Work details
Boxer, Beetle: A Novel by Ned Beauman (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Nazis! Nazi memorabilia collectors! Boxers! Boxing promoters! Insects! Entomologists! Sufferers of trimethylaminuria! People who have to work with and smell them!The ecosystem of Ned Beauman's Boxer, Beetle is complicated and repulsive, but wound up not being quite as compelling as other reviewers have made it sound.
The novel intertwines two narratives and two timelines in the now-classic format of a historical narrative being chased down by a modern explorer. In the 21st century, we have a young man named Fishy (so named for his unfortunate, genetically-determined body chemistry and the odors it produces), who conducts internet auctions of historical artifacts at his day job, and has a special sideline in the Nazi memorabilia trade for a hobby, and whose latest mysterious pursuit (alongside a nasty gun-toting freelancer who is killing his way to a new find) leads him to start exploring the story of a British entomologist, fascist and eugenics enthusiast and the diminutive Jewish boxer whom the entomologist manipulates into becoming the subject of some, err, special research in 1936.
Trimethylaminuria is neither played up for laughs (something I was kind of expecting-with-a-cringe from the novel's earliest pages) nor presented as a subject for our compassion or pity (though in real life lots of sufferers wind up committing suicide as a result of the social isolation it tends to impose, the Gordon Crisps of the world aside) as it stands in, in the modern timeline, for all of the things about humanity eugenicists want to eliminate (in 1936, of course, they're much more blatant and reprehensible about it). For Fishy it's just a fact in his life, albeit one that has dealt him out of the reproductive sweepstakes far more effectively than anything the eugenicists of yesteryear would have dared to dream of. He's got bigger concerns as the novel unfolds, like surviving and escaping from his weird captor. Or so it would seem as the novel gets going, but then Fishy and the gunman disappear except for quick and pointless interludes. Fishy's disorder winds up being kind of a punchline for the novel, but otherwise, there really isn't much point to his being in it. Which is a shame.
Meanwhile, Philip Erskine's story (1936) is a study in multiform ickiness, not because he specializes in carrion-eating/carnivorous insects, but because of his and his family's matter-of-fact fascism and anti-semetism and, while we're at it, classism. For Erskine is a character straight out of Michel Houellebecq, that French novelist I so love to hate and hate to love. Amid all of his other passions and pretenses are little observations like this one, made while he tries to address the difficult problem of how to masturbate when sharing a cabin and a bed with a professional colleague: "Why couldn't one just go to the doctor every month to have one's semen, this irrational fluid, syringed off like the pus from a boil."
This long before he is shown regarding a semen sample demanded from his boxer specimen as "ootheca", a term usually reserved for the egg case of members of that insect family that contains mantises and cockroaches, thus demonstrating just how human he thinks Seth Roach isn't (and lest one think Roach is by any stretch of the imagination a sympathetic figure or victim, he's just biding his time until he can go out again and get rip-roaring drunk and beat the crap out of whatever "toff" is foolish enough to take him home. There's rough sex, and there's what Roach does. Yikes.).
So, like Arslan before it in my reading this year, this is a fairly repellent and ugly book, but this time unredeemed by beautiful prose. Beauman takes great, gleeful pleasure in giving us a close look at some of the greatest ugliness humanity has ever produced, and at the people who allowed it to flourish largely because they were happy to admire it from a distance. Erskine, for instance, is, in addition to all the other icky things he is, such a fan of Adolf Hitler's that he goes so far as to breed a stronger, nastier, more belligerent strain of an eyeless beetle he originally discovered in a cave in the Poland the Fuhrer is soon to invade, all so that there might be an insect worthy of being named after his hero.
And then there's the boxer, all four foot eleven of him, nine-toed Seth Roach, descended from immigrants chased away by pogroms from the environs of the cave where Erskine found his breeding stock, the kind of gay man who embraces the idea that his preferences are considered perversions and who not only lets himself get roped into being Erskine's study subject, but into coming along to a fateful conference that is supposed to be about artificial languages (think Esperanto, only weirder and more fiddly) but winds up being something rather more vile.
But hey, sometimes, at least, Boxer, Beetle is funny, as when we come, midway through the book, to a description of Erskine's ancestral home, which his father had determined to modernize so thoroughly that it would still be modern in a hundred years. Rube Goldberg isn't in it. I could have maybe used more of this kind of thing for my tour through the slime -- especially in a novel that is promoted as "hilarious." Had I been looking for belly laughs instead of bugs, I might have been annoyed at the paucity of the former (as it was, I could have used more of the latter, but that's what Daniel Evan Weiss' debut was for. And Tyler Knox's for that matter). As it stands, well, this is the first novel of a young man of undoubted talent but who maybe bit off a bit much for his first project. His second, The Teleportation Accident, was long-listed for the Man Booker this year, and sounds interesting enough for me to give it another chance, but on the strength of the subject matter more than of his writing as I've seen it so far.
Anyway, it doesn't sound like it's quite as filthy.
After the first chapter (the protagonist finds a private detective murdered and in possession of a very interesting letter relevant to the history of The Third Reich), I though this was going to be one of my reading highlights of the year. But no. The author, who is a brilliant writer, seems to think it is very entertaining to read about the homosexual tendencies of , well, just about everyone. Lame. If you think you'd like something written by someone who was trying to meld the styles of Jimmy Breslin and William Burroughs, it might be for you. It was supposedly funny. I chuckled maybe twice.
Rating: 4.25* of five
The Publisher Says: Kevin "Fishy" Broom has his nickname for a reason-a rare genetic condition that makes his sweat and other bodily excretions smell markedly like rotting fish. Consequently, he rarely ventures out of the London apartment where he deals online in Nazi memorabilia. But when Fishy stumbles upon a crime scene, he finds himself on the long-cold trail of a pair of small-time players in interwar British history. First, there's Philip Erskine, a fascist gentleman entomologist who dreams of breeding an indomitable beetle as tribute to Reich Chancellor Hitler's glory, all the while aspiring to arguably more sinister projects in human eugenics. And then there's Seth "Sinner" Roach, a homosexual Jewish boxer, nine-toed, runtish, brutish-but perfect in his way-who becomes an object of obsession for Erskine, professionally and most decidedly otherwise. What became of the boxer? What became of the beetle? And what will become of anyone who dares to unearth the answers?
First-time novelist Ned Beauman spins out a dazzling narrative across decades and continents, weaving his manic fiction through the back alleys of history. Boxer, Beetle is a remarkably assured, wildly enjoyable debut.
My Review: Pawn Stars meets Queer as Folk, directed by Leni Riefenstahl and produced by Russell T Davies.
I read this after I'd gulped down The Teleportation Accident. Whatever Ned Beauman writes, he leavens with amusing dialogue and mildly incredible situations. I've heard his work characterized as science fiction. I think of that as a compliment, yet I'm not sure that label fits. It feels to me more as though Beauman has Anglicized the South American Magical Realism, shining the black light and the strobe light simultaneously on real situations, recognizable people, and commonplace locations, thereby revealing the bloodstains, the slug tracks, and the frightened faces of bystanders to the events unfurling before us.
This strange tale of fascists obsessed with Jewish sex objects is made much more fun by the modern-day frame around it. The Nazi-memorabilia thread made the whole story come together, as there was no missing the echoes of the insanity of the 1930s in modern times.
But to me the 4ft11in Sinner Roach (a piece of word-play that only makes sense in the book's context) steals the book. A boxer who makes more money from the men he fucks than he'd ever dreamed possible, goes to New York to fight the biggest fight of his career. If he can stay sober, he'll be in the big time. Well...Sinner is aptly named, let's say. His antics in New York and London are worth the book's cost. But the modern-day outcast, Sinner's echo, good-guy hacker/thief Fishy is just as amusing as he races around London in Sinner's long-ago wake to make his own big-time score. Where the two paths converge is a very moving moment. Considering Beauman's apparent dislike of sentimentality, it's also unusual.
I can't help but complain about one thing: The Philip Erskine Malaise. As soon as he takes over the narrative, he leaches the fun and slows the pace from the narrative. His wishy-washy mealy-mouthed scaredy-cat snobbery made me cringe, roll my eyes, and snort impatiently. Hence the 3/4-star deduction from the rating. Because this started out as a 5-star read, and should have stayed one. Don't cheat yourself, though, get the book on your TBR hillock somewhere neat the top.

The three main characters in Boxer Beetle all have what one might call issues. Kevin, alias Fishy, suffers from a rare condition that makes him smell like week-old seafood; he's also a stealthy collector of Nazi memorabilia. Philip Erskine is a fascist, eugenicist and repressed homosexual, who in the mid-Thirties becomes fascinated by Seth "Sinner" Roach, a gay, sadistic, alcoholic flyweight from Poland by way of the East End of London, on the principle that the latter, small but nearly perfectly formed, is the proverbial flower in a dungheap.
Certain intrigues involving a Welsh hitman and – it seems – a millionaire property developer who shares Kevin's taste in collectables, compel his interest in the story of the other two, both by now dead.
It transpires that Seth wasn't the only specimen to find a home in Erskine's laboratory; the real star of the book is the eponymous beetle, bred from a specimen found by Erskine on a field trip and named, thanks to the swastika on its back as well as a certain, let's say, unscrupulousness, after Adolf Hitler.
This is a fairly busy book. My favourite part is the middle: an energetic parody of a country house murder mystery. It's fun partly because its singular focus allows a smooth narrative flow for a while; but mostly because it's just very funny.
As well as evoking Agatha Christie and Evelyn Waugh, it also slyly attacks the contemporary English upper-middlebrow heritage novel, through the insupportable Millicent, a dead ringer for Ian McEwan's Briony Tallis ("Mr Erskine, I have just seen your friend Mr Morton brutally sodomising your dear mother!")
The rest is ambitious and energetic, but seems, as critics used to say, narratively overdetermined. Against this one should sound a quiet note of praise. When Beauman gives himself space he shows a brave kindness towards some blisteringly unpromising characters.
I liked his description of Seth's first drink in some time as "an intense relief, as when someone tells you at the last moment that you do not have to do something that you have been dreading"; and I loved the tentative relationship between Erskine and Seth and how love, hate, violence, domination and a funny kind of domesticity all swirl unpredictably around in it for a little while, before we're back to the rough urban poetry, the bugs and the big ideas.

Kevin Broom, also known as "Fishy", suffers from trimethylaminuria: a rare condition that means he smells of rotting fish. He doesn't get out much, except to run sinister, after-hours errands for wealthy property developer Grublock who, like Kevin, collects Nazi memorabilia. (The Nazi memorabilia message boards are "brisk with shared endeavour and healthy competition", which is more appealing to Kevin than the "depressing" trimethylaminuria support groups.)
The novel begins with Grublock sending Kevin to check up on a private investigator. Kevin finds him dead. He also finds a note written to a man called Dr Erskine from Adolf Hitler thanking him for his "kind tribute". Grublock has mentioned a boxer called Seth Roach, though Kevin has no idea how he might be connected. When Grublock is killed, Kevin must try to find out.
What follows is a gripping and clever story, as Kevin reconstructs the events that led to the letter from Hitler, and uncovers the tragically doomed love affair between the eugenics-obsessed entomologist Dr Erskine (he provides the beetles) and the Jewish boxer Seth Roach. Along the way we meet rabbis, small-time gangsters, town planners and, memorably, another entomologist who carries bedbugs around in a glass vial, "which every night he tipped out onto his hairy thigh so they could feed on his blood". There is a brief history of invented languages, a discussion about dissonant music and its relationship to capitalism, and an analysis of what is wrong with new towns (among other things, there are too many roundabouts).
While the frame narrative occasionally strays too far into postmodern whimsy, as the mostly cheerful Kevin is driven around handcuffed to a dashboard by a Welsh hitman ("When I am in a stressful situation, I often like to ask myself: what would Batman do in my place?"), the 1930s are wonderfully evoked, and the historical sections of the novel are taut, thematically rich and extremely well written. One chapter begins: "The morning light peeked in through the windows of the mortuary, pasty and trembling like the sort of ghoulish little boy who would rather see a dead girl than a naked one." Elsewhere, the "tepid April rain fell on London with all the sincerity of a hired sales gimmick for umbrellas". A girl's character and appearance is summed up with this: "She had so many freckles that Erskine wondered if she might have stolen some from other children."
The "well-made" realist novel has been thoroughly picked over lately, and many commentators have wondered why writers persist with, as Coetzee puts it, "its plot and its characters and its settings". Some have said the realist novel is dead, or just boring. But the best kind of realism is not the literary equivalent of a new town with too many roundabouts, and signposts that don't allow you to get lost. Great realist fiction has always been about messing with reality – exposing it, heightening it, exploring it, smashing it up a bit, turning it inside out and shaking it to get a better look at it. It doesn't always have to be "realistic", but it does need to be compassionate, and to acknowledge that, because we are all flawed, no one is a villain. It's relatively easy to write a clever essay, or a piece of fiction that rejects plot, character and setting. But it takes a real skill to make a tragic hero out of the five-foot, nine-toed, alcoholic Seth Roach, for whom sex is an extension of boxing and "posh cunts" are there to exploit and beat up.
Almost everyone else in this novel is even less appealing – in theory – than Seth, but it is possible to identify with all of them and to care about what happens to them next. Because we are emotionally involved in the drama of the novel and its characters, we can more meaningfully engage with its thematic questions. What does it mean to feel you have to hold someone or something in contempt? What is true progress? What would it mean to breed a super-race of anything (beetles with swastikas on their wings, for example) and to stamp out any kind of mutation?
It's clear from this compelling debut that Beauman can perform the complicated paradoxical trick required of the best 21st-century realist novelists: to take an old and predictable structure and allow it to produce new and unpredictable connections.
Monstrous misfits with ugly motives are beautifully rendered in a novel where Beauman's scrupulous research is deftly threaded through serious themes in a laugh-out-loud-on-the-train history lesson.
It's clear from this compelling debut that Beauman can perform the complicated paradoxical trick required of the best 21st-century realist novelists: to take an old and predictable structure and allow it to produce new and unpredictable connections.

London, 1934.

Seventy-five years later, a crime scene clue sets a hapless collector of wartime memorabilia on the trail of scientist and subject, leading toward a danger that my not have died with the Third Reich, after all.… (more)

Language is a tool used to communicate our thoughts to others. I have read some posts where the poster not only condensed 10 paragraphs into 1, they managed to squeeze it into one long run-on sentence. I don't get my panties in a bunch over it, I just don't bother reading if there isn't some level of readability.
I have no problem with people interchanging to, two, and too; or there, their and they're; etc. Or with most grammar issues, or incorrect spelling. (That last sentence had horrible grammar.) But at some point it becomes too difficult to read some posts. If a person wants to become part of the discussion, there needs to be a minimum of effort on their part.

Meet our alumni
Since the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, fifteen UON graduates and students have stepped onto the world's stage and completed at either the Olympic and Paralympic games.
This year's 31st Olympiad in Rio will play host to three UON graduate athletes representing Australia in athletics, Paralympic sailing and Paralympic track and field.
Ms Christie Dawes recently guaranteed her place in the Rio Paralympic Team by winning the women's Gold Coast Marathon with a record breaking time of 1:43:45.
Ms Dawes said she would now "try to sneak in a 5000-metre, a 1500 metre and maybe a 4x400 relay" at this year's Paralympics. Rio will be Ms Dawes sixth Olympic Games. She claimed bronze in the 5000m at London in 2012 and silver in the 4x100m relay at Beijing in 2008.
Ms Dawes graduated from UON in 2006 with a Bachelor of Teaching and a Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies. When she isn't competing or training, Ms Dawes is a primary school teacher in Newcastle and enjoys communicating with and inspiring young people through her personal story.
Mr Benn Harradine is set to compete in the men's discus throw at Rio, which will be his third Olympic games. He made the discus final at the London 2012 Olympics Games, placing ninth and was 31st on his debut at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This year, Mr Harradine will be looking to make his way into the top eight at the Rio Olympics.
Mr Harradine was born and raised in Newcastle and is a proud Indigenous man from the Watjabaluk/Wergia people of the Wimera.
Mr Harradine graduated from UON in 2007 with a Bachelor of Health & Physical Education and a Bachelor of Education.
Be sure to keep an eye out for him at Rio in his iconic #harrasuit, his themed lycra competition suits.
Ms Liesl Tesch will be competing at Rio's Paralympic Games in wheelchair sailing alongside teammate Mr Daniel Fitzgibbon. Rio will be Ms Tesch's sixth Olympic games as she looks to defend her gold medal win from London 2012.
Ms Tesch is from Woy Woy on the NSW Central Coast and graduated from UON with a Bachelor of Science in 1991 and a Graduate Diploma in Education in 1996. She is also currently studying her Masters in Special Education so that she can teach youth with intellectual disabilities.
Ms Tesch says she loves teaching her students about diversity, using her Paralympic experience as a case study and is proud to have won a medal from every Olympic Games that her students have been alive.
Additionally, UON is very proud of all our graduate's achievements. In particular, the following UON alumni play a crucial role in making the Rio 2016 Olympic Games a success beyond the sporting arena.
Dr David Hughes was named Medical Director to the Rio Olympic Team in October 2013.
His role will see him provide advice to the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) on matters related to the health and wellbeing of athletes and the execution of medical services provided to the Australian Olympic Team.
Dr Hughes is also the Chief Medical Officer at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), and is the first individual to simultaneously fill both the AIS and Australian Olympic team lead medical roles.
Dr Hughes graduated from UON with a Bachelor of Medicine in 1987. He was also named a finalist for UON's 2015 Alumni Award for National Leadership due to his key role in Australian sports medicine and his efforts in championing the integrity of Australian sport.
Ms Bronwyn King is the designer of the commemorative, two dollar Olympic and Paralympic coins. Creating the five designs, Ms King says she took inspiration from the flow of movement preformed in sport and the iconic Olympic rings. Across the five coins there are 32 sport motifs representing the majority of sports Australia is competing in.
Ms King graduated from UON with a Bachelor of Natural History Illustration in 2008 and has gone on to be the Royal Australian Mint's youngest designer.
Each week, from 19 July, one coin featuring Ms King's design will be released in Woolworths stores, so be sure to collect yours today.
We wish all of our athletes, UON alumni, students and participants, involved in the 2016 Rio Olympics, every success.

In his home country of Singapore, Dr William Tan is a local celebrity, representing courage, compassion and, above all, the refusal to succumb to life's obstacles. As a wheelchair athlete, he has conquered both the sports track and some of the toughest marathon terrains on earth, including the Antarctic and North Pole. And as a doctor, and cancer survivor, he's used these global marathons to raise money and help those in need of urgent medical treatment across the globe.
William's career as a medical doctor began at the University of Newcastle, Australia, graduating in 2004. He recently returned for the first time to accept the 2015 Alumni of the Year Award for Exceptional Community Service. We caught up with William during his visit, and again at the National Cancer Centre, Singapore, where he still works today. The result is the incredible tale of a young boy who decided never to give in, and the man who never has.
What have you been up to since graduating? Are you, or maybe another UON graduate you know, doing something interesting or innovative? We'd love to hear about it! Drop us a line and share your story at firstname.lastname@example.com

We were wondering why we don't get cert warnings when going to a site with a
cert for
'blahblah.internal.company.com' with a URL of the form: http://blahblah/file.html :
A colleague found the code:
> Looks like some shadiness in mozilla/security/nss/lib/certdb/certdb.c,

This is a security vulnerability.
An attacker could get a cert issued by Verisign for www.badguys.com and
impersonate www.internal.company.com , assuming some users at company.com have
internal.company.com set as their default search domain and access their site
using the short name 'www'.
IMHO, the right way to do it would to expand the short name being accessed into
a FQDN and compare them. I don't have any idea how to do this in practice; it
might require a browser setting. Unfortunately, my first idea, resolving the
name from the cert and comparing IP addresses, is also insecure: it would just
require the attacker to modify their own DNS record for www.badguys.com to point
to the same ip address as www.internal.company.com.
This bug makes SSL security dependent on DNS security (which is bad).
However, being able to support the desired behavior is good: it's nice for
people to be able to use unqualified names, and the security infrastructure can
(and should) support them. It would be nice if NSS, rather than trimming the
qualification from the CN, added candidate qualifications to the non-qualified
host name until it got a match or ran out of candidates. The hard part is where
to get the candidate qualifications from.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Tim, thanks for reporting this in bugzilla.
To eliminate the vulnerability, it is necessary to remove from NSS the code
quoted above. That will immediately have the effect that https URLs featuring
non-FQDNs will all get host name mismatch errors.
To retain the desired functionality (that is, in order for URLs like
https://www/file.html to continue to work) some code must be added to
NSS or the application that calls NSS's cert name matching function
(which, in mozilla, is PSM) that:
a) has a copy of the DNS search path for the system on which it is running,
WITHOUT relying on the DNS protocol/servers for that information, and
WITHOUT relying on NIS/YP protocol/servers for that info.
b) constructs FQDNs from the simple hostname in the URL and the domain names
in the DNS search path, and tests them with NSS's host name matching
There is, in general, no way for NSS to find this information. So either
c) we add a new NSS function that allows the application to give NSS a copy
of the domain search list, and require the application to call it, or
d) we simply let the "application-supplied cert-chain validation callback"
function do what I described in b above.
Either way, to retain the desired functionality in mozilla, a change to
PSM is required, and I suspect that will take longer than the NSS change.
The question I have now, is this:
Should we go ahead and remove the vulnerability now, even if we cannot then
restore the desired functionality for some time thereafter?
I'm adding John G Myers, who is presently working on PSM in his spare (?)
time, to this list. John, your thoughts on how to add back the relevant
functionality to PSM are invited.
FWIW, IE doesn't have similar code in it and warns on accessing such a site.
I'm removing the security sensitive flag, since the text of this bug
has been posted to netscape.public.mozilla.security. :(
Mozilla does DNS lookups through NSPR, so for NSS to get this information NSPR
would have to add a new function for returning the domain search list. After
that is done, PSM could then call into NSPR to get the information to give to
NSS, or NSS could assume its calling applications have the same search list as
NSPR and directly call into NSPR to get the information.
Do most, or any, systems have a standard or common API by which an
application can fetch the local system's DNS search path?
Is there an API that works on windows 9x, Win2K and WinXP?
And, what about systems that use NIS/YP in host->IP address resolution ?
How can we simulate the behavior of that in the construction of FQDNs?

proposed patch v1
This patch also removes another non-standard name matching behavior.
The old code treated a simple host name in the cert, e.g. CN=foo.bar.com
as if is also matched [^.]*.foo.bar.com
Comment on attachment 141379 [details] [diff] [review]
proposed patch v1
Nelson, I verified that this patch removes the two
non-standard name matching behaviors. But I'd like to
know whether you plan to implement the safe versions
of the two non-standard name matching behaviors. If
not, we break backward compatibility. I just wanted
to make sure that's what you want to do.
In answer to comment 7:
Yes, I think our first obligation is to remove the vulnerability.
If we are able to reinstate the desired behavior in a non-vulnerable way at
some point, then that is fine, but I am not convinced there is such a way
in general, especially in the presence of NIS.
I would not delay ther removal of the vulnerability while we look for a
non-vulnerable way to reinstate the desired behavior.
Thanks, Nelson.
Just curious: what is the second non-standard name matching
behavior (the one you described in comment 6) useful for?
It allowed a company to get one cert that matched all servers in their
outermost domain, e.g. one cert that said (e.g.) CN=netscape.com
could be used on www.netscape.com, imaps.netscape.com,
secnews.netscape.com, etc.
...which was made necessary because CAs historically charged extortionate rates
for wildcard CAs. The "subdomains not allowed" restriction generally benefits
CAs, not server operators or end users. The restriction requires domaines to
buy more certs from the CA. I don't know if competition in CAs has changed this
There could conceivably be a domain where the top-level web server has lower
security requirements than some subdomain, but this is a stretch.
"for wildcard CAs" should be "for wildcard certs"
Is the second non-standard name matching behavior
a security vulnerability, too? It seems that its
security risk is the same as that of wildcard certs.
This behavior turns ANY single-named-server cert into a subdomain server cert.
E.g. if you have a cert that names, e.g. CN=www.domain.TLD, then it may be used
with *.www.domain.TLD.
The security risk is certainly very similar as that of wildcard certs.
Any additional risk comes about because the wildcard is invisible,
and thus unlikly to be spotted by the vigilant user or admin.
John, do you think we should preserve this behavior? (I don't).
I consider the second nonstandard name matching behavior to be an acceptable
risk/benefit tradeoff. I may well be overestimating the benefit, though.
These two features go back to at least the Netscape Navigator 3.x sources.
They may have made sense way back then.
I think today this second feature has no real benefit. Today mozilla and
browsers derived from it are "alternative" products, and no enterprise will
setup its business infrastucture to depend on features that are not found
in IE. I am told that neither of these features is in IE, so I think it's
time to drop 'em. I surely don't want to be asked to defend them ever again.

As our backward compatibility tests correctly shown,
this fix broke backward compatibility. Since this bug
is a security vulnerability we can break backward
compatibility to fix it but we need to remember to
document this in the NSS 3.10 release notes.
We should update the ssl.sh QA test script used in
our backward compatibility tests so that they pass.
Bishakha, could you take care of this?
I'm beginning to think that our QA script named "all.sh" should be renamed
to "lessthanall.sh". I continue to desire that the checked-in QA scripts
used by developers be ALL-inclusive, so that they accurately predict the
outcome of nightly QA testing.
Comment on attachment 145667 [details] [diff] [review]
supplemental patch for ssl.sh QA test script
To backport this patch to older NSS branches (to
which this patch cannot be applied cleanly), you
just need to edit ssl.sh (and ecssl.sh, if it exists)
and make sure that the argument to the -h option of
all tstclnt commands (including those in the echo
commands) is ${HOSTADDR} instead of ${HOST}.
wtc, do you know if the mozilla 1.7 branch has this fix/NSS 3.10?
I talked to Nelson earlier, it is not fixed in the 3.9.1 that the mozilla 1.7
branch is using.
Chris, the Mozilla 1.7 branch doesn't have this fix.
I'll be happy to check it in if you invite me to join
the gmail beta club.
Julien, I'll need to check this fix in on the NSS 3.9
branch as well. This fix breaks backward compatibility,
so you need to tell your NSS 3.9.2 customers to watch
out for this.
This bug fix requires that https URLs always contain FQDNs.
That's not going to be a problem for public Internet use (e.g. banks, merchants),
but could be a BIG problem for "intranet" (corporate) users who often tend
to be sloppy and use simple hostnames in their web page links.
Previously, it was decided not to impose this change, with its potential
incompatibility, on moz users at the very last minute before moz 1.7 RTM.
mozilla.org is free to change its mind about that, but should do so with its
eyes wide open to the potential consequences.
doesn't comment 16 indicate that such links would not work in IE, anyway?
Wan-Teh, we already recommended to our customers to use wildcard certs or
multiple hostnames in the cert. I don't think we ever documented the behavior
that is being corrected here. So it shouldn't be a problem hopefully. Since we
are doing a 3.9.2 beta drop to our internal customers in the next couple days,
it would be good if this got checked in before so we are certain it didn't break
anything before the 3.9.2 rtm later this month.
I checked in the two patches on the NSS_3_9_BRANCH

McNair Cub Scout Adventure Camp is an overnight, full program camp for all family members at Bovay Scout Ranch. Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos and their families will enjoy an exciting variety of activities at several program areas and food service in the camp's air conditioned dining hall. A staff member in each area will provide program supplies and support the parents who will be invited to assist in leading the activities.
Conducted at the McNair Cub Scout Adventure Camp at Bovay Scout Ranch, McNair Cub Scout Adventure Camps may include: seeking treasure in the lost mine, archeological quest at the dinosaur dig, high speed pedal feat at the BMX bike track, Robin Hood style adventure at the archery range, marksmanship at the BB gun range, action at the K.S. "Bud" Adams sports field, exploring our camp at the nature center, and splashing in the water at the David Weekley Family Water Park (weather permitting).
Enjoy all the wonder and beauty of the central Texas rolling hills and lakes at Bovay Scout Ranch. Conveniently located just 60 minutes from downtown Houston, Bovay Scout Ranch can be found just three miles south of Navasota on the east side of Highway 6 on County Road 317.
The fee for camp is $40 per person and includes three meals (lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday with vegetarian and turkey patty options), patch and Scout's program supplies. Children under five attend free of charge; please note that the program is designed for Scouts. Scouts must be members of the Boy Scouts of America. A $100 non-refundable deposit for the group secures a spot.
One adult per 15 youth in the pack may attend at no cost. This adult will be asked to volunteer to work as program staff and must attend the 8:00 am leader's meeting. To ensure your camp reservation, registrations, including all fees, must be complete thirty (30) days prior to the camp date. For your convenience, Bovay offers limited quantities of patches, snacks, beverages, and t-shirts for sale in the camp store called Trader Vics.
Every adult attending Bovay Scout Ranch must follow Bovay's policies and procedures located in the Leader's Guide and the Guide to Safe Scouting. Click on a date to register:
Bovay Scout Ranch is looking for dedicated volunteers and paid staff to serve Scouting by working at McNair Cub Scout Adventure Camp throughout the year and Resident Camp during July. The requirements are stiff; the jobs are demanding; the experience is exhilarating. For applications, contact Geno Aguilar.
Every pack and den must provide two-deep leadership. Sufficient adult leadership must be provided on all trips and outings based on the total number of youth attending. Cub Scouts must bring at least one family member. Webelos may be under the direction of a Webelos leader, but Webelos leaders may not be responsible for more than one additional "nonfamily member" youth. Every adult must have a copy of their Youth Protection Training certificate taken online within last two years. Tiger Cubs are approved to participate in Adventure Camp, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Every Scout and child must be under the supervision of a leader, parent or guardian. Bovay follows all Guide to Safe Scouting rules.
Campers need to bring their own tent and cots. There are a limited number of tents and cots available for a rental fee (tents $10; cots $7); therefore, we strongly urge you to place your rental order early on the reservation form. Tents are canvas walled on a metal frame attached to a concrete slab and will accommodate two cots.
Campers may check-in between 3:00 - 10:00 p.m. on Friday evening or between 7:00 - 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. The dining hall will be closed for Saturday breakfast so please plan accordingly. Programs begin on Saturday at 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. and run until 5:00 p.m. Campers will be served lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast Sunday morning.
The designated leader will check-in at registration office in the administration building (approximately one mile past the main gate on the left) and register the unit or group. Registration lines can be a long on busy weekends so please be patient. To facilitate a quicker registration process, please be sure to have all of the mandatory paperwork:
1. Camp roster, two copies;
2. Youth Protection Training, copy of certificate for every adult;
3. Current BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (Part A & B for all Scouting events) for every participant, two copies alphabetized in an envelope or notebook (one to keep in campsite and one to turn in during registration);
4. Camp registration confirmation (printed receipt);
5. Hazardous Weather Training, copy of certificate for one adult in the group (taken online within past years).
When registration is complete, the staff will assign campsites and campers may then proceed to their campsite. When you arrive at your campsite, please inspect your campsite and any rental equipment (cots or tents) to make sure there are no safety issues or prior damages. If your cots or tents have any problems please report it immediately to staff. All Bovay campsites have a pavilion with multiple picnic tables and a red fire water bucket. Distribute wristbands to all youth and adults. All persons onsite must wear their designated wristbands at all times. Wristband colors determine which rotation schedule the Scout should follow. Please follow the specified rotation schedule as the program is designed for a specific number of youth at each outpost.
Departure is after breakfast on Sunday. Camp is closed at 11 a.m. On the morning of departure, the campmaster will drop off cleaning supplies at the restrooms. Follow the written instructions for cleaning assigned showers and restrooms. Scouts should conduct a "police line" where Scouts stand within arm's length of each other and walk the entire campsite picking up all trash. The campmaster will inspect each campsite to make sure the campsite, restrooms, showers, and pavilions are undamaged and clean, and that all gear and trash is removed. After passing inspection, proceed to the administration building to sign out and pick up paperwork.

|3 - 7 nachten
Ho soggiornato per una settimana con la mia famiglia. L'appartamento si trova a due passi dal centro e da ristoranti, taverne e dalla spiaggia. E' silenzioso e pulito. La sig.ra e' stata gentile e cordiale fornendoci tutte le informazioni necessarie. Lo consiglio a coloro che cercano la vicinanza al centro ma anche la tranquillità'. Bellissimo il panorama.
My husband and I have been fortunate enough to travel the world (prior to children!!) and have never felt compelled to write a review before!! This stunning country and lovely apartment, however can not be left without mention.
My husband and 2 children who are 5 and 6 years old have just returned from the most amazing 2 weeks staying at Irinis House. I had reservations before going with 2 young children and the outside space being limited, however there was no need to have worried as the beach is literally on your doorstep. The space was amazing for a family of 4 with plenty of room in the large lounge and a fully equipped kitchen, far superior to most in Greece. The bedrooms were roomy with plenty of light, if not a little warm in the evenings (the twin bedroom is much cooler!!).
I defy anyone to tire of the amazing view from the balcony watching the never ending beautiful boats anchoring in the beautiful bay of Megali Ammos. There is a bus stop (No 4) just at the top of a short hill, which takes you easily, if not a little packed, around the island to some beautiful beaches and down into the harbour if little legs are tired after a days playing and swimming.
If you are concerned there is not a swimming pool the hotel just at the top of the hill will let you use theres as long as you buy a drink (5 min walk) or as we preferred the Tennis club on the opposite side of town (25 min walk or bus to harbour) is fantastic with excellent food, friendly staff and always a sun bed available.
We were very sad to be leaving and will definitely be returning, hopefully next year.
The Jones family
We have just returned from the most amazing holiday at Irini's House. Firstly, Nataly is lovely as are the Irini's who live on the ground floor and keep the courtyard pristine. Nataly arranged for us to be collected from the airport and included some essential items to get us started. We could not resist unpacking and walking the 20 paces to the beach into the sea, what more could you want when you arrive at your holiday home. Secondly, the apartment is large, airy and bright (not to mention spotless) with quiet and efficient air conditioning. There are balconies to 3 sides of the apartment including one with the stunning view of Megali Ammos Bay. The view from the desk sure beats the view from our office! There are a hundred DVD's and two huge comfy sofa's, add a bottle of wine and you are set for a quiet night in when the partying tires you out. The excitement of the Town is 10 minutes walk, but it is lovely to return to the quiet of Irini's House for a good night's sleep.
The only down side was having to leave after two weeks, however Nataly arranged for us to be delivered to the airport in style and everyone came to say goodbye – for now! Can't wait to go back.
This fully equipped and well appointed apartment is in a great location for visiting Skiathos town and the beaches. All the comforts of home and wonderful opportunity to feel like you've adopted a new home, so much better than a hotel. We're finding it hard to leave here after what feels like a too short month, could easily stay the entire season if obligations at home would allow it. Nataly is a wonderful host and all the Irinis family are very friendly and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be staying here again.
Irinis House, Skiathos
Review submitted: October 2012
Date of Stay: June 2011
Previous reviews give a very accurate account of all that is good about Irinis House and this review just serves to reinforce all the positives. There were no negatives.
Sitting out on the balcony taking in the view was certainly a highlight and is the ideal way to relax after a day at the beach or sight-seeing.
The apartment was spacious, bright and well decorated. The furniture; beds, sofas, dining chairs & table etc., were modern and excellent condition throughout and the cooking & washing facilities in the apartment were more than adequate.
The apartment was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay.
The air-conditioning worked well. This may seem a minor point to some but we have stayed in apartments, hotels and even a villa, were sadly this was not the case (the air-con was either inadequate or too noisy) that it is ranks as a measureable for us.
Nataly and her family could not have been more welcoming and helpful. As many have said before they are just downstairs but never intrude.
Although we have been to Skaithos many times Nataly was able to recommend some excellent tavernas we had not been to before and also helped arrange the hire of a car.
The apartment's very close proximity to Megali Ammos beach is excellent for enjoying a day at the beach while having the choice to lunch at one of the nearby tavernas or return to the apartment.
It takes a couple of minutes to walk uphill (but not too steep) to the Acropolis area of the town and thereafter a good number of quality bars, restaurants/tavernas and shops.
From a purely personal stand-point I feel the best endorsement that can be given to somewhere is to go their again. That is precisely what we are going to do. We enjoyed our holiday at Irinis House so much in 2011 that we have booked to go back there in 2013
Recommended for: Age 35+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
Great apartment, very tastefully decorated, clean & well maintained. The owners of the property live downstairs so are always there if you need them but are in no way intrusive. The views from the balcony are excellent and the arpartment is literally steps away from the beach. Ideally located for Skiathos Town and the airport is also close by. Overall a very enjoyable holiday and look forward to returning.

Hello everyone, just updated APK File Manager to version 0.5.8.
With this version I worked a little bit on the Screenshot window.
Added a new feature to rotate the image, because I've come across some images that are not rotated correctly on the Market.
Also I've added the capability to create thumbnails from the screenshot, so the screenshot window now opens faster.
That's all for now, tell me about any suggestion or errors you encounter!

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: Top 3 Unexpected Surprises
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is a stylish and modern new age Crossover that's packed with the latest and newest technology. But what's is it like to live with the new Hyundai Santa Fe? We spend a week driving and getting to know most vehicles that we review and sometimes we discover some unexpected surprises. Here are the top three unexpected surprises of the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport that includes a very interesting new smartphone app.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport AWD on & off-road Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T AWD is a modern Crossover that most people will never race or take off-road. But will all-wheel-drive and a turbo-charged 2.0 Liter engine the 2013 Santa Fe should not only be fast but should also be able to take on some off-road work. In this fun review we decide to find out just how well the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe drives off-road and how fast it will go from 0-60 @ a mile above sea level.
2013 KIA Sportage SX vs Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 0-60 MPH Mashup Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 KIA Sportage SX and the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport have a lot in common. They are both 5 passenger Crossovers. They both have automatic transmissions. They both can have all-wheel-drive. They both offer an outstanding value for your money. They both are made by the same parent company and perhaps most importantly they both share basically the same turbo charged 2.0L engine. So of course we wanted to know which one is faster from 0-60 MPH at a mile above sea level. In another fun and interesting TFLcar Mashup review we put both of these Korean twins to the test to see which one is the sporty car of the two new crossovers.

Location Services - Galaxy S4 Mini - only GPS option is available - How to enable others?
I am using Galaxy S4 Mini.
Android Version: 4.4.2
Device Model: GI-I9192
Baseband Version: I9192DDUCNG3
Unable to choose wifi or network as 'Location Source'. Whenever Location Service is switched on, it automatically enables GPS and does not give any other option. Unable to find any option in Settings > More > Location > Location Sources also.
I want to use "network" or "wi-fi" as my location source as there are lot of GPS holes like buildings, transmission lines, etc. Also it drains the battery.
How to enable the location source options "wi-fi" or "network" in my mobile.

Re: Location Services - Galaxy S4 Mini - only GPS option is available - How to enable others?
Welcome to Android Central! Is there a setting in Location Services for Device Only, High Accuracy, or Battery Saving? That's the current terminology used by KitKat. Device Only uses GPS alone, High Accuracy uses GPS/wi-fi/mobile data, and Battery Saving uses wi-fi/mobile data alone.
