Perfect day<3 82 degrees out and it feels good!
Lololololol I freaken love this kid xD
Perfect s'more 👌 I guess all those camping trips came in handy(;
13 years without you, 13 years this little girl has suffered without her angel. So many years and the pain gets worst! I wish that you where still hear so I could sit next to you, and be grandpa's little girl, and watch endlessly old cartoons with you. But all that stopped when I lost you, I went crazy after I lost you. People told me to stop doing the things I do that reminds me of you so I could get over the grieving process, but I don't want to let you go yet</3 whenever I had a bad day or just want to shut off the world, I'll sit in my room and remember the "Woody the Woodpecker" noise you would make to make me smile<3 I truly believe that you were my angel brought to protect me for a time, but when god saw that you were tired from all your battles from protecting your loved ones. I knew that he couldn't let you suffer</3 13 years and I still cry, it never gets better.. Only worst. Nobody will understand that you were the most IMPORTANT man in my life! I love you with every fiber in me<3 R.I.P. Grandpa<3

HE STANDS 7" TALL 5" ACROSS THE BASE NEW IN BOX LISTS FOR $35.00 Tim Wolfe has always been an avid naturalist and outdoorsman. His love of art and nature began at an early age. Growing up in rural Beaver County , Pennsylvania , he spent every spare moment outdoors - walking the woods and meadows with his father, always observing and sketching anything that caught his eye. Those early experiences deepened his passion for the natural world and influenced the direction his life has taken.
Tim's love of nature led him to study animal anatomy in Janesville , Wisconsin . In 1983, he moved to Charlotte , North Carolina w he continued his education in Commercial Art/Advertising Design. He has always considered nature his greatest teacher, and even then he spent as much time as possible outdoors. While enrolled as an art student, he began working as an assistant to Dr. Thomas F. Clark of Davidson , NC , a world renown sculptor known for his gnomes and woodspirits. Dr. Clark introduced Tim to the exciting world of sculpture and his passion for nature inevitably became the focus of his artwork.

My ex-roommate story
First semester at college. I was going to the same school as a couple of my friends, so I requested one friend, we'll call her L, to be my roommate. We'd been friends for around a year and a half before this point, with similar living habits and belief systems, and an understanding of each other's mental needs (her with her bipolar, and me with my major depressive disorder and anxiety). For the first few months everything was wonderful and it felt like a big sleepover.
And then the boyfriend happened.
They'd already been dating for a while before this point, but he finally decided he was going to visit a lot more than his usual. I had and still have nothing against the guy, as I'd actually been friends longer with him than I had been with her.
However, the minute her Mr. Man got involved, she turned into a self-absorbed, unreasonable nightmare.
The worst thing that happened between us was on her birthday. He came over with the intention of giving her a present in the sack, which I couldn't really care less about. However, she texted me a warning message that they'd be in the room in ten minutes and I wouldn't be allowed back in.
I was across campus at the library, where I was getting books so I could then work on an essay due the next week. My laptop and all the other articles and supplies I needed were in the room. I texted her back as soon as I saw her text, telling her to please wait to get funky until I could get my things out. I never got texted back, so I just headed back to the room and hoped she saw it.
The door was locked, and as I was fumbling with my phone to check if she had texted and I just didn't see it, I dropped the phone, and it clattered against the door. Cue an unmitigated rage from L, who was certain I was knocking to interrupt them on purpose. She shrieked at me for the entire rest of the hall to hear, about how much she hated me and how bad a roommate I was and how I ruined her entire birthday.
Later, we had an argument about it where she triggered me by digging up personal reactions that she was more than aware of, because I refused to concede any guilt on my part for what happened. So essentially she was trying to blame me for everything that happened, and then when I refused to and told her she was being a poor roommate and not thinking about my needs too, she purposefully gave me a panic attack.
Shortly after, she moved into a single room, claiming it was because of her bipolar, but since then she's been nothing but a petty snot to me, and we're no longer friends.
tl;dr: Moral of the story, kids, don't request to be roommates with a friend, especially a friend with diagnosed mental problems. It's not pretty, and it ruins friendships.
My first roommate
The first roommate I ever had included her father. I had graduated high school a few months before and only had a job for about 3 months. I was naive. So very naive. My friends had found an apartment that their friend need roommates to move in. Long story short, I had a fight with my mother about it and had no other options, so the move in got sped up by a few months. We were scrambling. The girl we had moved in with, her father was living with her until he moved to Nevada. He put himself in charge of getting bills paid and handling our money. We ended up losing about a grand in 2 months because he was trying to get his debts paid off with our money and wasn't paying rent like he said he was. Or utilities. Or water. After that, we kicked him out. His daughter however, was almost worse than him. She was creepy and dirty and just plain just disgusting. She'd take an hour long shower and still come out smelly and greasy. Every time she tried to "help" (so that she could rub it in our faces that she did something when we hadn't. We all had jobs and she didn't, by the by.) she'd fuck it up. She tried making coffee for us. That resulted in weak piss water because she only put in 2 scoops of coffee for a whole pot of water. She tried to clean the kitchen and ended up with gross water all over the floor and counters and her having put away dirty dishes and running the dishwasher with 3 things in it. We had to wash all the dishes all over again. She was also just incredibly creepy. She would either hide in her room for literally days on end, never leaving, or she would come into the room we were in and just sit and stare silently for hours. Not even stare at us. Just the floor or the wall. When my boyfriend met her for the first time, before we were dating, she came and sat on the floor next to the chair his was in and stared at the floor. My roommates came home one day and found her sitting in front of their bedroom door, staring. When they asked her why she was there, she said "I can't find my underwear." And just kept sitting there, staring. They had to jump over her to get in their room.
I did have another bad roommate after her, but she was just fucking crazy and easily dealt with. This girl…There was just no way to figure her out…I think at one point she mentioned needing glasses and that was why she had to get her face so close to everything. My mother suggested that her mother had done drugs while pregnant. Oh, and she practiced the religion of having sex to get closer to God. No joke.
so, you want my worst roommate story? ok, here we go. One of my roommates keeps using my pots and pans after I keep asking her not to, because they're pretty expensive. One day after she used a pan, I noticed that it was all scratched up, and when I asked her about it, she denied even using, though I *saw* her using it only an hour before. it's going to cost me $100 to replace. to make things even better, she decided to get cable even though I told her I didn't want it and couldn't afford it. she continues to harass me for money for the bill, and when I finally outright told her no, she got really pissed off, called me a bum-ass bitch, and told me not to talk to her or her friends again. I said fine, as long as she doesn't use my stuff anymore. She still uses my stuff.
Anonymous asked: I used to have a roommate who was very condescending. One morning I made bacon and toast, and proceeded to eat it in the kitchen. He walked in and asked if I was going to have vegetables with it. When I replied that we were out, he said "you're going to die so early from not having vegetables, my god." Then he proceeded to borrow some cash from another roommates wallet without asking, and went to grab himself McDonalds for the third time that week.

Off-Grid | 29 comments | Author: Nick
One of the main energy needs for the Land Yacht (especially during those cooler months) is heat. The trailer is small and heats up fairly quickly (176 square') but is not super efficient with lots of single pane glass and old fiberglass insulation. Ultimately our goal is to make our old 1966 Airstream as off-grid and sustainable as possible!
The trailer was originally outfitted with a forced-air propane furnace. From what I've read these old units are sketchy and potentially deadly. Plus burning propane is like burning cash. So we removed the old Suburban propane furnace and began looking at small wood burning stoves.
Catalytic Propane Heater 3200 – 6000 btu $2.49 per gallon
Shipmate Skippy Stove 9000 – 28000 btu free wood scraps
How many BTU do I need? We need roughly 12,000btu
A virtually unlimited supply of burnable wood scraps can be secured in most locations. In places where dry wood is not available there are synthetic log options that boast long burn times. Beside being affordable, sustainable and efficient I love the chores that come with maintaining a fire…the smells, sounds and warmth of a wood stove is hard to beat! Here is our off-grid heating plan for the Airstream:
With our current travel plans we will be in warmer climates during the coldest winter months. That said we will still need a sustainable heat source to keep us comfortable on the shoulder seasons and if we decide to brave the winter. (Like this couple that lives in their Silver Streak Travel Trailer in Alaska!)
The main source of off-grid heat will be a wood burning stove. We can carry a limited supply of wood in our garage (the back of our truck) and most places we travel we will be able to source local dead, down and detached scraps of wood. (I am a firm believer in leave no trace!) To keep us from waking every 1-2hrs stoking the fire all-night I have read of people that use synthetic logs that will burn for 4-6hrs. So we plan to try out the presto logs for overnight use and when we don't have access to dry wood.
The backup heat source for boon-docking is down. We all have fluffy down sacks to burrow in if we get chilled.
Another off-grid option is Catalytic Propane Heaters …they are lightweight, fairly small and can be installed in a variety of locations. The downside to these heaters, in my opinion, is your dependence on propane. The cost of propane can be significant ($2.49+ per Gallon) and in some locations/scenarios it may be a challenge to source. My preference is not to be dependent on petroleum products!
When we have access to grid-power we can use our little space heater to warm the Land Yacht. Update: We have been using our little space heater and it functions OK keeping the extreme cold away. The little electric heater can consistently keep the trailer at 60-65f in all but the extreme cold. The Land Yacht is pretty drafty which sabotages any heat source. We could undoubtedly see better performance if we sealed up those little gaps a bit more.
Another electric solution we are considering that would work in both off-grid & on-grid situations is an electric mattress pad. This 12V mattress warmer is pretty efficient (60w instead of 200w on similar AC models) and could optionally run off our battery bank. It wouldn't do much to the inside temperature but it would make sleeping more comfortable.
Finding affordable small wood stoves has been a challenge. Tiny wood burners are becoming more popular with the surge of tiny houses so the demand and likewise supply is gaining some ground. Over the past few years I have searched and compiled any information I could find on small wood stoves. The majority of what is available are for marine / sailboat applications and tend to be costly.
There are a few options that look like they would be good solutions for our Land Yacht. I have listed them in order of cost. Based on our budget, size and weight restrictions we are leaning towards the shipmate skippy.
Fatscostoves – Pet
Notes: Note much info on their website…need to call and learn more. Looks like a respectable stove for a reasonable price!
Fatscostoves – Tiny Tot
Notes: Note much info on their website…need to call and learn more. Looks like a respectable stove for a reasonable price.
Salamader Stove – Pipsquea
Notes: UK based manufacturer. Seen other US peps import them. Well made cute little stove! Import duties and shipping will definitely add to the cost.
|195 Euro
Shipmate Stoves – Skippy
Notes: Solid little stove with a long history.
Marine Stove – Sardine
Notes: Popular stove maker out of Seattle area. Pretty pricey and they generally have along backlog on orders.
Marine Stoves – Little Cod
Notes: Love this little stove with the window! Again its pretty costly and it could be a long wait to get one.
Here are some other tiny stoves that are not feasible for the Airstream but pretty sweet nonetheless.
Marines Stoves – Halibut
Shipmate Stoves – Model 211
Notes: Much like the Halibut this sexy cook stove also features a oven.
The Kimberly
Notes: Looks like a great option for the Land Yacht but by far the most expensive stove. The Kimberly is a fairly new player and I am curious to see some reviews from owners.
[...] Nick @ LivinLightly discusses his family's plans for installing a small woodstove in their airstream camper home. We personally chose not to use a woodstove in our camper, primarily because we did not want to remodel it any more than we had to. So we use kerosene heaters, occasionally using the propane hot air system to warm up the pipes. In case you're wondering, the wick problem we had recently has been resolved by switching kerosene type and source – works great now. Anyway, Nick offers a different perspective with some good ideas worth considering for a small, off-grid home. [...]
I can't discourage this idea enough. The space it would take up, the constant smell of burning wood/ash, the weight of hauling a cast iron stove …
but mostly you have to think of the danger of fumes and carbon monoxide poisoning. These stoves are meant to be stationary and even the marine stoves would not be subject to the kind of movements of a moving trailer. Everytime you hitched up and moved, you'd risk breaking a seal fro the exhaust flue.
I understand wanting to reduce costs, but there is a reason there are dozens of propane options and apparently no practical options for wood burning in a (mobile) airstream.
My wife Terry and I are also preparing to move into a vintage (1966) Airstream full time, after re-evaluating/reinventing our lifestyle. The heating and power solutions have been most interesting to investigate. We too are considering one of these tiny wood stoves and anxiously await more information on the Kimberly as it becomes more widely tested. We found the catalytic propane units we tried on previous camping trips to contribute to moisture buildup, and instead preferred to run the propane furnace when needed.
The solar charging system and uprated battery bank we are installing should allow at least minimal use of the electric option when boondocking.
Best of luck to you and continued success in prioritizing your lives as we believe more people should!
Lou and Terry Axt
I'll send up pictures as the trailer progresses. The wood-burning stove question is one of the things we haven't decided on yet. Also looking at flooring options, such as bamboo or cork. You can see the exterior(along with our tow vehicle) here: https://www.facebook.com/louaxtjr
Just completed the pex plumbing and will be adding a second 12 volt marine battery soon, to be mounted in the rear hatch area. We went with 12 volt batteries to have the option of taking the trailer battery and using it in the truck in the event of a battery failure in the tow vehicle. The serviceability issue is a high priority for us to try try to keep expenses at a minimum, and we do not plan on adding an air conditioner.
Also have a folding solar solution planned. Leaning toward the 130-watt economy model from CEA: http://shop.rvsolarnow.com This will allow us to stay at National Parks ( our favorite) with no hookups and lots of shade while allowing placement of the solar panels where they can get some direct sun.
I'll let you know when we make our stove selection.
Love it! How high off the roof does the stack need to be, legally anyway? Can't quite find that information anywhere. Thanks for the awesome post!
The usual rule-of-thumb for chimney height is 24″ above anything within a 10 foot radius. That said, shorter can function better as long as your draft is sufficient and insulated double-wall pipe will make that happen. The 'trick' for any chimney is something that warms up quick and stays warm as long as the fire is burning with a flame.

I am looking into Rocket stoves. Supposedly the design is super efficient.
Hey Nick,
That's good thinking on using a small wood burning stove. You mentioned you like Rocket Stoves and would be interested in exploring them as an option as well. We have developed a great little Rocket Stove that's made locally here in the United States. It's extremely efficient, portable and even has a chimney in order to vent the smoke as you see fit.
It may or may not be something you'd be interested in for your project but while you're exploring your options I thought I'd mention it.
Our website is:
Thanks for the write-up and sharing your experience,
You people are so lucky. All wood stoves are "Not Sold in California". The leading state in Sustainability, Solar, Energy from Renewables "Small Wind Turbines not allowed in your neighbors back yard" kind of place, go figure. Almost all wood and real DIY energy systems are done clandestianly and by the energy underground. When traveling in Califronia make sure its a Particulate and Toxic gases burn day. Remember neighbors are incouraged to turn in neighbors if your smoke is over 20% opaceity. Comrade …
Hey Nick,
I got your email and replied but never heard back from you?
Buck, you're right California does have a lot of restrictions, but depending on where you live you can install a windmill or solar panels and there is still a lot of cool stuff going on.
There is nothing wrong with a wood stove in a camper. Lots of people will tell you not to do it. That is because they themselves are not competent to build a system that will work. This does not mean that you can't do it. A wood stove makes a lot of sense. The heat is warm and satisfying. You can't use it while mobile, or if located somewhere where you might have to move in a hurry, but other than that there is not reason not to use wood heat. If you can heat a boat or a house with wood, a camper is no different. The fuel is abundant and often free. Concerns like draft can be managed with adequate cap designs. CO detectors, and dedicated outside air source for the stove are important but easy to provide for. I'm planning on putting one in my pickup camper, and also using it to heat a water tank as a thermosiphon reservoir to store heat. I'm buying a plain Sardine stove (no porcelain finish) with a glass face.
Hi, Just had to send you a possible stove that you would like to check out for your Airstream. The web site is Simple-fire.com which displays a rocket stove that is small and not expensive for what it does. I don't have any connection with the fellow that is selling the units but think the product is great.
Sincerely, RM
Here is my little Hobbit stove. You can cook on the top in addition to being able to gaze at the fire. It is amazing how relaxing watching a stove going can be!
Here is a link to the Hobbit if you need more information about it.
Below is a link all about cooking on a woodstove.
I cannot wait to have a good look at the veggiemeal site. Both my girls are vegetarian, as was I for 16 years. I then decided to keep a couple of pigs and have subsequently been a bacon and sausage geek!
I have put on weight as a result and think reverting to a veggie diet now would be sensible for both body and mind.
I hope the sun is glinting of your airstream today.
I need someone experienced enough with wood stoves to put up my flue on the wood stove I have in my mobile home. I have all the parts. My husband died before he could get that done and we are having electric power problems now and then. This has been a strange winter and I want to know that I can survive if the power is out for a long period of time as my home is all electric.
Thank you
I have been looking into the possibility of small wood stoves for the 1952 Royal Spartanette I am refurbishing. Thank you for your informative list. There is a new stove that has just become available. It is called the Mini 12 CT:
hello thanks for sharing, I didn't read all the way down, did you manage to get wood heat to work? I will be living in a camper yearround, a 32ft with slide outs so there will be room for a stove, do u reckon I should use an actual chimney? do they stay cold on the outside of the pipe? I will be living in northern bc where it can easily get minus 30 degrees celcius, and I only want to use propane as backup when im at work
Hey, just discovered your blog and I am already hooked on it. But what I was wondering, in your search about synthetic logs, did you happen upon coffee or Java logs? Or even making your own briquettes from discarded biomass? Both of these technologies would potentially solve your problems of burn times and the coffee has somewhere in the ball park of 3 times the potential energy of a hardwood log of similar size. If you're interested, I can send you links to what I have discovered. Cheers!

No way you'll get everybody to agree HOW they want to play in this free-for-all version of D&D - select your own ruleset edition.
Not a chance.
Plus, even if there's some way to MECHANICALLY balance characters of varying complexity there's now way to balance the experience at the table. If I pick a SIMPLE character - am I going to be able to have fun with the next dude over playing a COMPLEX character and hogging all the play time...
You just plain have to make choices when designing a game. No coherent/consistent rules-set is called life. This game, however, is D&D "coward edition". Come on game designers. Pick something, do it excellently, and enjoy it for a good long while. I can't believe this schadenfreude has cropped up in 4 years of electronic pipe-dreams.

I am surprisingly getting hopeful about this. As long as one thing remains certain:
The "Crunch" Material.
How do they plan on doing that? Will we be getting new game material for all 4 editions to use with these "Base D&D Rules" we're getting?
The books will definitely be condensed with this route, but at the same time the legendary "power creep" won't be so problematic since each product is going to contain 4 editions worth of material, meaning power creep will be reduced at 75% the normal rate for all editions. Not including Dragon articles. Or is Dragon/Dungeon only going to be for 4e?
That is my #1 question is how they plan on handling adding new options?

That's not entirely true though. Throughout D&D's history, you had characters (primarily casters) who had way, way more options than other classes. The game worked pretty well then.Originally Posted by Kzach
What's the difference here? If you want a simple character, you have a small number of options to deal with. If you want a complex character, you have a boatload of options to deal with. In the past, that division was delineated by class. Now, from the sounds of it, it will be delineated by player.
Not so much different I think.
The rules don't give the DM their authority. The consent of the players does. - Mallus

Every game I played in would be full of rogues and fighters if we started at 1st-level and entirely made up of clerics and wizards if we started at 10th or higher.
3e only changed that moderately and even then, hardly.

I think once we see mechanics come out, we'll see what they're talking about.
I doubt they expect "a 4e brutal scoundrel rogue, a 3e warlock, a 2e specialty priest of Talos, a 1e fighter, and a BD&D elf all go into the Caves of Chaos were they fight a group of OD&D orcs, all using their native systems". I think they mean "A tactical/powers rogue, a simple at-wills warlock, a vancian cleric, a simple basic-attack fighter, and a elven fighter/multi-classed mage go into the caves of chaos and fight down an orc horde, using a unified resolution mechanic that is fairly simple but can be layed with some complex choices if the GM/player wants".
The question will be if that simplified mechanic can suit the general needs of all those edition players to convert to the universal language.

I'm thinking that the procedure may go like this ... "Find out which PC is the most complex. Add up his bonuses, now give everyone else a bonus. The most simple PCs get the biggest bonus."

I'd like to hope though that the game can be played well with non-splat and splat characters through they whole edition cycle. An idea that I think people would like to believe is true, in actual play isn't as realistic when it comes to balance.*
*And I think balance is still going to be a goal of the system. It may well have to be a huge part of it to allow different PC structures to exist side-by-side.

Opulence, I has it 2013
Summary: Can't decide on gifts to buy? What if price is no object? What if you "has opulence", so to speak? With that in mind, I've updated the latest revision of my holiday gift guide for the disgustingly and oppressively wealthy.

Opulence, I has it 2013
This holiday season, our ZDNet experts are more than happy to provide you with the very best lists of tech gear and gadgets to stuff your stockings with such as laptop computers, tablets and smartphones.
All of which give you useful, well-researched and practical advice on how to spend your money. We're still in a recovering economy and most of us have to be really careful how we lay out our cold, hard cash.
But what if you have money to burn? What if price is no object? What if you "has opulence", so to speak? With that in mind, for the end of 2013, I've updated the latest revision of my gift guide for the disgustingly wealthy.
Automotive Opulence
Where's the super-rich without their personal transportation? Many ultra-wealthy citizens prefer to drive or be driven to their destinations in a low-key fashion, choosing to avoid recognition or to attract attention.
The late Sam Walton, owner of the Wal-Mart chain, was known for his love of nondescript, blue collar cars such as old Ford pickup trucks. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was once known for driving old station wagons and older model Lincolns.
The truly opulent, however, love to flaunt, and they love to enjoy it. Love the speed? Don't care what the heck it costs? Then look no further than the hybrid Ferrari LaFerrari that has two engines, a 6.3-liter 789hp V-12 and an additional 165hp electric motor which in combination can propel this ostentatious display of wealth at an estimated top speed of 230Mph.
Is the Ferrari too pedestrian? Too ghetto? Too green, even? Then by all means, have a look at the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the Top Gear poster child for ultimate speed and ultimate price. This 16-cylinder, 8.0 Liter, quad turbocharged 1200 horsepower untamed animal of a sports car is capable of achieving a mind-blowing 267Mph.
There's a catch though — you can only achieve that speed on Volkswagen's official test track, who'll provide you with a special key for unlocking that extra horsepower when you come to visit. But if you're super-rich, you can probably afford to build your own 20-mile racetrack to max the car out on, and it won't bother you that the car itself is a mere $2,700,000.
Maybe the Bugatti isn't dangerous enough. Perhaps a car is just too… cramped. You crave danger, excitement, the open air, and want to walk away from your vehicle with messy underwear. No problem, what you want is a motorcycle. But not just any motorcycle.
For those super-rich that also possess a death wish, you want a Marine Turbine Technologies Superbike — which is powered by a gas turbine, kerosene-fueled jet engine. With a top speed of 227 miles per hour, it's the fastest motorcycle in the entire world, and every single one is hand-built and unique.
At $150,000 it's also one of the most expensive motorcycles in existence as well, claiming such gearhead celebs as Jay Leno as customers, who has been quoted as saying that riding the bike was like having the "Hand of God" pushing him.
But any billionaire can spend half a million dollars or more on an exotic sports car. And guess what? You still have to put a license plate on it. People will still know if it's your car. So much for privacy, right?
The late Steve Jobs, worth a cool 8 billion or so when he passed away in October of 2011, was particularly fond of the Mercedes-Benz AMG variant of the R230 SL series in the classic metallic silver paint job.
Compared to the other vehicles listed above, at around $150,000-$190,000, the AMG SL is certainly very expensive, but not in the ludicrous range. For a billionaire Jobs had very conservative tastes.
But Jobs didn't like putting license plates on his car. In fact, he drove his AMG SL without one for close to a decade. In just about everywhere else in the world, the idea of being a scofflaw like that is preposterous. But it turns out in California, you really can get away with that.
You see, for many years, Jobs had an arrangement with a California auto leasing company that agreed to lease him nearly the same exact model silver Mercedes sports car and allow him to turn it in every six months for a brand new one. Apparently, in California, you have up to six months to put plates on your car after registering it.
True opulence isn't buying an expensive car. It's driving one without any plates and replacing it every six months, apparently.

CERT(sm) Advisory CA-96.21
Original issue date: September 19, 1996
Last revised: --
Topic: TCP SYN Flooding and IP Spoofing Attacks
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** This advisory supersedes CA-95:01. ***
Two "underground magazines" have recently published code to conduct
denial-of-service attacks by creating TCP "half-open" connections. This code
is actively being used to attack sites connected to the Internet. There is,
as yet, no complete solution for this problem, but there are steps that can be
taken to lessen its impact. Although discovering the origin of the attack is
difficult, it is possible to do; we have received reports of attack origins
being identified.
Any system connected to the Internet and providing TCP-based network services
(such as a Web server, FTP server, or mail server) is potentially subject to
this attack. The consequences of the attack may vary depending on the system;
however, the attack itself is fundamental to the TCP protocol used by all
If you are an Internet service provider, please pay particular attention to
Section III and Appendix A, which describes step we urge you to take to
lessen the effects of these attacks. If you are the customer of an Internet
service provider, please encourage your provider to take these steps.
This advisory provides a brief outline of the problem and a partial solution.
We will update this advisory as we receive new information. If the change in
information warrants, we may post an updated advisory on comp.security.announce
and redistribute an update to our cert-advisory mailing list. As always, the
latest information is available at the URLs listed at the end of this advisory.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Description
When a system (called the client) attempts to establish a TCP connection
to a system providing a service (the server), the client and server
exchange a set sequence of messages. This connection technique applies
to all TCP connections--telnet, Web, email, etc.
The client system begins by sending a SYN message to the server. The
server then acknowledges the SYN message by sending SYN-ACK message to
the client. The client then finishes establishing the connection by
responding with an ACK message. The connection between the client and
the server is then open, and the service-specific data can be exchanged
between the client and the server. Here is a view of this message flow:
Client Server
------ ------
Client and server can now
send service-specific data
The potential for abuse arises at the point where the server system has
sent an acknowledgment (SYN-ACK) back to client but has not yet received
the ACK message. This is what we mean by half-open connection. The
server has built in its system memory a data structure describing all
pending connections. This data structure is of finite size, and it can be
made to overflow by intentionally creating too many partially-open
Creating half-open connections is easily accomplished with IP
spoofing. The attacking system sends SYN messages to the victim server
system; these appear to be legitimate but in fact reference a client
system that is unable to respond to the SYN-ACK messages. This means that
the final ACK message will never be sent to the victim server system.
The half-open connections data structure on the victim server system
will eventually fill; then the system will be unable to accept any new
incoming connections until the table is emptied out. Normally there is a
timeout associated with a pending connection, so the half-open
connections will eventually expire and the victim server system will
recover. However, the attacking system can simply continue sending
IP-spoofed packets requesting new connections faster than the victim
system can expire the pending connections.
In most cases, the victim of such an attack will have difficulty in
accepting any new incoming network connection. In these cases, the
attack does not affect existing incoming connections nor the ability to
originate outgoing network connections.
However, in some cases, the system may exhaust memory, crash, or be
rendered otherwise inoperative.
The location of the attacking system is obscured because the source
addresses in the SYN packets are often implausible. When the packet
arrives at the victim server system, there is no way to determine its
true source. Since the network forwards packets based on destination
address, the only way to validate the source of a packet is to use input
source filtering (see Appendix A).
II. Impact
Systems providing TCP-based services to the Internet community may
be unable to provide those services while under attack and for some
time after the attack ceases. The service itself is not harmed by the
attack; usually only the ability to provide the service is impaired.
In some cases, the system may exhaust memory, crash, or be rendered
otherwise inoperative.
III. Solution
There is, as yet, no generally accepted solution to this problem with
the current IP protocol technology. However, proper router configuration
can reduce the likelihood that your site will be the source of one of
these attacks.
Appendix A contains details about how to filter packets to reduce the
number of IP-spoofed packets entering and exiting your network. It also
contains a list of vendors that have reported support for this type of
NOTE to Internet Service Providers:
We STRONGLY urge you to install these filters in your routers to
protect your customers against this type of an attack. Although these
filters do not directly protect your customers from attack, the
filters do prevent attacks from originating at the sites of any of your
customers. We are aware of the ramifications of these filters on some
current Mobile IP schemes and are seeking a position statement from
the appropriate organizations.
NOTE to customers of Internet service providers:
We STRONGLY recommend that you contact your service provider to verify
that the necessary filters are in place to protect your network.
Many networking experts are working together to devise improvements to
existing IP implementations to "harden" kernels to this type of attack.
When these improvements become available, we suggest that you install
them on all your systems as soon as possible. This advisory will be
updated to reflect changes made by the vendor community.
IV. Detecting an Attack
Users of the attacked server system may notice nothing unusual since the
IP-spoofed connection requests may not load the system noticeably. The
system is still able to establish outgoing connections. The problem will
most likely be noticed by client systems attempting to access one of the
services on the victim system.
To verify that this attack is occurring, check the state of the server
system's network traffic. For example, on SunOS this may be done by the
netstat -a -f inet
Too many connections in the state "SYN_RECEIVED" indicates that the
system is being attacked.
Appendix A - Reducing IP Spoofed Packets
1. Filtering Information
- -------------------------
With the current IP protocol technology, it is impossible to eliminate
IP-spoofed packets. However, you can take steps to reduce the number of
IP-spoofed packets entering and exiting your network.
Currently, the best method is to install a filtering router that restricts
the input to your external interface (known as an input filter) by not
allowing a packet through if it has a source address from your internal
network. In addition, you should filter outgoing packets that have a source
address different from your internal network to prevent a source IP spoofing
attack from originating from your site.
The combination of these two filters would prevent outside attackers from
sending you packets pretending to be from your internal network. It would also
prevent packets originating within your network from pretending to be from
outside your network. These filters will *not* stop all TCP SYN attacks, since
outside attackers can spoof packets from *any* outside network, and internal
attackers can still send attacks spoofing internal addresses.
We STRONGLY urge Internet service providers to install these filters in your
In addition, we STRONGLY recommend customers of Internet service providers to
contact your service provider to verify that the necessary filters are in
place to protect your network.
2. Vendor Information
- ----------------------
The following vendor(s) have reported support for the type of filtering we
recommend and provided pointers to additional information that describes how
to configure your router. If you need more information about your router or
about firewalls, please contact your vendor directly.
Refer to the section entitiled "ISP Security Advisory"
on http://www.cisco.com for an up-to-date explanation of
how to address TCP SYN flooding on a Cisco router.
NOTE to vendors:
If you are a router vendor who has information on router capabilities and
configuration examples and you are not represented in this list, please contact
the CERT Coordination Center at the addresses given in the Contact Information
section below. We will update the advisory after we hear from you.
3. Alternative for routers that do not support filtering on the inbound side
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your vendor's router does not support filtering on the inbound side of the
interface or if there will be a delay in incorporating the feature into your
system, you may filter the spoofed IP packets by using a second router
between your external interface and your outside connection. Configure this
router to block, on the outgoing interface connected to your original router,
all packets that have a source address in your internal network. For this
purpose, you can use a filtering router or a UNIX system with two interfaces
that supports packet filtering.
Note: Disabling source routing at the router does not protect you from this
attack, but it is still good security practice to follow.
On the input to your external interface, that is coming from the Internet to
your network, you should block packets with the following addresses:
* Broadcast Networks: The addresses to block here are network 0 (the all zeros
broadcast address) and network 255.255.255.255 (the all ones broadcast
* Your local network(s): These are your network addresses
* Reserved private networks: The following networks are defined as reserved
private networks and no traffic should ever be received from or transmitted
to these networks through a router:

Fans of the testudinate pace and art-house vibe of writer-director Sally Potter's other works (Orlando, The Tango Lesson) will likely enjoy The Man Who Cried. Fegele (Christina Ricci) is a Russian Jew separated from her father as a child. Raised as "Susie" by an English family, she makes her way to Paris, where although the city's multiculturalism is vibrant, the Nazis are already on the rise and the secret of her origin becomes increasingly dangerous. The cast of The Man Who Cried is excellent; Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, John Turturro, and Harry Dean Stanton all do fine jobs in what could have easily degenerated into an accentfest. Depp and Ricci do very well with minimal dialogue--both go through the entire movie almost without speaking. The film moves at a leisurely pace and is beautifully shot. Not a film to show to a roomful of action movie fans, but it's well suited to people who like their films a little more European in flavor. --Ali Davis

In the beginning, DSL was a path out of slow dial-up speeds, then the cable companies developed HFC systems using DOCSIS for Internet. Now, Verizon claims FiOS is the fastest Internet you'll ever need. You gotta admit, these guys are great with the acronyms, but what do they mean? And how much speed do you really need?
Though modern cable systems send their signals on fiber as far as each neighborhood, they use the older coax for the "last-mile" to each home. This is called a "hybrid-fiber-coax" or "HFC" system. On these systems, cable companies use "DOCSIS" standards to convert one (or more) of their 100+ TV channels to a 30-40Mb/s shared Internet connection, which is then shared by as many as 250 homes.
With FiOS, Verizon took a simpler but more expensive approach. Rather than stopping at the neighborhood loop, Verizon ran a fiber strand to every grouping of 2-3 homes. This provides them with much higher bandwidth and, at first glance, removes the need for shared Internet.
However, FiOS shares one limitation with its older cousin DSL. DSL was the phone company's first attempt to provide high-speed Internet. It provided a (relatively) high-speed dedicated connection to the phone company's central office, and at the time, phone companies ran memorable ads about cable users complaining to their neighbors about tying up the net. However, what they didn't tell you is that the phone companies did some Internet connection-sharing of their own. Their central office contained a switch which connected all the DSL users to a single "back-haul" connection to the Internet. The capacity of the back-haul was significantly less than the sum of the capacity of all the user connections. In fact, the technical name of the switch was a "statistical multiplexer" because it dolled out limited back-haul capacity to satisfy user requests as best it could, just as the cable solution tries to provide balanced access to the limited local loop.
FiOS employs the same "statistical multiplexer" technology, doling out limited back-haul bandwidth to hundreds of users. Thus, it's hard to say whether FiOS seems better because it has more bandwidth, or because Verizon's penetration in a typical town is less than 30-percent, leaving much of their capacity underutilized for now.
How does this translate to surfing speed? Well, simple web-surfing rarely requires more than 2Mb/s of bandwidth (the speed of a good DSL connection or a first generation cable modem or wireless network). Games don't often require much more (though games also require low-latency, which is another story).
Any speed above the first few Mb/s may be unnoticeable to you unless you are downloading or streaming. Both cable and FiOS provide ample speed for downloading software or streaming audio and MP3 files. In fact, it's likely that your download speeds for these sort of files are limited by the source rather than your connection. For example, if iTunes or Adobe won't permit an individual download to use more than 1Mb/s of their capacity, the rest of your 5Mb/s (or 15Mb/s) connection will go unused.
When does really high speed matter? In a word: Video. We all want larger, higher-resolution pictures when we stream, and really fast downloads of our favorite TV shows and movies. Unfortunately, making these wishes a reality requires more than the fastest FiOS you can buy. It requires massive servers that can simultaneously provide thousands of streams of high-speed content, and an Internet infrastructure that can provide sufficient bandwidth for all those simultaneous streams. Video support will be lacking until the entire Internet infrastructure can easily support hundreds of thousands of users downloading at speeds in excess of 1Gb/s. 1Gb/s would allow you to download an hour of regular video in a minute, or an hour of HD video in 5-10 minutes (remember when it took that long to download a song?).
Here's where the law of unintended consequences kicks in. When these upgrades come, probably in 5-10 years, they will also bring the end of cable/satellite television as we know it. Just as Internet radio provides thousands of streaming choices today, IPTV will provide thousands of video choices, 24 hours a day. The set-top box manufacturers see this coming, and are developing a new generation of boxes that will provide IPTV choices along side conventional channels. However, the networks, and the cable companies, are still figuring out what role they will play in the new order.
So, how much speed do you need? Well, if you're a light-use surfer, consider DSL if you can get it, as it's usually the cheapest option by far. You will surf just fine, and downloads and YouTube will work OK.
For the more serious user, either HFC cable or FiOS is capable of giving you a fine surfing experience. Either can provide music or software downloads at commendable speed and will do at least a reasonable job with quality video. If you notice a big difference between these in your neighborhood, it's probably because the slower provider hasn't properly tuned his network. For the same price, FiOS may be a safer bet, as the larger raw bandwidth can mitigate many network issues, and put you in a better position to take advantage of future network upgrades. But if you like the cable package better, and they are offering competitive download speeds (above 5Mb/s), give them a try, you won't be giving up much.
For serious video watchers and downloaders, get all the speed you can, but keep your expectations realistic, as the Internet is still evolving to keep up.

Otocycles Are E-Bikes With Vintage Flair
Using lightweight steel and a 36-volt NCM battery powering a rear hub motor, Otocycles are available in one of two design flavors, Otok and Otor. A handlebar-mounted LCD screen draws power from the pedals, providing unspecified information while a headlight lights the way at night. It's the complete package, and unique enough to stand out in an increasingly crowded field.
On its own, the battery has enough life to take you some 26 miles before needing recharging, at speeds up to 15.5 mph. With the rider pedaling along, the Otocycle can go up to 37 miles before being plugged in
Built by a family of designers and engineers based in Barcelona, Spain, the Otocycle has plenty of competition from designers both near and far. Should the predictions of e-bike dominance play out however, the Otocycle could stand to carve a comfortable niche for itself with simple mechanics and a timeless design, though the $3,700 starting price puts it beyond the reach of most. Then again, $3,700 is a lot less than $30,000, the average cost of a new car in the U.S., or paying monthly parking fees on a beat-up used car.
Is there room in your garage for one of these Otocycles?

For a period of more than ten years since leaving home for college I had felt pulled in all directions by anti-racist struggle, by the feminist movement, sexual liberation, by the fundamentalist Christianity of my upbringing. I wanted to embrace radical politics and still know god. I wanted to resist and be redeemed. The Raft Is Not the Shore helped strengthen my spiritual journey. Even though I had not met with Thich Nhat Hanh he was the teacher, along with Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who were my chosen guides. Mixing the two was a fiery combination.
As all became well with my soul, I began to talk about the work of Thich Nhat Hanh in my books, quoting from his work. He helped me bring together theories of political recovery and spiritual recovery. For years I did not want to meet him face to face for fear I would be disappointed. Time and time again I planned to be where he was and the plan would be disrupted. Our paths were crossing but we were never meeting face to face.
Then suddenly, in a marvelous serendipitous way, we were meeting. In his presence at last, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude that not only was I given the blessing of meeting him, but that a pure spirit of love connected us. I felt ecstatic. My heart jumped for joysuch union and reunion to be in the presence of one who has tutored your heart, who has been with you in spirit on your journey.
The journey is also to the teacher and beyond. It is always a path to the heart. And the heart of the matter is always our oneness with divine spiritour union with all life. As early as 1975, Thich Nhat Hanh was sharing: "The way must be in you; the destination also must be in you and not somewhere else in space or time. If that kind of self-transformation is being realized in you, you will arrive."
Walking on loves path on a sunny day on my way to meet my teacher, I meet Sister Chan Khong. She too has taught me. She felt my hearts readiness. Together we remembered the teacher who is everywhere awakening the heart. As she writes at the end of Learning True Love, "I am with you just as you have been with me, and we encourage each other to realize our deepest love, caring and generosity . . . together on the path of love.
* * *
bell hooks: I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United States is moving away from love. The civil rights movement was such a wonderful movement for social justice because the heart of it was loveloving everyone. It was believing, as you taught us yesterday, that we can always start anew; we can always practice forgiveness. I dont have to hate any person because I can always start anew, I can always reconcile. What Im trying to understand is why are we moving away from this idea of a community of love. What is your thinking about why people are moving away from love, and how we can be part of moving our society towards love.
Thich Nhat Hanh: In our own Buddhist sangha, community is the core of everything. The sangha is a community where there should be harmony and peace and understanding. That is something created by our daily life together. If love is there in the community, if weve been nourished by the harmony in the community, then we will never move away from love.
The reason we might lose this is because we are always looking outside of us, thinking that the object or action of love is out there. That is why we allow the love, the harmony, the mature understanding, to slip away from ourselves. This is, I think, the basic thing. That is why we have to go back to our community and renew it. Then love will grow back. Understanding and harmony will grow back. Thats the first thing.
The second thing is that we ourselves need love; its not only society, the world outside, that needs love. But we cant expect that love to come from outside of us. We should ask the question whether we are capable of loving ourselves as well as others. Are we treating our body kindlyby the way we eat, by the way we drink, by the way we work? Are we treating ourselves with enough joy and tenderness and peace? Or are we feeding ourselves with toxins that we get from the marketthe spiritual, intellectual, entertainment market?
So the question is whether we are practicing loving ourselves? Because loving ourselves means loving our community. When we are capable of loving ourselves, nourishing ourselves properly, not intoxicating ourselves, we are already protecting and nourishing society. Because in the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change. We may not have done anything but when we are relaxed, when we are peaceful, when we are able to smile and not to be violent in the way we look at the system, at that moment there is a change already in the world.
So the second help, the second insight, is that between self or no-self there is no real separation. Anything you do for yourself you do for the society at the same time. And anything you do for society you do for yourself also. That insight is very powerfully made in the practice of no-self.
bell hooks: I think one of the most wonderful books that Martin Luther King wrote was Strength to Love. I always liked it because of the word "strength," which counters the Western notion of love as easy. Instead, Martin Luther King said that you must have courage to love, that you have to have a profound will to do what is right to love, that it does not come easy.
Thich Nhat Hanh: Martin Luther King was among us as a brother, as a friend, as a leader. He was able to maintain that love alive. When you touch him, you touch a bodhisattva, for his understanding and love was enough to hold everything to him. He tried to transmit his insight and his love to the community, but maybe we have not received it enough. He was trying to transmit the best things to ushis goodness, his love, his nonduality. But because we had clung so much to him as a person, we did not bring the essence of what he was teaching into our community. So now that hes no longer here, we are at a loss. We have to be aware that crucial transmission he was making was not the transmission of power, of authority, of position, but the transmission of the dharma. It means love.
bell hooks: Exactly. It was not a transmission of personality. Part of why I have started writing about love is feeling, as you say, that our culture is forgetting what he taught. We name more and more streets and schools after him but thats almost irrelevant, because what is to be remembered is that strength to love.
Thats what we have to draw courage fromthe spirit of love, not the image of Martin Luther King. This is so hard in the West because we are such an image and personality driven culture. For instance, because I have learned so much from you for so many years of my life, people kept asking me whether I had met you in person.
Thich Nhat Hanh: (laughs) Yes, I understand.

Hawker Dismisses Union Claim of Cuts
In a letter to Hawker Beechcraft employees July 23, vice president of human resources Rich Jiwanlal dismisses union allegations that the Wichita-based OEM is planning cuts that "could shrink Hawker's total hourly work force by as much as 75 percent within the next two years, without a guarantee of even the last few jobs remaining." In his letter, Jiwanlal did not mention the union, but said, "News sources have speculated that 50 to 75 percent of our company's workforce is being reduced. This information is simply not true." He further pointed out that no employer can guarantee having no job losses, especially in this economy. And he reiterated what Hawker Beechcraft chairman and CEO Bill Boisture said in his own letter to some 6,000 Hawker employees in Wichita three days earlier: that the company is "exploring ways to address our company's overall footprint, particularly in our production and manufacturing areas." Both letters were in response to reports that Hawker is planning to adjust its cost structure, including moving parts of the business to other locations within and outside the United States. Both Boisture and Jiwanlal emphasized that "no decisions have been made at this time regarding alternate locations."

I didn't know if they particularly liked Idaho or if it was a particular play on words stating the person's occupation. However, if it was, what is the possibility that someone else from Virginia decided to have "Idaho" as their license plate, maybe it was a professional tradition and the best "ho" in Virginia got the first Idaho and the ranking went on down the line, if that was the case, I was taking the wrong route pondering why someone thought it would be witty or even possibly quirky to have "Idaho2" as their license plate and I should be waving that person to the side of the road to strike a deal.
I think if vanity plates are to be acquired, they should be funny, possibly even distasteful. I grew up in Virginia and appreciated college football. For college football fans there is no more bigger rivalry than between VT and UVA (and possibly WVU, if they were any good). For me, if I were to purchase a vanity plate, I'd want to have it say "Gina's". How great would that be? I have a UVA sticker in my possession that I want to stick in front of it so people behind me will read, "UVA" then "GINAS". Needless to say, I am a VT fan.

Hallow held one of her meeting things for the coven. I don't know the official name for them even now, which just goes to show how new I still am to all this. Kind of pathetic, right? I go, but mostly I just stay quiet and try not to embarrass myself. At least unless she needs something… I try not to think about that.
Anyway, it wasn't such a bad night, and I think I learned a lot. Really. The whole thing made me really sick, though. Not like, emotionally sick. Physically sick. She says I'm just extra sensitive to magic, that it'll fade in time, but I don't really know. I trust her though. Why wouldn't I? She's taught me everything I know, and she's been so good to me.
At least Brody wasn't there tonight.
Anyway, she and everyone else left as I stumbled out back to get sick, like I usually do. I try to wait till everyone leaves so no one else notices. It's awful to be throwing up and have people see you. I try not to eat on days I know Hallow's holding her meetings. It's better that way, though it makes the headaches worse. No one else seems to have this problem.
Whatever, it doesn't matter. At least Brody wasn't there tonight.
Anyway, while I was trying to stop the dry heaving, I heard this tapping. It was so weird, because I was completely alone, and at first I thought it was just my brain throbbing or something. Migraines can do that to you, you know? But it wasn't, cause I started hearing voices. Once I figured out I wasn't actually hallucinating, I started talking to the voice. The guy the voice belonged to thought he was hearing voices too. Turns out, he was stuck down in that storm basement or whatever for MONTHS. Can you imagine? Seriously? How awful!
I tried to open the doors, but they were locked. It's so strange that a storm basement would lock from the outside, but I guess it's somehow a safety thing? I don't know, it was weird, but I can't say I'm an expert on those kinds of things.
I told Jade (that's the guy's name) to wait for me, and ran inside to look for the keys. Hallow had them hidden pretty well, I guess to prevent robberies or something. They were inside a skull. Can you believe that? I mean, it wasn't real or anything. Who keeps a real skull? How would you even get one? Definitely fake. Still, creepy, right?
I took the keys and went back outside to let Jade out. It wasn't hard to pick out the right key, and soon enough, the door was open. Just like that! I can't imagine how he got stuck down there for so many months. He was talking about some bitch and being manhandled, but he was clearly delusional. He thought I was his conscience, after all, and I'm definitely no one's conscience.
He seemed really grateful to be out, though! He actually hugged me, which was completely awkward, but I was really happy to actually be able to help, even if it was such a small thing. He seemed desperate for some food and a shower, so I put the keys back where I found them and drove him home. Poor guy, he must've really missed his own bed. He was so surprised to hear it was May! I think he said he'd been stuck down there since December, but maybe it was longer?
Anyway, I hope he lets his family know he's okay. I know mine would totally freak if I were missing for so long. I think I'm gonna look up the guy's number so I can call and check if he's okay in a few days. I don't think he'd mind. Hopefully not, anyway.
It felt really good to be able to help someone tonight!
