AWS brings Workspaces to Australia at a premium price
Small-scale rig keeps prices high down under
Posted in Cloud, 16th May 2014 04:23 GMT
Amazon Web Services has flicked the switch on its 'Workspaces' desktop-a-as-service offering in its Sydney region.
There's nothing new about the service, which as we've previously noted isn't at its best when consumed over high-latency links. AWS tells us Australian users can expect about 90 milliseconds less latency than was the case when accessing offshore bit barns, which should make the service viable for local users.
There's one small wrinkle: a price premium.
Here's global pricing for Workspaces' four tiers:
US East | US West | EU | Sydney | |
Standard | $35.00 | $35.00 | $37.00 | $45.00 |
Standard Plus | $50.00 | $50.00 | $52.00 | $60.00 |
Performance | $60.00 | $60.00 | $64.00 | $75.00 |
Performance Plus | $75.00 | $75.00 | $79.00 | $90.00 |
Those prices are all in US dollars so the Sydney region isn't cheap, even taking into account the ten per cent goods and services tax payable on just about everything down under. Even once we take factor in that tax, the premium is about $US6/month for the Standard Workspace's Sydney incarnation.
Amazon's told us the price difference is down to higher costs for people, rent, connectivity and just about everything else in Australia. The comparatively small scale of the local Workspaces rig also pushes up price, but we were told AWS will as ever seek to do something about that if more users clamber aboard and help it to achieve economies of scale. ®

President Obama's healthcare reform law skews healthcare funding in a way that would put many of the nation's medical programs at risk if the law is repealed, the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Health subcommittee warned Wednesday.
The remarks from Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) are surprising because Republicans - including Shelby - have been calling for the law's repeal ever since it was passed. In his opening statement at a hearing on the Health and Human Services Department's proposed budget for FY 2013, Shelby suggested lawmakers should start taking a hard look at the impact of repealing the law as the Supreme Court this month prepares to hear hours of arguments for why it should strike it down.
"The administration has used the Affordable Care Act's mandatory spending, which is not subject to a vote by Congress every year, to backfill key discretionary programs," Shelby said in his opening remarks.
"The administration then diverts discretionary dollars to fund new programs. When the Affordable Care Act is repealed, many important programs like Community Health Centers and the [federal] Immunization program at the Centers for Disease Control will be in jeopardy because their base funding has been so significantly reduced."
Shelby also raised concerns with the budget's flat-funding of medical research at the National Institutes of Health, at $31 billion. The administration says it is overhauling its NIH grant-making process in order to increase the number of new research grants.

They're worried that if we take off the hangman's noose, we'll fall off the chair?
Cowards all.
It was always about overwhelming the system.
An integral part of the plan was to create a monstrosity that would wreak havoc whether it was repealed or not.
Paving the road for romney - "O'Romneycare"...coming to a government near you in November.
That's why you get the big paycheck, Senator. To fix messes like this.
Don't worry we'll get over it!
Just repeal the whole mess and consider any good part of any legislation.
I personally believe, that despite his promises to the contrary, a President Romney would decide that it would be too harmful to totally repeal Obamacare. He'll do what he has said he would do before .... 'keep the good parts' .... and tinker around the edges with the rest. The cancer that is Obamacare has already metastasized into the system .... and into the brains of certain RINOs/Republicans/Romney.
All he's saying is that Obamacare diverted funds from other programs, and they will need to be restored if Obamacare is repealed. Seems rather obvious.
But I guess we can't expect people to actually analyze information and do stuff in an intelligent manner.
Last week John McDole was on Greta talking about repealing and replacing.......BSBSBSBS
Somebody here disputed my contention that this made Shelby a classic RINO.
Well, now you see it ~ Shelby is a RINO.
It's easier for a tiger to change its stripes than it is for a RINO to become a Conservative Republican.
Absolutely. Repeal the Damned thing and let us worry about that later.
We can fix anything in a short while without Obamacare.
What we cannot fix is what we will get if we keep it.
Just repeal it. We'll take our chances.
Shelby is a converted Republican! Used to be Democrat!!!
Now almost a year later a member of the LOYAL republican opposition worries, I repeat worries repealing it. Senator you are cya with excuses not to repeal or not to fund 0bama/Romneycare.
The only thing both parties are LOYAL to is getting REELECTED so they can feed at the taxpayers trough for another term.
Of course they cave (or lied-or both) Why should the feckless Republicans actually do anything that the vast majority of the American public want??
I am Alabama born and live here. Shelby is one of my senators. Shelby is a bum. I will claim Sessions. Not Shelby. EVERY and I mean EVERY thing that I have sent to the both of them and my congressman Mike Rogers has been answered by Sessions and Rogers. NEVER has Shelby responded to ANYTHING, NOTHING. SILENCE.
When adults look at this bill, they can see how its drafters knitted threads from it to every nook and government cranny they could to prevent repeal, or to make repeal painful. Adults will see past all that crap, and TRASH THE WHOLE GD THING. IF a lawmaker can not see that, then that lawmaker is a either a fool or a 'Rat.
And so the usual GOP crapfest begins.
If a mafia enforcer stood behind each one to ensure they kept their promises and did the right thing the gutless bastards would still equivocate and then fold.
This all amounts to the same situation as 1775; tyranny and taxation without real representation.
Good time to start zero-based budgeting for all departments.
All hes saying is that Obamacare diverted funds from other programs, and they will need to be restored if Obamacare is repealed."
That may be what he thinks needs to happen but I don't think that necessarily true. There is such an accounting mess in DC that we might be better off cancelling everything and starting over. It seems to take Congress five new laws or regs to fix one enacted previously and it generally ends up being worse than when it first began.
This is a bill congress didn't write, they didn't read, no one wants, and yet you have Repubs afraid to repeal it.
God help us.
See - we can't repeal it. It's too important.
Now why don't you little people go pay your taxes? We need raises. :)
Isn't that so like a stinking politician; they proclaim a problem so they, the politicians can dump billions of our money into a solution that the people DO NOT WANT because it includes unaffordable/unconstitutional mandates and erodes the people's liberties. The citizen outrage continues to grow so the politicians pander and say they will repeal the solution (only because they want to be reelected) and soon start admitting the solution is actually worse than the original problem. So it has now evolved to the political mantra that the solution can't be repealed because repealing it will cost too much money and will create more problems and exacerbate the original problem. While they're stepping in high cotton on our dime due to their laws and regulations we the people are left to wade neck deep in their created swill. Anybody else getting sick of this crap?
"The administration then diverts discretionary dollars to fund new programs. When the Affordable Care Act is repealed, many important programs like Community Health Centers and the [federal] Immunization program at the Centers for Disease Control will be in jeopardy because their base funding has been so significantly reduced."
And so it begins......
If our elected officials (most of them lawyers), had read the bill before passing it, they would have seen the poison pill in the contract.
Instead of simply the Stupid Party they now need to be known as The Stupid and Cowardly Party.
I think they are already the latter, but in the interest of truth in advertising, they need to make it official.
A massive number of people wrote, telephoned and emailed Congress to express their very negative views on Obamacare before it was deemed passed. As Ben Franklin put it, "a republic, if you can keep it".
This is actually an important note for conservatives.
An essential part of Obamacare was that it had to destroy Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care systems, so that it could absorb their functions. And this is probably the only successful thing Obamacare has accomplished. Those systems are in tatters.
So if the Republicans "just kill" Obamacare, it will result in a disaster. It has to be a "controlled demolition" to get rid of the damned thing, without suddenly throwing millions of people "out on the street", with no support at all.
Republicans have to plan *right now* on how they are going to bring about an end to Obamacare "safely".
This is terribly hard. They do not want to bring back Medicare and Medicaid, which are unstable and collapsing, so they must devise some stable replacement, with hopefully far less government involvement, until private systems can fill the gap.
Any bill to repeal it all could also return funding mechanisms to their previous state.
I swear these people are going to force this to end in bloodshed.
Good time to start zero-based budgeting for all departments.
Excellent point! Though it's always a good time for that most necessary reform.
We can't afford and we do not need discretionary programs. I'd be quiet happy if those items enumerated in the Constitution were funded. No more, no less. The rest goes to the several States and the People.
YES! Totally agree. So shut up and fix it, SENATOR!
>>I personally believe, that despite his promises to the contrary, a President Romney would decide that it would be too harmful to totally repeal Obamacare. Hell do what he has said he would do before .... keep the good parts .... and tinker around the edges with the rest.<<
And I personally believe that you're absolutely correct. If the GOP nominates Romney, we'll be better off with Obama as President for four more years because a GOP Congress can defund ObamaCare. But if Romney is President, we'll get exactly what you fear, tinkering around the edges, because the GOP will fall in behind their "leader."
Of course, four more years of Obama and maybe health care will be the least of our concerns.
"It was always about overwhelming the system."
Exactly; it was about destroying private-sector healthcare.
Never Again? In my opinion, ObamaCare is Holocaust II with Death Panels instead of showers and wooden soap. Big Brother and his Big Sis will determine who lives and who dies. Anyone wonder what the Regime's database has on each of us to decide if we get healthcare or a Hospice Pill? I'm sure being Freepers doesn't add to our resumes.

There is no doubt in my mind that if he could get away with it, 0bama would make Hitler and Stalin look like Boy Scouts.
If 0bamacare is not repealed, the evil bastard is well on his way.
May God have Mercy on the United states.
every once in awhile Shelby dawns his Democrat hat!! He cain't hep it. He was born with his foot in his mouth!
This is not the year and this is not the time...but, I think it is time for a new party. A truly realistic move toward a third party.
Our present two party system is broken and corrupt. I see people on both sides of the aisle that shouldn't be sitting in the positions of power that they currently hold.
The Framers should have put term limits within the Constitution. Yes, we can vote them out. But, unfortunately, too many people in this country are disengaged from what is really going on in Washington.
This allows these politicians to continually grab power through their political machines and money bases. The average citizen cannot begin to run a viable political race against these individuals.
I don't think our Founders ever envisioned this happening.
There's no need to impose any thinking on this thread. This is the emotive forum!
Nope, they were in on this from the get go, else Boehner would have defunded it. Instead he caught Bachman to keep the funding in, lying in the process.
>> Obamacare was never about health care.
That's right. It's about control.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — New Bucks owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens admit they may have made some errors in luring Jason Kidd to Milwaukee.
That doesn't mean they aren't happy to have him as the Bucks' new coach.
"Our one goal is to hire people to run it, that know what they're doing," Edens said. "Jason is someone I've admired as a player. He did a great job managing the Nets this year and we think he's the best young coaching talent in basketball."
Kidd, who was formally introduced Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, said there were no hard feelings over his abrupt and surprising departure from Brooklyn, where he won 44 games and reached the second round of the playoffs as a first-year head coach.
Kidd dismissed the suggestion that he left after being turned down in seeking control of the Nets' basketball operations department. And he said he had no plans to seek a similar role in Milwaukee, where general manager John Hammond is under contract through the 2015-16 season.
"They are not true," Kidd said. "It's not about power. You guys ran with that. It's not about power. As I was introduced, I'm the coach."
Brooklyn agreed Monday to deal Kidd to Milwaukee for second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2019. The Bucks fired Larry Drew, who had no indication he wouldn't be back for a second season. The whole affair was messy and played out in the media for days before the deal was announced, overshadowing the positive buzz surrounding the Bucks' selection of Duke star Jabari Parker with the No. 2 overall draft pick.
Lasry said it was wrong to not bring Hammond into the loop earlier in the process, which began last week when the owners sought permission from the Nets to speak with Kidd. Lasry and Kidd are friends.
"We were asked to keep it confidential," Lasry said. "In retrospect, that was a mistake. I would tell you that it was very much newness. We've learned a lot in this process. Our view, and it hasn't changed from the beginning, is that all the basketball operations goes through John. In this process, we learned we made a mistake."
Lasry and Edens said once the initial discussion took place and news leaked out, Hammond took over the negotiation with Nets GM Billy King.
If Hammond felt threatened by Kidd's presence, he wasn't showing it.
"The last four days have been have been great for this organization," Hammond said. "I've never felt the kind of excitement that's surrounding our team - people are talking about the Bucks and want to know what's going on with our team - and that's a great thing."
Kidd spoke confidently about Hammond, who spent seven seasons as an assistant to Pistons' GM Joe Dumars before joining the Bucks in April 2008.
"He is great. He's a leader," Kidd said. "He understands the league. He's been doing it for a long time. I trust him like no other."
Kidd didn't offer much explanation of his reasoning for taking the job in Milwaukee, where he inherits a team that finished a league-worst 15-67 a year ago but adds Parker to a group that includes 19-year-old Greek phenom Giannis Antetokounpo, forward John Henson and center Larry Sanders.
He downplayed questions about moving from the NBA's largest market to its smallest.
"I've played in big markets and I've played in small markets," Kidd said. "It's not about the market, it's about being able to teach and I have a great opportunity here in Milwaukee to be part of a young, talented roster."
Edens and Lasry, both New York investment firm executives, recently purchased the team from former U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl for about $550 million after they pledged to keep the team in Milwaukee. Lasry and Edens have committed to providing $100 million to help build a new arena. Kohl also announced he would donate $100 million for a new facility to replace the team's downtown arena, which opened in 1988.

Tag: frac
Function: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction.
Stylistic Alternates
Tag: salt
Function: Many fonts contain alternate glyph designs for a purely esthetic effect; these don't always fit into a clear category like swash or historical. As in the case of swash glyphs, there may be more than one alternate form. This feature replaces the default forms with the stylistic alternates. The user applies this feature to Industria to get the alternate form of g.
Above-Base Substitutions
Tag: abvs
Function: Substitutes a ligature for a base glyph and mark that's above it. In complex scripts like Kannada (Indic), the vowel sign for the vowel I which a mark, is positioned above base consonants. This mark combines with the consonant Ga to form a ligature.
Tag: akhn
Function: Preferentially substitutes a sequence of characters with a ligature. This substitution is done irrespective of any characters that may precede or follow the sequence. In complex scripts like Devanagari (Indic), the sequence Ka, Halant, Ssa should always produce the ligature Kssa, irrespective of characters that precede/follow the above given sequence. The Kssa is identified in Devanagari as an Akhand character (meaning unbreakable).
Below-Base Forms
Tag: blwf
Function: Substitutes the below-base form of a consonant in conjuncts. In complex scripts like Oriya (Indic), the consonant Va has a below-base form that is used to generate conjuncts. Given a sequence Gha, Virama (Halant), Va; the below-base form of Va would be substituted to form the conjunct GhVa.
Below-Base Substitutions
Tag: blws
Function: Produces ligatures that comprise of base glyph and below-base forms. In the Malayalam script (Indic), the conjunct Kla, requires a ligature which is formed using the base glyph Ka and the below-base form of consonant La. This feature can also be used to substitute ligatures formed using base glyphs and below base matras in Indic scripts.
Conjunct Forms
Tag: cjct
Function: This feature allows for control over re-ordering of reph and pre-pended matras in case of consonants that do not take half forms yet do form conjunct ligatures in combination with certain following consonants.
Half Forms
Tag: half
Function: Produces the half forms of consonants in Indic scripts. In Hindi (Devanagari script), the conjunct KKa, obtained by doubling the Ka, is denoted with a half form of Ka followed by the full form.
Nukta Forms
Tag: nukt
Function: Produces Nukta forms in Indic scripts. In Hindi (Devanagari script), a consonant when combined with a nukta gives its nukta form.
Pre-base Substitutions
Tag: pres
Function: Produces the pre-base forms of conjuncts in Indic scripts. It can also be used to substitute the appropriate glyph variant for pre-base vowel signs. In the Gujarati (Indic) script, the doubling of consonant Ka requires the first Ka to be substituted by its pre-base form. This in turn ligates with the second Ka. Applying this feature would result in the ligaturised version of the doubled Ka.
Post-base Substitutions
Tag: psts
Function: Substitutes a sequence of a base glyph and post-base glyph, with its ligaturised form. In the Malayalam (Indic) script, the consonant Va has a post base form. When the Va is doubled to form a conjunct- VVa; the first Va [base] and the post base form that follows it, is substituted with a ligature.
Rakar Forms
Tag: rkrf
Function: Produces conjoined forms for consonants with rakar in Devanagari and Gujarati scripts.
Reph Form
Tag: rphf
Function: Substitutes the Reph form for a consonant and halant sequence. In the Devanagari (Indic) script, the consonant Ra possesses a reph form. When the Ra is a syllable initial consonant and is followed by the virama, it is repositioned after the post base vowel sign within the syllable, and also substituted with a mark that sits above the base glyph.
Vattu Variants
Tag: vatu
Function: Substitutes ligatures for conjuncts made up of base consonants with consonants that have vattu forms. In the Devanagari (Indic) script, the consonant Ra takes a vattu form, when it is not the syllable initial consonant in a conjunct. This form ligates with the base consonant as well as half forms of consonants.

My friend was looking for something delicious to make for dinner and stumbled across Crispy Southwestern Chicken Wraps. We were both salivating as we stared at the picture. These wraps are super fast to make and a frugal way to use up left over chicken and rice.
Normally I have a container of plain Greek yogurt in the refrigerator. The past two week I switched to vanilla just for a change of taste. I like to use plain Greek yogurt in the place of sour cream in most recipes because Greek yogurt has more protein, and less fat than sour cream. On this particular day I resorted to using a little cream cheese in the place of the sour cream. The burritos were fine. If anything they were just really creamy. So in emergencies cream cheese is ok. But next time I will make sure I specify plain yogurt on my shopping list rather than just yogurt.
Source: Adapted fromMels Kitchen Cafe
*Makes 6 wraps*
1 cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 green onion, finely sliced (white and green parts)
1/2 red or green pepper, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded cheese (combination of monterey jack and sharp cheddar)
Sour cream (optional)
6 burrito-sized flour tortillas
Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla.
**If using sour cream dot the cheese with about 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center**
Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open.
Optional: brush the tortillas all over with oil.
Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.

Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and 'thine' and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.
~Henri J.M. Nouwen
Let's celebrate what is good in our lives–who is amazing in our lives–and be grateful. Have a good one, friends.

The project is targeting demonstrations in 2012 or 2013 of the unmanned component for a next-generation close air support system.
DARPA has set different performance requirements for unmanned versions. An unmanned variant of the A-10 would have to demonstrate comparable endurance to the manned version, while a purpose-built UAS would have to equal the persistence of the MQ-1 or MQ-9.
The payload of weapons and sensors sought by DARPA is comparable with the MQ-9, with only 907-2,270kg (2,000-5,000lb) requested. The aircraft, however, should have more agility than the Reaper
2. DARPA is planning an April test flight for a prototype of a hypersonic weapon
The flight test is part of the Falcon program, a Darpa-Air Force project to develop the tech that could lead to a reusable hypersonic vehicle that could take off and land like a plane. It would carry 12,000 pounds of payload over 9,000 nautical miles in less than two hours.
3. DARPA is launching the next phase of its Revolutionizing Prosthetics program, which was started in 2000 with the goal of creating a fully-functioning, neurally-controlled human limb within five years.
They're currently doing human trials of the DEKA Arm, a prosthetic that allows users to complete day-to-day tasks with unprecedented ease. That arm uses a joystick-style interface, with a user tapping commands with their toes to trigger movements with the arm. At Johns Hopkins, DARPA-funded researchers are still working on an arm that uses a 100-sensor neural interface to create a brain-body meld much like what's inherent in natural limbs.
But although DARPA had hoped to have a fully-functional, neuro-prosthetic model ready by 2010, the agency's researchers have yet to master the integration of human neural pathways with artificial platforms.
DARPA's launching a new program, Histology for Interface Stability Over Time, in hopes of creating not only a neurally-controlled limb, but one that has a 70-year lifespan and flawless integration with the human body.

John Phillips: 'Swatting' celebs much worse than a prank
Kids love to play pranks. Whether they make crank phone calls, festoon houses with toilet paper or leave flaming bags of dog doo on porches, adolescents are more than willing to be mean to each other to get a cheap laugh. After all, one definition of comedy is when something bad happens to someone else.
But innocent pranks cross the line when you come close to getting your intended victim killed. And that's exactly what's been going with the recent epidemic of "swatting."
It's also why Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 333, an anti-swatting measure carried by Torrance Democratic Sen. Ted Lieu.
In case you're not familiar with it, swatting goes something like this: A caller, frequently using a phony number and calling from a different city, state or country than the targeted individual, places a 911 call, reporting an emergency, typically an armed intruder, at the target's house. The goal is to have police send a SWAT team to the address to deal with a nonexistent gunman.
These calls typically are made in the middle of the night, when the unsuspecting saps are asleep or otherwise not expecting police officers to kick down their doors with loaded guns pointed at their faces. Officers then take the victim, and anyone else in the house, into custody until they figure out that it was all a cruel joke. The cherry on top of the sundae is that all parties involved are traumatized by a near-death experience. That is, if you're lucky enough not to actually get shot.
Not exactly playing gotcha by putting someone's bra in the freezer.
According to LA Weekly newspaper, swatters over the past year have preyed on Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber – all of whom have had their homes stormed by the police.
Also targeted were four prominent conservative bloggers and activists: Mike Stack, Erick Erickson, Aaron Walker and Patrick Fey.
In each instance, the caller told the 911 dispatcher that he just killed his wife and, in Erickson's case, said, "I'm gonna shoot someone else soon."
Enter the SWAT team, stage right.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in these hoaxes, but that's just luck.
Put yourself in their situation: You are laying in bed when, suddenly, strangers kick in your door and point a gun at you. If you have your own gun nearby, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to defend yourself. But, guess what, if you get involved in a shootout with the SWAT team, you're going to lose.
Swatting is playing Russian roulette with five bullets in the cylinder.
Under Sen. Lieu's bill, a person convicted of making a false emergency report would be held liable for all costs associated with the law enforcement response. Estimates range from several thousand to more than $10,000 per episode.
This is absurd. Getting a DUI might cost you 10 grand. Swatting could result in the police mistakenly wiping out an entire family. At a minimum, this is attempted murder.
But, it looks like we will have to wait until somebody is actually killed before we take this violent crime as seriously as we should. It's just a shame that we perhaps would have to wait for a cast member from our favorite show to be turned into a piece of Swiss cheese before we admit that this is much more than an innocent "prank."

Marvolo Gaunt's Ring
Redirected from Gaunt's Ring
this wiki
- "See this? See this? Know what it is? Know where it came from? Centuries it's been in our family, that's how far back we go, and pure-blood all the way! Know how much I've been offered for this, with the Peverell coat of arms engraved on the stone?"
- —Marvolo Gaunt brandishing his ring at Bob Ogden[src]
Marvolo Gaunt's Ring[citation needed] was an heirloom of the House of Gaunt, descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Cadmus Peverell. It is a gold ring inset with a black stone (actually the Resurrection Stone, but neither Marvolo Gaunt nor Lord Voldemort were aware of its existence) engraved with what Marvolo Gaunt called the Peverell coat of arms (having come into the Gaunt line from an heiress of the Peverells, not the Slytherin family), which is actually the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. The signet ring passed through the male Gaunts, generation to generation, until it was stolen from Morfin Gaunt by Tom Riddle while Tom framed Morfin for the murders of the Riddle family.
While at Hogwarts, Tom openly wore the ring. He later made the ring into his second Horcrux. Tom did not enchant the ring right away, as he was seen wearing it while asking Horace Slughorn about Horcruxes, as seen through Slughorn's memories in a pensieve.
In 1996, Albus Dumbledore retrieved the ring, eventually destroying it with Godric Gryffindor's Sword.
Peverell possession
- "Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death."
- —The Tale of the Three Brothers by Beedle the Bard[src]
The ring's story begins (and ends) with its black stone. The stone happened to be the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows of legend, and had the symbol of the Deathly Hallows engraved on its surface. According to The Tale of the Three Brothers, Cadmus Peverell, the middle brother, asked Death for the power to return people from the dead. Death supposedly picked up a black stone from the nearby river bank and gave it to Cadmus, promising him that it contained the power he had requested.
Once Cadmus returned to his home, he took out the Resurrection Stone and turned it over in his hand three times. In doing so, he brought back his lover who had suffered an untimely death. While she did return from the dead, she was not truly alive and wished to go back to the world of the dead since she no longer belonged in the living world. For Cadmus, it was like being able to see her but not able to touch her or truly be with her. Seeing the stone's limitations drove Cadmus to madness, and he took his own life to truly join his love in death.
Gaunt family possession
- "Marvolo Gaunt was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry. If that ring had been passed down through the centuries, he might not have known what it really was. There were no books in that house, and trust me, he wasn't the type to read fairy tales to his kids. He'd had loved to think that scratches on the stone were a coat of arms, because as far as he was concerned, having pure-blood made you practically royal."
- —Harry Potter regarding Gaunt's ignorance of the Hallows, despite possessing one of them[src]
The stone passed down Cadmus' family line. At some point, it was placed into a gold setting and made into a ring. The ring continued to be passed down the family line, eventually ending up in the hands of the Gaunts. Marvolo Gaunt, the family's patriarch at the time, prized this ring (along with Salazar Slytherin's Locket) more than anything (even his own daughter, Merope). When the family was visited by Ministry of Magic official Bob Ogden, Marvolo waved the ring in front of his face in an attempt to impress and intimidate Ogden. When Marvolo and his son Morfin Gaunt were arrested and imprisoned for assaulting Muggles and Ministry officials, his daughter Merope Gaunt abandoned the family to escape the mental torture her father continuously employed against her, taking Salazar Slytherin's Locket with her.
When Marvolo returned home, he had expected to find his daughter dutifully awaiting his return. What he found however was a house covered with an inch of dust and a note from Merope explaining what she had done and why. Marvolo died shortly thereafter, either due to his inability to take care of himself or the weakening of his strength from Azkaban. The signet ring passed to Morfin when he was finally released from Azkaban, and he continued to wear it in his delusional state for several years afterward.
Tom Riddle's possession
- "Harry saw that he was wearing Marvolo's gold-and-black ring; he had already killed his father."
- —Tom Riddle wearing the Gaunt ring while at Hogwarts[src]
Some years later, Tom Marvolo Riddle returned to Little Hangleton to seek out his family. He had been expecting to meet Marvolo, but instead found the half-crazed Morfin in the Gaunt shack. Morfin remarked how Riddle looked very much like the muggle that had married his sister, Tom Riddle Snr. He told Riddle how Riddle Snr had abandoned Merope and returned to his parents' home, the Riddle House. Upon learning of his father's abandonment (and thus feeling that he had caused Merope's death), Riddle stunned Morfin and took his wand. He then proceeded to the Riddle House to confront his father. Frank Bryce, the Riddle's gardener, remarked later that he had seen Riddle ascending the hill toward the house. Riddle used a common spell to unlock the door and entered the house. Once inside, Riddle found his father, as well as his grandparents, Thomas Riddle and Mary Riddle, in the drawing room. Riddle then used the Killing Curse on his father and Muggle grandparents.
It is unknown if there were any words exchanged between them before the actual murders took place, but what is certain is that the Riddles were found dead in their drawing room, with looks of extreme fear on their faces. Riddle returned to the Gaunt shack and modified Morfin's memory to make him believe that he had killed the Riddles himself. Riddle replaced Morfin's wand on his person but absconded with the ring. When Morfin was arrested by the Ministry and found guilty of the Riddle murders, he was carted off to Azkaban for good this time. As he was being taken away, he continuously remarked that his father would kill him for losing the ring.
Riddle openly wore the ring at Hogwarts after these events, as seen on his hand in a memory provided by Potions Master Horace Slughorn. Riddle then questioned Slughorn about Horcruxes, particularly what would happen to the wizard that created more than one. By this point, Riddle had already created his first Horcrux, his childhood diary, with the murder of a fellow student named Myrtle. At some point shortly before or after his graduation from Hogwarts, Riddle used the murder of his father, Tom Riddle Snr to turn the ring into a Horcrux. After that, he lost interest in wearing it any longer and chose to return it to the very place he had stolen it from: the Gaunt shack. He placed the ring inside a golden box and hid it beneath the shack's rotting floorboards. He then set up many protective enchantments to deter outsiders from entering the shack and finding the ring. He also placed a powerful curse on the ring as well, one that would quickly lead to the death of the ring's wearer if not stemmed. The ring was left there in the ruin of the Gaunt shack for many decades to come. In his entire time of possessing the ring, Riddle either never knew its powers or status as the Resurrection Stone, or simply did not have any use for it, as he fears the dead and does not wish to bring back anyone.
Destruction by Albus Dumbledore
In 1996, Albus Dumbledore continued investigating Riddle's obsession with immortality and his fascination with Horcruxes. Dumbledore suspected that a good place to look for one of Riddle's Horcruxes would be the Gaunt shack, considering its importance to Riddle's past. Dumbledore travelled to Little Hangleton and found the remains of the shack, hidden amongst many weeds and brush. Dumbledore succeeded in passing through the enchantments protecting the shack and discovered the golden box holding the ring beneath the shack's floorboards. He brought the sword of Godric Gryffindor with him as it now had the power to destroy Horcruxes since Harry had used it to kill the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, which imbued the blade with the Basilisk's venom.
However, Dumbledore recognised the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the ring's black stone and recognised it as the Resurrection Stone, something for which Dumbledore had searched for the greater part of his life. Hoping to revive his dead family members (particularly his sister Ariana Dumbledore), he disregarded the ring's status as a Horcrux and put it on. This enacted the ring's deadly curse, and it began to quickly spread through Dumbledore's body, starting with the hand on which he had put the ring. After Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, he used Godric Gryffindor's Sword to crack the Resurrection Stone so as to destroy it as a Horcrux. While the act did destroy the ring as one of Riddle's Horcruxes, it did not stop the fatal curse.
After the horcrux was destroyed, Dumbledore continued to wear the ring for several more days. Most notably, he wore it when he picked up Harry Potter from Privet Drive and took him to persuade Horace Slughorn to teach at Hogwarts. During their meeting, it is said that Dumbledore specifically displayed the ring to Slughorn, who stared at it for several seconds. This implies that he recognised the ring as having belonged to Tom Riddle. Therefore, Dumbledore may have specifically worn the ring—which would indicate his success in tracking down Voldemort's past—both to help encourage Slughorn to return to Hogwarts, and to help persuade him to turn over the correct version of the memory.
Placing the Stone within the Snitch
- "The metal shell broke open... the black stone with is jagged crack running down the centre sat in the two halves of the Snitch. The Resurrection Stone had cracked down the vertical line representing the Elder Wand. The triangle and circle representing the Cloak and the stone were still discernible."
- —Harry opens the snitch [src]
Before his death at Snape's hands, Dumbledore magically sealed the cracked Resurrection Stone inside the Snitch that Harry had caught at his first ever Quidditch match. Dumbledore wrote, "I open at the close", to indicate that it would only open and yield the Resurrection Stone when Harry was about to accept death at the hands of Voldemort. After Dumbledore's death, Rufus Scrimgeour delivered the snitch to Harry, along with other possessions left to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Immediately before he surrendered to Voldemort, Harry placed the snitch to his lips and whispered "I am about to die", and it opened.
Harry then used the Resurrection Stone to bring back the spirits of James Potter, Lily Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. These spirits then comforted Harry as he walked toward his supposed death and shielded Harry from the effects of the Dementors guarding the Death Eaters' camp in the forest. Upon reaching Voldemort's camp in the Forbidden Forest, Harry dropped the Resurrection Stone near Aragog's lair. After having been dropped in the Forbidden Forest by Harry, the Resurrection Stone was pressed into the earth by the hoof of a centaur, and would never be found again.[1]
- "He was standing inside a ruined stone shack, and the rotting floorboards were ripped apart at his feet, a disinterred golden box lay open and empty beside the hole, and Voldemort's scream of fury vibrated inside his head."
- —Harry witnessing Voldemort discovering his missing Horcrux[src]
After Voldemort discovered that Harry was hunting his Horcruxes, Voldemort decided to make sure that each of his Horcruxes was still safe and to increase their protection. He decided that the ring was perhaps the least safe, and thus visited the shack first. Upon discovering that the ring had in fact disappeared, Voldemort let out a scream of fury and quickly left to check the security of his other Horcruxes.
Physical appearance
The ring is gold and set with a large, cracked, black stone, the crack appearing after Dumbledore struck the stone with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. It is, in Harry's eyes, an ugly ring that was made somewhat clumsily out of gold, probably a testament to the rudimentary skills and tools used to craft it. The ring had the sign of the Deathly Hallows on the black stone: a triangle (to represent the Cloak of Invisibility), containing a circle (to represent the Resurrection stone), bisected by a line (to represent the the Elder Wand). Marvolo Gaunt wore the ring on his middle finger, instead of on the more conventional "ring" or "index" fingers. Morfin Gaunt wore it on his right hand's ring finger, while Tom Riddle wore it on left middle finger.
To protect his Horcrux, Tom Riddle placed the ring under a very powerful curse, so much so that Albus Dumbledore himself mentioned that had it not been for his prodigious skill, he might have died in mere moments of being cursed. Severus Snape was extremely angry to find out Dumbledore had not proceeded with caution when it came to breaking open the ring. Even so, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape were only able to delay the curse's effects for roughly a year. Unknown to either the Gaunts or Riddle, however, the stone in it was the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows.
Behind the scenes
- The ring is the only item that is both a Hallow and a Horcrux.
- Though the stone was damaged from when Dumbledore destroyed the Horcrux, it still worked perfectly as the Resurrection Stone.
- Voldemort used a ring as one of his Horcruxes. This is similar to the dark lord Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, who puts part of his power in the One Ring, which is Sauron's only container of power, whereas Voldemort had seven.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore refers to the ring as having belonged to Voldemort's mother. However, in a deleted scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that the ring belonged to Voldemort's grandfather.[2] Additionally, when Harry touches the ring, there is a flash of images as the ring reacts to him, which Dumbledore explains as an identifiable trace of lingering Dark magic.
- In the books the ring is described as being ugly and clumsily made; in the films the ring is more detailed, with a design of snakes biting the stone.
- Collectible replicas of Marvolo Gaunt's Ring are made by the Noble Collection.
- In Deathly Hallows: Part 1, there is a flashback of Dumbledore trying on the ring. However, he tries it on his middle finger instead of his ring finger, as shown in Half-Blood Prince, and instead of the ring flying from his hands, it merely glows and forces his hand away as he touches it.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Who makes the better entrepreneur, young or old? It's not too late to enter your opinion in the Entrepreneurs Channel live survey, posted here. In the past 5 days, no fewer than 96 entrepreneurs, in addition to voting, have sent the details of their stories to me. The youngest to respond is 16. The oldest: 85.
I've only reviewed about a third of the emails I've gotten so far, so if you posted a message and I haven't yet responded, be patient. I hope to get to you soon. Today I'd like to introduce Alex Parker, the 16 year old Founder and CEO of Brand Strategix, a national internet marketing and web development firm (young enough I actually felt the need to ask his permission to post his photograph here). He's barely old enough to drive, but Alex founded his company this year, May 2012, and has a first year revenue goal of $200,000. To get past the stigma of being too young or too small a company to deliver, he secured a gold credibility rating on Dun and Bradstreet (not bad!) and managed through sheer will and chutzpah to garner press coverage in Virtual Strategy Magazine and Yahoo! News.
He has an older mentor (several in fact), but his favorite is Barbara Corcoran, the real estate guru of ABC's Shark Tanks. How did he connect with Barbara? He simply sent her an email, through her website, and she was taken enough by his story to help and respond. He calls Barbara "a fantastic and very caring lady." His next milestone--to establish offices in NYC and Chicago before he graduates high school. I bet he succeeds.
Next up – Phil Tepfer, Founder of Kenai Sports. Phil and a friend, Charles Bogoian, conceived their idea for sports "transitional apparel" that could be worn both on and off of a boat, as college students in the prestigious Babson College "Hatcheries" program for budding entrepreneurs when they were both 23. Babson's "grey haired" advisors said, "Great idea – but what are you going to do to change the world? That's where you'll win."
A year later, still full of energy and still very poor, Phil and his co-founder took the "change the world" message to heart and regrouped with a plan to create fabrics from recycled materials--soda bottles, cell phones, and computer keyboards, to wood chips, coconut shells, and corn husks—obtained from landfills in North America. Phil reports that his older advisors were very key—while he and Charles had boundless tenacity and drive, neither had prior experience in the apparel industry, let alone the innovation they were striving to achieve. "There were a lot of failures…hundreds of poorly-sewn shirts, too-thin, too-heavy, or just plain ugly…but we never stopped running."
Today the company has obtained a significant government contract and is providing uniforms and apparel for sports teams via www.kenaisports.com.
There are many additional inspiring stories of young and older entrepreneurs I'd like to share over the coming weeks. I'll end today's post with one last inspiring story about the combination of a younger and an older entrepreneur. The father-in-law of a notable CEO, Ray Kelly of Certiport, providing certification programs for Microsoft, Adobe, Intuit and others, had made his fortune and with too much energy to simply retire, dedicated his time to mentor younger entrepreneurs through the SCORE program (www.score.org). As he mentored a certain young founder he ended up putting angel investment into the young man's company as well.
The father-in-law recently passed away. At his funeral, his family members noted with some pride that the money he'd made from his investment in the young founder's company made a greater return than everything he'd accomplished in total in his original entrepreneurial career. The service and help he extended freely to a younger businessman and a younger venture paid off in ways he had never imagined.
Later this week, I'd like to take a look at some older entrepreneurs in this continuing series. If you'd like to submit your own story or comments, it isn't too late. According to Forbes readers, younger founders paired with more experienced mentors make for an ideal combination. Yet data from the Kauffman organization continues to show that the majority of new business ventures, currently, are being launched by older entrepreneurs. What could this mean?
I welcome your comments and thoughts. Let the discussion continue.

1888 Mills acquires Beacon Looms
October 19, 2011
,Oakbrook, Ill. - Further expanding its product reach, 1888 Mills announced its acquisition of Beacon Looms, a family-owned developer and manufacturer of window treatments.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 1888 Mills was the 14th largest home textiles supplier to the U.S. market in 2009, with total sales of about $240 million. The long-time towel manufacturer expanded into bedding previously and debuted a bedding and bath collection under license from HGTV celebrity David Bromstad during last month's New York Home Fashions Market.
Established in 1914, Beacon Looms holds over 100 patents on design and manufacturing of window curtains. "That expertise in window," said Fulton Allen, president of retail sales for 1888, "is what makes Beacon Looms an essential part of our retail strategy. With the addition of window to our existing product categories, we can truly be a whole home solution and leverage our scale continuing to be the low cost producer our customers expect."
In addition, the acquisition brings to the 1888 portfolio Beacon Looms' office in China. 1888 already has manufacturing in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ghana and the USA.
"We know Beacon is in good hands," said Sy Sadinoff, former ceo of Beacon Looms. "From the beginning, we felt comfortable knowing our legacy of the past 97 years, as well as our dedication to our customers would be well preserved by 1888 Mills."
"We very much look forward to being part of the 1888 family and the tremendous opportunities this new venture brings to our customers." said Sandy McNeil, senior vp of sales and merchandising for Beacon Looms.
1888 will continue to market window treatments under the Beacon brand. McNeil and Jonathan Sadinoff will join the 1888 Mills along with several other Beacon associates.

HYDE PARK. —I think few people will deny that all governments that are suspicious of other governments must carry on an efficient system of spying. But I would hope that we might reach the point where we at least know beforehand what the story is that we are going to tell if and when we are discovered at it. And it would seem to me we might use better judgment in choosing the proper time for carrying out certain kinds of missions.
I shall await with interest the Soviet decision on whether to allow our Embassy to have an interview with our captured pilot. According to word from Moscow, he is going to be tried in a Soviet court.
I am deeply sorry for this flier's poor, young wife. Of course, she could not know he was spying. He would not be allowed to tell her, and this must be a period of great anxiety for her.
Now that Senator Hubert H. Humphrey is no longer a candidate for the Presidency, I think his influence can be very great in the convention. Most of us believe that he stands for the things that the liberals of this country believe in. We look forward to his having added prestige in the Senate and to his continuing a useful and brilliant political career.
The League of New York Theatres seems to have decided apparently that it will not object if the failure of current negotiations with Equity brings about a Broadway blackout later this year.
The League has charged that a good part of Equity's demands will mean a rise of at least 25 percent in the price of theatre tickets. Equity states flatly that this is not true. It says that the theatregoer has been a victim of ticket price boosts that are the fault of the League.
Equity states that the cost of its demands as applied to current Broadway shows would not increase the cost to management to anywhere near the amount of a 25 percent increase which the League threatens at present to add to the price of theatre tickets. Equity proves this by taking a number of the most successful plays and showing exactly what meeting their demands would cost.
And I think the theatregoer has a right to demand that the League meet Equity's very reasonable desires for improved conditions for Equity members and that they absorb their costs in their profits rather than be adding so much to the price of tickets. By the latter action the League stands to lose a large part of its theatregoing audience.
The American Chess Foundation tells me that it has been working for over a year to develop an armed forces program, and that at last it will have a finalist tournament in Washington during Armed Forces Week.
Chess is one game in which I take considerable interest, and I think there is no reason why we should not have as good chess players in our country as there are in other countries. Chess is certainly interesting more and more of our young people.

Arrests made in LSU video voyeurism case
BATON ROUGE - LSU Police said Monday they are working on extraditing a man arrested in Texas on suspicion of video voyeurism on the LSU campus.
Police in Waco arrested Mystyr Stewart, 27, on Friday. He was a registered sex offender out of Texas and was also on probation for armed robbery.
LSU Police accused Stewart of using a cell phone to get pictures of woman showering in Herget Hall. The victim told investigators she saw the phone, put on a towel and confronted Stewart, who was completely naked and claimed to have dropped his phone. Police said people in the dorm helped her identify Stewart as the suspect.
Police also arrested Kayla Crear, who is charged with accessory after the fact of video voyeurism. Police said she initially lied to them about knowing Stewart, but when she was confronted with surveillance video of them together admitted she gave Stewart a ride to Beaumont, Texas, and then told police he was headed to Waco.

Copy all mail to a email address in Exim
In this article we'll discuss how you can copy all incoming and outgoing mail that your VPS or dedicated server handles to a designated email address for review.
This can come in handy if you need to keep email data archived for a set period of time in accordance to certain regulations your industry might have to follow. Or you simply want to see the messages of your users to ensure they are not spamming from your server or sending out information they shouldn't be.
This will require that you have root access to your server in order to follow these steps. If you do not have root access, and would like this done for you please contact our support department.
- Login to your server via SSH as the root user.
- Backup your Exim system filter file with the following command:
cp -frp /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter{,-BAK} - Edit the /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter file with the vim editor:
vim /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter - The top 28 or so lines of this file are all commented out with a #symbol in front of each line. The section you'll want to add your mail copying rule to is under this section of that:
## -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
## If you haven't worked with exim filters before, read
## the install notes at the end of this file.
## The install notes are not a replacement for the exim documentation
## -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Below that last line, insert the following replacing firstname.lastname@example.com with the email address you want mail copied to:
unseen deliver email@example.com order to accomplish this, first hit i to enter into INSERT mode in vim.
Then type in your text, and hit esc to exit INSERT mode.
Now you can simply type in :wq to enter COMMAND mode, and then write the file and quit.
- Now let's say you had someone at your company send out some company secrets from your firstname.lastname@example.com to one of your big competitors.
Now you can simply check the email for your email@example.com account that you setup the unseen deliver mail copy rule for, and see both the outgoing and incoming messages that happened.
You should now know how to copy all of your incoming and outgoing mail to a specified email address for either archiving or reviewing.
Please realize that if you have a lot of email accounts and activity, this could lead to a large amount of disk space being used for all of the email copies. So you will want to remove them from the server if it gets to be too many.

The IRC and the American Red Cross skim too much off the top. International Red Cross is a bunch of anti-American pricks, and the American Red Cross has had some of their employees found guilty of theft.

Postcard, dated September 1912:
Miss Ethelwyn Doolittle
420 W 118th St
New York N.Y.
Welcome back to New York, the incomparable!
Found in "Jersey Street and Jersey Lane" by H.C. Bunner. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, 1896.
What a cool old post card. You have the best job.
Just found your blog and I must say that I love it!!! I'm definitely coming back!
waaay cool !!!!!!!!!1
this blog is interesting. :) I use used call cards as bookmarks. :) congrats on Blog of Note.
Gorgeous blog! I love found things. Hope you don't mind, I've added you to my blogroll at http://thestallspeaks.blogspot.com/
Thanks again for this beautiful blog!
Isn't Ethelwyn Doolittle the best name??! When I write my novel, she's definitely appearing in it. It'll start by revealing the mystery behind her absence from New York that had all society buzzing with gossip, and young men (and a certain older tycoon) in mourning...
I did a little poking around, and Ethelyn Doolittle was a schoolteacher in NYC who eventually had a scholarship named after her. Her father was also friends with a man named Huntington, who is the namesake of our local library.
schoolteacher by day, undercover detective (who sometimes got too far under) by night... that tree on the left in the postcard? that's where the evidence that could have brought down people in very high places was buried...
Oh my gosh that postcard is so amazingly old! I'm so jealous of your job right now! Absolutely love the blog & I'm going to be following you :)
I just found your wonderful blog and love the concept!! This is absolutely wonderful and that you found some information about Ethelyn Doolittle makes it even more interesting!
that's just awesome. I love finding old things.
