Can Open Source Technology Save Music? — by Jesse von Doom & Maggie Vail of CASH Music
We are now more than a decade into the technological revolution that turned the music industry upside down. Initially, it felt like there was so much possibility, that the internet might be the great democratizer, that it could empower artists to take more control over their careers, and ultimately allow them to see more of a percentage of income from their music. There have been some success stories, but it seems the vast majority of artists today are struggling even more, making less money yet paying more middlemen.
Recently musicians have begun to be more open about discussing their shrinking percentages in this music industry food chain. There's been articles in the past few months about major indie artists that are unable to pay for their own health insurance, bands frustrated with payments they receive via streaming services, and apparently now Cat Power is even facing bankruptcy. When artists are willing to publicly talk about money it means that things are definitely taking a turn for the worse.
People often like to talk about disruption when discussing the music industry but the initial disruption was the easy part, think of it like screaming fire in a crowded theater, it's actually putting something together after that chaos that is the difficult and interesting work. Every few years we see a different solution touted as the answer. First it was mp3 downloads, then it was internet radio, and now that the cloud is here it's streaming on demand. This sort of technological determinism is market driven and frankly isn't necessarily what most artists need or even want.

Some Songs From 2010
It's that time of year again, the end of it, and everyone's posting their best-of 2010 lists. A flood of great music pounds against every blog, so rather than trying to make a list of the "best" music I decided to shine a light on some songs that were real hight-points in my year — from the halls of the FMA with a few new additions snuck in to round things out.
So without further ado, here are Some Songs:
But wait there's more!
There were two more songs I wanted to add to the mix, but you'd be missing out if you didn't see the videos. So check these out in all their moving picture glory:
- Ted Leo & The Pharmacists: "Bottled in Cork"
- Bad Books: "You Wouldn't Have To Ask"
If you're looking for a proper best-of list you need look no further than the Free Music Archive homepage or basically any blog — but I'd recommend checking out Greg Kot's Top 10/20 list. (Greg covered all bases, so there's something for everyone in there.)
And there's a lot of really great stuff not listed in this playlist or most year-end best-ofs...so make sure you find time for 2010 music from Titus Andronicus, Dios, Magnetic Island, Zola Jesus, Former Ghosts, Philip Selway, Philip Bailey, Well and Goode, Family of the Year, Das Racist, Howl, She Makes War, Frightened Rabbit, Woodsy Pride — and suggest more because I know I'm leaving a lot of deserving folks off of the list.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya LAUNCHES!!! (Updated)
i no the dance to this and i wanted to watch it so i cant wate
You should have gotten K-ON!
You'll Regret The Day, When I Find Another, Who Knows Just What I Need!!!
michana [ (we have a few more simuls to announce later, so bear with us!).
You know after reading this I felt "hey maybe this season isn't going to be so bad here, I'll go ahead and stick it out." Now its been 11 days since that was posted with still no word. I'm not trying to sound like some petulant whining kid about it but its beginning to get a little ridiculous in my mind. Im sure some will say that I should be appreciative of the service that CR is providing and that these things take time, but its just that....they are providing a service that I pay for and I have paid for since they began this endeavor in Jan of '09. With no feedback from anyone on progress of new licenses it feels like they are simply leaving their customers swinging in the wind. I know if I told any of the customers in my line of work that they would be getting service "soon" and to "just bear with me" and then they were left without any sort of followup for nearly 2 weeks the phones would be ringing off the hook with complaints. It just seems to me that even if they were having troubles obtaining what they thought they had set up for new properties at least a small update is in order. I do support CR and appreciate what they do since I do not watch fansubs; this site, Funimations portal, and DVDs are my only outlets to watch anime. I just felt as a paying customer that I should voice my concern in regards to the direction that this season has gone. I'm just glad that Durarara is here because that's the only reason that I feel I'm still getting my moneys worth, as compared to say 3 seasons ago when there was at least one or 2 shows each night that I came here to watch.
Building a turtle fence.
Well, she said a few more were coming. I hope that's the case!! But if it's not, that's fine. :3 One step at a time, right?

It is ridiculous, but the ridiculousness is based in Japan. Most TV series are financed by a committee stitched together out of the TV network(s), the anime production house, the Japanese distributor, a toy company, a manga publisher, etc. Each member normally gets specific rights that it gets its return from - merchandise, broadcast, DVD's, drama CD's, etc. And of course its the Japanese way that everyone wants to wait until everyone else has said yes before they will say yes.
Remember that one series in Fall2009, Yumeiro Patissiere, took a whole month after it went to air before the streams started on CR. It will just take a while to get to the point where the production committees are thinking, "and of course we want to have our overseas simulcast lined up in time for the premier episode".
8 years as a premium member, but no more
Well that is understandable, but the main point that frustrates me is not that the series don't premiere the same week of or a couple weeks after the broadcast dates, but the lack of communication about such things. If things are delayed that's fine; I just feel that we deserve some type of updates or such that things are still moving along. Even if it is just a bit of a simple platitude like "we're getting really close to having another new series guys just a bit longer..." that still serves to give customers a personal touch through communication that goes a long way. It's just always been my experience in doing business that a few minutes (or actually seconds in this case of posting a message) of personal customer service goes a long way towards keeping customers happy. I guess I didn't clarify well enough in that post that it's not the actual delay that I see as a problem but the lack of communication

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
DateFebruary 2002
Other Media
This site for the Smithsonian Institution's collection of modern and contemporary art provides access to the museum's programs, exhibitions, events, visitor information, and its extensive collection.
Conceived as the nation's museum of modern and contemporary art, the mission of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is to collect and educate the public about the art of our time. Founded with the generous donation of Joseph H. Hirshhorn's personal collection, the museum collects and exhibits artwork primarily from the post–World War II period. Key artists of the twentieth century—from Picasso and Giacometti to de Kooning and Warhol—are represented. Visitors can learn about museum programs and events, search more than 2,000 artworks in an online Collection Search, and experience making their own art in a Create a Sculpture interactive. The Web site is designed to mirror the museum's approach to displaying contemporary art: the setting is clean and modern, while it is also accessible and intuitive. Color is used as an accent and a navigational cue to compliment—not overwhelm—the viewing of art. Built to be intuitive to visitors and easily maintained by the Hirshhorn staff, the site includes several database-driven sections, including a Calendar and Current Exhibition features, which are updated via custom, Web-based administration tools. In addition to database-driven features, the site includes two special interactive pieces. The Hirshhorn Story is a cinematic slide show that documents the history of the institution, the building, and its founder. Create a Sculpture is an educational interactive that teaches visitors of all ages about the process of making art by enabling users to create their own art online using a palette of shapes, colors, and effects.

Wow, this has been such a hectic day because I spent so much time on three tutorials to ensure that they came out great. This next lesson that I am about to submit is going to be on how to draw a Native American Pinup girl step by step. This sketch was requested by a member and it took me some time to make sure that it came out just right. Now because I took my time I created an Indian girl looking fabulously sexy with long legs, and a cute one piece suit with a simple headdress containing one feather in the back. She came out so pretty I hope that the person I drew it for likes what I have done. All the coloring and shading came out wicked nice and clean looking. The Native American girl looks so fresh that I could literally keep looking at her all day long. Now since the guest that I drew her for wanted a vintage look, that is what I delivered. Now of course I had to look at several different reference pictures before I chose the position that I wanted the Indian girl to be in. But once I found the right pose, I went with the flow and created something that looks like it could never get old. Pinup girls were posters with images of woman from the late thirties through the early seventies. The look of the woman from the forties and fifties was so pure looking. I mean the woman of those years seemed like they had almost flawless faces. Nowadays, faces are airbrushed and covered up with all kinds of make-up which to me is not real beauty. Native American woman and girls are so beautiful. They have shinny black hair, copper colored skin, nicely shaped faces and a sleek but healthy looking physic. I really did enjoy sketching out this drawing because it made me want to draw more vintage style girls and woman. I hope you like learning how to draw a Native American Pinup girl step by step. I shall return with one more lesson for the day so keep that in mind while you tackle this pretty tutorial that is really simple. Peace out!

If you look closely at my blog page, you know that I write a significant number of posts for a website known as FamilySearch TechTips. I am not the only contributor to this genealogy oriented technology site. The articles on the site are aimed at a variety of experience levels and whole catalog of topics. New content is added regularly. Even if I didn't write so much for the site, I would recommend it.
Last year, TechTips was introduced for the first time at RootsTech 2011.
Since that time the site has remained in relative obscurity. This year,
TechTips has a presentation area right at the main entrance to the
Exhibit Floor and the staff has done dozens of presentations on the site
to hundreds of people.
Thanks so much to the staff of TechTips for their fabulous site and effort at RootsTech.

Here's the thing about our slow cooker:
We have owned it for YEARS. I'm not sure if it was a present or just something I picked up one day, but we have a beautiful, fancy-schmancy one from All Clad, and we've had it for probably five years.
And up until a few months ago, do you know how many times I had used it? Once. (Conveniently documented on Sugarlaws, I used it to make beef chili back in 2009… during which I accidentally fed Chad a spoonful of straight cayenne pepper, oops! He still brings it up.)
For a long time, I thought our slow cooker might go the way of the breadmaker — a bulky, essentially useless appliance that eventually we'll either give away or toss when we run out of kitchen space. But then a few months ago, I thought to myself: "Hey, these things are supposed to be really good for easy meals, and I'm about to have an infant on my hands in a few months, so anything that can make cooking dinner into a five-minute endeavor might be worth revisiting."
And so I did. This recipe is about the simplest, easiest thing ever — just a couple of ingredients, and you literally put them in a pot and check back in 5 hours.
And when I did? I went to lift a chicken breast out of the pot, and it literally fell apart on the fork. Needless to say, a big grin spread across my face — this one was an instant success.
Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken
3 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
8 ounces barbeque sauce (I used Bulls Eye Original, because Chad is extremely picky about these things)
1/3 cup Italian salad dressing
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sandwich rolls, split
Place chicken in a slow cooker. Mix together the barbecue sauce, italian dressing, brown sugar, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the chicken. Cover, and cook 4 hours on your slow cooker's "High" setting.
When the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the breasts. Spoon generously onto sandwich rolls (I also like to add a layer of extra bbq sauce to the rolls) and serve.
Makes enough chicken for 6 sandwiches.

- Stocks To Watch Today
Gunmakers Bounce Back, Smith & Wesson Up 9%
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Yesterday, I noted the plunge in the share price of leading gunmakers Smith & Wesson Holding (SWHC) and Sturm Ruger (RGR) in the wake of the shootings in Newtown, Conn., on Friday. Unlike other mass killings, Friday's slaughter seemed to signal a shift in sentiment, with the two stocks taking a beating. Today, however, it seems as if some investors have decided they've seen enough: Smith & Wesson stock is up more than 9%, while Sturm Ruger is climbing about 7%.
It's hard to know how much of a change this is: Both companies are still down from Thursday's close, Smith & Wesson by 11%, and Sturm Ruger by 9%. But if nothing else the gains signal that some people see a buying opportunity.
Not everyone agrees, even on purely fundamental grounds: on Wednesday analysts at Cowen downgraded Smith & Wesson to Neutral, writing in a note:
The Newtown tragedy increases pressure for stricter gun laws successfully opposed to date by the NRA. Fallout for SWHC could include (1) ban on sales of assault rifles & magazines, (2) headline overhang of Congressional gun debate, & (3) start/stop pattern in gun sales. While the stock sells for a modest FY 13E TEV/EBITDA of 3.9x and is off 25% from its recent high, we're paring to Neutral from Outperform given the limited FY14 visibility.
Today's gains came even as President Obama reiterated his desire for stricter gun control laws, putting Vice President Biden in charge of the reform effort.

DU senior Jesse Martin suffers career-threatening injury
Grand Forks, N.D. — Most members of the DU hockey team flew to Denver out of Fargo this morning, but a handful of them went to Minneapolis with senior center Jesse Martin.
Martin sustained three neck fractures in Saturday night's hockey game at North Dakota and was scheduled to have emergency surgery today in Minneapolis to relieve swelling of the spinal cord. He was taken off the ice Saturday in a stretcher midway through the second period after being checked by Fighting Sioux senior forward Brad Malone.
Malone, an Avalanche draft pick, crushed Martin parallel to the boards, as Martin was trying to skate the puck up ice, out of the defensive zone. He had his head down.
No penalty was immediately called, but while medical crews prepped Martin for the stretcher, officials gave Malone a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct.
According to Martin's father, Terry Martin, Jesse was knocked unconscious and didn't immediately have use of his extremities. En route to a Grand Forks hospital, he regained movement but was not sensitive to touching or pinching and was in extreme pain.
DU went on to win the game 3-0, scoring all three goals after Martin's injury.
I will try to update before and after my flight to Denver today.

Leonardo Ulloa's injury time goal carried Brighton into the play-off places on an afternoon of high drama at the City Ground.
The Argentinian striker netted with a neat header to seal a 2-1 victory and lift the Seagulls above Reading and into sixth place.
It was the second season running that another side had sneaked into the top six on the final day at the City Ground, with Leicester having done the same last year.
However, a Forest side that was hampered by having as many 16 players injured, suspended, ill or unavailable was unable to hold out against Oscar Garcia's team.
Forest had taken the lead in the 22nd minute through Matt Derbyshire, but saw Stephen Ward fire the visitors level, before Ulloa delighted the 2,000 travelling fans with his late, late strike.Brighton spurned the chance to make a flying start, with Ulloa firing wide when presented with a fine opening after only six minutes
The Argentinian striker had the goal at his mercy after sprinting clear, but rolled his shot agonisingly wide of the post, after Dorus de Vries had moved quickly to close the angle. It proved to be a decisive moment as Forest subsequently began to dominate, with Marcus Tudgay forcing a smart save from Tomasz Kuszczak.But the goalkeeper did not cover himself in glory as the Reds made their pressure tell, taking the lead through Derbyshire
The striker made firm enough contact with a diving header at the near post, after being picked out in impressive fashion by Dan Harding's left wing cross but Kuszczak made a hash of the save, allowing the ball to slip from his grasp and into the net.
It almost got worse for the visitors when Ben Osborn flashed a fizzing low shot narrowly the wrong side of the upright.Ulloa was to be denied again, this time by a tight looking offside call after he had forced the ball home from close range, while Gordon Greer fluffed his lines when he sent a near post header well wide when finding himself unmarked at a corner.
Brighton emerged with a fresh sense of urgency after the interval - and clawed themselves level in the 53rd minute. An opportunity seemed to have slipped from their grasp when Ulloa failed to make contact with a shot from close range, following a corner - but the ball rebounded kindly for Ward, who made no such mistake, driving a low shot through a melee of players and into the net.
Forest responded quickly, with Stephen McLaughlin almost firing a spectacular second for the home side. The midfielder could hardly have made a better connection with a 20-yard volley, which he sent arrowing towards the bottom corner - but Kuszczak was equal to it, plunging low to push the ball around the post.
While Tudgay went close as well, prodding a clever ball from Majewski into the side-netting, before the little Pole was then denied himself, by another save from Kuszczak, at his near post.
De Vries saved bravely at the feet of Buckley and LuaLua bent a shot close, then in the 90th minute the goalkeeper made a spectacular one-handed stop to deny Inigo Calderon. But there was still more drama to come, as substitute Craig Mackail-Smith whipped in a cross from the left and Ulloa dived to send a header across goal and inside the far post

text: Dating to 1588, this 52-card deck is based on one of the most significant works of Jost Amman, one of the more prolific artists of the German Renaissance. German printers experimented with a wide range of suit symbols, and this deck uses books, jars, printers' ink pads and cups. As was common in German cards, there are no jacks nor queens, but rather the German equivalents of an "unter" ("under" with the suit sign at the bottom of the card) and an "ober" ("over" with the suit sign at the top of the card) and kings on horseback. It also features a female figure for the 10 of each suit. A beautiful deck of playing cards, replica from a 16th-century German set. Printed in full color with historical accuracy in mind.

A Texas man convicted of killing a police informant was executed Tuesday evening after the Supreme Court refused to hear arguments that he was mentally handicapped and therefore should not qualify for the death penalty, The Associated Press reported.
Marvin Wilson, 54, was pronounced dead at 6:27 p.m., 14 minutes after his lethal injection began at the state prison in Huntsville.
Wilson's attorneys had challenged his execution as unconstitutional under the 2002 decision Atkins v. Virginia, which banned executing mentally retarded people but gave states some discretion in deciding who qualified for protection.
In their appeal to the high court, his attorneys pointed to a psychological test conducted in 2004 that pegged Wilson's IQ at 61, below the generally accepted minimum competency standard of 70. Federal law bans executions of mentally handicapped people as cruel and unusual punishment.
The defendant was convicted of murder for the November 1992 killing of a 21-year-old police drug informant, Jerry Robert Williams, and was sentenced to death in April 1994.
Lower courts agreed with state attorneys, who argued that Wilson's claim was based on a single test that may have been faulty and that his mental impairment claim isn't supported by other tests and assessments of him over the years.
The Supreme Court denied his request for a stay of execution less than two hours before his lethal injection began. Lead defense attorney Lee Kovarsky said he was "gravely disappointed and saddened" by the ruling, calling it "outrageous that the state of Texas continues to utilize unscientific guidelines ... to determine which citizens with intellectual disability are exempt from execution."
In Wilson's Supreme Court appeal, Kovarsky said Wilson's language and math skills "never progressed beyond an elementary school level," that he reads and writes below a second-grade level and that he was unable to manage his finances, pay bills or hold down a job.
Edward Marshall, a Texas assistant attorney general, said records show Wilson habitually gave less than full effort and "was manipulative and deceitful when it suited his interest," and that the state considered his ability to show personal independence and social responsibility in making its determinations.
"Considering Wilson's drug-dealing, street-gambler, criminal lifestyle since an early age, he was obviously competent at managing money, and not having a 9-to-5 job is no critical failure," Marshall said. "Wilson created schemes using a decoy to screen his thefts, hustled for jobs in the community, and orchestrated the execution of the snitch, demonstrating inventiveness, drive and leadership."
Wilson was the seventh person executed by lethal injection in Texas this year. At least nine other prisoners in the nation's most active death penalty state have execution dates in the coming months, including one later this month.

Silhouette is offering another one of their great promotions if you use this link and enter our code "Update" at checkout in their online store. This time around, in addition to the Cameo and Portrait machines, you can get great deals on their Sketch Pens.
My Portrait machine is still a new enough addition to my scrapbook room that I hadn't had a chance to try the pens yet until I got a chance to try them through this promotion. I'd been eyeing some sketch art in the Silhouette online store that I wanted to try though!
Supplies | Digital Sketching File: Silhouette (Airplane Sketch by Cali Arroyo). Other: Silhouette Sketch Pens (Metallic). Cardstock: Bazzill (Kraft). Stamp: Lawn Fawn (Blue Skies). Ink: Ranger Tim Holtz Distress (Black Soot).
As soon as I saw this airplane in the store awhile back I knew that I wanted to make a masculine card with it with some kraft paper! I used the copper pen from the Metallic Sketch Pen set. It made a tone on tone effect, but not quite, because the metallic has a glint to it. The graphic has an area of white space in the upper right corner that is a perfect spot for a sentiment. I grabbed a Lawn Fawn stamp that says "the sky's the limit" from their Blue Skies set, but you could also use something less themed like a simple "Happy Birthday".
Once I started playing with the sketch pens, one of the questions that I wanted answered was how well they showed up on colored paper. Here I made three cards for my Project Life album out of various papers, to see how the graphic would show up. The sketch pen is the yellow out of the starter kit.
Supplies | Digital Sketching File: Silhouette (sketched sun by snapdragon snippets). Other: Silhouette Sketch Pens (Starter). Cardstock: Bazzill Smooth (Coconut). Patterned Paper: Heidi Swapp "Serendipity" 6×6 paper pad (ledger paper), My Mind's Eye "My Girl" 6×6 paper pad (blue chevrons).
The pen shows up really bold on the white cardstock but you can really see the difference on the two patterned papers in how the pen shows up. It shows up very nicely but with somewhat muted color on the ledger paper, but on the darker, bolder chevron paper the yellow gets almost lost. This isn't a very bold or solid ink, so plan accordingly when using it. Overall, I would compare the sketch pens to a gel pen in ink consistency and weight.
I really see these pens as being useful for my Project Life album, to create quick and easy custom journal cards, especially ones with text elements on them. One of the kits that I have is the Midnight kit, so I created this card in black and yellow to coordinate with it.
Supplies | Digital Sketching File: Silhouette (Life is so Good phrase by Lori Whitlock). Other: Silhouette Sketch Pens (Glitter). Patterned Paper: Fancy Pants Designs (Park Bench 6×6 paper pad).
The glitter pens aren't glitter in the way you think of glitter being laid down by something like Stickles. When you look at the narrow black glitter colored lines straight on, it looks like flat black. It's only when you turn card in the light, as in the bottom picture, that you get the reflections off of the sparkles embedded in the ink.
You get more of the glitter effect if, instead of a think outline, you use a design that has fill, like the arrow below:
With a lot of the ink laid down together, the glitter effect shows up more. You get much more sparkle and shine from the design.
Supplies | Digital Sketching File: Silhouette (sketch arrows by Jennifer Wambach). Other: Silhouette Sketch Pens (Glitter). Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye (My Girl 6×6 paper pad).
The two cards above were created to match my daughter's Project Life kit, the "Blush" kit. Arrows are really popular design elements for Project Life, and with the Silhouette Sketch Pens, you can always have journal cards in just the right size, shape, direction and color for your albums!
The pink heart journaling card is a design by Lori Whitlock called "3×4 Lori Whitlock sketch life cards", executed on white cardstock with the pink pen from the sketch pen starter kit. Done in any number of colors, the design can coordinate beautifully with my daughter's Blush kit and I will never run out of pretty lined journaling cards for her this way!
I've just scratched the surface today…I look forward to using my sketch pens for a lot more projects!
So, lets talk about the promotion and giveaway! These are all great deals but especially on the Portrait (and you know I love my Portrait – I highly recommend that machine!)
This time around, the machine packages come with complete with a $25 gift card, a three package assortment of sketch pens, and the pen holder that lets you use other kinds of pens with the machine! This deal is impossible to beat anywhere else!
(1) CAMEO plus sketch pen starter pack, metallic and glitter collection packs, plus a $25 gift card and a penholder for $269.99 ($88.96 off the retail price)
(2) Portrait plus sketch pen starter pack, metallic and glitter collection packs, plus a $25 gift card and a penholder for $129.99 ($108.96 off the retail price)

Food Photography
Big Appetites: Miniature People Living in a World of Giant Food by Christopher Boffoli
The miniature people inhabiting the fine art photographs of Christopher Boffoli live in a world of enormous food. A place where towering ice cream cones are turned into camping tents, where a field of peppercorns becomes a soccer match, and a savage crawfish threatens a group of men. The photos are as absurd as they are delightful. Based in Seattle, Boffoli says his work comments not only on our fascination with miniature things, but on "the American enthusiasm for excess, especially in the realm of food." To view more of his photos you can simply scroll through his website, and to see them in person you can check out his Edible Worlds exhibition at Winston Wächter Fine Art in New York through August 24th.

The Summerville mining district was established in 1883 where a few small veins carrying gold, silver, copper, and lead occurred. Between 1900 to 1920 the mine site continued to have much activity but only limited lead, zinc, and silver production. In 1967 Summerville was abandoned, and its workers moved on. The town of Summerville was originally a tent town scattered over a wide area. There were very few stone buildings and one small stone store. There is no record of when the town first came into existence but by 1899 supposedly it had a population of more than 500 people.
Do not enter mine tunnels. They are unstable.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he's a "huge Clint Eastwood fan," even in the aftermath of the actor's rambling "invisible Obama" monologue at the GOP convention.
Obama says in an interview with USA Today released Sunday the Academy Award-winning Eastwood is "a great actor, and an even better director." But Obama was coy when asked if he was offended by the performance.
Eastwood talked with an imaginary Obama in an empty chair before Mitt Romney's speech at the GOP convention, saying the president has failed to deliver on his promises.
Obama says, quote, "if you're easily offended, you should probably choose another profession."
The president joked on Twitter after Eastwood's appearance, tweeting that "this seat's taken," along with a photo of him in his chair at a Cabinet meeting.

The WordPress iOS App
I was looking for an open source iOS application and quickly came across the WordPress app. Once you log in to your WordPress blog via the app your credentials are then stored on the device itself. If done correctly this is not necessarily a bad thing. However, the WordPress app's implementation leaves a bit to be desired. Take a look at the following snippet of code from WPcomLoginViewController.m and in Spot the Vuln fashion see if you can find the issue.
Update: The WordPress for iOS team has already committed a change for the next release to address the issue. Check out their comments below.
As you can see from the saveLoginData method above, (NSUserDefaults *)standardUserDefaults is used to store the username, password, and an authenticated flag after the user successfully signs on. To see this code in action simply logon to the app then go to Settings -> WordPress on the device to see your stored credentials as shown in the following screen shot.
The problem is that standardUserDefaults stores information in a plist file in plain text.
If you're using the iOS Simulator to run the WordPress app the org.wordpress.plist file is stored at ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/<APP_ID>/Library/Preferences where <APP_ID> is a randomly generated string.
If you're running the app on an actual iOS device and perform a backup (I did this with my iPad) the plist file is located
at ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/<DEVICE_ID> where <DEVICE_ID> is a random string.
The plist file will also have a random name but you can simply run grep wpcom_password_preference * to find the file that contains your password.
Figure 1: Screenshot showing the plaintext credentials stored in the plist file
Using the Keychain
Sensitive data like passwords and keys should be stored in the Keychain. Apple's Keychain Services Programming Guide states that a "keychain is an encrypted container that holds passwords for multiple applications and secure services. Keychains are secure storage containers, which means that when the keychain is locked, no one can access its protected contents". Moreover, in iOS, each application only has access to its own keychain items.
You interact with the Keychain by passing in a dictionary of key-value pairs that you want to find or create. Each key represents a search option or an attribute of the item in the keychain. For example, the following code shows how you can add a new item to the keychain.
The code first creates a NSMutableDictionary then simply sets the appropriate key-value pairs in the dictionary. We start by adding the kSecClass key with the value kSecClassGenericPassword which, as the name implies, means that we are adding a generic password to the keychain. The kSecAttrAccount key specifies the account whose password we're storing. In our case it would be for the "iostesting" username we saw above. The kSecValueData key specifies the password we want to store in the keychain. In our case the inputString variable would contain the password "princess123" that is in the screen shot above. Finally, calling the SecItemAdd function adds the data to the keychain.
Retrieving, updating, and deleting items from the keychain can be done using other functions [1]. To see how it works feel free to use this sample code that is based on work by Michael Mayo.
Protection Attributes
When you are adding or updating keychain items via the SecItemAdd or SecItemUpdate functions you should also specify the appropriate protection attribute. You may have noticed the kSecAttrAccessible key with the value kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked in the code above. This specifies that the keychain item can only be accessed while the device is unlocked. In total, there are six constants which were introduced in iOS 4.0 that you can use to specify when an item in the keychain should be readable.
|Data is...
|Only accessible when device is unlocked.
|Accessible while locked. But if the device is restarted it must first be unlocked for data to be accessible again.
|Always accessible.
|Only accessible when device is unlocked. Data is not migrated via backups.
|Accessible while locked. But if the device is restarted it must first be unlocked for data to be accessible again. Data is not migrated via backups.
|Always accessible. Data is not migrated via backups.
Never use kSecAttrAccessibleAlways. If you are storing user data in the keychain it's safe to assume that it should be protected.
In general, you should always use at least kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked to ensure that data is not accessible when the device is locked. If you have to access data while the device is locked use kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock.
The three ...ThisDeviceOnly attributes should only be used if you are sure that you never want to migrate data from one device to another.
Mobile development brings both familiar and new challenges for creating secure applications. The iOS platform provides a number of strong security features with the Keychain and protection attributes introduced in iOS 4.0. As usual, it is up to developers, development teams, and security professionals to make sure that user data is handled securely and appropriate APIs are used correctly.
Frank Kim is the curriculum lead for application security at the SANS Institute and the author of DEV541 Secure Coding in Java. If you liked this post check out SANS' new class on Secure iOS App Development.

Speaking with a non-mahram
I was just looking up some information on hanging out with non-maharams and I found this fatwa from islamqa.com.
It's a male asking what the conditions and limitations are to speaking with a non-maharam woman. The sheikh writing this response starts off by saying that women's voices are not awra in and of themselves, so it is not forbidden to hear them. It can be permissible to talk to them under certain circumstances. And then he starts:
The woman should speak without elongating the words, making her voice soft, or raising her voice.
OK... That's fine and all. Good advice for a woman, but this is a man asking. Later:
What is forbidden is being too soft in speech. It is obligatory for women to speak in an honourable manner, which means, as the mufassireen explained, that they should not make their voices soft when addressing men. In conclusion, what is required of the Muslim woman when she speaks to a non-mahram man is that she should adhere to what is mentioned in this aayah. She should refrain from what is forbidden and should fulfil her duties. She should speak only when necessary, and only about matters that are permissible and honourable, not evil.
Again, OK! But he is not a woman! What should he do or not do?
Between a woman and a non-mahram man there should be no intonation, gestures, chat, joking, flirting or playful talk, so that there will be no room for provocation of desires and doubts.
Good, this works both ways. But wait, next sentence:
Women are not prevented from talking to non-mahram men when it is necessary to do so, such as dealing directly with them when buying things or conducting any other financial transaction, because in such cases it is necessary for both parties to speak.
We're back to women again! The article does continue with one sentence that says that men may greet women, but that it must be free from anything that could provoke desire in their hearts. It ends:
If there is fear of fitnah being provoked by this greeting, then the woman should refrain from either initiating or returning the greeting, because warding off fitnah by neglecting the greeting is warding off mischief, and warding off mischief takes precedence over doing something useful. (See al-Mufassal fi Ahkaam al-Mar'ah by 'Abd al-Kareem Zaydaan, vol 3/276). And Allaah knows best.
Basically, from the male perspective, what he should have gotten from this that women have a lot of ways in which they can cause haram conversations to happen. It is the women's responsability to keep their voices steady and professional and to only talk when necessary. You can greet women in a situation that might cause fitnah and it will be her duty to not return your greeting.

Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler today again publicly reprimanded Sen. Pat Steadman, a Democrat, for holding up a bill Gessler says must be passed soon.
It's the second letter Gessler has sent Steadman about Senate Bill 135, which would create a statewide election nights reporting system. In a previous letter, Gessler complained that the bill, along with another one meant to ease business filings, had been languishing for more than a month in the Senate Appropriations Committee, of which Steadman is the chairman.
Now, Gessler says, Senate Bill 135 has been sitting on the committee's schedule 49 days.
"We are flat running out of time to successfully implement Senate Bill 135, which would establish real-time election night vote totals for Coloradans," Gessler said in a letter to Steadman today. "Without timely approval of SB-135, we will not be able to build and test the election night reporting system in time for the coming 2012 presidential election."

Should we eat red meat?
Seated at our table were well-dressed, well-educated people from the rich suburbs around Copenhagen. We had had one interesting scientific conversation after another and then I decided to drop the bomb: "There was a large study recently that showed eating red meat is associated with earlier death."
They all stared "What?" They seemed to think I must have meant it helped prevent death, but just had made a mistake in my Danish. Suggesting to a European that meat is unhealthy is practically illegal (though I am unaware of a specific law prohibiting it).
So what did this study show and is it valid? Thus study was in the March 23, 2009 Issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine and based on an extensive surveys of over half a million people in the US between 51 and 70 years old. There was then a follow up after 10 years to see how many of those people had died and what the cause of death was.
The results were as follows:
who ate the most red meat: 1.31 x as likely to die in the 10 years
who ate the most processed meat: 1.16 x as likely to die
who ate the most white meat: 0.92 x (or a little less) likely to die
who ate the most red meat: 1.36 x as likely to die in the 10 years
who ate the most processed meat: 1.25 x as likely to die
who ate the most white meat: 0.92 x (or a little less) likely to die
(white meat includes fish, chicken and turkey. All other meats fit into either red or processed.)
It wasn't just that people who ate more meat were fatter or less educated or ate more total calories (those and many other variables were controled for). I have spent a lot of time looking through the study and my only critiques are that men who ate the most red meat also had an increased risk of accidental death (perhaps men who eat the most red meat tend to have dangerous jobs?...) and that they did not control for income. So there may be other lifestyle factors or other foods one typically eats with red and processed meats that contributed to the results.
What did I gather from this? Well, we should eat less red and processed meats, but not just because we want our families to live long, healthy lives. But also because the raising of animals for meat and dairy products is stripping the earth of its resources. Production of any animal food requires far more resources than legumes, grains, fruits or vegetables. This contributes to the global food price increases as well as the energy, climate and water crises. Do you know that livestock are responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions (which is much more than all transportation emissions combined!)?
Where do I stand on SR's dad enjoying tenderloin on his birthday? The most important thing is our happiness, so enjoy red meat now and then! And I can't tell the wonderful woman who cares for The Lorax during the day to not give him meat. That is certainly not fair. But it is time for a global shift BACK to the rare amount of meat that we used to eat.
Pregnant moms, the "western diet" has been associated with premature birth. So my recommendation to you is to eat a mediterranean diet, but high in fish (which has been shown to prevent premature birth and improve brain function).
What do I eat? A pesco-near vegan diet (I eat dairy from time to time), with probably way to much chocolate, gum and diet soda (I've got my vices, too).
Sorry about the long post! Love to hear your thoughts.

Funny that you would post this. I just recently decided to go vegan and have loved it! I feel great, lighter, have lost a little bit of weight (didn't have much to lose), and just all around feel so much healthier. I agree with most everything you wrote though I don't know if the "eat more fish" part with the Med. diet was a typo. I have seen numerous studies say to limit fish while pregnant because of mercury.
I agree that it's almost a taboo subject to talk about (not eating meat or animal products) and so I don't talk about it unless asked. Try reading the China Study. The study shows links between consuming animal products and cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. It's a fascinating read.
If you personally don't want the Bois eating meat I don't see why it's unfair... especially if you gave your nanny a wide variety of other things to eat. My one year old daughter follows my way of eating (my husband does not) and I have told both our families that I want them to do the same for her when we visit.
You're brave for bringing it up. I know I never liked thinking about where the food on my plate came from (knowing full well the abuse and inhumane conditions most animals live in... I grew up in a dairy farming town) but having done research on the health aspects and seeing (and feeling!) the results I don't think I'll ever go back. I have been able to try so many new dishes, full of flavors I didn't know existed! I couldn't recommend it more highly.
Had you asked me a year ago if I would ever be vegan I would have laughed you to scorn. I loved milk, ice cream, cheese and sour cream. But I am vegan now and I'm very happy and feeling great.
Sorry for the novel.

That's so cool you feel so good being vegan.
It wasn't a typo about fish in pregnancy. Greater than 2 servings of fish a week while pregnant has been associated with decreased risk of premature birth and increased scores on cognitive testing. But women should avoid fish with high levels of mercury (e.g., shark, swordfish, king mackerel or tilefish). Some of the best fish to eat while pregnant are light tuna, salmon, pollock, catfish (these also are what the American Heart Association recommends).
The woman who cares for the Bois watches 5 other kids at the same time. Would seem unfair to make her cook something special for our precious. She's obviously got enough to deal with.

Hi, Have you read the China Study? That is quite an interesting read too so far as animal products and links to poor health...I went to a mediterranean diet quite a few years ago (I used to say vegetarian but I eat fish) and I feel much healthier for it. A vice I gave up last year was added sugar - and it is amazing how now I just cannot fathom eating anything sickly sweet like a donut!! That's got to be good too hey? Just started reading your blog last week (actually read almost all of it) and have to say thankyou for persisting with blogging while pregnant (despite some criticism). We are looking to try having kids soon and it is great to know there are people willing to push the "acceptable norms" and prove healthy, FIT pregnancies are possible without turning into a whale. :)

Cool, Cherelli! Thanks so much for your comment.
The China Study (which I had not heard of before you and Abbie mentioned it) seems to have found the same thing as the Arch of Int Med study I talked about (increased cancers and heart disease with meat consumption). The more studies with similar results, hopefully the sooner we see changes in the way the world views meat.

The accidental deaths associated with red meat come from: hunting accidents (though Dick Cheney shot someone going for white meat), butchering accidents (dull cleavers make bad gashes), grilling mistakes (gasoline is not starter fluid) and choking.
"The Blue Zones" has a nice description of the vegans of Loma Linda and of the Okinawans and their diet. The Okinawan diet is, along with vegan and mediterranean, the only ones I can endorse.
I rarely eat red meat, but when I do... well, there was the 75 foods on a stick at the State Fair, mostly deep-fried meats.

Okinawa... makes me think of centenarians and, of course, The Karate Kid. Two good reasons to check out the diet. Thanks, Steve.

I fell off the vegetarian wagon because it's hard to be a vegetarian with access to wild game, local yak and bison and all that good stuff. I will be interested to see whether my return to carnivory has any impact on my cholesterol levels.
I am apalled though by things like 20 oz steaks (most of which people end up wasting) and stuff like that. Environmentally and ethically people should really think harder about their consumption habits.

Interesting topic. This year as our New Year's resolution hubby and I gave up eating any meat from a CAFO. So, we have not gone vegan or veggie yet, but all of our meat (with limited cheater exceptions) is from more of what you would think of as old-school farms -- grass fed, free range, etc.
Doing this alone has cut down on our overall meat consumption, for cost and availability reasons (most restaurants don't serve this type of meat in the U.S.)
I'd be curious to see studies differentiating between the type of meat consumed, and by "type" I mean the way the animal was raised and what it ate. My understanding is that grass feed animals produce meat with a different chemistry, if you will (I'm sure that's not quite the right choice of words), that have a different long term affect on humans that consume such meat. Raising this type of animal/meat is also far less damaging to the environment, not to mention that it doesn't cause the antibiotic resistance problems of factory farms.

There's a new animated TV show, "The Goode Family" that's all vegan, including the dog! A lot of the humor is watching the dog salivate every time a squirrel (or cat, bird...) passes by.

I've been busy "racing"
I don't know if any of you are also doing the Amazing Digi Scrap Race but it's been fun and challenging. This week we had to design "Artist Trading Card" and I had no idea what they even were! After a few questions and looking at the gallery for examples, I ended up designing something in the size they ask for but more my style.
My friend and racing partner have a blog where we are showing off our work just for the race. take a look if you'd like.
I finished my racing challenges early this week so I'm trying to catch up on my challenges at Scrap Matters
I did two speed scraps today.. one at a new site - which I'll NEVER go back to again. Scrapping is suppose to be fun, not stressful that you didn't follow the evil speed hostess directions exactly.
here's what I made -

It's the 1st of the Month
Do you know what that means? IT'S BACK UP YOUR FILES DAY!
Spend some time back up your work, if you haven't since last month. You never know when your computer's hard drive will crash and you will lose all of your masterpieces.
You should have THREE redundant systems. I learned this after working with servers for 10 years! So your computer's hard drive.. an external hard drive.. and maybe burn some CDs... anyway you can do it, at least have a single BACK UP!
Last month I told you about http://mozy.com/ and I'm telling you again. It's only $4.95 a month. I don't get any special reward points or anything for telling you about this, I just thought it was very useful information!
Now go back up your files!
Here is another WONDERFUL thing I just learned about.. you can back up your bookmarks! Over the years I've lost so many good bookmarks from computer crash or getting a new computer and nobody moved them over for me.. so when I read that you can backup your bookmarks too I was thrilled.
Check out Delicious. You sign up for FREE and you can import all your current bookmarks. I did it last night so I still have to 'tag' them so they will be better organized but if my computer goes down, I'll still have that neat little Thank You note generator that I used when my son was born.

Egypt arrests top aide to Al-Qaeda chief Zawahri
Egyptian authorities have arrested a top aide to al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri in a Nile Delta city and are interrogating him in an undisclosed location, officials say.
Tharwat Salah Shehata was caught in an apartment in the 10th of Ramadan district of the city of Sharqiya on Monday, officials said.
They said he is held over accusations of forming militant groups in western Egypt and alleged involvement in a spat of killings of Coptic Christians in eastern city of Benghazi in Libya, and that he has been training militants in eastern Libya — a hub of extremist militia groups.
One of the groups, Ansar al-Shariah, has been blamed for the killing of the US Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi in 2012. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
According to Libyan security experts Shehata has been in Libya's eastern cities of Darna and Benghazi — where there has been a sharp rise in targeted killings of security officers, activists and clerics.
Shehata, a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad group that assassinated former President Anwar Sadat in 1981, was sentenced to death for an assassination attempt on a former prime minister in the 1990s.
After the failed attempt, website The Long War Journal said that Shehata had "pursued jihad around the globe" traveling to Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Iraq.
Then in 2001, his group merged with al-Qaeda under the banner of the so-called Global Islamic Front.
Since then, the United Nations has listed him as an al-Qaeda affiliate, saying he had worked together with Osama bin Laden. The UN said that Shehata was a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad's nine-member consultative council headed by al-Zawahri in charge of al-Qaeda organization work.
The arrest of Shehata comes as al-Zawahri's brother, Mohammed, has been jailed since the military ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July. Under Morsi, he mediated between extremist groups and the presidency to cease attacks against military and police in the volatile Sinai Peninsula.
On Sunday, he was referred to trial by the country's top prosecutor along with 67 others on charges of forming and leading a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda, and planning attacks.

Freshman Michael Raynis won the title-clinching bout for the Crimson Sunday (photo courtesy of IvyLeagueSports.com).
Ivy League Championship Video Highlights
Final Bout: Michael Raynis vs. Peter Cohen (Yale)
PRINCETON, N.J. – Typically it is veteran leadership that carries a team, but Sunday it was two Harvard underclassmen that came through for the Crimson. Trailing 13-12 in its final dual, the Harvard men's fencing team got two clutch wins from a sophomore and a freshman to top rival Yale, 14-13, and earned the right to be called Ivy League champion for the seventh time and first time since 2007.
The first big win came from sophomore Ben White in epee, who defeated Yale's Benjamin Mappin-Kasirer to even the match at 13-all. Then came a matchup that would decide the title: Harvard freshman Michael Raynis and Yale's Peter Cohen.
The final bout was even at four touches apiece with just 16 seconds left when Raynis scored on Cohen for the title-clinching win. Harvard's men's epee squad never lost during the two-day event, going 5-0 during the round-robin duals to lead the Crimson to a perfect 5-0 mark and the championship.
A total of six Harvard fencers earned all-league honors Sunday, including Raynis, who was named first team all-Ivy League in epee. Raynis went 12-3 over the weekend, second in the standings behind Yale's Cornelius Sanders who went 13-2. Sophomore Thomas Kolasa joined Raynis on the first team all-Ivy League list in the saber event, finishing 13-2 in the competition.
Freshman Eric Arzoian and junior co-captain Valentin Staller both earned second team honors in saber, and junior James Hawrot and sophomore Ben White were named second team all-Ivy League in epee.
The Crimson defeated Brown, 22-5, No. 8 Columbia, 18-9, and got the close, 14-13 win over Yale to wrap up the competition. Harvard will next compete in the Beanpot Wednesday in Waltham, Mass.
