Trip to Austria
We also feel that we should address, again, at least some questions and shouts appearing in the comments.
1. Until year hear it from us, any published release dates are purely speculation coming from sales departments of our distribution partners. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, the game is not far from completion, but we are dedicated to quality, not to particular release date.
2. There won't be multiplayer in ETS2. With the size of our world, doing MP right is not an easy thing. Trust us that we are thinking hard on how to put multiplayer into our games and how to do it The Right Way, but you will still need to be patient with us, it is not doable in the timeframe of this project. Delaying the game any more because of this feature is not an option for us.

Yes, seat adjustment would be nice thing. So if you basically lover your seat, the camera will go littlebit down and so on.ReplyDelete
I think, this is a good idea, because player can find the best place to enjoy driving a truck then. :)
Very nice pictures SCS! Waiting for tomorrow already!
Show guys!ReplyDelete
Very beautiful landscapes. Congratulations.
Eagerly await the release of the game.

I'm glad you finished work on shaping indicators and even something very nice out I noticed that there are signs that indicate the Bratislava but still hope to see some pictures and to be directed toward and reach Budapest and in Romania and to be and the map of Romania in the game until its completion will announce the official date of launch, and I want to see some pictures of brake marks on the pavement when we had to brake suddenly to change direction but went trailers leave a mark on a certain I left some filming with asphalt marks braking and also hopefully oversized be something more complex but also with escort cars which would become more interesting, and also please change the lights when they give the long vase not to be forced to extinguish them all again to get my cards short phase and expect to see you something new that would make the game much more interested in the above 18 wos pttm as visible marks on the pavement when brakes I hope we find these elements in the game you're going to be released and once again my congratulations for the work excuse my English.ReplyDelete
Regulagem do banco seria muito bom mesmo. Assim como as outras regulagens de um veículo, volante, espelhos.
Suspensão pneumática também seria muito bom, além de legal seria muito realista.
Lindo trabalho, perfeito.
Muito obrigado SCS Soft. Sabia que seria bom não apressar o lançamento do jogo. Enquanto estiverem dentro de seu orçamento podem demorar o quento quiserem.

SCS the best graphics i have ever seen in a gameReplyDelete
the Scania is perfect the game looks so real
that i can not believe it keep the good job
and one more word:just perfect.
P.S.Do not here the complains of the others,they do not know.
Wow this very good news!!!! Also game looks great!ReplyDelete
Very well, I always agree with you.ReplyDelete
First the quality of the game.
Good job.
just cant wait SCS :) and yeah? what about eurotrucksimulator2.pl ? They posted the date of the release... is it wrong?ReplyDelete
Wonderful Shots, amazing work! Go on like this!ReplyDelete
Greets from the ETScom-Team
I really like what I`m seeing.ReplyDelete
This looks very good and very promising.
It is easy to conclude that you SCS really work hard on this game.
But,I also think that details make the game.Ofcourse,in this type of game,handling is the most important thing,whitout it,this game is not an simulator.
But,like I said,details are also much important.
For example,this navigator is done great,but,it would be a LOT better to have it on dash.
And I think I see that instruments are glowing againg.Instrumenst should glow just when you turn on headlights.
Ofcourse,this things are just suggestion.
Even without it this is looking to be a great game.(Just PLEASE do handling as it should be :D )
Continue good work

SCS, I'm in love with these pictures. They look so complete, such nice scenery and such "clean" looking grahpics. The Scania truck is wondeful, truly amazing! The mirros, including the extra mirrors (not the side one) are finally tuned properly. And the GPS looks amazing, like it would be a huge help in getting to your destination. The sunsets are beautiful, so realistic, and the lighting effects are fantastic.ReplyDelete
This will be such a great game, don't rush the end of it, and judging by these pictures, that ending isn't far! Great work SCS, in fact outstanding.
I guess, we can't see well on these mirrors.ReplyDelete
Please change this! :-)

Very nice to see it, the graphic is great, Scania cool. Good to see that I can run this game at maximum graphics'll have to buy another machine. But I have some ideas here that will weigh a lot or impair the game and I know that many people will approve it. 1. Tire wear, from time to time. 2. Adjust how many actual minutes will spend a day in the game. type, place to spend the day in the real game in 30 minutes or more or less. 3. And, the truck gets dirty. Well I know it weighs a little in the last graph, but can at least apply one of these three in the game, we are happy blog.ReplyDelete

Please change the view by the mirrors !ReplyDelete
Very nice, looking forward to the next set. I was wondering, would it be a hard task to make the radio actually working? I mean, the radio would have the name of the song you are playing through the integrated music player displayed on the screen. Other "small" (don't know what size of a task this is actually to do) thing would be the route advisor integrated on the dashboard screen.ReplyDelete
Anyways, looks very nice. Good luck with the rest of the development and keep the flag high, even tho noobies are bothering you everywhere you post new stuff.

And those mirrors SERIOUSLY need some BIG adjusting. If we could adjust them ourselves, that would be great. But....You MUST adjust them....Cuz it looks completely WICKED to stare into the road in the mirrors....YOU SHOULD LOOK BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU SEE IN THE MIRRORS... Just sayin'
Left mirror like OMSI :DReplyDelete

Nice job scs team! and thenkx for answer at question;;) good luck and put romania map:DReplyDelete
Good work, really. Graphics is just amazing.ReplyDelete
But I got some small things i really want you to deal with.
1.Being able to adjust the mirrors(both sides). This include the mirrors on the top.
2.Being able to have navigator on dash.
3.Change your seat position. Up/down/Back/forward, Or changing the drivers "eyes". Up/down/Left/right/back/forward.
4.Make an V8 Scania sound!!!! i havn't seen a video on a while so i don't know if you are making a V8 sound or not, This would be a great thing that any Scania V8 fans would LOVE !!!!
5.Also i saw someone comment to create an CB radio to communicate with other drivers(in your company though). I think this is a very good idea and then it would be one more of thousands awesome things in ETS 2!
6.This is the best thing: KEEP UP THE DAMN GOOD JOB SCS !!!!! This game just looks perfect! But with these adjustments it would be awesome !!
Thanks in advance

Are You a Button Presser or a Knob Turner?
So, I'm a knob turner, I've discovered. But there are plenty of button pressers. All those people who exclaim you can do something "at the touch of a button!"? They're button pressers. That's all well and good for them, but give me a knob to turn any day.
So, how about you? Are you as thrilled as me by turning a knob? Or are you in the "touch of a button" camp? Do tell.
Also, this is a very roundabout way of telling you all that I decided on the 1008. I put a deposit down today and will pick it up next Friday! I thought hard about my options, but I just really liked using the 1008. I must have been swayed by all those glorious knobs.
Thanks again for your help!

Vintage fashion, 21st century technologies. We're blogging about vintage right now, aren't we?ReplyDelete
I like how my machine trills electronically when I plug her in. Like saying "Hello Steph, let's get sewing."
Most definitely knob turner! And a switch flicker, lever mover...etc. I like to take the road less traveled.ReplyDelete
I am a bit of both. I have two digital machines and 4 manual machines, if you include sergers. I also use the manual machine to teach sewing. If I had to choose, I would call myself an old button pusher. My first digital machine is almost 15 yrs old is very much buttons. My new machine doesn't even have buttons, just a touch screen like an iPhone (but not as user friendly). The newer one is too complicated for me to learn and I keep telling myself that I should sell it.ReplyDelete
I am a knob turner. And I secretly in my head voted for the mechanical machine!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your new prize - may it bring you many, many hours of sewing bliss!
- MarlenaFebruary 5, 2010 at 10:05 PM
Yay for knob turners! So excited you're getting the 1008! I'm still pretty infatuated with my mine. It's ridiculous really; I've got quite the crush. ;-)ReplyDelete
I'll be happily following your adventures with your new machine. I hope you reward yourself for the money you're "saving" by buying a couple of the special feet. The Bernina website has short videos showing how they each work.
I'm a button presser, but an all around Bernina lover! You'll love it!ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm TOTALLY a button presser kind of girl!! I realized that understanding the physicality of what I'm doing makes the process make more sense.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I have a 1006 and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!ReplyDelete
Both, love my older Bernina with buttons and my old Kenmore with knobs.ReplyDelete
Also, I have listed vintage patterns in my etsy shop and need to find homes for them. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. I will be adding more almost every day.
I'm... undecided. But my machine has both! Things like triple stitch are buttons, and others are knobs! Yay!ReplyDelete
Definitely a knob turner. My main machine is a Singer 401, so knobs, definitely!!ReplyDelete
Knob tuner and slider alonger.ReplyDelete
Does that count as a knob?

Knobs all the way!ReplyDelete
How exciting! Looking forward to future post while you get to know your 1008!ReplyDelete
Knob turner here. Love dials, gauges and sliders, and don't get me STARTED on levers!
Button pusher ;) I think knobs kind of freak me out. I usually turn them too much or not enough. lol.ReplyDelete
Congrats on your decision! Isn't it strange that when it comes down to it, it's small things like button pressing/knob turning that makes us make up our mind? To me it's a bit surrealistic pressing a button when reversing; lifting the handle makes much more sense, haha. I guess that makes me a knob turner. Nevertheless, I'm like Winnie the Pooh: I would like one of each. Both the mechanical and the electrical have some appeal to me, but I think that's related to my curiosity to where are the differences apart from buttons and knobs? You can't really find out from reading comments and instructions, you'd have to feel it... (maybe this is just some frenzied excuse to buy a new sewing machine???)ReplyDelete
I'm a knob turner. With the digital ones, I wonder if there's more that could go wrong and need more repairs. I haven't researched this, though.ReplyDelete
A button presser here. I was a knob turner for ages, but then I met my Pfaff 2134. And I fell for her head over heels. So i guess I switched camps :-)ReplyDelete
Congrats on your new machine! ;) I have to say, having not used a machine with buttons excessively, by default I'm a knob girl. ;) When I have used machines with buttons I spend far too much time searching for the right one though--simpler is better, imho! ;) lolReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2010 at 7:42 AM
knob turner - its so nice to feel something mechanical happening in there when you turn a knob. Lots of very satisfying 'clunks'ReplyDelete
I've never used a sewing machine with buttons but I love using the buttons on my knitting machine. So I guess I am a buttonaholic! Who would have thought?ReplyDelete
I think of myself as more of a button PUSHER, which is a whole other thing...ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new Bernina -- can't wait to hear about it.
argh!! I know that I will soon be seduced into buying one after I have seen what you turn out with yours!! xReplyDelete
So delighted you went for the 1008! I think I'm more of a knob turner--there is something more satisfying about understanding just how much to adjust a knob or dial to get exactly what you want. It feels like more of an accomplishment than just pushing a button. Although should someone present me with a button-laden new machine, I'd certainly give it a try...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2010 at 9:36 AM
very nice choice!ReplyDelete
Knobs for me, unless I'm in an elevator-then I want buttons!
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I am presently a button pusher but only by default. I'm just excited to have a machine that works and I don't feel like throwing out the window EVERY time I try to sew.ReplyDelete
Give me knobs any day! All I want is a sturdy machine with basic functions. Am also a bit mistrustful of computerised machines - am sure the product life will be shorter in the long run, but am not going to spend lots of £££ just to find out. I bet you can't wait for the new machine!ReplyDelete
Knob turner. My sewing machine is a Viking SLE 6570. The manual was printed 8/79. I love it, it is almost like the machine I learned to sew one except all the workings were reconditioned as part of a teaching course for the dealers so it was like the machine was brand new when I bought it. My SIL has a newish embroidery/sewing machine with lots of buttons. I showed her how to work it and clean it but I was thinking the whole time that if it had been my machine it would have been simpler to do.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new sewing machine. I'm a button presser, but don't have a problem turning a knob or two. ;-) My back up machine has knobs.ReplyDelete
I'm a knob turner. I think it has something to do with knowing what is happening when I turn a knob and being able to turn it a half stop if needed. When you push a button... what's going on back there?! Its like those commercials when you pop something in the microwave and there is a whole team of chef's behind the scene cooking your meal... =)ReplyDelete
Presser. Fer sure.ReplyDelete
I have a Bernina 1008 and they are great for free motion machine embroidery.ReplyDelete
Have fun with your new machine.x
Knob turner. Still going strong on a 1976 Singer Stylist. I... trust it. When it breaks, the parts will get replaces. Something about the computerized ones feels risky to me. Like it it breaks, it'll need to be replaced. But my sister has a button-pushing machine. So be it.ReplyDelete
I'm a knob turner. I get a little sense of glee every time I hear the internal gears switching while I turn the dials. So I guess I'm really a sewing nerd and a knob turner.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on the new machine!
I like your distinction between button pressers and knob turners--I hadn't thought of it that way.ReplyDelete
I'm a knob turner--somehow I feel that turning a knob gives me more control over the machine.
- lorenakittyFebruary 6, 2010 at 7:33 PM
I've got both and am stalking a treadle machine (last time the power went out I nearly died!!!) I love my new computerized machine although I admit I'm secretly terrified it's brain will fry mid project someday.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2010 at 8:07 PM
Congratulations on your new machine! Looking forward to hearing all about how beautifully it sews.ReplyDelete
I'm envious...a new machine. You could say I am a combination of being both a button pusher and knob turner. There are merits in both types of machines. Congrats on your new machine and ~Happy Sewing~.ReplyDelete
You will love your new Bernina! Congrats. I would suggest one thing...buy the zipper foot #4 that is all one piece. It is much slimmer and works much nicer than the clip on jobbie you get with the 1008. This is a great machine and Bernina still makes them because they are so popular for schools.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new Bernina! You will LOVE it! I am a button pusher, though!!!!!!! I have the 430 and think it is just the greatest thing ever.ReplyDelete
- kiwichickFebruary 7, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Good choice! I have a Bernina 1001 (older model of the 1008), love it, very simple to use. Its 19 years old and still going strong!ReplyDelete
Like kiwichick I also have a 20+ year old Bernina 1001 and I adore it. It's never had to be serviced (but I'm very anal about cleaning and oiling it) and it always works perfectly. You made an excellent decision my dear!ReplyDelete
I'm all knobs. There's something satisfying about the "click click click" noise the knobs make on my machine. It's like I'm really doing something.ReplyDelete
i didn't THINK i was a button pusher until i met my husqvarna 118. it was at the top end of my price range but after testing out a lot of machines i just kept coming back to the 118's "needle up / down" button. simple, i know, but it makes sewing so much easier for me.ReplyDelete
I'll take knobs over buttons any day! They're much more satisfying. :) I have my mom's old Singer, from the 60's, love it - used my MIL's new machine the other day and all the button pressing drove me crazy, and for some weird reason I was terrified I would sew through my fingers the whole time....ReplyDelete
Another hand up for the knob turner team. I have a Bernina 931 Record and my favourite thing is the knee lever. (I think I could swing both ways though if I had the option of a machine with buttons.)ReplyDelete
I'm a button pusher. It always feels more accurate for me, and very familiar since it's similar to my computer which I'm on almost all the time lol.ReplyDelete
I'm a button presser. Congrats on your new machine! :)ReplyDelete
I am totally a knob turner! My mom has that same Bernina, and I have her old Singer from when she graduated from high school.ReplyDelete
knob turners ftw!!!ReplyDelete
I guess it doesn't help that i learned on this incredibly ancient thing in my Gma's basement though...
I have just found your blog. Not really since last year when I travelled to 1955, did I find the joy that is sewing. Now I have on its way my coveted vintage sewing machine dream, the 1959 Singer 500 'ROCKETEER" which I am so excited about. IT has every foot imaginable and can do so (or should I say SEW) many things. I have a website now and have started to focus on one vintage minded blogger a month, though feg and march are taken, how would you feel about being interviewed and such for APRIL? Love your blog and idea. (oh the site is www.theapronrevolution.com thanks)ReplyDelete
I grew up on the farm and I was forever hearing that when you add electronics to a machine, it is one more thing to go wrong!! My experience is that the machine part tends to far outlast the electronics part and so I would have to say that I'm a knob turner until they can make a better button to press. I would love all the bells and whistles... but I can't afford to fix them when they break. Knob turning it is!!ReplyDelete
Goodness, I missed this post! Yey, congratulations - I've been wondering since reading the mechanical machines post what you went for! I hope you will be very happy with your 1008. And knob turner all the way. It feels more real in some way, a direct corralation between the action and reaction.ReplyDelete

You are also responsible for compliance with foreign law requirements applicable to the import, export and use of Fedora software and technical information.
搭建公共镜像非常简单,而且将越来越容易。您的网站拥有足够的带宽和磁盘空间来承担负载,这就是我们的全部要求。每个Fedora发行版都会消耗200GB以上的磁盘空间,并且下载者可能会耗尽您的全部带宽。镜像站点有至少100Mbps的带宽连接到互联网,现有许多站点是基于千兆或更高的带宽工作的。以 Fedora 8 发行版为例,其在主服务器上消耗的总空间(也是镜像站点要消耗的空间)达到了1.1TB并且仍在增长。1-2TB的空间适合于建立长期镜像。这是基于硬链接的空间概念,如果您不能使用硬链接(例如,使用AFS),您将需要更多的磁盘空间。实际磁盘空间消耗在此处给出
私人镜像是那些只能被内部人员访问的某些组织或者机构专有的镜像,例如公司,学校等等。这些镜像是为了在机构内部加快 Fedora 的分发而被开设,当然,这些镜像所处的网络对当地的流量消耗远少于连接因特网的。
- 镜像管理器的 publiclist 不会有显示。
- 无法从社区站点获取同步文件,只能寻求其他公共镜像。
- Private mirrors should include IP netblocks in their MirrorManager configuration. This allows your network-local users to be automatically redirected to your mirror. You may list IP netblocks (e.g. 184.108.40.206/8), or if your network is NAT'd, the hostname of your NAT gateway.
- Private mirrors are not crawled by the MirrorManager web crawler. As a corollary:
- Private mirrors must run report_mirror to inform the MirrorManager database of their content. If you don't run report_mirror, your clients will not be automatically redirected.
You may also find it more beneficial to run an IntelligentMirror instead of a full rsync mirror. In this way, only the updates your local users actually need will be cached on your local mirror, saving you the bandwidth from downloading updates you don't actually need.
镜像管理器:Fedora 项目的镜像管理系统
report_mirror 脚本和
mirrormanager-client 在每次
rsync 之后被运行以更新镜像管理数据库。
Fedora 账户系统
- 您必须有一个 Fedora 账户。关于其介绍见 。) 不过您不必为了镜像内容而去签署Contributors License Agreement,但是如果您想要在其他领域做贡献,您必须签署。
- 如果是公共镜像,您必须要发送一封邮件至
firstname.lastname@example.com来介绍一下您的镜像。同时这也是您想成为镜像的声明。注意这封邮件必须涵盖了您的镜像的 IP 地址,您的镜子所处国家或地区以及该镜像的流量和带宽。
- You must subscribe to mirror-list and (optionally) mirror-list-d (discussion) to be notified of new releases.
在 MirrorManager 中注册
- 使用您的 FAS 账户登录 mirrormanager ;
- 创建一个新站点;
- create a new Host, and sign up that host for the Categories of content you'll carry, any other site administrators you want, your site's IP addresses used for our Access Control List, and the other details listed there if applicable to you
- Please run
report_mirrorafter each rsync run.
- You may list your site's IP address ranges (Netblocks). Clients coming from an IP address within your netblock will be automatically redirected to your mirror for any content you carry.
- You may list your site's BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN). Clients on your ASN will be automatically redirected to your mirror for any content you carry. One way to lookup up your ASN is to query it from the routeviews.org DNS servers. It is like a PTR record lookup, but at a specific server. For example, to look up 188.8.131.52, type:
$ dig txt 22.214.171.124.asn.routeviews.org @archive.routeviews.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: 184.108.40.206.asn.routeviews.org. 86400 IN TXT "3614" "126.96.36.199" "16"
Here, the answer is in the TXT record, the first value, 3614.
The only sane way to do mirroring is to use
rsync. Note the options
-H (hardlinks),
--numeric-ids and
--delete-after are required to ensure your mirror content stays valid even during a new rsync run, until all the new data is available.
rsync -vaH --exclude-from=${EXCLUDES} --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after --delay-updates \ rsync://dl.fedoraproject.org/fedora-enchilada ${LOCAL_DIR}
- You may exclude any content you desire, such as architectures, using an EXCLUDES file.
- Please pull from one of the Tier 1 mirrors. See Infrastructure/Mirroring/Tiering . Instead of using one of the Tier 1 servers, you may wish to pull from another fast mirror that's closer to you. Contact the respective mirror admins to be added to their ACL.
- You should sync shortly after 0800 UTC (when rawhide is pushed), 1400 UTC (when bitflips occur), and another 3-5 times per day (updates are manually released).
- You should add some random value to the start time of your rsync jobs, to even out load on the upstream mirrors. A cron line might look like:
45 */6 * * * perl -le 'sleep rand 1800' && bash -l ~/mirror-fedora > /dev/null
- If you are using rsync 3.0 or higher, you can use the
--delete-delayoption instead of
--delete-after, which is reported to provide faster performance.
运行 report_mirror
report_mirror ,which can upload to the mirror database that you completed a run and what content you've got. This makes generating the yum mirrorlists and all other pages much much simpler. Please run
report_mirror after every rsync job completes.
yum install mirrormanager-client
或者访问 report_mirror files获取代码。您也可以使用 git 来获取:
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/mirrormanager 或者 git clone http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/mirrormanager/
您需要 report_mirror 和 report_mirror.conf,且必须配置 report_mirror.conf 以便识别您的磁盘上所有镜像文件位置。
The available content modules by rsync, and their point in the directory tree are:
Suggested rsync modules
|rsync module
|path on master server
|Fedora - the whole enchilada
|Please use this if you can, it provides the all current Fedora content, including pre-bitflip content. This is open to specific mirrors by request. Mirrors participating in our tiering should use this.
|Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux
|Please use this to mirror EPEL
|Historical Fedora releases
|Fedora Core 1-6 and Extras 3-6, and obsolete releases 7 and higher
|Fedora Secondary Arches
|Fedora Other
These other modules exist for legacy purposes, and should be avoided by current mirrors.
|rsync module
|path on master server
|Fedora - the whole enchilada
|Please use this if you can, it provides the all Fedora content except pre-bitflip content. This is open for the general public to use.
|Fedora Linux Releases
|Fedora Linux Development (Rawhide)
|Fedora Linux Updates
|Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux
|EPEL doesn't do the bitflip trick, so this is the same as fedora-epel0 above.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta
RHEL beta releases are also managed via MirrorManager. Fedora's Tier 1 mirrors may sync these modules.
|rsync module
|path on master server
|on rhm3.redhat.com
DVDs, CDs, and the exploded trees
When a new release is available, it can be bandwidth-efficient to download only the ISOs first (say, the DVD ISOs), then explode those into the directory structure, then run a full normal rsync run. This lets you avoid downloading the same RPMs twice (both on ISOs and as plain RPMs). There's a tool somewhere to help do this.
Regular hardlink runs
While the Fedora release maintainers try to keep as little redundant packaging around as possible, there are some duplicate packages in the tree. For example, when a Fedora Test release comes out, the package set included there looks remarkably like that of the development tree from a few days before. By copying the development tree over into the new Test directory before starting your rsync run, and using
rsync -H, you can avoid downloading all that content a second time.
In addition, it's good practice to run a tool like
hardlink++ on your tree occasionally (say, weekly), to ensure as much of your tree as possible is hardlinked.
Pre-Release: Copying Development tree to new release directory
In the days leading up to a release, either test or final, the development tree will stop taking new packages, and will closely resemble what winds up in the new release. As a mirror, you can avoid downloading content that already is in your copy of the development tree that matches what's in the release tree by copying those packages using hardlinks, such as:
cp -lr fedora/linux/development/13/i386/os fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/ cp -lr fedora/linux/development/13/x86_64/os fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/ cp -lr fedora/linux/development/13/source fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/
and then start the rsync process, which will clean up any changes and fix up the timestamps.
Rsync Configuration (sample)
Larger mirrors, like kernel.org, have slightly custom front-ends to rsync (mainly so that they can have a single rsync instance and have multiple ip based vhost configuration files) That said what follows is a sample rsync configuration file for public syncing (this is not intended for private pre-bitflip mirroring)
[fedora] comment = Fedora - RedHat community project path = <path to your fedora directory> exclude = lost+found/ read only = true max connections = 100 lock file = /var/run/rsyncd-mirrors.lock uid = <user id (numeric, or textual) of an anonymous style user who should have read access> gid = <group id (numeric, or textual) of an anonymous style user who should have read access> transfer logging = yes timeout = 900 ignore nonreadable = yes dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.Z *.rpm *.deb *.bz2 refuse options = checksum
Things to explicitly note:
- The path above should be a full path to your fedora directory
- You should *really* want to leave this read-only
- Make sure your uid/gid are set to public users, not to the user that you run as your sync agent. If you set this to the user who does your syncs you will be inadvertently giving the public full pre-bitflip access.
- Make sure you have the 'refuse options' set to checksum, your server will be *MUCH* happier with this set, as it will prevent public users from performing a checksum run against you. This can be incredibly I/O abusive, so should not be available to the general public.
HTTPd 配置
HTTP Keepalives should be enabled on your mirror server to speed up client downloads. By default, Fedora's Apache httpd package has keepalives disabled. They should be enabled, with a timeout of at least 2 seconds (the default of 15 seconds might be too high for a heavily loaded mirror server, but 2 seconds is sufficient and appropriate for yum).
KeepAlive On KeepAliveTimeout 2 MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
Other http servers such as lighttpd have keepalives enabled by default.
Caching of metadata
We don't want caching proxy servers between our mirrors and our end user systems to cache our yum repository metadata. So, add explicit metadata handling. (Suggested by the OpenSUSE download redirector.)
<LocationMatch "\.(xml|xml\.gz|xml\.asc|sqlite)$"> Header set Cache-Control "must-revalidate" ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "now" </LocationMatch>
Redirecting ISO downloads to FTP
While no longer a recommended practice, the following mod_rewrite rules will force all *.iso files to be downloaded via FTP. In this example HEAD requests are not redirected, so the MirrorManager crawler is not disrupted.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET RewriteRule ^(.*\.iso)$ ftp://myserver/$1 [L,R=301]
Content Types
ISO and RPM files should be served using MIME Content-Type: application/octet-stream. In Apache, this can be done inside a VirtualHost or similar section:
<VirtualHost *:80> AddType application/octet-stream .iso AddType application/octet-stream .rpm </VirtualHost>
Limiting Download Accelerators
Download accelerators will try to open the same file many times, and request chunks, hoping to download them in parallel. This can overload heavily loaded mirror servers, especially on release day. Here are some tricks to thwart such activities.
To limit connections to ISO dirs by some amount per IP:
<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c> MaxConnPerIP 6 </IfModule>
To block ranged requests as this is what download accelerators do indeed:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} [0-9] $ RewriteRule \.iso$ / [F,L]
Similar things can be done with iptables and the recent module, which might give you a little more ability to control what is being done, either by limiting new connections or by dropping 50% of a users packets.
Logging Partial Content Downloads
Partial content can be logged correctly using apache:
# this includes actual counts of actual bytes received (%I) and # sent (%O); this requires the mod_logio module to be loaded. LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" %I %O \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
Pre-bitflip mirroring
Several days before each public release, the content will be staged to the master mirror servers, but with restricted permissions on the directories (generally mode 0750), specifically, not world readable.
Mirror servers should have several different user/group accounts on their server, for running the different public services. Typically you find:
- HTTP server runs as user apache, group apache
- FTP server runs as user ftp, group ftp
- RSYNC server runs as user rsync, group rsync
- a user account for downloading content from the masters (e.g. user mirror, group mirror).
The user account used to download content from the masters must be not be the same as the HTTP, FTP, or RSYNC server accounts. This guarantees that content downloaded with permissions 0750 will not be made available via your public servers yet.
On the morning of the public release, the permissions on the directories on the master servers will change to 0755 - world readable. This is called the bitflip.
Mirrors may either rsync one more time to pick up these new permissions (but won't have to download all the data again), or preferably, can schedule a batch job to bitflip:
$ echo "chmod a+rx /pub/fedora/linux/releases/9" | at '14:45 UTC May 13 2008'
Serving content to other mirrors
Tier 1 mirrors will necessarily need to share content to Tier 2 mirrors before the bitflip. This is done by running another instance of the rsync daemon, on a different port (e.g. 874), with an Access Control List to prevent public downloads, running as a user in the same group as downloaded the content (e.g. group mirror). This could be user mirror, group mirror, who has group read/execute permissions on the still-private content.
Tier 1 mirrors have a tendency to use different authentication methods for granting access to these non-public downloads, they vary from maintaining IP based ACL's to assigning username/password combinations to mirrors wishing to sync from them. Each method has advantages / disadvantages, the IP list is 'simpler' from a mirrormanager perspective as mirrormanager can give you the list of IP's but from an automation standpoint can be more difficult (as rsync's configuration file does not allow that ACL list to be stored in a separate file). Username / passwords can be more versatile as sites mirroring can change IPs without notifying you, but it's easier for those credentials to leak out and get miss-used.

from Austin - Texas
We were truly amazed at the efficiency with which this was, not only beautifully put together, but delivered. The arrangement was artistically mixed; we ordered just before noon, and by 5:00pm that same day it was delivered and rested in place at the viewing. 100% pleased! Thank you Sympathy Store! Your service is a blessing!
from Ellsworth - Wisconsin
I loved the name and it was so much easier in our time of sorrow than having to call someone who will deliver and then not knowing what it would look like. I loved it.
from Joshua - Texas
The bouquet was much smaller than I thought it would be and was not purple as advertised. I did not recognize it as what I ordered.
from Knoxville - Tennessee
Lovely. I love the white roses.
from Hughesville - Pennsylvania
I called Funeral Home, they said these flowers were never delivered.
Please reply before I contact law officers as this seems like a fraud ?
from Glen Cove - New York
This beautiful bouquet was exactly what I ordered. Am very pleased with my order.
from Anniston - Alabama
This arrangement was beautiful! I ordered this so my friend could take them home. The flowers got so many compliments. Thank you for meeting my expectations on the Enchanted Cottage.
from -
Flowers were absolutely stunning and right on time. Will use again!
from Midlothian - Virginia
When I arrived at the funeral home to see the deceased and was thanked for the flowers, I was quite disappointed to see such a small arrangement considering I purchased the "Deluxe" version. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I thought deluxe would mean a larger vase / larger arrangement. After spending $105, I was quite disappointed. I do see the arrangement contained white roses, which were beautiful and fresh, but the arrangement was not at all full as displayed in the photo.
from Fort Myers - Florida
Was not as large or impressive as I thought it was going to be.
from Delton - Michigan
This is the picture we were thinking we were getting and then found it was $94.95. The one we got for $64.95 was terrible and very sickly looking with no darker purple in it at all. The Sympathy Store was good and refunded part of our money back though and we appreciate that, but still feel bad that what we got for the funeral looked so bad. I guess we're going by what we can get here in Battle Creek, Mi. of $35 for something nice like this.
Ordered for delivery same day due to short notice, and delivered ON TIME, and fairly closely resembling
the arrangement image on line. Very satisfied.
My order did not make it to the funeral home in time. However, Sympathy Store refunded my money and had the assigned florist send the selected arrangement to the bereaved family's home address.
Again they made a sad situation right....
Thank you Sympathy Store
from Minneapolis - Minnesota
The flowers arrived 3 hours after the service and did not even look fresh The church called me the evening of the service to tel me about the late delivery and when i picked them up they looked bad the bouquet was dead the following morning. Do not order from these people.
from Colonia - New Jersey
Flowers weren't fulled bloomed in the bouquet. Looked cheap.
from Rowlett - Texas
I ordered this arrangement for my mother in laws service. After tax and service fees (?) it was almost $85.00. Looks Nothing like the picture. Nowhere near as full as the picture, VERY DISAPPOINTED !
from Flat Rock - North Carolina
Was very disappointed - delivered the day before the visitation - was already wilted looking the evening of the visitation. Arrangement did not look like picture.
from Las Vegas - Nevada
from Bedford - Texas
I ordered the flowers for one of my staffs grandmother. It was a very easy process and the flowers were delivered faster than I had anticipated and they looked beautiful.
from Cleveland - Ohio
Was not satisfied with my order it didn't look at all like this picture it had purple roses and white moms and a white ribbon very drab
I was very disapointed in the flowers that I ordered,they looked nothing like the picture. The deceased loved white roses that why I ordered these,but the vase came with purple roses and white mum ish and a white ribbon,and I wanted purple because that was her favorite color.They certainly were not worth $127 dollars.very disatified.
On time.Was a beautiful arrangement.
I purchased the Enchanted Cottage arrangement for my 19 year old niece we lost to a car accident. Being 2,000 miles away, it was important to me that the flowers reflect or s sympathy and love for her. The Sympathy Store handled everything perfectly. Nor only were the flowers fresh and beautiful, the company was very responsive, caring, and professional. I highly recommend them, and will use them in the future.
The flowers were beautiful. they were delivered right on time and they were a good value. the family was most appreciative. They used them at the table where the programs were given out-so everyone saw them. Thanks.
The arrangement is beautiful and the process was very easy to complete.
I loved the purple and white flowers. They looked fantastic!
The arrangement was absolutely beautiful. They were delivered on time. I was very pleased.
Thank you,
Ruth Johnson
Three types offered let's just say small medium and large. I ordered the large which I expected to look like the photo but what arrived looked like the "small". I was not pleased but the bigger picture was more important. Just beware. Don't go for the gold when you may only get the bronze.
This is a very beautiful arrangement. The flowers were very fresh and beautifully arranged.
They were very nice!
Absolutely beautiful arrangement, very happy with these flowers! The family says that they still look fresh as when they were new. Worth the money that was spent.
This arrangement was just wonderful, it looked exactly like the picture. The family and I were very pleased.
The process was very easy, and the flowers were just as pictured. I recommend this service very highly.
The flowers were elegant and uplifting
Forgot to look at them.
We were pleased with the arrangement from my daughter's to their gma. Thank you again
Better than pictured.
You rarely get what you see online. These guys did it! Thank you!
The flowers we ordered were fresh and beautiful ! Just like the picture. Thank you !
These flowers were sent to a funeral home to honor an employee's loved one. I was told they were the nicest arrangement of all that were there. I was shown a picture they took and it looked exactly like what was on the website.
Was unable to attend but am tokd the arrangement was beautiful.
We were not able to attend our son in law's fathers funeral. We selected the above arrangement and the family was very pleased with it. He sent us a picture and expressed his appreciation for them.
Sorry, was not impressed with the arrangement. It was very small and flowers did not look fresh. Thank you anyway.
Everyone at my aunt's wake was admiring the flowers. I ordered the arrangement less than 24 hours, and was happy that it got delivered on time - as the store assured.
Service, communication, delivery and flower arrangement were spectacular!!
I had originally tried ordering (I hadn't seen the Sympathy Store yet) from a local florist who was recommended to me, and they were out almost out of flowers and couldn't take my order. The other local florist was closed. I looked at what The Sympathy Store had to offer, called with a question, ordered online and they were delivered in under 3 hours!!! And...they were beautiful, exactly as shown and she said they were "perfect"! The Sympathy Store saved the day!
I was very dissatisfied with the flower arrangement. The one sent was white and a majority of the flowers were withered. The flower ordered was "Enchanted Cottage." The chosen flower was to reflect Rev. C.A. Latimer's fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, which purple is one of the colors. Again I was very disappointed in the service.
A refund is requested.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the size of this arrangement. I specifically selected the Premium version and paid more to get a really nice flower arrangement. What I got was much smaller than most arrangements and frankly I was a bit embarrassed.
I was disappointed in the arrangement. I ordered the premium size arrangement because I thought it would be a really nice size.
It was not worth the money that I paid.
The arrangement was beautiful, fresh and arrived on time at the funeral home.
It happens that I was at the venue to see the floral arrangement I had ordered. It was fresh and beautiful and a great comfort both to me and to the other family members that I intended to uplift in spirit. Though the life of a flower is short, it is meaningful and the beauty greatly manifests the love for which it was intended. Thank you for following through with a lovely product.
Thank you for this arrangement of flowers for our friends funeral. We just ordered and you made sure it was delivered that morning. Was so easy!
Very satisfied with the arrangement. The flowers were very fresh and bright! Is there a way I can inquire are to what florist did the arrangement? I would like to order from them for personal use.
Ordered the Enchanted Cottage as a sympathy arrangement for a sudden unexpected loss. The arrangement was beautiful and more impressive in person that the picture justified. Very pleased with the purchase and sure help comfort the grieving family. Ordered online and was delivered next day without issue. Definitely would order again when the need arises.
Tne content was very inspiring and heartwarming. I will read it often to remember my sister.
We purchased the Deluxe (Mid size) and they were beautiful, large and smelled wonderful. They were placed near the register book and everyone commented on their beauty. We were well satisfied with this arrangement.
Beautiful !! Prettier than the picture.
The arrangement filled the room with joy rather than sorrow. Not the usual funeral fare of gaudy sadness. A lush bouquet I wished could have taken home with me.
My best friend's grandmother passed, and sine I'm on the other side of the country I had these delivered. I didn't see them, but she told me they were lovely.
This arrangement was perfect for saying farewell to a dear cousin.It was also portable so the family could take it with them after the service to enjoy at home.
The flowers were fresh and the arrangement was just as beautiful as pictured. It was a graveside service and very windy, but the bouquet didn't lose a single petal. Well worth the money.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is launching the nation's most sweeping effort to curb gun violence in nearly two decades, urging a reluctant Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like those used in last month's massacre of 20 elementary school children in Newtown, Conn.
The broad package Obama will announce Wednesday is expected to include more than a dozen steps the president can take on his own through executive action. Those measures will provide a pathway for skirting opposing lawmakers, but they will be limited in scope, and in some cases, focused simply on enforcing existing laws.
But Congress would have to approve the bans on assault weapons and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 bullets, along with a requirement for universal background checks on gun buyers. Some gun control advocates worry that opposition from Republicans and conservative Democrats, as well as the National Rifle Association, will be too great to overcome.
"We're not going to get an outright ban," Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., said of limits on assault weapons. Still, McCarthy, a leading voice in Congress in favor of gun control, said she would keep pushing for a ban and hoped Obama would as well.
White House officials, seeking to avoid setting the president up for failure, have emphasized that no single measure — even an assault weapons ban — would solve a scourge of gun violence across the country. But without such a ban, or other sweeping Congress-approved measures, it's unclear whether executive actions alone can make any noticeable difference.
"It is a simple fact that there are limits to what can be done within existing law," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. "Congress has to act on the kinds of measures we've already mentioned because the power to do that is reserved by Congress."
New York's Assembly on Tuesday easily passed the toughest gun control law in the nation and the first since the Connecticut school shootings. The statewide measure includes a tougher assault weapons ban and provisions to try to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people who make threats.
Obama will announce his proposals in a midday event at the White House, flanked by children who wrote to him about gun violence following the massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Law enforcement officials, mayors from across the country and supportive congressional lawmakers are also expected to attend.
Obama has pledged urgent action to prevent future mass shootings, and his plan — coming just one month after the Newtown attacks — is swift by Washington standards.
The president's framework is based on recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden, who led a wide-ranging task force on gun violence. Beyond the gun control measures, Biden also gave Obama suggestions for improving mental health care and addressing violent images in video games, movies and television.
The vice president's proposals included 19 steps that could be achieved through executive action.
Obama may order the Justice Department to crack down on people who lie on background checks; only a tiny number are now prosecuted. Such a step has support from the National Rifle Association, which has consistently argued that existing laws must be enforced before new ones are considered.
He also could take steps ordering federal agencies to make more data on gun crimes available and conduct more research on the issue, something Republican congressional majorities have limited through language in budget bills. And he may order tougher penalties against gun trafficking and give schools flexibility to use grant money to improve safety.
Gun control proponent Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., who met with Biden on Monday, said the president is also likely to take executive action to ensure better state reporting of mental health and other records that go into the federal background check database. But he, too, acknowledged there were clear limits to what Obama can do without Congress' say-so.
"You can't change the law through executive order," Scott said.
White House officials signaled that Obama would seek to rally public support for the measures he puts forward, perhaps holding events around the country or relying on Organizing for America, his still-operational presidential campaign.
"The president's success in using this strategy, I think, is pretty notable," Carney said of Obama's efforts to engage the public in previous legislative fights. "He'll absolutely continue to engage with the American people on the policy proposals he's putting forward."
Still, it's unclear how much political capital Obama will exert in pressing for congressional action.
The White House and Capitol Hill will soon be consumed by three looming fiscal deadlines, each of which is expected to be contentious. And the president has also pledged to tackle comprehensive immigration reform early this year, another effort that will require Republicans' support and one in which Obama may be more likely to get their backing.
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the chamber's top Republican, has warned the White House that it will be at least three months before the Senate considers gun legislation. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said it is immigration, not gun control, that is at the top of his priority list after the fiscal fights.
House Republican leaders are expected to wait for any action by the Senate before deciding how — or whether — to proceed with any gun measure. Publicly, House GOP leaders are being careful not to rule anything out ahead of Obama's announcement.
"I can't respond to any particulars because I haven't even looked at the Biden recommendations, but I can tell you we're all very concerned about the deaths that occurred and the innocent lives lost, and if we bear that in mind, the kinds of things we can do to help make that not happen again," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Tuesday.
Privately, House Republicans voice skepticism that the debate will even get to the point of Senate action that would require a response by the House.
Associated Press writers Josh Lederman in Washington and Michael Virtanen in Albany, N.Y., contributed to this report.

OH 24 is the oldest fossil skull found at Olduvai Gorge; besides OH 5, it is the most complete.
The cranium was found crushed flat (hence the nickname) and cemented together with a coating of limestone. Little value was placed on the find originally, but after much effort by scientist Ron Clarke, the skull was reconstructed. Despite this effort, there still is a good deal of distortion from the fossilization process. The slightly small cranial capacity (just under 600 cubic centimeters) is attributed to this distortion. The face of the individual is prognathic (projects forward under the nose: see the third photograph down), as in other H. habilis individuals, but not quite to the extent of the earlier Australopithecus species. This specimen manifests the larger brain size and the reduction of facial size typical of the evolution of early Homo.
The individual's third molars had erupted, so we know that Twiggy was an adult at death. Yet the molars show no sign of wear (the points on the crowns of her teeth are still sharp, and show little sign of abrasion by rough food matter), indicating that that this individual probably died soon after their eruption.

Moth Balls Videos
A crystalline white hydrocarbon, naphthalene is well known for the aromatic odor it gives to moth balls. Derived from coal tar, it is used to manufacture plastics, dyes, solvents, and other chemicals. It is also used as an antiseptic and insecticide. The naphthalene molecule consists of two benzene rings sharing two adjacent carbon atoms and has the chemical formula C10H8.
Naphthalene is the major component of many types of moth balls, which have been used historically in clothing storage to kill adult and larval forms of the clothes moth. Eggs laid on fabric hatch into larvae that feed by chewing the cloth, causing damage to the fibers. Other types of moth balls contain paradichlorobenzene instead of naphthlalene.
In some areas of the country, it is a common practice to place moth balls throughout living areas to control odors as well as insects. This has occasionally led to problems of naphthalene toxicity when too many moth balls are used. Excessive naphthalene exposure can cause symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malaise, confusion, anemia, jaundice, and renal disease.

BINCHUAN, CHINA – Aliens from Gootan have been spotted throughout Yunnan province in China.
WWN continues to follow the landing of three large spaceships from Planet Gootan – that arrived on November 29th. One ship landed in the Bali Sea, near Kangean Island and two ships landed in a field near Lijang, China.
Some readers continue to be skeptical of the landings – but WWN has been following the developments closely. Is it an attack? It is not clear yet, but three aliens ships from Planet Gootan are now on earth and experts from the U.N. Panel of Extraterrestrials estimate that between ten thousand and thirty thousand Gootans are now on Earth.
Aliens were spotted near Binchuan, China – a city that was devastated by an earthquake in 2008.
According to sources in China, there have been hundreds of reports of strange apparitions, beings, moving through towns in Yunnan Province:
— ANNING. Three young girls (Qian Wang, Mei Yan and Ne Kuo) walking to school, saw five strange beings crossing a road. The beings stopped to look at them. The girls said that the beings seemed to have a ghost-like form and they emitted a pulsating glow. The beings started at them for a minute and then moved away. The girls said they felt "happy and calm" after seeing the beings.
The girls described the beings similar to this:
— FUYUAN. A truck driver (Yan Du) pulled over to the side of the road to sleep and was awakened by a shaking of his truck. He screamed when he realized his truck was in the air. He looked down and saw "purplish, glowing beings" holding up the truck and shaking it. He felt for sure that was going to die and then suddenly, the truck was put down on the road and the "beings" disappeared.
— YUTI – Two workers (Yan Tsih, and Andrew Yuo) at a grain mill took a smoke break and noticed strange lights moving through a nearby forest. They walked closer to have a look and – were knocked out cold. They woke up two hours later, lying on a soft bed of grass. They felt "renewed and alive" – but they had lost their jobs.
"Strange" alien beings have been spotted in Guangnan, Mengzi, Luxi, near Erahi Lake, Mainri Snow Mountain and the Mekong River. Many are talking about the sightings:
Dr. John Malley, the leader of the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials is in China monitoring the situation. "The Gootans are here. That is clear. They have not, yet, attacked any citizens and we are hoping that remains the case." Dr. Malley is joined by his team, including Banesh Bannerjee, the world's leading extraterrestrial expert and an alien doctor, Dr. Kelly McManus, who specializes in extraterrestrial medicine.
When asked why the Gootans have come, Malley said, "some speculated that they have come for our gold, or that they feel that humans are abusing the planet and want to take over, some speculate that they are here to do research on humans, others feel that they want to teach us, and there are some that believe they just want to destroy us."
The area around Kangean Island in the Bali Sea has not been seen again. "The ship could be anywhere," said Malley. "It will turn up soon."
As always, WWN will continue following this developing story… and please report any Gootan sightings in the comments section.


text: Back Arthritis What is arthritis? Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body. According to the CDC, nearly 50 million people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis or chronic joint symptoms. Arthritis, which literally means inflammation of a joint (where two or more bones meet), actually refers to more than 100 different diseases. Rheumatic diseases include any diseases that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints or other supportive body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are often mistakenly associated with old age because osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) occurs more often among elderly persons. However, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect people of all ages and are more common in women than men. Arthritis is usually chronic, which means that it rarely changes, or it progresses slowly. Specific causes for most forms of arthritis are not yet known. What are the parts of a joint? Joints are the areas where two bones meet. Most joints are mobile, allowing the bones to move. Joints consist of: Cartilage. A type of tissue that covers the surface of a bone at a joint. Cartilage helps reduce the friction of movement within a joint. Synovial membrane. A tissue called the synovial membrane lines the joint. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid (a clear, sticky fluid) around the joint to lubricate it. Ligaments. Strong ligaments (tough, elastic bands of connective tissue) surround the joint to give support and limit the joint's movement. Tendons. Tendons (another type of tough connective tissue) on each side of a joint attach to muscles that control movement of the joint. Bursas. Fluid-filled sacs, called bursas, between bones, ligaments, or other adjacent structures help cushion the friction in a joint. What are the most common types of arthritis? The three most prevalent forms of arthritis include: Osteoarthritis. The most common type of arthritis. It is a chronic disease involving the joints, particularly the weight-bearing joints such as the knee, hip, and spine. Osteoarthritis is characterized primarily by the destruction of cartilage and narrowing of the joint space. It can also include bone overgrowth, spur formation, and impaired function. It occurs in most people as they age, but also may occur in young people as a result of injury or overuse. Fibromyalgia. A chronic, widespread pain in muscles and soft tissues surrounding the joints throughout the body. Rheumatoid arthritis. An inflammatory disease that involves the lining of the joint (synovium). The inflammation may affect all of the joints. Other forms of arthritis, or related disorders, include the following: Gout. A result of a defect in body chemistry (such as uric acid in the joint fluid), this painful condition most often attacks small joints, especially the big toe. It can usually be controlled with medication and changes in diet. Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). A very serious, chronic, autoimmune disorder characterized by periodic episodes of inflammation of and damage to the joints, tendons, other connective tissues, and organs, including the heart, lungs, blood vessels, brain, kidneys, and skin. Scleroderma. A very serious disease of the body's connective tissue that causes thickening and hardening of the skin. Ankylosing spondylitis. A disease that affects the spine, causing the bones of the spine to grow together. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). A form of arthritis in children ages 16 or younger that causes inflammation and stiffness of joints for more than six weeks. Unlike adult rheumatoid arthritis, which is chronic and lasts a lifetime, children often outgrow JRA. However, the disease can affect bone development in the growing child. What are the symptoms of arthritis? The following are the most common symptoms of arthritis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Pain and stiffness in the joints Swelling in one or more joints Continuing or recurring pain or tenderness in a joint Difficulty using or moving a joint in a normal manner Warmth and redness in a joint The symptoms of arthritis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis. How is arthritis diagnosed? In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for arthritis may include: X-rays or other imaging procedures (to show the extent of damage to the joint) Blood tests and other laboratory tests, including: Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test (to check levels of antibodies in the blood) Arthrocentesis or joint aspiration (to remove a sample of the synovial fluid to determine if crystals, bacteria, or viruses are present) Complete blood count (to determine if white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet levels are normal) Creatinine (to monitor for underlying kidney disease) Sedimentation rate (to detect inflammation) Hematocrit (to measure the number of red blood cells) Rheumatoid factor test (to determine if rheumatoid factor is present in the blood) Urinalysis (to determine levels of protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, and casts) White blood cell count (to determine level of white blood cells in the blood) Uric acid (to diagnosis gout) HLA tissue typing (to look for genetic markers in ankylosing spondylitis) Skin biopsy (to diagnose a type of arthritis that involves the skin, such as lupus or psoriatic arthritis) Muscle biopsy (to diagnose arthritis or rheumatic diseases, such as polymyositis or vasculitis) Rehabilitation for arthritis An arthritis rehabilitation program is designed to meet the needs of the individual patient, depending on the type and severity of the arthritis. Active involvement of the patient and family is vital to the success of the program. The goal of arthritis rehabilitation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible while improving the overall quality of life--physically, emotionally, and socially. The focus of rehabilitation is on relieving pain and increasing motion in the affected joint(s). In order to help reach these goals, arthritis rehabilitation programs may include the following: Exercises and to control joint pain and swelling Exercises to improve mobility (movement) and physical fitness Heat and cold therapy Massage Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to help relieve pain Acupuncture Stress management and emotional support Joint immobilization and methods to protect the joints from further damage, degeneration, and deformities Nutritional counseling to improve weight control Use of assistive devices Patient and family education Rehabilitation after joint replacement The goal of hip and knee replacement surgery is to improve the function of the joint. Full recovery after joint replacement usually takes about three to six months, depending on the type of surgery, overall health of the patient, and the success of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation programs after joint replacement may include the following: Exercises to improve mobility (movement) and physical fitness Gait (walking) retraining Pain management Nutritional counseling to improve weight control Use of assistive devices Patient and family education The arthritis rehabilitation team Arthritis rehabilitation programs can be conducted on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Many skilled professionals are part of the arthritis rehabilitation team, including any or all of the following: Orthopedist/orthopedic surgeon Rheumatologist Physiatrist Primary care doctor (for example, family medicine or internal medicine) Rehabilitation nurse Dietitian Physical therapist Occupational therapist Social worker Psychologist/psychiatrist Recreational therapist Vocational therapist

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Federal law enforcement authorities have announced the seizure of 132 domain names in several countries to stop them from selling counterfeit merchandise online. The Huffington Post reports :
The Cyber Monday crackdown comes on what's expected to be the biggest online shopping day of the year. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations coordinated the effort with Europol and police in Belgium, Denmark, France, Romania and the United Kingdom.
Authorities say it's the third consecutive Cyber Monday that websites selling knockoff sports jerseys, DVDs and other goods have been targeted.
They say sites were seized after copyright holders confirmed that products purchased there by investigators were illegal.
Site visitors now see a banner explaining the seizure and copyright infringement.
Homeland Security field offices in Buffalo, N.Y., New Jersey, California, Maryland, Colorado and Texas investigated.

Windows Forensic Environment - a forensically sound bootable CD/USB to acquire electronic media or conduct forensic analysis.
Windows Forensic Environment ("WinFE")
WinFE was developed and researched in 2008 by Troy Larson, Sr Forensic Examiner and Research at Microsoft 1. WinFE is based off the Windows Pre-installation Environment of media being Read Only by default. It works similar to Linux forensic CDs that are configured not to mount media upon booting. However, unlike Linux boot CDs, with Win FE one can use Windows based software. Thus it is possible to include various forensic software and general portable utilities. WinFE can also be configured to boot from a USB device, should the evidence computer have the ability to boot to USB.
WinFE can be customized to the examiner's needs through batch files using the Windows Automated Install Kit (WAIK) or through 3rd party utilities such as WinBuilder 2.
Some examples of Windows based forensic utilities that can run in the Windows Forensic Environment include:
- X-Ways Forensics 3,
- AccessData FTK Imager 4,
- Guidance Software Encase 5,
- ProDiscover 6,
- RegRipper 7.
A write protection tool developed by Colin Ramsden was released in 2012 that provides a GUI for disk toggling 8. Colin Ramsden's write protect tool effectively replaces the command line to toggle disks on/offline or readonly/readwrite.
Technical Background and Forensic Soundness
Windows FE is based on the modification of just two entries in the Windows Registry. The first key is located at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet001\Services\MountMgr". The DWord "NoAutoMount" has to be set to "1". By doing this the Mount-Manager service will not automatically mount any storage device. The second key is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet001\Services\partmgr\Parameters" where "SanPolicy" has to be set to "3". While both keys will avoid the mounting of storage devices the user has to mount the storage drive manually by using the command-line tool DiskPart, while the evidence drive does not need to be mounted for imaging/forensic access.
The latest modification (New for Windows 8) to the registry is SAN policy 4. SAN policy 4 Makes internal disks offline. Note. All external disks and the boot disk are online.
Testing has shown that mounting a volume in READ ONLY mode will write a controlling code to the disk, whereas mounting a disk in READ ONLY mode will not make any changes. Depending on the type of filesystem there is a potential modification to the disk with a documented 4-byte change to non-user created data. This modification exists for non-Windows OS disks, where Windows (FE) will write a Windows drive signature to the disk, although it is not shown to be consistent. Various issues with Linux Boot CDs can be compared 9 ).
