Sgt Disher completed a full tour of duty with the 92nd Bomb Group, 407th Squadron 29-May-1943 thru 25 Feb-1944. As a member of The 1st Lt. Frederick T. Presse crew, shown after returning to base in the crew picture above. (Disher is front row middle)
Disher participated in the ill fated mission to Stuttgart on 6 - Sept - 1943, where the Eighth AAF suffered it's highest losses to date, due to poor planning and communication problems., Ditching their damaged aircraft and out of fuel in the Channel on September 6,1943. They ditched 6 miles off the French coast, North of LeHavre while returning from Stuttgart. The crew and three other crews that had been forced to ditch in the Channel were rescued by Air Sea Rescue.
Upon completion of his tour Sgt Disher returned to the United States as was promised all air crew upon completion of their tour. Sgt Disher then volunteered for a second tour of duty and was assigned to the 100th Bomb Group.
On 18-March 1945 421 1st Air Division B-17's attacked two Rail Marshalling Yards in Berlin, Germany. Seven B17's were downed by heavy enemy Flak concentrations. Six B17's including A/C 43-38861 (Sgt Dishers ac) by ME-262's attacking en masse. March 18th was the first attack by ME-262's in Gruppe (Group) Strength. According to Roger Freeman in his book "The Mighty Eighth" "Near Salzwedel some 20 minutes from the target, four ME-262's came out of clouds and attacked the 100ths low squadron which was badly strung out aind in poor formation. Coming in from 75 yards to point blank range before firing, the enemy pilots could hardly miss and left three B-17's in a sorry state. One dived away on fire and crashed behind the Russian lines. The port wing of the lead machine was also in flames and the crew parachuted. Soon three ME-262's returned for a second pass in which they shot the complete tail section off a B-17" (Dishers A/C). "Bomber calls for fighter help went largely unheeded as there was difficulty in making contact. Fighters were also hampered by poor visibility".
This mission was one with Fighter Escort all the way into the target and back, Six of 425 VIII Fighter Command fighter aircraft were also shot down. The heavy loss of bombers was attributed to heavy concentrations of flak and one of the first mass attack of ME-262's.
A/C 43-38861 was attacked by the ME-262's causing a fire in the mid section of the A/C, the radio room. This is where Sgt Disher was positioned as Radar Controller (Sgt Disher). He and the Radio operator were burned very badly. As the A/C fell away from the formation the ME-262's continued to attack. Damage to the A/C was so severe that the tail section broke away from the fuselage. The Tail gunner was able to bail out from the opening where the fuselage had been severed. All crew were able to bail out of the A/C, with the exception of the Radio Operator (T/Sgt Danielson), Radar Controller (Sgt Disher), and Ball Turret Gunner (Sgt Uhler), who was trapped in the Ball, ("He apparently rode the ball all the way to the ground" was a comment made by one survivor).
The last account of the status of Sgt Disher was witnessed by S/Sgt Heilbuth (Waist Gunner) who saw Sgt Disher right before Heilbuth bailed out of the A/C. Disher was crawling out of the radio room with blood all over himself, but he did not have time to help him as the A/C was below the clouds which were not much over 500 ft, so he had to jump. Disher probably never got to the door to jump as the plane must have hit only a few seconds later.
Pilot (Lt Gwin), managed to bail out of the A/C and his chute was seen to open. Witnesses on the ground heard gunfire as the pilots chute was desending. Gwin was apparently killed in his chute. Germans told the POW's that he was killed.

A man dressed as Spider-Man is under arrest for slugging a police officer who told him to stop harassing tourists in New York's Times Square.
Junior Bishop is charged with assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and criminal mischief.
Police say the officer interceded after Bishop demanded at least $5 from a woman he posed for a picture with, instead of the $1 she offered.
The officer told the costumed 25-year-old he could only accept tips – not require payment.
Police say a yelling, cursing Bishop broke free from arrest after failing to produce identification and punched the officer in the face.
The 18-month NYPD veteran was treated for a cut and eye swelling and released.
Other officers arrived and hauled Spider-Man away.

Senior all-around champions Kristina Vaculik (Gemini) and Nathan Gafuik (Univ. of Calgary) struck more gold Saturday as the 2012 Canadian Gymnastics Championships concluded in Regina, Sask.
Vaculik — who won her third career senior all-around title on Thursday — added individual golds on uneven bars (14.400) and balance beam (14.600), as well as the silver medal on floor exercise.
Vaculik, 19, now leads the contenders for Canada's squad for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Coached by 1980 Olympic all-around champion Yelena Davydova, Vaculik is taking the year off from her studies at Stanford University to train for London.
Ellie Black (Halifax Alta) won the gold medal on vault and the bronze medal on floor exercise (2 1/2 twist to triple twist). All-around runner-up Victoria Moors (Dynamo) won floor exercise with an exquisite combination of tumbling and artistry (watch).
The full women's squad to London will be decided after a final trials in June in Quebec.
The Canadian men qualified only one gymnast to the 2012 Olympics, and Gafuik seems certain of claiming the spot after his all-around victory. He added the gold medal on high bar to cap off his successful championships in Regina.

RoboLinux Smooths the Linux Migration Path
Jun 5, 2014 1:16 PM PT
RoboLinux is an impressive traditional Linux desktop distro. It could be an ideal vehicle for both enterprises and SOHOs to make the migration to Linux. RoboLinux comes with a few extra features that solve some of the potential problems of leaving other desktop platforms. One of its more enticing migration tools is a preconfigured virtual machine add-on that greatly reduces the IT burden of setting up Windows XP or Windows 7 to run in a VM environment within the Linux distro.
The website gives the impression that RoboLinux is unique in that it lets you run Windows in a VM setting that is immune to viruses and malware. However, all Linux distros are immune to the targeting attacks of decades-old viruses, as well as new malware. Running Windows in a VM setting within any VM-capable Linux distro will achieve the same degree of safety for Microsoft Windows.
Still, RoboLinux has an additional feature set that provides its own process for doing this. For example, it comes with desktop links to download C Drive to VM and Stealth VM Software. These packages work with RoboLinux to clone an existing Windows installation and transfer it to a virtual machine in RoboLinux.
Under the Hood
The latest release is version 7.5.2 available since May 20. It includes a number of fixes in the previous release of version 7.5.1 earlier in May. These include rewritten code for the Robolinux Stealth VM Software that lets RoboLinux utilize Robolinux C: Drive to VM Support Package.
RoboLinux is based on Debian (Stable) Linux and supports i386 and x86_64 architectures. Its desktop engine is an optimized Gnome 3 Classic Desktop.
This Gnome 3 desktop structure is partly responsible for the easy migration users experience in transitioning to RoboLinux. It puts five workspaces right on the top panel bar. Adding or removing workspaces is as easy as making mouse clicks on the panel bar.
The top bar holds the notification icons, access to basic system controls, and a Windows XP-style menu launcher. The bottom panel bar shows minimized and opened windows and numerous quick-launch icons for favorite programs.
Look and Feel
Anyone coming to RoboLinux as a first-time Linux user will avoid the typical adjustments needed to navigate most modernized Linux GUIs. The modified Gnome 3 shell eliminates any frustration from hidden side panels that display multiple workstations.
Users do not lose their comfort zones. The desktop works much like it worked in earlier Microsoft Windows iterations. The vast majority of stock applications are well integrated into the RoboLinux desktop. This gives users the impression that the system is well designed and unified.
I test a variety of Linux distros weekly. I run several favorite Linux desktops on my arsenal of work computers. I tend to favor the Linux Mint Cinnamon desktop on well-endowed hardware and the Xfce desktop on distros running on my older and slower gear.
I tested RoboLinux on a single-core desktop with barely 1 GB of RAM. I was very pleased with its performance. I missed nothing from the snazzier eye-popping effects of other Linux desktops.
Loaded Software
RoboLinux uses the gpk-application Package Manager for Gnome. I had not run a traditional Gnome 3 Linux system in quite a while. so I was a bit surprised to see Add/Remove Software in the Systems menu. I had to remind myself that I was not running Microsoft Windows.
You also can add and remove Linux software using the Synaptic Pakcage Manager. Under System Tools are several levels of add-on options, such as a Proprietary Software Installer, Additional Drivers, installers for the Oracle VM VirtualBox, and 32- and 64-bit VM installers for Windows XP and Windows 7.
Another set of special system tools lets you back up and restore the Windows Virtual Machine and turn on/off the RoboLinux VM Data Sync control.
The process of maintaining RoboLinux packages is about the same as with any Linux distro. The Software Update manager is easy to use. IT staff will love the Admin Tools that provide several dozen scripts for tasks that otherwise would require proficiency in using the command line.
Nice Touches
RoboLinux adds several special touches to bridge the gap between the older-style Gnome desktop and more modern desktop styles. One is the 3D Applications Dock available in the Applications menu.
This launches a 2D Docky bar on the bottom of the screen, as well as a 2D favorites bar that slides out from the right edge of the screen.
Another nice touch is the CompizConfig Settings Manager in the Preferences menu. Many of the settings are already checked to activate the screen effects that make the earlier Gnome desktop design a standard that is missed in other desktop systems.
Getting Things Done
The only specialized Linux software I had to add for my own needs was the Geany IDE Text Editor. Otherwise, RoboLinux came with more preinstalled applications than I typically see in Linux distros.
For example, both the Firefox and Google Chrome Web browsers were provided. So was the LibreOffice Suite. Included as well were Inkscape Vector Grpahics Editor and Shotwell Photo Manager and GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).
Even my must-have tools were waiting for me -- namely, Brassero Disc Burner, Kazam Screencaster, Rythmbox music Player, VLC Media Player and Sound Juicer Audio CD Extractor.
Causing Confusion
RoboLinux is fast and easy to download and install, but its developer may be a bit overzealous in his marketing efforts. Potential users not accustomed to Linux easily could be turned off by the attempt to get them to pay for RoboLinux.
I'm not talking about support contracts or business add-on packages; I mean requiring donations just to download free open source software.
The main page has several sections with video links and download links to various virtual machine packages. These are the same ones available donation-free from within RoboLinux itself.
The download page has some of this same marketing material presented as information about RoboLinux VM and Stealth VM support. All of this precedes the bottom link to download RoboLinux itself. This is a maze of confusion.
Pay No Money
The very bottom of the download page presents the links to get RoboLinux and the Robolinux Stealth VM Software Installer. However, the first is accompanied by a button that seems to require a US$2 minimum contribution. The second has a button that appears to require a $7 minimum contribution.
Both of these download buttons from the developer's website take you to PayPal transaction page. You cannot proceed without entering payment details. The only other option is a link to cancel and return to the RoboLinux website.
I encourage everyone to support open source developers with contributions -- but I oppose mandatory "contributions" to download free open source Linux distros.
Should you pay to download RoboLinux? You might decide to do that -- but a better option might be to get the same current releases from a source that does not beg for or require contributions. I downloaded RoboLinux from Sourceforge, for example.
Bottom Line
RoboLinux is an excellent Linux distro for businesses looking to avoid the Windows XP and Windows 8 fiascoes. However, the traditional Gnome 3 desktop design may not please experienced Linux power users.
RoboLinux is a robust Linux desktop solution for a home office, as well as for SOHO and enterprise users looking for a well-protected migration path away from other operating systems. Its modified traditional desktop design and built-in virtual machine packages for running windows XP and Windows 7 from within the Linux desktop make it an easy and reliable alternative to Linux distros that lack the built-in preconfigured VM feature.

Web site-Core4x4.net
IMPORTANT: Entry fee is at least one BRAND NEW toy still in the original packaging! Please do not ask to participate if you are empty handed.
It's that time of year again in the Chicago area. Time to start the buzz of one of the biggest and most important 4x4 events of the year. GLJT's Toys for Tots parade. .this event has grown into something that belongs to the 4x4 community as a whole. With 250 vehicles, over 500 people, and 20 different clubs represented. this has been covered on local TV networks, newspapers, and escorted by Chicago police.
This year we will be starting at the 31st beach parking lot The parade will leave at 10:00am SHARP! So please get there early enough to have time to get those Christmas decorations on your vehicle. Did I forget to mention decorations? The parade is never complete without them. Some participants have really gone all out for this event. Decorating their jeeps like Santa's sleigh, or leaving no piece of sheet metal on the Durango untouched.
That leads up to the other thing that participants are highly encouraged to do. While the entry fee is at least one toy, please try to bring more than just one. Participants always come with vehicles full to the top with donations from friends, family, and coworkers.
Once attendees get there and are ready to leave at 10 we head north on Lake Shore Drive to Foster Ave. Exit on Foster, and take Foster west to the US Marine headquarters for toy drop off. Be sure to have your CB radio on during the drive. We'll be on channel 4. If you've never seen 300 decorated 4x4's being escorted down LSD by Chicago police ... you just have to be there. It's a breathtaking site, especially when one considers the cause that this is for.
If for some reason anyone is unfamiliar ... the Toys for Tots foundation is run by the US Marine corps. It was put into place to help raise toys as Christmas presents for needy children. I think there are a lot of people here that have it better than most, it's important to remember that, and not take it for granted. Every child deserves at least one new present for Christmas. With your help we can make that happen. If you come out and ride with us, you will make a difference. And you might get your mug on the nightly news!

Schroders Quickview: Dollar strength tips Fed towards later rate rise
The latest statement from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) had something for everyone, with both hawks and doves claiming it confirmed their views on the future path of rates. Although it remains a close call, we are pushing our forecast for the first US rate rise out from June to September 2015.
As expected, the Fed dropped its pledge to be "patient" before raising rates thus creating the opportunity to move for the first time in nearly a decade. Although this supports the view that the first rate rise will come in June, any hawkish sentiment was softened by a dovish assessment of the economy.
The Federal Open Market Committee cut its forecasts for growth, inflation and future interest rates. In short, the Fed sees more slack and less wage pressure than before, meaning that it can take its time in making its first move.
Rate hike bet too tight to mention
From our perspective the timing of the first rate hike is still a close call. The labour market will continue to tighten. Unemployment is set to drop significantly further. We expect activity to pick up after the recent soft patch, which owes much to the one-off effects of bad weather and the West coast dock strike.
Against this have been concerns about low headline inflation and the risk of contagion to the emerging markets from higher US rates. However, low headline CPI prints are a consequence of low energy prices (which we see as positive for the economy) and contagion risks are always with us and will only build if rates never rise.
Tightening monetary conditions
In our view, the factor tipping the balance toward a later move is the strengthening of the US dollar. Whilst a strong dollar has been part of our forecast we did not expect the scale of the move seen since the start of the year.
As a result monetary conditions have tightened by more than expected, putting downward pressure on activity. In particular, imported goods prices will be lower, thus weighing on core inflation and allowing the Fed more leeway on tightening.
We still believe that rates need to rise as the economy is getting back to normal with unemployment near equilibrium and credit growth resuming. However, the Fed is clearly happy to be cautious and keep the liquidity flowing for a little longer.

For all you World of Warcraft fans out there I have a special treat; a lesson on "how to draw Wow", step by step. The logo or words for the extremely popular computer game is well-recognized and is often drawn on books, walls, and even computers of all lovers of the game. For Christmas I actually bought my fourteen year old sister a black tee-shirt with the words 'World of Warcraft' printed on the front. She is a big time fan of the game and we used play together all the time about a year ago. It might be tricky to start this tutorial or task because there is a lot of lines, edges, and points involved when making each letter of the logo. The complexity level for this lesson is going to be set at intermediate, and I do suggest that you have yourself a ruler, pencil, and good eraser handy before even attempting to begin the tutorial. If I was drawing the letters for WOW on paper, I would definitely not proceed unless I had those three basic drawing tools. You don't need any kind of fantasy pencil, but you do need a good ruler and eraser. If you have a plastic ruler, be sure there are no nicks along the edge because you will end up with uneven or bumpy lines when you are going for a straight creation. A wooden ruler with the metal line insert should also be free of nicks and bumps. Anyways, this should be as fun as playing the game, so go ahead and see if you can draw World of Warcraft with minimal mistakes, but don't worry if you have a few bumps along the way. Peace people and I hope you have an awesome drawing day!

Don't Worry If You Need to Start Insulin
Face your fears! Get answers to your concerns and the lowdown on starting insulin to treat diabetes.
Here's the plain truth about type 2 diabetes: It's a progressive disease, which means that over time, your pancreas will produce less and less of its own insulin. Eventually, oral meds will likely not be enough to keep your blood sugar in check. So if your doctor has told you that insulin may be the next step, don't panic. More important, don't let these common concerns and outright misconceptions prevent you from embracing the therapy that can help you lead a long and active life.
Concern: "Insulin injections will hurt"
No doubt about it, vaccine shots do hurt—that's because they're injected deep into your arm muscle. Not so with insulin injections, which are administered just below the skin in fatty tissue with few nerve endings. Plus, "the needle tips today are very short and extremely fine," says Beverly Adler, PhD, CDE, author of My Sweet Life: Successful Women with Diabetes. "There is no pain involved." And she should know: With her 37-year history of type 1 diabetes, she's given herself countless injections. If you're still anxious, however, try one of these techniques:
- Try using a numbing cream before injecting. A cheaper alternative? Place an ice pack directly on the site for 10 to 20 seconds prior to beginning.
- Ask your pharmacist for saline solution, also known as sodium chloride, so you can practice giving yourself a dose without the pressure of real medicine.
- Use an insulin pen, which doesn't contain a syringe and can help you avoid having to watch the injection.
- Consider an insulin pump. The device administers the hormone through a catheter, eliminating the need for injections.
Concern: "It will make me gain weight"
It's true—because insulin helps your body use and store glucose properly as well as metabolize fat and protein more efficiently, weight gain can result. But these strategies can help the scale hold steady:
- Eat three meals and a few snacks a day. A balance of "healthy food and nutrition choices, along with physical activity" is the best way to keep your blood sugar steady and help you control your weight, says Dr. Adler. Skipping meals, on the other hand, slows your metabolism and stokes hunger, priming you for a binge later on.
- Don't make this mistake—thinking that insulin means you can eat whatever you want. Before taking insulin, you could eat more than your body required without gaining weight. That's because you were wasting rather than storing many nutrients. Now that you're on insulin, every calorie counts, so it's important to eat a healthy, moderate diet. Ask your doctor or diabetes educator for guidelines.
Concern: "I failed at controlling my diabetes"
It's common to feel guilty, anxious, distressed and even reluctant to take insulin, a phenomenon known as "psychological insulin resistance" (PIR). Yet the fact is, it's not your fault you need insulin. "You need to recognize what you can and can't control," says Dr. Adler. "You can control making healthy food choices, eating reasonable portions, exercising, losing weight, taking your medications, managing stress and visiting your doctor on a regular basis. You can't control the beta-cell failure [the ability of your body to supply the necessary insulin]." Chances are, even if you had followed your doctor's advice, you'd still need insulin—not because you failed, but because your pancreas failed you!
Concern: "Uh oh, taking insulin means I'm really sick"
No, it just means your pancreas isn't able to meet your body's demand for insulin. Luckily, injected insulin can make up the shortfall to help keep your blood sugar in check and head off the complications of diabetes, including blindness, nerve and kidney damage, heart disease and amputation.
Concern: "I'll have no freedom or flexibility"
While it may seem like life will start to revolve around monitoring your glucose once you begin taking insulin, the reality is that you have options. Dr. Adler notes that "long-acting insulins used for basal dosing are 'peakless'—they generally work for 24 hours and are taken once a day. The fast-acting insulins used for bolus dosing start within five to 15 minutes after injecting, which means that the shot is taken right before the meal." Another option? The pump, which lets you adjust your insulin levels according to your food intake and activity. No matter which method you choose, achieving more stable blood sugar will ease your stress and help you feel more in charge of your everyday routine.

In a startlingly grey matter-challenged marketing decision, Absolut vodka declares that "in an Absolut world" California, Texas and a whole bunch of other states belong to Mexico. (Including half of my home state of Oregon.) We are not amused.
Smooth move, Absolut
Don't worry, I'm not about to start getting political in this blog. Politics just brings out the worst in people. (You don't need me to tell you that, just watch the election coverage on any news network.)
The thing about this ad that should get someone fired in the Absolut marketing department is that they put their brand in a very sensitive area of conflict between two nations full of proud people. An ad like this makes as much sense as sticking your nose into a friend's family argument. No matter who you side with, no matter how much sense you may or may not make, you will wind up the villian.
Or maybe it's someone in Absolut management that should be fired. They approved this ad. Maybe they though that since this ad was only appearing in Mexico, it couldn't possibly cause offense here in the U.S. Clearly they forgot we are in a 24 hour, instant messaging world. If Britney Spears sneezes in Hollywood, fans in Bangalore, India know about it before she finishes wiping her nose.
Of course, Absolut will learn nothing from this gaff if customers don't hold them accountable for it. I plan to reward Absolut by making martinis with competing vodkas going forward. (That isn't a hollow threat, Absolut was my vodka of choice.) I know what you're thinking, even bad publicity is good advertising. Losing my business is small potatoes compared to the business this will bring in. Well, that may be true, but is this post still good advertising for them if I…
…Give you a list of good Vodka alternatives? (Yeah, I know, I'm evil. To the core.) According to The Independent, the following are the ten best Vodkas out there:
- Level
- Skyy
- Snow Queen
- U'luvka
- Belvedere
- 42 Below
- Grey Goose
- Ciroc
- Danzka
- Reyka
Notice one name that doesn't appear in that list? (Check out the original article, I didn't edit the list!) This is a fantastic opportunity to discover a new vodka, and take your drinks to a new level. (Pun accidental, but I'll take it.) Just look at that, a rant that turned semi-educational.
Gentlemen (and ladies) you may resume your martini-tipping. (Kudos to Cigar Jack for drawing my attention to the original Absolut article.)
UPDATE 1: Absolut has since offered an apology-that-isn't-an-apology for the the ad. What are they they're sorry for? That people were dumb enough to be offended, not that the ad was run in the first place. Swing and a miss, Absolut.
UPDATE 2: Skyy vodka puts out a comical press release in support of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and condemning Absolut for their ad. Home run Skyy! While Absolut should probably fire both their PR and marketing departments, Skyy vodka should give their departments a raise!

Endri Fuga was another of MJAFT's four founders and its spokesman. He, Erion and Arbjan became friends at high school. He left Albania in 1998 and went to Rome where he studied at La Sapienza University. During the Kosovo refugee crisis in 1999 Endri volunteered for the Albanian Red Cross and the Albanian Youth Council:
"At that time I was directing the operations for the opening of the biggest hosting camp in Tirana. I remember the day when thousands of Albanians were coming from Kukes and we first hosted them in the Sports Arena and then we took them to the tents in the camp. I remember the faces of the people who were scared but thankful, had lost everything, but could now feel safe. And then, I remember the day when they left the camp to head back to Kosovo."
From La Sapienza, Endri transferred to Webster University's campus in Vienna, following his father's appointment as a key expert on nuclear weapons at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. Like Erion, he was in Albania for the Christmas holidays in 2002. He agreed to prolong his stay in Albania. As MJAFT grew from a campaign to a formal organisation, Endri became its Director of Communications.
"My favourite campaign was "Education, a priority". It has been one of our most effective and persistent campaigns. It has been our topic, our theme. For five years in a row we have managed to put through a campaign on the importance of education. We have been lobbying in parliament to increase the budget of education, we have campaigned for students' and teachers' rights, we have held rallies to promote excellence in teaching. And I think if there is something we should be proud of, it should be this campaign whose outcome has been more schools, better textbooks, improved standards. But there is still a lot more to be done."
In 2007 Endri Fuga, Erion Veliaj, Marinela Lika and Arbjan Mazniku stepped down from their positions. As Endri recalls today.
"Mjaft! served as a great political school for all of us. And our departure was intended to give a bold message to the Albanian politicians, to those that have been in power for more than 17 years and that have done little or nothing to improve the life of Albanians. That only perpetual change can guarantee perpetual success."

Protecting Your Applications from Backdoors: How to Secure Your Business Critical Applications from Time Bombs, Backdoors & Data
With the increasing practice of outsourcing and using 3rd party libraries, it is nearly impossible for an enterprise to identify the pedigree and security of the software running its business critical applications. As a result backdoors and malicious code are increasingly becoming the prevalent attack vector used by hackers. Whether you manage internal development activities, work with third party developers or are developing a COTS application for enterprise, your mandate is clear- safeguard your code and make applications security a priority for internal and external development teams. In this session we will cover;
- Prevalence of backdoors and malicious code in third party attacks
- Definitions and classifications of backdoors and their impact on your applications
- Methods to identify, track and remediate these vulnerabilities
Erik Peterson from Veracode will be presenting.
Open Software Assurance Maturity Model (OpenSAMM)
The Open Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) (http://www.opensamm.org/) is a flexible and prescriptive framework for building security into a software development organization. Covering more than typical SDLC-based models for security, SAMM enables organizations to self-assess their security assurance program and then use recommended roadmaps to improve in a way that's aligned to the specific risks facing the organization. Beyond that, SAMM enables creation of scorecards for an organization's effectiveness at secure software development throughout the typical governance, development, and deployment business functions. Scorecards also enable management within an organization to demonstrate quantitative improvements through iterations of building a security assurance program. This workshop will introduce the SAMM framework and walk through useful activities such as assessing an assurance program, mapping an existing organization to a recommended roadmap, and iteratively building an assurance program. Time allowing, additional case studies will also be discussed. OpenSAMM is an open a free project and has recently been donated to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation. For more information on OpenSAMM, visit http://www.opensamm.org/.

[1]Webapps In Name Only Thomas Ptacek, Matasano Security
Where modern network architecture meets legacy application design, we get "The Port 80 Problem": vendors wrapping every conceivable network protocol in a series of POSTs and calling them "safe". These "Webapps In Name Only" are a nightmare for application security specialists.
In this talk, we'll discuss, with case studies, how tools from protocol reverse engineering can be brought to bear on web application security, covering the following areas:
- Locating and Decompiling Java and .NET Code - Structure and Interpretation of Binary Protocols in HTTP - Protocol Debugging Tools - Web App Crypto Tricks
[2]Token-less strong authentication for web applications: A Security Review Cory Scott, ABN AMRO
A short presentation on the threat models and attack vectors for token-less schemes used to reduce the risk of password-only authentication, but yet do not implement "true" two-factor technologies for logistical costs or user acceptance reasons. We'll go over how device fingerprinting and IP geo-location work and discuss the pros and cons of the solutions.

If you've ever worked retail, you understand.
44 thoughts on "Chapter 5: Lit, page 103."
Valentine? His name is Valentine? Fits perfectly.
It is originally a boy's name!
I have to wonder how dense a person has to be to mistake a magazine for a copybook. Aren't copybooks by definition made with a photocopier? How many people can afford a Xerox machine that does full color and gloss? Says a lot about the King Street mentality…
I totally wish copybooks were a for-real scene. I might feel like I'm doing something with my silly doodling and bad writing =p
The only way to begin a scene is to begin forcing it on other people. Now start saturating the streets with some subway litter so you can inspire and hopefully later on never tell anyone it was because of Spike.
Copybooks are called "zines" in our timeline. They are pretty neat.
There aren't any zine stores here. There's barely a comic store that, for its credit, has a copybook! But a comic copybook.
And of course on the net a copy book/zine would be a blog
They do exist, they're called zines. Harder to find then our friendly neighbourhood copybook store in lucky lil' Templar, but they do exist. And yes, you shoyuld make one! They're fun and easy.
I suppose the problem is there isn't a punk scene here, or that I'm not in college anymore. I found a couple in my day, but I have no idea where to look now.
Hypatia. You craft these girls specifically to be every fanboy's wet dream, don't you, Spike?
Valentine's gender is pretty ambiguous at this point.
I'm just telling you now, incase… you know.
I have no idea what a pullbox is. Hopefully enlightenment will come with updates or comments from superior internet experience. And now onto a real comment, ah the incredible power of partial anonymity. It is wondrous to feel free to be awful when there are almost no real life consequences for your actions, the fact that it is taking vengeance against the idiots you had to deal with in a clerical position and you have something truly delicious.
I imagine that the shop "pulls" particular titles and sets them aside for repeat customers–the customer is assured that the book is not sold out by the time they come to buy it. I think it's pretty common at comic shops.
You know, maybe more customer services should let non-employees take the really stupid calls, since insulting the customer-wannabe wouldn't cost them anything? I'd volunteer for such a "job" immediately. :-P
Much as I'd love to do that some days, the actual person somebody talks to doesn't generally affect how pissed off a customer is at "the company" – if you're going to lose business or gain an enemy, doesn't matter who's on the line.
That said, as someone with 10 years' CS experience I can definitely say most people answering the phone are way too timid. Customer entitlement can be pretty easily sidestepped by engaging someone like a real person. Even more satisfying than passing the phone to someone who says what you'd like to is surprising a customer in mid-rant by saying it yourself – and having a supervisor congratulate you afterward for "defusing an escalated situation."
Patti is my hero.
Oh, man, she is just my favorite person ever. I wish I could have ranted like that at idiot customers back in my retail jobs… <3
Don't we all…I'd just like to be able to do it without putting my job in jeopardy.
"The customer was being a hateful moron!"
"Yes, but unfortunately, we can't deny them services just because we don't like them."
"……..I don't understand what it is you're trying to tell me, here."
Victory Motors. I don't know if they're related, but thanks for the Chicago flashback, Spike. "That old car is worth money!"
I understand :)
Hypatia is my hero <3
I'll second the first sentiment, and third the second.
Oh, Hypatia, you just fulfilled every dream I ever had about dealing with dumbass customers. *starry-eyed*
This is unrelated to the story, but hooray for a character with a highly visibly birth mark–I have a big cafe au lait spot on my neck and shoulder and smaller ones over my body; I love them and it's cool to see a fictional character with one.
Ah, I have one on my neck and several along my chest and shoulders. Kinda makes me look like a giraffe. :3
Maybe you are. Have you ever considered that you might be giraffe royalty under an evil spell?
Huh. I've always wondered why I had hooves instead of feet!
Speaking of which, I dunno if it's been covered before, and maybe my research is off, but it looks like her 'wine-stain' like birthmark is intruding on her eye somehow…like into the sclera…does that happen with natural birthmarks, or is this some Templar-specific trait?
I think that's just a shadow, not the birthmark. (Although some birthmarks in real life do WEIRD things.)
I wonder if that birthmark is red or brown
oh my god, she is totes my new favorite.
Wow, by Hypatia's standards Factsheet 5 was straight up corporate bullshit and Tim Yohannon's commitment to DIY was worthless and weak. That is the most hipster I have ever seen anyone be in a comic before. Brava, Spike.
RIP Tim Yo
Tim Yo was such a spectacular asshole that it overshadowed his "commitment" to DIY, whatever that would even mean. And he was more than happy to use corprorate distribution for his own ends; demanding DIY purity for just something he could bonk other people over the head with.
Sorry, but if it had corporate sponsors and ads and a tv show as TDR has. it -was- corporate. Not gonna say bullshit, but definitely not a "real" 'zine/copybook.
Whoops. Opened my mouth before my eyes again. Yum, crow for breakfast! In other words, disregard the above post, please. ;p
I never knew him personally, so my perception was based a lot around Book Your Own Fucking Life being a major thing for me in my teen years.
Probably this has been brought up before, but, I always thought copybooks were supposed to be closer to Commonplace books rather than Zines.
I pictured them as a somewhat less necessarily subversive samizdat.
Definitely less necessarily subversive, if only because it seems like it would be really, really, REALLY hard to be truly subversive in Templar for some reason… xD;;
I seriously love this comic for many-many-many reasons, but this is the core…y'all make me -think- about things! Just looked up Commonplace books, which makes 4 wiki searches before breakfast. My brain hurts…but it's a good hurt. ;p
As for the relation between them and copybooks, I'm not sure. It seems to me that Commonplace books were more of a one-time thing, not a serial as most Copybooks seem to be. :)
I have always dreamed of sassing a customer like that. Always.
LOVES IT. Makes me miss certain former jobs where phones were routinely handed to the *off-clock* coworker with expectations of exactly the above.
But why only dream of this? Just keep a sharp ear and a sharper tongue ready for idiot drama-queen PITA customers where you Don't work but Do patronize: It shouldn't be such a surprise how quickly one can become an establishment's Guest Of Honor simply by saying what the staff dare not but desperately want to.
Dunno much about 'zines but some of the best original short fiction I've encountered in my life had been stapled into 3″ square booklets and literally scattered on the streets by some group calling themselves the "Seattle Writers Guild". Wish I still had those…
Guys if you want copybooks or zines or whatever make em! I can (and do) get a3 b&w copies for 6p a side in my city (.. about 4 cents?)..
don't dream it, be it!
I just noticed that Valentine is wearing a jersey for the Knights, who I presume are a local team. Templar Knights. Well played, Spike.

UPDATED ON: May 8th, 2015
It's summer. It's hot. It's humid. Perhaps the farthest thing from your mind is the thought of sitting on stand – a chilly, November breeze stinging your face – bow in hand– watching the sun rise over your favorite creek bottom.
But guess what? If you want a thick-antlered whitetail to come cruising by within bow range this fall, you'd be wise to start thinking ahead to that November morning. Start by getting out in that creek bottom now and hang your stands in order to boost your odds for success later.
Intruder Alert
You'd notice if someone came into your living room and planted a new chair in the middle of it, right? Deer are no different, except their living room is the very woods in which you bowhunt. Whether you hang a stand now or in the middle of November, the resident deer are going to take notice, although the main thing they're going to focus on is the scent associated with your stand. The question is how will they react to this new piece of furniture in their home?
Young deer are likely to walk right up to it, take a sniff and continue about their business. But a mature buck that has survived a few hunting seasons is sure to be a bit more disturbed. He might leave the area altogether and not return, or it might just make him extremely alert to the fact he is being hunted. Neither is a reaction you want to provoke if your hopes are to eventually put your tag on him.
Hang your stands now, however, and all the resident deer will have months to get used to the disturbance. They can be totally freaked out by your stands now….it doesn't matter because you're not hunting them yet. And, they're not likely to get as spooked now because deer tend to be more tolerant of human intrusions during the lazy days of summer.
If you've ever had an experience with spooky deer during the season that left you thinking, "Man, it's like they know they're being hunted now" then you know what I'm talking about. Well during summer, deer often act as though they know they're not being hunted. Take advantage of that calmness. Get your stands up now. Just remember, if you put stands out in the elements for a long period before you actually hunt from them, be sure to check them for damage when you return for the hunt. Squirrels can chew on straps, rust can weaken support cables, and the sun can rot nylon material.
Trimming shooting lanes now while cover is thick, can encourage deer to start using those clearings now and well into hunting season.
The Past is Your Guide
Most of us hunt the same properties year in and year out. Absent some drastic change in the landscape where you hunt, like a timber cut or development of some sort, the resident deer by and large are going to move through the property the same way from year to year. They have their favorite trails. They'll bed in the same thickets, and bucks will make scrapes under the same trees.
That's not to say they absolutely won't adopt a new travel pattern, but if you've watched bucks cruise the same creek bottom year after year, once they start looking for hot does the odds will be good they'll do it again. That's should make that spot a likely candidate for a couple of stands to be hung. Maybe you hang one there every year anyway, but you've typically waited until the season opens to put it up.
Hanging stands now doesn't mean you're locked into hunting only from those trees. You can always take them down during the season if it turns out the deer aren't using a given area as usual. Or, you can hunt somewhere else using a climbing stand. Personally, I've hung stands in summer and then never hunted from them once during the season.
Yes, hanging stands during summer can sometimes be a gamble. You're betting the deer will show up in those places when you've got a bow in your hand. But if they don't, or you find an area with more action, by all means move. However, if a buck does show up on that frosty November morning, exactly where you expected and ultimately hung a stand for—-then you've got him right where you want him.
Using a pulley to hoist your stand up the tree is a real back saver.
Multiple Opportunities
Hang your stands now based on what you've seen deer do in the past during bow season. Try to face them in the direction that you believe will give you the best shooting opportunity. Go a step further and hang more than one in a given area so you can hunt no matter what direction the wind is blowing.

Here's a photo I took two years ago:
Have a close look for a moment, click on it to get a bigger version if you like. Do you see something strange?
No? How about in this one, zooming a little closer in on what originally caught my eye:
Give up? Well, here it is center-stage in all its majesty:
A three-leaved nettle! Usually the leaves go up in alternate pairs on opposite sides of the square stalk, and looking at them from above gives the impression of four-sidedness, as you can see from the other specimens pictured above. However, this one particular nettle (and another sibling I later found not too far away) had leaves going up in groups of three, but also alternating so that leaves from the higher stage fit 'in between' those beneath, thus maximising the sunlight exposure for the whole plant.
Pretty cool, no? And I never would have noticed if I hadn't been foraging from the patch to use the nettles in teas and cooked up in various stews and dishes. It really illustrates what Becky Lerner has called the 'super power' of the forager's eye, when you begin to look really closely at your surroundings and start noticing all manner of things that remain invisible to most people. Little clues that lead to long stories – histories really – of what has happened in that particular place and how it connects to hundreds, maybe thousands of factors which make it totally unique and inform its interconnected relationship to all adjoining spaces, as well as the beings that pass through them (including you!) This particular history could almost have been evolutionary. Was I witnessing the chance mutation that could lead to a whole new subspecies of nettle, or even fundamentally alter the basic structure of the existing species, if it proved more adaptable in the long term? Call me a plant geek, but I think that's pretty amazing.
So, with that preamble out the way, here's something I wrote the following year for inclusion in a book that's just been published called Playing For Time. I wanted to put the original piece up here because there's a lot that got trimmed off for the final edit (although more went in than I expected, after the editor Charlotte Du Cann told me she and author Lucy Neal just wanted to use my burdock photo and some text as an 'extended caption' – so I'm not complaining!) and the overall tone came across as breathless and 'inspirational' rather than my usual measured, realism-infused style. Reading back over it, I see there were quite a few important points there which I want to start making more often about the social context in which activities like foraging and herbalism take place, and how these might eventually coalesce into a political movement of some kind to challenge the absurd and highly damaging ways of accessing food and medicine which have been forced upon us by the status quo and the state-corporate and proprietary powers that benefit from its ruinous continuation. Anyway, here it is (with permission):
It's been around eight years now since I started to take an active interest in wild plants and foraging. Nearly two years out of uni, living back in the old home with my parents, having quit my job in retail just after Christmas, I needed something to get me outside – out of the house and out of my overactive head. Foraging was an obvious choice because a) it wouldn't cost any money, b) it fit with my greeny/lefty politics of sustainability and DIY self-sufficiency (which I had spent about as much time and effort developing over the course of three years as I had done studying for my degree), c) after too much time in cities it sent me back into comparatively wild places – an appreciation of which my parents had successfully nurtured during my childhood, and d) – something they definitely never encouraged – it allowed me to at least pretend that I could say 'fuck you' to the working world, be economically invisible, have no need to rely on capitalist modes of production, basically do a Tolstoy and choose simple menial work instead of having my intellect harnessed to the project of destroying the world. I never pushed towards these goals with 100 per cent dedication but early successes, especially with potential staples like Burdock root, acorns and hazelnuts, gave me a feeling of security with the knowledge that I could go a long way in that direction if I, personally, chose to.
Other experiences with the medicinal side of things gave me a further sense of power and control over my own life: if something went wrong I didn't necessarily have to go straight to a medical professional to be supplied with synthetic drugs or put through complex, machine-based treatments. Instead, I could look up my symptoms, read or ask trusted people which herbs were considered suitable in treating them (or in holistic terms, suitable for supporting the body's own attempt to heal itself), go out to harvest them and see if I could successfully treat myself. My surefire remedies so far include Bramble root tincture for diarrhea, Elderflower and Yarrow tea for colds and 'flu, and St. John's Wort oil for all kinds of muscular aches and pains. Again, I'm not saying that I would never go to my GP, even for something very serious, just that it was a nice feeling knowing that I had a different option available to me, and that it would grow in strength and capability if I continued to use it and learn from the experiences over time.
So far so good on the personal level, but lately I've had the persistent feeling that more is needed to release the true potential or promise of foraging as a social, even cultural activity. So far the mainstream awakening towards wild foods and medicines rather fits Dmitry Orlov's assertion that 'resilience and sustainability are often little more than middle-class hobbies' – people with the privilege of time and independent means (eg: a family who are willing to support you and provide a roof over your head while you 'find yourself') to dabble with these things and maybe come up with a few successful dishes using wild ingredients which will get made more than once. This is a world away from what foraging meant, and continues to mean, to the world's indigenous people and even our own recent peasant-farmer ancestors (wild herbs such as Nettle, Sorrel and Alexanders often went into the daily stew or 'potage' sustaining medieval agricultural labourers). They have a history of close association with these plants and a knowledge of how to use them passed down through the generations. Even their spiritual traditions pay homage to them, with songs being sung to encourage fruitfulness and to give thanks to the spirits for their generosity. An example of this surviving in Britain is the 'wassail' tradition in which apple trees are implored to bear a good harvest:
Here's to thee, old apple tree,
That blooms well, bears well.
Hats full, caps full,
Three bushel bags full,
An' all under one tree.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Organised wild food walks share knowledge and create bonds between people in such a way as to foster the growth of this kind of culture, but somehow paying for access to this knowledge has always felt wrong to me (which is why I've only led a few myself on a free/donation basis), and there's the danger of playing to the crowd willing to pay the most, ie: wealthy hobbyists from the city looking for a stimulating day out. A less leader-oriented 'skillshare' type event would seem more promising for nurturing the revolutionaries we so desperately need to reshape our whole attitude and relationship to the other-than-human world. This would not exclude the people who could benefit most from supplementing their diets with nutritious wild edibles and health-giving medicinal plants, all available for the simple energy costs of gathering and processing and often not so very far from their own front doors.
These days foraging is less something I actively set out to do so much as something that happens almost incidentally as I go about my day-to-day business. It helps that I work outdoors as a gardener, where I often experience the pleasure of being paid to harvest my own food (aka 'weeding' or 'raking up debris'). But I have a little section of bridleway which go through twice a day on my commute. Usually I manage to allow five minutes or so to get off my bike and bag up a few things or even graze on them directly – Cleavers, Nettles (you can eat them raw with the right technique!), Cuckooflower, young Bramble shoots, Hawthorn and Rose leaves early in the season; haws, rosehips, blackberries, elderberries, acorns in the Autumn months… It's amazing how much you can get from so little time, and it makes for a nice settling ritual to start and finish the day. I see all the seasonal changes, watch all kinds of wildlife, and observe the plants through their yearly cycles of birth, death and rebirth. Last Spring I noticed a nettle with leaves going up the stalk in groups of three rather than the standard alternating pair. It totally made my day, and I made sure to seek it out regularly and check on its mutant progress for the rest of the year, speaking reassuring words to hopefully aid its brave experiment.
I do recommend the book, which I've been working through in brief sittings after receiving my copy at the launch up in London (thanks Lucy, a really pleasant evening). There's loads of beautiful things in there, both described and photographed with essays from activists and writers, explanations from artists and reports from community organisers, mostly under the Transition Town umbrella. Charlotte Du Cann wrote a nice piece about it here, and her blog is well worth checking out too, if you click around from that link.
And the nettle? Well, it didn't make an appearance last year, but just look who I found poking her head out the other day in near exactly the same spot:
You little beauty!

I have a specific project where I need to control a bank of cameras from a computer.
I don't know much about cameras beyond my iPhone autofocus so I will describe this as best I can, corrections welcome. I have searched around for cameras on google but don't know specific details or styles of camera to filter out the generalist camera.
The parameters I have to work in are:
- The subject distance will be 10cm to 1m.
- The cameras will be in a fixed position and will not move.
- The resolution needs to be high quality and as little blur / artifacts as possible.
- Each image size I expect to be around 50cm x 50cm (I don't know the specifics here)
- Storage size isn't an issue the computer will be post processing the images.
- The computer needs to have control over the camera (.NET API preferred)
- Trigger the "auto-focus" once the object is setup.
- Trigger the cameras to shoot.
- Capture the resulting image and transfer to local HDD.
- Connection technologies between PC and camera.
- Need to have a 2.5 meter cable length.
- WIFI is possible but needs to be reliable.
- Price per camera needs to be < USD$120
- Power through USB or similar preferred, battery or separate supply 2nd choice.
- Lighting source will be fixed and consistent from behind the cameras.
So given the list what sort of camera am I looking for? Is there a site that can help me filter it?
and bonus thankyou for any other things I should know about this but don't.

An all-you-can-eat seafood festival that often draws Maryland's leading political candidates wrapped up with a little less star power than usual.
The 38th Annual J. Millard Tawes Crab and Clam Bake was held Wednesday afternoon in Crisfield. This year was unusual because Maryland's primary was held before the event in June, rather than in September as in past elections.
Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who is running for governor, was scheduled to attend, but he did not make the trip. His campaign said Brown and running mate Ken Ulman attended a funeral in Baltimore County.

Quote:Also, i know it's generally accepted that forward=offense and backwards-defense, but I often wonder how this plays out on anyhting but a basic level. Really we should rarely be doing anything that's "defensive" in the sense of walking backwards while performing purely defensive movements it seems to me, so I often wonder about this rule.

Gooey, Delicious, Incredible S'mores Bars
Whenever I look at other people's food blogs, esophagitis I wonder how they stay healthy. It seems like most food bloggers that I follow are pretty much all pretty thin and healthy looking, which makes me wonder if they work out and how many of their desserts they eat. I've always struggled with my weight and self-esteem, and I love baking and creating food because it makes me see food as something fun and a form of art and self expression, instead of something that will make me fat. I think that one of the things young girls (and really women of all ages) struggle with most is their weight and feeling beautiful, and that's why I decided to start workshops, called Beautiful, for middle school girls.
Beautiful strives to instill in girls that they are gorgeous and special because they are God's creation. We had a workshop this past Saturday and it was so fun. We talked about the messages the media sends girls and how we as women get our ideas of what beauty is from the media, our friends, family, etc, but how we don't get our idea of beauty from God. I think that when we are able to be confident that we are cared for and special in God's eyes, other things start to become less important. After we talked about this, I gave each of the girls a deck of cards and we spent the rest of the time writing positive things about each other and about ourselves on the cards. It was fun for everyone (including me) and I'm excited to start putting my cards in places that I'll see them daily :)
Those are some of the cards I made :)
I made this dessert for the girls and they all loved them and each ate several pieces. While I think it is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it made me happy to see them eat them without worrying about weight-gain. We talked about a quote I read on Pinterest that said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and how that's just a terrible statement. I understand that it's trying to say that eating a dessert or whatever isn't worth the calories and isn't as satisfying as being skinny, but I think it communicates that food and eating isn't as important as being thin. As someone who has struggled with anorexia, I know that being skinny is not as important as food and that depriving yourself of food is not healthy. Why spend your life counting every calorie and agonizing about food? Food is fuel. It is not the enemy. And you know what? The girls and I decided that these bars taste a whole lot better than skinny :)
I honestly think these S'mores Bars are one of the tastiest things I have ever made (and that's saying something!) The bottom layer is a fudgy brownie layer then there's a layer of graham cracker, chocolate chips, marshmallows, buttery cookie layer, and sweetened condensed milk. Mmm!!! <– You know it's good when I use three exclamation points. It's sweet, gooey, and all-around delicious.
This is a really simple recipe to make, too. First you mix your brownie mix (or make from scratch brownies if that's how you roll) and pour it in a 9 by 13in pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil (aluminum foil is probably easier). Cover it with a layer of graham crackers. Dump a ton of chocolate chips and lots of mini marshmallows on the graham crackers. Next, mix up your yellow cake dough and gently press it on top. Drizzle on about a cup of sweetened condensed milk and bake! It's really easy and sooo tasty. Really, make these soon. They'd be a great Valentine's Day dessert or every day dessert- because really, who needs and excuse to tell someone you love them?
S'mores Bars
1 family size box mix of brownies and the ingredients to make the brownies (probably canola oil, water, and 2 eggs)
9-ish honey graham crackers
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more!)
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 by 13in pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil that has been generously coated with cooking spray. Make sure your lining goes all the way around the pan.
- Mix up your brownie mix according to the box directions and pour it into the pan.
- Cover the brownies with the graham crackers. You want to fit as many of the graham crackers on there as you can.
- Pour the chocolate chips onto the graham crackers and then add the mini marshmallows.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the box of yellow cake mix, egg, and stick of softened butter. Use your hand to mix the dough all together.
- Top the marshmallows with the dough. I found the best way to do this is to take some in your hand, press it so it's flat, and place it on top of the marshmallows. Repeat this until all the marshmallows are covered (it does not have to be perfect) and then drizzle on the cup of sweetened condensed milk.
- Bake it in the oven for 18-22 minutes. It's hard to know when it's done, but the top layer should be a nice golden brown. I took mine out after 18 minutes and it turned out wonderful- the brownie layer was really fudgy.
- It takes a long time for this to cool enough to cut. I was really impatient and tried to lift this out of the pan too early…it was a bit of a messy disaster. But if you wait for it to cool completely, you can cut nice, even squares (you can see the difference in the ones I cut right away and the ones I cut the next day).
This recipe was inspired by this and this recipe from Picky Palate <–she's awesome!
Ok…I know I said in this post that I wouldn't keep posting pictures of my puppy…but I can't help myself! I think he's just too cute :) And in desperate need of a haircut…I promise he does have eyes under there.

In earlier days the Weippe area was frequented by the Nez Perce Indians, who enjoyed the summer climate and profitable hunting grounds. They erected lodges, fished, hunted and dug the camas root in the surrounding area. In 1805, Lewis and Clark had their first encounter with the Nez Perce Indians on the Weippe Prairie, not far from the present townsite.
The word Weippe was originally spelled Oy-ipe by General Oliver Otis Howard, in his journals during the campaign against the Nez Perce and negotiations with Chief Joseph in 1877. Other spellings included Oy-iap and Wyap-p. Harry Wheeler, Nez Perce historian, believed that Weippe means a "very old place," "oy" means "all" in the Nez Perce language, but no meaning has been found for "iap". The Nez Perce also say it may have something to do with a spring of water or camas ground. The meaning of the name is still greatly debated.
Soon after the Corps of Discoverys expedition through the region, the fur trading industry came to Idaho. Then gold was discovered in 1860 by E.D. Pierce bringing a rush to the area in 1861. The Homestead Act brought many families to the region and Weippe grew and thrived.
Weippe was incorporated in December of 1964 and is located on the Gold Rush Historic Byway, Idaho Highway 11. The Weippe Prairie is one of eight registered national landmarks in the State of Idaho and is part of the National Lewis & Clark Historic Trail. It is a level meadow fringed by forest, and through it runs Jim Fords Creek, named after a pioneer wood dealer from Lewiston.
Come visit our Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center at the Weippe Discovery Center. Our newly constructed Deyo Reservoir and camground is awaiting with both primitive and water/sewer hookups. See Tourism link for more info.
