"I'm your gay male friend! If Hollywood has taught us anything, it's that I'm naturally insightful!"In much the same way that people of African descent are made Closer to Earth with the Magical Negro, LGBT individuals (but most commonly gay men, except in gay male fiction, in which they are most commonly lesbians) are made Closer to Earth by being a Magical Queer. The Magical Queer has all of the wisdom in the world because s/he is gay, and has been persecuted because of it. If male, he is most often a Camp Gay or a Drag Queen, and can thusly bring culture to his heterosexual brothers and sisters. The male Magical Gay tends to be an expert on heterosexual relationships, even though he's never been in any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with a woman, and even gay romance seems suspiciously absent from his life. The Magical Queer, by virtue of his/her status as both Closer to Earth and too good for it, tends to succumb to Bury Your Gays, even if it is to teach the straight characters or audience an aesop about homosexuality. This trope runs into the same problems as Magical Negro, and Manic Pixie Dream Girl, because it can come off as more patronizing than honoring. Also, it depends on the validity of certain stereotypes which can be considered offensive to both heterosexuals and homosexuals. However, on the bright side, it's a less negative portrayal of homosexuals than certain other tropes. If Morgan Freeman is the Magical Negro, then Harvey Fierstein is this trope. See also Magical Native American (which is similar to the other various magical archetypes but tends to involve actual magic) and Gay Best Friend (which it often overlaps with).

ASP.NET MVC - Prevent Image Leeching with a Custom RouteHandler
To begin with, I'll start by reviewing the flow of execution when a request comes into a typical ASP.NET MVC site. When IIS receives a request, it passes the request to ASP.NET, based on the url, or more specifically, the file extension. With IIS 7 in integrated mode (the default), all requests are mapped to ASP.NET, while with IIS 6, you can set up a wildcard mapping to cause this to happen too.
The first component that gets invoked within an ASP.NET MVC application is UrlRoutingModule which is in fact part of System.Web.Routing. Its job is to first check the incoming url to see if there is a matching file on disk. If there is, it passes the request back to IIS to serve the file directly. If there is no matching file on disk, the module gets to work by examining its RouteCollection structure to determine where to send the request next. It will invoke the RouteHandler associated with the matching route's entry (MvcRouteHandler by default), which in turn invokes the appropriate HttpHandler to process the remaining logic associated with the request. Again, by default, this will be MvcHandler. With image files, which do exist in a subfolder somewhere within the application, the core routing module doesn't get that far as control is passed back to IIS prior to a RouteHandler being invoked.
Usually, the fact that ASP.NET bails out of processing requests for static files is desirable behaviour. However, if you want to perform some logic prior to serving these types of requests, you need to get involved programmatically at some point. You could get round the default behaviour for static files by setting RouteTable.Routes.RouteExistingFiles = true. Phil Haack (Senior Program Manager for ASP.NET MVC) rightly describes this as the "nuclear option" in that every file - css, js, doc, pdf, xml etc will have to be handled by Routing. So the key to this is to ensure that requests for static files do not match existing files on disk, which will force the routing module to perform its lookup against the RouteTable (and then invoke a RouteHandler etc). This is simple to do, just by ensuring that your <img> elements reference a fictitious directory. For example, if your images are located in a subfolder called "images", img tags that reference a "graphics" folder will not find existing matching files.
Having done this, the next steps are to:
- Register a Route for image file requests
- Create a RouteHandler to handle those requests
- Create an HttpHandler to process the actual requests
We'll start with Step 2. There's not much point in starting with Step 1 - if you try to register a route and specify a custom RouteHandler for that Route without creating one first, you will not be able to compile.
The RouteHandler is simple. It has to implement IRouteHandler, which only specifies one method - IHttpHandler IRouteHandler.GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext):
public class ImageRouteHandler : IRouteHandler { public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) { return new ImageHandler(requestContext); } }
Moving quickly on to the actual HttpHandler - ImageHandler that this method returns:
public class ImageHandler : IHttpHandler { public ImageHandler(RequestContext context) { ProcessRequest(context); } private static void ProcessRequest(RequestContext requestContext) { var response = requestContext.HttpContext.Response; var request = requestContext.HttpContext.Request; var server = requestContext.HttpContext.Server; var validRequestFile = requestContext.RouteData.Values["filename"].ToString(); const string invalidRequestFile = "thief.gif"; var path = server.MapPath("~/graphics/"); response.Clear(); response.ContentType = GetContentType(request.Url.ToString()); if (request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] != null && request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"].Contains("mikesdotnetting.com")) { response.TransmitFile(path + validRequestFile); } else { response.TransmitFile(path + invalidRequestFile); } response.End(); } private static string GetContentType(string url) { switch (Path.GetExtension(url)) { case ".gif": return "Image/gif"; case ".jpg": return "Image/jpeg"; case ".png": return "Image/png"; default: break; } return null; } public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { } public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } } }
At the bottom are the two methods that the IHttpHandler interface insists are implemented. The first of these, public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) is ignored. With an MVC application, we pass in a RequestContext object, not an HttpContext object, so an overload is provided that is MVC friendly, and it is this overload that does all the work. It is called within the ImageHandler's class constructor. In this case, ProcessRequest checks to see if my domain is part of the referer (which it should be if the image request is being made from a page in my site, and not someone else's site). If it isn't, I am returning an alternative image in the response. What you decide to return is up to you. I have seen all sorts of things returned by other people, including replacement images containing "nudies", or a simple 1 pixel transparent gif, or a plain and simple "404 Not Found".
There are other actions you could take at this point. For example, it may be that you are happy for Google to index your images, so you might want to check to see if the referer contains "images.google". You may also want to log the referer if the condition fails, indicating a potential leecher.
Now we need to register the requests for images in the RouteTable, and to indicate that ImageRouteHandler should take care of them. In global.asax, this is added:
routes.Add("ImagesRoute", new Route("images/{filename}", new ImageRouteHandler()));
Hopefully, not only should this article have helped you to protect against image leeching, but should also have given you enough of the basics behind ASP.NET MVC Routing so that you can extend it as you need for other purposes.

Please bear in mind that the `HTTP_REFERER` is not required and may be missing from the request. I understand that your code is only to educate and serve as an example, but if someone were to use it directly they would block a lot of legit requests from visitors having some kind of internet security application installed (many of these remove this header).
Saturday, December 26, 2009 11:10 AM from Mike
It's a reasonable point that you make. In that case, you might decide to send the genuine image when the HTTP_REFERER is null.
Thursday, December 31, 2009 11:21 AM from CareySon
hi mike,i have a question to ask...
if every image is come through the HttpHandler instead of download directly...if the website is about picture album or something like that...
is there any performance issue we should take into account?
Thursday, December 31, 2009 12:07 PM from Mike
I very much doubt it. The Handler requires less resources than a regular web page.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 11:38 AM from Mujahid Khaleel
The handler becomes more generic if the content type return mime is moved to a config file. This was you can control not only images, but pdf, doc, docx....
Mike, Thankyou for this, this article helped me quickly solve a problem, my handler also validates session for certain documents before serving.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 11:46 AM from Tommy Carlier
The HttpRequest-class has a property UrlReferrer that contains the parsed URI of the referrer. I think that might be a better option than to use ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"].
Thursday, February 18, 2010 1:45 PM from Denis
A bit off topic but looking at that flow diagram I wonder if it would be possible somewhere along the line on the server to decide to send back an image placeholder instead of a 404 for certain images. Doing it on the client has serveral cons.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 7:27 PM from Mike
Both methods point to the same thing. The only advantage UrlReferrer has is that it is strongly typed. Therefore, it may be a better option for those who are not used to dealing with Request and Response objects in the raw.
Thursday, February 18, 2010 7:29 PM from Mike
I'm uncertain as to what you are talking about. What kind of place holder do you have in mind and what purpose should it serve?
Sunday, February 21, 2010 6:00 PM from Dubb
how does this tie into search engines? would the image be able to be retrieved by Google, Yahoo, or Bing?
Monday, February 22, 2010 9:02 AM from Denis
I'm think of a scenario where you can't be sure of the quality of the data for a listing object that has images. In some cases image uri come across the wire that don't actually exist. Covering this with JS requires either a block at the top of the page or a block that doesn't execute till after page load. The former slows down the page rendering and the later mean the user can see broken images till the JS gets around to executing.
Monday, February 22, 2010 10:26 PM from Mike
I discuss that in the third paragraph from the end. You can add urls to the check within the 1st if statement in ProcessRequest, or you can store them in an XML file, for instance, and check against that.
Monday, February 22, 2010 10:28 PM from Mike
Yes, you are right. That's wildly off-topic. And still unclear to me.

Why not just add handler directly to web.config? Just curious ;]

Tried to implement this using VWD2010 but it does recognise the ROUTES, IRouteHandler. Am I missing a reference or something? Where does the line of code for Global.asax go exactly?
Friday, June 4, 2010 7:34 AM from Mike
The code goes in the RegisterRoutes method within global.asax.

Having some trouble getting this working with mvc3 on .net 4 framework. The images are just displaying in the browser as a broken img link. I'm kind of a noob to .net so please bear with me. I've created my images folder and put my images in there. Added the above scripts in my Globals.asax.cs, the new route declaration in the registerRoutes method and created the other classes in the same file below those already in there. I am using in my cshtml file. I'm testing this in the visual studio server. I noticed that the server.MapPath says it maps to a virtual directory in its rollover help. Do I need to set up my graphics folder as a virtual directory in IIS to get this going. It looks like it's not calling the new route at all as my breakpoint in the script is not getting hit. Is this something to do with the Razor views @Url pattern? Any ideas or hints here would be appreciated.

Sixers Try To Beat The Heat Again

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The 76ers will try to make it to straight wins overall, and two straight wins over the Heat, when they welcome Miami to the Center on Friday night.
Philadelphia beat Charlotte on Wednesday night, 95-92, and that win snapped a four-game losing streak and improved their record to 13-25.
Back on October 30th at the Center, the Sixers shocked the world by beating the two-time defending NBA Champs to open their season, 114-110. That game introduced the world to Sixers rookie guard Michael Carter-Williams who had quite the NBA debut, finishing with 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds.
Miami is 27-11 and they enjoy a comfortable 7 1/2 game lead in the Southeast Division. However, they do come to town on a three-game losing streak. Last time out on Wednesday, they lost to Washington.
KYW's Matt Leon spoke with Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer about this match-up.

Escalating costs of prescription drugs loom large in debates about Medicare and Medicaid and have led to heated discussions about the appropriate role of pharmaceutical companies in marketing their products.
In response to this interest, the Scientific Program Committee of APA's Institute on Psychiatric Services will offer a debate, "Resolved: It is Unethical for Psychiatrists to Invite Sales Representatives to Market Products Through Such Methods as Educational Materials, Samples, and Gifts in Clinical Settings," at the institute, which is being held October 29 to November 2 in Boston.
Committee member Charles Huffine, M.D., told Psychiatric News that no issue raises more passion among community psychiatrists than the propriety of pharmaceutical companies trying to influence the clinical decision making of psychiatrists.
Huffine is the immediate past president of the American Association of Community Psychiatrists.
Community psychiatrists are in a bind, he said, because they are acutely aware of the effect of prescription drug costs on patients with low incomes and disturbed about the role of marketing in driving up those costs.
Good relationships with pharmaceutical representatives can be important, however, because they help provide access to prescription drugs through samples and assistance in enrolling low-income patients in programs that provide free drugs.
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association released a report, "Getting Doctors to Say Yes to Drugs: The Cost and Quality Impact of Drug Company Marketing to Physicians," that compiles results from various studies and surveys exploring issues related to the marketing practices of pharmaceutical companies.
Detailing includes various practices by which sales representatives present pharmaceutical products to physicians.
"Detailing pays off for companies even at very high levels of expenditure," according to a study reported by the authors.
Scott Neslin, professor of marketing at Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, analyzed the marketing of 391 drugs with revenues of at least $25 million each during the period of 1993 to 1999.
He measured the average return on investment (ROI) that resulted from increasing the budgets of four major marketing strategies: detailing; direct-to-consumer advertising, medical-journal advertising, and physician meetings and events. Detailing yielded an overall ROI of $1.72 for each extra $1 invested.
Charles Goldman, M.D., who will present the affirmative position at the institute debate, told Psychiatric News that he will be raising issues about detailing, which he described as "a highly sophisticated process that utilizes detailed data on individual prescribing patterns and other characteristics of each physician."
Goldman asserted, "Pharmaceutical company representatives' use of gifts, such as food and samples, and of highly biased instructional materials is strategically linked to the data in each physician's profile."
He said that "an even bigger problem is that the pharmaceutical industry influences, directly or indirectly, much of the published research on treatment alternatives and efficacy. The problem is not with the pharmaceutical industry as such, but with the relative lack of psychiatric leadership opposing these practices and urging independent control of research and education by unbiased psychiatric professionals."
Michael Silver, M.D., who will present the negative position in the debate, told Psychiatric News that physicians, not pharmaceutical companies, are ultimately responsible for what they prescribe.
"The drug companies are not doing anything illegal," he said. "They are maximizing their profits, as do other companies in a capitalistic society."
Silver added, "There are few incentives within the current health care system for physicians to be cost-effective in their prescribing habits."
The business aspects and costs of health care have been ignored by patients and doctors alike until fairly recently, he argued.
The Millenson and Shalowitz report noted that marketing can have a positive educational effect. They wrote that a "key question" is the "extent to which the industry's promotional tactics lead to an increase in appropriate use versus inappropriate use of drugs by patients."
A meta-analysis of the literature, "Physicians and the Pharmaceutical Industry: Is a Gift Ever Just a Gift?," concluded that "interactions with pharmaceutical representatives" are linked to "nonrational prescribing, . . .rapid prescribing of new drugs, and decreased prescribing of generic drugs." The study appeared in the January 19, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers found a similar pattern in Great Britain. In the article "Characteristics of General Practitioners Who Frequently See Drug Industry Representatives: One National Cross-Sectional Survey" in the May 31 British Medical Journal, C. Watkins and colleagues reported that frequent contact with a drug representative "was significantly associated with a greater willingness to prescribe new drugs and to agree to patients' requests to prescribe a drug that is not clinically indicated. . . ."
The authors mentioned the use of "broad-spectrum antibiotics" as an example of a situation in which pharmaceutical promotion "may impose serious costs."
Analysis of National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data in the April 1 Annals of Internal Medicine found that since 1991 physicians have increasingly turned to "expensive, broad-spectrum agents, even when there is little clinical rationale for their use."
An editorial in the same issue singled out the promotional activities of pharmaceutical companies on behalf of broad-spectrum antibiotics as "a cause for concern."
"Getting Doctors to Say Yes to Drugs: The Cost and Quality Impact of Drug Company Marketing to Physicians" is posted on the Web at http://online_pressroom.net/bcbsa/. ▪

Board of Game is Meeting in Kenai, Click Here Live updates
The Alaska Board of Game will be meeting at the Kenai Visitors Center beginning Friday March 15th though Tuesday March 19th beginning at 8:30am each day.
If you cannot attend in person, the Board Meeting is being Streamed Live
The KSRM News Department will also be providing updates from the board meetings:
3/15/13 8:30am
The Board meeting is currently getting started, with all seven members ready to address some "contentious" issues, with a special emphasis on those affecting the Kenai area.
Unable to attend, Commissioner of Fish and Game Cora Campbell sent an apology, though the Deputy Commissioner is expected later.
Updates and staff updates are scheduled for this morning, with a town hall forum later this afternoon. At around 6:30pm, a meet and greet with Board Members will be held at Main St Tap and Grill.
Board Member Bob Mumford gave an update on the Big Game Commercial Services Board meeting in Fairbanks earlier this year, saying poor attendance was probably due to the focus on Juneau with HBs 8 and 158.
A Retired Guides license was instituted at the Fairbanks meeting, for a one time fee of between $300-$600. The license does not allow guiding activity, but serves as an honorary title.
Larry Van Daele, Southcentral Region Supervisor with ADF&G, thanked the Board for bringing the meeting to the Kenai Peninsula, and described the activities within the area.
For Units 7 & 15, a slew of proposals were previewed, covering moose, brown bear, black bear, wolf, and ptarmigan.
Van Daele and Board Chair Ted Spraker agreed that despite the different testimonies which may be heard over the coming days, "we're all in this together."
Research Biologist Thomas McDonough then gave a presentation on Kenai Moose. McDonough has been collecting local data for about 1 year. To fill in any gaps, McDonough referred to multi-year studies from around the state.
Moose populations boomed in the 1970s and 80s, after a large fire, which renewed the habitat.
In Unit 15C, it's estimated 20 percent of bill moose were harvested in 2010, which was deemed unsustainable. Subsequently, antler restrictions were adopted in 2011, dropping harvest levels to their lowest point in 50 years.
The winter of 2011/12 was noted as especially severe, with snow depth in many areas well above average and in some places well above the 'severe' level. McDonough related increases snow depth to higher moose calf mortality.
Spring moose captures will start next week, comparing moose rump fat measurements taking last fall while moose were in their peak physical condition to their current post-winter condition.
Despite deeper snow conditions in unit 15C, moose in that area were found to be in better condition than those in 15A. Chair Ted Spraker pointed to significant habitat issues in 15A, which haven't been fully addressed.
The moose study will continue through 2015.
Board members were impressed with the data collected and presented.
The meeting recessed at noon and will resume at 1:30pm, when the Board will continue their questions for biologist Thomas McDonough.
During the afternoon, the Board heard further reports on Kenai Brown Bears.
The afternoon town hall meeting was well attended, with 65 people packing the hall, filling all seats. Attendees spoke about brown bear, moose, and habitat issues, but Board Member Mate Turner said he would have liked to heard a greater variety of opinions, which he has herd over the years.
3/19/13 8:30am
Tuesday morning picked up the first of the Kenai Peninsula proposals, which had been previewed Monday afternoon. Proposal 143 would modify the bag limit for moose to 50″ or greater, 3 brow tines in Units 7 and 15.
The proposal was amended to read: modify the bag limit for moose to spike 50″ or greater, 4 brow tines in Units 7 and 15.
Board Member Turner said he liked the proposal, since it would give opportunities to harvest a few additional moose, encouraging the declining number of moose harvests.
Board Member Bob Mumford said he supported the 4 tines, since it would head off any biological issues and not dip into the 3 tine pool of moose.
Board Members emphasized again that calves are not legal for hunting.
No action was taken on Proposals 144-146, since they were covered in the amendments to Proposal 143.
Proposal 147 would suspend aerial taking of wolves in Unit 15A and modify the population and harvest objectives for moose.
Doug Vincent-Lang with the ADFG said he was "very concerned about the moose population in 15A," due to the habitat issues and a suspicion that bears are more numerous than anyone expected. For Unit 15A he favored some aerial intervention, but was less sure for Unit 15C where moose populations are within ADFG targets.
Proposal 147 was amended to encourage hunters and trappers to target wolves.
Proposal 148 would reauthorize the antlerless hunt in the Homer Bench area.
Board Member Turner said there's been much public testimony against this hunt, but felt it was very important to that part of the Peninsula and would be good to continue.
The Proposal was approved unanimously.
No action taken on Proposal 149, since it was covered in 148.
Proposal 150 would allow the use of motorized land vehicles in the Lower Kenai Controlled Use area during the hours of 10am-3pm and during dark hours.
Enforcement experts emphasized this Proposal could be difficult to enforce, since the hours are varied and would require additional personnel. Another concern is that drivers could be using motorized vehicles for other purposes and it would hard to prove that the driver was actually hunting moose.
The Proposal failed unanimously.
Proposal 151 would re-institute the closure of Palmer Creek/Lower Resurrection Creek areas in Unit 7 to moose hunting.
Residents of Hope called for the closure, because they felt hunters were trespassing, causing safety issues for people hiking and berry picking, and harming the local moose population. It was noted four illegal bulls were taken in 2011 when the Board opened the area to a road hunt. Only six bulls were taken in total.
Board Members emphasized that trespassing is an issue, and hunters must be sensitive. However, since there were no biological reasons to close the hunt, the Proposal failed 6-1 with only Probasco in favor.
The Board then moved to establish a minimum number of brown bears for the Kenai Peninsula. Chair Spraker felt an "off-the-cuff" suggestion thrown out of 100 was too small, and said 200 to 250 would be better. ADFG staff are now going to consider a scientifically-based number for the next meeting of the Board.
Proposal 153 was considered next, to modify registration season dates and bag limit for brown bears.
ADFG suggested three amendments: registration season April 1-May 31, Sep 15-Nov 30 around the major population areas; a draw hunt Sep 1-Nov 30 for the rest of the area; and a bag limit of one brown bear every four years.
The Chair Spraker also recommended an upper limit harvest objective not to exceed 70 bears per year, starting Jan 1, 2014.
An amendment to change the date from June 15-May 31 was passed 6-1, with Spraker against.
The bear baiting portion of the Proposal was discussed, and left in.
With amendments, 153 was approved unanimously. 154-156 were then eliminated with no action.
152, a housekeeping issue, was passed quickly.
Proposal 157 would require hunters to salvage either the hide and skill or the meat and remove from the field. It failed unanimously.
158 to increase the bag limit for black bears failed unanimously.
Proposal 159 to open Skilak Loop to wolf, coyote, and lynx hunting was taken up. Chair Spraker recommended Kelly/Pererson Lakes be added.
The Proposal was passed with amendments.
Proposal 160 opens a no closed wolf hunting season on the Peninsula. Amendments extended the trapping season for wolves and coyotes by adding 25 days to the beginning of the season.
The hunting portion of the proposal was dismissed, leaving current regulations in place. The trapping portion of the proposal, now named 160A was approved unanimously.
161, relating to ptarmigan seasons failed.
With all Kenai proposals complete, the Board recessed for lunch.

Not much new information was given at the afternoon news briefing on the Waldo Canyon Fire.
Around 32,500 people remained evacuated as firefighters continue to work structure fires in the Flying W. Ranch and Mountain Shadows neighborhoods. In some cases fire has worked back into some of the same areas hit yesterday. The size of the fire is at 15,324 acres.
Spot fires continue around Blodgett Peak and Stanley.
Erratic winds are causing fire to flare up in some locations. "We are prepared for the fire to move as fast as it did yesterday," said incident commander, Rich Harvey.
No number of structures damaged or destroyed was available but a number may be available in 24 hours.
Authorities want to meet individually with property owners whose homes were damaged or destroyed to share the news in a sensitive way.
Over 70 police officers including members from Aurora, Pueblo, State Patrol, DOC, Ft. Carson, El Paso County Sheriff's Office, FBI the ATF and other agencies are helping to provide safety and traffic direction.
All mandatory evacuations remain in place and now include Woodland Park in areas under voluntary evacuations earlier.
Pre-evacuation orders were ordered for Monument, Holland Park east of Centennial Blvd and north of Fillmore and north Pleasant Valley west of 30th Street.
City and county activities continue despite firefighting efforts.
The El Paso County Services Center on Garden of the Gods is closed due to the fire and services are being handled at other sites. See the county website for temporary lcoations.

Ostriches are creatures that inhabit the Pride Lands in The Lion King.
Ostriches usually weigh from 63 to 130 kilograms (140–290 lb), with exceptional male Ostriches weighing up to 155 kilograms (340 lb). The feathers of adult males are mostly black, with white primaries and a white tail. However, the tail of one subspecies is buff. Females and young males are grayish-brown and white. The head and neck of both male and female Ostriches are nearly bare, with a thin layer of down. The skin of the females neck and thighs are pinkish gray, while the male's is blue-gray, gray or pink dependent on subspecies.
The Lion King
Simba and Nala ride two ostriches, one fuchsia and one purple, during I Just Can't Wait to be King. They sing along with Simba, Nala and various other animals. They appear on the very top of the animal pyramid which the animals were creating.
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
Ostriches first appear during Kiara's presentation and We Are One. They appear again briefly when Rafiki accompanies Kiara and Kovu in Upendi. A bunch of ostriches are seen again during the song One of Us when Simba exiles Kovu, some of them attempting to peck Kovu on the head to drive him out of the Pride Lands. These ostriches look slightly different from the ones seen in the previous film.

The men's shows in Milan ended with four radically different points of view.
The men's shows in Milan ended with four radically different points of view.
The fall 2010 collection from DSquared.
The recent men's shows in Florence, Milan and Paris had no shortage of fashion inspirations (Napoleon, Michael Jackson, Pharaohs, to name a few), but — thanks, perhaps, to good marketing — there was one fashion icon who kept jumping to mind: Brüno, the latest incarnation of the comedian Sacha Baron Cohen
Our favorites ranged from three-dimensional objects (a bottle, an agate stone, a Gilligan hat) to creative works on paper (an accordion-fold number, a black-and-white photo illustration poster).
From the cerebral to the camp (or was it camping?), here is a slide show of the coolest backdrops during the recent men's-wear shows in Milan and Paris.
MILAN — On the final leg of the shows here, a few designers took a refreshing break from tending to the workaday needs of men's wear in favor of more getaway-appropriate wardrobes.
It's time to wrap up Milan Fashion Week with a light last day, beginning with John Varvatos and ending at Tom Ford. And of course, a final party sponsored by Puma and Alexander McQueen with music by Pink is Punk. Drink in all the excitement and celebrate Milan with instant updates from our men's fashion director Bruce Pask via our Twitter. Next stop on the fashion road: Paris!
The buzz from Milan's Salone del Mobile is so infectious last week that it burrowed its way into even the most sacrosanct of luxury fashion windows. Here's a peek at the brands with the most dazzling design vitrines.
Max Mara (above) has a whopping 2,000 stores worldwide, but its Milan flagship is the first and only to feature The Basement, an underground space that sells high-end objects. Curated by the city's feisty design doyenne, Rossana Orlandi, The Basement features work by Gaetano Pesce, Gio Ponti and Patricia Urquiola. Urquiola was commissioned to design the store windows in tribute to this year's Salone: the woven objects and chairs are all hers, while the Ape "truck" is 100 percent Italian design: it's the nation's beloved, three-wheeled answer to the U-Haul.
Among the most revealing aspects of Britney Spears' latest reinvention are her barely-there stage get-ups — and I'm not talking about her lack of pants.
Paris fashion week is picking up steam, but somehow the final reviews from Milan are just arriving today (ahem, Cathy). So, prepare for a flashback. This morning, Scorecard extracted choice sound bites on Alberta Ferretti, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Antonio Marras, Aquilano.Rimondi, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Dsquared, Etro, Fendi, Gucci, Marni, Max Mara, Moschino, Pollini, Prada, Pucci, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo and Versace. Dolce & Gabbana's bulbous shoulders failed to square the circle, while in the anti-luxury luxury category, Miuccia Prada was hailed for her witty take on refinement. Want more critic talk?

Pixite, the makers of the Top Rated Paid Picasa App with over 400,000 downloads, announced today the release of Up (v.1.3) for iPhone, the easiest way to sync Camera Roll photos to Picasa and Google+. Unlike the Google+ app, which requires users to open the app to start uploads, users only have to run Up once and it continuously syncs new photos in the background. As a bonus, users can create new albums in their Picasa/Google+ account and manually upload photos and videos to any album.
Features include:
* Background Syncing - Set up your home or office as an Auto Uploads Hotspot. Whenever you enter the Hotspot, Up checks for new photos in your Camera Roll and uploads them to Picasa and Google+.
* Multiple Upload Hotspots - Set up as many as ten Upload Hotspots. The more you have, the more frequently Up checks for recently added Camera Roll photos.
* Full Resolution Photos - Choose upload image sizes from full resolution, 800 pixels, 1024 pixels, 1600 pixels, or 2048 pixels. Videos load in full resolution (videos upload only in manual mode).
* Manual Uploads - Sometimes you want the flexibility to upload photos and videos to a specific online albums.
* No Duplicates - Up knows which files it's uploaded so even if you've deleted photos online, Up won't automatically upload them again. If you're manually uploading files, previously uploaded files get marked so you don't upload duplicates.
* Only Essential Notifications - Up lets you know when you've uploaded photos, but won't annoy you with unnecessary alerts.
* Energy Efficient - Up's Auto Uploads barely uses any power while it's in the background and waiting for new photos to appear in your Camera Roll. You won't even notice Up is running until your photos are synced.
* iPad Support - No need to connect your point-and-shoot or DSLR camera to your computer. Connect your camera to your iPad using the Camera Connection Kit and use Up to keep your photos synced to Picasa.
Up for Picasa/Google+ 1.3 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category.

Clean Harbors – Gold Sponsors!!!

Team Rachel at GOG
Team Rachel is safely in Colorado Springs Colorado and had the pleasure of visiting Garden of the Gods yesterday! Today we've been hiding out because of the record temperatures (Rachel and the clan don't do well in the heat).Read More
The First Post
I've stayed up until nearly 2am to put this blog together and make it look good enough to put Rachel's name on it. It's kind of hard for me to stay on top of everything when the children are awake, especially when Rach is home.
Not everyone who will read this knows about us so I'll quickly explain that we are a family of 6 that lives in the Boston suburbs with 4 great kids. Rachel is 10 and has (suffers from (I hate that term)) Juvenile Batten Disease which is very rare and you can either read more about it here or go directly to www.bdsra.org and the Batten Disease Support & Research Association will be able to educate you better than I can. Our other children are Julie (6), London (5) and Boston (4) and they are truly the best kids (wish the food bill were a little cheaper but other than that… lol).
In the last year I (Rachel's Mom) have been working on getting Rachel's educational and medical needs met and more recently have done some fund-raising work. We hosted a Lemonade stand on the fourth of July, had a table at Endless Summer and have started selling candles at Batten Candles. The next major fund-raiser we are working on is a 5k Race / Walk in our beautiful seaside Hull, Massachusetts town (May 2011).
If you have any fund-raising ideas for Batten Disease Research, please contact us (and thank you)!Read More

The Otago Museum yesterday installed an illustrated
information panel highlighting the major contribution which
the former long-serving museum director Dr H.D. Skinner made
to the museum.
More people from Canterbury have been visiting the Otago
Museum since the February 22 earthquake in Christchurch,
museum organisers say.
Against a background of tensions between the Dunedin City
Council and the Otago Museum over funding issues, museum
trust board chairman Graham Crombie is urging the council to
boost funding in the longer term.
There was no frippery about the feathers in a rare

programme for school pupils throughout Otago, despite a
recent reduction in Ministry of Education funding.
This weekend more than 200 Maori cultural treasures will be

finally closes, after five years on the road.
Stilt walkers Daniel Gordon (fawn), and Miguel Nitis (robot),

Any issues involving Otago Museum chief executive Shimrath
Paul's reporting to the Otago Museum Trust Board are
ultimately matters for the board to consider, Dunedin Mayor
Dave Cull says.
A confidential Dunedin City Council report has questioned the
nature of Otago Museum chief executive Shimrath Paul's
reporting to his board and raised the "wider issue" of the
relationship between the council and museum.
Tense final preparations are being made at the Otago Museum
for the opening today of "Otago's Ocean", a display exploring
stories of ocean life, from tidal zones to the deep sea.

2002 Acura TL-S / Automobile Transmission Problem
November 8, 2005
To whom it may concerns, I currently have the 2002 Acura TL-S. Acura announced that there is a recall on my car. Feburary, I went into Valley Stream Acura for 60,000 miles major services. The claimed that they fixed all the recalls, which including upgrade to the transmission system to avoid the problem. In March, I started to have the problem with the car. The car is not smoothly shifting gears, especially around 60 to 40 mph. I brought that down to the Valley Stream Acura for the check up. They told me that the problem is not obvious yet, and suggest me to drive that on the manual shift and keep beating on the second gear. After that, I went to Paragon Arcura located in Northern Blvd, Queens, to confirm the result from the Valley Stream Acura. The Paragon service is even worst, they told me that I have to perform certain tune up or have to pay the labor cost in order to check it for me; however, I still left the car there for check up and they said that they will call me when the car is ready. They had never called me, instead, I called them at 11:45am, 1:30pm, 2:15pm, 5:00pm to try to find out the status of my car. At 5:45pm, the last call that I made, they told me that they cannot see the problem and I still have 35000 miles more before the warranty is over, and suggest me to just drive it and told me to pickup the car at 7:00pm. I got to the shop at 6:45pm, all the service people are gone and they locked my car. It caused me many of incovinence and I had to went back the next day and claimed back my car. In Sept, I cannot stand with my car's problem anymore, I decided to try another dealer, so I went to Curry Acura at Scaresdale. I have them to fix my door module, SRS module, the rear passeger seat clip, and check on my transmission. They fixed everything for me except to check my transmission problem. They said that Valley Stream caused the transmission oil leak while I have them to do the service tune-up. They will not perform any checking unless there is nothing wrong. As a result, I got sent home again with the transmission problem still. I called the Acura Relations department, and explained to them the issue. They suggest me to try three other dealers in my area before I call them again. They told me to go to the Manhattan, Rolysn, Brooklyn dealers for this problem. If they respond me the same result, then I can call them again. All I want is just to fix my transmission problem, but it looks like I am being ignored for the Acura. Can you please provide me the advise of what should I do next? Thank you very much! Sincerely,
Derek Click this link to e-mail the message author: COMPLAINTS.COM_FORM_MAIL_50872#

Ok...how do you cut and paste from the modem log screen?!?!
How I did it (probably over-complicated!!):On the screen, hit ALT-PrintScreen (saves just the active window to the clipboard instead of the whole screen)Go to Paint (start/all programs/Accessories) and hit ALT-V (or Edit/Paste) to pasteClick the Select tool (upper-right of the tools box on the left), then box the upstream section.Go to Edit/Copy To... and save the file somewhere.Start your post and put in some text, click Preview/Attach. On the preview screen, select the Browse button and go to your file, then click upload.
I split this out of the stickied topic where it was originally posted.
I use a third party app called SnagIt. Windows 7 Professional, I notice, has a built in app called Snipping Tool which can work for this.--Join Team Helix * I am praying for these friends .
Huh... I remember that on Vista, but never knew what it was for! Learn something new every day....
Snipping Tool doesn't have the capabilities of SnagIt or some other apps, but it would easily do for the function in question here. It is easy to use, IMO.--Join Team Helix * I am praying for these friends .
I use screen grab pro,prob. doesn't have all the bells and whistles as others but it allows me to crop and or just grab a portion of the screen i am currently viewing.
Umm Yeah... I hate to tell you that you dont use alt at all!!!First your hit the printscreen button on keyboard on the page you want to copy.Second open paint and press cntrl v or hit the past buttonThird crop itForth save it.Thats it»www.youtube.com/embed/WzhQQ5pHeIM
1 recommendation
As andyross noted:The "Alt" function still has a purpose. If you press "PrintScr", you will take a snapshot of the entire screen. Now, lets say you have multiple windows up on your screen. If you press "Alt/PrintScr", you will only take a snapshot of the active window.
Vista and Windows 7 have Snipping Tool built in under accessories.Works great.

Please look up standard definitions of the word. You are calling
"hackers" either governmental/industrial/corporate spies, or common
criminals, or petty law offenders that use, between all, computer
technology, or computer professionals that specialize in security.
Please leave mass-media drivel out of a professional list.
For the good explanation of what computer hacking stands for and
what it _does_not_, please head to excellent information from such
fine magazines as "2600", "Blacklisted 411", "Phrack Magazine" and
_even_ CSO (Chief Security Officer) Magazine. Sourceforge.net is
mandatory, too.

More details
This care product is made of an original combination of ingredients for triple action on hyaluronic acid: Anti-hyaluronidase action: Centaurea extract inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that gradually breaks down hyaluronic acid, an essential compound in the dermis.
Anti-free-radical action: an anti-oxidative complex protects hyaluronic acid from oxidation and the harmful effects of free radicals, caused mainly by UV rays and pollution. Plumping action: an active ingredient derived from sugar restores the skin's elasticity and suppleness by stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid and elastin.
Item details
- The skin is better protected, more radiant, smooth and plumped
