|By Ardamir. (Help; more articles)
Berúthiel was a Queen of Gondor in the early part of the Third Age. She was the wife of King Tarannon Falastur, and was noted as being "nefarious, solitary, and loveless". It is therefore of no surprise that she and Tarannon produced no heirs.
[edit] History
Berúthiel was a Black Númenórean[1], who were also survivors of the downfall and often at war with the Dúnedain of Gondor. Most of the Black Númenóreans lived to the south of Gondor in the Umbar and other colonies. Presumably, Berúthiel was born in one of these southern areas.
Due to the hostility between the two races, Falastur's reason for marrying her is unclear, but he brought her to live with him in his house by the Sea near Pelargir. She hated Pelargir (loathing the smell of the sea, and fish, and the gulls[1]), however, and dwelt in the King's House in Osgiliath instead. There she decorated the courtyard with strange and disturbing sculptures but kept the inside of the house mostly bare. She herself wore dark, drab clothing and "hated all making, all colors and elaborate adornments".
Berúthiel loathed cats, but they became attracted to her for precisely that reason. They followed her around, and eventually she took advantage of their company by enslaving and torturing them. In total she had ten cats, nine black and one white. Berúthiel set the black cats to spy on the Men of Gondor and the white cat to spy on the black ones. She managed to learn many dark secrets about the realm and its people by conversing with them and "reading their memories". These cats were infamous among the Gondorians, but they dared not touch them; however, Men would curse whenever they saw one pass by them.
Eventually, Tarannon exiled Berúthiel from Gondor due to her deeds and erased her name from the Book of the Kings. He sent her and her cats back to her southern homeland on a ship that "was last seen flying past Umbar with a cat at the masthead and another as a figurehead on the prow".[2]
[edit] Legacy
Despite the erasure of her name from Gondor's records, Berúthiel and her cats were so notorious that they were held in the memory of Gondorians for centuries; Aragorn alluded to them more than 2,000 years after her death.[3]
[edit] Etymology
The name Berúthiel is Sindarin. It seems to mean "Angry Queen", incorporating ber(eth), 'queen, spouse'; rúth, which means 'anger'; and the feminine suffix -iel. Since the Black Númenóreans did not use the Elven tongues, this title was probably given to her by the Gondorians and is not her real name.

so I'm on an Ubuntu 10.4 server with zimbra 6.0.10 trying to migrate existing MS exchange mailboxes from an sbs 2003 server.
I'm using this guy here ZCSExchangeMigrationWizard-6.0.10_GA_2692.exe.
But he's not making it easy so far..the error is:
RPC Error:- WinHttpSendRequest failed
I don't consider the ssl certificate complainings as an error :-).
The server is called mail (mail.mydomain.com) and I can send and receive mail (in and extern).
I have a split dns setup on the same server since I am on a private network.
The dig tests seem to work fine; I get similar results as here.
The migration wizard fails at the very last step which is the actual conversion of the user's MS exchange mailbox.
ps: this is my first try at ZCS.
many thanks,

Each round, your character gets one Standard Action, one Move Action, and one Opportunity Action.
You may sacrifice your Standard Action to get an additional Move Action.
You may sacrifice your Standard Action or your Opportunity Action to get a Swift Action.
Examples of each action type at work:
Standard :
- make a normal attack
- cast a normal (combat) spell
- charge
- drink a potion
- lots more, I'm sure!
Move :
Move actions really are supposed to be fairly restrictive, and hard to trade away for anything other than movement. Hopefully, along with the elimination of the full attack system, this will encourage a game where combat is quite dynamic.
- move up to your speed
- "shift" one hex without provoking opportunity attacks
- stand up from prone
- reload a light crossbow
Move actions really are supposed to be fairly restrictive, and hard to trade away for anything other than movement. Hopefully, along with the elimination of the full attack system, this will encourage a game where combat is quite dynamic.
Opportunity :
- make an opportunity attack against an opponent who provokes one
- cast a defensive-reactive type spell
- use a number of defensive-reactive abilities, similar to Tome of Battle Counters
Swift :
- draw or retrieve an item or weapon
- make an extra attack using a special ability that represents attacking faster than normal
- cast a spell that is supposed to be extra quick
- change your active stance (if any)
- change your active spell seed (if any)
- change your active aura (if any)
- lots more
Free : I don't have any examples in mind at the moment of things that should be free actions, but I'm sure it will come up. In the meantime, one important thing I really need to decide is whether anything designated as a "free action" should be usable only on your turn, a la 3.5e, or whether it should be usable at any time a la 4e.
Note: No full-round actions. I won't miss the iterative attack system. I will have to figure out what to do with some other full-round actions, however.
Note that a few select special abilities will probably be able to change this fundamental action economy in some significant if specific ways:
- The Mobility feat will allow you, when you move normally, to also perform a fairly mundane task that would normally require a Swift action, such as drawing a weapon or switching your active stance or aura.
- There will probably be some special ability (perhaps not available at low levels) similar to 3e Combat Reflexes, which gives a character a second Opportunity Action each round, which can only be used to make an opportunity attack.
While I'm open to feedback in general, the main question I want to ask the community is this: should Opportunity Actions be considered part of the turn before they are taken, or part of the turn after they are taken? That is, when I start my turn, should I:
(A) definitely have the ability to use a Swift Action (in addition to Standard + Move), but if I do use a Swift Action, I won't be able to use any Opportunity Actions until a full round passes; or
(B) only have access to a Swift Action if I haven't recently taken any Opportunity Actions (or if I give up my Standard)? Then, as soon as my turn ends, I'm automatically able to make any Opportunity Action that comes knocking?
I'm leaning towards (B), but I can see arguments both ways. I hope I explained the dilemma clearly; my brain is definitely in the process of shutting down for the night.

We see a lot of confusion on our forums and in the social media about digital audio, particularly the artifacts created during Analog to Digital (recording) and Digital to Analog (playback) conversion. So it is with some excitement we re-upload the 'Digital Show & Tell' video by Monty of Xiph.org, the developers of the open-source Ogg Vorbis codec supported by FL Studio.
Watch to learn more about A/D, D/A, sample-rates, bit-depth, dither & more
Monty presents a series of well thought out, real-rime, demonstrations of sampling and sample payback including the effects of - sample-rate, bit-depth and dither. Monty uses both digital analysis tools and vintage analog bench equipment to walk us through the principles of Digital to Analog and Analog to Digital conversion.

The greatest thing that ever happened to anyone is this video of George the bulldog and Winston the tortoise eating Cheerios together, in no small part because they resemble Bowser and an improbably-teeny Koopa.
Also, after one piece of cereal the tortoise was probably like "Urghhh, I'm sooooooo fullllllll," and the bulldog was like, "OMG, this is why I hate eating with you."

Listen closely and you can hear a million nerds getting a semi at the same time. What could cause this? Why it's the news that "Harry Potter" director David Yates has been tapped to lead the charge on the big screen adaptation of "Dr. Who". I say semi but it could also be the sound of a million nerds already throwing a fit over a big screen adaptation of "Dr. Who". Either way I can't get no sleep son.
When the hell did behind the scenes photos become so popular? Every damn day there's a new pic of Christian Bale eating a bear claw on the set of the new Batman movie or some crap. Or Milla Jovovich, dressed up like she's not 57 on the set of "Resident Evil: Retribution" with a look on her face like she's worried that filming will go long and she won't make the early bird special down at Perkins. In all fairness their pies are delicious, I can't fault her for loving them.
Valentines Day is just around the corner and maybe it's time you thought outside the box. Roses and candy have been done so many times why not give her something she'll really enjoy. Why not give her a copy of "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" which just so happens to hit DVD and Blu-ray on the most romantic day of the year. I'm not going to bother telling you what the movie is about. You can pretty much tell she's going to love it from the title.
I've been saying for years that Brooke Hogan, Hulk Hogan's daughter, has got what it takes to make it in the acting world. And thank god someone has finally listened to me and cast her in the lead role of a movie. The movie is "Sand Sharks"... and it takes place on a beach where giant prehistoric sharks are jumping out of the sand and eat people. Sounds awesome right? Wait till you see the new trailer. I had to watch it twice because the first time I started sobbing uncontrollably because it's so glorious. It's that good.

In Hawaii today, according to an Associated Press dispatch filed by Ben Feller, President Barack Obama is reported to have told supporters that, in Feller's words, "everything they worked for and that the country stands for is on the line in his 2012 re-election bid."
Well, if what those donors have "worked" for is an inside track to government money, and if what the country stands for is crony capitalism, the President is right. The following excerpt from Peter Schweizer's new book, "Throw The All Out," provides the details in just one commercial arena (via The Daily Beast; HTs to Doug Ross, Conservatives4Palin, Victory Chronicles, and Heritage; bolds are mine; extra paragraph breaks added by me):
After he was sworn in as president, he proclaimed that taxpayer money would assuredly not be doled out to political friends. "Decisions about how Recovery Act dollars are spent will be based on the merits," he said, referring to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. "Let me repeat that: decisions about how recovery money will be spent will be based on the merits. They will not be made as a way of doing favors for lobbyists."
... an examination of grants and guaranteed loans offered by just one stimulus program run by the Department of Energy, for alternative-energy projects, is stunning. The so-called 1705 Loan Guarantee Program and the 1603 Grant Program channeled billions of dollars to all sorts of energy companies. The grants were earmarked for alternative-fuel and green-power projects, so it would not be a surprise to learn that those industries were led by liberals. Furthermore, these were highly competitive grant and loan programs—not usually a hallmark of cronyism. Often fewer than 10 percent of applicants were deemed worthy.
Nevertheless, a large proportion of the winners were companies with Obama-campaign connections. Indeed, at least 10 members of Obama's finance committee and more than a dozen of his campaign bundlers were big winners in getting your money. At the same time, several politicians who supported Obama managed to strike gold by launching alternative-energy companies and obtaining grants. How much did they get?
According to the Department of Energy's own numbers ... a lot. In the 1705 government-backed-loan program, for example, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted as of Sept. 15 went to companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama financial backers—individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama's National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party.
The grant and guaranteed-loan recipients were early backers of Obama before he ran for president, people who continued to give to his campaigns and exclusively to the Democratic Party in the years leading up to 2008. Their political largesse is probably the best investment they ever made in alternative energy. It brought them returns many times over.
... One might think that the Department of Energy's Loan Program Office, which has doled out billions in taxpayer-guaranteed loans, would be directed by a dedicated scientist or engineer. Or perhaps a civil servant with considerable financial knowledge. Instead, the department's loan and grant programs are run by partisans who were responsible for raising money during the Obama campaign from the same people who later came to seek government loans and grants. Steve Spinner, who served on the Obama campaign's National Finance Committee and was a bundler himself, was the campaign's "liaison to Silicon Valley."
... Another Obama fundraiser positioned to lead the allocation of taxpayer money to Obama contributors was Sanjay Wagle, who served as the managing co-chairman of Cleantech & Green Business Leaders for Obama. Wagle's day job was as a principal at VantagePoint Venture Partners. After the 2008 election, Wagle joined the Obama administration as a "renewable energy grants adviser" at the Department of Energy. VantagePoint owned firms that would later see federal loan guarantees roll in.
As one might expect, it goes on and on and on.
It's bad enough that this is to some degree business as usual inside the Beltway. But two things make it unique. First, its scope. $16 billion in just one program is a lot of money, even in a world where we're being conditioned to be unimpressed by anything which isn't followed by 12 zeroes. Second, the brazen hypocrisy. Obama didn't just make a point of claiming that he would run a clean and above board operation in Washington during the 2008 campaign -- supposedly in stark contrast to his predecessor and the pre-2007 Republican majority in Congress -- he hammered at the theme at seemingly every conceivable opportunity.
Jonathan Alter and Allan Lichtman, both of whom have claimed that the Obama administration has been free of scandal during its nearly three years controlling the White House thus far -- call your offices.
Will the relatively disengaged majority of the electorate every hear about what Schweizer has detailed in the above segment from his book? It's not looking good; a search on his last name at the main site of the Associated Press, which may as well call itself The Administration's Press, at 7:00 p.m. ET came up empty. Ben Feller, you too need to call your office -- and get a grip.

Pair production is the formation or materialization of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter, usually in the vicinity of an atomic nucleus. Pair production is a direct conversion of radiant energy to matter. It is one of the principal ways in which high-energy gamma rays are absorbed in matter. For pair production to occur, the electromagnetic energy, in a discrete quantity called a photon, must be at least equivalent to the mass of two electrons. The mass m of a single electron is equivalent to 0.51 million electron volts (MeV) of energy E as calculated from the equation formulated by Albert Einstein, E = mc2, in which c is a constant equal to the velocity of light. To produce two electrons, therefore, the photon energy must be at least 1.02 MeV. Photon energy in excess of this amount, when pair production occurs, is converted into motion of the electron-positron pair. If pair production occurs in a track detector, such as a cloud chamber, to which a magnetic field is properly applied, the electron and the positron curve away from the point of formation in opposite directions in arcs of equal curvature. In this way pair production was first detected (1933). The positron that is formed quickly disappears by reconversion into photons in the process of annihilation with another electron in matter.

Yoga may reduce fatigue after breast cancer
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Participating in yoga classes after treatment for breast cancer was linked to reduced fatigue and inflammation and increased vitality among women in a new study.
Researchers found that breast cancer survivors who took 12 weeks of yoga classes ended up with reduced inflammation and felt less tired after six months, compared to a similar group of women who didn't take yoga classes.
"This may be a way to provide a good activity that also has other benefits," Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.
Kiecolt-Glaser is an investigator at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Care Center and the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research in Columbus.
She and her colleagues write in the Journal of Clinical Oncology that cancer survivors are twice as likely to have poor health and more disability, compared to people without a history of cancer.
That may be partially explained by less exercise and activity during and after cancer treatment, which may increase inflammation throughout the body. Chronic inflammation has been tied to increased risks for death and a number of health disorders.
Previous research has also found that inflammation tends to be elevated among cancer survivors and people who don't do a lot physical activity.
Yoga may be one way to get breast cancer survivors moving again, because its intensity can be tailored to an individual's limits. Yoga has also been linked to reduced fatigue among cancer survivors through better sleep (see Reuters Health story of Aug. 30, 2013 here: http://reut.rs/16Xrk56.)
To see whether yoga had an effect on inflammation, mood and fatigue, the researchers recruited 200 breast cancer survivors, who finished their treatments at least two months before the study began in 2008.
The women were randomly assigned to one of two groups that either participated in two weekly 90-minute yoga sessions for 12 weeks or were put on a waiting list and told to avoid yoga.
The women's blood was analyzed for indications of inflammation. They also answered a series of surveys and questionnaires to measure their fatigue, vitality and mood.
At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers found that women taking the yoga classes scored higher than the comparison group for vitality. But there were no significant differences between the groups in measurements of mood, fatigue or inflammation.
Another three months after the yoga classes ended, however, women in the yoga group were less fatigued and had higher vitality scores than women in the comparison group.
For example, before anyone did yoga, both groups of women scored about 14 on a fatigue scale of 0 to 30, where higher scores indicate greater fatigue. At the end of the study, the average score among women in the yoga group was five, versus about 13 among women in the comparison group.
There was no difference between the groups in mood, but Kiecolt-Glaser said the women weren't depressed enough at the start of the study to leave room for improvement.
In addition to feeling less tired, the researchers found that at six months the indicators of inflammation in the yoga participants' blood samples were between 13 percent and 20 percent lower than those in the comparison group.
"My best guess is that when women are sleeping better they're less fatigued and their inflammation goes down," Kiecolt-Glaser said, adding that the more often the women did yoga weekly, the better their results.
While Kiecolt-Glaser said the women in the study would notice a difference in their fatigue after the study, she added that it would be difficult to know if the lower inflammation led to noticeable differences. That would require longer studies.
Karen Mustian, who was not involved in the study but has researched yoga among cancer survivors, said it's also important to find out how yoga affects the body.
"We really need to be able to drill down and understand how it works to be able to more accurately prescribe these interventions," said Mustian, who is from the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
She also said yoga can be recommended to breast cancer survivors as long as they're aware of some caveats, including that they should pick a low-to-moderate intensity yoga, understand their physical limitations and do their research to find a credentialed and trained yoga instructor.
"Yoga is certainly an excellent intervention to try when women are feeling fatigued post treatment," Kiecolt-Glaser said. "But in general even for women and men who aren't cancer survivors, it may be an excellent intervention if they're feeling fatigued and (have) declined to take part in something more vigorous."

Spectacular coastline, rugged mountains, award-winning restaurants and picture-postcard villages…this is Mallorca at its best and the towns of Deia, Fornalutx & Soller where our stunning luxury villas are located showcase this perfectly.
You can reach Soller quickly from Palma, going through the mountains by tunnel or take the scenic route. Either way you will be rewarded by the charm of this bustling and unspoilt town with its local shops and market and vintage tram trundling by on its way down the hill to Port de Soller with its super sandy beaches. The splendid art nouveau railway station here is also the terminus for the equally vintage narrow-gauge train, which has been making the journey to and from Palma since 1912.
This coastline is rugged with windy roads connecting small villages including Deia, one of the most picturesque (and exclusive) on the island. The King of Spain has a retreat here and it is the resting place of Robert Graves who, like many before and since, drew inspiration from the magnificent setting.
Nestled in the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains on Mallorca's beautiful west coast, Fornalutx is a charming and unspoilt village of red roofs and green shutters. The rustic stone houses are built on steep terraces separated by narrow cobbled streets and stepped pathways, with green lanes leading up to orchards and farms. There are small local shops and lots of restaurants and bars, many with superb views to mountains and sea. Soller is just a couple of kilometres away and the beach at Puerto Soller is also close by. The village has won several awards and calls itself the prettiest in Spain – we think that is hard to argue against, come and see for yourself with Villa Retreats.
Valdemossa with its Carthusian monastery also inspired artists and writers and was the home of both Frederic Chopin and George Sand and although the latter complained in her writings of the townspeople and the weather, their heritage is certainly welcomed now!

First Drive: 2012 AEV Jeep Brute Double Cab Hemi
Brute Froce: A Factory-Quality Four-Door JK Truck from the Experts
Have you ever wanted a pickup with the off-road capability of a Jeep Wrangler (JK) Unlimited, but were disappointed to find out that all the compact, midsize, and half-ton pickups for sale in the U.S. rely on an independent front suspension? The 4x4 experts at American Expedition Vehicles are creating the solution to your dilemma. The company has taken the idea of its two-door pickup based on the Wrangler TJ and are building the Brute Double Cab, a four-door JK with a factory quality pickup bed that can be purchased as a complete vehicle. If you already have a JK Unlimited, the Brute will be available as a professional conversion, too. AEV was kind enough to bring us out to Moab, Utah, during the Easter Jeep Safari to drive its vehicles and take a spin in the Brute Double Cab.
When comparing the Brute Double Cab with its TJ-based predecessor, there are notable differences, in addition to those two extra doors. Not only does the new Brute get all the advancements that came along with Jeep's JK generational update -- new engine, transmission, interior, and more -- the Double Cab has totally unique DNA when compared with its two-door TJ-based older sibling. Instead of a steel pickup box like the original Brute, the new Double Cab uses a composite bed that weighs 140 pounds less than the steel bed. This allows the new Brute to tip the scales at about the same weight as a stock Wrangler Unlimited (that is, if you can resist the optional 6.4-liter Hemi swap and optional Dynatrac axles). The pickup bed is made with a high tech injection-molded composite of honeycomb core, S-glass (the strongest fiberglass available), some aluminum parts, carbon pieces, and even Kevlar.
"In addition to bold new badging, the new Brute Double Cab show vehicle was equipped with the AEV rear bumper and AEV splashguards."
To make the bed fit, AEV stretches an Wrangler Unlimited with the same method Jeep uses to build two- and four-door JKs on the same platform. (Actually, you could argue AEV uses its own method, which helped inspire the Unlimited model to become a part of the official Jeep lineup.) Since both lengths of the factory JK use the same front and rear frame sections, AEV is able to add 23 inches of boxed frame rails between the front and rear wheels and a small extension at the back under the bed. The Brute is longer, wider, and taller than the Wrangler Unlimited. The cargo area and roof behind the rear seats are removed and the cab is sealed with factory precision, and still allows room for the rear seats to fold flat.
Like all complete AEV conversions, the suspension will perform like no other thanks to the intensive OEM-like research and development used to create the Dualsport suspension. AEV starts by optimizing the control arms, track arms, and steering geometry to match the suspension lift height. After that's complete, the engineers use factory-style frequency tuning of the springs, which allow the front and rear coils to oscillate in harmony and keep the tires planted to the ground in on- and off-road situations. Once that's complete, AEV teams up with Bilstein at a professional proving grounds to dial in the shock valving with a focus on damping suspension movement, which helps explain the smooth and controlled feel of the suspension lift we experienced in Moab.
Our first ride in a fully equipped AEV Jeep came during the snowy customer appreciation trail ride, which included two- and four-door JK Wranglers along with a first-generation TJ-based Brute. One of the first things you'll notice about an AEV-equipped Jeep is the incredibly smooth ride, even with relatively short lift kits, such as the 3.5-inch lift that can fit 37-inch tires. At first, it seemed like the suspension, which felt perfect on-road, might be mushy on the trails. It turned out all the talk about AEV founder and president David Harriton's quest for perfection in ride control is not just a bunch of hype.
On the trails, what first seemed like a ride that was too soft to be true turned out to be the real deal. Small bumps are soaked up and isolated from the driver and passengers, and larger obstacles can be hit at speeds where you might expect to clunk your head on the rollbar or roof when the trail retaliates, but even bumping up a double ledge produced less cabin disruption than you'd expect from hitting a nasty speed hump in a parking lot. That's not to say there's any loss in capability when compared with more stiffly sprung Jeeps. The smooth ride is just a bonus and can even help drivers maintain control, since they don't have to compensate for unexpected chassis movements.
The Brute Double Cab we drove was not on the trail ride because the model brought to Moab is the show version of the truck, plus Harriton isn't yet satisfied with the rear suspension tuning. We did ride with him a short distance off-road for the photo session and the truck crawled just as easily as the other AEV Jeeps and the chassis felt as composed as a factory pickup, if not better. The bed never creaked or seemed to be trying to escape the rest of the truck, even when the suspension was stressed by maxing out the droop of one wheel while the others were firmly planted on flat rock.
We did drive the Brute Double Cab on-road, and the current "unacceptable" rear suspension felt more composed than most OEM pickups with an unloaded bed, and a heck of a lot smoother than an empty 3/4-ton pickup. The front suspension performed like a champ, even with the weight of a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 under the AEV Heat Reduction hood. To protect the show truck, the engine was limited to 55 mph and well below redline, but normal driving on twisty roads and a few throttle punches on straightaways revealed the engine and Chrysler/Mercedes-Benz sourced five-speed automatic perform seamlessly with the rest of the vehicle.
To ensure we got the full on-road experience, Harriton arranged a ride with one of AEV's professional engineers in an AEV Wrangler Unlimited with the same drivetrain. While the engineer kept everything safe and legal, there were a few white-knuckle lane-change maneuvers. They didn't activate the stability control or produce the scary body roll you'd anticipate, which proved that when the Brute's suspension is dialed in, you wouldn't be too far off in comparing the ride to that of a sporty car. During the exhibition drive, something was said to the effect of, "You could probably drift this around a corner, but there would never be a need to do that," and, no we didn't do any drifting.
To buy a Brute Double Cab, you'll need to get in line, because this is bound to be a hot item. In fact, there's already a waiting list. The four-door Brute is the only front and rear solid-axle midsize pickup that's going to be on sale until 2016, which Jeep says is the earliest time to expect a factory pickup based on the next-generation Jeep Wrangler. AEV is not known for building vehicles on the cheap, but you can be confident the price will be based on the company's commitment to quality-just ask one of its many return customers.

About AEV This is not the first time AEV has transformed your everyday Jeep into a unique product with the build quality you expect to find straight from the factory. Some ways this can be achieved by an aftermarket business involve hiring the right people. While expanding, AEV began teaming up with a supplier to the Big Three, stamping and assembly company Quality Metalcraft owner, Michael Chetcuti, along with getting the support of Mike Collins from Detroit, bringing an experienced off-road sales manager and AEV customer Chris Wood into the fold, and hiring Dave Yegge, a Jeep engineer who played vital roles in Wrangler development. Like Wood, Yegge had used AEV to stretch his personal Jeep TJ years earlier, which played a role in the development of the factory's Unlimited model.
They aren't the only ones responsible for the success at AEV in its 15-year existence. Including Yegge, there are three Chrysler/Jeep employees with 40 years worth of experience. The company acquired Nth Degree suspension in 2007 along with the expertise of Jim Frens, one of the former Chrysler employees, who is now the AEV resident suspension engineer. Since 1997, the Missoula, Montana facility to has moved into a 7000-square-foot space and the AEV Detroit facilities have expanded into a 36,000-square-foot workspace as AEV continues to grow with its mission to make perfection the primary objective.
The original idea for the two-door TJ Brute came to Harriton when he owned two Mastiff dogs. He wanted a way to transport them while keeping the interior of his Jeep clean, and also wanted more room for cargo. Here you can see a very satisfied customer, (he wore that smile all day), driving his first-generation Brute during the AEV Customer Appreciation trail ride.
Company partner Michael "Chet" Chetcuti, prepared a feast that included 40 pounds of ribs and special beans by his lackey, Kent, for the AEV customer dinner. Meanwhile, the rest of the AEV family and about 20 AEV-equipped Jeeps from all over the USA followed Sales Manager Chris Wood on the annual Customer Appreciation trail ride, made more interesting by snow that had started falling in Moab the night before.

Could You Replace Copyrights And Patents With A Fairness-Based Legal Liability?
from the fairness-and-liability deptEarlier this year, I recommended the book No Law by David L. Lange & H. Jefferson Powell. I still keep meaning to get around to writing a full review, but the book makes a very compelling argument that copyright law is a clear violation of First Amendment principles. However, rather than wiping out copyright law, the book suggests something of an alternative. In noting that the claim of "exclusive rights" has been bastardized from the original "exclusive rights to profits," they suggest that no one be barred from using the content of others, with the requirement that profits due to those uses must then be shared with the originator. I have some issues with that conclusion, but it looks like others are investigating that concept as well.
Andrew F alerts us to the latest work by Marshall van Alstyne, who we've mentioned before concerning his views on journalism business models and who did a great job at The Free Summit put on by Tech Policy Central, and emceed by me. His most recent paper, co-authored with Gavin Clarkson, explores both how strict intellectual property rights lead to socially inefficient outcomes, and how "fairness" principles could be much more efficient. The paper uses a combination of real world examples, previous research and game theory to make a rather compelling case.
Basically, it explains all the reasons why intellectual property leads to hoarding of information that slows innovation:
Property rights provide incentives to create information but they also provide incentives to hoard it prior to the award of protection. All-or-nothing rights, in particular, limit prior sharing. An unintended consequence is to slow, not has- ten, forward progress when innovation hinges on combining disparately owned private ideas.As to why this happens, it's due to the injunctive ability of intellectual property holders to not just stop the specific use of their expression or invention, but effectively everything else built on top of it:
Infringement of copyright provides injunctive relief as remedy. This permits copyright owners the use of take-it-or-leave-it offers as strategy. The trouble that results from such a hold-up strategy is that it allows the injunctive rights owner, when bargaining with a non-owner, to extract nearly the full value of any transaction (with full information it is full value.) For recombinant works, this affords the last negotiating rights holder undue influence much as the last negotiating landowner exercises undue bargaining power relative to other landowners in any effort to develop a multi-parcel tract of indistinguishable parcels of land. For works of modest value, such as a single sample of a song, image, or video, negotiation costs can vastly exceed market value. For transformative works, insignificant inclusions of lesser material can retard or reduce the progress of more valuable material as when the release of the movie 12 Monkeys was enjoined due to the appearance in several scenes of a copyrighted chair.From there, they make the case models that follow on "fairness" and "liability" work much better than a strict "property rights" setup. Along the way, they discuss the study we mentioned in the past about how people view fairness and relative compensation, as well as debunk the myth that if one person can take advantage of another they absolutely will.
The end result is a suggestion not unlike the one in No Law: that rather than setting up a system of artificial property-like rights called copyright and patents, there may be more social and economic efficiency in allowing unfettered usage of expression and inventions, with a system that then requires some sort of attribution and payment for a fair share of any of the profits. That would then actually encourage much greater sharing of ideas and inventions in an effort to get those concepts included more widely.
It's definitely interesting to think about, and I agree that in many ways it would likely lead to great net benefit than an IP regime, but it could also generate many other problems, especially in situations of independent generation or incidental copying -- as well as long, and drawn out legal fights over these situations as well as a determination of what is, in fact, fair. The paper does try to address the latter point with three responses, but I'm sure this won't be enough for some.
Either way, this is certainly an interesting paper that contributes to this ongoing discussion.

Most visitors to Las Vegas make a beeline to the casino floor for high-stakes gaming, chirpy slot machines and velvet-rope nightclubs. Throw in designer boutiques, restaurants helmed by celebrity chefs and swanky hotel suites, and visitors seeking glam and glitz have everything they need for their vacation. But while the City of Sin has capitalized on offering sweet vices, it also offers myriad activities that are impressive and fun — without the guilt. From canyon ziplining to flying a fighter plane, we rounded up our favorite activities and adventures where visitors can still utter the famous words: "Only in Las Vegas."
Dig a Really Big Hole with Dig ThisYour clients can live vicariously through the life of a local construction worker by donning a hardhat and excavating some really big holes. Dig This just outside the strip is a playground for those who like to ride big toys. Bulldozers and excavators with monster blades take to the grounds, and visitors can choose to dig gigantic trenches, stack 2,000-pound tires or build huge mounds. Dig This is a terrific activity for the entire family — you must pass a Breathalyzer test before maneuvering machinery.www.digthisvegas.com
Discover Ancient Artifacts at Valley of FireNevada's oldest and largest state park, Valley of Fire is more than sprawling hot sand and a mirage (if you're lucky). The park is home to ancient, 3,000-year old Native American petroglyphs within millions-year-old rock formations. History and nature buffs alike can expect gorgeous landscape with limestone rocks and red sandstone formations. Even "Star Trek" lovers will get a thrill as this is the filming location for the memorable episode where Captain Kirk fell to his death. http://parks.nv.gov/parks/valley-of-fire-state-park
Drive Fast and Furious at Dream RacingIf your clients have a need for speed, book them a thrilling ride at Dream Racing. At the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (home to top events like the NASCAR Spring Cup Series), Dream Racing puts sports car enthusiasts behind the wheels of uber-expensive race cars and supers cars, such as the Ferrari F430 GT race car.www.dreamracing.com
Explore Mob History at the Mob MuseumSay hello to my little friend… the Mob Museum! Opened last year in downtown Las Vegas and housed in one of Vegas' few historic buildings, the Mob Museum is an exciting way to not only learn the history of mob culture but to have a solid reason to visit the burgeoning Fremont area. Your clients can expect cool exhibits and memorabilia with interactive features. They can also book the restored federal courthouse for events.www.themobmuseum.org
Fly a Jet at Sky Combat AceDon't have a license to fly a plane? No problem! Out in Henderson (about a 20-minute drive), Sky Combat Ace gives visitors the opportunity to fly a fighter plane. There is no other place in the world where guests can get in the cockpit (with an experienced, licensed pilot, of course) and soar through the skies at speeds reaching up to 250 miles per hour.www.skycombatace.com
Soar Through the Nevada CanyonsThirty minutes from the strip near the Hoover Dam, Flightlinez (which once operated the ziplining at Fremont Street) takes outdoor enthusiasts to great heights — literally. In the Bootleg Canyon (which comprises sprawling desert views, even with the strip in the distance), Flightlinez takes participants through several courses, some up to 1,100 feet high. Best of all? Groups of eight or more can book any time of the day or night — a great idea for a unique Las Vegas after party. www.flightlinezbootleg.com
Vintage Signs at Neon MuseumIf your clients like things bright and big that don't come with a hefty price tag, send them to the Neon Museum. The dedicated, two-acre outdoor museum space exhibits vintage neon Vegas signs dating back to the 1930s. In fact, there are more than 150 signs that take visitors on a Vegas time warp, many from old-school motels to high-profile casino resorts. The museum is open every day for hour-long guided tours, and reservations are strongly encouraged.www.neonmuseum.org

Tokyo Fashion and Kimoken: Vintage and Independent Styles in Koenji
Kanako Itamae and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Images of fashion in Tokyo conjures up exquisite luxury fashion in Ginza to the unique fashion scene of Harajuku and the various fashion trends which enlighten this amazing part of Tokyo. Refined and elegant fashion can be found throughout many parts of this buzzing city and clearly the fashion districts of Aoyama, Ginza, Ebisu and Omotesando spring to mind quickly. Likewise Daikanyama, Ikebukuro, Jiyugaoka, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Yurakucho and many other districts are awash with amazing brands. However, like all powerful fashion cities in the world you also have a vibrant vintage scene and this notably applies to Koenji and other districts like Shimokitazawa.
Shibuya 109, Laforet Harajuku and Marui One are famous department stores for fashion in Tokyo. Recently, Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku (Omohara) opened up for business and this new vibrant shopping plaza will enhance Omotesando Hills which is blessed with amazing boutiques throughout the entire shopping mall. However, Koenji is a million miles away from these iconic stores and recent developments which are altering the fashion landscape in places like Harajuku, Omotesando and Shibuya.
One amazing expert who knows about the vibrant vintage fashion scene and other aspects of Koenji is Kimoken (Kenta Kimoto). Kimoken (http://kimoken.exblog.jp/) is an individual who adores fashion and understands the importance of creativity, individualism and the need to discover the "real self." Therefore, he is constantly updating his websites in order to show "real fashion" connected with the independent vibes of Koenji.
Kimoken (http://blog.livedoor.jp/kimoken/) provides "real street images" whereby the viewer can really understand the unique fashion angles of this part of Tokyo. He also recommends Lactose Intoler-Art (http://lactoseintolerart.tumblr.com/) which is a very interesting website to visit. Obviously, with Kimoken highlighting this creative website then you know immediately that it will have many unique angles.
In a past article about Kimoken by Modern Tokyo Times it was stated that "The reason why Koenji appeals to Kimoken so much is based on the vintage scene, individualism, creativity, fresh designers, the fusion of the past with the vibrancy of youth, the special feel of the place, acceptance of diversity, and because you have no boundaries. Therefore, if you want to visit a fashion district with a unique vibe then Koenji is a must place to visit. Also, the Kita-Kore building in this district is gaining in awareness because of the fashion buzz inside."
A partial list of fashion companies to visit in Koenji applies to the Mad Tea Party, Spank!, Safari, Yuri, Kiki, Jinjer, dai-dai, Chiruru, Peep Cheep, Zool, Yakusoku, Kuro Benz, Bernet, Sokkyou, Hoy-Hoy Station, Now Or Never, UK Extra, Re'all, Hikari, Mouse, , Vivid, Cord, and Pheb. This is only a partial list. Therefore, it is important to take your time in Koenji in order to seek out other companies which enrich this unique fashion district.
The beauty of the fashion scene in Tokyo is that it is so diverse. Also, individuals are literally spoilt for choice because you have so many vibrant districts to visit. Likewise, the contrasting reality of Aoyama and Koenji are a million miles apart. After all, Koenji highlights the raw edge of Tokyo fashion compared with Aoyama which focuses on the crème de la crème of fashion. Despite this, it is this collective diversity which really makes Tokyo tick and for vintage lovers and people who adore independent fashion vibes, then Koenji provides this.
The powerful favorite phrase of Kimoken also works perfectly with Koenji. He states that he loves the phraseWara e ba wara e. Ware ga nasu koto ha ware nomi zo shiru" (If you want to laugh at me, then do it. What I do is known only by myself). This extremely poignant comment says much about the real vibes of Koenji. After all, in Koenji it is clear that for fashion lovers who flock to this part of Tokyo, that the fashion angle is a way of life. Therefore, the favorite phrase of Kimoken fits in perfectly with the vintage and independent angle of this fashion district.

TRAIN THANKS: Jennifer Asparooth was hit by a train almost 30 years ago, and is haunted by the fact that she never thanked the paramedics that saved her life.

NIC-10 GEORGETOWN: Hononegah quarterback David King seldom passed in high school, what with the Indians leading the NIC-10 in rushing with more than 3,000 yards.

MATT TROWBRIDGE/ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR, words 450 / Illinois Sports
BEARS COL: Last two games illustrate both Bears' potential for 2008 and what went wrong this year. The team doesn't need to be overhauled, but it can't keep relying on a rigid formula of ball-control running and defensive turnovers. That only works as a front-running strategy.

DWTS 14, Week 7 – Who's Got the Edge in the Team Dances?
So we now know for sure what the team dances are (paso doble & tango) and who's on what team (Katherine, Maria, Jaleel, & Roshon vs. William, Donald, & Melissa). So who's gonna win? Let's see how they stack up. I looked at several factors that could come into play in helping to determine who has the advantage – experience level of the pros on each team, experience level of the couples on each team, number of couples on each team, what dance each team has, and other miscellaneous factors that may affect the outcome. So let's get to it!
Pro Team Dance Experience
Derek: 6 wins (seasons 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13), 0 losses, 0 ties; average team dance score: 27.5
Cheryl: 4 wins (seasons 7, 8, 10, 13), 1 loss (season 11), 0 ties; average team dance score: 26.8
Kym: 2 wins (seasons 7 & 9), 1 loss (season 13), 1 tie (season 12); average team dance score: 25.75*
Maks: 2 wins (seasons 11 & 13), 1 loss (season 10), 1 tie (season 12); average team dance score: 25*
Chelsie: 1 win (season 8), 0 losses, 1 tie (season 12); average team dance score: 25*
Mark: 0 wins, 2 losses (seasons 8 & 11), 1 tie (season 12); average team dance score: 23.67*
Peta: 0 wins, 0 losses, 0 ties (never been in a team dance); average team dance score: 0
*Since there were 4 judges' scores given for the team dances in season 12, I subtracted Donnie Burns' score from the two team dances in that season in order to normalize with all of the other seasons, which only had 3 judges' scores.
Team Tango: I'd say their biggest advantage is having Derek – the guy's undefeated, so he's clearly figured out the formula for what works and what doesn't work in the team dances. Say what you will about team dances being a product of all the pros working together (I agree to some extent), but the only common denominator in every single team dance win has been Derek, regardless of what other pros have been on each team with him, what the dance style has been, etc. Many of the pros have also gone on record as saying that they tend to let Derek take the lead when choreographing the group portions of the team dance, so I'd say he probably has a lot to do with the success of each of the teams he's on, as the judges do tend to really harp on synchonization, interesting formation patterns, and overall performance quality in the group portion of team dances. I'd say Kym is an asset as well – she's been on a team with Derek twice before (one of those times was another team tango), and when she hasn't been on a team with him, she's managed to tie once, and the 1 team dance she lost was not really all that bad, IMO. I don't really know if Chelsie is battle-tested enough to say whether she's good in the team dance or not – but I don't get the impression that she is one to make waves, so she will probably be very cooperative and easy to get along with. My only concern is Mark – he seemed rather volatile in the team dance rehearsals in season 12, and seems to have a penchant for very flashy, high-energy, in-your-face choreo…which doesn' t always translate well in the team dances. I'm hoping that he lets Derek take the lead on the group choreography, and really focuses on giving Katherine some good, solid solo choreography this week.
Team Paso: While I think they don't have quite the same edge that Team Katherine does, I don't think they're super weak, either. Both Cheryl & Maks have been on teams with Derek before, so they've probably at least picked up a few tricks and strategies – I would say Maks is probably the stronger choreographer, judging from what I've seen him do in other team dances and pro dances. The big question mark here is Peta – we just don't know how she's going to fare, since this will be her first team dance. I doubt she's going to suck at it (I don't think anyone has really sucked at it – except maybe the unfortunate souls in the team mambo in season 8…), but it may take her a little longer to really get a feel for how the team dances work and what to do for Donald's solo. I think she's probably going to rely on Cheryl & Maks for the group choreo, and isn't likely to make any sort of big fuss, since she's the new kid on the block.
Who has the edge in pro experience? I've got to give this one to Team Tango – they've got the only undefeated pro, and each of the other pros has been in at least 2 team dances. Read more..
