American Idol
Anyway. I'm just saying I don't know much about American Idol, but I do know that they frequently have a "year you were born" night (thank you, Wikipedia!). It's kind of sad to see how young these people are (do you realize that people born in 1991 can buy tobacco now?! Although I think it's 1990 in Utah. But I digress.). It makes me feel old. But the real fun comes in when you think about what song you would do.
I was born way back in '81, when the hair was high and interest rates were higher. Once again, we turn to Wikipedia, which is an excellent resource for finding a list of all the albums released the year you were born, but not as the sole source for important scholarly research. While it would be cool to do something like Billy Joel's "You're My Home," that doesn't win ballgames. Or singing contests. So I've narrowed it down to REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You" or--and this is what I'm leaning to--Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." Thanks to Rock Band 2, all the kids know that song, as do the slightly older Idol fans from the first time it was popular. It's the perfect setup. Now all I have to do is go on American Idol.
What would you sing from the year you were born?
Also, seriously considering pesto chicken pizza for dinner.

Wow... 1978 had many good songs, but if I'm trying to appeal to today's voting crowd, I'd probably go with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are." They may not know it, but the lyrics are so tender, it will appeal to anyone. There is one verse that seems to be speaking more towards a woman, but they don't get to sing the whole song anyway, so I'd just skip that verse.ReplyDelete
It was a tough choice, though. "Baker Street," "Baby Come Back," "If I Can't Have You," "Because the Night," "FM" by Steely Dan which would mean nothing to the audience, "Copacabana,".... Lots of songs I love, lots of familiar songs, but not songs that would win a competition!
I think the kids might know "Baker Street" because of the Foo Fighters. Although I don't know if kids even know the Foo Fighters these days. All I know is that I used to know every song on "Now that's what I call music" albums, and now I'm lucky if I've heard of the artist.ReplyDelete
Boy, that's the truth. My students will talk about something from pop culture and I'll have to ask, "Is that a person? a band? a song?" It's the circle of life.ReplyDelete
This may be cheesy but I would do "I Need To Be In Love" by The Carpenters because Karen is an alto and I can usually reach all the notes in her songs.ReplyDelete

Grizzly Bear | Yellowstone National Park
This Grizzly Bear was photographed on Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone National Park. This bear was photographed late in the fall season just before it went into hibernation and the heavy snow come to the high country of Yellowstone. It's late March and early April when the Grizzly Bears are coming out of their long winter sleep.

I've got the following code running, deliberately without having an SD card in the slot, but the catch statement never seems to execute. Am I being stupid?
I see

"No Entry" sign for photos in My Business listing in Google Search[ Edited ]
December 2015 - last edited December 2015
I've had this problem for a while and I've exhausted my Google-fu abilities searching for a solution to this problem (found threads with this issue spanning for the last several years).
What the problem is:
Several photos in our company's My Business listing show a "No Entry" sign:
What I've tried:
Picasa webalbums - shows NO photos
Picasa desktop version - also pulls NO photos
Google Photos - shows no photos except the ones I specifically uploaded later into a separate album and are not used for the business account (they are duplicates though - don't let that confuse you)
The no-entry photos DO NOT show up on any screen that I can delete them from
It seems these images are part of a Scrapbook album but that album is not visible from anywhere except a certain popup from the edit screen but it does not show the problematic images in there.
I don't seem to be able to remove photos from the edit interior photos section of the My Business profile (clicking on a photo just redirects to the front-end photos tab of the Google+ profile)
Tried every type of image popup I could find to find a delete option for these photos. Even tried to "hack" it by trying to replace the photo ID in the url of photos that I can delete and try to delete that.
Album of screenshots showing the issue, no delete links, no scrapbook album being visible/editable etc.:
The whole photo management seems entirely broken with functionality thrown around into several separate services and several entirely different ways to view and manage them with no logical reason for them to be that way.

Hi @Atanas A
These 'no entry' signs are what remain after photos have been deleted. Normally they should be wiped from the servers within a couple of days, but there have been a few posts recently saying they're hanging around for weeks / months.
I recommend contacting Google+ support via one of the options at support.google.com/business/contactflow and asking them to remove the ghost photos if possible.
Was my response helpful? If yes, please mark it as the 'Best Answer.' Learn how here.

Yeah, I'm a geek, but I'm dedicated...
It has been pissing down rain for about 3 days, now.
Cold rain, cold wind. Miserable riding weather.
Right now, it's +55F! I'm tempted to get the
wood stove going....
I gotta admit, I was letting this bad weather cramp my style.
Today---no way around it: I had to ride and I
just couldn't face 2-3 hours of slogging around in
the cold and wet.
I got a DVD from the local library, "Hell on Wheels"
which was a pretty illuminating view of the Tour de France.
I think it was shot in 2003....up front and personal with the
German cycling team....lotsa interview time with Eric Zabel
(sigh!) and some time with Alexandre Vinokourov, of 2007
Tour doping fame.
Neat thing: I can get my HR up to 165 and still read
English subtitles!
That was my afternoon....
Cycling with this video and thinking about my Century+
ride coming up in just over a week.
I am getting really stressed out about it.
The weather and my persistant stomach aches/pains
are screwing up my training schedule. Thinking that
my body issues were dietary, I've cut out alchohol
entirely. One week without a glass of wine with dinner!
There's dedication for you...
But seriously, I am worried about my preparedness.
I am worried about the weather.
I know I can do the miles....I just can't have this
mystery abdominal pain jack the whole event for me.
When I was on my 77 mile ride, the phantom pain struck and
I found a nice piece of wet plywood by the side of the road
to have a little lie down on for 5 minutes. That seems
to be the only thing that helps (the lying down, not the plywood.)
On the 40 miler with Fromage the other day, I tried different ride
food; instead of a power bar (lotsa sugar) I took along some beef
jerky and cashews. Amazingly, a few handfuls of nuts made the
side ache go away for awhile.....or was it just the resting for a minute?
I HATE not having health insurance.
I HATE the fear of the expense keeping me from just seeing a
doctor about all this.....
Like I said, stressing out a little....

You ARE a bike geek Eero, but you go girl! :)
Sorry to hear you feel like your body's letting you down there (ooo I soo know that feeling, and I don't bicycle!)but the snack thing: you could be right, I'm sure protein is much better for oxygenating your blood rather than sugar.
Thanks for your comment on my blog the other day just by the way, I'm glad you could relate :)
- Jules said...
Dang girl... your dedication is impressive!! I have been known to do the indoor bike thing occasionally - but ONLY when it's at least 40 below out and NEVER with subtitles! My guess is the more technical term for your blown fuses is simply overtraining. Don't stress it - whatever training you do now won't make you any stronger before your century (it takes a couple weeks to see benefits of any specific training). so rest lots - enjoy the rain, and eat lots of protein in the last week. I'm just a short timer these days but I'll ride 20 or 30 miles with you on wednesday. I'll make a plan with you on Monday. Relax!
- Tim said...
Nice use of the phone books for a front wheel block!
- Eero said...
Thanks for noticing!
Actually, it's the phone book and a "Hiking Alaska" book...the Fbx directory isn't quite thick enough...
- ms. pea said...
the temperature here is exactly double the temperature there. i'm not going for any bike rides, either. so maybe you should just suck it up and go to the doctor... does your town/county have a public clinic?
- bike&beer said...
hey e., fromage probably told you that already, but abdominal cramps can come from lack of salt, and also irregular breathing... i never eat power bars, i stick with string cheese and salted nuts. a bagel with cream cheese halfway through the century. bananas with peanut butter is the sweetest i allow myself. other people don't have problems with sugar, but i do, and i find that my stomach does much better with the salty stuff. which also helps with not drinking gatorade - it ruins my whole ride with terrible stomach pain. so hang in there and you'll do fine on the century - but remember to listen to your body. if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. stop and re-evaluate. good luck!
ps. has the package arrived?
- Eero said...
You are exactly right on the food! Sugar ruins me---very hypoglycemic. I'm eating jerky and nuts on rides now---much better.
Jules is right too---overtraining. I've been taking it easy and feeling much better.
Got the package!
It was like Christmas!
B&B---you and I are EXACTLY the same size. I LOVE this gear.
How can I thank you?
Want some AK'n salmon? Moose?
- bugheart said...
i am so
with the
taught me
not to
eat powerbars...
i like
cheese and nuts
much better
- andy said...
found your link on www.fatcyclist.com
i hope you feel better soon. it's no fun being sidelined during prime riding season.
have you thought of ulcers? or something like that? have you taken OTC prilosec? your symptoms sound like what i had....searing gut pain. the prilosec really helped. as did increasing the amount of water i drank, reduced caffeine, and got more sleep.
also, i'd really watch relying on nuts and cheese during workouts. while they may be far tastier than a powerbar, the reason you need to eat during a workout is because you need fuel. and cheese and nuts don't have anywhere near the amount of fuel you need to replenish during any sort of lenghty workout.
i'd try these as an alternative to power/clif/luna/etc. bars: http://www.matisseandjacks.com/
they're bake-at-home energy bars that are just amazingly good!
anyhow....good luck with the tummy!

Jim Skwak's artworks are initially overwhelming (in a fun way). Packed with bright, odd characters that he calls his 'maniacs' - plus a huge number of objects, vehicles and scenery - each is an intense experience that reveals its meaning slowly as you spend time on each of the details.
Jim has produced illustrations for the likes of Microsoft, McDonalds and his co-owned clothing line Sneakymob - which we'll feature later in this story - but he's just released some new personal artworks.
His latest piece, The Story of Man And Power, sees the French artist looking at the actions that have put men into power. It features achievements - both good and bad - from the early days of Man right to the present day, where a Donald Trump-like figure is chasing the Statue of Liberty. This symbol of the US seems more focussed on chasing a Pokeball than what the Trumpling is doing.
The key to Jim's aesthetic - as with doodle artists like Jon Burgerman - is that each of the elements is distinct. While they sprawl and loop around each other, they never overlap to create an unreadable mess. The use of colour and size - with the characters larger than the other elements - also guide your eye to areas to begin looking at the picture, so you're rarely lost in it.
This work is called I Only Have Dreams That Keep Me From Seeing The Future.
A sports-themed repeating pattern Jim created for his Sneakymob label.
Jim drew this work on the window at a barber's shop, created using Posca pens.
Work for McDonalds.
Jim created this design for a Studio Series Artist Edition of Microsoft's Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500.
Proving that Jim can tone things down if needed, he created the designs for this 2014 campaign for Beaujolais Nouveau wine.

Oct. 21 cyberattack: rehearsal for US Election?
A cyberattack on Oct. 21 used millions of internet-connected devices to flood the infrastructure of one of the biggest internet routing companies in the US with malicious traffic until it crashed. The attack started on the East Coast but soon spread westward in three waves during the day.
Cyber experts suspect that this unprecedented assault, on a massive scale that points to a state hacker - whether Russia, China or North Korea – may have been staged as a rehearsal for the main show, the disruption of America's Nov. 8 elections.
There is increasing concern that voters in the 31 states, where civilians and American troops overseas may cast their ballots by Internet, will find their websites disabled by hackers. Around one million US voters would be affected, a critical figure in a tight presidential race between the Democratic and Republican contenders that could create mayhem for American democracy.
It seems that unlike previous distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, the hackers succeeded in wielding a novel weapon, which is the "next big thing" in malware, known in tech parlance as the "Internet of Things" (IOT). Not only are computers connected to websites directly attacked, but millions of internet-connected devices smart home gadgets, like cameras, baby monitors, remote garage openers, smart refrigerators, DVDs are infected without their owners' knowledge with software that exposes them to be used by hackers to swamp the victims with overwhelming traffic.

Since these internet-connected devices are easy to use and relatively cheap, little attention was given to information security when they are developed. For some time, cyber experts have been warning of the potential for major cyber damage from IOT.
The Internet networks in the eastern US were almost completely shut down on Friday morning (local time) when one of the biggest domain name system providers, the Dyn DNS Company, was struck down.
Dyn reported that starting at 7:10am, its DNS servers came under a DDoS attack, which floods servers with huge amounts of malicious traffic. Users reported problems that sporadically shut down several websites, including Twitter, Netflix, Spotify, Airbnb, Reddit, Etsy, SoundCloud and The New York Times.
The first wave lasted about 90 minutes.
The second wave, which started two hours later, knocked out many West Coast internet sites offline.
debkafile's cyber defense and intelligence sources report that investigators are looking into two possible causes of the Oct. 21 onslaught.
One was named by US Vice President Joe Biden, who promised during an Oct. 14 interview with NBC, after Democratic Party emails were hacked, that Washington's response to Russian cyberattacks "will be at a time of our choosing, and under the circumstances that will have the greatest impact."
Rather than waiting for the blow to fall, it is possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to send a clear warning to Washington not to start a cyber war with Moscow.
Another possible culprit may be a company seeking revenge for its public denunciation by a Dyn Company leader for developing advanced means and methods for carrying out DDoS attacks.

The problem that many voters have with Donald Trump is not that he doesn't always tell the truth.
It's that he is so resistant to admitting fault or error that he contradicts himself in ways that prevent you from knowing fact from fiction.
It's infuriating – and thus far in his life, it's been an effective tool for befuddling his enemies.
Take something simple like does Trump know Vladimir Putin or does he not? Several times in the primary election season, he regaled debate audiences with details of his purported relationship with the Russian dictator.
He said he was in Russia for a Miss Universe pageant and Putin "was very nice" and sent him (Trump) a gift.
If you listened closely, he never actually said he and Putin were in the same room together – just that Putin made a fuss over him. On another occasion, he said he and Putin were together alone in a "green room" waiting to appear on the same public affairs show.
Did they bond? In an initial telling of the story, they had a great time in each other's company. In a later recounting, it's not at all clear that being in the same room meant they talked to each other.
Since the General Election campaign began, he has denied any relationship with Putin.
By the third and final debate, the denials of a relationship with Putin became adamant as he faced continuing pressure to denounce Putin and voice agreement with the conclusion by the U.S. government intelligence community that Russia (read that as Putin) was behind the hacking of Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton e-mails.
At least one mainstream news organization (Newsweek) has reported that the Trump campaign had distributed a doctored version of Clinton campaign emails that were originally posted by a Kremlin news website and later erased from the Internet when it was pointed out by the Newsweek reporter that material in the internet post attributed to a Clinton campaign advisor was actually a direct quote from a story he wrote this summer.
Were Russian sources feeding stuff to the Trump campaign? Would Trump agree that it looked like the Russians were meddling in domestic affairs in the United States?
In the second debate, Trump went so far in his efforts to debunk a Russian connection that he speculated that the hack was conducted by some 400-pound American lounging in his bed.
So whether Trump does or does not have a relationship with Putin is of material concern.
Especially because Trump at one point this summer off-handedly encouraged the Russians to hack Clinton's computers and then, by gum, they did.
Coupled with another Trump trait now generally recognized by the news media is his habit of projecting bad behavior attributed to him to others. He doesn't have a problem with facts, it's "lying Hillary."
He doesn't skirt the law, it's "crooked Hillary." He doesn't abuse women; you're mistaking him for Bill Clinton. He doesn't incite violence on the part of his supporters, that's another plot by Hillary's team.
Following this pattern, what are we to make of Trump's new mantra, the "election is rigged."
Who is rigging?
The Obama government?
An unholy cabal between Democratic and Republican leaders? The mainstream media?
The Clintons?
International bankers?
If you apply the Trump approach to shifting blame away from himself, he would rig the election if he could.
Where would he turn to for help? He's already noted that the Russians have the best hackers.
Some would say the whole train of thought is absurd – but this has been an absurd election cycle filled with outrages and excesses. It's the responsibility of a candidate for President to be clear and direct. Fuzzy rhetoric is the enemy of an honest election.
As the election season marches to its grim conclusion, it seems to include echoes of old movie plots like the original "Manchurian Candidate," the 1952 black and white version starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, not the recent remake with Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.
In the movie based on a Richard Condon spy thriller, Laurence Harvey is a prisoner of war held behind the Iron Curtain and brainwashed.
He comes back from the Korean War a Medal of Honor winner and is eventually running for Vice President – but has recurring concerns about flashbacks and memories.
I don't want to spoil the ending for those who might want to watch the movie some night on cable, but it doesn't turn out well for Harvey's character who was programmed by his captors to respond to a singular stimulus and commit a dastardly act.
Now what political figure do we know of today who admits to spending time in Russia but who can't seem to get his facts straight about what actually happened there?
Nah, no way Donald Trump is a Manchurian Candidate.
After all, he was never in the armed services and there no indication he even knows how to fire an AR-15.
Maybe he's something less exciting ... say, a Siberian Candidate.

The presidential vote won't be rigged, but it may well be rocked–and not just by Donald Trump's repeated threat to dispute the results if he loses.
The Republican challenger has already benefitted from foreign hacking, persuasively attributed to Russia, of the private, and often embarrassing, emails of Hillary Clinton's staff and the Democratic National Committee. Now, say numerous cyber analysts, Russian hackers have the ability, and perhaps motivation, to infiltrate the nation's voting booths and deliver a stunning blow to Americans' already wobbling belief in the integrity of the electoral process.
"You only need to mess it up a little bit, and as soon as people don't have faith in it, the whole system can start to crumble," says Ryan Duff, a former U.S. Air Force cyber tactician now working on information security in the private realm. "You don't even need to sway it one way. You just have to make people think it could happen."
What could also undermine voters' faith in the system: Friday's massive attack on servers that denied customers' access to some of the world's biggest Web sites, including Twitter, Reddit, Netflix, Amazon, Airbnb, the New York Times and others. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said officials couldn't yet provide "any information about who may be responsible for this malicious activity."
Elections officials worried that Friday's attacks could suppress voter turnout, especially in swing states. Barbara Simons, the co-author of Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count? and a member of the board of advisers to the Election Assistance Commission, told the New York Times that the hack was "a strong argument for why we should not allow voters to send their voted ballots over the internet."

An increasing number of Americans are already disposed to thinking the election could be rigged, according to a mid-August poll by the Gallup organization. Only 62 percent of Americans "are confident that votes will be accurately cast and counted in the coming election," Gallup said. The figure represented a falloff of between 11 and 13 percent since Barack Obama was first elected, when Republicans began pounding the fraud theme. The GOP's propaganda campaign—baseless, in the view of independent analysts—gave Russian hackers an opportunity to further exploit voters' doubts with surreptitious "influence operations."
"The risk is not so much the hacking of the voting machines themselves, (which have decent if not great checks), but rather going after the broader climate that surrounds an election," says Peter Singer, a strategist at the New America think tank and author of Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century. The larger goal is "to sow doubt and disarray," he tellsNewsweek. "Indeed," he adds, even if the Kremlin hasn't had a hand in some of the hacks, it can further its goals by using "social media outlets and RT [Russia Today, another arm of Kremlin propaganda] to spread false information and claims about it happening." Voters might conclude, "Ah, this happened in this one county in Ohio, so the results are wrong" everywhere, he says. "This is where Trump's 'rigged' talk is so utterly dangerous, and where it also fits in exactly with the Putin playbook."
To most observers, the Kremlin's evident pilfering of Democratic files has had only one immediate beneficiary—Donald Trump (and before him, Bernie Sanders). In the likely case that Russian hackers have penetrated the Trump camp's private communications as easily as they evidently did the Democrats', a number of possibilities exist. Among them: either they've not made them available yet to Wikileaks or other outlets, or they're holding them in reserve, in the unlikely event Trump is elected.
In mid-October, veteran "ethical hacker" Scot Terban posed "three scenarios" on how Russia could throw the elections into chaos: by manipulating voter counts, voter rolls and voting machines.
In the first scenario, "the voting machine have been tampered with electronically or code has been inserted" manually via a thumb drive to produce wildly unexpected outcomes. The result: "Trust in the election system is diminished," Terban wrote. Candidates and the public demand recounts, delaying the outcomes for months and further decimating faith in the reliability of the machines.
In the second scenario, voters show up at the polls and find that their party registration or personal data has been surreptitiously changed. Republicans are listed as Democrats and vice-versa. Addresses are incorrect or missing. They can't vote. "To date there are no systems that I am aware of that will email you when a change is made to your voting status," Terban wrote, asking, "and how many people check before they go to the polls?" Messing with American voters in such a way is not unheard of, he adds. It's "a common tactic that has been used in gerrymandering," or quietly redrawing districts in a way that disqualifies certain voters on election day.
The third scenario for paralyzing the American vote was tested by Russia in Ukraine, Terban wrote, "by inserting malware/code into the election machines in 2014 that effectively "bricked," or shut them down.
"If such an attack code were placed and propagated within the American voting systems," he continued, "the disruption would cause the election to be halted and emergency measures taken," like issuing emergency paper ballots where possible. Facing lengthy delays and long lines, most voters would walk away, he expects. "Trust in the electronic system would be degraded or destroyed."

All these scenarios are guesses (or "thought experiments") he admits. But the Kremlin has demonstrated a propensity for "information war," or informatsionnaya voyna, from the earliest days of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, when it spread false rumors and created phony front groups to keep its adversaries off balance. The practice fell off after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. But Vladimir Putin, a career KGB officer, rejuvenated the effort after an internal review found "deficiencies" in Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia. "We surrendered this terrain some time ago," hewas quoted as saying, "but now we are entering the game again." Soon after, the Kremlin embraced the concept of a new warrior class to wage "a global information war."
"The objective is... certainly, to create centres which would envisage so-called hacker attacks on enemy territory," Igor Panarin, a leading Russian military authority, wrote in 2008, according to the U.K.-based Conflict Studies Center at Oxford University. The object would be to identify "critically important information entities of the enemy, including how to eliminate them physically, and how to conduct electronic warfare, psychological warfare, systemic counter propaganda, and net operations to include hacker training."
Which makes the Kremlin effort no different than Washington's array of cyber warriors who, in concert with Israel's, reportedly disabled Iran's nuclear centrifuges with the now notorious Stuxnet virus in mid-2010. ("There has been no technical attribution, even to this day," Ryan Duff notes.) But no confirmed reports of U.S. cyber-meddling in foreign elections have arisen, despite Putin's claims of American interference in the 2012 Russian presidential election. Long before the internet, however, both the U.S. and Soviet Union covertly interfered in foreign elections around the world to promote their Cold War objectives.
The emphasis here is on covert: the stealthy hands of the CIA and KGB were supposed to stay hidden. But according to both Obama administration officials and independent cyber-sleuths, those who allegedly hacked the DNC and Clinton's staff left electronic droppings that were traced back to Moscow.
On Thursday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper repeated the administration's October 7 statement that "recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process."
Clapper told Defense One that the U.S. had "sufficient evidence, both forensic and otherwise, to reach the conclusion," but refused to specify the names and addresses of Russian perpetrators in the same manner Washington had "named and shamed" Chinese hackers who broke into the Office of Personnel management's files. Critics complain that the evidence is far from concrete, and that hackers using the NSA's own stolen tools might have left tracks to deliberately implicate Moscow. But Clapper was firm. "I don't think I need to say anything more about it, other than the fact the statement speaks for itself," he said. "It was mainly addressed to the American electorate, not to any foreign nation-state."
Meanwhile, U.S. elections, administered by state, county and local officials, have no national security standard to protect against intrusions, leaving many open to manipulation, security analysts complain.
Tyler Cohen Wood, a former Defense Intelligence Agency cyber deputy division chief, calls the lack of unified standards "a national security problem," and proposed that the Department of Homeland Security be given the authority to establish and oversee new federal ones.
In September, Republican Representative Hank Johnson of Georgia introduced a bill that would require DHS to designate voting systems as critical infrastructure and "limit the purchase of any new voting systems" to those that use "durable voter-verified paper ballots." Such legislation has a slim chance of gaining traction, however, given the electorate's anti-Washington mood and complaints about the performance of DHS—which oversees entities such as the much criticized Transportation Security Agency.
A one-system-fits-all national voting system might even make it easier for hackers to throw the whole process into chaos, Wood concedes. "It could, it most certainly could," she tells Newsweek, but at present, "some states are much more vulnerable than others, and standardization could help prevent a compromise."
With only days before the November 8 vote, many officials hear the Russian bear thrashing around in the Internet woods and wonder where and when it will attack again. The Obama administration, meanwhile, has vowed a "proportional" response to previous Russian hacks, raising the prospect of a first world cyber war.
To some, however, this new theater of combat is not much different from the Greeks' deployment of a legendary wooden horse to gain entrance to Troy.
"Nation state and industrial sabotage, political maneuvering, espionage, and counterespionage have existed as long as industry and nation-states have," Lesley Carhart, an influential cyber war specialist, wrote in a mid-October blog post in which several experts weighed in, called "Nation State Threat Attribution."
"It's nothing new," she wrote. "In some ways, it's just gotten easier in the internet era."

THE ISSUE: Russia cannot be ignored. Since the end of the Cold War, Russia has never posed such a vexing problem to U.S. policymakers as it does now. From Eastern Europe to the Middle East and increasingly Asia and the Americas, Russia is making its voice heard and its presence felt.
After a brief period of looking inward during much of President Barack Obama's first term, Russia has returned to the international stage with zeal under Vladimir Putin. Russia is militarily involved in Syria, supports separatists in eastern Ukraine and areas of Georgia and has even been accused of trying to meddle in the U.S. presidential race. At the same time, the Obama administration has been forced to accept that working with Russia is probably the only way to achieve results on many complicated international issues. Thus, Russia was central in the Iran nuclear negotiations and is a player as well as negotiator in the Syria truce effort.
Republican Donald Trump advocates improved relations with Russia — "Wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along with Russia?" has been a standard line in his campaign speeches — and has been strikingly complimentary of Putin's strong leadership style, contrasting it favorably with that of Obama. Some of Trump's current and former top advisers have been criticized for being too close to Putin, and Democrats have accused the businessman of pandering for Russian praise. Trump, however, is not the first politician to champion better U.S. ties with Russia.
In fact, one of Hillary Clinton's first initiatives as secretary of state in 2009 was to "reset" relations with Moscow, an effort that produced decidedly mixed results.
The "reset" policy had some successes while Putin was taking a break from the Russian presidency. On Putin's return, though, the reset began to unwind and Russia started to take positions directly opposed to the U.S., notably in support of President Bashar Assad in Syria and then in Ukraine. Clinton has had direct negotiating experience with Putin and his aides and that has left her wary of cooperating with Moscow. Her campaign says she will "stand up to Vladimir Putin," "deter Russian aggression in Europe" and "increase the costs to Putin for his actions."
Relations between the former Cold War foes — the owners of the most nuclear weapons on Earth — are arguably some of the most important to leaders in both the White House and Kremlin. Animosity or cordial friendship can bring profound changes in international affairs and the next president will have to engage or confront Russia on a variety of matters, not least of which are allegations that Russia was behind the hacks of Democratic emails.
The conflicts in Syria and Eastern Ukraine will not end without Russian buy-in, and Russia will have to be involved in any new effort to bring North Korea back to denuclearization talks. In the meantime, Russia is a driving force behind the co-called BRICS group of nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — that sees itself as a balance to the U.S. superpower and may also present problems for the U.S.

Putin aide can signals thaw in Russia's ties with next US president
Russia is ready to turn a new page with the next US president, one of Vladimir Putin's longest-serving aides has said, signalling some hope that Washington and Moscow can resume a more pragmatic relationship despite the recent spike in tensions between the two powers.
"We are always ready for Realpolitik," Sergei Ivanov, a member of Mr Putin's security council, told the FT. In his first interview to international media since stepping down as presidential chief of staff in August, Mr Ivanov said the Russian leadership had been "insulted" by anti-Russian rhetoric during the US election, but counted on American pragmatism to prevail.
"We are prepared for that. We just have to wait until the end of the election campaign. We have to wait a couple more weeks, we just have to be patient."
Officials in Washington and in Moscow may greet even the limited hopes voiced by Mr Ivanov with scepticism as the crises in Ukraine and Syria have proved intractable. Fears of meddling from Russiain the US presidential election, and a direct stand-off between US and Russian forces in Syria have shattered the little remaining trust between the two governments.
Mr Ivanov's switch from chief of staff to a presidential representative for ecology and transport was seen as the biggest demotion in a series of Kremlin reshuffles and a milestone in replacing old guard members of Mr Putin's inner circle. However, it is believed that the former defence minister and deputy prime minister continues to wield influence.
"Probably the president thinks that my past experience is useful in this work," he said speaking in the Kremlin and referring to his role on the Security Council. Mr Ivanov has just swapped offices with his successor and former deputy Anton Vaino and now works just a few steps away from Mr Putin's other deputy chiefs of staff.
Mr Ivanov dismissed the US government's accusations that the Russian government was behind the Democratic National Committee emails leak, and insisted that unless Washington presented concrete proof, such accusations would be seen as empty statements and "propaganda".
Mr Ivanov said the notion that the Kremlin would prefer to see Donald Trump in the White House was "absolutely not true".
Although Moscow has in recent weeks ratcheted up war rhetoric and issued ever more direct warnings about nuclear war, Mr Ivanov said he hoped this was noise rather than a real threat. Although a former veteran of the KGB like the Russian president and many of his senior aides, Mr Ivanov is seen as less hawkish than some other Russian security officials.
"Especially when we talk about nuclear weapons and speak about the hypothetical possibility of world war three, I believe that everyone is smart enough not to take things to a hot war," he said. "But if we talk about cold war, information war and propaganda war, that is a fact of life. We see that every day."

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
I just finished chatting with former Dentist in the Philippines. She's one of the many friends I am close to. She had put my braces before and I was asking her some advice for my condition because I know she knows my dental history. I was instructed by my new dentist here to have it removed. It's long overdue and it has been a year since I was told. Not a very good patient isn't it. But hey, if you will see the $$ on your dental monthly bills, not hundreds but thousands? Would you be doing the same thing? My husband was willing to do it but I don't. That's just too much. The money I could spend from my surgery expense here will cost me a roundtrip travel to PI with pocket money. Sounds more valuable than spending my tooth extracted where not only I could get pain but much painful for bank account withdrawals. It's not interesting to include this for my trip but there's no other way or time to do it. Much used of money and I could see my family back home. I am excited to see them soon and I am packed. I only need to buy some more stuff to bring and it could be a day or two to have them. I am expecting that on friday, when I leave off from work everything will all be in placed. I will be departing from SFO at 12:05 on the 12th. Excited to be in Hongkong the day after and have 5 days of adventure. Goodnite guys! Until next day.

{Instant Activity with the "Swinxs"}
Things I still want to work on though is more activity. Physical Education should be about physical activity and I want to have as much of that as possible. I noticed in my video I can cut a lot of the talking out; but I have done better with that throughout the labs and it is also something that gets better with time. I have incorporated technology better into my lessons too. Wether it be music, the swinxs, or videos, Lab C and D saw me put technology to use. Thanks to Professor Yang, I have seen myself go through a complete transformation in my teaching abilities. I am more confident, organized, prepared, and knowledgable due to what I have learned in EDU 255! Below are some links where you can watch my lesson and check out some of the analyzing I did for my lesson. I also made a video that shows my growth as a teacher candidate and my ability to make an impact and improve student learning. Enjoy!

Think you've decided on a name? Check out where it ranks on the official list of the most popular baby names first.
Does anyone have/know an Ailbhe?(31 Posts)
We are considering this name for our son. Our other children have Gaelic names too, for family reasons. It's pronounced Al-vey.
Has anyone else known an Ailbhe? Did it prove a tricky name with family and friends? Was it commonly abbreviated to Al? Any feedback welcome - honestly! Thanks
My cousin is Ailbhe but she is a girl, I have never heard it used for a boy.
Heard it many times but only for a girl, beautiful name though.
My cousin is Ailbhe also, but she's a girl. And we pronounce it Al-va.
A quick google reveals that St. Ailbhe was male though. Huh.
Ailbhe is a girl's name! Pronounced Alva. Maybe traditionally male as Theala says but in Ireland only used for girls. Would be the equivalent of calling a boy Sarah or Jane in Ireland. And never abbreviated to Al, as far as I know.
I love the name myself. Are you living in Britain though? I am not going to call my child an Irish name purely because I know so many Irish people who have difficulties in Britain with noone able to spell or pronounce their name.
Wow! Thanks everyone. I'm astounded . Everything we have read indicates it's a boy's name. I appreciate it might cause a boy difficulty on the basis of the feedback above...
I am living in England, and apologise on behalf of those who are maybe a bit too lazy to just ask how names are said: that's all it takes! Gaelic names are beautiful and should be out there . We've certainly had our dramas with people who didn't agree that Gaelic names were a sensible choice; including my Dad and an (ex) GP who said our eldest's name was difficult in phonetic terms and he'd never be able to spell it. So that was nice.
People are always rude about other people's choice of name, for some reason. Think I won't tell anyone the name we choose until the baby is actually here, then they may be less likely to say anything!
Irish names (and Scottish I presume) can be difficult due to different letter combinations for sounds (the -bh-, for example, being pronounced as -v-). I think go ahead and call your child what you want! Everyone else can get over it.
Having said that, so many people I know get so frustrated with people getting their names wrong all the time, e.g. Siobhán being called See-o-ban instead of Shovawn, or Clodagh being pronounced Clo-dag instead of Cloda and you can see why are the spelling really is quite different in Irish. But if you're happy with that, then why not! Are there any other boy names in Irish or Gaelic you've been thinking of?
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
So true, mopsytop, I do agree with you - but might worry about taking him back to Ireland some day! It would only be for a visit, but still...
Ailbhe had really grown on me: this time is my husband's choice, so we may go with it anyway. My husband's other fave is Nuada (which always makes me laugh out loud; I can't say it with a straight face, sorry!) and Cahal. I like Dara and Milo.
Has everyone checked out the bad reactions to baby's names thread (or some similar title)? It's hilarious - as most people have managed to get past their initial anguish and stick two fingers up to anyone else's point of view. Which is just how it should be. Made me LOL anyway!
Thanks Maryz. Ailbe maybe a good alternative. The naming books are confusing - probably because they were written in England...
Oh I really like Cathal. And if it's spelled Cahal, then it won't be mispronounced either. I never heard of Nuada before! How about Ronan? That's an Irish name isn't it? And easy to pronounce.
Haven't looked at the thread, but have had several bad reactions to some names I have suggested so have decided from now on to keep my gob shut! People always know someone of that name they dislike, or else suggest names that I dislike. So it's easier to say nothing I reckon!
p.s. Ailbe might be easier to pronounce as well, with the b sound.
I will think of Ronan Keating, mopsytop! I certainly wouldn't tell any friends about any potential names; I didn't with my previous two (both boys). Don't want to know if they don't like our choice; I don't think it would change our minds anyway, but testing stuff out via mumsnet is great as people so helpful - and knowledgeable. Had no idea about the girl stuff with Ailbhe for instance!
Maryz, I just re-read your post again. Are you a teacher, or did you school in Ireland? If there are any lovely boys names you are willing to share I'd be pleased to hear them. Beginning with A isn't essential, but I'd rather avoid S and C
Oh didn't think of that re: Ronan Keating. Good point!
How about Séamus, Eoin (or Eoghan), Conor, Cian, Liam, Oisín, Cormac, Cillian, Ciarán
Oh you don't want C names, duh! Sorry, loads of Irish boys names begin with C. Hmm what else ... Eamonn, Barra, Diarmuid, Dónal, Tadhg, Lorcan ... can't think of anymore for the minute.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Isn't the name of a sports channel now though, Maryz? I like Dara too. I like all of those names.
Tadhg is the best Irish boy's name.
The one that I know is a girl and she pronounces it Al-be.
Setanta is fantastic! My Dad would laugh, I think!
They are excellent suggestions, but a lot are known to me already in some way. Yes, there is an issue with many of the best beginning with S and C! I'm afraid I have the postman issue going on, and so am trying for different initials (my DH thinks it's sad).
One of my sons is called Cormac, which I just love. I like Oisin (that was on the 'Cormac' list), and the alternative spelling of Daire.
DH's pick really! Will show him this thread later
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
What about Senan or Annraoi? Have fun choosing and congrats on your new baby.
is a LUUUUVERY name
Irish, and I know two male Ailbhes in their thirties, and no female ones. Both pronouce it roughly as 'AL-va', but with a slightly softer final syllable, more 'AL-vuh'. I really like it.
I adore the name Setanta, and the toothsome S. O'hAilpin has done a lot to revive it. For god's sake, though, any of you considering calling a baby 'Dara' or any of its variants, make people realise it's not pronounced 'DAA-ra' with a long first syllable, just plain 'Dara', with the same short emphasis on both syllables. It drives me nuts when Dara O'Briain introduces himself, and then everyone else on Mock the Week apart from Ed Byrne calls him 'DAA-ra'.
There is also the issue of the Irish initial 'D' sound, though - which is soft and more like the 'th' sound at the beginning of 'though' ...
Really HardCheese? That's mad, I'm Irish too and never heard of a male Ailbhe before in my life! You learn something new every day!
The thing that annoys me is pronouncing the surname Moran with the emphasis on the second syllable instead of the first. Grrrrrr.
But I don't think the different phonetic quality of the /d/ is something we can expect British people to know!
Ailbhe can be a boys name too but is mosre popular as a girls name at present

Housing starts in the US rose to an annual rate of 672,000 units in April which is the highest level since October 2008, topping analyst's forecasts for a rise to 650,000 units. This is a gain of +5.8% in April which follows a +5% gain in March. April gains were led by a +10.2% increase in single-family starts, following a +2.1% rise in March. However, the multi-family component fell -18.6% after surging +24.4% in March. The recent spike in home sales has definitely boosted new construction, but according to permits builders remain cautious about a likely dip in sales now that government tax credits for homebuyers have expired. Housing permits, which are leading indicator for homebuilding, declined -11.5% in April following a +5.4% boost in March. April's decline was the most since December 2008, however, the April pace of 606,000 permits was up +15.9% on a year over year basis.
In the Producer Price Index report overall PPI inflation was down slightly to -0.1% after a +0.7% spike in March. The decline was below analyst's estimates for a rise of +0.1%. Declines in energy and food prices helped pull the headline number down. Core PPI registered a +0.2% rise which followed a +0.1% rise in March. Core PPI remains very subdued at these levels and there is no signs of inflation. Add in the fact that the European austerity measures will likely keep economic growth in check and continue to put pressure on lower commodity prices, indicates that the Federal Reserve is likely to keep benchmark interest rates near zero. The question now is whether they will have to deal with a deflationary global economy which is not what the Fed wants.
In earnings news, Wal-Mart beat estimates but offered a weak Q2 estimate of 93 to 98 cents per share. Analysts were expecting a forecast of 98 cents per share. Shares of WMT are up +3%. Home Depot also beat estimates and boosted its forecast for the year after seeing strong demand for gardening products and energy efficient appliances. Shares of HD are off by -2% probably because executives warned that they are seeing no positive comp growth from the construction industry.
Abercrombie & Fitch posted a narrower quarterly loss than estimates as the teen retailer was helped by a double digit sales increase and lower store occupancy costs. Shares of ANF jumped +2% on the news but have since plunged and are down -4%. High-end retailer Saks surged almost +7% in early trading after beating expectations and maintaining forward looking forecasts, but shares are now -2% lower on the day. TJX Companies is down almost -4% after offering weak guidance.
Commodities are mixed with copper gaining +3% after retreating -6% yesterday. Front month crude is about break-even, gold is down -1.35% to 1,211 per ounce, and silver is about break-even. Natural gas off by -0.80%.
International Markets:
Most major markets throughout the world were higher on Monday. Notable gainers in the Asia-Pacific region were China (+1.36%) and Hong Kong (+1.17%). Japan and Australia were relatively flat. All major European markets gained led by Spain (+3.68%), France (+2.08%), Germany (+1.47%), and London (+0.85%).

Chalara dieback of ash
Chalara die back of ash is a serious disease of ash trees caused by a fungus called Chalara fraxinea. The disease causes leaf loss and crown die back in affected trees, often leading to tree death. The disease could potentially devastate the population of Britain's native ash trees. If you have any concerns or suspect a tree may be infected the Forestry Commission have produce a short video which may help you to identify the symptoms.

text: Putrajaya said today it did not possess the data to ascertain the truth behind a report that thousands of government servants were taking loans from "ah long" (loan sharks). Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Ali Hamsa said if such claim were true, he would look into the matter and request help from Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) to shed light on the matter. "This kind of statements cannot be supported by data. "But we view it seriously, we will try and get Cuepacs's help and so on. "If possible, we will undertake a survey to determine if this is really happening," he told reporters at the Malaysian International Trade and Industry headquarters today. Yesterday, Cuepacs president Datuk Azih Muda reportedly said illegal money lenders or "ah long" were operating inside the civil service, with some government staff working part-time as loan-shark agents, making it hard for the government to curb the use of such services. He said some 150,000 civil servants were clients of illegal easy credit schemes. The Malaysian Insider also spoke to some civil servants who had taken loans through such illegal means and determined that this was indeed a widespread trend. Cuepacs said the trend has been ongoing since 2012 and mostly included government officials, military personnel and hospital staff earning under RM3,000 a month. – March 3, 2016. MORE TO COME]]>

A Chinese Sage by Elizabeth Jennings - poetry commentry.
Extracts from this document...
Daniel Atkins 24th April 2003 English A1 SL A CHINESE SAGE ------------------------------ Poetry Commentary Elizabeth Jennings wrote this poem as part of a collection of works written in 1975 in a book called Growing-Points. A sage is a man who is believed to be wise, and having the wisdom of experience.1 This term could also be referred to as an herb, although given the circumstances it seems more likely to be the first option. Interesting how it seems that a sage is a man not a woman, evident in the dictionary and in the poem. The subject of the poem is quite intriguing. A Chinese sage reckons that he has written the perfect piece of poetry, however feels necessary to show it to a woman of hard labour. She reads through it, and does not understand various words. These words could be linked to wealth and freedom, which she has no clue about, therefore the poem's focus was useless. The sage changes the wording, and feels that the woman is wiser, therefore asking her to be his mentor, because he otherwise would have no idea about the life, working class people in China around mid 700's until early 800's would lead. ...read more.
The tone of the poem is very unbalanced. It begins with a sense of "hearsay" storytelling narration, such as been read a fairytale when one was younger. Then suddenly the author adds on line 3, "In private till for him it seemed a poem, yes he took this to a peasant..." By adding this word it seems that the speaker is telling a story to the reader. The addition of this word also shows a sense of mere recollection to what actually happened, in that the speaker attempts to recall, then suddenly remembers. The whole story of the built relationship between the peasant and the sage is very intimate. The sage, who thinks he has it all, is taught a lesson by someone who is less fortunate than he is. It seems ironic in a sense how someone teaches him, an educated man, a lesson in this case the peasant. By doing this, he has widened his understanding to the working class civilisation and their understanding to the nobler folk of the Chinese Empire within the previously mentioned time period. ...read more.
"...Hay, beds, crude meals, lust..." all are visualising the life of the peasant. There is a caesura on line 17, "That she was a world he could only enter through her. Hay, beds..." There is also a slight repetition of the word most on line 21. There is no rhyme scheme what so ever, although there is one rhyme. This is represented on line 14, as Magnanimity and humility and then these two, rhyme with obscurity on line 15. The author's intention or even that of the hidden speaker was to underlie that, although the wise man has had his education, there are always topics that are left out and a lady who hasn't had the chance of education, teaches him these lessons. There is a great usage of commas within the poem. The sentence structure tends to be elongated as the sentences last from line 1-7, 7-17, 17-19, and then 19-23. Why Elizabeth Jennings decided to start off making the lines longer, then shorten them is quite interesting. Maybe it shows the slow (long) understanding progress of the sage towards the peasant, and then as the poem nears completion the sentences are shortened. 1 Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English, A S Hornby, (c)1974 ...read more.

The growing death toll from
Since The Times' Scott Glover and Lisa Girion began highlighting the problem late last year, state lawmakers have responded by trying to plug the information gaps that enable patients and doctors to abuse the system. Those efforts are slowly yielding results, although not to the extent that's needed.
Until now, lawmakers' focus has been on improving a state Justice Department database that collects records from pharmacists and doctors of all the dangerous prescription drugs they dispense, along with a monitoring program that lets doctors check what drugs their patients have already obtained before prescribing new ones. Both efforts have been so cash-starved, however, they're barely functional.
The Legislature is poised to approve a bill by Sen.
In addition to beefing up the database, lawmakers should also require coroners in California to report more information about deaths from prescription drug overdoses to the state medical board, as Sen.

Often we cry out that we need God in times of trouble and strife. Most times believers are grateful for the cross and the blessings received from a gracious God. But there are times when we doubt, times when we lose sight of how big our God truly is at all times. D.A. Carson writes a daily blog about His daily readings from Scripture. This is also a good summary of the characteristics of God the Father. Check out his thoughts on "Our Big God".

My March babies
Reza and Sarah had their birthdays last month. We had dinner at Lemon Garden, Shangri-La to celebrate Reza's 34th birthday and for Sarah's 4th birthday it was lunch at Nyonya Restaurant in SS2. Both birthday babies had a great time. Happy birthday, my darlings.

The musings of an ordinary sort of God-bothering curate and educator from Yorkshire, God's own country. Sometimes I think I am in a parallel universe as I ponder why some Christians seem so wilfully theologically illiterate.
"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." "When I hear people say politics and religion don't mix, I wonder what Bible they are reading." (Archbishop Desmond Tutu)
"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6.8
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4.19
"Work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2.12

Well, here at the knowledge college public exams are on the horizon. I had a Yr 11 class yesterday and we had the usual complaints about having to write things down. I can't begin to say how frustrating it is to listen to 16 yr olds, on the verge of leaving school, moaning on about having to write.
Well, it's not as if we're going to look at our books is it?
Can I remind you of the concept of revision?
I'm not going to revise. (This from Georgina, my own Vicky Pollard.)
WHAT? The most important year of your life - the most important exams you'll ever take (Or in your case fail) and you're not going to revise?
Not for this! I don't need this subject.
You need all your subjects and given your grade profile Lady, you need all the help you can get.
There is, if it were not a silent activity, the sound of sulking as Georgina digests this slight to her academic prowess. It is accompanied by sniggers from some of the others.
Ha. That ripped you girl.
That evening I gave some thought to how I might encourage revision. I decided on subliminal advertising. I found the sign generator website and happily edited messages about revision into street signs and cell-phone messages to include in my power-point presentations. My personal favourite is a picture of mystical hands with the legend GOD INSISTS THAT YOU REVISE FOR RELIGIOUS STUDIES. I'm sure he does. Above is one I felt, on reflection, I could not use.
