Lipitor® and Diabetes

Lipitor® was the fifth member of a class of medications known as “statins” that was introduced to the pharmaceutical market in 1997. Lipitor® has been approved by the FDA to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet to lower low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol and blood lipid levels known as triglycerides, with the aim of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. For many years, Lipitor® has been one of the most widely prescribed drugs in America. However, recent studies have shown that women taking Lipitor® may have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that causes blood sugar levels to rise without compensation from proper insulin use by the body, otherwise known as “insulin resistance.” The symptoms of Type 2 diabetes include, but are not limited to: increased thirst; increased urination; increased hunger; blurred vision; fatigue; and/or slow healing sores or frequent infections. If left untreated or unmanaged, women with Type 2 diabetes can have very serious complications including:

  • Nerve damage;
  • Kidney failure;
  • Eye damage and vision loss;
  • Increased risk of stroke and/or heart attack;
  • Increased risk of amputation of toes, feet or legs.

If you have concerns that you may have Type 2 diabetes or have already been diagnosed with diabetes and are still taking Lipitor®, please consult with your physician. You should never stop taking any prescription medication without first consulting your physician.

FDA Action

In early 2012, the FDA approved a drug safety update to the label of Lipitor®, and most other statins, informing patients of increased blood sugar levels associated with the drug. This label change was based on clinical studies and adverse events reported in the published medical literature1.

The FDA has also asked for patients who have developed side effects from Lipitor®, including Type 2 diabetes, to report that to the FDA via their website2.

Summary: A new deal allowing for transfers of personal data from the EU to America has now been reached. It will be known as Privacy Shield. This fills the gap left by the defunct Safe Harbor scheme, replacing it with a strengthened mechanism. We set out the background to this development and what it means for organisations on both sides of the Atlantic.

For two and a half years, the EU and US have been negotiating new arrangements to permit the transfer of data from the EU to America. This process was given added impetus by the invalidation of the Safe Harbor arrangements by the Court of Justice of the EU on 6 October 2015 in the Schrems ruling (Case C-362/14).

The final form of Privacy Shield was adopted by the EU Commission on 12 July 2016. In doing so, the EU Commission has issued an Adequacy Decision confirming that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to US organisations who have signed up to Privacy Shield. The arrangements also seek to address concerns about the US Government’s Intelligence gathering activities. The Adequacy Decision takes effect in the EU immediately.

In its press release accompanying the Adequacy Decision the EU Commission describes Privacy Shield as “robust”. This is no doubt with one eye on some critical comments from EU data protection regulators (the Article 29 Working Party), the European Data Protection Supervisor and the EU Parliament of the earlier draft version of the arrangements. The EU Commission says that it has listened to those criticisms and re-negotiated elements of Privacy Shield to address them.

Privacy Shield applies to organisations which are data controllers or data processors. It is a scheme under which US organisations self-certify compliance with some of the EU data protection principles and subject themselves to oversight, principally by US regulators. Once certified, EU organisations can transfer personal data to that organisation without being in breach of the restrictions against transfers of personal data outside the EU. Privacy Shield will also apply to EEA transferring countries (Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein) once an additional step is taken by the EEA Joint Committee to adopt it.

Privacy Shield will sit alongside other existing mechanisms which validate transfers of personal data from Europe to America, such as EU Model Clauses. It therefore potentially offers more choice to organisations on both sides of the Atlantic, but US organisations will have to think very carefully before signing up to the new arrangements because they are very onerous and likely to be tested.

Key provisions

The key provisions of Privacy Shield consist of:

  • More onerous commitments on US organisations who sign up to Privacy Shield. These include:
    • Prescribed information to be contained in privacy policies and complied with;
    • a modified form of subject access request for individuals;
    • commitments on the length of time data will be held;
    • commitments on data security; and
    • restrictions on onward transfers of data from Privacy Shield signatories to third parties, like sub-processors.
  • In addition, there is a right for individuals to take complaints directly to the US organisations who then have to respond substantively within 45 days, with subsequent redress mechanisms all the way up to an Arbitration process.
  • Redress for EU individuals concerned about the processing of their data for Intelligence purposes through an Ombudsperson Scheme set up within the US Department of State, but independent from the US intelligence services. The first Ombudsperson is Under Secretary of State, Catherine Novelli. The US has also ruled out indiscriminate mass surveillance of transferred data.
  • Commitments from the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to effectively monitor and enforce the obligations entered into by US organisations signing up to Privacy Shield. The DOC has committed to conduct regular reviews of companies participating in the scheme.
  • An Annual Review mechanism between the EU and US to ensure that Privacy Shield is working effectively. If the EU believes it is not then it has the power to suspend or repeal Privacy Shield.

What to do next

From the point of view of EU/EEA based organisations, they should wait to see the extent to which counter-parties in America adopt Privacy Shield. If they do so then EU/EEA organisations transferring personal data to those US organisations will not be in breach of EU/EEA Data Protection law.

From the American perspective, organisations can sign up to Privacy Shield from 1 August 2016. The DOC has issued Guidance on how to do this (read the DOC Guidance).

As the Guidance makes clear, only US organisations that are subject to the jurisdiction of the FTC or the US Department of Transportation (DOT) may participate in the Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield Team at the DOC can provide further information if an organisation is unsure about whether it falls within this jurisdictional gateway. However, for example, large parts of the financial services sector will not be covered by the scheme as they are not regulated by either body.

Before self-certifying, the US organisation must ensure its privacy policy adheres to the Privacy Principles contained in Annex II to the Adequacy Decision. It must also select an independent recourse mechanism to resolve any complaints received from individuals about the treatment of their data transferred from the EU which remain unresolved. If it selects a US based mechanism then suggested organisations to assist with this include the Council of Better Business Bureaus, TRUSTe, the American Arbitration Association, JAMS and the Direct Marketing Association. Be aware that there are supplemental requirements where self-certification covers employee data. In addition, before self-certifying, the organisation must appoint a lead person to be responsible for dealing with questions, complaints, access requests, and any other issues arising under the Privacy Shield. The DOC suggests that this be someone like a Chief Privacy Officer. Self-certification must be renewed annually by the organisation.

Will the Privacy Shield be effective?

Whether the Privacy Shield arrangements will prove effective and long-lasting depends on a number of factors:

  • US organisations will have to carefully consider whether to sign up. The commitments placed on US organisations are onerous and are likely to involve, for example, re-negotiation of contracts with sub-processors used by them (a “grace period” of up to nine months to do this is provided for in the Privacy Shield arrangements provided the US organisation signs up to Privacy Shield by 1 October 2016). US organisations who sign up are almost certain to come under close scrutiny for the reasons explained below and it is likely that this will involve a considerable commitment of resources. Some might decide to sit this out and continue to rely on other transfer mechanisms (such as EU Model Clauses) until Privacy Shield is seen to work or until the current challenge from the Irish Data Protection Regulator to the validity of EU Model Clauses is determined. This could all take some time;
  • We expect challenges to be made against US organisations who sign up. These will be likely to not only test compliance by those organisations but also the effectiveness of redress mechanisms operated by them and the US bodies tasked with oversight and enforcement;
  • Similarly, we expect challenges to US National Intelligence gathering through the Ombudsperson scheme to test its effectiveness and its independence;
  • We also expect a further challenge in the EU to the structure of the arrangements, which could find its way to the Court of Justice of the EU over the course of the next year or so. That challenge is likely to involve a more critical look at US Intelligence gathering, rather than an implicit acceptance that mass surveillance takes place - in the materials accompanying the Adequacy Decision there is an emphasis on the US Intelligence community wishing to set the record straight on what it actually does by way of Intelligence gathering and the oversight over those activities. This topic also looks set to be debated in the Irish challenge to Model Clauses, given the US Government’s intervention in that case. We expect as well that there is also likely to be more emphasis on the question of whether equivalent Intelligence gathering takes place in the EU and the oversight provided in that respect.
  • The first EU/US Annual Review will also be critical. There is likely to be a great deal of pressure on the US authorities and the EU Commission to show that Privacy Shield is effective. The EU Commission says that the Privacy Shield is a robust framework or system. Whether that is the case is likely to be down to effective enforcement of its terms. Ultimately, the EU/US Annual Review mechanism is designed to ensure that. What will feed into this is whether the various mechanism for redress and complaint work satisfactorily on a day-to-day basis. However, this will depend on the approach taken by organisations signing up to the Privacy Shield and US agencies with the main oversight and enforcement functions (principally the DOC and FTC, along with the Ombudsperson Scheme set up to deal with National Intelligence gathering activities).

Health Protocols

High Blood Pressure

Life Extension has long suggested that the lower blood pressure achieved by calorie restriction adherents is a critical component of the health and longevity benefits they enjoy. A growing body of evidence supports the benefit of blood pressure lower than 120/80 mm Hg for certain populations.1-3 The results from the SPRINT trial,5 published in 2015, lend additional support to a target systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg as opposed to a more conservative target of less than 140 mm Hg. For decades, Life Extension has advocated a blood pressure goal of 115/75 mm Hg.

The foundation for Life Extension’s approach is the evidence-based diet, lifestyle, and integrative intervention program outlined in this protocol; this aspect of the program should be continued indefinitely for those who want to maximize their health and longevity through optimal blood pressure control. For those who aren’t able to reach a target blood pressure of less than 120/80 mm Hg using these natural measures alone, Life Extension has presented a drug treatment protocol that represents an integration of the most current scientific knowledge, maximizing therapeutic benefit and minimizing the risk of adverse effects.

By working closely with your clinician, regularly monitoring your blood pressure and health status, and taking advantage of the cutting edge information presented here, you can marshal the longevity benefits of optimal blood pressure.

Low speeds

Discussion in 'Tomato Firmware' started by jayp, Jun 4, 2011.

  1. jayp

    jayp Networkin' Nut Member

    I've had my Linksys WRT54G with tomato firmware for more than 5 years now. Its been working perfectly fine in every way till now.

    For the last 3 days, out of nowhere, the speeds start dropping below 1Mbps. I have 15/5 Mbps on comcast. The speeds directly from the modem come out 15/5, but when I connect through the router wifi its slow again.

    Here's where it gets weird:

    A wired connection from the router to my laptop gives me 15/5, but a wired connection from the router to (powerline to) VOIP device is crappy to the point that it becomes unusable.

    I removed both antenna from the Linksys and the wifi speed is boosted nearby but becomes nonexistent upstairs (obviously). But for some reason it also makes the VOIP device work normal again, even though that has nothing to do with the wireless.

    When screwing the antenna back on, within the first minute or so the speed will be 15/5, but then drop down again to 2/2, 1/1, etc.

    I've tried increasing/decreasing antenna power, and that didnt work. Tried just using one antenna, that didnt work.

    The only guess I have is, I saw a new wifi network with a strong signal nearby, and that may be interfering, but I dont even know if it started the same time my router went down.

    I'm about to upgrade to the new tomato firmware, but I wanted some ideas/suggestions other than reinstall everything.

rndc connect failed

I realize this is a recurring problem and I want a final resolution to it. I have looked through several similar postings but they haven't completely resolved this issue. I have had this problem for a year. A very similar posting is located at: > Forums > Linux - Networking > bind problem
Thread Starter is gubak.

I am using named and rndc. I do not have problems starting up named (/etc/init.d/named start) but my problem occurs when I try to shut it down gracefully using the opposite command (/etc/init.d/named stop). After typing the command, the following output show:

Stopping named:

Although it appears to have stopped when I check my /var/log/messages the following output shows after trying to stop named:

app.c:561: unexpected error:
isc_app_shutdown() pthread_kill: No such process

I confirmed that its not running by checking my running processes. Named is still there.

The other major problem is when I use named and rndc commands, I often get the following message:

rndc: connect failed: connection refused

I have not been able, for the life of me, figure out whats wrong. I believe its something with the named script in the /etc/init.d/ folder.
I would really appreciate it if someone could dedicate some attention to my problem. It is of high priority because this is a work related problem.

Hardware accelerated shadows

I have been using the official NVIDIA drivers and the Composite extension in Slackware -current for about a year now. I have been using XFCE, which has a built-in (but rather limited) composite manager, and that has worked good for transparency on my windows, and some shadows.

But using the new XFCE in Slackware --current, the built-in composite manager started giving me problems. I decided to take this opportunity, and move on to using xcompmgr, which has some more features.

Well, everything was working well, until I noticed some lag when I had many windows open. Taking a look at top, I saw X was using 70%+ CPU! Trying some things, I found that when I disabled the shadows, the CPU usage dropped to normal levels. Transparency had no effect on the CPU, however.

So it seems to me that transparency is using the hardware acceleration properly, but shadows are using software rendering.

Is there a way to get shadows to be done in hardware, or have I just missed something along the lines?

I read this today. It might relate to your question. I don't know. Read the part about the 8 Spot test. If nothing else it shows that there are weird issues with graphic rendering that are not widely known.

Well, thanks for the input, but I am not sure how that applies to me, actually.

Nobody here is running Composite?

RH9-WinXP printing multiple pages problem

SO, after long searching in forums i finally must ask for help.

I have setup small Redhat Linux 9 network, with samba instaled. 10 PCs are running RH9 and one is WindowsXP for compatibility with old files. My problem is printing. Two weeks I was wondering how to print over network /first I hooked printer to RH9 PC and shared it - no luck, all seemed OK, printer showed up in gnome-print monitor but documents just stand in line on networked PCs and never finally printed anything/.
Then I decided I will install printer on WinXP machine. After Win installation I setup HP 6MP also on RH9 PCs, manually choosed location to Win-shared printer and it just works.

Main problem is: when users open their MS office documents in Openoofice 1.0.2 /supplied on RH9 install CD/ and want to print whole document, this printing job is going crazy. Sometimes it prints whole document /for example 5 pages/ and sometimes it prints only one page. Even if I manually choose PAGES: 2-5, or 1,2,3,4,5 - it doesn't work, only first page is printed. I did this printing test on all PCs with various documents and its always the same - once I got 5 pages and sometimes just one. Its really strange behaviour and I cant find the reason behind this mysterious thing...

Its real pain for me, because its only one small problem of maybe 100 more I encountered while I migrate all machines to Linux. I am using Linux successfully over 2 years, but just now I see, how such little things could spoil all the good I was talking to my -dear- users about Linux.

Any help is appreciated, I must setup it ASAP because -they- will force me to go back to Win98 clients and you know, I hate that virus problems.

Thank you all !

I'd have to guess its a problem with the printer being on a Windows share going thru Samba for the Linux boxes. Have you tried to configure this printer on one of the Linux machines, setup as a print server and see if it does the same thing?

Be a Friend

Using this link supports Winston's Wish (How?)

Author: Salina Yoon

Illustrator: Salina Yoon

Publisher: Bloomsbury

How this book might help: Reassures children that it is normal to be different! Encourages the reader to celebrate these differences and understand that there are other people who feel the same way, who are out there waiting for friendship, too. This story would help children with mutism or other communication issues, who struggle to relate to those around them.

Dennis is an ordinary boy, but he has unusual ways of expressing himself. His nickname is Mime Boy, because he doesn't speak - he only mimes. When other children show and tell at school, Dennis mimes instead. Whilst other kids climb trees, Dennis is busy being a tree. But he can feel lonely. The other children don't relate to him. One day, when he is alone, pretending to kick an imaginary ball, something unfamiliar happens - the ball is caught, and at that moment, Dennis meets Joy. Joy is a little girl who also likes to mime, and lives life the same way as Dennis. They don't need words to get along as friends together, and the world is suddenly a much happier place.

Reviewed by: Rebecca Seymour

Things we liked about this book: The style of illustration is particularly charming and, along with the text, introduces the reader to the art of mime, as opposed to focusing just on Dennis' specific difference - that he is mute.

Worth Noting: It is emphasised at the start of the story that Dennis is an ordinary boy - it's just his method of communication that is different.

Age Range: 3+

Tags: friends, mutism

2011 Research Awards Program

Research is integral to the work of the American Liver Foundation (ALF) and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and is essential to improving treatment and finding a cure.

Since 1979, the Research Awards Program has provided more than $23 million in research funding. Over 750 qualified scientists and physicians have pursued careers in liver disease research and treatment as a result of receiving ALF and AASLD grants early in their careers.

In April 2010, ALF announced the recipients of the 2010 Research Awards Program. Twelve scientists representing twelve medical and research institutions were awarded nearly $1,000,000 to support their research in the areas of acute liver failure, biliary fibrosis, hepatic inflammation, hepatitis C, liver cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and non-viral hepatitis.

ALF is proud to support these research efforts and hopeful that they will bring us closer to finding a cure for liver disease.

Bowflex Revolution Vs. Bioforce Home Gym
Sculpt your body at home. Photo Credit Health and Fitness Girl image by Paul Moore from Fotolia.com

Home fitness is an ever-changing industry and consumers continue to demand more quality for their money. Two home gym systems available on the market as of September 2010 are the Bowflex Revolution and the Bio Force TNT home gym systems. Each of these systems utilizes resistance technology to deliver multiple exercises to a user in a single, compact unit.

Bowflex of America began marketing its home gym systems in 1986. The company grew exponentially in the mid-1990s via heavy infomercial marketing of its Power Pro series. The company was later taken over by fitness giant Nautilus and currently offers the Bowflex Revolution as its high-end home gym system.

Bio Force home gym systems are marketed by Fitness Quest Inc., which also produces the Ab Lounge and Tony Little's Gazelle Glider. Bio Force gyms have been available since 2008 and come in the 1.7 or 2.2 model as of 2010.

Both the Bowflex Revolution and the Bio Force Home Gym provide more than 100 exercises through a series of adjustable resistance bars, handles and platforms. These machines are promoted as "total body" workouts in their promotional materials, and both machines allege to build and tone muscle. The owner's manual of each machine comes with prewritten fitness programs that focus on muscle building, fat burning and cardiovascular training.

The Bowflex Revolution utilizes SpiraFlex plates, which are lightweight and interlock on the side of the machine to provide from 10 to 300 lbs. of resistance stock with the machine. The SpiraFlex plates are the same elastic band technology used by the International Space Station to help astronauts prevent atrophy in low gravity environments. The Revolution also has two pulley arms that have up to 170 degrees of motion to simulate free weights.

The Bio Force home gym systems use Total Nitrocell Technology, or TNT, which includes "nitrogen-charged" hydraulic resistance cylinders. Fitness Quest claims that these cylinders offer an equal amount of resistance from the beginning to the end of each repetition. The machine also comes with a special nine-week fitness program designed by professional sport fitness trainer Eric Lichter.

The Bowflex Revolution measures 10 feet wide by 7 feet deep when it is in operation, and is just over 6 feet tall. When folded for storage, the footprint of the machine measure 55 inches wide by 38 inches deep. The Bio Force home gym is 52 inches wide and 82 inches tall when fully assembled. The machine is not collapsible when not in operation.

As of September 2010, the Bowflex Revolution costs $2,999 and the Bio Force 2.2 TNT System costs $999.50. The Bowflex Revolution comes standard with a 10-year warranty on all parts and maintenance, while the Bio Force home gyms come with a lifetime warranty on all parts, though shipping and handling for the parts must be paid for by the owner after the first year. Both products come with workout DVDs and have upgradeable accessory packages available for purchase.

Mini Hawaiian Burgers Recipe

Mini Hawaiian Burgers - Great slider recipe. Perfect for a party!

This week at I Heart Faces, the photo challenge is “I Heart Beef”. You don’t have to enter a food photo, entries that have anything to do with beef, such as grilling out, tailgating, etc. will be great.

I had the opportunity to meet the great people from and we cooked these burgers. They will make your mouth water!!! YUM!

  • 1 lb. 95% lean ground beef
  • 4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 canned pineapple slices
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet or small whole-wheat dinner rolls, split
  • lettuce

  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple preserves
  • 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

Combine ground beef and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into twelve 1/2-inch thick mini patties. Set aside.

Combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Place pineapple slices on rack in broiler; brush with sauce. Place pan in oven so surface of pineapple is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 4 minutes, turning once and brushing with sauce. Remove pineapple; keep warm.

Place patties on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 7 to 8 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until beef is not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning once and brushing burgers with remaining sauce after turning.

Cut each pineapple slice into thirds. Line bottom of each roll with lettuce; top with burger, then with a pineapple piece. Close sandwiches.

Rain forecast for Friday may be a blessing in disguise for Fourth of July revelers that are planning on watching firework shows to kick off the holiday weekend, according to storm-tracking experts.

The cold front that is expected to make for a wet Friday morning—likely raining on some Independence Day parades—will keep away Arthur, the tropical storm the reached hurricane strength Thursday as it works way up the East Coast, forecasters say.

“There really is at this time no direct impact,” David Stark, an Upton-based National Weather Service meteorologist, said of Arthur. As for the cold front keeping the tropical cyclone at bay, he added: “It looks like there’s a window there [Friday] evening for things to dry out.”

While the odds “increasingly” favor possible thunderstorms clearing out before noon Friday—leaving only a slight chance of rain after sundown when the fireworks shows start—the more serious threat are rip currents at ocean beaches, Stark said. The rough seas kicked up by Arthur will likely make it a better day for surfing than swimming.

The first named storm of the season comes at an unusual time, but is taking a typical July track. Only seven tropical storms and one or two hurricanes form per century this early in hurricane season, according to the weather service.

The agency had forecast a “near or below normal” 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season with eight to 13 tropical cyclones, three to six of which may strengthen into hurricanes, with one or two of those reaching major hurricane status. The season started June 1, peaks in September and ends Nov. 30.

In the short term, the rain is forecast to start falling at around 3 p.m. Thursday. Although it isn’t certain just how early skies may clear up on Friday, it is expected to take longer on the East End than the rest of Long Island. After that, the holiday weekend is predicted to have perfect beach weather with sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s on Saturday and Sunday.

Taking Tree: limited edition prints from Tes One

Originally a painting made in 2006, the relevance of Taking Tree seems to only grow larger in the void that individual privacy once filled. As the debate over why and if these actions are necessary rages on, remain mindful of who provides you information, and who takes it. A limited run of 50 Taking Tree archival prints, along with 15 hand-embellished prints, were released on June 20 on my website.

Riblja Corba – Ja Je Gledam Kako Spava lyrics

Mesec sija, iluzija
Ona spava na kaucu
Uskoro cu leci I ja
Dok napolju psi jaucu
Svi spavaju, niko budan
A ja sedim uzaludan
I gledam je hipnotisan
Sav zaljubljen I otpisan
Ona dise, sve mirise
Ne treba mi niko vise
Po njoj samo mesecina
Prosula se ko istina
Ja je gledam kako spava
Lepa je, boli glava

One Girl Revolution (Mob Action Mix) lyrics

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #

SUPERCHICK lyrics : "One Girl Revolution (Mob Action Mix)"

And I'll be everything
That I wanna be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot bang that you hear round the world

(And) I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

I wear a disguise I'm just your average jane
The super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
If all you see is how I look you missed the superchick within
And I christen you Titanic underestimate and swim

Some people see the revolution
But most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone

Comin out the underground, straight from the top
Where my beats drop, never gonna stop til I take part
Never lookin back, never lettin go
Rippin that flow cuz you know I'm unmatched from the get go
How you gonna act when the chips stack
When you know you can't go back
How you gonna handle that?
When they say that you not up to size, then ya gotta realize...

Guerilla Maab — Where The Haters At lyrics

[Dougie D]
What you know about the boys in Texas, we sipping and swang
And knocking and gripping the grain, and floss and let the screens rain
And tip-toe crawling down slow, and we sliding the city
Candy dripping off of the Lac, or the Benz or the Bentley
Creased up pieced up, smelling like Gucci or Versace
Bitches they love me and bop me, niggaz they love me deny me
Trunk cracked with the top back, we ride
I keep my glock coked, up on 84's my car bitch we glide
And you ain't know we keep it crunk, sitting low Excursion that bump
Four do's pop and lock up, you feel me throw the deuce up
Maabing and mashing the gas, soldiers united for cash
Fucking with deadly can mash, it's Guerilla Maab we ain't had
How a playa does it I is, I put that up on my kids
Z-Ro and Trae in the mix, with G. I. N. Balling and shit
We hitting hoes with the dick, fifth wheel recline with the kit
Smoking light green it's bliss, watch how do it like this like this

[Hook: Dougie D & (Trae) - 2x]
You ain't never seen a nigga crawling down so thoed
C-note, four do', swanging glass 84's
(You ain't never seen a nigga that could do it like that
Trunk cracked top back, yelling where them haters at)

I'm so throwed, crawling on 84's
Swanging and tipping slow, body rocking with a bad hoe
Nigga we tote techs, don't barre plex and blinding with a Rolex
Out the Southside of Houston Tex, where the thug niggaz fon't rest
We too playa, better cuff your hoe when I walk up in the do'
A certified Maab type nigga, tinted up in the fo' do'
See I'm a chrome zone rider, you dirty boppers get nada
Better stay the fuck from my casa, we clicked up like that Raza
One of a kind legendary thoed mouthpiece
For the Southwest, on back to the Southeast
You haters better get up off me, candy painted on a Kawasaki
With my nigga H. A. W. K., blue face falling over gray
Staying ready for the pistol play, it's be best not to fuck with Trae
Cause we Screwed Up Click thug niggaz, we push and we shove niggaz
Running up in the club nigga, when it's plex we plug niggaz
Texas tough, trunk pop, screens on two tone
Grab a chrome, for the haters till they all get gone

[Hook - 2x]

You ain't never seen another nigga, holding like me
You ain't seen a nigga with Benjamins, folding like me
You ain't never seen a guerilla, that's looking so lovely
Have you seen a jacuzzi, that's running over with bubbly
You aint never seen a nigga, represent the Dirty 3rd
You ain't seen me lately, cause I been ducking the whirly bird
You ain't never seen a nigga, put mo' food on the table
Z-Ro, Guerilla Maab, Cl'Che and Mello on the same label
You never seen a billboard, get hit so fast
Cause I'm a real nigga, that kinda put a foot in yo ass
Have you ever seen a nigga, roll the dice like me
Got big swoll ass partnas, named Bice like me
Have you ever seen a nigga, write a verse so fast
Plus I burst so fast, you gonna hurt so fast
Have you ever seen a nigga, with more skills than me
Blowing mo' dro, sipping drank, popping mo' pills than me

[Hook - 4x]

  1. Fun Game!
    by Amanda Howard, USA - Oct 26th 2014

    Glad I purchased this game. Fun to play more than once.

  2. Entertaining, addicting, challenging to get all the stars
    by Aber Deen, United Kingdom - Jan 8th 2014

    Easy enough to learn and get one star on each level, then two. Three took a while. Finished the game over a couple of weekends. I liked the strategy concept with the time management. You're not just watering plants and picking vegetables in this game.

  3. Great time management game - fun & addictive!
    by josiejay, United Kingdom - Nov 6th 2013

    The beauty of this game is that you get so much replay value from it as you hone your technique and strive for three stars on all 40 levels. The more stars you gather the more you can purchase to improve the settlers town. The music, sounds and varying pace of the game work together perfectly to help you direct the workers to achieve their tasks. The colour and variety of each level prevents it from being repetitive. Look out for the wolves, bears and gangsters which add a little extra challenge and fun to each level. The adorable little folk which run around in this game will make you laugh but they give a feel good factor to this game when they all dance, clap and cheer when you complete a goal. I also liked the speed up, slow down and extra resources buttons which you will have to use to get three stars on all levels.

Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Abdelkader shine as Red Wings roll over Canucks

By From staff reports

Sunday, March 17, 2013

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader scored a pair of goals apiece and Pavel Datsyuk notched three assists as the Detroit Red Wings took a 5-2 road victory over the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night.
The Canucks opened the game with a bang as Alex Burrows scored off the opening faceoff, giving Vancouver a 1-0 lead six seconds into the contest.
But Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard was solid from that moment on, stopping 33 of 34 shots the rest of the way.
Abdelkader evened the game with a goal with 13:52 to play in the opening period. Zetterberg canned a power-play goal with 6:03 to play in the second to put the Red Wings in front, 2-1. With 18:40 left in regulation, Zetterberg opened the margin to 3-1 with his second goal. Daniel Cleary scored with 14:03 to play and Abdelkader completed the Red Wing scoring with 5:16 remaining. Burrows added another score for the Canucks with 2:38 to play and the Red Wings, who improved to 14-10-5, were able to seal the victory. Vancouver fell to 13-8-6 with the loss. The Red Wings return home for a single game against Minnesota Wednesday before returning to the West Coast for another four-game swing next weekend.

Encyclopedia Software

If you grew up before the Internet era, there’s a good chance that you or someone you knew owned a set of encyclopedias, complete with full-color illustrations and transparent overlays showing the human digestive system. Nowadays, the Web is the ultimate repository of information. Search hard enough and you can find just about anything. But encyclopedias still have their place, serving as a good way to quickly find consistent and reliable information.

Two of the most popular physical encyclopedias, World Book and Encyclopedia Britannica, have recently updated their virtual equivalents. However, it is Software MacKiev’s implementation of World Book that shines, by offering a user-friendly interface and more-advanced tools.

World Book’s winning features

Software MacKiev has redesigned World Book 2006 from the ground up as a Mac OS X application. The result is a visually stunning, fantastically intuitive interface. There are also powerful and versatile search tools that let you use as many as three words or phrases to search by topic and keyword. For example, you can search for just “jaguar” or add additional keywords to include or exclude entries with the words “natural habitat.” You can further refine your search by media type, such as text, pictures, video, or sound. Once you reach an article, an outline panel helps you quickly navigate different sections while another option shows you related articles and Web links. Other perks include QuickTime videos and 3-D panorama views of famous locations.

World Book 2006 allows you to quickly collect, store, and organize notes while researching.
(Click image to open full screenshot)

The 2006 edition features several new and enhanced features, including an integrated dictionary that can use the Mac’s built-in voice software to pronounce any word in an article (excellent for kids learning to read) and a Dashboard widget that allows you to perform a quick search from the desktop.

One drawback to World Book 2006’s otherwise impeccable interface is the lack of a simple bookmark feature, like one you might find in a Web browser. But the company makes up for this by allowing you to copy and paste text into sticky notes that link back to the original article—you can even organize the notes into folders. Plus, the program automatically adds citation information to each note and allows you to share notes over a network using Apple’s Bonjour networking protocol. Now that’s useful.

Britannica: packed with content

Avanquest’s Encyclopedia Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite 2006 DVD offers an impressive amount of content—100,000 individual articles, according to the box. However, finding the exact information you want may not prove easy. The program includes a basic search field as well as the ability to browse by letter, subject, and media type. The advanced search gives you just three options with which to narrow down your keyword search: you can choose whether the article should include any of the words, all of the words, or the exact phrase.

The program’s interface is also puzzling: It opens each article in its own tab (much like Safari and Firefox’s tabbed browsing). However, Britannica splits articles by education level, so you might have different entries on the same subject for General, Student Library, and Elementary Library. Each of these levels gets its own tab at the top of the interface, while underneath is an additional set of tabs that contain all the actual articles regardless of the educational level you select. This makes the interface very cluttered and confusing. Plus, if you want to take notes while researching in Britannica, you have to copy and paste to another application.

Britannica contains tens of thousands of individual articles.
(Click image to open full screenshot)

The one new feature in Britannica 2006 is the homework help desk. However, this appears to be little more than a collection of instructional articles on writing papers and links to content accessible elsewhere in the interface.

Britannica does have two standout features, though: the BrainStormer and Timeline. BrainStormer allows you to view an article topic in a flowchart style, making it easy to see connections between related subjects. Both World Book and Britannica include timelines (useful for getting historical overviews), but while Britannica links its timeline items to articles, World Book, inexplicably, does not.

Macworld’s buying advice

We were extremely impressed by World Book 2006’s easy-to-use interface, as well as its in-depth search functions. These features, along with its dictionary and superior note-taking capabilities, place World Book far above its competitor. Although Britannica 2006 wins hands-down for sheer bulk of articles, information means nothing if you can’t find and utilize it in a meaningful way.

FTC calls out Google's Chrome over Do Not Track

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Liebowitz this week singled out Google for not adopting “Do Not Track,” the privacy feature that lets consumers opt out of online tracking by Websites and advertisers.

In an interview Monday with Politico, Liebowitz called out Google for not supporting Do Not Track in its Chrome browser.

Noting that Do Not Track had gathered momentum, Liebowitz said, “Apple just announced they’re going to put it in their Safari browser. So that gives you Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla. Really the only holdout—the only company that hasn’t evolved as much as we would like on this—is Google.”

Do Not Track has been promoted by the FTC and by privacy advocates including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), as the best way to help consumers protect their privacy.

The technology requires sites and advertisers to recognize incoming requests from browsers as an opt-out demand by the user. The information is transmitted as part of the HTTP header.

As Liebowitz said, Microsoft and Mozilla have added Do Not Track header support to their Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and Firefox 4 browsers. While Apple hasn’t confirmed that the next version of Safari will include Do Not Track, developers have reported finding the feature in early editions bundled with Mac OS X 10.7, aka “Lion,” the upgrade slated to ship this summer.

That leaves Google’s Chrome and Opera’s browser on the outside. But neither plans to implement Do Not Track anytime soon.

“Such features could lead to better privacy but potentially contribute to a false sense of security,” said Thomas Ford, a spokesman for Opera. “There are also some complications that arise when Web sites do not honor the Do Not Track feature. As such, we are exploring the area but have yet to make any announcements.”

Chrome has its own ideas about privacy, and also won’t commit to Do Not Track.

“We continue to offer the Keep My Opt-Outs plug-in for Chrome … which already works to permanently opt users out of most ad profiling,” a Google spokesman said in an email reply to questions.

The Keep My Opt-Outs plug-in blocks targeted ads produced by about 60 companies and ad networks that hew to self-regulation efforts by the online advertising industry. Currently available only for Chrome, Google has said it will release similar tools for Firefox and IE “fairly soon.”

Google declined to comment on whether it is considering adding Do Not Track header support to Chrome, but seemingly left the door ajar. “We’re encouraged that the standards bodies are working on these different header approaches, and will continue to be involved closely,” the spokesman said.

On Tuesday, Google also declined to comment on Liebowitz’s calling Google the Do Not Track holdout.

The company may face a decision sooner than later, said Jonathan Mayer, a student fellow at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society (CIS). Mayer is one of three researchers who crafted the newest iteration of the Do Not Track technology.

“When Apple follows, they’re going to check Do Not Track into WebKit, and then Google will face a choice,” said Mayer, talking about the open-source browser engine that powers both Safari and Chrome. “Are they going to expose the feature or not?”

If Google decides to disable WebKit’s Do Not Track feature when it builds Chrome, the company would repeat the mistake made by the once-dominant Netscape, which nine years ago first offered pop-up ad blocking, then removed it.

Asa Dotzler, Mozilla’s director of community development, made the same observation earlier this week when in a post to his personal blog he argued that Chrome’s lack of Do Not Track support meant the “team is bowing to pressure from Google’s advertising business and that’s a real shame.”

Mayer didn’t hesitate to call out Google.

“I think it borders on deceptive,” Mayer said of Chrome’s plug-in. “It’s not opt-out for privacy, it’s opt-out of tracking ads. They’re saying, ‘We won’t show you the ads, but we’ll still collect the data.’”

Google will likely bow to the building pressure and support Do Not Track, predicted Mayer. But he understands the company’s current position, even though he doesn’t agree with it.

“Google is in a particular awkward spot,” Mayer said. “Microsoft could sort of get away with supporting Do Not Track without saying what it means to its advertising business, but Google is a different story. They have to have a pretty good idea what [Do Not Track] means for the company.”

The bulk of Google’s revenue comes from its online advertising business, which could be affected by Do Not Track.

“I hope they have a plan, because the pressure’s mounting,” said Mayer. “It’s not clear what the internal decision-making process is. Some inside Google think it’s a good idea, other thing it’s a bad idea. [Do Not Track] is getting a lot of attention within Google, but it’s not clear who has the authority today to say, ‘Here’s our policy.’ They haven’t spoken with one voice.”

The picture may be clearer after the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), the primary standards body for the Web, meets at Princeton University to discuss Do Not Track.

“There we might get a better sense of whether they’re ready to proceed with Do Not Track,” said Mayer of the April 28-29 W3C workshop.

In preparation for the event, seven Google employees have authored a position paper (download PDF) on Do Not Track.
