-screen mark of $35,686, a healthy 30% dip from its debut average. With aggressive expansion plans for 17 new markets Friday; 100 markets on Christmas Day and 1500 theaters by Jan. 4, Sheila Deloach, Senior Vice President Fox Searchlight Pictures, compared "Juno" to the specialty company's best-known comedy hit, "Little Miss Sunshine," which earned $1,480,000 in its second frame from 58 theaters in summer 2006.
"To say that we are ecstatic is an understatement," Deloach said. "We are so thrilled with 'Juno.'" It's the feel good movie for everybody for the holidays. People love the movie. They come out of theaters and say, we have to go back and see it again because we missed some of the lines we were laughing so hard."
In its third frame, Miramax Films' French-language drama "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" held rock steady at three venues. Golden Globe nominee Julian Schnabel's film based on magazine editor Jean- Dominique Bauby's life after a massive stroke, earned $56,565 for a per-screen average of $18,855, nearly identical to its previous week.
"Atonement," director Joe Wright's adaptation of Ian McEwan's World Way II love story, featuring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, was the Golden Globes leader with seven nominations and the added attention resulted in $1,806,862 from 117 runs for Focus Features. "If you look at release strategy, we were hoping and praying that the Golden Globes would happen so we could take advantage of advance marketing and amazing word of mouth," said Jack Foley, President Theatrical Distribution for Focus Features. "The Golden Globes cannot be underestimated for what a valuable impact they bring to you on in a publicity basis and on a marketing basis. They become much more valuable each year. We saw it with "Brokeback Mountain" and we've seen it over the years." While the film's second-frame performance is just behind the mark set by another limited specialty release, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" in 2000, Foley remained committed to a moderate expansion of 180 runs Friday, reaching deeper into suburban multiplexes. "We always wanted this film to intersect into the commercial world because frankly that world should see this movie. But I'm not saying we've got "Indiana Jones" on our hand. This is still a sophisticated movie that needs special handling but it opens up our desire and our belief that this movie can break out more broadly and that will happen in January."
"The Savages," writer/director Tamara Jenkins' comic drama about estranged sibs caring for their feeble father, remained in the iWBOT top five with $96,938 from ten runs for Fox Searchlight. "Savages" has reached a third-frame cume of $531,737. Expansion plans include 15 new markets Friday and an additional 21 markets Dec. 25.
The top new release on the iWBOT was "The Kite Runner," a Paramount Classics release of a DreamWorks production, based on Khaled Hosseini's hugely popular novel about two Afghan boys and one's decision twenty years later to return to Kabul to help his lifelong friend. "Kite Runner," directed by Marc Forster, earned $471,713 from 35 runs in the top ten markets for a strong $13,477 per-screen mark. More importantly, said Rob Schultz, Executive VP, Distribution for Paramount Vantage, despite its Middle East setting, weekend audiences did not connect the film with recent Iraq dramas, all of which have performed poorly. "I've spent a lot of time screening this film and what we see is a response based on entertainment, based on emotion and sentimental qualities," Schulz said. "That's really what the take way is. That's what they go into the theaters expecting because of the book and they find that the film really delivers that." Paramount Classics expands the film Friday to 350 locations in the top 60 markets.
Other new releases included "Arrangement," directors Diane Crespo and Stefan Schaefer's drama about the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman and her Muslim colleague at a Brooklyn school. "Arranged" earned $5,560 at New York's Quad Cinema for Film Movement, helped by weekend appearances by the co-directors. "A Walk into the Sea," director Esther Robinson's documentary about her late uncle, Danny Williams, and his time as Andy Warhol's partner earned $2523 for Art House Films at New York's Cinema Village. People generally like the film and they like seeing a personal film from a film master," said Michael Barker.
"Nanking," co-directors Bill Guttenberg and Dan Sturman's documentary about the Japanese army's horrific invasion of the Chinese city Nanking in 1937, earned $6,316 from its debut weekend at New York's Film Forum for ThinkFilm. "The Singing Revolution," co-directors James Tusty and Maureen Caste Tusty's documentary about Estonia's struggle to end Soviet occupation via popular song festivals, earned $6,155 from a solo run for Abramorama.
Both "Nanking" and "Singing Revolution" outperformed Sony Pictures Classics' "Youth Without Youth," Francis Ford Coppola's artful adaptation of philosopher Mircea Eliade's story and his first film in ten years. "Youth" managed a mild $4,758 per-screen average for a $28,550 debut weekend total from six runs. "You don't judge a film from its first two weeks in release," said Michael Barker, Co-President and Co-Founder of Sony Pictures Classics. "People generally like the film and they like seeing a personal film from a film master." Unknown to Barker, especially in this highly competitive holiday marketplace for specialty films, and with hits like "Juno" and "Atonement" gathering large crowds and theater bookings, is whether "Youth" will have the chance to grow and win over new advocates.

Tilda Swinton is stopping to nap at New York's Museum of Modern Art at random times all this week, and we got to thinking: Who else would we like to see napping in a glass box? After all, the MOMA has revealed that the performance art installation, titled The Maybe, will be going on all this year, so why not have a few more celebs pop in a for quick cat nap. Here are 10 stars that we would love to see get some zzz's for all the world to see.

Ellisville, Miss. General Electric Co. is seeking to hire another round of workers at its Ellisville aviation composites factory.
The company, which currently has 50 employees there, is hiring batches of 10 to 15 workers every few months with plans to eventually employ 250.
Spokeswoman Kelly Walsh said that more than 700 people applied the last time for a job at the plant.
Applications were being accepted as of Tuesday morning. People may apply in person at a state WIN Job Center.
Unsuccessful applicants from Nov. 2012 are not eligible, the company says, because they must wait a year before reapplying.
Candidates must have a high school diploma or equivalency degree and the ability to operate manufacturing machinery and work with their hands.

Here's Gangster Squad's new trailer--the one unofficially dubbed "the trailer where there isn't all that shooting-up-a-theater stuff, because, well, you know." In light of the Colorado shooting, all the scenes involving gunfire in a theater have reportedly been removed from the picture, but this trailer should assure everyone that, otherwise, Ruben Fleischer's film seems to have its heavy violence in tact, with pretty much every non-sex scene involving some kind of Tommy gun, shotgun, handgun, exploding car, beating, and/or whatever violence happened to make Sean Penn's face look like that.
Out of respect for keeping the film on schedule and also human life, please, crazy people, do not commit any stylized '40s crimes for at least a few months.

Summary:The life of Edith, a former orphan, is forever changed by a chance encounter with James Percy, a handsome stranger, while she is serving as a companion in an aristocratic family. Ida Glenshaw, a distant cousin who is visiting the household and looks upon James as a potential husband, reminds Edith that James is unobtainable by someone of her lesser stature. A twist of events proves that Edith may be more worthy of James than anyone could have imagined. Set in the late 1850s.


text: All, I tried searching the archives and gotomyfnc, but I couldn't find this, and I'm in a rush mode trying to get something operational right now. I'm trying out ZVNC for use on a couple of windows servers in our DMZ. It seems to work well, but it still accepts incoming connections on the 5800 and 5900 series of ports. (The encrypted links are on port 6000.) Is there any way to disable the 5800 and 5900 series of ports so that only the encrypted ports accept connections? Thanks! Ben
