    1. Frosted back design - would attract less fingerprints and gives a subtle premium feel to the design.
    2. Triple main camera setup - 48MP primary with OIS, wide angle lens to be atleast 12MP to get that tad bit more quality in images and depth 5MP. Personally I don't prefer the 2mp macro lens as the image quality is not satisfactory.
    3. Headphone jack - wireless audio is not on par with wired audio yet, but at the same time most people are not audiophiles. The lack of a headphone jack becomes a big deal, since these wireless earphones are not affordable, according to the indian market atleast. Most people will be satisfied with a sub 1k earphones. So to meet somewhere in between, a USB type C to headphone jack dongle in-the-box should do the trick.
    4. Single selfie camera - It is sufficient for a midrange device and is less obtrusive than the pill shape cutout. "Clean viewing experience".

    Other than the above, the midrange SoC, 90hz fluid amoled display, NFC and quick charge, are all here to stay.

    Well, let's be honest, I'm not an artiste, although I try, I know what I like, but can't really express what my mind thinks to what I end up trying to create. I think of an amazing vista, complete with sunset, rolling windswept hills, animals frolicking around, etc. However, when I try to draw it, in reality, it just comes out like a bunch of stick figures.

    <sigh> it is what it is I guess, not my forte, so I no I have no chance to be even considered for this type of contest, neverless, I had a couple of simple perhaps thoughts if I indeed was the product manager. Always lots of ideas, but here are the first I came up with for now. Hope someone enjoys:

    1) Dedicated Camera Shuttter

    The first I'd add was a dedicated camera shutter button on the outside of the phone. I'd probably place it on the right side of the device along with the alert slider and power button, but near the bottom. Holding the phone in landscape mode would be ideal to hit the button for focusing and taking photos. Why? Just because, sometimes the screen gets in the way of tapping and taking a photo. A dedicated button would give you the feeling of an old style camera but on a modern device. It is also something that could make the product more unique for it's camera facilities compared to other devices on the market. This is an area that hasn't really been done before, plus the button could be configured in OxygenOS for some other purpose when not in camera mode. Like hold it for voice memos or call up the assistant for example.

    2) Camera Layout.

    Maybe this is not possible given the positional elements of the cameras, but I thought, why not try to move them around. How though? We currently have a line of 4 cameras, that pretty much all phones have, it's a bit boring to be honest. So, let's change the layout and tie it into the supposed brand's direction of North or True North.

    I re-arranged the cameras into a triangle housing. The housing acts like an arrow in a compass, pointing North, thus at a glance you get a visual identity of the Nord and it's New Beginnings motto, always pointing true, just as you would your camera when taking a perfect shot. These are just some starting point ideas. I wasn't really sure what the contest itself was about cause it seems quite broad and not terribly specific. Anyway, perhaps I will add additional ideas as I go along.

    Here's are some simple renders I did of the designs with some other other thoughts:

    The Nord A? need think of a name for it haha. Anyway, you can see what I was thinking for the camera array, it stands out more, like an arrow, pointing North. I also added the camera button on the bottom left to get a sense of what I meant. This is still 4 cameras, 1 top, 1 middle, 1 bottom left / right and flash in the middle.

    Classic OnePlus Red?

    Had a try at some case ideas, thinking of the North, made me think of mountains, ice, etc.

    Mountain Bumper

    Anyway, I have no chance to win, I'll admit defeat there, that way I won't be saddened or disappointed haha, but wanted to share anyway, since I did some work on it already. I wasn't planning on even doing that cause maybe wasn't good enough, but I kind of think it has an interesting look, start of something kinda vibe.

    Let's talk consumer segment and market share...

    Why do people buy Iphone, is it only brand, fluent software/ecosystem ? Including high percentage of women..

    Relatively smaller phone, can be operated from one hand and one charger fits all..

    So, nord is near perfect, need another smaller variant (5"), little slimmer, lighter and wireless charging...25% new segment captured..

    Second post will follow..

    Here is what My Nord would be like... (as a product manager)
    Disclaimer - I have no technical ability nor proper understanding so... if something is wrong, I can only apologise!
    Kutos to product managers, there's certainly a lot to think about! This was certainly a challenge.
    I literally have no idea what everyone else has done btw so will be having a look once this is complete.
    Edit (wed 29th July) - removed Macro lens. Software should be able to enable this maybe with the telephoto.
    Edit (Sunday 2nd August) - forgot to remove macro on colours part. Now removed.

    Q1595885498818 , Jul 27, 2020 :
    I would simply suggest to go back to original one-plus success rules. Offer less but really solid product
    If there is no IP certification and wireless charging then why 6 cameras? and why mediocre ones. just to increase counts? My suggestion.
    (1) One camera in front 16mp, 3 Cameras in back 48mp standard+16mp wide+5 (depth sensor)
    (2) Solid aluminium frame instead of plastic one
    (3) Charging cable in new nord series blue or grey to have its own brand identity.
    (4) If possible (by cost) put stereo speakers

    And stop Oneplus 8 and Oneplus 8 pro models. instead have only the pro version on the top and nord on the economy side. Make less but make good stuff.

    Body design of oneplus nord looks amazing. i would really congratulate your team for this. No changes needed.

    I wud make sure it does not overshadow the company s flagship oneplus 8
    Seriously the oneplus 8 looks like a joke compared to nord lemme tell u y
    First of all
    To an average consumer nord is going to be preferred first has it has a quad cam (though u 2 camera s are useless)
    Selfie camera is better than its flagship smartphone s

    Now i know im only talking camera s but dont the buyer s in an avg and biggest market of ur product (india) who bought an one plus 8 feel cheated that a cheaper model has a way better camera system for the avg use and he could have saved almost 20k rs if he wud have waited for 2months

    I would like all options of any phone available when buying from one plus website. Seems restrictions are placed on certain colours of phone. Like the Nord you can only get the 12GB Ram 256GB on the blue phone not the Gray. My only real idea would be to give newer processor and UFS 3.0. and retain flat screen or make very small curves at edges. Also I would like to see some style of phones with the Oneplus logo lit up like you find on gaming phones and accessories for example dark blue/black/gray with gold/yellow led logo.

    Current design looks awesome especially the blue marble [e]1f499[/e]

    Some features i would add rather.

    I would definitely use Metal Frame rather than plastic.
    3.5mm widely used.

    2mp macro is of no use, telephoto lense more useful.

    Add one more color variant may be divine white or pearl white.

Madcatz PS3 controller hack

I’ll preface by saying I’m a recent CompE graduate from Purdue so this should be well within my abilities.

I’m trying to build my own hitbox and have a few questions and need some advice. I did my best to search and look through FAQs so I’m hoping I’m not spamming the forum up/ignoring rules.

  1. Is the Madcatz PS3 as simple as the 360 to solder to? I’ve looked through threads and only seen the 360 version.

  2. If I want to dual mod (PS3 + Xbox) with say a chimpboard? later on, do I have to start with a Xbox360 controller?

  3. I’m a computer engineer not an electrical engineer; however, for the first 2 years of college the 2 curriculums were nearly mirrored. Is there a type of Solder I should be using? A temperature range? I’ve had some failed attempts with a a six-axis when it comes to hitting the smaller spots on the actual PCB.

  4. Is the lag of a wireless controller but plugged in the same as a non-wireless controller?

Thanks in advance all.

-If you are going to use a CHIMP on a dual mod there is no need for the PS3 controller. the Chimp will run the PS3 and you will simply have to solder the 360 pad to it for dual mod.
-Sounds like you are set on using the PS3 controller you can use an IMP to solder connections for the 360 pcb to get a dual mod function. It is a bit cheaper than the Chimp and just as simple.
-I have never used a PS3 controller for dual mod but reading through some threads before I know that it is common ground and you shouldnt have a problem with the dual mod.
-Many here suggest regular rosin core solder for these. the lead free has a diffrent melting point and may cause problems? I dont care to really know the diffrence but regular rosin core 60/40 is suggestion of many.
-seeing that many players prefer wired controllers over wireless its safe to assume that there is a big diffrence with lag but ps3 and 360 have such great set ups wireless it is hard to really say. personally I dont notice the lag issue with the current wireless controllers but many live and die on the corded controllers (as long as the cord isnt over 20 feet in lenth).

You sound like you want to do wireless? You should look into an AXISdapter or Leo board, depending if you want to do a dual mod. Leo board makes the SIXAXIS/ early DS3 boards common ground and makes it easy to solder to via ribbon cable, while AXISdapter just makes it much easier to solder to, by using a ribbon cable as before. The latest official xbox 360 wireless controllers are common ground, except in the triggers, which makes them suitable for a dual mod out of the box, and have big enough points to padhack, that you really don’t need a board for them.

As far as solder and temperature ranges go, there’s nothing specific you really need. As long as it sticks things together and connects them, you’re fine.

Don’t bother with the Madcatz PS3 controller. It’s probably easy enough of a padhack, but ChImp is a much better option for a dual mod, because it adds in console autodetection.

You don’t have to start with either console in particular. It’s just easier and preferred to add PS3 to 360 than the other way around. But if you start with a custom with ChImp, then it wouldn’t really be much harder. As far as xbox 360 controllers go, you either want a madcatz 4716, or a fightpad, with the easier being the fightpad, unless if you can get a board out of a TE or SE, they are nice, too.

Tourneys highly prefer wired, because anybody with a wireless synced to the tourney xbox can accidently bump the guide button and totally ruin a game. Hence, most people wanting to show off their glamourous sticks at tourneys stick with a wired controller. It’s not really an issue of lag, if there is any difference, it’s certainly miniscule, like the 1 frame lag difference of madcatz and Hori PCBs, but Daigo still plays a TE and wins, even if there’s this 1 frame of lag tacked on. If you’re used to it, you’ll be fine with it.

Do not use a Madcatz PS3 pad unless it is the fighting pad. They have issues with directions.

I was impatient and bought a random wired controlled ( Afterglow AP.1 Controller for PS3 - Blue “New for 2010”: Playstation 3: Video Games). I’m wondering if I can de-solder the two analog sticks and have the controller still work. Anybody know?

You’ll probably have to substitute some resistors. The analog sticks are usually 2-d potentiometers.

    It's none of your business

    5 Years? 5 minutes is too long, if the vehicle is not on the stolen or untaxed list and not wanted in connection with a crime, then you are not entitled to store the information under the right of privacy.

    Where innocent people go and what innocent people do is none of your fooking business Jacqui and ACPO. They have the right to privacy, you can't PRESUME they will be guilty of a future crime to simply remove that privacy right. That's the presumption of innocence right.

    When you start tracking faces and matching up the faces to a biometric passport record and logging the movements of individuals, it will also be none of your fooking business.

    When you start centrally recording all emails sent, phone call numbers and web visits, and all credit card transactions and linking those back to the individual, that will be none of your fooking business too. Which innocent person talks to which innocent other person is also none of your fooking business.

    And when you're out of power and the next person seeks to use it, I hope you are the first target they use it against, because you, Jacqui Smith Home Secretary, are the biggest threat the UK faces now. Not terrorism, not crime, not disease, *you*. You are the one attacking ordinary people in the street, you are the one removing freedoms, you are the one undermining their rights, you are the threat Britain faces.

    This should have been agreed and discussed in Parliament, yet again it seems to have been discussed in a secret meeting and only revealed by force of the judicial Freedom of Information request. Why is it, the *laws* are kept secret, if they're doing nothing wrong why do they hide these? What happened to the democratic controls?

    And yet again it looks like Brown is not in charge, stuff happens and he does a speech and there's no sense that he's got any idea of the bigger picture or any control over what's happening.

    "fully and strategically exploit"

    exploit being they key here, much like the 'exploiting' of terrorism laws to protect our citizens from people who breath in the wrong place.

    And 5 years from when? the beginning of the tailing or the end? if they update the information (for the hell of it; lets assume they're crafty buggers trying to get around the law, new concept I know) every year, does that reset the 5 years each time?

    blast it, let em store it. Lets give them so much bloody data that the incompetent bastards get lost in it and stop using it. They're clearly better now than they were before, they're more profitable, so that must mean they're doing good.

    RE: It's none of your business

    While it's perfectly true that it's wrong to store and track the plates of people who are not guilty, thanks to the widespread range of ill-defined laws everyone is already guilty of something. Given the recent theme, probably of several things involving the word "terror". Welcome to the new and perfect world. Now please pass over all that data so that we can tell just what you are guilty of in case we need to detain you.

    A call for grass roots level system-bucking

    Quite a few times now I have seen the pigs camped up on main roads with their ANPR van on a session of money gathering from people who might have made a mistake, and who's actions probably haven't hurt anyone.

    The main road from Redditch into Birmingham seems to be one of their favourite spots, just about where the arrow is on this map:,277070&st=4&ar=Y

    The pigs park their van on the grass on the right of the road (I must remember to go and dump the contents of a box of nails on that grass), where they can hide the van in a dip and it can't be seen by a driver until the last minute. I've seen them on the A38 just north of Wychbold too. To me, based on where I have seen the police doing their mobile ANPR from a van they appear to be trying to cover major routes across the country that aren't the motorways: Basically the m'ways are covered by ANPR and people know it, therefore those who don't want to be tracked will be avoiding the motorways.... best get the cameras watching the major trunk roads too, and mobile ANPRing the best they can manage at the moment.

    My call for grass roots action is that if we are all going to be treated as if we are guilty by the government, then we should behave as if we are guilty. It is very obvious when you are approaching somewhere where the pigs are doing mobile ANPR, as there will be many bikes or cars hiding in gateways as you approach, and you may see a car or two that has been pulled over.

    As it is so easy to spot the pigs doing this, when you see the ANPR van, just turn your car around and find an alternate route (usually as simple as a quick trip around the block, then carry on the way you were going). If even a small number of people start doing this, it will make the mobile ANPR searches infeasible to manage, as it will take up far too much police time dealing with system-buckers.... the police will no-doubt go tearing after people who turn their cars around when the driver sees the ANPR van. The police's arguments will boil down to "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear". Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows what BS that is, and should be able to point that out to the police. Protest isn't illegal yet, nor is turning your car around.

    brilliant. $200 for a full tank of diesel....i was in the states a couple of years ago and was paying about $20 a tank...and drove back from the ukraine, through slovakia, czech republic, poland, germany, netherlands, belgium and france..then dover and to west london.... in the 2200km prior to london, i counted 2 speed cameras, in the 80km across it there were about 40....that's almost one for every mile....

    and not including the joys of congestion charging cameras (i've been prosecuted!), parking cameras, yellow box cameras(120 pound fine, I got one!), and bus lane add the dna database(highest percentage of populace in the world), tv licensing harrament(50% discount for the blind, seriously? this is 2008), talking cameras (google it)....i've always wondered why brits bend over and take all this shite from their own government, coz if this happened back home, people would riot and protest next to the guvenor's why don't you do that? oh sorry i forgot that's illegal :o)

    " Remember that this data could be used to prove alibis, i.e. to reduce false convictions. " - Except that you'll never be able to get your hands on the data (unless you're a politician trying not to get caught doing something you shouldn't have been).

    The existing data protection laws will stop access, and if they won't the government will simply claim 'National Security!' and lock out all access.

    Interesting point though, under the data protection act can we ask to see what images and data the government holds on us? If we all start regularly requesting this data they'll be totally swamped with requests and hopefully they won't have time to use the data to prosecute anyone.

    "Remember that this data could be used to prove alibis, i.e. to reduce false convictions."

    Yes it *could* be used to prove alibis. If the lawyers get good at getting hold of it then it could be a very good tool in your defence. However look who owns the information and who controls it. If the evedence is unhelpful for their case then it won't be available.

    There was a case of a police car running down a girl. There were loads of witnesses who said the police car was doing 100mph with no police lights or siren. However the police are going to examine the cars computer to find out the truth.

    Computers can be very acurate but those in control of them can lie. It should be normal to have systems independantly examined.

    What you need to do...

    What you need to do to avoid these is to get some blackout plates. How about some of that glass that turns black when current is run through it? (Or is it black *without* current? Whichever..) If you are getting pulled over in person, flip the switch, "Huh, I didn't realize my plates were that dirty". (Hilarity then ensues when the officer sees the plates are quite legible.) I *would* have some, but here in the midwestern US, the 5-0 actually go out in person to pull people over -- if you're not paying enough attention too see a black Ford Crown Victoria (or Chevy Impala on newer ones) with police lights installed and stop speeding for a minute, probably a ticket is warranted. If we had speed cameras etc., I'd rig up this system in a second.

Thimblecon 87 Shirts: Which color?

The Thimblecon T-shirts are available in navy and yellow. What is the most beautiful color?

  • Yellow
  • Navy
  • They are both beautiful!

Both are definitely 80’s though! :smiley:

Hm… The yellow/gold version looks more like 70s to me…

Yellow for outdoor activities in sunny days.

Blue for the evening, drinking a beer with friends at the pub.

I’ll buy both. (but I would have preferred something more suitable for winter)

You convinced me to order both colors. :slight_smile: So it is now official: I’ve paid over 1 Million(*) Dollar for Thimbleweed Park and the merch stuff so far. @RonGilbert: What achievement do I get for reaching this goal?

Yes, please! And with the Thimblecon logo! Fangamer - do you hear us? :slight_smile:

I might postpone the purchase of the yellow one, though. For reasons that I don’t understand, I tend to wear more color-saturated shirts in the summer (like the awesome “The Greatest American Hero” red t-shirt I bought this year) and less color-saturated shirts in the winter.

I see myself wearing the blue t-shirt in the following months, but not so much the yellow one.

I’d love a hoodie. But first it needs to start getting cold in Seattle.

The Blue doesn’t come in XS. This bummed my son that already has the city limits shirt. I could get a bigger size, but the XS is already too big for him.

We’re getting there in London. There’s a slight breeze.

Man, it´s been almost 20 years, but when I was there we got all the weathers (within one week in late august).

Sounds about right. I currently have sunglasses and a massive umbrella in my bag.

That´s the London I remember, except that little ferris wheel you have now (missed it by about 2 years).

Aye, the Eye. It’s a bit slow and not really worth the money. Looks pretty though!

Sure we might have tried it, had it been there in 1998. Above that we stuck with the usual I guess. Wax Museum, Tower etc. Would I go there again today I´d probably stick my head out for stuff I´m interested in like Beatles-sights, Python-sights etc. and that ginormous comic book shop…Forbidden Planet I think…but enough off topic.

About Bedwetting & Daytime Accidents

Most people think that childhood bedwetting or daytime accidents will go away on its own. That their child will wake up one morning and like “magic”, it never happens again… But then 6 months later you’re still living with daily bed sheet cleaning or running to school with a fresh set of clothes.

One scenario we see all the time in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to their Doctor about their child’s bedwetting and daytime soiling and are not offered anything to help and told that “your child will outgrow it”. Then a year later you return to the doctor with the same complaints since things have not changed or have gotten worse instead.

What Can You Do To Get Rid of My Child's Bedwetting & Daytime Accidents?

  • First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that it will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse
  • Next, do the RIGHT exercises – sometimes children do not utilize their pelvic floor muscles appropriately. A Specialty Trained Pelvic Floor Doctor of Physical Therapy can teach your child about their bowel and bladder function and how the muscles are supposed to work to keep them continent.
  • Is Your Child Pooping Regularly – understanding your child’s bowel pattern is important in understanding the underlying cause of their bedwetting and daytime soiling. A Specialty Trained Pelvic Floor Doctor of Physical Therapy can review a poop chart with you and your child and provide guidelines and activities for good bowel bladder health.
  • Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is proven to help children with bedwetting and daytime accidents.

The Day After Calculus Ended

Exploring blogging applications.

Honestly, the best blogging utility would be a combination of Byword‘s simple UI, publishing, and exporting utilities and Ulysses III‘s database management and the numerous extra features (statistics, navigation, helpful .md hints, visual syntax, etc.).

It’s a real shame when I find this kind of thing out, just how much greater an app would be if they joined forces with another. I find this kind of ideal applies to all sorts of great products. It’s not a new concept, but today I’ve seemed to realize it’s implications.

What bothers me even more is that this kind of idea doesn’t apply to just the primitive aspect of app development but governments, nonprofit organizations, etc.

I used to volunteer a lot for Operation Smile (from 2009 to 2013), a nonprofit organization that provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe. In early 2011, I heard they were going to merge with Smile Train, the world’s largest charity that provides corrective surgery for children with cleft lips and palates. Unfortunately, they never did succeed in their merger and when I asked an employee at OP Smile about it, they explained that their organizational structures were too different. You can hear more about the attempted merger here.

Rim Shots

Please sign up for the course before starting the lesson.

A rimshot is a percussion technique used to produce an accented snare drum backbeat. The sound is produced by simultaneously hitting the rim and head of a drum with a drum stick: "the sound is part normal snare and part loud, woody accent, "generally sharper, brighter and more cutting, as this produces large amounts of overtones. The stroke is used on the snare in rock, pop, and blues and on the tom-toms in Afro-Cuban music and reggae.

The Hillary Papers

Archive of 'closest friend' paints portrait of ruthless First Lady

On May 12, 1992, Stan Greenberg and Celinda Lake, top pollsters for Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, issued a confidential memo. The memo’s subject was "Research on Hillary Clinton."

Voters admired the strength of the Arkansas first couple, the pollsters wrote. However, "they also fear that only someone too politically ambitious, too strong, and too ruthless could survive such controversy so well."

Their conclusion: "What voters find slick in Bill Clinton, they find ruthless in Hillary."

The full memo is one of many previously unpublished documents contained in the archive of one of Hillary Clinton’s best friends and advisers, documents that portray the former first lady, secretary of State, and potential 2016 presidential candidate as a strong, ambitious and ruthless Democratic operative.

The papers of Diane Blair, a political science professor Hillary Clinton described as her "closest friend" before Blair’s death in 2000, record years of candid conversations with the Clintons on issues ranging from single-payer health care to Monica Lewinsky.

The archive includes correspondence, diaries, interviews, strategy memos and contemporaneous accounts of conversations with the Clintons ranging from the mid-1970s to the turn of the millennium.

Diane Blair’s husband, Jim Blair, a former chief counsel at Tyson Foods Inc. who was at the center of "Cattlegate," a 1994 controversy involving the unusually large returns Hillary Clinton made while trading cattle futures contracts in the 1970s, donated his wife’s papers to the University of Arkansas Special Collections library in Fayetteville after her death.

The full contents of the archive, which before 2010 was closed to the public, have not previously been reported on and shed new light on Clinton’s three decades in public life. The records paint a complex portrait of Hillary Clinton, revealing her to be a loyal friend, devoted mother, and a cutthroat strategist who relished revenge against her adversaries and complained in private that nobody in the White House was "tough and mean enough."

On July 28, 1997, President Clinton was facing yet another wave of allegations from yet another woman. Kathleen Willey had accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her, and Blair faxed a Drudge Report item about her claims to one of the president’s aides.

Blair’s handwritten note attached to the story: "Do we take Matt Drudge seriously?"

Six months later, Drudge would break the story of an affair between Clinton and 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky, setting in motion the events that would lead to the president’s impeachment.

Hillary Rodham Clinton

When Clinton finally admitted to the relationship after repeated denials, Hillary  Clinton defended her husband in a phone call with Blair. She said her husband had made a mistake by fooling around with the "narcissistic loony toon" Lewinsky, but was driven to it in part by his political adversaries, the loneliness of the presidency, and her own failures as a wife.

She told Blair that the affair did not include sex "within any real meaning" of the term and noted President Clinton "tried to manage" Monica after they broke up but things spiraled "beyond control."

Blair described the contents of the Sept. 9, 1998, phone call in a journal entry.

"[Hillary] is not trying to excuse [Bill Clinton]; it was a huge personal lapse. And she is not taking responsibility for it," Blair wrote.

"But, she does say this to put his actions in context. Ever since he took office they’ve been going thru personal tragedy ([the death of] Vince [Foster], her dad, his mom) and immediately all the ugly forces started making up hateful things about them, pounding on them."

"They adopted strategy, public strategy, of acting as tho it didn’t bother them; had to. [Hillary] didn’t realize toll it was taking on him," Blair continued. "She thinks she was not smart enough, not sensitive enough, not free enough of her own concerns and struggles to realize the price he was paying."

Hillary Clinton told Blair she had received "a letter from a psychologist who does family therapy and sexual infidelity problems," who told the Yale Law School graduate, "most men with fidelity problems [were] raised by two women and felt conflicted between them."

The psychologist suggested that Bill’s infidelity had its roots in his childhood.

"He’d read about Bill’s bio; grandmother despised [Bill’s mother] Virginia, tried to get custody of Bill; Bill adored by his mother, but she left him, etc. etc."

In her conversations with Blair, the first lady gave her husband credit for trying to end the affair with Lewinsky, and said he did not take advantage of his White House intern.

"It was a lapse, but she says to his credit he tried to break it off, tried to pull away, tried to manage someone who was clearly a ‘narcissistic loony toon’; but it was beyond control," wrote Blair.

"HRC insists, no matter what people say, it was gross inappropriate behavior but it was consensual (was not a power relationship) and was not sex within any real meaning (standup, liedown, oral, etc.) of the term."

Hillary Clinton’s blunt assessments were not confined to Monica Lewinsky. In a Dec. 3, 1993, diary entry, Blair recounted a conversation with the first lady about "Packwood"—a reference to then-Sen. Bob Packwood, an influential Republican on health care embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal.

"HC tired of all those whiney women, and she needs him on health care," wrote Blair. "I told her I’d been bonding w. creeps; she said that was the story of her whole past year. Fabio incident—sweeping her up, sending her roses."

Privately, the Clinton White House was acutely sensitive to public perceptions of President Clinton’s treatment of women.

Supreme Court nominations were not immune from such considerations. In a three-page May 11, 1994, memo, Blair recounted her phone conversation with President Clinton about reservations he had about his preferred nominee to the high Court, the late Arkansas Judge Richard Arnold.

Noting Clinton allies had "really been trying to keep the women’s groups in line since Paula Jones filing," Bill Clinton, according to Blair’s account, was concerned feminist groups "might blow sky high" if he appointed Arnold to the Supreme Court. Arnold had ruled that the Jaycees club could bar women from full membership—a decision later overturned by the highest court in the land.

The president was also concerned about accusations of infidelity in Arnold’s divorce records—allegations the president believed had the potential to reignite scrutiny of his own background.

"Stuff is in the [divorce] record—apparently includes other people—and no matter what Hatch says, this will come out, and will make it sound like the only friends [Bill] has in Arkansas are adulterers," wrote Blair.

"This thing is so sick, according to [Bill], in a way he wants to stand up to it, but will come out and will be part of the pattern of sleaze."

The president asked Blair to discuss the Arnold nomination with Hillary Clinton, who was dismissive of "grassroots" women’s groups.

"[Bill] wanted me to talk to [Hillary], so we got plugged in (at one point had 2 White House operators trying to get me)," wrote Blair.

"[Hillary] listened to what I had to say re women; thought those grassroots groups didn’t count for much; it was the DC groups who would be doing damage, and obviously [Hillary] concerned about [the] ‘climate’ because of the sexual harassment charge."

The Clinton camp found itself dealing with Bill Clinton’s infidelity early on. In a confidential Feb. 16, 1992, memo entitled "Possible Investigation Needs," Clinton campaign staff proposed ways to suppress and discredit stories about the then-Arkansas governor’s affairs.

Campaign operatives Loretta Lynch and Nancy McFadden wrote the memo, addressed to campaign manager David Wilhelm.

The first item on the itinerary discussed "GF," a reference to Gennifer Flowers, the actress and adult model who had recently disclosed her 12-year affair with Bill Clinton.

"Exposing GF: completely as a fraud, liar and possible criminal to stop this story and related stories, prevent future non-related stories and expose press inaction and manipulation," said the memo.

In 1998 Bill Clinton admitted he had had a sexual relationship with Flowers.

Another item, headlined "Women," referred to Elizabeth Ward and Lencola Sullivan, also rumored to have had relationships with Bill.

"Elizabeth Ward … determine attitude & check out background; Any Reep connections? When does Playboy come out?"

One of the documents in the Blair archive is an unsigned note from Bill Clinton, handwritten on the personal letterhead he used in the mid-1970s. The addressee is unknown. A cover page reads: "Tomorrow is Thursday."

The undated letter is written on the same personal letterhead that Clinton was using in 1976, prior to becoming attorney general of Arkansas. Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton began dating in 1971 and were married on Oct. 11, 1975.

"Yesterday the recurring shakes came over me again and to rid myself of them I decided to go and buy something for you as much to be doing it as to actually wind up with things," Clinton wrote.

He said he recently had bought books, including One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Bread and Wine by Italian anti-Communist Ignazio Silone.

"By the time I could call last night it was too late and I was too spent," the future founding chairman of the Clinton Global Initiative went on.

"Today is Thursday. I will be at the little place downstairs in the union at 11:30. If you aren’t there, I’ll understand. And if you are, I will."

The fast-food lover and amateur sax player closed by confessing that he had fallen asleep the night before while reading an erotic love poem from the seventeenth century.

"At 3:30 this morning I fell asleep over Andrew Marvell’s To His Coy Mistress," wrote Clinton. "It has been a while since I could feel something so sharply across three hundred years."

Attached to the letter is a photo of a young Bill Clinton holding a saxophone, with the note, "I thought you might get a kick out of this—I was once even younger."

Days after President Clinton’s impeachment in 1998, the first lady called Blair in good spirits, telling her friend that, "Most people in this town have no pain threshold."

"[Hillary] sounded very up, almost jolly," wrote Blair. "Told me how she and Bill and Chelsea had been to church, to a Chinese restaurant, to a Shakespeare play, greeted everywhere with wild applause and cheers—this, she said is what drives their adversaries totally nuts, that they don’t bend, do not appear to be suffering."

Hillary Clinton’s "adversaries" included the media, Republicans, and top members of President Clinton’s staff, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis of the contents of the Blair archive.

"HC says press has big egos and no brains," wrote Blair on May 19, 1993, during the White House travel office controversy. "That [the White House is] just going to have to work them better; that her staff has figured it out and would be glad to teach [Bill’s] staff."

The First Lady often confided in Blair about her "hellacious" first year in the White House, and her many clashes with staffers, administration figures, and her husband. By the spring of 1994, Hillary was "furious" at Bill for "ruining himself and the Presidency."

"She keeps trying to shape things up, knows what’s wrong, but [Bill] can’t fire people, exert discipline, punish leakers," Blair wrote on May 17, 1994. "Never had strategy for Whitewater, troopers, Paula [Jones]. … Inability to organize, make tough choices, drives her nuts."

Blair, a frequent guest at the White House, recounted two nights in mid-March 1993 when President Clinton spoke on the "theme of being spied on, taped, watched, imprisoned."

"[Bill] told me last 2, 3 months hideously stressful, and has really never had a break since campaign," Blair wrote. "Said when he named [Warren] Christopher to [State Department], screwed up the transition."

The insularity of the Clinton White House was not lost on administration officials.

"Chat w. [Attorney General] Janet Reno," Blair wrote on April 24, 1993. "She concerned that [Hillary Clinton is] resenting her ‘celebrity’ status."

"Janet wants to connect w. HC; not communicate thru Carol Rasco," Blair added. "Finds HC a ‘mask.’"

On Feb. 23, 1993, Blair joined the Clintons for a family dinner at the White House. The subject of health care reform came up.

"At dinner, [Hillary] to [Bill] at length on the complexities of health care—thinks managed competition a crock; single-payer necessary; maybe add to Medicare," Blair wrote.

The account is at odds with public statements by the former First Lady that she never supported the single-payer option.

In an interview with the New York Times as she ran for president in 2008, Hillary Clinton said she had never seriously considered adopting a single-payer system, in which the government, using funds appropriated from taxpayers, pays for all health care expenses.

"You know, I have thought about this, as you might guess, for 15 years and I never seriously considered a single payer system," said Clinton in the interview.

At the time of Blair’s account, the First Lady recently had been appointed to the president’s health care task force and had started her push for an insurance reform that hinged on the "managed competition" model.

However, at the February 1993 dinner, the First Lady already seemed to regret her decision to take on health care reform.

"[Bill’s] tenderly hugging and thanking [Hillary] for sucking up to all thos ego’s nd taking all this shit [sic]," wrote Blair. "She’s signaling him what a mess health care is, bu also, sweetly, ‘Don’t worry’ [sic]."

By the spring, the First Lady seemed deeply anxious about the effort.

"[Hillary] adamant; [Bill] must devise new outside strategy; we’re getting killed. Congress a bunch of whiners; no courage. Her health care plan will save billions in long run but will cost big $ up front. [Members of Congress] don’t work; only 3 days a week; only care for re-election," wrote Blair. "[Bill] clearly not very happy w. his own crew and advisors. [Hillary] urging hard ball."

As the First Lady prepared to testify before Congress in September 1993, Blair wrote that "she’s begun to see that they don’t really care about the issues but want to feel they’re part of the process. So she’s slobbering over their ‘craft’ as she testifies."

Hillary Clinton’s testimony is seen in retrospect as the high point of her failed health care campaign.

"The week may have been the pinnacle of her career as First Lady," wrote Carl Bernstein in his 2008 book Woman in Charge. "Hillary was making history, and there were comparisons on the floor of Congress to Martha Washington, Eleanor Roosevelt, and in one particularly tortured leap of logic, Abraham Lincoln."

On April 21, 1993, during a speech at the opening reception for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., President Clinton drew parallels between the genocide in Bosnia and the Holocaust.

That same month, he met with top U.S. military officials, diplomats, and aid workers advocating for military action against the Serbian forces of Slobodan Milosevic.

At the time, however, Hillary Clinton was not on board with the use of deadly force. According to Blair’s April 29, 1993 account, the First Lady said she "was very much against any intervention—had been killing each other for 900 yrs."

Blair later spoke with President Clinton in mid-May and gave him "messages a la [Hillary’s] instructions: stop ruminating aloud re Bosnia."

The White House was under increasing pressure to address the atrocities in the Balkans. Yet the United States waited more than two years before taking military action.

Blair’s papers are not the first indication that Hillary privately opposed U.S. intervention in Bosnia prior to 1995.

An unnamed friend of the Clintons told Newsweek in 1993 that the First Lady "regards [Bosnia] as a Vietnam that would compromise health-care reform."

The author and controversialist Christopher Hitchens later reported a similar account from then-Secretary of Defense Les Aspin.

Since leaving the White House, however, Hillary Clinton has said that she favored earlier intervention in the Balkans, decrying "the tragic failures in Rwanda, early Bosnia, and up to now, the inadequate response in Darfur" in a 2005 speech to the United Nations.

Hillary Clinton’s influence on White House decisions went beyond policy, according to the Blair papers.

A three-page memo written by Blair on May 11, 1994, shows the First Lady privately urging President Clinton to reject his preferred 1994 candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court because of political considerations.

While Bill Clinton favored the late Arkansas Judge Richard Arnold, he and his wife had concerns about the judge’s health.

Hillary Clinton also argued that rejecting Arnold would send a "message" to the judge’s ally, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette publisher Walter Hussman, Jr., whose paper often printed unflattering stories about the Clintons.Hillary Rodham Clinton

"Goddamn Hussman needs to know that it’s his own goddamn fault; that he can’t destroy everybody from Ark. and everything about the state and not pay the price for his precious Richard [Arnold]," Hillary said, according to Blair’s account.

"He needs to get the message big-time, that Richard might have a chance [to be appointed to the Supreme Court] next round if Hussman and his minions will lay off all this outrageous lies and innuendo."

The details in Blair’s memo challenge the contemporary understanding of Hillary Clinton’s role in the debate over the 1994 appointment. The First Lady has been credited as one of the few members of the president’s inner circle who lobbied in favor of Arnold’s nomination.

However, that seems not to be the case.

President Clinton has said he did not appoint Arnold for health reasons. The judge had been diagnosed with advanced lymphoma, and according to the Blair memo his doctors could not guarantee he would live more than five years.

He died in 2004.

The health concerns were related to President Clinton’s fear that Arnold could be his last Supreme Court appointment.

"At this point BC not sure he can get re-elected; they’re killing him in the South, rise of fundamentalism, the Nazi’s. Some of that he did to himself—gay rights in the military. Others just hate the one who’s in," Blair wrote in an account of one of her conversations with the president.

According to the memo, Bill Clinton dispatched Blair to discuss the issue with Hillary, but the First Lady stood her ground.

"If HRC carried the day, and it sounds as if she is, [the nominee] will be [Bruce] Babbitt," wrote Blair. "She’s not wild about him. Wishes there were a 3rd choice."

President Clinton ended up appointing Stephen Breyer, who became an associate justice of the Supreme Court in August 1994.

As Hillary Clinton prepares for a possible 2016 presidential run, the Clinton team has a great incentive to focus on the future.

However, recent weeks have made it clear this will not be easy.

Sen. Rand Paul’s remark about Bill Clinton’s "predatory behavior" on a recent Sunday talk show generated a days-long media firestorm and reignited the decades-old Lewinsky controversy.

While Hillary Clinton has gone from the White House to the Senate to the State Department, experts say she will likely be forced to readdress some of the controversies that defined her husband’s presidency if she decides on a 2016 bid.

Neither a Clinton spokesman nor a spokesman for the Clinton Foundation returned a request for comment from the Free Beacon on the materials contained in the Blair archive.

As the 2016 contest draws near, however, the contents of this little-known archive of one of the closest friends of the most famous woman in the world are sure to receive fresh scrutiny.

While thousands of Diane Blair’s papers are available to the public at the University of Arkansas Library, an undisclosed number of documents remain kept in a restricted section of the archive. The Free Beacon was unable to gain access to those documents.

"With this collection, [Diane Blair’s] contributions will grow and live on, enlarging our understanding of history, politics and culture," Hillary Clinton said in a video address at the opening of Blair’s archive in 2010.

"I hope also that some young scholar will come along and write the story of Diane," she added. "We miss her still but this, along with so many of her contributions to us, lives on."

Seven Occupy Columbus members were arrested at a US Bank branch in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday, November 15. Two of the seven report that they were arrested without warning after entering the bank as part of a "tour." A Facebook message from Occupy Columbus stated the tour was for "protesting the banker's unapologetic role in our economic downturn." A video obtained by the Columbus Free Press shows that the police were almost immediately on the scene. Earlier the demonstrators had visited a Fifth Third bank branch and left when they were asked to by bank security.

All seven demonstrators were charged with fourth degree misdemeanor trespassing charges and are to be arraigned tomorrow, Nov. 16. The Occupation legal team reports that they intend to plead not guilty to the charges.

Questions are being raised in the Occupy movement as to whether there is a coordinated national assault on them now that the election is over with recent attacks on Occupy sites in Oakland, New York and other cities.

Reverend Jesse Jackson paid a visit to Occupy Cincinnati Tuesday night, Nov. 15 to show his solidarity with the movement. Jackson told the 125 occupiers that "You are our nation's conscience." Jackson pointed out to the occupiers that Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his last day spent his last days standing for a poor people's movement.

The day before, Jackson stood with Occupy Philadelphia activists. In the last week, Jackson has visited Occupy DC, Atlanta and LA and has called upon others to join the movement.

    I'd like to thank Laurent for accepting me and to intorduce myself to this group. My name is Ken Glackin and I have been keeping fish nearly all of my life. I bred and raised many livebearers in my early years then around 1980 I started breeding egglayers, annobantoides to be exact. I have since bred and raised numerous varieties of cichlids, rainbowfish, gobies/gudgeons, Seahorses, etc. I have most recently been working with North American Darters (Etheostoma sp. and Percina Sp.)
    Not quite a month ago I was given a group of Mogurnda Cingulata and a trio of Tateurndina ocellicauda from a person who was moving back from the states to Austrailia. Since then I have been fortunate enough to breed the M. Cingulata and am in the process of raising @ 60 fry.
    At present my fishroom uses a central filtration system. The filter, an algae scrubber that I built employs a dump bucket and has a surface area for algae growth of 122 cm X 46 cm. My pump moves 22712.47 lph. (I hope that is the correct conversion for 6000 gph)
    In 1986 I received my Master Breeders award from The Federation of American Aquarium Societies, and was president of The Eastern Iowa Aquarium Society for two years, a representative of Marine Aquarium Societies (M.A.A.S.)1995-97 and am presntly a member of North American Native Fish Association (NANFA).
    My other interests that have expanded from fishkeeping are raising live foods and aquatic plants, conservation and environmental issues around the globe.
    I hope to get the opportunity to share information with each of you at some point in the near future.

    Here now 5 years that I am sharing my passion on many forums aquaristic in the world.

    And I noticed one thing that we all a defect, this is the lack of communication.

    That's why I created this forum to advance the care gobies because our fish suffer and will disappear in their habitat if we do nothing.

    you are a responsible aquarist mostly because you love animals.

Afterschool Programs at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel

Since 2011, Friendship Train Foundation has partnered with Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School (OLMC) in Asbury Park, New Jersey, to provide students with afterschool learning and enrichment opportunities. Our mission is to help children discover their talents and interests, building their self-esteem as they strive to achieve their dreams.

The afterschool programs at OLMC expand students’ horizons through high-quality content in a safe, caring environment. More than 150 students in first through eighth grade participate under the guidance of dedicated staff and partners from the community. Students benefit from:

  • Healthy snacks
  • Academic assistance and tutoring
  • Hands-on enrichment activities focused around a STEAM theme (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math)
  • Programming in the areas of literacy, physical education, character education, and parental involvement
  • Field trips
  • Summer programs

OLMC’s programs are funded through a variety of grants, from FTF and other private foundations. In 2014, the program was one of three featured by the United States Department of Education for excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programming.

FTF believes that other schools could benefit from the engaging enrichment programs being enjoyed by the students at OLMC and is working with others to explore those possibilities.

LAN & WAN How To

One of the features I've seen in newer small network routers is the inclusion of a packet sniffer/capture/trace tool within the diagnostic menus of the device. Routers I've recently tested with this functionality include the SonicWall TZ190W, D-Link DFLCPG310, and Netgear's newly released FVX538 and FVS336G.

In each case, these devices have the ability to capture packets on a specific WAN port and/or on the LAN interface. Some of these routers have more sophisticated filtering capabilities than the other, but they all seem to have the same basic functionality of capturing packets.

For example, on the Netgear FVS336G, capturing data traversing the router is done by simply clicking on the Capture Packets button withing the Diagnostic menu, and then selecting which interface is to be monitored (Figure 1).

Packet capture on the Netgear FVS336G
Click to enlarge image

Figure 1: Packet capture on the Netgear FVS336G

Once an interface is selected, the router-based tool is simply started and stopped for traffic collection, and then the file of collected data can be downloaded to a PC for analysis. The analysis of the data is then done by using packet capture software, such as the well known Wireshark, formerly Ethereal.

This powerful software continues to evolve over time with greater capabilities and features, yet it remains free for download and general use. Impressively, there are versions of Wireshark for Windows, including Vista, as well as Linux, Apple's OSX, and Unix. There are alternative packet capture software tools, such as Microsoft's Network Monitor Tool, as well as the Unix/Linux based Ettercap, yet Wireshark seems to be one of the most commonly used.

The goal of this series is to provide some direction on how to use Wireshark to do some pretty interesting network analysis and troubleshooting on a network, which is something any network administrator can use to better manage his or her network.

The first step is to download and install the software. You'll want to make sure you install WinPcap along with Wireshark. Note that Wireshark can also perform packet captures directly using your PC's wired or wireless interfaces, using WinPcap.

Once you've got the software installed, verify that it can detect your interfaces. Clicking on Capture - Interfaces will give you a display of detected interfaces and their IP addresses, such as shown in Figure 2.

Wireshark Interfaces
Click to enlarge image

Figure 2: Wireshark Interfaces

You want to make sure your interfaces are detected, otherwise you won't be able to use the full power of the software. I've had trouble getting WinPcap running on some PCs, which I've usually resolved through a little software un-installation and re-installation, so get this out of the way first.

With Wireshark successfully installed on your PC, try doing a simple capture of some basic web traffic to get familiar with the tool. Simply click Capture and then Start with your PC connected to the Internet, and fire up a browser to an Internet web page. You'll see a whole bunch of messages scrolling up and down the screen, filling in data in the No., Time, Source, Destination, Protocol, and Info columns. Click Capture and Stop to end this sample packet capture.

Now that you have some collected data, you can use the power of the tool to read and understand what type of traffic we've captured. To look at only the Web generated traffic from our packet capture, click on Analyze and Display Filters from the top menu bar. This will show a list of pre-made filters that can be used to show common traffic types. For example, clicking on HTTP from the list of Filters will narrow down the captured output to the packets sent and received between my PC and the web pages I opened while the capture was running (Figure 3).

Applying the HTTP filter
Click to enlarge image

Figure 3: Applying the HTTP filter

I now have numerous lines of output, which I can further examine and see my source and destination IP addresses, port information, and various other details regarding the data flows I have just generated.

This initial data may not be all that interesting to look at, but this example just scratches the surface.
