First there was an unsuccessful attempt to name an airport after Ozzy Osbourne in his hometown of Birmingham in England. Now an Australian woman has launched a campaign to have Ozzy knighted.
First of all, it's not so unusual for an Aussie to be concerned with such matters, since Australia is part of the Commonwealth and therefore under the dominion of the Queen, who would be conferring the honor upon Osbourne should the petition reach receptive royal ears. Secondly, Ozzy is set to visit the antipodes in June when Black Sabbath plays their first shows on Australian soil since the 1970s. So maybe the founder of the petition, Helen Maidotis, is hoping for an audience with the prospective Sir Osbourne to discuss the campaign.
"Ozzy has been an inspiration to many great musicians over the last 40 years," Maidiotis says. "He has taken a lot of young musicians under his wing along the way, from the late and great Randy Rhoads to Zakk Wylde and many others. He is a credit to his country and I believe that a knighthood for Ozzy is one well deserved and long overdue."
At time of publication the petition had 201 signatures. You can follow the petition's progress at Causes.com, Ozzy Osbourne for a Knighthood and its official Facebook page, The Knighthood Of Ozz.

Wer war/ist Red Sovine ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD und mehr
Red Sovine
Geb. 17. 7. 1918 in Charleston - West Virginia
Gest. 4. 4. 1980 in Nashville - Tennessee
Record Labels: Decca, MCA, Starday, Nashville, Metro, Chart, Gusto, Bulldog
Erster Hit: Dream House For Sale (1964)
Erster No. 1 Hit: Giddyup Go (1965)
Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine, der "King Of Trucker Songs And Narrations", begann bei WCHS in Charleston - West Virginia, kam zum WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling und ersetzte zusammen mit seiner Band Hank Williams, als dieser am 3. 6. 1949 die Louisiana Hayride Show in Shreveport verließ. Dort traf Red Sovine auf Webb Pierce, mit dem er ein paar erfolgreiche Duettaufnahmen einspielte. Als Solo-Interpret kam Red Sovine jedoch erst Mitte der 60er Jahre groß heraus, als er mit den Trucker-Stories "Giddyup Go" und "Phantom 309" sich der Truckdriving-Song-Welle anschloss. Auch der Erfolg von "Teddy Bear" geht auf sein Konto. Am 4. April 1980 fiel Red Sovine in Nashville einem Verkehrsunfall zum Opfer."
Woodrow Wilson Sovine was born in Charleston, West Virginia on July 17, 1918. With his head full of red hair, he was destined to receive the most common nickname assigned to carrot tops. His father, Alonzo Sovine, was a steam engineer, specifically on large construction machinery. While still a lucrative profession at the time of his little Woodrow's birth, the spread of gasoline and diesel powered machinery soon resulted in hard times for the Sovine family.
Red's mother, Rebecca West Sovine, played the harmonica and concertina but never pursued music professionally. She taught Red and his siblings many older hymns and 19th Century popular songs. She also shared a love for the early recordings of Jimmie Rodgers and Jimmie Davis.
The young Red was also influenced by his mother's first cousin, Billy Cox. Known as the 'Dixie Songbird,' Cox appeared regularly on Charleston, West Virginia. radio station WOBU (later WCHS) in 1928 and made his first recordings for the Gennett label one year later. Cox became very successful in the early thirties, recording for A.R.C. and Columbia records with his most notable compositions, Sparkling Brown Eyes and Filipino Baby.
Cox often took his young cousin Red to the radio station or to live appearances in the nearby area. With such frequent exposure to music and the behind-the-scenes workings, there was little surprise that Red soon wanted his own guitar. As Red told Douglas B. Green in a 1975 interview, "I was twelve years old when I told my father I wanted a guitar, He said, 'Well, if you'll show me that you really want to learn to play it,' he said, 'I'll buy you one.' So I had a friend of mine that used to come to the house and show me some chords. I learned three chords, and I went and showed my dad, and he bought me a guitar, one of them with the resonator on the front…Paid twelve dollars for it." Red immediately began acting out his own pretend 'radio' shows in the family barn – performing songs, reading the news and commercials, and practicing jokes.
By 1934 or 1935 Red had performed enough pretend shows that he felt ready to become a professional musician. Hooking up with his boyhood friend, Johnnie Bailes, the pair began billing themselves as Smiley and Red, the Singing Sailors. Bailes was from a musical family and already had experience appearing on radio station WCHS in Charleston and performing in churches with his two younger brothers as the Bailes Brothers Hymn Singers. But 'Smiley & Red' focused primarily on Jimmie Rodgers songs and other popular tunes. They performed at church socials, parties, dances and won $15 at a department store-sponsored talent show in Charleston – which they managed to waste in one evening.
The partnership was short-lived, however, when Red's family moved the thirty or so miles upriver to the recently built community of Eleanor, West Virginia. Constructed in 1934, the town of Eleanor was a New Deal homestead community. These communities were constructed by the Federal government to provide housing and subsistence farming land to poor families, along with incentives for rural industrial initiatives that reinvested in the local community.

If man is made in the image of god, then god must have a penis. Question is, what the hell does he do with it???
Hey Devon,
This is a special day. So hope you can join us.
"CFI-Harlem/Harlem Humanists will be gathering on Sunday February 26th to celebrate Day of Solidarity for Black Non-believers. This is a time to get together and enjoy bright minds and warm personalities. There's a noble story of freethought from within the African American and Pan-African tradition. This is a chance to connect with this tradition and each other. We'll begin at 1pm. The place is 583 Riverside Dr. in the "Brick Room". It's free. Just e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call (646-820-CFIH) for all the details." RSVP, if you can
See you there.
I feel you- it seems like Caribbean Blacks are deeper into religion, especially christianity, than American Blacks. If that is accurate, I'm sure there's a reason for it; it's actually an interesting topic to began researching in my spare time.
This website is incredibly refreshing. I could be up here chiming in on threads and acquiring knowledge ALL day. I couldn't have found it during a better time too, as I am soooo disappointed in how superficial and shallow this world has become. Up here, everyone is free to be as opinionated and intellectual as they want to be.

ROBOTC 3.50 Now Available!
The ROBOTC Development team is proud to announce that ROBOTC 3.50 for the LEGO Mindstorms, VEX Cortex and PIC, Arduino, and Robot Virtual World platforms is now available! The new ROBOTC 3.50 update is free-of-charge for ALL existing ROBOTC 3.0 license holders. Download today and try out all of the new features and enhancements available in ROBOTC 3.50!
Change log for ROBOTC 3.50 (since version 3.08):
- Full ANSI-C support to support pointers, recursion, and stacks with an updated compiler and updated robot firmware.
- New and Updated Debugger Windows:
- "Local Variables" to monitor variables in the current task or function.
- (Note: Local variables are only available when your program is suspended)
- "Global Variables" to monitor variables available to your entire program.
- "Call Stacks" to monitor function calls in the currently selected task.
- Updated Documentation and Wiki (www.robotc.net/wiki) – Constantly Updating!
- Support for Standard C commands – sprintf(), sscanf(), support for character arrays, unsigned variables, etc.
- Support for the Arduino family of controllers (Uno, Mega, Mega 2560) with future support and expanded functionality for the Arduino Leonardo and Due controllers.
- Updated Robot Virtual Worlds support to include additional sensors and motors.
- Improved Robot Virtual Worlds performance to simulate more realistic physics and robot behaviors.
- Support for the new MATRIX building system with the NXT.
Robot Specific Fixes:
- NXT I2C sensors were incorrectly initializing clock and data lines as outputs when first configuration. They were correctly left as inputs after first message was sent. Change was to initialize as inputs. Before change, the first I2C message on an empty port will incorrectly appear to succeed.
- Ignore HiTechnic Textrix Motor Controller spurious encoder counts. I.E. if encoder value read is hex 'FF80xxxx' then force a reread. Always accept the re-read value.
- Eliminate Z-Axis from VEX joystick window as is unused.
- Arduino boards now support controlling LEDs from PWM pins.
- Arduino boards now will read zero when connecting analog to ground.
Interface Updates/Fixes:
- Add "Show Current Program Counter" button to Debugger.
- Add new template for "New File". All new programs will start with a task main structure. This template can be modified by the user (it lives in /Sample Programs/Platform/Templates)
- Always force "Save As" for all template files. Before the files were being saved in a default directory.
- Allow any serial port to be used with VEX PIC systems.
- Allow user entered blank (empty) lines before first "#pragma config(" lines. Currently generates a compiler error.
- Improve placement of related compiler generated errors to appropriate line numbers.
- Fix bug where "Motors and Sensors Setup" did not work on empty files.
- Properly restore floating "Debugger Panes" when Debugger is invoked.
- Changed Checkmarks to Radio Icons for many menu items. This shows a "dot" instead of a "check mark" in the menu icon field.
- Created tooltip strings in resource file for all missing commands.
- Prepare to add two new Debugger panes to display "Breakpoints" and "Bookmarks". Based on the existing "Compiler Errors" pane architecture. The new panes are displayed but the content is still empty.
- Better synchronization of breakpoints between "Source File" and "Disassembly Listing". Previously when breakpoint was added/removed in one window the corresponding change was not properly made in the other window. Now the breakpoint ICONs are always refreshed whenever a window is "Activated" (i.e. made topmost).
- Add two new menu commands for "increase indent" and "decrease indent".
- Tweak "auto close breakpoint hit" message box implementation. Add a check mark to the dialog.
- Add new "Compile OR Compile+Download" toolbar.
- Debug "Task Status" window — minor enhancements.
- FONT name was not being updated in Preferences "Font" tab correctly. Fixed.
Compiler and Command Updates/Fixes:
- Pointer support. New functions positioning for improvements in the dereference ("*") and address of ("&") unary operators.
- New "#pragma debugWindows(…)" to specify a list of Debugger Windows that should be opened.
- Add new intrinsic function "DebugStreamClear" to allow programs on robot to clear the debug stream.
- Support for "Implied Pointers" in functions.
- Fixed compiler priority for binary and unary versions of '&', '*', '+' and '-' operators.
- Support for unsigned longs.
- Add new intrinsic function for "round".
- Added support for 'atan2′.
- Allow 'struct' pointers as valid function return types.
- Fix issue in 'struct' declaration causing a random memory overwrite in ROBOTC IDE.
- Support pointer variables for '++' and '–'.
- 'sizeof' operator now accepts argument types of 'char', 'short', 'long', 'float', …
- Fix bug in evaluating "complicated" / compound constant expressions in "#if".
- Add support for '%p' format code in 'sprintf'.
- Improve code generation for pointer references to 'struct'.
- Added doubly nested '->' operator.
- Fixed bug in unary '-' VM opcode.
- Improve code generation for structure element access.
- Fix implementation of structure element access code generation; i.e. the "." operator.
- Partially re-implement "sizeof" operator for proper calculation of 'pointer' and 'reference' variables.
- Add "drop down toolbar button" to "Compile and Download" toolbar to select "Download + Compile" or "Compile" only; vs two separate buttons.
- Add partial support for new download "write to RAM" message. Needed for new "local variables" window.
- Add support for new "trinary opcodes" (+, – and *) with 'long' operands. Previously trinary opcodes were for 'short' variables. Trinary opcodes are primarily used for efficient code generation for array and structure element access.
- Added definition for new "NoOp" command.

Get to Work
The blog that helps you find, get and keep a job
Sites like Elance.com, Guru.com and oDesk.com allow employers to hire freelancers or contractors anywhere in the world, putting U.S. workers in competition with a global labor pool.
Based on a survey of 500 employers, Elance says small- to medium-size U.S. businesses are sending more project work online. Among other survey results:
-- 86 percent of respondents told Elance they have hired online in the past 12 months, versus 32 percent that have hired on-site employees during the same period.
-- 64 percent of respondents say they will use a hybrid model of online and traditional on-site hiring as the economy improves.
The self-selected survey should be considered anecdotal, but there's no reason to doubt the underlying trend - that employers are using many means, including online contractors, to reduce on-site hires.
Meanwhile, oDesk has unveiled a program to help online contractors in the United States get health insurance. Its new health benefits program allows oDesk workers to buy individual policies at more favorable rates and terms than generally available outside of employer-provided group health plans.

Migrant workers sent $6.77 billion home to Bangladesh in July-December, down 8.41% from the same time a year ago. For the first time in recent memory, Bangladesh has experienced a decline in remittances in the first half of the fiscal year.
There are four factors that can potentially account for the decline in remittances: the stock of Bangladeshi migrants abroad, earnings per migrant worker, their average propensity to save, and their average propensity to remit money home out of those savings.
The standard refrain appears to be that the flow of remittance has declined because the stock of Bangladeshi migrants abroad is not growing like it used to. This is because of two reasons. First, Bangladesh is failing to send more workers abroad to traditional markets and exploring new markets. Only 450,000 migrants managed oversees jobs in 2013, down by more than 33% from 680,000 in 2012. Second, the number of migrant workers returning to Bangladesh has also increased because the government could not resolve problems related to the legal status of Bangladeshi migrant labors in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait through diplomatic channels. Unfortunately, there is no reliable time series on the annual number of migrant returnees from abroad.
Is that the full story? I doubt it although it is generally assumed that the current migrant workers are sending money home as per their maximum capacities and have little capacity to increase the flow.
There may have been a decline in their capacity to remit because of decline in earnings per migrant worker or decline in the propensity to save or decline in the propensity to remit out of their saving or a combination of all these factors.
Average earnings may have declined because of increased unemployment and/or decreased wages of illegal migrants in GCC countries in particular as the authorities tightened enforcement of regulation against illegal migrants.
With increased unemployment and/or lower wages, the propensity to save may have decreased because of ratchet effects on consumption. Conventionally, if income falls, then consumption should fall proportionally, but this does not necessarily happen because once consumption habits are acquired, it is hard to get rid of them. Certain consumption habits are formed at high income levels which are not completely abandoned when income falls. This effect is particularly strong when the income decline is perceived to be temporary.
The propensity to remit may also have declined because of the appreciation of taka against US dollar in 2013 and increase in transaction costs due to incessant political turmoil. Taka appreciation has stronger effects on remittances motivated by the desire to invest. By reducing the taka paid per unit of dollar, appreciation raises the taka prices of the assets the migrant workers wish to buy in Bangladesh, thus reducing the asset demand and hence the amount that would have been remitted to buy those assets. Political turmoil affects remittance transaction costs as well as the ability to remit by disrupting the smooth functioning of the banking system.
Detailed data to quantify the contribution of each of the factors noted above is unfortunately not available. Anecdotally, it appears their contribution to the decline may be nontrivial.
Focusing economic diplomacy to resolve the legal problems Bangladeshi migrant workers are facing abroad so as to prevent their premature return home, helping unemployed migrant workers abroad find decent jobs, improving the skill composition of new migrants, ensuring the competitiveness of the exchange rate, and ring fencing remittance transactions from the impact of political turmoil will help stem the decline in remittances experienced in the first half of FY14.
Good writing about remittance
Good writing about remittance trend of Bangladesh! Being a Middle East expat I have same ovservation which author has underlined. No doubt major drawback is downtrend of overseas employment of Bangladeshi worker and in addition numerous problems facing by the GCC workers has worsen the situation. UAE & KSA as a whole contributing more then 30% of the global incoming remittance of Bangladesh and both the country has stopped or tightened hiring workers from Bangladesh and it has directly affected the remittance graph. Already visa ban is crossed more than two years for UAE and KSA and there are no visible sign of exemption of the same will deteriorate the situation further! Govt of Bangladesh should immediate intervene the situation with most priority to hold the string.
Thanks for commenting Mr.
Thanks for commenting Mr. Mahmud. The information you have provided on visa is extremely useful.
It's a negative signal but
It's a negative signal but not ominous. It's true we had some political problem for few months. But we have succeeded it. Current Govt. is trying it's best to explore new job markets.This Govt. efficiently explored a new system as Govt. to Govt. man power exchange with Malaysia. It's very cheap and hassle free. We are highly optimistic that our Govt. will explore more markets and new destination for our industrious working community. KSA and UAE have some domestic problem related expatriates. Here alternative market can give some good relief like Qatar, Brazil, South Africa. So we can expect something good for the next days.
Mr. Zakir, you have mentioned
Mr. Zakir, you have mentioned that current govt is trying to explore new job market and you underlined about malaysia. I am asking you,do you relly has any data of that how many new workers has got the mayalsian visa? No-2, if you compare last 5 years term of current govt major remittance countris were stopped issuing visa like KSA, UAE, QATAR, KUWAIT as well. What steps had govt taken to ease the situation. I am UAE Expat last 8 years working with remittance base company and we have the data that last one year from UAE only approximately 100K labours has lost their job and sent back to Bangladesh on other hand no visa since 2 years for new inflow. Same case happened in Libya when war started approximately 60k workers has gone back and govt has no clue where they are what they are doing now. Though govt had mentioned they will compensate those who all were affected in libya. You mentioned there are some domestic problems in UAE & KSA but what are the problems you didnot mentioned. I can tell you there are no such problems for thems. Problems are from our side we dont have strong diplomatic relationships in gulf or middle-east. You know why UAE has banned Bangladeshi Visa? Apperently its because of damographic balance they have their own poulation estimate for different countries and for bangladesh it has surplus the limit, but the reality is Bangladeshi govt failed to cooperate with UAE govt in illegal workers issue, Mannual to MRP Passport issues, High Expenses of visa charging by Bangladeshi Rucruiting agancies, Many Bangladeshi visiting with fake visas and also who all are coming in visit visas after few month they are becoming illegals and not returning back these are major issues for visa ban in UAE. similarly in KSA as well. Even KSA govt has proposed to open direct recruitng office in Bangladesh so that bangladeshi workers can easily choose their job category as per their skills and with minimum expense they can go to KSA, but our prudant govt has apperently declined the proposal by favouring the interest of BAIRA( Bangladesh Association or Recruting agencies) not looking to the workers interest. You are metioning about the new market but reailty is last 5 years we havnt seen any develeopment or initiatives by the govt for that. Besides our Overseas worker welfare Minister Masarrof is sleeping whole time and giving meaningless statements rather putting some real effort for the expatriates wellbieng. I have never heard of his visit in UAE last two years for any single time. If he is an expatriate welfare minister he should visit the major expatriate living countries like KSA, UAE, KUWAIT ..etc but unfortunately he is mostly stationed in Dhaka and giving media statements. I would really appreciate if you could mention some real steps where govt has succeeded to increase remittance or for easing visa ban and creating new job market. just giving vague statements or forcasting big things would never serve the purpose!!
I appreciate you. The
I appreciate you. The government is just careless with this issue as like as another issues in Bangladesh. Our main remittance source just losing it's flow. We want remedy.
Dear Mr. Hussain,
Dear Mr. Hussain,
It has always been a pleasure to read your thoughts about such crucial matters of Bangladesh. I personally get to learn a lot from your write-ups. Please try to write often.
Best Regards
Now the current economical
Now the current economical status of Bangladesh based on remittance sending from abroad and other part is garments workers in the country. Bangladesh Government should take initiative to solve the labour issue for both sector specially in uae where about eight lacs people are working. But unfortunately since more than two years they are not taking any pain for those numbers of hard worker problem what they are facing. It is very unfortuante.
Some good points, Remittance
Some good points, Remittance brings in a lot of funds to Bangladesh, I believe a big factor effecting these migrants is the actuality to get a job abroad, in order to remit the money home.

More than 100 years of service
The Oklahoma Bar Association was formed in 1904 by the merger of the Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory Bar Associations. After statehood in November 1907, the association was recognized by the Oklahoma Legislature until it repealed the enacting legislation in 1938. Thereafter, in 1939 the Oklahoma Supreme Court, exercising its plenary powers over the courts of the state of Oklahoma, reorganized the association and mandated that to practice law in Oklahoma all Oklahoma lawyers must be association members. The association celebrated its centennial in September 2004 and has a rich history of serving lawyers and the public. It offers a wide variety of community service programs designed to help Oklahomans.
As part of the goal to protect the public, the OBA Office of the General Counsel investigates complaints against lawyers and prosecutes lawyers who have committed ethical violations. The bar also offers free legal information and a list of legal resources, including many low- or no-cost assistance programs, as well as other law-related educational programs.
The Oklahoma Bar Association is governed by a 17-member Board of Governors whose members are lawyers elected by bar members..
The bar center is located in the State Capitol Complex at 1901 N. Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma City. The mailing address is P.O. Box 53036, Oklahoma City, OK 73152. The main phone number is 405-416-7000 or 800-522-8065.
The Oklahoma Bar Association is an arm of the Oklahoma Supreme Court and does not receive any appropriations from the Oklahoma Legislature. The association receives no public or tax-related revenues. The organization's activities are wholly funded through membership dues, grants and other self-generated revenue.

Doing it for themselves
South of France, 1971, hanging with The Stones and Gram, obviously...
39 comments:
Can I come in the south of France with you,the Stones and Gram Parsons?
I'd love to "homage" you and Vix on this amazing theme, it could be another blogger experience and ,as in your previous post, it demonstrates that an outfit is a story to tell, a fantasy and something that makes our lives better, but please take your hands off Gram, he's mine!
After seeing your glorious patchwork jacket, I've started to look for a similar one, it's not stealing...I hope to find one soon!
The skirt, the bangles and the hat are beautiful too!I already put the Travelling yellow skirt freak show badge on my blog, can't wait for it to arrive to us!!

What a lovely story about the charity shop lady, how amazing to be still working at that age, she obviously has great taste.
I think it's great that the sistah's are so supportive of each other and generous. I thought 'Taffeta and a tea cup' was a brilliant idea, will rack my brains for a different theme altho' my wardrobe is somewhat limited.
Today you bring to mind, Lady Jane!xx

Fab outfit! No wonder people comment when you look so good. I think a lot of people (including me) find it quite difficult to put together a really good outfit. I am trying hard though. Maybe by the time I am 90 I will have got my act together.
Love your portrait. You must be thrilled.

You are always the best sisterhood delight in your posts! I'm so excited to see how the yellow skirt unfolds as it travels the world. Are you going to jump on it?
Love this patchwork jacket. Can I borrow it when I go on my date with Charlie Watts? He comes to my neck of the woods occasionally you know. He is friends with some drum shop owner here so it is possible! I think I'll hang out in the parking lot and wait, and if I'm wearing your jacket he'll be sure and spot me. Maybe bring me back to England with him too. Then I'll sneak off and visit you, and return your jacket of course. ;)
Have a fun weekend!

Oh such an inspiring post! Go the blogging sisterhood! Made me laugh that people asked you where you were going looking so posh. Simmilar thing happened to Ria & I a few weeks back:p We were asked if we were going to some kind of party (no this is how we dress). The lady in the charity shop sounds so lovely & inspirational!

Ooooh, you are now so posh you won't be fit to associate with the rest of us humble peasant-types...lol.
Joni immortalized you fabulously! But you've always been art with your creative expressions of style and your thoughtful, funny posts.

I love the traveling skirt idea, and the concept behind it, almost as much as i love your scarf. What is it about scarves that make people comment that you look posh? I mean its not that long ago that their primary use was to wear 'em over a headful of curlers (at least where im from anyway!). Scarf wearing is one thing i have kept up in my fashion doldrums, do show us your faves sometime im betting you have quite the collection x

"looking all posh", they're just jellie. Sometimes went I good to work, the students all look like they're wearing jammies and , of course, flip flops. I cheer up and feel better when I "make an effort". We have to wear clothes, have fun with it.

"Scritch" under the chin for the kittycat....Yep, sisters are definitely doin' it for themselves! I love the concept of the travellin' skirt, will look forward to my turn at styling it up. If we all live to be 90 I think we should move in together so we can help each other get dressed and go out for tea.
- 15 November 2012 at 18:07
It's a beautiful thing, all the love around. Undoubtedly you have paid homage to Vix in spectacular form. I love your thoughts about fashion. I t a beautiful thing how a part of this community we encourage and inspire each other every day.
Side note - Master V (3.5 year old) basically directed my styling efforts this morning, choosing my skirt and most of my accessories. Bless his heart he did a fabulous job. It's always interesting to see possibilities through children's eyes. I think the sweet boys efforts will have to have a post all of their own. X

Okay, no pornographic evidence here either. Curtise, you really must remember to take your camera with you on trysts with The Stones and Gram and suchlike. But I do see evidence of ultra-awesome talent in that piece by Joni. While you are immortalized and frozen in time, the words keep you groovy. I wasn't rockin' on today, more like a slow ballad. Tomorrow, well, that's another day...

I'm with Ulla-Marie. Dressing like a groupie on a Friday is a great idea. And you are doing a cracking job of channelling the look, Curtise.
You've inspired to me to have a go myself (no, I'm not dressed yet, I have the lurgy, but a bit of slap and a fun outfit will cheer me up.)
Have a fab weekend xxx

I hope we will all be as lucky as your charity shop lady, who sounds divine - I love that story! xo
P.S. Thank you for asking after my hen - she seems to have responded well to some extra care and perked up, but now another of our ladies is off, went to roost with an empty crop last night. I'm off to see if I can tempt her with some delicious / nutritious bits.

Cat hair is so on trend this season, dahling.

Years back I had a jacket like yours, a bit less colourful though. I should have had a skirt like yours to go with it, I love it! With the belt and hat you're work of art - and you really are! Joni is so talented, I hope the two of you get a chance to meet!

Love the story of the lady in the charity shop, I hope I can be that vital and interested in life if I'm lucky enough to make it to that age.

You had a bit of homage paid with that beautiful image of you from Joni. It's gorgeous as you both are to me! Wouldn't it be great if she and I could head back out across the pond for a meet up. How about a whole weekend ~blogger get away! How divine would that be!

Coach of the Year Simon Dritz
Blanche Ely
2011-12 record: 20-15
Comment: In his second stint as the head wrestling coach at Blanche Ely, Dritz has again turned the Tigers into a respectable opponent in Broward County. Dritz spent eight years at Ely, then took a year off before returning two years ago. The Ohio State graduate said he likes the direction the program is heading and why not with the success following the 2011-12 season had. The team finished in the top 10 at the BCAA County Championships, finished second at its district tournament, sending nine wrestlers to the regional tournament. From there, Carvens Joseph and Aris Knight qualified for the Class 2A state tournament in Lakeland.
Quote: "We changed the philosophy here at Ely. I thought this year was unreal in what the team accomplished. We met every goal that we set as a team. My job becomes easy when the kids that come in, are dedicated, want to learn how to wrestle and compete. There's so much young talent, but we need to keep them involved."

Thanks! We certainly hope that everything works out for us, too! And I hope that thinkgs work out for you guys, also, though judging by your numbers, you'll have your pick. What does your partner do?
Hey, Bridget. He has contacted T4A, and they said that they are willing to be flexible about his placement. They should find out sometime soon (Nov 7, I believe), and they'll place him someplace to begin with; then, if our school stuff doesn't work out, then he will not do T4A--shhh! Don't tell them! As long as they are willing to work with him, then we should be fine. They told him that there's a good chance that they can switch him if towns aren't congruous. We also care for his ailing grandmother, who is in a wheelchair, so that's a factor that T4A said they would consider as well. We'll see how it works out. I'm 26, so I'm a bit older and I can't wait any longer to go to school. That's neat that you guys are in a similar situation, though! You guys won't be applying until the next cycle, though--is that what I'm hearing?

Premier League: Liverpool full-back Aly Cissokho ignoring critics as he waits on future
Aly Cissokho has shrugged off criticism as he waits to find out if he has a future at Liverpool beyond the summer.
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 18/02/14 3:02pm
Cissokho joined Liverpool on a season-long loan deal from Valencia last summer, but made the worst possible start to his Anfield career as he suffered a nasty ankle injury in the Capital One Cup game against Notts County.
A spell on the sidelines meant that it took longer for the 26-year-old to adjust to English football, and he is aware that some people continue to doubt his ability.
However, the France left-back does not pay attention to such matters and insists he is as determined as ever to play a key role for the team.
He told L'Equipe: "In my first match against Notts County, after five minutes, my ankle turned. It was a big ankle sprain.
"The most important injury in my whole career so far and at the worst moment. A piece of cartilage moved. I had to undergo surgery in London.
"It was a very difficult moment. I was afraid. Surgery delayed my adaptation.
"Critics? I am used to not winning unanimous support. I let people have their own opinion and I give my best."
Cissokho has always been aware of Liverpool's history and feels a great sense of pride at playing for such a club.
He explained: "You'll Never Walk Alone? That hymn impressed me when I was a kid. It is beautiful, extraordinary. The first time I could hear it with the red shirt on my back, I felt a lot of emotions.
"I thought about how far I have come, all those years when I worked hard to achieve my dream."
Cissokho has previously made it clear that he would welcome the chance to stay at Liverpool on a permanent deal, but he accepts that it will be the two clubs who decide his long-term future.
He told Canal+: "Valencia is also a great club, but there are a lot of economic problems in Spain.
"I have given my very best for Liverpool and we will see at the end of the season what both clubs will decide.
"If I have to leave Liverpool, I will leave. I am doing a nice job and that is the most important."

Steelin' Jazz is a combo of jazz musicians led by Clyde 'Lightning' George, the world's finest straight ahead jazz Steelpan player. Lightning was born in Trinidad around the same time that the Steelpan was evolving. At an early age he became fascinated with this new instrument. His mentor, teacher and pan inventor, Bertie Marshall, recognized his ability to learn music quickly and gave him his nickname 'Lightning'.
Lightning is an acclaimed jazz player. He has brought his double tenor steelpans to jam in Amsterdam, Paris, Athens, Tobago, Montreal, Buffalo and many more cities worldwide. He is a master teacher, performer, composer, arranger and recording artist.
Lightning is a self taught musician who was mesmerized with jazz music when he heard it on the radio in Trinidad. He wanted to understand this music and perfect his execution of jazz on the steelpan. In 1978 he moved to Chicago, a focal point of American jazz. Initially he ran into skepticism when he walked into a jazz club with his double tenor pans and asked to join the jam. After hearing a few notes, the skepticism turned into astonishment from both the musicians and the audiences. His finely tuned musical knowledge and brilliant improvisational skills have been well recognized by jazz experts and critics alike:
"Calypso and Jazz are an unusual union but then George is a free bird" David Hoekstra, Chicago Sun Times
"Sparks of brilliance flew from the double tenor pan of jazz musician Clyde 'Lightning' George" Michael Mondezie, Trinidad Guardian
"His band, Steelin' jazz, is akin to the Modern Jazz Quartet of Steelpan" Terry Joseph, The Trinidad Express
"The only be bop Panman I know" George Bean, Chicago Herald
"Chicago's own adopted son –Clyde 'Lightning' George is a true original. combining breezy calypso sound with the sophistication of jazz" Brad Walseth, Jazz Chicago
Lightning is one of a handful of pan players that uses 3-4 sticks while performing. This makes for richer harmonies and a fuller sound. Many compare his sound to that of a piano. He has performed with the finest of jazz musicians including Willie Pickens, George Bean, Jon Faddis, Clark Terry, Ira Sullivan, Ray Bailey and others. His versatility allows him to perform also with the world's greatest calypso artists such as the Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, King Crazy and the original Defosto Himself.
Currently Lightning is the artistic director of the Bertie Marshall Pan Institute in Diego Martin, Trinidad. He has returned to Trinidad to share his knowledge of straight ahead jazz with Trinidad musicians. He has created an educational and performance center where local and international artists can interact and learn from each other.

The new Uemura eyelash curler?
We've recently discovered this new eyelash curler. Now, it might sound like a trivial thing to write about, but Shu Uemura's eyelash curler's have held the no. 1 spot in the beauty industry for years. And knowing how much money we women spend on beauty products, it's big news when a competitor crops up on the market. Utowa eyelash curlers have yet to surface in the UK but we'll keep our eyes peeled.
Strangely enough, Utowa was started by Hiroshi Uemura, son of Shu.

Comcast-Backed Lobbyist Insists Seattle Doesn't Want Faster, Cheaper Broadband
from the you'll-take-what-we-give-you-and-like-it dept
The effort didn't turn out particularly well, with Seattle suddenly scrapping the project, after Gigabit Squared failed to do much if any work or pay $52,250 owed to the city for city labor. As such, Gigabit Seattle dies with a whimper amid the quiet resignation of a Gigabit Squared co-founder, leaving Seattle in the same spot it has been for years: relying on incumbent broadband providers with absolutely no interest in competing on price.
Bad business plans are bad business plans, and while there are many examples of community broadband efforts succeeding (from Chattanooga to the public-private efforts of Google Fiber), the incumbent broadband industry simply loves to make sure they celebrate implosions like Seattle's latest as proof it's futile to push back against entrenched duopolies. Right on cue, enter Ron Main of Comcast-backed cable lobbying group Broadband Communications Association of Washington, who in an editorial in the Seattle Times tries to convince Seattleites that relying on anyone other than Comcast was a fool's errand, and that the services Comcast already offers should be good enough for anyone:
...Comcast offers a 105 megabits-per-second (Mbps) download speed across its entire service area in Seattle and Washington state. Despite this widespread availability of high-speed broadband, residential use of this service is low. Only 5 percent of residents currently subscribe to this service, according to the company.Omitted, of course, is that because Comcast sees no serious competition in the city (CenturyLink struggles to provide most users 6 Mbps on DSL, much less 100 Mbps), they're allowed to charge rates that make those speeds unappealing. Comcast does, for example, offer 505 Mbps in some markets -- but at $400 a month, plus a steep early termination fee higher than $1,000, as well as a $250 activation fee and a $250 installation fee. Compare that to 1 Gbps service from Google Fiber at $70 a month and no fees. Still, Main continues with what has become a broadband-industry mantra of sorts, insisting that because nobody is buying existing expensive offerings (when they're available at all), users simply must not want them:
The fact is residential demand for speeds greater than what is now available is very limited. Most people take service around 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps. This is fast enough for typical residential uses, from streaming movies and working from home to Skyping with family. Higher speeds of 1 to 10 gigabit-per-second service are available to local businesses and large institutions.In other words, the broadband industry is doing good enough in the broadband industry's humble opinion, and efforts to try and do better (or perhaps -- gasp -- exceed expectations) are unnecessary. Comcast has spent much of the last year pretending that the United States leads the world in broadband, and when you combine that sort of raw, blistering denial with can't do attitude and regulatory capture, you get the kind of painful mediocrity the U.S. broadband industry is famous for.

"Anyone who attended the Lucinda Williams concert Thursday at Woodland Park Zoo saw not only one of Lucinda's best local shows in years, but also the free "bonus" of guitarist Bill Frisell joining Williams' band all night."
As a string quartet, one of our great loves is the act of commissioning and performing new music, and this is where the Brooklyn Rider Almanac got started. We've already commissioned fifteen new works from a diverse list of musicians, all of whom operate mostly outside of the classical music world. We asked each composer to name a personally influential artistic figure active within the last 50 years, and incorporate the spirit of that influence into the piece. Every time a composer came back to us with their source of inspiration, our excitement mounted. We started to realize that there was a much deeper story to tell...
"A Film with Bill Frisell"
Click HERE to see the 7-minute video including rare interview footage of Bill's friends and fellow musicians. Emma Franz launched a fundraising campaign with IndieGoGo to help fund the finishing touches of the documentary. She looking to raise $32k to help with expenses. You might have seen her video taping at live shows across the US and Europe.
Whether due to financial shortcomings, boredom, space constraints or restlessness, every guitarist has a tale of the "one that got away," an instrument that we should have held onto, but, somehow, didn't.
In the case of Bill Frisell, the one that got away was a custom 1968 Gibson ES-175. In his 20s, while the young musician was still discovering his singular voice, the Gibson was his main guitar and constant companion. And then, in a move he'd regret for decades, he sold it.
Click HERE for the full article by Fretboard Journal which also includes a VIDEO interview of Bill and his story.
Sonic Evolution celebrates the past, present and future of music with brand-new symphonic compositions inspired by icons Bill Frisell, Ray Charles and Sir Mix-A-Lot, written by composers Luís Tinoco, Du Yun and Gabriel Prokofiev. Sonic Evolution is presented as part of the Seattle Symphony's New Music WORKS initiative, supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. New Music WORKS features commissions, concerts and educational activities that use composition as a catalyst for collaboration and engagement in music.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Lemma instances are the objects one provides via
:use and
:by hints
(see hints) to bring to the theorem prover's attention some previously
proved or easily provable fact. A typical use of the
:use hint is given
below. The value specified is a list of five lemma instances.
:use (reverse-reverse (:type-prescription app) (:instance assoc-of-app (x a) (y b) (z c)) (:functional-instance p-f (p consp) (f flatten)) (:instance (:theorem (equal x x)) (x (flatten a))))Observe that an event name can be a lemma instance. The
:use hint allows
a single lemma instance to be provided in lieu of a list, as in:
:use reverse-reverseor
:use (:instance assoc-of-app (x a) (y b) (z c))
A lemma instance denotes a formula which is either known to be a theorem or which must be proved to be a theorem before it can be used. To use a lemma instance in a particular subgoal, the theorem prover adds the formula as a hypothesis to the subgoal before the normal theorem proving heuristics are applied.
A lemma instance, or
lmi, is of one of the following five forms:
name, where
name names a previously proved theorem, axiom, or
definition and denotes the formula (theorem) of that name.
rune, where
rune is a rune (see rune) denoting the
corollary justifying the rule named by the rune.
(:theorem term), where
term is any term alleged to be a theorem.
Such a lemma instance denotes the formula
term. But before using such a
lemma instance the system will undertake to prove
(:instance lmi (v1 t1) ... (vn tn)), where
lmi is recursively a
lemma instance, the
vi's are distinct variables and the
ti's are
terms. Such a lemma instance denotes the formula obtained by instantiating
the formula denoted by
lmi, replacing each
vi by
(:functional-instance lmi (f1 g1) ... (fn gn)), where
lmi is
recursively a lemma instance and each
fi is an ``instantiable'' function
symbol of arity
ni and
gi is a function symbol or a pseudo-lambda
expression of arity
ni. An instantiable function symbol is any defined
or constrained function symbol except the primitives
implies, and
o<, and a few others, as listed by the constant
*non-instantiable-primitives*. These are built-in in such a way that we
cannot recover the constraints on them. A pseudo-lambda expression is
an expression of the form
(lambda (v1 ... vn) body) where the
vi are
distinct variable symbols and
body is any term. No a priori relation
is imposed between the
vi and the variables of
body, i.e.,
may ignore some
vi's and may contain ``free'' variables. However, we do
not permit
v to occur freely in
body if the functional substitution
is to be applied to any formula (
lmi or the constraints to be
satisfied) in a way that inserts
v into the scope of a binding of
let or
mv-let (or,
lambda). If you happen to violate
this restriction, an informative error message will be printed. That message
will list for you the potentially illegal choices for
v in the context in
which the functional substitution is offered. A
lemma instance denotes the formula obtained by functionally instantiating the
formula denoted by
lmi, replacing
fi by
gi. However, before such
a lemma instance can be used, the system will generate proof obligations
arising from the replacement of the
fi's by the
gi's in constraints
that ``support'' the lemma to be functionally instantiated; see constraint.
One might expect that if the same instantiated constraint were generated on
behalf of several events, then each of those instances would have to be
proved. However, for the sake of efficiency, ACL2 stores the fact that such
an instantiated constraint has been proved and avoids it in future events.
Obscure case for definitions. If the lemma instance refers to a
:definition rune, then it refers to the
corollary formula of
that rune, which can be a simplified (``normalized'') form of the original
formula. However, if the hint is a
:by hint and the lemma instance is
based on a name (i.e., a symbol), rather than a rune, then the formula is the
original formula of the event, as shown by
pe, rather than the
normalized version, as shown by
pf. This is as one would expect:
If you supply the name of an event, you expect it to refer to the original
event. For
:use hints we use the simplified (normalized) form instead,
which is reasonable since one would expect simplification during the proof
that re-traces the normalization done at the time the rule was created.
See functional-instantiation-example for an example of the use
:functional-instance (so-called ``functional instantiation).''

Cobalt - indoor security robots
February 24, 2017
Cobalt is building indoor robots for security, designed to work alongside human guards to provide better security than people can do alone. Our robots have the sensing, computation, and intelligence of an autonomous car. A fleet of Cobalt robots is comparable to an extremely competent guard with super-human capabilities and omnipresent situational awareness across an entire organization. The robots are meant to keep offices safe by patrolling around, looking for intruders or anything that's out of the ordinary, and also providing a friendly face to office employees.
Cobalt takes the wraps off its indoor security robots
Published on Mar 1, 2017
"Cobalt takes the wraps off its indoor security robots"Palo Alto-based Cobalt Robotics Inc. today introduced a new line of robot security guards for indoor use. The roving robots use the same kind of components you'd expect in a self-driving car to sense people and problems in a building. Cofounders Travis Deyle and Erik Schluntz, who are former GoogleX and SpaceX engineers, say they designed the robots to complement, not replace, human security guards.

Cleanup and Clarification
Hello. This wiki page while very exhaustive in content is tangenital with a fractured flow. It seems the prefered method for straight forward system encryption in single drive systems is to use a combination of Luks and LVM2 - this solution provides for an encrypted swap that does not have any issues with hibernation or suspend. I propose making this section the first part of the wiki page to follow the justification for using Luks with the rather large volume of detailed information to follow in other sections. If there are no objections I'll go ahead and structure this in the wiki page itself. Vinhsynd 9:55, 30 September 2010 (CDT)
Hey all, I was trying to encrypt my hd using this page as a reference, but it was a bit difficult to read. As such, I'm going to try to clean things up a bit. It would be nice if there were a clean set of instructions with tips along the way for specialized setups.
On a related note... would anyone mind if some of the posts on this page were erased? There are a number of posts from 2007, 2008... --Arcanazar 13:22, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
I'm considering to do some editing and rewriting of this page, mainly in part "4 The Steps". The content would mostly stay the same, safe for some changes introduced with the newer versions of arch, where less console switching and module loading is needed. On the same subject should we drop, or move to a subsection, the parts related to versions 0.72 of arch?
Does anyone have objections to my plans, or should I just go ahead and we can revert back if it doesn't fit? WhiteMagic 12:56, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
- Clean up is really needed. Please someone with enough knowledge start the job. -- Fengchao (talk) 02:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Luks and suspend2
Would it be worth adding a section on opening encrypted drives from the kernel command line, or more specifically on combining luks and suspend2? As far as I can tell opening a swap partition from crypttab doesn't make it available in time to resume from, but adding the following to a lilo append option does:
resume2=swap:/dev/mapper/swap cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:swap
I'm not sure if this is the correct/best way of doing this, though, and didn't see other documentation.
Proposed update of the section 'Storing the key between MBR and 1st partition'
I tried to setup automatic mount of my LUKS encrypted
Add the temporary keyfile we created before with cryptsetup:
cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/hda3 secretkey
That should return you output like this:
Enter any LUKS passphrase: key slot 0 unlocked. Command successful.
Next you'll have to write the key directly between MBR and first partition.
WARNING: you should only follow this step if you know what you are doing - it can cause data loss and damage your partitions or MBR on the stick!
If you have a bootloader installed on your drive you have to adjust the values. E.g. GRUB needs the first 16 sectors, you would have to replace seek=4 with seek=16; otherwise you would overwrite parts of your GRUB installation. When in doubt, take a look at the first 64 sectors of your drive and decide on your own where to place your key.
dd if=/dev/usbstick of=64sectors bs=512 count=64 # gives you copy of your first 64 sectors hexcurse 64sectors # determine free space
Write your key to the disk:
dd if=secretkey of=/dev/usbstick bs=512 seek=4
If everything went fine you can now overwrite and delete your temporary secretkey:
shred --remove --zero secretkey
You should not simply use rm as the keyfile would only be unlinked from your filesystem and be left physically intact.
Now you have to add a kernel parameter in your
/boot/grub/menu.lst (GRUB), it should look something like this:
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=791 cryptkey=/dev/usbstick:2048:2048 cryptdevice=/dev/hda4:home
Format for the cryptkey option:
OFFSET and SIZE match in this example, but this is coincidence - they can differ (and often will). An other possible example could be (if you use skip=16 in the 'dd' command above to protect the bootloader)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/hda3 ro vga=791 cryptkey=/dev/usbstick:8192:2048 cryptdevice=/dev/hda4:home
Format for the cryptdevice option:
The encrypted block device BLOCKDEVICE will then be mapped to
Note: You will _not_ need to have
/etc/crypttab setup for this device then (but maybe you want to use it for other encrypted devices where you want to enter the passphrase manually or e.g. use a keyfile stored on this afterwards decrypted partition)! But don't forget to activate the encrypt hook in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (_before_ the filesystems hook)
That's all, reboot and have fun! And look if your partitions still work after that ;-).
LVM2 and LUKS
I'm quite sure this section is misleading. You have to setup up encryption before LVM2 partitions on the decrypted device.
And you have to add the "encrypt" hook before the "lvm2" hook, because you need to make the decrypted device available before LVM2 imports volume groupe and makes logical volumes available.
Yet this chapter tends to tell the other way round. Is my English so bad ?
I agree.. I find this entire wiki article unnecessarily complicated .. this link for an LVM on top of an encrypted partition is MUCH!!! easier to follow, and for a laptop would be better. Arch Linux: LVM on top of an encrypted partition
- This section is misleading. What the author meant was if you encrypt the contents of LVM partitions, THEN you have to move the lvm2 hook before the encrypt hook. I made a few small changes, so other newbies (like me) don't end up with an unbootable system.
-- I also agree that the section needs a further overhaul, assuming here everyone commenting means the "Encrypting and LVM Setup" (because "LVM2 and LUKS" is not in the TOC). Having encrypt over (i.e. before) LVM is def the typical and easiest setup (and this should be expanded on more clearly in the wiki like in the link above I agree). However, all methods have a usecase. It depends what the user wants to achieve. Time permitting, the differences should be worked out. --Indigo (talk) 19:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Prepare hard drive
The actual text is:
Skip the Partitioning and Auto-Prepare business and go straight to "Set Filesystem Mountpoints". When asked for your
/ (root) partition, do NOT select
/dev/sda3 as you normally would. Select
/dev/mapper/root instead. Similarly, use
/dev/mapper/home instead of
/dev/sda4 as the partition to be mounted as
/home. The same is valid for a swap partition which is set up like the home partition. Make sure you mount
/dev/sda1 as the
/boot partition or else the installer will not properly set up the bootloader.
but the Arch Linux installer says:
When asked for
/ (root) partition: is it
/dev/mapper/root or
/dev/mapper/lvm-root. I suppose it is the first one because the second one does not match.
Decryption of root during boot with the assistance of UDEV when key is stored on USB drive between MBR and 1st Partition
The instructions in the wiki were very helpful but a bit confusing/lacking when it comes to getting Decryption via USB keyfile stored between MBR and 1st Partition.
System_Encryption_with_LUKS#Storing_the_key_between_MBR_and_1st_partition makes references to
/dev/usbkey but the previous instructions aren't entirely clear on how to ensure your usb drive can always be found at this location.
When modifying your bootloader you will be unable to use /dev/disk/by-uuid because you are not referencing a filesystem. You wouldn't want to use /dev/sd[x] because this can and will change depending on what other drives and media you have connected during boot. The best bet is to create a udev rule that will exist in early userspace to alias your usb drive to an arbitrary name, in this case "usbkey". The rule must be added to the initial ramdisk so it can be read and processed to alias your drive at /dev/usbkey before root decryption is attempted via the key hidden on the drive.
System_Encryption_with_LUKS#Using_udev runs you through the initial steps you need to create a basic rule based on the USB drive's serial number. That is the very same rule I used. I named the rules file "62-usbkey.rules" and placed it in
Now modify
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf, look for the "FILES" section and add the udev rule that you created above:
# FILES # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files. # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options # like so: # FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" FILES="/etc/udev/rules.d/62-usbkey.rules"
Run mkinitcpio ala Mkinitcpio#Image_creation_and_activation and rebuild your ramdisk with the new udev rule you've included. You can now continue to follow the instructions in System_Encryption_with_LUKS#Storing_the_key_between_MBR_and_1st_partition to modify your bootloader and substitute references to "usbkey" to whatever you named your drive alias above.
S0ma 13:48, 16 December 2011 (EST)
systemd addidtions
systemd requires lvm-on-cryptdevice.service active in order to open LVMs on cryptdevices that are not the root partition (which is handled by the initrd).
after 2012.07.15
What change with the new installation process and systemd change ? If I understand correctly parts related to /etc/rc.conf files are no longer useful but what's the correct way now ? thanks --Martvefun (talk) 00:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC) -> question and response asked[1]
- For reference - two more bbs threads covering the subject: with systemd and with a nice backup script--Indigo (talk) 20:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Encrypted swap With suspend-to-disk support
Shouldn't the openswap hook go after the encrypt hook? Otherwise you have to always open the root device prior to the swap, even on resume.
- You meant to write ".. the openswap go before encrypt ..?" which sounds like a reasonable suggestion. Have you tried it? (I have not). Maybe it works still (without manual unlocking of root) because of the kernel parameter resume=.. In Debian it would go after, but there the key for swap is derived by the hook from the root master key (hence not input extra for swap, which is elegant).--Indigo (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Feature of Grub2 to decrypt /boot
Original comment by Chehri on 8.6.13, moved from [Dm-crypt_with_LUKS#Creating_Disk_Partitions] to here: It is now possible to include /boot on a LUKS container thanks to grub 2.00. Zack Buhman (buhman) has proposed a patch which allows this. This allows kexec to be used to start a new kernel in remote situations. It also removes any possibility of the kernel being tampered with (though grub is still unencrypted; store on a removable drive for added safety).
- Interesting patch/idea. I moved the out-of-date box here to discussion first for the following reason:
- The patch you link to is proposed and not even commented on, i.e. it is not in the encrypt hook. Having it there as out-of-date in this general Luks section at the beginning will confuse new readers totally. Another reason is that the Luks page in that section is general, not grub specific. Everything there can be setup with standard Arch [core], i.e. also Syslinux.
- I hope you agree to that, if not let's please discuss it. Thanks.
- I think the best way forward for the contribution would be to draft a subsection under 3.2 (e.g. as 3.2.7), we have different hook modifications there for the swap. (later on there is a specific section on encrypted keyfiles too where it might fit well). Once the section is complete and accurate to modify a standard Arch, one could link to it from the general section above. Once something like that goes into the vanilla Arch-encrypt hook, it should definetely be described earlier. Another (different) point would be to discuss the pros/cons security-wise of such a modification a bit. That could be done in the subsection too. --Indigo (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

"I kind of had a disaster. I was doing a show and I changed there and I went and I couldn't wear underwear. I don't think I can tell this story on TV," Paltrow said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday. "Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor."
"I went from being the most beautiful to the most humiliated in one day," Paltrow joked.
A confused Ellen proceeded to press Paltrow for more details about the razor situation.

Mission Woods Indoor Air
With tighter building construction in recent years, the quality of indoor air in Mission Woods has declined dramatically.
The air circulating in the duct work of the average Mission Woods home can be concentrated with contaminants, including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites. We fill our lungs us to 20,000 times each day. Over time, these contaminants can cause inflammation of the mucous membranes, upper respiratory problems, asthmatic conditions, headaches, and flu-like symptoms, especially among children.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 2001 National Health Interview Study, over 7.6 million children (5-17 years) and over 12.7 million young adults (18-44 years) suffer from asthma. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental dangers to the public.

Lodsys Sues App Developer For Patent Infringement Because He Called Them A Patent Troll
from the wow dept
Lodsys is seeking a percentage of revenue from the time they sent me the letter to the time their patent expired. Usually they request around 1% of your in-app-purchases. My company made about $500 with in-app-purchase during this time period and 1% of that is $5. What? I'm getting sued for $5? Given it cost Lodsys $350 to file the lawsuit I assumed they would ask for more than that. And they did.Why? Well, it appears this has little to do with actual patent infringement, and a hell of a lot to do with Lodsys trying to get Moore to shut up:
Lodsys offered to settle with my company for $3,500.
This all started in May, 2011 when my co-host and I re-launched Tech 411, formerly a radio show in Washington DC, as a podcast on iTunes. Our first couple shows discussed how Lodsys was going after app developers. I commented that Lodsys was "patent trolling" with "evil letters" that were "complete b.s." Around this time Apple had featured our show and it quickly became the #1 tech news show on iTunes.Moore is refusing to pay, and has smartly filed a motion to dismiss under Texas' anti-SLAPP law, the Texas Citizens Participation Act. Texas currently has probably the best anti-SLAPP statute around, and that's useful since Lodsys, like so many patent trolls like to sue in Texas. In his blog post, Moore notes that paying up would only lead to more trolling:
[....] Dan contacted the lawyer for Lodsys, who actually admitted to him that this wasn't about money. It was about the things I said on my tech podcast and blog. During that time, the CEO of Lodsys, Mark Small, was getting a lot of negative media coverage and even wrote on his blog that he received several death threats. Mark obviously didn't like the comments I made about his company and retaliated by sending a patent infringement letter.
If I pay them off, what is stopping the next troll from knocking on my door? Nothing. And I've heard that if you pay a troll to go away it can lead to more trolls showing up. It's like your company gets added to a spam list. That's not a list I want to be on. I'd rather be able to talk about this issue and hope that at some point in the future our patent and legal system will change to address this serious problem. In the end, it's dragging down our economy because small innovative companies have to spend time and money defending themselves against bogus lawsuits instead of hiring new employees.Moore is being represented by Dan Ravicher of PUBPAT and the motion to dismiss is a worthwhile read. I've actually been wondering in the past if those who speak out against patent trolls, and then are sued by them, might have a First Amendment/anti-SLAPP argument, and now we'll have a test case to see how that works, at least under Texas law.
