About kisom
"The big problem with them, is that there marketers are not putting anything useful behind them yet. If they start putting coupons behind them there could be more incentive to scan them, but as it is now, you will usually just be taken to there website."
I have a perfect example to illustrate your comment. I was in a big box store looking at appliances. I had a couple of questions and after searching in vain for an employee to help, I thought I would try out the QR on the product tag.
Searched for an app. Check. Download app. Ok done. Scan code.. and voilŕ! Took me straight to the company generic marketing site. Nothing specific about the product I wanted to learn about.
Delete useless app and curse all parties involved for wasting my time. Double check.
I'm going to put aside the perception of Amazon or iTunes being just a "download service," because many have already pointed out how untrue that is.
What I don't get is why are musicians even bothering with retail anymore? I'll admit I don't know much about the industry, but I rarely see consumers at the big box retailers thumbing through music. In fact, our Best Busy has drastically reduced the music foot print in several of our area stores.
If musicians did not sell their music at physical stores, wouldn't that be a huge savings? The artists wouldn't pay for packaging/manufacturing, retail profit, distribution and whatever else is associated with having a physical CD. Of course there is still the costs of marketing and production, but I would think you could decrease your costs by concentrating on one medium.
And if a musician decides to sell on though digital means, what is the importance of a label beyond being an investor? Is the current function and influence of traditional labels even relative anymore? Couldn't a new group of investors accomplish the same?
If the industry feels percentages are too high.. partner with someone who you feel is reasonable or do what every other retail product does and factor that into the final costs.
Why do these David Lowery types keep using the term "new model'? Did they have amnesia for the past decade? Were they abducted by aliens?
Someone needs to catch-up these poor guys. I'll start.
It's called the "internet." On this newfangled "internet" you can sell your own service and/or products which is called "ecomerce." You can go with a company that already has a online "store" like iTunes or you can hire a professional to "develop" your own "store." These "store" allow people all over the world to buy your service and/or products! Wait.. there's more.. if you make the most out of this "internet", you might even be recognized by "search engines" like "Google" for your efforts!!
What's more, if you do not want to participate in this newfangled technology.. you don't have to!! That's right.. there are still a ton of people out there who are more than happy to take advantage of your refusal to join us in 2012.
I just finished listening to Hackford's nutty rant and I've had it. Congratulations Hackford, you've put me over the edge enough to sign-up and post a comment directed at you and all of the Chris Dodd/US Representative types.
First off, I'm not an "engineer." What I am is smart enough to ask questions and wrap my brain around the answers. Not to mention capable of researching and finding all angles of a story.
I'm insulted by the repeated insinuation of the film and movie industry that I couldn't possible come up with a conclusion all on my own. You want to know what part Google plays in all of this? Google allowed me to conduct my research. Google didn't suppress either side nor completely block my access to information.
Do you want to know what the biggest shocker you'll learn about me? I am not into piracy. Yep.. that's right.. I don't want your crappy music or movies for free. You want to know what else I don't do? Regularly purchase movies/music or go watch movies. That's right, I haven't purchased music in the last five years and last year I attended the movies once. It's obvious that the industry doesn't care, but I'm just going to go ahead and say what I want. A theater experience where I don't feel like my family was robbed in broad daylight. Entertainment that is portable. Ability to actually own what I purchase. Entertainment that is flexible enough that I'm not trying out some Houdini tech move just because I got a wild hair to listen to music on my iPod while I work out.
Lastly, and more importantly, I do not want you Director Guild/MPAA/RIAA types to have the authority to randomly suppress internet content or my voice. Once you start shutting down sites deemed "rogue" where does it stop? Prosecute people who access "rogue" sites? Let's be honest with ourselves. There are already a chocking number of copyright laws on the books. The industry didn't need bills like SOPA or PIPA. The industry already has enough control.. just not ultimate control.

New Phil Roy Oswalt lays an egg as he gets creamed by the Nats as the Phils drop the series opener, 8-1.
Nerves, trying to impress his new teammates, lack of control and the Nats' bats ruin Roy Oswalt Phil debut as the Phils' eight game winning streak ends in a 8-1 lost to the Nats.
The Nats took the lead in the first as, with a runner on third, and with nobody out, Adam Kennedy hits an RBI ground out, 4-3, scoring Nyjer Morgan, who had started the game for the Nats with a lead-off triple, giving the Nats a 1-0 lead. The Nats increased their lead in the third as, with two men on, and with nobody out, Carlos Ruiz fielded Kennedy's bunt attempt in front of the mound, and threw to third to try and force at third Nat's starter Craig Stammen, who had earlier singled, and had moved up to second on Morgan's walk, except no one was covering third, as Jimmy Rollins did not head over to third on the play, thus the ball went into left field, allowing Stammen to score, making it 2-0 Nats, while Morgan, who had just walked, would move up to third on the error, while Kennedy would be safe at first with a single. The Nats then made it a 3-0 lead as, with runners on the corners, and with still nobody out, Ryan Zimmerman hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Morgan. The Nats then added to their lead in the fifth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Josh Willingham hits a two-run double, scoring Kennedy, who had earlier doubled, and Adam Dunn, who had just been hit by the pitch, giving the Nats a 5-0 lead, while Willingham would move up to third on the throw to the plate. The Phils finally got on the board in the seventh as Jayson Werth hits a lead-off home run, his fifteenth home run of the year, making it a 5-1 Nats' lead. The Nats got the run back as, with the bases loaded, via singles to Kennedy and Zimmerman, and a walk to Willingham, moving up a base both Kennedy and Zimmerman, and with one man out, Roger Bernadina hits a two-run double, scoring both Kennedy and Zimmerman, giving the Nats a 7-1 lead, while sending Willingham on to third. After the bases are reloaded via an intentional walk to Ivan Rodriguez, and with still one man out, Ian Desmond hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Willingham, making it an 8-1 Nats' lead. That would be the final score as Collin Balester ended the game by getting Ruiz to ground out, 6-3.
Roy Oswalt, in his debut as a Phil, took the lost, as he pitches six innings, giving up five runs, four of which were earned, on seven runs and two walks, while striking out four. His overall record is now 6-13 (0-1) with a 3.53 ERA. Chad Durbin pitches an inning, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks, while striking out one. David Herndon pitches a scoreless inning, giving up just a hit. Craig Stammen got the win as he pitches six and a third innings, giving up just one run on five hits and a walk, while striking out five. Tyler Clippard pitches an inning and a third, giving up just a walk, while striking out two. Collin Balester threw a scoreless inning, giving up just a hit, while striking out a batter.
The Phils had just six hits in the game, with Raul Ibanez, Jayson Werth and Dom Brown getting two hits each. Ibanez and Brown's two hits were singles, while Werth's hits were a single and a solo home run. The Phils' offense was kept down by Stammen, hoping that they will get back to hitting tonight.
The Phils (56-47, 2nd) continue their series with the Nats (45-58, 5th) with a night game tonight. The game will be played at Nationals Park and will start at 7:05 pm. The Phils' starter will be Joe Blanton (4-6, 5.85), who is coming off a win against the Rockies on July 26, as he pitched six innings, giving up just two runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out two, in the Phils' 5-4 win. In his last three starts, his record is 1-1 with a no-decision, as he pitched twenty innings, giving up ten runs, eight of which were earned, on eighteen hits and seven saves, while striking out thirteen. He will be hoping to use his last start as a springboard for the rest of the second half. The Nats will send to the mound Ross Detwiler (0-1, 0.00), who is coming off a lost against the Brewers on July 26, as he went just three and two-thirds innings, giving up five unearned runs on three hits and three walks, while striking out four, in the Nats' 8-3 lost. He will be trying for his first career win against the Phils. The offense will be trying to get back to what they were doing on their recent home stand to even up the series.

Hello All,
This year at Black Hat Las vegas, I will be hosting a 1 day training course on the most popular web app hacking technique 'SQL Injection'.
video preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pg-lRv8XTQ
Here is the abstract of the course:
"This is a full day hands on training course which will typically target penetration testers, security auditors/administrators and web developers to learn advanced exploitation techniques. SQL Injection, although now nearly 15 years old, still exists in over 30% of the web applications. This vulnerability could typically result in 3 scenarios:
Authentication Bypass
Extraction of arbitrary sensitive data from the database
Access and compromise of the internal network.
This training will target 3 databases:
and discuss a variety of exploitation techniques to exploit each scenario. The aim of the training course is to address the following:
Understand the problem of SQL Injection
Learn a variety of advanced exploitation techniques which hackers use
Learn how to fix the problem
Identify, extract, escalate, execute; we have got it all covered.
More details can be found here:
There are a few seats still left and the course will sell-out very soon. If you require more details feel free to contact me at sid-at-notsosecure-dot-com

Fit 33s On An XJ Cherokee With 2 Inches Of LiftPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on October 1, 2010
We are all familiar with the benefits that the Unitbody Jeep wagons have over their short-wheelbase siblings: longer wheelbase, better ride, securely locking cargo area, and nearly-dry interiors-to name but a few.
We like the benefits so much we often ignore one of the big shortcomings: Small wheelwell openings require more lift to fit the same-size tire as the short wheelbase siblings. Up until now, we've just lived with it, or half-assed flares onto the Jeeps to keep mudslinging to a minimum.
Enter Iceland Offroad: The company has been building fiberglass bumpers and cut-out fender flares for ZJs and WJs for the past 4 years. At the 2010 Easter Jeep Safari the company introduced its cut-out flares for the Jeep Cherokee, which the company claimed would allow a 35-inch tire on only 4.5 inches of lift (a 2-inch reduction from normal).
Not only do the flares allow the Cherokee owner to open up the fenderwells, they look better than any other cut-out fender flare on the market, and they look way better than hacked-in TJ flares (ours included). Like all of the Iceland Offroad products, these flares complement the design of the Jeep and look like they could have been a factory offering.
We have been doing everything we can to keep our '98 Cherokee low, and we were never really happy with the rear TJ flares we tacked onto it. We were running 30-inch tires with 2-inches of lift, and we had tried 31s, but they rubbed the pinch seam in the rear and inner fender in the front. Sure, we could have cut further, but we aren't huge fans of the no-flare look and a black XJ with no flares is going to look horrible all the time.
After contacting the company and asking if 33s would fit with 2-inches of lift-their response was "They should,"-we wasted no time in ordering a set for our four-door '98. We wanted to see how hard the install was and if it was really possible to fit 33s on an XJ with minimal lift and have it look good when it was all done. So without further ado, here's how the flares actually install and how they look with our chosen tire size.

Reddit, Digg, Fark, Slashdot, TechCrunch & Others Sued Over Ridiculous 'Online Press Release' Patent
from the like-that-will-work dept
Apparently whoever is behind Gooseberry got tired of simply trying to demand cash from mom-and-pop press release services, and has now decided to sue a bunch of online services, Digg, Reddit, Fark, TechCrunch, and others. What do any of those companies have to do with generating press releases online? You've got me. Of course, some of those sites are pretty good at teaming up and doing good deeds. So, perhaps the Reddit crew might be able to figure out who really holds this patent?
The whole thing looks pretty ridiculous. For example, this is the section on how it claims Reddit violates the patent:
Plaintiff is informed and believes that Advance owns, operates, advertises, controls, sells, and otherwise provides hardware, software and websites for "news and press release services" including via the reddit.com website ("the Advance system", available at www.reddit.com). Upon information and belief, Advance has infringed and continues to infringe one or more claims of the '535 patent by making, using, providing, offering to sell, and selling (directly or through intermediaries), in this district and elsewhere in the United States, systems and methods for entering and providing structured news and press releases. More particularly, Plaintiff is informed and believes that Advance has and/or require and/or directs users to access and/or interact with a system that receives and stores separately specified portions of a new or press release and that assembles a news or press release in a predetermined format.This is basically the same basic language used against all the sites sued. It's basically a ridiculous attack on lots of well-known tech blogs and news aggregator sites, claiming they somehow infringe on this ridiculous patent. I find it especially amusing that they've included Slashdot in this attack, seeing as Slashdot's system (which really hasn't changed that much over the years) predates the patent filing by a few years. Seems like the prior art on this one is likely to be pretty strong. Of course, fighting a patent infringement lawsuit, no matter how bogus, can be quite expensive. Hopefully these sites are willing to team up and pool resources. Thankfully, most of the sites involved are owned by much larger companies who can (and hopefully will) fight this.

Zac Efron Addresses 'Condom on the Red Carpet-Gate'
Rubbergate has been solved. During an interview with Matt Lauer, Zac Efron sheepishly confessed to dropping a condom as he walked the red carpet for his upcoming kids movie 'Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.'
A video of the 24 -year-old unleashing what appeared to be a condom as he pulled his hand out of his pocket circulated the internet least week. Since the video was fairly grainy, there was much speculation on whether or not it was actually a rubber.
While Efron declined to take Lauer through exactly what happened, he did have this to say:
I never really had a pocket-checking policy prior to going on the red carpet before, but now we fully instated one."
Now that the condom is officially out of the pocket, so to speak, Efron tried to put a positive spin the incident, explaining that safe sex is "a great message to add to the many messages of [the film]."
Hmm, since we don't think condoms are remotely biodegradable, we're thinking The Lorax probably has some mixed feelings about that.

Laura Mercier Spring 08 Seduction Collection
Laura Mercier's Spring Collection Seduces
Laura Mercier's Spring Collection Seduces
No, this isn't the Prescriptives Fall '07 Seducers Collection, but this new Spring 2008 Seduction Collection from Laura Mercier similarly includes edgy and dark-purple eyes and nails.
I've yet to see any product live, but I can already tell from looking at the Eye Colour Quads in Shy and Wild Violette, that this is really going to make my green eyes pop.
And as if that's not enough, if you've been searching for the perfect set of flirty false eyelashes, you can now find three new sets for all occasions. Also included is a new eau de toilette called Violette — how fitting!
Seduced yet? To find out more about each of the products,
- Eye Colour Quad in Wild Violette and Shy Violet ($38) is a shadow palette that contains four shades of pretty purples. Wear each color alone or blend them together.
- Brilliant Eye Liner ($22) is a modern, fluid, pearlescent, and long-lasting liquid eye liner that is available in four shades: Cobalt, Golden, Onyx, and Violette.
- Fine Point Eye Liner Brush ($24) is a narrow, exact, pointed brush made of synthetic fiber. It has been created especially to be used with the Brilliant Eye liner.
- Lip Colour — Creme ($22) is an creamy lipstick that contains antioxidants and plumping ingredients to create the appearance of younger and fuller lips. The two new colors that have been unveiled in Seduction are Mistress and Passion.
- Lip Colour — Shimmer ($22) has introduced new shades of the classic moisturizing lipstick in Pixie, Plum Wine, and Seduction. These medium-coverage lipsticks contain Vitamins A and E to soothe lips, along with a hint of shimmer.
- Center Faux Eyelashes ($18) are a set of lashes that can be used anywhere from three to five times. This style is delicate and feminine and just creates the illusion of an open, wide eye.
- Corner Faux Eyelashes ($18) are fun and easy ways to add drama to any look. You can create a cat eye (a very sexy look) just by applying the band on the outer corners of each eye — fun!
- Full Faux Eyelashes ($18) are the most dramatic set of lashes available in the collection. Place them over your entire lash line for more volume and length all over.
- Nail Lacquer in Daring and Avant Garde ($18) are two new bold colors for Spring. These high-shine formulas claim to be fast drying.
- Laura Mercier Violette Eau de Toilette is a soft fragrance inspired by the delicate violet flower. Made from violets, black currant, mimosa, peony, vetiver, musk, and raspberry, this sounds like a fabulous burst of Spring in a bottle!

Looking to sell my totem brown Zulu and quad shocks. The bag itself has been used for 2-3 rounds of golf and probably 4 field practice days. I've decided that the bag is probably a little more then I need for a round of golf and a little expensive for a storage bag.

My first attempt at an under quilt
My first attempt at an under quilt
Isn't there missing somthing?
My first DIY hammock and underquilt made for my girlfriend.
Overly large stuff sack I made for the poly fill quilt. She doesn't hike so weight isn't an issue. I'm working on it
Hammock side of the quilt with sheer curtains I got from Wally World for like 4 bucks cut up for baffles.
Are you thinking ón making a ; how to.
Idk I could try. I just measured my girlfriend and guesstimated and kind of proceeded to wing it turned out better than I thought it would. Got most of my ideas off the red river quilt how to. And converted it to a sliding shock cord suspension for adjustability.
Here is her setup strung next to my wbbb
Im here because the title Hamping was too intriguing to pass up
"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many." - Unknown
Looks very nice, congratulations! Very creative on the wally curtains!

Connected, IoT-related devices are becoming more powerful, more plentiful and are generating unprecedented volumes of data. This explosion of connected devices and data is getting businesses excited in all sectors. But, it's important to ensure that the blistering development of technology does not serve to obscure the real prize—the truly transformational opportunities that the IoT offers. And those opportunities can only be harnessed with effectively trained AI and analytics to make sense of the growing volumes of data, so it can be used to "sense, comprehend and act."
AI ranges from robotic process automation (RPA) to chatbots and virtual assistants, and from 24/7 monitoring to biometric identity or edge devices with fully autonomous decision-making capabilities.
AI training is just as important as algorithmic or procedural coding is for traditional systems. Today, that remains an industry-wide challenge. In short, AI training has to improve significantly if the business benefits that the IoT offers are to be realized.
The right type and duration of training is critical. It's important to balance a pragmatic approach, which has human intervention and participation at the fore, with the ability of AI to train itself.

My first Canadian loaves
I've always admired immigrants, folks who, for love or opportunity, pull up their roots and start over. This summer we've been going through what has to be the easiest immigration process possible -- same language, same geographic region, very similar culture, no questions of about citizenship or difficulty finding employment -- and still... it has been a tremendous amount of work. I can't even imagine how much work it must be when the obstacles are larger or the circumstances less fortunate. My respect and admiration for anyone who has gone through it has been redoubled.
Now we are here in Vancouver, largely settled in. As of today my kids and I are on the Provincial health plan. My wife's papers have been approved too, so she is legitimately residing with us and no longer "visiting." All has gone as well as one could possible wish for and we are loving it here.
And I'm finally finding a little time to bake. Well, only once, so far, but it is a start.
Baking in a new kitchen is always a challenge. As is using a new oven that isn't mine with a glass door. No more tossing ice cubes in willy nilly and not worrying about the damage I do. But I brought my baking stone and picked up an aluminum roasting pan to invert over it to create a little steam, so we'll see how it goes.
I spotted this flour blend at the grocery store and decided to give it a try.
I was extremely imprecise on this one, just trying to get back in the saddle rather take accurate measure. My formula was roughly:
1 cup AP flour
1 pinch instant yeast
1 cup water
I left that out covered on the counter overnight and then mixed it into
2 cups Robin Hood bread blend
1 cup AP flour
1 cup water
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
Mixed with my standmixer for 5 minutes, let rise on the counter top for an hour, folded and put in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
About an hour before baking, I removed it from the fridge, divided it, and shaped a couple of loaves. I rolled them in sesame seeds before placing them on a pan since I forgot to pick up parchment paper and the last thing I wanted was to have them stick to the pan and ruin everything.
They rose for about an hour, then were baked at 465 for 10 minutes with the aluminum cover, then 425 for another 15 minutes after I removed the lid.
I can't say they were the best loaves I've ever made, but I certain consider them a success and a great starting point!

Leadership PACs
Politicians collect money for their own campaigns — we all know that. But many of them also raise a separate pot of money, commonly called a leadership political action committee, to help other politicians. By making donations to members of their party, ambitious lawmakers can use their leadership PACs to gain clout among their colleagues and boost their bids for leadership posts or committee chairmanships. Politicians also use leadership PACs to lay the groundwork for their own campaigns for higher office. And some use their PACs to hire additional staff—sometimes even their family members—and to travel around the country or eat in some of Washington's finest restaurants. The limits on how a politician can spend leadership PAC money are not especially strict.

An excerpt from John Main, "Make Nothing Happen," WORD MADE FLESH (London: Canterbury, 1993), pp. 20-21.
Religion is meaningless if it is confined to external and ritual acts of worship. Liturgy and ritual only have meaning when they are inspired by conversion of heart.
This is what we are turning to as we learn to be still. In stillness an awareness matures that God has revealed himself to humanity in Jesus and that Jesus reveals himself to us, in our heart, by his Spirit which he has sent to dwell within us. Our life, no less than liturgy, finds meaning when we are as fully open as we can be to this Spirit.
Looked at from the outside, meditation can be thought of as a static condition, one in which you had closed down the doors of perception. But from actual experience meditation is known to be far from a static state and is far better understood as a dynamic awakening to the fullness of our own potential for growth. The expansion of our spirit in the love of Jesus is this fullness. Simplicity, childlike trust and wonder are the ways to realize it. We are not looking for anything to happen, for any insights or wisdom. We are not analyzing any superficial or external phenomena. All this is trivia compared with the knowledge of the Spirit dwelling within us that arises when we turn our minds aside from what is temporal and passing and instead open our hearts to what is enduring: God and God's love for each of us. [. . . .]
It is nothing less than essential to meditate every day. Meditation is to the spirit what food and air are to the body. We must come to peacefulness, serenity and our capacity for true vision if we are to live in the light of God. Again and again the Gospel tells us that that light shines in our hearts. So we need only to be open to it in humility and love.
After meditation: from Willigis Jager, SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE: Essays and Reflections on the Mystical Experience (Liguori, MO: Triumph Books, 1995), p. 75.
Religion may be compared to a glass window. It remains dark unless it is lit from behind. The light itself is not visible, but in the window of religion it takes on a structure and becomes comprehensible to everyone. Although religion often tends to bind its followers to the structures of the window, the ultimate thing is not the window but the light that shines behind it. Only those who see the light of God behind all the structures can realize the meaning and goal of religion.

Fast Ethernet Smart Managed Switches
DES‑1100 Series
- Estado del producto: Activo
The DES-1100 Series Fast Ethernet Smart Managed Switch features a full set of configurable functions that provide strong performance and scalability. With an easy-to-use management interface accessible via a PC utility or web browser, the DES-1100 Series helps customers to quickly and easily deploy their network.
Lista de puntos de venta
The DES-1100 Series Fast Ethernet Smart Switches consists of:
- DES-1100-16 16-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch (fanless)
- DES-1100-24 24-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch (fanless)
The DES-1100 Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Series features a full set of configurable functions that provide strong performance and scalability. The Fast Ethernet Smart switches include the DES-1100-16, which has 16 10/100 Mbps ports, and the DES-1100-24, with 24 10/100 Mbps ports. With an easy-to-use management interface accessible via a PC utility or web browser, the DES-1100 Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Series helps customers to quickly and easily deploy their network. The DES-1100 Series provides a complete and affordable solution for small and medium businesses, and for communities without IT staff. They are suitable for Enterprise deployment, such as in branch offices and meeting rooms that require simple management.
Switch management can be performed through a web management interface or through the SmartConsole Utility. The DES-1100 Series also supports Layer 2 features such as port mirroring, statistics, and IGMP snooping to optimize performance for multicast applications. All models are fanless and enclosed in a metal case.
Power Saving Performance
The Fast Ethernet Smart Switch Series offers best-in-class power savings compared to other models. The DES-1100-16 saves 27.32% more energy, and the DES-1100-24 saves 10.7% more energy than a conventional D-Link unmanaged switch. This gives you an energy-efficient switch that costs less to operate. Additionally, this allows Fast Ethernet Smart Switches to run cooler, run silent, and have a longer lifespan.
Resilience/Performance Enhancement
Equipped with a complete line up of L2 features, these switches include IGMP snooping and port mirroring. Network maintenance features include loopback detection, which is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shuts down the affected port. The DES-1100 Series also supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) - a mechanism that allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to two queues.
Traffic & Security Features
The DES-1100 series supports 802.1Q VLAN and Port-based VLAN, for traffic segregation. The bandwidth control feature allows network administrators to define the throughput levels for each port in order to manage bandwidth. It also provides fine granularity to define the ingress/egress traffic limits down to 512 kbps segments. Storm control enables the detection of when broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic hits the definable threshold. The switch will start blocking or discarding packets which could otherwise flood the network. The blocked port will be activated only when the broadcast or multicast traffic falls below the defined threshold. Port mirroring helps administrators facilitate traffic diagnostics or track switch performance, and make alterations when necessary.
Versatile Management
Fast Ethernet Smart Switches support an intuitive SmartConsole utility and a web-based management interface that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole easily allows customers to discover multiple D-Link Fast Ethernet Smart Switches within the same L2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC, and this also makes initial setup of the Smart Switches quick and easy. Switches within the same L2 network segment that are connected to the user's local PC are displayed on screen for instant access. This allows for device discovery and configuration of basic switch settings such as password changes.

Fall River Spirit Editor
As he leaned against a piece of machinery, sipping coffee and smiling, Eddie Abdow Jr. showed no outward wear from what had been one of the most emotional weeks of his life.
He was about to close the 59-year-old Fall River family business, Frosty Beverage Co., on his own terms after careful thought and weeks of preparation. But with the equipment turned off for good and the last soda shipments nearly gone, the gravity of his decision was catching up to him.
"I feel like I'm at my own wake," he said.
Since announcing several days ago the closure of the Quarry Street facility, Abdow has been inundated with questions, well wishes and media inquiries from as far away as Boston.
"It's been crazy," he said. "The one thing that keeps coming to me is that expression, 'You're more popular in death than you are in life.' I keep getting messages on the answering machine, requests for interviews, messages from people on Facebook saying, 'Eddie, don't do this.' It's really, really overwhelming."
While he will be sad to see his business end, Abdow, 49, said he is content with the decision he made about a month ago. He said he wants to spend more time with his family, including his 15-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. The demands of his aging business in recent years have made family time a rare treat, especially because Abdow has another full-time job teaching eighth-grade science at Henry Lord Middle School.
"Of course there is sadness with this because people define me this way," Abdow said, gesturing at the machines and bottle cases in his factory Saturday morning. "I could teach until I'm 65 and I'll always be the Soda Man. My friends will always call me Frosty. That's what defines me because it was a big chapter of my life. Now it's time to write a new chapter."
Abdow said expensive machinery repairs and rising production costs factored into the decision, adding that he would never want to see the business be forced to close because of a lack of sales or for other reasons beyond his control.
"This is more like a retirement than anything else," he said. "I love the soda business and I love teaching, but I'm not a kid anymore and those cases are heavy."
Abdow was born into the family business, which has roots in the 1940s under the watch of his grandfather, Azar Abdow. He grew up learning the soda-making process alongside his father, 85-year-old Eddie Abdow Sr., who transferred the business to his son in 1984.
Since announcing the news to his friends on Facebook New Year's Eve, Abdow said supportive messages have been pouring in from Fall River residents who also grew up with the company, gulping its beverages in their youth. Frosty not only bottled its own soda, but delivered it to customers' doorsteps as well.
Fall River once was home to 13 soda bottlers. Frosty was the last one.
Saturday morning, a woman parked her car on Quarry Street and walked into the factory just to give Abdow a hug and wish him the best. Others have been stopping by to grab one last bottle of soda. Abdow has been fielding phone calls from people interested in purchasing the equipment, which includes a 9-ton bottle washer.
"At first I wondered who was going to want this stuff," Abdow said. "Now I've got to find the right person for the machines."
He said he plans to lease the building, which is in need of repair. The business sign, which reads 'Soda like it used to be,' remains affixed to the front.
Abdow said his father and longtime coworker understands his decision — and his desire to focus on his other job in the classroom.
"The day I got my diploma for my master's degree, I knew where my father was in the audience and I saw him, this 80-something guy, with tears streaming down his face. I think — I know — he's proud I went back to school to become a teacher."
With Frosty no longer around to let new generations discover the taste of locally made soda, perhaps the classroom is the best place for Abdow to work. He said he would continue incorporating the beverages he made for so long into how-it's-made science lessons.
"I know it's a sad thing because Frosty has been around a long time and is a huge part of Fall River, but this is my choice," Abdow said as friends swept the factory floor around him. "I don't want anybody to feel bad for me."

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the White House
Not a creature was working, not even his spouse;
No stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
because Michelle and the kids were in Hawaii spending 7 million there;
The Obama voters were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of free cell phones danced in their heads;
And mamma with her free healthcare, and unemployment benefits with no cap,
Had just settled down for a free winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the mail box I flew like a flash,
Tore open the mail and got my free cash.
The welfare check hadn't got wet in the snow
Obama was still passing out free dough,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a sign I must not work, at all of next year,
With a Socialist driver, so conniving and quick,
I knew in a moment he was their Saint Nick.
More taxes for the working and spending pretty much insane,
and he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Daschle! Now, Boxer! Now, Franken and Reid!
On, Pelosi! On Feinstein! On, Baucus and Biden!
over the debt ceiling! No spending fire wall!
Now tax away! Tax away! Tax away all!"

stud finder
First Alexa, then this dude...I still want to DIY myself a version of this Phillip Lim button up. I actually ordered myself a bunch of conical studs a few months ago in an uncharacteristic fit of motivation, only to find they were too large and looked way too much like rows of silver nipples. Anyways, I think maybe I'm feelin' gold a little more now, à la these gloves?

She made up this crazy story about a bet with home work and my cock. I told her if I showed my cock she had to suck and fuck it. Once she saw my cock she was good to go. She had the nicest plump ass a girl could have. The rest of her curves could only belong to a young eighteen year old. I did things to her that will change her sex life forever.

Fullsize Invasion at the 2012 Easter Jeep SafariPosted in Events on September 1, 2012
Every year we go to Moab for the annual Easter Jeep Safari (or EJS, as we like to call it). Despite the name, the "Jeep" Safari has been a gathering of wheelers of every shape and size for decades.
Sure it is mostly Jeeps, but we have found feature trucks in Moab like Mopar's Ram Runner (on the cover of our August '10 issue) and Rob Knoell's Ram Charger (on the cover of our December '11 issue). In the last few years, we have noticed a marked decline in fullsize vehicles attending EJS. In fact, we have noticed less Jeeps too…unless those Jeeps are new four door JKs. For better or worse, the JK has taken over Easter Jeep Safari. We can see why they are so popular: They are almost as long and wide as a fullsize truck (and as heavy)! But if you are going to wheel something that big, shouldn't it have a V-8 under the hood and some heavy-duty running gear?
OFF-ROAD Editor Jerrod Jones and John Cappa of Four Wheeler wanted some diversity at EJS. And so the Fullsize Invasion was born.
Running a magazine gives you certain perks that the average guy doesn't have. We aren't referring to the booth babes or getting access to cutting-edge products before they hit the market (well… at least we aren't referring to those right now). We are talking about having a voice to create and promote our own event. We started putting announcements in the magazine and on www.off-roadweb.com to drum up some interest in the month prior to Easter.
As the momentum began to build and more and more people started committing, we realized we would need some help to pull this off. Stephen Watson of Off Road Design was the natural choice. Off Road Design makes all sorts of parts for fullsize trucks, including transfer case adapters, suspension, steering components, and solid axle swaps—no one is more committed to fullsize trucks than Watson. He also lives relatively close to Moab in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and knows all of the red rock trails like the back of his hand.
He gladly offered to serve as trail leader on Poison Spyder Mesa—our chosen trail for the inaugural Fullsize Invasion. Poison Spyder Mesa was chosen for several reasons: It is close to town, there are bypasses around many of the more challenging obstacles (for newbies only, of course), and there is even some sand to play in as well.
A healthy crowd showed up on Wednesday morning at our meeting point. There were representatives from two magazines, several prominent manufacturers like BDS Suspension and Mickey Thompson tires, and readers with Fords, Chevys, Dodges, and more. The vehicles ran the gamut from full-on show trucks to budget beaters, with some daily drivers and even a 4WD IFS 12-passenger van thrown in the mix. They were all treated with OFF-ROAD and Four Wheeler stickers and our coveted license plates.
We even let a few Jeeps and downsized vehicles join our Invasion, but not without some good-natured hazing on the trail. We had any non-fullsizers wear SCUBA masks and "off-road" snorkels.
The group of 20 vehicles convoyed to the Poison Spyder Mesa trailhead to air down and get started. Conventional thinking tells us that for every additional vehicle a trail run will take twice as long, so we were expecting a long day. Surprisingly we had very few problems, as the long wheelbases and wide track widths of our group made many of the climbs like The Waterfall and Prelaunch Pad relatively easy compared to short wheelbase Jeeps. We have run this trail in the past in a Jeep Wrangler TJ and it can be downright scary when making some of these climbs, since all you see is sky. Add two feet of wheelbase and remove the worry about breaking a Dana 35 rear axle and all of a sudden Poison Spyder Mesa becomes an enjoyable experience.
Former OFF-ROAD publisher Jeff Dahlin did have some fuel-delivery issues early in the day in his project Bronco. So, Mel Wade from Off Road Evolution took one for the team, escorting Dahlin's Bronco back to town and missing the trail ride. What a guy! But the rest of us finished the trail with no issue we couldn't handle. One of the perks of traveling with a group of fullsize vehicles is that everyone has plenty of room for tools, spare parts, camping gear, lunch, and more. Even though most did not know each other, everyone was willing to lend a hand whether it was spotting on the trail, offering a bottle of water, or tugging a stuck vehicle. With nearly all of the rigs packing V-8s or diesels under the hood if you did need a tug it wasn't a problem.
Mark your calendars, because we will be back in Moab next year running more trails with Off Road Design and other fullsizes. If there is enough interest from you, we'll plan trail rides on more than one day. So, bring your fullsize to Easter Jeep Safari 2013. You never know, you might even end up in these very pages a year from now!

Few things attract our attention more than the face of another human.
Familiar and mysterious at the same time, it's a perennial subject in art, spawning more images over the centuries than any other subject.
With the invention of photography in the late 1830s, the popularity and accessibility of the portrait grew still more, and Americans — in particular — embraced this brand new way of capturing the human face early on.
No other nation adopted photography so quickly and completely, in fact, or extended its reach so broadly across the social spectrum that — within a very short time — virtually everyone who wanted to could have their picture taken.
Our peculiarly democratic love affair with the camera makes up only part of the charm, however, found in the Chrysler Museum of Art's newest photography exhibit. Equally provocative are the ways that more than 70 images from different time periods, walks of life and levels of fame blend and collide, combining to form a rich if often chaotic group snapshot of our national character.
But what could be more vital and diverse— and quintessentially American, too — than hanging a portrait of Abraham Lincoln with such unlikely companions as an Apache Indian couple, an unidentified Arkansas farmer in overalls, renowned painter Edward Hopper and punk rock icon Patti Smith — not to mention the black cleaning woman immortalized by photographer Gordon Parks' in his flag-draped 1942 portrait "American Gothic"?
"I wanted to make you think about people. I wanted to make you think about photography — I wanted you to think about portraits," Chrysler chief curator Jefferson Harrison says.
"And if I'd had more space, I could have gone on and on, creating all sorts of juxtapositions."
Drawn completely from the Chrysler's nationally known photography collection, "Portraying a Nation: American Portrait Photography, 1850-2100" ranges from the pioneering daguerreotype to the contemporary digital photo.
It also arranges and then explores the images according to several themes, including "Friends and Family," "I Am What I Do," "My Message is My Meaning" and "Joiners and Loners."
From the beginning here, however, one of the primary attractions is the individual story embedded in each portrait.
Sometimes it's found in the subject's face or figure, as in Irving Penn's heroic 1951 studio shot of a muscular, tool-laden tree pruner. And sometimes — as in George Tice's evocative 1984 portrait of an elderly barber sitting alone within an even older shop — it's told by the details and atmosphere of the surrounding environment.
Still, Harrison's themes frequently provide us with unusually fertile cues, enabling viewers to add related images up one by one into an unexpectedly revealing and resonant kind of meaning.
Consider how three vintage daguerreotypes compare to one another, then how they relate to some of the other images gathered in "Friends and Family."
Two smiling, well-dressed children from the 1850s inhabit the first of these images, presenting a charming picture of a brother protecting his much younger sister. Two young women with bright white collars, full flowing dresses and pulled-back hair stand arm-in-arm in another.
In the third, however, two freemen of color gaze confidently at the viewer, surprising us as much with the stylish cut of their suits and the fashionable sweep of their hair as their slavery-era bravado. But they're merely the first unexpected image that asks us to reevaluate any traditional notions about friends, family and the past.
Sal Lopes' penetrating 1991 portrait of "Buddies – Thom and Alan," for example, pairs a feeble, AIDs-stricken man and his defiant companion in a way that will make you think twice about your definition of kinship. And Frank A. Rinehart's exotic 1898 frontier portrait of an Apache Indian man and his wife captures a gesture of affection that's both simple and universal.
Don't miss Ernest C. Withers' dramatic shot of a 1968 civil rights march, where hundreds of stalwart black men stand shoulder to shoulder across a street, each holding a sign saying, "I Am A MAN."
Then there's John Vachon's 1941 portrait of a bedraggled yet still smiling Depression-era mom as she looks down on two beds stuffed full with children.
This is what people mean when they say, "Great picture!"
