San Jose, Calif. – Marking its third acquisition announcement in two weeks, San Jose-based networking equipment giant Cisco said on Thursday it will pay approximately $141 million to buy Sunnyvale-based Cariden Technologies, a supplier of network planning, design and traffic management tools for telecom service providers.
The deal is expected to close by the end of January.
Cisco said the acquisition will help its provider customers enhance the visibility, programmability and efficiency of their converged networks, while improving service velocity.
"Given the widespread convergence of IP and optical networks, Cariden's technology will help carriers more efficiently manage bandwidth, network traffic and intelligence," said Surya Panditi, the senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Service Provider Networking Group. "This acquisition signals the next phase in Cisco's packet and optical convergence strategy and further strengthens our ability to lead this market transition in networking."
Cisco earlier this month also announced plans to acquire Meraki and Cloupia. Cariden's employees will be integrated into Cisco's Service Provider Networking Group.

Resort Realty Books
Since 1987, Resort Realty has provided vacation rentals and professional real estate services in the Outer Banks. Since inception, their goal has been to deliver 100% satisfaction to all guests and clientele. Over the years, Resort Realty has grown into four full-service offices, managing more than 450 properties with 35 full time employees. In 2008, Resort Realty was accepted as a member of the Chicago-based Leading Real Estate Companies of the World ̈, a network of nearly 700 of the best-known local and regional real estate firms with 5,500 offices and 170,000 associates nationwide.
Business Challenge
The majestic and multimillion dollar properties that line the shores of the North Carolina Outer Banks can prove to be big money-makers for their owners if they are able to keep their properties occupied. This can prove to be a tricky task, especially when lease agreements fall through. As Michael Harrington, CEO of Resort Realty, knows all too well, it is not uncommon for much-desired, waterfront homes to go unoccupied during peak summer weeks if the contract process goes awry. Not only did Resort Realty, which books roughly 7,000 reservations each year, take a hit to the wallet when a delay occurred, but so did the rental's owner, Harrington says. "We can only sell that rental week one time, and then it's gone," he says. "So if we tied that week off the market while waiting for a guest to sign, and then don't end up booking it, we might have lost that opportunity to book it altogether." That is a major reason why Resort Realty, which manages more than 450 vacation rental properties, ranging in size from two-bedroom condominiums to 12-bedroom estate homes, contracted with DocuSign for its electronic signature and contract execution services.
DocuSign Solution
Harrington says he initially considered implementing an e-signature offering after seeing the technology deployed in other industries. He conducted research online and performed a cost-versus-return analysis. In the end, what ultimately led him to DocuSign was their impressive list of clients. "It just made me feel better about their system than all of the others I was looking at," he says. Resort Realty contracted with DocuSign to provide electronic signature and contract execution services.
The DocuSign service has come to the rescue, reducing the signing time from "a few days to a few minutes," Harrington says. "The quicker we can get the reservation confirmed, the better for our owners. They don't have to worry about the reservation dropping off. Our owners love it because they can see a confirmed reservation on their home a lot quicker than they normally would." Owners can now reap an additional benefit by using DocuSign. For the first time, Resort Realty has begun digitally delivering annual renewal contracts to owners. Once owners electronically sign the contract, Resort Realty can approve the next year's rental rates, allowing the company to announce availability on its Website so vacationers can jump start booking for the next vacation season. The 35-employee company is now working with DocuSign to integrate the e-signing service with their customer management software. Currently sales agents perform multiple steps before being able to electronically deliver the lease agreement to a customer. When it is finally completed, the workflow process will become exponentially more efficient, Harrington predicted. "It will be a one-click send from our software," he says. "Then, it'll be 100 times easier for my reservationists." Asked what he would tell his peers about the product, Harrington says he would encourage them to try it out, as it is straightforward to use, and DocuSign works diligently to ensure that customers are well trained in deploying the tool. But he figures he soon will not have to do much persuading. While Resort Realty may hold a competitive advantage right now, Harrington expects most rival agencies to use similar technology in the near future. "DocuSign is going to become the standard," he says. "It works. You get a lot of stuff that you think is going to be great and it ends up not working, especially with technology. DocuSign does what it needs to do. We love it."

Mindy McCready is the proud new mom of a baby boy.
Although the country singer initially announced she was pregnant with twins back in November, Mindy delivered one child, Zayne, on Monday.
"Zayne is truly a blessing and a joy," Mindy and boyfriend David Wilson said in a statement, according to People. "It was a long and trying pregnancy; we're so happy he's here. There are no words to convey how happy we are."
The singer's rep explained the twins mix-up to E! News, saying, "At the time of the initial announcement surrounding Mindy's pregnancy, in consideration of her size, Mindy was certain she was carrying twins; a misinterpreted sonogram seemed to support her feelings and excitement."
Zayne is the second child for Mindy, who is also mother to 6-year-old son Zander with ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight.

Genesee Co. towing companies respond to massive interstate pileup
Fri, 01 Feb 2013 02:59:12 GMT —
Several towing companies from across Genesee County responded to the multi-vehicle pileup on US-23 in Mundy Township Thursday afternoon.
The biggest challenge, tow truck drivers said, was navigating the accident scene where multiple police and fire departments and ambulances were also responding.
â??Mass chaos,â?? Donald Fee described. His company, US 23 Auto Care & Towing, towed four of the 33 vehicles involved in the chain reaction crash.
â??Emergency vehicles everywhere, tow trucks everywhere. Of course the expressway is backed up, so it's difficult for us to get to the scene of the accident to try to clean it up quickly so that the flow of traffic can resume.â??
No serious injuries were reported in the pileup.

Allday - You Always Know the DJ
You know those women who seem to know every single person in your city's music scene, never have to pay a cover change and invariably get invited backstage at shows? I've dated a few of 'em in my day, and apparently Allday has as well. Chosen as "iTunes Single of the Week" in the artist's native Australia, You Always Know the DJ sees the unsigned rhymesayer expressing his ambivalence regarding one such chick: though he criticizes her constant partying and lack of long-term perspective, her free-spiritness clearly has him intrigued. One Above's synth boardwork accompanies the cut, which comes complete with visuals directed by Allday himself. Allday's next album, Startup Cult, is set to hit Australian stores July 4; click here to pre-order it on iTunes. Fans can also click here for a free download of this single, valid until the end of the week.

I have a question about the puffed sleeve, shouldn't the puff go around the arm hole and NOT the band? On page 2 of your instructions, you have the band going around the "puff" part of the sleeve, I would think that would go around the edge. Am I just reading it wrong??

To create new vaccines to combat infections, certain cancers and other illnesses that attack the immune system, scientists need to have a good understanding of the mechanisms behind antibodies. Now, researchers have looked to studying the immune systems of cows to find out more about these immune system proteins.
The research team, from the Scripps Research Institute in California, says the immune systems of cows can help them to better understand the diversity of antibodies, which can lead to the development of improved treatment for illnesses in both humans and livestock.
Their research was presented at the 58th Annual Biophysical Society Meeting in San Francisco, CA, this month.
Dr. Damien Ekiert, of the University of California, San Francisco, took part in the study while at the Scripps Research Institute.
He says the research team found that cows possess antibodies that are very different to those scientists have previously discovered, and the way in which the antibodies diversify was "surprising."
An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system upon the detection of foreign substances known as antigens.
Pictured is the cow antibody BLV1H12, showing the "ball and chain" structure in red. The antibody could shed light on the mechanisms behind the immune system proteins.
Image credit: D.Ekiert/UCSF
Dr. Ekiert explains that the diversity of antibodies in the body is very important. Our body needs a wide range of antibodies to recognize a variety of pathogens in order to trigger the immune system.
"The more different kinds of antibodies we have in our bodies, the more different kinds of targets we can block," Dr. Ekiert adds.
Useful for antibody-based therapies
According to the investigators, past research has detailed the discovery of cow antibodies that possess "long loops." However, how these antibodies were being created and what they looked like remained a mystery.
Using X-ray crystallography, Dr. Ekiert and colleagues discovered that cow antibodies - called BLV1H12 - have a "ball and chain" structure.
Deep sequencing of these antibodies allowed the investigators to better understand the function of these antibodies and how they are created.
The researchers say they are now looking to find out how these bovine antibodies detect specific antigens and how they bind to them - discoveries that could lead to better treatments and diagnostics for various human illnesses.
Commenting on the findings, Dr. Ekiert says:
"First, studying the immune systems of cows and other animals helps us to understand how our own immune systems function.
Second, the unique structure of these cow antibodies may be particularly well-suited for recognizing certain kinds of antigens and may be useful for antibody-based therapies or diagnostics."
Furthermore, Dr. Ekiert says that understanding the mechanisms behind cow antibodies could lead to the creation of new vaccines for cattle that would protect them from common bovine diseases.
"Once we understand these mechanisms, it is possible that bovine antibodies might be able to recognize some antigens that more conventional antibodies cannot, and would help to bind, inhibit and activate targets that have thus far been intractable for antibody-based therapies," he adds.
Medical News Today recently reported on a study detailing a new vaccine that could help boost immune system response.

Did Todd Harding Grab Luke Bryan's Butt at the Greeley Stampede? [POLL]
Brian and I got our seven seconds with Luke Bryan Saturday night at the Greeley Stampede during the backstage meet & greet. We weren't allowed to take our own pictures, so this is the one that Luke Bryan's people took for us. I didn't notice until people started pointing it out on Facebook, but it looks like I am grabbing Luke's keyster. I am denying it. What do you think? Take our poll!
O.K. here is what really happened : They wouldn't allow us to use our own cameras, so I am hiding mine in my left hand behind Luke's butt. Instead of grabbing his backside, I am actually clutching the camera strap.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: Ocean10000 & incrediBILL & keyplyr
Since I have no customers that would belong to those specific ranges (China), I thought I could start blocking countries.
I wonder what would be the best online tool (site) for finding where a certain IP range belongs.
In the event that your looking to obtain ALL IP's for a specific country try a geo targeting database [ip2location.com] ?
edited by wilderness:
Some similar threads.
I've been getting an increasing number of Chinese scrapes and bots during the past few weeks and I'm also looking into country-blocking on my server. In my case I have to worry about a few of my clients who actually trade in Asia, South Americe and Russia, so I'll have to offer blocking opt-out on a site basis.
Here is the link for China:
To find ranges for other Asian countries just change the two letter country code on the end of the URL to tw, jp, th, in, or vn etc.
[edited by: Mokita at 10:39 pm (utc) on Mar. 18, 2009]
every few weeks or so for the countries that we do bussness with.
not to hijack the thread but always ment to ask: are humans using that ISP at all?
Additionally, some US/European providers offer US/European IPs for Chinese companies. And if someone is using a satellite connection, you may only locate the provider, so that US and European IPs may be used by i.e. Nigerians.
I assume that there are no cases where IP range would change from one to another country.Well, wrong ;)
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/stats/delegated-ripencc-latestI found some inconsistencies between "delegated" and RIR database data. I remember that some IP ranges were delegated to other countries than mentioned in the RIPE database, i.e. RU was delegated to DE.
Here is the link for China:These are only official Chinese IP ranges in Asia (APNIC). China is in Europe, too. Example: 91.196.232/22 (see also spamhaus.org, ROK7829: Russian Business Network - The Russians go "Chinese")
--netdirekt--German server farm. There are not many humans in a data center.

Is hollow point ammunition any noiser than any other ammunition?
I am very new to guns and the range I'll be going to does not allow hollow point cartridges for target shooting. They said "because of the noise". Is hollow point ammunition any noiser than any other ammunition? Also, I bought some .357 magnum 158 grain loads. When I got them home I saw they were hollow points. I know this is probably a dumb question but are there .357 magnum loads that are NOT hollow points? If so, can you tell me what brands or what I should ask for at the gun shop? Thank you. :o
I saw some .357 non-hollow points yesterday online, but why not just use .38 special for targets? You can find the .38 special in FMJ easily at the Walmart i visit. I think the .38 is a bit less expensive, as well as easier on the ears & wrist.
This is what i saw yesterday & this is a new site vendor. Heck, i'm kinda tempted here, myself.
Never heard of that before. I don't know why cartridges with hollow point bullets would be louder than with solid points. I'd call the range and ask for clarification on this.
The .357 Magnum is louder than the .38 Special because it's more powerful. Both cartridges can use the same .357 inch bullets, and there are .357 Mag rounds that are not hollow points. Yes, ask at the gun shop, I'd think they ought to have a box or two.
So, most .357 magnum cartidges are hollow point, I take it. How do you know by looking at the box whether it's hollow point or not. I looked the box over very closely after I got it home and discovered the .357 magnums I bought were hollow point and I don't see where it says that anywhere on the box. Or is that something that most shooters know?
I have to read the box. If you need to, ask to open the box to see one. Some places might be offended, but i've never had that problem. The last time i was at Walmart, there was a city policeman comparing two different rounds, side-by-side.
Alternatively, you could ask the salesperson for help with it (not so much at Wmart) or look for popular brands online with the features you want then ask for that brand.
edit* What brand is the .357 ammo you have?
I'm kinda surprised they have a ban on HP's at the range; i would think shooting HP would be safer, ricochet-wise. I've never noticed the noise difference personally.
The Magnificent .357 Magnum
I'll bet somewhere on that box of cartridges you bought are the letters HP (hollow point) or maybe JHP (jacketed hollow point).
Sounds like you need to look for FMJ on the box... Full Metal Jacket... They're actually more common to find in my area than HP's.
Look for ammunition marked FMJ. FMJ = Full Metal Jacket
oops, beat me to it.
HP ammo is not louder. The more common NON hollowpoint .357 mag will be JSP (jacketed soft point) and SWC (semi-wadcutter) You may also find some TMJ (total metal jacket) which is used to reduce lead vapor in the air- jacket metal wraps all the way around the lead core, including the base. Some ranges have restrictions on the use of partially jacketed bullets since the jacket metal can come loose on hitting a hard backstop, and bounces around a bit. You may also find RN or LRN (lead round nosed).
Before buying more ammo, you may want to check with the range and see exactly what their requirements are- see the line below.

I didn't find anyone who have made an ardour3 binary package for Ubuntu/Debian. Could I make it for MOTU? I know it isn't stable enough, but it can solve the curiosity problem of the ones who want to take a look on a preview of the MIDI stuff.
I'm developer of Oxe FM Synth http://www.oxesoft.com and I really want to contribute to have a great DAW with MIDI natively (we are almost there!).

NEW YORK (Sep. 22)
The plans for the reorganization of the structure of the Jewish Agency for Israel adopted at the recent meetings in Jerusalem were characterized today as "a major step forward" by Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, chairman of the Jewish Agency-American Section. Speaking at a press conference, Mrs. Halprin said that the September meeting of the executive of the World Zionist Organization was "probably the most important meeting held by the group since the early days of Israel's Statehood.
"For some years now," she said, "the Zionist movement has been considering a reorganization of its legislative bodies, and its executive arm, the Jewish Agency. Such a reorganization is inevitably a painful and difficult experience, and any organization that does so willingly on its own should be applauded.
"The changes, reducing the Jewish Agency structure from sixteen to eight or nine departments, are designed to make the Jewish Agency viable in a Jewish State almost twenty years old; they represent a change in program and function and will result in greater efficiency and economy. The reorganization is more than a matter of economy –though the fact that the Jewish Agency budget will be reduced by $15, 000, 000 in the process must not be overlooked.
"The projected reorganization of the Jewish Agency, which places all immigration settlement and absorption programs under one department, streamlines the techniques to facilitate and expedite the reception, settlement and absorption of new immigrants. The work of absorption must be intensified and expanded; the new immigrants from North Africa and from oriental countries must be completely integrated. There must be only one Israel, with all its citizens equal in opportunity and training. There is also the need of developing new and better techniques for the handling of Western aliyah."

Chris, the team leader, is given the diamond, but Calli secretly receives the real stone along with a vision of the future and an explanation of why she was hand selected to carry out the mission. Almost immediately the hidden diamond oozes unprecedented additional powers and abilities into Calli making her more sought after than the diamond itself.

People That Were Too Stupid To Live
The Darwin awards are named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution. The Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it. That's right, to win a Darwin Award, you have to die doing something really stupid. And we have some really stupid winners this year.

For a ginormous, guitar-wielding sequoia of a man, Zakk Wylde nimbly straddles the thin line between knowing heavy metal god and unwitting heavy metal parodist. As Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist for the past 18 years (give or take), he's already a legend, co-writing hits on Ozzy's solos albums No Rest For the Wicked, No More Tears, and Ozzmosis; too, he's one of the best heavy metal guitarists of all time. He also fronts his own band, Black Label Society, which dropped its seventh album, Mafia, earlier this spring. Here's where that thin line comes into play.
Wylde, throughout his work with Black Label Society, has always (consciously or otherwise) trafficked in cheesy metal clichés: his album covers are populated with skulls and Olde English fonts; he loves beer and claims his music is "alcohol-fueled brewtality"; his song titles are seemingly crafted by a heavy-metal song title generator computer program ("Stronger Than Death", "Genocide Junkies", "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" "Destruction Overdrive", etc….); his fan club members are known as SDMFs ("Society Dwelling Mother Fuckers"), with SDMFs serving in the armed forces known as "Berserkers". It would all be laughable if Wylde weren't so fiercely committed to his pursuit of metal purity. And that's the thing: Somehow, in 2005, in a music scene (hell, culture) fueled by knowing winks, Zakk Wylde makes honest-to-god, irony-free heavy metal work.
Black Label Society
US: 8 Mar 2005
UK: 7 Mar 2005
Fans, both SDMFs and others, are buying into Wylde's ethos: Mafia debuted at #15 on the Billboard charts earlier this year, an unheard-of slot for a heavy metal album with little radio airplay. And while Mafia may not be BLS's definitive masterwork (for my money, that'd be 2000's Stronger Than Death), it's a consistent album, and oh yeah, it rocks. Hard. Opener "Fire It Up" takes a few seconds to do just that, building dread with a menacing rumble, before exploding into a riff-fest that's as funky as it is heavy. "What's In You" is another shredder, though Wylde's vocals on these two tracks are less growly and more pinched than in album's past; his voice is pushed to the front of the mix, as well. It's not a big deal, but it's distracting if you're used to hearing Wylde bellow out of the speakers in a certain way.
Wylde and company (bassist/longtime Wylde cohort James LoMenzo, drummer Craig Nunenmacher and mini-Moog player Barry Conley) switch gears momentarily with the heartfelt piano ballad "In This River", dedicated in the liner notes to Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, who was shot onstage by a crazed fan in December 2004. While the tune was not originally penned for Dimebag, Wylde's bleak lyrics ("In this river all shall fade to black") sum up the senselessness of his good friend's murder. And, as Wylde has said in numerous outlets, Mafia's theme is "protecting friends and family"—"In This River" may not be a typical Black Label Society tune, but it fits perfectly on the album.
Side A finishes up with "You Must Be Blind", a Sabbath-y slice of cartoony evil ("Pure Psychosis in this madhouse / Which I call my home") with a strange techno sound lurking around the tune's edges, and the sinister "Death March", which sounds exactly like it's title suggests; Wylde's guitar dips and buzzes like the Angel of Death hovering over the "spiral of darkness". Again, these songs are on the good side of the self-parody line. But just barely.
Side B opens with the guitar workout "Dr. Octavia"; at 50 seconds long, it's far too short to get a true idea of Wylde's jaw-droppping chops, but it's too good to go unmentioned. Here's hoping Wylde builds on the riff and unveils an extended version this summer at Ozzfest. The rest of the back half of the album follows the same sonic blueprint as the front half, but finds Wylde wrestling with religion in a way that he hasn't done since his (much quieter) 1996 solo album, Book of Shadows. When was the last time a heavy metaller promised "You're gonna meet Jesus if you're messing with me" as Wylde does on "Electric Hellfire"? Usually guys like Wylde send people much further south. I'm only half-kidding, but genuine heartfelt lyrics do pepper Mafia's B-side: "Oh yeah, spread your wings now child / Never return hell before heaven", on the slow-building "Spread Your Wings"; "I was down but now I see / The pain, the hurt, the misery / Oh Lord, it's been a long time / Doing my best I'll try and get it next time" on "Been A Long Time". Wylde's delivery system—monster guitar solos, punishing riffs, "alcohol-fueled brewtality"—may not be the most conventional for his message, but he's a genuine soul-searcher of an artist struggling to rise above the genre's nihilism. Plus, it's, like, totally awesome to head-bang to.

[Artela] The long awaited answer to Glove's questionnaire
Well, here goes... hope you're feeling like reading all of this!
Question 1: Why should I vote for you?
Because I have a sexy avatar? More seriously, because I'm experienced, driven, and flexible enough to change with the demands of the game. Plus I want to give everyone some fun. Oh, and I did I mention already that I have a sexy avatar?
Question 2: What are your thought on Romania, is it okay to go to war with them directly, even after all we've been through?
Romania chose to go to TWO. TWO are the enemy! So yeah, if we actually had a border it would be fine - they made that choice, not us. They aren't friends if they chose to buddy up with Serbia over us!
Question 3: Do you think we should rekindle with Canada, if not, why?
Well, first off, Canada has to actually exist instead of being part of Greater Spain
However, if they were to get back on the map in a big way, they need to prove themselves to America and not be in some other silly alliance etc. Besides, there are good bonuses to be had there. Just sayin'
Question 4: Do you accept Dio as your one and only God Emperor?
Indeed I do.
Question 5: If you could bang any eRep chick, who would it be?
Beachbunny - there's already chemistry there
Question 6: Who posed a greater evil in their prime, the USWP or S.E.E.S?
S.E.E.S, no, USWP... no, S.E.E.S.... no, question too difficult... self destruct enabled!
Question 7: What will you do for D2 fighters such as myself?
Try to improve the bonuses to increase the weapons available through MU communes, and try to improve things in USAF for D2 fighters who want to fight there. Yeah, boring answer is boring, but what ya gonna do when options in this game are so limiting what with the lack of an economy an' all. And you're only D2?!
Question 8: Will you promise me a direct war, I grow rather tired of training wars and neutrality?
We are *all* tired of training wars and no direct wars. However I'm not going to make a promise I can't guarantee to keep, so although I want to direct war, it doe still rely a bit on our alliance and suitable targets... unless of course TWO decide to take the decision out of our hands, at which point "Yay - direct war"
Question 9: Will you let Pfeiffer in your cabinet, if not, why?
He's already CIA, and that's a position that traditionally rolls from one administration to another. I see no reason to rock that boat as long as CIA keeps doing their job properly.
Question 10: What are your thoughts on Ronald Gipper Reagan?
I try not to think about him, thanks. But when I do it's usually in terms of "why haven't you given up already?" and "it's a nice day, why don't you just go take a very long walk off a very short jetty?"
Question 11: How would you envision a world with an active Max Mcfarland II, a Josh Frost, and a Glove?
Could be quite fun, well, apart from the Glove part
Question 12: Who was your most favorite eUSA president, why?
Without doubt, Cerb. He was a really good president, hardworking, talented, approachable and fun. My idea of what a president should be.
Question 13: What have you done within the last 30 days of value?
Does filling out this questionnaire count? (Losing the will to live about now by the way - this is one long ass questionnaire!). Anyway, during Vanek's presidency I've attended some CoT meetings (do you know how dull those are? I need a gold star for volunteering on that one!) and done some advising on milstuffs, and have also done a bunch of party publicity work and donated a bunch of stuff to both party and country player support programs. Also kicked ass in a few battles. You know, the usual.
Question: 14: What do you consider your most monumental achievement here?
Ah, that would be successfully defending London while I was still a redcoat, but then defecting to eUSA (still the best decision I ever made, because eUSA still rocks) and helping Eden and eUSA and assorted allies to wipe London for the first time. Was kinda fun and very cool.
Question 15: Who would you reach out to in foreign affairs? Where do you see CoT going and do you think we really have a place in it? If so, provide examples of CoT and USA prideful moments/benefits.
Some CoT members have assisted with ATO efforts, and all in all this alliance has been better than the last several have worked out. As to outreach - we have to keep the hand of friendship extended to those wishing to leave Eden and keep them onside, even if they don't want to look toward CoT, we should at least be able to foster good relations and friendships just like we have with some other long term allies.
Question 16: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Biggest strength is my ability to read most situations quickly and respond just as quickly when dealing with diplomatic affairs. The ability to make myself understood in a few different languages also helps there, although I still won't be learning Macedonian! Biggest weakness would probably be that I don't always make the right call, but I'd rather be wrong occasionally than not take some needed risks - safe is boring for everyone, and safe takes too long when things take so little time to change in this game.
Question 17: Will you join my harem?
Question 18: What are your thoughts on the JCS?
They chose their own path. There are some good people in there though that I get on well with, and in the days of so many disparate independent MUs I don't think they are that much different from many other military organizations.
Question 19: If you could change one thing in eRep history, what would it be?
In my own personal history it would be where I decided to be eBorn. If only I'd realized how much more awesome eUSA was than eUK from the start... isn't hindsight a marvellous beast!
Question 20: How many times have you watched Fight Club?
Question 21: What did you think of this video?
I lolled. I mean seriously lolled. Out loud! Very Loudly!
Question 22: Am got meme?
*slaps* Glove. Language!
Question 23: Do you think we should continue "Unity" Elections, if so, for how long and why?
I think Unity elections suck and should be got rid of as soon as we are sure it wouldn't hand the place over to RGR or the Serbs.
Question 24: Where did TERRA go wrong? How can we avoid this in COT?
TERRA suffered from infighting, various CPs not getting on with various other CPs and making rash and stupid decisions. CoT so far looks more promising because of the 100% consensus on decisions and the long trial memberships to make sure everyone is happy.
Question 25: Will you give us a purpose? What do you envision for the eUSA?
eUSA is awesome, but it could be even more awesome. People need some fun in their eLives. People need some wars in their eLives. If at all possible I will try to bring these things to the people of eAmerica.
The tl;dr answer to "Why Artela"
Strong eMilitary Background
Strong Foreign Affairs Background
Strong Alliances Background
Strong Cabinet, a team full of awesome
Let's Have some Fun!
All the best

What a blessing a Kneely was to our family. Mom had to undergo major reconstructive foot surgery and considering we have three young kids we had to quickly figure out how we were going to manage. Amanda was born with a major deformity and after 35+ years the pain was becoming intolerable and impacting her ability to stay active. So under the knife she went and into the laundry room and kitchen went dad and the three young kids. Recovery from a major surgery is bad enough but when you couple it with the misery of crutches or a wheelchair, we figured that there must be a better way. Her surgeon suggested we rent a rolling knee scooter to help get her out and about, and what a blessing it was for her to feel like she was contributing to the family once again. After three miserable weeks recovering on the sofa she was able to get out of the house and back to her part-time job as our church's pre-K director (limited of course) only because of the freedom she had with a rolling scooter. Getting out proved to be the greatest therapy she could have gotten. After seeing what this product can do for our family, we were moved to share it with those who could use it to help change their lives, even if for just a few weeks.
If you can't put weight on a foot or ankle because of injury, illness or surgery, a knee scooter may be what you need. Knee scooters are a personal mobility device that are used as an alternative to crutches, traditional walkers, and wheelchairs. The Nova Knee Walker provides an excellent example of the knee scooter. It is a four-wheeled, steerable, kneeling walker which comfortably supports the injured limb and is propelled using the good leg. This device offers mobility to people who cannot use a foot or ankle but want to remain active.
NO lifting, NO hopping, just steer and glide into recovery! We offer both sales and rental options and would love to get you set up today!!!

Instead of attempting to thin their audiences down, theaters are welcoming the obesity, making it more comfortable for overweight movie-goers to sit around some more. By offering crap at the concession stands, theaters are certainly playing a role in fattening up their audience but I'll delve into that in another post.
Overweight Americans mean fewer seats at the movie theater

The next time you get upset over your favorite new movie being sold out, go right ahead and blame the obesity epidemic! Due to weight gain over the past 20 years, American movie theaters have had to expand as well, but not their venue size. In order to accommodate larger movie-goers, we are seeing an expansion in seat size. A recent study showed that New York's City Center's renovation includes expanding the width of its seats by an average of two inches, and the distance between rows from 32 inches to between 33 and 48 inches. It may sound like a little but it is huge when you think about the impact.

TRINITY — Authorities have released a composite sketch of the man who pistol-whipped a 71-year-old woman and tried to rob a pharmacy in the early afternoon of April 14.
He is described as a Hispanic man, 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 180 pounds. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office describes him as having a scruffy mustache and dark eyes.
Eleni Kalogianis — the woman he beat in the head with his gun in the parking lot outside Ross Dress for Less — previously told the Times that he was shorter than that and clean-shaven with a round face.
She was leaving the store at State Road 54 and Little Road when the man put a gun to her throat and tried to force her into her car.
She said no and ended up on the ground, with the man beating her and shouting that he was going to kill her.
Kalogianis' wounds needed 24 staples.
As he bashed her, the man saw another couple by their van. He took their keys at gunpoint.
Authorities say the man then picked up an accomplice and, less than an hour later, tried to rob the Medicine Shoppe, a pharmacy at a shopping plaza at State Route 54 and Duck Slough Boulevard.
There, the pharmacist, Ben Benoit, fought off the robbers, wrestling for control of their shotgun.
Benoit's wife chased the two out of the store with her own gun, shooting their getaway van.
The van was later ditched.
The two got into a newer model, silver Dodge Stratus, according to authorities.
There is no composite sketch of the second suspect.
Detectives believe it was a woman with a slender build, about 5 feet 6 inches tall. She carried a handgun into the pharmacy.
Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call the Pasco County Sheriff's Office toll-free at 1-800-706-2488. Tips can be left anonymously.
The suspects are considered armed and dangerous.

Audi of America announced plans to offer HD Radio technology as a standard feature in many of its vehicles beginning with 2011 models, which should start arriving in dealerships sometime in 2010. HD Radio currently offers more than 1,800 AM and FM stations and over 900 new multicast channels (HD2/HD3) on the FM dial.
HD Radio is sometimes misunderstood. It's subscription-free and offers digitally-delivered music, news, and entertainment formats. But it's also subject to the same range problems that plague terrestrial analog FM stations (i.e. it's not satellite radio, where you can listen to it anywhere but have to pay a monthly fee for access).
HD Radio also supports data delivery, meaning that you can see text information with song titles, artist names, real-time traffic/weather updates, movie listings, sports scores, stock quotes, school closings and emergency alerts.

Durban - The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has urged its members to prepare to "physically defend" South Africa's democracy from the "anarchists" in the EFF who disrupted Parliament last week.
Calling the EFF an unnecessary irritation, Magasela Mzobe, co-ordinator of the national task team set up to run the youth league, said the ANCYL must be the "Doom" that "destroys that mosquito".
The league could not sit back while President Jacob Zuma was insulted and Parliament was disrupted by Julius Malema and the EFF, Mzobe told about 100 members at a meeting at Durban University of Technology on Sunday.
Mzobe, who is being backed by the ANC's powerful eThekwini region to take over as youth league president at next month's elective conference, said they planned to meet the EFF in the streets outside Parliament - "where the rules of Parliament do not apply".
"They are physically disrupting Parliament and we must physically defend our democracy… If you understand our role, you will know that we do not need the permission of the ANC leadership to defend our democracy," Mzobe said, to wild applause.
"The police of the Western Cape failed to bring order to Parliament. They could not bring order... that is why the youth league must stand up and defend this revolution," he said.
Mzobe, along with Sports and Recreation Minister Fikile Mbalula - a former youth league president - was addressing a "political class" of youth league members in Durban.
Malema told the Daily News on Sunday that he was unfazed by the youth league's threat.
"Tell them we will be waiting for them," he said.
Parliament had to be adjourned on Thursday after members of the EFF interrupted Zuma while he was replying to a question on the security upgrades to his Nkandla home. They demand-ed he pay back the more than R200 million that had been spent on the upgrades.
Mzobe said the ANC in Parliament should be focused on implementing the mandate of the electorate, but was having to deal with "anarchists" instead.
"We told the ANC to leave the EFF to us now. (The) EFF will not be stopped by the rules of Parliament... You can't have government undermined... There is a mosquito in Parliament," he said.
"We sent (ANC) leadership to Parliament to change the lives of people. The EFF is becoming an unnecessary irritation and the youth league must be the Doom that must destroy that mosquito."
Said Mzobe: "We are talking to the chief whip in Parliament and told him to give us the date for the next sitting. We must be there to defend."
Mzobe said Zuma should ignore those who wanted him to pay for Nkandla, as the issue "was long exhausted".
"The people of South Africa gave a verdict on that issue on the 7th of May (election day). They said comrade Zuma was not guilty. They wanted him to go back to Parliament and lead South Africa."
Zuma did not need to pay for the security upgrades to his home, Mzobe said. "He never asked for a swimming pool. We meet with him every Monday and he spoke about many things, but he never said anything about taking swimming lessons. He is too busy being president, he does not have time to swim," he said, to applause.
Mzobe said government officials who authorised the upgrades should be prosecuted.
He assured delegates attending the league's September 24 elective conference that there "will be no showing of bums", as was the case when Malema's supporters took down their pants when he was elected president in 2008.
Mzobe, however, said the youth league would resist attempts to turn it into a "desk of the ANC".
"The youth league must remain militant. Attempts to make the ANCYL a desk of the ANC is going to kill the existence of the ANCYL. We must let the (ANC) leadership know they must not rest until… the lives of all young people are changed," Mzobe said.
"But militancy is separate from anarchy. Attacking ANC polices is not militancy, it is anarchy," he said. "Anarchy must be dealt with in a manner befitting anarchy."

Rossi leaves Palermo
Veteran coach Delio Rossi has left Palermo for a second time this year.
Rossi has parted company with the club despite taking them to the final of the Coppa Italia, which they lost 3-1 to Inter Milan on Sunday.
Having joined the club in 2009, he lost his job in February following a 7-0 defeat to Udinese, only to return just four weeks later after replacement Serge Cosmi struggled as well.
But despite an eighth-placed finish and their Coppa Italia exploits, the club are looking for a new coach once again.
"President Maurizio Zamparini and coach Delio Rossi met today and considered their positions calmly," the club said in a statement.
"They emphasised mutual respect and both have decided by mutual consent not to continue their employment relationship."

No rent relief during recession
Anyone renting an apartment in the Grand Valley knows rents are high and apartments are rare.
Experts say that's not going to change much, despite the depressed economy.
"I don't think in Grand Junction you are going to see any rents going down," said Gordon Von Stroh, a professor at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. He compiles data for the state to calculate vacancy rates.
"But you are not going to have the tightness you were (experiencing) a year ago," he said.
"The key thing is what about tomorrow? ... I don't see a quick turnaround."
The tightness he speaks of is the availability of apartments for rent, otherwise known as the apartment vacancy rate. The rate is beginning to creep up from the oppressive 2.4 percent where it has hovered for the past year in Grand Junction.
"It is still not a healthy market at 2.4 percent," said Lori Rosendahl, director of operations for the Grand Junction Housing Authority. The authority provides housing assistance to
low-income families.
"I am still not seeing the rents come down to where they were two years ago by any means," Rosendahl said. "As long as the demand is there, and we stay at the vacancy rate we are in, I don't see the rents coming down."
Layoffs, primarily in the local energy sector, but also in construction and other areas, are starting to affect landlords, though not rents.
"A lot of our tenants have been working out in the patches and are not working now, so they are struggling to make ends meet," said Jane Clevinger, a broker for Landmark Real Estate.
Clevinger said she has seen tenants sell off their "toys" — motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and such — just to make rent. She has had to work with tenants to defer rent until they can secure new employment.
Apartments stay on the market much longer, Clevinger said. It used to be common for apartments to be emptied and rented out again in a week.
"Until we get these people back to work somewhere, whether it be in the patches or some different job market, we are going to see a slowdown," she said.
Other rental complexes say they are not seeing any effect from the economy.
"Actually our business really hasn't changed," said the property and maintenance manager of the Northwoods Apartments, 3505 N. 12th Street. He asked that his name not be printed. Most of the tenants of Northwoods are not employed by the energy industry, and that might be why it has low turnover, he said.

HI Kirsty,
Just a note to say thank you again for all the help with our trip. Could you please thank Brian and Ros as well. It was truly a memorable trip for the kids and they have said it was the 'best school trip ever'. The parents were wrapped, I think for a lot of people they don't realise this wonderful opportunity is available so close to home.
Thanks again, enjoy the festive season. will be back in a couple of years when we read the book again with the next lot of kids..

How did you know that ooey, gooey, melted cheese is my absolute favorite. Oh my, when you cut into it and that cheese kinda melts all over -- irresistible. I really like the addition of the sweet and nuts on top. Yummy. Why don't we indulge ourselves more often?? I think I'll make this at our next family gathering. Thank you for the inspiration. Felice Anno Nuovo!! Abbracci!

I love baked brie with preserves and nuts! You've really brought the idea to a delicious new height of deliciousness, Linda. So pretty too. Happy New Year!

- Roz Corieri Paige said...
I haven't had baked brie in far too long! It's so delicious! I am happy to see that you took off the rind because I've always wondered about that; it seems so much easier for guests to dig into the cheese without the rind. I just bought some fig preserves, if you can believe that! Wondering what to serve it on has now been figured out!
Happiest of new years to you in 2016, Linda! Thank you for your continued friendship!

Baked brie—believe it or not, it's something I've yet to try. But I've been meaning to for a long time. Love cheese, love cheese fondue and queso fundido so I figure it would be right up my alley... Thanks for the inspiration. And best wishes for another year of delicious posts in 2016!

Happy New Year, Linda! I have never baked a brie but today I bought one with this intention and now have come across your recipe which sounds wonderful! Thank you! I love you Pandoro Christmas tree...my cousin in Italy makes a similar dessert.

- Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...
Happy New Year, Linda! I am happy to be back online, although I'm taking it in small doses while my vision is slowly improving. My family likes Brie so I always prepare a wheel of it during the holidays. I often use a fig jam on top but I'd love to try your combination one day as it looks extra special.

I had a major surgery 11 months ago to removed a tumor from my pancreas Two months after the surgery, I developed a thick and bulky scar. I went to the doctor and he told me it was a hypertrophic scar. I'm really sad and I feel very frustrated because I've heard that this condition sometimes doesn't respond well to treatment. My scar is approximately 14 cm. long and about 1/2 inch thick. I've been using silicone sheets for almost 8 months now without any luck, any other suggestions? Any advices will be appreciated. Thanks and God Bless You.
Options for Removing a Hypertrophic Scar?
Doctor Answers 6
Removing a hypertrophic scar
What you should understand is that a HYPERTROPHIC SCAR is going to improve. You do not treat this. A KELOIDAL scar, on the other hand is going to remain or get worse so we treat these with topical or intralesional steroids.
If you mistakenly inject a steroid into a hypertrophic scar you may end up with ATROPHY which you don't want.
From what you are describing this is a KELOID and as such should be treated by injections. Don't think silicone sheeting will get through this type of situation.
Find a dermatologist in your area!
Scar hypertrophy
Scar hypertrophy that developed after your pancreas surgery may be treated with steroid injections or even scar revision. Silicone sheeting like you are doing is also a good thing. I would wait another 6 months to see how the scar does. It is still maturing and may flatten and improve in color with time.
Hypertrophic Scar after surgery on the abdomen
It is most likely a scar that is caused by increased tension on the wound. In these cases, the most applicable treatment is scar revision with layered closure to improve tension free healing.

Options for hypertrophic scar
Kenalog (cortisone), 5-Fluorouracil or a combination of the two injected at 4-week intervals as needed may be your best option to reduce the bulkiness of the scar (and any symptoms of itching or discomfort you might be experiencing).
If the scar is red or pink in color, certain vascular lasers can be beneficial (e.g. Pulsed dye laser).
Good luck.
Time and kenolog injection!
With time your scar will get better. Since it has been 11 months, it is ok to start some kenolog injection. This will help flatten the scar and make it less irritant. Best of luck!

Hyperplastic scar should shrink
The difference between a hyperplastic scar and a keloid is that in the former the collagen is laid down properly, ie. in the correct direction and with the needed consistency. However, the signal to turn off production is askue. This results in the scar being piled up too high, above 'skin level."
In a keloid the collagen not only rises above the skin, but the collagen is laid down in thick bands going every which way. The collagen is also more coarse.
A true hyperplastic scar should remold itself and flatten out given time. A keloid will not do this.
Thus, your hyperplastic scar should shrink and leave you with a normal scar. To hasten this process, you could return to your surgeon for steroid injections. I personally start out with 5 mg/cc but will go up to 10 mg/cc.
Freezing at the same time as the injection will ameliorate the pain and in addition help contract the scar. However, freezing in darker skin tones can damage melanocytes ( the cells which make pigment) leaving blanched areas.

A garage fire that spread to the adjacent home sent a pillar of black smoke into the Ramona sky about 8 a.m. Wednesday.
One firefighter was injured and four adults displaced by the blaze, which caused about $80,000 damage to the 1,900- to 2,000-square-foot single-story structure at 828 Pile St., Cal Fire Capt. Mike Mohler said at the scene.
The injured firefighter suffered a minor burn to a hand and was treated at the scene, said Mohler. A Red Cross representative arrived about 11:15 a.m. to assist the two men and two women living in the home. One of the residents was home when the fire started.
Crews from Cal Fire, U.S. Forest Service, and Barona Fire responded to the blaze. Forest service firefighters arrived first after seeing smoke from their station nearby, said USFS Firefighter Cheryl Raines. The fire started in an outbuilding and spread into the garage and then the attic of the home, she said.
Virginia Papazian, who lives next door to the burned structure, heard "explosion after explosion" coming from the garage and said her daughter used a garden hose to spray water on
their home.
Cause of the fire is not suspicious, and Cal Fire is investigating how it started, said Mohler.
It took firefighters about 40 minutes to contain the blaze, and they expected to be on scene until about noon.

Modest Means
The Utah Courts are currently seeing an explosion of cases with pro se litigants. They cannot afford full-priced legal assistance, but do not qualify for pro bono legal services either. Programs and services like public defenders, Utah Legal Services, Legal Aid of Utah, the Disability Law Center, and legal clinics throughout the state admirably provide limited legal representation for the poorest members of our community but, for a large segment of the middle class, obtaining affordable legal services is more difficult. To an increasing segment of society, we are viewed as being out of reach. We also have attorneys who are experiencing a downturn in their practices given the economy, or new lawyers looking to create or expand their practices. The Bar Commission has created a program to match the unmet need of clients and the available time of attorneys. The Utah State Bar Modest Means Program is designed to bridge the gap and match paying clients with attorneys who want to supplement their clientele, but are willing to charge lower fees to these modest means clients. The program will focus on needs most commonly encountered at the courts, including family, landlord/tenant, consumer, and criminal law. We have started taking referrals through the program and are in need of more attorneys, both to work for clients and to advise younger attorneys in need of experienced assistance; please join us at http://www.utahbar.org/modestmeans/
Thank you!

text: I am not sure if this is the right board for this-but looking for advice. I have been in school at a local university since Sept'01. Last year I started their nursing program and left after about one month. The nursing schedule was too overwhelming(hours required/week). Now that my son will be in kindergarden full time this fall, I am ready to go back........but have questions. The school I am looking at(Deaconess St.Louis) offeres two programs. One will leave me with an associates, but looks good because all the classes are online. I will visit the hospital for my clinicals-I do not know how often yet. As for the bachelors, I will go to school 2-3 full time days/week. The school offers a RN to BSN degree which I would do once I get a full time job as an RN! I am looking for advice on which degree would be best(I have 3 children in school, and DH). Also, any ideas on what a "real" salary may be when I get into the RN field.....Another thought I am trying to decide is to possibly get a pt job as a patient care tech.....what kind of pay would that be and would it be worth my time?

Climbing Wall Safety Orientation
We offer classes every Tuesday & Thursday at 6:00pm* during the Fall and Spring Semesters --Call 474-5886 to sign up!
*Orientation starts promptly at these times. Late comers will miss necessary information and therefore will not be qualified to climb at either wall. The class is about an hour-and-a-half long.
Cost is $10 per person. You register and pay before the class takes place. If you need to cancel please do so in advance. Space is limited and classes fill up fast! Individuals must be over the age of 14 to belay at either climbing wall.
Private certification classes can be scheduled by contacting Christian Mogensen (see below). The cost for a private belay certification class is $20 per person.
Reminder that Climbing & Belay Certification cards expire after 1 year! Sign up for an Orientation Class to recert. Bring in your old card to waive the cost of the class.
Sign up is available at the SRC front desk. All classes will be held in the indoor climbing wall.
