'Battlestar' exec producer signs two-year pact
"Battlestar Galactica" exec producer David Eick is expanding his role in the NBC universe, inking a two-year overall deal with the Peacock's studio arm.
While Eick has spent most of his career at either NBC or predecessor Universal working as a producer or exec, this seven-figure pact reps the first time he's signed an overall for his work as a scribe. Deal kicks in June 1. Even as he continues to work as a nonwriting producer shepherding various projects — including the long-in-the-works "BSG" prequel "Caprica" for Sci Fi Channel — Eick has begun penning projects by himself and with partners. "My focus now is probably going to be a little less about casting a wide net and a little more on focusing on one, two or maybe three projects a year, maybe writing one myself," Eick said. So far this season:- Eick is working on "AKA," a family adventure from scribe Kerry Ehrins ("Friday Night Lights"), which Eick describes as "Little Miss Sunshine" meets "Thelma and Louise."
- Eick is shepherding a project from scribe Dario Scardapane that's a sort of modern-day "Hart to Hart."
- And as a solo scribe, Eick is working on an adaptation of an existing Universal property, the title of which is being kept under wraps pending completion of a rights deal. Eick has a track record adapting properties for U: In addition to "Battlestar Galactica," he also oversaw this season's remake of "The Bionic Woman," which fizzled out after a boffo bow.

Canada Halts Online Tax-Filing Services
'Heartbleed' Bug Could Expose Masses of Personal Information; Services Seen Resuming This Weekend
OTTAWA—Canada shut down its online tax-filing services just weeks before millions of Canadians must file their tax returns, citing the emergence of a computer bug that could expose masses of critical personal information.
The Canada Revenue Agency said that after learning late Tuesday about the so-called "Heartbleed" bug, it decided to halt access to its online tools that allow individuals and businesses to make tax filings electronically. It wasn't clear why Canada took the unusual step, which it called a...

"I wouldn't expect you'll see that," Penello said. "It's very, very cool tech but it's, like, for a consumer, it requires projectors and things. It's really super-neat if you're in the lab and you've got Microsoft money and you could totally set up this awesome lab, but... we looked at it, but for an average customer it's, like, thousands of dollars."
I've played video games for most of my life and got into this research because I couldn't believe that violent video games could make me do something I didn't want to do, that is, be aggressive. My attitude has changed somewhat. These days I find it totally plausible that violent video games could influence people's behavior, but the real question is whether their influence is harmful, and I'm not yet convinced of that.

Thawing the Japanese Ice Queen
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Thu 7th of February 2013
Maria gazed longingly at central park, carrying her thoughts to her native land. The daughter of a wealthy Japanese businessman whoever would have thought it possible. Her father a successful owner of boutiques that caters only the best to the best, the wives of wealthy businessmen, bankers and lawyers are his clientele. He has clothes flown in from Paris and London, she attends luncheons and cocktail parties by the score. And now . . . here in this hotel in Hawaii to rest and recuperate before waiting for her father's lawyer to arrive. Maria sighed, she didn't want to think about John, he is much older then her. She smiled to herself when she thought of John with his bulging eyes and pants, thirsting to get into her panties. She thought of the sadistic pleasure she had gotten from refusing him.
She closed her eyes and opened them again to view the lush scenario of the Hotel Margo, and in doing so she realized for the tenth time that morning that every eye at the pool was upon her. Poor suckers, she could almost see their cocks straining against their bathing suits in anticipation. Just because the Hotel had a reputation for beautiful women, everyone assumed she was fair game. Well, she wasn't. She was exhausted keeping these oafs at bay. And Maria, at twenty-five was stunning.
As she rose from her chair to walk to the pool, it was evident that her body was sexy, hot, and curvy. Her legs were long and lithe, her skin taut and glowingly tantalizing against the hot sun. Her buttocks were round and firm and swelled seductively under her bikini, revealing just the space between the two globes of undulating promise ... her breasts spilling just enough out of her white bikini and her belly, gentle and ever so slightly rounded, just right for the caress of a man's hand. Men lusted after her, and drooled and pursued her relentlessly. She spurned them over and over again but to no avail. She was always cold and haughty but it only seemed to make them want her more.
She played in the pool for a while, temporarily forgetting the ogling eyes, diving like a dolphin and somersaulting, she really was a gorgeous woman. The men around the pool couldn't help but feel a sense of loss at not being able to possess her. Shit. Who was it this time trying to invade her privacy, her peace flew away as quickly as it had come.
She saw a strong pair of legs blocking her exit from the pool and looked a little higher at a deep blue silk swimsuit to a deeply tanned body and into the eyes of John Malone.
"Hey Maria," I called to her. "I've been looking for you all morning." "Oh, hi John," nervously she smiled, looked into my eyes and then darted away again. "Pardon me," she said rather brusquely as she tried to avoid touching my body, brushing against my cock which was so obviously throbbing against my swimsuit and for a moment she felt a titillating sensation in her vagina as she came close to him. A surge of desire shot up through her body and she tensed her thighs in order to avoid too much contact. I laughed. "The Virgin Queen eh," I quipped.
Maria blushed scarlet, then quickly regained her composure and her dignity as she walked past me to her deck chair. I watched her, a grin spreading from ear to ear as I savored the full curve of her ass swaying in cockthrobbing undulations.
Maria sat down and put on her sunglasses and cautiously watched me for a moment. He did arouse her, that was certain and he was the only decent man at the hotel ... in fact the only man in desire into her body. He was obviously very intelligent, and extremely handsome, a lawyer for many japanese businessmen including her father.
Every woman in the hotel wanted John to fuck them, it was obvious, in fact every night he was with a different woman. Maria knew, though, deep down that she was the only woman he wanted there at the hotel. No, never, she shuddered almost too violently never would I allow an older man, come into her lovely body, even though they might die for the want of it.
She looked good and hard at John, he seemed to be a man in his late forties, it was really hard to tell with a man like that. His body was so strong and muscular and obviously he took really good care of himself. He was intelligent, charming, handsome, everything a woman could want ... hut she knew too much about men to let herself be fooled, he was lust like the rest, a sexually driven beast.
Lost in her thoughts, Maria was shocked when she felt the presence of another body close to her. I was leaning over her, almost touching her breasts with my hands. "Cummon angel," I smiled. "Are you ever going to melt enough to allow me even one moment with you."
Maria felt uncomfortable with my body so close to hers, she really did feel desire every time I came anywhere near her. She really was lonely, in truth ... but really she was not going to be fucked by anybody, fucked and left to cry in the hot sun like all the rest of the women at the hotel.
"I like you, I really do," I said earnestly. "There's no- one here at the hotel that can hold a candle to you, your eyes are so seductive, like a playful kitten. You oriental women are so mysterious and alluring. I thought maybe we could have dinner." Maria smiled warmly. "Thanks John, but I don't date, I've already told you that, I'm here to recuperate." Sensing her withdrawal from him, I stood and walked away, totally disgusted.
Maria watched me walk away without looking back and felt torn in two. One half of her wanted to call him back and say, "Russ, I'd love to go to a movie with you," and the other half felt repulsed and afraid. She wanted him and she didn't... Oh God! ... what was she going to do. She was a frigid, uptight bitch and she knew it.
I knew from experience though that once I could crack the ice I'd have one hell of a tigress on my hands. I sensed her desire for blood and I had it. I would tear her apart, the cunt, once inside of her, if only I could get near enough to kindle the flame. Damn it, I was so frustrated I wanted to tear off her bikini right at the poolside, fuck everyone around. I wanted my cock deep inside that tantalizing pussy of hers and choke her with it until she begged him to stop. I wanted to ... I stopped, realizing that Maria was reading his thoughts. It was getting more and more difficult to keep my lust in check. Goddamnit, I was going to fuck her, I was going to ... wait a minute! A plan was emerging in his consciousness ... a last desperate attempt. Alright, he'd tried another tack ... I was by no means through.
Turning around to catch a last glimpse of Maria I saw that she had left the poolside, never mind, I would see her soon enough. Turning sharply, I headed for the bar, I'd need a drink. Maria returned to her room to escape from the hot sun and to collect herself. She lay on the cool cotton sheets and felt a warm languorous sensation spread slowly up her body. She was a sensual woman, she knew it, but life's bitter experiences had caused her to deny her true nature.
She got up from the bed to take off her bikini, since the elastic was beginning to cut into her flesh. She caught sight of her reflection in the closet mirror and studied herself with detached interest, but without much pleasure. Her satin-skinned flesh tinted a golden tan except for the tiny stripes of her bikini. She gazed at her taut, high breasts, they curved up to firm deep pink nipples. She moved her eyes to the black silky pussy hairs and opening her legs, she touched gently the softly molded vaginal lips. She could see the tiny tip of her clitoris peeking from the crested valley of her vagina in almost childlike shyness. She looked at her face, her high cheek bones, her mysterious eyes as John had called them, she had the classic almond shaped eyes of the orient that could express many moods. And then, as if suddenly ashamed by her immodest voyeurism, she threw on her pink satin robe and closed the closet door.
"I've got a good body," she thought, "but it hasn't brought me anything but pain. Men constantly lusting to strip her naked and fuck her. All her life men had fondled her and their clumsiness and brutality had left her cold. Suddenly, there was a knock at her hotel room door! Maria pulled her robe tightly around her voluptuous body and slipped on a pair of thin silken panties, then went barefoot to the door. I stood outside. She was stunned to see me, and something about me was making her a little afraid ... She smelled the faint odor of alcohol coming from my breath. "What do you want?" she said sharply.
"I want you, my lovely one," I said as sweetly as I could. "Oh," the liquor was allowing me to get carried away, "Oh, I want you so bad!" And before she could decide how to handle this difficult situation, I was in the door. "No," she cried, terrified of my suddenly direct and lustful approach. "Go away, please! I stepped forward with incredible speed and grasped her by the arm. She felt my hand close around her arm, my strong grip immediately caused pain. I tightened my grip and stepped into her. "We're gonna move back to your bedroom. Don't try to run!" she heard me whisper calmly into her ear. She felt me press my body into hers. She felt me press my hips tightly against her ass and felt my hard on through my slacks. Maria felt nauseous at the thought that I could be sexually aroused from this violence.
I easily guided her towards her bedroom doorway. As they reached the door, I commanded her to open the door. She reached out and turned the knob and slowly pushed her door open. As soon as the door was half-way open, she felt herself being forced passed the threshold and towards her king-sized bed. I was squeezing and cupping the nakedness of her sensitively tingling breasts, my lips kissing the back of neck then her neck with hungry desire. My other hand was caressing her, sliding down to her writhing hips, down past her moistened pubic hair, down her legs, while she ... Oh Lord! ... she arched her back. I pushed her onto the bed, then I tore at my pants and shirt. She gasped at the sight of my immensely swollen cock.
Then I roughly parted her legs, crawling between her legs and on top of her. Yes, she was silently begging for me to continue, to have my long thick hard cock filling her hungrily throbbing cunt to its fullest. She wanted me to fill her with my thick, hotly throbbing hardness. She was ready to let a man fuck her. Her black hair flailed around her moaning face " OOOOHHHH! OOOOOHHH! AAAAHHHH!", her taut nubile breasts dancing on her chest as she prepared herself for me, for the sweet forbidden taste of lusting manhood ... My muscular hips pinned her squirming thighs to the bed ... The soft black curls of her pubic hair brushing teasingly against my searching cock, tickling against it and inciting me to incoherent mumblings of crazed desire ... Maria suddenly screamed "STOP! NNNOOO!", she slapped me pushing me off of her. I approached her again, I forced her legs apart slipping between her open thighs and positioned my big, sweaty hard cock aganist her pussy. Maria tried to pull away, but I just laughed, then with one quick hard thrust, I forced the entire long thick shaft into her helpless dry pussy. Maria screamed "OMG! STOP! UUUUGGGG!", I pulled out of her. I ran my hands over her breasts, playing with her nipples, then reaching between her legs I pinched her clit.
Before Maria could relax, I placed my eager cock aganist her pussy again and began rubbing it up and down her tender, pink folds. " It's been a long time since you have been fucked, Well baby your going to like my cock!" Maria groaned " Nooooo. Aaaaaaahhhh." helpless as I plunged into her at full force. I pressed the bulbous head of my large cock between her swollen folds again. Maria struggled desperately but I had a firm grip on her legs. With some difficulty, I again forced my cock in. Maria screamed " STOP! OMG! STOP! NNNNOOOO!" and jerking helplessly. She felt like her insides were going to split apart. Her cries encouraged me more as I worked the entire length of my 9" thick shaft deep into her vaginal canal. Maria had never had anything so big inside her before.
She wanted to beg me to stop, but I was her father's lawyer. I began to thrust in and out of her slowly, until I got a rhythm going. Maria tried to relax but the quivering walls of her vagina kept pulling and clutching at my cock. I grabbed her hips with my hands and pulled them close to me so I could slam into her harder and deeper. I was slamming her body very hard now and Maria could feel the head of my cock pounding aganist her cervix. I never took my eyes off her the whole time, I was enjoying watching this beautiful japanese geshia. Suddenly I closed my eyes and squeezed her hips tighter, and she felt the muscles and veins in my massive organ spasming and jerking inside her, pumping what seemed like an endless supply of hot semen into her body. Maria lay there motionless, her breath coming in ragged gasps, as I rolled her over onto her stomach.
Then she felt me spread her legs apart, slipping between them again, she could feel my hard naked body aganist her now, my sweaty thighs pressed firmly aganist her buttocks. I took hold of her butt cheeks with my hands and spread them apart. Maria tried to prepare herself for, yet another attack on her pussy. When suddenly, she felt the growing pressure of my bulbous cockhead aganist her small tight asshole, " NO...PLEASE NOT THERE!" she screamed. Maria tried to fight off the invasion by twisting and turning her body, but it was no use. She felt a sharp pain in her tight ass as I slipped the head of my cock into her puckered hole. Maria had never experienced sex like this before. The sensation was very new to her, and even more unpleasant than what she'd been forced to endure. " Aw baby! You are so tight!" Maria screamed " STOP! OMG! STOP! PULL IT OUT PLEASE!". The pain in her asshole was so intense she almost fainted.
Her body tried to push my cock out, but I kept pusing forcing it in. I grabbed her shoulders pulling her up onto her knees. I reached around and grabbed her breasts for a better hold. Finally, her body gave in, and I shoved the entire length of my long wide shaft into her anal canal. My balls resting aganist her ass. Her traumatized sphincter clenched and convulsed around the base of my hard instrument. It felt so fucking amazing, so unbelievably tight. The violation of her body, with my cock was sheer ecstasy for me as it was agony for her. She was insane with pain, of the invading rod stretching her insides. I pulled back and then shoved it in again, causing insane convulsions from the beautiful doll and high pitched noises " OHHH! OHHH!! UUHHH! OHHH! UH-UH-UH-UUUHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!" . Her ass forced the thrusts to be slow, as it resisted every inch of my shaft. That would soon change. I started ramming like a pile driver into the young lady "AAAAAAAAAHHH, OWWWWWW" , its tearing me, take it out, don't push it in," she yelled.
I started working my cock in and out, with long deep merciless thrusts as my young japanese doll screamed "AAAAAAAAAHHH, OWWWWWW" and cried. I enjoyed her pain as I brutally raped her ass, traumatically stretching her anus, as I rammed my hips against her ass with repetitive thrusts, WAP! WAP! WAP! WAP! battering her . Her buttocks and thighs kept quivering in response to the violation of her ass. She struggled endlessly against all hope. Her cries were pitiful "AAAAAAAAAHHH, OWWWWWW" asian women like her are beautiful dolls meant for the purposes of my sexual gratification. Sex with a willing woman, who is enjoying it cannot possibly compare to the thrill of sex with beautiful asian women and virgins.
I carried on slamming my cock into her tight gripping rectum as she howled " OHHH! OHHH!! UUHHH! OHHH! UH-UH-UH-UUUHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!! "AAAAAAAAAHHH, OWWWWWW" , still trying to thrash around, yet not succeeding. After another 10 minutes of this, I felt my orgasm coming, and planted myself deep inside her clenching asshole as she tensed every muscle in her body. I came in powerful jets of semen that fired deep into her as she cried loudly . " OHHH! OHHH!! UUHHH! OHHH! UH-UH-UH-UUUHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!! "AAAAAAAAAHHH, OWWWWWW" When I finished, I held it there for a few more minutes, then pulled it out.
My beautiful japanese doll laid on the bed sobbing as I got dressed. I will certainly see you when I am in Tokyo. I will need to increase my visits to Tokyo to see you.

He stood there, naked, his 9 inch prick on the droop, waiting for her to begin her examination; she smiled and gently fingered the head of his circumcised penis, shaft skin stretched tight by the mohel's past enthusiasm. "Ahh" she thought, "another Yiddisher to pleasure." She lubed and then gently inserted the glass penile catheter, ridge to the meatus, moving him over to the edge of the table by stretching his penis, then crushing the catheter into myriads of sharp fragments within his penis by repeated chops of her hand. "Now you know, you jewish schmuk, how it feels for a girl to be raped by your kind."
I read something like this years ago, and I thought it best counters the glorification of rape that you preach. Bye the way, hope you enjoy your TURP when you have it.

Cranberry-Almond Biscotti Recipe
Swapped at the 2011 Cookie Swap by the Blatteis twins.
Adapted from Martha Stewart.
- Yield:Makes about 4 dozen
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 3 large eggs, plus 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Place cranberries in a small bowl; add boiling water. Let stand until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain, and set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture, and mix on low speed until combined. Mix in cranberries and pistachios.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape each piece into a 16-by-2-inch log, and transfer to prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. With the palm of your hand, flatten logs slightly. Brush beaten egg over surface of the dough logs, and sprinkle generously with sugar.
Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until logs are slightly firm to touch, about 25 minutes. Transfer logs on parchment paper to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
Place logs on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place a wire rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange slices, cut sides down, on rack. Bake until firm to touch, about 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven; let biscotti cool completely on rack. Biscotti can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Oh, the iPhone 5 is out today? Screw that. The real news today is about "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2," and guess what moms and daughters — you'll want to stick around in the theater right to the bitter end.
Kellan Lutz (aka Emmett Cullen) was recently chatting with The Insider (via ComingSoon) for some reason, and he dropped a little tease for those who are still breathlessly waiting for the Edward and Bella story to end. "They're gonna love it, and Bill [Condon] even told me that, stay for the credits — there's a really special thing happening," he teased. But not only that, it appears as if the conclusion of Stephenie Meyer's series will have a little bit of Condon sauce poured onto it as well.
"Every film's been building and building, and Bill Condon really had a great idea with ending the series with 'Breaking Dawn 2,' and just adding a little more flavor to parts of the book that weren't there, but he elaborated more on," Lutz continued. "I think the fans are really going to enjoy it."
So what will that extra stuff be? KStew and RPatz declaring that they've overcome this summer's scandal and become stronger than ever? An open ending so Summit can toy with the idea of "Twilight 5: Keep Shining"? Thanos eating a shawarma? The mind reels with the possibilities!
'Breaking Dawn – Part 2' lands on November 16th.

But most of the time I see <div> tags used where a <p> or some other tag that actually has meaning would be better. The problem with (or the point of) <div> and <span>. tags is that they don't have any meaning.
This means that you are putting information (content) in a 'block' that appears to have no meaning at all.
Though I can see the use of the construct in some cases, just applying <div> and <span> anywhere you want a layout change is bad practice. For instance, this: Is much better written: - Don't laugh too hard at the above example, I've seen plenty of this in real sites made by supposedly professional companies. Joost.

The cgd
driver provides functionality
which allows you to use disks or partitions for encrypted storage.
After providing the appropriate key, the encrypted partition is
accessible using cgd
People often store sensitive information on their hard disks and are concerned about this information falling into the wrong hands. This is particularly relevant to users of laptops and other portable devices, or portable media, which might be stolen or accidentally misplaced.
File-oriented encryption tools like GnuPG are great for encrypting individual files, which can then be sent across untrusted networks as well as stored encrypted on disk. But sometimes they can be inconvenient, because the file must be decrypted each time it is to be used; this is especially cumbersome when you have a large collection of files to protect. Any time a security tool is cumbersome to use, there's a chance you'll forget to use it properly, leaving the files unprotected for the sake of convenience.
Worse, readable copies of the encrypted contents might still exist on the hard disk. Even if you overwrite these files (using rm -P) before unlinking them, your application software might make temporary copies you don't know about, or have been paged to swapspace - and even your hard disk might have silently remapped failing sectors with data still in them.
The solution is to simply never write the information unencrypted to the hard disk. Rather than taking a file-oriented approach to encryption, consider a block-oriented approach - a virtual hard disk, that looks just like a normal hard disk with normal filesystems, but which encrypts and decrypts each block on the way to and from the real disk.
The cgd
device looks and behaves to the rest of
the operating system like any other disk driver. Rather than
driving real hardware directly, it provides a logical function
layered on top of another block device. It has a special
configuration program, cgdconfig, to create and
configure a cgd
device and point it at the
underlying disk device that will hold the encrypted data.
NetBSD includes several other similar logical block devices, each
of which provides some other function where cgd
provides encryption. You can stack several of these logical block
devices together:
you can make an encrypted
to protect your encrypted data against
hard disk failure as well.
Once you have created a cgd
disk, you can
use disklabel to divide it up into
partitions, swapctl to enable swapping to
those partitions or newfs to make
filesystems, then mount and use those
filesystems, just like any other new disk.
A number of components and tools work together to make the
system effective.
To use cgd
you need a kernel with support
for the cgd
pseudo-device. Make sure the
following line is in the kernel configuration file:
pseudo-device cgd 4 # cryptographic disk driver
The number specifies how many cgd
devices may be configured at the same time. After configuring
the cgd
pseudo-device you can recompile
the kernel and boot it to enable cgd
The cgd
driver provides the following
encryption algorithms:
Encryption Methods
AES (Rijndael). AES uses a 128 bit blocksize and accepts 128, 192 or 256 bit keys.
Blowfish uses a 64 bit blocksize and accepts 128 bit keys
Triple DES uses a 64 bit blocksize and accepts 192 bit keys (only 168 bits are actually used for encryption)
All three ciphers are used in CBC mode. This means each block is XORed with the previous encrypted block before encryption. This reduces the risk that a pattern can be found, which can be used to break the encryption.
Another aspect of cgd
that needs some
attention are the verification methods
cgdconfig provides. These verification
methods are used to verify the passphrase is correct. The
following verification methods are available:
Verification Methods
no verification is performed. This can be dangerous,
because the key is not verified at all. When a wrong key
is entered cgdconfig configures the
device as normal, but data
which was available on the volume will be destroyed
(decrypting blocks with a wrong key will result in
random data, which will result in a regeneration of the
disklabel with the current key).
cgdconfig scans for a valid disklabel. If a valid disklabel is found with the key that is provided authentication will succeed.
cgdconfig scans for a valid FFS file system. If a valid FFS file system is found with the key that is provided authentication will succeed.
This section works through a step-by-step example of converting
an existing system to use cgd
performing the following actions:
Preparing the disk and partitions
Scrub off all data
Create the cgd
Adjust config-files
Restoring your backed-up files to the encrypted disk
First, decide which filesystems you want to move to an encrypted
device. You're going to need to leave at least the small root
) filesystem unencrypted, in order to load
the kernel and run init,
cgdconfig and the rc.d
scripts that configure your cgd
. In this
example, we'll encrypt everything except the root
) filesystem.
We are going to delete and re-make partitions and filesystems, and will require a backup to restore the data. So make sure you have a current, reliable backup stored on a different disk or machine. Do your backup in single-user mode, with the filesystems unmounted, to ensure you get a clean dump. Make sure you back up the disklabel of your hard disk as well, so you have a record of the partition layout before you started.
With the system at single user, /
read-write and everything else unmounted, use
disklabel to delete all the data partitions
you want to move into cgd
Then make a single new partition in all the space you just
freed up, say, wd0e
. Set the
partition type for this partition to cgd
Though it doesn't really matter what it is, it will help remind
you that it's not a normal filesystem later. When finished,
label the disk to save the new partition table.
We have removed the partition table information, but the
existing filesystems and data are still on disk. Even after
we make a cgd
device, create filesystems,
and restore our data, some of these disk blocks might not yet
be overwritten and still contain our data in plaintext. This
is especially likely if the filesystems are mostly empty. We
want to scrub the disk before we go further.
We could use dd to copy
over the new
partition, but this will leave
our disk full of zeros, except where we've written encrypted
data later. We might not want to give an attacker any clues
about which blocks contain real data, and which are free
space, so we want to write "noise" into all the disk
blocks. So we'll create a temporary cgd
configured with a random, unknown key.
First, we configure a cgd
to use a random key:
cgdconfig -s cgd0 /dev/wd0e aes-cbc 128 < /dev/urandom
Now we can write zeros into the raw partition of our
NetBSD/i386, /dev/rcgd0c
on most other
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rcgd0d bs=32k
The encrypted zeros will look like random data on disk. This might
take a while if you have a large disk. Once finished, unconfigure the
random-key cgd
cgdconfig -u cgd0
The cgdconfig program, which manipulates
devices, uses parameters files to store
such information as the encryption type, key length, and a
random password salt for each cgd
. These
files are very important, and need to be kept safe - without
them, you will not be able to decrypt the data!
We'll generate a parameters file and write it into the default
location (make sure the directory
exists and is mode 700):
cgdconfig -g -V disklabel -o /etc/cgd/wd0e aes-cbc 256
This creates a parameters file
describing a
using the
cipher method, a key
verification method of disklabel
and a key length of 256
bits. It will look something like this:
algorithm aes-cbc; iv-method encblkno; keylength 256; verify_method disklabel; keygen pkcs5_pbkdf2/sha1 { iterations 6275; salt AAAAgHTg/jKCd2ZJiOSGrgnadGw=; };
Remember, you'll want to save this file somewhere safe later.
When creating the parameters file,
cgdconfig reads from
to create the password
salt. This read may block if there is not enough collected
entropy in the random pool. This is unlikely, especially if
you just finished overwriting the disk as in the previous
step, but if it happens you can press keys on the console
and/or move your mouse until the
device gathers enough
Now it's time to create our cgd
, for which
we'll need a passphrase. This passphrase needs to be entered
every time the cgd
is opened, which is
usually at each reboot. The encryption key is derived from this
passphrase and the salt. Make sure you choose something you won't
forget, and others won't guess.
The first time we configure the cgd
, there
is no valid disklabel on the logical device, so the validation
mechanism we want to use later won't work. We override it this
one time:
cgdconfig -V re-enter cgd0 /dev/wd0e
This will prompt twice for a matching passphrase, just in case
you make a typo, which would otherwise leave you with a
encrypted with a passphrase that's
different to what you expected.
Now that we have a new cgd
, we need to
partition it and create filesystems. Recreate your previous
partitions with all the same sizes, with the same letter
Remember to use the disklabel -I argument, because you're creating an initial label for a new disk.
Although you want the sizes of your new partitions to be the same as the old, unencrypted ones, the offsets will be different because they're starting at the beginning of this virtual disk.
Then, use newfs to create filesystems on
all the relevant partitions. This time your partitions will
reflect the cgd
disk names, for example:
newfs /dev/rcgd0h
We've moved several filesystems to another (logical) disk, and
we need to update /etc/fstab
accordingly. Each partition will have the same letter (in this
example), but will be on cgd0
rather than
. So you'll have
entries something like this:
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/cgd0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cgd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=132m 0 0 /dev/cgd0e /var ffs rw 1 2 /dev/cgd0f /usr ffs rw 1 2 /dev/cgd0h /home ffs rw 1 2
should be a separate filesystem,
either mfs
or ffs
inside the cgd
, so that your temporary
files are not stored in plain text in the
Each time you reboot, you're going to need your
configured early, before
fsck runs and filesystems are mounted.
Put the following line in
cgd0 /dev/wd0e
This will use /etc/cgd/wd0e
as config
file for cgd0
To finally enable cgd on each boot, put the following line
into /etc/rc.conf
You should now be prompted for
's passphrase whenever
Next, mount your new filesystems, and
restore your data into them. It often helps
to have /tmp
mounted properly first, as
restore can use a fair amount of temporary
space when extracting a large dumpfile.
To test your changes to the boot configuration,
umount the filesystems and unconfigure the
, so when you exit the single-user
shell, rc will run like on a clean boot,
prompting you for the passphrase and mounting your filesystems
correctly. Now you can bring the system up to multi-user, and
make sure everything works as before.
cgd(4) provides highly secure encryption of whole partitions
or disks. Unfortunately, creating "normal" CDs is not
disklabeling something and running newfs on it. Neither can you
just put a CDR into the drive, configure cgd and assume it to
write encrypted data when syncing. Standard CDs contain at
least an ISO-9660 filesystem created with mkisofs(8) from the
ISO images may not contain disklabels or
cgd partitions.
But of course CD reader/writer hardware doesn't care about filesystems at all. You can write raw data to the CD if you like - or an encrypted FFS filesystem, which is what we'll do here. But be warned, there is NO way to read this CD with any OS except NetBSD - not even other BSDs due to the lack of cgd.
The basic steps when creating an encrypted CD are:
Create an (empty) imagefile
Register it as a virtual disk using vnd(4)
Configure cgd inside the vnd disk
Copy content to the cgd
Unconfigure all (flush!)
Write the image on a CD
The first step when creating an encrypted CD is to create a single image file with dd. The image may not grow, so make it large enough to allow all CD content to fit into. Note that the whole image gets written to the CD later, so creating a 700 MB image for 100 MB content will still require a 700 MB write operation to the CD. Some info on DVDs here: DVDs are only 4.7 GB in marketing language. 4.7GB = 4.7 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 5046586573 bytes. In fact, a DVD can only approximately hold 4.7 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 4700000000 bytes, which is about 4482 MB or about 4.37 GB. Keep this in mind when creating DVD images. Don't worry for CDs, they hold "real" 700 MB (734003200 Bytes).
Invoke all following commands as root!
For a CD:
dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img bs=1m count=700
or, for a DVD:
dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img bs=1m count=4482
Now configure a vnd(4)-pseudo disk with the image:
vnconfig vnd0 image.img
In order to use cgd, a so-called parameter file, describing
encryption parameters and a containing "password salt" must be
generated. We'll call it /etc/cgd/image
here. You can use one parameter file for several encrypted
partitions (I use one different file for each host and a
shared file image
for all removable
media, but that's up to you).
I'll use AES-CBC with a keylength of 256 bits. Refer to cgd(4) and cgdconfig(8) for details and alternatives.
The following command will create the parameter file as
TO INVOKE THE FOLLOWING COMMAND AGAIN after you
burnt any CD, since a recreated parameter file is a lost
parameter file and you'll never access your encrypted CD again
(the "salt" this file contains will differ among each
call). Consider this file being HOLY, BACKUP
IT and BACKUP IT AGAIN! Use
switch -V to specify verification method "disklabel" for the CD
(cgd cannot detect whether you entered a valid password for the
CD later when mounting it otherwise).
cgdconfig -g -V disklabel aes-cbc 256 > /etc/cgd/image
Now it's time to configure a cgd for our vnd drive. (Replace slice "d" with "c" for all platforms that use "c" as the whole disk (where "sysctl kern.rawpartition" prints "2", not "3"); if you're on i386 or amd64, "d" is OK for you):
cgdconfig -V re-enter cgd1 /dev/vnd0d /etc/cgd/image
The "-V re-enter
" option is necessary
as long as the
cgd doesn't have a disklabel yet so we can access and
it. This switch asks for a password twice and uses it for
Now it's time to create a disklabel inside the cgd. The defaults of the label are ok, so invoking disklabel with
disklabel -e -I cgd1
and leaving vi with ":wq" immediately will do.
Let's create a filesystem on the cgd, and finally mount it somewhere:
newfs /dev/rcgd1a
mount /dev/cgd1a /mnt
The cgd is alive! Now fill /mnt
content. When finished, reverse the configuration process. The
steps are:
Unmounting the cgd1a:
umount /mnt
Unconfiguring the cgd:
cgdconfig -u cgd1
Unconfiguring the vnd:
vnconfig -u vnd0
The following commands are examples to burn the images on CD
or DVD. Please adjust the dev=
cdrecord or the /dev/rcd0d
growisofs. Note the
is necessary with NetBSD. Growisofs is
available in the sysutils/dvd+rw-tools
package. Again, use "c
" instead of
" if this is the raw partition on your
Finally, write the image file to a CD:
cdrecord dev=/dev/rcd0d -v image.img
...or to a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/rcd0d=image.img
Congratulations! You've just created a really secure CD!
After creating an encrypted CD as described above, we're not
done yet - what about mounting it again? One might guess,
configuring the cgd on /dev/cd0d
enough - no, it is not.
NetBSD cannot access FFS file systems on media that is not 512 bytes/sector format. It doesn't matter that the cgd on the CD is, since the CD's disklabel the cgd resides in has 2048 bytes/sector.
But the CD driver cd(4) is smart enough to grant "write" access to the (emulated) disklabel on the CD. So before configuring the cgd, let's have a look at the disklabel and modify it a bit:
disklabel -e cd0
# /dev/rcd0d: type: ATAPI disk: mydisc label: fictitious flags: removable bytes/sector: 2048# -- Change to 512 (= orig / 4)
sectors/track: 100# -- Change to 400 (= orig * 4)
tracks/cylinder: 1 sectors/cylinder: 100# -- Change to 400 (= orig * 4)
cylinders: 164 total sectors: 16386# -- Change to value of slice "d" (=65544)
rpm: 300 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # microseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds drivedata: 0 4 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs] a: 65544 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 655+) d: 65544 0 ISO9660 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 655+)
If you don't want to do these changes every time by hand, you
can use Florian Stoehr's tool neb-cd512 which is (at time of writing
this) in pkgsrc-wip and will move to
You can also download the neb-cd512 source from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/neb-stoehr/ (be sure
to use neb-cd512, not neb-wipe!).
It is invoked with the disk name as parameter, by root:
neb-cd512 cd0
Now as the disklabel is in 512 b/s format, accessing the CD is as easy as:
cgdconfig cgd1 /dev/cd0d /etc/cgd/image
mount -o ro /dev/cgd1a /mnt
Note that the cgd MUST be mounted read-only or you'll get illegal command errors from the cd(4) driver which can in some cases make even mounting a CD-based cgd impossible!
Now we're done! Enjoy your secure CD!
ls /mnt
Remember you have to reverse all steps to remove the CD:
umount /mnt
cgdconfig -u cgd1
eject cd0
You now have your filesystems encrypted within a
. When your machine is shut down, the data
is protected, and can't be decrypted without the passphrase.
However, there are still some dangers you should be aware of,
and more you can do with cgd
. This section
documents several further suggestions and warnings that will
help you use cgd
Use multiple cgd
's for different kinds of
data, one mounted all the time and others mounted only when
Use a cgd
configured on top of a
made from a file on a remote network
fileserver (NFS, SMBFS, CODA, etc) to safely store private data
on a shared system. This is similar to the procedure for
using encrypted CDs and DVDs described in Section 14.4, "Example: encrypted CDs/DVDs".
You may want to use a dedicated random-key
for swap space, regenerating the key
each reboot. The advantage of this is that once your machine
is rebooted, any sensitive program memory contents that may
have been paged out are permanently unrecoverable, because the
decryption key is never known to you.
We created a temporary cgd
with a random
key when scrubbing the disk in the example above, using a
shorthand cgdconfig -s invocation to avoid
creating a parameters file.
The cgdconfig params file includes a "randomkey" keygen method. This is more appropriate for "permanent" random-key configurations, and facilitates the easy automatic configuration of these volumes at boot time.
For example, if you wanted to convert your existing
partition to a dedicated
random-key cgd1, use the following command to generate
cgdconfig -g -o /etc/cgd/wd0b -V none -k randomkey blowfish-cbc
When using the randomkey keygen method, only verification
method "none" can be used, because the contents of the new
are effectively random each time (the
previous data decrypted with a random key). Likewise, the new
disk will not have a valid label or partitions, and
swapctl will complain about configuring
swap devices not marked as such in a disklabel.
In order to automate the process of labeling the disk,
prepare an appropriate disklabel and save it to a file, for
example /etc/cgd/wd0b.disklabel
. Please
refer to disklabel(8) for information about
how to use disklabel to set up a swap
On each reboot, to restore this saved label to the new
, create the
file as below:
swap_device="cgd1" swap_disklabel="/etc/cgd/wd0b.disklabel" start_postcmd="cgd_swap" cgd_swap() { if [ -f $swap_disklabel ]; then disklabel -R -r $swap_device $swap_disklabel fi }
The same technique could be extended to encompass using
newfs to re-create an
filesystem for
if you didn't want to use
Prevent cryptographic disasters by making sure you can always recover your passphrase and parameters file. Protect the parameters file from disclosure, perhaps by storing it on removable media as above, because the salt it contains helps protect against dictionary attacks on the passphrase.
Keeping the data encrypted on your disk is all very well, but what about other copies? You already have at least one other such copy (the backup we used during this setup), and it's not encrypted. Piping dump through file-based encryption tools like gpg can be one way of addressing this issue, but make sure you have all the keys and tools you need to decrypt it to restore after a disaster.
Like any form of software encryption, the
key stays in kernel memory while the
device is configured, and may be accessible to privileged
programs and users, such as /dev/kmem
grovellers. Taking other system security steps, such as
running with elevated securelevel, is highly recommended.
Once the cgd
volumes are mounted as normal
filesystems, their contents are accessible like any other
file. Take care of file permissions and ensure your running
system is protected against application and network security
Avoid using suspend/resume, especially for laptops with a BIOS
suspend-to-disk function. If an attacker can resume your
laptop with the key still in memory, or read it from the
suspend-to-disk memory image on the hard disk later, the whole
point of using cgd
is lost.

Lady Greyhounds score four all-state softball selections
Gaston's third straight league championship leads to Class 2A/1A all-state recognition
Following another successful spring, Gastons softball team was well-represented on the Class 2A/1A all-state team with the inclusion of four players.
Tayla Kuyl and Haylie Davis were first team all-state picks, Brielle Matson earned a second-team nod, and Cassie Van Dyke received honorable mention recognition.
It is very exciting, and they all deserved it, so I am very proud of them, said Ciera Jones, who guided the Lady Greyhounds to a 22-6 overall record in her first season at Gaston.
In addition to helping post the sparkling overall mark, the all-state quartet led the squad to a 14-1 record and third consecutive Northwest League title, plus a 16-game winning streak that carried the Hounds to the quarterfinals of the Class 2A/1A state playoffs.
In late May, after knocking off Riddle 11-1 in five innings to post the programs first playoff win since the 2009 season, Gaston fell 11-4 to eventual state runner-up Yoncalla in the quarterfinals.
Kuyl, the Greyhounds second baseman, blasted opposing pitchers for a .468 batting average, and all of her 33 hits were singles. She was also effective at drawing walks, making base on balls 18 times. She also stole 17 bases and struck out just five times.
She was getting on base, which is why I had her in my leadoff position, Jones said. She, I believe, had our highest batting average, but her on-base percentage ... was just incredible, and she was a very heads-up base runner.
I think she really came out of her shell this year and really stepped up to the plate.
Davis made the all-state first team as a designated hitter/utility player. She posted a .422 batting average and recorded 38 hits, including five doubles and four triples. She also drew 12 walks and stole 12 bases.
The teams primary pitcher in 2012, Davis pitched more sparingly this season after first sharing duties with Matson and then being hit by illness midway through the spring. She went 3-3 in the circle, striking out 62 batters, and played a little bit of everything right field, third base, even taking to the pitchers circle with little notice when needed.
Haylie was a player that no matter what I needed, I could call on her and she, without any hesitation, would perform for me, Jones said.
For Matson, the all-state designation capped a comeback from 2012, when she broke her ankle in Gastons first game and missed the season. This time around, she went a dominating 18-3, fanning 167 and walking just 24. She was also a weapon at the plate for the Greyhounds, batting .444 with 30 hits. She also stole five bases and struck out only seven times.
Her speed was something that a lot of girls in 2A dont get to see, and she did have movement and she had a lot of control, Jones noted. It was a huge difference from the first game we played in the season where she walked the first four or five batters, which really hurt us to the very end, where I think she may have been averaging a walk a game, if that.
Van Dyke showed a great deal of mettle just to play on the diamond this spring. Because Van Dyke had torn her ACL during basketball season, Jones started her off at third base, not wanting to stress the injured knee. But eventually, she moved her back behind the plate. Despite the injury, Van Dyke posted a .419 batting average with 36 hits, including six for extra bases. She also walked six times and stole four bases.
She was by far one of the most coachable girls Ive ever come across, Jones said. At the end of the season, I knew our team would be stronger with her behind the plate because she didnt hesitate to pick off players or to call plays, call pitches. She was just very confident.
Of the four all-state players, Van Dyke, Matson and Kuyl were all seniors for the 2013 season, while Davis was a sophomore. In all, the Greyhounds counted six seniors on their roster, though Davis should be a nice building block in 2014.
Said Jones: I think she has a lot of potential, and we started to uncover it this year.

A veteran Toledo police officer was arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court yesterday on charges that he inappropriately touching at least four women when stopping them for offenses, authorities said.
Officer Christopher McQueen, 42, who was appointed to the department in December, 1993, was charged with five counts of sexual imposition in January. He was released on his own recognizance; another hearing was scheduled for Feb. 25.
The allegations stem from five incidents from June to August last year involving four women, who told investigators they were fondled by Mr. McQueen before being arrested or cited.
Mr. McQueen voluntarily took himself off the department s payroll in September when he was questioned by internal affairs investigators.

Jackson Pollock (1912 – 1956), the pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, challenged the artistic tradition of using an easel and brush by pouring and dripping paint onto canvases. His groundbreaking works had a childlike quality which belied their stunning complexity and sophistication. Driven by inner torment which compelled him to paint, Pollock attached large canvases to the floor, densely pouring, dripping and flinging paint embedded with sand or glass onto them with intense physical movement. Influenced by Picasso, Miró, and the Surrealists, Pollock also revolutionized a style of painting in which the work has no identifiable parts or point of emphasis, and is painted with a stream-of-consciousness technique called psychic automatism.

Ravenna 21, Field 13
Varsity Letters Player of the Game: Ravenna senior wide receiver/running back/safety Jonathan Davis.
Davis carried the ball 19 times for 91 yards and a touchdown. His 1-yard touchdown run gave Ravenna a 14-7 lead with 7:48 left in the game. Davis then helped the Ravens (7-2, 6-0 in the PTC Metro Division) seal the win with a 28-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Bobby Clement.
With the win, Ravenna clinched at least a share of the PTC Metro Division title and will have a chance to win the championship outright next week when it hosts Springfield.
Field (8-1, 5-1) suffered its first loss of the season.
Davis was also a force on defense. He forced a fumble that was recovered by Ravenna as Field's comeback attempt was delayed. After Field scored a touchdown with 20 seconds left, Davis blocked the Falcons' extra-point kick.
"Jonathan Davis took the game over," Ravenna coach Jim Lunardi said. "He stood out."
Davis knew that his big plays on offense were important, but he said the Ravens defense was the difference because it was able to prevent Field from making a late comeback by forcing turnovers.
"We stayed pumped up," Jonathan Davis said. "That's one thing about our defense, we never get down. We stay hyped up. No matter what the offense is doing, our defense keeps us in the game."

Ravenna senior fullback Roy Davis points to the sky after he scored a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the Ravens' 21-13 win over previously undefeated Field on Friday night.

Generally known for her tough, wrenching dramas, it looks like Susanne Bier has taken a page out of the Woody Allen playbook (though without the name brand, ensemble cast) for her upcoming effort "Love Is All You Need." Featuring an exotic location, a potpourri of languages, and a mix of romance and drama, the film looks like it's poised to be a breezy little number.
Pierce Brosnan stars in the film that centers on a young couple, Astrid and Patrick, who are getting married in Sorrento in southern Italy. Their two families come together, bringing their issues with them: there's Astrid's mother Ida, a hairdresser suffering from cancer who has just been left by her husband of 25 years, Leif. Leif shows up with Thilde, his new blonde girlfriend. And there's also Astrid's brother Kenneth, who has an explosive temper. Meanwhile, there's Patrick's father, Philip (Brosnan), who hasn't quite gotten over his wife's tragic death. Stir it all up, and you have "Love Is All You Need."
As we said, it looks fairly light, perhaps slight, but not without its charms. And visually, it looks pretty damn stunning, with cinematography being handled by Morten Søborg, a regular collaborator of Bier's, who has also worked on Nicolas Winding Refn's "Valhalla Rising," "Bleeder" and the "Pusher" trilogy.
"Love Is All You Need" opens in Denmark on September 6th and we'd guess that given the Italian setting, and the fact that it's directed by fest-fave Susanne Bier, a Venice premiere seems like a no-brainer. Sony Pictures Classics have the U.S. rights for the movie, but considering we already have "To Rome With Love" this summer, and that the general feel of Bier's film is not of awards-season bait, we'd reckon it will be 2013 before it crosses the pond (though perhaps it will make a pit stop on the fall festival circuit in a few months).
Anyway, watch the trailer below — no subtitles, but there's enough from Brosnan and from the situations that you should be able to pretty easily figure out what's going on.

Knee replacement is a procedure in which damaged or diseased parts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with new artificial parts, which may be made up of combination of metal, plastic or ceramic.
It may be considered as a treatment option when non surgical methods do not bring desired relief and the joint is severely damaged.
Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and thus help to improve knee joint functioning.
Most common cause for replacement is seen in joints affected by-Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Post traumatic arthritis.
It can be done under general, spinal, or epidural anaesthesia.
Through an incision made on the skin, the damaged cartilage surfaces at the ends of the femur and tibia are removed along with a small amount of underlying bone. These are replaced with a metal component which is cemented or press-fit into the bone. A medical-grade plastic spacer is inserted between the metal components to create a smooth gliding surface.
This is termed as Total Knee Replacement.
There can be Partial/Unicompartmental Knee Replacement- when arthritis is confined to single compartment of the knee. Only the damaged portion is replaced, leaving the normal portion as such.
If needed, both knee joints can be replaced simultaneously.
Single knee replacement usually takes 2-3 hours. Hospital stay is of 5-10 days.
Physical therapy is started the next day of operation. You are advised to walk with walker from the next day.
One can resume routine activities in 3-4 weeks after the surgery and an active lifestyle in about 6 weeks. You would be advised to refrain from doing certain high impact activities like jogging and jumping etc.

Just got this Meier amp today. In these pics the amp has not yet been removed from its box. There is only a handful of peanuts, and two plastic bubbles--no packing behind, on the sides, or over the top. The volume knob *seems* to not have been jarred, and as an SS amp its probably fine. Still, I'm pretty disappointed at the retarded packing of this item.
I won't be able to give it a go for a couple of weeks, till the rest of my equipment shows up.

Almonds: Why we're all going nuts & need to stop going overboard
Going through your morning news or heck maybe just your Facebook feed, you'll at some point inevitably come across the latest "superfood" craze. At some point along the way, food has become fashionable, so much so that we eat it in droves, consume quinoa for two to three meals and now that grains appear to be the devil, we're turning to almonds as our savior.
Almond milk, almond bread, almond muffins, almond cookies, almond biscuits…well, you get the point.
So my point to this blog post is that people, we're going overboard and the almond craze needs to stop.
Woah Melissa, are you saying that after all your smoothie recipes, bread recipes, etc. that you're now telling me to cut it out completely?
No, of course not. After all, I'm a consumer of almond milk as well, making my own and sometimes relying on the boxed stuff if I run out. What I am going to tell you is why you shouldn't be having it as much as you are and why its important to shake things up in your world.
Almonds & Oxalate Acid
If you're a Paleo lover or simply taking a grain-free diet out for a test drive, let me urge you to evaluate the amount of nuts you're having. Just because you no longer have bread, doesn't mean that you have to replace your previous excess consumption with another food. Whether it's almonds or any other nut, realize that they're high in oxalate acid, which is what plants produce so that they don't get eaten. You see in a normal, healthy individual oxalate acid will have little effect, but if you suffer from any gastrointestinal issues or have a history of kidney stones, you'll want to moderate the level of nuts you're consuming, because get this: 1 cup of almonds is equivalent to 90 ALMONDS.
Solution: Rather than going crazy with nuts, mix things up with lower oxalate acid foods like coconut. So think about diluting some coconut milk for smoothies, using coconut flour for breads and muffins and even crepes. Here's a delicious nut-free option to try:
Coconut Flour Crepes
1 egg 3 tbsp coconut milk (full fat)
1 heaping scoop of coconut flour
1⁄4 tsp cinnamon
5 drops of stevia
Filling: 1 tbsp nut butter
Mixed fruit (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a Vitamix and pour a little bit on a nonstick frying pan and rotate the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. The edges should curl up and the crepe should bubble a bit. Flip after a couple of minutes and do the same for the other side.
Almonds & Arginine
If you're someone who's prone to getting cold sores, then you may want to consider using another nut, because almonds are high in arginine an amino acid that can promote cold sores. Now this isn't to say its just almonds that are high in arginine, but also walnuts, Brazil nuts and peanuts are too.
Solution: Pecans. In fact, they're about the least offensive nut and if you love your almond milk, but get an attack shortly after, then try making pecan milk which gives a naturally sweet mapley flavour.
Creamy Pecan Milk
1 cup pecans (soaked overnight)
5 cups water
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp lecithin granules
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Dash sea salt
Blend together in the morning in your Vitamix and strain with a nut milk bag. Seal in a mason jar and refrigerate. Enjoy!
Almonds & The Omega 6 Debate
There is no question that diets in North America are very heavy in omega 6. Think yin/yang here, because we need to have a proper balance of omega 6 to omega 3. Almonds for example (and most nuts) are high in omega 6 and too much of it can actually cause inflammation. So before you get frustrated and throw up your nuts in the air like confetti, remember not to over consume them. It's all about moderation.
Solution: Moderate your consumption of nuts and increase your omega 3 content: walnuts, sardines, edamame, wild rice or simply take a fish oil daily. Now let's face it, most of us are nut lovers, but just like anything what you love the most can hurt you the most – and that goes with just about anything in life. So in the meantime, if you are using nuts, eat them in moderation. Remember to soak them overnight to increase the digestive capability of them and store them in your fridge since they're rich in volatile oils that can go off if stored improperly.
So now my question is off to you: What almond products do you use daily? Do you think you're consuming too much?

Herron earned Bronze Star in Vietnam
Updated 11:35 pm, Monday, January 28, 2013
The son of a coal miner, Gary Herron learned the value of hard work early on.
He was 2 when his father succumbed to black lung disease, spurring Herron to take odd jobs as a youth to help support his mother and sister.
"He had an uncle who was in the Army. He always seemed to have money in his pocket, and he had a car. Just seemed like he had everything," son Dr. Gary Herron II said.
At 17, the influence of his uncle led Herron to enlist in the Army. He became a clinical specialist serving as a licensed practical nurse.
His service took him to Vietnam, where he earned the Bronze Star and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm, two honors his son only learned of recently while sifting through his father's possessions.
"He was a humble man. I'm not surprised that he earned those, knowing the kind of man he was. But I'm also not surprised that he never talked about it," the son said.
Herron died Jan. 18 of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He was 70.
After the war, Herron was stationed in San Antonio, where he attended the first physician's assistant program offered at Fort Sam Houston.
His high marks earned him a medical school slot, but Herron turned that down to focus on his ever-growing family. It was enough for him that many years later his son became a dentist, the younger Herron said.
Throughout his military service, Herron mostly enjoyed "being part of the greater good," his son said. He had a deep sense of pride taking care of fellow servicemen.
After 22 years, Herron retired from the Army and began a second career as a safety officer aboard offshore oil rigs.
Often on rigs in the middle of nowhere, Herron offered medical services to crew members while making sure safety regulations were followed.
His son said he once helped 78 crew members escape an electrical fire that broke out on a rig off the coast of Peru and that he fought off pirates with water cannons in the Strait of Malacca off Indonesia.
"He felt like he was still in the service. He was taking care of his men again, while having an adventure," his son said. "He just had a sense of service and duty. He always said, 'If we don't make a difference in the lives of the people around us, why even get up in the morning?'"

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mayor Michael Nutter said Tuesday it would be "pure speculation" to say a contractor's cigarette caused a gas explosion that leveled a Philadelphia home, injuring eight people.
A deputy fire marshal told reporters that investigators have not been able to interview the injured worker, who is in critical condition with burns following Monday's explosion.
Furthermore, Nutter said, the city hasn't been able to confirm that gas was leaking at the time, correcting a city statement previously that a gas leak was to blame for leveling the unoccupied home, which was being remodeled.
Councilman Mark Squilla had said earlier at the scene that a contractor had been trying to light the pilot on a water heater. He said neighbors reported that the man lit a cigarette at one point and the house exploded.
"That is pure speculation at this point," Nutter said Tuesday at a news conference.
The mayor said all work at the site requiring permits were completed Friday, including installation of the hot water heater, and only cosmetic work was being done. He said the worker inside apparently was doing floor work for which no permit was required, but officials haven't yet been able to confirm that detail.
Nutter said more than 20 residents will be allowed to return to their homes Tuesday night.
The blast came less than two months after a collapse at a Philadelphia demolition site that killed six people.

Yesterday after missing 10+ phone calls, and getting the lecture of why I even have a phone in the first place...I thought I might just drive Paul crazy enough to not come home last night. :)
When he came home he delivered me a bouquet of flowers and a package of chocolate dipped strawberries. I cried. After everything seemed to go wrong, he still managed to make everything right.
I woke up this morning to make a special Valentine breakfast for Savannah before school, and we started talking about her Daddy. I loved when she said this...
"Mommy, I mean I don't wanna hurt your feelings on Valentine's Day, but Daddy is much better at grocery shopping than you. He remembers everything, and even buys special things for my lunch."
That girls loves her Daddy, and will defend him to the end...
When I started thinking about Devin, and what he would say about why he loves his Daddy this came to mind.
Devin really hates going to nursery. He hates strangers. He doesn't give his love freely. When I say let him cry it out, and he will get use to it...Paul stays with him. When Paul goes past his classroom, and sees him sitting on a chair in the corner by himself...Paul goes back in and comforts him. I am sure Devin appreciates this.
And then there is baby Sabrina, and why she loves him. When we found out we were having her, Paul was the one that was excited. When we thought we lost her, Paul was the one that wanted to try to have another one. When we found out we were still having a baby...he told the ultrasound tech "just tell me it's my girl!"
We are a lucky little group of people to have a guy like him around.
We love you Daddy!

Farm-Stand Cherry Pie
This beautiful pie in a rustic cornmeal crust delights both the eye and the taste buds.
Total Time:
- 1½ c. all-purpose flour
- ⅓ c. cornmeal
- 1 tbsp. cornmeal
- .67 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- .13 tsp. salt
- ½ c. margarine or butter
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1½ lb. dark sweet cheries
- 1 large egg white
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup cornmeal, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. With pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 4 to 5 tablespoons cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture, mixing with hands until dough comes together (it will feel dry at first). Shape into a ball.
- Sprinkle large cookie sheet with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Place dampened towel under cookie sheet to prevent it from slipping. With floured rolling pin, roll dough, on cookie sheet, into a 13-inch round. With long metal spatula, gently loosen round from cookie sheet.
- In large bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar with cornstarch. Sprinkle half of sugar mixture over center of dough round, leaving a 2 1/2-inch border all around. Add cherries and any cherry juice to sugar mixture remaining in bowl; toss well. With slotted spoon, spoon cherry mixture over sugared area on dough round (reserve any cherry-juice mixture in bowl). Fold dough up around cherries, leaving a 4-inch opening in center. Pinch dough to seal any cracks.
- In cup, mix egg white and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Brush egg-white mixture over dough; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Pour cherry-juice mixture through opening in top of pie. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes. Bake pie 45 to 50 minutes until crust is golden brown and cherry mixture is gently bubbling, covering pie loosely with foil during last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning.
- As soon as pie is done, use long metal spatula to loosen it from cookie sheet to prevent sticking. Cool pie 15 minutes on cookie sheet, then slide onto wire rack to cool completely.

Treating Infectious Diseases in a Microbial World (October 2005)
Report in BriefHumans coexist with millions of harmless microorganisms, but emerging diseases, resistance to antibiotics, and the threat of bioterrorism are forcing scientists to look for new ways to confront the microbes that do pose a danger. This report identifies innovative approaches to the development of antimicrobial drugs and vaccines based on a greater understanding of how the human immune system interacts with both good and bad microbes. The report concludes that the development of a single superdrug to fight all infectious agents is unrealistic.
