Dear Intel MKL customers,
Many users of Intel MKL for Microsoft Windows, have linked statically to the Intel OpenMP threading runtime and run into problems when other use of the library conflicts. This happens most in applications that use multiple libraries or plug-ins each of which might statically link Intel MKL. Because of the involved performance problems and even crashes in some cases, weve long given strong encouragement to link this threading runtime dynamically-which would include linking the static import lib for the threading runtime DLL.
Now because users continue to have problems (usually because they do not note the warning) we are planning to remove the static version of the threading runtime from the product. Note: well still have static MKL libraries-well only be removing the static OpenMP runtime (file to be removed: libiomp5mt.lib).
We anticipate that this will not be a problem for most of our users, but if you have any concerns then please send us your feedback by replying to this post as soon as possible (mark your reply as "private" if you wish), and leave a contact number or email address if you want us to contact you.

Tree Removal In Arlington And Gardening To Help With Stress
November 8, 2013 Category :Uncategorized 0
If that old tree in your backyard is bothering you and giving you stress, then it would be better for you to call the service of a tree removal in Arlington. Once that tree has already been removed, you can now go and continue with your gardening. The tree removal in Arlington helps you to relieve some of your stress and focus your attention to making your garden look more appealing. Below are more tips on how gardening can relieve your stress.
Your garden can be an important part of your life. Just like you, it needs to be properly maintained. You need to research, work hard and be patient to watch your work translate into progress for your own personal garden. These tips below can help you with growing a successful garden.
Choosing a tree. When buying a container-grown tree, remove it from the pot and examine the roots. Don't buy a tree that is pot-bound with a mass of congested roots, or one that has roots growing out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. Make sure that the container has been thoroughly watered, and check for any yellowing leaves or dead branches.
To save on energy, cost, and resources, don't plant more of a crop in your garden than you are able to use. If you're not planning on selling your crops at a market, planting more than you can use will just end up wasting resources and space in your garden. If you have extra space, look into planting a variety of crops instead.
Divide up your perennials while they still look healthy. It's best to divide a perennial at the end of the growing season during which it hits its peak. As the plant starts to overgrow, the center of the plant will start to have dying stalks and weaker flowers. Allowing perennials to grow too long may also lead to them overtaking neighboring plants.
If you need the extra ammunition to rage war on weeds, consider planting your plants closer together even if it means planting them closer than what is recommended. Dense plantings will ensure that no seeds from unwanted weeds will sprout and grow in your beautiful landscape design. If weeds begin to sprout near the edge of the foliage, consider adding heavy mulch to drown out the pesky weeds.
During the hot season, water your lawn a couple of hours before the sun rises. If you water during the day, much of the water will evaporate before it gets a chance to be absorbed into the ground. When you water before the sunrise, the water will have a chance to go deep into the soil, allowing the roots to absorb the water.
If you are not a fan of wearing gloves when gardening but still hate dirty fingernails, try scraping your fingernails in a bar of soap prior to beginning. The soap will keep soil from entering underneath your nails, plus the soap will help keep your nails from cracking or breaking.
Think about asking friends or family for cuttings from their existing plants. Many plants will grow from cuttings so that you do not have to purchase a whole plant yourself. It takes only minutes to learn online which part of the plant you should cut off to replant, and using cuttings can save you hundreds of dollars in landscaping and gardening costs.
Roses can be difficult to grow in the best of conditions. Increase your chances for success by choosing the right rose for your climate. If your area has harsh winter conditions look for a rose with thicker petals. Mildew resistant varieties are ideal for humid areas and heat tolerant roses will do best in arid areas.
Using mulch is helpful to plants that are located in extreme heat. The best mulch to use is wood mulch because it holds in moisture and helps drown out the weeds. Wood mulch also adds nutrients to the dirt as it decomposes. Rock is used for mulch as well, however, rock does not retain moisture as well as wood mulch.
Gardening, if done correctly, can help supplement you or your business. While the plants may not be human, they still have lives and deserve to be well-cared for. So, do yourself a favor and do your research, work hard in the dirt, and have a bunch of patience to help grow and take care of your garden.

NEW YORK (Jun. 13)
The Government of Israel will require $800,000,000 in private and government loans for large-scale housing and other needs of the tens of thousands of immigrants now pouring into that country, Jacob S. Potofsky, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, reported today following his return from a seven-week trip to the Middle East and Europe.
The Amalgamated president said that both private investors and government agencies would find Israel "a land of hope and opportunity," and added that loans would be fully protected and guaranteed. Mr. Potofsky predicted that American labor, both the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the American Federation of Labor, will participate "to the fullest extent of their ability."
"Israel is fast demonstrating that it is becoming the citadel of democracy in the Middle East. It behooves the United States Government to take an ever greater interest in the developments in that country, because it will pay incalculable dividends, he declared. The rate of immigrant absorption into Israel, he said, would be equivalent to the admission of 35,000,000 newcomers to the United States.

Access to almost all Drupal modules can be controlled by either enabling or disabling permissions for a given role. This has been the root of access control in Drupal since the beginning, but sometimes it is not enough. You need more granular permissions, a hierarchical approach, or just provide new permissions to actions existing in your site. Fortunately, there are many Drupal contribution modules providing more advanced access control facilities.
Access Control in Drupal
From a non-technical point of view, "Access Control" modules affect users, or the way they interact with your site. Some modules restrict all kind of access, others control the access to a simple feature or functionality of the web site.
These are the main topics relating "Access Control" in Drupal:
- Node Access Control: This is the basic style of Access Control extensions in Drupal. Most of the time access control should focus on content, and content in Drupal means nodes. You will find many of these modules in the project repository. It is generally not possible to run more than one of these at a time, since ACL modules grant permissions, so the first one that grants permission wins.
- Taxonomy Access Control: Instead of using node attributes to for access control, taxonomy can be used.
Other modules provide additional controls for more specific features. You will find modules defining permissions to alter some node attributes (e.g. the Authoring of content) or other modules providing access to administration features. They could be so complex to categorize, that the best effort could be to put some examples, and let you discover the rest:
- Menu Access Control: Sometimes just disabling access to the menu entries will limit the access to the content behind.
- User Access Control: limiting the access to users information is also covered by Access Control modules. They can alter the list of existing users, hidding those who should not be discovered, or provide permissions to perform administrative actions not requering full User Administration privileges.
Finally, A special set of modules has grown up around Organic Groups, the Organic Groups family modules. They provide Groups for Drupal users, and management of Access Control based on these groups.
Combining multiple access control modules
Using multiple access control modules together may produce undesirable results since access is granted as soon as only one module grants it. This is a direct consequence of the whitelisting philosophy behind Drupal's grant system. There exists a module for Drupal 7 (Access Control Bridge) that solves this by requiring all controlling modules to grant access before allowing access.

Without admitting any wrongdoing, Accretive Health will pay nearly $2.5 million to settle a high-profile lawsuit brought this year by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson, the company said Monday, July 30.
Filed in federal court in January, Swanson's lawsuit alleged violations of state and federal health privacy laws by the Chicago-based health care consulting firm, which worked under contracts at hospitals operated by Minneapolis-based Fairview Health Services and Robbinsdale-based North Memorial Health Care.
Swanson claimed Accretive Health also broke state debt collection and consumer protection laws — points she underscored in April with the release of a report that alleged overly aggressive collection techniques in emergency rooms and maternity wards by Accretive Health and Fairview.
Swanson began investigating Accretive Health after a company employee's laptop computer was stolen in July 2011 from a locked car in Minneapolis. The computer lacked privacy safeguards, and its theft potentially jeopardized the security of records from 23,531 patients.
"The company wishes to eliminate the distractions caused by the lawsuit and has chosen to voluntarily cease its remaining operations in Minnesota," Accretive Health said in a statement.
The company said, "no patient data was accessed" from the stolen laptop.
Swanson said the settlement requires Accretive Health to cease all operations in Minnesota by Nov. 1. Then, the company will be subject to what Swanson described as a "ban" on operations in Minnesota for two years, with an option for the company to return to the state at a later date under certain conditions.
"Accretive will leave the state of Minnesota," Swanson said at a news conference at the state Capitol. "The practices that we identified in our lawsuit have no place in an emergency room."
In its statement, Accretive Health said the settlement lets the company continue licensing its revenue cycle technology to clients it served in Minnesota.
The company's stock price has been battered since the release of Swanson's report in April, but Accretive Health shares were up by about 22 percent in after-hours trading Monday after the settlement was announced.
"Even though we believe the claims against us were either baseless or exaggerated, we have used this opportunity to carefully examine our own practices in order to ensure we are setting the very highest standards for our own performance," Accretive CEO Mary Tolan said in a statement.
She went on to say Swanson's actions "were unnecessarily aggressive" and will lead to the loss of more than 100 Minnesota jobs.
Swanson replied, however, that Accretive Health was in the practice of eliminating jobs at Fairview and routinely sends work overseas.
She said the settlement money will go into a restitution fund for patients.
"I'm confident that we would not have gotten more money than ($2.5 million) had we taken the case to trial in court," Swanson said.
JoAnn Larson-Thompson, the wife of a patient treated at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, said during the news conference that she felt "very good" about the settlement because it pushes Accretive Health from the state.
Larson-Thompson recalled the fear she felt one night in September 2011 after she rushed her husband to the hospital with chest pains and was asked to make a payment on the spot. Thinking she might not have the money, Larson-Thompson said she was "trying to think what hospital I could take him to where they would treat him."
In the end, Larson-Thompson paid with a debit card. Meanwhile, it turned out that her husband did not suffer a heart attack.
But the story was one of several in Swanson's case that described the pressure patients felt to pay bills in the emergency room. Federal law stipulates hospitals must at least screen and stabilize emergency room patients regardless of their ability to pay, and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is investigating whether violations occurred at one Fairview hospital.
Swanson said the investigation has been handed off to the federal agency's office in Chicago.
Swanson's lawsuit alleged Accretive Health largely assumed control of the management and operations of "revenue cycle" work at Fairview and North Memorial. The work included patient scheduling, registration and admissions, Swanson said, as well as bill collection work at Fairview.
Fairview and Accretive Health had a second contract to help negotiate insurance contracts.
Fairview has since broken off ties with Accretive Health and this summer opted not to renew the contract of the Mark Eustis, the Fairview CEO who hired the company.
In her lawsuit, Swanson alleged that as patients suffered everything from chest pain and strokes to blood clots and kidney stone attacks, they were accosted for money — either by Accretive workers or hospital employees directed by the company.
Some patients were asked to pay while in so much pain they thought they might die, Swanson argued in a June court filing.
"Accretive implied, suggested and created the impression to many … that the patients would not receive health care services if they did not make on-the-spot-payments in advance of treatment," the attorney general stated in an amended complaint last month.
But Monday, Accretive Health said Swanson's investigation "did not and could not identify a single patient in Minnesota who experienced a problematic interaction with an Accretive Health employee."
Joe Anthony, an attorney for Accretive Health, said he objected to Swanson's use of the word "ban" to describe the settlement terms that block the company from doing business in the state. He described it as a "bar," adding that Accretive will have no problem coming back to Minnesota after two years, if it wants to.
The settlement will be paid for by a company insurance policy, Anthony said, because there was no admission of wrongdoing.
"It's the price Accretive had to pay to get out of the state because the attorney general can make it so difficult," he said. "We had to leave the state because (Swanson) has enormous power over charitable institutions like hospitals to make their life miserable, which she's done for Fairview and North Memorial."
Christopher Snowbeck can be reached at 651-228-5479. Follow him at twitter.com/chrissnowbeck.
The Accretive Health settlement calls for the following:
— Accretive will pay $2,490,400 to be distributed to patients
— Company will voluntarily wind down business operations in Minnesota and not do business in the state for two years;
— At the end of the two-year period, Accretive may resume Minnesota operations at any time during the next four years so long as it first enters into a consent decree with the attorney general;
— Accretive will destroy or return to its clients all personal health and financial information on Minnesota patients;
— Company will pay for an independent consultant to verify Accretive removed all such health and financial information from its physical and electronic records.

Normally I post an item or two each weekend day.
Then again, we don't often get wonderfully perfect, near-humidity-free days like this in Houston (though autumn is my favorite season here) — so don't expect much action here the next two days. Maybe a Sunday morning linkfest . . .
And if you're reading this . . . what are you doing inside? Get out there and enjoy the day!

Brace yourselves for one gorgeous couple and possibly the most extraordinary wedding dress we've ever had the pleasure of shooting!
When Eileen told us she'd designed her own dress, we could have never guessed which direction her design had taken. As she was getting ready on the big day, Katie and I were both struck by her (perfect) casual ponytail and smouldering makeup. I remember saying something like "Wow, love the non-traditional bridal makeup" and Eileen said something like "You'll get it when you see the dress".
Well, the dress came out of its bag and I don't think our mouths stayed shut for the rest of the day. We were absolutely gobsmacked!!! It was SO perfect, SO stunning, and SO Eileen.
When we think of this wedding we just think…golden! The sun was out in force, the day was unseasonably warm, and everything from the light to the dress was…well, you'll see…
Love Katie & Sarah xo
PS – cute groomsmen alert.
PPS – Eileen's dress was featured on our favourite blog A Cup Of Jo here.

Today's editorial: A city worker is reprimanded for improper use of sick time. What are taxpayers getting for the money that's paid to a gang prevention specialist?
The luckiest person in Albany today might be Ronald "Cook" Barrett, the city's gang prevention specialist. He still has his job, after all, despite a blatant misuse of paid sick time.
How blatant?
So much so that Mr. Barrett was being paid to appear at seminars and conferences across the country and was taking advantage of the city's paid sick time benefits while doing so.
Blatant enough that he has been on paid administrative leave since August, when the Times Union first disclosed his unusual work arrangement.
And blatant enough that an independent counsel has recommended that he be put on probation for six months.
"It is clear that Barrett inappropriately used sick time when attending to personal business," concludes a report by Stephen Rehfuss, a former city attorney and Common Council member whose law firm was hired to investigate the situation.
Why, then, does Mr. Rehfuss think that Mr. Barrett should get off so lightly — with punishment essentially limited to having to repay 307 hours of improper sick time by forfeiting his accrued vacation and personal time?
Because, Mr. Rehfuss says, there's no evidence that Mr. Barrett intended to do anything wrong.
His report does say, though:
"There also needs to be some accountability by Barrett for his misuse of sick time, which he appears to understand. Ignorance of the city's leave policies is not an excuse for failing to follow them, especially as he admitted receiving a copy of the manual. Excusing Barrett for his inappropriate actions based on his ignorance of the personnel policy is a precedent the city does not want to establish."
There is, though, a precedent that a mayor who's prepared to lay off 34 city workers to help close a $23 million budget deficit should want to establish — namely a review of what the municipal work force does.
That would logically start with Mr. Barrett, who's been collecting his $48,000 salary without having to do his job for almost three months now.
How vital is that position, really, when the person holding it attended out-of-town events 325 times dating back to 2004?
What was Mr. Barrett doing at these conferences and seminars — and on whose behalf?
Mr. Rehfuss' observation that "we have not heard anything but positive comments about Barrett and the work he had been doing" is relevant, but only to a point. It clashes with what an investigation of Mr. Barrett's work by Times Union reporter Robert Gavin found, namely that there's uncertainty in the law enforcement community about what, exactly, his job is supposed to entail.
The belated scrutiny that Mr. Barrett so long avoided ought to be quite instructive. We knew Albany had a gang problem. Now we need to know if it's getting its money's worth as Mr. Barrett is paid to try to confront it.

Reuben Miller - fiddle
Reuben Miller learned old-time fiddle and banjo tunes from Shenandoah Valley luminaries Two-Gun Terry and Kevin Harter. He grew up in an a Capella church community in Pennsylvania and also spent time listening to his mother playing harpsichord, piano, and guitar, the latter of which he learned as a teen. As a multi-instrumentalist, he has played in music circles in Lancaster, Pa., Harrisonburg, and Charlottesville, Va.
Stavros Calos - fiddle
Stavros Calos grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and started playing his Grandfather's mandolin when he was 17. Since then, he's been a regular in the Virginia old-time and bluegrass scenes, thanks mostly to the William and Mary Appalachian string band. He says: "I like when people take ownership of traditional tunes. The pioneers of American music weren't concerned about precisely preserving the old Celtic, English, and African sounds. I play the same tunes as these pioneers, but I'm not concerned with preserving their exact styles. I consider this true to the spirit of their music."

Tucker Rollins began playing mandolin at after-work musical gatherings while living in Fort Collins, CO. After moving to Charlottesville, VA, he became hooked on playing traditional old-time Appalachian tunes. He learned most everything he knows about traditional music from the Charlottesville "old-time kingpin" Pete Vigour (and also bandmate Reuben Miller). When not playing old time music he enjoys traveling to far away places, fishing for wild trout and sipping on cold microbrews and cheap scotch.
Dan Easley - banjo
Dan Easley got his start with traditional Appalachian music playing guitar for Harrisonburg fiddler Kevin Harter, and has since built up his repertoire and approach as a banjoist, fiddler and singer with regular jamming in the Shenandoah Valley and in Charlottesville, and with repeated visits to Fiddlers Conventions and festivals throughout Appalachia.
Chris Leva - guitar
Chris Leva is a guitarist, vocalist, song-writer, sound engineer and producer, with seven full length CD's to his credit. His current bands include: Datz/Leva (old-time country & bluegrass, Dawg music, Grateful Dead, acoustic swing, etc.), Green House (swing, bluegrass, blues, island), OVERDOG (formerly the Stoned Masons)(GD, classic, reggae, blues), Faster Than Walking (old-time string band), Guano Boys (Caribbean +), Positive Collective (reggae) and Ragged Mountain String Band(old-time/traditional.)
Charlie Davis - bass
Charlie Davis started playing the bass 7 years ago when he moved to Charlottesville, Va. Through playing old-time music he has met many interesting people, including these guys, and has had a good time.

Punctuating the Bible: Ephesians 4:11-12
from Benjamin Shaw Feb 17, 2012 Category: ArticlesIn speaking, we indicate emphasis and pauses simply by the way we pronounce the words.

from Nathan W. Bingham Feb 14, 2012 Category: Tabletalk MagazineLeave it to Reformed people to miss the point.

About the Book
The inspiration for the Jedi knights of Star Wars and the films of Akira Kurosawa, the legendary Japanese samurai have captured modern imaginations. Yet with these elite warriors who were bound by a code of honor called Bushido—the Way of the Warrior—the reality behind the myth proves more fascinating than any fiction. In Samurai, celebrated author John Man provides a unique and captivating look at their true history, told through the life of one man: Saigo Takamori, known to many as "the last samurai." In 1877 Takamori led a rebel army of samurai in a heroic "last stand" against the Imperial Japanese Army, who sought to end the "way of the sword" in favor of firearms and modern warfare. Man's thrilling narrative brings to life the hidden world of the samurai as never before.

Beau's Baby is available from Amazon.com, at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ENYSCVW, All Romance at https://goo.gl/A9OiAP and from MLR Press at http://www.mlrbooks.com/ShowBook.php?book=ACK_BEBY It is the fourth book in the Sunset Club Series.
The Baby Shower
"Mama is one of those annoying dinner guests who show up early to help and drives the hostess nuts trying to find something for her to do. Papa and I have managed to get her to come only fifteen minutes early instead of the forty-five she used to insist on."
Jack cracked up.
"Shit, there are a lot of people here," he told Carlo in passing.
"Watch your mouth, caro, from now on we have little ears that learn naughty words first." As Jack had been an only child, this was news to him.
Everyone from Carlo's office came, all of the soccer team, Jack's police buddies, and all the bartenders and waiters from the bar who liked Jack because he helped save one of their own.
Jason and Zach contributed to pay for the caterer and refused Carlo's attempt to pay for the extra guests. "It's a buffet, so we bought some extra shrimp. No big deal," Bobby said.
Bobby and Keith bought them one for each of their cars and one for Hannah's.
"I researched the safety ratings and found from several sources that they were the safest and easiest to install. It had the highest numbers and upon examination, I thought that Bella would be the most comfortable in this model," Bobby said definitively.
Knowing how hung up Bobby was on auto safety after his parents' deaths, Jack and Carlo listened to his sales pitch and nodded in all the appropriate places.
"Why three?" Jack asked. "Isn't three excessive?"
"Where do you put the baby while you're changing the seat out from one car to another?" Bobby asked them when he explained why he got three. "It certainly wasn't to save you two from exercise," Bobby said with his usual snark.
Jack and Carlo watched as Bobby left them, apparently happy to have been able to deliver his safety first lecture. Jack and Carlo were blissful that they wouldn't have to drag that thing from one car to another and constantly figure out how to reinstall it. Carlo examined it carefully. "Only my cousin Enzo would appreciate all the work involved in designing that monster."
"He's the engineer, right?"
"Yeah, Bobby bought us a model so sturdy it could likely keep a baby alligator strapped in and comfortable."

Women's Contribution to Classical Islamic Civilisation: Science, Medicine and Politics
While there are numerous works on the role of Muslim women in jurisprudence (fiqh) and literature and there are also studies on Muslim women in education and in medicine- although on a much smaller scale-, few sources mention the role of Muslim women in the development of science and technology. There are isolated references that mention some of the famous women who had a role in advancing science and who established charitable, educational and religious institutions. Some examples are: Zubayda who pioneered a most ambitious project of digging wells and building service stations all along the pilgrimage route from Baghdad to Mecca, Sutayta who was a mathematician and an expert witness in courts, Dhayfa Khatun who excelled in management and statesmanship, Fatima al-Fehri who founded the Qarawiyin mosque and university in Fez, and the astrolabe maker Al-'Ijliya, the rulers and queens Sitt al-Mulk, Shajarat al-Durr, Raziya of Delhi, and Amina of Zaria. In view of the growing importance of the subject of gender and women in society, this report presents what is currently known about some famous Muslim women, in the hope of initiating debate and starting the process of unearthing what could be a most significant find.

Advanced Prostate Massager
Experience advanced prostate stimulation and multiple full-body orgasms.
The Stealth model was designed to simultaneously stimulate both external and internal sphincters and prostate as you train and condition yourself to experience multiple orgasms.
The big "O" is perfectly achievable with the right kind of stimulation.
It takes some patience so relaxation is key!
Instructions (Please read and re-read these steps and tips. Do not change the order):
1. Relax. Totally relax. Take deep breaths and let go. Close your eyes. Stay in the moment. (5 minutes)
2. Lay down on your back or side and using plenty of water-based lube, slowly and gently insert The Stealth up to the second node only.
3. Let your body wrap around The Stealth and simply continue to relax. Feel how each node is pressed into you naturally and become aware of this sensation. Stay still for at least 5 more minutes.
4. You will feel The Stealth naturally and slowly get sucked further into you. If this doesn't happen after at least 5 minutes, gently use your hand to push up to the third and last node. Breathe deeply and take your time feeling these new sensations.
5. Relax some more for at least 5 minutes. Continuing to focus on the new sensations.
6. Slowly begin contracting and relaxing your PC muscles while focusing on the sensations of The Stealth pressing up against your prostate internally while the outside nodes press into your perineum.
7. Let the sensations guide you and keep flexing your PC muscles faster and faster. Then relax and pick up again. Always relaxing and breathing deeply. You may also tighten and loosen up your buttocks and thigh muscles as well.
8. Keep this up until you feel your prostate and sphincters start to vibrate. Let the sensation spread through your entire body. This will inevitably create involuntary contractions both inside and outside your body. Go with this feeling and welcome this new experience.
♥ If you're not sure how to find or use your PC muscles do the exercises listed in the following article first: http://www.wikihow.com/Do-PC-Muscle-Exercises
♥ Avoid touching and stimulating your penis during the entire session. This will help you stay in focus and prevent you from ejaculating. Just relax and leave your penis alone. Instead of stimulating your penis, learn to enjoy the new sensations in your prostate and you will experience mind-blowing full body orgasms in no time.
♥ You will soon find out that your prostate and sphincter will continue to vibrate or tickle even long after you've finished a session. This is perfectly normal! Focus on it and enjoy it.
♥ Continued use will inevitably give you rock hard erections. This is because you are working out your PC muscles and your prostate at the same time. In many respects you are fine tuning and conditioning all of your sex organs at once. Your sex organs include your sphincters, prostate, testicles, penis, and your MIND!
♥ Your libido may suddenly go through the roof. Enjoy it and show off with a partner. Your partner will thank you for it.
♥ The experience and orgasms will intensify with time. Stay on course and follow the steps listed above. You will soon learn to have multiple orgasms. Some will be short and some will last as long as a few minutes! Remember to totally relax both your mind and body.
♥ Regarding the size of The Stealth. For prostate stimulation, smaller is better! The small size allows your muscles to move The Stealth inside you and stimulate your prostate completely. A larger size may not have the same benefit.
♥ Please be sure to sand and seal your 3d printed toy before use! Z-Poxy coating recommended.
♥ Print solid or at least 80% fill with supports.
♥ Add print supports.
Width: Each node is 25mm (.98 inches) wide.
Height: 110mm (4.33 inches)

'Hopper Meditations' is a series of digitally manipulated photographs of intimate bedroom scenes, the visual elements of which are inspired by the works of the great American painter Edward Hopper. The series is a nod to Hopper's famed command of composition, tone, hue and mood.
Tuschman put together pieces by first photographing models against a plain background. He then took photographic images of dollhouse furniture—some of which he built himself—on his set. The photographs of the models and sets were then fused in Photoshop to create marvelous digital composites. This method gave Tuschman a huge amount of control over every aspect and detail of the photographs.
The Hopper Meditations were borne out of Tuschman's love for the physical presence of paintings and his belief that photography is unsurpassed when it comes to emphasizing visual richness.

Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) has never sold part or the whole of the Jinja Road Cemetery, an official at the city authority has said.
There has been construction activity around the cemetery in recent months where men have been seen digging up around the cemetery.
However, while speaking to journalists on Jan. 14, Peter Kaujju said the cemetery was only being renovated, including the re-building of a perimeter wall. Kaujju said it is not true that the graveyard has been sold to investors or that bodies have already been exhumed.
"What KCCA has done is to renovate and erect the perimeter wall surrounding the cemetery," Kaujju said.
It is not the first time that cemetery land within the city has been reported to have been sold by the city authority.
Last September, the KCCA executive director, Jennifer Musisi ordered investigations into the sale of part of the land belonging to Bukasa Cemetery in Bweyogerere in Kira Town Council where members of the Muslim Tabliq community bury their members.
This cemetery land was reportedly sold to private investors. However, KCCA is yet to come out with a report clarifying the allegations.

Congress Acts to Ensure America Can Pay Its Bills
I'm pleased that this week Congress passed legislation to ensure that America can pay its bills, providing certainty and stability for our nation's economy and businesses. While I'm glad House Republicans stopped playing political games and allowed us to take action, I'm disappointed that the overwhelming majority of Republicans failed to vote with Democrats to pass this critical legislation. I hope Republicans will stop holding our nation's fiscal credibility hostage to partisan politics in the future.
Also this week, I joined House Democrats at the annual Democratic Issues Conference where we discussed our legislative priorities for the upcoming year. In addition to providing long-term fiscal sustainability, House Democrats will continue urging Republicans to take action on renewing unemployment insurance, raising the minimum wage, and passing comprehensive immigration reform. Taking action on these critical issues would create jobs, benefit the economy, and help middle class American families striving to reach the middle class. When Congress returns from the President's Day district work period, I hope that Republicans will agree to work towards bipartisan compromise on these issues to create more opportunities for our people and move our economy and country forward.
Sincerely yours,
P.S. Please invite your friends and family to sign up for this newsletter to learn about what House Democrats are doing to lead America in a new direction. You can also get the latest updates and join the conversation on my Facebook and twitter accounts.

With millions suffering from severe food insecurity in the region
|Bukar Tijani, FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Africa.
23 February 2017, Freetown - The second edition of the Regional Overview of Food Insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (2016) reveals that some 153 million people, representing about 26 percent of the population above 15 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa, suffered from severe food insecurity in 2014/15.
"What it means is that, around one out of four individuals above 15 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa was hungry but did not eat or went without eating for a whole day for lack of money or other resources for food", remarked Bukar Tijani, FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Africa.
"This assessment underlines the significance of the challenge facing the region in meeting SDGs' target 2.1 and the relevance of sustainable and substantial support to food security and nutrition policies and programmes in the region", he added.
On the aggregate level, sub-Saharan Africa achieved adequate food availability over the 2014–2016 period, with a Dietary Energy Supply (DES) of 110. However, several countries in the region remain highly dependent on food imports to ensure adequate food supplies, with some sub-regions depending on imports for up to a third of their cereal needs.

When Garron of Kersey returns home from the king's service to claim his title as Baron Wareham, he's shocked to find Wareham Castle very nearly destroyed by a man called the Black Demon.
According to the last starving servants inside the castle walls, the Black Demon was looking for silver belonging to Garron's brother Arthur. Among his remaining servants is the enigmatic Merry, the bastard child of the castle's priest. Garron quickly suspects that she is much more than a servant: She reads and writes and makes lists, just as he does. They work together to bring Wareham back to its former splendor.
But this is only the beginning. Did Arthur have a cache of silver? Who is the Black Demon? And the biggest question of all: Who is Merry?

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Unbelievably Bad"
I???ve read every historical romance written by Catherine Coulter and enjoyed them all. BUT, this is the worst book I???ve purchased in a long time. The characters were flat, boring and undeveloped. The story was disjointed and had no flow throughout the book. I was seriously disappointed and could not believe a veteran writer would but out something so poorly written.
"Horrible ??? Don???t waste your money!"
This book is very disjointed and the narrator???s voice is quite irritating to listen to. Usually I enjoy reading C. Coulter's book but for this one I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it.
"A good narrator can make or break an audio book"
Ann Flosnick should not have been the narrator for this book. Her overly smarmy British accent was wearing on the ears. Any one of a dozen British actresses could have done a much better job of the narration.
The only thing that kept me listening to the end is the fact that Catherine Coulter is one of my favourite authors. Any other books narrated by Ann Flosnick in the future will get a wide pass from me.
"Twist of Heiress"
Yes, it has so many different turns especially at the end
Marry, because of how she could always get out of trouble and her glib way she could tell others off
Her reflection each character
Witch Gold
"I do not recommand it"
Boring ! I could not finish the book and ha to move to the last chapter ! my first and last book for this author!
"Very disappointed. Narrator Stinks!"
I usually enjoy a Catherine Coulter book when there is nothing more interesting to choose. But this book was so awful I couldn't finish it. The narrator was a chore to listen to, and the story was just bizarre. Total waste of a credit.
"Worst. Romance. Ever"
This has got to be THE WORST book I've ever read. The saddest part is, the actual story idea was very good and the synopsis sounded really interesting. But when a 5th grader could have written it better, it doesn't matter how good the idea is. I wanted to love this book, I really did, but the characters were so flat and the plot was missing so many details. I almost didn't finish this book. If you're looking for good "historical" romances, try Allison Weir or Philippa Gregory. I wish I hadn't wasted the credit.
"Didn't see that coming"
I love Catherine Coulter (met her once). The story is a good one. A little light on the details, and a bit implausible plot twist, but I liked the characters. It is the brain candy anyone can enjoy.

The Issue: Michigan's passage of a right-to-work law, letting workers decide whether to be in a union.
As much as I am in favor of the right-to-work law, after watching the violence displayed by those union thugs, who in their right minds would even consider opening a business, much less working in such a potentially explosive atmosphere ("Labor's Sore Losers," Editorial, Dec. 13)?
Until such time as the authorities are able to control such violent activities, Michigan, as well as its motto, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you," is dying.
Dan Clemens
Marlboro, NJ
With Michigan's passage of right-to-work, outside front groups are now sniffing around New York.
Before they get too far, New Yorkers must understand what right to work is; it's an attempt to silence and divide workers — period.
Workers in right-to-work states earn on average $1,540 less annually than those in non-right-to-work states. In addition, 28 percent more workers lack health insurance, the poverty rate is 18 percent higher and workplace deaths are 36 percent higher. Is that what New York strives to be?
Sandy showed us that we're stronger together. Let's not allow destructive policies like right-to-work divide us.
Mario Cilento
New York State AFL-CIO
The same greedy labor unions that have put many states on the path of financial default couldn't care less about those who have no jobs at all.
Could anyone imagine working union members becoming violent over a law that actually allows its fellow unemployed residents the right to choose membership? Detroit has been reduced to rubble, in part by ravenous union leaders who long ago forgot that the American dream belongs to all of us, not just to the fat-cats picking at the bones of every city in this nation.
When forced to make concessions for the welfare of all, these overpaid thugs revert to violence. And President Obama fans the flames.
Theodore Miraldi
The Bronx
More and more Americans are steering away from some of these "bully" unions.
Unions have always been the backbone of labor, and many of us have belonged to a union. But some are way out of control.
The administration and the media elite have given this behavior a pass but were so eager to pound the dreaded Tea Party for its "terrible" actions. Listening to the press secretary try to dance around this topic was laughable. This is hypocrisy or a double standard at best.
Sam King
On Monday, Obama spoke to Michigan union leaders. Tuesday morning, a Democratic state legislator predicted the flow of blood. A few hours later, a riot ensued with a reporter assaulted and property destroyed.
Will any indictments result? Will a Michigan sheriff show up at the White House with an arrest warrant for the inciter-in-chief?
Walt Johanson
Soon, all 50 states will have right-to-work, which will benefit America.
Unions had a purpose years ago, but now they have become political shakedowns with their dues requirements going to their admitted socialist leaders to give to politicians of their choice.
There is no more money for ridiculous pensions. Unions have become an anarchist movement, just like Occupy Wall Street was.
While Obama visited Michigan unions, there was not one peep from him denouncing the violence. The left should learn decorum from the Tea Party. J.R. Cummings
There was a great movie about unions called "On the Waterfront" that showed the corruption and violence that were used to control the longshoreman's union.
In Michigan, we saw the same thug and goon mentality that is at the heart of the current labor movement.
In the old days, crooked unions bought dirty politicians and judges. Today they are openly in bed with them and with the liberal media who are part of their propaganda machine. America needs to stamp out these bums and their liberal friends.

Shoshanna Bryan writes at The Gatestone Institute
Since 1987, the U.S. has spent about $1.25 billion annually for arms plus about $250 million in economic support to Egypt. Additional millions were spent on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) between to help Egypt create civil society organizations to provide wider space for political parties and media.
Afghanistan is the recipient of buckets of money – nearly $3 billion annually in health, education, economic infrastructure and governance for the past six years, plus billions more for military training and equipment. More than 2,000 Americans have lost their lives in an effort to bring tolerant, representative government to the Afghan people and rout the Taliban "radicals."
After a dozen years of our lives and treasure, American troops are supposed to adopt the cultural norms of seventh-century Afghans, rather than expecting the Afghans to show some 21st century tolerance for women and homosexuals, or aversion to pedophilia.
Pakistan received $3 billion in FY 2012; $1.6 billion in security assistance and $1.4 billion for economic development. Since 2001, more than $20 billion, including $9 billion in reimbursement for expenses supporting US military operations.
Libya? What we achieved in Libya hardly bears asking the question.
The U.S. and its allies could not, similarly, overthrow the Soviet Union or liberate its colonies. But we did not pretend they were our friends, and we surely did not give them aid or political support. The best of the Cold Warriors – think John F. Kennedy, Henry M. Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Ronald Reagan – spurred the United States staunchly to defend its political beliefs as "better;" defend its friends militarily through NATO, COCOM and other joint efforts; guard as much as possible against communist expansion into free countries; and let the "captive nations" know through Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty that we were on their side.
That would translate today into unequivocal support for human rights, civil rights, minority rights and capitalism; support for Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Iraq (because we are responsible for it now), the Central Asian "Stans," Tunisia (still) and Turkey (maybe); guarding against al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood expansion in Africa – including loudly denouncing attacks on Christians in Nigeria, Kenya and Mali; and expanded use of social networks to provide real information and hope for the future to those many people who want to be on our side, with America.

Joe Engel paced the Lions' offensive attack, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored.
The Lions will look to build upon its late-season run to the Gehrig Division playoff when they begin the 2018 season at UNLV for a four-game series from February 23-25.
The Lions earned 101 points, which only trailed defending 2017 Ancient Eight Champions, Yale.
Columbia baseball head coach Brett Boretti, in correlation with launching a new site, has announced his summer camp dates for 2018.
The former standout and assistant coach passed away December 12, 2017, after a long-time battle with Alzheimer's disease.
The Lions open with series' at UNLV and USF before spending Spring Break in Texas. The Ivy League schedule also has a new 21-game format.
The Lions are raising funds for Alzheimer's research and have already surpassed their goal of $4,000 and have reached nearly $5,000 in donations.
The Columbia baseball team will welcome Manhattan to Robertson Field at Satow Stadium this Sunday, October 8. Game time is set for noon.
The beginning of September marked the end of the minor-league seasons for six former Columbia baseball standouts. Here's a look at how they fared in the summer of 2017.
While most collegiate baseball players spend their summers playing in various amateur leagues across the country to improve their skills, Karo '18SEAS had a unique opportunity this year.
Set to launch its fifth year as the game-day home for Ivy League live events, the newly-branded Ivy League Network (ILN) will welcome a number of broadcast and user-experience enhancements in the 2017-18 academic year.
The class is comprised of four pitchers, four infielders and a utility player hailing from eight different states.

A great backwash of enthusiasm from the Olympics will carry the Paralympics triumphantly through the opening ceremony on Wednesday night. It's the same stadium and the same format, but these parallel games come with even greater ambitions. The vision of the Paralympics' founder, Dr Ludwig Guttman, began with the commitment to show injured D-day veterans what they could still do – a contribution celebrated at Stoke Mandeville on Tuesday night, when the Olympic flame left his old hospital for the 24-hour journey to the Olympic Park. But now, Sir Philip Craven, the president of the International Paralympic Committee, would rather the word disabled was not used at all. A movement that sprang from one man determined to transform the self-belief of its participants now aspires to transform attitudes among the spectators. The athletes themselves might be out there to win a gold medal, but they are participants in an even more ambitious project.
Timing, location and razzmatazz will all sustain the sense that the next 10 days are on a par with the Olympics. It is the first sell-out Paralympics. Only the lack of interest among the world's broadcasters betrays the distance still to travel to change the way the world thinks of people with disabilities. Yet if progress seems slow, look how far the movement has come: back in Tokyo, in 1964, the sight of "cripples doing sport" was considered too embarrassing to report. Now competition among sportsmen and women in wheelchairs or using prosthetic limbs is taken for granted. There is even overlap with the other Olympians, with both Oscar Pistorius and the Polish table tennis player Natalia Partyka competing in both forms of Olympics.
There is a danger that the mechanics of the process will come between the competitors and the fans. There is an unavoidable commodification of limb use and torso power as committees debate the intricacies of categories of disability; there is, inevitably, some gaming of the criteria by the athletes themselves as they try to line up against others who look easier to beat. And sometimes, as the mechanical details are lovingly described, it can seem as if the contest is between prosthetic rivals rather than sporting ones.
But for many disability activists the real target remains the idea that motivated Dr Guttman: how to turn the question of what can't be done into what can be. Paralympian crossbench peer Tanni Grey-Thompson fought for the cause unsuccessfully in debates earlier this year on the Welfare Reform Act, which is likely to lead to deep cuts in disability benefits when it's introduced in 2013. She argued that benefits should be understood as support to allow an individual to lead a productive and fulfilling life, not a system of compensation for what they can't do. If there can be a dividend from the growing number of young men and women who return from war zones missing arms and legs, or come through potentially limiting birth disorders like Lady Grey-Thompson herself, this is a change already overdue. The next 10 days will offer powerful stories of adversity overcome. Every Paralympian has, simply by being in London E20, triumphed in a way that deserves honouring. Their histories matter more than most. These extraordinary tales – equestrian Lee Pearson's long journey to nine gold medals, or the swimming prodigy Ellie Simmonds' remarkably short one to Beijing glory – are what make them, to the rest of us, more than the sum of their disabilities.
Of course, It is not possible to mitigate all the physical and mental impacts of severe illness or accident. But the impossibility of doing everything should not be a barrier to doing as much as possible. Take accessibility: a real victory would be the commitment to make all public transport work for everyone. That kind of major infrastructure investment rests on the transformation of public attitudes. It is time to take off the blinkers and see the talent. If the Paralympics do one thing, they will surely do that.

Interview: Dan Goldman Pt. 4 [of 4]
Categories: Reviews
"I'm really in love with comics," Dan Goldman admits in this final part of our interview. The Red Light Properties is a film school graduate, and while he confesses to visualizing comics in that cinematic manner, he tells me that he's unlikely to leave the medium any time in the foreseeable future—even as he begins to script out his first go at a prose novel.
[Part One][Part Two][Part Three]
Do you spend any time drawing in a more traditional manner? Do you practice at all with a pen and paper?
No. Not at all. I doodle, but I don't doodle to make serious art. I love drawing dirty cartoons. I have a whole other style that I've been doing since I've been a kid. That has grown with me too. But I don't put anything out in that style. It's just kind of fun for me.
I have notebooks and notebooks and notebooks of weird dirty cartoons and mystical drawings. I start off drawing a foot, and the next thing I know, it's a steam ship that's powered by farts. I have a lot of that kind of stuff. But, in terms of serious "craftsmanship" practice—no, I don't have any of that. It just doesn't appeal to me.
How soon into your time with the tablet did you just stop using pen and paper altogether?
It came in fits and starts. I have, actually, about 15 pages worth of boards where I was drawing Red Ligh freehand with a pencil, and then I scanned them. I tried to use vectors to ink my pencils. My inking is clean, but I just didn't like the way it looked. It looked too cartoony, and I needed the story to be grounded in real life.
This was, like, 2005. I had been doing reference photo-heavy work for two or three years already, and I was frustrated by it. It's a lot of work. I would love to be like Frank Quietly and just sit on the couch and be a genius. He's amazing. There's a lot of guys in the comics field that are incredible, and I'm not one of them to where I can just do that.
My work reflects the film school, where I come from. I didn't go to art school. It's a production, every goddamn chapter. There are steps—it's a multi-layer process. It's a pain in the ass, but I like the way it looks when I'm finished. I don't think it looks like anything else.
So, I wound up doing that, and I tried to break with myself, because I was frustrated. So I ended up doing these pages. I've got them somewhere. I think they're in storage in Florida. That's a story—that sequence is not in the book. The pencils for it are okay. The layouts are good, the story's good, but I was never happy with it. I didn't get the level of realism that I do when I use models.
As someone who really struggled to find you're style, it's interesting that you have served as the artist to so many writers—that was the case on [Shooting War and 08]. How did you fall into that?
It was the most frustrating thing in the world [laughs]. I fought tooth and nail on both projects, and I wound up doing a good deal of uncredited writing on both of them. I think I got lucky in that the best ideas that I had for both of those books were not used by either writers. So, for whatever reason, if the books came out and people were like, "those stories really sucked," my golden pearls were not in there. The blame was not on me.
It was frustrating. I have always considered myself a writer first. Red Light Properties was pitched to Vertigo in 2001. It passed through three different editors' desks before it passed off into the ages. At that time, I wasn't drawing seriously. So, I wanted to write the book and have somebody else draw it. my choice, at the time, was Guy Davis. I thought he would have been amazing at it. I'm a big fan of his work on Sandman Mystery Theatre. I love the way he grounded the two leads.
I always considered myself a writer before an artist. I still do. Art is something that I learned to control. Now I can get a handle on it. Before it was something that was just exploding out of me more than the story.
You compared it to filmmaking earlier. Is that something that still interests you?
Yeah, someday. But I'm really in love with comics. I'd love to make a film. Yeah, sure, why not? I actually think that one of the next things I'm gonna do is write a novel. I'm already making notes. But I'm really in love with making comics. I think it's such a great medium.
There are these editorial and business structures—outside the Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse worlds—that are getting into comics, but they don't really understand that. So, if you're working within those spaces or you're working on the Internet, you can get away with a lot more than you can writing a novel for a book publisher. I think it's a really free medium.
Comics are in my blood. I learned to read with comics. I don't see myself ever stopping, but that also doesn't mean that it's the only medium that I ever want to work in.
–Brian Heater

Things Get Punchy Between No. 4 Pitt And No. 9 Villanova (Video)
It was one of those elite performances that should at least get the Pittsburgh Panthers some consideration for top spot among voters, if it doesn't end up putting them there when the latest NCAA men's basketball rankings are released. They did something that hadn't been accomplished in over four years, despite taking one on the […]

GPT is one such > format. How is such a thing accommodated now, if it is? What is done by code laying a filesystem into a partition that contains scattered copies of GPT information? Does the filesystem code have to understand GPT? Does the driver implement a mapping function so the FS code sees a partition of contiguous usable blocks? If so, could such a mapping function be reified as a GPTinfo wedge? This is not a wedge that *overlaps* the larger surrounding wedge, but *interrupts* it. Something like the small contiguous MBR wedge at the front would be a simple special case. One favorable argument for such special wedges that I haven't seen articulated yet is that, while it's all well and good to hide a lot of location and layout information transparently from most of the kernel and tools, it is not as good to go so far in transparency that the sysadmin has to bend over backward to get the information. We've probably all known times (or will know times) when it has suddenly become imperative to be able to pin down exactly where a particular file block or data structure is living on the disk. And while those times don't come around often, they are usually the last occasions when you want to go on a documentation research project to find out just where and how the stuff has been allocated. To know where a particular disk structure lives because you have a dedicated wedge describing it would be a win in those situations. -Chap

I remember when there were relatively few significant Islamic websites. It was the mid to late nineties. Quality Islamic websites were rare. I had recently founded Zawaj.com Muslim Matrimonials, and it was one of only three Muslim matrimonial services (now there are scores).
Back then, IslamiCity was the Big Daddy of the Muslim web. It had more Islamic features, articles and information than any other website.
I remembering meeting a few of the brothers who founded and managed the website. It was at an Islamic conference in Los Angeles many years ago. They seemed honest and enthusiastic ma-sha-Allah. I had the impression that their intention was genuinely to offer a quality Islamic service. It was not a mercenary venture.
Since then, I have always included IslamiCity in any list of must-see Islamic websites.
But, more than a dozen years later, is IslamiCity still relevant? Has it retained its usefulness and cutting edge? I don't seem to hear much about it these days. So I went back and took a close look. Here is what I found:
Appearance and Design
Let's take a look at the most prominently featured content, where I think most newcomers would look first. This is the content in the left-center column, and the right-center column. Later I'll come back to the top, left and right navigation bars.
Left-Center Column
- There is a left-center column with a list of articles called "Highlights". However, many of the articles are sourced from iViews.com (a website I've never cared for due to its narrow political focus), and open a new window in that website. I think this is a mistake. Such a prominent location on the home page should be used to feature dedicated IslamiCity content. Only one point for this section.
- Below the Highlights is a small section titled "Islamic Gifts, Multimedia, Books." It consists of three links to the IslamiCity Bazaar, which is a standard type of online Islamic store. It seems like a well stocked store. I have no problem with any website wanting to earn revenue by offering good products to readers. One point for this.
- Below that, a small section titled, "Community". Among the handful of links in this section is one to request a free copy of the Quran. Another link allows one to send a free e-card to family or friends. There's an excellent selection of cards in a variety of categories, including Islamic holidays, thank you, and congratulations. The cards themselves are very basic, but it's still a useful and free service. The bottom link is to the IslamiCity forum, an active discussion board with a current count of more than 150,000 Posts in almost 18K Topics in 58 Forums. In my opinion this Community section should be moved to the top of the column, as these are the kinds of functional services that people seek and use. Three points for this section.
Right-Center Column
- The right-center column features "News and Analysis". But once again, the links open a new window to other websites, ranging from the Los Angeles Times to the Independent (and one that failed to respond). Again, a mistake. Why use the most prominent real estate on your home page just to send people off to some other news site? Zero points.
- Below News and Analysis is "Multimedia". This, finally, is dedicated IslamiCity content, and is where IslamiCity displays its strength. The only drawback is that many of the multimedia links create pop-up media players that require a plugin (RealPlayer) that I do not have. Still, I suppose I could install it easily enough. Two points for this section.
- Below Multimedia is "Science". Again, links to other websites. The first link I clicked on took me to a website called the Mail Online. The article itself was interesting, but on the right side was a column called, "Femail today" with images of various celebrities wearing bikinis. Not a very appropriate place to send your Muslim visitors. Zero points.
- Below that, "Finance". Same story, external links in new window. Zero points.
Okay, so far we've got a few good points and quality features, but also a lot of wasted space and external links to non-Muslim content. I would have liked to see more dedicated content. I understand that this is an age of economic hardship and budgetary constraints, but it's starting to look like IslamiCity has given up. Though the website has some useful functionality, it feels frozen in time, no longer evolving.
Still, let's give them a chance. In part two I'll take a look at the top navigation menu, the left-side menu bar (which seems to be chock full of good stuff), and the right-side menu bar.

Will PS3 4.0+ OFW ever be jailbreakable help?
I have a PS3 slim on 4.41 OFW and I know that to jailbreak, I have to downgrade. I am NOT willing to go through the hassle of downgrading, so here's my question: Will firmware greater than 3.56 ever be jailbroken? Are people working on that, or is newer firmware impossible to jailbreak?
06-26-2013 #2racer0018 Guest
I don't think that we will see it anytime soon. I think alot of people have moved on from this and are waiting for the new ps3 and Xbox to come out. I would do the downgrade and go from there. I could tell you why I don't think no one is working on it but it would take to long. They didn't open the ps3 all the way up yet or they would be able to install Cfw on any ps3. And it takes a lot of work to get it all the way open. Thanks.

Though legal in all 50 states, this AK-47 variant left much to be desired in an assault rifle. Let's get to work!
Of first priority was miling out this "sporter" so as to accept standard AK-47 double-stack 30 round (and larger) magazines. A good friend leant me his small but effective drill press, in which I would undertake this the first of many reckless, yet thoroughly entertaining milling projects. Starting out by enlarging the hole in the receiver stamping and barrel trunnion.
After considerable milling, cussing, drinking and then repeated milling, standard AK-47 30 round magazines now fit and locked into the PAP receiver.
After this major overhaul, and having done some advance research I learned all the joys of House Bill 922r. This wonderful piece of legislation required me to make sure that any truly "evil" imported assault rifle must be U.S. made, or at least have enough U.S. made parts to pass as such. So a new Tapco gas piston, FCG (firing control group), and U.S. made I.O. pistol grip were in order to make this gem legal according to my "good friend" William Jefferson Clinton.
What assault rifle would be complete without threading the barrel for a flash hider? Yes, that's a vise-grip being used to hold the threading die.
Now this will never work, since it came to me as a rifle I have to make sure the end result is the same shoulder fired weapon. Enter the Romanian underfolder stock, which would require some modifications to work on the PAP.
Adapter block polished and later blued.
Welded and finished underfolder.
The finished product. Many bottles of Evan Williams Cherry Reserve were harmed in the production of this firearm. Do not attempt this at home without understanding the laws concerning importation of assault rifles (see 922r).
After some test cycling I learned that I would have to replace the PAP bolt with one made for a standard Yugoslavian M70 variant. It appears that the original single stack PAP bolt wasn't tall enough to feed rounds off the new double-stack magazine with repeatability. Once this done and headspace verified, after about 200 rounds of cheap steel case Herters ammo, I have experienced one FTF which I attributed to a dented Romanian steel surplus magazine. After customizing and shooting an AK for the first time, my impression of the Automatika Kalashnikova is akin to that of a dune buggy – utilitarian and borderline crude, but very much functional and at the end of the day just a ton of fun! While I would soon discover the magic of the AR-15 / M-16 rifle of Gene Stoner's brainchild, for functionality little can be done to improve upon the tried-and-true AK-47.
