In 2012 a group of researchers collected a large amount of RSA moduli and calculated their greatest common divisor in order to find common factors between them. By finding a common factor they could the divide and completely factorize the key. They concluded that the vulnerable moduli where generated by PRNGs with inadequate randomness. Does it necessarily mean that those key are not random?
If each key was generated by selecting two random primes of the desired length then the chance of two keys with a common prime would be incredibly small. If i'm reading How are primes generated for RSA? correctly there are about 2^502 possible 512 bit primes (prime length is half modulus length, so a 1024 bit RSA key would use 512 bit primes).
Since keys have been found which share a prime and the chance of that happening with randomly selected primes is so incredibly small the only reasonable conclusion is that the primes were not selected randomly.
Pretty much.
The prime numbers for those keys were generated from random number sources with bad entropy. Entropy is really just a human measurement of how unpredictable something is. Entropy sources responsible for the common RSA factors hadn't had enough "random stuff" input to them to get mixed around, so they output data that tended to be the same across many devices.

OP-ED: Hoping for a Positive Outcome From EA's Lawsuit Against Zynga
The curiously-timed lawsuit hits Zynga at a time when it's vulnerable.
Two of the industry's biggest companies are set to square off in court as Electronic Arts has filed a lawsuit alleging that Zynga's Facebook title The Ville has "copied and misappropriated" elements of EA-published Facebook game The Sims Social. Since its initial reveal, The Ville has been summed up by many as Zynga's version of The Sims; whether that is an oversimplification will be a matter for the courts to decide. For now, we get to ponder the implications of two of the most maligned companies in the industry -- Zynga is often derided for copying others' games and failing to innovate, among other things, while EA's business tactics landed it the unofficial distinction of being America's worst company earlier this year -- facing off against each other.
To say Zynga has been having some issues as of late would be an understatement. Its stock has been in decline for most of the year and was subjected to another nosedive just over a week ago; this came on the heels of a poor quarter that resulted in COO John Schappert being replaced as head of game development. And with the company doing so poorly on the stock market, it is now facing a class action lawsuit which alleges executives knew of an impending crash that prompted them to sell in excess of $500 million in stock earlier this year.
That all leads us today, when EA filed its complaint (via Kotaku) with a United States District Court in California. Accompanying this was a message from Lucy Bradshaw, general manager of The Sims developer Maxis. Noting that The Sims Social was released on Facebook in August 2011 and The Ville in June 2012, she claims "the infringement of The Sims Social was unmistakable to those of us at Maxis as well as to players and the industry at large. The similarities go well beyond any superficial resemblance. Zynga's design choices, animations, visual arrangements and character motions and actions have been directly lifted from The Sims Social. The copying was so comprehensive that the two games are, to an uninitiated observer, largely indistinguishable."
She goes on to say, "This is a case of principle," before highlighting the fact that this is not the first time such a claim has been directed at Zynga. Back in January, its iOS game Dream Heights caught flak for allegedly stealing from an existing game, Tiny Tower. It was not just fans and the media, but Tiny Tower developer NimbleBit (a company Zynga attempted but failed to acquire) who called attention to this. Zynga's defense was that Tiny Tower had been inspired by previous titles and was not the originator of the genre, though NimbleBit countered by wondering why certain elements -- the number of business types, how many people can fit in a single apartment or work at one store, etc. -- were identical between the two games.
Going back even further, Zynga's earlier games also attracted allegations of copyright infringement, FarmVille (with Farm Town) and Mafia Wars (with Mob Wars) being two of the most well-known examples. EA's complaint lists many of these alleged copycats, even going so far as to include screenshot comparisons of FarmVille and Farm Town, Tiny Tower and Dream Heights, and Bingo Blitz and Zynga Bingo.
Zynga is no stranger to litigation, although more than once in the past it has been in the position EA now is. It filed a lawsuit against Brazilian social game company Vostu last year for copyright infringement on a number of its games. Then this past May, it filed a complaint over another company releasing a Facebook game called PyramidVille, which it felt was too similar to its own line of "-Ville" games. Zynga does not own a trademark on the word "Ville."
In addition to listing the other allegations of Zynga's copycatting ways, much of EA's complaint was centered around outlining how The Ville cribs from The Sims Social. "The Ville was not an attempt to innovate on a game concept -- it was an intentional effort to copy EA's creative work," it reads in part. "Not only does The Ville blatantly mimic the entire framework and style of gameplay in The Sims Social, but it so closely copies the original, creative expression and unique elements of The Sims Social -- i.e., the animation sequences, visual arrangements, characters' motions and actions, and other unique audio-visual elements -- that the two games are nearly indistinguishable."
The case EA tries to build includes an explanation of Zynga's business practices (including CEO Mark Pincus' infamous 'I don't want innovation' quote), mentions of the EA staff Zynga poached (including Schappert), quotes from the media noting similarities between the two games, a long list of comparisons of the two, and screenshots highlighting the seemingly identical elements in the two games. (Funnily enough, one set of screenshots is actually labeled backwards.) Perhaps the most damning of the comparisons that something from The Sims Social was copied by The Ville are the skin tones; all eight in both games have identical RGB values, which dictate the amount of red, green, and blue used to generate a color. With there being in excess of 16.7 million possible RGB values, it's hard to disagree with the complaint's assertion that "[t]here is an infinitesimally small chance that the use of the same RGB values for skin tone in The Ville as The Sims Social is mere coincidence."
The timing of this lawsuit is sure to raise some eyebrows. Zynga is facing the insider trading class-action lawsuit and struggling to adjust as Facebook policy changes have hurt the popularity of its games. Its high-priced acquisition of OMGPOP has turned out to be less of a success than it hoped with Draw Something's massive popularity proving to have been a flash in the pan. With its future uncertain, today's announcement may have had a small negative impact on Zynga's share price, which currently sits at $2.72 (down from a high of $2.86 today), though it's the long-term effects this lawsuit could have that are more significant.
EA's position toward Zynga has changed recently, first with Peter Moore actually commenting on the company (EA has avoided discussing it publicly in the past) and now with this lawsuit. In most cases like this you would expect a settlement to be reached before it ends up in court, but one has to wonder if EA isn't intent on forcing the issue and fighting this out in court while Zynga is down in the ditch.
Bradshaw's statement on the suit made it sound if part of EA's motivation for engaging in litigation was somewhat altruistic: "Maxis isn't the first studio to claim that Zynga copied its creative product. But we are the studio that has the financial and corporate resources to stand up and do something about it. Infringing a developer's copyright is not an acceptable practice in game development. By calling Zynga out on this illegal practice, we hope to have a secondary effect of protecting the rights of other creative studios who don't have the resources to protect themselves."
Whether you believe it's fighting this case on behalf of others or not, EA is putting itself in a position to benefit from the good will that comes along with targeting a hated entity. While many gamers dislike both companies, the popular opinion among many is that Zynga doesn't make "real games," which can't be said of EA, even if it is often criticized for the way it handles the shutdown of online servers and downloadable content, its use of online passes, its annualization of franchises like Madden, and so on.
This isn't the first time EA has entered litigation (supposedly) on behalf of the industry, either; it did the same in 2009 with Tim Langdell, who was a notorious trademark troll that went after anyone who dared make use of the word "edge."
Unlike that situation, this Zynga case could prove to be a much bigger deal for gamers, and I'm personally happy to see this issue being addressed in such a direct manner. Far too often we see social and mobile games released that mimic an existing game and offer nothing new; that certainly felt like the case with Dream Heights. In that case, Zynga game design chief Brian Reynolds talked about using something more akin to a web model where you get a game up and running and then innovate on it, something this continues to strike me as a poor approach. The baseline for release should not be copying everything your competition does and nothing more.
Whatever the outcome of this lawsuit -- and I fully expect EA to see it through rather than settle -- it will hopefully encourage developers, Zynga included, to be more careful about how they draw their inspiration from other games. Social and mobile games, for whatever reason, seem to lift from each other much more readily and blatantly than in the traditional games space. That's not to say it never happens with standard games, but it usually feels less blatant, and it's usually with good ideas; Insomniac, for instance, would have been wise to abandon the energy system used in all of Zynga's games when developing Outernauts.
Zynga has, thus far, only released a short statement calling the lawsuit "unfortunate" and claiming EA "clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic copyright principles. It's also ironic that EA brings this suit shortly after launching SimCity Social which bears an uncanny resemblance to Zynga's CityVille game." There are certainly similarities between the two, but considering Zynga wrote off NimbleBit's complaints by noting SimTower predated Tiny Tower, it seems as if Zynga's knock on SimCity Social could be dismissed by bringing up the fact that the original SimCity was released in 1989.
If nothing else, any upcoming games from Zynga are sure to receive even more scrutiny than usual; it should be interesting to see if the company puts extra effort in trying to differentiate its upcoming games from any already on the market that it could be accused of copying.

ThoughtsPosted: Aug 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
While I'm on EA's side, you have to admit it's hard to make a game "inspired by the sims" without going down a very similiar path. How would you make it different? If the sims is about creating people and nudging them to make certain decisions throughout their lives how far can you deviate from that formula before the entire concept is lost?
For example, "Adventure Island" from Hudson Soft and "Super Mario bros." from Nintendo are both action platformers with similiar looking protagonists. Should Nintendo have sued Hudson Soft? Likewise should Zelda creators file a law-suit against the Ys games or the makers of Illusion Of Gaia?
I'm not saying Zynga should be entirely off the hook but I am saying it's hard for game designers not to adhere to genre conventions when they're aiming for creating a product of that same pedigree.
(Though yeah, based solely on these screen shots Zynga totally copied EA!)
I hear ya, but.Posted: Aug 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by LordSephiran
I understand what you are saying. However, looking at zynga's history, I don't think that it was like that, I think that their game plan is just copying successful games. Maybe I am wrong, but between the damning similarities (the RGB values on skin colors are the same... really?) and zynga's history, i'm on EA's side all the way.
Oh, dear..Posted: Aug 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by nipsen
Console game giant more interested in litigation, PR and content control control (even over cheap spinoff browser games) than producing quality games. While industry insider favourite for "massive and unlimited growth that will change the industry forever" takes a dive in the asphalt that they won't recover from. Both imploding in the process, and steering themselves out of business together.
How utterly unexpected this development is.
Meanwhile, Microsoft didn't earn money on catering to subscriber only gamers. While Sony didn't make money on making all of their games Call of Duty and Gears clones.
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Good for EA...Posted: Aug 04, 2012 12:00AM PST by Captain_Gonru
they could use one in the "win" column. Reminds me of the South Park where Satan's kid picks on Pip to gain acceptance from the rest of the kids.
Seriously, though, I hope they win. There's a big difference between "inspiration" and "idea theft". One is a game where the character runs, jumps, and gains powerups to progress. The other is a game where a plumber runs and jumps on turtles and bullets, and gains mushrooms and flowers to save a princess, and NO, I've totally never heard of or played every Mario game since Donkey Kong.
Also...Posted: Aug 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by Captain_Gonru
they should take their winnings and make a "General Chaos" update for XBLA.
Ironic...Posted: Aug 04, 2012 12:00AM PST by LordSephiran
I never thought I would read something that would allow me to temporarily put away my hatred for EA. Hopefully they take Zynga down, all they do is copy the ideas of other developers and bully them around with their massive resources.. That being said for EA, 'One good deed does not redeem a man a lifetime of wickedness' ;)
OfcoursePosted: Aug 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by gezegond
I'm with EA. When they chose to publish SimCity, there was no indication that one day a spin-off title would become so successful. EA just chose to publish a rather innovative game; they risked something to get something. EA might be accused for its marketing, but when it comes to publishing and developing games, they're one of the best.
The same can never be said about Zynga.
Hmmm. . .Posted: Aug 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by Pacario
I'm probably on EA's side here, but I wonder: some very good iOS games come from developers that do indeed borrow from other games. Gameloft is the best example; its recent Spider-Man and Batman games are terrific, fairly priced, but also liberally take from similar games--namely, Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum on the 360/PS3. And yet, I enthusiastically endorse these two (Gameloft) titles.
I just fear that, if EA wins, any company that dares make a game even inspired by another title may be vulnerable to litigation, and that would be a travesty.
WellPosted: Aug 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by Shiranui86
theres inspriration and then there's just blatant copying of ideas.
Total CopyPosted: Aug 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by the_chosen
I'm with EA Games on this. The Ville is an identical copy of The Sims Social. I'm not really fan of both games but first time I saw the game on Facebook, I realized that was very similiar to Sims Social. I think Zynga should be more creative next time, instead of copying ideas.
Go EA!Posted: Aug 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by Otaku_Hanzo
I'm rooting for EA on this. Zynga has been leeching off other people's work long enough. I don't care what people feel about EA, but I hope they sock it to Zynga hard.

Is there something I am missing or its just a big bug in the new version ?
Hey polle001,
There was a bug, and I literally just uploaded the fixed code for 1.2. After WordPress.org picks up on the new file version, you should be able to download the new files and replace your old ones with them.
Thanks for the heads up, and I'm sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
- Kevin
Hi Kevin, will it be a 1.2.1 version then ?
Cool, I'll wait for it to appear in the dashboard.
Yep. It'll be 1.2.1 whenever WordPress updates their listing.
Hi Kevin, I just updated to 1.2.1 and the same problem, close is not working anymore.
Any advice in how to fix now before the new release comes out ?
Hey Polle001,
I just downloaded the plugin and tried it with a fresh installation, and I don't get any errors or malfunctions with the close button. Do you happen to have WPSuperCache or a similar caching plugin installed? It may be a conflict with another plugin, although I'm not sure what I've changed that would cause it to suddenly appear. If you don't have a caching plugin installed, delete ninja announcements from your plugins directory and re-upload a fresh copy of 1.2.1
Solved, now its working as before.

I hate you. You made me cry. It takes a lot to make me cry. Therefore, you are amazing. Seriously, this was absolutely astonishing. I laughed, I cried, I rolled my eyes. It was brilliant. You put so much emotion into the parts where it really counts and your battle scenes were thrilling. I absolutely loved your portrayal of all of the characters. This is one of the best stories I have read on this site, and I don't say that lightly, because I've read some wonderful stories. Thank you.
| Guest chapter 19 . 9/5/2012
I loved this whole story chain. Saddened that Anakin died but it seems with almost every story and star wars tale that he was never destined to live a long life. Was wondering though if you would ever do a continuation off of the Dark Side ending chapter. Those would make a interesting story as well.
| Lord Kyp chapter 19 . 11/23/2009
This is the second time I've read your trilogy along with the prequel. This is the second time I've felt completely mesmerized, which says something (maybe nothing meaningful to you but my praise for your writing talent) as I feel I've read it this time around with a more mature mind. You've written a great series.
At times, I felt that the dialogue was contrived and that the memorable quotes from each of the Star Wars movies that you tried to insert didn't necessarily click in the instances where you placed them, but on the whole, they didn't detract from the great experience.
I don't know if you have any plans for the future regarding this arc or any other, or whether you even plan on writing anymore but for what it's worth, I strongly encourage you to continue to hone this talent that you clearly possess.
It's been a pleasurable few days shunting aside my studies in a clear display of time mismanagement, and now that it's come to an end, I can't get enough of your writing. From your other one shots, you clearly keep up with the EU. That's nice to see, and I hope to see some more works, maybe even a novel-length fic sometime in the future!

i know that you wrote this quite a while ago but i felt i needed to congratulate you on such an amazing story. i've never laughed and cried so much at the same time! you managed to create a truelly wonderful sage while sticking very closely to the original. i hope that you decide to write more int he future as i'm sure that you would be just as successful. well done, and may the force be with you.

I've mentioned before that I love your stories; however I was pretty upset when you killed off Anakin. How very sad. Oh by the way, I was just as sad when Obi-Wan died in your second story. Still in war I know that heros have to die.

I must say that I'm a very selfish reader. I don't post... ever, well at least I didn't post until now. I've decided to stop reading fanfiction forever because I don't think I'll ever find one that I can read that will not disappoint me. This trilogy has been everything I've imagined and more... it's certainly the best writing I've seen. It would definately be a pity if this were not published, but I do realize the problems with the Lucas and Co. So, I think it's only rightful for me to post a reply, just to tell you how great it has been, staying up late at night, reading your writing. Your plot flows with such incredible ease and the characters are so alive that I wouldn't be surprised if Threepio turned and called you "the Maker"...Thankyou so much for your time spent in this story. I do believe you'd make a great writer in the future. Thanks and may the Force be with you.

My testing environment for coding is currently a LAMP setup on an internal server running Linux Gnome. We've recently gained 2 or so sites to do maintenance for that were written in ASP. I'm now aware I don't have a testing environment for ASP and as I know so little about what I need to do, is it possible to run ASP on a linux machine (much like you can use WAMP to run PHP on windows)?
Check out Apache-ASP: http://www.apache-asp.org/ It's a port of ASP to an Apache module

Two of our best model the GFS and ECMWF are showing respectable development in the Eastern Atlantic. The Wave right now is located near 7E as indicated by the cimss 850mb vorticity product, satellite low level winds, and 700hpa curvature vorticity plots from SUNY Albany. A wave currently located near 10W is projected to move northwest and clear out the SAL and increase the instability in the region for our wave to go ahead and develop. The forerunning wave is very high in amplitude as indicated by the TCWV GFS 12z analysis. Upper level conditions are exspected to be conducive for development.

The first escapade occurred on Christmas Eve, when the only
creature stirring on Rattray St, in Dunedin, was a juvenile
male kunekune named Seamus.
Constable Ben West spotted the pig being looked after by some
teenagers, who had helped him across the busy road and on to
the Arthur St Reserve just after 1pm on Monday.
As the pig was content to chomp and root up grass, Dunedin
City Council animal control officers were contacted to
collect the seemingly tame animal while police officers
secured him.
''He definitely resisted arrest,'' Senior Constable Trevor
Buchanan told the Otago Daily Times at the scene.
He later added Seamus could have also faced charges of
assaulting a police officer, after he kicked out at Senior
Constable Kath Goodman. Other offences included ripping up
the park's grass and defecating in public.
The trio - assisted by Constable Lachlan McDonald - lifted
Seamus into the back of the animal control van, despite
squeals of protest from the alleged offender.
''Given it's Christmas, we have decided to take a lenient
view on the pig,'' Senior Sergeant Steve Aitken said.
Seamus' owners came and collected him about an hour later.
The mayhem was repeated yesterday about 6.30pm when the pig
was seen ''munching'' someone's garden in Elm Row and police
were again called.
This time, his owners were called to retrieve Seamus, who had
managed both his escapes thanks to the gate to his home being
left open.
''He's very much a pet pig. He goes in the car and they take
him for walks on the beach,'' Dunedin City Council animal
control team leader Ros MacGill said.

If you want it to go to XBMC just use that as the default dashboard and drop UX, But i think that UX is 100 times better than XBMC.
Posted 09 July 2006 - 03:23 PM
I have disabled the bios logo screen, and because xbmc only plays movies after loading, it's not what I want, unleash x allows playback of an intro vid (without recoding) and then loads, I am trying to setup the xbox to just load that intro vid(unleashx), then load xbmc straight after without interaction, silly thing I know but I like xbmc for what it can do and playback, but like unleashx for ability to play an intro vids instead of standard flubber, can anyone help me achieve this or am I asking for the impossible ......

Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In The Untethered Soul, spiritual teacher Michael A. Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.The Untethered Soul offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, Singer examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue we all live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show listeners how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment, the embrace of universal consciousness, is the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of unconditional happiness. Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help listeners experience the ideas that Singer presents.

smell the barn
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
- (chiefly US, idiomatic) To experience heightened anticipation or to act with renewed speed or energy as one approaches a destination, goal, or other desired outcome, like a livestock animal at day's end returning to its barn.
- 1996 Aug. 11, Ian Fisher, "To U.S. Troops in Bosnia, Home Looks Closer," The New York Times, p. 18:
- "The horses smell the barn right now," said Capt. Clark D. Carr, the battalion's Protestant chaplain, who knows perhaps better than anyone how badly they want to leave.
- 1998 Nov. 4, "Age has its advantages, says Bonnie Neglia", Gazette, University of Waterloo (retrieved 14 June 2007):
- "I visualize the finish line to keep going—like the horse smelling the barn—and try to finish as strong as I can."
- 2001, LtCol. Bryan P. McCoy, "Identify and Combat Five Treacherous Phenomena," Ground Warrior (Summer), U.S. Navy Naval Safety Center (retrieved 14 June 2007):
- Smelling the barn can result in driving too fast, not clearing weapons properly, and bypassing ammunition-recovery procedures.
- 1996 Aug. 11, Ian Fisher, "To U.S. Troops in Bosnia, Home Looks Closer," The New York Times, p. 18:

Jakarta Gets Tagged With Government Graffiti
The miles of graffiti along Jakarta's messy motorways have become surprisingly preachy recently as the megacity's street artists have stumbled on an unlikely sponsor: the police department.
The 29-year-old artist who goes by the name Bopik had been marking the city's concrete walls, pillars and flyovers for years when the Jakarta police department asked him to start using his prowess for good, in the form of public service messages on traffic safety.
Until then he had been brightening up the walls around his favorite warung and painting massive midnight murals with a message.
"I started what I like to call street art as a way to express my anger and confusion as I grew up," he told Southeast Asia Real Time. "In school they made us paint on canvas, but I prefer walls."
Commuters can recognize his work through its bright colors and humorous characters and commentary. Recurring themes for him have been a lack of solidarity in the city and people's inability to help each other. With police money he has now changed his message to "wear a helmet" and "drive carefully."
"Yo, my Javanese brother, make sure to wear a government-approved helmet," says one of his pieces showing a mustachioed man wearing a Javanese "blangkon" hat and holding a helmet painted with a batik pattern.
After doing some work for the police, he has been commissioned by others, including the National Education Ministry and even the Boy Scouts. For the education ministry he was asked to use street art to promote the use of polite Bahasa. "Our language unites us," says one wall mural.

Bopik, who refused to give his real name (Bopik is the name he signs his work with), is no boy scout. Over the years his studio of street artists has been harassed by and even interrogated by city security forces for practicing their craft. Now he is usually left alone, though, because he has connections in the force.
"Our work used to be mostly illegal with no official permission, sponsor or endorsement, but we are not vandals," he said. "Our work was never meant to make a wall ugly — on the contrary, it makes it more fun."
Don't call his work graffiti though, he said: It is much more sophisticated than a scribbled signature or bad word. He said people even volunteer their walls for his art, and they provide much-needed splashes of color to commuters stuck in the city's notorious traffic jams.
And working for the police does not make him a complete sellout, he said. He still does his own work without sponsors. "Spread the love, not the lies," was the message from a recent piece in the heart of Jakarta.
"Most people don't object to what I draw," he said. "The walls are dirty, grimy and abandoned anyway. People say my work makes the city brighter and nicer."

Imperial Plans Hyundai Truck Production in South Africa
Imperial Holdings Ltd., owner of South Africa's largest car-dealer network, will start building delivery trucks for Hyundai Motor Co. next month to help the South Korean manufacturer expand in the region.
Hyundai Automotive South Africa invested 110 million rand ($10.3 million) in the Johannesburg plant that will begin assembling the HD65 and HD72 mid-size models followed by H100 pickups in January, division Chief Executive Officer Alan Ross told reporters today at the factory's inauguration. Annual capacity starting in 2015 will be about 5,000 vehicles for sale in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia.
Hyundai joins carmakers such as Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors Co. in assembling models including commercial vehicles in Africa's second-biggest economy. Automotive-industry exports rose 8.2 percent to 102.7 billion rand in 2013, while capital expenditure this year is set to surge 82 percent to 7.92 billion rand, the highest since at least 2006, data from the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa show.
"Africa is about commercial vehicles," Manny de Canha, chief executive officer of Imperial's Associated Motor Holdings, said in an interview. "We want to encapsulate Africa in our distributorship going forward."

5.0 stars 4 totalReview Amy Farrar
Posted by a client
Worked Ms. Farrar on specifics of property purchase that were not disclosed. She prepared and presented communications that were professionally written with proper style and voice. Appreciate her research and no nonsense approach to issues.
Posted by a Discrimination client
Ms. Farrar assisted me with an employment/discrimination situation. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and available for any questions or concerns. Most importantly, she was very supportive and honest with every aspect of the case. I recommend Ms. Farrar and her firm without hesitation to anyone experiencing an employment dispute problem such as mine.
Posted by Gail
Amy reviewed my mother's personal documents and recommended the simplest and most cost effective means to meet her needs. She was personable, thorough, and efficient. Amy also recommended other appropriately qualified professionals when we asked questions beyond her area of expertise. I unreservedly recommend Amy and will return to her if we have need of similar work again.
Posted by CK
Like most people, I never expected that I would need legal representation. However, in the spring of 2012, I found myself seeking professional counseling for a divorce with child. After a few dead end referrals from 'friends', my luck changed for the better when I met Ms Farrar. I immediately noticed her high level of care for her client as she listened intently while I described my situation. Although, Ms Farrar never waivered from our goals and objectives of getting the best possible outcome for me, it was very clear that her primary objective was the well being of my child. I knew at that moment, that I had found my attorney.
Over the next few weeks and months, the case became more complex as poor communication from opposing council often left us with tough decisions. Although our patience was tested by a series of obstacles beyond our control, she never lost focus and provided me with excellent representation, guidance, and advice. She exemplifies the perfect combination of care, trust, professionalism, and toughness.
The end result….she achieved the results I wanted while making the journey as smooth as possible.

Jesse was fabulous and I recommend him highly. He was sensitive to my legal situation, he was very knowledgeable about the law, he was challenged with a non-compete agreement but was not afraid to take on attorneys from a large corporation. He successfully litigated my situation and today I am working in my field with a great Seattle based company. I highly recommend Jesse. Thank you Jesse!! **David**
Posted by a client
I am a lawyer who needed representation in my own employment case. After conducting research on who was considered the best employment lawyer in Washington State, Jesse Wing ended up being my choice. I can now in hindsight say that I made the right selection. Jesse is a brilliant no legal theory left unturned lawyer who simply appears to work harder and is smarter than his opponent. After being represented by him I can now endorse his official recognition as Superlawyer which he has earned for many years in a row. Anyone in need of an employment lawyer will be lucky to be represented by Jesse.
Posted by Tiffany
I strongly recommend Jesse Wing for hire. Jesse represented me in a "failure to accommodate" case. During that time I was in a lot of pain and struggling to deal with the emotional impact of both my pain and the effect it was having on my career. At times I was difficult to work with because I was on a lot of medications and very angry at my situation. He was patient, compassionate and also willing to steer me back on course to make sure that my emotions did not take us from our goal: to obtain legal justice. I trust him fully and know that he was worth every penny I paid. I don't think I would have received the same outcome had I gone with a less experienced attorney.
Posted by Debra
Jesse Wing is simply the best at what he does. Jesse represented me in a discrimination case and he was professional, caring, very knowledgeable and always prepared. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone who needs an attorney for a discrimination or employment issue. As an added bonus, Jesse works with a hardworking, personable and thorough paralegal, Carrie Wilkinson, who is always available to assist you.
Posted by MARTIN
He represented me in a "failure to accommodate" case. Ultimately, we were involved in a two week jury trial in Pierce County Superior Court. We won a unanimous, large monitary award. Not only did he stay current on legal decisions which impacted my case, but he was flexible enough to change the way my case was presented to the jury when I was unable to put forward the information we needed to present to the jury as her had originally planned. I was extremely pleased by his ethics, his trustworthyness and his abiulity to respond to me particular strengths and weaknesses.
Posted by a Discrimination client
Jesse worked with me on my case about disability discrimination for nearly 2 years. the other party fought every claim until 2 weeks before it was to go to trial. They then settled in court ordered arbitration - which they had refused to take part in before.
He is knowledgable, kind compassionate, aggressive when needed and the perfect combo of traits you would like to have on your side in a legal issue.

I took advantage of this and in so-doing found that with my package I can only point three domains to folders in a package (5 and 10 respectively for the Large and Unlimited packages).
Directly after that I noticed that the folders which I had pointed domains to would give me a 403 Forbidden Error when I tried to access the site but not when I tried to access the wp-admin page.
The thing that caused this... is that when you point a domain to a sub-folder from the network solutions web page, and that folder doesn't exist (as is the case with the network installs' sub-folder structure) the folder will be created.
If you have an actual sub-folder with the same name as the network install's pseudo-subfolder (it's actually a mod_rewrite that gives the illusion of a subfolder in a network install) the adress http://example.com/examplesubfolder will point to the actual subfolder and not to the examplesubfolder site.
Most of the support that I was able to find gave me a solution but this is not a problem with mod_security.

Ware Washing Cup Stackers
Safely Hold, Store, and Dry Beverageware with Ware Washing Cup Stackers
Use these ware washing cup stackers to hold and store mugs, cups, tumblers, and other compatible beverageware pieces. Each tray features multiple individual protrusions that will hold cups in-place to air dry after they've completed their wash cycles. Allowing your cups to air dry will also eliminate the need to dry them with an unsanitary dish towel. Best of all, their stackable designs allow for space-efficient storage, preserving countertop space in your dish room. Read more
These ware washing cup stackers have unique constructions that allow for air circulation, helping cups dry more quickly and efficiently. They also have raised edges that will prevent beverageware from sliding or falling off the sides. You'll also appreciate that these trays require cups to be stored upside down, which means servers will pick cups up from the bottom rather than touching and contaminating their rims.

motor neuron disease which leads to problems with muscle control and movement.[1][2] There are various types of ALS, which are distinguished by their signs and symptoms and their cause.[2] Early symptoms may include muscle twitching, cramping, stiffness, or weakness, eventually followed by slurred speech and difficulty chewing or swallowing (dysphagia). As the disease progresses, individuals become weaker are are eventually wheelchair-dependent. Death often results from respiratory failure within 2 to 10 years after the onset of symptoms. Most affected individuals have a sporadic (not inherited) form of ALS; about 5-10% have a familial (inherited) form of the condition. Familial ALS may caused by mutations in any one of several genes and the pattern of inheritance varies depending on the gene involved.[2] Treatment is generally supportive.[3]Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive

The emergence of the deep Web has given a new connotation to the concept of ranking database query results. Earlier approaches for ranking either resorted to analyzing frequencies of database values and query logs or establishing user profiles. In contrast, an integrated approach, based on the notion of a similarity model, for holistically supporting user- and query-dependent ranking has been recently proposed (Telang et al. in IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE), 2011). An important component of this framework is a workload consisting of ranking functions, wherein each function represents an individual user's preferences towards the results of a specific query. At the time of answering a query for which no prior ranking function exists, the similarity model is employed, and is expected to ensure a good quality of ranking as long as a ranking function for a very similar user-query pair exists in this workload.
In this paper, we address the problem of determining an appropriate set of user-query pairs to form a workload of ranking functions to support user- and query-dependent ranking for Web databases. We propose a novel metric, termed workload goodness, that quantifies the notion of a "good" workload into an absolute value. The process of finding such a workload of optimal goodness is a combinatorially explosive problem; therefore, we propose a heuristic solution, and advance three approaches for determining an acceptable workload, in a static as well as a dynamic environment. We discuss the effectiveness of our proposal analytically as well as experimentally over two Web databases.

The people and groups working on economic development issues in San Miguel County generally agree about the biggest challenges to economic development in the area.
They include securing a reliable water supply, retaining a skilled workforce, keeping revenues in the county and bringing economic development institutions together to collaborate on initiatives.
But competition over limited funding, power struggles and social divisions within the economic development community are keeping groups from working together to maximize the county's inherent strengths.
People who live within the Las Vegas City Schools district weren't happy late last year when their property taxes shot up by 30 percent.
Last week the school board voted unanimously to restructure the debt and bring property tax relief to east-side residents.
The Associated Press
A wildfire that started over the weekend near Santa Fe has grown to 3,800 acres. Fire officials say there's zero containment on the Pacheco Fire burning 2 miles north of Santa Fe Ski Basin. The fire is burning through mixed conifer and ponderosa pine.
Smoke from that blaze has been visible from Las Vegas and Pecos.
Extreme fire danger, severe drought, high winds and hot temperatures have convinced Las Vegas City Manager Timothy Dodge that he should cancel the annual Fourth of July fireworks display.
"We urge all citizens to abide by firework restrictions due to the high fire danger," the city states in a news release announcing the cancellation. "The use of fireworks is strongly discouraged."

Fort Union event is this weekend
Fort Union National Monument is holding its annual "Cultural Encounters" weekend this Saturday and Sunday. The park is waiving all entrance fees. As part of the weekend activities, visitors may take self-guided tours of Fort Union. Park hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. To visit the monument, take Exit 366 off I-25 at Watrous, onto N.M. 161, eight miles. For more information and a complete schedule of events, contact Fort Union National Monument at 425-8025, or visit www.nps.gov/foun.

The New Mexico State Police will be conducting Sobriety Checkpoints in San Miguel County throughout the remainder of June in an effort to prevent alcohol and drug related crashes within the communities. Sobriety Checkpoints also serve as a deterrent against alcohol and drug related crimes and to protect communities from the negative effects they cause, according to state police.
The Pacheco Canyon wildfire was the latest blaze to set off alarms. A shift in the winds could have turned it toward the watershed that feeds Santa Fe but, instead, the fire blew through the Santa Fe National Forest and toward the Pecos Wilderness area — bringing it all the closer to San Miguel County.
Of course, it's unimaginable that that fire would get anywhere close to Las Vegas, even though on Saturday evening its plume of smoke could be clearly seen covering the sky to the north of town, and by Monday morning you could smell it in the air.

I have a new PC with a Samsung SSD830 with 256GB and installed Ubuntu 12 two weeks ago.
I checked the disk alignment, but that was correct.
From the first day it gets slower after a while of usage.
I see it at the build time of my project or with
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output bs=8k count=10k; I get after booting 400MB/s write speed, and when I feel it is slow it is around 1.5MB/s.
When I reboot the PC, it is fast again. Is it a hardware failure? Are there any other suggestions what I can try? (tried sync command when it was slow)
EDIT: I activated auto trim as well, and did a manual trim what did not help

??!! Hello Punishment Kitty
posted by August 9 at 8:32 AMon
Thai police officers caught for a range of minor misdemeanours will have to sport hot pink armbands of Hello Kitty, the Japanese icon of cuteness, as a form of punishment.
The striking armband features the Hello Kitty cat character invented by Japan's Sanrio Co in 1974 sitting atop two hearts.
"Simple warning s no longer work," [said Police Colonel Pongpat Chayaphan] "This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offence, no matter how minor."
There's a Ph.D. in gender studies, just waiting to be built on this story.
(Thanks, Erika!)

TT Boy has perfected the art of shooting multiple couple sex. He knows how to get as many fuckers as possible into the frame, how to arrange them in groups, when to have them change positions, when to cut to close-ups. Most crucially he knows how to inspire them to maximum energy and heat.
The series is all about black men banging a racially mixed group of girls (here mostly white), two orgies per volume, seven girls in the first, nine in the second.
The first scene is set up with a wet T-shirt contest, the second with a pole-dancing competition — both potent tease situations, especially with girls this uninhibited.
Once the sex starts it's nonstop and intense, with plenty of anal and d.p.s. Some great high-angle shots show all the action at once.
In the first orgy, Nikki Hunter and Kelly Wells — both doing great d.p.s — are just a few of the standouts. Candace, Francie and the ever-ready Ariana Jollee highlight the second clusterfuck. Both end with massive cum-swaps.Retailing: Series has plenty of fans and this is one of its best outings.

5 reviews | 4.6 out of 5
Bought this unit to replace a unit that was no longer functional. It has exceeded my expectations in several areas. Set up / installation was a breeze. And the sound and available features are outstanding for this price point. The ability to link to my home network is a big plus as is the airplay feature. It is great to be able to sit and enjoy music from my iPhone 5 directly over the system. With this feature who needs a docking system. Just open the app on your phone and enjoy the music.
Overall this is a very nice receiver with a lot of great features and plenty of inputs for all of your devices. I would highly recommend this unit.
This receiver for the money is probably the best I have ever purchased. I also like how it looks and how it functions, the control panel is laid out fairly well, although a beginner may find it some what difficult. This receiver has not only 7.1 - channel A/V , but also has many different sound applications from Concert Sound, Rock Sound to a very good surround sound Things, that I find difficult are the remote control it is very hard to read due too all function buttons having been printed way to light as though you have had it for many years and they have worn off. Some features on the remote are difficult to under stand even when reading the owners Manuel which does not come in the box with the receiver, you must look it up on line. Many people do not have access to a computer so they may not be able to go online and find the Manuel. The quick set-up guide was adequate but did not show how to operate the many functions this receiver has. I did not understand many things in the operators Manuel, such as how to adjust base & treble and I could not find this in the book! Someone needs to write a owners Manuel that is not only easy to understand but also reveals all operations in a user friendly way. I still have not been able to program the remote control so as only (1) remote is needed to make all the other equipment, such as DVD , TV, Disc Player etc. operational with the Pioneer Remote Controller.There are so many other quirky Items that could be mention in this review but maybe someone else will provide better answers.
Can't beat the price on this unit with so many features that I was looking for. I looked at the 2013 model vs this 2012 model and not much of difference between them. Great wifi apps that work with all my Apple products that I own. Only draw back is the power output for each channel but hey can't complain about it cause it sounds great.
Easy to install and operate. Although would prefer more complete operating manual.
Good value that offers A and B speaker option.

Foursquare Will Decide on Sale in Weeks, Crowley Says
Foursquare Labs Inc., the location-based Web service that reached 1 million users this week, will decide whether to sell itself or raise more venture capital within weeks, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Crowley said.
The New York-based startup is debating the right way to finance its growth, Crowley, 33, said in an interview today. He declined to identify any suitors or comment on how much the company might be worth.
"We'll do whatever is best for the product," Crowley said. "We'll have it resolved in a couple of weeks. I want to end the distractions and get back to work."
Foursquare, which has grown from 170,000 users at the end of last year, would help an acquirer expand in the wireless local-advertising market. Services like Foursquare, which deliver coupons and offers to users based on where their phones say they are, may account for as much as $4.1 billion in yearly advertising spending by 2015, said Kip Cassino, research director at consulting firm Borrell Associates in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Yahoo! Inc. was considering buying Foursquare for about $100 million, Business Insider reported this month. The Silicon Valley blog TechCrunch reported yesterday that Microsoft Corp. and Facebook Inc. are or have been in talks with the company.
Foursquare has also held talks with several venture-capital firms, TechCrunch reported March 25. Proposed valuations ranged as high as $80 million, the blog reported.
Checking In
Dana Lengkeek, a spokeswoman for Yahoo, and Jonathan Thaw, a spokesman for Facebook, said their companies don't comment on rumor or speculation. Frank Shaw, a spokesman for Microsoft, also declined to comment.
Crowley said many of the reports aren't accurate, and that Foursquare hadn't been a source for them.
"People are just making stuff up at this point," he said today. "We're just as surprised as anyone else."
Foursquare, founded last year, lets users "check in" using mobile phones when they visit a specific place or business, earning rewards and letting advertisers target them for special offers. Users can also see who else has checked in at locations near them, review businesses and get suggestions on things to do near where they are.
New Features
The 20-employee company offers free advertising, for now, to small shops and restaurants, while generating revenue from selling ads to chain businesses, Crowley said. Ultimately, it plans to offer targeted advertising for local businesses, by crunching data about where users check in to guess what kinds of offers they want to see, he said.
The company is rolling out new features, including a self-service platform to let small businesses create Foursquare ads, and may begin services to introduce users to each other, Crowley said. The number of users is growing 50 percent a month and is on pace to reach 3 million by the end of the summer, he said.
"I'm like, 'That's impossible,' and Harry's like, 'That's the curve, dude,'" Crowley said, referring to Foursquare lead engineer Harry Heymann. "When you get to a million people you can start introducing people to other people. You can do a lot of interesting things."
