Anthony Gismondi: B.C. wines of the week and events, Feb. 18
Weekend wine picks
Mission Hill Terroir Collection No. 29 Bluebird Passage Viognier 2014, Okanagan Valley
$30 |88/100
In this reserve tier wine, Mission Hill offers up an unoaked version of Viognier that leads with and carries through bright, stony, orchard fruit from first whiff to finish. The style is fresh and floral with sweet peaches, apricots, tangerine and starfruit on a creamsicle, leesy base. Soft perfumed baby powder and notes of ginger ale mark the finish. The fruit comes off the cooler western side of Osoyoos. Drink now. Private wine shops.
Quails' Gate The Connemara 2014, Okanagan Valley
$60 | 92/100
Winemaker Nikki Callaway spent some time working in Bordeaux where clearly she learned a thing or two about blending. Led by a silky, mouth-filling Merlot at 55 per cent, Callaway adds 30 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 per cent Cabernet Franc to tighten the structure and flush out the length. So young, yet so balanced. Floral black fruit aromas with gentle smoky black and red fruit flavours set the stage for the rich but soft tannins. Nothing but a bright future here. Lay this down for five to seven years before opening. Winery direct.
Carson Pinot Noir Naramata Vineyard 2014, Okanagan Valley
$35| 91/100
Free draining alluvial and colluvial soils of silt and sandy loams over clay and gravel sets the stage for this hedonistic, rich Naramata Bench Pinot. Dijon 115 clones have yielded an exuberant, fruity, spicy Pinot that is 3/4 Central Otago and 1/4 Oregon in my mind. This rivals last year's effort, but with better ripeness. Strawberry fruit runs wild with enough spice and acidity to keep it all lively. The finish is soft silky and long. Ourbottle was served with roast chicken, and gone in minutes. Private wine shops and restaurants.
Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2013, Okanagan Valley
$26| 90/100
It is hard to believe, but the 2013 may be more voluptuous than the 2011 and 2012. The blend is the same as last year at 67/33 Merlot/Cabernet franc. The nose is a fragrant blue and black fruit affair, the attack again dense, chalky, savoury and rich with pepper, plums, violets and licorice spice. This is a huge wine in the glass and will need time to settle in. Like its predecessors, you will have to wait five years for this to show its ultimate picture, but it will be a good one. Private wine shops.
Terravista Fandango Albariño Verdejo 2015, Okanagan Valley
$24.90 |90/100
I would never have guessed Albariño would find a home in the Okanagan 25 years ago, but it has, and it is killing it. Fandango mixes Albariño and Verdejo under the watchful eye of soulful winemaker Senka Tenant, and you can feel and taste it in the wine. The fruit is grown at Terravista Vineyard's home site, Lone Hand Ranch, over granitic soils. Look for a full-bodied, almost weighty white but the palate is fresh and alive with notes of apricots, red apples, ripe melons and lemons with a twist of lime oil and a mineral, stony back end. We loved it with a spicy, chicken pasta dish.
A week of Italian sausage begins today on Granville Island at Oyama Sausage Co.
Oyama will celebrate traditional Italian cuisine by making over a dozen types of fresh sausages, such as Tuscan chicken with basil, Italian duck, and Marsala pork.
They'll also prepare some amazing Italian charcuterie, including culatello, prosciutto di Parma, and finocchiona salami. You can email your order 24 hours ahead, between 8:30 a.m. and 4p.m. daily, and bypass the crowds topick up your order.
• Flourish, the signature, fundraising green-tie gala put on by Vancouver Community College Foundation to fund student scholarships and bursaries, is onMarch 9.
The evening showcases tasting creations by Vancouver's leading culinary minds, the best of VCC's fashion arts, auto restoration, live music and wines courtesy of the Naramata Bench Wineries Association. Tickets are $200 via Eventbright.ca.
B.C. wine of the week
Robin Ridge Gamay 2014, Keremeos, Similkameen Valley
$23.90 | 88/100
A solid performer, this Similkameen take on the great Beaujolais grape is slightly richer and denser but still has a firm, stony undercurrent. The attack is lively with black cherry fruit leading the way with a warm savoury, cinnamon undercurrent. Cru level weight and heft here. You can serve this with pork, roast chicken or soft cheeses to best effect. Tasty and ready to drink, but it should improve in the bottle over the next three years.
Wine for the cellar
Jean-Maurice Raffault Chinon Rouge 2015, Chinon, Loire, France
$19.49 | 89/100
If you like Loire Cabernet Franc with a touch of California, back up the truck. The 2015 vintage was early and warm and fruit is fully ripe. Reduced acidity and concentrated fruit has made for a delicious wine. Raffault's Chinon Rouge comes off several blocks of vineyards grown over sandy, alluvial soil near the Vienne River. The texture is silky, the fruit a tasty mix of ripe raspberries and cherries and, as young as it is, it is ready to drink but we recommend three to five years in the cellar. Impressive value.

Read Part 1: Missed opportunities and the biggest backyard mistakes
This week's article is a continuation of last week's 10 biggest mistakes homeowners make in their outdoor spaces. I'm doing this even though I got an earful from my Grandma when she read my #8, a ban on red mulch. (Sorry Granny, you haven't convinced me that there is a place for colourful mulch in a garden.)
In all fairness, it has taken me years of trial and error to put together this list and I figure I've made every one of these mistakes several times on my own, which is why I feel safe sharing them with you.
Big yards
Coming in at number seven is our desire for the big yard. I'm not sure where the idea started that a bigger yard is a better yard, or that a bigger lawn is a status symbol. Maybe it has something to do with keeping the neighbours as far away as possible. Unfortunately, in our efforts to keep the large lawn, we started pushing elements to the edge of property lines.
Even today I see homeowners with a yard that is defined by a fence on all sides, several gardens pushed up against the fence and a large lawn down the middle. There is nothing inviting about a space like this. It is just like being at a high school dance and no one is on the dance floor — they are all on the wall trying not to be noticed.
Instead, consider adding elements to the centre of your space. Items like a deck and a pergola, or a small patio with chairs. By creating a focal point in the centre of the yard instead of on the wings, you visually push your neighbours away because you eye moves to the centre, instead of the edges.
Front flowerbed
Number six is the dreaded front flowerbed — and I know Grandma is gonna give me another earful on this one. Every single house in almost every single neighbourhood in Canada has a garden jammed up against the house under the front windows. Very few of these are actually successful because this is a challenging spot for plants to grow. They get less rain because of the roof line and the soil is often the worst in the yard because of the home construction.
Instead of placing the garden tight to the house, move it out by two to three feet and put a band of gravel behind it. The gravel allows you access to the home for things like cleaning windows, but it also forces you to plant forward, allowing the plants some space from the home itself. The best part, as the plants grow, no one can even see the band of gravel from the sidewalk!
Big deck syndrome
Number five holds a special spot in my heart. I call it the big deck syndrome. This is when homeowners invest lots of money and build a large deck or walkout on the back of the second storey of their homes.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen some amazing constructions done by talented contractors, but eventually the homeowner is going to realize that their beautiful deck is a giant stage and they have just put themselves in full view of every one of their neighbours.
Some people don't mind the attention while others start looking for privacy solutions right away. If you are planning one of these builds, ask your contractor to plan for privacy as part of the design. It is much easier to get them to build it right from the beginning then to try and add it on after the fact.
Next week I will tackle numbers three and four of the biggest mistakes people make outside. Hopefully your yard won't have either of them!

London: Afghan President Hamid Karzai has
cancelled a visit to Britain to fly home after at least 59 people were killed in twin attacks on Shiite shrines, an embassy official said Wednesday.
"President Karzai will no longer be coming to London. He
is flying back to Afghanistan following today`s events," Hanif
Aman, a spokesman for the Afghan embassy in London, told reporters.
Karzai had been due to arrive in London later today from
Germany for talks with Prime Minister David Cameron.
A spokeswoman for Cameron`s Downing Street office said, "I can confirm that President Karzai has cancelled his visit."
A statement from Karzai`s office in Kabul said that on
his return, he was to meet the families of victims of the
attacks on Shiite shrines in the capital and the northern city
of Mazar-i-Sharif.
"President Karzai has cancelled his trip to London due to
today`s terrorist attacks. President Karzai, who was in Bonn,
was due to visit London this afternoon," it said.
"But learning about two suicide attacks in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, he cancelled his trip to London and headed back to Afghanistan.
"He is due to meet with families of victims when in
Afghanistan to express his grief and share his sympathies."
At a press conference with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel earlier today in Berlin, Karzai said the bombings were
the first "terrorist" attacks of their kind on the Shiite holy
day of Ashura.
The attacks occurred just a day after an international
conference in Bonn on the future of Afghanistan after NATO
troops pull out at the end of 2014, and raised fears of
possible sectarian tensions.

Bare Bones
Elaine K has made us wait far too long for this one. \'yeah, really\' and \'as is\' were superb releases from this contemporary singer songwriter based in NYC who hails from Ireland. She\'s been compared to artists like Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman and Ani DiFranco but never without caveats. Go ahead, pop the CD in your player or the mp3s on your ipod because it will make no difference, the outcome will be the same. Flawless. I\'m not kidding. I don\'t mean flawless like there\'s not one wrong note in there, I mean flawless like nothing is ever out of place and yet everything is surprising and disarming at the same time. Bare bones is a journey that takes you on an emotional journey that follows not just the ups and downs of love and life but everything in between. The embarrassing; (I Hate You Too \'I\'m fully aware that you hate me\'); the sincere (How Does It Feel \'I wish I could make you take a polygraph\'); the tortured (Within You \'all I ever wanted lay within you - and there go you\'); the fresh (Sex \'I just got laid so now my dry spell has been saved\'); the raw (Already Dead \'I have this unnerving desire to hurt you) and the regretful (I\'m Sorry \'By now you think I had a plan just to destroy you\'). Just when you feel like the love song\'s been done too many times over, Elaine K comes flying to the rescue. But the beauty of it is you don\'t feel manipulated. This is not an artist molded and polished by the industry as we\'ve seen happen to so many - this is an artist who missed the boat and so instead swam along behind doing her own stroke. The difference is beautiful. I challenge you to listen to this artist and not be moved. Bare bones won\'t speak to you - it will resonate with you. Remember those days?.

What Does "Off the Record" Mean?
Marcus Brauchli, editor of the Washington Post, was revealed this week to have misled Politico and the New York Times—inadvertently, he claims—when he said that information gleaned from controversial "salons" that the Post planned to charge lobbyists $25,000 to $250,000 to attend (with Post reporters and government officials as bait) would "inform our coverage." In fact, the revenue-raising salons, which were canceled after they came to light, were always intended to be off the record, and Brauchli knew that at the time. Brauchli maintains the discrepancy arose because the arrangement he'd contemplated would have followed the "Chatham House rule," which states: "[P]articipants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed." The Chatham House rule, Brauchli now concedes, does not accord with the Post's internal definition of "off the record," and the Post publicized the planned salons as "off the record." Brauchli admitted this in a Sept. 25 letter to Charles Pelton, the Post employee who organized the salons and last month left the Post. The letter came to light through a correction that the New York Times ran at the insistence of Pelton's lawyer.
The emerging consensus is that Brauchli lied to avoid blame for a widely condemned ethical lapse. He says he merely "failed to reconcile the language and the intentions." Truthful or not, Brauchli's alibi underscores a principle I demonstrated in a 1999 "Chatterbox" column: The professional jargon reporters use to describe sourcing ground rules is poorly understood within the profession in general and inside the Washington Post in particular, even though the Post has codified them in its stylebook. I concluded that journalists deliberately keep the applied meaning of terms like "off the record" and "background" fluid to maximize their latitude to impart information. In a 2006 follow-up, I applied this thesis to columnist Robert Novak's shaky claim that a Bush official spoke on "deep background" when he blew the cover of CIA employee Valerie Plame.

Fits pretty well...I ordered a large and probably could've ordered a medium but didn't want to because I didn't want it to be too snug on my behind, I'm bottom-heavy. I weigh about 130 lbs, if that helps, and i'm 5ft 3in. It fits just a tad loosely on top and just right on the bottom. And the fabric isn't super cheap feeling so that's nice. All in all this will probably be a go-to dress to throw on while running errands or something.
Simple but Cute
Easy to put on and the color is very pretty. Fits perfect with just a little extra room not skin tight. I am 5'4" 135-140 lbs 34 B bigger in hips smaller in waist waist. Can't go wrong at this price definitely recommend getting one.
Five Stars
Beautiful dress, I wear a 12 should have gotten. Size 16
Five Stars
Loooovvvveeeee this!
nice dress
I loved my dress. I can't wait to wear it. I am going to purchase some black boots to wear with it.
love this !!!!! I want one in every color!!!
Perfect maxi dress for summer. Beautiful and very comfortable
I bought this dress for Easter. I live in Southern California and it was hot. I had to lose some of the hem as I am 4'11" but this did not detract from the design. Fit was perfect, dress was comfortable. I will enjoy wearing it throughout the summer. I did not realize lightingsome.com had clothing. I saw a similar dress on another website at twice the price. This is was a wonderful find.

Ky. can create clean energy jobs
The July 13 editorial points to Sen. Brandon Smith's much-ridiculed climate change denial as proof that Kentucky needs smarter leadership.
The fledgling solar and wind industries now have as many jobs as the coal industry (Time, "The Green Revolution is Here"). Other states are profiting. In five years, Ohio has added more than 70,000 jobs in solar and wind manufacturing. North Carolina has grown 12,500 jobs, billions in investments and 715 new businesses.
By implementing similar policies, Kentucky could create at least 28,000 jobs. A report by Rural Economic Models Inc. shows that phasing out fossil fuels will not be a job killer but a job creator.
By transitioning to clean energy, the United States can create 2.8 million jobs and add $80 billion to $90 billion annually to GDP by 2025. Placing a carbon fee on fossil fuels and making it payable directly to consumers in a monthly rebate check would create demand for more clean energy jobs.
As the carbon fee increased, people would switch to renewables. A fee would force carbon polluters like China to go green to compete economically. That rebated money would allow Americans to buy U.S. products. Eight Nobel-winning economists support this plan. See Citizens Climate Lobby for details.
Lynn Goldfarb
Stone shows need for change
I want Kentuckians to lead the nation into the future, not regress to a past we've passed.
Former Jefferson County GOP chair Bill Stone's blast against Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes reminds us that it's a rare opportunity when our state has so much to give to the country in November elections — namely, female leadership.
But in giving, we are also taking away wannabe and elected self-centered, self-preserving GOP obstructionist demagogues. Kentucky and the nation are broke and dysfunctional because GOP hyper-partisans have nothing but a negative campaign playbook from which they sing anti-Obama, anti-Hillary and anti-government.
Strange, isn't it, that the first African-American president and possible first woman president, both American dreams, elicit so much fear and wrath from mostly good ol' boys used to having their way. From the conservative male majority of the Supreme Court to the wealthiest corporate person, males heading too-big-to-fail-or-jail organizations, the boys' exclusive worldview hasn't had to deal with any leadership culture other than their own power-over. Change? Climate, demographic, otherwise they just deny it.
Kentuckians deserve better than male non-representatives who want to take over by privatization of the one thing we the people share: our government.
Ramona Rush
Writer off-base on Warren
Former Ky. GOP official Bill Stone's diatribe on Sen. Elizabeth Warren is so off base it's laughable. Stone, president of a large company, is clearly the type of corporate constituent catered to Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Stone struggles to portray Warren as an "out-of-touch lady from Massachusetts." In reality, Warren was born in Oklahoma, a coal-producing state, to working-class parents.
Her father worked as a janitor to support four children until he suffered a heart attack, resulting in many medical bills, a pay cut because he could not do his previous work and the loss of their car due to foreclosure.
Warren waited tables and her mother worked at Sears to try to make ends meet. Many Kentucky families face similar hardships.
Stone says, "Warren embraces Obamacare taxes" (taxes affecting only individuals making over $200,000 and families and large businesses, like Stone's, making over $250,000). Sounds fair.
Stone accuses Warren of embracing mandates to "emasculate" the Second Amendment. Emasculate? How ridiculous is that statement given the numerous innocent lives lost because of inadequate gun control?
Stone's attempt to undermine Warren and Alison Lundergan Grimes emphasizes how desperate the corporate world is to hang onto McConnell. Don't fall for the lies.

Old Glory disrespected
The July 4 sports section showed a large picture of United States fans in Redondo Beach, Calif., cheering the World Cup soccer match between the U.S. and Belgium.
I couldn't believe the horrible condition of the American flag flying over the crowd. The article was written by Geoff Baker from the Seattle Times.
The disrespect for our flag infuriated me. I was raised to cherish our flag. Not only was the flag tattered, there were several holes in it. Isn't there someone at your newspaper who checks pictures? This is an insult to our country — and on July 4. Unbelievable. I have also written to the Seattle Times.

Today, I was just using my phone normally and all of a sudden, it rebooted into recovery and I could't reboot out of it. I tried wiping the caches and booting from some back ups and none of that worked. It was while trying to boot from a day 1 backup I had saved that my phone bricked.
From there, tried the light trick, and holding the power/vol buttons with no avail. Its completely unresponsive, though my PC makes the noises when I plug it in even though the phone isn't showing up as a device.
Please help, I'm getting scared that I have no options here.

"Pumpkin Face" is a good Halloween game for tweens. Players coat their face with Vaseline. A layer of cheese puffs is placed on a table, and the players then have to cover their faces with as many cheese puffs as possible, without using their hands, in a predetermined short period of time. Other good Halloween games for tweens include bobbing for apples and bubble gum pie.Continue Reading
Bobbing for apples is a well-known game that is perfectly acceptable for tweens to play at Halloween parties. A number of apples are placed in a bucket of water, and contestants have to retrieve as many as possible using only their mouths in a set period of time. Players can also divide into two teams, and the team that has gathered the most apples at the end of one round is the winner. Players can also form a line and pass each apple that is retrieved down the line (without using their hands) before the next player steps up to the bucket. Bubble gum pie is a similar game in which pieces of bubble gum are submerged in a pie plate filled with whipped cream. The player plunges her face into the pie and has to retrieve the pieces of gum.Learn more about Halloween

In this chapter you will learn what types of exchanges are available and how to examine each one
Other than choosing your payment method you'll also have to choose the exchange where you'll buy your coins. Before I show you what you should look out for, it's important to know that even though the term "exchange" is used widely as a place where you can buy and sell Bitcoins there are actually different types of exchanges
Types of exchanges
Trading platforms
These are websites that connect buyers and sellers through an online trading platform and take a fee from each transaction. The website itself doesn't hold any stock of Bitcoins to sell to the public other than what its users have deposited in it.
Trading platforms are what usually set the market price since they are a reflection of how much people are willing to pay for each Bitcoin. Examples of leading trading platforms are Bitstamp and Kraken.
If you're just getting acquainted with online trading you may find the trading platforms a bit hard to understand as they allow you to put all sorts of orders in their system (e.g. stop-loss, take-profit) and the terminology may be a bit daunting for a newbie.
You can consider brokers to be "Bitcoin shops" where you can buy Bitcoins at a predetermined price that the shop or broker has placed. Usually buying from brokers would be an easier process than using an exchange since they are more geared toward the user experience of the buyer.
Examples of leading Bitcoin brokers today are Coinmama, Coinbase and Circle. Brokers have their own supply of Bitcoins to sell to the public which means they can run out of Bitcoins (see this example from several years ago).
Non executable exchanges
The last type of exchanges out there are something I like to call "non-executable exchanges". These are usually exchanges that don't deal directly with buying and selling Bitcoins but rather the purchasing of CFDs (Contract For Difference) on Bitcoin's price.
Simply put, these exchanges are geared towards people who are looking to make a profit from the fluctuations in Bitcoin's exchange rate without the need to actually buy any Bitcoins.
Examples for these kinds of exchanges are Plus500 and Avatrade. We will not be dealing with these kinds of exchanges in this guide since it's not possible to actually buy Bitcoins through them. Also, trading CFDs involves putting your money at risk and is more suitable for experienced traders.
Direct trading exchanges
There's also the option to communicate directly with Bitcoin buyers and sellers and not use an automated trading platform. Local Bitcoins is a great example of such an exchange. When dealing with a direct trading exchange there will be no fixed market price as each seller can decide on his own exchange rate.
How to examine an exchange
Here are the things to check out when examining an exchange:
Probably the first thing I'd check is an exchange's reputation. There are some pretty easy ways of doing this:
- Google the exchange's name + "Review" in Google and see what comes up.
- Read the "about us" page of the exchange. I wouldn't recommend dealing with an exchange that doesn't openly disclose its team members.
- Ask on BitcoinTalk (Bitcoin's largest forum) opinions about using this exchange.
- Check the exchange's global rank in Alexa. The lower the rank the more traffic the exchange has (which is a good sign). Just for reference the leading exchanges have a rank of anywhere between 6,000 – 50,000. Anything above 150,000 I would be suspicious of…
Exchange rate
Pretty obvious I guess. See how much bang you get for your buck. You'll notice that different exchanges have different rates. You'd be surprised about how drastically the price can change between exchanges.
Available payment methods
Try to figure out what payment methods are accepted in your requested exchange. This can usually be done by visiting the FAQ or support page. If you can't seem to find the answer there just open an account and go to the deposit page – this will usually give you the answer.
Fees (all of them)
One of the most annoying things you'll need to deal with is figuring out how much money in fees you're going to pay for your transaction. On almost every exchange there will usually be a "fees" page where these will be listed. If you can't find them there, look for them in the FAQ page. If you still have no luck, just Google [exchange name]+ "fees" and that should bring you to the answer.
Make sure to find out ALL of the fees listed below:
- Deposit fees – How much will you need to pay for depositing money in the exchange. This fee varies between payment methods.
- Transaction fees – What percentage of the transaction the exchange takes (if any).
- Withdrawal fees – Some exchanges will also take a fee for withdrawing your Bitcoins from their account.
Time to Bitcoin (TTB)
The last thing I suggest you check out is how much time in total will it take you to receive your Bitcoins. If you need your coins instantly some exchanges just won't cut it. TTB is composed from:
- Account verification period – How long the exchange takes to verify new accounts (if needed).
- Deposit time – How long your deposit takes to process (depends on the payment method).
- Withdrawal time – Are payments made instantly or is there a withdrawal period.
Supported countries
Not all exchanges operate worldwide. Make sure your desired exchange accepts citizens from your country.
Verification needed?
Some exchanges will insist you go through a verification process while other will allow you to remain anonymous. A verification process usually requires submitting some form of government id and can take a day or two.
By now you're probably thinking:
I have to check out all of this stuff before buying one lousy Bitcoin?!?
Well we did call this the definitive guide didn't we? But don't worry, in the next chapter I'm going to sum things up for you in a way that will make it easier for you to choose where and how to purchase your Bitcoins.

The 14th Annual Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference started with a paranoid bang this Tuesday morning, as Chris Palmer, Seth Schoen, and Dan Silverstein guided a captive audience through the art of digital network surveillance. The tutorial culminated in a somewhat shocking demonstration of just how vulnerable the average out of the box P.C. is. But before that, Palmer outlined the physical and conceptual composition of modern computer networks. We often think of computing and network technologies through layers of abstraction. Whereas, on wire medium, communication in machine code is essentially a series of voltage fluctuations, through protocol layers, we are able to interpret these raw signals into binary 0s and 1s, address them to end hosts, deal with data loss or interference, and provided robust messaging sequences and formats for applications (such as your web browser or email client) to interpret.
Abstracted views of underlying technology mask complexity which may confuse us as users. However, they also hide how an underlying machine may be behaving on ones behalf to execute users delegated tasks. One prominent example of this, which set the stage for, Palmer, Schoen and Silversteins eventual demonstration was the broadcast nature of most network traffic. When users surf the web, or download email on a networked machine, one might implicitly assume that request emanate from one machine to another, and responses return in a similar fashion. However, both Ethernet and commonly used wireless protocols (802.11b, 802.11g) broadcast all messages to all nodes connected to the network. It might shock users to realize that there are no functional barriers to third party monitoring on all network activity. It is only the programmed good behavior of systems to ignore data packets address to others and only view those addressed to them. Palmer put it simply quoting a 19th century statesman who, in response to a proposal to construct an NSA like agency, said Gentlemen do not read each others mail.
Palmer, Schoen, and Silverstein demonstrated the how snooping software could be produced with only slight modification to existing and standard computer system software tools. The speakers setup a small local area network and activated one machine to monitor the traffic of another as it requested a web page. An abundance of data was readily available as the HTTP request was broadcast over common wire in plain unencrypted text. Any machine connected to the network could view the web page requested, the IP address from the issuing host, the operating system that host was running, as well as a globally unique machine identifier called a MAC address, in addition to many additional explicit and inferable facts.
There are cryptographic ways to prevent network snooping. Secure Socket Layer is commonly used for secure World Wide Web transactions. Diffie Hellman cryptography is also commonly used to protect information produced by applications prior to network transmission.
But communication channels are not the end of network security woes. Computer networks are composed of end systems (computer) and network medium (wires). In many cases, it is the common assumption that communications channels are vulnerable to snooping (as in the Ethernet example) but less so the computer systems which they connect. The speakers were emphatic about pointing out that although transmission security may be strong, end systems are not, as some assume, inherently safer than communication channels. Schoen stated that using SSL to deliver HTTP is like:
using an armored car to deliver a package to someone on a park bench. With the installation of malicious software such as a Remote Access Trojan or RAT on a networked computer, an attacker can essentially take complete control of another individuals computer.
To demonstrate this end system attack, a RAT (SubSeven v.2.1.5) was installed on a victim machine. This Trojan allowed the attacker to view the victims current screen, record and insert keystrokes, download and upload arbitrary files, as well as activate the PCs microphone to record audio from the surrounding environment. Schoen stated that when malicious code infects a computer all bets are off It may do anything.
End system and communications attacks are increasingly sophisticated. One computer science professor at UC Berkeley has devised a system to break SSL by analyzing the timing of encrypted data packets emanating from a computer over a network. Moreover, less malicious but equally invasive monitoring software (sometimes called spyware or adware) is commonly found on computers where users have no idea they exist. A recent BBC news report found that an average 29 spyware applications were installed on computers it studied as part of a survey.
The best ways to fight these security compromises are to update virus definitions regularly, scrutinize the source of information including Verisign certificates before accepting files, and to configure network software (including operating systems) to disallow things like automatic software download and execution.Posted by johnhan at April 20, 2004 06:28 PM

Mischa Barton has become the latest star to pose for controversial photographer Tyler Shields.
The O.C. star stripped off for the photoshoot with Shields, and in the series of bizarre new images, Mischa Barton can be seen nibbling on a piece of raw meat and placing a slab over her eye - all while topless.
Posting the snaps on his official website, Tyler Shields writes, "She was amazing to work with and I can't wait to do it again."
Tyler Shields has gained much attention for his works as of late - he recently came under fire for shooting Glee star Heather Morris with a black eye, prompting fans to accuse the photographer of glamorising domestic violence.

LinkedIn Endorsements Section becomes a whole lot better
What frustrated me, and many I speak to, is that we acquire new skills regularly and need these visible to help with our credibility. Not many of us will scroll and click to see the hidden skills.
This is a great change to the format and one that will help us all and highlight your new skills to those that view your profile. I agree, its not a perfect system, but neither the less its evolving in the right direction. Only downside, until someone endorses a skill you have moved it sits there with no validation. Could this have an adverse effect?
So take some time now and move your new skills you want your network to see and pay it forward, endorse someone. Though ONLY if you have experienced that skill. Or even better - write a recommendation for that person.
What do you think of the new Endorsements format? Drop a comment below

Show me the MONEY
If You Build It, Will They Come?
It is hard work as of late, convincing individuals that blogging needs to be part of their digital personal brand strategy.
Especially those that have amassed valuable knowledge over the years and even those with great ideas and opinions.
Some tend to believe that all they need to have is a static presence, say hello on Twitter or Facebook once in awhile, occasionally add connections to their network and they are set to attract clients.
The "build it and they will come," theory.
Lets be honest, this method doesn't work and those that are venturing into this arena can back me up. There is no "one size fits all," path to success.
It's about creating relationships and you have to drive traffic. BUT it is not only traffic that is important. Unlike traditional media where today's news is tomorrows fish and chip wrapper, the world of the Internet has staying power. So every entry into the online world leaves a digital footprint about you that can be found.
Magnetism & Four-Letter Words
Streetwise professionals would probably also agree that publishing blog articles is like magnetising your target audience to you. When the blog is quiet, the traffic to your blog slows or stops.
Lets take a look at some benefits:
• Gives the writer credibility.
• Focuses on the author's ideas and expertise.
• Establishes credibility in the author's niche.
• Attracts the reader to the author & the author's additional content.
How awesome, right?
Who wouldn't want that?
Ever met a salesperson that didn't like the spotlight or to talk more about themselves?
Even so, when I say the word, "blog," it's like I've said a four-letter word.
The definition of this word has also changed; with the advent of 140 character micro-blogs i.e. Twitter, the use of video blogs i.e. YouTube, picture blogs i.e. Flickr. Penning a few words can lead to engagement however the richer the content the richer the engagement.
Walking the talk
So, for some time, I've been pondering how I could get more people interested in blogging. A little more exciting…more "sexy," if you will.
It would have to be, or I'd lose my audience.
In this case:
• Executives.
• SME's
• Sales Professionals.
Individuals, that clients will make decisions about, in 2012 and future.
These days, the Internet is a haven of nifty new media. A place where we read, play games, buy, sell, trade, socialise, and more…
Building a boat
Back to my challenge – To making blogging more attractive and enticing. As a parent, my instincts are to put a fun slant on it.
Much like how we convince our children to take their medicine with the song, "A spoon full of sugar." Or inspire others to remember something with a groovy acronym.
Finding the Hot Button
So, playing to what gets people enthused I realised this is the sweet spot…the hot button. I should find a way for them to get just as excited about their blog as they might be about "MONEY".
The acronym…
M – More
O – Opportunity
N – Needs
E – Engagement
Y – You
More Opportunity Needs Engagement from You
Oh yes, Show me the money!
What sales person wouldn't get excited about that? Information about themselves – about their purpose – rippling across the Internet where their target audience is hanging out!
Can you imagine what could happen with this slightly changed perspective?
Pen is mightier than the sword
From a marketing, brand and personal standpoint, a blog should be the hub of your social media and digital presence.
Technology is already changing who wins and how.
Employees – regardless of time served, status, or experience – NEED to stop snarling their nose at penning a few words once in awhile, and start realising the benefits.
For them, and their clients.
More Opportunity Needs Engagement from You

Hi! I'm Ruth Holloway (née Bavousett).
I'm a jill-of-all-trades, by nature. Growing up, my father taught me that there wasn't anything a person couldn't do, if they wanted to badly enough, and could find the right tools for the job. As a result, nearly fifty years later, I can do a little bit of everything. I'm involved in a lot of things, and pretty constantly busy.
I'm a technologist, a writer, a woodworker, a wife, a parent, a grandparent, an activist, a public speaker, an amateur cartographer, a skilled cook, and many more things.
People say the nicest things…
As the keynote at our inaugural ACT-W Austin conference, Ruth kicked things off with a bang! Her talk resonated with attendees, got people thinking, and touched all of our hearts. We will be inviting her back again and again.
Asking Ruth to speak at The Perl Conference in Amsterdam was, by far, one of the best decisions I have made. The material was compelling and enlightening and Ruth's public speaking skills are those of a gifted storyteller, both captivating and inspiring.
I run a large and active group on Facebook, and Ruth is one of the members of my administrative team. She handles our treasury with skill and honesty. We could not manage to do the things we do every day without Ruth.
Ruth is an exceptional writer with the rare ability to provide detailed explanations of technical information, while still managing to deliver an enjoyable read in the process.

The U.S. government has long encouraged technology innovation in the service of our country's economic and national security aims. NASA and the U.S. military have been world leaders in research and development, helping to advance many technological innovations -- from computers to the Internet to GPS -- that have served our national security interests as well as commercial and consumer interests.
In the 21st century, U.S. research and development investments and partnerships with industry are as important as ever in areas such as telecommunications and energy. Ongoing energy innovation will foster private investment, job growth, and competitive success in the growing global clean energy sector. Pew estimates investment will be $1.9 trillion between 2012 and 2018 in the electricity sector alone.
The price of semiconductors in computers, GPS devices, and lithium-ion batteries in cellphones, as well as the cost of Internet access, has dropped precipitously because of significant early investment by the federal government. By working with private partners who can commercialize these technologies, policymakers have historically created new opportunities for global industries that U.S. companies and workers often lead.
This model allowed for the natural gas industry to benefit from early federal investment by the Department of Energy in hydraulic fracturing. Solar panels and lithium batteries also originated in the federal laboratories of the Department of Energy. Deployment of each is increasing because of rapid declines in cost and continued technological improvement. These advances are helping to accelerate deployment of clean energy technologies, both in the United States and abroad.
That acceleration is critically important. Global energy demand is expected to increase 53 percent by 2035 due to growth in developing nations. The advanced battery sector is predicted to grow to $100 billion annually by 2030 as electric vehicles and stationary storage applications are deployed. And solar photovoltaic capacity could increase by 375 gigawatts globally by 2018.
How can Washington ensure that U.S. businesses are poised to be global clean energy leaders? The critical step is to make long-term investment in energy innovation. Bipartisan experts agree that annual government investment in energy research and development should be as high as $25 billion. Current funding amounts to $4 billion a year, compared with $30 billion for health care and $80 billion for defense.
We know what works. Yesterday, for example, the Department of Energy's Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative makes strategic investments in research and development activities intended to lower the costs of technologies while maintaining U.S. manufacturing leadership in this sector.
Key programs such as Advanced Energy Research Project - Energy and the National Science Foundation have a history of broad bipartisan support. They should be strengthened, along with the department's energy innovation hubs and the proposed National Network for Manufacturing Innovation.
Investing in energy innovation will help create jobs for Americans and help position our businesses to serve rapidly expanding domestic and international markets. Leaders in our nation's capital should rise to the challenge, using spending and policy incentives to widen opportunities for private investment, job creation, and a strong clean energy future.

text: PHOENIX (AP) -- Gasoline prices at the pump around Arizona are lower for the fifth consecutive week. Officials with Triple-A Arizona said Thursday that the average statewide price for unleaded regular gasoline is at $3.39 a gallon. That's down by more than 3 cents from last week. This week's national average is at $3.56 per gallon, up by 3 cents from the previous week. Triple-A analysts say Arizona's gas prices are about 21 cents a gallon lower heading into the Labor Day holiday weekend compared to last year. Tucson has the lowest average gasoline price in Arizona at $3.27 a gallon while Flagstaff has the highest at $3.66. South Carolina has the lowest average gas prices in the continental U.S. at $3.26 a gallon with Connecticut having the highest at $3.92 a gallon.

red revival: clairol + james corbett studio.
|{active ingredients}
i decided i wanted a hint of my old red, mixed in with my natural brown. when i told james corbett at the eponymous salon these feelings, his thoughts were more "go big or go home". after some discussion i agreed to go all the way red, using clairol nice 'n easy light auburn (110). in order to give it a more natural look, james also painted some pieces close to my face with nice n' easy natural light ash blonde (9A).
i was initially shocked by my the red reveal, but quickly warmed up to the look. even though the change seemed dramatic to me, most people remark on how natural the color looks. plus, redheads have more fun.

The same old song. Using XBOX/PS to render
Sorry in advance. I saw some really old post talking about this but not any recent one and I wonder If the situation has changed.
Is there any way of using a video console to speed up the rendering of scenes designed in 3DMax, Maya or similar.
If not ( which I assume ) is there any technical reason Microsoft, for instance, do not design their systems in a way to allow them to connect with PC in order to boost their graphics power.
For a neophyte like me with no much idea seems like a win-win situation, for Microsoft and PC users at least. Especially if we think they are already in the market some external graphics card boxes.
Again apologies for the comment if the answer is too obvious.

Madness. Madness, I say!portfolio

I imagine it's possible to use the CPU from the modern consoles - but it's really slow. As in, there isn't really anything on the market right now in the PC world that runs that slow. They both use a custom 8-core "Jaguar" AMD chip which is basically an 8-core A-series CPU (without the integrated GPU) clocked down for longevity, to 1.6GHz.
This chip scored 1.041 in 3DMark '06, vs 1,197 from the prior generation's A8-5600K firstname.lastname@example.com. Yes, that's just one metric but their desktop quad-core beats the console's compute power with half the cores - and that's in 2012. The reason I'm using that 5600K for my example is because it's what I have in my TV-PC hooked up to a nice Panasonic plasma TV - it's what I'm typing this on, right now. I use this computer for setups and Photoshop (when not gaming or watching shows) but for rendering it's pathetically slow. It heats up rapidly and I cannot safely render with all four cores, even with an aftermarket cooler.
And that's why those Jaguar chips in the consoles are clocked so low - they are very inefficient and the architecture is quite outdated and slow.
To sum up, there's absolutely no reason to waste your time using the weak-sauce power of those consoles for rendering. Every real computer you can buy today will render faster, including most laptops. For the price of either console, you could buy a computer that renders many, many times faster - perhaps 16 or 32 times faster, or more. We're not just talking about twice as fast or three times as fast.

Thanks so much for the answer.
Technicalities were over my head and clearly, my "common sense" clearly misled me hahahahha.
It seemed funny to me that devices that can run games that my laptop can no deal with are no able to render as fast as my computer does. I understand that they are optimised for different purposes and that PC graphic cards are able to deal with a wider variety of process than the "graphics cards" video consoles have.
Thanks for the answer again.

We've all heard the saying: Right To Life believes that life begins at conception and ends at birth.
That mindset was reinforced today when Ohio Right to Life came out against the ballot issue that would no longer let politicians draw their own legislative and congressional district. That task would be turned over to an independent citizens committee. It will appear as Issue 2 on the November ballot.
If you care about education, the economy, health care or any other of the great issues of the day, you should vote YES on Issue 2. It will result in a better caliber of senators and representatives who would no longer be able to draw districts in a way that all-but-guarantees the party in power stays in power.
Ohio RTL likes the system because today's legislators have launched unprecedented efforts to limit women's health care options, including measures designed to ban all abortions – even in cases of rape or incest. The anti-women bills come as polls show 71% of Ohioans believe abortion should be legal under some circumstances.
But to get elected as a Republican these days, one must embrace an extreme position on abortion. Since Republicans hold a majority in the Ohio House and Ohio Senate, Republicans control the flawed process of making the maps. Which means Ohio is a state where the vast majority of voters support abortion rights but the vast majority of elected representatives do not.
The anti-choice crowd has been having a bad week. Kellie Copeland, who heads NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, explained it nicely in today's release responding the RTL.
"I don't know what's worse, Ohio Right to Life admitting that the only way they can pass anti-choice legislation is with a legislature stacked full of extremists who were elected from gerrymandered districts, or that they made this announcement today to try to deflect attention away from the firestorm around Rep. Akin's despicable comments about rape victims. Either way, Ohio Right to Life is admitting that their goal to outlaw abortion without exceptions—even for rape victims—is completely out of touch with Ohio values," said Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio.
"Since the 2010 elections, Governor Kasich and Ohio Right to Life's cronies in the Statehouse have conducted a relentless war on women passing legislation that bans later term abortion care without an exception for rape or incest. They have also blocked efforts to pass the Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies (CARE) Act which would require Ohio hospitals to provide rape victims with emergency contraception to help prevent pregnancies as a result of rape. Anti-choice politicians like Governor Kasich and Rep. Akin are dangerous to women's health."
While embattled Rep. Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin was in Ohio working with Governor Kasich's media consultant Rex Elsass yesterday, trying to save his campaign by running away from his comments, the Republican Party was busy voting on the planks for their convention platform, including one on abortion that embraced Akin's beliefs by providing no exception for rape or incest.
Many Republicans, including Mitt Romney, tried to distance themselves from Akin by attacking his comments, but it's important to note that Romney's running mate Paul Ryan cosponsored a bill with Akin that sought to redefine rape and remove benefits from women who weren't "forcibly" (or "legitimately" as Akin would say) raped. Eleven Ohio Republican Congressmen and women – the same legislators who benefit from the gerrymandered districts ORL supports – voted for the bill.
