Machine 22, an independent game developer, announced the long-anticipated clothing system for the web MMORPG Golemizer (http://www.golemizer.com). Golemizer is a free web MMORPG where players are set in the role of mad scientists creating strange creatures in a steampunk universe.
While the main theme of the game is about players unleashing monsters in the world, the sandbox approach of Golemizer gives many opportunities to players to also unleash their imagination through various systems like dungeons and quests creation, city management and many others.
The newest addition to Golemizer allows players to craft and wear their own clothes which has always been a very popular request from players. As players have proved in the past they will also surely find imaginative ways to use this new system.
The clothing system also introduces a new mini-game where players can buy sheeps and take care of them to obtain wool which is a key resource to craft clothes. This new mini-game will open new business opportunities to players interested in a more pacific way of playing. The freedom to play how you want has always been important to Golemizer so this new addition remains in this line of thought.
New features:
- 20 suits and hats players can craft (and of course many more to come!)
- 25 new skills
- Sheeps management mini-game
- New resources: Wool and cotton
- Special suits obtained through quests and events!
This is only the first steps toward what is sure to become a very popular feature as players are always looking for ways to be unique. It is also yet another proof that no feature is out of reach for a game developed and maintained by a single person. Dave Toulouse, sole owner and developer of Machine 22, assure current and future players that many new exciting features are on their way and that he's still as passionate to work on Golemizer as he was when he first started 2 years ago.

Which is it, notallmen? Are you going to keep repeating that women needn't treat every man as a potential predator, or are you going to blame women--as some of the commenters here do--for not treating every man as a potential predator? I hate to keep having to go over this, but drunkenness doesn't amount to consent to sex; letting someone inside does not amount to consent to sex. When a woman asks someone to walk her home, she's asking for someone to keep her safe; she's emphatically not consenting to sex.
Many women will lose access to life-saving medication because politics--we'll get to that in a minute--and there's more arsenic around because politics.
A detailed chemistry of glass and some amazing pictures of Saturn and it moons. And some cool photography.
What has to happen so that we pay more attention to women's substance than their style?
Now for the Hobby-Lobby debacle... let's start with this,
Today, five men on the Supreme Court said that women's reproductive health care is less important than a woman's boss's superstition-based prudery and moral trepidation about fornication for female pleasure. They ruled that it doesn't matter if birth control actually causes abortions; it only matters if business owners sincerely believe that birth control causes abortions. They ruled that it's okay for a corporate person to discriminate against a female semi-person and dictate that she not spend her compensation on stuff that might possibly be enabling sex without consequences, if they believe that God thinks they should.and then just turn to Twitter:

When I run the game the opening works fine but after that it stays on the black screen. I know the game is still working fine because I can hear confirmation sounds when I press a button.
Does this game support Win 7 because that is what I am on right now.

In June, the Jo Daviess County Water Resource Management Planning Committee completed the final draft of its water resource management plan. The League of Women Voters of Jo Daviess County (LWV) also learned it received a national award as a result of the committee's work.
More than 20 stakeholders from around the county, recruited and organized by the local League in collaboration with Jo Daviess County Soil and Water District, met every other month for over two years to develop a plan identifying and assessing issues related to surface water and groundwater in the county.
With science-based stewardship and evidence-based decision-making as guiding principles, the process documented consensus about the best way to manage water resources going forward.
At the 52nd national convention of the League of Women Voters held June 16-18, 2016 in Washington, D.C., the local League received the Effective Community Engagement Award for its water resource management plan project. The project was one of four finalists. League members from more than 800 local Leagues around the country voted online to award the honor.
Local issues identified during the two-year process fell into three broad categories: 1) storm water management; 2) groundwater management; and 3) water quality. Topography, soils, and geology of the county were found to create challenges in each of these areas.
The plan documents consensus on three broad goals with specific objectives and includes a multi-year action plan designed to achieve incremental, sustainable improvements to water resource management across the county.
The plan is now being presented to county township boards, city councils, resort core boards, county board and other organizations. These groups will be invited to collaborate and focus on possible actions to accomplish the goals and objectives in the multi-year action plan.
Find a link to the plan in the "current issues" tab of lwvjodaviess.org.

Sheldon Vanauken once wrote,
The best argument for Christianity is Christians: their joy, their certainty, their completeness. But the strongest argument against Christianity is also Christians--when they are somber and joyless, when they are self-righteous and smug in complacent consecration, when they are narrow and repressive, then Christianity dies a thousand deaths. (Encounter with Light, p. 10)
The Gospel lectionary reading for today goes along rather well with Vanauken's statement. In Matthew 5:13-16 we read where Jesus says...
You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.In Jesus' day salt was highly valued and it was associated, for one thing, with purity. The Roman world thought that salt was the purest of all things because it came from the sun and the sea. Of course, the glittering whiteness of salt caused people to think of purity. Salt was often used as an offering to God, even in the Jewish religion. And so when Jesus said to his followers, "You are the salt of the earth," he was calling attention to the purity that needed to be in their lives, lives which could be offered wholly to God's service. A few moments before this Jesus had said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
How do Christians remain pure amidst the dirtiness of this sin-stained world? The only way is through Christ living in us and cleansing us by his blood. A Christian is someone who gives as much as he knows of himself to as much as he knows of Christ.
The only way we can be the salt of the earth is also the only way we can be the light of the world.... Jesus paid a great compliment to his disciples when he said, "You are the light of the world." This was a great compliment because Jesus also said, "I am the light of the world." The only way any of us can be the light of the world is by reflecting Jesus' light, passing on to others the light we receive from him. It is like Jesus is the sun and we are the moon.
We must remember that when Jesus spoke these words he was saying something very familiar to his own people, the Jews. To the Jew, Jerusalem was "a light to the Gentiles". Jerusalem was also the city set upon a hill. And they believed that "God lit Israel's lamp." But now Jesus was applying this word specifically to his followers and saying: you are now the light of the world.
That is a big job: being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. None of us are fit for this job in and of ourselves. We need to ask Jesus to be salt and light in us and through us. I wonder where each of us might add a bit of flavor to the world this week. Where might each of us shed some light in a dark place?

By S. C. Turnbo
Near ¼ of a mile up the hollow from Dugginsville in Ozark County, Mo. following the road leading to Pontiac the road crosses the hollow where there is a flat rock. At this crossing is the mouth of another hollow which comes in from the north side called the Board Tree Hollow. Some distance up this last named hollow is where Isaac Johnson was shot and killed accidently while he and T. J. (Tom) Johnson were out together in the woods one Sunday in August 1884. Isaac was a brother of W. C. (Carl) Johnson and a son of Sam Johnson who years ago lived on what is now Jess Heard Farm in the fork of Little North Fork and Brattons Spring Creek. The details of this sad and unfortunate affair was told me by Tom Johnson himself who I met at the Oak Grove School House 8 miles east of Broken Arrow in the Indian territory on Sunday June 24 1906. Mr. Johnson said that he was willing to give me a history of the case and says, "I am a son of Wm. (Bill) and Sirrilda (Ford) Johnson. I was born in White County Tennessee March 10, 1855. Some three years after I was born my parents moved into Missouri and lived in Ozark County and stayed some time on the Sam Johnson Place at the mouth of Spring Creek." In speaking of the death of Isaac Johnson he said that "one Saturday night there was a dance in a grove near where Mrs. (Laura) Schofield now lives and I was present there. During the night Dr.. Bell handed me his pistol to hold while he took a hand in the dance. The pistol was the Doctor Smith and Weston make with 38 caliber. When he gave me the weapon I buckled the belt around my waist so as to hold it more easily and kept it until he quit dancing. But when the dance broke up Bell did not ask for the pistol and I forgot to give it to him and it remained in my possession. On the following day which was Sunday I and Isaac Johnson went into the woods together to hunt for a horse on the range to break stubble with. It was a 3 year old sorrel horse and if I mistake not it belonged to Johnson which we intended to ride turn about. While we were fixing to start Isaac remarked "As we are going out to hunt a horse in place of a deer I will not take a gun with me". I decided not to take one too but concluded to take Bells pistol with me because I had it in my possession. We remained together until we got out on the ridge that divides the head of the Peter Cave Hollow and the right prong of Cedar Creek that mouths in at Dugginsville. Here at the head of the Board Tree Hollow I and Isaac stopped to consult together and we agreed that it was best to separate in order to have a better chance to find the horse. Isaac was riding at the time and he dismounted and told me to get up on the horse which I did just before we started again, Isaac pointed down the hollow and says, "Tom, there is a little spring on the side of a hill below here and I will go down by this spring and see if any horses has been there to water lately and I will meet you on the point of the hill beyond the spring and if you will you can ride a circle and come around to the point of the hill mentioned" and we both started. I going off in the direction he requested me to do and he going in the direction he said the spring was. Of course I intended to meet him at the place designated. But not very long after I and Isaac had parted I saw a deer jump tip out of the grass where it had been lying down and run down the hill angling across from me. I was not near the place where I and Isaac had agreed to meet and not thinking he was so close to me I held the pistol in my hand and pointed it toward the deer while it was running. The animal after running a short distance stopped behind a small bunch of sumack bushes where I could see only a little part of the deers body but I took aim at the part that was in view and fired. At the report of the pistol I was horrified to hear someone halloo as it in trouble. The distressed voice come from beyond where the deer was standing which now ran off. The moment I heard the cry of pain it struck me that I had shot Isaac Johnson instead of the deer. I leaped off of the horse and ran to where the noise eminated from and found Johnson lying on the ground in a dying condition. He was unconscience and not able to speak. I made all the efforts I could to get him to speak to me but the fatal bullet had done its work and he was entirely dead in a few seconds after I had reached him. The ball had entered his body at the left nipple. He had breathed his last. He could tell me nothing and the worst of it I had killed the poor fellow accidently. It was a trying time to me. His soul had took its flight from the body. He had passed to the other shore, and oh God I had killed him - not intentionally but through mistake and an accident for little did I think that he was so near me and in range of my pistol and an a direct line beyond the deer from me. Just a short time before this I and him were together and enjoying ourselves. But now he is dead and I am bowed down in grief. That hour was the worst one I ever experienced in my life. It was dreadful to me. There was no settlements near there then and I knew it was my duty to let it be known as soon as possible and I rose to my feet and ran back to where I had left the horse and leaped astride of his back and urged him along as fast as he could go over the rough ground until I arrived at Mrs. Laura Schofields and related the sad story to her and begged her to go break the news to his wife whose name was Vinnie and who lived ½ mile from there. Isaac was killed in the forenoon."
The writer will add that the neighbors repaired to the spot where Johnson lay dead, and took the remains home and prepared it for burial and the body received interment in the grave yard at the mouth of Brattons Spring Creek. A short time after he was buried the authorities held an inquest at the grave without exhuming the body. Several witnesses were examined and it was the writers understanding that the decision was that Johnson come to his death by the hands of Tom Johnson through an accident. The name "Isaac Johnson" cut on the head rock which is a native stone indicates where the body rests.

Four years after an initial study found many South Carolina community residential care facilities were dirty, infested with insects and filled with residents who were mistreated by staff, a follow-up report by a nonprofit group shows little has changed.
A new audit of 14 community residential care facilities across the state by the group Protection and Advocacy for People with Disabilities shows "the same unsafe and deplorable conditions still exist."
The first report, titled "No Place to Call Home," was published in 2009. The follow-up report, "Still ... No Place to Call Home," was released Tuesday. Together, the reports demonstrate a "depressing lack of progress," the study said.
Some of the findings in the new study include:
Dead bugs and roach feces.
Stained mattresses and furniture.
Inadequate food supplies.
Not enough medicine or medical equipment.
Lack of toiletries, including shampoo and toothpaste.
Staff who yelled at residents.
According to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, there are 477 licensed community residential care facilities in South Carolina with 16,999 beds. Protection and Advocacy for People with Disabilities refused to disclose which residential care facilities were included in the study.
All 14 were inspected after unannounced visits.
South Carolina law allows fines against facilities that refuse to allow a team advocacy inspection. Victoria McGahee, an advocate with the nonprofit group, wrote in an email to The Post and Courier, "We regret that due to state and federal requirements to protect the confidentiality of people with disabilities, P&A cannot provide information about specific facilities monitored."
She said the 14 included in the survey represent a cross-section of the facilities in the state, including both small and large, rural and urban homes. DHEC is charged with monitoring all 477 licensed residential care facilities — some are large with more than 100 beds, but many are small with only room for a few residents. The agency keeps tabs on all of them, monitoring everything from air filters to outdoor furniture.
A DHEC spokeswoman did not respond to questions about the new study.
The report calls on state legislators and agencies to address the issues.

Large Format Cartridges
The Confidence Cartridge™
An important success factor for any cleaning business is the ability to consistently satisfy customers by returning garments that look as fresh and clean as new. Good filtration is essential to achieving that objective and avoiding the negative effects of graying and redeposition of soil that can lead to unhappy customers. That's why Puritan filter cartridges are designed and constructed to trap and hold substantially more insoluble soil than competing brands.
Differences in cleaning machine configurations, cleaning processes, solvents, and the work processed means that there are differing requirements for contaminant removal from one cleaning system to another. So whatever your requirements, there is a PURITAN model especially designed to meet your needs.
Superior Design, Materials, and Construction Deliver Better Value.
- Puritan large format cartridges provide up to one third more usable surface area than other brands. With more premium filter paper and precise, deep pleating, Puritan's extra surface area holds more dirt and lasts longer
- For superior removal of dye and other color impurities, only the best activated carbon granules are used. The core is vibratic packed to full capacity to ensure no settling occurs.
- In the PURITAN Adsorptive model, activated clay supplements the activated carbon in a uniform blend that ensures consistent removal of contaminants.
- The unique two-handle design does not puncture the filter shell, avoiding the soil bypass that occurs in other brands, and making for easier handling during filter changes.
- The paper ends are sealed in a bed of adhesive and bonded to the endplates while the side seam consists of a full pleat overlap that is interlocked and sealed with adhesive to prevent soil bypass and ensure structural integrity.
- Every case of PURITAN large format cartridges includes new felt gaskets to ensure proper sealing.
- Every PURITAN cartridge is backed by the technical support capabilities of Street's. Access our expertise through your area Street's representative, on our website, or via telephone to our technical help line.
Whatever your requirements, there is a Puritan model especially designed to meet your needs.
The LF
Balanced Filter Life and Dye Control for Most Systems
The LF is the standard large format model filter cartridge. It features a core of activated carbon that is sized to balance the dirt holding capacity of the filter paper to the dye removal capacity of the carbon core, in a ratio that is right for most systems using distillation to help remove solvent soluble contaminants.
Dye Eater
For Maximum Control of Dye Contaminants
The premium Dye Eater model features the same capacity for insoluble soils as the LF model, but uses a much larger core of activated carbon for extra dye removal capability and longer life.
For Oily Contaminant Control in Systems Without Distillation
The Adsorptive model uses a core with two adsorptive materials. Activated clay is uniformly blended with activated carbon to provide some removal of oily contaminants in systems that lack distillation capability.
For Oily Contaminant and Moisture Control in Systems Where Carbon is Not Desired
The All-Clay model uses a core with 100% activated clay for removal of oily contaminants and unwanted moisture in systems that lack distillation capability.
Before using any chemical product, review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for safe handling and proper disposal.
For professional drycleaning use only.

What is an abandoned vehicle?
A vehicle is only abandoned where it appears to the local authority that a motor vehicle in their area is abandoned without lawful authority on any land in the open air or on any other land forming part of a highway (Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978). This means that a vehicle is only abandoned when the authorised officer decides that it is abandoned.
An abandoned vehicle is a vehicle that has been left and the owner has no intention of returning to collect it. It is not a vehicle that is being used without tax or parked where someone does not want it parked.
Boston Borough Council has a duty under Section 3 of the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978, to remove a vehicle which is abandoned in their area, on any land in the open air, or on any other land forming part of a highway. This does not cover vehicles abandoned on private land.
Abandoned Vehicles are not:-
Badly parked vehicles or vehicles that are causing an obstruction;
Broken down vehicles;
Untaxed vehicles these should be reported to the DVLA
How can you tell if a vehicle is abandoned?
The following points may indicate that a vehicle has been abandoned:
Is the vehicle taxed? (This should not be the sole consideration)
Are the tyres flat?
Is there any litter, weeds, etc. under the vehicle indicating that it has not been moved for some time?
Are the brake discs rusty?
Is the windscreen or any of the windows broken?
Is mould present on either the inside or the outside of the vehicle?
Does the vehicle contain items of waste, for example tyres?
Does the vehicle have a number plate?
How does the Council deal with Abandoned Vehicles?
Once we receive a report of an Abandoned Vehicle, the Neighbourhood Wardens will inspect the vehicle to determine whether or not it is abandoned. Usually this is done within 24 hours of receiving the report (this does not include weekends or bank holidays).
In normal circumstances a 7 day notice will be affixed to the vehicle or a 1 day notice if the vehicle is regarded to be a danger to the public.
Upon expiry of the notice, the Neighbourhood Wardens will check that the vehicle is still at the location. If the vehicle is still at the location, we will arrange for the vehicle to be removed and disposed of.
How do I report an Untaxed Vehicle?
Vehicles kept on the road must be taxed and must display a valid current tax disc. The DVLA has powers to deal with road tax (vehicle excise licence) evasion. The offence may be reported to the DVLA either online at www.dvla.gov.uk , or by calling the DVLA Public Hot Line 08000 325 202.
If your vehicle is under a SORN declaration (statutory of the road notice) you must arrange to have it stored off the public highway with the landowner's permission.
Burnt Out Vehicles
Burnt out vehicles should be reported as a matter of urgency and removed as a matter of urgency owing to the dangerous chemical reaction they give off when burnt out and therefore hazardous if touched .
NEVER approach a burning or burnt out vehicle, even after they are burnt out. They are still dangerous and are a hazard to the public. A burning vehicle fire will consume 500kgs of plastic material and toxic chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide and hydrofluoric acid will be given off.

CoolSculpting is Now Available in Kalamazoo at Southwest Michigan Dermatology's Laser & Skin Care Center
Last week, Dr. Jessica E. Liggett appeared on The Lori Moore Show to talk about CoolSculpting – a fat-freezing procedure offered at Southwest Michigan Dermatology's Laser & Skin Care Center in Kalamazoo. CoolSculpting is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat cell reduction treatment that uses targeted cooling to eliminate fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.
The CoolSculpting treatment begins with a free one-on-one consultation with a licensed aesthetician. It starts with a body analysis – measuring, taking pictures, and looking at all areas of the body where the CoolSculpting machine could be used and determines if you're a candidate for the areas you wish to treat. A proposal that outlines what areas can and cannot be treated and what types of results you can expect to see in individual areas is put together. The aesthetician will present the proposal and discuss with you your budget along with your goals of treatment to come up with a plan. CoolSculpting is not one size fits all, so it's important to customize your treatment for your body type, wants, and needs.
CoolSculpting is usually effective with just one treatment, however, for some patients, two treatments may be necessary. Side effects are extremely minimal and there is no downtime. If a patient experiences weight gain in the future, they can expect even distribution of the weight; however the treated sites will still appear smaller. Once fat cells are formed, your body can only reduce their size, not eliminate them – that's where CoolSculpting comes in. The average patient can expect to spend only about $2200 for multiple areas of the body. In order to determine the exact cost for your treatment, you should schedule an appointment for your free consultation.
At Southwest Michigan Dermatology and Laser & Skin Care Center, we are so excited to offer CoolSculpting in Kalamazoo. If you have stubborn fat that will not go away, CoolSculpting may be right for you. Stop in, call, or contact us online today to set up your free CoolSculpting consultation!

* All Product Research Done For You!
* My Top Earning Affiliate Products Generating Daily Commissions.
* Hundreds of Proven "Conversational" Promos Already Written For You.
* No Research or Writing Required!
Download below to get started right away!
Look, I get it. I've been on both sides of the affiliate marketing equation.
I know the pain of earning $0 day after day -- wondering if I'm wasting my time online.
I also know the feeling of relief and excitement when those $0 days turn to $737 days.
But here's something you need to understand...
It's not going to happen chasing magic formulas.
You know what I'm talking about.
You've seen the sales pages. One guru after another's slick videos showing you their posh lifestyle then promising to reveal their secrets to overnight success.
You won't find that flashy bulls#%@ here.
That's because I've been quietly making my living online for over 20 years now and I'm all about keeping it real.
After all, you're probably not looking to buy a mini-estate and a Lamborghini, or hang out at the Playboy mansion.
You're here because you want to start earning some consistent income online. Maybe all you're looking for is enough to cover your monthly bills and have enough left over to live a little.
Whether that number is fifty bucks a day or $500, I have something that can help you get there.
No, it is not a magic formula and it's not some mystery method you can only guess at until you part with your money.
In fact, I'll tell you exactly what it is.
It's my personal affiliate marketing master file from my last two years of testing and recommending digital affiliate products.
This is the file I make my living from in my spare time.
It contains a list of my top 100 affiliate products, along with all the "conversational" campaigns I created for them.
These are the top selling products in the Internet marketing niche including Wordpress, PLR, Traffic, Facebook, Amazon and even health and fitness.
My campaigns are perfect for solo emails, follow up series, and on social media. They get clicks and generate commissions.
This is not some pipe-dream or theory. It's what I do. I know it works because I make my living from it.
So if you're fed up with magic formulas and just want to start earning...
Why not use the work I've already done...

On the free edge I applied a thin layer of the same gel and applied a gorgeous blue glitter. Also letting it cure for 2 minutes.
When all the nails are covered in glitter, it is time to build the nails. I am using the string technique.
Remove the tacky layer with a lint free wipe and none acetone nail polish remover. Reshape the sidewalls and free edge to get rid of any scratchy edges.
In order for the 3D flowers to stick better to the nails, I remove the shine with a soft buffer.
I picked up a tiny ball of white acrylic and placed it onto the nail. With my size 2 acrylic brush I start to form the flower petal. Repeating the same process over and over till you have as many flower petals as needed. The larger the ball of acrylic, the larger the petal.
In the center of the flower petal I placed a Swarovski crystal. And when all the flowers are made, I sealed the nails with NSI Glaze 'n go and let that cure for 3 minutes.

7 Products for the Konica Minolta BizHub 423 Laser Printer
You Are Here: > Top > Konica Minolta > Konica BizHub > BizHub 423
Konica Minolta BizHub 423 Review
The Konica Minolta 423 Copier offers an all-in-one functionality at an affordable price. It is a copier that would suit all forms of businesses and some homes. This is for homes and businesses that would rather have a big unit that can solve their problems regardless of space. The Konica Minolta Bizhub 423 needs space but it handles high volume copy and printing jobs effectively. With this printer there is a perfect blend of High value and High Output. The printer gives the user an Image quality that is highly improved, increases workflow and saves the business a lot of money.
With the Konica Minolta BizHub 423, one can print, fax and scan documents all at once. It is a complete all-in-one business machine. The fax bit is optional though as you can decide to get one without fax functionality. With a projected monthly duty cycle of over 150,000 pages a month and 3,650-sheets of maximum capacity; this has all the marks of the best tool for your business.
The Konica Minolta BizHub 423 is a heavy one and so businesses with a small work space may find it hard to keep this in place. Again, the touch screen that comes with this product, while good for some individuals could be a challenge for others. Everyone has their preferences and so the printer should have come with added user options. Of course, if you are one that likes using touch screen enabled devices then this won't be much of an issue for you. Other than these two, there are not many negatives to say about the Konica Minolta 423. Some may want to point at its price but looking at the work it does, it represents good value for your money.

text: Hi! Openldap 2.1.3, Berkeley BDB 4.0 I'm more or less certain my question is undocumented, but maybe I'm lazy. Noticed that an unmodified anonymous ldapsearch returns much too much data to be healthy for one's server(s)/dn(s); much worse than 'finger'. Were it to be on the Internet, or were one to have "bad apples" on one's network. So, one spends much time making acl filters till they work, as they should, for ldapsearch. Now when you do an ldapsearch, only the permitted data shows up to the permitted users. Have included the acl bits of slapd.conf below. Since the machine's a test machine (my notebook) anyway, and since I have a very effective Netfilter firewall with full Fireparse logging and reporting, sniffing etc., it doesn't really matter that billy.demon.nl is on the Internet, every now and again; I've nothing to hide. ** Hackers, this is not a challenge **. There's a structural objectClass evolutionPerson, so please don't criticize objectClasses or attributes you don't recognize, as a non-Evolution, Openldap user. There is a virtual, ldap-based user, she's a group manager: cn=Evy etc., uid=evy. At the moment she uses Evolution to do basic user management for members of ou=localusers,dc=billy,dc=demon,dc=nl (she hasn't got any better tools, for the moment). The trouble is, that with these acl filters, root (nor for that matter tonye) can't do su -evy properly any more. We get (root uses ksh, evy uses bash): 1053 [root:billy.demon.nl] /usr/local/var/openldap-data # su - evy id: cannot find name for user ID 505 id: cannot find name for group ID 1001 id: cannot find name for user ID 505 [I have no name!@billy evy]$ root does 'getent passwd evy', works. evy does 'getent passwd evy', doesn't work, since motals may not use getent on my machines. Basically this mucks up everything that used to work without the acl filter. 'ls -l /u/home/evy' just shows the uid and gid numerical values. Evy doesn't get a Gnome panel any more, thus can't even log out, let alone start up Gnome programs, such as Evolution, properly. Remove the 'orrible acl subsection and everything works again; however, anonymous users can again see unauthorized "finger" data. I've done all manner of 'vi /etc/ldap.conf', chmod u+s, straces, ldds, lsofs, suids, visudos, adding and taking away dns etc. etc., but no solace (salvation). Anyone? Pretty please?

Tallstar's RevengeBook - 2013
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I love this book! It is very interesting and I love that there was a twist! Sandgorse needs to chill, I mean his life is not your life! He should be able to make his own decisions, even if you're his father.
Jake is amazing! He's a huge life changer for Talltail (Later Tallstar) Great book! I rate it 5/5 stars!
Interesting twist. Sad that Sandgorse was pressuring him to be a tunneler.
great book! I luv jake!!! :3
Total sympathy for Tallstar.
What a great read! When I was a kid, I used to love the Warriors series, and I can say that I still do! In this one, Talltail (Tallstar, in the later novels), goes on a journey to find his father's killer and avenge his father, whom he never got a chance to receive approval/pride from. During his journey, he finds this kittypet named Jake and he befriends him. Jake turns out to be a huge life-changer in Talltail's life, and eventually influenced him to do the things he's come to do.
Tallstar's revenge inspired me to read lots more.
It's more than outstanding!
awesome book for all i know!
This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life. I was also happy to see WindClan is the main Clan in this book.
I hope you all enjoyed it, too.

An eight-year study of more than 14,000 male physicians found that taking vitamin C and vitamin E did not prevent cardiovascular disease.
The findings for vitamin C are not surprising given the results of numerous studies that reached the same conclusion, says Howard Sesso, a professor at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the study. It will be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
But the findings for vitamin E are new because this was the first large, strictly controlled study to assess the supplement and how it affects the heart and blood vessels, Sesso says.
The men enrolled in the Physicians' Health Study II were broken into four groups, which were given vitamin C and a placebo, vitamin E and a placebo, C and E together, and placebo only. The dosages were 500 milligrams of vitamin C daily and 400 international units of vitamin E every other day. There were about 3,600 men in each group.
When results were assessed, it was found that neither C nor E had an effect on what the researchers call "major cardiovascular events," which include heart attacks, stroke or death.
The study results might seem disappointing for consumers, "but we actually feel this is important from a public health standpoint, given the frequency of these vitamins' use without having good data," Sesso says.
The hope that vitamins C and E might help prevent cardiovascular disease came from both animal and test-tube studies in which the antioxidants had shown heart benefits. There are also studies of people who followed diets rich in these vitamins and who also took supplements.
Annette Dickinson, former president of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a supplement industry group, says the findings point to the need to place supplements in a context in which consumers are also taking other steps toward a healthful life.
"You pull a nutrient out of the whole diet context and you don't see the same effects," she says.
Dickinson says more research is needed to determine whether a higher dose or different form of vitamin E would be more effective.

Credit Check: Did Canadians do the Nazi salute at the '36 Olympics? The film says...

As to the question, did Canadians make the Nazi salute during the games, a look at the video doesn't bode well. It so hard to differentiate a Nazi salute from an Olympic salute that the difference doesn't seem material. Most countries shown, notably the US and Britain don't do it. Canada does with gusto.

Transcript of Joint Press Conference with Rene Hidding MP, Tasmanian Infrastructure Minister
20 May 2015
Northern Midlands Council Chambers,
13 Smith Street, Longford
Rene Hidding: Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for attending here today, which is an exciting day for the State Government and also for the Federal Government. This kicks into play formally a 10-year action plan for the Midland Highway. This is the first funded action plan of this size and nature in 40 years. Without question, the Midland Highway is the backbone of the state's infrastructure network, the roads network, and it's no secret that we have now for years as a political party and as a participant in politics declared it to be unacceptably unsafe. And today, we launch the formal action plan which will control the expenditure over the next nine-odd years of the 10-year action plan. You would have seen already the seven projects in this last—over this last summer. It's brought a lot of excitement to Tasmanian motorists. But it's my pleasure now to welcome to Tasmania the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, a good friend of Tasmania, Minister Jamie Briggs to say a few words and then I'll address some of the detail of this action plan. Jamie, would you address us?
Jamie Briggs: Thank you, Minister. Look, thanks Minister and Eric Hutchinson, who is such a hardworking member for Lyons. He's a constant battler for his electorate, along with the other two amigos from Tasmania who—the only way you are allowed to visit Tasmania is with buckets of cash, and that's what we bring today. Five hundred million dollars worth of it over 10 years. The first time a funded long-term strategy for the Midland Highway has been announced, not just to improve safety, which is so important of course, on top of the Black Spots announcements we made yesterday across Tasmania, but also to improve productivity.
This is a state which 18 months ago when I visited not long after the federal election was down in the doldrums. The attitude of the state was how's the Federal Government going to fix our problems? Can I say in the last two days, being in Tasmania, the attitude of Tasmanians is vastly different. There is a renewed optimism in this state. There's a renewed optimism because you've got a federal and state government who want to talk about growth and want to put in place policies which grow our economy, whether it be the small business tax cuts we announced last week, whether it be Will Hodgman and his plans for Tasmania's growth, or whether it be investment in key infrastructure like this to ensure the productivity of this great state is once again lifted and that this failed social experiment of the Labor and the Greens over 16 years has been put aside and Tasmania gets back to what we know it can do—export some of the world's finest food and produce with infrastructure which supports it.
So, we are a proud partner with a Tasmanian government who wants to work to lift the productivity, to create jobs, and make Tasmania a stronger state in a strong federation. It's a real privilege to be here. We're very proud to be partnering with Minister Hidding, who does so much for this state, along with Will Hodgman to grow this economy. It is, as I say, a proud day for the Federal Government to be part of the first costed, funded plan for this very important piece of infrastructure in Tasmania.
Rene Hidding: So thank you, Jamie, and could I just welcome two mayors here. Mayor David Downie, who is hosting us here today. Thank you for the use of your beautiful council chambers. I'm not sure whether we were somewhat prescient about the weather but we decided to come indoors for this bit and then go out and have a look at the [indistinct]…
Jamie Briggs: [indistinct]
Rene Hidding: And Mayor Bisdee from Southern Midlands, clearly the two key mayors involved in the Midland Highway. Ladies and gentlemen, today, we're launching this 10-year action plan that sets up key priorities for investing $500 million over 10 years. It's a huge commitment by federal and state governments to one road. We are working co-operatively with our federal colleagues and 80 per cent of the funding does come from the Federal Government and 20 per cent from the state. And I should also acknowledge the Road Safety Advisory Council, who has a representative here today, their commitment as well to investing road safety levy funds in this project.
The Hodgman Government in partnership is taking action on this plan. It's a vital link for road freight to transport goods between Tasmania's two major cities and an important social link between regions, so there's a big mix of vehicle types on that highway. In recent years, the tragic fact is that it has witnessed catastrophic casualty crashes, many of the head-on type. Now, the Australian Road Assessment Program, or AusRAP, the 2013 Star Rating Australia's National Network of Highways Report, found that 86 per cent of the Midland Highway is rated either at only one- or two-star in its five-star safety rating schedule. The Government of Tasmania declares this to be simply unacceptable and it must be improved to a three-star minimum and looking for higher from that.
The Midland Highway Partnership Agreement signed between the previous government and the seven stakeholder local councils reflects the policy objective of the Liberal government that the entire route should eventually become a four lane, separated highway, and this objective informs this action plan. Duplication remains our long-term goal, but our priority is making the Midland Highway safer now, not—using known, cost-effective road safety treatments. So what are we doing to achieve this? We're using this AusRAP safer roads methodology and international road safety audit approach developed by the Australian Automobile Association and its member clubs, including the RACT to underpin our investment thinking in this space.
The AusRAP examines the road at every 100 metre section, rating it for its design and build safety from one to five stars. It is a scientific approach to making roads safer, and as I said, we want to go to a minimum AusRAP three-star rating. Tasmania joins jurisdictions leading in road safety that are using star rating targets to promote safer roads, including the Netherlands and New Zealand. And why do we want to lift our star ratings? It is simply because it will save lives and reduce serious injuries.
International research by this—of this technology indicates that the impact of a crash—the crash costs on a two-star road is an average 40 per cent lower than a one-star road and crash cost of a three-star road are on average 61 per cent lower than on two-star roads. And you'll understand from that, we're absolutely entitled to pursue that outcome through this 10-year action plan.
So using the safe system approach, much of this action plan will focus on—and has already in this previous summer with seven projects—the installation of the successful flexible safety barriers to separate traffic; introduce wider medians in the middle of the road; remove roadside hazards. You will have seen that there's whole sections of the highway have had trees removed along—and other things removed along the roadside for the run-off-road crashes that happen way too often. Investment in junction upgrades; we're going to have a look at the [indistinct] road junction shortly, which has been a significant risk to traffic in that area for some time. Widening lanes generally to allow for fewer run-off-road crashes where a small mistake or a small drift off the line by a driver doesn't result in a catastrophic—immediately, a catastrophic run off road. And also adding additional protected overtaking opportunity.
So using this safe system approach, the first projects have already been delivered and there'll be another six or seven projects along the length of the Midland Highway next summer again, and so we thank all the Tasmanian drivers who are being so positive about the projects already. We—they've been saying that you're doing more next year, and yes, we are. This 10-year plan shows—that's behind me on the screen there, and you're all welcome and asked to take a brochure with you—you'll see over the next 10 years that we will deliver a far safer highway under this process.
So I want to take the opportunity to thank Mayor Downie and general manager Des Jennings for their positive approach to the next biggest project—the next major project on the Midland Highway, which we're hoping to kick off this Christmas, and that is the Breadalbane to Perth duplication four-lane highway connecting to the main road network into Launceston. Out this way, there'll be a suite of projects around Perth over the next while, and we thank the Northern Midlands Council for their leadership in working with the community in getting agreement to the detail and the rollout of this entire project.
But this summer there will be at Bagdad to Mangalore this coming summer, Kempton to Melton Mowbray, White Lagoon to Mona Vale in that area and south of Tunbridge stage two as well southbound overtaking lanes. In all of those areas, road widening, flexible safety barriers and extending the sealed shoulders and so with priorities—prioritising projects right across the next ten years. So we—could I advise Tasmanians that my department has developed a smart interactive website so that people can understand where this whole project is going over the next ten years, I encourage you all to check out the site on your iPad today or when you get home or on your smartphone, it's midlandhighway—all one word—.tas.gov.au.
Now we recognise that it's going to be some disruption and delays and we ask everybody to keep their positive attitude and patience in dealing with these roadworks. We've listened to the community, we will make the Midland Highway safer and now if I could ask Jamie to officially launch the Midland Highway ten year action plan, not sure how we're going to do it Jamie, perhaps we just throw our hands in the air or something but…
Jamie Briggs: Well done, how about a handshake?
Rene Hidding: Yeah. Thanks very much Jamie.
Joseph Thomsen: Well done mate, not at all. Thank you. Well done mate.
Rene Hidding: Thanks for your help Jamie. Alright thank you that's now launched so perhaps—you okay if I answer some questions on those matters?
Question: You mention the long term goal is duplication, how—will it take 10 years for the Midland Highway to be dual lane or what's the timeline?
Rene Hidding: It is our long term goal to—for the Midland Highway to be duplicated along its length but if we were to wait for those funds to be available, there would be a huge number of crashes that would occur through inaction and there's been enough of that so we're now stepping in and say for the next ten years, we're going to be focussing on when we're doing—working on either of the two ends, it will be four lanes but when we're working in the middle to make it safer that will be the safe system approach which can be converted to four lanes later so that's our strategy, it has absolute acceptance across the road safety community, the civil construction community and the main funder—our funding partner in this, the Federal Government has absolutely approved our strategy to make this highway safer through this ten year action plan.
Question: And how much money are you still waiting to receive from the Federal Government?
Rene Hidding: Everything that's in the National Partnership Agreement is flowing. It is 400 million coming from the Federal Government and 100 million from the State over the forward estimates. The budget comes out next week and you'll see what the flow—the cash flow of that money—is for the next four years.
Question: As you've mentioned, we had some of this summer rollout and you're talking about more over Christmas, how have the projects been selected over the timeline, like which ones have been prioritised?
Rene Hidding: It's a process of where we can get the quickest result in terms of safety and so where we identify an area—where the Department identifies an area where it's a higher risk than somewhere else, that's where we are, that's where we go and so over the next ten years, we'll be on a priority basis going to those areas where demonstrably they're unsafe through reports of concerns of drivers but also crash statistics. It's—you know an inevitable way to work out where your priorities should be so it's based on safety. It always was and always been our concern has been road safety. There is a side benefit—the productivity for the road transport section of the community but it is primarily about road safety.
Question: Okay. Just on the freight plan with Victoria, there isn't actually any special legislation that has been developed specifically for Tasmania we don't have a lot of details about this plan, what can you shed light on?
Rene Hidding: What we do know is that the Victorian Government is going to privatise its port in a number of parcels, in a number of packages in a certain way and that exposes their major customer—Tasmania—we are 25 per cent of their business to extreme risk if there were to be any artificial pumping of the value of the port parcels through their withholding of commercial negotiations and the raising of rent of people who work on the port such as the logistics companies. Now we've expressed over a long period now, quite a substantial period to the Victorian Government that this is a major threat for Tasmania and that they needn't think we're going to take it laying down.
They're absolutely sure of our commitment to that, there's just recently been a wonderful announcement by the Federal Government on the extension of northbound export freight of up to 50 million a year for Tasmania and we don't want to see one red cent of that go to the Melbourne Port owners. This is money for the Tasmanian economy and we don't want to lose any of it. So we've been speaking to the Victoria Government at every level, I've been speaking with the Ports Minister, the Treasurer's been speaking to the Victorian Treasurer and the Tasmanian Premier has been speaking to the Victorian Premier.
What we can tell you is that we have been advised that legislation is under construction as we speak and that in that legislation there will be protections for the economy of Tasmania. Now we want to see that on a number of levels and yet we—we are yet to see that legislation but we are advised that we don't need to continue on down a discussion of forcing the port—forcing the national—asking the national competition council to consider regulation of the port. That shouldn't be necessary. Regulation is not always the best—not always a good outcome we want to be able to work this out between Victoria and Tasmania. It appears that we may well have worked it out and we're looking forward to legislation coming forward that we can engage with [indistinct].
Question: That legislation was being put together anyway so what new assurances have you had from the Victorian Government? Is there a cap on fees, they've been talking 800 per cent potentially have you had 700 a limit or 600?
Rene Hidding: No the state of Tasmania is exposed particularly through the two commercial shipping operators that have not been able to renegotiate their next term of lease—of a space at the Melbourne Port. That exposes Tasmania—the Tasmanian economy to substantial risk so we would in a direct way wish that to be—to the negotiations of those two private companies to be handled in a completely commercial way. Separately of course the other clients of Melbourne Ports if their rent is going up by 800 per cent, we know who's going to pay. It will be, it will be the Tasmanian economy which will pay because 25 per cent of Melbourne Port's business is Tasmanian business and the Tasmanian economy will pay so we're saying on a number of levels to the Victorian Government you've got to fix this. They accept they've got to fix it; they're going to fix it. We trust them to do so but until we see the cover of the legislation, which of course has got to go through the Upper House in Victoria as well and there's no question that it's got a little way to go but we have certainly had the attention of the Victorian Government and we thank them to date for their positive approach t this. They want to fix this.
Question: Can we ask Mr Briggs the Launceston Airport isn't paying its rates, the mayor of this particular council's been seeking a meeting with the Federal Government for six months. Will you meet Mayor David Downey today fix this issue?
Jamie Briggs: We just did but it's my colleague deputy prime minister who's responsible for airport policy and I understand the Mayor's organising time with the Deputy Prime Minister's Office.
Question: So that's been fixed up that meeting will go ahead now?
Jamie Briggs: I'm not the Deputy Prime Minister's diary secretary so you'd be best to speak to…
Question: But you are the assistant minister for infrastructure, aren't you?
Jamie Briggs: Yes with specific responsibilities which don't include airport policy.
Question: Don't include airport.
Jamie Briggs: That's right.
Unidentified Speaker: Okay, thanks guys, thank you.
Jamie Briggs: Thanks.

The biggest change to date by far, is the post October weekly drives down to PRM. While we kept annual moorage for BoB, she would have been pulled out long ago and our slip would be sitting empty... requiring absolutely zero attention. While there was lots of good intentions to get every little thing crossed of my 'to-do' checklist for Volti, the truth is we were just too busy enjoying her. So with the (for here) hard cold snap (-8 c. Fri. night), it's meant some additional cold weather precautions -mostly setting up some additional low output heaters to keep things from getting too cold. Mid-day yesterday, there was ice formed on the salt-water basin about six slips out from shore. While it was pretty slushy there, it was becoming pretty firm at about the 4th slip from shore. Certainly not typical for here. Like with BoB, I'm tryingto resist leaping into too many projects the first year -electing to wait and learn how to live with her first- and I think I'm getting a clearer picture already. Rather than going the electrical heater route, I'll likely install some some conductive heating within the cooling system -slightly more to set up initially, but simplifying things greatly thereafter. At least that's the plan for spring -for now, turn on the heaters. :^)
Baby it's COLD outside!

ça y est vs. c'est fait
Would you please tell me the difference between "ça y est" and "c'est fait" and when to use which? Both appear to mean "It's done." Thanks.
This question relates to:
French lesson "Ça y est = That's it, It's done"
Kwiziq language super star
Bonjour Johnny ! Actually, French people would often say "Ça y est, c'est fait !" together like this! While "c'est fait" literally means "it's done" in a matter of fact way, "ça y est" is more of an expression of relief or satisfaction at the realisation or completion of an action. You will use "ça y est" when you finally got somewhere, or when someone finally manages to fix something.... The key word here is "finally". In a similar way to "Ça y est", you can also use the versatile "Voilà". I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !

Mid August is Obon (mid July in Tokyo which for some reason still uses the old calendar), the major grave visiting season, the season when deceased ancestors, relatives, return to earth. This year there were visits to 6 cemeteries... one up on last year, though I couldn't quite work out why a relative who has been dead for several years made it onto the grave visiting list for the first time this year. It's one of those questions that won't come with a satisfactory answer so I didn't ask.
Grave visiting is a whole different kettle of fish compared with grave visits in Australia. To begin with, there are mandated grave visiting seasons - Obon in August and O-higan - at the autumn and spring equinox. Also, visiting graves means taking flowers and food offerings. It's greedy of me, but I can't help thing "what a waste" to see good peaches etc cut up as offerings for the crows. In Hiro's part of the world the food offering is an elaborate bento, often a cup of tea or can of coffee, sometimes a small bottle of beer or sake. Because Confucianism and Buddhism brought patriarchy to Japan, the duties are to look after the grave of the family whose name you bear. So Hiro's mother's task is to look after Hiro's father's relatives. It doesn't seem quite reasonable... The biggest difference, at least in the countryside, is that grave tending is an important task which means there should be a grave tender in close proximity. It can create a lot of pressure for people not to move away, even if staying means losing education and employment chances. It's a topic close to home and I'll leave it at that.

Collections: Joel's MCM Addiction
Name: Joel Pirela of Blue Ant Studio
Location: Miami, Florida
Type: Nelson clocks and modern chairs
Size: 7 clocks and too many chairs!
Value: sentimental value
It's so exciting to write something and then hear back from a lot of people. That's the wonderful quality about the web - you put a note in a bottle, it floats away and then a whole bunch of bottles come back. Last week I shared some collections with you and asked for yours. I received many great replies, but want to feature this one from Joel Pirela today...
Joel has a large collection of MidC Modern furniture, all beautifully photographed. He may be addicted, but he sure takes care of himself. I hope you are inspired by his collection as much as I was.
I have an addiction. I love anything MCM, new versions, old editions, vintage. Also, I like modern furniture like patricia urquiola and konstantin grcic... Love nelson clocks and mostly chairs.
The clocks, I have no problem arranging them on a wall I have... The problems are the chairs. 3 in the eat-in kitchen, 4 in the dining area, 4 in the patio, etc.... I need to start collecting smaller stuff, I guess!

Ireland - May 10th, 2006 - Day 7 - Dublin to Bray to Dublin
Today was the first day we were truly free to do whatever we want, since nothing was really planned.
I got on a train headed south for Bray, in order to go to the aquarium. While on the train, I saw these huge white things on the beach, which ended up being giant swans. After that, I saw cliffs and immediately headed for them. I figured I could get a great view.
I walked along the paths for a loooong time and in the process, saw a seal swimming in the water (it was pointed out to me by a friendly gentlemen, who said they swim around here from time to time). After that, I saw a pod of dolphins, which I tried to get some photos of. They're a bit small, but that's because my phone didn't have optical zoom.
After walking as far as I could (I thought I would get to an end at some point...but the closest I got was seeing the next city 10 or so kilometers away). I decided to turn back.
I finally made it back to where I started and stopped by the arcade (I wanted to see Irish videogames). I tried my luck at winning a PSP but failed miserably. After that I headed to the aquarium. I have some really cool videos from there that I will have to post as well.
After that, I rode back to Dublin and we hit up the Temple Bar while we waited to go to the Vat for our final dinner. Once there, we ate for awhile and plotted for Phil's birthday, which was coming up that night (12:01am!).
