The catastrophes that have befallen Auburn native Becci Irizarry and her mother, Paula Power of Auburn, in the last month are beyond comprehension.
The catastrophes that have befallen Auburn native Becci Irizarry and her mother, Paula Power of Auburn, in the last month are beyond comprehension.
People around the world have been hearing the news about Ommy, 36, and Oceana Irizarry, 9. They were both killed in a freak accident Sunday when an airplane made an emergency landing on a beach in Florida. That became worldwide news.
They were Becci's husband and daughter, Paula's son-in-law and granddaughter. Becci was on the beach with the family — there are two other children — at the time of the accident. Paula has gone to Florida to be with her daughter.
But just a month ago, they also lost Jim Power, Becci's father and Paula's husband. He died June 18 at Memorial Medical Center. Becci and Ommy and their children were in Springfield for his funeral.
In mourning
In Auburn on Wednesday morning, I learned that word slowly has been spreading that it was Becci's husband and daughter who were killed in that strange and terrible accident we had all heard about.
Becci married Ommy Irizarry, a native of Puerto Rico, in 2005. He was in the Army, stationed at Fort Stewart in Georgia, and had done two tours of duty in Iraq. The family had gone to the beach in Florida to celebrate Becci and Ommy's wedding anniversary. Ommy's final post on his Facebook page was of his wife.
"Today, 9 years ago," he wrote, "I tied my life to my beautiful wife, Rebecca Irizarry. Wow, how fast time has passed! They say time flies when you are having fun. It is true. Thank you for being with me through thick and thin. I love you with all my heart, mi Roma. I am very happy and can't wait to see what the next 100 have in store for us. I love you, Becci."
Their Facebook pages are filled with happy, smiling photos of the family at Caspersen Beach near Venice, Florida. But their friends' comments under those pictures have gone from happy and celebratory to expressing disbelief, sadness and grief.
People in Ommy's hometown of Mayaguez are in mourning. "He was a special person," his cousin Marilyn Acevedo told Fox News Latino by phone. "He made a difference in everybody's life."
The Irizarry and Power families released a statement. It reads:
"Our precious Oceana has joined her daddy in heaven. She was nine years old. Oceana was a beautiful, intelligent and kind-hearted little girl. She was a natural artist who loved to learn. She was looking forward to the 4th grade.
"Ommy, a Sergeant First Class in the Army, was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, friend and soldier. He lit up the room whenever he entered and was devoted to his family.
"There are no words to describe the suffering we are experiencing. Their loss is devastating to our family and to everyone who knew them. Thank you to our many loved ones, friends and strangers for your outpouring of love and prayers.
"Although they are gone, Ommy and Oceana live on through organ donation. Forever, they will be in our hearts. To all of those who helped us on the beach and medical personnel, thank you for your efforts to save them. We will always be grateful to All Children's Hospital for your skilled and loving care of Oceana and our family."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the pilot of the airplane, a 1972 Piper Cherokee, radioed that the plane was in trouble and he was going to attempt to land on the beach. Neither the pilot nor passenger were injured. The Irizarrys were either struck by the plane itself or by falling debris. Investigators are continuing to look into the circumstances.
Auburn ties
Becci's mother, Paula, still lives in Auburn. She and Jim Power were married for 37 years and raised four children in Auburn — Rebecca, Sarah, Daniel and Leah. Jim Power had worked as a plumber until his health forced him to retire in 1997.
Becci played varsity basketball for four years under Trojan coach Don Thornton. Amy Phelan had Becci in her art class at Auburn High. She remembers her as a happy and involved student, active in school, including the Speak Out Against Drunk Driving program.
"She was extremely kind," says Phelan (who went by Amy Howard then). "I don't ever remember her without that smile. I've just never heard of this kind of accident happening before."
In the face of such a numbing tragedy as this, people feel helpless, though they want to do something for one of their own. Phelan expects that Auburn will rally strongly around the Power family.
"I think so, once word gets around," Phelan says, "Auburn is pretty good at that. It's actually one of the reasons I moved here."
I expect an account to benefit the family will be opened at a local bank. If that happens, I will let you know.
There are two fundraising pages started on the GoFundMe website to support the Irizarry family; they are gofundme.com/c9pbfc and gofundme.com/c9clt4.

It has been an interesting several weeks in American politics. Partisan brinksmanship in Congress led to a 16-day government shutdown estimated to have cost the American economy $24 billion (up to $72 million in Maine alone). The United States faced down the threat of breaching the debt ceiling and a default. In a recent poll, nearly half of Americans surveyed suggested that replacing everyone in Congress might not be such a bad idea.
What, if anything, might Congress do to restore its tarnished reputation?
The U.S. Congress, particularly the bitterly divided House of Representatives, needs to show the American people that it is capable of taking on hard issues and actually producing legislation. Thankfully, such an issue already exists, and the legislation designed to address it has been sitting on the desks of every member of the House: comprehensive immigration reform.
It has been more than seven months since details of the proposal first emerged from a bipartisan group of senators known as the "gang of eight." The legislation aims to address the broken immigration system in its totality. It strengthens border security and interior enforcement. Yet it does this while creating a 13-year path to citizenship for those here illegally who are willing to pay penalties and back taxes, learn English, undergo background checks, and maintain steady employment. Lastly, the package reforms the visa system to align it with the needs of our economy and society.
The legislation is not perfect, but it offers solutions to serious shortcomings in U.S. immigration policy that are long overdue. As the president said in remarks last week, we can no longer wait to address these important issues.
The reform proposal passed the Senate handily, with independent Maine Sen. Angus King offering an eloquent defense of the bill. However, the legislation became bogged down in the House. Many Republicans will only support a piecemeal approach, addressing each aspect of immigration individually. They want to deal with immigration enforcement first, while stalling on other dimensions of immigration reform indefinitely.
This "piecemeal solution" is untenable for two reasons. First, it fails to recognize the interdependence of these different dimensions of immigration policy. For instance, one can't realistically hope to stop the flow of migrants without also addressing visa policy for the sectors of the economy that depend vitally on migrant labor. Such shortsightedness could send entire sectors of the American economy, such as agriculture or the service sector, into a tailspin.
Second, comprehensive reform has been pushed forward by a broad coalition of advocates, all with different stakes and desired outcomes in relation to immigration: labor unions and corporate lobbies, ethnic advocacy organizations and tech giants, human rights organizations and evangelical faith-based groups. The House Republicans' piecemeal strategy of dealing with some issues, while postponing or ignoring others, would obliterate this fragile coalition. In addition, it would likely destroy the broad legislative and popular support for the proposal.
So what are the consequences if Congress fails to pass the legislation? The Immigration Policy Center addresses the concrete "cost of doing nothing" in a recent report: billions spent on border security that has been ineffective, hundreds of migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border, thousands of parents separated from U.S.-citizen children by deportation and removal policies. In economic terms, numerous studies have shown that a path to citizenship for those currently in the country illegally would mean increased tax revenues, greater consumer spending, and thousands of jobs created.
But it would do more than this. Americans currently harbor a toxic cynicism toward political institutions, especially Congress. Passing immigration reform would show us that our political system is not beyond repair. It would remind us that our nation's leaders still have the capacity to address important issues and craft shared policy solutions, even while disagreeing on details. In short, such a gesture might redeem Congress in the eyes of a citizenry that has very nearly lost its faith.
Robert W. Glover is the CLAS-Honors preceptor of political science at the University of Maine where his research focuses on the politics of immigration in the United States. He is a member of the Maine Regional Network, part of the Scholars Strategy Network, which brings together scholars across the country to address public challenges and their policy implications. Members' columns appear in the BDN every other week.

Returning to Linux, where to start? Part 1
So my last few months have been dealing with a physical move and at the same time learning a new role, which is actually an old one. At the same time, my poor old laptop was struggling with the load of Windows 7, as it is stuck with 1 gig of RAM (odd shaped slots prevent me from upgrading). So every once and a while I would download a new Live CD of a various distro that I was used to in order to determine what was I going to head back too. Would I be a lemming and jump onto the Ubuntu ship? Go with what I knew best with Mandriva or OpenSuse? Or should I venture to some of my favorite distro's I reviewed previously to see where they all lied?
The one thing I knew is that I still can't stand KDE and Gnome has really become more and more about others dictating form and function. My two favorites from years past had really gone in two different streams: XFCE was becoming main stream while Enlightenment was struggling. I took a quick gander on Distrowatch to see what new and uprisings were happening on the leaderboard and noticed two old KDE camps both had a XFCE distro out; Mint and PCLinuxOS. I had rather enjoyed both and actually interviewed Tex and Clem for my previous reviews, so why not head back to a reasonably comfortable place.
Now the first thing you might notice, I am not going to be doing reviews like I had done in the past. Those were a lot of effort of VMWare to go through the loading and installation. I figure that enough time has past and most distro's now have excellent forums, so my efforts would really be a waste of time. I decided to focus instead on what I think is done right, what needs some tweaking and are the distros really worth effort of installation for others.
The first one I installed was PCLinuxOS XFCE Phoenix Edition.
The style is quick to impress, I love the look of flames on a wallpaper. The rest, well, let's just say for a first run at an XFCE, my expectations were not over or underwhelmed.
The installation process had a hickup, in that it couldn't understand my partitions. They are not all that confusing and no other version I played with has run into any problems. I think it might be the fact I have an extended partition in the middle, making the system choke when running a expect. This wasn't too big of a deal, minus when I tried to load the other partitions up as their own folders (easier to find files from the others) the system crashed and I had to start over. So when I went into the pretty PCLinuxOS Control Center and tried to add these via "manage disk partitions", it failed to mount the new drives.
So then I tried to mount as root and it told me that it cannot recognize Ext 4 partitions...huh? Have I missed something over the past 3 years? Maybe a new magic command that I just don't know about? If someone could fill me in, would greatly appreciate it.
So this really bummed me out, as now I am missing some files from this distro from previous screen shots and will have to install another distro just to gather them back. Not going too well so far.
Other disappointment was that openoffice was not installed. I understand that this is a memory hog, however many others have found a way to install these without going over the magic 700 MB iso. I did notice in the web browser that there is now a Appstore. Like many other distros, it seems PCLinux now has a way to gather applications outside of Synaptic...why? I don't see the need to go beyond a solid method of gathering applications. One thing I did learn in developing applications at MSFT, KISS (keep it simple stupid). Why have two points of failure that are doing the same thing?
So what do you get as options? If you don't install office, wouldn't you think that office would be an option? Nope...just Opera, google chrome, Dillo, Epiphany...a couple of HTML editors, a music manager...eh...I just don't get it. Installing the applications actually seem to take longer than download and installing command line. I get the ease, however simply instruct people how to get all applications. In fact, my favorite was when Google Chrome didn't load, and I got this error message....classic.
The rest of the package I would rate as average. Nothing really screams wow, nothing else is really lacking. With this you get a solid XFCE distro, albeit a bit fragile that is not as robust as others. If you are a fan of PCLinuxOS, the support is there, the community that is second to none and the packages are customized towards what those users are wanting to see. I love that the links are there in Firefox and I love the line "The distro-hopper-stopper" as I have always felt PCLinuxOS was one that would stick with the user a bit more than others.
So how would I fix pieces? It really doesn't need a lot. Understanding a bit more on the installation issues would be a good start and finding a way to put a script to allow users to install some sort of office script would also be a solid step to help people get what they need with a system. Video playback on websites was solid, media is well represented. Like the Phoenix in the wallpaper, this is a nice picture, just not a whole lot of extra color. I will keep it around for a while and that usually says that I don't hate the distro, I have hope, and patience so time will tell how long it stays.
So there you have it folks, my first review after a few years off trying to figure out how not to lose millions :) Let me know what you think and please offer suggestions of how to improve, what would be a good next distro to review or anything else on your mind.
Cheers! KLG

How about Mint in Xfce or LXDE.
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
That is my next distro I am playing with, so stay tuned.
Ext4 is a relatively new file system whose support is only just now making its way into PCLinuxOS.
I'm not sure what exactly happened, but it seemed that the PCLOS app store died on takeoff. They showed up with a few apps with nice descriptions and a nice one-click install, but it really hasn't moved in quite a while.
PCLinuxOS is currently in beta-release mode, getting ready to release the 2010 versions with the main distro switching to KDE4.4, and community distros for Gnome, XFCE, E17 and a few other environments to follow shortly after the main release.
- Elder Geek said...
First of all, welcome back to the collective. Your cubical is waiting.
A lot of it has to do with philosophy. Big full featured DE's like GNOME and KDE don't mind being pigs, including the kitchen sink and have everything available. Thus it is expected you will have OpenOffice along with several other office apps installed.
Then the middle of the road DE's like enlightnement or XFCE are often put together as "lite" desktops and try to stick with smaller apps or apps that run well on older computers. Some include OpenOffice because it is so standard, others avoid it and make it an act of God to get it installed.
Then the webcentric lite desktops use LXDE or ICEWM and expect you to use google docs, gogole mail, etc to get your work done. Some use prism so these web apps act more like desktop apps. Jolicloud has hakced Google chrome so it now works like prism for running web apps.
I myself will play with GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment, XFCE, LXDE, et al. But I always keep going back to Fluxbox as my desktop of choice. Ubuntu/Mint makes it very easy to get started. I keep grumbling at the changes Ubuntu makes and swear any day now I will go to Debian or Arch or back to Slackware.
- twickline said...
Welcome back, I have bookmarked your blog and will keep a eye out for your next review.
My Suggestion is to review Gentoo or FreeBSD 8 :)
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
Thanks Tom, I used to love Gentoo, but that was back when you had to compile your own kernel. It probably taught me more about Linux than anything else. Will have to give it a go. As for FreeBSD, it reminds me a bit too much of Apple :) but maybe. Just never been a huge fan of BSD. To me it was just a more transparent attempt at being Unix. Don't get me wrong, working with Unix on engineering tools is what started my love of Linux, but just like I don't like KDE for being too much like windows, BSD just was too forceful at being Unix.
- Sproggy said...
As the creator of Phoenix ... then by all means why not try the latest beta ...
The version your using is nearly 18 months old ... any software or updates applied will not work on that version ... and that repo is in a frozen state ...
Try the Beta and then rewrite this ...
Kori (aka Sproggy)
- Neal said...
PCLinuxOS has a script to install Open Office. It is called, "getopenoffice." Try looking for it in the menus under "Office."
Look further, and you will encounter "addlocale" in "More Applications" > "Configuration." This script localizes the system into a user's native language.
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
Thanks nb, I did find that link and ran it, it failed and told me I would have to install via Synaptics. It also isn't under the menu the stable version, however in my trials with the beta it is located in a more logical and discoverable location there. It is under utilities along with some tweaks and other PCLinuxOS tools.
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
Thanks Kori, don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy the version and generally I don't pan many beta builds, as I typically harp on known bugs and people should really be focused on LTS or final releases, unless they are just playing around.
I have downloaded the e17 beta for PCLinuxOS, as enlightenment is a past favorite of mine, so after I give it a go and review it, I will take a look at the XFCE version.
I applaud your work however and keep it up. I am sure with 18 months of feedback and the solid community behind PCLOS, your new one will hopefully rock.
- Sproggy said...
just a small p.s before doin a full update ... update the zlib package in synaptic ... then update everything else
- Unknown said...
Welcome back!
I suggest E17 on Debian. Enlightenment is very fast and attractive. The stability of Debian is legendary : )
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
I do like Debian, and getting e17 would be interesting on that. Do you have a recommended distro for this, or a method that is easy to follow? Ping me if you do and I can write up a method/procedure here.
KnoLinuxGuy I'm a user of PCLinuxOS e17, just remember that you downloaded a beta, is stable enough but has some issues, if you wait a little you will have a final release.
- KnoWirelessGuy said...
Thanks Crow...unstable is a bit of an understatement...:)

Steep ascents, winding lanes and off-road trails: Ireland is a cycling playground
For its size, Ireland has some of the greatest geographical diversity of any country in the world. For cyclists, this means a breadth of very different experiences never more than a few hours travel from each other.
In recent years, considerable investment has gone into mapping and developing cycle routes in each of the four provinces, and two excellent websites, cycleni.com and cycleireland.ie have collated many of the best rides on the island and illustrated them with directions, maps, photographs and even videos.
And maybe, just maybe, you never imagined that the island of Ireland could satisfy your cycling soul. Allow us to suggest some reasons why Ireland may be the biking beauty you've been missing.
At 300 miles in all, the Kingfisher Trail in the northwest of the island is the longest in Ireland, offering beautiful views at almost every turn. The trail, whose roads straddle the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, consists of landscape dominated by mountains and lakes. In terms of difficulty, cyclists will find plenty of punchy climbs for a tough test or gently winding lanes between villages for those in search of something more modest.
The Great Western Greenway (GWG) in County Mayo is predominantly flat, 42 kilometres long and almost traffic-free. Following the route of the old Westport to Achill Island railway line, it hugs the Atlantic Coast along Clew Bay and is one of western Ireland's most popular walking and cycling routes. Almost entirely off-road, the GWG is particularly attractive to families and leisure cyclists.

Hardened road cyclists may be looking for something a little more challenging. Ireland doesn't offer long Alpine ascents, but it does offer plenty of mountain loops where accumulated hills soon add up to the equivalent climbs.
A fine selection for those with the thighs and lungs required to climb steep hills and mountains would include the Mourne Mountains Cycle Loop, 70 kilometres with almost 1,000 metres of climbing and taking in Spelga Dam, Silent Valley and Carlingford Lough; the Rathdrum Wicklow Gap and Dublin route, which is 75 kilometres long with 1,130 metres of climbing past Glendalough and the stunning Wicklow Gap; and the Healy Pass Cycle Loop, with 1,250 metres of climbing over 83 kilometres along the beautiful Beara Peninsula.
In short, as a cycling destination, Ireland most certainly has something for everyone. And, naturally, our famous hospitality ensures that the après-ride is just as pleasant.

Anti-Malware news
- VIPRE PC Rescue - (freeware) - Sunbelt Software is now offering a "standalone" anti-malware scanning/removal tool. The self-extracting executable is updated daily with the latest signatures. Scans include rootkit detection. "Four command line options are available, enabling the program to perform a boot scan during the next start-up, perform a deep scan, log the events, and disabling the rootkit." I really like the fact that not only can you download and execute it from the net, but you can keep it packed/unpacked on a USB stick and run from there. I've been using the full VIPRE product from Sunbelt Software for a while now and am very impressed with it. A full GSD review on both should be coming soon. Sunbelt reports that they will be providing a guide on how to use VIPRE PC Rescue with a bootCD for non-bootable system use. Sounds like a great add-on for VistaPE or other WinPE based boot disks. Spotted via the Sunbelt Blog.
- Portable Anti-Virus/Malware Security Tools: A Primer – earlier (related) Grand Stream Dreams post. Looks like I am going to have to do an updated post to add VIPRE PC Rescue to it. If you haven't seen that post back and you liked the VIPRE PC Rescue product, visit that one to snag some more soldiers for your battles.
- A bit of VIPRE roadmap – Sunbelt Blog. I'm really pleased with VIPRE and the performance it offers across our home systems. It is easy to use and the girls never ask me questions about what it is doing. Alex's crack development team is hard at work making it even better. Not only is the core detection engine about to be upgraded, but it will also include a feature called MX-Virtualization technology (MX-V). As Alex explains it, MX-V will provide "…an extremely compact virtualized Windows environment to test for the presence of malware."
In the MX-V system, malware is executed in a virtual Windows environment that mimics many of the core Windows functions -- registry, file system, internet connection, mouse clicks, etc. The actions of the malware are then analyzed for behavioral characteristics common to malware, or to look for certain malware signatures. By analyzing malware in this fashion, VIPRE is able to detect many types of malware without the necessity of creating a constant stream of dedicated unpackers and signatures for each variant of a piece of malware.
- Spybot-S&D – v1.6.2 Released - (freeware) – Granted, I rarely turn to this tool much anymore. With VIPRE running, and the other portable anti-malware tools and other anti-malware tools and core Windows system utilities at my disposal, I have more options than ever before. However it is hard to leave it behind and I keep it updated anyway. According to the post this latest version now includes support for "…the latest Opera releases, support for Googles new browser Chrome, fixed support for fresh older Firefox installations, improved support for fast user switching while Spybot is running, plus a few more bugfixes." Tantalizingly, they also mention that a preview release of Spybot S&D 2.0 will be available soon. No link to download just yet but fans of Spybot S&D can drool over these Spybot 2.0 alpha screenshots buried in their official forum.
- Ad-Aware Free Anniversary Edition 8.0 - (freeware) – This latest version looks even more 2.0 in the GUI. To be honest, I haven't used Ad-Aware for a very long time (ever since the SE version got dumped and it failed to be able to be run off a USB stick). This version claims improved performance and tweaks, rootkit removal support, and integration with Windows Security Center for what its worth.
- hype-free: Can you test AV using VirusTotal? – cdman83's thoughtful blog post on the merits of VirusTotal and a lively follow-on comments discussion. Basically, I think it comes down to understanding that these on-line scan services act as a line to examine an unknown suspect file to see if if contains or exhibits malicious code. It is not a test or comparison of the performance (efficacy) of some AV/AM products over others. At least that's how I've always looked at it. Keep these services in context and use them as a first-response tool to examine a suspect executable/file. Understand the limitations and that just because a submitted sample passes/fails, doesn't necessarily mean anything. It is just data to be used as part of a skilled responder's analysis of the file and possible threat. As cdman83's comments and supporting links indicate, having a accurate understanding of their strengths and weaknesses leads should lead to more realistic usage and results interpretations.
Drive Encryption and Authentication
- Caviar 2TB – When I first got my 500GB HDD for our desktop system, I thought, geez. That's too much. Now, with a price-point of about $299, I'm wondering how I can get one for our home. It's SATA so I couldn't (easily) use it on my current system, but a future system upgrade might provide a home. Holy Hopscotch! 2TB. I'm trying to get my mind around that. I don't yet find any TB-level drives for laptops just yet. These Newegg offered 500GB drives are the closest. Yet at about a $100 price-point, they also seem too good to pass on.
- Hard drive manufacturers back new disk encryption standard - Ars Technica. Instead of a software-based HDD solution, drive manufactures are attempting to deal with it at a firmware level. Ars points out that while drive encryption does provide data protection, it does not solve the issue with hardware protection and while data might be safe, the drive could be possibly be reformatted or replaced (at minimal cost). And these only protect systems/data at rest. As we have seen, hackers can successfully intercept unencrypted data one the disk-encryption has been decoded after successful boot with rootkits, trojans, data-sniffers, etc. As we are finding out ourselves at work, Whole Disk Encryption also poses challenges for IT system support. It's hard to remote-boot/access a WDE system. Use of tokens or a common administrator access code lowers the security the system is supposed to protect. With WDE we are unable (kinda) to OS boot a system to perform any form of on or off-line service and troubleshooting unless we use a token that erases the user's code (then they have to pick a new one) or ask the user to give us theirs to use. At least it's a start in the right direction.
- Binary Intelligence: Encrypted Drive Standard – links to the official standards.
- CYB3RCRIM3: Authentication and the Erased Hard Drive – Interesting legal case where the defendant requested provision of the police investigation's hard-drive (for the system used to communicate with the defendant in on-line chat sessions)…which ended up getting erased, thus according to the defendant, prevented his defense in attempting to authenticate/disprove the official record/logs provided against him by law enforcement. Computer forensic experts are all over handling the suspect drive with duplication and chain of custody control. But it raises a question to this layperson…is the same process handled when a law-enforcement drive is used during an investigation? Anyone care to comment?
- End to End Encryption is NOT the PCI Silver Bullet! - Branden Williams' Security Convergence Blog – Wonderful perspective. Yes, the Heartland credit processor appears to have been victimized by malware code lurking in the unallocated file space. Yes, whole drive encryption, and encryption of PCI data while transmitted helps. But even at some basic level, critical data must be unencrypted to be used by the system or system points. Those will always be the chinks in the armor. Constant Vigilance! as Mad-Eye Moody might say is probably the only solution.
- Going back to the whole disk encryption thought, don't forget that there are (at least) two long-running free programs that you might consider looking into; CompuSec and TrueCrypt. It will at least keep your data safe in the event of system theft.
Mostly Forensics
- Free SANS Forensic Training for Local Law Enforcement - SANS Computer Forensics, Investigation, and Response blog – SANS forensics course program allows federal law enforcement officers who sign up for the class to bring along a local law enforcement officer with them for a free training "ride-along". That's neat!
- Forensic Incident Response: Using RegRipper – Hogfly offers up some additional applications for using Harlan's great Regripper tool. System Admins take note.
- Windows Incident Response: Catching up... – Harlan has been hard at work on finishing the next edition of his computer forensics book. However, this post shows that he has still managed to keep a close on on great sources of forensics information and developments in the field. All great links.
- Ascension Blog » Digital Forensics – Links to a paper by Ian Charters directed towards "..the laymen and explores how digital forensics has evolved over the years." Neither deep or technical, it does provide a nice overview on digital forensics and the issues the field has gone through.
- Dates from Unallocated Space - « SANS Computer Forensics, Investigation, and Response – short but interesting piece. Useful not just for forensics crowd but also for system administrators working on a system.
Security Stuff
- Heartland Sniffer Hid In Unallocated Portion Of Disk – gcisecurity blog – more details on how Heartland got hacked.
- Conficker/Downadup Scanning – SANS ISC Handler's Diary post about network scanning characteristics of this baddie.
- TinyURL Security Issues Revealed – InfoSecurity blog and Finjan MCRC Blog 2009 - Evasive URL techniques – Turns out that use of a "tinyURL" link often will cause bypass of many web-based "safe-browsing" url link scanners. Yet another reason to beware of these links without checking them out first. I'm still waiting for a Firefox 3.x version compatible release of Long URL Please.
- IT Security Expert: Monster Jan09 breach: The Website Passwords Problem – Oh my. Dave Whitelegg goes to task on Monster for numerous problems with their security model. If you have a Monster.com account or deal with website security, it's a good read.
- Monster.com - They Just Don' Get It! | Infosec Ramblings – Kevin picks up on Monster's beatdown where Dave left off. Where is the SSL encryption? Not anywhere Dave can find!
- Test your defenses against malicious USB flash drives - Computerworld Blogs – Long and detailed discussion of issues related to USB devices. We've already covered it a lot at GSD before here and again here, but this is another great reminder and perspective.
- New Tool: wlan2eth – New find for the network security folks from Josh Wright:
- VRT: Dial-up Security woes in East Africa - Alain Zidouemba goes on a trip to visit family in East Africa and finds that pervasive use of dial-up Internet access brings headaches. Couple that with plans that are minute-based, big DAT files and security patch updates from vendors often discourage security updating of software and systems. In a growing consumer broadband centric world, what options exist for keeping these folks and systems safe and current? Yes, I know folks can use a variety of off-line system patching solutions, all are great, but unless you still have access to a broadband connection or friend with one, systems for these users often end up being on the front-line of computer security battles, and cannon-fodder. The post is a good read.
"Wlan2eth is a simple tool to convert packet captures in 802.11 format to Ethernet format. Lots of tools can only understand Ethernet link types, so I wrote this tool to convert captures to a format that they can understand.
"For each packet in an input 802.11 capture file, wlan2eth examines header values to ensure it is a data frame, then it creates a new output packet with an appropriate Ethernet header (source and destination address and embedded protocol field are preserved from the 802.11/802.2 header). Timestamps are also preserved from the original capture.
"This tool is really only useful for encrypted traffic, though you could use it with a tool such as airdecap-ng to decrypt an encrypted capture first, then convert the unencrypted output file to Ethernet format."
Keep Safe.
--Claus V.

I'm back I'm back... See, you know Sarko dumped me. So according to the B&N ivillage style mainstream (armchair) psychologist's relationship advice, I must either go buy a cargo of bubble bath soap, lavender bath salt, exfoliating body scrub, Dead Sea mud mask, cucumber peeling mask, human embryo lip booster, Egyptian mummy eye mask, toe nail aloe vera, cream cheese anti-bacterial hand wash, tranquil mint underarm shave creme, surgeon-knife-sharp stainless steel tweeser (life-long free sharpening), tub-round aromatherapeutic scented Jesus candles (no Jehovah's Witnesses flavor cuz they smell even worse geez...), marsupial rejuvenating facial moisturizer, eucalyptus spearmint foot treatment; book a vacation in Club Med; learn a new language or lose 20lb, right?
But it's not like I didn't take a shower this morning; I've just come back from a vacation; I'm already learning my 3rd language; and if I'm 20lb lighter I must be very ill. So what does any of these "chick reads" do for me?
Sometimes I really wonder if all those women's self-help books are secretly published by Bath and Body Works if not Kiehl's. Haven't all scorned women washed themselves in the past ten years? Why do recovery and healing always have something to do with personal hygiene? Can society encourage heartbroken women, women of low self esteem, dysfunctional women to actually get their asses up and do SOMETHING other than take a damn long shower for heaven's sake?! Getting the chicks to the spa is called "self-love"? Wait wait, hold on here. I may not know about the Caucus or if an airliner crashed into the Pentagon as much as the smart educated folks but speaking of chick stuff, you can't fool me honey; I know quite well that's consumerism and patriarchy in disguise.
It's painfully sickening to even just witness this kind of pseudo-female-empowering / pseudo-Feminist mainstream chick culture. Do these "make yourself pretty then run into him in a party" advisors all have their brains between their legs and live in Orange County? Incredible.
Will I write a book about defecating if somebody pays me $50,000? Sure, why not, everybody has to pay rent. But to make themselves big by confusing, mis-leading, mentally manipulating and hurting the ego of the women that are already suffering, in hell, confused, is just low. For a man with a nauseous face like Greg Behrendt, I won't even let him open my car door; don't even mention his "advice". Believing anything such a man says is as stupid as believing in Atkins while he died obese himself. In Downtown Chick's jurisdiction, what people like Greg Behrendt do is on about the same level as pedophilic crime or molesting the developmentally disabled.
I was about to suspect the wife's eyesight who co-writes with him but then you see, a picture is worth a thousand words. Dude, what a couple. It's beyond belief this kind of losers represent this country's celebrity level icons of relationship related nonfiction literature and people see him as "funny" and "witty". I mean, sheesh, even a McDonald's double cheese burger is of a better taste than them. Disgusting.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Tech Qa
Understand Your Mustang and The Law
A quick reference to motor-vehicle codes and Mustang restoration ethics
A few months back, we opened up a huge can of worms by suggesting Mustang restorers, in the interest of authenticity, stamp the vehicle identification number into the engine block like the factory did. This suggestion stirred up a lot of controversy because to some of our readers it implied fraud. And we certainly weren't suggesting fraud. Our suggestion came in the spirit of doing an authentic restoration that would look concours correct. The controversy it created inspired us to find out everything we could about classic Mustang restoration, the law, and ethics.
When performing a concours restoration or building a restomod from scratch, ask yourself what's legal (and ethical) and what isn't. We strongly encourage you to follow your state's motor-vehicle laws when you restore a Mustang. We also encourage you to be honest while you're at it. This isn't always easy, because sometimes restoring a Mustang means having to do something illegal in the interest of authenticity. With some restorations, it's a tough call.
For example, say you purchase a '66 Mustang with a K-engine code (289 High Performance), but the original Hi-Po engine is long gone. You hit pay dirt and find a complete '66 289 High Performance engine that's date-coded to your Mustang's build date. Do you tell the state? And do you tell a buyer? Who does it harm if you don't? It's the correct engine for that particular model. This scenario could be repeated for just about any Mustang because casting date codes exist on all Ford engines, not just the Hi-Po.
The decision to be honest with the authorities and potential buyers is personal. If you have performed an authentic restoration, the state and potential buyers aren't going to care if the engine isn't original. Set a proper example for your kids and play it honest.
You must also play it safe before buying a Mustang. If you've invested a lot of time and money in a restoration without any forethought into titling and registering it in your state, you could be in for a rude awakening. If the state cannot verify the vehicle's origins, or the vehicle doesn't pass a state inspection, the state can impound it. We've seen this time and time again through the years, costing enthusiasts untold thousands of dollars in restoration and legal fees.
A friend in California purchased a Shelby GT350 he didn't know was stolen. Not only was it stolen, the vehicle identification number (VIN) had been changed by a previous titleholder--the thief who had stolen the car in the first place. Ignorance of the car's stolen status didn't get our friend off the hook. It cost him thousands of dollars in legal fees, reimbursement to the victim who lost the car, a night in jail, and a permanent criminal record because he was in possession of a stolen vehicle. This is why you must first do your homework before purchasing a Mustang.
If possible, examine the title and check the vehicle's history with the state before buying. Inspect all of the VINs and compare them with the title and registration before plunking down the cash. If the VINs on the vehicle do not match the title and registration, do not buy the vehicle. If the vehicle has a salvage title, check your state's motor-vehicle policy for salvage vehicles before buying.
Some states are specific about returning salvage vehicles to service, and in some states it isn't permitted. This means you may have to title and register a scrapped vehicle in a state where it's legal before it can be titled in your state, and doing your homework before the purchase is critical. It may be legal to put a salvage vehicle back on the road in the state where you are buying, but not legal in your state. Fact-check first: You might lose out on the purchase, but better to have checked and lost than to be stuck with a vehicle you cannot register.
Most states have a liberal policy with salvage vehicles. They want to know whether the vehicle has been stolen and that it is safe. This normally involves a state inspection before you can title and register the vehicle.
This leads us to the issue of VINs and codes on the body, warranty plate, body buck tag, or certification sticker. Ever since enthusiasts began restoring Mustangs in the late '70s, they've been making changes to these hot collectible automobiles. Enthusiasts have changed colors, drivelines, axle ratios, interior colors, and more. This begs the question: what's proper and legal, and what isn't?
Restoring a Mustang to deliberately commit fraud is unethical. Fraud is purchasing an A- or K-code '65-'66 Mustang and adding GT components, then selling it as a Mustang GT without telling the buyer. The same thing can be said for someone who buys a '69 Mustang SportsRoof and turns it into a Mach 1, then doesn't tell the buyer. Any way you slice these scenarios, they become fraud when you don't tell the buyer the truth, even if you stand to get a lower offer in the process. You rarely gain anything by selling a vehicle under false pretenses. If the buyer learns of it, you could be sued. You may also face criminal charges if the fraud is outside the law.
Fraud becomes even more involved when you alter a vehicle identification number to make a classic Mustang something it wasn't to begin with. This includes changing anything about the VIN by using a different engine or body serial code. Forexample, taking a '69-'70 SportsRoof and changing the engine code to G to make it a Boss 302 or changing the 02 to 05 to make it a Mach 1. The technology is out there to do these things, but getting caught can get you in hot water.
Cutting the VIN out of the inner fender apron and welding it into the inner-fender of another Mustang is also Federal fraud. This is reassigning the VIN of one Mustang to another Mustang, also known as "rebodying" a restoration. When this happens, you are breaking federal law. It becomes a felony and potential prison time if you're caught. Although we know it happens with some regularity, we strongly discourage this practice.
While we're on this subject, we want to clarify the practice of stamping the VIN into an engine block or other driveline component. If you're restoring a classic Mustang and the factory stamped the vehicle's VIN into the block ('65-'67 289 High Performance and all '68-up), consider this practice only when the block casting date and number match the vehicle's build period prior to the scheduled build date. It should never be practiced with a replacement block that's obviously a replacement. For example, a '69-'70 Boss 302 with a '71 service replacement block isn't an engine you would stamp with the VIN because it's obviously a service replacement. In any case, always tell the buyer it isn't the original block when the engine has been replaced. This enables you to sleep comfortably and keeps your reputation intact.
We're including a complete listing of state motor vehicle bureaus from all 50 states. Before you buy a Mustang and undertake a restoration, play it safe and check the motor vehicle laws in your state. This keeps you in the clear and keeps us all honest.

First, since we're going to see Peepshow at Planet Hollywood, we're looking at Koi for sushi. Yes, you can go to Koi in NY or LA, even Bangkok; but not all of us are from one of those big towns and even if you are, you may not go often. Don't miss the dragon rolls or the cod- they're delicious.
We love to go to a steakhouse, especially in Vegas. It's a great beginning if you're having a few cocktails and there are always a ton of men around. This time we're going to try CUT Las Vegas by Wolfgang Puck, who's never let us down in one of his fine dining restaurants.
We're curious to check out the Wynn's new tower, Encore, so what better way than dinner at Sinatra and a night out at XS? Sinatra's Italian food and retro styling with an ode to Frank seem very Vegas.
One more unique-to-Vegas restaurant is CatHouse, which is the first spot to equally fuse fine food and risque entertainment. It attracts celebs, is modeled after a 19th century bordello and encourages voyeurism. We're curious, aren't you?

You will see them at many of Pembrokeshire favourite surfing beaches, particularly Freshwater West and Newgale, and they provide a focus of interest to people watching from the shore.
The expert kitesurfers attract the admiration of spectators as they skilfully manouevre their boards by using every gust and eddy of the offshore wind to speed along the surfline or perform spectacular aerobatic moves on the inshore stage, with its scenic background.
Kite sports, which include kitesurfing, buggying and boarding have been rapidly spreading in Pembrokeshire during the last five years and by now are pretty well established on the larger beaches of the county, most particularly Newgale, where there is a two-mile stretch of flat, firm sand at low water. The sport in all its forms needs firm control to assure safety for both the fliers and the public generally, as other beach users can be compromised by the speedy, and sometimes unpredictable activities of the exponents of this complex pastime.
Kitesurfers have to be constantly aware of the presence and movement of other beach users and particularly swimmers and surfboarders, who are vulnerable as they are unable to take swift evasive action in the event of an imminent collision.
These circumstances have prompted the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to issue advice on some key points to be considered. They advise exponents to take lessons to learn the basics of control, safety and situation assessment. They also advise Kitesurfers to:
Be sensible and ensure they have lots of space, avoiding small beaches and crowded areas.
Consider the weather and wind speed in terms of ability and kite size.
Check the beach noticeboard for seasonal restrictions and guidelines.
Be considerate towards other beach users, taking responsibilty for control.
Invest in third-party insurance.
And the Authority advises other beach users to:
Avoid walking or standing under a kite or downwind of the kite flier.
Never touch the kite lines.
Remember that, although it is the flier's responsibility to avoid other beach users, in some scenarios it may be safer to move.
In an emergency where help is needed, weight the kite down with rocks or sand.
While many of the surf sports providers offer advice, tuition and equiment for surfing, surfboarding and other disciplines, not all of them deal with kite sports with their rather specialised skills. There are lists of providers in the National Park's comprehensive free publication Coast to Coast which is distributed widely throughout the county.
Information is also available at the TICs, or the National Park Authority's websites at www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk or www.arfordirsirpenfro.org.uk or on the websites of the water sports providers throughout the county.

May is National Foster Care Month. This month marks a time when we acknowledge and express our gratitude to those who provide a helping hand to children in foster care, including professionals, foster parents, mentors, and others. Jennifer Lopez and ABC Family's The Fosters highlights a fictional couple that takes in foster children out of the goodness of their heart. In recognition of Foster Care Month and how much we love The Fosters, here are the seven best moments from season one:
1. Wedding of Lena and Stef
Lena and Stef's Wedding
Lena and Stef finally getting married was a huge moment on The Fosters. Not only did it mark a major turning point on the show, it also spread awareness on the importance of marriage equality.
2. Mariana and Callie
Mariana and Callie's Sisterly Bonding
When Callie comes to visit for a family gathering for the first time since since she ran away, she and Mariana find themselves having a true sister moment. Mariana realizes that the house really is incomplete without Callie and Callie realizes just how much she misses everyone.
3. Jesus and Mariana
Mariana's Quince
In season one, we see twins Mariana and Jesus celebrate their 15th birthday with a beautiful quiceañera Lena and Stef throw for Mariana, helping her embrace her Latino culture. This episode is also when Mariana finds out that Jesus and Lexi have been dating behind her back.
4. Lena and Stef
Lena and Stef's Baby News
Another one of the best moments between Lena and Stef is when the two finally agree that Lena's pregnancy is an amazing blessing, and keeping the baby will be a great thing for their family.
5. Callie and Jude
Callie and Jude's Adoption Day
The season finale of The Fosters was also one of the biggest moments of their lives. After being brought in as foster children, Callie and Jude prepared to be adopted. Although an obstacle landed in the way of Callie's adoption, Jude was still able to officially be named a Foster. A thrilling and heartwarming moment for everyone!
6. Mariana and boyfriend
Mariana's Boyfriend
In the second half of season one, audiences are introduced to Mariana's first real boyfriend. We love the scene where she visits his home for dinner and the two share their first real kiss.
7. Callie and Brandon
Callie and Brandon's Kiss
Ah, the kiss that made everything go awry. We're not too sure if we were ever Brallie fans, as we felt they were better off seeing each other as brother and sister, but the moment they kiss in the yard was monumental. It was the reason Callie ran away but also when they both realized that what they were feeling for each other was much more than just a physical attraction.

How to run task every 30 seconds
جميع الردود
Take a look at the following link
Anyway, according to what I Know, you cannot set a repetition interval lower than one minute.

Hi ,
The least repetition interval value of task scheduler must be 1 minute. You can create a task to run an app every minute. But it cannot be set to 30 seconds. This is by design. Would you like to tell me what app you want to schedule? The following article for your reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748841(v=ws.10).aspx
yes, i want to take a screenShot of the client's desktop every x seconds.
Try open source coded projects that are out there. Most are free, and without going into detail and naming names (of programs) they'll do what you want to accomplish. Spy on the client...have just tried 2 very goods ones myself...but for my own security. Kept the one, BTW if you ate your vitamins in the morning maybe you'd have the energy to check on 'em....theres a hint here somewhere. Good Luck
ps...just read my reply again. Theres actually more than one hint.

Hi ,
Firstly, I still would like to say that this goal cannot be achieved by creating a scheduled task.
Why did you want to collect the screenshots for the client's desktop every 30 seconds?
Also, you may go to check if the Problem Steps Recorder can help collect the information which you would like to obtain.
The Problem Steps Recorder in the Windows 7 operating system is a feature that enables users to record their interactions with an application and provide a detailed screen-by-screen view with accompanying information.
If the above information does not help, you may need to find a special program or write a script for it.
Similar issue i met, i have a task need run immediately after create it, so i set /st as current time plus 10 secs. the problem is if current time is like 23:51:30, after trimmed the /st is 23:51:00, so the task will never run, so my current solution is plus 70 secs, not the best way, still searching...
i hope you have got the answer to this question in this 2 long years
but if not
then follow the below steps
1.Create the task with 5min interval.
2.Export the task in .xml format.
3.Open .xml file with Notepad.
4.Change the Interval parameter from 5M (it denotes five minutes) to as per your requirement.
5.Save the changes.
6.Import the new updated file in Task Schedular.
7.When a pop up of settings is displayed, Just click OK.
8.Your task with the custom duration is ready.
Note: Min time duration is one minute.
So you have to schedule two such type of tasks 30 seconds apart.
Lol it's much easier:
1. Create .bat file such:
your command
rem make 2 tries to ping itself (every try is paused for 1 sec)
ping /n 2 localhost > nul
goto :start
you can change 2 for 30 and get 30 sec wait.
After that add this bat file to your scheduler with 10min interval. It means your command will be executed every X seconds until crashed and will be restarted in 10 min by scheduler.
Don't forget not to create parallel instances (the setting in scheduler)
- تم التحرير بواسطة a_TnT_ 30/شوال/1435 07:13 م
You can and can't do this..
Task scheduler will require a 1-min interval at the minimum..
You can however Batch script it with wait commands to run every 30 seconds.. but that's a lot of copy and pasting.. It will work though..
For instance..
do this..
Timeout /t 30
do this...
timeout /t 30
Alternately you can setup your script to run every 1min from the Task manager.. and just put the Timeout /t 30 in the script and duplicate it once..
For instance..
Task manager runs it every min, at the end of the script put timeout /30 and the same thing in it.. than it will run every 30 seconds.. but you can just use Task manager to run it every 1min..

John Marwood Cleese is the actor who portrayed Nearly Headless Nick in the first two Harry Potter films. Although the character has appeared in most of the novels, on screen the ghost appears only in the first two films.
John Cleese was born on 27 October 1939 in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, He attended Cambridge to study Law, but spent most of his time writing and performing with the university's legendary Footlights group.
Cleese is best known for his work as a member of the comedy troupe Monty Python, which was formed for the BBC series Monty Python's Flying Circus, which ran for four seasons (although Cleese left after three series, he contributed some writing for the fourth). After leaving the series, he co-created the sitcom Fawlty Towers, which is often listed among the best comedy series ever. He never completely left Monty Python, however, and continued to appear in theatrical films made by the troupe up to 1983.
In the 1980s, Cleese's career was boosted by an Emmy-winning guest appearance on the US sitcom Cheers, and an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay for A Fish Called Wanda (in which he also co-starred). He also received acclaim for a rare dramatic turn in the Kevin Costner western Silverado.
In 1999, Cleese joined the James Bond film franchise in The World is Not Enough, initially playing "R", Q's assistant; after the death of the actor who played Q, Cleese's character was promoted to the new Q for 2002's Die Another Day. Following the reboot film Casino Royale in 2006, Cleese's character was cut, and later a younger version of the character was used starting with 2012's Skyfall. Cleese's appearances in both the Potter and Bond film series makes him one of the few actors to have played major roles in the two biggest-grossing UK film series of all time, other than Ralph Fiennes and Robbie Coltrane (to which the latter was also in The World is Not Enough).
He also provided voiceover work as "King Harold" for Shrek 2, Shrek the Third and Shrek Forever After.
Cleese continues to perform and in 2009 reunited with the surviving members of Monty Python to celebrate the troupe's 40th anniversary.
A species of lemur, Avahi cleesei, was named after him, in honour of his working in protecting these endangered primates.
