Journal Journal: Overheard in my office just now
(Someone speaking to an intern): "When you send stuff like that, save it as doc, not odt. That way, people who don't have Openoffice can open it."

Here are six files for ya, showing a problem in 3 different scripting languages. What will they do?
--------- test1.php:
require 'test2.php';
define('SOMECONSTANT','hello world');
function foo() {
return SOMECONSTANT;
echo foo(); echo "\n";
--------- test2.php:
require_once 'test1.php';
echo foo(); echo "\n";
--------- test1.py:
import test2
SOMECONSTANT='hello world'
def foo():
return SOMECONSTANT
print foo()
--------- test2.py:
import test1
print test1.foo()
--------- test1.rb:
require 'test2.rb'
SOMECONSTANT='hello world'
def foo
puts foo()
--------- test2.rb:
require 'test1.rb'
puts foo()
Ok, scriptfiends, predict the output of these three commands:
php -q -f test1.php
python test1.py
ruby test1.rb
and then do some pasting and try it out. Match your predictions?
The PHP one bit me pretty hard today.
I have a password written on a post-it note underneath my keyboard. Decades went by without this ever having happened, but now I have one of these. [rationalize]And I'm keeping the post-it, because it'll probably be months or years before I ever need that password again, so there's just no chance I'll be able to remember it (it's actually a pretty well-made password).[/rationalize] OTOH, I suppose I could just throw it away and then the next time I need it, ask someone for it again. [truth]But no, it amuses me that I've entered the ranks of people with passwords on post-its at their desks, so I'm keeping it, for that reason if nothing else.[/truth]
I've long advocated that the future of video delivery should either be multicast, or old-school protocols like HTTP combined with caching at the ISP. (Why all ISPs don't run transparent Squids, I still don't understand.) Bittorrent just isn't the right way to do it.
Thanks to Freedom To Tinker I've just learned that someone is using multicast to deliver TV.
Except it's not available in my area, and still requires propriety DVRs/STBs, which I assume means that it probably uses DRM and therefore has massive interoperability problems.
But it's a start. I hadn't heard of anyone actually doing it, before now.
I was writing a function in PHP4 and it kept getting bigger. It could use some splitting up for readability/testing/debugging purposes, although it didn't really need that to work. But then I realized I needed to reuse some sections of code, and since I hate duplicating code, those parts needed to be pulled out into their own functions.
But they needed access to the working set of local variables of the big function. Oh great.. do I pass all those vars by reference, making the argument list really long? Do I move all those variables into a struct (well, an associative array) and pass that?
These are, like, Programming 101 issues. Experienced programmers don't normally have to think about this stuff, because the right thing to do is just
Then I remembered that Pascal has the unusual (and rarely(*) needed) feature of nested procedures, where the sub-procedures can directly access the outer scope's local variables. It dawned on me: that would be incredibly convenient (and readable) in this case.
I wussed out and put everything into a class. It's not really oop (all this class does, is return a result) but that looked like the best way to deal, except now I have an ugly this-> in front of everything.
(*) I haven't programmed in Pascal (or anything like it) in over 20 years. Never really missed that feature until today.
It's bad enough when you're actually serving the data from your own site but it's in some form where you can't audit it. That's one of the many reasons I hate Flash.
But even Javascript sucks, when you <script src="someothersite">. The moment you do that, you know that all sorts of horrible things can go wrong. You just have to have faith. Faith is what it comes down to. And it can be justified, I guess, because you can get away with it for years.
Until this morning when our webpage was only showing for a second and then the whole thing would then redirect to someone else's site. Adios, visitors.
(What actually happened: the domain we were including from, apparently expired and now any http request goes to a Network Solutions page, instead of returning a DNS error like it should. Fuck you, Network Solutions, as if we didn't already know you're evil and dangerous. But the same risk remains even if someone's domain doesn't expire; they can always serve a different script today than they did yesterday, and that script can do anything with the DOM that it wants to. There's no way to sandbox it.)
It's "standard practices" to include external scripts. Everyone does it. The ad people aren't techies; if I were to tell them, "uh, we don't want to include any external scripts that might change from load-to-load, and we also don't want to include any Flash crap unless we've compiled it from readable, auditable source ourselves," they would think I'm crazy. You know, one of those open source fanatics. They would say, "Gee, that's a shame you don't want the money," and go on sending the same dangerous ads to our competitors while we collect nothing.
Is it really an unreasonable weirdo religious fanatic position, to just want to be able to make sure that stuff will work and not do anything crazy? I don't think so. The fucking "standard practices" need to change, but how can one person do that? *sigh* I feel so powerless.
Out of the blue, I got an email from my mom. She's been corresponding with someone about some sensitive things, and asked how to encrypt her emails.
My writeup is 9 paragraphs long. *sigh* There's so way she's really going to be able to do all that without me eventually going over there.
This is on Mac OS X. Sheesh. A Unix that doesn't come with gpg out-of-the-box, and the preloaded mailer (mail.app) needs a hard-to-maintain 3rd-party hack just to get basic functionality: you call this "just works?"
I don't wanna turn this into a specifically-Apple flame (I know of another high-marketshare desktop OS maker that also makes some pretty shitty apps), so I'll just make this generic comment: mail encryption is a very fundamental thing and it's ridiculous for it to not be built into all desktops. That's like a web browser that can't talk https. The howto I sent to my mom should have been about key exchange issues, not installing plugins. It's a disgrace for any mailer to not have this. This kind of shit is half the reason crypto goes unused by so many people. It's a pain in the ass not just because of the complex concepts (e.g. learning how to exchange keys safely) but because the most highly-deployed apps don't even work as-is.
..a character was a byte, and you always knew what that byte meant, and you didn't have to worry about what database library the script interpreter was compiled against, and in turn what character sets the database library was compiled with support for? Remember when what you saw on the screen was the same as the underlying data?
How I long for those days. *sigh*
One of the things that annoyed the hell out of me when I made the "big switch" around 2000-2002 from AmigaOS to Linux, is the dynamic scheduling. I'm pretty sure I've bitched in my
Hey, when I "nice" a time-consuming process, I fucking expect it to not slow my computer down, no matter how CPU-intense it is. That's how it was on AmigaOS: I could run as many tasks as I wanted, and as long as I gave them a priority lower (or was it higher, damn I don't remember the specifics) than 0, it had absolutely no impact on the responsiveness of the computer, and anything that I ran at a normal priority, ran just as fast as it would if I hadn't been running those other tasks at all. That's the joy of an absolute scheduler: it starves the low-priority tasks, and as a user that's what I want.
But all the so-called "modern" systems after the 1980s, from OS/2 to Windows to Linux (and now Mac OS as of version 10) totally fuck this up.
My Mac here at work runs a long job every morning, that I have niced. When it's running, the whole damn machine feels sluggish and -- seriously -- I can out-type the speed at which my fucking keystrokes are appearing in this fucking web browser's textarea. It is so utterly ridiculous that a 1.5GHz machine can't run as fast as 50 MHz Amiga.
Niced processes should starve if there's anything better to do. Absolutely starve. That is a good thing, not a bad thing.
But can Unix have this? Nooooo, because something (I don't know what) might deadlock (at least according to Linus, when the topic comes up in the context of Linux). Well, get your locks sorted out, Unixheads, so that maybe someday Unix can run as fast as an Amiga that has a tenth of the processing power.
I would never see it again.
It's destroyed. A fire erupted at about 6 this morning (WTF happened?!). When I walked by it again on my way to work a few hours later, it was totally gutted. I could see right through the front of the building, out into the parking lot behind it.
So.. a bar burned down. What's the big deal? It's just a bar, right? No. This place was special. It was fucking gorgeous, easily the nicest-looking bar in Albuquerque. Classically decorated decades ago.. timeless. Red velvet-covered walls, chandeliers, tin roof, the Puccini opera posters -- they're gone.
I saw many many shows there, mostly metal. I particularly remember one snowy Tuesday night about 4 years ago, seeing my favorite local band, Wisdom of the Leech. I was the only fan who showed up, and they still played for me.
I had my first Bridgeport IPA there. It happened after I tried a "new" (at the time) awful-tasting cloyingly-sweet stout (I won't name names), and I had to wash the taste out of my mouth. "Do you have any IPAs?" I asked. I wasn't even a hophead at the time; I just wanted some bitterness. Mathias served me a Bridgeport and I fell in love with it. Over the next few years, I didn't even have to order; Ryan or Christine would see me and start walking to the right tap.
I've brought dates there, been shot down there, got "lucky" there, sulked there, and celebrated there. And rocked, rocked, and rocked.
Read the musicians' reactions at rocksquawk, see photos at The Alibi. KOB, New Mexico Business Weekly.
The Launchpad, next door and also damaged, is closed for a few months too. It will be back. Serious doubts about the Golden West, though, and even if they rebuild, it won't be the same. It was the one bar where the original fixtures will actually be missed. Every other place in this town was replaceable. That one wasn't.
I've had to write a bunch of bash scripts at work lately, and they're all long pipelines.
No threads, no shared memory, no dealing with (or even having to think about) race conditions, no complications. Just lots of processes connected with pipes.
But if I were to write the same stuff in a "real language," it probably wouldn't have been as parallel. I'd just have a big loop that does a bunch of things to one chunk of data at a time, instead of a bunch of processes at that do one thing at a time.
I wonder if there's something wrong with "real languages" -- something that the "Unix philosophy" got right, yet rarely trickles up into bigger apps, where you'd think there would be even more opportunity to parallelize, not less. Hmm.
I work at a place that runs a fairly (locally) popular website. We sometimes get orders for ads from a company who just gave us one of these to run. I gather that the behavior in question is intermittent, so it was just dumb luck that it happened to me, so that I realized WTF was going on and killed it.
So they aren't screening this stuff, huh? That means I have to? Shit. I don't know how to screen for this. I hate Flash. I hated it before, but now I really fucking hate Flash.
The Larry Craig thing happened weeks ago, but it's just now hitting its stride. I got a double-barrel blast of absurdity this morning.
First, one of my cow-orkers reviewed the Minneapolis airport men's bathroom. Too funny.
But it gets even more absurd, in an ACLU quotation from this USA Today article:
Instead of having an undercover officer "trap" people in the bathroom, Romero says the airport should put up a sign that prohibits customers from having sex in the men's room.
For some reason, this reminds me of the Beagle Bros floppy warnings, like for example, don't feed your floppies to an alligator. I wonder if we're seeing the genesis of complete list of activities that are prohibited in airport bathrooms. Until we have that list, you might want to think twice before you shoot up any heroin, wager on a dogfight, or run a child-labor sweatshop in an airport bathroom.
DVD rentals suck. They're always scratched, and the DVD player has a fit over it. How can I possibly spend another dime on this shit and keep my self-respect?
Well, that's it, then. I give up.
A modified quote from another movie: the more you clench your fist, the more customers will slip through your fingers. This is why piracy -- no more fragile media, no more DRM -- is the best way. It's not even about ripping them off -- it's about not getting ripped off. Fuck it. I really tried. I give up.
I've seen the movie; I know how it ends. Doesn't matter; this bullshit spoiled it. I was trying to show it to a friend.
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.

Facebook's Hotel California: Cross-Site Tracking and the Potential Impact on Digital Privacy Legislation
Tracking of Logged Out Users
For its 800 millions users, logging out of Facebook is not something done idly. Closing the Facebook tab won't do it. Closing your browser won't do it unless you've adjusted the settings in your browser to clear cookies upon closing. And Facebook has buried the log-out button so that it isn't apparent from your Facebook main page or profile page. This doesn't mean that logging out of Facebook is difficult; it's not. But this does indicate that when someone logs out of Facebook, they are doing so purposefully. They aren't just stepping outside of Facebook; they're closing the door behind them.
EFF and other privacy and consumer groups like Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and Consumer Action have publicly responded to industry allegations that effective privacy regulations would harm the economy and innovation. A letter by sixteen trade groups—including the American Advertising Federation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—addressed to party heads of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, urged senators to ignore needed changes in privacy laws. The privacy coalition took issue with these claims, pointing to the very real privacy harms suffered by consumers online. Currently, most users are unaware of the pervasive nature of online tracking—and have no way to stop it. Helping consumers feel confident in their privacy will encourage innovation in the digital environment, spurring a robust online economy.
How Would the Kerry-McCain "Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights" Affect State Security and Privacy Laws?
We've previously written about the Kerry-McCain "Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights," which tries to create a general federal privacy framework rooted in the Fair Information Practices (although we're not sure how well it succeeds). Currently, federal privacy law is sector-specific, often applying only to certain types of information or certain categories of "covered entities," and thus leaving gaps in privacy protection. A good comprehensive federal privacy law could fill those gaps.
On Tuesday, Senators John McCain and John Kerry introduced the long-awaited Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights, a sweeping bill that covers online and offline data collection, retention, use, and dissemination practices. Unfortunately, the bill may fall short of what's needed to protect our privacy.

Lawyers can use "cloud computing" to provide software and store records but must take reasonable steps to ensure than information remains confidential, according to a suggested Bar ethics opinion.
The Professional Ethics Opinion on January 25 approved Proposed Advisory Opinion 12-3. It is published in an official notice in this News. If there are comments filed within 30 days, the committee will review those at its June meeting at the Bar's Annual Convention.
If there are no comments, the opinion will be forwarded to the Bar Board of Governors.
The committee had asked the board to direct it to prepare the opinion and the board agreed.
As the proposed opinion notes: "Because cloud computing involves the use of a third party as a provider of services and involves the storage and use of data at a remote location that is also used by others outside an individual law firm, the use of cloud computing raises ethics concerns of confidentiality, competence, and proper supervision of nonlawyers."
Cloud computing gives lawyers the ability to access records from laptops, tablets, and smartphones and also protects records from being lost if a law office is damaged by a hurricane or fire. But because the records and software are stored by a third party at a remote location, lawyers must work to see that the information and client confidences are protected.
Several other states, the proposed opinion says, have found that the use of cloud computing is ethically acceptable as long as precautions are taken. The opinion notes, for example, that the Iowa Bar described the goal as: "[L]awyers must be able to access the lawyer's own information without limit, others should not be able to access the information, but lawyers must be able to provide limited access to third parties to specific information, yet must be able to restrict their access to only that information."
New York listed three obligations for attorneys: Ensuring that the provider can preserve confidentiality and security, including informing the lawyer if there is a subpoena seeking information in those records; reviewing the provider's security procedures; and using available technology to protect "against reasonably foreseeable" attempts to infiltrate the offsite records.
"This committee agrees with the advice given by both Iowa and New York State," the proposed opinion says. "Additionally, this committee believes that the lawyer should consider whether the lawyer should use the outside service provider or use additional security in specific matters in which the lawyer has proprietary client information or has other particularly sensitive information."
The committee struck proposed language that in such cases the lawyer should disclose and get the client's consent before using cloud computing, which otherwise would not be needed. Also struck was a sentence that the lawyer may not use cloud computing if the client specifically objects.
"In summary, lawyers may use cloud computing if they take reasonable precautions to ensure that confidentiality of client information is maintained," the opinion says. "The lawyer should research the service provider to be used, should ensure that the service provider maintains adequate security, should ensure that the lawyer has adequate access to the information stored remotely, and should consider backing up the data elsewhere as a precaution."

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
As we approach the end of 2016, it's disturbing to note the wide variety of ways in which government transparency has languished—even under an administration rhetorically committed to it. With the next administration poised to even further extend executive secrecy, it becomes ever more crucial for the courts and Congress to aggressively seek meaningful answers to questions for which the public deserves an answer.
Below are EFF's top 5 threats to transparency in 2016:
1) War on Whistleblowers
In 2016 we won one battle in the fight for the Open Internet – but several others are well underway and we expect Team Internet will have to mobilize once again to protect our gains and prevent further efforts to undermine network neutrality.
Almost two years ago, thanks in large part to a massive mobilization of Internet users, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) finally issued an Open Internet Order to protect net neutrality. While far from perfect, the new Order was on strong legal footing, with some limits in place to help prevent FCC overreach. Before the year was out, however, the battle for the Internet moved to the courts, as broadband providers tried to get a judge to derail the new rules. After months of wrangling, in June 2016 a federal appeals court instead approved the Order – a crucial win for Team Internet.
There are a lot of political uncertainties around the incoming Trump administration, but the threats to civil liberties are potentially greater than ever. President Obama failed to rein in the surveillance state, and Mr. Trump has nominated cabinet members like Mike Pompeo who are big fans of bulk surveillance. Now, given Mr. Trump's campaign posture of being a "law and order" candidate who has openly criticized Apple for standing up for strong encryption, tech companies need to be even more vigilant in fighting for their users in the courts.
A group of investors in AT&T have had it with the phone company's collaboration with law enforcement through the Hemisphere program, in which the company facilitates police access to trillions of phone records. At the spring shareholder conference, Zevin Asset Management plans to force discussion of contradictions between AT&T's stated commitment to privacy and civil liberties and the Hemisphere program. One of the chief goals is to demand greater transparency over the highly secretive program.
Thanks to our clients and friends at CREDO Mobile and the Internet Archive, EFF was able to shine a rare light on national security letters (NSLs) this week. The FBI uses NSLs to force Internet providers and telecommunications companies to turn over the names, addresses, and other records about their customers. NSLs almost always come with a secrecy provision that bars the companies—in violation of the Constitution—from publicly disclosing the requests. Worse still, NSL gags generally last forever and are imposed by the FBI without any mandatory court oversight.

A Coromandel real estate agent has "categorically" denied he forged a couple's signature on an official document and then relied on it to enforce a contract.
John Lloyd was found guilty of forgery by the Real Estate Agents Disciplinary Tribunal and could be fined up to $100,000.
Mr Lloyd, from Tairua, told APNZ he was innocent but could not afford a High Court appeal against the decision.
"We categorically deny everything, but we just haven't got the grunt to fight the people who have got the money to fight it."
Mr Lloyd met Colleen and Grant Calder in 2006, a couple interested in buying a semi-detached townhouse his company was building, according to the tribunal.
The proposal was that the Calders would work with Mr Lloyd on a design before buying the land and unit from him.
Mr Lloyd - who was working as a sole agent at the time but later worked for Richardsons Real Estate - prepared a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and emailed it to the Calders.
In his email, Mr Lloyd described the MoU as a document to "document past discussions, record the present and future outcomes for us both".
He suggested the Calders pay him $10,000 on the signing of the MoU.
However, Mrs Calder told the tribunal she did not like the terms of the MoU. They didn't sign it and paid him $5000.
In March 2008 the couple agreed to a design of the property and were told a resource consent had been obtained.
They entered into an agreement for sale and purchase, but differences arose between the parties and the Calders found out a resource consent had not been granted.
They cancelled the agreement in October 2008.
The couple were then sent a copy of the MoU by Mr Lloyd's lawyer, with a note that said: "You failed to make any mention in the Memorandum of Understanding signed sometime in May 2007."
A copy of the MoU was produced, which showed initials of all parties on page 2.
The Calders denied they had signed the page and in 2011 complained to the Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA).
The authority sent the document to a forensic document examiner who found the initials were probably forged.
The expert told the tribunal that under magnification pen marks could be seen where the person writing the initials had stopped and started which was very unusual on a genuine signature.
Mr Lloyd denied he had forged the documents, but said if he had he would have ensured that the agreement was signed on every page, and not just the second page.
The tribunal found Mr Lloyd forged the initials but dismissed a charge of disgraceful conduct.
No criminal charges had been laid against Mr Lloyd, and it was up to the Calders to complain to police if they wanted to, an REAA spokeswoman said.
The tribunal has asked for submissions from about the penalty Mr Lloyd will face.

Sharia law determines UK housing policy
Yet its aims are already being achieved as British culture adapts to accommodate the demands. There was no real concern when UK banks adjusted their financial dealings to accommodate Sharia constraints, but it is a significant shift when houses and prisons are being built in accordance with Qur'anic demands, and therefore specifically to accommodate Muslims who constitute just 3% of the population. Hizb ut Tahrir explains why this must be attained: 'Allah gives an answer to every possible question: how to deal with friends and neighbours, how to bring up children, even how to use the toilet - it's all in the Koran.'
And it is the Islamic toilet policy that is affecting British prisons and housing. Prisons are remodelling their toilets in order that they face away from Mecca, after complains from some inmates that they are forced to sit sideways. As Mohammed said: 'If you go to defecate, do not face the Qiblah nor turn your back toward it. Instead, you should turn to your left side or your right side.' One prison officer responded: 'If we weren't paying for it as taxpayers, I'd laugh my socks off.'
While it may be a concern that prison toilets are being conformed to the demands of the Sharia at the expense of the British taxpayer, it is even more significant that new housing is being constructed with up to seven bedrooms, to accommodate large family visitations, bathrooms that face away from Mecca, and kitchens that comply with halal demands.
According to Hizb ut Tahrir, an Islamic super-state will be created through evolution, not revolution. Such apparently trivial examples indicate that this is more a question of when, not if.

Highland Links
Truro, Massachusetts
This little-town nine-holer is not exactly golf-intense, but it's pure coastal bliss, with spectacular ocean views all around and a lighthouse right in the middle. Highland Links, a 120-year-old course in the two-traffic-light town of Truro, likes to keep things simple. From various spots along the breezy, firm, fescue-grass course, you can take in 20-mile views of the vast Atlantic, ever aware of the ancient sentry beside the seventh tee: the stout, well-maintained lighthouse depicted in Edward Hopper's 1930 watercolor Highland Light, North Truro.

Modeling and Inventories
Mobile Source Observation Database (MSOD)
The Mobile Source Observation Database (MSOD) is a relational database being developed by the Assessment and Standards Division (ASD) of the U.S. EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality (formerly the Office of Mobile Sources). Considerable knowledge of vehicle emission testing and of relational database design and query methods is required to make effective use of this database. It is not intended for the casual or novice user. The database has been designed and documented using entity-relationship data modeling methods.
The MSOD contains emission test data from in-use mobile air- pollution sources such as cars, trucks, and engines from trucks and nonroad vehicles. Data in the database was collected from 1982 to the present. While not a purely "random" sample, the data is intended to be representative of in-use vehicle emissions in the United States. Most of the data in the database is from EPA-sponsored test programs.
The database is implemented as a set of approximately 60 tables, supplemented by a larger number of small "translation" or "category" tables which define and explain the legal values for some of its individual data items. All tables are in standard database format (*.DBF) which is usable by a variety of software.
The database includes a User Guide and Reference Manual in PDF format. The Guide provides detailed information on the MSOD design and input data design. The User Guide also provides MSOD's input file structures which allow a user to use EPA's data checking quality control software to review emission data. While ASD is interested in comments and questions regarding the database, it can afford to provide only very limited support beyond this Guide to external users. A copy of the MSOD User Guide and Reference is available on the Modeling & Inventories web page.
While EPA has made considerable effort to assure the validity of the data in this database, the Agency is not responsible for the validity of conclusions reached by others using this data. New records are added continuously to the data sample, though EPA cannot guarantee that all currently available, relevant data is included in the database. Because additions and changes are being made to the database, those using it regularly may wish to request an updated copy every year or so.

In any case, thinking to call him out for his inappropriate behavior, I said, "Why would you call me over here for that? Aren't you married?" (Okay, so I was thinking on my feet and that's the best I could do, as I was taken quite by surprise.)
"Yes," he said, "my wife is Dutch... those Dutch women are good housekeepers!"
At that point, my Inner Feminist was ready to let loose and kick him a good one in the... shin, or whatever. I didn't want to get fired for assaulting a moron though, even one who was also a male chauvinist oinker, so I just went back to my desk and did my best to ignore him forever after.
Fast-forward to this morning, when I set out to learn a bit about the history of Schoharie County, New York, where my Efner ancestors lived during the first half of the 1800s. The population there was largely Dutch and German. I had to laugh when I read the following passage in History of Schoharie County, and Border Wars of New York--it was the last thing I expected to see in a history book:
I had occasion, in the fore part of this book, to speak of the cleanliness of the pioneer settlers, and now advert to that of their descendants—and in justice must observe, that few, if any districts can show a greater proportionate number of very tidy housekeepers, than may now be seen in the Schoharie valley.
Twice in a year, at least, Dr. Franklin's description of a house cleaning is realized, not only in the primitive Schoharie, but in the Mohawk river settlements. Every article of furniture, from the garret to the cellar, is then removed, that the place it occupied may be scrubbed. Lime is profusely used on such occasions, especially in the Spring, and it would be difficult to detect the track of a fly on a window, wall, or floor, after the operation. The description given by Brooks, in his travels in Europe, of the neatness of the people in some of the Dutch and German countries through which he traveled, is applicable, in many instances, to the people of Schoharie: for as he says—"It is scrub, scrub, scrub from morning till night—from pillar to post—where there is dirt, and where there is none." The Schoharie women usually cleanse their floors daily, sometime semi-daily, by a process they call filing, which is done with a piece of sacking retained in the hands instead of being secured to a mop-stick.
I just know there's gotta be an ironic punchline around here somewhere.

A couple of weeks ago was Imogen's first reception parent's evening and it went very well, in brief she's a confident little girl with a great group of friends and is doing well with her reading, writing and her number recognition. What did shock me, however, was that she uses computers regularly in school and is expected to use one at home as well, they will even be using tablets very soon, she's four years old!!!
After asking other parent's in the playground and other friends it appears that I am the only one with concerns over this, not even the mother of the child who can type his name but not yet write it is concerned. Technology plays a massive part in education and after researching the benefits of technology for children I am finally coming out from my cave and realising that what the school are doing is good thing. We live in a Internet age and there is lots of educational material that can be used to supplement curriculum material available via the Internet. As with anything I shall allow Imogen time restricted access to my laptop and the certain websites with my supervision. She's delighted with my decision and has already learnt a great deal.
Samsung have teamed up with the Institute of Play who are developing a way to teach the next generation of students by using technology, game-playing and interactivity to enhance the students learning experience.
This latest video from Samsung shows students playing Evoquest an adapted game for the Galaxy Note 10.1, in the game they chose genes to evolve creatures to a changing environment, possibly a bit too advanced for Imogen but I doubt it'll be long. The video also shows some of the great features of the Galaxy Note 10.1 including the S-Pen, S-Productivity and Quick Note, it looks like a great tablet and certainly something that's on my list this Christmas I'll just have to keep it away from Imogen, or will I?
For more information on the Galaxy Note 10.1 please take a look at here or follow Samsung through Twitter or Facebook.

XP to Linux Networking
New Linux guy here....
I am taking a computer forensics class and one of my assignments is to network a XP pro box to a Linux (Ubuntu) box and image the entire Linux hard drive.
Using a ethernet crossover cable, I was able to get the 2 machines to ping back and forth (after some trial and error). I also got the Linux box to see the XP C:\ drive and to access files on the XP box. But…I am still fighting to get the XP box to see anything on the Linux box. Because I'm doing a data forensics exercise, I do not want to download any kind of file sharing software on the Linux box. I know I should be able to do this, but I've been fighting with this piece of it for the better part of the evening and I'm to the point of asking for advise.

Will do... I've got the "nearly final" draft of the manuscript on my desk right now. I'm confident it will be published soon.

so my humble question1 - how did you simulate chewing exactly and did you soak in dog drool / slobber? I wondered if the drool hasened the leaching? Chessies I have, you know?They tested orange and white bumpers from two unidentified makers. The bumpers subjected to simulated chewing leached more BPA and phthalates than brand new bumpers and those left outside to weather for a month.
2 - would you know the country of origin of the unnamed bumper makers? would you tell us if you knew, at this time?

The answer is simple. Go green. The world we live in.
The ultimate bumper: a hybrid of sorts, tofu in the core, with an impervious outside layer of Nori (seaweed). Not trying to be a smart a@@@ but c'mon. Tired of ridiculous studies.
BTW ---I love my dogs too. Studies, even in humans can become very redundant and confusing.
Quandary: Coffee (caffeine) in the morning or not? It has been maligned and touted as a life extender.
Sticking with my traditional, possibly toxic bumpers. I hope there is no mold on them.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace ........If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where the heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.
Aldo Leopold
So now the dogs that are very birdy and don't care much for bumpers are actually just extra chemically sensitive and being "smart"?!
(if those dogs could talk, that would be their comment on the 'boring' bumpers!)
I'm not trying to get snarky. If this is a legit study I'm interested in the results. However, if you want a really good idea for a study how about researching what it is in tennis balls that is addicitive to Labs! They smell funny and they make my Labs nuts! I think they get a buzz on the dye or something in them. Or is it just their size, shape, and the rolling bouncing motion that gets them off?
Jeff Swackhamer
World is full of those snotty nosed rug rats right?
and those that breed um want a sippy cup with no poison getting into the darling youngster.
Yet I can walk my dog off lead to the line at a test while these same "breeders" have junior
on a leash at the wal-mart?
If its good enough for the future of mankind its good enough for my dog.

1) We simulated chewing with stainless steel metal salad tongs. While the bumpers were immersed in "simulated saliva" we squeezed them with the tongs. The simulated saliva formula was based on literature reports of actual saliva content and other published studies where simulated saliva was used for children's product testing. Perhaps we could get some fresh Chessie drool for our next study?
2) The purpose of our study was to get some idea about potential exposure. It was in no way intended to indict anyone, point fingers, etc. So with that said, I will tell you that (to the best of our ability to determine) neither brand was manufactured in the USA or Canada.
Swack -
Excellent point about tennis balls. We thought the same thing when we did our study. What is barely mentioned in the original EHO story is that another part of our study examined toys from a pet retailer. Our selection included tennis balls. The tennis balls contained very low concentrations of phthalates and BPA, but a separate bioassay indicated that they leached something that was highly estrogenic. Don't know what that was ....yet. Anyone got any ideas?
Ken -
Sorry, didn't see your question about my dogs. I have two finished labs, and run and judge HRC. Never been to an AKC event though I have no objection whatsoever to that particular venue. Would love to see a field trial up close some day.

The weekend of November 11 was truly magical at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure, in Orlando, Florida. The enchanting theme park was the setting for the celebration of the DVD and Blu-Ray Combo Pack release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
The festivities at the Wizarding World included special events attended by actors, producers and directors from the film series. Joining in on the fun were Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick/Griphook), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), and many more. They shared their favorite memories from the Potter set with TFK. (Scroll down—or click here and here—to watch the video interviews).
Making Movie Magic
The DVD release of the final Harry Potter film marks the end of an amazing series that started almost 11 years ago. In Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Harry Potter has his final showdown with Lord Voldemort. The battle between good and evil is unbelievable and the story ends in a way that leaves viewers satisfied.
The actors, producers and directors had much to say about their characters, their experiences over the years and leaving the wizarding world behind. Williams learned a lot from playing the head of the Weasley clan. "Working with the younger actors was the best," Williams said. "Their commitment and energy has taught me to really respect younger actors." One of those actors is Grint, who said that filming the last scene was very emotional. "[When] we had to cut for the last time, it was really a sad moment," he told TFK.
The battle at Hogwarts was a favorite scene among many of the actors. "It was a major scene and set. It was a great thing to put together," said Grint. Director David Yates favored the final fight scene between Harry and Voldemort. Balancing the action with the quieter moments in the film was a "very tricky and difficult to do," Yates said.
Even though the Harry Potter series is over, Isaacs has some thoughts about what happened to Lucius Malfoy at the end of Deathly Hallows: Part 2. "I think he was rejected by Draco and was never welcomed back to the dark side," Isaacs told TFK.
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was a box office hit. But will the movie win an Oscar? "We are going to try our best to push it to that type of recognition," producer David Barron said. "But we are extremely proud of this film for the way it is."
More Potter?
The Harry Potter movie magic isn't over yet. A studio tour of the Potter sets will open this spring in London, England (tickets are available at http://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/). What can visiting fans expect? "You can actually see [sets like] the Great Hall, the Gryffindor common room and Dumbledore's office," producer David Heyman said. "It is a window into how we made the films. You will get to see the visual, special and creature effects departments. If you love the films you will love this."
Fans will also love the additional features on the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 DVD. Among the extras is a featurette on the "Goblins of Gringotts," hosted by Warwick Davis. In this DVD special, Davis takes you through the entire process of becoming a movie goblin. You can also watch a conversation with Potter author J.K. Rowling and with Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
Is there any chance for another movie? Yates doesn't think so. "The story has reached an end and there is no way you could start another," Yates said. "It is wonderful and will only become more nostalgic as time goes on."
The movie is available now on DVD and Blu-Ray Combo Pack, which includes an UltraViolet Digital Copy. You can download the digital copy to your computer, tablet or smart phone.

EC investigating pipe and fittings sectorComments Email Print
BRUSSELS (July 13, 11 a.m. ET) — Days after the European Commission announced inspections at the plants of unnamed manufacturers of plastic pipes and pipe fittings used in the sewage industry, Tessenderlo Group today confirmed that the EC has carried out an inspection at its Nyloplast subsidiary.
The Tessenderlo, Belgium-based company said it "fully cooperated with the authorities during this inspection" at the Netherlands-based subsidiary, adding: "We are currently assessing the situation and cannot give further information at this stage."
The Commission said July 11 it has concerns that companies, which it did not name in its statement, may have violated EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices.
According to several news reports, Vienna, Austria-based Wienerberger AG, which earlier this year bought the 50 percent stake in Pipelife it did not already own from Solvay SA, also was investigated.
In January, European Plastics News reported that three plastic pipe system manufacturers were suspected of being part of a price fixing cartel operating in Hungary.
The activities of Pipelife Hungaria and Wavin Hungary, along with those of the national pipe fittings producer BTH Fitting, recently acquired by Belgium's Tessenderlo group, were investigated by Hungary's Competition Authority GVH.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — LSU intends to appeal a judge's ruling that required the university system to turn over the names of about three dozen candidates considered during its presidential search, and the Board of Supervisors said Friday it doesn't plan to immediately release the names.
Board Chairman Hank Danos released a statement saying the ruling orders LSU to release records it doesn't have.
"LSU is disappointed in the ruling, but confident the decision will be reversed on appeal. The ruling orders LSU to do something that is not possible — to produce records not in LSU's custody or control," Danos said.
The board has said applications were handled by its private search firm, which was hired by LSU's private foundation.
A day earlier, Baton Rouge Judge Janice Clark said the names of the presidential candidates were public record and must be released. Her ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by The Advocate and The Times-Picayune newspapers.
Danos defended the closed-door search that led to the hiring of F. King Alexander, who starts the job later this year.
The presidential search committee, made up of mainly Board of Supervisors members, didn't interview candidates publicly and only forwarded Alexander's name to the full board. The committee refused to list any others interviewed in the months-long search.
The LSU Faculty Senate registered a vote of no-confidence in the Board of Supervisors and its search process.
Alexander has defended the process, saying it's not uncommon for higher education leadership searches to be done that way so sitting chancellors and presidents can be considered without worrying about their current positions.
He said he wouldn't have agreed to be considered if the search wasn't confidential.

Hillary is a waste of time and so are those kissing her butt.
Its amazing how little coverage this got even before the election! It all depends what party has control off the Whitehouse as the whether any of these issues gets covered at all. I am tired of the double standard and I thought enough people were also but we have four more miserable years of one big Lie after another. What a shame!!
How dare she say, "What does it matter now?" If she, the State Dept, and whomever else, were incompetent & lied to the American people, it matters a LOT. If Bush was a jerk, that does not excuse these people who were "supposed" to be so much better than Bush. Not to mention that I simply cannot accept that the whole cover-up was to save the re-election of Obama.
It seems evident from her testimony that she was in touch that night with people across all levels of govt that the President was not among them. Also seems evident that SOMEbody had the support "stand down" ... could that have come from anyone but the CIC?
If we used MLK's measure to judge one by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, both Hillary and Obama would be keeping each other company.
It appears simple to me. Hillary dropped the ball and four Americans were killed. Obama made Hillary Sec Of State. They should both share in the blame of not providing adequate security and Fox should face some sort of fine or have their ability to broadcast suspended for several weeks for their irresponsible story.
Now, that is fair and balanced!
You are reminding me more and more every day of the lunatic on the corner downtown preaching the end is near!!!!
A lunatic is one that can't reason, like you!
All the national media, including your beloved Fox News aired the information given to them by the White House regarding the protest as the reason for the attack.
Maybe you should go back to accusing Hillary of inflicting that concussion and brain blood clot on herself. Never did read on that thread where you were apologetic for your false accusations!
BTW, you may want to attempt some objective thinking for a change.

Coming Around: Duffy's Well, Well, Well
Ohhhhhh crap. I think I'm about to eat crow, because I have openly blasted Duffy since she first burst on the scene, with her piqued vocals and canyon dimples and everything else annoying and just, ugh, about her. With a new single, Well, Well, Well, and sophomore album, Endlessly (out in the UK today), I had every reason to begin yet another onslaught of heated tweets, rants and the like. But yikes, something sounds so right about it today. Shit.
With production coming from Albert Hammond Sr. (yes, dude from The Strokes' poppa), Well, Well, Well is funky and dare I say, a little sexy. Good use of shakers and handclaps, a tidy horn section, and a beat...an honest to goodness beat that is neither big room banger or barely there, but sitting in the sweet spot between.
Also, the video is hilariously awkward, which kind of makes me dig this even more. Newsies, teddy boys and the Duffster dancing around while flashing a peek-a-boo slit is like, yo girl, really? Equally head scratching yet oddly funny enough to keep me watching.
Ok, view the clip and listen to this chimpunk let loose. Also, the Digital Dog edit of Well, Well, Well is well, amazingly flamboyantly ready to ravage your ears. It's below the clip.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
The first permanent perfume exhibition path is going to open in Venice. It will be the first Italian museum in which paired a work of art, you will naturally close your eyes.
The Palazzo Mocenigo Museum is going to host from June 1st a permanent section dedicated to perfume, thanks to the partnership with the Venetian company Mavive. The initiative born with the aim of revaluing the thousand-year old Venetian vocation on scent bottle tradition.
Palazzo Mocenigo is yet venue of the Study Center on textile and costume history and it will perfectly integrate with the new area dedicated entirely to the history of perfume and essences. In addition to the new exhibition opening, June 1st the entire museum is going to regain its original historic and ecovative vigour thanks to a new layout that will further develop the features the rooms themselves.
So within this restored space, it will be possible also to enjoy a new area dedicated entirely to the history of perfume and essences, which will be arranged by MAVIVE, the principal partner in this exciting operation geared to the revival and promotion of the museum venue. In this way, MAVIVE will underscore the historic link between Venice and perfume, adding "olfactive waypoints" along the museum layout to offer a new way to explore the history of perfume and essences. Among that the precious cosmetic textbook I Notandissimi Secreti de l'Arte Profumatoria (G. Rossetti, Venezia 1555), first Western recipe book that classifies with scientific approach more than 300 cosmetic formulas. To enrich the exhibition there will be also the Storps's bottles collection (one of the most important with over of 2.500 objects date from 2.000 B.C.)
Palazzo Mocenigo, Santa Croce 1992, Venice.

Astros eliminate Brewers from playoffs
Brewers drop 2 of 3 in weekend series
MILWAUKEE - For a team with big league-worst 106 losses, the Houston Astros have one accomplishment this season: They eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers from playoff contention.
Jordan Lyles, a 21-year-old who entered with a 1-7 record and 6.95 ERA on the road this season, pitched a four-hitter for his first complete game in 40 career starts and hit his first home run in the Astros' 7-0 victory Sunday.
"It was awesome to finish up this up-and-down season with a pretty good start," Lyles said.
He struck out three and walked one, throwing 64 of 103 pitches for strikes.
Milwaukee, which lost to St. Louis in Game 7 of last year's NL championship series, surged but fell shot.
The Brewers were 12 games under .500 on Aug. 19, then went 27-12.
But they lost two of three to the last-place Astros.
"For us to come out and get shut out, that was probably the last thing that I thought would happen," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "But Lyles did throw a nice game. He had good movement. I thought we'd come out and play a good series here against Houston, and we didn't."
Houston won a series at Milwaukee for the first time since taking two of three in July 2008.

Thanks for the video review, I had no idea this was out or even realistically coming. I am pretty sure the little hole he found is the reset button and not a missing piece, the cover of the torpedo bay on the BOP actually looks enough like an LED that it'd have been reasonable for them to try to pass that off. Prices I'm seeing right now are $55 and up, which is pretty steep but might be reasonable in person. The idea of 3 versions though is quite frustrating, I want one now but I want the TVH version more and don't want to drop $110+ for them.
Ent-B looks interesting, but I so much would rather wait for the Excelsior.
The wings on flight mode are completely level in TVH, in other areas they are raised like landing mode seen on the toy.

Study Shows Average User Is Pretty Stupid When It Comes to Popups
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
The new study from the North Carolina State University's Psych department shows just how dumb the average user is when it comes to computer security. The study shows users are willing to do anything, including throwing security caution to the wind, to get rid of minor annoyances.
(Source: DailyTech)
A new study is giving computer savvy users a look at the "other" users' behavior
You often wonder how users fall for seemingly obvious ploys -- you know, the letter from Makib in Ethiopia seeking for donations for an orphanage, or perhaps the most recent
fake ticket emails that claim to have your ticket in a ZIP file
. To the computer savvy, these silly attempts might make for a good morning laugh, but security experts say there's nothing to laugh about when millions of naïve users fall for the scheme and their computers become part of a botnet, used to
launch devastating DoS attacks
A new study from the Psychology Department of North Carolina State University gives some insight into just how
easily tricked many users are
. On compromised websites one form of malware distribution is through popup windows. If users click to dismiss them, they often download malware onto their computers. So just how many users would be tricked into clicking?
The researchers crafted 4 dialog boxes and exposed 42 college students to them in a normal browsing atmosphere. Each box contained the cryptic message "The instruction at '0x77f41d24 referenced memory at '0x595c2a4c." The first one bore the markings of a standard Windows dialog, but the remainder had noticeable differences that should have warned users that it was malware.
In each of the dialogs putting the mouse over the "OK" button turned the cursor into a hand, a sign that it was a browser control, not a Windows dialog. The dialogs also all had minimize and maximize buttons. Starting with the second one, a browser status bar was added to the bottom. Finally the last one was made blatantly obvious by text that flashed from black on a white background to white on a black background.
To properly lure the college students into the ruse, they created a series of fake medical websites in Flash. The students were told they were going to be quizzed on the information on the sites after the test. The popups were then activated as the students were browsing the sites.
Of the 42 college students, 26 clicked the "OK" button on the most normal looking dialog, 25 clicked on each of the more obvious fakes, and 23 clicked on the most obvious fake, the one with the flashing text. This study should be welcome news to malware crafters -- college educated users will click obviously dangerous dialogs over 50 percent of the time.
In all only 9 users closed the dialogs. The rest minimized them, or dragged them out of the way, risky behaviors, as the next user at the computer could be exposed to the dialog. The time between the dialog appearing and the user clicking remained approximately constant for all the dialogs. This seems to indicate that the users did not even think much before clicking the foreign message.
In follow up questions, over half of students said the dialog boxes were a distraction from the task at hand and they would do anything to get rid of them. The study seems to indicate that computer exposure, with lack of understanding has bred an atmosphere where users are unsurprised by dialogs and GUIs, and care little for their contents.
While the study's authors suggested education of students to warn them of these kind of dangers, the apathy of the students towards the dialogs seems to bring the fruits of such education into question.
The study is appearing soon in the journal
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Turn On, Tune In, Strike Out.
Today is the 71st anniversary of Dr. Albert Hoffman's accidental synthesis of LSD-25. This day marks more the conception of the substance rather than the day mankind truly peeled back the flesh over its collective third eye. As we have a few more months until that anniversary – Bicycle Day, as it is referred to in the psychonauts' argot – I'll save the more involved post for then (I've noted it on my calendar and everything!) Let us now, however, celebrate this glorious accident with another one.
On June 12th, 1970, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis scored a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres. The kicker? Legend and interviews have it that he had spent his time on the mound tripping the light fantastic. If you aren't aware of the inner workings of LSD, baseball, or both, the closest analogy I can come up with is that the man sleepwalked into the Olympic 100 meter dash and won. Or, as No Mas put it:
Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
I'm not going to recount the entire story because WFMU has done a better and more thorough job than I ever could, but here's something new: an animation by No Mas and James Blagden, who is also responsible for the painting above, with audio from an NPR interview with Ellis wherein he discusses the game. Enjoy!

Great service
Karen and Des offer a great service. Our work was completed on time and to a good standard and they were very focused on the satisfaction of the customer. Would highly recommend. Many thanks
Job well done.
Lovely friendly local garage expertly fitted a new clutch and did my MOT all on the same day Great value and will use again for further work would highly recommend
Yes I would recommend this garage thay was really frendly did a good job thay also let me know when it was finished
Booked my car in for a full service. The best experience I've ever had from any garage. Trystian has been very helpful with all of my queries. They completed a thorough health check with a video and paper report. Since the service I have booked my car in twice to have further repair work done and am very happy with the service and quality of work and the best thing is the prices are very competitive, unlike most other dealerships. Will no doubt be using again.
Yes easy
The car was helpfully picked up and returned as arranged. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The cost came to the quote previously made. I've only driven the car a little, and it seems fine atm. They also do a video health heck of the car, which to date I haven't received, hence the 4*, even tho I've reminded them. The paper one was given to me with the car. I would, use them again, and have recommended them to a neighbour.
Great service from Trystian and Stoneacre. I had just purchased the car so the inspection was a great bonus and confirmed some issues I knew of as well as highlighting some new ones (with video evidence). Would recommend and would use again. Thanks!
great job. walkd through my first time by Trystian. really good comms quick and efficient service. would use again
Great quote, cheapest by far. Excellent communication and we're able to fit me in straight away. Unfortunately my car broke down before I was able to get the repairs and I had to cancel but will definitely consider using Tyres 2 Go in the future. Thank You.
Fantastic service. Really would recommend this garage as their attention to detail is second to none and the owner is a fantastic knowledgeable guy who is only out to make cars safe to drive.. Thank you.
The guys in the garage were great Excellent service and a good price.
Was not able to diagnose the problem using OBD tool although the problem was detected by another garage's OBD tool immediately. Problem was resolved with very little cost but was being quoted over £300 to replace a part that didn't need fixing at this garage.
Tyres 2 Go did a really good job, nice people and quick service
Aircon worked only 2 weeks even after I was told a tiny leak was seen but has be sealed with dye.
MOT fail repaired quickly and for less than they suggested it might cost.
Fixed a problem with a bad earth in less than 30mins the first working day after Christmas. No issues, great service, would recommend and use again.
Excellent service - Matt was very helpful and professional. Wouldn't hesistate to recommend Knowle Garage, and will definitely use again for any repair work needed.

Kenny delighted but keen to improve
Head Coach Kenny Jackett was pleased with his team's commitment as they bounced back with a win at Shrewsbury this afternoon – but believes Wolves need to improve if they are to carry on "winning consistently."
Bakary Sako's 84th minute penalty after Jon Taylor handled Matt Doherty's goalbound header was the difference between the two sides with chances going begging at both ends.
But Jackett's delight was tempered by his belief that the team still need to improve going forward to build on a run which has seen them win six of their last seven in Sky Bet League One.
"I think the result is the most important thing," said Jackett.
"It was a proper test for us today - a local derby and a tight game and we had a lot of the ball and probably didn't create the chances we should have done.
"I am delighted with the clean sheet and the attitude and application of the players in bouncing back from Tuesday which was a disappointing defeat.
"Shrewsbury will feel they should have scored but there were a high number of chances both ends with both sides committed to attack.
"Both sides looked capable of scoring and I was surprised it was a penalty which broke the deadlock.
"My first impressions were that it was a definite red card and a penalty and the referee thought the same."
On the need to improve Jackett added: "This was an excellent result but we do think we are a work in progress – we don't think we are the finished article by any means and we're humble enough to know that we need to continue to improve.
"Every side will be saying that at this stage of the season.
"But I am pleased after Tuesday to get that win which will encourage our players.
"We are pleased with where we are and pleased that we are not letting the teams at the top get away from us.
"But we also think we need to improve and are looking to improve both internally and externally as the season goes on.
"We have shown good heart and commitment and in every game have been within touching distance of getting the points and that's a positive.
"We'd like to be at a stage when we can do better and get our forward players more on the ball in attacking areas to be more creative.
"That is our challenge now going forward – to make sure we get our ball players on the ball in the forward positions and open sides up.
"That's not necessarily easy in games like this which are tight local derbies.
"It was another massive game for Shrewsbury today and you could see that from a capacity crowd.
"That sort of atmosphere is something we have to overcome and that's what we did today.
"Every side should have the attitude to improve but I genuinely believe that to win consistently we are going to have to.
"As well as that improvement you need a big heart in this division to be competitive and in with a shout of earning the points and we have been that so far.
"So it's a combination of everything really – I am pleased with the result, with our heart and determination which makes sure we are 'in' every game – and after that our quality in possession and understanding of our runs and how we are moving forward is something we are continually looking to improve on."
Kevin Doyle missed out with a thigh strain this afternoon and Leigh Griffiths was substituted with an ankle problem but Jackett is confident neither are serious.
"Doyle missed out with a thigh strain which he picked up in training to the end of the week," he said.
"There'll be another assessment made in the middle to end of next week but we're hoping he'll be fit for Saturday.
"Leigh Griffiths went off with a bad ankle which he had sustained in the first half.
"With him off we needed to get some fresh energy on up there.
"He twisted his ankle and looked a bit flat-footed as a result because he'd looked very sharp up until then.
"But I think it will be a case of days rather than weeks."
Griffiths absence when the penalty arrived paved the way for Bakary Sako to step up and confidently hammer home his fourth goal of the season.
"In terms of his play down the left he is the one that the opposition are generally frightened of," said Jackett.
"I was pleased that it was him lining up because he is very safe and consistent with that left foot.
"We lost 1-0 from a set piece on Tuesday and have won the same way today and it was a calm finish from Sako in the end."
