"In this Chapter meeting we will not REST until we have designed an access control mechanism to protect your web services..."
- 18:30 - 19:15 Registration & Pizza
- 19:15 - 20:00 "Access Control Design Best Practices" – Jim Manico
- 20:00 - 20:15 Break
- 20:15 - 21:00 "RESTful services, the web security blind spot" – Ofer Shezaf
- 21:00 - 21:30 Networking
Access Control Design Best Practices
Access Control is a necessary security control at almost every layer within a web application. This talk will discuss several of the key access control anti-patterns commonly found during website security audits. These access control anti-patterns include hard-coded security policies, lack of horizontal access control, and "fail open" access control mechanisms. In reviewing these and other access control problems, we will discuss and design a positive access control mechanism that is data contextual, activity based, configurable, flexible, and deny-by-default - among other positive design attributes that make up a robust web-based access-control mechanism.
RESTful web services, the web security blind spot
As a light weight alternative to web services, RESTful services are fast becoming a leading technology for developing mobile applications and web 2.0 sites. Upon first glance, RESTful services seem very different than web services and suspiciously similar to regular web technology. The similarity of RESTful services to regular web leads to the misconception that RESTful services are secured in the same way. However, RESTful services share many of the security risks of web services without the compensating Web Services security controls. The presentation will describe RESTful services and their use, the complexities in protecting them and common attack vectors that specific to REST services such as ULR embedded attacks. The presentation concludes with a discussion of the challenges of security testing for RESTful services and present novel approaches for automated testing of RESTful services using grey-box testing, a method combining a client attack tool and a server based monitor.

Someone recently asked how to shut down or restart Windows from their Ruby code. Windows provides an executable, "shutdown.exe", to accomplish this. Execute this command from your script with the appropriate parameters and you can log off, shutdown, or restart the OS.
Parameters accepted include, but are not limited to:
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
So, the following line of code will close all applications without a warning and instantly shut down and restart your PC:
system('shutdown.exe -r -f -t 0')
To get the full list of parameters, open a console window and enter
shutdown.exe /?
Further details can be found in this Microsoft article. And Gordon Thiesfeld offers WMI and win32ole alternatives in this Ruby Forum thread.
Thanks for stopping by!

Has the Religious Right been good for American conservatism? One way to answer that question might involve looking at the success of the Republican Party since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. Since the votes of white Protestants who identify themselves as "born again" have been crucial to the GOP's dominance of the White House for the last three decades, students of American politics would have trouble looking at the Religious Right's influence as anything but positive, at least for Republican leaders and candidates.
But the answer to questions about the Religious Right's relationship to American conservatism becomes complicated if it is possible to distinguish between American conservatism and the Republican Party. Of course, American citizens who hold conservative convictions vote overwhelmingly for Republican candidates. But the reasons sometimes have less to do with the party's platform than with the limited candidates that a two-party system provides. What conservatives believe about government and the health and welfare of the United States is not necessarily the same as that for which the Republican Party stands.
For instance, in 1964 GOP officials believed that Barry Goldwater was "too conservative" to be elected, and they hoped for a moderate candidate who would not be so libertarian and anticommunist in order to appeal to independent voters. The same was true in 1980, when Ronald Reagan gained the Republican nomination and adopted a platform similar to Goldwater's—strongly anticommunist and antiliberal. But by then Reagan's advisors and some Republican officials recognized that the Democratic Party was vulnerable with Protestants in the South and white working-class Roman Catholics—two groups that belonged uncomfortably to the Democrat's New Deal coalition. By 1980, being a conservative looked much more appealing than being a big-government, socially tolerant liberal.
Many of the evangelicals who voted for Reagan were new, both to the Republican Party and to the world of American conservatism more generally. The most important figures in the Religious Right were Southern Protestants who had been Democrats prior to the era of Civil Rights. They included Jerry Falwell, who in 1979 founded the Moral Majority, and Pat Robertson, who in 1988 would run for the presidency in the Republican primaries and later found the Christian Coalition.
Although they formed one flank in Reagan's coalition, these evangelicals had little knowledge of American conservatism as a distinct wing within the nation's political traditions. In fact, since the mid-1950s, political conservatives had been forging a set of ideas and establishing institutions that alerted many Americans to important differences between the United States' original federal and republican structures of government and the post–World War II domestic and international realities that confronted the nation as the newly inaugurated leader of the free world.
Important among these conservatives were Russell Kirk, the author of The Conservative Mind (1953), a book that almost single-handedly put conservatism on the map of the American public, and William F. Buckley, Jr., a clever writer with incomparable energy who founded the magazine National Review as a popular and influential vehicle for conservative reflection. Kirk and Buckley were virtually foreign to the leaders of the Religious Right, even though both groups, American conservatives and the Religious Right, overwhelmingly supported Reagan and became foot soldiers in the president's so-called revolution.
This historical perspective is important for considering whether the Religious Right has been good for American conservatism. Many contemporary evangelicals believe they are conservative because the politics of the American Right follow directly from biblical convictions. They are conservative precisely because they are born-again followers of Jesus Christ. That is, they came to political conservatism by way of faith, or so they think. In contrast, the figures who dominate the world of American conservatism, such as radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, are not evangelical. Limbaugh has no apparent religious preference, and Hannity is a Roman Catholic. Although many conservatives would say that these radio celebrities do not represent truly conservative views, even the more thoughtful op-ed writers, such as George Will and Ross Douthat, make no pretense of being born-again Christians. These conservatives came to their political convictions not by faith, but by reflection on the American system of government, the nation's role in the world, and ideas about the best ways to balance human freedom and social order.
If so many important spokesmen for political conservatism are not born-again Christians, then being conservative is clearly not the same as being Christian. If the leading figures in the America Right—even Ronald Reagan—came to their political outlook not from believing in Jesus Christ or reading the Bible, but through studying the founding and political heritage of the United States and assessing the nation's current strengths and weaknesses, it is possible to be a good conservative and not be a good Christian. But this is not the impression that many evangelicals create when they argue that their political views stem directly from their religious convictions. Although few members of the Religious Right would question the conservative credentials of a Limbaugh or Will on the basis of faith, they would likely take issue with evangelicals who are not politically conservative. Again, the reason stems from the identification of born-again Protestantism with political conservatism.
And yet, a growing number of evangelical pastors and scholars are abandoning the GOP and rejecting conservatism precisely because of their born-again faith. For instance, Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo argue that the teachings of Jesus and love of neighbor require public policies much closer to the American Left or liberalism than to conservatism.
Conservative evangelicals may dispute Wallis's or Campolo's appropriation of Scripture. But the evangelical Left's appeal to faith is not essentially any more irresponsible than the Religious Right's effort to find a biblical warrant for federalism, republicanism, a strong military, or low taxes. As J. Gresham Machen argued in his day, any effort by the church or Christians to read into the Bible laws or policies about which Scripture is silent is a distortion of divine revelation. In other words, to try to find a biblical warrant for political positions is invariably a violation of Christian liberty. The reason is that in matters where Scripture is silent—which would include most aspects of domestic and foreign policy—Christians have liberty to act according to their consciences.
If someone were to conclude that the Religious Right has hurt American conservatism, then, they would have a point. This would be especially true if it were based on the evangelical habit of voting for Republicans as part of their duty as believers, not as citizens. Members of the Religious Right invariably distort their faith and misrepresent conservatism when they assume that born-again Protestantism necessarily leads to conservative political ideals.
This does not mean that evangelicals should not be conservative. It only means that evangelicals need to find reasons for being conservative that neither contort Scripture nor ignore the thoughtful and often wise writings of American conservatives whose religious views may be wrong.

...or is it a dream of desire and nothing more?
Poly's really gone out of her way for you.
So it was a normal dream after all. Bern, it's ok. Dreams go to strange places. Even lucid dreamers don't have 100% control over where they go. Besides, it's not wrong to have those feelings, Poly's really gone out of her way for you. It's how you act on them that could be problematic.
Technically she committed that violent crime to save someone, and even then committed no significant violence, only imposed the threat thereof. But this seems to be the legally sanctioned government's punishment. I myself would argue that this government is likely corrupt enough that it would not be immoral to ignore its laws (aka escape).
And the testing warden is actually HELPING them?
Bern sweating like a pig.
Assuming the Flipsideverse has the same 52 weeks a year that we do, that would be three years, 10 weeks of brutal, bloody fighting three days a week.
Yeah, Bern is somehow going to be ending the Triple Bloody Mary threat with the combined magic killin' swords that Frank Zappa gives her.
Oh no! I bet it's Bernedette fighting Polly to the death, with a take-it or leave it condition. Polly will then without doubt accept, forcing Bernedette to fight her. Beat a rank A to surpass rank A. Hope not!

The Mainz Psalter - Pictures in BooksIt wasn't until the 1460s that woodcuts were included in printed books. Printing type matter and woodcuts side by side in the printing press was initially a difficult feat to master. Printing in more than one colour, a distinguishing feature of the two editions of the Mainz Psalter from 1457 and 1459, was discarded, as the process proved too time-consuming. The Psalter, on view in the museum treasury, is nevertheless an aesthetic highlight of the early years of printing – as is the Gutenberg Bible.
A Puzzling BookJohannes Balbus's "Catholicon", a lexicon of the foreign words in the Bible, also deserves special attention. The smallness of the type allowed a large amount of text to be printed per page and illustrates what the punch cutters and type founders of the time were already capable of. Yet the fact that this work was obviously printed in three different workshops using the same type matter is puzzling.
Later WorkThe museum is in possession of a double page from the 36-line Bible, printed in Bamberg not after 1461. The work was originally attributed to Gutenberg, as it is printed with one of the typefaces from his workshop. We now believe, however, that the inventor merely acted as a consultant in the printing of the Bible, either in Bamberg or Mainz.
German Bibles before LutherLong before Martin Luther's translation was complete there were Bibles printed in German, some of them lavishly illustrated. The Gutenberg Museum has several, including the 3rd German Bible by Jodocus Pflanzmann, Augsburg, c. 1475, the 5th by Johann Sensenschmidt, Nuremberg, c. 1473, the 8th by Anton Sorg, Augsburg, 1480, and the 10th in two volumes by Johann Grüninger in Strasbourg from 1485.
The "Reise ins Heilige Land" by Bernhard von Breydenbach, printed in Mainz in 1486, is an account of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. It presents the more realistic view of the world people of the time came to hold, a view which is mirrored in the design and form of the book. Breydenbach had an artist accompany him, Erhard Reuwich, who brought back views of a number of cities on the Mediterranean, among them a large panorama of Venice. This woodcut, folded like a concertina, was printed from several formes; the paper had to be stuck together to fit the wide format of the picture.
Schedel's "Weltchronik"Hartmann Schedel's famous "Weltchronik", printed at the large Koberger printing workshop in Nuremberg in 1493, chronicles the history of the world from its creation – according to the Bible – to the universe of Schedel's day and age. The work contains a total of 645 woodcuts. The many cities they depict give an authentic view of how the traveller would have seen these places from afar. On closer inspection, however, one notices that in some cases the same wood block has been used for several of the cities!
MapsA milestone in the art of maps, Cosmographia is an atlas after Ptolemy, printed by Lienhart Holle from woodcuts in 1482 in Ulm. The book is open at an extremely beautiful map of the world, coloured by hand. This atlas had two predecessors in Italy which betray early use of the more advanced technology of printing from copper plates.

Understanding SI audit requirements
The audit process is a two-tier (level) program that focuses on the employer's knowledge and implementation of the administrative, reporting, and claims management requirements.
Level 2 compliance audit
With the Level 2 compliance audit, we conduct a more comprehensive review of an employer's claim compliance and SI-40 reporting practice, which validates how much was paid out in claims costs. We can schedule and conduct these audits as needed based on the following triggers.
- Not in compliance with any area in a Level 1 audit
- Unexplained significant variances on the SI-40 from one year to the next
- Not able to provide material support for a reduction reported on previous SI-40s
- A high-risk self-insuring employer
- Concerns noted from prior Level 2 audits
- Multiple valid complaints in a rolling 12-month period
- Not been audited for more than four years
Frequency: Our self-insured department targets completing a Level 2 audit on all active self-insuring employers every two to three years.
Scope: The Level 2 audit will include determining the:
- Accuracy of SI-40 reporting.
- Accuracy in calculating wages for temporary total compensation and permanent partial – scheduled loss
- Accuracy in permanent total disability calculation
- Timeliness of compensation payments
- Number and type of complaints
- Aggregate reserves
We'll notify the employer in advance of what audit information they need to provide.
Level 3 compliance audit
With a Level 3 compliance audit, we review all aspects of an employer's claims administration and reporting practices. We may schedule these audits based on the following triggers.
- Initial six-to-12-month audit for all new SI employers.
- Any employer who is not in compliance with any area of the Level 2 audit.
- Four years or more since the last Level 3 compliance audit.
- Finding a third valid self-insured complaint in any rolling 12-month period.
- A change of the administrator requires completion of our online Self-Insured Orientation Tutorial and shortens the four-year audit time line to 12 months from the point of turnover (change in administrators).
- Failure of an employer to demonstrate strong working knowledge and consistent practices with the SI process will result in a repeat Level 3 audit in the following six months to one year.
Frequency: As needed
Scope: The audit will include reviewing the:
- Timeliness of lost-time claim reporting to BWC.
- Timeliness of certifying claims.
- Timeliness of medical bill payments.
- Reasonableness of medical bill response.
- Timeliness of compensation payments.
- Accuracy of compensation payments.
- Timeliness of responding to treatment requests.
- Availability of claim file.
- Maintaining a complete claim file.
- Proper notification to injured worker on claims process.

Post subject: Danger!!!
I'm afraid of anything that sizzles too vigorously. This includes deep frying, and the kind of oven roasting that pops and splats loudly in the oven or smokes a little. I'm just fine doing high heat and flames on a grill, but those are designed to hold a fire inside (and don't sit right inside my kitchen!).
Yeah, I've never even set off a smoke alarm with my cooking, but having had a small steak ignite in my broiler once makes me worry (though I just blew it out, and it was deliciously medium-rare, as I recall).

>Put away fourteen egg yolks for another use." <
Although not a deal breaker, that sort of thing has long been a pet peeve of mine.
It's especially prevalent in French classic cookery, and sources with pretentions. Gourmet magazine used to be notorious for it. Typical: Remove the stems from a pound of button mushrooms and reserve them for another use."
Ok! Anybody who has
read a recipe that said, "take the stems from a pound of mushrooms and......" stand up now.
Isn't that strange. I don't hear one chair scraping.

The deal breaker for me is any ingredient that I can't buy without travelling more than 300 km (unless I already have it). Unfortunately, the list of things that seem to be illegal in Canada is astounding ranging from the mundane, creme fraîche & fromage frais, to the understandable, Fleur de Sel de Camargue (I could get it in Montréal but that is an altogether more civilised place than the West or even Toronto). I would kill for any of the above right now, I'd go as far as a flesh wound for Real Bacon but that's another story.

to expand why I don't deep fry - too many calories and such a waste. I'd have to throw out the oil after I used it. Although I do love Tempura and sometimes a bowl of really good fries.
Msue try brushing your fish fillets with warmed apricot jam. It may take the smell away. I know someone who does that to take away the fish taste. He wants to eat fish but isn't keen on the taste.
Clotilde - I grill my eggplants and toss them in garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. I only ever use the thin finger type ones.

Post subject: DISCUSSION OF THE MONTH
I have to agree with the long list of ingredients - I usually find that I only have about half of the ingredients called for - sometimes, of course, it is easy to find a substitute but other times it is not. Another deal breaker are recipes calling for more pots than I have burners, for example I made a wonderful pork chop recipe last night from 1, 080 Recipes (a great book by the way) that called for two frying pans, considering that I was also using the burner for potatoes and a vegetables and a soup it was a tight fit, thank goodness I have a warming element.

I'm with Claudia and KYH on the "separate 12 eggs, use the whites" thing!as I end up wasting the "kept" half!
I adore fries (chips) and will gladly smoke the house out for a good batch of twice fried.....but recently got a near smokeless deep fryer which, when cooled, allows you to drain and strain it in to a lower pan which can be kept in the fridge, thus not wasting anything!
And anything with really finicky timing scares me!

I am joining the queue with the anti-deep fryers!
I have never done it much and got rid of the pan when my kids were very small. Now I don't deep fry because I worry about disposing of that much oil - it all seems too difficult.
Anything calling for a candy thermometer will make me turn the page, as will requests for obscure ingredients that will moulder away in a corner of the pantry for years after a single use.
I also don't do huge amounts of pushing through sieves - if it can't go into a machine then I lose interest pretty quickly!

Post subject: One thing I'll never need
I'll try almost anything. I will even occasionally do a Thomas Keller recipe.
One of our best friends edits cookbooks for a living. He was editing a cookbook for an international high-end hotel chain. It was one of those books that was loaded with gorgeous color pictures. He drew the line on one of the recipes when it called for 2 cups of octopus stock. "No one, and I mean no one, is going to make octopus stock," he said. Some of these recipes need a good editor or someone with a little common sense.

Barbara, thanks for the apricot jam suggestion. However, I don't object to the smell of fish while eating. I order it in all forms when dining at restaurants, including sushi. (In fact, I'm in a little bit of a sushi crave at the moment!)
My objection is that the fish odors linger for days in my house. The vent above our stove appears to be original with the kitchen, and the house was built in 1924. It makes plenty of noise but does a terrible job of moving much air.
On occasion we'll bake fish wrapped in foil, but stove-top preparations are saved for the cooler months when the attic fan will whoosh any lingering odor into the stratosphere without sucking in "105 F in the shade" fresh air.

Agree with a lot of what has been written...but for me, the REAL deal breaker is when a recipe specifies pre-fabricated mixes, i.e. 'take 1 package of cake mix, and add . . . . '

I agree completely that overwritten, complicated recipes with obscure ingredients never get past the recipe review process with me. I have no problem working with a technique (like making choux paste for cream puffs or cheese puffs) but when I see a recipe that has several sub-recipes embedded into the instructions, I pass it by.
And, I have a suggestion for Clothilde's problem with sugar thermometers. I hate those that are inside a glass tube and have a tendency to be horribly innacurate. I have an electronic timer with a temperature probe for roasting meat. I sink the temperature probe into the hot candy mixture and use a butterfly clip to attach the probe to the pan. Then, I set the target temperature according to the recipe and then let the candy cook. When it reaches the temperature set on the timer, the beeper goes off.
I tried this when I was making a batch of hazlenut crunch and it was perfect! I can now say that I'm no longer syrup-challenged!

I am also not a fan of deep frying for the simple reason that I have done it a few times and invariably end up burning either my fingers or my mouth. I also don't really like chips (fries) or other deep fried foods very much so I'm not tempted.
I had a glass sugar thermometer up until a few weeks ago when I was making caramel. It exploded into a thousand pieces all through my caramel. I know why, it was because I didn't put it in at the beginning, however it has kind of put me off using one again (although I'd have to buy another one first).
My real deal breaker is the bain-marie method. I can never do this because a) I don't have a big enough oven and b) I don't have enough dishes that fit inside each other nicely.

For me, my deal breaker is yeast. I know, I know, imposing such a severe handicap wipes out one of man's greatest culinary gifts, bread. Nonetheless, I hold strong to my self-imposed handicap as my attempts to bake a loaf of bread has been met with less than spectacular results. My results have brought forth bricks, hockey pucks, door stops, and a host of other building materials. None edible. (sigh)

Hi everybody,
I´m using the stroke effect applying on a mask with a wave wrap effect. I have a music track with a "convert audio to keyframes" done.
I´d like to vary the stroke color with the speed of the music.
If the music accelerate, the stroke will pass to red, and when the music slows, it´ll converrt to green.
Have you got a expression to help me? There is another way to do this without expression?
Tks a lot and have a good friday
Change color stroke expression

There has been considerable interest in determining whether the universality hypothesis extends to systems which are of non-integer dimension or to systems which are scale invariant (fractals). Specifically research into these types of systems is concerned with determining the relevance of topological properties to their critical phenomena. We have performed Monte Carlo simulations for the XY model on three fractal lattices with different topological properties: the Sierpinski pyramid Menger sponge and Sierpinski carpet. We will give an overview of our results and show that while some properties such as the order of ramification are important in determining the critical behavior of these structures the fractal dimension is not.

About Me
I'm a single female who enjoys fantasy/science fiction/paranormal in a variety of differing media... TV, books, anime, manga, comics, manga. However I do not like conventional pairings (like Kagome/Inuyasha in InuYasha or Ron/Hermione in Harry Potter). This means I have a weakness for fictional bad boys and anti-heros (I do like cinnamon in my desserts). When I get bored of UC pairings in the canonverse I move to crossovers where I can really indulge in 'What-If' scenarios.
After reading a lot of fan fiction I finally decided to take the plunge and start writing. I am very slow in posting because I do have other things going on so do be patient. I post other sites under the same pen name. Most of my fanfics are on Fanfiction.net or Twisting the Hellmouth. Some are on Granger Enchanted. I'm currently in the process of putting them up on AO3. Then I'll have Masterposts to all my fics on Livejournal, not the fics themselves since I hate html coding.
Many of my current projects are crossovers and not KagSess and are thus posted (or will be) on other sites. They primarily involve Kagome Higurashi or Hermione Granger paired with male characters from various fandoms (book, tv, movie, or anime). Please read and enjoy. You might develop a taste for something new.
It's Official: I've gone bonkers signing up for too many Big Bangs, Challenges and Exchanges. Not KagSess but I hope you'll still read and get a taste of something new. If anyone is interested in testing the waters in non kag-sess avenues have a look-see.
These are new and forthcoming
These are work-at-your-own-pace Challenges. Whatever floats your boat. Including KagSess. Click on the links, read the profile with the FAQs, and if it strikes your fancy just give it a shot.
NOTE: Any of you guys who've seen the pretty stamps (below) on many Dokuga profiles (including mine) and wondering where on earth you can get a few for yourself ... Go and Look!

There appears to be some confusion about how partnerships are structured and managed, or what SEC documents mean. (Just because you are listed as an owner of shares does not mean you have a managerial role.)Why's everyone digging around in this again: "Millions of dollars of attack ads by the Obama campaign are hanging in the balance. "
ADDED: Here's how the Obama campaign is exploiting this story in email received at 8:07 pm this evening. The subject line is "Romney's Bain lie exposed":
The more everyone finds out about Mitt Romney's finances, the more questions they have. Perhaps that's why he's hiding as much as he thinks he can get away with.
Today, The Boston Globe reported that Romney was still running Bain Capital two years after he claims he left the firm, directly contradicting his campaign's denial that he was involved in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and American jobs getting shipped overseas.
It's a pattern of secrecy, and this is just the latest example of him trying to hide the truth from voters. There are a number of issues in play right now -- questions to which voters deserve answers:
1) Why won't Romney come clean about his taxes? He seems intent on being the first presidential nominee in over 30 years to keep his financial records hidden from the American people. Earlier this year, Governor Romney hedged when asked if he'd follow the precedent set by his own father, George Romney, and release multiple years of tax returns. After pressure from fellow Republicans, Romney released one year -- 2010 -- which raised many more questions that full disclosure would answer. Here's why that matters: Presidents make important decisions for this country, and Americans ought to know the motivations behind those decisions.
2) Who are the secret supporters raising millions for his campaign? I'm not talking about the shadowy outside groups -- I'm talking about the people in charge of raising money for Romney's campaign and the Republican Party. Romney refuses to reveal his fundraising "bundlers," something even George W. Bush did when he ran for president. Why is that important? Because we'd never know whether these "bundlers" were getting special consideration in decisions made in a Romney White House.
3) What's up with this corporation in Bermuda? One of the Romneys' assets revealed in his 2010 tax returns is a corporation that had previously been transferred to a blind trust the day before he took office as governor. The single year of taxes he's released shows that at some point it was moved back into Romney's sole ownership. What's going on? And, crucially, what's the purpose of having a corporation in a known tax haven like Bermuda in the first place?
4) Why did he have a Swiss bank account? Even his closest allies, like Republican House Speaker John Boehner, can't explain why any American running for president would have ever kept his money in a secretive Swiss bank account.
5) When exactly did he stop running Bain? Today's Globe story sheds light on the two years he now claims he wasn't running the firm. According to legal documents Mitt Romney signed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he was the sole owner, chairman of the board, CEO, and president of Bain Capital, drawing a salary as an executive until late 2001, and legally responsible for decisions the company made until that time. The Romney campaign denies this report is true, but the SEC documents with Gov. Romney's signature are hard to refute. If he was in charge, it means his role in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and outsourcing is much deeper than he has admitted to date.
Please forward this email and share this with everyone you know who cares about the outcome of this election.
Everyone deserves the right to judge for themselves whether Romney's motivations, experience, and perspective are what they want in a president. But Mitt Romney doesn't want people to have the information they need to make those judgments.
More to come,

10/24/13 Update:
The clearance is over. Thanks to those of you who took part thereby making a contribution to the Fisheries Scholarship Fund. The Friends staff very much appreciated the gesture.
I have about thirty (30) May, 2012 edition Smoky Mountains stream maps (below) that I'd like to be put to a good cause… actually... two good causes: Your fishing and the GSMNP Fisheries Scholarship Fund. The maps are 11x17 on weatherproof paper. The content is current. Changes since have been only cosmetic.
Cost is only $5 dollars each which includes shipping. $4 from each map purchased will be donated to the fund in your name (optional).
Limit of two per individual, please.
Shoot an e-mail to ....... for an up-to-date inventory, ordering instructions or other information.
Several years ago Little River Chapter Trout Unlimited and Friends of the Smokies set up a Fisheries Endowment to benefit up and coming high school or early college students and give them an opportunity to work in the fisheries field with the biologists at GRSM. The funds are donated to an account the Friends keeps, which gains interest, and from which Fisheries draws a small amount annually (~$4,000) to support an 8-week summer seasonal. Many of these interns come back a work as fisheries seasonals at GSMNP. For more information visit http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/aquaticworld.htm.
Thank you in advance,

Crispy duck & baked apples

Heat oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½. Pull any excess fat from the duck's cavity and use a roasting fork or skewer to prick the skin of the duck all over – do this lightly as you don't want to pierce the meat. Rub the duck generously inside and out with flaky sea salt, then lay, breast-side down, on a rack over a roasting tray. Roast the duck for 3 hrs, pricking again every now and then should you happen to pass by. While the duck is cooking, score a line gently around the middle of each apple and set aside (this stops them exploding when they cook).
After 3 hrs, remove duck from the oven and turn the heat to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Sit the duck on a plate and carefully pour away most of the fat from the tin. Return the duck to the rack, right way up, and continue to roast for 30 mins. Put the apples in under the duck or around the side and roast for a final 30 mins. By now you should have the crispiest duck and apples on the verge of collapse. Leave the duck to rest for 10 mins, then carve and serve with the apples.

In our September issue, we showed you the step-by-step procedures it takes to re-cover a bucket seat with simple tools you already own. To continue on with the "helping you restore an interior at home" theme, we will now tackle the headliner. Just about every muscle car up to the mid-'70s had a bow-style headliner. Instead of a hard board covered in material like what's found in later cars, these were sewn together units suspended by multiple steel bows inserted into the roof.
While this bow-style look is pretty sexy when done right, it is also kind of a pain to restore. This story will map out the procedure and simple tools needed to complete the roof resto at home. We will walk you through removal and installation, with tips along the way to help you produce killer results. We used a very clean '63 Chevy Nova Wagon as our guinea pig for the work. This car has way more bows in it than most coupes and is a bit more open for us to get pictures. If after reading this you are still a little intimidated, either write us a letter/e-mail with your questions or start a thread on the forums at www.superchevy.com.

Lash extensions are synthetic fibers individually attached to each of your natural lashes. They give you the longer, thicker lashes you wish you were born with and they look and feel completely natural. You can choose from a variety of styles, lengths and curls to create a look you'll love.
Your stylist will help you select a style best suited for your eye and face shape, your desired look, and even your lifestyle. You'll start with one of our four amazing styles, and customize as you wish to achieve the lashes of your dreams.
Gorgeous Lashes
This style features longer eyelash extensions in the center of the eye and subtly goes down in length at both corners, to help open up the eyes.
Eye shapes best suited for: almond, deep-set, mono-lid, down-turned, wide-set or hooded eyes.
Natural Lashes
You, only better! This style follows your natural eye shape with a subtle and gradual flare at the outer corner, with shorter lashes in the inner corner.
Eye shapes best suited for: almond, protruding, mono-lid, close-set eyes.
Sexy Lashes
This style features eyelash extensions that are longer on the outside edge of the eyes to make every wink count, with a sleek cat eye appearance.
Eye shapes best suited for: almond, protruding, mono-lid, close-set eyes.
Cute Lashes
This style uses longer eyelash extensions at the center of your lash line to make your eyes appear larger and more open.
Eye shapes best suited for: almond, deep-set, mono-lid, down-turned, wide-set and hooded eyes.
Lash Lift elevates and curls your natural lashes. It is like a perm for your eyelashes followed by a deep-conditioning of Keratin treatment, to nourish and strengthen your natural lashes. It gives your lashes a lasting curl—up to 6 weeks! — and can have a beautifully brightening effect on your eyes.
How long will my Lash Lift last?
On average it will last 4-6 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle.
Will it harm my lashes? Or how will it affect my natural lashes?
The active ingredient in Lash Lift is a perm solution. When performed by a trained stylist and when aftercare instructions are properly followed, your natural lash will not be damaged. Additionally, we treat your lashes with a deep conditioning Keratin treatment which will strengthen your lashes, adding nutrients and deep conditioning.
Can I still wear makeup?
Yes, 24 hours after the treatment. However, you must wear oil free mascara. We highly recommend our Amazing Lash mascara.
Will I still need to use an eyelash curler?
No, that is one of the benefits of a Lash Lift! The natural lash will stay curled throughout the rest of its cycle. Just be sure the lashes stay dry the first 24 hours.
What's the difference between a Lash Lift and lash extensions?
A lift gives a semi-permanent curl to the existing natural lashes while extensions are applied 1:1 on top of each natural lash. Lifting the lashes will enhance your natural lashes. Eyelash extensions give a more dramatic result, but require additional maintenance.

Although television sets wouldn't be mass produced in the United States until after WWII, by the 1920s, many Americans were already captivated by the idea of moving pictures broadcast into their homes. To capitalize on the interest in this not-quite-ready-for-primetime technology, some stores would actually set up fake television sets to lure shoppers to their windows.
Matt Novak of Paleofuture details a couple of methods for creating fake television displays, from the August 1926 issue of Science and Invention magazine. In the example above, a prerecorded filmstrip is broadcast against a screen in one section of the window, showing an actress making various movements and expressions. The actress herself sits in another part of the window, trying to mimic her prerecorded movements as best she can while seated in front of a fake camera (actually a lamplit funnel). The hope was that passersby wouldn't notice any discrepancies between the two performances and would believe that the "camera" was truly broadcasting the actress's face to the nearby projector.
Paleofuture explains another rather ingenious method of fake television creation, one that didn't require such an attentive actress.

Editorial: Stop holding up recovery checks for Sandy victims
It's been 109 days since superstorm Sandy hammered Long Island and our region, and thousands of homeowners still cannot get the funds they need to rebuild their homes.
It's not because these responsible residents lacked insurance. These homeowners had flood coverage, sold through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and administered by private insurance companies, or they had regular homeowners policies that covered the damage they sustained.
It's not, for once, because of politics. Unlike much of the $60 billion in federal funding that will rebuild our region post-Sandy, none of the money involved in these particular claims was held up by Congress.
It's because banks and insurance companies are failing to expedite the process and get these people, and communities, back on their feet. FEMA and the states need to push harder to change that.
Earlier this week, a FEMA spokesman said the agency had settled just 64 percent of the 56,324 flood claims filed in New York State, leaving about 20,000 families waiting for full payments. Some homeowners have gotten partial payments, while others haven't seen a cent. Many dipped into their own pockets to pay for repairs, but for others that isn't an option. While the federal government backs the risk in the National Flood Insurance Program, private insurers administer the policies, keeping about $1 billion of the $2.3 billion collected each year to provide the service.
For another set of New Yorkers, the problem isn't the home insurance companies. They've already paid out. It's banks and mortgage servicers refusing to endorse the checks, which is required to ensure that insurance payouts actually go to fix damaged homes with mortgages.
Tuesday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's office said an investigation has shown that these banks and mortgage servicers continue to hold up more than 6,000 checks, many of them desperately needed, and homeowners cannot complete repairs because of it.
Banks have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure homes with mortgages, many of them guaranteed by taxpayers through Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are actually repaired. But according to a New York Department of Financial Services investigation, the money can and should be moving much faster. To improve the situation, that agency is pushing a new set of guidelines that lightens up on repair documentation and forces streamlining of the process to get storm victims the money they need.
Clearly, the scope of Sandy damage is such that responding to it has challenged insurers, financial institutions and FEMA. But responding to large-scale damage is, in some sense, the reason FEMA and insurance companies exist. If they can't do this one thing well, when we need them to, changes are clearly called for.
As for the mortgage holders and servicers, the restoration of these assets ought to be a very high priority, for the safety of their balance sheets, as well as the needs of their customers.

Anyway, with the few options in hand, I went thru the rest of my larder and found desiccated coconut which I've bought without knowing yet what to do with them :p
I've checked the books again and I found this recipe in Australian Women's Weekly's Food We Love. The recipe is also available in their website over here.
I adapted the recipe and added a handful of chopped toasted pistachios. Since I've more sour cream than needed, I added all in and omitted the milk which worked out fine. I've also cut down the amount of sugar and couldn't be bothered with the icing since it required raw egg whites.
The cake is indeed very moist and have this coconutty fragrant that smell so lovely especially during baking. The pistachios added a nice bite to this cake, this recipe is definitely a keeper.
Moist Coconut Cake
Adapted from Australian Women's Weekly
125g butter, soften
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
3/4 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 & 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
350g sour cream
Preheat oven to 180C and grease a deep 22cm round cake pan; line with baking paper.
Cream butter, essence and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.
Stir in half the coconut and flour with half the sour cream, then fold in remaining ingredients; stir until smooth.
Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for about 1 hour. Stand 5 minutes before turning on to wire rack to cool.

Qs-4A60 and Qs-2A120 deliver improved speeds without compromising image quality
Eindhoven, The Netherlands, May 24, 2011. Adimec (http://www.adimec.com/), a world leader in application-specific, leading-edge industrial camera solutions, today introduced the Qs-4A60 and Qs-2A120 cameras. The new CMOSIS CMOS-based cameras are designed to maximize the potential of the Camera Link® Base communication protocol through the use of a 3 tap configuration, improving throughput by 1.5x over 2 tap implementations, without compromising image output depth.
The cameras will be demonstrated at the Image Sensing Show (ISS) June 8-10 in Yokohama, Japan.
The four megapixel Qs-4A60 offers frame rates of up to 60 frames per second (fps), and the two megapixel Qs-2A120 delivers up to 114 fps. The two new cameras enable imaging systems to fully utilize the data transmission capability of the Camera Link Base configuration. By using a 3 tap configuration combined with the Look-Up-Table function (LUT), the cameras are able to effectively transmit 10 bit images at 1.5x the speed of a similar 2 tap configuration over one Camera Link cable and without using special cables or frame grabbers.
"By improving the quality and reliability of images we enable innovative solutions for metrology and inspection systems. The Qs-4A60 and Qs-2A120 efficiently realize the full potential of existing Camera Link Base architectures and deliver an optimal combination of frame rates, resolution and image quality in a cost effective way" said Marcel Dijkema, strategic product manager at Adimec.
Features of Quartz Qs products
The Qs-4A60 and Qs-2A120 deliver and 2048 x 2048 pixels running at 60fps and 2048 x 1088 running at 114 fps, respectively. The actual image acquisition can be done at higher frame speeds using the in-camera burst mode function, allowing the cameras to deliver 90 fps and 170 fps respectively. Both cameras are available in monochrome or color models, and both offer optional Near Infrared (NIR) capabilities to extend the spectral range. Solutions with anti-reflection coatings are supported to maximise the application performance.
Both cameras leverage the Adimec True Accurate Imaging® technology to deliver image quality comparable to, or in some cases better than, CCD-based cameras, while maintaining CMOS-based sensor technology for improved speed. The cameras also offer a range of quality-enhancing features. Advanced flat field correction (FFC) capabilities, even in color and with field calibration supported, deliver better image uniformity. The cameras deliver signal-to-noise improvements of up to 12 dB shot noise improvement compared to off-the-shelf CMOS sensor performance. The new cameras also offer an HDR mode for large scene dynamic capture capabilities.
Superior accuracy through True Accurate Imaging
The entire QUARTZ family of cameras uses the unique Adimec True Accurate Imaging technology as a foundation for superior accuracy. It uses a variety of techniques to derive optimal performance, quality and features out of standard components. The term means literally what it says -- that the cameras are capable of capturing the scene as it is truly there. The cameras do not alter the scene contents due to internal imperfections. This allows the images provided by the camera to enable the best measurement results.

Five U.S. soldiers were killed by a bomb in the southern Afghanistan province of Kandahar on Saturday, a U.S. authorities said, capping off one of the bloodiest weeks for international forces this year.
The attack underscored the dangers faced by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), even as they hand over much of the fighting to the Afghans before a planned departure next year.
Nineteen U.S. personnel have been killed in the last week in three air crashes and Saturday's bombing. Three British soldiers were also killed on Tuesday by a roadside bomb in the southern province of Helmand.
ISAF said on its website that the five soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan. A U.S. forces spokesman in the region and a Pentagon official said the five dead were U.S. troops.
Kandahar authorities said the soldiers' vehicle struck an IED in Maiwand district, which borders Helmand province to the west and is considered one of the most volatile of Kandahar's districts.
Last month, nine Afghan men working for a mine clearance organization were taken captive by Taliban fighters there, though they were later released.
