One of the useful things about the Harry Potter books is the occasional phrase or incantation useful in one's daily life. Ron Weasley, for example, provided me with the perfect testimonial for all those of you who dropped off books on the Saturday of NATO Summit weekend.
Are you mental?
Do you really mean that in spite of everything the media did to terrify you about traffic and the possibility of mob action, you felt the Newberry could not go one weekend without your copy of The Da Vinci Code? It isn't that I MIND finding twenty-four shopping bags of books on the dock. It's that, having been properly cowed into trembling terror by the constant coverage of the Summit, I approach each bag with a butterfly net in one hand, a canister of bug spray in the other, and a machete between my teeth. Any book which cannot respond with the proper password gets a shot of the bug spray so any tiny blue terrorists inside will run out into the butterfly net and turned in to the authorities.
The machete? That's for use on anyone with a banana box.
In any case, this provides an opportunity to remind you that the library is shut for Memorial Day Weekend. That's next weekend, through some amazing Fast Forward button on the calendar, and the doors will be closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The gate to the parking lot will be chained, the guards will not be answering the doorbell, and no one will be available inside the building to do anything at all about your books.
Having now guaranteed that I will find at least fifty shopping bags on the dock next Tuesday, let us turn to some of the goodies you dropped off when you should have been hunkering in your basement, dining off emergency rations and listening to the news on your crank-operated radio. (Do you suppose the whole Summit was arranged simply to boost news ratings during a sweeps period? I'm just asking.)
We have had our first copy of the latest underground classic, Fifty Shades of Grey. I knew, as I did with Blago's autobiography, that I must eventually get a copy, and now need no longer dread the day. It has been suggested that I put this in Romance, Science Fiction, How To, and the Recycling Bin, but I am not going to rush into a decision. I'm hardly past the first chapter, after all.
A book reviewer who has been passing along dainties he was sent for review has sent us a collection of some of the most mournful-looking books of poetry I've seen for a while. Nature always sends rain when someone is a) making a hardboiled detective movie or b) taking pictures for covers of poetry collections. I take it a law was passed in the late 50s that nobody was allowed to write cheerful verse. Poems about dying of dread diseases, by the way, should be written only by people who are dying of dread diseases: they have insight into the question and their output will necessarily be brief. It's enough to send me online in search of blithe poetry. Anyway, none of it is up to the level of Leo Albert's epic "Sad Are the Sad", about which I have blogged before.
I am always receiving small collections of smutty paperbacks from the 50s and 60s, but I have actually turned up one which is signed by its author. This is going straight to eBay, peppered prunes: surely my customers are too innocent to be exposed to such a thing.
Hey, to judge by how much they dropped off on Saturday, they don't even risk watching the news.

Poquonnock Bridge Fire District seeks 40 percent budget increase
Groton - The Poquonnock Bridge Fire District board of directors approved a budget Thursday that calls for spending 40 percent more than the current year's budget, and requires a corresponding increase in the tax rate, according to preliminary figures provided by a board member.
Figures were not final, but the budget was expected to rise from about $4.67 million to $6.24 million, board member Peter Legnos said.
He said there could be slight changes and estimated that the tax rate would rise from the current 5.9 mills to 8.3 mills, if the budget were approved.
The fire district will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. May 16 in the Groton Senior Center for district residents to vote on the spending plan.
At 5.9 mills, Poquonnock Bridge has the highest tax rate of the nine fire districts in Groton. The next highest is the City of Groton, at 4.59 mills, followed by Center Groton, at 3.5 mills.
The budget also anticipates turning the Fort Hill station into a volunteer department. It includes $42,600 to train 10 volunteers and $77,000 to buy clothing and protective gear.
"The intention is to restore volunteers so that by attrition, as people leave, we can reduce the need for paid staff and supplement it with a good, strong volunteer organization," Legnos said.
He said the department was forced to increase the budget partly because an auditor recently cited it for inadequately funding its liabilities.
"We are essentially insolvent," Legnos said. "Our auditor told us that at the last meeting."
To begin to turn things around, the board added $1 million toward unfunded pensions. The auditor had suggested $3 million by this time.
Helen Rush, who attended Thursday's meeting, said she wants paid firefighters. Rush said they were critical in responding to a fire last year at Laurel Glen Condominiums, an 80-unit complex where she is an association member.
"Because they were here, they responded immediately, and it saved us thousands of dollars," she said.
Rush said she also believes the district needs a ladder truck. The board declined a two-year contract offer from Groton City to supply a ladder truck to all structure fires.
Board member Alan Ackley said the district still would receive mutual aid from departments when needed.
Neighbors' concerns
Fire district meetings are typically sparsely attended but Thursday night's had about 25 people in the audience, including a former Groton town councilor who said she's been upset with what she's seen in the last year.
Deb Monteiro, who served on the council from 2007 until 2011, said every two months she hears about a new problem: the ladder truck doesn't work; the board won't recognize the union contract; the board, the chief and firefighters can't get along.
"My biggest concern is that the shenanigans are going to jeopardize the welfare of people who live in this district," Monteiro said. During her second council term, she was chairman of the council's public safety committee.
Monteiro began distributing a four-page list of concerns to neighbors about two weeks ago to educate people about the issues and let the board know taxpayers are watching.
Her list contends that the ladder truck has been out of service for more than 600 days; that the board has discussed scaling back fire department response to medical calls; and that it wants to dismantle the box fire alarms. Groton has 263 pull boxes, of which 131 are on district streets.
"It just seems like the district is being driven into the ground," Monteiro said.
The board decided Thursday to begin turning over the box alarms to an alarm service so they're no longer the responsibility of the department.
The Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department has a paid staff of 28 union firefighters and runs out of two stations, one each on Fort Hill and Long Hill roads.
The district covers 12 square miles, and the stations are positioned at the east and west ends of town. Poquonnock Bridge has not had any volunteer firefighters since 2005.
Deputy Chief Curt Floyd said during an interview earlier this week that he didn't know whether a volunteer department would work.
"Is it possible? I don't know. Probably," he said. "Will it work? I don't know. I think we have to talk about it."
He said despite the issues Poquonnock Bridge is facing, public safety is not at risk.
"Ultimately, the people in the fire district are safe," he said.

Difference between revisions of "Yunnan"
Revision as of 08:03, 7 February 2014
Yunnan (云南; Yúnnán) is a province in southern China, bordering Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam as well as the Chinese provinces and regions of Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet.
Administratively, Yunnan is divided into 16 prefectures. Some of those are autonomous prefectures for various ethnic groups. For the traveller, Yunnan can be divided into seven regions:
Other destinations
Its name literally means south of the clouds. The province is one of the most diverse in China. The Northwest of the province is heavily influenced by Tibet, with whom it shares a border. The South is influenced by its proximity to Laos and Burma. The province is famed for its multitude of ethnic groups, whose diverse customs can still be seen today. Of China's fifty-five officially recognized ethnic minorities, twenty-five can be found in Yunnan: about one-third of the population is not ethnic Han-Chinese.
The official language of Yunnan is Standard Chinese (or Putonghua as it is known). The region is home to a plethora of dialects from Chinese, Tibetan and Thai language families. Yunnan is home to many minority groups who each have their own different language.
Local towns will often have their own version of Mandarin which are sub-dialects of the South-Western dialect of Mandarin common to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Despite a heavy accent, the local dialect of Chinese is very similar to Northern Mandarin with only minor regional differences in grammar and pronunciation.
Get in
By train
Until 2003, Kunming was accessible by rail from Hanoi, Vietnam via a narrow-gauge railroad built by the French. The Chinese section of this rail route has since closed for passenger transport so the best way to get down to the border is by bus to Hekou (from where you can cross the border to Lao Cai and take the train to Hanoi), or by air from Kunming directly to Hanoi. One can take a train to Hanoi however via Nanning which is a safer option.
There is a railway from Hanoi to Nanning, Guangxi, and one with some sensational scenery from Nanning to Kunming. Another rail route reaches Kunming from central China via Guiyang, Guizhou, and a third one comes South to Kunming from Chengdu, Sichuan. All of these train routes offer spectacular scenery, with long stretches of bridges and tunnels.
By air
The old airport named Wujiaba Airport has already been closed. The new one "Kunming Changshui International Airport" is located 22 km outside the urban area and the subway Line 6 to it is operational in time. Besides, there are about 6 lines of airport transfer buses leading to hotels and passenger terminals in downtown. As the airport construction is a long belt shape, some boarding gates could be as far as more than 800 meters from the security check points. Be aware of boarding time when you are visiting shops alone the long corridor.
Kunming has non-stop service from Beijing, Xiamen and other Chinese cities. There are also flights to Southeast Asia such as Seoul, Hanoi, Bangkok, Vientiane, Mandalay, Yangon, Dhaka. Laotian airlines and the consulate are both in the Camellia hotel, Kunming.
Bus, by thumb
There are multiple roads from Laos into Yunnan. It's not too hard to hitchhike, but it will take some time because of the often abyssmal road conditions and inept drivers. If coming from Luang Namtha, Laos, bus services are available to JingHong in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. From Luang Prabang, Laos, a daily bus leaves at 7:00am for around 400,000 Lao kip. It arrives at the long distance bus station in Kunming very early in the morning the next day (around 5 or 6am depending on the driver). The road conditions on the Laos side both from Luang Namtha and Luang Prabang are at times sketchy and definitely mountainous to cause some people discomfort but get smoother on the China side and are much improved from awhile ago.
From Vietnam, the border crossing is from LaoCai, Vietnam, to HeKou, China. The rail route from HeKou to Kunming remains closed, so the only public transport option is by bus. The ride lasts roughly 10 hours, tickets cost around ¥135 and departure times are as following: 8:45am, 10:50am, 12:30pm, 1:00pm, 5:50pm, 5:55pm, 6:00pm, 6:05pm.
By boat
Golden Peacock Shipping company runs a speedboat three times a week on the Mekong river between Jinghong in southern Yunnan and Chiang Saen (Thailand). Passengers are not required to have visas for Laos or Myanmar, although the greater part of the trip is on the river bordering these countries. Be aware that shipping can be halted when the river levels are to high or to low which is often the case. Due to piracy the transport on the river was closed for some time in late 2011 and early 2012.
Get around
By bus
Everything and everywhere is accessible by bus from Kunming. Dali takes about four hours, Lijiang seven, Zhongdian twelve. Generally, the transport network is built as hub and spoke, so the easiest way of getting to a smaller place is to travel to next biggest town near it, change and maybe change again. You can now reach most larger towns in Yunnan by day bus. There are a lot of night bus services as well. There is a large collection of bus schedules, taken at bus stations all around the province, at [2].
By plane
Within Yunnan, there are planes to Jinghong, Dali, Lijiang, Zhongdian as well as lesser known destinations such as Dehong, Tengchong, Wenshan and Zhaotong. A new airport of interest to tourists is under construction at Lugu Lake.
By train
Kunming is also the hub of train transport in Yunnan. Day and night trains now go both to Dali and Lijiang. Trains heading to east stops by Stone forest. Otherwise trains are of little importance to tourists inside the province.
By bicycle
Bicycle touring in Yunnan is a very good way to explore the local landscape and many cyclists from world have done this.The Dian-Zang highway(Yunnan Tibet highway) is one of the best cycling routes in China, and many cyclists gather together to explore the landscape and ethnic minority culture. You can hire bicycles in some cities, like Lijiang and Dali. It is possible to deliver your bike by train or bus. Yunnan Cycling [3] a local cycling website.
For the game of Go (Chinese: weiqi 围棋), the best Chinese stones are Yúnzǐ (云子), Yunnan stones. They are quite different from Japanese stones, and much cheaper. The flower and bird market in Kunming is a good place to pick up a set, and it is possible to visit the factory near Kunming. See the Yunzi article [4] on the go players' wiki, Sensei's Library.
Stay safe
All weapons confiscated by Customs. Keep Bags nearby in Public Places, Like everywhere else thieves can be a problem. Specially in night buses one should take care of ones belongings.
Get out

RIPLEY - No, baseball season hasn't started. The field isn't manicured and Rube's Roost looks more like a deserted building covered in snow than the Viking's baseball press box.
None of this matters to senior outfielder Tyler Pittenger. You see, "Pit" as he is affectionately known amongst his peers, has been in the weight room.
He has been watching video of his swing from last season and he is preparing to slide over to centerfield from his perch in left field to patrol the real estate departed by the graduated All-State slugger Jamin Jones.
"Tyler has been on a mission. He is setting an example for our young guys by taking advantage of our off-season program and always trying to get better. If they watch how he goes about his business in the off-season, they will continue to grow and meet their personal and team goals," says head coach Shane Casto.
"We expect him to have an exceptional season."
Pittenger, predicted to hit third in the order, has been as consistent as coal dust on a Boone County road. The 3-year starter has hit .300 the last two seasons. Last year, he ranked second on the team in doubles (4), RBI's (18) triples (1) and sacrifices (4).
The muscular athlete also doubled as the starting tailback for coach Jimmy Frashier's football team and rushed for nearly five hundred yards on a team choc-full of mobile quarterbacks (Trevor Tucker and Jake Martin) and a stable of competent young runners who all saw action.
Going into this season, Pittenger has altered his batting stance slightly. He hopes to get the most out of his swing by generating more energy and motion from his powerful legs and hips.
Coach Casto remembers one play from last season that in his eyes, set the senior slugger apart from the competition.
"He was walked and sprinted to first base as all coaches love to see. Then, he caught the catcher asleep and rounded the bag at first and slid into second safely", said Casto.
"It was a beautiful play and a fine display of good old fashioned hustle."
Pittenger began playing baseball in Charlotte North Carolina as a youth. He began with Tee ball and graduated to the Cal Ripken Youth League. His family soon moved to Ripley where he has competed in sports and enjoyed success.
Pittenger's parents, Bill and Jami, are from Beckley originally. Bill played soccer, basketball and track as a youth. Tyler's younger brother Cody is a freshman on the roster this season.
"I am excited to play on a team with Cody. He is going to be a really nice ball player for Ripley. I have no idea why I gravitated to baseball. My parents always supported me in whatever I wanted to do and so does my Grandfather."
Jack Yearego, Pittenger's grandfather, can be seen cheering his grandson on at Ray Swisher Field on cool spring evenings as the sun sets and the lights come on.
The Slugging outfielder has drawn interest from Eastern Kentucky University and is considering a post prep relationship with the diamond as an outfielder for the Colonels.
"I would love to keep playing. I haven't made a decision yet. My education is my first priority but I am keeping all of my options open this spring," said Pittenger.
Pittenger looks forward to the Viking's first practice on February 25.
"I can't wait to get on the field again. It has always been my favorite sport. I just don't want it to end. I have so many great memories in baseball."
Two of those memories that stand out to the slugger are beating a No. 3 ranked Cabell Midland team 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth last season. Pittenger had singled and advanced to second before Heath Barnette drove him in with a laser to right field.
Also burned into Pittenger's mental hard drive forever is the joy of beating a No. 10 ranked South Charleston football team 7-6 on a chilly night in Memorial Stadium just three and a half months ago. Pittenger scored Ripley's only touchdown on an off tackle jaunt to the left side where he bounced the play outside. He dove into the end zone, sliding through the pylon before being mugged by his teammates.
"I can't even begin to tell you how I felt after those games. I want us to make more memories this baseball season."
Lifelong memories will be made this spring. After all, there is fire in the "Pit".
Fire in the Pit: Pittenger heats up for final season
RIPLEY - No, baseball season hasn't started. The field isn't manicured and Rube's Roost looks more like a deserted building covered in snow than the Viking's baseball press box.

The best date you could just take me on would not be the most expensive. In actual fact, the worst date I have at any time been on was the one where the male was most obsessive about cash - shopping for expensive wine and buying it loudly to make sure that I (and everybody on the tables close by) would listen to and be impressed with how unwanted fat his wallet was. And if I have been looking for the ideal lover, ideally I�d desire to uncover a single with exactly the very same money as me: matched to your penny, in order to avoid leading to fights.The ideal day you may acquire me on would not be the most costly.

On the business, strategy, and impact of technology.
An abstract class that represents the code and data associated with a single task.
Because the class is an abstract class, you do not use it directly but instead subclass or use one of the system-defined subclasses (
LAgence Sleeveless Woven Top Clearance From China Shop Offer Online Cheap Free Shipping Eastbay RshqO
or ) to perform the actual task. Despite being abstract, the base implementation of does include significant logic to coordinate the safe execution of your task. The presence of this built-in logic allows you to focus on the actual implementation of your task, rather than on the glue code needed to ensure it works correctly with other system objects.
An operation object is a single-shot object—that is, it executes its task once and cannot be used to execute it again. You typically execute operations by adding them to an operation queue (an instance of the
S MaxMara Sleeveless VNeck Top 100% Authentic For Sale Hot Sale Online Cheap Sale Discount Limited 8HAdxUG9h
class). An operation queue executes its operations either directly, by running them on secondary threads, or indirectly using the library (also known as Grand Central Dispatch). For more information about how queues execute operations, see .
If you do not want to use an operation queue, you can execute an operation yourself by calling its method directly from your code. Executing operations manually does put more of a burden on your code, because starting an operation that is not in the ready state triggers an exception. The property reports on the operation's readiness.
Dependencies are a convenient way to execute operations in a specific order. You can add and remove dependencies for an operation using the and methods. By default, an operation object that has dependencies is not considered ready until all of its dependent operation objects have finished executing. Once the last dependent operation finishes, however, the operation object becomes ready and able to execute.
The dependencies supported by make no distinction about whether a dependent operation finished successfully or unsuccessfully. (In other words, canceling an operation similarly marks it as finished.) It is up to you to determine whether an operation with dependencies should proceed in cases where its dependent operations were cancelled or did not complete their task successfully. This may require you to incorporate some additional error tracking capabilities into your operation objects.
The class is key-value coding (KVC) and key-value observing (KVO) compliant for several of its properties. As needed, you can observe these properties to control other parts of your application. To observe the properties, use the following key paths:
Although you can attach observers to these properties, you should not use Cocoa bindings to bind them to elements of your application's user interface. Code associated with your user interface typically must execute only in your application's main thread. Because an operation may execute in any thread, KVO notifications associated with that operation may similarly occur in any thread.
If you provide custom implementations for any of the preceding properties, your implementations must maintain KVC and KVO compliance. If you define additional properties for your objects, it is recommended that you make those properties KVC and KVO compliant as well. For information on how to support key-value coding, see

This article has shed light on popular in/justice as it plays out in the conflict-ridden territories of Fizi and Uvira located in the eastern Congo. It has shown how this disconcerting phenomenon should be situated in a context characterized by different types violence that are separated by permeable boundaries and that are flexibly located on wide public-private, licit-illicit, spiritual-non-spiritual and 'from above' – 'from below' spectra. Similarly, killings related to popular in/justice are informed by multiple rationalities, and evaluated and framed in widely divergent manners. Importantly, popular in/justice is sometimes seen as justified, although opinions always tend to be divided. It may for example be seen as a deserved punishment of recidivist criminals, or believed to restore harmony, peace and order in the community or household, or be seen as a form of autoprise en charge in the face of dysfunctional state institutions.
Like in other contexts where popular in/justice occurs, in Fizi/Uvira, it is strongly related to shifting authority structures, which create both the incentives and space for groups 'to take the law into their own hands'. The waning and transformation of customary, state and religious authority has generated a climate in which the resolution of disputes, whether at the personal, family, neighbourhood or community level, has become increasingly challenging. This includes dealing with accusations of ulozi and its effects. Various factors compound this, including the decreasing capacity of customary chiefs to handle these matters, the suppression of customary courts, and the pluralisation of religious authority. The resulting general crisis in dispute processing, which is also a product of dysfunctional state-led justice and security services, has increased the appeal of seeking coercive 'solutions', which mostly occurs via soliciting private guns. Yet, in other cases, unresolved conflicts and grudges may enkindle the spread of rumors, and result in accusations related to ulozi . For those diffusing such accusations, as for those effectuating the killings, who are often youth, this constitutes a means of exercising efficacious and meaningful agency, relating to practices of order-making and social cleansing.
Such violent techniques of claiming, demonstrating and exercising socio-political agency are also a result of the growing awareness among 'the mass' of its collective power, which partly resides in its importance to politicians. This relates in particular to youth, who claim their place in local societies in an increasingly vocal, and sometimes violent, manner. In this, they are often inspired by techniques and discourses derived from the Mai-Mai imaginary, which historically plays an important role in Fizi/Uvira. Thus, they employ
and discourses of autochthony and
. Politicians have capitalised upon these developments by attempting to harness the forceful agency of youngsters for realising their own agendas. However, youth also pursue their own projects, causing manipulation by politicians to sometimes unleash a momentum that the initial instigators are no longer able to control. Popular in/justice can be seen as one of the by-products of these transformations of socio-political space, serving as a channel through which marginalised yet demographically numerous groups assert socio-political agency and engage in order-making. As such, it essentially constitutes a perverse form of 'democratisation', which draws inspiration from the behaviour of politicians, who tend to manipulate violence in order to reinforce their position.

At the same time, these practices do not merely mimic current leadership; they also comment on, compensate for and revolt against 'the authorities', seen to be at the root of multiple injustices.

If you met Mike Thoin on the street, you might not guess that this articulate, laid back and well-groomed young man is a master at his craft ~ auto body repair work. Raised in New Hampshire by a long line of family tradesmen, Mike moved to Rhode Island over eight years ago to pursue his passion for all things mechanical and to complete his specialized training at a local tech school. Upon graduation, Mike knew that success in the highly skilled profession of auto body repair could only be achieved by gaining experience, and he was willing to do whatever it took to get that experience, no matter how lowly the task.
This is where the stories of Mike Thoin and Anthony Broccoli, owner of Brock's Collision Center, literally collided. Seeing Mike's natural ability and his eagerness to "get his hands dirty", Anthony took a chance on Mike and allowed him to apprentice at his well known auto repair business in Warwick. Mike is now a full-time technician here at Brock's where he has put his unique talents and strong work ethic to work on restoring your damaged vehicles to pristine condition. Mike says: "I was brought in a family of hard workers, and when it comes to my work, I am meticulous about what I do. It's all about attention to detail and doing what is best for the customer." Just ask Anthony. He will tell you that hiring Mike was "one of the best decisions" he has ever made.
When asked about what has made this partnership work and what has made Brock's Collision Center and Auto Repair shop so successful, Anthony and Mike agree that it is because the customer's best interests ALWAYS come first here, even if it means forgoing a job. Anthony has owned and operated this shop for over two decades and he attributes his staying power to keeping this commitment to customer service and to keeping expert technicians, who take pride in their workmanship, on staff.

Sen. Colin Bonini (R-Camden-Wyoming) trounced Independent Michael Tedesco with 79.9 percent of the vote in the Senate District 16.
State Sen. Colin Bonini (R-Camden-Wyoming) easily won re-election in the Senate District 16 race by capturing 79.9 percent of the vote in his race against Independent Michael Tedesco, according to unofficial results posted by the Delaware Department of Elections for Kent County.
Bonini joked that the race "was a squeaker" at Delaware Republican Party headquarters at Dover Downs. But, in all seriousness, he did take Tedesco seriously.
"I was very blessed," Bonini said. "We had a very good turnout. I'm very thankful."
Bonini ran on his record as a fiscal conservative who historically had tried to rein in government spending.
"Obviously, Delaware is very Democratic. It's a very blue state," Bonini said, referring to losses by the Republicans at the statewide level. "But we have to focus on being the loyal opposition and putting out ideas in opposition to the Democrats' big government ideas. We're in trouble. There's no question about it. But lots of states have been flipped over the years. It just takes a lot of hard work."

Revision as of 08:18, 31 January 2009
Microsoft Outlook uses the Personal Folder File (PFF) to store e-mails, appointments, tasks, contacts, notes, etc.
Three different types of the PFF are known:
- The Personal Address Book (PAB), which contains the address book of contacts. These files have the extension .pab.
- The Personal Storage Table (PST), which contains items like e-mails, appointments, tasks, notes, etc. and is used as current and archived mailbox files. These files have the extension .pst. The PST format is also referred to as the Personal Folder File (PFF) format.
- The Offline Storage Table (OST), which contains items like e-mails, appointments, tasks, notes, etc. and is used as off line mailbox files in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange. These files have the extension .ost. The OST format is also referred to as the Offline Folder File (OFF) format.
The underlying file format of these files is the same of which the actual name is unknown but has been dubbed the Personal Folder File (PFF) format, because of its most common usage.
MIME types
The actual mime type of the PFF format is unspecified however some sources claim the following MIME types apply to this file format:
- application/vnd.ms-outlook (for PST files)
File signature
The PFF has the following file signature: hexadecimal: 21 42 44 4e ASCII: !BDN
File types
There are a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the PFF. These have the same file signature but can be identified by the version in the file header.
The PFF basically contains a hierarchy of items. The attributes of these items are defined by the Microsoft Outlook Message API (MAPI).
The PFF format allows the file to be encrypted. Two types of encryptions are currently known these are referred to as compressible and high encryption. The compressible encryption is a basic substitution cypher and the high encryption is a little more complex substitution cypher. From a cryptographic point of view this is more a way of obfuscation than a means to protect confidentiality.

- A great deal of information about the format has been documented by the libpff project, including some of the Personal Folder File format specifications and MAPI definitions.
