Virogen, Inc. Establishes New Technical Consulting Division; Newly-Formed Unit to Lead Company's Q2 2013 Strategic Initiative
Mar 06, 2013, 06:00 ET from Virogen Inc.
SAN GERONIMO, Calif., March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Virogen Inc. (OTC Pink: VRNI), a holding company specializing in data security and encryption technology, today announced the creation of a new technical consulting division, which will be the focal point of the company's Q2 2013 strategic initiative.
Virogen's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tiger Team Technologies ("T3"), established its new technical consulting division in response to client requests for the company's high-level services on an ongoing basis. Recognizing that technical consulting services have long served as significant profit centers for many major technology companies, in some cases producing 60% or more of these companies' operating profits, T3's technical consulting services division will spearhead the company's strategic entry into this market niche. The move into this market niche will serve to enhance and support the marketing of the company's flagship business offerings.
The new consulting services division is expected to yield high margins and offer a significant growth opportunity for the company in the near term. The company expects to realize revenue streams from this operating division beginning in the 2nd quarter of 2013. Given the business model and longevity of contracts, the company expects stable and ongoing revenues and profits, while continuing to expand the consulting services business in a carefully planned, well-conceived growth model.
While T3 is fully aware that the market niche to be served is highly competitive, the strong influx of client requests for these services serves to mitigate these competitive forces, in management's view. The solidity of T3's ongoing client relationships with its enterprise level clients gives the company's management confidence in the future success of the new technical consulting division.
About Virogen, Inc.
Virogen, Inc. is a technology holding company. The company's wholly owned subsidiary, Tiger Team Technologies "T3," has developed a very unique suite of copyrighted tools to address the network and database security needs of enterprise level companies and corporations. T3's risk management offering provides an unprecedented level of security and liability protection, positioning it as the only company with a comprehensive solution to data security breaches for its clients. T3's primary markets include medical service providers, financial services firms, brokerages and currency transaction platforms, consumer credit card companies, banking entities, retailers, defense and government related operations.

The sun is out and you've finally received that mobility scooter that is really going to take you places this summer. The only problem is, you aren't sure how you'll get this mobility device to the mall, park or outdoor concert you've been hoping to use it at. Don't worry – EZ-ACCESS understands your predicament, and we have identified your three best choices for transporting that mobility scooter anywhere this summer!
- Public Transportation with Your Mobility Scooter
Mobility scooters can only operate for a certain number of hours before the battery will need to be recharged. For this reason, many mobility scooter users in cities choose to do some of their travel by bus or some other form or public transportation. This allows you to save the battery life on your mobility scooter while still getting to your desired destination.
However, before heading to the bus stop with your mobility scooter, check to be sure your city's public buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts. Know that in general, wheelchair or mobility scooter users are expected to load their mobility device within a 2 or 3 minute time period and that assistance will be available to secure the mobility device. You will also need to be aware that most cities do not allow buses to operate a wheelchair lift on a hill, so travel to the nearest level ground bus stop.
- Portable Ramps for Your Mobility Scooter
Another option for transporting your mobility scooter is by using a portable ramp and your personal vehicle. The length of portable ramp needed will depend on the floor height of your vehicle. Use our incline calculator to determine the ramp length needed. You should NEVER ride or drive your mobility scooter up a portable ramp, but instead set your mobility scooter to freewheel mode and push it up the ramp.
- Mobility Scooter Lift
If public transportation is not an option and your mobility device won't easily fit in your personal vehicle, a great solution is to install a mobility scooter lift. At EZ-ACCESS, we offer the HAULWAY product line which includes the HAULWAY™ Lite, Standard and HD lift to fit a variety of mobility scooter styles and sizes.
If you're concerned with how to transport your mobility scooter, don't wait to contact the friendly service team at EZ-ACCESS! We're here to help you live as safely and independently as possible!

Reform of the Railway Sector in Russia
The rail industry in Russia is one of the largest in the world. Russia's vast distances, relatively under-developed road infrastructure, and high reliance on bulk commodities imply that the rail industry has a unique and key role in the transportation infrastructure of Russia. At present the industry is organised as a fully-integrated entity, operated by the Ministry of Railways. At a seminar in Moscow in December 2000, OECD experts and Russian officials discussed how this industry could be restructured to promote competition, enhance efficiency and to ensure that this industry best meets the needs of the growing Russian economy. The following summary sets out the key ideas and conclusions to emerge from that seminar. Three main topics are discussed: policies to establish a sound commercial environment for railway operators, structural options for competition and managing the transition to a competitive structure. A key issue is whether it would be possible to enhance competition by dividing the Russian rail industry into a number of verticaly-integrated railways, competing for the provision of rail services along the key rail transport corridors.

Found this in a rental house that was built in 1897. Not much about Armour's Grape Juice on the internet, but found a few things that place it around 1910. Same Armour company as Armour canned meats. Anyone have any history about it, or could tell me if it's worth anything? The sign is 18" x 28". There is rust and dents, but the majority of the colors are fairly bright. The top says, "Drink Armour's Grape Juice" and the bottles say, " Bottled where the best grapes grow." Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

The best any teacher can do, even a Buddha, is to help the person get ready to hear the truth. Epstein tells the story of a woman whose child had died. She sought help from the people in her town, but they turned away from her. She found the Buddha, who said, "I have medicine for this. But first bring me some mustard seed from a house where no one has died."
Of course, she could not. But the question led her to her own realization of life's impermanence and the need to empathize with others. She was transformed.
Epstein observes that the Buddha could have told her the truth up front, but she was not ready to her it. Former SMU law school dean Jeswald W. Salacuse makes this point in "The Wise Advisor: What Every Professional Should Know About Consulting and Counseling."
Salacuse writes that we should not speak too soon . He observes, "Inexperienced advisors, anxious to prove their value to their clients, often start giving advice before they fully know the client or the problem … But talking about the substance before you know the client can lead to bad advice."
Salacuse writes that a counselor's goal is not to give brilliant advice but rather to make sure the client has actually learned something.
Remember: We are all Buddhas. We just need to realize it.

Sharp-eyed Jean Kumagai, a senior editor at IEEE Spectrum spotted this item last week. It seems that a group of Canadian universities is putting together a low-cost robotic mission to Mars in 2009, known as Northern Light. The Canadian project intends to land an exploratory vehicle on the Martian surface to search for evidence that water was once present, as well as any signs that life may have once existed. It is the price tag for the mission that has many shaking their heads in wonder. The Canadian group intends to bring in their trip to the Red Planet at a thrifty US $20 million, funded by corporate donations. In contrast, NASA's latest Mars probe, Phoenix, is expected to cost $420 million in all.
The Canadian project is designed to minimize expenses at every turn. They have chosen to use a converted Russian ICBM, called the Rockot, as their launch vehicle. They will also construct the space and landing crafts themselves, largely from previous components. Currently, Northern Light has some 50 scientists and engineers devoted to the project, headquartered at the University of York Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS), which works with NASA on select assiggnments. Joining York University, personnel from the Universities of Alberta, Calgary, McGill, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Simon Fraser, Toronto, Waterloo, Winnipeg, and Western Ontario are actively participating in Northern Light. As of present, the Canadian Space Agency is not involved.
The head of the Mars project, Brendan M. Quine, an assistant professor of space and planetary physics at York, recently told the Ottawa Citizen that his group will be able to keep costs down by manufacturing their own machinery "in-house" at universities, testing them there as well, and designing a smaller robot. Northern Light would be 35 kilograms, while the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers weigh in at about 200 kg apiece.
"It would go late in 2009," Quine told the paper. "We're aiming to have all our hardware together a year from now, and that will give us a year to integrate and shake out the bugs. We seem to be on schedule. We've been working on this since 2001."
Next month, the Northern Light team will publicly test the entry, descent, and landing system, dropping a prototype vehicle from a helicopter to simulate landing on Mars, according to the news account. Team members said it has passed crash-tests held privately in the past.

Question re The Help,
11 comments:
I assumed she did.
- 2:35 PM, August 10, 2011
- Roger Sutton said...
Thanks, Debbie. I read it that she didn't but waited in vain for confirmation one way or the other.
- 2:38 PM, August 10, 2011
- Rebecca Stead said...
I never doubted that it happened either . . . are you going to tell us what you found interesting? Now curious.
- 3:17 PM, August 10, 2011
- Lisa Yee said...
What they said.
- 1:51 AM, August 11, 2011
- TWG said...
I haven't read the book. But yesterday I stumbled across this article by the book's author, about her difficulty in finding a publisher.
- 6:16 AM, August 11, 2011
- Roger Sutton said...
Rebecca, I listened to the audio version, which, dramatically, was just terrific, giving each of the three women a different narrator. (And I hear the Minny from the audiobook is also the Minny in the movie.) So it's hard to distinguish what I liked about the performance from what I liked about the book. At its best the descriptive writing was lyrical but not self-conscious and the dialog was almost always vivid. Skeeter was probably the least developed character--I could never figure out what she saw in her boyfriend, so her heartbreak was not convincing. The book-publishing angle was almost laughable as was Skeeter's abrupt leave-taking of Jackson. But I was very impressed that the two maids did not get Skeeter's happily-ever-after.
The reason I thought Minny's trick was a mind game is that she never connects the dots between what she told Hilly to do and what she did to Hilly. I mean, wouldn't it have tasted a little funny?
- 11:50 AM, August 11, 2011
- Laura Canon said...
I thought that too, Roger. Surely you'd notice?
- 12:03 PM, August 11, 2011
- Rebecca Stead said...
Hmm, that's a point about taste - and I doubt she "researched" the question.
I find that a couple of years after reading the book, I can barely remember the story (boyfriend?). What sticks with me is the writing. Voice ALL OVER. I just finished STATE OF WONDER by Ann Patchett, a terrific and accomplished book that I fell right into and swam through very happily. But it doesn't even attempt what I think of as voice, which is something I am always hungry for. I know not everyone is with me, and I love PLENTY of books that don't have it, but when I see it done the way Stockett has done it, I swoon. (another example: Tim Tharp's THE SPECTACULAR NOW.)
- 12:18 PM, August 11, 2011
- Roger Sutton said...
Yes, voice, indeed, but neither hammy nor hamfisted. I also loved the new Patchett (again in audio). Both books have been accused of cultural misappropriation, which I guess is another topic!
- 1:01 PM, August 11, 2011
- Rebecca Stead said...
Yes, let's get that started . . . I think there is a lot to say but I definitely don't want to start.
- 5:19 PM, August 11, 2011
- Roger Sutton said...
I'm not sure there is a lot to say beyond what usually gets said. Everyone agrees that anyone can write a story about anyone--in theory. But for some critics, that theory is never born out in practice and for others, the writer's rights trump all.
One of the criticisms I've seen about The Help is that the black narrators write in dialect while the white narrator does not. (Again, the audiobook ameliorates this distinction, as they all sound "Southern" to me.) There is a kind of Mary Sue-ish aura to the book, where Skeeter stands in for the author and thus logically speaks no dialect and has no accent--we don't hear these things in ourselves.

This week, outspoken Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman embarked on an ambitious off-season plan to get into a Twitter argument with every active NFL player, including those currently on practice squads.
"It's just something I have to do," Sherman explained. "Can't get complacent. I have to let them know I'm the best and they're not."
The project is already underway, as evidenced by Sherman's recent spats with Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount and Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
Sherman said there's no rhyme or reason to the order he's going in as he works his way through every single active NFL player. In fact, Sherman got a list of all the players in the league and put it into a randomizer. That way his victims won't be able to predict when their time is coming. If a player doesn't have a Twitter account Sherman said that's just a sign that they're scared.
He was mostly unwilling to say which player he would fight when, but Sherman did reveal his next target: third year long snapper and tight end from the Tennessee Titans, Beau Brinkley.
"I don't know much about this dude, but I'm pretty sure I can get under his skin," Sherman boasted. "At worst, I'll hit him with the 'did your team win the bowl last year? mine did. lol u sour.' That usually works."
Sherman understands that this is a big undertaking though remains confident he will be able to provoke the thousands of active NFL players on social media before training camp starts this summer.
"I'm willing to put in the work. That's just one of the many reasons why I'm the best. And it's about time everyone found that out, one flame war at a time."

Two teenagers were arrested on Friday after a car smashed into a house on the outskirts of Trowbridge.
The boys, aged 13 and 14, apparently drove the car down West Ashton Road early on Friday evening before losing control of it in Old Farm Lane.
The red Peugeot 306 ploughed through a small hedge into the side of the living room of a house at around 6pm.
The owners of the house were inside at the time of the accident, but no one was hurt.
It is believed one of the teenagers was trying to turn the car around in the street after pulling in from the Trowbridge direction.
One neighbour said: "From what I heard there were two lads in a car coming round the corner, then they when into the side of the house.
"I saw the house the next day and you could see it had been badly damaged. When you looked at the wall side-on you could definitely see where it had bowed.
"It's a good job they weren't coming straight off the main road or they might have gone straight through the house."
The youngsters, who are understood to live locally, fled after the crash. They were apparently identified by neighbours and arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking and taken to Melksham police station. Two youths have been given police bail until January 21.
Neighbour Bridgit Hollister said: "It was a bit scary considering it was next door.
"We have spoken to the neighbours and they were cool about it, they don't want to make a fuss.
"They say it's only a house and it can be repaired. We're just glad no one was injured.
"There have been problems in the past when people have to pull out around cars parked on the main road.
"It's been an accident waiting to happen."
Fire crews were called to the house at 6.10pm to assess structural damage, and remained until an engineer from Wiltshire Council's arrived to declare it safe.

Assuming you can pick two colors for your ride, which two do you pick? Do you have an underglow trail? Is it Blue/Orange/Yellow for you TRON fanatics? Are there patterns for paint jobs outside of the stripes? Let's talk about Sparrows, and making one more thing about this game about you!

Thanksgiving is the first big family celebration of the holiday season, the first time to, without much guilt, listen to Christmas music and pull the decorations out of the garage.
This Thanksgiving is also just short of the five-month anniversary of the Waldo Canyon fire that burned at least 346 home in Mountain Shadows. The fire destroyed countless roasting pans and cookery sets, thousands of Christmas baubles, holiday music collections and décor, leaving hundreds of homeowners adrift this holiday season without homes and without means to decorate their temporary ones.
For some former Mountain Shadows residents, this Thanksgiving will make their losses feel even more glaring. Some families have made plans to travel, visit relatives, or spend Thanksgiving far from the burn scar. Others plan to start new traditions. For those affected by the fire, the holiday season brings into sharper relief the emotional battles they have been waging since June. Some grieve for the loss of their homes as for lost loved ones. Others are paralyzed by depression or survivor's guilt, while still others have found ways to cope and force themselves to move on. In the back of many of their minds this time of year is a question that has haunted them since summer: What am I going to do for Christmas?
Mountain Shadows neighborhoods that began their Christmas decorating this week will, for the first time, be without some holiday sparkle. Those whose homes survived are without neighbors and homes across the street. This holiday season is about learning to make do, or do without.
For Mountain Shadows, Thanksgiving is a poignant reminder that things aren't the way they used to be.
Jennifer Riese
Since Riese lost her home in the fire, she has been dogged by insurance troubles and has yet to clear the debris from her lot. Thanksgiving provides a chance to turn over a new leaf: Unlike last year, she's going to cook for her family and her 11-year-old daughter in their rental home.
"If I don't celebrate it for my daughter, it'll be like, why? It'll be, 'Oh, the year the fire happened we didn't have a Thanksgiving."
Riese has returned three times since June to her burned lot in the Parkside community. She used to love driving on Flying W Ranch Road, but now she avoids it fastidiously. After her home on Hot Springs Court burned, Riese learned that she was grossly underinsured, and an ensuing insurance battle has killed much of her enthusiasm for moving on.
Haunted by memories of a strange Halloween — "I guess it lost its zest," said Riese, who used to dress up and decorate — she figured the best way to handle Thanksgiving would be to get away. But the week before, she changed her mind; she wondered what kind of example that would set for her daughter.
"I want her to think, 'Hey my mom (and I), we overcame it, and she cooked Thanksgiving," Riese said.
So Riese replaced the cooking pans she lost in the fire and prepared to take her turn in a family tradition of cooking the turkey. But even with the sudden change of heart, and new holiday spirit, Riese feels that the arrival of the holidays makes the loss of home feel raw again.
For Riese, recovery from the fire has been a roller coaster ride of emotions, and things are feeling particularly bumpy with the start of the holidays.
"I wish things were different. But maybe there's a reason for it," she mused. "I'm going through the whole cycle of emotions. It could have been worse — it's just totally constant emotions. It's probably the holidays."
Jonni and Beau McCoy
For years, the McCoys, of Courtney Drive, were the Thanksgiving hosts for a group of neighbors. But after the Waldo Canyon fire decimated the family's home, they have found themselves in many new, strange roles — the least of which is having to be guests on Thanksgiving.
"This will be the first time that we'll be the guests of others," Jonni McCoy said. "We have a couple of invitations from friends. It's awkward to be a guest."
No longer able to host a neighborhood gathering, they will feast with the family that took them in during the fire. But the McCoys, Jonni and Beau, and their two children, will also spend the end of November deciding yet another holiday dilemma — what they will do for Christmas.
As Jonni McCoy sees it, the McCoys are back at square one — much like they were years ago as newlyweds, trying to make ends meet.
"When my husband and I were first married, we used to always go to the neighborhood tree lot, and ask for the Charlie Brown-type tree," she said in November. They had to pick the runt of the Christmas tree lot, settling for a $5 tree decorated with a few simple, homemade ornaments.
Now, with a foundation poured for their new home, they're thinking about restarting some Christmas traditions.
"We've talking about going back to that," she said.
In years past, the McCoys had wood carvings, stuffed animals and cinnamon apples on their little tree. This year they will mix old traditions with new ones in their rented home on the east side of town. They'll buy a large tree and decorate it with some ornaments they received at a First Presbyterian Church giveaway for fire victims and add some new homemade ones.
Hank and Kathy Scarangella
The thought of sitting at an unfamiliar dining table depresses Hank Scarangella.
But after the loss of his family's home at 5776 Huffman Court, he feels he'll be able to do little else in his rented townhome. So with his wife, Kathy, and their daughter Maddie Olson, they will go away. It's how the family, whose daughter has not been back to Huffman Court since June, will handle their loss this holiday season. Christmas will get the same treatment as Thanksgiving.
"We don't want to be here at Christmas," Hank said in November, as he watched the groundbreaking of his new home in Peregrine. The family has decided to not rebuild in Mountain Shadows.
Without a comfortable home, they're using Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays as vacations, and plan to head to the West Coast for the former, and visit relatives in New York for the latter.
Christmas haunts them. While shopping in November, Hank spotted new Christmas decorations displays — all of it reminded him of everything he used to have, or of things that they can't buy for a lack of places to put them.
What they do still have, however, is a ceramic Christmas village, given to Hank Scarangella piece by piece from an aunt. Only the village's little church was burned. But the Scarangellas won't put up the Christmas village this year — they are waiting until they have a home to celebrate the holiday.
Jim and Carol Lyn Lucas
In the months since she lost her home on Wilson Road, Carol Lyn Lucas has tried to spend one minute in bed every night thinking of the day's best moment. It's an act of Thanksgiving that transcends the holiday and is something that has helped Lucas, who is vocal about her devastation after the fire, feel happy.
"It doesn't take a disaster to really realize that we all need to be doing that," she said. "We need to be doing that, even with the good times."
On Tuesday, Lucas was rummaging through the family's storage unit, containing all that they salvaged from her home, when she found a Christmas music box inherited from her grandmother. She had saved the box, but was unsure if she saved the key. But, safe inside along with a twirling tree, was the key that makes the music play.
Immediately, she knew what she'd be grateful for that night.
"That was my moment, right there," she said.
Step by step, Lucas finds herself cherishing her old routines in her new home — she still gets up in the morning and fixes her latte, reads the paper, and works, all at a new desk. Doing simple things that remind her of the family's lost home instills their rented townhome with a hominess that Lucas says she has come to cherish.
Hosting a big group for Thanksgiving — something she might have shied away from months ago — now feels right, Lucas said.
"Actually, when we have people over it makes me feel like we are back to normal again," she said. "I am nesting in this townhome, believe it or not."
As she learns to cope, Lucas' misgivings about the holidays without her Wilson Road home have morphed into an excitement for new plans.
"About three days after the fire, I said to somebody, 'What are we going to do for Christmas?'"
Five months later and days before Thanksgiving, Lucas had wrapped gifts for her three sons' stockings, which they will open on a family motorhome trip to California in December. That's a big change for Lucas — she used to put together stockings, cook a big Christmas day breakfast, had a decorated tree surrounded by gifts. But this year, she thinks she'll just give gifts of money. Next year, once the family moves into a new home away from Mountain Shadows on Mesa Road, they'll celebrate Christmas in a big way.
"I'm hoping to be in the new home for next September. That's kind of what I'm thinking," Lucas said. "I've tried to tell myself that I'm in a really good place. I'm not going to wait to get my new home to be happy."
Dan and Mary Ann Collins
Santa Claus used to come to the Collins house at Ashton Park Place every Thanksgiving.
Days before Thanksgiving, Mary Ann Collins would transform her house into a holiday wonderland for her grandchildren. Then, on Thanksgiving , the kids would come over for the feast and the ultimate pleasure — turning on the 12-foot Christmas tree.
Mary Ann Collins' home on Ashton Park Place was on the side of the street that survived theWaldo Canyon fire. But, Collins' Christmas spirit did not.
This year, the family will still come over for a low-key Thanksgiving dinner, but there won't be much decorating, if any, she said.
"It's the first year that the grandkids won't flip the switch on the Christmas tree," Collins said. "I'm just going to tell them that Santa had so many other things to do."
Every day, Collins and her husband, Dan, look out on the barren lots that remain of her neighbors' homes; some will return, some won't. The Collinses are grappling with troubles of their own — their home was damaged, and the couple is wrestling with insurance settlements. And her conscience is wracked by guilt and confusion — why did her home survive when others didn't? The emotions have crippled her.
"I can't even decorate the house for Christmas this year," she said in mid-November. "We do a whole big thing, but I can't do it. I feel guilty that we still have everything."
They still have a beautiful 12-foot tree and a collection of ornaments. Collins still has a Disney-character Christmas village.
"I've always loved the holidays," she said. "I just don't have the energy. I can't get my life back together because I can't get closure in anything. I can't get anything done."
They have been tempted, like many others, to get away. But, she can't. "Our grandkids are here," she said.
She took the kids to the North Pole, off the Pikes Peak Highway, to visit with Santa Claus. Collins marveled at the Ferris wheel-view of the burn scar while the kids were anxious that Santa know that their grandparents' house, where they spend Christmas, survived the fire.
What will Christmas this year look like? Mary Ann Collins isn't sure.
Craig and Judy Anderson
In years past, 6050 Ashton Park Place was the gathering point for the Anderson clan on Thanksgiving. But this year, without a home, the Andersons are doing something they've never done before. They'll eat Thanksgiving dinner at the Denver hospital where Craig Anderson works.
Judy Anderson will also be deviating from the norm when she sends the family Christmas card on Thanksgiving, letting her network of friends and family around the country know that the Andersons will not return to 6050 Ashton Park Place and will instead build a new home in the Peregrine neighborhood.
This year, Anderson and her husband Craig posed for a holiday photo in front of all that remained of their home — the steps leading to their door — holding a Christmas wreath and an American flag.
The photo will accompany a bittersweet farewell poem to the home. Instead of recapping the family's year in a traditional Christmas missive, Anderson will mail an ode to her home that she wrote for the occasion:
"Thank you 6050
Ashton Park Place
We love you and miss you
But we must find a new space.
We didn't just lose our belongings
And our precious style of life
We lost our neighbors who were family
During good times and in strife.
Life moves on
And so must we too.
We ask for your prayers and love
That will get us through. Amen."

Yeah. I think there is no chance of anything in this vein getting accepted into core Postgres, if only because everybody will have a different idea of what it needs to do.

I was using HTTP::BrowserDetect for a long time. Not because it's a pice of art or accurate, but because of laziness perhaps. When I had some free time, I thought about re-inventing the wheel, like I did several times before. The main reason for re-inventing is the source code and interface of the module (try to read it, you'll understand) and the lack of new releases. Also, it's not accurate.
There are two other alternatives though: HTML::ParseBrowser and HTTP::DetectUserAgent. The former is really good parser-wise, while the latter is actually a sniffer and does not give you a verbose result.
So, I wrote Parse::HTTP::UserAgent. It tries to be verbose and parse as much as possible from the junk named "User Agent String". It tries to identify the major browsers first and then falls back to minor/old ones with an extended probe. The parsed structure has many fields like:
name Browser name. You may need to check original_name() if faker (like Maxthon).
version_raw Browser version
version version(version_raw)->numify: The float version of the parsed version.
original_name The original name (i.e.: Maxthon)
original_version The original version (i.e.: 2.0 (Maxthon))
os Operating system. Windows names returned instead of versions
lang The "user interface" language of the browser
toolkit [tk_name, tk_version, version(tk_version)->numify]. Gecko, Trident, etc.
dotnet If it has
.NET CLR version in the string, this'll have all versions
mozilla If a Mozilla browser, returns Moz version: [original, version(original)->numify]
strength Encryption strength (I guess this does not have much value today)
robot UA is a robot
extras Any non-parsable junk. Arrayref.
parser The name of the parser that returned the result set
generic Parsed by a generic parser? Bool.
string The original User Agent String
unknown User Agent String can not be parsed
device ***not implemented yet
wap ***not implemented yet
mobile ***not implemented yet
The module also has
->as_hash and
->dumper methods for debugging purposes.
The biggest difference is; it parses the fakers like Maxthon accurately. Also extracts
The version numbers are converted to decimals to ease comparison (I dislike that major/minor stuff the others implement). The conversion also removes any junk string (like "gold") from the version number. While using version is good, as it handles all the nasty stuff, I got some regression from 5.6.2 smokers after releasing the module. It looks like they (5.6.2) have the pure perl version::vpp (I couldn't compile the xs version under 5.6.1 either) which has some kind of bug. I've opened a ticket about the issue, but also added a workaround to fool version::vpp (postfix '.0' if version is three digits). I currently have no idea about 5.5.x but 5.6.x seem to be fine at least (also tested myself with ActivePerl 5.6.1 on a virtual Windows XP).
The module also has some example programs in it for benchmarking. I'll give some figures below. The test system is: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit & P8600 @ 2.40GHz & ActivePerl 18.104.22.1684
C:\>perl -Ilib eg\bench.pl -c 1000
*** The data integrity is not checked in this run.
*** This is a benchmark for parser speeds.
*** Testing 161 User Agent strings on each module with 1000 iterations each.

------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
| Parser | Name FAILS | Version FAILS | Language FAILS | OS FAILS |
| HTTP::DetectUserAgent | 27 - 16.77% | 37 - 23.27% | 67 - 100.00% | 35 - 24.31% |
| HTTP::BrowserDetect | 28 - 17.39% | 8 - 5.03% | 67 - 100.00% | 20 - 13.89% |
| HTML::ParseBrowser | 0 - 0.00% | 3 - 1.89% | 42 - 62.69% | 19 - 13.19% |
| Parse::HTTP::UserAgent | 0 - 0.00% | 3 - 1.89% | 3 - 4.48% | 4 - 2.78% |
Parse::HTTP::UserAgent is not perfect, but at least it seems to be close. HTML::ParseBrowser is more accurate on name/version matching. Speedy HTTP::DetectUserAgent seems to be the worst. However there is one caveat, the test data is from the Parse::HTTP::UserAgent test suite. So, Parse::HTTP::UserAgent is not actually that good yet since there are some patterns it can not match.
Note: The module is already on CPAN, but you can get the latest code and non-CPAN content from the code repository. The repo also has a
etc/Migration.pod for HTTP::BrowserDetect users.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.
I am sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your sister-in-law. It may be helpful for you to suggest play dates where each adult takes turns having the girls at each of your houses or taking them to do activities together. You might suggest that this might be nice to take turns this way and give you and your sister-in-law some time without the children so that each of you can have the opportunity to accomplish other things. In addition, you could consider having the girls take a class together where you could each take turns in transporting them.
I hope this answer is helpful. Please let me know if I can clarify further.
One of the best ways to deal with this may be in working to not display emotion about this. Remaining matter of fact and simply setting limits of how many play dates per week are allowed can allow you to focus on the rule rather than the feelings related to your sister-in-law. You could also encourage your daughter to get involved in activities that would also take her in different directions and expose to her new people. In addition, you might want to get your husband involved in arranging the play dates, or helping to set limits about them. Please let me know if I can help further.
My husband is on her sister's side mostly. She loves our daughter and his niece to get together all the time. This is only my problem.
That may allow you to enlist your husband in helping out with talking to his sister and doing some of the arranging of the play dates. In addition, it may be helpful to write your sister-in-law some angry letters (that you do not send her but instead shred). These letters can be quite helpful in venting your anger to make it more easy to deal with her. In the angry letters you can say anything you want. Just be sure to shred them as soon as you are done so that no one finds them.
I hope this is helpful.

October 25, 2007
Beaver Falls, PA- In front of the largest and most vocal crowd of the season at Metheny Fieldhouse, Geneva welcomed Westminster College, which is currently sitting a top the Presidents′ Athletic Conference. Westminster came in with a 12 match winning streak and left town with a baker′s dozen. Geneva dropped a 3-0 decision to Westminster, despite several dramatic moments throughout the match. The loss for Geneva dropped its overall record to 12-18, while Westminster improved to 19-11.
Westminster opened the match by scoring the first seven points. Geneva tried to rally in game one, but dropped the opening stanza 30-24. The second game turned out to be the most entertaining. Geneva had three chances to close out the game, but Westminster turned all those chances aside and eventually pulled out a 33-31 victory in game two. The Titans cruised to a 30-19 victory in the final game of the night to complete the sweep.
Adriane Blake, who is averaging over four kills per game, increased her numbers at the net with 16 kills on the night. Blake also led the defense with 17 digs. Sarah Bruck added eight kills, while Elizabeth Fisher chipped in with six. Brandi Snavely guided the offense with 37 assists in the three game loss.
Geneva will play three matches on the road on Saturday. It will start the day at Chatham College to play Chatham and Waynesburg. The day will end at Grove City with a 6 pm match against the Wolverines. Geneva′s next home game will be its last a week from Friday when it closes out the regular season against Saint Vincent College.

Also a 5 star and next at #25 from Gilman, Henry Poggi. The last MD player to make the list is GC's and Baltimore's own Kendall Fuller at #42. I like this list better than Rivals who I believe have Fuller a little high at #4 in the country. I think he's a beast of a football player but don't see Top 5 in the country. Rivals also has Dorian O'Daniel from GC as a Top 40 player. I don't think he is even the best LB in the state. And let's not even talk about Scout's rankings, they are horrible as usual. Waking in Espn's, they are usually the best of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sundance Film Festival's Top 10 Oddest Couples
To count down to the Sundance Film Festival, we're blogging about some of our favorite movie moments in the festival's history. Back in December we wrote about the Top 10 Lessons in Love from Sundance flicks, then last week we covered the Top 10 Lessons in Young Love. This week, it's odd couples! Romeo and Juliet, Louis and Clark, Donny and Marie these couples are not:
- Crazy Love: An ambulance-chasing attorney with a wife and disabled child hires a thug to throw lye in the face of his ex-mistress. She's disfigured and half blinded, he goes to jail. Fifteen years later they marry. True story. WTF?!
- The Last Word: A woman falls for a man she doesn't realize writes suicide notes for a living, including the note left by her dead brother.
- Humpday: Two straight male friends end up in a dare to make a gay porno…with them as the stars.
- Choke: A sex-addicted, Colonial-America reenactor/conman + a mental patient who wants to have his baby.
- Zoo: A man and his horse. But this ain't no "Black Stallion." It's the true-life story of a family man who dies of peritonitis due to perforation of the colon after engaging in receptive anal sex with a horse. Whoa, Nellie!
- Friends with Money: A penniless, klepto, single house cleaner with rich, unhappily married friends decides that she can't win at the game of love so she may as well go out with the nerdy, fat, house-bound loser-guy. And then he turns out to be richer — not to mention happier — than any of her friends. Bwah wah ha ha ha ha!
- Expired: Two parking meter attendants — one a serial masturbator addicted to webcam porn, the other a sweet shy girl who lives with her mother – meet cute on the job and proceed to have one of the most dysfunctional on-screen relationships we've ever seen. Fat insults? Check. Melancholy karaoke scene? Check. Aggressive, disturbing sex? Check. Dead woman in a bowl of mashed potatoes? Check.
- Transsiberian: He's a good sweet man with a gentle soul and an open heart; she's an ex-bad girl who simultaneously commits adultery-lite and murder. But then the Russian mob gets involved and all of a sudden they're perfect for each other.
- American Splendor: Ah, comic-book-nerd love. Nobody does "odd" better than Paul Giamatti and Hope Davis — it was only a matter of time before they became an odd couple on screen.
- Paris, Texas: A man walks out on his wife and son; four years later he finds her in a peep show parlor and pays by the minute to tell her, through the glass, the story of why he left. We still don't understand why they didn't cast Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant in this one…
Check back next week for another Sundance Film Festival Top 10 from the Naked Love Department — we're doing one each week leading up to the festival later this month!

Lechmere Family History Collection
The lineages of the people mentioned here are on our RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project Site
Early History
"The earliest recorded ancestor of the Lechmere's is 'Reginald de Lechmere de Hanlee,' father of Adam de Lechmere de Hanlee; they are mentioned in a deed without date of which there is a note in the college of arms: this must have been about the period of Edward I, after which time motives were generally dated. A manuscript of Dr. Thomas, quoted by Nash in his "History of Worchestershire" (vol. I, p. 560), observes of Lechmeres: 'This family came out of the Low Countries, served under William the conqueror, and obtained lands in Hanley, call from them Lechmere's place and Lechmere's field; Lech is a branch of the Rhine, which parts from it at Wyke, in the problems of Utrecht, and running westward folds into the Maes before you come to Rotterdam.' "Hanley and the House of Lechmere by Evelyn Philip Shirley
The above book is a must for the serious Lechmere researcher and is available in reprint (for a very modest price) from Higginson Book Company.
Reign of EDWARD ITaxed at Hanley:
Reign of EDWARD II
Reign of EDWARD III
Ancestors of Judge Nicolas Lechmere
Generation 1Robert Lechmere, son of William above.
Generation 2John Lechmere, of Lechmere's Place
Generation 3Richard Lechmere of Hanley, living during the reign of HENRY VI married Joan Whitmore (daughter of John Whitmore)
Generation 4Thomas Lechmere, of Hanley married Elianor Frere (b. 1474). Eleanor was the daughter of Humphrey Frere, of Blankets, Worcs and Anne Walsh (daughter of Richard Walsh of Sheldisley Walsh, Worcs).
Generation 5Richard Lechmere (1520-1568) married (c 1542) Margery Rocke (1525-1573).
Generation 6Edmund Lechmere (1550-1616) married (1575) Anne Dingley (1557-1620). Anne is a direct descendant of John of Gaunt, 4th son of EDWARD III and father of HENRY IV.
Generation 7Edmund Lechmere (1577-1650) married (1610) Margaret Overbury (1592-1634), daughter of Nicholas Overbury of Burton-on-the-Hill, Glos.

Our blog daddy, Dorian Benkoil, is leaving mediabistro.com at the end of March. He claims that he's pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities through his company, Teeming Media, but FBLA thinks he's secretly been taking voice lessons so he can break through as the next South Asian pop idol.
Nom de rap: Rama-lama-ding-dong-daddy.
FBLA wishes Benkoil all good fortune in his new endeavor.

Scott Lawski writes: "I was walking home late one night, and I found myself in a less than desirable part of town. It was dark and deserted on the street when I heard a noise behind me. I turned, and there they were. Three of them. Avocado's with bad intenti…ons.
I'll not go in to the details overmuch, but all of my training in Silat and everything I learned as a Marine came in to play.
It was quick and brutal combat, but in the end, experience and determination overcame semi-firm fruit. I limped away and made my way to friendlier environments, leaving the bruised and battered berries (which they technically are) leaking their guacamole-like innards into the grime of the mean-streets that spawned them. I'll never forget that night or my brush with death by fruit-it has burned itself in to my memory like PTSD, and I still wake up screaming from the memories.
Also, as the word originates from 'ahuacatl'-the Nahuatl word for testicle, I cannot help but be a bit turned off.
Or, maybe, I just don't care for the taste. I'll let you decide which is true.

SRAM X01 BB30 CranksetDesigned for a wide range of riding styles, the SRAM X01 BB30 Crankset features trickled-down technology from XX1, plus the same sleek appearance, and offers it to enduro, all-mountain, XC and trail riders at more affordable price. X-Sync technology precisely CNC machines each chainring's tooth thickness to support the chain's inner and outer links perfectly, resulting in flawless shifting and maximum chain control. Five available chainrings (30T-32T-34T-36T-38T) let you tune your gear range, so you can match your terrain, wheel size and riding style (chainrings not included). Each chainring fits a single, universal spider, so you can change rings without removing the crank arms. Carbon crank arms are light, rigid, strong and optimize power transfer in demanding, off-road conditions.
- X-Sync Technology is a CNC-machined, "wide tooth, narrow tooth" pattern that is repeated around the entire X01 chainring, perfectly mirroring the 1x11 X01-specific chain's inner and outer links for maximum control
- Carbon crank arms with forged aluminum spider
- New spider design allows for easier ring changes
- Forged aluminum chainrings are lightweight and tough
- Option to add 5 available chainrings, not included: 30T-32T-34T-36T-38T
- 5mm chainring thickness provides strength and stability when demands are high
- 94mm BCD fits most bash guards
- 168mm Q-factor
- BB30 bottom bracket not included
- Chainrings not included
