Mid-week links: Marin Transit
September 19, 2013 Leave a comment
The latest Marin Transit board meeting was one full of change and surprise. Amid increasing ridership (though it fell in June), MT posted a $1.5 million surplus, which will go into a rainy day fund. To keep ridership on the up and up, the agency hired a new communications and advertising consultant, who will manage MT's branding, website, social media, and communications strategy. IJ reporter Nels Johnson, however, seemed to think the $300,000 consultant was taking the agency "for a spin." And, in the name of efficiency, the MT board cut Route 222, which got less than 3 riders per hour in June. Elsewhere:
- There was so much public comment about Marin's new housing element that the Board of Supervisors had to postpone its debate until next week. (Patch) On a side note, whoever's idea it was to bring in a saxophonist to lead the potentially rancorous crowd in singing, "There's still a lot of love in Marin!" is brilliant. (IJ)
- The Civic Center Drive upgrades look fabulous, but now that they aren't in a PDA TAM may need to rescind its funding. (Patch)
- A driver hit a bicyclist in Fairfax yesterday by turning left through a bike lane, sending the bicyclist to the hospital with a broken collar bone. Though the circumstances seem like they warranted an investigation or a failure-to-yield citation, the driver was not cited by police. (IJ)
- The costs of demand-responsive bus service, promoted by Bob Silvestri as the ideal transit, make it an ineffective replacement for traditional bus service. (Listen Marin)
- The lack of BART in Marin is apparently because we're classist and racist and always have been. (The Grid) Except, y'know, that's not at all why we don't have BART.
- TAM should take on all the causes of congestion on Highway 101, not just cars, according to Corte Madera Mayor Diane Furst. She sat on a working group to draft an alternative plan to flyovers on the freeway. (Marin Voice)
- The Golden Gate Bridge will close for a full weekend next year for the installation of a new movable barrier. This will be the first time in the bridge's history it will be closed for more than a few hours. (IJ)
- Parking minimums can severely constrain construction, either driving up rents in the building or preventing new construction altogether and contributing to a housing shortage. Affordable housing advocates take note. (Sightline)
- San Rafael council candidate Randy Warren hits rival Maribeth Bushey-Lang hard, saying her need to recuse herself over issues like SMART make her unfit for service. (IJ)
- The move to recall Supervisor Susan Adams failed to attract enough signatures, and Save Marinwood is not happy. Interestingly, no signatures were submitted to the county, so we'll never know how far short the recall came. (IJ, Save Marinwood)
- Paul Mamalakis examines the race for Novato City Council. (Advance)

Funds to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students Get Prepared for university
16 August 2013
Personalised homework and study assistance and careers information will support young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people interested in attending university, as part of the University of Sydney's Get Prepared program, which has recently received $1.35 million from the federal government.
"Get Prepared is all about early, effective and sustained engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, their families and communities, to increase their successful transition to university," said Annette Cairnduff, Director of Social Inclusion at the University.
"It is a multi-layered approach aimed at the academic and personal preparation of young people for higher education and at the hub of the program is a Student Learning Network."
The funding will allow the University of Sydney to expand the scope of its engagement programs with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and then build on those relationships via the Student Learning Network.
"The network, which includes face-to-face and online tutoring will also be a first point of call for information on study options. It is a way young people can continue to engage with University staff and students they meet in their communities or when they are here on campus," said Ms Cairnduff.
It will be a particularly useful resource for the young people who will be participating in the Wingara Mura Bunga Barrabugu Summer Programs which open for applications next week.
"Get Prepared is another of the exciting and innovative ways that the University is living up to the commitments we made in our Professor Shane Houston, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services).
"One of the key contributions we can make is to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to be ready and able to take up the opportunity for further study - and to successfully complete their studies.
"It also provides us with the opportunity to strengthen and deepen our partnership with Souths Cares and communities in Dubbo, Broken Hill and Taree."
The funding will support South Cares to provide personal support to many of the students taking part in Get Prepared.
This week, in an example of the type of activities it runs with the University of Sydney, high school students supported by Souths Cares worked with current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander postgraduate students to create a film of public health messages they can present to their schools and communities. An underlying aim of the project is to inspire some of those students to enter university themselves.
Souths football player Beau Champion, who has just begun studying a graduate certificate in commerce at the University, spoke to the students about his university experience and the life experiences that had brought him there.

Jim Sanders and I got the amazing opportunity to help create a synchromystic video about John C. Reilly that he himself would likely see.
Andras Jones has a show called Radio8Ball in Seattle, every other Sunday night, where audience members watching in a theater and celebrities Skype in and ask questions.
The questions are answered by spinning a wheel thus picking a random number associated to a song and then interpreting that song as the answer to said question.
The song itself is played by a musician present on stage at the time. I musical oracle using the meta-mind of synchronicity to answer questions, just like a Tarot card divination.
We see the planetary association of Jupiter on the right of the word Fortune at the bottom of Crowley's Thoth Deck Card. "MagicK with a K?"
The Tarot Card for the Wheel of Fortune is associated to the planet Jupiter. Thus when ever we 'spin the wheel' we are involved in a Jovian process. Jupiter rules luck a.k.a sync.
The Magician is Crowned by the 8 or infinity helping us realize that men who foretell naturally resonate with this shape.
The video starts with JC in Talladega Nights as Cal Naughton Jr. Calling Will Ferrel as Ricky Bobby. He says "Turn on Channel 42".
Not until after the video was done did I notice the Jukebox in the background with Red Capstone at the top of the glowing arch.
I remarked to Jim that it even looks like a rainbow. Some quick research at Wiki reveals:
Many consider the 1940s to be the "golden age" of jukebox styling with the gothic-like curvaceous "electric rainbow cathedral" look. Wiki Jukebox
The Red Keystone of the Royal Arch or Rainbow is the Portal into Heaven and associated to Cancer. Cancer's symbol resembles 69 or GG. The coffin is directly beneath the Keystone in the above Masonic Tracing Board.
The Monday (yesterday) after Radio8Ball featured John C. Reilly and Hey Zeus! a news story about a Blue Stork dropped.
A mysterious Blue Stork, a color of plumage not seen on storks, making a spectacle in a German village.
This synced back with Hey Zeus! as it highlighted the Judy Garland song Over The Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz featuring the line "Somewhere over the Rainbow, blue birds fly".
The song comes out of this old time gramophone record player with Horn styled into a black octagon. The Old Time music feel here resonates the Jukebox and the octagon shape the overt 8 associations already made.
9 on the left voiced by Elijah Woods, 5 (with one eye) by John C. Reilly and 6 as Crispin Glover on the right. Behind them is the Gramophone that plays over the Rainbow. Interestingly Glover is also in What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Reilly as a Mortician, this is also highlighted in Hey Zeus!
Garland sings "happy little blue birds fly" (if you listen carefully) at 8:33 in Hey Zeus! as the voice over mentions the Thunder Bolts dancing around the Jovian Red Eye chasing John C. Reilly.
This is a very good sign that the Blue Bird of Joy has arrived and that Hey Zeus! is entraining with the new state of consciousness waking up inside of WE/ME.
Two weeks ago at Will Ferrel's website Funny Or Die me and Jim were watching a clip from Talladega Nights, cut from the movie..
It sees JCR and Ferrel sing a song about being proud Americans with Chris Isaac. Cal Naughton Jr (JC) arrives backed by stars and pionting with his Jupiter Finger at two Blue Stage lights.
Behind him up in Neon lights we read BlueBird Cafe.
Updated 28 April:
In Never Been Kissed Drew Barrymore or DB/42 goes to her prom, themed "Meant for Each Other" (famous couples) and overseen by the Swan.
Zeus is a Swan in Greek Mythology, 'making it' with Leda.Last week I sat starring stupefied at the spectacle of Nick Nolte carrying a painting of Leda and the Swan past Robin Tunney in Investigating Sex.
Tunney plays ZOE and the painting of Zeus continues on towards a black octagonal sculpture.
The sculpture has legs protruding and looks like a couple having sex submerged inside the black void. Clearly they are moving in or out of an octagonal StarG8.
Back in Never Been Kissed this Ice pair of Swans have a blueish-pinkish glow and are backed by "Meant for Each Other" Hunter S. Thompson and Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas. Thompson means two Suns and that is exactly what the pair of Swans are telling us. Just like in 2010:The Year We Make Contact we are becoming aware of our second son.
The Second Sun aka the Blue Sun/Swan is your own Consciousness, awareness of the Cosmic Community and God.
The office where Drew Barrymore DB/42 works with John C. Reilly as Gus (Augustus) is The Chicago Sun Times. The Font for Sun is Blue Giving us the Blue Sun or Second Sun/Thompson.
Here DB and JC pass Jupiter the planet of contact in 2010: The Year We Make Contact while inside the Blue Sun.
As noted in Hey Zeus! Drew Barrymore makes First Contact in E.T making our syncs become very tight.
Reilly reads a Blue Chicago Sun newspaper in Never Been Kissed.
Drew is a powerful Moon resonator as noted in Scarlet Dragon 3 while JCR as Hey Zeus! is Jupiter. Moon and Jupiter are the two Major Steps to the Infinite in 2001: A Space Odyssey and reality. We then note that we have Drew Barrymore/Moon and John C. Reilly/Jupiter together in the offices of the Blue Sun. The merging of Jupiter and Moon to awaken the Blue Sun of eartH's collective Heart.
The PlanET eartH/Heart (anagrams thus resonators) is indeed also the Second Sun. WOW/MOM!
On the 27th of April or 4/27 me and Jim Sanders made our second consecutive trip to the Winnipeg Legislature in 2 days.
The Building is a intentional recreation of Solomon's Temple and one of the most advanced occult Talisman's on the planET.
See Frank Albo's website
We were celebrating the release of Hey Zeus! and paying respect at his Temple in the Pool of The Black Star.
On 26 April Jim, an Ayahuasquero, was standing in the Octagonal Black Star at the Center of the 27 feet wide marble pool singing Icaros or sacred songs used in ritual and taking pictures on his BlackBerry like the one above.
We see Blue Light entraining with the star moving from the Door into the Octagon.
At some point during the little impromptu ceremony woke us up to acknowledging the reflections in the pool.
The Dome crowned by Golden Boy on the exterior and hovering above the Pool on the interior.
I saw what looked like a Red C shape surrounding my head in the reflection in the rock coming from the giant mandalic dome above.
Posts like Unveiling The Aureola Via Robin Tunney, E.T. Ipsissimus of the A.:A.: and videos like All Saints play with and develop the idea that the subtle body is always visible when we take the immediate surroundings of a human as associated to the figure and not separate.
This is what happens to everyone that walks into the Black Star of Winnipeg.
Ones 'invisible' Aureola or Greater Self is made visible if you allow your perspective to include your reflection as part of your Self.
I have never seen this happen as visibly and vividly as in the heart of the Third Temple of Solomon in Winnipeg.
Blue Swan Event from Syncwinnipeg on Vimeo.We can actually hear the moment yesterday during our second visit when Jim realizes in awe that this is in fact the Blue Sun!
We called this The Blue Swan event.
I love how the arch of the discovery of the Blue Swan is the same as the story told in Hey Zeus! On 26 April WE/ME saw the Red C or Door, opened and walked through. On 27th WE saw the rise of the Blue Sun. A great fractal of the grand awakening WE/ME are all undergoing.
Peace In=Peace Out
Update 29 April:
Hey Zeus sees JCR appear with the Duck in film Hard Eight (pretty sure, this was Jim's doing..). He says 4, 38 then Jesus, connecting the 42 of Jupiter/Zeus with Jesus.
The Ugly Duckling becomes the beautiful Swan, which it in fact was all along, a perfect Zen tale if Realization.
Jesus is the Duck that becomes the Swan after the ordeal of the Cross (coming to terms with loss of ego/form/death) and eventual resurrection (realization of I Am).
To Duck, as an action, teaches us to kneel and prostrate with humility at the depth of mystery in Gnosis of Self.
Hard Eight's poster shows us the 42 code (The Answer to Life the Universe and Everything in existence and Hitchhikers Guide) in 8 as we see 2 dice showing 4 one of which has 2 of the holes bullitted.
Reilly wears a shirts that reads 84 Spring Break while digging a whole for Ferrel to be buried in. As a Christ, Reilly is hear to kill addiction to form, most potently for humanity, the concept that we are the limited individual self.
Death and Resurrection become then the drama of moving beyond the conceptual self and discovering the Self beyond form in the new dimension of consciousness. The new dimension is your very awareness, right here and now, vivified by the non-local weirdness of synchronicity.
We see a Tiger jumps from behind the 4 & over the 8 of Reilly's shirt, not clearly visible in the film. 4 times 2 is 8, thus 42 is 8...
Me acknowledge the 8 syncs We have seen throughout. The Tarot Card of Magician, 8 Ball, octagonal horn of gramophone and 8 pointed star in Winnipeg's Legislative Building.
The Tiger is the Chinese Zodiac animal of 2010: The Year We Make Contact and we see it again in Step Brothers as a poster with JCR in Shot. This is because the Cosmic Communion of Self Realization is well underway and heading for the Nova of the Second Sun/Swan as we speak. Your consciousness of this is This.
Later G8tors
More words and stills to follow, flux willing.
Peace In

VANCOUVER — There was no poker face from Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, who laid all his cards on the table in an interview Friday and confirmed what everyone really already knew.
His days in Vancouver are done.
"I would never say never, you never know, but we all know what is going on and what has developed," Luongo told CFOX radio. "At the end of the day I think it's time to move on and I'm okay with that. I had a great six years in Vancouver, I think it's a wonderful city, I really enjoyed my time there. "Unfortunately, I was not able to bring a Stanley Cup there which is probably my biggest regret, but it will be remembered for six good years."
Luongo was interviewed by CFOX's Jeff O'Neil morning show from Las Vegas, where he is competing, starting Saturday, in the World Series of Poker's main event tourney.
Luongo's $10,000 entry into the tournament is being covered by the B.C. Lottery Corp.'s Playnow.com website, which sponsors Luongo as well as O'Neil's morning show.
Luongo said he does not yet have an inkling of where he will end up, but acknowledged Florida is one of his preferred destinations. Luongo resides in south Florida during the off-season and met his wife there while playing with the Panthers.
"It's tough to say because (Vancouver GM) Mike Gillis is obviously in charge of the negotiations," he said. "Florida is definitely one of the spots I'd be willing to go to. To be honest with you, I haven't had much communication with Mike. He keeps me updated once in a while. I'm sure when something is close to happening, I'll have to make a decision, but for right now to be honest with you I haven't really made any decisions whatsoever."
Luongo has a clause in his contract whereby he must approve a trade destination. Much of the speculation has centred on Florida and Toronto, but Luongo was asked about a possible move to the Chicago Blackhawks.
"I'd rather not talk specifics right now," he said. "There's a lot of stuff going on."
Luongo then added with a laugh, "but I have always said I like playing in Chicago."
Later in the 20-minute interview, which included questions on peeing in the shower and circumcision, Luongo joked that he enjoys the Chelsea Dagger song that is played at the United Center when the Blackhawks score.
"I like that song," he said. "I heard it seven times in one game."
"There are a lot of cities that are great to play in and Chicago is definitely one of them," Luongo said. "But I think you've got to realize that it works both ways. There's not only me involved in this decision, there's also a question if the Blackhawks would be interested and if the team (Canucks) would be interested in trading me there and if I'd be willing to go there. It's more than just me that has to decide where I want to go."
Luongo said he was excited about playing in the WSOP's main event tournament, which begins at noon Saturday. Asked what would happen if he advanced to the final table of the tournament, which this year is played in late October in the midst of the NHL regular season, Luongo said: "I'll be playing poker in Vegas. That's a no-brainer."
He also played coy about a Twitter account, Strombone1, which is widely believed to be his own.
"I have heard a lot about this Strombone1 the last little while and I think he's really funny," Luongo said. "I don't particularly tweet that much."

Compounded Sterile Preparations By Park Pharmacy & Compounding Center: Recall - Lack of Sterility Assurance
Audience: Health Professional, Risk Manager

We had a really great fourth! The first pic was actually taken Sunday at church--the boys looked so cute in their red/blue/white shirts!
Yesterday, Shane was off work (that was so great!) and we headed over to Aunt Karen's in the morning and swam for quite awhile. Cameron absolutely has no fear at all of the water--he jumps off the edge and into the pool for Shane to catch him....then back up on the edge and in again. This continued yesterday until Daddy was pooped! It was so cute. Colin is a big fan of playing on the stairs of the pool (water getting in his mouth is not his favorite) so Shane invented a game called fill up Aunt Karen's watering can and pour it over Colin and Cameron's heads. Pretty fun game apparently, because the boys loved it! Ethan sat happily for quite awhile in his favorite toy right now, his excersaucer. I even got a chance to swim! We headed back home after about 2 hours and had some lunch, then EVERYONE napped. Swimming tires out little boys (and mommies!) pretty well! We got up, worked around the house for a bit, then went into Danville for some fireworks. We normally like to go to Champaign and watch the University of Illinois' show (it is amazing!) but since there was a threat of rain AND Ethan and Cameron are both still pretty little, we decided to stay in town. We treated the boys to ice cream and then headed to the American Legion. On the way, I was explaining to Colin about what the fourth of July stood for, and how it was "America's Birthday." Colin was quiet for a minute, thinking about what I had just told him, and all of a sudden we heard Cameron singing his rendition of "Happy Birthday to you!" It sounds much more like "Hap bbbbbffff choo choo", but the tune was right, and we sure knew what he was singing! It was sooooo cute.
The fireworks were just about perfect for the boys.....they were relatively intermittent, so they had time to follow each one, and there weren't too many really loud ones. Cameron really didn't know what to think at first (these were his first fireworks ever) but after a little lip-quivering, and saying, "loud, loud" a few times, he began to get in the spirit of things and really enjoy himself. Colin LOVED them, and even Ethan sat and watched--no kidding, he really followed them with his eyes and seemed to like it! No tears or anything! I was somewhat surprised at that, but certainly thankful. It was another wonderful family day--I am so thankful for my country and my family!

My husband is usually not especially excited about knitting, but lately since he's discovered the time-wasting beauty of Stumbling, I've been getting some entertaining links in my in box. The above is my favorite from Craftatastophe: because not all handmade is pretty. Follow the link to read Rat Annabelle's story. Irresistible. Many other delightful and ghastly crafts on this site.
OK one other....Amazing artist Yeondoo Jung brings kids drawings to life....a must see! Now stop stumbling!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
What do you do to capture the fully qualified name of a file from Windows Explorer? If you are using a newer version of Windows than XP, you can easily get the fully qualified file name without installing or reconfiguring anything. All you need to do as add the Shift key to the mix after selecting the file of interest.
Figure 1. Normal right-click menu option.
Figure 2. Shift plus right-click menu option. Notice the addition of Pin to Start Menu and Copy as path.
Here is what Copy as path put in my paste buffer:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf"
Considering that this particular path has embedded spaces, the double quotes surrounding the fully qualified file name are good to have. When there aren't any spaces in the path or file name, the double quotes may be annoying. But the annoyance of double quotes is nothing compared to not having this functionality at all. Even on my own machine at home, I prefer Copy as path over other methods because I don't want to install a send to clipboard program on my machine. The fewer programs that are installed, the better things are.
Nice tip, learned something new :)
Nice tip. I'll find that useful. Much better than typing in the address bar waiting for it to auto-complete the full file name.

About the Radcliffe Day Painting
Dancers (2010) was painted by Bevil Conway, who is an associate professor of neuroscience at Wellesley College, a lecturer on neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, and an artist. He was the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute in 2010–2011.
His research, published in more than two dozen articles and a book, examines the neural basis for visual behavior, with a focus on color. His art explores the limits of visualization, cultural metamorphosis, and concepts of beauty and the sublime.
This painting depicts performers in the Mark Morris Dance Group at their studio in Brooklyn, New York. Conway and Morris met through Harvard's Society of Fellows and became good friends. Conway was given extraordinary access to the dancers' rehearsals, which resulted in many watercolors and etchings, including the image for Radcliffe Day 2013.
For more information about Bevil Conway, his art, and his research, visit his website.

Raise your hands if you thought you'd see the day when former Indiana and Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight slid across a floor in socks and underwear to promote a video game?
Put your hands down, liars.
If it was weird to see Knight become a member of the profession that he regularly professed hatred for during his coaching career, seeing him become a pitchman for a product he's certainly never heard of or used is downright surreal.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
A couple of thoughts came to mind when that commercial rolled out during Elite Eight coverage this weekend. While it's understandable that Activision couldn't get the four coaches in the same place at the same time, shouldn't a video game company be able to edit things together a little better than that?
The pairing of Knight and Metallica is also interesting. Knight lost his job at Indiana because he refused to tone down his gruffness into a persona with fewer rough edges. Metallica lost a lot of fans when they did tone down their music so that it was more acceptable to the masses. That subtext probably didn't have anything to do with the marketing people who wanted to tie the new Metallica game to the NCAA Tournament in a commercial, but it's an interesting illustration of being damned if you do and damned if you don't.
And, finally, some enterprising game designer should really find a way to substitute Knight for Donkey Kong in a new iteration of that classic. If you're always gonna have the guy throwing something, why not a barrel?

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Sony Alpha
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Sony Alpha is a wide-angle to normal-length zoom lens that features a fast, bright constant f/1.8 maximum aperture. It is specifically designed for use with APS-C-sized sensors and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-52.5mm.
The lens integrates four aspherical elements into its construction as well as five Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements to help minimize various aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range as well as provide greater image sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to lens elements to reduce surface reflections, lens flare, and ghosting to produce images with higher contrast and color fidelity. The lens barrel design is constructed from a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material that is akin to metal in texture and resistance to temperature and environmental changes while also remaining lightweight and compact. An internal focusing and zooming mechanism also helps to maintain a compact and consistent overall length and non-rotating front ring also better enables the use of circular polarizing filters. For control of focus, a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is used to ensure fast, precise, and quiet focusing capabilities that are well suited to continuous shooting and movie recording.

When Penélope Cruz was 18, she was blow-drying her hair one day at her home in Madrid and the phone rang. Her first film, Jamón, Jamón, with its casual nudity and sexy plot, was a sensation in Spain, and Cruz was an emerging star.
That afternoon, she was listening to Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for The Mission, mostly because she loved the music the composer had written for Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, Pedro Almodóvar's instant classic. "I listened to The Mission every day, all day, for a month," Cruz told me with her usual mix of adult passion and childlike intensity. "That way, in my mind, Pedro was present in my house. My biggest goal was to work with Pedro."
Her then boyfriend answered the phone and told Cruz that Almodóvar was on the line. She thought it was a joke, some kind of prank, and came to the phone expecting to talk to an impostor. "But it was that voice!" Cruz exclaimed, as if the phone call had just happened. "That 'hello' changed everything."
Although Cruz was eventually wooed from Spain to Hollywood, where she would star in dozens of movies in which she all too often played the beautiful, exotic love interest, it was Almodóvar who saw beyond her looks. When he cast her in Volver in 2005, he made her the centerpiece of his film—a complex, sexy, real woman. It was personal: In many ways, Cruz was playing a character based on Almodóvar's own mother—Volver is the only film the director has shot in his hometown. Speaking in her native language, playing the richest, most varied part she has ever been offered, Cruz was captivating. After Volver, and after more than a decade in the movie business, she was discovered as a serious actress.
In 2007 Cruz was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress for Volver, and in 2009, she went on to win best supporting actress for Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She recently appeared in Allen's To Rome With Love as a businesslike prostitute, and later this fall, she will star in Venuto al Mondo (Twice Born), an Italian film set in the nineties amid the Bosnian war. Cruz speaks Italian in both movies, but she will return to Spanish in Almodóvar's next project, I'm So Excited, in which, for the first time, he has cast her alongside Antonio Banderas. As always with Almodóvar, the plot is a secret.
When I interviewed Cruz in 2006, she told me she was longing to work with Javier Bardem. Although they had briefly appeared opposite one another in Jamón, Jamón, Cruz said: "It's so obvious that we would make a great onscreen couple. Why are we not working together?" Allen may have been listening: He cast Bardem and Cruz as battling lovers in Vicky Cristina, and the two are now married and have a son, named Leo. Though Cruz has always been fiercely protective of her personal life, she is even more private when it comes to her child. "She would like to shoot the paparazzi who try to take his picture," Almodóvar only half-joked. "But seriously, I always knew Penélope would be an amazing mother. She has no fear of love. You can see that in her work."

Do you remember your first audition?
Yes, it was for the woman who became my manager and still works with me. She was testing around 300 actors. I was 14 years old, and she had me read a scene from Casablanca, which is impossible to do when you are that age. But my manager asked me if I wanted to work with her, and she sent me on some castings. When I was 16, I got Jamón, Jamón. Of course, I had to lie about my age. And I had to lie to my parents about the content of the script.
What was your first American film?
The Hi-Lo Country, directed by Stephen Frears. I was obsessed with him because he had directed Dangerous Liaisons. I watched that movie every day for a long time [laughs]. So I came to America for two months, and one movie led to another. I stayed.
In the beginning, you didn't speak any English. As you learned the language, did you have trouble translating emotional resonance into words that were alien to you?
Yes. There is a part of your brain that has to stop when you're acting. You have to be in the moment and dare to fly. Words can't be on your mind. And yet, when you are working in a foreign language, you have to be thinking about the words every single second. It's difficult, but I'm not complaining. It's just the way it is.
For Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen wanted you and Javier Bardem to speak Spanish, but Allen himself doesn't speak the language. Was that complicated?
He gave us the script he wrote in English, and he gave us the freedom to translate and improvise. Woody told me recently that he still doesn't know if we are talking about the atomic bomb. And it's the same thing in To Rome With Love—he doesn't speak Italian. I translated my lines. So he still doesn't know what I am saying.
How was your initial meeting with Allen?
Fast. Very fast. We sat down for 30 seconds. He had seen Volver, and he thought I would be right for this character. And that was it. I never spoke to him again until we were shooting.
Did you read the script before saying yes?
No. I had no idea who I would be playing. After I said yes, he sent the script with this man who knocked on my door and said, "I will come back and pick it up in an hour." I had to read really fast, and it was in English. It was the same thing with To Rome With Love—a different man but the same behavior. This time, I asked for two hours [laughs].
People ask Woody, "Do you spend a lot of time with your actors?" In front of all of us he says, "No—I try to avoid the cast. They come to me with all these strange questions that I either don't know how to answer or I don't want to answer." Somehow it works.
What's the key to being funny?
I don't play comedy as comedy. That would be the biggest trap. I think about the characters and their situations. Then you don't have to worry where the laugh is going to be. But comedy is harder than drama.
Is it easier to play a death scene or a sex scene?
I don't like dying. I die in Don't Move [an Italian film, for which Cruz won the Italian academy award for best actress], and I can't really look at it because it reminds me of my grandmother when she was very old. But sex scenes are very strange. Absurd, really.
I like the scene in Almodóvar's Broken Embraces where you think your husband has died during sex. You go to the bathroom, freshen up, and come back to bed only to find he's alive.
I love that scene: It's hard to invent a new way to shoot a sex scene, but Pedro has done it so many times. During the shooting, Pedro was giving my character thoughts. She's kind of happy that her husband's dead, but Pedro kept saying to me: "What are you going to do with the body? Why are you putting on lipstick?" The whole crew was laughing so hard, but a man had just died. That tension between tragedy and hilarity is why Pedro is a genius.
What is your favorite Almodóvar movie?
Probably Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!—that's why I wanted to become an actress. It's heartbreaking; it always makes me cry. After I saw it, I saw how my life would go. That movie gave me the dream.

Kirstin Says: She's No Rebecca Black, But Naima Deserves The Boot From 'American Idol!'
It's probably not fair to compare Naima to this week's unfortunate YouTube sensation, but she's had two less than desirable performances in a row. It's time for her to say her goodbyes!
The Top 12 American Idol contestants sang songs from the years they were born March 16 and as usual, some soared above the competition, while others tanked. However, no one stuck out as being quite as weak as "exotic flower" Naima Adedapo.
The 26-year-old Illinois-native sang Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It?" and failed to impress any of the judges — and most of the in-studio audience as well.
The normally super sweet Jennifer Lopez got honest with Naima, telling her she gave her a pass last week when she destroyed "Umbrella," but Naima was pitchy this week too. Randy Jackson agreed, saying her "vocals were all over the place."
You can tell how much Naima –who has a husband and two little kids at home — has worked to get to this point, so it was heart wrenching to see her so disappointed in herself.
Enough about the sad times though — there were six performances tonight that blew me out of the water.
1. Stefano Langone's cover of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" was the highlight of the night for me. I finally understand why J. Lo has always sung his praises; now he's a front runner now in my mind.
2. Pia Toscano sang Whitney Houston's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" and killed it, per usual. We're coming to expect nothing less from this 22-year-old beauty.
3. Scotty McCreery sang "Can I Trust You With My Heart," which isn't a song with which I'm familiar. Nevertheless, I can't trust the 17-year-old country crooner with MY heart. He steals it every time he steps foot on that stage. His charisma and quiet confidence is refreshing.
4. James Durbin is no Adam Lambert, but I love the rocker vibe he brings to the show this season. His cover of Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You" was a treat to witness in person. (And Kate Hudson was quite the fan. I watched her clap enthusiastically for James more than anyone else!)
5. Although Nirvana isn't my cup of tea, Casey Abrams was definitely one of the strongest acts of the night (like always). Steven Tyler and Randy raved about the 19-year-old musical genius' performance, but J. Lo complained he wasn't as pleasant as usual. I was on her level — but Casey still rocks my world.
6. Randy said it best: Lauren Alaina is back! Despite having the flu, my favorite little Georgia peach rose to the occasion with her "I'm The Only One" cover. Can she please sing Melissa Etheridge every week? Love it.
Side note: Not only was this the first live performance show of the season, but the Idols had quite the A-list crowd sitting in the audience watching them. Celebrities in house included Pat Sajak; Kate Hudson, her son, Ryder and BF Matthew Bellamy; Twilight's Nikki Reed; So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy and Marc Anthony.
I predict the top six performers I listed from this week will be our final six standing at the end of the season. What do YOU think? Who has your vote to win and most importantly, who's getting the boot tomorrow? Sound off below!

Speaking before the hearing in Chicago will be elder advocates and industry groups, as well the heads of major state agencies in charge of nursing home safety, including the departments of public health, aging, health care and family services, and human services.
The Senate human services and public health committees scheduled the hearing for Nov. 5 in response to a three-part Tribune series this month that exposed the dangerous mix of elderly residents and mentally ill felons. The series found incomplete background checks of younger criminals placed in the homes because of their psychiatric disorders, low staffing levels at many of the facilities that admit them, and breakdowns in reporting assaults and other crimes.
"At the end of the day, we need substantive results, and we need to protect our families," said Sen. William Delgado, D-Chicago.
Illinois nursing homes have a good safety record, said Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, but he added that "the issue has always been people with criminal records -- what screening and what protections do you put in place. That will be looked at."
The hearing is independent of Gov. Pat Quinn's recently convened Nursing Home Safety Task Force, which held the first of six meetings Thursday, and will convene again Oct. 20 to hear public comments about safety issues inside nursing homes.
Following the Tribune series, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan also called on public health officials to beef up inspections, improve data-keeping of alleged crimes and review the criminal histories of all 3,000 felons living in nursing homes.
Ron Holmes, a spokesman for the Senate Democratic Caucus, said the joint committee hearing would enable senators to hear about problems firsthand from top officials and experts and to make independent legislative changes if needed.
"We're going to have to look at ways to strengthen laws or enforce them a little better," Holmes said.
Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, said she has a special interest in the issue because her North Side district has among the highest concentrations of mentally ill nursing-home residents in the state, and some of the homes generate a large volume of police service calls.
"I want to ask the Public Health Department what (its) plan is to improve enforcement in nursing homes, whether we need legislation or more staff," she said.

Reviews (2)
I purchased one of these when they first hit the market three years ago and were being sold directly from the manufacturer. They are not accurate at all. I returned mine for a refund. On a 35 degree day it was reading that the inside of my truck was 100 degrees. That is just an example.
"Somewhat accurate"
I did a few tests with it and (1) not good on tinted windows as it states so I had to put on my windshield. Eek! I found the morning hours to be accurate but afternoon to not be quite so accurate. I like the idea of bringing awareness however I'd never leave my animal in the vehicle whether hot or cold. It's not a bad product though. I just wish it was a more accurate and you could see it clearly though factory tinted windows.

|OpenBSD Security Functionally paranoid!
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
I can't make any direct recommendations. Since you asked about OpenBSD, and this is in an OpenBSD subforum, here's a link to a recent discussion about providers who offer OpenBSD hosting, from the misc@ mailing list:
The thread starts here: ==> http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=123533998914160&w=2
Note: OpenBSD is not a requirement for any of these VPN or encrypted-proxy technologies.
Thank you all for the assistance. Now I'll just look around those services posted in that thread.
So the focus so far seems to be with securing outside communications. Since no OS can do much better than another in that position at the gateway, HTTPS fills the solution gap, being used for webmail, online banking, and other 'sensitive' communications.
But I think the really obvious point (to me anyway) isn't everything outside your network (which you cannot control), but rather everything inside your network. OpenBSD with PF can certainly provide a very secure firewall that, when properly configured, can be a very secure solution. Protecting your information on your "LAN" is just as important as protecting the communication of that information across the Internet.
The problem though, and I mean this with all due respect, is that you don't seem like a typical OpenBSD person. I don't want to scare you away, but unless you are interested in really getting involved with OpenBSD as an operating system, and not just a firewall platform, you may find life with OBSD a bit, well, abrasive.
If my assumption is correct, then what I would suggest is PFSense. While I regret that it runs on FreeBSD, it is a complete web-GUI-based PF firewall solution. It's good ole PF, dedicated to firewalling and intrusion detection, and you don't have to roll up your sleeves as much just to get to that point as you would with OpenBSD itself. And the GUI... Did I mention the GUI?
That being said, I certainly don't want to scare you off with that... OpenBSD is a fantastic OS and if you are willing to learn, it's willing to reward you.

I'm not so sure HTTPS is the appropriate answer for keeping communications private, Danno.
HTTPS is fine when you don't care if someone knows *which* bank you do business with. If you care to keep that information private, then it's the wrong medium. (This also means you want to use a bank that doesn't put your account numbers in the URLs, even if they use HTTPS. Unless you don't care about that, either. )
Respectfully, I think you're making arguments where there may be none- I agree with your points from the perspective in which you make them. My perspective was of the information contained within communications, not the obfuscation of some kind of the communications themselves. I may have not been clear.
I offer this analogy- You may understandably not want traffic cameras at toll booths snapping shots of the interior of your car, but are you going to avoid taking the toll road altogether because they're going to possibly take a snapshot of you passing the toll booth itself?
On the use of HTTPS, I thought it to be (and still do) sufficiently widespread for the types of communications the OP was referring to- banking, email, etc. NOT, for instance... this site . The lack of widespread HTTPS adoption is not HTTPS' fault- it's a fault of your local handyman webmaster .
Lastly, and again respectfully, if your bank is sending your account numbers in the URL's of your online communications... tis' time to get a new bank. And fast.

Thanks for that clarification, Danno! I believe we are in agreement.
Got another quick question about my situation.
Regarding man-in-the-middle attacks with like ARP poisoning or something else I'm not aware of (Since I'm still new to all this); would it be plausible for an attacker to obtain the login credentials to the server I ssh to? Or log in via some other method besides web? I read that this was possible even when someone logs in with https.
As we've discussed, only the data portion of HTTPS packets are encrypted. Everything else about them are plain-Jane TCP, with its own security issues. TCP has been subject to spoofed-packet attacks, for many years. See the ClientAliveCountMax and TCPKeepAlive sections in sshd_config(5) for a short description of TCP's limitations.
It is unfortunate, but there are some ...er...uhm... extremely popular operating systems which do not bother to randomize the Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs) used during TCP session creation even though it is accepted knowledge that a priori knowledge makes TCP spoofing/injection/MitM attacks easier to deploy. See this discussion of modulate state in the PF User's Guide, for one way OpenBSD routers can provide those workstations and servers with a little bit of protection from themselves.For SSL and TLS encryption and authentication, which may be used with HTTPS, there are varying crytographic methods that may be selected by the administrator when using either technology, and varying authentications that may be used, from complex end-to-end keys and certifications to none-at-all.
Can the various SSL or TLS cryptographic systems be broken? Maybe. Depending on how things are configured, poor authentication makes the crypto choice moot.You've once again raised broad concerns, without specifics. You're going to have to get specific with your question(s) if you want any kind of specific answers.
Last edited by jggimi; 15th March 2009 at 12:37 AM.
I think the breakdown is that https/ssl is used for logins on websites where the subsequent traffic will be https/ssl (in most cases, anyway. If you do happen upon a site that authenticates you 'in the clear' (via regular http) look for an explanation as to why, or don't surf there any more thinking you're secure.)
So what jggimi's saying is that it's not simply or specifically your authentication credentials that are risk, but all potentially all transmissions. And he's right. However, as I've mentioned on this subject in other threads in the past, I don't feel that this is likely to happen, or happen with any regularity. Put bluntly, MITM attacks are exotic and rare, and require a position in the path of traffic.
The idea of MITM attacks are normally for very specific incidents of highly anticipated traffic- in other words, a person conducting a MITM attack would have to anticipate a site you might surf to, have a full mock-up for the sign-in section of that site, and then wait and redirect (or copy and pass) that intended traffic to the mock-up to steal your information. If they were actually impersonating the sites (phishing) and not just doing a "copy and pass" of the traffic, they would also have to redirect any ssl certificate verification traffic to mock-ups of those verification sites, so that ssl certificate checks to the bogus sites would be approved by your browser. While the attacker waited for those sites to be called up, they would have to not redirect all other traffic (or re-redirect it lol) so you wouldn't think anything's wrong. That's pretty involved, and would involve a compromised or otherwise malicious network device in the path of your traffic to that particular site. That's a really low probability (albeit increased very significantly with unencrypted wireless connections.)
Aside from unencrypted wireless considerations, I would say as a network/security administrator that your potential weak points of security lie less in the paths of communication for endpoints, and more in the endpoints themselves. Your home LAN, the bank's servers, or the insurance company's database- these are the places where the vast majority of breaches of security take place. So be careful who you communicate with, and be sure your own house is in order.
Oh, and don't do your banking at while sipping a latte at Starbucks

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
hehehe, no, no ... I'm happy with the site... and it's administration.
One of the reasons I like it, in fact, is because it's not private and therefore not needing of the encryption used for things like banking sites. It's open for the community to take advantage of, and I'm quite thankful for that.

Traditional papillote takes time and requires origami-like folding. Here, we use foil to make a no-mess pouch; the fish becomes infused with the flavors of tomato, capers, garlic, and lemon.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- Active Time
- 15 min
- Total Time
- 30 min
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets black sea bass or striped bass (1/2 to 1 1/4 inches thick) with skin
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 thin lemon slices (less than 3/4 inch thick; from 1 large lemon)
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
- 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled capers
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Pat fish dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in 1 layer in center of foil on baking sheet and slide 2 lemon slices under each fillet. Arrange 2 thyme sprigs on top of each fillet.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened, about 1 minute. Stir in capers.
- Spoon hot tomato mixture over fish, then cover with another sheet of foil, tenting it slightly over fish, and crimp edges together tightly to seal.
- Bake until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness of fish); check by removing from oven and carefully lifting up a corner of top sheet of foil, pulling up sides of bottom sheet to keep liquid from running out. If fish is not cooked through, reseal foil and continue to bake, checking every 3 minutes.
- Transfer fillets with lemon slices to plates using a spatula (be careful not to tear foil underneath) and spoon tomatoes and juices over top. Serve immediately, discarding thyme before eating.

|CORE Exercises
specifically designed to strengthen your body's "core" have a
remarkable range of benefits. Balance, strength, flexibility, and
coordination are all improved by these essential exercises. The main
muscle trained is the transversus abdominis, a wide band of muscle
encircling the abdomen and lower back. This muscle has been called the
body's built-in weight belt.
Core training and core strengthening provide the cornerstones on which all your fitness activities are based. Yet until about five years ago, core training was a well-kept secret known only to dances and gymnasts, who were totally unaware the routines they'd been doing all their lives were about to go mainstream.
Core muscles are just that - the core of your body. And like a nuclear core reactor, these muscles are the power plant that drives the activities of everything else your body is doing. Core muscles - when trained and strong - provide a firm platform, a solid internal foundation, from which all movements and action can flow gracefully and purposefully.
Three basic core exercises are torso twists (done lying on your back), the plank, and pelvic bridges.

Not long ago when the band unloaded their instruments – a violin, a tuba and an accordion, among others – into a rock club, they were told they must be in the wrong place. They created music that was Grammy nominated (DeVotchKa created the soundtrack for the indie smash Oscar winning film Little Miss Sunshine) without the benefit of a huge promotion team or runaway budget, instead relying only on their own efforts by self-releasing their records. And they crafted gems of songs by mixing a beautiful blend of Eastern European bohemia, American prairie rock and distinctive indie and called it pop, rather than world, music. Now, the band is au courant, poised to shine on with their Anti- Records debut A Mad and Faithful Telling. From the cinematic richness of "Transliterator" to the modern pop experiment of "The Clockwise Witness," to the soaring and wrenching "Undone," DeVotchKa have produced a career-defining record and the world is listening.
"Bouncing from Mexico City to Prague to Milan to Denver over the course of ten songs, DeVotchKa's fourth full-length shows a band aging gracefully and eccentrically."- All Music Guide
