Introducing BioGro's Registered Products Programme
BioGro's Registered Products Programme for wine additions officially kicked off this September in preparation for the upcoming 2016 vintage.
The programme is aimed at manufacturers and suppliers of wine additions to assist them in supplying and supporting New Zealand's rising organic wine movement.
In 2015 the number of certified organic vineyards topped 165, compared to just 20 in 2007. This year 5.4% of all viticulture land in New Zealand became certified organic and 12.5% of winegrowers have at least one certified organic vineyard. There are currently 69 certified organic wineries under organic management.
These most recent statistics confirm that New Zealand's wine industry is set for significant growth. BioGro is committed to backing the movement, including supporting New Zealand's oenological supply companies in meeting demand.
The Registered Products Programme is an affordable, sustainable and easy way for suppliers to provide wineries with products that are compliant with organic winemaking requirements.
I am a winemaker…what can I expect from BioGro's Registered Products Programme?
As a certified organic winemaker, you can apply for wine additions through BioGro's Registered Products Programme from 2016 onwards. These products will be listed on our website and approval will be given automatically. For each non-registered products, supportive documentation will still need to be provided to BioGro by individual winemakers.
A number of suppliers have already approached BioGro to register their products. However the more suppliers we get on board, the more additions will be available for you to use automatically. We encourage all certified organic wineries to approach their suppliers about getting in touch with BioGro to register their products.
Online Wine Additions Tool
For those that are familiar with BioGro's Online Inputs Tool for farms and vineyards, a similar online system is currently in development on the BioGro website specifically for wine additions.
The online tool will allow you to search for additions you wish to use. It will automatically approve registered products and outline any market requirements and restrictions. If a winemaker wishes to use a product that is not registered, they will be able to manually enter supporting documentation about the product and how it will be used.
I am a winery supplier…how do I get involved?
As a winery supplier, you can register your products with BioGro for up to 2 years. Interested suppliers can contact us by December 1, 2015 to learn more about the Registered Products Programme and how it can benefit your business.
Want to know more? Subscribe to BioGro's e-newsletter to receive the latest updates about our Registered Products Programme and New Zealand's organic news.

One Direction was missing one of their bandmates when they appeared on the "Today" show to celebrate the release of their latest album. As soon as the band got settled on the stage at Universal in Orlando, Fla., Matt Lauer got right to it, quizzing the guys about why Zayn Malik was a no-show.
"Yea, he's got a tummy bug, so he's not very well at the moment, so he couldn't make it," Liam Payne told the crowd about Malik.
But Lauer wasn't ready to drop the line of questioning, and he took things further, asking the band about rumors that Malik was struggling with a drug addiction.
"Liam, there's obvious a lot of concern. A lot of fans have been tweeting overnight. There's been a lot of action on social media about him. Is it something more serious than just a minor illness? There have been rumors of substance abuse, what's going on?"
Payne didn't miss a beat and replied, "No, he's just got a stomach bug. He's OK. He's just at home. He just needs to rest."
After the show aired, Malik spoke to the U.K.'s The Sun and expressed outrage and Lauer's question.
"I'm really angry and upset by what was said," Malik told the newspaper. "I was really ill at the weekend, that's why I couldn't fly to America."
And while Payne kept his cool during the questions, the fans in the audience weren't nearly as calm. They loudly began booing Lauer.
Fans in the Twitterverse also expressed their anger at the TV host.
every one direction fan hates Matt Lauer right now
— morgan (@m_corbetta) November 17, 2014
Leave it to Matt Lauer to spice up a One Direction album launch interview with inappropriate, rude leading questions.
— Libby Hale (@lizbeth11) November 17, 2014
Dang Matt Lauer, he asked One Direction about substance abuse right before the concert. Way to kill the buzz.

We are in a contest with Islam for how we are going to live. Now I have been in a few contests in my life and all contests have rules. Somehow we in the West have decided we are going to play by the same rules no matter what rules our opponents pay by.
So since well before Sept.11, 2001 we've been fielding the world's best baseball team while facing Rugby, hockey and football teams.
I have an idea? why not play by their rules? So, Islamists kill Americans, Brits, Israelis and Indians in hopes that we all change. Since I don't particularly want to change, plus I have a serious allergy to having my grandchildren harmed, how about we start knocking off bunches of their civilians? We could start with the wealthy Muslims who finance the Jihad. We could then proceed to carpet bomb neighborhoods where Muslims dance in the street and pass out candy when news of these atrocities comes out.
We have been waiting for moderate Islam to stop the Jihadis. We'll keep waiting, the moderates have no reason to stop the Jihadis but plenty of reason to fear them. Meanwhile the moderates do not fear us, even when we move against the Jihad we avoid hurting the moderates.
We used to be pretty durned good at killing ourselves. Many of us still are. We find radical mosques in Yorkshire and they keep preaching hate and murder after the London bombings and that nut trying to drive the flaming Jeep into the departure desk in Glasgow. Would the British Mosques change their tune if Brits flung petrol bombs inside?
We find radical Mosques preaching that same hate in India. How about if the Indians surrounded those Mosques carrying those old Enfield .303 rifles? And because they were invented there, Bangalore Torpedoes. As well as petrol bombs.
I'm told that the Mosques in places like Detroit and Houston speak that same hate but also caution, only partially because of George Bush. Just as much because of the armed citizens of America. Anyone want to make bets on how long Calypso Louis' Fruits Of Islam would last if they started trying to blow Joe Sixpack's family away? The deer rifles would come out of the closets.
Here is my plan. The next Islamic attack we send the zoomies to bomb the rich guys in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the government of Somalia, just because, and the neighborhoods of "Palestine" that passed out candy on 9/11. Then after that, the next attack we blow up Pakistan's nukes and ISI headquarters, plus some more rich Arabs, maybe a few rich Malaysians.
Anyone think we'd need too many lessons before the world wide Jihad is over?

Took the train downtown this afternoon. Nice to take it on an off-day when not much is going on in Austin, so it's easy to get a table to work.
Took the train downtown this afternoon. Nice to take it on an off-day when not much is going on in Austin, so it's easy to get a table to work.
Congrats @hartlco on shipping Icro 1.1! Nice update to this beautiful third-party Micro.blog app for iOS.
Late but hopefully worth the wait, this week's episode of Core Intuition starts with a discussion of sandboxing in Mojave, then we take the rest of the show to discuss Twitter, blogging, and the role of social networks.
Lots of new people joined Micro.blog this week. Welcome! iPhone folks who were Tweetbot fans, I recommend checking out Icro too. @hartlco has done great work on the app.
If you're in the Minneapolis area, there's a Micro.blog lunch meetup at Common Roots Cafe today, noon - 1:30pm. @macgenie and @patrickrhone will be there!
Expecting a lot of new Micro.blog users over the next few weeks. This week: Twitter mismanages how to deal with Alex Jones and Infowars. Next week: Twitter streaming API gets shut down for third-party developers.
On the new Timetable: an update on microcast improvements, plans for Sunlit, and more thoughts on recent articles about curation on the big social networks.
This week we rolled out a few improvements to podcast hosting on Micro.blog. I talked about some of it on yesterday's episode of Timetable. Here are the changes:
Speaking of podcasts, check out the latest episode the Supertop podcast. In addition to updates about their podcast client Castro, they cover my blog post about Anchor and other thoughts on what impact Anchor might have on the podcast industry.
Two quick follow-ups on my post yesterday about Apple removing Infowars from their podcast directory, and related actions by Facebook and YouTube. First, Alan Jacobs summed it up really well on his microblog:
What Alex Jones is being deprived of is amplification. Not the right and freedom to speak, but multiple megaphones.
And I love this quote from the Onion:
What we see here really could be the beginning of a slippery slope towards a horrific ordeal in which any citizen who violates hate speech policies or blatantly spreads lies that cause other individuals to receive death threats will immediately be discredited and, perhaps, even asked to host their demonstrably false content on a website that they actually own.
The best satire is often true. We're seeing a major shift in how mainstream users view the role of these huge social networks.
BuzzFeed has an article about Apple removing Infowars from the Apple podcast directory:
Apple's decision to remove all episodes of Jones' popular show — rather than just specific offending episodes — is one of the largest enforcement actions intended to curb conspiratorial news content by a technology company to date. Apple did not host Jones' shows, but it offered an index that allowed anyone with an iPhone to find and subscribe to them.
This is the way the web is supposed to work. Alex Jones can continue to host his podcast and his fans can subscribe manually. But Apple has no obligation to index it in their podcast directory and make it easy for people to find it.
More from the New York Times today:
Some tech companies, including Facebook and Google, which owns YouTube, had appeared reluctant to remove Mr. Jones's pages entirely and were instead taking action against specific videos.
Google has now decided to terminate his YouTube channel. And:
Tech companies have long been wary of censoring speech, but an increasing amount of hate speech and misinformation — and louder protests from critics — have forced them to take action. Moves by the tech companies against Infowars and its peers have spurred a debate over free speech.
Facebook and YouTube are conflicted about how to handle this because their model is wrong. Unlike podcasts and blogs, which can live at a custom domain and move between hosting companies, videos on Facebook and YouTube are served directly on those platforms. If the videos are blocked, especially by YouTube which controls nearly all video on the web, there's no obvious migration path away.
We've also seen this hesitation to curate with Twitter. My post about pulling the weeds covers the same issue.
Over the last dozen years we have let massive centralized social networks gain far too much power. We started paying the price with the 2016 election and the fallout continues today. The solution is clear: post to your own site, encourage other people to get their own domain name, and support smaller social networks like Micro.blog that are empowered by design to curate.
Posted a new episode of Timetable about podcasting improvements and follow-up discussion from the Supertop podcast.
When I started using Twitter again for cross-posting, I made a few rules for myself so that I wouldn't get pulled back into the platform. One is that I let Micro.blog post everything for me automatically, and I only favorite or reply to people when I get asked a specific question. I don't follow anyone.
But every once in a while I feel compelled to jump in to a discussion. In reply to Joe Cieplinski's blog post today about Apple having all the leverage, I posted this tweet:
The sad part of this is that developers actually do have leverage, but we're just not organized and can't agree on what is fair. It would take the whole community coming together. Most developers think that Apple's tight control over app distribution is fine. (Spoiler: I don't.)
Long-time readers of my blog will notice that I complain about Apple as often as I praise them. I hold Apple to a very high standard because they've earned it through great design and products.
I know Micro.blog isn't perfect yet. There are many things we'd like to improve. But I'm proud that the values for the platform are consistent with everything I've been blogging about for 15+ years. Complaints I have against the power of big companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter… The entire design of Micro.blog's architecture is to do the opposite of what those companies do.
Catching up on the Distributed Web Summit. Great lightning talk from @t introducing the IndieWeb. Here's a link directly to the start of his talk in the YouTube stream.
We just posted Core Intuition 339: Apple services revenue, the App Store's 30% cut, @danielpunkass getting back into iOS development, blogging features, and more.
Posted a new Timetable with a quick follow-up on the Facebook API and recapping last night's Homebrew Website Club.
Jason Snell posted about Apple's record services revenue:
As someone who's interested in products, I find the focus on Services revenue to be a bit dispiriting. I get excited at the prospect of new products and seeing how consumers are accepting or rejecting products in the market. But the discussion of Services, especially in a financial context, is essentially a conversation about how Apple can grind more money out of every single person who uses an iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Back in 2011 I explored the App Store's 30% cut from the perspective of supporting free app downloads:
I've argued that Apple's 30% tax is about growing that to significant profit at the expense of developers, but in the back of my head I've also been concerned that maybe it's just to keep the App Store from falling into the red. Maybe they are really struggling under the weight of what they created, and long app review times and lack of focus around the Mac App Store launch are just symptoms of that.
In hindsight, 7 years later with $9.5 billion in services revenue per quarter, my attempt in that post to reconcile Apple's cut seems like a stretch. To echo what Jason says above, I still believe that services should complement Apple's core products.
iCloud storage is there to make the experience of saving files or backing up your iPhone better, not to nickel-and-dime users who need more storage for a backup. The App Store is there to make discovering apps easier, not to turn developers into a profit center. The more these parts of Apple's business dominate their revenue, the more divorced their product planning becomes from what users and developers need.
$9.5 billion. As I'm posting this their stock price just pushed the company to $1 trillion in market cap. Many developers can't make enough to support even a 1-person indie business full time.
As an exclamation point on the discussion around services revenue, Apple has also cancelled their affiliate program. Stephen Hackett sums up what I think many people in the community are thinking:
Payments made to people linking to apps with affiliate links comes out of Apple's share of revenue generated by app sales and in-app purchases. How much money it costs them is unknown, but the idea that the reasons behind this move could be financial in nature feels pretty gross. Apple is a for-profit company, and it has no bottom-line reason to keep this program open, but sometimes doing the right thing comes with a cost.
And John Voorhees on Apple's statement that the App Store no longer needs affiliate links:
If that's the case, it's short-sighted, but it's certainly Apple prerogative to run its programs as it sees fit. Still, it's not the right way to address the publications, developers, and others that have generated millions of dollars of referrals over the years in exchange for a modest 7% cut.
I've argued since the first days of the App Store that Apple's 30% cut is too high. This tax on developers is completely out of line with the value that Apple provides. The fact that Apple is bringing in so much money from services — nearly as much as the Mac and iPad combined — shouldn't sit well with developers who are still struggling. It's even worse now without the affiliate program, which developers could use to recoup some of that 30%.
Note what I'm not saying. I'm not saying that Apple should lower the rate to match Stripe's 3%, or that Apple should operate the App Store at a loss. It costs real money to maintain the App Store infrastructure and commit to featuring apps every day. But there should be a middle-ground that gives developers the best shot at a sustainable business.
Introducing a 15% tier for in-app purchase subscriptions (after the first year) was a good start. Most developers thought we'd never see that. We should be calling for an across-the-board 15% rate for all App Store transactions. It's the right thing for Apple to do. As Apple's services revenue continues to grow — and the TV streaming service will only add to that — the time to make this change is now.
Good afternoon, Austin! Reminder that Homebrew Website Club is at Mozart's Coffee, 6:30pm - 7:30pm. I'll be wearing my new IndieWeb t-shirt.
Nick Heer has a comprehensive post on how web pages have become so slow despite huge improvements in our internet speeds. He covers JavaScript tracking, Google's AMP, and a CNN web page that takes 30 seconds to load:
The vast majority of these resources are not directly related to the information on the page, and I'm including advertising. Many of the scripts that were loaded are purely for surveillance purposes: self-hosted analytics, of which there are several examples; various third-party analytics firms like Salesforce, Chartbeat, and Optimizely; and social network sharing widgets. They churn through CPU cycles and cause my six-year-old computer to cry out in pain and fury. I'm not asking much of it; I have opened a text-based document on the web.
As a contrast, consider my blog post from yesterday. All requests for the page (1 for HTML, 3 for CSS files, and an image) total only 34 K. The page loads completely in 1/3 of a second.
This is how most web pages should be. Lightweight, fast. It's how all Micro.blog-hosted sites are designed. If you've let your blog become too bloated with JavaScript includes or images, it's worth some time to trim out extra resources that don't really matter.
Homebrew Website Club tomorrow! 6:30pm at Mozart's Coffee. We'll keep it informal as we get back into holding this meetup. Time to review recent IndieWeb events, Micro.blog progress, or talk about updates to our sites.
Last week I added a new archive page to Micro.blog-hosted sites. It includes dates and the first part of each post, marked up with Microformats. Jonathan LaCour used this to write a script that parses the HTML looking for posts on today's date in previous years, then pulls the full content for each post it finds and assembles them together.
But it gets better. After Jonathan mentioned that it took quite a while to parse the large HTML file, I added a JSON Feed version of the archive page. If you've posted to Micro.blog since yesterday, this has been created for you at
your-domain.com/archive/index.json. Jonathan updated the script to use the JSON Feed and it can now return the "on this day" posts very quickly, with no configuration needed because it's all driven from a JavaScript include on your blog.
You can see this in action on my own blog's on this day page. It works for any Micro.blog-hosted blog by pasting in a few lines of HTML from the Micro Memories project on GitHub.
This is the potential for indie blogging and simple formats. Adding a feature to Micro.blog-hosted blogs enabled a new tool I hadn't even thought of. There was some discussion in the IndieWeb chat, but it took very little coordination because all of this is built with web stuff, not proprietary APIs.
You can add any Micro.blog timeline to Feedbin and it looks really good, with profile icons next to each post and inline photos. Check out this screenshot over on Feedbin's blog.
On my almost-daily podcast, Timetable, today I talk about rebuilding the Facebook integration in Micro.blog and getting organized.
Monday morning, lots of phone calls. Not my favorite thing.
It's a little late this week, but we published Core Intuition 338 today. Thanks for listening!
Loved the new episode of Internet Friends. Covers a lot: @drewcoffman coming to terms with using Twitter too much, how the user base has changed, what we need from a community, staying creative, blogging, and how @ablaze is using Micro.blog.

You could probably read Steal Like an Artist start to finish before the workday is over. It's a quick read – an adult book with pictures! – and it has a lot of great content. If you're looking for a pep talk on how creativity is everywhere and everyone (that means you!) is creative, I highly recommend this book.
I cannot get enough of Jedidiah Jenkins lately. I discovered him a few months ago, and I keep going back to him. Scroll down a bit on this page to watch a four-minute video about him and his experience. This will give you a good introduction. If you're like me, he will perfectly articulate feelings you've experienced but haven't quite been able to explain…and you'll want to keep learning from him. I recommend his podcast interviews, which you can also find on this page.

text: I'm running 3.2E with the HBC and wiigator's backup loader gamma (thanks to djtaz' how to guide), no modchip or any weird software installed. I've burned two ISO files to Taiyo Yuden dvd-r discs at 2x speed with ImgBurn. One is Metroid Prime 3, the other is Wario Land Shake Dimension. MP3 runs great, haven't had any read errors (the one which tells you to look in the manual). Wario Land ran fine the first time i booted it up and I got through a couple levels, however now I keep getting read errors when I load my save game (it says loading, then the screen turns black and stays black untill the error pops up). When I start a new game the game gets stuck during the intro movie (somewhere near the end). Also the intro movie stutters alot, but I know thats a common thing with the backuploader. Anyway, I'm wondering what went wrong, both ISO's came from the same source and I used WiiBrickBlocker on both of them. Wario Land has been tested with gamma (link) and it seems to "play perfectly". Any suggestions? TIA. PS: Also wondering if someone could define a "1:1" backup. I mainly get my ISO's from "notorious sources".

13 Oct Artist Spotlight – Glass Gardens Northwest
To Barbra Sanderson's eye, almost anything in the garden can become a work of glass art. She studies nature's patterns and shapes so she can interpret them into the unique, one-of-a-kind sculptural pieces of blown glass. She has created daisies, mushrooms, birds, carrots, radishes, yams, and pomegranates, and she's experimenting with peas in a pod in her latest designs.
Barbara's interest in glassblowing started when she was young, when her parents took her to see the New York Corning Glass Museum. She begged them to buy her a glass ornament – a piece that she still has today. That began a lifelong interest in glass art, which began in earnest in 1998 when she first tried glassblowing.
Originally from Canada, Barbara came to the US to study at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington, and at the Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle. Her first studio was in Bothell, and then she resettled her studio and gallery, Glass Gardens Northwest, in scenic Mukilteo, located just off the Mukilteo Speedway near the ferry.
Glass is a wonderful medium for garden art. It can be nearly every color in the rainbow, to compliment or contrast with garden foliage and flowers. Glass can shimmer and sparkle and catch the sun in a way metals and wood cannot. It can float on water, or glow with added lighting for a nighttime focal point. Glass flowers can be so realistic that when tucked among real flowers people often lean over to smell the fragrance – only to discover their eyes have been fooled by art that imitates nature.
Barbara loves the challenge of creating custom pieces for her clients. These have ranged from sculptures, lighting and even pond and fountain installations. Right now she is working on a steel and metal sculpture that will encircle a large evergreen tree. Sometimes clients call her to consult on how to artfully arrange the pieces they already own.
Glassblowing takes years of practice and many disappointments before learning how to master the molten glass. According to Barbara, the trickiest part is controlling the heat of the piece as it's being made – the molten glass in the furnace reaches 2060° F. Too much heat can cause it to collapse; not enough and the piece can crack and fall to the floor. There is also the application of precise heat to certain parts of the piece to create movement. Most of Barbara's pieces do not collect water inside them, so they are safe for year-round use.
Glass art from Glass Gardens Northwest has been used in a number of recent show gardens at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. Fancy Fronds, Greenstone Designs and Plantswoman Design have all used her glass for dramatic effect in their gardens.
Barbara's work also graces the entrance atrium of the US Bank Center in downtown Seattle. This installation won both the Judge's Award and the Excellence Award for the 2008 Plantscape Industry Alliance. Barbara's floats were featured on the cover of the June 2009 Better Homes & Gardens magazine, and the Sept/Oct edition of Fine Gardening featured her glass icicle lights.
Barbara feels so fortunate to be able to combine her love of glass designing and blowing with her love of gardening. When she's not in the studio she makes time to tend her own one-acre garden in Snohomish County, which she has been working on for six years. It has four smaller "rooms" and a larger open garden and vegetable area. There is a pond, a fountain and a concrete bench in the pet memorial garden. It's mostly a shady garden so Barbara enjoys working with shade-loving perennials.
Barbara will be exhibiting her beautiful glass pieces at the show in Booth # 1106 so be sure to stop by, or visit her website at http://nwf.gs/aalMJ5 or follow her on Facebook and on Twitter @glassgardensNW.

Another terrific series that did much to designate the last decade as a new golden age for dramatic television this week will come to an end. I'm speaking of Damages, the consistently chilling legal thriller starring Glenn Close as ruthless attorney Patty Hewes that began life in 2007 on FX, where it ran for three seasons before moving over to DirecTV for its final two.
I'll always think of Damages in the same company as the many other broadcast and basic cable series that made the first 10 years of this new millennium a remarkable time for advertiser-supported dramatic television. The other standouts during that time included NBC's The West Wing (which actually began in September 1999), ABC's Lost, CBS' The Good Wife, Fox's 24 and House, Friday Night Lights (which also migrated from its original home, on NBC, to DirecTV, where it ran for three seasons), FX's The Shield and Sons of Anarchy, AMC's Mad Men and Breaking Bad, TNT's The Closer and Syfy's Battlestar Galactica. Several have continued into the current decade, but many of them are gone, and others have end dates in sight. Regardless, they all blossomed during a time that ought to be remembered as one of the most extraordinary in television history. A few new gems (FX's Justified and AMC's The Walking Dead among them) have come along since then, yet I can't help but wonder: Will the decade we're in ultimately produce as much extraordinary drama as the one just passed, a ten-year period whose television output becomes even more humbling when one factors in such pay-cable accomplishments as Showtime's Dexter and HBO's The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and The Wire?
Damages did much to support my hindsight appreciation of TV drama in recent years. Powered by a narrative dynamic that often played with chronological exposition, it was an uncommonly complex and challenging show. There is no underestimating its impact, alone or in tandem with other sophisticated scripted fare. In fact, I cannot recall another development that did more to establish the aughts as a new golden age of television drama than the decision by an actress of Glenn Close's stature to star in a weekly dramatic series.
Close's move to series television in 2007 signaled more than a pop-cultural shift in smart entertainment away from the multiplex and onto smaller screens. It was also a key factor in the mid-decade popularity of mature women in leading series roles.
This column continues here.

Revolutionary "Under the Glass" Solution to Be Available First for Centron Meters From Itron
ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - November 23, 2010) - Infrax Systems, Inc., (OTCBB: IFXY), a global provider of unified Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility industries, announced today that it has entered into a Technical Information License Agreement with Itron, Inc, one of the largest smart grid meter manufacturers globally. At the conclusion of the qualification testing process, Infrax will have the ability to license the communications module to Itron, as well as sell the product as Itron compliant.
"Infrax selected Itron meters for the initial release of the Secure Network Interface Card due to their dominant position with the utilities we are working with," said Paul J. Aiello, CEO of Infrax. "Upon successful completion of our integration testing with Itron, utilities will have an option to extend the life of their existing AMR meters, and provide secure communications capabilities for both utility and home applications."
The License Agreement grants Infrax the right to design their Secure Network Interface Card and communications module for inclusion in Itron Centron meters. Itron has also provided Infrax with development tools and technical documentation to aid in this development.
The SNIC is the latest component announced for Infrax's Secure Intelligent Energy Platform. This next generation universal host interface board is an "under the glass" solution designed for use in any standards-based meter (Electric, Water, Gas). Based on a multiple processor design, the SNIC provides military grade encryption and wireless interface modules for HAN and WAN applications.

Security Firm: Russian Hackers Stole More than a Billion Passwords
Aug. 7, 2014
On Tuesday, a Milwaukee-based security company said it has uncovered a Russian hacker ring that has stolen 1.2 billion unique logon credentials (username and password pairs) in data breaches all over the world. Unlike the data breaches that affected organizations like Target and Neiman Marcus, the Russian ring called CyberVor ("Vor" means "thief" in Russian) did not target payment-card information. With so many logons, however, hundreds of millions of individuals could be vulnerable to scams like account takeover and identity theft.
Hold Security, which announced its discovery at the global data-security conference Black Hat (and, on its Website in conjunction with a marketing pitch for its identity-monitoring and breach-notification services), said a seven-month investigation found the CyberVor gang collected 4.5 billion records (more than one billion of them unique) from more than 420,000 Websites. The company said the gang used botnets to conduct "possibly the largest security audit ever," nabbing information from sites it found to be vulnerable. And, the list of affected Websites was not restricted to large companies.
"The CyberVors did not differentiate between small or large sites. They didn't just target large companies; instead, they targeted every site that their victims visited. With hundreds of thousands sites affected, the list includes many leaders in virtually all industries across the world, as well as a multitude of small or even personal Websites."

BlueVirgo Capital Management is marketing $106 million of bonds backed by tax-lien certificates on property in New Jersey and Florida, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency.
BlueVirgo 2015-1 will securitize some $83.5 million of property tax liens with balances of less than $70,000; the average tax lien balance is $21,444.
The structure also allows for an additional $20 million of tax liens on New Jersey properties to be added to the collateral pool during the first six months after the transaction's close. These purchases will be funded by an $18 million account that will be partially funded at closing from note proceeds and funded by collections post-closing.
Another account totaling $10 million at closing will be used to purchase subsequent tax liens on properties already subject to tax liens in the initial pool, as well as subsequent liens on properties purchased via the additional tax lien account.
Most of the tax liens in the pool, 78.2%, are on residential properties, but 21.4% of the pool is comprised of tax liens on commercial properties, 0.2% are tax liens on other property types, 0.1% of the pool are tax liens on industrial properties and 0.1% of the pool are tax liens on vacant land.
Kroll assigned AAA ratings to the notes, which mature on Dec. 15, 2022. Credit enhancement on the notes is comprised of over collateralization; cash reserve accounts, amounts in the additional and subsequent tax-lien accounts and excess spread.
Wells Fargo is the sole book runner on the deal.
Tax liens are given a statutory "super-priority" lien position that is superior even to a previously filed mortgage. Most of the tax liens purchased by BlueVirgo redeem during the initial redemption cycle, prior to becoming real estate owned; only 0.03% (by count) of tax liens purchased in New Jersey and Florida are on real estate owned property, according to the presale report.
If the tax liens become REO, BlueVirgo begins "a defined, systematic approach toward efficient foreclosure management so as to minimize the lag time associated with local municipality bureaucracy," the report states. "BlueVirgo utilizes the resources it has at hand to make sure maximum value is extracted from these properties, including engaging local brokers with REO expertise as well as marketing to local developers."
Since its inception in 2013, BlueVirgo has serviced a total of approximately $180.3 million of tax liens primarily in the states of New Jersey and Florida.

I have made many kahikatea soundboards with much success. The wood is light and tight grained, white to yellowish in colour, with surprising rigidity, producing a superb tone. Kahikatea is a lowland forest tree and New Zealand's tallest tree.
Looking good in Totara and Tawa stripes, laminated with Tawhai inside.
End view
Extremely attractive wood and very sought after, and only now available from old stocks as the Rewa rewa tree is mostly protected

Welschenrohr (French: Rosières) is a municipality in the district of Thal in the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland.
Welschenrohr is first mentioned in 1179 as Rore.[3] An important watch manufacturing place up to the 1960s, its economy was heavily affected by the late 1960s watch crisis. Now, its economy specializes in fine mechanics.
Welschenrohr has an area, as of 2009[update], of 12.99 square kilometers (5.02 sq mi). Of this area, 4.61 km2 (1.78 sq mi) or 35.5% is used for agricultural purposes, while 7.58 km2 (2.93 sq mi) or 58.4% is forested.

Over 1.5 million council home tenants have bought the home in which they were living from their local council – could you join them?
Back to top
Stewart Cork
/ 26 August 2016
Over 1.5 million council home tenants have bought the home in which they were living from their local council – could you join them?
You can currently apply to buy your council home if you have had any public sector landlord for 3 years.
The Right to Buy was introduced by the government back in 1980, and in the 35 years since over 1.5 million council home tenants have bought the home in which they were living from their local council.
Recently, the government has extended this to housing association tenants.
The original idea was that one's home is one's castle. As such, everyone should have the security that comes along with owning your own home.
The government offered to assist with this by allowing tenants to buy their council home, giving a discount against the market price to enable them to be able to afford the purchase.
This was a marketed as a win-win as it would generate revenue for the government through sales as well as reducing day to day running costs of social housing.
Avoid the six sneaky tricks estate agents might try
The 1980 Housing Act gave all council tenants had a right to buy their home providing they had lived in it for at least three years. This right has been in place since then, with the eligibility and discount varying over time.
You can currently apply to buy your council home if you have had any public sector landlord – which means a council, housing association or NHS trust – for 3 years.
Housing is a devolved political issue and Scottish MSPs voted to end the Right To Buy at the end of July 2016.
It is still active across the rest of the United Kingdom.
As of 2015, the UK government has been looking to extend the Right to Buy to housing association tenants.
These tenants may have already been eligible under certain circumstances – if their home had previously been a council home, or if it was built using certain government grants. However, the majority of tenants did not have this right.
Housing associations were initially resistant to the extension as they could potentially be forced to sell valuable assets, but they agreed a voluntary trial which allowed them some discretion over which properties would be available.
Five housing associations are part of this trial and a target of 600 homes was set.
Applications for the pilot are now closed, with the first sales starting to complete now.
How to get your children on the property ladder
The trial will be evaluated in September and some adjustments may be made to the scheme but it is expected to be rolled out to all housing association tenants in due course.
If this happens, all social housing tenants who meet the criteria will be able to buy their home at a discount on the market price, with the housing association receiving the full value to spend on building further social homes as the government providing the difference.
If you're one of these people, the discount you'll receive means that the mortgage and therefore the deposit required will be less than if you had to pay the full purchase price.
In other words, buying your own castle could be more affordable than you might think.

Hustler Video
Genre: Vignette / latina
Condoms: None
Director: Juan Casas
Length: 90 Minutes plus extras
Date Of Production: 9/9/2007
Cast: Renae Cruz (cover), Veronique Vega, Charley Chase, Laurie Vargas, & Aliana Love
Special Features: As with most Hustler titles, you get a decent amount of extras. The best is a 35+ minute behind the scenes featurette that shows how much work really goes into making an Adult movie. You also get the standard photo gallery, trailers (Hustler and VCA), web links, and Hustler sex talk ads.
Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in an anamorphic widescreen format as shot by director Juan Casas. Hustler usually has adequate video quality and that is the case here. There were relatively few compression artifacts during the movie, and no pixilation. The color of the film was also decent, with the flesh tones all looking warm and realistic. Plenty of natural and artificial lighting was used so pesky shadows were never a concern. The audio was the standard 2.0 stereo, but much like the video its quality was adequate. There was no background music during the action.
Scene 1 - Renae. Renae is a very slender Latina with her long, dark, curly hair and big brown eyes. Not wasting any time as soon as the scene begins we see Renae sucking dick out by the pool. While on all four Rena's mouth takes a vicious pummeling for almost five minutes. As good as she normally looks, Renae looks even better with a cock crammed down her throat. The couple knocks boots in a few positions before switching to more oral action. With her pussy and mouth worn out and ravaged, Renae takes a sloppy blast of jizz right to the face and forehead. At the very end of the scene a fake cock comes out and shoots Renae with loads of fake cum. Very intense scene.
Scene 2 - Aliana. The second scene stars Aliana a fresh-faced brunette with a tight little body. Aliana is joined by her well-hung costar outside on the back patio. They exchange a few words and before you know it Aliana is in the van ripping off her clothes. Her pussy gets fingered for a few minutes before we get the pleasure of watching Aliana suck cock. The camera got plenty of close-ups of Aliana's oral skills. She gets violated in all your typical positions before the climactic ending - Aliana gets her face covered in a thick layer of man gravy. Once again the fake cock squirts on Aliana. My favorite scene on the disc.
Scene 3 - Veronique. Veronique is a long-haired Latina with a real wild side. The scene opens with Veronique sitting on the edge of a bath tub while her man stands over her. A few seconds pass before Veronique dives down to give him a nasty blowjob. Veronique gets her smooth pussy licked before the real action begins. They start to fuck in the missionary position when they stop and switch to cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, and doggy style. Veronique's cooch took such a pounding I bet she had to sit on a block of ice when the scene was over. A standard cumshot to the face ends the scene. The infamous fake cock reappears and drenches Veronique.
Scene 4 - Charley. Next up is a typical young Latina girl named Charley. She starts things off playfully sucking her man's meat stick. Gradually the blowjob builds in intensity and by the end Charley is practically swallowing him. They start banging in the doggy style position followed by a few more positions. Charley shows so much energy and enthusiasm it will make your head spin - constant moaning and groaning. As you might expect the scene ends with Charley taking a load to the face that leaves her looking like a glazed donut. Of course the fake cock gives Charley a few final squirts.
Scene 5 - Laurie. Last up is another brunette cutie named Laurie. After kissing her boyfriend for a few seconds she dives right down and starts to polish his knob. I think that Laurie might just be the best looking girl on the disc; her long dark hair and big eyes make her a winner. After performing some intense oral on her man, Laurie's ass gets violated in all the standard positions (missionary, cowgirl, doggy style, and reverse cowgirl). The action was upbeat and energetic with plenty of chemistry between them. Laurie gulps down both loads of man chowder at end of the scene. You guessed it; the fake cock makes its final appearance.

Message from Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay
Postal Vote on Marriage
"The truth does not change with time. The truth withstands social changes and trends."
Dear Friends,
Over the last few weeks you have read, heard and received a lot of messages from individuals, agencies and organisations about the postal vote regarding the amendment of the marriage act to allow same-sex marriage. Some of these messages may appear politically correct, ambiguous and confusing, or telling you to exercise your conscience. Well, let me tell you very clearly: your Christian conscience and duty, should tell you, beyond any reasonable doubt, to vote NO. There is no room for ambiguity or confusion and this is no time for political correctness. Your NO is enshrined in the history of humanity over millions of years and in the Church's teachings about family and marriage. It confirms 2000 years of these teachings. The truth does not change with time. The truth withstands social changes and trends.
I recently came across this very suitable quote from Rick Warren:
"Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."
Our friends with same-sex attraction deserve our love, our respect and our compassion. We disagree with their lifestyle but we are not homophobes or bigots. It's okay to vote NO. We are capable of loving them without believing in what they do. Jesus himself did it on the cross: he forgave and loved those who disagreed with him, persecuted and killed him. And if Jesus did it, then we HAVE to do it, because "No disciple is above his master" (Matt 10:24).
Dear friends, the challenge is big and these are hard times but I call you to fight the good fight, spread the word, and stand for the Truth. And our Christian truth has a capital T because it is not an ideology or concept; it is a person, the person of Jesus Christ himself, an eternal and everlasting Truth.

Well I completed Tatty Teddy at about 3pm, so backstitching took around 6ish hours. *I really do detest TT backstitch!* I was very good and pretty much stuck to the pattern rather than make it up with was very very tempting at times! The completion of Tatty Teddy also completes my Christmas stitching for 2010!! =)
Went out and bought a mount for 'Wine A Bit', however it is fractionally to big for the frame so I shall have to trim it slightly on Monday after dad has gone to work (it's his christmas present)
Have started stitching on Halloween Fairy again, I don't think I will get her finished tonight but I am aiming to finish the actual cross stitch part of it so that I can do the backstitching of her head and finish the beading off on Sunday as i am out in Milton Keynes tomorrow and out in the evening for a friend's birthday.
Didn't manage to get onto Halloween Short Stack as I have been trying to finish Halloween Fairy off first as it's the older of the two projects. These are now the only two projects I have left in my workbag meaning I will most likely reach my goal of ending the year without any outstanding UFO's or WIP's!!

In August 2016, Drips & Swirls introduced charcoal soft serve ice cream to L.A. Yes, that's right- this is where the charcoal soft serve originated in the city. The four owners- DJ, David, Roger, and Sunny, are extremely proud in delivering high quality products to their customers which all flavors and cones are handcrafted with pure thoughtfulness. Their frozen treat is made with real milk and with zero artificial binders, powders, or shortcuts. All flavors are inspired by their Korean and American background as well as elements from their childhood. Each cone is made with love and decorated with nostalgia.
One of the owners, DJ, has been infatuated with ice cream since childhood and it's only appropriate that he became the chef at Drips & Swirls. He created two staple flavors and constantly formulates new and innovative flavors to rotate throughout the week.
For the first staple, DJ opted in making a non-traditional vanilla flavor since he wanted to create something unique. His drive to create something new paved way for the first Charcoal Crispy Rice soft-serve in L.A. It took DJ about seven months to perfect this signature flavor. The textures are smooth with mild toasty and sweet flavors. DJ dedicated the second staple, Melona, to his mom since she loved the Korean Melon Bars. If you ever had one of these bars, you will quickly know that their Melona flavor taste exactly like it. In addition to these flavors, DJ also develops rotating flavors such as Haute Cheetoh, Mango Pop, Fig with Toasted Brioche, Chocolate Pretzel, Captain Crunch, and Thai Tea.
The owners at Drips & Swirls strives to provide a comfortable space for their visitors. Most importantly, they truly want to provide 100% handcrafted soft serve ice creams for a reasonable price. There is no exaggeration when they say that their products are completely made from scratch. They embody their slogan – "ALL FLAVOR. NO GIMMICKS" Many tasks are done by manual labor- from soaking the rice in to the base, crisping the rice, buying the melons at the farmers markets, dehydrating the fresh melons, extracting flavors, composing the cone batter, and the list goes on and on. They even close every Monday to use the time to create fresh batches of soft serves for the week.
The soft serves at Drips & Swirls are one of a kind. My favorite flavors were the Charcoal Crispy Rice and Captain Crunch. I absolutely loved their ice cream cones because it was light and it had the rice cracker flavors that I remembered as a kid. 🙂 If you are in L.A, I highly recommend to try them.
Address: 3076 W 8th St, Los Angeles, CA 90005
Fun Facts:
- There's a witty reason why DJ created Charcoal Crispy Rice as the first flavor. As mentioned in the beginning, all their flavors are inspired by elements of childhood. In the past, he would eat a plethora of Ben & Jerry ice cream until his stomach hurt, which he would then cure with activated charcoal medicine. When it was time to create his very own soft serve, it made sense for DJ to include activated charcoal in it.
- DJ does his best to recycle all ingredients. For example, after the rice is filtered from ice cream base, it is then used to make their rice cones.
- David is in charge of marketing and interior design. Sunny and Roger are in charge of management logistics.

Jeff Masson, who manages the Sea Shop at the Shedd Aquarium, saw something that made him really like his job. Walking along the lakefront were a woman and her little daughter; the mother had bought one of the store`s souvenir plastic sharks along with a book on sharks.
``She used the plastic shark to hold the kid`s interest while she read to her from the book,`` Masson says. ``That made me feel good: I hope that sort of thing goes on all the time.``

Spikes and studs are going nowhere. So toughen up your nails with Andrea Fulerton Gold Nail Studs (£5.99).
Studded shirts, spiked shoes and biker boots are ubiquitous in the Autumn/Winter 2012 wardrobe so why not try the trend on your nails too? A simple and low cost way to wear the stud trend.
I know, I know, I've done quite a few posts on nail art recently, but it's just so quick to do now with all these great kits that are out!
These gorgeous studs are super easy to use. Paint your nails as normal, and simply stick on to the damp varnish and leave to dry as normal. The kit comes with a little pen that you pick the studs up on before placing them on your nails, I'd recommend having a little pot of water too as it's easier to pick the studs up when you slightly dampen the end of the pen.
I did my nails in a bit of a rush as I was far too excited to try these studs out, there are so many different designs you could try out, I quite like the simple one line of studs, I've also seen someone with a cross on there nails in studs too which looks really good.
Will you be trying this trend?
