From the author of the best-selling Mindfulness: Be Mindful. Live in the Moment, Emotional Intelligence is fast becoming the skill to master that will unlock your true potential.
You've probably noticed that it's not the smartest people that are the most successful or the most fulfilled in life; being clever, talented, or skilled is not enough. It's your ability to manage your feelings, other people and your interactions with them that makes the difference. We're all born with this ability - emotional intelligence is a skill and we all have the capacity to develop this skill.
This book will show you how. It will change the way you think about emotions. Instead of thinking of emotions as being positive or negative, you will learn that all emotions have a positive intent - all emotions have our best interests in mind.
Improve your emotional intelligence and you improve your ability to understand and manage emotions. You can think clearly and creatively, manage stress and challenges, communicate well with others and display trust, empathy, and confidence. You will be in a better position to handle situations, events and other people that in the past you've found difficult or stressful.
Emotional Intelligence will show you how to heighten your EQ and improve your personal and work life. You can learn how to be more assertive and confident; to express how you feel, what you want and don't want; understand what others are feeling and forge stronger relationships; manage office politics and navigate the social complexities of the workplace; manage anxiety, anger and disappointment; deal with bullying and inspire others!

"Very Basic"
Perhaps the error is mine. Perhaps I selected the wrong book. I was looking for something deeper. This book offers beginners a framework for the theories on emotional intelligence but it does not offer any substance on how to use these concepts in difficult circumstances.
Only to a person who was not familiar with the ground work and terminology used to understand and describe basic emotional intelligence. I would not recommend it to anyone who understood the framework but needed guidance in maintaining emotional health in times of true adversity.
Karen's voice was very pleasant to listen to.
It was a good reminder of what I already know.
A good overview of the elements of emotional intelligence with sound, easy to understand examples.
"Great insight!"
Very powerful words and thought provoking. The book itself helps you to look into your inner self and rediscover your "Passions" and true emotions and how to manage and not suppress. Very good read.
"Food for thought😄👍"
I really enjoyed listening to this book and have learnt so much about my feelings and emotions. The readers voice was perfect ! Very good at expressing the words without going over the top and the pace of her reading was perfect ...& she had a lush voice !!😄
"Thought provoking"
Really good tips in how to engage and think through challenges. Practical examples and clear messaging.
"Injection of positive thinking."
If you're seeking self-discipline and an understanding of your emotions to better manage day-to-day relationships with work colleagues and social circle of friends this book is for you. The author explores different layers of emotions through which teaches the reader various ways of coping in stressful situations and how to exercise logic when feelings take over. Despite this book being short and going through the familiar techniques it's still worth a listen to remind anyone how to be a better and bigger person.
Karen Cass did a good job with the narration. Her calm voice allows the reader to concentrate without unnecesary distractions.

Vienna Travel Blog› entry 7 of 81 › view all entries
December 28th, 1997 – by: jegs76
One of the weirdest trains i rode. It seems to be an underground monster or a huge worm when you are standing at the platform and when a Vienna underground train is enterring the station. You see in the tunnel only the lights - they make you feel like a smal creature just a second befor being eaten by a huuuge worm.
The lights seem to be the white teeth of that strange monster - and cuz they are very strong the drivers switch them out while in station.
Maybe it's only me, but i liked that feeling of monster in the tunnel. The new trains that Vienna has bought lately are not as cute as the older ones.
Another nice story of the metro - here it's called U-Bahn - is the one about sleeping on the subway train. We (me and one mate) have choosen the longest line - U6 - to take some rest and since we havn't slept at night (don't ask for reason - it's too much to explain and a theme to another blog) we were about to have a nice one-hour-train-sleep. This was what we did: we rode to the terminus changed direction and we felt asleep...
Then, after more than one hour we woke up. there was nobody on the train. We were inside the tunnel, the light were switched out and only the slight tunnel lightening gave us something more than the darkness. Hm... hey mate, what are we gonna do? We tryed to open the door (now i'm asking:what for? There were other trains passing by, so there were not much place to walk to the nearest station even if we could) but we couldn't force it.
After some 10 minutes we saw a man passing by on the tracks. We were knocking at the windows like crazy to make him see us. And he did. He stopped, looked at two funny guys inside the dark train, smiled and he made a sign 'O.K.' and 'calm down' showed his clock with the finger and then showed us his three fingers (so we understood in 3 minutes we will be saved) then he left and so we were waiting. After another few minutes the lights on the train were switched on again and the train went back to its regular route. the passangers were a bit confused when they saw us sitting already inside, at the very first staion of this line.

But can it be avoided? I am curious, what do you need this for? I've been think the past month or more that it would be good to either add options to ls(1) or chmod(1) to output the current file modes in octal or create another simple tool to do it. It really seems like some stat(1) tool should exist that could be used like: $ stat -mn /etc/passwd 100644 $ stat -m /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d : 40755 > All comments are welcome: especially permission parsing and suggestion > for the name.

Morning revealed a promising crop of small nectarines. In the sunken soft fruit patch the blackcurrants looked well but the gooseberries have failed to thrive on the benign neglect of our intermittent residential regime. Another season of international comparative crop-testing lies ahead with my import of a seedling tray of Dodger Norris's Eurobeans. His runner beans flourished here last year and cropped better than plants of the same batch grown in Tetbury. Dodger was delighted with the international success of his beans and told me their history: over 50 years ago his father had bought a packet of Scottish seed, since when Dodger has selected the strongest and most vigorous seeds to be the genes of the following year's crop. To the French neighbours, who grow the dwarf bean, they represent an exotic import, climbing six foot and boasting red flowers.
On the bay before us, the little white egret was observed in a group of four picking over the exposed mud at low water. The curlew, with its wonderful song, did not appear on this visit but such is the richness of the mud flats as a food source they will surely return.

That's what I have so far, but my results are completely reversed from what the problem my professor gave me described.Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
//Class definition
public class Bits {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// declare
int n;
int rem;
// User input
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
n = in.nextInt();
// Calculate
while (n > 0) {
System.out.print(rem = n % 2);
n = n / 2;
For example, if the input is 244, you should get 11110100, whereas I get 00101111. Keep in mind I didn't even know how binary worked before this problem so I wouldn't be surprised if my program isn't all that accurate to what I should have. Also, he says my result should be a string not an int. I don't really understand how that works...
Edit, I think my binary is correct. He wants the most significant bits on the left though.

Valve Radio
- Artist: Nicole DeFino
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 9/27/2005
|your cart is empty
On her 16th birthday, Nicole was presented with a guitar. That was the day it all began. Nicole has been writing songs ever since. Unlike a large amount of current bands, Nicole doesn't sing to impress people with cute, trite, fabricated songs; she sings from the heart. Every song is sincere and loaded with emotion, and she really tries to make you feel where she's coming from. That's what music should be about. Her music has been influenced by: Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Neil Young, Jewel, Mike Nesmith, Kevin Hearn & Thin Buckle, and just about everything else. The music does not try to imitate these artists, but improve upon a structure they've set forth. Nicole's music is very enjoyable becuase it comes from everyday events. These are the songs that you wish you wrote, because you know you've felt it at some point or another.

Eyelet voiles are rare, but just like eyelet lined curtains, the style and elegance they display are the same. The symmetrical wave effect they give really gives your window that designer finish. Eyelet panels can be considered as the most elegant heading for voile panels. Net curtains or voiles have a unique way of giving your windows a elegant look during the day. Windows without nets really give the room a 'cold and unwelcoming' appearance.
Our range consists of mainly plains at the moment, but the popularity and demand for these curtains is so great that we shall be stocking other patterns and finished very soon. In the meatime if you want to use our bespoke service, please email the sales team for further information.
Eyelet voile curtains can only be used with curtain poles. Most curtain poles less than 30mm in diamter should be suitable.
What is the difference between nets and voiles? To be honest none really in today's market. In our opinion voiles have been introduced to the mainstream as a marketing term to move away from the old look sheers.

"Knowledge management" has become a crucial subject and, obviously, sharing information and knowledge in organizations has never been any more important. We found two concepts answering the question of "how should knowledge sharing be, particularly, in design processes of manufacturing?" through discussions with several makers: "Forming and sharing design process" and "Sharing documents and data in design process". To implement these concepts, we suggest a method of describing processes as workflow using ShareFast system and managing documents by relating them to the workflow. Workflow in ShareFast is intended to help people in organizations understand the operation processes and flexible for changes of the processes. This method is useful not only in manufacturing but also in the domains of education and office work and so on other than manufacturing.
ShareFast has been developed through knowledge management research in Design Engineering Laboratory, The University of Tokyo. This project was adopted as one of "Exploratory Software Project" in the second half of 2005 by Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA), Japan.
ShareFast is a client/server web application for managing files and data using RDF metadata on Jena framework as Semantic Web in organizations. Server software is to manage document while client software is to edit /browse workflow and search/browse documents. ShareFast also provides full-text search by ApacheLucena and blog-like discussion space, which is needed in general document management software or groupware.
Users can draw workflow by selecting item from toolbar and locate it in field. Node property can be edited.
Workflow, selected in hierarchy, is displayed in right pane. Users know the process by it, and get the related documents by clicking each task in it.
to the top
For Knowledge Management System
ShareFast can make the business process visible by using workflow, and can relate knowledge documents with each task that composes the process. Moreover, this system has the search engine to retrieve the documents related to each task. So, ShareFast can be used as a knowledge management system in the business.
Support various type of documents
- Documents on ShareFast Server
- Documents on Windows File Server
- Lotus Notes Documents
- Web Pages
For Creating Information Sharing Environment
ShareFast supports development of information sharing environment for small groups or laboratories, which makes sharing documents or papers comfortable. Documents and files can be registered by drag and drop, and full-text search and similar documents search are provided.
For Educational System
ShareFast can be used as a design education support system by writing down the design process into the workflow, and relating the calculation tool needed there with each design task that composes this workflow. Such use is effective to the design education for students at the university and young engineers in manufacturing.
For Design Support System
It is also possible to use ShareFast to support the designer's work by using it together with various industrial software (CAM, CFD, FEM, etc.). ShareFast provides the designer with some calculation tools or the knowledge documents. By operating various industrial software while referring to those provided knowledge, the designer comes to be able to proceed the design work more efficiently.to the top

I started WoW just before I began working fulltime again. I played SWTOR for 18 months before that whilst taking a sabbatical from work. I never missed stuff in that game. Was online a lot. Now I log in daily but in 6 months I've played the game, I've taken two one month breaks and generally just stuck to one character. A (former) friend of mine in that time got himself 3 550+ers but with time restrictions I just cannot commit to that.
Initially it irked me, but now I just enjoy other aspects of the game. I keep gearing my main however I can but I augment my love for the world by not playing more but reading the books when relaxing and listening to the music at work. Much less pressured and I don't need to deprive myself of sleep in order to keep running the gear race.
I'm in a guild that has schedules to suit me but not the interest in meeting those schedules so it rarely works out. I don't mind. I just crack on. It feels good besides the times when free time is made for raiding that then gets used up spontaneously by something else to fill the void.

text: Marc Mariani hasn't played a down of regular-season football in almost two years, but with every mistake the Titans make in the return game, his value seems to be increasing. His contract runs out after this season, but it sounds like he's still in the team's plans for the future. That's no surprise, given the slew of bad decisions and turnovers that have plagued the return game. The latest hiccup occurred in Thursday's loss to Indianapolis, when new return man Devon Wylie fumbled a kick return early in the second half. The Colts recovered and went on to score a touchdown. "He is definitely a guy we want to be part of this organization," coach Mike Munchak said Friday of Mariani, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2010. "When you go through periods like we're going through, inconsistency at the position, you realize the value — even more — of someone who has been consistent when he's had the opportunities." Munchak said he had no regrets about placing Mariani, who suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason, on injured reserve. The Titans had a couple other options — keep him on the 53-man roster and waiting until he was healthy, or placing him on injured reserve/recall and activating him after eight weeks. Teams are only allowed to use injured reserve/recall on one player per year, however. "For me at the time, and even now, he wasn't healthy enough to be the answer," Munchak said. "So it wouldn't have mattered." Mariani, who missed all of 2012 after breaking a leg in the preseason, said he's already looking forward to next year if he can get a new contract. "Things are going really well and I feel really good," Mariani said. "I have every intention of playing here. This is the organization I want to play for. That's my focus and I'm excited about it. I think things will fall into place." Share on Facebook Posted In: Team News Source: Titans Insider

In a age where rap is truly a form of Art rather than the stories of ones life is a TRUE BOSS. Ross should write a book. #GreatStoryTeller
By: DatDude03.05.2013 @ 5:30 AM
I could care less if he's "fake". Ross' music is great entertainment which is all any type of music is and rap should be no different.
By: 614grind03.05.2013 @ 9:02 AM
Ross is a horrible story teller. He has no plot structure. A story has a protagonist, an antagonist, and an awareness moment that leads to some sort of transformation. Rick Ross always wins without resistance in his raps. He illustrates the same tired scene of this untouchable mob boss figure who never fails at anything. Add that to the fact that he's a fraud and you have a trash artist. Nas, Andre 3000, Slick Rick, Ghost and Rae, Em, and Common are examples of real storytellers.

Alot of it is Mint in Mint Box and the whole collection is worth over £8000, however I need to raise around £6000. Anyone have any suggestions of the best place to sell apart from Ebay? I am Glasgow based and would be interested to hear your suggestions, or if you knew of anybody interested in buying a huge collection? Thanks.

While there are already a large number of computer case manufacturers on t he market, it is always interesting to look at a newcomer. The market is dominated by a few companies, like Thermaltake, CoolerMaster, and Antec, but a number of other companies seem to think that there is room in the ma rket for more. The competition in the aluminum case market can be especi ally tough. The market is loomed over by big name producers like Lian Li and SilverStone, with Thermaltake controlling much of the low end and hig h style aluminum cases. The subject of this review is the Aluminus enclo sure from Ultra Products. Initially it is not clear whether this case is trying to compete with its style, performance, or price, but we will be t aking a close look to see how well Ultra did.

I load up Malware Bytes or Super Anti Spyware or some other reputable Anti-Malware program, boot into safe mode, and do a scan of the whole PC.
Is it I, or anti malware developers, they are sending the message to? Because I certainly don't want to leave an inch of the computer unchecked.
If you trust a single byte on the possibly-infected disk, you're not scanning for viruses: You're asking pretty please for the virus to show itself. Most are polite enough, but why take the chance? Use a known-clean read-only media to boot from, and scan the entire drive.
I agree - sometimes I get called over because of an "Error" - and I just head over right after work. Turns out the Error is Malware, I didn't bring my LiveCD, what can I do? A majority will get by with safe mode scans. There are those particularily nasty ones though, and as you said, boot from CD, or set it up as a slave drive with the proper security measures.
Sounds like it's time for the Avira AntiVir Rescue System [free-av.com].
--- Mr. DOS
That's why I keep a stack of livecds in my trunk, next to the jack, and an ISO on my keychain in case the CDs warped in the sun.
Lately, most of my relatives have upgraded enough they can boot from USB.
boot into safe mode, and do a scan of the whole PC
Safe mode will do nothing to keep malware from loading at this point....
Get a WinPE Distro like http://www.ubcd4win.com/ [ubcd4win.com]
To all the people suggesting PE discs - what AV do you use? The vast majority simply do not work in a preboot environment. The ones that do tend to be old versions, which are about as helpful in removing real threats as a dull knife.
In my experience, the overwhelming majority of viruses are removed by MalwareBytes in safe mode. The ones that aren't leave signs that MalwareBytes can detect (infections it can't delete or that reappear, etc.) The paranoid can confirm with a packet sniffer.
If you really wan
To all the people suggesting PE discs - what AV do you use? The vast majority simply do not work in a preboot environment. The ones that do tend to be old versions, which are about as helpful in removing real threats as a dull knife.
You can use the included driverpacks app to include most LAN/WAN drivers and then use an online scanner if you like or you can install PE to a USB disk and install any Antivirus program you like.
In my experience, the overwhelming majority of viruses are removed by MalwareBytes in safe mode.
In my experience those people come back 3 days later with the same virus. MalwareByte's runs in PE now, as does SuperAntiSpyware and HijackThis and a number of Antivirus programs.
get a USB => IDE/SATA adapter from newegg. Pop out the hard drive and hook it up to a clean machine. Mount the registry hives using regedit, and do a scan with your favorite AV product. No relying on a potentially rooted machine, and no relying on an old/gimped AV product that works in a preboot environment.
That works or you can just use an PE Disk [ubcd4win.com] which will auto load your hives for you.
Then you can run which ever programs you want like Malwa
Use Avira AntiVir Rescue System [free-av.com] to get the system into a state where it can boot into Safe Mode, then finish off with MBAM [malwarebytes.org] and possibly SmitFraudFix [geekstogo.com].
--- Mr. DOS
It's more than just that. Super Anti Spyware needs to be set to scan all files (all files greater than it's predefined size, and all files of all types). MalwareBytes does not need a settings change.
Most other software either is not configurable (depending on version) or is configured to only scan "infectable" files.
My personal experience of late is that I have seen many "non-infectable" files infected such as images, text documents, "unknown" document types, and so on. When I install any AV or AS softw
Bart PE is a good way to do this. You create a cd on a different computer and use it to scan your suspect PC.
And relevant they are.
This week: six different local 'family' machines needed junk scraped from them by yours truly, the tech support guy. Why? They didn't understand about renewing their AV subscriptions-- and got infected. Does Microsoft have something inherent in Windows, native to the OS, that prevents contamination? No. Do their products distribute freely with uptodate malware and virus prevention and thwarting? No. Users have to dig for them, install them, and hope that Microsoft's protection is suffi
Helping virus writers? Don't virus writers target the lowest-hanging fruit: the average Joe?
Joe sure as hell doesn't read the Microsoft Knowledge Base, let alone knows of its very existence! Let's be realistic, here.
Joe Sixpack does not read the Microsoft KB, true. However, he pays the highest price for the malware problem as you point out. The bickering between Microsoft and AV vendors does at least indirectly affect him. Now, I'd assume that Microsoft would be the foremost expert on Windows for obv
Even if there were a Final Ultimate Security Solution for Windows
My MS Rep told me Windows 7 WAS that???
Heck as a 27 year old Marine it makes for some fun reading and something to browse for while at work.
It's as easy to put your malwars in a secure place as it is to put in "my documents", and would be more effective in a "secure" place. If I were writing/spreading malware I'd be hiding it where AV software doesn't look.
After all, the lowest hanging fruit would be unpatched machines with no AV at all.
Microsoft doesn't have any real business interest in secure machines.
Their reputation is secure among the believers no matter what they do, and their reputation is un-redeemable among those who are not Microsoft believers. They have enough money to buy the hype necessary to cover anything up, relative to the people who spend the most on Microsoft software.
Shoot, the, "I can't be such a fool!" syndrome helps Microsoft's bottom line when people have to pay to fix Microsoft's bugs.
No, this makes no sense. Sayi
Ok, so buried somewhere in the middle of an online support page about some potential file type exclusions MS mentions:
Ok first, I have to assume that most computer users will never see this. I am not concerned that the next time I see my parents computers that they'll have set up file type exclusions.
Second, if you're excluding file types from scanning, those are probably good one to exclude. These are files that have contents that are constantly changing and are not generally executable.
Third, this stinks of "Hey listen to us! Then buy our antivirus."
"Following the recommendations does not pose a significant threat as of now" But it may some day? Well no shit, doesn't that go for everything?
Am I missing something? Is this a ridiculous strech just to bash Microsoft or something? How is this an important read?
Only Windows Media Player accepts executable code at the end of a video. Most other media players still do not do that so they are not susceptible to that attack. With the Outlook image thing, it's actually a VBS file with the
Keep telling your users that. Tell them that QuickTime is just fine. (along with Acrobat reader, while they are at it).. And no 3rd party media players have ever had buffer overflow problems...
then there was the whole Image thing.. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-039.mspx [microsoft.com] makes it sound a little more serious than just murking with the file-name.
Ahh, remember the 90's, when people would forward chain mails about how even looking at an email with a certain subject would wipe your entire hard drive? And then how us IT people would have to tell people that it was okay, that reading emails was fine, they were just text, just never, ever execute an attachment you weren't expecting...
Then outlook got real popular in companies...
Course, they also used to forward chain mails about "if you forward this to 10 people, Bill Gates would send you $200." and we
and we would have to tell them that emails can't be tracked like that..
You were wrong!! I can't believe you missed that opportunity!!!1 I just received a check from Bill Gates c/o Microsoft Corp. in Redmond, Washington for $1,689.34. It's works! But if you don't forward this to all your friends, someone from Microsoft will come around to collect what you owe!
Course, they also used to forward chain mails about "if you forward this to 10 people, Bill Gates would send you $200." and we would have to tell them that emails can't be tracked like that.. Of course, with 1x1 images in emails now.. they can..
Actually, the majority of mail clients now won't load images from remote servers. Tracking email was much more effective in the Windows 9x days than it is now.
Meh... I think the problem is that about fifteen-some-odd years ago, Microsoft decided against all convention that storing auto-executable code and scripts inside data files was a great idea.
Now a days I would not put it past a crafty virus maker to exploit flaws in notepad...
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2008/Jan/339 [seclists.org]
Yes it is a joke, but a funny one!
The MS Article also gives specific recommendations for domain controllers and servers, which make good sense as well. The files they list include startup scripts and GPOs which get heavy use. AV can induce severe problems if it kept locking the files. On the flip side, you should keep an eye on those files as a compromise (not necessary a generic detectable virus) could compromise your entire domain. Also note that you should exclude the database files on an Exchange server. Aside from the huge performance hit, you really don't want the a/v software deleting or screwing up the entire exchange store if it sees a virus buried way down in a single email.
If your AV software is killing your Exchange database then you should be fired for running it. All the relevant AV vendors provide Exchange integration. I've seen NT 4 boxes with it (it's not new).
Home editions are for home computers not for your business' servers. Get the AV package that says "server" on it.
Okay, hop off that pedestal of superior knowledge for a moment. There are a lot of small businesses running exchange. A significant portion of whom are running consumer or small-business versions of antivirus including those intended for servers. Now realize that their IT guy is usually only part time and probably not an expert. A recipe for disaster I know, but small businesses can't devote much resources to IT.
As for antivirus vendors, Symantec Endpoint Protection client for servers installs just fine an
Whose to say that the malware doesn't have an executable renamed to a have a log extension, and the antiviruse skips over it. How trivial would it be to have a loader that does nothing except load "safe" files and do its bad things under the cloak of "but its a log file.... it should be safe".
Excluding any files on the computer is a bad thing, and needs to be discouraged.
So if you manage to get an executable onto the system, you can then use it to execute a malicious payload hidden in a seemingly innocuous file?
If I can get an executable on the system, I have already compromised your security. Why bother with a hidden payload at that point?
i didn't read the article or the KB but from the types you have listed - first thing came to mind.
edb/sdb belong to exchange stores - log is common but also used for transaction longs and chk if i remember right is used when rebuilding from TL's or doing an offline defrag.
given the type of shit thats in mailboxes and queues and that it isn't executable - sure stuff is there but not a risk.
then given the normal actions of AV software (hey i found shit in this file -remove handles deny access - hey u
Yeah, in exchange's case what you need is something that hooks into the databases and scans the mail directly. Scanning a database as a virus just isn't going to work. It's like a zip file with a virus inside. You can scan the zip file and it'll pass. You need to look inside to figure out if you're safe.
Third, this stinks of "Hey listen to us! Then buy our antivirus."
It's an antivirus vendor blog FFS, what did you expect?
Why do so many of them end up as front-page stories? Don't ask me.
Am I missing something? Is this a ridiculous strech just to bash Microsoft or something? How is this an important read?
The entire idea of scanning for signatures is what's ridiculous. This broken model of ring-based security is what's ridiculous. Buy into those ideas and yeah, it would make sense then to exclude certain file types.
What's needed is something like Tripwire, built into a bootable flash drive and Microsoft (and other vendors) releasing hashes of their files. But it's easier to do reactive security than proactive security -- and by easier I mean shoving the costs onto the consumers. At least then we could verify
The entire idea of scanning for signatures is what's ridiculous. This broken model of ring-based security is what's ridiculous. Buy into those ideas and yeah, it would make sense then to exclude certain file types.
I don't think that ring-based security is broken merely because Microsoft and developers of most Windows software refuse to utilize the principle of least-privilege. OpenBSD uses the ring-based security of modern processors to great effect.
OpenBSD uses the ring-based security of modern processors to great effect.
True, but then OpenBSD was designed with security in mind from the ground up.
True, but then OpenBSD was designed with security in mind from the ground up.
No, it's just really well audited and minimally configured to the point of uselessness by default.
If it was designed "with security in mind from the ground up", it wouldn't have a superuser and it sure as hell wouldn't be using the archaic user/group/other security model of traditional UNIX.
Maybe Microsoft should just say: Vista and Windows 7 are so secure there is no point in scanning anything. As these OSs are safe because of UAC
You mean like DEC [wikipedia.org] helped to write the first computer virus in the world?
The blog points out that edb.chk and *.log files should be excluded. These files are used by the ESE/ESENT database engine (used by the Active Directory, Exchange Server, Windows Desktop Search, etc.) for database recovery and contain a list of physical database updates, in binary form. Historically the problem has been that these files can contain almost any byte sequence so virus checkers would start flagging them as infected and quarantine them, breaking database recovery. This can be particularily nefarious for Exchange Server because mailing an infected file as an attachment causes the same bytes to appear in the logfiles. If a virus checker quarantines the logfile then database recovery can be broken -- a neat DOS attack.
As the logfiles aren't executable, but can contain any byte sequence there isn't any benefit to checking the files, but a lot of damage can be done by 'repairing' or quarantining them.
But by the same logic, I could write a virus that hides itself in files called edb.chk and mail.log and keep the code that a virus scanner would find in there. Then just load that into memory from some stub program.
That's what the article is warning about.
Any such stub program that loads random binary code from a non-executable file and executes it would likely be identified as a virus itself by any decent AV scanner.
But by the same logic, I could write a virus that hides itself in files called edb.chk and mail.log and keep the code that a virus scanner would find in there.
This virus brought to you by the Dept. of Redundancy Department.
You also don't want to check any intensively accessed files in general. It can add a lot of overhead if the thing is being continually accessed by many different users/processes.
For example on my system I have excepted EWI and EWS files from checking. Those files are the instruments and samples for the virtual instruments I use. The reason for the exception is that they are accessed in a very intense manner. The system has to read them in very quickly to stream sample data off the disk in realtime and you c
Then the malware writers would write viruses that attacked programs in the white list. A better approach would be better QC by the software companies; it's hard for a worm to wiggle through a hole that isn't there.
As I understand it, any file in an NTFS partition can have one or more Alternate Data Streams [securityfocus.com] associated with it, regardless of its type or location. So if you tell someone not to scan something like "Edb.log", does that imply that they should not scan "Edb.log:virus.exe" either?
I have to agree with Trend Micro on this one. Completely skipping specific files in specific directories may prevent performance issues, but it may also make it easier for malware authors to find new hiding places.
In this day and age we should not need antivirus software and firewalls- Microsoft wake up! What the hell is going on here? A whole market devoted to protecting an OS that we all have to pay for when we buy a new PC?
So, Microsoft taxes all new PCs, and we pay av vendors even more to protect the Microsoft OS.
This is surreal and sick.
We should ALL demand that our employers use Ubuntu

Then when Linux is attacked in the same way as Windows we will see just how secure it is? There have been viruses written for Linux, it is not inherently secure.
With the millions of Linux machines out there, you'd think at least some of those viruses would be propagating in the wild. Not a large number, mind you, because of Linux's small percentage of marketshare. But if Linux is no more secure than Windows, that number should be significantly more than zero. Yet it isn't. Your common sense should tell you that this is a flaw in your theory there.

Oh boy.
Your employer pays Microsoft to use Microsoft's OSs. If your employer wants to stop paying Microsoft and use Ubuntu, I'm sure they can. Maybe they don't want to. In which case, demanding it probably won't do too much for you.
Of course, if someone actually demonstrated the same efficiency, no configuration issues, no breakages every time Ubuntu decides to roll out an upgrade, etc., maybe more employers would listen. Or perhaps if Ubuntu offered paid support (do they? I don't know).
There's a
Yeah, good luck with that. I'm sure the other guy, ya know, the one that's willing to use Windows, will enjoy taking your job.
I've just configured a new laptop and told the anti-virus to ignore *.jpg, *.avi and *.mp3 on my understanding that it's not possible to hide malware in them and that it will make the scan significantly quicker.
Am I right? Or is it a good idea to remove those exclusions?
There have been issues with actual media files like *.png that caused a buffer overload in the image decoder and would allow execution of code embedded in the image itself.
However it is better to actually fix the buffer overflow instead of scanning files. I guess the only real use for virus scanners, if you and manufacturers keep your system up to date, is to not allow said file to be transported to an other computer that has not been updated.
That is what most linux and os x virus scanners mostly do, to mak
I've just configured a new laptop and told the anti-virus to ignore *.jpg, *.avi and *.mp3 on my understanding that it's not possible to hide malware in them and that it will make the scan significantly quicker.
If you're running an operating system where the permissions are such that everthing is executable by default, do you really think that pursuing file extension related tweaks will solve your problems?
Sorry, but I'm having trouble not laughing. Not at you personally. You'd think Microsoft would have
You'd think Microsoft would have weaned itself from their perverse reliance of file extensions years ago when people first started clamoring about

Don't forget
LOL. I haven't gotten over that one myself. At the time, I suspected it was deliberate choice, and a portent of Bad Things to come (WGA, as it turned out).
IIRC, within a year of that change, I stopped using Windows altogether and left the warez scene behind me. Funny how those two go hand in hand.
My virus scanner (MS Security Essentials) picked up a few viruses in mp3 files recently. On further investigation, apparently they weren't mp3 files at all. They were labled as mp3 files, but were in some other format that prompted Windows Media Player to download a codec from somewhere that contained the payload.
If you listen to your mp3 files on Winamp, maybe you are OK. Or maybe you are only OK if you update to the latest version which has a security fix.
You're all right with JPG, not sure about AVI, but if you use Windows Media Player don't whitelist MP3. WMA files (IIRC, it's windows' compressed sound files that are the problem) can have DRM, and its DRM allows it to run other programs. If you rename them with an MP3 extension, most media players will choke, but Windows Media Player will happily run it, DRM virus and all. I tested this several years ago.
I do remember a few years ago that one picture viewer (don't remember which one) had a bug that allowed
Any AV has a select files to avoid functionality, to bypass going through files that you know are ok, and save some time from the memory hog that our AVs are these days. So in fact, if we can say forget about these to an AV, why would this be any different.
As long as M$ allows that list to be modified to have nothing in the list to avoid, as per each user's preference when installing, I have no problem. The problem comes when M$ decides for you, and does not allow any changes to that config.
I am not a fan o
The biggest problem is getting the system secured to the point where remote sites can't drop the files in the first place. Scanning executables isn't going to get you 100% infection free anyway because newer exploits change the stealth algorithm all the time. People need to move away from this idea that virus scanning is the first line of defense because it's not. All it is, is damage control.
Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging.

Chapter 8 : An explanation
|Rating: 15+

Background: Font color:
"I've got to go, Sev, I'm sorry. But I have to go talk to Alice," said Lily from their perch in the tree.
Sev ruffled a hand through his hair, a gesture that surprisingly reminded Lily of James. "I understand," he said resignedly.
"I'm sorry. We'll…talk later, okay?" she asked. Severus nodded.
Lily began to climb down the ladder, but Severus placed a hand on top of hers as it hit the top rung. "Wait," he said, and he leaned down and kissed her gently on the forehead.
Lily smiled at him before quickly descending the ladder and heading into the castle.
Once inside the castle, Lily went straight the Gryffindor common room, hoping to find Alice there. When she walked through the portrait, she saw her sitting in the same place she had been when Lily had left, along with James and Sirius.
"Hi, Lily!" said James. "Back so soon?" He patted the seat next to him, "Come sit down." Lily sat down next to him, her heart pounding with the knowledge that Alice sat a mere foot away with full capability of sharing her secret.
James kissed her on the cheek. "So, why are you back so early?" he asked.
"Oh-well, I just felt like maybe I shouldn't waste a Friday night on a paper after all. Especially not when most of my favorite people are all in here," she lied swiftly.
At this, Alice stood up immediately and dashed out of the room.
"Erm, I'll be right back James-I just-I have to talk to Alice for a minute," said Lily.
James nodded and Lily left the room, catching Alice pacing on the staircase to their dormitory.
"Hi, Alice," said Lily cautiously.
Alice did not reply except to offer Lily a scathing look before ascending the stairs further.
Lily chased after her, "Alice, wait! I can explain! It's not what it looked like!" she cried.
Alice whirled around and laughed, a heartless laugh. "Oh really? Explain then. Because it looked to me like you're dating James in public while hooking up with Severus in secret," she hissed.
Lily looked around to make sure no one was nearby. "Okay, so it's a little bit what it looked like." Alice started to turn away again. "But there's more to it than that!"
Alice turned back around with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. "As your best friend, I am obligated to listen," she said.
Lily wrung her hands. "Okay. Well when James and I went to Hogsmeade, I started to have feelings for him. So when he asked me out, I said yes. And I still really like him...But then after James and I started dating, Severus admitted that he-that he had feelings for me, too. And he kissed me. I didn't ask for him to kiss me, but he did. And maybe I should have ended it all there, but when he kissed me…I felt something for him too."
Lily looked at Alice, hoping for some kind of response, but as there was none, she desperately continued.
"I just couldn't let him go. I couldn't let either of them go. Severus knows that James and I are dating, and he's okay with keeping us secret while I figure out where my feelings stand. If I broke up with James, I wouldn't be able to figure out who I want or what I feel at all. And if he knew, I couldn't figure it out either. Do you understand?"
Alice didn't speak for what felt like hours. "That is unbelievably selfish," she said.
"I know," Lily groaned. "I feel terrible about it. But I don't know what else to do."
"How could you possibly have feelings for Snape?" asked Alice. "He's so…dark, and gross."
"He's not. He's romantic and sweet, and...he understands me. We've known each other for so long," said Lily.
Alice thought for a moment. "Well you can't have them both," she said.
"I know," said Lily quietly.
"You have to choose."
"I know," Lily repeated. "Alice, please don't tell."
Alice again thought for a few moments. "Okay," she said, "I'll keep your secret. But not forever. Lily, I know you. You're so smart and logical, and you can debate who's right all you want. But you have to choose with your heart. And I think your heart already knows, but you just have to figure out what it's saying."
Alice continued, "Lily, You'll never choose unless you have an ultimatum. If you don't choose soon, I'll tell James."
Lily was stunned. "Alice, you're supposed to be my friend."
"I am. That's why I'm doing this. If you don't choose, you'll mess up a good thing either way. These things always have a way of unraveling themselves. I already found out, it's only a matter of time before others, and James, do too. I'm trying to help you out of it."
Lily sat down on the nearest step and put her head in her hands. "What am I supposed to do?" she asked. "They are both so important to me!"
Alice sat down next to her and put an arm around Lily's shoulder. "You'll figure it out. Just feel it out, think about how each one makes you feel."
At that moment, Sirius Black turned the corner and entered the stairwell.
Lily stood abruptly, her eyes wide with fear. "Sirius!" she cried.
"Hey," he said, "What are you two doing? Are you alright? Should I…get James?"
Lily immediately relaxed when it was apparent that Sirius hadn't overheard their conversation. "No, it's fine. We were just having girl talk. Thanks, though," said Lily, flashing him a smile and heading back down to the common room.
Lily spent the rest of the evening with James and their friends in the Gryffindor common room, talking, playing Wizards Chess, and laughing. The fun she was having was almost enough to keep her mind off of her current predicament. Almost, but not quite.
The next morning Lily awoke early. She had tossed and turned all night, which was spent having dreams that alternated between visions of Severus and visions of James.
She lay in bed, debating pros and cons of the two boys. Severus is sweet, loyal, and passionate. But he's a Slytherin and most of my friends don't like him. James is cute and makes me laugh like no one else does. But he was arrogant for so long, and I don't know if we have that same passion yet. Her internal debate continued until her roommates began waking up to get ready for the day.
Lily didn't see Severus again until divination class. She and Alice were sitting at their usual table, staring into crystal balls in front of them, when there was a sudden crash across the room.
The professor walked over to table where Severus and Mulciber sat. "Mulciber, you broke a crystal ball? Do you know how sacred and expensive these are?" she scoffed.
As Mulciber tried to stutter back a defensive response, Lily saw a rolled piece of parchment float onto her desk. She recognized the handwriting instantly, and snatched it up, but not before Alice had time to see it.
Alice gave her a pointed look as Lily began to unroll the parchment on the table in front of them. Alice rolled her eyes, and then leaned forward with her chin in her hand, so her arm blocked the note from James' line of sight at the next table over.
"Look at me, I've become an accomplice," she muttered.
"Thanks," Lily whispered back as she began to read the parchment.
Is everything all right? What happened after I left last night? I'm worried about you. And us.
With love,
Lily took out her own quill and thought for a moment before she responded. She didn't think it would do any good to tell Severus about the arrangement she and Alice had made about her secret.
Everything's OK. Alice has agreed to keep our secret. I feel badly about cutting our time together short last night, though.
Lily rolled the parchment back up and sent it flying across the floor with her wand, until it hit Severus' shoe. He saw it immediately, read it, and sent a response back immediately.
Don't worry about it. I wish we could have had more time together, but I'm glad you sorted things out with Alice. She must be a really good friend to agree to keep quiet.
With love,
P.S. Please stop twirling your hair like that. It's enchanting.
Lily immediately dropped her left hand that had a strand of hair twisted around it, and glanced up at Sev, who was smiling at her with an eyebrow raised in suggestion.
At this moment, the professor started making rounds of the classroom, so she put Severus' note away and got back to work.
When class ended, Lily and Alice walked out together as Alice pestered Lily about the contents of Severus' note. Alice was surprised to see Professor McGonagall standing outside the door, pacing the hallway. When Lily exited the classroom, McGonagall stopped pacing and put a hand on Lily's shoulder.
"Miss Evans," she said, "the headmaster would like to see you in his office immediately."

News - "News distorts our view of the world"
Organised in the margin of Journalismfund.eu's Data Harvest Conference, Europe's biggest investigative and data journalism conference, the event gathered some 70 journalists from all over Europe in Rits Café. The evening was kicked off by the PEN Vlaanderen president, Belgian author David Van Reybrouck. On the programme: a presentation by investigative journalist Marleen Teugels, board member of PEN Vlaanderen, and an interview by Margo Smit with Nils Mulvad and Rob Wijnberg.
Teugels' presentation was based on an exploratory study that PEN Vlaanderen did on the state of press freedom in Belgium. The presentation zoomed in on some big cases of political and other forms of pressure put on Belgian journalists in the last year. Additionally, it documented forms of mild censorship in the Belgian media (mainly on topics concerning ethnicity (the use of the word 'allochtoon'), religion and nudity) and forms of external pressure – political or through the readers – and internal pressure – because of the market-driven approach to news.
The presentation was followed by a panel interview with Journalismfund.eu ex-jury member Nils Mulvad and Dutch philosopher and journalist Rob Wijnberg, moderated by VVOJ president Margo Smit. The first few questions were for Mulvad, asking about Farmsubsidy.org, which he co-founded. He talked about how the project grew to become one of the, if not the, most important continuous data journalism projects in Europe.
Smit then introduced Rob Wijnberg to the international crowd as the founder of the brand new promising Dutch online slow journalism platform De Correspondent, for which he and his team crowdfunded a million euros through 15,000 subscribers in a few days time. According to Wijnberg, traditional newspapers are too thick. They try to report about everything, which is not only unnecessary, but also unfavourable. "De Correspondent will try to do less, but do it well. We will focus on longer background pieces rather than news. News distorts our view of the world. Because of its very nature, it always shows us the exceptions to the rule. In a way that makes sense, because nobody wants to know about 10,000 commuters returning home from work safely. But that means that in the end what you will know is how the world doesn't work."
The new platform's name De Correspondent derives from the fact that its content will be brought to the readers by devoted and relevant journalists, the correspondents. They will use their qualities to present stories from a unique, insightful perspective. Wijnberg: "There's a huge difference between opinion and perspective. You can't bring a story or news item without a perspective. What we want to do is offer the readers the perspective of journalists that are experienced and have insight in the topics in question."
Bringing longer pieces is also what Journalismfund.eu furthers, through its working grants project. Nils Mulvad was in the organisation's jury from 2009 until 2013. When Smit asked him if there were many applications that did not get funding, his answer was fast and clear: "Yes. Let's say that per 40 applications, there are about 4 on average that receive a working grant." The reason for this, in Mulvad's view, is that a lot of applications do not deal with cross-border journalism, even though the regulations clearly state that to be the most important criterion. "Cross-border means that the story has to concern two or more countries and requires a cooperation between two or more journalists from those countries." These kinds of cooperations will only increase in the future because boundaries are dissolving everywhere – on a political, judicial and economic level.
What else will change? Is going digital the future? Mulvad: "Definitely. A lot of newspapers and magazines will simply not survive and the nature of TV has changed and will continue to do so. You have to think digital, think mobile. Rob, may I urge you to take De Correspondent to smartphones and tablets?" Wijnberg: "That is exactly what we are planning to do. We appointed a young publisher for De Correspondent. The first thing he said? We're developing this platform for smartphones first and only afterwards we'll adapt it for use on PCs.'"
De Correspondent will launch in September. It sounds like a perfect publishing platform for Dutch journalists cooperating with international colleagues on a quality, cross-border investigative piece…

We found brand new spy shots of the upcoming facelift of the Bentley Continental GTC Speed. Enjoy!
The prototype seen here is wearing minimal camouflage, giving us a good look as to the styling that's expected to feature on the facelifted 2012 Bentley Continental GTC Speed. We can clearly see a new bumper design incorporating larger intakes, as well as new exhaust tips and uprated brakes.
Bentley engineers are also expected to have refined the drivetrain, reduced overall vehicle weight and increased rigidity, all while keeping the exterior proportions much the same as the current model.
Under the hood will be the familiar 6.0-liter W-12 engine powering the entire Continental GT lineup. However, peak output should be lifted beyond the current GTC Speed's 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque limit.

While we can't ask dogs how their seizures affect them, we can make reasonable assumptions by extrapolating from what people with seizure disorders tell us. Before most seizures, there is a brief period of restlessness and anxiety; the dog may want affection or seclusion. After a seizure, the dog may feel disoriented, wobbly and confused. It also may have trouble seeing. Based on reports from people, dogs probably won't remember what happened during the seizure itself.

Resistance from various corners, and for partially divergent reasons, is increasing against the putschist EU decisions in Germany. Both on the hyperinflationary bailout of banks and of nations, resistance is now mounting from the CSU and the SPD. And resistance against the European super-state is increasing, too. With the Constitutional Court decision coming up, the situation looks interesting and is wide open for our crucial intervention. Of course, Glass-Steagall remains the key basis to establish all of this.
CSU Chairman and Bavarian Minister President Horst Seehofer warned in an interview in Stern magazine yesterday, that soon a point could be reached, when the CSU and he, personally, could no longer accept the EU decisions, and pointing out that in the parliament, the CDU has no majority without the CSU. Already before the parliament vote, the mood was tense, with CSU General Secretary Alexander Dobrindt warning in the faction meeting with Merkel, that they could not agree to the summit decisions, if nations do not accept the austerity conditions. During the debate on June 29, some CSU MPs did not applaud when Merkel and Schäuble spoke, which normally never happens. The CSU is under pressure in its own state, where the Freie Wähler (Free Voters), who are among the complaintants against the ESM before the Constitutional Court, have a lot of support in the countryside, which is the traditional CSU base.
Yesterday, former EU Commissioner Günther Verheugen (SPD, also from Bavaria), told a live talk show on Phoenix TV, that in Brussels Merkel was "betrayed" by Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, in a way that is absolutely not "normal" in diplomacy, and also strongly warned of further "European centralization." On June 30, he similarly commented that Merkel can no longer rely on any former allies. Spiegel quotes from the Phoenix interview: "The Chancellor was betrayed last week. That is absolutely clear. Both in Rome, and also in Paris."
"She left, assured that she [had] settled everything. Then she finds out in Brussels, that she is put into an extremely uncomfortable situation." "What you see here, is a violation of rules. That also applies to the reaction of Monti," Verheugen said.
And today, SPD budget expert Carsten Schneider threatened that the SPD might torpedo the next vote in July, on whether to finance Spanish banks directly with money from the rescue fund. (The ESM does not yet exist; it would have to come through the EFSF, and then be taken over by the ESM later, were it to come into existence.) Schneider said, "After all, we just decided on Friday [June 29], that rescuing banks directly through the ESM is not possible." Whether easing the law through the summit decisions should be applied already, must be reviewed, and he does not consider it a solution to save the Spanish banking sector in isolation. Should that happen without strict conditions, then Ireland, Slovenia, and others with banking problems would start to demand the same procedure for themselves. "The state rescue fund threatens to become transformed into a banking rescue fund. I can hardly imagine that the SPD would agree to this." He then repeated the SPD position for a debt- redemption regime, including a fee for the European banks, as precondition for any such agreement. Otherwise, the risk for the taxpayer increases massively. Merkel, he added, now has to find her own majority for such a vague idea, if she wants to pursue it.
Clearly, the SPD is now trying to present itself as the protector of citizens, as the outcry against the EU putsch is rising. Whether there is more substance to this will have to be seen. But it is clear that if the government should now try to implement the suicidal course of the EU putsch, it will completely lose its own base and break apart in no time.
The real issue for true patriots now is Glass-Steagall, and that has yet to be introduced by prominent actors in Germany's political scene. Only on that basis, all those, who are serious about stopping this madness, and are not just playing games for their own imagined advantage, can establish a non-partisan basis to defend the nation, and transform Germany again into an industrial and scientific hub for the good of the planet. And in that, the catalytic role of the BüSo and its international allies, is key.

There are lots of ways to reify and one needn't use the rdf vocabulary to do it. For example, when you encode n-ary relationships as objects you are reifying those relationships. There are *lots* of use cases for reifying or some other sort of comments on entities and axioms. That's not the same as saying that RDF reification is a good thing. I'm sad if people are using it. However, I still hear *no numbers*. And the only reification I've ever seen, personally, is EARL and OWL 1.1's RDF mapping. OWL-S reifies composite processes and doesn't use the RDF reification. So I remain unconvinced. I agree with the need for certain mechanisms 100%. I disagree that RDF reification is a serious or workable solution. I argued against it in the RDF mapping and I argue against it in general. > Bijan Parsia wrote on Wed, 18 Apr 2007, 21:55:38 +0100: > >> On Apr 18, 2007, at 9:36 PM, Michael Schneider wrote: >>> If I correctly understand Alan's above citation from the draft, >>> this is meant as an "EITHER s p o OR reification" (whatever form >>> of reification will be used in the end). > [...] >>> Really, I would prefer to have a "ALWAYS s p o AND ADDITIONALLY >>> reification IF NEEDED FOR ANNOTATION". >> This is possible but a bit dangerous.

I am > not sure if I really understand it completely. > > What do you mean by "no connection"? Take the following graph: :s :p :o. _:x a rdf:Statement; rdf:subject :s; rdf:predicate :p; rdf:object :o. Now consider changing the predicate of the first triple to p1. What happens to the reification? Nothing, and arguably nothing *should* happen. But if you are going to use the reification to hang metadata *on this very triple in this very graph* then there *needs* to be a connection. Ok, we can hook it up in an application dependent way. It's not *impossible*, just neither interoperable nor particularly pleasant. > When I have an RDF file containing an spo statement and a reified > statement, I don't see any difficulties to decide in any possible > case, if the reified statement is a reification of the spo > statement or not. If you go back to the great reification debates, one thing you'll find is the question of whether a reification reifies the *particular utterance*, so to speak, of a triple, or the *triple type*. In other words, in the following graph: :x1 a rdf:Statement; rdf:subject :s; rdf:predicate :p; rdf:object :o. :x2 a rdf:Statement; rdf:subject :s; rdf:predicate :p; rdf:object :o. should we conclude that :x1 = :x2? One of the many things that need to be settled. And again, what happens if you have only a couple of the parts of a triple? > So I would say that there is a pretty strong connection between an > spo statement and its reification, at least when it is in the same > file/ontology. Am I wrong? Yes: <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#Reif> > And what exactly do you mean by "getting out of sync"?

Didn't quite follow that, but there's a pretty big difference in finding and replacing a URI and having to do the complicated surgery between a reification and the original.

So no danger of getting out of sync here! But then what do you care about the "big honking chunk of reification" in your ontology?

So yeah, given that, it's actually easier to keep them in synch by hand as well if you use that serialization. I'm loathe to use reification in general, but if we do, then given this bit i see no reason for including both. I'm convinced enough to suggest that you file a bug report in the owl 1.1 issues list.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get it out. Hope you don't think that makes me think I'm "Mr. Big"... ok... that one was bad. Do bands that named themselves after someone else's song even count?
