He's back! Well…sort of. David Hasselhoff has surfaced in one of the most hilarious convenience store ads ever. It's not about cheeseburgers…but it'll do.
The former Baywatch star filmed a music video to sell a convenience store's iced coffee. Titled, "Thirsty for Love," the Hoff expresses just how thirsty he is for Cumberland Farms' coffee. You would think the former star of Knight Rider would feel work like this beneath him, but I guess not.
Check out David Hasselhoff in his hilarious convenience store ad after the jump and let us know if it makes you want some iced coffee too! (It is catchy, don't lie!)

live/recorded tv won't play
i posted this in a couple other HTPC forums with no luck, so i thought it'd throw it out to the WMC experts here
i was updating to the latest MPC-HC player from here: Media Player Classic HomeCinema (x86/x64), 1.4.2616 - XvidVideo.RU and i noticed it had a big message: In order for the program to work correctly, you need to install DIRECTX End-User Runtime to the version 9.29.1962 ( 2010.06.07 ) . so i went to microsoft.com and downloaded and installed the directx_Jun2010_redist.exe, figuring it wouldnt hurt to upgrade to the latest directx.
it seemed to be a success as all my files (.mkv, .avi, .dvr-ms, .wtv) were playing just fine in MPC-HC, but when i went to watch a recorded show in 7MC, i received the video decoder error screen. this was a .dvr-ms file that wouldnt play in 7MC, which i thought was odd since it is a MS format. when i play the .dvr-ms file directly it plays fine in both MPC-HC and WMP. further testing showed that all of my .dvr-ms and .wtv files play fine in both MPC-HC and WMP, but get the video decoder error when played from inside 7MC.
at first i thought it might have been an issue with the new version of MB, but then i live TV also gets the same error.
i can successfully record a show directly from the guide, and the show displays in the recorded tv section of 7MC with a thumbnail and correct metadata, but it wont play in 7MC. but, if i play that recorded .wtv file in WMP or MPC-HC, it plays just fine.
any ideas on this? is there a different directx that needs to be installed?
i have no extra codecs or codec packs installed apart from what is installed automatically with MPC-HC
thanks for the help!

Just for kicks, I went and installed everything you did, on my x64 7 rig and then tested my MC tuner playback and everything is still working fine.
Only thing I have done differently then you is I use Sharks Codec Pack. So maybe that's something you can look into...
Hope this is helpful some how...

well, i found a restore point back before i had upgraded directx and MPC-HC.
restored back to that and attempted another upgrade with testing and restore points set between every step.
this time everything seemed to work fine, so it must have been just a botched installation of one thing or the other.
all hail the restore point

Students at the Network for Environment and Economic Development (NEED) Farm
Since 1962, Burma has been ruled by a military regime that has oppressed many ethnic groups and civil liberties. Reports of rape, torture and destruction of land abound, and minority ethnic groups have been subject to attacks and denied independence.
In January, 14 students and two faculty members traveled to Thailand to study human rights violations in Burma. The field-study, led by Assistant Professor of Political Science Dan Chong, visited the towns of Chiang Mai and Mae Sot and allowed students to gain first-hand experiences of the current situation, the culture and what different organizations are doing to help.

Students visit a Buddhist sanctuary.
The trip began in Chiang Mai with visits to Buddhist temples and the opportunity to attend a monk-chat, which helped enhance understanding across religious differences. Many students had little prior exposure to Buddhism, and gained insight from the intimate discussions.
Then, the real work began. Students found themselves carrying banana trees, digging trenches, weeding, chopping hay, planting chilies, mixing compost and—for some of them—breaking shovels. They performed this work with the Network for Environment and Economic Development (NEED) Farm, an organization that recruits Burmese citizens and teaches them organic farming techniques to use upon their return to Burma. For two days, the students attempted to learn farming techniques while talking with Burmese citizens alongside them. During these discussions, one man revealed that he had been a monk and was forced into the army for two years until he escaped to Thailand.
Students used their hands for more than just tilling the earth. They gained a fuller appreciation for homegrown and organic food, as they devoured delicious meals that had been produced at the NEED Farm, wholeheartedly practicing the Burmese custom of eating with their hands.
In addition to working with the NEED Farm, the group met with other organizations working to improve the Burmese's plight. One included Free Burma Rangers, a group that delivers relief and medical supplies into Burma, often risking their lives. (The most recent Rambo film is based on their mission!) Another was Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), an un-biased media organization. They discussed their work and current issues within Burma, whose government censors television programs and newspapers. DVB explained how most footage from within Burma seen on international news comes from their organization, which sends their footage via satellite from Thailand to televisions within Burma. They represent the only source of non-state-controlled media.
It wasn't all work and no play. While in Chiang Mai, students enjoyed evenings spent at the Night Bazaar, filled with thousands of vendors selling scarves, hats, delicious food and much more. And a day of elephant riding, hiking, and bamboo rafting allowed everyone to see the countryside.

Emily Sessoms (Class of 2012) stands in front of the trash-dump site that has become home to many Burmese refugees.
Next, students ventured to the border town of Mae Sot, where over a 100,000 Burmese refugees have fled over the years and made a home. Here, students volunteered at a primary school and witnessed extreme living conditions.
Ashin Sopaka, a Burmese monk who has dedicated himself to helping refugees, introduced the students to one of his many projects: primary schools for refugees. As Burmese children are not allowed to attend Thai public schools, their education could easily be overlooked. At one of these schools, students volunteered to teach English (the "Hokey-Pokey" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" were big hits) and play with the students, who were loving and unable to stop giggling although verbal communication was nearly impossible. Amy Uhl (Class of 2012) expressed her desire to return to the school and volunteer teaching English. "Those kids are the hope of all of Burma, and they now have my heart," she said.
One of the most eye-opening experiences of the trip was visiting the "homes" of Burmese citizens who have not attained refugee status and instead live as illegal immigrants. Their hand-made huts, lacking facilities for showers or toilets, were scattered across mountains of trash, and children ran around unsupervised. Their parents sorted through the trash to find recycled materials to sell in the city, earning enough for just a few dollars a day. Some children had to stay on the dump working instead of going to school, and others were separated from their families who remained in Burma.
The situation was overwhelming and devastating. Emily Sessoms (Class of 2012) couldn't believe the living conditions. "You see a city around these people, that's developed and has houses and running water," she said. "But these people are not allowed to have their basic rights met, as if the society has said, 'We know you're there and we don't care.'" Marissa Mikolenko (Class of 2011HH) shuddered at the sight. "The fact that these people would rather live in these conditions than in their home country speaks volumes," Mikolenko said.
Returning to Rollins for the first day of class after a red-eye flight proved to be a tough transition, but not from a lack of sleep. Many students felt the trip had a huge impact on them, some feeling a personal calling to the plight of Burmese refugees. Says Uhl, "This trip honestly changed my life for the better and for forever."

Recent film location shots from Ghost World, with the characters re-inserted.
The End.
(Sixth Street Viaduct, Los Angeles, California: April 2013)
Where Enid Goes:
What are you going to do now?
I'm not sure.
(Newhall Community Hospital, 22607 6th Street, Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, California: March 2013)
Enid walks out of the doorway of the "Outpatient Clinic" where she's just visited Seymour, and makes her way over to Rebecca, who sits waiting on a bench. As the shot follows her, the numbers "22607" are clearly visible on one of the awnings over her head. From there it's a process of searches and elimination. The clinic is actually the Newhall Community Hospital in Santa Clarita. Although the bench has been uprooted, the rivets are still visible in the sidewalk. The hedge that stood behind the girls is less well manicured. The awnings have faded, and the minimal set dressings used are absent. But this is where Rebecca said goodbye to Enid.
I round the corner, coming at 6th from the north on Main. I know it's the corner because there's an extra awning on the east-facing side of the building. That's the uncanny kind of observation you make as you approach a film location. It looks familiar, yet otherwise – it's the inexplicable presence of all of the stuff outside the shot that throws you. Once you hit the northwest corner of Main and 6th, you're officially on the block. But you're seeing things from a perspective the movie would never afford you. You can see the building directly across the street: a dentist's office, with someone's big green truck and trailer parked in front of it. That's where you usually sit, watching the sidewalk. That's where your couch or chair or seat in a theatre is meant to be.
Figuring out where the camera was placed is trickier than it sounds. Even though you have the direct reference of the shot, filmmakers have cranes, trucks, risers that help them get the camera in a specific position that the arms and legs can't always facilitate. That's why you can spend an hour trying to get shots to line up exactly, to determine where the filmmaker stood or sat to frame things just so. You can pull your hair out over stuff like that. Plus it's a bear to dodge traffic, especially if you're at a popular location. A ton of tourists swarm the crosswalk by Abbey Road Studios in London every day, and risk their lives to get shots of themselves crossing those thick white lines just like the Beatles. London drivers know this, and some choose to use the road anyhow. You have to watch out for those kinds of drivers.
No one knows about the significance of the Main and 6th intersection. It's not a main throughway. Traffic is light. The occasional car drives past, but hardly pays me any notice, as I'm quick to get out of the way. You have to be considerate in public places, especially in residential neighbourhoods. People live in these places, and they justifiably don't want to be intruded upon.
One of the beauties of "Ghost World" being a relatively unknown film is that hardly anyone searches out its locations. There isn't a soul at the corner of Main and 6th when I arrive. It makes the moment more special. No big groups of people crowding to get the perfect vacation photo; no incessant clicking of cameras all trying to capture shots that a Google search would return in a matter of seconds. It's just me and the location.
It may be pure luck that "Ghost World" is my favourite film and not "Spider-man" or "King Kong." It was a movie that came along while I was still impressionable in certain ways. Although at the time of the film's release I was already three years out of high school, I was close enough to Enid's age to recognize her particular brand of alienation. The deadpan, almost nihilistic humour of its characters was particularly appealing. But I don't think I would have enjoyed the film as much if it hadn't been so utterly poignant and ultimately sympathetic in its portrayal of a young adult. Someone knew what I was all about. It was there on the screen.
You hear people, and especially young people, talk about movies this way all the time. "It's like they made the movie about me." "I identify with that character so much." These are the words we use to describe our powerlessness as viewers. We're all out there scrambling for identification. I don't think this really changes based on age, but it certainly hits you harder when you're in your early 20s. That "Ghost World" was an "independent" film based on an "underground" comic book only enhanced its appeal for me. Nobody knew about it, so I was free to fall in love with it all by myself, and most importantly free to show it to other people.
A couple of things happen when you show a movie you love to a person who's never seen it. First, you get to watch it for the first time all over again. Movies come equipped with a kind of tragedy. They can only completely surprise you once. While you can watch some movies over and again and discover new things constantly, that first time is gone, never to return. You'll always know where the plot is going; you'll never again hang on the precipice of finding out whether the ending will fall flat, or revel in that discovery of perfect words spoken in a terrible situation. Showing a movie to someone who's never seen it is the closest you get. It's like watching the film via a reflection in a mirror. Everything's in place, but you're approaching it through another medium, another set of signals buzzing from the eyeballs into the brain, where all of those discoveries you once made are being made anew.
Second, little by little, the movie becomes yours. You found it. You claim it. You recruit others to follow it. The same goes with bands. You put their songs on a tape, CD, playlist. "You have to check this out." Why? Obviously it's because you think the song is objectively great. But you're also validating your own taste when somebody identifies with a song or film in the same way you do. We like to validate our own taste because our tastes define our chunk of the world. And we want a chunk of the world because movies and songs teach us to want one.
As I mentioned, the bench is gone, but the rivets are in place. I approach it first. Enid sat here, on the right, stage left. I stand on the spot and something happens. Something I'm not prepared for, even though I've visited a ton of movie locations and had a thousand fantasies about characters shuffling through parks and beaches and stores and castles I've stood in (or on). It's a feeling of something holy. No other word quite fits. I know it's exactly where I want to be, and it occurs to me that I'm on a very real pilgrimage. I'd never considered film locations as holy destinations, only spots to visit where stories were once told. This is something different.
But the stories aspect is so important. Stories are incredibly important to us. We want them in our lives. We desire their telling. We want to live them, too, and that's a reason why we travel. Travel forces us into a story. It kick starts a string of new life developments. Travel twists our plots. We know we're not going to get up tomorrow in the same bed and go to the same job and see the same people and eat the same meals. We can't do these things while we travel. They're taken out of our hands. Even if we fly to a distant city and stay in a motel room for the entire week, we're in that motel room. That's part of our story.
Main and 6th is now a part of my story. "Ghost World" is a film I've seen many times. It's a film that grows with me. It puts me in a frame of mind, the way an old photo album or chord change or whiff of perfume might. I invariably have the same feeling after it's over, even all these years later: I don't want this to end. Visiting its locations seemed a way to prolong it. I'll continue to watch the movie, armed with the knowledge of what's across the street from that bench. That makes me incredibly happy. But for the sake of anyone I watch it with, I'll also do my best to save my observations about the look of Main and 6th at midday until after Enid and Rebecca's story comes to a close.
You know what my number one fantasy used to be? I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone, and going off to some random place. And I'd just disappear, and they'd never see me again.

A new fiber optic laser system can reduce wear and can i order viagra from the chemist increase output from wind turbines by sensing wind gusts from 1,000 meters away. Catch The Wind, a Virginia start-up, developed the device that allows turbines to adapt to the strength and direction of gusts before they hit.
Wind turbines lose one percent of their efficiency for every degree that a blade is out of alignment. Having a sensor to detect wind direction and speed could help protect the blades and boost efficiency, which also reduces cost. The company claims that the how to get cialis no prescrip tion laser system increases efficiency by 10 percent and also reduces maintenance costs by 10 percent.
The laser, set for production in 2010, works by pulsing three invisible beams in front of the turbine that measure horizontal and vertical speeds and changes in direction. The turbine gets 20 seconds notice of the information gathered by the lasers, enough time to adapt to catch more wind and cheap viagra reduce mechanical strain.
The major drawback of wind power is its inconsistency. If this device is cialis fast shipping able to maximize the energy harnessed when wind is present, this could have great benefits, especially if advances are made in energy storage.

Many of us looking for a work from home lifestyle choose to write website content on the net for cash. It's actually a fantastic approach to make a living from the internet for people looking for adaptability and freedom within their working lifestyle. But should you opt to be a freelance writer, therefore finding work yourself, or alternatively write for a online business that delivers content creation services?
An effective way to earn money writing on the internet is to register through an article producing service provider. Businesses that offer these services provide a constant flow of writing options through buyers that want to get articles written by an article writing service. Right here is the one significant benefit of writing with one of these types of providers – constant work. The flip side is you earn a smaller amount for each piece of writing than you would normally charge being a freelancer given that the website requires a slice. Most internet writers understand this, of course, and are generally just grateful they do not need to locate clients on their own.
In the end, it could work out that after wasting a few hours seeking clients as a freelancer to earn a higher price, you would have in reality received far more had you devoted more effort actually writing with a lower rate. These are generally all things the aspiring work from home freelance writer must take into account. Another thing to think about is the fact that working with picky and also untrustworthy customers on your own could be a big headache. As part of a writing group while doing work for a website that delivers article writing services you would not have to privately deal with clients . . . you can just sign in, get paid to write articles, then sign out once you feel you've worked sufficiently.
There can be positives and negatives to both working as a freelance writer or as part of an article writing company. If you desire to earn money writing online, you'll need to think about your options closely in order to optimize your money-making potential as well as gain job fulfillment.

Your next co-worker: A tablet
Analysts say tens of millions of tablet computers will appear at companies within 5 years.
The list of companies that now use the iPad in their offices is growing, including General Electric (GE), Wells Fargo (WFM) and Medtronic (MDT), The New York Times reports. Apple says at least 80% of Fortune 100 companies are using or testing the iPad.
But this is just the beginning for tablet computers in the workplace. As companies such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Research in Motion (RIMM) debut their own tablets this year, the devices will spring up across the office.
One analyst told the Times he expects tens of millions of tablets in American offices by 2015. "It will be the fastest uptake of any device in the enterprise ever," he added. "Faster than PCs, faster than laptops and faster than smart phones."
Post continues after video:
Why do businesses love the tablet? Here are four reasons:
They're cheap. Cheaper than a traditional computer. The iPad starts at $500.
They can be customized. Companies can easily develop specialized apps for their employees. Tellabs (TLAB), a telecom equipment company, built a warehouse shipping app for employees to use on the iPad, TMCnet reports.
They're fast. That custom shipping app, by the way, is 63% faster than a traditional laptop, Tellabs says.
They're easy to use. With no keyboard, a touch screen and the ability to narrow down the apps used, companies can make tablets as easy, or as complicated, as they'd like. The tablets are also very durable.
There's one more reason tablets will pop up at the workplace, the Times reports. Employees will buy their own, then bring them in and ask for access to corporate networks.
"We can't tell people not to use this technology at work," an executive at NBC Universal told the Times. "If we did, they would continue to use it, and we would be in the dark about what they do."

Megan Salinas
» Naughty Sexter
Megan likes to take naughty pics when no one's watching...
"This guy sent me a text by mistake. He thought I was his girlfriend. I told him I wasn't, but that if he was cute, maybe I'd like to be. It got his attention. We kept flirting and he asked me for some pics. I sent him one of my boobs and now, he keeps asking for more!"
Do you like thinking of strange men seeing you naked?
"Yes! I don't know why, but when I know someone's seeing my pussy or my tits, I soak right through my panties. I've been sexting this guy now for a few days. We even talked on the phone once while his girlfriend was sleeping. He needed help getting off and wanted me to say dirty things to him. That turned me on, so I told him how badly I want him to fuck my slit."
Did he get you to cum, too, Megan?
"You bet! After he was done, he was still pretty turned on. He said it was my turn and then he told me how to finger my clit. He told me when to push a finger in to my cunny, and then another one. Pretty soon he could hear the noises coming from my gushy pussy hole. It was good that no one was home or they would've heard me moaning through the walls for sure! It was a lot of fun."

Client: "The designer will make no decisions regarding this site's design! Where was the designer while I raising money for this venture?!"
Me: "Art school?"
Boss charges into my office furiously, two days after the company site goes live.
Boss: "Carl just showed me that people can right-click our site and view all our code."
Me: "Well, yes, that's how web browsers work."
Boss: "Take the whole thing down, now! I'll be damned if I'm going to give our competitors all our god-damn code!"
Client: "I want a way to track all the people that come to my site. Names, addresses, telephone numbers and cell phone."
Us: "Well, there are some tools to capture visitor information but not to that level unless the viewer supplies that to you. They would have to register at the site and that kills page views."
Client: "I don't know why this is so fucking hard! You are the 5th firm to tell us that! Its fucking 2009, can't anyone make the internet work right?"
Client: "I have patented an exciting new marketing technique, the [Coupon Puzzle]. Consumers will receive envelopes with puzzle pieces that they will have to assemble to find out what the coupon is. Have you ever designed a puzzle before?"
Me: "I can't say that I have, but it shouldn't be a problem. Can you give me specifics on the file set-up from your printing company?"
Client: "Actually, I'd like for you to design the [coupon puzzle] first, then you can market your design to businesses in your area. I was thinking [coupon puzzles] would work great on pizza boxes, in local newspaper racks, gas stations etc. Once you make some sales, we can determine the quantity to print. These [coupon puzzles] are really going to be the next big thing in the coupon industry, even the executives at Valpak thought it was a great idea. And you are going to have a monopoly in your area. You will keep 5% of all sales you make."
Me: "So.. you want me to design the piece, sell the product, and handle the printing? And my pay would be based on sales?"
Client: "Yes."
Me: "Could you please provide us with details of what elements you would like to be included on the homepage so our designers know what they need to include."
Client: "Sure, the site needs to be Professional, Clean/Crisp, Global, Proactive, Eco-Friendly and Dynamic. Hope that helps!"
Client: "How about we pay you in free alcohol?"
Me: "Only if I can make your poster out of macaroni noodles."
Client: "We want out home page to be very minimalistic. We like lots of white space, and only the most important elements. It should look like Google - basically, a logo and one or two other important things."
Me: "Great! In that case, what would you consider to be the one or two most important things?"
Client: "Rotating article carousel, dropdown menus, power search, forum list, latest forum posts, member sign-up, news ticker, event countdown, testimonials, featured VIP member, RSS news feed, and four blocks of advertising."
We are currently looking to add some great stories to our upcoming book! If you would like to potentially get a story published, please send in you terrifying/hilarious stories about clients:
Client: "Whats your fees to do this template?"
Me: "$40 per hour."
Client: "Thats steep. How do I know you won't bill me for extra hours."
Me: "If you want to be sure you can come and watch."
Client: "No wiseguy, give me a call whenever you start working on it and whenever you take breaks. I will keep count of the hours."
Client: "We'd like you to make the About Us and Why Buy From Us pages password protected and only viewable by people who have signed up."
Me: "But how will people know if they want to sign up if they don't know anything about you or your service?"
Client: "Look, we don't want any tire kickers."
Me: "Good afternoon, we've noticed that you haven't paid the entire amount due on your bill."
Client: "We haven't received an invoice."
Me: "Then how did a check show up with the invoice number on it in the memo field? We appreciate the timely payment, but it's about 75 dollars short of the payment due."
Client: "You know this is a church group right? We don't have to pay taxes, and you realize you go to hell for lying, right?"
Me: "Well if you check the invoice, there is no sales tax applied, but you realize you go to hell for theft too, correct?"
Designed a simple web banner for their etsy shop and a few days later…
Client: "The banner looks terrible its all fuzzy and you cant read it."
Me: "Thats odd because Im looking at your etsy shop now and it looks great."
Client: "No not that one, I also had it printed into a 1.5 meter long banner to hang over my stall at the market. Looks horrible!"
Client: I know you creative guys sometimes need "inspiration." I really want my project to go well so I will get you the kind of inspiration you need, OK? Free of charge.
[It was revealed later in the meeting that he was suggesting that he would supply our designers with marijuana.]
Client: "How come all the photos I took have the heads cut off?"
Me: "Hmm, Did you look though the view finder when you took them?"
Client: "I don't know what that is. Can't you just move the picture up so I can see their heads? I mean they're digital pictures?"
[From an unsolicited e-mail looking for a free illustrator]
"Take this letter very seriously. Imagine that George Lucas or Todd McFarlain just emailed you and you now have the chance to collaborate with one of the most gifted artists of all time. Seriously . Think about that. You could be responsible for helping to create the next great american novel."
The enclosed script synopsis was about a proud young Aryan boy in search of a mummy in order to use its ancient magic to restore the "nazies" to their former glory.
Setting up the final, complex shot of a broadcast music video where the camera moves almost 50 feet side to side on a crane.
Me: "Alright, let's move the crane in, calibrate the remote head and focus unit, and get the rest of the lighting set up for this last shot."
Producers: "We figured you wouldn't need the crane, but we have a ladder."
Client: I showed this logo to my daughter and she didn't like it.
Me: How old is your daughter?
Client: Five.
Me: But your target audience is recovering drug addicts.
Client: Right.
Client: "That's way too much money to charge for an email campaign. It's not hard to put a few graphics in an email."
Me: "I charge based off of my regular hourly rate and that's how long it will take to complete the project."
Client: "Forget it. We'll just do it in house. We have a copy of Dreamweaver."
[Phone call 2 weeks later]
Client: "Can you talk for a second?"
Me: "Sure."
Client: "OK. We made that email campaign, but I can't figure out why all of the links take me to the unsubscribe page."
Me: "I'm not sure. Is this a test email you're talking about? I can finish the project for you based on my hourly rate."
Client: "Well…no. We already sent it."
The client sent an email campaign to a list of 74,000 customers with every link in the email being a one-click unsubscribe.
I'm sure none of you are strangers to being asked to do favours for friends and family. I'm here to tell you that while there's nothing wrong with doing a favour for someone you love now and then, always draw up a contract and terms of service, no matter how small or minimal the project. I don't care if you're doing it for free - make them sign a contract. In this case, I assume complete responsibility for the following situation because I mistakenly worked from trust. I should also warn you that this reads more like a bad romance than anything else, but hey, I wouldn't wish the following on anyone.
Background: I'm a 22-year-old university student with aspirations of practicing rural medicine. I'm also a freelance web/print designer. It's my sole source of income, and it's what I do to put myself through school. I don't have much of a social life because I balance a full-time university schedule with twenty to thirty hours a week of volunteer and paid design work. I wouldn't change a thing here. I'm happiest a-codin' and designin', and I count myself as pretty lucky to be able to make a living from my hobby while I'm working towards my doc dreams.
I've always been a nerdy and creative kid, so I got into computers and art at a fairly young age. I knew I liked designing and I spent a lot of time playing with Python to pick up on basic programming in middle school. In high school, I designed posters and crappy Geocities websites for nearly every extra-curricular club around. So when I was fifteen, I was really excited when my dad asked me if I'd be interested in doing some design work for a good business acquaintance of his, whom I'll refer to from now on as CFH (for Client From Hell - what else?). The job involved developing some simple layouts and promotional materials for an industry-specific print career guide. Armed with Publisher and Photoshop, I got to work.
The pay seemed pretty damn great for someone my age, and the idea of getting paid to do something I loved from home seemed pretty attractive compared to the notion of finding a summer retail job, an experience that had bored me out of my mind the previous year.
I did the job, CFH was happy with my work, and I continued working on small projects for him every now and then, past graduating high school and entering university.
In early 2009, I received a scholarship to study abroad for a semester. When CFH heard, he gave me his heartfelt congratulations, attended a goodbye party my parents had for me, and even gave me a generous monetary gift for my travel expenses. He'd become a very supportive family friend at this time, and was often the only non-South Asian face at family gatherings. I was really grateful for his support and thought the world of him. When I returned six months later, CFH let me know that the website I had designed for him had been voted into the global top ten of its field and that he would be branching out to cover a greater range of clientele. I knew that it was making him boatloads of money and I was happy to have been involved in a project that had achieved such status. He asked me if I'd be interested in taking a lead role in helping out with the company's growth. I agreed enthusiastically, and got to work.
Fast forward to September, when I started as CFH's primary web designer. The work was substantial, and took up much more of my time than previous projects had, but it was completed on time and he was thrilled with it. Prior to starting, I had let CFH know that I'd be changing our previously casual business relationship, and that I'd be invoicing him all Official-Like from now on since I was going to be using my work as my primary source of employment, and needed to keep good records for tax purposes. At this stage, CFH had started outsourcing all his back-end development work to India because it was cheaper than hiring Canadian-based developers, so I think my invoice took him by surprise as he had thought that web work would be 'cheaper' and 'easier to do' than print, for whatever reason. Keep in mind that I was asking for what was essentially cents above minimum wage per hour of work not including the many hours I spent on development, consultation, edits, etc. because I was a little insecure in my legitimacy as a designer due to my lack of formal education in the subject. I now know this to be BS, as my current clients continue to hire me, citing the diversity of skills I offer and the highly creative and efficient nature of my print and web work. Nevertheless, I decided to give CFH a very steep discount because we hadn't pre-negotiated the terms (even though he was aware of how much time each project was taking me). He took his sweet time with my invoice but finally, and begrudgingly, decided to pay up.
Things get a little ridiculous here.
CFH became increasingly imposing. His phone calls to me became increasingly longer and unrelated, bordering on uncomfortable.
He started demanding additional amounts of work to be done 'immediately', and when I'd ask about payment, he'd get irritable and tell me that it was 'all about the money' with me, and that he'd pay me as soon as I sent him an invoice via snail mail. Everytime I would mail out an invoice, he'd complain about some charge, and insist that I send him an updated invoice with this or that detail changed. This continued. I didn't see a cent. I was even paying for stock photos and fonts out of pocket and not being reimbursed like I had earlier been promised. Keep in mind that I was in a particularly delicate position given that this person was my father's good friend, and regretfully, my pride got in the way of actually saying anything to my father at the time. At the time, I didn't think things would (could?) get worse.
They did, so in January, I put my foot down. I told CFH I'd no longer be working for him as he had become unbearably imposing, and had unreasonable expectations of me. Primarily, I was concerned because I hadn't seen a cent from any of this work I'd done since September. He countered this by telling me that I was a rip-off and that he'd found a "professional design agency" that was better equipped to meet his needs. I wished him the best despite the fact that I was disappointed at having let go of my biggest client. I tried not to think about the many hours of work I wouldn't be seeing a cent for anymore. At the same time, I was relieved that I wouldn't have to put up with his borderline psychotic behaviour, or compromise the quality of my work anymore to meet his increasingly ass-backwards demands (white text on beige?).
Two days later, I received a phone call from CFH. He apologized profusely right off the bat, said that he'd pay his complete owing sum, and that he needed me to come back. He told me that he was extremely unhappy with the quality of, and the speed at which his new designers were completing his work. He begged me to come back, saying that this time he'd be more considerate of my time and reasonable in his expectations of me. I hesitated, but agreed to come back on the terms that he had to agree to the estimate I gave him prior to starting each job. Since my prices were 'too steep' for him and he didn't want to contend with the fact that I could only work in the evenings due to my class schedule, we worked out a system where I would design the main graphical elements and primary pages, and his "professional design agency" would use these elements to develop subsidiary pages for the back-end. He agreed, and I got to work. As a sidenote, I should mention that his "professional design agency" pulled out when they realized the extent of work that needed to be done and his unreasonably demanding nature, but I digress.
So I hadn't realized that my new agreement with CFH would otherwise translate into a one-way ticket to hell, with him reigning as chief Satanic commander.
His behaviour become fairly unbelievable at this point: he'd call me at 11:30pm and asking to have something by 7am the next morning. He'd whine when I'd decline. He'd have me sit on the phone for hours while directing me to this stock photo or that website to "get inspired by" (i.e. steal). At the time, I was under a lot of stress because I was experiencing a flare-up in an existing neurological condition that was putting me in the emergency room almost every week. I mentioned at one point to CFR that I was scheduled for an MRI in a couple of months, and he suggested that I pay out-of-pocket to get it done privately to avoid the wait. A private MRI has to be done out-of-province, and runs upwards of $1500. I explained that this was not an option for me given that a recent astronomical increase in tuition costs, and my student aid being cut substantially due to the increasing conservatization of my post-secondary institution.
Unsurprisingly, he didn't 'get' it, telling me to bug my parents for the money or 'something'. For the record, I'm completely financially independent, and have no intentions of harassing my parents for money I'm perfectly capable of making myself. My lifestyle ain't so lavish that it requires a lot of dough either: I'm a herbivore, don't go out much, share an apartment with two other people, and ride a bicycle or take public transit everywhere. I use open-source software and recycle hardware whenever possible. Textbooks (which I generally buy secondhand) and tuition are my major expense, so while my living costs might be minimal, they're still there. I wasn't sure what part of this CFH couldn't comprehend. Surely, he'd understand, having himself been a student forty years ago?
April was the final straw. I hadn't seen a cent since September despite many false exclamations of "the cheque is in the mail!" and what I now knew to be CFH's lavish income from MY work.
He even had the nerve to call me to share his excitement about his new 'keyless' car, which he eagerly explained cost about as much as a house.
A myriad of other reasons followed, and you should tell me if I'm being a bit too sensitive here: Rape jokes? check. Racist remarks about his Indian developers DESPITE the fact that I'm South Asian too - but 'not like one of them', according to him? Check. Pictures of, and forwarded emails from women he was sleeping with? Check. Pervasive questions about my sexuality and personal life? Double-check.
I quit. I fucking quit. I sent a politely-worded e-mail explaining that I would not be working for him anymore. I don't believe in leaving people in the dark about their behaviour, so I explained very clearly exactly how his behaviour had influenced my decision to leave. CFH responded by saying that he hadn't "bothered to read my e-mail" but that "as a professional, [he] anticipated that [I] would provide [my] assistance in bringing the new resources up to speed..". Regarding my invoice, his exact words were: "It shall, of course, be paid, in full, upon receipt" (all those commas, must be, compensating, for, something) seeing as how he was continuing to use my work. I had no problem with this, and made the remaining incomplete files available in their raw form on my server, alongside a detailed explanation of what the new designer/s would need to know. I'm not a vengeful person, so when the new designer got in touch with me, I was quick to direct him to where he needed to be. I just wanted to get paid and get CFH out of my life already.
Things seemed like they were ending on a slightly more positive note. A few days later I got a call from my father. CFH had taken him out for drinks and then gotten him call me to "tell me" to come back to work for him. CFH had explained to him that I was upset about my pay (I didn't realize zero dollars was pay?) but that he had 'forgotten' that I was now a grown-up with financial responsibilities, and not that same fifteen-year-old who was estatic about getting some spending money from his hobby.
He told my dad that I had left him hanging despite having given me a pretty decent deal; apparently my 'mental health issues' and 'greed' were getting in the way.
Clearly, this wasn't just about the money for me anymore, and I realized that CFH's new designer had probably bailed on him as well as a result of his.. loopiness. Naturally, I declined. This upset my father initially, though he changed his mind later when I gave him a (heavily censored) account of what had actually happened.
Besides, hadn't CFH mentioned that he'd be paying me for the work I'd already completed? The invoice was in the mail for the fourth time. Of course, I didn't set my expectations too high because on May 11, I received the following message: "Let me be quite clear about things. Unless you immediately finish the projects you started for [Company Name], we shall not pay your invoice. Enough is enough!"
So now I know better than to expect any pay at all. Over 300 hours logged since September, and not a cent.
CFH continues to use my work and profit from it. I have no legal backing because (1) CFH happens to be a retired lawyer, and (2) I never drew up a physical contract because of the sporadic nature of the work and our long-standing business relationship. My own fault. The best part? I have to defer my next semester at university to work more, because I couldn't come up with my minimum tuition payment in time this year - seeing as how my job didn't pay me, and I had to use my existing funds for things like rent, medication, and food. CFH is well aware of this. Sucks, but I'm not one to dwell in the past recognizing my own mistakes. I'm also far too grateful for things like a roof over my head to feel sorry for myself.
I learnt my lesson and since then, I have had no problem putting what I've learnt into practice with my current clients. Keep in mind that these are primarily charitable organizations and student groups with very limited funding - yet they have no problem respecting my time, signing contracts without complaint, agreeing to my terms and putting down a 50% deposit before I do any work. These clients believe in my right to make a living wage from my work, and that's exactly how all clients should treat their freelancer.
In closing, please don't make the same mistakes I did with CFH. I don't care if you're making invites for your neighbor's son's friend's girlfriend's baby shower: always draw up a physical contract, regardless of whether the work is for-pay or not.
It's a sad fact, but there is no guarantee of sanctity in a long-standing relationship regardless of how long you have had your client. There are people out there whose only motivation is to make as much money as possible while taking credit for your work and screwing you over in the process. A contract gives you some legal backing, and at the very least ensures that both parties understand the terms of service. Deposits are great too, because they ensure that both parties are invested in the project to some extent. Lessons are better learnt earlier rather than later.
And finally, to CFH? I trust Karma.
[Phone conversation with a client concerning a corporate animation.]
Client: "We don't want people to think that everyone using our service is black. Can you make most of the people white?"
Me: "They are stick figures, I don't think there's going to be any racial profiling."
Client: "Well you're using black lines for all of them. We want to see most of them as white."
Me: "Don't you think that would look even more racist? Besides, it's a white background, the white stick figures would disappear."
Client: "Then change it to a black background and make the black people disappear. I don't know, just figure it out."
Me: "Lets talk about color first, do you have any colors in mind?"
Client: "Well I like corvettes and the movie Somethings Got to Give"
Client: "I need you to redesign the shirts you made for me to attract only $100,000 + clients."
Me: "In the original meeting you said these were to be shirts for your employees to wear at work. Are we still talking about the same thing?"
Client: "Yes, well… I only do business with those corporate types."
Me: "What type of shirts do $100,000+ corporate types wear?"
Client: "I don't like your tone."
Client: "So I'm thinking that for the navigation we should have a guy with a dog head, kind of like one of those dog butlers, come dancing out and start tossing letters around. These letters can then form the site navigation buttons!"
Me: "To sell real estate?"
Me: "The database is messed up. What's the server log on?"
Client: "What do you mean?"
Me: "I mean I need access to the server."
Client: "I don't know how to do that."
Me: "Who set it up?"
Client: "I'm not sure."
Me: "Who owns the server?"
Client: "God."
[At our initial meeting with the client]
Client: "When can you have the website live?"
Me: "Well, looking at our calendar and available dates, I think we should have it completed no later than the 8th of June."
Client: "Okay, well that's too late - we definitely need the website live by the end of May."
Me: "Well, today is Friday and the last working day of May…"
Client: "Look, if you can't stick to simple deadlines, then this isn't going to work."
Me: "And what version of Windows are you using?"
He: "Look, pal. I know two things about this fucking computer. I paid a lot of fucking money for it, and it doesn't fucking work."
[When dealing with a rehabilitation charity]
Client: "We love the design. And we know that you said that using a butterfly was a bit obvious but we think what you've done perfectly represents the process that our clients go through."
Me: "Thank you, that's really good. We're pleased you like it."
Client: "..but, some of our clients find the butterfly a bit of a threat. So, we were wondering, could you maybe replace it with a non-threatening seabird?"
Client: "I decided I want one of the illustrations you already did for my logo and I am going to use it for the background on my checks."
Me: "A logo is usually a simple graphic used to represent your business, in your case, the book series and characters. The illustrations are a bit too detailed for that purpose. How about I simplify the characters and series title and create a logo?"
Client: "Why can't you just shrink the picture down to the size of the check?"
Me: "The artwork is 12" square and proportionally will not work in a rectangle."
Client: "Wait, hold on… you know I don't understand you when you use those technical terms."
Me: "By proportionally I mean…"
Client: "No not that word, the other one you said. It won't work in a what?"
Me: "Rectangle?"
Client: "Yes."
Me: "Um, a rectangle is the shape of your checkbook."
Client: "Oh ok."
Hi. I own some websites. I have ads on these websites. I need some quality clickers to click the links on these websites (ads). I am looking for people to click 1 hour, 3 times, for one week. Then I will determine if I want to repeat what I just said.
For doing this gig the compensation will be a coffee or tea or soda at Starbucks or Pete's coffee and $10 dollars. I will be with you because I am looking for a standard.
Client: "Web designer seems like a sweet job."
Me: "Yeah, it's great."
Client: "You probably love it so much that you would do it even you didn't get payed!"
Me: "Uhm…"
Client: "Great! So I don't have to pay you?"
We got a call at home at 11 pm from a client whose website had been crippled by malware. He was extremely upset that the website needed to be rebuilt from scratch, and refused to understand why it was necessary. Then he suddenly stopped ranting and said:
"You know what, I don't have time for this. I have to go fuck this prostitute. I'll call you later."
Client: "Good God! Is this website going to be made of gold or something?"
Me: "Ahh, no. Is there something wrong with the design?"
Client: "No, its the price! We are a charity! You can't make charities pay for things. You're suppose to give them to us for free!"
CEO: "Hi Michael, we wanted to talk to you in person (over the phone) to resolve the question of payment."
Me: "OK."
CEO: "Let's forget all of the stuff that has gone on in the past with this project. Let me put {Accountant) on the phone."
Accountant: "What we'd like to do is offer to pay $XXX for the project. Based on what you billed us we think $XXX is a fair amount, minus what we've already paid you, minus the recruiter fee."
Me: "So you're 'offering' to pay me half of what is still owed on the bill for the work you hired me to do."
Accountant: "Well, based on the total cost we're willing to pay, minus the recruiter fee…"
Me: "A simple yes or no, will suffice. If you owe me $XXXX and are 'willing' to pay $XXX, if my math is correct, and I believe it is, I can redo it on my calculator if you'd like, you're 'willing' to pay me half. Even though I rushed the work and everyone was thrilled with it."
CEO: "Well… yes, I guess, you could say that is half…"
Me: "I do."
CEO: "Look, I'm sure you just want to put this behind you…"
Me: "Actually, no. I want to be paid in full."
CEO: "Well, this is all we're willing to pay."
Me: "You know you signed a contract right?"
Accountant: "Well, we had several conversations via email and in person about this…"
Me: "Yes, in each you tried to weasel you're way out of paying me…"
CEO: "I think this is a fair compromise."
Me: "I think you'll be hearing from my lawyers."
This conversation occurred after receiving a retainer check that was short $1000 from the agreed upon amount, and had a post-it stuck to it informing me that they had decided to pay me in cash.
Client: We decided to pay you in cash, which means that we can have a 20% - 30% discount on your services.
Me: How so?
Client: Well, since you won't report the income, that will save you money. We figure that you're in a 30% tax bracket, so we can certainly reduce your fee by that amount as you would be making more money.
Me: That's not how it works.
Client: Oh yes it is.
Me: Um, I am not in the practice of giving cash discounts, plus, you just sent me a check.
Client: You mean you won't do this?
Me: No.
Client: So you're trying to rip me off?
Me: You were the one who decided to pay cash and decided that you were getting the discount.
Client: [Yelling] Okay, fine. Forget we every had this conversation. [Hangs up on me]
The client sent me a 30+MB file that my mail server could not support. I suggested he send the file via You Send It.
Client: I have not had time to do that.
I must say, I find it very strange that you don't have the equipment to open a simple picture. How can I be trusting you with my website, when you don't have the ability to even open and post a picture? I'm very confused by this. Also, I do pay you to build and maintain the site, and so you should have the equipment necessary to do so. It is implied that you SHOULD have and understand the equipment and programs needed to develop, support and protect the sites you are responsible for. Then you tell me you can't open a picture? That does not sit well with me.
Do you understand my growing concern?
After a long and exhaustive feedback session where little was said and much was contradicted, the client closed with this:
"Just be an artist."

an excerpt form RFC 2281 - Cisco HSRP
7. Security Considerations
This protocol does not provide security. The authentication field
found within the message is useful for preventing misconfiguration.
The protocol is easily subverted by an active intruder on the LAN.
This can result in a packet black hole and a denial-of-service
attack. It is difficult to subvert the protocol from outside the
LAN as most routers will not forward packets addressed to the
all-routers multicast address (22.214.171.124).
- ----
Cisco is considering using MD5 to improve the protection of HSRP in
future releases of IOS.
However, there are some other factors that must be considered in
this context:
- - this vulnerability can be exploited only from the local segment
(not over the Internet).
- - the same effect, denial of service, can be produced by using ARP,
which can not be protected in any way.
The last factor is especially important since it may cause a false
sense of security if the user is using a hardened version of HSRP as an
attacker can still disrupt the network by using crafted ARP packets.
Another aspect of this issue is that in its current implementation, HSRP
doesn't seem to perform a validity check on the IP addresses. This is
under active investigation as Cisco Bug ID CSCdu38323.
Cisco HSRP documentation can be found at -

LOTEM, a non-profit organization, was established in 1993 by Amos Ziv following a moving encounter with a group of visually impaired teenagers hiking in the Israeli countryside. Amos realized that in order to provide these special-needs hikers with the maximum benefit of activities in a rural environment, suitable guidance and more defined trails were essential.
Target Population
Today, LOTEM is the leading organization in Israel offering outings, nature clubs and creative workshops in nature to people with special needs. With centers in Jerusalem and the north of Israel, LOTEM serves more than 30,000 participants every year. LOTEM's target population includes children and adults who are blind and visually impaired, deaf and hearing impaired, physically and intellectually challenged, emotionally disturbed, and at risk of physical and emotional abuse.

sorting photos in booksmart driving me nuts
hi all
booksmart seems by default to import everything single pic that I have in iphoto ( over 1000) and really i just want to import a specific folder of images that are ready for my particular book.
I'm new at this. Still putting my Book together.
If you open up booksmart, then open up your folder that has the photos/images in, you can drag & drop your image into the space. I find it easier this way than filling up the left hand space with 1000s of images. It's easy to delete that photo off of the page by right clicking and chooseing. Or just drop another image on top of that image.
Hope this has helped you.
Booksmart imports all of your iphoto images in automatically and you can't delete them. The way around this is to use the filters in booksmart to select only the new images that have been added to iphoto.
ok yep sorted it now thanks v much
Love the product but this is a horrible / unworkable solution.
OK! Redemption Time! Blurb just released the Lightroom Plugin for Book Smart. I will need to test this out but if it keeps my collections and displays only my collection we may have a winner!.

New wastewater treatment plant successfully completes test run
WILLMAR -- Willmar's new wastewater treatment plant completed a seven-day test run this week without any operating issues.
Plant contractor Graham Construction Services began the test run known as a systems demonstration on Aug. 16. Graham was required under contract with the city to demonstrate satisfactory operation of the plant's systems and associated facilities before the plant could be considered substantially complete and the city take ownership.

Many thanks to Erin Byrne and the others who drive the point home of "Data, Insights and Ideas" across all areas of my work. These ideas stem from the tenets of Digital in Action. This geeked-out tumbler goes out to you.
I recently led Travelzoo's (NASDAQ: TZOO) overall mobile and social product and commercialization strategy. Previously, I founded Scoop St. (acquired by BuyWithMe, Inc. in August 2011) here in New York City. It's a new way to shop in the social web via the power of group buying. Scoop St. launched in October 2009 with offers at small businesses followed soon after by custom packages we create called Experiences. Featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine, the company was named one of the "Top 11 Startups to Watch in New York" by The Next Web.

Also, I find this "about" text from Anthony apropos to my consolidation game:
"While I love blogging, I kinda suck at doing the whole personal blog thing. But I really like micro-blogging not really work stuff with tools like Tumblr and Twitter. Less is totally more. They are easy (I'm lazy), bit more fun (OMG which will I choose - video, photo, quote, chat, link or text), way more tidy (I'm the most unorganised person in the world), feels a bit more temporary/disposable (I have the attention span of a cat) and it is 3 times cooler than Facebook right now (probably isn't). So welcome to Everything on the Internet is true, my tumblelog. Best, Anthony."

Porter Headstones
Hi Tom,
I saw your note regarding more Porter Headstones. Are there headstones that do not have memorials set up yet? There are more members of this family that I have been searching for, and curious who the headstones may be? Also, saw your note re Jack Porter. I do not know at this time of him, but I am researching this family and may possibly run across him. I will keep in mind the name and if I do, I will send information your way? Do you have an ancestry tree? Also, I would love an invitation to myfamily.com. Thank you! Georgia Smith Montoya (my mother is a Porter and these Porters are cousins)

Price family
The way it looks is Melvin's father(Nelson)was my grand mother's father (on my mothers side), but from Nelson's 2nd marriage which was to Susie Goosey Price. I am trying to trace family lines. My grandmother always kept contact with Katherine, her half sister(think that was Melvin's sisiter. Katherine moved and lived in California.
Now on my father's side which was also from Owsley County Kentucky, are the Tincher and Neely lines.
Which I have found out I have Neely on both side of my family.
The same Harmon (Armon) G Neely which dates back through my father's mother married Pauline Price which dates back through my mother's mother.
So very interesting to trace back my mothers side to Harmon G Neely and also trace back my fathers side to the same Harmon G Neely.
Are you familiar with these names

After a wild offseason, it's hard to believe that we're just seven days away from opening day. With all the movement in the NBA, one would think that a new contender might be in prime position to dethrone the two-time defending champion Miami Heat.
Nope. In a survey completed by all 30 NBA general managers, the Miami Heat's chances of repeating have gone up from last year, increasing from 70 to a 75% of becoming back-to-back-to-back winners. Other teams receiving votes to win the NBA Finals included Indiana, Chicago, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the L.A. Clippers. The Brooklyn Nets? Nowhere to be found.
The Nets, however, were runaway winners for the Atlantic Division, posting 75.9% of the vote -- with the crosstown rival Knicks coming in with the remaining 24.1%.
Here's where else the Nets earned votes:

Born Under a Bad Sign
I hate to keep dwelling on the "Atheist thing", but the other day, I had one of those of "Jesus loves you" experiences. You know what I'm talking about: two strangers walk up to you in the parking lot of Borders and hand you a Jack Chick tract (which you take because it's a fuckin' Jack Chick tract - score!), and then they ruin an otherwise pleasant experience by saying "Did you know that Jesus loves you?"
The correct response is, of course:
"Look, I want you to go right back to Jesus and tell Him that it's over OK? I'm tired of the phone calls and the emails and the notes on my doorstep; and I'm sick-to-fuckin'-death of Him sending His friends around. He needs to move on and find someone else. I don't want to have to get a restraining order, but if He keeps this shit up, that's just what I'll do."
The question that we're left with is: After breaking up with Jesus, which deity would one date next? And, more importantly, which deities would allow you to make a smooth transition back into the dating world? In other words, what other Gods share similar characteristics to Jesus?
If you click on the chart below, you'll get a much bigger, more helpful, chart that you can print out and hand to anyone who might currently be seeing Jesus - you know; just in case they break up.

Anger as "extremist" Islamic speaker visits university
Students have spoken of their anger after a speaker with links to fundamentalist Muslim groups was allowed to address the University of York's Islamic Society.
The society invited Yusuf Chambers, a trustee of the London-based Islamic Research and Education Academy (IREA), to speak to students on "patience and perseverance" on June 13.
But several people objected after he was quoted endorsing practices including the stoning of adulterers.
A small contingent of students held a demonstration outside the event, held at Alcuin College on campus, in protest at Chambers's visit.
Third year PPE student Zoe Lederman said: "I felt it's quite important to show that we don't agree with such speakers. We should not be inviting him - not as a matter of free speech, but as a matter of decency."
It is understood that Chambers did not present any inflammatory views last night.
But former YUSU LGBT Officer Emma Brownbill, who was also at the protest, told the Yorker that allowing the event served to legitimise his presence.
The university and YUSU were "passively supporting" his other activities by providing him with a platform, she added.
Ruling on Tuesday that the talk should go ahead, university registrar David Duncan said: "Our default position is to uphold the principle of freedom of speech and expression. I have not seen any information that would justify preventing this individual from speaking."
Chambers made the offending remarks in a conversation with radical Islamic figure Zakir Naik – also a member of the IREA - which was transcribed for an Islamic website.
After Dr Naik called for the stoning of adulterers in line with radical Islamic doctrine, Chambers said: "May Allah allow us to bring back that punishment to protect all humanity."
Sam Westrop, a former York student who now works for Muslim-Jewish interfaith group Stand for Peace, called Duncan's decision a "whitewash".
He said: "We have provided him with evidence that irrefutably suggests that Yusuf Chambers is a rather vile man with vile views towards women and homosexuals.
"When Yusuf Chambers and the IERA tried to speak in Canada, the Canadian Muslim community was outraged and immediately put a stop to it. If they can recognise that the IERA and Yusuf Chambers are a threat, so can Mr Duncan."
University of York security guards were in attendance at last night's event, and The Yorker understands that the police were made aware of Chambers's visit.
The Islamic society provoked similar controversy last year after it invited hardline scholar Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari to speak to students.
Pro-Vice-Chancellor Jane Grenville said that "censorship" would be counterproductive.
"I would much rather trust students to hear a speech that is unmediated by media commentary, and to challenge it directly," she said.
YUSU President Tim Ellis said he supported the university's stance.
He said in a statement: "The Islamic Society has invited a speaker onto campus to talk about 'Patience, Perseverance and the Final Exam'. They have not brought him onto campus to talk about homosexuality and have expressly invited all students to attend the event and said that students' views can be aired in the Question and Answer section. I would urge students to make their voices heard."
Both Mr Chambers and the Islamic Society were contacted by The Yorker, but made no comment.

Pout your lips,

My embrace is a corner away.

Very pleased with 1st book
I just received Architectural Art Jewelry and am very happy. The printing is excellent and I used white type on black background! I once worked at a book printing company and know how pesky this can be.
I did notice one error…a missing space between two words, my fault. And my photographer could have done a bit better on some shots. Again not blurb's dilemma.
As I said…all-in-all-GREAT!
I just submitted my new book, ELLIS NELSON: The Visionary Sculptures of The Birdman of Muscoda and am hoping this will turn out as well. Fingers crossed.

I know what you mean. They still need improvement though. You have to keep in mind that I'm about 6'4, so they're fairly long. They've got some size on them, but not near enough for me to be happy...
I forgot something! I've got one more back picture. I'm a big fan of Animal Pak, and while I was working out a couple days ago I got a little creative, check this out.
Agreed, the legs need some mass on them, especially the quads. They've improved from when I started though, I just don't have a before picture of my quads, wish I did.
My next bulk, I'm hoping a...
And for the legs...

One of the common questions that arises when working at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is, �What kind of information is available to guide me through a procedure or when dealing with a specific hazard?� BNL has made great strides is this direction by creating the Standards Based Management System (SBMS). This is a web-based document management tool. It contains all the topic-specific Subject Areas and ES&H Standards such as how to rate Static Magnetic Fields, how to plan and control an Experiment, and how to write a Work Permit. All the necessary forms, links to other documents and links to Subject Matter Experts are provided within these documents. The SBMS allows keyword searches so that you can find the most appropriate document.
The contents of the SBMS provide generic, lab-level information. What happens if there is additional information needed for operating at the level of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)? In this case we have created the web-based NSLS ES&H Policies and Requirements Manual (PRM). Supervisors who have been at the NSLS for a while will remember the SEAPPM manual. The PRM is the �new age� version. The PRM is available to everyone.There are no controlled hardcopies.The official copy of each PRM file and form is on the web.The PRM link above will take you to a Table of Contents.You can either click on any of the Section numbers or scroll down to click on the separate documents.
A PRM document exists only if there is NSLS information that must be transmitted to personnel in addition to that information already supplied by SBMS or in the case that SBMS does not have an equivalent document. We have gone to great efforts to keep each PRM document as succinct as possible, linking to the SBMS equivalent wherever possible. Please go to the PRM site and examine its contents for yourselves.If you have questions, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The PRM is always changing and improving.Only make photocopies of a document or form for very short-term use.Always go back to the original to obtain the latest copy or information.As changes are made, I will periodically inform you via e-mail.The PRM will be referred to in the �Agreement between the NSLS and the PRT for the Construction and Operation of Beamlines at the NSLS.�
