By far the most powerful and complete toolset to keep your address book clean and lean!
This app combines three must-have tools in one to make sure that your address book is free of duplicates and unwanted contacts. Accompanied by a powerful always-on backup tool, this is for sure the ultimate address book app.
This module cleans your address book automatically but you will stay in control. Before scanning your contacts, you can configure the merge level: only detect 100% matches or also detect several kinds of partial matching. After that, it will run a scan to check for all duplicate contacts. Once the scan is complete, it will present you with the results. You can then choose to remove all matching contacts from your address book or to merge only a sub-selection of the duplicates found. Also works flawlessly with multiple sources like Gmail and iCloud to keep all duplicate contacts centralized.
This module is the ideal tool to remove contacts in bulk. Select the contacts you want to remove, click the delete-button and your contacts will be removed. For even faster selections you can use smart filters or the instant search function. And of course all contacts are backup up before they are removed.
Still got some contacts left that are actually duplicates but are too different to be automatically detected? Then this final module gives you the option to fine-tune your address book to the last bit. Just select the contacts you want to merge, press the merge button and you are done! The merge result is shown in a popup so you can tweak it a bit more if you want to get the optimal result.
All above modules create automatic backups before doing their trick. You can restore complete backups, but you can also restore a single contact (or a selection of contacts) from a certain backup. This gives you ultimate freedom!
All above is included in the app and is directly available (no in-app purchases required of course). The entire app is universal and optimized for iPhone, iPhone 7.0 and iPad.
CleanUp Suite will keep your address book as clean as possible, so get it now!

"Remote for Roku" is an iPhone/iPod Touch app that can remotely control Roku video players. The app has a simple and elegant interface, it automatically discovers the Roku players connected to your WiFi network and can control them just like the physical remote that came with the box. It also adds functionality like keyboard support (e.g. for video searches by name) and a channel launchpad.
There is no configuration needed, as long as your iOS device is WiFi-connected to the same network your Roku player is on. Notable exception are some (e.g. Qwest/Actiontec) routers, which do not support the auto-discovery protocol - for those the player will have to be added manually by tapping on "Other" in Settings.
Roku1, Roku2, Roku3, Roku Streaming Stick (HDMI or "Roku-ready" MHL variety), RokuTV, as well as the previous generations (LT, HD, XD, XS, XDS, DVP, SD, HD-XR, NTV250).
YouTube and Hulu+ do not respond to the iOS keyboard commands - this is an unfortunate limitation of the channels; to type, use the on-screen keyboard instead. Most games work well with "Remote for Roku" app but there are a few (like "Angry Birds") which cannot be controlled remotely with any app, since they are locked to require an "enhanced game remote" hardware. TV sound volume cannot be controlled with the app.
Zen Sketch is a cross between a note-taking and a painting app. We wanted to give people an app with a balance between power and simplicity: A place that could stay out of the way and let them think, but also contained an environment with the ability to add serious detail to their work. And so Zen Sketch was born. The app goes beyond regular ink handwriting apps by using an industry standard drawing/painting engine, but still organizes your work in a logical fashion like any good note-taking app.
Use Zen Sketch to create powerful notes or paintings. All your work can easily be exported out of the app as images or PDFs, and shared in just about every way imaginable. The app has no learning curve, and lets you work in a streamlined and clean interface designed with the latest technology in mind.

Dozens of custom frames expertly-crafted by renowned photographer Dirk Wuestenhagen, which include high quality scans of vintage paper, worn fabric, weathered stone, and a multitude of other materials and substrates that are then refined, blended, and fine-tuned to perfection in an arduous post-processing regimen aimed at exposing naturally occurring character lines, blemishes, and impurities.

Back in 2008 when the App Store was very young, Yonac released miniSynth, the very first iOS synthesizer. Compact and user-friendly, it introduced hundreds of thousands of iOS users to synths and paved the way for the great things to come in mobile music making.
We have come a long way since, continuing innovation with our flagship synth Magellan. As our apps grow more and more sophisticated, we wanted to also continue the heritage of the original app that started it all. So, here with all its elegant simplicity is miniSynth 2.
miniSynth 2 continues the spirit of the original, adding advancements we made in DSP, design and features over the last half decade. Simple and easy to use, miniSynth 2 projects a solid, fat tone from a strategic feature set -- an "abbreviation" of the sophisticated features we offer in our pro-grade synthesizers.
Like all our synthesizers, no compromises are made with sound and functionality. There are NO samples used, just real-time virtual analog synthesis.
miniSynth 2 also includes production-friendly features, such as Audiobus output, audio copy/paste, and a MIDI In port for playing miniSynth with an external controller or a virtual-MIDI app.
For the iOS pro and the novice alike, miniSynth 2 is intended as a back-to-basics synth answering the call when the inspiration strikes.
Capture life's full range on the go!

Antique Victorian Arched Marble Fireplace- Before - When searching craigslist becomes an every few days kind of thing... you might be a bit obsessed. But... in a good way.
When searching craigslist becomes an every few days kind of thing... you might be a bit obsessed.
When then bumping into something amazing that basically makes you a little giddy inside happens and when you find something that you have been searching every spelling, description, etc for months for... well, you do a happy dance.
And maybe a few arm flexes and strong man poses because you are that.excited.
I wasn't going to blog about this yet.... I haven't even washed and cleaned up yet. I just grabbed my phone and started snapping a few photos to share with you.
And yes, sharing with alllll the years of dirt and grunge they are covered in from being stored outdoors. haha.
I just could NOT wait.
First up- shout out to the man. He stops at Traders or the SF Flower Market and brings flowers home with him for projects for me.
He drove into the heart of the city (and one way streets which he hates to drive on) to pick that daybed up for me while I was in High Point working.
And... this weekend, he took a run over to San Jose to pick up a few amazing treasures.
I have actually had this on hold for a month. The guy who was selling them had them stored outside for years and years and so he was fine with waiting until our schedules aligned and he let me make a deposit until we got over his way.
This is an antique victorian arched marble fireplace mantel/surround. With heavy chunky carved center pediments and loads of simple details- and that luscious marble!! It was love at first sight.
The seller told me that his in laws had owned an antique store years ago and they had the mantel in the store after pulling out of an old victorian that was being torn down.
And here is the best thing... there are actually 2 of them.
Do you see me flexing and doing a happy dance right now?!
He mentioned that he had random pieces of marble that went with them (the sides and the bottoms) and that there was also more than one but it had been dropped somewhere along the line and had broken. But he said I could take them both and tinker with the broken one for the same price.
And of course, I jumped on that in about 1.5 seconds.
And I don't even want to tell you what the price was because oh my goodness, a trip to the grocery store for a couple of bags of food costs more than the asking price and what I paid for these.
Of course as you can see - one of them does have a few issues. The bottom of the leg on one side is in pieces. The good thing is- I was able to piece it back together in a few minutes to see if anything major was missing. And it is all there.
To me - once repaired it will add a lovely patina and character to the mantel- and it doesn't bother me at all.
And look at this detail on one of them.. oh my goodness.
One of my favorite things about arched marble fireplace mantels is that they are simple and elegant at the same time. Not a lot of fuss and simple classic details let the movement of the marble speak.
Of course, I am in awe of this gorgeous carved detailed beauty- so toss out the simplicity and bring on the amazing carvings too!
Or maybe a balance in between the two. Simple styling, detailed details and delicious marble.
Really though it is the arched box and those carved details on the center pediment that get me.
So what do you think? Would you be obsessed with these too?
I might be crazy... but I am okay with it!
Stay tuned for the fix and reveal.
Beautiful! Congratulations on your find.
I know the carved flowers are incredible- so much detail!!
They are amazing, I can't wait to see what you do with them.
They really are treasures! I am excited to play with them and clean them up!
Oh. My. Gosh! What an amazing find! They are gorgeous!!
So great to see them pop up for sale!
Absolutely beautiful! And the couldn't have fallen into better hands.
These are stunning, and the carved flowers just send it over the top!
You have inspired me to look on Craig's list more!!!! So gorgeous!
A woman after my own heart - I know that fervor and joy! I am anxious to see the final product!
Do you already have a place for them in your home?
They are GOR-GE-OUS!! They couldn't have fallen into better hands 😉 We'll all look forward to seeing what you do with them.
unbelievable....and such a good price...anxiously awaiting their placement in your home...congrats on your find..
Two for the price of one?!!! Amazing. Beautiful.
Stunning simply stunning, I would do the happy dance as well!
BAM! (That's the sound of me hitting the floor after fainting from envy!) I would say that Craigslist obsession of yours is extremely well justified. They are just gorgeous. Amazing find - congrats!
Exquisite!...I can see why you cannot leave the other behind!....I shall be on the lookout in the near future for two fireplace surrounds....I remember in one of the homes growing up, we had a massive marble fireplace surround...it was just the surround...no fireplace as it was in South Florida...but remembering it was my most favorite thing in the house. Congrats on the great finds!!

With that bold statement so begins John Flavel's 'Keeping the Heart', which Christian Focus have reprinted in time for it to be one of the exit-books at EMA 2012 last month. Flavel was an English Puritan in the seventeenth century, and this fairly short work, first published in 1668 as 'A Saint Indeed', is essentially an extended exposition of Proverbs chapter 4, verse 23, 'keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life'.
You can pick up books on how a Christian should act in all kinds of matters, but Flavel argues that there is nothing more important than for a Christian to be aware of their own heart. By 'heart' Flavel simply means the inner person, who we really are, and he proceeds to dispense with great care and consideration a meticulous probing of what we're about: our motivations, desires, affections. Unsurprisingly Flavel is crystal clear that we first need our hearts to be regenerated by God as we hear the gospel and respond in faith, i.e. we need to be converted. But as Christians with 'new hearts' we must seek to 'keep them', i.e. guard them, rooting out sinful thought and fixing them upon God, and this is the task to which Flavel urges us. So striking is his emphasis, that I found myself naturally comparing it with our culture, and feeling that in a lot of our modern Christianity we allow our hearts to roam pretty much unchecked. How often do I inspect my own motivations? How often do I examine that thought-process, or consider why I acted the way I did in that situation?
But not only does Flavel focus on the heart rather than externals, it also becomes evident that he is particularly perceptive in grasping the way our hearts work. The Puritans are often known as 'doctors of the soul', and as you read Flavel you can see why the nickname is deserved. The bulk of the book is the third section, 'Special Seasons in the Life of a Christian which Require our Utmost Diligence in Keeping the Heart'. For me, this is where his understanding of our hearts really shines through. To give you a sample of these seasons, he picks out 'the time of prosperity', 'the time of adversity', and 'the time of doubting and of spiritual darkness', as well as eight others. With each season he flags up particular temptations to which our hearts may be especially vulnerable, and particular truths that our hearts need to keep especially close.
I've found it a very helpful wake-up call to the importance of watching the motivations and desires of my own heart. It is amazing, when you stop to think about it, that we could ever envisage 'religion' to consist simply of external actions and performance or, worse still, that these could be a means by which God's favour rests upon us! Such a stance completely bypasses our hearts, and thus conveniently evades the question of whether there is anything in our affections and desires that just might suggest otherwise! We need to get real, and desire for God to transform even the most inner part of us.
Because of its pastoral and personal nature, I imagine this book is the kind from which real benefit comes as I dip back into it time and time again, particularly as I'm now alert to the reality that each season of my life will bring with it different 'heart-challenges'. But ultimately Flavel has shown me afresh the magnitude of my hearts affect upon all else that I do. He is arguing for us to be people who are in 'frequent observation of the frame of the heart', and that means I need to make changes, from the way I approach my daily 'quiet time', to being more self-aware in particular conversations, to how I review each day.
I recommend it as good medicine for the soul. The text is actually available online for free here, but you can also get the new paper copy from 10ofthose here.
1. It 'lets the gospel tell the gospel' and its all about Jesus. This is the great mantra of C.E., and it's brilliant! Attractively and unashamedly C.E. is focused on the person of Jesus and knowing Him, and the format focuses on Jesus walking off the pages of Mark's gospel. Its not about Christianity as a set of rules, or simply an experience, or merely a philosophical position. Chiefly Christianity is about Jesus – a person – and so C.E. seeks to help people realise that, breaking down wrong stereotypes and presenting 'the good news of Jesus the Christ', as Mark 1:1 puts it.
With everything we run as a church, we need to ask are we being faithful to the biblical gospel, but surely particularly so with our evangelistic events and courses; does this, yes attractively and winsomely, but also faithfully and clearly present what has been entrusted to us? Sin and wrath are the great pressure-points, and even when we use the term 'sin', the temptation is to redefine it and disconnect it from an offence against God, so that it just becomes personal problems, or relational conflict. And if the material we're using does that then as leaders we will be also, and so the people we're teaching will be unclear too. C.E. helps us steer clear of that error and so, I think, be both more loving friends and also more faithful stewards of the glorious gospel.
3. It teaches people to read the Bible for themselves. In my experience lots of people have the impression the Bible is 'unreadable'. This isn't helped by teaching, evangelistic or not, that comes across as if the Bible is some magic book that can't be read normally and requires heaps of 'special knowledge'. I love how C.E. takes people through Mark's gospel, bit-by-bit, and shows people that they too can read the Bible for themselves, and encounter Christ in his word. This is much better than either proof-texting, or a presentation of "the gospel" that doesn't seem to be based in any biblical truth. Its shows an encouraging level of confidence that God's word, through the Spirit's power, really is powerful.


Recently, some unfortunate events caused my life to screech to a grinding halt. Plans were thrown out the window, appointments rescheduled and emotions were set loose to mess up all the neat corners of my mind and my home.
Emails went unanswered, ringing phones stayed cradled and the stairs and hallways were fighting to claim bragging rights to the biggest ball of dog hair. For a week or two, my regularly scheduled programming was put on pause and the scripts needed to be re-written.
The questions is, how to press play again? Life can't stop for ever. When I stop, I get stuck and the longer I'm stuck the harder it feels to get going again. I had started to procrastinate life.
I had to laugh, because I've been facilitating a group at Sheena's Place on Clutter and Perfectionism and one of the trademarks of perfectionism, that leads to procrastination, is "All or Nothing Thinking". You know that saying, you teach what you need to learn? This has always been very true for me.
All or nothing thinking can easily get us into big trouble. This is the line of thinking that says "If I could only take 3 weeks off work, no make that a month, I could clear all my clutter." All or nothing thinking says that we have to do it all, right now, perfectly OR not at all.
Relating this to life, I guess I felt like I had to figure it all out, write the perfect new script and jump into life all the way. Pretend like nothing had happened. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't find a pen, let alone write a new script, so I stayed stuck.
I realized that the only way I was going to get unstuck was by pressing play, but I would do it slowly, by doing little things, one at a time. Get out of bed. Take the dog for a walk, even if you don't want to. Wash one sink full of dishes. Dust one shelf. Make one phone call. Cook one meal.
I remembered the things that were familiar and healing. I went to one yoga class and one night of dancing. I also decided that I needed to introduce things that were new so my partner and I explored a new conservation area and walked on new paths.
This past week, I've been alternating between play and pause, but the more I press play, the easier it is and the shorter the pause. What's been important for me to remember is that something is everything. Taking one step, making one gesture, moving one inch is enough to get life moving again. It doesn't have to be the best step and I don't need to know what my ultimate destination is, but as long as I'm moving, it's perfect.

Ferndale collects at least a share of OAA Gold Division crown with 21-10 win over Avondale
Ferndale's Leander Neal (right) celebrates a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown with his teammates in the second quarter of a 21-10 victory over Auburn Hills Avondale in a Week 6 OAA Gold Division game on Friday, Sep. 30, 2022. (DAN FENNER — For MediaNews Group)
By Dan Fenner |
PUBLISHED: September 30, 2022 at 11:31 p.m. | UPDATED: October 1, 2022 at 3:24 p.m.
FERNDALE — Having taken its licks through a long 1-8 season last fall, that experience gained by Ferndale's burgeoning roster finally paid big dividends Friday, as the Eagles captured a 21-10 victory over Auburn Hills Avondale in a de facto Oakland Activities Association Gold Division title game.
With all but a few departures from last year's squad back in the fold, the result was a rather dominant performance against a high-powered Avondale offense.
Behind the strength of their defense, the Eagles upped their divisional record to 3-0, breaking a tie atop the standings with the Yellow Jackets that ensures them at least a share of the title with one game still to be played.
"It means a lot. It's the first OAA Gold championship in history. I feel like we had a disappointing year last year being very, very young. But bringing all of our boys back, it is very rewarding to come from the bottom to the top in one year," said Ferndale's nine-year coach Eric Royal. "I'm very proud of the boys.
"I felt we had a very good week of preparation. As a coaching staff, we really put in the extra hours to get the boys in the right position and they really executed. They played hard. Avondale is a great team and they've been scoring a lot of points this season. Our defense really stepped up based on the preparation we had this week."
On the field for seemingly every snap of the game, Eagles junior Leander Neal was a difference maker on both sides of the ball as he scored all three of Ferndale's touchdowns, even serving as the holder on extra points.
"This is his coming out game. We've been expecting this all year. We expected Leander to make big plays," Royal said. "I couldn't ask for a better time for it to help us win a league championship. He was Mr. Everything for us today and we needed him to be."
The game's most pivotal play came with 3:51 to play in the third quarter on the heels of Avondale's first touchdown that had trimmed Ferndale's lead to 14-10.
Facing a third-and-12 near midfield, Eagles quarterback Darnell Bates stepped up in the pocket to deliver a perfect pass over the middle that found Neal right in stride for a 54-yard touchdown that halted the Yellow Jackets' momentum.
"My coaches up the in the booth and myself noticed they were really eying Cordae' McAllister, who is having a great year. So we tried to use him as a decoy out of the backfield to try and draw their defenders and let Leander Neal go to the post," Royal said of his team's thinking leading into the play. "Our quarterback did a great job of finding him to put the ball right where it needed to be for six points on the board."
From there, the Ferndale defense took care of the rest, preventing Avondale from drawing any closer. The Eagles stuffed a quarterback run on fourth down midway through the final quarter and capped off the night with a red zone interception by McAllister on the Yellow Jackets' final drive.

"We really worked on our secondary this week, mixing the coverages up, and giving them things they haven't seen from us on film," Royal said. "We just repped it and repped it. The boys really bought into it. We really flustered their quarterback who was having a great year. We really shut him down and I'm extremely proud of how we played."
In the first half, Avondale took a 3-0 lead on an opening-drive 32-yard field goal by Hunter Petras.
In the second stanza, Neal briefly stole the show entirely with a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute to put Ferndale in front 14-3. First, Neal found a crease in the defense on a third-and-goal pass, which he hauled in for a 6-yard score. Just 59 seconds later, while playing defense, Neal jumped in front of an Avondale pass and raced 40 yards untouched to the end zone for an interception return touchdown.
In the second half, Avondale broke through with a touchdown drive on its first possession — a 1-yard Tyler Herzog rush — but couldn't muster anything further against the Ferndale defense.
The Eagles improved to 3-3 overall on the season and will look to secure an unbeaten OAA Gold Division record in two weeks with a game against Pontiac.
"This means a lot, especially coming from 1-8 last year. It means a lot. It's really big for us," Bates said of the division title.
Avondale dropped to 3-3 (2-1 OAA Gold).

Yowie chief Bert Alfonso is stepping down after the company cut sales growth from 55 per cent to 17 per cent.
The company's shares lost 33 per cent to reach 14.2c following the news.

Yowie blamed the drop in sales growth was due to problems in North America.
The company launched its Canadian supermarket and US strategies late last year.
"Discovery World was expected to add $US3 million to FY18's budget but is now expected to fall short of this as retailers are hesitant to bring on more, lower priced offerings to the crowded set," the company said.
Discovery World is the company's lower priced brand.
"Canada was planned for a full year of on shelf activity. With the launch deferred to October, the expected contribution for FY18 will now be lower."
Second quarter sales in fiscal 2018 were $US5.4 million ($6.9 million), up 23 per cent on the corresponding period of fiscal 2017 but North America sales were flat at $US4.4 million.
Australian sales continued to meet targets, with first half sales up 15 per cent to $US1.8 million. Total group sales rose 7.5 per cent to $US10 million.
Mr Alfonso stepped down on Tuesday and Mark Schuessler, who was the global COO and head of Yowie North America, will become the new chief.

Brazilian beef won't be banned
Published: 08:57 Saturday 08 April 2017
It is clear from what the European Commission says that it is not going to ban Brazilian beef. This is despite pressure from the farming lobby, in the wake of evidence that Brazil was exporting meat on the basis of fraudulently obtained hygiene certificates.
Instead, after visiting Brazil, the EU food safety commissioner said meat plants would be audited by Commission veterinary inspectors by mid-May at the latest. In the meantime it would be business as usual – but with additional checks on imported Brazilian beef. This was no surprise, and it was equally no surprise that the Commission rejected suggestions that trade talks with the Mercosur countries of South America, including Brazil, should be suspended.
To be fair to the Commission this is commensurate with the risk. It makes clear to Brazil that it must prove it has tackled the problem and face full inspections of its industry. It also gives European consumers the protection they need. The Mercosur talks, which are important to the wider European economy, were never likely to be suspended. However the softly, softly approach towards Brazil, when it has been caught over corrupt practices and sale of meat not suitable for human consumption, contrasts with the wrath the UK is facing over Brexit.
This is particularly so in the European parliament, where this week many MEPs were enraged with the UK decision to leave the EU. It is still difficult to see how they could claim the UK can only go if it pays up to 50 billion euro in financial compensation. MEPs fromsome countries need to remember that in contrast to their own home nations the UK has never defaulted on its obligations, and for years has been a huge net contributor to the EU.
At this week's farm council ministers were a lot more conciliatory towards the UK than some MEPs. This reflects a growing view in the EU 27 that much as they may regret, or even envy, the UK's departure this has to be an orderly process. As the months go on, the rhetoric of accusations will be replaced by sensible negotiations. It was no surprise that after this week's farm council the farm commissioner, Phil Hogan, said he believed it would be 'inappropriate' for the UK to be involved in the detailed discussions on the future of the CAP after 2020. Removing itself from discussions beyond Brexit is in any event something the UK has done voluntarily.
In this week's debate on the future of the CAP the UK did make the valid point that if post-2020 is about simplification, why can some of that not be delivered now under the present regulations. That was a reminder of logic that will be missed when the UK leaves – and it would have been a natural ally of the Scandinavian and Baltic countries that have come together to demand a less centralised, and simpler CAP.
This pressure for simplification was underlined by the failure of the Commission to simplify greening. Instead, it has made it even more complex. Just as turkeys don't vote for Christmas, it seems bureaucrats do not understand the principles of simplifying regulations, or even making them more practical.
Farm ministers in the EU 27 must know they are heading for a policy that will be just as complex and more green than the current CAP, but with reduced direct support for farmers. That is inevitable, and Brussels will make sure it happens. It is adept at using statistics to prove what it wants, and will do so again over the direction in which European 'citizens' want to take the CAP.
That should make us glad to be escaping what is increasingly a failing policy. But departure would feel a lot more comfortable if there were even faint signs of the UK coming up with a policy that farmers could genuinely believe is better. We could break away from the CAP and its anti-science stance, its excessive regulation and the constant desire to justify the policy by making it greener and less practical. But those same sentiments drive policy at Westminster.
Voting power, and therefore political power, does not lie with farmers. Just like Brussels, politicians at Westminster will be over-influenced by the green lobby, when it comes to setting policy for the countryside. This means farmers could escape the frying pan of the CAP, only to jump into a fire of home-produced UK regulations driven by the same thinking – but with less money available.

Q: ssh publickey doesn't work UPDATE: I've solved this strange problem by simply restart sshd. However, I'm still wondering why, because I didn't change any configs since the server started.
I have 2 servers, one installed CentOS 5 and the other is CentOS 6. ssh publickey works fine on the CentOS 5 one, but it doesn't work on the CentOS 6. I confirmed the permissions of .ssh directory, it's fine.
[root@localhost ~]# ls -Z .ssh/
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 .
dr-xr-x---. root root system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 ..
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 authorized_keys
-rw-------. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0 known_hosts

UPDATE: I've tried several permissions, including 600, 644 for authorized_keys, and 700, 755 for .ssh/, all of them don't work.
ssh -vvv gives these message
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password

debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug3: authmethod_lookup password
debug3: remaining preferred: ,password
debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password
debug1: Next authentication method: password

Everything in sshd_config is as default. Also, I copied publickey through ssh-copy-id.

A: You have wrong permission for authorized_keys. You should unset read permission for group and other.

A: The Directory/ file permissions should look as the following:
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

ls -l ~/.ssh should show you the chmod permissions. Check if PermitRootLogin Yes is enabled since you are copying the pub key generated in root's .ssh directory. This could generate the problem.

A: What are the permissions on ~/ (your home directory)?  You cannot allow permissions at any level that would allow others to overwrite your ~/.ssh directory.  If your home directory is anything more permissive than 755, you will be prompted for a password.

A: If you are running selinux, that could be the issue.  The type of the .ssh dir and files underneath should be ssh_home_t.  You can verify with ls -Z, and restore with restorecon -Rv .ssh.
/var/log/secure might have more detailed error messages also.

A: Permission on authorized_keys must be 600 to make public key authentication work.

A: I'm running into the same issue and it turns out it's related to the fact that I moved my home directory to another disk (for space reasons) and the default security settings don't like this new place, so thus cannot or will not find my .ssh directory.  Trying to figure out out to update the ssh_home_t settings.

Part 1 of 2: HealthSouth Corp.
In the economic crime jungle, is one predator more rapacious than all others? If so, who is king of the fraud beasts?
Consider this. A staggering $1 million was the median loss for the 133 financial statement fraud cases tallied in the ACFE's 2014 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse. A far smaller amount — $145,000 — was the median loss for all 1,483 fraud cases the Report covered.
Clearly, the executive who falsifies financial statements is king of the fraud beasts. Alton Sizemore, CFE, CPA, knows the species well and has hunted down several of its members. Sizemore, a former FBI special agent, is owner of Alton Sizemore and Associates and a consultant with Forensic Strategic Solutions — a national financial investigation firm with offices in Alabama and North Carolina. Over a career spanning more than 30 years — 25 of them with the FBI — he has investigated numerous financial statement frauds.
By interviewing the executives who committed those crimes he learned to recognize and understand their fraud motives, opportunities and rationalizations. Sizemore also became proficient in trend and ratio analysis of financial statements to detect potential signs of falsification. And by observing those entries most frequently falsified, he developed a strong sense of those supporting documents to scrutinize. This article, in two parts, discusses these investigative principles and techniques in relation to two major financial statement frauds.
Sizemore managed the 2003 FBI investigation of a $2.9 billion financial statement fraud at HealthSouth Corporation in Birmingham, Alabama. That probe led to the first prosecution of a CEO and a CFO under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 for fraudulently misstating information on financial statements they had certified were accurate. The second case is currently in federal criminal court in Manhattan and concerns the alleged $250 million financial statement fraud at the now-defunct law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP. It will be discussed in part 2.
In an earlier Fraud Magazine Special to the Web Sizemore described the case, the culprits and the investigative techniques the FBI used to uncover documentary evidence of this fraud.
HealthSouth's book-cooking scheme persisted for 17 years before its discovery led to the prosecution and conviction of the 21 senior managers who conspired to perpetrate and hide it. How could the auditors not detect such a massive fraud? Through their repeated failure to look behind the financial statements to see whether they were accurate.
"For example," Sizemore says, "the company's balance sheet showed $300 million was in clearing between one bank and another. But the money didn't exist. The auditors never found out, though. They neglected to check again later to see if that money actually had cleared."
At HealthSouth, the fraudsters' motivation for misstating the financials was to keep stockholders from learning about slumping profits. Their opportunity was the external auditors' ongoing failure to stand up to the HealthSouth CFO who intimidated them. And their rationalization was that eventually the company would generate enough actual profit to make up for the phony revenue planted in the current financials. That fantasy never materialized, though, and the whole scheme unraveled when persistent shareholder pressure led to an investigation.
Both the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) went after the fraudsters at HealthSouth. Its then-CFO William Owens pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with investigators in exchange for a lighter sentence. He wore a tiny recording device in his necktie when he met with CEO Richard Scrushy, whom he had told the FBI was the leader of the fraud.
"The recorder malfunctioned, but we also planted a wire on Owens, and it transmitted the conversation to an off-site recorder," Sizemore recalled. "Scrushy opened Owens' coat to check for a recorder and found nothing. But he remained extremely cautious and said very little."
In 2003, Scrushy underwent a jury trial on criminal charges that he actively participated in the fraud. In criminal proceedings, the prosecution must prove its charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury found that the DOJ's prosecutors had failed to do so. Scrushy's lawyers had emphasized that no emails, memos or other physical evidence clearly linked their client to the fraud. And the taped conversation didn't persuade jurors that Scrushy was aware of, much less participated in, the fraud Owens said he himself had executed at Scrushy's bidding. For the jury, these factors added up to reasonable doubt, and they acquitted Scrushy on all criminal counts, including his alleged SOX violation.
In civil proceedings, prosecutors need only prove that their charges are more likely true than false. Given that lighter burden of proof, SEC prosecutors hoped they could present enough evidence to prove Scrushy guilty of accounting fraud.
The proceeding, by agreement of all parties to it, was a bench trial, in which there was no jury, and the judge decided the case. Earlier in his criminal trial, Scrushy's attorneys had successfully argued that even though he was HealthSouth's CEO, he hadn't known that his CFO and others were falsifying the company's financials.
But in 2000, the SEC had deposed Scrushy in relation to accounting fraud at MedPartners, a company in which HealthSouth invested and at which Scrushy was an outside member of the board of directors. During his deposition, Scrushy testified that he'd urged MedPartners' CEO to resign and had temporarily replaced him until another CEO could be appointed. When the SEC asked Scrushy who he thought was responsible for MedPartners' falsified financial statements, Scrushy said the CFO, the comptroller and the CEO were responsible. Why? the SEC asked. Because, Scrushy explained, all executives in those positions receive reports that would have told them whether the financial statements were accurate.
The SEC therefore argued in the 2009 civil trial that Scrushy's 2000 deposition statement (i.e., that the MedPartner's CEO must have known about the accounting fraud) should also apply to Scrushy as CEO of HealthSouth — a similar company in the same industry. The judge agreed, finding in favor of the plaintiffs and ordering Scrushy to pay nearly $2.9 billion in restitution.
If ever there was a case that demonstrated the value of multifaceted investigation and prosecution, this was it. "Turning" several defendants into witnesses for the prosecution wasn't enough to nail Scrushy. Neither was secretly taping his talks with a co-conspirator. But persistence and use of all available evidence finally won restitution for the victims. However, with today's tight budgets and limited resources, how can fraud examiners cover all the bases?
"Wrong question," says Sizemore. "We should ask how we can cover all bases that are worth covering. The answer is to follow an efficient, well-informed investigative process — one based on knowing where red flags are most likely to be, while maintaining an attitude of openness to the unexpected."
That isn't as daunting as it might seem, he adds. In Sizemore's experience, many supposedly new schemes have the same dynamics and ingredients as their more traditional antecedents.
"There are a thousand ways to commit financial statement fraud," Sizemore says. "But once you recognize its fundamental characteristics, you'll see how all such schemes overstate assets and income, understate debt and hide embezzlement. CFEs who understand this have an instinctive grasp of which red flags might exist, where to look for them and which supporting documentation to obtain and examine closely. Those CFEs know how to allocate their resources. And they get truthful, timely results for clients, employers, attorneys and prosecutors."
Next month, in part 2, Sizemore will explore the alleged financial statement fraud at Dewey LeBoeuf. As he will explain, CFEs who recognize the signs of a fraud like that at HealthSouth are well-equipped to detect those of others before their damage can escalate.
1. Ask as many questions as necessary, and evaluate the answers for reasonability. "If you don't understand something on a financial statement, or it seems unusual, ask for support documentation," Sizemore says. "Test it for reasonableness in terms of your understanding of the company's expenses and income, and the business environment in its industry and locality. If your reasonableness test reveals any red flags, perform ratio analyses. Be sure to compare the company with at least two others or with industry-wide values. Company statistics by industry — number of employees, sales and so on — are available online, and I've used them in numerous investigations. Some are available only by subscription, while others are free."

European Tour pro credits his roommate's burritos for making record NINE birdies in a row
Alex Myers
James Nitties isn't the first tour pro to credit burritos for success on the golf course. Bubba Watson has won two green jackets on the strength of these heavenly concoctions. But while Bubba enjoys frequenting Augusta-area Chipotles, Nitties relied on his roommate, fellow Australian Nick Flanagan, this week. And whatever Flanagan is doing in the kitchen is working.
Flanagan shot an opening 62 to grab the lead at the ISPS Handa Vic Open, but Nitties grabbed the headlines for his historic streak of nine consecutive birdies. Yep, NINE birdies in a row. Insane.

"I think just chill," Nitties, 36, said of his plans following Thursday's round. "Me and my roommate played pretty well today. He cooked burritos last night and he shot 10 under and I shot eight. So we got 18 under through the house. I think that's pretty good."
Check out Nitties' interview along with his incredible mustache:
https://twitter.com/EuropeanTour/status/1093550258423058432
He then ran to a bathroom. Kidding. We think.
On a serious note, the nine consecutive birdies is a new European Tour record. Bernd Wiesberger also made nine straight at the 2017 Maybank Championship, but that didn't count as an official record since the tournament was playing lift, clean, and place that day. Nitties also matched the PGA Tour record, which was set by Mark Calcavecchia at the 2009 Canadian Open.
"I'm pumped," Nitties told reporters after. "I don't hold any other world records that I know of, so to be a part of one is pretty cool."
Even crazier was that Nitties, who began his round on the 10th hole, started his streak after a double bogey on the 14th hole.
"I was a little peeved off that I made double from the middle of the fairway and followed up with a couple of birdies," Nitties said. "And then rattled off about seven or eight more — it's pretty special."
Congrats, James (and Nick). But don't be surprised if some fellow golfers come knocking on your door around dinnertime tonight.
