Cerita pengalaman malam pertama – Cerita HOT
Cerita pengalaman malam pertama – Cerita HOT Dating can be a bridge to create a closer relationship. But before choosing clothes or make-up that will be used when a date later, think of goals that will be a place of your date later.
Place of dating can support the process of proximity itself. However, where a date could also derail a date. For that, for the sake of success, should avoid the following places, as reported by Elle Canada.
1. Places That Make You Do not Comfortable
Like all food restaurant that does not fit on your tongue. Let's say Thai restaurant, where you do not like with any kind of food there or cafe that sells only alcohol while you do not like liquor. For that, choose a place that you are comfortable to be there so the atmosphere can support.
2. Go to a place that you like
Of course you will feel comfortable when going out in places that you frequently visit. However, you should not choose a place that becomes your favorite. What are the reasons? You will not know dating can run smoothly or not, otherwise it could be a problem when he also likes your favorite place is. You will often meet with the him, of course your favorite place it would not be as comfortable as it once again.
3. Always place your Visit With Former
Although the atmosphere of the restaurant that you frequently visit with the former is very comfortable, but a kuputusan wrong if you invite your date to come into the restaurant. You may be troubled and do not focus because of the memories and then back over to you. Worse yet, you can meet with a former lover who was dating a woman.
4. Place your Hanging With Friends
Every Friday night you often go to a certain cafe with your friends, there is also a favorite hangout of your friends. For that you should not choose a date place, where you will meet many of your friends. As you many greet and chat with your friends, then your attitude can make him feel awkward and left out, let alone have a friend who joined at your table

Cameras, light sources and documentation
KARL STORZ is one of the pioneers in the field of endoscopic imaging. Milestones such as the first FULL HD endoscope camera worldwide was succeeded by the KARL STORZ FULL HD 3D system for endoscopy. Enhanced sensor technology with higher resolution and innovations in display technology as well as high-performance image processing electronics leads to continuous further developments.
In addition to high-end cameras for rigid and flexible endoscopy, the product range from KARL STORZ also offers mobile all-in-one solutions for human and veterinary medicine with its integrated LED light source, LED backlight monitor and documentation unit.
The product spectrum for the aspect of illumination ranges from the high-intensity XENON to the modern LED light source through to the mobile battery light source.
The FULL HD system from KARL STORZ is modular in design and can, therefore, be optimally adapted to suit various requirements. This modular design principle makes it easier to expand the system and guarantees a high degree of future-proofing. Various IMAGE1 S™-Technologies enable surgeons to modify the endoscopic image through homogeneous illumination or by increasing the dynamic contrast. In addition, color hue shifting makes it easier to differentiate between tissue types.
IMAGE1 S™ 4U – mORe than a camera
The IMAGE1 S™ 4U camera system allows the operating surgeon to make optimal use of the benefits offered by 4K technology. A notable feature is the image quality: High image brightness, impressive colors, greater richness of detail and a significantly improved depth effect characterize this system. Thanks to the system's modularity, 4U components can be easily integrated into the existing IMAGE1 S™ camera platform. Consequently, the system is still compatible with existing technologies (e.g., rigid, flexible, fluorescence and 3D endoscopy) and can be adapted to meet individual customer needs.
- IMAGE1 S™ 4U impresses with outstanding, razor-sharp images
- Excellent image brightness
- First-rate color rendition
- Greater richness of detail
- Three innovative visualization technologies for tissue differentiation:
- CLARA: Homogeneous illumination
- CHROMA: Contrast enhancement
- SPECTRA*: Spectral color shift and switch
- Easy integration into the IMAGE1 S™ camera platform
* not for sale in the U.S.
4K Monitor Portfolio
In conjunction with the IMAGE1 S™ 4U camera system, new 4K monitors now complement the imaging chain from KARL STORZ. The monitors are available in various sizes and technologies (2D/3D) in order to meet the individual requirements of different interventions.
4K technology offers an extended color space combined with enhanced color saturation due to the implementation of the BT.2020 standard in the monitors.
Thanks to the special tempered safety glass, all monitors feature strong resistance to scratches and knocks.
With a screen diagonal of 32", the monitors feature an enclosed glass surface that allows quick and easy wipe disinfection to guarantee optimal hygiene properties.
The OPAL1® NIR/ICG Technology based on IMAGE1 S™ for the Visualization of the Fluorescent Dye Indocyanine Green (ICG)* in Near Infrared
Based on the IMAGE1 S™ camera platform, KARL STORZ offers a laser-free FULL HD solution for the visualization of ICG in the vascular system, biliary tract, and lymphatic system. Thanks to a new color option, the preferred color for NIR/ICG visualization, i.e. blue or green, can be selected before or during the procedure. Furthermore, S-Technologies can be used under white light or in combination with the NIR/ICG mode. This can provide more intense fluorescence or better background lighting.
- Multidisciplinary camera head with high NIR sensitivity
- Xenon-based technology (no laser safety measures necessary)
- Part of the IMAGE1 S™ camera platform – compatible with IMAGE1 S™ H3-LINK
- All-in-one solution for laparoscopic and open surgery thanks to VITOM® II ICG
- Simplified use of the NIR/ICG functionality via IMAGE1 S™
* Please verify that the fluorescent dye indocyanine green is approved for the respective indication in your country.

OCEAN CITY — Resort officials this week approved a continuation of Ocean City's agreement with Worcester and Wicomico Counties on the Mid-Atlantic Amateur Sports Alliance (MAASA).
In 2014, Ocean City entered into an agreement with Wicomico County to establish MAASA, a cutting edge alliance that allowed the two jurisdictions to pool their collective resources to attract and retain major sporting events and tournaments to the Lower Shore region. In 2015, Worcester joined the alliance, which focuses on linking and leveraging the combined assets to attract and build sports events in the region with a focus on amateur athletics.
The Mayor and Council had before it on Monday a request to renew Ocean City's commitment in MAASA and approved the continued partnership with little discussion. The town's financial commitment to the alliance is $6,000 annually, which was included in the fiscal year 2018 budget under the advertising and promotion line item. The $6,000 is the same financial commitment supplied by Worcester and Wicomico counties.
Just three years in, the program has been wildly successful and has been used as a model for similar alliances across the country. The concept is to pull the collective resources of the partners in the alliance to create a destination for major amateur sports tournaments and competitions. For example, Wicomico and Worcester have the athletic facilities to handle the events, while Ocean City has the hotel rooms and other amenities to accommodate the players, coaches, families and friends, for example.
One of the highlights of MAASA is the annual softball tournament each summer that attracts hundreds of teams and thousands of players to the Lower Shore region. The U.S. Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) Eastern World Series last year drew more than 350 teams and 5,000 players from 14 states and Canada to the Worcester-Wicomico region over three weeks in July.
The event draws an estimated economic impact of nearly $18 million to the region and a hotel room-night demand exceeding 10,000. For a decade, Wicomico County hosted the USSSA softball world series, but growth in the size and scope of the event sparked an expansion into Worcester County and Ocean City. All of that was made possible by the MAASA partnership between the jurisdictions.
Earlier this spring, the council approved another major MAASA-related event with a Mother's Day weekend indoor volleyball tournament played largely in Ocean City.

You will not be refunded for the rest of that month and will retain your access to the Pro plan until the end of the month. After that, your payment method won't be charged again and you will lose access to Pro. The exact same thing happens for yearly plans as well.

On the "Pricing" page, we show you an effective monthly price, i.e. the yearly price divided by 12, so that you can easily compare against the monthly option. An Annual Pro subscription is by far the best value option amongst all of our promotions at any time.

Atazanavir/Ritonavir and Zinc Pharmacokinetic Study (SSAT043)

The study is being conducted as the most common side effect of the HIV drug atazanavir (taken with ritonavir) is hyperbilirubinaemia. Bilirubin is a normal waste product from the body and gets broken down in the liver so it can leave the body through the gut. Atazanavir slows the breakdown of this chemical, which can cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin) and/or scleral icterus (yellowing of the eyes). This is completely harmless; in fact up to 1 in 10 of the UK population have an inherited condition that causes the same yellowing. However, some patients don't like this side effect and it is the commonest reason for switching off the drug.
A study in people with Gilberts syndrome (the inherited condition that causes the same changes in the chemical bilirubin) showed that a mineral supplement (zinc sulphate) reduced the levels of bilirubin in the blood. The aim of this study is to see if using zinc supplements can achieve the same effect in patients with high bilirubin due to atazanavir use.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infection
|Drug: 1 Solvazinc tablet, day 2 to day 15 Drug: 1 Solvazinc tablet, day 15 to day 28
|Phase 4
Atazanavir is a protease inhibitor (PI) and, like other agents in this class, requires pharmacological 'boosting' with the cytochrome p450 inhibitor ritonavir. Ritonavir slows the hepatic clearance of PIs, increasing plasma concentration and allowing the us eof lower, and less frequent doses. Atazanavir, boosted with ritonavir, is approved for once-daily use, is an internationally preferred first-line agent (in combination with a backbone of two nucleosides [NRTI]) and the most commonly prescribed PI in the UK. Once-daily atazanavir/ritonavir with two NRTI is an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option for people living with HIV infection. The most common adverse event associated with atazanavir use is unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. This is observed in over 40% of patients and up to 5% of patients discontinue the drug due jaundice and/or scleral icterus.
Truvada is a fixed dose combination of two NRTI, tenofovir (245mg) and emtricitabine (200mg), administered as one tablet once daily. Truvada is a preferred NRTI backbone in national and international guidelines and the first line, therefore most commonly used, NRTI backbone in our unit.
Benefits of atazanavir/ritonavir compared with alternative agents include once daily dosing, low pill burden, low rates of gastro-intestinal toxicity and, importantly in a patient population already at an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, a favourable lipid profile. If a simple intervention could reduce the incidence of hyperbilirubinaemia this could reduce the risk of treatment discontinuation/switch. The aim of this study is to explore the benefit, and safety, of adding zinc sulphate in patients on a stable regimen of Truvada, atazanavir and ritonavir.

In regular season home games, the Catholic Academies tournament, and in the PIAA District 1 playoffs, Mount St. Joseph Academy never lost a basketball game that was preceded by guard Maddie Kohler's skillful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. But in last Friday's district championship game at Villanova University, the junior starter for the second-seeded Magic had to defer to a duo from top-seeded Council Rock North High School, who performed the anthem at the Pavilion.
The Mount was able to make do without its lucky songbird, cruising to a 45-23 victory over the Indians to seize the District title and attain a season record of 26-3. Rock's junior point guard, Lauren Gold, had torn two knee ligaments in the semifinal round two days earlier, and seldom did a team miss a single player so much.
There is often a one-game phenomenon whereby everyone else on a team exceeds their normal limits right after an injury to a key comrade, but it didn't happen for Council Rock (25-2), which trailed the Mount 31-4 six minutes into the third quarter of Friday's game.
Two days earlier, the Magic's victory over third-seeded Downingtown East High School was not so one-sided in the early going, but the Mount still won quite comfortably, 48-27. Logging the 600th and 601st victories of his long coaching career, Mount mentor John Miller had claimed back-to-back wins against two storied coaches in the Quad-A class in District 1, Downingtown's Bob Schnure and Council Rock's Lou Palkovics. In their five district tourney games, the Magic triumphed by an average of 25 points.
Miller remarked, "The way we won these games through the district, number one, really surprised me, and secondly made me think that not many teams face the type of hard-nosed man-to-man defense that we see almost day in and day out in the Academies League. I think our league and the [Philadelphia] Catholic League both play a real physical, in-your-face style of game, and some of the teams we played recently did not seem to adapt to that very well."
The Magic never trailed in Wednesday's semifinal game, grabbing a 9-0 lead on a three-pointer from the left corner by Kohler, a converted steal by senior Mary Jo Horgan, and two free throws and a 15-foot jumper by 11th-grader Cailin Schmeer. Kaitlyn Dougherty got Downingtown on the board with a lay-up almost five-and-a-half minutes into the action.
Mount St. Joe led 11-4 at the quarter and was up 16-5 with 2:28 remaining in the first half, but the last two buckets before the break belonged to Downingtown's Dougherty, who led all scorers at the intermission. She deposited eight points for the Cougars, who trailed 16-9.
Horgan led the Magic with a modest five points, which she expanded to nine in the second half for a total of 14. A fellow senior, forward Steph Smith, came on even stronger after the interlude. The Catholic Academies MVP had been held to a lone field goal in the first half, but she banged in 15 points over the final two quarters for a game-high 17.
"In the first half we weren't really running our plays, we were kind of just freelancing," Smith remarked. "We're better when we run our plays and we wanted to stick to doing that in the second half, so I think that's why we ended up scoring more. The girl on me was really physical, so instead of posting up down low I decided to drive to the basket."
Smith penetrated for a lay-up to start the third quarter, and the teams traded points up to 20-13. Just over three minutes in, Horgan hooped a three-pointer that initiated an 11-2 surge, thrusting the Magic ahead 31-15 with 2:20 still left in the third round.
The gap between the teams remained in double figures the rest of the way, and was locked in at 21 points when MSJ sophomore Meg McCabe hit a lay-up with 19 seconds to go. She and freshman Alex Louin each finished with two points, while junior Bridget Higgins, Schmeer, and Kohler had six, four, and three, respectively. With a 15-point performance, Downingtown's Dougherty accumulated more points than all of her teammates combined.
Two nights later at Villanova, both district finalists seemed a little jittery at the outset. The board stuck at 0-0 for more than three minutes and MSJ's Miller called a time-out to settle his charges. It was Council Rock's Megan Cunningham who actually broke the ice almost halfway through opening period, but after that the Magic defense squeezed turnovers out of the Indians and forced them to take imprudent shots, and Rock only managed one field goal for the next 19 minutes on the game clock.
Higgins, the MSJ defensive ace out of St. Philip Neri School in Lafayette Hill, held Lauren Gold's senior sister, Devin, to one field goal and two free throws throughout the evening, and the junior guard also had a breakout night on offense. Averaging about seven points per game in the district tourney coming in, Higgins accounted for the Mount's first eight points in the finals, sandwiching a pair of three-point buckets around a score off a steal. Netting another triple in the second half, she finished with three assists, two steals, and a game-high 15 points, one ahead of Horgan (five rebounds, five assists, four steals).
Higgins' perimeter prowess even surprised the Mount's Miller. He said that after the junior's first trey and lay-up, "I looked at the scoreboard and thought 'How did we get five points?' Then I figured out that Bridget's jump shot must have been a three-pointer."
After her opening spree, field goals by Horgan and Smith made it 12-2 at the quarter, and the tally climbed to 17-2 in the middle of the second frame before the Indians' Gold scored on a drive for her only field goal of the evening. Schmeer soon responded in kind for the Magic, and the only hint of a cloud on the Mount's horizon was a third personal foul called against Smith. No worries; sophomore Meg Geatens subbed in and beat the halftime buzzer with a lay-up, making it 21-4.
In preparing his team to defend against the Indians' offense, Miller again drew upon experience his players gained during their league games.
He called AACA archrival Villa Maria the best running team the Mount has played this winter, and said that facing the Hurricanes three times helped the Magic get ready for Council Rock's offensive transition.
"When I saw Council Rock play the other night," Miller said, "it was very noticeable how when the other team took a shot, their big girl (6'2" junior Emily Grundman) would just release and fly down the floor. She's lefthanded, so she would go to the left box and [Devin Gold] would come up and throw a lob pass to her. They scored a lot of points that way."
Instead of sending his own "big," the 6'1" Smith, chasing down the floor after Grundman, he had her stay focused on offensive rebounding while he dropped two smaller players back. Then he had Higgins pressure the Indians' ballhandlers crossing midcourt, delaying them until Smith could transition to defense. The Magic were able to limit the athletic Grundman to one field goal and a pair of free throws throughout the game.
Following the halftime interlude, Horgan hit two field goals and Higgins and Kohler each canned a "three" to send the Mounties out to a 10-0 start in the third quarter. After that, the Indians salvaged a measure of self respect, outscoring the coasting Mounties 19-14 the rest of the way.
Back in summer league play, Mount St. Joe had edged Rock North twice, in games where the Indians had both Gold sisters and Grundman, while the Magic were missing an ailing Smith each time. Still, even with Lauren Gold now on crutches, few people expected a district tourney triumph of this magnitude for the Mounties.
Back during John Miller's 18-year tenure as head coach of the La Salle University women, he had recruited one of Palkovic's players at Council Rock North and had gotten to know the Indians' mentor.
"I went over to Lou after the game and said I knew it was a tough thing to lose a player like [Lauren Gold] and only have one day to prepare," Miller related. "I told him now he'd have a little time to put those pieces together and get ready for States."
Mount St. Joe's original sixth man, talented sophomore guard Kelsey Jones, went down for the season with a knee injury at the beginning of January, but the Magic had plenty of time to adjust before playoffs, and entered the postseason on a roll.
Smith finished with six points and nine rebounds in the district championship game, while the Mount received three points apiece from Kohler and Louin and two each from Geatens and Schmeer. Junior forward Alyssa Dumont had a team-high eight points for Council Rock.

Maintaining My Claim
As the picture confirms I'm still maining my claim on the beach. Day two and I am settled into my lounge with umbrella, Coke (a good Southern girl never goes anywhere without the elixir of life), cell phone, and plenty of paper and pens.
All is right with the world…..
The beach is busy this morning---not with people but with the business of being a beach. Small, greyish-white crab-like creatures scurry here and there diving into holes in the sand before my poor "graded too many papers in my lifetime" eyes can focus in on them clearly. I mimic their actions as I scurry from spot to spot camera phone open attempting to snap a picture. I hope Daughter Dear isn't watching her crazy mother from the balcony of the condo. I finally give up leaving the minute creatures their solitude.
The birds, large and small, are soaring overhead or walking the beach nibbling this and that. Their little heads bob in and out as they walk along as if they are saying, "We're eating this and that, this and that, this and that, this and that." What is it that they see in the sand that I don't?
It's right before noon….the sun is still a bit to the left. As my gaze pans from east to west I see a long column of condo buildings as far as the eye can see running parallel to the white ribbon of beach and the blue-green of the water. Along with a long stretch of condos to the east is the Alabama-Florida state line or Floribama as the locals call it.
Directly in front of me looking out towards the horizon I see an expanse of what appears to be huge silver sequins winking and twinkling at me as the sun catches each little ripple of the water. Various kinds of boats dot the horizon here and there.
To the west the water reverts back to the blue-green, semi-transparent depths. Empty lots complete this end of Perdido Key and are dotted here and there with sea oats stretching down towards the jetty.
Occaisional trios of pelicans soar by on the prowl for tasty morsels.
If I remain patient, vigilent, and by fixing my gaze on one section of water at a time I am rewarded with the occaisional water ballet that mini-schools of small, silvery fish perform as they come in close to shore turning this way and that. The sun shines through the waves as they curl one last time to reveal brown seaweed churning in the water. A small boat motors across and as it reaches me a wave curls. For a split second I'm able to see a large fish swimming inside the wave parallel to the boat. It's just a dark shadow but it's a three to four foot long shadow. Is that a triangle-shape fin sticking up along the top edge of the creature? Hmmmm….I wonder if the mighty fishermen realize their prize catch is only a few feet from their deck. I think of Dear Husband. He's been out since 5:30 a.m. on a charter boat with twenty other manly men from our church. I hope he's having a good day and the fishing/seasick gods are being benevolent to everyone aboard.
The waves are pounding today----much larger than yesterday---more distinct clouds and a steady, steady wind. I have to fight my favorite writing tool….the spiral notebook….to keep it steady as I perch it along the handrail of my lounge.
The birds see something in the water. They are literally belly flopping into the surf diving straight down like Kamikazee pilots except they are able to crash into the water and careen right back up in the wild blue yonder proudly munching on their catch.
A large…..wrong word……a giantic bird has landed in front of me. I freeze. He....she turns around and looks my way. I mean I think he/she is looking at me. How can you tell since the eyes on the side of the head? I begin to think about my exit strategy if gigantic bird begins to come my way. This took some thinking since my "I'm not overweight just undertall" body does not always move quickly in the most graceful manner. Two groups of people walk by. You would think gigantic bird would get nervous and fly off. He/she just kept gazing out at the sea totally ignoring me and the folks passing him by. Finally he/she begins to flap and transports his/her body from the left of me to the right of me where he/she continued his/her sentry duty over the water. This continued for about five minutes before he/she finally just walked on down the beach. Just another tourist…..at least speedos weren't involved.
As the afternoon wore on I watched the sun slowly slide on down the other side of the sky. The huge silver sequins that winked and twinkled at me earlier are also moving further and further to the west. Occaisionally a fish flips up out of the water for an instant and slides back in. I began to see gangs of dolphins swimming towards the jetty. They gave me my own personal floor show as they literally jump in and out of the water as they sail by. Wow, who needs Sea World?
Star Trek begins with these words, "Space….the final frontier." I beg to differ with Captain Kirk. Here I sit on a fine line between the edge of a continent and a great abyss. Space is fine. I get it the need for space missions but I think even with all of our technology we have lost the determination needed for that next great discovery or accomplishment. The Cold War fueled our desire to win the space race and now it's over and our desire has cooled. We also don't seem to have that same collective drive or spirit as it were to have a major accomplishment. What has been the greatest space news lately? Some yahoos (and not even a full compliment of yahoos) decide Pluto isn't a planet. It's disheartening.
The oceans are where it's at. This is where we should focus our attention. I sit here and look at the edge of a world we are aware of but yet we still know so little.
Deep thoughts…….
….and another day ends
…. and I still maintain my claim.

Sometimes I think that being a lawyer is like being a builder. Often, a builder's own house is full of jobs that need to be done. These jobs are, in fact, destined never to be done, because a builder spends all day building other people's houses and cannot find the energy to apply hammer and nail march madness in his own domain. Instead, when he gets home he cracks open a lager and watches the football, or, if he is a politically correct sort, reads Pablo Neruda and cooks his partner (male or female) a meal. In short, he does anything to avoid being a builder once his identity as such has evaporated behind closed doors.

A great white shark attacked two kayakers who were trying to photograph seals off the Plymouth, Massachusetts, coast Wednesday evening at Manomet Point, authorities say.
The shark came up from beneath the two women and took a bite out of one of their kayaks, according to the Plymouth Harbormaster.
Neither of the women kayaking was injured in the attack. Officials say the women, who are in their mid-20s, were trying to take pictures of the seals at the time.
U.S. & World
The shark is believed to have been a great white, based on a tooth fragment and the bite mark it left on the kayak, Massachusetts Environmental Police says.
The shark is estimated to be 14 to 16 feet long.
Authorities say this is the second great white shark sighting of the day in the area, after a woman reported seeing one attack a seal around 1 p.m.
The Plymouth Harbormaster searched for about two and half hours but found nothing.

Since 1980, total tax rates have fallen for each income group -- rich, poor, and everybody in the middle. But who got the biggest break?
This fabulous series of charts from the New York Times offers one answer -- and it exactly the group you're expecting. Total tax rates -- that's federal income + payroll + corporate + state/local -- have gone down for poor and rich alike since 1980.
So, we all get a break. But who got the biggest?
Divide the first by the 2010 rate by the 1980 rate, and you get an answer. Taxes fell 5% for the poorest households. They fell about 7% for the typical household. And they fell 14% for the richest households. It is fair to say that between President Carter and President Obama, taxes have fallen by twice as much for the richest families as for the median family.
When it comes to taxes, "fair" is a four-letter word, and one that splits liberals and conservatives. I'd encourage anybody on either side of the debate to go back and study these New York Times graphs to see three points: (1) the richest households pay a growing share of our taxes, because (2) they earn a growing share of national income and (3) the tax code is largely progressive, except for the tippy-top.
*This is true for the mass, mass majority of tax payers. But at the very tippy-top of the income pyramid, it becomes less true. The richest households earn most of their money from capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than earned income. In 2009, for example, the average salary of the 400 richest U.S. households was $22 million. Their average capital gains income? $92 million. So that's why the tax code bends back toward regressivity at the very top: We've decided to give investment income a tax break, and the rich happen to earn most of their money from investments.

Revision as of 02:24, 21 October 2011
Benefits of SHA-2 over MD5
In Linux distributions login passwords are commonly hashed and stored in the Template:Filename file using the MD5 algorithm. The security of the MD5 hash function has been severely compromised by collision vulnerabilities. This does not mean MD5 is insecure for password hashing but in the interest of decreasing vulnerabilities a more secure and robust algorithm that has no known weaknesses (i.e. SHA) is recommended.
The following tutorial uses the sha512 hash function, which has been recommended by the NSA for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Alternatively, SHA-2 consists of three additional hash functions with digests that are 224, 256 or 384 bits.
Arch Linux's default tty manager agetty and the minimal tty manager mingetty both support sha512. Additionally, a patched version of fgetty in the AUR adds sha512 support.
Editing the Necessary Files
Editing /etc/pam.d/passwd
A default Template:Filename should look like the following:
#%PAM-1.0 #password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3 #password required pam_unix.so md5 shadow use_authtok password required pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok
Open Template:Filename with a text editor and replace Template:Codeline with Template:Codeline on the uncommented line. At the end of of the uncommented line add the Template:Codeline option.
The rounds=N option helps to improve key strengthening. The number of rounds has a larger impact on security than the selection of a hash function. For example, rounds=65536 means that an attacker has to compute 65536 hashes for each password he tests against the hash in your Template:Filename. Therefore the attacker will be delayed by a factor of 65536. This also means that your computer must compute 65536 hashes every time you log in, but even on slow computers that takes less than 1 second. If you do not use the rounds option then glibc will default to 5000 rounds for sha512. Additionally, the default value for the rounds option can be found in Template:Filename.
After applying the above changes your Template:Filename file should look like this:
#%PAM-1.0 #password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3 #password required pam_unix.so md5 shadow use_authtok password required pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok rounds=65536
Editing /etc/default/passwd
Your default Template:Filename file should look like this:
# This file contains some information for # the passwd (1) command and other tools # creating or modifying passwords. # Define default crypt hash # CRYPT={des,md5,blowfish} CRYPT=des # Use another crypt hash for group passwowrds. # This is used by gpasswd, fallback is the CRYPT entry. # GROUP_CRYPT=des # We can override the default for a special service # by appending the service name (FILES, YP, NISPLUS, LDAP) # for local files, use a more secure hash. We # do not need to be portable here: CRYPT_FILES=blowfish # sometimes we need to specify special options for # a hash (variable is prepended by the name of the # crypt hash). BLOWFISH_CRYPT_FILES=5 # For NIS, we should always use DES: CRYPT_YP=des
On line 7 of the above example file, change
Editing Template:Filename
According to passwd's man page, this file has to be edited when the Template:Filename mechanism is used for storing passwords. Add the following line to Template:Filename:
Final Steps
Even though you have changed the encryption, your passwords are not automatically rehashed. To fix this, you must reset all user passwords so that they can be rehashed.
As root issue the following the command,
# passwd <username>
where Template:Codeline is the name of the user whose password you are changing. Then re-enter their current password, and it will be rehashed using the SHA-2 function!
To verify that your passwords have been rehashed, check the Template:Filename file as root. Passwords hashed with sha256 should begin with a $5 and passwords hashed with sha512 will begin with $6.

EDMONTON - For a minute, Beth Coulas's illness was smothered and forgotten beneath a giant bear hug from an inspirational woman in purple.
"I'm so thankful," Coulas said, her eyes still glazed over from what just transpired. "It's all I've ever wanted."
Coulas, 51, along with about 150 other lucky Edmontonians, had an opportunity to meet daytime talk show queen and inspirational guide Oprah Winfrey on Monday evening at Rexall Place.
In a roped off room on the lower level of the arena, an hour before the sold-out show dubbed An Evening With Oprah began, fans and devout followers smiled and giggled with anticipation as they waited.
When the monarch of couch therapy sessions and celebrity interviews arrived, she did so with a sense of humour bigger than her hair.
"My secret to taking great pictures is to say 'Yay,' " she said. "And please don't tell me your WHOLE life story," she joked.
Guests had an opportunity to shake hands and pose for a photo with Winfrey, one of the most famous and richest women in the world.
Wearing a royal purple wrap dress and four-inch bronze platform heels, the 58-year-old Winfrey (who turns 59 next week) offered genuine, loving embraces to each of her fans.
Coulas won the opportunity to meet Winfrey through a Southgate Centre contest. Coulas, who is suffering from a terminal brain tumour, has her son Robert to thank for the experience.
The 25-year-old entered his mom in the competition to fulfil one of her dreams, which was to meet the lady who had made her laugh, cry, and find strength for the quarter century that Oprah reigned over daytime television, in the highest-rated talk show in American television history.
The Oprah Winfrey Show ended in 2011, only to be followed by the creation of OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.
"I feel like it was a full circle moment," Coulas said. "She's not 'Oprah': She (embodies), 'What can we do to make this world a better place?' "
For Journal contest winner Sandra McColl, the experience was "fast, but very cool. I don't think there will be another time in my life that I'll be that close to an icon."
She shared the experience with her daughter, Aleana Sorensen, 24, after winning tickets by sharing her "aha" moment with Journal readers. It came after the death of her son, when she realized she missed him so much because she had loved him so deeply, a realization that allowed her to carry on with her own life.
Though cellphone photos with Oprah were forbidden, McColl's daughter snapped a shot of her with CBC-TV host George Stroumboulopoulos, who is in town to interview Winfrey.
As for her brief meeting with Oprah, McColl says she felt "really lucky to have got the opportunity to come to see the show, let alone to get a photograph with her."
Coulas raised her two children on Oprah. For 25 years, Oprah found a place in the Coulas living room. Her son remembers it well, but An Evening With Oprah will shine a little bit brighter in his memory from now on.
"I'm so happy I had a chance to share this experience (with my mom)," he said, wiping away tears.
Oprah brings her tour to Calgary's Saddledome on Tuesday and to Vancouver's Rogers Arena on Thursday.

The Oscars Overview
Duana and I both have thoughts on this and on Ellen DeGeneres as host. Let's start with Duana's analysis first:
The thing about Ellen Degeneres as host was that there was already a much higher standard than for someone like He Who Irritated Us Last Year. For the most part, she was completely able to host the show. But you know what? I didn't think, "Oh, she's having so much fun. This is cake for her". No matter how skilled she is – and she is - it's not like she had it in a lock. There were more than a few moments when I was not sure she was going to be able to pull it out. Yes, there was that awesome first dig that came directly before Anne Hathaway but there were also a lot of stammers that weren't pulled off with a grin, that awkward start to the pizza gag, and the time when she couldn't really land the bit with the money. Or like, she did…but then it kept going and Pharrell gave her a bit of side-eye, like… "you got this, right? You're okay".
It made for interesting viewing, since I wasn't always sure how she was feeling about the performance. There wasn't flop sweat, but I wasn't sure she always had the material, even if she always had the room on her side. There were for sure wins, but they didn't make it a roaring over-the-top adrenaline race that made it a home run. It was touch and go.
Which I kind of liked. Like the best movies, I don't want to feel safe all the time. I didn't once complain about being bored…
First of all, that was a really poorly directed show, non? If Kevin Spacey mentions Angelina Jolie, you CUT TO ANGELINA JOLIE. I mean, sure, we eventually got to the Pitt Porn kiss afterwards but if I'm running that control room, a shot of those two makes your show every.single.time. Also, please don't show me June Squibb after announcing Sally Hawkins's nomination. And the steady cam shots as they were all opening the envelopes were so distorting and weird like they were trying to be the VMAs, cool and hip, when cool and hip is clearly not the Academy. Classy? Sure. That set was incredible. The cascading roses were incredible. The wall of typewriters was incredible. You don't need weird X-Games camera angles when you have quite possibly the most beautifully designed stage in the history of the Academy Awards!
As for Ellen, I agree with Duana that some of the jokes didn't work. And still, I don't think that was enough to take away from what she brought to it. Which is that she's friends with all of these people. Which means she's able to draw those people – the celebrities, the movie stars, the faces we all want to see more of – in to the action. With the pizza (take the f-cking pizza, Leo, just take the f-cking pizza), with random audience popups, with Pharrell's hat collecting money, and of course, with that selfie…
The most amazing selfie of all-time…
Did you see how little time it took for Julia Roberts to insert herself in that moment? And how excited the Brange seemed to be to throw themselves in there? And how Lupita's adorable brother didn't belong but still belonged?
That's all Ellen. Ellen gives us what we want: THEM.
I wasn't initially sold on Ellen as host. But I didn't realise that she'd leverage her connection to THEM that much. Isn't that why we still watch the Oscars?

Jasbir looked after my three little boys for the first time yesterday evening and I was nervous at first but needn't have been as she was brilliant. The boys thought she was great and Jasbir texted me to let me know all was okay while I was out. I would happily recommend Jasbir, she's very good with children, very helpful and she even tidied up some of the toys in the playroom. Thank you x.
First class service. Our daughters absolutely love her and want us to go out more often so Sarah can come and look after them. What more can we say! We had been nervous about using a sitting service, but Sarah put our minds at ease from the first moment we met her, allowing us to relax whilst out. Many thanks.
Would definatly book Georgia P again. She was very attentive and asked us as many questions as we asked her. This made me feel at ease as I knew our son would be left in capable hands. Georgia P was the first sitter we used so was very apprehensive but Georgia P made us feel easier about leaving our son in a 'strangers ' hands.

Tech Update
Software Add-On Monitors Waterjet-Cutting Performance
Omax Corp., Kent, WA, used the IMTS 2012 stage in October to introduce its Intelli-Visor system-monitoring package, designed to enable users to oversee the status and performance of their Omax abrasive waterjet throughout the cutting process. Intelli-Visor works to increase the efficiency and uptime of any Omax JetMachining Center by connecting operation controls with machine maintenance.
As a function of the Omax Intelli-MAX 18 control software, Intelli-Visor uses an industry-standard Modbus communications protocol, a streamlined software interface and robust network of machine sensors to capture and share real-time data from different components across the JetMachining Center. As a result, operators can effectively monitor and analyze machining parameters, including cutting activity, pump pressure and abrasive levels, and also track machine hours and maintenance schedules.
The software also enables an operator to specify what parameters need to be monitored, and the actions the machine should initiate should an operation fail or approach failure. These actions include pausing the machine to protect the cutting head and workpiece, and administering an alert notification. And, with an Internet connection, Intelli-Visor can distribute an alert notice to as many as four people via e-mail or text messaging.Omax Corp.: 800/838-0343; www.omax.com

LOS ANGELES, May 7 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles jury has convicted "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis of assault and false imprisonment, officials said.
Francis, 40, faces up to five years in Los Angeles County jail when he is sentenced Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
He was found guilty after a two-week trial of three counts of false imprisonment, one count of dissuading a witness from reporting and one count of assault causing great bodily injury.
The charges stem from a Jan. 29, 2011, incident, in which Francis grabbed a woman he met at the Supper Club in Hollywood and pulled her in to his limo. Two of her friends followed, thinking Francis would give them a ride to their car, but instead he took them to his gated home and wouldn't let them leave, leading to physical altercations with the women, the Times said.

Molly Munger is being too generous.
The wealthy civil rights lawyer from Pasadena has given nearly $30 million to support Prop 38, a ballot initiative that would raise income taxes for 12 years to establish a new funding stream for local schools and a new Head Start-style program for California children.
Such generosity may seem admirable, but it's not. Indeed, it's counterproductive -- for her, for the campaign, and for the worthy cause of more local control of school funds.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Here's the problem: Munger is bankrolling the campaign virtually by herself. That hurts Prop 38, as a matter of perception and reality, by making the measure appear to be the work of one rich lady. It puts the focus entirely on Munger, not the schools and policy.
That's a particularly big problem because Prop 38 is almost certainly going to lose. So Munger is spending her money on an initiative that won't produce a change in policy.
Now, backing a losing initiative makes sense -- if Munger is playing a long game and trying to start a movement to make school finance a local matter again.
(A core problem in California, after school equalization court decisions in the 1970s and Prop 13, is that school funding has been centralized in Sacramento).
But if Munger is playing the long game and building a movement, then her strategy of funding the whole thing herself makes little sense. To build a movement, you need people to join up and feel like they have ownership. One way to do that would be to encourage people to make small contributions -- whatever they can afford -- to the movement, and to Prop 38.
But there's no real sign of a small-donor campaign attached to Prop 38, and it's hard to get such donations when Munger is openly backing the whole thing herself.
What would be better?
Munger would be better off donating on a one-to-one match for every outside dollar that comes in. That would leverage her generosity in service of building a movement. Also, when people donate, they have to tell you who they are and how to contact them -- important information to have as you go forward after the election.
And a big army of small donors can be an important selling point in demonstrating to the public that there's real support for a reform like the one Munger is seeking.
Political consultants, of course, routinely advise that big money is necessary to win elections. But big money isn't everything, and it's very possible to spend so much money on a race that it's counterproductive (Just ask Meg Whitman, whose outsized spending on her own gubernatorial campaign became a big part of the case against her).
So save some of your money, Molly, so you can turn the defeat of Prop 38 into a future victory.

The Hong Kong Science Park was commissioned by the Hong Kong SAR in 1999 as a development to attract foreign high-tech companies establishing operations in Hong Kong. With a mission of embracing new technology and research, the Park was to be implemented in three phases. The second phase developments completed in 2008 were designed for applied science research companies of four target industries: Information technology, electronics, precision engineering and biotechnology.
Buildings in this phase comprise two energy towers, two dedicated laboratory buildings and six R&D Office buildings also tenable for laboratory facilities. They were carefully placed and oriented to capture the wide and open views to the harbor front promenade. Tenant movements are planned on a central spine concept providing a fully air-conditioned pedestrian 'street' connecting with Phase 1 and the future Phase 3. Along the spine are clubhouse facilities, business centre with conference facilities, retail shops and dining facilities, readily accessible to create interaction. Two leaning energy towers housing the central air-conditioning system service the other buildings, adding dynamism to the development.
The system is devised to recover heat dissipated by the chillers for heating purpose. Service design philosophy of the office buildings has the power, water, IT and refuse collection system distribution network located at the basement level outside the normal tenant area to facilitate operation management and maintenance. A major focal point at the centre of the development is the free standing, egg-shaped Auditorium located along the central spine. The spine opens onto a landscaped water lake stretching along the development with timber decked areas under a wavy canopy on poles leaning randomly to provide al fresco dining.
The opposite side of the lake has gentle contours, open grassy areas and a soft reed bed fringe. The building facades are coherent and experimental, with insulated glazing for thermal performance, articulated sunshade devices and cladded facades. Interior spaces are light and airy, stripped of commercial extravagance offering an uplifting experience to tenants.

It's funny to see this post - I enjoy the MOA because it isn't the sharky community like the SoCal sportbike scene I was out and about in during my 30's/ZX11 years. At 48 I prefer the relaxed nature of MOA GTG's and low-keyness, and also prefer my sportbiking to be with very small groups now, and the competition muted. It really cuts down on the accident factor and plastic litter on interesting roads.
However, when the MOA sent me their survey, I replied with a very detailed list of reasons gathered from my 24 year old son and his buddies. Here's what they want:
1.) To meet gals their age that ride..don't we all?
2.) To meet gals...
3.) They thought the bigger MOA events were good, but wanted these types of events locally and lower cost; IOW more local clubs doing stuff. Since they mostly ride sportbikes, a 500 mile + trip is more or less out of the question. Never stopped me but this is the XBox generation.
4.) Money for them is a big concern and although brand cost for a BMW is an issue, maintenance cost is too.
His BMW pick was an F800ST but we couldn't find a nice used one that wasn't lowered, so he ended up with an SV650. Nice bike though he would have ridden the ST more due to comfort.
Also, the younger folks do tend to be more competitive, and more inclined to take unsupported risks (riding outside the envelope, etc). I guess in the end, I think the MOA caters to the age group it caters to and that's probably a good thing.
I'll be showing up at the next local KY rally on the 1000RR just for fun though : )

Florence Welch wants to take a break, pen a musical
Image Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty Images[/caption]
Florence Welch, lead singer of Florence + the Machine, is ready to call it quits — for now.
The 26-year-old singer tells London's Evening Standard that she's going on hiatus once her band wraps up its European tour in December. "I've been on tour since I was 21. I need a break and to have the chance to do normal things, like go to the supermarket and hang out with my friends," said Welch.
The group took off in 2009 with the release of their debut album Lungs, which reached #1 in the UK and #14 in the US; their second album, 2011's Ceremonials, also hit #1 in the UK and #6 in the US. They have toured virtually nonstop since February of 2008.
"I've only just moved out of my mum's house, so I'd like to settle into my new place and start getting inspired again," Welch said. "If I started writing songs now, all they'd be about is tour buses and hotel rooms."
The break won't be totally idle, though – Welch added that she plans to write a musical with her childhood friend Sophie Hart-Walsh, a costume designer for films such as Prince of Persia and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Independent watchmaking is a trend, but not for the watchmakers who are doing so. They have been working on these watches for many years, thinking over their designs, the use of certain type of movements, dials and new materials. It seems that the watchmakers who have been working on their watches for so long now, finally gain the respect they reserve. It seems that people are fed up with the same old same old that the large watch companies and luxury groups are putting them up with.
If you are interested in independent watchmaking, one of the shows you've just got to attend this year is the Watch 2009, organized by (a.o) WatchUseek. I've visited Watch 2008 in Maastricht and I was more than impressed by the laid-back atmosphere, the exhibitors and the location. A report on this event can be read here.
The WatchUseek blog team will high-light a few of the watch brands attending the Watch 2009 in Maastricht and Hamburg. Today, it will be the fabulous watchmaking skills by Armin Mantei (named after the founder himself). Affordable handcrafted watches, made all by the master himself. And more, there will be only one of each watch, the so called 'Einzelstücke'.
A. Mantei watches are available in stainless steel only, but the dials are either silver or gold, but finished with pulverized enamel, as shown in the model above (Merak). The stainless steel watch cases are fairly big (approximately 42mm) but flat enough to make it a useable watch for all kinds of occasions.
Mantei watches are truly handcrafted, which means that no CNC-machines have been used, and the hands, dials and lunettes are all labour by hand. Because of this, Armin Mantei is able to create unique watches entirely based on the customer's demand. Opposite to a lot of other watchbrands who have their watches assembled and crafted somewhere else, Armin Mantei does everything by himself, except for creating the mechanical movement. However, he does make sure they are getting the right amount of attention.
The movements used are automatic mechanical movements by ETA. The A. Mantei models with hours, minutes, seconds (and some times datewindow) are powered by the proven ETA 2824-2 movement. The 'Benetnash' model for example, a chronograph, uses the famous ETA Valjoux 7750 movement and is nicely engraved by hand (as shown below).
Armin Mantei (1961) is a master watchmaker (Uhrmachermeister in German) since 1977 and started his own watch brand on the 21st of August 2007, almost 2 years ago.
His firm is located in the nortern part of Germany (above Hamburg) and besides the possibility of giving his store a visit, you can also order his watches on-line.
Make sure to pay the A. Mantei booth a visit when you are visiting the Watch 2009 event in Hamburg.
