Smooth Creations Test System Setup
Processor(s): Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 @ 3.9GHz
Motherboard(s): Foxconn P45-A
Memory: 2 X 4GB G.Skill MQ 6-6-6-18
Hard Disk(s): Western Digital Raptor 150GB
Operating System: Windows Vista SP1
Drivers: Catalyst 8.7 & R700 Only Driver
We couldn't let that beast of a Smooth Creations system rest for too long, so we've placed the power cord back in, hooked up our keyboard, mouse and 30" monitor and cranked the CPU up to 3.9GHz.
What we've done is run through our Vista benchmarks to see how we go with the two setups. Let's find out how we go and if my thought process was correct in wrapping up the HD 4870 X2 the other day.

I have WordPress Network at domain.tld using sub-domains option.
I've created a sub-site test.domain.tld
At this point I want this sub-site to be available as otherdomain.tld/blog
Is this possible? I know about domain mapping, but it'll only allow me to map either otherdomain.tld or blog.otherdomain.tld to my test.domain.tld
Is there any way (domain mapping, DNS tricks, some rewrites) that will allow me to map otherdomain.tld/blog ?

As a practiced reporter until her newspaper went to that great pressroom in the sky, P.I. Tess Monaghan knows and loves every inch of her native Baltimore, even the parts being slobbered on by the sad-sack greyhound she's minding for her uncle. It's a quirky city where baseball reigns, but lately homicide seems to be the second most popular local sport. Business tycoon "Wink" Wynkowski is trying to change all that by bringing pro basketball back to town, and everybody's rooting for him -- until a devastating, muckraking expose of his lurid past appears on the front page of the Baltimore Beacon-Light. It's a surprise even to the Blight's editors, who thought they'd killed the piece. Instead, the piece killed Wink -- who's found in his garage with the car running.
Now the Blight wants to nail the unknown computer hacker who planted the lethal story, and the assignment is right up the alley of a former newshound like Tess. But it doesn't take long for her to discover deeper, darker secrets, and to realize that this situation is really more about whacking than hacking. It's just murder in Baltimore these days -- and Tess Monaghan herself might be next on the list.

At this point, one of the only reasons i'm using WP Super Cache as opposed to W3 Total Cache is that WPSC supports Multisite. I can't find any information on multisite on any of the W3TC information pages, so i'm curious as to how well it supports multisite (with domain mapping).
Ideally, all configuration of the plugin would be handled by the network admin, but it'd be great if individual site admins had the option of flushing the cache for their site. (This is a feature WPSC lacks too.)

they're not saying if you use your bicycles you won't be in an accident. they're saying keep at least 1.5 meters between your car and a cyclist so you don't hit them and kill them. but it might not be that clear
Always try to be unique even when forced to conform.

The military jury that convicted Spc. Sabrina Harman of taking part in detainee abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison will decide how harshly to punish her on Tuesday.
Harman, 27, was found guilty late Monday on six of the seven charges she faced for her role in the mistreatment of Iraqi inmates in late 2003.
A hearing to determine her sentence was set to begin Tuesday morning. She faces up to 5½ years in prison.
The jury of four Army officers and four senior enlisted soldiers deliberated for less than four hours before convicting Harman on one count of conspiracy to maltreat detainees, four counts of maltreating detainees and one count of dereliction of duty.
She was acquitted of allegedly photographing a group of Iraqi prisoners forced to masturbate in public by Abu Ghraib guards. One of Harman's co-defendants testified last week that she was not present when that incident occurred.
The Army reservist showed no reaction when the verdicts were read. She left the Fort Hood courthouse without speaking to reporters.
Harman, a former pizza shop manager from Lorton, Virginia, appeared in several of the most notorious photos taken at Abu Ghraib, and she was found guilty of taking other pictures.
The photos showed prisoners chained together in sexual poses, piled on the floor naked and forced to form a nude human pyramid.
In one picture, Harman posed with Graner behind a group of naked detainees. In another, she was shown with a prisoner on whose leg she is accused of writing "rapeist."
In closing arguments Monday, prosecutors said Harman and other guards conspired to physically hurt and sexually humiliate the prisoners under their watch.
Another Guilty Of Abu Ghraib Abuse

Does anyone known of any good Linux tools for visualizing networks that change (quickly) with time.
I'm interested in things like:
- Routes between nodes
- Delays between nodes (especially as they change with time)
- Throughput
I have root access to all the nodes (so I can run daemons on them all). Also, assume that I either have a management network that is stable or I will collect data and then analyze it offline.

|Minimum Stay

Sunset Plams Villa is a fantastic 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa that has been luxuriously furnished throughout. A key feature of the property is the oversized south-facing pool and spa, which overlooks a conservation area that can only be described as magnificent; especially when relaxing in the spa enjoying your favourite drink and watching the Florida sunset on the horizon! Internally, the 2 master bedrooms both have en-suites, king size beds, walk-in wardrobes and flat screen televisions. The third bedroom has a queen size bed and the remainder have twin singles all with TVs. The family room has a large screen TV with home cinema/ DVD/ VCR. The front living room has 2 large sofas and is ideal for some quiet time! The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen, which has been upgraded with a glass top cooker, large fridge/freezer with ice maker and an eye-level large microwave. Sunset Palms ticks all the right boxes for a most enjoyable stay yet only some 10 mins from Disney.
Great location, large rooms, all amenities needed for a great family home away from home.
A great family villa, with all the amenities you need for your stay in Orlando. Easy access to all the main parks, and loocal restaurants and supermarkets within 5 mins.
Would definately stay again on our next visit
This was our first time renting a property in Orlando and this house catered for all of our needs.
The owners are friendly and provide a great service. Great communications and easy to follow instructions to the house.
On arrival everything was as described and the property was clean and well maintained with everything in working order.
The listing description and pictures are accurate.
The property is located in a very quiet location and it was great to be able to relax after a busy day in a theme park. The house is in a great position to get to all of the attractions and restaurants. Supermarkets are close as are good restaurants - we would highly recommend Manny's Chop House which is a ten minute drive away.
The view out of the back is lovely and adds to the tranquillity of the area.
We would certainly recommend this property/location to our friends and family and we would consider using this house again in the future.
The villa was easy find thanks to the directions from Ash. The villa was fantastic just like it was advertised the cupboard was well stock with glass, plates etc, plenty of towels and bedding. We have a great family holiday thanks to the villa and Ash and Ellie. We have and will recommend this villa to everyone and we will be visiting again Thanks
We first visited this home a couple of years ago (see earlier comments) and have returned a few times since then. So here's my updated review.
A previous review mentioned the lack of a portable fan. There was one in the small cupboard in the living area by the kitchen. We've used it on previous visits and again this time so we knew it was there.
There were comments about mobile phone connectivity, - go to the 7 -11 at the end of the road and buy a Pennytalk Global calling card. A $10 card will give you calls to the UK at about 2 cents per min to a land line or well over 60 mins of time to a mobile. We never used all of the one we bought. Why pay 50p per text or a fortune per min on a mobile?
The new access road to the estate really improves access and exit, and simplifies directions.
Again the house was perfect for our stay. We had a couple of minor issues but Sally Busby of Peach Management was great in helping us out and getting things sorted.
We cannot fault the house, the support from Sally, and the booking process with Ash. My only fear is that more people will book with him and restrict dates available for us.
Update usefull places
1. Chinese Takeaway - Bamboo Wok on the Town Centre Sand mine road about 4 miles North up SR27. They don't deliver but you can phone and pick up or order and buy your shopping at the Publix next door.
2. Restaurant - Manny's Chop shop - 200 yards south of Sonny's BBQ pit in Haines City. Excellent food, good service, but can get busy. We went at 8:30pm and was OK
3. Groceries - The Target Supermaket on Posner Park now has a small ( by US standards ) grocery section. So you don't have to drive miles for bread and milk.
So overall,
A great place to stay away from the bustle and relax by your own pool, but within easy access of the parks or shops. Just don't try to book it when we want to go, because we'll certainly be looking to go again.
Our stay at the property was nice, although when we pulled up to the house, it did not look anything like the picture on the internet. The Lawn company came and installed new sod while we were staying this week. The house was in good condition and it was a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the pool and the sand hill cranes who entertained us in the yard. We did not have good cell phone reception in the house, as our neighbors had similar problems seeing there were many people in the streets on their phones. Suggestions for improvement would include more than 4 washcloths abailable in the house--we had plenty of towels. Also, a ceiling fan or portable fan for the back bedroom connected to the pool would be helpful. That bedroom gets most of the sun and it gets very warm in there. All in all an enjoyable stay despite the rain we had each afternoon we were there.
Sunset Palms Villa is located on the southern fringe of the Sunset Ridge gated community adjacent to the conservation area. The villa is approximately 1 mile from Junction 55 of the Highway I-4 on the S.R 27. The highway allows for fast access to Disney (approx 10 mins) and other central theme parks as well as the beaches, particularly, to the west for St.Petersburg and Clearwater. This route also passes Tampa for Busch Gardens. Travel east for Cocoa Beach, Daytona and the Kennedy Space Centre. Orlando International airport is approx 30-40 mins. A good choice of restaurants is available locally as is shopping with a huge Wal-Mart some 5-10 minutes away and a Publix supermarket also close by. Outlet and Mall shopping is also available along the I-4 at Premium Outlets, Florida Mall and the Beltz shopping centre - approx 20-25 minutes. If golf is your game then you are spoilt for choice with Highlands Reserve, Southern Dunes and Champions Gate all approx 10 mins away.
Other Activities: Disney, Theme Parks, Designer Outlets, Shopping Malls, East Coast and West Coast beaches

Anti-Catholicism is said to have become the last respectable form of bigotry. And indeed, who among us has not heard or read some demeaning comment about one or another aspect of Catholicism? People who would never make a disparaging remark about a minority group or religion don't hesitate when it comes to Catholics. This is troubling, not the least because it is corrosive of a sense of pride and of belonging, especially among the young. Many think something ought to be done.
Well, someone is doing something. William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has become unrelenting in chasing down the running dogs of anti-Catholicism. "I believe in moral suasion," he told a New York Times columnist. "I believe in whipping up public sentiment to isolate the offender. I believe in putting on a lot of pressure."
Donohue's tactics, more swagger than suasion, have put him on the talk-show circuit where the decibel level is always set on shrill. He fits right in. Last fall his attacks on Nothing Sacred, the TV series about the comings and goings at an urban Catholic parish, helped to attract admirers while discouraging advertisers. The show managed to convey a sense of the sacramental and incarnational, and its characters resembled real people in a real parish, but it wasn't Donohue's idea of Catholicism. He sank his teeth in and didn't let go...

SEJONG, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's trade surplus widened from a year earlier last month despite a slight drop in exports as its imports shrank at a faster rate, the government said Tuesday.
In September, the country's exports dropped 1.5 percent from the same month last year to US$44.74 billion, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Its imports dropped 3.6 percent on-year to about $41.03 billion with its trade surplus coming to $3.71 billion.
The trade surplus for September compares with a surplus of $3.07 billion in September 2012. It, however, marks a drop from a surplus of $4.85 billion posted in August.
The ministry attributed the drop in both exports and imports to a decline in the number of working days in September due to the three-day Chuseok holiday, the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving.
"Both exports and imports shrank slightly from a year earlier due to a drop in the number of working days (by two days), but the country posted a trade surplus for the 20th consecutive month," it said in a press release.
The ministry said the daily average of the country's exports reached a record high of $2.24 billion with its total exports in the July-September period growing 2.9 percent on-year.
The country's exports of vessels jumped 59.7 percent on-year to $2.61 billion with outbound shipments of semiconductors also surging 21.4 percent to $5.42 billion.
The ministry said the increase in shipments of semiconductors was largely prompted by a significant rise in prices, which more than doubled to $1.83 for each 2-gigabyte dynamic random access memory chip from $0.85 in September 2012.
Shipments of automobiles and petroleum products, on the other hand, plunged 11.9 percent and 13 percent on-year, respectively, with those of steel products and liquid crystal display (LCD) panels also slumping 16.3 percent and 19.8 percent.
By nation, the country's exports to the 10-member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations gained 5 percent on-year with shipments to Latin American countries also growing 4.7 percent.
Shipments to China gained only 1.4 percent on-year while those to the United States slipped 0.7 percent.
Imports dropped as the country's purchase of raw materials shrank 2.7 percent on-year with its purchase of consumer goods plunging 19.2 percent.
The country's imports of energy also dropped significantly to some $13.8 billion, down 10.3 percent from $15.38 billion in the same month last year, as its imports of both oil and coal plunged 10.5 percent and 27.3 percent on-year, respectively, according to the ministry.
The ministry forecast the country's exports will continue growing in the remainder of the year.
"We expect our exports to maintain an upward trend in the fourth quarter on growing shipments of key export items, such as semiconductors, ships and mobile communication devices," it said.

now the shamans may drop different items such as " recovery potion, Brokem Earings, Capsules" but eventually will drop forlorn necklace
so go in and out the area untill you can see a shaman, once you see one, put in mind that there will other 5 beside him to total 6 shamans.

Old thread, I know, but I need help... What do the shaman shades look like. And the northern plains is a large area, where in the plains can you find the 6 shades?

I usually find 4 of them near the bridge that you cross to get to the northern portion of the level. The other two, I think, are near the drop-down point to go to Junk Heap.
Edit: Actually, any adult shade on the northern plain can drop a forlorn necklace, regardless of whether they hold a staff.
The first rule of playstationtrophies.org is...I don't really know.
But if it's as sucky as PS3trophies.org, you probably STILL shouldn't criticize too much.

The 25-year-old bride wore a cream, off-the-shoulder gown custom made by Emilia Wickstead to wed her billionaire fiancé Credit: Rex Allison Williams marries Ricky Van Veen, 2015 Girls star Allison Williams wed Ricky Van Veen in September 2015 wearing a beautiful custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown Credit: Allison Williams/Instagram Beatrice Borromeo marries Pierre Casiraghi, 2015 Italian aristocrat Beatrice Borromeo set the bar for a dramatic train when she married Monaco royal, Pierre Casiraghi, in her home country. The 29-year-old picked Giorgio Armani to create this stunning, micro-draped design made from silk tulle, and made it her own by adding two antique diamond heirloom brooches in the form of wings to the shoulders where the fairytale train started Elizabeth Taylor marries Richard Burton, 1964 Starting with the most notable bride of the 20th century, sporting no less than 8 wedding dresses in her lifetime, Elizabeth Taylor heads the list of the most stylish brides. For her (first) marriage to Richard Burton in 1964, Taylor wore a canary yellow chiffon gown made by costume designer Irene Sharaff which she wore with a crown of hyacinths and Bulgari emerald brooch Olivia Palermo marries Johannes Huebl, 2014 Olivia Palermo parted with tradition to marry her model fiance Johannes Huebl in New York. The stylista chose to wear a full tulle skirt with floral detail layered over a pair of cream shorts, with a simple cream cashmere jumper on top. Her something blue came in the form of some vibrant Manolo Blahnik heels. Quite possibly our favourite bridal look to date Poppy Delevingne marries James Cook, 2014 Model Poppy wore a heavily-embellished couture Chanel gown, reminiscent of a design from the French fashion house's spring 2009 couture collection, to marry James Cook in London Grace Kelly marries Prince Rainier of Monaco, 1956 Grace Kelly also chose gown by Helen Rose who had dressed her in 'High Society' and 'The Swan'. The gown was the most expensive dress that Rose had ever made and consisted of a rounded collar, full skirt of ivory peau de soie, and a fitted bodice made from Brussels lace embroidered with seed pearls. The lace was over a century old and had flower designs in it. 25 yards of silk taffeta and 100 yards of silk net were used in the construction of the dress. Under her wedding gown, Grace's petticoats had tiny blue satin bows Priscilla Beaulieu marries Elvis Presley, 1967 Priscilla wore a floor-length wedding gown of her own design: white silk chiffon, with beaded yoke, trimmed in seed pearls and topped with a three-foot tulle veil secured by a rhinestone crown Kate Moss marries Jamie Hince, 2011 Kate Moss wore a stunning sheer bias-cut gown by John Galliano, embellished with gold beading for her fashionable wedding to rock star Jamie Hince Princess Margaret marries Earl of Snowdon Anthony Armstrong-Jones, 1961 Princess Margaret's wedding dress, designed by Norman Hartnell, was made from silk organza with 30 metres of fabric in the skirt alone. The embellishment was minimal to suit Margaret's delicate frame Cilla black marries Bobby Willis, 1969 After a low-key registry office wedding January 1969, Cilla Black headed back to Liverpool six weeks later a traditional white wedding. Not so traditional was Cilla's white mini dress with ostrich trim, a sixties marvel by John Bates Sara Buys marries Tom Parker-Bowles, 2005 Fashion writer Buys chose a strapless ivory Alexander McQueen fishtail dress Pattie Boyd marries George Harrison, 1966 "I bought a Mary Quant pinky-red shot-silk dress, which came to just above the knee, and I wore it with creamy stockings and pointy red shoes. On top, because it was January and cold, I wore a red fox-fur coat, also by Mary Quant, that George gave me." Pattie made George a black Mongolian lamb coat Jacqueline Bouvier marries John F Kennedy, 1953 Jacqueline Bouvier's wedding dress was designed by African-American fashion designer Ann Lowe. It was a ball gown of ivory silk taffeta with a huge round skirt which required 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta. The wedding gown took 2 months to complete. The full bouffant skirt had interwoven tucking bands and tiny wax flowers. Her grandmother's heirloom rose point lace veil was attached to her hair with orange blossoms amid a tiara of lace. The evening before the wedding she was given a diamond bracelet by John Kennedy and a diamond pin by the Kennedy parents Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias marries Mick Jagger, 1971 Possibly the most iconic wedding outfit ever, Bianca decided against a traditional wedding dress for her marriage to Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, opting instead for a white Le Smoking jacket by Yves Saint Laurent with nothing underneath, and a long white skirt. She topped the look off with a large white floppy '70s hat, with a plain white veil over, and a floral corsage on her left wrist Joan Crawford in film The Bride Wore Red, 1937 Hollywood actress Joan Crawford wore a sparkling scarlett beaded gown with coordinating diamante clasp cape by Adrian Katy England marries Bobby Gillespie, 2006 Fashion stylist Katy England married Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie in a bespoke gown by Alexander McQueen with diagonal pink candy stripes Princess Elizabeth marries Prince Philip, 1947 Norman Hartnell was chosen to design Princess Elizabeth's ivory satin wedding dress which was covered with pearl embroidery in a floral design.He cited as his inspiration Botticelli's painting of Primavera. The rich dress of duchesse satin contrasts with the white seed pearls, imported from America, silver thread, sparkling crystal and transparent appliqué tulle embroidery. Attached at the shoulders was a magnificent 13-foot silk tulle full court train, embroidered in pearl, crystal and appliqué duchesse satin. The ensemble was completed by a silk tulle veil and ivory duchesse satin high-heeled sandals, trimmed with silver and seed pearl buckles, made by Edward Rayne Sharon Tate marries Roman Polanski, 1968 Sharon Tate chose a very '60s pearl trimmed satin minidress with puff-sleeves and a turtle neck for her marriage to film director Roman Polanski. She accessoriesed with flowers in her hair Wallis Simpson marries Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, 1937 Wallis Simpson wore a simple and beautifully chic Mainboucher dress in pale blue silk. The colour was custom made and named 'Wallis blue' Kristen McMenamy marries Miles Aldridge, 1999 Top model Kristen McMenamy walked up the aisle with German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld in a one-shoulder draped chiffon dress Lagerfeld had designed for her (in a fabric dyed to match her pale skin) and a feather headdress by Philip Treacy Audrey Hepburn marries Fred Astaire in Funny Face, 1957 Astaire was the luckiest man in Hollywood, also getting to marry Audrey Hepburn in the film Funny Face. Audrey wore Givenchy couture Mia Farrow marries Frank Sinatra, 1966 Sixties style icon, actress Mia Farrow, chose a chic and moddish mini skirt suit to complement her elfin crop for her 'quickie' marriage to Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas Yoko Ono marries John Lennon, 1969 Yoko Ono married Beatles musician John Lennon in a short shift dress with knee-high boots Kate Middleton marries Prince William, 2011 Surely the most talked about and admired wedding dress of a generation, Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen gown by creative director Sarah Burton drew nothing but admiration and spawned a 100 knock-offs. The fitted lace bodice and veil were painstakingly hand-engineered (appliquéd) by the Royal School of Needlework using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s. Individual flowers have been hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design, which incorporates the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock. The whole process was overseen and put together by hand by Ms Burton and her team whose assignment was the best kept secret in fashion Marilyn Monroe marries Joe DiMaggio, 1954 For her wedding to baseball player Joe DiMaggio, Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe chose an unconventional brown suit with a white mink-collar. The suit sold for $33,350 at a Sotheby's auction in New York in 1998 Keira Knightley marries James Righton, 2013 British actress Keira Knightley, 28, married her singer boyfriend James Righton, 29, in the south of France on May 4. The bride wore a knee-length dress by Chanel, accessorised with the French fashion house's classic bouclé-style jacket in a pastel hue, ballet pumps and a flower garland in her hair Audrey Hepburn marries Andrea Dotti, 1969 For Audrey Hepburn's second wedding, Hepburn opted for a simple pale pink dress with matching hood by Hubert de Givenchy Carolyn Bessette marries John Kennedy Jr, 1996 Carolyn Bessette wore a custom made Cerruti gown for her big day back in 1996, a beautiful bias cut silk dress accompanied by translucent white gloves Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image

Today's network printers may still look like printers and copiers, but they have hard drives -- which means that, like desktop, notebook and server computers, and external storage, they can contain sensitive data, which should not be accessible to inappropriate users.
One company that's helping raise awareness of the issue, problems and solutions of data residing on printers and MFPs is Xerox Corporation, with an ongoing series of webinars and other events, including the webinar "Hard Disk Security Webinar: Is your confidential data at risk?" which the company conducts a few weeks ago for resellers, and has scheduled one for customers, for Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 10AM PT.
I spoke last week with one of the scheduled speakers, Larry Kovnat, Manager, Product Security at Xerox Corporation. (Here's a short video of Kovnat on this topic.
Because these devices have hard drives and CPUs, Kovnat points out. "This makes them intelligent nodes. We try and make sure people look at it this way."
This doesn't mean that these devices are inherently dangerous, but, says Kovnat, "they come with a set of risks that the plain old copier never had. And so they have to be managed, with awareness of those risks."
The risk in terms of hard drives or other non-volatile storage (meaning, storage where data doesn't disappear when the power is turned off) is protecting personal information and other sensitive data, from being accessed by inappropriate parties, whether over the network, or by removing the hard drive and examining it directly as if it were an external hard drive.
(For simplicity, "disk" and "hard drive" also means flash storage like a Compact Flash or Secure Digital card, or embedded flash RAM.)
Xerox's efforts to help ensure the security of data on printers and MFPs includes providing it in their products, and helping customers be aware of these features, and why and how to use them.
First, says Kovnat, users need to understand why there are disks in these devices. "Typically, this is more an issue for MFPs than printers, although those may have disks, too. As a device becomes more complex -- has more functions -- it may need this internal storage."
A hard drive, for one thing, lets a machine server multiple users -- lets them "submit" and queue jobs, which get "buffered" -- stored -- on the hard drive until their turn comes to be printed. "The disk is a FIFO -- First-In, First-Out -- buffer," says Kovnat. "To let the machine serve multiple clients, you need some way to manage the incoming throughput. It establishes a print server, a queue, and uses the disk to buffer the jobs." The device may also need to save data to if it's doing image processing, like turning a file into a MARC file before printing it.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

As I begin what will be my seventh (!) decade as a Catholic, I find that I am less and less sure of what Catholics believe.
Oh, I know our opinions. Especially regarding any topic that touches on politics. I know what prolife Catholics believe and I know what prochoice Catholics believe. I know where the church stands on women priests, contraception, homosexuality, the death penalty, just and unjust war, gun rights (although, actually, I wish I heard a little bit more about where my prolife church stands on guns), immigration—and I'm well aware of how and why and to what divergent degrees my fellow Catholics agree or disagree on all these matters.
I also know our good works. I know that the generation of Catholics that follows mine has embraced social justice in a way that fills me with pride and admiration. I know that among my fellow Catholics there is a quiet and continual spirit of generosity and compassion that feeds the hungry and houses the homeless and keeps vibrant any number of Catholic schools and Catholic hospitals, missions, shelters, organizations, places to come to. I know we strive to be a generous and loving people.
But I suppose what I have become less sure of is why.

The haggling to avert a fiscal cliff brings more movement, with President Obama offering to limit tax increases to those earning over $400K - up from his long-held desire of $250K but well below John Boehner's proposal of $1M. The latter's aides say the offer represents "a step in the right direction" but is too heavy on the tax revenues and too light on the spending cuts.

all you have to do is break down the various charges and apply them individually. say you have two homes and a cottage. that's three homes, each needing policing and fire, inspection and sewage and the other services.
Because some taxes are only a small portion of what is needed does not mean they should be ignored. (Taxes on those making over a certain amount) Many small portions of spending cuts, efficiency improvements, and increases in age for Social Security and Medicare would solve the problem. Robbing Medicare to pay for Affordable Health Care was improper.

Billy, you are dead on in your response, which was based on facts rather than simply what someone wants. To bad facts are totally irrelevant in American politics.

Must Cadets Endure Religious Pressure?
In regard to "The Military Balance of Faith and Freedom" by David Skeel (Houses of Worship, Dec. 28):
Mr. Skeel, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, argues that the military should get a pass when it comes to mandatory religious observance and proselytizing because the military has a singular religious culture. He suggests that Blake Page, the cadet who resigned from West Point due to enforced sectarian religious observance and proselytism at the academy, was unjustified in his criticism, as was the Air Force Academy cadet who complained about "widespread pressure to convert to Christianity." He says they were not justified in attempting to protect their secular or their own religious beliefs. Prof. Skeel overlooks the fact that the proselytizing officers at the military academies have complete power over the cadet's intended future career. The same is true with serving military personnel who don't conform to religious pressure.
It is as if Prof. Skeel sought to impose a religious belief or observance or political creed on his law students with the obvious threat over their grades and class standing, i.e., their careers. But his students can drop his course or change law schools; the cadet's career can be destroyed by forced religious intrusion. I suggest to Prof. Skeel that freedom in America will not be compromised if these practices stop.

In this review problems concerning diagnosis and therapy of submucous myomas are discussed. In abnormal blood loss, especially during menstrual periods, it is probable that the submucous locations of fibroids have the strongest relationship with the symptoms. Both in diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, in the past decennium, a wide range of fine tuning has been developed that has changed dramatically the optimal management of submucous myomas and, therefore, of bleeding abnormalities during premenopause. Over-treatment can thus be prevented: for instance, hysterectomy in menorrhagia caused by a small pedunculated submucous fibroid. New modalities of minimally invasive treatment, however, have specific intrinsic problems that justify the development of protocols for these techniques. For the diagnosis of submucous myoma, and preceding operative treatment, intrauterine diagnosis through ultrasound or hysteroscopic imaging is mandatory. Hysteroscopic treatment of submucous myomas is the method of preference, unless the abnormality is too large or too numerous. Various practical aspects of treatment are discussed. Surgery for abnormalities that are not included in the basic training package according to Goals for the education of gynaecologists, ought to be performed by a gynaecologist with additional training and experience.

I have a situation in Visual C++ 2008 that I have not seen before. I have a class with 4 STL objects (list and vector to be precise) and integers.
It has a method:
inline int id() { return m_id; }
The return value from this method is corrupt, and I have no idea why.
I'd like to believe its a stack smash, but as far as I know, I have no buffer over-runs or allocation issues.
Some more observations Here's something that puts me off. The debugger prints right values in the place mentioned // wrong ID.
m_header = new DnsHeader();
if (m_header->init(bytes, size))
eprintf("0The header ID is %d\n", m_header->id()); // wrong ID!!!
inside m_header->init()
m_qdcount = ntohs(h->qdcount);
m_ancount = ntohs(h->ancount);
m_nscount = ntohs(h->nscount);
m_arcount = ntohs(h->arcount);
eprintf("The details are %d,%d,%d,%d\n", m_qdcount, m_ancount, m_nscount, m_arcount);
// copy the flags
// this doesn't work with a bitfield struct :(
// memcpy(&m_flags, bytes + 2, sizeof(m_flags));
//unpack_flags(bytes + 2); //TODO
m_init = true;
eprintf("Assigning an id of %d\n", m_id); // Correct ID.
m_header->id() is an inline function in the header file
inline int id() { return m_id; }
I don't really know how best to post the code snippets I have , but here's my best shot at it. Please do let me know if they are insufficient:
DnsHeader has an object
m_header inside
Main body:
DnsPacket *p ;
p = new DnsPacket(r);
assert (_CrtCheckMemory());
p->add_bytes(buf, r); // add bytes to a vector m_bytes inside DnsPacket
if (p->parse())
read_packet(sin, *p);
size_t size = m_bytes.size(); // m_bytes is a vector
unsigned char *bytes = new u_char[m_bytes.size()];
copy(m_bytes.begin(), m_bytes.end(), bytes);
m_header = new DnsHeader();
eprintf("m_header allocated at %x\n", m_header);
if (m_header->init(bytes, size)) // just set the ID and a bunch of other ints here.
size_t pos = DnsHeader::SIZE; // const int
if (pos != size)
; // XXX perhaps generate a warning about extraneous data?
if (ok)
m_parsed = true;
m_parsed = false;
if (!ok) {
m_parsed = false;
return m_parsed;
DnsHeader& h = p.header();
eprintf("The header ID is %d\n", h.id()); // ID is wrong here
DnsHeader constructor:
m_id = -1;
m_qdcount = m_ancount = m_nscount = m_arcount = 0;
memset(&m_flags, 0, sizeof(m_flags)); // m_flags is a struct
m_flags.rd = 1;
return *m_header;
m_header->init: (u_char* bytes, int size)
header_fmt *h = (header_fmt *)bytes;
m_id = ntohs(h->id);
eprintf("Assigning an id of %d/%d\n", ntohs(h->id), m_id); // ID is correct here
m_qdcount = ntohs(h->qdcount);
m_ancount = ntohs(h->ancount);
m_nscount = ntohs(h->nscount);
m_arcount = ntohs(h->arcount);

Teacher banned for one year after admitting to 'overly familiar' friendship with student
- From: The Courier-Mail
- October 23, 2012
A TEACHER has been banned after buying a pregnancy test kit for a 12-year-old student who claimed to have been sexually abused.
The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal was told the teacher became overly familiar a former Year 7 student and discussed "deeply personal issues including sexual abuse and pregnancy" after becoming Facebook friends.
QCAT acting senior member Michelle Howard, in a just-published decision, said the teacher had accepted his behaviour had been unprofessional and that he failed to report the alleged abuse of the child as required.
The Courier-Mail has chosen to identify the teacher only as SJC, although the tribunal has named the man in full despite its imposition of an order preventing publication of any details which may identify the Year 7 student or the school concerned.
Ms Howard said the matter was referred to the tribunal after a complaint made by the Queensland College of Teachers.
"QCT alleges that under the Education (Queensland College of Teachers) Act 2005 (the Act), (SJC) is not suitable to teach ... because he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a former student and did not report suspected harm to her," Ms Howard said.
"(SJC's) employment was terminated in August 2011 following the events."
Ms Howard said SJC admitted the allegations made against him.
"(SJC) accepts that he engaged in an unprofessional and/or an overly familiar relationship over the period of December 2010 to January 2011 with a 12-year-old former student ... and failed to report suspected harm to her arising from disclosures made to him by the former student," she said.
The tribunal said SJC, in a bid to avoid detection, did warn the girl about the possibility of losing his job if she divulged information about their Facebook conversations.
Other unprofessional behaviour involved SJC picking up the child without parental consent and "hugging her several times" and giving her a "pregnancy test kit".
The tribunal banned SJC from reapplying to teach before December 14 this year and imposed numerous conditions, including complying with recommendations made by a psychologist.

Maria, 7, and Lupe, 3, are our next-door neighbors. For some reason, they have decided they like coming to our house. I'm not exactly sure why, we have nothing that I would consider appealing to a 3- and 7-year-old, but they come ... almost daily. Because of this, and our history with their family over the past few years, we have gotten to know their story quite intimately.
Posting an unpopular position in a blog post online can be a bone jarring hit to your ego. Many people will come out of the woodwork to claim you have brain damage. Such was the result of my post last year about no longer supporting football on Christian grounds. I stopped watching football because of the new research that shows that playing the game will, in most cases, lead to brain damage. I could not, in good Christian conscience, support such suffering simply for my watching pleasure.
Eat Pray Love the movie has the makings of a summer hit, with Julia Roberts as its star and Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling book as its source material.
The book was something of a phenomenon when it was published in 2006: instantly popular and penned by an accomplished writer (a finalist for the National Book Award in 2002) who was immensely likeable on the talk-show circuit.

I'm not going to say this year flew by quickly. That's what everyone says at the end of December. But I will say, looking back at the last 12 months, that I'm overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of life a person lives in one year. The trips, the work, the conversations, the movies, the driving, the meals: time keeps coming, and we keep spending it, until, one day, it doesn't. Just like that. Years flash through our fingers like sand, pouring quickly, quickly, and we never know when it will stop, so instead we live like it won't, and yet there's this reality, ever present, that there's nothing any of us can do to slow things down. Another year is gone, and here we are, standing face to face with the next one, considering, the way we do at the close of December, even if only for a moment, what we will do with it. So in the spirit of looking back---for a better way of looking forward---and inspired by a post I wrote at the end of 2009, I'm bringing you a roundup of articles from the past … [Read more...]

Merry Christmas! (+ A Blogger Recipe Roundup!)
Christmas is always the time of year when our cup feels especially full, what with the visits to family and gifts being exchanged, but, in fact, it's our entire month that's been filled with good gifts. Around here, December has meant cloudy Sunday afternoons walking around downtown Franklin, cozy nights doodling and watching Christmas movies, trimming a tree and, now this week, trips to Ohio and Chicago. What's more, as 2012 comes to a close, we're looking back at a long list of good meals, many of which were inspired by friends in the blogging world. So as we wish the happiest of Christmases to each of you, we're also including a roundup of recipes we've tried this year and loved---scroll to the bottom of the post for links! … [Read more...]
Favorite [Packaged] Snacks
It's almost Christmas! While we're hitting the road for Ohio, we thought we might share a roundup of some of our favorite packaged snack-type products (proof that we don't make everything we eat). When we're road-tripping like we are this weekend, when we're out for the night and want a snack, when we're stuffing stockings, when we're looking for a special treat that we don't want to spend an hour making, it's usually one of these products we reach for, and, while none of these companies has sent us their products free, paid us to promote them or in any other way requested that we mention them here, we're sharing them because we think they're just that good*. All made of whole foods, with short ingredients lists you can pronounce and easily recognize, they're also the kind of snack foods you don't have to feel any guilt about choosing. … [Read more...]
Instagram Book Giveaway from Artifact Uprising!
I've got to be honest with you and say my thoughts are still with Newtown today, but I'm bringing you a fun, light, pretty giveaway from a company I like that has a gorgeous aesthetic anyway because, as Kathryn White put it so well yesterday, "there is a place for the trivial, the normal, the happy humdrum of daily life---even in great sadness." Even as we weep with those who weep and even as we seek evidences of light, we also dwell in our little worlds and look for ways to be light, in big things and small, in petitions and days of silence and blog posts and prayer and hugging our families and offering a hand to hold, to look for ways to call out truth and goodness and beauty and love, to look for ways to give and to help and to point to the lovely. This is our pointing to the lovely, right now, today. If you already follow us on Instagram, you know how we love using the network to share moments of beauty from our everyday lives---what we're eating for breakfast, the light in … [Read more...]
Lemon Almond Coconut Macaroons
Edit: I wrote this post before the Newtown tragedy Friday afternoon, but, reading back over it now, I'm struck by how much I need the reminder all over again---to look for the good in people helping, praying, loving; to recognize the darkness that brings murder and heartbreak and how it is so not at all the voice of Light. It feels wrong not to acknowledge the pain that the affected families of children and teachers are facing today. We wish we could do more. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Newtown. Some days, I'm overwhelmed by the lack of love in the world: the snubbing, the name-calling, the pushing, the overlooking, the thoughtlessness human beings show to one another. For as many of you as relate to a genuine curiosity and interest in other people like I mentioned in the last post, there are others who don't, who never turn their eyes outward, who come to the party and talk but never listen, who sit near you at a table and stare sullenly ahead, who learn your name … [Read more...]
Coconut Milk Mexican Flan (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
I go to used bookstores for the same reason I look into windows when we're driving down residential streets at night: I like to imagine the people inside. The same way I fix my gaze on the warm glow of a table illuminated by candlelight or the man who's sitting in his recliner all alone, I pick up a hardcover, tracing over the handwriting, wondering about the person who underlined that passage or the reader who signed her name in this front flap. This might be what I love about the first-edition copy of The Art of Mexican Cooking, written by Jan Aaron and Georgine Sachs Salom, that I found at McKay Used Book Store Friday Night. Published in 1965, this beauty has all the earmarks of another era, one in which American women still wore skirts and aprons to make dinner and in which Mexican food (along with other ethnic cuisines) was just beginning to enter the conversation. There are hand-drawn illustrations at the division pages, created by artist Dierdre Stanforth, the same … [Read more...]
Joanna Linberg's Cajun Sweet Potato Fries
If my life were a novel, the way I found Joanna Linberg's blog, Honey & Salt would be a classic example of foreshadowing. Picture it: November 2010. I'm posting some scattered thoughts on thankfulness (or, really, unthankfulness) here at the blog. Three days later, unbeknownst to me, a magazine editor from Iowa links to that post in a roundup at her site, sending a pingback to my email inbox, landing me on her thoughtful piece of the Internet; I start reading her blog; we become friends; we visit each other; we cry in my kitchen; we write letters; and now, here I am, bringing you a sweet potato recipe from the woman I would now call one of the most thankful people I know. You probably remember Joanna---the Joanna of Brad and Joanna, the friends we went to see in St. Louis last month? She could just as easily be called the Full of Wisdom Joanna or the Writes Beautiful Letters Joanna or the Joanna Who Points Me to Truth and Gratitude Every Time We Talk.
