Epic said that interested PC gamers can apply for a spot in the beta on the game's website.

New York Pvt Hospitals Say Goodbye To Junk Food
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has struck again and this time, his target is junk food served at Private hospitals in the New York City. Encouraged by the NYC Board of Health's pat on his back regarding the controversial soda ban, Bloomberg is now asking people who attend to their loved ones at these hospitals to not eat or drink the junk food served on the premises.
As a result, there will be no more potato chips, candy bars, super-sized sodas, fried chicken or burgers for you while you go visiting someone in a private hospital. It is Mayor Bloomberg's aim to remove these fatty and sugary foods from both public and private hospitals. While the public hospitals are already toeing the line, it is not private hospitals that have to fall in line with the government decision.
All this is being done under the "Healthy Hospital Food Initiative" and since 2011, about 16 private hospitals have joined the campaign by signing an agreement in this regard. The critics are already crying hoarse, saying that this goes on to prove that Bloomberg is trying to run a 'nanny' state.
However, with other cities, like Boston following suit, the hospital ban on junk food looks like it is here to stay. But since the law doesn't say anything if you get your own supply of 'Munchies' or "Mars bars", you are free to carry your junk food yourself.

Paycheck to paycheck, and what to do about it
Exclusive: Jerry Robinson on the consequences of not being prepared
Tens of millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, economist, columnist, radio host and international conference speaker Jerry Robinson is warning in his Follow the Money Weekly program this week.
"Scratch a little below the surface and you will find some staggering statistics," he says. "Here's a few examples:
"Nearly 40 percent of Americans have less than $500 in liquid savings.
"Approximately 132.1 million Americans (nearly 50 percent of the population) report that they do not have enough money in liquid savings to financially survive three months without their current paycheck.
"The average Baby Boomer will have an income of $190 per month during retirement."
He said, "Depressing, huh? Well, these are facts and America will soon be living with the consequences."
Robinson, as well as wife and co-host Jennifer Robinson, in their podcast discuss the explosive issue – and try to provide some hope.
They also address the crushing reality of America's student loan debt, a brief update on the crumbling petrodollar system and shocking new data just released by the Congressional Budget Office about the future of Social Security.
Then Tom Cloud joins the program to provide an update on gold and silver in this week's Precious Metals Market Updated, and in this week's investing idea, Jay Peroni shares information on a little known Mexican airport that could net you 10 percent or more over the next 12 months.
In the Retirement Minute, John Bearss talks about how most Americans' paycheck amounts went down beginning this year, and why.

Over sixty forthcoming events are currently listed in the IPKat's sidebar. Check them out: one (or more) might be just what you're looking for!
ActionAid UK has demonstrated that even the most serious of charities can have a sense of humour. The IPKat's friend Rebecca Dimaridis has pointed out that it has applied to patent a pre-salted potato chip as a means of demonstrating how absurd the patent rules are and how big business abuses them. Nice idea, but the Kat believes ActionAid will soon discover how wise those absurd rules are when its application is rightly refused for lack of novelty and want of an inventive step. Merpel says, has anyone seen the application? I'd love to take a look at the claims.
Around the blogs. 19 months after its launch as a niche blog for the interface of IP rights and monetary issues, IP Finance has now notched up its 600th email subscriber. Don't forget, the blog has organised a ground-breaking seminar on UNCITRAL's controversial proposals for dealing with security interests in IP rights: this seminar, which already has an enrolment of over 60 people, is free and carries 2.45 CPD points (details here). European trade mark blog Class 46 has now migrated to its new home on the MARQUES website, but a lot of readers are emailing Jeremy to ask where it is ... Baby blog Class 99, on design law in Europe and occasionally beyond, is now up to its 50th subscriber. A new blog for those poor souls suffering from patentexamitis is EQE Tools, established by J. Terpsma. For those who enjoy the suffering of others as well as their own, this blog offers dramatic openings to posts that go like this: "Question 8 of D1 2009 was one of few questions where I lost about half of the marks available ...".

Jon: the story might be old, but (i) it was new to me, (ii) it's probably new to many of our readers and (iii) the attitude which generates attacks like this on the patent system remains as prevalent as ever.

EDIT: ah, bet there's a poll coming, to make my lame gag into a stupid one.
Got a horrible feeling the filth will survive. Haven't studied the runs ins though, so won't vote just yet.

Just to make things a bit clearer for people.
Run in
Villa - 36 points -14 f/a - West Brom (A), Spurs (H), Norwich (A)
QPR - 34 points -18 f/a - Chelsea (A), Stoke (H), Man City (A)
Wigan - 34 points -26 f/a - Newcastle (H), Rovers (A), Wolves (H)
Bolton - 33 points -28 f/a - Sunderland (A), Spurs (H), West Brom (H), Stoke (A)
Rovers - 31 points -26 f/a - Spurs (A), Wigan (H), Chelsea (A)
I voted Villa, Wigan and Bolton as they have the easiest run ins.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Too many bones, not enough CASH!!
RIP Craig
Villa are going pretty rubbish, but if they manage a point from their last 3 games (which is probable) that means QPR need at least 4 points to pull ahead of them (or overturn the GD which seems unlikely given their respective opposition). Given QPR have City and Chelsea as their other 2 games I'd say they're unlikely to finish ahead of Villa.
QPR (and Rovers) best hope of survival is to hope that 2 of the other 4 stumble badly while winning their remaining "winnable" game. Wigan have been in pretty good form and you'd think Wolves on the last day is the most winnable game of the lot, while Bolton have the most realistic (and literal) chances to pick up points. In addition Rovers really need something against either Chelsea or Spurs which is pretty unlikely.
Who knows though. It'll might come down to which team is desperate enough to nab an upset victory at a top 6 team.

A quick glance through the run-ins (thanks Ausage) has me predicting the following final tallies
Villa 37
Wigan 39
Scum 35
Blackburn 32
Which means bye bye Blackburn, and then either QPR or filth depending on GD.
EDIT - The forecast is in and it is gold and silver and sunshine! Filth have a ten deficit to QPR on GD.
Last edited by GIMH; 26-04-2012 at 01:47 AM.
I finish up with
Villa 41
Wigan 39
Bolton 38
Blackburn 32
Villa going down would be genius. McLeish is just a terrible, terrible manager.
The fans have been really patient with him too (until last coupla weeks, anyway). With his Brum connexions I suppose one has to almost commend them, especially when compared to the hateful (& OTT) merde that's been directed at Kean by his own fans.
Anyway, looking at the run I can see them not getting another point. Badly need the R's to beat Stoke in that eventuality.

Blackburn will go and I want Villa to go too. Imagine the grief I can give my mate who supports them when my lot are only 1 division below the mighty Vile.
Really? Villa might be on a horror run of form but Brom and Norwich are hardly terrifying prospects.
Just on Kean I think a lot of the anger that should have been directed at Venkys probably went to Kean. He's trash, but you can't expect the man to turn down a PL managerial gig nor leave once his foots in the door. Get the feeling he hasnt been responsible for the more bewildering transfers either.

Ne-Yo plans Emancipation weekend parties in Jamaica
BY CECELIA CAMPBELL-LIVINGSTON Observer staff reporter email@example.com
AMERICAN singer Ne-Yo says he will be staging at least two parties in Jamaica over the Emancipation weekend, adding to the mix of social events planned for that holiday period.
The party series, being staged by his company Compound Entertainment, will be held under the theme 'Come Feel The Rhythm' on July 29 and 30 in Negril.
"I will be coming back to Jamaica... for a series of parties which will be officially introducing Compound Island," Ne-Yo, who is in the island for Caribbean Fashion Week, told the Observer in an exclusive interview yesterday.
According to Ne-Yo, serious partygoers will not want to miss the series.
Asked what patrons can expect at the series, he quipped: "What can they not expect?!"
"At Compound Entertain-ment we bring the total party experience. We put on THE party," he said.
The kick-off event on Friday, July 29 at Boardwalk Village is yet to be titled. However, the event on July 30 has been labelled 'Pajama Party'.
As the name states, partygoers are expected to attend in nightwear.
"There are two more parties in the pipeline, but those have not yet been finalised," he said.
A singer, songwriter, composer and producer, Ne-Yo has produced three number-one albums and sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. He has also done collabs with some of music's best.
So Sick, Sexy Love, Miss Independent, Single, Know Your Name and Crazy Love are just some of the singles he has delivered.

Joseph Perkins: Obama has failed to learn on the job
I have a guilty pleasure: I love it when liberal opinionistas turn on each other. Like the Washington Post's Greg Sargent, who writes the paper's Plum Line blog, and National Journal's Ron Fournier, the magazine's senior political columnist.
Mssrs. Sargent and Fournier fired shots across each other's bow over remarks President Barack Obama made last week at a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago. The reason he had little to show for his second term in the White House, Obama told supporters, is because of "a group of folks in the Republican Party who are … ideologically rigid."
According to Obama, those Republicans think "if folks at the top do well, then everybody else is somehow going to do well." They "deny the science of climate change." They "don't think making investments in early childhood education makes sense." They "have repeatedly blocked raising a minimum wage so if you work full-time in this country you're not living in poverty."
They "scoff at the notion that we might have a problem with women not getting paid for doing the same work that men are doing." They have "refused to budge on bipartisan legislation to fix our immigration system."
How dare anyone suggest that the partisan rancor in Washington, D.C., the legislative gridlock on Capitol Hill, is in any way the president's fault.
Well, Fournier dared.
"It's my belief," he wrote, "that Obama has overstated his obstacles to success on taxes, immigration, climate change, and other issues. The candidate of unbridled optimism in 2008 is now cynical, bowed, and nearly beaten – a leader whose excuse for failure amounts to, I can't lead because Republicans won't let me."
Meanwhile, Sargent disparages libs like Fournier as "Green Lanternite pundits, who continue to trace the problem to Obama's failure to move Congress, to argue that he is merely making excuses for failure."
The Post blogger's comic book reference comes from what he and other die-hard Obama defenders call the "Green Lantern Theory of President Power."
The theory, which he blogged about a year ago, "holds that presidents should be able to bend Congress to their will, and any failure to do so proves their weakness and perhaps even their irrelevance."
The Green Lantern argument "seems to hold broad sway over many in the press," Sargent decried.
Well the reason that even liberal journos like Fournier believe that a strong president should be able to coax Congress in his direction is because they have seen presidents before Obama do so.
Indeed, every second-term president since Dwight Eisenhower has had to contend with either or both the House or Senate being controlled by the opposition party. And the more politically adroit presidents have found a way to achieve legislative breakthroughs.
Eisenhower balanced the 1960 federal budget with Democrats enjoying large advantages in both the House and Senate. Ronald Reagan in 1986 got both tax reform and immigration reform legislation approved by a divided Congress.
Bill Clinton in 1996 signed welfare reform legislation and in 1997 signed balanced-budget legislation, despite the fact that Republicans controlled both houses of Congress.
George W. Bush secured bipartisan passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which prevented a total collapse of the nation's financial system, and which ultimately returned to the Treasury 97 percent of the tax dollars that went to prop up foundering banks and other financial institutions.
Obama would have us believe that he has it much harder with Congress than his presidential predecessors – even fellow Democrat Clinton, who actually was impeached.
But Fournier disagreed, pointedly so. "Obama's intellectual dishonesty," he wrote, breaking ranks with Sargent and other of the president's liberal apologists, "has prevented him from learning on the job, which is what's required of great presidents."
Indeed, were Obama not so blinded by his hubris, he would see the truth as it reveals itself.

The villains show up, of course, but luckily the X-Men alpha team (Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Angel, Colossus, X-23) does as well.
Next up, four from Wolverine: Weapon X #12, by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, as Wolverine and New Cap take on the Deathloks.
The Deathloks have been sent back in time to kill a bunch of future important people, Terminator-style, trying to eliminate the anonymous "General" commanding the resistance. New Cap is the prime suspect, so they go after him, catching him at a Russian restaurant in New York (he occasionally is overcome with the need to have some shchi. He dodges their guns, but is blown into a subway station.
Meanwhile, Wolverine has been contacted by Miranda, a waitress who keeps getting psychic flashes of future events (she's a badass commando in the future), and warns Logan about the Deathloks' mission.
Logan joins the fight in progress below. One the Deathloks grabs him:
Well that took an oddly philosophical turn.
This being one of her soldiers in the future. Flashforward. And then flashback:
And indeed they have, in the future. To be continued.

Doctors share tips for injury-free Fourth of July celebration
SUNDAY, June 30, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Fireworks add sparkle to Independence Day festivities but they need to be handled with care -- and by adults, a prominent group of U.S. surgeons says.
"Many people consider consumer fireworks to be harmless fun, when in fact they can be extremely dangerous, especially when used by or near children and adolescents," Boston orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tamara Rozental, spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, said in an academy news release.
"If caution is not used and safety guidelines are not adhered to, fireworks can cause serious injuries to the hands and fingers as well as the eyes," Rozental said.
Americans bought more than 212 million pounds of fireworks in 2011, compared with 184 million pounds in 2010, the American Pyrotechnics Association says. In 2012, there were more than 18,700 injuries caused by fireworks, including more than 7,300 emergency department visits, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSC also says that 36 percent of the estimated emergency department-treated, fireworks-related injuries in 2011 involved people younger than age 20. The parts of the body most often injured by fireworks were hands and fingers (46 percent of injuries); eyes (17 percent); head, face and ears (17 percent); and legs (11 percent). Burns accounted for more than half of the emergency department-treated, fireworks-related injuries. There were 1,100 emergency department-treated injuries associated with sparklers and 300 with bottle rockets.
The following fireworks safety tips come from the orthopedic surgeons:
- Check with your local police department to determine if fireworks can be discharged legally in your area. If so, determine which types are legal. Never buy or use illegal fireworks. Their quality cannot be assured.
- Only adults should light fireworks. Never hold lighted fireworks with your hand or place them near the body. Read the caution label on fireworks' packaging before lighting them and always wear safety eyewear when using fireworks. Never try to relight a firework.
- Always have water handy in case of a fire, such as a hose hooked to a faucet or a nearby bucket of water. Soak used fireworks in water before discarding.
- If you or anyone else suffers a fireworks-related injury, seek immediate medical attention.
- Never allow young children to play with or go near fireworks, including sparklers. They might seem harmless, but sparklers can reach temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees.
- Never handle fireworks if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Yoga Lesson: Mindfulness
Mindfulness (Smriti) is a practice of turning your awareness and focus to what is happening in the present moment. This is a very useful tool to incorporate during yoga poses, as well as to use throughout your day-to-day activities. A mindful yoga practice creates a sense of centeredness and inner focus, giving your yoga practice more depth and tranquility. Practicing mindfulness within a yoga pose can also give the pose more power, both physically and energetically.

I REALLY wanted this microwave as we have a convection Micro in our vacation home. Unfortunately it only lasted 5 days before it started getting error codes. The only way to remove the error code is to climb up and unplug, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in, climb down, reset the clock and go back to what you were trying to do with it. This worked a few times and then the keypad stopped working at all. All of this happened in a 24-hour period around Xmas so poor timing all the way around for us :(..Then the lights and fan would randomly turn themselves on, including the light inside the unit.I want to say that Samsung Customer Service has been awesome, as was BB. It is just unfortunate that this product seems to have a keyboard "glitch" that needs to be addressed.Due to the random operation of the unit, I was advised by Samsung CSR to leave it unplugged while we wait for service and there was a delay in that service because it was now the week between Xmas and New Year's; no one's fault, just bad timing. Our return window was shrinking so we ended up uninstalling it (not as easy as we thought; 2 person job as it weighs 80 lbs) and returning it and ordering a standard OTR Samsung Micro without the convection. I am sure that I will want the convection in the future, but I will wait for the "first release kinks" to get worked out and check back.I want to say that it is a beautiful microwave, but I agree with another reviewer that the dial is not very user friendly, but you will get used to it. LOVE how it looks so I made sure that I have similar looks in the replacement (of course).Good luck to future buyers! Hope this works out better for you than it did for us! :)

RE: Type VIIC/42
Posted by:

Date: May 25, 2000 07:37PM
The type 7C/42 was designed for faster surface speed and deeper diving depths to avoid depth charges. This was done by engine modifications and adding a second stage super charger to increase engine speed. This resulted in a lengthened boat by 31.5 metersfor this modification plus 1.5 meters forward to counter balance this weight. New top speed increase was 1.6 knots faster than before. The pressure hull diameter was increased by 300 MM and constructed of KRUPP 28MM "CM-351 ärmored steel,normal diving depth was now 656ft and crush depth was now 1,640ft. The saddle tanks were also widened by 350MM to increase bunker storeage for extened range. The friction clutch was replaced by a hydrolic clutch . A dehumidifier was also added for the crew comfort when sailing in the tropics etc.. None were laid down nor ever completed.

i like mine but i dont wear it often as its tight on the sleeves but its beautiful
slim fit haha
They have lots of simple blouses in at the moment and the styles are lovely - no more than £12. the one I have is beige, long sleeved and floaty and was £10 from last year. I love it...so versatile
Primark clothes are always stylish and on trend, they're also super cheap. You would be able to buy a top for only about £8 for example.
HOWEVER, the quality of the clothing is poor and it's not a store you would go to for long-lasting clothing.
Primark has lots of beautiful accessories and clothes!Seeing the cheap prices and amazing designed clothes I ran to pick up a basket and spent most of my money in one go. I didn't care if I would ever wear the clothes or not I just loved it all and at £4 for a jumper, £3 for a handbag and £5 for a pair of trousers.I love primark!

The Horse Forum
- Eventing
- - Three-Point Position for Eventing?
Three-Point Position for Eventing? So I'm new to eventing, but I've heard this term used outside of eventing from time to time, but I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me what a 3 point position is and when its used because I'm only used to a basic 2 point position for jumping courses. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find any examples of it and I'm really curious about it. Thanks for any input! |
My take on it is, the 3rd point is your butt. To me three point means sitting lightly in the saddle with your upper body inclined more forward than flat work and your butt just touching the saddle still keeping your horse's back free to jump. |
Three point is the seat lightly in the saddle. A "modified" three point is just the crotch making light contact. On XC, I almost never use three point. I am usually going at speed and I want no seat contact in the saddle. I may, on approaching a fence, dig a little seat in to help the leg, but only briefly. I want the horse's back to have as little interference as possible. Every time the horse has to push into a seat, it uses valuable energy on his part. On stadium, I may use three point a little more, but not during the whole course. Two point is still my norm. Dressage is the three point time! http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...iding+position |

It slipped by us, but the KDE team has released another minor bugfix release of KDE 4.2, version 4.2.3, a few days ago. Being a bugfix release, there are few user-visible changes, but still, there are a few things that stand out. "Online IMAP filtering in KMail has been fixed, KMail's system tray icon now reacts to changes to folder properties and updates the number of emails shown there automatically, and bugfixes, performance improvements and optimization in KHTML - painting and interoperability with web standards has been further improved."

I have many systems that run 3 fine but 4 is a total dog. I am not going to buy a new graphics chip for a desktop environment it doesn't make any sense.
Unlike the case for Vista, 3D Graphics chips from circa 2003 have more than enough capability to run KDE4 at better-than-other-desktops speed. That is six years ago.
If your system is older than that, then you probably will have a poor result from KDE4.
In order to avoid the Windows tax, I generally buy a motherboard upgrade kit, a graphics card and a blank hard disk when I want a new machine, and I put it together myself. My current system, which is about two years old now, and low-end specification when I put it together, I paid about $200AUD for the upgrade kit, $80 for the blank hard disk and about $50 for the lowest-spec graphics card that I could find that had a 3D GPU. I already had the box, keyboard and monitor.
$50 for a low-end ATI Radeon 2400 Pro graphics card (and I needed some type of graphics card anyway) doesn't seem to me like a bad deal to be able to run kDE really fast.

Silent movie The Artist crowned its spectacular awards season success by winning five Oscars including the coveted Best Picture prize at the 84th Academy Awards on Sunday.
The French-directed black-and-white movie earned Oscars for best director for Michel Hazanavicius and best actor for Jean Dujardin, who played a silent movie era star whose career was torpedoed by the arrival of the "talkies."
"I love your country," Dujardin told the Hollywood audience as he accepted his Oscar, the first for a French actor, for his role as silent movie star George Valentin, whose career is torpedoed by the arrival of the "talkies."
After thanking the film's cast and crew – adding to "my wife, I love you" – he broke into French, using an expletive and then saying, "Great! Thank you very much!"
Martin Scorsese's 3D adventure Hugo – which had the most nominations, with 11 compared to 10 for The Artist – also ended the evening with five prizes, but all of them came in technical categories.
Meryl Streep won best actress for her powerful turn as former British premier Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, earning a standing ovation from the A-list Hollywood audience.
It was the third Oscar for the 62-year-old Streep and her first in three decades, underscoring her status as the pre-eminent actress of her generation. "When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no. Come on ... Her, again?' You know. But, whatever!" she said, rolling her eyes.
Octavia Spencer took home the prize for best supporting actress for her role as a black maid in the civil rights drama The Help, receiving a standing ovation for her powerhouse performance.
Veteran Canadian actor Christopher Plummer crowned a six-decade acting career with a long-overdue Oscar, a best supporting actor trophy for his role in "Beginners" as an ailing widower who embraces his homosexuality.
Kissing his coveted golden statuette, he joked: "You're only two years older than me, darling – where have you been all my life?" adding that he had been rehearsing his Oscar acceptance speech since he was born.
Hollywood's biggest and most glittering night had long been expected to be a battle between Hugo and The Artist, two odes to film-making.
Other winners included the Johnny-Depp voiced Rango, which won the best animated feature prize, and Woody Allen, who was honoured for best original screenplay for Midnight in Paris.
In the foreign language category, Iran's A Separation beat films from Belgium, Canada, Israel and Poland as expected.
Its director Asghar Farhadi dedicated the award to Iranians "who despise hostility and resentment," and referred to current tension between Tehran and the West over the Islamic republic's suspect nuclear program.
Scorsese was not the only legendary director in the mix – Allen was in the running for best picture honours for Midnight in Paris, and Steven Spielberg gunned for the top prize with War Horse.
Buddies George Clooney and Brad Pitt both lost out to Dujardin, who had already won a slew of awards for his turn as suave George Valentin.
Clooney had downplayed his hopes of winning best actor before the show, saying on the red carpet: "I have a feeling in the best actor race you're going to hear someone speaking French."
The show was presented by a galaxy of stars, including last year's best actress and actor Natalie Portman and Colin Firth, Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Tom Hanks and Angelina Jolie.
Highlights included a breathtaking cinema-themed performance by Canadian dance troupe Cirque du Soleil, including rapid-fire acrobatics and tumbling across the stage and ceiling of the auditorium.
"Wow," said veteran host Billy Crystal, presenting the show for the ninth time. "I pulled a hamstring just watching that."
The spectacle had begun even before the curtain went up, with the usual procession of stars in glittering gowns on the red carpet leading into the Oscars, the climax of Hollywood's annual awards season. - AFP

Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill -- nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo -- but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Come with us there, where all you need to gallop fast and free is a long stick and a soaring imagination.
In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen -- a place that really was, and, once you've been there, always is.

Hi, Non standard / unusual configuration: Centos 5.8 DRBD Using /usr/sbin/drbdlinks We upgraded from ISPConfig 3.0.3 to 184.108.40.206. We can't create any new sites on the server. Shortened debug says: Code: 17.05.2013-13:57 - DEBUG - Action aborted, target is a symlink: /var/www/clients/client2/web157 17.05.2013-13:57 - DEBUG - Removing vhost file: /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/foobar.deleteme.jp.vhost 17.05.2013-13:57 - DEBUG - Removing website: /var/www/clients/client2/web157 17.05.2013-13:57 - DEBUG - Removing symlink: /var/www/foobar.deleteme.jp The "Action aborted, target is a symlink" seems to be the problem here? My guess is this is because /var/www is part of the DRBD setup? Its actual true path is /data/var/www If we compare the /server/lib/classes/system.inc.php between version 3.0.3 and 18.104.22.168 we can see multiple new instances of: Code: $allow_symlink = false Do we need to edit the system.inc.php to $allow_symlink = true, or is there a better solution? Thanks, Ed
No,this would allow your clients or someone who hacked a site to attack your server. The solution is to delete the symlink /var/www and replace it with a bind mount in /etc/fstab, similimar to the bind mounts that are added for the log directories in ispconfig 3.0.5.x.
Hi Till, Many thanks for the speedy reply. Much appreciated. It looks like I need to add something like this is /etc/fstab Code: /var/www /data/var/www none bind,nobootwait 0 0 and then modify /etc/drbdlinks.conf to remove Code: link('/var/www') and then add Code: link('/var/www', '/data/var/www') I'll get on and research this. Not used Bind Mounts before! Thanks again, Ed

Featured Blu-ray review: Dan Curtis' Dracula
May 25th, 2014
Dan Curtis' Dracula - Blu-ray - Buy from Amazon
Dan Curtis is best know for creating Dark Shadows, a Gothic supernatural soap opera that ran for five years starting in 1966. He also directed a number of other projects, mostly TV projects like a couple of mini-series and TV movies. One such TV movie was Dracula, starring Jack Palance. This TV movie came out 40 years ago this year. How does it compare to other adaptations of Bram Stoker's novel? And has it aged well?
This adaptation of Dracula is very faithful to the original novel, which leaves me with not a lot to talk about. You know how the story goes, which is a bit of an issue when it comes to suspenseful movies like this. Dracula isn't revealed to be a vampire until 20 minutes into the movie, but you know Count Dracula is a vampire from the moment you realize you are watching a movie called Dracula. Because of that, we will go with a shorter plot summary than usual.
The film takes place in Bistritz, Hungary in 1897 and starts when an Englishman, Jonathan Harker, arrives to help Count Dracula purchase a property in England. While looking over photographs of potential properties, Dracula becomes enthralled with one of the women in them, Lucy, Jonathan's fiancée's best friend. Dracula decides to purchase a home near where Lucy lives, and since Jonathan is of no real use anymore, he is dealt with.
About a month later, we see a boat crashed up on the shore near Whitby, England. The captain is at the wheel, dead, with a crucifix in his hand, while Dracula is on the shore. We then jump to a train station where Mina arrives in Whitby. She's come, because Lucy has become ill and the doctors aren't sure why. Arthur, Lucy's fiancée has called in a new doctor, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing. Van Helsing notices two puncture wounds on her neck. He tells Lucy she will be fine, but it is clear is he greatly worried and takes precautions that includes garlic. Sadly, these precautions are not enough.
I'm sure nearly everyone reading this knows how the rest of the story goes, but even so, I will end the plot summary there to avoid too many spoilers.
Like I mentioned above, the familiarity of the story makes it hard for the filmmakers to generate as much tension as they otherwise would. There are a few major changes to the story, the biggest of which is having Lucy be a reincarnation of Dracula, a plot twist Dan Curtis used in Dark Shadows. It is also a plot twist that has since been used a number of times when it comes to adapting Dracula, so much so that I was actually surprised it wasn't part of the original story. Fortunately, while there are not a lot of surprises in the movie, it still works thanks to a number of reasons. Firstly, Jack Palance was a great choice to play the titular Count Dracula. This was the first pleasant surprise. Don't get me wrong, I really like Jack Palance as an actor and he's played more than his fair share of villains. Hell, even his heroes tend to be menacing. That said, he isn't the obvious choice to play a vampire. He really does an amazing job with the role creating a more complete character than we usually see. Granted, he isn't as good and Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee, but he's could be in the top ten. That's really impressive, as Dracula has appeared in over 200 movies over the years.
Jack Palance wasn't the only cast member to bring a lot to the movie. The supporting cast was also strong in their roles, especially Nigel Davenport. The directing was excellent with Dan Curtis bringing much needed tension to the early parts of the film where the audience was most likely ahead of the story. Additionally, he helped guide the most important change to the story and that element is a very important one. It helps humanize Dracula, for lack of a better term. It makes him a more complex character and that makes him a more compelling villain.
Extras begin with a four-minute interview with Jack Palance and another four-minute interview with Dan Curtis. Both are archival interviews, but I'm not sure when they were recorded. Jack Palance mentions the movie was 20 years old, so that would put it in the mid-1990s. There are nearly seven minutes of behind-the-scenes footage presented in high definition, but without original audio (there is a score). Finally, there is a look at a couple of scenes showing the differences between the TV cut and the theatrical cut. (It was common for movies made for American TV to be shown in theaters in some markets.) Even the theatrical cut with its additional blood would be considered tame by today's TV standards.
The film was shot on 35mm and transferred to 2k for this restoration. You can tell. The film looks great, given its age and its likely smaller TV movie budget. The level of detail is strong throughout, while the colors are vibrant. Contrast and shadows are never an issue. On the other hand, there are signs of print damage here and there. Like I said, it is 40 years old, so this isn't that surprising. The audio isn't as good as the video. The dialogue is clear and there are no serious problems. However, it is a 2.0 track that lacks depth. You can't blame the audio track for that, as it is very likely a limitation of the source material.
A lot of people compare Dan Curtis' Dracula to a Hammer Horror movie, and I think that' is both a compliment and a fair assessment of the movie. There's not a lot new to this adaptations that isn't in others, but the reincarnation twist and the performance by Jack Palance make it one of the better Draculas you will see. There are not a ton of extras on the Blu-ray, but the technical presentation is enough that it is worth the $17 asking price.

List of 693 Greece Born Died During Deportation WWII
2 comments:
Dear Mrs.Georgua Keilman,
Can you please tell where can I in Greece get marriage document of the wedding between Mrs. Alexandra(Sarah) OZMO (or Osmo)born in Corfu 1915, survivor of the WW2, and her Christian husband Mr. Costadino Shif or Shifros or Shirot( we do not know exactly his surname),which took place in Athens around the years
we know that Costadino ,who also was in Bergen-Belsen and there he met Alexandra (Jewish) died in 1947-8 in Athens (Piraeus) from tuberculosis.
The couple had two sons born also in Athens:1946,1948)
After Costadino died ,Sarah immigrated to Israel
(1949)with her two sons.
Now her sons,who never knew the father, are trying to find documents about his death,about his marriage and about their birth.
Do you have any idea how to get those documents.
Thank you in advance and have a good new year.
Dani Inbar
a friend of the sons Yorgio and Dimitrios

Bounce bras
- Author
- Message
Hi ladies I'm a new marathon runner in training- I have 32e chest and have been wearing the new Panache sports bra. Fantastic for support but during my 2 hour run yesterday, it rubbed me raw! Now got several nasty sores over my delicate parts and not sure what to do! Has anyone had the same and what did you do to help it/stop it? Thanks girls!

Hello there, can't say I've ever had an issue with my sports bras I'm 30ff and use shock absorber bras. Never really had an issue with them except my newest one it quite tight but I'm sure itll relax a bit at some point, have you tried lubricating where it's rubbing, using vasaline? That tends to ease chaffing somewhat, sorry I can't help much.
You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
AT LAST..!!!...an interesting thread..!..pictures would be helpful though.??~
Where'd everyone go...?
What a relief !!!! If this thread hadn't brought Flanker back then we'd have had to organise a collection for a wreath !!!!!
I've had loads of problems trying to sort out boob support. I'm unlike you however, as have very small ones, so not so much of a support problem. I didn't get on with support bras at all. All were way too tight and would probably have rubbed. I'm now wearing a vest top type and find it quite comfortable, although rather tight around the ribs, which doesn't help with the breathing. Not sure if they'd support a larger boob, but definitely the best option for rubbing. Also, I sometimes wear my comfy ordinary bra and tie ribbon around the straps to stop them from falling down my arms - maybe you could adapt one of your normal ones. I don't know, woman and their boobs!!!
We can do this, Just keep going!!

I'm reasonably well endowed (36D) and have always used shock absorber bras, never had a problem with chafing, best one by far is the run bra, fantastic bit of kit!

LOL at Flanks........34DD for me and I wear two bras.....both Shock Absorbers and the one on top is the crop top type one. Works for me...clamp 'em all done I say !!
Am NOW a Wannabe.
71 done - 29 to do - shoot me now!!
I use Shock Absorber as well but am a victim of chafing, for me it's just making sure I vaseline up enough but still have a tendency to still end up looking like an abuse victim, not a great look.
** whispers ** I'm keeping quiet. Anything I say would sound creepy anyway
Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit
I've only ever chaffed at the back where the clasps are - once quite badly as one hook had got bent and it rubbed me all the way aound Portsmouth marathon.....in the end I shoved an empty gel packet up under it....very sore it was. I also get rubbing from the clasps if wearing a backpack so now always make sure I use anti chaffing cream.
Sometimes you don't realise you've got chaffing until you steop under the shower then when the water hits you....OUCHIE !!!!!!!
Am NOW a Wannabe.
71 done - 29 to do - shoot me now!!
Where'd everyone go...?
Allright Flanks ?? ;-)
Am NOW a Wannabe.
71 done - 29 to do - shoot me now!!
Yes, that's what I thought
Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit
I use shock absorber and never had a problem with rubbing-am 34C but used to be several sizes bigger (one of the unfortunate and unforeseen side effects of weight loss from running!) and same bra worked great then as well. I use body glide on my back and shoulders where the straps are- A couple of girlies I know who have done marathons have said that they struggled with rubbing as they focused on putting body glide on their nipples, which ended up fine but they were rubbed raw from the clasps so worth putting some on all over I think!
Hi Girls,
Cheers Billyboy
The finish of your last marathon, is the start of your next one,

I got mine from Bravissimo. Called Royce and Impact Free. 32FF.
Trouble with mine is I try to keep them clean but they're losing the support plus I think from the fabric conditioner had a bit of irritation.
Pain in the back really! Grrr. But I'll have to fork out for a new one or two before April. Who knew running could be so pricey?

Although I think its approx 26.2!
Amazing. Thanks so much for all your advice and help! I will be having a good shop this week to strap these bad boys down once and for all! Xx

Shock Absorber running bra for me too at 38FF. I did injure my shoulder once trying to put it on though but it's the best sports bra I've ever had. Minimal bounce and only a tiny bit of chafing one on an LSR but a bit of bodyglide soon sorted that out.

There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere. The moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the Arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question.

..piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won't in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you'll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning "to flow with abundance". So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world.
Russell Simmons
Well I think as designers we realize that design is a signal of intention but it also has to occur within a world and we have to understand that world in order to imbue our designs with inherent intelligence so when we look back at the basic state of affairs in which we design we, in a way, need to go to the primordial condition to understand the operating system and the frame conditions of the planet and the exiting part of that is the good news that's there because the news is the news of abundance and not the news of limits and I think as our culture tortures itself now with tyrranies and concerns over limits and fear we can add this other dimension of abundance that is coherent driven by the sun and start to imagine what that would be like to share

California officials are going into overdrive in an effort to let business owners across the state know about a program geared toward encouraging new investment through a series of tax credits and other incentives.
There is, however, a ticking clock. Executives have only a little more than three weeks to apply for the first round of incentives, dubbed âCalifornia Competes.â
Officials from the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, commonly know as âGoBiz,â were in Ontario on Wednesday, March 27 to discuss the parameters of California Competes. The program is designed to attract new businesses to the state and provide strong financial incentives for existing companies to expand and hire more people.
The meeting in Ontario drew a fairly large crowd, said Paul Granillo, president and CEO of the Inland Empire Economic Partnership, the regionâs biggest economic development advocate. GoBiz officials have had a series of meetings at various locations, and the one held about a week ago in Los Angeles was filled to capacity.
âI think there was some enthusiasm,â Granillo said of Wednesdayâs briefing. âThe overall consensus was that there was good feedback.â
California Competes was created as an incentive for business development after the state began phasing out the Enterprise Zone program last year. It was also an answer to the frequent criticism that California is not friendly to businesses. That perception is one of the reasons other states, such as Texas and New York, have launched marketing campaigns, complete with television ads designed to lure businesses.

âIt seems like a good attempt to help small businesses,â Gonzales said.
