Although he stumbled through a letter, the home-schooled seventh-grader spelled "geta" correctly Thursday to be crowned the district spelling champion.
After the two previous spellers in the Alachua County district bee had misspelled raj and tamale, Pierce Tolar, 12, felt the pressure. All he had to do was spell the next word right.
"I thought, ‘I know this word,' " Pierce said. "I just gotta focus."
Although he stumbled through a letter, the home-schooled seventh-grader spelled "geta" correctly Thursday to be crowned the district spelling champion, winning over 37 other fifth- through eighth-grade students.
He collapsed in his chair in apparent disbelief to the sound of applause, nearly two hours and 15 rounds after the start of Thursday's spelling bee.
"Wait a minute," he said he thought. "I'm going to regionals."
Pierce will face 12 other students in Jacksonville in February. The regional winner will head to Washington, D.C., to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Pierce, who said he wants to be an engineer, has competed in spelling bees since the first grade, and this marked his third trip to the district spelling bee.
Spelling runs in his family, said his mother, Debra Tolar. His two older sisters both competed in the district spelling bee.
"We always study the root words, origins and definitions before we start spelling," she said.
Parents, siblings and teachers filled the Kirby-Smith Center boardroom as each speller took his or her turn at the microphone.
School Board member Carol Oyenarte said she was proud of all the students who participated and their parents for supporting them.
"It was so exciting," she said. "I'm not as smart as a fifth-grader. Every one of them were a winner to get that far — and those were hard words."
Madison Ragsdale, an Alachua Elementary School student, was the first student up. She misspelled "writhe."
After the round, announcer Tim McShane leaned over to her.
"It starts with a ‘w,' " he said as she left.
Debbie Lewis, former School Board member Ginger Childs and retired Principal Gladys Wright served as judges.
Organizer Dawn Newell said the spelling bee is just as nerve-wracking for her as it is for the students.
"It just kills me," she said. "I'm not a speller. It just breaks my heart."
Casey Jones, 11, froze on the word euphonious. Casey, a sixth-grader at Howard Bishop Middle School, said he didn't know the word.
"I was a proud mama," said Nekia Jones. "Even though he didn't get it, I was proud."
Outside the ballroom, Whyatt Warnock, 12, asked his mother, Debbie Roberts, how to spell the word that knocked him out. "Is it f-l-a-g-e-l-l-u-m?" he asked. This time he spelled it right. "Of course I get it afterwards."
Meenali Patel, a fifth-grader at Oak View, landed in the top three but tripped over the word tamale. "You rushed a little bit," said her father, Vince Patel. "But we made it to the finals."
Both Meenali and Alexandra Ro of Oak Hall School were runners-up.
Pierce said he didn't know the meaning of geta, a traditional Japanese shoe resembling clogs and flip-flops. Now that he has moved to the next round, there's more etymology — the study of words — in his future.
"I plan to study a whole lot," he said. "When I get there, I just want to keep my focus."

The fall and winter men’s wear catalogue from a national retailer, printed on heavy paper with fantastic photos, arrived the other day. My father-in-law called to tell me about a great deal on prime rib at a store that was competing aggressively with holiday turkeys. My web browsers keep showing advertisements for items I’ve looked at on retail websites (yes, it’s creepy).
This article isn’t about passively increasing revenues. This article is about how you can manufacture revenues in your retail, service, and, yes, manufacturing business. It’s all about being proactive and getting personal with your best customers and clients.
I hear from my three favourite men’s clothing stores as follows. One, twice a year when I get their note cards in the mail for their big seasonal sales in January and July. The second one sends me two creative catalogues every year and an occasional email announcing their sales. The third one, I never hear from at all, but I do drive by them twice a day. They all have big sales twice a year, so that’s when I usually buy.
Note: email is not considered to be communicating with your customers and clients. A busy person that receives 50 or 100 emails or more per day isn’t excited to receive a promotional email from you. I know I’m not.
It doesn’t cost anything to call your best customers. It takes time and courage to pick up the phone. They’ve got the time; not sure about the courage. Perhaps surfing on bookface is more interesting for them, but it doesn’t generate revenue.
Many businesses spend enormous sums of money advertising to get non-customers to become new customers. They’re trying to overcome inertia. Newton’s first law is that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion. Therefore, according to Newton, if you want to sell more stuff, you should be marketing to your customers who are already buying from you. They are already in motion: they know you, like you, trust you, and how to buy from you.
These lessons for the retail industry also apply to service and manufacturing industries. Here are the action steps to manufacture revenues in your business.
Identify your best customers. Any accounting software will give you a customer sales summary. Export this to excel, sort by largest to smallest, run a cumulative percentage, and voila, your customers are ranked by sales and identified for your team to call.
Act like a consultant. Think about two or three things that would help your customer to look better, carry more lenses without lugging a camera bag, increase their capacity by outsourcing part of their manufacturing process to you (a non-competitor), increase their speed by reducing bottle-necks and time wasters in their process, have you service the air conditioner or furnace before it breaks down (and you can level your workload), or plan their next quarter’s capacity and sales. Sitting and thinking, instead of reacting to emails, is the hardest part. Coming up with ideas, especially during a conversation, is easy and fun.
Show up. Make an appointment. Take someone for lunch. Drop by for coffee. Connect with people. It’s easy to stand out in today’s high tech world by showing up.
Focus and be present. Ask questions. Listen. Think. Then, respond.
Here is a skill testing question. How much of your sales revenue is generated from reactively taking a customer’s order compared to your proactive activities?
Being proactive and being personal are guaranteed to help you manufacture revenues in any business. Full speed ahead!

First thing that needs to be done, is getting the existing window perfectly clean, which Jeanne is an expert at!
Then, I raise the window in place to check that it fits.
Here I'm sliding it so that each side has the same amount of gap.
I add cardboard shims to raise the panel up so that it has the same gap both top and bottom.
A cardboard wedge holds the top in place, keeping the panel from tipping out.
I fold the cardboard in an "accordion" fashion to form the wedge that goes in the top.
Once the final cardboard is holding the panel in place, we're ready to caulk the window in.
I use a tile and tub caulk that matches the color of the window frame.
As I apply the caulk, I use care to get the caulk in smoothly, but I don't worry about imperfections yet.
It's important to use caution as you apply the caulking so that you don't force it into the back of the stained glass.
There is nothing to prevent the gap behind the window from getting too much caulking in that void. This would result in an ugly look and the only way to fix it, is to take the window out and start over, which is just a huge mess.
Once the caulk is applied, I take a wetted finger and smooth the caulking.
I find that a roll of toilet paper is a great cleanup tool, it works great and it doesn't cost much!
When I get the entire window caulked, we'll leave the caulking to harden and then we'll come back, take out the cardboard, fill the gaps with fresh caulk and scrape any excess away with a razor knife.
The finished install is very satisfactory. The clients love it and are pleased. We've found that as we do more and more installs that the pressure and anxiety that used to build during an install has diminished over time and we almost enjoy the process!

Many of you probably answered “A: On opening,” but that’s not entirely correct. In reality, your lines can break at “D: All of the above” including opening, flight, or landing. With the emergence of faster, more high performance canopies, your lines are tested and strained throughout your canopy ride. That means that if you have a very worn out lineset, you are putting yourself in a situation where a line could snap and give you an unrecoverable malfunction just a few hundred feet above the ground. If you think that sounds far fetched, it has happened multiple times before. To prevent those kind of malfunctions, it is vital that you monitor the conditions of your lines closely and replace them as needed.
Broken carriers – If you don’t know what a carrier is, check out the “Know Your Lines!” post from yesterday. Broken carriers can significantly reduce the strength of your lineset and are a sign that the lines are nearing the end of their life. Take special care to inspect around the link loop (near your slinks or hard links) and around the stabilizer above the cascade, as these are high-wear areas that are sometimes overlooked.
Line “fuzzyness” – Simply put, if your lines look more like a strip of velcro than a line, it’s probably time to replace them.
Flight characteristics – Aside from the visible condition of your lines, it’s prudent to monitor how your canopy is opening and flying. If you start to notice undesirable flight characteristics it could be a sign that your lines are going out of trim. This is especially applicable to a Microline or Dacron lineset.
To illustrate how your lines lose strength over time, we took some linesets at various stages of life and submitted them to a series of tensile tests. The results are shown on each photo as a percentage of strength loss. It’s important to note that these lines could have any number of jumps based on the environment and packing area. The “heavy wear” examples could have 200 jumps in a desert environment or they could have 600-1000 jumps in a grassy environment with a clean packing area. There is no hard rule about how many jumps a lineset will last. In any case, the “heavy wear” samples shown here are well past the point they should have been replaced.
We hope that gives you some insight on how to monitor the condition of your lines. The bottom line is that if you find yourself with ragged out lines, you should replace them before they snap on a skydive. The money you “save” on trying to squeeze ten more jumps out of your lines pales in comparison to the cost of replacing your canopy if you lose it on a cutaway, or the cost of medical bills if you snap a line on landing.
If you have any questions about the condition of your lines, visit our website or ask your local rigger or give us a call. If you haven’t noticed, we love talking about lines!

Unlike the last update of archrival Netscape's browser package, which represented a major redesign, the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Public Preview makes less than earth-shattering changes. That said, Microsoft did enhance the Search Companion, tweak error reporting and integrate additional online privacy information. You'll also find a new Contacts Bar, Personal Bar, and Media Bar. We hoped for more significant changes, but were pleasantly surprised by the stability of this preview and encountered no problems launching a variety of sites.
Because IE6 will be part of the Windows XP OS package, not just a standalone product, the browser features the same colorful interface and icons as the new OS. Despite the complaints about Windows XP's bright interface, we found the change refreshing.
The IE6 Search Companion allows you to ferret out info on the Web or on your computer and provides you with a choice of four animated characters as guides. Thought-bubbles pop out of your chosen guide's head and prompt you for natural-language queries. But don't worry, characters are far less pushy than the annoying Clippy, and easily dispatched. We opted for Rover the dog.
The new Personal Bar provides a search box, as well as abbreviated MSNBC news, weather, and stock quotes, which you can tailor to your interests. If you've used the Netscape 6 Sidebar, you'll feel right at home with the IE6 Personal Barthey bear a close resemblance to each other. You can also customize your Personal Bar to include links to your favorite sites. The Contacts Bar lets you quickly access your contacts in Outlook or Outlook Express.
If you've used MSN Explorer, then the Media Bar will look somewhat familiar as well. Microsoft packs in a media player (which will be Media Player 8.0 in the IE6 final release), which you'll find in the bottom left-hand corner of the browser window. Open the bar and you'll see a list of entertainment, music, movies, and radio selections from WindowsMedia.com (Microsoft entertainment portal), that are accessible with one click. The site offers additional categories you can browse for your favorite music, movies, or other media and then play with the built-in media player. The player can be left in its default position or snapped off to float free of your browser.
Microsoft beefed up the way IE handles errors by giving the browser its own Dr. Watson that responds to crashes and automatically links you to a fix or to an article on how to correct the problem. You can also report crashes to Microsoftbut don't expect a response. Eventually this might result in a fix being posted on the company's Web site, so the problem is probably worth reporting if you have a minute.
All in all, this public preview provides a promising look of things to come for IE 6. We were impressed by the stability and speed (this beta was much more stable than the Netscape 6 beta), but were a bit disappointed by the meager ration of new features. IE 6 will be worth a look when released in its final form later this year, but don't expect it to have the same impact as its OS counterpart.

Even in hindsight, it takes courage for the captain of a ship to admit that almost everything had gone wrong at the beginning of the journey. But it comes naturally for Fahad Al-Rasheed.
The Group CEO and managing director of King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) chooses to take reversals suffered 10 years ago, when KAEC was launched, as sources of strength.
“Now, after 10 years, this economic and social development engine is really growing at speeds that I myself could not have imagined,” he said.
Fahad looked worn-out when he walked in for the interview toward the close of the Pearl Initiative-UNGC Forum in Dubai last week. Apparently, the conference – focused on encouraging region’s businesses to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals – had sapped whatever energy was left after Fahad’s long flight the previous night.
However, just one mention of the KAEC got Fahad started. “It is perhaps the largest single private sector infrastructure project today in the region,” he said, adding that Saudi Arabia is not just the largest market it is also politically stable.
Indeed, the 30 million sq meters industrial zone is bigger than initial industrial cities built in Saudi Arabia. “We have attracted 120 companies to invest; many are investing for the first time in Saudi Arabia,” Fahad said.
Fahad is quick to admit though that it is not just about infrastructure. “Cities succeed on the basis of two things – capital and capabilities. You either attract a company or attract people to come and live there,” he says. According to him, KAEC has been very good at the first part while the second is even more important.
KAEC has invested a lot in building a human capital initiative, which seeks to empower the youth. Such programs seem close to Fahad’s heart considering his own circumstances. He lost his father as a young man and had to spend time in Syria where her mother came from.
After few years at the oil giant, Fahad headed back again for an MBA at the Stanford Business School. He also had a brief stint as CFO and deputy governor of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA).
Fahad has personally invested a lot of energy in trying to engage with youth who have been out of high school for several years. KAEC’s program called Tomuh – or ambition – trains around 1,000 youth every year, providing English language courses, computer skills and career advice etc.
A project of KAEC’s scale cannot escape the geo-strategic reality of the region. This is where Fahad’s trademark optimism reaches another level. Once again it starts with taking into account the ground reality of turmoil, terror and tightening purse strings.
“The region has been in turmoil for a long time. We have a challenge every decade – the oil embargo, the Iran-Iraq war, the Iraq war, the Gulf War, the current Syrian conflict,” says Fahad. However, amid all this, Saudi Arabia has been the most stable country.
Interestingly, Fahad’s perception of the region transcends the land mass. This is why, according to Fahad, a sea connecting two countries is better than a land connecting two.
“So having this, and having 23 countries, 650 million people growing to 1.3 billion in just three decades, means you have the next India, the next China, the next emerging market,” Fahad signs off.

Gonzalo Bailador, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Madrid (Spain), developed two new identification systems for mobile users based on the users’ biometric features.
The first one is the signature in the air, the device can detect the user with it. This method is based on the extraction of the hand acceleration when signing in the air. This data is then compared to a pattern that was created the first time the software was initiated.
First some pictures of the user’s hand are taken, and with the use of some algorithms developed by Gonzalo Bailador, the software is then capable of extracting these unique characteristics from each person, which allows for secure and non-transferable identification.

Conclusion: — Thus we can say that the total process of market segmentation, targeting and positioning is a very important attribute of marketing mix. In other words, the marketer has an idea about whether to segment the market geographically, demographically, psychographically or behaviourally before undertaking any research. And brand positioning denotes the positioning of the brand viz-a-viz the competing brands in the chosen product category. In practice, demographic segmentation can potentially employ any variable that is used by the nation's census collectors. In a differentiated approach the firm targets one or more market segments, and develops separate offers for each segment. Not surprisingly, almost every consumer behavior variable has been proposed for segmenting markets.
Without right targeting, the firm cannot formulate an effective strategy.

News flash. Saturated fat is good for you. Like really good for you. The ultimate superfood. Seriously, give me a slab of butter over acai berries any day. I know this may come as a shock to some of you. In the last few decades, we have been led to believe that fat was the enemy, and saturated fat was something to avoid like the plague. As a society, we ditched the animal fats, like lard, tallow, and butter, and started consuming processed vegetable oils, shortenings, and margarine. Study after study seemed to prove that saturated animal fats caused a myriad of health issues and that we were better off using these new-fangled, highly processed substitutes. Like most people, I bought into this way of thinking for a long time. It wasn't until I began my real food journey that I realized how wrong I'd been. Undergoing an "oil change" was the single most influential dietary decision I've ever made. My diet has always consisted of real, whole foods with plenty of fruits, veggies, and protein but my choices regarding fats and oils were misguided, uninformed, and extremely detrimental.
Go back a hundred years, and you'd find lard and tallow in every kitchen. Go back a hundred years and you'd also find almost no obesity, heart disease, or diabetes. Coincidence? Hardly. Even the Golden Arches used to use tallow to fry their French fries until 1983 when they eventually switched to soybean oil. Vegetable oils like canola, soybean, and cottonseed are cheap and plentiful, the perfect recipe for processed food manufacturers. Unfortunately in America, the driving force behind our food supply is not the health of the people, but the almighty dollar. Food manufacturers care more about their pockets than our waistlines and well being. Consequently, cheap and dangerous vegetable oils replaced nourishing, time and labor intensive animal fats and we are all paying the price.
Saturated fats, like the ones found in coconut, butter, avocado, and meats play an integral role in every single bodily function. To gain a little perspective on how vital these fats are, we need to look no further than Nature's perfect food, breast milk. It's composition is 54% saturated fat, and no one could argue that is by mistake. Need more convincing? Each one of our cells are comprised of 50% saturated fat. Yes, you read that right. Half of our cell membrane's structure is saturated fat. Simply put, our bodies cannot function without it.
Okay, so maybe you're starting to buy into this whole animal fat as health food thing. But you're still a little hesitant. I know what you're thinking. You want to stay away from fat because, well, it makes you fat. That couldn't be further from the truth. Without getting all technical on you, hormones are responsible for our ability to either burn or store fat, specifically insulin and leptin. Our bodies are designed to break down fat and use it for energy but they can't and won't do this if there is excessive consumption of grains, processed foods, and refined carbohydrates. The reason? They are the easiest source of energy for the body to use. To better understand it we can use the bear and dumpster analogy. In campgrounds around the country, bear-people encounters are becoming more and more frequent. Bears are meant to eat berries and fish in the wild but have found a readily available food source in human garbage. Are they designed to eat leftover hot dogs and potato chips? Of course not. Is it easier to raid a dumpster or ice chest than to forage for their own food? Absolutely. The same goes for our bodies. After years of indulging on too many processed, refined foods, the body begins to prefer these easier sources of energy and doesn't metabolize fat as effectively. Too many refined carbohydrates and not enough healthy fat, and your body never taps into it's stored energy reserves, your adipose tissue. And if your body isn't using fat for energy, its storing it. Translation: you gain weight.
I can't stress this point enough: Our bodies are designed to burn fat as fuel, but to do so, we have to increase our consumption of healthy fats and reduce our intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars! Eat fat to burn fat as I like to say. Even my own husband is shocked by the amount of fat I eat and my ability to stay in tip-top shape. I keep trying to tell him, fat is the reason I am thin. I realize this sounds so contradictory, but my body is truly fat adapted, meaning I can consume copious amounts of butter and endless slices of avocado without the slightest worry that I might start packing on the pounds. The only caveat here is that you must limit your refined, processed carbohydrate intake. Period. End of story. As long as you follow these guidelines, you not only drastically reduce the likelihood of contracting a number of health related diseases, but you get to enjoy food with lots of flavor, all while staying slim. It doesn't get much better than that. You literally get to have your bacon and eat it too.
Step one. Gather your fat. Suet, the fatty layer around the kidneys, is the best if you can get it, but pretty much any hard fat will do. Preferably you want your fat to come from grass-fed, pastured animals as these will have the highest concentrations of valuable fatty acids, although I'd take tallow from conventionally raised animals over vegetable oils any day.
Step two. Place fat in freezer for a few hours. This will make it a breeze to cut.
Step three. Trim off any meat left on the fat and cut into small pieces or place in food processor.
Step four. You have three options here. All work well, but I prefer the stove top or crock pot.
Put fat in large, heavy bottomed pot or crock pot.
Turn on heat to lowest setting.
Cover and cook for 1-2 hours or until there is mostly golden liquid with hard bits floating on top.
Strain rendered fat through cheesecloth or coffee filter over a mesh strainer into a mason jar.
Put fat into Dutch oven or other oven safe pot.
Turn oven on to 200 degrees.
Cook until you are left with mostly golden liquid and hard bits floating on top.
Strain fat through cheesecloth or coffee filter over a mesh strainer into a mason jar.
Tallow will turn a creamy white when hardened and last about a year in the fridge. You now have a healthy, stable, high heat fat to cook and fry with! In our house it doesn't get much better than sweet potatoes fried in tallow or veggies roasted in this delicious fat.
Making tallow soap or lotion is next on my to-do list. What are your favorite uses for tallow?
Cant still bring myself to eating the fat of the animal, but I am interested on how to we know the meat we buy is tall grass fed.
I urge you to make the transition to eating animal fat, it is the fat that sustained our species for millennia. Not to mention, it makes everything taste so good! As for sourcing grass fed meat, the best bet is to find a local farmer or butcher that you can establish a relationship with. Aside from that, farmer's market's are a great place to find pastured animals, and most grocery stores now carry some form of grass fed beef, even Costco! Hope I've inspired you to make the switch to quality protein and more importantly, quality animal fats!

A great song from my friend Tim De Ferrars (source of the famed HMHS graphic). Over the years Tim has written some great songs but has sometimes struggled with his sounds and mixing (and perhaps his confidence most of all). Well on this one he's got it all right.
hook, oddly enough, followed by keys, drums, vocals and only then guitar.

Merseysider Matthew Barnes initially piqued interest in his Forest Swords material with 2010’s ‘Dagger Paths’ EP, an eerie set possessed of considerable promise.
But then, silence – the reason for the hiatus being that Barnes was experiencing significant hearing problems.
‘Engravings’ is an overdue debut album, then, composed across Barnes’ rehabilitation, but it’s one that delivers on the potential exhibited from day one.
This is mood-manifesting music of exceptional quality, experimental electronic fare of substance and, crucially, heart.
It aches and groans, creeping between shadows, always a hair’s breadth from the back of your neck.
Barnes’ winning trick is to ensure balance, though, between the epic blackness and shafts of light: ‘Thor’s Stone’ is moderately sprightly, for example, a corner-of-the-dancefloor shuffle in some basement den.
‘Onward’, though, is all creep-out clicks and spooked keys, and ‘Gathering’ loops disjointed voices into a slow-motion shamanistic trance.
Sink deeply into it, and experience a most exquisitely articulated darkness.

Home » Features » Interviews » Jonathan Albon: The Million Dollar Man?
Jonathan Albon is a man of many athletic talents. Just this year he’s won the OMM, become Skyrunning World Champion, won the OCR World Championships in Essex, won the Spartan World Championships (OCR) in North Lake Tahoe and the Spartan Trifecta World Championships in Greece, won the Tough Mudder World Championships in Seattle and even finished 4th at the Trail World Championships in Penyagalosa. And now – and this isn’t something we often say about runners – he stands on the brink of winning a million dollars.
The story behind this is that the founder of Spartan, Joe De Sena, vowed to give one million dollars to any athlete who won all three Spartan World Championship Races. Jon has won the first two and he seems favourite to win the last one, though there is some serious competition there. So is that million dollars nailed on? There’s a catch: in addition to winning Jon has cover 100 miles in the 24 hour time limit. Running 100 miles in 24 hours sounds entirely feasible, but when you start to factor in all the heavy carries and obstacles, it looks like a very tall order indeed.
The final race in the series takes place in Iceland and it’s the Spartan 24 Hour Ultra World Championship. As well as battling cold temperatures and potentially bad weather there’s also the matter of 40 obstacles to negotiate on each lap and reigning champion Joshua Fiore (USA) and close rivals Robert Killian (USA) and Ryan Atkins (Canada) for Jon to beat.
You definitely couldn’t say that Jon has chased this million dollar prize this year. In fact he only decided to do the Spartan Trifecta World Champs in Greece quite late on, having planned to finish his season at the end of October. This race kept him in the running for the million dollars, but it turned out that he still had to actually qualify to run the Ultra distance race in Iceland! He did this in Malaysia at a 50k race on December 1st. This gave him a week to recover for the Iceland race. A week’s recovery from a 50k before running for 24 hours isn’t ideal for most athletes, but it’s something Jon is used to. He races prolifically, and often travels a lot from his home in Norway to do that.
We will be following with interest and hoping he can do this.
Keep up to date with his progress by following Spartan Race on Twitter and Instagram.

To address many questions & concerns regarding the use of kettlebells in workouts (and to get a great workout, too!), we’ve asked Vince Motzo, Dean of Advanced Personal Training at the Swedish Institute and the Director of Education for KettleBell Concepts in New York City (bio below), to lead a kettlebell masterclass on Saturday, Nov 10: 12:30-1:45pm. In this hands on workout & lecture, you’ll feel for yourself how incredibly effective and fun they are, and Vince will clarify common misconceptions kettlebell workouts carry.
Kettlebells, like Pilates and Yoga, have, over the past 10 years, effectively been making a strong return to the world of fitness. These ancient tools (originally weights on scales in Eastern European markets) are—like Pilates, yoga, Gyrotonics and other skill based modalities—often misunderstood for what they can (and can’t) do for you. No—they’re not bad for your back. No, it’s not a high impact activity. No, you don’t have to be fit to use them. No, they’re not only for athletes; on the contrary, they were designed as a “tool for the masses” in the former USSR to get fit. Although we’ve yet to find one in the archives, since Joseph Pilates was a well-known lifter and certainly encouraged progressive resistance training, it’s very likely he picked up kettlebells back in his boyhood days in Germany. In personal conversations with Juliu Horvath, (Founder of GYROTONIC®) KettleBell Concepts learned he immediately knew what they were and remembered them from when he was a boy. And like Pilates, GYROTONIC® Yoga, dance, martial arts, etc. . . kettlebell training is also a life-long study. You can’t learn them in a day, weekend, or life time. (And that’s what makes them so versatile, fun, and an incredibly valuable tool you must have in your repertoire.) KB’s are incredibly cost effective and versatile and—not coincidentally—are slowly but surely starting to appear in small group personal trainings in yoga and Pilates studios around the country. The renowned Miami City Ballet was put on a KB protocol thanks to their Physical Therapist in Residence. Jock Soto, the former Principal Dancer of the NYC Ballet and winner of the Life time Achievement Award in Dance is a huge advocate. The list goes on as do the benefits and ‘bang for the buck’ they provide. On the aerobic side for example they burn a tremendous amount of calories. (20.2 calories a minute in a recent study from ACE http://www.acefitness.org/getfit/studies/kettlebells012010.pdf) Perhaps most importantly. . .they are an absolutely a fantastic complement to ANY other movement protocol.
Vincent Metzo is the Dean of Advanced Personal Training at the Swedish Institute and the Director of Education for KBC in New York City. Vincent’s dance, theatre, and acrobatics background lead him to choose exercise science and education as a career. His passion for kettlebells and training grew out of his early training as a dancer and acrobat. While studying with a student of Romana Kryzanowska and performing, he began training with Pilates-based mat work combined with resistance training (Back then you had to say “Pilates based!”) This experience set Vincent on the path to a Master’s degree in exercise physiology, training, coaching, a license in massage therapy and finally teaching. In addition to the development and teaching of the Focus on Flexibility Workshop Series and Flexibility and Corrective Exercise Specialist (FCES) certificate, Vincent is a strong advocate of training with kettlebells because of their transferability to real-life movements. Vincent has been teaching the first progressive curriculum based kettlebell boot camp since 2005 along with kettlebell sports camp for those interested in competitive lifting and the top secret strength and conditioning camp that combines kettlebells with other “low tech-high effect” tools such as ropes, sand bags, and acrobatic movement skills. His strength class has become the proving ground for IFET (Integrated Functional Explosive Training) the new Instructor Training licensed small group personal training offering from KettleBell Concepts. He lives in Westchester with his wife and twin sons.

A sustained dry period, changes in water licences and shortage of labour are making smart irrigation systems more attractive to potato farmers, according to Andrew Howseman of Howseman Agriculture. He will be speaking at the next Agri-Tech East Pollinator event, which is looking at smart irrigation, on 13th September 2018.
“Even farmers that have never needed irrigation before are considering it after this June,” says Andrew. “We’ve got people who’ve been irrigating for at least 50-60 days non-stop, which is completely unheard of.
“The season was slow to get started with all of the potato crops and root crops planted late in wet and cold conditions – which weren’t conducive to good growing –and then the temperatures that we’ve seen and the prolonged dry hot weather will have had an impact. In my opinion, yield will be affected by both ends of the spectrum.
“Usually, people would irrigate for a couple of weeks and then we would have three quarters of an inch of rain and they’d have a week or ten days off before they started irrigating again. It’s normally a bit of an up and down rollercoaster really.
“But this year people started and haven’t stopped, to the extent that reservoirs are running out of water and growers have had to prioritise specific crops, such as potatoes over onions and carrots. That’s been the juggling act and it continues to be so.
This is where the drip system developed by Howseman Agriculture comes into its own. It puts the water where it is need and uses 25-30% less water than a traditional hose and reel system and is much less labour intensive. Its six row drip-tape layer recently gained an ‘Innovation for Water’ award at the Lincolnshire Show.
Drip systems are perceived as expensive, but there is so much money riding on a crop of potatoes that the benefit of controlled water is becoming easier to justify. To help support the business case, Howseman Agriculture has started to offer a six-hectare package of drip tape irrigation together with installation and training so that growers can trial it without a big capital investment.
It seems likely that drier periods will become more frequent in future, which is creating more interest in smart irrigation. This is why Agri-Tech East is featuring this subject in its next Pollinator on 13 September 2018.
The event offers the opportunity to hear, in addition to Andrew: Paul Hammett, National Specialist, Water Resources, National Farmers’ Union; Prof Jerry Knox, Professor of Agricultural Water Management, Cranfield Water Science Institute (CWSI); Steve Moncaster, Supply Demand Strategy Manager, Anglian Water; Ed Bramham-Jones, Farm Advisor, Norfolk Rivers’ Trust; and Nigel Jupe, Chief Executive, Verdesian Ltd.

Backlog. Bottle from Systembolaget. The hoppiness takes a slight overhand with loads of yellow fruits (Citrus, apricots, orange).
Smak och doft av humle, malt, en aning karamell tillsammans med citrus-, aprikos-, persika- och grapefrukter. Lätt kropp med en citrus och örtbeska.
Bottle. Amber colour with a large white head. Fruity aroma. Hoppy rather bitter flavour.
Det här var en riktigt god öl med mycket smak av ’blommigt’ humle. Efterbeskan är både lång och skarp och ger ölen en skön känsla. Jag saknade en stadigare kropp men den är imponerande bra med tanke på alkoholhalten.
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 Bottle. Deep golden colour with a white head. Grape nose. Lots of citrus/grape flavour, with a well balanced malt body.
Bottle. Pours a light clear orange body with a small white head. Nose is pale malts, peaches, hints of honey and grass. Smooth. Taste is more grassy hop tones, peaches and hints of spruce and caramel. OK and quite drinkable, but a tad bit boring.
Floral and fruity hop aroma with hints of citrus, grapefruit, peach and apricot. The taste is the same, and especially the flavouring of grapefruit is coming through. The aftertaste is long and bitter. Nice, but it has too much bitter grapefruit in the taste for my liking!
Bottle at home. March 2011.
Pours golden yellow with a frothy white head. Strong grapefruit aromas, some pine and grass. Very fresh and green. No sweetness at all. The taste is also lacking sweetness which makes for a very dry and refreshing beer that go well with food. The taste is grassy with a citrusy, grass taste. Pretty bitter!
Pours a golden color with a nice white head, some lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, pine needles and apricot. Flavour is hoppy with refreshing piny/grapefruity hops and marked bitterness. Carbonation is lively. Light to medium bodied. Very nice.

It could be a boon for the US Coffers--at least according to our favorite little regulatory body: FASB.
Will the US Treasury begin booking the devaluation in US treasuries as a gain, ala Jamie Dimon's comments a few weeks ago about accounting standards (banks mark-to-market profits when their bonds fall due to buy-back costs declining)? It would surely be the finest gov't accounting scandal YTD.
Maybe M2M isn't looking so bad afterall.

Keeping your home up-to-date with the latest trends in flooring materials and installation innovations might be really intimidating.
Unique, durable, and stylish tile floors are at the leading edge of the Flooring Revolution in recent years. Tiles are known as an affordable back-up to natural stone and a preferred option for many households.
If you are planning to renovate your floor and are looking for ideas, you are in the right place! Follow our tips to impress your guests with the right floor tiles.
The distressed floor style has been around for quite a while but has become even more popular lately. We expect to see more homeowners go for that luxury aged look in their flooring in the following years as well.
This type of tile goes through an artificial aging and styling process that gives it a slightly worn finish. It is perfect for places where a beautiful rustic look is desired.
Distressed concrete flooring can be integrated into most types of interiors but works best in contemporary and industrial home styles.
If you want to impress your home visitors, consider using textured tiles for your flooring.
They have been designed to resemble other materials, not just in look but also in feel. The similarity of porcelain wood grain tile with actual wood is almost indistinguishable.
Textured tiles imitate wood not only in term of colors but with grain pattern, too. Even the feeling of the texture, while walking on it, is very close to the real material.
Besides wood look-alikes, you can install porcelain floor tiles that are equal to natural stone in almost all aspects. Thanks to advanced technology, you can take advantage of a wide range of flooring. Porcelain tiles can be manipulated and styled to produce an endless variety of different textures and designs.
Carpet tiles are a new-aged, stylish alternative to the standard carpet rolls. They are much easier for a do-it-yourself installation and incredibly flexible for easy access to the floor underneath.
They are also appropriate for rooms that are constantly subject to maintenance because technicians can easily gain access to underfloor cables.
Besides that, carpet tiles weigh less and are easy to work with due to their stable textile.
Few people are willing to use their flooring as an art canvas. But if you want to be unique, use the patterns of graphic tiles to create art right under your feet.
With modern technology, manufacturers are able to replicate an endless variety of images on tiles.
You can acquire tiles with repeating patterns or go for ones that, like a jigsaw puzzle, transform into one large pattern on your floor. Graphic tiles are usually in monochromatic colors but depending on your preferences, they can come in bold multicolored writings and patterns.
Terracotta tiles are not a new thing, but they are riding a new wave of popularity. Nowadays, these tiles are bit less shiny and orangey than the variety that graced so many kitchens in the early and mid ’80s.
Terracotta tiles are available in glazed varieties, as well as ones fired from darker clays. With growing fame, this type of tile is fully capable of impressing your house guests.
Whether it is distressed wood, or textured, graphic, carpet or terracotta tiles, buyers are looking for new and exciting options that will turn their boring floors into statement pieces. And there is no lack of new and innovative materials to accomplish the style your wildest imagination can create.

The knee-ear posture or Karnapidasana in Hindi is an advanced inversion yogasana attributed with the benefits of deep spinal flexion and intense stretch of the hips. Going by a sequence, this advanced feat comes after the considerably challenging Halasana. Therefore, to be successful in this posture, one must master the preceding expertise level asanas, mainly Halasana and Sarvangasana which are also partly present in Karnapidasana.
1. Since the karnapidasana position is basically an advancement over the Plow pose or Halasana, you must begin in it as well. Form out on the mat in the Plow pose with your shoulders tucked to the underside. You are at the liberty to either keep your hands flat by your side on the floor or interlace them behind your back.
2. Start bending your knees and haul them on the floor to either side of your head which should now be carefully bent at the neck and fixed with chin to the floor.
3. Let your feet rest on the floor with the heels up and toes touching the ground.
4. At this point, feel your knees close by your ears. Press them hard together, while feeling the thrust on the ears. This effectively cuts the aural distractions and thus, quite literally executes the Pratyahara principle of Ashtanga yoga.Pratyahara refers to the disengagement from sensory experience or in other words, external stimuli.
5. When you decide to release, let go of your arms first, slowly rolling out of the posture, perceiving disentanglement vertebra by vertebra. Breathe strong and deep as you come out. Approximately five breaths.
Note: The head is subjected to a lot of weight in the karnapidasana yoga. It is advisable to avoid turning the head from side to side once you have formed into the posture. To ensure this, steadfastly fix your gaze ahead.
You can modify the karnapidasana yoga posture with more support for your torso.
● Support the back with interlaced hands propped behind the spine.
● Infusing balance and comfort, keep a block behind your head to rest your feet upon.
● Maintain your knees at forehead level and bring up your hands folded to the ears.
● For some instant energy burn, get out of the posture in an Ashtanga-Vinyasa Style Jumpback Somersault. This is chakrasana. Loosen off your arms from behind your back. Fold up the elbows and situate your hands right under the shoulders. Coil up your toes to the underside. Press straight into your palms and feel your arms straighten. Follow this up with a nice back roll into Downward Dog.
Reaching a Deep Concentration Level By Disengaging from Aural Stimuli: Everyone of us has felt it at some point. External stimuli can continuously bombard us with an overload of sights, sounds, information, misinformation, and make it hard for the mind to nestle in peacefulness. What’s worse, we become so accustomed to this overkill that our mind may just be addicted to it! As a result, we are continuously and voluntarily opting to hook on to our networking and media devices. Yoga states a caution against such distraction from mindfulness and asks us to follow reasonable refrains. In order to connect to our deepest selves, we must sit back and un-tune from everything and turn more to inner listening.
This forms the pratyahara tenet of Ashtanga Yoga.The yoga karnapidasana posture allows the practitioner to literally disengage from the environment by means of ear obstruction and the head shelled up between the knees. Thus, these brief moments at the zenith of the posture can build undisturbed concentration.
Builds Great Fortitude in the Spine: Karnapidasana steps avail many key spinal movements in the practice. The most impactful of these is flexion of the spine. The movement arches the spine downwards and to the front, giving a nice long stretch to the posterior chain. In this advanced posture, the degree of fortitude enhancing flexion is way more than in the Cat Pose or Child’s Pose.
Digestion Improvement with Intestinal Backrub: The overarching spinal column stretch in this posture also means a deep massage of the internal organs, especially, the intestine. The fold at the stomach should send your digestive juices raving, bringing up the metabolic rate sky-high.
With better digestion and better digestive glandular activity, a variety of skin related karnapidasana yoga benefits will be coming your way. Soft, glowing, clear skin are natural outcomes of a proper digestive cycle!
Tones the Rear and Thighs: The legs down, buttocks up high point of yoga karnapidasana is a super formula for rear toning and stretching of the thighs. Keep up at this pose for 5-7 minutes and you are definitely going to come out with more character in your buttocks.
Creates Pressure on the Thyroid Gland: The thoracic cavity and thyroid glands are recipients of a gentle but useful thrust. Healthier hormone secretion is one of the top benefits of Karnapidasana and reason why it should be on your posture curriculum list.
Stay clear of this practice if you are going through menstruation, menopause or loose bowel syndrome at the moment.Since the karnapidasana steps are extremely exacting for the neck, keep safe in case of a sustained neck injury.Leg support with props is advised for cases of Asthma or high B.P.

Hermione was almost done before Draco would pick her up. She were in her parents house and had fixed herself. The dress was red like blood and she wore a matching neckless.
She hadn't done so much with her hair but it looked good anyway. It was a few minutes before she would be at the Malfoy manor so she checked if she had everything with her.
When she was just about to take her purse with her and take her jacket, someone knocked on the door. She jumper by the sound of it, and was starting to think about who it was.
It couldn't be Draco, right? He bareley don't know where she lives in the muggle world. She took a deep breath and opened the door. When she saw his face she didn't know if she would be happy or just confused. For the moment, she was both.
" Ron?!" The ginger boy smiled at her with a kind smile and opened up his arms.
" I know we're not dating, but can I still have a hug?"  Hermione came back down to earth and gave him a sisterly hug. " How are you Ronald?" She asked.
" I'm fine, it's hard working though. But I've been through worse" Hermione chuckled at their memories together at Hogwarts and all their crazy adventures.
" So where are you going?" He said when he noticed her dress and neckless and make up.
Hermione wasn't sure if she would tell him the truth. Maybe he would get upset and leave? But he was her friend so he wouldn't.
" I'm going to a Christmas party" She said with a weak smile. " How fun! Where?"
" Uhm, well, don't get mad or anything....but...."
" Hermione seriously what is taking you so long....oh....hi Weasley" Ron turned around and faced the blonde and pale Slytherin boy with the stormy grey eyes.
" Malfoy??" Ron looked at Malfoy then to Hermione, then back to Malfoy.
" Yeah...he invited me to his family's Christmas party" Hermione explained. " But I don't know how he found me"
" I wanted the pleasure to pick you up myself. But the party has already started and...."
" Yes sorry. But Ron came here and..."
" How are you Malfoy?" Ron suddenly said and didn't let his eyes off Malfoy.
" I'm fine Weasley. You?"
" I'm fine, never been better" Hermione just stared at the two boys and could feel the tense moment they all shared.
" Shall we go, Draco?" Draco smiled and nodded.
" You can stay in the house if you want Ron, ask Harry  to come over maybe? I'll see you later"
After they disapparated Hermione finally asked " How in the bloody wizarding world did you find me?!"
" I have my ways ms Granger" He took her hand and held it close to him.
" Shall we?" He said.
" Yes" She replied nervously.

Yay, I’m finally ALIVE! No, seriously – I’ve been in bed and seriously nursing the flu and then a cold for the last week, ringing in the new year in bed. I finally feel like I can get it together and get on the grind to start 2017. Hey, I’m only 7 or 8 days late – right? lol. Since I’m finally moving around and starting the year, I figured I would share my 2017 goals. These goals consist of those that are personal, blogging or anything in between. What I love about sharing them here on the blog, is that it kind of holds me accountable and that way I have no excuse but to keep on top of them. Let’s get started shall we?
1.) Lose Weight. This may seem like a given for anyone, especially those like me in my particular circumstance. But, the fact is – I’m slowly getting my health back in order and plan to not only continue eating healthier, but also really work on improving my self image and health overall – both physically and mentally.
Sub-goals: Make sure that I a) include more vegetables in my daily meal intake. b) try to eliminate the carbs and starches that plague me badly – i.e. reduce my rice, noodles and bread intake. c) reduce meal portion sizes while making sure I am eating through the day (my biggest issue is that I don’t have time to eat, so I must make time to eat). And, d) continue to increase my exercise daily.
2.) Be smart with purchases. Only buy new products when I’m running low or when I’ve actually run out of them. As a makeup addict, I often times find myself ooing and ahhing over the newest thing. In 2016, I did really well with purchases and didn’t purchase everything and anything that was newly released. This year, in 2017, I want to incorporate the same but really stick to it. After destashing and donating a lot of cosmetic items for 2016, I realized that I need to truly use what I already have. Money hard earned should be money well spent and buying makeup items only to have them sit since I only have one face, well – I have better things to do with my finances. I want to continue minimal self spending and splurging and continue to buy less – no matter what it may be… makeup, skin care, planners, pens, whatever.
3.) Get organized. This may seem like an easy task for someone like me who likes structure, but the fact of the matter is… I could do so much better. My desk – while I can find whatever it is I’m looking for, is a mess. While my time scheduling is organized and structured, my paperwork is a mess and I would love to bring more organization to my household overall. This may seem like an easy task for one person, but I balance the organization for a whole household of 5 members and I would love to be able to really kick it in gear and get it together.
Sub-goals: a) I would like to organize the paperwork on my desk and in my files. Trying to reduce paper clutter and keep it at a minimum, keeping only the papers that are needed. I would like to come up with a proper filing system so that I have an easier time with paperwork. b) I really need to organize our household better. Each month we take donations and try to keep clutter at a minimum, but I think there is so much more I could do. And, c) I need to organize my time better. This is important since I work from home. I need to be able to organize my work and home schedule to try and make sure I have enough time in the day to accomplish all the things I need to do.
4.) Wear my hair down more. This may seem like something that is already being done in my life… but the fact of the matter is, I still consistently wear my hair up in a bun or pulled back. I need to embrace my natural curls and my hair and really need to find the time and effort to get it under control so that I can wash and wear it easily – without constantly pulling it up. Since I wear my hair up so often, I am quite accustomed to not having anything in my face and that in it’s own is a difficult thing to get used to. My goal is to commit to wearing my hair down at least 2x a week so I can get used to it without sacrificing the “on-the-go” lifestyle I live.
5.) Wear more dresses or dress up more. Come on now, I have really never been a dress wearing girl. I’m a tomboy and will wear a pair of jeans or shorts with a t-shirt as much as possible if allowed. I would like to dress up a little more or wear more dresses so that I’m not so casual. There’s nothing wrong with dressing casually – it’s just that I do it so much, I forget what it is like to dress up sometimes. By putting on a dress or just adding a little more flair to my outfits, I think it would make a world of a difference.
6.) Eliminate the negativity and keep positive, striving for joy. This particular goal may seem like an easy one, but trust me when I say it has been anything but easy the last few years. I would like to do everything in my power to eliminate the negativity and strive for joy. By keeping the negative nancys out of my personal bubble and keeping positive aspirations, goals and overall happiness in my life – I think I can accomplish this goal. Spreading joy and happiness where I go while not feeding into others negative thoughts will make a huge difference in my life.
7.) Back to Lifestyle posts. Honeygirl’s World is technically a lifestyle blog and boy do I miss it. I feel like I’ve focused so much on product reviews or beauty and skin care over the last year, that I have lost sight of where my passion lies. I love sharing new products or reviews with all of you – but I also want to really incorporate more of my life on the blog. That is how I started blogging to begin with – to document my life’s story. So, my goal this year is to incorporate at least one lifestyle post a week. Whether it be to share my weight loss and health journey each week, post Sunday letters or just sum up life with my family each week – it’s my goal to go back to it and keep at it. Honeygirl’s World is my life, my world and I need to get back to my roots and remember where I started and how I got here.
Of course, a new year comes with new goals and I’m sure I’ll have a plethora more to add to this list as the year progresses. While many of these goals may seem a bit simplistic – it may not be that case for many because it’s all a matter of changing the way one thinks and how they proceed to do things. Since Honeygirl’s World is a lifestyle site, I plan to come back in the coming months and share how I’m accomplishing these goals and if I have had an positive change.
I wish all of you reading this a wonderful New Year. Whether you are making goals for yourself to accomplish or just plan on living life to its fullest, or both – may your year be filled with joy and happiness.

I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling better, Honey! Hoping that I will too soon. This cold seems impossible to shake. It’s great to lay out goals so you can keep them in mind going forward. I definitely relate to the plan for more vegetables and fewer carbohydrates. It must be tough feeding three active, growing and very thin boys and staying on track as a mom. Hope 2017 is a great year for your all!
You’ve got some great goals and one that I plan on doing myself! Less negativity and less “stuff” is my motto this year! I felt like last year I accumulated so much stuff that I sit in my office and actually thought to myself “why do I have all of this junk” so I’m on a mission this year to have less “stuff” and “junk” laying around! Glad you’re feeling better, I got sick right around NYE and am still recovering!
Excellent goals. I didn’t know you started as a lifestyle blogger since I’ve just known you with beauty but the posts like that that I’ve read have been excellent. Buying less because it’s pretty and organizing are my two main goals.
Don’t worry girl, I’ve had such a slow start this year on the blog too. One day at a time, right?! I’ so with you on the making smarter purchases deal. I’ve really cut down on makeup buying, and it feels so good!
I love your goals! Mainly because I feel like mine sync up so much. I feel like a lot of bloggers are in the same mind set in terms of not buying “it all” and getting back to what feels right for them.
I’m so sorry that you had a sucky beginning to your year and I’m glad that you’re feeling better. I like your goals list, I have a few of those on my list, as well. I know that you’ll rock it out, you are fabulous, like that.
Glad you’re feeling better! Your goals are great!! We share a lot of the same ones. Good luck with yours!

Daily sale, turnover, competition, staff, recruitment, budget, marketing and customer services are a few of the things every business has to deal with. For a business, it is important to know if it is progressing or not. However, there are no specified parameters which can help one at this stage and show the true picture of the business. For the operator hence only a few figures available that can show if it is in the right direction or not. These figures are provided by the accounts.
The accounting software can help one to get the figures in just a few clicks. It is also much helpful to have complete track and record of every transaction. The technology has developed some software that can help the business operators get the advantage of easy accounting. As the market has many software available which are developed by the expert developers, one can easily find the best business accounting software. Before going for software, one can check his features and requirements of the business. If both of them match, one can get the software. In case one does not find any such software that can meet the requirement of the business, he may go for the development of the same as the market has many expert developers who can help the business get the required software developed in a short span.
How to hire the developer?
Hiring the right developer is a precondition for getting the right software developed. Many developers are there in the market who possess skills and expertise, and hence they can prove helpful to the business for availing the right software. One needs to get into the discussion for the development of software and ask for the demonstration of the software that the developer may have developed before. The developer must be asked to provide his quote and also the time by when he can provide the software developed. One can compare the quotes provided by various developers and also check the terms and conditions of each of them. The comparison can help the client get the right software developed at the right price.
There is also TheNextHint available in the market. The benefit of this accounting system is one does not have to store the data on any drive or system. One can also access the data and software from any other location easily. Hence those businesses where the central authority wants to have a check on the accounts can go for this accounting system.
However for the use of cloud accounting one must have a live internet connection and hence those areas where the connectivity is a problem, this system may not work that much. The accounting software whether one wants to go for the normal software or cloud-based, one needs to have regular updates and other services from the developers which the client must discuss at the initial stage only. With the help of the right developer, accounting can be made easier.

Is a compiled ELF/x32 on a successful hacked machine.
Compilation traced to gcc, Linux is main target, xBSD or other *NIX system supported Linux compatibility also can be affected.
It was faking bash as "-bash" in process (ps) at xBSD which doesn't used that shell so it was spotted easily.

Thank's for the info. I checked the page & chat with the owner.
The fact is: we don't know for sure. do we?
Yes I saw some similarities, but that "could be" another variant. yes?
i.e. jarmoc.com's reported case was Linux, and no binary compiled report/hash on that. I need to see something to compare to be confirmed/sure.
Is that one for sure and "that one" being a slight modification of better known "kaiten.c" aka Kaiten a Linux/Unix DDOS IRC bot.
