Red Wings' Datsyuk practices in non-contact jerseyby NHL.com Staff
Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk joined practice Thursday wearing a gray non-contract jersey.
Datsyuk seemed to be passing and shooting the puck well, MLive.com reported.
Datsyuk suffered a separated shoulder in the Red Wings' preseason opener, Sept. 22 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He's expected to miss another 2-3 weeks recovering.
The Red Wings open the season Oct. 9 against the Boston Bruins. If Datsyuk is out another three weeks, he would miss the Red Wings' first six games, returning Oct. 23.
Forward Tomas Tatar didn't skate Thursday as a precaution after he was shaken up late in a 2-0 preseason loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. Tatar passed a concussion test after the game, according to MLive.com.
"The protocol with concussions is he's not available to us. I talked to [Tatar] this morning and he's feeling fine," coach Mike Babcock said.

Superman's Lost Century
8 comments:
Amazing Curt Swan sequences here! Those first three panels on page 2 -- what a great sequence -- and it is just someone having a nightmare with no actual nightmare visuals. Genius! I know it might break the rules, but the swan/Williamson Clark Kent Gets Fired trilogy -- Superman Vol. 1 410, 411 and 413 -- would be very cool to show one day. That was Curt as his best, especially since he knew at the time Williamson was doing the inks.ReplyDelete
What I find interesting there is that Supes sleeps on a flimsy put-me-up in his own fortress of solitude, and not, like, an actual bed. Has Supergirl moved in and taken over the main bedroom? I bet he's got no wardrobe space now either.ReplyDelete
Actually never read those issues you mention, by the way, must redress that.
The issues were just before the Crisis crossover. Just gorgeous stuff. Seeing Clark have to carry his stuff out was an especially effective page. It was all to prevent the fact that Superman was seeing menaces that weren't there, thanks to battle suit Luthor. Clark Kent's job (and journalistic credentials) was expendable compared to Superman's reputation.ReplyDelete

So, let me get this straight then - not only did an entire society evolve from basically the stone age to the social and technological level of the mid to late twentieth century and nuclear war in less than a lifetime... but it then devolved back again?!?ReplyDelete
They don't write 'em like that anymore. Cheers Pete, enjoyed it a lot.
I particularly liked those natty pinstripe strides - DC should have kept those for Supes' regular costume.
Btw, if we're referring to later stories, this did make me wonder if it had been an influence on Steranko's Exile at the Edge of Eternity from Superman 400.
Whoa! Now THAT'S the kind of one-shot crazy storytelling I've been missing!ReplyDelete

Between emails, comments on the articles I write, and various forms of messages on social media (like the AWR Facebook page), I get asked a scary amount of questions on a daily basis.
Most of these questions tend to be about diet and fitness related topics, while others are sometimes about me or the site itself.
Since many of them seem to come up over and over (and over) but don't actually warrant a full article to answer, I figured it would be a good idea to put together an ongoing collection of these common questions along with my answers to them.
Let the fun begin…
FAQ About Weight Training And Workouts
1. Can you critique my workout routine? Here's the split I use, the exercises, sets, reps and rest periods. Is this workout good for me?
Sorry, but no. This is unfortunately something I don't do. It's nothing personal of course. It's just way too time consuming to go through every detail of your workout and provide the proper feedback. So, it's just one of those things I always avoid doing. Sorry.
Of course, this is why I wrote the weight training guide (check it out: The Ultimate Weight Training Workout Routine). Read it. All of your questions will be answered there in more detail than I could ever provide in a quick email or comment response.
It's also why I wrote The Best Workout Routines. Simply using a proven program from that book would be a fantastic idea.
2. Why do you use Romanian deadlifts instead of conventional deadlifts in The Muscle Building Workout Routine?
The conventional deadlift is by far the hardest exercise to program because A) it trains so much of the lower and upper body (legs, back, etc.) and there's a ton of overlap to consider and adjust for, and B) it's more taxing on the body as a whole than any other exercise.
The RDL, on the other hand, is really just a posterior chain exercise (hamstrings, glutes, and some lower back), so it's much less likely to interfere anywhere else as long as it's properly programmed. The conventional deadlift is sort of the opposite of this, which is why I tend to go with RDLs by default in most of the muscle building programs I design… especially ones that use an upper/lower split.
I'm certainly not against using the conventional deadlift in hypertrophy oriented routines, though. It's just that the RDL often fits better and still provides the needed training stimulus. So, I prefer it.
On a related note, if you happen to prefer the SLDL over the RDL, you can do it. It's a similar-enough movement to the RDL that this substitution should be fine.
3. There's no direct upper trap work in The Muscle Building Workout Routine. Can I add some shrugs or something?
Yes, you can. This is one of the few additions I'm cool with making to this program. So if you'd like to, I recommend adding 3 sets of 8-10 reps of shrugs to the end of ONE of the upper body workouts (whichever one you prefer). Or, if you'd rather not put it there, another option is to add it to the end of the Lower Body A workout instead (same day as deadlifts).
4. I work out at home and don't have access to anything but free weights. What should I do when one of your workouts calls for an exercise I'm unable to do?
That's easy. Just replace the exercise you can't do with the most similar exercise you can do. To help you do this, here's a list of the most common exercises that people who train at home will need replacements for along with my suggestions for what those replacements should be.
- Lat Pull-Down
This would ideally be replaced with some form of pull-up or chin-up. However, that assumes you actually have a bar to do them from. If you do, that's the best option. If you don't, some type of band pull-down (like this, albeit a little slower) is one possible option to consider. Otherwise, you can just do another rowing movement (e.g., bent over dumbbell rows). However, to place more emphasis on your lats (like lat pull-downs would), keep your elbows tucked in close to your sides and pull the weight more toward your hips/lower stomach rather than your upper stomach/chest.
- Seated Cable Row
This can be replaced with any similar rowing exercise for the back (bent over barbell rows, bent over dumbbell rows, t-bar rows, inverted rows, band rows, etc.).
- Triceps Pushdown
This can be replaced with any other triceps isolation exercise (some kind of band pushdown, an overhead dumbbell extension, etc.).
- Leg Press
This would ideally be replaced with front squats. If preferred, some type of lunge variation or step-up would also be fine (even something like goblet squats could work).
- Leg Curl
Now this one will be a little trickier to replace, but there are a couple of "home-friendly" options. For example: this, this and this.
Some additional advice about training at home can be found here: How To Build Muscle At Home
FAQ About Diet, Nutrition And Supplementation
1. Can you critique my diet? Here are the meals I eat, every single food I eat in each meal, the amount of calories, protein, carbs and fat in each food and each meal total plus my totals for the day. Is this diet good for me?
Sorry, but no. This is another thing I don't do. It's nothing personal of course. It's just too time consuming to go through every detail of your diet and provide the proper feedback. So, it's just one of those things I always avoid doing. Sorry.
Of course, this is why I wrote the diet guide (check it out: The Best Diet Plan). Read it. All of your questions are answered there in more detail than I could ever provide in a quick email or comment response.
2. What supplements do you take?
- Whey Protein (Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey)
- Fish Oil (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega)
- Creatine (Optimum Nutrition Creatine)
- Vitamin D (NOW Foods Vitamin D3)
- Calcium
- Multivitamin
3. Is creatine a steroid?
4. [insert 1000 other questions about creatine here]
Read this: The Ultimate Guide To Taking Creatine
5. What do you think about Supplement XYZ? Does it really work? Should I take it? When? How? Why?
Thanks to the fine people over at Examine.com, I no longer feel the need (or really, have the interest) to answer most questions about most supplements.
Instead, it's much easier for me (and much more beneficial for you) to simply recommend that you either download The Supplement-Goals Reference Guide (ideal for people who want an insane amount of comprehensive data) or their supplement Stack Guides (ideal for people who just want quick and simple instructions, which is probably most people).
Regardless of which you choose, you'll get the science-backed answer to virtually every question you'll ever have about any supplement for any goal or purpose. I have both.
FAQ About Me Or The Site
1. Who are you?
I'm the fitness guru Gotham needs me to be.
2. Why is this site called A Workout Routine? I guess it makes sense, but it's still kinda weird, isn't it?
The shorter version of the story goes like this. I wanted to write a huge step-by-step mega guide to designing the best weight training routine for your specific goal, experience level, needs and preferences. So, to be both descriptive and cute about it, I decided to put this whole guide to designing "a workout routine" on site called AWorkoutRoutine.com.
See… descriptive and cute. And originally, that guide was all this site was going to be.
But, it ended up being so popular and well received that – combined with the fact that there was still A TON of additional stuff to cover – I just kept going and the site became something much bigger than I had originally intended.
So now the site is a lot more than just a guide to creating "a workout routine," but the "A Workout Routine" name still stands. So it's still semi-weird, but at least the story behind it makes sense, right?
3. I sent you an email/left a comment like 8 minutes ago, and you still haven't replied. What the hell?!?!?
Hi. In case you aren't aware, I don't actually sit around responding to comments and emails 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So on occasion, it may take a little bit of time (sometimes hours, sometimes days) before I respond. Relax.
4. I sent you an email/left a comment and you never responded ever! What the hell?!?!?
As I mentioned at the beginning of this, I get a lot of email, messages and comments every day.
And while I promise that I'll ALWAYS read 100% of your feedback and compliments (and appreciate the hell out of it), and I promise that I really do go out of my way to respond to as many questions as I possibly can, it's sometimes just not possible for me to reply to all of it. Try as I might, there are only so many hours in a day.
So please understand that if I don't reply, it's not because I don't like you or because I thought your question was stupid. It's because I just didn't have the time to.
At this point I'd guess I probably still respond to about 80-90% of it. If you ask me, that seems pretty good and better than most, I'd think.
5. How can I make it more likely that you'll respond to my email/comment/message?
Nothing special really, although paragraphs and periods certainly help. I'm not saying it needs to look like a homework assignment or anything (and I know English isn't everyone's first language), but when I get giant blocks of completely unformatted text, it makes me want to bang my head into a wall.
Or, at the very least, skip it and go on to the next one.
And keeping your question as short and sweet as possible would help too (ie: I probably won't need your entire life story to answer your question about protein intake or shoulder exercises or whatever).
Oh, and for the love of all humanity, please do not post the same thing in more than one location. Meaning, don't ask your question in a comment on the site, then in a comment and/or message on the Facebook page, and then in an email to me. That shit is annoying as hell.
6. Do you offer any kind of online coaching service where I could pay you to work with me directly?
Nope, I don't. But if you're looking for something like this, I'd highly recommend checking out my buddy JC Deen. He provides some damn fine coaching, and I think you'll find that we agree on pretty much everything diet/training related. Feel free to check out some of his articles or just go straight to filling out his coaching form. He gets my full approval.
7. I want to send you progress pictures. Can I? And if so, what's the best way to do it? Your contact form won't let me attach them.
Yes, you can definitely send me progress pictures. I will never get tired of seeing those.
As for how to do it, you have 3 options. You can fill out the contact form, wait for me to reply, and then attach your pictures to that reply. Or, you can upload them to one of the many free image hosts and then just include the link when filling out the contact form. Or, you can send them to me through a private message on the Facebook page.
8. Hi. My name is [fitness guru you may have heard of] and I wanted to know if you'd be interested in promoting my fat loss/muscle building book, program or product?
No thanks.
9. But I'll pay you all kinds of money and commissions! This will be a joint venture that will be highly lucrative for both of us! All of the biggest fitness people on the internet are doing it and making tons of money.
Fuck off.
10. Would you be interested in selling the site?
See previous answer.
11. I love the site and it has been extremely helpful to me. I'd love to be able to donate some cash your way. Is that cool?
I know this one sounds made up, but I swear I've gotten it before… a surprising number of times actually. So first and foremost, thanks. It's flattering as hell and I'm extremely appreciative of it. Seriously. Thank you.
However, as awesome as it is that anyone would ever make this sort of offer, I just don't feel comfortable accepting it. I'd MUCH rather you donate that money to your favorite charity instead. If you want some guidance, go with a charity that involves animals. Animals > people any day of the week.
But if you do insist on throwing some support my way, my only suggestion is that you share the site/articles on Facebook, Twitter, etc., link to relevant articles on forums or reddit or wherever (ONLY when and if it makes sense to do so… don't be an annoying spammer or anything), and just spread the word.
And obviously if I happen to come out with some kind of product of my own (like Superior Fat Loss or Superior Muscle Growth), you're welcome to buy it.
Beyond that, if you're using any of the info or advice on the site, I'd love to hear how well your progress is going. Your success story is a damn fine way of supporting the site.
12. You mention studies from time to time, but you only cite the specific study you're referencing maybe 50% of the time. Why don't you do it 100% of the time?
Honestly, it's mostly just laziness on my part. If I had to include a reference for every single research-backed thing I write, I'd probably just stop writing. It's just this extra step to the writing process that I find a bit annoying and makes me feel like I'm doing homework (and as every one of my high school teachers will tell you, I'm not exactly a fan of homework).
But, when the study I'm referencing is a big part of the article, the entire reason for the article, a big part of the point I'm making, or it allows me to provide some legitimate proof about something that I know some people may not believe without showing scientific evidence, then I usually cite the study somewhere in the article. Otherwise, I usually just leave it out.
If there happens to be a specific study I've mentioned that you'd like to see, feel free to ask. I have a pretty big collection of stuff (thank you, Evernote) and can usually track it down for ya.
13. When I subscribe via email, are you going to spam me with all kinds of annoying crap every day?
No! I know exactly what you're referring to and I promise that will never happen. Not even a little. You have my full permission to punch me in the balls if it does.
I know what it's like to sign up for some diet/fitness email list thing and then get 50 emails a week filled with the most annoying spammy garbage known to man. I know what it's like to get 20 sales emails every time someone's buddy puts out a new shitty ebook. It sucks, I know.
That kind of thing will never happen here. I currently send out AT MOST 1 email per week (in fact, it's usually more like 2 emails per MONTH) letting you know when I've written a new article or created some new huge guide for you to check out or something useful like that. Nothing more… ever.
14. I noticed you sometimes say some bad words. For example: shit, shitty, bullshit, horseshit and even the occasional fuck. I don't like that. I feel your information is great but that type of language hurts your credibility and is very unprofessional. Can you stop doing it?
I'm totally cool with the fact that you may not use words like this, but I sometimes do. I don't consider them "bad words" per se. I consider them useful and descriptive words just like any other, and sometimes they are the perfect choice for helping me get my point across.
I mean, if I'm writing about some bullshit diet myth, that just seems like a mighty fine time to use the word "bullshit" to describe it. If that makes me seem less credible to you or hurts your feelings or whatever else… I apologize.
You're more than welcome to never read a single thing I write ever again if it's that big of an issue for you. I won't take it personally.
You may also want to cancel your HBO, see only PG rated movies, and cover your ears when talking to 99% of the population.
And also, fuck fuck shit fuck. 😉
FAQ About Miscellaneous Stuff
1. Can you answer my questions about a specific injury issue?
As much as I'd love to help you, and as much as I've tried to put some good general injury information out there (like How To Avoid Shoulder Injuries and 17 Ways To Prevent Elbow Pain, How To Maintain Muscle While Injured, The 9 Phases Of Weight Lifting Injuries, etc.), it's just impossible to diagnose injuries over the internet or give any specific individualized advice based on your description alone.
So no, I can't tell you what caused it, what's still causing it, why you're experiencing pain, what you can do to fix it, if you can/should still be doing certain things, if you can/should avoid certain things, or any of the other 50 injury related questions people ask me.
Can I take my best guess? Yup. Will I be right? Maybe. But "maybe" isn't something I'm comfortable with when it comes to injuries, so I completely avoid trying.
Plus, while I may know quite a bit about certain injuries (mainly elbows and shoulders), you should keep in mind that I am not a doctor, or a physical therapist, or really anyone truly qualified as an injury expert in the first place.
My only real advice is to go and find someone who fits this description and see them in person.

How excessive rotation can destroy cohesion
There are times in football when certain opinions are formed without having concrete evidence to support them – except statistics which we all know can often be misleading. One such observation which comes to mind is the possibility that managers, including Sir Alex Ferguson, may have taken the practice of squad rotation a little too far resulting in a lack of team cohesion. Manchester United has certainly shown plenty of consistency in the Premier League, suffering just a single defeat, but there can be little argument that many of those performances have left much to be desired.

Kristy's EXAM TIPS that WORK!
Posted by Kristy Rackham on Sunday, September 23, 2012 Under: Study Tips & Info
Hello fellow students!
Ahhh its that time again... the testing exam period where we get to 'prove' to the powers that be that we know our stuff. Well, that's one way of looking at it. I prefer to perceive exams as an opportunity to see how much I've learned, and where I may have weaknesses that I can bring up to speed in the future. If we go in hating the exam, its more than likely the exam will hate us back!!
Like everything, our perception determines our experience. If we resent exams and the people who create them, we are more likely to suffer from unnecessary stress. When we can allow and accept the exam as another opportunity for growth, the emphasis changes, and the experience can be (dare I say it?!) a pleasant one!
There are heaps of ways to prepare for exams from a practical, content focused perspective, and these are definitely helpful to solidify the learning of the Semester. BUT, what about rest, relaxation and readiness? Not so many people value these things as legitimate for exam preparation. However, there are literally HUNDREDS of peer reviewed studies that show reducing our stress levels has a direct impact on our brain's capacity to retain information.
So... here's what I do to prepare for my exams... you might like to give it a go. Afterall, you've got nothing to lose, and a different perspective to gain that might just help you shift exams from dreaded to do-able!
- Each morning before starting your study, do a short 5 minute intention-setting meditation.
Sit calmly and breathe, allow thoughts of negative self-talk to drift in and out of your body with your breath. Then set your intention to retain all information that you will learn from your revision today. Intention is as easy as repeating "My brain retails all accurate information about 'Anatomy' easily and effectively for use when and how I want". Then, visualise yourself confidently answering the exam questions.
There are tonnes of meditations and a detailed step by step on how to do this in the book Head Space-meditate your way to study success'. Grab your copy here.
- Drink plenty of fresh filtered water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it. The water will hydrate your brain cells minimising fatigue, the lemon tastes great and helps to alkalise your body and eliminates toxins to fwr your body operating more efficiently.
- Take a look at your diet. If your diet is heavy in sugar, saturated fats, excess caffeine and alcohol, or you are skipping meals, not including fresh and/or uncooked produce, you are probably very nutrient deficient. In this state, our bodies are too busy working on maintaining homoeostasis to be able to focus on absorbing info. Add a daily Omega 3 supplement and a multi-vitamin to your diet (let me know if you want my suggestion for a great brand with high bioavailability), eat lots of fresh fruit and vegies, lean protein, and limit sugary foods and drinks.
- Schedule time to relax - breathing fresh air, a leisurly walk, and giving your eyes a rest from the computer screen will help you relax and let go of pent up stress. Doing anything you love can help you to relax. I'ts important because when we are stressed, our brain does not retain information.
- Do not delay bedtime and fool yourself that the cramming will help. Going to bed anwhere near midnight will turn your brain into a pumpkin! Allow yourself a solid 8 hours sleep on the night before and you will wake feeling refreshed and alert.
- Eat a dinner full of Omega 3 oils like cold water fish and live food such as salad. This will supply the nutrients your body needs to function properly during the exam.
- Avoid too much alcohol or caffeine on the night before so that your sleep is not either artificially induced (drunk!) or disrupted making you stressed because you cant get to sleep (caffeine).
- Get your gear ready in advance. Most exams are electronically managed these days so you will need at 2 x 2B pencils, a sharpener and an eraser, a couple of black ballpoint pens, correction tape, a bottle of filtered water with lemon juice in it (the lemon also helps to keep you alert!), a jacket in case the exam room is cold, rescue remedy, lavender oil, and your student ID ready to go. Boy scouts know that it helps to 'be prepared'! It reduces stress!
- EAT BREAKFAST! Try to include a good protein, fresh (live) food such as fruit, but avoid saturated fats. A healthy smoothy is a great option as it is light, quick to prepare and you can add all the good stuff in one dish!
- Take your Rescue Remedy every 15 minutes for 2 hours before the exam starts. If you feel the nerves rising in your tum, take another dose (you cannot have too much of this, its safe).
- Get there AT LEAST 1/2 hour before the nominated entry time. Find a space away from friends and sit quietly (maybe find a comfy tree to rest against) and do a short breathing meditation, then visualise yourself being alert, confident and flying through the exam with ease. There's an excellent visualisation in Head Space that helps with recalling info.
- Go to the toilet before the exam. There's nothing worse that the distraction of a full bladder!
- READ THE QUESTION FULLY AND SLOWLY so that you properly understand what the question is asking for.
- If you don't know an answer right away, put a BIG "?" next to it, pass and go to the next question. This way you will not run out of time for the answers that you're sure of. Go back to the ?'s when you've finished answering the ones you know for sure.
- ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS, even if you are not sure of the answer. In these instances, if we can get out of our own way, intuition can provide information that we may not be consciously aware of and get us a few extra marks where we would otherwise not.
- When finished, take a few minutes to BREATHE... focus on your breath flowing into your body with brilliant white light, and exiting through the bottom of your feet, taking your nerves with it. Then, go back and review your answers. RE-READ THE QUESTION to make sure you have answered it correctly and completely. If you still are not sure... try not to second guess yourself. If you're still not confident that your answer is correct and there is not a more obvious response, trust your first response and move on.
- Leave the exam knowing that you have done your best, and LET IT GO. Take some time out for yourself (that means alone!) after the exam to de-compress and regroup before getting on with your day. Getting out in nature is great for this.
Most importantly, if you've done the work, its time to TRUST YOURSELF. You can only do what you can do, and it will be enough! The information is 'in there' whether you're conscious of it or not. Trust your brain to bring the info forward when you need it.
There are a lot of great meditations and methods in my book that will really help you to have faith in your capacity to 'do this' and make the most of your learning experience.
Don't forget, I'm in this with you! My nursing exams are just 2 weeks away, so I know how it is! If you need a hand, please get the book, register for the FREE virtual classroom where you can access member only meditation downloads, and shoot me an email if you have any questions.
I'd say good luck, but you don't need it!!
Peace out.

Equifax Creates Website Specifically to Help Those Impacted By Data Breach
Following requests by U.S. Senators Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Dean Heller (R-NV), Equifax has gone live with a website with tools specifically for service members who may have been impacted by the recent data breach at the company. In September 2017, Donnelly and Heller sent a letter to Equifax asking the company to detail actions being taken to protect service members' personal information. The Senators requested specific measures to ensure the financial security of the roughly 1.3 million active-duty U.S. military personnel, including nearly 200,000 stationed overseas, some of whom serve in remote or high-conflict areas in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

Scattered notes on life. Maintaining the connection with the long views: poetry, history, literature, friendship, love; distant echoes of Principia Ethica. Worries about the way we live now, connecting a private happiness with a public concern - can pomposity be avoided?

Philadelphia that the spiders ate
I guess it is my country background that makes me wince to see fields turned into suburbs. A strange, alarming sight. I never had to work on fields in any serious way but I still felt their importance in my boyhood. Not a long time had passed then, almost none at all. I suppose that names of the fields are one of the biggest groups of place names in Finland - how many names now forgotten, buried by streets or overgrown by trees? So much sweat, so many generations, so many tales. Now gone. A whole culture, a world has passed during the life time of my parents, their world, their culture. In Southern Ostrobothnia that is: in one generation we moved from agriculture into service industry and high technology. In many ways it has been all for the best, but not in all cases, not at all. So much of the world of my childhood now eaten by spiders, so much long gone that once seemed so permanent. We are like grass. Of course things are immeasureably better now, but this mad, blind change does not inspire much trust in it's long term direction. There is no memory and no control, only change.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a common digital security measure used to enable the secure transmission of data between client and server. SSL is the predecessor to modern Transport Layer Security (TLS) which is frequently used throughout the internet. SSL and TLS are most frequently used in web servers and mail servers to protect user data such as login credentials or payment information.
Table of Contents
SSL was developed for use in the first web browser developed by Netscape in 1995. The early releases of SSL by Netscape, however, were fraught with problems, causing versions 1.0 and 2.0 to be functionally useless.
Version 3.0, as imagined and developed by Paul Kocher, became the standard for SSL and served as the base architecture for the expansion of SSL, and later TLS.
TLS followed SSL Version 3.0 and was functionally similar but the two systems were not compatible with one another except through a downgrade in security when translating from TLS to SSL. TSL 1.0 provided a more robust level of security than SSL 3.0 and rapidly took over SSL as the industry standard for website and client-server security.
TLS 1.0 was followed by TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, which both added additional security features, such as TLS Extensions and protection from cipher block chaining attacks. These updates also removed the backward compatibility of TLS to SSL.
|Browser SSL
SSL and TLS are key features in many common internet tasks such as:
• Online monetary transactions on websites such as Google Wallet or Bitcoin
• Securing login credentials
• Providing secure file transfer over FTP and HTTPS
• Using VPN software to connect to the internet
• Securing webmail servers
One key feature of SSL and TLS is the ease of use for the end user. The most frequently encountered example of this is the green padlock symbol or green address bar in web browsers that certify that a website is secure.
SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates operate on a public key system in which the client and the server exchange both a private and a public key in order to access information.
In order to receive a certificate, the server administrator creates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on their server. This generates a CSR data file to be sent to a Certificate Authority as well as the private key that will be used for SSL encryption later on. Based upon the data in the CSR, the Certificate Authority generates a public key to match the server's private key. It is important to note that the Certificate Authority never receives the actual private key.
After installing the SSL Certificate, server administrators might also install intermediate certificates in order to increase the integrity of the original SSL Certificate.
The SSL Certificate is then recognized by the end user's browser based upon a set list of trusted organizations. This trust is established when the Certificate Authority confirms that the organization is legitimate and trustworthy.
How SSL Works
|How SSL Works
1. User's browser connects to a website secured with SSL (https).
2. Browser requests that the server identify itself.
3. Server sends a copy of its SSL Certificate, including the server's public key.
4. Browser checks the SSL Certificate against a list of trusted Certificate Authorities.
5. If the browser trusts the certificate, it creates, encrypts, and sends back a symmetric session key using the server's public key.
6. Server decrypts the symmetric session key using its private key and replies with an encrypted message with the session key to start the encrypted transmission of data.
7. Server and Browser now encrypt all transmitted data with the session key.
Potential Weaknesses
The primary vulnerability of SSL and TLS is that the algorithms upon which they are based become weaker over time. Neither system is completely secure from attack, so if the algorithms are not frequently updated, they will become increasingly vulnerable. Recently, the potential weakness of SSL was exhibited by the Heartbleed bug.
The Heartbleed bug is an exploitation of a vulnerability in the "Heartbeat" extension of OpenSSL, a popular opensource toolkit for SSL and TLS.
The heartbeat extension is intended to provides a new protocol for TLS/DTLS allowing the usage of keep-alive functionality without performing a renegotiation and a basis for path MTU (PMTU) discovery for DTLS.1 This allows the client-server model to maintain a secure connection for extended periods of time without having to re-form the secure connection constantly. This is achieved by the client sending a message to the server requesting that it repeat it's message back to it. For example, the client could send out a message such as "send back the five letter word House" and the server would reply "House" in order to show that the connection is still alive.
The Heartbleed bug exploited the lack of a bounds check in the heartbeat extension, allowing malicious clients to send a heartbeat request that did not match the bounds of the reply. Using the above example, a malicious user could send the heartbeat message "send back the 2000 letter word House." Since "House" is only five letters and the server has been requested to return 2000, the server compensates by replying "House" followed by 1,995 characters that are stored in its recent memory. If the server had credit card information or social security numbers in its recent memory, these would be included in the heartbeat response.

Arizona Coyotes (16-25-6) at Toronto Maple Leafs (22-23-3)

The Leafs look to end their ugly losing skid with a win on home ice on Thursday as they welcome the Coyotes to the Air Canada Centre.
The Arizona Coyotes will look to extend Toronto's misery with an upset win at the ACC on Thursday night but the Coyotes haven't been doing much better sitting with a 2-6-2 mark through their last 10 contests and are in third to last place in the league standings. Arizona was due for a let down season after a number of years where they overachieved and snuck into the playoffs and will it wasn't to be expected that they would fall this far this quickly it it easy to see why as they don't have the offensive ability to stay competitive. The Coyotes are going to be big time players at the trade deadline and one name that continues to pop up is Keith Yandle who the team tried to move last season but was unsuccessful but no with an expiring contract and teams looking to upgrade at the back end Yandle would be a great fit for anyone making a run at the Cup. Mike Smith will get the call between the pipes as he will likely go up against James Reimer.
The Maple Leafs suffered another heartbreaker last night as they gave up a late goal to force overtime and lost in a shootout to the New Jersey Devils extending Toronto's losing streak to seven games. The Leafs are 1-9 in their last 10 contests and haven't been able to beat anybody as they have lost to some pretty low competition as Carolina took them down in Toronto and now the Devils had their way though Toronto was able to salvage a point. The Leafs were flying to start the season sitting 10 games above .500 and locking in with a 95% chance to make the playoffs and now they sit with a less than 5% chance to do so as they are quickly falling out of favour in the Atlantic division and are miles back of the wild card spot. Toronto could also be a team making moves at the trade deadline and if they lose this one I think the Leafs will go into full blown tank mode and send some roster players packing. The Leafs shouldn't be favoured against anyone right now let alone at -165 but Arizona is just so bad I can't side with them either. I will lean towards the under as Toronto is in a back to back and haven't been able to score goals of late and the Coyotes haven't been able to score goals all season so the under looks like a decent play.

Lakeland Resources Inc. Expands Newnham Lake Property, Athabasca Basin
August 27, 2014 (Source: CNW) — Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK) (FSE: 6LL) (OTCQX: LRESF) (the "Company" or "Lakeland") is pleased to announce that it has acquired additional claims through option agreements near its Newnham Lake Property (the "Property"), within the northeast portion of the Athabasca Basin. The property is situated along the shallow basement margin where depth to basement is expected to be from zero to around 100 metres. The Property is now approximately 24,500 hectares.
- The Property now includes the entire folded and faulted, graphitic meta-pelite trend which was the subject of the historic work.
- Drill hole intervals of up to 0.20% U3O8 along this trend.
- There are several untested portions of the trend, and mineralization at depth has not been fully tested.
About the Newnham Lake Property
The Newnham Lake Property and surrounding area was the subject of intense exploration efforts by Saskatchewan Mining and Development Corporation ("SMDC") for shallow, unconformity-style uranium deposits from about 1976 to 1984. JNR Resources conducted exploration on and near the Property between 1997 and 2011. The recent work includes a ground electromagnetic (HLEM) survey with targets on the Property not yet drill tested. Other recent work includes airborne VTEM and ZTEM surveys, and an airborne full tensor gravity gradiometry survey.
Highlights of historic drilling results include:
- DDH 66 encountered a 20 cm interval of 0.20% U3O8 along with high Ni, As, Pb immediately below the sub-Athabasca unconformity.
- DDH 104 encountered 20 cm of 0.13% U3O8 within basement metapelite.
- DDH 37 encountered 2 cm of sooty pitchblende in the Athabasca sandstone immediately above the unconformity. A 1 metre sample graded 389 ppm U3O8.
The Property now includes the entire folded and faulted, graphitic meta-pelite trend which was the subject of the historic work. In excess of 140 drill holes targeted this trend prior to 1984, and were focused on mineralization at the unconformity. Limited work was done exploring for deeper basement style mineralization despite extensive alteration, anomalous geochemistry and favorable rock types, with most holes continuing less than 25 metres past the sub-Athabasca unconformity. The exploration in the area of the Newnham Lake Property was largely prior to the understanding of the importance of basement-hosted unconformity-style uranium deposits. Recent discoveries such as the Gryphon Zone of Denison Mines Corp. highlight the significance of basement hosted mineralization where grades of 21.2% U3O8 over 4.5 metres have been encountered up to 200 metres below the sub-Athabasca unconformity.
According to Jon Armes, President and CEO of Lakeland Resources "The consolidation of the Newnham Lake Property is an important step for us, as it allows us to control yet another flagship project at the margin of the Athabasca Basin. There are a multitude of positive attributes of this Property in addition to un-tested targets"

Northern Plaza, Monash University Clayton
From the landscape architect: Contemporary universities are becoming microcosms of our cities. Open spaces are now being developed not as decorative foregrounds to buildings, but to host staff, students and the wider community in myriad ways: whether it is meeting, studying, playing, exercising, partying, dining, promenading or escaping.
These are social spaces serving increasing student populations, rising on-campus residents, as well as responding to a new 24/7 activated campus paradigm.
At the heart of Monash University, Clayton is the newly minted Northern Plaza – the dynamic student hub adjacent to the Campus Centre.
Underpinning this field of student activity are layered strategies for interaction creating a curated canvas of engagement. Within a 75 x 75 metre frame, Northern Plaza hosts alfresco dining under a leafy canopy, event lawns, BBQs, decks, long civic-scaled study desks, informal seating, terraces and linking promenades.
This dynamic strategy invites the university population to come together in an animated urban setting, where music, exercise classes, student clubs, pop-ups, cinema and exhibitions, or just lounging around, further enrich the setting. This is a design that says "the more life and activity, the better!"
– Taylor Cullity Lethlean.

Veelgestelde vragen (FAQ)
Voor uw aanschaf
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.
If you need to use a video extender with a video adapter or converter, you should position the adapter or converter as close to the video source as possible. For example, if you need to take a VGA signal from a computer and send it 200 feet to an HDMI® projector, you should convert the signal from VGA to HDMI and use an HDMI extender.
Note: For more information on when to use cables or extenders, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_when_to_convert.
No, this device is designed to be a point-to-point solution using networking cabling only.
This device has a VGA input port. If you have a video source that uses another video connection, there are options available to convert the video signal or connection. These options will be outlined below for each video source connection.
Source connection
DVI-I to VGA: https://www.startech.com/DVIVGAMFBK.
DVI-D to VGA: https://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/?filter_AVINPUT=DVI-D&filter_AVOUTPUT=VGA.
HDMI to VGA: https://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/?filter_AVINPUT=HDMI&filter_AVOUTPUT=VGA.
DisplayPort to VGA: https://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/DP-VGA/.
DVI-I and DVI-D
When you convert from DVI to VGA, you need to know if you are converting from a DVI-I or a DVI-D connection. For more information about how to identify the type of connection that you have, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_dvi_interface.
You also need to know which form of DVI that you are using, because DVI-I supports both analog (VGA) and digital (HDMI) signals, while DVI-D only supports digital (HDMI) signals. Some DVI-I connections only support DVI-D signaling. In this case, you must use a DVI-D to VGA converter.
There are a few things you'll want to take care of before you deploy your new video extender in your setup.
It's important to make sure you have everything you will need ahead of time. These items are listed below.
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Video source
- Display
- Video cables
- (Optional) Ethernet or fiber cables
- (Optional) Power adapter(s)
It's also important to test everything in a simplified setup ahead of time to make sure everything works and that you understand how it works.
In order to set up your video extender, complete the following:
- Position your video transmitter near your video source.
- Connect the video output from your video source to the video transmitter.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video transmitter.
Note: Not all video extenders require external power, or require external power on both ends. Refer to the manual for more information.
- Position your video receiver near your display.
- Connect the video output from your video receiver to your display.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video receiver.
- If using a wired video extender, connect your network cabling between the video transmitter and the video receiver.
- (Optional) If you are extending anything else supported by your video extender connect those devices to the transmitter and receiver.
- (Optional) If you are using a wireless extender, there may be a sync button you need to press to pair the transmitter and receiver.
Now that you have set up your video extender, you can check that everything is working. You should be able to see your video source's output on the display connected to the video receiver.
If at this point you have further questions regarding a Startech.com video extender, contact our technical support team for further assistance.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video extender, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video and Ethernet cables
Video extender
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI extender, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video extender from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video extender.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, extender, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Although there are multiple video outputs on certain video extenders at StarTech.com, these do not create independent displays. Instead, the input to the video extenders with multiple outputs gets mirrored or duplicated. This is because video extenders have built-in video splitters to allow for multiple video outputs.
For more information about how mirroring works, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=video#mirror-span-extend.
Note: The ST12MHDLAN can be used to create a video wall which allows for independent displays. For more information about the ST12MHDLAN, refer to the product page for ST12MDHLAN: http://www.startech.com/ST12MHDLAN.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Governor Mike Beebe announced Saturday a major funding contribution to complete a decade-long construction project at Arkansas State University.
Gov. Beebe presented a $4 million check from the state General Improvement Fund to go towards completing the Humanities and Social Sciences Building located at the center of the ASU campus.
"(Students) were all cramped into an old, old building in Wilson Hall and Wilson Hall is a landmark, but it frankly is old. They needed new space," Gov. Beebe said. "This building has been a combination of state funds that we have been able to accumulate over the years. It's taken us about 12 years to gather enough money and incrementally put this building together."
The Humanities and Social Sciences Building will house the academic departments of Criminology, Sociology and Geography; English and Philosophy; History; and Political Science, which are currently located in Wilson Hall. World Languages and Cultures, which is located in the International Student Center, will also relocate to the Humanities and Social Sciences Building.
In September, the ASU Board of Trustees approved a $27.7 million bond issue to finish financing construction of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building.
Dr. Charles L. Welch, president of the ASU System, said Gov. Beebe and various legislators have been supportive in providing more than $17 million in funding for the design and construction of the facility over the years.
The 120,000 square-foot building will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, computer labs, faculty offices, departmental suites and conferences rooms.
The $36 million project is scheduled to be completed in the fall semester of 2015.

Another Fundraiser II has just started. (March 26th - April 3rd)
All skins and tattoo packs are 50L only and 100% of the proceeds go to Red Cross Relief in Japan.
This is my little contribution:
NOTE: The eyeshadows are for specific use with the Kokeshi skin, as I can't guarantee they would work fine with other bases. <--- they have some skin attached. It means they only look ok with the same skintone.
The lipsticks *might* look good with other skins.
The glosses, since they have some transparency, should work with many other skins as well.
So... go, check out all the goodness and DONATE DONATE DONATE!

If you're a more regular reader of my blog you probably have read about Nutanix AHV, the native hypervisor that Nutanix ships. Nutanix AHV is built from the ground up for hyper convergence and that makes it a great hypervisor for desktop virtualisation. This is where the relationship with Citrix and the Citrix Provisioning SDK comes into play.

Citrix MCS for AHV: Under the hood
Citrix MCS for AHV; it's been a hot topic since the release of XenDesktop 7.7 so here's my explanation of what's going on under the hood when we look at Citrix MCS for AHV. First I'll start with a short description of the components and in the end there's a alpha-demo video on the integration piece.

In his latest blog entry Martin Stephens, the Trust's associate medical director for clinical effectiveness, talks about preventing aneurysms from bursting.
The vessels that carry blood around our bodies are vital for all of us but sometimes things can go wrong.
The large vessel that carries blood from the heart – called the aorta – can bulge out because the vessel walls weaken. This is called an aortic aneurysm.
This bulge can go on to burst and if this happens there is massive internal bleeding which can be fatal.
Thankfully, burst aortic aneurysms are rare – about one person in every 10,000 each year in England.
To help prevent this the NHS has a screening programme aimed at older men, who are at higher risk, and here at UHS we have effective surgical treatment for those with aneurysms likely to burst.
Our vascular surgeons who undertake these planned repairs on aortic aneurysms have good results.
We received feedback earlier this year from the first outcome report on this type of surgery. At Southampton there were 221 patients in the audit and 219 of those patients were successfully treated.
Unfortunately there were two deaths but our mortality rate of 1.5% compares well with other centres – with the average for the country at 2.4%.
To read more about this surgery you can go to the NHS Choices website.
Though we don't fully understand all the causes of these major vessel bulges we do know that smoking and a high fat diet increase the chance of it occurring. Being at a healthy weight and taking regular exercise helps reduce our risks.
Stopping smoking can also reduce the risk and we have been working closely with an onsite team from Quitters (run by Solent NHS Trust) since September 2011 to get more patients referred into their service.
The great news is we've seen three times as many referrals to Quitters compared to 2010. Quitters have trained up our staff on giving advice about smoking and are have been successful in getting smokers on to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Patients continue to be given support even after being discharged home.
Getting support from their local stop smoking service means smokers are four times more likely to succeed. Helping patients become smoke-free will not only benefit their health, but could also reduce their stay in hospital and decrease their chance of re-admission.
Southampton Quitters aren't just here to see patients, but can provide support to any staff members or visitors to the hospital who wish to quit. For more details please see Southampton Quitters page on www.southamptonquitters.nhs.uk

Yes, I am the billionth person to blog about this place. Make that the billionth and one. What else can I say? It's busy, it's famous, and it's pretty cool.
We got there at 7.30 on a workday (ok, I got there @ 7.35, and I did demand that this unnamed person NOT be late). She wasn't late. I had to reschedule for a few minutes later.
The place was already buzzing. It is surprising how busy this place is even at this time of morning. The staff were incredibly friendly, a feat in itself for such an uncivilised hour.
We both ordered the omlette (with goats curd or something) and some mushrooms. So nothing fancy, but a good breakfast nonetheless.
I can see why people would love this place - for the very fact that they seem to make such a massive effort in the service space.
Also for their Padre coffee (from Brunswick East Project) and omfg, for those pistachio torsades (like what they also have at Brunswick East Project) , which I think are from Noisette.
I'm looking forward to trying lunch out....but maybe after I go for a bit of a run.....
Oh Happy New Financial Year!!! Isn't it exciting...
