Can an anti-social cat become social?
Hi members,
I'm writing this on behalf on a friend that has a cat (adult) that dislikes other cats and dogs. For now that cat is living with another cat because roomates just joined so their cats joined...but they don't get along well and it seems the cat needs to be in its own space. The cats owner is also a dog lover and would love to get a dog....but the cat hates dogs.
ADDED BY ADMIN - both cats are females around 5 years of age and spayed.
I've recommended holding off on the dog for now and possibly concentrating on the existing cat becoming a better friend to see how that goes. I've also suggested swapping the cat's scents, very slow introductions with cat gates as well as feliway, and rescue remedy.
But i guess I wanted to know - are there some cats that simply remain antisocial despite our best efforts? Or can most cats be slowly socialized if it it done well?
many thanks!

Remember Nino? I remember Lorraine telling me that he really didn't like other cats and she was worried about him moving in with us! Well, he was pretty defensive for a while, but he really improved when I got him his calming collar and then I got one for Bobee as well and that really helped.
You know it sounds strange but our move, the first one, seemed to make a big change in him. I don't know what about it did but he's pretty much a normal kitty now. Him a nd Bobee still get into the odd arguement..I really wish he wouldn't scream though, still scares the you know what outta me!! It has the desired effect on Bobee though!
Now he's a real lover boy. Except I really don't need him wanting to molest me when it's 33 here!!
I think maybe if the owners don't make a big deal out of the odd spat they might have. Nino and Bobee can sound like they're killing each other, but Bayley usually intervenes. If Bobee is being a real snark, he has his moments where I think he thinks he has to rule the roost, I'll put him in the bathroom to cool his jets for a few minutes. It's really funny sometimes if Nino screams at him, I think he gets really upset and starts sneezing!!
It's funny too when Noella arrived, Nino took to her with no problem. She learned quickly not to bug him though. He's pretty fast with the smacks! Now though the last few nights since we moved to Medicine Hat and it really cools down at night..Nino and Noella have been chasing each other around! I thought AHA!! You little (big) sneak! He's sooo funny to watch play, I swear he gets embarrassed that he's doing it. I don't think he had much chance to play as a kitten.
That depends entirely on the cats. You won't socialize Puddles with any cat, she won't even tolerate Jasper, who has been allowed immediate access to every foster litter I've had by the kitty momma. That's how friendly he is.
Sweet Pea, who is only semi social with other cats, can be socialized with other cats who allow HER to be the boss.
And Jasper, well, can throw him in with pretty much any cat (except Puddles) and they just LOVE him to death.
I so agree with holding off on getting the dog, it will be enough on the cats just to get used to each other for now. And slow intros are always the way to go, gives both cats a chance to get used to each other's smells.
Have you suggested feeding the cats on each side of a closed door, so they get positive feelings while being close but not being able seeing each other?
Do they have their own cat stands that they can claim for their own territory?

I found the same as L4H, it depends on the personalities involved. I've had it work and not work.
A male rescue we took in got his nose in a snit when a cute little girly kitten showed up. He'd play happily with us, US, the human people, but when he realized Miss cute kitten was in the room he'd turn and stalk out. It was kind of funny to see. He never hurt her. After about a year they became best friends.
Our current 18 year old Ginger has never adapted to the newer cats, Sadie and Bitty. We've had them all for 12 years. Ginger hates them and Bitty in particular hates her to the point we've had big Vet bills and have to keep them separated. Ginger is fine with the dog, but took a year to feel comfortable with his royal highness harum, scarum puppy.
You can't tell ahead of time how it's going to play.
Thanks for the comments thus far!
i just added an extra piece of info just in case it helps people.

I've had the same experience as LongBlades. Puddles and Sweet Pea have to be kept totally separated and they have been together for 4 years now. They both want to rule the roost, so to speak.

What have they done so far? Did they keep them separate at first and try to introduce them to each other slowly? Slow introductions and patience are the key. If they didn't do this or if they missed some of the steps, they may be best to go back to step one.
I would urge them to read the following website which has some excellent suggestions that they might want to try:
"The absolute worse thing you can ever do is to bring home a new cat or kitten and toss them into the mix. All hell will break loose and injury can result. All this will accomplish is a lot of stress for all parties, and set an unfavorable tone for the future of the relationship between cats. New additions need to be introduced very slowly."
While each cat has his/her own distinct personality and it is possible this cat may never be all that sociable, there is definitely a good chance of improving the situation.

Hi all - and thanks Marko and everyone for all your responses. I am one the owners of the two cats in question. I should point out that we taken Marko's suggestion and have absolutely no intention of brining a dog into the house until we feel reasonably sure our cat problems have been resolved. I think we both fell prey to wishful thinking when we saw those cute "little" Rott x Burmese Sheep dog puppies at the shelter, but - being generally level-headed people - cooler heads have prevailed.
Now, about this cat problem: this is a situation we've been trying to live with and address for the better part of a year an a half.
So here 's a rundown of the situation (sorry, it might be a little long, but there's quite a history):
My girlfriend and I each brought a cat into our relationship (both cats are and have always been indoor cats):
"her" cat is Bubbles, 9 yrs old female, (spayed). This cat has never lived with other pets and was adopted as a kitten from a pet store. She's always been a little agressive and quick to scratch.
...and "mine" is Dezzie, 5 yrs old female (spayed). I adopted her from friends who were roomates in a large loft. Dezzie lived with several people and 5 cats. She got along well with the people and cats.
When my girlfriend and I moved in together, we moved into a new place (new to us and to both cats). Dezzie, however, suffered a traumatizing move. During the move into our new place, we had some renovations done. The workers were at our house during the day for a little over a week, and would often work with the windows open. One day, we came home and couldn't find Dezzie. We searched and assumed that escape through the window. After a week of searching, we found no sign of her. However, a few days after the renovations were finished, we heard her under the floor!! We tore open the floor boards and she crawled her way out, all grey with dust - she was likely under there for the better part of a week at least. Brought her right to the vet (of course) who rehydrated her and gave us some special food to get her back on track. She got better in no time and even seemed relatively unscarred by her experience: after the first day or two, she came out of her hiding spot and was back to her old self (jumping up on my lap while I read my Shakespeare, eating well, etc.).
Initially, we made sure that both cats were separated. Dezzie was in our office (where I spend most of my time) and Bubbles in the living room (where my girlfriend spends much of her time). The door to the office is a french door with windows so the cats can see each other through the door.
While they were separated, we did quite a few of the things people have mentioned (swapping scents, feeding the cats on either sides of the door in sight of one another, letting the cats explore each other's spaces, swapping their scratching posts). We did this for a month while Dezzie recouperated.
When we finally got the vet's green light to let the cats meet briefly "in person," a fight immediately broke out: Dezzie ran away (and peed all over the floor), Bubbles ran after her, claws and teeth bared. We had to break up the fight before anyone got hurt.
We went back to the begining, keeping the cats isolated, and we continued to do all of the things mentioned above for a while. After a week or so, we tried to set up short "meetings" with a cat carrier. That was no better. Dezzie wouldn't even approach the carrier, Bubbles would not stop clawing and biting.
We kept resetting the process and trying again, until one day when Bubbles had Dezzie cornered and we couldn't break the fight up fast enough: Bubbles lost a tiny bit of ear to Dezzie who was just trying to get away from her.
As a result, Dezzie spends most of her time in the office (much of it with me, at least) and when she gets the chance to roam around she generally refuses to explore. Bubbles - however - roams through most of the rest of the place and is all to happy to mark her territory when left in the study. We even tried vet-prescribed "downers" for Bubbles but it had no real impact (save a stoned cat) and getting her to swallow the pills twice a day was a nightmare!
The major issue is that Bubbles is relentless: as soon as she catches Dezzie's scent, she will run at her and keep running at her. And unlike most cat fights which involve some hissing and batting with paws with both cats eventually retiring to their respective corners, Bubbles is playing for keeps. (I've been hurt pretty bad by Bubbles while trying to break up one of the worse fight, which doesn't help our situation either.)
We just learned about the Feliway thanks to all of you, and even after 2-3 days, we can see a marked change in the behaviour of both cats: Bubbles seems a little less aggressive and nervous; Dezzie seems a little braver. Of course, we're not yet ready to call this solved, but this is probably the first real sign of any type of improvement in the situation.
SO. The million dollar question: what now? What's our next step with these little gals? How long should we wait before trying to introduce them again?
Can't thank you all enough for your suggestions.
Glad to hear the feliway may be working .
I really hate to be the pessimistic one, but with my experience, once a cat has got it in their head that they "hate" a cat, it's very hard to get them to be friends, especially if one is very timid and the other is aggressive. I'm not saying impossible, but it really depends on the cats (really I mean Bubbles).
Puddles and Sweet Pea got along when they were first introduced and then Puddles made the mistake of hissing at one of Sweet Pea's kittens while Sweet Pea was there and Sweet Pea attacked Puddles and that was 4 years ago and Sweet Pea is still always trying to attack Puddles. We now keep them separated all the time and we tried everything, even drugs like you have, to calm Sweet Pea down. We don't even try to get them used to each other anymore, it's just seems to be better for both of them to be kept separated.
But if you find a way, please let me know, I would love to hear it!

There are also animal behaviourists that do house calls and phone consultations. Some links to check out (I'm not endorsing these, just giving you ideas):
Also, along with the Feliway (a couple diffusers in each of the cat's main hang-outs), you could try flower essences. I've used Spirit Essences and Bach Flower Remedies in the past with some success. I found Bully Remedy and Safe Space for Cats to be effective when dealing with a bossy cat vs an anti-social one, but they hadn't reached the full out fighting stage.
In the meantime, continue to keep both cats completely separated. I'm not sure I would even allow them to see each other for a while, if that's possible. Dezzie needs to regain her confidence, and Bubbles needs to learn she doesn't have to be "on guard" all the time. There isn't going to be an easy solution to this. Be prepared for a lengthy process, possibly taking many months or longer. It took me 10 months to reach a stage where I felt comfortable leaving all 4 of my cats together unsupervised, and that was without there ever being a fight, just emotional tension.
I wish you the best of luck with this, and would be interested to hear about any progress you make.

Couple more links for you regarding flower essences:
Some stuff on play therapy:
And understanding aggression in cats:
One other thing that might seem a little far-fetched, but what do your cats eat? Believe it or not, an inappropriate diet (ie grain-based kibble) can in some cases create a constant low-level feeling of discomfort in cats, which might manifest as anti-social behaviour. I've heard of situations where extremely fearful cats became much more relaxed when switched from dry food to 100% wet food. I doubt it will be the key to success with your 2 girls, but I also think every little bit helps (and right now you need all the help you cat get!). If neither cat likes wet food, don't force the issue too much at this point and risk more stress, although it's something to consider in the big picture.

Seven Different Players Score Goals
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's lacrosse team started all nine seniors Saturday against Columbia on Senior Day at Reese Stadium, and thanks in part to them the Bulldogs jumped out to an 8-2 lead. That provided more than enough of a cushion to withstand a late Columbia rally, as the Bulldogs came away with a 9-6 win that moved them within one game of the two teams tied for third place in the Ivy League standings with two games left.
Yale (8-5, 2-3 Ivy League) was buoyed by a dominant start to the game, including a stretch of 27:20 in which Columbia did not score a goal. The nine seniors who started the game -- attacker Jen DeVito, midfielder Ashley McCormick, goalkeeper Erin McMullan, midfielder Julie Mongan, attacker Meghan Murray, defender Kallie Parchman, midfielder Courteney Rutter, defender Katherine Sherrill and defender Adrienne Tarver -- played key roles as the Bulldogs took an early 5-0 lead. That wound up proving crucial on a day where Columbia was determined to play spoiler.
"Senior Day is always an emotional day to play," said Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse. "The seniors all deserved the opportunity to start. In the Ivy League there are no easy games, and their experience is something that can't be taught. They've been in tight games before, and they brought us composure."
Columbia got the game's first possession, and while the Lions controlled the ball for more than five minutes they had trouble getting off any good shots against Yale's defense. After shooting wide twice, Columbia sent a shot off the cross bar and McCormick scooped up the ground ball. Junior midfielder Christina Doherty then quickly drove to goal, earned a free position shot, and buried it to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead at 23:50.
Sophomore attacker Nicole Daniggelis earned a free position attempt at the 22:51 mark but -- in keeping with the Senior Day theme -- instead of shooting opted to pass to Murray, who was wide open in front of the goal and scored with ease. Daniggelis later fed DeVito for a goal that made it 3-0 at 10:48, and two minutes later -- shortly after a Columbia timeout and a yellow card on the Lions --DeVito scored again on a free position shot.
Later in the half, junior midfielder Cathryn Avallone curled around from behind the cage and slipped in one more goal to make the score 5-0 Bulldogs. Columbia finally broke up the shutout on a free position goal by midfielder Taylor Quinn with 2:40 left in the half.
The Bulldogs extended the lead to 7-1 on a pair of goals in the first minute of the second half, both coming after draw control wins by Daniggelis. Junior attacker Kerri Fleishhacker set up junior midfielder Erin Magnuson for the first one, and Fleishhacker then scored off a DeVito assist 35 seconds later.
Columbia (3-7, 0-5 Ivy League) -- which has now lost four games by three or fewer goals -- started to rally when leading scorer Paige Cuscovitch jump-started a 4-1 run with a free position goal at the 27:38 mark. After Magnuson scored on a free position at 27:20, the Lions scored three straight -- including a goal at 23:23 by Cuscovitch that represented Columbia's first goal of the game from the field.
"The eight-meter shots really hurt us," said Phillips. "This was a tough matchup for us in that regard, because there were a lot of fouls called on us. Columbia got a little momentum, but we eventually used our passing ability and ball control to ensure the win."
DeVito fed a wide-open Daniggelis to bring Yale's lead to 9-5 with 12:50 to play, but a yellow card left the Bulldogs briefly down a man with 11:36 left. But after Columbia sent one free position attempt wide, McMullan came up with one of her biggest saves of the day, going low to deny a free position attempt by Quinn. Doherty got the ground ball, enabling the Bulldogs to kill off the penalty without any further Columbia threats.
Quinn scored in transition after a Yale turnover with 6:20 left, bringing the Lions within three. After a timeout by Yale, McMullan delivered another huge save -- this one on defender Ashley Rinere -- and got the ground ball, enabling the Bulldogs to take some valuable time off the clock.
Columbia got the ball back after a save on a Yale free position shot, but McMullan reacted quickly to deny a high shot attempt from point-blank range by Cuscovitch with four minutes remaining. McMullan grabbed the loose ball out of the air, and after a timeout the Bulldogs cleared the ball and took some more time off the clock after freshman Tess McEvoy scooped up a pass that was partially deflected and almost resulted in a turnover.
A late Bulldog turnover gave the ball back to Columbia, but the Lions turned it right back over to Yale – one of three failed clears in the second half for them. There was one more Yale turnover that gave the ball back to Columbia in the final minute, but Tarver grabbed the ground ball after an errant Columbia pass and the final seconds ticked off with the ball in her possession. That was a fitting way to end Senior Day, as Yale's captain now has sole possession of second place on the school's all-time ground balls list with 99 (trailing only Jenn Warden '09, 136).
Led by three ground balls from McMullan, Yale won the ground ball battle 18-13. The Bulldogs outshot the Lions 25-23, and McMullan finished with eight saves. Doherty had three of Yale's four caused turnovers for the game.
As a team the Bulldogs now find themselves with some milestones within reach. Two more wins would give Yale its first 10-win season since 2008, and the sixth double-digit win season in school history. Additionally, the Bulldogs are still in contention for one of the four spots in the Ivy League Tournament -- and appearing in that tournament would mark a first for Yale. The winner of the Ivy League Tournament earns an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament; Yale has three NCAA Tournament appearances in its history (1984, 2003 and 2007).
Yale plays again at Cornell next Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

I can't see myself being with my family in the future anymore. I can't see myself coming home for Christmas when I'm older. I question if they even love me anymore.. I feel completely awful. I don't want it to be this way. Being Christmas time, I wish I could love my family more, but I can't when they're like this. I just need some help. I need someone to turn to, and love. Friends and girlfriends aren't enough.. I just don't know what to do. I recently watched, "Creation", a movie portraying the life of Charles Darwin. I feel just like that. My family simply expects me to change, but it's not going to happen. Do they know what they're doing? How they're making me feel? I try letting them know. I'm often literally crying, wishing things weren't this way. It's been over a year..
Religion is destroying one of the most precious things in my life, and I can't do anything about it. I feel so empty inside. I need help..

Jeffrey, Maybe it would help to know there is a group of ex-mormons here?
It's very hard for you right now. It really does get better. It really does.
I think that one of the most important things to remember is that this is not about you. What I mean is that you can't control your parents reactions, or your bishop, or anyone else. How they are reacting is not your fault. When I left, my mantra with my parents and my wife was this:
"It is better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who you are not."
It seems a bit strange, but I kind of embraced their hatred and rejection. I embraced it because it was their reaction to the genuine me, and I relished in being genuine.
It does get better.
It is better to be hated for who you are, than loved for who you are not.
I really like that quote. Thanks for your words, and I'll try to keep what you've said in mind.
I am now 26 years old, atheist, and ex-mormon. Your story really hit me in the heart because it was quite similar to mine. The only difference was that I didn't ever confess to anything except when they caught me (looking at porn, drinking alcohol, etc). It makes me happy to hear you say words like you are happy around your friends in your "second life." I had my second life and was certainly much happier but deeply deeply depressed during my entire teenage life.
Overall my parents were good but shared some similarities with yours when discovering my "flaws." I know how you feel. You are WAY better than I was. I had a 1.75 GPA and had to take a 5th year of high school. I just didn't care about anything other than my computer, video games, and music. On top of that I would get stoned and drunk saturday night, and then bless the sacrament for hundreds of mormons the next morning. That made me feel great about myself (not)!
Sorry I'm kind of just rambling here but I want to tell you that I know EXACTLY how you feel. It's painful inside, you just want to be you but you can't around your family and you dense mormon town.
To re-iterate what Sentient and Jon said below: It gets better. But here is my advice to you. Hold on to your inner self. Cherish your passions in life (software engineering, friends, etc). Focus all of your energy on them. You cannot change your parents perceptions of you. They have to change it for themselves. DON'T let that get in the way of pursuing your dreams in life. Don't let it stop you from feeling good about yourself. It sounds like you are almost out of highschool. My advice is to get the hell out of your house and that town the second you graduate. That is what I did and it was the best decision of my life. I was free, I didn't have a burden of coming home and put on my mormon mask for the evening infront of my parents. To say that fake prayer for dinner that meant nothing to me. I could be ME. 8 years later I am now a successful IT professional, have so many passions and hobbies in my life, and happier than ever. I have married an ex-mormon atheist. We understand eachother and love eachother very much. I am ME! Nobody is stopping that. Focus on yourself and get the hell out of there Jeffrey. You're almost there and you've got my support!
If I'm in need of help, do I even bother turning to them? As far as financial, or schooling needs? I'd leave as soon as I graduate, but everything seems so soon. I always felt like my parents would be there to help with college. I doubt I'd need much, if anything, but I feel like I need some kind of support. But then again, I'd almost give anything to be away from this..
And with all that, do I answer the phone when they call? Do I come for any family gatherings? Do I invite them to my wedding? My college graduation? Or do I completely ignore them for the rest of my life?..
Thanks for your comments. It's helped.
For some things, you will want to cross that bridge when you come to it. What people think at a given moment evolves. That will be true for you and for them.
College help can come in many forms. If you are doing well enough to look for scholarships, that's one way. Loans are hard - the more you borrow, the more that you have to pay back, but sometimes they are a necessary evil. Some students have to emancipate from their parents, in order to get grants. Maybe a school counselor can help with that?
Long ago, I went to college paid by my military history, spent 3 years in the Army first; then worked part time in college and did extra jobs through grad and professional school. It's not something I would advise, and it was a different era, but it was how I did it. You will find your own way.
Give them space, but don't ignore them or shut them out. You'll see as time goes by that people can learn to live with each other, even when they don't always behave the way you want. There is enormous value in family, even if it's not the perfect family everyone wants.
Thank you for sharing. I just turned 39, and left the church about 9 years ago.
While your family will probably always treat you with a degree of disappointment, in time they will most likely accept you for who you are and allow you back into their lives. My experience has been that while they will disapprove and occasionally voice their displeasure, they will still have strong feelings for you and want you around.
The only problem is, you are going to have to be the grown up now. Your parents are not going to be able to guide and advise you, as they should. This cannot be helped. You can still have their love, but it will probably be tinged with disappointment. That has been my fate, but I have found that it's the love I want more than then approval. And I can still occasionally get some good advice here and there.
Much of the bad feeling you are experiencing is coming from the fact that they feel like since they sacrificed so much, you should too. They don't think it's fair for you to take the 'easy' road when theirs was so hard. The reason why their road was so hard is because they have been forcing themselves to live a life that is counter to nature. It's very noble, disciplined, and works great if you can follow the rules, but it is still counter to nature. And when they see someone abandon that road it hurts very much...mostly because they would like to abandon it too, but lack the courage and conviction to do so.
If you would like to talk with me more on this matter, just let me know and I will give you my email address. I would be more than willing to listen to you and share what experiences I have had.
Thank you for commenting. I've already made the sad realization of my future alone-ness, but I'm not sure where I draw the line? How involved do I let them in my future life, if at all..
Let them be involved up to the point where an argument is about to start, then politely excuse yourself. It will hurt, and you will have to bear the brunt of it, but the rewards will be greater than the pain.

Angus thanks for being a ... great to be here Simon ... so the panel also of regulations from ACC can think dating back decades of bow ... now you can sell on Register chest ... that's changed does change a lot of folks saying this is going to radically change the way startups to raise money ... to growing to to to ... hire new employees the time ... this goes back to the jobs Act said you'll remember was passed in April two thousand twelve by Congress and the title of the dirty work to the regulators to go outside to go to work well ... as you say that was over the restrictions that likes the thirties ... been intrigued over the years to one of them ... was that you are you when you could sell shares in private sales ... to pay it to raise money in your company ... to wealthy investors who are are accredited investors ISM Yemen so let's remind everyone that is the best people who are deemed to be sth actually sophisticated ... a walk back historically as man is an annual income above two hundred thousand dollars for the last two heats of the last two years ... and will ... pay you aam what what investable assets of million box attack in net worth of a million bucks on including your home now that ... these men change but I'm the ideas that you you you can sell the shares but ... under the old restrictions you were unable to advertise and promote them in anyway ... which meant if you're a startup on to ferry you had to go door to door or two ... venture capital firms and then get to do the legwork and and and venture capital funds can can have better East when chimps I'm ... in the conditions when they get the money and it's not it's not free money that was the such but certainly it and it's it's a matter of wheeling and dealing but really what the problem was that it's hit or miss Lee are doing the hundreds of of meetings to meeting all sorts of people in you might not raise any money at all ... I'm so there's been complaints that has made it very very hard to to to read ... for syrups which tended to create more jobs now on the other side of that so this this'll make things easier as I can tweet about it say that by suggesting my addresses the company ... boss ... is IMX tracks the rights of investors investors who can afford to lose money because of some risque when you do have to part of the condition of this is that you have to ... do that to go though the wording they uses a yet to be reasonably sure that these are accredited investors some of the folks who come in answering your of your absence they would like to investment company ... got that some sort of assurance that they they they are actually for accredited investors ... aam and that those thought they were gonna mean so and so if you are so if you own tweeting away saying that by my chest we treat weights ... I need and people know how to add ... and you can again a lot people on the credit and the Stazon ... well yeah that's a new FTA you that the roles of men guidelines are being put out even have to find some way to to assure regulators and others are you making sure that these are ... accredited investors the end of the day ... and other folks are are are going to deal with it and people more narrow even though you're now able to to become a mass marketing if you I ... think you got on to websites crowdfunding sites which are networks of ... investors ... that have already some sort of pre screen process so you know we are only speaking to ... ALM folks who were credited as resisting a lot more supplements decided that now houses in the secret of us the punishment when they use to be that if you had an income for the last two years all two hundred thousand dollars a year ... then you would thought that was considered wealthy but Actos back to school ... the seventies right but the specimen I somehow toll on inflation sense that ... and it's no longer but you would ... de facto path access to sophisticated financial advisers ... and so maybe you know you might get made quite a credit invest a ... minimum be sophisticated less with a lot of critics of this move are saying is that you've you've got folks who are probably sitting on a money some baby boomers who you know it is to have some inherent sense are sitting on a property ... this was a lotta money they don't even know their accredited Investors ... but said they they fit the profile and they could be basically not sophisticated investors and some critics said ... the data make a move like this you should at least raise the threshold ... and make an accredited investor low wealthier ... a little more um ... sophisticated with with that with their financial dealings so when people you know about how the roles of changing how people come and go out ... and and and ... and do this twenty think or they are some people can be sticking on no one to book housing to know what was Wolf is what's really I mean you are ever start-ups the founders are a creative bunch and that we spoke to some that are there look it's in various ... exciting ways ... to get to get work out that they're looking to sell shares in their businesses ... and the audience ones of course there Facebook and Twitter and what have you ... and we spoke to a mix of companies ... that that's them ... it's a sort of an Amazon ... marketplace for for residential ... and building supplies ... they're down in Chattanooga and they they wanna make and ...

This time last week I was sitting outside eating my lunch of prawn salad and freshly picked avocado, it was a delicious 28°C (82F°), I was in Paradise.
That is one of the pleasures of travelling to different countries. Just recently I was lucky enough to spend a short time on the magical island of Nevis.
While there I found some very interesting herbs, some I knew and grow in the UK, for example the Plectranthus amboinicus.
and some like the Blighia sapida I have never seen before.
The last time I saw Couroupita guianensis, was in the botanical garden in Penang, where they have a spectacular example which made an indelible impression. So I was fascinated and pleased to find a smaller specimen of this rare tree on the island.
So if you are lucky enough to be visiting the Caribbean look out for these stunning plants for 'Nature is amazing'.

In an open letter posted to the Apple Web site, Apple CEO Steve Jobs house outlined his company's reasoning for barring Flash from the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, describing Flash as a closed technology originally developed for desktop computers with PCs and mice that is ill-suited to the software and hardware demands of mobile devices. Jobs also takes Adobe to task for claiming Flash-less devices can't access "the full Web," pointing out that most Internet video distributed via Flash is also available in H.264 format…which works perfectly well on Apple devices.
"Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven—they say we want to protect our App Store—but in reality it is based on technology issues," Jobs wrote in the letter. "Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true."
Jobs's letter outlines six primary reasons Apple has decided to bar intermediary layers like Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone capability, with the sixth reason called out as the most important: Apple does not want the iPhone/iPad platform held captive by a third-party developer's tools. "If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features," Jobs wrote. "We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers." In other words, if a large number of iPhone developers became dependent on Adobe tools to create their applications, it wouldn't matter what features and capabilities Apple built into the iPhone OS: if Adobe didn't provide complete and rock-solid support for that feature, it wouldn't matter.
Jobs also took Flash to task as old-school technology developed for "PCs using mice," noting correctly that on mobile interfaces that have no concept of "rollovers" and similar PC interface conventions the vast majority of Flash-enabled content on the Web needs to be rewritten for mobile devices anyway. Jobs also cites Flash's poor performance to date on mobile devices, Flash's poor security track record, and Flash's video's tendency to eat battery power for lunch—unless those videos use H.264, in which case Apple products can view them just fine without Flash. Jobs also took a shot at Flash's famous lack of stability: "Flash is the number one reason Macs crash."
When Apple officially unveiled its forthcoming iPhone OS 4 earlier this month, it also unveiled a new developer licensing agreement that requires applications for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad to be developed using native tools, not intermediary layers or compatibility tools. That might seem like a lot of technical mumbo jumbo, but it was bad news for tech giant Adobe which had been working feverishly on a Flash-to-iPhone capability that would let Flash developers create iPhone applications. After a rare public gnashing of teeth by high-level Adobe employees, Adobe has formally abandoned the capability to push Flash applications to the iPhone.
Jobs's open letter isn't quite unprecedented: he also penned an open letter in 2007 outlining that Apple would drop digital rights management software in its iTunes Music Store "in a heartbeat" is labels permitted it—and iTunes music has now been DRM-free for some time. Jobs also wrote an open letter in 2007 outlining Apple's green technology and environmental initiatives.

Alice Wright Conkey, 91, formerly of Erdenheim, a music teacher and former dean of students at Abington Friends School, died Jan. 7 at her home in Hanover, N.H., where she had been a resident for the past 12 years.
Mrs. Conkey retired in 1982 from Abington Friends, where she had taught music and served as student dean over a period of 22 years.
Earlier she had been a music teacher at Germantown Friends School, where she met her future husband, the late Albert B. Conkey, who later taught music at Chestnut Hill Academy for more than three decades and was the organist and choir director of the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill.
While raising a family of five daughters, Mrs. Conkey taught piano, directed choirs and performed in two-piano concerts with her husband.
She was born in Vengurla, India, a daughter of the Rev. Horace Kepler and Adelaide Fairbank Wright. She graduated from the Woodstock School in Mussoorie, India, and magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Mount Holyoke College in 1941, with a double major in music and English.
After her retirement, Mrs. Conkey and her husband relocated to Brunswick, Maine, and, later, to Hanover, N.H. After her husband's death in 2000, she continued to participate in the League of Women Voters and other organizations promoting equality and social justice.
She is survived by her daughters, Margaret Wright Conkey of Berkeley, Calif., Jane Fairbank Conkey of Falls Church, Va., Frances Conkey Trafton of Providence, R.I., Laura Elizabeth Conkey of Hanover, N.H., and Mary Adelaide Mankins of Inwood, W.Va.; a sister, Mary Adelaide Rainey of Greenville, S.C.; a brother, Theodore R.F. Wright of Charlottesville, Va.; 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to The Woodstock School www.woodstockschool.in or to Mount Holyoke College (www.mtholyoke.edu). – WF

WELCOME TO MY LIFE TATTOO (that's a reference to The Who, in case you don't know)
I once saw an interview in which Gene Simmons was bragging that KISS was cooler than any other band because people tattooed the KISS members' faces and the KISS logo on themselves. "When you're in the KISS ARMY," he said, "you're in for life!"
Well here you go Gene Simmons! IN YOUR FACE!! Check out this tattoo from Jorren, who came to my book signing at The Regulator bookstore in Durham, North Carolina on Monday! When you're in the Hardcore Zen Army, you're in for life! Is this the Number of the Beast? Will we all one day be required to have Johnny Crap's drawing for the cover off Sit Down And Shut Up tattooed on ourselves lest we be cast out of the Antichrist's dominion? Who knows? But I think it's very cool.
The talk at the Regulator was groovey. Many good questions were asked. I was nervous as hell because two friends of mine from high school were there. I received Southern hospitality far beyond the call of duty from the most wonderful Lori and Catie who invited me to their pad around the corner to watch the UNC game. Don't tell anyone in Detroit that I was watching it. But if someone asks, I was strictly non-partisan. I'm not a big basketball fan. Most sports sort of confuse me. I think sports are great. They just confuse me.
The talk last night at Chapel Hill Zen Center was totally different. Man, they have a most impressive set up. The closest to a traditional training temple I've seen outside of SFZC or some of the places in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Josho runs a tight ship there! I love the place! I always feel a bit out of sorts in temples like that because I came from a tradition that is so loose about forms. But I have mighty respect for traditions that are strict with them.
I really have to go write a new Suicide Girls article like RIGHT NOW. So I'll sign off here. Next stop is Nashville. Details are on the link to your right. There's a retreat and a book signing. Be there! Then on to the great state of Text Us!

I don't think the ol' chant/cheer is still in good favor because I didn't hear it once at the game this weekend and the university probably realized there was a little something in the sauce the night it was penned.
We're coming off one of the most fun footy-footy-football {name that movie} weekends of ALL TIMES. And that is saying something because I've enjoyed a lot of amazing football.
One element that added to the wonderfulness was having our fellow purple-blooded cousin, Rylie, here with us. She and her dad are professional Horned Frog fans, so her extensive player knowledge helped us a ton.
Mark and Rylie flew in from Dallas to cheer on the Frogs in Colorado Springs at the TCU vs. Air Force showdown.
But I'm getting ahead of myself...every good game starts with an even better tailgate. Friday night unofficially kicked off our festivities while we canvassed Target in search of the perfect tailgate accessories and food.
We debated...
cute little grill or larger more functional grill {cute! i won!}
sliders or full-size burgers {sliders}
Doritos or Cracked Pepper Kettle Chips or Salsa Sun Chips or Black Bean Roasted Garlic Tortilla Chips or Cheetos {ALL}
And of course, we grabbed root beer for the sub-21 crowd.
The girls mostly liked hanging out the windows yelling "Go TCU!" to everyone who walked by.
I don't know if it's a sign of the times, but none of us had ever grilled with charcoal before. Or at least not in recent memory.
But the Big Man with the Little Grill made it happen.
The kids chugged root beer like it was super water {Parks & Rec fans??}. That was in-between football tosses, befriending fellow Frogs, and "hikes" in the "woods."
The friendly tailgaters next door even offered to share their posh food after they saw our leetle bitty grill and felt compassion for us. A full-on Asian Fusion buffet, complete with dipping sauces and a gorgeous Williams-Sonoma tablecloth awaited us.
One stray bean bag flew their way during Corn Hole, and suddenly we were devouring their skewered grilled scallops and setting up a love connection in Oregon for a very eligible bachelor friend of ours.
Isn't that the joy of the tailgate? The food, the camaraderie, the match-making?
After downing a couple dozen sliders and a bag of chips {each}, we made our way into the game.
This was an official TCU "travel game," so the stands were packed with Texans! YES! And our cheering definitely out team-spirited the Air Force.
In their defense, the fighter jet flyover was pretty cool. The Horned Frogs left their F-16s at home this one time.
Of course, by the third quarter {Lilly kept calling them "innings"}, the Frog Faithful were getting a little tired.
But Rylie's Horned Frog spirit just cannot be put down. Even by exhaustion.
{would you be so kind as to notice the lady in front of us who was shielding the sun with her program? following an incredible catch, the girls got a little wild with the pom-poms and she shot us a death glare like they were PERMANENTLY displacing her hair. and then she rests a magazine up there like it won't mold her sweaty hair to her head in the shape of a tent.
just sayin'.}
After the game, Tank Carder came over and high-fived his biggest fans.
And then I asked possibly the worst candidate in the stadium to take our photo with my phone. I should've denied his cheerful volunteerism when he said "so how do you work this thing?" but I didn't want to insult his lack of tech-savviness, so assured him he would be fine.
And other than not getting Lilly in the picture, he was awesome!

What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? How are we called to live and love and be the face of Christ in a confused, chaotic, post-modern world?
From July 9-11, more than 700 people from across the United States and more than a dozen countries gathered in Philadelphia to discuss those questions at the second International Theology of the Body Congress. Organized by the Theology of the Body Institute, the congress brought together leading scholars and speakers — including Christopher West, Dr. Janet Smith and secretary for the Pontifical Council on the Family, Bishop Jean Laffitte — to help Catholics explore Pope St. John Paul II's catechesis on the human person.
After the congress, Our Sunday Visitor spoke with Theology of the Body Institute executive director Damon Owens about the event and what John Paul II's work offers the culture today.
Our Sunday Visitor: What was the impetus for the first International Theology of the Body Congress in 2010?
Damon Owens: The original idea was to do what had not been done before: to provide an environment where representatives from different apostolates and dioceses, as well as religious brothers and sisters, priests and lay people could gather together and discuss how we could grow and bring this teaching to bear on the culture. That's why we called it a congress, as opposed to a conference or a symposium. Because we wanted to leverage the varied and unique contributions of individuals and groups and bring them together to see what could be done together that can't be done individually.
OSV: When it comes to the movement surrounding the theology of the body — the people talking about John Paul II's teachings and promoting them — what has changed since the first Theology of the Body Congress?
Owens: Over the last four years, I think there has been a maturing of both our understanding of the teaching and the people promoting it. It's still a small percentage of people who know it and are working to teach others about it, but those absolute numbers are much larger than they were in 2010. Right now, you also see growing numbers of diocesan offices not just promoting the teachings but incorporating them and their language into catechetics and evangelization. Pope Benedict XVI played a big role with that, and Pope Francis is doing the same.
OSV: How so?
Owens: People are taking another look at their programs and ministries through the prism of evangelism, humility and mercy. In the process of that, they're seeing just how much the theology of the body can help. In just the past few months, the Theology of the Body Institute has fielded several phone calls from dioceses asking us to help them develop diocesan catechetical programs using our approach. It wasn't in our original plan for the institute, but the dioceses are recognizing that what we're doing in our courses is converting hearts and equipping people to evangelize.
OSV: How are the changes in American culture that we've experienced over the last four years influencing this movement? Is it getting easier or harder to talk about the theology of the body?
Owens: It's pretty obvious right now that we're seeing a quick and accelerated devolving of cultural morality. Leading the way is the accelerated acceptance of same-sex marriage and people acting out on same-sex attractions. But really, that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rejecting absolute sexual morality. As people have tried to respond to this, they've discovered that moral answers have been useless at stopping the decay. Simply telling people something is wrong or goes against Christian teaching isn't working. John Paul II's approach, however, is different. The theology of the body tells us that the truth of who we are can be known by anyone with right reason and good will. It employs a language that invites people to ponder questions of identity, making the Church's teachings accessible in a way they haven't been before for people in this culture. It helps people find ways of explaining what they already know in their hearts.
OSV: What's proving most effective in terms of getting these ideas into the average Catholic's head at the parish level?
Owens: Catechists and parish leaders who take the time for good in-depth instruction — those who don't just have the information in their head but have really allowed the teachings to transform the way they live and see the world and relate to Christ. It really is about the messenger being the message. I'm not saying people didn't live the Faith before. But there is a growing realization that the teachings of our Faith by themselves generally don't convert. Conversions happen through a personal encounter with mercy and love. So for example, having a language that speaks to the brokenness of divorce and same-sex attraction is helpful, but it's even more important to have mature Christians, who have attained a certain level of peace, to speak with people about the brokenness with loving attentiveness.
OSV: Where do you think the movement surrounding the theology of the body is headed?
Owens: People are hearing the intimate language of the theology of the body more and speaking about our relationship with God in spousal terms. As this continues, we'll see that language — terms and definitions rooted in the theology of the body — become more prevalent in Bible studies, marriage preparation and other catechetical materials. For instance, baptism will be increasingly talked about as a "nuptial bath" or marriage as the communion of persons. That kind of language changes the tempo and the tenor of our dialogue with the culture. I think it's also probable that we'll see the phrase "theology of the body" less often. It will become so integrated that it won't be necessary to always refer to those concepts as "theology of the body." No matter what happens, though, I am convinced that the foundation of the theology of the body is essential for us, not only in pursuing personal holiness, but in order to truly evangelize. The world has changed — the Gospel has not. But how we communicate the Gospel has to change. The theology of the body is for such a time as this.

Multiple Subpial Transections (MST)
Multiple Subpial Transection is a surgical approach for patients with well-localized epileptogenic areas which are unresectable due to their functional importance. This procedure aims to sever horizontal intracortical fibers that are presumed responsible for spreading seizure activity while preserving the other fibers that control neurologic function.
What to expect
- The morning of the procedure you will arrive from home.
- You will be taken to the operating room where you will have anesthesia, then the Neurosurgeon will perform the procedure.
- Once the surgery is completed (approximately 4-6 hours) you will go to the neurological Intensive Care Unit. Pediatric patients will be taken to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. You will spend the first night in the intensive care unit.
- The next morning you will be taken to the Neurological Medical Unit.
- You will have a dressing on your head.
- You will be discharged to home a few days after the operation.

And another one gets the cut! Ciara debuted her chic new short bob at the Tate Americas Foundation Artists Dinner in NYC on Wednesday, May 8. With her hair cut to just above her chin, colored a pretty shade of blonde, and styled into a deep side part, the singer looked gorgeous in a sophisticated long-sleeved gown.
That same day, Ciara, 27, Instagrammed a shot of her glamorous new hairstyle and wrote, "We Wear Short Short.." referencing the famous Nair jingle from the '80s. The photograph has so far elicited more than 55,000 likes.
Stylist Cesar Ramirez, who gave the singer her cut, tells Us Weekly he was inspired "by her cool-girl edgy style." "I wanted to do something that was fashion-forward and fresh by mixing a bit of rocker edge with some old-school hip hop flare. The color (baylayage) is a bit lighter and warmer for summer with a natural base/root, and the cut is a razored short bob with a disconnected heavy fringe," he explains. To style it, he recommends using Loreal Texture Expert Densité Thickening Primer, some Davines OI/Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion, and a T3 Tourmaline hair dryer.
Besides Ciara, quite a few other stars have succumbed to the allure of the bob/lob style this year: Nicole Richie, Naomi Watts, Nikki Reed, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jaimie Alexander all debuted similar 'dos in 2013.

Studying Russian, the fifth most widely spoken language in the world, becomes especially important at the present time when Russia is becoming an essential partner in global politics, economy, and issues of the environment. By developing students' language skills and expanding their knowledge about Russian culture and society, the Russian Studies program strives to make students active participants in the multicultural, global community. Since Russian is one of the less-frequently taught languages, a major in Russian can become a unique and decisive factor in students' future careers in law, business, journalism, international affairs, and public and government services. The faculty of the Russian Studies program believes that even with a mastery of Russian grammar, real communication is still impossible unless students become familiar with Russian culture and society and the life experiences of Russians. For that reason the Russian Studies program offers courses in literature, culture, film, and Russian society.
All Russian language courses beyond RUSS 104 include assignments that are designed to develop students' writing and speaking skills. The "content" Russian language courses at the 200 and 300 level and courses on Russian culture and literature taught in English also help students to enhance their critical thinking and information literacy.
The Major
The major in Russian Studies consists of eight courses: five language courses beyond RUSS 103, at least one of which has to be a 300-level seminar, and three courses on Russian literature/culture taught in English. The 300-level Russian language seminar will fulfill the College Core Curriculum Culminating Experience requirement. This requirement also can be fulfilled by an Honors Thesis in Russian.
The Russian program offers four levels of Russian language study, striving to bring students to the intermediate high/advanced low level according to the ACTFL scale. This means that after graduation students are able to function effectively in Russian. Students majoring in Russian are strongly urged to deepen their knowledge of the language and country by studying in an approved summer or semester program in Russia. Students also may accelerate their language learning through intensive summer language study at other American universities.
The Minor
A minor in Russian Studies requires five credits in the program. At least one of the five credits, taught in either Russian or English, must have a strong literature/culture component.
Study Abroad
Students majoring in Russian are strongly urged to deepen their knowledge of the language and country by studying in an approved summer or semester program in Russia. Bucknell approves four programs currently, two of which offer homestays and internships in addition to full-time language and culture study. About 85% of our majors study abroad, most for a semester in their junior year.
Career Information
The excitement about the Russian language and culture found at Bucknell has attracted many of our graduates to live and work in Russia. The jobs are plentiful and offer the opportunity to do well and do good at the same time. Other Bucknell Russian Studies majors have continued in law school, graduate school, and worked in government and business — one is even practicing medicine on Long Island. If you are interested in seeing the world while you work, a double major in Russian Studies and International Relations prepares you for a job in an international company, law school, graduate school in political science, economics, business, international relations, Russian language and literature and a double major in Russian Studies and biology prepares you for medical school.
Combining all the opportunities afforded by the Program, Bucknell Russian Studies students not only develop fluency in Russian but a rich understanding of the people and their culture. || Learn more about alumni career paths.

Hi HG,
So... I REALLY overdid it during the holiday season. I kind of threw my diet out the window and gained about seven pounds. What do I do?!?
Holiday Hangover
Hi Holiday Hangover,
First of all, try not to panic. What's done is done. The best thing you can do is to put it behind you and move forward with a good attitude! That said, here are some ideas to get you back on track...
If you're hung over from holiday food, clear out your stash... a.k.a. your pantry and fridge! Get rid of those half-eaten boxes of chocolates, giant tins of decadent popcorn, leftover desserts, and whatever other tempting indulgent goodies are residing in your kitchen. You don't need 'em! Replace them with guilt-free foods so you're always prepared for a smart snack or meal. Need help? Click here for our most recent supermarket list!
Try a week of "clean eating." While I'm ALL about low-calorie craving busters as alternatives to fattening favorites, I'm also big on filling your diet with tons of nutritious stuff. Think lean protein (skinless chicken breast, shrimp, egg whites, etc.), fresh fruit (Fuji apples are fantastic), and lots of veggies (chopped romaine for salads, broccoli slaw, sugar snap peas, and steamable bags of frozen veggies). When it comes to carbs, go for fiber-packed versions like brown rice (watch those portions!) and high-fiber light bread. Sticking to these basics is a good way to shake off the excess eating you did over the holidays.
Eat at home more often. While there definitely are smart options you can order at restaurants, and the availability of nutritional info is helpful, you never really know how many calories and fat grams are in your meal. An extra tablespoon of cooking oil alone adds over a hundred calories and double-digit fat grams. If you want to kick-start your New Year's diet plan, dining out less often can really help. When you do eat out, keep it simple: salads without fatty toppings (light dressing on the side; dip, don't pour!), plain lean protein (like steamed seafood or broiled chicken breast), and steamed veggies. If you don't see what you're looking for on the menu, just ask! Even if the menu lists sautéed spinach as a side, they might be more than happy to steam it for you.
Increase your daily activity... Every little bit helps. Don't have time for an hour-long workout? Go for a fast-paced 20-minute walk in the morning. And all those "move more" clichés -- take the stairs, park further away at the mall, etc. -- are clichés for a reason... THEY WORK! The small things add up, so take every opportunity to move more and get your heart rate up when you can.
Finally, do NOT miss this Friday's email. It's a brand-new year, people, and now's the time to develop good habits and embrace better-for-you eating. This coming Friday's email is PACKED with a slew of great resources and ideas to do just that. Happy 2013!
Hi Hungry Girl, I'm a big snacker, and I really love trail mix. I try to avoid it because I know it's high in calories and fat... especially when you snack as much as I do! Got any suggestions so I can enjoy my favorite treat without guilt? Mixing It Up
Hi Mixing It Up,
Glad you asked! Trail mix is kind of a "food faker" -- meaning it seems like a smart choice, but it's packed with more calories and fat than people realize. It's fine -- even good -- in small doses, or if you're burning major calories doing something like hiking. But if you're munching on it straight from the bag at home, you should know that a single cup has around 550 calories and 25g fat. Eeeks! That's why it's important to find portion-controlled options. One of my favorites is Crum Creek Mills Brilliantly Blended Soy Nut Mix -- just 131 calories and 8g fat (PointsPlus® value 4*) per individually bagged ounce, and it tastes GREAT. It's pretty much only available online, but it's reasonably priced and worth ordering! When it comes to supermarket staples, there are a lot of trail-mix-inspired snacks on shelves. Kashi's Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bars are great and have just 140 calories and 5g fat each (PointsPlus® value 4*). Nature Valley makes a line of chewy trail mix bars too. There's also Emerald Breakfast on the Go! -- nut and granola mixes in single-serving pouches, each with 180 - 200 calories and 7 - 10g fat (PointsPlus® value 5*). Those come in insanely delicious flavors!
In need of LARGE servings that satisfy a craving for trail mix? Check out this Party Poppin' Trail Mix recipe! And click here, here, and here for more HG snack mixes. Microwave popcorn (94% fat-free) takes center stage in most of these recipes because you get a huge serving for not a lot of calories -- it's a great way to bulk up the denser, higher-calorie goodies. You can even use it to supersize a serving of your favorite trail mix! Freeze-dried fruit is another all-star ingredient. Unlike conventional dried fruit, it's light and airy with an impressive serving size for its calorie count.
If you're feeling creative and want to make your own 100-calorie mixes, play around with the ingredients on our DIY 100-Calorie Packs page. So much fun! And for a trail-mix-inspired b-fast, whip up this Happy Trail Mix Yogurt.
Hope I've given you enough new ways to enjoy trail mix guilt-free. Happy trails!
Today, January 2nd, is National Cream Puff Day. Celebrate with our totally decadent (yet completely guilt-free) Caramel Swirl Cream Puffs. Yum squared!

So. We've got a boot gun, a (bonus) larger boot gun, an EX pistol, an entry-level sidearm, a semi-automatic revolver, a reconfigurable assault rifle, a slam-fire carbine, and a suppression-fire top-carry that should have been automatic. With a pump-action shotgun, a bullpup semi-auto PDW with tracers, and a clip-fed semi-automatic pistol on the way, this looks like a more-than-complete Elite lineup. Impressive. Except for one thing... We don't have a proper Longshot sucessor yet. Fingers crossed - and I hope it's not just a direct-plunger LongStrike... ;DReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousDecember 4, 2012 at 3:32 AM
I do hope the longshot sucessor shares its shell with the long strike or looks cooler, because come on the longstrik looks way cooler and more sniper rifle like. Although seeing as every elite gun hits 75 feet this gun would have to shoot farther to actually be a sniper rifle compared to its elite bretheren... 150FEET.Delete
I always prime it after I load it. Does it make a difference?ReplyDelete

Source : http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5350010.htmlApple Computer released an update to its Mac OS X operating system on Tuesday to fix 15 security issues in the software.
Many of the problems are flaws in the operating system's underlying open-source software, including a critical flaw in the Kerberos authentication system--software that can act as a gatekeeper for computer networks. The patch is available for Mac OS X 10.3.5 and Mac OS X 10.3.4, and also fixes issues in Mac OS X 10.2, known as "Jaguar."
"All security enhancements...are also available for Jaguar, if the issue could occur on Jaguar systems," a security advisory from the company said.
The patch fixes software flaws that could enable an attacker to crash or freeze the Apache 2 Web server, run software by utilizing Apple's Safari Web browser or expose the password store used by the network. Security information provider Secunia/news:link> ranked the Kerberos threat as "highly critical," its second-highest danger rating.
Apple has pointed to open-source software as a source of security for the company's operating system. While open-source projects tend to release patches as soon as possible, Apple and other companies have moved to more occasional releases of collections of patches.
Microsoft releases fixes once a month, a move that database software maker Oracle has started to do this month as well.
Apple's advisory, with details of the update, is available on the company's Web site.
