Linux Fest Northwest reprise
Whew. That drive from Felton-to-Bellingham-and-back gets longer and longer. But it goes without saying, of course that it's well worth it. The 14th annual Linux Fest Northwest was a success and while they take a break before getting ready for next year's event — April 26-27, 2014, at Bellingham Technical College — I'm going to make my reservation at the Hampton Inn right now so I don't forget.
A few parting random thoughts, cheap shots and bon mots:
Close, but no cigar: Bryan Lunduke, of "Linux Sucks/No It Doesn't" presentation fame (along with other hats he wears in the FOSS realm), wrote an article on Network World about how you should go to Linux shows. He is right: You should go to the nearest show to you, and his article is a definite read. I'll help Bryan out here by telling you to go to Texas Linux Fest in Austin (looks like I'll be there) on Memorial Day weekend, Southeast Linux Fest (SELF: Linux in the GNU South) in Charlotte in June, OSCON in Portland in July, and then Ohio Linux Fest usually wrapping up the year in September.
Where Bryan missed the mark in his article was here: "SCALE, itself, is similar in size to Linux Fest NW and is a solid destination, with some great speakers every year." Great speakers and solid destination? Check. But similar in size? Both shows have enjoyed a steady increase in attendance and participation for the last several years, which is a huge testament to the work put in by the volunteer-based organizations behind both shows. Further, the improvements made to Bellingham Technical College are nothing short of outstanding. However, Linux Fest Northwest doesn't enjoy the same advantages that SCALE has in being in a major metropolitan area based at a hotel located within range of a Matt Kemp home run from a major international airport. That said — and this is certainly not to take anything away from Linux Fest Northwest, which is a great show — SCALE is a somewhat larger show with around 100 exhibitors and more than 90 speakers. I'm not tweaking LFNW's nose, so to speak, I just wanted to correct this.
On the expo floor: Regardless of the show's size, it's always great to see new people and old friends. CrunchBang had the great luck in geography of being next to the main LFNW table, so I had a chance to catch up with Bill Wright and the other show folks at length. We also had the privilege of having the LFNW totem in the corner behind us as well. The attendance for the event was pretty high, and I would guess that it's around 1,400 judging by the degree of folks coming to the CrunchBang booth during presentations and between them. The steady stream of folks regardless of the time of day was a promising sign and speaks to the strength of the show.
Bellingham Technical College FTW: BTC has always been a great host for Linux Fest Northwest, and the improvements in the building this year — both in the classrooms and in the auditorium which hosted the expo floor — made the show go from great to outstanding. As a speaker, it was great to use top-notch AV equipment for which I didn't have to sacrifice a chicken to the projector gods for my presentation to work (NOTE: No chickens, or any other animals or humans, have ever been harmed in my appeals to any diety in allowing my presentations to work). The expo floor itself was spacious — at least on our side — and I didn't hear any complaints from any of the vendors about the show.
Et cetera: As you may recall from yesterday's blog item, I had the great misfortune to stay at the Econolodge this year. Next to the hotel is the Slo-Pitch sports bar, which has about 40 screens showing different sports (30 of them, I swear, were tuned Seattle Sounders football, er, soccer) along with food. Note to the cook: A tuna melt is given that name because it has a certain quality about it, like, what's it called? Oh yeah, cheese . . . . Thanks, OrangeFS, for the great swag — great as in lens cleaners for those of us wearing glasses, that is . . . . Great to see the following: Deb Nicholson, as always; Scott Dowdle and Gary Bummer, both coming in from the Big Sky country's Montana LUG; everyone at the Fedora booth (Robyn Bergeron, Ian Weller and Adam Williamson — a lot of distro/programming brain power in that group); Ross Brunson of Linux Professional Institute; Red Hat's Thomas Cameron and his three presentations; OSU Open Source Lab's Lance Albertson and his three presentations (OK, two-and-a-half); Bill Wright and all the other LFNW crew, who put together this great show; David Whitman of Hacker Public Radio, always keeping everyone informed; Owen DeLong, the pied piper of IPv6 who fills up rooms with those wishing to learn about the new Internet Protocol; David Nalley, albeit briefly; and probably several I'm forgetting (if I didn't mention you, it was good to see you but my memory is not . . . what was I saying again?).
How not to do things: Completely unrelated to the greatness that was LFNW this year, I encountered a personality who visited the booth who was new to this kind of thing (or so it seemed) and who is desperately in need of some attitude adjusting. That will come in a later post.
All in all, it was a great show. Thanks to everyone involved, and I'm definitely in for 2014.

Once again, Linux Fest Northwest nails it
[Warning: This will be a long post. For those of you with limited attention spans, for those of you who are too lazy to read, or for those who can't process more than 140 characters at a time, here's the TL:DR version of this blog item: Linux Fest Northwest was enormously outstanding and awesome (attendance is up, too), the CrunchBang booth was a huge success, the CrunchBang talk was well attended, and I stand by the statement I made to Hacker Public Radio last year: This show is so great, I'd walk to Bellingham from California to attend.]
Blame the Econolodge in Bellingham, which should be renamed "the Black Hole of the Internet," for the complete absence of workable wireless connectability which causes me to compress two fantastic days of FOSS festivities into one blog item written after the fact from the Motel 6 in Salem, Oregon (it should be noted that, unlike the Econolodge, the wireless at both Motel 6 venues we stayed at — in Medford, Oregon, on the way up and here in Salem on the way back — has been quite good).
All of which is to say I apologize for the delay in getting this out.
In short, Linux Fest Northwest nailed it this weekend — the LFNW all-volunteer crew had everything up and running flawlessly in a revamped show area courtesy of some remodeling by Bellingham Technical College that included a auditorium that made for an oustanding expo hall and classrooms with world-class electronics (meaning, of course, my presentation worked with a limited amount of pre-talk tweaking at the outset augmented by prayers to the projector gods).
The normal tsunami of attendees came through the expo floor around 9ish on Saturday, bringing with it the usual hubbub of Linux fest questions, comments and observations. At the CrunchBang booth, media and fliers flew off the table, and folks were trying out the distro on both the old ThinkPad T30 and the newer Toshiba Satellite L455 that were featured on the CrunchBang table. The ebb and flow of humanity — I'm guessing around 1,400 attendees, though LFNW is going to release an official figure soon — rose and fell when sessions were on, but on the whole it was an ideal show for the two days. We ran out of media, fliers and everything by the end of the day on Sunday (OK, I gave the remaining five CrunchBang DVDs to the Greater Seattle LUG, but still).
Some vignettes:
Hey, I know you: I finally got to meet Benjamin Kerensa, with whom I have shared words — mostly kind but occasionally not-so-kind — in the past. Benjamin and his wife staffed the Mozilla table, and it was great to put a face to the name of a true FOSS advocate with whom I can sometimes disagree without either of us being disagreeable (as it should be). Naturally, I'm looking forward to seeing Benjamin and Mozilla at more shows.
Badges? You need steeenkin' badges: Most folks would find this trivial, but I thought it was fairly cool. The badges for LFNW were small booklets with the speaker schedule printed inside, along with other important information (like directions to the party on Saturday eve). So at the end of your lanyard, you had the entire fest at your fingertips just by looking "inside" your badge (it should be noted, from a logistical standpoint too, that the names were printed on a sticker and put on the badge). Other shows — SCALE, white courtesy phone — need to look at this because it was very helpful.
Lights, camera, action: For some reason, there tended to be a lot of folks there to do media-type work. Hacker Public Radio was there, as usual, doing interviews (of which I was one — thanks!) and Jupiter Broadcasting had the Linux Action Show broadcasting live from their booth on Saturday — it would be interesting to see their take on the show later. Slashdot had an interviewer as well as some independents (e.g., people with video cameras posting independently to YouTube) interviewing folks, and of course I've never shied away from a microphone or a camera before. So there are some items of me talking about CrunchBang out there.
This is us: The CrunchBang booth was an unqualified success in large part from the help I got from xor axiom, whom many of you on the CrunchBang forums know (but whose real name is Eric Bortel). About 100 pieces of media were distributed, with the same amount of fliers accompanying them. Last year, we got a lot of "What's CrunchBang?" This year, there was more "I've used CrunchBang before . . . " so the distro is becoming more well-known. The presentation itself on Sunday morning had about 30 people in attendance and, as the aforementioned new equipment in the classroom helping out, the presentation went off without a hitch.
Sunday's broadcast: Since Jupiter Broadcasting left the building on Sunday, I decided to crank up one of my favorite Linux podcasts — Linux Outlaws — on the Toshiba to show that, yes, CrunchBang can broadcast with the best of 'em. So on the relatively solid backbone of the Bellingham Technical College's network, Dan Lynch and Fabian "Go Penguins!" Scherschel were in the house for Linux Fest Northwest.
Does this joke make me look stupid? OK, maybe it was the delivery or maybe it's a generational thing. At the end of my presentation I made a point, as I usually do, to say what a great show LFNW is and to thank the volunteers when encountering them for making the show work. The LFNW volunteer staff wears red shirts (you know where I'm going with this). After I asked folks to thank the volunteers, I added " . . . and urge them not to go down to the planet surface." Cue crickets chirping. So maybe I won't be here all week, but still remember to tip your waitress . . .
There is more to follow (including a rant that has more to do with the human condition than with LFNW), but I have to hit the road.

North by (Linux Fest) Northwest
Toward the end of this week — well, Thursday to be exact — I'll be loading up the car with a few laptops, about 100 pieces of CrunchBang media (DVDs, not CDs), a paper #! banner, my daughter and her equipment and we'll head north to Linux Fest Northwest in Bellingham, Washington on April 27-28.
The question now is whether I have the time to swing by Corvallis, Oregon, and maybe stop in to visit Lance Albertson and the folks at both the Oregon State University Open Source Lab and the EECS department at Oregon State on Friday morning . . . .
As those of you who regularly read this blog already know, I say with annoying redundancy that the best Linux/FOSS show in North America is the Southern California Linux Expo. I would say that even if I was not affiliated with it, because it is — an all-volunteer staff puts together a three-day show that clearly rivals the corporate FOSS kumbaya in Portland every summer known as OSCON.
In its 14th year, LFNW is built from the same all-volunteer blueprint; in fact, the folks who put on this fest may claim credit for having a significant hand in drawing up the blueprint since it slightly predates SCALE. This blueprint also is used with other Linux/FOSS events around the country: Indiana Linux Fest, Texas Linux Fest, Ohio Linux Fest . . . the list goes on.
So LFNW is by us for us, and with the attendance growing every year — last year it was around 1,200 for the weekend event — I am always looking forward to going to it. Last year, I said I'd walk to Bellingham to make it to LFNW and I stand by that statement. In short, the show is that good.
I'll be staffing the CrunchBang booth at LFNW. We also have a Birds of a Feather gathering scheduled for Saturday afternoon and I speak on Sunday at 11 a.m. on "Intro to CrunchBang." Due to a scheduling conflict with CrunchBang lead developer Philip Newborough, unfortunately we won't be having him present remotely at the BoF as we did last year.
Last year, flying the CrunchBang flag was quite successful, as I noted here. Many were surprised that we had a booth, some had never heard of CrunchBang (heresy!) and others were glad to see us there. We even got a couple of new users who tried CrunchBang and liked it. Now if I can get another interview on Hacker Public Radio, we'll be all set.
Watch this space — updates as they develop.

In a festive mood
I'll be there. You should be there, too. As well as at the other events mentioned below — go to a Linux fest at a location near you.
If it's Thursday morning and it's 8ish in the morning, it must be The White Raven, home of Larry's (not me) Famous Chai, and at 8ish, it gives me another chance to blog before taking on the rest of the Redwood Digital world at 9ish
Someone asked me yesterday, "Hey, Larry the Free Software Guy — Why are you posting a link to Linux Fest Northwest on your blog when it's a few months away? What about those events that are coming up?"
That's a good question that deserves a good answer, and hopefully this will suffice, so bear with me for a short introduction.
Leading up to the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 9X, I had a link and a logo for that show. As far as community-run expos go, SCALE is probably the best one of the year, and not only that, SCALE rivals the O'Reilly-run OSCON as perhaps the best show of the year. Without a doubt, SCALE is certainly the better value due to the cost to attend. For a crew of volunteers to put on a highly professional show like SCALE is a testament to the power of community
[Two things: A truth in advertising moment — I am a SCALE staffer, a co-chair of the publicity committee, but even if I wasn't somewhat partial to SCALE for that reason, it's still an outstanding show and a huge credit to those who put in the work to make it happen, and happen successfully year in and year out. Secondly, OSCON is an outstanding show and O'Reilly's staff does an outstanding job in putting on this expo as well, and my preference to SCALE reflects the high quality of the SoCal show and does not reflect any shortcoming by the folks who put on OSCON, as blog items in the past have attested to how much I like going to Portland in July.]
So the questioner is right — there are two shows coming up that deserve special mention, as well as your attendance if you're within walking/bus/train/driving/flying distance of them.
Back home again in Indiana, the Indiana Linux Fest, kicks off its inaugural event. According to its site, ILF "is a community F/OSS conference, which is showcasing the best the community has to offer in the way of Free and Open Source Software, Open Hardware, and Free Culture. We are also highlighting the best and brightest from all of these communities from the hobbyist to professional level." ILF is being held March 25-27 at the Wyndam Indianapolis West, and it's free.
Texas Linux Fest is April 2 in Austin. In its second year, TXLF made the excellent call in making Ken Starks its keynoter this year. With the HeliOS Project in Austin, Ken's been doing great things and it's about time he's getting the recognition in FOSS circles for walking the walk while talking the talk in getting Linux boxes into the hands of people to use — in the HeliOS Project's case, it's underprivileged kids.
Both shows have outstanding lineups of speakers and sessions, and frankly I wish I could make both of them. It's almost worth playing hooky and going to Austin, just to heckle Ken from the cheap seats; don't worry, Ken, I'll resist the temptation.
But it's worth your while to make the trip to either of these shows, depending on which is more geographically expedient for you. Make the reservation now.
Meanwhile, at the end of April, you can find me at Linux Fest Northwest. If you're making that one, I will surely see you there.

It's Friday, I'm in love
Ah, love! The Cure's song that carries today's blog title bounces gently off the walls of the office while I think about the things I love about GNU/Linux (or Linux, if you're so inclined).
Like . . .

GSA Expands Online Contract Tools That Support 'Get It Right" Campaign
This content is kept online for historical reference and is no longer updated. Links may be broken and content may be inaccurate and/or out of date.
November 26, 2004
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) plans to add three online schedule solicitations next year, after successfully issuing its first electronic contract and contract modification, GSA announced today.
GSA expects to develop and post the new electronic schedule solicitations by Sept. 30, 2005.
Accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, GSA's electronic tools make government more efficient and effective. They save time and money for government and industry, by eliminating the need for paper, faxes and delivery services. Equally important, they support GSA's effort to help federal contracting officers and vendors comply with federal contract regulations, a key component of GSA's "Get It Right" campaign.
GSA's Digital Certificates ensure Internet security for vendors and federal contracting officers, as they exchange data on eOffer and eMod.
eOffer posts information technology solicitations and accepts vendor proposals, including documentation, electronically. eMod issues contract modifications to GSA Federal Supply Service Schedule contractors electronically. Secure electronic signatures complete the eOffer and eMod processes.
In September, GSA used eOffer to award a paperless contract to Dell Federal Systems LP of Round Rock, Texas, and used eMod to issue a paperless modification to IBM Corp. LP of Armonk, N.Y.
Information on eOffer and eMod is available by calling (866) 472-9114, by sending an email to email@example.com and by visiting GSA's eTools Web page.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management and policy agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. GSA acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. It also plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies. GSA's 13,000 associates provide services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings the government owns and leases in 2,000 U.S. communities.

I may just sit on my JB right through iOS7 as well. It would take some awesome new features the JB's can't currently do, to get me to upgrade. If everything works whats the point of putting a larger iOS on my phone only to likely slow it down :P
But I agree to wait for a larger iOS release. 6.1.3 would most definitely be a huge waste.
I'm happy with iOS6.1.2. See you iOS7. And thanks to evasi0n team!
i have 3gs new botroom... i have saved the Blobs for 6.1.2 ... can i untethered jb with snowbreeze now? i need custom firmwares... redsn0w doesnt support iOS6 custom firmware as i need to preserve my baseband... im currently on 5.1.1 cause im sure 3gs wont get ios 7
Good thing they are waiting this time. I'm sitting on 6.1.2 on my 4s until 7 is jailbreakable. As for my 4, if it is 7 capable I will be upgrading that through beta unlock work-arounds. Can't wait to see all of the new overhauls to come with 7.
If it was saved from Cydia's server, then you cannot restore back to 6.1.2 as it contains invalid APTickets.
With all due respect and empathy for my friends stuck at 6.1.3, this is a very wise move on the dev's part. Us waiting so long for each jailbreak is really hard and gets people very impatient. To practically be able to release a jailbreak shortly after iOS 7 comes out is a fantastic idea. Keep in mind the new iPhone should be out in early summer this time (their original release dates for iPhone upgrades). That's only a couple months away now.
I don't even miss a jb and iOS has implemented most of the features I used it for in the past.
I'm on 6.1.3 after just getting the 5 2 weeks ago. It was on 6.0.1 and the signing window was closed for me.

I designed a wordpress site for a high school and although I have left working on it, the person that has taken over has come to me for advice from time to time. This website was my first and it ran for over a year with no problems.
However, recently my collegue discovered that strange meta tags being displayed when searching for the site on bing and now some pages are being blocked by the work security websense. Going into the ftp and viewing the pages we have discovered this code is being run.
<snip>This is in lots of the pages hidden. My collegue has deleted this code from most of the pages yesterday but has found that it has returned this morning. I also installed Better WP Security and OSE Firewall last week after the problems started. I set up the E-Mail alerts. Only last night between 22:30 last night and 09:00 this morning I have received 915 firewall alerts.

I have no idea if this is normal or something to be worried about. Really not sure where to go from here? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi ColdAsIce and welcome to the forums.
I don't use WP, so I can't help directly with that. However, we had a recent thread on a similar theme which might help: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?866712-My-Site-s-Been-Hacked!
If you haven't already done so, then change all the passwords for the site and make sure you use strong passwords.

If you haven't already done so, then change all the passwords for the site and make sure you use strong passwords.
What version of wp is it running? Has it been updated to the latest version? If any plugins/mods are used, have they also been updated?
Hacks often occur because people are running older versions with known vulnerabilities that are exploited by hackers or automated bots.
Two things:
What CoastWeb said (keep WP updated ... IMMEDIATELY ... OR suffer the consequences).
Be sure to use VERY STRONG passwords for your ADMIN account (WP admin). Now that you've been hacked, be sure that you don't have other accounts with admin permissions. Finally, WHY use admin as the admin's directory name? Security by obfuscation is hardly any security at all but you don't need to make things easier for hackers, either.
When hackers get into an account, they often place backdoors in various places so that they can get back in if the original exploit is discovered. There are a number of ways this hosting account could have been compromised. It could occur at the host level, a vulnerability in some software the host is running, the result of the account holder using an insecure password, or an insecure, outdated version of Wordpress or some other type of script running on the account.
When your account gets hacked, about the only thing you can do is start fresh. Delete all the old files and reinstall with backups you know are clean. Every webmaster should keep his or her own backups. With a database-driven site like Wordpress, you also have to worry about iframes and javascript being embedded into posts by the hacker. You will have to check for that, too, especially in this case where the hacker is embedding HTML into output.
Ditto all of the above. You might also try Wordfence Security. Specially designed for Wordpress sites.
You can download it here, or search for the plugin in the WP control panel.
wordpress is opensource and easy for hackers to hack u should check tip here wp security techniques.
Hide your wordpress version (Delete the readme.html too)Prevent wordpress directory browsingCheck the permissions
Wordfence and Exploit Scanner plugins will be helpful.
As the OP has not returned in over two months, I think we can safely close this thread.
Thanks to all who took the trouble to respond.

Happy Thanksgiving, all! What a wonderful holiday: a time to reflect and give thanks for experience, friends, family, health, new beginnings, and more. I value the holidays because it forces you to slow down and reflect. In past holiday seasons, this hasn't always been a pleasant experience for my family- especially in years where close family members passed away. Nevertheless, I think it is vital to slow down and find gratitude,
regardless of circumstance.
And with that, I would like to say "thank you", to a community of people who brighten my day, encourage me, make me laugh, and continually challenge me to do better. I am so grateful! Sharing with you my thoughts, inspiration, and work on a daily basis is an intimate act, and I value it dearly.
I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and valuable time with friends and family today.
Enjoy the turkey and don't think twice about having another slice of pumpkin pie.

Video: what can AudioControl gear do for my car audio system?
Make it sound good
Charlie Pastorfield writes about car audio for Crutchfield. Raised in Connecticut and the U.S. Virgin Islands, he graduated from the University of Virginia, but was having way too much fun to leave Charlottesville. After a long, beautiful career touring the East Coast from Boston to Atlanta as a professional guitarist (Skip Castro Band, The Believers), he married Emilie, had two daughters (Morgan and Emma), and got his first full-time job at Crutchfield. Still an extremely active musician, he's now a member of The Gladstones, a 4-piece group that plays just about anything, and Mama Tried, a 4-piece band that plays early Grateful Dead.
More from Charlie Pastorfield
Crutchfield car A/V editor and longtime musician Charlie put a new system in his convertible a little while back, and while his sound vastly improved it was missing something at first. After tuning his system with AudioControl, he could turn it up without any distortion. In this video, he tells us his story.

Donate to the Epilepsy Foundation now to support new therapies research. http://t.co/AiAlSDwS5Y pic.twitter.com/Hv7G8QM55U— Epilepsy Foundation (@EpilepsyFdn) July 13, 2015
More than a third of the 3 million people living with epilepsy in the United States have persistent seizures using existing therapies. Many others tolerate serious side effects, including diminished cognition, as a price for seizure control. New therapies introduced over the last decade offer fewer side effects but have done little to bring effective seizure control to the significant population living with active and uncontrolled epilepsy.
Despite this serious unmet medical need, research funding for epilepsy is scarce and existing philanthropic support limited. Further, many major pharmaceutical companies have scaled back epilepsy development programs. As a result, successful lab research and new findings are rarely translated into new epilepsy therapy.
The Epilepsy Foundation works to overcome the barriers to successful translation of promising new research insights and to make new therapies a reality now for people with seizures. We provide financial support and scientific and business direction to promising new therapies, and we invest in programs and platforms that can take time and costs out of new therapy development.

Untested Forensic 'Rape' Kit Application for Crime Victim Compensation Counseling Benefits
Post-Conviction Compensation Benefits
Information for Medical Providers
Every year, hundreds of people in Oregon are seriously injured or killed due to crime. In addition to psychological and physical trauma, victims and their families often incur unanticipated medical expenses, counseling and other costs and loss of income. In homicide cases, families suffer emotional grief, loss of financial support and funeral costs.
In the aftermath of a crime, the Oregon Crime Victim's Compensation Program works to ease the financial burden suffered by victims and their family members. Types of benefits include:
If you believe you are eligible for compensation, please complete and submit the form below to:
Crime Victims' Compensation Program Department of Justice 1162 Court St. NE Salem, Oregon 97301-4096 Telephone (503) 378-5348 TDD (503) 378-5938 FAX (503) 378-5738
An application may also be obtained from your local District Attorney's Victim Assistance Program.
Additional compensation may be available to you if your case continues into the post-conviction process. Learn more about DOJ's Post-Conviction Advocacy Program.
Compensation benefits are available to victims from the state in which the crime occurred. If you are the victim of a crime that occurred outside of Oregon please visit the National Association of Crime Victims Compensation Boards for information about compensation programs in other states.
For more information please refer to the frequently asked questions or contact the Oregon Crime Victims Compensation Program at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-800-503-7983.
Application for Crime Victims Compensation - This application is for crime victims and family members of crime victims who believe they are eligible for and would like to receive compensation for unanticipated medical expenses, counseling and other costs and loss of income that occurred as a direct result of a crime.
Solicitud De Indemnización Para Víctimas De Crímenes
Compensation through the Oregon Crime Victims' Compensation Program varies on a case-by case basis. Qualified applicants may be able to receive up to:
Adult victims must use their claim within three years after the date the claim was accepted. Family members of homicide victims must use claims for counseling within five years after the date their claim was accepted. Claims for child victims remain open until their 21st birthday or for three years after it was accepted, whichever is longer.
No. Compensable losses do not include property damage or loss. Additionally, pain and suffering or nervous or mental shock are not compensable through the Crime Victims Compensation Program.
No. Accidental injury or death, or that which results from the victim's own wrong-doing, provocation or contributory behavior is not eligible for compensation through the Crime Victims Compensation Program.
If the crime occurred before the Oregon Crime Victims' Compensation Program became effective in January 1978, the victim is not eligible for compensation.
The Crime Victims' Compensation Program will process each application for compensation received. This requires obtaining police reports, medical reports and other information necessary to make a determination. An individual's benefits, such as sick leave, medical disability, Social Security, or restitution, are considered resources that must be used before Crime Victims' Compensation dollars.
The Crime Victims' Compensation Program is usually able to notify applicants in writing within 90 days after the application is received at the Crime Victims' Services Division.
Yes, but compensation may be deferred if the victim is incarcerated or owes money for a criminal conviction.
Any money recovered for the injury after compensation has been paid must be repaid to the Crime Victims' Compensation Program.
Yes. By law, Crime Victims' Compensation is the payer of last resort. That means that prior to billing Crime Victims' Compensation, you must use your resources such as private medical insurance, OHP, automobile insurance, Personal Injury Protection, disability insurance and sick pay. Also, if you have medical insurance, you must see a participating provider.
Compensation benefits are paid to victims by the state where the crime occurred. If you are the victim of a crime that occurred outside of Oregon, please visit the National Association of Crime Victims' Compensation Boards for information about compensation programs in that state.

LONG BEACH - Worn-out medians along Atherton Street will get a makeover starting in March.
The City Council voted last week to approve an $857,140 contract to overhaul the medians on a 1.5-mile stretch of Atherton between Bellflower Boulevard and Studebaker Road.
The project has been in line for federal grant funds administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for about five years, said Director of Public Works Mike Conway.
The grant, now disbursed, will pay for $654,728 of the cost, officials said. The city is expected to contribute $202,412 in matching funds for the project, which will take about six months.
Currently, some median islands in the project area are paved and others are landscaped.
Plans call for recasting the medians in a more uniform manner by removing and replacing trees, installing drought-resistant plants, building new curbs and gutters and installing a subsurface irrigation system that increases efficiency by dripping water onto vegetation instead of spraying.
Decorative concrete on the medians will also use recycled, tumbled blue glass.
"We're looking to provide consistency to this stretch," Conway said.
Councilman Patrick O'Donnell, who represents the area, said the medians project is a continuation of improvements that started with filling the infamous Atherton Ditch.
The ditch was an open culvert that for more than 50 years ran along Atherton Street from Cal State Long Beach to Los Cerritos Channel. A two-year, $3 million project to install an underground drainage pipe and landscape the surface was finished in 2010.
While the Atherton Street medians are not quite as unseemly as the ditch, O'Donnell said aesthetics isn't the only reason to redo them.
"The concrete's lifted up over the years," O'Donnell said. "It's not only unsightly, it's unsafe."

If the BP oil spill disaster will teach us anything in the world of naming and branding, it's that a brand name is just as fragile an ecosystem as a pristine beach or the Everglades. It takes one really big, uncontainable spill to pollute and destroy it.
Laura Ries identified BP's "brand problem" earlier this month, saying bluntly (even for her), "The spill in the Gulf has pulled the curtain off of a company that has been blowing smoke up our butts for years. No consumer, regulator or politician will soon forget this tragedy" and concluding with,
Strong brands with a reputation for quality, safety and honesty are able to survive even the worst tragedies and negative PR stories. Toyota, Tylenol and Goldman Sachs have faced some dark days recently, but for them the future is still bright because the brands are strong. For BP, not so much. A brand with a poor reputation facing one of the worst oil spills ever is damaged goods. No amount of advertising can fix this. Anything BP says will no longer be believed. You can fool us once, but never again.
The names coming out of this spill are always going to, er, stick to the brand. Think "Oil Spill," "Top Kill" and "Junk Shot."
But from a branding perspective, things have gotten far worse. Aside from the terrible PR this is generating, the Internet is busy tearing up the BP brand name.
24/7 already has a joke article up saying that BP is planning on changing its name. But many a truth is said in jest, because this brand name is now mud. Quite literally.
Right now, its product is "environmental destruction," according to Edward Boches at Creativity Unbound. And the company's PR people are now dealing with a rogue Twitterer at @BPGlobalPR who now has a whopping 54,000 followers and whose satirical, bitter tweets ("Thousands of people are attacked by sea creatures every year. We at BP are dedicated to bringing that number down. You're welcome") are getting retweeted every second. Never mind that this guy, whoever he is, has more followers that BP's real Twitter feed @BP_America or its Oil Spill @Oil_Spill_2010 Twitter feed, the WSJ already has picked up the story with almost palpable schadenfreude.
Add to this Greenpeace's competition to actually rebrand BP (BP= British Polluters, and that's just one of the milder ones, there's also "Bad People" and "Broken Promises" and "Bloody Pillagers"). And for those of us who do not spend all day online, there are literally companies cashing in by selling tote bags, shorts and coffee mugs with satirical BP taglines like "We're bringing oil to American shores."
The damage that BP has done to our coastline is incredible. In return, the damage the Internet is doing to BP's brand name is incalculable.

(NEWSER) – Pope Francis announced today he would meet soon with a group of sex abuse victims at the Vatican and declared "zero tolerance" for any member of the clergy who would violate a child. Francis also revealed that three bishops are currently under investigation by the Vatican for abuse-related reasons, though it wasn't clear if they were accused of committing abuse itself or of having covered it up. "There are no privileges," he told reporters en route back to Rome from Jerusalem.

Obama Is Giving Up Some Executive Power, and He'll Still Get No Credit
Predictably, everyone is unimpressed by the measures Barack Obama has announced to bring a little ray of transparency to America's surveillance programs.The New York Times editorialized that the president's proposed changes "only tinker around the edges" of our "abusive" surveillance programs. I wouldn't argue that the proposals will fundamentally remake the surveillance state. But nevertheless, I think it's pretty remarkable that a president, any president, announced, without absolutely being forced to, a series of steps that relinquish some degree of executive power. Of course he'll get no credit for that, because civil libertarians tend to be absolutists and other liberals tend to be afraid or even terrified of their wrath. Why this is so tells us some important things about contemporary liberalism.
First, what Obama said. Don't get me wrong. I'm hardly jumping up and down that the National Security Agency is going to have a full-time civil liberties and privacy officer. But two of Obama's other recommendations might have some bite. Reforming Section 215 of the Patriot Act, depending on the definition of the word "reform" that Congress settles on—frightening, as we know—is potentially a big deal. Section 215, which vastly expanded the FBI's ability to spy on American citizens in a number of ways, has long been the section of the act, or at least one of the sections, of greatest concern to the civil-liberties lobby. It's under 215 that the government is collecting all those telephone records. Obama wasn't terribly specific in his remarks on Friday; he just said he'll work with Congress "to put in place greater oversight, greater transparency, and constraints on the use of this authority." Even so, it would be the first narrowing of the Patriot Act since its passage.
The idea for having an adversarial presence at Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court hearings is potentially even a bigger deal. A special court system set up in the United States of America in which the judge hears only the government's side of the story, FISC has always been a case where a bright line was crossed. It's. There's just no way that's acceptable, and correcting it would end a blatantly (to me) unconstitutional practice.
As I was listening to these remarks, I kept thinking to myself about this paradox. No, they were not "bold and sweeping" proposals. At the same time, it sure seemed to me like this was the first time in my adult life I'd ever heard a sitting president propose checks on his administration that he didn't have to offer. And Obama didn't have to offer these. He was facing some political pressure, but polls have been pretty consistent in showing that a solid majority of the American public comes down on the side of what we might call controlled surveillance.
There was no mortal threat to his presidency here. Yet even so, he took a couple steps away from the imperial presidency. I think that's the first time since the presidency became imperial—after World War II, more or less—such a thing has happened. And Obama was, as he claimed Friday, headed down this course before the Snowden leaks. Those began on June 5. But on May 23, he gave a speech at the National Defense University in which he foreshadowed the moves he just announced. Combine all this with John Kerry's recent announcement that we have a plan for ending drone strikes in Pakistan, and you might have thought liberals would be cheering.

SEAFAIR Haven Festival returns to Pembrokeshire next month for its fifth year.
The biennial maritime event which takes place next month between June 7 and 14, gives traditional and classic vessels the opportunity to enjoy the Milford Haven Waterway.
The event is organised by the Tall Ships (Wales) Trust with the support of the Port of Milford Haven and other local businesses. The Trust aims to provide sailing opportunities for young people and to support events that provide sail training opportunities.
This year around sixty traditional boats and vessels from all over the UK and across Europe are scheduled to arrive in the Haven for the week-long festival. The larger vessels will port in Milford Haven Marina whilst the smaller vessels will be based in Lawrenny.
As well as attracting vessels into the county from across the globe, the festival is also an opportunity to occupy visitors while holidaying in Pembrokeshire. Across the week a number of activities have been organised to tie in with the event including BBQs, music, exhibitions and walks.
Maudie Hughes, Chief Executive of Pembrokeshire Tourism, said the festival is a great benefit to the tourism economy, and provided a great experience for visitors and locals.
"With something for everyone, whether they are an experienced sailor, or a spectator, it is a great event and attracts a great number of visitors to the area," she said.

Belly pains
I had some pains all around my belly, for 3 days during the 29th week, and I don't know what to think about them. I didn't have those kind of pains before and after 3 days they have stopped. I want to mention that I've been coughing for some weeks when this happened. Do you know what this could be? They were inside pains, not only one place but spread around my belly, and I could not associate them with anything (not stomach, not other internal organs, not baby kicking or moving).
Thank you,

Hi Anna,
I don't know what the pains could have been associated with. I don't really think it was related to the coughing if you had been coughing for a few weeks before it happened.
It could just be that things are stretching as baby is starting to put on more weight now, and your placenta is growing and you are carrying more fluids, etc.
I hope you have a good relationship with your midwife or doctor and that you feel you can call them anytime for insight. Sometimes pains are just stretching pains and really don't mean much... and other times, pains can be indicative of a problem.
Sorry I couldn't be more help on this one.
Warm Regards,

All equipment dealers are strongly encouraged to attend this year's GIE-EXPO October 23-25, 2013 in Louisville, KY. NAEDA will once again play a prominent role in the preeminent event for the outdoor power equipment industry. GIE-EXPO again kicks off with Dealer Day, specifically for dealers and distributors only on Wednesday, October 23. The exhibit floor will be open from 3 pm to 7 pm. Check out the video to hear what dealers and suppliers are saying about this dealer only event.
As part of the Dealer Day activities there will be a special Dealer Summit for dealers. This highly relevant lunch-and-learn program for dealers and distributors will include a session unveiling new research about buying and attitude trends to help dealers be more effective in reaching top contractors. The seminar also will include a panel discussion on important developments like diversification, marketing, social media and sales management. Attendees will receive a full copy of the report, which will be presented by GIE Media, the publishers of Lawn & Landscape, Golf Course Industry and Green Industry Supply Chain News magazines.
That presentation will set the stage for an incisive panel discussion featuring leaders from major manufacturing partners including Toro, American Honda, Hustler Turf and Briggs and Stratton. Topics will include how dealers fit into the future for these companies, how the companies plan to use online sales in the future, compatibility of electronic communications and billing systems and, of course, how they are responding to the challenge of E15. The panel discussion will be moderated by longtime industry leader Kim Rominger of NAEDA. Rominger is the executive vice president of Association Management Group and one of 16 association executives associated with the North American Equipment Dealers Association, which is helping organize the Summit.

Thilani Abeysinghe <a.thilani at gmail.com>
The purpose of this tutorial is to illustrate how to use jinterface for communicating with an Erlang backend.Here discussed how RPC Calls(Remote Procedure Calls) are made from java.
The reader is also encouraged to read the mailing list question.It's about 'Strategies to connect from Java' Refer Erlang Manual for more details on jinterface
This tutorial demonstrates how to communicate with an Erlang process (node) using a Java program For this example java 1.5.0_07 and Erlang OTP12B distribution is used.
PartOne : Erlang Backend
First we need to have a erlang process (node)to communicate with Java program. If we are going to connect to an existing erlang node. we need to know the name of the Erlang node and the cookie. Otherwise we can create an Erlang node. In windows we can create a erlang node by using the command prompt try the command.
werl -sname enode -setcookie erlang
For Linux
erl -sname enode -setcookie erlang
PartTwo : Connect Using Java
Let's connect to Erlang node 'enode' using java programm
import com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpConnection; import com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpErlangObject; import com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpPeer; import com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpSelf; public class ErlConnection { private static OtpConnection conn; public OtpErlangObject received; private final String peer; private final String cookie; public static void main(String []args){ new ErlConnection("enode","erlang"); } public ErlConnection(String _peer, String _cookie) { peer = _peer; cookie = _cookie; connect(); /*Do Calls to Rpc methods and then close the connection*/ disconnect(); } private void connect() { System.out.print("Please wait, connecting to "+peer+"....\n"); String javaClient ="java"; try { OtpSelf self = new OtpSelf(javaClient, cookie.trim()); OtpPeer other = new OtpPeer(peer.trim()); conn = self.connect(other); System.out.println("Connection Established with "+peer+"\n"); } catch (Exception exp) { System.out.println("connection error is :" + exp.toString()); exp.printStackTrace(); } } public void disconnect() { System.out.println("Disconnecting...."); if(conn != null){ conn.close(); } System.out.println("Successfuly Disconnected"); } }
You need to have OtpErlang.jar in your class path.Which comes with Erlang distribution. Now Compile and run the class.You will see a output like
Please wait, connecting to enode.... Connection Established with enode Disconnecting.... Successfuly Disconnected

Scooting your hips in the guard is a skill that comes with time. There are many armbars from the guard, some of which don't need much hip movement so maybe your better off sticking with them early on.
Hopefully soon we can get some techniques on our site showing armbars, there are only a few at the moment.

Interviewer: What would you say about the global crisis throughout the world?
Adnan Oktar: NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO TURKEY. Nothing will happen to Turkish Islamic countries. On the contrary, there will be prosperity and abundance in those places. Here comes the age of abundance and prosperity Insha'Allah. By the leave of Allah we enter the Golden Age. Turkish countries will be happy, joyful and live in comfort. These crises are temporary indeed. They do not actually affect us but we of course do not want America be affected because of the crisis. We do not want the Christians to be in dire straits. We do our utmost regarding that Insha'Allah

It's Gavin Jewell's birthday today, and the Cope Middle School sixth-grader's mind is going in a dozen directions.
He is turning 12 on the 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year of the 21st century - which is 12 backward, as if he needed any more.
And that's a lot of 12s.
"I'm excited," he said. "It's fun to think about it."
Gavin's grandmother, Sandy Johnson of Redlands, said the numerical convergence occurred to Gavin's mom, Carrie, about a year ago, and the family has been looking forward to Gavin's birthday ever since.
"We didn't think about it when he was born," said Johnson, who cares for Gavin and his sister Kaelyn and their cousins Nathan and Ethan after school. "When it came to our attention, we knew we couldn't just let it go by. It's a special day - only once per century."
Looking at another possible 12 for the lineup, Gavin said he will take a moment at noon today - he will be in Matt Klemm's English and social-studies classroom at that time - to contemplate what will be at that moment a quintet of 12s. Gavin has also heard that there is to be an announcement of his special birthday in the Cope Middle School paper. His family is taking him out to Lucille's for ribs, and then to Farrell's for ice cream and trampolining.
Gavin, the son of Mike and Carrie Johnson, is a third-generation Redlands native. His grandfather, Doug Johnson, graduated from Redlands High School, as did Gavin's mother.
In 2000, the year Gavin was born, the population of San Bernardino and Riverside counties was about 3.3 million. Some 1.6 percent of residents, or about 52,800, were babies born that year, according to www.censusscope.com. Assuming births were evenly distributed throughout the year, about 145 people, or 0.004 percent of the total population of the Inland Empire, were born on Dec. 12 in 2000 and are turning 12 today.
Many brides and grooms gravitate toward super-symmetrical anniversary dates: National retailer David's Bridal estimates more than 7,500 U.S. couples will marry today, up more than 1,400 percent from the same date last year.
Strings of numbers such as 12/12/12 tend to resonate in activities where the date is important. Geocaching hobbyists, for example, hide logbooks at particular geographical coordinates, and other geocachers use GPS trackers to find the books and sign and date them. Geocaching clubs all over the world have scheduled activities today, according to www.geocaching.com, although next year's highly anticipated 11/12/13 gets more buzz online.

As advertised - great product!

Best Uses
This is the best product of it's kind on the market. I'm a software developer and frequently use it while sitting on my couch in front of my wide screen TV. Also has sufficiently quick response time for gaming, at least for World of Warcraft. Haven't tried it on a shooter...The only thing I might suggest is to build in a way to fix a mouse pad that fits properly over the right or left side of the keyboard.Speaking of the keyboard, it just lacks a numbers pad, which frankly isn't a big deal.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fonterra Accepts MPI Charges
Fonterra Accepts MPI Charges
Fonterra Limited (Fonterra), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited, accepts the charges arising from the Ministry for Primary Industries' (MPI) investigation into events leading up to the precautionary whey protein concentrate (WPC80) recall last year.
It was subsequently confirmed that the recalled WPC80 did not present a health risk.
MPI examined whether Fonterra had complied with all its food safety and quality obligations, under New Zealand's Food Act and Animal Products Act in connection with the events leading to the precautionary recall.
MPI has filed four charges against Fonterra Limited relating to breaches of the Animal Products Act.
Fonterra's Managing Director People, Culture and Strategy Maury Leyland said Fonterra had co-operated fully with MPI throughout its investigation, and accepts responsibility for the allegations made in the charges.
"We have accepted all four charges, which are consistent with the findings of our Operational Review, and the Independent Board Inquiry.
"We have previously detailed issues relating to the decision to reprocess the original WPC80, and being slow about escalating information – which are reflected in the charges laid by MPI.
"Food quality and safety remain our top priority, and are fundamental to our business. New Zealand's dairy food production and safety systems have been affirmed by both the Board and Government inquiries as being as safe as any in the world.
"The WPC80 event caused us to examine in detail what happened, why it happened, and what we must do to minimise the risk of it ever happening again.
"We are making good progress on implementing the necessary improvements the Operational Review and Independent Board Inquiry identified.
"We are also working with the Government to progress all the recommendations of its review of New Zealand's dairy food safety regulatory framework, undertaken last year.
"Our customers and consumers need to know that New Zealand's food quality and safety regulations are being robustly applied by food manufacturers and enforced by New Zealand authorities.
"Fonterra is committed to complying with New Zealand's food safety and quality regulations, and being held accountable if it does not," said Ms Leyland.

After downloading the Windows 7 beta last week and tossing it on a VM, I finally made the move and made it my default Windows installation. Normally, my Windows desktops are VMs that I RDP into from my Macs, via the VMware Workstation console on my big Linux workstation where they run. However, I have an IBM Intellistation zPro running Vista that's my "big box" Windows install. It's been powered off for a few weeks now. Instead, I opted to take an HP 2710p tablet and turn it into my physical Windows 7 box, at least to start with.
There was nothing special about the installation, except for the fact that it thankfully only takes a few clicks. Much to my surprise, however, when the 2710p booted post-installation, just about every piece of hardware was accurately detected and available. A few pieces missed the cut, such as the fingerprint reader, but Windows 7 helpfully pointed that out and even gave me a link to download the Windows 7 driver and software for it. That was very handy.
[ Step through Windows 7 in InfoWorld's video guide | Survey InfoWorld's early looks at Windows 7 in the special report ]
The new taskbar is supposedly the killer feature of Windows 7, and it's inarguably an improvement over every other taskbar implementation Microsoft has introduced. Unlike some others, however, I don't see this as besting Apple's Dock, but it's definitely a better alternative to anything found in Windows XP or Vista. However, the fact that clicking on an open application icon in the taskbar doesn't actually bring that application window into focus if it has multiple open windows drives me nuts. You have to click the icon, then select the window you want -- too much mousing around.
After reading Tim Sneath's "Bumper List of Windows 7 Secrets," I opted to place the taskbar on the left of the screen, and I find it handier on smaller screens.
The eye candy when hovering over active applications is nifty, and it makes window selection simpler to some degree, with the caveats noted above. Microsoft even introduced single-app window selections, a la Mac OS X's Cmd-~ switcher, but it's really annoying to access. To only switch between windows in the active application, you must hold down the Ctrl key and repeatedly click the icon in the taskbar. This is less than useful. There's an Alt key and a tilde key on this keyboard -- use them.
Fast application switching is a problem on Windows now and will continue to be in the future. The issue is that the Alt-Tab method of switching between open windows is only useful if you have a small number of open windows. When you have dozens, it's fairly useless. When this switching method was first introduced, there simply wasn't enough horsepower to have dozens of windows open anyway, so it didn't matter. Times have changed, however. Apple's method of using Cmd-Tab to switch between applications, and Cmd-~ to switch between windows in that application is a much better design.
All the Vista-compatible applications I've tried have successfully started and run under Windows 7 beta, including several that were problematic under Vista, such as the ShoreTel client. There are the normal UAC annoyances, but they can be disabled just like Vista, if you like to live on the edge. As with all my Windows installations, I paid the performance penalty and installed a virus scanner and Windows Defender to keep an eye on viruses and malware.
This being a tablet, I was able to test those features too. It's much the same as with Vista, no problems there. Of course, with my newfound use of the left-hand taskbar, I had to move the Tablet Input Panel to the right-hand side of the screen. It might be a little faster than Vista, but I haven't noticed any significant performance increase on this laptop, and I'm not going to run benchmarks on beta code.
So Windows 7 is very nice and all, and it may be that it's is the best iteration of Windows yet, but there really isn't that much there, other than the improved taskbar. When Apple released Leopard, there were significant feature additions and improvements, like Spaces, Time Machine, and so forth. That type of step forward seems to be missing from Windows 7. In addition, there's still no compelling reason for businesses to switch from Windows XP, and that's Microsoft's biggest problem of all.
For the majority of business uses, Windows XP and Office 97 or 2000 are more than enough to handle day-to-day business tasks. In this economy, upgrading functional server and desktop operating systems isn't in the budget, especially when there's no business reason to do so. This isn't a secret, since the corporate response to Vista was lukewarm at best, and those that jumped on the Vista bandwagon initially certainly aren't going to be thrilled to make another leap to Windows 7 so soon. I do know that I'm in absolutely no hurry to move away from Windows XP as the corporate desktop except in some extreme cases -- it's just not worth it.
This leaves Microsoft selling to home users and power users, and relying on the OEM installations to push copies of Windows. The problem there is that by working on Windows 7 so soon after Vista's launch, Microsoft has effectively orphaned Vista -- why buy a copy now when Windows 7 is right around the corner?
In short, did Microsoft peak with Windows XP?

I'm headed down there for a week in March, what can I expect surfwise, and how likely is it that I'll to get into a fight?
haha, nah man not at all, just wondering if its like that down there. never surfed in Fl before.
same question with daytona, what to expect surfwise in march....hopefully i can manage to get a few while trying to paddle through drunk spring break idiots (although i'll be 1 of them once out of the water)
hopefully, we can get some floridians to answer your crowd/localism factor question. This forum is not as active as the mid atlantic forum.
I've surfed a lot of the east florida coast. As far as crowd/localism factor, its pretty similar to most of the east coast. I like the waves in north florida better than then central florida area, because there seems to be on average a little more punch.
In general, just as with surfing anywhere new, take your time to feel the vibe when you first paddle out, be respectful, dont be a paddle master, and you shouldnt have problems.
appreciate it man, thats what I figured, just didnt know if it was one of those where you paddle out and immediately start getting hassled because they don't know you. I always try to be respectful and play it cool at someone elses break, cant really blame people if you paddle out like you own the place and they freak out on you.
Hopefully I score some waves for my spring break.
Oh yeah, and water temp wise, those guys in spring suits yet?
water temps are in the mid 60s. you can use the swellinfo buoy data map and mouse over the coastal buoys.
We are skinning it right now. Might be a degree or 2 colder further north (I'm down near Sebastian inlet) but you should be very warm in a spring suit.
Crowds aren't a problem unless you do something silly like paddle out to an already crowded/popular spot like the inlets or piers or you paddle out to a peak with a group of friends on it. Just go down the beach a bit and you'll be fine.
Otherwise there isn't much localism here.
Thanks alot man, much appreciated.

SHADE ALERT: Kenya Moore blasts NeNe Leakes
Kenya Moore didn't pull any punches during her recent visit to The Wendy Williams Show.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star dished dirt on NeNe Leakes and Mama Joyce while she was chatting with Wendy Williams about the explosive season of the hit show.
"Last season she welcomed me. She was like, 'Oh, Kenya, do your thing.' Now, all of a sudden this is all she has and things changed. They drastically changed," she said about her co-star, Nene.
"You'll have to make the decision for yourself when you watch it unfold," she said. "It's not like it used to be…it gets really bad. It gets really bad."
She also weighed in on Kandi Burruss' mother's bad behavior.
"It's too much," she said. "I think Mama Joyce is off her rocker literally."

This Church Is Preventing The World From Seeing Cersei's Boobs On 'Game Of Thrones'
Listen to TV Talk on iHeartRadio
A small Croatian church is standing in the way of filming one of the most prominent scenes in the fifth season of "Game of Thrones": seeing Cersei Lannister stark naked.
Though the HBO show regularly features sex and nudity, TMZ is reporting that the Church of St. Nicholas in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and its local film commission has a "rigid policy against public displays of sexuality," and is refusing to let the show film the scene there. Everyone else might be dying to see it, but a church not letting a nude scene happen on its front steps shouldn't be all that surprising.

The BCFB Annual Dinner begins with a no-host social hour at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and a program at 8 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person for members and $75 per person for nonmembers and can be purchased by calling the BCFB office at 530-533-1473. Reservations are encouraged, as the event does sell out quickly.
