The cushion area is adjacent to the parachute base, attached with a 2" Velcro strip allowing for position adjustment and/or removal. Channels are provided for leg strap routing.

"A" (Alternative) Harness - option US $24.00.

By Clarence E. Hill Jr.
Oxnard, Calif. _ So now we know why Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, the original Mr. Socks to Jocks himself, has yet to speak with receiver Dez Bryant about the misdemeanor family violence charge for allegedly assaulting his mother.
Asked on his radio show on 105.3 the fan Tuesday morning to explain why he hasn't talked to Bryant about the incident which could potentially take him off the field under the NFL's personal conduct polcy if he is found guilty, Jones was straight and to the point.
"Because I'm too pissed to talk to him," Jones said.
The Cowboys owner expanded on his feelings when he talked to reporters after practice on Tuesday.
"One of the reasons is I didn't want to talk to him emotionally," Jones said. "As a daddy sometimes, you're not supposed to spank when you're mad. Like I said the other day, I wanted to get my information, but I also wanted to get my mind right so we could have a good talk about things."
Jones did acknowledge that has now talked to Bryant about the incident and while he wouldn't characterize the meeting as one that makes him feel better about the situation he said they had a great visit.
"I don't have a feeling one way or another," Jones said. "But we have talked and we have talked extensively. We had a great visit."
Jones does feel good about the way Bryant has practiced the first two days of camp. The legal issue has not been a distraction as he has been one of the best players on the field. His only problem has been battling painful blisters on both feet.
"He's been very impressive," Jones said. "And he's working hard. He has big blisters on both feet. He's practicing lights out. He's practicing really well."

Reasons to Sell, or Giveaway an eBooks on your Blog or Web Site
Say for example you offer an Income Tax Service:
The ebook describes how – BUT it warns of a number of drawbacks if they decide to do their income taxes themselves.
This raise doubts in the customers mind – so what next?
The customer reads the next chapter where they discover an online tax services. The site explains what they do, which features of a service to look out for, and how to avoid the pitfalls in doing your own taxes, and so on.
By now, the customer has realized that the author of the ebook is an authority on the subject, and the reader is delighted when you have removed all the decision making for them and have a recommendation, with justifiable reasons, for the service (yours) stands out above the others.
The customer is 95% certain to go for it but you make it even more enticing for them by mentioning that there is yet one more vital feature or extra bonus that they will discover when they visit your website.
The result?
By the time they click on that link they already have phone in hand ready to call you and schedule an appointment, or buy your product.
And consider, just a few minutes ago they were tentatively considering whether they really needed your services or not?
Instead they paid to have their taxes done by you – a free ebook persuaded them to do this.
Easy To Increase Sales
Building ebooks and publishing them is something few people know how to do. This is what holds tons of people back who have valuable knowledge from selling their own ebook. Do not let it hold you back. I recommend reading Ken Evoy's comprehensive free guide Make Your Knowledge Sell which is considered the bible of ebook building and it is especially great for beginners who do not know where to start.
Why Give Away an ebook?
- Long Term Residual Income
- Faster Publishing Than Hard Books
- Easy To Create
- Can Be Short In Length
- Low Maintanence
- Easy To Increase Sales
You've got a content based website right? (If not, contact us to get you started.) You can delegate an entire section of your website to promoting your ebook. You can even put a link to your sales page or put a picture link of your ebook in the widget area of your website or blog to promote your ebook. That way it can be seen on every page. A website opens you up to a lot more marketing, and promotional opportunities.
An ebook can be Short in Length
You can create a 15-20 page ebook in no time at all. Time is precious so let people know how many pages your ebook contains, before they even opt-in to download it as a pdf. The whole purpose of the ebook is to capture leads from your website or blog. You want the ebook to be socially shared so make sure you solve your prospects pressing problem, or answer all the questions they might have about your product, or service. It needs to be a solution to their problems, or ease to their pain, and to answer their questions they cannot find anywhere else. Then they will be more than happy to recommend your ebook to their friends, if you're fulfill this problem.
Low Maintenance
Once you have your ebook linked on your website through your opt-in form, it virtually running on autopilot, and is low maintenance to no maintenance at all. All you have to do is sit back and watch the money, if you're selling your ebook directly from your site, or watch the contact leads build up. Your sales page can be working for you around the clock, even while you are sleeping.
Setting Up Landing Pages
If you are new to internet marketing and pay per click marketing you probably are not familiar with what a landing page is. A landing page is just an individual page that you set up, generally in the form of a one page website, that is quite long intended to convince the visitor to purchase your product. If you already own a website you can just set up your landing page on it.
A high traffic website is the ultimate tool in marketing products online.
Other eBook Marketing Strategies
- Set Up Landing Pages
- Article Distribution
- Pay Per Post Blog Reviews
- Send Out Newsletters
- Social Networking
- Give Away Free Chapters
- Posts In Related Forums
I recommend reading Make Your Words Sell. It is a short, no nonsense ebook, that is free and teaches you how to take your visitors through the sales funnel to increase your conversions.
A one page website is not going to get much if any traffic from the search engines. Therefore, you could consider paying for traffic. The best traffic to pay for is through pay per click ads on the right of search results commonly labeled "Sponsored Results". You can pay as little or as much as your want per click. Then all there is to do is track results, tweak, and track results some more until you are turning a profit.
Send Out Newsletters
This is an ebook marketing method that can only be used if you own a website and send out a newsletter. However, it is so powerful that it is worth mentioning for those who can do this. The more subscribers you have the more worthwhile it is to send out a newsletter just to let them know that you have created an ebook and explain how it can help them. (List the benefits.)
The biggest mistake most website owners make with this ebook marketing strategy is that they are to sales-like about it. They try to push their subscribers too hard to purchase their ebook. This has the opposite effect because internet users have become increasingly aggravated with spam. If they see it as spam, especially in their inbox which is the most popular place for spam to end up in, will immediately delete it.
Submit To Social Networking Sites
Social networking website's like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc, can provide substantial traffic. This is the easiest traffic you can receive on the internet. These social sites allow you to join for free and submit links for free that do not have to get approved. They go live instantly and provide instant exposure for your ebook.
The only downfall of this ebook marketing strategy is the traffic is not as targeted as other traffic. However, this method of ebook marketing is so easy that if it produces just a few sales a month it will be worth your while since you do not have to spend much time submitting your site for free.
Give Away Some Chapters
By giving away your best chapters and allowing for a sneak peek into your ebook you are greatly increasing your chances of those visitors buying your ebook, or opt-in. If they like what they read they will want to read the rest. This effective method of building interest and ultimately building leads and converting sales, on many of the skeptical readers that otherwise would not have purchased your ebook.
Post In Topical Forums
One of the most underutilized ebook marketing strategies is posting in topical related forums. All that means is that if your ebook is about boat repair, participate in forums relating to boats where you can get free targeted visitors to your sales page.
There is huge upside and return on investment involved with this ebook marketing technique. However, you have to be very careful to not come off as spamming. That will get you kicked off the forum for good. Spam has become a huge problem on the internet and forums do not tolerate it anymore. So inform them of your ebook along with a useful posts.
When it comes to ebook design there are so many available options out there. You can create the most basic of ebook types by writing it in Microsoft word doc, then converting that into a PDF ebook. You can also go with a more sophisticated design that incorporates video, comments, links to other websites, and much more.
For beginners you may want to go the simplest form which is a PDF ebook. It will not make a big difference to your buyers as long as you provide good quality content in your ebook. The more complicated features of ebook design are best saved for advanced ebook publishers who have already had a wealth of experience with ebooks. For a beginner these features have little to no return on investment in terms of time and money.
Curation Article Distribution
Curation Article distribution is a marketing technique that is mainly used by website owners to promote their website's and get inbound links to increase search engine rankings. However, this is underutilized by ebook owners to promote their ebooks. Article distribution is so effective because website owners are constantly looking for quality content to distribute to their readers on their site.
You can use this to your advantages by writing helpful articles filled with tips related to your ebook. Insert two or more links back to your site, along with reference links to other accredited websites. Use a couple of links to link to your ebook sales page.
When website owners use your article or blog post on their site or in their newsletter, they are required to introduce your article emphasizing its importance and why it's being featured on their site. Then they will display your whole article and then wrap it up with who wrote the article or blog post, with a link to your website. Therefore, you have the potential to drive huge amounts of free targeted traffic to your sales page, ultimately leading to more sales.
This method also works for you to be a guest blogger on other accredited website. Make sure the site you chose are regarded as high ranking. Check out their Alexa Ranking position first. Make sure the site you blog on are related to you particular field or industry.

Before I start this off season debating, assessing, and blogging about the team, I must first address an issue that has bugged me all year long…
I'm talking about the Mets cable network SNY.
For months and months I have been bombarded with way too much Yankees coverage and not enough coverage of the team that pays the bills for that network, namely the Mets.
I am sick of tired of seeing advertisements that feature Derek Jeter which still run even today. On the other side of Manhattan the YES network hardly gives the Mets any coverage… that is until yesterday when 80% of their live reporting focused on the collapse of the Mets.
Michael Kay said this on the air about the Mets…
The Mets are a bunch of jerks, asses and clowns." He then went on comparing the Mets to the Yankees in the most degrading of terms including referring to them as a classless organization.
What irked me the most about our own SNY coverage, was the lack of it during the lowest moment in our Mets lives. After the game and our season ended, there was absolutely zero coverage of the aftermath on SNY. Instead they were airing a rerun of Street Games. How could they let us down like that?
How could they not be there to console us, and to provide us with all the clubhouse interviews? Why were Mets fans forced to watch YES and ESPN for their live coverage of the darkest day in Mets history?
In fact, SNY did not even present any live reporting on the game until almost two hours later during their Geico Sportsnight broadcast which was then shared with all the other sports happenings of the day including all the raucous interviews from the Phillies clubhouse.
Shame on you SNY!
You hung us out to dry, and left us to fend for ourselves.
You signed off on the Mets the day before the season ended and abandoned millions of Mets fans.
The last words Mets fans heard came from Gary Cohen on CW11 who said
"The greatest late-September collapse in the history of Major League Baseball is now complete."
Ultimately, I don't know who was responsible for ending the Mets season on that note, but if this is what we are to expect from SNY moving forward, I think I'll spend more time next season listening to Howie Rose, Eddie Coleman and Tom McCarthy on WFAN, rather than watching the games on SNY and being forced to see all that Yankees coverage and Yankees advertisements in between innings of a Mets telecast.
By the way, you can rebroadcast Game 6 of the 1986 World Series all you want this off season because I'm still not going to watch. I already own the video and I think I'll spend a good couple of hours this weekend watching Knight round third and I'll pretend it's David Wright…
A Note: It seems that Chris' blog stirred up a lot of emotions. I just want to add that most of what was written had already been popularized and reported by Buster Onley of ESPN, Jon Heyman SI.com, Jon Delcos, over a dozen Mets fan sites, Eddie Coleman and about two hundred callers on WFAN. What I'm saying is that it was newsworthy and normal to take a side on an issue that was already in hot debate in every major media outlet. I personally would never trade Beltran or Reyes for Santana, but the question of whether we should is totally appropriate.

Something like this, for example, Hmm, is multiple pmf_device_register*(9) calls against the same device_t allowed? How should they be de-registered? One problem is that suspend and resume functions are often bus dependent but most shutdown (and pmf_class_*()) functions are bus independent. If multiple registration is allowed, it might be better to have pmf_device_register_shutdown() or so. --- Izumi Tsutsui

Mitchel Musso who plays Oliver on Hannah Montana was busted over the weekend! He was allegedly driving around L.A. drunk! Oh, did we mention that he's underage?
Eonline.com is reporting that:
An officer was directing traffic and Musso failed to slow down when coming to the intersection… he didn't obey instructions and was pulled over. A DUI investigation was held and he was given a field sobriety test.
Musso is 20 years old so any alcohol in his system is illegal. He was well over the 0.08 limit.
Bad news: Police are not releasing a mugshot. Boooo!

I guess he's a singer too… ? I would have thrown him in jail just for making this song:

|In 1915, after a cooking fire singed his sister Mabel's lashes, Tom
Lyle Williams watched in fascination as she mixed petroleum jelly with burnt cork and coal dust and applied it to her lashes. Inspired by Mabel's simple beauty trick, he created what would become a billion-dollar business that remains an icon a century later. He named it Maybelline in her honor.
Throughout the 20th century Maybelline inflated, collapsed and thrived in tandem with the nation's upheavals. While glitz, glamour, and scandal swirled from behind the gates of his Rudolf Valentino Villa, Williams launched the careers of Betty Grable, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Debbie Reynolds and others. His influence was everywhere: he held the sole ad contract for the Miss America pageant and to Grace Kelly's wedding; he was the first to place an ad on TV: the Feds investigated Maybelline as a monopoly.
He revered women, none more than his brother's wife, Evelyn—his lifelong muse. Entranced by her "roaring charisma," he called her the "real Miss Maybelline" and based his ads on her persona: beautiful, hardboiled and daring—a woman who at age 76, got a facelift, breast implants and opened the Maybelline Dinner Theatre in Arkansas. Invited guests included stars, dignitaries, and Gov. Bill Clinton. The next day she was dead, victim to an arson fire in her home; bizarrely, her 13 wigs lined up on the lawn nearby. To this day the case remains unsolved. A tale both epic and intimate, alive with the clash, the hustle, the music and dance of American enterprise
was my honor in 1996 to present Millard Fuller with the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, our country's highest civilian award.

Youngs Books brings readers
a carefully selected line of books about remarkable life journeys. Each
of our authors offer narratives of powerful and insightful experiences that
have allowed them to create new paths in their lives and new processes
to better get to the heart of issues we all have in common: wanting
to live more fully, creatively, zestfully, and abundantly. Whether
forced by circumstances or pursuing their dreams against all odds,
these are people who expressly see life as possibility and have achieved
an extraordinary personal victory: living life on one's
own terms.
Within the pages of our books you will find our authors' clear perspectives, often times arrived at after cataclysmic events forced their hand and changed their fate. Always true stories, our authors are strong and enduring people, and reading about them is to walk with them in the shoes they have worn on their remarkable journeys. It is a revelation to learn why and how the obstacles they faced not only changed their own lives forever but helped them discover new callings—and hence, create for themselves a life of abundant purpose.
These are life inspiring books. Stories that will grip you as you read them, and that will show you the myriad possibilities we are all presented with to reawaken our passion for life and reaffirm our faith in the indomitability of the human spirit.

Do all inspiron 1150 computers have a built-in wireless card for accessing a wireless network?
Can it be purchased on a site such as ebay and installed? I recently replaced the display in my 1150 and had no problem when I used the instructions downloaded from Dell.
Check out this page from the 1150 Service Manual: Removing/Installing Cards. The section on the wireless card is toward the bottom of the page. You should check to see if you can find antenna wires; if the laptop was not ordered with the wireless card the antenna wires are sometimes missing also.
If you have the antenna wires you can check out the Network section of Drivers and Downloads to see what cards the laptop should support.

Wagon Wheel Was Not on My List That Day
I had heard about a new lavender farm close to where I live and I wanted to visit and shoot some lavender flowers while they were still in full bloom. Unfortunately, that day was not ideal as it was very windy and rain was in the forecast. I tried very hard to capture beautiful lavender flowers that day but nothing really came out that satisfied me. Who could have thought that an old wagon wheel was going to be my picture of the day.
The Wagon Wheel by the Side Wall
As I left and was walking back to my car, I noticed an old wagon wheel by the side wall of a building at that lavender farm. My attention was drawn to that wagon wheel and I decided that I would shoot that old wagon wheel and try to make a good picture out of it. Some subjects are just meant for HDR and sometimes HDR technique will give you something out of nothing. So I took two sets of 3 exposures at different angles and decided to go home and work on those files.
Before I started processing these files of the wagon wheel, I looked at the raw files and noticed that the pictures were not very representative of what I had seen. They seemed to be missing, color, contrast and structure just like raw files often do. So I decided to process them with Photomatix and give it a try to see what I would get out of these raw files. I did a few versions and stop when I was satisfied with one of the results. I always try to make on picture that satisfies me when I go on a shoot. My goal is to make a great picture out of ordinary subjects. HDR that day, did just that for that old wagon wheel.
Here Is My Favorite
You will notice that the raw file on the left does not reveal as much detail and structure as the processed file in Photomatix does. You will agree with me that this subject was a natural for an HDR image. Finally, that day out to shoot lavender was not a total write off, I was able to get one good image even if it's not what I was going for.
Finally That Old Wagon Wheel Made My Day

Editor's note: This post has been edited to point out the latest updates from around the web on the controversial firing of Gamespot editorial director Jeff Gerstmann (Further note: the post hasn't really been edited -- we just thought that would make a funny intro.)
- If you missed it, check out Joystiq's analysis of the edits to Gerstmann's Kane & Lynch review.
- Gamespot staffers have further addressed the controversy on the site's Hot Spot podcast.
- After being taken down on Friday, Gerstmann's Kane & Lynch video review is back up on the Gamespot this morning.
The reasons behind this move and the initial removal are still unclear.UPDATE: On the Hot Spot podcast mentioned above, Ryan MacDonald said that the review was taken down not because of pressure from advertisers but because "the quality was not what [they] do."
- 1UP digs up another potential wrinkle to the story: "Our sources indicated CNET management had been dealing with a series of advertising vs. editorial issues on GameSpot -- Sony Computer Entertainment America came down on the site for scoring Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction a 7.5 just a few weeks prior to the Kane & Lynch incident -- and the Eidos Interactive situation was where they finally drew the line.
- Kotaku hears rumors that there may be "mass resignations" at Gamespot over the whole incident: "Our credibility is in ruins," says anonymous source.
- Also from Kotaku, the misleading "five star" review graphic on the Kane & Lynch site has been removed.
- MTV's Stephen Totilo talked to Gerstmann about editorial standards in the game press: "As for the future of game journalism, you asked if it's realistic for readers to expect a church and state separation between editorial and sales. Realistic or not, I think readers should demand that from a publication."
- Newsweek's N'gai Croal uses the Gerstmann controversy as a jumping off point to talk about the symbiotic/parasitic relationship between game publishers and the game press: "One would have to be naïve or foolish not to understand that there has always been a mutually beneficial relationship between journalists who cover consumer products or entertainment and the manufacturers or publishers of the goods in question."
- The controversy was mentioned briefly during Tuesday's edition of The Kojo Nnamdi Show on Washington D.C.'s NPR affiliate, WAMU (discussion begins around 44:50): "Apparently [there's] no firewall there between editorial and advertising. ... It certainly looks and smells fishy."
- Gamespot Associate Editor Kevin VanOrd, on losing a colleague: "It is confusing, upsetting, and hurtful. In the blink of an eye, my mentor no longer sits 50 feet from me. When I need advice and encouragement and shielding, my greatest advocate is no longer there to offer that kind of support."
- Sarcastic Gamer isn't feeling too sorry for Gerstmann: "Getting fired was the BEST thing to ever happen to the man. He has become an instant internet celeb, without the taking the sleazy amateur video route, and can basically cash his own ticket anywhere he chooses."
- Organizer Drew Watson talks to Audiogame about the in-person protests being planned for the CNET offices this weekend.

Ten week Countdown to Christmas - let's run/ diet/ shred/ c25k / glam-up together!(177 Posts)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I'm planning to shred in November. Not sure how to combine it with running though, I am only doing 5k 3 times a week at the moment but planning to build it up gradually. Has anyone else combined running and shredding?
I've no plans to change my diet, it's already pretty healthy. I do need to start moisturising or doing something with my skin though, especially if I start the shred. I'm allergic to my own sweat (now there's an excuse not to exercise ) and I get awful, itchy dry skin in places.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
can I join you?
im feeling rather pants about myself and my fitness at the moment
see my thread : where to start? (cant get it to link its just crashing the page when I try )
im trying to get brave enough to start the c25k and I do own a dusty copy of the shred somewhere
please give me a boot up my ample backside
I possibly should have mentioned that my 5k is always slow and painful I would love to be faster and I've tried to keep up with various other exercise (especially weights) but I need something with structure, otherwise I just don't bother. I'm hoping the shred will make me a bit faster and give me the boot I need to enter a 10k.
I did C25K earlier on this year, it's fantastic and doable even if your fitness level is close to zero.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I'm in, though I'm broken at the moment so no training. Sticking with the diet though!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I have new running shoes! that's a start right???
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I think I will join you as its got to the point where weight loss has slowed for me and I really need to go back to the basics of my eating plan. So Irn Bru and smoked sausage are going to have to be limited and I need to make sure I get all 8 of my fruit and veg each day more often than I do at the moment.
Exercise wise I am doing well, 4 metafits, 3 body balance, 3 kettlercise 2 boxfit, 2 body combat, a body pump, a body jam and a spin class each week along with running on the treadmill and my new weights plan set by my boxfit instructor. Yes it's a lot but I have been working up to this level for the last 13 months and most of it is done when the kids are at school or in bed saving me from planting myself infront of the tv eating crap!
I want to increase the amount of time I can run for on a treadmill (5/6 mins just now) before I try and run outside which I am looking to start doing in the spring as there is talk of doing the Scottish half marathon in september as well as Tough Mudder again in June and I would like to finish quicker than the 5 hours I did this year .
Oh I'll join you! I'm at a static weight and very wobbly. Want to lose 5kg and tone up a lot. I did start running recently, but due to a 3 week illness I'm starting from scratch again. Will do the C25K and the 30DS to start then want to move up to 5K210K and 6 pack in 6 weeks...think that takes me up to Xmas nicely....yes I'm very ambitious, just need a lot of motivation to actually start and then somehow actually stick to it!
Diet wise my eating has gone rapidly downhill as husband has been working away for 4 weeks and is still away for another 6. Going to try and do no snacking, hight protein low carb meals and lots of water. Good luck! <<<runs off to eat that last bar of Lindt>>>
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
McPie wow you are managing a lot! Well done! Are you very toned now?
So far so good, did shred after my morning coffee. Then spent the last 3 hours running around after my 5, 4 and 2 and 1/2 year old dcs in the pool etc...so that surely has helped as has worn me out! Going to a bbq this afternoon so no doubt will be in a pool again with the dcs.
Oh and the Lindt was SO good, but not going to have a bar that big to myself ever again!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I'll join. I want to shred every day then keep to around 1700 cals per day (mfp). Ideally loose 1 stone by Xmas. I will shred tonight when dh puts dd to bed.
SW spag bol for tea tonight so that's healthy.
Makingmama not even in the slightest sadly , I started at 15 1/2 stone and have lost 4 stone but still have to lose 17lb before the nurse will class me as healthy.
I have empty sacks for boobs and my stomach is very wrinkly and deflated but I now manage to fit into a size 12 which is something I never thought I could achieve when I started. I also have quite a small waist which has surprised some people, incliding the MIL who stated at the start I would never stick to it to someone she works with who I am very close to!
I can hold my own boxing against the big blokes and my Boxfit instructor, he was willing to give up his free time to write me up a weights plan and walk me round everything which must mean he doesn't think I'm that much of a lost cause .
I bought some Irn Bru earlier but it was a little diddy baby bottle not a can or a big bottle for a change. My problem is that I think that as I do so much a little treat won't hurt and before I know it I have had about 3 or 4 of them in the space of the day. My eating plan worked so well for me at the start and my energy levels are through the roof because I'm eating a healthy diet for a change but I really do need to go back to basics and not cheat and the next 10 weeks sound like a perfect excuse to do so.
WOW McPie what an inspiration you are! You've achieved so much and you must be so proud of yourself I'm going to put my trainers and weights out ready so I do the shred first thing again.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Hello everyone, please can I join? Would love to lose a stone by Christmas but trying to go slow and steady so we'll see. Using MFP and completed Lev1D7 of the shred today.
Biggest shock for me since counting calories has been olive oil! I used to chuck it on EVERYTHING... no more.
I need a stone off and to be generally in better nick by Christmas
I lost a stone (and one and a half dress sizes) over summer with 5:2ing and swimming 3 times per week. Its all gone to hell in a handcart since back to work and school groundhogness....
1. no more diet coke. or undecaffeinated coffee. gallons of water instead
2. I've managed to lay off the carbs but still desperate for sweet things. so no more sugar, break the habit
3. 3 swims per week minimum, and yoga at least once per week
4. Try running. At least one attempt
5. 5:2 next week, and maybe 4:3 the week after if all else is well in the world
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
future what's the zombie chase down? And try not to focus on the weight, I found making smaller targets e.g. focus on 7 lbs at a time helps not to overwhelm me.
Hi amateur have you noticed any changes yet up to day 7 with the shred?
meryl I also have a very sweet tooth, that's my big downfall...but going to try try try to curb it.
Have just done L1D2 of the shred, I was aching quite a bit after yesterday but managed to get through it once I'd warmed up a bit. It's nearly lunchtime and I haven't eaten anything yet so going to have eggs with salad and a chicken soup so I'll hopefully not need to snack before dinner. have a good day

Flirting Chat Rooms are For Fun and Flirting Without Any Conscience
December 4, 2009 by Vincent Yim
Filed under Dating tips
Go to flirting chat rooms if you want to chat with a perfect stranger. We live in the digital age, where everything happens at a blistering speed, the Internet has become a part of our lives and we cannot really do without it.
There are various Internet Messenger clients that allow users to log into a chat room and are the best way to flirt with a complete stranger. The chat rooms are filled with people from different regions, from different age groups and culture. The chat rooms supply a person sitting alone in a room to share his/her thoughts with someone thousands of miles away.
Although there are no specifically marked flirting chat rooms in most of the messenger clients, almost anyone can flirt in the chat room. Flirting commonly means to show someone that you like them. Eighty percent of human communication is through body language. So when you are restricted to texting your conversation the chats have to be innovative to be flirty enough. There are various tips on how to flirt online.
If you are ready to take the plunge in the online flirting games then here are a few tips to have a light hearted flirty conversation with another person:
- Keeping it simple : there is no need to use long messages, short ones do the job just fine, asking simple questions. When asked something about your life, do not start with your first day at school, answer in a light funny manner to get the other person interested.
- Humor : humor and laughter are the biggest weapons that you have in this flirting game, if you are funny then you can have a nice conversation with the stranger and keep them hooked to you.
- Keep your expectations real : always remember that flirting chat rooms are not supposed to find you the soul mate you are looking for. The appearances can be deceiving and you can very well be flirting with an octogenarian. The aliases people chat under give them the mask they need to feel carefree to flirt with a stranger. The essence is to stop the flirting games after one session and move onto other people. No level headed person will get serious about an online relationship.
- Compliments : people come to the chat rooms to have a nice time. Flirting secrets give them the much desired ego boost, so be generous with your bag of compliments.
Never ever share your personal information or photos with a stranger you have just met. And most importantly keep your online life and your personal life separate. So flirt to your heart's content and enjoy your little tryst with the flirting game in flirting chat rooms.

About this Guide
This guide contains basic instructions on how to use the ToolsCloud development environment. It is not intended to be an exhaustive guide for each tool available. You can find more comprehensive documentation at each tool's official website – links can be found here.
Getting started
When you purchase a ToolsCloud environment subscription, you'll receive:
- A URL to access your ToolsCloud environment with the following format: <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net . This is your access URL.
- A user name and a password to access the ToolsCloud Help Desk tool. You should use the Help Desk to report problems with your ToolsCloud environment.
- A initial "toolscloud" user and a password that you can use to start using your environment. Note that you should change the this user password as soon as you access your environment for the first time.
Please, make sure you have the information above to start configuring your environment.
All tools available in the ToolsCloud environment will be accessed using the access URL provided to you. The tools available and their URLs are:
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/users : the phpldapadmin tool, used to manage the users that will have access to the development environment.
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/redmine : he Redmine tool, an Issue Tracker.
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos : the Subversion source code manager tool;
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git : the GIT source code manager tool;
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/hudson : the Hudson Continuous Integration tool;
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/nexus : the Maven artifact repository Nexus;
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/toolscloud : the ToolsCloud Manager tool, used to manage your development environment;
- <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net : your access URL. It has links to all the other tools available.
- ftp://<USER>@<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net: address to access the FTP server of your ToolsCloud environment.
In order to start using your environment, you have to do the initial setup. First, go to https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/toolscloud/manager and provide the requested data. When you're finished, click in the "Generate Configuration" button. The configuration will only be applied when you restart the application servers. To do that, in the next screen, restart Apache and JBoss application servers.
How to create and modify the ToolsCloud users
The users that can access the ToolsCloud environment are managed by the LDAP server provided. You can access your environment LDAP server using the phpldapadmin tool. This tool is available in the URL: <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/users.
How to create a new user:
- Use the "toolscloud" user and the password your received to log in the phpldapadmin tool for the first time.
- Click on "Create New" in the tree path under "ou=users", as shown in the figure 1.Figure 1: Creating a new user
- In the next screen, choose the "User Account" option
- Provide the new user data, as shown in the figure 2Figure 2: New user data
- Note that the "Common Name" field has the user name that will be used by the user to log in all the tools. Try to choose a user name with no spaces or special characters, making it easier to use it as a log in user name. You can define a standard like firstName.lastName, for example, or only the person's first name, or any other convention you choose.
- In the GID Number field, choose the "accounts" option. This will automatically generate the user GID number.
- Click on "create object"
- In the next screem, click on "Insert new attribute"
- In the next form, choose "mail" and provide the user email. Then click on "Insert"
Note that the users can log themselves in the phpldapadmin tool to change their passwords, but they can't change other users's passwords, unless they have the administrator role.
How a user can change their own data:
- First, the user should log in the phpldapadmin tool using as "Login DN" the following: "cn=<username>,ou=users,dc=toolscloud,dc=com" . Where <username> is the value you informed in the "Common Name" field, as shown in figure 3.Figure 3: A user logging in
- Fiend the user registry in the tree under "ou=users" and click o in the registry, as shown in the figure 4Figure 4: Selecting a user on LDAP
- Modify the desired data and click on "Save Changes"
- In the next screen, click on "Confirm"
HOW to turn a user in a LDAP Administrator:
Users that are LDAP administrators can create new users, modify other users data and give access permissions to them. LDAP administrator users are the ones that are members of the "ldap-admin" group. If you want to make a user a LDAP administrator, to the following:
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool as a LDAP administator. If you never created a LDAP administrator user before, you can use the "toolscloud" user that you received with your ToolsCloud environment.
- Select the "ldap-admin" group in the tree under "ou=groups"
- Check the users you want to include in the ldap-admin group
- Click on "Save Changes"
How to change A User data:
- Log in the phpldapadmin with a LDAP administrator user
- Select the user you want to modify under the "ou=users" subtree
- Change the data and click on "Save Changes"
- In the next screen, click on "Confirm"
How to give access to the Hudson tool
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool with a LDAP administrator user
- Under the subtree ou=groups/ou=hudson-groups you'll see two subgroups: hudson-admin and hudson-users, as shown in figure 5. Members of the hudson-users group can use Hudson, start builds and more. Only members of the hudson-admin group can manage Hudson. It is possible to create new configurations and groups for Hudson. See the section How to create new access groups for Hudson if you want to create advanced configurations.Figure 5: Groups that can be used to control access to Hudson
- Select the group that you want to add users to it
- Check the users that will be part of this group and click on "Save Changes"
How to give access to the Nexus tool
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool with a LDAP administrator user
- Go to the ou=groups/ou-nexus-groups subtree. You'll see several subgroups under it, as shown in the figure 6. Each of these subgroups is linked to a role in Nexus. You can see which each role means by looking how each role is configured in Nexus. Note that these groups represent the roles available by default on Nexus, but you can create new roles on Nexus and add the corresponding group on LDAP.Figure 6: Groups that control the access to Nexus
- Select the subgroup linked to the role that you want to give to a user and add the user to it. Note that the same user can be part of more than one group.
- Click on "Save Changes
How to give access to a Subversion repository
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool with a LDAP administrator user
- Under the subtree ou=groups/ou=svn-groups you'll see a subgroup named "employees", as shown in figure 7. By default, no users or groups can read or write any project in the Subversion repository, but you can use the "employees" group to create access rules to Subversion. If you want to add a user to this group, select the group, check the users that will be part of the group and click on "Save Changes"Figure 7: Groups that control access to Subversion
You can also restrict the access to a particular path in the Subversion repository by creating new subgroups. For example, you could create a group named "projectX" and this group would contain only the users that can access the path <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/projectx . See the Configuring access to Subversion section in the ToolsCloud Manager guide to find out how to make group based configurations.
How to give access to a git repository
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool with a LDAP administrator user
- Under the subtree ou=groups/ou=git-groups you'll see a subgroup named "employees", as shown in figure 8. If you want to add a user to this group, select the group, check the users that will be part of the group and click on "Save Changes". By default, no group has read or write permissions on the initial GIT repository, named repository.git. If you want to give access to this repository, see the Configuring access to GIT section in the ToolsCloud Manager guide.Figure 8: Groups that control access to GIT
You can also restrict the access to a particular path in the GIT repository by creating new subgroups. For example, you could create a group named "projectX" and this group would contain only the users that can access the path <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/projectx.git . See theConfiguring access to GIT section in the ToolsCloud Manager guide to find out how to make group based configurations.
How to give access to the FTP server
- Log in the phpldapadmin tool with a LDAP administrator user
- Under the subtree ou=groups/ou=ftp-groups you'll see a subgroup named "employees", as shown in figure 8. If you want to add a user to this group, select the group, check the users that will be part of the group and click on "Save Changes".. Figure 9: Groups that control access to the FTP server
Members of the employees group have read and write permission to the FTP folders available on your ToolsCloud environment.
How to use Subversion
Your ToolsCloud environment has a pre-configured repository that can be accessed using the <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos URL. By default, all users in the "employees" group in the ou=groups/ou-svn-groups subtree have read and write permission in this repository. See how to add new users to this group here. You can alto restrict the access by Subversion path, creating new subgroups. For example, you could create a "projectX" group with users that could only access the path <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/projetox . See Configuring access to Subversion in the ToolsCloud Manager User Guide to learn how to create configurations by group.
You can visualize your Subversion repository content in a web browser using the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos . Note that the access via web browser has the same access restrictions applied to Subversion clients. Therefore, onlu users that have read access to the "/" path will be able to access the <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos URL . For example, if a user can only access the path "/projectx", he will be able to access only this URL <EMPRESA>.toolscloud.net/repos/projetox.
You can use graphic tools like TortoiseSVN or SmartSVN to access the Subversion repository, or command line commands, if you have a Subversion client installed in your computer.
See how to do the most common Subversion operations using command line:
Create a new project with the standard structure (trunk, tags and branches):
svn mkdir https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME> -m "Initial Commit" svn mkdir https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/trunk -m "Initial Commit" svn mkdir https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/tags -m "Initial Commit" svn mkdir https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/branches -m "Initial Commit"
Import a project source code to Subversion, after the project is created:
svn import <PROJECT_NAME> https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/trunk/ -m "Initial Commit"
To check if it worked, open the following URL on your browser: https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/trunk/
Checking out a project, i.e., retrieve the source code from the server to your computer:
svn co https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT_NAME>/trunk <PROJECT_NAME>
To commit code, i. e., send modified code to the server:
svn commit -m "Modifying code to test"
Updating the code, i.e., retrieving new version of the code from the server:
svn update
Seeing the change log:
svn log
If you already have a Subversion repository, you can import all its history to your new ToolsCloud repository. Note that your ToolsCloud repository should be empty in order to be able to do that.
Use the svnsync tool to import the history from another Subversion repository. This tool is usually installed with your Subversion client. To use this tool, run the following command in an empty folder:
svnsync init --username=<user-name> --password=<user-password> https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos https://<SOURCE_REPOSITORY> svnsync sync https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos
When you run this command, all source repository history will be imported to your ToolsCloud repository. Note that if your source repository is large, this operation can take a lot of time.
You can stop the importing process and restart it later. However, if you stop the process, when you run the svnsync sync command again, you will probably see the following error message: "Failed to get lock on destination repos". If this happens, remove the repository lock, by running this command:
svn propdel svn:sync-lock --revprop -r 0 https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos
After that, you can run "svnsync sync" again and restart the process
How to use GIT
Your ToolsCloud environment has a pre-configured repository that can be accessed using the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/repository.git . By default, no user has read or write access to this repository. Groups in the ou-groups/git-groups LDAP subtree should be used to configure who can have access to a repository. Your ToolsCloud environment has a pre-configured group called "employees". You can add users to this group and then use the ToolsCloud Manager tool to give the group permission to access GIT repositories. You can also restrict the access to a specific path by creating new groups. For example, you could create a "projectX" group that would have as members only the users that can access the path <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/repository.git/projectx. See Configuring access to GIT in the ToolsCloud Manager user guide to learn how to create configurations by group.
You can browse and see your GIT repository using your web browser. Just access the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git . Note that access to the repository via web browser is restrict by the same access rules applied to any GIT client. Therefore, only users that have permission to access the whole repository, i.e., the "/" path, will be able to access the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/ . For example, if a user has permission to access only the "/repository.git/projectx", he will be only allowed to access the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/repository.git/projectx.
You can also create new GIT repositories, if you want. To learn how to do that, see How to create new GIT repositories, in the ToolsCloud Manager User Guide.
You can access your GIT repository either using a graphic tool like TortoiseGIT or SmartGIT, or using command like, if you have a GIT client installed in your computer.
See how to use command line to execute some common GIT operations:
How to clone a remote repository:
git clone https://<USER>@<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/git/repository.git
How to add files to GIT:
git add .
This command adds all files in the current directory.
How to commit all local changes:
git commit -a
How to see all the local changes:
git diff
How to see the files status (what files were modified, etc):
git status
How to see the log of what was done:
git log
How to see what branches are available in the repository:
git branch
How to create a branch in a local repository:
git branch <BRANCH NAME>
Check the list of branches again. Note that the branch with an asterisk is where you are working on.
If you want to start working on another branch:
git checkout <BRANCH NAME>
To go back to the master branch:
git checkout master
To merge your changes in the master
git merge <BRANCH NAME>
To send all your changes to the remote repository:
git push --all
After doing this last command, browse the remote repository and see what happened. Note that each commit has always two users associated to it: the "author" is the one that changed the files and the "committer" is the one that executed the commit command. You can configure who will be the author with this command:
git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here" git config --global user.email firstname.lastname@example.com
How to use Redmine
You can access the Redmine tool using the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/redmine .
Redmine can be accessed by any user that registered on your LDAP base. However, the user will only access projects and Redmine content when he/she receives the appropriated access permission.
You should create profiles and permissions to Redmine on Redmine administration interface. However, a LDAP user will exist on Redmine only after he/she logs into Redmine for the first time. Because of that, before you can give access to a user to a particular project, the user has to log into Redmine at least once.
How to transform a user in a Redmine administrator:
- Log in Redmine as the LDAP user that will be the administrator. This will make Redmine to retrieve the user data from LDAP and the user will be created on Redmine. Log out from Redmine. Log in to Redmine again, but this time using a user name that is already a Redmine admistrator. If this is a new ToolsCloud environment, the toolscloud user will be the default administrator.
- Click on Administration/Users
- Find the user that you want to turn on administrator and select it
- Check the "Administrator" option and click on "Save"
How to give redmine access to a user:
- Make sure the user you want to give access was logged on Redmine at least once. This will make Redmine to retrieve the user's data from LDAP and create a Redmine user for him. Then, log in to Redmine with an administrator user. If this is a new ToolsCloud environment, the toolscloud user is the initial administrator.
- Click on Administration/Groups
- If there is already a group with the permissions you want to give to user, simply add the user to that group.
- If you prefer, add a new group
- In the "Users" tab, select the users that will be part of the group
- In the "Projects" tab, select the permissions that you want to give to the members of that group in each project.
How to create a new project:
- Click on Administration/Projects/New Project
- In the Name field, type the name of the project and in the identifier field, type a lower case project identifier. If you want allow only authorized users to access the project, uncheck the Public option.
- Check all available modules. This will make your project to have the features of all Redmine plugins available in the ToolsCloud environment
- Go to the Members tab and select who can access the project and what the members can do
- In the Versions tab you can create a new version for the project, if you want
- In the Repository tab, select Subversion or GIT and configure the project repository, if you want. See how to do this in the next section
- Go to the Forum tab and add a new forum for the project, if you want
how to associate git or subversion to redmine:
If there is a GIT or Subversion repository associated to your Redmine tool, you can see on each issue what were files were changed to solve that issue. Here is how to do this:
- First, you have to set which the Subverion or GIT repository will be used for your project. If you are using Subversion:
- Go to Administration/Projects and select your project
- Click on the Repository tab
- In the SCM field, select "Subversion"
- In the URL field, inform a Subversion URL, like https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT NAME>/trunk . Note that you can associate any path to this URL. In this example, only the trunk path is associated to the project, but it is possible to associate the whole project and its branches. It is also possible to make the path even more specific, like https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/repos/<PROJECT NAME>/trunk/codebase, for example. Note, however, that the larger the repository, more time will be required to Redmine to collect repository statistics. Because of that, if you have a large repository, try to use more limited paths, so the amount of processed data is not too large.
If you are using GIT:
- In the Administration/Projects select your project
- Click on the Repository tab
- In the SCM field, select "GIT"
- In the Path to .git directory field, put the local disk path to your GIT repository. In the ToolsCloud environment, this path is always /applications/git/<REPOSITORY NAME>. If you are using the default repository, the path will be /applications/git/repository.git .Note, however, that the larger the repository, more time will be required to Redmine to collect repository statistics. Because of that, when using GIT, a good practice is to use several smaller repositories, usually one repository to each project.
- When Redmine is integrated to the repository, you can commit changes putting in the commit comment something like this: "IssueID #X – Message". In this example, X is the issue code. When you have done this, you can go to the issue page on Redmine and you will see your commit associated to it. All GIT or Subversion commits that have IssueID #<Issue Number> in the comments, will be automatically show up in the corresponding issue page on Redmine.
You can access your Hudson instance through the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/hudson .
Hudson can be accessed by users in the hudson-users LDAP group. Users in the hudson-admin LDAP group will be Hudson administrators.
So, to give a user access to Hudson, do this:
- Add the user to LDAP using the phpldapadmin tool
- In the LDAP tree, select groups/hudson-groups and select the group you want to put the user on (hudson-users or hudson-admin).
- Check the users that you want to add to the group and save your changes.
After that, the user can log into Hudson and use it.
The Hudson installation available in the ToolsCloud environment has some pre-installed plugins to give you a better user experience. One of the pre-installed plugins is the one that allows to integrate Hudson with Redmine. Since this is available, when you create a new Hudson task, you can inform what is the corresponding project at Redmine. This will allow you to see the issues associated to each build.
how to create new access groups for Hudson
You can create more complex access rules to Hudson using LDAP groups. If you need other groups besides the hudson-users and hudson-admin groups, you can do this:
- In the main Hudson screen, click on "Manage Hudson"
- In he next screen, click on "Configure System".
- In the form, look for a section called "Authorization". You'll see the ROLE_HUDSON-ADMIN group (corresponding to the hudson-admin LDAP group) and ROLE_HUDSON-USERS (corresponding to the hudson-users group). You can add new groups or change the permissions in the current groups. Note that each new LDAP group should be under the hudson-groups group. Also, note that when you refer to the same group on Hudson, you should concatenate the group name with the "ROLE_" prefix. For example, if you create a LDAP group called "readonly", the same group on Hudson should be ROLE_READONLY.
How to use the Nexus tool
The Nexus tool can be accessed using the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/nexus .
In order to have access to Nexus, the LDAP users should be members of one of the groups under the ou=groups/nexus-groups group. Each subgroup will give the user a set of specific permissions, that you can configure on Nexus. See How to give access to the Nexus tool for more information.
When you have all the users with the right permissions, you have to configure your /.m2/settings.xml file with something similar to this:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> <servers> <server> <id>Releases</id> <username><!-- your user name --></username> <password><!-- your password --></password> </server> <server> <id>Snapshots</id> <username><!-- your user name --></username> <password><!-- your password --></password> </server> <server> <id>nexus</id> <username><!-- your user name --></username> <password><!-- your password --></password> </server> </servers> <mirrors> <mirror> <id>nexus</id> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> <url>https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/nexus/content/groups/public/</url> </mirror> </mirrors> <profiles> <profile> <id>alwaysActiveProfiles</id> <repositories> <repository> <id>central</id> <url>http://central</url> <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases> <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>central</id> <url>http://central</url> <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases> <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> <activeProfile>alwaysActiveProfiles</activeProfile> </activeProfiles> </settings>
Don't forget to put your user name and password and the right Nexus URL on the settings.xml file.
If you want to deploy your artifacts to Nexus via maven, you have to configure the distributionManagement section of your project pom.xml with the following:
<distributionManagement> <repository> <id>Releases</id> <name>ToolsCloud Releases Repository</name> <url>dav:https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url> </repository> <snapshotRepository> <id>Snapshots</id> <name>ToolsCloud Snapshots Repository</name> <url>dav:https://<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> </snapshotRepository> </distributionManagement>
Make sure to put the right URL for your ToolsCloud environment. Also, when you change your pom.xml, don't forget to commit your changes on Subversion or GIT, so all the users can have them!
How to use the ToolsCloud Manager tool
The ToolsCloud Manager tool can be accessed through the URL <COMPANY>.toolscloud.net/toolscloud/manager .
To learn how to use the ToolsCloud Manager tool, see the ToolsCloud Manager User Guide.
How to use the FTP server available in your ToolsCloud environment
Your ToolsCloud environment has an FTP server that can be accessed through the following URL: ftp://<USER>@<COMPANY>.toolscloud.net .
Using FTP, you can access and modify some folders in your environment. You can read and write on your Hudson work folders and the .m2 folder, where the Maven repository used by the Hudson tool is stored. You can also create new folders and files.

THE stalking horse is an equine breed that only seems to be seen in political environments, and then only when the leader of the day is so weak he or she can't keep the animal locked up in the stable.
Margaret Thatcher was supposed to be a stalking horse when she managed to oust Ted Heath as leader of the Tories but instead won by several lengths. She herself had to face a stalking horse, Sir Anthony Meyer, a year before the Iron Lady was removed by her own MPs.
Since then, despite rumours of the breed making appearances again, there have been no sightings until apparently at the weekend, when it was suggested that Windsor MP Adam Afriyie may be about to be the elusive beast, preparing to challenge David Cameron.
Mr Afriyie is said to have choked on his oats, or whatever he was eating for breakfast, when he read the reports of his alleged intentions, which he immediately denied. However, even talk of a stalking horse is a sign that a leader is in deep trouble.
Reasons for this include the possible triple-dip recession looming, a feeling that there is an elite set of old Etonians running the party and the country, U-turns on almost everything and a modernisation agenda including support for gay marriage which is driving party members away in their droves.
Most of all, many Tories are not convinced the Prime Minister can lead them to victory and regard Labour's poll lead with a growing feeling of pessimism and despair. Strangely, it is this fact that appears to make most advisors around Downing Street feel happiest .
Downing Street sources point to two facts which suggest that a victory in 2015 is still well within their grasp, despite the years of austerity. First, Mr Cameron's ratings are consistently better than those of the Labour leader Ed Miliband.
The three YouGov polls this year highlight this, although is a question of who is less bad. Mr Cameron's rating was -19, -18 and -14, actually not bad at all for a sitting Prime Minister. However, Mr Miliband has ratings of -23, -20 and -22.
Then there are the Conservative mid-term ratings which average 31.5 per cent in the last 25 polls and range between 27 and 34 points. Tories argue that it is rare for a governing party, particularly one having to make some very unpopular decisions, to be consistently polling in the 30s. You have to remember they just got 37 per cent in the 2010 election.
The last ICM poll interestingly saw the Labour lead drop to just five points. Maybe a blip, but evidence of a fear several senior Labour figures have privately expressed that their lead is soft, based on nothing positive but a negative reaction to the coalition.
So while the Tory discontents on the backbenches may be planning a plot against a man they think could be a loser, the evidence suggests that he may still be first past the post.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 20)
Premier David Ben Gurion has set November 16 as the deadline for the return of the National Religious Party to the coalition government, he informed his Cabinet at a regular meeting yesterday.
If the religious ministers do not return by that date, he warned, he would Distribute their portfolios–which he now holds personally on a temporary basis–among the other Ministers. The portfolios previously held by religious leaders are Posts, and Religion and Social Welfare.
The religious elements in the Ben Gurion government walked out several months ago in the wake of a sharp disagreement widely known as "who is a Jew." The religious party objected to a proposal that the government distribute identity cards permitting each resident to identify himself as a Jew on his own authority, without recourse to Jewish law or religious authority. The split left the Ben Gurion coalition in command of a tiny majority in Parliaments

First Child of Kate Middleton, Prince William to Inherit Throne Regardless of Genderby Free Britney at . Comments
It's official. Following a change in ascension rules, boy or girl, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be the next heir to the British throne.
The leaders of the 16 governments with Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state have unanimously agreed to change the laws in their realms to allow this.
Under current laws, the immediate heir is the first-born son of the monarch. Going forward, the immediate heir will be the first-born child of the monarch.
That means if Prince William and Kate Middleton have a girl as their first child, she will be the future queen, regardless of whether one or more sons follow.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said, "Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen."
Cameron personally applauded the move, adding that the UK stresses gender equality in all facets of life, making this a logical change to their traditions.
Queen Elizabeth II's son, Prince Charles, is next in line for the throne, followed by Will. The royal hunk will be the king of more than a dozen countries.
Those nations are Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Papua New Guinea, St. Christopher & Nevis, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Tuvalu, Barbados, Grenada, Solomon Islands, St. Lucia and the Bahamas.

America Almost Gets It Rightby Hilton Hater at . Comments
If a baseball player were to get a hit three out of every four at bats, he'd be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
If three out of every four couples on The Bachelor got married, viewers might not consider the show more of a farce than Sarah Palin's claims to be a serious political figure.
Still, when American Idol viewers only get three out of four eliminations correct, the one they overlooked stands out the most.
Can anyone out there explain why Lacey Brown will be singing next week, while Michelle Delamor will be watching from home?!? The former simply doesn't have the voice to compete, while the latter comes across as stiff sometimes, but can undoubtedly carry a major tune. Sigh.
We do give America props got eliminating Haeley "I Smile Like a Doll" Vaughn, Jermaine "God is My Homie" Sellers and John "There's Nothing Special About Me" Park.
And after Crystal Bowersox blew us away this week, it's hard to complain about anything. But Delamor deserved to stick around.
It was also nice to see Danny Gokey again. We've posted a photo of his performance below, as well as a few more from the results show:
