Generally emails are directly delivered to the destination server and not stored locally on the filtering machines. However if the destination server is unavailable, all email sent to known destination recipients are queued locally on the filtering servers for delivery. Emails which have been permanently rejected by the destination server with a 5xx error code, will NOT be queued and are rejected by the systems. We have a list available with SMTP Error Codes, which can be found here. If the destination mailserver acts as catch-all for the domain, no recipients will be cached and therefore email will only be queued if the valid recipients have been explicitly set as Local Recipient in the SpamExperts control panel.
You can access the email queue from the webinterface, from which you can also manually force-retry delivery of a queued message.
Messages queued for known valid recipients because of temporary problems with the destination route (for example network problems) are automatically retried for delivery at the following approximate intervals:
Messages that are frozen because of more permanent problems with the destination route (for example, the hostname not existing) are automatically retried for delivery at the following approximate intervals:
SpamExperts caches valid recipients up to 4 days. When such entry has expired, SpamExperts will not queue email for such recipients and instead temporarily reject the message so it's queued on the sending server. The sending server in such case will automaticallty retry delivery. When using the "Local Recipients" feature, no caching is involved and SpamExperts continues to accept and queue the emails for all specified recipients.
The SMTP RFC 5321 specifies a sending server must queue messages which cannot be directly delivered because of a temporary failure at the receiving end. Therefore in case of temporary issues with the email infrastructure, emails will not be bounced immediately but are instead queued on the sending server(s) and automatically retried for delivery. In case of downtime of the destination mailserver, messages are only accepted for delivery by the filtercluster if the recipient is known to be valid. Valid destination recipients are cached up to 96 hours.
When a destination server cannot be reached for 4 days, all messages will be bounced after 4 days and no new email will be accepted/queued until the destination server is back online. This 4 day period is conform the SMTP RFC. The reason it's not longer than 4 days, is because it's important for the sender to be aware that delivery of their message has been failing for 4 days so they can try and contact the recipient in another way.

A winning habit?The calendar year girdles two seasons the first of which saw us leading the field for what seemed an age and ended with an FA cup victory after going two goals down at Wembley. Victory was also achieved in the Charity Shield/Community Shield or whatever it's called these days to start this season on a positive note. The acquisition of Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal supporters optimism and after seeing Campbell in the flesh at the World Cup it seemed that we had a decent striker on our hands, and at that same world Cup we saw three of our own lift the big one. It was noticeable that we had a summer without speculation regarding the departure of our better players: could this be because no one wants them?
Although Vermaelan's form had been patchy his departure along with the loss of Sagna made it clear that we needed to purchase some defensive reinforcements to add to the promising Callum Chambers and Mathieu Debussy-clear it seems, to all but the manager who loaned out Carl Jenkinson and seemingly took the view that we can make do at mend at Centre Half.
The big move of the summer should have involved us. Cesc Fabregas' time was up at Barca and as we had a buy back clause, his return to the fold seemed an obvious decision: not so, Arsene felt that he was surplus to requirements and he opted for the Blue of that mob from West London.
With some renewed belief following our attainment of that elusive trophy we started the new season, well, badly. The worst start in years was the statistic that rang loudest.
We end the year sixth in the league having already lost 4 and drawn six and still not having beaten the so called 'rivals'. A safe passage to the knock out stages of the Champions League and a favourable draw against Monaco has to be seen as an achievement but one wonders if this squad is capable of moving forward without additions in January.
The division between supporters is as pronounced as it's ever been and the sticking point is clearly the Manager and his future at the club. This sticking point will remain stuck for some time as Arsene has a three year contract in his back pocket and whatever your view he will remain our manager until the end of this season at the very least.
I for one see Mr Wenger's tenure as a cul-de-sac and we remain down that dead end until such time as there is a change. The thing for me is that many seemed to have comfortably adapted to mediocrity and as such expectation has been recalibrated accordingly. For now we have little choice but to see where the season takes us and try to enjoy the ride and in this most mediocre of Premier League Seasons full of mediocre teams, with some of the players we do have we may just achieve something after all we have now got players who know how to win a trophy and that surely counts for something.

There's been a lot of talk about respect recently, most of it self righteous and judgemental, but it's a word that we associate with the principals of fair play that sport should stand for.
Richard Keys and others described Santi Cazorla's deliciously confident penalty in the 4-1 win against Newcastle United as disrespectful: the irony of Keys making a judgement on matters of respect was probably lost on him. Balderdash I say. Football should be entertaining and moments of skill and daring excite and enamour supporters. Santi's Pen was a moment to savour and it's certainly not the first time we have seen such hutzpah from the spot at the Arsenal.
Then there's the issue of respect towards Arsene Wenger. some say criticism of him is disrespectful full stop. I don't agree. I think criticism is part of the remit of supporting and loving your club but certainly effing and blinding is not acceptable and absolutely diminishes ones argument.
I have a view on our current manager and I give that view in what I hope is a measured and constructive way, but abuse? nope, not for me, it's not even just a matter of respect it's pretty much about manners. I also think that there has to be a degree of humour attached to the thoughts and feeling of the Arsenal fan otherwise there is a tendency to veer towards conflict.
When we hear of supporters barracking the manager or each other it further polarises opinion, but it's worth remembering that not everyone who supports the same team has the same moral compass or grasp of the rules of civility let alone the same opinion. Banners need not lead to battle and It is possible to agree to disagree, it is also possible to encourage your team even when you are discouraged by the manager.

A house divided it seems. The reason would most probably be attributable to the man at the helm. There are those that support the club and have faith in the current manager and those that support the club and have no faith in the manager.
Isn't that how civil wars generally start? a question of faith: the believers and the non believers.
One group believes that water can be turned into wine and the other can find no evidence to support that belief and what then happens is unrest which leads to conflict.
At the moment its hardly Victoria Concordia Crescit and I sense that the conflicting views currently being expressed are merely forays that will escalate until we, as a body of supporters, are at Defcon 1.
While we debate the pros and cons of our manager we need to retain that most old fashioned of values: civility.
Heated debate is fine, strident discussion is okay and bombastic badinage is healthy but once we go beyond that we may lose sight of the main issue: the fact that we all support this great club of ours, and in wanting the best for the club we may besmirch our great club's name
My position is clear: I think we need a change but I've discussed my views with those that think differently without abuse or fisticuffs I'm happy to say.
I'm not sure that ranting and arm waving on social media solves anything. I think all it does is make our support look a bit two bob.
With a fixture against last season's beaten finalists in the FA Cup on the horizon, in the only competition that we have a realistic chance of winning, I would suggest that unity be the keyword. Of course if we blow the FA Cup I doubt that there will be any kind of a ceasefire. It's going to be a long season and come May 2015 I would hope that a war of words hadn't escalated into something more damaging.

Everything is illuminated
Does Tomorrow never come?After our ignominious defeat, yet again, at the hands of a top four opponent (well it was a fellow midtable side; but you know what I mean) I can't see it being any clearer that our manager's time is up. This has been coming inexorably for a long long time and those that have chosen or felt obliged to stay loyal to a ruler bereft of former powers of success are surely now out of reasons, excuses or out and out stubbornness. If not can it be that my fellow Arsenal supporters are so wrapped up in entitlement that they think that only fans of the so called 'lesser clubs' are allowed to criticise their manager?
The facts support the view that Arsene is no longer capable of managing a club with such high expectation yet the fear of change seems to be the mantra; "who would you get to replace him?" Thats tantamount to staying with a partner because you're scared to enter the dating world. Arsene is yesterday's man-that's not personal, it's reality
When Tony Bennet has performed in the last decade he has been pretty awful but his rep has carried him through. Some think it's sacrilege to say "he's past his sell by date" but the evidence is there; he can't carry a tune anymore but his hubris makes him think that he can. By recording an LP with Lady GaGa he thinks he's still cutting edge: and in his mind he is. But his production company are happy as he makes them money. Once he was as good as his peers but not anymore and no ones told him. A Wenger parable that unfortunately rings ever true. My view is not a knee jerk reaction and I think it serves little purpose (nor is it likely) for Wenger to leave mid season. The League and the ECL are unobtainable so perhaps looking to retain the FA cup is a realistic target, but come the end of the 2014/15 season our manager needs to be on his way and the steps to appoint his successor should start now. This is not a personal issue its strictly business. I think that Arsene is fundamentally a decent man but he needs to leave and the shame of it is that he will leave as a failure: a man who did not adapt his philosophy and could no longer match his rivals. A bright man with a dimmed reputation. Come 2015/16 the show must go on but crucially with another ringleader. Surely that is now a reality that is as clear as day.

The Changing Man On Shifting Sands
Could it be true that Wenger doesn't nurture young players as the myth suggests? It could be said that he Slings them into high pressure situations, plays them out of position or loans them out if they show promise in the first team.
Is it fair to say that Evert year we qualify for a tournament we have no chance of winning and every year we get blown away by a team at some point in the competition showing that we are ill equipped? Everyyear there is no adaptation made to deal with our inferiority either tactically or in team selection. Some might say that repeating mistakes year after year is a sign of arrogance, complacency, stubbornness or even incompetence. Does the fact that we still have a vociferous majority arguing that everything is rosy as long as we qualify each year make sense? Is it acceptance or lack of ambition? Listening to those that will have no truck with rational criticism of Wenger one need not even go back as far as the Champions League final to raise questions about Wenger's stewardship but in the last 9 years there's a strong argument that we've seen error strewn management (both at manager level and, to be fair to Arsene, at board level) We have witnessed some of The Arsenal's heaviest defeats under Wenger; 6-1,8-2, 6-2,6-3,5-0 Selling RVP to ManUtd Not buying Fabregas Not replacing Vermaelen Selling Pires,Gilberto,Lauren, Campbell too soon Selling Edu,Gilberto,Diarra one after the other leaving us light in central midfield Losing Cole over a trifling amount Turning down Yaya Tourre Dropping Lehman for Almunia Sticking with Diaby,Denilson,Eboue,Bendtner Mis-managing Arshavin,Özil,Reyes, Buying players such as Santos, Park,Bischoff, Silvestre Loaning out players that had shown promise like Jenkinson and Gnabry Time and again offering nothing from the bench and systematically playing players out of position Not addressing obvious problems Picking up the big bucks and not producing yet trying to paint a picture of success The list is a long one and not counterbalanced by success. Without rewriting history is there also an argument to say that the reason that top top players liked Wenger (past tense) was that for Henry, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Campbell, Lehman, Gilberto etc. Wenger had, to a great extent, just let them get on with it? They had captains all over the field and simply had to say to each other "we are better than the opposition let's go and do it' which by and large they did. But Wenger had the advantage of the back four to guide the newcomers and access to a golden era of French footballers. Some might argue that he just held training and the team virtually picked itself. No crazy experiments a basic 4-4-2 was perfect for that team. There are those that say Arsene is smoke and mirrors and has only, employed effective pragmatic tactics twice in 18 years: at home to Real Madrid 2006 and the 2005 FA cup final. For some the summer has been the tipping point. After just winning the FA Cup it felt like we were ready to push on and it was glaringly obvious where we needed to change the squad. Then came the World Cup and we saw how progressive management has worked and that the Spanish philosophy had been replaced and there were fears that Wenger doesn't have the capacity to adapt or be progressive in his thinking. Could it be that I that we were doomed under him as all the proper managers will have taken note of the changes in world football while Wenger would stubbornly dig his heels in trying to prove his approach would work? If one says that until he goes we remain treading water does that make it a negative view or a valid observation? The frustration is we have three more years of Arsene and the preceding nine may have been a slow process of bamboozle. Each year the hope of better days gives fans a bit of "maybe this time" and one year becomes five and five a decade with the same thing happening again and again like Groundhog Day: spin and false promises anyone?
Also remember that as poor as we were at the end of George Graham's tenure and given how bizarre some of Graham's Choices had been we still won trophies because he was a better tactician than Wenger - 93 FA & League Cup 94 ECWC and the year he left in 95 we got to the ECWC final again with his set of players under Houston. So let's have a bit of context.
What I don't get is how there is such a strong unwavering support for Wenger: a support that brooks no questioning of the, as if to do some makes you an enemy of the state. Mourinho, Rodgers, Pellegrini and Europe's elite love it that Wenger manages Arsenal because as long as he does we are no threat. Frankly with our potential:infrastructure,revenue,location, history and tradition the Arsenal could be an elite club in three years with an ideology change that in afraid means parting company with our present manager. As London's greatest club we could be massive and that should have happened: the invincible as the springboard. Honestly the potential our club has is unbelievable. Inferiority is now somewhat entrenched as can be seen in the immutable facts of our 5 year record against the top four:
P 15 W1 L 14 D1 F15 A42 that's 4 points from a possible 45. If these statistics are not of concern then there's something wrong.
Last season Chelsea went to Anfield to play a Liverpool team that were flying: they parked the bus and did a smash and grab leaving with 3 points and derailing Liverpool's tittle aspirations. It was a great disciplined performance planned on the training field and executed perfectly on the pitch. Chances of our manager doing the same against the big teams that we've struggled against? Don't be silly! I can't abide Chelsea but Mourinho loves playing against Wenger as he knows that when it comes to setting a team up for a particular task Wenger's record is poor. The sight of Mourinho smugly ducking down the tunnel at the final whistle secure in another victory against The Arsenal (more specifically against Wenger) is stomach turning but he's had plenty of practice.
So there you have it; I believe a change is necessary, that doesn't mean I'm having a go at Mr Wenger: as a human being Arsene is worth ten of Mourinho but this is The Arsenal and we need more and deserve more because one thing is clear: we have all been oh so patient. For me that patience is at an end but the reality is that there will probably be no change until Arsene's contract expires and I hope that we do not lose further ground. Let's not forget that the Arsenal are a great club and should aspire to great things. Mediocrity doesn't suit us

The Shield
Silverware, that all important commodity in football. Silverware: when you don't have it, it becomes a stick to be beaten with, when you do it's all about what sort of silverware it is it seems. When is winning not winning?When it's the Arsenal apparently. Let's get things in perspective shall we? There are only four trophies that can be won by an English club and another two which you can compete for if you win one of the four (The Super Cup & the Community Shield) in real terms that's not many pieces of Silverware available. I contend that there were eighteen other Premier Clubs who would have been somewhat chuffed to have won the Community Shield as a result of having won the FA cup, and many more from the other leagues probably feel the same. So why not enjoy it? Why not crack a smile? Why not swig some Champagne?
No Arsenal supporter believes that the Community Shield is anything more than it is and the players certainly won't be getting carried away but you know what? We won it pure and simple and like every other team who have won it, it will appear in the Start of Season Squad photo sitting alongside the FA Cup.
That we beat the League Champions is nothing to be sniffed at and please don't buy into this 'B-Team' nonsense, Manchester City have a squad of expensive players consisting of Internationals and experienced players: a club with their wealth does not have a B-Team believe me.
Had City won Pelligrini would no doubt have talked about strength in depth and overlooked the missing World Cup Winners Ozil, Mertersacker & Podolski and the recovering Theo Walcott.
I always prefer it when the Arsenal are getting criticised by all and sundry, and of late we have had no success to shut the mouths of the critics but this time we have, after all winning is the name of the game and with this group of players who knows? It may just become a habit

BT Bite Back
BT Sport don't seem to like us much, then again why should they be any different? There Premier League advertising campaign features the Arsenal enduring heavy defeats and seems to show a general gloating from the participants avidly watching and listening to the games. Many on social media have harrumphed and pouted about this ant Arsenal bias. As for me? Not a problem. Let the players and manager watch the adverts and remind themselves what those humiliations felt like. Let them gird their loins and makes themselves determined to reverse those score lines.
During the 90/91 Season George Graham gave a speech at London Colney to the Arsenal squad following our points deduction after victory at Old Trafford.
"It's always been fashionable to get at the Arsenal" he said and went on to rouse the listening squad.
These adverts should have the same effect.
Never mind that the two clubs featured hammering us won nothing that season and that we are one of only two clubs who won anything. Never mind what might have been, we need to put those embarrassments in the bin by turning up against the other members of the top four and giving them a bit of payback. A dish served cold is always the best answer in these situations. So thanks BT sport for putting the ammunition in the Gunners' cannon!

Life After Arsenal
Now that England have jettisoned some of the unsavoury characters that made watching them unbearable I could quite get into sitting back with a beer cheering them on in Brazil (especially Jack and Alex) but it's not the same as watching the Arsenal.
I also look forward to the great players: some known and some to make their mark at this most special of World Cups but it's not the same as watching the Arsenal.
The play offs were quite entertaining and if they are low on quality they are always full of drama but it's not the same as watching the Arsenal.
I always look on The Champions League Final with a sense of envy: it really is the most magical of games and the elation that greeted Bale's goal was special but it's not the same as watching the Arsenal.
Wimbledon produces some moments of drama and incident and in terms of a British tournament it retains its quintessential status but it's not the same as watching the Arsenal.
The Community Shield on 9th August and the first leg of a Playoff round of the Champions League 10/11 days later mean an early start for the Arsenal this season and I for one can't wait to see the Arsenal on that Wembley turf, because in sports terms there are many great events and many great stars but you know what? Nothing beats watching the Arsenal

The overall feeling I have regarding Manchester City winning the Premier League is not antipathy, joy or resentment: its indifference. Another team in blue win the league with an expensively assembled squad. Okay that's the reality of the Premier League as evidenced by Chelsea previously and Blackburn before them. City won the league fair and square so there you go. Anything but victory I believe would have been seen as failure as the squad they have is clearly the best in the land.
What their Title means is that, as they have won the League Cup also, there can only be two clubs with something to show for 2013/14: Manchester City and of course Hull City or The Arsenal.
Don't try and tell me that there are not 18 Premier clubs and the rest from the lower leagues who wouldn't want to be striding out onto the Wembley turf come Saturday at 5:00. In a glass half empty world Arsenal failed to retain our place at the top this season, for want of a couple of additions and a bit of fortune as regards injury. From a glass half full perspective we closed the gap on those teams above us considerably from past seasons and now have an opportunity to claim that famous Trophy at the weekend.
On Saturday it's a psychological test above all else, a test of the teams ability to have the appropriate mind set. Our psychological frailties need to be consigned to the past and yes we have shown a mental fragility this season. What other explanation is there for the following statistic?
Arsenal v the top 3
Away: P-3 W-0 L-3 D-0 F-4 A-17
Home: P-5 W-2 L-1 D-2 F-4 A-3
We need to get our minds right and approach the game with confidence that we are better than Hull City, not arrogance: confidence and certainly no fear.
Let's book our place in the Community Shield and lets be one of the two teams with something to be proud of this season: that all to hard to come by trophy.

"I've had to tackle many challenges on and off the pitch, but nothing prepared me for this"
Former Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas has endured plenty of physical and emotional tests, but he reveals his shock at discovering he had life-threatening pneumonia
When Gareth Thomas's partner woke to hear him sobbing downstairs in the early hours of the morning, he knew something was terribly wrong. The Welsh rugby legend, who has 100 caps to his name, endured physical batterings on the pitch during his 17-year sporting career, but at that moment he'd been brought to his lowest physical ebb by undiagnosed pneumonia.
"Every injury I've been through in my playing days, and I've had quite a few - broken ribs, a broken arm and even a mini stroke due to a blow to my head - were nothing compared to the excruciating pain in my side that I felt every time I coughed or took a breath. Pneumonia's the one thing I've had that I thought could have actually killed me," says Thomas (41), who's supporting pneumonia awareness campaign, Expect the Unexpected.
Pneumonia, an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection, can affect people of any age, and every year kills more than 50,000 UK adults.
The drama began for the retired sportsman while he was in panto rehearsals last December following a nationwide tour promoting his book, Proud: My Autobiography. In it he detailed the courageous decision in 2009 to come out as gay, making him one of very few top sportsmen to do so.
"It had been a relentless schedule travelling and talking about the book was emotionally demanding. Then immediately after that I started rehearsals to play Dandini in Cinderella," he says at his home in Wales, which he shares with his partner of two years Ian Baum.
"I still train regularly - even though I retired four years ago - have a healthy diet and regarded myself as a fit 40-year-old who was more than able to cope with pressure and hard work. I believed I would simply fight off what I thought was just a cold that I couldn't seem to shift."
By the time the pantomime opened, though, his cough was so bad he was desperately trying to control it while on stage.

"We were doing two shows a day and I didn't want to let the rest of the cast down. So I'd have coughing fits backstage and then try to keep them in check while I performed," he says.
His GP had reassured him it was just the tail-end of a nasty cold.
"As a man, you don't want to look weak and so you feel you should just man-up and tough out illness. As the month wore on, I think I'd gradually gotten used to feeling ill, despite the fact I was struggling to get out of bed every day."
Finally, two weeks before Christmas the pain in his side, caused by the fast-developing infection, became unbearable.
"In the early hours of the morning, I went downstairs because I couldn't sleep and was in so much pain I was convinced I'd broken a rib through coughing so much. It was just like the pain I'd experienced after a tackle if I'd suffered a cracked or broken rib. Finally, I just broke down and sobbed because I was so exhausted, in agonising pain and unable to sit or lie down, and so tired of being ill," he says.
Baum insisted on taking him to hospital, where to Thomas's "shock" he was diagnosed with pneumonia.
"It took them about 10 seconds to diagnose me. The consultant tapped my chest and on the right side I could hear a hollow sound, but when he tapped the left side there was a dull thud because it was basically full of fluid. Even so, when he said it was pneumonia, I couldn't believe it. I was so ignorant about it that I thought only elderly people or those weak because of illness got it."
He was immediately given intravenous antibiotics, high-strength painkillers and an oxygen mask to assist his breathing and help decongest the mucus. If left untreated, pneumonia can cause oxygen levels in the body to fall and when the body's tissues, especially the heart and brain, don't get enough oxygen, confusion, heart failure, coma and eventually death may result.
Initial symptoms can be hard to distinguish from a lingering cold, so people are being urged to keep an eye on colds that don't clear up and may be accompanied by a cough, thick mucus tinged with blood, a fever, chest pain and shortness of breath, and to seek medical advice if they are worried.
"It was very frightening for me and also for Ian and my family. I remember lying in bed feeling so thankful for all the training I'd done over the years because I think that strength and stamina definitely helped save my life. The trouble is, this is a silent killer which just creeps up on you," Thomas says.
He spent 10 days in hospital and another week convalescing at home.
"I still felt fragile, but after that I recovered quickly and even managed to get back to the panto," says Thomas, who will get the Pneumovax vaccine every five years from now on.
Although the jab won't stop you getting pneumonia, it will prevent the infection developing into a life-threatening blood infection, and is available on the NHS for over 65s and those with chronic diseases or who've previously had pneumonia.
"I feel privileged to be in a position, as a well-known sports person, to be able to back a health campaign like this which could save lives. We all need to be so much more aware of this life-threatening illness and to help people recognise the signs early and get medical treatment quickly."

Larry Craig
Craig has spent $201,420 in campaign cash on his defense
WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Larry Craig has spent more than $200,000 so far on lawyers to clear his name of a misdemeanor guilty plea, according to reports filed with the Federal Elections Commission.
The Idaho Republican spent $174,738 on legal help in the final three months of 2007, bringing his total to $201,420. That includes $53,608 for Stan Brand, the Washington, D.C., lawyer who is handling the Senate Ethics Committee investigation into Craig's conduct last summer, when he was arrested in a sex sting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.
In the final three months of the year, Craig spent $99,095 of his campaign money with Sutherland, Asbill and Brennan, the Washington law firm that's home to Billy Martin, the lead lawyer in Craig's effort to overturn his guilty plea to disorderly conduct in connection with the sting. Craig also spent $22,032 with Kelly and Jacobson, the Minneapolis law firm assisting Martin with the appeal.
Martin's spokeswoman, Judy Smith, would not comment Friday on the FEC filing, but did say appeals are "very, very expensive." Brand did not return a phone call from the Statesman. Craig's office has refused since Sept. 19 to answer questions from the newspaper.
The FEC generally allows lawmakers to use money from their campaign accounts to pay their legal expenses, as long as the bills stem from actions they took as officeholders.
Craig's overall legal tab in connection with his arrest and its fallout totals $201,420, according to his two most recent FEC filings. Most of that money has gone toward his long-shot appeal of his guilty plea, which is pending in the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
In June, an undercover officer arrested Craig in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport as part of an investigation into complaints of sex acts in the restrooms. The investigator said that Craig tapped his feet and ran his hand under the stall - signals the officer interpreted as expressing interest in sex. Craig mailed in his guilty plea Aug. 1, without ever consulting a lawyer.
The news of Craig's arrest didn't break until Aug. 27. Less than a week later, Craig called a news conference to say he intended to resign. But he changed his mind and said he would stay in the Senate through the end of his term, saying he wanted to clear his name by appealing his guilty plea and fighting the ethics investigation.
It is less apparent what sort of legal work Brand has done for Craig on the ethics investigation. The Senate Ethics Committee will not disclose the status of Craig's case, and the financial records do not offer those details.
The committee's members did release an end-of-the-year report Thursday, though, and in it said that it had five ethics investigations from 2007 that it has carried over into 2008. The committee's report did not disclose which senators remain under investigation. There is no indication other than Brand's legal bills that the committee has made any progress on Craig's investigation.
Craig's FEC report shows that with just under a year left to go in office, he still has $289,505 remaining in his campaign account.
He took in three donations the last three months of 2007:
$500 from businessman Robert Karr of Arco.
$2,500 from the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Political Action Committee.
$11,645 from a fundraising committee set up to help GOP senators who face re-election this year. That money was pledged to Craig at a Republican fundraiser in April, although he and other senators did not receive it until this fall.

Surfrider Foundation Championing A "Strawless Summer" In The Hamptons
Anastasia Lennon
Print Article
Last year, a video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw lodged in its nasal passage went viral. For eight minutes, marine biologists struggle (and eventually succeed) in removing a 10 centimeter plastic straw from the sea turtle's nose. Although the video may be hard to watch as the turtle writhes in discomfort (and is likely in pain), it brings into stark relief the deleterious impact our seemingly trivial consumer choices have on other forms of life.
Starting in 2017, campaigns like Strawless in Seattle, For A Strawless Ocean, and #StopSucking spread in waves over social media. Thousands of users posted photos using friendly alternatives like bamboo, steel, and glass straws and many celebrities, including Adrien Grenier (of Lonely Whale),
Russell Wilson
, Ellen Pompeo,
Amanda Seyfried
, and
Alicia Silverstone
have taken to social media to spread the word.
This July, Seattle will ban single-use plastic straws after having removed 2.3 million plastic straws in its September 2017 campaign and more recently, there have been talks in the UK of banning not only plastic straws, but other one-use items that we tend to use and jettison without much thought.
Among these items, though, remains the plastic straw. Having gained much attention globally as a not-so-innocuous item, the plastic straw has become the symbol of a greater movement - one that The
Foundation's Eastern Long Island Chapter has decided to spotlight with its
Strawless Summer
2018 initiative.
The Eastern Long Island chapter began its process by reaching out to local restaurants and communicating the urgent need to address plastic use. Participating restaurants that agree to take part are required to: go completely strawless; provide biodegradable options such as bamboo and paper, but only upon request; or provide reusable alternatives such as glass or metal.
In return, the chapter will celebrate these restaurants that are pledging to make straws an "item of the past" by providing window decals that will make patrons aware of their participation, social media blasts, and inclusion in a press release later this summer. The restaurant will also be featured on a map on the foundation's site, which marks the location of all participating eateries with a blue sea turtle.
"It's just a matter of planting that seed within their minds to know that plastic straws aren't exactly necessary anymore," said Colleen Henn, Clean Water Coordinator at the Foundation's Eastern Long Island Chapter.
"We were starting just by calling it Strawless Summer to kind of speak to the urgency and get restaurants switched over by the summer time," she explained. "We're envisioning kind of an endless strawless summer. All the restaurants we've spoken to plan to switch for good so that's amazing."
The straw is the simple first step that opens the door to thinking about what other small, easy changes can be made. Henn shared that some restaurants have already begun asking what they can do next.
"Surfider has a program called Ocean Friendly Restaurants and it is meant to be very inclusive and targets primarily plastics use," she revealed. "We're using Strawless Summer as more or less an easy way to appeal to restaurants and hopefully down the line we'll be able to cultivate some kind of interest in the restaurant community to say, 'we switched over from plastic straws, that was really easy. Let's consider plastic utensils now.'"
Additionally, for those who may think a single plastic straw cannot have a measurable impact, there is an environmental impact that cannot be denied.
"Any time a piece of plastic is in the marine environment, it will break down into smaller pieces and won't ever really dissolve," said Henn, who has an education in environmental sciences and marine ecology. "It enters the food chain and that can affect the marine life that eat it, but also us - the 'big fish' who eat the 'little fish.' The chemicals accumulate in the living tissue of the fish, and then we eat that. What goes in the ocean goes in us."
"What we're trying to do is be able to provide people with different options and educate them that plastic isn't necessary, reusable is better," said Henn.
The Eastern Long Island Chapter is also working on creating a database of alternatives for restaurants to refer to, and currently lists some straw alternatives on its website. So far, over a dozen restaurants have pledged to be a part of Strawless Summer.
For the restaurants that haven't pledged, Henn has some simple advice for how you can still make a difference when eating out: ask for no straw.
To celebrate this movement, the
Surfrider Foundation
's Eastern Long Island Chapter is hosting a formal launch party to ring in the straw-free summer at Provisions Natural Foods and Cafe (7 Main Street, Sage Harbor) on Tuesday, May 1. From 6 to 8 p.m., there will be drinks and two screenings of
an award-winning documentary narrated by Oscar-winning actor, Tim Robbins. The suggested donation for the film viewing is $5.

Iran's Weapons of Mass Destruction
June 1, 2006
There is no simple or reliable way to characterize Iran's ability to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and the means to deliver them. Iran is clearly attempting to acquire long-range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, but it has never indicated that such weapons would have chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear warheads. Iran has never properly declared its holdings of chemical weapons, and the status of its biological weapons programs is unknown. And, although the Iranian leadership has consistently argued that its nuclear research efforts are designed for peaceful purposes, Iran's actions have raised serious concerns about its nuclear ambitions.
This latest work by Anthony Cordesman and Khalid Al-Rodhan covers all facets of Iran's weapons of mass destruction. The authors analyze Iran's motivation for acquiring WMD capabilities; the history of its WMD program; its chemical, biological, and nuclear capabilities; and its delivery options, including its missile program, air force, and Revolutionary Guards. They also examine the spectrum of diplomatic and economic sanctions available to make Iran comply with the UN Security Council, as well as military options and the different ways Iran might respond. In addition, the authors explore the geostrategic implications of these options on regional stability, energy security, and the struggle against terrorism. Up to date through May 2006, this is the most current and comprehensive reference available on Iran's weapons of mass destruction.
Anthony H. Cordesman holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS. He is also a national security analyst for ABC News, a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and the BBC, and the author of more than 40 books on U.S. security policy, energy policy, and the Middle East, including Iran's Developing Military Capabilities (CSIS, 2005). Khalid R. Al-Rodhan is research fellow with the Burke Chair and coauthor with Cordesman of several books on energy security and military strategy, including Gulf Military Forces in an Era of Asymmetric War (Praeger/CSIS, forthcoming).

Reusable design components, multiple security groupings and reliable performance are some advantages of Microsoft Active Directory, while its high cost and inability to recover from hardware failure are some of its disadvantages. These types of benefits and issues make it a good fit with large enterprises.
Active Directory is flexible, enabling system architects to define elements such as computers, network servers, locations, security groups and staff in a way suited to a particular organization. One of its strongest features in large entities is the ability to perform software upgrades to all computers in an enterprise. Administrators create policies to schedule the regular distribution of security updates. Other policies track software versions and ensure consistency throughout the business.
Active Directory controls access to individual machines or cloud-hosted software using authentication. It enables granular security and privacy options, critical in cases of government-mandated privacy and audit requirements. Active Directory includes domains that allow partitioning of higher security groups from the rest of the network, such as separating the data from a state police group from general state information. It is scalable, allowing administrators to enlarge or reduce its structure as the need arises.
Active Directory includes security vulnerabilities identified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Those require frequent correction as technological advances occur promoting new cyber-attack methods.

Bible Studies
The Bible is more than an incredible book of history and moral teachings; we believe the Bible is the literal Word of God, infallible, complete, authoritative, and written through the divine inspiration of God Himself. That's why we can confidently look to the Bible for instruction and guidance for our day-to-day lives.
We offer many opportunities here for people to study the Bible together—including options for those who are looking into Scripture for the first time.

The other day Steve posted the first images from "Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done", which is set to premier at the Toronto Film Festival next month, and now a trailer for the film has gone online (link after the jump). The film stars Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Udo Kier, and Michael Pena.
The trailer is cut to make the film look like a straightforward thriller that leaves out the whodunit and replaces it with the whydunit, but the synopsis and the Werner Herzog name tell me this will be anything but straightforward:
Inspired by true events, "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done", is a story of ancient myth and modern madness. Brad Macallam, an aspiring actor performing in a Greek tragedy, commits the crime he is to enact in the play by killing his mother. The mystery unfolds in a series of flashbacks displaying the psychological destruction of the killer set off by an ill-fated white-water kayaking trip in a distant land.
Oh yes, and the film is being "Presented by" David Lynch, who I doubt would lend his name to anything that didn't wholly embrace the bizarre. It all seems very meta and I definitely dig the vibe.
Toronto will be busy for Herzog, who is also premiering "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" at the festival.

LensRentals.com – Hammerforum.com
April 10, 2012
Sharp criticism of enthusiast forums of ALL kinds.
LensRentals.com – Hammerforum.com.
Not as bad as I originally thought.
December 6, 2011
I just had an interesting experience arc. I saw the following headline:
"Hack a Manual Cheese Grater to Run via Cordless Drill"
and immediately thought that someone was shooting for last minute entry into the 2011 Darwin Awards.
Heading over to the original page, however, the idea seems less "death wish" and more "Tim the Toolman Taylor".
Now, I'm sort of considering buying a cheese grater, and adding an old lawnmower engine. 50CC's of cheese grating power. That's what I'm talking about.

Mandala Stone painting has very similar meditative benefits to adult colouring, plus these additional ones too:
- You use your own creativity
- Increases your inner focus
- Self calming and soothing
- Is highly addictive
- Ability to reduce anxiety and depression
- Can make a beautiful keepsake for your home.

Retirement has transformed into much more than simply the light at the end of your career's tunnel. Today, retirement consists of something different for everyone—it could include picking up a new hobby, taking on a less demanding role at work, spending more time with family, volunteering, traveling the world and much more. Retirement can take on many forms and with life spans continually increasing, retirees are enjoying more time in this phase of their lives.
Wherever retirement takes you, you will want a comprehensive financial strategy in place to continue your lifestyle and ensure you have the resources you may need. According to the 2017 Retirement Confidence Survey by EBRI, just 6 out of 10 American workers felt very or somewhat confident in their ability to retire comfortably with enough money. Those who have a retirement plan, such as a defined contribution plan, defined benefit plan, or IRA, are much more likely to feel confident on having the money to retire comfortably.1
How to afford a comfortable retirement remains to be one of the top financial concerns of most individuals.2 Whether you are starting out in your career or a few years out from your desired retirement date, there is plenty to consider on how to contribute to your retirement goals. Several topics to reflect on include:
Identifying several goals for your retirement is crucial in developing your overall strategy. What will your retirement look like? Consider if you will want to continue working and earning an income or if you would rather spend your time doing other things you enjoy. While your plans may change over the years, identifying your goals ahead of time can help you to better prepare for unforeseen events. Another item to factor into your retirement strategy is how to reduce any outstanding debts you may be carrying into retirement. Prioritize taking care of your debt ahead of time to relieve stress in the future.
Factoring into your overall strategy will also be which retirement funding options you will utilize and where your income will come from. If you are already contributing through a specified retirement funding option, are you saving enough? Should you increase your contributions or consider supplemental options to utilize? You have a number of options for your retirement income to be comprised from, including Social Security, pension plan, 401(k) or 403(b), IRAs, Roth IRAs, personal savings and investments, annuities, life insurance, continued employment and more. How will you plan for your sources of income and factor those into your budget?
Whether it is helping out a child who has moved home, helping to fund a grandchild's college education or helping to financially support the health care costs of an aging parent, many retirees are supporting themselves while also helping out loved ones. Providing financial support to loved ones can often be an unexpected cost, yet preparing for the possibility can help keep your savings on track and your retirement strategy in place.
Retirement often leads individuals to reconsider where they want to settle down. Where will retirement take you? Will you downsize or remain in your current residence? Will you move somewhere new? Items to take into consideration include whether you would like to be closer to family, if you would prefer a smaller home with less maintenance or if you would like to relocate to a more accommodating climate.

Remembering Steve Sabol Through the Music of Sam Spence
It was like a most unexpected kick in the gut when I heard the news of Steve Sabol passing yesterday. If you know anything at all about the NFL (National Football League) then you know, at least, of the work of Steve Sabol and his father Ed Sabol. The two launched NFL Films way back in the 1960s and unwittingly set the NFL on a trajectory of popularity that no one could have anticipated.
Mike Greenberg of ESPN's Mike and Mike In the Morning, used the best word possible in describing what Ed and Steve Sabol did through their amazing camera work, editing, the unmistakable voice-talent of John Facenda and the inspirational music of Sam Spence. They made the games of the NFL mythic events and the players mythic heroes. NFL Films has done for football players as much as Marvel and DC have done. They have all given us modern-day myths; tales of challenge, heroism, bravery, defeat, brokenness, determination, restoration and victory. We shared these moments, these stories, with our fathers, and with our children. Somehow the stories about "a game" have become woven into the culture of this nation: The Ice Bowl, The Immaculate Recption, The Catch, Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Red Grange, The Monsters of the Midway all would be fading memories of the preceding generation without the work of Steve Sabol. What an astounding and unexpected legacy to have.
I recall spending many-a Super Bowl eve watching NFL Films presentation of every single Super Bowl leading up to the live game that Sunday. Steve Sabol introduced each one and so I felt like he was a mentor, a keeper of the lore of the NFL, and yearly telling us the unforgettable stories of the gridiron. The images and sounds they created are more like memories of personal experiences, as if I had attended each of those games, more than they are of watching a television program. There aren't many television show producers or film directors that I can say the same about.
So it's with a rather profound amount of sadness that I right this post and perhaps even greater sadness that all of the tributes and notes of thanks being poured out everywhere cannot be heard by Steve himself. I, like many others, I'm sure, wish they had known about his illness so all of these expressions of love and thanks could have been given to him prior to yesterday.
In any event, we re-present our special feature THE THEMES OF FALL: The Music of Football and Film as a tribute to the great Steve Sabol.

Without a turn toward hard money, the odds are that the world's dependence on the Greenback will not decline but presumably grow even more in the years to come.
Only gradually, the damage becomes visible. Economic growth is dwindling; political conflicts over income distribution are increasing; the state becomes more and more powerful.

Let's set aside the politically tempting task of speculating about what might happen in the event of a No Deal Brexit, what can we say with certainty will happen?

The Keynesian obsession with avoiding deflation and pushing consumer spending has led to a serious decline in savings and capital accumulation.

In adopting a noninterventionist foreign policy which is crucial to restoring constitutional government, it is impossible to be both a budget hawk and a war hawk.
Five names seem to be emerging as the consistent front runners in the race to become the next head of Britain's central bank.

Orange Magic (Carrot Ginger and Orange Soup)
This is one of the craziest thing i have ever tried. I would never have thought of trying carrot with ginger or orange. It is unbelievably delicious. I would like to hug the person who first made this recipe :D
To be honest I had some leftover carrots and Orange and I was wondering if I can make a smoothie out of it. But for dinner i want some new soup to taste. Then ended up trying this recipe. Only after making this i realized I have carrot recipes for soups,
:) Yayyyy !! :)
This is such a wonderful combination . It has sweetness from carrots, Little spice from ginger, and a wonderful citrus tart flavor from orange :) I really recommend to try this recipe.
It is very simple to make. This goes into my
page :)
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 20 - 25 mins
Serves - 2
- Oil / Butter - 1 tbsp
- Ginger - 1 inch piece
- Carrots - 3 large
- Chopped Onions - 1 cup
- Orange - 1
- Sour cream / Cultured Yogurt - for dressing (Optional)
- Coriander leaves - for garnishing
- salt and black pepper/ Cayenne pepper - to taste
- Milk - 1/4 cup
In a pan, melt butter and saute ginger and onions until it turns color.
Then to that roughly chopped big chunks of carrots and again saute it for a minute, then to that add water, salt, pepper and mix then bring it to boil and let it cook until the carrots are tender.
Once the carrots are cooked let it cool down little bit and blend it in a mixture to that squeeze the Orange juice and give it a mix and strain the soup using a filter. Finally garnish it with minced coriander leaves, cultured yogurt or sour cream.
- You can add more orange juice if you like, choose an orange which is juicy
- Before adding pepper give a taste test as ginger gives some spice to the soup and add pepper accordingly.
- I did not peel the carrot skin I dint want to waste the fiber in its skin. If you wish to you can

MeeGo, the Linux-based operating system co-developed by Nokia and Intel, has reached the 1.1 milestone and now includes an interface for mobile phones, but despite recent interest in tablet PCs, a tablet distribution remains absent.
MeeGo is being targeted at a variety of devices including phones, netbooks, televisions and even in-vehicle entertainment systems.
The most significant feature of the 1.1 release is the inclusion of the Handset UX (user experience).
The Handset UX "technology snapshot" implements basic mobile phone apps for voice calling, text messaging, Web browsing, photo viewing and multimedia playback.
MeeGo is tipped to replace Symbian on high-end Nokia devices and become the company's flagship mobile operating system to compete with Apple's iPhone and Google's Android.
MeeGo-based mobile devices from Nokia won't appear until 2011, the company's CEO confirmed last month.
MeeGo 1.2, scheduled for April 2011, will include a Handset UX release with "a complete set" of applications and support for "other device usage models" say its developers.
A MeeGo tablet UX has already been demonstrated, but at this stage of its development no clear product release has been confirmed.
Also included as part of the 1.1 release is an updated netbook UX (the first was released with version 1.0) and a UX for IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment).
The IVI UX features speech recognition software, a multimedia player and software from open source automotive projects.
The MeeGo Netbook user experience now integrates Google Chrome (and the open source Google Chromium) Web browser.
All of MeeGo's UXs are built on top of the Core Software Platform, which resembles a typical Linux software stack, including the 2.6.35 kernel, X.org 1.9, Qt 4.7, PulseAudio and BTRFS.
MeeGo will continue its six-month release cycle and a roadmap with 1.2 features will be published by the developers soon.
