LightSource by Crestron is the most comprehensive lighting control and automation system available. Crestron have utiltised their extensive knowledge to ensure seamless integration with the entire Crestron range whilst providing stand alone Lighting control and dimming. We have lots of experience designing and installing Crestron lighting systems - either stand alone or part of a whole home audio visual installation and can control any type of lamp.
The range includes a huge variety of keypads and touchpanels, available in a wide range of colours and finishes. Due to our custom programming services there is no need to visit every room closing blinds and setting light levels. One button press on your Crestron interface can set the rooms to your nighttime scene - blinds closed, curtains drawn and lights at your preferred levels. Should you wish to change the use of a room, for instance entertaining rather than watching a film, one button press will change the light levels.
Crestron's PAC2 processor is specifically designed to be house in one of their architectural lighting enclosures and allows seamless integration with the rest of the Crestron range of products such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning), Security and Audio Visual systems.
The Crestron range of digital light dimming solutions includes products for most applications - we can dim mains, lox voltage lights, compact fluorescent and LED's. The actual dimmers are hidden away with only a stylish keypad on show and are scalable - we design light dimming systems for one room through to whole house and office block systems. The range is complemented by devices like motion detectors and light sensors. Imagine the lights automatically switching on when you enter a room or the lights slowly rising as dusk falls. The same light sensor could also drop the blinds or close the curtains should the light be too bright on a summers day - resulting in perfect lighting whatever the weather.
Daylight sensors can automatically raise the lights when darkness falls whilst lowering blinds or drawing curtains. These daylight sensors are part of the new lighting panel range pictured right which means each room can have independent control.
New from Crestron are the GreenLight DIN-Rail modules - designed to take up less space than the traditional light dimming equipment. The range is perfect for small spaces and includes modules to dim low voltage lamps, incandescent and 2 wire dimmable fluorescent - among other things. We now have a dedicated page on the Crestron DIN rail lighting solutions, please click here for details.

News of Pope Benedict XVI'sresignation spread quickly early Monday morning. However, not everyone was totally surprised.
Bishop Gregory Hartmayer, Diocese of Savannah, saw the Pope just last week in Italy. He said there was no talk of retirement or resignation, but Hartmayer had a feeling change was coming.

Famous quotes containing the words parts, train, excellent and/or quality:
"He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, Give me the co-ordinates.... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!"
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
"An immoderate fondness for dress, for pleasure, and for sway, are the passions of savages; the passions that occupy those uncivilized beings who have not yet extended the dominion of the mind, or even learned to think with the energy necessary to concatenate that abstract train of thought which produces principles.... that women from their education and the present state of civilized life, are in the same condition, cannot ... be controverted."
—Mary Wollstonecraft (17591797)
"How would it be possible if salvation were ready to our hand, and could without great labor be found, that it should be by almost all men neglected? But all things excellent are as difficult as they are rare."
—Baruch (Benedict)
"Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of societys illsfrom crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments."
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)

Trigger Warning: This blog post talks about a topic that many individuals in the transgender community do not like to talk about and that is de-transitioning. It has left a "black mark" on my reputation in the trans community and I hope you will read this post without judging me. If you are an individual that is struggling with your transition and are thinking about giving up: DON'T. This situation is unique and I am mostly happy with how I am now, but I do not want this post to influence anyone to give up on their transition as their life, I guarantee, is completely different than mine. Please read this cautiously!!
My name was Julie Schippnick. I lived from April 2011 to March 2013... while I didn't make it to two years old, it was some of the craziest and best times of my personal identity. I felt free in a lot of ways but trapped at the same time. As I've mentioned previously in other blog posts and to my nearly 25,000 followers on G+ I never took the extra step of going on hormones to change my body's physiology. Friends and people I barely knew on the Internet always offered to either send me the hormones from their own supply or pay for them directly if I went to places like Planned Parenthood or medical consent clinics and I turned them down primarily for two reasons: being too scared and I didn't want to because of my wife Kelly.
If you've been following my blog for a while you'd already know that in February of this year (2013) Kelly had kicked me out and I was forced to stay in a hotel for a week because we just weren't willing to compromise on my individuality being set on becoming Julie. Both my wife and I weren't willing to budge because I wanted to be free and she just wanted her husband back; what I was doing was completely selfish in every way. Giving up the love of my life plus my perfect children just wasn't something I could go through. Imagine this: you've been married for seven years (at that time) and your spouse is telling you to leave forever and that you'd never have a normal relationship with your kids... I just couldn't do it. Well, I thought I was just going to still go through it all with getting my own apartment and transition no matter what Kelly or anyone else says and while in the end I lost my job because of my instability with my depression, anxiety, and a whole mess of different phobias I hit a low point.
After I lost my job (mind you I got fired after coming back to work from short term disability because I wasn't ready to really go back), I did get back with Kelly on the promise that I would no longer pursue being a woman and be a man again and at that time I was super certain that I could do this but as time kept going on, my hair was still long and we still had problems due to the interference of her mother I started to immediately regret my decision. What was I supposed to do? I didn't feel like anything had improved since getting back with Kelly and I told her that I still wanted to do this... so I applied for jobs all over the country and ultimately was offered a job in Philadelphia and immediately started fielding friends on various social networks I could stay with until I got in a good position to finally take care of my family and when I had to pack for my trip I packed some of my male clothes and nearly all of my female clothes because I was most certainly going to transition. I suppose fate was telling me something when the flight got cancelled and the job offer was rescinded as I could not show up for my first day of orientation. On the way home that night after Kelly picked me up some nearly two hours after my flight got cancelled, I told Kelly I would hold off on my whole transition for two years, which would have been around the time she would graduate with her Master's Degree in Psychology and that is an answer she did not want to hear.
|Dec 2012.. when I took this picture I thought everything would
be just fine. How I kidded myself so much.. I was so naive then.
I was lucky enough to start a new job with a really nice tech company at the end of July and I was still pretty much set on re-transitioning back to Julie after that two year period and this was something that Kelly dwelled on inside of her mind for several weeks because one day when I was at work she just stopped talking to me completely via phone and text. I was really worried because any time Kelly cut herself off from communicating with me she was usually one of two things or both: angry or afraid. As she had the car at the time she dropped me off that morning, we kissed and said our "love yous" and I thought it was going to be a great day and I already knew in my mind that she was kicking me out again as this was the same thing that happened the last two times so I did what anyone else in this situation would do and I was able to secure a ride home that night and when I got home I saw all of my stuff in a laundry basket on the front porch and the locks were changed. Now, being my house I had every right to gain entry but I wasn't just going to vandalize or break a window to get in which meant I called my dad and he drove up from Altus, OK to Edmond and we got inside by breaking the lock, packed up everything else that I needed such as my computer, some more of my clothes and my personal items and headed down to Altus, OK for the next five days while I coped with what just happened.
Every day I was down there with my dad I was extremely somber and I didn't leave the bed unless I had to eat or use the toilet and as I was getting eaten up by pill bugs and who knows what else was living in that bed, I contemplated about killing myself because I was so lonely without Kelly and over that period we re-bonded via text messages, phone calls, and even Google+ hangouts from mobile and I informed her that I was thinking about just de-transitioning altogether because living without her and the kids just wasn't something I wanted to do; I would be dead inside forever. Now please be mindful, I am not trying to vilify Kelly in any way and I only see her as unfairly misguided by her evil mother. Things have been tough without any sort of income, having to sell off things I wish I didn't have to part with (Nintendo 3DS, PS3 games, Fish Tank, etc) I think things would be a million times worse if I didn't have my family.
I will miss being Julie and while that is in the past, I still consider myself transgender... maybe not genderqueer, intersexed or any of the other terms under the trans umbrella but I will not forget a single moment of what I've been through and I think I'm unique in that I was able to live a nearly two full years as a woman which allowed me to get a pretty good perspective and even more respect for what women, not just trans-women, go through every day of their life.
So thank you Julie, I love you.
|This is me now. I am reborn simply as J.
Now this doesn't mean I'm done blogging! No, that is not going to happen but I feel like this blog is no longer home to someone who is not Julie. I am starting a new blog which you can check me out over at:
See you soon!

When you or a loved one becomes a Hospice patient, the last thing you'll want to worry about is insurance coverage. The final stages of a fatal disease can devastate a family mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. Hospice care is available under Medicare Part A to help ease the burden for a family in all four of the above areas.
It is critical that a family has this coverage when a loved one reaches the final stages of cancer, kidney disease, or other similar life-threatening diseases. The patient will usually need around-the-clock care at home during this time, and Hospice workers can help relieve the family of some of the care-giving burdens as well as provide proper health care assistance that only a medical professional could provide.
Hospice is a Medicare program designed to provide care in a person's home for a person who has a terminal disease. A Medicare-approved Hospice will administer reasonable non-curative medical services and support for patients with a terminal illness. All services are designed to have a plan of care coordinated by the attending physician and the Hospice team.
Home and inpatient care are provided through Part A in addition to other services that are not otherwise covered by Medicare. A Hospice patient will no longer receive treatment to cure the illness. The Hospice program is designed to provide care and make the patient as comfortable and pain free as possible. The focus is to maximize the quality of life for each day the patient has remaining.
Not everyone is eligible for Hospice care. Certain requirements are laid out to ensure that only the patients and families who truly need Hospice services will receive them. The Hospice eligibility requirements are listed below.
Hospice care receives a special benefit period. The benefit period does not have to be consecutive. You can choose care for two three-month periods followed by unlimited two-month periods. The only requirement is that the patient is certified as a Hospice patient at the beginning of each period.
Hospice care can be altered once each benefit period. Hospice care may be cancelled at any time, and the patient may return to the standard Medicare benefits; however, any days remaining in that period will be lost. If later the patient wants to return to the Hospice care program, he/she may do so during the next benefit period. The exception to this is if the patient keeps the Medicare Part B plan. Part B may in this case be used for other services as long as they do not relate to the terminal illness.
The Hospice program covered by Medicare includes physician services, intermittent 24-hour, on-call nursing care, any illness related medical appliances or supplies, and pain and symptom management outpatient drugs. The program also includes acute short-term and respite care, homemaker and home health aide services. Other services provided are physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social services, and counseling. Any and all services related to the treatment of the terminal illness have to be covered as well.
There are some limitations to Hospice coverage. The treatments Medicare will not pay for include any treatment that is not for pain or symptom management. It also will not pay if the patient has an additional health care provider that covers the same services that Hospice provides.
Your Medicare plan will pay the Hospice expenses. Costs will vary depending upon the care required. The patient will be responsible for the following:
Since the start of Hospice services many years ago, families all over the United States have benefited tremendously from the program. It's well worth looking into if you or a family member has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. It's good to understand your eligibility status and how Hospice works beforehand so you will be prepared if tragedy strikes your family.

(Reuters) – At least 42 people were killed on Monday when Islamist demonstrators enraged by the military overthrow of Egypt's elected President Mohamed Mursi said the army opened fire during morning prayers at the Cairo barracks where he is being held.
But the military said "a terrorist group" tried to storm the Republican Guard compound and one army officer had been killed and 40 wounded. Soldiers returned fire when they were attacked by armed assailants, a military source said.
The emergency services said more than 320 were wounded in a sharp escalation of Egypt's political crisis, and Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood urged people to rise up against the army, which they accuse of a military coup to remove the elected leader.

Your Profile Page
Your profile page is where you can tell other members a bit about yourself. NicaLiving is an on-line community and for us to function as a community we need to know a bit about each other.
The more you tell us, the more helpful we can be. That said, some people are concerned with privacy. Let me put that in perspective. First, if you are doing anything over the Internet, if someone wants to find out who you are, they pretty much can do it. Thus, NicaLiving disclosures should be the least of your worries.
If you are seriously concerned, here are some options:
- You don't have to disclose your real name. Using something "realistic" may make sense because, someday, you may meet in person. But, if your legal name is "Harold Lloyd Chest Fur", disclosing that you are "Harry C." or just "Harry" doesn't give much away.
- Date of birth is being asked to get an idea how old you are. Talking to a 10 year old or a 70 year old is different if for no other reason than life experience. If you are really scared we will know too much, just put in your birth year (or something close).
- Your address information and country of birth is, again, to know a bit about who you are to better be able to communicate. Someone born in China and living in Thailand is not likely to have the same perspective on Nicaragua as someone born in El Salvador and living in Jinotega.
- Finally, that photo. There are lots of reasons why having a real photo is a good thing including being able to recognize you when someone needs to pick you up at the airport. On the other hand, it is a big disclosure. If you really don't want your photo here we understand but adding a photo that tells us something about you is a big help. For example, if you life's passion is to train dogs, putting up a photo of a dog helps.
Due to popular demand, a phone number field has been added to the "Personal information" part of your profile. It is optional and the intent is for Nicaragua phone numbers. We will add a report that displays all members with information in that field at some later time--to more or less create a NicaLiving phone book.
Private Message vs. Personal Contact Form
While both offer ways for other members to contact you, they work quite differently. The Private Message option allows another logged-in member to leave you a message in your "inbox" here. These messages go from "screenname to screenname" and do not disclose anything about you.
If you enable your personal contact form, members are able to send you email by filling out a form here. This goes directly to your (not otherwise disclosed) private email address. This will cause the sender's email address to be made available to the recipient. If the recipient then replies this will, of course, send back the original recipient's email address to the original sender.
Change things in my profile
Can anyone tell me how to change details in my profile? many thanks. Petitmoifromfrance

A Colorado fugitive was arrested by police early Tuesday morning after a high-speed chase that stretched through Clearfield and neighboring Layton before ending in Morgan County.
Clearfield police Sgt. Kyle Jeffries said officers were dispatched to the Pinnacle Apartments at 1100 S. 200 East just before 2 a.m. on a tip that the 48-year-old man and a 1996 GMC Sonoma reported stolen out of Rifle, Colo., had been spotted in the area.

|Post a Comment
Jeffries said officers, warned that the suspect may have a firearm, approached with caution when they found the suspect inside the parked Sonoma. The man sped away, eventually stopping after the chase left Davis County and went into Morgan County.
The man surrendered at that point, was handcuffed and was booked into Davis County Jail on suspicion of evading police, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, possession of stolen property, possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of ammunition by a restricted person.
He was being held without bail.

Twerk It, Girl! Miley Cyrus' 7 Hottest Instagram Photos This Year
Miley Cyrus loves showing off what she's got—whether it's onstage or in a music video. And sometimes, she hosts a scandalous photo shoot herself through the magic of Instagram!
Here, see her hottest shots and sexiest snaps:
Miley knows where she wants you to look!
We know you're probably staring at her cleavage--like she most likely wants you to--but we're focusing on the vulnerability of this shot.
Miley doesn't discriminate--she'll pucker up to anyone, even if she has to stoop and squat down to do it. And especially if a camera is nearby!
This was an outtake from her Rolling Stone cover. Screw white hot, that bikini is black hot. (And she looks better here than she did on the cover, because her eyeliner is still intact!)
This is supposed to be a promo shot for her song "23" with Juicy J, but c'mon--did you even notice the numbers? We think you're probably preoccupied looking at what the logos are covering up ... and that waist!
She can't stop. She won't stop. And we hope she doesn't.
She was Lil' Kim for Halloween, and says she was Lil' Kim in a past life. And maybe in a pastied life.

Berlin - Bayern Munich boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Tuesday attacked FIFA president Sepp Blatter by describing him as being like a slippery 'eel' at the head of a 'dictatorship'.
"I believe Sepp is like an eel, who you can never really grasp," Rummenigge said on German football show LIGA total! when asked about the FIFA boss.
"It will be difficult to convince him to make room. For others or perhaps also for a new start."
Rummenigge also said he believes world soccer's governing body FIFA is "neither transparent nor democratic".
"I find it a pity that there are such relics left which are led like a dictatorship," he added.
In June this year, Blatter was voted in by FIFA's delegates for a fourth term in office after receiving 186 of the 203 votes cast to remain in charge until 2015.
Blatter was unopposed in the election because his rival Mohamed Bin Hammam, president of the Asian Football Federation, pulled out after being suspended over bribery allegations.

I'll say it again, I'm addicted to markdown.

Your closing, "There's nothing wrong with sitting healers. Just be clear and direct with them on why they got sat and what they can do in the future to ensure that it doesn't happen again."
Is at odds with, "You whisper the healer and tell him that you need him to step out right now. He asks why and proceeds to throw a tantrum. This is actually the easier of the two because if he blows up, you may as well have a reason to punt him out of the guild."
Simply telling someone to step out without stating why, if you are a guild without a clear policy for stepping out, is going to illicit questions. Expecting someone to simply harth with no explanation is terrible. Tell them you want to try a slightly different healer comp, or that you are asking them to step out due to performance issues that you will discuss with them following the raid. If you want them to stay around for a different fight, make sure you are communicating this as well.
Some people make the mistake of thinking a legitimate question is a tantrum. When you think you're doing fine, and someone wants to sit you and you've never been sat before it's going to put your back up, and your anxiety is going to go through the roof. Strong, clear, and non abrasive or rude communication at that point is needed from the healing lead.
Keep in mind that many smaller guilds don't have healing leads, and the ones asking a healer to sit is often going to be the raid lead. If this is an advice column, I think it should give good advice, not give people cause to kick their healers from their guild due to what amounts to a communication issue, lag, bad layout design, etc.
Also, my guild has adapted a healer channel. To make a channel in wow type /join whatevernameyouwanthere
We do not have a healing lead, but if the MT/RL joins this channel in addition to all of our healers and if there is issues for a wipe he believes is caused by the healing, he will ask questions such as -- do I need to reposition the group, why does x player keep dying. Sometimes the healers speak up with these questions themselves. I recommend every guild, even smaller guilds adapt one. It keeps their communication clutter free and out of raid chat, and allows them to function as a team, not competitors. After implementing one in my guild we've often found ways to fix the issues we're having with certain fights, and found ways to make the best of each of our strengths, as sitting healers for us isn't a possibility.
"Keep in mind that many smaller guilds don't have healing leads..."
Smaller guilds may not have a healing lead, but they do have a raid leader and a guild leader (usually the same person), who can do the same job. This article, though, seems more directed at guilds that :
1. Have the ability to swap healers
2. Have someone directly in charge of the healers
and 3. Have mature, knowledgeable players.
The note about 'asking a legit question' and it coming across as a tantrum, more often than not, when someone is told to leave a raid for any circumstance, there's less "Excuse me, what exactly was the problem, so I can fix it?" and more "OMG U F*CKING F**GOT, Y U KICK ME?!?!?! I HOPE U FAIL!!!" and such. And, THOSE are the people that Matt aimed the kick comment to. The immature, disruptive players who also can't keep up with their position's demands.
BUT, props on the healing channel comment. I may have to use that
Its "asks why _and_ proceeds to throw a tantrum" not "asks why or proceeds to throw a tantrum". I can see nothing wrong with the raider asking why, and he should be told why if he asks. I can also see the raid leader saying that we will talk about this later and the raider needs to respect that, because the raid is about the team and not about an individual and raid time is not the time to get into lengthy discussions.
A tantrum or really any bad attitude is good reason to kick someone from a guild if they show a history of that.

Any way to prevent notepad or Emacs from making file associations?
I have an ongoing problem with using Emacs on a Windows 7 machine. When I edit a .bat file and save the file, Emacs updates the registry with an association to 'open' .bat files with the Emacs editor. Batch files then fail to run properly, as they get open with Emacs rather then simply being run by a Command prompt window.
Its quite a bother, since I continually ahve to edit my registry to fix this automatic file association. Anyone know of a way to lock file associations for .bat files, or disable automatic registry updates by programs like Emacs or Notepad?

Notepad doesn't do this. If it does on your system then there is something else involved.
There must be a setting in Emacs to stop it from doing this as well. Look through the .emacs file, I think this controls optional stuff. If not, find another editor.

The importance of 'whole journey' email encryption
It is very rare for an organisation to mandate less security in its IT systems. In fact, the relentless march of new threats places pressure on us all to increase our levels of security, to ensure we can match new and emerging attacks. Email is one of the most potent business tools that we have, but also one of the most …
Very good BUT...
1) With end to end encryption you are relying on the capabilities of desktop security software to protect your company and users. Which is the bigger threat? Somebody capturing the email on the network OR somebody with end-end encryption abusing it with NSFW or confidential information?
2) The key advantage of end to end as you describe it here is to protect against internal attackers. Sorry but if somebody is on your network to that extent then you are pretty much stuffed anyway... It doesn't matter how good your end-end encryption is, it won't help against a keystroke logger.
Goodbye Media Defender
Encryption is all well and good, until you involve humans in the process. See Media Defender's (big) mistake for a perfect example:
I use client-side (PGP and GnuPG) encryption all the time. Some of our partners are pretty tinfoil.
I keep all email from them encrypted on my client, to be decrypted when read. This is the standard EnigMail setting (I'm not sure if you can have it the way PGP does it, which is to decrypt on the way to your client, which stores them decrypted).
You ever tried searching through hundreds of PGP-encrypted emails?
The Irish Peace Dividend ........ In the Beginning, was their Chaos.
"Asking users to manually encrypt emails each time they are sent is a surefire recipe for wasted investment in security technology."
XXXXPecting Email Service Providers to Apply Appropriate Security Measures for Hosted Traffic would enable Network and InterNetworking Users to Share Information Freely with the Onus being put on the System to Server and Protect.
That would necessarily mean that the System is responsible for providing Intelligence, rather than twiddling their thumbs, gathering IT.
Have they never tried Creative ProAction ..... NeuReal Content for Media Players to Feast upon with Relish rather than avoid like the Plague?
Only for those Shock and Awe War World Weary Players MetaMorphing into Havok Modus Operandi/Vivendi. Ca Ira UniVersal Forces 2 ...... Home is where the Heart is.
don't let the email leave your site if possible
only permit tls smtp from client to mail server
only allow secure imap type of service so mails don't reside on the client, and ensure that saving the password in the mail client is disabled
and thus do your best to ensure the emails themselves don't leave the server. the only snag is that many mail clients save attachments to temporary storage and don't delete them afterwards, so whilst the email is safe the confidential document attached does leak.
Just don't use SMTP
It was never designed to be secure. Try X.500 instead.
How can you have "end to end encryption" with "checking for keywords"?
Please El Reg stop carrying crap from Bloor Research. If they are paying you to do so, tell me which adds to click and I'll happily click a hundred!
Complete encryption is possible and can be made mandatory using public & private key pairs. However, the encryption must happen as the e-mail is written so you can't "snoop" the contents on the way otherwise it wouldn't be encrypted! And, of course, any partners need to have the public key of the person sending it in order to be able to read it. Distributing and installing the keys would be more of a challenge but not insurmountable: the number of business contacts anyone has probably doesn't change that much. But this is much more about teaching people about security than technology. And that is where the whole project fails.
Anyone used Exchange?!
Um, sorry security expert who advised on this, but the worlds most popular email platform (Exchange) by default encrypts ALL internal traffic, regardless of connectivity method - other than SMTP/POP3/IMAP. Mobile devices, webmail, desktop etc - all encrypted out of the box.
No use for external email mind, but the first page is all about internal traffic and out of the box Exchange not only supports it, but enables it.
What a bunch of crap...
...talking about internal intruders snooping on plaintext email discussing promotions, pay raises, redundancies and whatnot.
To do this without leaving a trace would require that the intruder compromise the network's email, so they can read the juicy traffic, and activity logging systems, so they can cover their tracks. If someone's got that far, chances are the admin credentials they've compromised also grant access to the PKI infrastructure, meaning they'll also be able to get around and encryption that's been put into place.
The scenario the article describes requires that the target organisation, essentially, employs a blackhat and gives them God-level access to the network... if that's the case, the organisation doesn't have a problem with its IT infrastructure, but its HR department.
I second what Charlie Clark has already said... the name Bloor Research should come with a set of quotes or a question mark. They publish half-thought-out, squealing-fanboi hyperbole and generalisations. Frankly, they come across as never having sat at a workstation running any security application more elaborate than home-user AV.
The Standards Are Here
... so use them. X.509 certificates, TLS (extensions defined/used for all protocols: HTTP/SMTP/POP/IMAP), S/MIME or PGP (your choice; OE has always supported S/MIME). Simple configuration changes, group policies, etc etc. should make it possible to ensure all communications are required to be not only encrypted by sent/received by trusted hosts. Then there's PGP, of course - PGP can take lots of money from you in exchange for their serverside integrated stuff for sending between hosts, assuming intercorporate X509 relationships don't exist for use of SMTP TLS extension over the net between intercorporate hosts. Whatever, it's all there. Just think carefully and put someone who understands in charge. Oh, and do try not to leave anything too sensitive on a Windows box if you expect it to be raided and taken to bits, as the game is over for you then.

|Speed Of Shipment
|Overall Rating
Fifty-One's The Trio can been seen in almost every gas station in my area now. The real shame in it, few carry The Duo as well. The Trio e cigarette was sent to us for review and we will go over the contents, the use, and general opinions in this review. The kit comes with:
- 2 x TRIO™ Rechargeable Lithium Ion 'Cigarette' Battery
- 1 x Reusable Atomizer · 5+1 (6) x Cartridge/Filters (Original / 11mg)
- 1 x Standard Wall Outlet Charger with Power Cable
- 1 x Club 51 Membership Card
- 1 x TRIO™ Electronic Cigarette Instructional User Manual
The Trio electronic cigarette has several things going well for it. The first being the presentation upon receipt. This kit looks professional and great. The next is the company backing it. Fifty-One is a large company that is not going anywhere without a fight. They offer great customer service, fast shipping, and a lifetime replacement warranty.
When I first used the e cigarette, I did not get much vapor as you can see in the video review. The atomizer needs to be primed before it will produce better vapor. So do not be turned off by the first couple puffs. It does get better and produces an amount of vapor that is the equivalent to the smoke you would get from your cigarettes. It produces more vapor than products from Blu and Luci, but is still no where close to the Duo by Fifty-One. The vapor amount would be adequate for the average consumer, but I am on the side that enjoys more vapor.
The throat hit was minimal with this electronic cigarette, which is not a bad thing for everyone. Most social smokers or light smokers do not like an electronic cigarette that provides a harsh feeling. Being a heavy smoker, I actually enjoy the stronger throat hit.
The taste was good, close to a tobacco, but not quite the same as your regular cigarettes. However, we do advise that no e cigarette will ever taste exactly like a cigarette because the science behind them is different and there is no burning occurring that produces the general taste of a cigarette. Keep in mind that with the Fifty-One products that doctors have supported them and stated that there are no carcinogens in their liquid. So if you are looking for a smoking alternative without 4000+ chemicals, the Fifty-One ensure you are not ingesting that many chemicals to get your nicotine fix.
You can buy liquid from anyone and easily refill these cartridges, but if you want pre-filled cartridges, Fifty-One does offer those. The flavors they offer are:
- Tobacco
- Menthol
You may wonder why they only offer those two flavors and the answer is to keep kids from using electronic cigarettes. It is believed by anti-smoking groups and the FDA that only kids like flavors and that will encourage them to take up the use of e cigarettes. Now I know that sounds ridiculous, but that is their belief and we respect Fifty-One for leading the way in ensuring no one under 18 gets their electronic cigarettes. Overall, I would recommend this electronic cigarette to social to light smokers. While you can get better deals online, in a pinch you can run to the local gas station or mall and pick up some refill cartridges. If you smoke more than 3/4 of a pack a day, then we recommend you get The Duo by Fifty-One.

Fifty-One (Smoke 51): The TrioFebruary 1, 2011 at 3:52 pm #
Am dissappointed in the cigarette. Heavy, dosent produce vaports…this is important to simulate a real cigarette. At least with exhaled vapors, it would seem real to the mind, but when you exhale nothing and all you see is the light on the tip of the cigarette light up, you feel like your just inhaling air out of a tube.

Fifty-One (Smoke 51): The TrioMay 3, 2011 at 12:02 am #
I have found that you have to inhale slowly (slowly pull vapor into mouth then inhale) and with soft lips. It is not the same type of inhale as with a regular cigarette. That helped me get a better throat hit, and produce a lot more vapor.1 / 1 found this review helpful.

After using the product for 2 1/2 weeks i tend to disagree with the 1 and only comment posted here,The vapor is more like a regular cigarette and the taste is better than the real cigs i used to buy, as far as the fact someone said it was heavy they did not problably give themselves time to get used to it, granted it is heavi er than a regular cigarette but seein g it is electronic it does hav a bit of weight to it but if anyone has smoked pipe before it is about the same.1 / 1 found this review helpful.

i just got this item today and i absolutely love it! i have been struggling with quitting smoking and i am proud to say that i havnt smoked a single cigarette since i started with this! i actually like it much more than a normal one because there is no nasty feeling or taste at the end. It worked great, you have to "prime " it up a little bit in the beginning like lighting a reg cig but once you get it going its great!2 / 2 found this review helpful.

I LOVE these. I have been using the 51 Trio for over 6 weeks, and I have not smoked a real cigarette for 5.5 weeks. I find that 1 cartomizer lasts me about 24 hours. The filters slightly less than that. I love the taste of the tobacco flavor. I have tried several different strengths of the nicotine. I LOVE how much vapor you get. It actually gives you a satisfactory hit to the chest as well, unlike some others I have tried that just stung your throat a bit (if anything) and still left you craving. The batteries last 6 hours or so? I made sure to buy several so I always have 1 charging. I have HIGHLY recommended these to everyone I talk to. I love that the atomizer does not get super hot and that there is no burnt taste. It is heavier than a regular cig, but they all are since they are not made out of paper and crushed leaves. Not really a big deal.1 / 1 found this review helpful.

Bought my trio about a week ago and havn't had a real cig in 4 days. spent the first 3 using up the last of my carton. so far im impressed. i bought mine at the mall and the salesman got it all set up for me including preping the atomizer, which is what i think alot of people forget to do. they dont read the instructions. iv had some problems with the amount of vapor i get but found its because i had just screwed the filter on too tight. in all a great buy i might have spent a bit more on it than i should have but when it comes down to it you cant put a price on good health.1 / 1 found this review helpful.

Bought my fifty-one trio on a whim because the store I work in got a shipment. I do not regret it! My model only came with one battery though. I'm fixing to invest in some spare parts. Anyone not wanting their trio anymore I will be more than willing to take it off your hands! And I LOVE that the filters can hold e-juice so well! I have no complaints and those who do need to remember the reason you bought your e-cigarette. Me? My children. Thanks Fifty- one for making putting cigarettes down simpler. God bless.

In 1889, Pierre Levene opened a shop in nearby Fulham Road, selling watches, jewellery, silverware and general objets d'art.
The shop was destroyed by enemy action in the early days of the Second World War. Meanwhile their son, Maurice Pierre Levene, who was born in 1900, had opened his own shop, M.P. Levene Ltd, at 5 Thurloe Place in 1926. He specialised in silverware and rare postage stamps.
Maurice's son, Colin, joined the business in 1953 and is now Managing Director. In 1973 he acquired the next-door premises, 4 Thurloe Place, and amalgamated the two areas into the shop we have today.
In 1997, his son Martin joined, becoming the fourth generation Levene in the family firm.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Once, I asked r? before a boss, and I got a couple of rs back including the healer. After we wiped (either I or the healer dcd, first boss in ZG hates my connection sometimes), one of the dps completely ripped my head off because I pulled when he hadn't said r. Do you know how long it takes to get everyone in the group to say r? He never said anything else either like 'not ready' or 'no' or anything. So before I pulled the boss, I waited until ALL the party had responded. It took something like 5-10 minutes I am not exaggerating, and it wasn't all him delaying to be a smartass. That guy man. That guy.
Don't worry about "That guy", he's a dumbass and everyone knows it and doesn't expect much from him any way.
When the tank does a "r?" I usually don't respond...unless there's a problem then I'll say "NO". But most of the time I don't say anything. Sometimes I'll stand around by the tank jumping up and down to indicate my readiness, but I leave chat alone for the healer to reply. I figure that as long as the tank and the healer are both ready, the dps will follow along. Hell, I could be out of mana with every cooldown blown (mage), and I could still participate with my wand (not for the whole thing, just until my mana has regened and some cooldowns have come back online). Won't be stellar dps, but it will be better than doing nothing and screaming about it.

Correlation Structure between Inflation and Oil Futures Returns: An Equilibrium Approach
AbstractWe use a general equilibrium model of a monetary economy to understand the economics behind the correlation between in nation and oil futures returns. Oil is used as both, an input to the production of capital and as a consumption good. We estimate our model using maximum likelihood with the following datasets: crude oil futures prices, nominal interest rates, in nation rates and money supply growth rates. We nd that some of the positive correlation found in empirical studies is due to the fact that oil is in the consumption basket; however, this accounts only for a minor part of it. There exist other important sources of correlation related to monetary shocks and output shocks. In particular, we nd that the correlation is extremely sensitive to the reaction of the central bank to output shocks, while the reaction to in nation changes is less signi cant. Our estimates suggest that the monetary authority overreacts to output shocks by increasing the money supply in a more than necessary amount, generating a signi cant source of positive correlation. From a practical perspective, We nd that it is a good strategy to use as a hedge, the futures whose maturity is closer to the hedging horizon. This is particularly true for short-term hedging.

And Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Judith MacKenzie, Franklin Habit and Jacey Boggs are just a few of your faves that will be returning! What could be better than another Teacher Talent Night and much more that Stephanie has in store for us or imagining and exploring "Illusions" with Franklin and the pleasures of spinning with Judith and Jacey.
Susanna Hansson first introduced us to the Bohus tradition and she is returning with a very special Bohus class which includes a 15th year anniversary treat direct from her native Sweden. There are more favorites joining us: Anne Berk teaching Intarsia, Linda Gettmann brings us some more fancy weaves on the rigid heddle loom, Bill Jones shows us his tricks for stabilizing knitted fabric that he keeps cutting up, Jean Wong will help you delve into the world of Japanese knitting pattern drafting and finishing techniques. Susan Newhall takes on demystifying color theory and if you want to learn support spindling on a variety of spindles, Lisa Chan will not only teach you but she will make a custom spindle for you if you ask her.
Wait there is more! You'll find a brand new class from Carson Demers to teach you how to keep your body in tune while knitting, Catherine Lowe repeats her very popular "The"WOW Factor", there are more spinning tricks with Sarah Anderson and Amelia Garripoli, as well as clever new projects from the design artistry of Sivia Harding.
Evelyn Clark will be teaching Icelandic Lace and you will strand many colors with Mary Scott Huff.

Comment: And that is why the Spock/Logic way is incomplete (Score 1) 937
I wish I had understood this better as a teenager. Bertrand Russel said that every philosopher makes at least one assumption, usually not acknowledged, and builds from there. As Albert Einstein said:
"It is true that convictions can best be supported with experience and clear thinking. On this point one must agree unreservedly with the extreme rationalist. The weak point of his conception is, however, this, that those convictions which are necessary and determinant for our conduct and judgments cannot be found solely along this solid scientific way.
For the scientific method can teach us nothing else beyond how facts are related to, and conditioned by, each other. The aspiration toward such objective knowledge belongs to the highest of which man is capabIe, and you will certainly not suspect me of wishing to belittle the achievements and the heroic efforts of man in this sphere. Yet it is equally clear that knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be. One can have the clearest and most complete knowledge of what is, and yet not be able to deduct from that what should be the goal of our human aspirations. Objective knowledge provides us with powerful instruments for the achievements of certain ends, but the ultimate goal itself and the longing to reach it must come from another source. And it is hardly necessary to argue for the view that our existence and our activity acquire meaning only by the setting up of such a goal and of corresponding values. The knowledge of truth as such is wonderful, but it is so little capable of acting as a guide that it cannot prove even the justification and the value of the aspiration toward that very knowledge of truth. Here we face, therefore, the limits of the purely rational conception of our existence.
But it must not be assumed that intelligent thinking can play no part in the formation of the goal and of ethical judgments. When someone realizes that for the achievement of an end certain means would be useful, the means itself becomes thereby an end. Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelation of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends. To make clear these fundamental ends and valuations, and to set them fast in the emotional life of the individual, seems to me precisely the most important function which religion has to perform in the social life of man. And if one asks whence derives the authority of such fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justified merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgments of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence. They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities. One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.
As I see currently it, sets of assumptions ("meme complexes"?) are almost like living beings...
