The "accidental hero" who halted the global spread of an unprecedented ransomware attack by registering a garbled domain name hidden in the malware has warned the attack could be rebooted.
The ransomware used in Friday's attack wreaked havoc on organisations including FedEx and Telefónica, as well as the UK's National Health Service (NHS), where operations were cancelled, X-rays, test results and patient records became unavailable and phones did not work.
But the spread of the attack was brought to a sudden halt when one UK cybersecurity researcher tweeting as @malwaretechblog, with the help of Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, found and inadvertently activated a "kill switch" in the malicious software.
The researcher, who identified himself only as MalwareTech, is a 22-year-old from south-west England who works for Kryptos logic, an LA-based threat intelligence company.
"I was out having lunch with a friend and got back about 3pm and saw an influx of news articles about the NHS and various UK organisations being hit," he told the Guardian. "I had a bit of a look into that and then I found a sample of the malware behind it, and saw that it was connecting out to a specific domain, which was not registered. So I picked it up not knowing what it did at the time."
The kill switch was hardcoded into the malware in case the creator wanted to stop it spreading. This involved a very long nonsensical domain name that the malware makes a request to – just as if it was looking up any website – and if the request comes back and shows that the domain is live, the kill switch takes effect and the malware stops spreading. The domain cost $10.69 and was immediately registering thousands of connections every second.
MalwareTech explained that he bought the domain because his company tracks botnets, and by registering these domains they can get an insight into how the botnet is spreading. "The intent was to just monitor the spread and see if we could do anything about it later on. But we actually stopped the spread just by registering the domain," he said. But the following hours were an "emotional rollercoaster".
"Initially someone had reported the wrong way round that we had caused the infection by registering the domain, so I had a mini freakout until I realised it was actually the other way around and we had stopped it," he said.
MalwareTech said he preferred to stay anonymous "because it just doesn't make sense to give out my personal information, obviously we're working against bad guys and they're not going to be happy about this."
He also said he planned to hold onto the URL, and he and colleagues were collecting the IPs and sending them off to law enforcement agencies so they can notify the infected victims, not all of whom are aware that they have been affected.
He warned people to patch their systems, adding: "This is not over. The attackers will realise how we stopped it, they'll change the code and then they'll start again. Enable windows update, update and then reboot."
He said he got his first job out of school without any real qualifications, having skipped university to start up a tech blog and write software.
"It's always been a hobby to me, I'm self-taught. I ended up getting a job out of my first botnet tracker, which the company I now work for saw and contacted me about, asking if I wanted a job. I've been working there a year and two months now."
But the dark knight of the dark web still lives at home with his parents, which he joked was "so stereotypical". His mum, he said, was aware of what had happened and was excited, but his dad hadn't been home yet. "I'm sure my mother will inform him," he said.
"It's not going to be a lifestyle change, it's just a five-minutes of fame sort of thing. It is quite crazy, I've not been able to check into my Twitter feed all day because it's just been going too fast to read. Every time I refresh it it's another 99 notifications."
Proofpoint's Ryan Kalember said the British researcher gets "the accidental hero award of the day". "They didn't realise how much it probably slowed down the spread of this ransomware".
The time that @malwaretechblog registered the domain was too late to help Europe and Asia, where many organisations were affected. But it gave people in the US more time to develop immunity to the attack by patching their systems before they were infected, said Kalember.
The kill switch won't help anyone whose computer is already infected with the ransomware, and it's possible that there are other variants of the malware with different kill switches that will continue to spread.
The malware was made available online on 14 April through a dump by a group called Shadow Brokers, which claimed last year to have stolen a cache of "cyber weapons" from the National Security Agency (NSA).
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user's data, then demands payment in exchange for unlocking the data. This attack used a piece of malicious software called "WanaCrypt0r 2.0" or WannaCry, that exploits a vulnerability in Windows. Microsoft released a patch (a software update that fixes the problem) for the flaw in March, but computers that have not installed the security update remain vulnerable.
The ransomware demands users pay $300 worth of cryptocurrency Bitcoin to retrieve their files, though it warns that the "payment will be raised" after a certain amount of time. Translations of the ransom message in 28 languages are included. The malware spreads through email.
"This was eminently predictable in lots of ways," said Kalember. "As soon as the Shadow Brokers dump came out everyone [in the security industry] realised that a lot of people wouldn't be able to install a patch, especially if they used an operating system like Windows XP [which many NHS computers still use], for which there is no patch."
Security researchers with Kaspersky Lab have recorded more than 45,000 attacks in 74 countries, including the UK, Russia, Ukraine, India, China, Italy, and Egypt. In Spain, major companies including telecommunications firm Telefónica were infected.
By Friday evening, the ransomware had spread to the United States and South America, though Europe and Russia remained the hardest hit, according to security researchers Malware Hunter Team. The Russian interior ministry says about 1,000 computers have been affected.

A mirror download server for the popular tool HandBrake video file-transcoding app has been compromised by hackers, who replaced its Mac edition with malware.
The first most Mac users will know about the security incident will be when they visit the app's website, at https://handbrake.fr, and see a link to a "Security Alert":
Anyone who has downloaded HandBrake on Mac between [02/May/2017 14:30 UTC] and [06/May/2017 11:00 UTC] needs to verify the SHA1 / 256 sum of the file before running it.
Anyone who has installed HandBrake for Mac needs to verify their system is not infected with a Trojan. You have 50/50 chance if you've downloaded HandBrake during this period.
Up-date ESET security products detect the malicious download as OSX/Proton.A – a trojan horse which allows malicious attackers to remotely access infected Mac computers, opening up opportunities for hackers to take screenshots of infected computers, capture credit card details and passwords as they are entered on the keyboard, hijack the webcam, and steal files.
Concerned users of anti-virus products from other vendors would be wise to contact them directly to see if their Mac security solutions are detecting this latest variant of the Proton remote access trojan.
The sad truth, of course, is that Mac users are typically less likely to be running an anti-virus product than their Windows counterparts – making them a soft target for cybercriminals interested in targeting the platform. In recent years take-up of Mac security solutions has risen as the threat has risen – but it still drags (as do the malware numbers for the platform) compared to Microsoft Windows users.
Yes, there's a lot less malware for Mac OS X than there is for Microsoft Windows, but that's going to be little consolation if you're unfortunate enough to find yourself a victim. Personally I think any Mac users connecting to the internet without an anti-virus solution in place is being downright foolhardy.
One longterm user of HandBrake described on the MacRumors forum just how close he came to having his credentials compromised by the malware attack:
Handbrake is an excellent program that has served me well over the years and I have great respect for the developers. Security slip-ups can happen to anyone and I'm sure they will take the necessary measures to improve this for future.
That said, I'm posting because I nearly got caught by this. I download Handbrake last week and was surprised to see a dialog on launch asking me to enter my password to "install additional codecs". As a longtime Handbrake user I was certain that this was *not* normal, so I declined. Shortly afterword I was shown another dialog, independent from Handbrake, purporting to be from the system "Network Configuration" which needed my password to "update DHCP settings". As this was also something I was unfamiliar with, I again declined but the dialog immediately reappeared upon clicking cancel and I had to restart the computer to make it go away. So yeah, if you see any suspicious password dialogs, do NOT enter your password.
HandBrake advises that users check the SHA checksum when they download new versions of the app from its mirror site, but it's hard to imagine that many people ever bother to do such a thing. Most are, no doubt, in too much of a hurry burning DVDs and converting video files to bother with such dull and tedious security checks.
Checking checksums may be a chore, but in all likelihood it would have saved the bacon of some of the app's downloaders in the last few days.
HandBrake.dmg files with the following checksums are infected:
SHA1: 0935a43ca90c6c419a49e4f8f1d75e68cd70b274
SHA256: 013623e5e50449bbdf6943549d8224a122aa6c42bd3300a1bd2b743b01ae6793

Microsoft's own antivirus software made Windows 7, 8.1, RT and 10 computers, as well as Windows Server 2016 more vulnerable.
Microsoft has just released an out-of-band security update to patch the crazy bad bug discovered by a pair of Google Project Zero researchers over the weekend.
Security researchers Tavis Ormandy announced on Twitter during the weekend that he and another Project Zero researcher Natalie Silvanovich discovered "the worst Windows remote code [execution vulnerability] in recent memory."
Natalie Silvanovich also published a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code that fits in a single tweet.
The reported RCE vulnerability, according to the duo, could work against default installations with "wormable" ability – capability to replicate itself on an infected computer and then spread to other PCs automatically.
According to an advisory released by Microsoft, the remotely exploitable security flaw (CVE-2017-0290) exists in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine (MMPE) – the company's own antivirus engine that could be used to fully compromise Windows PCs without any user interaction.
Eventually, every anti-malware software that ship with the Microsoft's Malware Protection Engine are vulnerable to this flaw. The affected software includes:
Microsoft's Defender security software comes enabled by default on Windows 7, 8.1, RT 8.1, and Windows 10, as well as Windows Server 2016. All are at risk of full remote system compromise.
The flaw resides in the way the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine scan files. It is possible for an attacker to craft a malicious file that could lead to memory corruption on targeted systems.
Researchers have labeled the flaw as a "type confusion" vulnerability that exists in NScript, a "component of mpengine that evaluates any filesystem or network activity that looks like JavaScript," which fails to validate JavaScript inputs.
"To be clear, this is an unsandboxed and highly privileged JavaScript interpreter that is used to evaluate untrusted code, by default on all modern Windows systems. This is as surprising as it sounds," Google security researchers explained in a bug report posted on the Chromium forum.
Since antivirus programs have real-time scanning functionality enabled by default that automatically scans files when they are created, opened, copied or downloaded, the exploit gets triggered as soon as the malicious file is downloaded, infecting the target computer.
The vulnerability could be exploited by hackers in several ways, like sending emails, luring victims to sites that deliver malicious files, and instant messaging.
"On workstations, attackers can access mpengine by sending emails to users (reading the email or opening attachments is not necessary), visiting links in a web browser, instant messaging and so on," researchers explained.
"This level of accessibility is possible because MsMpEng uses a filesystem minifilter to intercept and inspect all system filesystem activity, so writing controlled contents to anywhere on disk (e.g. caches, temporary internet files, downloads (even unconfirmed downloads), attachments, etc.) is enough to access functionality in mpengine."
The injected malicious payload runs with elevated LocalSystem level privileges that would allow hackers to gain full control of the target system, and perform malicious tasks like installing spyware, stealing sensitive files, and login credentials, and much more.
Microsoft responded to the issue very quickly and comes up with a patch within just 3 days, which is very impressive. The patch is now available via Windows Update for Windows 7, 8.1, RT and 10.
The vulnerable version of Microsoft Malware Protection Engine (MMPE) is 1.1.13701.0, and the patched version is 1.1.13704.0.
By default, Windows PCs automatically install the latest definitions and updates for the engine. So, your system will install the emergency update automatically within 1-2 days, but you can also get it installed immediately by pressing 'Check Update' button in your settings.

He inadvertently halted the global spread of the international ransomware attack and will donate thousands of pounds of his reward money to charity, but Marcus Hutchins, the security expert labelled the "accidental hero", has said his "five minutes of fame" have been "horrible".
Hutchins, 22, was propelled into the media spotlight when he activated a "kill switch" in the malicious software that wreaked havoc on organisations including the UK's National Health Service earlier this month. He originally told the Guardian how he spotted the URL not knowing what it would do at the time, and spoke under his alias of MalwareTech because he did not want to be identified.
But within two days Hutchins, who operates out of an English coastal town, tweeted that he had woken up to discover that his picture was on the front page of a newspaper and since then has become the centre of a media storm. At first the blogger saw the funny side of having to climb over his back wall to avoid reporters camped outside his house, but now, he says, the situation has escalated to the point that he feels the British tabloids have put his life in danger.
Writing of his experiences on Twitter, he also said the press had doxxed a friend of his, which involves searching for and publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent.
In a tweet that has since been deleted Hutchins wrote: "One of the largest UK newspapers published a picture of my house, full address, and directions to get there … now I have to move." He later implored his supporters not to doxx journalists in revenge and reiterated that he had not sought fame.
Hutchins got his first job straight after school without any serious qualifications thanks to his tech blog and skill at writing software, which he said has always been a hobby. He works remotely for Kryptos Logic, an LA-based threat intelligence company, which was impressed by his work and got in touch to offer him a job a little over a year ago.
Last week, he revealed that he had been awarded a bounty by HackerOne, a group that rewards ethical hackers for finding software flaws, and that he would divide the money between charities and educational resources for IT security students.
Offering the reward, HackerOne said: "Thank you for your active research into this malware and for making the internet safer!"
On Sunday, Hutchins said he had so far decided on four charities: Doctors Without Borders, Great Ormond Street, Charity: Water, and Hackers For Charity.
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user's data, then demands payment in exchange for unlocking the data. This attack used a piece of malicious software called WannaCry, which exploits a vulnerability in Windows.
Microsoft released a patch (a software update that fixes the problem) for the flaw in March, but computers that have not installed the security update remain vulnerable.
Hutchins previously warned that the attack could return in a new form and advised people to patch their systems. "This is not over," he said. "The attackers will realise how we stopped it, they'll change the code and then they'll start again."

WordPress, the most popular CMS in the world, is vulnerable to a logical vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to reset targeted users' password under certain circumstances.
The vulnerability (CVE-2017-8295) becomes even more dangerous after knowing that it affects all versions of WordPress — including the latest 4.7.4 version.
The WordPress flaw was discovered by Polish security researcher Dawid Golunski of Legal Hackers last year in July and reported it to the WordPress security team, who decided to ignore this issue, leaving millions of websites vulnerable.
"This issue has been reported to WordPress security team multiple times with the first report sent back in July 2016. It was reported both directly via security contact email, as well as via HackerOne website," Golunski wrote in an advisory published today. "As there has been no progress, in this case, this advisory is finally released to the public without an official patch."
Golunski is the same researcher who discovered a critical vulnerability in the popular open source PHPMailer libraries that allowed malicious actors to remotely execute arbitrary code in the context of the web server and compromise the target web application.
The vulnerability lies in the way WordPress processes the password reset request, for the user it has been initiated.
In general, when a user requests to reset his/her password through forgot password option, WordPress immediately generates a unique secret code and sends it to user's email ID already stored in the database.
While sending this email, WordPress uses a variable called SERVER_NAME to obtain the hostname of a server to set values of the From/Return-Path fields.
Here, "From" refers to the email address of the sender and "Return-Path" refers to the email address where 'bounce-back' emails should be delivered in the case of failure in the delivery for some reason.
According to Golunski, an attacker can send a spoofed HTTP request with a predefined custom hostname value (for example attacker-mxserver.com), while initiating password reset process for a targeted admin user.
Since the hostname in the malicious HTTP request is an attacker-controlled domain, the From and Return-Path fields in the password reset email will be modified to include an email ID associated with the attacker's domain, i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com, instead of email@example.com.
"Because of the modified HOST header, the SERVER_NAME will be set to the hostname of attacker's choice. As a result, WordPress will pass the following headers and email body to the /usr/bin/sendmail wrapper," Golunski says.
Don't get confused here: You should note that the password reset email will be delivered to victim's email address only, but since the From and Return-Path fields now point to attacker's email ID, the attacker can also receive reset code under following scenarios:
"The CVE-2017-8295 attack could potentially be carried out both with user interaction (the user hitting the 'reply' button scenario), or without user interaction (spam victim's mailbox to exceed their storage quota)," Golunski told The Hacker News in an email.
For obvious reason, this is not a sure shot method, but in the case of targeted attacks, sophisticated hackers can manage to exploit this flaw successfully.
Another notable fact on which successful exploitation of this flaw depends is that, even if WordPress website is flawed, not all web servers allow an attacker to modify hostname via SERVER_NAME header, including WordPress hosted on any shared servers.
"SERVER_NAME server header can be manipulated on default configurations of Apache Web server (most common WordPress deployment) via HOST header of an HTTP request," Golunski says.
Since the vulnerability has now been publically disclosed with no patch available from the popular CMS company, WordPress admins are advised to update their server configuration to enable UseCanonicalName to enforce static/predefined SERVER_NAME value.

No Plans Yet To Dump T-Shirt Launcher After Student's Mishap
Despite a student's hospitalization and subsequent surgery last Saturday, officials don't yet have any definitive plans to discontinue using a T-shirt cannon at Razorbacks football games going forward. The chancellor, though, remains hopeful usage of the launcher can continue if safe.
University of Arkansas Chancellor G. David Gearhart told 5NEWS on Thursday that the athletic department is examining the situation and weighing the safety concerns following a malfunction that resulted in a student's injury. A decision to discontinue the launcher could be made at some point in the future, if the athletic department chooses, he said.
Gearhart did not say whether the continued usage of the T-shirt cannon would extend to this Saturday's game, or whether the university would wait until afterward to bring the T-shirt launcher back.
The university's athletic department released a statement earlier this week, saying the T-shirt cannon was banned from being used at Saturday's upcoming Razorbacks game against Samford at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
"The T-shirt launcher will not be used for this Saturday's football game, and a decision regarding any further use will be made in the future," the news release states.
Arkansas officials said last Saturday that an intern in the school's marketing department was hospitalized after a T-shirt air cannon malfunctioned at Razorback Stadium. The intern was treated and released from a local hospital following surgery, according to the university.
"He's going to be all right," Gearhart said.
During the incident, the cannon exploded for some reason and injured the man's leg, authorities said.
The launcher that misfired was the single-shot gun that uses pressurized air from a tank to propel T-shirts into the crowd at various sporting events. The university also has a Gatling-style air gun that can rapidly fire multiple shirts.

Now God has never shouted out to me. I've never heard God speak audibly. He doesn't have too. I mean if God can send a phone thru a-a cell phone, and I can't see it, if he can send a picture through the air and it come out on the TV, he can certainly send a thought directly to my mind without having to say it aloud or write it in the sky. And we believe that when God speaks to us that's called inspiration. When Satan speaks to us that's called temptation. And when I'm talking to myself and I think it's God, that's delusion.
You know Phil Vischer, the creator of Veggie Tales, after his business hit the skids, wrote a very interesting piece where he said "Where I made the mistake was I thought I was talking to God and it was actually my own ego, or I confused the two." Not that he wasn't also talking to God but that "I confused the two." How do you know?
I think that's why we have the Bible. I do accept the Bible as a standard of authority and I judge my experience by it not vice versa. So if the Bible says something and I've had an experience that counters that, I doubt the experience because we know experience can lie. You can have a virtual experience. I could create, I could stimulate certain things in your mind and you'd think you were an elephant. And so, experiences could be a bad burrito you ate the night before or things like that. Feelings often lie.
But going back to this thing about heaven and getting into a perfect place. Let's say we got a scale of 1 to 100. Let's put Hitler at zero and Mother Teresa at 100 OK. And Steve you're at 85 and Larry's at 65 and I'm at 45. The truth is, some people are better than others, there's no doubt about it. Some people are more moral than others, they're nicer, they're less selfish, less self-centered, things like that. But the truth is, nobody makes [it] to perfection… And so somebody's got to make up that difference. And that's the gift I believe Jesus came to – to make up the difference between my zero and my 100 or my 45 and 100 -- somebody's got to make up that difference.
And you write in the Purpose of Christmas, that God came to earth at Christmas to remind you that he is always with you. And you have spent time, so much time, with the absolute most destitute and struggling people in the world. When you're with, say, a child who has lost both parents and has AIDS and has a very, very hard life and you're looking at that person, holding that person, are you sure that they're feeling the presence of God's love?
No I'm not. In fact I'm convinced that that's what I'm supposed to bring to them. I think when a lot of times we say, "God why don't you do something about all the suffering in the world" and he's saying "I'm asking you the same question. Why aren't you doing something about it? You think I put you on earth just to live for yourself? Do you think I put you on earth just to be a fat cat? You know get all you can, can all you get sit on the can and spoil the rest?"
You know, life is not about the acquisition of things. The greatest things in life are not things. I do struggle. of course. One of the things I wish somebody had taught me is that I could put my faith in Christ, or I could develop my relationship with Christ and still have doubts. I didn't know that. For a long time, I thought I had to figure out every answer to every question before I stepped across the line and said, I'd like to develop a relationship with God. Well, now I've been a pastor for 30years. I've been walking with Jesus Christ for over 40 years. And I still have doubts. I mean, I read the Bible and go "whoa, why did God say that? " If I had been God I wouldn't have done that." And, and, you should be glad I'm not God.
Can you give me an example?
Well yea, I mean there's a lot of times of slaughters in the Bible and rules that don't seem to make sense and things that just don't seem to me, to be logical. But on the other hand, there's a sense of humility in me that says, me trying to understand God is like an ant trying to understand the internet. I don't have the brain capacity. If I could understand why God does what he does, he wouldn't be God. I'd be God.
Mother Teresa, who is thought of as one of the most pious, deeply Christian people who's lived, had what she called a "dark night of the soul" too. Have you ever had that?
Oh absolutely. All the time.
What do you mean 'all the time'?
Well I've never doubted God. But I've doubted why God does certain things. To me, it takes more faith to be an atheist. Sorry, I don't have enough faith to believe in atheism….
[At this point, the tape lost a brief portion of the interview. In it, Warren says he's keeping a list of questions for God, one of which was why He made people capable of having babies long before they're capable of raising them]

One of Venezuela's many under-reported stories is the series of troubles in state-owned petrochemical giant PEQUIVEN.
A loyal reader has been writing me for months, talking about the difficulties in getting polyethylene, which is used to make, among other things, wrappers for food packages and plastic bags.
Until recently, Venezuela was an exporter of these types of resins. Now, we import the stuff. But problems with supply have been increasing as of late, causing all sorts of problems for companies that use this plastic to sell their stuff. These folks are seriously cutting back on investment and production.
As our reader tells it, many staples, from rice to flour to sugar, use polyethylene in their packaging. The Pequiven refinery at El Tablazo, Zulia, was in charge of production, but El Tablazo is simply not what it used to be, and Pequiven cannot keep up with demand.
Unsurprisingly, Coramer, the company in charge of distributing the polyethylene, has a charming little greeting sign when you click on its home page.
In researching this post, I discovered another blog solely dedicated to the petrochemical industry. The blog reports all sorts of shortages in the plastics industry, including polyethylene and in other types of resins as well, such as PVC.
I guess this, added to the slow demise of the newspaper industry, means that pretty soon Venezuelans will have to buy their food wrapped in banana leaves, just like our endogenous ancestors did.Caracas Chronicles is 100% reader-supported.

Family's, huh? You can't live with them – you can't live without them – and you can't chop them up into small little pieces and then serve them to your cat at tea time (it's true, I checked). So what can you do instead? Analyse? Cajole? Ignore? Slap? Hmm – maybe – though I would rather just read this issue of Detective Comics, as Written by Scott Snyder; Drawn by Francesco Francavilla, and Published by DC Comics in August 2011.
It is a matter of assessment for two analytical and troubled Gothamites at the moment, with both of them presently perplexed by the hand that God has dealt them.
For Gothamite number one – a Doctor at Arkham Asylum – he is troubled by the inane ramblings of a bound mad-man that he is presently trying to assess – the Joker. Now the doctor does try his best to ignore the Jokers taunts, but the Joker being the Joker, he finds a way to pluck at his strings...
Meanwhile, for Gothamite number two – Commissioner James Gordon – he is troubled by his gut instinct concerning his wayward son, James Junior. Now Junior's employer, Dr. Leslie Thompkins, thinks that James has really turning his life around – where as Junior's sister, Barbra, thinks the complete opposite. So what does Gordon do to assess this situation? He swipes some of Junior's medication from work, and then gives it to Barbra for closer scrutiny...
At the end of the day, both Gothamites get a result from there respective assessments. The Doctor gets poisoned thus allowing for the Joker to run free – and Gordon is lead down a path of confusion and a novelty bat.
To be continued.
After reading this issue of Detective Comics, I feel really-really sad you know. Now this emotion has nothing to do directly with this story, this art, or anything pertaining to this actual comic book issue. Instead, this is all to do with my own personal 'issues' with this creative team being pulled off of this title, and Detective Comics being renumbered.
Currently, this comic book is just so magical – with Snider and Francavilla really digging from the hip where this James Gordon Junior plot is concerned. The art is moody and atmospheric, and manages to capture a nourish and suspenseful tone that is more dramatic than any
Hollywood blockbuster in recent years. I especially liked the captivating nature of the Joker's incarceration – as it was very 'Hannibal Lecter', HSSS! And as for the story itself – sigh – pure bliss. Granted, this instalment was somewhat fractured by the Joker sub-plot, but that is not to say that the overall issue was diluted in any way shape or form. In my own personal opinion, this series is one the best comics on the racks today – if not the best comic book I have seen for a really long time, SOB... BOO-HOOO!
Oooops! There I go again. At the very thought of DC ripping this title with a new issue one, I just want to pull my hair to the marrow. Why the f*ck are you doing this DC? This title is older than your name! Heck, 'DC Comics' was named after this particular comic book series, as before then – back in the day – this publishing house was called 'National Periodicals'! I just don't get it! I understand – to some degree – why DC are doing this 'reboot'. I also understand – to some degree – why certain characters are being 'rebuffed'. But what I do not understand at all, is why is this stalwart of comic book history – with good sales files, a good creative team, and a good regular fan-base – is being re-jigged with the rest?
Hmm? Maybe there is nothing to understand?
have planned for a back-lash and will rectify this 'mistake' in a couple of months time? Here's hoping, huh? Great issue – great creative team – not so great future. Maybe DC

I'm pretty proud of myself - I made falafel from scratch today! And it was actually really easy!
this recipe for the falafels (she also has a lot of interesting information about falafel), but I added cilantro instead of parsley and I did not add the pepper, cardamom or coriander. I soaked the garbanzo beans overnight, then used a food processor to grind them up and added all the other ingredients too (garlic, onion, cumin, cilantro). After letting it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, we shaped them into balls and fried them.
The pita bread turned out great too!
this one and this one. I used a little bit of sugar (1/4 tsp) with the water and yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes after stirring - it really frothed up. Then I added most of the flour, all the salt and some olive oil and mixed it and kneaded it for about ten minutes, adding more flour as needed to make it smooth. Then I let it rise for a few hours, and pulled it into a rope and broke it into 8 pieces, shaped into balls and let those sit for 10 minutes. Then I rolled them out with a rolling pin into flat circles (~ 1/4 inch thick) and two at a time, put them on a pre-heated pan (lined with parchment paper) in a pre-heated 500 degree oven. I later reduced that to 450 because one of the pitas burned a little on the bottom. I followed the recipe instructions to add them to a plastic bag immediately after removing from the oven, flattened them down with a spatula, and let them sit for five minutes. They formed the perfect pockets - they turned out great! We ate the falafel and pita with hummus, lettuce/red onion/cilantro, cucumbers and grated white cheddar (I do love me some good Vermont white cheddar).
Isn't this a lovely sunset and an interesting cloud?

I was born in 1954 and have been making tapestries since 1977. The tapestries are woven on a large handmade loom. I have always been fascinated by the miracle that one fine thread can be turned into a solid picture.
My technique is time consuming, but gives me the possibility to obtain nuances sliding into one another. The sensuality of the surface is very important to me. The surface of the tapestry must appeal strongly to the senses. I can only see 30 – 40 cm of the tapestry at a time, so it is always a magical moment when I cut off the tapestry from the loom, roll it out and see it for the very first time as a whole.
Since 2006, I have been working with the theme "El lobo interior" ("The internal wolf"), autobiographic weavings which are colourful, symbolic and surrealistic. The drawings were made in a critical period of my life. Even though the motifs may be challenging and painful, the aesthetics are very important to me. Life can be a bitch – and I choose to describe it in a way which is both harmonic and awful. Each picture is an allegory where every piece can be interpreted.
Exhibitions and awards:
In 1995 I received a scholarship (Toyota), to study sumo wrestlers at the Akibasho-tournament (Tokyo) and afterwards I made tapestries of them.
"Special Mention for fine art", Art Museum of Chianciano Terme, Italy, 2012
"Best work of the exhibition" (out of 800 works), "Danish Art 90", Flygelet, Kokkedal, Denmark.
"Artist of the year", Gammelgaard, Herlev, Denmark 1988
Art Museum of Chianciano Terme, Italy, International Art Award 2012
"The Art of the Mind"
"Art of the Mind" show in Gagliardi Gallery London 2013
Selected Artists Berlin group show " Mission to Mars", Galerie MARZIA FROZEN in Berlin 2013
From 1985 to 1996 I participated in a number of exhibitions through different companies, art and cultural centers and museums in Denmark and Sweden. In 1996 I had the pleasure of exhibiting at "KASTRUPGAARD", Denmark – a co-exhibition with Bjoern Noergaard's sketches to the royal gobelins of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe of Denmark. But after that I decided not to exhibit for a long period.
I decided that I needed to stop exhibiting in order to intensify the way I expressed myself and to further develop my designs. I wanted to separate completely from how a potential viewer might be affected by my work. I needed to work completely in peace with myself. I changed my focus from the landscapes in nature to the inner landscapes of my mind.
Therefore, it took 16 years before I wanted to take part of an exhibition again. Now, I return with a very different line of work. It has been a long process, but this has been worthwhile. In 2012 I entered the art-world again, exhibiting the work "Female Cannibalism" at The Art Museum of Chianciano Terme, Italy. I expect more opportunities to arise in the future.

What is agile programming/development?
Agile programming is a new model of programming in which two (or more) programmers work together at a single computer.
The idea is simple: two programmers work together, often with one typing, while the other looks over his/her shoulder and together they discuss design and implementation ideas and issues. This is in contrast to most software development work, which is typically solitary.
How to make/clear free space in a Drupal MySQL database?
To clear out free space in your Drupal's database -- typically a MySQL installation -- you can generally empty the cache tables. Many versions of Drupal include a bug in which the cache_form table is not cleared, causing it to grow to be quite large in size over time. Note that emptying these tables could have a short-term effect on your website; for example, clearing cache_form will clear any forms currently being filled out on the website.

Memorial Day weekend has always been, without question, the official initiation into summer. At least in my book. My entire family (and usually some plus one's) heads down to our lake house for a long weekend full of boating, beers, cookouts and fun. The lake is packed, probably more so than anyone could normally tolerate on any other weekend except for this one. Everyone anchors by the bridge, and ropes up next to other boats for the afternoon. Everyone except my dad, that is, because coming within 10 feet of another boat is clearly a disaster waiting to happen to the boat that is arguably on a higher pedestal than my brother or me. Kidding. Not really.
Anyway, I love this weekend. It makes me feel like it's officially summer. Here's what else I love about the sunny months:
Being tan. Tan fat is better than pale fat. Always. Sun-kissed is better than Casper. And I always feel thinner when I'm tan. I realize this is probably some sort of strange psychological disorder.
Bar patios. There is absolutely nothing better than hitting 50 cent draft night with my friends while the sun is still hot and the patio is rocking in full force. Sipping wine during happy hour on the patio of Bar Louie, or playing cornhole at the local dive bar – in the words of Kenny Chesney, "everything gets hotter when the sun goes down."
Speaking of Kenny Chesney…country music. The other girl in my office and I were discussing how we feel like some music is so seasonal (no, not Christmas tunes, idiot). Country is my genre of choice in the summer, and it never fails that some famous country hottie puts out a cliché summer song every single year that we listen on repeat or denote as the official song of summer. Last year, it was "Summer Nights" by Rascal Flatts. This year, I'm so far a fan of "Life is Good Today."
Hiking/Walking with my dog. Given that she's not even a year old yet, I have yet to experience the beauty of a hot 3 mile hike at our local reserve with my 65 pound mutt. But, I've done in the freezing cold, and I look forward to traipsing around the woods with her for a long walk/exercise. More importantly, I look forward to being able to wear her out enough that she stops eating my mail.
Swimming. I bought a house. It has a pool. It goes without saying that my friends will ultimately be using me for my summer party house potential, and I'm totally okay with it. We stopped belonging to our local pool years ago and as a result, I've only been swimming on vacation. I look forward to taking daily dips after work, on the weekends, and probably the frequent post-bar pool party with friends. My only charge for admission is an animal raft. By the end of the summer, we're going to have animal wars. I call dibs on the alligator.
Cookouts. Grilling. Beer. Cornhole. Snack food. Margaritas. Bonfires. Smores. Seriously. Get excited. It's happening.
Concerts. I'm a big fan of the dingy dark concert halls where you're squished in like sardines so much that I always leave with bruises and beer on my head as a result of trying to rock out with people so much taller than me that their elbows coincidentally smack me in the head. But nothing, absolutely nothing, beats an entire amphitheatre full of drunk 20 somethings rocking out to the likes of Dave Matthews Band (or any other band that gets you hyped, whatev). Not to mention the people watching at said events is like watching 10,000 dogs walk on their hind legs. Brilliant.
I can't wait for summer to be in full force. My only problem is that I tend to live HARD during the summer in an attempt to soak up as much summer fun as possible while still maintaining adult status at work, with my family and with my finances. This summer will most likely be the ultimate test to see just how well I can successfully burn the candle at both ends. There's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead, right?

Portland, Oregon is a city where people are constantly creating.
But usually this can mean tucking oneself away to do just that. Finding a community to participate in and grow with, can be a difficult task, especially for the newer influx of residents. Between trying meet-ups and opening your senses just wide enough to catch wind of places to find inspiration, it's quickly realized that the act of successfully finding community is an art form in and of itself.
To help the cities lovers of architecture in this search, we've listed and summarized our top five ongoing design and architecture-related events in the city. These events are open to anyone and everyone.
Curiosity Club
Fortnightly on Tuesdays from 6pm-7pm at Hand Eye Supply. Free.
427 NW Broadway, Portland, OR 97209
Childhood friends Tobias Berblinger and Will Lolcama host inspiring meetings with a presentation followed by Q+A from a diverse background of all things creative. The topics include but are definitely not limited to culture, design, science, technology, art, fabrication, design techniques and lost common knowledge. What makes Curiosity Club different from other ongoing meetings is their humble atmosphere for intimidating industries. Attendees learn from the presenters and other attendees alike. In the beginning and in the end, curiosity remains.
Creative Mornings
Monthly breakfast lecture. Varied locations and times. Free.
Creative Mornings is an ongoing lecture that actually happens in many other cities around the world and luckily, in Portland as well. The community within this particular entity is well-established, bringing people together since 2008. Individuals are highlighted each month and the level of thoughtfulness that goes into choosing is notable. Why else would you get up early to socialize? The next Creative Morning talk is Friday, April 17 from 8:30 to 10am at PNCA Shipley/Collins Mediatheque, and will be led by Charlie Brown who will discuss bridging the gap between social change movements and powerful institutions.
Once per year at the Ace Hotel. $15 advance/$20 door.
1022 SW Stark St, Portland, OR 97205
Local designers are given the chance to create their own world within Ace Hotel's second floor rooms. From previous years, it seems as though there are no rules. This event is an amazing one to be a part of, especially as a spectator. A ticket in gives you a unique perspective of the local design community.
First Thursday with Center for Architecture
Every first Thursday at the Center for Architecture. Free.
403 NW 11th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97209

Not in Austin? Team building activities near you
Contact Us! 512-222-3130 or 1-877-713-7238 or Click Here to Request More Information
There are two types of strategy planning meetings. The first type is where you try your best to stick to the agenda, but people go off on tangents, your ideas never actually happen, and everyone ends up walking away feeling like they wasted a bunch of time. The second type of strategy planning meeting is a lot more rare – it's focused, actionable, and actually helps drive your business forward.
With Strategy Planning Consulting, you can make sure your next strategic meeting is the more successful type. Your consultant will help your team prepare for the meetings with exercises and consulting sessions that develop the right mentality and attitude for planning effectively. They'll also be on-hand to help make sure the ground-breaking strategies you come up with are also practical, and help you come up with realistic strategies for making them happen.
You've never been to a strategy planning session like this before.
Individual Sessions – To start out, your consultant will hold individual sessions with key members of your team to identify what your goals are. You'll meet either via Skype or phone call to discuss your goals for the strategy planning session, and your consultant will use the information your team provides to build out the rest of the consultation program.
Team Sessions – Your team will gather for a series of exercises and discussions designed to develop their mentality and attitude towards strategy planning. Working with your consultant, your team will use their new mentality to create a ground-breaking strategy for the upcoming year.
Post-Consultation Sessions – For up to six months after your consultation, you'll be able to use your consultant as a free resource for additional support, via phone or email.
Each management consultation is developed by our team of professional consultants, who work with your group to deliver an experience that is practical and meaningful. Your consultant will come on-site to your office or meeting location in Austin, and work with your team in-person with live exercises and group discussions
While other consultants charge open-ended prices for their services, our consultation pricing all gets rolled into an easy, one-time fee. The Strategy Planning Consulting program ranges from $7,500 to $9,500 plus expenses per day for teams of up to 12 people, depending on length and complexity. This price includes all pre-consultation and post-consultation sessions.
Each leadership development program is developed by our team of professional consultants at Innate Leaders, who work with your group to deliver an experience that is meaningful, practical, and fun. Learn about Innate Leaders' leadership development solutions, and how custom programs can get to the heart of your team's leadership needs to help create sustainable changes.
The investment level for this event varies greatly depending on your group size, preferred location and event date. Please reach out to one of our friendly and knowledgeable Employee Engagement Consultants to discuss your objectives and budget. Together we'll figure out if this event is a great fit for your team!
"I was very impressed and pleased with the experience faciliatated by Austin Team Building. The instructor was great and very easily created an environment of interaction and communication. The participants filled out an evaluation for us at the closing of the day and all responded that the coaching was excellent and well worth the time out of the office."

Oh! Has she ever been waiting for this day!!
But a few days before we were set to throw that surprise party (in the midst of all our surgeries and anesthesia last week because that's the only time we could do it), she told me that she did NOT want a surprise party.
We did it almost a week in advance to catch her off guard, and her friend had her go with her to visit another friend at work so we could speedy quick grab everything and set this all up. No small feat especially since her friend accidentally backed into our truck on the way out (luckily only minimal damage), and all these kids started gathering.
What did we do without social media back in the day when someone wanted to throw a surprise party??
She came in wondering why there were all these streamers...somehow in her mind had the idea we were throwing a party for one of her friends (??). But she was so excited. Here's a part of the crew I could gather for a pic:
The kids were excited, especially Lu and Claire and their friends who are like bees to honey when any party hoopla is going on. That thing broke on the second whack....
So we are already pretty celebrated for the big day, but we have some other pretty fun things in store today that I'll get to some time soon.

Last week, in her post "On Writing", Vidya Sury tagged me to participate in a blog hop.
Because I love Vidya (her energy, message and writing style) and I love the questions, I said *Yes!* right away.
Part of the blog hop fun is to tag other participants to share their answers the following week. I received an enthusiastic, immediate "Yes!" from Peggy Nolan at Serendipity Smiles. Peggy is someone I have known since my earliest blogging days, quite a few years ago. Last year, Peggy wrote a prompt for one of my self-study courses Illuminate Your Heart Whispers: 30-Days of Love Prompts. It is a delight to share her skill and message with you again!
Peggy's Bio: Peggy Nolan is a self proclaimed vanquisher of fear, slayer of self-doubt and she's determined to be courageously creative. She's currently dusting off her poems and a flash fiction piece for publication on Kindle. You can keep tabs on her at her little corner of the Universe, Serendipity Smiles. Peggy lives in Derry, NH with her husband, Richard.
You can look for Peggy's article sharing her answers to the following questions, next week on her site (I will share the link in this space and also my community newsletter).
Sharing My Writing Process
What I love about this project is that the focus is on the craft of writing.
I have been writing since I was a young child. I carry around a notebook or journal everywhere I go. I know the power of words and I enjoy putting them together in a way that brings a smile to someone's heart and/or inspires them to create/connect/celebrate in delightful ways. And, I love sharing notecards and letters via snail mail!
Because my personal focus is on sharing enlivening energy that enriches and heals, I find that this 'heart home on the web' (Facets of Joy site) is a wonderful hub for a community that enjoys exploring ideas and practices together. Along with articles, I offer a variety of free collaborative ebooks, guided classes and services – the most fun (for me) way to share energy via this hub is through written word.
It is a delight to share my answers to these blog hop questions with you! (The same questions Vidya has answered and Peggy will be answering.)
1. What am I working on/writing?
When I facilitate ecourses, I don't write the daily prompts ahead of time. Instead, I write intuitively each day, integrating information from conversations in the class forum into the prompt. This keeps the energy fresh and the guidance relevant to that specific session. And it also means that there are some days that I write quite a lot (which I love)!
I am currently facilitating two classes Presence to Manifesting Money with Joy (registration is open through June 13, 2014) and I Believe in Magic 30-day Photo Journey (registration is open now for the September session).
I am also very excited to participate as a speaker in the free video summit "Supreme Feminine Essence"; I am writing an ebook (to share as a free gift with viewers).I will be speaking about the idea of your body as a sacred container; bringing your energy into your body, then tapping into elemental energy and sharing with others from that empowered space. The ebook will be a companion resource to that talk. (And oh, my – Morgana Rae, Laura Eisenhower, Rebecka Eggers are also participants – along with many other powerful women – I am so so excited!!!)
2. How does my work/writing differ from others in its genre?
I love this question because I tend to find and celebrate the connector energies between us, so to think about *differences* is interesting!
I stream right from my heart space – I often invite readers to feel into my words and I hadn't seen that specific request from many of my peers. Because I stream from heart space, my writing is not always grammatically correct but my words are full of love and gratitude; because your heart feels that, your mind passes right over the 'mistakes'.
I use my own photos from my personal collection instead of using stock photography. Again, this is because I focus on the energy I am sharing and I want readers to feel the fresh energy from nature/sunset/ocean that I experience and reflect through my photos (and it gives the reader a glimpse into my physical day, which opens connection and conversation).
I also weave energetic intention through my work with the use of color. Knowing that many readers skim, I use color to guide their eyes to specific points. I also use color that corresponds with specific chakra centers to invite an opening to idea and energy.
While I am laid-back in life, I am a perfectionist with my work, so knowing that I sometimes share mistakes used to bother me until I realized that makes me feel very accessible (and 'real') to my readers.
3. Why do I write what I do?
I choose topics that reflect light, love and gratitude. I think these energies are powerful, potent healing (we all have wounded spaces) and connective (which we all desire) energies.
I write whatever it is that my heart asks me to: I share pieces of my personal story, answer questions, explain practices of presence and energy movement and speak to relevant current experiences in society.
I write to learn. I ask questions and I value the different perspectives, wisdom and experiences shared in the answers. I believe your voice matters so I write in way that encourages conversation.
I write to inspire movement. There are many people in situations that are painful beyond comprehension. I have been *there* and I write so that people will consider options, explore beyond the limitations they perceive and perhaps choose to move (energetically and physically) from chaos and pain to peace and possibility. It can be a difficult, heart-wrenching time and it helps to know you are not alone and to be reminded of who you are at base, beyond what you may feel while in pain.
4. How does my writing process work?
All of my work evolves naturally. I feel a nudge, I need to write and it flows effortlessly; if I don't feel that nudge, I don't write. I have not been successful while attempting to ignore that nudge – it is persistent and strong until I give it full expression.
I have a morning 'routine' which involves meditation, some sort of physical movement and streaming morning pages – someplace in all of that a heart whisper arises, I feel into it and write. I never know ahead of time what it will be, yet, it tends to flow with whatever I had previously written.
As a single mother of two children, most of my day is spent with them, so I write while they are in school. This means that I stream it all out to get the complete feeling in and I might return to the piece later to edit. I don't have large blocks of uninterrupted time – I have small blocks scattered throughout each day.
Because I, in essence, 'channel energy' if I have left a piece for more than a day, it no longer feels the same and I don't use it. When I am writing books, I have to write a complete chapter at a time or the feel becomes choppy and won't resonate with readers.
While most writers focus on the words; I focus on the energy in the words. I believe that our creative expressions hold our energy so when I am writing, I intentionally center into peace, love, gratitude and joy. I have to be centered and open to the process or I can't write.
If I am writing a collaborative piece or a guest article, I have to receive the theme a few weeks ahead of time so I can bring it to my heart space and feel into the energy. Because of that, I turn down lots of requests – the energy has to be completely resonant for words to naturally pour out. I can't force my writing.
I wish they had asked, how do you move through writer's block! I would love to hear others processes!
Dear Reader, I am asking *you* when you are creatively blocked, how do you move through it? (when you share, you inspire)
Thank you for your presence!
Much peace and abundant love,
Please note: The Full Moon Magic 50%-off Flash Sale is open through 11:59p (pdt) June 14, 2014. I am offering 50% 0ff Here to Listen sessions.

Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops to End All Ice PopsHeather Schmitt-Gonzalez | All Roads Lead to the Kitchen
Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops are the perfect boozy summer treat. Enjoy the taste and beauty of a classic Tequila Sunrise cocktail in the form of an icy cold popsicle; a cocktail on a stick!
Who says popsicles are just for kids? Not me! I dabble in the art of ice pop making year-round, but come summertime, my friends and family tell me I'm a force to be reckoned with. As soon as the air ceases to drop below 70 degrees or so, no liquid is exempt from the freezer.
Over the years, I've built up quite the collection of popsicle molds - a girl needs options. People always ask me where I get my molds. Some I've purchased online from Amazon, some I've received as gifts (friends, you know me so well), but most are ones that I've spotted in supermarkets and dollar stores over the years.
Keep your eyes peeled for seasonal end caps. When summer draws near, you'll find all sorts of fun props and tools, including popsicle molds. If I see a popsicle mold for a dollar or two or three, I'll pick up a couple. Not only is it fun to have a variety of shapes and sizes of molds at home to choose from, it also allows you to make more at once!
Freezer too crowded to hold six different varieties of ice pops in their molds at once? No problem. Start by lining up squares (they don't have to be perfect) of wax paper that are large enough to wrap individual ice pops. When the pops are frozen solid, remove the pops from the molds, and then wrap each one in wax paper. Slide the individually wrapped molds into a gallon-sized freezer bag, and then put that back into the freezer.
I tend to have at least one bag of "kid popsicles" and one bag of "adult popsicles" in the freezer at all times during the summer. Kid popsicles are really just anybody popsicles. And as I'm sure you can guess, the adult ones are boozy! I love trying new boozy combinations, and have used everything from beer to wine to tequila to rum.
Today, I took the flavors and look of a classic cocktail (the Tequila Sunrise) and transformed them into a cocktail on a stick. They are good. No, they are beyond good - they are FANTASTIC! It takes a little more effort to make these than just pouring and freezing since you want to form (muddled) layers, but it's only an extra 5 minutes here and there during the freezing process. Totally worth it.
So adults, kick back and enjoy. And yes, you could make Virgin Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops by leaving out the tequila in the layers. But don't the kids have enough options already?
p.s. - Dollar stores are also great places to pick up large packs of wooden popsicle sticks (often labeled wooden craft sticks) and wax paper for a steal!
It's no secret we love a good popsicle around here. Our homemade green monster popsicles and chocolate malt pudding pops are proof of that!
Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops Recipe
IngredientsFirst Layer:
- 4 ounces Orange Juice, freshly squeezed or pulp-free store-bought
- 1 tablespoon Simple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Tequila
- 1/2 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water
- 4 ounces Orange Juice, freshly squeezed or pulp-free store-bought
- 1 tablespoon Simple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Tequila
- 1/2 teaspoon Pomegranate Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Grenadine Syrup
- 1/4 cup Pomegranate Juice, plus 3 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons Grenadine Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Tequila
- Stir together the ingredients for each layer separately. Cover and place the 2nd and 3rd layer mixtures in the fridge for now.
- Divide the 1st layer evenly between 6 (2.5 ounce) or 5 (3 ounce) popsicle molds. Set on a level surface in the freezer for 45-60 minutes.
- Remove from freezer and slowly pour in the second layer. Freeze for 30 minutes, then poke wooden popsicle sticks through the center, and freeze for another 30 minutes.
- Remove from freezer and slowly pour in the 3rd layer. Return to freezer and freeze until solid, 4-6 hours.
- Some popsicle molds come with "built-in" plastic sticks. I prefer using wooden popsicle sticks, so I store those "extra" plastic sticks in a container (in case I ever want to give the complete mold away).
- To hold the wooden sticks steady in the center of the ice pops, cover the mold with a sheet of plastic wrap (or foil) that is pulled taut across the top and secured with a rubber band. Use a small, thin knife (like a paring knife) to cut a thin slit centered over each opening. Don't make it bigger than the popsicle stick itself, or it won't hold it steady. Slide the sticks through the openings and into a popsicle that is about half-set; freeze until solid.
- If you're making layered ice pops, add the plastic and slide the stick in once the molds are about 2/3 of the way full. Freeze for a while longer and then continue with your layering.

Helicopters buzzing over head, hundreds of cops, and twice as many reporters. This was the scene outside of Ronald Regan UCLA Hospital. News trucks lined the streets as thousands gathered outside the place where the King of Pop rests for the time being. Flipping through all my stored radio stations four out of the six stations are playing Michael. The music world has truly lost an Icon.
Looking on twitter, facebook, myspace, and google the word spread fast. First it was a heart attack then it was confirmed. The King of Pop died at the age of fifty from a heart attack. The last time we have seen a media frenzy over a death like this was Princess Diana. Michael Jackson is up there with Elvis, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, and all the former great musicians who have passed. He has inspired so many and will be missed. Below are some pictures I was able to get of the scene outside the hospital with everyone paying tribute to the King of Pop.

[RR] "What other lists do you have?" Roderick the Rock continued.
[SS] "Well, there are a bunch of useful if boring ones", Stan the Stat responded.

- Hand Ranks: Full-table ranking order of poker hands
- Heads-Up All-In Equity: Heads-up ranking of all possible starting hands
- Outs-to-Odds/Percentages: Convert outs to percentages to calculate your pot odds
[SS] "Oh, I know another good one: my favorite poker quotes. Some of these quotes aren't specific to Texas Hold 'Em, but they certainly all apply to the game:"
|Henry Fonda
|As Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine
|Sir, I really like poker. Every hand has its different problems.
|Herbert Yardley
|A card player should learn that once the money is in the pot, it isn't his any longer.
|Jackie Robinson1
|Baseball Player
|Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.
|Crandell Addington
|Poker Pro
|Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you.
|Johnny Moss
|Poker Pro
|Hold'em is to stud and draw what chess is to checkers.
|Anthony Holden
|Poker Pro
|Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped bare at the poker table; if the other poker players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in poker, as in life.
|Rick Bennet
|Author, in King of a Small World
|In the long run there's no luck in poker, but the short run is longer than most people know.
|Matt Damon
|As Mike McDermott in Rounders2
|Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
|Al Alvarez
|Author, in Poker: Bets, Bluffs, and Bad Beats
|Hold'em is a game of calculated aggression: If your cards are good enough for you to call a bet, they are good enough to raise with.
|Phil Hellmuth3
|Poker Pro
|Honey, honey, I was supposed to go broke on that hand, honey. But they forgot one thing: I can dodge bullets, baby. {Said after making a good laydown in the WSOP Main Event}
- Somehow, "Jackie Robinson" isn't a popular Hand Nickname. If you said you just folded "Jackie Robinson", most baseball fans would know you held the Four-Two (Major League Baseball officially retired Robinson's 42 for every team in 1997, and the last player allowed to wear it, Mariano Rivera, will retire this week).
- You can't play in a poker tournament without hearing at least one Rounders quote. More than a few other good poker quotes can be found in IMDB's list of quotes.
- Phil Hellmuth may ham it up for the TV cameras, but he sure is quotable.

Are you stressed?
Friday, December 11, 2009 at 11:58AM
Well, we are officially well into the holiday season. Bring on the stress!
With family, children, gifts, cookies, parties, holiday orders and much more, it's easy to understand why you might be feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment! Take a deep breath! Here are some easy, straight-forward ways to eliminate some of that stress this holiday season!
- Don't take on more than you can handle! It's ok to tell someone no if you need to! Don't feel guilty! If you add something to your list this year, take something else off!
- Prioritize! Make your list and stick to it! Manage your time and do the most pressing things first. That way, if something gets left out its most likely to be something less important!
- Focus on your kids! Nothing will bring you more joy than spending time with and enjoying your children! After all, they are why you do everything you do!
- Be honest! Not only with others but with yourself! If you really don't want to attend your great-aunt Nancy's grandaughters Christmas gathering, don't!
- Take time off! Just because you are an entrepreneur doesn't mean you have to work on holidays! Enjoy taking a few days off, you'll be more rested and ready to tackle 2010!

On Tuesday, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Thomas Frieden warned that the West African Ebola outbreak is "spiraling out of control."
This Ebola graphic from Reuters makes the pattern of disease, which began spreading slowly in the spring before spinning out of control this summer, frighteningly clear: Ebola begins with flu-like symptoms and escalates into vomiting, diarrhea, and often bleeding. It has infected 3,069 people and killed 1,552 in West Africa this year, primarily in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. (A limited number of cases have been reported in Nigeria and Senegal, and a separate, smaller outbreak is underway in the Democratic Republic of Congo.)
On August 29, the World Health Organization reported that more than "40% of the total number of cases have occurred within the past 21 days." In Liberia, where — according to the WHO — "the capacity to cope with the increasing caseload remains dramatically low," an even higher proportion of total cases (63%) have emerged in recent weeks, suggesting that the death toll there will continue to rise sharply.
Last week, the WHO warned that Ebola, which is spread via the bodily fluids of a sickened person, could ultimately infect 20,000 people before it is brought under control. The virus, Frieden said, "is moving faster than anyone anticipated."

my beautiful brazilian blow out looked perfect and everyone from the receptionist to my colleagues to my supervisor praised me today!
The brazilian blow out process took 2 hours long. My hair looks super fluffy, shiny and sleek now and I love it like hell
Very fast and exactly what I asked for. I am in love with the way my nails are looking. Thanks a bunch
this is my first time here and I'm highly satisfied with the service, prices, quality and faculty too
I badly needed a facial and when i came here i was expecting a very high price but instead it was very reasonable. I have even paid 100 dirhams for a facial but it wasnt worth it.. this one cost me less and was so much better.. i felt compltely refreshed.. and the packages. I have falln in love with the pedicure with scrub.. she scrubbed my foot thoroughly and then gave me a foot massage in the end too which won me over. I really want to be back
I badly needed some hair treatment as my hair was falling in clumps and they were driving me insane. The well mannered and professional ladies here advised me to get a hot oil hair treatment. Must to my surprise, they also told me that i can get a haircut and manicure along with it on discounted prices. That just made my day even more better and i left feeling confident and happy to get my hair back in shape.
I came here for an ombré hair dye and I couldn't be any happier with the results! The different shades just melt into one another so effortlessly. I'm ABSOLUTELY in love with it and I've already gotten so many compliments on it. I also got a nice trim which my hair desperately need. the hairstylist seriously put the life back into my hair and she was fun to talk to. I recommend you come to this amazing salon if you want to add some pep into your step.
The hairstylist I got, I cannot say enough positive things about her. She is very talented with color and cutting techniques. She helped in correcting a previous color that had gone bad and looked weird with my complexion. She took her time with me and she looked for ways to make my hair look stunning and great. Definitely a must-visit salon.
My visit included Face, Hair, Hair Removal, and I rate my experience 4 stars.
You know you got a good haircut when you're immediately complimented as you step out of the salon. Such was my experience here and I am completely flattered by all the compliments that I have been getting since the day I got my haircut from here. Definitely my choice of salon for now
My visit included Hair, Hair Removal, and I rate my experience 5 stars.
I found out about the deal of having a haircut plus hot oil massage and the manicure. The cost was so reasonable that i couldnt miss it out for anything. As expected, the experienced staff at millionair didnt let me down and i left this place being more in love with this exceptional spa
My first experiece and it turned out soo amazing. Great prices, great service. Best salon I've been to... Def not a fancy salon, but all the girls that work there know what they are doing and they do it good. They get the job done for outstanding prices, and that's what I love about millionaire. They do take walk-ins, but it's best to make an appointment to ensure you get your stylist. I highly recommend this salon :)
My sister suggested me to come here to get my nails done. I love keeping my nails long and i make sure that they are properly cared for. I was nervous in trying a new place but it probably was one of the best experiences for me.. After giving me a nice manicure, the lady taking care of me shaped my nails making them look extra cool and also helped me choose a bright neon blue color to make em look extra funky! Thanks for making me happy :D

The bass bar is important both structurally and acoustically. A piece of spruce is split rather than sawn. This is to ensure that the grain runs straight along the complete length of the bar. The split piece is then planed down to about 5.5mm in this case.
For fitting, the front is clamped into a frame which holds it without distortion. The bas bar will run along the bass side of the front, running under the position of the bridge foot almost but not quite parallel to the centre join. It is important to get really good contact between the lower surface of the bar and the belly. Using the unshaped bar as a guide a series of little blocks is glued in place so that the bar can always be placed in the same position as I begin to shape it. This is done by chalk fitting. The area where the bar is to be sited is chalked and when the rough bar is put in place and very slightly moved longitudinally. Where the bar is touching it will be marked with the chalk and these high points are removed by knife or small plane. This process is repeated and gradually more and more of the bar is chalked. Finally when the whole bar is marked (and therefore in good contact) you breathe a sigh of relief, open a can and heat up the glue! For me at least bass bar fitting is not one of the most exciting episodes in making a violin!
The bar has been glued in position and left overnight. After removing the locating blocks the bar is ready to be taken to its final shape.
The bar has now arrived at its final shape using a small plane and scraper. It is now 270mm long, 13mm at the high point, tapering down to 3mm at the ends. In cross section it is tapered from the 5.5mm base to give an arch-shaped profile.

I have created this violin making blog in the form of a "photo-essay" with a number of objectives in mind;
- to allow the client to keep in touch with the instrument that has been commissioned.
- to act as a personal record of the process of making a specific violin model.
- it may be of some interest to players or makers who may happen to come across it.
Violin making is a slow process, frequently interrupted by other work such as repairs etc. This will not therefore be a daily diary but a series of updates detailing progress. In addition I intend to include some pages which are unrelated to this instrument but which may be of interest to violin enthusiasts
