On Monday night, Esther Atkins published a great article that explained, from the participating athlete's perspective, why the Jacksonville Half was such a special race. She highlighted three points: participants came for the love of the sport over personal glory; the benefits to performance of helping or being helped; and the positive buzz surrounding the whole endeavor. Everything that Esther Atkins writes about was what intrigued me about this race from go.
Back in October, when I heard about the plans, I immediately reached out to Richard Fannin, who had never met me, never heard of me, had no idea what I was doing, but asked me to give him a call to talk about it on the spot. While we chatted it was obvious how passionate he was for the sport and how committed he was to pulling his crazy plan off. Maybe because he could tell I shared his passion or probably just because he's really nice, within minutes of making my acquaintance I had an invitation to Jacksonville. Having never covered a race, having hardly traveled since having kids, having absolutely no idea what to expect, I jumped. I didn't know why at the time; I'm usually cautious about these things, but my gut made me do it.
Esther does spectacular work explaining why Jacksonville was a special race for those elite and subelite runners who raced there, but maybe you're left wondering why you should care about Jacksonville. Heck, you might be wondering why we went to Jacksonville.
We didn't go to Jacksonville to rub elbows with running legends or rising stars. We didn't go to promote ourselves. We didn't go to provide race play-by-play or to report on stats (we'll leave that to Fannin). We didn't go as fangirls. We didn't go because it was easy for us to get there (it wasn't).
Why did we go to Jacksonville? Read more >>

After spending a few days out of the public eye, Jerry Brown spent Friday night at an awards dinner in Orange County honoring members of the law enforcement community.
Though polls put the Democrat ahead in the race for the governor's office, Brown will be campaigning hard, visiting more than 23 cities in the next three days.
"I don't want to prejudge what will happen on election day. I hope everyone will go out and vote. But if I am elected I'll just do the best job I can in putting California back on track," he said.
Republican challenger Meg Whitman said she believes the race is still wide open. She visited with patrons in Porto's restaurant in Glendale Friday night. The appearance was interrupted by chanting nurses. The California Nurses Association and other state employee unions are supporting Jerry Brown.
"What you see is that the unions are fighting for the control that they've had on Sacramento for the last ten or fifteen years and no one likes to give up control," said Whitman.
Democratic Senate candidate Barbara Boxer was making the rounds with her colleague Dianne Feinstein. The pair attended a rally at California State University Northridge. Boxer criticized opponent Carly Fiorina's stance on the economy.
"She wants to go back to the policies of George W. Bush, the same policies that got us into so much trouble," said Boxer to the energized crowd.
Fiorina was campaigning in Menlo Park where she stated she would work well with Senator Feinstein.
"Dianne Feinstein agrees that we need to move forward with some important trade agreements because we depend on trade agreements. Who stands in opposition to trade agreements? Barbara Boxer," said Fiorina.
It's estimated that more than half of likely voters will cast their ballot by mail, a record in California for a general election.

The first recommendation is a two-part talk that Steve Wozniak delivered about how he got started in computers, going from his childhood through the founding of Apple. He talked a lot about the pranks he pulled and how having limited resources really helped him find creative designs. It's really funny and very inspiring. Part One / Part Two
Another good program is Dave Slusher's interview with science fiction writer James Patrick Kelly. This piece has some nice commentary about the early days of cyberpunk fiction including Kelly's take on Bruce Sterling, an interesting analysis of Kelly's story "Think Like a Dinosaur", and details on how he got started as a SF writer. Link
I've also started listening to Adam Curry's Daily Source Code podcast, but I'm not quite recommending it just yet. Podcasting is a new term to the web world; it describes a method of recording audio programs, publicizing them through RSS feeds, distributing them using BitTorrent, and performing them using portable audio players. It's a neat application of these new technologies, and it's enabling the distribution of interesting talk to an audience that wants to hear other people talk about interesting things. Adam Curry (yes, the early 80's MTV VJ) was one of the first to put all of this together, and he's been doing a daily program for a few months now. Like a lot of early blogs, the program is more about itself than anything important; lots of the content is Adam and his listeners commenting about podcasting, mixed with some interesting music that's under free use licenses. I'm glad to see this all in development, but I want to see some technological improvements before this will go huge... that's a different essay :)

13 Years of WordPress – and why that is important to you
May 30th 2016
This past weekend, WordPress celebrated its 13th Birthday. If it were a child, it would now be a bona fide teenager. The awkwardness of teenagehood aside, WordPress has come a long way since it was first forked from B2 in 2003.
WordPress has a fascinating history that the fine folks over at wpmudev captured last year. It is well worth a read. It has not only grown to power over 26% of websites (and growing – they just reached the 25% milestone last November) but is quickly picking up velocity on several other projects.
But why is all this important to the average internet-loving person like you or me? Well here are three reasons.
1. The Open-source nature of WordPress
Open-source software has made great strides in recent years, and WordPress is a great example of one that pulls its community together to get some great work done. This may not seem like it should matter if you are not too technically inclined, but this has some effects.
Firstly, this enables development of the core (and free) product to move at a breakneck pace, with hundreds of volunteers giving their time to work on bug fixes and feature improvements, giving you a better product at the end of the day.
Secondly, because WordPress is open sourced, you always have access to your files and information that you create. This means that if you decide to move your website to another host, you can export your WordPress database files and still have it work.
2. Scale-ability
WordPress now powers more than 26% of the web – including some very notable websites like Time, CNN and Techcrunch. This means that it's been stress-tested in a high traffic production environments. Bundled together with the user friendliness of being able to run WordPress as a single person operation, using WordPress means you have a great deal of flexibility to grow your site as your traffic and requirements grow.
3. The community WordPress enables
Speaking of growing along with your requirements as your site expands, the WordPress community is a great mix of developers, designers and content creators. Because the open WordPress platform allows many of them a livelihood, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to looking for a new theme or plugin to enable new functionality for your site, whether it's a dinner reservation booking system or e-commerce. It is truly an embarrassment of riches as compared to platforms where you are limited to just a few supported partners.
All in all the past 13 years have proven extraordinary for WordPress and with their teenage years getting a headstart with a new suite of desktop apps – we're excited to see what comes next.

This blog post should be entitled "there and back again the unexpected and annoying journey" but I thought it would be too long. As some of you know, my teaching gig is a 4ish hour commute away. Each Wednesday I leave home at 7am, get to campus by 11:30ish, hold office hours and teach for roughly 5 hours, then begin the 4 hour trek back.[1]
This [past] Wednesday, however, the trek took a little bit longer than usual and I didn't make it in to teach my classes. In fact, as I write this, I should be teaching Burke and Herder and Pushkin! I should be watching my undergrads act out scenes from Onegin! Instead, due to a car accident and subsequent highway closure, I'm somewhere on the back roads of Deseronto, Ontario staring at the very long line of trucks ahead.
In *knew* this was going to be a less than stellar trip when I heard "Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! I pooped!" from the toddler sitting a few rows back.
In any case, all this (and my lack of internet access plus the herd of horses I can see frolicking in the snow) inspired me to reflect on travel and journeys in the early modern period. Okay, they probably traveled a lot faster than this bus' current speed, but it was far slower and less comfortable than the level to which we're accustomed. Would a hackney coach be more comfortable? Would an early modern person have made better time on horseback than my bus? Would I die if I appropriated one of these horses and made a dash for it?[2]
These burning questions led me to some interesting finds on travel by coach, by horseback, and on foot.
By Hackney
Hackney coaches and carriages were, essentially, horse-drawn vehicles for hire. They first appeared in London in the early seventeenth century and had, by 1623, gained no small number of customers. John Taylor's 1623 work The World Runnes on Wheeles castigated these coaches for hire as encroaching on the monopoly of his guild – the Company of Watermen. For Taylor, the hackney ushered in all the world's ills. He was very careful, however, to assure readers that "I doe not enveigh against any Coaches that belong to Persons of worth or qualitie, but onely against the Catterpiller swarme of hyrelings; they have undone my poore Trade."
|Title page of Taylor's The World Runnes on Wheeles. Note the not-so-subtle use of the devil.
Coaches "who like the Grashoppers or Caterpillers of Egipt have so over-runne the land, that we can get no living upon the water; for I dare truly affirme that every day in any Tearme (especially if the Court be at Whitehall) they do rob us of our livings, and carry 560 fares daily from us."
Taylor also saw the coach as encouraging poor health in England's gentry and nobility. These, he wrote, "would ride well mounted (and sometimes walke on foot)…Then men preserv'd their bodes strong and able by walking, riding and other manly exercises." Hackney coaches, then, were a detriment to not only his trade, but to the very health of the people!
Samuel Pepys had much to say about his travels by hackney coach. By 1660, hackney coaches were so numerous, that it took a royal proclamation to lower their numbers from over 2000 to 400. Despite this, Pepys noted that it was still quite easy to hire a coach to return home.
Pepys was of two minds with regard to the coaches. They were pretty much a cheap, convenient option that came at the price of his dignity. On Friday, 15 November 1661 he noted that the coach horses were "so tired, that they could not be got to up the hill, though al the street boys and men did beat and whip them."[3] Not only that, he sometimes had to share his hackney with common people![4]
Nevertheless, the coach was convenient when the weather was poor and allowed him to read during the journey.
By the mid-1660s, Pepys saw increasingly the hackneys as inconvenient, lower class, and a vehicle for disease. The plague, it was thought, could be spread by sick passengers and when hackneys were hired as funeral coaches. As Pepys wrote in 1665, the hackney "is become a very dangerous passage now-a-days, the sickness increasing mightily."
By 1667, despite forming a relationship with a hackney coachman who he hired frequently, Pepys was ready to build his own stable, coach-house, and own his very own coach.
"I have a mind to buy enough to build a coach-house and stable; for I have had it much in my thoughts lately that it is not too much for me now, in degree or cost, to keep a coach, but contrarily, that I am almost ashamed to be seen in a hackney, and therefore if I can have the conveniency, I will secure the ground at least till peace comes, that I do receive encouragement to keep a coach, or else that I may part with the ground again."
By Horse
This journey, of just over 95 kilometres or 60 miles, according to Google Maps, should be roughly an hour and a half drive – perhaps 2 hours and 15 minutes in the poor weather conditions Pepys mentioned. Yet, for comparison, it took Pepys and his companion a whole day's journey, plus an overnight rest, and a brief ride the next morning. A dear friend looked at me in horror when I asked what that would be like. Her response was a single word – "chafing."
So, it seems, my decision to not abscond with a horse and ride from Deseronto to Kingston was a good one. At roughly 60 kilometres or 40 miles away in -25 Celsius (-13 F) with high winds, blowing and falling snow, I would likely never have arrived!
Riding, as John Taylor had noted, was a good exercise. By the end of his journey, both Pepys and his horse were likely exhausted. Luckily the early moderns had recipes for that! Nicolas Culpeper recorded that "A good handfull of the hot biting Arsmart put under a Horses Saddle will make him travel the better, although he were half tired before."
|Arsmart or Water Pepper from Elizabeth Blackwell c1739.
Culpeper, it seemed, was not particularly interested in the welfare of the horse. Arsmart or water pepper (persicaria hydropiper) is an irritant that burns skin upon contact. A handful of the herb under a horse's saddle would likely annoy the horse rather than refresh it.
Lodwick Rowzee, a doctor in Kent, also believed that horseback riding was healthy. In 1632, he wrote that after taking the water at Tunbridge, it was best to ride, rather than walk, home. "Sitting upon your horse, the inward parts, as the muskles of the belly, the guttes, and the stomacke it selfe are thereby borne vp and ontracted, and by the jogging of the horse moderately stirred, and so consequently your water will be the better digested."
The century previous, Andrew Boorde warned that horseback riding could be too much exercise:
"Werynes doth come many waies…it may come thorowe ridinge vpon an euyll horse, or syttynge in an euyll sadle and specially whan the horse is galled on the backe, or spore galled, than the horse is as wery of his maistrr, as his maister is wery of him."
Luckily, there was a remedy:
"Fyrst after labour and werynes, ease & rest is the best medicine…and if it do come thorowe ridinge vpon an euyl horse or sadle, lette him neuer ryde in no sadle nor vpon no horse, geldynge nor mare, nor other beest, and he shall neuer be wery nor galled for suche matters."
Such excellent common sense!
On Foot
With horseback and hackney coach out of the question, walking, perhaps, would be safer. Alas, walking had its own dangers as Pepys related on 26 October 1664:
"Going out to find my coach, I could not find it, for it was gone with the rest; so I fair to go through the darke and dirt over the bridge, and my leg fell in a hole broke on the bridge, but, the constable standing there to keep people from it, I was catched up, otherwise I had broke my leg; for which mercy the Lord be praised!"
Thankfully, it seems, this was a colder sort of day or Pepys would have been at risk for gout!
As an anonymous medical treatise stated "And some by much travell on foot in hot eather may have the Gout by reason of a hot distemperature procured unto the feet by overmuch travell and heat." The explanation was that "much walking and travell on foot…draweth a deflux to the feet."
Culpeper and John Pechey both recommended the leaves and bark of the alder tree (much better than the water pepper plant!) for weary walkers. Culpeper wrote that "the Leaves put under the bare feet gauled with travelling are a great refreshing to them." While Pechey recommended that the leaves be put into shoes to ease pain and weariness.
|Alder via Wikipedia Commons
A last travel refreshment tale recorded by John Josselyn:
"The Rattle Snake, who poysons with a Vapour that comes thorough two crooked Fangs in their Mouth; the hollow of these Fangs are as black as Ink: The Indians, when weary with travelling, will take them up with their bare hands, laying hold with one hand behind their Head, with the other taking hold of their Tail, and with their teeth tear off the Skin of their Backs, and feed upon them alive; which they say refresheth them."
Wednesday was a long, long travel day. Alas, the bus – regardless of how long it took – was still superior to the early modern options!
Any tricks to make your travel days more comfortable? If so, let me know here or on twitter! I'm @medhistorian.
[1] Said trek back always involves a pit stop at some terrible fast food restaurant. I deserve it after 8+ hours of travel. 8 hours on a plane could get me to London, UK - this is 8 hours on a combo of bus and subway.
[2] Research unnecessary to answer this latter question. The answer is obviously yes.
[3] Pepys did not seem much affected by the abuse of said horses.
[4] He proudly noted that he did not speak to an "ordinary woman" the whole way to London, but rather read his book as long as he could. Not making eye contact and staring at a book/newspaper/e-reader/phone long before subway travel.

This article is intended to provide a simple demonstration of how easy it is to sniff/intercept traffic on various types of networks, and serve as a warning to utilize secure methods of communication on a) untrusted networks and b) known networks with the potential for untrusted clients or administrators.
The first consideration is the topology of the network we're connected to. To consider 5 common scenarios:
- Wired ethernet hub network: Hubs are becoming more and more obsolete as they are changed to switches. Multiple devices can be connected to a hub, and any data received by the hub from one device is broadcast out to all other devices. This means that all devices receive all network traffic. Not only is this an inefficient use of bandwidth, but each device is trusted to accept traffic destined for itself and to ignore traffic destined for another node. To sniff such a network, a node simply needs to switch it's network interface card to "promiscuous mode", meaning that it accepts all traffic received.
- Wired ethernet switched network: Multiple devices can be connected to a switch, however a switch has greater intelligence than a hub. The switch will inspect the traffic sent on each port, and learn the hardware (MAC) address of the client connected to a particular port. Once learned, the switch will inspect any frames it receives on a port, and forward that frame to the known recipient's port alone. Other devices connected to the switch will not receive traffic that is not destined for them. This offers enhanced bandwidth usage over a hub. Switches rely on ARP packets which are easily forged in order to learn which devices are on which ports.
- Wireless open networks: Multiple devices can connect to an open wireless network. All data is broadcast across the network in plain text, and any attacker can sniff/intercept traffic being broadcast across the network. An open wireless network may present the user with a form of hotspot login page before granting internet access, however this does not detract from the network itself being open.
- WEP encrypted wireless network: A WEP encrypted network requires a WEP key to encrypt and decrypt network traffic. WEP has long been an outdated and insecure method of wireless network protection, and cracking a wireless network's WEP key is fast and requires low skill. WEP is not secure. In addition, all clients connected to the network use the same WEP key to connect. That results in any user on the network with the WEP key being table to view any traffic transmitted to and from other nodes on the network.
- WPA/WPA2 encrypted network: A WPA/WPA2 encrypted network is significantly more secure than a WEP network. Whilst attacks exist on parts of the protocol, and extensions such as WPS, no known attack is able to recover a complex WPA/WPA2 password within an acceptable period of time. Whilst all clients connect to the network with the same password, the protocol is engineered to create different keystreams between each connected client and the access point. This means that simple sniffing in the traditional sense is not possible on the network.
Now to look at some of the network attacks that can be leveraged in the above scenarios:
- Switches maintain a table of MAC addresses, and once this table is full, some switches will revert to hub activity. This allows an attacker to fill the MAC address table with bogus information via spoofed ARP packets, forcing the switch to act as a hub at which point traffic can be sniffed. Another attack involves flooding the switch with ARP packets, claiming that an existing node's MAC address is in fact on the port that we are connected to. This causes traffic originally destined for the legitimate node to be directed to our switch port allowing us to intercept it. This type of attack can be mitigated using "port security", where the switch is either manually configured with allowed MAC addresses on each port, or it is set to learn the first MAC address on the port that it receives and refuse to accept other conflicting ARP packets. ARP spoofing applies to wireless and wired networks equally.
- Most networks are configured to use DHCP which allows each node to dynamically gain its network configuration settings from a server on the fly. Setting up a rogue DHCP server is trivial, most commonly instructing the nodes to use a malicious gateway that intercepts traffic. This type of attack can be mitigated using "DHCP snooping".
- Wireless clients can communicate with each other, and therefore a malicious client can launch attacks against other clients on a wireless network. This type of attack is mitigated by utilizing "client isolation" – this is typically implemented by the access point intercepting ARP requests for other IPs on the network and responding with it's own MAC address. This prevents clients on the network from communicating with each other – they are only permitted to communicate with the access point.
- Although WPA/WPA2 networks prohibit simple sniffing, ARP spoofing is a common technique to intercept traffic on such networks.
It's important to reiterate that "secured" networks such as WPA/WPA2 are only secure for the user as far as they trust other users on the network, and the network operator. For that reason an encrypted VPN tunnel or restricting all traffic to encrypted rather than plaintext protocols is essential.
Let's get into an example: sniffing traffic on a WPA2 network. Unauthorized subversion of traffic on a network is illegal, and so this demonstration was performed on a private test network.
First, we need to connect to the WPA2 network using wpa_supplicant. I created a sample configuration in /etc/wpa_supplicant/test_network.conf containing my network name and PSK (password). wpa_supplicant has a number of configuration options. The most simple configuration is as follows:
network={ ssid="test_wifi" psk="sup3r$3cr3tP@ssW0rD#!" }
Now, to connect to the network:
# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/test_network.conf
Once connected, I gain an IP address using dhclient:
# dhclient wlan0
I'm assigned an IP of 192.168.2.120/24 with a gateway of 192.168.2.1. Running tcpdump -i wlan0 -n shows sporadic network broadcasts, but nothing of interest. This makes sense, as per the above explanation all connected clients are communicating with the access point using different keys and therefore I am unable to decrypt their traffic. Instead, if I use ARP spoofing to claim the MAC address currently assigned to the router (192.168.2.1), clients will begin routing their internet bound traffic to my node. Before doing so, I will need to enable IP forwarding, allowing my node to forward the clients traffic out to the legitimate gateway, allowing them to continue accessing the internet:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # arpspoof -i wlan0 192.168.2.1
arpspoof immediately begins sending ARP packets to the network, instructing nodes that the router 192.168.2.1 is found at the MAC address of my own wireless adapter wlan0.
Let's now use tcpdump again to view any HTTP traffic on the network in ASCII format:
# tcpdump -i wlan0 -n -s 1500 -A tcp port 80
tcpdump soon begins providing output:
21:47:09.699770 IP 192.168.2.138.53322 > 22.214.171.124.80: Flags [P.], seq 0:1243, ack 1, win 229, options [nop,nop,TS val 11685115 ecr 2023438326], length 1243 E.....@.?.......J}.j.J.Pi=.=.........z..... ..L.x.7.GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://www.google.com/ User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.1.2; en-gb; GT-I8160 Build/JZO54K) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Language: en-GB, en-US Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1, utf-16, *;q=0.7 Accept: */* Cookie: SID=PTDDDCEBAAB6MKOSEFJolaj8Cuh7lQoJ10TjxIOTd2ekS6blnoAOtdt4q11yArTcyQdluS_56mKZRBDY45AUFnlXwUVytp4F5cj5GlRxMTb2ZoZiPfruVp0CA5_j7T294Ncakx5ymzmN8lTaj8m8EFNGFOOLtgE69YnnlJpYnFWMQqTE8Ux_3kkRQbzjMsJmXmWDQHlQ_a5JENcz7J9ttDq30FhgZYFu7aQItP5m965jrA_WBbTot0jUdZnUov2Wy9Ph0TCAPeTc4lXLYvCSD6Ymzvnw-9F5wrUBovQjiRADmHEuX9V8V9M0LyhyqAI_Cmw_jWVh0SQNpINbnW0oGmMsTUwhLb3BZoJgoGN-O5OTYbfmGRFVyhCLK2i6L2gcxNKCToCA0zWzKBSZjzZi_G7bX2Sqjy6k; HSID=ANi1GHnDIS9IjCj2s; APISID=jB_NbBrcih9k50kY/Ae-busQdQ82QWJWTo; PREF=ID=2BE55a438f68ebb4:U=ce7b384a9ae16929:FF=0:LD=en:TM=1411032446:LM=1411595388:S=bePFJjWQuBb51peq; NID=67=H1W_AjsPoXfHMEWGtLYQM9trpjiQDU2Rp2TPwn9sv6xsMoDmHPdHyO1DvB8WHQGmcDgtpZPa_Ydm5Mb6inwalLc5Gct7N5XnzTFNtk9-9wGCxQC-kmkRR6aQZnHwFRjHOrqkeqNNUUR3MZ160YPSw0gjRkuM4domcv_XJY0LnEAjB20d4rWUHQvien4wPYME0CX5 If-Modified-Since: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:19:23 GMT
We can see that we've caught an HTTP request to google.com, including the full cookie data. An attacker could then hijack and replay that cookie to impersonate our session.
It's easier to view and filter traffic visually using Wireshark:
Wireshark has been started and is listening on wlan0 whilst arpspoof continues to run. I've set a filter of http.host contains "google.com" to show HTTP traffic where the Host header matches google.com.
Now to view the stream, we right click on a packet and click "Follow TCP Stream":
Wireshark now presents us with the entire TCP conversation. Different filters can be set to filter out IMAP or POP3 traffic for example. This attack was conducted on a WPA2 network using ARP spoofing, and can be easily applied to the other network scenarios described above unless adequate precautions are taken.
More advanced attack options
Firesheep is a browser plugin that demonstrates HTTP session hijacking and highlights the insecurities of using unencrypted protocols on open networks.
The scenario above can be extended by using iptables to redirect outbound traffic through application proxies running on our malicious host. sslstrip by Moxie Marlinspike acts as an HTTP proxy server that parses HTML and converts any HTTPS links to HTTP – its intention is to force unaware users to browse HTTP versions of sites rather than the encrypted HTTPS version. iptables would be used to redirect outbound traffic through sslstrip
Fake local services could be run and have traffic redirected through them in the same way as sslstrip above to present users with fake inboxes and email scenarios for example.
Lastly, an intercepting HTTPS server could be utilized that generated fake, self-signed certificates given the host name being requested. Users on the network would be presented with an SSL warning indicating that the certificate was not signed by a trusted CA, however many users would blindly accept and continue, not understanding the implications of the warning and simply wanting to access the desired remote site.
The best advice for staying secure on untrusted networks is a) using an encrypted VPN tunnel to a trusted remote host with both client and server side validation, and b) using encrypted protocols such as HTTPS, IMAPS, POP3S and SMTPS. It's crucial not to accept SSL warnings without a thorough understanding of the situation and why the message has arisen.

Who is sexy? Who is sexual? Who is sexually desirable? Who is sexually vibrant?
Are the people that society designates "beautiful" really sexier or more sexual than the people who get labeled "plain"?
What about older people, heavier people? What about people with disabilities? Are these people fully sexual human beings even though they don't show up in movies, on tv, or in advertising? What happens to all of us when we write off huge sections of the population as non-sexual or sexually undesirable?
These are some of the questions addressed in Sins Invalid: An Unashamed Claim to Beauty in the Face of Invisibility, whose fourth annual multi-media presentation is being performed this coming weekend at the Brava Theater.
Most specifically, Sins Invalid is about the sexuality of people with physical disabilities — an opportunity for people with disabilities to affirm and celebrate the vibrancy of their sexuality through performance art, theater, film, dance, song, and the spoken word. The cabaret-style performances in Sins Invalid range from mild to graphic, from tender to passionate, from the gentle spoken word to a sexually explicit depiction of a scene involving loving dominance and submission.
"The theme of this year's show is the magic of embodiment," says Patty Berne, artistic director of Sins Invalid, "the magic of all life and the spirit incarnate." The 12 artists in Sins Invalid all possess disabilities, some quite apparent, others less so, such as deafness and environmental illness and injuries. "Each of these artists is in a non-normative body," Berne notes, "and each is a miraculous, sexual being."
Sins Invalid was founded in 2006 by Patty Berne and Leroy Moore, two Bay Area activists with disabilities who were frustrated with the propensity of many to view people with disabilities as asexual, deviant, or undesirable. "We wanted to address the disconnect between what we know to be true about our beauty and what the world seems to believe — that we are 'less than,' undesirable and pitiable," Berne explains.
But Sins Invalid is more than a statement about sex and disability, going beyond the specific issue of discounting the sexuality of people with disabilities to challenge a whole range of conventional notions about what is normal, what is beautiful, and what is sexy. In place of the familiar notion that sex, beauty and desirability are limited to people who are young, thin, and physically agile, Sins Invalid offers "a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities," an affirmation that we are all sexual, all sexy, all attractive, regardless of age, body form, or skin color.
What makes Sins Invalid so powerful is that it thoroughly succeeds artistically and erotically, separate from the impact of its political message. Sins Invalid challenges its audience to think about sexuality, beauty, and disability in new and expanded ways. But Sins Invalid is also, quite simply, a hot, arousing, sexually charged evening of thought-provoking, imaginative sexual entertainment that only happens to be entirely by and about people with disabilities.
Mat Fraser, a celebrated disabled performer from Great Britain offers "No Retreat, No Surrender," an athletic performance piece using martial arts, and "Beautiful Freak," a tender cleansing ritual. Antoine-DeVinci Hunter, an accomplished deaf choreographer/dancer, asks the audience to share the element of risk he faces every day as a deaf person by rolling a die, each side of which corresponds to a different sound score.
In "The Scene," Leroy Moore, seeley quest, Ralph Dickinson and Patty Berne enact a sexual encounter in which a dominatrix conducts an erotic medical procedure, captured on live video feed integrated with surreal images. Nomy Lamm offers two rock-opera pieces involving a "nest of legs" comprised of the prosthetic limbs that she has worn since she was a child. Spoken word pieces are offered by Leah Lakshmi ("Dirty River Girl"), Maria Palacios ("The Hunger" and "Vagina Manifesto"), and Aurora Levins Morales.
Sins Invalid will be performed at Brava Theater, 2789 24th Street (at York), San Francisco, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 2, 3, and 4, Friday and Saturday shows at 8:00, Sunday at 7:00. All shows are wheelchair accessible and ASL interpreted. Tickets are $15-25, sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds), available from brownpapertickets.com, or at the door.

Insurance & Vehicles
When your teen is ready to hit the road alone, make sure your auto insurance policy is ready, too. Most families add their teen to the family policy. You also might want to do some comparison shopping to see if you could improve savings, coverage or service for your insured property.
Three Things to Consider
- Finances: Can you and your teen afford the cost of car insurance, gas and maintenance? Who will pay for the car? Have you found a safe car that fits your family budget?
- Readiness: Has your teen demonstrated safe, responsible driving behavior and driven alone for at least six months without a crash or ticket? Before handing over the keys, make sure you are using a parent-teen driving agreement and are satisfied that your teen has been driving successfully without you.
- Involvement: Is your teen ready to own, operate and maintain a car? Involving your teen in the purchase process can be a great learning experience regarding costs and responsibilities of car ownership.
Insurance Requirements in Arizona
All Arizona drivers are required to have auto insurance at the minimum levels of $15,000 per person for bodily injury, $30,000 per accident for bodily injury and $10,000 for property damage (15/30/10).
While these minimum levels comply with statute, AAA believes they are insufficient for real-world driving. AAA's agents can give you advice on available coverage limits (up to $1 million per person, per accident and property damage through AAA) and craft a policy that meets your needs, as long as it complies with state statute. The majority of members with AAA insurance carry at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident, or higher.
Saving Money on Insurance
Because the risk of a crash is significantly higher for young drivers, particularly during the first year of driving, it shouldn't surprise you if your teen's auto insurance rate is higher than your own. Here are a few strategies to help reduce teen driver auto insurance costs.
|Saving money on car insurance
|Good report card = lower costs. Many insurers offer discounts for students with a "B" or higher grade average and for teens who complete driver's education or defensive driving courses.
|Share vehicles. How you classify your new driver - the main or an occasional driver of one vehicle, for example, will affect insurance premiums, so consider sharing vehicles.
|Car choice can save money. The kind of car your teen drivers can impact safety, as well as insurance costs. Many experts agree that mid-sized sedans are the best choice for teens. Small cars don't offer as much protection in crashes, sporty cars may encourage speeding or recklessness, and SUVs and pick-up trucks are more difficult to maneuver and more likely to roll over. Check with your insurance agent about rates before you buy a car.
|Consider raising your deductible. Ask your insurance agent how much you could ave by increasing your deductible on one or all of your vehicles. If you file a claim after raising your deductible, you'll pay a larger share of the costs, but the savings might be worth it.
|Keep practicing together. Continue to drive with your teen under new and challenging conditions so there won't be surprises (and potential crashes) when you're not in the passenger seat to help out.
|Be involved. Research shows that teens with more involved parents get fewer tickets and engage in less risky driving. Avoiding tickets and crashes will help keep your insurance rates down. A parent-teen driving agreement can help you set rules.

When done cleverly and strategically, rebranding your business has untold benefits. However, the risks of rebranding certainly run high. One of the biggest dangers is alienating your current audience. So how do you rebrand without losing any of your followers or customers in the process?
These are the things we were very careful with when rebranding our online parenting community from eumom to everymum:
Finding the right name
Never make any rebranding decisions without asking for actual input from your audience. Test new name and logo options with them to find out which they prefer.
Promoting your rebrand
It's not wise to suddenly showcase a rebrand without any warning or lead up for your audience. Give them plenty of time to become familiar and comfortable with the rebrand before the change is fully implemented, and do it often. The art of surprise can actually cause confusion and mistrust.
This can include a newsletter, blog posts, consistent social media teasers, and glimpses behind the scenes. Consider the best cross platform promotion based on where and when you reach your audience the most
Reward your audience
Tell your audience just how much you love and value them with exclusive offers, competitions, prizes and giveaways in the lead up to the rebrand and throughout the early stages after the launch. Motivate them to celebrate the rebrand with you.
Explain the decision to rebrand
It's very important to show your audience that the core values of your business aren't changing, and it's equally as important to explain to them why the rebrand is happening, and how your business came to the decision.
It's vital to let your audience know that the decision was built around them and their needs – they are the reason your business is what it is, after all.
Launch your rebrand with a bang
Remember to have some fun with it all! Organise a fantastic launch party to really welcome your rebrand into the world, and be sure to post loads of photos of the happy event on social media for all your audience to enjoy!
Consider the impact of the rebrand on your search traffic. You'll need to work out a strategy for URL redirecting if changing your brand name and therefore your domain name. Without doing this, you run the risk of losing all your organic traffic overnight.
Logo and brand design
Time and effort will need to go into creating a new logo and brand design. This is how your audience recognises you. So, you want to create some sense of familiarity with your logo and design, without looking like nothing was actually refreshed.
It's extremely important you also create a strategy to inform and make sure that anywhere else your brand or logo appears, be it third party sites like retailers, also launches your new branding.
Of course, depending on the nature of your business there will be other steps which you should consider.
But with the right strategic thinking and processes it is possible to successfully rebrand without losing your audience.
By rebranding eumom to everymum, we successfully retained our audience numbers, social engagement and community loyalty.
And more than this:
– 30% increase in page views to the everymum website
– 42% increase in Instagram followers
– Awarded Best in Social Media for everymum rebrand at the 2018 Irish Magazine Awards
If you're hoping to rebrand talk to Zahra Media Group about how to achieve this while growing your audience.

Christian Boldness in an Age of ToleranceGenesis 18:16-33
There is a new, dark definition of tolerance emerging in our world. Josh McDowell argues that toleration has replaced justice as the primary American virtue. Tolerance today means that every view of truth and morality is equal to every other view. This view of toleration differs from the classic view in that it says that there is no such thing as absolute truth. How should we respond?

The recent controversy over the Exalt 95 banners has less to do with religious issues than with the absence of a clearly-defined policy regarding who can hang banners on the viaducts.

The big move was on Saturday. It was a long, stressful painful, process, and I'm so traumatized by it that I don't yet feel excited by the fact that we have done it.
When the movers arrived at 8am, they didn't inspire much confidence. There were only two of them, not three as promised. One was a scrawny teenager, the other an elderly man whom I thought at first was just the teenager's dad or chauffeur. A third mover showed up an hour into the job, another scrawny teenager who wore an iPod the whole time and sang out loud while carrying things up and down our steps. About 45 minutes later he mysteriously disappeared, and we were told he had left for a "doctor's appointment." On a Saturday.
Actually, the other two turned out to be really nice, respectful, efficient guys, despite their odd couple appearance.
Nick had to be at work at 1pm, which meant he had to leave the house at about 12:30. Even though the movers were doing the heavy lifting, we were doing a lot of packing/organizing/tossing at the same time, which made it feel like we were in some sort of race. (This despite the fact that we'd been packing at night throughout the week, including the entire day before, and that we'd been up since 5am that morning.) By the time noon rolled around, there appeared to be just a few dribs and drabs of stuff left scattered about the house. We both thought I'd get it all together with a few more trips to my car and be done by 1:00. At the latest.
Not so fast. By the time I rounded up the last of the moving detritus–brooms, dust pan, packing tape guns, some pretty ceramic wall hooks I had to unscrew from the wall, but first had to borrow a screwdriver from the neighbor downstairs, who was also moving in that day, and oh, shit, did we forget about all the food in the fridge? and that we needed to clean the fridge?–by the time all of this was under control, it was 4pm.
To compound the amount of stress and angst I was feeling, the new tenants started moving their stuff in much earlier than we had anticipated, like at 1:30, not 4 or so. When I got back to the apartment after supervising the first round of unloading at the new house, the new tenant was standing there with a box in her hand while giving me dagger eyes, for what I did not know, seeing as how we'd met the day before and seemed to hit it off–we'd both lived in Brooklyn before moving to Portland, etc. I guess she and her husband did not expect to find some of our stuff still there, or our two cats, so with Thumbs mewling in her carrying case and Wiley hiding somewhere upstairs, I frantically scrubbed the fridge and tossed leftovers left and right into a garbage bag.
At this point I was feeling completely agitated, overwhelmed, and filled with despair that I would EVER get out of this apartment and be able to find anything again in the new house. Miraculously, midway through all of this my mom showed up with Sadie. I have never been so glad to see my mom in all my life. She took charge, vacuumed, cleaned stuff, and basically gave me hope that the move would be complete in my lifetime. I was also glad to see Sadie, who'd slept at my mom's the night before in her first overnight away from me and Nick, ever!
When I was finally, officially done with my part, there was only one thing left to do: find and move Wiley. Thumbs was already contained in the cat carrier, so I brought her out to my car. My plan was to drop her off at the new house then come back for Wiley, but with the new tenants coming in and out and leaving the door open, I decided against leaving Wiley there by himself. So I picked him up and we walked outside. Unfortunately, two other sets of couples were also moving into our building that day, and there was mass confusion in our driveway, with lots of people milling about, and, of course, a dog.
Wiley saw the dog, freaked out, and jumped off of me so hard that he actually left bruises under bloody claw marks on my neck, shoulder, and torso. It looked like I had a vampire bite on my neck, which was fitting, since it was Halloween, after all.
He ran around the building but I caught him on the other side, getting him into my car along with randomly strewn coats, pots, shoes and brooms, as well as Thumbelina and Ting-Tong. But when we got to the new house, he escaped out the hatchback as soon as I opened it. I caught him, then wrangled him into the house for a brief moment before he darted out the door again, over towards neighbor Ben's house, and then into the neighborhood. We haven't seen him since. It's been three days. Two people now have claimed to have seen him (Tony, the painter, and George, the excavator) but we haven't yet caught sight of him.
Overall, the move was a trying, stressful ordeal, and right now I sort of feel like a mother who has given birth and then rejected her child. The house lacks running water, it's a mess, it has wet primer paint in some rooms, and I don't know where anything is. Luckily, we're able to stay at my mom's condo for now, because getting this house in livable condition is going to take all our extra time and energy, of which we don't have a lot right now.

Loosecubes shuts down after raising $7.8 million in June
Loosecubes, the New York-based co-working startup, will shut down its operations, according to a cryptic blog post on its site. In June, the company raised $7.8 million in venture backing from New Enterprise Associates, Accel Partners, Battery Ventures, Hamilton Investment Partners, Revolution on top of a $1.23 million round in 2010.
The company's aim was to become the "Airbnb of office space." With 16 employees, it's hard to imagine Loosecubes burned through that cash in five months. Operations end on Friday.
Co-founders Campbell McKellar and Anna Thomas gave no hint as to why the company is shutting down in their blog post:
The past two and a half years have been such an incredible journey. From a team of two to an incredible company of 16. From a big idea to a community of 25,000+ Loosecubers in over 60 countries around the world. And from a single coworking space to thousands of hosts, from Stockholm to San Diego, who have opened their work environments and minds to a better way of working.McKellar's cell phone was off and email auto-responded directing me to Thomas, who didn't respond to my attempts to contact. I'd spoken to McKellar in July, when she hired Greg Whalin of Meetup.com as CTO. At the time, she noted that Loosecubes had 23 competitors, but only two that had gotten a large round of funding and none were taking the social angle Loosecubes was focused on.
She's right that co-working is a crowded place for startups. The biggest competitor, Liquidspace, has business centers and pay-by-hour conference rooms rather than shared by-the-day desks; it has a comparable number of host offices with a few more cities and users. German competitor Deskwanted is also growing rapidly.
I'll update if I hear anything back from the company or its investors...

@Sunil, you can start a manufacturing business but you need to figure out what to start. It is very different than trading because you can close a trading business any time but not a manufacturing plant. If you start one then you need to figure out where is your market local/international. If it is local then do some market survey, if it is international then try to find some buyers upfront and look for possible opportunities before you even put your first stone.

There are the trend of growing blogs and bloggers reached at very higher level.Every internet users either internet savvy or normal users maximum want to become blogger as it is the way to express own thoughts towards the world.However a few blogs and bloggers become success in their targets.It is become more hard to find useful and informative blogs now this days.
7 key factors have used to determine the top blogs :
Today I am going to determining factors of the blogs parameter as how useful those blogs are and what says the internet para-metering tools.Let see into the 7 key factors have used to determine the top blogs in the virtual world of the internet.
1. Facebook Fans:-
At a time when the influence of social media is at its peak,we simply can't ignore the importance of being affiliated to the two most powerful social media platform in the world, Unfortunately,some of the blogs were missing a Facebook group page- a grave mistake by our measure.A score of 0 has been given to the blogs who didn't care to open a Facebook group or post the link of the group on its website in case it has one.And no,an invitation to join the friends list of the site owner doesn't count in this case.
2. Twitter Followers:-
Micro blogging social platform twitter has become one of the most popular social media in the world.So it is easy to find out how many people follow the blog as the blog feeds will appear on their time line which bags a lots of visitors towards the blog.So it is a factor of parameter of blog.
3. Alexa Rank:-
In an effort to correctly evaluate the popularity of the blogs,we have decided to include the Alexa ranking of the blogs in any study.Since the study is based on finding the top tech blogs in any where in the world,it is needed to include the Alexa rank in particular region as a separate parameter.
4. Compete Rank:-
Since a major portion of the visitors are from U.S.,we have included the Compete rank of the sites as another parameter.Those who don't have a site profile in Compete were given a 0 rating.
5. Popular articles in Digg & Stubleupon:-
With the increasing popularity of digg.com & stumbleupon.com,it is found it hard to resist a parameter where it includes the number of articles that have earned the distinction of being'Made Popular'in Digg & stumbleupon.
6.Google Indexed Pages and Inbound Links:-
Since there is no way we can exclude the crucial influence of Google in our ranking system,it has been taken the statistics for the Google indexed pages and Google inbound links for the sites.This is how it is done-For finding out the number of Google indexed pages for a particular site,go to the Google page and type"site:<sitename>"in the search bar.You shall get the results.Similarly,for getting the Google links,type"link:<sitename>".
7.Yahoo/Bing Indexed pages and Inbound Links:-
If Google comes first,can Yahoo be left far behind which packed with MSN's Bing?Rhetorical question,totally.You can use this link to find out the number of Yahoo indexed pages and Yahoo inbound links.
These are the 7 evaluation parameters that we have used for our calculation. The websites hosted directly on free domains like wordpress,blogger or other blog publishing platform normally have been excluded from this parameter system.The reason for this being that sites like Alexa provide the statistics for any blog at domain level.It is not possible to obtain the statistics at sub-domain level.Any one can get data from websitegrader for extracting the data for each blog.However,some time it make you disappointment ,this site was showing marked inconsistency in fetching the proper data for every site.Official Bing blog community says that the link command has been deactivated partially for over a year so clear data can not get from that.
