Handbook of SCADA/Control Systems Security
Edited by Robert Radvanovsky, Jacob Brodsky
CRC Press – 2013 – 383 pages
CRC Press – 2013 – 383 pages
The availability and security of many services we rely upon—including water treatment, electricity, healthcare, transportation, and financial transactions—are routinely put at risk by cyber threats. The Handbook of SCADA/Control Systems Security is a fundamental outline of security concepts, methodologies, and relevant information pertaining to the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and technology that quietly operate in the background of critical utility and industrial facilities worldwide.
Divided into five sections, the book examines topics comprising functions within and throughout industrial control systems (ICS) environments. Topics include:
The final chapters outline the data relied upon for accurate processing, discusses emerging issues with data overload, and provides insight into the possible future direction of ISC security.
The book supplies crucial information for securing industrial automation/process control systems as part of a critical infrastructure protection program. The content has global applications for securing essential governmental and economic systems that have evolved into present-day security nightmares. The authors present a "best practices" approach to securing business management environments at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels.

A creepy clown show for the Chemical Brothers film night at #adidasunderground.
London, August 3, 2012.
Occupy London is occupying @ Bank of England, outside the Royal exchange. 2 to 300 folks initially, police kettling, then arresting people one by one, apparently 20 protesters still on the steps; there are reports of coppers punching people.

London Riots. (The BBC will never replay this. Send it out) (by mYcHeMiCaLrOmAnCeGaL)
'Darcus Howe, a West Indian Writer and Broadcaster with a voice about the riots. Speaking about the mistreatment of youths by police leading to an up-roar and the ignorance of both police and the governement. Intelligent black male. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE!
(Also, did anyone notice that the interviewer tried to make him ignorant… Complete back-fire I must say)'

Meanwhile, in London
(via coqbaroque)
Violence in Liverpool - BBC News 24 saying there are reports of disturbances from Manchester as well.
(via coqbaroque)
A few words.
It's easy to dismiss the rioters as "scum with nothing better to do" but there are much deeper problems here. As a young, male, ethnic minority in the inner city myself, chances are, I probably know some of these people. I can relate to the feelings of helplessness. I've been fortunate enough to be successful as a musician myself and been able to create my own positive future, but these kids rioting don't see themselves having a future at all. They have been failed by society as a whole, they've been failed by the government cutting arts funding and closing youth centres, unemployment is rife to the point where even the ones desperately trying to seek work simply can't find it, and the boiling point to all this (Mark Duggan events) is a situation that is VERY REAL. I myself have been stopped and searched many times by police for no given reason. They raided my apartment at 6.30 in the morning once while my wife and I were asleep claiming they'd had reports of a disturbance. I've been questioned for gang activity that I had no part of, because of how I look and where I come from. It's simple racial profiling, and whilst that is NOT an excuse for the behaviours of rioters, the sad fact is that it happens.
We live in pretty desperate times as a whole, and the inner city youth are at the bottom of the barrel. So whilst this behaviour IS disgusting, try and have some compassion and relate to fellow human beings who literally feel hopeless and don't see a way out. When you think about, the right emotion to feel in some of the cases is just sadness and pity - kids robbing a flat screen TV when they see an opportunity to… because they know they'll never be able to afford it. Is a kid robbing some trainers that different to a corrupt politician fiddling the expenses accounts, or corrupt policemen and journalists taking bribes (as we've seen in the phone-hacking scandals?). So what kind of example are those people setting?
Remember, most of these kids looting ARE just opportunists. It's only the really violent ones smashing the windows, the rest just go in after them and take what they can. I have faith in humanity and I don't think that most of these kids are bad people. I really don't. They are the lost ones, neglected and marginalized, in many cases without the basic education to understand that there are better ways to go about life.
You don't have to condone their actions to have some compassion and to ask yourself, is there anything I can do to help? Even if there isn't - ranting and dismissing them as animals isn't going to help. The latter is precisely why many of them act the way they do. I'm not saying you can't be angry at what they've done…but I think we all owe each other a few minutes thought at exactly why things like this happen.
Just my own personal thoughts and opinions. You don't have to agree, but hopefully you can respect them and my right to have them.
It seems events in Birmingham might be calming, so hopefully I won't have to continue this blog much longer, if at all. We'll see how the events unfold. Remember to stay safe, folks. I need to take a break and have a drink and when I come back, hopefully there won't be a need to report further. I can't say that'll definitely be the case, but let's all hope so.
classe: well said.
Just try to imagine what would happen if this spontaneous* and genuine acts of rebellion find a direction and a leadership.
If these young rioters would been politically prepared.
They could fight for a better society and for a better world but finally they are fighting for a "television that they can't afford".
Since they have recognized the problem (capitalism), they are still focusing on the wrong objective.
And this is the results of the well assembled weapons of consumerism and individualism.
The lack of strong labour movements and unions leading the youngsters will finally conduct the new birth revolutionary movement to his natural death, bound to be no more than a flash in the pan.
*rage is never spontaneous. In this case spontaneity is an obvious consequence of the socio-economics background that lead to the cuts and austherity.
Welcome to England (please loot orderly)

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., (UPI) — Police in Pennsylvania said a 12-year-old boy is accused of using a BB gun to hold up a lemonade stand operated by a 10-year-old boy.
Johnstown police Sgt. Patrick Goggin said officers responded to the stand in a Johnstown neighborhood at 5:43 p.m. Monday and determined a 12-year-old boy had robbed a 10-year-old boy operating a lemonade stand, The (Johnstown) Tribune Democrat reported Thursday.
"He had what appeared to be a handgun in his pocket," Goggin said.
He said the 12-year-old allegedly threatened to shoot the other boy if he didn't hand over the cash.
"They got into a wrestling match over the money box," he said.
The older boy tore apart the stand and made off with $30, Goggin said.
Goggin said three other children witnessed the incident and led officer's to the suspect's home.
The 12-year-old's weapon was determined to be a BB gun, Goggin said.
Police said the boy will be charged in juvenile court.

Welcome to the Mathematics Department at Rolling Hills Prep School. As math teachers, we feel that students must have a solid foundation in order to successfully progress. Therefore, we are happy to teach in a school with small classes, which allow us to individualize instruction and reach every one of our students. We believe that all students can learn math, and it is our sincere hope that all of our students leave the class with a love of learning and a strong sense of confidence. We know that not all students will become mathematicians but while they are in our classrooms, they will learn and use problem solving skills which will better them as people and as students. These skills will help them as life-long learners, especially in today's technological society.
Each teacher plans lessons that capture students regardless of their learning style. For those who are visual, we draw and explain our concepts on the white boards or on SMART boards, and use guided notes for students to transfer that information. For those students who are auditory learners, we explain a concept as many ways as needed to get the point across. Then, to reinforce the learning, the students practice kinesthetically at the many white boards all around the classrooms. It is our goal that no student leaves the room not understanding what was taught that day.
In order to prepare our students for 21st Century careers and to give them the skills needed in college, we incorporate many types of technology to support math learning. Whether using Geometer's Sketchpad to manipulate points, lines and angles to be able to visualize how the concepts work, or by using Wikis, blogs, and creating creative media projects on the computer to cement what was learned in the classroom, students tie math with the real world. Students are part of a Moodle (an online classroom) where "outside of the box" types of thinking can be done while at home and on their own time. Communicating about math and solving problems together, both inside and outside of the classroom, is the future - and at RHP it is also the present.
Each of the dedicated math teachers are passionate about their subjects and can be found "doing math problems" for fun during lunch with the kids outside. For those students serious about math, we offer both upper school (through the American Mathematics Competition) and middle school math competition teams (through Mathcounts). The leadership and camaraderie that is built between the students, while preparing for the competition, is fun to watch.
Whether learning basic math skills in the sixth grade, or taking Calculus AB/BC AP as a senior, the Mathematics Department at Rolling Hills Prep will place you where you will be the most successful, and will then guide you through your math career. Math is fun, exciting, and valuable, especially when you take it at RHP.

Tiger: 'My Wife Went Through My Phone'
Apparently Tiger Woods knew his wife might be on to his alleged "transgressions" when he called 24-year-old cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs and begged her to remove her name from her outgoing voice mail message.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful.

I need help!!!
im fairly new to this and on last friday brought canon 20d, 100usm macro, 100-400l is usm, 2x exrender and aload of other stuff.
Upon using the 100-400 i thinks its great, but when i put the extender on aswell i cannot auto focus because it will not go any lower than f11, it says on the box it needs to be f 5.4 or lower to focus, also i seem to be getting noise with the extender on, i am using it mainly in apeture priority, is there a rule of thumb or such like i need to know so as to get the most from my 800mm, i have one shot in my PF so far from using 800mm that was not too bad but the others well not so good.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers Luke J
Luke when you put on the extender you will be losing 2 stops of light due to the extra glass, perhaps more. Long zooms are notoriously slow anyway and the extender worsens this. Manual focus is a fact of life with that setup.
In general if you want to use a long zoom and extender together you need either plenty of light or to increase the iso speed.
Re the noise you report, this is probably due to the longer exposures or higher iso you are having to use, unless the extender is dusty. :0)
Ian, beat me to it.
Luke from the Canon description for the 2x convertor:
Quote: With the Extender attached, the f-number decreases by two stops. Auto-focusing is possible with lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or faster.
Agree with Ian re noise, check your ISO settings (althought the 20 is known for low noise) and shutter speed.
Thanks for that, i was using iso 100/200 on them maybe need to go higher in fair i was shooting the shots a bit dark to capture better detail then when i went to lighten them up thus i was getting noise, i was also using manual focus on them, need some practise on that front....
thanks again
the blue tit in my PF was shot at iso200 but i did have a bright wall in the background maybe this is why it come out better??
You were probably under exposing the shots. I had this problem and thought my 10D was noisy at high ISO. What infact was hapening was I was setting the speed and the camera was running into the widest apperture and underexposing when I wasn't looking!! I tried the otherday increasing the ISO so the histogram moved back to the right and the shots wern't under exposed and most of the noise disappeared. I would love to lay claim to this idea but there was a very informative thread that ran on here a couple of weeks ago discussing whether the long held view that you should always under expose a DSLR actually held water. Apparently the decision was it doesn't!!
A 2X converter on a f5.6 lens is not a combination I would recommend. I know it's an IS lens but I think working without a tripod a 800mm is not going to produce good results, and MF is not easy when you have such a narrow DOF and you are looking through a dark view finder.
I find it difficult enough with a 1.4x on my 400mm f5.6 prime lens (although I now have AF with that combo as I've upgraded to a 1D) personaly I would not persist with the 2x and return it for a refund unless you plan to buy some fast glass in the near future.
Also if you're patient and sit still, you'll be able to get closer to your bluetits and fill the frame at much smaller focal lengths. 200mm should be easily done, again provided you don't move too much and stay quiet for a while.
800mm would be of more use when taking photographs of much more timid "wilder" birds than those that frequent gardens but as Paul correctly says, 2x TC plus a starting aperture of f5.6 is pretty much unworkable.

Japanese-style Black Sesame Okra Salad :)
Because of my kitchen deprivation for the past 2.5 months, I created this on the same day I made Coconut-Peanut Ice Cream and my Coco Loco Vegan Waffles.
I felt a shortage of vegetables, particularly of the green, and relatively un-greasy variety, while I was in Sri Lanka. So, I attacked all green and/or leafy vegetables in sight. One of my first tasty victims was the Okra in this ridiculously easy, surprisingly tasty, simple and fresh salad, which some of its early doubters now claims could rival movie food and/or pulutan. Simply:
Magic Bread Bakeshop: Cheap Vegetarian Food & TVP Source
After my often referenced vegetarian food cooking session, I went on a quest for the "strange" vegetarian ingredients, the first one being TVP or Textured Vegetable Protein. Alessa referred me to the Magic Bread Bakeshop, which I later found out also offered some cheap vegetarian eats. Not being of burgers, veggie or non-veggie ones, I didn't find the food particularly compelling, specially since I went there with one goal in mind: to buy TVP. What's TVP?

Not that what we prepared was the most basic of vegetarian fare, but that it was simple enough to do, and that I got some vegetarian cooking fundamentals when I got introduced to Chia Seeds, Nutritional Yeast, Liquid Aminos and TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein).
I also decided to do a wee bit of research on my own, and here's the super simple low-down (I didn't go all-out geek, I promise!) for those of you exploring vegetarian fare as well.]
TVP or TEXTURED VEGETABLE PROTEIN
Vegetarian Recipe #2: Tofu Fajitas by Nomad Manager
This was inspired by the yummy tofu fajitas I first tasted at Tomato Kick probably some time in the latter half of 2010, and kick started into action by a firmer resolve to whip up vegetarian / healthier home-cooked fare on a regular basis, which started with my attempt at tofu BBQ.
So anyway, for this recipe, you'll need:
- Firm tofu or tokwa
- Fajita sauce (Okay, so I cheated here. I used McCormick Taco Mix, but you can properly use the fajita mix instead. The grocery was just out of fajita mix that day and I figured tacos and fajitas taste the same anyway.)
- Garlic yogurt sauce (This is a healthier option to sour cream — also an excellent sauce for tofu bbq, which winds up tasting like a tofu kebab with this sauce.)
- - 1 cup plain yogurt, the real, unextended, sour type
- - 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- - A few stalks of cilantro, minced (love this stuff!)
- - Salt to taste
- Tomatoes, diced
- Iceberg lettuce, shredded
- Cheese, grated
- Flour tortillas
I made the yogurt sauce a day ahead to let the garlic flavors mellow a bit.
The tofu I bought came in roughly 2x2x2 cubes, so I cut them into 3 thinner 2x2x.66(?) cubes.
Fry the tofu until lightly golden brown. After cooling them, cut them into strips, and coat and simmer them in the fajita sauce.
Assemble the fajita on a flour tortilla (grill it first, if desired) by layering on your tofu, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and blops (big drops) of the garlic yogurt sauce (do not use to much as this is strongly garlicky and sour).
Roll, bite and let the yumminess dance in your mouth. :D
My mother was against me posting this recipe in my blog because she prefers good recipes to remain secret. But since: a) I don't think many people read my blog, and b) those who do might be too lazy to actually try this at home anyway, I am posting anyway.
And if you happen to be one of those rare individuals who actually does attempt this, then yay! I have brainwashed you into doing so. And when you try it, you'll be brainwashed into believing that HEY, vegetarian food CAN be yummy! (I swear, you won't look for the meat in this dish.)
Soy advocate and brainwasher extraordinaire,
Vegetarian Recipe #1: Tofu BBQ by Nomad Manager
If you hang out with me often or if you read my blog, or at least this entry on Grill Queen's Tofu BBQ, then you'll know I love these grilled cubes of soy on a stick.
Because of my fondness for this food and my inclinations to recreate things I feel are feasibly recreate-able, I went ahead and attempted my own version of tofu BBQ.
The weekend before Holy Week, I had attempted this recipe without resorting to frying the tofu before grilling it. And while it was a tasty option of its own, I prefer this fried version, which I served to my family for Easter lunch. Sorry to the anti-fryers. :P
There's probably a variety of basting sauces you can prepare to suit your taste, but I stuck to:
Basic inihaw marinade/basting sauce
- 1 part soy sauce
- 1 part brown sugar
- calamansi to taste (I'd say about 1 part calamansi for every 3-4 parts of soy sauce)
You'll also need firm tofu or tokwa, of course. You can cut them up into bigger cubes if you want to retain more of the tofu taste, or smaller if you like your food uber saucy / tasty. I'd say something slightly smaller then 1" cubes are roughly a good size.
Lightly shallow fry, or deep fry them if you wish, but I opted to go for shallow frying so I wouldn't waste too much oil. Don't fry them to the point of crispiness though; fry them only until they form a light golden brown skin.
Skewer the fried tofu cubes onto BBQ sticks. Allowing them time to cool first would be advisable unless you have really thick skin.
Baste / soak the tofu with your sauce, put them onto the grill, baste, grill all four sides, baste all four sides.
Then, ENJOY (I hope), either on its own or with your favorite sawsawan mix!
My sister-in-law tried it with a garlic yogurt sauce I made for my tofu fajitas, and it made it taste like a tofu kebab! :P
I kinda tend to be lazy with my measurements (memories of my favorite childhood cook, The Urban Peasant, come to mind), so yeah, there really are no hard and fast rules. So go ahead and tweak the above recipe to make it your own. Send me a message when you do! I'd love to know your take on it. :D
Rock & roll cooking,

Regionalism, Nationalism and Social Gospel Support in the Ecumenical Movement of Canadian Presbyterianism
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Religious Sciences
J.J. Mol
The thesis is a critical examination of the social and cultural factors operative in the ecumenical movement of Canadian Presbyterianism that led to the formation of the United Church of Canada in 1925. Canadian ecumenicity is examined in the light of contemporary international research in the sociology of ecumenism. The thesis employs both historical materials and statistical records to discover the salient variables influencing support add opposition to church union.
It is the central contention of the thesis that support and opposition to church union were motivated by a complex of variables relating to regionalism, nationalism and the social gospel movement. The issues that divided the Presbyterian Church in the ecumenical controversy were the same issues that divided English speaking Canada. It is our contention that the creation of a national united church was seen as a vehicle for the systematic redemption of Canadian society, that it was an attempt to dramatically reform and redefine confederation. It is our final contention that the vision of a new society or the hope of attaining a comparable ideal is an essential component for the accomplishment of an extensive inter-denominational church merger in an industrialized nation.

Alternatives to Incarceration
Photo Courtesy of: Clara Vannucci
Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) , STEPS' first program, was founded in 1986 and is currently run by a small interdisciplinary team of social workers, advocates, and lawyers who provide clinical, legal, advocacy, and case management services. We take on cases in all five boroughs where defendants are victims of domestic violence and have an open criminal case related to their histories of abuse. Upon intake, all clients are assigned an Advocate-Counselor who will work with them to develop a treatment plan that best meets their needs.
We work closely with the courts and the client's attorney. We accompany clients to court and monitor their progress, providing compliance reports as requested. The program is free of charge and provides services in English and Spanish. We work with clients in our East Harlem or Brooklyn offices, in the field, at Court and at Rose M. Singer Center, the woman's jail at Riker's Island.
Eligible ATI clients have:
- A history of domestic violence or sexual abuse as an adult or in childhood
- Been arrested on criminal charges related to this abuse
- Willingness to participate in the program a minimum of 4 months for misdemeanor cases and 6 months for felony cases.
The ATI intake process includes a preliminary assessment (by phone or in person) and a screening interview (in person) which can be conducted at our offices in East Harlem or Brooklyn, at Court, on Riker's Island or at a referring agency.
If a client is not accepted into the STEPS ATI program, the client and the referring agency are notified. The client is referred to appropriate STEPS domestic violence programs or other services in the community.
Follow the links provided, below, to read about our Riker's-based work:
- New York Times published multimedia article regarding our Riker's events
- New York Daily News published article regarding Holiday festivities to benefit the women on Riker's Island
- New York Daily News published article regarding the work a former STEPS Intern (now a volunteer), who developed a book drive to benefit the women on Riker's Island
- Queens Tribune Online article, "Women Behind Bars Get Hope From Books"
Individual Counseling: Short-term individual domestic violence and supportive counseling is available to address issues in greater depth as well as to assist with additional referrals or safety planning as needed.
Legal Advocacy: Based on initial legal needs assessment, individual treatment plans may include court and legal advocacy for client's who have collateral legal issues related to their history of abuse including Family Court matters, immigration issues, and housing concerns
Groups: We provide weekly day and evening groups at our East Harlem and Brooklyn offices and at Rose M. Singer Center on Riker's Island. Our group curricula are proprietary to STEPS and have been developed and refined over the past 24 years. Clients who attend 10 out of 12 group sessions receive a Certificate of Completion which is recognized by the Courts. Return carfare is provided as are snacks. A limited number of childcare spots are also available. Groups are available in English and Spanish depending on need.
ATI counselors travel to Rose M. Singer Center, the women's prison on Riker's Island, to work with incarcerated clients on an almost daily basis. In addition to facilitating three events for women incarcerated here – a Thanksgiving Assembly in November, a Family Reunification Event in December with family members, and a Mother's Day Celebration in May – ATI conducts ongoing domestic violence programming at Rose M. Singer. Women are referred to participate in these groups by word of mouth, by attorneys and social workers, by other service providers at Riker's or because they are existing ATI clients.

The 2014 NBA Draft will be a historic one for Canadian basketball, with as many as seven players from Canada - three of them as high as the first round - possibly selected. In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Watch the 2014 NBA Draft on TSN, Thursday at 7pm et/4pm pt.
Name: Tyler EnnisFrom: Brampton, OntarioPlayed: Syracuse University Height: 6'2Weight: 180 Position: Point Guard2013-2014 Stats: 12.9 points, 5.5 assists, 2.1 steals Breakout Game: 14 points, 9 assists in win vs. Duke Feb 1st.Accolades: 2013 - '14 All-ACC Defensive team, Second team All-ACC, finished amongst 10 finalists for Naismith Player of the Year voting. Draft Projection: Mid-late first round.Comparable NBA player: Jrue Holiday
While all attention was focused on the impact Andrew Wiggins would make in his first season as a one-and-done player, Tyler Ennis quietly and confidently did the same.
Maturity and poise are two things consistently said about Ennis, and with good reason. As a freshman the 6'2 Brampton, Ontario native expertly and efficiently lead the Orange to a 28-6 record and a No. 1 ranking in the country.
The only person who wasn't surprised by Ennis' breakout season was Ennis. It wasn't a case of over confidence, but merely confidence. His assuredness in his abilities and talents is what kept him cool in late game situations, where he able to make clutch plays or scoring game-winning baskets.
A point guard in every sense of the term, he looks for his teammates first and creates opportunities for them - yet is still able to find his own shot when necessary, keeping defenses honest.
For a 19-year-old, he plays a very cerebral game. Taking care of the basketball, he averaged a miserly 1.7 turnovers, reads the floor very well and knows when to pass or make the play himself. Ennis doesn't shy away from the moment, and has a quick enough first step to get to the basket and possess a reliable jumper with good range. He is a legitimate triple threat with a competitive spirit. His strength and explosiveness are questionable, yet strength is always a concern for many collegians moving to the next level. He isn't the quickest point guard, but makes up for lack of speed in a number of different areas. Defensively, he will have to grow as he has had the luxury of sitting in Jim Boeheim's zone defense, picking passing lanes and not facing one-on-one match-ups, that he will see in the pros.
Ennis has slipped out of the lottery, yet is still the best point guard in the draft. He has the poise and skill set to step into a starting situation right now in the NBA and run an offense, not just getting by on his physical gifts. Ennis again is seemingly flying under the radar, with the entire attention on other one-and-done prospects, with good reason.
There is no doubt or wonder in what you will get, which is why he will make the jump to the next level. For Ennis, the belief in himself wouldn't let him do otherwise.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

Barnaby Bright.
Indie folk rock duo Barnaby Bright has garnered high accolades for their lyrically captivating and impeccably balanced songwriting and sound. The ying to each other's yang, Becky's angelic voice enchants audiences, while Nathan's brilliant mastery of multiple instruments and writing styles guides the songs down their path. Finalists in the prestigious New York Song Circle Contest for two years in a row, Barnaby Bright was awarded the Grand Prize, winners in November 2010 for their song, 'Don't Look Down'.
Between Nathan's bachelor degree in saxophone performance and jazz composition from Berklee College of Music as well as a Masters of Recording from The Conservatory of the Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe, Arizona and Becky's degree in vocal performance, it's no surprise this Kansas-based married duo wrote and self-produced their first album, 'Wake The Hero.' In the three years since releasing their album they have traveled all over the US, toured Euroe three times promoting 'Wake the Hero' and playing at some of the world's finest music festivals. Their music has been featured on ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation, and the catchy, melodic 'If I Came Back As a Song' placed third in 2007's International Song-Writing Competition, whose panel of judges including Tom Waits. Last year Amazon.com chose their follow up EP as one of the top 100 albums of 2011.
A positive, gracious attitude lures audiences from all over the world into a Barnaby Bright performance, captivated not only by the gorgeous melodies they produce but also by the simplistic spirit of two musicians who truly love their art as much as they love each other. Barnaby Bright creates a sacred, magical space for their audiences with unique instrumentation, powerful harmonies, intelligent lyrics, and genuine warmth on stage. Inspired by literature, life, human behavior, and a hint of fantasy, Barnaby Bright is a classic vision of timeless indie folk rock in all its glory. (Bio from official website)

Kitchen Cure Tip: Save Your Jars!
The Kitchen Cure Spring 2009
If you're following along with the Kitchen Spring Cure (there are nearly 500 of you now!) then you're working on this week's assignment: cleaning out old food in the fridge and cupboards.
This is one of the simplest parts of the Cure: look for old, expired, unused, unhealthy foods that you just aren't eating. If they are cluttering your cupboard or your fridge, get rid of them! If they aren't expired, donate them to a food bank. (Food bank contributions are down this year; they'll definitely appreciate it.)
Old food in the fridge and expired packaged foods should be thrown out or composted. But wait! Don't throw out that jar!
Spaghetti and pizza sauce jars, old applesauce jars, jam jars, little jars for capers, big jars for pickles, even tiny jars for spices or dried herbs — all of these can be saved, washed, and reused.
You can use these old jars for storing grains and spices, vegetables, fruit, or even tea and iced coffee. Just make sure you wash them well and let them dry thoroughly before reusing.
But what if you have too many jars already? Well, recycle them, then, and come around again next week to the Cure as we talk about decluttering and getting rid of extra stuff.
What's your favorite re-use for jars?

how do you get the glue from the label off?
I reuse jars for everything in my kitchen. I keep a china marker handy so that I can label the jar with the contents and the date. It's easy to wipe off too when the jar is empty again.
A hair dryer and nail polish remover work fairly well to get the label and glue off.
The National Association of Letters Carriers annual food drive is Saturday May 9. Place all those cans that you aren't going to eat in a bag on your mailbox. You post man will pick it up and drop it off at a food bank. More information at their website: http://www.helpstampouthunger.com/
How do you prevent odors from the jar lids leaching into what you put in the jars? I've had a few experiences with peanut butter scented jasmine rice, and tea that smelled suspiciously like jam. I have an olive jar that's the perfect size for cinnamon sticks, but I don't really want to find out what might happen.
I've never needed to use nail polish remover to get a label off! just soak it and peel/rub the glue off with the label.
We use jars for everything - grain, pasta, spices, legumes, sugar. I love that everything looks coordinated without having to be perfectly uniform.
We also use wide mouthed quart jars for storing leftovers in the fridge. There's no chance of the container getting flipped on its side and leaking everywhere, plus the fact that it's clear means we see leftovers and eat them before they can get yucky.
Tip - Container Store sells LabelOnce Labels that you can write on and then wipe off - I use them and they withstand everything from freezing to the dishwasher -- you just can't boil them (when canning) because they'll come off...they restick, but it's not as clean. I <3 them.
Squidlette - Try filling the jars with a mixture of baking soda and hot water, close the lid and let it soak overnight. I do this to clean/deodorize the jars.
I like using the jars for left over sauces. For example, left over gravy, curry sauce, the half can of coconut milk I didn't use.
Its also a great way to take snacks (mix nuts, pretzels) to work.
I like Goo Gone, which I've found at Bed Bath and Beyond and the hardware store for removing the sticky from labels.
I always intend to re-use jars this way, but by the time I remember to clean them out, they're too close to science experiments to trust with anything I plan to eat.
we reuse a lot of jars too. my favorites are from bonne maman preserves. they are wide mouthed and they have an attractive red gingham top. they hold spices or single servings of leftovers.
When I was growing up, my dad had a Bee's Spun Honey tub in the fridge filled with abalone guts to use as bait for fishing. Proper labeling is so important, people.
Luxeport- I have the same problem as Squidlette, and I've tried your solution to no avail. I've even dumped baking soda right on the stinky lid and let it sit for a week with little to no difference. :(
"Look for old, expired, unused, unhealthy foods...If they aren't expired, donate them to a food bank." I'm sure that wasn't necessarily your intention, but I couldn't let it go by without comment.
I just want to point out that food banks need more than the stuff you don't want or deem "unhealthy." Most are desperate for items like tuna and peanut butter. If you find yourself giving a lot of "interesting" items like pickled beats and cranberry sauce, maybe make a special trip to the store and supplement your donation with some more needed items.
vegetable oil works really well at getting glue from the labels off :)
My mother has always been a jar hoarder and their uses are unending...my favourite however is to use it as an excuse to make jams and chutneys. Such a pleasure to do, lovely to see on your shelves and brilliant presents if you're staying with someone. This book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jams-Pickles-Chutneys-Secrets-Institute/dp/0743221133 is quite simply the best. I've made gallons of mango chutney(using bargain ripe mangoes from the market rather than green ones) which people seem to ooh and ahh over!
If you want to remove labels perfectly 'Sticky Stuff'
http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/keyword/sticky stuff/product/8976 is fantastic.
I've started collecting different sized jars and using them to hold flowers, it makes a semi-coordinated display which I like (especially if you put in on a tray). I think that I read about it somewhere here or on Martha Stewart...
Squirrely, thanks for the comment about foodbanks- it made me search out more information about how foodbanks operate. I've definitely made too many "interesting" donations over the years.
I salvaged four good sized jars out of my fridge last night (except the bad salsa jar. I didn't even open that one.). I've always hated throwing away/recycling big glass jars but for some reason never quite made the connection to re-use. Duh!
Apart from my collection of jelly and other small jars, I find the use spaghetti sauce jars the most. One brand uses a Mason/Atlas type jar. Since, like others I frequently can't get the odors out of the lids, I buy the two-part Ball canning lids. I store all my dry goods this way.
Apparently they also sell plastic lids that provide a better seal.
We actually use those plastic lids. Not only do they provide a tight seal, but since they're non-reactive, they work well for acidic foods.
putting some newspaper in the jar will usually get rid of any smells.
I use olive oil to remove the adhesive from the jars. Adhesive removers can be purchased also. As far as odour, I haven't had a problem -- I wash out the jars then fill them again with hot soapy water, then rinse them out a few days later.
I re-use my Hellmann's mayonnaise jars for baking ingredients, rices, snacks and bread crumbs. The mouth of the bottles is large enough to get a measure cup or large spoon inside. Plus, the identical jars and lids make the pantry look extra organized. I print clear labels on my computer to identify the contents.
I do keep a few small jars to use for homemade jam and chutney, but I don't have space to store lots of empty glass jars while waiting for the next round of jam-making. I recycle the rest.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - It doesn't seem to matter how well Oklahoma fares in its annual Red River Rivalry with Texas. Whoever is next on the schedule had better watch out.
For some reason, that often ends up being Kansas.
The No. 18 Sooners have won 14 straight games played the week after tussling with the Longhorns, and that includes a 6-0 mark against the Jayhawks. Only five of those games came on the heels of a loss, as will be the case when Oklahoma plays Kansas on Saturday.
Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1) still believes it has a chance to win the Big 12 title, while the Jayhawks (2-3, 0-2) hope they can spring an upset to end a 23-game conference losing streak.

First timer at a B&B. The room we had was very clean and tidy. It had two queen beds and a full size sofa. Our bathroom was private, but it was across the hallway. The common areas on the first floor were very warm and welcoming to linger. Breakfast was basic but included a variety of items. There was a large back porch with gazebo. Plenty of room to roam. Owners were very friendly and welcoming.

There are no hotels in Parsons, WV, so the B & B was a perfect place to stay while visiting family members. We enjoyed the light breakfasts provided by the host and conversations with other guests.

The Willows was a really lovely place! The owners are so nice and friendly. The rooms are really clean and well maintained. Bathroom was really clean and shampoo, bath gel, and conditioner were provided. Great views of the mountains. Nice breakfast. I only was there briefly for business but the town is so lovely with lots of outdoor activities like hiking, white water rafting, skiing, close by. I'll likely be back for a vacation trip next time. One important detail: right now, GPS may not lead you to the correct place. Good to have directions from the owner ahead of time- just in case (it's easy to find if you are not led astray by your GPS!)

I have work in Tucker County, and there is no comparison to the value of this B&B. Linda is so accommodating. The house is charming and right in Parsons. Great proximity to slopes and to Davis and Thomas for dining and entertainment. Highly recommended!

Really nice B&B; wonderful host and hostess, really made us feel at home; very accommodating. Highly recommend staying here when you are going skiing. B&B is clean and charming.

The hostess shared enough of the local history and community information along with wonderful views of the mountains to help make the trip enjoyable. Great place to get away from it all. The B&B had much nicer rooms than many of the hotels in the ski area and more affordable. Will visit again.

This is a lovely home in a small town, surrounded by mountains. Comfortable rooms, nice common area which we used to play card games at night. Breakfast was a little disappointing and the same each of the 2 days - cold cereal, instant oatmeal, toast, sweet rolls, limited fruit and juice, yogurt, etc. Host and hostess are very nice and helpful. It would have been nice to have our bathroom adjoining the room, not across the hall.

Guys...what is the best sex position for you when you are with a girl? What do you enjoy about it and why?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
You mean girl on top? What do you like about that?
I like watching her undulate, her boobies wiggle and jiggle, her straight hair flop around, the sweat bead up on her chest and drip off her t*ts and seeing her get off on top of me.
What Guys Said 6
I am pretty much up for anything as long as she is having a good time. But if I had to pick one it would probably be doggystyle. There is just something about making a girl scream your name in pleasure till you both can't stand it anymore.
It's a toss-up between her legs over my shoulders and the doggie style. Both have good penetration. The doggie style allows her to reach under and stimulate herself.
I like to change it up alot, but I like the missionary position the best. That way, I'm in total control...I can look into her eyes...kiss her face...whisper into her ear. I love to be looking into her eyes as she orgasms.
My favorite is women on her back me on top with her legs over my shoulders, I can see her face and her p**** and its good for deep penetration, what is your favorite position and why?
cowgirl or reverse cowgirl...lets the girl go as wild as she wants to get as much pleasure as she can. watching that alone is pleasurable haha
Her face down lying flat on the bed and I lay on top and penetrate her from behind. I like bouncing off her ass when I'm slamming her into the bed.

WABASSO -- An annual contest to encourage students to engage in and take ownership of their environment is underway.
The Environmental Learning Center in Wabasso is accepting entries in the 18th annual "Making a Difference in My World" contest, open for students from kindergarten through the fifth grade.
Once again, the contest theme correlates with the learning center's spring EcoFest theme, "Go Native!" said Holly Dill, executive director of the Environmental Learning Center.
Go Native! emphasizes the area's flora and fauna and each grade level has its own specific project types and subjects to focus on, she said.
Projects include habitat dioramas, designing postcards, license plates or T-shirts featuring a native plant or animal, drawing pictures, using recycled materials and even writing stories.
The contest is open to any kindergarten to fifth grade student, whether public, private, independent or homeschooled, Ms. Dill said.
There is no charge to enter the contest and teachers and parents should read the entry rules carefully to avoid disqualification, a press release said.
"We typically have between 1,000 and 1,500 entries for this contest. Our largest classroom is filled with entries, they are everywhere," Ms. Dill said with a chuckle.
Volunteer judges will help narrow the field of competitors down to the winners.
The first, second and third place winners in each category for each grade will be on special display during EcoFest on March 2 and will win a gift certificate to the learning center's gift shop, "The Nature Nook," as will the teacher of the winning students, Ms. Dill said.
"All of the participants will be on display during EcoFest and some of them will blow your mind," she said.
The things children learn and absorb about the natural resources, and the way they creatively and originally present them are wonderful to see, Ms. Dill said.
Plans for EcoFest are going well and with a lot of the emphasis being placed on lagoon health, the Environmental Learning Center is hopeful that people will take more notice of the ecological ramifications of their decisions and make ones that positively affect the environment, Ms. Dill said.
"This is a very timely theme," she said.
For more information about the Environmental Learning Center or upcoming activities, call (772) 589-5050 or visit www.discoverelc.org.

What is the estimated delivery time?
Sellers generally procure and ship the items within the time specified on the product page. Business days exclude public holidays and Sundays.

Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
It is possible that the Seller or our courier partners observe a holiday between the day you placed your order and the date of delivery, which is based on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored in to the delivery dates.
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
'In Stock'
For items listed as "In Stock", Sellers will mention the delivery time based on your location pincode (usually 2-3 business days, 4-5 business days or 4-6 business days in areas where standard courier service is available). For other areas, orders will be sent by Registered Post through the Indian Postal Service which may take 1-2 weeks depending on the location.
The Seller might not have the item in stock but can procure it when an order is placed. The delivery time will depend on the estimated procurement time and the estimated shipping time to your location.

'Out of Stock'
Currently, the item is not available for sale. Use the 'Notify Me' feature to know once it is available for purchase.
Sometimes, items have to be sourced by Sellers from outside India. These items are mentioned as 'Imported' on the product page and can take at least 10 days or more to be delivered to you.

The item is popular and is sold out. You can however 'book' an order for the product and it will be shipped according to the timelines mentioned by the Seller.

Gives deep knowledge in clear and simple language. Book has drawings with notations with great details.
The reason for not giving 5 star is : in some cases you will see steps of construction and drawing at different pages, which is a little irritating and publisher can easily improve it.
Those who want to be a mechanical design engineer, should go for it atleast once.
I use it as my hand book for work.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have been impressed with how LPS has served the student's needs. The staff at most Lincoln Public Schools are not so welcoming of substitute teachers if they are not "seasoned" substitutes. I do not find the environment to be very warm or welcoming at this school.
We moved into this neighborhood b/c of the great reputation of Pyrtle. One month into the school year, it is exceeding our expectations. The teachers are wonderful and our daughter comes home happy to talk about her day. We had a wedding to attend out of state, so our daughter had to miss the first few days of school. When she came back, she was a little timid. But it only lasted seconds b/c the teacher was so welcoming! Asking her about our trip, and requesting that she bring pictures and her seashells so they could do 'research.' She was also made 'captain' for the day, which made her feel like she didn't miss anything. We are pleased, to say the least!
Pyrtle elemantary was the best place possible that i could send my child. The teachers are friendly and very caring of the students they teach. After school activities are creative and fun; field trips are educational as well exciting. Pyrtle is one of the best place to send a child who is creative, likes to have fun and has a desire to learn in a caring, friendly, loving atmosphere.
My daughter came here about 2 months into 1st grade. We had moved from Kansas and she had been struggling. I was pretty worried on how she would adjust. After being there only 2 weeks it was like I had a different kid coming home from school! She was excelling more than I had ever imagined. Everyone at the school was great and I couldn't have asked for anything better!! signed~ Completly Grateful!

Flags of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
On this page:
The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary was formed in 1939 to provide a civilian reserve to support the Coast Guard's ability to cope with the boom in recreational boating in the United States. It is an unpaid, voluntary organization of boaters, aircraft owners, and others who make their equipment available to support any of the Coast Guard's statutory missions, focusing particularly on boating safety education and inspections. The basic unit of the auxiliary is the local flotilla, composed of at least 10 vessels. Flotillas are grouped into divisions, which are in turn grouped into districts corresponding to the district structure of the regular Coast Guard.
Boats, aircraft, and radio stations belonging to members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and meeting standards of equipment and training set forth by the Commandant of the Coast Guard are designated "operational facilities" and authorized to display the Coast Guard Auxiliary ensign. This flag is medium blue with a broad white diagonal band and the Auxiliary emblem in blue and white on the center (33 CFR 5.47). It is known among members as the "blue ensign." It is flown both day and night when the Auxiliarist is aboard, at the main truck if the vessel has a mast or at the bow staff if it does not. Boats equipped with a radio antenna but no mast may fly the Auxiliary ensign on it, about two-thirds of the way up.
Return to top of page
When the Coast Guard takes an Auxiliary member's boat into service for a mission under Coast Guard orders, the "operational facility" displays the Coast Guard Auxiliary Patrol Boat ensign, authorized and described by 33 CFR 5.48, in place of the normal Auxiliary blue ensign. The patrol boat ensign is based on the so-called "racing stripes" painted as an identifying insignia on the hulls and fuselages of Coast Guard cutters and aircraft. If a Coast Guard officer or petty officer is aboard, however, this flag is replaced by the normal Coast Guard ensign.
Return to top
Coast Guard Auxiliary officers, who are elected by members to one-year terms of office, fly the pennant of their position day and night when they are on board. Former officers are entitled to fly burgees of the same design, but with parallel upper and lower edges and a swallowtailed fly. If an incumbent officer and a past officer are aboard the same vesel at the same time, the incumbent's pennant takes precedence. Otherwise, if two officers or former officers are aboard at the same time, only the senior's pennant or burgee is flown. The pennant or burgee is normally flown at the starboard yardarm or spreader, if there is one, and otherwise at the bow staff displacing the Auxiliary ensign.

Drupalcon support emails

And showing this support e-mail in keynote unintentionally gave the Drupal community a chance to show we're sensitive to lots of insensitivities, which really is a good thing.
For the record, I, personally, didn't go to this Con because i am offended by the metric system, and the airlines wouldn't let me leave the plane on entering European space so that i could avoid flying in kilometers. Thank goodness England is safe.
