The Celtics delivered a nice pack
I found myself lying prone upon a bed of yellowish, mosslike vegetation which stretched around me in all directions for interminable miles. I seemed to be lying in a deep, circular basin, along the outer verge of which I could distinguish the irregularities of low hills.
It was midday, the sun was shining full upon me and the heat of it was rather intense upon my naked body, yet no greater than would have been true under similar conditions on an Arizona desert. Here and there were slight outcroppings of quartz-bearing rock which glistened in the sunlight; and a little to my left, perhaps a hundred yards, appeared a low, walled enclosure about four feet in height. No water, and no other vegetation than the moss was in evidence, and as I was somewhat thirsty I determined to do a little exploring.
Springing to my feet I received my first Martian surprise, for the effort, which on Earth would have brought me standing upright, carried me into the Martian air to the height of about three yards. I alighted softly upon the ground, however, without appreciable shock or jar. Now commenced a series of evolutions which even then seemed ludicrous in the extreme. I found that I must learn to walk all over again, as the muscular exertion which carried me easily and safely upon Earth played strange antics with me upon Mars.

Instead of progressing in a sane and dignified manner, my attempts to walk resulted in a variety of hops which took me clear of the ground a couple of feet at each step and landed me sprawling upon my face or back at the end of each second or third hop. My muscles, perfectly attuned and accustomed to the force of gravity on Earth, played the mischief with me in attempting for the first time to cope with the lesser gravitation and lower air pressure on Mars.
I was determined, however, to explore the low structure which was the only evidence of habitation in sight, and so I hit upon the unique plan of reverting to first principles in locomotion, creeping. I did fairly well at this and in a few moments had reached the low, encircling wall of the enclosure.
There appeared to be no doors or windows upon the side nearest me, but as the wall was but about four feet high I cautiously gained my feet and peered over the top upon the strangest sight it had ever been given me to see.
The roof of the enclosure was of solid glass about four or five inches in thickness, and beneath this were several hundred large eggs, perfectly round and snowy white. The eggs were nearly uniform in size being about two and one-half feet in diameter.
Five or six had already hatched and the grotesque caricatures which sat blinking in the sunlight were enough to cause me to doubt my sanity. They seemed mostly head, with little scrawny bodies, long necks and six legs, or, as I afterward learned, two legs and two arms, with an intermediary pair of limbs which could be used at will either as arms or legs. Their eyes were set at the extreme sides of their heads a trifle above the center and protruded in such a manner that they could be directed either forward or back and also independently of each other, thus permitting this queer animal to look in any direction, or in two directions at once, without the necessity of turning the head.
The ears, which were slightly above the eyes and closer together, were small, cup-shaped antennae, protruding not more than an inch on these young specimens. Their noses were but longitudinal slits in the center of their faces, midway between their mouths and ears.
There was no hair on their bodies, which were of a very light yellowish-green color. In the adults, as I was to learn quite soon, this color deepens to an olive green and is darker in the male than in the female. Further, the heads of the adults are not so out of proportion to their bodies as in the case of the young.

How to test server-to-client bandwidth for RTMP clients
Forum, Support | Wowza Media Systems - How to test server-to-client bandwidth for RTMP clients
This article describes how to use a bandwidth checker provided by forum contributor Roger. It is a Wowza Media Server/Java version of the bandwidth checker:
Copy the client folder that you extracted from the BWChecker.zip file to a client computer. The client folder contains the following renditions of the bandwidth checker client:
bwchecker.html
This is an interactive tool that tests server-to-client bandwidth every 5 seconds.
The sample application will return the download speed and latency value between the remote Wowza Media Server and your local browser approximately once every 5 seconds.
bwcheck.fla
This is an example of how you might call the bandwidth checker on the server from your Adobe® Flash® client application. You can integrate the example code in this file into your Flash-based player to test bandwidth before playing a media stream. When the bandwidth checker is done, it will call onBWDone with the calculated bandwidth in kilobits-per-second (kbps).
To install the BWCheck package
- Download BWChecker.zip and extract the contents from the compressed (zipped) folder.
- Copy the lib/wms-plugin-bwcheck.jar file in the package to the [install-dir]/lib folder.
- If Wowza Media Server® is running, restart the server.
To configure the bandwidth checker on the server
- Create a folder named [install-dir]/applications/bwcheck.
- Create a folder named [install-dir]/conf/bwcheck.
- Copy the [install-dir]/conf/Application.xml file to the new [install-dir]/conf/bwcheck folder.
- Open the [install-dir]/conf/bwcheck/Application.xml file in a text editor and either remove or comment-out the flvplayback module reference:Code:
<!--Remove or comment-out this section.--> <Module> <Name>flvplayback</Name> <Description>FLVPlayback</Description> <Class>com.wowza.wms.module.ModuleFLVPlayback</Class> </Module>
- Add the following module reference as the last entry in the <Modules> section (it is important that it be the last entry):Code:
<Module> <Name>BWCheck</Name> <Description>BWCheck</Description> <Class>com.wowza.wms.plugin.bwcheck.ModuleBWCheck2</Class> </Module>
Note: The ModuleBWCheck2 module source code is included in the src folder that you extracted from the BWChecker.zip file.
To configure bandwidth checker clients
Copy the client folder that you extracted from the BWChecker.zip file to a client computer. The client folder contains the following renditions of the bandwidth checker client:
bwchecker.html
This is an interactive tool that tests server-to-client bandwidth every 5 seconds.
- Install the bandwidth checker client:
- On Windows® operating systems, right-click install.bat, and then select Run as administrator.
- On Linux® operating systems, run ./install.sh.
- On Mac OS® X, run ./install.command in a terminal window.
- Open the bwchecker.html file in a web browser and update the Server field with the IP address of the remote Wowza Media Server that you configured in the previous section (for example, rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/bwcheck).
- Click Start.
The sample application will return the download speed and latency value between the remote Wowza Media Server and your local browser approximately once every 5 seconds.
bwcheck.fla
This is an example of how you might call the bandwidth checker on the server from your Adobe® Flash® client application. You can integrate the example code in this file into your Flash-based player to test bandwidth before playing a media stream.

City Breaks – Ride to Amsterdam
He ate in the same open air; that is, his two only meals,—breakfast and dinner: supper he never touched; nor reaped his beard; which darkly grew all gnarled, as unearthed roots of trees blown over, which still grow idly on at naked base, though perished in the upper verdure. But though his whole life was now become one watch on deck; and though the Parsee's mystic watch was without intermission as his own; yet these two never seemed to speak—one man to the other—unless at long intervals some passing unmomentous matter made it necessary. Though such a potent spell seemed secretly to join the twain; openly, and to the awe-struck crew, they seemed pole-like asunder. If by day they chanced to speak one word; by night, dumb men were both, so far as concerned the slightest verbal interchange. At times, for longest hours, without a single hail, they stood far parted in the starlight; Ahab in his scuttle, the Parsee by the mainmast; but still fixedly gazing upon each other; as if in the Parsee Ahab saw his forethrown shadow, in Ahab the Parsee his abandoned substance.
And yet, somehow, did Ahab—in his own proper self, as daily, hourly, and every instant, commandingly revealed to his subordinates,—Ahab seemed an independent lord; the Parsee but his slave. Still again both seemed yoked together, and an unseen tyrant driving them; the lean shade siding the solid rib. For be this Parsee what he may, all rib and keel was solid Ahab.
At the first faintest glimmering of the dawn, his iron voice was heard from aft,—"Man the mast-heads!"—and all through the day, till after sunset and after twilight, the same voice every hour, at the striking of the helmsman's bell, was heard—"What d'ye see?—sharp! sharp!"
But when three or four days had slided by, after meeting the children-seeking Rachel; and no spout had yet been seen; the monomaniac old man seemed distrustful of his crew's fidelity; at least, of nearly all except the Pagan harpooneers; he seemed to doubt, even, whether Stubb and Flask might not willingly overlook the sight he sought. But if these suspicions were really his, he sagaciously refrained from verbally expressing them, however his actions might seem to hint them.

A highlight from this release
- Toggle Visibility of Side Panels (issue 6095) One little enhancement yet sneaked into this version. You can now toggle visibility of side-panels. See couple of screenshots.
- The Console panel does *not* activate JSD (issue 4978) This is great performance improvement. The Console panel doesn’t require JSD anymore (the internal Firefox JS debugging engine). If you enable the panel – JSD doesn’t have to be activated. This change makes the Console panel faster.
For example, if you don’t need the Selectors side panel you can keep it hidden.
The state is persistent across Firefox restarts and it’s panel specific. So, if you hide side panels for the CSS main panel it applies to the CSS panel only.
Please post feedback in the newsgroup, thanks

Gluten-free Delights for Everyone
"That drove the spigot out of him!" cried Stubb. "'Tis July's immortal Fourth; all fountains must run wine today! Would now, it were old Orleans whiskey, or old Ohio, or unspeakable old Monongahela! Then, Tashtego, lad, I'd have ye hold a canakin to the jet, and we'd drink round it! Yea, verily, hearts alive, we'd brew choice punch in the spread of his spout-hole there, and from that live punch-bowl quaff the living stuff."
Again and again to such gamesome talk, the dexterous dart is repeated, the spear returning to its master like a greyhound held in skilful leash. The agonized whale goes into his flurry; the tow-line is slackened, and the pitchpoler dropping astern, folds his hands, and mutely watches the monster die.
Let us, then, look at this matter, along with some interesting items contingent. Every one knows that by the peculiar cunning of their gills, the finny tribes in general breathe the air which at all times is combined with the element in which they swim; hence, a herring or a cod might live a century, and never once raise its head above the surface. But owing to his marked internal structure which gives him regular lungs, like a human being's, the whale can only live by inhaling the disengaged air in the open atmosphere. Wherefore the necessity for his periodical visits to the upper world. But he cannot in any degree breathe through his mouth, for, in his ordinary attitude, the Sperm Whale's mouth is buried at least eight feet beneath the surface; and what is still more, his windpipe has no connexion with his mouth. No, he breathes through his spiracle alone; and this is on the top of his head.
If I say, that in any creature breathing is only a function indispensable to vitality, inasmuch as it withdraws from the air a certain element, which being subsequently brought into contact with the blood imparts to the blood its vivifying principle, I do not think I shall err; though I may possibly use some superfluous scientific words. Assume it, and it follows that if all the blood in a man could be aerated with one breath, he might then seal up his nostrils and not fetch another for a considerable time. That is to say, he would then live without breathing. Anomalous as it may seem, this is precisely the case with the whale, who systematically lives, by intervals, his full hour and more (when at the bottom) without drawing a single breath, or so much as in any way inhaling a particle of air; for, remember, he has no gills. How is this? Between his ribs and on each side of his spine he is supplied with a remarkable involved Cretan labyrinth of vermicelli-like vessels, which vessels, when he quits the surface, are completely distended with oxygenated blood. So that for an hour or more, a thousand fathoms in the sea, he carries a surplus stock of vitality in him, just as the camel crossing the waterless desert carries a surplus supply of drink for future use in its four supplementary stomachs. The anatomical fact of this labyrinth is indisputable; and that the supposition founded upon it is reasonable and true, seems the more cogent to me, when I consider the otherwise inexplicable obstinacy of that leviathan in HAVING HIS SPOUTINGS OUT, as the fishermen phrase it. This is what I mean. If unmolested, upon rising to the surface, the Sperm Whale will continue there for a period of time exactly uniform with all his other unmolested risings. Say he stays eleven minutes, and jets seventy times, that is, respires seventy breaths; then whenever he rises again, he will be sure to have his seventy breaths over again, to a minute. Now, if after he fetches a few breaths you alarm him, so that he sounds, he will be always dodging up again to make good his regular allowance of air. And not till those seventy breaths are told, will he finally go down to stay out his full term below. Remark, however, that in different individuals these rates are different; but in any one they are alike. Now, why should the whale thus insist upon having his spoutings out, unless it be to replenish his reservoir of air, ere descending for good? How obvious is it, too, that this necessity for the whale's rising exposes him to all the fatal hazards of the chase. For not by hook or by net could this vast leviathan be caught, when sailing a thousand fathoms beneath the sunlight. Not so much thy skill, then, O hunter, as the great necessities that strike the victory to thee!
Comparing PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, and OpenVPN
Advantages and Disadvantages of PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, and OpenVPN: Advantages and Disadvantages of PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, and OpenVPN
PPTP vs L2TP vs SSTP vs SSL/OpenVPN
If you've done some reading about VPN, you probably already know that it stands for Virtual Private Network
and it's a popular way for businesses to provide a secure way for
employees to remote into their servers. But did you know that there are
different protocols available for VPN? These protocols are commonly
referred to as PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and SSL/OpenVPN. Each operates by its own set of rules and each have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.
PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
is one of the most commonly used forms of VPN because it is easy to set
up and maintain. It encrypts data using a 128-bit key. Because of this,
it is considered one of the weaker forms of VPN and is mostly used for
personal tunneling purposes like sharing pictures. More recent versions
of PPTP also use EAP authentication, an authentication protocol designed
for use for wireless and point-to-point connections. EAP is designed to
recognize most authentication methods. Positives include the fact that
it uses TCP, which allows for retransmission of lost data.
PPTP was developed by Microsoft along with a few other companies and is natively supported by Windows. Firewalls like ISA Server, Cisco PIX and Sonic Wall recognize it. The biggest disadvantages include the fact that it is one of the least encrypted forms of VPN, data encryption starts after the computers have gone through the authentication process and made the point-to-point connection, and requires only user-level authentication.

L2TP
Layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP)
derives its name from the fact that it makes use of Layer 2 of the OSI
networking model and was the result of a joint effort between Cisco and
Microsoft to provide a more secure tunneling protocol. It works with the
IPSec model to provide 168-bit encryption and requires two levels of
authentication, making it a little more powerful on the encryption side
than PPTP. L2TP prevents data from being altered while traveling between
the sender and receiver and also requires either a shared key or a
digital certificate before transmitting data. One of its biggest
advantages is that it also encrypts the authentication process, making
it more difficult for someone trying to "listen in" on your transmission
to intercept and crack the data.
If you notice that your L2TP connections are down, one common cause might be your security certificate infrastructure. They do make use of pre-shared keys, so if something changes in the key at one end of the connection, the key at the other end will not work. So be sure to keep track of your security certificates to make sure your keys are the same at both ends of the connection.

SSTP
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP)
works in situations where most VPN connections would be blocked. This
includes countries like Belize, which forbids the use of VPN technology,
and certain companies that do not use or block VPN connections. It uses
Port 443, the same port used by Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
transmissions. This combines with a special method to form the packets
to allow SSTP transmissions to pass through most proxies and firewalls.
It is considered the most secure of VPN tunneling protocols because it
uses SSL, authentication certificates and 2048-bit encryptions.
The major downside to SSTP is that it was created exclusively by Microsoft and only works on Windows Vista SP 1 and Windows 7. Because it is proprietary, there are no known plans to make it available to users of Mac OS, Linux and older versions of Windows. Because SSTP is such a secure protocol, it is possible to become complacent when remoting into your server from a public location. It is possible for your username and password to be intercepted at places like the airport, library or university, or even at your home if you make use of an unsecured or lightly secured wireless router. Your best bet is to use VPN connections along with a common-sense approach to security.

OpenVPN
Whenever Microsoft releases any kind
of proprietary, fully copyrighted software, you can almost count on
lovers of Open Source software creating a free version that works about
as well, and sometimes better than, the Microsoft version without the
price tag. OpenVPN also makes use of SSL technology and works on
Mac OS, Windows, Linux and some IP phones. It operates on both Layer 2
and Layer 3 and has extra features that can transport Ethernet frames,
IPX packets and NETBIOS functionality. It can also be set up to share
Port 443 with HTTPS transmissions. It can handle multiple channels over a
single TCP or UDP port and can be managed through a Telnet setup. Some
network administrators have been known to use OpenVPN to connect two
network routers over an untrusted wireless network.
OpenVPN's biggest weakness is the amount of latency, or the amount of delay involved in the operation of a system. This weakness can be gotten around by using more powerful and newer computers for the VPN connection, keeping your security software updated, and making use of SSL certificates and trusted certificate authorities. It also has to connect to a single TCP port on the client end.
