Sorry I missed this, Ken. I have heard of it, but I have not read it. It's a wonderful concept in that it moves more cooking judgment (and therefore power) onto the cook (and away from the recipe writer or other). I am a fan of empowering cooks.
Interesting post, Caroline. Here is more analysis of the issue: http://observatory.designobserver.com/alexandralange/feature/rural-vacation-urban-questions/38032/
I have to admit, Krista, evolution doesn't scare me; it makes me feel less alone on the planet; humans are going through the same processes as all other organisms--sentient and insentient, animate and inanimate-- around us. That connection is much of what makes the world beautiful to me.
Yes, Scott. It also makes sense for all of us who cook and eat to see ourselves as data collectors for the common good. Scientific knowledge is produced as an adjunct to everyday life knowledge. Merging the two ways of thinking and data collection mechanisms could be exciting, I think.
Sorry I didn't see this follow-on anonymous. I am afraid your question goes beyond my experience, because I do not write recipes. However, other Culinate regulars surely can offer advice. Intellectual property is in freefall right now. I don't know how you can protect your original recipes if you are interested in developing an audience online. If you feel you co-own the recipes with the rest of your family, then my opinion is that you have to respect their wishes. But again that's just a personal opinion. My understanding has long been that if you share any information on-line, you understand you are freeing it to be copied and distributed infinitely. Others' opinions?
Thanks, Tara. I still have never cooked squid. I found another egg reference in my on-line travels today. Check out #64: http://www.dinneralovestory.com/100-rules-of-dinner/
I love the phrase "no can chicken noodle." I was saying it instead of "no can do" yesterday. The Gardeners Gala would be particularly for a group of people working side by side in a community garden. After all, they have to be eyeing up each other's produce sometimes.
I love the ingredient ID thought and also think it would be great to standardize such cards, with boxes that can be checked of commonly problematic ingredients. This would be a fun DIY project. But, as you point out, having to talk about the food one is proffering can be anxiety-producing for the less confident among us. That's why the cards are a less intimidating option that would probably be easy to make part of potluck culture.
I am glad to hear people love potluck as much as I do. It's like a pop-up food museum.
An heirloom Red Delicious sounds intriguing. Devin tells me that soil and weather conditions can also influence the flavor of a variety dramatically. I had some Pink Ladies that I disliked on a trip home a couple of years ago that puzzled me since until then I had considered them foolproof. He's planning on planting Redfield and Liberty this spring. I think maybe FedCo had Spencers, but I have to admit that I am experiencing nursery catalog vertigo right now.
I forgot that Nigel Slater's Toast features dramatic recipe withholding-- Slater competes with his step-mother for his father's heart.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzb1s9Aqir8
What an interesting bunch of analyses and observations. I had known yet not really appreciated how dishes preserve relationships and memories; so many of your stories get at that truth. I do want to make sure that we keep sight of the big picture. Judgments of an individual cook's choice aside, we cannot deny the complex ways in which a cook's capacity to wow a group with her kitchen skills dove-tails with her social identity in general. Secure or insecure, nice or not-so-nice; skilled, unskilled, or deskilled, we all are constantly being read by others when we present food. If we are to preserve some sense of harmony and kindness--of sisterhood, brotherhood, and family-- we need to explore our divisive impulses.
As I have said before, cooking doesn't necessarily contribute positively to our existence, but I think it can and should. Culinate is doing wonderful work to promote my ideal cooking world.
Of course, Amanda! Recipe giving emotions and actions depend on context. We learn about our relationships through unusual stresses on them. (It's kind of like figuring out who you feel comfortable asking for a ride to the airport.) This means that we sometimes cook for people we dislike. Also interesting.
I am now wondering what I would do if someone I disliked asked me for a recipe. I might also demure. Or what if my boss did (can't imagine that but. . . )?
Cooking and Power, 101.
The coffee did add some texture. The cookies grew on me a bit. But I was a little disappointed with the chips. I guess I expected more salt. (This reminds me: I put peanut butter and maple syrup on vanilla ice cream last night and it was fantastic.) Anyway, I agree that I like a wide margin between my virtuous snacks and my naughty snacks. If you are into naughty snacks, you should give the compost cookie a whirl.
I surely did caleb bo baleb. I am sure there was a little jelly essence condensing on my window panes. I am glad I am not the only one who has experienced jelly "do over" mode. Home-made grape jelly really is eye-popping, though-- totally worth it.
@drfugawe, We used to call ourselves "Deli Dogs" and "Kitchen Cats." And fighting like the proverbial cats and dogs was precisely what we did at times. In part, that was because most people who worked the counter were college students and those who worked the line were not. There must be a way of making more of what we learn about class and experience during those early jobs.
Gourmet went on a trompe l'oeil rampage too: http://www.gourmet.com/diaryofafoodie/video/2008/02/209_trompeloeil_preview
I have been eating venison for about twelve years now and though I struggled initially to find recipes for the meat (because I was unaccustomed to preparing meat in general), I am now a great fan. My favorite is still pan fried quickly on top of a green salad and roasted french-fry cut potatoes, a recipe I first encountered in Belgium.
Thanks for reading!
Sadly, I am a chronic undercooker. It's a joke in our household: "If Joan says the potatoes are done, wait ten more minutes."
You're hitting the nail on the head, as I believe you already know. Please keep hammering. From your friend who lives near farms (and farmers!) and also struggles with the "feed the bulldog/do things the right way" conundrum.
_Eating Animals_ made a big impact on me as well. Though I am still eating venison, wild caught local fish and locally raised bison and chicken, I continue to tip the balance toward vegetarianism (I have to admit I am too mentally lazy to touch veganism, so far...). I have had the discussion about the morality of eating non-human animals with myself so many times, I have to chuckle every time I wonder about it. Yes, we have canines; yes, we need protein; those facts suggest meat eating is defensible. Nonetheless, the energy and imagination devoted to creating healthy vegetarian meals is admirable. And people who actually think about where their food comes from are vital to the more sustainable world so many of us pine for. So I support you fully in your work (because it is work) and when I hear people defending some form of the status quo, I can't help but feel they are reacting to feeling threatened or judged by vegetarians. I know that I have felt that way in the past. Good luck in your quest.
I like the phrase "wild kitchen." I did not find any morels this year, but did get some fiddleheads. The nettles were there, but I sort of ignored them, for reasons I can't explain.

metasploit 2.7
aaron posted in Uncategorized on October 30th, 2006
As seen on a bunch of mailing lists, metasploit 2.7 has been released. On a related note, maybe we'll have to create a metasploit plugin for wicrawl, now that wi-fi exploits are coming to Metasploit. It's on the list of thigns to do anyway, but this definitely makes it more interesting.
The Metasploit Framework is an advanced open-source exploit development platform. The 2.7 release includes three user interfaces, 157 exploits and 76 payloads.The Framework will run on any modern operating system that has a working Perl interpreter. The Windows installer includes a slimmed-down version of the Cygwin environment.
Windows users are encouraged to update as soon as possible. A number of improvements were made that should make the Windows experience a little less painful and a lot more reliable. All updates to 2.6 have been rolled into 2.7, along with some new exploits and minor features.
This release is available from the Metasploit.com web site:
– Unix: http://metasploit.com/tools/framework-2.7.tar.gz
– Win32: http://metasploit.com/tools/framework-2.7.exe
The latest version can be pulled directly from Subversion:
$ svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework2/trunk/
A demonstration of the msfweb interface is running live from:
– http://metasploit.com:55555/
This may be the LAST 2.x version of the Metasploit Framework. All development resources are now being applied to version 3.0. More information about version 3.0 can be found online at:
– http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/
Exploit modules designed for the 2.2 through 2.6 releases should maintain compatibility with 2.7. If you run into any problems using older modules with this release, please let us know.

The captain said the airplane felt 'sluggish' during the takeoff roll. At V1/Vr, the airplane was rotated for liftoff. It climbed 10 feet, 'shuddered,' and sank. The captain elected to abort the takeoff. He landed the airplane on the runway, applied brakes and deployed the drag chute. The drag chute separated and the airplane went off the runway, down a hill, through a fence, across a road and grassy area, across another road, through a chain link fence, and collided with a power pole. The captain said they had calculated the takeoff performance using inappropriate tables, and failed to consider the wet runway and wind shift. The drag chute riser fractured at a point where it passed through a lightning hole. The lightning hole bore no evidence of a nylon grommet having been installed.

Facebook user locked out of account even with ID
A Facebook user shut out of the service due to a glitch last Tuesday was locked out for a further two days even after she proved her identity. The case of Christine C, a US-based marketing executive who asked us to withhold details of the organisation she worked for, raises wider questions about Facebook's handling of the …
Doesn't help to have an unusual name...
I was locked out of my Facebook account a year ago - apparently only "real people are allowed to have accounts on Facebook." I pointed out that I'd spent a fair amount of money advertising through them over the previous year and that though I may have a slightly unusual name it was reasonably obvious I was a real person. My account was reinstated a week later without much of an explanation as to why it was flagged in the first place.
Caspian Prince
Yes, really.
Wasn't there a film out about a year ago?
Wasn't there a film involving a character called "Prince Caspian" out last year?
That would probably explain the misunderstanding.
On the bright side...
Your name does make you sound like a stallion.
Paris Hilton, cos I had trouble believing that was a real name too
Really, really?
Seriously, really?
Your parents had some sense of humour!
I feel your pain
I had a similar problem.
my condolences
Perhaps someone should have got your parents something to read other than the Complete Works of CS Lewis. Although it could be worse, they could have selected 'Perelandra'. I'm James Joseph Jonathan. Three guesses as to which book _my_ parents liked.
In any case, I'd take that kind of bullshit as a hint that perhaps it was time to take my business elsewhere. Personally, I don't have a Facebook page. Or a MySpace page. Or, in fact, a page on any 'social networking' site. If I ever feel the need for putting up my own page on the Internet, I'll do exactly that: get a dedicated server and run my own site.
Re: Doesn't help to have an unusual name...
"Yes, really."
Wow! I am amazed you haven't had a "cease and desist" letter on behalf of Walden Media and Disney yet. The MPAA's shysters must be asleep at the wheel.....
Inauthentic Identity
Does that mean that Lady Gaga is banned ?
Hey Caspian
Your Mum & Dad could have had a real sense of humour and called you "The artist formerly known as"
So THAT'S why...
....I haven't been able to reach Dawn Treader Holidays...
... would anyone with more than one brain cell use Facebook 'for work reasons' or anything other than idle chit chat about the latest soap episodes. FFS.....
For real work, maybe
But that doesn't mean that things like media companies avoid the place too.
I'd guess the peeps from Zynga use FB for work, too.
Sperical, plural
"Facebook requires users to provide their real first and last names. Impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited, as is maintaining multiple profiles on the site."
But they don't check, do they?
There is a fair bit of chat on the various games groups where it is clear there are peope with multi-multi acounts.
There are loads of users who have recent pictures that show they are well below the minimum age for Facebook.
All you need is an email account to confirm registration and email accounts are found falling out of packets of breakfast cereal.
If they really, really wanted to check they would lose one hell of lot of 'members'.
All they had to do was own up that they'd fucked up and not do the usual corporate thing of shittng on anyone but themselves.
Using Facebook for Work purposes
"Christine uses the account for work reasons, using it to manage two groups, and the permanent exile of her account would have meant handing over the reins for this to a colleague."
Anyone that uses Facebook for their work/business deserves to have their account disabled.
Especially if they post sensitive information. Hackers will have a field day.
She manages teams in her business with Facebook?
Is that not the height of stupidity? Kind of asking for problems there...
Truly shocking...
...probably the kind of company that hosts their critical apps and data on Windows servers!
Will someone please, PLEASE think of the children!
My favorite line:-
"Unfortunately, we will not be able to reactivate this account for any reason. This decision is final."
Then they reactivate it.
How lucky can you get
"Christine duly submitted her picture, but was given the cold shoulder and informed that the account had been permanently suspended,"
All those people that have tried to close their accounts and failed must be insanely jealous.
Yet another reason to jettison Facebook - and using it for work!
She should move her groups to another service immediately.
Obviously FB is ill equipped to deal with basic sort of problem.
And that idiot who allegedly owns FB thinks he is going to conquer the world?
Jelous Much?
That "Idiot" doesnt really give a shit about ruling the world so long as his (alleged) 6.9 BILLION dollar worth keeps on getting bigger
Fake Facebook IDs
I'm on Facebook with a fake name and fake face. I prefer not to get friend requests from people I work with for one thing, as I prefer to keep work and private life seperate. If I am ever obliged to use Facebook for work purposes that would definitely have to be a different Facebook account, in breach of FB T&Cs in order to avoid breaching my own privacy (which is a human right overriding FB T&Cs). The idea that FB could ever impose their T&C of one account per user is outrageous; a bit like someone owning how email works telling you you are only ever allowed one single email address.
The fact that people who are not FB customers (advertisers who pay FB's bills are FB's customers, not the users whose attention to advertisers are the commodity FB sells) are starting to consider FB an essential service, in the sense it becomes difficult to walk away if FB screws up your account is worrying.
What we need is a distributed social network that works like Web 1.0, in that it runs on any number of servers belonging to many parties so as a whole this doesn't belong to any single party. In this sense Web 2.0 is a regression to mainframe central control culture.
Writing as AC, because I don't want to link this in any way with my fake FB ID.
Inalienable human rights, and inevitable human behaviour
This person seems to feel that suspending her Arsebook account is unreasonable, and the kind of thing which she has the right to refer to a 3rd party for publicity and help in resolving - almost as if she has some kind of legal right to have her account reactivated, and indeed to use Arsebook in the first place. But Arsebook accounts are granted at the whim of Arsebook, and they have no moral or legal obligation to treat people fairly - as they have often demonstrated. Anyone who manages to end up depending on it for their work is just not thinking properly.
The problem with Arsebook is not what Arsebook actually does, but how people have decided to perceive and use it (the South Park episode "You Have 0 Friends" is recommended viewing on this subject). Just as it provides new ways to make friends and keep in touch, it also provides new things to fall out about, and new ways of insulting and abusing people.
But only for those who insist on taking it seriously. It's a toy, people - play away by all means, but don't assume it will still be there tomorrow, and if you don't like what's happening on it, just stop going there. And above all, don't try to use it as a way of making a living, unless your name is Zuckerberg.
Gov-issued ID's
1)Scan your passport
2)Submit it to an internet service known for its security
3)Find out in the news, that you've just participated in Mossad operation somewhere in Dubai
AC, obviously.
and that's just the problem.
Ironically, no one can steal your identity if you don't have any formal documents to identify yourself with.
So the solution to identity theft *wheels out Jacqui Smith* is obviously to give everyone formal documents to identify themselves with /facepalm.
It's like trying to combat muggers (didn't Jacqui say she was scared of them too?) by asking everyone to carry around a wad of £50 notes. And for every wad of cash the government issues, it will keep an equal amount in a poorly/un-guarded safe/cardboard box behind the police station and we all have to pretend that the money is safe. Madness.
And the worst part is, all that money will get claimed back directly through taxation anyway so the government doesn't really give a shit whether it's stolen or not. They just want to see if they can make us do things that we can plainly see are illogical.
I said it before
and I'll say it again... the fact it only affected "some women" makes it sound like some geeks at FB hatched a plan to get the home address of these women. Copies of government id should make it easy to stalk them later.
Facebook should be doing an internal audit to ensure the safety and security of these women has not been compromised.
"Unfortunately, we will not be able to reactivate this account for any reason." > ... bunch of liars > ..."Your account has been reactivated and you will now be able to log in."
"Its requests for the upload of confidential ID documents also seems like overkill"
Well, there's a neat little problem. What else is there? Right, so the "standard" approach is just to require you handing over your entire identity. And you only have one, or at least, most governments issue (most people) exactly one number, name to be supplied by your parents, and then the bureaucrats conveniently pretend that to be the entirety of you. We have no other formal ways of "identifying ourselves". It's probably time we worked on changing that, gave ourselves more options, that sort of thing.
I mean, it _would_ make eminent sense for government ID to only be usable for governmental purposes to the point of forbidding non-governmental parties to even ask for it. In fact, not doing that amounts to feature creep. But then various parties will cry bloody murder because they'll feel left out in the cold, and rightly so. And there's nothing wrong with accomodating them, but to untangle the mess we'll need more options, more ways of looking at the problems, and finding good ways to solve each, then combine those many solutions in a system that does all that in a way convenient for everybody while safeguarding privacy as much as possible.
Yes, this is a long way from existing now, yet we are increasingly in need of such a system.
some IDs should be single
And some should be multiple. Taxpayers don't like people claiming benefits or tax allowances through claims involving multiple IDs. Bank charges would be even higher than they are if banks established identity for new accounts less securely, but there are good reasons for having more than one bank account. The ID I have with my bank isn't the same as the ID I have with the passport office. I may choose to use one to establish the other but I may choose to use my driving license instead, yet another ID.
The reason for cultivating an ID which can be inherently one of many is that you may want to invest in its reputation. I have many email addresses. Some I create and throw away for a single sender, e.g. if supermarketX give me a special offer on condition I give them an email address I will create and they will get firstname.lastname@example.com given to them so I know if it gets sold on who did this, and so I can terminate the contact possibility whenever it suits me.
Had a similar problem
I had a similar problem with a fake account I set up. FB insisted that thay'd had complaints it had been abusing other users and then that my email address was invalid.
(Despite the fact that it had been successfully used to send me email before and also when telling me it was invalid, they never actually tried to connect to my mail server, just some internal process went "ah, @homeaddress.com, DENIED")
It was only "friends" with my real account and hadn't abused anyone. I can't disagree that it was breaking the rules, but never abused any other user.
After a few emails back and forth (with similar comments "your account is deleted and can never be re-enabled, it's impossible") it was re-enabled.
You do have to play the game though. You need to carefully read and follow instructions. Those instructions are only viewable if you have access to the relevant "help pages" (which means you will have to have an account, so if you are a genuine single account user, you're screwed)
Bizarrely, despite killing the account, it was still listed as a friend to my real account and I could still see all my profile details etc... Just not login. They couldn't even delete it properly.
Also, it's a female account and has survived the latest round of fake account deletion!
a US-based marketing executive
Sorry, but I'm with Bill Hicks on this one.
Don't take that as a hobble
take it as an opportunity to do something useful ...
/mine's the one with the locked out TheVulture account.
Two Things
The note from Sophos is right, a friend of mine is still the subject of a car sale scam due to him putting a photo of his passport on flickr about five years ago. (http://blog.jamiek.it/2009/11/hendry-kai-ian-car-sale-scam.html)
I was in China recently and tried to access Facebook (using a proxy). After arriving in Hong Kong I tried to access Facebook and was asked to name five friends, specified by photos. I thought this was quite a good security check, but I suppose this is a different issue.
All of you bashing FB advertising
I don't know if anyone has noticed but companies forming their own facebook pages is turning into quite a business. Using social media to advertise is popular and is a valid means of doing so. Check out how many companies out there are using this, in some cases only using FB instead of developing their own web page. No computer training needed. So expensive devs involved.
Do I breach FB's T&Cs?
I am British with a British name. I have a FB account, but I don't use my British name on it, because I choose not to. Instead, I make use of a foreign language's version of my name. It doesn't use the alphabet, either, so I use a romanization of a foreign language's version of my name. As it happens, I now live in that country, and people here know me by the name whose romanization forms my FB account. Does this mean I breach FB's T&Cs? The problem with making draconian rules, such as FB's, is that they can easily be found to be wanting and even stupid. A good case could be given for me to have two FB accounts: one for the people in the country I live in, and one for my friends and relatives back in the UK: the names would have to be different, because I am known by different names in either place. Unless one is using names for the purposes of fraud, in the UK you can choose to be called whatever you like, and FB's T&Cs need to pay attention to this. I would never send any official documentation to them to attempt to "prove" who I am, even if I could piut my hands on some.
Of course I have multiple accounts
My friends are not all friends with each other.
Of course I have multiple accounts. Who wouldn't? Unless you're part of a church group that doesn't permit you to make friends with anyone else we all have divided social lives.
And the idea of having your real name for everybody to see is plain retarded. I'm getting sick of facebook being the natural monopoly.

Ditto what Sebe says minus the 'taking a knee jerk conservative to an uber-liberal Democrat'. Take away Sebe's animus towards we Liberal Democrats, he should be pleased to know that Ms. Nunn is as Moderate as they come and have no difficulty casting a vote for her, rather than the, to be sure, just plain old Jerk Republican she will be up against.
Sam Nunn is fun, Sam Nunn is young, put Sam Nunn in Washington...oh wait my bad, that catchy tune was for a different Democrat named Nunn when they initially ran for Senate. Sam Nunn was a good Senator from Georgia, no doubt about it. But the breed of U.S. Senate Democrats in the early 70's and some even into the 80's was a whoooole lot different from the breed we have running around now, catering to just about every special interest group that there is. Michelle Nunn has the name, and perhaps she is a moderate, but some of you know what the Bible says about "luke warm", and in most cases, that's how I view a moderate. We don't know a lot about Ms. Nunn at this point, but in most cases, politicians do stick with party lines, and I know at the state and federal level, I don't like what I see when we speak of the Democratic platform. We may not know a lot about Ms. Nunn but we do know a lot about a guy by the name of Jack. Let's hope he is the guy to replace old Saxby in Washington.
Basically I'm in agreement with sebekm and MikeLongCounty.
We do know Jack Kingston and I'm more concerned with the race to fill his seat here at home. Don't know who I will support in our congressional race.
Career politicians of both major parties are at the root of most of our difficulty and blind allegiance to either party has given us nothing but gridlock.
Nunn's daughter is a fresh face and I like that. She comes from a family well entrenched in politics and I don't like that.
At any rate I think we will have an interesting campaign.
Well Jack Kingston is about as much a career politician as they come. Jack is good about coming home and talking like a middle of the road politician. But when he returns to Washington he behaves in a very strict hard line conservative Republican partisanship manner.
I will forever remember when he played the court jester in Congress when he went to the floor as televised on C-Span parading around with a mirror mounted on a broom stick with burning cigarettes. He was displaying hard line Republican views of a Democratic bill that was coming up for vote.
Of course, Choir boy Jack, was trying to say the Demo Bill was all smoke and mirrors. He looked the fool. But what can you expect from a failed insurance salesman who decided he could do better becoming a career politician.
The State Of Georgia has always been dominated by Republicans over the years, but it is possible that a Democrat could win.
Not sure if I could support anyone that favors fixing Obamacare versus repealing it. This is the largest piece of legislation that will have the most impact on the demise of America. It's too bad that she doesn't see it.

Truth be told, Weird Al's comeback was a zillion times better than the one orchestrated by Garth Brooks. (Sorry, Garth.) Weird Al returned to music this week with a new album and five music videos to go along with it. His new songs take on popular songs like Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," Pharrell Williams' "Happy" and Lorde's "Royals." His versions talk about everything from bad grammar to the Illuminati (in a song about foil, no less), and there are more music videos on the way. Welcome back, Weird Al!
Tags: What People Are Talking About
Garth Brooks is back with a vengeance. The country singer made headlines recently for two reasons: one, because he held a press conference yesterday to confirm his return to music and the concert stage (the latter of which he first revealed back in December during a "Good Morning America" appearance, at left); and two, because of Ireland. Poor ol' Ireland. Back in December, Brooks announced he would play two comeback concerts at Croke Park Stadium. When the shows sold out immediately, he added three more dates and ultimately sold more than 400,000 tickets for the five-night event. But several businesses and residents near the stadium complained about the shows; as a rule, only three "special events" are supposed to take place each year at the stadium. They asked him to cancel two of his shows. In response, Brooks — citing a desire to be fair to all of his Irish fans — cancelled all five shows. Basically: it's kind of a mess. Ireland aside, however, Brooks used his press conference to confirm several things: new music by the end of July; a new album sometime around Black Friday (his first, by the way, since 2001); and when more details about his upcoming tour will be released (July 14). All in all, given that people are talking about Garth Brooks again, I'd say it's probably a pretty good week for him.
Everyone knew soccer player Luis Suarez's name this week when he sunk his teeth into opponent Giorgio Chiellini during the match between Uruguay and Italy. The weird thing? This is not the first time Suarez has bitten an opponent. Biting someone once is one time too many, but multiple times? Seriously? Suarez was banned for nine international matches and suspended for four months from any football activity by FIFA. Of the bite, Suarez simply said, "I've collided with his shoulder" and insisted the whole thing wasn't a big deal. I imagine his feelings would be a little different had he been the one bitten in the shoulder, but okay. In less bizarre news, Team USA advanced to the World Cup knockout stage. Congrats, Team USA!
If you thought there was a chance you might escape the hype surrounding "Frozen" sometime in the near future... well, you're wrong. It looks like this movie will have an impact for at least a generation or two. As it turns out, the baby names "Elsa" and "Anna" are quickly gaining popularity. In the U.S., Elsa has seen an especially big jump as it broke into the top 100 baby names, sitting at 88. Anna, which has always been a relatively popular name, jumped two spots from 37 to 35. But in Sweden, Elsa is the third most popular name, while Anna is in the top 12 names in Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Denmark, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands. Alas, "Olaf" doesn't seem to be growing in popularity. Sorry, anthropomorphic snowman.
The World Cup began yesterday, to much worldwide excitement. The opening ceremony included a performance from Pitbull, J.Lo, and Claudia Leitte, as well as some dancing trees, which are part of today's adorable Google doodle! Following the ceremony, it was time for the game — but not before a moment of panic when Brazilian footballer Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior appeared to twist his ankle in the warm-up. However, he recovered in time for the World Cup opener, and Brazil pulled out a 3-1 win against Croatia. While the U.S. team won't have it's first game until Monday, there are still plenty of games to check out before then.

Thinking Blocks is an incredible resource to develop Algebraic Reasoning. Students can learn at their own pace as they are guided step-by-step through word problems. Using manipulatives, students are able to work out the problems in the "Build Your Model" section and get feedback and guidance on how to solve the problem from the "tutor." In the "Practice" section, students get a video tutorial showing how to solve the type of problem they're working on. There's even a "Modeling Tool" where teachers can create their own problems to work on with students during direct instruction or to print out for independent work.
"When are we going to use this in the REAL WORLD?" Ever hear that from your students about the math they're learning? Well, Math Apprentice is the answer to that question. Students enter a video game where they get to take on the role of an intern at one of 8 different companies, offering interesting jobs: Restaurant Owner, Bicycle Designer, Video Game Programmer, Robot Scientist, Computer Animator, Artist, Building Contractor, and Roller Coaster Engineer. Each job incorporates real-world use of math concepts, with activities to complete. This site really hits home the importance of math for students, and opens up opportunities for discussion of how math will connect to their futures.

Nighttime Recovery
Amino Acid & Herbal Supplement
Muscle recovery is critically important for a weight-training program to be successful. Minimizing the soreness that occurs as muscles repair themselves after exercise is a major challenge for anyone who participates in intense workouts. Furthermore, well-managed muscle recovery also supports increased muscle production. During the recovery process while we sleep, the body releases its constructive hormones in the largest quantities. Supplying the body with proper nutrition to support recovery at bedtime is therefore vitally important in gaining maximum support for the synthesis and release of strength and healing hormones. Most of the benefits to be gained from weight training occur after the workout, and therefore feeding the body with the right nutrition at the right time is of utmost importance for those who want to optimize their efforts.
About one in four American adults engage in no physical activity. One negative health consequence of an inactive lifestyle for senior adults is a gradual loss of muscle mass as they age. This decrease in muscle mass results in a loss of strength and limitations in physical movement. Researchers have demonstrated that with proper diet and exercise, those debilitating effects can be avoided and in some cases even reversed. By adding the correct combinations of dietary supplements into their daily diet and exercise programs, individuals of all fitness levels and ages can make the most out of the time they invest in health and wellness.
THE SOLUTION: Nighttime Recovery
To enhance the benefit of your body's natural processes, Nighttime Recovery supplement
incorporates a unique combination of adaptogens and other nutrients from around the world
to allow your body to more effectively respond to the demands of physical activity.* It naturally
supports the production of growth-related hormones, and it enhances energy production, helping
the body sustain higher workloads before the onset of fatigue.* The adaptogens in Nighttime
Recovery support the body's ability to respond to stress such as physical training.*
Nighttime Recovery is most effective when used as part of the Performance Elite system. While
other products in the line provide pre-workout support and immediate post-workout recovery,
Nighttime Recovery provides enhanced muscle growth and supports muscle repair while you
sleep.* It is equally beneficial for non-athletes who wish to nourish and support their muscles.*
Directions For Use:
For ages 18 and older.
Following the chart below, take the recommended number of caplets according to your weight,

Pleasantly surprised!
Slotbuddy from Newton, NJ
Was a bit skeptical about ordering my spring form pan on line and being unable to actually feel its weight, etc. However, I needed it to bake a cheese cake for my daughter's birthday and my husband had accidentally thrown away the bottom of my old one after Christmas and could not locate a 10-inch pan locally. This pan is actually a better quality than my old one. Price was certainly competitive as well.
Very nice!
Slotbuddy from Newton, NJ
Purchased this pan to replace an old one after the bottom part was lost on the old pan. This pan is a heavier, more durable quality pan than I expected for this price. I use it to make cheesecake and only cheesecake so I did not want to spend a lot of money on something that I only use occasionally. I was especially pleased to find something that was NOT made in China.

U-Freight delivers the fine art of shipping
U-Freight Singapore has recently set up a new division, ArtSafe to
promote its logistics hub as a fine arts storage facility; as well as an
exhibit space for the showcasing of artwork by local artists.
A large area of the company's modern logistics center at Changi Airport
has been converted into a highly secure, climate-controlled, storage
area; plus a grand hall where artworks can be displayed.
For the future, ArtSafe Singapore intends to organize a global team to
handle art logistics with participation from companies throughout the
U-Freight network.Those art logistics services may involve the movement of fragile,
valuable and priceless art pieces to parks, buildings, hotels, museums,
art galleries and private collectors around the world.
The service will offer museum/gallery-standard specialised and
custom-designed art packing and crating; insurance cover; temporary
import and re-export customs clearance; as well as air-ride
transportation where necessary.
The main target audience are international galleries, with a presence in
Singapore; as well as Auction houses.
TH Ong, managing director of U-Freight Singapore, said: 'Whether you are
a collector, an impresario, an auctioneer, a gallery owner, a museum
curator or an artist ' you should never lose sleep over freight deliveries.
'We appreciate the power and value of the arts; and fully understand
that nothing short of spotless handling and respectful treatment is the
only appropriate treatment for works of art.
'Service is what makes the difference at ArtSafe. You can comfortably
leave all the planning and coordination of your art storage and shipment
to us.'

Though uniformly held as sacrosanct, the right to vote in America remains subject to much needless abuse. That's not to say that one or the other political parties still stuffs the ballot box the old-fashioned way, with votes of the dead for their candidates while losing boxes of ballots for opponents. Rather, it's to underscore that despite periodic reforms, flaws in voting processes -- and new ways to blatantly suppress the votes of likely opponents -- continue to haunt our most vital constitutional franchise.
A broad new study by the Pew Charitable Trusts, covering every state in the union, points out a range of common flaws that have become endemic in voting systems in some states: long wait times at the polls particularly in urban areas, problems causing rejection of absentee and provisional ballots, and the accuracy of ballots.
Other reports confirm the obstructive hardships of patently transparent voter suppression tactics, including the manipulation of early voting days and hours, onerous new requirements to meet voter ID standards, and the premature closing of precincts on election days while voters were still waiting outside. These are among the tactics used to thwart or exclude particular blocs of voters and minority groups.
Hours-long wait lines in some key Democratic precincts in Florida, for example, are now estimated to have caused hundreds of thousands of voters to give up waiting, and to go home or back to work without voting. And Tennessee's harsh voter ID system still hinders voting by the elderly, minorities and the disadvantaged.
Such problems have become so perniciously partisan in some states that President Obama is likely to call in his State of the Union address Tuesday for federal minimum time-frames for early voting and online registration.
Even as existing flaws in the voting system are attracting focus, Republicans in select states with a majority of GOP congressional members have begun pushing for a new formula for dividing electoral votes to maximize their clout in presidential elections. The revised formula would give smaller rural congressional districts more electoral votes than those accorded to larger gerrymandered districts in these state's urban centers, negating the popular vote advantage for a Democratic presidential candidate.
If this scheme had been in place in the swing states of Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania last November, Mitt Romney would have won the election with 277 electoral votes to President Obama's 261 electoral total -- never mind Obama's 5-million-vote advantage in the national popular vote.
The problems pointed out by the Pew Charitable Trusts are more invidious, yet perhaps more easily addressed than the new GOP tactics designed to give the presidency to a minority white Republican candidate as the nation's demographics shift.
Problems cited by Pew generally relate to building sufficiently large and well-trained staff for handling mail ballots, provisional ballots and the accuracy of ballots. The problems appear greater in urban centers and less affluent areas. A related study by Charles Stewart III, at M.I.T., found that Democrats had longer wait times than Republicans; that wait times were higher in urban areas; and that whites had shorter wait times than blacks and Hispanics. Surprisingly, early voters had longer wait times on average than those on voted on Election Day.
One pertinent caveat to the litany of problems affecting states' myriad election and ballot problems is this: Washington state and Oregon avoid all the wait time, early voting and precinct-related issues because they have adopted, and virtually perfected, elections based solely on mail-in ballots.
The range of state issues and problems connected to states' disparate voting systems should be subject to an easy fix through uniform model ballots and rules that simplify identity, residency and voter verification standards. That America still lacks a well-functioning election system owes mainly to states' resistance to uniform standards, and to an overly partisan embrace of local and state voting systems that suit the party in power.
Voting rights may be sacred, but power over voting rules still goes to the politicians in power.
Voting could be easier, but those problems don't strike me as too serious: someone who really wants to vote these days can, unlike, say, southern blacks 60 years ago. I don't notice this editorial referring to any news about actual particular people unable to vote.
But voter fraud is still a genuine problem the article should not brush off, according to a fairly recent book (within a year?) mentioned in National Review Online. Some Democrat running for Congress in Maryland? got into hot water for it. The video showing a white man letting the poll workers think he was Eric Holder and getting an invitation to vote without ID shows possibilities. World magazine staffers in the A.D. 2000 election had several opportunities to cast unlawful ballots. Everyone now admits Lyndon Johnson stole his senate seat. Vote difficulties may be worth fixing (ID is a reasonable requirement, as it is for other things), but vote fraud hits near the root of democracy, and needs to be fixed. Whatever we think of those elected or of those who elected them, honest voting gives some chance of fixing such mistakes. Fraud may tempt a turn from ballots to bullets. Huey Long couldn't be voted out. He was shot.
"I don't notice this editorial referring to any news about actual particular people unable to vote."
Do more research.
"But voter fraud is still a genuine problem the article should not brush off"
No, it is not. Several studies have shown that voter fraud is nearly non-existant.
"(ID is a reasonable requirement, as it is for other things)"
It only started to be "a reasonable requirement when Barack Obama became President.
"but vote fraud hits near the root of democracy, and needs to be fixed."
Nothing is broken. Voter fraud is a non-issue.
10 Feb NRO article: 19 people in Ohio voted twice last year?
Tell the Times to do research--their editorial didn't cite any actual cases. Your research cites "nine people." Can we call nine a non-issue? The nine had paperwork problems, not constitutional problems. Let people in such cases decide who they want to vote for and ask that party for help getting the paperwork done. The point of ID is ID, not paperwork, so I'd be OK with ID laws allowing for appeals and exceptions. If someone has been signing voting rolls which still exist (do they?) for the last 30 years, maybe their signature would be ID enough to secure new ID.
"10 Feb NRO article: 19 people in Ohio voted twice last year?"
Conveniently, you've provided no link.
"Can we call nine a non-issue?"
Absolutely not. One person not being able to vote undermines democracy.
"The nine had paperwork problems, not constitutional problems."
It's never been about "constitutional problems. It's all about changing voting laws. Then it becomes all about paperwork. You've unwittingly found that to be the case.
"Let people in such cases decide who they want to vote for and ask that party for help getting the paperwork done."
It doesn't work like that.
"The point of ID is ID, not paperwork, so I'd be OK with ID laws allowing for appeals and exceptions."
There are no appeals or exceptions with the new voting laws and now the Republicans are trying to rig the election by changing electoral college.

text: Alleged Google Employee Shouting At Protestors Turns Out To Be A Union Plant by A.J. Delgado 9 Dec 2013 Share This: Business Insider's Steven Kovach reported today on a video of an alleged Google employee shouting at protestors that they should move elsewhere if they cannot afford the city. Protestors in San Francisco are currently demonstrating against Google, claiming the tech giant's wealthy employees are driving up rent prices and forcing others out of the city. The video shows a man, originally described by the San Francisco Bay Guardian as a Google employee, confronting the protestors, shouting: "I can pay my rent! Can you pay your rent?… Well, then, you know what? Why don't you go to a city where you can afford it? 'Cause this is a city for the right people who can afford it! If you can't afford it, it's time for you to leave…. I'm sorry…. If you can't pay your rent, I'm sorry -- get a better job!" As Kovach cautiously noted, though: "It's unclear if this man is really a Google employee though. In fact, it seems like he's a plant by the protesters or just a random sympathizer." Debate immediately ensued on Twitter as to whether the man was, in fact, a Google employee, and whether the confrontation was genuine, with Henry Blodget, Business Insider's chief, Tweeting it was "almost certainly staged." Bloomberg's Brad Weiner's chimed in: "If he's not a plant, I'll eat my hat." As it turns out, the confrontation was indeed staged. Per Kovach's update: Rodriguez [the reporter who uploaded the video] tweeted that the "Googler" was a plant, put there by a union organizer. It turns out the fake Googler is actually Max Bell Alper, a local activist who was born to juggler parents in Illinois, according to his biography on "Making Change Media." Entitlement-protest? Check! A plant used to smear the opposing view and evoke sympathy for the protestors? Check! Facilitated by Big Labor? Check! What else is new?

The pilot obtained the local weather information and observed the windsock. Another airplane had just landed on runway 13, and with the weather information, he determined that he would take off on runway 13. The pilot said that he used a short-field takeoff technique with zero flaps, and the airplane encountered a wind gust and windshear conditions. The engine momentarily lost power and sputtered, and he checked the mixture control to make sure that it was at the full rich position and that the throttle was in. He maneuvered to avoid power lines and a circular agricultural irrigation system. The airplane then quickly lost altitude and the pilot nosed the airplane over to avoid a stall. The airplane impacted terrain about 2,850 feet from the end of runway 13, and approximately 1,000 feet to the right of runway centerline, damaging the firewall, wings, and crushing the fuselage bottom. Examination of the airframe, engine, and its fuel control unit identified no preexisting anomalies. The 4,984-foot-long paved runway had an uphill gradient of 1.5 percent and was at an elevation of 5,863 feet. The reported wind at the airport was from 330 degrees at 8 knots, gusting to 14 knots. The density altitude was calculated at 7,457 feet. The pilot who landed just before the accident said that the winds were variable between 330 to 350 degrees at 5 to 10 knots. He further reported that the sky conditions were clear and that he observed no windshear or hazardous conditions around the airport. The terrain surrounding the airport was flat agricultural land, which was gently rising to the south, about 150 feet per nautical mile. The airplane was near its maximum gross weight. The Pilot's Operating Handbook for the airplane states that prior to takeoff from fields above 3,000 feet elevation, the mixture should be leaned to give maximum rpm in a full throttle, static run up. According to the engine manufacturer, if the engine is properly leaned for a density altitude of 7,457 feet, the normally aspirated engine's maximum output of 180 horsepower (hp) would be reduced to 138 hp. Since the engine was not leaned, but was operating at full rich mixture, its output would have been reduced even further, thus not allowing the airplane to outclimb the rising terrain for the existing conditions.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

During the initial takeover and a subsequent four-day siege, militants went door to door in search of foreigners, then held them hostage, executed them, or used them as human shields. As a result, 39 people from nine countries died. Just two months later in March, the head of Exxon Mobil's Egypt and Cyprus unit was captured along with his wife by armed kidnappers in Sinai. They were held briefly before being released the same day.
While the two situations had different outcomes, they illustrate the growing danger for executives and employees while traveling for business purposes. Kidnappings and hostage situations, while infrequent, are a real threat that must be considered for executives and the security teams preparing them for transit, especially in certain high-risk parts of the world. By training for the worst case scenarios, a number of smaller but serious threats can also be addressed.
To truly prepare executives in counter-kidnapping tactics, practical skills must be honed. These skills were once the privilege of only a select few—namely security and protection professionals—but they must be taught to all members of the organization who may find themselves in harm's way. Because the potential for business growth and profit gained from international trips often outweighs the risk of doing business in dangerous areas, precautions must be taken and contingency plans devised to mitigate the inevitable risks involved.
There are four steps the chief security officer (CSO) of an organization or team responsible for travel security should take to increase safety whenever employees visit a potentially dangerous area of the world. Each part of this travel security plan includes a variety of nuances and could fill several articles. This article provides just a brief overview of these four steps: planning, training, tracking, and preparing for emergency procedures.
One of the most critical aspects of travel security is the planning stage. This crucial part of the process is also the most labor-intensive, so having a dedicated individual for this task can be of great value. Executives do not have the time or expertise to conduct a thorough and appropriate intelligence-gathering and travel-planning operation on their own. The dedicated individual can be the CSO of the organization or a specialist on staff appointed by him or her, a security team, or even a contracted intelligence company. Incorporating information from family members or other dependents who might be accompanying the executive is also necessary.
Modes of travel. Thorough, advanced planning is a detailed process that includes all aspects of travel, stay, and return to home base. Starting with the flight, the best mode of travel must be decided: commercial or private. Cost is a major factor, but the extra cost may be necessary if anonymity is an important element. Deciding where to leave from and where to land also plays a key role, as some places have less governmental involvement or may be located in better or worse areas in the country of destination.
