II. Why is Windows Insecure ?
Why is Windows Insecure ? * Windows is a target because it predominates -- This explains why Windows is subject to attacks, not why it succumbs to them * Any other OS would have the same problems subject to the same attacks -- Not true! OSs are as different as programming languages. They have different design goals, philosophies,etc Some are more secure than Windows, others are less secure.
Why is Windows Insecure ? To simply say that Windows is insecure is wrong. The problem is that Windows security is inadequate for its role as the untrained publics primary-- -- PC operating system -- for Internet access Windows security is just fine for many other purposes.
Windows User Groups Dont Work for the Internet Number of Infections Win 2000 SP4Win XP SP2 User10 Power User1916 Administrator1916 Tests by EWeek, 11/28/05. Power User suffers the same penetration as Administrator Windows rights management does not adequately address Internet access
Technologies for OS Security ? Wheres the sandbox ? Wheres VM (virtualization technologies) ? What about user rights management ? Ring privileges that work for the requirements ? A system of id groups that make sense! ? Special Browser State run level ? Locks and keys ? Other security techniques Oops!
The Goals Shifted on Them Easy-to-use OS Integrated stack with LAN- controlled networking Early to mid 1990sTodays requirements Secure OS with always-on Internet connection, browser-based communications But Microsoft is Smart… Why Would they Design an Insecure Operating System? They got to 50MM LOC before the problem became apparent !
But Microsoft is Smart… Why Would they Design an Insecure Operating System? -- Microsoft chose ease of use and integration over security * This is how they won the suite wars (vs. Wordperfect, Lotus) -- The integrated stack yielded their desktop monopoly -- by locking out competing products -- Gates did not understand the importance of the Internet until it was too late and they had 50MM lines of legacy code -- Bill Gates The Road Ahead (1995) had 2 pages on Internet! (It was quickly yanked from shelves and quietly replaced with a re-written version with longer Internet coverage) -- When the Internet really took off, we were surprised… --Bill Gates, Preface to the 2nd Edition 1996
The Solution ? --- Try to Retrofit Security Insecure Operating System Its all a retrofit ! the BoxOut of From M icrosoft----- System Restore, System File Checker, Signature Verification, Registry Checker, Trusted web sites, require post-install reboots, Windows OneCare Live, Win. Client Protection FOSS---- Virus Scanners, Trojan, RAT, Rootkit, Keystroke logger detection, Spyware Scanners, Real-time Email Scanning, Bi-directional Firewalls, Browser Protection, Module Replacement Protection
What About Vista ? -- Trustworthy Computing announced Jan. 2002 -- Microsofts promise to fix security in every prior release ================================================== + Vista brings incremental improvements... again ? Sandbox for IE ? Better user rights management ? Drive encryption ? More secure Registry Speculative -- Im not a Vista tester, Vista not yet finalized
III. FOSS to Secure Windows
User Behavior is the Single Most Important Factor Determining Whether You Get Infected * System Restore checkpoint prior to any install * For older PCs-- Registry Backup & Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) * Full malware scans after any install * Make & keep generational backups * Set high-security Browser settings (or dont use IE) -- Avoid: -- Free screensavers, wallpaper, games -- Porno sites -- Hacker sites -- Music- and file- sharing software -- Browser modifiers (BHOs, Toolbars, Extensions) + Visit only reputable web sites + Selectively open email (an Outlook preview equals an open) + Selectively install programs + Keep real-time protection ON (firewalls, malware scanners, browser protectors) Careful! I didnt know!

IV. Microsoft Alternatives
#1 -- Replace MS Client Stack with FOSS Operating System Development Tools Languages Office Suite Security Add-ons Email Many are available FireFox, Mozilla, Opera Thunderbird, Evolution Open Office, others Perl, Python, Rexx, PHP, Tcl/Tk, others Eclipse, Java Linux, BSD, others Browser PC Stack
#2 -- Replace MS Server Stack with FOSS Operating System Development Tools Web Server Languages Many available, few needed! FireFox, Mozilla, Opera JBoss, Tomcat Apache MySQL, PostgreSQL Perl, Python, Rexx, PHP, Tcl/Tk, others Eclipse, Java Linux, BSD, others Application Server Databases Languages Server Stack Browser Security Add-ons
#3 -- Open Windows Operating System Eliminates key vulnerabilities -- -- Internet Explorer -- Outlook -- Outlook Express -- Office Windows All free and open source software FOSS + Windows
#3 -- Open Windows MySQL FOSS + Windows JBoss OpenOffice SugarCRM 40% 50% 68% 35% Percent of FOSS products running on Windows Source-- Computerworld 7/31/06 pg. 14
Why Keep Windows ? -- You dont know any better -- Most consumers -- It ships with the machine -- You buy it whether you want it or not -- Because everybody else does (and compatibility) -- Example #1-- As a contractor, I use what client uses #2-- My backup for this presentation is in Powerpoint #3-- Microsoft controls file formats & file systems #4-- WINE emulator for Linux doesnt run all applications -- You need an app -- Example -- ATT/Yahoo DSL only supports Windows Im only happy when it rains… ?
#4 -- WINE #5 -- ReactOS Linux, BSD, or Unix FOSS + ? Wine - FOSS implementation of Windows API Windows applications Wine - Emulator ReactOS - FOSS version of Windows ReactOS - OS that is binary-compatible w/ Windows (apps & drivers) Windows applications 3K apps (many games) Alpha code
IV. Concluding Thoughts
We have an Internet Security Crisis -- Malware is geometrically increasing -- Infestation is huge -- Script kiddies ==> professional criminals -- Identity theft is huge -- Fastest growing crime for past 5 years -- Pew & Gartner studies show public is scared Lets dance while Rome burns ! Our online financial system is at risk !
Is the Internet Broken ? The Internet is Broken by Talbot & Clark MIT Technology Review Dec 2005/Jan 2006 issue at www.techreview.com -- They recommend locking down the Internet -- A comprehensive system of controls => End points handle security, not transport => The problem is Windows security, not Internet security ! => Controlling the Internet means disastrous side effects !
Trustworthy Computing ? From Microsofts Trustworthy Computing Web Site--- REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 6, 2006 -- As Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft reaches the four- year mark, a look back at 2005 provides a solid picture of sure and steady progress toward long-term success... Launched in January 2002... Trustworthy Computing is a long-term, collaborative effort to create and deliver safe, private and reliable computing experiences. Trustworthy Computing encompasses four key areas of focus that Microsoft considers vital to building a foundation of trust in computing: Security means helping to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer systems and data. Privacy entails protecting a customers right to be left alone (e.g., from any kind of unwanted communication, including spam and pop ups), as well as ensuring adherence to fair information principles that put people in control of how their data is accessed and used. Reliability refers to ensuring that software and systems are dependable and behave the way customers expect them to. Business practices addresses Microsofts goal of being transparent and responsive in all customer interaction, with a focus on excellence in the companys internal decision-making and implementation processes. --http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2006/feb06/02-08Trustworthy.mspx
Why the Twelve Principles ? 1974 Microsoft is born with a lie -- Gates & Allen lie about having completed BASIC for MITS Altair 1995 Consent Decree 1998 Gates testifies he knows nothing about how his company is run. Judge Boies laughs... 2001 Microsoft is convicted as a Monopolist and for violating 1995 Consent Decree 2001 Nov DOJ settles light penalties on Microsoft immediately after 9/11 2002 Jan Microsoft announces its Trusted Computing Initiative 2004 EU Agreement 2006 EU Fines Microsoft for violating 2004 EU Agreement 2006 30 years in business, Microsoft announces its business practices in 12 Principles
Microsoft Versus the Internet -- Microsofts interests diverge from having an healthy Internet -- Policies to Eliminate piracy and force Planned obsolescence mean millions of -- -- Unpatched & unsupported Windows systems -- Bots -- Spam servers -- etc -- Mono-culture with an insecure Internet OS
Possible Outcomes #1 Vistas incremental improvements will be enough forthe world to stay with Windows … 4+ years into Trustworthy Computing, Microsoft has not solved the problem But everyone bought into previous Microsoft solutions in earlier Windows releases #2 FOSS replaces Windows in response to Microsofts failure Like Apache took off in response to IISs virus crisis 3 years ago Protecting Microsofts OS monopoly could result in a web meltdown
Predictions for Next Few Years * Controlled Internet can only happen if it has political support * Upcoming Elections determine this * Bush Continuation candidate means maybe yes * Any other candidate means definite no Unless the outside chance of a severe security incident occurs (example-- Rootkit requires many re-installs) -- Most will buy into Vista, so Microsoft maintains its monopoly *FOSS continues gains but can not dislodge Windows + Microsoft monopoly erodes: (1) Microsofts Annual Report cites FOSS threat (2) Microsoft investing elsewhere (3) Need only to achieve the tipping point Baby Future In USA Long Term
Predictions for Next Few Years + Microsoft monopoly is presently eroding: (1) Less of a Microsoft monopoly to start with (2) Courts reject the monopoly (3) Governmental leadership (4) Cost pressures Baby Future Outside USA Most products in this presentation are from the EU.
Benefits to FOSS + No cost + No license tracking or inventory issues + No forced upgrade or planned obsolescence + No WPA, WGA, Registry, MS spyware, other control mechanisms + No BSA / Microsoft compliance campaigns + Stop divergence of OS providers interest, and the internets interests + Fix the mis-named Internet security problem! Cost is the least of these benefits !

The Authority of Sunnah Part II Prepared by: Sheikh Mohammed-Umer Esmail (based on the dictations of Shaikh Muhammad Taqi Uthmani)
Aims and Objectives The two types of revelation Explicit Quranic proof that the Hadith is also a type of revelation Further proofs Summary
Two Kinds of Revelation And it is not possible for a human being that Allâh should speak to him, except by revelation, or from behind a curtain or that He should send a messenger and reveal by His leave what He wills. (42:51) And he (the Prophet) does not speak out of his own desire. It is not but a revelation revealed (to him). (53:3-4)
There are two types of revelation: the revelation of the Qurân, named in Islamic terminology as al-wahy al-matlu (the recited revelation, i.e. the revelation which can be recited in the prayers). the revelation received by the Holy Prophet from time to time to let him know the pleasure of Allâh in day-to-day affairs and the details of the principles laid down in the Holy Qurân with their correct interpretation. This kind of revelation is called al-wahy ghair al-matlu (the unrecited revelation). It has been demonstrated through the sayings and acts of the Holy Prophet This second kind of revelation is not part of the Holy Qurân, but the Holy Qurân not only refers to it frequently but attributes its contents to Allâh Almighty. Some verses of the Holy Book are reproduced below which clearly prove that the revelation is not confined to the Holy Qurân, but there is another kind of wahy which does not form part of the Holy Book, yet it is the revelation from Allâh Almighty:
Hadith also Revealed by Allah And recall the favor of Allah upon you and the book (Quran) and Hikmah (Hadith) that He has revealed to you to instruct you with. (2: ) واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم وما أنزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به And Allâh has revealed upon you the Book and the wisdom, and has taught you what you did not know and the grace of Allâh upon you has been great. (4:113)
The Second Kind of Revelation Proven by the Holy Qurân And We did not appoint the Qiblah on which you were earlier, but so that We may know who follows the Messenger as distinct from those who turn back on their heels. (2:143) For 17 months the Muslims had been facing Baytul Maqdis in prayer after reaching Madina before it was changed to Kabah The non believers used to object as to why the Kabah wasnt appointed as Qiblah and the reply is given Appointment of the previous Qiblah has been attributed to Allâh Almighty whereas nowhere is this mentioned in the Quran This order was given to Muslims by the Holy Prophet with no reference to any verse of the Holy Qurân. Still, this order was mentioned by the Holy Qurân in the above quoted verse as the order of Allâh. This evidently proves that the previous order given by the Holy Prophet was based on a revelation which did not form part of the Book. And this is exactly the unrecited revelation
Allâh has certainly helped you at Badr while you were weak. So, fear Allâh so that you may be grateful. When you (O Prophet) were saying to the believers, Shall it not suffice you that your Lord shall aid you with three thousand angels being sent down? Why not? If you observe patience and fear Allâh and they come to you in this their heat, your Lord shall aid you with five thousand angels having distinct marks? And Allâh did not make it but a good news for you so that your hearts might be satisfied. And there is no help except from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (3:123-126)
The underlined sentence of these verses attributes the good news of the aid of angels to Allâh Almighty, There is no verse in the Quran revealed during the battle of Badr that implies the good news of the aid of the angels. What is quoted above is only a reference of that news, made at the time of Uhud, and it is expressly mentioned in this verse that the good news was given by the Holy Prophet. Still, the news is attributed to Allâh. Thus, it is another example where the words of the Prophet are held to be the words of Allâh. There is no reason for this expression other than that the words of the Prophet were inspired by a special revelation, not contained in the Holy Qurân, and this is what is called the unrecited revelation.
And when Allâh promised you that one of the two groups shall be for you. (8:7) One of the two parties referred to in this verse was the commercial caravan of Abu Sufyan coming from Syria, and the other group was the army of the Makkan disbelievers led by Abu Jahl. The above verse says that Allâh had promised the believers that they would triumph over one of these two groups. The Muslims, in fact, won the battle against the latter i.e. the army of Abu Jahl. The promise of Allâh to give the Muslims victory over any of the two groups is not there in the Holy Qurân. This promise was conveyed to the Muslims by the Holy Prophet without any reference to any verse of the Holy Qurân. Still, the verse quoted above attributes the promise to Allâh and not to the Holy Prophet. The only conclusion derivable from this is that the promise was received by the Holy Prophet through an unrecited revelation. Hence it is attributed to Allâh. Guided by this revelation, the Holy Prophet conveyed the promise to his companions. Thus, it is another proof of the existence of a kind of revelation which is not contained in the Holy Qurân and is called the unrecited revelation.
And when the Prophet told one of his wives about a matter secretly; then, when she told about it, and Allâh had disclosed it to him, he made known some part of it, and turned aside from some part; then, when he told her about it, she said, Who told you this? He said, I was told by the All- Knowing, the All-Aware. (66: 3) Once the Holy Prophet told a secret to one of his wives. She disclosed the secret to some other person. When the Holy Prophet ( ) came to know that the secret has been disclosed by his wife, he sought an explanation from her. She asked him as to who told him about the disclosure. The Holy Prophet replied that he was informed about it by Allâh Almighty. Allâh told the Holy Prophet about the disclosure of the secret. This is not mentioned anywhere in the Holy Qurân. So, it is another concrete example where the Holy Prophet received some revelation from Allâh other than the one contained in the Holy Qurân. This is exactly the unrecited revelation.
Take due care of all the prayers and the middle prayer; and stand before Allâh in total devotion. But if you are in fear, then (pray) on foot or riding, but when you are in peace, then recite the name of Allâh in the way He taught you. (2:238-239) The verse confirms that there are more than one prayers, but the exact number of prayers has not been given the Qurân. The number of obligatory prayers being five is only mentioned by the Holy Prophet. The Qurân, by saying Take due care of all the prayers, confirms what the Holy Prophet prescribed for the Muslims. The verse lays special emphasis on the Middle Prayer, but does not define it. The definition has been left to the Holy Prophet. when you are in peace, then recite the name of Allâh in the way He taught you. means to perform the prayer as the context does not permit any other meaning. you in the way He taught you confirms that the method of prayer in peace has been taught by Allah, but nowhere is it in the Quran Prophet taught how to perform it. But the Holy Qurân holds the teaching of the Holy Prophet to be the teaching of Allâh because it was based on the unrecited revelation.
Those remaining behind will say when you set forth after the spoils to acquire them, Let us follow you,- desiring to change the words of Allâh. Say, You shall not follow us; so Allâh has said earlier. (48:15) The verse indicates that there was a previous word of Allâh barring the participation of the hypocrites in the battle of Khaybar, and confining the battle to the participants of Hudaibiyyah. But no such word exists anywhere in the Holy Qurân. It was only a prophetic order. Still, Allâh Almighty describes it as His Own word. The Prophetic order was based on the order of Allâh received by him through unrecited revelation which is not found in the Holy Qurân. Yet, it was a revelation, as certain as any word of Allâh.
It is made lawful for you, in the nights of fasts, to have sexual intercourse with your women. They are a cover for you, and you are a cover for them. Allâh knew that you were betraying yourselves; so, He relented towards you and pardoned you. So, now you can have sexual intimacy with them, and seek what Allâh has destined for you, and eat and drink until the white thread of the dawn becomes distinct from the black thread; then complete the fasts up to the night. (2:187)
The verse confirms that having intercourse during the nights of Ramadan was not lawful before. The people who had intercourse during the nights of Ramadan before this verse was revealed are admonished by describing their act as betraying themselves. so He relented towards you and pardoned you, indicate that their act was a sin, because relenting and pardoning occur only after a person commits a sin. The words so now you can have sexual intimacy with them denote that it is only now that intercourse during the nights of Ramadan has been made lawful. All these points confirm the fact that the earlier prohibition of having intercourse during the nights of Ramadan was validly made by a competent authority, and the Muslims were bound to abide by it. But there is no verse in the Holy Qurân to convey this prohibition.. It was enforced only by the Holy Prophet. Still, the Holy Qurân not only confirms it, but also treats it as if it were in its own words. It is due to the fact that the Holy Prophet did not enforce this prohibition by his own will, it was rather based on a revelation of Allâh Almighty which is not contained in the Holy Qurân. this verse on the one hand proves that there is a revelation which does not form part of the Holy Qurân, and on the other hand it reaffirms the status of the Holy Prophet as a law-maker, and that his injunctions, both orders and prohibitions, are binding on the Muslims.
And Allâh has revealed upon you the Book and the wisdom, and has taught you what you did not know and the grace of Allâh upon you has been great. (4:113) The revelation of the Wisdom has been mentioned as separate from the revelation of the Book. It indicates that the wisdom referred to here is something additional to the Holy Qurân, and it has also been revealed to the Holy Prophet by Allâh Almighty. And (Allâh) has taught you what you did not know. means that Allâh has not only revealed the Book, but has also revealed the Wisdom, and also taught the Holy Prophet what he did not know before. This teaching includes all kinds of directions given by Him to His prophet, either through the Holy Book or through unrecited revelation in the light of which the Holy Prophet performed his functions as a messenger of Allâh.
Move not your tongue with it in order to hasten it. It is on Us to gather it (in your heart) and to recite it. So, when We read it, follow its reading. Then it is on Us to explain it. (75:16-19) Allâh Almighty has promised to explain the verses of the Holy Qurân. It is evident that this explanation is something separate from the Holy Qurân itself. It is its explanation or its exegesis. Therefore, it should necessarily be in some other form, distinct from the words of the Holy Book. this is exactly what is meant by the unrecited revelation. But the two kinds of revelation, though different in their form, are both revealed to the Holy Prophet ; both are from Allâh; and both are to be believed and obeyed by the Muslims.
And it is not possible for a human being that Allâh should speak to him, except by way of revelation or from behind a curtain, or that He should send a messenger and he reveals by His leave what He wills. (42:51) out of these three modes, the revelation of the Holy Qurân was carried out through the third one, through a messenger. It is clearly settled by another verse (2:97) that the messenger was Jibril but the verse (42:51) quoted above describes that there are two more ways of revelation. by way of revelation as in the case of the Prophet and is termed as unrecited revelation from behind a curtain as in the case of Musa.
SUMMARY The function of the Holy Prophet like other prophets is not only to convey the divine Book. He is also to teach the Book, to teach the wisdom and to make people pure by training them practically. The Obedience of the Holy Prophet is as necessary as the obedience of Allâh; because the latter has always been mentioned in the Holy Qurân combined with the former. The obedience of the Holy Prophet in practical is the obedience of Allâh; and the latter cannot be carried out except through the former. The Muslims are bound not only to obey the Holy Prophet but they are also under an obligation to follow him practically. Whatever the Holy Prophet says or does in his capacity of a Messenger is always based on, or confirmed by, a revelation from Allâh. This revelation is sometimes contained in the Holy Qurân and called the recited revelation, and sometimes it is sent down in addition to the Holy Qurân, and is termed as unrecited revelation.

Truth in Lending
What is the Truth in Lending Act?
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA),was passed by Congress originally in 1968. It provides a uniform manner of calculating and presenting the terms of consumer loans to enable you to compare costs so you can make informed choices about credit. Prior to TILA there were no generally required definitions of loan terms so that consumers were unable compare interest rates and other loan costs. Scams and fraud were pervasive.
Representing Yourself in Small Claims Court
What is Small Claims Court?
Small Claims Court is a special proceeding designed to resolve disputes involving suits for money damages of $1.00 to $7,500 with less formality than a regular court proceeding. It is held within local Justice Courts and is presided over by a Justice of the Peace (JP). It is designed to be used without hiring a lawyer. The law governing Small Claims Courts is located at NRS, Chapter 73 and Justice Courts Rules of Civil Procedure (JCRCP) 88 -100.

Blanket For Baby...
We will be welcoming a new member to our family very soon. In a little less than a month, I will be a Nana and have a beautiful little grandson.
I can't wait.
Here is the first of many blankets I have made for him.
And because this year will be full of blessings, I am going to be changing my traditional {hugs} for...
10 comments:
Love the colours and the chevron pattern. Do you have instructions for making this or a pattern? I have a little boy due in April and these are the colours I'm decorating his nursery in.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Nana! Maybe some day I'll be too :) The blanket is adorable!
All the best!
Have a fabulous week!
Hugs and love from Portugal,

How lovely! I'm having a grandson in May! Could you tell the color names you used? I love the combination. I'm using Lion Brand's Organic Cotton (which I understand they no longer make)for a smallish carseat blanket. Do you know if the cotton yarns shrink significantly?
Thank you. I'm a new follower and am sharing your post with friends!

Studio Theatre 3-Play Package: Cock, Grounded and Carrie: The Musical
Our Price
Full Price
See three of this season's plays from the company the Washingtonian calls "the hottest theater on the Washington scene." This package from Studio Theatre gets you admission to three plays from their 2013-2014 season. The provocatively titled current hit Cock blows up the standard love triangle format with a new twist. John's boyfriend is ready to forgive, forget and get back together, but John thinks he might have just met the woman of his dreams. Grounded, presented in association with Gate Theatre of London, is a gripping solo show that explores the screened-in, greyed-out, hyped-up world of remote warfare. When a fighter pilot's unexpected pregnancy grounds her, she's reassigned to fly drones from a trailer outside Vegas. Finally, there's Carrie: The Musical, a contemporary rock musical based on Stephen King's haunting story of teen angst, religious fervor and the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter.
* Additional fees apply. No coupon or promo codes necessary to enjoy the displayed discount price.

Be Who God Wants You to Be
Introduction Most children have dreams of being great or doing something noble (pro athlete, movie or rock star, doctor, nurse, teacher). Parents may have unfulfilled dreams that they want their children to pursue. The world, people from school or work may put pressure on you to be rich, be popular, drink alcohol, do drugs, and don't be outspoken about what the Bible says. But what about what God wants you to be?
Introduction You have a right to pursue a career or job based upon your talents, abilities, and opportunities as long as it doesn't violate the Scriptures. But what is our main purpose on earth? God has created us in His image and He has a right to tell us what to do. God wants mankind to "fear Him and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man" (Eccl. 12:13).
Be who God wants you to Be… in the Use of Your Time We have likely wasted a lot of time giving place to the devil and not putting God's word first in our heart as Jesus did. (Eph. 2:1-3; Matt. 4:3-11) Thankfully, God in His mercy and love had a plan for us to be forgiven of our sins and fulfilled it at the right time through His Son's precious blood. (Eph. 2:4-7; Gal. 4:4-5; Rom. 5:6-9; 1 Cor. 6:9-11)
Be who God wants you to Be… in the Use of Your Time We must make the best use of our time to know God's will because the days are evil (Eph. 5:15-17; 2 Tim. 2:15). Since the days are swiftly passing towards eternity, we must prioritize and put God's will first above our desires (Ecc. 9:9; Ps. 90:10; Lk. 9:23; Mt. 6:33) Are you punctual in your life and fulfilling your responsibilities to God?
Be who God wants you to Be… in Your Attitude We are told to have the attitude of Christ who was humble and obedient (Phil. 2:5-8). We should be grateful instead of grumbling so that we can shine forth as lights in the world (1 Th. 5:18; Phil. 2:14-15). When people don't give thanks or honor God, He gives them over to sinful choices and its consequences (Rom. 1:21-32). God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5).
Be who God wants you to Be… in the Use of Your Money God demands that we be good stewards of the wealth He has given us (Luke 16:1-14). Too many are in debt so that they can't fulfill their responsibility to provide for their house, give on the first day of the week to support the Lord's work, or help the needy. (1 Ti. 5:8; 1 Co. 16:2; Ep. 4:28; Ga. 6:10) "The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives". (Ps. 37:21)
Be who God wants you to Be… in Your Worship By coming today, you are reminded that God is faithful in keeping His promises so that we can hold fast to our faith & encourage each other to love & good works (Heb. 10:23-24). God forbid that we should become bored so that we forsake assembling together with the saints. (Heb. 10:25) When we truly realize what Christ's sacrifice means to us, we will remember His death reverently, sing joyfully, give cheerfully, pray earnestly, and examine the Scriptures with readiness to receive it!
Be who God wants you to Be… in His Service Because of God's mercies toward us, it is reasonable to offer our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice to Him (Rom. 12:1). We should serve Him daily by being evangelistic, hospitable, charitable, etc. (2 Tim. 2:24-26; Rom. 12:13; 1 Jn. 3:16-18) Let us sanctify ourselves so that we can be useful in His service, prepared for every good work He would have us to do (Eccl. 12:13).
Be who God wants you to Be… in Your Family Relationships If you are married, remember to keep your vows to your spouse and fulfill your responsibilities before God (Eph. 5:22-34). Too many have failed and the result has been destructive to children and the cause of Christ! Parents, praise your children when they do right but correct them when they err with God's word as your guide (Eph. 6:4; Heb. 12:11). You must love your family but if there is a conflict over a matter of the faith, Christ must come first (Matt. 10:34-37).
Conclusion We all likely had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up when we were young and if God wasn't in our plans then it was vain. Are you being who God wants you to be in your life or are you aimless? Have you wasted many precious years serving yourself, if so, it is not too late to come home to the Lord and obey the gospel (2 Cor. 6:2). Are you being who God wants you to be having a humble attitude like Christ or are you constantly complaining?
Conclusion Are you being who God wants you to be by being a good steward of your finances or are you a slave to your borrowing institution? Are you being who God wants you to be in having a joyful attitude towards worship or are you bored with it? Are you being who God wants you to be in His service or do you serve yourself? Are you being who God wants you in your family relationships or have you forgotten your vows? If you have failed in any or all of these areas, as a Christian, you can repent and receive forgiveness of sins and begin to "Be Who God Wants You to Be"!

Scything today is undergoing a rennaissance. Local authorities, stately homes, allotmenteers and home gardeners are increasingly using the lightweight Austrian scythe as a zero-carbon alternative to managing weeds and grass. Scythes are even being used to cut lawns!
The number of people teaching scything is growing in number. You can find details about these on our courses page. Some hardy souls are even involved in the cut-throat (not literally) world of competitive scything. Watch the brilliant video below for a profile of two of the best, Phil Batten and Simon Damant.

Here's a thread for sharing the full dev projects for apps that are:
- published at App World,
- frequently downloaded and fairly well-liked by the users
In case there's anyone just starting out learning how to develop apps for BB OS when it's nearly extinct, here's your chance to save some time by pilfering source code from apps that we don't mind sharing with you.
Here's my initial contribution -- I'm sure everyone's just dying to know what memory apps really do -- so here's the source code for 5 of the 6 apps that make up the package "Memory Monster":
Build once with JDE 5 and it works on anything with OS 5, 6, or 7.
No known bugs or issues.
Pre-built runnable copies (jad, cod) are included, so you can test the apps without having to build them first.

Thanks for this, great idea too, share some stuff to make sure it easy for people coming up.
Just wondered if it would have been easier to just attach the zip archive to this Thread. If you wanted to do that but can't for whatever reason, I'm happy to - saves developers having to download the app from App World.
Edit: Attached
Tried. Spent half an hour on it. System wouldn't accept the file, kept saying the content type doesn't match the extension. Tried renaming it, system wouldn't be outsmarted. Created with pkzip, then WinZip... no dice.
Here's a link to the file on my server: MeMonster-source.zip
If someone graphically talented wanted to create a 'spin' with some eye candy you might get as rich as a few people I could mention.

Some are bizarre: the theory that culture, ritual and religion developed as a by-product of concealed ovulation, synchronised menstruation and the resulting sexual mystification of men fascinates Kohn, though not, I think, to the point where he entirely believes in it. But all the accounts have one feature in common which casts an odd light on the relations between religion and science. They all, one way or another, propose that that a religious imagination may have been necessary for us to become human.
This is not an argument from classification. It doesn't say we were not human before we were religious, or artistic: on the contrary, it says we were religious before we were human, and without the emotions necessary for ritual and art we would never have developed fully human intelligence. It is bound up with an argument about the costs and benefits of language, and the role of communications in animal life, which is subtle, and profoundly pessimistic.
Communication, in one influential theory, originated by Richard Dawkins and John Krebs, is essentially to be understood as an effort by an animal to manipulate its fellows. But if the point of your communication is to get me to do what you want, then what's in it for me? The central problem of language, from a socio-biological point of view, is not why the capacity to speak it evolved, but how we got the capacity to understand it, when it is so often advantageous to other people to tell us lies.
The answer is that language must have been built on pre-existing mechanisms of trust. It's worthwhile for an animal to trust another if lying would be just as expensive as telling the truth. And of course, this calculus persists into our modern lives: journalists are supposed to ask themselves at every turn "Why is this lying bastard lying to me?" and to accept the truth of a statement only if the speaker gains nothing by deceiving us. But at this point the argument takes a sharp twist. For we do not in fact go through life asking all the time why everyone is lying to us. The emotional strain of treating everyone like a salesman is just too great, except for a few psychopaths and novelists.
We are adapted, then, to trust people, or at least not to distrust all of them all of the time. If this were not the case, and we did not have an emotional predisposition to trust people, language, and so human intelligence, could never have developed. But, since it is the basic principle of sociobiology that emotions are by and large adaptive, it follows that our ancestors must have been largely trustworthy, and have peopled their imaginations with trustworthy beings.
The trick to these deductions is rather like reading an insurance policy. Insurance companies are really just very successful bookies, who only offer bets which they will, if they take enough of them, be bound to win. So if someone is willing to insure you for something at less than ruinous odds, you can be fairly certain it won't happen. There are no guarantees, of course. But in the long run, the insurance company will always win. Similarly, if there are deep-lying patterns of emotion and behaviour in humans, we can be sure that though they will sometimes lead to great error, they will usually pay off. We find it agreeable to believe each other because we find it agreeable to tell the truth.
But if you accept this view of our emotions as fundamental to our intellectual development it follows that we are inescapably animals who put an emotional cast on the world. We may not see it through rose-tinted spectacles, but we certainly see it organised and given form by emotion. This I take to be the fundamental attitude from which all religious experiences and belief systems spring: that the world means something; that it has a natural emotional charge. That, in turn, is why it makes sense to speak of some forms of atheism as religious, because they seem to see the meaning of the world in the non-existence of God.
Nor is there any reason to suppose mankind will grow out if this. If you look back at the high doctrines of progressive atheism current in the Twenties and Thirties - perhaps the best example would be Olaf Stapledon's majestic science fiction novel Last and First Men, what has dated is the hope, now easily identifiable as religious, that we would grow out of our stupid religions. And it's hard to see how any sociobiologist could ever expect the religious emotions to fade away. If emotions are, just like insurance policies, a container of statistical knowledge about the way the world works, then we could not lose our tendency to project them on the world without losing all our higher faculties.
Of course, emotions don't feel like abstract statistical knowledge at all. To see how they can work like that, it's worth while reading the book to discover how the urge to show off when chipping a flint axe may have been one of the really essential things that made our ancestors human and show, by twisting routes led to a world which people change by chipping larger, more elaborate theories.

Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst
Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst
"Having worked at biotech start ups on other science parks, the SBC does offer something quite different in the way it supports small companies to plan their business strategy and the opportunity to meet a wide investor base. The flexible solutions of lab/office and access to shared facilities also keeps the costs low and allows you to invest in people rather than costly equipment".
Dr Amrik Basran, CSO, Avacta LifesciencesThe site is located close to Junction 7 of the A1 (M) between the motorway and the Stevenage to London rail line.
With a unique focus on open innovation, Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst was created to bring academia, biotech and pharma companies together to drive advances in healthcare research moreeffectively. This vision was embraced and jointly funded (£38Mn) by BIS, GSK, Wellcome Trust and Innovate UK (formerly TSB).
The Bioscience Catalyst opened in 2012 and is co-located with GlaxoSmithKline's UK R&D facility and provides both Incubator and Accelerator spaces, totalling c.5,500 sq m of laboratory, office and networking space. In late 2014 the Cell Therapy Catapult announced it had chosen to deliver a cutting edge Cell Therapy Manufacturing Centre within the Bioscience Catalyst campus. This £55mn investment will provide a facility for Bioscience businesses to manufacture late stage trial and commercial advanced therapeutic medicinal products.
This new 'incubator plus' model, characterized by co-location with large Pharma and access to an unrivalled range of expertise and technical services, is focused on high-quality, IP-based tenants.
Businesses on the site:
Sectors represented:
- Therapeutics
- Diagnostics/Devices
- Manufacturing/Technology
- Big data/analytics
- Support/consultancy
Life Science workspace type:
Main workspace types include:
The Incubator Building – Ideally suited to start-up biotech companies, this 4,750 sq m building is split between office space(40 per cent) and laboratories (60 per cent). Includes hot desks andvirtual office facilities.
The Accelerator Building Providing four, 100 sq m of working space for up to 150 people, the building is split between laboratories (60 per cent) and office space (40 per cent).
Community Lab – flexible workspace for new ventures, on-site tenants as well as off-site companies to access. It has a range of basic equipment that can be accessed within the Community zone as well as more sophisticated equipment that can be rented by the hour.
Cell Therapy Manufacturing Centre – facilities for businesses seeking to manufacture products at the later trial stages and for commercialisation. Space will be flexible with users renting appropriate space and facilities on licence to meet their needs.
Growth Capacity:
With long-term plans to expand the campus by five fold from the first phase to the third phase, Phase 2 of the SBC will provide space for current tenants as they grow as well as space for new tenants.
It is expected the 25 acre Campus will ultimately accommodate 1,500 employees.
Other amenities:
- The HUB – Conference and Meetings facilities
- Access to GSK lecture theatre
- Shared technical facilities
- Communal area with access to chemistry services and equipment
- Access to electronic journals
- Fitness suite
- Access to GSK Restaurant /Café/Nucleus
- Free shuttle bus from station to site
Institutional presence:
The University of Cambridge has located a number of translational drug discovery projects to its SBC laboratories
The University College London has located translational research projects and spin-outs
MRC Technology, a technology transfer organisation
The BIA, Johnson & Johnson Innovation Centre and Lilly have partnering desks at SBC.

At this point in the season, the big gifts have already been decided. And if you're on your game, they're boxed, wrapped, and under the tree.

If you or someone on your list is a maker, DIYer, woodworker, tinkerer, or just a general creative type who likes to build and fix things, here's our list of quality stocking stuffers that are just as good as whatever's in that huge box with the bow on it.

How to: The Simple, Easy Trick to Instantly Improve Your Hot Toddy
I have gone on record, in this publication and elsewhere, about why the hot toddy is the perfect cocktail to be sipping in December. It's warm. It's spiced. And at least according to folk wisdom, it's good for your health, and can help to heal a nasty wintertime sore throat. But, to be honest, until last Tuesday evening, I didn't actually like a hot toddy.
They were fine, but not delicious, and not really an improvement over a simple glass of neat whiskey. (You could make a hot toddy with rum, brandy, or tequila, but why would you?)
Hot toddys (toddies?) always disappointed: never quite hot enough to truly enjoy, and somewhat ... harsh. There was something I never liked about adding acidic lemon juice to a healthy glug of bourbon, then heating the whole thing up. It seemed to bring out all the rough, grain-y flavors, and hide the tastier warm and spicy barrel-aged notes that make whiskey, well, whiskey.

Holiday How-to: Make DIY Wooden Gift Tags from Scrap...in Under 15 Minutes
Giving gifts? It's the best, right? Not cheap plastic things, and certainly not gift cards. But thoughtful custom - and most of the time handmade gifts - that I know someone will enjoy for years to come. Take a look at our list of 50 gifts for men here, and gifts for women here.
Of course, the gift has to be wrapped in something special as well. So, why would I want to use lame paper gift tags from the discount store after all that work? Here is a simple project to make some name tags that are as thoughtful as the gift.

It's Just So Much Better: Why You Should Be Drinking Homemade Egg Nog This Season
Ahh... egg nog, you creamy holiday treat.

Is this the Craziest Find at a Street Market... Ever?
I am such a sucker for antique stores, obscure markets, and garage sales. I love pouring old and odd things -- the weirder, the better. I've bought pocket-sized trinkets all over America, many of which neither I nor the store clerk was able to figure out what they were. But this one really beats them all...

The Connoisseur's Guide to Making S'mores - Perfected
I love s'mores. I hate getting sticky.* Which I mention only to point out how much I truly love s'mores since they nearly always get your hands/face/everything sticky. It's the perfect smoky and sweet desert to finish off any night's worth of camping and hiking or simply sitting around the campfire with friends. But here's a suggestion that takes the s'mores game to a whole new level...

Seriously...This the Single Best Gift You Can Give to any DIYer, Maker, or Woodworker This Holiday
There are lots of ways to give gifts for the holidays. You can give in a way that simply checks a person off the list; acknowledges that it's expected and therefore here's your Amazon giftcard... (Not recommended.) You can can give gifts that are elaborate, expensive, and make everything that also helped create that pile or wrapping paper look negligible. (Also not recommended.) Or you can source something that person didn't know existed, and legitimately surprise them. (Solid.) You could give them something you know they want, but wouldn't spend the money on for themselves. (Nice one.) Or, for many a practical-minded recipient, you can

Tackling a New Project Doesn't Have to Be Intimidating
This post is sponsored by DIYZ
The story goes like this: I'll wake up early...usually on a Saturday, or perhaps the Monday of a three day weekend. I'll pull on my work jeans — not the trashed, paint-splattered ones; just the wornout pair with the ever growing hole in the right knee I need to patch. I'll tie my workboots, and grab a few quick measurements before I head out the door. I always remember to put the tape measure in my pocket to take it with me. Today is project day.
And I'll get to the home improvement store, and I'll wander the aisles, and I'll realize: I have no idea what I'm doing. I need more information, more measurements, more details. So, I'll desperately look up something on my phone, but the reception in the back of this huge concrete box isn't good enough. Plus, all those content farms have tricked the search engines so that the quality of information that comes up is poor, and so generic that I struggle to trust it.
Plus, maybe I have the basic materials figured out, but what tools do I need? Do I have the right screws, or are all mine too short or have the wrong head type? And - for goodness sakes - do I need another pack of #2 Phillips driver bits? (Thankfully, that one is easy. Yes. The answer is always yes. )

From Intro Geo to GIS: Barbara Tewksbury Hamilton College firstname.lastname@example.com Examples from Creative Faculty Across the Country for Teaching Undergraduate Geoscience Courses Using Planetary Data
Why incorporate planetary data? New (exciting! exotic!) examples Student learning improves when students are engaged/hooked Practice observation and data analysis skills in new planetary environment Students learn best when they apply what they know to analyze/synthesize/interpret, rather than just learn about a topic.
Why incorporate planetary data? Reflect on their own planet What is different? How much of a difference do the conditions of our own planetary experiment make? Students learn more when they reflect on what they know Leaps in understanding of their own planet
Wealth of available data Difficult to imagine an undergraduate geoscience course for which relevant extraterrestrial data are not available and easily accessible
The challenge Coming up with a good idea Finding the data Developing the assignment/activity Strategies Adapt/adopt Design your own
Adapt or adopt Doesn't reinvent the wheel! Bug colleagues Use On the Cutting Edge web resources serc.carleton.ed u/NAGTWorkshops
Aspects in common All of the activities described here: Go beyond teaching students about planets Involve students in more than knowledge acquisition Have students do geology using planetary data Promotes learning and "Ah-ha" insights
From an intro geo course Audeliz Matias, Empire State Coll. Teaching relative age interpretation
From a geomorph course Devon Burr, University of Tennessee Interp. of drainage patterns on Titan
From an intro course Tracy Gregg, University at Buffalo Landing site selection, Mars; 3 teams
From a GIS course Brian Hynek, Univ. of Colorado Landing site selection; ArcMap
From a hydro course Arwen Vidal, U. of Colorado ArcGIS ArcHydro Tools
From an intro geo course Eric Grosfils, Pomona College What if Amboy Crater had erupted on the Moon? Mars?
From a seds/geomorph course Devon Burr, University of Tennessee Analysis of flow regime in Athabasca V.
From a structural geology course Moi; estimating regional extension in Ceraunius Fossae
Other examples Geochem/petrology: Mars or Moon spectroscopic data to determine mineralogy (Laurel Goodell & T.C. Onstott, Princeton) Global change course: analyze matter/energy cycles on Mars (Eric Pyle, JMU) Teaching geologic mapping using Venus Magellan SAR data (Vicki Hansen, UMN, Duluth)
Designing your own Need an idea? Mine the literature. Helps in locating data GSA Today article on pit crater chains on Mars (Ferrill et al., 2004) Hogan (MS&T): structural geo course – normal faults on a planet other than Earth Tewks: intro course – origin of depressions in Libyan Desert north of Tazerbo well field.
Designing your own Primary strategy – what are you trying to accomplish? Hook/engagement Personal application, analysis, and problem-solving Reflection on significance Focus beyond teaching them about the planets.
Developing your own Online resources at On the Cutting Edge serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops Effective teaching strategies focused on student learning, not just information transfer Assessment strategies to figure out whether what you did worked to improve student learning Course design strategies for accomplishing course goals through effective assignments Submit your own activities!

apple and cream cheese turnovers
By larry A
1cup chopped apples
3oz unsweetened apple juice frozen concentrate , undiluted (1/3 cup)
1/4tsp ground cinnamon
1pinch ground nutmeg
1/4cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1/4oz cream cheese
4phyllo pastry dough sheet , thawed
1cooking spray
1/2cup graham cracker crumbs , divided
1/2tsp ground cinnamon
Heat apples, apple juice concentrate, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a pot over medium-high heat until it boils.
Lower heat, place lid on pot, and simmer 5 minutes until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Let mixture cool to room temperature.
Using an electric mixer, beat Splenda and cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in egg.
Gently fold apple mixture into cream cheese, cover, and reserve.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Lay one sheet of phyllo on a large flat surface, with the remaining sheets covered so they do not dry out.
Coat phyllo with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with 2 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs. Do the same to each sheet of phyllo.
Slice each phyllo sheet into 6 squares. Spoon 1 teaspoon of apple mixture onto each square.
Fold each square on the diagonal to cover apple mixture, forming triangles. Pinch the edges. Arrange on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle each apple triangle with cinnamon. Bake 10 minutes. Let cool.

Sounds great!

We traveled to York to the Lancaster chapter of the CFA sponsored cat show. There didn't seem to be as many participants as the last time, and fewer breeds were represented. I am shopping for a kitten.
The view as you walk in the door.
Here's a lovely little Himalayan kitten.
My search for a new kitten ended well. After looking over all the available breeds, I decided on a Manx. They are the tailless cats from the Isle of Man off the coast of England. They are cute, round, sturdy cats, with open friendly faces.
Yesterday Kami and I went to the 50% off sale at the PA Fabric Outlet. I got two really nice pieces of fabric. (they are magnified to show detail) LOL! You know, like on the box of packaged food how nice and big the portion looks, and then when you open it, the serving is about half the size of the picture! I burn tested them to make sure they were telling the truth about the fiber content.
This jacket fabric is 100% silk and only cost $3.50 per yard on sale!
This shirt fabric is 100% linen and it was less than $5 per yard. It is a very fine light weight linen that will make a nice tailored shirt.
After two busy days of traveling around, I think a quiet evening reading on the porch is in order.
