You've probably heard too many times to count that "in this economy, you should be happy to have any job at all." Perhaps that's true, but that doesn't mean you can't try to find something better if you hate the job you've got. Here are a few things you can do this weekend to prepare to make a positive shift in your work life.
Update That Resume
Before you set out to apply for a new job, you're probably going to need an up-to-date resume. It's easy to let resume updating slide while you're employed because you have a job and it isn't the most fun thing to do. Fortunately there are some tools to make it easier to get started and make sure it's in top shape.
First things first, if you don't want to figure out the exact formatting of your resume and other tedious tasks, Resunate is a service that'll simply take your information and create a resume tailored to the type of job you want. If you've got a LinkedIn profile, you can also use the LinkedIn resume builder to save yourself the hassle of reassembling that information. If you want something a little different, VIsualize.me can create an infographic out of your work experience.
Of course, you want your resume to be unique and not a computer-generated file. These services are good at providing you with a starting point but you should take the time to personalize the document they create and still look for ways you can improve it. To start, resume checking service RezScore will analyze your resume for free and provide you with useful feedback. RezScore will not only point out actual errors, but overused words and which jobs your resume is best geared towards as well.
There's plenty you can do yourself, too. It's always good to be aware of bland phrases, redundant statements, and annoying terms. Resume checkers will catch a lot of these things, but they won't catch everything. It also helps to read your resume from bottom to top to help catch errors.
The design of your resume is also important. You don't need to revolutionize its look, but often times its a matter of simply choosing the right font and color. For more design tips, check out these design resources.

Find a Great New Place to Work
If you don't already have a new job in mind, you're going to need to find one. That is, unfortunately, somewhat of a daunting task. Whenever I've needed a job or wanted a new one, I've simply thought of companies I liked and that would provide a good learning experience. Then I'd contact all the companies on that list about available jobs. If the company already provided a list of jobs, I'd contact them anyway to just ask a question. It always helps to have your name on the company's radar and let them know you'll be applying after they help you out. If you don't have any real questions, ask them something simple and easy to answer that might not be entirely clear in the job posting. If they can answer in a few minutes and you respond with a thank you, they'll feel like they helped you and that can make them like you. While you may not have a list of companies you like on the top of your head, if you think about it for a little while you'll likely find a few. Don't rule out anything just because it seems unlikely. You may be surprised at the jobs you can get if you're smart, get things done, and stand out just a little bit. (And if you really want to stand out, this Google trick is very clever.)
But sometimes getting a job can be tough because you don't have relevant experience. Of course, you can always get a lower-level job to get that experience or simply start in a position you are qualified for and move into the position you want after you've proven you're a great worker. In some cases, you can spin your unrelated experience to make it feel relevant. I've never applied for a job for which I was qualified, but I worked my way up through an internship or convinced my employer that my existing experience is relevant. Often times it's as simple as finding a task or two that you completed at your current job that is actually relevant and focus on those.
When you're really not sure where you might want to work, however, there are plenty of ways to find new options. Strangely, Twitter is a good option because organizations like Tweet My Jobs post quite a few opportunities. The Labor Department's Facebook page provides job listings and career advice as well. On top of those options, check out the top five Lifehacker reader favorites for job search sites.

Nail the Interview
Job interviews can be tough. It's the only part of the process where you really have to think on your feet. If you're qualified, intelligent, and get things done, the only other thing you really need is charisma. Most decisions are made on a first impression and so coming across as a like-able person is often your biggest asset (which, thanks to body language, is easiest to do in person). If you can pull that off initially, you'll be in good shape unless you mess something up. So just don't say anything stupid!
On that subject, you really just need to know what you should avoid during the interview. It also happens to know what to ask and understand the motives behind the questions the interviewer asks you. If you're asked the most annoying question—that being "what's your greatest weakness?"—just choose an irrelevant skill.
And once you do nail the interview, consider asking if the company offers a signing bonus. Sometimes that's all you need to do to get one.

marketing became the dominant strategy (Pierce and Gilpin 2004), and traditional forms of advertising in mass media have declined. Magazine advertising has not been abandoned, however, and the industry still spends $107 million per year to produce advertisements containing colorful, attractive, and prominently placed imagery that appeals to both youth and adult consumers (King and Siegel 2001). Expenditures for magazine advertisements have declined dramatically since their peak in 1984, however, when tobacco companies reported spending $425.9 million on advertising in this medium, which then represented more than 20 percent of their marketing and promotion budgets. Magazine advertisements now represent a much smaller percentage of total spending: less than 1 percent, if retail consumer price discounting is included (FTC 2005).
The amount of cigarette advertising in magazines with high youth readership has declined since tobacco companies agreed to avoid targeting youth as a condition of the MSA (Hamilton et al. 2002). Researchers credit this trend to public pressure from advocacy groups and the popular press, as the proportion of advertising expenditures in magazines with at least 15 percent youth readership declined more after public pressure was applied than immediately following the execution of the MSA (Hamilton et al. 2002). Nevertheless, a recent court decision may make tobacco companies take greater care in adhering to the MSA advertising requirements; in 2004, a California court of appeals affirmed a trial court ruling that the R.J. Reynolds Company violated the agreement by placing cigarette advertisements in magazines with high youth readerships (People of the State of California ex reI. Lockyer v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, 116 CalAppAth 1253, 1291, 2004).
Notwithstanding the decline in industry expenditures on advertising in youth-oriented publications, however, youth exposure to cigarette advertisements remains high. One study found that magazine advertisements for brands of cigarettes preferred by youth (those smoked by more than 5 percent of the smokers in the 8th, 10th, and 12th grades) reached more than 80 percent of young people in the United States an average of 17 times each in 2000 (King and Siegel 2001). Moreover, studies have shown that the MSA itself had little, if any, effect on the exposure of young people to magazine advertisements in the years following the agreement (Hamilton et al. 2002; King and Siegel 2001; Krugman et al. 2005). Cigarette companies continue to promote their products in magazines that reach high percentages and numbers of youth readers (Krugman et al. 2005).
Like magazine advertising, point-of-sale advertising (advertisements at the retail location, excluding outdoor signs on retailer property) also represents a smaller percentage of the promotional spending for tobacco companies than it did in years past. In 2003, tobacco companies reported spending $165.8 million on point-of-sale promotions. This amount rep-

Doncaster Council's Bentley Training Centre is offering first aid awareness to schoolchildren.
Since launching First Aid Awareness for Kids last month several schools including Toll Bar Primary, Castle Hill Juniors, St Joseph's, Rossington and Bawtry Mayflower have booked a session.
Anna Taylor year 5/6 teacher at Toll Bar Primary said: 'It was absolutely fantastic, the kids really enjoyed it and could have done it all day. The content was age appropriate and the tutor was very knowledgeable in the subject area.'
The Deputy Mayor, Councillor Glyn Jones, said: 'It's really important that children themselves have some basic first aid awareness. This knowledge can help cope with the strangest of circumstances as well as more common incidents such as cuts and bruises, burns and choking. The Bentley Training Centre also offers separate first aid classes which are open to parents and carers.'

Historical Hurricanes: 1940-1980
Some of the more devastating hurricanes included Audrey in 1957, one of the most powerful hurricanes to strike the United States, Camille, and Agnes, which drenched the Northeast in 1972.
Hurricane Audrey
Early in the hurricane season, tropical storms often form in the Gulf of Mexico, western Caribbean Sea, or the Bay of Campeche off the coast of Mexico. Hurricane Audrey, a June storm, fit this pattern. It was the most powerful June storm on record in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea or Atlantic Ocean. Audrey formed in the Bay of Campeche as a tropical storm on June 24, 1957.
Audrey moved due north from there and intensified rapidly into a hurricane in the southern Gulf of Mexico by June 26th. The storm moved north toward the Texas and Louisiana coast and made landfall on June 27th. The storm intensified rapidly while crossing the Gulf, making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale.
The Louisiana coastal area is especially vulnerable to a storm surge because of its low elevation. Storm surge from Audrey exceeded 12 feet on the Louisiana coast as the storm made landfall near Beaumont, Texas. Gulf waters rushed over 25 miles inland.
Many homes were destroyed in the Lake Charles area of Louisiana, and offshore oil installations suffered heavy damage. Estimates placed damage totals at $150 million. Three hundred and ninety people perished
Hurricane Camille
Hurricane Camille was one of only two hurricanes to make landfall on the United States mainland in the Twentieth Century as a Category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Only the 1935 Florida Keys hurricane was more intense.
Camille formed in early August 1969. It became a tropical storm and then a hurricane in the Caribbean Sea south of Hispaniola before it moved over extreme western Cuba, where it intensified rapidly in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
The storm's cloud pattern appeared smaller than some hurricanes on satellite images. Since meteorologists in 1969 thought the size of the cloud pattern determined a storm's strength, hurricane forecasters did not realize the strength of Camille. Only after reconnaissance aircraft reported winds of over 150 miles per hour did forecasters know what they were dealing with.
The wind and storm surge damage was catastrophic. The eye of the hurricane made landfall just west of Pass Christian, Mississippi. Gulfport, Mississippi reported winds of 100 miles per hour with gusts from 150 to 175 miles per hour. The storm surge in the Pass Christian/Long Beach, Mississippi, area was in excess of 24 feet!
Even after landfall, Camille continued to wreak havoc in the United States as the storm moved up into Kentucky and then east into Virginia. The higher elevations of Virginia were devastated by flash floods after 27 inches of rain fell in only eight hours. Over 100 people died in the floods alone which brought the total death toll to 256.
Hurricane Agnes
Hurricane Agnes was a 1972 storm that proved that a hurricane does not have to be strong to cause extensive damage.
Agnes was a typical June storm that began life as a tropical depression over the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Drifting east toward Cuba and then north, it became a hurricane on June 18th in the southern Gulf of Mexico and made landfall near Apalachicola, Florida.
Agnes never did strengthen beyond a Category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Most of the damage caused by the storm occurred after landfall. It moved slowly through Georgia and the Carolinas, dumping heavy rain in the southern Appalachians. Seventeen tornadoes were reported, mostly in Florida. Flooding was reported from North Carolina through Virginia.
From June 20th to 23rd, the low pressure system hardly moved as it lingered near the Pennsylvania/New York border. Over 15 inches of rain fell in this region and flooding, especially in the Susquehanna River basin, devastated many towns. Most of the damage was in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey, causing over $2.1 billion in damage.
Other historical hurricanes from earlier in the century include the 1900 hurricane that wiped out Galveston, Texas, the one which struck the Florida Keys in 1935, and the storm that swept through New England in 1938.
More recent storms include Hugo, which made landfall north of Charleston, South Carolina, and Andrew, which hit the U.S. mainland twice in 1992.

The day after my initial call, Vlad and a co-worker came to my home to prepare an estimate for remodeling my two bathrooms. During their evaluation, they made a number of creative suggestions, including tearing out a partial wall which greatly enhanced the master bathroom. The next day Vlad brought an estimate by and we agreed to start the work 2 working days later. Vlad and partner arrived promptly Monday morning and by the end of the week the 1st bathroom was gutted and minor dry rot repared. They were later to find more dry rot but most of it prior to estimating the cost of work to be done in that room. They refused to put new flooring over the rotted areas: NO PATCHING was done at any time during the remodel. The bathrooms were beautifully done and so I asked about putting in hardwood floors. I got that estimate that afternoon and the work started simultaneously with finishing of the bathrooms. Eventually I decided to replace the kitchen cabinets and counters and all doors throughout and to refinsh the living room ceiling (old water damage). During the entire project, I was kept informed of what was going on and everyone brought in to work was very pleasant and cordial to work with. I ended up having my whole1200 sq. ft. condo remodeled and during the entire project, the team supported my needs with moving furniture and removing all debris. Everything was cleaned up daily and at the end of the project including the garage and deck that were used by the construction team." -Kathleen B. Vancouver, WA

Signs of Mischief
Roger Gastman is a great collector of things. Weird classifieds, rare graffiti propaganda, children's toys, vintage spraypaint, art by serial killers… he's got it all and more. For TOOLS OF CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, his most recent show which opens tonight at The Seventh Letter Flagship Store and Gallery in LA, Roger has placed on display a robust selection of these artifacts for viewing and consumption. Since his instagram is about the only way we can observe Roger's daily collectings, we pulled images of some of our favorite digital ephemera, and asked Roger to explain. What follows is the result of our online conversation also known as "explain this picture."

The Jackets suffered a disappointing loss tonight in Newark as they fell prey to the Devils 5-2. The game started out with the Devils on fire. Blink and you would have missed three goals, all in Jersey's favor. It was special teams that killed Columbus tonight. Two of New Jersey's three first period goals were power play tallies, and the Jackets were down 3-0 before anyone knew what was happening. The guys in Blue finally got one back in the first period, when Artem Anisimov scored the Jackets' first goal of the night, and it was 3-1 NJ after one.
The second period looked better, if by better you mean not giving up three goals in the blink of an eye. The Jackets got another goal back off the stick of Marian Gaborik, who is looking to prove his worth to the team after missing a considerable amount of games due to multiple injuries. Gaborik's goal cut the Jackets' deficit in half, making it a 3-2 game. Things started looking up when Columbus went on the power play with 33 seconds to go in the second period, but Jack Johnson made a mistake and turned the puck over, and the Devils capitalized for a shorthanded goal to finish out the period with a 4-2 lead.
Coming in to the third, the Jackets needed to get going fast. They didn't. They didn't play terrible, but the puck control on offense just wasn't there, and they lacked the necessary offensive pressure they needed to come back from a two goal deficit. The 4-2 lead held, and with just over three minutes to go in the game Columbus pulled Bobrovsky from the net. The empty net went well at the start, with the Jackets holding the puck in the offensive zone consistently. However, some wide-open ice and a mishandled puck by James Wisniewski lead to the Devils' shorthanded goal and put the game away 5-2.
The Jackets didn't come out with the performance that many fans had hoped, and certainly not the kind of performance that will propel them into the playoffs. They will look to rebound from this loss at home on Saturday against the Florida Panthers.

This double tom stand features Tama's Omni-ball tom drum angle adjustment and noiseless design. In addition to its rock solid stability, Tama's Omni-ball system is effortlessly adjustable. You can achieve almost any angle by loosening one T-nut.
Are cymbal stands just for supporting cymbals? Tama think cymbal stands are also musical instruments. All Tama cymbal stands in the Roadpro and Swingstar lineups were designed with the elimination of stand noise a top priority. A special rubber cap at the end of the upper tube eliminates swaying and rattling, and a special nylon sleeve underneath the die-cast joint of the base section further reduces swaying.

Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
A great stand by Tama. Gets done what needs to be done. The double braced legs keep everything very sturdy. I have found that using the tom mounts in a hang style works just as great as the more common upright styles, whatever your preference may be. Packs up easy, not ridiculously heavy. Even though its got quite a bit of metal keeping everything stable, it won't be a back breaker. Regardless, I was very pleased with my purchase!
Best Uses
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
I purchased this stand as a secondary stage kit stand, I found it holds the toms very securely and is very dependable for the cost. I am a professional drummer of 20 years and play extremely heavy, this stand has held strong and for the price it is unbeatable. I would definitely suggest this stand to all types of drummers.
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
This is a superb stand for a very reasonable price. It's solid and fully adjustable for all needs.
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
Good, solid stand that goes as high, or as low, as you possibly could want. Tom angles adjust easily, and as solid as it is, it still carries light. It's overpriced, of course, because all drum hardware is. But that's probably just me.
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
I recently purchased this stand to mount 2 Tama toms to sit over a 22" Yamaha "Concert Series Advantage" bass drum. The toms cannot be mounted to extend over the bass drum, which means that you have to stretch to reach them. Quality-wise it is built sturdy and it doesn't rock when I'm rocking. But, I have to deduct points, because I can't use the stand, so I must send it back.Tama makes some of the best hardware out there and I'm sure that if you don't have a deep (oversized) bass drum, you should have no problem whatsoever with this stand.
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
this is a great stand you can move your toms pretty much anywhere you want and the stand is very sturdy it will not budge.with a name like tama it has to be good. this stand exceeded my expectations.buy it now!!!
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
I play Tama will only play Tama, and the possibilities with tom placement, sound and durability is why I will always be loyal...I got this stand to replace an old non Tama stand I had been using.....What can I say, it does what it's supposed to do, it's solid, I've got the toms exactly where they need to be, and they're solid....no movement! Great stand
Comments about Tama Stage Master Double Tom Stand:
This stand is perfect. It is just like the mount that usually goes into the bass drum, but I wanted my toms directly in front of me. It has all the same options and the holder that goes in the bass drum. It is very sturdy and i would suggest this to any drummer who wants their toms right in front of them.

Tips For Online Faculty RSS Feed
tips for online faculty
Incorporating Active Learning into the Online Classroom
Gary Ackerman, director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Mount Wachusett Community College, works with faculty to incorporate active learning into their online and face-to-face courses, and while there are differences in these learning environments, active learning can be implemented just as well online as face-to-face.
Strategies for Managing Online Discussions
In small online courses, instructors have the luxury of participating in frequent personal interactions with students in online discussions. But doing this with more than 15 students can be difficult. Fortunately, there are ways to maintain instructor presence and participation in online discussions without becoming overwhelmed. In an interview with Online Classroom, Heidi Ash, online program director for the Department of Health Studies at Texas Woman's University, offered the following ways to address this issue:
How Teaching Online Made Me a Better Face-to-Face Instructor
I have been teaching online courses for more than eight years now. I was one of the first at my previous institution to transition a face-to-face (F2F) course to a 100% online course and now, in addition to my F2F courses, I also teach for two fully online institutions. However, I still find many of my F2F colleagues reluctant to make that transition.
The Art and Science of Successful Online Discussions
Faculty use asynchronous discussions to extend and enhance instructional practices in the online classroom. It is widely reported that online discussions play an integral role in facilitating students' learning, as well as fostering dialogue, critical thinking, and reflective inquiry (Kayler & Weller, 2007; Morris, Finnegan, & Sz-Shyan, 2005). Despite faculty's knowledge that discussion forums can serve as a useful learning tool, online discussions are not easy to establish and manage.
Five Things Online Students Want from Faculty
Through regular student feedback, Jennifer Luzar, associate professor of language arts at Northwood University, has compiled the following things students want in their online courses and ways that she has adapted her instruction accordingly.
1. Quick responses – From the time she started teaching online, Luzar has made it a point to respond as soon as possible to her students. The typical reply from students is, "Wow! Thanks for the quick response," as if this is not usually the case. "I used to be surprised by that because I feel that as online instructors it is our responsibility to try to get back to these people as quickly as possible," Luzar says.
Promoting Students' Self-Efficacy in the Online Classroom
As online education enrollment increases, (Allen & Seaman, 2011), innovative practices are needed to improve quality instruction. One area that needs further exploration is that of promoting online students' self-efficacy. In this article we examine the concept of self-efficacy, as it pertains to the online classroom, and offer practical suggestions for online instructors.
Recent Seminars
Online Learning that Lasts: How to Engage & Retain Students
Captivating courses that elicit students' best work has less to do with course content and far more to do with course delivery. That's good news for you: You can't change the material you need to teach, but you can always change the way you teach it. And when you make the right changes, you'll be able to hold students' attention, increase course and program retention, and facilitate long-term learning that lasts far beyond the end of the term.
Online Seminar • Recorded on Tuesday, August 5th, 2014
Feedback Strategies for Online Courses
There are many ways to provide feedback to students in an online course. When selecting the type and frequency of feedback, consider what the students want and how they will benefit from it without creating an unreasonable amount of work for yourself. In an interview with Online Classroom, Rosemary Cleveland, professor of education, and Kim Kenward, instructional designer at Grand Valley State University, offered the following advice on how to manage feedback in the online learning environment:
Selecting the Appropriate Communication Tools for Your Online Course
When designing an online course it's important to carefully consider which tools align with the course's learning objectives and the types of communication that will occur.
There are three types of communication that can occur in an online course—one to one, one to many, and many to many. In an interview with Online Classroom, Sara Ombres, faculty development instructor, and Anna Reese, production coordinator/instructional designer, both at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Worldwide Campus, talked about how they help instructors select communication tools to suit the situation.
Why Demand Originality from Students in Online Discussion Forums?
As an online instructor, I require my students to engage in weekly discussion forums. In the online college environment, discussion forums are designed to simulate a professor and his or her students engaged in a traditional classroom discussion. Students respond to a question and then reply to the responses of their classmates. The point is to keep the discussion moving, keep students engaged in the topic for the week, and facilitate learning.

I've got a spreadsheet that deals with dates and am trying to format a resulting cell to show a specific format. For instance;In cell C3 there is a start date 1/27/1994In cell D3 is =TODAY()And in cell E3 is =(D3 - C3) which is 6637 daysHow do I get the resulting cell (E3) to show something like "18 years 2 months 3 days". (Or maybe cell F3 working with the result in E3).Is this even possible? I'm totally lost when it comes to Excel 2003. Thanks for reading.
I don't believe Excel offers that specific time/date format.If you were to divide E3 / 365 you'd come up with years. If it needs to be specific you may have to look into scripting something.

From Here=DATEDIF(A1,B1,"y")&" years "&DATEDIF(A1,B1,"ym")&" months "&DATEDIF(A1,B1,"md")&" days"A1=First DateB1=TodayTested in Excel 2010, don't know if it will work in 2003.
Yes it works in EXCEL 2003.Thanks for the link Kilroy.

Political correctness, a tool of oppression
The solution to the issue of the name of the Washington Red Skins seems so simple, change the name. Now the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office of the federal government has stepped in to twist Daniel Snyder's arm to convince him to change the name by threatening his profits. The government is oppressing, strong arming, twisting Snyder's arm for the purpose of social engineering.
Government in a democracy was not given the power to defend hurt feelings. Feelings can be hurt in so many ways. Some perhaps more significant than others, but then where do we draw the line. We have liberal democrats who are constantly using the Saul Alinsky method of destroying the reputation and character of their opponents with libelous lies without question. Does not such behavior hurt feelings?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threw major lies at Obama's opponent Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Reid's lies about Romney were large and frequent. Harry Reid uses his pulpit on the floor of the Senate to propagate his barrage of lies against his opponents, those he dislikes and think differently than himself. Yet Reid's casting dishonest aspersions on his opponents is not considered offensive or politically incorrect.
With regard to this government regulation of speech and private property Mike Greenburg on the ESPN Mike & Mike Show thinks it is no problem taking each issue on a case by case basis. Handing to government the power to arbitrarily destroy reputations, livelihoods and lives! Mike Golic thinks the bigger picture should be looked at before jumping into such issues. I agree with Golic but think neither understands where that bigger picture can take us. I will try to give some understanding to this issue and will still likely fall way short.

Nmap Development
mailing list archives
Hey everyone,
Fyodor wanted me to do a bit of a review of the Angry IP Scanner[1]:
It's a GUI-based Java program that, in its newest generation, is
cross-platform (should work on at least Windows, Linux and OS X).
I've tested it on Windows and Linux.
It didn't need any installing on Windows; it's just a single binary (950k).
On Linux I used their .deb package.
The IP Scanner does ping sweeps and some port scanning. TCP and UDP
aren't raw because the author wants to make clear that it's not a
so-called "hacktool".
A big design difference between Nmap and the IP Scanner is that the IP
Scanner is multi-threaded instead of doing I/O multiplexing with
select(). You can choose a maximum number of threads for it to run at
a time (it uses one for *every* host).
For host specification it can take a range (you give start and end
addresses), or you can specify a netmask in address form (e.g.
255.255.255.0) or CIDR notation (e.g. /24) and it will set the end
address based on the start and netmask. It can also read from a file,
or produce random addresses. What's cool about their random address
generator is that you give it a maximum number of addresses to
produce, a base IP, and a netmask to narrow down the scope (give it
0.0.0.0 to behave like Nmap). It doesn't avoid reserved IPs like Nmap
does, however.
It doesn't seem to support IPv6, but it doesn't stop a scan from going
with an IPv6 address.
It can do TCP, UDP or ICMP pings, except of course on XP SP2 the ICMP
ping won't work due to broken raw sockets.
When doing a raw ICMP ping, instead of waiting for a timeout and
retransmitting packets, it seems to send out a set (though
configurable) number of probes out at the same time.
For port scanning, it can take a range of ports much like Nmap (e.g.
The TCP ping and port scanning seems to be broken on Linux. When I
use a TCP ping probe, it reports every host as up. When I use a
working ping probe (e.g. ICMP), and do a TCP port scan, it reports
virtually every host has having at least one open port (and hences
changes the host's state).
Since TCP has to be through connect() and it has to create a new
thread for every host, scans can be slow. Doing the same scan with
the IP Scanner and Nmap with the default timing options as an
unprivileged user (hence doing connect()), Nmap is usually *at least*
twice as fast as the IP Scanner. The IP Scanner hasn't been able to
beat Nmap in accuracy or speed in any tests I've tried.
After a scan is finished, you can use what's called an "opener" to
start a session with a selected IP. You can setup different command
strings and it will open up things like a FTP, Telnet, or HTTP
If the TCP ping and port scanning didn't seem to be broken on Linux,
and if raw sockets weren't broken on the Windows I have available,
this could be a pretty nice little scanner. It doesn't need
installing on Windows and it has a cross-platform GUI. But it doesn't
seem to offer much that Nmap doesn't already have in some way or
One thing I do like about it is the ability to narrow down the random
IP generation to a given base IP and netmask. This may not be easy to
implement in Nmap (since a user may or may not want a reserved IP, and
the random IP generation code would have to be changed to allow for
this), and probably not worth it. For example, if you wanted random
IPs in the range of 192.*.*.*, should 192.168 be chosen or not? It's
still pretty cool, though.

Windows 7 64-bit
HP Touchsmart IQ775 GeForce Go 7600 Driver Update
For those of you running Windows 7 either 32-bit or 64-bit on an HP Touchsmart IQ775 with a GeForce Go 7600, please visit tweakforce.com - Downloads for the correct driver update.
I had an issue with an outdated driver. When Windows Update had their most up-to-date drivers installed, it installed an older version instead of the latest one.
This cleared up all of my problems and I'm sure it will help you with yours.
Just as a precaution, I'd check to see if you have this folder before updating though (just incase!)
C:\nVidia Forceware\XTreme-G 175.63 Mobile Vista 32bit
OR (depending on your bit)
C:\nVidia Forceware\XTreme-G 175.63 Mobile Vista 64bit
after installing the update you should then have...
C:\nVidia Forceware\XTreme-G 190.62m Vista Win 7 32bit
OR (depending on your bit)
C:\nVidia Forceware\XTreme-G 190.62m Vista Win 7 64bit

Anonymous said: so u & jayme look cute together and all but do you actually have stuff in common?
I believe I answered that in the last question, but yes we do, not a lot but we both have little things we dont like, like food, and a lot of the movies we like we have in common as well, we're both naturally blonde, but otherwise we don't really have a hell of a lot the same, but we're always finding new things :)
Anonymous said: What do you love about jayme? Like seriously though.. Like the little things that only you would really notice that she does that makes you smile or anything like that? Not obvious things like her smile or anything but is there little things that you just notice and they put a big smile on ur face? (:
everything… I dunno, I love her kisses, the feeling they give me, as well as when I cuddle her :) amazing :) I love how we're always finding little things we have in common, little petty hates of things, like mushrooms hahaha :) I love how I can make her smile just by smiling, and how she can do the same :)
Anonymous said: Is Jamie a good kisser?!
Jayme*, well the way her kisses make me feel, I'd say she's good :)
Anonymous said: U would look so frickin hot with a moehawk!!!!!
Yep. Totes.
Anonymous said: Hey um, I would ask you on facebook but youd probably get mad at me, um apparently you used to be gay or you still are, is that true? It's just what I've heard.

df Joe Maddon will not return as manager of the Rays after nine seasons in Tampa. Maddon exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and is leaving the team immediately.
"We tried diligently and aggressively to sign Joe to a third contract extension prior to his decision," Rays owner Stuart Sternberg said in a statement after ESPN's Buster Olney broke the story. "As of yesterday afternoon, Joe enabled himself to explore opportunities throughout Major League Baseball. He will not be managing the Rays in 2015."
Maddon, a two-time American League Manager of the Year, compiled a 754-705 record with the Rays. He previously managed parts of two seasons with the Angels.
Earlier this month, the Rays lost a key front office piece as executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman left to become a senior adviser to Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten. Friedman had been with the Rays for 10 years.
Not everyone was pleased with golfer Ian Poulter's latest negative comments of fellow PGA members.
In the British golfer's new book "No Limits," which was released last week, Poulter criticized both Tom Watson and Nick Faldo. Watson captained the United States team during this year's Ryder Cup loss to the European squad. Eight major wins and a 10-3-1 career record in Ryder Cup play wasn't enough to keep Watson away from the criticism.
Faldo, who has won six majors during his career, also came under fire for his poor performance as Europe's captain during a 2008 loss at the Ryder Cup.
PGA President of America Ted Bishop took exception to Poulter's comments, and he used to social media to call out the golfer's recent book.
Tweeted Bishop: Faldo's record stands by itself. Six majors and all-time RC points. Yours vs. His? Lil Girl.
Soon after he tweeted this and posted another critical thought on Facebook, Bishop called his own actions "inappropriate," and he then deleted the tweet.
Poutler said he was more than displeased about the comments, especially since they came from a place of authority in the golf world.
"Is being called a 'lil girl' meant to be derogatory or a put-down?" Poulter said in a statement to Golf Channel. "That's pretty shocking and disappointing, especially coming from the leader of the PGA of America."
Here are the highlights from Friday's Headlines on Dennis & Callahan with Kirk Minihane, John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. To hear the segment, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
– A New York City doctor who treated on Ebola patients in West Africa returned to the United States and tested positive for the virus. Dr. Craig Spencer is the fourth person in the U.S. to be diagnosed with Ebola. Once doctors realized Spencer had Ebola, he was quarantined at Bellevue Hospital.
"It's frightening," said Callahan. "You don't agree that this is frightening? This idiot comes back from Africa when he was treating Ebola patients, and instead of just laying low for a while, decides to take the subway to the bowling alley."
Continued Callahan: "First of all, what self-respecting physician bowls?"
Replied Minihane: "I wouldn't mind bowling a little bit more — it's fun."
"Would you be happy if your doctor was giving you a checkup, looking at his watch saying, 'I'm going to leave,'?" said Callahan. 'Shouldn't this doctor be arrested? Quarantined, arrested and charged."
Said Minihane: "I think if you go West Africa, that's great. You want to treat these people, that's wonderful. If you do come back, you can't come out for like two months."
– Former Boston mayor Thomas Menino stopped his chemotherapy treatment and suspended his book tour during his battle with cancer. Menino said he wants to spend time with his family during the difficult time.
Said Dennis: "It doesn't sound good. Good luck to him."
Replied Callahan: "He wants to spend more time with his family, and God bless him, I'm sure he will, do you think he wishes he did that earlier? Because he worked 20 years, seven days a week, 24/7. Do you think there's that regret saying, 'Why didn't I do this?' "
"I think he enjoyed what he did," said Dennis. "I think he enjoyed running the city."
– Zach Galifianakis for the past few years has hosted a parody talk show called "Between Two Ferns," interviewing people ranging from President Barack Obama to actress Jennifer Lawrence. On his newest episode, he held an awkward interview with actor Brad Pitt.
Minihane ran a sound clip of the odd interview and while he enjoyed it, the other hosts did not think it was as funny.
"I guess Brad Pitt didn't really have much to say, but he played along and he got annoyed," said Callahan.
"You play like you're annoyed," replied Minihane. "Some people thought it was real."
Asked Callahan: "Is that the trick for this show? Some people think it's real?"
"Sounds like Brad wasn't buying it," Callahan said.

Oracle scans BEA code for GPL and LGPL
Oracle is sifting through millions of lines of code in BEA Systems WebLogic and AquaLogic, to check that products are, as claimed free of unwanted open source licenses. The database giant is making sure here's no code licensed under GPL and LGPL that can be downloaded with BEA's middleware. GPL and LGPL are viewed by the …
How hard can it be?
If you're afraid of the Big Bad (L)GPL, then treat it as if you don't have the source code. Treat it exactly as if you had MS's Shared Source (tm) code.
You're even safer with GPL products you treat as CSS than you are with CSS treated as CSS: there IS no license to use as an end user.
Do Oracle Pies contain dead Oracles?
Wait, so you're telling me that BEA don't know whether they grabbed a chunk of GPL code from the web and stuck it in? It's like they're not sure they wrote the whole code and didn't steal bits from the public domain?
If they made Steak Pies, and they handed the pie over to analysts to determine what meat was in it, would they be good pies?
Shouldn't they know already what's in their 'pie', where it came from, when it was written under what revision by whom, when the bug fixes were put in, against what bug number by whom, under what contract.
I'd have to say BEA and Oracle shouldn't have to 'check' to see if they used code from the public domain, and because they are checking it casts a shadow of incompetence over their development processes.
Re:Do Oracle Pies contain dead Oracles?
"Wait, so you're telling me that BEA don't know whether they grabbed a chunk of GPL code from the web and stuck it in? It's like they're not sure they wrote the whole code and didn't steal bits from the public domain?"
Erm... no.
Have you ever bought a house? Did you get a surveyor in? Was that because the seller said "I don't know if there's anything wrong with it", or was it because you felt that given the cost of the house, you had to make sure?
The term is "due diligence", and it's part of any sale.
Due diligence. Numpties.
Re:Do Oracle Pies contain dead Oracles?
"Have you ever bought a house? Did you get a surveyor in?"
If I buy a steak pie factory I want to know the origin of the meat filling, I don't ask them to check it's not Donkey meat because I want to know what it *is* not that it *isn't* a particular meat.
So "Due Diligence" isn't diligent if I'm only looking for lack of Donkey meat in the steak pie production line.
So are Oracle steak pies made from dead Oracles? Maybe, only Oracle can say is that they're definitely not made from Donkey!
Oracle don't allow GPL?
"BEA, like Oracle, already has a policy of not allowing GPL or LGPL software to be downloaded with its products."
Funny thing that. When I downloaded Oracle VM it was full of GPL and LGPL stuff.
Shurely shome mishtake.
Steak pies
bloody expensive steak pie at $8.5bn .... bloody expensive house too, but I'd be more inclined to check the house contents than the pie.
GPL - Remember Unbreakable Linux?
ORACLE....isn't that the company which used the GPL to redistribute Red Hat Linux? Is this hypocrisy...or what?
GPL's "infectious" nature
I think it can be traced all the way back to Richard Stallman's concept. The GPL was deliberately worded so that *any* code that uses it would "become" GPL itself. Of course, it would also mean that the mere act of compiling with gcc would make your code GPL, as you're linking GPL'd libraries. Thats what LGPL solved: you may link LGPL libs and are only required to give source code for those libs.
Now mix in this GPL behaviour with the common misunderstanding on what "free" means in "free software". Software companies usually don't give their software for free, you know. That is why the term "open source" came to be, as well as "software libre", which gives me some chuckles as it uses a Spanish loanword. (Actually, the GPL uses two loanwords, I've seen "gratis" somewhere in the GPLv2.)
@Daniel B.
The GPL was produced because, unlike the previous decades, manufacturers were keeping code secret that had been previously opened up.
For example, how many printers now come with a manual that tells you how to talk to the printer? In 1992 the epson colour printers did. No more.
The nugget that brought it about was the finding of a bug on a printer RMS bought and the refusal of the manufacturer (who sold it) to either fix the bug or make the code available for the driver to make the bug fix. For no other reason than they didn't have to.
Bugger all about viral (except in as far as copyright is viral: if I took some of Microsoft's code, would that not be virally infected by the EULA MS would apply to their code? YES).
Steak pies
You don't really want to know what is in them or you'd be retospectively trying to puke out pies you ate five years ago.
Ignorance is bliss....
If oracle has decided to look at those codes, then this is in order to make assurance double sure that what it gets is what it is. Buying a Volkswagen with a Peugoet engine clearly defines how ignorant the buyer might have been. It just wouldn't work. So sometimes its nice to peep.

AMAZING! Mark Twain in Nikola Tesla's laboratory in 1894.
I love this photo so much. I wonder what they talked about.
I hope they got drunk and used sparks to set things on fire.
Oh, it's WAY better than that. An experience with one of Tesla's inventions made Twain NEARLY SHIT HIS PANTS. From a Tesla biography:This contraption, he explained, "consists of a platform supported on elastic cushions that are ade to oscillate by means of compressed air. One day, I stepped on the platform and the vibrations imparted were transmitted to my body….Evidently, these isochronous rapid oscillations stimulated powerfully the peristaltic movements which propel the food-stuffs through the alimentary channels."
"You mean, it'll make me regular?" Twain inquired.
"Precisely, and without the use of elixirs, specific remedies or internal applications whatever."
Without further ado, Twain stepped aboard as Tesla tried to stop his assistants from chuckling. As Twain had been so enthusiastic, Tesla neglected to inform him that peristaltic action is induced almost immediately.
"Suddenly, Twain felt an unspeakable and pressing necessity which had to be promptly satisfied," Tesla told the Johnsons the next day to their tearful glee, for he had to jump off the platform and find his way swiftly to the lavatory.
"I think I'll start with the electrotheraphy machines," Twain said upon his return. "Wouldn't want those widows to get too healthy all at one shot."
What an incredible collaboration of
I want to be at that party.
I wrote a short story about this encounter a couple of years ago, but never polished it up for publication. Now I am inspired to do so.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A man charged in the killing of federal intern Chandra Levy is scheduled to appear in court. Twenty-eight-year-old Ingmar Guandique has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other counts in Levy's death.
She disappeared in 2001 and her remains were found a year later in Washington's Rock Creek Park. D.C. Superior Court Judge Gerald I. Fisher is expected to consider several motions during a Friday morning hearing. Guandique's attorneys have requested to change the venue, claiming extensive media coverage will make it difficult for him to get a fair trial in Washington. Defense attorneys have said there's no scientific evidence linking Guandique to Levy's death.

My 2013 Movies: The Great Gatsby (2013, on DVD via Redbox)
With just days left in 2013, I finally caught up with this over the weekend. It was never a must-see for me, primarily because I have little love for Baz Luhrmann's crazed, Michael-Bay-with-pretensions shooting and editing style. Moulin Rouge gave me a long headache, but my wife and I had meant to see this over the summer and still were intrigued enough to watch it.
Here's the thing: there are filmmakers who believe that every frame has to be a composition. The more visual information, the better. Every trick, metaphor, swirl and juxtaposition has to flash before your eyes, maybe multiple times.
And really, I'd rather each frame just deliver character and plot moments in them, artfully. With some subtlety. Not hammered.
In Gatsby when Nick narrates that distractions are beckoning to him, a woman literally beckons to him. When he tells us that he longed to be a writer, he picks up Ulysses and sadly puts it down. Does Gatsby seem to be reaching out for that green light? Nope, he's actually reaching for it in such a way that no human, regardless of their level of commitment and longing, has ever really done. And when Nick imagines that Gatsby might be watching him, guess what? There's Gatsby, actually and literally watching him.
(I just realized that just about all of those moments in the previous paragraph take place in roughly the movie's first 40 minutes!)
And yes, I understand that these things are all in the book - but in print, their ability to be metaphor or actuality is left to your imagination. In Luhrmann's hands, there's virtually no imagination.
Does it look and sound spectacular? Does it feel vital and amazing and visually feasty? Sure. What it never feels like is deep or thoughtful or impactful. It's all up there on the screen and gives you little to think about or reflect upon. The spectacle is the thing and the thing is the spectacle.
