Here's a far-out proposition. Harvard University physicist Paul Horowitz is so dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) that he says ''I'd bet my life'' there are alien civilizations out there. Furthermore, he offers to jump off his radio telescope if anyone can prove him wrong.
For his part, radio astronomer Frank Drake, who ran the original SETI project 35 years ago, says he too is convinced these civilizations are ''there to be found.'' He adds, ''I think we can guarantee you that.'' He also admits no one knows how hard it will be to find them.
Dr. Drake, president of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., was on hand last week to cheer on Dr. Horowitz as the latter's new SETI equipment went on line at Harvard University's Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Mass.
This is a giant step forward in SETI capability. Hooked up to Harvard's 84-foot-diameter radio-telescope antenna, this equipment can survey 640 million microwave radio channels every 20 seconds, covering a frequency range of 1400 to 1700 megahertz. That's a frequency range in which radio signals zip through the galaxy with little interference - a range many SETI scientists think galactic communicators would favor.
The new equipment can discard spurious earth-based signals and concentrate on what's coming from the sky. It can do this automatically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, except for maintenance down time. In the course of a year, it can cover every part of the sky visible from Harvard, Mass. If anyone is beaming signals our way from one or more of the hundreds of sun-like star systems within 150 light-years of Earth that are within the observatory's view, this new equipment will get the message.
Meanwhile, the dazzling technological virtuosity raises a larger question. Why is it that scientists such as Drake and Horowitz and their SETI colleagues and supporters persist in what might seem to be a thankless quest?
Their work is so easily ridiculed by politicians that Congress canceled all funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) SETI program search even before the current Republican drive to slash federal spending. Moreover, even the most enthusiastic searcher admits that the quest is more difficult than finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Thirty five years of listening by a variety of projects has yielded only false alarms.
The answer seems to lie partly in the fact that the issue of whether or not we are alone in the universe is one of the most awesome questions humanity faces. It also lies partly in the fact that the possibility of resolving that question, while slim, is not zero.
Moreover, the needed technology is evolving rapidly. Drake says it is doubling its search capacity every year.
That is why SETI is not quixotic. Even a slim possibility of finding fellow intelligent beings in the galaxy catches the attention of many knowledgeable people who believe the search is worth supporting. And that is why SETI lives on in spite of the loss of government funding in the United States and Russia - the two leading centers of the work in the past.
The technology developed for NASA's aborted program now is at work in improved form in Project Phoenix run by the SETI Institute thanks to private funding covering the next five years. Horowitz's equipment and operation is underwritten by the Planetary Society, which easily raised money to match the $100,000 worth of memory chips donated by Micron Technology Corporation of Boise, Idaho.
Planetary Society executive director Louis Friedman says he believes that, at base, SETI ''is about ourselves.'' It is about ''understanding our relationship to our environment, to the planets, [and] to the universe,'' he explains.
That's a powerful incentive. Horowitz won't have to jump off his radio telescope even if no alien message is received in his lifetime. There will be successors to carry on the search and interested bystanders to fund the effort.

The Comeback
The story goes back to 1973. Jörgen G. Rasmussen, who was the European Scout Region Secretary, persuaded a young Swiss Scout called Kurt Metz to apply for a new possition in the world of Scouting: full-time Camp Director of the World Scout Centre in Kandersteg. Kurt was just 22 years old when he was appointed for the job.
He left the Centre 6 years later in 1978, and visited Kandersteg many other times since then. By the time he arrived at the Centre last week, it was almost 10 years since his last time in Kandersteg.
Mark Knippenberg, the actual Centre's Director, welcomed Kurt and guided him on a tour about the actual state of the property, the Kander-Lodge, the Campsite and the current Ground Floor Renovation plan. By lunchtime Kurt got the chance to meet and chat with the Pinkies, recall memories whilst going through files and pictures from his time at KISC, and discuss some ideas for the future of the Centre.
Kurt left again early in the afternoon, back to his home near Bern, but hopefully we'll get the chance to see him back soon!
Eh? Is it over? Wow! Time goes fast and now it is time for me to leave Kandersteg and move on to my next adventure - maybe I'm still on time to become an astronaut? We all know that it can be a little sad to leave the Centre, and I will certainly miss my job, the fantastic people and the amazing surroundings a lot...
But before that: a sincere and very argentinean "GRACIAS TOTALES" to all of you for reading me in the Latest News, the Website, KanderInfo and Members Letter. From now on Lou (IT) will keep you informed about all the news at the Home of World Scouting in the Swiss Alps.
Welcome to Kandersteg! Come and live your dreams!

Education savings fund amendment voted down
November 5, 2008
Denver — Amendment 59, which would have created a savings account to fund public schools in tough economic times, went down in defeat.
The measure had the support of numerous education, civic and business groups that joined to contribute more than $2.5 million to the campaign for the measure.
Opponents ran their campaign largely by distributing fliers and sending e-mails, charging that Amendment 59 was a tax hike. The measure was losing 55 percent to 45 percent late Tuesday night. The vote on Amendment 59 was much closer in Routt County, where it was supported by a hair more than 50 percent of voters.
Former state Rep. Penn Pfiffner, who ran one of two campaigns against the amendment, said opponents succeeded despite being outspent at least 250-to-1.
"The way we were able to succeed was by making clear to Colorado voters that this was a huge tax increase," Pfiffner said.
Pfiffner said the campaign also convinced voters that Amendment 59 proponents were not disclosing the full effects of the measure.
Recommended Stories For You
House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, who led the campaign for the amendment, could not be reached for comment.
Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, who led another campaign against the proposal, said he will comment today.
Beverly Ingle, president of the Colorado Education Association, said the message that Amendment 59 was a tax increase came at a time when people are worried about the economy. The CEA supported Amendment 59.
"It (Amendment 59) was very difficult to understand and was on a very crowded ballot," Ingle said.
It would have altered parts of two other parts of the (state) constitution that are not widely understood.
When people don't understand a ballot item, they tend to reject it, Ingle said.
Amendment 59 would have funded the savings account for schools from money that otherwise would be returned to taxpayers as rebates under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, adopted by voters in 1992.
TABOR limits the amount of money the state and local governments can take in. Revenue in excess of the cap must be returned.
Also altered was a 2000 amendment that sets school funding levels.
In appearances around the state, Romanoff assured voters that Amendment 59 would not raise taxes.
He also said Amendment 59 does not eliminate the part of TABOR that requires state and local governments to seek voter approval for tax increases.
But Bruce, who wrote TABOR, argued that eliminating the rebates was a tax increase because the government will keep money that belongs to the taxpayers.
Bruce also disputed Romanoff's claim that the amendment doesn't eliminate the right to vote on tax increases.

Craig Bauer
Craig Bauer is a two-time GRAMMY Album of the Year nominee and GRAMMY Award winning mixing engineer.
Bauer began his mixing career in 1993 when he opened HINGE studios in Chicago, Illinois. In the early 90's, Bauer's clients included many of the top contemporary jazz artists, including; Brian Culbertson, and Dave Koz, and Steve Cole.
In 1997, Bauer began working with an obscure rap group dubbed "The Go Getters", which included a very young Kanye West. Several of the demos West recorded with Bauer were later built into tracks on the College Dropout album. Bauer later mixed "Heard 'Em Say", "Roses", "Bring Me Down", "Addiction" and "Late" on Kanye West's Late Registration Album which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 48th Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2006.
Bauer went on to mix Lupe Fiasco's debut studio album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, which received four GRAMMY Award nominations at the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards, including a nomination for Best Rap Album. In 2007, Bauer mixed the majority of Fiasco's second album, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, including the hit single "Superstar" which peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lupe Fiasco's The Cool was nominated in 4 categories at the 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards.
In 2008 Bauer was again a nominee for Album of the Year for his contributions to Kanye West's Graduation album. Bauer won a GRAMMY statue that year for mixing the Clark Sisters album Live: One Last Time.
In addition to GRAMMY nominated works, Bauer also mixed the SNL Digital Short Motherlover featuring Justin Timberlake and Andy Samdberg. In 2012 The Live Room by Warren Music filmed Ed Sheeran performing 4 songs at HINGE studios, Chicago. Ed Sheeran specifically requested to film with Bauer at HINGE as he was a massive fan of the Late Registration album.
In 2014 Bauer relocated HINGE studios to Los Angeles, California where he continues to produce and mix major label and independent artist projects in nearly every genre of music.
Dirk Ulrich
Dirk Ulrich was born in Cologne Germany in 1971. He is the owner of Brainworx (Germany) and Plugin Alliance (California).
After finishing school in 1990, and a 1-year civilian service, he studied business and law. While still studying, fostering and focusing his lifelong love of music, Dirk worked part-time in a professional music store and opened his first semi-professional recording studio where he recorded local metal and punk bands on 2" tape machines and analog consoles.
His studio business started picking up bigger acts and clients when he was offered a co-publishing deal with Warner Chappell and the opportunity to establish his own rock music label in the late 1990s. Which meant he stopped studying law to focus on his music career full time.
Brainworx Germany was founded in 2000 as a music production and multi-media company. Throughout the years Dirk worked as a music producer and mixing and mastering engineer for his own label as well as more established labels like Roadrunner, Sony, EMI, Warner. He worked with artists, bands and members of bands including Dream Theater, Toto, Michael Jackson, Joe Cocker, Pro Pain, Jennifer Batten, and many European rock acts.
Dirk produced everything from local demos, CD and vinyl albums, live concert DVDs in Stereo and 5.1, to radio commercials and music to be used by the very successful soccer team of Dirk's German hometown, Leverkusen.
Dirk also wrote original music and played guitars in various rock bands he founded, which recorded albums and toured Europe in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In 2005, Dirk's direct experience in audio production and mastering (which is and was his favorite part of the production process) led to the idea for what would become Brainworx's first audio plugin product, bx_digital. While attending a mastering session for one of his projects, he was fascinated by what the mastering engineer was able to achieve with Mid/Side processing. Instantly seeing the power of M/S processing, Dirk dreamed up what he'd want in an M/S EQ and the end result was the first commercially available M/S (Mid/Side) Mastering EQ plugin - and the birth of Brainworx as a premier professional audio plugin developer.
Throughout the tremendous growth of Brainworx and the founding of the Plugin Alliance in 2011, Dirk has continued to work on productions in his Neve VXS 72 equipped studio in Leverkusen, Germany. He enjoys sharing his vast experience, as well as great products, with Brainworx and Plugin Alliance clients around the world.
Dirk is married to his lovely wife Marina since 2012, and together they have a son, über-cute little rocker Tim, who was born in 2014.
Greg Wurth
Greg Wurth is a Grammy Nominated, Gold & Platinum award winning producer, working as Manager and Chief Engineer at The Harmony Hut Studio and Patigonia Studio. His credits range from Steve Vai and Tony MacAlpine to Tracii Guns to Jim Florentine & Don Jamieson, 2Cellos and Mary J Blige. He has been Steve Vai's Engineer for 10 years. A lot of his time is spent in the "Harmony Hut" studio in Encino, CA where they currently do all of Vai's projects. As of 2015 Greg has launched two new ventures:"Inside The Studio With Greg Wurth", a video channel created along with Lisamarie Costabile that offers fun and insightful learning videos as well as interviews with professionals in the industry. The other is "Greg Wurth Audio" which is a pro audio hardware company with the first offering being an all discrete 16 ch. summing mixer called "The Oracle".
"I grew up in southern San Diego. My parents were big fans of music and introduced me to The Beatles and Led Zeppelin early on. I used to collect cassettes & CD's in the early 90's and eventually I became interested enough to play an instrument, so I bought a guitar. I took lessons for a few years and had some bands but I realized that it wasn't a natural thing for me. I eventually figured out that I was meant to Produce and Engineer music."
Kate Finan
Kate Finan has been a post-production sound professional for over ten years and has garnered multiple MPSE Golden Reel Award nominations for Best Sound Editing and Music+Sound Award nominations for Best Sound Design.
Kate began her professional career as an assistant sound effects editor and over the next decade worked her way up to garnering a coveted position as a supervising sound editor at Warner Bros. Studios. There, she oversaw the post-production sound for numerous animated television series.
In 2015, Kate Finan and co-owner Jeff Shiffman founded Boom Box Post, a post-production sound studio located in Los Angeles, CA. Boom Box Post services high-profile animated television series and films such as Mickey and the Roadster Racers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lion Guard, and The Loud House.

This love of Music Tech has also led Mo into the world of training and over the last decade he has produced hundreds of hours of video content and created a strong online presence Mo is currently a Lead Trainer at MacProVideo.com, a Feature Writer for Future Music and is now looking forward to being part of the Plugin Alliance team.
Ronan Chris Murphy
If there is one word that sums up Ronan Chris Murphy's musical career, it is diversity. Ranging from work with YouTube sensation Tay Zonday to over a dozen albums with progressive rock legends King Crimson, from Norwegian art metal pioneers Ulver to pop superstar Jamie Walters or iconic Greek vocalist Alexia (Vassiliou), Ronan's work spans the globe both figuratively and literally.
He got his start playing in the early Washington, DC punk scene in a band called Freak Baby (which was also Dave Grohl's first band who joined after Murphy left the band) and he went on to play in the 80's scene that would later be dubbed grunge or alternative. He shared the stage with the likes of The Flaming Lips, Henry Rollins, Death Angel, Die Kreuzen, Iron Cross, Dinosuar Jr., All and GWAR.
By the beginning of the 90s, Ronan made the shift full time to production and engineering, working in Boston with a strong emphasis on hip-hop, electronic music and Americana, including studio work with the great Martin Sexton. While in Boston he also studied synthesis part-time at the Berklee College of Music, where he was the head of the Berklee student Digital Audio Group. A few years later he was invited to be a producer/engineer in residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, focusing on jazz, classical and experimental music. While there he worked with artists such as Chucho Valdes y Groupo Irakere, Los Muñequitos de Matanzas Norma Winstone, Kenny Wheeler, Joan Labarbara, The Banff Festival Orchestra and Kaija Saariaho. During this time Ronan was also one of the producers of the International Computer Music conference.
After leaving Banff, Ronan relocated to Seattle where he worked as an Audio Lead for the Microsoft Network, working on the team that helped pioneer synchronized audio, MIDI and animation on the Internet. After a year in the corporate world, he went back to music production and engineering and found himself immersed in the world of progressive rock and bouncing between the U.S. and England for several years. During this time Ronan worked on over a dozen albums with King Crimson, as well as albums with the likes of Steve Morse, Terry Bozzio, Steve Stevens, Nels Cline, Tony Levin and The California Guitar Trio, and working on the crew of the G3 tour with Robert Fripp Steve Vai and Joe Satriani (as a tech for Robert Fripp).
Having musical interests far beyond "prog," he continues to work with artists from all around the globe in virtually all styles of music. Some highlights include producing "Rustic Living for Urbanites" for Pete Teo, which is widely considered one of the most important albums in the Malaysian singer/songwriter scene and spent 3 months in the top 10, recording tracks for legendary Greek singer Alexia, which reached #1 on the Greek jazz charts, and Icelandic art/pop band Soundspell, which was a top 20 album in Iceland. Ronan produces, mixes and masters for clients from around the globe at his Veneto West studio in Santa Monica, California, in addition to traveling to work with various artists around the world on a regular basis.
In addition to producing and engineering full time, Ronan has always been an avid educator. In 2003 he launched Recording Boot Camp®, which helped pioneer the concept of the "one week recording school," presenting workshops around the U.S. and Europe, including the "Italian Villa Boot Camp" in a villa-based studio in North Italy. The business presents in-person Recording Boot Camps and Mixing Boot Camps, as well online courses and consulting.
He has been a lecturer or panelist at SXSW (South by Southwest), NXNW (North by Northwest), The Action Poetry Festival, the International Organ Festival, The Berklee College of Music, The TAXI Road Rally, The Musicians Institute, 2NMC, The Society of Composers and Lyricists, the International Computer Music Conference and many others.
In 2009, Ronan launched Ronan's Recording Show, one of the first online shows about recording, which over the years has garnered millions of views.
Ronan's consulting business has a wide range of international clients ranging from hobbyists in home studios, to major label artists with pro studios, as well as houses of worship, academic institutions, and pro audio manufacturers. Recordingbootcamp.com
The Blackbird Academy
The Blackbird Academy was started by recording and live sound engineer John McBride and his wife, country artist Martina McBride. They created Blackbird Studio in 2002, which has grown to be a top production stop for recording artists like Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Kid Rock, Tim McGraw and many more. When interviewing interns and employees for Blackbird Studio, John would ask various questions about production such as: "what is your favorite kick drum mic?." The answers revealed that many graduates of audio programs had little hands-on time in a recording studio.
Another question whose answer shocked him was "how much did your education cost?" John quickly realized that not only did grads still have a lot to learn, but they were also saddled with debt.
After talking about the ideas they had regarding audio education, John and Martina founded The Blackbird Academy. John hired Mark Rubel and Kevin Becka, both longtime audio engineers, musicians and educators, and the three of them went to work creating the program.
The curriculum features access to Blackbird Studio's gear and facilities – a top stop for award-winning artists, producers and engineers. Another feature is a mentor-driven, experience-based education. At The Blackbird Academy, you will be taught by a unique cast of professional instructors and award-winning guest mentors.
Any great education is centered in a hands-on environment, and at The Blackbird Academy you will have 350 hours in our 30-position classroom/lab, and 350 hours in the studio in groups of five students. The studios are the same rooms used every day to make hit records at Blackbird Studio. The classroom is itself a recording studio with an API console, patch bay, two iso booths, Pro Tools HD, three 65" flat screen TVs, and 30 student Pro Tools rigs driven by Universal Audio's Apollo interface featuring every plugin in the UAD-2 collection.
There is no substitute for learning hands-on, from the best professional instructors, in rooms and on gear that is used to make top quality music every day. The lessons learned at The Blackbird Academy will help you find work in an industry that is competitive, challenging and rewarding.
Realize your potential by taking part in The Blackbird Academy experience!

The Chorusing of the Waves
Clarinets, flutes, and oboes, for example, are just tubes. Of air, set into motion by a player. So are trumpets and french horns. So are voices. So are pipeline waves; you know, those tall breaking waves that surfers shoot down the middle of. For a moment, when the wave-tube is correct and the air within it is vibrating, a complex set of pitches can be heard emanating from it. These waves sing.

How to Draw a Cartoon Alligator Head
Want to brag about your drawing of an alligator to your friends? Well, stick with this article to find out how to draw a quick, simple, cartoon drawing of an alligator!
1Start off your alligator with two small curves, and a slight curve between them. Those will be your gator's eyelids.
2Create two ovals in the middle of each of your curves. (Except the small one in between) Inside the ovals, draw in two small circles, and fill them in. You've just finished your alligators eyes!
3Make a long line from the left eye, as shown in the picture above. At the end of the line, make a tiny curve, and a little to the right, add another small curve. These are the alligator's nose. Now, make a line from the first part of the nose that you've made, and curve it around both nostrils and upwards, just like in the image above.
4Make a curve at the top of the line you just finished. That is your gator's smile! After that, make a line starting at the left of your gator's smile, and do the same as done with the smile, or the mouth.
5Make a slight curve until you reach the end of your paper. Then, start another line from your gator's chin, to the bottom of the paper. Finally, create little bumps or curves down your alligator's back to make his scales.
6Whether you want to color in your alligator or not. Either way, you'll still have an amazing cartoon alligator to show your family and friends!

Jim Penna, spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, said he contacted RVG management group of Wormleysburg, which manages the property, and asked for a statement regarding the eviction. Penna said his phone has been "ringing off the hook" about the eviction of 25 to 30 homeless people from the camp, which has been has been there an estimated 15 years.
Penna said the city had no involvement in the eviction other than the police department responding to the owner's complaint about trespassers. RVG said the homeless are wanted off the property for health, safety and liability reasons, in addition to having the property appraised for development.
On June 18, a patrol supervisor for the city police department notified some of the residents to spread the word that all of them must be out by today. Penna said the mayor's office had successfully urged RVG to extend the deadline to July 9.

The Goodness of God
- Created by: Agata
- Created on: 05-03-14 13:25
The goodness of God as described in the bible is very different from the ideal of Platonic thought. God's goodness is interactive and makes demands of humanity.
God is seen more than just an ideal to follow, which remains unaffected and does not care who aspires to it. God is seen as a personality, reacting to people and caring about the way they behave.
Goodness as a quality or Plato's Form of the Good is inactive and very unlike the God of the bible. Goodness as a scale against which things are measured is not interested in the results of what it is measuring, because qualities do not have the capacity to take an interest.
God sets a standard for the people to follow, and watches too see the way they respond. In Exodus 20 the Hebrew people who have been lead out of slavery by Moses into the wilderness are given laws directly from God which they are to follow as part of their covenant relationship with him. Some laws relate to their relationship with God and others to their treatment of one another; for example the10 commandments (the Decalogue):
'You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God… You shall not steal'
Goodness is revealed to faith, not reason (as in Platonic thought). Some of the characters in the bible who are singled out for special commendation are those who through faith continue to obey God's commands even if they don't understand them.
In Genesis Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac because of his faith
Job continued to praise and be obedient to God even though he felt he was being unjustly punished
God becomes angered at injustice because he cares about his creation, and calls upon his prophets to let his people know they are failing him. He is hurt when people refuse…

Can Pakistan talk its way to peace with the Taliban?
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
ISLAMABAD (AFP) – Pakistani politicians have offered talks to the Taliban, but with attacks continuing and the militants issuing demanding conditions for negotiations, the road to peace looks as long and tortuous as ever.
At the instigation of the new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, a conference of Pakistan's political parties last week called for talks with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the main grouping of the militants.
An umbrella faction for armed Islamist outfits but also criminals and mafia gangs, the TTP was created in 2007 and pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda. In the years since, it has carried out hundreds of attacks, killing more than 6,000 people.
The TTP initially hailed the initiative but on Sunday issued a series of tough conditions for taking part in talks, including the release of all of its members held in Pakistani jails and the complete withdrawal of government forces from the tribal areas along the Afghan border that are its stronghold.
The same day, the militants carried out a series of attacks in the country's restive northwest that left seven soldiers and police dead, including a general commanding an army division.
TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said they had not been approached for talks and the war with the Pakistani authorities would continue unless the government announced a ceasefire.
After Sunday's attacks, army chief General Ashfaq Kayani released a statement affirming the army's support for talks but vowing not to cave in to the TTP's demands.
"While it is understandable to give peace a chance through the political process no-one should have any misgivings that we would let terrorists coerce us into accepting their terms," Kayani said.
Peace deals reached with the TTP in the past, in limited geographical areas, have fallen apart quickly and Pakistani media have questioned whether a genuine, effective peace agreement was really possible.
They noted the difficulties apparent in trying to reconcile the government and army's firm commitment to maintaining Pakistan's territorial integrity and constitution with the Taliban's desire for the imposition of sharia law, among other issues.
It is a dilemma which some say is fuelling division within the militant ranks as much as debate among the politicians and men in khaki.
"The attack on a senior military general is a sign that there are Taliban groups who don't want to negotiate with the government," said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, former information minister in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which has borne the brunt of TTP attacks.
The Pakistani Taliban are made up of a myriad of factions which have declared "holy war" on the government in Islamabad, which they accuse of kowtowing to Washington, India and religious minorities such as Shiites.
Citing intelligence sources, Hussain said that while some Taliban groups support talks, notably those in Punjab which are vehemently anti-Indian and historically close to the military, others do not.
The latter include the hardline group of Mullah Fazlullah, which took control of Swat valley in 2007 before being kicked out by a major army operation two years later.
Hussain said Sunday's attacks were "basically an effort to spoil the peace talks", a view backed up by a senior Taliban commander, who said Fazlullah's group were behind the blast that killed the general.
Journalist and analyst Rahimullah Yousufzai said there has been some contact with the TTP but nothing of substance has been achieved so far.
"Lots of questions remain unanswered: how do you talk, where, how do you implement any agreement? Do you need to free prisoners?" he told AFP.
Moreover, the support of the army -- still the most powerful institution in the country -- for a talks process is not guaranteed to last indefinitely. Kayani will retire in November and the identity and inclinations of his successor are unknown.
Imran Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf political party in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government, said the authorities must use the traditional channel of tribal elders for the talks.
"The government has no choice (but to negotiate), this is the only solution. In the past the army did, but now the federal government should take responsibility," he told AFP.

No matter how much lube is used the soreness comes from the micro vaginal tears that occur just due to the woman's vaginal walls adjusting to the size (this can happen with any size). Vaginal tears feel like internal papercuts they can't not be avoided at one point or another (such as first time having sexual intercourse, adjusting to a new sexual position, vaginal dryness due to hormonal changes after birth, aging, etc) So stimulating her a head of time and lubing her if she stills needs more IS the best a male can do. Eventually if the female stays with the same partner the tears will heal and the soreness will go away due to the body's adjustment to whatever caused the tear to begin with.

My ex couldn`t care less about size, it wasn`t something she liked or that turned her on, but when it came to sex, I believe she wished I was shorter, she often complained I was too big.
My current gf was fascinated with my size to start with, she still like it and think it`s sexy, but the exightment has worn off I guess. and when she says I`m too big, it is more in a playful way. But she is impatient when we have sex, skipping the warm up or foreplay, so sometimes she kind of has herself to blame if it hurts a bit Btw. my gf told her friend the other day that a big penis isn`t always a good thing, so I guess she has mixed feelings about it I don`t mind.
All people are different! Some like it big, some don`t, most may like all sizes, some even seem to be sizeblind amd some just don`t care. It`s all good!

I know guys who openly joke and almost brag that they have a small dick, full of confidence, they are still very popular with the ladies. I think size only matters if you want it to, and to be honest, some times I want it to
Btw, I allmost missed the JK in your signature and thought you were serious!

That is why I am grateful that all of you with bigger units that have posted here, have made it a point to say that the girl has to be prepared before penetration and that even with that sometimes is not enough. You are absolutely right TJT, we girls sometimes are impatient I like to ravish our partners and when we do, we have no one to blame but ourselves, when we get sore.

The problem is more that what is considered "big" on this forum is completely messed up. 8x6 is not big. 8x6 is retardedly massive.
7x5.5 is already frigging huge, most research done in a good manner (no selection bias, no unclear measuring methods) show average sizes that are just tiny. I've found tons of studies with average length 5" BP and girth 4.7". Only crappy ones like the cancun/kinsey seem to be given any attention, and all the other research just proves that the result there is far from the actual average.

There is one unforgettable moment in Brett Dean's new opera Hamlet, which I saw on its first night at Glyndebourne on 11 June. This is when Sarah Connolly, as Gertrude, comes to tell Laertes of Ophelia's death. She sings a version of "There grows a willow…" with her usual glorious heartfelt emotion and simplicity and, as she does so, you hear Barbara Hannigan singing flashes of her mad scene from the dome. It's a gorgeous, moving moment which reminds why opera, as a form, gives you things that the straight theatre can't.
Otherwise, this struck me as a very clever opera that didn't quite explain why it needed to be written. Matthew Jocelyn has taken the text and played about with it and those of who know the play well have a lot of fun working out what bits come from where – so "do not saw your hand in the air" is used for the duelling at the end. It's rare, if at all, that you get a single speech set entirely as it was. I don't object to that, but it is distracting to have bits of the play that you know coming up in unexpected places. And there are lots of jokes about the different variant readings which are funny, if you get them.
What worries me more is that there isn't really an over-arching idea to this opera. There are a succession of more or less successful scenes and an exhausting role for the protagonist but that feels like it. They've sensibly got rid of Fortinbras and the bulk of the political side of the play, but what I missed was the need for revenge or any sense of Hamlet's vacillation or the irony associated with that. If Hamlet isn't a political play, it's a revenge tragedy with some really good meditation about life and death. Here the existential side seemed to take centre stage without the revenge plot.
It was also long and needed cutting- the performance lasted half an hour longer than Glyndebourne thought it would. I first became aware of this in the scene where Polonius suggests that they put Ophelia in Hamlet's way. Aside from the tedium of Polonius (who the music makes a lot less funny than the play) there's a sextet with comic backing for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They turn up in the Osric role later on (the whole bit about Hamlet being sent to England is cut) and have a silly duet about the odds. And the play scene takes forever. I wasn't convinced about the need for a gravedigger. Surely you can cut Yorick?
Dean's music strikes me as professional. There's some smashing word-setting and quite a lot of others where you feel that it all feels a bit leaden. The orchestration has a semi-chorus, antiphonal percussion and brass up on either side of the Upper Circle. There are some nice moments, some great climaxes and quite a lot where it sounds as though it's just grumbling in the background. It didn't dislike and there are moments, particularly in the second half where the things sort-of takes off.
Overall, however, this brings me back to the problems of setting the texts of Shakespeare in English. If you don't use the original, everyone says that the libretto isn't as good. If you do, then there are the problems of setting great lines that actors will generally do better. It helps if you can condense it in a foreign language and let your version speak for itself. This seems to me to join the group of honourable failures. And it's too long.
It's pretty brilliantly done. Neil Armfield's production moves fluidly and, technically, is a very adept piece of work. Vladimir Jurowski conducts the LPO and the Glyndebourne chorus with huge assurance. There wasn't a hint of uncertainty about the performance and you felt that everyone was engaging with and utterly committed to the piece.
Allan Clayton gives a hugely energetic performance as Hamlet and sings the lines clearly, beautifully, intelligently. What I missed, and I think this is the opera's fault, not his, was any hint as to why we should care about him at all. Sarah Connolly was her typically fabulous self as Gertrude. Barbara Hannigan has a stratospheric (and very successful) mad scene for Ophelia and she pulls it off as a marvellous set-piece. Rod Gilfry as Claudius sang clearly even if you didn't quite get what the character was all about. Kim Begley was a clear Polonius, but I wonder if he didn't have too much to do. John Tomlinson had three lovely roles as the Ghost, the First Player and the Gravedigger and was his usual, booming, hugely intelligent, charismatic self. David Butt Philip (who will be singing Hamlet on the Tour) was excellent as Laertes. Rupert Enticknap and Christopher Lowrey had a fine double act as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Maybe it's time to give the joke that it's impossible to tell which is which a rest.
As ever at Glyndebourne you can't fault the sheer commitment and professionalism of the performance. It's given this piece the best possible send-off. I'm simply not convinced that I really want to see it again. Sorry.

The Keymaster
Arkrai Menwyn Vanil
Loreist priest of Glomewood
Arkrai Menwyn Vanil is a high-ranking Loreist priest who lives in the town of Glomewood, built into The Tendechagh in Hagoph.
He is a soft-spoken but stern garland, who looks after his flock but has little time for outsiders. His main priority in life is his daughter Varil, whom he loves unconditionally.
Arkrai Vanil is tall and slender, with a shaved head and a neat, mossy beard.
The Vanil family were one of the first groups of garlands to live in The Tendechagh, and were instrumental in the founding of Glomewood. Menwyn's great-great-grandfather Eligar Vanil was a Loreist priest, the first in The Tendechagh, and since then, almost every male in the family has become an Arkrai.
Menwyn has never left The Tendechagh, and as few outsiders visit it, is somewhat distrusting of the other races of Yokurgin. He is very protective of his carefree daughter Varil, and will do anything to protect her.

Welcome to the inaugural posting to our new blog "Fearless Security" hosted by Penton/Windows IT Pro. We intend to focus on life in the Infosec lane.. call it a "lifestyle" blog for us in the white/grey hats. Less about feeds and speeds of the latest firewall and more on what shows/trainings/certifications will offer you the most for your training/certification dollar and other career stuff along with whatever fun stuff we can somehow tangentially related to Infosec. Join two grizzled (ok, one of us is less grizzled than the other) industry veterans for biting and hopefully witty commentary and discussion on all things Infosec, IT and computing in general.
It's raining here as the Annual Blackhat security conference starts here in Las Vegas. Its a rare event in the desert, keeping the skies overcast and cooler than the average 105 degrees F in July. An inauspicious beginning to a conference trying to refocus its mission while broadening its audience, a hard thing to do even when you aren't under new ownership. The show was sold last year to CMP Media, not exactly your avant garde, counterculture company so its going to be hard put to keep its just this side of legitimate cred. However, Blackhat always was the respectable grown up cousin to the accompanying Defcon unabashed hack fest that starts a day later. Blackhat was the show that you could get your company to pay for, so that you could attend Defcon on the weekend. So perhaps a transition to more corporate participation is a natural thing. After all, we aren't getting any older and most of us have real jobs, mortgages, kids and a house in the burbs now. However, just like your kids, it's a bit bitter sweet to see them grow up.
However, not all hope is lost yet. Our classic measure of a show "jumping the shark" is what we like to call the "pony tail to suit" ratio. As soon as the show attendance ratio of Ponytails (read practitioners) to Suits (read salespeople or other folks simply on a company paid junket), it has passed it ability to give useful education and serves mainly as a corporate showcase and another way to drain your company training allowance. We saw this happen in the computer reseller industry, the network industry and the ISP industry. In fact, once you start referring to a group of companies as an industry, you are well on your way. However, I'd rate Blackhat's P/S ratio at about 70/30 right now so perhaps we have a few more good years. But I think this process is inevitable and a big company taking over the reins certainly doesn't slow it down, though I'm sure Jeff Moss will do his best (when hes done counting his millions). By the way, congrats Jeff on a well deserved reward for providing us with years of two great shows.
Another sunny forecast is the swag report. It seems this year vendors remembered that the way to a geeks heart is not a pile of literature or a rambling sales pitch but rather free tshirts and other geeky gear. After all, we will be mowing the lawn in that t-shirt and drinking coffee from that mug long after the literature has been deposited in the hotel room trash cause we couldn't fit it all in our suitcases.
Deep pockets also has other benefits. The check-in facilities are now what you expect at a show of this size, long rows of check in booths. Granted we didn't get checked in any faster than before. The key note speeches were delivered to multiple rooms with a video link to the main ballroom. This cut down on the standing room only jam-packed rooms of the past and made it much more comfortable. Though, it was a bit Big Brotherish watching a giant talking head on the screen (especially when its Richard Clarks face yapping). Weird seeing the speaker react to things off screen or take questions from unseen speakers. However overall, an improvement.
And of course its still blackhat in all the ways we've come to love and hate. A/V screwups, unintelligible speakers and schedule typos. Some things just don't change.
CMP has also brought in gold plated sponsors such as Cisco and Microsoft. Even though they are a platinum sponsor (The biggest you can buy), I think MS is still a big unsure of what to do at this show. They don't want to not be there, especially when half the seminars are about breaking their software, but they haven't figured out where they fit in. So they have a booth where they hand out drink coasters disguised as Windows 2008 Server beta copies and look vacantly into space or play with their blackberries. Honestly Ive never approached a vendor booth at a show and not been drawn into the "vendor tractor beam" of attention and salesmanship like I was at theirs., It was both refreshing and disturbing at the same time.
The keynotes were given by Richard Clarke and Bruce Schneier. Richards was more of his less government is good screeds which is curious considering he was President Bushes staff just a few years ago promoting exactly the opposite. I guess that cured him of being a big government fan.
Bruce's speech was quite interesting if a bit obtuse about the psychology of security and our unexpected penchants for risk/reward. A good topic for the setting (Las Vegas) and Bruce is always an engaging speaker regardless of the subject.
The sessions have been nicely technical. I know if I feel out of my depth in some of the presentations, then the show hasn't truly lost its technical edge yet. Lets hope they can keep it up.
Now we are off to Defcon (after a pitstop at the blackjack and craps tables to test out some of those risk/reward theories of Bruce's). More on that in a few days.

— Chrysler is recalling over 349,000 older-model vehicles for ignition switch problems, although Chrysler says the problem isn't as drastic as ignition switches that inadvertently move out of the "on" position. However, Chrysler is treating it as other ignition switch recalls by warning customers to remove everything from the key.
The affected vehicles are the 2008 Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300, Jeep Commander and Jeep Grand Cherokee. All the vehicles were manufactured before May 12, 2008.
Chrysler says it investigated and found the ignition keys might not return to the "on" position after the key is turned to the "start" position when starting the cars. The automaker said this won't cause the air bags to fail but will cause the windshield defroster and wipers to shut down.
However, Chrysler is not ruling out a chance the key could return to the "accessory" position and cause the vehicle to lose the power brakes, power steering and cause a complete loss of the air bags.
The automaker is aware of one accident but no injuries related to the defect.
Chrysler didn't say when the recall will begin and there was no word concerning what the automaker will do to fix the problem. However, customers are advised to remove everything from the key and always make sure the key is in the "on" position after starting the vehicle.
CarComplaints.com will update the recall information once it's available from Chrysler or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Read complaints submitted to CarComplaints.com about the vehicles named in the ignition switch recall:

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Macintosh Computers' started by mashinhead, Jul 14, 2004.
I know cos i tried. My ipod mini took a dip and i want to know if anything is salvigable. Parts etc.
My sympathies for the deceased.
It kinda depends on the type of swim if anything is salvagable. Even if you can get any parts from it, I don't know what you'd do with them. Individually they have very little value (except the battery I guess). You could send it back to Apple and just tell them that it stopped working without telling them why. That would probably be illegal, but I know plenty of people that still do it.
Let it dry for at least a week after shaking all the water out. Then try to power it up to see. Don't do it until then or else it will proabably be fried for sure.
Good luck
Yeah, until they crack the case and water drips out.
That's my suggestion as well.
My mother dropped her cellphone in a glass of Pepsi, and It still worked... for a while. But, it was under warranty, so a replacement was covered. Had she taken it in wet, she would have been out of luck. Not a true "defect" it was user-error. But after a while, the Pepsi residue was gone so there was no trace of error.
Cell Phone Mishaps
I know from experience (a rather expensive experience) that some of the newer cell phones have a small water-detector-pad-thingy under the battery, that changes color when it is exposed to water. That is, if you drop it in water (which is not covered by warranty), your friendly neighborhood cell phone salesman can quickly check the reason for your phone's sudden demise...
...Not at Best Buy they don't, at least.
There was something in the Palm Graveyard at Palminfocenter.com about a guy who carefully disassembled and cleaned his Palm after dropping it in a lake, then let it dry out and put it back together. Amazingly enough, it worked fine.
This wouldn't apply, though, if the device was operating while wet, which would probably cause electrical damage of some kind.
my cell phone went swimming in the keg bucket at my 4th of july party, and that was the end of that... kinda sad. definitely much more replaceable than the mini...
I'm sorry to hear that, drying it out and seeing if it works is often the answer, although if it went swimming in something sugary you really need to wash it out!
I guess returning it and saying you have no idea why it broke may be worth a try, if you are so inclined. The worse thing for this approach is that it may push back my iPod mini order
Try and get a hold of the MacAddict article about disassembling the iPod Mini, you may be able to salvage the HD and the battery, or if your lucky you can clean the mini out and it might work again. Oh if your HD works its worth quite a bit, I have seen 4GB mini drives going for several hundred dollars.
I know of a lot of stories about electronics that have been flooded and then dried and still work. If you dropped your iPod into salt water or anything other than clean fresh water, you will probably want to wash it out with fresh water. Dont even think about trying to turn the thing on until it has dried for a long time.
i dropped my 3G 15gb iPod in the toilet with the backlight on and it was fine! lol! It scared the sh*t out of me! its still works till this day. The iPod (not mini) is as close to water prof as u can get on an mp3 player.
If it never comes back...
You could try to do the dell $100 towards a Dell Jukebox 15 GB. Sell it on ebay for ~$170 and get yourself $70 towards a new mini.
ipod saved
i almost had that with my ipod! i caught it just in time. now even exposing my ipod to a little drop of rain frightens everything out of me, believe me the ipod grows so close to a person you will do everything to save it.
Also just thought of something. If you have a oven with a warming draw, most of them have a low setting of 80 degrees, which falls within the non operating tempreture for the ipod. I would "warm" it up a bit, since we are in summer, depending on where you are located, and what the humidity is, letting it just dry out may take awhile. Couldn't hurt, but this is just a suggestion...
If you can get it into an arco'ed room, it dries a lot quicker. Also, get it open, and dry he parts noy attached from each other!
The iPod Minis technically have a 4 gig Compactflash HD ("Microdrive") as I remember. I also remember someone mentioning that there has been little success using this hard drive in digital cameras, but it's a possibility, if it still works, that is...
It has a 1" HDD in it, but I don't see why that matters.
Anyway, I wouldn't just wait for it to dry. I would disassemble it, wait for a week or more for it to dry (not just visibly dry....but longer than that if possible), and trying again. I would wipe it down first if there was stuff in the water.
Neither does a lot of people. What's your point? That you have too much money?
Slightly off topic, I hear that Gameboys are crazy-sturdy too. I've read/heard stories of people finding a Gameboy in their front yard that went through an entire winter that worked perfectly fine afterward.
try putting it in front of a dehumdifier to suck out the water
I dropped my Sanyo 8100 in the river, ran it through the washing machine, and left it in the rain. Each time, I opened it up and sat it in the sun for two days before applying power.
And it still works.
(Now, I have a Treo 600, and I wish I could throw this crappy thing in the river)

Members of Foresters gathered for a photo op after donating 50 cold winter wear kits with toiletries to the Lloydminster Men's Shelter on Dec. 30. SUPPLIED PHOTO
Foresters earned their angel wings for another year in the nick of time.
They did it by donating 50 kits filled with toiletries and winter clothing to the Lloydminster Men's Shelter on a cold Dec. 30 to qualify for another annual funding grant.
Foresters is the trade name of the Independent Order of Foresters (IOF), a fraternal organization based in Toronto Ont. operating under the brand name Foresters Financial.
Its members, including 12 in Lloydminster, can apply for a $2,000 grant each year to support a community cause as they did to purchase the kits.
Barb Berard, the Lloyd group's legacy leader, chose to assist up to 50 men in the shelter with the temperature plummeting in late December.
"We purchased a bunch of supplies like toques and scarves, gloves and blankets and things like that, and put them all in a kit," she said.
"We g ave the kits to Heather Gray and she took them with her—she loved it."
Gray is the executive director at the shelter who distributed kits to men in the shelter numbering 22 at last count, with another 17 kits going to residents of their second stage housing in the Homes for All program.
"That gave us a few extra and we will hand them out as people come in and they need them," said Gray.
Each of the kits includes essential toiletries such as shaving gear, a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Foresters sourced all the goodie bags online from the Bargains Group Ltd., a discount wholesaler of family clothing and related products that Foresters members recommend.
"I gave them a quick email and they gave me a quick phone call back and they handled everything—they bought and shipped everything direct to my door and all l had to do was package it," said Berard.
"The hats are all nice polar fleece and the gloves are heavy nylon gloves and there are polar fleece blankets and thermal socks."
Berard said the local Foresters are hoping to fund at least one, but hopefully, two more projects in 2018.
