They have upgraded their modem
They have spent hours on the phone with AT&T
They have had an AT&T tech person over
The internet connection to their laptop works perIfectly
The internet connection to their desktop does not work at all
It was suggested that it might be the ethernet port that has failed.
It has also been suggested that it might be a virus.
Is this a likely senario?
What other possabilities are there for this situation?
Is replaising the panel that holds the ports very difficult?

Yes for some it's difficult.

Most ethernet cards require you to install a driver so your best bet is to tell them to return the PC to the knowledgable tech friend for a checkup.

In other words, the machine needs to be checked out by a tech. If you are just starting your journey in PC repair, what you need to know won't fit in this small space. It's probably why folk get a new pc rather than deal with a dead one.

Get the exact same card and swap it. If it's a hardware issue it will instantly start to work.

By the way, you do know you can't troubleshoot without spares.

In reply to: Yes.

I called AT&T and the tech (bless his heart) said we needed a new NIC card. My friends tech friend had put a spare NIC card in the desktop box when he made it, and we are good to go. WooHoo. I get to talk to the tech person first next time. hahaha.

Five clever ways to trick out Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the go-to information source for most of us these days. Now that we've freed ourselves from the tyranny of professional experts, we can relax a bit and integrate it more easily into our everyday lives. Learn a few neat ways to make wiki-searching easier in this blog post by Rob Lightner.

Wikipedia has moved past its controversial beginnings to become an established, even respected, free source of information for everyone. It's pretty easy to use, but as with all things, we'd like it to be even easier. Here are a few tricks and extensions that can help make you the best informed person in your network:

  • It's no secret that I love the Chrome browser, and the Wikipedia Companion extension is a great example of why it's earned its place in my heart. It's dead-simple--just install it here and then click it whenever you feel the urge to open Wikipedia in a mini-browser and search away. You don't need to open a new tab or navigate away from your current window, though if you want to explore further or save for later, it's easy to open in a new tab. It's not quite seamless, but it's a definite step forward.
    Wikipedia Companion.
    Wikipedia Companion.
  • I also love keyboard shortcuts despite my sausage fingers. If you don't feel right having to mouse around to get anything done, or you're using an unfamiliar trackpad, this list of hotkeys is for you. Unfortunately, different browser/OS combos require different setups (some like Ctrl, some like Alt, and so on), so I can't just list them here, but you can quickly edit a page, open the discussion page, hit the main page, or even open a random page (don't head down that rabbit hole unless you've got an hour to kill).
    Wikipedia hotkey list.
    Wikipedia hotkey list.
  • If you are following an issue closely--maybe a hot news item or a subject you want to know more about--you can follow changes to any Wikipedia article using a feed reader like Google Reader. This is for the truly dedicated, as some articles are changed every few minutes or even more often, especially as news is happening. Still, it's handy when it's handy, and it's also a snap: Just click on "View history" up near the top right, then right-click "Atom" under "Tools" on the left bar, then select "Copy shortcut." Paste that shortcut into your feed reader, and you should start getting notifications right away.
    Wikipedia edit feed.
    Wikipedia edit feed.
  • There are times when you can't just share a link, but that's no problem. If you need a printout or you're nervous about connectivity, you can export any Wikipedia article to PDF format. Just select "Print/export" on the left sidebar and then "Download as PDF." You can also select an easily printable HTML page if you prefer.
  • Let's get back to Chrome for a minute. The WikiPreview extension helps keep you focused by bringing up a small, informative popup as you mouse over any link on a Wikipedia page. This is great for getting the gist of whatever the link connects to without having to open a zillion tabs or remember how far back your original page was.

Google Glass at the movies gets man interrogated

A man wearing Google Glass in an Ohio movie theater says the FBI pulled him out and accused him of recording the movie with his device.

What kind of world will it be? Google

There are enemies of the state, and then there are enemies of Jack Ryan.

A Google Glass wearer has told an extraordinary story of going to his local movie theater in Ohio and allegedly being accosted by the FBI for wearing his device.

In an impassioned and slightly shiver-making e-mail to The Gadgeteer, the man, who only gave his initials as T.U., said that he went to the AMC theater at the Easton Mall in Columbus in order to see the new Jack Ryan movie, "Shadow Recruit."

Google Glass wearers, beware. Federal Bureau of Investigations

He was, he said, wearing Google Glass. His wife accompanied him, Glass-less.

What allegedly transpired was macabre. He wrote that it was not the first time he'd worn Glass to that theater.

However, an hour into the movie: "A guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says 'follow me outside immediately.'"

Outside, he said, was a group of policemen. T.U. says that the man who dragged him out explained he was from the "federal service."

What was the Glass-wearer's alleged crime? He was, he said, being accused of recording the movie on his device.

He wrote:

I tried to explain that he's holding rather expensive hardware that costed me $1500 for Google Glass and over $600 for the prescription glasses. The response was that I was searched and more stuff was taken away from me (specifically my personal phone, my work phone - both of which were turned off, and my wallet).

T.U. insisted that he wasn't recording anything. The Glass was off. He wasn't believed.

I kept telling them that I wasn't recording anything -- my Glass was off, they insisted they saw it on. I told them there would be a light coming out the little screen if Glass was on, and I could show them that, but they insisted that I cannot touch my Glass for the fear 'I will erase the evidence against me that was on Glass'

T.U. said that he was happy for his Google Glass to be hooked up to a laptop to prove there was nothing recorded on it.

He wrote:

The FBI guy finally connected my Glass to the computer, downloaded all my personal photos and started going though them one by one (although they are dated and it was obvious there was nothing on my Glass that was from the time period they accused me of recording). Then they went through my phone, and 5 minutes later they concluded I had done nothing wrong.

Finally, T.U. said that the FBI left and a man from the "Movie Association" entered and told him that they'd had trouble with people recording at that theater. He says he was offered free movie passes to see the Jack Ryan movie again.

In the comments section of her piece, the Gadgeteer's Julie Strietelmeier insisted: "I talked to the author and know his friend who has frequented The Gadgeteer for years. I believe them and the story."

An AMC spokesman has now confirmed the essence of T.U.'s story:

Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America anytime it's suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen. While we're huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre. At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film. The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site. The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content.

So you see, wearing Google Glass at the movies can, indeed, attract the attention of Homeland Security. It's also banned at AMC movie theaters, by the sound of it.

This is merely the latest incident in which Google Glass has caused consternation. Some bars and restaurants have banned wearers. Only last week, software developer Cecilia Abadie won her caseagainst a ticket for driving while Glassing. Just as T.U. claimed, she said hers was turned off.

T.U. seemed merely relieved that the ordeal -- which he said lasted more than three hours -- was over. Still, he said he wished someone had told him that wearing Glass at the movie theater wasn't allowed.

As for the "federal service," he wasn't impressed with their alleged lack of understanding about Google Glass. He wrote: "I guess if they deal with petty criminals every day, everybody starts looking like a petty criminal."

Google Glass is becoming anything but petty.

Updated 11:59 a.m. PT with comment from AMC Theatres.

Samsung: Galaxy S3 sales to surpass 30 million this year

Apple, take note:The latest Galaxy class phone will add more than 10 million to its current sales number, says a top Samsung exec.

Samsung's Galaxy S3.
Samsung's Galaxy S3. Samsung

Samsung believes its Galaxy S3 is on its way to more than 30 million in global sales by year's end, according to a report from the Yonhap News Agency.

Samsung's IT and mobile unit chief Shin Jong-kyun announced the forecast to reporters today at the company's offices in Seoul. This tidbit comes on the heels of news that Samsung sold 20 million Galaxy S3 phones in the 100 days since its debut in May.

Shin also touted Samsung's new Galaxy Note 2, which was on display at last month's IFA trade show. Sales of the 5.5-inch "phablet" should be more than double that of the original Galaxy Note's 10 million, Shin said. The new Note is slated to reach consumers next month.

Global smartphone shipments in general are expected to reach 567 million this year and almost double in 2016, according to NPD DisplaySearch. And at least some of this year's growth will be driven by Apple's new iPhone, likely to be unveiled today.

"Apple's iPhone 5 will be a key product for the smartphone market in [the second half of 2012]," NPD DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase said in a statement. "Apple shipped more than 140 million phones in 2010 and 2011, so we can expect smartphone shipments to continue flourishing as users upgrade to the new iPhone."

NPD DisplaySearch

Still, the number of new smartphone shipments may be lower than originally anticipated.

NPD DisplaySearch now expects shipments of 177 million this year, down from its earlier forecast of 220-230 million. The U.S. smartphone market in particular has become more saturated, according to a recent NPD report, which found that U.S. smartphone sales inched up just 9 percent in the second quarter. And much of that growth came from prepaid phones.

But the number of replacement phones should rise as new smartphones debut.

"The timing of mobile phone contracts can also impact the smartphone market," Hayase said. "More service providers are likely to shorten mobile phone replacement cycles in an effort to boost sales."

Tune in Wednesday starting at 9 a.m. PT for our Apple iPhone event live blog.

Chiming in on the iPhone 5, NPD DisplaySearch expects the new model to sport a 4-inch screen, offering a display of 326 pixels per inch and a widescreen format of 1136x640 pixels. In-cell touch technology will integrate the touch sensor into the display panel, resulting in a thinner display. The research firm also believes Apple will use the extra space for a larger battery that requires fewer recharges.

Woz highlights celebration of Apple's history

Hundreds flock to Computer History Museum to hear Steve Wozniak and other early Apple employees tell insider stories. Photos: Museum rings in Apple's 30th Video: Wozniak reminisces

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--If there's one machine that more than any other shaped the future of the computer business, it almost surely is the Apple I.

And what do you get when you bring together four of the Apple I team members--including Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak--behind that groundbreaking computer? A lovefest.

That's what was on display Saturday at the Computer History Museum here as several hundred longtime Silicon Valley veterans and youngsters showed up for a panel discussion called "Apple in the Garage" celebrating Apple's 30th anniversary.

To be sure, that anniversary was really in April, but as part of the ninth annual Vintage Computer Festival, Wozniak, Apple employee No. 6 Randy Wigginton, Apple employee No. 8 Chris Espinosa, and longtime Apple employee and original Macintosh team member Daniel Kottke got together for an afternoon of storytelling about the earliest days of Apple and its seminal computers. (To see CNET News.com's complete coverage of Apple's 30th, including stories, video and photo galleries, click here.)

"It's amazing to me that owning your own computer was considered impossible."
--Randy Wigginton,
Apple employee No. 6

Last year, festival organizers such as Bruce Damer, founder of the DigiBarn computer museum in California's Santa Cruz mountains, celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Homebrew Computer Club. Wozniak appeared at the event as well, and to some, Saturday's event was a suitable bookend for a historical look back at the birth of personal computing.

And on Saturday, many of those in attendance were happy just to hear the four panelists tell stories about the creation of the Apple I in 1976 and of its successor, the Apple II, in 1977.

"We thought it would be a shame if we didn't have a birthday party for Apple with a cake," Damer, who conceived of, organized and moderated the panel, said at the beginning of the discussion. Indeed, he brought along a birthday cake adorned with a digital image of Apple's original logo.

But before anyone could eat the cake, the panelists took the audience down a memory lane of poignant Apple history.

Espinosa, for example, recalled how he had begun working for Apple while still in high school and that he counts himself lucky to have gotten to work alongside such technology luminaries. Espinosa still works at Apple today.

"It was really interesting being 14 and 15 years old, and having my hobby being hanging out with guys who were" changing the face of technology, Espinosa said. "I didn't really know that this wasn't the way 14-year-olds spent their high-school year."

Apple's roots
Kottke recalled how he had become friends with Steve Jobs--who was not present at Saturday's event to the dismay of some in attendance--when both were college students at Reed College in Portland, Ore. He said the two had bonded over Eastern philosophies and that Jobs had not talked about his computer work.

But upon being invited to Silicon Valley, Kottke said he visited Jobs' house--the home of the famous garage where Jobs and Wozniak started Apple--and the first thing he found was Jobs' sister watching "The Gong Show" on TV and plugging chips into Apple Is.

Wozniak said the early Apple team didn't have a telephone and that Jobs was essentially running the entire business from his bedroom.

"It was a nice, warm place to meet people," Wozniak said of the Jobs' garage.

Wigginton remembered that in those days, many of today's computer industry luminaries hung out at the Homebrew Computer Club because it was a way to have access to working computers.

"Nobody could afford their own computer," Wigginton said. "It's amazing to me that owning your own computer was considered impossible."

For his part, Espinosa joked about why he had gone to work for Apple rather than for another computer company.

"Scott Computer was too far away to work because I only had a bicycle," Espinosa said. "So Apple was much better for me because it was much closer."

He also said that when Apple was working on the Apple II, the team got its own building, though it didn't have any furniture beyond some telephones.

"When you're in a building with nothing but telephones and Steve Wozniak," Espinosa said, alluding to Wozniak's storied history building blue boxes, "you know you're going to have some fun."

But he also said the carpeting in the building was a constant source of static electricity and that when someone was walking over the carpet and touched an open Apple II case, "you fried the keyboard chip."

"So we spent an incredible amount of time," Espinosa said, "replacing keyboard chips."

Before co-founding Apple, Wozniak worked for Hewlett-Packard, and he said that in order to protect himself from claims by HP that he was profiting off work that HP owned, he got the company's legal team to run the Apple I plans by every department. They all turned the project down, he said.

And while HP was interested in the machine, Wozniak said that ultimately, the company was afraid that it wasn't polished enough to be an HP product. Later, he added that if HP had wanted it, it probably would have been a commercial failure and might have set the personal-computer business back significantly.

In the early days, Apple was putting software on cassettes, but the company didn't have automated tape duplication machines.

So someone rigged up a system in which a rack of Panasonic tape machines were linked together off an Apple II and in order to copy as many tapes at a time as possible, the team would have to simultaneously press play and record on all the tape machines and hit the return key on the Apple II to begin the process.

"Any time someone would come in and talk about something like a $25 million Bank of America credit line," Espinosa said, an Apple employee might have to "stop the meeting and go over and switch out the cassettes and put in new ones and then come back and say, 'So what were we talking about?' That's the kind of place it was."

But of course, Apple is now one of the most important technology companies in the world, and its hallmark, despite Wozniak's long-ago departure as a full-time employee, is elegant design. He hopes to lay claim to that legacy.

"I don't want credit for designing the first (personal) computer," Wozniak said. "I just want credit for designing the first good one. (And for) publicizing the fact that a computer could be attractive."

New twist in Iowa eavesdropping case

Attorney: Client taped fund-raising meeting

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa

   Story Tools

DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) -- In the latest chapter of a bizarre eavesdropping saga between Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and his GOP challenger, Rep. Greg Ganske, a lawyer said Thursday that his client tape-recorded a Ganske fund-raising meeting and then released it to Harkin's campaign because he was "incensed" by the Republican's stated willingness to wage a dirty campaign.

Lawyer Brent Rosenberg said in a statement that his client, who has asked to remain anonymous for personal and business reasons, was invited to the September 3 meeting because he contributed to Ganske's campaign earlier this year.

Ganske invited donors to the meeting to hear White House political director Ken Mehlman talk by speaker phone about the race.

During the meeting Ganske said, "You've never seen a campaign where anyone will attack him like we're going to attack him, with a smile on our face," according to Rosenberg. It was that comment, which Gankse aides have confirmed as "generally" accurate, that persuaded the man to offer the tape to Harkin, Rosenberg said.

The identity of the man, one of 24 donors at the Ganske event, has been given to local authorities investigating the incident.

Ganske campaign spokeswoman Ann Warren said in a statement Wednesday that she believes the man intended from the beginning to provide a tape of the meeting to Harkin's campaign.

"The surreptitious nature of the actions give lie to the attempted inference that his actions were honorable in attending the meeting," Warren said. "In fact, this whole episode suggests that Mr. Rosenberg's client was present for the sole purpose of making this recording and was attempting to cause injury to Congressman Ganske. We look forward to learning his identity," including whether he had a previous association with Harkin.

The imbroglio has given new life to Ganske, who until now was increasingly viewed as unlikely to oust Harkin this fall. The latest independent poll, conducted before reports of the eavesdropping episode surfaced this week, showed Harkin leading Ganske by 12 points.

Government panel: Hormone therapy 'not recommended'

Hot flashes are a symptom of menopause for which some women may seek treatment with hormone replacement therapy.

Story highlights

  • Task force: Menopausal women should not use hormone therapy to prevent chronic disease
  • Recommendation doesn't apply to women under 50 managing menopausal symptoms
  • Don't undergo therapy if you don't have symptoms of menopause, task force says

The task force that sparked controversy with its breast cancer screening recommendations a few years ago -- and PSA prostate-cancer screening pronouncements last week -- is weighing in on hormone replacement therapy. But this time the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations are remarkable for their lack of controversy.

The group says menopausal women should not use hormone therapy -- estrogen either alone or combined with progestin -- primarily to prevent chronic disease.

"In the face of pretty good evidence, the balance of potential benefits and potential harms leads us not to recommend the use of these therapies," said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, a task force member.

The proposed recommendations do not apply to women younger than 50 who have undergone surgical menopause or who are taking hormone therapy to manage menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, according to the panel.

"No shock there," said Dr. Carolyn Crandall, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "I don't think the recommendations are surprising at all."

The question used to shape the draft recommendations, which were posted online Tuesday, is whether hormone therapy should be used by menopausal women to prevent a hypothetical future health event such as heart disease or cognitive decline, Bibbins-Domingo said.

"These are women who don't have disease, who don't have menopause symptoms, who are using the therapies only to prevent something that might happen in the future," said Bibbins-Domingo, an associate professor of medicine, epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. "There is no evidence that the therapies would prevent those conditions."

Years ago, in addition to providing relief for menopause symptoms, hormone therapy was thought to offer protection against cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis and dementia, so doctors routinely prescribed it to otherwise healthy women. That practice fell out of favor about 10 years ago when a large clinical trial -- the Women's Health Initiative -- designed to confirm these hypotheses was halted early.

Women involved in that trial were actually at higher risk for many of the problems that hormone therapy was supposed to prevent.

Data from the Women's Health Initiative and other large-scale trials suggest estrogen plus progestin therapy moderately reduces risk for fractures but increases the chance of developing strokes, dementia, deep vein thrombosis, urinary incontinence and gallbladder disease.

For patients taking estrogen only, the picture is similar. As with combination therapy, the risk of fractures is lower, but there is an increased risk of stroke, gallbladder disease, deep vein thrombosis and urinary incontinence.

"Another apparently paradoxical finding is that estrogen and progestin impart a small increase in the risks for developing and dying from breast cancer, whereas estrogen alone appears to slightly reduce these risks," according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force document outlining the draft recommendations.

Researchers detected the lower risk of breast cancer after 11 years of follow-up; those findings and other data were enough to trigger a new look at hormone therapy research, Bibbins-Domingo said.

"It's not that the findings are new," said Crandall, who is not part of the task force. "But they give a practical sense about how to counsel someone about the rare but serious harms of taking hormone therapy."

The new recommendations are based on a review of data, published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, covering nine clinical trials over the last decade.

The standard of care shifted for many doctors after the Women's Health Initiative trial was halted, but updated recommendations from the task force are important because many patients still have questions, and many doctors are reluctant to let go of old prescribing habits, Crandall said.

As with any set of sweeping recommendations, there are people for whom the weight of risks versus benefits is more complicated.

One of those groups is younger women with menopause symptoms, whose risks may be different.

"We use menopausal hormone therapy for women with moderate to severe hot flashes interfering with their lives," Crandall said. "It's a subjective thing. Only women can say how disturbing is this to me."

Youth -- or a person's specific risk factors for disease -- may also affect their risk for developing heart disease and dementia.

"The balance of benefits or harms may be different with young women, so you can't say this absolutely applies to younger women making hormone therapy decisions," Crandall said.

The panel acknowledges research gaps when it comes to taking hormone therapy for chronic illness, particularly as it relates to this younger group of women. The average age of women participating in the Women's Health Initiative was 64 years, well past the age that menopause usually begins.

The task force recommendations "are aimed at older women, who are generally healthy asking, 'If I take a pill a day, will I prevent a heart attack?' " Crandall said.

Many doctors have already greatly limited how they apply the treatment, and the risks of hormone therapy are well-known among professional organizations.

On its website, the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists warns against hormone therapy for preventing cardiovascular disease. The North American Menopause Society website stresses the same cardiovascular risks and advises that a woman's personal risk factors should play a role in deciding whether to take hormone therapy.

"The bottom line is clinicians must take all clinical parameters into account for the patient and prescribe the lowest dose for the shortest duration of time," said Dr. Joseph Sanfilippo, vice chairman of reproductive sciences at Magee-Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh, in an e-mail to CNN.

The task force is inviting public comment about its latest recommendations until June 26. Then it will decide whether to make the draft recommendations final.

AllPolitics - TIME This Week

Class Act

TIME Magazine

By Calvin Trillin

(TIME, February 3) -- I hope the press has finished its spasm of self-flagellation over the possibility that Paula Corbin Jones was not taken seriously because reporters with Ivy League airs disdained her clothes and hairstyle and accent. I was not looking forward to inspecting everything I've written in the past few years for signs of class bias.

It used to be that the accusations against the press having to do with class made us out to be people who wanted to stir up "class warfare" by pointing out, say, how little some millionaires pay in taxes. Being labeled radicals wasn't really so bad, but being labeled snobs sort of hurt.

A few defensive reporters tried to come up with some other reason for not having aggressively followed up Paula Jones' accusation against Bill Clinton--the fact, for instance, that it was initially packaged by right-wing Clinton opponents at a time when it would not have been surprising to hear collectors of Clinton atrocities accuse him of having engineered the Black Sox scandal of 1919.

Some of my more self-critical colleagues must have started doing computer searches through all the stories they'd written, looking for sneers at trailer parks or disrespectful references to Dolly Parton. It seemed to be only a matter of time before some self-appointed guardian of professional standards stopped around to inquire whether I had ever, say, dissed a supermarket tabloid for reasons of class.

"On the unfortunate matter of Dick Morris' book, for instance," the press guardian would say, "if Random House paid Dick Morris for having taken notes in secret on the person he was working for and the Star paid Sherry Rowlands for having taken notes in secret on the person she was working for, why is Random House treated so much more respectfully in the press than the Star is?"

I dreaded that particular question partly because I hadn't been able to think of a convincing answer beyond pointing out that Random House had paid a lot more than the Star and in a capitalist society a large sum of money brings a certain amount of respect, even if it is spent on a book that turns out to be a turkey.

I also dreaded being asked about the absence of disdain in the press toward the publishers that, according to one report, made competing offers to Morris after his involvement with Sherry Rowlands was revealed--inspiring some writers I know to imagine that if they ever got caught with a hooker in a cheap motel they'd be able to say to their wives, "I was only trying to get a bigger advance."

Rather than sign with a publishing house that might have wanted to pay him for the notoriety of his sexual escapades, Morris stuck with the publishing house that was paying him for betraying his employer. We may have reached the point at which such a choice serves as a definition of rectitude.

Unlike Morris, snobs have been reminded, Paula Jones has not exploited her contact with President Clinton beyond one jeans plug. These days, one jeans plug hardly counts. If Bruno Hauptmann were alive, he would do one jeans plug.

In fact, I would venture to say that in Paula Corbin Jones' place a Cabot or an Astor might do one jeans plug. So it would be a relief to all of us if we could just agree that class had nothing to do with this.

Monsters & Creatures

Show Archive
Date: Monday - November 30, 2009
Host: George Noory
Guests: Neil Arnold, Douglas Horne, Jim Marrs

Folklore researcher Neil Arnold discussed his study of a surreal safari of monsters including winged humanoids, paranormal 'manimals,' hellhounds, Asian vampires, and other creatures. He has classified such creatures as "zooforms," a term first used by Jonathan Downes to connote entities or apparitions which seem to adopt an animal form, in contrast to cryptozoological specimens, which are flesh and blood but haven't been officially discovered yet. Zooforms which may reside in an astral realm, could have a need to be seen by humans, or be part of the human psyche, he explained.

Such entities may have always been with us-- in ancient Greece, there was a whole host of mythological creatures such as the minotaur-- but today, we call them by different names, said Arnold. America is a particularly rich breeding ground for such reports, with Mothman and the Jersey Devil among the most well-known, he noted. Sometimes reports of a strange creature in a town can snowball, with strengthening belief leading to increased sightings, he added.

Among the creatures he highlighted:

  • Monkey Man-- a weird apparition resembling a monkey, said to bite the skull of victims in India.
  • Flying Heads-- reportedly terrorized people in Chile.
  • Bunny Man-- said to roam parts of Virginia, killing local rabbits and wearing their skins as costumes.
  • Owl Man-- seen by teenage girls in the U.K. near an old church; had the arms & legs of a human, huge talons, burning red eyes.
  • Goatman-- a hominid described as half-goat/half-man by Maryland residents; could be the result of a scientific experiment gone awry.

Arnold is working on a new book about the 'monsters' of London, featuring such entities as the Highgate Vampire, a 7-8 ft.-tall dark entity, with red eyes.

JFK Assassination Cover-Up

Last hour guests, author Jim Marrs and analyst Douglas Horne spoke about evidence for a government cover-up of medical evidence in the JFK assassination. Fabrication and destruction of evidence was carried out within the US government, said Mars, and Horne outlined several different areas of fraud. These included numerous destroyed or missing X-ray images, as well as alterations. The Zapruder film was also doctored, to cover up the exit wound, Horne commented.

Diagnosing ASP.NET views compilation with FrontMan

In today’s post I will show you how we fought a pesky compilation problem with Razor views in our ASP.NET MVC application.

In today’s post I will show you how we fought a pesky compilation problem with Razor views in our ASP.NET MVC application. One of the parts of our application is an email-sending engine which uses Razor templates to create message bodies. After deploying this app on IIS we started receiving following errors (unimportant parts are stripped):

Line: 0\\t Col: 0\\t Error: Metadata file \u0027ev-server/dev2/appname/bin/EmailSystem.Client.DLL\u0027 could not be found

// \u003cauto-generated\u003e
//     This code was generated by a tool.
//     Runtime Version:4.0.30319.235
//     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
//     the code is regenerated.
// \u003c/auto-generated\u003e

The first line suggests that it’s a compilation problem, but we didn’t really know which exact part of the application was throwing it. I thought that having a full compiler command line might help us. Unfortunately gathering it from ASP.NET application is not so easy.

How ASP.NET compilation works?

By default ASP.NET framework uses csc.exe to compile .cs files in order to execute logic implemented in them. You may now wonder what .cs files I am referring to as probably you don’t have any of them in your IIS web application path (unless you’re using the App_Code folder). So now have a look at all the files in your Views folder and imagine that each one of them eventually becomes a .cs file with some auto-generated name. Every time an ASP.NET application renders a page it first checks whether the given page has been compiled and thus can be executed. If not ASP.NET framework calls an interpreter (such as RazorTemplateEngine) to create a .cs file out of .cshtml (or .aspx, .asmx etc.) and then compiler to generate the .dll file. You may easily observe that by using Process Monitor:

Let’s have a look at an example csc.exe command line call from ASP.NET:

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /noconfig /fullpaths @"C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\p0ulcxtl.cmdline"

As you can see all compilation arguments (probably because of their length) are passed to the compiler using a temporary file. This file is then removed after csc.exe process finishes. Now imagine that something goes wrong here (as in the case presented at the beginning of this post). You probably would like to know what arguments were exactly passed to the compiler and why did it fail. And this is how FrontMan was bornSmile |

FrontMan to the rescue

FrontMan is a simple application that can start other processes, a bit like the start.exe command. What’s special about it is that it additionally logs the starting process arguments and if any of the arguments contains a path to a file, a copy of this file will be created in the FrontMan output folder. Let’s have a look how it works with csc.exe and simple Test.cs C# file:

PS temp> .\FrontMan.exe csc /debug+ .\Test.cs

The process has exited.

If you now open c:\Users\<your-login>\AppData\Local\Temp\frontman\20130128_195337.547_csc\, you should see two new files: arg_2_Test.cs and callargs.txt. The first one is a copy of Test.cs at the time when it was compiled and the second one contains our command line: "csc" "/debug+" ".\Test.cs". You probably noticed procdump messages in the above output. That’s another FrontMan’s feature – it does not start the requested process directly, but runs it under procdump. By default FrontMan configures procdump to create a full memory dump on an unhandled exception, but this behavior might be easily changed to any other suported by procdump. Having procdump attached to a process opens a possibility for FrontMan to be a system-wide process sniffer. This can be achieved through Image File Execution Options. By adding a following key to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\csc.exe]

we configure FrontMan to log any csc.exe calls in the system, including ASP.NET compilations. Fortunately you don’t need to manually edit the registry. Running FrontMan -install csc.exe from the elevated command prompt will create the needed keys for you. On contrary running FrontMan -uninstall csc.exe will remove them from the registry.

Let’s see how it works in our ASP.NET example. If you have installed FrontMan for csc.exe, in your process tree you should see w3wp.exe that calls FrontMan which then runs procdump, which finally runs csc.exe. In your temporary path there should be a new folder created named frontman with subfolders for each csc.exe call. Find the interesting one and open it. In our case the callargs.txt contained:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /noconfig /fullpaths @C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\pbjs1i2y.cmdline

and arg_3_pbjs1i2y.cmdline:

/t:library /utf8output /R:"\\dev-server\dev2\appname\bin\EmailSystem.Contracts.dll"
  /R:"\\dev-server\dev2\appname\bin\EmailSystem.Client.dll" /R:"System.dll"
  /R:"System.Core.dll" /R:"System.Web.Extensions.dll" /R:"Microsoft.CSharp.dll"
  /R:"ev-server/dev2/appname/bin/EmailSystem.Client.DLL" /out:"C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\pbjs1i2y.dll"
  /debug- /optimize+  "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\pbjs1i2y.0.cs"

One of the EmailSystem.Client.dll references seemed to be broken and unnecessary. After seeing this command line I easily found a place in code where the compiler was incorrectly called.

To conclude, I hope that after having read this post you will find a place for FrontMan in your diagnostics toolkit. For instance it might provide some help when diagnosing Windows Service start failures (that will be probably a subject of another postSmile |  ). As usual this tool is available for download at my .NET Diagnostics Toolkit project page. Before using it make sure that you fill its configuration file with valid settings (like procdump path) – each setting has a comment so you should easily see what it does. Any comments and ideas how FrontMan might be improved or where else it can be used are highly appreciated .

This Little Code just gives you hands on trick to access Webservice using Javascript.

I had knew that webservice can be accessed by Javascript but haven't thought that much eeasy way. Have a Look at it.

Using the Code

Lets Start Step By Step.

Step 1

Add Script Manager Instance to your ASPX Page, Here i have specified path of my webservice (QuoteService.asmx).

<asp:ScriptManager ID="_ScriptManager" runat="server">
                <asp:ServiceReference Path="~/QuoteService.asmx" />

Step 2

Add Below Mentioned Attribute to your code behind of Webservice (in my case QuoteService.cs)

[WebService(Namespace = "")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]

And Write Some method to your Webservice Code Behind Class . ( In my case QuoteService.cs)

public string GetQuote(int intVar)
return (intVar + 6).ToString();

Step 3

Call a Function from Javascript and define the Return value handler of function.

function LookUp() {
            QuoteService.GetQuote(2, OnLookupComplete)

Define result Handler Function as Depicted in above code

function OnLookupComplete(result) {

So Guyz We are done with our Tricks.

Points of Interest

I just was thinking it will be to time taking concept to calling webservice from javascript but as i searched through net . i found very simple solution, so i thought may it will be useful to you also in some part of code.

Eclipse gives a warning for the above code.
Type safety: The cast from Object to HashMap<String,Object> is actually checking against the erased type HashMap

How will we return something of object type in generics without getting the warning ...

I'm not sure why, but I believe that you need to replace <String, Object> with <String, ?>

Hai Basha,

Web server mainly used to handle request/response type applications without much complex business logic.Apache is a webserver.It can run static contents like html,jpgs etc.

Tomcat is a web container.It can run normal html,servlets,and JSPs also but not EJB's.

Application server is the one which can do much more complex applications/business logic and provides services like transaction management,messaging persistence,connection pooling etc directly.All these services are add on services with all the J2EE complaint apllication servers.They can run EJB's also.Jboss is an example for application server.

The value of an idea lies in the usage of it.

My view has been that the web server does presentation stuff - HTTP, HTML, Servlet/JSP - and the app server does business stuff in EJBs and POJO. I like this point of view because I can use the app server without a web server, say for a fat client.

Our engineering guys say the web server is HTTP only, no application Java. A web server plug-in directs Servlet/JSP calls to the app server where all Java code runs. So Servlet/JSP/EJB is all app server to them. They like this point of view because all the java stuff is in their WebSphere deployment.

It took us about a month to realize we weren't always talking about the same thing. I try not to say web server or app server any more. I say HTTP server, servlet container and EJB container. Even that's a bit fuzzy because all three have some HTTP capacity.

Bottom line - if you're talking web server and app server with someone you don't know, stop and clear up what's what before you go on.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

50 Things You Should Stop Buying & Start Making

advertisement - learn more

You may be realizing that most conventionally made products out there contain a lot of toxic chemicals. Not only that, many of these products are harmful to our environment in a number of ways.

Making things yourself not only saves you money and helps the environment, but it lets you know where your products are coming from and exactly what has been put in them.

You can make anything from food items to personal care and cleaning products, all in very simple ways.

Remember: Whenever you can, use organic foods and ingredients in recipes. Use sea salt instead of table salt. Use healthy oils like coconut oil and raw cane sugar or honey as a sweetener instead of refined white sugar. Choosing the cleanest ingredients is the best choice for your mind and body.

Pete Townshend And Ronnie Lane – Unsurpassed Masters / Rough Mixes (Audiofon AF19)

Unsurpassed Masters / Rough Mixes (Audiofon AF19)

(59:30):  Till The Rivers All Run Dry,  Heart to Hang Onto (backing track), Heart to Hang Onto, Nowhere to Run, Hear Me Clearly (instrumental), Misunderstood (backing track), Misunderstood, Keep Me Turning (backing track), Keep Me Turning, Silly Little Man #1, Silly Little Man #2, My Baby Gives It Away, Catmelody, April Fool, Street in the City, Till The Rivers All Run Dry

Recorded during a sabbatical within The Who & during a lull in both Ronnie & Pete’s respective careers – Pete having finished his final Who tour before Keith Moon’s premature demise & Ronnie on his uppers after Slim Chance had folded & the couple of rehearsals that he had attended with the newly reformed Small Faces having faltered – the two erstwhile drinking buddies finally sobered up enough to realise that they could use this time to record together & that they both knew enough people within the pantheon of rock to call upon if they needed help with these sessions.

Leaving behind his amps, feedback & sprawling, balls out rock that had filtered throughout his recording career thus Pete set about writing his calmest set of tracks for a good long time creating a relaxed, adult, warm atmosphere together with the rakish charm of Ronnie’s heart warming, exuberant sing alongs.

Indeed it’s believed that Ronnie may have been the catalyst that roped in the bucolic rumble of Pete’s usual fare ( although this also came about during Pete’s heavy drinking phase where he was accustomed to waking up in garbage skips such was the ferocity of his boozing ) & Pete may have turned a little more introspective as a result. The album that was released is a switch between moodily introverted ( a la Jackson Browne’s “Late For The Sky” ) to part bar room stomp – the feeling of a boisterous night in rubs shoulders with a set of songs that are akin to a red eyed, breathless morning.

The two protagonists’ voices shine through in their own lyrics most prominently ( Via Ronnie’s “Jonny Boy propping up the bar” in Heart To Hang On To to Pete’s line about “The Cambridge Raper” in Street In The City. ) This disk features lost outtakes, extra studio chatter & early unpolished versions of the tracks that would appear on the album in wonderful, studio soundboard clarity. Listening to “Street In The City” you can hear Pete press against the microphone with a lewd intensity. Unfortunately the album was given next to no promotion on release & despite becoming Rolling Stone magazines album of the year only sold moderately well but is still acclaimed as a warm favorite to those that heard it.

The mood & feel of the album is set perfectly from the leading track, “Till The Rivers All Run Dry”. A down home county tinged track – Or imagine Britain’s version of a country track – that spins on a axis of world weary harmonies, delicately strummed guitars & a skiffleish bass line. The piano in the background recalls John Cale’s work on Nick Drake’s Bryter Layter & would prove to be one of the only real duets on the album proper. The harmonies on this version lighter & less deep than the finished article.

It’s also missing some of the guitar parts that were added on its later version. “Heart To Hang On To” is very obviously a Townshend track from the start, the peal of the acoustic guitar sound having a resounding Who style along with the later chug of the electric guitar & the drum patterns forming an almost acoustic rejoinder to a missing “Tommy” era track. In it’s first incarnation of instrumental track only it brings out various parts that are smoothed over by the vocals but is without the rockier guitar work that Pete would bring to the table as the track progressed in style.

“Nowhere To Run” is preceded by laughter & then a countdown from Lane in to another country flavoured stomp featuring banjo & harmonica. A breezy fireside nod-along thats part Small Faces, part Byrds. “Hear Me Clearly” is an instrumental that seems to come from a wedding or a cruise ship – bouyed along by tough drumming lines & a cool little organ line. It sounds nothing like Townshend’s previous work so was possible conceived as an after thought jam to become a song proper but never quite made the grade.

“Misunderstood” is a typical Townshend style song – a gulping thud for percussion, strummed guitar lines of the style that only Pete seems to be able to conceive & a crazed, bluezy harmonica thrown in the mix. The lyrics are the vinegary, testy Townshend affair that would seem to be autobiographical – again, introspective & concerned but with the briefest hint of bravado & knowingness. The backing track loses nothing but the lyrics & the harmonies “Keep Me Turning” is Townshend by numbers – grand of chorus & full of beatific guitar lines this may be a show of the closest that Pete gets to his bands histronics on this album. The Backing track on the disk also features vocals but these are ever so slightly lower in the mix as not to make any difference at all & are missing a few metered guitar licks & stereo panning effects.

“Silly Little Man” didn’t appear on the original version of the album but was included on the 2006 remaster – A Lane compostition & another bar-room boogie it appears here with 2 versions.  Lane’s vocal is almost buried by the rest of the instrumentation but the lyrics don’t seem to warrant much speculation anyway. The second version of the track – recorded 4 months later – fixes this a little by bringing the vocals up slightly but also adds saxaphone to the blend to enhance the feel of the track but it cuts off before it’s natural end – evidently for the fact that they knew it wouldn’t appear on the finished cut.

“My Baby Gives It Away” is a speedballing, Townshend track with a brilliant backhanded – compliment lyric. Charlie Watts accomponies with a rock solid & thunderous back beat that, while it’s not Moon-esque it swings in all the right places & is descreet enough to drive the track along without interfearence.

“Cat Melodian” ‘Cat Melody’ but renamed as originally written on the tape box – an uptight, horn riding boogie woogie by Lane. One of the albums stronger tracks and the second to featlure Charlie Watts & his old band member, Ian Stewart, on a great rag time piano. “April Fool” featuring Dobro by Eric Clapton glides along lythely in a fine ‘Faces fashion. Lanes voice is reminiscent of Rod Stewards at times but with out the scurl & throat of the big haired rocker. It’s yet another delicate moment to the album & sounds like one of the better ‘comedown’ moments.

“Street In The City” the big single from the album & rightly so – adorned by busy strings & featuring some of Townshend’s best waspish lyrics about falling window cleaners, outmoded hair styles & falling knickers. It’s a deep, louche track with hints of the blues experimentation that Pete would fall in to when playing the Who’s “My Generation” out live until Townshend recalls for breath, throws in a Spanish styled guitar only to race towards the frantic end. It all flows together like a slightly skewed – birds eye view of a normal British town, anywhere at anytime.

The final “Till The Rivers All Run Dry” bookends the collection perfectly. Recorded 3 months after it’s original counterpart it begins with garbled studio chatter, laughter then runs through pretty much the same way but with a deeper harmony line than the first version, more harmonies that run throughout the solo & more electric guitar overdubs. Perhaps the sweetest thing is Audiofon have elected to leave in the abrupt end to the track & even the sound of the tape ending as we run to the end of the reel. It gives the recording an authentic feel like you’re in the studio actually listening to the rushes of the day.

The covers are rather splendid – featuring the original, unadorned U.K. sleeve featuring various vintage cigarette cards of the kind that might be framed & displayed in a local hostelry. With Audiofon’s newly used casual font adorning the track listing on the back along with the familial picture of Pete & Ronnie sat back to back on a tree stump – this also appears in a larger size in the case back. Liner notes are amended & uncredited from the excellent Lostgrooves blog adding a small addendum at the end for the specific details of this disk. The only gripe would be the spelling of the ‘Stones drummers name – Who is ‘Charly Watts’?

This is an wonderful addition to the album & as it was a relative one off ( not counting the Meher Baba private pressings ) then highlights the working of this tight, musical friendship and as Audiofon have used the master tapes for this release – there really is no better sound.

If you liked this review, buy me a cup of joe. (Suggested: $3 a shot or $7.5 for a double)

  1. It is a shame Rough Mix has lapsed into relative obscurity. I never heard of it until Audiofon released this title. I bought the official release on Hip-O and have been listening to it obsessively. Unsurpassed Masters offers interesting rough mixes of the tracks and is a nice companion.

    My father, Charles Burke, invented plastic Flexo Lures in the 50's. He was left-handed and started out by engraving the molds by hand in the utility room of our home in Traverse City, MI. My mother and a friend helped package and ship out orders in those early days. He later expanded to several locations before settling on S. Airport Road. The Mickey Minnow was named after me and the Minnie Minnow after my aunt. The business was sold to Bing McClellan, McClellan Industries. My father passed away in 1969.

Fundamentals of Space Medicine
by Gilles Clément
About 1200 human space flights have been completed to date, including more than 500 astronauts from various countries, for a combined total presence in space of about 90 years. The 21st expedition crew is currently in residence aboard the International Space Station, continuing a permanent presence in space that began in 2000.

During that time, investigations have been conducted on both humans and animal models to study bone demineralization, muscle deconditioning, space motion sickness, changes in immune function, crew and crew-ground interactions, postflight orthostatic intolerance, and the medical issues of living in a space environment, such as the effects of radiation and the risk of developing kidney stones.

Results of these investigations have led to fundamental discoveries about the adaptation of the human body to the space environment. Gilles Clément has been active in this research. This book presents in a readable text the findings from life science experiments conducted during and after space missions.

"Fundamentals of Space Medicince, 2nd Edition" looks at the future of human space flight and what comes next. For the next ten years, the ISS will be a fully operational material and life science laboratory with a permanent crew of six astronauts. A new spacecraft named Orion will soon replace the Space Shuttle for transporting humans to the ISS and later to the Moon and Mars. However, many physiological, psychological, operational, and scientific issues need to be solved before establishing manned Moon and Mars bases. Finally, the emerging commercial sub-orbital flight capability captures the imagination of both the public and the scientific community.

This book also identifies the showstoppers that are foreseen for all these space missions, and what do we need to learn to understand fully the implications and risks for space explorers and space tourists.
