Often when implementing customised ModSecurity solutions we need to extend the built-in functionality via Lua scripting. One of the disadvantages to this approach is the added latency penalty paid for not using the native rules language. When web site performance is critical for business continuity, every additional millesecond counts. The current trunk code fixes a long-standing limitation where ModSecurity needed to create a new VM for each request, which added latency every time a Lua script was executed.
Richard Brown, Pure Hacking dedicated security consultant and all round security fanatic impressed the conference organisers and participants at this year's DefCon with his innovative DefCon badge hack.
Pure Hacking's CTO, Ty Miller was invited to present at Black Hat 2012 for his third appearance as an official trainer at the world's most high profile security event. Ty originally presented his development of "Reverse DNS Tunneling Shellcode" at Black Hat 2008 and has been an official part of the program with "The Shellcode Lab" since 2011.
Ty Miller, CTO of Pure Hacking, Australia's leading specialist information security consultancy has been confirmed as an international speaker at the upcoming Hack in the Box security conference, 8 - 11 October, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Miller will be running his internationally renowned "The Shellcode Lab" training course for penetration testers, security officers and auditors, system administrators and managers wanting to improve their shellcoding security skills. This is the first time that "The Shellcode Lab" will be available to Hack in the Box participants.
Australian business management teams have a healthy understanding and appreciation of business risk. They are aware of policy risk from a violation and implication perspective and the lending issues of capital risk. Australian IT management teams are correspondingly across the ins and outs of technical risk. However, business management and IT management teams could almost be speaking two different languages when it comes to communicating risk to each other.
Yesterday, I shared my thoughts on the steps that I believe CIOs should consider when planning for security processes and technology standards.
Today, I wanted to outline some further thoughts that Pure Hacking has had to raise the security benchmark for Australian organisations. These ideas relate to software and ensuring that CIOs know what is being developed, implemented and tested. To put it more bluntly, you need a better understanding of what you aren't paying for in many cases.

Soda versus pop on Twitter
Edwin Chen, a data scientist at Twitter, explored the geographic differences in language usage of soda, pop, and coke. We've seen this before, so it shouldn't be surprising to see that in the United States soda is dominant on the coasts, pop in the midwest, and coke in the southeast. The global view is new, with coke basically penetrating almost all of Europe.
What I think is most interesting though is the idea of tweets and status updates as data that represents cultures. There are applications that keep track of tweet volume, number of replies, and when the best time to share a link is, but in ten years none of that will matter. These miniature data time capsules on the other hand will be worth another look.

Maybe because only Americans call it "soda" or "pop", everywhere else calls it "soft drink".
The global view is not a valid test surely…
Its an English language test being applies to non-English speaking areas…
Coke is a brand-name, so is the same in every country. Pop and Soda don't necessary translate to drinks. So the brand name in country X will beat out a word with no meaning in country X.
This is of course assuming that it was possible to determine that all the tweets were to do with drinks.
What do the words "pop" and "soda" mean in Spanish (Spain and the Americas), Portuguese (both versions), Swahili or Urdu?
Pop means nothing in Spanish, soda means the same as it does in English. http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=soda
Where I come from Coke means Coca Cola (though if you ask for it in a bar and they only do Pepsi they'll usually give you that without asking for clarification). People sometimes use pop for carbonated beverages. But other alternatives exist: "fizzy pop", "fizz", "fizzy" etc. As stated above, these things are often referred to under the banner "soft drink", although this usually includes non-carbonated alternatives such as orange juice.
Mr. Chen obviously needs to get out more. I have many times heard (in the South, of course, where Chen's research shows all that blue for "soda"):
"Do you want a Co Cola?"
"Yes, please, ma'am"
"What flavor?"
"Mountain Dew"
I'm curious how much plotting order might affect this, how much blue does the green blob in the Midwest hide? Maybe using some transparency would make it a bit messier though.
As others have said, it's stymied by the pre-selected list of options. In Australia the generic term is usually soft drink, yet the map indicates we call it coke purely because it's one of the only things they look for.
A great idea, but this specific example could use some touching up.
On the other hand, it shows nicely that the major centres of population in Australia are on the east and south coasts plus Perth on the west coast.
+1 @will and @stove
i'm from london and when i say coke, i get a cola cola. if i say soda, i get a glass of soda water. If i want any other soft drink i will name it by name – sprite, dr pepper whatever. If i say pop, well that usually means my dad drunk and i can't find him.
I'm from India and since we follow British English, thats the way it goes here as well. :)
Most people in Europe order a Coke by asking for a "cola". That might result in the waiter bringing you a Pepsi, but then again most people just really don't care. Nobody orders a "coke", since it refers to a drug.
Probably this chart shows tweets from Americans abroad who just tweeted that they found this out themselves ;-)
I posted a link to the map on Facebook and one of my friends expressed his frustration because color blind people cannot understand it. I asked the creator of it, who responded that he used default colors. How much should we worry about making our publication-graphics viewable for people who are color blind?

You've Gotta Spend Money to Save Money
Membership has its privileges.
Recession Mama: Sometimes you have to spend to save. I know that sounds
counterintuitive, but I've found that combining a couple of key
memberships -- Costco or Sam's Club and AAA -- with buying an
Entertainment Book are worth way more than I pay.
For Costco, I cook a lot, and most of their prices are terrific. Also, I could eat that $5 rotisserie chicken every day. And a $14 sheet cake? It's a party every day over here ... Putting aside the food, Costco has fantastic deals on books, tickets, and clothes.
AAA, besides bringing me peace of mind while I'm on the road, has literally saved me thousands of dollars on hotel rooms, museum admissions, and special discounts for retail and dining establishments. Go to your local branch, pick up some free maps and travel guides, get a free plastic key cut (it fits in a credit card slot in your wallet, and will let you into your car in case you lock the keys in it), and peruse their monthly newsletter, Member Saver. Then check their fabulous deals online.
As for the Entertainment Book, I buy one every year. I usually look for a deal online and buy through a rebate site that will discount the book up to $10. For about $15, I get a year or more of local buy-one-get-one-free dining coupons, discounted movie tickets, and theme park and sports admissions. I keep mine in my car and flip through it frequently. The books are huge -- buy one with a friend and split up the coupons.
Think of these pay-to-play options like an ante in poker -- you're putting in just a little with the potential to get a lot more back ...

Babbo wine list is too overwhelming...
- thunderbug84 Jul 19, 2007 08:20 AM
I'm a very new wine drinker and I'm slightly, okay VERY intimidated by the extensive wine list at Babbo. I know that they have wonderful Sommeliers, but I would like to come in somewhat prepared. To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, we are planning to spend about $200 on 2 bottles (either 2 reds, or 1 red and 1 white). I had a red wine at Esca a few weeks ago that I loved. It was the Nieddera Contini, but I can't remember the year (2002, I think?). I can't find it on Babbo's wine list, but I would love something similar. I don't even know how to describe it (as I said, I'm very green), but I'd love to become more knowledgeable about wine. Please help!
re: harrison
The one time my wife and I dined there, we opted for wine pairings and upgraded to the 'reserve' pairings to go with the pasta tasting menu (and then some) dinner we chose. We were not disappointed at all. We drank some really good stuff.
Telling the sommelier what you've had and enjoyed is the best approach.
Nieddera's also known as bovale. If you like that, you'd probably like monica and refosco. More generally, you might want to try reds from Sardinia, Sicily, Val d'Aosta, or Alto Adige, which tend to be softer and more delicate than the Tuscan and Piemontese wines that dominate Babbo's list.
re: Robert Lauriston
Contini also makes a fine nieddra rosato, too. Thee are a number of Italian reds that
fit that general style description--a Frappato from Sicily (try Valle d'Acate); a Ciro from Calabria, from Librandi; from Piedmont, a Ruche, Bonarda, or, a little more exotically, a Grignolino. There's nothing wrong with a recent vintage Bardolino from the Veneto, either. Or a mixed-varietal Gutturnio or Terre di Franciacorta form Lombardia. Enjoy.
re: obob96
Excellent recommendations, except Cirò is sometimes hard and tarry.
re: Robert Lauriston
On Ciro: the standard bottlings are lighter, fresher, with more fruit and cleaner than ever. The riservas, like Librandi's Duca San Felice, can be hard and tarry.
re: obob96
Just got that at a restaurant where I work...wow.
There are some people that like that sort of thing, but not for me.
re: obob96
Thank you both for your wonderful recommendations! Soft and delicate seems to describe what I like perfectly. My father is an avid wine drinker (he was actually chair of the NABCA, so I have a lot to live up to!) but he tends to prefer dry merlots which never suited my taste. I definitely lean towards wines that are slightly fruity, or at least lighter.
re: obob96
The OP was going to spend $100 per bottle on wine. I just bought a Ciro and a Bonarda recommended to me at the Wine Expo in Santa Monica for $15 each. How much does Babbo mark up their wine?
re: BN1
I don't thik anyone is suggesting that the Bonarda or the Ciro will cost $100. I think the comments came from suggesting that there are wines that will be more to the OP's tastes than the wines that are on Babbo's list. And remember, there is a big difference between the cheaper standard bottlings and the more expensive reservas. It is like saying that I just bought an Antinori for $15 when you are talking about the Santa Cristina and everyone else is thinking the Tignanello. (not that there is an expensive Ciro or Bonarda) Babbo's mark up is fairly high, though not for NYC and the list is excellent.
The main thing that the OP needs to remember is to tell the sommelier what they have enjoyed in the past, what kinds of wines they are looking for and what they are ordering to eat, and how much they want to pay.
You definitely don't need to spend $200 on two bottles -- if you do, you're going to end up with wines that might be way beyond what you can appreciate at this stage. Aim for a $50-$60 wine, and ask for some recommendations AFTER you pick out what you're going to eat. Honestly, you should never, ever, feel compelled to spend that much on wine, unless there's a very special wine that you want to try.
I would definitely recommend finding a wine bar and/or try some wine tasting classes. Once you have some wines that you like, find a wine merchant who can work with you.
re: brendastarlet
True that. I'd even suggest "baring your soul" to the sommelier and letting him/her know that while you appreciate food, you're asea when it comes to wine. Just surrender and tell yourself you're going to enjoy whatever they come up with... maybe it's three bottles averaging $40 or maybe it's five $15 glasses during the meail.
One thing I would caution the OP on as a "new" wine drinker - don't spend more than $30 on ANY white wine until you have a better idea what you like - as suggested earlier go to a tasting or two with a good wine merchant and have your tastes mapped. You can go higher on reds.- sometimes it takes $50-$60 to get a bottle that fits perfectly with dinner.
re: Panini Guy
I can't think of a dish where I'd have to spend more than $20 to get a wine that would pair well. There are wines I like that cost more, but I buy them for their own sake.
The Babbo winelist is very intimidating, especially for someone like me who's not as familiar with Italians as I'd like to be, but the Babbo sommeliers are sure surely not. I had my first dinner there earlier this summer, and the sommelier, whose name I should have remembered, was extremely friendly, helpful, and made our meals much better.
While it would be better to go in somewhat prepared, that's by no means a necessity. I would simply provide him/her with as much information as you can: price range, taste preferences, what you've liked and disliked in the past, your appetizer and entree selections, etc. With a list that large, she will be able to find a host of wines to suit you and your meal.
If you are comfortable spending $100/bottle, that's great and they should be able to accomodate you very easily. On the other hand, don't feel intimidated to spend that much if you're not comfortable. One of the good things about having such a big winelist is that the restaurant should be able to offer many options to someone within his price range. And if you are in the exploratory mood, Babbo has quite a few selections (changes daily/weekly, I think) as quartinos, or quarter-liters, 1/3 bottles. This is about 2 full glasses and is a very good option if you are dining with one other and want to wine pairings with each of your courses. FWIW, my dinner companion and I were able to get a quartino of very good Barbaresco for $25 with our main dishes after having a bottle of white for the appetizers we shared.
The prime job of a good sommelier is to create a wine list that suits the patrons and pairs well with the chef's visions. Next, it is to suggest perfect pairings from that list. Tell the one serving you, what you like, and what you wish to spend. Share your dinner choices, and turn them loose. That is what they thrive on, and are paid for.
Many lists are intimidating - take a look at Bern's Steakhouse, Tampa, FL (the hardbound edition) for a feel of overload.
Let the sommelier(s) earn their keep. Trust them, but furnish them with all of the appropriate info. If they do, what they should do, you will be amazed.
re: Bill Hunt
Exactly right!
How can you know what you want to drink until you know what you're eating? Or are you planning to choose your meal to be compatible with the wines?
I'm a big fan of Babbo's wine service; their former sommelier (now their general manager) also happens to be an excellent wine writer with a passion for Italian vino (with an eye toward lesser-known regions and varietals). Babbo, in my experience, is one of those class joints where they sincerely try to steer you towards the best value and the best food pairing on their vast list. If you're dead set on blowing a wad of cash during your dinner, I'd say settle on a prestigious style with the sommelier's help (e.g. Amarone, Barolo, "Super Tuscan"), then ask him/her sommelier to help you determine the greatest bang for your buck.
re: Yaqo Homo
Amarone, Barolo, and super Tuscans are pretty much the opposite of the type of wine the original poster apparently has in mind.
re: Robert Lauriston
Yes, you are quite right; I should have read the OP's "lighter," "soft," "fruity" preferences more carefully and was instead focusing on the most memorable wine one could extract from a $200 wine budget. Although Lynch's cellar has deep selections of prestigious reds, the list (see link below) has lovely (and obscure) light-bodied options as well:
I doubt the OP could spend $200 on the types of wines specified even if he/she wanted to! I would instead use the money to spring for the tasting menu with intelligently selected pairings (I think they offer two tiers of paired selections--regular and "reserve" options). That way you could taste a variety of styles and regions.
re: Yaqo Homo
You are right! I was not able to spend the $200 wine budget! Also, I'd like to answer the questioning of some of the posters as to why I was spending so much on wine as a new wine drinker... I was actually the winner of the Ultimate Day of Dining competition so I had $500 to spend. At Babbo, we realized, that $500 will go a long way! I did follow your suggestion and told the sommelier what my likes and dislikes were. He was wonderful! He not only chose wonderful wines, but he described his visits to the specific vineyards in great detail. He was also kind enough to write down the wines that we had that night which were (I'm deciphering his handwriting as best as possible... if I've misspelled anything, please let me know!):
Wine #1: Trinchevo Baobera d'Asti "Vigna del Noce" 2000 (Piemonte)
Wine #2: Montecalvi "Montecalvi Rosso" 2001 (Toscana)
My friend also ordered a glass of Schiavenza Barolo 2000 (Piemonte)
The second wine we had was amazing. He described it as "the white wine drinkers red wine" which was a perfect description. It also worked out extremely well that our cheese plate came out as we were finishing our last glasses of wine. I definitly have a new appreciation for red wines and I'm really excited to go back home (I grew up near Walla Walla, WA) and do some tastings!! Thank you again for all of your wonderful advice.
Also, I will ask my friend to post her descriptions/opinions of the wines.
re: thunderbug84
I also feel I have a limited knowledge of wine, although I have taken some clases and done some tastings in Napa. My memory of the first wine we had, the Trinchevo Baobera d'Asti is a bit hazy...the dinner was very long (and enjoyable). I do remember that I liked it and felt it went well with the slightly spicy spaghettini with lobster. The second wine, the Montecalvi Rosso, was excellent. It had a good amount of acidity with hints of cherry and finished with a slightly peppery taste. It was great with the cheese as the cheese rounded out the wine making it very smooth on the pallet.
Sorry I can't offer more on the wine but thanks for all of your suggestions. I must say that it was quite exciting working with a sommelier and the one at Babbo was exceptional in my opinion.
re: thunderbug84
I like Babbo and they do have a great Italian list and in general the sommeliers there are very knowledgable. Im glad you were happy with the sommelier's choices.
I do feel that the sommelier's description of the 2nd wine as, "the white wine drinkers red wine" as a little weird. That might be a true statement in his (her) view, probably meaning that its a soft wine, not tannic... but actually, I have no real idea of what he means by that. Does he mean that it tastes more like a white? Better to actually describe the wine itself and not make a general statement like that... so you can put it in perspective and have a basis for the future.
The new general manager and sommelier team at Babbo is EXCELLENT. They will help you negotiate the wine list. It's what they love to do. i know exactly what he meant by a white wine drinkers red. It seems explanatory enough to assume that he meant that if you usually drink white wine you would like the red wine he recommended. Without getting to fancy or technical, he was probably trying to make the guest feel more comfortable obviously noticing their inexperience with wine terms and knowledge, and in a more pedestrian way( or secular way if your a wine geek like myself), help them to understand.If the person had asked what he meant he would have probably replied because it has a similar flavor profile and describe the wine in more detail. Modesty often wins the day. I'd rather hear that than fancy statements like "long periods on the skins", "malo blocked", "neutral oak", and such. Throw in a couple fancy words but dont send them running for the hills...
re: sharonm
I've already agreed that the team there is excellent... and I agree with not intimidating the customer... and agree it wouldn't be constructive to start getting technical here... all Im suggesting is that saying, "this is a white wine drinker's red" is just as constructive as saying, "here's a wine I think you'll like".
I'd rather the sommelier say, he's a wine I think you'll like... try it and let me know what you think. I still don't know what the sommelier means by "a white wine drinker's red". One has nothing to do with the other. Just strikes me as bizarre, that's all.
re: WineTravel
"this is a white wine drinker's red"

Heung Yee Kuk leader backs idea of country park flats
Lau Wong-fat urges review of protected areas, saying homes could be built on less ecologically sensitive land to ease city's housing shortage
Most Popular
Rural strongman Lau Wong-fat has suggested flats could be built in certain areas of country parks to ease the housing shortage.
He called for a review of the size of the parks, but rejected a suggestion that land allocated to indigenous villagers be rezoned to boost the supply of homes.
Lau, chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk, said a review would help the government strike a balance between protecting the countryside and addressing the soaring demand for flats. He also said private land inside parks should be released to build more flats.
"There's no universal standard for setting the size of country parks. It would depend on the local context to decide its proportion," Lau said yesterday.
His comments came two days after Secretary for Development Paul Chan Mo-po floated the controversial idea of building flats in country parks, which was seen as a radical departure from the chief executive's pledge during his election campaign to protect parks from development.
Lau echoed Chan's view that flats could be considered in ecologically less sensitive areas of the parks. "For land [in parks] that is worth protecting, the government should specify them and compensate the owners if they are privately owned."
But he rejected outright the idea of allowing the rezoning of village land reserved for indigenous villagers to build homes. He said: "The government has plenty of land. How come it is eyeing privately owned land?"
And he expressed disappointment at the administration's failure to meet demand for homes from indigenous villagers, comparing it to the scramble to find land for urban dwellers.
Henderson Land chairman Lee Shau-kee agreed that country parks could be downsized. He said reducing the parks by one per cent could provide land to house more than 100,000 people.
But such ideas were criticised by ex-officials, including former planning director Peter Pun Kwok-shing and former Observatory director Lam Chiu-ying.
"The way we decided a country park's boundary is not science or derived from calculations," Pun said. "But I won't say it's arbitrary. We consulted the Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department and other experts."
Factors taken into account included the need to protect water catchments, trees and animals, and preservation of the topography. "We need a study to justify why we need to redraw the boundaries," he said.
Lam, who helped Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying formulate the environmental policies in his election manifesto, likened the idea of building flats in country parks to a cancer cell. "If you give away 100 square feet now, later you will ask for 100 square feet more. Ultimately, it will destroy the original aim of having country parks, which is to enable the public to enjoy nature."
Green areas, including woodland, wetland, barren land and country parks, make up 70 per cent of the city's land. Country parks alone make up 40 per cent.
The new administration has relaxed its planning rules to allow flats encroaching upon green belts and open space.

He is a segregationist who wants to create the rich who are long disconnected decedents of indigenous people and everyone else.
Reminiscent of apartheid that occurred Africa and USA 70 years ago. We should rid Hong Kong of these segmentation based on birth polices (truly is born with golden spoon rules that steal fromt he people of Hong Kong)
More like ethnic cleansing.
But by the British government who let a flood of mainlanders in (and those are now 'Hong Kongers) so there were no jobs for the locals.
Have you ever asked why they are "long disconected decedents [sic]" left. Its because they were pushed out because of this "mainlanders" flood. And then the government stole their land by paying a pittance for land resumption and not letting them build outside their village zones. If we owned much of central London, we would be fabously wealthy - as it is only some (not all indigenous villagers) who have land within the village zones are money, and ever fewer wealthy because of it.
Maybe it should not be based on birth policy. We should've allowed all who own the land to do what they want. The villagers would've then built on the land themselves or sold it at fair market value to these immigrants. But the government did not allow this as they wanted the money for themselves. HK is one of the few places in the world where you pay so much tax to build.
Please try to understand the others perspective/history before you use words like apartheid. But again you are another "Hong Konger" who cries unfair at everything.
If there really were old empty factory buildings to you not expect their owners will be out in full force pushing for changes in policy?
No, the factory building owners are staying very quiet as they are already aware factory buildings were secretly converted over the last 10 years into office buildings. You will find occupancy of factory buildings is close to 95% as they are cheaper than other locations.
There should be a vigorous debate as SCMP today's editorial has suggested. I will say get rid the sandbox and get some mature understanding with intellect to rule again the fate of our country parks.

How To Purge Toys Without Mutiny
There is something about the size and shape of a lego on the floor in the dark that makes every parent tremble at the thought.
Our house is no exception. We live in a 1904, boxy little cottage – or so it seems with three kids. … Read the rest
Living a Non-Mainstream Life While Balancing A Job, Kids + The House
"Stay-at-home moms can do all of that natural, hippy, traditional, 'green' stuff like home-cooked meals and line-drying their clothes. I have a full-time job, and I just don't have time for it all."
Ever heard that before? Ever thought it?
There I was, baking bread, hanging laundry on a clothes line, tending a garden (veggies and flowers both), wearing a cute sundress with my baby in a sling on my hip, all while a pie was baking in the oven and the children played with their homemade toys in our sprawling yard with just a few chickens.… Read the rest

Great Prototyping for Designer for Mobile and Web App
I have a great Prototyping for designer who is looking for a useful tool to create a mockup template for mobile and app. Let take a look at Keynotopia information below and you will see what Keynote can helps you.
Keynotopia Launches Keynotopia Mockups Bundle– The Largest Collection of Keynote Mockup Templates for Mobile and Web App Prototyping
Keynotopia has launched Keynotopia Mockups Bundle, a collection of royalty-free Keynote mockup templates for prototyping mobile, web, and desktop apps. Keynotopia Mockups Bundle allows designers, developers, program managers, and entrepreneurs the ability to quickly iterate and perfect their app ideas prior to development.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 25, 2012: Today, Keynotopia launched the Keynotopia Mockups Bundle, a collection of Keynote mockup templates for iPad, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Web, Facebook, OS X, and Windows 7 platforms.
The templates included in Keynotopia Mockups Bundle were designed to be the largest collection of mockup templates with a new time-saving feature: all template UI components can be converted from their original sketch-like appearance to clean wireframes or high-fidelity components in just a few clicks when used in conjunction with Keynotopia's Keynote templates.
Amir Khella, a UX designer and entrepreneur, recognized the need to give designers the option to choose between the 3 levels of fidelity (mockup, wireframe, and high-fidelity) to suit their design needs.
"In the first phase of app design, a hand-sketched interactive mockup does not confuse users, who can see the app is unfinished as an invitation to give feedback. They don't get distracted by the details of design and instead focus on the app's user experience. When the users' feedback has been integrated, a high-fidelity prototype looks polished and serves to impress clients, management, and investors."
Keynotopia Mockup templates are used with Apple Keynote, Khella's tool of choice for designing prototypes for 12 startups (4 of which were acquired) as a UX designer. At a price of $19.99, Apple Keynote is easy-to-use and efficient for creating both mockups and pixel-perfect prototypes. In combination with the Keynotopia Mockup Bundle templates, Keynote allows both designers and users with limited design experience (including entrepreneurs, program managers, and developers) the ability to mockup their ideas quickly and within budget.
For more information about the Keynotopia Mockups templates, visit Keynotopia Mockups Bundle page.

Grill lovers are always for charcoal grill to heat up. Sometime it's annoying. A portable grill like Cuisinart can be used for cooking instead of charcoal. The quality f Cuisinart portable gas grill is amazing. It can heat up very quickly from normal temperature to expected temperature. The grill is very easy to clean up. Because of portability and its size, the Cuisinart is easy to carry and suitable for small family to have BBQ picnic. I decide to change our grill from charcoal to this Cuisinart grill. I love the concept of portability. You can take it everywhere.
Cuisinart grill price is inexpensive compared to price of luxury grill, and it contains all quality you need. The grill grate is durable and strong. The temperature adjustment system is well built. The position of gas tank is well designed. You don't have to worry the gas is going to fall off and explore. To cleanup, you can wipe down of the grate. Then, wait until it cool, fold it up and tuck it into the grill corner.
This the portable grill from Cuisinart I really like. If you already had charcoal grill and you are a big fan of grill. This is the product that you are going to love it because the foods taste like one cooked in charcoal grill

Diet Soda Danger! How to Keep the Pop in Your Portfolio
Adem is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The drumbeat of controversy surrounding diet soda is beating once again, and this time critics are louder than ever. Earlier this year a series of studies compared the health risks of diet soda to those of serious illegal drugs and now more shocking information is coming out.
New studies raise the possibility that the artificial sweeteners in diet soda may confuse our metabolism. In short, a new study from Purdue University shows that diet soda may actually be making us fat. Many consumers are starting to wonder why the heck they still drink this stuff, which has me asking the question investors really care about.
What impact will this have on your money?
Diet Soda Danger!
As I sat to write this post, the local (Chicago) Fox News was beginning its 5pm show. I had the TV on for background noise and, in a strange twist of irony, one of the leading headlines for the nightly news was "Diet Soda Danger: why low calorie drinks may be harming your health." I had to chuckle for a moment at the irony, the sheer hype, and fear mongering. But the truth is that when one of our stocks finds itself in the cross-hairs of bad press, as investors we have two choices.
1. Get defensive: A natural reaction many foolish (lowercase) investors have when bad press abounds is to be "defensive" and emotional. They lash out on message boards, insult people who disagree with them, and try to convince the world that the hype is untrue.
2. Get defensive: Your other option is to investigate, determine what's real and what the risk is, and get defensive with your portfolio. Diversify, double down, or sell (if necessary) depending on what the actual long-term risks to your portfolio are.
In any business venture, being emotional costs you money; so I probably don't need to tell you that number two is the right approach.
Here are the risks, and the right moves to make.
Diversification Rules
As I assess the hype surrounding the "dangers of diet soda," I have to think that fast-growing Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS) is the stock most likely to be at risk. This may seem a bit off given the popularity of Diet Coke, and yes Diet Coke is the number one diet soda in the world. Actually, just last year, Diet Coke overtook regular Pepsi as the second highest selling soda brand in the world--period. But, while Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) relies on Diet Coke for 15% of its revenues, 70% of its business comes from non-carbonated beverages.
It may surprise you that many "healthy" drink brands like Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and Odwalla are now a part of the Coca-Cola family. Coca-Cola has acquired them in recent years, in preparation for a more health-conscious consumer environment. So while people may stop drinking Diet Coke, they won't stop buying drinks altogether.
Every dollar that Vitamin Water steals away from Diet Coke is still a dollar that Coca-Cola earns. They own a brand in every single beverage line at this point, from fruit juice, to cola, to water.
Now contrast that with Dr. Pepper. This fast-growing soda maker relies on carbonated beverages for a whopping 75% of its business and has seen strong growth in recent years due to heavy promotion of its Diet Dr. Pepper brand.
While I do believe that Diet Dr. Pepper tastes "more like real Dr. Pepper" (so good), I prefer Coke as an investment right now. The advantage is simply in Coke's ability to win by giving the "illusion of choice," no matter which direction market trends go.
And what about PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP)? Simply put, PepsiCo should come out of this unscathed. Not only does Pepsi already make very little money on Diet Pepsi, but PepsiCo actually gets a majority of its business from Frito Lay and Quaker. The truth is that, through acquisition, PepsiCo has become a food company that dabbles in beverages. Over 60% of PepsiCo's business comes from food products, while only 20% of comes from soda.
Pepsi's CEO, Indra Nooyi, has been ahead of this curve for years. Ever since she's taken the helm at Pepsi she's made healthy eating, sustainability, and social consciousness a priority.
Sometimes Nooyi's focus on healthy eating have come at the ire of board members, who felt they were a distraction. But today, with the stock near all-time highs, Nooyi's vision makes more sense for PepsiCo than ever. For Nooyi's vision and PepsiCo's product diversification, I feel their stock has the least risk.
Diet Soda Danger! But not in your portfolio!
It may seem like a bit of a reach to make a buy or sell decision strictly on diet soda health risks (or hype), but what else really separates these stocks?
These stocks are stuck in an investment "cola wars" of sorts; they all resemble each other, as investments. All three stocks trade with P/E multiples between 15-20 with dividend yields near 3%. They also are all trading near all-time highs.
So when you look at one business, in Dr. Pepper Snapple, that is so reliant on carbonated beverages, I think you have to be somewhat concerned. Especially when you look at competitors like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, that have less downside risk to the diet soda scare. Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo offer more diversification, either through food sales (Pepsi) or through healthy beverage alternatives (Coca-Cola).
That doesn't mean that diet soda will kill you. It also doesn't mean that you should sell Dr. Pepper Snapple. It simply means that you're probably a bit better off with PepsiCo and Coca-Cola right now, just while you wait to see how this diet soda drama plays out.

Setting Up Vonage with Your PCby Russell Shaw
If you are tired of high, fee-laden "traditional" wire-line phone bills, you might want to consider a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Dozens of such services are available, most of them at significant savings from what you are paying now. Vonage, which charges a flat rate of $24.99 per month for unlimited calling in the U.S. and Canada, has more than 700,000 subscribers and is one of the largest of these services.
In this article, we'll walk you through the necessary steps to establish and then hook up your Vonage service to your PC in order to make phone calls over the internet.
Activate Your Account
Before you set up your PC for Vonage service, you will need to sign up for, and activate, your Vonage service.
The way you do this depends on whether or not you order your Vonage service and equipment from the Vonage website, or if you buy your Vonage equipment at a retailer.
To set up your account, go to the Vonage site and review the list of calling plans and prices. Signing up is straightforward, with just one thing to consider. You'll be asked whether to keep your existing phone number, or get a new phone number assigned by Vonage, with your choice of area codes. Because porting your existing number can take weeks, you may want to have Vonage assign you a new number. Then again, if you've had your existing number for years, and most people know to contact you there, you may want to consider keeping that number.
Related Reading
Talk Is Cheap
After you make that choice, you'll send Vonage your contact and financial information, and then purchase and arrange for shipping of the Vonage equipment you need.
If you have already purchased your Vonage equipment from your retailer, and have brought it home to use, you will need to activate your device with the Vonage service. This procedure involves completing a few short steps before that equipment is enabled.
To activate the Vonage equipment you've bought from your retailer, point your browser to https://subscribe.vonage.com/retail-subscribe/retailActivate.htm, and go through the guided steps. These will vary depending on the retailer you purchased your Vonage equipment from, and the exact equipment that you've bought.
Once you've completed the activation process, give your new Vonage service about an hour or so to be configured.
Set Up Vonage with Your PC
Well, you've gotten that out of the way. Now, you're ready to get started setting your PC up for Vonage service.
After you open the boxes, take note of what's inside. Make sure that you find:
- A Vonage router such as a Linksys WRTP54G. This is the device that you will use to connect your phone to your broadband internet connection.
- Two Ethernet cables. One cable will be yellow and one will be blue. In most installations, the blue cable is all you'll need.
- A power adapter. This device will supply the electrical power to your Vonage router.
Your first step should be to determine if you have a built-in router that came with your cable or DSL modem, or if you have a DSL or cable modem without a router.
The odds are highly favorable that you already have a built-in router. To determine if this is the case, look on the back of your modem. If your device has multiple ports, it contains a built-in router.
In this case, the set-up process will involve hooking up your Vonage router to the router included with your broadband modem, and your phone to the Vonage router.
Here are the steps you should follow:
- Leave your Vonage router unplugged for now. Take the blue Ethernet cable out of the plastic wrapping it came in. Locate each end of your blue Ethernet cable.
- Connect one end of your blue Ethernet cable to the blue port labeled "Internet" on the back of your Vonage router.
Connect the blue Ethernet cable to your Vonage router's internet port.
- Pick up your cable or DSL modem with your built-in router, and locate an unused Ethernet port on the back of that router. That port will probably marked "Ethernet," and be wider than a standard phone port.
- Connect the other end of your blue Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your broadband modem with your router.
Connect the Ethernet cable to your broadband modem's Ethernet port.
Remove the power adapter from the box it came in.
- Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of your Vonage router. Plug the other end into a convenient electrical outlet. Note: Do not use another power adapter. This adapter is especially configured to work with your Vonage router's power demands.
- Open the plastic bag containing the phone cord that came with your Vonage equipment.
- Connect your phone cord to the green phone port #1 on your Vonage router. You'll hear a dial tone. This means that you are set up. Note: You will only need phone port #2 if you ordered a second phone line or a fax line.
To get a dial tone, connect your phone cord to your Vonage router's phone port.
Some older cable and DSL modems do not come with broadband routers. In this case, your Vonage set-up procedure will be a bit more complicated. You have the option of contacting your broadband provider and asking for a newer modem with router included, or instead following these steps:
- Turn off your PC and unplug your broadband modem's power cord. Disconnect any cables attaching your computer to your modem, but leave your modem attached to the internet.
- Connect one end of your blue Ethernet cable to your Ethernet (wide) port on your broadband modem.
- Connect the other end of your Ethernet cable to the blue port labeled "Ethernet" on your Vonage router.
- Take out your yellow Ethernet cable. Hook it up to the yellow Ethernet port on the back of your Vonage router.
Connect your yellow Ethernet cable to your Vonage router's Ethernet port.
- Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on the back of your PC. This will be the same port from which you just unplugged your modem.
- Plug your broadband modem's power adapter into an electrical outlet. Wait at least 60 seconds for your broadband modem to power up.
- Connect your power adapter to your Vonage router's power port. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
- Turn on your computer. Check to see if the Ethernet #1 light on the front of your Vonage router is lit.
- Test that you are connected to the Internet by opening your web browser and typing in an address such as www.vonage.com or www.oreillynet.com
- Connect your phone cord to the green phone port #1 on the back of your Vonage router. You should hear a dial tone. This means you're all set and ready to go.

For about 2 cents/minute I can use Skype to call from computer to a phone (cell or land-line) for pretty much anywhere on the globe. All my long distance calls to TELCO numbers are now made with Skype.
My Skype investment? About 30 USD for a usb headset.
Why would I pay Vonnage charges for their limited scope of US and Canada when I can use Skype? Do the math!
Skype - a better alternative to Vonnage

Skype charges a flat rate as of 1/1/2007 of $29.95 for unlimited to call to Canada and the U.S. Yes you can use it to call other Skype customers but Skype has less than half the features of Vonage. Not to mention Vonage just released Vonage Talk which is a free call software to any Vonage customer or any Vonage Talk user anywhere in the world.
The international rates of Skype are not 2 cents/minute to most locations they are well over 50 cents a minute to a lot of places. They are 2 cents/minute to the UK which Vonage includes in their calling plans not to mention that Spain, Italy, Ireland, France, Puerto Rico, and Canada are also included in their free calling area of their plans.
Also the Vonage talk software works as an IM chat. Allowing me to chat for free with anyone.
Why would I use Skype, when Vonage is better on all fronts at this point?
Skype - a better alternative to Vonnage

I have used Skype for a few years to keep my minutes down on my cell phone. Skype is not designed to take the place of regular phone service where Vonage is. You cannot call 911 from Skype but can from Vonage. At about $30.00 per year to make outgoing calls to the US and Canada without any special equipment except a microphone, which is built in with my laptop, I find Skype to fit my needs very well. Vonage is $300.00 per year which is 10 times the cost of Skype and the calls are always very clear. Of course there is the limitation of 10,000 minutes per month, but that has not been an issue for me.
My point is that comparing Skype to Vonage is like comparing apples to oranges. They are different services and each one has services some people need where the other one doesn't fit that persons needs. I am going to help my friend set up Vonage in a few days (I have a computer business) where they are changing from Qwest. Skype is made to suppliment whatever service you have, not to replace it.

Should Microsoft and Google stand up and oppose the NSA publicly? Will doing nothing work?
The big Media Story today is about a Whistle-Blower who is hiding and
may soon to be captured and returned to the US for Arrest and Trial.
The exposure of NSA spying tactics of forcing Microsoft and Google,
as well as a number of other Internet Providers, both here and abroad, to provide User Records has put this nation's Internet Users on guard.
The NSA's current program PRISM has now been shown to have been
used to invade and capture information from friendly foreign nations.
We are Americans. We claim to be Free. However, in the
last 20 years things have been changing. Can we afford to stay
out of the mess?
What I wrote, although it sounds like an hyperbole, is anything but.
I refer to CNN's presentation on July 17th's video of the US Congress
having a hearing with the Deputy Director's of the Department's of Justice, DOJ, the DIA, the National Security Agency, NSA. and one other.
In the 3 .8 hour Congressional Committee's hearing, members asked pointed
questions and received evasive answers, with promises made that a secret
session would be more appropriate to answer their queries.
The queries by the Congressmen and Congresswomen were to the point
of why the NSA and other such agencies were conducting surveillances'
of US citizens, with partner corporations, collecting said US citizen's information from the telephone (cell phone) calls, email messages, and otherwise, that had been placed and received, and specifically without the knowledge and/or permission of said US citizens, in violation of two of the amendments to the US Constitution, plainly illegal acts.
Hyperbole, not hardly.
I found on my operating system, evidence of the NSA's Prism program.
Regardless of your opinion, please take a few minutes and
respond. ..Your input is necessary. ..Stand up, be fearless.

Shava Nerad 10+Jul 18 2013: Generally if you check on your Congressional delegation's web sites, they have times that they spend in their home districts that you can sign up for "office hours" just rather like professors have. Also there are town meetings. If you don't like to use their web site (in which case, why are you here?) try calling their offices and ask for the "Constituent Services" staff, and they will fix you up. You might have to wait a while.
You might not get very much time, so I would recommend preparing for the meeting. If you have interest in a specific issue, you might find it better to meet with a staffer who advises the senator or representative on that area -- for example, if you are concerned with the NSA, find out if they have a legal, military, or national security staff advisor, and set up a meeting to talk to that person. You'll likely get a longer slot sooner.
These meetings usually are educational both ways. The rep/senator or staffer will listen to your concerns and any new information you bring to the table, and may have information from "inside the beltway" that may make you feel better, worse, or both about the entire thing.
Also, you get to have a real say in how your people in DC are treating the situation, as a person who takes the time to schedule a meeting is weighted far more heaviliy than a letter, fax, email, or (God knows) an internet petition. It's considered that you are not only someone who cares, but cares enough that you probably influence others (including other likely voters! :). So yes, it means your opinion counts for more. You are a citizen lobbyist, even without a checkbook in hand.
This is, in fact, what the term lobbyist originally comes from -- from people who just buttonholed their delegation in the *lobby* of Congress to ask them to represent their opinions on the floor. This is your constitutional right to petition Congress for redress of grievances in the Bill of Rights. Use it!
Is that propaganda? ;)

I see what you are trying to explain.
But I am an old man with 3/4 of a century under my belt.
Been there, Done that.
Your education is not in question. We all know you are smart.
So pick your side and fight.
You can take the government's position and make their excuses.
Or, take the people's position and do all those things you tell me about.
Lastly, you can do nothing.
Your choice. We will still defend your right to your choice.
And argue our positions with great vigor.
There is a problem.
We are trying to discover a quick solution by having this conversation.
Maybe we will be successful, maybe not.
But we can all have fun trying.
By the way. Your next conversation just shows --

The Vikings' season ended this afternoon with a 26-14 loss to the Eagles. The Viking defense put forth a valiant effort but one huge play by Brian Westbrook trashed all that. Meanwhile, the Eagles defense completely shut down Tarvaris Jackson, Adrian Peterson and the Viking offense in the second half. The biggest factor of all may have been the punting and punt coverage which conspired to tip the field position advantage too far in Philly's favor. That needs to be shored up for next season for sure…but, there will be plenty of time to talk about that stuff later. Many months in fact.
I'll be curious to hear what all the armchair quarterbacks on the call-in shows and message boards have to say about this one in the immediate aftermath. Too simple to just hang it on Brad Childress and the offensive gameplan. The Eagles have a great defense and today that defense was just too much for a quarterback making his first career playoff start. The Philly offense wasn't particularly impressive but Westbrook, a great player to be sure, made a great play when it was needed. And though Donovan McNabb had pressure in his face all day, he was able to do enough to get his team the win. The experience advantage at quarterback made all the difference in this game.

Why EMC Corporation (EMC) Stock Is Slipping Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- EMC Corporation (EMC) stock is sliding early Wednesday after the company reported below-consensus guidance for the full year.
By market open, shares had slipped 2.3% to $26.14.
The company said for fiscal 2014 it expects adjusted earnings of $1.90 a share and fully-reported net income of $1.29 a share. Analysts had expected adjusted earnings of $1.94 a share and fully-reported net income of $1.48 a share.
For its March-ending first quarter, the company earned 35 cents a share and generated $5.48 billion in sales.Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates EMC CORP/MA as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate EMC CORP/MA (EMC) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, growth in earnings per share, good cash flow from operations, increase in stock price during the past year and increase in net income. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results."

This problem was already reported in Red Hat Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=978964
As I described in my comment, ncat should try connecting to another address resolved by getaddrinfo(), if connecting to
one fails.
In current situation, I cannot connect to a host whose hostname is resolved to more addresses, the first one resolved
address is IPv6 and I cannot connect through IPv6.
I'm going to make a patch which would do this.
If you have anything to tell me or suggest about this, tell me. I will start making a patch and if I succeed, I'll post
it here.
