How do YubiKeys work? Are there any alternatives?
The YubiKey comes in different variants, for example the YubiKey 4 and the YubiKey U2F. All YubiKeys are hardware tokens and are connected to a USB port. Most feature an inductive button and one model also has NFC (the YubiKey Neo). The variants differ regarding form factor and the number of supported features.
The YubiKey 4 provides several functions:
For some of its features it presents itself as a USB HID device.
There are alternative solutions available that provide similar or a subset of the multi-feature YubiKey 4. For example, classic hardware chipcard readers (perhaps even featuring a keypad) in combination with an OpenPGP compatible chipcard.
The YubiKey U2F is only a U2F device, i.e. a device that is able to generate a origin specific public/private key pair and returns a key handle and a public key to the caller. Like other inexpensive U2F devices, the private keys are not stored, instead they are symmetrically encrypted (with an internal key) and returned as the key handle. Using the key-handle, the U2f device is then able to sign a challenge, thus creating a response as part of a multi factor authentication.
Since U2F is an open standard (that is also pushed by corporations like Google), there are several alternative inexpensive U2F hardware tokens available (search for 'FIDO U2F key').
I have one, and I'd recommend them! I actually got it for free from the Yubico guys, when I was attending BSidesLondon.
Think of it as an RSA secure-key, except much smaller, cheaper and without a battery. You get (essentially) the same security, though YubiKeys have a signficantly larger keyspace than the RSA ones. They're also incredibly sturdy, and can be fully immersed in water without damage.
Here's mine:
I know this sounds like an advert, but they really are great. Compared to carrying around a bunch of those secure-keys, they're almost unnoticeable on a keyring.
As for how they work, they validate against a cloud service that Yubico run, and provide two-factor authentication. All the server software is open-source, and they're happy for you to run your own authentication servers. It's entirely transparent.
Have a dig around on their website, there's plenty of technical info and descriptions on there.
Have a look over here http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/yubikey-one-time-password-authentication
The following outtake is written by Drik Mekel, author of the previously linked article:
Each time you press the button on the device, it generates a one-time password and sends it to the host machine as if you had entered it on a keyboard. This password then can be used by the service to authenticate you as a user.
I suggest you read through the 5 page article (as this is to much to take over here)
As I understand it, Yubikey acts like a USB keyboard. You plug it in your computer, place the cursor in a form field, press the button on the Ubikey, and it sends out a text string of 44 characters to the computer like you are typing those 44 characters. The computer doesn't know the difference between you typing it or the Ubikey generating it.
A website like a Wordpress site with Ubikey plugin, or the Lastpass addon in Firefox, or any other website that has a Ubikey option, has a login form with username, password, and Ubikey password. You enter your username and password, place the cursor in the Ubikey field, then press the Ubikey button, and it enters the Ubikey password into the field.
Then the form is submitted, and the Ubikey is validated in the Ubicloud. The website checks if the entered Ubikey password is valid. The Ubikey itself does not connect to the Ubicloud. It's just a device generating a string sending it out acting like a keyboard, and it does not connect to the internet or anything except as that keyboard.
Before all this works, you need to update your account on the website to use Ubikey. That means you need to link your key to the account. That way the Ubicloud can check the generated code and validate it against your account.
The website of course needs to implement the Ubikey functionality, which is available as a free service for website owners.
If the Ubikey gets lost, you can use the normal recovery methods the website has to recover your account and disable the Ubikey. Normally this means that you get a password recovery link via email, and that link disables the Ubikey function in your account.
Disclaimer: I've been wondering how Ubikey works, I've been searching for answers, and this is what I made of it. I hope it's correct, and if it's not, correct it or give a comment - I want to know!
The other answers here don't give any real explanation. Even the Linuxjournal article doesn't explain it this way. The accepted answer gives a black-box answer - not what I was looking for when I opened this page. I hope this answer gives a better explanation and writing it made me understand the Yubikey better.

The latest carnage appears to be almost wholly sectarian—that is, Shiite versus Sunni—and linked to last month's destruction of an important Shiite shrine. The single-day death tally of 87 follows a spate of weekend attacks that claimed 58 lives.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police in the past 24 hours have found the bodies of at least 87 people killed by execution-style shootings—a gruesome wave of apparent sectarian reprisal slayings, officials said Tuesday.
The dead included at least 29 bodies stacked in a mass grave in an eastern Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad.
The bloodshed—the second wave of mass killings in Iraq since bombers destroyed an important Shiite shrine last month—followed weekend attacks in a teeming Shiite slum in which 58 people died and more than 200 were wounded.
North of the capital, a roadside bomb exploded Tuesday among Shiite pilgrims headed on foot to the holy city Karbala, killing one person and injuring seven near Baqouba, police said.

icky sweet taste
Posted by Reviewer2097529 on Sep 21, 2008
I really like all the ingredients and vegan proteins in this product, but I really dislike the taste. It's got an icky sweetness. I'd only buy the product again if there were a plain, unflavored version.
Didn't like
Posted by Reviewer3306346 on Dec 16, 2009
I'm gluten and dairy free and need a protein powder. Thought I'd try this one. For some reason my body didn't like it. Could just be an individual reaction. My husband is drinking it without problems.
Doesn't taste good - at least to me

I've tried mixing this with several things but the taste makes me not want to use this product.
Blech, the taste!
Posted by 5684141106623090059 on Oct 14, 2013
I don't know who likes this but it is so sweet and strong tasting, I have to mix it with the chocolate version to be able to bear it! I'm sure it's great in other ways but if you don't like things that are too sweet avoid it, the chocolate one is so much tastier.
Not a fan
Posted by 4915072871734843897 on Dec 03, 2014
This stuff has a distinct flavor that I wasn't too fond of. I'm more into Vega since it mixes well into smoothies.

If you visit http://jobmob.co.il/ with a smartphone, more often than not the homepage displays the desktop version. Since upgrading to 3.1.1 (now on 3.1.5), I've only seen the Bauhaus version of my homepage once.
Also, if you click through to one of the articles, sometimes you'll get the Bauhaus version, and sometimes it's the desktop version.
- I have cleared all W3TC caches a few times.
- I have cleared my smartphone (Firefox) browser cache.
- I have configured W3TC to let mobile traffic passthrough (which must be why I can see Bauhaus on many of the posts)
Pretty sure this is an issue I've been seeing for a while, even before the WpTouch 3.x upgrades.
Any ideas?

The events of this week served to underline the fact that the war on terrorism was always really about Afghanistan and Pakistan, and that President George W. Bush's splendid little adventure in Iraq was always a sideshow, even though it siphoned off the biggest chunk of manpower and resources.

Early next week the U.S. Senate will vote on an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with a few small amendments intended to immunize telecommunications corporations that assisted our government in the warrantless and illegal wiretapping it has grown to love.

I was unable to make the photo more clear. Someone had scratched through the man's face, there is a woman in this photo but you can barely tell as her face has been rubbed off. Back says, Uncle Woody, Georgette Marie Holmes and young boy, Perry Ringwood. We believe Perry to be one of the son's of Arthur Ringwood and his wife Catherine. Both killed in an accident. Catherine died in her husbands arms.

Early autopsy shows children in crash drowned
Published: Friday, January 16, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 11:51 p.m.
Preliminary autopsy results for two children involved in a fatal accident in Rosman show they died as a result of drowning, according to the Greenville, S.C., Coroners Office.
A family of four from Liberty, S.C., was traveling on Pickens Highway when the 1999 Plymouth van the father was driving went off the road and crashed into a nearby pond, according to Sgt. Pat Staggs with the N.C. Highway Patrol. Brent Bigger, 33, was driving the van when it went off the road. He was able to get out, but Patricia Bigger, 29, and their two children, Caroline, 7, and Anthony, 4, were trapped in the car and did not survive. The father went to Pickens Highway to yell for help after the accident.
Coroner B. Parks Evans Jr. said Thursday that preliminary results show the two children died as a result of fresh water drowning.
Now the medical examiner will view tissue under the microscope to see if anything else could have contributed to the childrens death, he said.
Patricias body was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for an autopsy.
Evans said his office had also sent samples for toxicology testing to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Department to see if there were any other substances in the childrens bodies that may have contributed to their death.
It will be four to six weeks before we have our final report, he said.
Staggs said the investigation is ongoing and moving slowly at this point.
I cant tell you when I will have more information to release about this case, he said. Now we are in the process of collecting physical evidence from the scene.
The Connestee Falls Volunteer Fire Department has been assisting the Highway Patrol by collecting evidence through the use of their dive team.
They are helping our reconstruction team, Staggs said. Now we are trying to determine what caused the vehicle to run off the road. I dont foresee a closure in this case anytime soon.
Staggs said he did not have any information about Brent Bigger having a medical condition that may have caused the accident.
Phone calls made to Brent Bigger and his local pastor were not immediately returned.

Product Description
Product Description
From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro (director of Blade II, The Devil's Backbone) comes Hellboy, a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignola's popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell and brought to Earth as an infant to perpetrate evil, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was rescued from sinister forces by the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero. In Dr. Broom's secret Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy creates an unlikely family consisting of the telepathic "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can control fire. Hidden from the very society that theyprotect, they stand as the key line of defense against an evil madman who seeks to reclaim Hellboy to the dark side and use his powers to destroy mankind.
In the ongoing deluge of comic-book adaptations, Hellboy ranks well above average. Having turned down an offer to helm Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in favor of bringing Hellboy's origin story to the big screen, the gifted Mexican director Guillermo del Toro compensates for the excesses of Blade II with a moodily effective, consistently entertaining action-packed fantasy, beginning in 1944 when the mad monk Rasputin--in cahoots with occult-buff Hitler and his Nazi thugs--opens a transdimensional portal through which a baby demon emerges, capable of destroying the world with his powers. Instead, the aptly named Hellboy is raised by the benevolent Prof. Bloom, founder of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, whose allied forces enlist the adult Hellboy (Ron Perlman, perfectly cast) to battle evil at every turn. While nursing a melancholy love for the comely firestarter Liz (Selma Blair), Hellboy files his demonic horns ("to fit in," says Bloom) and wreaks havoc on the bad guys. The action is occasionally routine (the movie suffers when compared to the similar X-Men blockbusters), but del Toro and Perlman have honored Mike Mignola's original Dark Horse comics with a lavish and loyal interpretation, retaining the amusing and sympathetic quirks of character that made the comic-book Hellboy a pop-culture original. He's red as a lobster, puffs stogies like Groucho Marx, and fights the good fight with a kind but troubled heart. What's not to like? --Jeff ShannonSee all Product Description

In fact, just about everything is right with "Hellboy" -- Del Toro crafted an action blockbuster with a grimy, slimy cult-movie feel and a quirky sense of humor. It's graced with excellent acting, spectacular action scenes, and the trappings of clockpunk and Lovecraftian horror -- not to mention that it stars a six-foot-tall scarlet demon with a soft spot for kittens.
In 1944, young Professor Broom accompanied an army regiment to a remote Scottish island, where the Nazis -- led by Rasputin -- were about to open a portal to another world, and allow the vast tentacled Ogru Jahad (Seven Gods of Chaos) to enter our world. Rasputin and the Nazis were destroyed, but something came through the portal -- a baby demon, whom Broom names Hellboy.
Fast-forward sixty years -- a grown Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and his fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones) are working at a paranormal government agency that specializes in policing the supernatural, with the weirded-out Agent Myers (Rupert Evans) just joining the team. Soon afterwards, Hellboy is called on to kill Sammael the Hellhound -- but it turns out that Sammael can replicate himself indefinitely.
As Hellboy and his team try to hunt down the remaining Sammaels, the dying Professor Broom (John Hurt) finds that a revived Rasputin and his immortal Nazi followers have orchestrated all this. And Rasputin is continuing to pull the strings behind the scenes -- including using Hellboy's love Liz (Selma Blair), a depressed pyrokinetic.Read more ›

A baby demon comes through an interdimensional portal originally created by the Nazis near the end of World War II, but is rescued by the Allies before he could fall into enemy hands. Fast forward some sixty years later to the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. The baby demon is grown up—now called "Hellboy"—and he works for the BPRD.
When an evil hellhound known as Sammael is unleashed, Hellboy and the BPRD are sent to stop it. What ensues is a supernatural battle between Good and Evil.
This movie is a superhero monster movie, two of my favorite genres rolled into one. You got Hellboy (Ron Perlman), the lone gunman type but with a heart of gold; Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), the intellectual who is a humanoid amphibian; Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), who is a distraught young woman with major issues and also has a hard time controlling her pyrokinetic abilities; and Trevor Bruttenholm (John Hurt), the scholar and father-figure who guides the group.
As an amateur scholar of the supernatural world myself and all that that entails, the idea of the BPRD really appeals to me as I think modern society is very close-minded on the subject when the very world we live in—never mind all that's beyond it—suggests that there is much more to our existence than what we can perceive with our five senses. Too many accounts of supernatural happenings to discount that. But that's not what this review is about, so onward.
Hellboy is an exciting movie with loads of action. Watching Hellboy fight is, well, just plain cool. Very brutal, and is sheer brawn mixed with skill. (He also wings things, too.) There's some real good humor in this flick, as well.Read more ›

Feb 14, 2014It's a pleasantly subtle and realistic drama, but not a whole lot happens in it. I suppose it works better as the final part of a trilogy, but I haven't seen the other two and, on its own, Paradise: Hope feels a little too slight.
Dec 27, 2013The third and final movie of the 'Paradise' trilogy which sets in the summer holiday. Just like the previous two movies this one happens to the parallel timeline but in different locations with different theme and people. The movie which unfolds the story of 'Hope' of a teen girl and her summer vacation at weight loss camp.

Just like the previous two movies this one happens to the parallel timeline but in different locations with different theme and people. The movie which unfolds the story of 'Hope' of a teen girl and her summer vacation at weight loss camp. She was left there by her aunt and before that by her mother in her aunt's house. So all the three movies were interconnected by the characters from one family. And this, the last movie of the trilogy briefs the teenagers issues especially the fat ones and their perspective.
The 13 year old Melanie was sent to the weight loss camp in her summer holiday as per the agreement from her mother. As she joins the others from the camp her innocence seemed to be gone. Unexpectedly she undergoes her first love experience and expects to lose her virginity. On the other side of the story, the friends hangout and partying at late night puts further trouble to her relationship with whom she considered her boyfriend.
This final episode of the trilogy portrayed from a girl's angle which definitely stands as the title promised. The director again did not hesitate to give his new and experimental approach to the problems faced by the people in the contemporary world. His bold attempt is what gave us the three spectacular movies which deals on the different contents and characters. Definitely such movies are not made to make money. But to show the people from different parts of the world about the direction of travelling new culture over the old. These movies are not for entertainment, if you are aware what you watching and what's the purpose of it then you won't be a disappoint much. Like I said three movies, three different locations, three different people and for three different audiences (unless you are a movie buff who watch all the three).… Expand
Mar 5, 2014'Paradise: Hope' is the last installment in Ulrich Seidl's 'Paradise' trilogy and for one and a half hours it follows the life of Melanie, a 13 year old, and her battle with obesity in a weight loss camp.
Surrounded by many other children with the same condition, Melanie participates in daily physical challenges to relinquish the unwanted kilograms as well as learning about healthy'Paradise: Hope' is the last installment in Ulrich Seidl's 'Paradise' trilogy and for one and a half hours it follows the life of Melanie, a 13 year old, and her battle with obesity in a weight loss camp.
Surrounded by many other children with the same condition, Melanie participates in daily physical challenges to relinquish the unwanted kilograms as well as learning about healthy nutritional tips. Melanie is a budding woman, who finds herself at the crucial age of curiosity about life's intricacies and one way to combat the weight loss boredom is by beginning to explore the new horizons that lay ahead of her.
A brief dialogue with her roommate about the opposite gender, sex and love represents the first clue that Melanie is undergoing a changing process from childhood to adulthood. And it is this transformation that Ulrich Seidl explores in detail with the help of Melanie's curiosities, desires and the naivety of her young age.
Eventually, the 13 year old falls in love with the diet camp doctor - a svelte gentleman with silver hair and some 40 years her senior. Driven by her pursuits to experience adulthood, Melanie begins to pay daily visits to the medical cabinet in the hope that the doctor will eventually respond to her seductive behaviour. Despite his weakness and paedophilic tendencies, the doctor resists her and in this way Melanie gets to sample the first taste of adulthood: deception.
Of course, our trustfulness will exhort us to believe that what the 13 year old protagonist is experiencing is indeed love but at best, given her very tender age, is nothing but infatuation fuelled by an aggressive amalgam of new sentiments that she is trying to make sense of.
Melanie's first encounter with life's game is not strong enough to impede her from continuing with her seductive quest in the 'hope' that after all, life is what it appears to be. But the more she tries to seduce the doctor, the sharper the rejections become and this circumstance makes room for an avalanche of self-searching, self-awareness, sadness and more deception at the thought that she is unsuccessful in her attempts thanks to her extra pounds.
In his philosophical vision on life, Seidl explores the naivety and innocence of the young and the risks and dangers they are exposing themselves to without any shred of anticipation or knowledge. Seidl is using the 'hope', desires, curiosities and the positive outlook on life of the protagonist in order to strongly underline the status of prey that the young and innocent are exposed to.
When the level of disillusionment finally penetrated Melanie's confidence in life, she decided to drown her sorrows in alcohol during a night out in town. There, completely wasted, she is lucky not to become the victim of two young male predators on a night out in search of easy prey.
There is no coincidence between Seidl's choice of a budding woman as the main character and the concept of 'hope' that this movie often relates to. Through Melanie's struggles and optical changes on life, the director is indirectly pointing towards the fact that life is a losing game, and that disillusionment and deception are an integral part of what life has to offer. But from a philosophical point of view, 'Paradise: Hope' draws awareness towards society's traps, prey-predator situations and the fact that no one is exempt from suffering.
On this note, the young and inexperienced Melanie is keen to learn about life's grandeur and instead, all she finds are dangers, risks, traps and a strong taste of loss. Only, her young age and the subsequent positive impulses that stem from 'hope' are strong enough to undermine her first negative encounter with life's gifts.… Expand
Awards & Rankings
This is, by some distance, the best movie of the three, and it showcases the impeccable symmetry of his compositions, while retaining his compulsion to wag a finger in your face.
When Melanie falls under the spell of a silver-haired pedophile as tall and trim as a Marine (Joseph Lorenz), the film gets set on its rocky path to a conclusion that fulfills the film's title and rounds out the "Paradise" series quite beautifully — if you're not afraid to look.
Seidl has made an insightful film that's more about the trials of a young woman's coming of age than about being overweight.

There is a certain hidden mediocrity in those who are stationed above us in life, an ability to take liberties in their pursuit of pleasures and diversions, without injuring the honor and respect we owe to them.
Magdeleine Sable (c. 1599 - 1678)
Source: the Marquise Sablé's work is in Maxims and Various Thoughts (Maximes et pensées diverses) 1678
Contributed by: Zaady
Honest and sincere acts mislead the wicked and cause them to lose their path to their own goals, because mean-spirited people usually believe that people never act without deceit.
Ignorance makes for weakness and fear; knowledge gives strength and confidence. Nothing surprises an intellect that knows all things with a sense of discrimination.
We prefer people who are trying to imitate us more than those who are trying to equal us. This is because imitation is a sign of esteem, but the desire to equal others is a sign of envy.
There is a certain imperiousness, in the manner of speaking and in actions, which makes itself felt everywhere, and soon wins attention and respect. This commanding quality is useful in all affairs, and even for obtaining what we ask for.
This imperiousness which aids us in all things is merely a fitting authority which comes from superior spirit.
It is better that great peoples should seek out glory, or even vanity, in their deeds, than that they should remain indifferent . For even if they are not incited to act upon virtuous principles, at least there is the saving grace that they will do things they might not have done had not vanity prompted their actions.
To know how to unveil the inner workings of others, and how to hide one's own, is the great mark of the superior intellect.
If we took as much trouble to be what we should be as we take to deceive others by disguising what we are, we could appear as we really are without having the trouble of disguising ourselves.
We think highly of men when we do not know the extent of their capabilities, for we always suppose that more exists when we only see half.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

These days nothing from your past can be forgotten. Just ask 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh. Back when Jim was playing for Colts, he did an appearance on Saved By the Bell. He was Screech's cousin and was looking to help teach a kid the importance of playing for the team and not just for yourself. Yesterday the video clip of Harbaugh's Emmy winning performance was plastered everywhere on the internet. Unfortunately the show was not the original Saved By the Bell. It was Saved By the Bell: The New Class that only had Mr. Belding and Screech. In case you have not seen the video check it out below and also the sweet gif of Harbaugh slapping Screech to the ground. Just think of it as an early Christmas present. You are welcome!

I Can't Finish This Book (153)
This is a book that, if it sounds interesting to you, it is probably worth trying.
As it turned out, I really didn't like it.
It has some interesting things to say on reading and writing, but I had a couple of major problems with it.
The first, is that the story is written in the second person. Outside of a Chose Your Own Adventure, I've always found second person POV very distancing from the story, even when "you" is clearly a character in the book, not the reader. In this case, "you" is explicitly the person reading the book, and "you, the reader" are unambiguously male, which I am not. It helped, somewhat, when I mentally recast the POV character as Bob.
The other problem I had may be partly caused by the translation, certainly it is partly due to my personal tastes. That problem is the books Bob starts, but never manages to finish. They make up half the book and I had two issues with them.
1)They all felt like they were written by the same person. Okay, they were, but in the book they're supposed to be by different authors and in different genres, but they never captured that feeling. Maybe they were more distinct in the original or maybe this was just beyond the author's ability. (I suppose it's possible this was a deliberate choice too.)
2)They were all boring and I honestly couldn't understand why Bob would go to such lengths to try to finish reading them. The most promising one involved two characters having a hard time disposing of a corpse, but it was full of just as many dull introspective passages and poorly flowing flashbacks as all the rest. What should have been tense, or funny, ended up a snoozefest.
I don't regret reading it, it was short enough that it didn't massively overstay its welcome, but I have no urge to reread it or read anything else by the author.
If you haven't yet read this book, and you have any interest in meta-fiction or fiction-as-process, then you have neglected one of the greatest treasures of modern world literature. While some find this book a bit daunting, it is worth committing to read at least 75 pages, at which point, you should be well invested in the plot(s). Calvino is a master storyteller, and this book should be savored rather than read. A modern classic, definitely required reading.
I liked the idea of the stories separated and mixed, but I wanted smething more to happen to bring everything together at the end. Entertaining but not absorbing
Calvino has written ten short stories linked by the narrator's obsessive/compulsive desire to find the author/authors of 10 short stories. Each short story could stand on its own merit, but Calvino tries to link them by telling us that the author of the first story is really the author of the second story, who is actually the author of the third story, and so on and so on ad nauseum. The premise of the ten stories in the novel is based on this sentence; "If on a winter's night a traveler, outside the town of Malbork, leaning from the steep slope, without fear of wind or vertigo, looks down in the gathering shadow, in a network of lines, in a network of lines that intersect, on a carpet of leaves illuminated by the moon, around an empty grave, what story down there awaits its end?" Calvino tries to makes this literary mishmash into a detective story by asking, "Who is the real author and where is he so I can interview him?" Ultimately the book failed for me for I grew weary keeping all the titles, authors, characters, locations, and plots straight. In fact, I even wrote a short summary of each story up to including Chapter 8, but eventually I lost interest, became disengaged from the whole process, and read the rest of the book just to finish it off.

You, The Reader, are standing in a huge Waterstones in London. You're not planning to buy more books, because you still have to take a plane home, and you have limited space in you're luggage left. You're waiting for some one, and as you wait, your eyes go over a table filled with books. One of them has a title that attracts you, so you pick it up, get a seat and start reading the first few pages, just to pass the time. By the time your friend shows up, you know you won't be able to leave without the book. You end up buying it, so you can discover the tale for yourself.
Original Title: Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore
This book is special in many ways. First, there are many different stories we get a look at, but we never get to see how they end, as the stories are always interrupted in one way or the other. Still, they leave you thinking you wanted to now how they continued, some more than others of course. This was the level I really liked, all the different stories and how they were connected somehow.
Then there is the story about The Reader & The Other Reader. Like I said before, I was impulsively bought this book, just because I thought the first few were so special and intriguing. But I have to say that at a certain point, as the story turns out to be less and less realistic, I lost a bit of interest. At that point I felt like the post-modernism was just taken one step too far. But overall, it's a very special read, I'm quite sure you won't find another book just like it.
Re-reading a novel you loved is like revisiting a city where you loved: you do it in the company of your younger self. You may not get on with your younger self, or else the absence of what is missing colours your judgment. Despite my reservations, however, I wouldn't want a word of If on a winter's night a traveller to be different, and if Calvino's ghost seeks me out after this, I'll still get down on my knees and pay homage.

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0156439611, Paperback)If on a Winter's Night a Traveler is a marvel of ingenuity, an experimental text that looks longingly back to the great age of narration--"when time no longer seemed stopped and did not yet seem to have exploded." Italo Calvino's novel is in one sense a comedy in which the two protagonists, the Reader and the Other Reader, ultimately end up married, having almost finished If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. In another, it is a tragedy, a reflection on the difficulties of writing and the solitary nature of reading. The Reader buys a fashionable new book, which opens with an exhortation: "Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade." Alas, after 30 or so pages, he discovers that his copy is corrupted, and consists of nothing but the first section, over and over. Returning to the bookshop, he discovers the volume, which he thought was by Calvino, is actually by the Polish writer Bazakbal. Given the choice between the two, he goes for the Pole, as does the Other Reader, Ludmilla. But this copy turns out to be by yet another writer, as does the next, and the next.
The real Calvino intersperses 10 different pastiches--stories of menace, spies, mystery, premonition--with explorations of how and why we read, make meanings, and get our bearings or fail to. Meanwhile the Reader and Ludmilla try to reach, and read, each other. If on a Winter's Night is dazzling, vertiginous, and deeply romantic. "What makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that within both of them times and spaces open, different from measurable time and space."
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:09:37 -0400)
Calvino shows that the novel, far from being a dead form, is capable of endless mutations. If on a winter's night a traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author.

Hey guys,
So i got let go from my job last week and now i have too much time on my hands so here goes my plan:
First and foremost: sign Harbaugh as coach
sign an OC (mcdaniels??)
Trade 2nd round pick to Philly for Kevin Kolb ( although someone mentioned they are asking 2 first round picks for him, which imo is insane. I wouldnt even give 1 first let alone 2.)
pick 1: AJ Green
Pick 2: traded
pick 3: Pass rusher
FA: CB Chris Carr
FA: OG Daryn Colledge
i think our offense would be explosive. Yea Kolb isnt manning or Brees but hes effective and your fooling yourselves if you think hes another alex smith.
I know I didnt address the defense enough but I just felt like our other needs were more pressing right now

Hamilton returned to the witness box to tell the High Court he had found the evidence that he previously said was "lost" at the back gates of his house in a disused letterbox.
The crucial evidence was three Blackberrys that were discovered in the letterbox on Thursday morning with Hamilton having previously been unable to explain their loss.
However, the High Court had previously been told that eight Blackberrys went missing.
Paul Downes, QC, representing Di Resta, said: "There is a problem, isn't there? There were eight BlackBerrys (which went missing) but only three have been returned.
"The thief must have been seeing the press coverage or reading the transcripts so thought they would only return the exact devices (that were relevant). That is your theory now?"
The electrical equipment is considered very important in Hamilton's damages claim against Force India driver Di Resta for wrongful dismissal as his manager.
Downes made the point that unless the missing evidence was found, Hamilton could have faced "criminal as well as civil proceedings" and therefore suggested that he may have acted to ensure their discovery.
"If you had tampered with evidence that would be a serious criminal offence, would it?" he said, to which Hamilton replied: "I have not tampered with any evidence."
Downes also suggested that Hamilton had deliberately fiddled with dates of draft emails and notes to help him in the case.
Hamilton said: "I have told you the truth and if you don't like it there is nothing I can do."
A verdict in the case is likely to be delayed until January.

Belief and money manifestation
Steve Pavlina has posted an entry on his weblog where he gives tips for manifesting money as part of his Million Dollar Experiment. In this post he explains that money can be 'found' just by manifesting the intent of receiving it.
The idea is that by announcing your intent to receive money and putting your mind to it will somehow make the money to start appearing in your life. In the post he describes his personal story with money manifistation. He started from manifesting pennies and he notices that he started to constantly finding pennies on the ground. After some time he 'increased' his intend into larger coins and so it was that he had found nickels and quuarters. Later he introduced his wife to the system. Here's a quote for Steve's article:
"When my wife and I would go out on dates during this time, I'd demonstrate my new "power" to find coins anywhere we went. Then she became "infected" too and started finding coins with me. One time after I found a penny, she said, "Wait a minute. Why are we focusing on pennies here? I want to manifest a dollar". Later during that same date as we walked back to our car, she found a dollar bill in good condition lying flat on the ground in the parking lot – it was directly on the way to our car. We were stunned to say the least."
Although I find the story of Steve interesting I know that it can actually be done on personal experience, and not only with coins (or bills). When I was younger, about the the ages 12 to 14 I was constantly amazed at the power of the belief and intent to 'receive' things. At that time, as a child, I was collecting different unimportant stuff. When I wanted to find something that I collected I would say a short prayer with the intent of finding what I wanted, and usually there it was.
In one more original event I needed a small amount of money to buy something that my grandmother asked me to bring. And I was saying the same little prayer with the intent to somehow solve the situation. On my way to the shopping center a resting soldier stopped me and asked me to buy something for him. He gave me a small amount of money to buy this. I accepted, went to a nearby shop, bought what he wanted and brought it to him. There was a small amount of change left after I bought all the stuff. I intended to return it to him but he insisted I keep to myself. So I did. To my great surprise that was the exact amount of money I was short in the beginning, so I went on and bought for my grandmother what she had asked for.
So, don't throw away your belief and tell the world that you want to pull money into your life.

I'm excited to discover this site. I wanted to thank you for your time for this fantastic read!! I definitely loved every part of it and I have you book-marked to look at new information on your website.
Wow, nice article thanks!
Excellent article, and Steve's blog is always full of helpful hints. One thing I have learned, is that you absolutely need belief, and a sense of joy and delight at manifesting. There are some tools I have sorted out that really help. In case any of you would be interested: http://www.mindbridge-loa.com/manifesting_abundance.html
Thanks again to the poster!
And I am receiving my $15000 tonight 😀 Thanks so much O universe….
I am so amazed and impressed that mind-energy was in my pathway today. I applied the 2 step energy level increase exercise, and now more motivated to start my day!
Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually, and Physically.
Thank you. This is medicine I've needed.
Fascinating!! as i am becoming aware of the powers of thought and intent, i happen to see this happening more and more every moment. believe me or not, but this is a true story … that there was some problem in my bedroom's fan a few a days ago ..and i started to notice that the fan's speed was following my thoughts and expectations (in other words, intent) .. and i second chekced it by deliberately and consciously changing my intent … and the fan's speed followed suit almost invariably!! **WOW**
Adrian Cooper has published an article on Mind Power News where he describes the process of manifestation – creating whatever you desire.
Adrian reminds that you can be whatever you choose to be. Yet he first suggests meditating on the desire to decide i
Excellent article. You are exactly right in how our minds create. I write daily goals and put them on my mirror in the morning. Doing that makes every day amazing because I am a participant in the miracle of manifestation -and, I'm aware of it. I appreciate what you wrote and I needed to read that today, thanks! Profiler.
Thank you, profiler.
I enjoy reading your blog.

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a weekly late-night sketch comedy and variety show filmed in New York City. It made its debut on October 11, 1975, under a slightly different title. The show features a regular cast of comedy actors, joined by a guest host and musical act. The show is broadcast live in the Central and Eastern time zones (with a time delay in the Mountain Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone) from Studio 8H at the GE Building in New York's Rockefeller Center.

Muncie, IN
While fans are still awaiting the first official look at Joel Kinnaman as RoboCop in the upcoming reboot from MGM and director Jose Padilha, there have been plenty of photos snapped on the set.
Here are a few more from NewsCom posted on sites like Comic Book Movie and Collider. These images not only show off star Joel Kinnaman in the Robo armor, but also co-stars Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish and Kenneth Michael Williams.
Here's the official synopsis:
In RoboCop, the year is 2029 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex's life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.
Director José Padilha (Elite Squad) reimagines the tale of part man, part machine, all cop starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title character, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers) as media mogul Pat Novak.
Currently shooting, RoboCop also stars Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley. The film opens Aug. 9, 2013
I don't know about anyone else but I so not liking the new look. As matter a fact, I fucking hate it!
this will flop harder than total recall did
ON the upside, Michael Keaton's picture reminds of Bruce Wayne in the Dark Knight Returns.
This isn't going to be good.
Anyone who judges this film on 4 photos that reveal fuck all about the finished product is a fucking retard!!!

GOP Whip McCarthy Chides Romney On Mansion Expansion
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House's third-ranking Republican, scolded presidential candidate Mitt Romney for choosing to quadruple the size of his California mansion, saying Romney should be projecting a more humble image:
McCarthy said he wonders who told wealthy former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney now was a good time to nearly quadruple the size of his family's beach house in La Jolla. […] "He needs to stop staying in hotels and start staying with volunteers at every campaign stop," the House majority whip said. "His job should be to take out the trash every day, and if that bag breaks, he needs to clean it up."

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is headed back to Iowa, and plans to speak at the Iowa Renewable Fuel Association's annual summit in Des Moines on Jan. 25, aides to the Georgia Republican said today.
The summit, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Polk County Convention Complex in Des Moines. Gingrich is expected to speak at 11:30 a.m. Gov. Terry Branstad is also scheduled to speak.
Gingrich is the third Republican weighing a campaign for president scheduled to visit the leadoff presidential caucus state in the final 10 days of the month.
Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who last week said she is considering running, is scheduled to headline Iowans for Tax Relief's annual reception on Jan. 21 at the downtown Marriott Hotel in Des Moines.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is the third. He plans to promote his new memoir, "Courage to Stand," at events in Ankeny on Jan. 30 and in West Des Moines on Jan. 31.
A national Gallup Poll published today showed Gingrich with the second highest favorable rating among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, behind former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is the winner of the 2008 GOP Iowa caucuses.

Life I, Anonymous: It's Elementary
posted by June 27 at 10:06 AMon
For years, citizens have funneled their angst, rage, and other ugly feelings through I, Anonymous, the Stranger column devoted entirely to unsigned rants.
Recently I received a slew of I, Anonymiis from an unlikely source: an alternative elementary/middle school in Ballard, where it appears an entire class was assigned to write their own I, Anons, all of which arrived in a single envelope. I'll be sharing these with readers via the Slog over the next week or so, starting now.
Dear Sister,
You are so annoying sometimes. You are a wimp. If I accidentally hurt you, you start screaming at me. Then I will get in a lot of trouble for an accident. If you hurt me on purpose you never get in trouble. You can't take what you give people. If you are really annoying me and keep poking me, and I start poking you, you get very, very mad at me.
You also steal my stuff and don't admit it. Once I had a pack of gum and you chewed all of it. I asked you if you chewed it and you said you didn't. I asked you again and you got really mad at me. Sometimes you also steal my clothes. I will trying to find a shirt and I'll look in your room. Then I find it and I ask you why you took it. You will say you didn't and that our dad must have put it in your room.
You also get mad at me when I won't do something for you. If I am on the computer and you feel like going on it, you tell me to get off. Since you are my little sister, I don't feel like I have to, so I tell you I'm not getting off. Then you get really mad at me and start screaming at me.
You are a very annoying little sister and sometimes I get really mad at you.

We have both. Desktops take up a lot of room; kids have trouble with the mouse pad on the laptops!
We have a computer lab and a computer lab in the library for the librarian to use. The labs have full tower PC's with flat screen monitors. We also have two mobile laptop carts. The desktops are generally far less trouble. Even though we have wi-fi through the building the laptops still have occasional problems with connectin to our network. Plus I have at least three laptop that need to have their keyboards replaced.(After l year of use.)
