Saints Nation: Hartley activated from suspension
Posted 10-13-2009 at 09:54 AM by saints-nation
Garrett Hartley has rejoined the Saints after coming off his four game suspension. Hartley joins John Carney as the second kicker on the roster, as the Saints have for the moment decided to carry both. Third string quarterback Chase Daniel has been released to make room on the roster for Hartley. Beyond keeping Hartley around for future seasons, it's pretty unclear what his role will be for the rest of the season. Carney has been accurate and reliable, and rookie punter Thomas Morstead has had the kickoff duties on lockdown since taking over. Interesting that the Saints decided not to part ways with Carney, yet decided to hang on to Hartley as well. Keeping two kickers on the roster, especially when one is inactive for games, is a very odd decision. It looks like the Saints didn't want to mortgage their future, nor did they want to change the good thing they have going with Carney. The good news is the Saints can absorb two kickers on their roster currently given the relative good health of the team, but down the road they may be forced to make a tough decision and release one of the two players if injuries become a factor. I can't imagine the Saints will keep 2 kickers on their roster indefinitely when one serves no purpose on gamedays. While Hartley could contribute on kickoffs, I'm sure the Saints see no reason to replace Morstead who has been extremely effective. My guess is Hartley will have to prove in the next couple weeks during practice that he's reliable, that way when the Saints' hand is forced to make a decision at some point Hartley will be under consideration as the full time kicker over Carney. There is no question Hartley has a much stronger leg at this point in his career, but he'll need to show he's as accurate as Carney inside 40 yard attempts too. Based on Hartley's performance in preseason that's not obvious. There's also the regret from the current regime for letting Carney go the first time, and the danger of paying for that same mistake again gives Carney a psychological advantage staying on the roster through the end of the year.

Brian Billick, former Ravens coach
Brian Billick had heard all week about what his 2000 team's defense was going to do to the Cleveland Browns. The Lewis-led group already had four shutouts in the first 12 games, including one against the Browns in Week 5 that year. When the Browns arrived in Baltimore in late November with Doug Pederson as the starting quarterback, the Ravens expected more of the same. "The guys were feeling it all week long, [saying] this is going to be another shutout," said Billick, the Ravens' coach from 1999 to 2007. "Well, Cleveland comes out and goes 86 yards on the opening drive. I'm walking down the sidelines, and Ray and Rod [Woodson] are coming off the field first. So I'm going to go do my head-coaching thing. And Ray looks at me and says, 'Don't say a thing, I got it.' So I go left to the Gatorade and get out of the way. They had 112 yards total for the day after giving up 86 on that drive. I said, 'OK, anytime you want to do that, you go right ahead, Ray.' I learned right then and there to stay out of the way." Two months later, the Ravens defense was dominant again, this time in a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV. "When you see a Shannon Sharpe, a Rod Woodson, a Trent Dilfer, a Tony Siragusa, who have been in the league for a while and who normally would be those leaders, and they are willing to capitulate the leadership of this team to a young Ray Lewis, that told" him everything, Billick said. "Normally, those guys would have said, 'Hold on, young man, you can dance all you want, but I'm going to set the tone for this team.' "[But] they saw it, and these are Hall of Famers, in the case of Shannon Sharpe and Rod Woodson. That told me there is something special about this guy [and] that they are willing to follow his lead. They knew what it led to." -- Jeff Zrebiec

Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick's practice, beginning with his early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s. His films are represented through a selection of annotated scripts, production photography, lenses and cameras, set models, costumes, and props. In addition, the exhibition explores Napoleon and The Aryan Papers, two projects that Kubrick never completed, as well as the technological advances developed and utilized by Kubrick and his team. By featuring this legendary film auteur and his oeuvre as the focus of his first retrospective in the context of an art museum, the exhibition reevaluates how we define the artist in the 21st century, and simultaneously expands upon LACMA's commitment to exploring the intersection of art and film.
See this exhibition for free: become a member.
This exhibition is organized by the Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, Christiane Kubrick and The Stanley Kubrick Archive at University of the Arts London, with the support of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Sony-Columbia Pictures Industries Inc., Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios Inc., Universal Studios Inc., and SK Film Archives LLC.
In Los Angeles, Stanley Kubrick is co-presented by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and has been generously supported by Steve Tisch. Additional funding has been provided by Warner Bros. Entertainment, Violet Spitzer-Lucas and the Spitzer Family Foundation.

Elvis Mitchell on Stanley Kubrick
LACMA film curator Elvis Mitchell talks about the exhibition Stanley Kubrick in the context of the museum's commitment to art and film.
Full Metal Jacket: A Q&A with Matthew Modine
During the making of Full Metal Jacket, actor Matthew Modine kept a diary and took numerous photos on set. In 2005 it was published as a book, Full Metal Jacket Diary, now out of print. Modine has since developed the diary into an innovative app—or "app-umentary"—for the iPad (available from iTunes). Unframed's Scott Tennent caught up with Modine inside the Stanley Kubrick exhibition to talk about the making of the movie, the book, and the app...
Dreaming Big with Stanley Kubrick
In the fall of 2007 I would often visit LACMA after school to see the exhibition Dalí & Film, which was on view at the time. I was mesmerized by the exhibition design, which led me on a surreal journey of still and moving pictures. I would sit in front of the animated film Destino as it looped, watching images of objects morph into one another. I fell in love with Salvador Dalí in an entirely different way. I saw how an artist can be multifaceted, translating ideas into art through a variety of media, including both drawing and technology. That exhibition was one of LACMA's (and my) first major forays into the world of art and film...

After seeing action in the Siege of Paris, he was a military engineer in Indochina, West Africa and Madagascar. Joffree rose to general of division in 1905 and then chief of the French general staff in 1911. He became a national hero for the victory at the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, but the slow response to the German buildup before the Battle of Verdun damaged his standing. Joffree served as a Field Marshall from late 1916 until the end of the war, and spent much of his remaining years writing his memoirs.

This was aired in 6-minute blocks as an intermission for some late night chick oriented-TV show. The theme song was by Penicillin, and the damn thing made absolutely NO sense.
In between scenes, the artist would draw ukelele lessons, and then it'd get back to the show.
It's not worth watching, except for episode #2 with the soccer ball, and the best line in the entire series, "Why is he bleeding from THAT side of his face?!"

Dangaioh Not the Manga Entertainment version where it's english only with the first episode nearly cut entirely, but the old VHS version done by another company (subbed only) that is nearly impossible to find now. I managed to luck out and find this 10 years or so at a nearby Rogers Video
Voltron The original anime series on VHS. I got 5 tapes that I bought from Rogers when they had a clearance sale on old videos. Unfortunately my mom gave them to my relatives in Calgary a few years ago without my permission (I was on a trip at Toronto at the time). She also gave away my Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland VHS

What does "rare" mean???
Everyone has some rare series to talk about. I want a series that is so popular everywhere but the version I want to collect is practically impossible.
I want to collect Pokeman and hello kitty in Japanese dialoque and English sub on DVDs?
I am really serious. Anyone know are those even exist?

Also, I forgot to add Little Nemo. Its an American-Japanese co-production that Miyazaki and Takahata were going to work on but quit in the pre-production stage due to differences with the director/producer/can't remember. Its a shame, because it had the making of an awesome story that didn't live up to its promise. It was only ever released on dubbed VHS in America I think. It told the story of the land of dreams and nightmares and cool flying beds and things. Damn, I lost that tape...

This is somewhat off-topic, but there's a Little Nemo game for the NES that came out here in America. It's developed by Capcom and the full title is Little Nemo: The Dream Master. It's actually a pretty good game, I wasn't aware it was based on an anime until now.

You just can't count Maico 2010 as rare anymore. Perhaps a few months ago you would have been l337 to have seen it, but episode 9 was released by F-B on Friday. In just the last 3 days it has already been downloaded by 1942 people.
That is not rare.

Oh, I've also seen Lingerie Soldier Papillion Rose, an ecchi (or hentai?) parody OVA of Sailor Moon.
I've seen a raw version of Studio 4C's Arete-hime, very Ghibli-esque fairy tale. Easy to find on Japanese R2 DVD but not so in English. (I have yet to find a sub...)
I've also seen Plastic Flower, some Korean animated music video, very reminiscent of Wonderful Days and made around the same time. It may have been a promo for an upcoming Korean animated film. I'm having trouble identifying its source and purpose.
Also seen part of Bewitching Nozomi, popular on VHS fansub but impossible to find subbed otherwise. Actually, I've only seen one part of it. I need to find the rest! Something about boxing and Adachi.
I don't own a tape player anymore, so it would be awesome if we could find all these rare anime on DVD, fansub DVD, or digisubs!

Why does everyone, people not in North America excluded to some extent, consider a licensed series that is widely available and easy to acquire rare? Do you consider them rare because they're old or might cost a bit to import?
Dominion Tank Police and New Dominion Tank Police aren't that rare...
Every video store around here has atleast two copies of each DVD.
I would have said the Spirit of Wonder series, but Bandai has it out on DVD and a recently a boxset was released for it in Japan with included English dub track and subtitles. It's not so rare anymore...
Just as an example, I consider a series like Mainichi ga Nichiyoubi (Everyday is Sunday) truly rare. Although it was fansubbed, the last two episodes are really hard to find. It only recieved a laserdisc only release and the few laserdisc copies left are near impossible to acquire.

I don't know but i would go as far as to say that New Dominion Tank Police was a superior sequel to the first Dominion. I have them right here on 6 VHS, slowly but surely degrading^^
I recently came by a VHS of Super Deformed Double Feature featuring Ten Little Gall Force and Scramble Wars. I don't know if that one would count as rare, but it is no longer produced and i don't see too many copys of it nowadays anymore.

Tomorrow is the day for family, friends, good food and to think about all the many things we are grateful for. Kids may simply equate Thanksgiving with getting a few days off from school, eating a lot and playing with cousins, but there are a few websites that will add some education and fun to this festive day.
National Geographic Kids is a great site for learning about the history of Thanksgiving. Did you know that the first Thanksgiving meal consisted of deer, corn, shellfish, roasted meat and cranberries? There is a brief description about the relationship between the settlers and the Native Americans, and how the holiday came to be.
If your kids want to add their own personal flair to the dining room table, check out Kaboose for an array of Thanksgiving arts and crafts they can do. A centerpiece made by your child is certainly a great way for them to feel like they have contributed to the day.
When guests come to the door, kids will enjoy saying things like, "Good morrow," or "What cheer?" instead of "Hi, how are you?" And doing so is quite fitting since those phrases are how pilgrims used to speak. Check out the Plimoth Plantation website to see more pilgrim phrases.
Finally, when there is a lull in conversation at the table or people are starting to get sleepy from all the tryptophan, have your kid break out some funny Thanksgiving jokes. Kids telling jokes is always a hit – there are a slew of them at Hello Kids, all G-rated.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Top 75 Websites For Your Career. In early August, Forbes Leadership put out a call for nominations for our inaugural list of the best career websites, largely inspired by ForbesWoman's annual list of Top 100 Websites For Women. We endeavored to assemble a comprehensive guide to smart and engaging sites. To accomplish this we challenged you, our readers, to submit your picks for the best online destinations for interns, job seekers, business owners, established professionals, retirees, and anyone else looking to launch, improve, advance, or change his or her career.
We received a wealth of comments, emails and tweets with your choices–about 1,500 of them, naming roughly 700 different websites. To taper the list down to 75, my colleague Susan Adams and I combed through the stack and hand-picked the sites we thought our readers would find most compelling and useful for things like job listings, facts and figures, and career insights and guidance.
Susan has written an accompanying post with our picks for the ten best sites from our list of 75. She reminds readers that while there are some great resources on the web, they shouldn't spend too much time on the Internet scouring listings, reading career advice or blasting out their résumé. Especially for those in job search mode, it's better to spend time researching companies, networking and meeting people face to face.
Our full list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career is not a ranking and there are no winners or losers; it's simply a compilation of nominated sites that we believe deserve some special recognition. The list includes blogs, job aggregators and boards, personal career coaching pages, and traditional media outlets' career sites that could be useful to those in traditional 9 to 5 office jobs, Federal workers, work-from-home professionals, entrepreneurs, college students and retirees.
Here's our first-ever list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career (in alphabetical order):
Owned by The New York Times, About.com offers a wealth of free information for job seekers and those looking to advance their careers, including articles about everything from how to get along with your boss to questions not to ask an employer during an interview. About.com also links to other sites focused on specific careers like advertising or criminology, that have articles on topics like copywriting or the day in the life of a police officer. Users can also read up on the history of various fields, find a list of schools where they can study for a particular degree, or peruse an article on the most popular jobs in a given field. The site links to job listings powered by Indeed.com. Job search and employment expert Alison Doyle has been About.com's job search guide since 1998.
This is the site for Betts Recruiting, which searches for talent for the business side of venture capital-backed startups in New York City and Silicon Valley. The focus is on sales, marketing and business development staff from the junior level through vice president.
Co-founded by career coach Pamela Skillings, who used to work in human resources at Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and MasterCard International, Big Interview offers online interviewing tutorials where users pay $197 for a package of three installments. Users can prep for industry-specific interviews like pharmaceutical sales or advertising. The prep involves an on-screen interviewer asking questions like, "tell me about yourself," and "why are you interested in this position?" The user then records her answer and watches it back onscreen. The site offers numerous tips for different stages of the interview process (sample answer, in part: "I love managing teams and solving customer problems.")
Blogging4Jobs.com is an online workplace resource for managers, leaders, human resources, and recruiting professionals. They take their audience to "uncomfortable, yet necessary," places exposing them to the realities of the workplace without the "corporate sugar coating." The site was launched in 2007 with a goal of helping job seekers learn the unwritten rules of job searching. The site has since expanded to offer insights into the world of work from a corporate and operations no-nonsense point of view.
Boomer Job Tops offers ideas, hints, tips and how-to's for the growing baby boomer population to help them find a job, win an interview or move their career forward. The site has hundreds of articles from experts in the career area on résumés, interviews, strategy and tactics with a "boomer focus."
CareerBliss is all about helping people lead happier lives by finding happiness in the workplace. The job information-hub offers free resources, like its "happiness assessment" developed by experts, a database of 6.5 million salaries, 600,000 company reviews, and 3 million job listings. Using its large database of reviews and survey results, the site regularly releases lists like, "The Happiest For Working Dads" and "The Happiest Companies to Work For."
Founded in 1995, CareerBuilder is one of the biggest online job boards. Its scope is international, with a presence in more than 60 markets worldwide. The site helps employers refine and target job descriptions to attract talent. Users can post résumés on the site and for a fee, get help writing résumés ($180-$300), cover letters ($50), thank-you notes ($15) and compiling references ($10). The site also offers paid online courses in different fields, like marketing and dentistry.

Tom is a very troubled songwriter. Not only is his career at an all-time low, but the house he has recently become caretaker for is proving to be more than just a little odd. What Tom discovers growing out of the basement floor is terribly unsettling-a human hand, which quickly develops an arm, a head, and a personality of its own. Tom takes care of this growth, becoming its only friend and provider. Tom also finds himself falling in love with a beautiful girl named Veronica, who happens to be his neighbor Philip's main squeeze. Now Tom is torn between a strange but healthy relationship with The Growth ("Archie") and an adulterous and troublesome relationship with Veronica, whose life is more mysterious in many ways than The Growth's.

California Court: We Won't Issue A Subpoena To Identify Someone Just To Prove 'Someone Is Wrong On The Internet'
from the anonymous-speech-is-important dept
A year ago, we were disappointed to see a trial court side with Grooveshark and order DMN "preserve" logs that had long ago been deleted in the regular course of DMN running its business. Even worse, the court wanted DMN to hand over its server hard drives for Grooveshark to try to do a forensic analysis of the deleted data to see if it could identify the deleted information about the commenter. DMN appealed the ruling and a California state appeals court has overturned the original ruling -- but did so for reasons other than Levy and DMN had suggested.
Levy and DMN had argued, quite reasonably, that the First Amendment barred revealing the anonymous commenter and also that since the data had already been deleted in the regular course of business, that it cannot be required to preserve servers that might possibly have that data hidden somewhere. Instead, the court ruled in a different manner, saying that the commenter's identity could be protected, but because of California's constitutional privacy protections:
Even if Visitor's identifying information was reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence, his or her right to privacy under the California Constitution would outweigh Escape's need for the information. "The right to speak anonymously draws its strength from two separate constitutional wellsprings: the First Amendment's freedom of speech and the right of privacy in article I, section 1 of the California Constitution." .... The California Constitution provides that all people have a right of privacy.... This express right is broader than the implied federal right to privacy.... The California privacy right "protects the speech and privacy rights of individuals who wish to promulgate their information and ideas in a public forum while keeping their identities secret," and "limits what courts can compel through civil discovery."Perhaps even more interesting is that Justice Victoria Chaney appears to channel XKCD in pointing out that we can't just go around willy-nilly identifying people online just because you don't like what they say:
Visitor has done nothing more than provide commentary about an ongoing public dispute in a forum that could hardly be more obscure—the busy online comments section of a digital trade newspaper. Such commentary has become ubiquitous on the Internet and is widely perceived to carry no indicium of reliability and little weight. We will not lightly lend the subpoena power of the courts to prove, in essence, that Someone Is Wrong On The Internet.Well said.

Difference between revisions of "Ingushetia"
Revision as of 22:04, 10 April 2012
Other destinations
The Ingush are relatives of the Chechens and have shared their Sunni Islamic beliefs as well as their fate in rebellion and conquest vis-à-vis the Russians. In the beginning of the 19th century, a Chechen scholar peacefully converted most Ingush into Islam. Like the Chechens, the Ingush were accused by Stalin of Nazi collaboration and were deported to Kazakhstan. When Khrushchev allowed them to return home, they found that their Orthodox Christian neighbors, the Ossetes, had settled on formerly Ingush lands, launching a violent ethnic conflict which rages on today.
Around 1929-1991, Ingushetia was merged with Chechnya to form the Chechen-Ingush ASSR, and became separated. By 1991, the first Ingush president, Ruslan Aushev attempted to help the already weak economy, and when the first Chechen war started, this created a tremendous problem for the economy. It collapsed after Aushev's success. However, he was forced to leave office when the second Chechen war started. Aushev also founded the city of Magas.
By 2002, Murat Zyazikov came into office, and since then the political and economic situation has worsened, and Zyazikov recieved harsh criticism for his disregard for human rights, corruption, and social and political problems. This was because of alleged abductions, illegal beatings, unlawful arrests and killings of suspects by the federal forces and local police and allied paramilitaries. By 2008, a new president, Yunus-bek Yevkurov succeeded the unpopular Zyazikov and began a campaign into improving the situation in the region.
The poor situation in the republic has made it a magnet for terrorism for Chechen and Ingush rebels, and has continued to make it more uneasy for travelers to visit. The region is desperately very poor, where only 5 in 10 are employed and a large part of the people live in severe poverty and live below $2 a day. The prospects of change are seriously remote at present.
Although the majority of Ingushetia's population lives in the larger northern towns, the Ingush consider their true heritage to be tied to the ancient auls (stone mountaintop villages) in the south of Ingushetia, especially along the Assy Gorge.
Get in
By plane
Planes from Moscow (Vnukovo or Domodedovo airport) to Ingushetia Magas (airport near Ordzhonekidzovskaya).
By train
A train leaves from/to Moscow one time for 4 days. 487C Nazran-Moscow depart 8:10PM arrive 11:30AM (total trip time: 39 hours 20 minutes) 487E Moscow-Nazran depart 4:25PM arrive 5:40AM (total trip time: 37 hours 15 minutes)
By bus
A daily bus leaves from/to Grozny,Nalchik and Stavropol. Regular buses leaves from/to Moscow . A small buses leaves from/to Nalchik and other north-caucasians,south-russians cities(i.e.,to Vladikavkaz).
Get around
Russian is understood by all, as well as the official language, Ingush. Ingush is commonly known as ГІалгІай мотт (Ğalğaj mott). Ingush is a language related to Chechen and also other regional languages is common. English is spoken by nobody, even in the largest city, Nazran.
"Assa" Hotel-located in Nazran
Stay safe
Ingushetia is the most lawless region in Russia after Chechnya, and should largely be avoided. Travel is not recommended for Ingushetia until the security situation improves drastically. At present, Ingushetia should be considered a war zone.
Most hotel staff and the local inhabitants are very well aware of the situation in the republic, and are likely to offer you a lot of help. It is wise not to take a stroll all by yourself as you yourself can pose a target opportunity for corrupt and lawless authorities, or maybe, militants. Generally, most staff from hotels will accompany you to avoid any trouble.
A tight security situation is present, and at most checkpoints, they are likely to pull you over if you drive/are in a vehicle with coloured windows. Likewise, these vehicles are of much suspicion, as the security may think you are a terrorist. The security will search your vehicle for suspicious items (weapons, explosives, etc.)
The police force in the region are notoriously very corrupt and lawless, and it is not uncommon for them to pull you over for a bribe. The military at present are not corrupt compared to the police, and soldiers are all over the region, even in hotels to look after the well being of visitors. However, the estimates of infantry at particular buildings vary, depending on the safety of the place.
Phone scams are very rampant in Ingushetia. Due to such risks, it is best no to pick up a phone call from someone you are unfamiliar with. If in a hotel, ask first before you continue on.
Stay healthy
Ingushetia is an Islamic society, and therefore visitors are required to behave properly. Ingushetia is somewhat a traditionally conservative region with Islamic customs. Even though the region is predominantly Islamic, there is no dress code in effect and most of the locals, even the women are highly westernized. However, some women prefer to wear a veil, but this in general doesn't really apply to female visitors.
The locals in general are interested in getting to know about foreigners, and are generally helpful to visitors around this volatile region. As said, Ingush locals treat visitors like guests, and don't throw this opportunity away.
Even though most Islamic nations ban the consumption of alcohol, Ingush do drink alcohol, and stores selling alcohol are widespread.
Likewise, always keep political opinions to yourself to avoid any danger.
In Ingushetia there are three federal GSM operators (MTS, Beeline, Megafon) and they often have offers that give you a SIM card for free or at least very cheap. If you are planning to stay a while and to keep in touch with Ingushetian and other North-Caucasus people, then you should consider buying a local SIM card instead of going on roaming. If you buy a SIM card from a shop you'll need your passport for identification. It only takes five minutes to do the paperwork and it will cost less than $10.

I was so lucky to be able to attend the writer's conference at Arizona State University last weekend. Three days of listening to and hanging out with writers. The inspiration was visible on the faces of those attending.
After snow in Scottsdale earlier in the week the weekend was gorgeous and we were able to spend time around the fountain as we wondered back and forth between two historic buildings on the campus. I have always been in love with these buildings. Back when I was a student at ASU this was my favorite place to relax. The have refurbished them and the wooden staircases and window casings are wonderful.
What a perfect place to share our love of writing.
I have many things to share about what I learned and felt during the event but I'm still digesting (and recovering).
One highlight was asking Diana Gabaldon,
best selling author of the Outlander series for a picture to send to my daughter-in-law. One of her biggest fans.
Diana was was most gracious.
Yvette, this one's for you.
(For those who aren't sure Diana is on the right.)
Excuse me while I go do some writing. So many ideas, so little time.

MaskIt extension removal
What is MaskIt?
Also Known As: MaskIt virus
MaskIt is one of the suspicious web browser extension which may affect your web browsing experience in a negative way. This threat is not malicious in itself, but it can perform extremely annoying activities and sometimes even poses a serious harm to your system. Thus, system security researchers have already categorized MaskIt as a potentially unwanted program or an adware infection. Once gets installed successfully on your PC, this questionable program starts generating unstoppable advertisements with price comparison, coupons, deals and so on.
MaskIt may sound like an useful and economically friendly software, especially for those computer users who prefer online shopping. After MaskIt sets itself onto your PC, you may notice that it display unwanted ads, pop-ups, and sponsored links every time whenever you started browsing the web. This is because most of the adware related programs are especially designed to support the third parties and to increase there benefits by driving maximum traffic to affiliate web portals.
Additionally, the advertisements displayed by MaskIt may be linked to phishing websites. In case, if you click on those pop-ups, you may be rerouted to insecure sites and pick up malware or virus. Not to mention, MaskIt threat may track your non-personally and personally identifiable data, such as browser information, IP addresses, referring web pages, geographical locations, cookies and other information. However, keep in mind that this application has no real value, we strongly recommend to remove this adware completely from your system.
STEP 1. MaskIt removal guide
In this step we will use a removal tool that can locate and remove all kinds of threats from infected computers. Either its malicious programs, registry key, browser add-ons and extension, GridinSoft Anti-Malware can effectivly detect and remove this badware:

STEP 3. Protect your computer from MaskIt reinfection
Removing viruses and malicious programs is one thing. The best practice in protection is to not get infected in the first place. To achieve that you must use reliable protection tool and follow simple rules or recommended advices to avoid infections completely. Here is the list of these tips:
Watch out for spam emails and attachments. A lot of cyber criminals and malware spreaders are using email spam messaging. Most of these messages have attachment files that can be dangerous to open. We advice to skip suspicious files, don't even download them on your computer.
Adverts and redirect page. Some websites showing ads and pop-up on their pages. Along with this adware programs may generate various adverts on your computer. Clicking on them is very dangerous and leads to unexpected consequences.
Don't open suspicious links and websites. Hackers and scammer are often creating websites of their own where they can do whatever they want. You can download only malware and unwanted programs from such pages.
Pay attention to what you install. If you have downloaded any program from suspicious website or anywhere else – always read all instruction and don't click "Next" all the time.
Use protection tools. No matter how hard you try, some sneaky malware may break through all your defences. In this case you should always keep an anti-malware protection online on your computer. GridinSoft Anti-Malware has On-Run Protection feature. It is designed to keep this kind of malware from your computer. To activate this feature go to "Protect" tab and press "Start" button to the right. The label will show you "ON", which means that On-Run protection is online.

Will Tate took his headphones off, swirled around to get my attention, and said four words I have come to dread. "What score you got?," asked Tate, who was helping broadcast Monday's Central Davidson/Lexington clash for WLXN radio.
Will Tate took his headphones off, swirled around to get my attention, and said four words I have come to dread. "What score you got?," asked Tate, who was helping broadcast Monday's Central Davidson/Lexington clash for WLXN radio.
That question, along with some of the most bizarre postponements, delays and cancellations, have emerged as two of the prevailing themes of this basketball season.
At the time, Lexington should have been leading Central, the host team, 24-22. But the score on the board read 24-21, Lexington. I looked back over my play-by-play, because I am by no means perfect. I am as capable as anybody of making a mistake in my running score. But if Will had the same score I had, and we both had something different than what was on the board, I got a little concerned.
To make matters worse, Will — who, until this point, I considered a friend — tried to put me in the middle of the action when the officials came out of the locker room at halftime. By this point, Lexington held what looked like a comfortable 38-29 lead on the scoreboard. But that one missing point was still bothering Will, not because he wanted Central to win, but because he didn't want to see a team denied a point it had earned. He told the scorekeepers about the discrepancy, and asked both scorekeepers about it.
Will asked me to verify his point — while I was sitting in the middle of the Lexington cheering section. He wanted me to put a point on the board for the enemy. No way. I didn't want any part of that; I'm there to cover the game, not to become part of the game. Although the Spartans had earned that point, I wasn't going to put myself in the middle of anything.
Stuart Koontz, who handles the announcing at Central, said the board initially had the score correct. But, early in the second quarter, the keepers of both scorebooks said they had a different score. Later, the Lexington scorekeeper — who does a terrific job, and is not a typical teenage kid goofing off and texting while she's supposed to be keeping the book — said she figured out where the error occurred. Central's Chris Pompey was fouled while sticking in a follow shot, and there was a question at the scorer's table about who committed the foul. While Pompey was hitting his foul shot, an official was clarifying who committed the foul to both bookkeepers. They missed the free throw, therefore denying the Spartans a point.
Eventually, that point proved to be a big one. Lexington led fairly comfortably throughout the second half, until Central charged back in the final four minutes. Pompey scored on a baseline cut with 1:30 to play for what should have been the tying points, but instead, Central still trailed 67-66 on the board. Eventually, it all worked out. Jordan Lakey converted a three-point play, and Will Ramsey sank a pair of free throws to help the Spartans rally for a 72-68 victory. Well, it goes down as a 71-68 victory, but it was a victory nonetheless.
Unfortunately, this was not the first time this has happened this season. Far from it. I have seen several scoring errors so far, whether it's the board giving a player two points when he's hit a 3-pointer, letting the clock run after play has stopped, or any number of things. Heck, Randleman went through three different scoreboard operators the night West Davidson played the strangest night of basketball ever there earlier this month.
This situation at Central on Monday was an honest mistake. And the home book had the score wrong as well; it wasn't like the home book, which is the official score, was trying to cheat the visitors. In this case, the home book was cheating its own team. I'm just glad it didn't end up swinging the result of the game. We are all human, and we can all make mistakes.
But the West girls have an assistant coach on the bench keeping up with the game on an iPad; she has personal fouls, team fouls, and, of course, the score at her fingertips at all times. She never has to ask anybody at the scorer's table how many fouls a player has, how many timeouts the Dragons have, or what the score is. She has it right there. I would highly recommend every team start doing this. Another set of eyes on the action can only help.

(These signs were put up today in an effort to shuffle humans out of the way to make room for new auto parking plans)
In a surprise move today, the Santa Monica City Council has unveiled ambitious plans to turn the 3rd. Promenade, currently a pedestrian only space, into a car roadway with side street parking and new underground parking, along with other far reaching parking expansion initiatives. Bob Holbrook announced to business leaders of the Santa Monica Downtown District, and pro-socialized auto parking care editorialists for the Santa Monica Daily Press, that the council has heard their calls for more parking and cheaper parking downtown, loud and clear. To a rapt crowd of drivers and cars he announced:
For many years now the Third Street Promenade has stood out as an unusual public street space in the L.A. region due to it's lack of cars. People came far and wide to watch the unusual patterns of social interaction that happen outside the confines of the car, but alas, as the population of automobiles in the L.A. region has grown faster than human reproduction. There simply is too much demand for parking spaces, and not enough streets to drive on. To meet this growing demand, Santa Monica will pave the way for a future of more parking. At the center of this plan will be transforming Third Street into a real Street, one for car travel again, complete with side street parking. Center medians will be replaced with ramps leading to brand new subterranean parking network.
But we can do more. Existing parking garages will be double stacked, and city owned properties in the downtown area will become the site of brand new parking towers. Fitting within zoned height restrictions of course. In a landmark first for any city in America, we are going to convert bike lanes, which nobody uses anyways, into space for on street double parking. For double your pleasure! As the terminus of Route 66, and the I-10, it is only appropriate that Santa Monica become the car parking capitol of America, so even more automobiles can enjoy our wonderful beaches.
Most of the crowd at the press conference was ecstatic, particularly the cars in attendance, that they would have so many new places to park. A few skeptics in the crowd asked how this plan would be paid for. Subterranean parking construction can cost between $50,000 and $80,000 per parking space after all. However these questions remained unanswered as they were drowned out by the booing of the crowd that was disappointed anyone would dare question the value of more parking spaces.
Obviously this is dire news for those of us advocating for more livable and human oriented street spaces. It is quite a blow to see Santa Monica, a city that had been making some strides in human oriented city planning, give up and revert fully to it's automobile oriented ways. However we must not give up hope. It is quite likely in the near future peak oil production (or rather undulating plateau, Washington speak to make it sound less scary) will be upon us. Non OPEC-oil production has not exceeded the levels in 2004 in the years since. How deep the OPEC oil reserves goes is not entirely sure as it is widely believed they overstate their numbers. Automobile reproduction could be sent into a spiraling decline in the years ahead, and humans will rise once again to be the focus of city planning.

i've had to put down moby dick. i put off reading the copy i bought for 20 years. made a fist of it and just read 61 chapters - over half of it.
however i'm totally sickened by the slaughter of whales it describes. yes - it is within the context of an earlier age when hunting whale was incredibly dangerous for men - but even so it disgusts me. melville is entirely wrapped up in the perceived excitement, honour and majesty of the activity.
it's a thoroughly disgraceful bit of writing that deserves none of the respect (oh sacred american tome) accorded to it.

It should be inconceivable for the United States to default on its debt , Larry Summers told CNBC on Tuesday, stressing that the country's creditworthiness must not be held hostage by budgetary wrangling.
"It should be unthinkable to default on debt in the United States… after 200 years the thought that the full faith in credit of the U.S could be called into question is unthinkable," Laurence Summers, former treasury secretary, said.
Summers said the 2008 financial crisis offered a lesson in what happens when base safe assets are put at risk, and said the country should "never experiment" as it did back then.
"Everybody should be for meeting the debt obligations of the U.S. and then there needs to be a very vigorous an active discussion around what is a very real problem; the sustainability over the long term of the U.S.financial position which surely needs to be addressed in a balanced way with both measures on the expenditure side and measures on the revenue side,"Summers said.

That seems odd to me as well. It was like somebody wanted proof it came with his car, so he asked the dealer to write up a letter saying it was stolen on the train. I was not around in 69 I didn't know train robberies were so common back then, I thought that all ended back with Jesse James and all. SO there was a gang of guys reading window stickers that showed special options not bolted to the car, they knew to be in the trunk, so that they didn't have to check every car?
When a car with a special ordered paint color, such as this blue, did it get any special treatment when going through the paint shop?
Actually, when I was growing up back in the 80's.. er.. 70's.. well OK. 60's.. I DID hear stories about 4-speed transmissions being lifted from cars on freight trains, but I think a transmission would be a bit easier to thieve from a car on a train car, than an intake manifold.. Ever tried to remove your intake manifold without opening your hood?? Besides WE at CRG know that the factory DID NOT install cross ram manifolds; the dealer sold them OTC, and perhaps even installed them with appropriate warnings about voiding your new car warranty??
Just ran across a video of this car today. https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/reliving-motoring-s-golden-era-aboard-a-1969-chevrolet-camaro-z-28-and-its-all-new-successor-185126340.html

Pricing the Common Core: How Much Will Smart Implementation Cost States and Districts?
The Common Core is coming, with forty-five states and the District of Columbia challenged to implement these new standards. Yet mystery surrounds how much this will cost states (and districts)—and whether the payoff will justify the price.
On May 30, the Fordham Institute will peek behind that curtain with a lively panel discussion of "Pricing the Common Core." Taking part will be former Florida Education Commissioner Eric J. Smith, Achieve President Mike Cohen, former Department of Education official Ze'ev Wurman, and University of San Francisco professor Patrick J. Murphy, who will present the findings of a new Fordham study that he co-authored. It estimates the dollar cost of the implementation process for each participating state—and shows how the pricetag varies depending on the approach a state selects.

Calling all Animal Crazy Kids Grades 4-6!
Camp Fur, Fins & Feathers is a place where kids connect with animals. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for children to interact and learn about the animals that share our world. An enthusiastic staff of instructors and friendly animals give your child an enriching experience filled with hands-on animal encounters, fun activities, and crafts. As they have fun, campers learn respect, compassion, and how to provide a lifetime of care for animals.
Campers are grouped according to the grade they will enter in the fall: Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6 or Grades 7-9. Activities are age and developmentally appropriate. For those campers who want to attend multiple weeks of camp, we have a different theme each week, ensuring diverse experiences.
Our younger campers will learn about animal characteristics, behavior and proper pet care. Campers meet and pet bunnies, cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and more! As our campers get older, they will have more sophisticated learning opportunities including behind the scenes tours, more in-depth animal interactions, enriching games, and volunteer and career exploration.
Pre-Registration Frequently Asked Questions
Camp hours:
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Drop off will begin at 8:30 a.m. and pick up must be completed by 5:00 p.m. We are happy to annouce that Before and After Care is included in the price of the camp this year!)
What is the cost?
- If you would like to make a donation to our camp subsidy fund, you may include it with your registration. This fund provides a camp opportunity for children from lower income families.
- Cancellation Policy: Camp fees are non-refundable however fees may be transferable. Please contact the Humane Education Department if your child is registered in camp but unable to attend.
- Late Pick-Up: A late fee of $1/minute will be charged beginning 10 minutes after the end of camp or extended care. Any incurred fees are to be paid at the time of pick-up. If you are running late please phone (403) 205-4455 ext. 6544 to speak with one of our Humane Educators.
May my child attend more than one week of camp?
Yes! We have several different themes, so your child will always learn something new! Please note that some material or animal visits may be repeated over multiple weeks.
May my child attend if he or she has allergies?
If you're child's allergies are minor, controlled by medication and you've consulted your child's physician, please sign up! Children will be spending limited amounts of time in the animal areas in the shelter and as much time outside as weather permits. Please consult our full FAQ page for more info about peanuts and food allergies.
What is the best way to sign up for Camp Fur, Fins & Feathers?
- Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis online through Eventbrite. We cannot hold your child's space in a camp until we have received payment.
- Applicants who do not get into the camp of their choice can add their name to the waitlist. Applicants will then be contacted by e-mail if a spot on the waitlist becomes available. No money is processed until your child is registered in a camp.
- Once your registration is processed, a confirmation of enrollment will be e-mailed. Release forms, directions, and other pertinent information are included with confirmations.
Where does the program take place?
Camp takes place at the Calgary Humane Society – 4455 110 Ave SE
Parking information as well as drop off and pick up procedures will accompany confirmation of registration. We use both indoor classrooms and outdoor learning areas throughout our facility.
How is the camp organized?
- Class size is limited to 15 children.
- Each group is led by a specially trained educator and two assistants, providing a 5:1 ratio.
- Children are placed in groups based on their grade level.
- All children will need to bring a sack lunch as well as 2 light snacks and a bottle of water to camp each day.
- Children will be provided with the opportunity to eat a small snack or enjoy a drink at both mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If your child's medical condition requires them to eat or drink at certain times please alert our camp staff prior to your child's camp week.
- The Calgary Humane Society is NOT a peanut-free facility however we do request that parents avoid packing peanut products for the safety of all of our campers.
Will my child spend most of the day working directly with animals?
Everything we do at camp is aimed at teaching children about animal care, handling, and welfare. We strive to give our campers an opportunity to interact with several animals each day. However, we are an open-door animal shelter which cares for all animals including some that may be sick, injured, and sometimes aggressive. Our ability to have kids interact with animals relies entirely on the types of animals who are in residence during the camp season. Our two top priorities are to provide our campers with a safe experience and to prevent our resident animals from any undue stress. Some animals simply cannot handle the attention of fifteen children at a time and we endeavor to teach the children to respect the needs of each individual animal. That being said, when a gentle bunny, kid-loving dog, or playful bunch of kittens comes through the shelter, the camp kids are definitely given the opportunity to interact with them. In addition, activities like dog training and animal socializing with guest animal ambassadors are the highlight of the week for many of our campers.
Please note: Activities are age specific. Animal interaction is dependent upon animal health on a day-to-day basis.

Vibrant costumes and multicultural displays brightened an overcast Melbourne day as thousands turned out to celebrate what it means to be Australian.
Undeterred by the grey skies and cool temperatures, crowds lined Swanston Street and St Kilda Road to wave Australian flags and cheer a march of people from every corner of the globe.
Star Wars characters, ponies, charities, religious groups, cultural, dance and choir groups joined the parade, along with knitting, ukulele, skater and roller derby associations.
Sixty-year-old Clare Munro, from Pascoe Vale, said it was great to see the diversity that makes Australia great.
"That's what Australia is - a lot of different people with a lot of different cultures," she said.
Mina and Saba, representing the Australian Iranian Youth Society in traditional Persian dress, said they were happy to represent their heritage while celebrating Australia Day.
"I'm really grateful that Australia has given me this opportunity to come over here and study," said Mina.
"As much as I appreciate the chance I've been given, I also want to represent where I come from."
Premier Ted Baillieu said the parade showed multicultural Australia at its best.
"(Australia Day) means diversity; it means peace and prosperity and democracy and a commitment to a fair go but it's very much, certainly in Melbourne and Victoria and right across Australia, it's about diversity and multiculturalism and it's about opportunity," he said.
It was also a day to remember those spending their Australia Day fighting bushfires across the state, he said.
At a flag raising ceremony at Melbourne's Town Hall, Governor Alex Chernov said Australia was a richly diverse nation of community-spirited people prepared to help those in need.
This had been developed by the concept of mateship which arose from our need to fight common enemies, such as bushfires and floods.
"As the CFA, SES, Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and other volunteers fight terrible bushfires and deal with the aftermath (we are reminded) such volunteers are the effective backbone of our nation," Mr Chernov said.
More than 3800 people from 105 countries were welcomed as Australian citizens at 80 different ceremonies across the state.
A group of 17 people were to be welcomed as new citizens by federal Sports and Multicultural Affairs Minister Kate Lundy in a ceremony at the Australian Open tennis tournament, while the Melbourne Victory Football Club was hosting a citizenship ceremony for 54 new Aussies at AAMI Park.
Free events were being held across the city at Federation Square, Docklands, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the Kings Domain Gardens, where the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes performed an aerobatic display.
Melbourne will cap off its Australia Day celebrations with a fireworks display at 9.40pm (AEDT).
Possible rain is forecast for the city later on Saturday.

Renewable Energy: Make a Solar Cooker
This startling statistic, when combined with the fact that we receive 10-15,000 times more solar energy on the Earth than we use, opens up amazing possibilities for the use of the sun's energy to meet out needs.
Today, fuel wood accounts for almost a fifth of the world's primary energy consumption. Each year about 2 billion tonnes of wood are burnt mainly for cooking purposes. Yet, today, we are facing a crisis with our fast diminishing forest cover and a fuel wood shortage for more than 2 billion people around the world.
Why Solar Cooking?
Apart from the obvious advantages of time and money saved, solar cooking produces no smoke, and thus no pollution. It does not release greenhouse gases like burning of other types of fuel does.
It cooks healthy food with minimal oil. It eliminates risks like fire and burns. Best of all, it uses a renewable energy source that can be freely harnessed by almost anyone using basic equipment.
It also has the potential to create a new industry with jobs for local communities.
A Simple Solar Oven
You can make a solar cooker quite easily at home or school. This one will work in any season as long as the sun is out.
You need: Two Styrofoam cups, 30 x 30 cm aluminium foil, piece of construction paper, glue, black poster paint, elastic band, plastic cling wrap, and a big chunk of Styrofoam or a cardboard box packed with dirt to insulate the cooker.
- Paint the inside of one of the Styrofoam cups with black poster paint. This will be the cooking chamber, and the black paint will absorb sunlight and cause it to warm up. Add the food to the bottom of the cup. Chop it into small pieces. Vegetables and fruit work best. Don't attempt to cook meat in the solar cooker.
- Cover the cup with cling wrap, and pull it tight; hold it in place with an elastic band around the rim of the cup.
- Use the aluminium foil to collect sunlight. In order to stiffen it, tape or glue it to a piece of construction paper. Make sure the shiny side is up, and try to avoid getting any wrinkles in it. Then wrap it around your cup, so that the foil faces inwards, and fasten with tape. Trim the top edge.
- Put this inside a second cup, to hold the tube securely in place, and to provide a little more insulation for your oven.
- Now put your 'oven' into an insulator-you could use a Styrofoam chunk with a hole cut out the size of the cup or a box filled with dirt. The idea is to use something that will keep the heat in. You could also bury it in the ground if the weather is not cold. Make sure the collector foil is unwrinkled and pointing at the sun.
