In 2000, Political Research Associates published Defending Reproductive Rights, an activist resource kit on the anti-abortion movement, by collecting the Right's own words to demystify the motives and worldviews of those who campaign against progressive causes. We knew that an analysis of anti-abortion arguments would help progressive activists plan more effective campaigns. But we did not know how popular such a collection would be.
Nine years and thousands of kits later we have moved to an all-electronic format making our publication more accessible. Here you will find both the old edition and four completely new sections which explore how conservative organizers have further polarized the abortion debate since 2000 using a few successful arguments repeatedly. In all cases, they deny a woman's fundamental right to determine the course of her reproductive life based on their outdated, patronizing beliefs about her role in modern society. You will find sample documents from the Right that illustrate how they are currently making their claims. Like the 2000 kit, this edition also includes many pieces from progressive analysts, with an emphasis on defending the wide range of issues we have come to call Reproductive Justice.
The words of PRA Founder Jean V. Hardisty from our original kit continue to resonate today:
It is clear to us that the Right is singularly focused on women who seek to control their own bodies. Women who seek abortions, poor women who have children outside of marriage, Native American women living on reservations, Puerto Rican women living in rural areas, lesbians, women caught in the judicial system, all these women must be assured of a voice and the means to defend their rights and advance their interests.
We hope this Activist Resource Kit on Reproductive Rights is helpful to all those involved in the struggle to preserve and advance reproductive rights and freedom. The time for activism is now; the role of activism is nothing less than preserving women's basic human rights.

Dozens of people in Golden, Colo., came out Tuesday night to watch a historic home near the Colorado School of Mines be moved about a mile away. The school is building a new welcome center at the home's old site. KUSA-TV, Denver
GOLDEN, Colo. -- A historic brick house that sat near the Colorado School of Mines for more than 90 years moved almost a mile in four hours Tuesday, on its way to begin a new life as a wellness center.
The 935-square-foot house was moved overnight Tuesday from its original location at 1812 Illinois Street to 410 Ninth Street.
According to Golden's historic preservation board, the house built in 1923 by John Gray, who owned a service station on the corner next door, is an important piece of city history. But the college needed the land on Illinois Street for a new welcome center.
And so the house's journey began on March 26 when the city, hoping to preserve the house, announced that it would be given away to anyone who could move it to a new location.
Sam Kimbriel, of Easy Street Properties, acquired the dwelling. Moving it -- at a cost of at least $70,000, Kimbriel said -- was quite the process.
Streets along the house's travel route had to be temporarily closed and cleared of vehicles. Power lines were moved and even the weather had to cooperate.
The house was originally scheduled to be moved on July 29, but heavy rains and mud twice delayed the move. On Tuesday, the stars and the weather aligned and the move began around 10 p.m.
Dozens of Golden residents came out to watch the house roll by on wheels.
The house moved about three feet per minute and took about 3 1/2 hours to get from its old address to its new address. At times it stood still, as crews cleared the path of downed power lines and tree branches.
The house came within inches of hitting a building at one point, and almost hit a Chevy Blazer. About a half-dozen men literally picked up the several-thousand-pound SUV with their bare hands to move it out of the way.
The house itself lost a few bricks from its chimney said Bob Haxel, one of its new owners. He and Cindy Haxel plan to use the home for their business, the Golden Well Being Collective, which would offer customers massages, acupuncture and other services.
Before the move, the historic house was valued at $207,000, not counting the land, according to the Jefferson County Assessor's property records.

St. Patrick's Day helps Irish whiskey grow in popularity
The Columbus Dispatch - March 14, 2014 12:14 PM
Although spending on St. Patrick's Day is small in comparison with other consumer holidays, it's still a social event that is important for retailers – and, these days, for distillers of Irish whiskey.
The folks at the Distilled Spirits Council report that Irish whiskey is currently the fastest growing distilled spirit category in the United States. How fast? Sales have grown 485 percent since 2002.
Sure, the amount that the average person will spend on beverages, clothes and accessories for St. Patrick's Day is still relatively small -- $35, according to the National Retail Federation. But the folks most likely to spend that cash in restaurants and bars are young people ages 18 to 24, so it's safe to say that those party-hearty young people are helping drive those booming sales of Irish whiskey.
Why do folks like to sip the potent drink? In addition to the obvious tie-in to the Irish holiday, the Distilled Spirits Council says that new drinkers find most brands are "very smooth with a light flavor profile," because they are triple distilled. That lighter flavor also makes it easier to use in mixed drinks.
So, cheers – or Slainte, as the Irish say.

Fragments of my Feeble MindPosted Wednesday, April 25, 2012, at 6:13 AM
It was on the first day of the New Year, 2012, and I guess I must have been having an early case of spring fever, because there I was, standing in the middle of one of my flower beds, trying to decide whether I should clean out the mulched leaves or just leave them there to help enrich the soil. With all my weight on my right foot, I turned to step out of the flower bed, and the twist must have broken a bone in my hip. When that foot hit the ground, it would not hold my weight, and I came tumbling to the ground.
My 911 alert served me well, as I was soon loaded in an ambulance and carried off to the hospital in Cape Girardeau, where they used some metal bolts and screws to repair my broken bone. They kept me there for four days and then shipped me to the nursing home in Advance Missouri, where I was greeted by an array of individuals who were well organized in their efforts to make their clients feel safe and comfortable.
Since this institution was providing all of my needs, I had time to reminisce. I let my fickle mind carry me back through the many changes I had witnessed during the 97 years I had been rambling around in this old world of ours.
I heard the first feeble voices of radio and watched as it spread instant communication to all parts of the world and outer space. I witnessed the arrival of the miracle, television, and watched with awe its first pictures, which were just about like looking through a dirty window to the outside, where a group of children were playing in a snowstorm.
I watched the flickering pictures of the silent movies, where captions were flashed on the screen to outline the dialogue of the actors.
For communication beyond shouting distance, we were using the "party line" telephone, where any conversation with a neighbor was just about as confidential as the Indian sending up smoke signals.
With all these changes of the past, my fickle mind began to wonder; just what does the future hold for us?
The land line telephone and dial-up Internet is on the verge of becoming as obsolete as the dinner bell. This year our cars will consume more corn in the form of Ethanol than we will feed to our animals and poultry. The rumor is also going around that we will soon discontinue writing checks, as our banks move into the electronic field of service. This will, of course, shatter my hopes of ever receiving my long awaited check from Publishers Clearing House.
As we push our shopping cart down the aisles of our grocery store and load it from the vast supply of foods, it becomes difficult for us to believe that the world is hungry.
For the past ten years, the developing countries such as Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa have been growing rapidly, and as long as their income continues to rise there will be a demand for more and better food. This sounds good for the American farmer, but does he have the capacity to provide food for this large segment of the world?
Note from Madeline: Paul Corbin has developed carpel tunnel syndrome in his left hand. This medical condition will limit his ability to write new columns. However, I will continue to share his already published columns with the public.

So good to see a new blog from you, Mr. Corbin! I am SO thankful that your stay in the nursing home was purely temporary!
And, yes, I have it on good authority (your neighbor Wanda Jenkins) that you have been mowing your lawn since you came home from the nursing home!!
Tsk! Tsk!

Paul Corbin is a 100-year-old historian, humorist, and amateur archaeologist from Advance, Mo. He grew up in the Greenbrier area west of Advance, where he attended Stepp School on the banks of Cato Slough and the Castor River, important waterways throughout his life. In an age when many area residents did not go to high school, the young Corbin made the decision to walk the five miles to Zalma, graduating in 1933. Throughout his life, he was an enterprising businessman, selling Watkins products from house to house throughout a large area - and later opening a variety store in Advance. He and his wife Geneva traveled throughout the United States, even following the route that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled. His knowledge of Native American culture is extensive, and he has donated a sizeable collection of his artifacts to the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center and the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill. Throughout the years, he has submitted articles to TBY, the North Stoddard Countian, the Ozark Mountaineer, and several other Missouri publications. He has also written two books - "Reflections in Missouri Mud," and "Fragments of my Feeble Mind." The first one is out of print.

About the Author: Graham Lampa is a Presidential Management Fellow currently on rotation with International Security and Nonproliferation, Office of WMD Terrorism.
In his Prague speech calling for renewed international action to rid the world of nuclear weapons, President Obama singled out nuclear terrorism as "the most immediate and extreme threat to global security." To address the threat of terrorists acquiring nuclear weapons, the President called for nations to come together to turn the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism into a "durable international institution." At this year's plenary meeting in The Hague, Netherlands held June 16-17, the partner nations of the Global Initiative came together to move toward that goal.
At the plenary meeting, the U.S. and Russian Co-Chairs announced new participants in the Global Initiative: INTERPOL as an observer organization and Belarus as the 76th partner nation.
The Global Initiative 2009 Plenary's Dutch hosts introduced a new element that promises to improve the organization and build on its focus on capacity-building. After the first day of high-level diplomatic discussions in the large plenary room at the World Forum, subject matter experts from the partner nations rolled up their sleeves and joined together in working groups to share their experiences and develop best practices in the areas of equipment and technology, exercises, public-private partnerships, and Web-based collaboration.
The United States sent 27 delegates to the plenary meeting; in addition to representatives from the Department of State, experts from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice as well as other agencies also participated. Acting Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation Dr. Eliot Kang led the U.S. team as head of delegation.
Once ideological rivals who threatened mutually assured destruction, the United States and Russia now work together as co-chairs of the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism. Begun in 2006, the Global Initiative is a partnership that is building capacity in each of its partner nations to better equip national, regional, and local officials with the knowledge and expertise needed to prevent nuclear weapons and related technologies from falling into the hands of terrorists and to lock down sensitive nuclear materials inside their borders.
The Global Initiative is neither a treaty nor a traditional international organization. Rather, it is a global partnership based on a Statement of Principles endorsed by each partner nation and observer organization.
As the Global Initiative continues to develop into the "durable international institution" called for by President Obama, its co-chairs and partner nations will retain their focus on the mission that brought them all together: to prevent the possibility of an act of nuclear terrorism.
Susan in Florida writes:
It would seem to be common sense, and in all nations interest, to support these initiatives. However, since it is "neither a treaty nor a traditional international organization", how will each country be held accountable? It is my observation that Russia is still very concerned with world domination. Do we really believe that Russia would care if a "dirty bomb" was used against us? I do not believe that Russia is to be trusted. Russian history certainly confirms this.
Rose writes:
This is wonderful I congratualge President Obama and Secretary Holary Clinton! This is my Global Peace and Reform Program and the immediate solution for the Iran Threat of Nuclear Terrorism "global partnership based on a Statement of Principles endorsed by each partner nation and observer organization." So why am I not invited to participate nor given the credit to my lifelong passion?
SNP in Syria writes:
@Susan in FL--
How can you observe that Russia is still interested in world domination. Lets see, they have no military bases other than tiny ship re-fulling post on Syria Mediterranean coast, the United States on the other hand has over 100 fully armed and functioning military bases all over the world. Russia is not engaging in any wars, the U.S. is waging wars and threatening others half the planet away, occupying countries all over the Middle East, Asia, Europe and now going to south and Central America - except Honduras deposed elected leader and very popular Chavez are in the plan way for the moment - Russian Rubles are hardly tradable outside Russia, but the United States is fighting to insure that Fed reserve Dollar is the only currency used for reserves by all countries. The U.S. military spending is several fold that of Russia and other countries combined. Russia never ever set up a sanction regime that can name sanctioned persons all over the world like the U.S. Treasury does. And we can go on and on... but this should suffice.
The Dirty bomb scare is a laughing joke, a hilarious and a silly one because all those made up threats are imaginary, Alqaida or something similar to it is the product of Mossad and CIA. You are clueless, just like the rest. The ultimate purpose is to bring chaos and control the world. It will fail in the end and leave clueless people with utter perplexity, just as the Book of Revelation spoke. It said, in the latter days, the Lord of Heaven will be so angered by people stupidity and ignorance when they have so much at their disposable of knowledge, that he will add to their anguish and leaves them perplexed and deceived even more as punishment.
Ron in New York writes:
Focus on the Loose-Nukes.....
OK....let's focus on loose-nukes and dual-use commodities.
These are the greatest threats in nuclear-terrorism.
Let's focus on the links between Transnational Organized Crime, corrupt or rogue regimes, and AQI-like groups.
Let's get real about the proliferation of nuclear materials and the lack of security and controls....For details, see: UNODC Crime Congresses 10 and 11.
Susan in Florida writes:
@SNP in Syria--
Interesting that the one Russian "re-filling" post is on the Syrian Mediterranean coast. Please, continue to believe that Russia wants world peace. I guess that their conflict with Georgia does not constitute a "war". Time will tell who is clueless.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Expansion in the size and expense of our government, not nuclear attack, is the primary threat to freedom of their citizens and our own. What happened in Burma can happen here if we continue to ignore constitutional limits to federal power and authority.
Today, even our courts and subordinate federal agencies have begun claiming jurisdiction over events occurring abroad, evidenced in the kidnapping and trial of the president of Panama, the CIA kidnappings in Italy, and others around the world, and the installation of military bases, FBI, IRS, and other agency offices in other countries around the world while we deny being an empire.
As for the unsupported claim that Russia remains interested in expanding toward world domination, it may be a goal in the economic realm but certainly not in the political realm, and not as we have done.
Even a casual observer of Russia can see that Russian leaders are busy trying to govern their own bureaucracy in a respectable way, and they have little time for the same daydreams of conquering the world that some members of the CFR have.
It is well known abroad that our State Department lied about who started the fight with Russia in Georgia but now most Americans believe Russia caused the problem because our State Department said so. It was Georgia that first attacked Russian peacekeeping forces, as President Saakashvili eventually admitted. Russia didn't need or want that war. We will never admit we lied, of course.
Evidence of that is that Russia did not occupy the capitol and remove the government, and it could have done that had it been interested in doing so. It is not Russia that causes chaos around the world today.
It is silly to accuse Russia of desiring global military domination in the same way the U.S. has done. Their respective military budgets are not even close to ours and their foreign military bases are dwarfed by the sheer numbers of our own foreign military bases.
It is America that has a African Command (AFRICOM) among other "commands" over various sectors of the planet earth. What is our military interested in accomplishing in Africa? Are other peoples' natural resources now an "American interest"?
Perhaps someone would like to tell the taxpayers why we need an "African Command", an "Asian Command", and exactly whom will we expect to be commanding, the citizens of China and Africa or our soldiers occupying our military bases in their nations?
Ethnocentrism is an interesting word with which we should be very familiar, along with another word, hypocrisy, as they are possibly the most descriptive of our world view.
We accuse Russia of doing what we do, we blame others for wars for which we supply arms and training, and we deny the accusation of empire while we count our military bases in the hundreds across the world. Imperial Rome had less military presence that we do today.
Clearly it is not SNP in Syria who is clueless on these matters, it is us who "don't get it". We can't see ourselves as clearly as people in other nations see us. We accept the media justifications for what we do and miss entirely the covert goals of those in power. There are two sides to every story and we are only told one of them.
We have become afraid to question our own government about what it is doing and why. Our government officials have to script questions and answers for others to ask, so the truth does not leak out. Leaks are bad, we are told.
We can't have the truth leak out to the public as a matter of national security yet our leaders give foreign leaders secret briefings long before our own citizens learn the truth, if we ever do.
There should be thousands of hard questions posted on this blog, but we see few or none. We fear to ask questions about ourselves and what we have become. An unscripted question is a threat - an enemy to be attacked and destroyed. Even journalists, such as Helen Thomas, have begun to notice. News must be controlled and managed so that the cloak of deception is not lifted.
Americans are afraid of where this country is headed because they know they have lost control of their land, their laws, and their leaders.
As SNP of Syria suggests, foreigners hate us for our official lies, hypocrisy, and arrogance, and not for our founder's ideas of protecting citizen's liberty and property from government.
Susan in Florida writes:
A last comment on this. I am neither clueless nor naive about the role the U.S. has played in the world since WWII, or even before that. We have used nation building and the spread of democracy as an excuse to interfere in other countries governments, which I have never agreed with. Did I believe that Iraq was about freedom for the Iraqi people? No. I always believed it was about oil and positioning ourselves in the Middle East, even deeper than our relationship with the Saudis. I do get it, as do many other Americans. And, yes, MANY Americans are afraid of where this country is headed. I hear it from neighbors and friends everyday. So SNP and Zharkov, you are not the only ones who are "getting" it. Why are more questions not being asked? I don't know. Americans are a patient people but don't be fooled, they are not as "dumb" as you may think. Right now they are still hoping that it is not too late for our country to go in a different direction. I am one of them. However, I still think it is naive to believe that Russia or China are our "friends". I appreciate your thought provoking comments. We need more of them.

I think we should "interfere" to the max when dealing with ethical infants. On a lot of levels, when we don't, the world suffers. Someone has to change their diapers.
Don't tell me you still believe we should hide behind our oceans and not give a hoot what happens to the rest of the world.

Your facility is the cleanest storage operation I have ever seen.Ira from Bethpage, NY
Mike was amazing to work with and did everything he could to assure my needs were met. Even though he is a one man show, he had everything under control and well organized. Mike was a complete pleasure to work with, thank you!Heather from Waldwick, NJ
You have absolutely fulfilled all my expectations. Your staff is knowledeable, courteous and attentive to any questions or concerns I ever have. I am happy I chose Uncle Bob's instead of Uhaul. The units are clean and the floors and the whole building is maintained quite efficiently.Bonnie from Lodi, NJ
The staff was cordial and even showed me the two units I thinking about, so I could actually see the difference in sizes. There was never any pressure and they were patient and pleasant to work with.Sharon from Newark, NJ
Service rep was very helpful. She was very knowledgible and patient while we review and discuss how much space i would need for my belongings.Denesha from Englewood, NJ
The process was smooth and stress free, we greatly enjoyed working with the staff.from Tenafly, NJ
We are extremely impressed all around and already have recommended 2 other friends who have opened up storage spaces with you and are also very happy.Neal from East Norwich, NY
Ive used a storage unit before and they were misleading and not clear about storage rules and regulations. My experience at bobs was top notch. I mostly dealt with shamus who was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. If i ever needed to use a storage unit again, it would be bobs.Cleopatra from Highland Falls, NY
Absolutely loved it for the time I had the unit. Will DEFINITELY come back if I ever need one again.Erick from Caldwell, NJ
Uncle Bob's staff, especially Angie, the Manager, makes me feel like family. I fully trust her with my possessions. I live 3ooo miles away and I never have a worry. I enjoy doing business at Uncle Bob's Self Storage.Amber from Las Vegas, NV

Topic: Apache, Webrick and Mongrel
When using linux i just run MySQL as daemon, then, i run manually Webrick to test my web applications. But when i'm in Windows, i'm using the InstantRails package and i also run manually Webrick.. and i'm wondering why InstantRails is running apache (is that only to make possible the use of phpMyadmin ?!) ?
I have a second question, when i want to configure my own server.. what i need to make a rails production environment?
thank you..

"Vintage" Christmas Tree Wallhanging
Here is a close up of the Traditional Red and Green one that I made. I chose to quilt mine and use buttons. I also put a binding on it. {binding on a Christmas tree shape = grrrrr.} ;o) Here's the tree. Isn't he cute? And although I'm mainly a Red and Green girl at Christmas time. I love all the pastel-y colors that are popping up everywhere for Christmas. I do put a tree in my room during the Holidays and it's decorated in pastel blues and white's. I think I'll add this tree to my Holiday Bedroom decor. This tree I did the same way my Mom did. Sewing the backing to the front, adding a piece of batting, right sides together and turning right sides out. {much more simpler than binding} Wouldn't this be cute in a baby's room for Christmas. Here is a quick tutorial on how I made my tree. It's not an exact science. No pattern or nothin. So feel free to adjust it when/where needed.
I used a 30 piece 3.5" square fabric pack from my Etsy store to make em. The tree finishes approx. as a 18" triangle. (18" from point to point, not including the trunk)
Use the photo as a reference;
1. Sew 2 squares together and press
2. Sew 4 squares together and press
3. Sew 6 squares together and press
4. Then another 6 squares, 5 squares, 3 and 1
After each row is sewn together, sew rows together in order and press. Using a quilt ruler, cut a straight edge along the bottom. {see photo} Now using the 60' mark on your ruler or cutting mat, cut one side of the tree. {see photo below} Do the same to the other side. [there will be a little bit more waste on the other side].{see photo below} Tah Dah! {remember this is not an exact science. I did this tutorial very quickly. If you have an easier, different, faster, whatever... way. Then go for it!} I then added a 4 - 4 1/2" square trunk to the center bottom. (use a fabric from your stash or scrap bin).
Use the tree as your pattern and cut a piece of batting and backing the same size/shape as the tree. Place right sides of backing and tree top together, with batting on top. Sew, leaving most of the bottom of the trunk open for turning. Turn. Press. Hand stitch opening closed. Here is another traditional red and green tree. I didn't "decorate". I like this look too. I hope if you make this, you'll share photos of your tree with me! Always love to see your projects. Any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to ya! Happy Sewing and have a Pleasant Day!

What a sweet tree! I love the pastels with the pearls -- very romantic-style. The red/green ones remind me of the fabrics from when I was growing up in the 70's. I'm sure my mom still has some of those prints! Thanks for the tutorial!

Very cute Jodi! I have some of those fabrics in my stash! I almost fell over a few years ago when I read a young blogger that was soooo excited -- she'd found one of those "VINTAGE" prints at a thrift store. Eeeek -- I remember when it was new!

What sweet Christmas Trees they would be cute to hang on the front door. A wreath seems to be to fat to go between my door and the storm door. So I try to find flat things to put on the door.

I just discovered your blog and I love it. I found some fabric in a box in our shed this past week that had been put away from years ago. It was some of the same Christmas patterns you have in your tree. Looks like I'm going to have to get to work. You've inspired me.

I'm a new quilter too, and I have a sort of stupid question...what do you do for the hanger? Is it just a loop at the top of the tree?

- judygold said...
Thanks so much for the idea. I made one for my friend, who was sad because she didn't have a Christmas tree. I just mailed it off to her, complete with a set of little ornaments to hang from the buttons. I would love to send you a photo, but can't figure out how to attach a photo to this comment.

Re: What editors do you use for Rails development?
Wow I didn't know. What's the reasoning behind this?
There are some interesting discussions on this subject at the PPR wiki which might answer some things. You may want to create a new thread on this if you want to discuss it in a Rails context - it's an interesting idea to ponder, but I don't see UML improving the development process of Rails.

Obamacare Website: Slow, Buggy and Waiting to be Hacked
By Hal M. Bundrick
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) While attempting to complete an application for health insurance on Healthcare.gov for his granddaughter, Ben Simo, a Gilbert, Ariz. software tester, encountered not only a sluggish, glitchy site with account creation issues, but a number of security concerns, as well.
"I identified a series of steps that could be easily automated to collect usernames, password reset codes, security questions, and email addresses from the system -- without any kind of authentication," Simo posted on his blog.
Simo reported the issues to Healthcare.gov's customer service and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) patched "the most serious hole" the same day.
"While I am appalled that the issue existed in the first place, I applaud the quick response," Simo wrote.
The issues with the website have been so persistent from the outset that Consumer Reports warned users in mid October to "Stay away from Healthcare.gov for at least another month if you can. Hopefully that will be long enough for its software vendors to clean up the mess they've made."
While some of the initial security concerns reported by Ben Simo have been corrected, he still worries about other data risks lurking on the site.
"Both Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Andy Slavitt, an executive VP at QSSI, the company tasked with fixing Healthcare.gov, have downplayed security concerns," Simo writes. "They have suggested that personal information is not at risk because The Hub, the Healthcare.gov front end, does not store information; but rather, transports information. A system is only as secure as its weakest link.
If front-end security is poor, then no amount of back-end security can protect information passing through the front end."
Simo says that even if the site doesn't store information, it does return the personal data to the user's browser. He says that information can include a user's name, address, date of birth, phone number, and Social Security number.
"It doesn't take a security expert or 'super hacker' to exploit these vulnerabilities," Simo writes. "This is basic web security. Most of these are the kinds of issues that competent web developers try to avoid; and in the rare case that they are created, are usually found by competent testers."
The site experienced a 90-minute outage Monday afternoon. Healthcare.gov will also be taken down for maintenance each evening from 1 to 5 a.m.
Now that a couple of weeks have passed since Simo's first discovery of the security gaps, and with some immediate response from the government, does he feel the matter is mostly resolved?
"It concerns me that these issues existed in the first place, and I'm now even more concerned that they still exist," Simo told MainStreet via email. "I'm not yet convinced they are giving security sufficient attention. I suggest consumers give them some more time to get their security act together."

Writing good bug reports isn't easy... they need to be written when something didn't work and typically are something people are just trying to getting done, before moving on to something else.
However, as in all open-source projects, good bug reports can save a lot of time in the long run. It prevents the same issues from getting raised multiple times and the better the bug description the less time is spent on non-bugfixing work.
Here are some guidelines on how to write good bug reports, based on the years of Open Source experience from the Membase team:
- Search for the bug before filing a new one.
If you've run into a bug, there is a good possibility that someone else has as well. In fact, there may even be a workaround. Search for your issue first and possibly add to the comments to an existing issue if there is new data.
- Use a good summary for the bug report.
The search result page will list the summary for the matching bugs, and by using a good description of the bug report the reader may easily filter out the bug report without having to look at it.
- Include as much information as you can about the bug.
The more information you provide about the bug, the easier it is for the person who is going to fix the bug. You should try to explain what you did, what you experienced and what you expected (unless that is obvious). By explaining all this, people may be able to answer your bug without having to download and analyze the logs / stats. This will also help people searching our bug database to figure out if this is the same bug they are seeing.
- Try to write in a search-friendly matter.
If you're seeing an error message, please write it exactly as it is printed (use copy'n'paste), and don't write approximately the same.. In addition to this please paste part of the error messages you're seeing in the logs in the description field even if you're attaching the zip-file. (the search functionality don't search the zip files...)
- Stay professional.
Don't let your mood affect what you write in the bug report. You may think something is a "pain in the ass to use"; that someone must have been drunk while designing this; or should have done stuff differently, but writing it in the bug report doesn't fix the bug. Nor does it help us in fixing the bug. Use a professional neutral tone and keep your focus to the facts.

4th August 2009, Hyderabad
Magadheera is all set to collect a recording breaking share of 60 crores in the total run, as per the trade reports pouring in from all the centers. As per the sources of idlebrain.com, Pokiri was the film that created industry record in the past and it is said to have collected over 46 crores in the total run.
Magadheera film was released with unanimous sensational hit talk on the day one and despite of being the biggest release with maximum number of prints in maximum number of screens, it is going housefuls all over the state even on the fifth day. And the trade experts are seeing no drop on revenues in the coming weeks as the movie lovers are waiting for a grand extravaganza after Sankranthi hit Arundhati. And Magadheera is proving to be the movie which Telugu film lovers have been asking for all this while.
Ram Charan Teja took off from where Chiranjeevi left the film industry. And the frenzy and craze for Magadheera movie is double that of Chiranjeevi's Indra and Tagore in the recent past. Magadheera is being embraced by every movie lover without any (a, b, c, d or multiplex) center bias.
Rajamouli has become Telugu's Shankar. Shankar's movies create superb openings as he is known for churning out blockbusters one after another with strong technical values. Rajamouli too is proving to be a man with terrific script sense and ability to adapt Hollywood techniques to mesmerise the crowds of Andhra Pradesh.
For example, in a territory like Guntur Pokiri collected a share of 1 crore in 15 days (which was an unbeatable record at that time). Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa collected a share of 1.16 crores in 1 week and Magadheera amassed a share of 1.16 crores in 3 days.
In a place like Kadapa, Arundhati holds the record for collecting the highest share. And Magadheera movie is going to cross that entire share in the first week itself.
Magadheera was released in 14 screens of Vijayawada city. It created another record in INOX multiplex by playing all five shows in all three screens on day one by collecting record breaking houseful revenues.
Magadheera was released with 101 prints in Nizam and collected a share of 4.5 crores in four days. On the day one itself, it collected 2 crores. Magadheera will collect a share of 7 crores in Nizam in first week itself.
Magadheera is expected to collect around 18 crores of share in the first week itself.
Grand successes of films like Arundhati and Magadheera will inspire Telugu filmmakers to come forward and spend more money on grandeur and quality of filmmaking to dish out rich movies to film lovers.

that old chesnut!
so it has been proposed that we put better blinds on the gallery doors. this has come up because we have a resident artist this month and they want to be able to leave things in gallery while they go to loo/ get food without things being tampered with. maybe too late this month but for future artists.
will has offered for his £50 budget to go towards this and chris has said the forest could give another £30.
options are to get blinds made of plastic that will be longer and could be locked at the bottom. they would be bulkier at the top, hopefully would not make door height too low. nix looking into these and the cost.
get shutters made that would fold at sides but prob come into gallery space slightly . made out of ply, about £50. can get padlocks put on them.
get doors made like on the old hats book shelves . would be totally movable and not intrude on space but where to store them? something else for kitchen vols to do in the morning,
please could people say what they think asap so decision made. if we want them then maybe something could be done for this show.
my personal feeling is that this is not something we should be spending money on at the moment and the blinds we have a the moment seem to be working well. but i understand the difficulty for artists working in the space .

Someone snuck into a Fort Lauderdale towing company's parking lot in the dead of night. Someone believed they could be reckless, and that they were above the law when they stole two tow trucks. Someone believed that they would never get caught. What these someone's didn't understand was that GPS tracking could and would put an end to their hair-brained schemes.
Fort Lauderdale police arrested two men on Saturday for the theft of the tow trucks. Both were equipped with GPS tracking devices, which had been used to track all movement of the tow trucks during the time they were stolen. A number of stolen items, including car rims, were found in the suspects collection of goods. Police did not immediately identify the men.
Jason Parrett, owner of the Fort Lauderdale repossession truck company First Response Towing and Recovery, said the GPS tracking units were crucial in finding the missing wreckers.
"Without it we wouldn't have found the trucks," said Parrett, who has all three trucks in his fleet hooked up with GPS technology.
Parrett said that he was alerted by an employee early Saturday that the trucks were missing and reacted to the situation by pulling up their locations on his wife's BlackBerry, which is linked to their GPS units to give the company maximum oversight.
After GPS maps showed Ford F-450's in Oakland Park and the Lauderdale Manors section of the city, Parrett's drivers were able to find one F-450 abandoned in Oakland Park. When the other was located on Northwest 13th Avenue, the driver observed a man taking the wrecker. The truck was followed by the driver and eventually abandoned when the culprit realized he was being followed.
The GPS system's activity report was so efficient that it basically did all the police's work for them, showing where the trucks had been, places where they had been parked for extended periods and how fast they had been driven.This information was used to arrest the culprits on the 1700 block of Northwest 13th Avenue, a location listed in the report.
"The detailed activity reports in these are disgustingly accurate," Parrett said of the system, which cost him $300 to install and $20 a month for airtime for each of his three trucks.

Dam's role in water supply to be studied
Engineers will again be taking a look at the Hydroelectric Dam that spans the Des Moines River in Fort Dodge.
This time, they'll be considering what, if anything, needs to be done to it if the city eventually has to draw water from the river.
City Council members indicated during a Monday evening workshop discussion that they would be willing to expand a current contract with McClure Engineering Co., of Fort Dodge, to have that firm do the needed work. The company would be paid $17,800. Formal action on the matter is expected to occur during the Feb. 11 council meeting.
The study will take about nine weeks to complete.
"We have to know what is the best course of action," City Manager David Fierke told the council.
He said the council will be faced with a "pretty big decision" after the results of the engineering study are received. He added that any work on the dam will be very expensive.
The city's water supply now comes from wells. But future growth at the North Central Ag Industrial Park and in the city itself may make the water supply from wells insufficient.
When the Ag Industrial Park is developed to its fullest extent, the city will need 30 million gallons of water a day, according to Michael Washburn, an engineer with McClure Engineering Co.
The city now uses an average of 3 million gallons a day, Washburn said.
He said the Cargill plant in the Ag Industrial Park is expected to use 3 million gallons per day, while the CJ Bio America plant will use 2.5 million gallons per day.
Fierke said the planned engineering study will estimate how much water may have to be taken from the river every day and provide recommendations on the most economical ways to get that water. He added that it will be at least a decade before the city has to take water from the river.

11 Greenest Cars of 2013
With new mileage restrictions coming just a few years down the road, more than two dozen vehicles in the U.S. are achieving more than 40 miles per gallon in combined mileage. Costly trips to the pump are about to get less frequent just as reaching for the plug becomes more commonplace.
The folks at Kelley Blue Book still have a fondness for calling such gas-sipping vehicles "green" and came up with 10 such cars that hit the roads at 40 mpg or better in the city and on highways. While General Motors

In a quick break from our typical hacks and mods, learn to create a simple macro (close up) photography setup allowing you to create some fantastic, professional shots (see some samples below). Â I'm an avid photography fan, and besides nature photography, I am most fascinated by marco photography. To take good macro shots however you'd typically thousands of dollars worth of hardware but we can come up with some nifty hacks to save a couple of (hundred) bucks.
More close up electronics "art" can be seen in our beam robots and circuitry art posts.
A mid-range amateur camera is actually capable of extremely good macro shots (I use a Sony DSC-H9), the problem is usually with lighting and environmental factors, especially if you want to create those clean "product shot" type images. What we need to do is create a closed environment with controlled but relatively bright light. Have a good light source already, you can build it almost for free.
To create our macro environment, we'll be using a cardboard box, cutting out its sides, sticking some tracing paper or "rice" paper in the holes, and that's actually about it. I started out with a 14x14x18 cardboard box. I chose these dimensions because mainly this was the box I had at home, but also because while my subjects aren't that big, I like to have room to play around with the objects themselves, and some shadow-casting.
You may also enjoy:
Once you have your box, whip out a knife or a razor, and start cutting. First of all, lay the box in its side, and cut off one side almost completely, leaving about 2 inches on each side (see bootom of box in the image). On all other sides we will be cutting windows, leaving 2 inches on each side, but we are removing this side completely. The purpose of this, is to enable you to put your macro box over your subject, rather than putting your subject in.
Once you've removed the side, you can start to cut the windows on the other sides. Remember not to remove the whole sides, just cut a rectangle out of each. I left 2 inches all round, but if you have a very sturdy box you can go with less. If you want, you keep the flaps which were at the top of the box (these are now on the side). They can be used for light control, but I'm not such a professional, they just got in my way, so I heartlessly cut them off.
All that is left to do is to stick some tracing paper over the windows. I used some black masking tape to finish the job as you can see on the pic, however, I only stuck it along the top for each window. I used pins to hold the other end in place initially. My idea was to paint shapes on the paper and experiment with lighting like that. In the end some interesting stuff came out of it all, but finally I taped it all around and kept it white.
The last piece of the puzzle is the one thing you might have to pay for, a light source. Apparently you can use a bright light, but I never got exactly the results I wanted. It was still pretty good, but you really should get a better light source. You can buy some appropriate lights for around $20 – $30 on ebay, the best would actually be a manual flash. I am actually in the processes of trying to find a good light source, and I really want two, coming from both sides.
If you're into photography and have some ideas to make this better, please let us know.  Subscribe to stay updated with future posts.

I have that Sony camera. It's great for macro! The box and light sound good. I'll have to investigate.

Ash's father
14,384pages onAdd New Page

Ash's father is the unnamed father of Ash Ketchum from the Pokémon Anime series and husband to Delia Ketchum.
From very minor portions of dialogue, it can be assumed that his father started on a journey from Pallet Town much like Ash. Never formally introduced, the identity of his father has always been under heavy speculation. These speculated characters however, have attained no hard evidence that they are in fact related to Ash in any way. In addition to that, during an interview with a storyboard artist for the Anime series, the artist stated that Ash's father is a man who is on his own Pokémon journey as a Trainer's.
- In The Spell of the Unown's commentary, the producers announced that more about him will be revealed in season 5, which eventually turned out to be untrue.

British Government Defies US Extradition Treaty
The English Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has decided, courtesy of the Governmental Secretary of State, to defy the demands of the Federal Republic of the United States of America regarding the Extradition Packt of 2003.
The Extradition Packt of 2003 was signed between the Labour Government of Prime Minister Tony Blair, and the Republican Government of George Bush specifically in the fall out of the US War on Terror. The idea was to make extradition of terrorist suspects between Westminster and Washington far more easy.
Unfortunately this Treaty was heavily lopsided towards granting the President of the United States of America full access to anyone they deemed a terrorist threat located outside their physical soverignty, whether they committed a crime or were just suspected, and including those who never physically visited the United States when carrying out, or being suspected of, terrorist activites towards her. The definition of the word Terrorist is so liberal its been abused by the United States to gain access to anyone they wish by simply labling them "terrorist" and claiming any crime against America is Terrorist activity.
The Blair Government eventually fell for being seen as a mere extention of the United States. Many in England considered Tony Blair to be subservient to George Bush akin to a State Guvenor of some type. The war against Iraq was most unpopular, and both Blair and Bush were accused of lying in order to get conditions for the war passed through legislation. There were calls in England for Tony Blair to be tried as a war criminal in the United Nations.
Whilst the following Labour Government cooled the burning desire to appease the Washington based Congress, and all members of the authorities of the time were releaved of their office, the treaty remained intact, and was largely forgotten by the British Government following the wall street wobble, a double dip recession and the Euro Currency crisis of the European Union.
One case, that of Aspergers Syndrome Sufferer, Gary MacKinnon was used as a lynch pin for the re-assertion of the Conservative end of the spectrum in England who did not like the action of Europe or America and actually believed that it was time for England to stand up to those who believed they were superior to her.
So began a long battle with the British Government to convince them to say NO to the Americans about the extradition of a man who had hacked into the NASA database and embarissed the American Administration. The search for little green men from a mentally retarded individual did not need to resort to being tried as a terrorist and being locked up for sixty years, expecially as he never once set foot in the United States.
The American Establishment, now under the executive command of Barack Obama insisted, despite a personal State visit from the Prime Minister pleading for an exemption, that the treaty be upheld. Europe refused to hear the appeals, the new Supreme Court followed suit, and a previous Secretary of State rulled in favour of the Americans.
Then a member of the Crown Prosecution Service alleged that the Secretary of State had acted unlawfully and a full judicial review, under the premise that not only was this extradition unwarrented, but the whole, entire treaty was unfair and needed to be torn apart.
The findings of those results were presented to the present Secretary of State this past week, and as far as the Government, Opposition, and Media were concered, Theresa May was about to step in line.
Less then an hour before the official announcement, the US Ambassidor was called and told the truth. Theresa May stood up in The House of Commons and announced amidst a round of applause from the politicians, that not only would she tell the Americans that they were not going to have Gary McKinnon, but further, that she was going to reform the US Extradition Treaty of 2003 alltogether
She has come underfire of course for double standards since she was all for shipping REAL terrorists to the US, one of which went last week...but here was the statement on her judgement decision
The US Ambassidor was most unkind about the British Judiciary following the announcement. President Obama was said to be "dissapointed"
But I guess he'll get over it...at least for what are expected to be his last few weeks in office
Now if only they will stand up to the European Union and the German Chancellor...we might yet regain some of our once mighty soverignty
This doesn't bother me much. It will cost the british in the long run.
Provide a safe haven for terrorist. They don't seem to like you guys much either. Well, they may show a little mercy (cause they are known for their empathy/compassion ) on you now that they will be wanting to live there. Better there than here.
Good luck with that.
a retarded computer hacker who ventured into NASA...you know...we dont actually see that as a threat to either ourselves nor yourself...what we actually see is the US need to assert authority simply because someone with harmless intentions managed to embariss them.
What we are actually saying is that the United States has abused this extradition treaty by miss classification for their own gratuitious need to try and cling to Superpower status which they are poised to looose.
Its also not right for any Soverign State to be in bondage to another, Americans of all peoples should understand that its a form of Tyrany to impose your laws onto another populas...it was Wrong when an English King marginalized his collonies rather then Serving them as was his duty...its equally wrong for an American President to dictate British Foreign Policy.
Your History however does lean increadibly towards your Federal Government believing that this type of Tyrany, if done towards them is an act of war, but if done BY them, well its perfectly acceptable as a form of National Security...We've seen that with the United Nations...how America was the impotus to set up a Forum to prevent Imperialism from ever taking the form of Empire again, Binding soverignties by International Law from any Unilateral issues. Yet she is largely incapable of acting by those same rules herself...infact America now hates her own creation...Why? because its doing exactly the job she set it up to do...she just never thought it might actually stop HER imperial tendancies. The irony will never be lost on any European.
Our major problem however has nothing to do with the US, nor Europe...but something called the Apeal Court of Human Rights...That has, EXACTLY like the US, abused its position by claiming that criminals have certain rights that they should no longer be given. When people committ crimes, they should be punished...they should not be permitted to vote, they should not be given X-boxes, they should not be let out early to ease congestion, they should not be allowed to sue the prison service because they cant bloody sleep, or have been hurt by other prisoners whilst in custody. Clearly, to allow those things goes far beyond human rights...it infacts GIVES MORE RIGHTS to those people...How come to take away their X-Box is to deny them their human right should they slip into depression and the quality of their life suffer.. when I work for a living, I am clinically depressed, and where the hell is my ing Xbox????
Do you see?
The US calls anyone it wants a terrorist so it can get them, the Appeals Court of Human Rights makes all things "Rights" to REAL terrorists to stop justice being done, lest its an unpleasent experience for them.
Together, BOTH the American Federation and the European Federation are an affront to Justice and Freedom. The words issued by them both, be it "Freedom" or "Human Rights" are meaningless when they simply can not act responsibly and sensibly
Englands crime is that it fails to stick up for itself. It bends over backwards to comprimise so much so it falls over. Its frightened by its friends, and frightened of its enemies, and strategically plans to stay in the shade of another because it hasnt the balls to say no. We hide behind being older and wiser, when really we are nothing but weaker, and somewhere inside we know that we cant live up to the hype, so we associate ourselves with the elite to appear, by association as one of them, like some kinda tart looking to break the glass ceiling. Its deplorable. Our Politicians are all the same, no matter which party they come from, they try to disband that which is there to add to their moral legitamacy and call it progress, they corrupt themselves with illegal spending, and waste time arguing over who sent what to who in a text message, and what some pompous toff really did say to policeman when enraged. One Spends money it doesnt have, the other is tighter then a penny pincher....and noone really gives a damn about Her Majesty The Queen.
"Word is Barack Obama is disappointed"? Who put that out there, his WH press secretary, Jay Carney?
"President Obama was said to be "dissapointed". "Disappointed", I find that highly suspect. Who put that out there, his WH press secretary, Jay Carney?

Pulled Pork Sandwich
- 1 boneless pork shoulder (about 4 to 41/2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 to 3 sprigs thyme, leaves only
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- Scant 1 tablespoon cayenne
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Coleslaw:
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 head savoy cabbage finely sliced
- 1/2 head purple cabbage, finely sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced on mandoline
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 brioche hamburger buns
- 1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert. Place the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, thyme leaves, garlic, vinegar, and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until well combined. Add extra-virgin olive oil until you have a nice paste. Rub all over the pork, being sure to get into the nooks so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture - this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Roast the pork for 3 1/2 hours, uncovered, until the outside is crispy-brown (it should look like mahogany). Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the slaw. Combine the mustard, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar. Mix well and add finely sliced savoy cabbage, purple cabbage, green onions and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
To serve, cut the brioche buns in half and pile up some sliced pork. Top with a large spoonful of coleslaw and place the top half of the bun on top. Garnish with parsley.
