The Homerun for Hospice tournament held in April raised $2,137 for Niagara Hospice. High school baseball teams from Depew, Lewiston-Porter, Starpoint and Wilson competed.
Lew-Port varsity coach Mark Waple organized the event as a way for the players to learn the importance of giving back to the community. "I'm proud of all of the players, they did a great job, and we were glad to be able to help Niagara Hospice with our donation," Waple said.
Players from each school collected donations before the tournament, while sponsorships from local businesses and community members helped make the event a success. "The players did a great job raising money, and our sponsors were so generous to donate to the event," said Maureen Rizzo of Niagara Hospice.

LISLE, Ill. – Albion College's struggles in road games under the lights continued as Benedictine University scored 25 second half points to erase a 28-7 halftime deficit and hand the Britons a 32-28 loss.
Albion scored on its first two possessions. A 56-yard connection between Spencer Krauss and Zach Brewer on the first play moved the ball to the Benedictine 9 and Clinton Orr scored from 3 yards out three plays later.
Benedictine did not manage a first down on its first offensive possession, and the Britons rode Darrin Williams' legs to get in position for another score. Krauss found Cody Crawford for a 2-yard scoring strike and the Britons led 14-0 just 7 ½ minutes into the game.
The Eagles took advantage of the Britons' aggressive blitzes to march 65 yards in 13 plays for their first score. The big play was a 24-yard pass on fourth down to set up a 1-yard run by Cyle Schultz.
Albion tacked on two more touchdowns in the second quarter as Krauss and Williams hooked up on an 8-yard scoring strike and Orr ran in from 10 yards out.
Albion got off to a good start in the second half as Mike Vandermus picked off a pass to end Benedictine's first possession.
Albion fumbled to give the ball back and Benedictine needed five plays to get in position for Schultz to make a 17-yard pass to John Borsellino for the touchdown.
The Britons gave Benedictine additional momentum when the offense was unable to generate a first down and the fourth-down snap sailed over the punter's head for a safety. Benedictine would score a touchdown after the free kick to cut Albion's lead to 28-24.
Another safety led to Borsellino's 77-yard return on the free kick to complete the scoring for the night.
Orr finished with 101 rushing yards for the Britons and Krauss completed 10 passes for 164 yards.
Albion will complete the non-league portion of the schedule Sept. 22 with a home game against Central (Iowa) College.

Thanks to clever marketing, advertising, and the fetishization of brand names, spending more doesn't always mean getting a better quality product. In fact, Consumer Reports regularly finds when testing appliances and other products that a high price tag is no guarantee of quality or durability.
But here are some cases where spending more can mean better quality and value, and what to look for to ensure that's the case.
There's a running theme to this list: You can buy something cheap and have to replace it more often, or you can do a little research and buy something once. Another rule of thumb is that if you use it all the time, make sure it's going to hold up.
"The more I use a gadget, the more I'm willing to spend," says Pete Berthold, a computer graphics artist. "I always get the newest iPhone because I use it often, every day. Otherwise I tend to go lower or mid range on items that I don't use frequently."

Update: LG just sent out the teaser invitation for their MWC press conference. It clearly says "Into the new dimension" so we fully expect to see 3D phones from LG in a couple of weeks.
It looks like 2011 is shaping up to be the year of the dual-core processor, but another emerging trend in high-end smartphones is glasses-free 3D displays. Sharp already released 3D phones in Japan, HTC might reveal their first in conjunction with Sprint, and now it appears that LG is also joining the 3D party.
European mobile phone retailer The Carphone Warehouse accidentally published a coming soon page for a phone called LG Optimus 3D. The listing has since vanished and no other details were revealed, but LG just announced their own glasses-free 3D displays at CES so it's believable that a phone could be on the way.
The glasses-free 3D screen that LG Electronics showed off at CES was one of the largest auto-stereoscopic displays (designed for a mobile device) that I have seen and measured in at 4.3 inches. LG's 3D display uses an applied parallax barrier technology and features a WVGA 800×480 resolution.
"LG sees tremendous growth potential in the 3D mobile display market," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. "With our key understanding of displays, entertainment and mobile technology, LG is looking forward to debuting this exciting new way to watch 3D movies or play games on your mobile phone."
This accidental leak is interesting because it comes the day after we learned of NVIDIA's 1.2 GHz Tegra 2 3D processor. LG was the first handset maker to announce support for the Tegra 2, so maybe they will also be the first to use the new Tegra 2 3D.
We shouldn't have to wait too much longer to see what LG is up to since their Mobile World Congress press event is on February 14th. Check back in a couple of weeks for some hands-on reports.

okay this is curios question, if i wanted admin access the a comp at a library from a guest login would it be possible?
hell yes !!
One question for you. Why? You won't to "hack" a library? This isn't just an "I'm curious" question you asked
<CHaZ> hey guys, how would i go about cracking into the libraries network from the libraries computer?
<-- CHaZ has quit ([services.antionline.com] Local kill by hogfly (hogfly))
<aeallison> go hogfly
--> CHaZ (email@example.com) has joined #GeneralChitChat
<-- CHaZ has quit (Quit: CHaZ)
I'm pretty sure hacking or cracking your library would be illigal...
Come to UnError.com
Im not sure if Im mistaking, but are there really any limits to what you can do on/with a computer? Im just curious too..
hey microburn, if i wanted access to the library computers i would just do allittle social engineering, which i am VERY good at. i just wanted to know if it was possible with out any help for the librarians to get admin acess.
Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, chaz. The question is: why do it in the first place? What will you benefit from getting total access to a library's computer? You need to ask yourself these kind of questions before you do anything illegal.
\"If you can\'t make it good, make it look good.\" - Bill Gates
This is a security site, not a hacking one. Go to some kiddie site and ask how to hack a library.
Space For Rent.. =]
Hacking a library is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.First off,most librarys are funded by tax dollars,so any damage you do would ultimately be coming out of your pocket and the pockets of your family,friends,and any AO members from the US.Second,it's illegal.Third,there's no reason to hack a library.Why hack something that gives away vast amounts of info free of charge(maybe a small library card charge or late fee).Are you mad that you have a $5000 late fee on a book you checked out 15 years ago or something???
[shadow]I don\'t believe in anarchy.If you\'re not smart enough to beat the system it\'s your problem. [/shadow]
You asked the same thing in irc....bad monkey no cookie for you!!! (meaning he came into irc and asked how to hack the library)

...allittle social engineering, which i am VERY good at.
But I doubt it
i just wanted to know if it was possible with out any help for the librarians to get admin acess.
Without any help from libererians?
Why don't ask from libererians for some good books on networking, NT, Novel, programming .... by your good social enginnering skills? Then you'll find out how to access their comp, and after that you will find out that you shouldn't do that, and should help people to securing their comp.

Would it really be such a bad thing if we stocked our schools with guns? School systems routinely ask taxpayers for money to buy new computers, textbooks, and staff development training -- I propose sticking a line item in the annual education budgets for staff firearms training. Who loves the thought of this? Absolutely no one. I support gun rights and it sickens me that it's come to this, but you know what? It's come to this. I can't help wonder if Dawn Hochsprung, Mary Sherlach, or another trained staffer at Sandy Hook Elementary School had had access to some kind of weapon, that initial confrontation with Adam Lanza in the front hallway might have gone down differently. If educators at that school had had guns and were trained in how to use them, we might be having a totally different conversation today and 26 beautiful, precious lives may still be inhabiting this earth.
You always go through a litany of ifs and maybes after a tragic event like this. If Hochsprung had had a gun, maybe she could have shot Adam Lanza in that hallway, before he even managed to enter a classroom. Maybe she would have shot at him and missed, and taken a bullet herself, but the mere attempt could have caused him to panic and shoot himself before taking another innocent life. The rumor is that Lanza had enough ammunition to take out the entire school, but that he shot himself as soon as he got indication that first responders had entered the building. Maybe the knowledge that schools kept weapons on hand would have deterred him from even going there in the first place.
You cannot force a teacher to arm herself or to even learn to use a gun if she doesn't want to. It's not like you could just add a mandatory gun course to her college curriculum. Using a gun or even being in the same room as one cannot be forced. You need to have the confidence and willingness to operate a gun and pull the trigger if you need to. That's just not a part of everyone's DNA. (Staffing all schools with an armed police officer is also an option here, and is in use at many schools already.)
But I'm willing to bet that there would have been at least one teacher in that school who would have gladly taken on the job as "safety officer" or some such designated title for the school, in the same way that staff are appointed "safety wardens" in the case of fire drills and evacuations.
One of those teachers would have agreed to -- in complete conjunction with the local police department -- take a course, undergo extensive background checks, and be given a key to a locked compartment, where no kids have access, to a weapon that could be used against intruders like Adam Lanza. After what happened on December 14, I'd bet anything you'd find at least one willing teacher at every school.
We can take guns away from the Nancy Lanzas of the world, and even cut down on the amount of illegal firearms on the streets. But the sick, angry, evil Adam Lanzas of the world will still find another way. They will build a bomb from the Internet or use knives or their car. They will continue to come for our kids whether we take all the guns away or not.
So, yeah, let's get illegal guns away from criminals and restrict legal access to assault weapons and anything else we need to do to lessen the chances of a massacre like this from happening again. But then let's ensure it NEVER happens again by putting those same guns into the hands of our teachers. And pray they never, ever have to use them.
Do you support giving guns to our teachers?

Bleak music for bleak situations/weather
A little bit more than a "it's snowing...snow music please!" thread, hopefully at least. When the weather is pretty torrid (Nottingham right now) and you're somewhere pretty isolated and exposed, some people would probably prefer to stick on a cheery album to perk them up. Not me, I like to wallow in the bleakness, often with () by Sigur Ros. Other suggestions?
A couple of years back, I made this (with the help of the DiS community)
Long dark songs, for long dark nights http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/4r5oUT6Kw2DwAWJChbtcAh
Since leaving Manchester
I've come to fully appreciate the gloomy beauty of Unknown Pleasures. What a work of oppressive art! Perfect for grey days. Realised today I've been listening to it since I was at least 17 - almost ten years - always enjoying it but never like this. Surely the mark of a classic.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Year of No Light - Ausserwelt
I keep returning to it.I can't find a youtube link to the album, but here is a live vid
These songs got a lot of plays the summer before last
which was incredibly bleak for some reason. Lot of rain and grey days.
Portishead - Chasing the Tear
Sparklehorse feat. Thom Yorke - Wish You Were Here
Röyksopp - What Else Is There?
when it's really cold and bleak outside
I always find myself listening to Rid of Me by PJ Harvey. Or Teenage Snuff Film by Rowland S Howard.
The Eraser by Thom Yorke
Mostly the song, but the album in general as well.Antelope this'd this
I've walked several km's in the rain to this album
and I can confirm that it's perfect for it.
Throbbing Gristle - D.O.A.
Not their best album, but definitely the one for a freezing rainy day while walking to the bus stop across a council estate where two rail-thin dogs are fucking on the footpath next to a discarded microwave oven.DaddyorChips this'd this
For those wintery, bleak nights
Blue notebooks by Max Rixhter does the job when I want a bit of a wallow. I find parts of the album surprisingly tense and pretty scary when I'm in that sort of mood too.
Elizabeth Anka Vajagic - Stand With the Stillness Of This Day
Germanic mutter-wail of a thing over some black folk with added cello.
Efrim of GYBE/ASMZ guests on some tracks.
On Constellation.
Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain
All the more sadly appropriate now.pichaelmarker and Elfrim this'd this

Though the days of couples carving their initials into treestumps and undeniable love-at-first-sight reside only in fiction, the fact is, you can't deny the appeal of falling in love while wrapping yourself in a Snuggie and slurping instant noodle soup. Online dating services allow users to construct and hide behind tippy-top versions of themselves and simultaneously lust over the photoshopped versions others. While one could argue that these websites such as OK Cupid attempt to build love from sham, statistics show that online dating was the root of 17% of last year's marriages.
For Zine Library Day, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is creating the world's largest zine, measuring out at 6 feet by 8 feet.
On August 18th, the fifth annual queer lit bookfair, Queer Between the Covers, is taking place in Montreal, as a part of the 10-day Montreal Pride program.
The collective mobile zine project Cross Pollinate is looking for your participation in their show and tell zine tour. The central mission of Cross Pollinate is to create spaces and communities across the country for people to exchange wisdom, skills, ideas, and art. Participation in this tour may entail traveling in the zine mobile, contributing to Cross Pollinate's project at their local stops, organizing local events, and hosting tourmates in your home. Though their exact route is not explicity planned, they shall venture out from California in the last week of June, head up through the West Coast, then eventually land in Nebraska in early August. They are still open for potential destinations, hosts, and organizers across the country. Cross Pollinate is especially interested in bringing their project to marginialized areas such as international communities, land projects, small towns and rural areas, and wheel-chair accessible venues.
To find out more information: http://zinemobile.wordpress.com/
To get in touch with the organizers of the tour email: firstname.lastname@example.com
50 Shades of Grey, the bestselling book that you caught your mother reading in the bathtub, tells of a post-grad, virginal woman's experience as a submissive in a BDSM sexual relationship. Despite her initial hesitation and isolation, she ultimately engages in her subordinate role, desirous of the painful pleasure that he concedes her.
Explicitly erotic and yet wildly popular, 50 Shades of Grey apparently taps into a specific sexual "fantasy" of many women: a lust for submission.
Well, pardon me, but I couldn't imagine a "fantasy" that seems to mirror female reality much more accurately. Is author EL James perhaps implying that women, even behind closed doors, would rather be in a poisiton of subordinance? Does she reinforce pornographic standards that women must find their own loss of control appealing? Is it wrong to find this sexual dynamic appealing? Are we reading too much into this, and do I have to keep imagining my mom in a bubble bath?
Make your voice heard about the book noone will stop talking about on Thursday, June 26th from 7-9 at Revolution Books 146 West 26th Street, Manhattan
(btw 6th & 7th Avenues, #1 to 28th St.). The discussion will be hosted by Sunsara Taylor and the Project to End Pornography and Patriarchy: The Enslavement and Degradation of Women.
For more information, contact email@example.com .
University of Cambridge grad student Stefanie Carter is looking for authors and readers of Riot Grrrl zines to be interviewed for her research thesis. In her work, she hopes to emphisize the importance of zines and networks of zinesters to the Riot Grrrl movement overall.
Because Stefanie is located in the UK, the interview will be recorded over the phone, email, or Skype for US residents. The interview will be approximately one-hour long and will consist of pre-composed questions as well as questions that arise during conversation.
If you would be interested in participating in this interview or would like to recieve more information, contact Stefanie at firstname.lastname@example.com.
NYC-based feminist collective For The Birds is compiling a zine about grief and loss for its third issue of "The Worst." For the Birds is looking for your experiences with grief and loss that may include but are not limited to those dealing with multiple losses, oppression and loss, community movements to address and process loss, children and loss, things that help you feel better while grieving, gender roles and grief expression, how to support people who are grieving, and treatment of grief by the mental health industry vs. radical mental health movements
Send relevant submissions to email@example.com by August 1st.
From an email exchange with the researcher, Michelle Pronovost:
I am a Masters student in Fashion and Textile Studies at FIT and have just finished an independent study of the Riot Grrrl Archives at NYU. I am writing my thesis about riot grrrl fashion covering the late 80s to mid/late 90s. I am interested in talking with women who were involved with the movement and how they used dress or other body adornments to further the political and/or feminist views they were stating through their music, in zines, in their communities. This is a largely unexplored area of subcultural style among women and I hope to expand the body of literature on this topic. Please contact me at michelle.pronovost@gmail. if you are willing to participate in a phone interview or email questionnaire.

Service Learning
What is Service Learning?
Service Learning is an academically based program at NWACC that allows students to engage, network, and work with the community to complete student-driven and developed service projects. Through the development of individual, team, and/or group projects, students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom with "real life" experiences to meet a course's learning objectives. Service Learning reaffirms the college's connection to the NWA community, and to our larger society, by honoring students' service efforts in ways that enable them to further their education through applied learning while allowing them to reflect on what they learned and on their service. Service Learning can be used in any subject as long as the instructor offers this option and it is appropriate to the overall learning objectives of a specific course. All students who complete Service Learning projects will be recognized as "Service Learning Scholars" on their transcripts. Students who participate in Service Learning projects tend to have a competitive edge when applying for scholarships, for entrance into four-year colleges and universities, and in the job market.

Take on adventure along the scenic Brisbane River. Experience life as a drover on a cattle drive along South Australia's historic Oodnadatta Track. Head to lush Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory or to Western Australia's Kununurra for the huge Ord Valley Muster. White water raft on Tasmania's wild west coast or fish and camp along the Murrumbidgee River Corridor, near Canberra. Autumn is also jam-packed with events, from food and wine festivals to fashion weeks and Melbourne's Grand Prix.
Our autumn brings you...
Yarra Valley
The Yarra Valley is home to more than 80 wineries, ranging from small, family-owned operations to large estates. The region is renowned for producing Australia's finest pinot noir and sparkling wine, along with a range of other cool-climate wines. It was Victoria's first planted wine region back in 1838. The region is known for its fresh produce including freshwater salmon, trout and caviar, organically grown fruit and vegetables and handmade cheeses and preserves. Follow one of the many self-drive wine trails and fill your picnic hamper on the Yarra Valley Food Trail or at the many huge, fresh food markets.
Tasmania's Wild West Coast
On the west coast of Tasmania, unlimited adventure is the natural way to holiday. Base yourself in the scenic, edge-of-the-world fishing town of Strahan. Then white-water raft the pristine and untamed Franklin River rapids or cruise or kayak down the tranquil Gordon River. Hike past thousand-year-old Huon pines in one of the world's last temperate rainforests. Soar over the wilderness in a helicopter, take an historic train from Queenstown or sail across Macquarie Harbour. This area also has a rich, layered human story - of convicts, pioneers, loggers, miners and more recently, environmental activists.
Great Walks of Australia
Discover Australia's collection of premium guided walk experiences. These multi-day walks let you explore spectacular regions of the country in comfort.
Circle Tasmania
Soak up Hobart's convict history before heading to Freycinet National Park and the perfect curve of Wineglass Bay. Swim in St Helens and do the Bay of Fires Walk in Mount William National Park. Look over Launceston from Cataract Gorge and cycle along Devonport's waterfront. Soothe your soul in the World Heritage-listed wilderness of Cradle Mountain - Lake St. Clair National Park. Stay in Strahan and cruise the Gordon River or white water raft the furious Franklin. Walk from waterfalls and fern forests to ski fields in Mount Field National Park. From the tranquil beaches of Tasmania's east to the rugged mountains flanking the west, this circle will leave you spellbound.
Three Great Days in Broome
See it all in Broome, the remote, romantic pearling port in the north-west corner of the Kimberley. Purchase a pearl in Chinatown, where many of the buildings were built in the exciting early pearling days. Continue the nostalgia in the pearling museum or on an old pearl lugger. Hop on a camel and watch the famous, fiery sunset over Cable Beach. Catch the natural magic trick of Staircase to the Moon, bird spot in Roebuck Bay and see prehistoric dinosaur prints at Gantheaume Point. Devote your final day to a 4WD adventure along the magical Dampier Penisula, where you can extend your stay in traditional Aboriginal communities.
Adventure on the Brisbane River
Don't be deceived by the wide, mangrove-fringed Brisbane River winding leisurely through the Brisbane city centre. This scenic, serene waterway is the backdrop for a whole range of exhilarating outdoor adventure. Kayak past Brisbane's glittering sky-line at night or take in the breathtaking panorama of the city and its surrounds from the top of the Story Bridge. Climb or abseil the sheer cliffs at Kangaroo Point or walk, bike ride or rollerblade over the floating walkways of Brisbane Riverwalk. Afterwards, take an adrenalin break in the City Botanic Gardens or the lush riverside parks of South Bank.
Slow down and savour the good life in Orange, which sits at the foot of an extinct volcano, four hour's drive west of Sydney. Visit the cool-climate wineries and acclaimed restaurants. Sample the region's delectable food and wine at the Orange F.O.O.D Week in April or later in the year at the Orange Winefest in October. Wander through the Orange Botanical Gardens, walk the City Heritage Trail or enjoy the view over the city from Mt Canobolas, an ancient volcanic peak. Just beyond Orange lies one of Australia's first gold-mines, the limestone caves of Borenore Karst Conservation Reserve and charming historic villages.
The Murrumbidgee Corridor
You can't ignore the call of the great outdoors in the Murrumbidgee River Corridor, easily accessible from Canberra. All kinds of natural communion are possible along this short, lovely section of the river's epic 1,600km journey from the mountainous Australian Alps. Take short walks near Uriarra Crossing or Tharwa or tackle the 27km Murrumbidgee Discovery Track. Swim, kayak and picnic at Casuarina Sands and play cards in the shade of Cotter campground. Fish for Murray cod and listen to native birds warble in the bushland. Pick your day destination from Canberra or combine a few scenic spots on a riverside camping trip.
Great Alpine Road
Travel from Melbourne through the Australian Alps to the lakes, beaches and national parks of Gippsland. Stop in Milawa for cheeses and Rutherglen for wine. Horse ride and mountain bike in Mount Buffalo National Park. Connect to gold-rush history and the legend of Ned Kelly in Glenrowan and Beechworth. Ski on Mount Hotham or walk through spring wildflowers on the Bogong High Plains. Canoe down the Mitchell River and swim, fish and surf on Ninety-Mile Beach. On Australia's highest accessible sealed road you can feast on fresh produce and fish, cycle, ski, climb or ride every step of the way.
Clare Valley
The Clare Valley is one of Australia's oldest wine regions. It is best known for its Riesling wine, and is often called the home of Australian Riesling. Its Mediterranean-style climate is ideal for the production of quality Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon and Merlot grapes. The Clare Valley has more than 40 wineries, most of which are small and located along a 40 kilometre corridor between the towns of Auburn and Clare. Walk or cycle the Riesling Trail which connects many of the region's major attractions and cellar doors, or travel in style and explore the region by limousine.
Luxury Lodges of Australia
Luxury Lodges of Australia is a collection of independently owned and operated luxury lodges and camps offering unforgettable experiences in some of Australia's most inspiring landscapes.
Litchfield National Park
Litchfield National Park, with its lush woodlands, spectacular waterfalls, sparkling plunge pools and tall termite mounds is an increasingly popular trip from Darwin. In Northern Territory terms it's just a short two-hour drive away. What's more all the main natural attractions - including Buley Rockhole and the dramatic Florence, Tolmer and Wangi falls - are easily accessible from Litchfield's main road. Check out the cleverly-constructed termite mounds, swim in pandanus-lined pools and take scenic walks on a day trip. Or stay, camp and hike or 4WD to the more remote reaches of the park.

Wolman '10 named HHMI Medical Research Fellow
Says taking time off while in medical school is important
Dylan Wolman '10 is taking a year out of medical school to do intense lab research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus as part of the HHMI Medical Research Fellows Program. He is one of 70 medical students who is doing research this year.
"A year of research provides an avenue to practice what should be an essential skill in any scientific field: questioning 'why,' " Wolman tells reporters at HHMI. "It is a thought exercise that will serve you there by teaching you to question why an unexplained symptom in a particular disease constellation occurs, and perhaps even help you develop the spark necessary to pursue that question to its answer," Wolman says.
While at Brandeis, Wolman, a Bio/Neuro double major, did undergraduate research in the Paradis lab. His thesis on "Involvement of USP12 and USP46 ubiquitin proteases in synaptic glutamate receptor accumulation" earned him high honors in Neuroscience. Wolman is currently a medical student at Tufts University School of Medicine.

The kujang Image
The Kujang is full of mysteries.
It is said to contain its shape with a force magical mystical powers.
Attached to its original form, it brings us back to the old philosophy of sundanais: Hindu heritage.
The creation of the original Kujang was inspired agrarian a tool. This tool was widespread between the 4th and 7th century AD.
The shape of the current Kujang slightly changed since the agrarian blacksmiths tools of this era (as Empu Windusarpo, Empu Ramayadi and Empu Mercukundo which can be seen in parts of the country local museums Sunda).
It is only in the 9th century 12me Kujang that took the form that we know it today. En 1170 il y eu un changement dans le Kujang. In 1170 there was a change in the Kujang.
Its value as a talisman qu'amulette or spreading, these virtues were recognized by the nobility and the authorities of the Kingdom of Pajajaran Makukuhan, especially during the reign of Prabu Kudo Lalean.
During one of his spiritual retreats, Kudo Lelean had the mental vision of the new form of a blade made to Kujang scheduled to be closer to the shape of the island of "Djawa Dwipa" (name of the island of Java at that time . Immediately the sovereign commander in the Royal blacksmith, Empu Windu Supo, to forge a blade following the instructions of his vision. It would become a weapon full of quality and full of mystical spirituality; magic object, a unique form, as future generations will combine always Makukuhan Pajajaran kingdom.
Note also that Silat using the short stick (or Kayu Tonglat), the long stick, belt (Selendang or Bengkong), ergot ....

Reading through the list of warrior changes, there were two things that heroic leaped out at me.
1. Heroic Leap, it's all about the fluff
Heroic leap sounds cool and all, but it's functionally equivalent to Charge + Thunderclap. And to hammer home the similarity, Juggernaut and Warbringer will allow this to be used in any stance and possibly while in combat. From this we can deduce that the cooldown on Heroic Leap will be greater than the cooldown on Charge, because it's cooler and therefore should not be used as frequently. (This is game designer logic, by the way.)
And also, the entire appeal of this ability lies in the animation and sound effect. Really as a Prot Warrior, I'd have preferred a Shockwave to a Thunderclap, just for the sheer cartoon 'Anvil falling on your head' effect, but that's probably deemed overpowered for the dps specs.
2. One handed Fury is back in style?
While we like how Titan's Grip plays, we recognize some warriors liked the Fury tree because of the really fast swings that dual-wielding one-handed weapons could provide. Therefore, we're planning to try out a talent called Single-Minded Fury that is parallel to Titan's Grip and will provide a large boost to the damage of a pair of one-handed weapons.
I always liked the cuisinart style of the one handed fury builds, so count me among the people who would be happy to see that return. But do Blizzard really want to have to balance two handed fury builds, one handed fury builds, and arms for PvE at the same time?
There are some big advantages from bringing back the option to dual wield one handed weapons, mostly that Fury warriors could share weapons with Frost Death Knights since they use similar stats. It would also make sense for one of the one-handed weapon types to be solely itemised for strength (i.e. for plate users) and others for agility (i.e. everyone else). This would not fit with the weapon related racial bonuses – but really, what's the chance of finding a matching pair of strength-based one handed axes when the one handed drops are going to be split between several classes, specs, and races?
One thing is for sure, warriors are going to have enormous and impressive …. weapon collections.
Other tweaks to Fury will make it easier and more rewarding to apply sunders, and will generate rage on interrupts as well as regular hits. (This latter really should be inherent in Pummel and not require a talent, but I guess that if people feel they don't need the rage then they can just skip it.) Whirlwind also becomes a true AE, with a note that it should no longer be part of the regular DPS rotation but without any specifics.
I don't get a strong feel yet for how the Fury rotation is going to look in future. One staple (Whirlwind) is being de-emphasised, so maybe that gets replaced by cleave or heroic strike? Who knows. We'll have to try it out.
3. So how popular will warriors be in Cataclysm?
Hatch reckons that the numbers will decrease because this preview doesn't offer anything very exciting. I think that we haven't seen previews for the other tanking classes yet to compare this with, and that a lot of Death Knight tanks will switch to Protection Warrior if they don't fancy tanking in Blood spec.
I also think that some of these changes, together with the rage changes, will be exciting to some players. (I know people who have been moping about losing one handed fury builds since Wrath first dropped and all DPS warriors will be happy for easier sunders.) I also think that Warrior will be a popular Worgen class, and that Blood Elf Warriors will appeal to a lot of players.
So I think that warriors will continue to be the most popular class for raid tanks, and that numbers overall will stay about the same.

united states | healthy teeth, healthy me
A prescription for healthy smiles.
To promote strong, healthy teeth early on, Sesame Workshop is helping families prevent tooth decay in young children.
Healthy teeth matter –– more than many realize. Affecting about 40 to 50 percent of U.S. children by age 5, tooth decay can negatively impact school performance, social relationships, and overall health — with kids from low-income families hit the hardest.
Launching in March 2012, our Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me initiative helps put preschoolers on the path to oral health as early as age 2, with Sesame's furry role models showing the way. This bilingual English–Spanish program emphasizes the importance of good oral health and offers easy routines for keeping teeth clean and healthy, through the use of lively print materials, DVDs, and digital media tools that families can use together.
Major funding provided by Sam's Club Giving Program. Generous support from MetLife Foundation.

Friday, July 01, 2011 - Marcel Juras's Helping Hand
Jakub Stehno comes from Vysoke Myto. He is a handsome guy, with a nicely defined body on a slim frame. I think he looks very good indeed.
Michal Kittner is from Popovice. Some members, with a long memory might recall that Michal also did a casting in 2004. He still looks good in this casting, and made some very good wood.
Jan Roucka comes from Martin in Slovakia. He is a very good looking guy, with a nice build too. He doesn't have he best posture, in his casting, but I am sure we can work on that. He does have a nice thick dick and a lovely ass, with a hairy crack.

Bib&Sola's Carafe: Found What I'm Looking For
Much as I love Bono and his philanthropic band of (RED)-clad merry men, the idea of buying most (RED) products as a way to give money to Africa just never worked for me. I would rather buy a t-shirt I actually like and write a check to Mercy Corps. But while flipping through UK's Elle Decoration this month, I discovered Bib&Sola's glass carafe and tumblers. The products boldly accomplish what even the writer of "Mysterious Ways" could not: they combine charitable purchase power with gorgeous design.
Aesthetically, the pieces in the Marta Collection, which are hand-blown in Venice by local artisans, are designed to have an animated, liquid quality that mirrors their function. Used as water receptacles, the products honor the history and strength of women water-bearers. Philanthropically, a percentage of all proceeds go to THE ONE Foundation, which funds water system development in Malawi. If "the goal is elevation" both Bono and René Lalique would surely approve.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

NSA to Hackers: A Little Help?
Jul 30, 2012 11:37 AM PT
United States National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander has urged hackers to contribute to securing cyberspace.
Speaking at the DEFCON 2012 security conference, Alexander said the hacker community and the U.S. government cybercommunity share some core values.
"At DEFCON 20, Gen. Alexander discussed shared challenges and shared responsibilities in cyberspace," NSA spokesperson Vanee Vines told TechNewsWorld. "He also told DEFCON participants that they have the ability to help educate the nation about cybersecurity."
A summary of Alexander's speech can be viewed here.
"Hackers are often patriotic and many, particularly at DEFCON, think of themselves as the good guys," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Calling on them for help both showcases the reality that the problems can't be handled by government alone and appeals to both attributes to garner assistance."
The General in His Labyrinth
Global society needs the best and brightest to help secure our most valued resources in cyberspace, Alexander said. Those resources are our intellectual property, our critical infrastructure, and our privacy.
Hackers can help educate people who don't understand cybersecurity as well as they do, he added. He also stated that the private sector and the government need to improve their information sharing.
The hacker community has built many of the tools needed to protect cyberspace, such as Metasploit, Alexander remarked. He also praised hackers, stating they figure out vulnerabilities in our systems.
Yes, but Hackers?
It's the suspicion that governments and law enforcement agencies are spying on individuals that hacktivist groups such as Anonymous cite when they attack government and law agency websites.
Law enforcement agencies around the world have responded by cracking down on hacktivists, sometimes painting them as cyberterrorists and cybercriminals.
In 2011, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and law agencies abroad cracked down on suspected members of Anonymous, a move that saw 16 suspects arrested in the U.S. alone.
In February, the international police organization Interpol arrested 25 suspected Anonymous members.
In both cases, the crackdowns triggered retaliatory attacks by hacktivists on various targets, including U.S. government websites. Interpol's website was apparently taken down after the February arrests.
In the Eye of the Beholder
"The term 'hacker' is a morally neutral term that is charged with connotation," Randy Abrams, research director at NSS Labs, told TechNewsWorld. "What we are talking about is [the NSA] reaching out to people with exceptional computer skills. Some of these are decent people and some are not; some have political visions that are in line with our government's, and others don't."
There is always a risk/reward equation in cybersecurity, "and you do not get the best rewards without taking some risks," Abrams continued. "Private industry is up against the same problems."
The U.S. government seems to be willing to tap any source of help, taking risks it apparently deems necessary. Alexander's call at DEFCON 12 was not the first time a U.S. government agency has reached out to hackers -- the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) did so at a cybercolloquium in North Virginia in November.
"Virtually all governments" have been losing out to hackers," Enderle said. "Government is overmatched."
Nothing Personal - It's Just Business
The U.S. government agency's reach-out is "part of a strategic PR approach," NSS Labs' Abrams suggested. The war with hackers "is probably not winnable for the foreseeable future" and reaching out to hackers may help because "damage can be controlled with more and better resources."
However, "there is a deep distrust of government in [the hacker] community, and that will likely be the most difficult thing to overcome," Enderle pointed out. The government "is likely going to have to both give something back and address their concerns that the government itself is evil."
That distrust may not have been helped by Alexander's response to a question after his speech. He reportedly claimed that the NSA doesn't keep files on Americans, a statement that was challenged by William Binney, a former NSA technical director, during a panel discussion later.
Unless government addresses those concerns, its reaching out to hackers will fail, Enderle warned.

Yale Medicine was established in the 1950s as the medical school's alumni bulletin. It adopted a magazine format in the 1960s and evolved into a school-wide magazine. Full color, which had occasionally graced the cover, was introduced to the interior pages with the Winter/Spring 1998 issue and is now used throughout the magazine. In 2014 we adopted a new look and new approach with a redesign and themed issues that explore topics in medicine, biomedical science, and medical education in depth.
Yale Medicine has broadened its readership to include the greater medical school and Yale University community, national and international media, individual benefactors and prospective donors, corporate and foundation officers, as well as the larger medical, educational and scientific community.

Police also found Michelle's body in his apartment and believe that Arndt fatally shot the high school senior before killing himself. Michelle signed up to enter the Army Reserves after graduating from Rockville High School in spring 2013.

text: Superfood savvy: Five fantastic foodsChris Jackson, Getty Images 02.16.2012Wild salmon Grill it, steam it, bake it, you name it. However you go about cooking it, with salmon you can't go wrong. The omega-3 fatty acid rich, lean protein fish is full of vitamin D, B12, niacin, selenium and magnesium. Omega-3s are thought to aid in everything from reducing inflammation and risk of blood clots, to slowing down the progress of cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer's. According to an article we found on Livestrong.com, wild salmon is considered to be a better option to farmed, as farmed salmon contains greater levels of contaminating polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS). So, if you're fishing for some healthy protein options, try wild salmon grilled on the barbecue. — Theresa Tayler, Calgary HeraldChris Jackson / Getty ImagesGreens Kale and other leafy greens like spinach have been shown to protect against some cancers. Research also shows they reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis. Finally, eat kale and other leafy greens to keep your mind sharp and ward off cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Ways to use it: - Remove the tough ribs and cut kale leaves into strips and stir theme into any soup. White bean, sausage and kale soup is a classic. - Stir-fry chopped kale with olive oil, a bit of minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. - Shred young, tender kale and toss it with toasted pine nuts, raisins, feta and a basic vinaigrette punched up with Dijon mustard and a bit of maple syrup. — Valerie Berenyi, Calgary HeraldThinkstock / canada.comNuts Nuts. Whether it be almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts or chestnuts, these raw varieties provide great benefits to our health. Although some are healthier than others, these four are high in fibre, which helps lower cholesterol, rich in omega-3 fatty acids to prevent heart disease, and contain plant nutrients (phytonutrients) with vitamin E and selenium that act as an antioxidant. Dietitian approved, nuts are affordable, a great source of protein, and act as a great snack on their own or combined with granola. It's important, though, to stay within the adequate intake of one or two ounces of unsalted nuts per day, as they're high in calories — a one ounce (30 g) serving adds up to 160 to 200 calories. So remember, six almonds can give you the boost of energy you need to through that mid-after afternoon slump, not 60. — Kathryn Shimbashi, Calgary HeraldPhotos.com / canada.comChocolate! That bar of chocolate you keep in a desk drawer or kitchen cupboard can do more than just satisfy a sweet tooth. It may also reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease, while also lowering blood pressure. Results from a recent study put together by the British medical journal BMJ showed participants consuming the highest levels of chocolate decreased the risk of those conditions — up to 37 per cent for cardiovascular disease and 29 per cent for stroke. And that's certainly a tastier pill to swallow than prescribed medications. So, bolster that chocolate stash (within reason, of course), your heart — and sweet tooth — will thank you. — Gwendolyn Richards, Calgary HeraldJoe Raedle / Getty ImagesShareAdjustCommentPrint xShareSuperfood savvy: Five fantastic foods Email Twitter Facebook Pinterest Google Linkedin

We tested 37 activewear garments that make sweat-management claims (such as "moisture-wicking"), using an absorbency tester.
How It Works:
We release a droplet of water onto the fabric. If it soaks in and spreads quickly, it's a sign that clothing will dissipate sweat well, so it passes; if water sits on top of the fabric and isn't absorbed, the activewear fails.
The Results:
We found five garments flat-out flunked. Water just beaded up on the nylon-poly Lululemon Swiftly Tech SS T-shirt ($58), the cotton-poly Athleta Teelicious Deep V Tee ($36), Everlast's nylon-spandex Capri-Length Sweat Pants ($32) and nylon-poly-spandex Seamless Tank Top ($30), and the poly-spandex back panel and inseam of REI Venturi Short ($59.50). Another poor absorber: the nylon-spandex Jockey Sport Performance Workout Crop Pant ($55). Wear any of these while working out, and you'll likely end up feeling sweaty and soggy.
Our Recommendations:
Bring along a water bottle when shopping so you can discreetly squeeze a droplet of water onto a garment you want to purchase — if it beads up, take a pass. (Or, buy the item and do this at home, then return if it doesn't absorb.)When trying on fitness clothing, move around (walk, do jumping jacks, try out a yoga pose, etc.) to be sure the fit isn't too snug and the seams won't chafe.
These garments absorbed water and spread it quickly in our moisture tests. The water also evaporated rapidly, which will help keep you cool and dry. These are definitely the workout clothes to look for to keep you cool and comfy for everything from minor to strenuous workouts like running, aerobics, and hot yoga.
- Moving Comfort Talent Tank ($32)
- REI Cap Sleeve Venturi T-shirt ($44.50)
- Marika Tek Short Sleeve Dry Wik Tee ($20)
- Callaway Women's Snap Polo ($56)
- Kohl's Tek Gear Geometric Performance Tee ($22)
- Champion Double Dry Training V-neck Women's T-shirt ($22)
- Reebok Easy Tone Short Sleeve Top ($55)
- Nike Dri-Fit Cotton Tee ($25)
- Jockey Active Crop Pant ($55)
- C9 by Champion for Target Running Tank ($10)
- Jockey Seamless Tank Top ($32)
As our tests showed, these won't wick or evaporate as speedily as those above. Some took forever to absorb liquid in our tests, while others kept it concentrated in certain areas or were slow to dry out. While we recommend looking for better sweat-wicking fabrics, these will still do if you're a light sweater or are engaged in less strenuous activities like walking or a casual bike ride.
- OR Expressa Skort ($55)
- Jockey Tech Terry Judo Legging ($32)
- C9 by Champion for Target Running Short ($15)
- New Balance Wrap Around Skirt ($50)
- Champion Double Dry Fitted 17" Women's Absolute Workout Knee Tights ($30)
- Champion Double Dry Semi-Fitted 23" Women's Absolute Workout Capri ($34)
- Old Navy Compression Bermuda ($20)
- Old Navy Compression Capri ($20)
- Lululemon Groove Pant ($98)
- OR Echo Tee ($35)
While these didn't fail our moisture-management test, they didn't do all that well, either. Likely they were able to accomplish one task — either absorbing, spreading, or evaporating water — but weren't successful at completely wicking away moisture. We can't recommend these fabrics for workouts, though they may be fine to wear if you're doing an activity where you won't be sweating.
- New Balance Icefil Short Sleeve ($32)
- Moving Comfort Work it Out Short ($36)
- Nike DriFit Loose Pant ($60)
- Reebok Play Dry Fitness Pant ($40)
- Moving Comfort Split Skort ($46)
- Moving Comfort Momentum Short ($36)
- Athleta Kickbooty Capri ($54)
- Old Navy Running Tank ($14.50)
- Old Navy Running Short ($15)
- Old Navy Molded Tank ($14.50)

NetApp and Fujitsu set up one-stop-shop after dedupe deal
Partners say they're a 'one-stop shop' - but only in EMEA
Fujitsu and NetApp have extended a reseller partnership, marking the effective end of the Japanese firm's EMC storage hardware relationship.
NetApp will now resell Fujitsu's CS800 S2 Data Protection Appliance, but only in 22 EMEA countries, while Fujitsu will spread its NetApp resales to more countries around the globe.
Fujitsu says maintenance and support services as well as managed services across the NetApp/Fujitsu portfolio will continue to be supplied by Fujitsu, which is, it says, the third-largest global IT services company. Apparently the relationship between Fujitsu and EMC for storage hardware has effectively finished, with Fujitsu saying it and NetApp provide a "one-stop shop" for integrated storage systems.
The ETERNUS CS800 S2, to use its full name, is a turnkey deduplication box with deduplicated data replicable to remote CS800s. We understand it uses Quantum's DXi deduplication technology, which has just had a good boost in speed. The CS is a development of the old Fujitsu Siemens Computers CentricStor VTL (virtual tape library).
NetApp recently tried to buy Data Domain, the world's leading data deduplication product suppler, but EMC grabbed it first. After that, NetApp abandoned further development of its NearStore VTL product.
It is curious that NetApp is only reselling the C800 S2 in Europe and not taking it worldwide, but perhaps it wants to proceed cautiously. Rick Scurfield, NetApp's VP and general manager of Global System Partners, said. "The partnership between NetApp and Fujitsu [is] ... designed to ... help customers accelerate the move to a more integrated and flexible shared IT infrastructure."
That doesn't tell us much, other than that NetApp's new mantra is a flexible shared IT infrastructure.
To date, Fujitsu has sold over 15,000 NetApp storage systems. Fujitsu's ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser and ServerView Resource Orchestrator now both support NetApp storage. ®
