Michael Hayden Thinks Snowden Revelations, Rather Than NSA Actions, May Splinter The Internet
from the yeah,-perhaps-you-shouldn't-have-done-the-spying-in-the-first-place dept
SPIEGEL: General Hayden, let's speak about the future of the Internet. Are you concerned?Of course, that is the purest form of "blaming the messenger" as you might find. The whole line about how the internet "reflects free people, free ideas and free trade" would be a lot stronger of a point if the NSA hadn't undermined basically all of that with its spying activity. The problem isn't that Snowden revealed all that. It's that the NSA was doing everything it was doing in the first place. If doing these things undermine the idea that the internet is about "free people, free ideas and free trade," perhaps it shouldn't have been doing them. To blame Snowden for that seems... ridiculous.
Hayden: I am very concerned. This may be the single greatest, most destructive effect from the last 10 months of what Mr. Snowden has revealed. The Internet was begun in the United States and it is based on American technology, but it's a global activity. We in the United States feel it reflects free people, free ideas and free trade. There are countries that do not want the Internet as we know it. Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia. The Snowden revelations will now allow them to argue that we Americans want to keep a single, unitary Internet, because it just helps us spy. My fear is that the disclosures may have set a motion in progress that ends up really threatening the Internet as we know it.
SPIEGEL: It is not only the Russians and Chinese who use this argument, but also Americans like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. He recently described the US government as a threat to the Internet.Hayden is pretending that it's the Russians and the Chinese who kicked this off and made such statements. It is not. It was American technologists and entrepreneurs who recognize that when the NSA undermines their own products and purposely weakens key encryption standards that, yes, the NSA itself is a threat. Sure, the Russians and the Chinese have their own motives for slamming the US, but that's just Hayden trying to misdirect attention. The idea that Americans shouldn't accurately state that the NSA is a threat to the internet is bullshit. For someone who -- just seconds earlier -- was talking about our "freedoms" to then try to stifle Americans speaking out against the NSA by arguing that to do so "helps the enemy" is a level of depressing irony that only someone as tone deaf as Hayden can pull off.
Hayden: The more people like him say that, the more it indirectly strengthens these other arguments. The Russians and the Chinese aren't saying this to protect themselves against alleged American espionage. They are saying this because they don't like the Internet's freedom of speech. Their goal is to divide the Internet up into national domains and create barriers in cyberspace. That's the last thing Zuckerberg would want to have happen.
SPIEGEL: On the one hand, the United States promotes the Internet as a tool of freedom. On the other hand, it now appears to many people to be a tool of surveillance.Ha! Right after telling Zuckerberg and other good Americans to shut the hell up or it's helping our the Chinese and the Russians, he now says that he's willing to have a discussion about what the US has done? Really? Then there's the nice strawman, in which he pretends that what people are upset about is spying on what websites Americans visit (ignoring that he's talking to a German publication). He conveniently says nothing about tracking what non-Americans visit, nor the fact that it's not the website tracking that has people concerned, but rather hacking into various websites, tracking all kinds of confidential information.
Hayden: I am quite willing to have a discussion about what my country has or has not done, but it has to be based on facts. Let me first point out that the NSA doesn't monitor what every American is doing on the Internet. The NSA doesn't check who goes to what websites. But you've got these beliefs out there now.
SPIEGEL: It has been almost a year since Snowden left Hawaii. What has he changed?More bogus misdirection from Hayden. Schmidt and Zuckerberg are not upset about the situations in which they complied with lawful requests. They're upset about hacking into datacenters without permission. They're upset about doing "QUANTUM" inserts via bogus Facebook attacks. They're upset about weakening basic encryption. None of that has to do with lawful requests.
Hayden: There are three or four effects. We do this, like other countries, for legitimate reasons, and it's harder to do this now with what has been made public, legitimate intelligence targets. It has become harder for American services to cooperate with friendly services with common goals. What foreign service would want to cooperate with us, given our absolute seeming inability to keep anything secret? And then it really harmed American industry, and that's why you have the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world and the Eric Schmidts of the world expressing great outrage. They aren't doing anything for the American government that other companies do not do for their host governments when they receive a lawful request, but they've been singled out, and they have been unfairly harmed by this. And finally, it has poisoned relationships between people who really are friends.
And, where they are upset about lawful requests, it's because of the NSA's bogus secrecy in which it refuses to let these tech companies show how many users are impacted. Once again, the problem there is the over-secrecy on the part of the NSA.
Finally, the idea that others are upset with the US because it "can't keep stuff secret" is equally bogus. No one has complained about that one bit. The Snowden leaks happened. No one seems to think that makes the next leak any more or less likely. Hayden is just, once again, trying to pin the blame of the NSA's own overreach back on Snowden.
SPIEGEL: The Germans are more sensitive when it comes to the issue of surveillance.In which Hayden more or less admits that he thinks the First Amendment is important, but the Fourth? Not so much.
Hayden: I confess that we Americans underappreciated the impact of that not just on the chancellor but on the German population, and I mean this sincerely. Perhaps we underestimated the depth of feelings that the German people -- and again, not just the chancellor, but the German people, felt about this question of privacy, given their historical circumstances compared to our historical circumstances. At the Munich Security Conference it was clear to me that Germans regard privacy the way we Americans might regard freedom of speech or religion. Perhaps we did not appreciate that enough.
SPIEGEL: Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA is conducting similar operations against China. They monitor the head of state of China. They monitored a couple of universities. NSA is breaking into some Chinese companies. Isn't it hypocritical to complain and yet do similar things?Note that he never explains why "industrial espionage" is so bad, while plain old espionage is fine. And, the evidence from the Huawei effort certainly suggested that the US was, in effect, doing industrial espionage anyway.
Hayden: It's only hypocritical if you had a peculiar and inaccurate way of looking at it at the beginning, and I have been quite public. I'd say, "Look, we spy. We're really good at it." There are two differences between us and the Chinese. We're actually more sophisticated, and we're self-limited. We don't do industrial espionage. I never claimed the moral high ground, you seem to be suggesting that we didn't spy. Let me play a joke on myself. I say, you know, if I had to talk to the Chinese about it, I'd go to Beijing, and I'd sit across the table, which I have done, and I would begin the conversation, "Look, you spy, we spy, but you steal the wrong stuff."
SPIEGEL: Give us a prediction about Snowden's future.Hayden still doesn't get it (or is purposely misleading). No one thinks Snowden should get clemency because he took "a whole bunch of stuff," but because he helped reveal a ton of very questionable activities by the US government, much of which may be unconstitutional and illegal. And that's the kind of thing that we should be encouraging, because as government employees, people take an oath to uphold the Constitution. That means when they see the government doing unconstitutional things, they should blow the whistle.
Hayden: I don't know. I think he asked for an extension of his visa. I think they will just kind of toss the ball up and keep juggling it for another year to see what happens.
SPIEGEL: Wouldn't it be better to bring him home...
Hayden: ... absolutely ...
SPIEGEL: ... and grant him clemency?
Hayden: No. God, no. No. No. This is the single greatest hemorrhaging of legitimate American secrets in the history of this country. It is incredibly damaging, and if we give him some sort of clemency or amnesty, all we're doing is teaching the next Edward Snowden that if you do this, make sure you steal a whole bunch of stuff.Edward Snowden has given this data to all these other folks. Glenn Greenwald has got it. Laura Poitras has got it. Bart Gellman has got it. DER SPIEGEL apparently has it. I mean, this stuff is coming out beyond the control of Edward Snowden.
Michael Hayden may not like that -- especially as some of the revelations appear to implicate him and the decisions he made personally. But his answers here are flat out ridiculous, and they don't make Hayden look good. They make him look petty and vindictive, attacking a whistleblower who has exposed a bunch of things that Hayden helped set in motion. There's a lot more in the interview (including a lot of talk about spying on Germans), but these snippets here give you a sense of how Hayden approached this particular interview.

It has been a thrilling game and I enjoyed it a lot in bringing it to you. Hope you did too. Until next time, this is Srivathsa signing off on behalf of Ganesh and the scorer, Kiran. Be well and cheers!
Collingwood: It was a fantastic game of cricket. We tried hard to lose it in the end. Woakes did well to see it through at the end. It is a world record and we are delighted with; would like to continue. Once we got Watson, our execution was superb in all aspects. When you have got Swanny coming in at No. 10 - he is obviously our best test batsman (smiles sheepishly), it shows our depth.
White: We were a fraction short I guess and not enough in the end. England bowled well and executed their plans well, not sure what the reason is to be honest (smiles sheepishly). Watson showed his true class and hope we can turn it around at Melbourne.
Watson: Massively disappointed not to get over the line. Not good enough. Beautiful batting wicket, we were a few short. The crowd have been amazing. It has been very sad to hear about the condition back home in Queensland, I'm hoping to go back there and help them out.
Shane Watson is the Man of the Match for his brilliant all-round show.
England clinch a thriller. Bell and Pietersen got England off to a flier after the early wicket but both fell in quick succession as Australia got back into the game. A brief fight back from Morgan and Collingwood was again followed up by two quick wickets. England maintained a healthy run-rate despite the regular wickets.Morgan was fluent when he was at the crease but Watson, Australia's hero with the bat and the ball, turned the match on it's head with three quick wickets. With four runs needed of the last over Watson struck again and the match petered down to the last ball.With just one needed of the last ball, Woakes kept his head to take England over the line. This was the eighth consecutive win (a record) for England in the shortest format and they showed just why they are the champions in this format.
What a first international game for Woakes, a truly memorable moment for him as he has helped his side cross the line. Not many can say that playing for the first time. For Australia, another close game lost. Their agony does not seem to end.19.6
Watson to Woakes, 1 run, England win! And they have now won eight on the trot which is a world record, length ball sliding down the leg side, Woakes thumped it over the infield, he pumped his fists and screamed in delight, the England bench are all up and jumping in joy, what a game! Phew!
Lots of discussions as the keeper comes up, everyone are up in the ring19.5
Watson to Woakes, 2 runs, Scores are tied, backed away and slapped it wide of point, Lee did well to dive to his left from sweeper cover and stop it, England team thought it was a boundary, but it was not to be, will there be a Super Over?
Mid off is up, can Shahzad get it over that man, another chat between the skipper and the bowler, mid off still stays up19.4
Watson to Shahzad, leg byes, 1 run, moves in sharply to clip the thigh pad, it runs down to backward point, Woakes is quick and they make it

Lee to Swann, 3 runs, lovely improvisation from Swann, moves to off and clips the slower one past short fine, 3 easily taken, the pressure is back on Aus now.18.5
Lee to Woakes, 1 run, Lee and Swann get into a tangle, a gutsy slower one, Woakes mistimed his cut, the ball bounced near the leg stump, Swann was making his ground and Lee in an attempt to pick up the ball, tangled with him, both the see the funny side of it18.4

White and Watson have a chat now17.5

Tait to Woakes, SIX!!, What a response!, David Hussey was saying that this guy has got a couple of tons back home for Warwickshire and he shows us why, short ball and he pulled it magnificently way back into the stands at deep mid wicket, another huge hit, looks like the verbal that Tait gave him has woken up Woakes and he hammered it many a mile16.1

We are all set to go for the run-chase. It will be interesting to see how Lee and Tait go. Expect some fiery pace on view.
Watson and Warner got Australia off to a steady start in the initial overs before Watson exploded as soon as Swann was introduced. He blasted him for 26 runs in his first over and brought up a quick fifty. Michael Yardy, then pulled it back for England with some tight bowling and the wickets of Watson and Warner.Good bowling at the death and regular wickets stemmed the run rate further and did not allow Australia to get away. Australia never really got the impetus that was required at the end of their innings and they finished 15 to 20 runs short of what they would have wanted ideally. It could still be a competitive score if the comeback boys Tait and Lee perform to their potential. It promises to be an interesting run chase. Join us shortly for it.19.6

We are almost ready to go as the openers walk out. It should be cracker of a game.

He has captained Victoria to domestic glory and is considered by many as the next Aussie test captain - if he works on his batting that is. Expect some serious pace too both Tait and Lee playing. No Nannes though and it is a bit of a surprise.
England have won seven of their last T20Is that they have played. They are chasing a record eighth win in a row. If they win today, it will be a world record. The previous record was held jointly by South Africa and Pakistan.
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 1st T20 match between Australia and England. After clinching the Ashes, the T20 World champions will be looking to keep their record intact in this shorter version of the game. On the other hand, the Aussies will be looking to get back into the winning mode after they suffered a humiliating loss against England in the Test series. Stay tuned for the toss and the team info....

Well, you could go several ways.

Since you already have Koine, I might suggest that you take a look at the "First Greek Book" and dash through that quickly. You get a review, you get introduced to the new forms in a more friendly way than just a Grammar and it leads directly to... Xenophon! Many will gripe about how boring he is (I agree) but even if you read only the first book you will be much better prepared to take on more interesting Greek.

Homer may be trickier coming from Koine. Again, dash through the "First Greek Book" then hit Seymour's "Introduction to the Language and Verse of Homer" paying special attention to the forrms. Then dive into whichever Homeric texts we have here.

In either case, unless you have a lot of experience with continuous Greek you may want to purchase a Loeb for when you absolutely cannot figure out the text.

[face=SPIonic]eu)tu/xei[/face]
However, Smyth doesn't have much in the way of reading. So what do you veterans recommend for beginning reading? Do I start with Homer, or is he more difficult because of the time period? Something else?

Preferably something that I can print off from this site

You indicated two devices in your post is the 9790 on OS 6.0 the one having the issue?
Yes BB9790 firmware version is 9790AllLang_PBr7.1.0_rel2039_PL188.8.131.52_A22.214.171.124 14, but this version is OK>9790M_PBr7.0.0_rel2254_PL22.214.171.124_A188.8.131.528. the problem here is the BBM version 6.2 the version 6.1 is no issue. so the only solution i know is to downgrade the firmware version or BBM version but i cant find any link of 6.1 BBM.

Great deals to be had, but scammers await as well
Cyber Monday is here. It was ranked as the heaviest online shopping day of the season for the second consecutive year in 2011, with total sales of $1.25 billion. Mobile retail shopping is expected to rise for smartphone owners, particularly with the 20-something crowd. The Better Business Bureau expects even more shoppers will take to the Web this year and reminds consumers it's better to be prepared that surprised by a scammer.
While a record 85 percent of retailers will offer special promotions on Cyber Monday according to National Retail Federation's Shop.org's eHoliday survey, it's best to buy from a retailer you know and trust.
"You can't beat shopping online for convenience, comfort and comparing prices, but people tend to let their guard down and get caught up in the craze of holiday shopping," said Warren Clark, Better Business Bureau president. "Whether it is Black Friday or Cyber Monday it is important to take precautions to ensure that scammers do not ruin your holidays."
recommends the follow "dos and don'ts" for shopping online this
holiday season to help fight unscrupulous online retailers, scammers
and hackers:
Protect your computer - A computer should always have the most recent updates installed for spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a secure firewall.
Shop with X-ray vision - This may be a superpower, but any consumer can see through a spoof if they know what to look for. Shoppers need to keep in mind websites can go up today and be gone tomorrow. Consumers can see through these ploys when they keep two windows open at all times - one to hunt for deals and the other to shop for trust. Keep bbb.org open to you check out the seller's BBB rating, online reputation and record for customer satisfaction. If you can't find trustworthy information, move on.
Protect your personal information - Scammers are waiting for consumers to enter personal information into their phony sites and run off with it. Shopping for trust is paramount and BBB also recommends taking the time to read the site's privacy policy and understand what personal information is being requested and how it will be used. If there isn't one posted, take that as a red flag that personal information may be sold to others without permission.
Confirm your online purchase is secure - Shoppers should always look in the address box for the "s" in https://, and in the lower-right corner for the "lock" symbol before paying. If there are any doubts about a site, BBB recommends right-clicking anywhere on the page and select "Properties." This will let you see the real URL (website address) and the dialog box will reveal if the site is not encrypted.
Pay with a credit card - It's best to use a credit card, because under federal law, you can dispute the charges if you don't receive the item. One also has dispute rights if there are unauthorized charges on one's credit card. Many card issuers have "zero liability" policies under which the cardholder pays nothing if someone steals the credit card number and uses it. If you are going to shop on classifieds websites such as Craigslist, never wire money and only buy locally where you can see the item before you hand over your money.
Know your rights - Federal law requires that orders made by mail, phone or online be shipped by the date promised or, if no delivery time was stated, within 30 days. If the goods aren't shipped on time, the shopper can cancel and demand a refund. There is no general three-day cancellation right, but consumers do have the right to reject merchandise if it's defective or was misrepresented. Otherwise, it's the company's policies that determine if the shopper can cancel the purchase and receive a refund or credit.
Fall for deals that sound too good to be true - Offers on websites and in unsolicited emails can often sound too good to be true, especially extremely low prices on hard-to-get items. Consumers should always go with their instincts and not be afraid to pass up a "deal" that might cost them in the end.
Give into phishing scams - Legitimate businesses do not send emails claiming problems with an order or an account to lure the buyer into revealing financial information. If a consumer receives such an email, BBB recommends picking up the phone and calling the contact number on the website where the purchase was made to confirm that there really is a problem with the transaction.
Lose track of your documents - After completing the online order process, there may be a final confirmation page or the shopper might receive confirmation by email. BBB recommends saving a copy of the webpage and any emails for future reference and as a record of the purchase.
Wait for paper statements - check your credit card statements often - BBB recommends consumers check their credit card statements for suspicious activity by either calling credit card companies or by looking at statements online each week or even more during this busing shopping season.

Gandi Corporate
The Gandi Corporate subscription pack has a range of "à la carte" billing options to adapt to your needs. The options are extensive, and can be customized. For example, we can offer you:
Invoice payments
We charge for this service, only because Gandi assumes some risk on your behalf. Domain names are registered for a minimum period (generally one or two years) and the registries requires up-front payment. We cover the costs for the minimum registration period and bill you at the end of the month, or later, according the option you purchased (30, 45 or 60 days).
Deferred payment for 30, 45 or 60 days
Going along with the invoice payment service, this option gives you deferrals on payment for registering domain names at Gandi. The length of deferral depends on the option purchased, ie 30, 45 or 60 days. Deferred payment is also valid on pre-bookings and renewal of domain names.
Paper invoices
In the interest of saving paper, and as part of our general cost reduction efforts, we do not send paper invoices to our customers. Instead, we make them downloadable directly from our web site, in your customer account. Sometimes, however, it is easier for your finance department to manage your account with a paper invoice. To facilitate this, we can send by mail monthly bills to the address you indicate.
Billing multiple entities
If your company has a complex financial structure, with multiple entities who wish to be invoiced independently, we can do so for you. Each party will be given access to the same benefits as the main account, and can be charged on its behalf.

Video surveillance is now considered essential for physical security by diverse organizations. The success of this surveillance technology to date along with double-digit market growth mean that it will only be deployed in larger volumes in the future, resulting in the need for more cameras, better quality, and more primary storage capacity for video servers.
Reinier Tuinzing,
Strategic Alliance Manager, Americas, Milestone Systems
Unfortunately, traditional video surveillance server technology based on hard disk drives (HDDs) is plagued by numerous challenges. Restricted by moving physical parts, limited throughput often results in a loss of critical video quality. Even with compression, HDD-based video servers often lack the ability to serve simultaneous reads and writes without dropping frames, impacting the ability to recover from failures or perform timely or accurate analytics. The shortcomings of HDD storage will only become more pronounced as cameras are deployed in larger numbers, and as those cameras are upgraded to high-definition (HD) or 4K resolutions.
Substituting SanDisk flash storage for primary storage can eliminate many of the shortcomings of traditional HDD-based video surveillance solutions. While flash has been used in cameras in the past, SanDisk has tested high-throughput flash technology as primary storage for video surveillance servers. Solid-state drives (SSDs) can provide both dramatically higher capacity and sustained throughput, with higher density and scalability for video servers. More cameras per server yield significant server consolidation and dramatic reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO) and operational expenses (OpEx).
Consolidation for Lower TCO
While low HDD throughput and capacity tend to increase the number drives, controllers, and servers, SSDs have the opposite effect. Figure 1 illustrates a three-year 1500 camera TCO analysis based on SanDisk and Milestone Systems test results. HDD-based servers are compared with two SSD-based configurations with differing levels of consolidation and numbers of cameras per server. The dramatic cost advantages of video server consolidation in terms of both TCO and OpEx are easily visible.
Testing Milestone XProtect VMS
In addition to its general advantages, choosing the right flash storage is vital to a reliable high-performance video server solution. To that end, SanDisk completed Milestone Technology Partner Certification to evaluate flash storage for video surveillance in an industry-standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server. The following products were tested.
Testing demonstrated that the chosen SanDisk SSDs provided up to five times the throughput and substantial improvements in capacity over 10K and 15K RPM HDDs typically employed in video servers. The resulting five-fold increase in the number of cameras supported results directly in dramatically fewer servers required to support a given number of cameras. Extensive testing with the Milestone XProtect video management system (VMS) has confirmed that consolidated sytsems using SanDisk SSDs can provide:
These advantages are particularly important as the number and quality of video streams increase to meet growing security demands.
Advantages of Flash for Primary Storage
SanDisk flash storage presents a unique opportunity to evolve and consolidate servers for video surveillance. Higher primary storage throughput and capacity results directly in the ability to deploy fewer, but more dense servers to support a given number of cameras. With rapidly evolving network technology and increasing available network bandwidth, video server clusters will be able to grow and scale more effectively, with higher bandwidth to individual servers aiding server consolidation efforts.
Flash storage promotes key advantages, including:
SSDs save time and money, because they reduce latency, while improving quality of service (QoS). With no moving parts, SSDs don't experience failures due to mechanical parts wearing out as is common in video server applications. The high throughput of SSDs also means that RAID rebuild times are considerably shorter, reducing the chance of dropped frames. Moreover, with fewer drives, RAID controllers and systems required, power and cooling costs are lower than for HDD-based server solutions. SSDs are also lighter than HDDs, and generate no noise and substantially less heat.
HDD-based video servers are now seriously limiting the scalability and potential of video surveillance, causing risks for both security companies, and those they serve. Utilizing flash storage as primary storage represents a new way forward with profound implications for quality, throughput, and cost. SSDs can provide fully five times the throughput of HDDs, with linear density and throughput scaling—resulting up to a five-to-one consolidation of required video servers. These throughput advantages coupled with growing capacities make SanDisk flash storage a compelling alternative to spinning media for demanding video surveillance applications.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Moy Da hasn't seen his sister in nearly 40 years. Like countless Cambodian families, they were separated during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. The brutal communist regime made it official policy to dismantle the nuclear family, which it considered a capitalist relic, and divided much of the population into slave labor camps.
In 1975, Moy Da, then 5 years old, and his parents, who died three years later, lost track of 15-year-old Pheap when the Khmer Rouge emptied Phnom Penh and marched residents to the countryside. He has not seen her since, and the passage of time has not dulled the pain. "Pol Pot took my sister from me," he said. "I don't think I can go on living unless I see her again."
For the first time in years, Moy Day has hope that they will be together again, thanks to a groundbreaking reality TV show here. "It's Not a Dream," which premiered in 2010, has reunited nearly two dozen families separated during the Khmer Rouge days and the decades of civil war and poverty that followed. Employing a team of young researchers who scour the country for the missing, it brings together lost loved ones in emotionally charged reunions filmed in front of a studio audience.

The serpentine/drive belt or v-belt is a rubber belt that connects the alternator, power steering, and AC to the part of the engine (crankshaft) which transfers the power from the engine to those components. Without this belt, the battery will not get charged and none of the electrical accessory components in the car will work. The serpentine belt and v-belt are also known as "drive belts."
Because of the high amount of heat in the engine, the belt can develop cracks over time and eventually break. If the belt breaks, the steering wheel will be difficult to turn and driving will be hazardous.
In some cars, water pumps are driven by the drive belts. If the belt breaks, water and coolant needed to keep the engine cool will not properly flow to the engine. The engine will overheat, potentially causing severe damage.
A car will either have a serpentine belt(s) or v-belt(s). Cars that have a serpentine belt will have one or two belts. Most modern cars have only one belt, driving all the engine accessory components. If the car has v-belts, it will most likely have four belts.
A mechanic should inspect the drive belts during oil changes. If you hear a squealing noise from the engine, it is likely that the drive belts need adjustment or replacement.
The drive belts connect the engine to the alternator, air conditioning, power steering, and sometimes the water pump. These belts are how power is transferred from the engines to these other systems. When the belts break, the engine will be unable to transfer power to the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering. Since the alternator is responsible for charging your battery, a broken drive belt means that the electrical components won't work in your vehicle. The power steering also will fail, which makes it difficult and dangerous to steer. If your car's water pump is also connected to the drive belt then the engine will not have a properly functioning cooling system, and your vehicle will be likely to overheat.

Extreme Location Recording - sE Electronics In The London Eye
Extreme Location Recording - sE Electronics In The London Eye
Well if you thought Neil Young recording Harvest in a barn was a tricky location, imagine tracking an EP within 30 minutes in a bubble suspended over London, without any mains electricity. Still that's what London singer songwriter Frank Hamilton fancied doing and sE Electronics were up for the challenge.
Relying purely on the laptop to power the RNR1 on Frank's vocal and SE4's on guitar and as an ambient pair. The VR1 Ribbon mics on viola and cello didn't use up as much juice but it was still no mean feat.
As Frank says "Recording in a glass bowl (450 feet above the River Thames) was always going to be a
logistical nightmare but it was made infinitely easier by the support and expertise of sE Electronics and their
microphones. We used the RNR1 (which I've wanted to try for ages) on my vocals and all of us were blown away
by the warmth and the ease at which it sat in the mix (with very little EQ). The SE4's we used on my guitar did the
business as usual - I've used them before and I'm almost certain we'll use them on the album."
If you fancy doing some location recording yourself then sE have a great deal on at the moment, offering free Reflexion Filters ideal for taming unruly acoustics in less than perfect locations. Of course if you've already treated your studio then they can help make a recording sound even better.

By Jeffrey P. Marsico, Executive Vice President of The Kafafian Group, Inc
This post originally appeared on Jeff for Banks
I had a very interesting conversation with a bank client today. He called me to discuss, among other things, his bank's expansion strategy. During the discussion, I mentioned that I had recently driven by one of his branches and that it was the biggest in town. What he said about it inspired this post.
Being the biggest branch in town, in terms of square footage, is not something cheered among industry pundits these days. Indeed, if I were to summarize the sentiment, it would be that future branches would be much smaller, but with big a** signs. Those were another bank consultant's words, not mine.
This CEO isn't buying it. He said that since that branch underwent a $1.5 million renovation, its deposits grew by 40%. In prior years its deposit totals had remained in a relatively tight band. He opined that it is "amazing what visibility, access, and egress" does for a branch. He also said that his business owner customers demanded a nearby branch.
But he did not think the branch had to be in the same town as the business. The next town over would due.
Now that makes sense to me. If it costs, on average, $600,000 per year in operating expenses to run a standard branch, wouldn't it make sense to build a large, marquis-type branch in every other town that cost $800,000 per year? By abandoning the every town strategy, you effectively save $400,000 per year. Continue reading ›

A sampling of provocative Bachmann statements
A sampling of memorable statements made by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who announced Wednesday she wouldn't seek a fifth term in Congress:
BACHMANN V. OBAMA: Bachmann was a little-known Minnesota congresswoman in 2008, when she said in an interview on MSNBC that she was concerned President Barack Obama "may have anti-American views." Bachmann said it was based on the president's past association with 1960s radical Bill Ayers. The remark sparked an outpouring of voter and financial support for her Democratic rival, but Bachmann held on to win a second term.
BACHMANN AND SCIENCE: Bachmann attacked Texas Gov. Rick Perry during a GOP presidential debate for requiring middle-school girls in his state to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, or HPV. She then went on television to say a woman had approached her to attribute her daughter's mental retardation to the HPV vaccine called Gardasil. Doctors and immunization advocates sharply criticized Bachmann's comments as irresponsible and dangerous, and two bioethicists offered cash rewards if Bachmann could prove a link. She never responded.
BACHMANN ON FOREIGN POLICY: During a 2011 debate by GOP president hopefuls, Bachmann, a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, said she would support the United States shutting down its embassy in Tehran. But there is no U.S. Embassy in Iran's capital.
BACHMANN ON HISTORY: Before declaring her presidential bid, Bachmann got off on the wrong foot in New Hampshire in March 2011 by describing the key early battleground state as the one "where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord." The first shots in the Revolutionary War were fired in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire.
BACHMANN ON HISTORY, PART 2: During another appearance in New Hampshire a few months later, Bachmann warned that the tax burden for future generations was growing and compared it to the Holocaust. "We are seeing eclipsed in front of our eyes a similar death and a similar taking away," she said.
BACHMANN AND SECURITY: Last year, Bachmann was sharply criticized by her own party after she repeated allegations that an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodhman Clinton had family ties to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood. Bachmann said Huma Abedin should have been disqualified from a U.S. security clearance, citing foreign media reports and an outside study. Sen. John McCain made a speech on the Senate floor to defend Abedin.

Raviolis, No-Knead Bread, & Salad!
Here's a cute little picture of the grapefruit that I had as a snack this afternoon. It had one seed, which I removed... see that funny hole? It was a great piece of fruit!

My no-knead bread certainly hasn't come out looking like that yet but I've got to keep experimenting. I'm wondering if here in the East you need slightly less water because of the humidity. The couple of times I've tried this recipe the taste has been good but the shape has been very flat. At least in part because the dough was too wet to hold its shape.ReplyDelete
I'm going to try that no-knead bread again, but I've decided to wait until it gets just a little warmer. Last time I made it, it was a disaster... I love your salad with all the pretty veggies. Is arugula also called rocket? I don't like rocket at all.ReplyDelete
Hi Ruthie!ReplyDelete
I love the no-knead... it's the best bread I've ever made! YUM.
Hi Chris!
My dough was also a bit too wet to hold its shape, especially at first. I think having the right size/shape baking pot will really help. I used 1 5/8 c water... is that how much you used? The first time I made it, the dough was actually a lot more dry, and it still came out great - so maybe give it a try with reducing the water a bit. There's a lot of information out there online about variations and adjustments. Some people let the dough ferment for 24 hours instead of 18!... All sorts of things. So, it seems like there's room for variation
Hi Laura,
Yeah, I'd say it's worth trying again. Both times I've made it, the no-knead bread has turned out wonderfully. And a warm house helps... It's supposed to sit for 12-18 hours at around 70 degrees. We keep our house pretty warm, so that worked well. So maybe it will be easier in the summer!? And yes, I think that maybe arugula IS called rocket sometimes. It's very spicy.
Hi Kati,
I added a link to the original recipe from the NY Times... but there's LOADS of info and variations out there on the internet. There's even a flickr group dedicated solely to the no-knead bread! It's a yeast bread, but has a slight sourdough flavor. It's only got 1/4 t yeast in it, but because it sits for so long it somehow works. MMM. It's worth trying!

I think I knead that bread recipe.ReplyDelete
I loev those ravioli--just wish they weren't so expensive. But then again, they're worth the moeny, because I would never make them from scratch.
I need to try that bread! It looks so good! Although I do kind of like the kneading part of making bread, but I am willing to give it a miss to get bread that looks like that!ReplyDelete
And just to say to Laura that arugula and rocket are the same thing. In the UK we call it rocket and when I moved to the US I had no idea what arugula was!
Hi UV!ReplyDelete
Ha ha! Aren't you clever with words! I added a link to the recipe for the no-knead bread. It's stunningly easy. And it's true what you say about the raviolis being worth the cost, since you won't make by hand. I've done that a couple of times, but they didn't turn out great.
Hi Scottish Vegan,
Thanks for clearing up our rocket/arugula mystery! I've seen "rocket" in some of my veggie cookbooks and thought "what are these people talking about??" Now I know! Also, I agree that kneading bread is very nice... but this is just the best looking & tasting bread I've ever made, so it's worth the sacrifice!
Hi aTXvegan!
How great that you are an arugula lover. So is Musty. It's something for me to aspire to! The bread has a slight sourdough flavor, but not overpowering. It's a great flavor.
Hi Mamafabun,
Yeah, the no-knead has worked great for me too! The hardest thing is finding when to start the whole thing so that I'll be available 18 hours later! Yes, I do cook the bread with the lid on, and just take it off for a few minutes at the end. In my oven, with my little pyrex, I cook it for 30 minutes with the lid on, and only about 5 minutes or so with the lid off (the recipe calls for another 15-30 min w/o the lid).

Writing is uncomfortable.November 27, 2002
Pardon the lack of updates the past week. I seem to have melted my notebook's A/C adapter and I just don't find it comfortable to type for long periods of time at my desk.
eBay to the rescue, though — even obsolete Windows notebooks can be serviced if it's possible for the world to pool their collective resources in a searchable index.
Proper typing posture is much easier, even comfortable when sitting on the couch with a notebook in my lap. It's quite a pleasure to write from that position, but it feels too much of a chore otherwise.
I lust over the convertible Tablet PCs. If there's one thing you buy your friendly neighbourhood geek this year, that should be it.
further apologies — 11/29
Seems my host decided to crash and burn. I appear to be back up and running, but I haven't heard an explanation yet as to what exactly happened.
A friendly little error message greeted anyone viewing this site for upwards of 30 hours since yesterday afternoon. It was a 500-13, something about the service being too busy. It looked a little odd, and further probing revealed that only my .asp files were crapping out. Anything marked .html showed up fine. So the going theory, I suppose, is that IIS decided to stop parsing any active server pages.
Happy Thanksgiving, indeed. Even though we already did ours last month.


text: I have two IPs for my VPS and I have created a domain at one IP. now I would like to change the IP for the domain created to the other IP? How do I do that in DirectAdmin? When I was using PLESK, it seemed very easy to switch domain DNS between IPs. but I am not sure where to do that in DirectAdmin. Thanks.
