My kids swear that we are the last people on earth to not have a data plan with our phone service. They might be right too. Having just a regular cell phone—texting option only—is such a rarity that when I recently tried to replace my old phone, the Pink Dinosaur, as my daughter called it, I couldn't. AT&T offered only one model of phone without data plans. I call it extortion, a phone company's empire forcing me to comply with their money-making scheme. My kids call it keeping up with the times.

My daughter, a senior in high school, is quietly hopeful that we will finally enter into the new millennium and get a data plan when our current phone contract runs out. Last night at the dinner table, my husband and son looked at plans available with and without smart phones. My husband asked me, "Do you want a smart phone plan or just a regular phone and plan? We can get that pretty cheap." I think he's hopeful I'll continue on in my inexpensive ignorance and stick with my dumb phone.
"What can you do with a smart phone?" I asked. I'd been listening to the discussion debating if I really needed to make the costly switch. "Can I get Pandora?" My needs are simple.
"Mom," my daughter said patiently, "You can check your email, check in with Facebook, and yes, access Pandora."
"Does it take up a lot of data to do that?" I asked, having no idea, really, what I was asking. My son assured me the plans we were considering would probably be more than enough to cover usage such as Pandora. I began to think about always being able to check in with my email or Facebook or Twitter, not being dependent on available wifi connections. On second thought, I'm not sure that's overly appealing to me.
I'm struggling to find a reason to switch to a data plan yet feeling like I'll be missing out on something if I don't. After all, all the other parents have one.
When I was a kid, our phone needs amounted to pocket change. Really. My mom and dad always made sure I had spare coins when I went out with friends in case I needed to call home. I realize if you're under a certain age, you won't remember the Ancient Ones' reliance on public phones… phone booths… you know, the thing that Superman went into to change into his super tights and cape… oh never mind.
While I'm waxing nostalgic on "when I was a kid," I still remember when we got our color TV. It was a big deal. Other families already had one, but my dad never saw the need to switch from the black and white—it worked just fine. We had a hard time convincing him the wonder and splendor of Saturday morning cartoons in full Technicolor glory was worth the financial investment. But I'm sure once he caved and bought the state-of-the-art console TV, he enjoyed the MacNeil Leher News Hour in color as much as the next dad.
I also remember his reluctance to install air conditioning. Instead, we placed box fans in the windows so that they blew outside; the theory being they would suck in the cooler night air. It was a hypothesis my pre-adolescent body knew was false from every sweaty pore it possessed. Night after night, during sticky summer heat, I lay on top of sheets, barely breathing, hoping even a light puff of air would cool and relieve my searing flesh. It rarely happened. It was stifling. But my father's conservative fiscal habits and ethics about not always having to keep up with the Joneses meant we made due with fans.
My reluctance to buy into the newest, "bigger and better" gadget is an inheritance bequeathed to me during my own exasperated youth. Do I really need a data plan? Did I really need that DVD player a couple years ago? I'm still mourning all my obsolete VHS tapes and wondering what kind of craft project I can make from them.
But perhaps the bigger point I should really be pondering is, when did I become so much like my dad and feel proud about that? On second thought, yes, I do want a smart phone. But here's to my dad, maybe looking down at me from his after-life location with a bit of satisfaction: At least I made my kids wait a year or two after it was a trend before caving.

Height of embarrassment
A young man goes into a pharmacy and asks the
pharmacist: "Hello, could
you give me condom. My girlfriend has invited me for dinner and I think she is expecting something from me!"
The pharmacist gives him the condom; and as the young man is going out, he returns and tells him: "Give me another condom because my girlfriend's sister is very cute too. She always crosses her legs in a provocative manner when she sees me and I think she expects something from me too.." The pharmacist gives him a second condom; and as the boy is leaving he turns back and says : "After all, give me one more condom because my girlfriend's mom is still pretty cute and when she sees me she always makes allusions... and since she invited me for dinner, I think she is expecting something from me!!
During dinner, the young man is sitting with his girlfriend on his left, the sister on his right and the mom facing him. When the dad gets there, the boy lowers his head and starts praying: "Dear Lord, bless this dinner... thank you for all you give us...!!!"
A minute later the boy is still praying: "Thank you Lord for your kindness..." Ten minutes go on and the boy is still praying, keeping his head down.
The others look at each other surprised and his girlfriend even more than the others. She gets close to the boy and tells him in his ear: "I didn't know you were so religious!!!"
The boy replies:" I didn't know your dad is a pharmacist!!!"

John and David were both patients in a Mental Hospital.
One day, John suddenly dived into the deep end of the swimming pool
David jumped in and saved him, and the medical director came to know of his
heroic act.
He immediately order David to be discharged from the Mental Hospital as he
is OK.
Doctor: We have good news and bad news for you, David. The good news is that
we are going to discharge you because you have regained your senses, since
you are able to jump in and save another patient you are now a normal
person. The bad news is that, the patient Mr. John, whom you have saved,
hung himself in the
toilet and died.
David: Doctor, he didn't hang himself. I hung him there to dry !
Objection !!!
Researchers for the Ministry of Transport found over 200 dead crows near greater Manchester recently,and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu.
The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.
By analysing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorries, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
Ministry of Transport then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist very quickly concluded the cause:
--- when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry."

Sherlock stopped him by tossing him a bottle of Evian.

Important letter to all employees
Dear Employees,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much **** (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of **** it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough ****, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the **** you can handle.
The Management

Take good care of your tyres thats Derby and Derbyshire Road Safety Partnerships message to young people after research revealed that more than a third of 18-25 year old drivers have never checked their tread depth.
The survey by Tyre Safe and insurers Ingenie also revealed the following about 18-25 year old drivers:
a quarter have never checked their tyre pressures
nearly 50 per cent have never been shown how to check the condition of their tyres
more than 50 per cent dont know its the driver's responsibility to ensure a car's tyres are safe and legal
85 per cent are unaware that the maximum fine for driving on an illegal tyre is £2,500
more than a third are unaware that drivers can receive three penalty points for driving on an illegal tyre
Mike Ashworth, chairman of the road safety partnerships managing group, said: Motorists should check their tyre pressures at least once a month. Its a simple maintenance job that makes the roads safer.
You should also check the tread depth of your tyres regularly by taking the 20p test. All you need to do is push a 20p coin as far as it will go into the main grooves of your tyre. If the outer rim of the coin is still visible, you should get your tyre checked as it may be below the legal limit.
Mike added: As a young driver, poorly maintained tyres can cause problems for you even if you dont crash. Two illegal tyres could earn you six penalty points and thats enough for you to lose your licence if youve been driving for less than two years.
To warn young drivers about the dangers of poor tyre maintenance, Tyre Safe has produced a short online film presented by actor Tyger Drew-Honey from the BBC sitcom Outnumbered.
During the movie, two young drivers are quizzed on their tyre knowledge and shown the consequences of poor tyre care when they witness a dramatic emergency stop in controlled conditions. To view the film, visit: http://tyresafe.org/tyre-safety/young-drivers (opens in a new window)

In Podcast 12 in my travel podcast series, I talk about visiting the Oberammergau Passion Play in Bavaria, Germany and also visiting the pilgrimage town of Altötting that's known for the shrine of the Black Madonna where many miracles are believed to have taken place. You'll hear about our walk around Altötting with many stories and anecdotes about the religious sites there and our afternoon cycling to the swimming lake or badesee. I'll tell you about the painted houses of Oberammergau and wood carvings, with useful information for attending the Passion Play and my impressions of the play performance with background music from the Passion Play.

- We started our short visit to Bavaria in the town of Altötting, where we had a tour of the town with a local guide who really brought the place to life with his many stories and anecdotes.
- Altötting is best known as a pilgrimage town for the Shrine of the Black Madonna situated in the Chapel of Mercy on the main town square. The dark interior of the shrine and small dark statue of the Madonna and child are richly embellished with silver ornaments and the caskets containing the hearts of the Kings of Bavaria, as well as solid silver statues in front of the altar which have a story behind them.
- On our tour around Altötting we visited the church of Phillip and Jacob with the famous Tod von Eding clock with a statue of the grim reaper and the church of the patron saint of the town, St Conrad, and the water fountain outside his church where the water is thought to be holy as it flows over a relic of the saint's finger bone.
- We heard about the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1980 and how he came to plant the linden tree outside the church.
- We also hired bikes at the local bike shop in Altötting and cycled along the path beside the River Inn as far as the badesee or swimming lake near Passau.
- The passion play at Oberammergau dates back to 1632 when plague was sweeping through Germany and the villagers made a vow that if they were spared, they would perform a passion play every 10 years.
- The play is a community effort and to participate, all the actors and musicians must be either born in the village or have lived for 20 years in the village.
- We found that everything was very well organised in the village for visitors and you buy a package of play ticket, meals and accommodation, with free shuttle buses to take you around the area.
- We found that the town of Oberammergau itself is an attractive place to visit, and even in the years when the play is not being held is well worth a visit, with painted houses and is also known for it's wood carving.
- The play is performed in a large theatre which seats 4500 people and is open at one end with a view of the hills behind and although the audience are under cover, the cast and stage are open to the elements.
- I was impressed by the crowd scenes with around 200 cast members on stage at a time, including young children and animals, making a striking scene.
- The play starts with Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey and continues with scenes from his life which were broken up by orchestral and choral music and with 'living tableaux' scenes from the old testament.
- The first half of the play lasts for 2.5 hours starting at 2.30pm in the afternoon with a break of 3 hours for dinner before the start of the second half.
- The second half was more dramatic than the first with the trial of Jesus and his walk with the cross, culminating with the crucifixion scene. The darkness falling also added to the atmosphere and again the crowd scenes especially during the trial of Jesus really made you a sense of what it would have been like to be there.
- The play ends with the scene of Mary Magdalene in the garden discovering the cloth that Jesus' body was wrapped in and Jesus comes forward and shows himself with the candles and torches really adding to the atmosphere.
- If you want to see the passion play, this year's season will end in October 2010 and the next performance will be in 2020, as the play is only held every 10 years, so your best opportunity would be to check with specialist tour operators, whether they have any spaces left on organised tours.

Brighton sprinter Anderson headlines a slew of Boston schools' track stars set to tackle state meets
When the MIAA seeds for the divisional track meets were released this morning, Brighton High track coach Sara Voss Geiman was surprised to see senior Laquasia Anderson seeded No. 1 in the girls' 200-meter dash at this weekend's Eastern Mass Division 1 track meet at Durfee High School in Fall River.
"I was hoping she would be in the top three or five at least," Voss Geiman said during a telephone interview on Wednesday afternoon. "Her being the top seed, I didn't know it would happen. It was really exciting."
The feat was all the more remarkable considering Anderson had ankle surgery last year after seriously injuring herself during a basketball game.
"It was a huge change from her junior year now that she's completely healed and healthy," Voss Geiman said.
Anderson, who has a qualifying time of 26.4 seconds in the 200, will also run on Brighton's 24th-seeded 4x100-meter relay team along with senior Tanasha Ward, junior Albertine Samson and junior Esther Nkwah. Samson is also the No. 32-seed in the 100-meter dash with a qualifying time of 13.54 seconds.
Samson and Nkwah attend Boston Community Leadership Academy, which is moving from Brighton to the old Hyde Park High complex next year.
"This is also an exciting year because it's the last year I'll be with Albertine and Esther," Voss Geiman said.

Javier Bardem thinks he is dying. "I used to be a hypochondriac, but I was a young man then," Bardem admits to writer Chris Jones of Esquire magazine. "Now I really am sick." No matter that the strapping Spaniard seems have everything a man could possibly want: a gorgeous (pregnant!) wife, a fulfilling career, accolades from his peers, and status as an international sex symbol.
Speaking of gorgeous wives, although Bardem refused to speak to the magazine about his personal life, especially his relationship with Penelope Cruz, the writer did get a glimpse of the actress in the couple's rented Hawaiian home and apparently, just the fleeting glance was enough to convince the writer that Cruz is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
"She had just woken up, and she was fresh out of the shower, her wet hair still slicked back. She wasn't wearing makeup, but her skin was flawless. Her eyes were bright, and her teeth were perfect, and she was wearing a top that revealed her brown shoulders" gushes Jones. "I defy any man to meet her and not wonder whether his Clarke's nucleus has just exploded."
At least we know Bardem has something to live for!

OMAHA, Neb. Ricky Romero threw a nine-hitter, and Felipe Garcia went 4-for-4 to lead Cal State Fullerton to a 6-3 victory over Miami in the College World Series on Monday night.
Romero (13-4) struck out seven, walked two, and only got into trouble once.
The Titans have gotten complete games in their first two games at the CWS. Jason Windsor pitched a three-hitter in a 2-0 win over South Carolina on Saturday.
''Both of them are as good as anyone out here,'' Miami coach Jim Morris said. ''The secret is getting into their bullpen. Not many people get into their bullpen when those guys are throwing.''
In the earlier game Monday, South Carolina eliminated LSU with a 15-4 victory and will face Miami on Tuesday. The loser of that game will be knocked out of the CWS. The winner will play Fullerton on Wednesday.
Cal State Fullerton (44-21) has won seven straight and 29 of 34 games. The Hurricanes (50-12) saw their 13-game winning streak end.
Miami's J.D. Cockroft (9-5) struggled for the second year in a row in the CWS. He lasted only 3 2-3 innings his shortest outing in 12 starts and gave up nine hits and five runs. He was hurt by four Miami errors.
In a 13-2 loss to Texas last year, he allowed 10 hits and 10 runs and his teammates committed five errors in 3 1-3 innings.
The Hurricanes scored twice against Romero in the seventh to make it 5-3.
''I wasn't getting tired in the seventh,'' Romero said. ''My mechanics were off and I got back to staying on top of the ball and throwing strikes.''
Both Romero and Garcia, as well as teammates Ryan Schreppel and Shawn Scobee, are scheduled to join the Peninsula Oilers of the Alaska Baseball League for the summer following the College World Series.
In the early game, Kevin Melillo had four hits and was ejected and reinstated after a collision at home plate, leading South Carolina over LSU.
The Gamecocks trailed 3-1 before they scored six runs, four unearned, with two outs in the sixth.
South Carolina had the bases loaded with two outs when Nick Gardiner singled to right off Lane Mestepey (7-4). Landon Powell scored easily, but Melillo collided with LSU catcher Matt Liuzza after the ball bounced under Liuzza's glove.
Umpire Bob Homolka called Melillo safe, but immediately ejected him for not trying to avoid the collision.
South Carolina coach Ray Tanner came out of the dugout to protest, and after the umpiring crew consulted with supervisor Dave Yeast, Homolka's decision was reversed and Melillo was reinstated.
''He really didn't plow through him,'' Tanner said. ''He kind of held up a little bit. Nobody went to the ground. You'd hate to see a player ejected in a game like this.''
Jim Paronto, secretary-editor to the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee, said in a statement that Homolka initially believed the collision was caused by a flagrant act by Melillo but it was later determined that it was not.
''I was coming down the line and I could see Landon telling me to get down,'' Melillo said. ''I was kind of looking to see where Liuzza was going to go, where the ball was going to take him, so I could try to take an angle and slide around him.
''The ball led him up the line and we collided a little bit. It was nothing intentional. He understood that.''
The intent of the rule is to encourage base runners and defensive players to avoid violent collisions whenever possible.
''I'd be surprised if it wasn't reviewed,'' Yeast said.
It was the second CWS game in which the collision rule came into play. Georgia shortstop Justin Holmes was ejected for running into catcher Nick Hundley in the Bulldogs' 8-7 win. Holmes was out on the play.
The Gamecocks went on to score four more runs in the inning, three on throwing errors by the Tigers. South Carolina added six more runs in the eighth inning to seal the victory.
LSU (46-19) was knocked out of the CWS in two games for the second year in a row by South Carolina.
LSU, which had won two of three regular-season meetings between the teams, was dealt its worst loss since being beaten 15-4 by Mississippi State in 2002. It was the Tigers' worst loss in the CWS since Cal State Fullerton beat them 20-6 in 1994.
''We didn't defend the field well for a few innings,'' LSU coach Smoke Laval said. ''We usually avoid the big inning, but this time we didn't and it seemed to snowball on us. We just needed a few more timely hits.''
The teams combined for a CWS-record 34 singles. South Carolina's Steven Tolleson had the game's only extra-base hit, a double in the ninth.
Steve Pearce had four singles for the Gamecocks, and LSU's Will Harris had three.
Gamecocks starter Aaron Rawl (13-4) got the win after scattering 11 hits over 6 2-3 innings.

Introducing Guerrilla Red Team
We are lucky to have met a lot of really cool people during the past few years. Special operations, law enforcement, blue teams, hackers, emergency response teams, and many more.
These guys have a lot of cool stories, some of them we were part of as well. And they want to tell those stories.
So, in a few days we'll be launching a new part of the blog that we began calling Guerrilla Red Team. The name, like most names, just came out during a discussion and well, it stuck.
This part of the blog will have stories from other red teamers, security teams, military units and law enforcement where either our Red Team was involved or the main story includes a Red Team or Red Teaming.
Now, we also want to hear from you. If you have a Red Teaming story, please send it. Please sanitize it, any OPSEC violation will trash the story. If you want to send along a picture with it, wait until we reply to you and attach it to the email.
What can you send? Any personal story recounting your Red Teaming experiences, or experiences with a Red Team.
So, while we compile some of the stories from our friends, send yours.

Three Things Marissa Mayer Could Unveil to Save Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO)
The new Yahoo CEO is expected to announce her plans for the struggling company this week. Here are some steps she could take.
It could be a startup with some key technologies to bolster Yahoo's long-term strategy. It might be a stalwart with dozens of patents and talented employees that will transform Yahoo into an industry behemoth. Or it could be an acquisition that will further enhance the company's mission to become a leader in visual and audio entertainment.
If Yahoo takes the latter direction, expect the company to announce that it is acquiring a major content provider of music or movies/TV, such as Spotify or Hulu. Yahoo has already signed a deal with Spotify that will bring its music streaming technology to Yahoo.com. By acquiring the firm, Yahoo would gain access to the world's largest library of streaming music.

text: I have used carborundum dust to inoculate tobacco leaves with a positive strand plant virus which is around 7 kb in size. I merely diluted the RNA in DEPC treated buffer with a bit of carborundum dust and then gently rubbed 10 ul of this solution onto young leaves which were around 5 cm X 3 cm in size. The dust disrupts the surface cells allowing inoculation. The trick is to become good enough to disrupt only the surface cells instead of rubbing hard enough to kill the leaf. It takes several tries to get it right. This is a very easy method to inoculate only particular leaves and watch systemic spread of infection. I hope that it's useful for your purposes. Good Luck.

2010DHR is based on 11,500 "problematic" sites, forums, Twitter posts and social networks and the report has found that "hate-filled" language is increasing in social networks, as well as offensive and "disturbing" video footage.
More disturbing, was the increase in "how-to" posts for suicide terrorists, including bomb making and laser technology. Terrorists are using social networks to brainwash young children into "hate-filled Islamic fundamentalist zombies," some as young as six years old.

Huddelstum History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Yorkshire. The place name is in turn derived from the Old English personal name Hudel and are said to be originally of Saxon descent.
Early Origins of the Huddelstum family
Cumberland, where they originally held Millom Castle at Millom, now in Cumbria. Godard be Boyvill was granted a manor on the site and held the Manor of Millom c. 1134. His granddaughter married into the Hudleston family and ownership was passed in c. 1240. John Hudleston was given a licence to crenellate in 1335. Over the centuries the castle has fallen into ruin and is now used as a farmhouse. The parish of Sawston in Cambridgeshire was home to a branch of this illustrious family in early times. "The ancient manor-house here of the Huddleston family was visited by Queen Mary, who spent some time in it." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Huddelstum Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Huddelstum have been found, including Huddleston, Hoddleston, Hodleston, Hiddleston, Hiddlestone and many more.

Migration of the Huddelstum family to the New World and Oceana
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Huddelstum, or a variant listed above: John Huddleston, who settled in Maine in 1622; Valentine Huddlestone, who settled in Maryland in 1663; Thomas Huddleston, who came to Maryland in 1775.
The Huddelstum Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Soli Deo honor et gloria
Motto Translation: Honour and glory be to God alone.

Most people understand the difference between a private safe at home and a rented safe controlled by a bank. Your private safe is endangered by family members and burglars. Your bank safe is protected against burglars but is endangered by banking and government rules as well as fraud by bank employees.
People have a rough understanding of the pros and cons of the physical safe security solutions. However, users have no chance to assess the quality of online IT services.
They hope their data are adequately secured and backed up. Hopefully, the apps they are using and the companies running it will be operational forever. Passwords and accessed are handled according highest security standards. Users hope that large organisations like Facebook, Yahoo or Apple take better care of their data than small companies. This is certainly not true. The large organisations may have very good mechanisms to protect their data. However, criminals prefer large targets because the return on investment is much larger. Large companies are subject to all kinds of government regulations e.g. banks may not allowed to hand out the money you have in your saving accounts (just figures in a data base).
Many people think that their smart phone is data safe and store huge amounts of sensitive data – very often data which are owned by other people (e.g. email), employers or companies. Today you may be forced to give immigration officers your passwords to social networks and private accounts.
My solution to this problem is rather simple. I use a private Sharepoint Server Private Portal for me, my family clan, my professional project partners but also my guitar club. The Private Portal is hosted by a small hosting provider in Switzerland. The cost is about 120$/year for > 100 users. Microsoft is also offering Sharepoint Online for $5/user. The Microsoft Sharepoint software is used by a lot of large companies. Therefore it will be maintained at least for the next 20 years. Microsoft has a good track record on providing long-term support for their business software. The staff of the Swiss hoster is very experienced and provides services also to Swiss banks. Swiss government tries to establish a trusted IT infrastructure in Switzerland and knows how important security and privacy is for this business – I do not trust the legislation and government agencies of Trump, Merkel or Putin.
I personally control the high level access to my private portal and can create subportals for groups and invite other users. Users can manage the access to their data. Sharepoint provides multi language support – a very important figure for my WW family. It also provides private communication much like Facebook. You must not use eMail services to communicate. I don't store a lot of data on my smart phone. Sensitive data is stored at the portal and can be accessed anytime with a browser or special Sharepoint apps. I personally prefer a browser which works on any device.
Certainly the private portal server can be attacked by hackers much like any other Sharepoint server. However, the ROI will be very small and not very interesting to NSA and other government agencies. The private portal has also the advantage that I can get a copy of all my data to my PC whenever I want and can move to another service provider. I am using standard systems like Facebook, XING , Google etc for first contacts, chats and "throw away" data. The nice things about my Private Portal – no advertizing and no nasty messaging during work. It's certainly worth 10$ per month.
Attention: Big Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google etc want to drive the small hosters out of business and move users to their closed platforms. An Open Source Collaboration Portal offering for private and small business is needed.

Can you both give us a little background on how you ended up in the TV business, and how you ended up becoming writing partners?
Michele Fazekas: This is Michele speaking. How we ended up in the TV business, I grew up outside of Buffalo, New York, and was really into writing. Thought I wanted to be a journalist, but then realized as I did internships that everyone in TV news kind of hated his job. I took a screenwriting course and I was in grad school. Kind of was 22 and naïve, and said, "Oh, I'll just move to L.A. and get a job." Which I think, you have to be 22 and that naïve to just up and move. I worked as an assistant at MTV and for a production company that did movies of the week, and my big time break was getting a job as an assistant to the writers, and to Frank Spotnitz at the X-Files which was where I met Tara.
Tara Butters: And I actually was working out of college for a graphics design company that did stuff for television shows like t-shirts and products. Met the group at The X-Files, and was working with them through this company. Then they asked me to come work for them directly, and handle their licensing and merchandising. So that's how I ended up there with Michele, and I worked there for a year, then I was leaving to work for David Goyer, but Michele and I stayed friends.
Michele: We started writing together as an exercise. I'd had an idea for an X-Files script that Frank Spotnitz, the executive producer, said, "This is a great idea, but we're already kind of doing a similar idea, so why don't you come up with another one?" And it was about the Antichrist, and I did a whole bunch of research on it, and Tara said it would make a really good Buffy the Vampire Slayer script, and so we just kind of wrote it just to see if we could do it. And got really good response, the guys in the X-Files and David Goyer were all really helpful. They sent our script out, it really does help to have kind of big guns behind you when you do a script, and people are sending it out. So people read it, that was very, we got really lucky. We got some meetings with agents, and everybody wanted to see another script, so we wrote a spec for The Practice and we got signed. We got a writing job three weeks after we got signed, when it happened, it happened very quickly.
We talked about X-Files and Buffy, there's both of those shows in Reaper a little bit. Where did the idea for Reaper come from, and what was it inspired by?
Tara: Well, we were working on our Buffy script and everything, and for some reason it just stuck in my head. The idea, it might be kind of funny to do a show about a kid who finds out his parents sold his soul to the devil.
Michele: It was like eight or nine years ago that we initially had this idea.
Tara: And it was really because the idea, can you be a good person and technically work for evil? That's kind of the starting point that we started with, and we were very lucky because once we got staffed on a TV show, which was Get Real for Fox which only went a year. We continued the work, so we had this idea, we just kind of kept it on the back burner for the last eight or nine years.
Michele: We never really had time to do much, we would come back to it and talk about it, but we were always working. I saw the movie Shaun of the Dead, and I started to think about what I loved about that movie. One of the many things I loved about that movie was the kind of protagonists of the movie, are these kind of guys who are Everyman, who are kind of too hung over initially to realize that the world had been taken over by zombies. I started to think about kids that I know, and you probably know, who have gone to college or not and who are in their early 20, still living at home and they live in a nice suburb, and they have a car and they have money, and their parents kind of take care of them. They have all the comforts of home, and if they're not really motivated to do anything, they don't. So, when we started to marry that idea together with the idea of the kid's parents sold his soul to the devil, that started to feel like a show to me. After we signed with Touchstone and they let us develop it, was one of the first ideas that we pitched to them, and they were like, "Yeah, that sounds pretty good." So we then had the opportunity to really develop it and work on it.
Kevin Smith directed the pilot, obviously kind of a big deal. How did that happen, and why'd you think of him in the first place?
Michele: Once the CW bought the script and decided that they were going to produce the pilot, you start making a list of directors. You make your wish list of, "Who do you want to direct here, who would be the most amazing person directing your pilot?" We'd have ridiculous names on the list, like, "Is Steven Spielberg available?" You make your wish list and then the more reasonable list. Kevin was on our wish list, somebody who we'd never thought we'd get, but we'll send him the script, he'll pass on it, and we'll get somebody more realistic, and we never thought we'd hear anything about it. The next thing we hear is, "Kevin read the script, can you go over to his house?" And we're like, "Yeah, we can do that." We went to his house, and we thought we had to kind of sell ourselves to him. But he was like, "This is really funny, I want to do it." It was simply that easy. He wanted to do it, he was interested in directing something that he hadn't written. He just signed on, he just responded to the material, we were so lucky that happened.
I'm a big Kevin Smith fan, but he's not really known for his visuals or action scenes and all that, which is what Reaper has. Did that worry you at all, and how happy were you with the final product?
Michele: We were thrilled with it. It didn't worry us at all, because much of the script is very much in his wheel house, it's guys sitting around talking about stupid stuff. Even Kevin was, Kevin brought his DP on, who is great. Even they were joking like, "We have never moved a camera this much in any movie that we've ever done." They really just stepped up and did incredible work, and I wasn't worried at all. I think we're really thrilled with the final product.
Can you talk a little bit about casting? It's full of relatively new faces. Had you targeted any of them before, or was it they came and auditioned, and you liked what you saw?
Tara: Bret Harrison did an episode of Law and Order: SVU for us, and in that show he actually played the victim, and he was absolutely wonderful.
Michele: His dramatic range, it was so sympathetic and heartbreaking,
Tara: But it was also around the time where he was on Grounded for Life. And then he also did The Loop for Fox last year, and he has great comedic timing. Michele and I were talking, and I brought him up to Michele. Then literally that exact same day, we were sitting with our casting director, and asked him who he felt was the new breakout star in this age range. He mentioned Bret, and so just kind of felt like it was right. We asked if we could meet with him, and he did, and we offered him the role without him reading. Then Tyler Labine had a deal with Touchstone or ABC Television, and we saw his tape, asked if we could meet with him and it was the same deal.
Michele: The character that Tyler plays is Sock, and Sock is actually based on a friend of Tara and mine. He's the kind of guy who, I don't know if you know people like this, but they can kind of say anything. It can be the most obscene, crude things, but because they're saying it everyone thinks it's funny. We met Tyler and we were like, "Oh, he's just like our friend, he's like the doppelganger of our friend." So we were lucky to get him too. I think it really helped that Kevin Smith is directing the pilot, so it really made people more interested in doing it than maybe they would have been. And with Ray Wise, we looked at dozens of actors, very good actors for the role of The Devil. Nobody was really popping for us, it was hard, we couldn't find anybody. Then Tom Spezialy, who is another executive producer on the project who came on board with us, who was actually our first boss on Get Real, came in one day and is friends with a manager who suggested, "What about Ray Wise?" And so Tom came in and said, "What about Ray Wise?" It's one of those things where you couldn't believe you didn't think of him, and it was like, of course. Ray came in and just read, and just nailed it. He brought this kind of game show host, politician take to the role, where he's really charming and likable. Yet everything he says is completely disingenuous, and so as soon he left the room, we're like, "Wow, there he is."
I read somewhere that Nikki Reed from Thirteen was originally cast as Andi before Missy Peregrym took over the role. Is that true, and what happened with that?
Michele: That is true, and when you just, when you're doing pilots and Missy wasn't even available when we were casting the pilot, because she was on Heroes. So just new people become available after pilot season is over, and we were looking for somebody who had kind of a vulnerability. It was a very hard role to cast, because the character of Andi is, she can hang with the guys but she's not one of the guys. And Missy just, and it's funny when you see her on Heroes, you're like, "Oh, she's a badass." But when you meet her in person, she's like sweet and bubbly, and just adorable. Just a really sweet person, and she's just kind of brought that kind of vulnerability that we wanted for the character. So we were really happy that she became available, and we stole her away from Heroes.
I got to see Reaper at the screening at San Diego Comic-Con, and there was such a packed crowd, and everyone loved it. The response pretty much universally has been great. How exciting is that going into the premiere, and does that kind of ease the tension of having your series premiere coming up?
Tara: It actually makes me feel more nervous, because we want to live up to everybody's expectations, and we love the show. It's something that we've done for such a long time, you know, we've been happy each step of the process, in the sense to finally be able to write it, and to be able to make the pilot. Now to be able to put it on the air, we just want to see it succeed, and let people enjoy a good show.
Michele: It isn't that bad, because one way, it's amazing that we're getting such great reviews and great press. But it just adds that kind of extra level of pressure, like OK, now we got to live up to it. But you know there's always pressure.
Tara: Believe me, it'd be far worse if no one wanted to watch the show.
Michele: Yeah, exactly. If they were like, "This sucks," that wouldn't be as good.
Seeing the pilot, it could be a lot of things going forward. From episode two on, is it going to be a monster of the week? Or will there be some mythology that goes on from episode to episode?
Michele: We would like to do a little of both. Our kind of paradigm that we really respond to is The X-Files paradigm. The X-Files did a really great job of having self-contained episodes, where it was the monster of the week. But then threaded through each episode is a little, or every couple of episodes you'd get a little hint to the mythology. So, we're going to see the mythology out, and get people to know the show, and know the characters. And then every couple episodes, you'll get a little hint to...things are not as they appear. There are secrets that are not being revealed, and everything is not what it seems, so that's what we hope to accomplish. I think the X-Files paradigm was perfect.

The YWCA of the Central Carolinas and Extreme Ice in Union County are still holding strong to their partnership aimed at helping at-risk youth succeed in their academics.
For the last six years, four or five times a year, Extreme Ice offers a group of students free ice-skating lessons as a reward for high academic standings.
Students who make the A and B honor roll, excel on their accelerated reader tests or excel in their math class are rewarded by a field trip to Extreme Ice where they are taught the basics of ice-skating. The trips take place about every four weeks.
"They get to see outside of their sphere of influence and another side of what happens when you are excelling and are doing your academics. Now they are having an opportunity to earn to go to the field trips to Extreme Ice," Suzy Rogers, the YWCA Willow Oaks Youth Learning Center coordinator, said.
All students involved in the program come from Willow Oaks, one of the first YWCA housing centers located in Union County.
About 15 to 20 students are chosen for each round and according to those working with the students, many kids attend more than once and have improved their ice-skating since the beginning of the program. Learn-to-skate classes are usually around $125 per class, but these students are receiving all lessons free of charge.
Those involved in the program feel that participation in ice skating gives students motivation not only to do better in school but also to work hard to achieve their goals.
"I thought it was a good idea because I saw how skating helped with determination and it improved my grades. I wanted to bring that to people and help them with school and give them a fun activity," Lizzie Chaconas, a teacher at Extreme Ice who works with the students, said.
In an attempt to take her work with the students in the program further, Chaconas and her friends are working to form an ice marathon, similar to Race for the Cure, which will help raise money to pay for skating lessons for children who would otherwise not be able to afford them. The group recently began planning for the event and is in the beginning stages of development.
"A lot of these kids couldn't afford learn-to-skate classes so this is to help them," Chaconas said. "We want to make more of an impact."
After 10 years of ice skating, Chaconas said working with the students reminded her of her love for ice skating and how happy it can make her. She has been with the program for a little more than a year, and teaches about four to five classes a year.
"Coming to skate you see how happy it makes them. They all really look forward to it. It's like a fun field trip. Grades are important but it's also really nice to see how happy it makes them," she said. "If they didn't skate they could do something else, but I think it's just a really fun outing."
Extreme Ice is located at 4705 Indian Trail Fairview Road in Indian Trail and can be contacted at 704-882-1830.

Ask a Doctor and Get an Answer to Your Medical Question ASAP
This is Dr. David
wow sounds like you have an epidemic of a viral gastroenteritis infection at your restaurant.
you need to call your local health department in
and you need to bleach down your whole restaurant and clean everything from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the service tables everything.
you might even have to shut down for a few days until everything is cleaned and everyone is better.
no one returns to work with symptoms of diarrhea or vomitting.
everyone has to wash hands before and after everything, food preperation, using the bathroom, touching money (which is very dirty).
this can be a big task,
but you have to take charge of it , or no one will feel safe eating at your restaurant
does this make sense?
the health department can also help advise you with regards to how to clean and when staff can return back to work
all old food has to be thrown out as well.
do you have any other questions?

I want to make sure we're heading for the same goal. I've prepared a debian package for APEX. It builds a deb file called apex-nslu2. The loader is written to /boot/apex.flash, a binary image of the loader with a prepended SERCOMM header. The length field in this header is in big endian mode. APEX will switch to little endian mode once it begins executing. The architecture is 'arm'. It copies the kernel image, starting from 0x80000 for 2MiB to SDRAM and then jumps to it. This same package can be built for armeb. It only difference will be that it will put the processor in big-endian mode when it starts executing. Have I missed anything? Do we want to copy more than 2M of kernel? We could copy 3.5MiB (4MiB - 256KiB - 128KiB - 128KiB) which is everything except for Redboot, the sysconf block, and APEX.
