The opening of Crust in Sydney International Airport marks its third "slicery" concept store, and the start of an aggressive expansion focussing on other airport locations and shopping centres nationally.
The Sydney International Airport store features a variety of Crust's gourmet pizzas sold by the 9x5 inch square slice, made to order on a par-baked base which allows quicker service while maintaining the fresh, high quality ingredients Crust is known for. The slices are prepared and cooked in front of the customer, and served with an optional side salad. Delicious breakfast items, including breakfast omelettes & wraps, as well as starters, desserts, espresso coffee and alcoholic beverages also feature on the next generation menu.
The slicery concept represents a new direction for Crust, and the quick, single serve breakfast and lunchtime trade will build on the franchise's strengths in dinner-time takeaway trade, allowing Crust to serve customers from morning to evening.
Because life should be delicious.
Please note that the Sydney International Airport store does not offer delivery or whole pizzas.

rastos1 sends in a report about a significant bug fix for the Linux kernel (CVE-2014-0196). "'The memory-corruption vulnerability, which was introduced in version 2.6.31-rc3, released no later than 2009, allows unprivileged users to crash or execute malicious code on vulnerable systems, according to the notes accompanying proof-of-concept code available here. The flaw resides in the n_tty_write function controlling the Linux pseudo tty device. 'This is the first serious privilege escalation vulnerability since the perf_events issue (CVE-2013-2049) in April 2013 that is potentially reliably exploitable, is not architecture or configuration dependent, and affects a wide range of Linux kernels (since 2.6.31),' Dan Rosenberg, a senior security researcher at Azimuth Security, told Ars in an e-mail. 'A bug this serious only comes out once every couple years.' ... While the vulnerability can be exploited only by someone with an existing account, the requirement may not be hard to satisfy in hosting facilities that provide shared servers, Rosenberg said."
An anonymous reader writes "It's one of the biggest migrations in the history of Linux, and it made Steve Ballmer very angry: Munich, in southwest Germany, has completed its transition of 15,000 PCs from Windows to Linux. It has saved money, fueled the local economy, and improved security. Linux Voice talked to the man behind the migration: 'One of the biggest aims of LiMux was to make the city more independent. Germany's major center-left political party is the SPD, and its local Munich politicians backed the idea of the city council switching to Linux. They wanted to promote small and medium-sized companies in the area, giving them funding to improve the city's IT infrastructure, instead of sending the money overseas to a large American corporation. The SPD argued that moving to Linux would foster the local IT market, as the city would pay localcompanies to do the work.' (Linux Voice is making the PDF article free [CC-BY-SA] so that everyone can send it to their local councilors and encourage them to investigate Linux)."
First time accepted submitter systemDead (3645325) writes "I looked mostly with disinterest at Debian's decision last February to switch to
systemd as the default init system for their future operating system releases. The Debian GNU/Linux distribution is, after all, famous for allowing users greater freedom to choose what system components they want to install. This appeared to be the case with the init system, given the presence of packages such as sysvinit-core, upstart, and even openrc as alternatives to systemd.
Unfortunately, while still theoretically possible, installing an alternative init system means doing without a number of useful, even essential system programs. By design, systemd appears to be a full-blown everything-including-the-kitchen-sink solution to the relatively simple problem of starting up a Unix-like system. Systemd, for example, is a hard-coded dependency for installing Network Manager, probably the most user-friendly way for a desktop Linux system to connect to a wireless or wired network. Just this week, I woke up to find out that systemd had become a dependency for running PolicyKit, the suite of programs responsible for user privileges and permissions in a typical Linux desktop.
I was able to replace Network Manager with connman, a lightweight program originally developed for mobile devices. But with systemd infecting even the PolicyKit framework, I find myself faced with a dilemma. Should I just let systemd take over my entire system, or should I retreat to my old terminal-based computing in the hope that the horde of the systemDead don't take over the Linux kernel itself?
What are your plans for working with or working around systemd? Are there any mainstream GNU/Linux distros that haven't adopted and have no plans of migrating to systemd? Or is migrating to one of the bigger BSD systems the better and more future-proof solution?"
You know who maddog is, right? He's one of our favorite speakers on what we might call the Linux/FOSS circuit. So you know, despite the Noel Coward song that says, "Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun," Jon prefers shade much of the time when he's in a tropical climate, based on personal observations at Linux conferences in Florida and Hawaii. But sun or shade, maddog is an eloquent and interesting speaker. We'd like to take you all to hear him in person, but we can't, so this video is the next best thing. (Alternate Video Link)
DeviceGuru (1136715) writes "Raytheon is switching its UAV control system from Solaris to Linux for U.S. military drones, starting with a Northrop Grumman MQ-8C Fire Scout helicopter. Earlier this month Raytheon entered into a $15.8 million contract with the U.S. Navy to upgrade Raytheon's control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to a recent Avionics Intelligence report. The overhaul is designed to implement more modern controls to help ground-based personnel control UAVs. Raytheon's tuxified version of its Vertical Takeoff and Landing Unmanned Air Vehicle Tactical Control System (TCS) will also implement universal UAV control qualities. As a result the TCS can be used in in all U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps UAVs that weigh at least 20 pounds. By providing an open standard, the common Linux-based platform is expected to reduce costs by limiting the types of UAV control systems that need to be built and maintained for each craft."
We last interviewed LinuxFest volunteer Jakob Perry in January, 2013, when he and the rest of the crew that makes this event happen were gearing up for their 14th version of this outstanding regional Linux/FOSS conference. Now they've gotten through LinuxFest 15, which makes this one of the longest-lasting Linux shows around. And Jakob is still helping to put it together, as he has since he was a teenager. Since he's been with LinuxFest Northwest since the beginning, this gives him some serious longevity cred, especially when you realize that he has been volunteering with LFNW since he was 15 years old -- and hasn't seemed to lose a bit of his enthusiasm in all that time.

An anonymous reader writes "Valve Software has sponsored some interesting improvements developed by LunarG for the Mesa OpenGL library on Linux for deferred and threaded GLSL shader compilation. What these changes mean for users of the open-source Linux graphics drivers when running their favorite games is that OpenGL games now load a lot faster. As an example, the time from starting Dota 2 until the time actually being within the game is reduced by about 20 seconds on an Intel system. While Direct3D has offered similar functionality for a while, OpenGL has not, which has given it a bad reputation with regard to game load times until all shaders are compiled and cached — fortunately it's now addressed for OpenGL if using the Mesa Linux graphics drivers on a supported game."
mikejuk (1801200) writes "Linus Torvalds, the 'man who invented Linux' is the 2014 recipient of the IEEE Computer Society's Computer Pioneer Award, '[f]or pioneering development of the Linux kernel using the open-source approach.' According to Wikipedia, Torvalds had wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of 'free,' 'freak,' and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server it was first hosted for download, named Torvalds' directory linux. In some ways Git can be seen as his more important contribution — but as it dates from 2005 it is outside the remit of the IEEE Computer Pioneer award."
rjmarvin (3001897) writes "In a since-removed bug report on Launchpad, Ubuntu's issue tracker, Canonical's Matthew Paul Thomas stated that Ubuntu for Android is no longer in active development. In a statement, Canonical stated that while the project is not completely dead, Canonical is currently focusing on pushing Ubuntu for Phones. The company is open to working with partners on Ubuntu for Android, but will not proceed with further U4A development unless they can form a partnership with an OEM partner to launch it. The Ubuntu for Android project was first announced in early 2012."
An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat announced their pending acquisition of Inktank this morning. Sage Weil and a team of researchers at University of California Santa Cruz first published the architecture in 2007. Sage joined DreamHost after college and continued development on Ceph until DreamHost spun off a Inktank, a company focused solely on Ceph. In Sage's blog post on the acquisition, he says 'In particular, joining forces with the Red Hat team will improve our ability to address problems at all layers of the storage stack, including in the kernel.' Sage goes on to announce that Inktank's proprietary management tools for Ceph will now be open sourced, citing Red Hat's pure open source development and business models.
Ceph has seen wide adoption in OpenStack customer deployments, alongside Red Hat's existing Gluster system."
Ceph looks pretty cool if you're doing serious storage: CERN has a 3 Petabyte "prototype" cluster in use now (Only tangentially related, but still interesting, is how CERN does storage in general).
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at the Kaspersky Lab have uncovered a zero-day Adobe Flash vulnerability that affects Windows, OS X, and Linux. 'While the exploit Kaspersky observed attacked only computers running Microsoft Windows, the underlying flaw, which is formally categorized as CVE-2014-1776 and resides in a Flash component known as the Pixel Bender, is present in the Adobe application built for OS X and Linux machines as well.' Adobe has reportedly patched the bug for all platforms. Researchers first detected the bug from attacks performed on seven Syrian computers. The attacks seem to have been hosted on the Syrian Ministry of Justice website, which has led to speculation that these are state-sponsored vulnerability exploits. This speculation is further supported by evidence that one of the exploits was 'designed to target computers that have the Cisco Systems MeetingPlace Express Add-In version 5x0 installed. The app is used to view documents and images during Web conferences.'"
netbuzz (955038) writes "A band called netcat is generating buzz in software circles by releasing its debut album as a Linux kernel module (among other more typical formats.) 'Are you ever listening to an album, and thinking "man, this sounds good, but I wish it crossed from user-space to kernel-space more often!" We got you covered,' the band says on its Facebook page. 'Our album is now fully playable as a loadable Linux kernel module.'"
CowboyRobot sends in an article about how Samsung's constantly shifting plans for its smartwatches are making it hard for developers to commit to building apps. Quoting: "Samsung's first smartwatch, released in October last year, ran a modified version of Google's Android platform. The device had access to about 80 apps at launch, all of which were managed by a central smartphone app. Samsung offered developers an SDK for the Galaxy Gear so they could create more apps. Developers obliged. Then Samsung changed direction. Samsung announced a new series of smartwatches in February: the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and Gear Fit. Unlike the first device, these three run Samsung's Tizen platform. ... This week, Samsung made things even more interesting. Speaking to Reuters, Yoon Han-kil, senior vice president of Samsung's product strategy team, said the company is working on a watch that will use Google's Android Wear platform. In other words, Samsung will bring three different watches to market with three different operating systems in under a year."
This is an interview with Graham Morrison, who is one of four people behind the shiny-new Linux Voice magazine, which is printed on (gasp) paper. Yes, paper, even though it's 2014 and a lot of people believe the idea of publishing a physical newspaper or magazine is dead. But, Graham says, when you have a tight community (like Linux users and developers) you have an opportunity to make a successful magazine for that community. This is a crowdfunded venture, through Indiegogo, where they hoped to raise £90,000 -- but ended up with £127,603, which is approximately $214,288 as of this video's publishing date. So they have a little capital to work with. Also note: these are not publishing neophytes. All four of the main people behind Linux Voice used to work on the well-regarded Linux Format magazine. Graham says they're getting subscribers and newsstand sales at a healthy rate, so they're happily optimistic about their magazine's future. (Here's an alternate video link)
An anonymous reader writes with this announcement: "Ubuntu Linux version 14.04 LTS (code named "Trusty Tahr") has been released and available for download. This updated version includes the Linux kernel v3.13.0-24.46, Python 3.4, Xen 4.4, Libreoffice 4.2.3, MySQL 5.6/MariaDB 5.5, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.5, improvements to AppArmor allow more fine-grained control over application, and more. The latest release of Ubuntu Server is heavily focused on supporting cloud and scale-out computing platforms such as OpenStack, Docker, and more. As part of the wider Ubuntu 14.04 release efforts the Ubuntu Touch team is proud to make the latest and greatest touch experience available to our enthusiast users and developers. You can install Ubuntu on Nexus 4 Phone (mako), Nexus 7 (2013) Tablet (flo), and Nexus 10 Tablet (manta) by following these instructions. On a hardware front, ARM multiplatform support has been added, enabling you to build a single ARM kernel image that can boot across multiple hardware platforms. Additionally, the ARM64 and Power architectures are now fully supported. See detailed release notes for more information. A quick upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu is possible over the network."
Eben Moglen's FreedomBox concept (personal servers for everyone to enable private communication) is getting closer to being an easy-to-install reality: all packages needed for FreedomBox are now in Debian's unstable branch, and should be migrating to testing in a week or two. Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen: "Today, the last of the packages currently used by the project to created the system images were accepted into Debian Unstable. It was the freedombox-setup package, which is used to configure the images during build and on the first boot. Now all one need to get going is the build code from the freedom-maker git repository and packages from Debian. And once the freedombox-setup package enter testing, we can build everything directly from Debian. :) Some key packages used by Freedombox are freedombox-setup, plinth, pagekite, tor, privoxy, owncloud, and dnsmasq. There are plans to integrate more packages into the setup. User documentation is maintained on the Debian wiki." You can create your own image with only three commands, at least if you have a DreamPlug or Raspberry Pi (you could also help port it to other platforms).
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes: "When Edward Snowden first emailed Glenn Greenwald, he insisted on using email encryption software called PGP for all communications. Now Klint Finley reports that Snowden also used The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) to keep his communications out of the NSA's prying eyes. Tails is a kind of computer-in-a-box using a version of the Linux operating system optimized for anonymity that you install on a DVD or USB drive, boot your computer from and you're pretty close to anonymous on the internet. 'Snowden, Greenwald and their collaborator, documentary film maker Laura Poitras, used it because, by design, Tails doesn't store any data locally,' writes Finley. 'This makes it virtually immune to malicious software, and prevents someone from performing effective forensics on the computer after the fact. That protects both the journalists, and often more importantly, their sources.'
The developers of Tails are, appropriately, anonymous. They're protecting their identities, in part, to help protect the code from government interference. 'The NSA has been pressuring free software projects and developers in various ways,' the group says. But since we don't know who wrote Tails, how do we know it isn't some government plot designed to snare activists or criminals? A couple of ways, actually. One of the Snowden leaks show the NSA complaining about Tails in a Power Point Slide; if it's bad for the NSA, it's safe to say it's good for privacy. And all of the Tails code is open source, so it can be inspected by anyone worried about foul play. 'With Tails,' say the distro developers, 'we provide a tongue and a pen protected by state-of-the-art cryptography to guarantee basic human rights and allow journalists worldwide to work and communicate freely and without fear of reprisal.'"
An anonymous reader writes "For the last 6 weeks the Debian developers have had an election to determine the new Debian Project Leader. The election is now over and Lucas Nussbaum was re-elected. As always in Debian, the result of the voting was found using the Condorcet method."
An anonymous reader writes "The Linux 3.15 kernel now in its early life will be able to suspend and resume much faster than previous versions of the Linux kernel. A few days ago we saw ACPI and Power Management updates that enable asynchronous threads for more suspend and resume callbacks. Carrying out more async operations leads to reduced time for the system suspend and then resuming. According to one developer, it was about an 80% time savings within one of the phases. On Friday, work was merged that ensured the kernel is no longer blocked by waiting for ATA devices to resume. Multiple ATA devices can be woken up simultaneously, and any ATA commands for the device(s) will be queued until they have powered up. According to an 01.org blog post on the ATA/SCSI resume optimization patches, when tested on three Intel Linux systems the resume time was between 7x and 12x faster (not including the latest ACPI/PM S&R optimizations)."
An anonymous reader writes "Recently my boss has asked me about the advantages of Linux as a desktop operating system and if it would be a good idea to install it instead of upgrading to Windows 7 or 8. About ten boxes here are still running Windows XP and would be too old to upgrade to any newer version of Windows. He knows that i am using Linux at work on quite outdated hardware (would have gotten a new PC but never requested new hardware — Linux Mint x64 runs quite well on it) and i always managed to get my stuff done with it. I explained to him that there are no licensing issues with Linux, there is no anti-virus software to deal with and that Linux is generally a bit more efficient on old hardware than operating systems from Microsoft. The boss seems interested." But that's not quite the end; read on for this reader's question.
You've probably heard Jono Bacon speak at a Linux or Open Source conference. Or maybe you've heard one of his podcasts or read something he's written in his job as Ubuntu's community manager or even, perhaps, read The Art of Community, which is Jono's well-regarded book about building online communities. Jono also wrote and performed the heavy metal version of Richard M. Stallman's infamous composition, The Free Software Song. An excerpt from the Jono version kicks off our interview, and the complete piece (about two minutes long) closes the video. Please note that this video is a casual talk with Jono Bacon, the person, rather than a talk with the "official" Ubuntu Jono Bacon. So please, pull up a chair, lean back, and join us.

According to an article at Ars Technica, a major security bug faces Linux users, akin to the one recently found in Apple's iOS (and which Apple has since fixed). Says the article:"The bug is the result of commands in a section of the GnuTLS code that verify the authenticity of TLS certificates, which are often known simply as X509 certificates. The coding error, which may have been present in the code since 2005, causes critical verification checks to be terminated, drawing ironic parallels to the extremely critical 'goto fail' flaw that for months put users of Apple's iOS and OS X operating systems at risk of surreptitious eavesdropping attacks. Apple developers have since patched the bug." And while Apple can readily fix a bug in its own software, at least for users who keep up on patches, "Linux" refers to a broad range of systems and vendors, rather than a single company, and the affected systems include some of the biggest names in the Linux world, like Red Hat, Debian, and Ubuntu.
An anonymous reader writes "Linux kernel developers are currently evaluating the possibility of using QR codes to display kernel oops/panic messages. Right now a lot of text is dumped to the screen when a kernel oops occurs, most of which isn't easily archivable by normal Linux end-users. With QR codes as Linux oops messages, a smart-phone could capture the display and either report the error string or redirect them to an error page on Kernel.org. The idea of using QR codes within the Linux kernel is still being discussed by upstream developers."
A few months back, we posted a video interview with some of the folks behind the Linux-friendly, x86-based MinnowBoard. TechCrunch reports the release of a more powerful version of the same all-in-one computer, now with a 1.91GHz Atom E3845 processor. According to the linked article, "The board's schematics are also available for download and the Intel graphics chipset has open-source drivers so hackers can have their way with the board. While it doesn't compete directly with the Raspberry Pi – the Pi is more an educational tool and already has a robust ecosystem – it is a way for DIYers to mess around in x86 architected systems as well as save a bit of cash. The system uses break-out boards called Lures to expand functionality."
An anonymous reader writes "I am a new Linux user; I'm on 2nd day now. Currently I am trying out Ubuntu, but that could change. I am looking for a user friendly firewall that I can set up that lets me do these things:1) set up a default deny rule 2) carve out exceptions for these programs: browser, email client, chat client, yum and/or apt. 3) carve out exceptions to the exceptions in requirement 2 — i.e. I want to be able to then block off IPs and IP ranges known to be used by malware, marketers, etc., and all protocols which aren't needed for requirement 2. It also needs to have good enough documentation that a beginner like me can figure it out. Previously, I had done all of the above in AVG Firewall on Windows, and it was very easy to do. So far, I have tried these things:1) IPTABLES — it looked really easy to screw it up and then not notice that it's screwed up and/or not be able to fix it even if I did notice, so I tried other things at that point... 2) searched the internet and found various free firewalls such as Firestarter, GUFW, etc., which I weren't able to make meet my requirements. Can someone either point me to a firewall that meets my needs or else give me some hints on how to make firestarter or GUFW do what I need?"
New submitter FikseGTS (3604833) writes "A Tesla Model S owner located a 4 pin connector on the left side of the Tesla Model S dashboard that turns out to be a disguised ethernet networking port. After crafting his owns patch cable to connect with the Tesla's port, a networking connection was established between the Tesla Model S and a laptop computer. The Model S is running a 100 Mbps, full duplex ethernet network and 3 devices were found with assigned IP addresses in the 192.168.90.0 subnet. Some ports and services that were open on the devices were 22 (SSH), 23 (telnet),53 (open domain), 80 (HTTP), 111 (rpcbind), 2049 (NFS), 6000 (X11). Port 80 was serving up a web page with the image or media of the current song being played. The operating system is modified version of Ubuntu using an ext3 filesystem. Using X11 it also appears that someone was able to somewhat run Firefox on both of the Model S screens. Is a jailbroken Tesla Model S on the way?" Some more details on this front would be appreciated, for anyone who has a Tesla they'd like to explore.
alphadogg writes: "An argument between developers of some of the most basic parts of Linux turned heated this week, resulting in a prominent Red Hat employee and code contributor being banned from working on the Linux kernel. Kay Sievers, a well-known open-source software engineer, is a key developer of systemd, a system management framework for Linux-based operating systems. Systemd is currently used by several prominent Linux distributions, including two of the most prominent enterprise distros, Red Hat and SUSE. It was recently announced that Ubuntu would adopt systemd in future versions as well. Sievers was banned by kernel maintainer Linus Torvalds on Wednesday for failing to address an issue that caused systemd to interact with the Linux kernel in negative ways."

DeviceGuru (1136715) writes "Intel and CircuitCo have revealed a smaller, faster, 2nd-gen MinnowBoard open SBC based on an Atom E3800 SoC and supported by both Android 4.4 and various standard Linux OSes. The MinnowBoard Max, which will ship in Q3 starting at $99, blows past the original MinnowBoard (Slashdot video) on price, performance, and energy consumption. The 3.9 x 2.9-inch Max's $99 starting price includes a 64-bit 1.46GHz Intel Atom E3815 (Bay Trail-T) CPU, 1GB RAM and 8GB SPI flash, and coastline ports for MicroSD, Micro-HDMI, GbE, dual USB, and SATA. Unlike the original MinnowBoard, the Max provides two expansion connectors: a low-speed header, with signals similar to the Arduino's Shield connector; and a high-speed connector, which can support mSATA and mini-PCIe sockets on expansion modules, among other interfaces. Although the Max's design supports CPUs up to Intel's quad-core 1.91GHz (10W TDP) E3845, only two choices shown initially at MinnowBoard.org, with the higher-end $129 model stepping up to a 1.33GHz dual-core E3825 plus 2GB RAM.."
An anonymous reader writes "The Linux 3.14 "Shuffling Zombie Juror" kernel has been released. Significant improvements to Linux 3.14 include the mainlining of SCHED_DEADLINE, stable support for Intel Broadwell CPU graphics, Xen PVH support, stable support for ZRAM, and many other additions. There's also a tentative feature list on KernelNewbies.org."
darthcamaro (735685) writes "Red Hat's open source oVirt project hit a major milestone this week with the release of version 3.4. It's got improved storage handling so users can mix and match different resource types, though the big new feature is one that seems painfully obvious. For the first time oVirt users can have the oVirt Manager and oVirt VMs on the same physical machine. 'So, typically, customers deployed the oVirt engine on a physical machine or on a virtual machine that wasn't managed or monitored,' Scott Herold, principal product manager for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization said. 'The oVirt 3.4 release adds the ability for oVirt to self-host its engine, including monitoring and recovery of the virtual machine.'" (Wikipedia describes oVirt as "a free platform virtualization management web application community project.")
dotancohen (1015143) writes "It is commonly said that open source software is preferable because if you need something changed, you can change it yourself. Well, I am not an Xorg developer and I cannot maintain a separate Xorg fork. Xorg version 1.13.1 introduced a bug which breaks the "Sticky Keys" accessibility option. Thus, handicapped users who rely on the feature cannot use Xorg-based systems with the affected versions and are stuck on older software versions. Though all pre-bug Linux distros are soon scheduled for retirement, there seems to be no fix in sight. Should disabled users stick with outdated, vulnerable, and unsupported Linux distros or should we move to OS-X / Windows?
The prospect of changing my OS, applications, and practices due to such an ostensibly small issue is frightening. Note that we are not discussing 'I don't like change' but rather 'this unintentional change is incompatible with my physical disability.' Thus this is not a case of every change breaks someone's workflow."
An anonymous reader writes "After hiring the lead Btrfs developers and Linux kernel block maintainers last year, Facebook is beginning trial deployments of Btrfs.

sfcrazy (1542989) writes "Robert Ancell, a Canonical software engineer, wrote a blog titled 'Why the display server doesn't matter', arguing that: 'Display servers are the component in the display stack that seems to hog a lot of the limelight. I think this is a bit of a mistake, as it's actually probably the least important component, at least to a user.' KDE developers, who do have long experience with Qt (something Canonical is moving towards for its mobile ambitions), have refuted Bob's claims and said that display server does matter."
An anonymous reader writes "My eastern European tech-support job will be outsourced in 6 months to a nearby country. I do not wish to move, having relationship and roots here, and as such I stand at a crossroads. I could take my current hobby more seriously and focus on Java development. I have no degree, no professional experience in the field, and as such, I do not hold much market value for an employer. However, I find joy in the creative problem solving that programming provides. Seeing the cogs finally turn after hours invested gives me pleasures my mundane work could never do. The second option is Linux system administration with a specialization in VMware virtualisation. I have no certificates, but I have been around enterprise environments (with limited support of VMware) for 21 months now, so at the end of my contract with 27 months under my belt, I could convince a company to hire me based on willingness to learn and improve. All the literature is freely available, and I've been playing with VDIs in Debian already.
My situation is as follows: all living expenses except food, luxuries and entertainment is covered by the wage of my girlfriend. That would leave me in a situation where we would be financially alright, but not well off, if I were to earn significantly less than I do now. I am convinced that I would be able to make it in system administration, however, that is not my passion. I am at an age where children are not a concern, and risks seem to be, at first sight, easier to take. I would like to hear the opinion and experience of fellow readers who might have been in a similar situation."
An anonymous reader writes "AMD privately shared with Phoronix during GDC2014 that they're developing a new Linux driver model. While there will still be an open (Gallium3D) and closed-source (Catalyst) driver, the Catalyst driver will be much smaller. AMD developers are trying to isolate the closed-source portion of the driver to just user-space while the kernel driver that's in the mainline Linux kernel would also be used by Catalyst. It's not clear if this will ultimately work but they hope it will for reducing code duplication, eliminating fragmentation with different kernels, and allowing open and closed-source driver developers to better collaborate over the AMD Radeon Linux kernel driver."
darthcamaro (735685) writes "Docker has become one of the most hyped open-source projects in recent years, making it hard to believe the project only started one year ago. In that one year, Docker has now gained the support of Red Hat and other major Linux vendors. What does the future hold for Docker? Will it overtake other forms of virtualization or will it just be a curiosity?"
alphadogg writes "Web servers running a long-outdated version of the Linux kernel were attacked with dramatic speed over two days last week, according to Cisco Systems. All the affected servers were running the 2.6 version, first released in December 2003. 'When attackers discover a vulnerability in the system, they can exploit it at their whim without fear of it being remedied,' Cisco said. After the Web server has been compromised, the attackers slip in a line of JavaScript to other JavaScript files within the website. That code bounces the website's visitors to a second compromised host. 'The two-stage process allows attackers to serve up a variety of malicious content to the visitor,' according to Cisco."
Dega704 sends this news from ComputerWorld: "Some financial services companies are looking to migrate their ATM fleets from Windows to Linux in a bid to have better control over hardware and software upgrade cycles. Pushing them in that direction apparently is Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows XP on April 8, said David Tente, executive director, USA, of the ATM Industry Association. 'There is some heartburn in the industry' over Microsoft's end-of-support decision, Tente said. ATM operators would like to be able to synchronize their hardware and software upgrade cycles. But that's hard to do with Microsoft dictating the software upgrade timetable. As a result, 'some are looking at the possibility of using a non-Microsoft operating system to synch up their hardware and software upgrades,' Tente said."
Via Bits from Debian, comes news that the security team is considering adding a Long Term Support suite for Squeeze (Debian 6) after Jessie (Debian 8) is released sometime next year. From the mailing list post:
"At the moment it seems likely that an extended security support
timespan for squeeze is possible. The plan is to go ahead, sort out
the details as as it happens, and see how this works out and whether
it is going to be continued with wheezy.
The rough draft is that updates will be delivered via a separate
suite (e.g. squeeze-lts), where everyone in the Debian keyring can
upload in order to minimise bottlenecks and allow contributions by
all interested parties. Some packages will be exempted upfront due
to their volatile nature (e.g. some web applications) and others
might be expected to see important changes. The LTS suite will be
limited to amd64 and i386. The exact procedures will be sorted out
soon and announced in a separate mail. ... It needs to be pointed out that for this effort to be sustainable
actual contributions by interested parties are required. squeeze-lts
is not something that will magically fall from the sky. If you're
dependent/interested in extended security support you should make an
effort to contribute."
If successful, the LTS idea would possibly be carried over to Wheezy. With all of the changes coming in Jessie and its aggressive release schedule, this sysadmin really likes the idea of having a bit more breathing room for updating infrastructure between releases. The email also contains a bunch of other info on changes coming to the security process.
In related news, the Debian Installer team announced the first alpha of debian-installer for Jessie. Just the installer, not the distro as a whole (Jessie will be frozen in November). XFCE remains the default desktop, ia64 was kicked out of the archive, and a few new ARM variants are supported.
New submitter dalias (1978986) writes "The musl libc project has released version 1.0, the result of three years of development and testing. Musl is a lightweight, fast, simple, MIT-licensed, correctness-oriented alternative to the GNU C library (glibc), uClibc, or Android's Bionic. At this point musl provides all mandatory C99 and POSIX interfaces (plus a lot of widely-used extensions), and well over 5000 packages are known to build successfully against musl.
Several options are available for trying musl. Compiler toolchains are available from the musl-cross project, and several new musl-based Linux distributions are already available (Sabotage and Snowflake, among others). Some well-established distributions including OpenWRT and Gentoo are in the process of adding musl-based variants, and others (Aboriginal, Alpine, Bedrock, Dragora) are adopting musl as their default libc."
The What's New file contains release notes (you have to scroll to the bottom). There's also a handy chart comparing muscl to other libc implementations: it looks like musl is a better bet than dietlibc and uclibc for embedded use.
An anonymous reader writes "OpenSUSE has shared features coming to their 13.2 release in November. The big feature is using Btrfs by default instead of EXT4. OpenSUSE is committed to Btrfs and, surprisingly, they are the first major Linux distribution to use it by default. But then again, they were also big ReiserFS fans. Other planned OpenSUSE 13.2 features are Wayland 1.4, KDE Frameworks 5, and a new Qt5 front-end to YaST."
wiredmikey writes "Security researchers from ESET have uncovered a widespread attack campaign that has infected more than 25,000 Linux and UNIX servers around the world. The servers are being hijacked by a backdoor Trojan as part of a campaign the researchers are calling 'Operation Windigo.' Once infected, victimized systems are leveraged to steal credentials, redirected web traffic to malicious sites and send as many as 35 million spam messages a day. 'Windigo has been gathering strength, largely unnoticed by the security community, for more than two and a half years and currently has 10,000 servers under its control,' said Pierre-Marc Bureau, security intelligence program manager at ESET, in a statement.
There are many misconceptions around Linux security, and attacks are not something only Windows users need to worry about. The main threats facing Linux systems aren't zero-day vulnerabilities or malware, but things such as Trojanized applications, PHP backdoors, and malicious login attempts over SSH. ESET recommends webmasters and system administrators check their systems to see if they are compromised, and has published a detailed report presenting the findings and instructions on how to remove the malicious code if it is present."
jones_supa writes "More great news for Linux gamers: following the footsteps of Steam, GOG.com is preparing delivery of Linux games. They expect to start doing so this autumn. The officially supported distributions will be Ubuntu and Mint. Right now, they are performing testing on various configurations, training up their teams on Linux-speak, and generally preparing for the rollout of at least 100 titles — DRM-free, as usual. This will update some of the catalog's existing games with a Linux port and bring new ones to the collection. Further information on specific games is yet not known, but GOG invites fans and customers to their community wishlist for discussion."
probain was the first to submit news that Crytek has officially announced the port of their CRYENGINE game engine to Linux and will be demoing it at the Game Developers Conference next week. Quoting: "During presentations and hands-on demos at Crytek's GDC booth, attendees can see for the first time ever full native Linux support in the new CRYENGINE. The CRYENGINE all-in-one game engine is also updated with the innovative features used to recreate the stunning Roman Empire seen in Ryse – including the brand new Physically Based Shading render pipeline, which uses real-world physics simulation to create amazingly realistic lighting and materials in CRYENGINE games."
theodp writes "Android is free and open," reiterated Google Android Chief Andy Rubin in 2010 as Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7. Rubin added, 'Competition is good for the consumer and if somebody has an idea for a feature or a piece of functionality in their platform and Android doesn't do it, great. I think it's good to have the benefit of choice, but in the end I don't think the world needs another platform.' But now, CNET and Digitimes report that Google is holding up the Asus Transformer Book Duet TD300 (specs), a laptop-tablet hybrid that can instantly switch between Android and Windows 8.1. A source familiar with the Asus Duet told CNET that Google is the one that has not favored the idea, while Microsoft has not, to date, been actively opposed to the idea. 'If true,' reports Apple Insider, 'it may not be the first time Google has helped to quash such a product.' South Korean electronics giant Samsung quietly canceled plans for its hybrid Ativ Q tablet last year, and Digitimes notes that Asus may not be the only company to bow to Google's wishes."
kc123 writes "Earlier this week, The Linux Foundation announced that it would be working with edX, a non-profit online learning site governed by Harvard and MIT, to make its "Introduction to Linux" course free and open to all. The Linux Foundation has long offered a wide variety of training courses through its website, but those can generally cost upwards of $2,000. This introductory class, which usually costs $2,400, will be the first from the Linux Foundation to run as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)."
jones_supa writes "Valve has recently released Portal 2 on Steam for Linux and opened a GitHub entry to gather all the bugs from the community. When one of the Valve developers closed a bug related to Portal 2 recommending that the users disable a security feature, the Linux community reacted. A crash is caused by the game's interaction with SELinux, the Linux kernel subsystem that deals with access control security policies. Portal 2 uses the third-party Miles Sound System MP3 decoder which, in turn, uses execheap, a feature that is normally disabled by SELinux. Like its name suggests, execheap allows a program to map a part of the memory so that it is both writable and executable. This could be a problem if someone chose to use that particular memory section for buffer overflow attacks; that would eventually permit the hacker to gain access to the system by running code. In the end, Valve developer David W. took responsibility of the problem: 'I apologize for the mis-communication: Some underlying infrastructure our games rely on is incompatible with SELinux. We are hoping to correct this. Of course closing this bug isn't appropriate and I am re-opening it.' This is more of an upstream problem for Valve. It's not something that they can fix directly, and most likely they will have to talk with the Miles developers and try to repair the problem from that direction."
First time accepted submitter BlazeMiskulin writes "With XP approaching end-of-life, I find myself in a situation that I'm guessing is common: What to do with Mom's machine (or 'grandma's machine' for the younger of you). Since a change has to be made, this seems like a good time to move to a Linux distro. My mother (82) uses her computer for e-mail and web-browsing only. I know that any distro will be able to handle her needs. I've been using Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, and Redhat--usually with KDE interface) for about 10 years now, but I know that my preferences are quite different from hers.
I have my own ideas, but I'm curious what others think: What combination of distro and UI would you recommend for an old, basic-level user who is accustomed to the XP interface and adverse to change?"
My Grandmother seems happy running KDE on Debian.
An anonymous reader writes "The Fedora Project is now going to enforce a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for contributors. What the project's engineering committee is asking their members to conceal is a contributor's nationality, country of origin, or area of residence. There's growing concern about software development contributions coming from export restricted countries by the US (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) with Red Hat being based out of North Carolina, but should these governmental restrictions apply to an open-source software project?"

No partnership is impervious to these patterns, but they can corrode perfectly loving bonds over time, especially if you think your conflict is really about chores, or hygiene, or dirty socks on the bedroom floor. It's not.

I've got to agree its good to see Midnight officially supported again, although as far as I was aware its always been on Drivethru.
I'm looking forward to seeing if we now get a third edition of Midnight that moves away from the DnD 3.5 rules and onto something more along the lines of Dark Heresy or Fireborn.
Now that I think about it, come on FFG you've brought one game back from the beyond, how about Fireborn?

Happy to see this come back to the official website, we at www.againsttheshadow.org have never gave the setting up, sure the site isn't as active any more, but the love is still there.
The speculation has begun though!
Posted 30 October 2012 - 02:05 AM
I have all the products published in the Midnight line, and it was very difficult indeed to collect them all here in Europe, but I persisted because this is the fantasy world that managed to capture my imagination like no other.
I for one would prefer staying true to D&D origins of the setting - and I think it would be wise to convert it to Pathfinder, but I suspect that will not be the case. All the same, I'd love to see new Midnight products as soon as possible.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 07:57 PM
I'm really glad to see this campaign setting brought up in an official announcement.
To me, this setting is the only reason I'll play 3.5, but I'd love to see a shift away from that ruleset. Maybe not as far as the shift from WFRP 2nd to WFRP 3rd, but you get the idea.

Yes, very pleased to see signs of life for Midnight. I have all that was available in print. A big shout to against the shadow for keeping it alive though I mainly lurk over there.
Here's hoping some new stuff is forthcoming, ideally not WFRP3 style.
Posted 02 November 2012 - 05:06 AM
Well, I hope this is the premise for a Midnight relaunch. Two things I'd like to see in such a case:
- a new, devoted, rules-light system that still captures the setting's flavor;
- a ready-to-play long campaign or story arc, providing something that is "ready-to-play" for those (like me) who don't have time for prep or creating their own stories.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 06:41 AM
I so love this setting. Every time I get an inkling to play DnD or play in Middle Earth, I always wander back to this setting instead. With the Hobbit movies coming out, this is a good time to get this back on the market.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 04:20 AM
I echo the fact that I'm glad to see this back on the site. It's an outstanding setting. For me, it's also why I still play 3.5 because it is, by far, my favorite 3.5 setting made. I think what would be better than following WotC's Core rules, or even Pathfinder's rules, is if perhaps if you guys did what Pathfinder did, and overhauled the 3.5 Ruleset, but custom tailored for this setting. Pathfinder is a good ruleset for a generic high-magic world, and I think there are a lot of elements that could be ported over to Midnight, but I certainly don't feel that it's a suitable "drop in" replacement ruleset. There are many folks on the againsttheshadow.org forums that have uploaded their own house rules and creations. They might be a good place to start looking, if you guys don't already have loads of ideas already.
That said, I probably wouldn't be opposed to your own custom ruleset that doesn't even look like d20 if it were to better suit the world. Though I've never played it personally, I've heard marvelous things about the career system from the Warhammer RPG. Perhaps that could be adopted and used? (Just spit-balling ideas…)
Thanks again!

Of course, all this "speculation" above is just a group of loyal fans itching to see FFG do something with this IP. For all we know, this update to their website is just consolidating their marketing and trying to boost sales of the Midnight line without much extra effort…
However, I would certainly love to think otherwise and that it would be asinine to drop the Midnight IP with the 3.5 ruleset.
What I would pay for a re-hash of Midnight without d20, on the other hand…

But d&d 3.5 not 4? Or better an own rules set! Yes, this would suit it best!
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:17 PM
Having it use a new game system would probably do more harm than good. I think using Pathfinder rules would do wonders for Midnight.

Exactly, the pathfinder rules are OGL and would just be perfect for Midnight! Oh god I so want this!
Someone had already started a conversion here btw:
But an official support would be just perfect!

It would be nice to see Midnight reworked for Pathfinder or any other system.
Plus, FFG could add some extra value to the re-edited suplements such as more details on the Dorn houses, more rumors about the Darguul or the Elder Fey, more speculation on the gods, maps of places like Calador…
Posted 25 December 2012 - 01:24 PM
I'd love to see Midnight with a set of rules that aren't D&D or a derivative. IMO, D&D is pretty much the anti-Midnight. D&D supports tactical, almost boardgame combat, high magic and high power. Now looking at Midnight, there's magic there alright, but large parts of it aren't used by the PCs and they have to hide what they have. Combat… I've always felt that the typical Midnight combat should be over within two or three strikes or the PCs are almost certainly screwed. And as for power, running a Midnight campaign up to level 20, which D&D would fully support and shine in, is a little like having a movie about the french resistance in WW2, all cloak and dagger… and then plopping John Rambo into it, complete with minigun and stormtrooper marksmanship enemies to be mowed down by the dozens.
IMO, Midnight would definitely profit from a ruleset that supports
-deadly combat
-freeform character creation (it's not like anyone can afford to go without at least rudimentary stealth or bluffing skills)
-an expanded stealth and social system
-a lightweight magic system

The DMC-TS10 has a LUMIX DC VARIO 4x optical zoom lens with folded optics to help protect the lens unit and to give it more strength during shooting in demanding conditions. The lens and exterior of the TS10 are drop-proof from up to 5 ft, cushioned by a layer of shock-resistant material for improved reinforcement. The lens has also been equipped with a supplementary damper to help absorb shock on impact. The VARIO lens is even freeze-proof to 14 degrees F.
The TS10 has a powerful 4x optical zoom that is extended to 8.4x at resolution of 3-megapixel or less with the activation of the Extra Optical Zoom function. Combining the Extra Optical Zoom with the 4x digital zoom effectively increases zoom power to an impressive maximum of 33.8x.
With numerous elements, aspherical surfaces and aspherical lenses, the TS10 is a truly advanced unit that renders images in high resolution from corner to corner.
2.7-inch Intelligent LCD Screen with AR Coating:
The TS10 features a generous 2.7-inch screen with Intelligent LCD technology and a 230,000-dot resolution. Brightness is adjusted automatically in 11 steps according to ambient light conditions. The LCD is also enhanced by an exclusive anti-reflective coating, which minimizes glare and delivers high visibility in any situation. The TS10's LCD display provides sharp, clear image playback and its large size makes sharing photos and videos with friends and family even easier.
14.1-megapixel High Resolution CCD:
With the 14.1-megapixel CCD, images stay detailed and well-defined at any reproduction size. Photos as large as A2 are reproduced with stunning clarity and sharpness. Photos can also be cropped or trimmed for a more creative finished effect.
Sonic Speed AF:
The Sonic Speed Auto Focus has been significantly re-engineered with a number of enhancements, including a higher speed actuator, more optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. Auto focus performance is faster and more accurate, and capturing moving subjects or fast action scenes can be achieved with incredible results.
Venus Engine:
Advanced signal processing from the Venus Engine delivers beautiful results, even at high sensitivity settings. The TS10 employs multi-task signal processing for every image, enabling high speed, high performance results. The Venus Engine also improves the precision of various other camera functions such as MEGA O.I.S and Intelligent ISO Control. Along with the boost in power and image processing accuracy, the Venus Engine also supports an enhanced noise reduction system that handles luminance noise and chromatic noise separately for greater overall noise suppression all the way up to ISO 1600 sensitivity at full resolution. This allows for nighttime shots or dim indoor images to be taken that have exceptional clarity and maintain low-light ambiance.
The Venus Engine is also more energy efficient than other image processors, giving users more battery life and longer shooting time on a single battery charge.
Rugged Durability:
The DMC-TS10 was made for the outdoors. With a flat, slim profile that fits easily in a day pack or gear bag and a rugged frame that is waterproof, shockproof, dust-proof and freeze-proof, you get the freedom to go anywhere and shoot anything. Panasonic's innovative Intelligent Auto Mode and HD movie recording let you capture your wildest memories in the best possible format so that you'll never forget a moment.
The TS10 also features a unique sealed body design that keeps dust, dirt and water from entering the rubber packing around the socket or battery door, preventing serious camera malfunction. This means you can use the TS10 at the beach or on the trail without hesitation. There's also a custom silicone jacket that protects the camera body from dings and scratches.
Waterproof to a depth of 10ft in accordance with the IPX8 and IP6X standard, the TS10 is perfect for a day at the beach or pool; you can even use it underwater. If the camera gets dirty or dusty, you can simply rinse it off with water, no need to worry about damaging the device or compromising performance. For pool parties, beach vacations, snorkeling or scuba diving, sailing, surfing and more, the TS10 gives you the opportunity to take photos and videos that other cameras just can't deliver.
The TS10 is also dust-proof equivalent to the IPX8 and IP6X standard so you can bring it along on a hike, while playing sports, mountain biking, climbing and more, and you'll never have to worry about dust or dirt particles entering the camera body and ruining the device.
Playing hard can be hard on your camera, but the TS10 is drop-proof from as high as 5ft and has passed the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock test standard. Whether you're securing a line, adjusting a harness or just trying to take a unique shot with one hand, most drops won't have any effect on the TS10 so you can take daring shots with confidence.
There's no better camera than the DMC-TS10 to capture all of your favorite cold weather moments. Freeze-proof to 14 degrees F, you can bring your camera along on your next skiing, snowboarding, skating or snowmobiling trip.
Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode:
Panasonic's innovative Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode makes just about anyone an incredible photographer almost instantly. Just press the dedicated iA Mode button and your TS10 is fully automated to optimize every picture you shoot. Four different correction and detection functions are activated simultaneously, so everything from focus to exposure is taken care of no matter what the shooting conditions are like. There's no need to mess with complex settings or try to guess which controls will best serve your image. The camera does all the work for you, delivering amazing results every time.
Intelligent Scene Selector:
In iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically chooses the best scene mode from among the most popular options: Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Sunset and Macro. Every aspect of the image is analyzed, including focus distance and the brightness level of your surroundings. You won't have to manually adjust settings every time your shooting situation changes; you can take better photos while travelling or spending a long day in the great outdoors, where your environment or the lighting can change frequently. Your images will be perfectly balanced and clear, allowing you to relive those moments for years to come.
MEGA O.I.S. automatically stabilizes every image, protecting it from the blurring that can be caused by hand-shake. Every time you press the shutter button, your hand moves slightly and makes the camera vibrate; even the tiniest movement can lead to blurry images that are impossible to make out. MEGA O.I.S. samples movement at an impressive frequency of 4000 times per second so even the smallest hand motion is detected and corrected before the image is captured. MEGA O.I.S. also works on zoom and macro shots, and pictures taken in low lighting, all of which are particularly susceptible to blurring. You can capture brilliant sunsets, dim forest scenes, landscapes and action shots with confidence. Regardless of what you are doing or where you're shooting, your images will come out crisp and free from that annoying blur.
Intelligent ISO Control:
Shooting action shots can be tricky, especially when you're participating in outdoor activities. With the Intelligent ISO Control function, the TS10 enables you to capture better action shots by detecting subject movement and automatically adjusting ISO settings and shutter speed to compensate. When motion is detected, the camera instantly raises ISO levels and increases shutter speed for clear images free from motion blur. When a subject is at rest, the camera lowers ISO sensitivity and slows the shutter speed for natural looking still life images. Again, you never have to worry about manually fixing settings to get the best results; the TS10 does all the hard work for you.
Face Detection AF/AE:
Face Detection on the TS10 makes it easy to take beautiful portraits with minimum effort. Faces are automatically detected and optimized for focus and exposure to create natural, stunning results. Face Detection AF prevents the blurring that can happen when the camera focuses on an object in front of or behind your subject; Face Detection AE keeps subjects from appearing too dark when you shoot indoors or against a backlight. The TS10 can identify up to 15 faces in a single frame, even if a face is turned to the side or away from the camera, making this an ideal for large group shots, and Face Tracking stays focused on your subject until you snap the picture, even if the person moves around or changes position. There's automatic red-eye removal, too, so your portraits always look natural and attractive.
HD Video Recording:
Action photos are great, but live video is better, especially when you're hiking, climbing, skiing, sailing or biking. The TS10 records movies in full 1280 x 720 HD at 30 frames per second in Motion JPEG format, delivering dynamic and bright motion recording in any setting, from bright sunlight to evening low light.
PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0:
Get more from your photos with Panasonic's bundled PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 software. It gives you quick start up and super-fast image read in, allowing you to sort and organize not only the pictures you shoot with the DMC-TS10 but also any older photos you've got stored on your computer. The same Face Recognition feature that lets you take great portraits integrates with PHOTOfunSTUDIO so you can organize your photos based on the person or people in them, giving you quick and easy access to specific pictures. You can create customized slideshows with your favorite iTunes tracks, upload photos to Facebook and put videos on YouTube in seconds, or create impressive 360-degree panoramic shots. Experience your outdoor adventure and vacation photos and videos like never before with the DMC-TS10 and PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0.
Extended Battery Life:
With the TS10, you won't have to stop shooting or cut your day short because you've run out of camera battery charge. The energy efficient Venus Engine image processing system and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery work together to give you a much longer shooting time than other compact point-and-shoot cameras, without any extra bulk in the camera body to weigh you down. You can get up to approximately 300 shots on a single battery charge so your adventures are never interrupted.
If you love the outdoors, the Panasonic LUMIC DMC-TS10 is the compact digital camera that loves you back. Its rugged design and unique body style make it the perfect companion on your next hike, trail ride or snowboarding trip. Because it's waterproof, shockproof, freeze-proof and dust-proof, it goes where you go, whether you're spending a day out on the lake or just need a reliable camera to use at a birthday party. Behind the TS10's durable construction you get all the same advanced technology and usability features that have made the Panasonic LUMIX line so popular with everyday photographers and experienced hobbyists: the Venus Engine image processor, Intelligent Auto Mode, MEGA O.I.S., Face Detection, full HD video recording and much more. For a truly go anywhere, shoot anything compact camera, choose the LUMIX DMC-TS10.

Well, I've already posted in 3 challenges so figured I should introduce myself. I'm Teri and I have lived in beautiful northern California for the last almost 7 years. Before that I lived my whole life in WI. I'm married to the sweetest man on earth. Between us we have 6 kids and 11 grandchildren. We were both widowed and met and got married 7 years ago this coming June.
I've been scrapbooking the "old fashioned way" for about 15 years and finally got up the nerve to try digital and absolutely love it!! It's becoming a new obsession for me. My other obsession is called "reborning". If you don't know what that is - you take a vinyl doll kit (or strip down an already painted doll) and paint it, hand-root hair (or use a wig), put it on a cloth body with weighting materials in it - so when you're done it looks and feels like a real baby. I'll have do do some LO's of my reborns so you all can see what I mean.
Anyway look forward to getting to know some of you talented ladies and learning how to do lots of cool things on LO's!

The Internet is loaded with websites and articles dedicated to green living and green technology. What follows are a few of the most established sites about green electronics and gadgets, and green living.
A mild acidic solution that falls in rain or as dry particles caused when fossil fuel burning produces sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain has been linked to damaging effects on waterways and forests.
A strategy for designing high-performance, ultra-energy-efficient buildings. Active solar incorporates all the elements of a passive solar design with additional mechanical equipment, such as pumps or fans, to take advantage of the heat from the sun.
Wind, hydro (water), biomass (fuel from natural material such as crops and agricultural waste), and solar power.
Made from materials that will decay and break down into naturally occurring elements in a fairly short amount of time.
Fuel made from natural material such as crops and agricultural waste.

Carbon released when many substances — particularly fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal — are burned by vehicles and planes; by the manufacturing processes of many consumer goods; and by the heating, cooling, and electricity for your home.
The amount of land needed to support a person's consumption of goods and resources. It describes the amount of land required to farm a person's food, mine their energy sources, transport their goods and services, and hold their waste.
The state of reducing a person's carbon emissions as much as possible and balancing the remaining carbon emissions by offsetting them with processes that consume carbon.
Paying for or participating in programs that reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. Purchased shares go toward reducing the same amount of environmental costs that an activity expends. Carbon offset programs or projects often involve tree planting because trees have a huge capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Other programs involve everything from supporting solar and wind power to replacing fossil fuel–burning stoves in developing countries with more sustainable energy sources.
A cancer-causing substance.

A system in which a person pays a fee that gives them access to a vehicle (or a pool of vehicles), usually parked in an easily accessible location. Car-sharing can eliminate the need for a personal vehicle.
Changes in the concentrations of various gases in the atmosphere that are affecting the planet's climate. Many scientists believe that the increase of carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, which occurs when gases trap warmth in the earth's atmosphere instead of letting the atmosphere release it.
Fluorescent light bulbs that fit into a standard light bulb socket and use a fraction of the energy of their incandescent counterparts.
Decayed plants and other organic matter that breaks down into rich soil.
Poking small holes in the top few inches of lawn to encourage the flow of air, water, and nutrients.
