Best Bras for A-B Cups
Barely There's Invisible Look Underwire ($33) received consistently rave reviews from testers of all bustlines — a few noted that it was so comfortable, they forgot they had it on. The front-adjusting straps are easily altered without having to remove the bra. Add the fact that this brassiere held up well after several washings, and it was a shoe-in to be named our favorite T-shirt bra. barelythere.com.
Sizes: 34A to 40D
If light tees are a summer staple, try Vanity Fair's Fits You Perfectly Full Coverage Contour ($32), our testers' favorite for its appearance under a light top. This "elegant" bra gives a clean line while it lifts and separates, and it was this great appearance that earned it our top spot for C-D cup sizes. The cups warped slightly after our wash test, but the bra kept its shape otherwise without shrinking. vanityfairintimates.com.

Administration Puts Procurement Communications Success Stories on the Internet
December 2, 1996
Contact: Bill Bearden
(202) 501-1231or firstname.lastname@example.com
or Lawrence J. Haas at OMB
(202) 395-7254
In an effort to further encourage the reinvention of government procurement, the Clinton Administration today announced that it has placed on the Internet more than 60 procurement "success stories" that show how Federal agencies are using innovative practices to more effectively communicate their contracting needs.
The initiative results from a joint effort between the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) and the General Services Administration (GSA) to help agencies improve the ways in which they communicate with contractors. These stories highlight successes that range from using the Internet to negotiate contracts to emphasizing ongoing communications with industry to help to define and evaluate agencies' technical service requirements and match them with commercial "off-the-self" products. The stories are indexed by agency and stages in the acquisition process.
"In the past, government procurement regulations often made it difficult for us to talk with potential suppliers," said OFPP Administrator Steven Kelman. "Encouraging communications is common sense, and it mirrors the way the commercial world buys goods and services."
"It's important to share our success stories and learn from our results," said Martin G. Wagner, Associate Administrator of GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy. "Agencies can learn valuable lessons from each other and improve their efforts by sharing information."
In December 1994, OFPP and GSA formed a project team to help agencies improve their communications practices through all phases of the acquisition cycle (e.g., market research, source solicitation, contract award, contract administration). As a part of that effort, 22 agencies pledged to (1) identify and eliminate impediments to communicating their contracting needs to industry, and (2) cooperate with each other and OFPP to share their success stories with contractors, the general public and other agencies.
Among the highlights are:
The interior Department estimates that it reduced the time needed to award a contract by 30 to 60 days, and saved bidders significant amounts of money, by allowing bidders to use oral presentations as a means for reducing the length of written proposals.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in working to enhance civilian nuclear safety in Russia and Ukraine, conducted negotiations over the Internet to award several IT procurements to a contractor located in a remote part of the former Soviet Union. This communication resulted in a savings in mail delivery time of at least six weeks.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in working to award a $300 million technical support services contract, engaged industry in one-on-one, closed-door presolicitation conversations. By allowing FAA to communicate in advance whether it would support a particular proposal strategy, this intimate setting helped offerors to save proposal preparation time and money and reduced the number of proposal deficiencies that would normally need to be cleared up through additional discussions.
The more than 60 procurement success stories are posted on GSA's home page on the World Wide Web at http://www.itpolicy.gsa.gov/mkm/epp/ideas/index.htm. They are also linked to the Acquisition Reform Net at http://www.arnet.gov/BestP/AcqBestP.html.

I remember a few years ago Brad Pickett turned down a fight with Simon Boulter at fx3 here is a piece around the time
Catching up with Brad Pickett revealed his side of the story and it isn't the issue of letting the fight go ahead with 0.4kg being given away, it's a respect issue. "It's not the weight that bothers me, I have fought guys who are 10 kilos heavier than me before, it's the way that it was done that irked me. We had 45 minutes before the cut off point and he basically turned around and said he was done, he basically said I cant go back in the sauna, sat down and popped his drink down his throat without even asking me about it, that made my blood boil" explained Pickett before adding "We all sat down outside trying to resolve it, corner-man, promoters and us, but when he popped that drink I just thought, is this for f***ing real? He didn't consult me or try to cut right up to the line, he just sat back and slugged his drink, I was so f***ing angry, and I cant fight with my head in that frame of mind, I wont fight the fight I need to"
So was the split of Boulter's purse not an incentive to accept the bout? You could possibly look at his team-mate at ATT - Thaigo Alves for reference as this is exactly what happened to him with Matt Hughes… "Its all very well and good to say Hughes got 30% of his purse, but 30% of UFC wages is a lot better than 50% of what he (Boulter) was getting paid here, but again, its not a financial issue, it's a professionalism issue, I would have walked him back to the sauna myself if he wanted it that bad, it just got me into a frenzy seeing him pop his drink without consultation first" ranted Pickett, clearly still angry at how things have transpired "I have seen people crawl out of a sauna to make weight before" he concluded.

Bring on the Daisy Dukes: Jessica Simpson returns to Weight Watchers
Listen to Jessica Simpson on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Jessica Simpson is ready to get back in her Daisy Dukes!
The reality TV star and fashionista, who welcomed her second child in June, is officially working with Weight Watchers again to shed her baby weight. Andy Amill, who is the company's VP of Media Sales, told MediaBistro in a new interview that the famous blonde has been welcomed back into the fold.
"We were thrilled to welcome Jessica back on the Weight Watchers program in August," a company spokesperson confirms to omg!. "With a toddler on the run and an infant to look after, we know she needs a plan that's simple and fits into her life along with the support that's so important to moms with young children."
The 33-year-old first inked a deal with the weight loss company — for a reported $4 million — in May 2012 after having her first child, daughter Maxwell, with fiancé Eric Johnson. And while she lost more than 40 pounds by September of that year, showing off her bod and sharing her diet secrets on "Katie," she — oops! — became pregnant again and had to hit the brakes on her big bucks deal as a diet company spokesperson.
In December, Simpson appeared in a new Weight Watchers ad for the company in which she announced her second pregnancy. At the time, the company said she would stay on as a brand ambassador, but her dieting and point counting was put on hold until after she gave birth and her doctor gave her the green light.

LISTEN: Austin Mahone debuts new song 'Banga Banga'
Listen to Austin Mahone on iHeartRadio
Austin Mahone debuted his new single "Banga Banga" on Tuesday night, several days earlier than promised.
The singer, who originally said the track would come on Sunday, surprised his fans by releasing it on the radio.
Mahone will undoubtedly perform the track during his upcoming shows, and on his rescheduled "MTV Artists to Watch" tour, now slated for February after a severe illness sidelined the singer.

"Phil's extensive experience in the food industry enables him to bring a unique and critical perspective to our Board of Directors," said Meals On Wheels Association Board Chair Vinsen Faris. "We are most appreciative to him and the National Restaurant Association for their willingness to contribute his valuable time to volunteer service for Meals On Wheels' benefit."
Kafarakis' record of business achievement extends across multiple channels of food distribution, several product categories and in emerging global markets. Prior to the National Restaurant Association, Kafarakis was Vice President, Food Service for McCormick & Co., where he was responsible for the launch of the McCormick for Chefs marketing platform. His background also includes senior roles with Cargill Incorporated, Aqua-Novus Corp., Jones Dairy Farm and Kraft Foods Inc.
"Phil is widely known and respected throughout the world of foodservice and business for his innovative thought leadership and ability to grow organizations," added Ellie Hollander, President and CEO of the Meals On Wheels Association of America. "We are excited to parlay his keen insights and knowledge into helping our programs become stronger, so they can nourish more lives."
"Meals on Wheels programs have played an extraordinary role in the lives of seniors across the country and I am excited to be a part of their national leadership organization. As they continue to lead the charge in providing such a vital service to those in need, I look forward to finding new ways to expand and promote their outreach," said Kafarakis.
While the Meals On Wheels Association Board has historically been made up of senior nutrition leaders from programs across the country, a change to its Bylaws in 2013 sought to diversify the leadership to also include experienced individuals from other sectors. Kafarakis is the first to be added as a result.
ABOUT: The Meals On Wheels Association of America is the only national organization and network dedicated solely to ending senior hunger in America. The Association is the oldest and largest organization composed of and representing local, community-based Senior Nutrition Programs in all 50 states as well as the U.S. territories.

'Perhaps the time off did Tallinder some good. He joined the rush several times, including seconds before Derek Roy's first goal. It was reminiscent of his dash in Atlanta a few Fridays ago that resulted in Clarke MacArthur's tap-in goal. Lindy Ruff eased the defenseman back into the lineup with 14:03 of ice time. Partner Teppo Numminen also saw limited time at just under 15 minutes. The coach said after the game it was good to see the smooth-skating Swede get his groove back. (He didn't say "get his groove back." It would have been cool if he had, though.)'

Then, in 1999, Baptiste, Dominique and more recently Florent joined their father. Their priorities were to concentrate on selecting the best parcels in order to produce a wine of a great quality with a good ageing potential. View all Domaine de Cristia Wines
About Chateauneuf-du-PapeView a map of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries (shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)
Photo of galets covering the soil at Chateau de Beaucastel
Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. But the beverage and snack giant forecast a decline in adjusted 2012 earnings.
The maker of Pepsi soda, Tropicana juice and Frito-Lay snacks also plans to cut 8,700 jobs, or about 3% of its workforce to offset high commodity costs. (Snack and soda makers are facing high commodity costs and changing consumer tastes toward healthier snacks and drinks.) It expects the restructuring will save an additional $1.5 billion by 2014 -- on top of $1.5 billion in cost cutting it previously announced.
Additionally, the Purchase, NY, company reportedly plans to increase advertising and marketing behind its brands by $500 million to $600 million in 2012.
"In 2011, we delivered solid top- and bottom-line growth," said PepsiCo chairman and chief executive Indra Nooyi. "We continued to stimulate strong consumer demand for our products, and our successful pricing and productivity programs partially offset the impacts of inflation. Importantly, in a year characterized by a challenging macroeconomic environment and political turbulence, we took advantage of gains from strategic adjustments to our portfolio to reinvest in key capabilities and markets."
Nooyi said PepsiCo also improved its long-term competitiveness in key emerging and developing markets through the acquisition of Wimm-Bill-Dann in Russia, and pursuing new franchise models for beverage operations in Mexico and China. The acquisition of Mabel extended Pepsico's macrosnack position in Brazil.
PepsiCo's net income for the quarter, ended Dec. 31, rose 4% to $1.42 billion, or 89¢ share. That's up from $1.37 billion, or 85¢ a share last year. Excluding restructuring and other costs, net income was $1.15 a share.
Revenue rose 11% to $20.16 billion. Higher prices and cost cuts helped offset higher commodity costs. Volume rose 7%.
The company took a $383 million charge in the fourth quarter related to the restructuring plan and said it will take $425 million in charges in 2012. It will take $100 million in charges between 2013 and 2015.
For the year, net income rose 2% to $6.46 billion, or $4.03 a share, compared with $6.33 billion, or $3.91 per share. Revenue rose 15 % to $66.5 billion from $57.84 billion.
PepsiCo says it expects adjusted 2012 earnings to fall 5% in 2012 during a transition and then rise in the high single digits after that.

I use a half dozen or so macros all the time with GSAK. If they work with 8, I'll switch. If not, I'll likely wait until they do.
SNB, I use a pretty good list of macros, I have 20 installed but use about 10 on a nearly daily basis, and all worked as-is going from 7 to 8.
I would love to see a list of what macros you find to be most beneficial. I have certainly come across some, but still relatively new to GSAK, it would be nice to see a "Best of GSAK" kind of list.
I wouldn't mind seeing a list of favorites too. I sometimes don't feel I make the best use of GSAK. My favorites:
FindStatGen3. gsk - statistics generator
GridKiller.gsk - difficulty/terrain grid
MyGMEv3.gsm - my most recent discovery and most useful to map out a puzzle run (maps all caches in a filter).
I mostly use GSAK to save the solved puzzle coords and I filter to find the puzzles I have or haven't solved/found.

I use the following frequently:
GoogleEarthCircles - this one plots out from your filter the 161m radius around existing caches so you can see how close you are.
I use other ones, but those are the two I use the most.

Here's my faves and what they do...
Generating Stats:
FindGenStat3 :
the tool that generates my profile on gc.com
Runs the genstats macro above and uploads to my GC profile
PSGPlugin_PinboardMap :
FSG Plugins add optional features and maps to FindGenStat above
Loading GPS Receivers:
GarminCsvPoiExport-v2 :
the macro that I use to load my Garmin 60csx - Don't run this much any more since I started using NeonGeo on my android so much.
GPX_by_Cache_Type :
The jjreds macro that I use to load my Nuvi
Working with caches in GSAK:
Review_For_Archive_API :
A macro that helps automate the process of identifying, and then moving or deleting archived caches from GSAK. Requires Version 8.
Google_Map_V3 :
Generates a google map of the selected caches
HTML_Google Maps Nearest :
Not a macro you "run", but rather, adds a new kind of split screen map view in GSAK
The usefulness of a lot of these depends on how you use GSAK. Some just load several PQs into GSAK, create one big export to their GPS, and then they're done with that data... the next time, they delete all the data, load the new PQs in, and repeat. This is the transient data model. I use the persistent data model. Cache data from the twin cities flows into, and then stays, in my GSAK database.
I have one big data base of about 12,000 caches that get updated by a weekly series of PQs. I use this to load my GPSes maybe once a week. I keep all my finds and notes in GSAK. I will use the corrected coords function when I solve puzzles. My finds stay in this data base, and, my hides are in it too. Periodically then I check for archived caches and move those entries to a second database called "archived".
Now, with the API and the advent of NeonGeo, I may gradually stop running PQs the way I do and rely more heavily on the API.

The three macros I use the most are BadgeGen.gsk, FindStatGen3.gsk, and garmin-nuvi-exportgpx.gsk. The latter is the one that is the most useful to me and the one I am most concerned about losing with GSAK 8. It loads the caches into my Garmin Nuvi so that I'm not so prone to watch my handheld GPSr while driving. Now I wouldn't do that, would I?

Are you still using that? pilotsnipes decided to stop development about 2 years ago, at which time he offered all his code to jjreds, who now develops the follow-on called "GPX_by_Cache_Type". it is slightly different in the way it works, but mostly the same code base. It creates subcategories on your Nuvi, so after you go into "Custom POI" there is a list of cache types, like "traditional", "multi", "found", etc... It runs slower than pilotsnipes but I have used it ever since pilotsnipes fizzled.
At any rate, both the pilotsnipes and the jjreds macros work in GSAK 8 as-is.

Pricing information is out:
The full post has more details, but here's the gist:
I can confirm that the outright cost of version 8 will be the same - $30
However, anyone that currently has a V7 registration can upgrade to V8 with a discount.
The following discount structure will apply:
Anyone that purchases V7 at the new cost of $30 will get a free upgrade to V8. Another words, anyone purchasing a registration after 1st October will be entitled to a free upgrade to V8
If purchased V7 3 months before the price increase (1st June to 30th September) - $5 for the upgrade
Virtually these users are just paying the price increase for V8. If they had waited until V8 was released then they would have paid $5 more than their original V7 registraion.
If purchased V7 3-9 months before the price increase - $10 for the upgrade
If purchased V7 9-24 months before the price increase - $15 for the upgrade
If purchased V7 over 24 months before the price increase - $20 for the upgrade
Version 6 users can get a token discount of $5, so $25 for the upgrade to V8

Yes it works well. Also works in linux if the shellcode is changed.
I tried the following steps:
1) Saved the javascript in /var/www as index.html
2) K menu >> Services >> HTTPD >> Start HTTPD
3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
4) Edit the configuration file - - /etc/etter.conf to enable iptable
3) ettercap -i wlan0 -Tq -M ARP /192.168.1.1/ // // -P autoadd
Ettercap is working because both ie & firefox are showing the certificate warning, however, exploit is not working. What am I missing completely? You can start your answer like.... "Oi.. stu***, you don't run javascript in this way............ "
I won't mind.... as this is new to me....
PS: I'm on BT4, attacking a vista box with firefox 3.5
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
Im not sure why you are running ettercap. Just fire up apache, put the exploit in apaches root / and call it index.html. Then take your vista box and browse to the page and calc.exe sohould open on the vulnerable machine.
I haven't used it or looked at it yet, but I updated my metasploit dev a couple of hours ago and I saw a new firefox exploit added, it may well resolve many of your issues.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
its called MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE for a reason, what kazalku was doing is smart as shit, just pretend you're the router, and inject the harmful javascript to everyone on the network, and if they have 3.5, theyre screwed on every page they browse to
And, yes when I followed the steps you mentioned (Start Apache with the exploit as index.html, then browse to 192.168.1.2), firefox crashes. May be it's due to vista because it was reported that same thing happens with XP SP3.

Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
on 3.5.1 it didn't seem to have worked. I thought it would work on the whole 3.5.x
all it gave me was the text in the code
Firefox 3.5 Heap Spray Vulnerabilty
Author: SBerry aka Simon Berry-Byrne
Thanks to HD Moore for the insight and Metasploit for the payload
its has been fixed 3.5.1 onwards

A girl in a gaming shop
"Can I get three Mage Knight boosters, please?"
It was a bright, sunny and unbearably hot Saturday in mid-June and, as usual, I was trapped behind the counter in the gaming store I worked at part-time. The skinny nerd in front of me requesting Mage Knight boosters was covered in acne and wore a stained Punisher tee-shirt, his sweaty, eager palm clutching a slightly damp 20 dollar bill. His name was Billy and he was in here all the damn time. Half-lidded, I grabbed three boxes of that accursed clicking-figures game and tossed them on the counter. He picked one of them up.
"No, dude, hand me the box of them. I need to test the weight, I'm looking for a rare." said Billy.
Somebody fucking shoot me. It's not that I hated gaming nerds; hell, a sizable percentage of them were surprisingly friendly and decent people who had an incurable obsession, like lovable alcoholics. Unfortunately the latest craze was a game called Mage Knight, which is a game where Wizards of the Coast takes money from teenagers in exchange for a box of poorly painted little action figures where you incessantly click the numbers around on the base and pretend the toys are killing eachother. I thought it was retarded, mostly because it attracted the worst kind of gamer: the obsessive collector. The kid in front of me was clearly one of these.
The bells we'd attached to the door rang and in stepped a slender redhead wearing nude lipstick and a babydoll tee-shirt with Edward Scissorhands on it. Her name was Nicole, and she was surprisingly attractive, which meant she probably wasn't here to pretend she was a dwarf or click little figures and shout obscure rules at a fat bearded guy in suspenders.
"Someone's girlfriend is here to pick them up," I thought to myself. We had girls come in to the store but nine times out of ten they were someone's mother or fiancee or wife, an enabler that couldn't break their beloved's crippling nerd habit. If they were there to game then they either already had a boyfriend or were 500 pounds and balding.
So when this girl came up to the counter and asked if we had the latest Magic: The Gathering booster set, you can imagine my confusion. If it were in my power to have summoned a question mark to stand boldly over my head, I surely would have.
"Sure, we've got it." I took the box down from the shelf and set it in front of her, finishing up the other nerd's transaction.
"Whoa, a girl who plays magic!" said Billy, a sort of derisive sneer crossing his scarred-up adolescent face.
Nicole rolled her eyes and rooted through the booster box. Billy stood there staring at her a while.
"Did you need something else, man?" I said, sitting back on my stool and picking up my newspaper.
"Oh.. uh, no.." he stammered, still staring at Nicole, who was rifling through the box like a coke addict scrounging in his couch cushions for change. Billy scuttled off back to the Gulag, which was the big free-gaming area we had in the rear of the store.
Nicole selectred three packs of cards and pulled out her wallet just as Tom came swaggering from out of the Gulag.
Tom was a regular, but he was the kind of regular nobody really wanted around. He was short, around 5 foot 6 or so, with a skinny build and an absolutely tragic haircut, parted at the side and neatly combed over the dome of his skull, with occasional stray hairs sticking out. He had beady little eyes and a moustache we all referred to as "chomo", which is short for something very unpleasant. Tom worked as a tech support guy at America Online, which had a big plant just east of where we were at. Routinely he'd come in to the store dressed in his work clothes, which was an ugly white polo shirt, khaki slacks and his dorky little employee badge hanging from his belt. This was the kind of guy who actually wore his celphone in a stupid little belt clip, like some kind of techie wannabe cowboy, fastest nerd in the west. He liked Warhammer and Battletech and every time a girl came into the store his "creepy scuzzbag" alarm went off and he arrived on the scene, ready to flirt. Frequently he's chased female customers off, to the point where we weren't sure if we should even allow him to come into the store anymore; unfortunately, Tom spent so much on games that if we kicked him out, the slow trickle of returning females wouldn't spend enough to make up what we'd lose by giving Tom the boot.
It was no surprise to me that Billy must have reported to him that there was a cute girl in the store. As he came strutting up to the counter, I was just finishing up Nicole's transaction, and I rolled my eyes.
"Hey Swami, can I get some Magic cards, man?"
"Tom, you don't play Magic." Oh christ. He's trying to pick up on this girl by buying Magic cards? Time to throw up the cockblock shield.
"I want to learn man! Are you denying me a sale?" I rolled my eyes again and pushed the booster box over near Tom. Nicole lit up a little and smiled at him.
"Oh, you wanna learn how to play?" she said.
If you've ever seen the Chuck Jones version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, then you can envision the disgusting, villainous smile that creeped its way across Tom's wormy little mouth.
"Yeah! Hey, I've never seen you in here before." Tom said, turning to rest his elbow against the counter.
"Oh, the one store near my house closed so now I have to drive over here to get cards." Nicole said.
"Thank god for that. No competition is good competition." I said. Nicole laughed.
Tom faked a laugh. "So, do you wanna teach me how to play?"
"Sure! I hardly know anyone around here, I need someone to play with!" Nicole said. No, Tom, don't. Don't, please. Nicole, you know not of what you speak.
"Oh yeah, me too." He said, his voice clearly hinting at a stomach-turning innuendo. What a shitheel.
The two tottered off back to the Gulag and I sighed heavily. I expected her come running out screaming within an hour. A few hours later they walked back through the front of the store and stood near the entrance. Tom touched Nicole on the shoulder and smiled.
"Thanks for the lesson! Hey, what are you doing tonight?" he said. He moves quick.
"Uh, I think my mom wants me to be home for dinner." she said, moving for the door. Oh good, she's caught the foul stench of Tom's true intentions.
"Oh, okay. I'm having a party, is all. Hey so, are you gonna come back and teach me some more?"
"Sure!" Nicole smiled. "See you around!"
Nicole left and Tom swaggered on up to the counter.
"And THAT" he said, pointing at me, "Is how you pick up a hot chick! Learn from the MASTER, son!"
"Hey Tom, how old is she?" Tom shrugged.
"And you're how old?"
"Twenty three."
"You realize that makes you a creepy fuck, right?" I said, turning down my newspaper. "Pft, you're just jealous because you have no skills with the ladies."
"I have a girlfriend, Tom, and she's my age and I didn't have to buy fucking Magic cards to flirt with her."
"Whatever man." Tom scuttled back to the Gulag to return to his Warhammer match.
The next weekend Nicole came back, and I was happy to see her, because Justin was in the store. Justin was a really nice little somewhat-emo kid who was 16, played Magic and had a good head on his shoulders. I'd hoped Nicole would take a liking to him and put a stop to Tom's ridiculous cradle-robbing antics. Lucky for me, Justin was sitting at the demo table we kept in the front of the store, sorting his cards, when Nicole stepped in.
"Hey Swami!" Nicole said, cheerfully.
"Sup." I said. "Hey, Justin, this is Nicole, she's looking for someone to play Magic with." Justin lifted his head and smiled a little.
"Oh yeah? Cool." Ah, the wheels were turning. Nicole went over to the demo table and started commenting on Justin's cards.
My work here was done. Or so I thought.
The bells on the front door rang and in came Tom, holding a big card box, wearing his terminally dorky work clothes.
"Hey Nicole!" he practically shouted. "I brought some cards, are you ready to play?" Nicole lifted her head.
"Oh, yeah, maybe a little later, this guy here has some amazing decks." Nicole said, sitting down next to Justin. Atta girl.
"Well hey, maybe we can have a three-way! A little, you know, meh-nayge-ah-troys!" Tom said. It was all I could do to not leap over the counter and strangle him until his eyes popped out of his worthless little skull. I wasn't sure what offended me more; his slaughtering of the french language or the fact that he was so aggressively pursuing a sixteen year old. Justin fortunately had more sense than I'd thought.
"Dude, there's like, a Battletech tournament in the back. You're like, third on the list." Justin said.
"Oh, you're right. Shit, I forgot. Hey, I'll come out after I'm done and we'll all play together, okay?" Tom said, moving back towards the Gulag.
"Sure!" Nicole said, and gave him a little wave. Tom gave her a thumbs-up. Christ, what a faggot.
"That guy's kind of a creep." Justin said.
"Yeah, but he's nice anyway and I need people to play Magic with." Nicole pursed her lips.
"He's probably just like... trying to hit on you. Anyway did you want to play?" and the two kids started sorting out their cards.
About an hour later Nicole got up and went to the bathroom, so Justin sat back and put his feet on the chair in front of him. Tom came out, sweating like a pig.
"Hey, where's Nicole?" he asked.
"She's off reporting you to the police for being a pederast." I said. Justin laughed.
"Eight-year-olds, dude!" Justin snapped. This kid was alright.
"Very funny, you little fucker." Tom barked to Justin. "I saw her first." he sneered.
"Go fuck yourself, Tom. She isn't interested in you." Justin just sat back, shuffling his cards.
"Tom, she's way too young for you and if you scare off another female customer I'm going to ban you from the store." I said, crossing my arms. It was an empty threat, because the five to six hundred bucks Tom spent in the store every month was worth far more to me than Nicole's business, but I wanted to scare him. Just then Nicole came out. Tom turned to regard her.
"Hey Nicole, ready to play?"
"Actually Justin and I were going to get some lunch." she said, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Oh! Well hey, I'm starving, can I come along?" Tom begged.
"No." Justin said. I laughed. So did Nicole. Tom got all huffy and turned, stomping back to the Gulag. Nicole and Justin sauntered out of the store. I liked where this was going.
20 minutes later Tom comes walking out of the Gulag, clearly pissed off, his beady little eyes straining to express anger.
"Swami, that was FUCKED UP dude." He said, slamming is hand on the counter.
"What? Tom, get a fucking grip. She's not interested in you and you are WAY TOO FUCKING OLD FOR HER."
"Oh yeah? Well there's a spark there. She likes me. You can't deny that she has a thing for me!
Did you see the way she waved at me?"
"Did you hear the way she laughed when Justin completely shut your ass down? Stop being such a shithead, Tom, and give it up. Enough, this is over."
"It's not up to you!"
"You're right, but I can still do something about it. Leave her alone, man. She's a customer and you're harassing her."
"It's not harassment!" Just as Tom said this, Justin and Nicole came in. They were holding hands. Justin works fast, I'll give him that.
"Hey kids." I said, standing up from my stool. Tom stomped up to Justin.
"This isn't over!" he said, fuming mad and storming out the door. Justin and Nicole rolled their eyes and went over to the table to start up another game.
The next day was a Sunday and the store was especially busy. Justin came in a little early, holding a stack of papers.
"Hey Justin, what's up?" I asked, surprised to see him in so early.
"Dude, you have to see what I found on the internet." He turned his stack of papers around.
What greeted me was a black and white photocopied image of Tom, completely nude, standing in front of his bed, his meaty little hand gripping a tiny appendage I could only assume was supposed to be his penis. His hair was sticking up all over and he had a big shit-eating grin on his face. I burst into an epic laugh that must have lasted 10 minutes long. I actually fell off my stool.
"Dude, that is fucking SICK! Oh my GOD!" I said. "Put that shit away!"
"Hell no man! Is Tom here?"
"Yeah, he's in the back, but..."
Nicole walked in and smiled upon seeing Justin.
"Hey!" she said, walking up to him and giving him a hug from behind.
"Hey Nicole, check this..." He didn't even finish his sentence before Nicole saw the photo and burst into laughter, covering her mouth with her hand. Justin grinned and sauntered on back to the Gulag. I didn't follow, and neither did Nicole. We sat and waited.
All I heard was "HEY GUYS, CHECK IT OUT!" followed by what appeared to be stunned silence, which was followed by the loudest laughter I've ever heard in my life. 30 nerds laughing at the top of their lungs, and then one anguished scream. Justin came bolting out of the Gulag.
"I better get the fuck out of here!" he said, grabbing Nicole's arm. Tom shot out from the back room and grabbed Justin by the back of the shirt, pushing Nicole to the floor.
"HEY! KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF!" I yelled, standing up and moving to walk around the counter and stop Tom from wailing on Justin. It was too late; Tom's fist came down on Justin's face and he cracked him in the jaw. Justin had apparently made big plans for that photo, because the big stack of copies he'd made went flying everywhere, Tom's grinning, naked mug covering the floor. I moved to grab Tom's shoulders, but Justin wasn't having any of it. He kicked up and nailed Tom right in his tiny little testicles, which sent Tom to the floor in agony. Justin dropped to his knees and started wailing on Tom's face, battering his nose up and breaking out one of his teeth, surrounded by the photo.
"Wait, stop, dude, no." I said plainly, crossing my arms and standing there. By now a huge crowd had gathered and someone was frantically calling the police on his celphone, but nobody was moving to pull Justin off of Tom, who at this point had become a crumpled little bloody ball on the floor. Justin stood up and spat on him, turning back to help Nicole up off the floor. Tom started crying, curling into a fetal position. Everyone just stood there, watching him bleed all over the tile.
He deserved every blow. What an asshole.
world peace is for faggots.

Hello again everyone, I've been working on EasyBCD's PC-BSD support, and I think I have a beta build that can be used and tested by anyone that's interested in getting the dual-boot to work. Steps are simple: 1) Install PC-BSD to the same or different disk as Windows using GPT or MBR. 2) Do NOT check the "install bootloader" option in PC-BSD setup 3) After setup completes you'll be rebooted into Windows, where you need to run EasyBCD 4) EasyBCD | Add Entry | Linux | FreeBSD/PC-BSD | Add Entry 5) Reboot and enjoy the dual-boot EasyBCD 2.1.1 beta build 147 can be downloaded from http://j.mp/EBCD2 You can also subscribe to email notification for new beta builds from there. Looking forward to hearing some feedback and hoping it works for everybody! Cheers, Mahmoud

LONG BEACH - An emergency training exercise was conducted at Long Beach Airport Friday to test inter-agency communications and response capabilities.
The two-hour exercise, which began about 11 a.m., is mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration every three years for airport certification, according to Kerry Gerot of the city of Long Beach.
"It went very well," Gerot said. "The primary purpose of the exercise is safety and preserving life, and I think that everybody was pleased with the way things went."
Gerot said a debriefing process would take place over the next few days to evaluate the exercise.
The airport continued normal operations throughout the exercise, which took place near the north side of the airfield.
An "aircraft incident with mass casualties" was simulated, and there were realistic- sounding radio transmissions describing deployment of personnel and alerts to local hospitals. Volunteers portrayed victims, and the California Air National Guard provided a C-130 aircraft.
Drill participants included personnel from the airport; the Long Beach police, fire and public works departments; the Greater Long Beach Chapter of the American Red Cross; the Los Angeles County Coroner's office; St. Mary Medical Center; the California Air National Guard; the Transportation Security Administration; the FBI; and various airlines.

I wrote a piece yesterday a the MassPoliticsProfs blog on debates. I had just read an excellent piece by Professor John Sides on what the political science literature tells us about the impact of presidential debates on the outcomes of elections.
The short story is that debates seem to have very little to do with who wins or loses in any given year. I think the same applies to senatorial debates.
This morning I was reading the Globe and Joan Vennochi's column, "Why do Mass. politicans wither on big stage?" In that column she used Michael Dukakis as an example of a home state politician who fares poorly outside the state. To prove her point she repeated the famous exchange between the Duke and CNN anchor Bernard Shaw on the issue of rape and the death penalty.
Shaw asked the Duke if he'd support the death penalty if his wife was raped and murdered. Dukakis replied with little emotion to the outrageous question: "No, I don't, Bernard, and I think you know that I've opposed the dealth penalty during all my life." To that
Vennochi concludes: "Election over."
Well, not quite. Dukakis didn't lose because of his response to a single question in a debate. The factors that figure into winning or losing are vast and often complex. The data John Sides analyzes shows that polls tend to change very little as a result of what happens in a debate. We may recall those debate moments and use them to frame a win or loss in our memory. But the moment rarely has such a large impact.
There is great anticipation for the first Brown-Warren debate this evening. The race remains somewhat tight though the majority of recent polls show Warren ahead.
Brown isn't helped by the gaffe-a-thon that has become the Romney campaign of late. Romney is now polling in Bob Dole territory here in Massachusetts, making Brown's task much more difficult.
Warren has to use the forums to keep her Democratic base together and keep the gender gap wide.
But these are the realities of the campaign before the debate and they will continue to be the realities after. Major gaffes are unlikely but even when they occur (recall that President Ford claimed the Soviet Union did not dominate Eastern Europe) they rarely upend a campaign.
None of this should stop any of us from watching. Debates are educational and theatrical and there are still a few undecided voters out there who will use these debates as one of their cues to voting in November. But we shouldn't expect a game changer tonight.

Patients may be writing multiple checks and paying more for a visit with their doctor as insurers slash reimbursements to physicians for blood work.
After a similar move by its competitors, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee has notified doctors that it will cut payments for lab tests in half. The trend puts the pinch on physician practices that do their own lab work as well as those that can make money by outsourcing the service.
The scenario sets the stage for consumers to be billed directly by lab companies, said Dr. Sally Burbank, a Nashville internist. Health care consumers could end up with multiple invoices for a doctor's visit just as they do with a hospital stay. One bill would come from the practice for the time spent with a physician. The other would come from the laboratory that did the blood work.
"If we refuse to pay the lab bill, then the lab will be direct-billing the patients or the insurance company," Burbank said. "If they bill insurance but it's all deductible, then the patient has to pay it.
"The labs charge patients much, much more than doctors because patients have a history of not paying their lab bills."
Burbank said that after Cigna lowered its reimbursement for lab work, her practice got out of that billing cycle.
"Every time I did lab work, I lost money," she said. "I was paying people's lab bills, then losing money."
Patients on high-deductible plans were "madder than a hornet" when they received bills directly from the independent labs, she said.
BlueCross BlueShield gave doctors within its preferred network until today to reject the change but said it had the option of terminating network status for those doctors who did. Doctors removed from the BlueCross network would lose patients because it would cost their patients more to use an out-of-network physician.
BlueCross plans to cover only 52 percent of what Medicare pays for lab tests instead of matching the Medicare reimbursement rate as it currently does.
Paying market rates
Roy Vaughn, vice president of BlueCross in Tennessee, said the insurer simply wants to pay the real market rate for lab services instead of paying more than what its competitors pay. And he said the insurer has already contracted directly with lab companies that will do the services for the new reimbursement rates. Doctors have the option of sending specimens to those labs, he said.
"We want to make sure we are paying market rates — not more than market rates — because if we're paying more than market rates, it inhibits our ability to win customers," Vaughn said. "The bottom line of it all is when we pay more, it costs our customers more."
The Tennessee Medical Association, which represents state doctors, has asked BlueCross BlueShield to reconsider.
"BlueCross is the biggest player in the state," said Yarnell Beatty, vice president of advocacy for the association. "In most parts of the state, the largest pool of patients are going to be covered by BlueCross. It's a volume issue. If you significantly cut reimbursements for a large pool of your patients, that's going to have a significant impact on medical practices' bottom line."

Whenever performing a MitM attack through my tool of choice whether it be Ettercap text mode or arpspoof, the victim VM(BT5R1) loses internet connection. I have searched this topic thoroughly but am obviously missing something. The attack is being performed by BT5R1 Gnome 64bit on an identical VM(VMware) which is using a bridged connection that also replicates physical network state. This attack is being done via eth0 since I do not own an external USB wireless card.
The commands I used for ettercap are as follows
# ettercap -TQM ARP:REMOTE -i eth0 /10.0.0.1/ /10.0.0.2/
10.0.0.1 being the gateway obviously and .2 being the victim VM
I didn't enable IP forwarding for this due to ettercap's automation of this. Also tried with ip forwarding even though it's a bit redundant. In addition to ip forwarding, I've enabled IP tables in etter.conf as well as dropping the ec_uid/gid to 0(I don't know what this does). I've also read in another thread to un-comment ip chains, which I also tried but to no avail. I've tried installing a different version of ettercap but got the same problem. And of course when I tried this attack with arpspoof, i enabled ip forwarding with the echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Now I confirmed that the victim VM is in fact ARP poisoned via ARP tables and/or Wireshark. I just can't figure out why they lose connectivity
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if I forgot to mention any other critical details that would help in assessing the problem.

William Styron in Letters, Part 5By William Styron
To George Plimpton
December 1, 1953 Ravello, Italy
Dear George:
Herewith the interview, revised and expanded. I think that in the future it might be a good idea for you to get a tape-recorder for these darn things, because it's a bitch of a job for the interviewee to edit his own words. Now you will note that I did not completely eliminate all the first part; as a matter of fact I retained the bulk of it, but made quite a few changes and emendations. I think it's better now, certainly printable. Besides all the additions, you will notice I made a few eliminations. I cut out a few of the cuss-words, which were all too abundant. I cut out the cracks against little Truman and Anthony West, who God knows deserves them, but they seemed a little in poor taste. I also tempered my criticism of Faulkner. I have tried to keep the tone impersonal and conversational throughout, and I think that I've succeeded.
You will notice, too, that I've taken your suggestion and have added quite a bit toward the end. I hope you will find the questions—some of which are yours—and answers suitable; at least the piece is considerably lengthened, and I've gotten off my chest a few things I've wanted to say. One important thing is that I think you must somehow invent a little atmosphere to surround the piece. It's mighty bare without any stage directions, and I think if you place the thing right where the original interview started, in the Café Select, or some equivalent, it will provide a suitably bibulous background.

The only thing that bothers me about the move of AMC and OLTL….. Is that I have an 88 yr old Mother that has been watching these soaps from the start,
Guess what…. She has no computer has no ideal how to work one,
and all she can do is to watch her soaps!
Sorry but who ever thought of this is nuts!
She can't do anything but sit in a chair, or lay in a bed.
So can someone tell me just what in the name of heaven is she going to watch now……Talk Shows! Cooking Shows!…Think not.
Oh well she is nothing to ABC, But everything to me…Thank you very much, for letting me vent…..
I totally agree. The only reason I became obsessed with AMC is because of my grandmother and she is about the same age as your grandmother and she has no idea how to use a computer. Of course i would help her soaps during the summer but i go away for school so she wouldnt be able to watch her soaps during the school year, which is a long time to not watch them.
I agree with you 100 percent. Same situation here with my Mother. PLUS there are still some of us out there that do not want to sit in front of a computer screen to watch something. This is certainly going BACK in time instead of going forward.
There are a TON of cable stations out there, wouldn't one of them want to buy the TV rights to these shows? They both currently have an audience on par with AMC's MAD MEN. Every single weekday!
I also agree with you too. ABC has had some very loyal viewers
watching the soaps that are70 years and older that do not have computers.
They could care less. They are just interested in making a fast buck.
Who needs more cooking shows anyhow. learn to cook the old fashoned way!
Goodbye ABC you have lost me soon as the last showing of oltl
I have been a fan of amc & oltl fr over 40 years.
I agree 100% with all … I've been watching All My Children, One Live To Live and General Hospital for the past 34 years and will now boycott ABC daytime with the exception of watching General Hospital. What a ridiculous and stupid decision ABC has made to stop airing these long-standing shows. It was my favorite thing to do — get all my errands and housework done in the morning so I could tune into my 'shows' from 1 – 4 pm in the afternoon. How incredibly SAD! I will NOT be watching the new talk & cooking show to replace All My Children … I have tons of cook books and don't need another show like that on TV.
Yeah, Hooray, Bravo, Yippee! I am soooooooo Happy. I have watched All My Children from the first day it aired!
Yeah, I agree too. Online is not what we want! We want these beloved soaps to continue on ABC and we want our ATWT and GL back on CBS!!!
I agree 100% to leave All MY Children on ABC alive, not online, not everyone has access to computer. Whoever came up with this idea is crazy. This is a huge mistake. This is the one show that I enjoy. Watch it every night after I have taped it. Please contine this!!!!!
I'm happy that I will continue to see my 2 favorite soaps even if it is online…I just hope that it is a done deal & I am going to be there everyday…where my laptop at..where my laptop at..gonna get it gonna get it!!!
Thank you…
Good deal. Two iconic shows get to continue in a format that should please viewers and make for a viable platform. Bravo ABC.
This is awesome news. I couldn't be happier. LONG LIVE SOAPS.
Wow, I am shocked but ultimately proud and beyond excited. The future of soaps (and probably all serialized television in general) is on the internet, and to have two of the longest running serials in American history forging the path is AMAZING.
This sounds a little bit too good to be true, but I'm interested in how Prospect Park will make it work. Sounds a bit like they're interested in setting up a competitor to Netflix streaming. Or, they'll be a content provider and sell to services like Netflix. Anyway, as a long-time soap fan, I'm pleased to see there is continued interest in OLTL and AMC.
This is just another example of how shortsighted, if not stupid, SAG and AFTRA were during the last tv/theatrical negotiations. Those who knew better starting warning the unions back in 2008 that new media was going to be the go-to platform for traditional programming and this is proof of it. Those "militant, crazy, just say no-ers MembershipFirst" were right. Let's see how AFTRA negotiates this in their upcoming Net Code talks. The actors are going to get completely hosed on this deal. It'll be up to IATSE (just as weak as AFTRA) or the Teamsters to secure livable wages when these two soaps move over to new media. No way will actors be paid daily AFTRA minimum when these shows go to the internet because Prospect will claim that the add supported revenue won't be enough to do so. You'll see a whole new crop of inexperienced actors or desperate older actors, who'll basically work for free and the producers know it. If this trend becomes profitable for the employer, you'll see more and more of it. Forget about webisodes, we'll begin to see fully produced, hour and 1/2 hour scripted series made for new media taking over for traditional, with the employer being the only "partner" making a living doing it. The unions completely missed the boat, will never be able to get back on the boat, and have completely f&%$#@ actors ability to make a decent living as actors.
Sadly, all true.
The only thing that might save actors in this case is that the shows are already under union contract and that contract should carry over to the new platform. What I fear, though, is what AFTRA gave away in the fine print of the contract, and not telling actors about it (like giving away the "under-5 upgrade" for BG actors).
Cheer up, "union advocate" – it may be your best chance to get into show business.
Then maybe the actors, writers, etc., can get together and do their own shows. Form a collective and beat the production companies at their own game. After all, technology today allows anyone to make broadcast quality material for the Internet.
What's stopping them? The power is REALLY in the hands of the creators now. You just have to realize that and DO something about it.
seems kind of bizarre to me. how can they make money online with such an expensive production like this?
they're like 10 years too early for the internet to really generate money off of expensive original content.
What's even more scary is this claim that they wouldn't even be changing the quality of the show. There's no way these shows are going to be profitable without some sort of cutbacks.
at least it's not Disney's money that is being gambled at this point….
No way this works. The economics simply can't support the business model.
@ Mike Grindon:
You never know. It could be the advertisers that supported the show on ABC will move with the show to the internet. Their audience will be the same and they have to believe that audience will follow the show online.
I am so happy. I will be there!!
This is the best possible scenario, actually. They have a built in audience of millions and the advertisers know that. I think the chances of it working are very, very strong. The naysayers will soon learn that the Internet is the future. You sound like the many book publishers who said that ebooks would never take off.
wait till you are 80+ years old and see if you feel the same way.
everyone don't have a computer at that age or internet tv.
being selfish don't make it right
Thank you for this incredibly good news! I hope ABC realizes what they have done now, they've hastened their own demise — the irrelevancy of network television.
As a "legacy" AMC fan, the first thing I did after reading this is commence my search for an internet enabled TV, which, until today, I didn't think I wanted to own. I will also make sure that I have the best internet connection possible by the time AMC goes online.
Although I have religiously watched All My Children on ABC since my teenage years, whether or not I watched it "live" or recorded it while I worked (as I do now,) I will no longer be watching much, if any, regular TV anymore, especially on ABC. Good Morning America has gone to the dogs, and the Bachelor has become predictable and sad.
On a positive note, this catapults me into viewing my favorite program online. I am finally excited about internet tv! ABC, you cooked your own goose.
So happy. This was like losing a family member and now we'll still be able to follow the lives and times of our favorite characters. Kudos to ABC for allowing them to be shown somewhere else and Prospect Park for realizing their importance to so many people.
Great news for fans, the actors, and for less well known actors who've had the wonderful delight of being cast in an "under 5", had featured work, or done background on one. Some of my friends used to laugh at me for working on soaps, but in actuality, the fast shooting pace of soaps gave me invaluable experience. Plus, many of your A-List actors started in soaps and got steady paychecks till they hit it big. My only hope is that post-television, these shows will add more of a variety of people. And…thank goodness Michael Bay never directed soaps! Just saying…ha ha.
This seems like a brilliant idea, actually. We're talking about a franchise that already has a huge, built-in fan base. So, taking it online isn't nearly as risky as other online ventures. It doesn't have to work much differently than network television-you still have your sponsors, you still have commercials, so the money making potential is still the same. The risks only become greater because this is a relatively new platform, but I think they're making the right move…as long as the fans move with them!
Is Kwatinetz the guy to pull this off? What's the last thing he did that was really innovative? I mean it's not like Cube really needs him anymore.
I wonder if they can say real cuss words and actually show Cameron Mathison tiny tight butt? If CamCam drops trou, I'm there! lol
Seems like ABC is avoiding fan outrage by saying the shows will be continued by Prospect Park. I don't see Prospect Park coming out with a statement saying in what form or format. Are they going to be daily? Are they going to be an hour a day? Even with budget cuts, soaps cost about $35 million to $40 million a year. That's a lot of subscriptions or Internet advertising you have to sell. There's certainly a lot of missing information in this announcement.
If you look at the early years of these soaps they were very low budget, like a high school play. It won't matter. What matters is the relationships, the continuity of the story, and yes the actors and the quality of the performances. I will not mind if the sets look cheap as long as all of the foregoing is intact.
People can discount the soaps, but I think what was underestimated was the fan base, who is a lot more sophisticated than you might guess. We do have purchasing power, as well. If all the sponsors like Macys, the cosmetic companies, the houseold product companies and all the other advertisers (the drug companies and the diaper companies, etc.) — the "soaps" — go online with the show, with the fans, then Prospect Park should prosper! Although I would like it to be free, I would subscribe if forced to.
The principles behind Prospect Park are the same who ran the Firm way back when. That came and went without providing any real value – buying AMG e.g. Hard to see this all happening with real budgets and pay.
It costs $40 to $50 million per year to produce these soaps. No one makes that kind of money in online content.
Also, how many current viewers of either program have Web ready TVs or even own high speed connections? Although lots of folks watch content online, there are a ton of soap viewers who don't.
Also, the contracts for the actors are up in September. How many of them will re-sign? What's All My Children w/o Erica Kane/Susan Lucci?
Prospect Park doesn't have a website today. Correct? Will they have one to launch at the end of September? Will they stream it through Netflix, Hulu or Facebook?
I agree, the economics, as they now stand, won't support this model. I have friends who work on web series and unless you are a creative who already has money (Lisa Kudrow), most have to have a second job to make a living. My big fear is that because of this development the writeres won't wrap up the storylines and when this fails in 6 months to a year, you will have an abrupt cancellation without a proper send off. I would rather these shows end in style. Also, many of the actors who signed back on were short term only (old Todd, Zach, Dixie), they for sure won't be sticking around for the long term. And like someone else said everyone is going to have to re-negotiate their contracts. I think this is a way for ABC to save face since now, technically, they are not the ones that are cancelling these shows. Sad.
That's a great place for the soaps. Now, if we can get all the reality TV and talk shows to follow, that'd be terrific. Then, in my ideal little utopian TV world, everything on TV will be scripted and families will once again gather 'round in living rooms across the globe, sharing stories, culture and love.
This totally blows for actors. The contract for new media is pathetic. Content on the internet is the most measurable form for advertisers. It's not a sample poll, it's not a slice of the demographic. They can tell not only how many people watched the show, but who watched, for how long and who clicked on what add. Residuals and pay for new media SHOULD have been contracted per viewer. That's how the adds are sold! It's all so finite and countable … just like the days until their next strike when SAG and AFTRA team up to say "Hey, come on, guys! We didn't realize Hulu, Netflix and projectfreetv were taking over the entire market, we were too busy playing Atari in grandma's basement! Give us another shot at this contract thing. But be fair this time." Should be fun.
Im definitely happy we still get to watch!!! What about the soap channel? shouldnt our soaps be on there so none get cancelled?
I wondered that too but I was told that the soap channel is a sister station to abc,SO I GUESS THAT SHOOTS THAT DOWN.

#1 It *had* a huge, built-in fan base or else the show wouldn't have been in last place in the ratings and been cancelled.
#2 Uh, yes it absolutely does "have to work much differently than network television" because it could no longer turn a profit or have a viable future on network television and that is why it was cancelled. If the show doesn't work much, much better than it did in the last few years on television, it will be cancelled.
#3 Didn't Passions or Sunset Beach try this a few years ago and fail?
#4 "If the fans move with them" ???? LOL! Fat chance of that. It'll be interesting to see whether or not these over-dramatic fans (who threatened to boycott ABC and purchase all their vacuum needs from Hoover exclusively) put their money where their mouth is and actually PAY for the content that they used to get for free for the past 40 years. WILL……..NOT…….WORK.
AMC 2.0 and OLTL 2.0 will last no more than 12 months and will be re-cancelled. EPIC FAIL!
Passions moved to DirecTV, not the internet; it lasted about a year.
Thank you. Yes, that was it. And I expect OLTL and AMC to fare as well as Passions did. The Internet has had *ZERO* success, that I can recall, in creating original entertainment content and getting people to pay for it and watch it on a regular basis. Admittedly, that may be starting to change as more people stream movies and shows from sources like Netflix or Hulu, but I will encourage people to "sell" on this idea of AMC and OLTL moving to the Internet until I see that it will work and is sustainable. I just have a hard time believing there's a huge audience out there for two dinosaur shows with limited demographic appeal that could no longer cut it on a broadcast network.
I think it could work. There is some success in the online format, though obviously not as successful as being on a network.
There is a show called Venice that is from the mind of a soap actress, which has actually been doing very well. As far I know it's had two seasons, and the entire second season was funded from subscriptions for the first season; if that isn't a measurement of success I'm not sure what is.
When it comes to down it I think the continued existence of these serials will rely solely on the fanbase. If they don't watch, or aren't willing to pay to watch, then the shows will simply cease to exist.
They don't have to create original content for the Internet. If they preserve as much of the content as possible and simple stream it to the net, and people who want to get larger monitors or web-enable TVs, the quality should be nearly the same. The viewers exist in larger numbers, they will just need to log on intstead of turn on. (And we middle-aged fans will be forced to upgrade our home electronics, big deal. I have been waiting for a good excuse.)
Anyway, thank you Prospect Park. This could prove to be one of those watershed deals, a breakthrough. Taking two legacy TV shows with lots of loyal (maybe slightly older) fans and migrating to the Internet for streaming to web-enabled TVs, laptops, home computers, handhelds, etc.
Please don't skimp on the wardrobes though! Or the writers! And pay David Hayward whatever he wants!
Sounds like maybe you work at ABC in daytime programming and are having regrets(?) ABC should have done the Ask Before you Cut thing. I don't like watching tv on a laptop but I will for sure get a large screen Internet-enabled tv now so I can continue to watch All My Children.
Passions and Sunset Beach fanbase didn't compare to the legions of fans who do watch All My Children and OLTL.
ABC should have been proud to keep these shows on. I hope they negotiated a good licensing fee but they devalued these great shows so much that, on the other hand, I hope that Prospect Park got the best of it.

I love how soap fans, unable to deal with reality, resort to suggesting that I am Brian Fromms or that I currently work in ABC's daytime television department. The truth is that I have posted here regularly for over a year, and mostly on subjects that have nothing to do with All My Illegitimate Children or One Life To Take.
It's personal now. Before I had no opinion on whether or not the soaps should be cancelled. Now I can't wait for all the dejected housewives to stick their heads in their respective microwaves when they find out that their beloved soaps are going to be cancelled by Linkin Park in addition to ABC. How will 300lb Oprah-worshipping, bon-bon addicted housewives with allergic reactions to cleaning find the will to live when they are rejected TWICE? Once by ABC, the next by Gorky Park? Oh the humanity!!!!
OK, sorry for being catty! You voiced your point so strongly, when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, and I think this is the same mistake ABC made. Because we are not housewives, that's just it. We are educated, working professionals who have been recording the show for years and we have more disposable income than a lot of people do. (I've worked in the entertainment industry since the early 1990's.) I'll just upgrade my home electronics — get internet-enabled TV — and keep watching. ABC did not have a good understanding of who the viewers actually are. Professional working women in their 30's – 40's (and beyond) are who watch All My Children. Remember the AMC viewing parties at noon on college campuses across America in the 1980's? We are still watching. This is what ABC has underestimated.
Anyway, I predict that migrating to the Internet will actually add to the viewership because younger people will discover it as well, on their own schedules. Have you watched AMC and seen how attractive the men are on that show?
I voiced my opinion so strongly because I've had to. The soap community has not only not wanted to deal with the reality of their beloved genre, but they've gone out of their way to attack people who disagree with them on the state of soaps in general. I can't count how many times I was accused of being Brian Fromms(I had never even heard of him till Nikki Finke's article) a few weeks ago, and then you come along and question whether I work for ABC. Really? Is that honestly the level of rebuttal and discourse from the pro-soap contingent on these boards? Is that the best counter argument you all have left?
To answer your questions…no, I don't remember soap opera viewing parties in the 80's. I had elementary, middle, and high school to attend. I have a vague memory of Greg and Jenny from AMC when on summer break, and the Ice Princess and Luke and Laura hysteria, but was never a regular viewer of any particular soap. I just follow television news and trends. And I don't give a rat's ass about the attractiveness of any of the men on any of the shows.
Now for the bad news…there was very little hard data and confirmation in the press release as to exactly what format these two shows are going to take at their new home, much less which actors and actresses are going to be asked to stay on, and which ones would even be willing to take a massive pay cut. For some of the long-established actors and actresses, the pay cuts may be so steep as to be not worth their time. I could see a newcomer who is trying to get established in an acting career accept a wage that was barely above scale pay, but I can't see Susan Lucci or Erica Slezak(?) taking a 75% pay cut, especially when both could be hired on for prime time television shows (in fact, I think Lucci has already signed on for PATHETIC HOUSEWIVES). Lucci is a *BRAND NAME*. I honestly can't see her working for peanuts at this point when she can command top dollar for an actress in a prime-time drama (whatever top dollar is for an older actress in a recessionary economy).
By the way, I saw BLACK SWAN 2 weeks ago and was thinking that Natalie Portman could be Susan Lucci's daughter. Very hot the both of them! Back to the soaps….
I just don't buy it. I don't believe for a split-second that these two shows, which had to be trimmed down and relocated to Los Angeles to try and break even, are now going to find a spectacularly profitable new life on the Internet, in a format where soap fans are going to have to pay to watch. These two shows were averaging roughly 2 million viewers a day/week when they were on for free. Do you really, honestly believe soap fans are going to spend 34.95 a month to watch AMC or OLTL? Prospect Park will need every single one of those viewers (and more) to subscribe to the online content for the shows to have a sliver of a chance of being profitable enough to sustain.
All good things have to come to an end. Maybe it's just AMC and OLTL's time. Maybe it's time to let go.
Well I hope these shows do continue production. I don't watch them but I think its a great place for new actors to train.
I am so thankful. I have grown up with Erica and Vicki since high school. I worry what would happen with out watching them and keeping up with what is going on in their lives. It is so nice to be able to take my mind off my problems even for a little while to see what is going on in Pine Valley and Llanview. Yes I will continue to watch them where ever they are. I can see it continuing on Soapnet, as Soapnet is the huge success it is because of the ABC soaps that it started with. And yes I will not watch ABC's new shows I think ABC has made a bad choice in letting these shows go, would it not be justice to see them continue to be a hit and make more money only for ABC to lose. They had no problem upsetting the lives of people for what ever the reason would be justice to see them lose. GO Erica and Vicki
Diane in Florida
Soapnet is actually not a huge success and Disney is scrapping it in favor of a channel target at the toddler market.
SoapNet is going off the air early next year. Only place to watch will be online.
If you really a fan, you'd know the name is spelled Viki.

(Editor's note: This column is updated from its original posting to include the identity and Tribune connection of the story's subject.)
A Salt Lake City man who used to work summers at a landscaping company to put himself through college has learned the hard way that it is better to rely on yourself than government bureaucrats to get something done.
The landscaping company went out of business in 2007 and his last paycheck bounced.
The employee, Cimaron Neugebauer, who now is a Salt Lake Tribune staff writer, filed a complaint with the Utah Labor Commission. The commission worked with the State Office of Debt Collections to get his hard-earned money from the company's owner, who became adept at avoiding collection notices.
But while Neugebauer spent five years communicating with the government offices that are supposed to know how to track down deadbeats, it turns out the bureaucrats had to rely on him rather than the other way around.
Here is a sampling of their correspondence:
After two years of getting nowhere, our stiffed employee, on his own, found the employer had worked at Lowe's but had since left so they couldn't garnish his wages.
The Debt Collection Office thanked him for the update.
Then, from our stiffed employee, who learned his former boss was working as a model, "I am trying to figure out if he has any work with the talent company he is modeling for … I hear from a friend who is an actress, if they work for a talent company, their wages can be garnished through that company.
"He would be considered self-employed, but also would be receiving payment for modeling jobs from his talent agency. Here is the website with his info …"
Neugebauer also found the number for his former boss's brother, which he passed on to the Office of Debt Collections.
He was thanked, then heard no more.
Then he found some more information. "According to court documents, on Dec. 4, 2009, [a private collection agency] mailed to have [the employer] pay a debt, and he paid them. The address they had on file is …"
"Thank you for the update," the state office responded. "I have passed the information on to the collection agency we are using."
This went on for three more years, with our stiffed employee doing all the legwork. Finally, this month, thanks to his own efforts, the employer was tracked down, had wages garnished and finally paid the money he owed.
Wonder if our guy gets a tax deduction for doing the state's work?
More government at work • Joe Gillies, a waiter in Salt Lake City, needed some court documents from the Tooele court to complete his application for a license related to his work. His mother lives near the court in Stansbury Park and agreed to pick up the documents for him.
But when she got to the court on a recent Friday at about 3 p.m., the offices were closed, despite the posted closing time of 4:30 p.m.
She mentioned the frustration to her neighbor, who is a bailiff, and he responded: "Well, it's Friday. You know how it is on Fridays."
Church and state • The State Department of Workforce Services recently listed a job opening at a commercial carpet cleaning company.
One of the requirements posted on the state site was that the applicant must have an LDS Church temple recommend.
One job hunter who wondered about the state posting such a requirement was told that part of the company's responsibilities is to clean carpets at LDS temples. Hence the recommend.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Brunswick County entrepreneur and Campbell University trustee, philanthropist and Distinguished Alumnus Ed Gore ('52) died in his sleep Tuesday night, according to his family.
Gore and his wife Dinah have been a key force in Campbell University's expansion in recent years. Ed Gore has helped lead several capital campaigns, and the school's football field, basketball arena, chapel bell tower and prayer room all bear his family's name. The Gores are also co-founders of a major resource for students and faculty at Campbell — the Gore Center for Servant Leadership, which is dedicated to the development of several leadership skills through projects, internships, course work and other opportunities.
Gore also helped shape modern-day Brunswick County as a developer and philanthropist. A second-generation developer, he raised many of the structures at Sunset Beach on North Carolina's coast and was involved in numerous other development projects in that area.
A member of Campbell College's Class of 1952, Gore has served as chairman of the Campbell University Foundation, in addition to his role as trustee. The Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising and managing private support for the school.
In 2006, he was named a Distinguished Alumnus. In 2007, Ed and Dinah Gore received Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees for their civic and professional contributions to Campbell.

Recently had a miscarriage , when is a good time to start trying again?
I have recently had a miscarriage to a set of twins, my partner and I want to start trying again, but we dont know how long after we should wait to start trying?
if any one has ideas on whens a best time to start trying, could you let me know?
1st May 2013 07:14 PM #2
Hi Hannah -
I am so sorry about your miscarriage.
I don't know that their is any clear answer to this question. The answer comes from when you feel ready both physically and emotionally. If you lost a lot of blood during the miscarriage it may be beneficial to wait until your iron stores build up. When a planning pregnancy it is always beneficial to do some preconception care. Making sure you are in top physical shape helps ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
From a practical point of view it is helpful to try again after you've experience a period following the miscarriage. This way you can note the first day of your last menstrual period which is very helpful when calculating your estimated due date.

I also had a miscarriage and my husband and I both both feel that we are ready... We've been trying but I am not getting pregnant? What may be the problem?
4th August 2013 01:02 AM #4
I've put some comments about this in your question here.
I wish you and healthy and happy pregnancy.
