A woman went to doctors office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was, and she explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?" The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard. "Cured her hiccups though, didn't it?"

One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail, and he tripped over a large snake and fell, KerPlop!, right on his twitchy little nose. "Oh, please excuse me!" said the bunny. "I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see."
"That's perfectly all right," replied the snake. "To be sure, it was my fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?"
"Well, I really don't know," said the bunny. "I'm blind, and I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out."
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, "Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose... You must be a bunny rabbit!"
Then he said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, what kind of animal are you?"
And the snake replied that he didn't know, and the bunny agreed to examine him, and when he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"
So the bunny felt the snake all over, and he replied, "You're hard, you're cold, you're slimy and you haven't got any *****... You must be a lawyer."

Blonde Update:
Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking........and one blonde says to the other,
"Which do you think is farther away..........Florida or the moon?" The other blonde turns and says
"Helloooooooooo!!! can you see Florida.......?????"
Car Trouble
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a
few minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, "What's the story?"
He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor"
She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"
Speeding Ticket
A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he could see her license.
She replied in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away
my license and then today you expect me to show it to you!"
River Walk
There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank.
"Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"
The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You ARE on the other side."
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway.
Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting!
Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down his window,
turned on his bullhorn and yelled , "PULL OVER!"
"NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"
Blonde on the Sun
A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!"
The American said, "We were the first on the moon!" The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!"
The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads.
"You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian.
To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"
In a Vacuum
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature.
Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were.
The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.
Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"
"HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blond. "They're watch dogs."

Redneck Vasectomy:
After having their 11th child, a Redneck couple decided that was
enough because they could not afford a larger bed.
So the husband went to his veterinarian and told him that he and his
cousin didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive.
A less costly alternative, said the doctor, is to go home, get a
cherry bomb, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your
ear and count to 10.
The Redneck said to the doctor, I may not be the sharpest tool in the
shed, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my
ear is going to help me.
Trust me, said the doctor.
So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He
held the can up to his ear and began to count:
1 -
2 -
3 -
4 -
..at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs,
and resumed counting on his other hand.
This procedure works in Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, West Virginia, and some parts of

Gramma's birth control pills............
The doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most
of her life, finally retired.
At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of
all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew
wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.
"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!?"
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these
that could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I
know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of
orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks...
And believe me, it helps me sleep at night.

A man, his wife, and mother-in-law went on vacation to Jerusalem.
While they were there the mother-in-law passed away.
The undertaker told them, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150. The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your mother-in-law home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?
The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

Dear Tide:
I'm writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all through my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties, I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to berate me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck.
One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with a lot of his blood on my white blouse. I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent, but it just wouldn't come out. After a quick trip to the supermarket, I purchased a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative. Then my attorney called and said that I would no longer be considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect!
I thank you, again, for having such a great product.
Well, gotta go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty bag people.

Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block 3 of the accident report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had some bricks left over which, when weighed later were found to be slightly in excess of 500 lbs.
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the bricks.
You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form that I weigh 175 lbs.
Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel, which was now proceeding downward at an equal, impressive speed. This explained the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collar bone, as listed in section 3 of the accident report form.
Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of beginning to experience a great deal of pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, that barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight.
As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.
Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.
I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its journey back down onto me. This explains the two broken legs.
I hope this answers your inquiry."

17. You don't think Ted Kennedy has an accent.
18. You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-n-knife show.

31. You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you.
32. You can do your laundry without quarters.
33. None of your fur coats are homemade.

A young blonde woman decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs in action. As it gallops along at a steady and rythmic pace, the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horses mane, but cannot get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horses neck, but slides down the side of the horse anyway! The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its' slipping rider. Finally, losing her frail grip, the blond attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot becomes entangled in the stirrup, and she is now at the mercy of the horse's puonding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over and over. AS her head is battered against the ground and she is mere moments away from unconsciousness, to her great fortune, Frank, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her and unplugs the horse.

We're seeing increasing demand for pharma marketing solutions to be based on the iPad, and it's not hard to see why. The pace at which the industry continues its move away from paper-based detail aids seems to be increasing. But what's interesting is that remote 'self-service' edetailing does not seem to be growing at the same rate. The predicted disintermediation of the traditional field sales model hasn't happened.

Almost irrespective of the country you live in, the increasing costs of healthcare are unavoidable. For governments, the stresses are particularly acute, as both aging populations and the increasing cost of treatments add financial pressures year on year. Yet as a new study by the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) confirms, we should not underestimate the extent to which the shape of the state has already changed.

In the spirit of low cost, all the wood work used is recycled. The main expense apart from the raspberry pi itself is for the 24 inch LCD screen in the middle and the arcade joysticks and buttons.
To be child friendly the corners are rounded and perspex is mounted over the LCD screen.
Step 1: Select Your Parts
I went with a 24inch LCD screen with LED backlight. Select any size screen you wish.
Make sure it has good viewing angles as the screen will be mounted upwards and almost always viewed at an angle. Test out the screen viewed from above and below, from the left and right and make sure it still looks almost as good as when viewed straight on.
Select one that can be wall mounted as it can then be attached to the table from underneath.
Select one that turns on without needing any buttons to be pressed as all the buttons with be hidden inside the table.
The Joystick and Button
This is up to you, I went with a Happ 4 or 8 way arcade ball top joystick, 2 blue American style buttons, 1 player and 2 player buttons.
Perspex sheet 4mm
Cut to the size of the outside edge of the LCD screen, larger than the viewing size of the screen as it will be screwed onto the underside of the top of the table.
Wood, glue, screws, stain and finish
This is all up to what you want to do. I used pine that I recycled from various places. Hot Hide Glue because I wanted to learn about using it. Using screws rather than glue or screws and common wood glue would have been easier.
I used a black stain and then a shellac french polish.
I recycled a nice 5inch speaker for the sound and used the circuit from an old set of computer speakers. This gave to ability to plug in headphones and automatically turn off the speaker.
I am B.E student i would like to do a project "Restaurant table with
embedded menu card" using touch screen. will you help me. i would like
to know the components and the basic idea for my project.
How'd you program the Pi?
Nice. Although what are you using the P2 button for? maybe install retropi?
Would it be easy to add a second joystick and buttons on the horizontal plane to be able to play the games that are not displayed in portrait mode ?
Here is also an alternative to the I-PAC which
is the PC (MAME) / PS3 to Arcade Controller
USB Interface PCB Kit. This controller does work with the Pi too! Also the Arcade
controller PCB is not an keyboard emulator and will not interfere with not
computer keyboard inputs/operations.
I ask this as a complete Pi/arcade controller noob... Can you give more insight on how to pair this with the Pi? Could it possibly be as easy as connect the pins and go? Hoping you can point me in the right direction...
Many Thanks!!!
I picked up an old wooden coffee table from TradMe (NZ version of eBay) to convert, for only $16 -- which was much better value to making my own table (and much better quality than my woodworking skills, too). No images to post as yet as its still incomplete.
If any people want a 2G SD image for the Pi holding everything necessary (MAME, menu system, ROMs...) then drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
I'm interested in using the i-pac as well. Did you get your project sorted out and gaming? Do you have an FTP or torrent for the Pi image file?
Id love to see this with double joysticks and buttons to play 2 players, like in the real arcades. Play mortal combat or contra with a friend.
Great instructable. Easy to understand
can you please upload a few more pics of this project to get a better idea, seems quite interesting
this please
I'd advise anyone building this to place the buttons closer together. That is way too much space.
Imagine this with an touch screen display. You can possibly turn this into a Stark like project in which you have a touch screen controll display.
Yeah, that would be great. Currently i am playing with this project: http://tech-diggers.com/raspberry-pi-projects-host...
I was trying to use Raspberry pi as a test server for my wordpress installs, the results were acceptable.
Imagine this with an touch screen display. You can possibly turn this into a Stark like project in which you have a touch screen controll display.
I added:
sudo modprobe uinput
sudo python /home/pi/rpi-gpio-jstk.py &
Have you done this in the menu of the screen or in the config.txt file??
(sorry for my bad english:-))

Lady Bucs Win Second Straight, Defeat Western Carolina, 73-59
Monday, February 11, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 11, 2002) -- The East Tennessee State Lady Bucs found their touch from the outside in the second half and pulled away from the Western Carolina Lady Catamounts, winning, 73-59, Monday night from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn. The victory is ETSU head coach Karen Kemp's 100th at the helm of the Lady Bucs. East Tennessee State (10-14, 5-10 Southern Conference) led the game 32-28 after a first half dominated by defense. The Lady Bucs collected six steals in the first half while the Lady Catamounts 14-10, 6-9 SoCon) dominated the boards, outrebounding ETSU 27-19. Lady Buc junior forward Misty Copas (Kingsport, Tenn) had a game-high 10 points at the break while Western Carolina was led by senior center Laura Echols, who had seven points. Western Carolina began the second half on a 9-3 run, taking a 39-35 lead after a layup by Marsh McGillivary with 14:24 remaining in the game. The two teams would trade the lead seven times during the middle of the second half before the Lady Bucs would go on a 22-7 run over the last 6:42 of the game that began with the Lady Catamounts in the lead, 52-51. The game-deciding run was sparked by ETSU junior guard Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) who began the stretch with two consecutive three-pointers. The Lady Bucs were on fire from behind the arc in the second half, hitting on 6-10 from long range in the second stanza, including four in the last eight minutes of the game. ETSU also did a better job on the boards in the second half, outrebounding Western Carolina 24-18. ETSU was led by Copas, who had a game-high 14 points on 4-7 from the floor and 6-8 from the free-throw line. Verdell and senior guard Erin Thurman (Hixson, Tenn.) each had 13 points, and Thurman added a game-high seven assists. Sophomore forward Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) contributed 10 points and had a game-high four steals. Freshman guard Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W. Va.) played key minutes in the second half and scored eight points, including a three-pointer with 51 seconds remaining that sealed the win. "This is the best game that Ashley (Reed) has played recently," said Kemp. "She played good defense and did a great job pushing the ball up the floor and running the team for us." Western Carolina was led by Echols, who had 13 points and added nine rebounds. Forward Janetta Heggins played well, pulling down a game-high 13 rebounds while scoring eight points and dishing out a team-high four assists. McGillivary also scored in double-digits for the Lady Catamounts, tallying 11 points on the evening. "I am proud of our girls," said Kemp. "We pushed the ball and really executed our game plan. We kept our composure, worked hard, and good things happened for us." The Lady Bucs return to action with a trip to Southern Conference leader UNC Greensboro Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Western Carolina continues on the road, traveling to College of Charleston Saturday night at 7 p.m.

Related story: Montgomery's 'proven' system in question
A teacher evaluation system that took Montgomery schools more than a decade to perfect took the state schools superintendent four sentences last week to shut down.
Maryland Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery told Montgomery Superintendent Joshua P. Starr in a Jan. 30 letter that the district's newest plan for evaluating its nearly 12,000 teachers still is not acceptable under new laws.
In turn, Montgomery may end up having to do what it has tried to avoid, and rate teachers' performance on their students' test scores.
Montgomery school system and school union officials will try to find out where they went wrong, and continue to try to maintain the integrity of what they call a proven national model for educator evaluations, said Doug Prouty, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, the county's teachers union.
If Montgomery chooses not to comply with the state, the state could withhold aid, Starr could be put in jail, or there could be other consequences, Prouty said.
Starr said Monday he knows he has to follow state law, but until Montgomery knows why its plan was rejected, he is not able to make any determination on how to move forward.
"Once the state has provided written feedback, then we will make a decision," Starr said.
Lowery said that next year the school system will have to use the new Maryland State Department of Education evaluation model, which bases half of teachers' evaluations on their students' growth. In some cases students' state test scores could count for 20 percent or more of that measure.
Montgomery tried to avoid this by not signing on to a federal reform program, Race to the Top. Montgomery gives administrators the option of using state test scores in evaluations.
The scores do not give an overall picture of student learning, and don't provide an opportunity to judge growth, Prouty said.
Montgomery's proposal outlined how student data would be used more consistently in teacher's evaluations, but it did not assign a percentage to the measure or require evaluators to use state test scores.
Districts need to show that they are aligned with other new models across the state and the nation — most of which are coming in with about 20 percent based on test scores, said David Volrath, who leads the teacher/principal evaluation team for the state.
"If they won't tie the performance of the teacher back to the performance of the kids, it won't satisfy requirements of the act," Volrath said.
Race to the Top is meant to improve teacher effectiveness, in order to boost student success, he said.
But Montgomery knows what it is doing, Starr and Prouty say; just look at the data.
Montgomery has the highest graduation rate of all of the 50 largest school systems in the nation, at 87.6 percent, according to the latest data from 2009. Montgomery also is a leader in college readiness exams and Advanced Placement exams. Last year, the percentage of exams taken by Montgomery County students who earned a score of 3 or higher was about 75 percent, compared to 61.4 percent in the state and 57.3 percent in the nation.
"I think the Montgomery County system has proven itself over and over to be a system that uses multiple kinds of student data and gets kids what they need," Starr said.
But the system has struggled to close some achievement gaps between students of different races and backgrounds, and Starr admits work needs be done.
When last year's results on state tests for elementary and middle school students came in, they showed that gaps between students of different races were widening in reading.
The state is right to challenge Montgomery's system, said Kate Walsh, a former member of the Maryland State Board of Education and president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, a nonprofit focused on teacher quality reform.
"Who decided [Montgomery's model] is a national model is one question," said Walsh, of Baltimore. "And, two, why are folks so afraid of being accountable for what students learn?"
The relationship between the state and the county has been tense for years, Walsh said.
"It's not surprising that a district with a long history of top performance would feel at times that the state, in its history, has forced it to compromise its standards," Walsh said. "... If you think you are doing a really great job and people who are technically over and above you tell you what to do, you are going to get irritated."
Prouty said Friday he does not know how much hope he has when it comes to convincing the state to let Montgomery's model stand.
Although Montgomery did not sign on to Race to the Top, it still has to comply with other requirements for the evaluations under the state's Education Reform Act of 2010 and under the state's waiver for the federal No Child Left Behind.
Under Race to the Top, Montgomery would have received $12 million. Now, the system may be faced with making some of the same changes the program called for without any funds to help.
Lowery said in a separate statement Friday that systems can resubmit their plans in May, meaning that Montgomery may have another chance at compromise.
"Our systems are working very hard to develop fair and meaningful evaluation programs, putting student work at the very heart of how they review educators," Lowery wrote.

Rumsfeld's 'Humane' Doesn't Cut It
Scott Horton
Vice President Cheney and his dwindling number of GOP floor lieutenants continue to demonstrate amazing industry in their efforts to block the McCain Amendment. Today's effort focuses on a new Department of Defense Directive No. 3115.09, dated November 3, 2005 and issued by Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England. House Armed Services Committee Chair Duncan Hunter and others are busily pointing to this Directive and arguing that it resolves the worries that motivated McCain, Warner and Graham. With this Directive, Hunter argues, the concerns about detainee mistreatment are addressed, and the need for the McCain Amendment is eliminated.
No torture. Sounds good. While torture should not be allowed, what about coercive force in interrogation, what about psycological interrogations? Are they allowed. If so, what specifically?
I agree the McCain Amendment should apply to the DoD. Cheney and Rumsfeld blew having any trust placed in them after Gitmo and Abu Ghraib. But we need a more agressive standard for the CIA that is not torture. These standards can be defined. Put sunset provisions on it, allow Congress to monitor what is going on, but putting down blanket standards restricting the CIA has often proven to be counter-productive. I don't trust the CIA, Rumsfeld and Cheney, but I sure as hell fear what al Qaeda is up to. You should too.
McCain argued on Fox News Sunday on November 7, 2005 that the Israelis have good interrogation standards. Even though the Israeli Supreme Court banned torture in 1999--guess what, the Israelis use coercive force today in interrogations. The difference is the Israelis have trained professionals doing it: three years of training, fluent in Arabic, they don't engage in sexual or religious humiliation, and they sure as hell don't delegate interrogations to any Lyndie England types. It is serious business that needs to be professionally done.
Pass the McCain Amendment for the DoD and come up with rational sane limits on the CIA.
Unclear how the CIA has not warrant less trust than the military here -- because we were stonewalled more respecting them so we know less about them?
That's weird. Furthermore, if anything, shouldn't we trust military interrogators more since military training includes certain ethics the CIA might not have? This includes the use of mercenary questioners (as noted in the text) and/or "renditions" to other nations known to torture.
Again, the record there doesn't warrant our trust either. Sure, we should fear our enemies ... we should fear crossing the line as well. In fact, as we have seen, crossing the line often is counterproductive.
Ironic, huh?
P.S. see here
Thanks to Scott for his excellent analysis. One thing that I would add is that neither a DOD Directive nor a presidential order can exempt the CIA (or for that matter the Secretary of Defense or the President) from liability under international law for war crimes, which include grave violations of the Geneva Conventions and other treaties for such things as forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and unlawful deportations, not to mention torture in any guise.
Apart from this, I would like to note my personal bugbear, which is perhaps important, perhaps not, that if the Administration wants to call all al Qaida terrorists enemy combatants subject to "the laws of war" and not to criminal justice (per Bush's Military Order of 11/13/01 or his subsequent orderless enemy combatant designations), what justifies these persons being exempted from the DoD Directive?
In other words, are they or are they not combatants? Get your story straight. If they are combatants (and shouldn't there be a determination of this by a competent tribunal first?), what possible reason can you give for detaining them by a civilian agency and not by the DoD?
But in any event, none of these combatants can be considered exempt from protection under international law any more than we can justify or excuse violations of the LOAC on our part because our enemies didn't follow the rules.
You take pleasure in the most twisted things...
keep it up :)

Remember the days when a glance at a paper résumé was all a recruiter needed to decide whether you were getting an interview? Today, social media have us connecting, networking and promoting ourselves in an instant, allowing prospective employers to do the once-over even quicker.
See also: 15 ways to improve your Linkedin profile
And that's a good — and bad — thing, too.
It's good because employers understand the power of social media to advance their businesses. If you're an active participant online, it's all the better to show how connected to the times you are. You can use these digital platforms to highlight your personality and qualifications to show what you could bring to a workplace.
But, as becomes clearer by the day, what you put out there can come back to bite you. Employers can use social media platforms to learn things about you that you'd rather they didn't know.
So if you're on the market for a new gig, your first task is to type your name in quotes into a search engine and see what pops up. If you get a photo, video or anything else that you wouldn't want a prospective employer to see, get to work on removing it from wherever it's posted.
Then focus on figuring out how to use social media in a positive way to lead you to your next opportunity. Here's a guide to the three most popular sites Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter — as well as tips for creating your own personal place online.
With 900 million users, Facebook is the shining star of social media. And boomers account for a growing number of its fans, using it to maintain connections with friends and family members. But being careless with the information you share on your personal profile could push your résumé to the bottom of the pile.
"At the end of the day, your profile is your life and it should be as public or private as you want," says Beth Carpenter, social communications and strategy manager at AARP. "But realize that once you put something out there to the public, it's out."

The Sounds of Silence: Tim Thompson's latest montage for Montreal's last game
We all watch those beautiful Hockey Night in Canada intros and we think, "Who does those?" Perhaps it's just a group of videographic interns, stuck to their chairs for a tense 24 hours before every Saturday's Leafs game, cobbling them together while they somehow still find famous, classic songs we all know but they haven't used yet.
Turns out, it's one guy. A mad genius by the name of Tim Thompson, an indie filmmaker and the CBC's designated montage and features maker.
And last night, he did it again... epically scored by Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence'.
Habs fans may be in mourning today, but Thompson's pre-Game 6 hair-raiser gives them a permanent well to return to, to remember Rene Bourque's hat trick and Dustin Tokarski's freshman heroics. (*See the rest of Thompson's work on his Vimeo channel, HockeyFilms.)
Montreal may not have won, but they'll always have Game 5.
Just like Canucks fans will always have Adele and this:

The St. Kitts and Nevis team described sprinter Kim Collins as a "national hero" even as the team was expelling him on Saturday for missing training sessions. Responding to the punishment, Collins, the world champion back in 2003, said he was kicked off the team for leaving the Olympic Village to visit his wife, and fire off the following histrionic tweet to prove it:
Even men in prison get their wives to visit.
— kim collins (@kimcollins100m) August 4, 2012
Collins won silver in the 100m dash during the 2011 Pan American Games, which he had then suggested could be his final appearance representing St. Kitts and Nevis. He had been scheduled to start in the 100m heats on Saturday, as well as the 200m and the 4x100 relay, and participation in yesterday's events would have marked Collins' fifth straight Olympic appearance. His wife, however, arrive in London on Wednesday, offering Collins the opportunity to leave what he found to be the oppressive atmosphere in the Olympic Village. He also said that, since his wife had helped coach him, it would probably have been best to get her input before competing. Late Saturday, Collins squared his priorities with his admiring public:
im a married man, this means that i signed the ultimate contract to forsake allothers for my wife. plain and simple..
— kim collins (@kimcollins100m) August 4, 2012
Collins is the second St. Kitts and Nevis athlete to be disciplined — sprinter Tameka Williams was sent home last weekend after testing positive for a banned substance.

Here's how to make orange pomanders, which will fresh your closets and home—and also make a lovely holiday ornament for friends, family, and work colleagues.
Medieval herbalists used pomanders -- mixtures of fragrant, dried herbs in cloth bags or perforated boxes -- to ward off illness or bring strength and good fortune.
- To make pomanders to freshen a winter-weary house, take firm oranges and stud them with whole cloves.
- Be creative and arrange the cloves in diamond, circular, or other patterns. As the orange dries, it will release a delicate, spicy fragrance.
- For a stronger aroma, cover the entire orange with cloves, and then roll in a mixture of spices: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon allspice, 1/4 cup powdered orrisroot. Leave the orange in the mix for a week, turning once a day.
- To hang your pomander, thread a large needle with string and run it through the orange; make a knot at the bottom and a loop at the top.
- Or, you can tie red ribbon around your pomander for a festive look!

Stone E Motion Draws Outside in Red Cell Distance Championship
November 16, 2010
Stone E Motion, winner of five of six starts at 870 yards, will break from the outside 8 post in Friday's $125,000 Red Cell Distance Championship (G1) at Fair Grounds Race Course as the 2-1 morning-line favorite for the 870-yard race around the turn on the track's one-mile oval. The Distance Championship, which is for 3-year-olds and older horses, is part of the 18th Bank of America Racing Challenge Championships, the season-ending championship event of AQHA's purse and bonus awards program.
"I'm not really that upset," said Bill Harris, who trains Stone E Motion for his wife, Lori. "The 8 hole is not ideal, but here with the lane being so long and the turn coming up so quickly, I was actually hoping for about the 6 so I guess I can live with the 8. It's a big long lane."
On November 16, post positions for the Challenge Championships were drawn during a brunch at the track. The Distance Championship starters, in post position order with their jockeys and morning-line odds, are:
Bad Act, Stormy Smith, 10-1
Ride Em Cowboys, Jesus Salazar, 10-1
De Passem Okey, G.R. Carter Jr., 3-1
Bonified Man, David Pinon, 12-1
Apollo Rocks, John Hamilton, 12-1
Sheet Burns, Martin Bourdieu, 5-2
Mountain Man, Esgar Ramirez, 12-1
Stone E Motion, William Ives, 2-1
The Distance Challenge Championship is sponsored by Red Cell, a high-potency vitamin and mineral-enriched formula. The stakes is the eighth of 13 races at Fair Grounds with an approximate post time of 8:02 p.m. Central time.
The Bank of America Challenge Championships will be featured for the first time on Horse Racing TV and available to the channel's 17 million subscribers, as well as free to view on AQHA's
Q-Racing Video
. During the "free weekend," nonsubscribers will be asked for a valid e-mail address to access the site. Q-Racing Video will be free and open to the world from 8 a.m. Friday, November 19, through the evening of Sunday, November 21. BY AMY OWENS

Developers and environmentalists butted heads Tuesday night in an ongoing battle to win support from the county Planning Board for their respective agendas in the growing Clarksburg/Boyds area.
More than 30 people spoke for or against development projects during the four-hour hearing in Silver Spring.
At issue is how much development to allow in the Ten Mile Creek watershed, which covers parts of Boyds and Clarksburg, and balancing the needs of a growing population there with the needs of an environmentally protected watershed.
The watershed, most of which is west of Interstate 270, drains into Little Seneca Lake, an emergency drinking water reservoir for the Washington, D.C., region.
Not everyone who signed up had a chance to speak during the public hearing, so the board said it would hear those people at its next meeting, scheduled for Thursday.
The Planning Board will hold several work sessions before making its recommendations to the County Council for a final decision on how much development to allow in the final Phase 4 stage of Clarksburg development.
The board is considering whether large Phase 4 residential and commercial projects proposed by Pulte Homes west of I-270 and The Peterson Companies east of I-270 pose a threat to the relatively clean Ten Mile Creek watershed.
The county planning staff has recommended cutting the Pulte Homes project from 900 homes to 215 as a way of limiting runoff of sediment and pollution into sections of Ten Mile Creek.
Pulte is challenging the recommendation by presenting opinions from three consultants of its own who argue that the county's analysis is "seriously deficient."
Pulte also questions the fairness of limiting its project to an 8 percent impervious surface cap west of I-270 in the watershed while supporting a 25 percent impervious surface cap for the Peterson Companies' plan for a mixed-use Tanger fashion outlet project east of I-270 in the headwaters of the creek.
"Each property should be treated equally," said Pulte attorney Robert Harris at the hearing. "Robbing Peter to pay Paul is not a legally defensible policy."
Several business owners in the Clarksburg historic district straddling Md. 355 (Frederick Road) said they support the Pulte and Peterson outlet projects because they would bring in more customers to sustain local businesses.
"Without population there won't be investment," said Joe Buffington, whose parents own the Bennigan's restaurant in the historic district.
"Please let Clarksburg grow to its full potential," he said.
Complicating the issue is the fact that the Peterson Tanger outlet plan east of I-270 is competing with a plan by Streetscape Partners, Adventist Health and Simon Properties for a Premium outlet center on the southwest corner of I-270 and Clarksburg Road (Md. 121).
The Streetscape plan is in the earlier Phase 3 of the Clarksburg build-out and also is in the neighboring Cabin Branch watershed, which is not as environmentally sensitive as the Ten Mile Creek watershed.
"This would provide the long-suffering [Clarksburg] community" with the services they need," said Jennifer Russell, of Rodgers Consulting, speaking in support of the Streetscape plan.
Streetscape Partners and the other developers of the Premium outlet project say they are years ahead of the Peterson Tanger project in the approval process, a claim that Peterson disputes.
Meanwhile, environmentalist groups and some local residents challenge developers' claims that environmental site design measures would protect the watershed.
Cathy Wiss of the Audubon Naturalist Society in Chevy Chase said supporters of the environmental site design measures assume steady flows of water when in fact there are "wide swings in cubic feet per second" in the Ten Mile Creek watershed.
Allowing development in the relatively clean but fragile watershed could generate irreversible damage, said Diane Cameron, speaking for the Save Ten Mile Creek Coalition.
It is better to prevent pollution and runoff in the Ten Mile Creek watershed than to try to treat it later, she said.
"The draft [planning recommendation] doesn't do enough to protect drinking water," she said about the Little Seneca Lake reservoir.
Steps also must be taken to protect the underlying Piedmont aquifer that supplies water to properties outside the county's public water system, said Beth Daly, of the Sugarloaf Citizens Association in Dickerson.
"Protection [of the watershed] should be the primary goal, not trying to balance that with the interests of developers," she said.
John Menke, a former county councilman, said that a lot of money already has been spent to protect the reservoir, which could be undone by allowing intense development upstream.
"We do risk trashing this investment," he said.
Caroline Taylor of the Montgomery Countryside Alliance, based in Poolesville, presented a petition with 1,000 signatures to the Planning Board on Tuesday favoring protection of the watershed.
"It's a critical regional resource," said Taylor, citing predictions by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River that climate change could cut stream flows by as much as 35 percent by 2040.
Melane Hoffman, who heads the recently formed Livable Clarksburg group, has been advocating for construction of the long-overdue Clarksburg Town Center retail area east of Md. 355, where a grocery store and other retail stores are planned.
"Our quality of life rests with this decision," she said of the competing interests facing the Planning Board. "We want Clarksburg to become whole. There's a potential to do great good but also great harm."
The Tuesday Planning Board hearing may be viewed at www.montgomeryplanningboard.org.

text: Listening to the two outlets the last few days I have been very surprised how positive ESPN has been about the Dolphins. On the other hand NFLN has been quite negative about our signings. I enjoy hearing many perspectives, and find it interesting how different these two have been on their view points. Regardless of your opinion on the signings, you have to admit is has been a fun two days. On a side note, I have never herd Jamie Dukes say one positive thing about the Dolphins in at least 4 years. I have made it a point to find an exception, but there never is one. Does he have some bad history with the team?

You can have both public-key and password authentication on the same server. If public-key authentication fails, it will go to password authentication.
As to requiring both, that's seems silly and counterproductive, and checking
Your ssh private key should have a secure passphrase. So if an attacker obtains your private key, they still can't do anything without first obtaining your passphrase. If they've compromised that passphrase (most likely with a keylogger; or from brute forcing an extremely weak passphrase) they can trivially also grab/brute force any memorized password.
If you really want, you could possibly setup something with say ForceCommand (e.g., only allow public-key authentication and then direct user to a shell that prompts for a password). I don't recommend this.
A better alternative if you want to limit exposure, is to have a firewall setup to limit IPs that can reach the ssh port; possibly with an additional VPN running on a server somewhere if you may need to tunnel from another computer at some point. You could also use something like knockd to open a hole in a firewall after a particular port-knocking pattern, though recognize that anyone eavesdropping on traffic could replay the knocking pattern to open up a port.
I looked into this a little more and came up with the following.
You could use PAM for two factor authenticaion, but in doing so you won't be using SSH keys you will be using a different two factors.
For example, You could use google with their two factor authentication and use pam to authenticate, as described at
