SCADA and ICS Cyber Security - Facing the Facts
May 05, 2013 Added by:Eric Byres
In the past, the main reason for securing a SCADA/ICS network was to protect against inadvertent network incidents or attacks from insiders. The risk of an external malicious cyber-attack was considered minimal.

The Threat to Industrial Control Systems from Physical Persistent Design Features (PPDF)
April 01, 2013 Added by:Joe Weiss
Industrial control systems (ICSs) were designed for reliability and safety and to enable system operability and functionality. Many ICSs were originally designed before networking was commonplace. Consequently, cyber security was not a design consideration.

Time to Speak Up on New IF-MAP Specs for ICS and SCADA Security
February 12, 2013 Added by:Eric Byres
Something I believe industry urgently needs is better standards for information exchange between security solutions. Unfortunately while TCG has had feedback from the IT community, they have received little from the SCADA or ICS community. I encourage everyone involved with SCADA and ICS security to review the specification.

Common Sense Cybersecurity
January 13, 2013 Added by:Larry Karisny
We start with one big problem. Internet architecture was never made for security. One of my earliest articles quoted the father of the Internet Vint Cerf by saying, "One of things incumbent on all of us is to introduce strong authentication into the fabric of the smart grid. We did not do that with the Internet."

The Stuxnet computer worm of mid-2010 was a huge wake-up call for the energy industry. It also catapulted SCADA from an obscure term to the forefront of industrial security.

Scammers Targeting PSE&G Customers, Company Says
Individuals should be wary of someone calling from the "disconnect collection department."
Public Service Electric & Gas is alerting its customers to a scam involving pre-paid debt cards. A Spanish-speaking individual pretending to be a PSE&G employee will call a customer saying they work for the company's "disconnect collection department," the company said in a press release Tuesday. The person tells the customer that they have an overdue balance and their service will be shut off that day unless they pay their balance using a prepaid debit card. Customers are told to purchase a Green Dot Money Pak card and put a balance on it and provide the cashier with the phone number of the person who called them. After the customer provides PSE&G with the card number, the scammer transfers the funds to a prepaid card and cashes it in at …

Generating renovations is advisable for increasing the need for your house and creating your house a much more pleasurable place, but it can also be a catastrophe if carried out incorrect. Being forced to correct your own home upgrades with more changes can be eliminated with a little imagined and energy. Take advantage of the under suggestions to practice the best frame of mind to make sure your entire home improvements are effective.
With regards to home improvement, consider remodeling both your bathroom or kitchen very first. These are two of the finest techniques you could include one of the most benefit to your residence. If you can, add yet another bathroom to your home since this is always ways to enhance the need for your property.
You could then move to the closet is an easy area and will help get you very organized. Closet organizers ikea has are great ways to help refresh your closet and you can use the pax planner that ikea has to make it really easy to do as well. It is a very affordable way to go in my opinion.
In virtually any provided space if you have detest the feeling of the confined space, put in some extended surface-duration mirrors. Mirrors create a area show up wider and higher providing your space far more classification. An additional added benefit is wall mirrors generate feeling of a lot more gentle within a room, and also, help you pick the best ensemble to utilize!
If you need to perform a project all around your home, but don't get the equipment to make it happen, take into account how often you are going to use the equipment before purchasing. It may be more cost-effective to rent or acquire what you require as opposed to spending the amount of money to get goods that can be seldom employed.
Piece of art is actually a traditional task. Drinking water-dependent latex paints alllow for the easiest nice and clean-up. You merely require soapy water. But often essential oil color is best for work. It can be longer lasting. When taking care of from oil color, use food preparation oils on your own brushes to break down the fresh paint. Then you can use soapy water.
Would like to conserve a layer or a couple of painting? If you color wood or drywall that should be prepared first tint the primer to match your final fresh paint shade. By tinting the primer you are going to lessen the level of layers you need to painting the surface with a layer or two.
On a regular basis transforming the atmosphere filter systems in your home is essential. It will help you inhale and exhale more clean air flow, and it also helps keep your Air conditioning unit in excellent working problem. Many repair calls are due to dirt accumulating inside a furnace or ac unit due to a untidy filtration.
One particular home improvement task that can experience considerable dividends to the home owner is fitted your house for contemporary electronic products. Including more energy connections, telephone jacks, and in many cases ethernet ports can make an more aged property much more compatible with the panoply of gadgets modern house owner utilizes. This modernization can have a compact but substantial effect on probable buyers' viewpoints of your house.
If lubricant alone doesn't solve your home squeaking issues, use wire wool. Just get rid of the hinge from your front door and dismantle it by taking out the pin inside the middle.. Wipe aside any grime, oxidation, as well as any other excessive particles together with the wool and change the hinge pin and come back the hinge on the entrance. Then use lubricant.
The aforementioned clever suggestions can get you looking at renovations such as a professional, which means your assignments will all travel directly for achievement instead of having a higher priced, roundabout approach to acquiring where you in the end need to be. With all the right point of view and intellectual prep, you can enhance your property in a fantasy home.

quote moose664788: "With the daily entry points not going up, there should not be anymore traffic on LIS North then normal correct? Just because there was a fire cannot mean more groups entering, am I wrong?How long would it take to get to Gibson falls from basecamping on dissapointment?"
quote Captn Tony: "The falls are called Eddy Falls not Gibson!!!"
quote HikingStick: "quote moose664788: "These are all great ideas. I have narrowed it down to basecamping on shell or disappointment but I am having a hard tome deciding. Thoughts?"Getting to Disappointment via Snowbank means you'll likely be dealing with some motorboat traffic. If you enter LIS North, you only have to worry about motorboats if you head up into Lac La Croix/Loon.Both areas are beautiful. The portages going in at LIS North don't seem tough at all going in, but your final two have noticeable climbs on the way out. Not horrible, but if she's beat from the trip, they'll seem tougher.While LIS North typically has less traffic, I wouldn't count on that in the post-Pagami Creek Fire environment. It was extremely busy when I was in there this past September (saw 6-8 groups while I was on the way in, and ran across others most of my other days). The rangers said that EP typically never maxes out that late in the season. I'd assume that some will want to avoid the burn areas completely, so traffic might be heavier, but not as heavy as it was this fall (when the rangers were re-directing people who had planned to enter the burn area)."

Collected by the RNC. Included in here is the hysterical story about Obama flak David Axelroad painting as "desperate" the Romney campaign presence in Ohio. Then, magically, Joe Biden appears there, in a "pre-scheduled" appearance. Whatever dude.
SHOT: GOP county turnout up
- · Plain Dealer: Geauga election chief predicts 80 percent voter turnout today
- · Geauga County early vote was 125% more than 2008 early vote
- · McCain won Geauga County with 57% and Bush got 60% in '04
CHASER: Dem county turnout down
- · WOUB: Athens County Election Officials: Morning Voter Turn Out Low
- · Athens County early vote was 10% less than 2008 early vote
- · Obama won Athens County with 67%
The Obama campaign is having a real hard time spinning why Joe Biden is in Ohio right now. First, David Axelrod said it was a sign of weakness to do Election Day events. Then Joe Biden showed up in Ohio and Stephanie Cutter could only say it was "just one last stop to make sure that everything is in order." This all left Columbus Dispatch reporter Joe Vardon wondering if the Obama campaign's talk about strength in Ohio was just spin. Check it out below:
SHOT: This Morning, Obama Campaign Senior Strategist David Axelrod Criticized Election Day Events As "Some Frantic Last-Minute Appeal." AXELROD: "Well, he's also sending satellite feeds, like this one into battleground states. Partly we didn't want to detract assets from the get out the vote efforts. Anytime you bring the President to an area where there's volunteer strength and staff strength that you need to devote to that. We'd rather have them working on the get out the vote efforts. I can't speak for our opponents and why they don't think that's important, but I suspect they feel like they're in some degree of trouble and therefore they want to get their candidate out there for some frantic last- minute appeal." (KTVD, 11/6/12)
CHASER: @jimacostacnn: OHIO: Biden just landed in AF2 in Cleveland and taxied right past Romney charter.
CHASER 2: Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter Said Biden Stop Was "Just One Last Stop To Make Sure That Everything Is In Order." FOX NEWS' JENNA LEE: "What's the deal with Joe Biden going to Ohio? Why did you decide to send him?" STEPHANIE CUTTER: "Well, just one last stop to make sure that everything is in order, everything is set. Ohio, obviously, is incredibly important for either candidate's prospects, and we feel good about where we are. So the vice president wanted to make one last stop on his way to Chicago, so it should be a pretty good event." LEE: "And when did you decide to make that stop?" CUTTER: "Uh, when did we decide to make that stop? Well, this is…" LEE: "Is this in reaction to Mitt Romney going, or did you decide to go regardless of that?" CUTTER: "We had decided a couple of days ago, but this type of stop is called an off-the-record stop so we don't have to interrupt traffic, we don't have to interrupt people trying to go vote. It's just a quick unplanned, unannounced stop to reach a couple of voters. So I wish I could see that picture of the two planes on the tarmac because that sums up what is going on today. Everybody's competing for these last votes." (Fox News' "Happening Now," 11/6/12)
CHASER 3: Columbus Dispatch's Joe Vardon: Last Minute Biden Stop "Makes You Wonder On The Obama Campaign Side If Some Of The Polling And Some Of The Early Vote Numbers They Thought May Have Skewed The Election Their Way Early On." FOX NEWS' JENNA LEE: "Joe Vardon is a political reporter for the Columbus Dispatch and he joins us now on the phone. Joe, let's talk a little bit about these two last-minute visits, one by Romney's team and one by Biden, obviously, the president's team. What do you make of those last-minute visits?"COLUMBUS DISPATCH'S JOE VARDON: "Well, you know, yesterday privately the Obama campaign was talking to me about how this is a sign of panic from the Romney campaign, 'silly,' those sorts of things, and low and behold the vice president stops in the Cleveland unannounced. You know, we've been talking all week about making moves from positions of strength, and you could say that the jeep ad that Romney ran in Ohio would not seem to have been run from a position of strength. This last-second move makes you wonder on the Obama campaign side if some of the polling and some of the early vote numbers they thought may have skewed the election their way early on." (FOX News' "Happening Now," 11/6/12)

Once again, it's time to present our year in advance predictions for the 2014 Academy Awards. Our track record continues to be quite good. Last year, we predicted five of the nine eventual Best Picture nominees, including the Best Picture winner (Argo, Lincoln, Les Miserables, Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty)! In 2010, we predicted both the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor winners (Colin Firth, Christian Bale) and in 2011, we predicted the Best Actress winner (Meryl Streep). This year, we aim to put out our most successful predictions to date. So after careful deliberation, here we go with our…

Welcome to Awards Frenzy's Live Blog for tonight's show. We will update you on all the awards as they are presented and provide some insightful commentary for the show. Ten minutes and counting…
5:33: And we're off! Seth McFarlane is doing a pretty okay job. As in just "okay." He kind of feels like an outsider already. Nice joke about the Affleck snub though.
5:38: Wonder how many times they will cut to Jennifer Lawrence tonight. I'd say the over and under is 25.
5:45: This is getting better. They are certainly playing to McFarlane's strengths. Great…
For the eighth consecutive year, we will be live blogging the Oscars. Stay with us for the latest commentary, analysis, and to track all your predictions, and ours. The show and blog starts at 5:30 PST tomorrow night. See you then!…
Well, another year is about to come to a close, and what a year it has been! Most people will agree it has been one of the wildest and most unpredictable years in Oscar history. In November, everyone was saying that "Lincoln" could not lose. After all, you had Steven Spileberg + Daniel Day-Lewis + critical raves. But there was just one problem. People just generally did not "like" the film. At least not enough. Then in December, "Zero Dark Thirty" was the flavor of the month. It snatched up critics' group awards left and right and was the most…

Best Picture: Argo
Best Director: Ang Lee, Life of Pi
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Best Supporting Actor: Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook

Best Animated Feature: Wreck It Ralph
Best Cinematography: Life of Pi
Best Costume Design: Anna Karenina
Best Production Design: Anna Karenina…
With Amour, filmmaker Michael Haneke cements himself as the Master of Ordinary Horror. No Michael Myers. No paranormal activity. No elaborate contraptions of humans sewn together. Just humans being humans. Haneke terrorizes audiences with the horror of the human condition, shot with simple yet assured cinematography. Nested in the plain, repetitive existence of French and German bourgeois lifestyles, the Haneke horror machine churns out monsters of human boredom, guilt, consumption of violence, repressed desire and aging. Thus, no matter the settings of contemporary French and German bourgeois families, Haneke's films feature direct, austere portraits of seriously scary real life issues…
Last year, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences changed their voting rules to a preferential ballot. Now, what does that mean? If you're not a numbers person, as I am not, it is kind of a complicated process. So I shall do my best to explain.
We have nine Best Picture nominees, so the Academy members all receive their ballots and rank the nine nominees in order of preference. As PricewaterhouseCoopers tabulates the votes, if there is a majority of ballots that name a particular film as Number 1, then the vote is over and that film…
How many Best Animated Feature Oscars® would have gone to Walt Disney (or his studios after his death) if the category would've existed in the 20th Century? Out of eleven years so far, Disney has taken home seven — albeit six from Pixar and one from Japan's Ghubli Studios — none from their traditional 2-D artists. This year they have a sixty-percent chance of winning with three films. BRAVE seems like the right choice on paper. It's Pixar, it won the Golden Globe, it has an awesome poster, a spunky heroine, is great looking, and, well — the title is…
As usual, the documentary short category is a shot in the dark, but all subjects deal with survivors: elderly retirees in Florida dealing with loss and life (KINGS POINTE), a homeless illegal alien trying to realize her dream as an artist (INOCENTE), hair stylists helping cancer victims (MONDAYS AT RACINE), African kids needing heart surgery (OPEN HEART), and people digging through trash looking for bottles and cans (REDEMPTION). Most awards "experts" will probably go with REDEMPTION because of the title, but our money is on RACINE or INOCENTE, the former with the edge…

Release Date: November 16, 2010Tracks: 121111
From old to new KID...much substance needed for a world not treasuring our Freedom, and what cost it takes to remain not only physically FREE, but SPIRITUALLY. He NEVER sold out, and as he grew with life experiences, parenting, and marriage...it is through those trying times WISDOM prevailed and was surely the catalyst to this album, whereas, he is now able to express musically for the remaining millions of Americans...still NOT getting it. Great album!
Berea, Ohio
Wow...it took me a few yrs. before I really listened to the Kid, now I can't get enough. His songs have so much meaning. One of my favorites has to be "Got One For Ya".....I live in Texas and he seems to only play in Dallas and Houston which sell out quick. I wish he would come to Austin. Love ya, Kid !
R U Kidding me! This is an instant classic, my son got it for me for Christmas, finally, had a chance to listen to all tracks. Crank it up in Cali, drop the top and drive all the way through Texas with this album. Seger, Eagles, and add this one to this list, I was a Kid Rock fan when I heard "Born Free" but you keep putting out stuff like this and I'm a fan for life!

Self-Care & Prevention
A key aspect of health is taking preventive measures to keep yourself safe and well.
Prevention and self-care start at home. Pay attention to your physical health and take appropriate steps to address symptoms or complaints as they arise.
Self-care and prevention also include wise use of healthcare resources. Know when you should see a healthcare provider. Get the necessary healthcare, including regular healthcare checkups and recommended healthcare screenings.
In addition, prevention includes a wide range of lifestyle choices. Each day you make thousands of decisions. Each one may seem insignificant, but over time, the choices you make and the risks you take all impact your health.
This section focuses on the behaviors and preventive care actions you can incorporate into your daily activities. Give yourself the opportunity for wellness.

The opposite of hippie, if you will. Used to mean "young urban proffessional" but now it is used as an insult towards young people who happen to wear suits.
It is also used as an insult to mean shallow, but conservative people. Usually, yuppies are racist and xenophobic, and against abortions. They will exhibit a limited amount of intelligence and regurgitate news heard from such crappy channels as "FOX" or "NBC" or even "ABC" . Sometimes they are extremist Christian, but not often. Usually scientifically atheistic. It doesn't matter what colour their skin is, they can still be racist against their own. They don't wear too much jewelry or makeup, and their music of choice is the horrific genre of "soft rock" or "easy listening". Their style of dress is conservative, but not bad considering the alternatives. They wear leather briefcases or nylon laptop bags, and have a sense of self-importance with their blackberry cellphones and their IPods. They wear brand names like Eddie Bauer, Tommy Hilfiger, sometimes Armani and, if they feel funky, D&G. Coco Chanel is seen as an idol, but usually, the females will wear Coach bags, because these are more in fashion. Yuppies like to pretend they're not following trends, but they follow trends just like townies and trendies do. A yuppie is a corporate lawyer.
A business person is a yuppie. Damn yuppies are at it again! |
An acronym originally meaning Young Urban Professionals. Usually referring to one who exhibits pretentious or snobbish behavior. The two Yuppie met at Starbucks and fell in love while comparing their L.L. Bean catalogs.
2. | Yuppies | ||
(n.) Used to stand for Young Urban Professionals, but has now strayed to define the 20-year-olds at Starbucks who type for hours on their laptops, probably writing a novel that they apparently want EVERYONE at Starbucks to be interested in. They often wear stylish black glasses, slim black clothing, tote yoga mats, and big bulky colored scarves regardless of the temperature outside. They are health conscious, live off salad and black coffee, and often frequent poetry slams and wear jaunty berets. If you ask them what they are writing about, expect to be either talked down to, or have them use the biggest words they can think of, even if they're out of context, hoping you don't know the meaning anyway. Mitch: "Hey look, I've always wondered what it is those yuppies type away on."
Frank: "Bad idea man." Mitch: "S'cuse me miss, can I ask what you're writing?" Yuppie: (Looks up from coffee as if she's never seen people before) "It's an esoteric collectivist's detailed analysis of the resurgence of middle-American culture in relation to the increase in demand for soy milk since its invention in-" Frank and Mitch have died. |
3. | Yuppies | ||
The first thing to know about Yuppies is that they have no national or community allegiance; therefore they are International Capitalists who enjoy exploiting the labor of third-world nations for their own private profits. Usually, Yuppies will live in "secured" buildings or a precious "gated community" surrounded by other Yuppies who fear working class retaliation. Yuppies are the bane of all racial minorities and actual Americans because they undermine, subvert and sneer at anyone who does not make $250k a year. Certain Yuppies want so badly the false appearance of being "down" or "hardcore" -- used as a sneaky trick to hide their obviously large paychecks (pejoratively known as a "urban 'hipster' "). But, when push comes to shove they would just call their precious police or cry like little bitches. Generally speaking, Yuppies love to appear cultured and have roots, when in reality they are just conformist shills willing to do anything and bend over at any command. Bob: Jim! We need to hire some more compliant Yuppies who will let us use them for our evil goals.
Jim: Yes master. I will see that a new batch are brought in right away, your magnificence. Bob: Excellent workplace compliance Jim -- sure to reward you many dollars. Jim: Pleasing my master is the only holy financial goal. |
1) An out dated acronymn used in the 80's and early 90's that meant: Yes Under Peer Pressure I Eat Shit. It indicated that there were brown nosers on the way up the chain of seniority in a corporation career Yuppies brown nose their way up the corporate ladder.
5. | yuppies | ||
Yuppies are typically people who listen to mainstream "music" garbage like Daughtry, Nickleback, or something equally soft, lifeless, and pathetic. Although yuppies are stereotyped as being morally correct, some have quite a bit of a superioty complex.These people usually have happy attitudes and it's really painful to hear them talk with their overly-peppy attitudes sometimes. Yuppies are known for having a cheesy and fake approach to the world around them. It's just sad! A conversation between a yuppie and non-yuppies at a pep rally:
Yuppie:"All right everyone!!!!!!!!!!!Who wants to be our fuzzy, adoarable school mascot at the pep rally??????!!!!!!!" Everyone else:"Whatever." |

HMS Belfast
The Queen's Walk
Greater London
General Information
General Information
020 7940 6300
020 7403 0719
HMS Belfast was ordered by the Admiralty in 1936 and was built by Harland and Wolff at their dockyard in Belfast at a cost of just over £2 million. The vessel was launched by Mrs Neville Chamberlain, wife of the then Prime Minister, on St Patrick's Day, March 17 1938. HMS Belfast was commissioned into the Royal Navy on August 5 1939.
Now a branch of the Imperial War Museum, HMS Belfast has been carefully preserved to reflect the different decades of her service and the campaigns that she served in, from the Arctic Convoys and D-Day to the Korean War and the beginning of the Cold War.
HMS Belfast played an important role during the Second World War. She played a key role in the sinking of the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst and opened fire on the D-Day beaches at 05.30am, 6 June 1944, supporting the landing of British and Canadian troops on Gold and Juno beaches. D-Day ultimately provided the turning point in the Second World War and led to victory in Europe.
HMS Belfast weighs an incredible 11,553 tons or almost 12 million kilos, and at over 613ft/187m long is the length of nineteen London buses parked end to end. With its nine decks of living history, HMS Belfast appeals to all ages and provides hours of interest, from the Captain's Bridge down to the boiler and engine rooms way below the ship's waterline beneath the surface of the Thames.
Venue Type:
Museum, Ship or maritime heritage site

For more information, please view the HMS Belfast website: www.iwm.org.uk/hmsbelfast
Sailor Tales
Join storytellers as they spin a dit (tell a story) about life on board HMS Belfast. Decide for yourself whether stories are genuine or whether they are tall tales. Imagine yourself as a sailor or one of the ship's furry stowaways and join in by telling your own seafaring story. Especially suitable for a younger audience, these drop-in storytelling sessions will encourage children to think about life on board ship, and embellish stories, just as sailors do

Booting Up A Synthetic Cell
Tweet |
Researchers have inserted an artificially-produced genome into bacterial cells -- and the resulting cells appear to function normally. Writing in the journal Science this week, Craig Venter and colleagues describe their approach for booting up a cell with a custom-made genome. While the genome used in this case was an artificial copy of an ordinary genome, with a few marker genes added and deleted, the researchers believe the same approach could one day be used to construct entirely synthetic organisms. We'll talk about the work, and where it's headed. |

Matthew Birt says:
Nicky Hayden spent most of his press briefing at Ducati's 2013 MotoGP launch in Italy this morning looking forward to what he hopes is a brighter future after a tough campaign last year. But inevitably the American was asked to reflect on Valentino Rossi's nightmare two-year spell at Ducati that ended with the Italian icon scoring just three podium finishes in...

The sponsors wanted him to stay. Ducati Corse no doubt breathed a huge sigh of relief as they can finally concentrate on improving the bike rather than accommodating a prima donna every week.

Fluff and pretense is apparently what matters most to fools like Del Torchio and the Marlboro man. Racing be damned they just want their bikes shown in glossy magazines and on the web. To be fair to them both I suppose, they well know Rossi's Uncle Carmelo looks after his nephew, granting him as many priveleges as he can. That's why you saw the money offer.
The bigger question you need to explain Buelli is why did Furusawa say the Yamaha race team did not want Rossi 2013?

Currently at the Ducati Wrooom, Gobmeir (new head of Ducati Corse) said things like:
"Well we cannot make a brand new bike or try revolutionary ideas with our 2nd team, we are not so big and we don't have that much money" !!!
"We are not expecting many things from Audi except from the usage of their labs and experience on different materials. We will have to stand up as Ducati" !!!
So Rossi was stupid bayling out? What do you think the rest of the rider's will by saying 1-2 years from now when the others will have an even bigger gap... "We are still making small steps, this year we are trying to make the tires works and next year we will get a new FTR chassis. In 2016 we will get a new ECU,..." Without the proper R&D there is no GO. Shame cause I like Ducati... (because of Rossi of course).

Unfortunately buy your direct comment at me, you have proved my point. I come on here to have a little light banter and maybe some heated discussion on topics that matter but it always seems that a selected few people have to debase it to name calling. Now I have noticed from some of your posts that you can actualy string more than three word together to make a scentence and a fairly coherent one at that but sometimes you do let your self slip. The point of my comment was that every time a certain famous person is mentioned it appears that a few chosen posters just want put him down, criticise and basicaly deride anything he has done and well, it's getting a bit boring to be honest.
Now, if you have grasped the point I am trying to make, I will accept your appology, although I doubt if I will get one, if not I will have a read of your torrent of abuse as you try to grasp the whole concept of sarcasm and piss take but please feel free to call me whatever you want for as they say, "names can not hurt me" but falling from grace may?

You need to speak to Vito Guareschi. I can assure you he would make it all very clear for you.
At your disposition (I guess you will have to use google translator for this one).
The slander Stoner receives on the site is both fanciful and tragic. Then again reading the barely intelligible dribblings of those that write such nonsense explains it all.
Oh I understand many different concepts. No need to grasp at anything at all. All I've seen from you to date though is abuse.
The slander Stoner receives on the site is both fanciful and tragic.I agree entirely with this but if that is the case why is it ok for yourself and bultoboy and a few others to slander Rossi nearly every post.

Blanc: The Beginning
After years of searching, Robert Haas (Vineyard Brands) and the Perrins (Château de Beaucastel) found the perfect site for their new estate in the steep and stony hills west of Paso Robles. Tablas Creek Vineyard was conceived with vine selections similar to Beaucastel. Organic farming techniques in the vineyard allow our grapes to be the purest expression of the warm climate and the calcareous clay soils in which they grow. Fermenting with native yeasts and selective blending of the varietals, as practiced by Beaucastel for 150 years, allow the wine to best express its rich and elegant esthetic qualities. We have left no stone unturned in our effort to make Tablas Blanc a forceful statement of its outstanding terroir.
The elegant 1999 Blanc of Tablas Creek Vineyard is a stunning riper version of the very successful and highly demanded 1997 and 1998 vintages. The color is a pale straw-gold. The nose is of rose petals and ripe peaches. There is a big, intense, rich palate with spicy ripe fruit and a hint of cinnamon. This is a round and luscious wine with a great depth and a fine long finish.
Tablas Blanc is estate bottled from vines grown on the Tablas Creek Vineyard Estate, cultivated without the use of herbicides or systemic pesticides. Only hand hoeing, cover crops , mulch, scorching and mowing are used for weed control. Natural predatory insects, "Bordeaux Mixture" and sulfur control pests and fungi.
Not Available for Purchase
Join us for the Paso Robles Wine Community's biggest celebration! We'll pour Esprit de Beaucastel at Friday's Reserve Event and a range of new releases at Saturday's Grand Tasting. And all weekend we'll have special wines open at the winery and will be taking tours to visit our herd of sheep, alpacas and donkeys. Sunday 11am to 1:30pm enjoy Chef Jacob Lovejoy's small plates, free with a tasting. Details & more events »
In May, we're featuring our 2011 Cotes de Tablas Blanc at a 10% discount. In 2011, our Viognier crop was cut by 80% due to spring frost, leaving a tiny, intense yield of less than one-half a ton per acre. The resulting wine is rich and tropical, with stone fruits and honey, but at the same time firmly dry, with a very long, saline & mineral finish. Details »
May 15, 2013
Take a look at the seven-line entry of Frank Schoonmaker, America's foremost wine expert and author in 1964, about terroir. His association, rather than the "somewhereness" the wine exhibits, is more of a taste of dirt, neither elegant nor elevated: "somewhat unpleasant, common, persistent". My, how things have changed.

Baby Boomers, An important part of your newspaper advertising toolboxBy Jane Hungarter, PNA/MANSI Media
Advertising and marketing professionals know that you only have one chance to make a first impression. Newspaper advertising representatives often use this initial opportunity as a time to discuss the various "tools in their toolbox" with prospective clients. It's easy to boast about newspapers' broad reach, color capabilities, special sections and digital options, but sometimes, one of the most important tools of all – the audience who reads the newspaper, goes unmentioned.
Recent studies indicate that adults of all ages are avid newspaper readers. Fifty-eight percent of adults between the ages of 18-34 read the newspaper; seventy-two percent of adults age 35 and older read a newspaper; and a whopping seventy-six percent of adults age 55 or older are newspaper readers.

HEADS UP The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and UPMC Sports Medicine teamed up on a first-of-its-kind initiative — HEADS UP Pittsburgh. The program kicked off in 2011 and included free baseline concussion testing for youth hockey players in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League (PIHL) and Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (PAHL), as well as others registered locally through USA Hockey programs. 2,300 youth hockey players were tested in 2011. This year, in an effort to expand the program, testing was opened up to local youth athletes in other sports. Since the program began, over 3,400 youth hockey players have been tested, along with 1,500 athletes representing 12 other sports. Our thanks to the CDC and Community College of Allegheny County for playing key roles in this unique program, which enhances the safety of local youth hockey and promotes concussion awareness among players and their families. |
PROJECT POWER PLAY In its efforts to fight the sedentary tendencies of America's youth, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation is excited to offer Project Power Play to promote fun, organized physical activity. Project Power Play is designed to take advantage of the growing popularity of hockey in the tri-state area by affording young players access to newly constructed, outdoor, multi-use athletic facilities. These structures provide safe areas to play games under the supervision of established organizations. THE PLAN SUPPORT |
PensFIT The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation continues to develop programs which are designed to introduce children to the sport of hockey and facilitate an increase in physical activity. Beginning with the 2012 school year, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation will launch PensFIT. PensFIT is designed to provide free street hockey equipment to qualifying elementary schools (both public & private) in Allegheny County. In addition to providing the equipment, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and CALU, have teamed up to design a street hockey curriculum for implementation into the physical education classrooms, which will also be simultaneously suitable for use in community recreation center programs. In addition to a professional curriculum, the program will provide teacher training, instruction and supplemental materials, and include continuing education sessions featuring Penguins coaches and alumni. The program is funded from the proceeds of the recent sale of Civic Arena ornaments. The PensFIT program impacts numerous schools throughout Allegheny County. Over 250 schools have committed to the program so far. For information on how your school can be involved, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com |
EXPLORER SERIES The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation invites children and parents to join us as we explore the world through the Explorer Series. CONSOL Energy Center is turned into an intimate classroom as 400 to 500 children learn through educational films, demonstrations and hands on activities. Children will be invited to explore and learn about interesting topics in an exciting new environment. The Explorer Series topics include Robotics, Space Exploration and the Environment. |

British English alternative to Mother fucker.
The British television network, ITV, translated "Yippee-kayae mother fucker" a line in the American Bruce Willis film Die Hard to "Yippee-kayae kemosabe" as this was thought to be less confusing to the British audience. Mother fucker is not a common term used in British society. Kemosabe is. It might also have something to do with Roy Rogers or the Lone Ranger... John McClane (Bruce Willis in a vest): Yippee Kayae mother fucker!
Hermin (baddie with german accent): Hey? John Mclane (Bruce Willis with no shoes on): Sorry, I mean Kemosabe! Hermin: Ah! Danke. Das ist gut! |

friend Tonto often referred to the Lone Ranger as kemosabe

Trusty Scout Tonto usually referred to the Lone Ranger as Kemosabe, meaning "trusty scout"
3. | kemosabe | ||
Used in the tv series Lone Ranger, Kemosabe became a very popular term. It means trusty scout or faithful friend. Contrary to popular belief, this term is actually native american. This term can be used while talking to friends or brothers. It can also be used sarcastically when talking to an unloyal and unreliable person you don't like. John: Hey Kemosabe, long time no see. Did you do my favor.
Mark: Of course I did bro! |
5. | kemosabe | ||
My friend, the horse's ass. Friend: I bet I can light this on fire.
Other Friend: Ah, Kemosabe, you are unique in your worldly ways. |
6. | kemosabe | ||
Mexican(?) or southwestern Native American slang for "horse's behind" Lone Ranger: I still don't know why every time Tonto would laugh when he addresed me as "Kemosabe". Must be because of the way I talk.

Septic Blog
Monday, August 1st, 2011Septic system maintenance is crucial to the longevity of your septic system drainfield. A septic maintenance package should be negotiated with your septic system installer. A septic system inspection should be completed every 2-5 years depending on the use of the septic system and the size of the tank and filter. I will be putting some hints and pointers on here about septic systems here in Florida on this page.
If you have a septic tank and you are in Florida feel free to ask SWS some questions and we will be happy to discuss your options with you.

Is it possible to nuke a comment once it's posted? I'm sure this has been asked and answered but damned if I can find it.
You should be able to do it, yes. We certainly don't encourage the deletion of threads since you may take down dozens or even hundreds of well thought out posts depending on the thread you're considering deleting. (Obviously if it has no replies then that's not an issue.)
There are no replies. It's just a misfire of my own. So how do I delete it?
If you are talking about an individual comment, there should be a little green 'x' at the top right corner of the comment as it appears in the thread. If you click that, it will give you the option to delete the comment.

Zynga release its next 'Ville' game: CastleVille. A socially active MMO game set in the medieval era follows on from their huge Facebook hit Farmville.
Beginning on a small area of your own land, you can begin to build your own fortress inside your kingdom to protect yourself from a range of dangerous beasts who will try to take your CastleVille cash and take over your rule. The journey will be a long one, which will see you build a variety of different buildings in order to assist your quest in becoming by trade, conquest or democracy.
By taking control of a chivalrous knight, you will need to explore the territory outside of your kingdoms realm to meet and trade with your neighbours and make friends…or foes! Along your journey you will find many other characters who will aid you with quests, hints and tips in order to improve yourself. Within your city you have the ability to create things such as armour and magic potions to help you protect yourself from the myriad of beats who will try to knock down your walls and plunder your kingdom.
The graphics use bright colours and a medieval setting to create a mysterious landscape with plenty for you to search and discover. The designers have created elaborate 3D animations for the games characters which aim to set it apart from all other social media games. The few screenshots that have been released show the breathtaking scenery, a number of sweet wild animals and cool beasts, warriors and princesses all for you to explore.
A big part of this game is the impressive soundtrack which can be heard from the grunts of goblins, rusty gates to realistic battle sounds and chants. It's all in the creators mind to make this game feel more realistic than a social media game, but closer to a MMORPG such as Runescape, but with all the CastleVille perks.
With the release date being kept secretive, we hope to see more screenshots and other snippets of information into what will surely be the next big addictive game on Facebook.
