Three Old Friends
Today I received my copy of my high school year book. It was the last copy the school had, and over a decade later than everyone else's. Words from a man long since gone, and to me directly that I never got a chance to read are on its pages. I will never forget.
But within it is another story, as that one is for another time.
I had been looking for this picture for some time.
I had contacted Calimus because I could have sworn he had a color copy of a picture similar.
V00d3w also did not have one.
I'll let you attempt to decide who is who, but there is a picture here for posterity.
Three old friends, still friends to this day with a higher deities blessing. Friends since the 6th grade. Each having taken a different road since. One lost his way, stumbled in darkness and has found light again. His wife and family we can never repay enough for bringing him back to us. One stayed home, and built his life in our home of record. Raised a family and now works for a education system helping tomorrows youth in our old home. The third has been around the world, and around the country. Some say vainly seeking for something he may never find, others say he runs from himself. Who knows, but he joined the Army and left in a cloud of dust full of dreams, energy and desire to set the world right.
Twenty years in a picture.
So sitting here in my living room, flipping through pages that I had never seen before to day, I can say for certain I am proud to call them my brothers.
I recall our fights, our parties, our music, our games, our cars, the days we passed as one.
Since that picture, I can not recall a time that we three have shared a room together in almost 15 years. Life has a funny way about it.
Here's to you lads. May we meet again as a group someday
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.-
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The family of missing Glenrothes man, Allan Bryant, have been subjected to a barrage of horrific social media messages by an internet troll claiming he had brutally murdered their son, a court heard last week.
Stewart McInroy, (23), posted a string of vile messages on the Facebook page set up by the family in the wake of their son's disappearance last November.
He appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court last week having previously admitted that on April 16 he used a false identity he had created to post comments claiming to have killed the missing Glenrothes man.The court was told that in April, McInroy used social media to contact Mr Bryant Snr claiming to have tortured and brutally killed his son.
McInroy had set up a Facebook in a false name - Daniel Brunton - before sending a series of messages to Becky Gallacher, a friend of Allan Bryant Jnr, claiming to have taken the missing man hostage.
The following day Mr Bryant Snr was informed that messages had been posted to the campaign Facebook page - Find Allan Bryant Jnr - which now has over 9000 followers.
The court heard a message posted by 'Daniel Brunton' read: "i am the killer of Allan Bryant when he walked home i stopped my van grabbed him holded (sic) him hostage till i found out he was on they (sic) news so i brutally tortured him".
McInroy then shared the message on his own Facebook profile saying "sorry but the family need to know".
He later posted further exchanges between his two profiles, including as Daniel Brunton: "beg for it and I will release the bodies" and "oh well then the Bryant family shall never see their decomposed Allan again - i'm letting you white people rot".
Depute Fiscal Claire Bremner said that McInroy contacted police reporting threats of made to him by the fictional Daniel Brunton. Police then found that the posts had in-fact come from a mobile phone owned by McInroy.
He later admitted to police he had claimed to be the killer of Allan Bryant.
McInroy, from Dunfermline, is currently on remand at HMP Edinburgh, he faces three charges, all in relation to section 38 of the Criminal Justice and licencing (Scotland) Act 2010 - behaving in an threatening or abusive manner.
Defence solicitor Michelle Renton requested that the court defer sentence to allow further background reports to be considered.
Sheriff Ian Abercrombie called for criminal justice social work and psychiatric reports.
A bail request was refused and McInroy was remanded in custody until August 27 when he will be sentenced.


text: As of right now, I have decided to give Sawmill a try since many people recommended it. But my Debian Box doesn't have internet access so I can't download or use apt-get to get sawmill online. So how do I go about doing this? Can I download the Sawmill package and all its dependant packages on floopies from my brother's machine(which uses window 98 :( )and use apt-get to install those packages from floopies on my Debian box?. I wonder if this is a good idea because my brother's box is a win98 machine and don't know if a apt-get would recognize the files(maybe it could, I don't know, I am kinda new to linux). Help me out one more time here guys...And thanx for all your recommendations, I appreciate it. Tam

Great resource with lots of helpful information on navigating a trip to turkey. We spent two weeks and traveled to Istanbul, cappadoccia, Antalya, Olympos, and did a blue cruise from Olympos to Fethiye. What a beautiful country. We encountered so many friendly people and it was surprisingly easy to navigate. Great public transportation system – shuttles, dolmuses, tramways, buses, domestic flights. The tourist boom is a bit overwhelming and gets a little annoying at times, but that is no different than any other tourist destination.
Special thanks to turkeytravelplanner for recommending backpacker travel for airport transfer in Instanbul. We flew into SAW and had a flight out of AST the next morning. The 2 airports are about 90 minutes away from each other on opposite sides of the city. Called backpacker travel to arrange the pick up and transfer on the same day as the flight. Worked out perfect and cost less than advertised (€50 for 2 people). Travel tip – for domestic flights in turkey, it is cheaper to fly on a discount airline from SAW, but not much of a real savings. It's a farther drive and you pay more in airport transfers.
Positive feedback for TTP. Thanks for the help!

Re: Positive feedback for TTP. Thanks for the help!
Wholehearted agreement -- Thanks for the terrific site. My husband and I just came back from a spectacular 11-day trip that included Istanbul, Goreme and Selcuk/Ephesus. I was able to do virtually all of the planning on-line in advance (using this and other sites), and everything went exceptionally smoothly. We used the TTP-recommended airport transfer company (Backpackers Travel) upon our arrival in Turkey. It was a convenient, efficient option that enabled us not to have to worry about figuring out the local transportation options immediately while we were jet-lagged. Since we flew to several regions, we made the trip from the Old City to the airport four times. The other three times we used a taxi, because it was considerably cheaper. We only had one issue: on our final trip back to the airport the taxi driver assumed we weren't paying attention to the meter. I handed him a 50-lira note, from which he gave me 10 liras change. When I pointed out that the meter said 36, he quickly coughed up the other 4 liras.

|Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York
Press Conference by United Nations Police Adviser
With more than 13,000 police officers serving in peacekeeping operations — from Sudan's strife-torn Darfur region to earthquake-ravaged Haiti — the world body aimed to boost the number of women officers to 20 per cent by 2014 while strengthening training programmes to better prepare recruits to handle complex post-conflict and post-disaster situations, United Nations Police Adviser Ann-Marie Orler said at Headquarters today.
"The continuing growth and complexity of our police components underlines the central role of promoting the rule of law in post-conflict environments," Ms. Orler said at her first press conference since the day of her appointment in March. She vowed to further professionalize the United Nations approach to international peacekeeping, saying: "We have begun to take steps in the area of recruitment to make selection and rotations more efficient, and to ensure that we get a sufficient number of qualified staff."
She said her Office was also working with the Integrated Training Service in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to strengthen the assistance provided to help Member States prepare those men and women for international deployment through standardized predeployment training. A major part of that exercise also meant developing better guidelines for United Nations police components in the field, she noted. "A better understanding of our core functions […] in turn means that we will be able to establish clearer and harmonized standards for UN policing, to identify the specific capabilities that we will need in our missions and to develop relevant training."
Ms. Orler said one of her goals was to work more closely with Member States, stressing that the Organization could only deliver with their help and the personnel they provided. The Police Adviser's Office had therefore intensified its dialogue with police-contributing countries and was also bringing together Member States and INTERPOL to develop, by year's end, an action plan for support to police peacekeeping. Those efforts would provide a real opportunity to tackle a range of tough challenges, ranging from doctrine to training, recruitment and deployment, she added.
"All [these] issues — recruitment, training and guidance — are reflected in my goal to increase the number of women in our police components and strengthen our response to sexual and gender-based violence," she said, noting that women now made up 8.5 per cent (1,173 officers) of the Organization's police force, which comprised officers from at least 84 countries. The goal was to boost that proportion to 20 per cent over the next four years.
Recalling the launch last August of a global United Nations effort to increase the number of women police officers serving with peacekeeping missions, she said that during a workshop last week for female personnel from 18 countries, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had stressed that their numbers must increase "not just because deploying more women reflects natural justice […] but because women bring an essential extra dimension to one of our most important tasks — bringing peace, stability and development to populations recovering from conflict".
Ms. Orler reinforced that point by adding that the goal of the global effort was not merely to increase the number of female officers in the United Nations police service, but also to boost their respective national services. In that regard, she announced that the Government of Liberia was aiming to see that women made up 20 per cent of its national police force by 2014. Meanwhile, the Government of Bangladesh was seeking 10,000 more women for recruitment into its national police service.
On the United Nations front, she continued, Bangladesh had deployed two Formed Police Units (a total of 260 officers) to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) just over a week ago, marking the first time that the country had deployed an all-female police unit to the Organization. She pointed out that the Government of India had first deployed an all-female police unit to Liberia in 2007. While it had since been rotated three times, an all-female unit remained deployed in that West African country.
Reiterating her hope that women would make up 20 per cent of the United Nations police force by 2014, she said that a step in that direction had been evident in recent deployments to the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), where female police were working in and around many camps for internally displaced persons. UNAMID had received 136 female officers from Bangladesh, Gambia, Ghana, Namibia, United Republic of Tanzania and Zimbabwe, raising the percentage of women officers deployed in that operation above 10.5 per cent.
Ms. Orler concluded by announcing that Rwanda would deploy some 130 female police officers in the second half of 2010, adding that the German Government had recently announced its intention to invest $41.7 million towards the development of a United Nations police standardized training curriculum on investigating and preventing sexual and gender-based crimes.

Despite the fact that Apple sent out official invites for its iPad 2 unveiling next Wednesday, the rumors questioning what Apple has planned continue to roll in.
iLounge has an exceptionally strong record when it comes to Apple rumors and they're reporting that the planned media event may be geared towards an iPad 1.5 release as opposed to a full-fledged iPad 2.
Two reliable sources are suggesting that next week's "iPad 2" event has some serious cliffhanger potential – as in, consumers may not see the real "iPad 2" for some time. There's apparently some truth to the reports of production problems with the new model, and as a result, no one is really sure at this point what Apple is going to be shipping as the "iPad 2," or when.
This report, of course, jives with the theory laid down by Daring Fireball's John Gruber who postulated that Apple may release two separate iPad models in a 6-month span; a modest upgrade this Spring followed by a more significant upgrade this Fall to coincide with Apple's iPod refresh cycle.
Assuming that iLounge and Gruber are accurate, the iPad 1.5 will sport decent upgrades such as the addition of a camera and other minor tweaks – which of course begs the question – what tricks does Apple have planned for a major iPad refresh?
In any event, iLounge's source notes that a true iPad 2 refresh may not hit stores until June.
In any case, our sources aren't sure whether Apple is going to release the iPad 1.5 now and call it the iPad 2, hold off a few months and release something dramatically better, or hold off a few months and release the iPad 1.5. The sources strongly believe that Apple cannot possibly ship enough truly "new" iPads to meet a late March or early April release date. One expects that Apple will only preview the next iPad at next week's event, then release it widely around June. A price drop for the current model would keep sales flowing until then.
Hmm, on one hand we have to acknowledge iLounge's solid track record, but on the other, and iLounge itself concedes this, these reports seem awfully sketchy. Not only does Apple have a strong track record of releasing product refreshes on schedule – the iPod Touch 3rd gen being the obvious exception – but why would Apple go to the trouble of holding a media event to merely announce the impending release of an iPad 1.5ish device and show off an iPad 2 scheduled for release later in the year? In such a scenario, wouldn't folks hold off a few months for the iPad 2 and ignore the mid-level upgrade? Is Apple concerned enough with the rise of Android tablets that it just wants to get something out there as a stop-gap measure?

Yet the encounter became far more than your standard meet-and-greet when Rosie asked if she could sing a duet of Hill's Mississippi Girls with Hill, who quickly agreed (although, truth be told, Rosie had a better recall of the lyrics than Hill did).
Their performance is well worth watching, leaving Hill in tears as she enveloped Rosie in a big hug when it was all over, declaring, "That was awesome!" Watch:

Tout.com, the San Francisco-based 15-second video cross between Twitter and YouTube, has taken on the habit of adding celebrities at a rapid clip. Shaq, David Beckham, and other notables are on Tout's Featured Page (and Zennie62 should be there, too, dangit!).
But one famous man has taken Tout viewers where no other Touter has gone before: into his own mouth. In this cool, if menacing Tout, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with Eminem playing in the background and obviously inspired by the music, decides he's going to try and put the entire Tout nation into his big mouth. Check it out:
Great. It's also, as of this writing, The Rock's only Tout, and that was five days ago. Dude, you've got to Tout more!
That statement's also a call for Tout to not forget that the people it needs to take care of as much as it takes care of its celebrities, are those Touters who produce content without prodding. It's one thing to have a lot of names, but if the names aren't producing Touts, it's not going to mean a hell of a hill of beans in the future.
Stay tuned.

By Rick Reeno
Undefeated super-middleweight Joe Clazaghe is once again mixed in with talk going around Boxing circles as being involved in proposed mega-fights.
Joe Calzaghe is rumored to be a future opponent for middleweight Felix Trinidad and light heavyweight Glen Johnson. Calzaghe had a fight with Johnson set earlier this year but injuries and difficulties in negotiations made the fight impossible to make.
"Johnson's (Glen) win was good news for Joe, we can make that fight. We all know Joe wants to move up in weight, and - other than a Tarver rematch - where else can Johnson go? The fight doesn't need a belt, Tarver and Johnson proved that by ditching theirs before they met. It was a gruelling fight for Glen and he will be looking for at least three months off. In the meantime, Joe will fight on 11 February and we will have time to make arrangements for a fight with Johnson some time next year." said Calzaghe's promoter Frank Warren to the BBC
The fact that Don King is interested in matching Trinidad with Calzaghe has Warren very excited. The rumor is that Don King recently approached Warren about the prospect of matching Trinidad against Calzaghe. Warren says the fight can be made if King is serious about the bout.
Most experts think this may be a negotiations ploy by King for a potential rematch between Hopkins and Trinidad. Warren is also very skeptical about a bout with Trinidad and Calzaghe coming off.
"We'd jump at a Trinidad fight, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it." said Warren
Papa Trinidad said that if Don King gives them the green light for Calzaghe, they will go to 168 to fight Calzaghe.
"Weight and size would not be an issue fighting against Calzaghe. Tito is special. If King thinks Calzaghe is the best fight, that's no problem for us." said Felix Trinidad, Sr.

Gilbert Arenas hopes for NBA comebackPosted by Inside Hoops
Dec 25
Here's TMZ reporting on a former beloved NBA player who really should keep the sneakers hung up in the closet at this point. It's unlikely that any team would sign Gilbert Arenas at this point, but here's the story:
Gilbert Arenas has had a change of heart … telling TMZ Sports he's abandoned his plans to retire from pro basketball … and he's currently training to RETURN TO THE NBA!!
It was just last month, Agent Zero told us he was walking away from the sport forever … happily … 'cause he's still got another $38 million coming his way from the $111 million contract he signed with the Washington Wizards back in the day.

Some applications on your computer can seem a bit pushy, opening as soon as you boot up and demanding your attention with various pings and bouncing icons. Aside from general irritation, these "startup" programs can also contribute to the slow running of your computer by diverting valuable memory away from the applications you do need to use.
It's now getting a lot easier to configure which of your applications opens automatically, thanks to a dedicated panel in Windows Vista. Click on Start then go to Control Panel and under Programs, select Change Startup Programs. This will call up the Windows Defender displaying the Software Explorer, which lets you remove or just disable any startup item. Don't get too carried away, though - you'll need Microsoft Explorer, Windows Defender and Microsoft IntelliPoint, so no excessive clicking.
On Windows XP, pruning your startup applications involves tinkering with the registry. Go to Start then Run and type in "msconfig". In the window that pops up, go to the Startup tab to display a list of things that automatically load when you switch on. Unchecking a box will remove that item from startup, but not delete it from the computer.
As usual, Mac users have an easy time of it and just have to go to System Preferences, select Users then Login Items and add or remove programs at will.

Harrison Ford Being Sought to Return for 'Blade Runner' Sequel
- By
- 28 Comments
Readers with long memories may recall that Sir Ridley Scott has been mulling over the notion of making a sequel to his 1982 science fiction classic, Blade Runner, since last year; they may also remember that towards the tail end of 2012, that film's star, genre icon Harrison Ford, expressed a modicum of subdued interest in reprising his role as the android-hunting Rick Deckard. As much as the film is self-contained, Scott seems to have more story to tell within the dystopian world Phillip K. Dick invented on the page in 1968.
What, exactly, that story happens to be about remains an enigma. Scott hasn't made more than a peep about his script, or even the ideas he'll be injecting into it, and has gone on record only to say that it's happening. Equally mysterious is the film's production timeline; vague overtures made by Fox suggest that the picture could open in US theaters as soon as March, 2016, but that feels too generous to be realistic. Even Ford's place in all of this is unknown, as the actor's name hasn't come up in conversation about the film since he first piped up about it seven months ago.
Apparently, Alcon Entertainment – the production studio backing Blade Runner 2 – feels as uncomfortable about that uncertainty. Earlier today, the company issued a press release that more or less offers the part to Ford outright. Word on this unorthodox move comes from the folks at THR; unsurprisingly, Alcon has no excess information to offer about the film itself, as they've only taken the bold opportunity to open negotiations with Ford through the press.
To describe their campaign as "unprecedented" almost feels like an understatement; nobody approaches an actor for a role on a public stage like this. That's not to say that Alcon has made a bad move, per se, though they'll wind up with a full omelet on their face if Ford ends up declining their offer. On the other hand, if he accepts, then their gambit will have paid off, but in between now and the time it takes for Ford to make up his mind one way or the other, one can only look at Alcon's plan of action and raise an eyebrow.
But as unconventional as the studio's tactics are, it's even odder to think that audiences might actually be treated to a Blade Runner sequel starring Harrison Ford in this decade. A few years ago, nobody might have bought into the possibility that he might end up collaborating with Scott to explore Blade Runner's bleak, hard boiled landscape anew. Yet here we are today, staring down the barrel of a possible follow-up to one of cinema's most celebrated sci-fi narratives.
Will Ford accept? Will he say no? Ford had a packed 2013 slate thanks to his presence on movies ranging from Ender's Game to 42, and thanks to his confirmed involvement in Star Wars: Episode VII, it's unlikely he'll be getting less busy in the foreseeable future. (Especially in light of his allegedly "gigantic" role in the film.) And none of this even raises the question of whether he and Scott should be pursuing a Blade Runner sequel in the first place – not just because of the film's lauded status but in consideration of how much they both have on their plates. Ford's presence in Star Wars aside, Scott has Exodus, a Prometheus sequel, The Martian, and The Forever War in his sights already.
Maybe Scott can balance that stacked workload, maybe not. If Ford turns down Alcon, it's probably irrelevant, as Scott has planned for Blade Runner 2 to take place decades after the original film; recasting Deckard in that context seems like a mistake (though Scott's past mentions of a female protagonist might make the character obsolete anyways). For now, this is just a waiting game as Alcon waits on Ford's reply, but theirs is a one of a kind circumstance, to say the least.
We'll keep you up to date on Blade Runner 2 news as it becomes available.
