Six RIP companies address trends in workflow, scalability, the Cloud, integration with other tools, and much more.
When it comes to RIPs and workflow, you have many, many choices. And while it's certainly helpful in considering any shop tool or supply to drill down into its specs and specific features, it's also critical to look at how that tool's use might be changing.
We asked several RIP companies – Caldera, GMG, Onyx, SAi, Wasatch, and Xitron – to address a variety of RIP and workflow trends we've spotted across the marketplace. Here's what they had to say. (And if you're looking for detailed specs on third-party RIP solutions for your shop, check out our RIP charts in our digital edition, featuring data on more than 50 RIP and workflow solutions.)
Q: These days, there's RIP software and then there's workflow software – how do the two differ? Or do they?
Xitron: They do. The easiest way to think about this is that a RIP is going to interpret PostScript or PDF and rasterize the data for output. A workflow, on the other hand, may do several different things to the file – either before or after the rasterization process. For example, a workflow may contain modules for preflighting, ink re-mapping, imposition, proofing, or output distribution in a semi- or fully-automated way, carrying the job through the prepress department.
Onyx: RIP software is ideal for smaller print service providers new to the printing industry, because it offers the basic tools needed to prepare images for production printing and finishing. As a print shop grows, however, it will begin to encounter challenges that a single-station RIP solution simply cannot address – such as having consistent, predictable output across all of its devices. Workflow software builds upon the strengths of RIP software by adding the ability to scale production as a business grows and providing tools for improving the overall production process. Additionally, workflow software provides greater predictability through a consistent solution across all of a shop's print and finishing equipment.
SAi: The biggest difference between the two is scalability. True RIP workflow solutions are like "print factories" that spread the production steps across multiple computers, with central color management and job routing to many printers and cutters. RIP software does everything from job preparation, color management, print, and cutting on a single computer system. Small to medium print providers with fewer than three printers and cutters find this to be the most efficient and cost-effective.

Local soil scientist headed for Afghanistan
BRATTLEBORO -- After more than three decades, Drew Adam is winding down his career as a Natural Resources Conservation Service soil scientist in Brattleboro.
But he won't be spending his last year on the job in his Vernon street office. Instead, he'll be working under military guard in Afghanistan's Logar Province.
It will be Adam's second stint in that war-torn country. His first Afghanistan detail went so well that he is looking forward to returning in a few weeks in spite of the risks.
"I was amazed by how much we could get done and by how satisfying it was," Adam said.
As an employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Adam, 60, has served short stints in Maine, Florida and California. When he learned of an opportunity to go to Afghanistan in 2004, he jumped at the chance -- after a few initial misgivings.
"It was one of those things where I thought, 'This is crazy,'" Adam recalled. "The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it."
After getting through what he calls a "pretty thorough vetting process," Adam spent six months in 2005 as an agricultural adviser in Parwan Province, north of Kabul.
Now, he's looking forward to ending his career with another stint in Afghanistan. He expects to retire from the USDA when he returns home in December 2013.
Adam says he knew "the clock was ticking" for such a trip, given that the U.S. is scaling back its Afghanistan presence and will withdraw combat troops by the end of 2014.
"We may be the last group of civilians to go over there en masse," he said.
This detail will be twice as long as Adam's first in Afghanistan. And there are other differences: For instance, he underwent just two days of training before the 2005 trip compared with six weeks spent preparing this time.
Adam also believes that "in 2005, it was a safer time in Afghanistan than it is in 2012 or 2013." He has been told that mortar attacks are fairly common at the base where he'll be stationed in Logar Province, situated south of Kabul.
In 2005, "I never wore any kind of protection," Adam said. "This time around, I'll probably be required to wear a flak jacket and a helmet."
But he knows from experience that soldiers escorting civilians are sticklers for detail and for extreme caution. Missions outside the base must be planned a day or two in advance, and he'll be traveling in armored vehicles and helicopters.
"I am totally convinced that, if there's any expectation that there could be something that could go wrong on the next mission, they'll cancel it," Adam said.
Still, he acknowledges that "there's always a risk that there's something that could go wrong." The trip is worth that risk, Adam said, because of the potential benefits for a country where there is a great need for enhanced agricultural production.
"Eighty percent of the Afghan population are farmers," Adam said. "But it's a country that's been decimated by 40 years of war. There's a lot of historical knowledge that's been lost. A lot of men have been lost."
Adam expects to work mainly with his Afghan counterparts -- extension agents and agriculture directors -- on agricultural and natural-resource issues.
For instance, he notes that Logar is known for apple production, and there is a push to develop cold storage for the crop in an area where electric refrigeration is not an option.
"In Afghanistan, when you go outside the cities, there's no electricity. There's no running water," Adam said. "It's like going back in time."
Creating cold storage such as a root cellar can benefit farmers who currently are stuck with a glut of in-season crops, Adam said.
"If you can extend the life of a product for a couple of months, you're going to double the value of that product," he said.
At the same time, Adam has been advised that this trip will be all about Afghanistan's transition. So he'll also be addressing bureaucratic matters such as ways local governments can procure funding through Afghanistan's national government rather than directly from the U.S.
"This is a transition year," Adam said. "Somebody has got to help them understand the new budgeting process that is happening."
Adam will head to Afghanistan in the first week of December. He'll do so with the blessing of his wife and three grown children, whom he characterizes as concerned but understanding.
"They've all been supportive of me, which is great," Adam said. "I never would have attempted this without their consent."

I'm loving this exclusive new beauty series on Net-a-Porter's The Edit from celebrity makeup artist Kay Montano and gorgeous actress Thandie Newton. Since Sunday was International Women's Day, what better way to celebrate it than with a couple of the coolest feminists I know?
Net-a-Porter is obviously the most gorgeous fashion site on the internet, and The Edit is their online weekly fashion magazine. (Can we also please talk about the ridiculously amazing Porter magazine for a moment? It's currently the most beautiful fashion magazine in the world, to my mind. It's the only magazine I buy in hard physical form anymore, as all my regular subscriptions I now buy on the iPad. My bookshelves are positively groaning under the weight of ancient Numeros and Paris Vogues, and there came a time when I had to go digital. Possibly the time when my husband said he would divorce me if he had to move five massive bookshelves full of magazines again? It might have been around then.) There's just something about Porter magazine – every shoot and every page is consistently so beautiful that I just can't resist it. But I digress!
Kay Montano and Thandie Newton are not only close friends, they have worked together for many years and Kay has been responsible for many of Thandie's greatest makeup hits on the red carpet over the years. Thandie is no slouch in the makeup department when left Kay-less however, busting out a gorgeous prune smoky eye on her own for the Oscars a couple of weeks ago. So between them, what they don't know about makeup basically isn't worth knowing. They have made a new series of films for Net-a Porter's The Edit to demystify and reveal the truth about creating beauty perfection.
From assisting Kay I know both of them well enough to say that I can't think of two better women to empower you through makeup – brilliantly intelligent, erudite, funny, and they really do believe in female empowerment, whether it's through makeup or loftier ways.
Since they know as much about concealer as Stephen Hawking knows about particle acceleration (although not sure how they'd feel about being called 'The Stephen Hawkings of makeup'?) they can seriously teach you a thing or two. Plus it's a great excuse to log onto Net-a-Porter's beauty section and see what's new. You know you're always going to find some tasty beauty treats when they have brands like Hourglass, Chantecaille, RMS Beauty, Charlotte Tilbury, Ellis Faas and now Illamasqua on their beauty roster.
You must also check out Thandie and Kay's brilliant blog, Thandiekay.com. This week's post is a look at the current increase in diversity on the catwalk and the best beauty read I've had in awhile.

A foot injury has forced Robert Peralta out of next month's UFC on FX 2 event.
His manager, Jeff Clark, today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the fighter appears to have broken some toes during a recent aining session.
Peralta (15-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was scheduled to rematch fellow featherweight Mackens Semerzier (6-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at the event, which takes place in Australia.
UFC officials haven't formally announced the scratch, though with a month's notice, a replacement likely will be sought.
UFC on FX 2 takes place March 3 at Allphones Arena in Sydney and airs live in the U.S. on March 2 due to the time difference. The event's main card airs live on FX while preliminary-card fights, including the above matchup, are slated for FUEL TV.
Peralta and Semerzier, of course, first met at November's UFC on FOX 1 event. Peralta was initially awarded a TKO victory when his head struck Semerzier in the temple. The clash was tough to see in live action, and it wasn't until well after the bout that referee "Big" John McCarthy realized the headbutt (and not punches) prompted the knockout.
If the foul had been caught, the bout likely would have gone to the judges' scorecards since fights that end as the result of an accidental foul are judged based on the preceding rounds. Instead, it was ruled a TKO win for Peralta but later overturned by the California State Athletic Commission to a no-contest.
The latest UFC on FX 2 card now includes:
- Thiago Alves vs. Martin Kampmann
- Joseph Benavidez vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani (flyweight-tourney semifinal)
- Demetrious Johnson vs.
Ian McCall (flyweight-tourney semifinal)
- Court McGee vs. Constantinos Philippou
- Aaron Rosa vs. James Te Huna
- Nick Penner vs. Anthony Perosh
- Cole Miller vs. Steven Siler
- Andrew Craig vs. Kyle Noke
- Jake Hecht vs. T.J. Waldburger
- Mackens Semerzier vs. TBA
- Shawn Jordan vs. Oli Thompson

He needs to see a specialist and then get surgery. we need to raise donations so that we can pay for this."
Money can be donated for the surgery through the Youcaring.com fundraising site. About $4,ooo needs to be raised, and the site has raised almost $700 so far.
Sondra Arrache of Save the Pets reports that Cassidy is at Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates and the group has enough for Cassideny's surgery.

Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter arrived at the Crew nearly a month ago, and already he has placed a major imprint on the club's vision moving forward. Berhalter recently sat down with Abernathy Miller from Columbus Alive! to talk about how he is getting along in Columbus so far.
MLS Cup 2013 is tomorrow in Kansas City, where Sporting KC will host Real Salt Lake in the League's first-ever small market Final. Ahead of the big game, MLS Commissioner Don Garber sat down with Sports Illustrated's Brian Straus for a Q&A that extended on Tuesday's State of the League address. Topics discussed include the small-market final, expansion and New York City FC.
Saturday's match will feature a budding rivalry in Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake. Recent meetings between the two teams have been physical, and all indications are that this one will be no exception. John Eligon from the New York Times discusses the match-up and the history between these two rivals from opposing conferences.

Fear, stubbornness, ignorance, procrastination, resignation – for singles or couples longing for love, these are among the deadly sins, according to relationship expert Ernest Quansah.
"These are the psychological traits which singles and many couples use as excuses," says Quansah, author of Do's and Don'ts of Relationships: Nine Steps to a Deeper, Richer Love Relationship, 2nd edition.
"I hear it all the time; singles or married couples say they're not rich enough, or they need to lose weight, or they just don't think they'll find what they want. But I say nothing is perfect, and if you think that you'll only be good enough when you've lost five pounds, or have a nice car or a bigger house, then you will never be 'good enough.'"
Just as people need a plan in order to give themselves a chance with other New Year's resolutions, such as weight loss or a career move, so too is the case with finding permanent love. Quansah says singles and couples need to answer six questions while pursuing love and true happiness:
• What is my goal? For each question, jot down what you are really looking for. Are you looking for a lifelong partner, just a date on Valentine's Day, or for your marriage to work?
• What am I doing to achieve my goal? Striking a balance is important. Doing too much, like spending a lot of money on a new look or being too negative, can be relationship killers because they are not permanent solutions and this makes achieving your goal difficult. If you're act like yourself, you'll be more comfortable and self-confident – and those are attractive qualities!
• What might prevent me from achieving my goal? Fault finding in potential love interest or in a marriage, for example, can hinder the flow of success.
• What methods have not worked for me? Mistakes are to be expected – nobody's perfect. But they should only be acceptable as long as you've learned something from them. Look back and do a review. If you have approached dating or relationship success in ways that keep failing, it is time to change!
• What methods have worked for me? Everybody has qualities that make them good at some things and not so great in other areas. Focus on your strengths; if you have used methods that brought you success in dating or in your marriage, you should use those methods because they will yield result. But do not be afraid to test the waters with new ideas.
• What will it feel like when I succeed? If you cannot envision the taste of success, you may be less motivated to go the extra mile for true love. Think about how nice it would feel to have meaningful companionship, bring someone home to meet the family, and maybe even start a family of your own.

Why didnt Douglas inform amare that Kobe was runnin up behind him?
Gasol will make Amare look softer then he did last night
With Bynum out, Gasol will player center you dumbass
Why didnt Douglas inform amare that Kobe was runnin up behind him?
Amare think he a guard or some **** apparently...

How about running the pick n roll with carmelo and amare once in a while?
Now that was my favorite play of the night. Casual in-bound to Chandler, casual pass to Balkman, Balkman with a brick from 18-feet. That is championship caliber stuff right there.
i hate isolation basketball.....this is a team ****ing game.....im gonna smoke a joint

Even the announcers said "what kind of basketball is this? LOL It's Antoni ball! Just pass the ball around the 3 pt line until the shot clock runs out and chuck it up. What a gameplan!
Damn Reggie just questioned what brand of basketball the Knicks are playing. How can dantoni not even be up out of his seat yelling???
Real Talk
This is a ****in nightmare! If it wasnt for the refs and David Stern making this game close with ticky tack calls on the Lakers, we would be losing by 40.

Which 20 prospects stood out in AFL play?
Harper, Ackley, Montgomery top list of standouts in fall action
By Jonathan Mayo / MLB.com
But just how good is this crop of talent? Scouts will always have differing opinions, and this year is no different. Some love the AFL Class of 2010; others feel it was a down year, particularly when compared to last year's group.
The following top 20 is a compilation, taken from conversations with scouts who followed the Fall League closely this season. Anyone who participated in the league was eligible for the list, even if they technically are no longer prospects (having lost rookie eligibility). Several factors were included in determining the final order, with an eye toward combining the prospect's status and upside with his performance in the league this fall.
1. Bryce Harper, OF, Washington Nationals: Playing just twice a week, the No. 1 pick from the 2010 Draft made quite an impression, creating a buzz with his plus-plus power, his plus arm in right field and his surprisingly strong running skills.
2. Dustin Ackley, 2B, Seattle Mariners: For a guy who looked lost at the beginning of the Major League season, Ackley seemed to have it all figured out in the AFL, as he led the league in a host of offensive categories.
3. Mike Montgomery, LHP, Kansas City Royals: Montgomery threw just three regular outings -- two good, one awful -- but he also started the Rising Stars Game and continued to show the stuff that has made him perhaps the top left-handed pitching prospect in baseball.
4. Manny Banuelos, LHP, New York Yankees: Banuelos also started the Rising Stars Game, creating quite a buzz and impressing scouts with his now-plus fastball and outstanding changeup.
5. Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants: Perhaps no hitting prospect raised his profile more during the 2010 season than Belt, and he kept it going during the Fall League, with many observers convinced he has the chance to soon be a very good everyday first baseman in the big leagues.
6. Eric Hosmer, 1B, Kansas City Royals: After a long, breakout season that included a stint with Team USA, 2008 first-rounder Hosmer ran out of gas a bit during AFL play, though he did finish the fall season with a three-hit game. Scouts still loved his approach and his swing at the plate.
7. Jeremy Jeffress, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers: An abundance of power arms was a strength of this AFL crop, and Jeffress was the best of the bunch, hitting triple-digits often, even in the Rising Stars Game. Command's still an issue, but he's got "future closer" written all over him.
8. Ben Revere, OF, Minnesota Twins: After taking part in the Futures Game and making his Major League debut in 2010, Revere continued to make his case as a future leadoff hitter in the AFL, showing off his plus speed (13-for-13 in steals), good reads in center and improved discipline at the plate.
9. Casey Kelly, RHP, Boston Red Sox: Kelly's AFL stint was brief -- 16 innings over four outings and 16 innings -- but as with his regular season, scouts looked past the less-than-stellar numbers and came away very impressed by the young right-handers's stuff.
10. Jose Iglesias, SS, Boston Red Sox: How many players are worth the price of admission just to watch them play defense? Iglesias has Gold Gloves in his future, and he's far from a zero with the bat.
11. Derek Norris, C, Washington Nationals: Norris rebounded from an injury-interrupted season and continued to show excellent on-base skills, along with some pop. He still needs work on receiving, but his plus arm allowed him to throw out better than 46 percent of would-be basestealers this fall.
12. Charlie Culberson, 2B, San Francisco Giants: Some scouts are still dubious, wanting to see him perform again in 2011 after two so-so years in the South Atlantic League and one good season in the California League. Still, Culberson more than held his own against advanced competition in AFL play, and some scouts really believe in his bat.
13. Sammy Solis, LHP, Washington Nationals: The 2010 second-rounder was making his professional debut, more or less, in the AFL (having thrown just four innings in the South Atlantic League), and scouts came away impressed with his size, stuff and command. It wasn't much of a surprise that he was chosen to start the championship game for Scottsdale.
14. Chris Carpenter, RHP, Chicago Cubs: Carpenter's overall results weren't great, but keep in mind he had thrown 134 2/3 innings during the season. Another of the large crop of impressive power arms, he reached triple-digits in the Rising Stars Game.
15. Rex Brothers, LHP, Colorado Rockies: Brothers is yet another power pitcher, but he throws from the left side. With a fastball up to 95 mph and an above-average breaking ball, some improvement in his command could have him ready for the back end of a big-league bullpen soon. Think Mike Stanton (the reliever, not the outfielder).
16. Danny Duffy, LHP, Kansas City Royals: It has been a roller-coaster year for Duffy, but the ability is still definitely there. He was surprisingly hittable in the spring, but the lefty still got plenty of swings-and-misses, and scouts graded his stuff highly.
17. Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians: All Kipnis does is hit. He had success at the plate at two levels during the regular season, and then a third -- Triple-A -- in the playoffs. After a slow start in Arizona, he came on strong with six consecutive multi-hit games to bring his numbers up. He's still a work in progress at second, but most think he'll get there.
18. Devin Mesoraco, C, Cincinnati Reds: There was some debate over which backstop had more upside, Norris or Mesoraco, with some convinced the Reds prospect has a better chance to be an everyday, all-around catcher in the big leagues. That said, he didn't perform as well on either side of the ball -- hitting or throwing -- this fall, though it was an admittedly small sample size.
19. Marc Rzepczynski, LHP, Toronto Blue Jays: Technically, Rzepczynski is no longer a prospect because of the 63 2/3 innings he pitched in the big leagues this year, but it was impossible to look past the lefty who topped the AFL in ERA (1.16), was fourth in strikeouts and held hitters to a .214 average.
20. Eduardo Escobar, SS, Chicago White Sox: Escobar's a bit of a sleeper pick to finish off the list, but he is an off-the-radar type who definitely helped himself with strong Fall League play. A plus defender who can flat-out run, he showed some facility with the bat that could mean the White Sox have an intriguing shortstop prospect on their hands.

I follow the first part, but not the second. Damian's not a (professionally trained) linguist. Larry and Allison are. (Me, I'm a professionally trained crank who types fast.)
Write inflammatory things on the Internet. Be right at least half of the time. Get paid for it.
Even so, that leaves two out of three things right in my post, which is markedly better than half!
You're a journalist?
If you want to get really technical about it, yes. Press releases are the price you pay for press passes.
I wasn't getting technical about anything. You said you're a trained crank; to me that means you're a journalist.

I finally tracked down a discount code for that sports-rope necklace site TitaniumTwisters.com ! I know various members were searching for this, so I thought I'd share. They have a 25% discount code "SANTA" that they are using on their website until the end of December. This is perfect for Christmas, as I can get on their site and customize those sports rope necklaces in team colors for people. I think they are up to around 50 colors of rope now. You pick the colors, they assemble and mail it out within a few days. They are a small US company, so I thought we could spread the word for them. Here�s one I just designed on their website:

Tag: road trip
January 18, 2013
I'm leaving for my annual Death Valley trip in the morning. I'm going for two weeks this year, a little longer than most because I'm also hopping over to L.A. to attend the Auschwitz Liberation Day remembrance at the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance.
What will I do for two weeks?
The first thing I'm going to do is enjoy being alone with my thoughts.
My goal is to clear my head of all the day to day clutter that keeps me preoccupied with relatively unimportant stuff.
I hope to continue on my quest to "see differently." Not differently from everyone else, but differently from myself.
Would I love to come home with a dozen of good images? Yes, but I'd rather come home with a single great one.
One that I am in love with.
One that I am proud of.
That's not too much to hope for, is it?

Arctic Report Card 2012
The 2012 Arctic Report Card is an annual description of the state of the Arctic that is sponsored by NOAA. The first Arctic Report Card was published in in 2006. Nearly 150 scientists from 15 countries contributed to this year's report. A major finding of the Report Card 2012 is that numerous record-setting melting events occurred, even though, with the exception of a few limited episodes, Arctic-wide it was an unremarkable year, relative to the previous decade, for a primary driver of melting - surface air temperatures. From October 2011 through August 2012, positive (warm) temperature anomalies were relatively small over the central Arctic compared to conditions in recent years (2003-2010). Yet, in spite of these relatively moderate conditions, new records were set for sea ice extent, terrestrial snow extent, melting at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet, and permafrost temperature.
The Arctic is a polar region located at the northern-most part of the Earth. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, the United States (Alaska), Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. The Arctic region consists of a vast, ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The area can be defined as being north of the Arctic Circle, the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night.
Large changes are affecting Arctic climate and ecosystems, and, combined, these changes provide strong evidence of the overall momentum that has developed in the Arctic environmental system due to the impacts of a persistent warming trend that began over 30 years ago. A major source of this momentum is the fact that changes in the sea ice cover, snow cover, glaciers and Greenland ice sheet all conspire to reduce the overall surface reflectivity of the region in the summer, when the sun is ever-present. In other words, bright, white surfaces that reflect summer sunlight are being replaced by darker surfaces, e.g., ocean and land, which absorb sunlight.
These conditions increase the capacity to store heat within the Arctic system, which enables more melting - a positive feedback. Thus, we arrive at the conclusion that it is very likely that major changes will continue to occur in the Arctic in years to come, particularly in the face of projections that indicate continued global warming.
A second key point in Report Card 2012 is that changes in the Arctic marine environment are affecting the terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
During 2012, a number of record or near-record events occurred in relation to the Arctic terrestrial snow cover. Snow cover duration was the second shortest on record and new minimums were set for snow cover extent in May over Eurasia and in June (when snow still covers most of the Arctic region) over the Northern Hemisphere.
On land, new record high temperatures were measured at most permafrost observatories on the North Slope of Alaska and in the Brooks Range, Alaska, where measurements began in the late 1970s.
In Greenland, surface melting on the ice sheet set new records, with melting in some locations lasting up to ~2 months longer than the average (1979-2011) and melting being detected by satellite instruments over ~97 % of the surface in July.
Sea ice extent in September 2012 reached the lowest observed in the satellite record (1979-present), with a related continued decline in the extent of thick multi-year ice that forms in the central Arctic Basin. This record was set despite a relatively high maximum sea-ice extent in March 2012, which was due to extensive ice in the Bering Sea.
March to September 2012 showed the largest seasonal decline in sea ice between the maximum and minimum extents during the satellite record. August 2012 was a period of exceptionally rapid ice loss, with accelerated decline during an intense storm in early August in the East Siberian and Chukchi seas.
Observations of the Arctic marine ecosystem provide evidence of the impacts on the abundance and composition of phytoplankton communities. For instance, new satellite remote sensing observations show ice-edge blooms throughout the Arctic and the importance of seasonal sea ice variability in regulating primary production.
Changes in the terrestrial ecosystem are shown by vegetation and mammals. The tundra continues to become more green and in some locations above-ground plant biomass has increased by as much as 26% since 1982. The length of the growing season increased throughout much of the Arctic, e.g., by ~30 days in Eurasia, between 2000 and 2010.
In Europe, the Arctic fox population has declined to near extinction due to failure to recover from over-harvesting at the start of the 20th Century and the recent absence of lemming peaks populations. In contrast, the Arctic fox is abundant in North America. However, in both regions, the larger Red fox has been expanding northwards.

Just made it back from the Pavillon de la Jeunesse, I noticed the ISU site hasn't published the list of the judges yet for the Men's. For those interested, the countries represented were CAN, USA, JPN, RUS, CHN, FRA, ESP, UKR, CZE.
Hanyu is the only skater among this group that I hadn't seen in a competition yet. My assessment of him has changed - for the better. That's why it's hard to judge from a computer screen. I thought he was very expressive for his age and his basic skating skills are quite respectable, as well as his power. Although his skating style is not effeminate, he looks like a girl and can seriously be mistaken for one, from the way he grooms to what he wears. Now, before I get jumped on this - this is just my observation, I don't mean anything by it.
Fernandez certainly has the flair and the showmanship. In my opinion, what he really needs to focus on now is to improve his SS. He is definitely slower than the rest of the pack and he doesn't get a lot of height on his jumps. His ice coverage comes across as a little laborious even though he does have some good content in there. I like to see him lighter on his feet.
Brezina is just off today. He came in a little late this afternoon, right after the ladies SP, looking a litte lost. Even his only clean jump tonight, the 3A, was off as well - he was lucky that wasn't called a <. I felt he was on the right track last year, this year, I am not so sure. I get this impression he is becoming a little stagnant this point and may benefit from a coaching change.
Abbott had the performance of the night. He was engaging and interactive. A near flawless skate except the poor landing on the 3F. Otherwise, he really sold that program. Now, the question to ask is why is his PCS behind Patrick Chan? Whereas PE, CH an IN are all debatable, SS and TR are hands down in favor of Chan. Abbott is a fine skater with really smooth edges and respectable power in his stroking though Chan is just out of this world on the blades, you have to see it in person to believe it. I lost count how many times I have seen Patrick Chan skating in competitions but he never ceases to amaze me, even today, I was still impressed by his speed - probably could give Speedy a good challenge.
Takahashi was messy tonight. It felt like the mistakes on jumps really distracted him. He again benefited from the design of CoP with the Technical Panel assigning the +combo designation to the jump that would produce a smaller negative GOE although it has to be noted, 1 judge out of 9 still made the mistake of giving a -2. When the +combo sign was noted in the SP, it's a mandatory -3 no if or but. This is such a juniorish error, it's hard to believe this would happen at this level (where only judges with ISU designation are allowed at this competition, not just mere International level). On the 4T, to me even without the +combo designation, that's a -3 as well but only 4 judges chose to punish him accordingly. The Quad was clearly UR and then landed on two feet, even a generous grading, which would -1 (for UR) + -2 (for two feet landing) would equal -3, so again, Takahashi definitely got some help or he could be 6th right now.
Chan's bumping with the board, then fell was a good example to illustrate why not all falls are equal in the minds of judges. The judges could see that the combo was completed and fully rotated before he accidentally hit the board. He otherwise would have no trouble holding on to the 3T. So in effect, the error was regarded as no fault of his own, hence a majority of judges gave -1 and -2 instead of -3. Personally, this is one of the rare situations that I would give a fall anything but a -3, so I feel a -2 would be justified in this case although I could understand why a few feel -1 is also justifiable. Now, regarding Chan's performance, he skated it very well technically but I felt he looked a little distracted and not as engaging as he normally were. Understandably, the recent controversy engineered by a Reuters journalist has petrified him in my opinion. I was amazed he could retain his focus. Chan actually had a really awkward fall on a pop 2T during the warm up, which prompted his coach to tell him to relax and tone it down. He managed to regain his composure after that and practiced really well. Hopefully, with the SP out of the way, he can be a little more relax and stop worrying about that media buhaha/trap in news lately.
P.S. Scott Davis, the Tech Specialist, got a loud cheer when his name was announced. Many still remember him I guess, don't know how many people here still do; I enjoyed his style of skating when he was competing.
Thank you Wally for an in person expert report and opinions.
eta. I was actually surprised and find it harsh to see four -3 for Patrick's quad combo because it was beautifully executed and landed before the board took him down, and there is already a -1 fall deduction.
Last edited by Violet Bliss; 12-10-2011 at 01:10 AM.
I hope Chan hit the board tonight won't affect him tomorrow. Sometimes mentally, you'd try to be more cautious and tense.
Oh, I forgot to mention, nice to see he cut his hair, lol.
Scott Davis is also beloved in Canada b/c he coached Vaughn Chipeur. I believe his coaching base was in Canada for several years.

Press Release – Rail And Maritime Transport Union
The Rail and Maritime Transport Union is disappointed that the Auditor General will not probe KiwiRails handling of its contracting out of wagons and locomotives to China CNR Corporation.Media release: Rail & Maritime Transport Union
Friday February 8, 2013.
KiwiRail Auditor General investigation would have been beneficial
The Rail and Maritime Transport Union is disappointed that the Auditor General will not probe KiwiRail's handling of its contracting out of wagons and locomotives to China CNR Corporation.
The Auditor General has today said [1] it will not launch a formal inquiry into purchases of rolling stock from China CNR by KiwiRail, following a request last year from Dunedin South MP Clare Curran.
Wayne Butson, RMTU General Secretary, said that an inquiry would have been beneficial.
"The Auditor General has noted the reason it was not investigating the matter was because the decisions were made for normal business and commercial reasons."
"But KiwiRail is not a normal commercial business. It is owned by the public of New Zealand, and should operate in New Zealand's best interests."
"KiwiRail needed to meet its obligations as an SOE to consider the wider social impact of its decisions to send train construction overseas, and the subsequent closure of Hillside workshops in Dunedin with the loss of 90 jobs."
"We don't believe it did, and would have welcomed the Auditor General assessing this."
Wayne Butson said one of the reasons why New Zealand is facing a jobs crisis is because the government was taking no lead on procurement, and rail manufacturing was a classic example.
"KiwiRail needed to take a whole-of-life view of procurement, not just upfront costs."
"But it needed a stronger steer from its shareholder, the government, also. John Key's government has shown no interest whatsoever in using its significant purchasing power to support Kiwi jobs."
"Steven Joyce said today that the answer to jobs was more foreign investment. Why would foreigners invest when the New Zealand government is not prepared to invest in New Zealand manufacturing," Wayne Butson said.

I am home and trying to get some rest - much needed I will say - Mom is not doing good! She was doing very well and then I was so sick on Monday I couldn't go and she got confused and they gave her a drug called Ativan - i was there yesterday and her mind was gone - I worked and worked with her - shed many tears and finally she knew who I was - I asked them not to give her the drug again and was assured they wouldn't - so today I arrived and she was back in that same state - she even bit one of the nurses... I asked to speak to the head nurse or her doctor - he has been no where to be found when I am there... Mom had absolutely no idea who I was again... her partial bridge and her ring had been taken off but no one knew by who - I can not put the bridge back in although she wanted it in - and she was unable to get her hands to work properly to do it... luckily I guess the two things just didn't get lost - I put her ring back on her and will take tape tomorrow to put on her finger with the words do not remove on them...
Anyway, the nurse finally came and told me that they had twice given her Ativan since I had asked them not to - she was agitated last night so they gave it to her then - I asked why they hadn't called me and the nurse told me well if you will stay here then she will have someone here but we can't do that - so I asked why they couldn't since I had been told that they could and that it was literally impossible for me to be there 24/7 to help them out that although I would like to be that physically that is an impossibility - we went round and round...finally I think she understtod that I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and unless they want to hospitalize me in the next room that I am no help to them except to calm her down when she gets agitated... so again they have told me they will call me if she gets upset - I told them I am 5 minutes away and that they should be able to hold off that long in giving her the medication - they asked what happens if it is 3 a.m. - I said you have my number...
My Bishop from my church is a nurse at the hospital and he became aware today that my Mom is there and came to see me - everything seemed to change after he was there - they are moving my Mother to a room right across from the nurses station so they can get to her faster if need be...
I am literally exhausted - my body really can not take being there right now - i am not fully recovered from the RA flare-up and am figuring a relapse is very close... plus there is a storm system coming through. I am laying in my lazy boy - I have my clothes laid out on the ironing board right next to me - I am wrapped in electric blankets and the phone is next to me. I am trying to stay as rested as possible. I hurt so much though - it is so hard - when I am at the hospital she is sleeping and doesn't even know I am there... I sit in one of the most awful chairs and hurt but I keep trying...
I ask that you hold my Mom up in prayer that they stop with the drugs and call me should they need me - and that she find her mind again and get through this. It is going to be a long recovery.
She hasn't eaten now for 2 days... so she needs to get an appetite back - she did eat on Sunday while I was there - ate very good - so I am so confused and upset that my body deceived me and i just couldn't go down on Monday - my Bishop said that it was nothing that I did but I still feel guilty. he said this often happens and as we know she has had reality problems this year... but I was so hopeful
I am sorry. You shouldn't feel guilty you are a good person. You can only do so much and if you go down you are of no help to yourself or your mom. I would suggest if they give the meds to her again demand to speak to the DON and if that don't work talk to the administrator. They shouldn't give her meds to make her worse especially when your moments away. I would also call her doctor and speak to him to have the orders written to not give that med that causes her to be that way.
I hope you get some rest and take care of yourself (((huggles)))
I'm a material girl....Want to see my fabric collection?
Another idea post a sign above her bed "do not administer said medicine! Call me at 123-234-3456 immediately anytime day or night. Thank you"
Dear sweet Thea. I am so sorry for yet another hurdle for you to try to crwal over. Thank the Lord for your Bishop. Maybe things will change now. Of course, we are praying for you.
I am puzzled how they can legally give your Mom a drug that was NOT prescribed by her doctor. Call his office today and get this straightened. With his order, on record, that the drug is not to be administered, they will risk a lawsuit if they give it to her. Don't wait to catch him at the hospital, call him.
When you see her next, take that ring home. People are told not to have their jewelry in the hospital. It might just turn up missing....forever. I am thinking you mean a partial, not a bridge. That is cemented in. A partial comes out. Jim's Mom went crazy when they took her glasses in the ICU ,once.
Now, Thea, REST. You must rest that body. Since you are so close to the hospital, come home, take regular breaks. Call on some Church friends to go sit with her for a time to give you a break. If you don't take care of YOU, it will just get harder. You can't be there all day. Not necessary.
Guilty, you? I beg to differ. Sweetheart, you have gone above and beyond, already. Do not feel bad about this. This to shall pass and she will be home. Just give it to God and do what you can, when you can.. We are here for you. We love you and know what you have done to help her. So, just thank God you are able to help her and only do what YOU physically can.
Thea, I will keep you & your Mother in my prayers. You need to take care of yourself too.
Keeping you and your Mom in my prayers! So sorry you have to go thru this. Lean on the Lord and like Sukochi said, let others sit w/her and give yourself a break. You are a fantastic daughter and your Mom loves you and is glad you are there for her. It is terrible that the nurses, who are supposed to be helping, don't. I will add the drs. and nurses to my prayers. Please take care of yourself!
Thea, I'm so sorry for all you are going thru with your mom. I was there almost 2 years ago with my mom, who at that lived 8 hrs. from me. She also got out of bed. They put a alarm on her bed and put chairs all around it. I don't know how she was able to get out the same night after her hip surgery. After a hospital stay they put her in a intensive rehab for a week then we brought her to live with us. It was rough but she did get better. She also has alzhimers and recently developed pneumonia from aspirating. I have had to put her in a nursing home and I have to tell you it is killing me emotionally. I go every day and a lot of those days she will say let's go home. They are giving her ativan also and it does the same thing to her as it is doing to your mom. She will be totally out of it. They said the reason they are giving it to her is because she keeps getting up (which she can't walk much now from being weak I guess) and she falls.
I got upset one day and ask them ok what was she doing that you need to keep giving her something. But then I have seen her also. She screams at the staff or anyone that comes near her and she tries to hit them. When I'm there she is calmer but like you I can't be there 24/7. I'm only telling you all this to let you know that I understand what you are going thru and I'm praying for you and your mom. I have back problems and just can't take care of my mom any longer and yet I feel so guilty it is making me sick.
Hope your day is better today,
Thea and Joyce
You and your moms are both in my prayers and I send a big virtual hug to you both. All I can offer is my sincere support and prayers. Know you're not alone. Keep the faith and take care of yourselves.
Joyce, Please don't feel guilty that your Mom is in the nursing home. They have many more people there to help her than you would at home, and at home you would be going thru this same thing, but alone. You have done the best thing possible for both her and you. I know it is difficult to see your Mom like this, but please don't feel guilty that you had to do this. You are in my prayers. Ginny
Thea and Joyce ,your Mom's are both in my Prayers and Thea You are to . I wish I could explain to both of you the changes that a elderly person can have with a Fall ,hip breaking and surgery , It does something to their system ,that just can't really be explained. they can become very confused even without the Ativan and can sometimes be harmful to themselves. Talk with the head floor nurse ,and your Doctors that you are not happy and you do not want this med given ,there are other meds out there they can use that may not be as hard on them , the dosage could be to high . I'm just trying to give suggestions for you to ask.It could be a combination of her meds that are not responding well to each other. But neither one of you should feel guilty for something that is out of your control , You neither one caused this and all you can do is hope that your parent will respond well and try to comfort them as best you can. Thea you have to be your number one priority ,serioulsy if you don't get yourself well you will be the next one in hospital , Love to both of you and I pray this will get resolved quickly.
Joyce, for the health of your mother and you, you really made the right choice. Sounds like she needs care around the clock, and that is one of the most important reasons for moving her to a more secure place, where more people are available to help her, and protect her. This stage will not last. A friend had to put her husband in a nursing home, because she was worn out, and it was seriously affecting her health. After a few weeks, she brought him home for the weekend and he wanted to go back "home," to the nursing home and people he had become familiar with.
Chiliwist Valley
Thea, I am holding you and your Mom up in my prayers. But would you please, please take care of yourself or you will be no good to anyone. I know how difficult it is to have your Mom as confused as she is, and it could very well be the medication that is doing a lot of it, but some of the problem is with your Mom's age and the surgery and anesthesia she has been through and the fact that she is not where she is used to being. It does sound like the ativan doesn't work for her either. Perhaps there is something else she could have if she gets confused and agitated in the night. You do need to call her Doc and lay it on the line about her meds.
I know what you mean about the weather system coming thru to bother your RA , I am feeling it too. Would it be possible for you to spend the night with your Mom to keep her calmer instead of going in the day time? It might be worth a try. All my best to you as you struggle thru this. Ginny
Praying for Thea and her Mom also. I wish you both a speedy recovery.
Quilting My Rainbow
I am sorry that you are going thru this. It frequently happens with the elderly that they become extremely confused and sometimes even belligerent when they are in the hospital for more than a day or two. The lack of routine and the different sounds and people seems to cause a break from reality. It becomes very hard to manage. Sometimes they have to use drugs to keep the person from hurting themselves but then they can become more confused. It is a horrible cycle with no good answers. You need to take care of yourself. You won't be any good for anyone if you don't. Once your Mom's hip heals enough for her to be able to get out of the hospital the confusion will take care of itself.
Vinton, Virginia
My prayers are out for you and your Mom in this difficult time. Wishing you both the best in recovery and health.
Thank you for adding this. It helps to understand this is a frequent phase that the elderly experience in hospitals. Helps to know what to expect.

Digital Juice® announced the release of Juice Drops® Collection Two: shadedRESULTS, the second in a series of new and expanded layered Photoshop® graphics collections. In this Collection Two, artists will find an impressive library of hand-drawn and painted backgrounds, many of which use textures to achieve depth, contrast and visual interest. "The textures add a unique depth and create that cool gritty look people are looking for nowadays," says Jacqui Dawson, Senior Creative Director at Digital Juice. "What's even cooler though, is that you can choose to turn these textured layers off and you still have a beautiful illustrated background with a softer, more corporate feel."
In Collection Two: shadedRESULTS, artists will find over 400 stylized backgrounds and illustrations that are aesthetically pleasing and conveniently organized into 36 useful themed categories such as Culture, Concept, Emotion, Material, People, Music, Industry, Nature, Food & Drink, Sports, Entertainment and Season, to name a few. The range of artistic styles used to render these illustrations includes Watercolor, Sketch, Airbrush, Crayon, Pen & Ink and more.
"More and more, our customers are realizing how useful these backgrounds are for more than just Print Design," says Dawson. "People are excited about the possibilities for animating Juice Drops image layers for Motion Design and Video productions as well."
What are Juice Drops?The Juice Drops Collections are libraries of royalty-free layered backgrounds and illustrations that are completely customizable. Described as "Art You Take Apart" each background is a finished complete graphic, often designed with text in mind, and delivered with all the original layers intact for easy customization for any type of design use - from billboards to web pages, from motion graphics to print advertising and packaging applications. Artists can use the graphics flattened in their original composition or they can mix and combine layers from different backgrounds to create new and unique looks.

Video editors and motion graphics artists can use Juice Drops as full screen backdrops or as scrolling and panning backgrounds to support other motion elements. They can also take individual layers from the illustrations to animate and use as hero elements in show opens or promotional spots.

text: Many people come on... just at different times. It is funny to see College_girl say, "...how come nobody is ever here." Just moments after C_coder logs off. Then several others come... one after another. It happens like that all day long. I am usually on from between 5-7pm Hawaii time (which is 3 hours earlier than California time). It seems that a lot of you always check around the same times as you usually do, but none of them coincide with eachother.

Saturday night at the Linksoul gallery in Oceanside, California, the second Loose Behavior art show went down. This show paired ten photographers with ten artists to create collaborative pieces in different mediums. The artists had styles all across the board: Mr. DVICE, the legendary Wes Humpston and Craig Stecyk from the Dogtown era, tattooist Honkey Kong, Sketchy Tank, TWS' own Blair Alley, and many more. Check out the work and of course all the beautiful people that made it out.

This team isn't winning a championship in the next 5 years unless they trade Stat for Derek Rose. The hiring of Mike D'antoni is perhaps the worst move that the Knicks franchise has ever made in their 60 plus year history.

Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
This is too painful to watch. Thunder have 70 pts in the 1st half.
As much as this game can make u sick there is that hope that a bashing like this will lead Dolan to say enough is enough....
Dantonio is so ill prepared.
I know I am beating a dead horse, but I feel like some of their shots would miss by law of averages but everything they put up is going in. And I agree King, refs suck in this one for real. Disappointing watch so far, I expected a loss on the road against a top team minus Anthony, but this is frustrating. Don't mean fighting someone and picking up suspensions, but I'd kinda like to see some guys start playing more angry, I liked the little flash out of Chandler, I know its not a major part of the game but I want more fire from this team, when you get down big, even if you don't come all the way back and win, show some fire, dunk hard on someone, knock someone on their ass, make even a small charge to build a little momentum for the next game. I know if you lose by 30 or if you lose by 8 you get precisely 1 loss in your standings, but at least fighting back some gives you some positive thing in your head flying back to NY
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Mike D'antoni could be coach of the Knicks for the next 20 years and suck every season but Dolan will never fire him as long as people still pay millions of dollars to support the Knicks.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
The only class player on the Thunder is Durrant. Westbrook is not that good a player. Unfortunately these days most NBA teams cannot defend to save their lives. What a shame that players such as Westbrook and James are considered elite when they would be mere role players 20 years ago. As for the Knicks. No passion, no pride, no defence no cohesion; Story of their season thus far.
Out of all of this i have to say Harden is so good.
Knicks 2012
At this point, I don't care if we lose. I just waant to see some ****in effort to get back in this game. At least have the competitive spirit to fight back. LET'S GO
The only positive thing to look at is that the Celtics are looking like a team that isn't making the playoffs and the Heat are looking like a team that isn't winning a championship.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Did someone lube up the ball? Chandler fumbled about 7 passes and Stat about 3.


text: I want to find the difference between two times in C. I am using difftime to calculate the difference but it appears that the results are being returned in seconds. I need to get the exact difference between the two times (nano, micro, milli, etc). Can anyone provide some suggestions on how this can be done?


text: After his emotional first ATP title win in which he dedicated to his father who sadly passed away recently and after dominating the tournament beating Seppi, Troicki and Simon along the way could his rise continue or will he continue to blow hot and cold? He's not far off being seeded for slams and that's an achievement in itself after struggling to keep in the top 100 last year. I think his good form is due to his Davis Cup exploits just wish our British players would do the same after beating much higher ranked opposition.

A popular bus driver took his final journey on a vintage double-decker as he was laid to rest in Doncaster.
Friends and family gathered to pay their respects at the funeral of Robert Horton, aged 41, who had worked as a driver for more than 20 years.
His proud mum Sue said: "Robert planned his funeral and he wanted a double decker bus.
"He always loved buses, even from being a young child he would always play with toy buses.
"He always wanted to be a bus driver and when he passed his test it was one of the proudest days of his life.
"I remember him coming back with his pass certificate and saying 'this is gold'.
"It was one of the proudest days of his life.
"He worked in Doncaster and travelled all over the country driving."
The 41-year-old, who grew up in Thorne and was living in Bentley died on August 15 after battling bowel cancer.
The funeral service took place at St Nicholas Church in Thorne followed by a wake at the Brooke Arms.
Wilfreda Beehive, for whom Robert worked, provided the bus and driver for the funeral.
Sue said: "The service was absolutely packed there were so many people who turned out, friends, family, customers, colleagues.
"Robert was a very well known man in the community. He would always stop and chat to people and say hey up mate.
"He always had a smile on his face and always wanted to help people.
"He was so kind and caring, the best son anyone could've wished for.
"I think he would have been really pleased with the way the service turned out."
Robert leaves behind his mum Sue, dad Brian, sister Jane and wife Julie,
Robert had just celebrated his second wedding anniversary with Julie after getting married at Birkin Church.
Sue said: "On his wedding day he smiled from morning until night, he never stopped.
"He was so happy and so proud to be getting married to Julie."
A spokesman for Wilfreda Beehive said: "Robert was an absolute pleasure to work with and his infectious enthusiasm for his work had a positive effect on everyone.
"He was always prepared to help others and share his comprehensive knowledge of South Yorkshire bus routes.
"With Robert you always got a smile no matter what and he took great pride in his work which was evident from all the positive comments made by people who rode on his bus. We were honoured to take Robert on his final journey in our vintage Routemaster Bus – all at Wilfreda will miss him terribly. RIP Robert."
As well as working as a bus driver Robert also volunteered at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Dyson Desk Fan
Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan Review: Feel the Breeze
Oh, Dyson. Why must you be so far out of my reach? I've been longing for one of the designer vacuums from the high-tech appliance company for some time now, so there was no way I was refusing delivery on the new 10-inch Air Multiplier Table Fans ($300). Dyson sent this futuristic fan for me (and my lucky office mates) to review at the perfect time — the weather was heating up in SF, and our stuffy AC-less office was in dire need of some refreshment.
Pulling the fan out of the box, I immediately thought it looked like something from another planet — a large round head sitting on top of a stout cylindrical body, this was no ordinary fan. Without blades, the fan sucks air in through the base, and pushes it out the top in one solid stream of air.
The fan oscillates and tilts so you get maximum air flow where you need it, and even adjusts to different levels of power. What's my verdict? Find out when you read more.
Although the Dyson fan isn't the most powerful thing on the planet, it does its job well. I felt cooled and refreshed on some of the warmer days recently, and I certainly don't miss the buffeting sounds you get from regular fans with blades. It's not the quietest fan though — power this baby up all the way and it produces a noticeable hum. The most amazing thing about this fan is its ability to start a conversation. The first time I turned the Air Multiplier on, I got several IMs from people around the office wondering what that "thing" was on my desk. At least people noticed it for its beauty, and not its noise!

Lady Gaga will launch her Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar tour later tonight (Oct. 5) in Nashville. Fans curious how the singer will do in a far more intimate setting than her typical stadium set-up can stream her first show live on Facebook.
Related: Lady Gaga Performs 'Perfect Illusion' with Just a Keyboard
Ahead of her performance, Bud Light shared a preview of their new ad featuring Gaga performing her next single "A Million Reasons" in a dive bar. In the video, which is colored with blue and pink neon lights, Gaga sits on stage playing an upright piano. "You're giving me a million reasons to let you go/ You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show," she sings, repeating the phrase "a million reasons" over and over at the end. Her voice comes across much clearer on the simple PA.
Gaga co-wrote the song with Nashville songwriting staple Hillary Lindsey, who also worked with her for two other songs on Joanne. Lindsey may best be known for Little Big Town's "Girl Crush" among many other songs she's penned.
Gaga's first dive bar show will be broadcast on Facebook at 7 p.m. PST/ 10 p.m. EST. She will play two additional shows on October 20th and 27th at undisclosed locations. Her album Joanne drops October 21.

Hi Guys,
I recently discovered 'EnumProcess' that helps me get a rundown on what Firewalls I'm running.
First use and I discovered a rogue AVG Firewall running through their Root-Kit App. Uninstalled that App, now the AVG Firewall is gone. Happy Days.
Now I'm left (after restarting the computer, Firefox etc, etc) with this breakdown from 'EnumProcess'.....
"Windows Firewall is off
1 Service(s) from ZoneAlarm (TrueVector) detected
2 Service(s) from ZoneAlarm detected
firewall process from ZoneAlarm detected"
Now I'd just like to know from any Tech Gurus out there if this is the correct (clean bill of health) Firewall configuration when you just let ZoneAlarm run the show? Should there be 3 services?
I'm running...
Win XP SP 3
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 9.3.014.00
Firefox 3.6.11
Thank You for any wisdom in advance.

Best At-Home Tooth Whiteners
Most of us only dream of banishing bad hair days, especially as we get older and strands go gray and lose their shine and fullness. But here at Good Housekeeping, we wondered if we could make that dream a reality: Last fall, we set out to discover, scientifically, whether anything could deliver lasting color and revive limp locks; in short, we focused our second annual awards on finding anti-aging hair products that really work. We enlisted 579 women, ages 35 to 81, and gave them shampoos, treatments, haircolor, and more to test for one to four weeks, depending on product directions. They filled out reams of questionnaires with their picks, pans, and comments. Back at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, our Beauty Lab spent months shampooing, conditioning, treating, and coloring almost nine pounds of human hair swatches, and then evaluated the results using our state-of-the-art equipment. The good news: The hair products you use can make a limp and lackluster head of hair look thicker and shinier and help haircolor stay vibrant. Here are the 17 proven winners.
The Contenders: Shampoos and conditioners created to increase volume, shine, softness, and smoothness, and to make hair more manageable--without fading color. Since the pairs are formulated to work together, that's how we tested them.
Testing Time: One week
Gold Winner: "I had strangers telling me my hair was gorgeous!" said one tester after using the Pureology Nanoworks Shampoo & Conditioner ($53 each, salons). The admittedly pricey pair earned its splurge-worthy status, taking first place in our biggest testing category. Testers repeatedly commented on its "rich, thick lather," especially notable because the shampoo doesn't contain the common sudsing agent sodium lauryl sulfate, which can cause hair and scalp dryness. The color-protecting formula made it popular among panelists with colored strands. "It made my hair smooth and kept the color vibrant," said one. Volunteers also noted that it improved softness and combability, and the latter was confirmed in the lab. Both the Pureology and second-place Biolage (see below) received perfect scores for wet combing on the Instron, demonstrating their prowess at detangling and protecting strands from further damage. Still hesitant about spending big bucks on shampoo? Consider that a bottle is designed to last for 80 shampoos (about three months), thanks to its concentrated formula.
