Should Linux users worry about NSA or anyone that sneaks into their personal domain?
Just curious about how my fellow Linux users feel about this issue with the USA NSA snooping about and walking on our privacy illegally? Probable cause? Who is identifying or setting the line for effect when deciding who or what is to be done by whom? Reminds me of the fox guarding the hen house. :rolleyes:
What about: NSA Has Legitimate Code Running in Linux Kernel and Android;
Recent articles concerning Google, NSA & snooping;
Paranoia is good when it comes to ones personal information all the time, even when using your electronics/computers. Be aware!
As much as I dislike government intrusion -- and, believe me, I truly do -- at the same time I understand why -- don't like it, but I do understand it.
Back in the old days -- from the 1940's though the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Cold War -- everybody understood the rules of engagement. Countries all had intelligence agencies (everybody: the UK, France, US, Soviet Union, Japan, all the Warsaw Pact countries, all the NATO countries, you name 'em). You had spies, the other guys had spies, everybody had (and still has) spies. You didn't kill each other, you didn't steal airplanes and fly them into buildings with the sole intent of murdering as many people as possible, you didn't set off bombs in crowded markets, you just didn't do that kind kind of crap. You did what you did to keep the other guy at bay so that nobody would start a nuclear war and wipe out the entire planet. It was madness, but it worked -- rational people on all sides carefully avoiding the brink.
I happened to be in West Germany the week The Wall opened on 9 November 1989 and in Berlin at the weekend, watching and listening to East Berliners literally gawking at the wonders of West Berlin and the fact that they could freely walk across the border (and walk back home, too). I never thought that I'd live to see the actual end of World War II, but I did; I never thought I'd live to see the end of the Soviet Union and the break-up of the entire bloc, all those countries that were dominated by the Soviets free to do as they please, but I did. A great sigh of relief heard 'round the world.
Now, all of us, everybody, everywhere are faced with an irrational enemy: an enemy that hates on the basis of religion and an abiding hatred of freedom and is willing to murder randomly. From the first bombing of the World Trade Center though the bombing of the Boston Marathon done only for the sake of murder and mayhem, there is nothing whatsoever rational about the actions of the people carrying out attacks -- in the US, Europe, Asia, everywhere (recall the bombings of trains in Spain, the Underground in London, hotels, restaurants, weddings, markets, embassies -- almost uncountable).
Intelligence agencies around the world are charged with discovering and stopping attacks. That's their job: keep Us safe from Them. It's been the job for thousands of years; from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, all the way to now, that's the job. It's what CIA, NSA, MI-5 and MI-6, DCRI and DGSE, BND, Mossad, FSB, and on and on and on do (cripes, Christmas Island has an intelligence agency (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...gence_agencies), all charged withe the same job: protect Us from Them.
Faced with an irrational enemy, what do you do? Really, just what do you do? You cannot ignore it and hope it goes away. You have to reluctantly violate some of your basic principles. You have to gather and analyze information looking for the needles in the stack of needles in the stacks of hay to try to find the one that presents the danger. You really have to try to identify the danger before it happens rather than after the bombs go off. It is a conundrum, violating the privacy of the innocent to pinpoint the about-to-be guilty. I hate that all of us are forced by the actions of the dangerous few to give up what we value so highly.
We have, unknowingly, given up a great deal of privacy by using Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Bing, Linkedin, whatever social media we crave and use -- CIA looks like rank amateurs compared to what search engines and social media know about you, your preferences, stuff you buy -- we've given up that information so we can be marketed at, and, brothers and sisters, it's used and you gave it away.
It's a little galling but I can't make a case against NSA (and all the others) looking at telephone records for calls to and from "troublesome" countries -- not conversations (since the Stasi went out of business in East Germany, conversations are not recoded by your telephone service provider), just point-to-point, number to number. If that points at known numbers used by terrorists to someone in this (or your) country, well, maybe somebody should look into that (and, perhaps, prevent rather than investigate another Boston Marathon bombing after the fact?). Do I like it, hell no. Do I think that it seems to be necessary, well, reluctantly, yes, I do (and damn me for that). If Them manages to get hold of a nuke, you can be pretty much guaranteed that they'll use it; I'd rather have that prevented before New York, London, Paris, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, Tokyo or wherever disappears in a mushroom cloud. It's really that bad.
Member Response
I do understand your points. But as Americans we do have the constitution that should be used as a governing to prevent the abuse by agencies.
NSA, CIA or any government agency should abide by the constitution and not circumvent when it's convenient. As it should be for private citizens too respect and abide by the same constitution. Not to bend or interpret for ones own needs. Obama's recent statements that NSA, FBI or whatever agency does not do anything illegally. Bull! They got caught and now spinning to get out of the microscopic viewing of their inner works. Congressional committees should get tough and do their jobs as elected moral leaders. Either do the job or get out!
We can have security and the constitution!
As to the public media snowball for the need of a Facebook, twitter or whatever, some people have chosen to use such therefore should expect to be burnt at some point in time. Why does every Facebook or twitter user have need(s) to expose such information then cry foul when someone steals their identity or stalks them? "Stupid is as stupid does" fits the Facebook or twitter user whenever posting information to open doors else where. Stupid!
As I tell members of my family who text or communicate via the social media to me: Do not expect me to respond to such! Either call me or speak to me one on one to my face. Communicate!
When out to eat I notice several tables around me of family members that are actively typing on their smartphones and do not even inter-relate with each other one on one. Then wonder why Johny or Susie have issues or just cannot carry on a intelligent conversation. All this public posting, tech speak, AOL or SMS is damaging our society.
You cannot claim to understand something you cannot even see, like secret agencies.
As for SELinux, I have never trusted it, and I don't like the concept of it. It is just a way to lock yourself out of your own system.
No thanks, I'll keep all my power and do my best with it.
Follow good security practices and I think even the NSA would have a hard time getting into your system. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to maintain privacy from them, they see everything.
Oh, yeah, I agree in so many, many ways.
I think it's almost criminal that reading and discussing The Federalist is not mandatory in public eduction so that people would have an understanding of why the constitution is what it is -- primarily what government cannot do rather than what it can. And, you know, The Federalist is, at bottom, propaganda (now a dirty word, but not then). Hamilton, Madison and Jay explaining the what's, why's and wherefore's that so many are so so sadly ignorant of.
There has to be a balance -- and that is the job of congress. It's also our job; it is mandatory in a democracy that the people raise hell with government when they see it go awry. Most do not, aren't even aware, just go along and get along mumbling to the guy on the next bar stool at best, oblivious to what has been lost.
I'm afraid that we're approaching ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) -- a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers (a T-shirt philosophy I've seen around).
You're completely right: congress is supposed to watch but they're too busy with politics to actually do anything worth much.
I have a cell phone, it's in a compartment in the instrument panel of my truck, turned off until I need it. I have a land line and an answering machine -- leave me a message or I'll never, ever call you back (and won't know or much care that you called in the first place). Send me an e-mail, I'll answer (or ignore you if you're and idiot). Tweet? What's that -- I read books and newspapers, call me old-fashioned. You've probably noticed, as have I, the Twitter shorthand popping up in LQ? Arrgghh! Always some damn fool that just has to "text" in the middle of a movie or a one-on-one conversation.
There has to be a balance, I'm just not sure where it is.
Indeed, the core problem is that "the ends do not justify the means," even if it actually turns out that "the means" are technically feasible. (Which I doubt, but "who cares, there's gobs of money in it, regardless.")
"Terrorists" were quickly coined in to the perfect "faceless, irrational enemy." The "Others." Surely lurking behind every lamp-post, but texting their friends and sending them un-encrypted emails to Plan Bad Things. Yessir, we've got to capture every scrap of information, vacuum every stalk of hay to find those needles in those haystacks. No amount of money that we spend on such a noble effort would be a waste, so we are told. Since we think that we can do it, we obviously must, and if you dare to ask questions about that ... well, you must be one of Them, right?
The bottom-line is that it pays to be a skeptic. To question, and I do not mean in some secret kangaroo-court, the things that (in the end...) salesmen are telling us all that we "must" spend Trillions of dollars on. There are very good reasons not to throw-away one's nation's founding principles in the name of "safety." Yes, you must "provide for the common defense," but the military industrialists are really just in this thing for the dough.
The founders of this nation weren't ignorant. They were prescient. Above all, they were students of History. If the USA continues to sally down this primrose pathway, History won't grant it a special exemption.
I'd think everyone has more to worry about. The decline of honey bees is more important to the world than this story.
I would have to doubt that there is any issue with SElinux. The code is open to viewing and inspection. Look at it and see if you can find any issues.
I do believe that the US has a right to look into messages and phone calls that originate from outside the US.
In the end of the day, the US is a place where the citizens don't even have to show an ID to vote. They don't have to be a legal immigrant to get free health care and food. They are protected from prosecution in many cities (so they can be free to be maids and gardeners and cooks to rich). The US is the most free country in the world. Stupid F$%#$% like the Boston brothers make it unsafe for honest hard working Americans. We need to protect them.
The only problem I have is with the NSA guy. Any guy with a stripper girlfriend is suspect to me. He may be doing this for money or drugs.
There are a number of intrusive laws already on the books. Stuff like purchases of more than 2 firearms in a day or transactions that involve more than $10,000 cash. In both cases I was "reported" and I don't care. I like to have a lot of cash on hand and when I buy firearms I buy a bunch at a time. Does it make me a criminal? Let them monitor me. I ain't skerd!
I personally don't like this NSA thing. Yes, it's good for catching the bad guys out there but it can accidentally red-flagged innocent people just because they used those same keywords they are filtering for in communication. Sometimes people use those keywords in a totally different meaning of content.
I disagree with their opinion.
Freedom may mean one thing to them and another to me.
@ jefro
410. That page doesn't exist.
from the link above
Jefro, those are some good points that you've made.
We are told what speech we can use as free speech and what speech is not allowed. Political and religious speech are the two types of speech specifically mentioned by name in the first amendment to the US Constitution that the government can't stop. Try to talk about Jesus in your graduation speech. Try to wear a "I like Jesus" T shirt in the public schools. Where is their free speech? And where did government get the authority to quench it?
The second amendment says government can't abridge your right to own and carry arms. Then where did they get the authority to decide if you can carry arms?
The fourth amendment says government can't search you or your property or seize your property without a writ from a court. Your property also can not be used by government without due compensation. Where did they get the authority to stop someone for drug possession and then confiscate the persons car, take the car and sell it at action, and keep the money? Where did they get the authority to read your email without a writ from a court?
The fifth amendment says that government can't hold you without due process. Where did they get the authority to hold terror suspects indefinitely without a charge or without facing their accusers in a court of law?
I could go on...My point is that government has been acting illegally for decades now. And we the people have let it happen. It's kinda like wanting to shut the gate after the cows are out.
From the OP
There have been quite a few post's on LQ that are political in nature of late. I've made a few of them. Members form outside the US may be puzzled as to why.
What you are seeing in these posts is a citizenry that is outraged by a government that is refusing to obey the laws of the land. An elite ruling class that imagines them self to be above the rule of law while requiring it's citizens to do obeisance to them. A denunciation of a court system that has overstepped it's constitutional parameters of authority and actually makes law from the bench. A court system that has zero law making authority. US law making is the sole authority of the US congress with the US presidents participation. A disgust of a derelict US congress that refuses to use their impeachment powers to remove those judges who refuse to obey the law. And an outrage against a police state that now imagines that they may search, seize, spy, assault, and kill at will. All without receiving a warrant from a court. I'm not sure just how much the rest of the world knows about the tinderbox that the US is. I don't know how much of this is making the news reports in Europe and Asia. The US in 2013 is in a conferrable place to where the US was in the 1850's. The 1850's in the US were pre civil war years. Civil wars are the bloodiest, most barbarous conflicts that men have. Therefore it is of great import for us to reign in big, illegal, elitist government, and a return to We The People.

Rock Band to get more Ministry
Harmonix today announced that three more tracks from Ministry will be available next week in the Rock Band Music Store.
Video game news headlines delivered to your inbox daily. Click here to subscribe.
|From Harmonix:
Founded in 1981 by Al Jourgensen, it took several band member changes and a total sound overhaul before Ministry finally broke into the mainstream with their 1991 hit "Jesus Built My Hotrod," which will be coming to Rock Band next week, and the ensuing LP Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs. Ministry disbanded in 2008, but over the course of the band's 27 years of performing, they paved the way for American industrial metal. Their songs have been featured in movies such as The Matrix, for which they received a Grammy Award nomination, and the 2009 Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker.
Next week, three tracks from Ministry will be available for Rock Band play. "Stigmata" from the album The Land of Rape and Honey (1987-88), "Thieves" from A Mind is A Terrible Thing to Taste (1989-90), and "Jesus Built My Hotrod" from Psalm 69 will be available for purchase in the Rock Band Music Store.

Four statistics blew me away tonight:
- Obama beat Hillary among women voters 35 to 30 percent.
- Amid record Democratic turnout, as many people under 30 showed up to caucus as those over 65.
- Sixty percent of the GOP electorate in Iowa were born-again Christians.
- Rudy Giuliani finished with a mere 4,013 votes, in sixth place, with less than half of the support of Ron Paul.
Taking them in order:
Hillary lost tonight to Barack Obama by 8 points -- a margin just as wide as Mitt Romney catastrophic shortfall against Mike Huckabee.
And Obama beat her eight ways to Sunday. He edged her out among Democrats 32/31, and cleaned her clock among independents (44/17) and wayward Republicans (41/10). He beat her among people making less than $15,000 (37/30) and more than $100,000 (41/19). He beat her among health-care voters (34/30) and suburban voters (30/25).
Most astounding however, he beat her among her core supporters, women, by five points. What more can I say than -- in a night of mind boggling statistics -- that that's the stat of the night.
A black man did this. In a state that's 96 percent white. This is truly a historic night in America.
The turnout on the Democratic side was unreal. It soared from 124,000 in 2004 to 230,000 in 2008. And that's all about the man who won.
Obama's been drawing record crowds from San Francisco to Des Moines -- but there was always the question of whether he could produce a similar effect among real live voters.
He did so in a way that no one predicted. 57 percent of the caucus goers tonight had never caucused before. Most impressive: As many people under thirty showed up as senior citizens.
That's fucking nuts is what that is. That's the Rock the Vote political wet dream that never ever comes true... actually coming true. What this portends for Obama as a national candidate is something truly special. He's not only proven that he can draw the support of independents and open-minded Republicans. He's the one guy who can make the Democratic pie higher, bringing new, unlikely voters into the fold. If he could replicate this kind of support among young people in a general election, it's game over.
The Religious Right has found their candidate. The evangelical vote in the Republican caucus is usually 40 percent. Tonight it was 60 percent.
I give Mike Huckabee a lot of credit. He's run the kind of grassroots campaign that's not supposed to be possible in this era. Outspent 15:1, his earthy, inclusive plain-spoken authenticity won hearts and minds — and his faith-based network of supporters turned out in droves, beating back the best organization money can buy.
With Romney effectively out of the way, I'm not sure anybody else can stop this guy. Certainly not in South Carolina, where, if the churched vote behaves the way they did tonight, he'll clobber a John McCain, no matter what happens in New Hampshire.
Rudy Giluliani is done. His slot -- the maverick warmonger -- is going to be filled by John McCain by the time Florida comes around. He's executing the most amazingly misguided electoral strategy I can remember. Bravo and good riddance.
Closing thoughts
Obama scored two huge victories tonight. He not only popped Clinton's aura of inevitability, he also beat Edwards roundly enough to establish himself as the only true anti-Clinton. So not only is Clinton wounded heading into New Hampshire, but the ABC (anyone but Clinton) vote has found its standard bearer -- and his name isn't John Edwards.
Which is all to say that even if Clinton makes a miraculous recovery in the next five days, I think enough of Edwards' vote is going to migrate to Obama that it's not going to make a difference. New Hampshire is his to lose.
And fond goodbyes...
Part of me, here, is going to miss the grand patrician stylings of Chris Dodd, here.
And Joe Biden, I think I'll miss you most of all.

Columbus — Death Row inmates complained of bird droppings, a lack of hot water, inadequate health care and an insufficient selection of TV stations in a survey conducted recently by state prison inspectors.
More than 90 of the 131 inmates housed at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution answered a questionnaire as part of a larger inspection of the prison, located about an hour south of Columbus. The survey results were included in a recent Correctional Institution Inspection Committee report.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction relocated Ohio's Death Row to Chillicothe in 2011, though some inmates with capital sentences remain at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown.
During an unannounced visit in March, state inspectors found that showers used by Death Row inmates in Chillicothe "were in better condition than many out on the compound." Death Row cells were rated as "only acceptable due to clutter," since affected inmates generally are allowed more belongings.
The inspection report also noted, "… inmates relayed few concerns on site regarding the unit, other than not wanting to be shackled when they use the shower or go to recreation and wanting screens on the windows to prevent birds from coming in...."
JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, said prison officials had ordered mesh screens for windows at Death Row before the inspection earlier this year, with plans to have the material installed by July.
"Due to the structure of the buildings, the windows could be opened and there was no material or screen to prevent birds from coming into the unit," she said in an e-mail response to questions. "The mesh screening has been delivered to the institution. The goal is to have each window installed with the mesh screen, allowing the fresh airflow to continue but prevent access from birds entering through the windows."
A majority of Death Row inmates who completed a related survey indicated they received enough clean clothes and sheets each week and were able to shower regularly.
But 78 said they were either "unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied" with the quality of food at the prison, with more than half citing portion sizes and taste.
More than half of Death Row inmates surveyed also complained of a lack of health service request forms and access to recreation and said prison officials were not dealing with their grievances fairly.
Asked to name one positive aspect of the prison, one inmate wrote, "None period! This is the worst prison that we've been in, no hot water in the cells, you can't drink the sink water, the plumbing system is terrible, birds living in here with us and leaving bird droppings."
And another, ""I'm waiting to (die), so there is no positive."

When I'm speaking to my friends who are also women in the sport industry, we often find ourselves reflecting that we work in a sector that's predominantly male. It's not a new realisation. And it's not surprising. Sometimes it's a rant, sometimes it's a complaint, and other times it's just an observation of a meeting we had where we were the only woman in the room, or at an event where very few women were present.
There's one aspect of the sport Stateside that doesn't subscribe to the same law of hyperbolic excess - the fans. If the rule that governs the rest of American life is observed, then those followers of MLB, NFL and the rest should find themselves reduced to orgasmic ecstasy by success and frothing rage by defeat.
David Beckham has announced that the upcoming MLS final on December 1 will be his last game for LA Galaxy, as he seeks one last challenge. With a career that has seen him enjoy spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Milan and - er - Preston North End, where will be next for the former England captain?

I just picked up a couple of water filtration systems and it got me to thinking about what I've been doing about water purification and storage.
As of today:
WaterBob for storage WaterBOB®: emergency drinking water storage
Katadyn Basecamp Gravity Filter & storage system Katadyn Base Camp, Camping Accessories, Katadyn at Sportsman's Guide
2 gravity fed 5 gallon filtration systems Monolithic Marketplace — Just Water, Ceramic Drip-Filter
3 five gallon water containers
Several bottles of Potable Aqua water purification tablets
2 USGI canteens w/canteen cups
Some milk jugs :o
Some non scented liquid bleach
It's not enough, I need to pick up some more water purification tablets and buy some more bleach. (we use the bleach in the laundry to keep it rotated) I also want to pick up another two or three 5 gal water containers as well as a couple of 30+ gallon plastic garbage cans & lids...
We also need a few of those small drinking jug filter things like this: Katadyn My Bottle Micro Filter, Camping Accessories, Katadyn at Sportsman's Guide
Okay, that's what I've done so far and plan on doing. We currently live in a city and are on public utilities. Obviously if we ever get to the country, things will change since we'll likely be dealing with a well. Maybe we'll be lucky and have a year round stream as well, so things will change and we'll adjust accordingly.
What have you done and what remains to do in your water storage/purification preps? I'd love to listen and learn.
Thanks, CA357
I'm pretty lucky where I live. There are several springs all within a very short distance. So for the most part it's gettng containers for storage if I needed to pile it up here in the house. I would like to get a filtration system though because it could make things much easier on me. The springs all feed a creek that runs behind the house. A generator and my trusty pump and I can run it into the house. But I'd want to filter it after it's been moving around in the creek. You get ti right where it comes out of the spring it will test cleaner than water (spring or distilled) you buy at the store. Between the water, the ton of wild game, and the ponds we've stocked over the last several years.There's not much reason to leave the "holler" ;)
You're WAY ahead of me. Right now I have 23 bottles of Ozarka in the fridge in the garage!
1 Attachment(s)
I've been using one of these for awhile now for backpacking. It works good for me.
MSR MiniWorks EX Water Filter at REI.com
A Nagaline bottle threads to the bottom of unit making the filteration operation more hands free.
Attachment 20276
I also use one of these to collect the water before filtering. Using this and letting set for awhile lets a good deal of sediment to settle out before filtering. Also, I can sit in a comfortable place to do my water filtering.
That's on my list since someone mentioned it the other day in one of the threads. Was that you? It's one heck of a great idea.
MRM14, thanks for the collapsible bucket idea. I was wondering about those.
BTW, we also have around 100 liter bottles of water stacked in the garage. I need to pick up some more.
One of the greatest dangers here is the possibility of a flood. We're protected by a rather old levee system. So, we could be surrounded by water and have nothing to drink. Katrina taught me some lessons, that's why I'm so focused on water.
I made beer with all my water. :rolleyes:
Don't forget the UV light for killing the critters without the ability to tan. I wonder if the traditional hippy-type black lights would do that job?
I guess that would be a Steri-Pen. Water Purifier Portable Water Purification System - SteriPEN
Bump for the new folks.
Since my last post, I've added some new Potable Aqua tablets since shelf life is limited and two Aquamira pen type filters.

Happy Tuesday!
I hope you all had a good day. Instead of taking this week as vacation, I am working from my old office until Friday when we head up to Saratoga Springs for Melissa and Frank's wedding weekend.
Before heading to the office I headed out to the streets for my first run since the marathon. I headed up Third Avenue and ran 3 miles at a relaxed pace while zoning out. I definitely don't miss the smell of city garbage piled up on the sidewalks or crowded sidewalks as even at 6am I was dodging in and out of people and trash piles. My legs were a little tight, especially my right hamstring, but otherwise the run felt easy.
It felt so surreal taking the 6 train and my old commute to work this morning. I'm so thankful for this experience to live abroad but I do miss New York City.
I left the office for a quick lunch around 1pm, eager to try Organic Avenue's new fall menu items. I follow them on social media and immediately added their roasted squash and beet salad to my list of things to try this week. It exceeded my expectations! Per the suggestion of the staff, I drizzled the dressing on my salad as soon as I returned to the office but let it marinate for 10-15 minutes before eating. While the salad is definitely an expensive lunch option, it was a nutritious and filling treat.
Golden beets, roasted shallots, and aromatic fennel come together to create a perfect flavor combination. Hearty kabocha squash, thought to be a good source of beta-carotene, rounds out this salad that captures the essence of the cooler months.

After work I met Jen for another run. Our schedules are a bit different this week and the only time we could manage to meet up was this evening. Since she is a busy mom who fits running and training in between her busy family and work life, I thought that running her plan's easy 4 miles with her was a perfect way to catch up. It also gave us a chance to enjoy some evening views along the Hudson River and perfect 55 degree weather.
We talked non-stop which made the miles fly! We had so much to catch up on including her marathon training, Staten Island Half Marathon and upcoming travel. I can't believe that it's almost been a year since we met! While a great deal has changed over the past year, she is still just as strong and inspiring as ever before. Whether she realized it or not, she gave me some great words of advice today during our run and I'm so thankful for this one on one time we had together.
After the run I spent the next 90 minutes on the massage table at 21st Street Equinox. I hadn't booked any type of post marathon massage and after today's 7 miles I knew that my legs would appreciate it and it would help with recovery. Luckily Carlos Blain had a last minute opening. This man worked magic on my legs and back by using a combination of massage therapy, physical therapy stretches and professional strength icy hot. He is a certified physical therapist by training but as his certification from Argentina didn't transfer when he moved, he is practicing massage therapy in NYC.
Last but not least, I finally tried Juice Press! After hearing about their delicious juices and smoothies from Gia and Theodora this was another item on my list this week. A Turmeric Sports Tonic and The Love of Kale Salad was the perfect dinner tonight while catching up on this week's Homeland. The turmeric has healing effects while also being a natural immune booster, perfect for my body post marathon. The manager suggested that this would help with my muscle repair and hydration after the deep tissue massage as well. The salad consisted of kale, arugula, tomatoes, raisins, carrots, and quinoa along with a garlic and tahini dressing which also included a hint of mint. Delicious! Why did this open just 3 blocks from our old apartment AFTER we moved?
Overall, today was a pretty perfect day. I hope I continue to have opportunities that bring me back to New York City a few times a year as it's nice to reconnect with good friends and colleagues while also trying some new restaurants and workouts.
Are you a kale fan? If so, how do you prepare it at home? I need some recipe suggestions so I can keep the love alive in Geneva!

This is a guest post from David Steel, one of the nation's leading experts on Sales Motivation.
Many people turn to networking in times of need.
When looking for a job, a reference for a job, a person who may be able to help them with a particular problem they are facing, for example. But too often they wait until the need is there, instead of working on building their network consistently all along. It is important to invest time and effort into building and nurturing your network and relationships long before you find yourself desperately looking around for the answers and help that you need. By spending time cultivating relationships simply for the sake of having and enjoying them rather than for what they can do for you in the short term, you will more than likely find that you have a diverse, rich network. These people also have their own network of people. Soon you could find that someone who knows someone else may be just the very person who can land you that job interview, point you to someone who can fix your air conditioner for next to nothing, or help you get started in social networking with your new business and much more.
If you have not spent time developing relationships in your network it may be quite uncomfortable when you try asking someone you're not closely connected with whether they can either be a reference for your job application or know of any job openings. In fact, in some cases it may go beyond being uncomfortable to the point of being rude, and that relationship may completely dissolve (if it hadn't already). It would be like someone calling you out of the blue trying to "pitch you" on their latest home-based business opportunity. You know they really don't care about checking in on you, finding out how you are doing, or anything other than trying to "sign you up."
I have seen this happen in social networking sites a lot. It happens when someone posts about their business on your personal Facebook wall, which is a huge turn-off by the way! Or when they only comment on your post when it has something to do with their business. Or when they try to act like they are interested in you and you can tell at any moment they are going to type out a link to check out and ask "just let me know what you liked about this." Has it happened to you? Annoying isn't it?! Now, I am pausing to think how often I may have done that without intentionally trying to "pitch" someone, and how that must have felt.
If you have been spending time working on building and cultivating your network, not simply for what you can get out of it, but for what you can give as well, then when the time comes and you either need someone for something or vice versa, you will find that you will have quite a group of people who may be more than willing to help you out or point you in the right direction. It just goes back to the very, very basic principle of treating others how you would like to be treated.

If Apple does have an event this month to announce new iPads and new Mac laptops, it's hard to imagine what they'll offer regarding the iPad mini. Reuters is reporting today that the high-resolution retina display for the iPad mini simply isn't yet ready for production, according to sources in Apple's supply chain.
Apple's suppliers are only just now starting to manufacture the display, and if Apple were to make a retina iPad mini available this year, it wouldn't be until late in the year, and then in very limited quantities. The source for the Reuters story said that Apple would indeed be introducing a new iPad mini this month, but without a retina display it's hard to imagine it will generate much interest. Likely the processor will be upgraded to an A6 but it seems unlikely that the mini will get Touch ID or any of the other major innovations of the iPhone 5s.

Rumors of an iWatch continue to appear on occasion. As always, even if Apple is working on a product and has developed prototypes, it doesn't necessarily mean the device will make it to market. The latest rumor, on the website The Chosun Ilbo, again suggests that Apple's iWatch will have a flexible OLED display. I have to admit that their mockup image, which accompanies this post, is pretty cool. You can imagine Apple doing something like this—and that it would be hugely popular. The website's industry source said that Apple is developing three different sizes: 1.3-inch, 1.4-inch, and 1.5-inch, with a prototype of the latter already in hand.
A CNET article posted today says the market is ready for an iWatch from Apple. Samsung and others have come out with smartwatches, but so far none has gotten a very good reception. This could be yet another instance in which other companies pave the way, and then Apple enters the space with a slam dunk—just as it did with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. It's fun to think about.

The first Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show, being held on Wednesday, February 5 at York Auction Centre, Murton, will see the county's debut of the new McCormick X7 Pro Drive tractor on the stand of local McCormick dealer Yorkshire Handlers.It was the launch of the new tractor that inspired the event, as organiser Richard Tasker explains: "The idea came about when Phil Robinson of Yorkshire Handlers came to ask whether he could hire our premises to put on an open day for the launch of the new McCormick tractor. The whole thing snowballed in a matter of weeks and every farm machinery dealership in the area and all the manufacturers they represent will be at the show."Phil Robinson and his wife Rhonda took on the McCormick sales, service and parts franchise in 2013, covering an area that extends from Scarborough to the Humber and westwards beyond York. Their territory is bounded by existing dealers Agriplus at Stokesley to the north, Moore Farm Services at Harworth to the south, and on the western flank by N&S Moorhouse, Barugh near Barnsley.

Stephen Moorhouse is also exhibiting at the 'YAMS' event, showing the new McCormick X50 tractor, which has replaced the T-Max. It features some cab upgrades and a new Perkins 850 series four-cylinder engine in 85-113hp tune with increased power, torque and fuel economy.An example of the McCormick X10 series compact will also be shown; with its choice of mechanical and hydrostatic transmissions, the X10 makes an ideal scraper tractor. The McCormick X7 Pro Drive will be the centrepiece of the Yorkshire Handlers dealership stand. It was a star turn at the recent LAMMA event, with a constant stream of people wanting to learn more about its features and try its new cab for size.McCormick distributor AgriArgo UK announced pricing at the show and a full 24-month, 2400-hour warranty that covers the entire tractor throughout that period. "That shows Argo Tractors' confidence and commitment to its new machine – and the peace of mind that owners will enjoy," says Ray Spinks of AgriArgo UK.The new tractor range comprises a trio of four-cylinder models from 131hp at rated speed and a maximum output of 143hp, and the same number of six-cylinder versions peaking at 175hp rated, 188hp max and 212hp with pto boost.Power and torque are delivered through the 24x24 speed Pro Drive transmission with four-step powershift, with the standard 40kph version running at significantly reduced engine speed to help fuel economy. Creep speeds can be added and there is a 50kph option, together with cab suspension and the popular McCormick front axle with independent wishbone suspension.The X7 Pro Drive clearly represents an important shift in design, specification and technology for the McCormick marque, which is particularly evident in the new Premiere cab where modern electronic controls will meet the expectations of drivers wanting fingertip operation of important functions.The four-post structure is 180mm wider between the front pillars and the doors shut with a gentle push thanks to high-spec latches; adjustable hinges ensure a snug fit in the doorways and a one-piece windscreen contributes to the first-class all-round visibility.Climate control air conditioning, all-round airflow ventilation and an audio system with MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity as standard will help keep operators comfortable and content."The fit, finish and interior materials used are to automotive standards, with a seat-mounted console bringing all routinely used controls close to the driver," points out Ray Spinks of AgriArgo UK. "The designers really have pulled out all the stops to make this a comfortable and practical place to work."

Hi Friends.....
I am using windows 7 Ultimate..i installed xampp 1.6.1...but when start the Apache server in control panel its not at all working...it shows error like this....
Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" fileand the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
i dunno what to do...can anyone help me to recover this problem...
Thanks in advance..
The best thing will be to uninstall the xampp and install it again. but when you are installing it watch out for window security alert of unknown script, allow the script to continue.
Did you do what the error message suggests and check the error.log file?If so, what did it say?
Why are you trying to install an older version of XAMPP to begin with? The current version is 1.8.1.
If you have Skype - turn it off. Or mess around it's options and turn off usage of port 80. Skype is known to listen on this port.

Discover Aviation Days attendees are being asked to pay special attention to entry and exit instructions this weekend at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport.
An 80 percent scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., is the special feature at this year's event, which kicks off Saturday.
The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) will remain open 24 hours for viewing, closing at 4 p.m. Sunday, said Craig Schiller, lead event organizer.
Event attendees should enter the Anoka County-Blaine Airport on the south side, at the 93rd Lane and Airport Road entrance. Traffic will exit to the east.
"Most event parking will be in the east fields. Attendees will exit the airport onto Xylite Street N.E., which will take them to Interstate 35W," Schiller said.
According to Schiller, the AVTT will be the largest memorial wall of its type to visit Minnesota. All Discover Aviation Days' 20 events and exhibits are free.
Discover Aviation Days will feature flying demonstrations, kids' activities, numerous exhibits, paid aircraft and helicopter rides and food booths.
General aviation and corporate aircraft, experimental, World War II fighters, trainers and bombers and modern military planes will be displayed, Schiller said.
An early morning pancake breakfast and lunch will be served both days. Breakfast will be served at 7 a.m. and lunch at noon.
Discover Aviation Days hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Both days will feature a Discover Aviation Days opening ceremony at 9:15 a.m. followed by a T-6 Texan squadron fly-over scheduled at 9:50 a.m., Schiller said. An afternoon fly-over by the T-6 Thunder North American Flight Team is scheduled at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The T-6 Texan was a single-engine advanced trainer used to train pilots of the U.S. Army Air Forces, U.S. Navy, Royal Air Force and air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II.
The Golden Wings Museum's 12th annual hangar dance is Saturday, June 2, from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Admission is $12 for adults and $8 for students Kids 12 and under are free.

So essentially, he has taken my apartment away from me because I refused to sign the lease if he was on it.
A couple of my friends and I are going to the apt and getting as much stuff out as I can today and into a storage. I'll have to go back and get the furniture when I can hire someone to get it it of there. I just can't believe this utter horseshit......he has not intention of actually keeping the apt, or paying the rent. He will wait until they evict him. How can someone who says they want to spend the rest of their life with you do a complete turnaround in 24 hrs.?
I asked him one last time yesterday if he would sign the statement removing his name from the lease. I got a fuck no, I'm not signing that and then he hung up on me. Then a few hours later, he texts me and says that I need to chill out and he will be moving on in August, really??. I have not begged or cried in front of him, but I am just devastated . Can't even see the keyboard because I'm crying so much.
I was hoping to be able to get all my stuff into a uhaul today, but that is going to be impossible. I'm staying with friends an hour away, but im not going to be able to stay there for long.

60 years young..
I want to D WH but I know that the process will take time..
I know that I have to get the police to evict him but I have to file for D first, I haven't done that yet..
I want to be out of the house as of yesterday :/
I was thinking of finding friends of mine that have a need to go on vacation, but need sitters for their doggies, kitties or homes..
A good way for me to get a breath of fresh air and be away from WH..
In my case, I would have to find people that allow me to bring my doggies with me..
Can you do something like this, so that you would have space and time to yourself to search for a permanent place ?
[This message edited by doggiediva at 6:28 PM, July 13th (Saturday)]
If your financials are on the lease, then it could affect your credit which will make it hard for you to find another place. I wonder if getting a lawyer involved would be helpful to light a fire under your squatter or the apartment manager allowing him to take advantage of you. Does the manager really want to deal with evicting someone and having to find another tenant? It sounds like you have been there awhile. Seems smarter to help you get rid of WEX somehow.
He has no intention of paying the rent at all. So I refused to sign the lease, called in some favors with friends and are in the process of getting my stuff out of the apt.
I have consulted an attorney and apparently this crap is legal & the spt won't do anything bout this. I don't understand their stance but I told them I would not sign and I would be out by Aug 31. I am going to consult the attorney &find out how i can protect myself from being responsible if he can damages the apt.
I would have thought that they would help me, cuz after all, I'm the primary leaseholder.
I would have thought that they would help me, cuz after all, I'm the primary leaseholder.
If they really want to take some guy they have not vetted ...well...just so long as the give you your deposit back...
Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.

Blackberry OS
Sometime in 2004, BlackBerrys began to bloom from e-mailfocused thin clients into honest-to-goodness PDAs, with color screens, more memory, and a wealth of third-party software. E-mail is still BlackBerry's strength, and the devices lack the touch screens, memory card slots, multimedia verve, and handwriting recognition that Palm and Windows Mobile devotees are used to.
Nonetheless, RIM has expanded its focus. More than 600 business-geared applications are now available for RIM devices, according to Clint Patterson of Handango. And Gartner Data-quest analyst Todd Kort says that about 650,000 BlackBerrys were sold in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2005five times the sales of Dell Axim or HP iPAQ devices.

ABC's RICK KLEIN: Is it possible to embrace Obamacare without embracing Obama? That's the mission embarked on by Sen. Mark Pryor, who's done a very rare thing for a red-state Democrat: He's touting his support of the Obama health care law in a new statewide television ad. The ad - first reported by The Washington Post's Greg Sargent - makes savvy use of Pryor's personal health history, and of his still-popular father, a former senator and Democratic legend in the state. What makes it noteworthy, though, is the way Pryor is trying to reframe the debate around Obamacare, during something of a lull in the anti-Obamacare messaging war. He doesn't seek to own all of the law - or even mention the law by name. What will be interesting to see now is whether he gets company; we know he'll get pushback.
ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE: The trial of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell continues today and it's likely to be the juiciest day in a trial full of jaw dropping moments. Last night the defense was about to get into the state of the McDonnells' marriage, but the judge interrupted and said it should be saved for today. Why is something that sounds so personal critical in this corruption trial? The defense has argued Bob and Maureen McDonnell's marriage was so broken there was no way the two could have conspired together to accept the lavish gifts from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for helping to promote his product. They have even argued their marriage was so on the ropes the then-first lady of Virginia had a "crush" on Williams. The trial has detailed many instances of Maureen McDonnell seeming to have lost her grasp on reality, with witnesses even testifying she seemed to have "mental health" issues. Today, we will hear Bob McDonnell discuss the inner workings of his marriage and his relationship with his wife from his own point of view. It could be the most crucial day of the trial.

RICK PERRY PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO FELONY CHARGES. Texas Gov. Rick Perry Wednesay pleaded not guilty to two felony charges on which he was indicted relating to a 2013 veto threat, ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ reports. Perry's attorneys entered the not-guilty plea Wednesday morning and waived his formal arraignment scheduled for Friday morning. "The waiver of arraignment contains the plea of not guilty," David Botsford, an attorney for Perry, said. In a theatrical manner, Perry turned himself into authorities Tuesday at the Travis County Courthouse, getting his fingerprints taken and smiling for a mug shot. The two felony counts - abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public official - originate from Perry's threat to veto $7.5 million in funding for Texas' public integrity unit after District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg refused to resign following a 2013 DWI conviction. Perry will travel to Washington Thursday for a speech on the border crisis before heading to New Hampshire, where he has events scheduled for Friday and Saturday. http://abcn.ws/VET3q7
WORLD 'APPALLED' BY JAMES FOLEY BEHEADING, OBAMA SAYS. "The entire world is appalled" by ISIS's slaughter of American journalist James Foley, a visibly angry President Obama said Wednesday, report ABC's ERIN DOOLEY and ARLETTE SAENZ. "No just God would stand for what they did yesterday or every single day," the president said during a news conference in Martha's Vineyard. "People like this ultimately fail. They fail because the future's won by those who build and not destroy. The world is shaped by people like Jim Foley." The terrorist group beheaded Foley in a grisly video posted online Tuesday evening. The U.S. intelligence community verified the video's authenticity yesterday morning. According to one senior U.S. official, ISIS had warned the U.S. that they planned to kill Foley to avenge airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq. Prior to his execution, U.S. officials say, they used Turkish, Russian and Czech intermediaries to advocate for his release. "A group like ISIL has no place in the 21st century," Obama said Wednesday, using the acronym by which the militant group is also known. "They have rampaged across cities and villages killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. They abduct women and children and subject them to torture and rape and slavery … ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings." http://abcn.ws/YA2ed1
BUSH'S BIRTHDAY GIFT TO CLINTON A BUCKET OF COLD WATER? When former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager, pro-golfer Rory McIlroy, San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh and philanthropist Woody Johnson nominated President George W. Bush for the ice bucket challenge to strike out ALS, the former president wasn't sure that pouring a pail of freezing water on his head - even in the name of raising awareness for a fatal disease - was properly dignified, ABC's ERIN DOOLEY notes. "To you all who have challenged me: I do not think it's presidential for me to be splashed with ice water, so I'm simply going to write you a check," President Bush says in a video posted to his Facebook page Wednesday. Just when you're starting to fear Bush's video will be even more boring than a ceremonial ribbon cutting, former first lady Laura Bush appears with a bucket. Grinning, she unceremoniously dumps its contents on the former commander-in-chief's head. A sopping George W. then nominates his presidential predecessor, Bill Clinton. "Yesterday was Bill's birthday and my gift to Bill is a bucket of cold water," Bush deadpans. http://abcn.ws/1uWDr0d
SUPREME COURT BLOCKS VIRGINIA GAY MARRIAGE, FOR NOW. The Supreme Court Wednesday blocked same sex marriages from going forward in Virginia, putting on hold a lower court ruling from last month that struck down the state's strict ban on gay marriage, according to ABC's ARIANE DE VOGUE. The action by the high court means that gay marriages, that were set to begin Thursday,will not go forward while supporters of the state ban appeal the issue to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court acted on an application filed by Michele B. McQuigg, a state clerk who had petitioned for a stay pending appeal. In a one page order, with no noted dissents, the Supreme Court granted the request. While Mark R. Herring, Virginia's Attorney General, has argued that the state ban is unconstitutional, he urged the Supreme Court to grant the stay. In court briefs Herring said it was "painful to keep Virginia's same-sex couples and their children waiting," but that the "balance of hardships" favored a stay. http://abcn.ws/1s05Ihn
WHITE HOUSE KNEW OF RECENT ISIS THREAT TO KILL US JOURNALIST. ISIS had recently threatened to kill U.S. journalist James Foley to avenge airstrikes the United States has conducted in Iraq, a senior U.S. official told ABC News. The White House had been aware of the threat prior to the release of a video Tuesday night that appears to show the beheading of Foley and warns that militants will carry out a similar act against U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff, who went missing in August, the official said, according to ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ and JONATHAN KARL. President Obama was briefed on the video aboard Air Force One Tuesday night as he returned to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, from Washington to resume his August vacation. The White House said the intelligence community is working to authenticate the gruesome video that allegedly shows Foley's beheading. "If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends," Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said. http://abcn.ws/1pe6nh0
SUPPORT FOR U.S. AIRSTRIKES IN IRAQ JUMPS. After splitting evenly two months ago, a majority of Americans now support U.S. air strikes in Iraq - but without additional credit to Barack Obama for ordering them, notes ABC's GREG HOLYK. Support for the military action against Sunni insurgents in Iraq is up by 9 percentage points since June, from 45 to 54 percent in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, while opposition is down by 7 points, to 39 percent. Yet views on Obama's handling of the situation are essentially unchanged - 42 percent approve, while 51 percent disapprove. On a third question, the public divides on providing arms and ammunition to the Kurdish military forces who are opposing the insurgents, with 45 percent in favor, 49 percent opposed. The air strikes, which began nearly two weeks ago, represent the most significant U.S. military operations in Iraq since the withdrawal of the last ground troops in late 2011. Interviews for this survey, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, were completed before the announcement that U.S. air strikes had assisted Iraqi and Kurdish forces in recapturing the Mosul Dam, a major strategic objective. http://abcn.ws/1pKPn1O
RICK PERRY'S MUGSHOT VS. OFFICIAL GOVERNOR'S PORTRAIT, WHICH IS BETTER? Texas Gov. Rick Perry turned himself into authorities Tuesday and posed for what might be one of the best looking political mugshots in history, notes ABC's SCOTT WILSON. The question is, did Rick Perry take his mugshot with all the gubernatorial swagger expected of his office? And how does his mugshot stack up to the governor's official portrait? Though the intense gaze in Perry's portrait wasn't quite replicated in the mugshot, there certainly seems to be some similarity between the two pictures. First, the governor definitely likes the way he looks - and a cop with a camera certainly wasn't going to change that. Perry's compulsively-coiffed hair and casual smirk almost make you forget that the man is looking at the possibility of spending the next century behind bars. In neither photo was Perry wearing his infamous hipster glasses - the pair that the ophthalmologist-senator, and possible presidential hopeful Rand Paul zinged him on in a Politico op-ed last month. http://abcn.ws/1lhXgw1
AG ERIC HOLDER IN FERGUSON RECALLS BEING 'ANGRY' AFTER POLICE ENCOUNTERS. Attorney General Eric Holder went to the strife torn town of Ferguson Wednesday where he met with the family of slain teenager Michael Brown and talked about his own run-ins with police that left him "angry and upset," ABC's ERIN DOOLEY reports. The nation's top law enforcement official, who is the first African-American named to the post, said he hoped his presence and interest in the case would have a "calming influence on the area." Ferguson has been roiled by angry protests, rock and bottle throwing and some looting since Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Police Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Brown was African-American and Wilson is white. Holder told people in Ferguson that he understood their mistrust of police. "I am the attorney general of the United States. But I am also a black man," Holder said. "I've confronted this myself." Holder, who also met with local FBI agents and justice department personnel, promised a "thorough" federal investigation. "My hope is that will give people some degree of confidence," he said. http://abcn.ws/1z340OS
DFA ENDORSES AMANDA CURTIS. The progressive group Democracy for America has endorsed Amanda Curtis, the Democrats' Senate candidate in Montana, who stepped in after Sen. John Walshe stepped out. DFA Chair Jim Dean on the endorsement: "Amanda Curtis is precisely the new progressive hero Montana Democrats need to defeat a Koch-brothers funded right-wing extremist like Steve Daines. Democracy for America members in Big Sky Country and across the nation couldn't be more excited about supporting Amanda are looking forward to knocking on the doors and making the phone calls necessary to make Montana's voice for working families in Washington."

Red hat linux 7.1 doest not detect my modem, says its a "winmodem"
Linux does not detect my modem, it's a " HSP56 micromodem (internal). Are there any drivers which will support this modem ? or will i have to go for a new modem ? if yes ,which one? please guide me through this .i am an eager developer who wants to join the open source community.
http://www.linmodems.org/ is your best bet, but its still a very slim chance.
If you need a new modem then pretty much any external modem that connects through the serial port will be fine. I'm rather fond of the Dimond SupraExpress 56e Pro.
There has been a lot of discussion on this forum about winmodems. Some will work, others will not. If you want to know if your winmodem will work, go to and do a search on "compatibility list". You should find something there that will help you to decide if your winmodem will work with linux.
As mentioned in previous post, an external modem atached to your serial port will work with the least amount of hastle.
However, a compatible internal modem will also work fine. I use a U.S. Robotics 56K Fax PCI modem. It was easy to set up, once I learned how.
Although I have no experience with this, I believe that any hayes compatible modem should work.
In the final analysis, I think I would stick with a modem that I know is compatible.
Internal modem=infernal modem...do your comp a favor and get an external. Have a look at this page for more internal modem info.

Twenty years ago, I was shifting my ministry focus from the Texas prisons to the streets of the inner city. My wife wanted to tag along and take our three children. After church one Sunday afternoon, we bought a lot of bread, peanut butter, apples, and bottles of water. We made fifty sack lunches. We set out for the area of the old Star of Hope men's shelter in downtown Houston. (The Astros baseball stadium now occupies the area.)
The plan was to hand out sack lunches and talk to as many people as we could, maybe even pray with a few of them. We were more than a little apprehensive about it. I actually got out of the car and engaged people. Nancy was skittish, particularly about our children, and sat in the car with them. I remember when she rolled the car window down a few inches and handed a sack through the narrow opening to a wretched looking man. We would later laugh at that incident.
The lunches were quickly gone and it had been hard to talk to many of the men. We learned several things that day. First, apples were a poor choice to give to homeless people. Most of them had bad teeth and could not comfortably eat an apple.
We also learned a mathematical principle when only one man in fifty responded by letting us pray with him. The "one in fifty formula" almost always worked. In the future, if we wanted to pray with five people, we took 250 lunches.
I finally finished talking to the man, whose name was Harry. He was to become a friend of our family and church. We had run out of lunches, so it was time to go. As we drove away, Nancy and I were slightly discouraged because it seemed like nothing significant had happened.
In fact, something significant had happened, we just had not noticed. Our children were sitting in the backseat crying because we had run out of lunches and there were a lot of people still wanting food. That let us know that we had accomplished something when we saw how our own children's hearts had been touched. We would soon be meeting, feeding, and making friends with a lot more homeless people. We were being drawn to the disadvantaged people of our city.

The Sandy Bridge Review: Intel Core i7-2600K, i5-2500K and Core i3-2100 Testedby Anand Lal Shimpi on January 3, 2011 12:01 AM EST
Final Words
In terms of absolute CPU performance, Sandy Bridge doesn't actually move things forward. This isn't another ultra-high-end CPU launch, but rather a refresh for the performance mainstream and below. As one AnandTech editor put it, you get yesterday's performance at a much lower price point. Lynnfield took away a lot of the reason to buy an X58 system as it delivered most of the performance with much more affordable motherboards; Sandy Bridge all but puts the final nail in X58's coffin. Unless you're running a lot of heavily threaded applications, I would recommend a Core i7-2600K over even a Core i7-980X. While six cores are nice, you're better off pocketing the difference in cost and enjoying nearly the same performance across the board (if not better in many cases).
In all but the heaviest threaded applications, Sandy Bridge is the fastest chip on the block—and you get the performance at a fairly reasonable price. The Core i7-2600K is tempting at $317 but the Core i5-2500K is absolutely a steal at $216. You're getting nearly $999 worth of performance at roughly a quarter of the cost. Compared to a Core i5-750/760, you'll get an additional 10-50% performance across the board in existing applications, and all that from a ~25% increase in clock speed. A big portion of what Sandy Bridge delivers is due to architectural enhancements, the type of thing we've come to expect from an Intel tock. Starting with Conroe, repeating with Nehalem, and going strong once more with Sandy Bridge, Intel makes this all seem so very easy.
Despite all of the nastiness Intel introduced by locking/limiting most of the Sandy Bridge CPUs, if you typically spend around $200 on a new CPU then Sandy Bridge is likely a better overclocker than anything you've ever owned before it. The biggest loser in the overclock locks is the Core i3 which now ships completely locked. Thankfully AMD has taken care of the low-end segments very well over the past couple of years. All Intel is doing by enforcing clock locks for these lower end chips is sending potential customers AMD's way.
The Core i3-2100 is still a step forward, but not nearly as much of one as the 2500K. For the most part you're getting a 5-20% increase in performance (although we did notice some 30-40% gains), but you're giving up overclocking as an option. For multithreaded workloads you're better off with an Athlon II X4 645; however, for lightly threaded work or a general purpose PC the Core i3-2100 is likely faster.
If this were a normal CPU, I'd probably end here, but Sandy Bridge is no normal chip. The on-die GPU and Quick Sync are both noteworthy additions. Back in 2006 I wondered if Intel would be able to stick to its aggressive tick-tock cadence. Today there's no question of whether or not Intel can do it. The question now is whether Intel will be able to sustain a similarly aggressive ramp in GPU performance and feature set. Clarkdale/Arrandale were both nice, but they didn't do much to compete with low-end discrete GPUs. Intel's HD Graphics 3000 makes today's $40-$50 discrete GPUs redundant. The problem there is we've never been happy with $40-$50 discrete GPUs for anything but HTPC use. What I really want to see from Ivy Bridge and beyond is the ability to compete with $70 GPUs. Give us that level of performance and then I'll be happy.
The HD Graphics 2000 is not as impressive. It's generally faster than what we had with Clarkdale, but it's not exactly moving the industry forward. Intel should just do away with the 6 EU version, or at least give more desktop SKUs the 3000 GPU. The lack of DX11 is acceptable for SNB consumers but it's—again—not moving the industry forward. I believe Intel does want to take graphics seriously, but I need to see more going forward.
Game developers need to put forth some effort as well. Intel has clearly tried to fix some of its bad reputation this go around, so simply banning SNB graphics from games isn't helping anyone. Hopefully both sides will put in the requisite testing time to actually improve the situation.
Quick Sync is just awesome. It's simply the best way to get videos onto your smartphone or tablet. Not only do you get most if not all of the quality of a software based transcode, you get performance that's better than what high-end discrete GPUs are able to offer. If you do a lot of video transcoding onto portable devices, Sandy Bridge will be worth the upgrade for Quick Sync alone.
For everyone else, Sandy Bridge is easily a no brainer. Unless you already have a high-end Core i7, this is what you'll want to upgrade to.
