The Usenet, and alt.callahans in particular, is what made me realize that cyberspace is a place.
Where anything can hap pen, and the par ty nev er ends.
But now and then I'd pass a bar, drop in and take a look.
And found what I'd been seeking, in the world behind the screen.
When we're together some place in the net.
Where you can weave a fantasy and make it feel like home.
And anything can happen and the party never ends.
When we're together someplace in the net.
Some raise a glass and make a toast, and say what's on their mind.


"At deltage er det man kan kalde et fasttrack to succes, eller – som minimum – til enestående erfaringer. Der er et stort behov for nye ideer inden for velfærdsområdet, og det er her Startup Weekend Health tilbyder en unik indgang" forklarer hun.
The most exciting moment of the Startup Weekend Aarhus 2015 has come. After endless hours of intensive work, the big moment is finally here.
Are YOU looking forward to know who won this great contest?!
Before I tell you the final results, I would like to point out that all the teams were fantastic!!! Great pitches, awesome ideas and an amazing environment ! It was not easy for the judges to make a decision. I'm sure you can't wait to see which are the highlight teams of the night, so let's go straight to the point.
This was definitely one of the best moments of the weekend that everyone has been looking forward to. The feeling of joy, pride, and achievement in everyone's faces. This simply made the entire event worth it.
We had the chance to interview the Overall Winning Team to get to know what were their feelings after their accomplishment, and to share their thoughts about the weekend in general.
All the members of Dently were overwhelmed and a little surprised by the results. They were not expecting to win which makes their excitement even bigger. They said the Startup Weekend is like a 'rollercoaster' experience. There were always ups and downs, and during those 54 hours you can easily switch from excitement to frustration and vise versa. But hey, that's part of the process! Since the first pitch on friday they changed their initial idea a lot, but there were no regrets as the benefits of this transition were very much needed to develop the idea.
I would like to congratulate everyone for their devotion and hard work throughout the weekend, we made this experience more than awesome !!!

The Harvest Festival activities took place on Sunday the 6th October. The service in the morning included traditional harvest hymns and for the first time the lively "Blessed be the name of the Lord". The congregation presented harvest gifts and were reminded of the plight of others by at talk from our Vicar, Glyn, on Chistian Aid; the gifts will be given to the foodbank in Gravesend. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and produce by Hilary Moore and her team as you can see in the photographs below.
The service was followed by our traditional "world" conker championship organised by Mark Bottomley. After a hard fight against the children the competition was won by an adult for the first time – David Cornish from Australia. After that we all sat down for a hearty lunch of casseroles and puddings prepared by Philippa and her helpers.

Does Fashion Rock?
Well, if it isn't really and truly a change of seasons – it simply can't be ignored any longer. Fall fashion magazines have started clogging the mailbox; the poor postal carriers must be simply smothered under the weight of them all!
Before anything else, The Princess has a pout. It's about this, the annual Fashion Rocks supplement accompanying many of your Conde Nast September magazines, like Vogue, Lucky, Wired, and many more.
Well, actually, now it's two things we're feeling a bit peevish about because we discovered the second problem while looking for the page number to point out the first problem, which is an *enormous* typo. And we would tell you what page said typo is on, except there are no page numbers in the magazine. No page numbers. Not in the Table of Contents. Not on the pages. None. Nary a number. So now we are up to three irritants and trending down if we were to be asked. We apologize for being disturbed by the lack of page numbers, it really is just too linear of us, isn't it? (Don't even think about answering that one.)
So now we're back to the 2nd issue which was originally the first (and only) one: the typo. Lacking a page number, we can only say that it is in the first paragraph of the first story of the first person they profile, who also happens to be the superstar on the cover of the publication, Justin Timberlake. Could we not have gotten this much correct? (The sentence in the story reads "I don't how it works…" when TP thinks it is meant to read "I don't know how it works…")
We now get to the third problem, which is fairly simple: the Fashion Rocks website says "Stay Tuned." It is essentially inactive other than cycling through a lot of previous photos of earlier concerts. This is a huge event with a concert at Radio City Music Hall with performances confirmed from the following: Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Fergie, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Duffy, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, and Lil Wayne, Chris Cornell, OneRepublic, Pussycat Dolls, Solange Knowles and Timbaland, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, to name but a few.
It is the Fifth Annual concert, but the first time with all the hoopla of three network news anchors formally announcing plans for it back in July. Now, there is an AOL site that has loads of pictures and information, should that pique your interest. The Princess merely thought a website for a fundraiser of this magnitude would be a bit more well, active or something, wouldn't it? If you would like your social secretary to pencil this in, the concert is on CBS on Tuesday, September 9th. (It is actually taped on the 5th.) Proceeds from this year's concert will benefit Stand Up To Cancer.
Now that TP has that little tirade episode behind her, let's talk fashion magazines, shall we? All is not hunky-dory for at least for more than a few of them when it comes to the all-important September Fashion issues. For openers, Vogue's September issue with Keira Knightley on its cover is down by about 50 advertising pages from last year, a rather stunning development.
Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan and W are among those magazines losing traction on the advertising side of the business. On the other hand, it turns out that Elle actually boosted its advertising $$$ by a good percentage; it features Jessica Simpson on the cover.
What's Elle doing the others aren't? TP thinks it may have something to do with the cover girl selections. Last month's cover showcased Mariah Carey, before that Mary-Kate Olsen, and the month prior to that it was singing star Rihanna.
Unless we're misreading things, they seem to be trending toward a *much* younger demo. Vanity Fair and their slight shrinkage? Well, we don't know about everyone else, but here at the Prepatorium, the increasingly strident attacks on so many different things and people have become tiresome. Perhaps we're poor citizens, but we're just tired of all the yelling.
One way publishers try to goose sales a little can be with different covers, like the two Bazaar used for their September blowout, both with Tyra Banks.
We received the blue issue in our mailbox. Some designers actually spent more on magazine advertising this year than they did last year. One of those doing so is Oscar de la Renta, one of TP's favorites. Below we show two looks from his 2009 Bridal line.
That provides the perfect opportunity to showcase what has to be one of the most scenic locales for a fundraiser TP has ever seen. Ever. Seen.
We're talking about Oscar de la Renta's 8th Annual benefit for the League to Save Lake Tahoe. One arrives by boat for the party, in what appears to be a classic Chris Craft or perhaps a Century. Regardless of make, it is TDF. Totally. (TP was used to the family Century, but realizes the majority were Chris Craft.)
Is there a better locale for a fashion show that you have attended? If so you simply must tell us about it so we can share that info with the rest of the class.
We leave with something from a line TP currently doesn't have in her walk-in, and it will probably stay that way, but we definitely applaud any new designers willing to take on the fashionistas with something new. So, how about this for the ultimate in 'lighting things up"?
'Rhyme and Reason" is a design firm using light as a material to enliven white knitwear and "…create transformative fashion." Besides, one can alway multi-purpose their clothing in ways previously unexplored.
"When not being worn, the pieces double in function as lamps, avoiding the fate of hanging neglected in a closet."
As always, our thanks to Luxuo.com for their eye.
And then there's Miss Little Bow Prep, oh she of the chic taste and fast fingers, typing up a storm of preppy goodness and culturally broadening blogdom. MLBP has been exceptionally generous in bestowing upon us a Diamond Award…whoo-hoo! The rules of the Award state that one must acknowledge on their blog they are a recipient of it and then tag seven others with the Award and link to their blogs. So here we go:

The National Sports Council's Secondary Schools Cross Country relay races took place today at the National Stadium and the question on everyone's lips related to the whereabouts of defending champions Springer Memorial.
The queens of track and field in Barbados, along with Combermere and Harrison College, were noticeably missing from this year's relay competition. Efforts to reach the physical education teachers at the schools were unsuccessful.
Despite the absence of the big three, the relays were very exciting. Indeed the schools present took advantage of their no-show, primarily The Lodge School which won two out of the six races on the day.
Start of the under-15 boys relay.
In the most anticipated race of the day which required running six laps around the Stadium, the Lodge School commanded the senior boys' race with some exceptional running from Wade Garner who ran a brilliant second leg to bring the St John boys back into the race after Coleridge and Parry had a good first leg lead but were unable to contend with Garner's long strides. From there on it was all over as The Lodge School never looked back to the delight of their fans. Not even a brilliant final leg sprint by Lester Vaughan's top athlete and CARIFTA gold medallist Rivaldo Leacock could stop The Lodge boys from finishing off the race in great fashion.
Earlier in the day, the new crop of Lodge School girls sent a strong message to all competitors in the Under-13 division; that they were the ones to watch out for in the future. They won quite comfortably ahead of The Alleyne School and Coleridge and Parry. The Lodge School got off to a slow start in the race which was led by Lester Vaughan and The St Michael School from the outset. The Lodge girls, however, picked up speed and slammed the field coming on to the final three legs of the race.
St Leonard Boys' pulled off a terrific win in the Under-13 race ahead of Queen's College and Coleridge and Parry. Coleridge and Parry had a few good starts in today's cross country but were unable to win any of their races. The Under-13 boys race was no different as the St Peter boys were out front in the race but the Richmond Gap boys came back strong on the fourth and fifth legs which were run beautifully by Todd Miller.
Christ Church Foundation won the Under-15 girls race thanks to a superb run by Rosette Hoyte who has transferred from Springer Memorial. They beat the likes of Coleridge and Parry and the Lester Vaughan School. In the Under-15 male division, Alleyne School clocked a time of 19.44 to win quite easily over Coleridge and Parry in 20.01 and Queen's College in 20.06.
Rosette Hoyte made her presence felt when she came from behind to lead Foundation to victory in the under-15 relay.
The senior girls' relay was another surprise of the day after The Lodge School and Foundation commanded the first three legs of the relay and St Michael School came from behind and took over the race. The Martindale's Road girls saved their best for last and Ayanna Morgan and Jariah Hoyte did not disappoint.
Morgan received the baton on the second last lap of the race and passed most of her competitors to hand over the baton to Jariah Hoyte who was anxiously waiting on the line. Hoyte showed why she is indeed one of the top secondary school female athletes in Barbados when she produced an outstanding turn of speed to finish the race very strongly for her team.


Back in November, I wrote a blog about Mass Rest Password using OID. As mentioned there, and expected for this month, Oracle is now providing the same password change feature, but now using Java OIM API.
In this case, for develoment and test environments customers usually want something that they can control by java exceptions to avoid any interruption, or a solution where they can have multiple options amid different use-cases. Using java, particularly, will allow more possibilities from the development perspective. Let's return to the main example mentioned before, the P2T scenario. Here, critical data is coming from a production environment and is moved to a test environment and some critical data must be changed. This article provides step-by-step instructions to accomplish this task to make sure your production end-user's passwords will not be available in the target environment.
• Make sure you the OIM Design Console folder, xlclient , on the server where you are running the java code.
• Once you have finished the FA-IDM P2T process, the next step is to remove, or replace the key information that should be available only in production.
Step1) Open config.properties and update your search criteria.
NOTE: Don't remove or comment the all_except_logins unless you are sure that you want to change product admin users. Be aware that changing these may disrupt communications within the products.
Step2) Run reset_password.sh provided here.

You can't talk about great strongmen without mentioning Jon Pall Sigmarsson. He was a complete strength athlete. From competing in strongman, Highland Games, Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting, and even Bodybuilding, Jon Pall embodied his Icelandic Viking heritage in all that he did. It was the combination of his physical ability and larger-than-life personality that have left a legacy in the world of strength.
Born on a farm in Solvangur, Iceland on April 28, 1960, Jon Pall would spend most of his youth hunting seals, gathering eggs, and helping to prepare them. Like many athletes, Jon Pall lived a very physical lifestyle. Daily chores including carrying two pales (about 24 kg) full of water on a wooden, square frame back to his farm (giving him practice on the Farmer's carry even when he was older). However, he wasn't without great brains either. The family worked from dawn until dusk but after dinner, Jon Pall would spend his free-time reading books of all kinds. In particular, he enjoyed reading about strong, robust people, especially Tarzan.
This idea of physicality was ingrained in him from a very young age and it led him to consider becoming a carpenter as a career. Even as a teenager, he prided himself in his hard work ethic as well as on getting the job done quickly. The latter of which would become a key trait in his strongman career, even at the towering six foot 3 height and 294 lbs frame that he would eventually rise to.
However, his interests would change as he became exposed to the gym, spending his leisure time there. Jon Pall would begin exploring the strength sport of Olympic weightlifting but due to issues with straightening one arm he would move on to powerlifting.
It was in powerlifting that he would make a name for himself as a great showman as well as great lifter. Jon Pall was normally a quiet person but on the powerlifting platform, his bashfulness and love of the sport would shine. There would be such a contrast from the polite person giving interviews and the rambunctious competitor shouting "I am from Iceland!" or "How about that!" during competition.
Strength training would consume Jon Pall, becoming a top priority. In fact, he never drank, even when his fellow Icelandic teammates did so. Ragnheiour Sverrisdottir, the mother of Jon Pall's son, was so impressed by Jon Pall's discipline against alcohol that even she gave up drinking. She recounts that the only time he would drink was some red wine on Christmas, to which he was so ashamed of that he would try and hide the bottle from his father.
Moreover, on one account while on a date, Sigmarsson would devour an entire tray of eggs out of the fridge. His friend's would joke with him about how much he stuffed his blender with. In fact, even his food was larger than life including shakes filled with tuna, eggs, banana, and milk. In one interview, he claimed to have gone up to 20,000 calories while also stating that if he were to take less than 6,000 calories that he would lose body mass. However, he was not unfamiliar with dieting down.
"I'm a little bit crazy, when I'm competing. I have to do it crazy." – Jon Pall Sigmarsson.
While he competed in strength sports, Jon Pall Sigmarsson would also compete in bodybuilding shows in Iceland. In fact, it was due to him that the sport rose in popularity.
Sigmarsson was not the kind of person to be consumed by his losses. He kept his antics inside the sport and when he was off, it was as if he shed off that persona to take on a calmer, more receiving one. In that way he was incredible in managing his emotions and energy. Yes, he was known to stomp on the ground and roar when losing loses (a show of disappointment in himself)an event but he wouldn't despair over his. He'd take them in stride.
In one powerlifting battle with Canadian, Tom Magee, in the deadlift, Magee challenged Sigmarsson on the deadlift. The Canadian was able to hoist 1180 lbs on the deadlift. Unfortunately Jon Pall could not answer. Yet, rather than basking in despair, the ice giant ended up blowing kisses to the crowd around him.
Amazingly, Magee would go on to show real admiration for Jon Pall and the two sides of his personality. Magee described how awestruck he was of Jon Pall's personality as a true Viking in competition but also the gentleman that he was as a person.
Bystanders would be able to see how Jon Pall would push all of his emotions into his effort at an event or lift. It was this show of good character that would win Jon Pall Sigmarsson "Personality of the Competition".
Jon Pall gained even more fame through his epic rivalry with the Wisconsin powerhouse, Bill Kazmaier. It was Jon Pall's athleticism versus Kazmaier's brute strength that would clash in an iconic era of strongman in 1987. Of note was their clash in the 1987 Pure Strength Competition in Scotland.
Both were in serious shape. While doing front holds, Sigmarsson's coach screamed Kazmaier's name (an event that Jon Pall was weak in compared to Kazmaier) as if it would help eliminate Jon Pall's lactic acid. Kazmaier caught up to Jon Pall in the sack race. The weight-over-the-bar even was disastrous for Kazmaier putting Sigmarsson in the lead. However, it was the ultimate victory in the 5 Atlas stone gauntlet that Jon Pall would seal the deal with his athleticism. He would lift all 5 stones in under 30 seconds.
The sport would take its toll on both of them, as Jon Pall became injured in 1989. However, he would make a comeback in 1990 for a fourth title at World's Strongest Man. He won by a half point in the 200m dash with a 220 lbs backpack , overcoming American O.D. Wilson.
Eventually, Jon Pall would take a break from competing and focus on building his own gym and to focus more time with his son, Sigmar. Unfortunately, while training the deadlift in his gym in Iceland, Jon Pall suffered a traumatic heart rupture. On January 16, 1993, Jon Pall would pass away from his heart attack, at the young age of 32. To this day, almost 15 years after his death, Jon Pall Sigmarsson's name is echoed in strongman circles. He was such an athlete, showman, and overall person that his loss is felt to this day. From bringing bodybuilding to Iceland to empowering people of his home country, Sigmarsson remains an icon in the world of strength.

On an average, sources within Housefull Action said that the channel earns revenues of between Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000 for half an hour from teleshopping. On a given day, the channel airs teleshopping for four to five hours.
With digitization happening across metros the channel will be generating revenue through ad sales, Joshi said, "White Pixel clearly feels that it has been getting good response from the market and that people are keen to add more channels in the plans to build frequency".
To garner eyeballs, Housefull Action currently spends around Rs 20 to Rs 25 lakh towards marketing with plans to up that figure to about Rs one crore. There are also plans for on-ground activations and other marketing activities lined up for the coming months.
Joshi further revealed that apart from the movie channel, his group is planning to launch a website Housefultv.com very soon. "For the first time a movie channel will go live. Audiences can watch movies of their own choice. They can easily log in. Initially it will be free of cost.
Sources within the channel say that it has movies like Border, Sarfarosh, Shehenshah, Deewar, Tridev, Deva, Rakshak and Kalavaram in its library. According to industry sources, the acquisition prices of the movies that the channel has in its kitty so far have ranged between of Rs 5- 50 lakhs.
The management says that it will be pumping in money to strengthen its distribution as it wants visibility across all platforms. It also wants to build its visibility by targeting the trade fraternity and customers directly by giving them regular updates on the developments at its end. It has plans to acquire other interesting properties on a regular basis.
The group managing Housefull Action has firm plans to make its venture a profitable one. It is left for time to determine how successful its efforts will be.

The extreme right in Iran is the victor in the elections for the Ninth Majlis. The ruling conservative United Principlist Front and the ultraconservative Resistance Front of Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi are poised to capture nearly 80 percent of the seats in the new Majlis.
There would be a second round of voting in Tehran, where none but the top 5 candidates received more the required 25 percent of the votes to be elected. The unusual development in Tehran, and some other districts outside the capital, was the result of the two leading conservative groups splitting the votes almost equally between them.
The Ministry of Interior has estimated the turnout at 64 percent nationwide and 48 percent in Tehran. The highest turnout ever reported in the parliamentary elections was 71 percent for the Fifth Majlis in 1996, and the lowest turnout was in 2008 for the current Majlis at 51 percent. The average reported turnout in all the nine elections is 60 percent.

And now what do they want to do?
The Tavileh has been enhanced with even more mozdors to Ahga.
64% turnout nationwide? and more importantly 48 of those 64% were in Teheran? Isn't that a very low number overall? Doesn't that show the disinterest and lack of engagement of the population? Its like much of Iran's population have had the breath taken out of them, and have instead chosen to accept that Iran will forever remain an Ultra Conservative Theocracy.
Let me tell you something not more than 18% of the population came out and voted that's about 13.5 million people.As for Tehran my friend told me that he and his friends have witnessed near empty polling station with the odd few buses bringing people into those areas.
The question is where did those buses come from?
And of course you have the state media which creates stories by showing crowds of "voters"and their well rehearsed answers like "We have come to vote here against America"which anybody with any sense would know to be rubbish.
This state circus which happened on Friday shows what a bunch of liars and fabricators this fascist Islamist regime is.

The Old Man and the Sea Duck
In 1991 from June to December, Disney Comics published seven issues of TaleSpin which was based on the popular television show of the same name. I loved this TV show and it ranks high on my list of favorite afternoon animated series with Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. What I loved was that there was also a comic book to go with it with helped expand on the characters and just offer more that the TV show couldn't. After seven issues (and a four-part origin miniseries) the title was canceled along with just about every other Disney Comic title that didn't feature Donald Duck.
Well, before the title was so horribly canceled, TaleSpin #5 featured an adaptation of one of my favorite episodes, "The Old Man and the Sea Duck". It's the episode (aside from The Dick Van Dyke Show) that introduced me to amnesia. The story features Baloo (from The Jungle Book only voiced by Ed Gilbert) getting amnesia after getting into a plane crash. Kit (voice of R.J. Williams) and Wildcat (Pat Frawley, who voiced Krang in the original TMNT series) try to help Baloo regain his memory and learn how to fly again. This doesn't go very well but Baloo does get some help from a kindly old man. Does Baloo regain his memory? I'm not saying, you'll just have to read the comic.

They also didn't cancel "Walt Disney Comics and Stories", and then the whole line got transfered to Gladstone Comics, and then there were somewhere else, and now they're at BOOM! Studios.
On a positive note, they're doing a Darkwing Duck mini-series soon (which was one of my favorite shows from that programming block) so perhaps a TaleSpin one might be in the cards as well?
