Michael Cole, Booker T and Jim Ross are the announcers as Jerry Lawler is still recovering from injuries after being put through a table by Mark Henry. I guess he fought through those injuries when he wrestled Terry Funk last night?
Christian vs. Sheamus
As Christian came to the ring, Miz and R-Truth came to the front row holding tickets through the crowd. Johnny Ace and security tried to throw them out but they said they bought tickets and argued. They were finally forced out of the building. Don't they get to take their PPV chairs with them?
The announcers wondered how they could legally force Miz and Truth out of the building as Sheamus and Christian locked up. Sheamus forced him into a corner and broke clean. Christian went for a waistlock takedown but was elbowed in the face and Sheamus stood over him defiantly.
Sheamus used a side headlock takedown to cover Christian for a two count, then repeated the attempt. Christian forced him into the ropes and Sheamus broke clean. Christian slugged him so Sheamus returned fire. Christian slipped out to the floor, where Sheamus followed and gave chase. As they returned to the ring, Christian slugged him, which only pissed off Sheamus.
Sheamus went for a slam but Christian slipped out and shoved him into the ropes. Sheamus came back with a series of shots across the chest while Christian was outside on the apron. Sheamus slammed him for a two count. Christian kicked off Sheamus after being whipped into the corner. He was caught during a bodypress attempt and nailed with a Fall Away Slam.
Sheamus climbed the ropes but was shoved off to the floor. Christian worked him over on the floor and rolled him back in, nailing a series of rights. He choked Sheamus' throat against the top rope. Sheamus fired back and they went back and forth. Christian nailed a back elbow off the center turnbuckle, then attempted a sleeper. Sheamus sat down into a jawbreaker to escape the hold.
Christian continued beating him down, working him over with punches and stomps. Sheamus began to mount a comeback but was caught with a knee to the gut as he rebounded off the ropes. Christian continued working him over but Sheamus began blocking punches and mounted his own series of moves with knees and other strikes.
Sheamus went for a press slam but Christian slipped out and went for the Killswitch. Christian was fought off but snapped Sheamus over the ropes. Christian was caught with a backbreaker out of an Uranage for a two count. Sheamus called for the High Cross but Christian began nailing a series of strikes and went to the top. Sheamus stopped him and went for a superplex. Christian fought him off and used the ropes to catapult himself into a kick. He followed up with a tornado DDT out of the corner for another near fall.
Sheamus fought back and nailed a running kneelift. Sheamus went to go to the top but Christian stopped him. Sheamus kicked him away and pulled himself up. Sheamus nailed a flying shoulderblock off the top rope. He went for the Brouge Kick but Christian slipped out of the ring. Sheamus followed and they ended up jockeying for position with a suplex to the floor. Sheamus ended up on the floor. Christian went for a sliding kick but was caught and slammed to the floor. Christian came back with a spear on the floor.
Sheamus pulled himself into the ring, where he was speared again but kicked up at the last second, Christian was frustrated that it didn't get the job done. Christian went for a swan dive headbutt but Sheamus rolled out of the ring. Sheamus went for the High Cross but Christian slipped out and went for the Killswitch. Sheamus slipped out but was sent into the corner. Christian charged for a spear but Sheamus moved and Christian hit the ringpost shoulder-first.
Christian staggered into the Brouge Kick and was pinned.
Your winner, Sheamus!
Very good back and forth opener.
Matt Striker tried to interview World champion Mark Henry about being in the Hell in A Cell. He said that he's never been in one, but it's a different time and he's a different champion. He said Randy Orton was going to join the Hall of Pain, whether it was in a back alley or the cell. Good promo.
Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara
For simplicity's sake, I am going to refer to them as Blue and Black.
Each man claimed they were the real Cara at the bell. Black took Blue down to the mat and tied him up while grandstanding, then tied him up in a sideways bow and arrow. Blue slipped out and covered him for a one count. They went back and forth and faced off.
They did some nice Lucha reversals and faced off again. They went into a test of strength with Black getting the better of it. He leapt atop of Blue who flipped him over and then flipped over again, landing on his feet. They exchanged Lucha headscissors and faced off. The story was that they were mirroring each other.
Black caught Blue with several kicks and whipped him into the ropes but was caught with a rana and a Lucha armdrag that sent Black to the floor. Blue hit a tope con hilo over the top to the floor. Blue nailed a sliding kick to the outside. He went for an Asai Moonsault but Black moved out of the way. Black nailed a slingshot senton splash onto Blue for a two count.
Black cinched in a side chinlock and the crowd rallied Blue. Black cut him off and covered him for a two count. Black rammed his head into the buckles and chopped away at Blue. Blue was sent to the apron and knocked off. Black hit a tope over the ropes onto Blue. Black covered Blue for a two count.
Black continued to control Blue and went back to the side chinlock and tagged him with a kick. Blue fought his way out of a waistlock. They went for a dropkick at the same time. The crowd began catcalling them with a "Boring†chant. Blue nailed a headscissor and sent Black to the ground. He hit a dive from the top rope to the floor.
Back in the ring, Black kicked out of several near falls and was caught with a kick. Blue went for a rana but was dropped into a powerbomb for a two count. They battled on the top rope and Blue armdragged Black into the ring. Blue was backdropped over the top to the apron but drilled Black with a kick. Blue missed a swanton but rolled through. Blue caught Black with the Code Red for the pin.
Your winner, Sin Cara (original, blue)
It was a pretty unique match for WWE in that they did a complete Lucha style mixed in with some WWE trademark spots to build crowd sympathy. I thought it was solid but it seemed lost on some of the crowd and they had some timing issues. If this thing takes off when they tape TV in Mexico, that's one thing but they really need to explain this stronger to the audience because the crowd just saw it as two guys in masks doing spots and it didn't resonate.
Backstage, David Otunga asked CM Punk if they can speak. Punk told him no and asked if he had ambulances to go chase. Otunga reminded him of his Harvard education and said he was representing the WWE stars. Punk said he doesn't need representation and has his own voice. Punk said when he wins the WWE title, he won't change his mind. He told Otunga that he hates lawyers and to "vanish.†Otunga walked off.
WWE Tag Team champions Air Boom vs. WWE United States champion Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger (with Vickie Guerrero)
Swagger and Kingston started off and went back and forth. Kofi went for a monkey flip but was slammed down. Kingston came back with an uppercut and tagged into Bourne, setting up a double stomp. Swagger slammed Bourne and tagged Ziggler. Bourne nailed a series of kicks to Zigger's legs and tagged Kingston back in.
Kofi nailed a leaping forearm into the corner off Bourne's back. The champions doubled on Ziggler and Bourne covered him for a two count after a nice dropkick. Swagger tagged in and cut off Bourne, nailing a series of shoulderblocks into the corner a big Beal Throw for a two count. The challengers cut off the ring, tagging in and out as they dominated Bourne.
Kingston tagged in and was cut off so the challengers took turns working him over. The announcers used the match as a backdrop to put over the HHH COO storyline. It was sort of silly for Michael Cole to say the guys speaking out were being penalized when he namedrops Swagger and Zigger and at the same time they are challenging for a TITLE. Yeah, some punishment!
Swagger nailed Bourne off the apron to distract the ref so Ziggler can work over Kingston. The crowd began rallying Kingston who kicks off an ankle lock attempt and catches Swagger with a big DDT. Bourne makes the hot tag. Bourne nails a double knee strike off the ropes on Ziggler who kicked out at the last second. Ziggler goes for the Famouser but Bourne avoids it and hits a standing moonsault for a two count. Swagger grabs an ankle lock but Kingston nails a bodypress on him. Bourne small packages Ziggler for a two count. Ziggler comes out of it with a clothesline.
Zigger picks up Bourne so Swagger can powerbomb him off the top. Bourne turns it into a rana and rolled through with a forward roll for the pin as Kofi pulled Ziggler out of the ring.
Your winners and still WWE Tag Team champions, Air Boom!
Good back and forth tag match.

In a world where financial planning is guided by a standardized process but a lot of leeway about precisely what financial planning recommendations are crafted and implemented, the reality is that two well-intentioned financial planners can come up with remarkably different solutions for clients depending on their views and perspective. Whether it's the active vs. passive debate, or permanent insurance vs. buy-term-and-invest-the-rest, some planners just tackle client problems in a materially different manner than others.
So how can clients find the planner that's right for them, and how can planners ensure they're a good match for their clients? Consider crafting a "financial planning philosophy" document, that explains what you believe when it comes to all things financial planning, so clients understand the perspective of the advisor they're potentially going to work with. The point here is not to craft a politically balanced and sensitivity positioned document, but to help make it clear what your financial planning "deal breakers" are — the things you just don't believe in and won't recommend to your clients, period.
The goal of going down this path is to find people to work with who believe in what you believe — a crucial fundamental first step in having a positive long-term relationship. In fact, using your financial planning philosophy as a screening tool can be effective not only in trying to connect with prospective clients, but also potential affiliated professionals you might work with or refer clients to, advisors you might hire into your practice or work with as a partner, or even to evaluate the prospective fit of a potential successor, buyer or merger of your advisory firm. In the end, it all comes down to shared beliefs, and the easiest way to ensure that your viewpoints are aligned is to state clearly what your financial planning philosophy is in the first place.
Different Ways To Do Planning
While the CFP Board establishes a standard 6-step financial planning process — establish the scope of the relationship, gather data, analyze the situation, craft recommendations, implement the recommendations, and monitor the plan — the guidelines for financial planners leave a great deal of leeway in the key 4th step: crafting recommendations. While certainly the CFP Practice Standards require a fiduciary obligation to deliver planning recommendations in the best interests of the client, in many situations there simply is no clear consensus about what constitutes the "best" recommendation in the first place.
While some situations are relatively clear — for instance, having health insurance is better than skipping it, having an emergency fund is important, and it's crucial to spend less than you make in the long run — the details of many other scenarios have far less agreement and little consensus. Should you pay down the highest interest credit card, or the lowest balance one that may give you the confidence to stick with the strategy? Is it a good idea to seek out investment managers who can deliver value above their benchmark, or just stick with a passive approach? Is it better to buy permanent insurance, or buy term and invest the rest?
Advocates on each side of those questions have some strong opinions about why their conclusion is right and the others are wrong, but the reality is that in today's world either can be done in a reasonably prudent manner on behalf of a client without running afoul of any legal or financial planning standards. Yet the differences are important. Clients that have strong feelings in one direction often cannot be swayed by an advisor who views the matter differently; in fact, even two advisors who work together may struggle and have significant conflict if their views on the issues don't align. Unfortunately, though, most firms and advisors can't even articulate what their philosophy is in the first place!
Documenting Your Firm's Financial Philosophy
The first step to being able to clearly articulate your firm's financial philosophy is to document it. Write it down. For your firm's "What We Believe" philosophy that explains how you view various key questions and issues. Just a few areas that the financial philosophy document might include are:
- Investments: Active or Passive?
- Debt: Something to use or something to avoid?
- Life insurance: Permanent, or buy term and invest the rest?
- Annuities: Does annuitization ever make sense?
- Risk: What does risk really mean in your view?
- Taxes: Follow the intent of the law, or push it as far as the law will allow?
- Wealth creation: Maximizer or satisficer?
In the second part of our post, we'll go over the importance of having an established firm philosophy.

"A liberal education is preparation for a fuller life, not just a vocational expedient. It is the doorway to leading the life of the mind for a lifetime."
Richard Taylor believes strongly that "the health of a free society depends upon an educated populace, one that is open to free inquiry and creative exploration." He also believes that Transylvania's small classes and "genuine culture of learning" promote these ideals. And that's why he finds himself happily engaged with Transylvania students.
As a well-respected author—and a former Kentucky poet laureate—you would think that Taylor has a lot to teach his creative writing students. But Taylor feels that he gets just as much from them. "They constantly teach me new ways of creative expression as I read and discuss their work.
"I'm always reinvigorated by the creativity I see in students. It's not a self-conscious creativity. It's just something that's there and it comes out. And it makes me say, 'I'm really glad I'm doing this; it's an honor to teach these students.'"
Taylor feels that frequently "creative students go straight into a rigorous academic program with very few opportunities to flex their creative muscles." That's not the case at Transylvania. He sees signs of creativity across the campus and among a large number of students. Some students participate in organized activities, perhaps with the theater, music, or art departments. Others find their own vehicles for creative expression, completely outside campus institutions.
For example, Taylor mentions several students who have independently participated in online novel-writing programs, where the participants are required to write thousands of words a month toward their work-in-progress. These students demonstrate an irrepressible creativity that the rigors of their academic schedules can't stifle. Other students stop by his office on their own, outside of any classroom requirement, seeking advice about some verse or piece of fiction they're working on.
"Who would turn down that type of initiative among our students? Meeting students like that is incredibly encouraging, and it speaks very well of Transylvania. If it were just one or two students, it would be an anomaly. But it's a pattern among many of our students."
Taylor finds this very promising. "For years and years education in general has neglected the creative wellspring that is a part of the human mind. So I'm glad to see we're putting more emphasis on that. And certainly professors Martha Gehringer and Maurice Manning and others on our campus are eliciting that from our students and giving them creative opportunities. It's something we can claim some institutional distinction for doing.
"I work a lot with incoming students. I always ask 'How do you like Transylvania?' They all say the same thing: 'I just love Transylvania, Dr. Taylor, I just love it.' I think Transylvania students feel empowered and feel comfortable. They see themselves as part of a genuine learning community. I've been on a number of campuses, and it ain't always so."

Easy Install
Installing or upgrading in 'host auth' mode
In most installations, Citadel does not use your host system's user database (such as "/etc/passwd"). It functions as a "black box" separate from your operating system, keeping its own user database. This is almost always the desired configuration, because you typically do not want email users logging on to your host system.
However, Citadel does support a special authentication mode in which logins are authenticated against your host system's user database using the PAM Api. We call this "host auth" mode (formerly known as "autologin" mode). This used to be a compile-time option, but now it is a setup time option. You can read the manpage for details, or this chkpw use demonstration
This is especially important if you are upgrading an existing system that authenticates users in this manner: when setup asks you if you want host auth mode, you must answer Yes. Otherwise your users will not be able to log in!
One additional note: "mixed mode" authentication, which refers to support for authentication of users either from the host system or from Citadel's user database on the same system, is no longer supported.

You begin with a list of accomplishments. There are many. Maybe you've skied at an elevation over 12,000 feet. Or you've scuba dived past 135 feet. You've completed your master's, had kids, driven a race car. You've ridden a bull, or run with the bulls, or you're just really good at shooting the bull. You've caught big fish, given up smoking, made the perfect pie crust/Bolognese/pulled pork. You volunteer. You've kept your sense of humor after losing everything else. You're reliable. Most of the people in the room like you most of the time. Friends still ask your advice. Sometimes, your children don't think you're a dope. Your spouse usually does but loves you anyway. You make a pile of money. Or you make just enough. Or you make every meal of every day of every year.
You look at the list and think, I'm no freeloader. I know all the verses to the national anthem, "Amazing Grace," "Blinded by the Light," and "The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Now on top of all that, I have to wake up every morning and run?
I tie my green-stained sneakers and pull on my jacket and slip on a hat, thinking, Doesn't anything on this list take the place of running? Is there any way I can get out of having to do this for the rest of my life? If I donate blood on a regular basis, can I stop? Bone marrow and I'm kind to strangers and I finish all my vegetables, then can I please stop doing this? Because I really don't know if it's working for me.
I recognize that I'm at a difficult juncture. Six weeks into a routine, running is not completely new, so I no longer have the momentum of novelty to keep me going. But I'm not experienced enough to have developed an ounce of stamina either. That leaves me stuck in a task that is both familiar and excruciating--the word that comes to mind is toil. Running is a great idea that sounds good on paper and looks good on other people, but for me is just too hard. After a good, authentic attempt, if it's gotten any easier, it's only by the smallest margin--it's gone from nearly impossible to grueling to extremely tough. I've tried to be positive about it. Friends ask how it's going, and I say, "Extremely tough! But hey?it used to be grueling!" Probably even the most out-of-shape person has the ability to run to the point of exhaustion given the right circumstances--a truck with a mad killer behind the wheel chasing after them, for instance. But the idea of entering into this level of flight-for-your-life exhaustion on a daily basis for the rest of my life seems more than just impossible. It seems absurd.
I momentarily block out all negative thoughts (read: reality) and step outside. Denial plays a big part in getting me out, no matter how cheap or flimsy. I'm totally lovin' this! It's like lifting a heavy weight and then quickly dropping it.
I hit the road and begin panting. My legs fill with tremendous pressure after a few hundred yards. Everyone knows I've started doing this. I had wanted to keep it a secret in case it was a colossal failure--something my friends could razz me about later, as in, "Hey remember that month when you were all 'runner-man'?" Then we could laugh and tip back beers, and I could say something like, "Yeah, but I only did it for the tights." And they could carry on about how red my face got and how I ate like a horse and complained of shinsplints. When I returned to my senses (and the couch and TV) we could all make fun of this temporary insanity, but with the current experiment underway and the results yet unknown, I carried an elephant into every room I entered. An overweight, forty-something person making his first attempt at getting into shape is subject to the same furtive glances and muttered asides as if he'd been diagnosed with a major illness. Friend one says, "Have you seen him?" Friend two says, "Yeah, what's wrong with the guy?" Friend one: "He's started running." Friend two, in shock: "Oh, no!" They both look grave and shake their heads.
By the half-mile mark, I'm thinking about peanut butter. I really do love peanut butter. Like most people who love peanut butter, I think I love it more than usual--more than anyone else. I'm probably supposed to be thinking about Olympic athletes or soaring eagles or Journey songs, but thinking about peanut butter is enough of a distraction from what has become a predictable parade of painful discomforts. I'm pretty sure the muscles in my legs have turned into something like peanut butter. I can barely move them. Who says you lose weight when you exercise? I've never felt heavier.
I once lived with a runner who would bounce into the apartment all covered in sweat just as I was pouring the water into the coffeemaker. Good run! he'd cheer. Now that I'm doing it myself, I've confirmed my long-held suspicion that the idea of a "good run" is as improbable as the idea of a "good beating." I can't imagine this will ever feel good. It feels good after you've stopped, I've been told. You reach the point where it feels good later in the day. But once you've been hit in the face, you can easily relish how good it feels not to be hit in the face. With my jaw swaying open and my arms flopping at my sides, I'm convinced the "good run" is a conspiracy and all runners are liars. You can hop-scotch with Big Foot as soon as have a good run. Do sit-ups with Roswell aliens, text your mermaid friends in Atlantis, and then go out and have a good run.
By this time I am walking. No mile today. At least I got out. I begin to think of an exit strategy--something like hips or ankles. Knees are good. Everyone will understand if I say I loved running but just couldn't take it on the old knees. That will sound better than saying, I loved running but just couldn't take it on the old, whole entire damn body. I loved running but had to stop because it made me really tired.
By the time I reach the house, I'm thinking about other runners again--the ripped, muscular kind. The beautiful kind. Men and women who look as though they were designed by God to run--who look younger and more full of life than I did as a ninth grader. And it occurs to me, if I'm nearly genetically identical to a chimp, how far removed can I be from these people? If they can run far and fast and easily, I must be able to somehow do the same. I'm not trying to fly like the birds after all. As impossible as this feels, it's something I should be able to do. I read once that our DNA is not ordered in a way so radically different from a fruit fly. If that's true, then I should be able to point out the most outstanding, incredible runners I can find and honestly say, I'm one of them.
I'm one of them. Easy to say, but only true if I hit this road again tomorrow.
Previously, Marc Parent gets out the door again after his first run sidelined him for two weeks.

Pigeons and mole rats are some of the stars of his stories. To a nation of toddlers, they are heroes.
Children's author Mo Willems has written more than 40 books, and he's at it again.
Willems, who started as a writer and animator on "Sesame Street," draws animals who aren't usually associated with starring roles. He depicts deep desires that he says all children -- and adults -- share.
In "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" a bird pleads with readers to let him steer when a bus driver takes a break. His latest star is a fat goose in a story called "That is Not a Good Idea!" which also features a fox and a big bowl of soup.
Willems is a novelty in his industry because he illustrates most of the stories he writes. Many of his books are fixtures on the shelves of children ages 5 and under. His name appears often on New York Times best-seller lists of children's picture books.
Young readers might also be familiar with the misadventures of Knuffle Bunny, a stuffed animal who is loved and lost in a series of books. Like all of Willems' protagonists, the bunny is easy for young fans to draw. Willems, who lives in Massachusetts, welcomes his fans' attempts to doodle their own versions of his characters.
He told CNN how he creates classic children's tales from a garden of ideas, and encourages copyright infringement from his young fans. Below is an edited transcript.
CNN: How did you come up with the notion that every 2-year-old wants to drive a bus?
Willems: If you had an opportunity to drive a bus, would you do that? I mean, it's primal. It's absolutely primal. Have you ever walked by a bus and the bus driver isn't in it? I mean you really have to pull all of your power not to just jump in. We don't go, because we know we're going to get arrested, or we'll be late for work, and it'll be bad on our credit score. But if all that stuff disappeared, and you walked by a running bus without a driver in it, you would get in that bus.
CNN: Have you seen some of your fans drawing the pigeon?
Willems: Oh yes. Absolutely. I love it. I get a box every month filled with (letters from) kids infringing on my copyright. It is a legalistic nightmare, and a complete joy. And I post on my blog my favorites. But I just love it. I started out drawing Charlie Brown and Snoopy. And then I would have my own characters interacting with them. When I start seeing kids draw their characters interacting with the pigeon, you see that the creative crutch is going away, and that they're really becoming authors. For me, it's so important to doodle and draw. In my house, every night at dinner we have a big piece of paper that we put on our dining room table as our tablecloth and we doodle. I fear that grownups just don't doodle anymore. There is a day in everybody's life when they realize that they're not going to be a professional basketball player and they're not going to be a professional cartoonist. It's usually the same week. But people keep playing basketball. And they stop drawing. And I just think that that's such a waste.
CNN: What inspires you?
Willems: I'm very lucky to write for children, because I don't have to deal with popular culture. I can just deal with core fundamental issues: jealousy, love, hatred, sadness, joy, wanting to drive a bus. The fundamental core emotional things. And just asking questions like, 'How do you know when you're in control? What is a friend? What are relationships between people?' These are all things that I haven't figured out yet. I'm very lucky in that I don't understand the world yet. If I understood the world, it would be harder for me to write these books.
CNN: How do you create a timeless tale?
Willems: That's a tough question. Besides dumb luck, I'm not sure. I do have a couple of rules that I place for myself in my books. The first is a mantra, which is: Always think of your audience, but never think for your audience. What that means is to leave it open to interpretation. I'm not telling things, I'm asking questions. And I'm asking questions that I don't necessarily have the answers to. The other formal thing that I do is that I make sure that the characters in my books -- in this ('That Is Not a Good Idea!') case, the chicks in particular -- are characters that a 4- or a 5-year-old can draw: infringe on my copyright with great ease. So a lot of my design work is reductive. I make drawings, then I try to take as many lines out, so that it's at its easiest to copy.
CNN: Which comes first: the characters or the ideas?
Willems: It all depends. A lot of people think of ideas as objects, or animals that you hunt. You go into the woods, you find an idea, you capture it and you bring it home. And ideas really are more like gardens. And every day, you're planting lots and lots of ideas. Some of them get eaten by birds, and never go anywhere. Some of them grow up to be really horrible things. Some wither and die. Every now and then, over time, some idea grows up to be big and beautiful and filled with fruit. You can cut that down and burn it for profit. So it's an evolution.
CNN: What was the inspiration for your latest book?
Willems: I think this one is about the question of: 'What is control?' And also about pacing, and suspense, and being helpless. In 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!' you yell 'No!' and you change the situation. The pigeon doesn't get to drive the bus because you yelled no. In this, you're yelling, 'That's not a good idea!' but it's still going to happen. You're seeing that truck wreck about to occur. It's about trying to change the world, and maybe not being able to. I don't know. I don't know what it's about. And you know what? Frankly, it's not my job. My job is to make the book. You guys figure out the meaning. Come back to me, you tell me what it's about.
CNN: What made you want to transition from television into writing children's books?
Willems: Books have a lot more space for the individual. I'm very interested in things like failure, which most television executives don't think is a theme that they want to have. And just on a technical level, my books can be small. They can be long. They can be tall. A television is always the same size. I can be much more individual.
"That is Not a Good Idea!" is released April 23.

Celebrities With Bowl Haircuts
Witness the History of the Bowl Cut
Witness the History of the Bowl Cut
Last year, we talked about the possibility of the bowl cut making a return, and guess what? Lots of celebrities have been sporting their own version of the old-school style over the past few months. But the new version of the bowl cut isn't of The Three Stooges ilk. The newer adaptations range from stylized pixies to hipster-esque mullets to rounded wedge cuts or bobs. Find out what I mean about this blunt-banged look now.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which a bone (vertebra) in the spine slips out of the proper position onto the bone below it.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In children, spondylolisthesis usually occurs between the fifth bone in the lower back (lumbar vertebra) and the first bone in the sacrum (pelvis) area. It is often due to a birth defect in that area of the spine or sudden injury (acute trauma).
In adults, the most common cause is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones (such as
Bone disease and fractures can also causespondylolisthesis.Certain sport activities -- such as gymnastics, weight lifting, and football -- put a great deal of stress on the bones in the lower back. They also require that the athlete constantly overstretch (hyperextend) the spine. This can lead to a stress fracture on one or both sides of the vertebra. A stress fracture can cause a spinal bone to become weak and shift out of place.
Spondylolisthesis may vary from mild to severe. A person with spondylolisthesis may have no symptoms.
The condition can produce increased
Symptoms may include:
- Lower back pain
- Muscle tightness (tight hamstring muscle)
- Pain, numbness, or tinglingin the thighs and buttocks
- Stiffness
- Tenderness in the area of the slipped disc
- Weakness in the legs
Signs and tests
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and feel your spine. You will be asked to raise your leg straight out in front of you. Thismay be uncomfortable or painful.
Treatment depends on how severe the slippage is. Most patients get better with exercises to stretch and strengthen lower back muscles.
If the slippage is not severe, you can play most sports if there is no pain. Most of the time, you canresume activities slowly.
You may be asked to avoid contact sports or to change activities to protect your back from being overextended.
You will have follow-up x-rays to make sure the problem is not getting worse.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend:
- Back brace to limit spine movement
- Pain medicine
- Physical therapy
Surgery may be needed to fuse the slipped vertebrae if you have:
- Severe painthat does not get better with treatment
- A severe slip of a spine bone
- Weakness of muscles in one or both of your legs
There is a chance of nerve injury with such surgery.However, the results can be very successful.
Expectations (prognosis)
Exercises and changes in activityare helpful for most people with mild spondylolisthesis.
If too much slippage occurs, the bones may begin to press on nerves. Surgery may be necessary to correct the condition.
Other complications may include:
Chronic back pain
- Infection
- Temporary or permanent damage of spinal nerve roots, which may cause sensation changes, weakness, or paralysis of the legs
Calling your health care provider
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- The back appears to curve a lot
- You haveback pain or stiffness that does not go away
- You have pain in the thighs and buttocks that does not go away
- You have numbness and weakness in legs

What is it?
The contemporary Porsche lineup ranks slightly below the Turkmen tax code and the rebuild instructions for a Dell'Orto carburetoramong maddeningly complex foreign things. To wit: the four-wheel-drive 911, the Carrera 4. The next iteration of the new 991-generation 911 is available in Carrera 4 and more powerful Carrera 4S versions. As with the two-wheel-drive versions, the Carrera uses a 3.4-liter engine, the Carrera S employs a 3.8-liter version of the same flat-six engine, and there are convertible versions of the pair. There will be a pop quiz on this. Open-book answers will not be allowed.
Autoweek recently sampled both the coupe and convertible versions of the 4 and 4S in scenic Graz, Austria—the hometown of a Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger. It rained for our entire stay. Being a seasoned convertible veteran, I knew that you're nothing if you don't drive in the wet with the top down—and with the sure-footedness of Porsche's all-wheel-drive system and Porsche Traction Management (PTM), no force of nature could stop the Porsche's own force of nature. You know what? Maybe things aren't so complicated at all.
What's it like to drive?
Embracing the Austro-German region's love of kitsch, we drove the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum, which is located in a mustard-colored two-story house on the outskirts of the industrial city of Graz. It's his childhood home, see, from whence he came to take the bodybuilding world by storm, marry a Kennedy, rule the eighth-largest economy in the world, and star in Kindergarten Cop—arguably his finest 98 minutes. (It's for sale on DVD here, with Junior on the same disc!) Presumably the bronze statue of him flexing in his '70s Venice Beach days didn't exist when he was a toddler.
"I'm gonna come with you just to tell you how uncool you are," said Andrew, a British chap who followed in a coupe while I and a Canadian journalist drove in the convertible—with the top down.
"Two dudes?" I replied. "In a 911 Cabrio? Top down in the rain? Going to the Schwarzenegger museum? We are the epitome of cool, my friend."
The 911 Carrera 4 that we drove there, raindrops sailing over our heads, uses an all-wheel-drive system based on that of the outgoing 911 Turbo. Power can be diverted to each rear wheel individually or almost entirely to the front wheels via PTM—"though this is quite an academic value," said an increasingly terse German engineer. This is the part where you'd expect us to say that it grips like Arnold. Well, no—that would be too easy a metaphor. But it holds the road like a champ, offering superb feedback and agility with seamless power delivery. According to Porsche, the AWD system only adds 110 pounds to the weight of the car, a fair trade for its impact on acceleration and roadholding. Launch Control, we are happy to report, works as well as it does on any other Porsche, and it's extremely easy to use.
New for 2013 is a rev-matching system, available on seven-speed manual cars with the Sport Chrono package. Press the Sport Plus button and when you downshift, the 911 will blip the throttle (a technical term: We asked the engineers, and they agreed) to match revs. You'll enjoy a boomier exhaust note, coming from way back there somewhere. Similar to the system Nissan employs in the 370Z, it enabled us to nail perfect shifts, every time.
Convertible top or coupe, power remains the same for Carrera and Carrera S models: 350 hp for the smaller Carrera engine, 400 hp for the "big-block."
Do I want it?
If you're in Schwarzenegger's adopted state of California, then no. Unless you really enjoy the subtly widened hips and the jet-age rear reflector strip, and paying $8,930 more for those features. (Moving up to the 4S costs a whopping $14,600 more, highway robbery for 50 hp.)
"Why would the Carrera 4 exist?" asked one journalist during Porsche's product presentation, "if the two-wheel-drive model already grips and handles so well?"
Because globally, the Carrera 4 and its zootier 4S sibling comprise at least 34 percent of all 911s sold. Of course, in snowy European climes like Austria and Switzerland, the breathless Germans told us that AWD 911s account for more than half of all 911s sold. And the Turbo model, of course, needs an AWD system to put down its screaming Teutonic firepower. If anything, the Carrera 4 and 4S are sedate testbeds for that system.
It also seems perfect for a drive through a wet Austrian autumn to pay tribute to the Schwarzenegger himself. He does own a Porsche, but we didn't see it parked at the museum. We didn't see anyone parked at the museum, for that matter. His car? A 911 Turbo Cabriolet—with a very necessary AWD system, of course. We say he's earned it.

More Information
Boaz Vaadia is a New York based and internationally known sculptor who works primarily in stone and bronze. His work is sited in various public locations and included in many museums and private collections throughout the world.
For full Resume and much more information about the artist, please visit his web site, http://www.vaadia.com
For this mini-retrospective, the artist has assembled a cast of characters - three life-size tableaux and more than ten maquettes on pedestals - evoking both a puppet-maker's workshop and an Egyptian tomb. In Asaf & Yo'ah (2001), two figures seem to rest against a boulder atop a circle of chipped rocks. Posed as if for a photograph, yet faceless, they simultaneously appear to be earthly beings and universal symbols of humanity. Nearby, two smaller works on pedestals - Yig'al & Amaya (1999) and Ge'w'el & Binyamin (2002) - present variations on this idea. Despite their apparent stony stoicism, they have a quirky, humorous appeal: their rounded forms and lack of distinct features recall the anonymous figures on bathroom or street signs.
For Vaadia, stone is an enduring aspect of human environments. He collected slate from the streets of New York's Soho when its sidewalks were torn apart in the mid-1980's. More recently, his boulders have come from construction sites in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where he has a studio. It is not surprising that his statues seem equally at home in urban and natural settings.
The art-historical allusions in Vaadia's work extend from statues if Egyptian pharaohs to the work of Henry Moore. A recent small bust f a woman's face conjures up the massive heads found on Easter Island, but it also bears an uncanny resemblance to sculptures produced by 3D CAD software. It is Vaadia's strength that his sophisticated workmanship forms a bridge from the Stone Age to the digital age.

Recent Review: ARTNews (written by Barbara Pollack)
Boaz Vaadia creates figures in stone that appear simultaneously ancient and futuristic. His process requires precision and patience; the sculptor chisels sheets of stratified slate, a highly fragile material, then stacks these shaped slabs into figurative forms. The final product, an accumulation of hundreds of stony strata balanced on top of one another, is secured by a system of metal armature and adhesives hidden from view. Often Vaadia later casts the sculptures in bronze editions, preserving the raw quality of the originals.

Here is an excerpt of an article recently published in a New Zealand magazine:
Yachting New Zealand boardsailing coach Dave Robertson has declared kitesurfing ready for Rio, insisting criticisms of the fledgling Olympic class are ignorant talk.
Robertson has returned after New Zealand's first official dabble into the new Olympic sport, at the kiteracing world championships in Italy.
He was one of five Kiwis competing, finishing ninth in the 153-strong men's fleet in what was a highly useful reconnaissance mission. Justina Sellers was 10th in the women's fleet.
He clearly expressed his desire for a move to kitesurfing, however, despite all its criticism.
"That was a whole lot of ignorant talk by ignorant people, and it was disappointing," he said.
"When the decision was made, suddenly there were a whole lot of kitesurfing experts even though they had never witnessed it or tried it themselves. It was absurd."
"All that talk that was going around in the beginning has been proved wrong, this is a sport that does work and it works really well. It proved itself at the world championships."
Two of the main concerns when kitesurfing was initially included was that fleet racing would be too dangerous, and they would be hopeless in light winds.
Robertson said both of those proved to be totally unfounded in Italy.
"One the first day we had between 6-9 knots and there we were, blasting around at twice the wind speed happy as. It worked," he said.
"It will add a lot to sailing at the Olympics and it will be great for New Zealanders, too. There are a lot of people who kitesurf now and there is an opportunity for us to get a jump and get to the top before the next Olympics."
He said they had done all they could to familiarise themselves with the sport in the five months since its inclusion, and they would just have to "sit tight" for next month's vote.
"We know a lot about kitesurfing now and should it be given the go-ahead, we're ready."

This is a quick drawing I did for Rades. It's so wrong that it just might be right. The character of course belongs to him, I just borrowed her briefly.
I pretty much just slapped the colour on there, so forgive it for being a bit rough, and likewise the background was a late addition. Drawing things cute that were never meant to be cute is kind of fun.

Dell is selling a laptop (Studio 15) where the options for screen resolution are 720p, 900p, and 1080p. What do they mean?
I've found a Wikipedia entry that lists the old confusing (UXGA, WUXGA, &c) names and seems to indicate that 1080p might be 1920x1080. It has no information on 900p or 720p.
Really, it was bad enough with the WUXGA style descriptions. I think vendors should tell you what they're selling. If you know what the screen resolutions are, I'd appreciate hearing it here.

Japan has increased security around a group of disputed islands it nationalized one year ago Wednesday amid strong protests from China, which also claims them and has been stepping up patrols of its own.
Tokyo and Beijing are at odds over the uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyutai in Chinese.
Wednesday marks the first anniversary of Japan's purchase of several of the islands from their private owners — a sale China says was invalid. Both countries have since regularly sent coast guard vessels and aircraft to the area to assert their competing claims.
Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said surveillance had been increased in the area for the anniversary, but did provide details. No incidents were reported as of early Wednesday afternoon.
The standoff, which shows no sign of abating, has deeply damaged diplomatic relations between the two Asian powers and heightened concerns of a possible military clash.
Japan lodged a protest after eight Chinese vessels on Tuesday briefly entered waters Tokyo claims near the islands. On Monday, Japanese fighter jets were scrambled when a Chinese military aircraft believed to be a drone was spotted. Though the drone remained in international airspace, Japanese officials expressed concern about the increased activity.
So far, Tokyo and Beijing have been careful to calibrate their actions to avoid a direct military conflict.
But with neither side backing down or wanting to look weak, the dispute continues to simmer. In a statement that appeared to up the ante, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Tuesday that Tokyo considered deploying personnel to the islands an option.
No one currently lives on the islands, and China immediately slammed the remarks as provocative.
"If they do provoke, they must be prepared to take the consequences," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Tuesday in Beijing.
Stationing public servants on the islands was a campaign promise made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's hawkish ruling party, which is also pushing to give Japan's military a more assertive role in international peacekeeping and in stepping up territorial defenses.
The islands, also claimed by Taiwan, are about 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) southwest of Tokyo.
Japan' coast guard said there have been more than 200 intrusions by foreign vessels into Japanese-claimed waters near the islands in the past year.

A University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health study into the skin absorption rates of contaminants in public drinking water found that the skin absorbed an average of 64% of the total contaminant dosage. Another study found the face to be 2-6x more permeable than broad body surfaces, and underarms and genitalia to be even more permeable.
They recommended a 100% absorption estimate for the later areas (Kasting, 2005). Studies also show the absorption varies depending on the compound. For instance, caffeine is absorbed through the skin at 48% while DDT is absorbed at 10%. For fragrance ingredients, a commonly used approach is to assume 100% absorption (Robinson et al, 2000).
Regardless of the actual percentages, it is quite clear that a lot of what we apply on our skin ends up in our bodies. So it makes good sense for us to pay attention to the ingredients that are in our skin care products. Choosing natural and organic ingredients immediately cuts out a lot of preservatives, fragrances and color compounds that are suspect to be harmful to us. While not all naturally derived ingredients are good for us, you can be assured that with a certified natural or organic product, extra effort has been taken in the interest of health and cost-saving short cuts avoided.

I literally spent the last 2 hours trying to find the solution, but couldn't. There are solutions for Windows, but no Mac. I basically installed DiRT 2 on my macbook pro, but already had some progress on iMac, which I would like to transfer to the new set up.
Is it possible? If so, how?

* Xstrata shareholders back deal, reject retention package
* Glencore shareholders back deal, 99.4 percent in favour
* Xstrata, combined group chairman Bond resigns
By Clara Ferreira-Marques and Emma Farge
LONDON/ZUG, Switzerland, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Shareholders in Xstrata prompted the resignation of the miner's chairman on Tuesday as they voted through a $31 billion takeover by trader Glencore but twice snubbed a controversial pay plan to retain key managers.
Xstrata Chairman John Bond, formerly chairman of HSBC and Vodafone, would have been chairman of the new Glencore Xstrata.
Bond had been under fire for months over a 140 million pound ($223 million) "golden handcuffs" package for managers the Xstrata board said were key to operations, and over what some investors felt was an insufficient fight for better terms from Glencore, Xstrata's top shareholder.
It took an unprecedented, activist stance from the Gulf state of Qatar, an unexpected kingmaker and second-largest shareholder in Xstrata, to force Glencore to improve the offer - just hours before a September shareholder vote, later cancelled.
At the shareholder meeting in the lakeside Swiss town of Zug
activist investor Knight Vinke, also a top 25 Xstrata shareholder, accused the board of "governance failings" and said it had no confidence in its independence and robustness.
Bond defended both the board and the retention plan.
"Right now, there is $20 billion of your money invested in 20 projects and extensions," he told investors gathered for the votes. "It is the Xstrata management team that is responsible for making sure these investments are made safely, soundly and profitably."
But hours later he resigned, citing shareholder votes that had opposed every one of the Xstrata board's recommendations.
"He's fallen on his sword," analyst Paul Gait at brokerage Bernstein said. "The Qataris basically took the running of the merger process out of his hands - and then there was essentially a vote of non-confidence passed by the shareholders in the company regarding his recommendations.
"How his position could ever have been tenable after that is beyond me."
Following an overwhelming vote in favour from Glencore's shareholders, almost 79 percent of Xstrata's voting shareholders gave their support to the takeover - but without the pay deal.
Qatar had said it would back the main resolutions on Glencore but would abstain on the retention, making it likely that vote would fail.
In the event, 78.4 percent of those voting cast their votes against pay awards described by Knight Vinke as "egregious".
Glencore was not able to vote its shares on Tuesday.
At least one Xstrata shareholder, top 10 investor Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, said the miner would still have to manage "retention risk" as it executes on a pipeline of projects, cautioning an unapproved arrangement could "offer less transparency and accountability to shareholders".
Tuesday's complex series of votes, taking over more than two hours, brought one of the sector's biggest ever deals closer to the finish line, with only antitrust clearance remaining. Xstrata board members, visibly relieved, exchanged handshakes and pats on the back as the voting ended.
A verdict from the European Union, the toughest of the remaining hurdles, is due later this week. Glencore has already offered concessions in its zinc operations to avoid a lengthier probe.
Approval from Brussels will all but secure a deal, ending years of on-off merger talks between Xstrata and its largest shareholder and more than nine months of often tense negotiations to create what both sides hope will be a mining and trading powerhouse.
The tie-up, on the cards after Glencore listed last year, looks set to become the largest deal in the sector since Rio Tinto's acquisition of Alcan in 2007.
Shares in the two sides were trading on Tuesday at prices implying a ratio of 2.97, moving towards Glencore's offer of 3.05 new shares for every Xstrata share held.
"It's like a marriage. People are afraid when the moment comes but it's good in the long term," asset manager Thomas Mitsoulis, whose clients own Xstrata shares, said in Zug.
"Shareholders want more and in the long term the merger will mean more cash and more dividends."
Analysts and industry advisers have already begun focusing on the next steps for a group that, with its spread of assets from mines, to oil wells to farms and more ships than Britain's Royal Navy, is expected to be a deal machine in frugal times.
Xstrata's own growth over the last decade has been fuelled by deals and it was set up with a $2.5 billion acquisition of Glencore coal assets. Glencore, for its part, joined the stock market last year with the intention of funding larger deals, including the bid for control of Xstrata.
"These companies have looked at doing significant acquisitions over the last year - the question is whether they buck the trend and provide more buoyancy in the industry," Alexander Keepin, partner and co-head of mining at law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner said.
Glencore and Xstrata have already proved a bright spot for the nine banks, law firms and countless other advisers, who will share a fee pot worth some $200 million.
Depending on the combined group's final weighting, Glencore Xstrata could be the 13th largest company in Britain's FTSE 100 , representing more than 2 percent of the index.
It could also sell some non-core assets - not least Xstrata's chrome and platinum, analysts say, and revise Xstrata's portfolio of mining projects, some of which are ambitious greenfield mines that Glencore does not prioritise.

2011-2017 Demographic Data Available
We have Estimates for each of the years 2011 through the current year. We have packaged together the years 2011-2015. They are all in the same 2010 boundaries. If you want the historic current year estimates (2001-2009) please click here. We also sell Estimates with 5-year Projections (for example 2015/2020) instead of multiple single years. Please you the sidebar to select Basic, Professional or Premium Estimates. For researchers who want to look at the annual trends we have special pricing for multi-year packages.
Like our current estimates and 5-year projections Annual Estimates are offered as three different versions giving you more and more data.
Annual Estimates 2011-2017 (basic) has our reliable demographics, including variables such total population, population change, total households, race, age, gender, household income, owners, vs. renters, and more.
Annual Estimates Professional 2011-2017 has even more data than our basic Annual Estimates. This product includes all the variables on the standard product, and also expands on them to look at complete break-outs of sex by age by race, household types and household size, median incomes by race, and consumer expenditures, as well as school enrollment for population 3+ in public vs. private schools by the level of education and by sex, as well as educational attainment for population 25+ also broken out by sex.
Annual Estimates Premium 2011-2017 has the most data and even has new geographies added as well. This product includes all the variables on the standard product and the Professional version, and also expands on them to look at poverty, employment, family income and indicators of poverty (no car, not phone, etc).
New geographies are available in the latest edition of the Annual Estimates Premium - now we also include Towns (County Subdivisions), Cities (Places), and MSAs.
Each product has GeoLytics' built-in map viewer that lets you create thematic maps of your variables, as well as quickly and easily export data and geographic boundaries. All three products have their data available in the following geographies: nation, states, counties, tracts, block groups, and zip codes. You can also run a radius around a latitude/longitude point.

We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting their faces for their favorite golfer.
We asked a gaggle of writers, from the Web, from print, from books, even a TV guy or two, to tell us, in as many or as little words as they need, why My Team Is Better Than Your Team. This is not meant to be factual, or dispassionate, or even logical: We just asked them to riff on why they love their team so much, or what their team means to them, or whatever. We will be running two a day until the beginning of the NFL season.
Right now: the Detroit Lions. Your author is Michael David Smith.
Michael David Smith is an editor at Football Outsiders. His words are after the jump.
Here's why the Lions are better than your team.
1. Matt Millen is a genius.
For a long time I thought Millen, the Lions' team president, was an idiot. After all, this is a guy who took over a 9-7 team after the 2000 season and has promptly led them to a 21-59 record in five seasons. And as much as the Lions have embarrassed the city of Detroit on the field, Millen has been as much of an embarrassment off the field: He is the only team executive the league has disciplined for violating its policy on diversity (a $250,000 fine for giving Steve Mariucci the head-coaching job without interviewing any minorities), and he is the only team executive who has entered an opposing locker room after a game to blast a player with a homophobic slur (he twice called Kansas City's Johnnie Morton a "faggot" after the Lions lost to the Chiefs.)
But then it dawned on me: Millen still has his job. And not only does he have his job, but he has a guaranteed five-year contract extension, and he was recently placed on the competition committee, making him one of the league's most influential executives. There's no way I could match that record of incompetence and still be employed, let alone promoted. Could you? Clearly Millen understands something that we don't. Some day, MBA students will study the Millen era to learn how one brilliant man kept his job even as everything he touched turned to shit.
2. Our first-round pick wears a special helmet.
Ernie Sims, the rookie linebacker out of Florida State, suffered five concussions in college, causing some teams to remove him from their draft boards. But no problem, said the Lions. They took him with the ninth overall pick and have fitted him with a specially designed helmet, the better to protect his brain with. Jerry Seinfeld once observed that the invention of the helmet is proof that the human being is stupid: We invented the helmet because we were participating in activities that were cracking our heads; instead of avoiding these activities we made little plastic hats so that we could continue our head-cracking lifestyles.
The Lions have taken it one step further with Sims: When the little plastic hat doesn't work, Sims still won't avoid the activity; he'll just get a different plastic hat that he hopes works better. The special Revolution Helmet (http://www.riddell.com/RevFacts.htm) he'll be wearing sure sounds impressive: "The new Revolution helmet includes innovative features specifically designed to help reduce the risk of concussion. The Tru-CurveT protective shell extends to the jaw area and has been computer designed around the head's center of gravity to offer superior front-to-back fit and stability. The new Z-pad design provides protection to the side of the head and the jaw - helping to lessen the energy of impact on these areas if a collision occurs. The patented VSR Air-FitTSystem features padding that can inflate to offer a custom fit to every player's head shape."
What I'm most curious about is this: If there's a special helmet out there that prevents concussions, why do players wait until after their fifth concussion to start wearing it?
3. You want depth at wide receiver? I'll show you depth at wide receiver.
On most teams, when you draft a guy in the Top 10, you know he's going to step in and make an impact. But not on the Lions. Detroit took Charles Rogers with the second overall pick in 2003 and took Mike Williams with the 10th overall pick in 2005. They are currently the Lions' third-string receivers, and it's entirely possible that at least one won't even make the team. That's how loaded the Lions are with wide receiver talent; they can simply release a Top 10 draft pick.
The second-string guys ahead of Rogers and Williams are Glenn Martinez, who has one catch in his NFL career, and Mike Furrey, who is trying to make the Lions as a receiver after playing safety for the Rams last year. OK, maybe the Lions don't have much depth at receiver. Maybe it's just that Rogers and Williams suck. But, hey, Matt Millen drafted those two ... and he's a genius!

I have this book, I love it
Glad you all liked the book! I'm very happy with it myself.
And no, I don't post often. I prefer email. Sorry, I'm of an older generation. I also prefer to avoid discussing my own work. I enjoy reading good reviews, I enjoy reading that people like the book, and I appreciate every sale, but I only reply when a post asks an interesting, unusual, or unique question. Answering every post or comment in a forum discussion about my own book quickly becomes a narcissistic hole with no bottom...
Thank you for making me spew my Pepsi all over my monitor. I needed to clean it anyway.
Believe it or not, the success you get from writing a BSD book is pretty minimal. Yes, you get warm fuzzy feelings, a small (but highly educated and very intelligent) group of people know who you are and, if the book is printed on thin enough paper, you have a nearly infinite supply of toilet tissue...
You have a very loyal following here at this site. I have recommended Absolute OpenBSD to a number of people both here & elsewhere.
Well, I'm glad to see that nothing has gone to your head hehe.

I just started reading this and it's brilliant. I have so much stuff to get through though. This book, "The Debian System", "The C Programming Language" (K&R, 2nd Version), "Learning Perl", and "Advanced Bash Shell Scripting", intense stuff.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to FreeBSD (and to this forum) and I have to say this book is definitely an amazing resource for a newcomer. Everything you may want to learn about is covered in enough details to give the reader a solid understanding of how things work in FreeBSD and at the same time avoids getting confusing and boring by not digging too deep its various subjects. To me, it's both a desktop reference and a good book to read in bed, since the author even managed to slip in some humour. Like ninjatux said, it's just brilliant.

Celebrity in the house!
I read this practically cover to cover and want to say how much I enjoyed reading this and thank you.
Any plans on a new edition of Absolute OpenBSD in the future?
I was wondering about "Absolute OpenBSD", but I'd like something on NetBSD. It seems the project doesn't have that many followers.

The author claims that 5-15 percent of machines on the internet are BSD-based. Do you buy this? The max seems a little high.

Yeah, I guess it is plausible.

BSD is like morning glory; once you have a bit of it in your playground, the damn stuff spreads and spreads. Even when you think you've killed it all, it reappears. Yes, I'm putting off yard work...
One of the FreeBSD kernel developers, in a Google Talk video, said you can't throw a rock on the internet without hitting a FreeBSD server. I don't recall if it was him, too, but I read, recently, the internet still runs on FreeBSD, but I think that person was speaking of the top-level-domain servers.
I got the book but has been quite busy lately and probably gone through just a dozen of pages, so Im not qualified to give any comment on technical issues. One non-technical thing that I find quite interesting is the presentation. Its the traditional method on writing layout, identation for the first line of each paragraph (in Lucas's book, no identation in first paragraph) and no blank line between paragraphs. I havent seen this kind of method both in paper and online writing for many years.
Thank you and welcome to Daemonforums, M.Lucas

Bought the book for the holidays and am currently at 70%. Great stuff!
I recommend it for every FreeBSD user. It sure broadens the reader's view on FreeBSD and its possibilities. Loved the Lucas' unique humor also.
Hope to see an Absolute OpenBSD 2nd Edition and Absolute NetBSD
BSD and Linux tips and tutorials: Blog Linux/BSD: sharing experiences
There are essentially 9 books devoted more or less entirely to OpenBSD.
I will count them in order in which you should probably read them.
OpenBSD 4.0: A Crash Course by Jem Matzan. Very mild introduction for a complete nOObs to OpenBSD. Book is not worth of having it and definitely not worth of price.
Secure Architectures with OpenBSD by Brandon Palmer, Jose Nazario.
Do not let the title fool you. This is gentle general introduction into
OpenBSD. If you are new to OpenBSD this is the first book to read.
Covers lots of topics.
The Book of PF - A No-Nonsense Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall by Peter N. M. Hansteen is the most beautiful introductory to intermediate text to P.F.
Absolute OpenBSD by Michael Lucas is intermediate to semi-advanced text on OpenBSD. If you want really to harden your system this is the book to read. The new edition would be welcome Michael if you read this
Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF [2nd edition] by Jacek Artymiak is very advanced book on computer security systems geared towards computer security professionals. If you are in charge of security in a bank you probably want to know all tricks from this book. For a normal system administrator Absolute OpenBSD is sufficient.
Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security by Yanek Korff , Paco Hope , Bruce Potter
Is not really OpenBSD specific book. Lots of things like jails for instance are FreeBSD specific. It cover lots of mish-mash material. If somebody
gives you for free definitely take it but I would not rush to buy this one.
The OpenBSD PF Packet Filter Book by Jeremy C. Reed (Editor). I am not familiar with the book
but according to some reviews I read it is little bit more than PF tutorial from the OpenBSD web-site.
How To Approach OpenBSD With A Few Tips: Simple Tips For OpenBSD
by Quick Easy Guides. I am not familiar with the book but I am guessing that you can not learn much from
40 pages.
Openbsd: Implementing the Secure Unix Platform by Brian Carter. To my knowledge this book
has never been published although advertised on many web-sites. It has the most awesome blowfish on the cover.
