Passover dinner in downtown
I have a date night with my wife for the first game of the Kings playoff downtown on the 19th. Since this game is falling on Passover I still would love to take her out for dinner before the game. Id love to take her to the best passover dinner in Downtown LA. Can anyone recommend a place I can go for this type of dinner? Thanks
Generally, Passover Seder is held at home. The only place I can think of that will have a community seder downtown is at the Jewish Community Center at Chabad Downtown LA. I don't know how you are going to manage the Seder with all the mitzvots and getting to the game by a certain time frame. You are probably better off celebrating it at home and then going to the game. Or you could just go to Kerry Simon's LA Market adjacent to the game, and eat dinner on Passover--really good food. I am not sure how God would interpret that . . .

re: ranole
You could contact The Gorbals Downtown (home of the bacon wrapped matzah ball) and see if they have anything special planed.

Might not work for you and not in downtown but Akasha in Culver Ctiy is doing a PASSOVER SEDER 2011 two nights this year, You could make the First Night, Monday April 18th
also a Second Night, Tuesday April 19th Guest Arrival: 5:30-6:00pm Dinner & Traditional Short Seder: 6:00pm. I was there last year and it was a wonderful meal and night.

Angeli on Melrose is doning a passover dinner a few days later on Thursday April 21. Very nice evening of home cooking.
Angeli Restaurant

re: wienermobile
wienermobile, I am guessing Gorbals is not Kosher--hence the bacon wrap--let alone traditional Seder fare. Are Angeli and Spago having actual Seders with traditional fare? Same with Akasha since you were there last year.

re: apple7blue
Yes, very traditional not kosher but kosher style. Both Spago and Akasha do a short service. Only one seating each night at Akasha and Spago. 2 seatings at Angeli. Akasha's and Angeli's menus are both on line here:
9543 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232
re: wienermobile
Looking at the menus, I wouldn't say they are very traditional, but surprisingly traditional. Looks like Akasha is having an actual Seder for the op--could eat dinner there and take 10 E or just Venice or Washington downtown. Streets probably better for traffic. It'd be a tight fit though since dinner is at 6 and the game is at 7.
I'd say since its for his wife, he might just phone up the chef at Kerry Simon's LA Market or like you mentioned Spago, he could do the same with Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill or WP24--and have them do him a Seder meal. He could get there and eat leisurely and make the short walk to the game. Or anywhere nearby . . .
9543 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232
re: apple7blue
Akasha would not work night of the game. There is one seating and dinner is family style served in courses to everyone at the same time. Not a rushed evening. The deserts are wonderful and not to be missed. Last years event did not end till after 9pm.

re: wienermobile
For Passover Seder, that seems even more authentic. Yeah, I am still unclear what the op wants. I kind of assumed he meant some sort of traditional fare. Like if he meant best dinner that he could get her on Passover before the game nearby, I'd just recommend some downtown restaurants. I like Kerry Simon's LA Market and Bottega Louie myself. Weigh in op!

re: apple7blue
I thank you for all the good responses. I wasnt really looking for a full sedar just a passover friendly menu and I thought some restauraunts would have a different menu because of this. I ended up going to Katsuya with her at LA Live and just was careful on what we ordered.
re: ranole
I'm curious, since you were at LA Live why didn't you go to Rosa Mexicana ,since they had a Passover Menu?
If coming from the valley Art's Deli in Studio City is doing a special Passover dinner and menu all week April 18th to 26th.
Art's Delicatessen & Resturant

You can take her to Rosa Mexicano at LA Live. It is more a Gourmet Sephartic Menu, it is not Kosher not even Authentically Passover but take a look at their menu for Passover, I think this will work for you and it sounds like fun!
Rosa Mexicano
800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015
Just found 3 more Passover dinners new for this year, Bistro Garden at Coldwater in Studio City has a set menu at $48 per person, Chez Melenge in Redondo Beach has a special menu and La Cachette Bistro in Santa Monica full dinner $48 per person.

re: wienermobile
Of these three, are they "Kosher" or "Kosher Style"? Do any of the three have at least a minimal service with a few prayers & songs before the meal? Have you eaten at any of these three to know ifwhat their seder menu is & if it is tasty? I just tried & posted about the seder meals at Spago & Jar, having tried restaurant seders for the first time. Jar was good vut below Reform in its lack of ANY traditional content. The parents insist on at least a bit, & we got that from Spago. I know Angeli, Akasha, Street,& the afore-mentioned also do seders, but we will certainly look for another seder to do along with Spago next year. We need a bit of tradition, & I am the FOODIE who also wants the gourmet seder experience. -JET

re: Jet
Those restaurants all serve Kosher style, not kosher.
The only seder I have attended was Akasha's and the food and deserts were all delicious (incredible Red Wine Braised Brisket and all homemade deserts) and all served family style with a Rabbi conducting a short service. It was a true family evening with everyone from one to 101 in attendance all singing together. The restaurant fills every year so if you wish to attend next year make reservations early. It was truly a wonderful evening and I recommend it it highly. Chef Akasha makes you feel like you are a guest in her own home and part of her family.

re: wienermobile
Thanks, "Mobile", I think this will be our next night in addition to the Spago Seder for next year! Best, JET

Despite Being A Bears Fan, Aaron Rodgers Might Be My New Hero!
Being a die-hard Bears fan, I loathe the Green Bay Packers! Can't stand their fans or players! But I have to admit, Aaron Rodgers might be my new hero! Not only has he launched himself into NFL elite status after winning Super Bowl MVP honors but the Packers star recently politely refused a fan's autograph request on a Dallas Cowboys hat.
Rodgers politely told the fan he wasn't signing his Cowboys memorabilia. Supposedly, The Dallas supporter wasn't too upset.
I love the fact he did this. I'm not one to judge, but you have to be a moron to ask a member of one of the most hated Cowboy rivals to sign his "Packers" autograph on your Dallas Cowboys piece of memorabilia.
If nothing else, simply have him sign your t-shirt or shorts you're wearing! Heck, maybe even your shoes! Just not anything with another team on it! Agree? Let me know what you think.

Juan Mata insists he and his United team-mates will not be intimidated by Stoke's notoriously robust approach and is confident the Reds' quality will shine through when the sides meet this weekend.
The 25-year-old Spaniard made his United debut in the 2-0 win over Cardiff on Tuesday after completing his record move to Old Trafford last weekend. Mata now hopes to be involved again on Saturday at the Britannia Stadium in a game he says the Reds will relish.
"It has always been difficult to play against Stoke. But if you try to play quickly, you can get chances to score and put yourself in a good position," he told ManUtd.com and PA Sport.
"They like to play long balls and they are a physical team, but we just need to play our own game with the quality players we have."
When asked if the players would fear Stoke's battling approach Mata insisted the Reds are more than capable of holding their own.
"No, we won't be intimidated," he added. "The thing I like the most is to play. No matter what the stadium. I like to play in a stadium like this because it helps me to improve and I hope I can play a great game."

President Barack Obama and other national figures are speaking out against bullying, and the issue has received quite a bit of attention in the Valley.
The Concern Hotline serves people from Winchester to Page and Shenandoah counties who need to talk about any difficult issue they may be facing.
The fact that it's local is part of the appeal, says Executive Director Christine Mayman.
"To talk to somebody who has grown up in an area as comparatively isolated as Shenandoah County or Page County makes a difference in how they talk to you and how you can engage with them," explains Mayman.
For many teen victims of bullying, an anonymous phone call is also less threatening than talking to a parent or counselor.
"Maybe the issue they have is so intensely private or shameful or whatever that they don't want to talk to somebody that they have to see again," says Mayman.
The hotline has been working with Shenandoah County Schools to come up with a new way reach teen victims.
Right now, less than ten percent of calls come from teens, but many teens are victims of cyber-bullying.
Because internet access on phones allows cyber-bullying to be nearly anywhere, the Concern Hotline has been inspired to be everywhere as well.
"I've been thinking about ways we can meet them where they are, which is online which is electronically," adds Mayman.
Concern is considering Facebook, Twitter and text messages in the hope that becoming available in those formats will give teens another safe place to share and get advice.
Across the Valley, in Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County, the Office on Youth has also been recently involved in anti-bullying campaigns.
Representatives spoke at several local schools, teaching kids what it means to bully someone and that many students take part without even knowing it.
Workers say bullying is a common issue in Valley schools and being proactive and recognizing that everyone is responsible to stop it is the first step toward ending it.
"The problem is the whole environment, and the bully might be the first person that makes the comment, but then there's everyone around that buys into it and laughs and ignores it," says Diane Kellogg.

Good! The best use for a Horizon card is buying fresh, farm grown and raised food. It's better than buying frozen pizzas and popsicles.

The cost of firing up the grill will get you fired up.
The price of wholesale beef hit an all-time high earlier this month, and there's no sign it'll drop.
In case you haven't heard, the U.S. cattle and calf herd is at its lowest level since 1952.
Cattle producers have also been hard hit by poor pasture conditions, a lousy hay crop, drought and late freezing weather.
American beef-eaters are also competing with foreign carnivores, as more beef is being exported overseas.

Alas, I am removing it and moving to another Forum solution. The developer is target fixated on Joo!BB being a complete solution - basically everything you need on top of Joomla. On inch further and it would be a standalone system. He has made it clear he is not knowledgeable of, nor does he care about interfacing with other extensions - most notably CB. He replies that Joo!BB will have all the feature of CB and will even replace some core features of Joomla that he wants to do better. If you want a full featured Forum system that runs on Joomla (in about a year) this is a great package. But if you need to interface with other comments, ratings, blog, gallery, etc. extensions, this system is not the answer.
One warning: verify with your Hosting service if they have PHP 5 installed on your web service instance. I naively added a .htaccess file to favor PHP 5 over PHP 4, not realizing that I didn't even HAVE PHP 5 available. With GoDaddy hosting you have to specifically ask them to reconfigure your hosting environment and then ask them to put PP 5 in place.

Just a few days shy of Prince George turning one month old, Prince William and Kate released two informal family photos (dogs included!) taken at the Middleton's home in Bucklebury. Breaking from the royal tradition of an official portrait shot by a professional photographer on palace grounds, the casual garden pictures were snapped by Kate's father, Michael. A palace source tells PEOPLE Will and Kate thought having a family member take the photos was the "best way to capture the couple in a relaxed manner" – an indication of how the modern couple plans to handle baby's future milestones.

It's a gorgeous fall day here in Pennsylvania. The sky is clear, and the sun is warm. It would be great to open all the windows and then the shades to let in some of that beautiful air and light. But I'd have to run all over the house opening about 20 shades—and some of them are kinda dusty because I don't touch those a lot.
Wouldn't it be nice to press a button and all the shades would open up on their own?
I can really do that. Well, not me, because I don't have Lutron's Sivoia QS Wireless Cellular Shades with remote control operation. But you can get them by entering this contest here.
The Lutron Sivoia QS Wireless Shades make it easy to adjust your home's shades, and since they operate on battery power (the batteries last about three years), they're less complicated to install than other shade systems. You can learn a lot more about them here.

New gardener in New England
Hi, I've recently moved and I have the opportunity to plant a good size garden, at least 500 square feet available. I have very little gardening experience and don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend a good book, magazine or web site for starting a new garden from scratch? I'm in Rhode Island and would especially like to know what to plant when for my area. Thanks for any tips.
I like the Daves Garden site. (http://davesgarden.com
)It has a NorthEast Gardening board with dozens of knowledgeable contributors happy to help newcomers, and one of the best plant references and supplier evaluations available anywhere.
You can browse it for free and decide whether you want to member and post questions.
I found Barbara Damrosch's The Garden Primer of immense help when I started gardening. I haven't read the revised second edition, but I'm sure it is no less helpful than the first edition:
I also found Organic Gardening magazine a great help:
Here are some specific Rhode Island links. If you google "gardening in Rhode Island" you will find many more resources:
Good luck!
Our local Agway is offering some seminars but I also enjoy ones given by County Extension. You might find used copies of Crockett's Victory Garden at a used bookstore. This used to be a tv garden show filmed in Boston. The book is divided by months, explaining what to do each month. If you mean vegetables (and some flowers), the original book is great. If you mean flowers, I think there's a Crockett's Flower Garden. I love going over the chore list each week.
Gardenweb.com has a New England thread you might find very useful for flower gardening including news about plant swaps and nursery recommendations. There are other threads about specific topics such as vegetables or shrubs but you have to pay attention to the zones where posters live.
If you're talking vegetables, I would also see Johnny's Selected Seeds' website and sign up for their emails and facebook. You will find catalogs to offer a greater variety of seeds than a local store. If you want a really good selection of tomato plants, you might find them at the farmers market or word of mouth. I get mine from a local, backyard grower who puts a single ad in the NH Farmers Weekly Bulletin each year and I can buy individual plants. This morning I found another list from a local grower who sells at farmers markets. They are taking plant orders now. Check listings for vendors at farmers markets near you to see if there are any links or info about plants. I'll buy my annuals at the farm and feed store but their selection of tomatoes and peppers is pretty limited. Best wishes for a great season if spring ever gets here.
I would start with thinking about what you like to eat :). Plan to start small this year, and as you go through the seasons pay attention to the amount of light in different areas of your yard, what parts are wet, what parts are dry, etc. plant things that you like and see if they grow for you. (I love zucchini, but we are at ground zero for powdery mildew and I've given up on trying to grow it!)
Look at your neighbors yards to see what grows well. But realize that your microclimate may be different. My neighbor across the street gets morning sun in her south-facing front yard, and her bulbs and plants bloom a week or two before ours.
There's a book, I think it's called the New England Garden Guide that has specific recommendations for our area (I'm north of Boston).
Also, star a compost pile/bin ASAP. I made a cheap one out of a 30-gal plastic trash can: use a large drill bit to make holes all around the sides, and then cut out the bottom with a reciprocating saw. Turn the can upside down and put the lid over the cut-out bottom, weighted down with a brick. Fill it with your veggie scraps, used coffe grounds, and shredded newspapers.
Have fun!
The book that finally got me going was Mini Farming, Self-Sufficiency on 1/4 Acre by Brett Markham. It tells you every single thing you need to know, the hard way AND the easy way. Even goes into fruit trees, preserving and raising chickens. It covers it all, in simple English.
Any basic gardening book(s) will give you plenty of good info & ideas. Hit up your local library & bring home a bunch.
I've been gardening (vegetables, herbs, flowers, etc., etc.) since I was a little sprout - grew up in a gardening/farming family. What real basics have I learned?
START SMALL!!! Forget about the fact that you have 500 square feet at your disposal. You'll be absolutely amazed at how much time & effort goes into caring for even a small plot. There's soil improvement, planting, weeding, mulching, watering, harvesting, etc., etc. Nothing is sadder than a potentially fabulous hobby getting nipped in the bud by taking on too much too soon & deciding that it's just too much work. It doesn't have to be, so don't set yourself up for failure or discouragement.
GROW WHAT YOU LIKE TO EAT (or flowers you like to look at)!!! Seed racks & catalogs are like candy stores. So many choices, so little time, so little room. Or so it seems. Sit down & think about what you enjoy most & buy most from the supermarket &/or farmers markets. Then investigate what those plants will need in your garden. Nothing wrong with picking a new item or two that look interesting, but there's also nothing more boring than ending with 32,000 summer squash that no one is interested in eating.
MAKE A COMMITMENT!! Doesn't have to be engraved in steel or anything like that, but try to make a commitment to visit your garden once a day - even if nothing really needs doing - just to check on things. Pull a stray weed, pick off an insect pest (after you can tell bad bugs from good ones - lol!).
ENJOY IT!! Nothing is nicer than a side table & chair or two out by the garden to sit at & enjoy a cup of coffee/tea or glass of wine at some point during the day/evening and just enjoy the sight of the fruit of your labors.
re: Bacardi1
Great advice, Bacardi. I like to go out in the early morning to check for bad bugs/eggs and pull a weed or two. Since we do most of our outside work on weekends and put in several hours each day, I look forward to my husband declaring it is time for a tea break. We sit in the shade of a maple and enjoy the view.
Lots of good advice!
If anything, I might start with a couple of containers that when filled with a soil mix and water, you can still move around. And I'd start with small reasonably hardy type plants. If you're a foodie, maybe start with a couple of herbs: basil, thyme and sage, for instance. Or relatively quick greens: lettuce, spinach and swiss chard. That way you can figure out where the sun is each day, what critters (cats, birds, deer, etc.) might want to eat your garden and other aspects of your microclimate. Windy on one side of the house? Move the planter if necessary and so on. Maybe your thought is a space that has great sun in the spring but is pretty shaded by August as the sun angle lowers along with the fully leafed out trees.
Each space really does come with differences and taking the time to learn yours will pay off.
http://microcosmpublishing.com/catalo... I used this book a lot for my first garden. It was super useful! Also talking to your local extension office can let you know which zone you are in and test the soil for you.
Try tomatoes. They are foolproof! I planted, hardly ever watered, weeded once a month and got more than I and my extended family could ever eat! :-)
Hi Idyllwild,
When I was a novice gardener, I relied heavily on advice from my local greenhouse. Lots of people....both the employees and customers I met...were eager to share helpful advice, and to offer "home remedies" (for example, an epsom salts solution saved my young dogwood tree).
The good thing about human contact is that they can "show" you, and not just tell you, what to do.
I live in Northern Mass, and the area's maple and pine trees love the acidic soil. Fortunately, so do blueberries, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, and all sorts of lovely veggies.
I do recommend trying tomatoes...plum tomatoes have taken off for me, but other varieties do well too (cherry, beefsteak, etc). Radishes are VERY easy to grow and have a quick germination time (keep them watered...they get bitter in droughts).
Also...and this could be complete folklore...my dad always told me to plant zucchini, marigolds, and chive on the perimeter of the garden to keep animals away. The theory was that the "prickly" zucchini stems, and the odor of the chives/marigolds would deter wascally wabbits.
Have fun!
My response is specific to growing vegetables. If you're planning to grow mostly flowers or other types of ornamental foliage, this probably won't apply.
Others have mentioned good sources for growing in RI (I live in MA, where the climate is pretty much the same) so I won't comment on that. But my #1 piece of advice to ANYONE starting a garden is to wait a year before building a permanent garden plot. Until then, grow in containers during your first year (or skip it altogether until year #2.)
Because unless you're in an area where there aren't many trees, you won't know where the sunniest part of your yard is until you've had the chance to observe the sun's path for a whole growing season.
For this reason, I recommend that a first year garden be done in planters or small pots - nothing too ambitious. All the while, take note of what part of your yard gets the most sunlight - you want to have a garden plot that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun, and preferably 8 hours or more, during peak growing season (late June through early September.) In urban and suburban communities that can be difficult, as your neighbors' houses, trees, fences, etc. can all create shade where you don't want it. It could be that the spot you think would be best for your garden isn't as ideal as you think.
If you don't get as much direct sun as you'd like, that tells you what kind of garden to make: perhaps you'll end up growing shade-tolerant veggies only, like spinach, kale, lettuce, certain root veggies, etc.
Then in Year 2, you actually commit to the garden and till the soil, build raised beds, etc. and have at it.
I also recommend that you start vegetables from seed as much as possible. Direct sowing (putting seeds right into your garden) is much easier and less energy consuming than starting indoors with heat mats and grow lights. Certain veggies, like eggplant, cucumbers, and tomatoes, need to be started indoors if you're growing in New England, but most other veggies and herbs can be planted right in the ground. For this reason most home gardeners buy seedlings of hot-weather vegetables from their local garden center.
(and if you do buy seedlings from a garden center, go with a local business as opposed to a national chain. It supports your local economy and you're less likely to get diseased plants that traveled hundreds -- or thousands -- of miles from potentially blight or disease-infected greenhouses.)

Discussion Forum
The Audel's "Carpenters and Builders Guide #1″, published in 1923, is a stern and didactic trade manual, and sometimes sounds a bit archaic. The subjunctive appears many times: "In case the item be not found…" and near poetry crops up: "With careful use a good take-down square should not get out of truth."Â
But one usage in particular seems wrong and yet sounds right. It happens too many times to be a typo, plus the whole tone of the writing is too proper and forthright to admit any casual language. Here are some examples:
"If the saw tend to run off the line…slightly twist the blade…"Â
"A good cleaning… will usually restore its cutting properties, but if it do not then scour the stone…"Â
"If the saw have an even tension, put it on the mandrel and run it up to speed. If it run steady and true, it is ready for fitting." (my italics)
The subject and verb are out of agreement, plain enough. But there's something about it that seems right, something I've read before, and I don't know what it is. Inserting the word should before the verbs ("If the saw should tend") saitisfies in three of the cases above- I wonder is this some kind of subjunctive?
Seeing something like that today, I would wonder too.  (And if  part of the 'free style' English on the Chinese product packagings, it's almost certainly an error.  Or else,  accidental subjunctive ?)
But given the date and how they sound, there should be no doubt that the stuffs you are describing were keen demonstrations of the subjunctive. Â For their rarity, they are worth framing for posterity.
To be sure, the English subjunctive in general is not disappearing or rare, despite the many claims to the contrary. Â Instances with the infinitive 'be,' Â the 'were' form, and the 'should' form as you have noted, Â are all abundantly used in our daily speeches and writings. Â Only the 'naked' infinitives (like in your documents) have become nearly nonexistent, Â or rather, all superseded by the conjugated forms.
Those subjunctives are somewhat overdone and hypercorrected, even by 1920's standards.Â
The subjunctive has always been appropriate in situations where the condition is counterfactual or extremely unlikely. In each of these sentences the condition is fairly likely.  A saw needs sharpening most of the time, maybe always if you want to be superfussy. A drill can get out of true several times a day.Â
Putting it another way, those IFS could be switched to WHENS without destroying the meaning. That's a good sign that you don't need the subjunctive.
When the saw tends to run off the line…slightly twist the blade.

UK start-up tackles PIN fraud with patterns
We all know that the weakest link in almost any security system is the user. We puny humans are prone to errors, and so we tend to write down complicated passwords, or choose ones which are stupidly easy to guess. Same with PINs. How many of you (be honest now) use your birth year? A PIN also stays the same all the time. But no …
Better than PIN but...
Ummm, surely their maths are out? If they have a 5x5 grid but only populate it with 10 digits (0-9) then there must be duplication digits, meaning that you could make a mistake in guessing the pattern and still get the right password. That reduces the strength of the protection.
To avoid collisions you'd need to work in base 25. Certainly possible, but you'd need a lot more keys on your keypad.
I like the idea but it'll not replace chip+PIN for one reason. Cost. Chip+PIN has already reduced card issuers losses where it has been deployed (at great cost) so why would they bother spending even more money when they can just say "sorry, you were lazy about securing your PIN, so the fraud was your fault - no refund" ?
"Each time you see the grid, the numbers are different, so even if you are shoulder surfed, it doesn't matter."
But the pattern is always the same, so it's just as vunerable to shoulder surfing.
Did you just repost their press release without thinking ?
I do hope they aren't holding out for a patent...
...at least 10 years ago "Tomorrows World" showed an idea for replacing PIN numbers where you used photographs. Only the real card holder would know that their code was Aunt Mabel, their dog and their son aged 8 out of a selection of 10 offered pics.
so it's not a new idea.
Anyway, it's all immaterial, as the banks won't care - it's not as if fraud costs them anything anyway.
Good idea
I don't actually know all of my PINs, I just remember the pattern on the keyboard!
Not suitable for everyone
Great. Another technology which will actually restrict what I can do.
I'm registered partially sighted, and find it hard enough to use cash machines at the moment (I have to get to within about 8 to 10 inches of the screen). If this is rolled out, I sure hope the banks have the intelligence to provide alternatives for folks with poor vision - like allowing us to keep using PINs.
The Change
I suspect this will change "shoulder surfers" into "head punchers", as they change from acquiring the PIN to simply grabbing the freshly withdrawn cash.
Frankly the real solution is to ditch cash points altogether and move to a cashless society with physical token and biometric two-factor authentication.
PINs don't necessarily stay the same, you can change them, maybe banks should force changes on users sometimes. Maybe banks shouldn't allow users to chose their PIN at all.
I already do this
I'm crap at remembering numbers but never have a problem remembering the pattern on the keypad. A couple of times I've had to change the PIN because the pattern didn't 'work' but normally it's fine.
So what's new?
Here's a post from a message board back in 2005:
* * * * *
I've just had a new cash card issued for my Danish account. They also sent me a PIN, and with it a mnemonic device that seems very clever to me.
It's a slip of paper with 40 randomly coloured squares. It arrives blank; you choose a pattern of colours or a shape that you can remember and write your PIN there. You then fill in the rest of the squares so that the numbers from 0-9 occur 4 times each, in a random pattern. You write on top which card the paper belongs to, and they actually recommend that you carry it around with your card so you can tell your PIN at a glance.
* * * * *
I wonder if anyone's patented this...?!
@Tom Chiverton
That was my first thought - someone looking over your shoulder will look at the numbers then match them to the pattern...
However, then it ocurred to me that the idea is not so daft after all - it will take a lot of time for anyone to match the 4 numbers to the pattern on the screen because there will be a lot of numbers scattered around. And the shoulder surfers don't have that kind of time.
To Tom Chiverton
I suspect you have misunderstood the article. The system displays a grid with a (presumably random) digit in each square. The user looks at the grid and reads the digits which appear in the pattern that they have memorised - this generates a 'one use' pin which is then entered using a keyboard.
A shoulder surfer can see the numbers being punched in but that does not help him - since each digit appears more than once on the grid, it is not possible to deduce the pattern from the sequence of numbers.
Obviously, if the user was required to key their pattern on the grid the system would not offer enhanced security.
Duplication of digits & the partially sighted
the reason for multiple repititions of the digits is to stop a shoulder surfer being able to get the pattern. If a 4 digit PIP is still used, then there would still be a 1 in 10,000 chance of guessing the PIN, but not the PIP.
Anonymous Vulture,
The conversations have been had with the RNIB to get GrIDsure into formats capable for the partially sighted. Bloor have put out an article on just this subject.
The card is a way of remembering your PIN, GrIDsure is a means of creating a new PIN each time, just like using a token, but no additional hardware. You don't have a PIN anymore, just a shape to remember.
The meaning of PIN
PINs are probably as far down the "secret code" route that card issues will ever want to go, as customers have been trained for decades to remember 4 digits. Numerous studies have shown conclusively that the longer the code, or the more abstract the coding system (e.g. choosing "patterns" rather than actual numbers) the more people have trouble remembering them. The claim of "over 90%" in the story sounds convincing until you remember that any system that falls short of 99.9% is likely to be unworkable on a large scale. One of the problems that pundits - particularly clever ones who read The Reg ;-) - have in understanding this is that they tend to see things from their point of view, e.g. "I understand this so it must be easy for everyone" - but when a system is scaled up to encompass tens of millions of people, many of whom could be charitably compared to Cletus the slack-jawed yokel of Simpsons fame, then that argument simply falls over. Any bank contemplating this system had better think about hiring several hundred more call centre staff to handle the forgotten passcode requests.
The number of permutations in a system, whether it be 10k or 100k, is also something of a red herring. In a 4-digit PIN system, guessing the PIN is made difficult as 3 consecutive failures results in the card being disabled. That mitigates the guessing risk. As for shoulder surfing, there is no difference between using PINs or patterns, as both reveal the same visual information to an attacker.
The fact that many people write down PINs is also interesting. Personally I doubt if many attacks are perpetrated in this way, and on balance it may even be preferable to write down your PIN as at least that way you don't forget it and your bank is probably secretly happy because they don't have to handle your calls to the helpdesk to get a new one when you do. But it does raise an interesting question as to how a customer would write down a gridsure pattern. I can't think of one - can anyone else?
The real evolution away from PIN will probably be a biometric. The technology is nowhere near robust enough for banks yet, but it does have many potential benefits, not the least of which is that you may never have to remember a PIN or pattern or whatever again.
Re: earlier comments
"But the pattern is always the same, so it's just as vulnerable to shoulder surfing."
You don't move anything but your eyes over the pattern! You read the numbers from the correct points on the pattern, then type them on a standard numeric keypad below.
"To avoid collisions you'd need to work in base 25. Certainly possible, but you'd need a lot more keys on your keypad."
Or...you could just get the user to type two digits for each location? In a similar fashion, it's possible to write numbers larger than 9 using something called the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. (Hint: you did so in your post.)
Better use letters
While many people have trouble remembering four-digit pins, most can remember a much longer sequence of letters -- if the sequence can be pronounced. So, replace number pads with keyboards and allow people to type in their POWs (Personal Identification Words).
When banks issue POWs, they should be sure that the sequence can be pronounced, so it is easy to remember. Though this will decrease the number of possible sequences, the number of pronounceable five-letter sequences is still much higher than the number of distinct four-digit PINs.
This doesn't solve the shoulder-surfing problem, though. That could, however, be solved by using a keyboard where each key shows three letters, but where the assignment changes with every use. This way, you need only 9 keys (less than a normal numeric keypad), and there are 3^5 = 243 words that fit any 5-key sequence. Granted, many of those won't be pronounceable, so a shoulder-surfer can eliminate a lot of them, but my guess is that there would still be enough viable words left that the three failed tries before the card is locked will be too few to get a good chance of guessing.
Example: My POW is "krolf". The keys show
Note that to make all keys have three letters, E is repeated.
So I type 95335. This could also have been "eslos", "efoof", "kroos", "erxor" and many other.
The key assignment should spread vowels as much as possible, so most keys have one. With only AEIOUY (and E repeated), two keys will be without vowels. If we omit Q and X and repeat two other vowels (e.g., A and O), all keys will have vowels and we get rid of some troublesome letters. Note that repetitions will give several valid key sequences for some WOSs, but that shoud not be a major problem.
Its easy to understand.
What is it with some people. Whycant you actually read whats written.
Example :
Pattern: (yes the "X")
So the temp pin = 3594
However there are
3 x 3's
4 x 5's
3 x 9's
5 x 4's
Making it very difficult to recognise a pattern.
The maths
The maths of it does seem completely wrong.
I can't find any information on what actually sits in the squares (single or double digits), but for single digits the results will always be 10^x where x is the number of digits in the sequence.
To get 25^4, they need double digits and may as well just go for a 10x10 square, giving them 100,000,000 possibilities. If it's a matter of ease of use (maybe people can't remember a 4 step pattern in a 10x10 block), even a 3x4 block offers double the security of 10^4. There is no reasoning given on their site for why it would be a 5x5 block.
I'd go with it all just being wonky maths though. Here's from their site:
"However add into the 'mix' the fact that up to a third of users write down and carry their PINs with them, and that many more use easy-to-remember numbers like their spouse's birthday, overall security is reduced to say 5000:1 or even 2000:1."
2000 possibilities for a spouses birthday?
If day and month are both single digits (3rd april say) we can have d/m/yy, 0d/0m, 0m/yy as easily memorable dates (and lets face it, someone using a spouses b/day is not going for hard to remember). This is 1/3, nowhere near the 1/2000 or 1/5000.
Even changing the zeroes to any other number, with those 3 date combinations there are 111 possibilites.
Using a spouses birthday only becomes a liability when someone knows that date, for someone who doesn't know your spouses birthday they are right back at 1/10,000.
If the pin is written down and you're assuming the thief has it, it's a 100% probability that they have your PIN. If you assume they don't have the PIN, then again it's back at 10,000 possibilities.
Besides, a pattern can also be put down on paper and is harder to disguise as something innocent like a phone number.
And Jonathan Craymer likes to call it "chip and spin" :-P
RE: Its easy to understand.
The example you have given still uses single digit numbers.
The fact is, using only 0-9 4 times, you cannot exceed 1/10,000 probability or 10^4.
In fact, as your example neglects the use of 0 and 1, it has an 8^4 probability, or one in 4096, half the effectiveness of a regular PIN.
Not such a bad idea
I like it! But the banks won't because it'll cost them.
Personally, I'm pretty good at remembering major PINs, but for a credit card I very rarely use, I have a business card with three phone numbers on the back - all made up ones - so it looks pretty innocuous. I know which one is a PIN! (It's the last four digits of the middle phone number... ;) Use London phone numbers for lots of 4-digit groups!)
Keyboard pattern
"I don't actually know all of my PINs, I just remember the pattern on the keyboard!"
Be careful when you're abroad. Egyption cashpoints (and probably others) have the 789 row at the top, whereas we have 123 at the top.
The Maths
Gentlemen, the mathamatical study was carried out by Prof. Richard Weber, the Director of Cambridge Universities Statistics Laboratory. The maths is sound.
The numerics 0-9 are placed into a 5x5 grid, therefore 25 cells, 2.5 repititions of each digit. The PIP is selected by choosing 4+ cells, OR the same cell 4 times if you wanted.
Each time a challenge grid is shown to the user, he has a new sequence of numbers, which corespond to his PIP, the constant pattern.
There is always a chance of guessing the PIN of 1 in 10,000, if 4 digits are used. But it will be useless next time.
I maybe wrong but...
It looks to me that the number of digits in a cell is irrelevant. All that matters is the number of pattern combinations.
So for the example cited
"For a five by five grid, and a four cell pattern, you have 254 possible patterns. That's 390,625 possible arrangements, compared to the 10,000 possible combinations of four digits in a traditional PIN,"
You actually have 25x24x23x22= 303600 possible patterns.
Billy Idiot finger print?
Am I being stupid, but getting a really basic fingerprint reader that picks up on a slight pattern in a finger and gererates a 4 digit "pin" from that (the relative postion of two swirls from a third?) is that really that difficult and still beyond our grasp?
Just to complete the conversations!
Thought I would just add the following. . .
1. When challenged with the authentication you enter the numbers on the grid which correspond to your pattern (you don't actually enter the pattern itself) and because the digits are repeated on the grid anyone 'shouldersurfing' you would find it extremely difficult to identify your pattern from the numbers you enter. Compare this to someone shouldersurfing a standard PIN, once it is observed once, the PIN is compromised. With GrIDsure this is not the case as the PIN is one-time.
2. As for people choosing common patterns, our trials have shown that there is a wide diversity of patterns that people choose. Indeed the view of a Cambridge mathematics professor who we have been working with is that the number of 'common' patterns runs into the tens of thousands (the total number of possible patterns is over 390,000 patterns)
Compare that to a standard PIN where a random guess at a PIN gives only a 10,000:1 chance and as you rightly say people do not randomly choose a PIN.
To further allay your concerns, we have serious ongoing discussions with a number of banks, card issuers, card schemes and large software companies around the world who have all considered these same questions and we hope to be making further significant announcements very shortly.
Pin Pals
Having just discovered the finite number of possible four digit pin codes, I think it would be rather cool if I met my pin pal, and we exchanged details.. or rather I just get his details.
So, please post your pin number here, and I will contact you if we're pin pals :-)
I came up with this in 1988.
See you in court.
Just noticed that you can use the same cell twice.
Which is where you get 25^4.
needs to appear more complicated than it actually is
you need to apply a bit of thougt to it, make pins longer but give people a means of remembering them/writing them down cryptically
ie, shamelessly pinched from an episode of jonathan creek, if you dont read it aloud, it could be anything
Oh when I know to free hate, to sever no one
an alternative, which i actually thought was good, call me a faschist, is a demolition man style chip implanted into the hand. if you have a completely shielded box that you have to insert your hand into to buy something, then not only would someone have to read and decrypt your id, but implant it into their own hand to use it. Or cut off your hand, but i'm assuming most shops would notice a person carrying a severed hand around.
Remembering patterns
When I recently asked for an *additional* bank card, my bank *replaced* my current card without warning. Anyway I got burdened with a new PIN. Using my computer numeric keypad I figured out its corresponding "shape", and memorised it. Three days later when I went to use the card I was about to enter the PIN when I realised than cash-machine numeric keyboards are like phone keyboards - starting 1-2-3 at the *top*. So I have to mentally invert the shape before entering. Grrrrrr.....
personally i prefer the "pick a 4 letter word and use a mobile phone keypad to convert it to numbers" approach... e.g. bank = 2265 so no need to write anything down or remember fancy patterns... this is helped even more as a growing number of cash points have the letters on the keypad already
now all we need to the banks to get their act together and let us have different pins for the atm and chip and pin...
Some have missed it:
There is very little penalty in having a "pattern" of pressing the same key 4 times as the repetitions in the grid will befuddle things:
It is a simple matter with a 5x5 grid (25 positions) to use all 10 digits at least twice, three times for some:
1 14562
2 40823
3 03978
4 61957
5 14729
Assume your pattern is 4x the D1 key - on this iteration of the grid: "6"
You hit 6 4 times. How is the shoulder surfer to know if your 4 6's correspond to D1 or A4 (the other "6" in the grid)?
If you are seen to hit "2" 4 times, this could mean E1, D2 or D5 - assuming the shoulder surfer has memorised all instances of "2" on the grid during the short time it is displayed.
Implanted chips were causing cancer
.. last I heard, any further news on that?
I dont want to join the "phone towers radiate death rays" loonies, but there is still scope for further research on the implanted IDs.
the problem with this grid->number->keyboard system that I can see, is that it will slow down transactions. Users will have to look at the grid, work out the numbers which make up their pattern, then key those numbers in. Instead of ..keying their number in.. Sure it will be more secure, but how much more time will be consumed waiting in ATM queus behind geriatrics and slow readers?
Shoulder surfing + mobile phone...
So all that will happen is that the shoulder surfers will pretend to be on their phones and in fact be recording what you enter and the image of the grid. They can then analyse the footage later and work out the possibilities of the patterns, and narrow it down to likely patterns (ie adjacent boxes)... It may not be 100% but I can't see that it's any worse than trying to remember a 4 digit code that they've only seen once.
It will not fix the problem, it'll just mean that the crooks have to come up with another method to find out our secrets.
Oh yeah, the other thing they do is to put false fronts on cash points - which currently have a camera in to record the pin as it's entered... all they need to do is adjust it to see the grid as well. With a fixed position camera, it would be trivial to run the video through a computer program to identify the possible patterns.
Sometimes I worry that my mind works in this way, but I'm sure that mine isn't the only one that does... Better to know the risks than be ignorant.
Shoulder surfing & mobile phones
There would not be a problem using GrIDsure running on a time sync alogrithm as a super token on a mobile phone, for example. That would stop the false front problem. It would also mean that the phone itself being stolen would not give away the PIP, as it would not be stored there - only in the head of the user.
Of course the Banks & public would not switch over to such a system, even if it does offer increased security because it seem like too much work. Therefore GrIDsure simply raises the bar for criminals to carry out fraud. It's not a silver bullet, but a step in the right direction and should be hailed as a way of getting the initiaive back.
Mobile phone + Text message
Like some payment systems in Europe you simply send a text message to your payment provider with the shop's unique id code and the amount to pay them.
Everyone has a mobile these days, they could use some system like above to authorise the cash machine withdrawals.
E.g. You put your card in the machine, your bank sees this and sends a text to your mobile with a unique pin code in it (and maybe the cash machine's location), you enter this code and your normal pin code to continue.
Although, I suppose the theif could watch you enter you PIN, steel your bank card and also your phone. But there's gonna be a problem with any system and this one above sounds good to me - and not too expensive to employ because it doesn't require buying new cash machines, just linking into the mobile network.
Mobile Phone & Text Message
There are two ways that GrIDsure could be used for these auth's, including a mobile device. The first would be simply a time-sync with host and an applet on the mobile, so you open the app & a grid is on the mobile screen, then key in the digits into the ATM or PoS device. That would be like using a secure OTP Token, but even better, as even if the phone is stolen, the grid shown gives nothing to the thief.
The second would be to use transaction details sent to the mobile, which would wake the app, then be asked if the transaction is one you would like to carry out - are you really trying to buy this item from this vendor for this much? - If you say Yes, the transaction details can be used to seed the algorithm to generate the grid numbers. Then you take the numbers and key them into the browser.
That creates a reactive, transaction specific, out-of-band authentication. It also means that both the phone and the PC can have spyware and the system still has an amount of security.
What do you think?
simple solution
I find that typing my PIN with one finger, and covering the keypad with both hands and position of my body works a treat. And it's much simpler.

Ti and Tiny "Got Your Back"
by Delyte
posted Sep 8 2010 7:03AM
Recently released from a year and a day's incarceration, Tip Harris and wife Tiny "vacationed" in the down town Los Angeles police station flaunting matching handcuffs . Cruising around the LA streets in a Maybach supposably sippin' on sizzurp, Ti and Tiny were pulled over by Ti's best friends, the LA Sheriffs Department!!!!
Styrofoam cups, sizzurp, and probation equals not a good look... But hey Tiny says she's got her mans back. With matching handcuffs she got way more love for him than any women I know. . . Ladies and Gent's let me know how you feel about this one!!!

text: I was planning to tell everyone at the bardic what the next theme was going to be. It is a 2 part theme. 1) Make me laugh (don't take that literally, just be humorous). 2) Keep a drink handy, because you must do an entertaining toast. Terrence Julie Self <julie_self at hotmail.com> wrote: Greetings and Salutations Goode Gentles, It is with heavy heart that I must cancel bardic this month. Tarkus' mother broke her leg some time ago and needs some help this weekend. Take care and I hope to see you all at Lughnasadh.
