Study: Women Love Social Media More Than Men (Unless It's LinkedIn) Women use every major social media channel more than men—except for LinkedIn—according to a Pew Research study released today.
Pew found that 76 percent of online U.S. adult females use Facebook, compared to 66 percent for online males, while fairly similar women/men percentage splits exist for Twitter (18 percent/17 percent), Instagram (20/17) and Pinterest (33/8). Indeed, one-third of women are now using Pinterest. But then there's LinkedIn: the researcher said 24 percent of Internet-using men employ the site compared to 19 percent of women. Every major platform, Pew says, has experienced an uptick in users compared to December 2012, as 73 percent of online consumers now utilize at least one social media channel and 42 percent use multiple ones. Instagram made particularly strong gains in the last year with 18-to-29-year-olds (up nine percentage points to 37 percent) and African Americans (up 11 percentage points to 34 percent), the researcher said. Check out the full Pew study here. [Report] The State of Social Business 2013: The Maturing of Social ... Piktochart: Infographic and Presentation Tool for Non-Designers.
The ultimate guide to social media tools. Social media tools are supposed to make your life easier, but there are dozens floating around out there, and you don't have time to research and test them all out.
Wouldn't it be so much easier if someone did that for you and just told you which ones to use? It's your lucky day! This infographic from SocialMediaStrategiesSummit.com does exactly that. It breaks up the major social media tasks and lists the best tools for each task. It also lists whether the tools are free, what types of companies they are ideal for, which companies already use them, and why the tools are worth your time. Are you shouting "alleluia" yet?
Here's a look at some of the tools on the list: Task: Listen to conversations about your brand, competitors or keywords. 10 Vital Elements Of A Perfect Infographic Design. I have covered the topic of why infographics are such a great way to present information to people.
I have even written about the reasons why infographics have become such a huge impact on blogs and their traffic. Infographics are specifically designed to present information in a way that makes it easy for the viewer or reader to quickly understand what the presentation is all about. An infographic is so much more than an image with information presented on it. It is actually a tool to simplify education and optimize the time it takes to learn. iPad App mem:o Is A Simple Data Visualization Tool For Design Lovers. Technology makes it easy to turn the minutiae of our daily lives into useful data sets, but sometimes it feels bleak seeing every experience or memory broken down into pie charts and bar graphs. mem:o is a unique visualization tool that takes life-logging beyond spreadsheets by transforming data into striking images influenced by Dutch graphic design.
The iPad app is free for download and includes two boards, with the option of adding more boards via an in-app purchase. Developers Caroline Oh and Young Sang Cho, the duo behind studio c+y, say the app's look was inspired by the bold shapes and playful colors of graphic design influenced by Werkplaats Typografie (Typography Workshop), a masters program run by the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in the Netherlands. mem:o uses a font called Brown that was created by Swiss designer Aurèle Sack to be especially legible. But mem:o isn't targeted at design nerds only.

Monthly active users by the numbers [Chart] Instagram announced Thursday that it's hit 90 million monthly active users, finally releasing the metric that most people look to in evaluating the reach of a particular website or app.
Monthly active users are one of the better indicators of a company's true reach — you can have millions of users, but if they never log in and use your service, that doesn't mean much. We broke down the numbers for all of the prominent social media services that have released a monthly active user stat, and then plotted those numbers along with the years since the company launched. The area of the circles is representative of the service's monthly active users. And you might find some of the results surprising. For all we talk about Twitter, it is only a fifth the size of Facebook.

How to Talk Social Media to Big Wigs. Social media managers often lament over having to discuss social media with high-level executives who just don't get it — or think they do, since they have a Facebook profile.
Wes Crnkovich, cross media strategist at ad agency Plan B, said that brands need to give top executives a better understanding of today's platforms, devices and services if they expect executive support. Crnkovich also spoke specifically about social media's opportunities for food brands, which he defines as any company that sells food, from Kraft, to Chipotle.

Magnum Moment
Crimes and Punishments in a Small Town
By Bret Bradigan
Marc Welch and I were leaving Sunday school and heading home through the drifting snow when we spotted a glimpse of gleaming chrome in the towering snowbank outside Chum's Sunoco in our tiny town of Forestville, New York.
The gleaming chrome turned out to be the cylinder of a checkered-grip .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, a popular and powerful revolver. We discovered that the pistol's cylinder was full with six squat copper-jacketed cartridges. We had to make a tough decision – turn in the pistol to the police, or keep it for ourselves.
As we were either 10 or 11 years old at the time, we hit upon the genius idea of splitting the difference. We decided to turn in the pistol, but only after we had fired off all six rounds. The closest, safest place we could find as a makeshift shooting range was the waterfall on Walnut Creek, a half-mile away or so up and down and across the snowy fields and frozen stream to the falls, a series of cataracts spilling over sandstone-and-slate ledges, ringed with 30-foot cliffs and, most importantly, icicles that ranged from the rim to the pool below, like jagged teeth in the maw of a nightmare monster.
We took turns, three shots each, and it was a great spectacle to watch those icicles crumple in slow-motion sequence beneath the booming power of the pistol shots. The pistol had serious recoil, but we braced each other and got off accurate shots, though the noise alone might have been enough to shatter those freakish ice formations.
It was the echo which got us undone, the noise echoing around the entire neighborhood. Everyone within a mile heard those six shots. Gunfire wasn't uncommon in our community of hunters, but usually not within the village limits.
We decided to return to the scene of the find, at the gas station, and turned over the pistol to the gas station attendant. We learned that there had been a robbery the previous night — a stickup man cleared out the cash register then apparently tossed the pistol into the snowbank. We expected that was the end of it. We didn't tell him that we'd blasted off the six rounds. He didn't ask.
Of course, the decidedly underdeveloped executive function of our young brains failed to consider a few consequences; foremost that we had tampered with evidence in a major crime, and that the charges against the perpetrator would be much, much worse if a firearm was discharged during the commission of the crime.
By the time we each got home, through that mysterious small-town telegraph that tom-tom drummed every bit of news and gossip into parents' ears before we kids could even 'fess up, mine had learned of our misdeed. To their credit, they weren't angry, the most common emotion to accompany my many mischievous misadventures. They were concerned. Which felt worse.
The detective who came to our house from Buffalo was kind and understanding, but he definitely did lecture us on obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence and the other crimes we committed, however unintentional. Marc and I were worried that the robber might seek us out as we had made the newspaper, though we weren't named.
The gas station burglary was a blow to Forestville's self-identity as a crime-free, bucolic community far from the crime waves that plagued urban centers like Buffalo, some 50 miles away. But it was an anomaly, the local police blotter was soon back to reporting lost pets, angry drunks and domestic disputes, often all in one call.
I've lived in small towns by far the majority of my life – there is something familiar and welcome about the sturdy social infrastructure of a place where everyone knows your name. In his important book, "Bowling Alone," sociologist Robert Putnam measured the advantage in happiness and opportunity that resulted from small-town life at about 20 percent. That book came out in 2000, so as our communities becomes atomized by the internet and subsequent retreat from the public sphere, the advantage of living in a small town has likely decreased. But not entirely. And certainly not in Ojai, because we work at it, supporting, at last count, 190 nonprofits.
There are few if any trolls in small towns, because the things you can say on the internet, you don't dare say to someone's face. People are at their worst in the anonymous fever swamps of Facebook, Twitter and blogosphere.
People are at their best in the everyday circumstances of small-town life. I learned that at a young age — even if you don't know what you're doing, you can bet someone else sure does.

October 11 to 17 is National Veterinary Technician's Week, a time to thank our hard-working veterinary technicians for all they do to help care for the pets entrusted to our care. Cedar Pet Clinic is especially grateful for the contributions of our own team of veterinary technicians. Sue, Kristen, Michelle, Jayde, Kelly, Kris, and Maggie have a combined total of 60 years serving our clients and their beloved animal companions.
Duties of a Veterinary Technician
All veterinary technicians must complete a post-secondary program in veterinary technology to be eligible to work with animals. Programs may take up to two years to complete. In a veterinary clinic, technicians work alongside doctors to provide diagnostic and treatment services for several different breeds of pets. Some of their primary responsibilities include:
- Administering anesthesia and monitoring how the animal responds to it
- Taking blood, urine, and tissue samples
- Conducting laboratory tests
- Taking x-rays
- Providing emergency first aid
- Implanting microchips
- Administering medications and vaccines that a veterinarian has prescribed
- Notating patient charts
To say that our clinic couldn't operate without these dedicated professionals is an understatement. They enter the field because they are compassionate people who love animals and want to make a difference.

Missing Church's Chicken franchisee found in Farmers Branch, Texas
A former Church's Chicken franchisee who disappeared when the Oklahoma Tax Commission closed his restaurants earlier this month has been found.
Police discovered Lyndon Johnson, 54, of Dallas, walking in a business district about a mile off Interstate 635 freeway, also known as the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, in Farmers Branch, Texas. Farmers Branch is a suburb of Dallas.
Police took Johnson to a local hospital, but were not able to release details about his condition, said David Laisure, spokesman for the Farmers Branch Police Department.
"He was coherent, and he was speaking to officers and paramedics," Laisure said.
A private individual working with Johnson's family to help find him was able to first make contact with the missing businessman Sunday, said officer Leland Ashley, of the Tulsa Police Department.
Farmers Branch police contacted him again Monday afternoon.
Johnson owed more than $1.1 million in business debts and unpaid taxes when he went missing on or around Nov. 3. The Oklahoma Tax Commission closed 15 Church's Chicken restaurants operated by Johnson for failing to remit sales taxes to the state.
In a statement, Atlanta-
based Church's Chicken said it remained committed to helping reopened the closed Oklahoma restaurants.

- Video: Corporate officials work to re-open closed Church's Chicken restaurants (2015-11-19)
"We are relieved to hear that former franchisee Lyndon Johnson has been found safe by law enforcement," the company said. "Our sole focus remains on working with the receiver so that he can reopen the impacted restaurants, get crew members back to work, and get back to serving the communities affected by these temporary closings"
Court-appointed receiver C. David Rhoades took control of Johnson's restaurants on Nov. 13.
Rhoades said employees have been working on cleaning up the closed restaurants and could get some of the locations back open by the end of the week.
The 15 restaurants, mostly in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City markets, likely will reopen on a staggered basis, Rhoades said.
"It's important to get these folks back to work as soon as possible because Christmas is coming," he said.

What's in a name? God spoke names and created everything. An angel told Mary and Joseph to name her son Jesus. Eight days after Christmas, he was given that name.
Jesus is English for Y'shua: Savior. Jesus earned many names. Among them: the final Adam, Advocate and Mediator, Alpha and Omega, Bread of Life, Bridegroom, Eternal Life, Sheepgate and Good Shepherd, High Priest, Heir of all things, Holy One, the I Am, Image of God, God with us, Judge of all, King of kings and Lord of lords, Lamb of God, Light of the World, Only Begotten Son of God, the Resurrection and the Life, our Rock, Son of David, Son of God, Son of Man, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Word of God and Christ: the Anointed One.
If the name of Jesus has been pronounced over you, he will not leave you. You're no longer your own. Your savior said, "I am with you, even to the end of the world."
We try everything else. We try medicine. Yoga. Romance. Danger. Possessions. We try living a long time. We do diets, political parties, self-help books, new jobs, entertainment walls, the Great Books. We surf the internet, walk labyrinths, hang crystals, read horoscopes, call psychic-hotlines, do psychoanalysis, acupuncture, spas, friendships, and lost causes. It's so simple and so offensive, and so life-changing. If we'd only try Jesus.
His name is above every name: "… the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." Phil 2:10-11 If we even call him by his name, we call him savior.
What's in a name? In his name, we have all we need.
Bishop Peter F. Hansen is rector of St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church in Chico.

Tory priority is a tax cut for millionaires
David Williams challenges MP on inheritance tax plans
David Williams has today challenged his Tory opponent on whether he supports David Cameron's policy that does nothing for 96 per cent of families. At a time when the Tories have also called for cuts in police, Sure Start, housing and apprenticeships, this shows where their true instincts really lie.
David Williams, Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Crewe and Nantwich said:
"The Tories say they want to help ordinary families but their priority during the downturn is to give on average a £200,000 tax cut to 3,000 millionaires. It's a policy that does nothing for 96 per cent of families in this country.
"They have confirmed that they will be campaigning in the next election on a manifesto which so far has only one definite pledge – an inheritance tax cut for millionaires.
"If the Conservatives meant what they said then they'd drop their tax cuts for the wealthiest estates and support the £145 tax cut that Labour are giving to basic rate taxpayers. My challenge to Mr Timpson is simple - at this tough time does he support an inheritance tax cut for millionaires that will do nothing to help the majority of people in Crewe and Nantwich?"
The vast majority of families in Crewe and Nantwich pay no inheritance tax. From 2010 the inheritance tax allowance will rise to £350,000 per person, or £700,000 for married couples. Below this amount families pay no inheritance tax at all.

Former Kansas State great Willie Murrell, one of only two Wildcats to average 20 points and 10 rebounds for his career, died earlier this month at the age of 78 in the Denver area.
Murrell averaged 22.3 points and 11.1 rebounds for K-State during his 1963-64 senior season, leading the Wildcats to the Final Four and earning first-team All-America honors from the Helms Foundation. He posted 29 points and 13 rebounds in a 90-84 loss to UCLA in the national semifinals, making him the only Wildcat to notch a Final Four double-double.
Murrell played two seasons at K-State for Tex Winter after transferring from Eastern Oklahoma A&M. He led the Wildcats to a 38-16 record, including back-to-back Big Eight titles.
A native of Taft, Okla., Murrell finished his K-State career with averages of 20.6 points and 10.7 rebounds. He joins Bob Boozer as the only players in K-State history to average 20 points and 10 rebounds.
K-State retired Murrell's No. 44 jersey in 2009. He was inducted into the Kansas State Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.
Following his K-State career, Murrelll was selected in the fourth round of the 1964 NBA Draft by the St. Louis Bombers. He played three professional seasons, including stints with the ABA's Denver Nuggets (1967-68) and the Miami Floridians (1968-70).

a great 15 IPS RTR tape?
Heh Chad, Heh Tape Project, get the lead out!
Bought the LP before the buz.
We can have it all.
From The Yardbirds to The Bluesbreakers with John Mayall to Cream, to the cobbled together "supergroup" Blind Faith and then, showing no ego, as a sideman in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, the group that had opened for Blind Faith.
His association with Delaney Bramlett brought Clapton out of the sideman shadows and his eponymous star-studded Bramlett-produced yielded the hit "After Midnight" and a long association thereafter with J.J. Cale to the benefit of both.
Later came Derek and the Dominoes and while it's considered great today, it was initially met with mediocre reviews and sales. Over the subsequent years Clapton released hit albums like Slowhand produced by Glyn Johns and 461 Ocean Boulevard as well as some less distinguished ones like Money and Cigarettes.
Clapton's collaborative work continued, especially for charities, but his stardom diffused until the release in 1992 of Unplugged, which hit number one o the Billboard charts and eventually sold more than ten million copies. "Tears in Heaven" co-written with Will Jennings brought Clapton to yet another generation of music fans who commiserated with his expression of the loss of his four year old son in a tragic accident.
Tragedy and loss haunted Clapton throughout much of his life, the details of which you can find for yourself and no doubt that played into both his own bouts with addiction and alcoholism as well as his notable charitable generosity.
He continued his charitable and collaborative work, often reuniting with former bandmates like Jeff Beck and Steve Winwood, and when Unplugged was re-released, re-mastered with far better sound and with addition tunes, it reached a new audience and rekindled interest among his old fans, many of whom had drifted off.
In 2013 he signed with his current label Surfdog and released Old Sock, his 21st studio album. It was a mixed bag of covers and a few originals, all of which sounded like the cover photo looked: an honest portrait of a veteran artist getting older, looking for comfortable retirement but not yet quite finished.
He'd been a bluesman, a guitar god/hero, a rocker, a pop star, a reggae artist, an acoustic folkie and a standards bearer. He was all of those things on Old Sock, which was of course competently drawn but less than inspired, though the blues, his original muse and constant inspiration lurked everywhere and it did top the Billboard indie charts and reached number seven on the top two hundred.
In the spring of 2014 Clapton announced that he'd soon be retiring but before doing so he celebrated his seventieth birthday by playing seven nights at The Royal Albert Hall. It was also fifty years since his Royal Albert Hall debut. Eagle Rock Entertainment released in November of 2015 Slowhand at 70—Live at the Royal Albert Hall on all formats including a triple-gatefolded three LP set that included the concert DVD, also available separately on Blu-ray.
I hadn't planned to buy the package but a friend insisted both that the concert sound was spectacular but more importantly, that Clapton was on fire and inspired as he'd not been for some time, backed by Paul Carrack (and Chris Stainton on keyboards, Nathan East on bass, and Sharon and and Michelle John on backing vocals.
I bit and glad I did. Best Clapton in a long time, very well recorded, packaged and pressed a live compendium of Clapton's "greatest hits" and more.
Which brings me to I Still Do, this new Glyn Johns produced album that is a major event musically and sonically. When you strip it all away and stand musically naked, which is what this production does, you are fully exposed and you'd better bring your "A" game. That goes for both Clapton and crew and Glyn Johns too!
The point here was not to produce anything new or revolutionary but rather to do what Eric Clapton does best, with concentrated, bracing intensity and vitality. That is what the album does. This is not the sound of guy ready to hang it up.
The album opens with a slow blues—a cover of Leroy Carr's classic "Alabama Woman Blues". Clapton brings a depth of soul to his singing that's far removed from an earlier stretch were some of his vocals sounded "phoned in". Drummer Henry Spinetti sets a slow, slinky heavy beat that Clapton slices into with searing guitar lines.
Everyone's on fire and it doesn't take more than a few bars before you realize you're hearing a rich, organic, transparent artifact-free sound that's rarely heard on modern recordings (probably because this all analogue recording and mix is not a "modern" recording!).
What you also notice is how Dave Bronze's bass lines don't just "pop" but instead sustain the anchored note and decay slowly into the next one, helping to produce a rich musical "whole". And then of course there's Glyn Johns' fabulous drum sound. It's real stereo not panned mono discontinuity so it's believably real sounding and the louder you crank it the better and more believable it sounds!
There's a JJ Cale song that you'll recognize as one of his even without the credits, and a side ending "I Will Be There" by Paul Brady and John O'Kane (sung by Brady and Mary Black in 1997) that veers towards the overly-sentimental but doesn't sink into it. On that track you'll notice how Johns puts the back up singers intimately in the stereo space and not as separate accessories. That connection helps sell the song.
"Spiral" written by Clapton, Andy Fairweather Low and Simon Climie (who produced Old Sock) is where the album, simmering up to this point, catches fire. It's an affirmation of a life making music and its vitality, particularly Clapton's vocal, let's you know he's refreshed and not ready to retire. "I gotta have it!" he exclaims.
"Catch the Blues" is a smooth, suave wah-wah drenched Clapton original with a Latin beat that harkens back to something from Slowhand but instead of a gloss-over, the intense vibe sucks you in again aided by the back up singers and how they are placed almost breathing down Clapton's neck (in a good way!). The second side ends with an homage to Skip James's "Cypress Grove".
Side three opens with the good hearted bedtime chestnut "Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day" that's been covered by everyone from Paul Robeson to Perry Como and Sarah Vaughan. It's something McCartney could have covered on his Kisses on the Bottom album, here simply and intimately produced. A wailing, blistering "Stones in My Passway" with an intense Clapton vocal serves as a wake-up call (listen to how the tambourine has been recorded) and a bridge to an effective, accordion flecked cover of "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" that's among the album's most "live", three-dimensional and best sounding tracks.
Now the album's fully engulfed but the final side starting with the traditional "I'll be Alright" (the inspiration for "We Shall Overcome") followed by a raucous cover of "Somebody's Knockin'" an unreleased JJ Cale tune, and ending with the classic "I'll Be Seeing You" hits the sublime button musically and sonically. I'm sure the album wasn't recorded in the final presentation order, but the sound and the performances peak on the final side with "I'll Be Seeing You" sure to leave long time fans with more than a twinge of nostalgia and a pathway to a long listen back at an amazing recorded career.
I've played this one repeatedly since it arrived yesterday and as a demonstration of indelibly pure, gimmick-free music making from all involved and record production excellence, it goes right to the top of any list. The double 45rpm 180g MPO pressing (at least my sealed copy) was quiet, flat and flawless. Don't miss this one!
A high performance audio system is not necessary to enjoy I Still Do, but the better your system, the greater will be the sonic and musical pleasures. I feel sorry for people who stream this AAA production and think they're hearing it. They are getting a shadow reflection.
Here's a track from the album transferred from the vinyl 96/24 resolution.

a great 15 IPS RTR tape?
Heh Chad, Heh Tape Project, get the lead out!
Bought the LP before the buz.
We can have it all.
This all sounds well and good,but no MQA version? :)
As a young man of 32, I discovered Eric Clapton from his Unplugged concert. I since went back and bought all of his albums as Unplugged was just inspiring music (and the newly remastered AAA LP is divine). I have my copy of this album on the way, and I just picked up my paperback edition of "Sound Man." Life is good for this tape and Clapton fan. I heard "Layla", "Let It Grow", "Forever Man", and all of his classics. He really is a musical treasure and it is inspiring to see him making music into his 70s.
I was glad to see the mention of Chris Stainton (keyboards) and Henry Spinetti (drums), two seminal members of Joe Cocker's Grease Band now working with Clapton.
Long live alter kocker rock!
Loved the interview and no doubt the album more. My usual rule is to buy the pressing from the country of recording which in this case is here in the UK. However, although it was recorded in the the UK the cutting was in the US so should I get the US pressing instead?
was pressed by MPO in France.
I may as well buy here as they're likely one and same. Thanks for that. K.
...that the link took me to "My Return" by the Twilight Hours.
After three unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to download the damn thing, only to find it wasn't what it was supposed to be.
Just listened to this and it sounds incredible. I really dig EC although I haven't been too excited about any new Clapton in a while but if the attention to detail heard in this clip is indicative of the rest of the record, mark me down for a copy.
Im not a big fan of 45 rpm for rock music, but with Glyn Johns recording Clapton and BG doing the cutting I will have to make an exception!
I have the 45 rpm of all the Doors, Fleetwood Mac and Rumours, early Dylan albums, Surrealistic Pillow, Workingman's Dead and a few others and they sound superior to 33.3. I wish all reissues were AAA cut at 45 rpm.
I'm with vinyl-lady, love the 45RPM reissues. Have the Dylan, Doors, and many others as well. A great many of them are the best issues I have of the particular album, most of them are my go-to issues !!
So, we have a new release from a well-known artist, created with full-on analog goodness, and cut at 45rpm on heavy vinyl, and it's NOT $50 or more, like reissues of old music often are? Kudos to Surfdog for offering real value here!
is that the digital download with the LP are wav files rather than mp3. All this for a reasonable price! Hope other record people are noticing.
Thus far I don't like this album at all, finding it a bit Boring. HOWEVER, this stream sonically blows away my CD of this album. Night and day man! Why not post your entire rip for our listening pleasure? While you're at it, how bout some of your Beatles rips? Maybe make it a contest were 1 reader gets a USB filled with your personal rips! :)
I was already looking at the limited edition CD version of this in addition to the LP but after reading your review I've ordered the 45 rpm vinyl from Clapton's web page as Amazon doesn't seem to carry it. As it appears to also include a hi res digital download I'll have to give some thought to the limited edition copy although I do enjoy collecting those from a certain few artists. I look forward to hearing the vinyl but "others" in my household may like a copy on CD as they are not permitted to play my records!! I suppose I could just burn a CD from the download...thoughts?
What about the Dutch pressing? Any informations about it? I got it and I'm not impressed with it! The Ryan Adams live at royal albert hall seems to be way better

The album is getting mixed reviews by most professional reviewers. The vinyl is also getting a mixed bag of reviews for its sonics, some really liking it, others not so much.
Your review got me excited to possibly buy it, then I started reading other reviews and your's is the only one that gives it very high marks overall.
I've seen all the mixed reviews as well. It's not super expensive though so why not try it? I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's not earth shattering stuff content wise but who expected that?
I can't figure out the mixed reviews on sound quality at all. Musical taste may vary but there's really no doubt this is a very good recording nicely packaged at a reasonable price.
I purchased the vinyl MPO pressing from the USA and have to say the sound was disappointing and the music did not engage me like I thought it should. Why?
Album came with a free WAV file download so got that and loaded on my SONOS player and was surprised that I started to like what I heard.
Then burnt the WAV files to audio CD because the DAC in my CD player is better than the SONOS DAC.
Then did an A/B vinyl vs. CD and was totally stunned to find I like the CD much better, the album is now enjoyable, but on CD. Never thought I'd be saying this.
The vinyl has a muddy veil over it and so it sounds dead, but the CD has a clear edge that balances and clarifies the big bass. Typical CD sound is a tad harsh on some highs and vocals, but I'd much rather that, then the muddy mess the vinyl is.
What the hell went wrong with the vinyl?
I compared the two on the final song of side 1. The typical descriptions of analog and digital sound apply, however, I preferred the vinyl. There is definitely more ambiance, sustain on the held notes, etc. More breadth, depth, ....
And just think, I am using an Ortofon's 2m bronze cartridge. Imagine what is there with a better cartridge!
This comparison made me wonder about Fremer's idea a while back, to cut an LP with one side from digital and one side from analog. This would be a nice album to do that with if it were possible. I for one can hear the difference, at least through my DAC vs. my turntable.
I'm very glad AAA vinyl is an option, and at a great price. I'm also really enjoying 45 RPMs... Need to get more of those...
Agree with Jeff C about the sound being occasionally muddy on the vinyl. I think the recording has been edited digitally also but it is just my personal feeling. Also, close microphones during a recording sessions is not automatically for me the road to good sound. I am also not happy about former great artists placing themselves in the chair of being producers these days. A lot of albums today from Dylan, Clapton, Neil Young lack the production and eye/ear from a producer. The records wind up sounding like clean demos without character and identity. This record has its moments but is uneven.
Has anyone else compared this to the 33 1/3 reissue of Slowhand which (so says the packaging) was remastered from the analog master tapes?
I have both and can confirm that they sound incredible! Having said that, in terms of pure sound quality, the 45rpm wins out by a small margin.

Chloe Logarzo: 'That's the Australian mentality I guess. We like a fight'
Midfielder Chloe Logarzo gave a player of the match performance to help bury Brazil at the FIFA Women's World Cup on Friday morning (AEST) and then put the Matildas' memorable comeback down to pure Australian fighting spirit.
Ante Milicic's side looked dead and buried 38 minutes into their second Group C tie in France, after falling 2-0 down to the counter-attacking Brazilians through goals from superstar Marta and Cristiane.
But a Caitlin Foord strike – from a Logarzo assist – just before the break gave Australia a lifeline, and the 24-year-old Sydney FC midfielder then fired her team level with a cross-cum-shot from outside the box on 58 minutes.
WATCH: Ante Milicic's full post-match press conference after the Brazil game
WE'RE BACK: Captain Sam Kerr pays tribute to amazing fightback
RELIVE THE RESULT: Foord and Logarzo spark thrilling comeback
The Matildas' magical Montpellier comeback was complete eight minutes later when Brazil defender Monica headed into her own net as Emily van Egmond aimed a cross at captain Sam Kerr.
"Unbelievable, I'm on cloud nine. It hasn't really sunk in yet," Logarzo, who was voted the FIFA Player of the Match, said after the game.
"The confidence we had in ourselves, and the confidence Ante [Milicic] has instilled in us is incredible.
"I never doubted us for a second, even being 2-0 down.
"You've got to love Ante. He said [at half-time] 'when you've got your back against the wall you come out swinging'.
That's the Australian mentality, we like a fight I guess."
The final whistle brought jubilant scenes from Australia's players and fans, with Logarzo dedicating her equalising strike to injured team-mate Laura Alleway who was last week replaced in the squad by Canberra United's Karly Roestbakken.
"My goal celebration was for Laura Alleway – I hope she really likes it. She always there with us, she's [written in a message] on my wrist," Logarzo said.
"We'll never leave a player behind."

With the Commonwealth Cup back in Virginia Tech's Merryman Center after what has become an annual late-night journey around downtown Blacksburg's favorite establishments and players rested after a week of All-ACC reveling and no practices, reality is sinking in.
Despite the general wave of positivity surrounding No. 22 Tech (9-3, 5-3 ACC) as it awaits its bowl destination Sunday, there's an underlying anxiety surrounding the team. Some of the most prominent figures in the program will have life-changing decisions to make.
The biggest news may be the speculation coach Justin Fuente is on Florida State's short list of candidates to replace Jimbo Fisher, who has accepted an offer to fill Texas A&M's coaching vacancy. But Tech will also have to wait and see if at least two players – junior outside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Tim Settle – will leave school early and head to the NFL.
"I do," Settle said when asked Thursday by reporters if he has a decision to make regarding bypassing his final two seasons of college eligibility for the NFL draft. "I'm not really worried about that right now. Just trying to focus on this last game and see how that goes. This is the seniors' last game. We sent them out good at home, we sent them out good against (Virginia), we're going to send them out good with a bowl game."
While Settle said he plans to submit paperwork to an NFL draft advisory committee that will help him determine where he could get taken in the draft, Edmunds indicated he'll take a lot of feedback from Tech's coaching staff.
"That'll be up to the coaches, so I'll let them decide and we'll go from there," said Edmunds about whether he'll seek an evaluation from the draft advisory committee.
Settle was an All-ACC second-team selection this week, while Edmunds joined wide receiver Cam Phillips, cornerback Greg Stroman and left guard Wyatt Teller as first-team selections. Linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka and safety Terrell Edmunds, Tremaine's brother, made the third team.
Tremaine Edmunds is also waiting to hear the outcome of voting for the Butkus Award, awarded to the nation's top linebacker. He's one of five finalists for the prize. No Tech player has ever won it.
Tremaine Edmunds' stock continues to rise from the perspective of many NFL draft gurus. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper considers him the 13th best overall player who could be available in the 2018 draft, and the third-best outside linebacker. ESPN's Todd McShay has him rated the 32nd best player who could be eligible in the '18 draft.
In addition to Settle and Tremaine Edmunds, junior cornerback Adonis Alexander, redshirt junior Terrell Edmunds and redshirt junior defensive tackle Ricky Walker, a Bethel High graduate, could also be weighing NFL options.
FSU's potential interest in Fuente certainly warrants attention, but it's a scenario that will be out of the hands of players. Multiple media reports have listed Fuente along with Willie Taggart, the first-year coach at Oregon who served as South Florida's coach for four seasons, as possibly FSU's top targets to replace Fisher.
As concerning as Fuente's future in Blacksburg could be for Tech's players, there's been plenty to keep them preoccupied, between catching up on classes and going through normal conditioning and weight room workouts. Pondering potential bowl destinations has also captivated the thoughts of some players.
As Tech preps to end its season by with a 25th consecutive bowl trip, several postseason scenarios are in play. The Hokies appear headed to one of three bowls: the TaxSlayer Bowl on Dec. 30 in Jacksonville, Fla, the Camping World Bowl on Dec. 28 in Orlando, Fla. or the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 27 in New York.
"With all this time, we do a little research," Walker said. "We're a little anxious. We want to know. …I think (Thursday) I asked (Tech's associate athletics director for strategic communications) Pete (Moris), 'You got any idea where we're going to go?' So no, but anywhere is going to be great. Like (Tech defensive coordinator Bud) Foster said, he's never been to a bad bowl, so I'm looking forward to it."
Tech will get started with bowl prep next week, meaning any leftover chest-thumping in connection with its 10-0 win Nov. 24 at U.Va. — which lost for a 14th consecutive time to the Hokies — will probably be a thing of the past. Maybe a few memories from the postgame celebration with the Commonwealth Cup will linger, but that's debatable.
"We just drank out of the cup," said Stroman of the post-U.Va. game merriment. "I mean, anybody gets to drink out the cup, but we watch what we put in there."

By Huang Ge in Papua New Guinea
BEIJING, Nov. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against the rising trend of protectionism and unilateralism as he delivered a keynote speech at the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in Port Moresby, capital of Papua New Guinea, on Saturday, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Chinese and foreign representatives who attended the APEC CEO Summit told the Global Times on Saturday that they were inspired by Xi's speech and countries across the world should strengthen cooperation to pursue inclusive growth through innovation instead of confrontation.
Xi said that only openness and cooperation can create more opportunities and space for development, Xinhua reported.
"Confrontation, either in the form of a cold war or trade war, produces no winners," he said.
The president called for firm efforts to safeguard the multilateral trading system that has the WTO as its core, the Xinhua report said.
"As rising uncertainty troubles the world market, China has made its resolute voice heard at APEC that the world is expected to strengthen cooperation, pursue common development and advance inclusive growth through innovation in technological fields, such as artificial intelligence and fintech, as well as cooperation models including the Belt and Road initiative (BRI)," said Tang Ning, founder and CEO of CreditEase, a Chinese fintech company.
"If some countries set up barriers to cut off the close economic ties that exist between countries, this not only violates economic rules and the historical trends, but also does not meet the general aspirations of the people of the world," Tang said. "[Such a move] is short-sighted and will not succeed."
"President Xi's speech was truly inspiring. He spoke of an important message that everyone should recognize - a world built on shared destiny, responsibility and prosperity," Joahnna Esquivias, an APEC Voices of the Future delegate from the Philippines, told the Global Times on Saturday.
"I was very happy when he said that there are no winners in a trade war. Because this trade war is affecting not only the economies of China and the US but those in the peripheries," she noted.
Xi pointed out that the world is encountering changes that have not been seen in a century and mankind has once again reached a crossroads. He stressed that the interests of all countries and the future of mankind hinge on choosing between cooperation and confrontation, between openness and closing one's door, and between win-win progress and a zero-sum game, according to the Xinhua report.
Chen Yushu, managing director of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, told the Global Times that after listening to President Xi's speech, he was deeply impressed that today's world has become more interdependent and interconnected than ever before.
"Economic globalization is the only way forward for the development of human society, and multilateral trade can bring about common opportunities for the growth of countries," Tang said.
Tang noted that each country is part of the global cooperation chain as the world supply chain, industry chain and value chain are all closely linked.
"For Asia-Pacific members, only by strengthening cooperation and achieving inclusive growth, will it be possible to bring benefits to these countries," he said.
"I believe that if APEC becomes more open to regional integration through the BRI, economies will be more integrated. There's much potential and promise in APEC," Esquivias said. "I hope to see that in the near future."

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Docker, Inc., the commercial entity behind the open source Docker project, today announced the release of Docker 0.7. By extending its storage system with an open driver API and shipping drivers for several standard storage technologies, including device mapper and btrfs, Docker now runs on any Linux distribution, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Suse and Gentoo. Offering an alternate approach to virtualization, Docker provides a simple and effective approach to creating lightweight, portable and self-sufficient containers from any application that run virtually anywhere: bare metal, virtualized, public cloud or private cloud.
"It's a significant and exhilarating time for Docker, as our ecosystem is growing rapidly and receiving a tremendous response from the community," said Ben Golub, chief executive officer at Docker. "We've always stated that our mission is to enable any application to run consistently on any server, anywhere, and the release of 0.7 is a significant step toward our goal of allowing developers to run Docker in any environment. We look forward to further building out our ecosystem, as several additional drivers are already being developed by the community, including ZFS, GlusterFS and Ceph."
By leveraging Docker, users can properly address the numerous new applications, languages, frameworks and hardware environments that are present in today's developer landscape. Docker 0.7 provides several major enhancements including links that enable developers to compose complex software stacks by connecting containers to each other, as well as offline transfers, allowing software vendors to deliver updates to their enterprise customers as Docker containers, while staying in control of the delivery channels.
"With the removal of dependency on AUFS, Docker 0.7 can now be used on any modern Linux distribution. We believe this will significantly increase the amount of Docker users, and we look forward to collaborating with the team further," said Greg Kroah-Hartman, fellow at The Linux Foundation.
"We have been following Docker closely and are thrilled to be implementing a pilot project with 0.7. With its ability to now run on any Linux distribution and our kernel of choice, we look forward to utilizing Docker 0.7 within our environment," said Brian McCallister, CTO of Platform at Groupon.

The most commonly used printing method for corrugated products, flexographic direct printing is an economical, versatile and high-quality process. We can apply up to six colors plus aqueous and UV coatings, and we can achieve image resolution between 45 and 110 lines per inch.
Flexographic Preprint
Flexographic preprint is a cost-effective printing option for higher-volume, high-resolution packaging and displays. It differs from direct printing in that the outside liner is printed (in roll form) before it is converted into corrugated sheets. By preprinting the liner before it is converted, this process provides high-quality images, color consistency and good color saturation. We can apply up to ten colors plus aqueous and UV coatings, and we can achieve image resolution between 45 and 133 lines per inch.
Lithographic Printing (Litho)
For high-impact graphics with near photographic quality, lithographic printing is a terrific option for smaller runs where flexibility in copy is a must. This process is performed on cut sheets, which are then applied to converted corrugated blanks. It is also well suited for high-volume needs through a manufacturing process known as singleface lamination. Image resolution ranges between 45 and 200 lines per inch.
Korpack is your national business to business (B2B) single-source supplier provider of stock, custom, and retail packaging as well as packaging machinery and automation solutions. Korpack takes a consultative approach to strategically focus on reducing the long-term total cost of ownership of packaging operations and on enhancing the organizational value of its customers.

About 17% of homes in the United States have some kind of security system installed. That number is expected to reach 30% in the next three years. It's a rapidly growing industry and more and more families are coming to view a security system as a necessity in any home they live in. But how did security systems get started? How did they develop into today's sophisticated, monitor-anywhere systems? And what can we expect in home security in the future? Our home security camera installation team in Los Angeles has answers!
The History of Home Security
Home security has really existed for as long as the concept of "home" has been around. That's because we've always wanted to protect what's ours, even if it was a cave. We quickly graduated from rocks and sticks to domesticated dogs, though. Dogs were domesticated and used to protect homes and animals an incredible 15,000 years ago. Even today, dogs are the most common form of home security out there, still being used around the world to protect our families and homes. Even small dogs can be beneficial, alerting us with their bark to unfamiliar noises and intruders. But as great as dogs are, they require a lot of time and effort, too.
Fun fact: Dogs aren't the only animals that have been used for home security! Geese were used in ancient Rome as a sort of home security system. Geese have great eyesight and can determine "regular" visitors from "unknown" visitors in their territory. And unlike a dog, it's hard to bribe a goose with a juicy steak. Geese have been responsible for broken bones and other injuries when they've become aggressive with humans who are invading their home turf.
The Industrial Revolution: Need for Security Increases
Along with the technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution came the need for more security in our homes. More people were moving into the cities, which in turn saw an increase in theft and other crimes. Many homeowners turned from canine security to a more human touch, employing guards to check their doors at night to ensure they were locked up tight. It was around this time that electromagnetic locks were invented, too, giving additional security to doors and windows. If the bond of the magnet was broken, a sound would alert the homeowners. Most of these systems were reserved for the very wealthy.
Fun fact: The tumbler lock was invented by Linus Yale, Jr. in 1861. It's the same design that's used in most locks today, using a key with a serrated edge to position tumblers within the housing of the lock to a certain level in order to turn and release the lock. In fact, if you look at many of the locks that you use around your house, you might see the Yale name on them!
The Modern Era
After the first World War, people (understandably) wanted to make their homes more secure. Video surveillance systems are actually invented in this time period, but they wouldn't come into common use for decades, clear up until the 1970's. At this point, the cost of home surveillance systems began to decline and they became more accessible to most households. The growing middle class in the 1980's meant that more families could afford to invest in home security, to the systems started to get more sophisticated and developed with multiple video cameras and remote monitoring that allowed for off-site security teams to check in with a family to see if they needed assistance.
Fun fact: Marie Van Brittan Brown from Queens, New York invented the first video surveillance system in 1966. Her system involved four peepholes and a single camera that relayed images to a monitor, as well as a system that allowed the user to remotely unlock the door. She'd invented the system for residential use, but the efficiency and effectiveness of the system meant that many businesses decided to use it for their security, too.
Today's Security Systems
Today's home security systems are more sophisticated than ever. Most systems are connected to the internet, allowing families to monitor the cameras using virtually any internet-enabled device. You can check your front door camera on your phone or even monitor other rooms on your television. Cameras are getting smaller and smaller, too, so they aren't the bulky, obtrusive items they were just a few years ago. Today, you can find cameras to monitor your home that are only a few inches big and provide crystal clear pictures and video.
Home Security in the Future
Did you know that the number of home burglaries has actually been decreasing since 1994? Most people credit home security systems with the decline. Most thieves are going to be stopped in their tracks by signs that you have a home security system installed on your property, especially if it involves lights and sounds. That's why home security systems are going to become more and more common in the future. Homes without systems could become targets for thieves, which will make homeowners even more eager to have a system installed. You'll likely see the technology involved in home security becoming more and more impressive while consuming less space. Cameras could one day be the size of an eraser and provide high-definition images automatically sent to your smartphone. It could be those home security systems become standard issue in homes, with builders incorporating them right into the household's smart home setup. Additionally, you'll likely see a lot of pro-active security systems that can detect unusual activity and report it before an incident actually takes place. Algorithms will sort through the data that's collected by the security system and look for anomalies.

There's a Jersey Shore controversy in New Jersey over a tax break for the popular TV show.
FOX News Radio's Dave Anthony explains the situation:
It's a tax fight over a show where fights are common; the Jersey Shore. The state's economic development authority has approved a 420-thousand dollar tax credit for the MTV show. Something Republican state lawmaker Declan O'Scanlon is against:
"Taxpayers should not be subsidizing the bar bill or the tanning bill."
He hopes New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who is no fan of Snooki or the Situation blocks the tax credit. But, officials and business owners where the show's filmed say the Jersey Shore's an important tourist draw:
"We're spending all our money, thanks to the Jersey Shore. That's the only reason. We wouldn't have come here."

Weeds, I've been told, are plants in places you don't want them to be. If you like the weeds where they are, does that make them non-weeds?
One summer a much loved aunt of mine who was ill and unable to leave her bed, wrote a full page of her letter to me about the lovely mimosa tree she could see from her window. Imagine my shock to hear someone refer to this tree as a weed. When I discovered a little girl who loved the "stubborn and wild" mimosa as much as my aunt, I hugged this little girl to my reader's heart immediately.
A TREE FOR EMMY by Mary Ann Rodman, illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss, Peachtree, 2009
Emmy loved all the parts of the mimosa tree growing in her gramma's pasture: the fuzzy pink blossoms in summer, the seed pods in the fall. Her proud gramma said the tree was a lot like Emmy, "Stubborn and strong and a little bit wild."
When her parents asked what she wanted for her birthday, of course, Emmy wanted a mimosa. It would be perfect under her bedroom window where she could enjoy it every day, all year.
Her parents set out to buy a mimosa tree. Not so easy. The plant and garden stores don't sell mimosas just like they don't sell dandelions.
What's a mimosa lover to do?
If you have any wild and stubborn young readers at your house, here's a summer time book to delight. Best read close to a mimosa, sitting on a quilt, with a picnic lunch close at hand. Another glass of lemonade, please.

Buy and sell on Facebook
Is Facebook destined to take over the world? Maybe not, but it may just swallow the Internet.
Is Facebook destined to take over the world? Maybe not, but it may just swallow the Internet.
One of the fastest growing Web sites in the world, Facebook's rise has been a phenomenon; however it does not seem content to rest on its laurels. One of its latest add-ons is the ability to let its users buy and sell their goods online.
Worryingly for existing players, Facebook Marketplace makes good sense. Unlike eBay, the dominant global marketplace, Facebook's sales are tightly integrated with peope's real identities - in theory at least. That makes you less likely to suffer from fraud - as a buyer or a seller.
To join Facebook Marketplace all you need to do is click on the link on the left hand navigation bar on the site's homepage, and join one of its regional networks.
In the United Arab Emirates presently there are 556 items for sale - including a shark, 178 posts for housing, 134 jobs and 35 items wanted - anyone have any old Arabic books?
There are similar networks for countries across the region - including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt and Oman, although some are considerably more developed than others.

When you first found out that your dog is pregnant, it might feel overwhelming. Some people feel anxious about their dog's health and sometimes the dog acts differently than usual and you are wondering if you did anything wrong. This is normal if you never had a pregnant dog before. But don't worry as a dog owner, most people have been through the same situation, it takes some time and experience to properly to take care of a pregnant dog.
Dogs bring joy into your household, you love them as well as your kids love them. You feed them and train them as best as you can. There is nothing out of ordinary from what you're doing with your dogs at home. And your dog's pregnancy may change all these things. Don't have a change of hearts, your dog is still the same dog that you love, only that it now can bring you some puppies into the mix.
But first you should know that breeding dogs is not a simple or easy matter, there are some things to consider, such as, genetics, health, environment and nutrition. Of course once the puppies are born they are now also tour responsibilities to take care of them, especially the first few weeks.
Don't be scared here are 7 Ways you need to know of how to Take Care a pregnant dog.
1. Prepare a place for your dog to give birth
This is the first step that you should do, it may seems too early for this but getting your dog used to a place to give birth will make it easier for her. Doing this the earlier the better, as you can give more time for your dog to get used it and lessen the stress they might get. A good place to give birth would be a place where there is little to no traffic at all time, because they love to give birth at a quiet place.
2. Give your dog a healthy and nutritious food
You probably already know that giving a good quality food to your dog is important at all time, no matter if they are pregnant or not. A healthy dog will affect the puppies' health, but during pregnancy, your dog need some changes in her diet. Don't worry it won't be complicated at all. From day 1 to 30 of the pregnancy, you shouldn't change anything regarding the diet, as the puppies haven't grown more than 30% during this period of time. adding more food could lead to weight gain which is something that you don't want, unless your dog is underweight, if that is the case than she needs more supplementation. Adding more vitamins and minerals would be the ideal.
After the 30th day of the pregnancy you can double the portion of the meal because during this period the puppies can grow rapidly. Calcium is important on the last days of the pregnancy, it can ease the pain of giving birth, and most Vets recommend premium dog food or puppy food. The trick is to give your dog a smaller portion of meals only more frequently to make it easier for them to digest the food. You can check our article regarding dog food.

3. Provide your dog with enough exercise
During the birthing process, the mother's muscle tone is very important. Your dog need to be strong and healthy. Keep in mind that your dog will give birth to at least two puppies. During the first 30 days you can play catch or fetch with your dog and at least 3o minutes of walking. After the first 30 day, walking is the only activity that is allowed as your dog's belly will be too big to do anything else without complications.
4. Create an environment that give less stress
in the last 4 weeks of the pregnancy, it's a good idea to separate your dog from the rest if you have any to prevent any rough interaction and bumps to the belly, a change to the diet also can cause anxiety to your dog so be cautious. Avoid loud noises and crowded places, it's good to give your dog a lot of attention but if too many people surrounding her it could add to more stress. Pay attention to things like dirty surroundings, moving furniture, people coming in and out and a change of resident, these things could be stressful for your dog.
5. Go to a vet for medications recommendations
All type of medications are not good for your pregnant dog, but if she needs it than you need to ask the vet regarding the medications. De-wormers, anti-flea and tick treatments are safe for pregnant dogs. However, vaccination is bad for a pregnant dog, as it will affect the puppies' immune system. So you must vaccine your dog before the pregnancy.
6. Stay beside your dog during the birth
All dogs are not the same some like to be alone when they are giving birth but some love company especially from their owner. Even if they want to be alone, you should keep watch of her, because it is a difficult process for your dog, even more if it is her first tome giving birth.
You can get your dog to give some comfort, watch the breathing and the puppies, and see if there is anything wrong during the process. If your dog is too tired to push, you can give some help by massaging her. Touching the puppies are important to stimulate their biological systems. The ammoniac sac may also stuck on their face and the mother is not able to lick it away and suffocate them, so watch out for that too.
If the mother is struggling and in a lot of pain and is not bringing another puppy since the first one, you should bring her immediately to the vet.
7. Have your dog checked up at least three times during the pregnancy period
It is important to have checkups for your dog on the beginning, middle and last phase of the pregnancy to make sure that she is carrying on just fine. First check should be on 21st – 30th day, this is to check if your dog is actually pregnant or not. The second one will be on the 35th – 40th day, this is to get ultrasonic on her puppies, so you can see how many puppies are to be expected. The third will be on the 57th – 67th day, just a few days away from giving birth, to make sure that everything is fine and no complications on the D-day.
From learning these 7 Ways you need to know of how to Take Care a Pregnant dog, hopefully nothing will go wrong during the pregnancy period and the birthing process. After your dog gives birth you will have more puppies to take care of, so be prepared for them and you will have so much fun.

Ok, but you realize that the highlight vulnerability in phpBB and the serialize/unserialize vulnerabilities in PHP are separate issues, right? According to SANS, the worm exploits the phpBB vulnerability, not a PHP vulnerability.
So the question remains:
Is a server running phpBB < 2.0.11 and PHP >= 4.3.10 vulnerable?
Do we all need to disable our boards if our hosts don't have PHP 4.3.10 ??
