How can I test the security of my server ?
Please I know it is too general question. But I was wondering if there is a tester software or web service checking all ports of your server, or possibly security holes ?
I usually check unix permissions and that's it, but there is something I can do ?
ps. Users cannot upload files with my web applications, so I don't have that issue.

For 364 days a year, all that matters is what kind of music YOU like. But on Sunday, when the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards show comes on, it is the opinion of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States that counts.
We crunched the numbers, evaluated the contenders and channeled the academy's decision-making process to figure out who will win and who will be left sitting there in the audience, trying to hide their shame, rage and disappointment. Here's what we came up with for the Best Solo Rock Performance category.
"Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," by Bob Dylan
The Breakdown: This is strictly a personal opinion, but I'm never comfortable with Bob Dylan in seductive mode. Remember when they used him in that Victoria's Secret ad? Terrifying. And what's going on with this video? Domestic abuse? Nothing makes sense in DylanWorld. VERDICT: Loser
"Change In The Weather," by John Fogerty
The Breakdown:John Fogerty is always singing about weather patterns. Bad moons are rising. No one can stop the rain. The man could get an entire album out of a wintry mix. VERDICT: Loser
"Dreamer," by Prince
The Breakdown: I love Prince, but he doesn't deserve to win ANYTHING after that Vikings fight song he wrote. In fact, he should have all his Purple Rain Grammys revoked. That song is worse than death. VERDICT: Loser
"Fork in the Road," by Neil Young
The Breakdown: A friend of mine got a VIP pass to a Neil Young concert at once. He was given a folding chair on the side of the stage and allowed to watch Young play right nearby. Neil Young is awesome. But he won't win this year, because the next nominee is too tough to beat. VERDICT: Loser.
"Working On A Dream," by Bruce Springsteen
The Breakdown: Easy money. VERDICT: WINNER!

Henry Doelger is famed for being the 'Henry Ford' of homebuilding, pioneering mass-produced houses in San Francisco's Sunset district and later in Daly City's Westlake, and becoming the largest homebuilder in America by 1940.
Doelger (1896-1978) isn't known for being a modernist. But how about his 'Styleocrat' model, with flat parapets, glass block walls, and silvery railings around the balcony?
At 6 p.m. Thursday, October 17, San Francisco planner Mary Brown and Woody LaBounty, founder of the Western Neighborhoods Project, will discuss 'Sunset for the Masses: the Influence of Henry Doelger,' at St. Anne of the Sunset, 850 Judah Street, San Francisco. The talk, sponsored by San Francisco Heritage, is $12 for non-members.
One focus of the talk will be Doelger's Streamline Moderne office building. "It's a great landmark to all these merchant builders who developed, what?—a quarter?—a third of San Francisco?" says LaBounty.
Doelger may not have been a pure modernist, but he was building houses with atriums—he called them 'patios'—decades before Joe Eichler did. Doelger also developed techniques of mass production, including prefabricated parts.
His homes "were in the reach of people who couldn't afford homes before that," LaBounty says, adding, "he was a business visionary in figuring a way to get these affordable houses done in an efficient way."

Thanks to NEEKEREJ from MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this week's photo challenge. Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is to write " a clerihew. This is a four line poem biographical poem satirizes famous people." As well, for A to Z Challenge, the GoodRead's quote is from an author with a name beginning with the letter M (first or last name).
" I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city……..I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, "well done," and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore. Finally he'll turn and we'll walk toward the city, a city he will have spoken into existence a city built in a place where once there'd been nothing. " ― Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
She's brilliantly famous you know,
The lady of who Led Zeppelin sings of so;
Buying the stairway to Heaven, sighing,
When the stores are all closed, surprised.
And though she makes me wonder much,
What she so badly needed to buy such —
Treasure; I was shocked when she was hurled,
Descending the stairway to Heaven, to the world.

Facebook. Flickr. Picasa. Photobucket. Even those who still consider the internet the work of demons and wizards know the names. And chances are virtually everyone in your posse has used at least one or more of these giants to host and share their personal photos.
But online photo hosting is no longer limited to just a few key players. Today, you can't swing a 500mm lens without hitting a business that wants nothing more than to store your pics. And it's our intention here to point you in the direction of some hidden gems.
Like a lot of things, you do seem to get what you pay for. Long gone are the days when you were forced to withstand oodles of flashing icons and brash advertisements strewn across a crudely constructed interface. Today, refinement is not uncommon. But it will cost you.
Finally, our selections are by no means defining. We didn't, for example, include top-notch services such as Exposure Manager or Photo Shelter. Not because they're problematic, but because they're clearly aimed at money-making pros.
Don't forget — no matter which service you ultimately select, check around for coupons and promo codes before you sign up. They're everywhere.
The Numbers: 6 million total visits; 3 million unique visitors; 200,000 members; founded in 2003, independently owned.
The Lowdown: It may have been founded in 2003, but Canadian-based 500px, newly redesigned for 2011, is only recently getting the attention it deserves. Sure, you can share photos and sell photos — the latter by upgrading to the service's "Awesome Account" — but the focus here is on the display of your work.
The problem? So many top-notch photographers use 500px and so many of them submit so many top-notch shots, that yours may well sink into the curator-monitored mix pretty quickly. According to cofounder Ian Sobolev, "Photographers will post hundreds of photos on Flickr and then choose the top 10 to post on 500px." Looking through 500px's offerings, this certainly seems to be the case.
Truly, this is not the ideal spot to post hundreds of your latest high school basketball pics. But if stunning landscapes, rare insects glistening in the rain, or even tasteful semi-nudes are your thing, 500px offers an elegant and certainly unobtrusive environment in which to show them off, full size if you want.
Though basic 500px membership includes unlimited uploads, full access to the site's community, and a blog, most will want to opt for the paid Awesome Account and the theme upgrades, custom domains and other benefits it brings.
Cost and Highlights: Just two choices here, free and "Awesome". Basic plan: Free; Awesome Account (adds custom domains, full site customisation): $US50/year.
Best Suited For: Established, seasoned photographers brandishing stunning examples of their excellence; Joe Average photographers with a creative side.
The Numbers: 13 million registered members; 35 million unique visitors per month; founded in 2000; independently owned.
The Lowdown: Why would anyone gravitate to a place where members are called "deviants" and submissions "deviations"? We can't say, yet that's precisely the case at deviantART, an image hosting and sharing website that's certainly distinct from our other selections.
deviantART, you see, is designed primarily for the artist rather than the photographer. (That said, it works just fine for us shutterbugs too.) More than that though, the site is known for its, um… freedom of expression. Here, you will occasionally see depictions of nudity and/or violence. Outright pornography is strictly prohibited and the site labels even questionable material "mature content", but it's nevertheless not a place for the kiddies.
It is, however, a great spot for social interaction with other users. Comments are encouraged, discussions and polls are wide-ranging, and community spirit is evident just about everywhere you go. deviantART also features the usual amenities of a standard photo hosting site and a "Prints Shop" where submissions are bought and sold.
Cost and Highlights: Free to sign up as a "Basic" member, though you will be asked your age at time of registration. Basic membership: Free; Premium membership (no advertisements, improved browsing and numerous other benefits): $US4.95/month or $US29.95/year.
Best Suited For: Anyone with an open mind; creative individuals; those seeking community involvement.
The Numbers: More than 10 million photos and videos hosted; founded in 2005; independently owned.
The Lowdown: We include Dropshots because, like many other second-tier sites, it proves why the Flickrs and Photobuckets have the user base they do. Sure, old school mainstream services such as Shutterfly and Snapfish have that "budget" feel (convoluted interfaces, lots of ads and marketing tricks), but Dropshots is perhaps more disappointing because it claims it's "Next Generation" when it doesn't appear to be.
Dropshots is not a terrible site. Album creation is positively painless-the site neatly arranges your pics in chronologic order — as is sharing. And its little downloadable "Dropbox" utility allows you to drag and drop photos directly from Windows Explorer. Couldn't be easier.
But a "Next Generation" assertion would seem to indicate a certain visual refinement that simply isn't there. Indeed, the interfaces are noticeably generic and generally quite busy. Worse still, our photos, when enlarged, looked clearly more indistinct here than anywhere else we auditioned. We tried to find an editing utility to perhaps re-sharpen them a bit, but editing is not part of the package.
In the end, we realised we'd need to upgrade from Dropshots' freebie account if we wanted to view our photos seen in all their high-resolution glory (and if we wanted to upload more than 500 of them).
Cost and Highlights: Two levels here, the paid annual alternative being as expensive as that of some high-level sites. Dropshots does, however, offer a unique lifetime option that'll save big bucks over the long haul. Basic: Free. Premium (add unlimited uploads, improved imaging, password protection) $US59.95/year, $US99/lifetime.
Best Suited For: Entry-level photographers too uninspired to seek out superior services.
The Numbers: Independently owned, founded in March of 2010.
The Lowdown: "It has to be fast. It has to be easy. It has to connect you. It is your content." With those stated goals, Razzi, a definite rookie in the photo hosting world, launched in 2010. And for sheer photo loading and organising convenience, few services can top it. We'd uploaded our first shots within minutes of first surfing to the site and were dragging and dropping photos seconds later. Compared to some sites, Razzi is a breeze.
However, it's certainly no full-meal-deal solution. You can't, for example, edit your online pics, order prints or develop a fully customised page. Nor can you abolish advertisements. But you probably wouldn't want to. You see, Razzi features a YouTube-like perk wherein users make money-via Google's AdSense program-when viewers load their ad-supported pages. This is a nifty concept that, if implemented correctly, should help keep Razzi hot for some time to come.
Yet even without the AdSense connection, Razzi is likeable. It's easy to use (as we've described above), and it offers desirable amenities such as unlimited uploads, right-click photo protection, friend activity streams and even an iPhone app.
Costs and Highlights: Razzi offers two levels of service. Users of both the free and paid accounts share in Google AdSense revenue. Standard Account (Unlimited uploads, 50% ad revenue): Free; Pro Account (add original resolution access, 100% ad revenue): $US6.95/month.
Best Suited For: Those seeking a simple, easy to use photo-hosting solution; enterprising individuals who believe their photos are truly click-worthy.
The Numbers: 1.5 billion photos; 91 employees; founded in 2002; independently owned.
The Lowdown: Exceedingly popular with professional photographers who often decide between high-end services such as this and custom-designed personal websites, SmugMug is perhaps most notable for its ultra-attentive customer support where emailed questions are often, as we can verify, answered in minutes. Its galleries are clean and its esthetics are distinctly upscale, its prints rank favourably, and its user forum, Digital Grin, is chock full of helpful tips to take your online presence beyond the norm.
However, this is not the ideal spot for photo sharing. Though the site certainly supports it, SmugMug photo sharing isn't nearly the important cog it is at sites such as Flickr. Nor is the service inexpensive. None of its levels are freebies, and the top rung, in which customers can utilise their own domain names, runs a hefty $US150 per year.
Still, we like SmugMug a lot, particularly for its super-tight, super-convenient integration with capable photo editing/organization applications such as Adobe's Lightroom. We found we could fill our SmugMug galleries without ever having to leave Lightroom. Anything that saves a step is fine by us.
Cost and Highlights: At SmugMug, there are three levels of service and none are free. Basic plan (unlimited storage, no advertising): $US5/month or $US40/year; Power plan (add video support, site customisation, photo protection): $US8/month or $US60/year; Pro plan (add professional e-commerce features): $US20/month or $US150/year.
Best Suited For: Heavily engrossed camera bugs and professional photographers who aren't looking for peer approval or social interaction as much as sales and sophistication.
The Numbers: 90 million members in over 20 countries; two billion stored photos; founded in 2000; owned by Hewlett-Packard.
The Lowdown: One of the true veterans in the photo hosting world, Snapfish is also one of the busiest. But we've opted to include it anyway because its old school approach may keep it under the radar of those who aren't already familiar with it.
Generally targeting the amateur rather than professional photographer (though its new "Stock Images" section does provide some level of e-commerce), Snapfish comes without some of the high-end accoutrements of the SmugMugs and Zenfolios. But that's just fine for the millions of users who patronise it.
Snapfish offers unlimited online storage and sharing of your photos, and it's also a "free" service — but with a catch. You must maintain "active participation" (in other words, you must order prints or gifts or merchandise at least once a year) or risk forfeiting your membership. From photo mugs to books, cards, calendars and much more, there's no shortage of photo-customisable products from which to choose and no shortage of promotion designed to sell you a bit of everything.
Snapfish is arguably the Wal-Mart of photo hosting, and its money-maker — the printed product — is viewed by some as inconsistent. Still, the vast majority of its truly massive user base is apparently quite content.
Cost and Highlights: It won't cost you a thing to sign-up or upload an unlimited number of photos. You will, however, need to reach for your wallet at least once each year to buy prints or merchandise. Membership: Free. Prints: $.09 each for four 4x6s; $US2.99 each for four 8x10s. Photo Books: $US11.99 to $US44.99. Photo Mugs: $US9.99 and up.
Best Suited For: Cost-conscious consumers who prioritise storage; family/group sharing; and extended printing options over worldwide exposure and sophisticated amenities.
The Numbers: seven million monthly visitors; 520 million photos; founded in 1995; owned by American Greetings.
The Lowdown: A true original, Webshots has been in the photo sharing/hosting game for more than a decade. In that time, it has built up a considerable user base and, of course, gazillions of photos.
Webshots is a workable but not spectacular service that's beginning to show its old school beginnings (oodles of ads, inelegant interface, questionable editing facilities). It's notable, however, for its highly customisable greeting cards-it is, after all, run by American Greetings-and the site's new "Project Exposure," in which member photos appear on greeting cards distributed at retail stores such as Target. We also like its new "Picture Shows" utility, in which you can produce nifty little videos that integrate your pics, music from the site, and captions. We completed our first Picture Show in a matter of minutes.
Webshots' default no-charge service will be welcomed by those on severe budgets yet is encumbered by limitations and advertisements. Its "Gold" level at just $US19.99/year does away with most annoyances and its Platinum service (just 10 dollars more) even lets you download and keep any Picture Shows you've created. The downside to all three levels? None of them offer unlimited storage.
Costs and Highlights: Three levels in total. The first is free, but even the two paid levels impose upload/storage limitations of 5000 photos. Webshots Limited (1000-upload maximum): Free. Webshots Gold (add member photo downloads, 5000-upload max): $US19.99. Webshots Platinum (add Picture Show downloads): $US29.99.
Best Suited For: Thrifty folks who have other ways to spend their hard-earned money; people who really, really want their images on greeting cards.
The Numbers: Founded in 2004; independently owned.
The Lowdown: Go to any serious photog discussion forum and you'll find likely find two hosting sites bandied about above all others-SmugMug and Zenfolio. But does that mean they're the best options for you? That depends where you are in your photographic journey.
If you own not one but two DSLRs and a thorough collection of lenses, and if you already see paid gigs in your future, you'll undoubtedly benefit from the Zen/Smug feature set. They're similar in many ways (no free account options, equally convoluted website setup schemes-they could both take lessons from Photobucket in these respects). And Zenfolio, aligned with veteran print house MPix, is lauded by many as delivering the slickest hardcopy in the business. Unlimited storage (available in all but Zenfolio's "Basic" plan) is another great perk for serious photographers, as are the fully customisable — and often downright gorgeous-galleries.
As is the case with SmugMug, sharing and social interaction are not Zenfolio's strong suits. Indeed, it prides itself on privacy and image protection-a smart idea when you consider its customer base.
Note: We found Zenfolio slow-moving, and noticed similar complaints from other users. Most complaints were recent, leading us to believe this is a temporary issue.
Cost and Highlights: At Zenfolio, you pay to play. However, its $US100/year "Premium" account is one of the least expensive full-blown photo e-commerce avenues you'll find. Basic Plan (2GB max storage, custom design): $US25; Unlimited Plan (add unlimited storage, own domain names): $US50; Premium Plan (add photo-marketing capabilities, multiple upgrades): $US100; Premium Business plan (everything but the proverbial kitchen sink): $US250/year.
Best Suited For: Serious cameramen (and camerawomen). Zenfolio ideally fits no-nonsense types who know they're good and want a public presence to show off-and possibly sell-their wares. Probable overkill for holiday snap-shooters seeking comments.

I have a few questions that I've been trying to find the answer to for a few weeks to no avail. I am starting a business where I sell downloadable files I've created. They'll be in .zip format. Once I find a theme I like, and do any design work to the theme, etc, I'm good to go. My problems are as follows:
I can only upload 2megabyte files to wordpress, thought the products I'll be selling are about 12megabytes each. So can I get around this? (been looking and trying for days now, I'm not sure whether it's my hosting site that's blocking higher uploads because I've tried every tweak) Or can I host the file for sale on another site and have it accessible through a purchase on wordpress that way? Does that make sense? I know it's a complicated question.
See, my intention was to upload these 5, 12 megabyte files to my media library, and then link to them and set up the paypal, etc--using what I found on this page: http://www.heatherporter.com/get-more-customers/adding-paypal-to-wordpress-sell-ebook/ But this only works if you're using a small file.
So I guess my question is, are there any e-commerce plugins that allow you to host the file for sale on another site, or something like that, yet are still downloadable if someone were to buy them on my wordpress site?
Once I've picked a theme I like and I decide to buy it for $50 bucks or whatever they charge, can I then purchase an e-commerce plugin separately and have it work with the theme I bought?
I realize I've asked 4 tough questions. I appreciate your help so much. It's been a goal of mine for 2 years now to get this website up and running. I've spent the last 2 years designing what I'm going to be selling and now the only thing standing in the way of me starting my business is my ignorance at how to accomplish it. THere's so much information it's overwhelming.
Thank you,
Kelsey Todd

Speed work at 90 F? Vitamin E?
I have been dragging my feet so to speak about doing any sort of speed work since Grandma's Marathon. But that was 12 days ago now. I'm not sore or injured and yesterday was an easy day. So the time was now.
My excuses:
1. the track is too hot in the sun
2. the treadmill is too boring and injurious
So I settled for yet another long run... until the guy shows up. What was he thinking? Nobody passes me in Hixon (except SR and Jake Hegge, okay, okay - I'm kidding -sort of). So I ran as fast as I could to drop him for about a mile up a large hill and doubled over, dripping in sweat. And after I took a large drink of water I realized it was fun. So for the next three hours I did intervals in the shade of the forest up to "look out point" which has a view of the entire city of La Crosse, The Mississippi and La Crescent, MN. Hill repeats, I guess, or bluff repeats more specifically. It was badass and awesome. And the only way I got myself to do it was the promise that I could write about it afterwards. Plus my heart will thank me for this when I'm 60 if I keep it up.
This could potentially be about SR's current trip to Minneapolis, but it is actually about sugar free gum. It is the next thing I need to give up. My stomach does not do well with it. Please give me convincing reasons to stop chewing a whole pack a day!! I know it is not healthy, but now that my belly has shrunk, I'm getting lazy.
Speaking of which, I saw a guy buying lots of packs of A&W Diet Root Beer today at the grocery store and trust me, I took note of his belly - I couldn't help but speculate. Who knows if it was the diet soda in his case. I just wonder how many people deal with the same problem I had and don't know it.
Vitamin E
I was looking at little finger food snacks for Mattias at this same store (Woodman's) and they sell little banana cookies for infants fortified with Vitamin E!!!! What on earth are they thinking? Vitamin E supplementation is good for nothing and has been associated with increased mortality in so many population studies. WHY would they put this in infant food? Does anyone know of a single reason a person should take Vitamin E??? I can't think of one. This then led me to realize there is also Vitamin E in my prenatal/lactating mom vits, which I should throw in the trash. I now understand why so many people who live in the US are freaks about looking at ingredients. I am certainly becoming one. I keep telling SR I want to get a small community of houses and people together where we all grow our own food and make our own clothing (and running shoes -which would be tough!) and only use the energy we make - anyone in? :)
New Book
I just picked up a used copy of Minnesotan, Scott Jurek's book "Eat & Run". I love autobiographies. I can already tell it will be a good read. And there is a whole chapter about Voyageur! Speaking of which the Half Voyageur is now on and it is looking good for the full Voyageur (at least in some form).

I wish I had the will power to give up soda. But I just can't! I need my one can of Diet Dr. Pepper every day. I look forward to it all day!

you'll have to tell me about Jurek's book. I read a lot of running / climbing / mountaineering books... shame though that the American / English ones are hard to find here therefore to be ordered on Amazon and expensive!

I'd live in your commune for the food but I would have to import my own clothes. Sorry:) Does sugar free gum contribute to bloating? I only chew about 2-3 pieces a day but have been feeling a little thick in the middle lately. Could it be the carbonated water? (But again, I only drink about 500ml of that a day.)

The Vitamin E thing is because it's an antioxidant (but so is selenium, and that's toxic). It is really quite possible for those on a typical American fast food diet to be deficient in Vitamin E.
I can't believe people eat sugar-free anything. They replace sugars with sugar alcohols (xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol) which are laxatives! or with coal tar derivatives (most artificial sweeteners) or unknown-in-nature chemicals (aspartame) or with the new darling stevia, which has never been studied in humans except anecdotally. We're talking about 2-5 calories in gum! Why risk your health for 5 calories?!

I think the concern with sugared gum is the effect on the teeth, not the calories.

Interesting! I did not know Vitamin E is toxic. I know selenium is, in high amounts, but don't we need a small amount? Is is the same deal with vitamin E? How much is toxic? Ok ok, I will look on wikipedia.
I also didn't know I should be alarmed about sugar free gum. Xylitol is touted by the Whole Foods type people as being healthy. I've never shit myself after eating a piece of gum; I don't think it will replace morning coffee! (to be clear, I've never shit myself after coffee either)
I have a friend in Portland who's obsessed with starting a commune. You guys can chat.

Hi- this is totally unrelated to this blog, but hopefully you might answer! I have been avidly reading all your earlier blogs on pregnancy and LOVING them. I am a medium and log distance triathlete and a marathon runner and am very happily 6 weeks pregnant. I am feeling the early fatigue and wondering how much to push through. As an athlete i am obviously used to pushing through the tiredness and fatigue... but now with a little being inside me I want to be sure not to do anything that will actually cause harm. At what point is pushing through the fatigue bad? Obviously I would stop if there was actual pain...
- 29 June 2012 at 22:21
Unrelated to this, but hopefully you will have some great advice. I am an avid triathlete and marathoner and love it. I am also very happily 6 weeks pregnant and your blogs about that are my current lifeline! I am wondering if you can comment on running through the fatigue... I am starting to feel the fatigue, but am also used to running through it, so am curious at what point it would be harmful? Obviously I would stop if there was pain... but otherwise?

Steve- I would only consider Vitamin E deficiency in the differential diagnosis in the following patient:
Paranoid Schizophrenic man of Middleastern descent who believes he is being instructed by God to eat every one of his remaining meals on earth at Dairtý Queen and has a burning sensation in his feet and legs.

Welcome, Maria! Now you and Steve Q have tought me about Selenium being toxic. I did not know that. I remember hearing back in college that there was an association between selenium in the soil and decreased risk of cancer - and I have been pondering that odd fact ever since. I need to look up more information.
Your friend in Portland sounds fun. I would love to chat with him or her. I keep thinking about how to extend the commune idea to an entire region or state. I could write an entire blog post about it - but basically the idea is self-sustaining, no cheap crap from China, no people adding vitamin E to things, etc. Only buying items and food made right there. Hmmm.

Hi Magsky/Margaret! Welcome to you as well! Congrats on your prengnacy! A must do is reading James Clapp's book, which I link to on the side bar. The biggest area of potential risk, as far as I have read is overheating early on in pregnancy. I also have a link to my blog post on this (discussing teratogens...). But the most important is letting your body be your guide and resting, eating and rehydrating when you feel you need it. Good luck! Please stay in touch.

I have to clarify: sugar free gum gives me terrible heart burn. I've never noticed a laxative effect. Anyway- I had none today! I'm well on my way to conquering this one, I hope.

The Crown Prosecution Service has issued a statement on today's conviction of Thomas Mair for the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.
Sue Hemming, head of special crime and counter-terrorism, said: "On 16 June, Thomas Mair carried out the brutal murder of Jo Cox – a defenceless mother of two young children who served her constituents with passion, exuberance and vitality and was proud to represent a diverse community.

"Several people courageously intervened to try and save Ms Cox, including 77-year-old Bernard Kenny who was stabbed by Mair and sustained serious injuries as a result.
"Mair has offered no explanation for his actions but the prosecution was able to demonstrate that, motivated by hate, his pre-meditated crimes were nothing less than acts of terrorism designed to advance his twisted ideology.
"The CPS worked closely with police from the outset of their thorough investigation to build a strong case. This included the evidence of a number of brave eyewitnesses, who are to be commended. A jury has now unanimously agreed on Mair's guilt of all offences committed during this disturbing attack.
"Our thoughts are with Jo Cox's family, who attended the court hearing and have behaved with real strength and dignity throughout. The CPS will continue to work with criminal justice partners to combat those who seek to sow hatred and division by advancing extremist ideologies."

There are so many things I could list about why I love this sequence; from the gorgeous backgrounds (with their garish circus décor and dead bodies humorously littered about) to Joker's creepy commentary ("Excuse me whilst I shoot the architect..."), to the carnival games you play to save hostages' lives, the platformer-style level progression between each floor, Bane's epic boss fight, Joker shooting his own henchmen (something previously never seen in the series; Joker actually killing someone on-screen!), and last but not least, Batman saving Joker's life, a key moment that not only brilliantly showcases the Dark Knight's black and white morality, but also plants the seed of Joker's obsession with his 'special someone'.

An overwhelming majority of residents in the region support the idea of Dubai hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics, according to a study.
In December 2012, a top official of the UAE's National Olympic Committee confirmed Dubai will bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics as soon as the government gives the go ahead.
A YouGov poll, in the days following the announcement, examined the views of residents across the region and their thoughts about the possibility of the Summer Olympics coming to Dubai.
Overall, 72 per cent of all respondents agree that it is a good idea for Dubai to host the Olympics (rising to 75 per cent for UAE residents).
The majority of respondents feel an Olympic Games held in Dubai will not only have a positive impact on the world's perception of the Middle East (76 per cent) and Dubai (80 per cent) but also on the world's perception of Muslims (67 per cent).
The majority of respondents feel Dubai already has the capability to host the Olympics, especially in terms of infrastructure (78 per cent) and expertise (68 per cent). Three-quarters of respondents also agree Dubai is the safest place in the Middle East for the Olympics to be held, the poll said.
Nevertheless, an obvious concern about hosting a sporting event in Dubai is the summer heat and 39 per cent of respondents feel it would be acceptable to postpone the Olympics until later in the year, compared to 35 per cent who do not. However, amongst UAE residents, over two-thirds (69 per cent) feel the games should be pushed to later in the year when the weather is cooler.
Respondents think the key benefit of hosting the Olympics in Dubai is that it will be a 'boost to the UAE's economy'. In addition, respondents feel the Olympics will increase tourism, community spirit and encourage participation in sports (at present 30 per cent of respondents state they never participate in sports and 43 per cent never attend live sports events), the study said.
However, 69 per cent of respondents watch sports on TV or online at least occasionally and more than two-thirds of respondents viewed the 2012 London Olympics (on TV or online).
Over half (52 per cent) of respondents say they would be interested in attending the Olympics if they were held in Dubai, with 29 per cent disagreeing. The majority (81 per cent) agree hosting the Olympics in Dubai would make the event easily accessible to Middle East residents.
Other cities that have expressed an interest in bidding for the 2024 Olympics include Durban (South Africa), Casablanca (Morocco), Paris (France), Berlin (Germany) and Doha (Qatar). Qatar could be seen as a rival for bringing the Olympics to the Middle East, but when respondents are asked if Qatar or Dubai would do a better job of hosting the Olympics, 56 per cent of Middle East respondents say Dubai, 13 per cent state Qatar and 32 per cent say there would be no difference, the study said.
Finally, it is encouraging to see how much optimism respondents across the region have, with 71 per cent expressing the view that it is likely that Dubai will win the bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
The survey was conducted using the YouGov Online Panel and all questionnaires were completed between the December 12 and 17. The results are based on a total sample of 2,018 respondents (1,127 from the GCC (including 151 from UAE), 486 from North Africa and 455 from the Levant). The YouGov panel is broadly representative of the online populations within the region, the firm said.

Humaling, fondness.
Of extreme quality,
Fond for certain friends.
Caring, great deal for family.
Beloved Aunt; Grandma, niece.
Searching deeper seems,
Such fondness as humaling.
Means fondness further.
Not merely affection heartfelt,
Special love given, which is free.
Not feelings, fondness —
For your relations or friends.
Humaling, loving,
Your other half, their presence.
Emotions driving deep love.
True love; which locks two.
A mysterious connection felt,
Never the same with —
Anyone ever existing.
Causing heart beats so in sink.
Time may alter love.
Authentic love, means no limits.
Makes you speechless, soft.
Sore secrets in open air.
Your lover, a bearer of your strife.
You know their secrets.
Share in joys and sorrow too.
Extreme fondness hurts.
It's beneath the surface shown,
Hurts and trials woven with love.
Release one thread; help —
Your kindred spirit, beloved.
Sleep not in anger.
Satisfied; in love 'til death.
Not only fondness; in love.
Your piece of puzzle,
Missing until a fated,
Day; you find them lost.
Together complete a circle,
Forever, love beyond bliss.

INTERVIEWED BY BONNY FINBERG BF: Why do you think so many activists become less directly involved in political activism as they get older? Some, like Tom Hayden have entered mainstream politics, others have maintained a revolutionary stance in response to politics and the world at large, but many have retreated from the front lines. Where are they? What are they doing?
SS: I don't think it's true many have become less directly involved. Maybe a handful of the more famous activists, and that might not even be true. We just don't hear about them. I was at a memorial recently for Grace Paley that was held by the War Resister's League and the Women's Pentagon Action and it was full of people who were active in the Sixties, many even before, and are still struggling for social justice in many areas from mainstream politics to the anti-war movement to local struggles for fair housing. Much of the really important struggle takes place on a local level and that is just not "sexy" enough for the media to report. Also there has obviously been a concerted effort after the Sixties not to cover progressive politics or activity.
BF: How do you see your own activism manifested in your life now?
SS: In a number of ways. Through my writing, teaching, working with our union—we are affiliated with the UAW—at Parsons School of Design and Eugene Lang College, both part of The New School, and through social justice work both community and nation based at Middle Church, a wonderfully diverse socially progressive community. And of course any demonstration that comes up, although that is harder for me now because of an injury which makes it difficult for me to walk.
BF: What issues are pivotal for you at this time? What about China and Tibet, for example? What do you see as the most important things relentless and passionate young activists should be putting their energy into? Do you see any indications that there is a youth movement? Is it a healthy one? Considering the state of things in the world at present, what do you think is necessary to create an atmosphere that will encourage more radical activism today—How much worse does it have to get? Or is it a case of depleted energies and catastrophe/issue fatigue?
SS: We hardly have to create an atmosphere that will encourage more radical activism given the situation in Iraq and the economic, environmental and social problems surrounding us today. I think that activism is all around us. Yes, it's important to support Tibet, of course, but we have issues here at home that are vital—hurricane Katrina, survivors of which are still suffering and are scattered all over the US, the devastation in the Midwest, and the ever present issues of HIV/AIDS, sexism, racism, homophobia, economic injustice. As well as the myriad issues around immigration. Globalism is an overriding concern if these other issues are to be adequately addressed. There are all kinds of indications that a healthy youth movement is alive and well—and a healthy older movement too. The Obama campaign regardless of the nuances was built to a large extent on the need young people feel for greater social equity, for a life that has more meaning than just the number of objects you can acquire. We were lucky in a way in the Fifties and Sixties because products were not so slick and compelling and advertising was not so insidious and widespread. On the other hand while it is still in our hands we can use technology like the internet—just look at the influence of blogs, Youtube, organizations like Move On. I think people should put their energy into whatever issues move, excite, touch them most. I would recommend magazines like Colorlines, which focus on young people of color and the struggles they are engaged in at the present if you want to know what is happening now. BF: What direction does Cuba seem to be headed in from your point of view and how do you assess the "success" of the revolution?
SS: Again another very complex issue that would take a lot more than a simple answer to even begin to do justice to. When I was in Cuba in the Sixties—my last trip was in 1992—the Cubans liked to say that the rebellion succeeded in 1959 but that the revolution was an on-going process. I think we have a tendency here to think of things still in terms of beginning, middle, end instead of accepting the fact that all struggle is a process and a hugely complex one at that and ongoing. For specific information, analysis of the situation in Cuba I highly recommend a book by Margaret Randall, who figures prominently in my memoir, which will be published by Rutgers University Fall 2008 titled To Change the World: My Years in Cuba. Margaret lived in Cuba for ten years during the revolution's formative period and has much more information and analysis about the situation then and now.
BF: Can you talk about Marcuse and Hegel's ideas on individual choice and self-determination based on reason and rational thought— what kind of forces they were for you and those around you, in trying to build a world based on these principles rather than accepting the forces and facts of life as "the way things are," etc?
SS: I'm not sure how much Marcuse and Hegel were on people's minds that were struggling to fight against the many threads of repression and violence in the Sixties, particularly in the United States—which I think is the period you were referring to in this question. The catalyst would be found more in the energy and idealism of the Civil Rights Movement. The recognition that underneath the surface there were layers and layers of injustice that had to be addressed. Young people joined others already engaged in struggle who felt that two cars in every garage was not the motivation that moved them, the future they looked forward to. Marcuse's book, The One Dimensional Man, was important because it laid out the vacuousness and emptiness of the period. Marx, particularly early Marx and Marx's analysis of capitalism and his incorporation of Hegel (turned on his head) into his theory of historical determinism were more widely read and discussed, particularly in respect to the resolution of contradiction—the old thesis, antithesis, synthesis, negation of negation! A more pertinent question today I think—not putting down the gentlemen you name—would be the growth of media and advertising and its subliminal appeal to emotional needs that extend from the smallest parts of our lives—the toothpaste we buy—to electing our most important officials. BF: Can you talk about the sources of memory for this book? You mention the destroyed correspondence and pictures necessitated by the need to protect people from government surveillance?
SS: We actually never took many photos in the Sixties because we never knew how they would be used and I did destroy a great deal of my correspondence in the middle Seventies when women from the women's movement were being targeted by the grand juries. That is a whole other story. Fortunately I kept letters from Margaret Randall who I had an extensive correspondence with during the Sixties. I actually had to go to the NYU library to get my corresponding letters to her—my letters are archived there with in El Corno Emplumado collection. I had some essays and articles, which were published at the time, from which I could get valuable specifics about my trips to England and Cuba. I did some research. But for the most part relying on my memory wasn't really a problem since the incidents in the book for the most part were highlights of those years I wasn't likely to forget!
BF: What do you feel was left out of this book that in, retrospect, you wish you'd included? SS: I would have liked to have taken the book to at least 1975 to include the women's and gay liberation movements, a trip to Chile, the end of the Vietnam War and in 1975 a very important summer session at Sagaris, a feminist institute where I served on the faculty. But I felt that, as it was, there was a lot of information packed into one book. Who knows maybe some day I'll write America's Child Part Two! To repeat what I wrote in the last chapter of the book I feel what we call the Sixties really extended from the late Fifties until 1975 and that in actuality that period, even if extended, has to be viewed within a continuum of struggle in the United States. It cannot be compartmentalized. BF: Yes, I completely agree. I think books such as yours can serve as inspiration and hope for each generation of activists that come along to continue the struggle. I hope America's Child Part Two is on your front burner.

Kobe, Madden, Michael Jordan Score, But Videogame Sales, Tiger Down In 2010
January 17, 2011: Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and John Madden may have been instrumental in driving sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops, NBA 2k11 and Madden NFL 11, respectively, but even their combined star power could not prevent videogame sales in the U.S. from dropping in 2010 versus 2009.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods had to deal with his own set of issues as sales for his namesake title, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 took a steep dive due to both soft videogame category sales and Woods own brand issues.
U.S. retail sales in 2010 of new physical videogame content, which includes portable, console and PC game software, generated revenues of $10.1 billion, a 5% decline over the $10.6 billion generated in 2009.
In addition, the preliminary estimate for total consumer spend on gaming content via all monetization methods was between $15.4-$15.6 billion last year, a total consumer spend on games content in 2010 representing sales that were flat to down by as much as 1% when compared to 2009, according to marketing consultants and analysts The NPD Group, Port Washington, NY. That figure include new physical video and PC games, used games, game rentals, subscriptions, digital full-game downloads, social network games, downloadable content, and mobile game apps.
Sales of EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 were down 68% from the previous year, when Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 move more than 2.3 million copies, according to NPD. EA Sports formed an alliance with The Masters for the recently released Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 in an effort to renew interest and boost sales.
A final estimate of the total consumer spend on the games industry is scheduled to be released in March in NPD's report, Games Industry: Total Consumer Spend (2010).
"The dynamics of games content purchasing changed dramatically in 2010 with options ranging from the physical product to digital downloads on connected devices as well as in-store digital kiosks,"Anita Frazier, industry analyst for The NPD Group, said in a statement. "The increasing number of ways to acquire the content has allowed the industry to maintain total consumer spend on content as compared to 2009, and we should expect 2011 to be a growth year in the games industry as the consumer demand for gaming continues to evolve."
Call of Duty: Black Ops from Activision rose to the No. 1 spot for the entire year in just two months, taking in $360 million in retail sales on its first day of release and $550 million in its first week in November, per industry analysts. Black Ops came with an extensive national campaign, anchored by a TV spot that featured Bryant and late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel as combatants alongside civilians including executives and housewives.
Madden NFL 11 from EA Sports was the best-selling game in August, when it was released, selling more than 1.8 million copies (on PlayStation 3 and Xbox combined) for the month and No. 2 overall for the year. NBA 2K11, from Take Two/2K Sports, had Hall of Famer Michael Jordan on the cover and in the game, which drove it to the best-selling videogame during its release month of October and No. 10 for the year.
According to NPD, the ten best selling new videogames of 2010 at retail (listed with publisher) were:
1) Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision)
2) Madden NFL 11 (EA Sports)
3) Halo: Reach (Microsoft Game Studios)
4) New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo)
5) Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar Games)
6) Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo)

NPD said that based on its estimated figures, spending on new physical content at retail continues to account for the majority of the total consumer spend on games content. While overall sales were down, retail sales of PC game were up 3% in 2010. Concurrently, increases in the consumer spend on used games sales, full-game digital downloads and downloadable content, mobile gaming apps, and social network gaming offset declines in console and portable new physical game sales, rentals and subscriptions.
"December 2010 represented one of the strongest monthly performances the industry has ever had at retail. It was a robust finish to a year marked by innovation and engaging millions of consumers through a multitude of delivery models," Michael Gallagher, president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Assn., the trade group that represents U.S. computer and video game publishers, said in a statement. "Computer and videogames led all other entertainment options as we responded to consumers' demands for creative content on every platform from consoles to smart phones to handheld game devices."

Become a fan
At AAMCO Roanoke, also serving the surrounding area, we know scheduled maintenance is essential to ensure your car runs great for years to come. An oil, lube and filter change is at the top of any good techs must-do list. This is the single most important thing you should do for your car, truck or SUV on a regular basis.
A lot of outside factors can affect the frequency rate in which your vehicle will require an oil change. For example, if you are often in stop-and-go traffic, city driving or go on frequent short trips, you should likely change your oil more often as this kind of driving can work your engine a little bit harder.
To have a better understanding of what your specific vehicle requires, refer to your car's owners manual for the factory's recommendation on oil changes.
AAMCO Roanoke, also serving the surrounding area, is your one-stop shop for all of your vehicle's repairs and maintenance. From the most basic to the most complicated issues, AAMCO Roanokes expert techs have you covered. An AAMCO Full Service Oil, Lube & Filter Change also includes our 36-point Multi-Point Inspection® to ensure all major systems in your vehicle are in good working order.

Hi All,
I have one child. I used IVF and my own eggs for her. I really want a second child now and realize I will need donor eggs. I tried with my own 5 years ago but was unsuccessful. I can't shake the need for a second child.
Is it too late. Are their clinics where the recipient can be older?

New officers and a large donation were on the agenda when the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center Guild met for the annual Recognition and Installation Tea at Lakeside Golf Club on June 13.
President Kathleen Marsden wrapped up her year by presenting a check for $140,000 to Kerry L. Carmody, regional chief operating officer of Providence Health and Services, California.
The funds were raised by the fall and spring events, gift shop and card parties. The guild carried over $86,500 from the prior year and received a donation from the estate of member the late Haline Heimstadt and the total of donations for the year is almost half of the guild's pledge of $500,000 made to the Hycy and Howard Hill Neuroscience Institute, which will open soon on the fourth floor of the medical center.
In thanking the guild, Carmody said the guild provides a vital connection to the community.
"The money is fantastic," he told members. "This wouldn't happen without your passion for this ministry."
Installing officer Chik Smaldino incorporated a rhyme for each officer taking a new position. Incoming president Patt Scully's theme is "Watch Us Grow," linked to her love of gardening.
Joining Scully on the board are First Vice President Lori Riela, Second Vice President Patti Cassidy, Treasurer Sharon Reid, Recording Secretary Jill Allen and Corresponding Secretary Ann Venti.
The membership is still hoping to secure a fall event director. Other officers are Finance Director Maureen Walsh, Spring Event Director Barbara O'Kane, Gift Shop co-chairwomen Maria Balke, Jackie Van Beveren and Carol Murphy, Special Event directors Jackie Van Beveren and Claire Loughlin, Press Terry Campbell, Program co-chairwomen Terry Campbell and Marian Enos and Parliamentarian Ollie Vick.

Donation is $30, which will benefit scholarships for local high school students, Salvation Army, Burbank Corps, Burbank Temporary Aid Center, Burbank Family Service Agency, BCR "a place to grow", Foothill Service for the Blind, the State Hearing Dog Program, and Scholarships for Teachers of the Hearing Impaired.
Members graduate from leadership program
Burbank Neighborhood Leadership Program members have graduated from the program and were honored by the City Council on June 5 at City Hall.
They are Catalina Osorio, Wafa Gheir, Mary Damiani, Araceli Najar, Elle Fernandez, Rima Elhachem, Maryam Shahmoradi Zavareh, Miguel Olivares, Karla Mendoza, Gladys Velasco, Beatriz Luz, Jorge Antolin Garcia and Priscila Massey.
The goals of this grassroots leadership program, funded by the city of Burbank, are to inspire leadership, make residents resource experts, increase neighborhood ownership, build healthier neighborhoods and families and encourage long-term social health.
During the council meeting the group presented BCR "a place to grow" with a $400 donation. The team's community project was to renovate the Exercise and Music Room at BCR.

RoadieRumours is a community of professional roadcrew in the music industry. These forums are a place where it's okay to be yourself as long as you always act with respect for your fellow members as well as RoadieRumours staff. Our goal will be to treat our members as we would wish to be treated. In return, we ask that you act here as you would if you were face to face with the other members. You are not expected to leave your personality at the door. There are going to be topics and discussions that will have heated debates. Please think before you post and re-read what you type before you post it. Keep your comments limited to the debate at hand and do not make this a personal issue between you and another member.
There is tremendous diversity in age, race, gender, language, location (worldwide). There will be a lot of varying opinions on different subjects. We're all human beings and we're all drawn to this site because we have a common bond as touring personnel. We will willingly listen to your suggestions and complaints, and try to incorporate your ideas into RoadieRumours. If you come across any violations to these guidelines or have any problems navigating the site, do not hesitate to let us know, we'll be happy to address your concerns. We encourage everyone to participate in and enjoy the forums while at the same time adhering to these Guidelines:
Be Welcoming!
When newcomers arrive, welcome them to our growing community. Many of our community's senior members are a wealth of knowledge and have much to share. Help new members learn about how to find information and resources, save time, and how to get involved in the Community.
Be Courteous!
Don't attack others. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully... without insult and personal attack.
Be Cautious!
Think before you post or speak: Do you really want to put your or someone else's address or telephone number on a public discussion forum? We encourage you to keep personal information personal. In the same vein, do not ask for personal information from others. Discussion forum posts that request members to submit personal information to another party will be removed. Information that should be considered personal includes but is not limited to your home phone number, name, and age. If you must give this out for any reason, please do so privately.
Be Appropriate!
There may be places where explicit, obscene or vulgar language, graphics or behavior is appropriate however RoadieRumours is not one of them. Discussion forum posts that contain explicit, obscene or vulgar language will be removed. Similarly, discussion forum posts that solicit or offer explicit or X-rated GIFs, JPEGs or similar content files will be deleted without notice!
Be Ethical!
The RoadieRumours website: resources, articles and discussions are based on basic, appropriate professional ethical behaviour. Unethical behaviour: use of other boards member lists for PM invites, email invites, spamming, warez, license sharing, and other illegal activities are completely inappropriate and will result in the loss of membership at RoadieRumours.
No Cross-Posting
Do not post the same discussion more than once on a discussion forum or on many forums. Duplicate discussions are frustrating and counterproductive for other members, especially for those whose time and energy is limited. Duplicate discussions will be deleted.
No Advertising – Spam
Do not heedlessly place your advertisements through the Discussion Forums. This will be considered SPAM and could result in the loss of your RoadieRumours Membership. Affiliate links are not allowed within the forums. If you wish to promote a particular program then promote the program not your own affiliate tie with it.
No Abuse of PM
Private Messaging is provided to the members of RoadieRumours as a service intended to enhance the Community experience. The purpose of private messaging is to allow for discreet conversations to take place between members. This privilege is not to be abused! Solicitation, spamming, or harassment of any kind is strictly forbidden. Any member receiving an inappropriate private message should forward that message to an Administrator or Moderator immediately. Although private messages are normally only accessible by those who send and receive them, they are part of the database and as such, property of RoadieRumours. An Administrator, if so inclined, could locate the Private Messages in the database and read them. They are private, but not necessarily secret. In addition, Private Messages are not intended to deprive the Community of valuable information or experiences which could benefit the entire group. Please do not use private messages if the content of the message can be helpful to others.
No Copyrighted Material
Information copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the member should not be posted on the discussion forums without the consent of the owner. If such an event occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. RoadieRumours shall not be held responsible for member-posted information that may violate copyright law. You cannot legally post entire articles or news in the forum without permission from the copyright holder. Even if you attribute the article correctly it's still copyright infringement. Copyright law does not care if you make any money off of the work or not, what matters is if you hurt the potential income of the copyright holder. In this case you would be depriving them of ad revenue and it is illegal. Under Fair Use provisions you can legally post a small abstract of an article - or perhaps the opening paragraph. So if you want to post an article you should do this and include a link, or just post the link. The exception to this rule is press releases; press releases are meant for distribution and can be copied and distributed as much as you want. If you are not sure if you can copy something then always err on the side of caution and simply post a link to the material.
RoadieRumours Discretion
RoadieRumours and its assigned agents reserves the right to remove a post which does not relate to the topic being discussed in the forum. In addition, RoadieRumours reserves the right to organise discussion forums in order to best serve the majority of our members. For example, narrow-interest or minimal activity topics may, at our discretion, be relocated to a more appropriate discussion forum, or deleted entirely. RoadieRumours or its assigned agents also reserves the right to prohibit or delete discussions that are thought to violate applicable law or that may be harmful to other members, the websites that comprise RoadieRumours or the rights of RoadieRumours or others. That said, we cannot ensure prompt removal of offending discussion forum posts. We also reserve the right to remove your membership from you should you violate these Guidelines.
Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for RoadieRumours to review all messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that RoadieRumours does not actively monitor the contents of all posted messages and is not responsible for any messages posted. RoadieRumours does not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and is not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of RoadieRumours or any entity associated with RoadieRumours.
Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. RoadieRumours has the ability to remove objectionable messages and will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if it is determined that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realise that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately, in fact, we may not edit or delete posts that break our rules at all. We have many time constraints on us and cannot guarantee that we will be able to edit or delete posts that break the rules/user agreement. If you do not agree with this then do not view or register for RoadieRumours.
Although RoadieRumours does not and cannot review the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at RoadieRumours reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever.
