Microsoft issued an advisory today to address a zero-day vulnerability linked to a Trojan spreading through infected USB devices.
According to Microsoft, the vulnerability at the center of the reports exists because Windows incorrectly parses shortcuts in a way that allows malicious code may be executed when the user clicks the displayed icon of a specially crafted shortcut. This vulnerability is most likely to be exploited through removable drives.
For systems that have AutoPlay disabled, customers would need to manually browse to the root folder of the removable disk in order for the vulnerability to be exploited, Microsoft said. For Windows 7 systems, AutoPlay functionality for removable disks is automatically disabled.
Security vendor VirusBlokAda reported that a Trojan is using the vulnerability to propagate through infected USB devices. The malware uses rootkit functionality to hide itself, the vendor said.
Further reading
Microsoft said so far it is only seeing limited, targeted attacks exploiting the vulnerability.
Independent security researcher Frank Boldewin reported finding evidence the malware is targeting Siemens SCADA software, meaning it could be meant for industrial espionage. An initial analysis by Symantec also revealed references to software used on SCADA systems, but the vendor said it is still investigating.
"We're currently investigating this threat, which Symantec detects as W32.Temphid," said Dave Cowings, senior manager of operations for Symantec Security Response, told eWEEK. "Based on our initial analysis, however, we can say that this threat is clearly not something that was created overnight...Users accessing the USB device only see LNK files (i.e. links or shortcuts) with legitimate looking icons. When a user clicks on one of these LNK files, the hidden malicious payload is triggered into action."
Malware that spreads via USB devices is really a double-edged sword, Cowings added. On one hand, such devices are often transferred from one machine to another, but this also requires physical action on the part of the user.
"This human interaction element may in some cases be a mitigating factor to widespread distribution of such threats," he said.
As a workaround, Microsoft suggested users disable the displaying of icons. Users can also disable the WebClient Service by following instructions contained within the advisory.

* Further speakers to be confirmed
Foreign Policy Centre's Edinburgh event will be the final in a series of events taking place around the country as part of a new project between the Foreign Policy Centre and the European Commission Representation in the United Kingdom. It seeks to explore the impact the new coalition government is having on the UK's relationship with EU institutions and other member states and on the dynamics of the European debate within the main parties. The panel will examine the potential internal and external challenges and opportunities facing the coalition on European issues, while addressing any impact electoral defeat has made to the Labour Party's long-term approach to the EU, given perceived problems over Lisbon ratification and EU migration.
The event is free and open to all. Light refreshments will be provided.

Circular Pipes
A surveyor places a metre stick against the base of a large circular underground pipe and finds that the midpoint of the stick is 8 cm from the pipe wall.
Use this information to find the inside diameter of the pipe.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, r2 = (r 8)2 + 502 = r2 16r + 64 + 2500
16r = 2564 r = 160.25
So the internal diameter is 320.5 cm.
What if the stick was 10 cm from the wall?
Can you generalise for any distance x?

YOUR eyes are itching and watering, you sneeze all day, your nose keeps dripping, and you have difficulty breathing. What is happening? You might have a cold. But if these symptoms afflict you when you are around pollen, you may well be suffering from hay fever. If so, you have plenty of company. The number of people whose condition is diagnosed as hay fever keeps rising every year.
HAY fever is nothing more than an exaggerated reaction of our body toward a substance it considers harmful, reports the magazine Mujer de Hoy. The immune system of people with allergies rejects all agents it considers foreign –including pollen –even though these are not really dangerous. And when the immune system overreacts in this way, it causes the annoying symptoms described at the outset.
In 1819, English physician John Bostock described hay fever. He was the first to do so. Bostock detailed his own irritating seasonal symptoms. He believed that the symptoms were caused by freshly cut hay, so the condition was called hay fever. Later it was discovered that the agents that provoke the allergic reaction are actually many different kinds of pollen. At the beginning of the 19th century, Bostock found very few cases throughout all of England.
Why, though, are there so many hay-fever sufferers today? Dr.Javier Subiza, director of the center for Asthma and Allergies in Madrid, spain, mentions two theories researchers are investigating. One theory puts the blame on diesel engines. It is thought that the particles coming from the combustion of diesel fuel can stimulate the action of allergens, agents that trigger an allergic reaction. According to allergist Dr. Juan Kothny Pommer, in industrialized countries hay fever affects as much as 20 percent of the population, being more frequent in the cities.
A second theory suggests that the cause is simply too much hygiene. We are born in an operating room, we consume sterile food, we get inoculated against many diseases, and we immediately take antibiotics if we get ill. Thus, from childhood our immune system is conditioned to developed allergies.
If you are a victim of this immunological overreaction, do not despair! With the right diagnosis and treatment, it is possible to control and reduce both the frequency and intensity of hay's irritating symptoms.

History of Peugeot cars
Since being founded as a car manufacturer in 1882, Peugeot has established itself as one of the best motoring producers in the industry. Having designed hundreds of high quality vehicles and produced many reliable parts, including gearboxes, Peugeot has built a strong image that accurately represents the quality that it has become so well known for. Mr. Peugeot started manufacturing bicycles and tricycles and in 1889 exhibited a tricycle powered by steam at the World Exhibition in Paris. During 1890 they moved from steam power to petrol and were one of the first pioneers of the Automobile. That's why there are myriads of spares in the UK today ready for sale with us. Warranty Direct ranks Peugeot 14th out of a total listed 41 brands, based on reliability.

My guest today is debut author, David Powers King. He and Michael Jensen have a fabulous new book out called Woven. While it's audience is primarily young adult it's a story that can be enjoyed by all age groups who love fantasy.
I was a bit curious about David's writing journey and what he's learned along the way and he was sweet enough to share that with us here.
Writing is an integral part of my life. It has been for over half of my life. It started as an outlet when I was a teenager, more or less to shy away from peers and the chagrin of doing something socially awkward. I was a weird kid, so this happened a lot. It's a part of growing up, but being told so didn't change how I felt at the time. This led to allowing the opinion of others to rule me, that my self worth was graded by how others viewed me. This isn't exactly a healthy habit.
Thankfully I found an interest in writing. Movies and video games only took me so far.
Adulthood has been kinder to me, where I found my footing in studying psychology (which has helped me learn a lot about myself). And through it all, up until now, I've never stopped writing. I am at home creating characters and their worlds, displacing actual problems on fictional people, and helping them find ways to dig themselves out of their messes. This is all well and fun when I write for personal stress relief or enjoyment. It's another monster when wanting to publish it.
Me? Put my work before the masses? Subject it to public opinion? This sounds scary!
I'm still very young at this, and honored to be a traditionally published author; my first book that I co-wrote with Michael Jensen was released almost two months ago. The feedback and reviews are amazing, and I'm so very glad to know many have found enjoyment in something I made up. Some are less enthusiastic, but this helps me understand what I've heard authors say for so long:
Something along the lines of, "Write the story that you will love."
And this most important piece of advice ever, "Don't give up."
Should I combine the two, the possibilities are endless.
I bet the same can be said about your work, too.
What makes writing enjoyable for you? What's the best advice you've heard an author say? Where would you like to be in your writing journey five years from now?
Thank you for having me over for coffee, Sia!
It was my pleasure to have you visiting David and a big congratulations to both you and Michael!
All his life, Nels has wanted to be a knight of the kingdom of Avërand. Tall and strong, and with a knack for helping those in need, the people of his sleepy little village have even taken to calling him the Knight of Cobblestown.
But that was before Nels died, murdered outside his home by a mysterious figure.
Now the young hero has awoken as a ghost, invisible to all around him save one person -- his only hope for understanding what happened to him -- the kingdom's heir, Princess Tyra. At first the spoiled royal wants nothing to do with Nels, but as the mystery of his death unravels, the two find themselves linked by a secret, and an enemy who could be hiding behind any face.
Nels and Tyra have no choice but to abscond from the castle, charting a hidden world of tangled magic and forlorn phantoms. They must seek out an ancient needle with the power to mend what has been torn, and they have to move fast. Because soon Nels will disappear forever.

Elizabeth Crampton from the Citizens Advice Bureau joined us tonight giving an update on current consumer issues.
Energy Bills
There are different factors you should consider about energy tariffs to find the right one for you.
For example, you might want:
a flexible tariff that you can get out of at any time
an environmentally-friendly tariff
the cheapest tariff available. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/energy/energy-supply/get-a-better-energy-deal/switching-energy-supplier/
Financial Ombudsman
If you've made a complaint to a company about goods or services but you're not happy with the outcome, you may be able to ask an ombudsman to deal with it. An ombudsman is an independent official appointed to make decisions in disputes between individuals and companies.
Using the ombudsman is free for consumers but traders have to pay.
Digital LegacyWhen making your estate plan, consider what you want to happen with your digital legacy —that is, all of your accounts, blogs, social networking identities and digital files that will be left online when you die. Many of these items cannot be left through your will or other estate planning device because you do not actually own them. However, if you know what you'd like to have happen, you can leave meaningful instructions for your executor, who should be able to carry out your wishes.
More on all of these items and much more can be found at https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/


text: Patriots Robert Kraft Says Players Not Going to White House is No Big Deal Robert Kraft, class act as usual. Master deflector with the media still trying to stir the Deflategate pot. Looking very suave with that shirt and jacket combo as well, and don't think I didn't catch a glimpse of your typical fresh kicks. Also good to see Kraft minimizing the media's obsession with who and who isn't going to the White House, always looking after the players. Keeping politics out of it and focusing on the "sweetest" Super Bowl victory of all time, the way it should be.

- 'Are the feedback skills and knowledge in one curriculum area transferrable to another?'
- 'Are all learners able to notice and feedback on the deeper features of their peer's writing?'
- 'Is the feedback justified and interactive?'
I will monitor the learning gains that can be made with my Maori and Pacific students as they make connections between their established understandings and new learning in a different subject area. Writing could be seen as a challenge as it is a subjective, subtle and sophisticated medium. In 2015 it will be supported by ongoing school wide professional development that will provide a scaffolded platform for not only my knowledge and awareness to grow, but also that of my students.
Innovation in 2014:
I carried out a case study this year with a group of targeted Maori students in my class as part of the course requirements for the 'EDCURRIC 740: Accelerating Digital Learning' paper. The thinking behind this was that I would be able to accelerate learning in Reading by providing a platform, in this case an online forum, where the students would critically reflect on each others responses to a text and provide evidence to justify the reasons for their thinking. The aim of this intervention was to facilitate a dialogic environment where the students used the medium of discussion to become responsible for their own learning and drive their own shifts towards their next level of achievement. The link to the critical analysis has been provided for you to see the shifts made in the students thinking and achievement. Having deemed this 'tool' a success with a small group in Term 3, I introduced it to a wider audience in Term 4 that combined all of our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. It was renamed I.R.C. (Independent Reading Challenge) and through emulation, guidance and shifts in their own learning has been running successfully for the last six weeks. It is important to note here that while shifts in e-asTTle data were not significant, shifts in STAR and Probe data have been, showing the value of student agency in raising student achievement. The success came as it allowed for peer led feedback to be given and received in real time and was in context. The 'Comments' tool in Google Docs allows for a wider and more varied audience to be reached quickly, something that could definitely not be achieved without being part of a 1:1 digital environment. Additionally it has allowed the students to access their learning and feedback anytime, any where and from any place. Thus allowing the students to drive their own challenge.
This pathway of student learning was created by two students in my class. It shows how my students access their learning and how they use peer led feedback to help them have self directed reflective learning conversations as part of our 'learn-create-share' process.

Sad Cypress
by Agatha Christie
Read by David Suchet
Unabridged CD Edition
Sad Cypress is an unforgettable novel which takes the reader into realms of morbid jealousy and sickening greed.
Read ably by David Suchet, the novel is, in audio form, transformed into a chilling and engrossing drama. Under Suchet's handling, characters come alive displaying arrogance or sensitivity or hysteria in tone of voice as the situation demands.
But such vivid material as Sad Cypress needs careful handling and there is a holding back and even a pulling back in the actor's performance when this is required.
The characters in Sad Cypress stand out by their sheer ordinariness. English men and women living out ordinary lives in provincial England and with nothing but the usual clashes of viewpoints to muddy the scene.
Then an odd letter is received. The recipient is warned that there is scheming afoot and an inheritance rightfully hers might yet go astray... if a recently returned resident has her way.
Is this mischief-making and something to be ignored or is there some underlying truth to the claims? No malicious intention - just a friendly warning, from an anonymous ally? It's make-up-your-mind-time. But in any case, the seeds of doubt are sown. Peace of mind undermined indefinitely.
Sad Cypress has an ingenious plot, but is so easy to follow that the solution must be cloaked in the most expertly wrought of ambiguities and highlighted only by the most subtle clues. Christie's writing not only excels in plotting, but also in the narrative, which not for an instance fails to hold the reader's attention.

A team of 10 teachers of Tuvan and English has finished the first stage of their work at forming Tuvan-English automatic translator, a part of a large-scale Internet project run by K David Harrison, an associate professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College and a National Geographic Fellow. David Harrison is a connoisseur of Tuvan and its active promoter. The Tuvan part of work would be finished within a year, linguists believe. Earlier this year BBC reported that Facebook, YouTube and even texting will be the salvation of many of the world's endangered languages, scientists believe.
As a result of the accident, nine people were injured moderately, four killed, among which a 4-year-old and 9-year-old children.
Small woebegone figures were lying on the dirty garage floor. Legs tied up, "camo' feather pattern on the chest, and helmet-like hoods on their heads made them resemble captive soldiers. Soldiers, who have lost their war.
Speed and relentlessness
An attacking falcon represents approximately one kilogram of steel muscles and unbreakable bones, charging at a speed of more than 200 km/hour. He strikes with his whole body and claws, braking slightly at the last moment, so that he would not be crushed himself. This beautiful bird of prey has no natural enemies.
A new publication of "Olma Media Group", a book by TV journalist Sergei Brilev "Forgotten Allies in the Second World War" was at the 25th Moscow International Book Fair - Expo. In the hardcover with a volume of more than 700 pages, the international journalist tells about the part played by the "small countries-allies" of USSR, USA and Great Britain. The most attention is paid to Latin America, Africa, islands of there Caribbean Sea and Oceania, as well as to Tuva, which was independent at the time - Tuvinian People's Republic.
The book is based on declassified archival materials and interviews of the author with participants in the events.
Remember that Sergei Brilev was preparing a history series about little known allies of the "Big Three" in his informational program "News on Saturday".
The genes of Alan-Goa, the mythological great-grandmother pf Genghis Khan and his son Jochi, were discovered by Kazakh geneticists in contemporary Todzhans - descendants of "Royal" Scythians.
When I found out that my genetic tree, which was kindly worked up for me by the molecular genetics laboratory in Alma-Ata, contains the genetic group "Rib", which is typical for representatives of descendants of the Celts (Irish, Scottish, and other Western Europeans) as well as Basques and Bashkirs, I was very surprised at first, because there were no migrants from Western Europe among my ancestors.
Forest fires, that destroyed bear habitats in Tuva, forced the bears into a corner - as "Komsomolskaya pravda" informs us. Emaciated and homeless, when they gave it some thought, they took off and went on the road.
- According to information of hunters from Tuva, about 80 bears went on the move, - says Mikhail Kokorin from Kaz village. - They left their homes and are moving towards Kuzbass. Our taiga in Gornaya Shoria - that is what is drawing them.
September, 11, is the 80th birthday of Khunashtar-ool Surun-oolovich Oorzhak, a recognized Tuvan performer of Tuvan original art form - throat-singing. His name is included in the State Book of Republic Tyva "People of merit of Tuva in XX Century".
Khunashtar-ool Oorzhak was born in 1932 in Mungash-Ak village of Barun-Khemchik district. After having served in the Soviet Army, he returned to his native Mungash-Ak, and then moved to Sut-Khol kozhuun with his family. For many years, Khunashtar-ool Surun-oolovich worked as a sheep-herder. When herding his sheep in a valley, Oorzhak, just like many other herders, sang various melodies and composed his own. His singing attracted the attention of other herders and milk-maids.
Head of Tuva Sholban Kara-ool officials during a working meeting with the Vice President of "name Zijin" Lin Hongfu and Chairman of the Board of Directors of OOO "Lunsin" Lin Žujtènom officials from Chinese investors to reconstruction of roads damaged by heavy machinery. About this the press service of the Tuva Government reported.

Actually seems worse. The laptop will blank the screen on it's own, and never unblank. It seems to be running, since ctl-alt-delete will reboot it (cleanly), but this is awful otherwise.
Switching back to ACPI seems like a better idea.
Using S1 instead of S3 sleep (by editting /etc/defaults/acpi-support) doens't seem to work either.

Larry Fessenden is one of my favorite filmmakers, because not only does he create entertaining films, but they are smart, well made, and highly effective. Ever since my first experience with his early film Habit, it still remains what I would consider one of the best of modern day vampire films. So when I read the news that he was set to direct his version of Shelley's Frankenstein, a personal favorite classic monster of mine, I was more than excited.
The will be called Depraved and should start filming this month. It will be a modern day re-imagining of Shelley's tale. Now, I know we all hate the phrase "re-imagining", but in the hands of Fessenden, I am more than hopeful that it will be something highly effective and memorable. Fessenden says "I've been moved by the iconic character since childhood and it is a great thrill to try and put my version on screen."
It deals with a combat field surgeon that is dealing with his PTSD once he comes back from the Middle East. While back home in Brooklyn, he creates a man out of body parts in his homemade lab. The film will star David Call, Joshua Leonard, and Alex Breaux as the monster.
I try not to get too excited or look forward to films before they are even close to coming out, but I have to say, this one is one that I'll be counting the days until its release.

In December 2013, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) added the fishermen on horseback of Oostduinkerke on the Flemish coast of Belgium to the world list of intangible cultural heritage.
Shrimp fishing on horseback is a form of traditional craftsmanship closely connected with nature. Good knowledge of the sea, the beach and sea interface, and a high level of trust and respect for the horse are essential.
Shrimp fishing on horseback is practised in the beach and surf zone of Oostduinkerke. This seaside town has been a part of the municipality of Koksijde since 1978 and is situated on the Belgian North Sea coast, 10 kilometres from the French border.
Fishing for shrimp with a horse-drawn drag net in the shallow water is only possible on a flat, very gently sloping coastline. The Flemish Coast is also the biotope in which the grey shrimp, Crangon crangon, is found in abundance.
When fishing, the horse walks breast-deep in the water, parallel to the coastline. The fishermen use funnel-shaped nets, held open by two wooden boards. A chain is dragged over the sand creating shockwaves which cause the shrimp to jump up and be caught in the net. Pulling the net, which is 7 x 10 meters, requires the tremendous strength that Brabant draft horses provide.
Fishing is interrupted every half-hour in order to return to the beach, empty the net and sift the catch. The shrimp are then placed in the baskets that hang at the horses' sides. Later, the shrimp are cooked in fresh water.
A whole series of practices, artefacts and instruments are connected to this traditional craftsmanship, which is supported by the households and families of the shrimp fishermen and, by extension, the community of Oostduinkerke and Koksijde as a whole. It is a paradigmatic example of a dynamic and sustainable approach to nature, and to culture, that is transmitted from generation to generation.
Twelve households in Oostduinkerke are actively engaged in shrimp fishing: each has its own speciality, such as weaving nets, or an extensive knowledge of Brabant draft horses. The tradition gives the community a strong sense of collective identity and plays a central role in social and cultural events. This includes the two-day Shrimp Festival for which the local community spends months building floats, preparing street theatre and making costumes. The shrimp parade, and a contest involving hundreds of children being initiated into shrimp catching, attract over 10,000 visitors every year.
The shrimp fishers function based on principles of shared cultural values and mutual dependence. But significantly, experienced shrimpers demonstrate techniques and share their knowledge of nets, tides and currents with beginners.

Now that our little family has moved back to Colorado, we're trying to shake off the feelings of loss from moving and get excited about where we live now.
So first, let's have a little history lesson. When you first met me (first blog post, yikes!) we were living in Denver, had just had our first baby, and were really enjoying the city and mountains. We were first time parents, so there were a lot of posts like this...
Flash forward to 2014, we had the opportunity to move back to Montana. My husband and I both went to college there and we wanted to move closer to our family. Now that we had one daughter and another one on the way, we felt it would be nice to have a support system close by. The idea of living a slower life with more open space really appealed to us. And we were able to live there for two years.
Well, as the saying goes, 'the best-laid plans of mice and men, often go awry'. The office where I was working closed its doors and asked most folks to transfer. So here we are, back in Denver, Colorado.
Now that we are back, we are re-discovering all the things we loved about living in Colorado. Many of them we haven't even had a chance to do yet because of all the unpacking and new house projects we've taken on. Today I wanted to share a quick list of the things we really want to try and do now that we get a second chance at this Colorado adventure.
> drive to Moab (it's only 6 hours away!)
> hike another 14er or two (a 14,000' peak)
> go see more concerts at Red Rocks or any of the other awesome music venues in Denver
> get up into the mountains more (while trying to avoid peak traffic)
> schedule more date nights
and last, but not least
> travel more! flights out of Denver are much cheaper than Billings, MT
Any more suggestions for us? I know there are many, many more things that Colorado has to offer, so I'm anxious to get to know more about this state!

The Federal Communications Commission is set to decide whether to relax media ownership rules, in votes that could help Tribune Co. retain its common control of TV stations and newspapers in cities including Chicago and Los Angeles.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday asked for a vote to "streamline and modernize" media-ownership rules, said Tammy Sun, an agency spokeswoman.
The proposal includes allowing common ownership of a daily newspaper and a TV station in the 20 biggest cities, according to two officials briefed on the plan.
In a separate proposal, Genachowski has proposed granting Tribune, which is emerging from bankruptcy, permission to continue holding its five TV-newspaper combinations, two officials said.

Saturday Random Swatchfest 1/7/2015
Hello! On Saturday I had my usual Swatchfest and today we're going to look at the polishes. Actually, it was slightly unusual because all the polishes I shared came from my swap with Hannah Eve Nails It, so I didn't randomly chose these polishes from my untried stash. As always, if you'd like to see these polishes swatched live, enabling you to see formula, you can do so here:
Let's look at some photos:
First, I want to share one of the amazing glitters she sent me. This is
Candy Lacquer Unicorn Bubbles
. I've swatched it over Zoya Neely and it's a clear jelly base with holographic microglitters and then different sizes of rainbow-colored circle glitters. This is two coats without topcoat.
I loved all these polishes, and they're all getting top marks from me, but this was probably my favorite and received my official
mark- although a lot of them were in that same place. This is
Color Club Beyond
from the Halo Hues collection and this is just one coat! It goes on like butter and it was not difficult to get this holographic magnificence to show up on the nail.
Next up we have this amazing glitter from
Violaceous Vase
. It's a purple shimmering base and then there are multi-sized hex glitters of the same color. This one is stunning! This is two coats on its own.
Another glitter Hannah sent me is
Glisten & Glow At the Door @ 54
which is a warm pink jelly base with microglitters in silver, blue, pink, and holographic. This is two coats and I felt like the level of opacity was pretty decent. Loved it. A
The next polish I have to show you is
Orly Passion Fruit
which is a hot pink crelly and I'm showing you two coats. The picture is almost showing you how bright this is, it is neon sexiness!
Next up we're looking at
Revlon Colorstay Bold Sangria
. This is two easy coats and it applies so easily. Deep grape wine, this one is a must-have staple for your collection.
She sent me a couple Zoya polishes; the first I'm going to share with you is Zoya Blu. I've heard about the epic nature of this powder blue for a long time. This is two coats, but I nearly had it opaque at one. The formula is just so great because usually really light polishes like this can be streaky, but not this polish :) A
The next
we're going to look at is
, from the same collection. This one doesn't have quite as special of a formula as Blu, but it's rather spectacular at two coats. I love this powdery, dusty sea green.
The next polish she sent me is another
Revlon Colorstay
polish, and this one is
. This is a great pale yellow- one of the better formulas I have of light yellows. You're looking at two coats and it didn't get absolutely opaque, but it has a no-fuss formula which I like.
Last up we're going to look at the final glitter in the pack. This is
Color Club Blue Beaded
and it's a clear base packed with white and blue micro-matte-glitters. It's really special and unique and I have absolutely nothing like it :) It's super subtle, especially over Zoya Blu, but it's so cool.
That's going to be it for today. I hope you're having a great one :) See you next time!
Over and out

2012 Show Us Your Vivids Winners Announced PLUS Color Formulas!
Pravana has announced the winners to their 2012 Show Us Your Vivids Contest! See the winners below, learn their inspirations behind their styles and get the steps to their color formulas.
1st Place Winner
Amanda Stone from Tampa, Florida
Title: Colorful Bird
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this hair color/cut was a very brightly colored bird. The way the feathers lay and transitioned into each other is smooth and seamless.
TECHNIQUE: After blow drying the hair, take sections from top of the ear to the other top of ear. Split the hair into two major sections. Everything below the ear was colored with 1oz Pravana VIVIDS Blue mixed with 1/2oz VIVIDS Green. On the two longest pieces of hair, fade the Blue/Green mix into Pravana VIVIDS Magenta mixed equal parts with Wild Orchid on the ends (using an ombre technique). This completes the bottom half of head.
For the rest of the hair sectioned up above the ear, separate into 6 sections, mimicking a "pie" shape off of the top point of the head (think of how you'd cut a pizza into six even slices and slide the lines slightly vertical). Lastly, take a circular section right at the crown intersecting the 6 sections of the pie, so this section would overlay the rest of head.
Color above the left ear with VIVIDS Blue, then move toward the face. Color the next section VIVIDS Violet, then VIVIDS Magenta mixed equal parts with VIVIDS Wild Orchid, then VIVIDS Green mixed equal with VIVIDS Blue, then VIVIDS Blue, and finishing the 6th section with VIVIDS Green.
As for the last circular section at the crown use 1oz Pravana VIVIDS Blue mixed with a 1/2oz VIVIDS Green (same formula as bottom).
After rinsing the hair carefully with Pravana Hydrating Conditioner, put a small amount of Pravana RELAX and blow dry straight into place with a paddle brush.
2nd Place Winner:
Mike Reamer from Hasting, Minnesota
Title: Calm Before the Storm
INSPIRATION: "My inspiration came from the term 'calm before the storm.' If you've ever watched the movement in the sky as a thunderstorm comes in, the colors and the movement are incredible. I decided to bring this to an edgy, yet wearable hair style," says Reamer.
STEP 1: Pre-lighten to a pale yellow. Use Pravana Pure Light Power Lightener w/ 20 Vol Creme Developer.
STEP 2: New growth (roots) placed in oval sections around the head. Use 20 grams 9.22 + 20 grams 10.11 + 3 grams 1n + 5 grams Ash Blue.
STEP 3: Foils, placed in various lightning bolt patterns throughout head.
30 grams Silk Degrees Shine Treatment + 5 drops Magenta + 3 drops Pink
30 grams Silk Degrees Shine Treatment + 4 drops Blue + 5 drops Yellow + 2 drops Pink
STEP 4: Mid-lengths and ends use a color melting technique between foils. Use 60 grams Silk Degrees Shine Treatment + 16 drops Silver.
STEP 5: Style. Blow dry with a root booster, shape with paste and finish with hairspray.
3rd Place Winner:
Maria Santana from Riverside, California
Title: My Cotton Candy Ice Cream Pony
Inspiration: Cotton candy flavored ice cream
Technique: Lift to Level 9 (20 volume + Pravana Pure Light Power Lightener for 45 minutes)
Shampoo, Condition and blow dry the hair 100 percent dry.
Proceed with four bowls of Pravana VIVIDS:
1st bowl: 2oz VIVIDS Pink
2nd bowl: 1oz VIVIDS Magenta
3rd bowl: 1oz VIVIDS Magenta + 1oz VIVIDS Wild Orchid
4th bowl: contained the custom formula "Deepest Aqua Blue": 1oz of VIVIDS Green + 1/8oz of VIVIDS Blue + 1oz of no lift +1/2oz of water.
TRY IT: Start at the crown of the hair starting with the lightest color at root areas combing it through about 2 1/2 inches down, then proceed with VIVIDS Magenta barely over lapping the VIVIDS Pink - also combing downwards with the VIVIDS Magenta. Now the VIVIDS Wild Orchid formula barely overlaps the VIVIDS Magenta then combed downwards. All the ends are tipped with "Deepest Aqua Blue." The whole application is done with a tinting brush.
Once all VIVIDS are applied go to each color line and massage the colors together at the line of demarcation to blend - all hand-blended. Process for 25 minutes. Rinse for 5 minutes.
To Style: Set into a finger wave to dry for 24 hours. Comb out with a teasing brush once dry. Apply Pravana Silk Degrees Shine Serum for shine and finish with Pravana Super Shape Hair Spray for a voluminous look.


text: I have massive trouble with the FFB in Race07. I cannot get any feeling for the car. I have either no effects or fake/wrong effects. I tried many things in the past and asked many people. Asking here is my last chance to get it right... Wheel: Currently, Logitech G25 with CSP pedals. I used the original pedals for years, but about three month ago, I change to the CSPs. I also have and tried the Fanatec GT3 wheel. What is the problem: - I have no usable FFB effects under braking. Nothing which gives me feedback about the car. Normally, I assume a higher force when braking at the optimum and nearly no force when locking the tires. But the only thing I get is that: When the braking zone starts, the wheel begins to vibrate. When the braking zone ends, the vibration stops. No matter if I am braking or not or how hard I brake (I tested it by letting the car roll into the braking zone). So, all I get is a fake effect like in the first ever FFB action racing games... - In a corner, I assume to get also feedback via the FFB strength depending on the grip. The better the grip, the higher the strength. If have under-/oversteer, the FFB strength should be less. But all I get is some courious wobbles. Sometimes, in some corners, I get the FFB info I want. But most times, it's just wobbling a bit, or just no feedback at all. What did I do until now: I tried several settings in the Logitech Profiler, in the FFB settings in-game and I altered the controller set configuration file. I tried severaly configuration files, the ones from no-grip for example. But most of them have just decreased FFB values compared to the original ones. So, they have just less FFB, not better ones. I also tried the same FFB settings than I have in rFactor. But the best configuration set I got from a former teammate, there the wobbling is nearly gone and I have more grip effects in the corner. But I am still missing usefull feedback under braking (which also affects turn-in)... Can someone help me? Maybe provide a controller set configuration file, please (which is not one of the files from NoGrip - I know them). BTW: It is not the hardware! As stated above, I tried also the Fanatec GT3. It's the same with that wheel. And I have very good FFB in rFactor and iRacing. And to avoid discussions about FFB in rF compared to Race07 in advance (I know there will be some comments, as usual... :wink: YES, original FFB in rF is crap, too! BUT rF reacts much better to changes in the config file and if you really try you get a very good FFB, even without RealFeel or Leo plug-in! :wink: So, if you have no good FFB in rF, you haven't tried... :wink: Oh, and YES, I tried to get better FFB effects in Race07 for month - but still searching... Asking here is my last hope... :eek: Edit: I added the control set I currently use, if someone want to try.

Sir Edmund Saunders (d. 1683), Les Reports du Tres Erudite Edmund Saunders … des Divers Pleadings et Cases en le Court del Bank le Roy (2 vols.; London, 1686).
Edmund Saunders authored the best law reports of the late 17th century, known for their accuracy and clarity. They set out the pleadings and give concise summaries of the facts, issues, arguments, and judgment. The overriding focus of the reports is with the law of pleading, at which Saunders was the acknowledged master. Later on, Saunders' Reports was translated and annotated and became a classic textbook on pleading, although Saunders' own text had largely disappeared by its last edition in 1871.
"Within the first decade after the Restoration there are several new reports, extending for the most part over the remainder of the Stuart period. Chief among them is Saunders (1666-73), who is universally conceded to be the most accurate and valuable reporter of his age. His work is confined to the decisions of the King's Bench between the eighteenth and twenty-fourth years of the reign of Charles II. Saunders participated as counsel in most of the cases, and he reports them with admirable clearness. In general his reports resemble Plowden's; but they are much more condensed. He gives the pleadings and entries at length, and follows in regular order with a concise statement of the points at issue, the arguments of counsel, and a clear statement of the grounds of the judgment. The work was subsequently enriched by the learned annotations of Sergeant Williams." – Van Vechten Veeder, "The English Reports, 1292-1865," 15 Harvard Law Review 1, 15 (1901).
Edmund Saunders' life is one of the few rags-to-riches stories of English law. Born into abject poverty, he taught himself to be a clerk and eventually entered the Middle Temple. His skill as a special pleader earned him a lucrative practice, but he lived simply. A contemporary, Roger North, described him as a heavy drinker and "a fetid mass that offended his neighbors at the bar in the sharpest degree." He was kind, witty, honest, and idolized by law students: "I have seen him for hours … with an audience of students over against him, putting of cases and debating so as suited their capacities and encouraged their industry."

Summer 2012
I started with dying levis and cutting them off.
And dipping them in bleach
I put patches on and behind
I decorated denim Jackets and Vests. Americana was in this summer for some reason I can't figure out.
I made hundreds of t-shirts into tank tops with the help of my co-worker Kate!
Leading into Fall ...
We have lots of denim so we made some fanny packs
and some big bags
My friend Frieda made some Pendleton Wool bags from some lovely unused wool that came in.
Just recently recycled a cabin cozy HBC blanket + leather belts = back pack.
And a new discovery: Camo pants = back pack with built in pockets!
Sweaters = Mittens!
Since I work 9-5 I spend most of my creative energy these days on work projects. I have been able to do some commissions for friends this year as well and I've been brainstorming for my own line of bags which I hope to get going in the near future.

we're down to the last days before christmas.
all my shopping is completed
and i feel relatively peaceful and calm
during this holiday season.
compared to previous years at least.
the flip side of that peace and calm is
we have very few decorations up this year,
some ornaments are still in the box. waiting.
no cookies are made (yet)
and i have not sewn
all the things i had planned to.
sometimes i'm hard on myself and
think that i should do more.
but i decided to do it differently this year
and not push myself to the limit.
i think my family might be enjoying
a less stressed mama
and i've lost 3 lbs!
with all the extra exercise
and less stress eating!

Mozilla Firefox 0.9 Release Candidate released today!! Oh, I mean yesterday. Or maybe my time zone here is a bit different. Or maybe I'm a little late. Neil Turner already had a tour, much earlier than I do. I took my time to download it, since it's only 4.7Mb, very much smaller than Firefox 0.8. The installation went on smoothly, as expected. As always, I'm impressed with the speed of Firefox. I had a tour around this release candidate and don't worry, I won't be repeating what Neil wrote on his tour. I am more focused on the delicate details.
Focusing on other details, the Portrait and Landscape icons are missing from the Page Setup window. They are also missing from the toolbar of the Print Preview window. Maybe Kevin Gerich hasn't created them yet. Thinking about it, I wonder if these icons are redundant. Somehow the Page Setup window looks very clean without them. Also note that Internet Explorer doesn't have such icons, though.
Moving on to the Options window, I don't see anything special. One thing that got my attention is the twisties, the plus or minus sign that expands or abstracts certain interface elements. In previous Firefox builds, the twisties are plain grey-and-white images, which doesn't follow the native twisties of the operating system. In this build, I could see that the Mozilla developers changed the image into a new one, looks slightly similar with the Luna twisties. It looks good, blended with some Winstripe colours, but not yet native-looking.
Next are the new Themes and Extensions manager windows. Both look quite the same to me, except that the iconised buttons don't feel native on Windows. Oddly enough, the icons of the buttons doesn't even feel like Winstripe. The icons look dull, painted with incorrect colours. I supposed those are pre-release icons? Created by Ben Goodger, I guess?
Overall, I'm satisfied with Winstripe. I like its simplicity. Well done indeed. I hope it can be improved further, to satisfy other Firefox users too. Firefox 0.9 will be great!

BOSTON (Reuters Life!) - An organization in which each person is doing well in their own little silo but not working together and sharing knowledge is probably not living up to potential, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (http:\\www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"If you do your job well, and everyone else does their jobs well, everyone succeeds, right? Wrong. In fact, in any organization, it's not only important that everyone do what they are supposed to — everyone also needs to work together.
Don't let a silo mentality take over your company. Recognize that you are all responsible for each other's work and if there is a problem anywhere in the organization, everyone fails.
Refuse to allow people to go to their separate corners. Encourage people to meet regularly to share what they are learning. Have the courage to call out when one part of the organization is struggling and find a way to fix it together."
-Today's management tip was adapted from "Solving Your Organization's Open-Faced Sandwich" by Peter Bregman."

Yeast Infection Common Causes
If you've ever had a yeast infection, you know how memorable they can be. Particularly if you got your first as a teenager and didn't have a clue as to how to get rid of it – leave a candida infection untreated for long enough and the vaginal itching and burning can almost drive you mad. Fortunately, we've come a long, long way in terms of yeast infection treatment. When I was a teenager, you needed 7 or so days of vaginal suppositories to get rid of the itch and burn – and that stuff was messy, too, let me tell you. Today, however, you can treat yourself with prescription-strength, one-day creams available in any grocery store. All the same, preventing vaginal thrush is always better than having to treat it. Read on for more info on what causes yeast infections so you can avoid getting them.
What is a yeast infection?
Candidiasis is the technical term for yeast infections / vaginal thrush. It's caused by an overgrowth of candida albicans, which is a perfectly normal fungus living in the vaginal area. If the yeast starts to multiply for some reason, it can get out of hand and turn into what we call a candida infection.
Yeast Infection Help
Candidiasis is the technical term for yeast infections / vaginal thrush. It's caused by an overgrowth of candida albicans, which is a perfectly normal fungus living in the vaginal area. If the yeast starts to multiply for some reason, it can get out of hand and turn into what we call a candida infection.
Things that cause yeast infections
Antibiotics : Unfortunately, if you've recently been on a bout of antibiotics, you might be primed for a yeast infection. This is because antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately, and may kill the bacteria keeping the vaginal yeast in check. If the candida starts to multiply quickly, you could end up with a vaginal thrush.
Tight panties : Your vagina needs to breathe. It's not meant to be cooped up in tight panties 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'm not telling you to go commando to work or school, but you may want to consider sleeping that way once in a while (or more frequently, if you are prone to frequent infections.) Also, cotton panties are better than silk or satin panties, as the latter two do not absorb moisture well, which can create the perfect warm/moist environment for yeast to multiply in.
- Tampons : Believe it or not, traditional tampons are treated with bleach and other chemicals and pesticides which can cause unpleasant reactions in your vagina. This can lead to irritation and an imbalance in natural flora. If you insist on using tampons, consider using organic tampons to avoid these chemicals -- and if you want to avoid the TSS risk at the same time, consider trying a fabulous Mooncup menstrual cup.
Condoms/Spermicides : Some women, like myself, are allergic to both spermicides and latex. This makes us a personal favorite of candida, which can often flourish after contact with either one. If you have this issue, see my article on latex-free condoms so you can avoid this situation whilst still engaging in safe sex.
Chemicals : Some chemicals can irritate the vagina, leading to an overgrowth of yeast. Personally, I have to be careful with certain bubble baths – if they are natural, everything's cool. If it's something overly commercial, hello yeast infection. The same goes for colored or scented toilet paper, scented pads and tampons, etc.
Hormonal imbalance : Anyone with a whacked out set of hormones is more prone to getting yeast infections. Pregnant women, women receiving hormone injections, or treatments for other types of illness. If you sense a yeast infection coming on due to one of these issues, you may want to start treatment in the early stages to prevent it getting out of hand – but you may also want to wait and see if the problem auto-corrects once your hormones get back in line.
Sexual contact : You can get a yeast infection from your sexual partner, whether heterosexual or homosexual. Yes, you read that right: Men can get yeast infections. So if you've got one, it's best to treat both you and your partner at the same time.

won't boot shows either battery logo or apple logo
my 3gs won't boot/startup to the home screen
itunes picks it up shows capacity etc etc
After holding down the power + home button, i tired restoring it seemed to work but rebooted then was stuck on apple logo then showed red battery with lighting bolt then shows apple logo again.
It does not seem to be taking or holding charge
I tested what google told me was the battery fuse for continuity and also the two charging fuses and they are not blown.
Tried restarting computer with iphone plugged in, plugging iphone in while holding home button, holding my tounge the right way etc
The phone is completely stripped down at the moment. How can i charge the battery by itself (battery out of phone) can i just cut a usb cord and put the power straight onto the battery terminals?
Is this a good question?
the apple logo come and go

The alert have taken note that the failure of Washington Mutual, which looks increasingly likely, would consume the FDICs reserves and, as in the savings and loan crisis, force the agency to go hat in hand to Congress for more money.
But this is comparatively early in our burgeoning banking crisis for the bulwark of commercial banks to be tested. Worse, the concern is that uninsured depositors will flee weak banks, and in process, push more over the edge.
Many readers might think there is no reason for anyone to be so exposed. It's easy to divide one's deposits across many banks to remain below the $100,000 limit, right?
Not if you are a business. Many firms carry more than $100,000 in balances over the course of a month, particularly if they have a healthy payroll. And the requirements of payroll processing in particularly make it prohibitively expensive to operate multiple accounts. Although the Financial Times article does not address that issue, it does discuss that it may be necessary to increase the scope of FDIC insurance in this nervous environment.
From the Financial Times:
Attention has focused on the danger presented by the failure of Lehman Brothers. But the failure of a commercial bank such as Washington Mutual can have systemic consequences if it threatens a run on other weak banks….
The failure of a bank its size would test the strength of the US deposit insurance system and its ability to maintain the confidence of the nation's savers.
The US Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation covers the first $100,000 in deposits held by each individual in a given bank. As of June 30, 64 per cent of the total $7,000bn deposits were insured in the US – a much larger proportion than in the UK at the time when Northern Rock. the commercial bank, failed.
Nonetheless, this still leaves $2,500bn in uninsured deposits. If a high-profile failure causes these uninsured deposits to shift abruptly in a flight to safety, it could be highly destabilising for the banking system.
The US could be forced to adopt a de facto blanket guarantee on all bank deposits, as the UK did on a temporary basis during the Northern Rock crisis.
There are other precedents. At the start of the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s, the International Monetary Fund opposed extending deposit guarantees. But the IMF soon changed tack and told crisis-hit countries to issue full guarantees.
A formal blanket guarantee in the US would require legislation. But under a 1991 law, the FDIC could seek a systemic risk exemption to cover all the deposits of a failing institution, subject to the approval of its board, a supermajority of the Federal Reserve governors, and the Treasury secretary in consultation with the president.
The FDIC has no desire to invoke this authority…
The FDIC is respected for its operational effectiveness. But its $45bn deposit insurance fund is underfunded according to its own guidelines,….analysts fear it may have to draw on its $70bn Treasury credit lines. Alan Avery, a partner at Arnold and Porter, said a single failure – if big enough – "would cause the FDIC to immediately draw on the Treasury credit".
Washington Mutual had $143bn in insured deposits on June 30 – about three times the size of the deposit insurance fund, but less than half of its $307bn assets.
