August 23, 1986, Saturday
NEW YORK - His last great escape was freeing himself from a straitjacket while hanging upside down from a helicopter over Japan two years ago.
"I can't do that stuff any more though," said James Randi, aka The Amazing Randi. "The audience sees this guy with white hair, a white beard and they say
to themselves, 'Oh that poor old guy, he's going to have a heart attack or something'. . . that kind of takes away from the show."
So just when the Toronto native's life seemed destined to become more sedate, normal even - no more being frozen in a block of ice for 55 minutes or being sealed in a coffin under water for an hour and 44 minutes (Randi holds the Guinness record for these dangerous acts) - along comes the MacArthur Foundation to lay something called a "genius award" on him.
Cash award
It's a prestigious, not to mention lucrative, cash award given each year to 25 people in the United States whose work the foundation's selection committee decides is worth supporting.
Normally, scientists and scholars are so honored. It's also been given to composers and poets. Once the genius-seekers even gave money to a mime. But
Randi is the first recipient whose talent lies in Houdini's venerable realm. He once had himself suspended upside down over Niagara Falls in a strait jacket in the dead of winter. Another time, he called his mother from a coffin sunk in Halifax harbor.
"We never knew quite what to expect from him," said his sister, Angela Easton of Toronto.
It wasn't so much that sort of prowess and daring which impressed the MacArthur selection committee, but rather Randi's work in exposing the magician's sleight of hand others use under the guise of religion. For years, Randi has waged a one-man war against faith healers and evangelists, particularly those who solicit donations over the public air-waves.
Now, with the $272,000 (U.S.) Randi will receive from the foundation over the next five years, he figures he can redouble his attacks upon such "flummery."
That is, if he ever manages to make a great escape from under the media crush.
"This," he sighed, apparently serious, ". . . is this what it's like being famous?"
First there were the satellite dishes on his lawn, then the scads of journalists wanting to broadcast his utterances to places all over North America and even Australia.
It's only natural that his award attracts more than normal interest. "But I can't believe what's been happening," Randi said. "One lady photographer came
and did three pictures, one for People magazine, one for US Magazine and one for Newsweek."
Time had a few paragraphs on him. The Johnny Carson show had already booked him: "I'm in very heavily with Carson," he said, recapping the exposing of
spiritualist table-tipping and Uri Geller spoon-bending techniques he demonstrated on his most recent Tonight Show appearance. One person Randi is out very heavily with is Geller. He calls the Israeli psychic a fraud. But more on that later.
Randi has a hard time confining himself to one conversational topic at a time.
One minute he's regaling you with how bending spoons "is like playing the violin - some people just know how to do these things, but it's all just a trick." The next, he's back talking about life in the fast lane of the talk-show circuit.
Some Chicago radio stations wanted him on the air, so he flew to Chicago. Then his agent in New York called because some New York producers wanted to take him to lunch at a nice Italian place called Tonino on Third Ave. According to Randi, they're thinking of perhaps a six-episode TV special on him, or maybe a two-hour made-for-TV movie. Or possibly even a whole TV series based on his life.
So Randi went to New York. Trouble was, a few days earlier he had agreed to an interview at his home in Fort Lauderdale the same afternoon with a Canadian
reporter, who was flying down from Toronto specifically for that purpose. He didn't cancel that appointment.
"I would have cancelled, but I couldn't remember the reporter's name," he later insisted. But then who said a genius has to be a nice guy?
"You learn in New York that you have to make your needs known, that you can't play shy," he said shortly after strutting ahead of 20 people waiting for taxis at New York's Laguardia airport, where the reporter has finally caught up to him. Dressed in Levis and a casual khaki shirt, this short, stacky man of 57 does not at first appear capable of spiriting a taxi out from under the noses of aggressive New-York travellers, but then the white hair is deceiving, and Randi is, after all, a magician. One quickly senses a Napoleonic air of authority about him. He moves like a small tank.
A few feet behind him, David Pena, a young man of about 20, struggles with three large suitcases. One is bright blue with the name "James Randi - The Amazing Randi" printed on it. Hiring Pena to carry bags, arrange appointments and run errands was one of the first things Randi did with his award money.
He admits with all of that, the small house in Leaside where he grew up seems far, far away. He was Randall Zwinge then, the eldest of three children of a Bell Canada executive and - as he recalls now - something of a "child prodigy . . . when I was nine, I invented a pop-up toaster."
His sister Angela, who is eight years younger, remembers him blowing out the floor of the breakfast room in the process of doing a chemistry experiment in the basement. Other times, when the family would be sitting around listening to a radio program, Randi would suddenly interrupt their reception and that of the whole neighborhood by fooling around on his short-wave radio. "The neighbors used to call and ask him to stop," she said.
Most vivid, however, are her memories of being woken up at 6 a.m. so Randi could try out yet another magic trick on her.
"He was unpredictable . . . you never knew quite what he was going to do," said Sophie Smith, who with her husband Harry ran the Arcade Magic and Novelty Store in the Yonge St. arcade which Randi frequented.
"He was always asking questions, always into things . . . we all liked him."
At 16, he moved temporarily to Montreal with his family and got a job in a test-tube factory. Returning to Toronto at 17, he attended Oakwood Collegiate, where he completed everything but the final exams. "I didn't like one of the questions," he said, "so I decided I wouldn't do it."
'Really bright'
"It was hard for Randi," said Angela. "The family couldn't really understand him. At one point they took him to the Toronto General Hospital for
psychological testing . . . all we learned was that he was really bright." His IQ, it turned out, was 168.
Shortly after dropping out of school, Randi broke his back when he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. The accident forced him to spend 13 months in a body cast. During this time, he read magic books, fiddled with locks and practised illusions. Though the doctors never expected he would walk again, Randi surprised them.
He went straight from the sick bed to the stage, or rather to the small carnival where for two summers he was a black-turbaned Prince Ibis in tours of Ontario and Quebec.
It was during one of these tours that Randi's career took a definitive turn. One night in Quebec city, he met two policemen who recognized him, showed him a pair of handcuffs and asked: "Can you get out of these?"
"I got in the squad car one side and came out the other with them off. The policemen were totally amazed. So they took me to the jail and I showed them that I could break out of a cell."
The jailbreak made headlines in the papers and Randi's career as an escape artist was launched. Over the years he has broken out of 28 jail cells in Canada and the United States. He had himself put underwater in a sealed casket for an hour and 44 minutes - breaking the late and famous Harry Houdini's record of one hour and 31 minutes set on Aug. 5, l926.
He also freed himself from a strait-jacket as he hung by his heels five storeys above Broadway. Somewhere along the way he had become The Amazing Randi because "nobody could pronounce or remember Zwinge."
In the late l950s, his offers of work began to come more and more frequently from the United States. He did TV shows called It's Magic and Wonderama. Within
a short time, he took up residence in New York and later in New Jersey. He now lives alone in a cluttered two-storey, four-bedroom house in a new development just west of Fort Lauderdale called Sunrise.
The United States "offered me more opportunities than I could have had in Canada," he said.
As his feel for magic deepened, he became more and more interested in the way it can be used for deception.
"I have 45 file drawers filled with everything from dowsing to vampires to psychic surgery: "Did you know that Peter Sellers died because he went to the
psychic surgeons in the Philippines rather than have a heart operation?" Randi asked. "These so-called surgeons are just charlatans, frauds, it's been proven that they claim to 'heal' people by extracting things like chicken livers, cigarette filters, even recording tape, out of their bodies . . . and people fall for it."
Gradually, Randi began giving talks on such subjects and pretty soon the talks became more popular and lucrative than his magic shows.
"I started to say what am I doing? Two girls in net stockings and a van full of rabbits and everything like that. What am I doing travelling with all this crap when carrying an attach case it just means showing up at the airport and they pick me up I do the thing and get on the plane and come back and get exactly the same money. And not only that, but I'm accomplishing something. I come away with the feeling that even if I didn't convince anybody I made them know there is an alternate point of view available to them."
His meeting with Uri Geller in l972 provided added incentive to do more such investigation.
"I could see that Geller's techniques of misdirection were pretty crude," said Randi who wrote a book exposing Geller titled The Truth About Uri Geller.
"I thought this guy was going nowhere. I was absolutely wrong. I didn't realize the naivet of the scientific world. Their careers were going down the drain because of all this. One scientist, a metallurgist, wrote a paper backing Geller's claims that he could bend metal. The scientist shot himself after I showed him how the key bending trick was done."
Another of Geller's deceptions is the old change-the-time trick, continues Randi taking the watch off the wrist of a female producer seated at the restaurant.
He has each person at the table note that the watch reads 2:25 p.m., then he places it on her palm.
"Geller would say 'change' but I'll say brocolli or zucchini with hollondaise sauce," said Randi to the amusement of onlookers.
He then picked up the watch which, to everyone's amazement, read 1:25 p.m.
"How did you do that," someone asked.
"Very well, I thought," he replied.
He is equally secretive about his plan of attack for "disassembling and exposing the flummery" of a group of TV evangelists.
"It works better if they don't know who you are," he said, adding that he sometimes conducts on-the-scene investigations while wearing a disguise, which
includes a dark beard, dark contact lenses a wig and, of course, the appropriate cane and limp.
Randi has been "healed" by some of the big names in the business, including Peter Popoff who broadcasts healing sessions continent-wide from Upland
California. Popoff, whom Randi refers to as a "squeaky-voiced preacher," also solicits donations from the public to purchase and send bibles to the Soviet Union. His goal: $3 million. There's also W. V. Grant and Ernest Angley. Grant broadcases his show Dawn of New Day from His Eagle's Nest cathedral in Dallas and his show reaches viewers of 300 TV stations across the continent. Angley broadcasts the Ernest Angley Hour and the Ninety and Nine Club throughout the United States, in parts of Canada, the Philippines and Africa. His Grace Cathedral is in Akron, Ohio, where he also owns a TV station.
Why go after Popoff, Grant and Angley rather than the more widely known evangelists like Pat Robertson, Herbert Armstrong and Billy Graham? The former are more accessible and their claims of healing are more specific than any of the others, said Joseph Barnhart of North Texas State University, one of a group of investigators including Paul Kurtz, editor of Free Inquiry magazine, in Buffalo who has recently been working with Randi on the investigations.
So far, they've found lots of tricks, but no evidence of anyone having been healed.
The most blatant deception occurs at Popoff sessions where before mass healings, Popoff's wife circulates among the audience gathering information from various individuals. Then, when her husband is on stage, she relays the information to him via a mini-receiver and an earphone.
Other evanglists may not use this technique but they do such things as having those attending services fill out donation cards listing their problem, then
line up and present the cards. The evangelist simply memorizes the names and faces and later calls them out. In some cases, they provide able-bodied people
with wheelchairs from which they later rise apparently cured.
The "healers" Randi observes, also usually choose people with either psychosomatic ailments which "by their very nature are going to be susceptible to the ministrations of the faith healers" or those who have such things as arthritic conditions, diabetes or heart trouble, all of which are afflictions
which may appear to improve.
False witness
"Even those who return home to discover that they have not recovered will bear false witness," said Randi. "I tracked down one person that Grant advertised as having kept a healing of diabetes. He insisted he was healed and that he had been healed for two years. Only by careful questioning did I learn that he knew his doctor would deny that he no longer had diabetes. And he admitted that he
was still taking his insulin although he 'knew' it was only a matter of time before he would give that up."
Some of the people who come to these meetings are just doing it for a social occasion, Randi said, "but it's the others. It's the parents you see crying at the elevator because they couldn't get their child anywhere near the healer that make me want to expose it.
"At one of Popoff's sessions there was this Oriental kid on crutches with his legs all twisted around. A filmmaker there asked him: 'Why are you here?'
" 'To see Popoff, he can heal me,' the boy replied.
"But the boy never made it anywhere near the front. At the end of the session the filmmaker saw him with tears streaming down his face."
The TV evangelists, meanwhile, are living in style. There is no way of knowing how much Popoff raises, (because TV evangelists are considered charitable
organizations they do not have to make their donations public) but it's in the millions of dollars a year. An estimated 30 per cent comes from Canadians, Randi said, "and people don't really know what they're paying for."
Randi wants to change all that. He has written extensively on Popoff, Grant and Angley for the Buffalo-based Free Inquiry magazine. He went on the Tonight Show with a videotape showing how Popoff works.
At one point, he and his co-workers even handed out flyers at a Popoff session detailing how Popoff performs his "miracles."
"Popoff announced that these were the work of the devil and that everyone should crumple them up and throw them in the aisles. But no one did . . . and his congregation has dropped off by one third in Chicago and Philadelphia, because of it. Randi, meanwhile, is writing it all down in a book.
None of this impresses the evangelists - Popoff calls him "a dried-up old magician," Grant refers to him as a "bald runt of a bearded magician who goes on late night talk shows." But the Chicago-based MacArthur Foundation believes their money will be well used.
Randi was selected from among "hundreds of candidates nominated by a group of anonymous leaders in the arts, sciences and humanities. Then, a 13-member selection committee which is also anonymous, chose the recipients on the basis of their creativity, dedication, need of money and the benefit of their work to society.
"He is our most interesting selection," said Foundation secretary Ruth Ordonez, adding that he was nominated by three different people from different parts of the country. The award has no strings attached. The foundation asks for no
reports, no accountings of how it's to be spent.
"We know of his background and think his work will benefit society," said Ordonez.
"Randi has more insight into how people can deceive others and themselves than almost anyone else alive," said Ken Frazier, echoing her praise. Frazier is an editor who works on the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of
the Paranormal, (CSICOP) which Randi helped found in l976, This group sees no evidence that anything even vaguely paranormal really exists.
They can't even buy the evidence. For the last 22 years, Randi has carried with him a cheque for $10,000 to be given to anyone who can prove a paranormal occurrence. Even a healing would count. To date, 600 people have applied; 75 have submitted to Randi's scientific testing. Randi still has the cheque.
"The media," said Randi with disdain. "That's the reason people tend to believe in all this. The media haven't bothered to differentiate between fact and
fiction; if a boat is lost in the Bermuda triangle and found six hours later because they never took off in the first place (the media) never bother to
report the finding because it's a non-story.
Religious teaching, however, is equally to blame, he said. "People have also been raised to have religious beliefs with no evidence whatsoever except it's in this book . . . why shouldn't people believe something else for which there is no evidence?"
Santa Claus
Though raised an Anglican, Randi now has no religious affiliation and compares believing in God to believing in Santa Claus. As for life after death: "I figure this is all there is . . . and I'm going to make the best of it," he said.
Thanks to the MacArthur Foundation, that "best" includes expanding his computer system, enlarging his office, writing more articles, giving talks: "I've got so many bookings, it's amazing."

Carol Burnett, the trailblazing comedienne whose variety show was a top draw on CBS for over a decade, was named the winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Tuesday.
Burnett, 80, will receive the award in an Oct. 20 in a ceremony to be broadcast Oct. 30 on PBS.
"It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington," said the star, who clearly hasn't lost her sense of humor, in a written statement.
Despite a career that spans Broadway, film and television, Burnett remains best known for "The Carol Burnett Show," which ran from 1967 to 1978. The variety program, with a cast of regular players that included Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, was known for its pop-culture parodies, Burnett's many recurring characters and the frequently over-the-top costumes by designer Bob Mackie.
Burnett went on to appear as the boozy Miss Hannigan in the 1982 film version of "Annie" and in a supporting role in the '90s NBC sitcom "Mad About You."
David Rubenstein, chairman of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which hands out the prize, praised Burnett in a statement: "From her television program and appearances, as well as her performances on Broadway and in film, Carol Burnett has entertained generations of fans with her vibrant wit and hilarious characters."
According to the Kennedy Center, the prize is awarded to "people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens" — a.k.a. Mark Twain, for those of you who weren't paying attention in ninth-grade English class.
Burnett was also a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 for her lifetime contributions to American culture.
Previous Mark Twain honorees include Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and Ellen DeGeneres.

LINCOLN — Tory Riley cannot stop smiling.
"I love this," the principal of the Lincoln Community School said last week during a tour of the school. "I flip a switch, and the heating works!"
After six years of planning and $2 million in budgeted renovations, Lincoln Community School has invited the community to come through its newly finished doors this Thursday to celebrate the completion of its historic facility during is annual open house.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen met behind closed doors on Oct. 9 to discuss the final few choices for a police station site, and there also heard from City Manager Mel Hawley that a station that meets all the criteria Police Chief George Merkel gave to aldermen earlier this year would probably cost more than $2 million.
MIDDLEBURY — Burlington Republican Jack McMullen has perhaps best been known in Vermont's political circles for having been unable to identify the correct number of teats on a cow when put on the spot by his irrepressible U.S. Senate GOP primary opponent Fred Tuttle in 1998.
Fourteen years later, McMullen himself is chuckling about that legendary misstep and is touting his credentials as a candidate for Vermont attorney general, a post he hopes to wrest from longtime Democratic incumbent Bill Sorrell.
VERGENNES — The annual Vergennes Union High School senior class fall charity walk-a-thon, which concluded atop Mount Philo on Oct. 9, raised more than $3,000 to help an Athens, Ga., resident with connections to Vermont in her battle with a rare form of bone cancer.
Keri Kinsel, 27, was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma in January, and has undergone treatments since then. Doctors at the nonprofit Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., say that a bone marrow treatment more common in Europe will help prevent the cancer from returning to Kinsel.

Normally, an armed attack on an American diplomatic installation abroad and the death of four American officials in that attack would evoke unanimity in our domestic political structure. This time in Libya it has not.
But, wait, it's election time, and anything that either party can do between now and the November elections to humiliate or undermine the opposition is fair game for the politicos.
BRISTOL — Bristol will hold its third crime forum at Mount Abraham Union High School this Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 7-9 p.m. While the last two forums, in July and September, focused on providing information to the community, the goal of the third forum is to hone in on potential steps forward. A steering committee has been formed, and met last week to plan the agenda.
BRANDON — A few keys plays could have made all the difference, but Otter Valley football ended up being outplayed by Burr & Burton on Saturday with the Bull Dogs rolling to a 60-25 victory in Brandon.
The Otters, helmed by talented sophomore OV quarterback John Winslow, repeatedly tried to get successful drives going, but often were unable to convert on fourth down and were forced to punt.
Talented quarterback Jake Stalcup and backs Eric Cerra and Chris Redding carried the Bulldogs.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School field hockey team got off to a promising start in Friday's Senior Day game against visiting Mount Mansfield, but it was the Cougars who made the most of their scoring chances in what ended up as a 5-1 contest.
The Tigers controlled play for most of the first 20 minutes, earned four first-half penalty corners to the Cougars' one, and forced Cougar coach Paige Manning into calling a timeout at 20:28 to rally her troops.

Independent Foreclosure Review Engagement Letters
Below are links to engagement letters submitted by the independent consultants, retained by servicers regulated by the OCC, who will be conducting foreclosure reviews pursuant to the requirements of the April 13, 2011 consent orders. The engagement letters describe how the independent consultants will conduct their file reviews and claims processes to identify borrowers who suffered financial injury as a result of servicer deficiencies identified in the OCC's consent orders.
Limited proprietary and personal information has been redacted from the engagement letters. Examples of information that has been redacted include, but are not limited to: names, titles and biographies of individuals; proprietary systems information; references to specific bank policy; fees and costs associated with the engagement; and specific descriptions of past work performed by the independent consultants.
Since the acceptance of the engagement letters in September of this year, the independent consultants have further refined and made adjustments to the processes, procedures, and methodologies outlined in the engagement letters in consultation with OCC supervision staff. Therefore, in many cases the review processes being implemented may differ in some respects from those described in the engagement letters because of subsequent coordination with the OCC. In particular, there were a number of changes made to integrated claims process to ensure a single, uniform process among the servicers.
Pursuant to 12 C.F.R. § 4.12(c), the disclosure of the engagement letters at the OCC's election has no precedential significance.

In an effort to curb global climate change, policy makers and scientists agreed in 2010 that the total levels of CO2 emissions should not exceed 350 parts per million. That magic number would still lead to an average planet-wide temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius, but it would at least stave off the worst effects from a warming planet. But with CO2 levels surpassing 400 parts per million for several days last month according to data collected at a Hawaiian monitoring station, politicians are being urged this week to draft a backup plan at their meeting in Bonn, Germany. The authors of a new study from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs are urging UN envoys to establish a new target that would be more realistic in light of recent discoveries.
The report is scheduled to be released today in an effort to provide practical guidelines for those attending the two weeks of talks in Bonn.
"Since a target that is obviously unattainable cannot fulfill either a positive symbolic function or a productive governance function, the primary target of international climate policy will have to be modified," said Oliver Geden, lead author of the paper.
It asserts that the original goals of keeping the world's levels of CO2 under 350 ppm are unrealistic and have yet to create meaningful policies. Leader will have to accept the 2 degree increase as a benchmark to be surpassed and new legislation drafted in light of a sobering reality.
"If the EU wants to maintain its role as a global leader in climate policy, it will have to investigate all options for target modification as soon as possible — even those that seem politically unappealing," Geden remarked in the study.
Temperatures have already risen 0.8 degrees since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The World Bank stated that the planet was headed towards a 4 degree increase, one that would bring about "cataclysmic changes" in the form of severe weather, food shortages, rising seas, and climate refugees. A report by the UN Environment Program in November asserted that current pledges to keep greenhouse gasses are not enough to keep nations from reaching and passing the 2 degree threshold.
Efforts to raise the 2 degree mark will undoubtedly be met with dissatisfaction from the 49 Least Developed Counties and 52 AOSIS group of island nations who have already seen the worst impacts of climate change befall their populations. As the talks progress, it remains to be seen whether the suggestion to allow for a new target is a pragmatic decision, or one that countries will again feel they can ignore.

No. 19 Colorado Rockies: 12th in a series counting down to spring training: Next: Royals
Like Cowboys and Indians in the front yard, baseball is a kid's game. But sometimes, once every million or so encounters, that's not a cap gun the batter has in his hand. It's a loaded weapon, and it can be deadly.
Only every now and then, generally after a near-tragedy, does anyone think about the real-life risks of the sport. But there are people around the Rockies who will think twice when their own children step into a batter's box or onto a pitching rubber.
When the Rockies went to the World Series in 2007, their players quietly voted a full share to someone who...

Snapper Judgment
keys made of poo
tap the glass all you want, theres no glass behind me.
Hello NPR, i'll with hold my name for my employments sake. But I'm here to tell you the most spooky story. Still happening live as we speak. Or, you speak. If you read this. I'm not going to read this, maybe you can get James to read it. Its a story of mental disorder, maybe. Or the fight against it. Maybe a story of encouraged mental sickness of delusion. Maybe a story of pompous power demanding control with a god complexed persistence, 24 hours a day. Maybe sickening, maybe callusing my soul. But with my right to express the truth today we will delve into the bowels of my brain and help resolve this inssesent torture.
I live and work in the land of tourism far into the wilderness catering to the whims and needs of the traveler. All walks of life away from their homes, busy business streets, tall buildings, and round about work weeks. All year, every year, bus loads of tours, have with cameras strapped and fascinated by squirrels, tourists scampering off their busses and enjoying the scenery and wild life of a seasoned nature. Enjoying life and surreal camping I can imagine the real relief that the wild outdoors offers compared to the sapping stressors in the cities. The company provides housing and the small community of employees has its own culture of life with local schools and community fairs. Many of the employees here have lived here for years, far from the fast paced stop lit roads. Others have found their way through troubling pasts and are jumping on second chances. Its simple work, the life in the tourism industry. With lazy winters for the ones that stay on passed the summers as the kids go back to school, or seasonal jobs else where beckoning.
I myself have stayed. I seclude myself year round far in the wild. Im at peace. Im tranquil compared to when i lived in the cities.
Lets start in the city. With whiling bouts of how to deal with situations I'd drink my self to fits and have ragging tantrums silent enough to be curtious to my neighbors. I'm convinced I'm hearing voices in my head. I'm convinced they aren't voices made up in my head and they are people yelling things at my window. I turn my computer on and a writing program and I would write back to the people yelling. And sure enough there is now some sort of communication. Its no longer voices in my head. Its voyeuring people that can yell at my window as i write to them live. (Pause…a moment from the story to expose the culprit voyeur, or my actual delusion...As i write this in the middle of getting back from work, i hear outside my window the entire neighborhood directing noise pollution at my window. …my neighbors are yelling at my window…the typical back and forth with my voyeuring neighbors goes something like this over the course of a half an hour these are my written responses to the voices in my head, or the voyeuring neighbors….."I don't need your share people. I'm sure. i'll find good people . then thats your thing.ill find my thing. your not with me. i won't touch you. you can't touch me. i move on. enjoy your game while you can. then i waste it. and i turn down opportunity in life.. your not in my life and i'll make sure. its my life, not yours. im not interested…you guys succeeded in hurting me again. i don't want to know her. keep hurting me year after year.. i don't want you in my life, I'm not your rapper. I've got needs too people…you won't speak to me…Ill pay for attention thats very nice. your not in my future james…your a part of this now…enjoy your roll. your not in my future.. i don't like what you try…i'll stay away from you. cheat all you want, you people disgust me, stay away. ok. thats what your try accomplishes…stay away from me. .laugh. you take my time now. Then i lost rabbit. Im working on my future . there was nothing in rap but games for you to try and make me mad. you never cared to know me. four years here. you may not have my time in the future. expect that. i'll stay despite you. i did. your game ends. i don't watch the movies you've been making. i won't watch the girls you put in porno. i move on and find good friends and family. i never except your apologies and we move on. i never except your apologies and we move on. yes. yes. I'm fine with that. I didn't need her or them in my life. no. go away. no. and now i won't let you have the chance to respect me. At this particular moment they are having a hay day and are amping the harassment up several knotches so they'll say a specific girls name over and over. But when its calm its maybe every ten minutes that my freedom of thought is distracted. "James got you", Or they say "were sorry". "bad schizophrenic". "your sick". These are obsessed people needing to constantly stir my life dramatically, make me lose my job and have to go back to the city where they can more easily play their games on me. Or they are voices in my head I've boiled it all up as its own rational. )) So, anyway. At this point, before the distraction,….so back in the city, maybe seven years ago, I had been to the doctor. My parents made me. I had flunked out of college nearly a decade prior to this seven, and my parents had watched my health and promise fall. I had gone to the doctor for the same reasons as I would go now. All night long, its as if people yell advice or harassment at my window. " Do this." "Do that". " See her." "*So and so fucked her". "go smoke." In my commute i have stalkers. People follow me. Bother me. Seduce my bosses. Have me fired. When I left this doctor i heard him yell at me as i stepped into the elevator, he called me retarded. The doctor before this was more sympathetic. I was in a much more delicate world of schizophrenia then. I had spent a couple years stuck on a website. It seemed to me that what i wrote on their site in their blogging section would inadvertently be hinted at in the next week somewhere. A bus stop sign, a commercial on t.v. Some how, maybe I had said the word mango, and the paper would have an entire section page on mangos. Movies. Movie titles. At one point Ben Stiller was jumping up and down on the computer in some movie saying "he's stuck in the computer" and slapping it. I was convinced he was talking about me. And he wouldn't piss himself at the movie awards and i was a piss drunk. When i went to see the doctor the first time which was fairly about the website a year after i flunked out of state school and was trying community college I spent a week inside the coo coos nest. Drugged up every day. Cant use your motor skills for the life of you. I remember doing a color by number and keeping inside the lines was impossible. Drooling inoperable mess I was. Throughout the week In the rec room where they let everyone out to watch tv and spend the day roomed, we would hear a girl in the solitary room. Screaming, biting, kicking. They calmed her down. They let her out. She came and sat next to me. We talked. She seemed happy. Less likely to hurt my hearing. I talked with her for hours. I was a trying to convince her to make a break for it with me. Behind the tv was a fire escape that led to the parking lot. I came up with every senerio of us busting through the door and running away in our crazy people smocks. It made her smile. She brought up Eminem. I don't recall what she spoke of him. He's my main issue. I think that I'm Stan from one of his songs. A song about an obsessed fan. I was convinced his lyrics were directed at me. And I was supposed to read the secret messages and respond in rhyme. I did that for a while. maybe a poetry class in community college or a website. Craigslist sometimes. But i got tired. I bounce back to sanity and realize that I'm crazy and every second of delusion is taking away from me opportunity to have a strong future.
So Back to the city in an underground studio i had as an apartment I work every hole in the wall bar in ten miles as a bar cook, before they stopped hiring me. I found a Gay bar that would hire me after half a year of another dry spell. I worked there. Takeing their pants off because hot water was poored down them had to stop. But over all they loved their little straight boy cook and I loved their culture as I had never been exposed. The kitchens Sink in their restaurant had a window that looked across the street to a neighbors house which a couple of young women rented. I got to know one of them and was soon seeing her on a regular basis. Not really able to explain the voices i heard at night, which she sometimes giggled at i would spend time with her until what happens to any of my girl friends. They are taken away by a famous rapper. (FREEZE, this girl in particular has just gotten a job in the remote wilderness near me now, and i don't like it. And i'd like to take a moment to tell her off, if your reading this, National Public Radio. I'll tell her to her face that I'm moving on and i don't need her around. I'm staying because i need the job. And she's not going to take this job from me too. Two days ago in the middle of me writing this, she appears in real life. i don't want her near me. and if she touches me i can't promise i won't break something. The last i saw of her was when the local news channel did a very fast story of catching her at the airport, asked where i was and responded "with his mother". I was probably going to the church for food, where was she going, some famous rappers beach. Seven years ago. She can stay out of my life. That was seven years ago and i need none of her. I'm glad things worked out for her because she got to know me. I learned if i touch them they turn to gold. Anyhow, But she was never there for me and I don't need her thinking that she will be. Not the porno's they put her in, not the powerful people she can find. I've moved two states to get away from her being told what to do. Now I live in an imaginary world away from her and you, another dimension, your gone. Cant think for yourself waste of my time. My delusion. Walking home from work. Im stopped at a stop light and there he is. Mr Popular Power and his bored fancy screeching his tired car passed me as he cave man pulls my girl friends head up from his crotch. The'll make this the super bowl commercial next year. Heads up, I'm not watching any super bowl commercials this year. let my sister cheer lead instead. It was an every day affair. In my mind, they were trying to get me angry to write a really mean rap and express all my emotions they could gloat they caused. At this point a character from high school, we'll call him James. James took off in college and did well. Came back to city life and succeeded in stocks and wall street. But it was expensive to spend time with him after work with the ritzy bars and all night drinking. I slowly weened myself away feeling not necessarily needed as a friend and went off in search of friends that suited my income bracket. In my mind the famous rapper takes James under his wing. I realize this as the voices being yelled at my window are now no longer the small innocent boy i knew in high school but tuned powerful sexual instrument that galavants the entire city in its night. And brandishes it as a coward afar bragging by yelling at my window. Any women I would speak with out and about the day, any woman I got to know the name of, or asked on a date would insure that the night was filled with what James did to her and how she would have nothing to do with me. I understand it as games and power over one another. James had a fascination with it. I couldn't leave my room. When I was fired from the Gay bar because of a broken shoulder I would spend 20 hours at a time in my studio apartment and then race to 7-11 for smokes and wine in the middle of the night….and there they were trying to position their car perfectly as to drive passed me at the exact time in order to show me a penis in a mouth.
Its true. I throw absolute horrific alcoholic fits, just loud enough to not bother my neighbors. On the ground crying. tieing nooses and having the street yell for me to pull it tight. I would calm down and write verbatim what the street was yelling at me so many days, years on end. (Pause, my neighbors just called me "evil" un Pause)) I would try to think about it rationally. How could anyone know where i was when i was. As when I was on a typical walk looking for the next hole in the wall bar to be a cook at, I could whisper to myself and I would hear the same harassment that sounds as if its coming from a block away. Always confident enough to aggravate me but always hidden to thwart retort. I can now communicate with my harassers any where. Why? How? there must be a bug in my fillings. Should I take a tooth out, which one? I didn't know how to stop it. I called James and asked him to stop. He denied. I asked him to meet up with me. He averted. I had sent one threatening text, I had threatened to break his teeth and make a necklace for him. I decided to leave. Get away from him, his pit boss obviously couldn't be in the city everyday, but he could. If I leave the city it would be more difficult for this pompous pussy to bother me, affect my work and life style, and control my life over his god complex of it. So I expanded my resume flinging and landed an amazing job with such beautiful people on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. So far and desolate it was perfect when I arrived. The last to get off a bus, until i was chased from there with side ways whispering or schizophrenic voices. If you support the negative in my life, you are the negative in my life and i had to leave. I spent a summer season with the harassment that would be denied if i confronted them. And the subject wasn't for them to gloat one opinion and not let me have one. So I had to leave because they were voices in my head. So i left there.
fast forward to here. Present day. desolate wilderness. With enough neighbors to hear them yell things at my window pertaining to the story as I write this story. The grocery store announced over the intercom they'd touch my asshole. Because four or five days ago I drank a bottle to much with a creepy neighbor in the courtyard and was fondled to bed. Rape. Its such a wonderful feeling. Iisn't that how people become sick? They are exposed to the sickness. I'll perge myself of this disgusting by staying away from him and these people that read my story live before i've even finished it, as I'll finish it. I feel anger. And I'd hurt the man, but I'd lose my opportunity here in this industry i've worked so hard. I just got a promotion, the night i put myself under with whiskey. The people here have outcast me. I'm Exiled. They are pointless to speak with because if, say they are having a barbaque common plesentrys all around. Talking having beers, But then the only conversation they have amongst themselves just loud enough to harass me, is the condescending support for the group of people that have had such a negative influence on my life for such a long time. And then would denie if i inquired the topic. So real human interaction is null. So four years running i get one sided opinions with no one to proove my arguments to. Its not a subject I would discuss with them anyhow, especily now, as they've chosen sides for years now leaving me in a solitary confinement. A crystal palace. Their personal pinnate faydor with no candy. Its as if my opinion has no value. They are god over me. I need to do what they say. So, all the more healthy, let me get this out of my head and i can concentrate on a profession and career that my neighbors and x friends have all but tried to take away from me. I got a promotion. I high five me. Hey douche bag,, I don't sit with you. I don't roll with you. I'll hurt you if you get near me. Thats pretty much it…thats my creepy story.. below is a list of responses to my voyeurs the entire time I've written this. I've tried to be light hearted about the situation. At work when i hear the voices and the condescending support for the people that had such a negative influence on my life. I have bought a computer animation program and hope to draw a small cartoon of a cook doing all the work while lazy co workers stroll back and forth. The character has taken on the power of illusion and can project images others see as real. Making co-workers butts bigger and giving them bunny ears and such. but I'm drained from creativity. Consumed all day every day. insomniac. I would want to write. I would want to make short fiction stories. But all I can do is write on this subject. The fact I'm schizophrenic. I hear voices. all day, every day. Im watched in the shower. from the moment I get up. Harry Truman Show syndrome. except the audience gets to yell things at him from far away incurring a delusion. I want to escape. The girl in that movie is the best. The guy that brings the beer is a douche bag. I know how the story ends, because I'll write it. Enjoy your roll while you can.
lets all call him James now.
lets try college girls
no, its defense from you.
i would say you had your chance to say stop.
touch less today.
the best part . is you'll be in the story….i'll even let you guys say stuff…when we get to that part….
these will be the credits…
you people are stupid
these are my girl friends, you can pick and choose in an interactive control over me.
you can be real little and stand on my shoulders
you speak like a god projecting the future. ZAP!
I've got needs too, want to show me your tits? didn't think so
so then put your ideas away
can you do my laundry? don't just answer…do it.
no thank you
just send those people in so i can tell them I'm done, and they need to stay out of my life
try telling me I'm voyeured
im not interested
not interested.
women will learn not to do that if I'm to be attracted.
then he's it.
im moving on where you don't have to be it
she's with them, let it go people
write what…
hows this end?
be as smart as you want.
your not in my future.
like it all you want, i don't roll with you
yes i pee my pants, did you want me to do that right now?
apology never accepted.
when are you done?
and why do i have an uncontrollable urge to say that
oh, I'm bad to rap?
poor fucking rap
you take my freedom of thought away.
i don't care, go away
poof-your butts fat

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have brought veteran tighthead Duncan Bell out of retirement to bolster their pack for Sunday's RaboDirect Pro12 encounter with Glasgow, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 39-year-old ex-England front row forward will start against the title-chasing Warriors at Rodney Parade (kick-off 2.30pm) with former Scotland international Bruce Douglas, who is on loan from Bristol, on the bench.
The Dragons are without a recognised tighthead because Nathan Buck is ill, Dan Way has a back problem and Francisco Chaparro is banned until April 27 following his dismissal for a tip tackle against Leinster.
Bell, who played for Ebbw Vale and Pontypridd before become a legend with Bath, last took to the field at the top level two years ago and has since been coaching Lydney.
"I am very excited but also a little nervous," said Bell. "I have not played a game at this level for a long time. But I felt OK in training and this is a great opportunity I cannot turn down.
"I am eternally grateful to both my employers Chartwell Funding and Lydney for their support. They have both been so accommodating."
Cross Keys' Rhys Jones makes his first Pro12 start for the Dragons at full-back because of the unavailability of Dan Evans (suspension), Hallam Amos and Tom Prydie (both ankle injuries).
Andrew Coombs is released by Wales to captain the side from lock against a Glasgow side that have won all of their away games in the Pro12 this season.
Eleven of the visitors' players feature for Scotland against Italy in Rome but the fourth-placed outfit are bolstered by overseas stars Josh Strauss, Niko Matawalu, Jerry Yanuyanutawa and Leone Nakarawa.
"Glasgow have really come on in the last couple of years and have understood what it takes to become a good Pro12 side," said Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones.
"They have got their squad structure right – they produce players for Wales and their overseas players are available at crucial times – and that is reflected in where they are in the table."
The Dragons did, however, triumph 23-8 in Glasgow last November.
Dragons: R Jones, M Pewtner, P Leach, A Smith, W Harries, J Tovey, R Rees, O Evans, R Thomas, D Bell, A Coombs (captain), C Hill, J Groves, N Cudd, L Evans. Replacements: H Gustafson, P Price, B Douglas, M Screech, I Jones, W Evans, D Jones, R Wardle.
Glasgow: R Jackson, L Jones, R Vernon, M Bennett, B McGuigan, F Russell, N Matawalu, J Yanuyanutawa, D Hall, M Cusack, L Nakarawa, J Gray, R Harley, T Holmes, J Strauss (captain). Replacements: F Brown, G Reid, J Welsh, T Ryder, J Eddie, H Pyrgos, F Niua, R Hughes.

Wanted to pass along the official link for Informix Ultimate Warehouse Edition
That of course is the standard marketing story. The key piece being added to this edition is
For those of you who also follow DB2/Z this is effectively the Smart Analytics Optimizer for Informix. The above link is to our documentation on the product.
I've had the opportunity to work with members of my own team in the Accelerated Value Program on the Ultimate Warehouse edition for the last month. It can be made transparent to the application developer and Flat out flies. Once setup and enabled IWA has generated, for my team so far, a performance improvement of more than 66 times the speed of the same informix query when not accelerated. That query had already been significantly improved because of the Star/Snowflake support in the Optimizer added in 11.70.FC1. Essentially IWA has turned the OLAP/ROLAP queries we were running into ROLAP/OLAP queries with OLTP response time.
If you noticed above, possibly the best part of this is that it is transparent to the application, so if you are using IBM Cognos, or any other Business Intelligence type of tool, you just have to request the DBA to turn IWA on for you, you don't have to get any special "IWA aware" tool to use the product.
I will definitely talk more about the IWA as I have time and am allowed. For those of us that have to write against and Use warehouses or Data marts, this is a big deal.

Scott Purcell Joins NCSF Board
August 25, 2009 - NCSF is proud to announce the addition of a new board member, Scott Purcell. Purcell has been in the internet industry since the inception of the browser, founding Epoch Networks in 1994, one of the original 7 network firms that formed what we now call the Internet. During this time Purcell also served on the Board of the Commercial Internet Exchange and was the liaison to Congress and the FCC for the Clinton administration. Purcell has founded numerous other ventures, including OnAir Networks (music streaming), Web Biographies (life journals & family trees), Browsercast (search distribution) and Kasidie.com (swingers social network).
Purcell has appeared before Congress on numerous occasions on behalf of the internet industry and as a retained consultant for the Recording Industry Association of America.

This includes established enterprises as well as people just starting new ventures that ask for help with promotions and sponsorships.
"I am passionate about this lifestyle that we all lead (by "lifestyle" I refer to "adventurous sexuality", not just swinging) and believe that the NCSF can and should be a major factor in working to ensure the civil liberties on a local and larger scale basis," says Purcell. "With my business, non-profit and political experience I can contribute to this fight."

Some people say "Reverse Engineering is an art". Well, this might be true if you consider stuff like mathematics as art. It is more an application of standard methods that evolve constantly. Actually, everybody can learn these methods and start to RE executables. With the RE-Google plugin for IDA Pro, even your granny can start reversing :)
Reverse engineering is like solving a jigsaw puzzle. In order to see the whole picture you need to find the corner pieces, then the frame, and then work your way forward from there. The corner pieces for reversing are strings, constants and function names. The function names that people normally start with are the one's imported from shared libraries (e.g. Dlls). Strings contain human readable hints about the functionality. Specific constants add more clues to solve the puzzle or can sometimes even be used to identify certain (types of) algorithms. The imported functions tell about the actions performed by it.
The major problem is that a lot of experience is needed to identify strings, constants or to know what the combination of imported functions may result in. But why don't we use the combined knowledge of many people in order to get this expertise. Google allows to search for this.
Google code search is very valuable when trying to find algorithms or code excerpts that contain this information. Often the few results you see on one page can already tell you what the function might be doing.
This plugin enumerates all functions and extracts strings, constants (also called immediate values), and the names of imported functions. If there is sufficient data, a Google Code search is performed and the result is added to the IDA database as function comment. Reviewing these comments sometimes turns the analysis of the considered function unnecessary and saves time.
Example A:
Example B:
Example C:
Some functions like the following only get a single result:
Example D:
Enough examples... Try it out yourself :)

OMG this is awesome im glad i found this site! Just wanted to say hello im Nate im 16 I have watched the reds over and over and never miss a game My mom always gets a little eh when im like mom game starts in like 5 mins hurry! lol Last year was a break through for me i went to 10 reds game and i was 8 for 10! I couldnt believe i saw 8 wins! Including the amazing openning day win!
Welcome Nate and all others I have missed!! I think you will enjoy it around here
I'm a columbus native, born and raised. All of my family is from Akron, even distant relatives. They are obviously Indian's fans, and I was for a while as well growing up. However, I always rooted for the reds and when I got my license, I started driving down I-71S to Cincinnati and got hooked. I live in Vermont for the time being, and I'm moving to New Zealand in August, so I won't be able to catch the end of the season no matter how good the reds do, but i'm figuring that even if they start great, we're going to see mid season trades for prospects to shore up the mess that is this organization.
I just want to add that I am a pretty big Krivsky supporter and have high hopes that things are going to be turned around pretty quick for this team and for the organization long term.
Hey CB, there's a Cincinnati native working in Crow Books up there in Burlington, so don't feel alone up there.
Hey CB, if you buy the Reds MLB package for 14.95 and you should be able to catch the Reds on your computer, even in New Zealand. And I believe you can watch them any time you want to, even after the original game has been played so the time difference shouldn't hurt you.
Welcome to Redszone.

Long time reader, first time poster.
I've been a Reds fan since 2003, when coincidentally enough I took in my first Reds game in the first year of the GABP. I was on a vacation with some of my co-workers and we visited several ballparks, including Cincinnati.
I'm also a longtime Texas Rangers fan, and I adopted the Reds as my National League team.
Went back to GABP in 2004 to see the Reds play the Rangers. For the first time, I actually rooted against the Rangers. Home team rules, you see, because an avid fan told me that you never cheer in another team's ballpark. Best of all, the Reds swept the three-game series.
I live in Fort Smith, Arkansas, a town on the western edge of the state right on the Oklahoma border. I've actually met a few Reds fans since I've been here, believe it or not. We need more Reds fans to offset the large number of Cardinal fans in this area, most of whom are pretty irritating if you ask me.
Glad to finally be on board at RedsZone, and I look forward to interacting with you fellow Reds fans.
"And this one belongs to the Reds."
Hey Everyone!!!
Happy Opening Day to you all! I'm Amber from Northern Kentucky! I'm planning on heading down to the ballpark here in a bit... I'm 22 years old. I look forward to chatting with you all!!
Greetings, newbies. Columbusbrian, I'm in Akron right now. Lived in Cuyahoga Falls for many years, left for a while, then moved to Stow a few years back.

Previous: Search view, Up: Built-in agenda views
If you are following a system like David Allen's GTD to organize your work, one of the "duties" you have is a regular review to make sure that all projects move along. A stuck project is a project that has no defined next actions, so it will never show up in the TODO lists Org mode produces. During the review, you need to identify such projects and define next actions for them.
org-stuck-projects to define what a stuck
project is and how to find it.
You almost certainly will have to configure this view before it will work for you. The built-in default assumes that all your projects are level-2 headlines, and that a project is not stuck if it has at least one entry marked with a TODO keyword TODO or NEXT or NEXTACTION.
Let's assume that you, in your own way of using Org mode, identify projects with a tag PROJECT, and that you use a TODO keyword MAYBE to indicate a project that should not be considered yet. Let's further assume that the TODO keyword DONE marks finished projects, and that NEXT and TODO indicate next actions. The tag @SHOP indicates shopping and is a next action even without the NEXT tag. Finally, if the project contains the special word IGNORE anywhere, it should not be listed either. In this case you would start by identifying eligible projects with a tags/todo match1 '+PROJECT/-MAYBE-DONE', and then check for TODO, NEXT, @SHOP, and IGNORE in the subtree to identify projects that are not stuck. The correct customization for this is
(setq org-stuck-projects '("+PROJECT/-MAYBE-DONE" ("NEXT" "TODO") ("@SHOP") "\\<IGNORE\\>"))
Note that if a project is identified as non-stuck, the subtree of this entry will still be searched for stuck projects.

Be Part of The Swingers Clubs in New YorkSex clubs are clubs where people can have sexual intercourse with one another in public areas. The term can also be used more generally to refer to establishments such as a gay bathhouse where sexual activity often takes place in private rooms. Larger establishments may also include the facilities of an ordinary nightclub such as a bar and a dance floor.
Sex clubs differ from brothels in that, while Sex club customers pay a fee to enter the club, they have Sex with other customers rather than with staff of the establishment. Some sex clubs cater exclusively to male/female couples, others to gay men or lesbians. Some clubs do not make any restrictions on the sexuality of their clients.
Typical sex clubs also differ from gay bathhouses in that they do not have private rooms, and all sexual activity must take place in the open. In an effort to curb the spread of sexually transmitted infections, some jurisdictions have banned bathhouses, with their private rooms, while allowing sex clubs, where sexual activity can be monitored to ensure that safe sex guidelines are being followed.
Most U.S. sex clubs do not serve alcohol, but some allow customers to bring their own. Some sex clubs have formal membership and requirements that can include membership fees, showing proof of identity, attending a formal orientation, providing STD test results or showing that one is part of a stable, long term relationship and is attending with that partner. Clubs with such requirements tend to cater to the swinging subculture. Other clubs are open to any person willing to pay an admission fee.
A similar type of club is a masturbation club in which members, either single-gender or mixed, masturbate together in public or private rooms. Sexual intercourse is generally prohibited in such clubs. See also safe sex party.
There is also a very large and growing group of private sex clubs across the U.S. and around the world that do not operate in a specified location. These organizations focus on private parties in homes or rented facilities and make use of the Internet to build their membership. There is usually a small door fee and most are invitation-only.
Swingers clubs tend to be On-Premise Clubs where people pay an entrance fee to meet other couples and have Sex. Many couples in the lifestyle will try swingers clubs to see if this is truly what they are looking for. Swingers will also try Off-Premise Clubs which tend to be more meet n greet oriented and sexual activity usually is not permitted.

Business Light: blue surprise
The blue "Business light" socks made from high-quality mercerised cotton seem like classic socks at first glance. The stripes are hidden away inside your shoe and only make an appearance when you want them to.
- Smooth structure, no ribbing
- Silky, wash-resistant shine
- 74% cotton (Mercerised Pima cotton), 24% polyamide, 2% elastane (Lycra®)
- Also available in plain colors
Made in Italy
I come from a small sock manufacturer in northeast Milan, which makes me Italian.
They create high-quality socks such as me with a great passion for detail. Three siblings are running the business in the second generation ensuring that lots of socks turn out as good as me.
Shining and refined – Fil d'Ecosse
Shining and refined – Fil d'Ecosse I am made from mercerised cotton. Mercerisation is a finishing process for cotton which gives me a silky, wash-resistant shine and also makes me stronger. Mercerised cotton is also more colourfast and creates very little lint. Polyamide in the form of Lycra® is found in my toe and sole areas to provide additional strengthening.
So why is this also known as Fil d'Ecosse? It's very simple: the Scot John Mercer invented the process, which is why mercerised cotton is also called Fil d'Ecosse. Scottish roots and a French name – rather difficult for me as an Italian!
Totally smooth and unribbed
I owe my beauty not just to my high-quality materials, but also to my workmanship. My smooth surface makes me light and elegant, ensuring that I am an excellent companion for important meetings or your next wedding party. With me, you can dance the night away.
Due to my lack of ribbing I look great, even stunning, in any shoe.
100% skin-friendly & allergy-tested
I am good for you, your feet and your skin: I have been tested and I meet the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
This standard says that I am 100% skin-friendly and allergy-tested. We often forget that socks are worn directly against the skin, in a damp and warm climate subjected to friction.
Also in colour
Once upon a time, I was only available in a classic black. Thanks to my success, I am now available in different plain colors.
In these classic styles, I will go amazingly well with any of your suits. Just remember that I should be a little darker than the colour of your suit.

Lease management
From OLPC
This document briefly describes how to use the OLPC activation server to generate activation leases for new laptops.
has an expired security certificate,
if this hinders you,
read more about it.
Basic functionality
- Go to https://activation.laptop.org/, log in, and click on 'Activate Laptops' link in the top right corner.
- You will see a form with several fields:
- Request notes: a brief description of this lease request, so that you can find it again later if you need to reload these activation leases. For example, "Leases for Mongolia Pilot".
- Kind of lease: leave this at "Activation" to generate activation leases. (Authorized users can also generate developer keys using this same mechanism by selecting "Developer" here.)
- Duration: the number of days the laptop should remain authorized. If you leave this field blank, your leases will be generated for a default maximum duration, typically 8,000 days. You can generate shorter leases by specifying a number of days here.
- Collection file: click on the 'Browse...' button and a file-selection dialog will appear. Select one of the following three types of files:
- A laptop.dat file created by a collection key.
- A plain text list of serial numbers, one serial number per line.
- A three-column CSV file, in "Peru" format. The first field will be school identifier, the second should contain the laptop serial number, and the third field is ignored (but contains battery serial number in Peru).
- Click 'Request leases or keys' to perform the lease request. If you see an error message saying, "You are only authorized to request XYZ leases of this type." you will have to ask your manager to adjust your activation lease quota -- top-level country managers should contact Walter Bender.
- The following page will appear, displaying the status of your lease request. If leases have been previously generated, your may be able to immediately download them. Otherwise, you will see this screen. It may take a minute to generate your leases.
- When your leases are ready, click on the 'lease.sig' link to download leases for this group of laptops.
- Click on 'Home' in the top left corner to return to the beginning of the process, or click on 'Lease and key request history' and then click on 'Create a new activation lease or developer key'.
Creating new users
From the home screen, you can also create new users, whom you can authorize to activate a certain number of machines. It is recommended that separate users be created for each site at which activation may take place, and possibly for each user of the system.
Click on the '+' by a user's name in order to create a new account managed by that user. The form will prompt for username, email address, and administrative information (the new user's title in your organization and region for which they are responsible), as well as an initial activation authorization for the new account. The activation server will email a password for the new account to the email address provided. You can also manually (re)set a password by clicking on the username in the management screen and then clicking the 'Change Password' link at the top right.
Adjusting activation quota
You can adjust the activation lease quota for any user you manage using the '+/-' link on the home screen.
Select whether you want to increase ('+') or decrease ('-') the quota, and by how much, and then click 'OK'. If the user's quota is increased, their direct manager will have their quota decreased, and vice-versa. It may be necessary to first increase the quota of the user's manager(s) before you can increase a user's quota.
