Mine has a slot for my camera SD card |
- Posted by finchelover (My Page) on Sun, Nov 13, 11 at 18:59
thanks my granson"s girlfriend was just here and she told me about the card.....thanks |
...and almost all digital cameras have a cable that plugs into the camera on one end and, on the other end, has a USB connection that plugs into any USB port in the computer. However, if you have a slot for the camera's memory card in the computer, this is a generally faster way to transfer photos. |
Call me old fashion if you wish as I find it easier to just use the cable transfer method with my Canon. The card trafnsfer method requires me to remove the card, install it into my system, perform the desired task, remove it from the system, and reinstall it in the camera. I never really noticed that much speed difference between the methods. I do use the card method with the mini-SD for my cellphone. DA |
dammccoy- Speed may vary depending on the card/camera combo, but I've had 4-5 different digital cameras and different cards and they all seem to be noticeably slower when hooked up by cable, even with a USB 2.0 port. The few seconds it takes me to pull the card and pop it into my computer takes me less time than hunting around for the cable and then plugging it in, etc. Another advantage of using the card slot instead of hooking up the camera is that you don't use up battery charge (the camera has to be turned on to do the transfer using a cable). There have been several times where I've done a transfer by cable and started looking at the pictures, deciding which ones to transfer, which ones to rotate, showing them to a family member, etc....and then realized belatedly that I had had my camera turned on for half an hour while I was fooling around. |
My Canon takes two AAs and I have two sets of photo rechargeable batteries. For me I am at the stage of my life when I am no hurry for almost everything. I spent too many years at work and the standard family hullabaloo being at full speed while life passed by. A few seconds make very little difference to me now. It's kind of like those drivers who always like to go 5 mph over the limit just to get there sooner. Unless you are doing 10, 12, or more hours of travel it really doesn't very much difference. |

A nice country shot Kerry. They look as if they would like to get to the longer grass on the other side of the fence. Feed looks very sparse on their side.
Thanks very much Trish, no they did'nt have much feed, we chatted to the farmer who told us they had to be hand fed as well!

When he was very young, Anarchist was adopted by a white couple. When he was old enough, he began to question the difference in his and his parents' skin tones, and would frequently try to wash himself clean, thinking he was constantly dirty. It was thus how Anarchist discovered his mutant ability. When Anarchist was with the X-Statix, he struggled for face time on the television with the other members what he thought was too much. Because of this, Anarchist, along with fellow X-Statix Dead Girl, left to form his own television show. After the series flopped, they both returned to the X-Statix. Although Anarchist was one of the more successful members of the X-Statix, he could not avoid being killed in the last mission along with the other members. CreationAnarchist was created by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred in 2001 and first appeared in X-Force # 116. Powers Anarchist can secrete acidic sweat which allows him to generate electrochemical energy which he can project as a destructive blast or a small amount subtle enough to change the outcome of rolling dice. He can also secrete a sticky adhesive.

noun \ˌja-və-ˈnēz, ˌjä-, -ˈnēs\Definition of JAVANESE
Origin of JAVANESE
Rhymes with JAVANESE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Any member of the largest ethnic group on the island of Java, Indonesia. They speak an Austronesian language. The Javanese are Muslim, though relatively few are strictly observant. Traditional Javanese social organization varied in structure from relatively egalitarian villages to the highly stratified society of the cities; these differences find expression in the many Javanese styles of speech still in use. Javanese villages are compact groups of single-family houses, generally built of bamboo, surrounding a central square. Rice is the main food crop. The growth of large cities in Java has produced an urban underclass who live in makeshift huts in enclosed neighbourhoods.

I keep hearing about all these other states that have "compost sites" where the city puts leaves and grass clippings in huge piles to make compost and I was wondering if we have anything like that around here.
What about free mulch? Have any of you ever called local tree companies and asked them to bring you their truck loads of tree chips to use as mulch? Do you have any other suggestions for free mulch?

We have a great facility in Lafayette. They pick up yard wastes and compost them and we can pick up the free compost. More places should do it--it cuts way down on stuff that would otherwise go into the landfills, and it's a wonderful resource for people, especially if you have a good strong back, which I don't. They will dump it in your pick-up for you, or you can fill containers or garbage bags yourself. |

"These enclosure cards were perfect to go along with our formal invitations. We were able to work in information about the reception location, directions, and RSVP instructions (since we were having our guests RSVP online). Great back and forth with the custom designer. Only docked 1 star for design because I would have loved if it automatically came with the same back design as the invitation (instead of plain white)."
"I used this card for directions. It looked beautiful. I was very happy with the overall look. The quality was great. I do recommend."
"I liked everything about the product. The "milk" color font is not as ivory-like as I thought, but all in all, nicely done cards."
"I love how I was able to personalize this card to include information on our wedding gift registry. The black was not as deep or rich as i expected but the matte was interesting."

Bismillah (993337) writes "A potentially very serious bug in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 beta has been discovered that can leak just about any information, from keys to content. Better yet, it appears to have been introduced in 2011, and known since March 2012." Quoting the security advisory: "A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server." The attack may be repeated and it appears trivial to acquire the host's private key. If you were running a vulnerable release, it is even suggested that you go as far as revoking all of your keys. Distributions using OpenSSL 0.9.8 are not vulnerable (Debian Squeeze vintage). Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04.4, Centos 6.5, Fedora 18, SuSE 12.2, OpenBSD 5.4, FreeBSD 8.4, and NetBSD 5.0.2 and all following releases are vulnerable. OpenSSL released 1.0.1g today addressing the vulnerability. Debian's fix is in incoming and should hit mirrors soon, Fedora is having some trouble applying their patches, but a workaround patch to the package .spec (disabling heartbeats) is available for immediate application.
First time accepted submitter ControlsGeek (156589) writes "The Raspberry Pi Foundation has developed a new product. It is basically a Raspberry Pi model A processor, memory, and flash memory on a DDR2-style SODIMM connector. Also available will be a development board that breaks out all the internal connections. The board design will be open sourced so you can develop your own devices using the BCM2835 processor. No network, but support for 2 HDMI displays and 2 cameras, so 3D TV is a possibility.
An anonymous reader writes "Despite whispers of growing dissatisfaction among consumers, there are still very few ISP start-ups popping up in communities all over the U.S. There are two main reasons for this: up-front costs and legal obstacles. The first reason discourages anyone who doesn't have Google's investors or the local government financially supporting them from even getting a toe in the business. 'Financial analysts last year estimated that Google had to spend $84 million to build a fiber network that passed 149,000 homes in Kansas City, with the cost per home at $500 to $674.' The second reason will keep any new start-up defending itself in court against frivolous lawsuits incumbent ISP providers have been known to file to bleed the newcomers dry in legal fees. There are also ISP lobbyists working to pass laws that prevent local governments from either entering the ISP market themselves or partnering with private companies to provide ISP alternatives. Given these set-backs and growing dissatisfaction with the status quo, one has to wonder how long before the U.S. recognizes the internet as a utility and passes laws and regulations accordingly."
jaa101 (627731) writes "The owner of a drone which fell and reportedly hit an athlete competing in a triathlon in Western Australia's Mid West has said he believes the device was 'hacked' into." From the article: "Mr Abrams said an initial investigation had indicted that someone nearby "channel hopped" the device, taking control away from the operator. ... Mr Abrams said it was a deliberate act and it would be difficult to determine who was responsible as something as common as a mobile phone could be used to perform a channel hop. The videographer added that there had been a similar incident when the drone was flown earlier in the day."
NicknamesAreStupid (1040118) writes "As Whoever57 pointed out, there are some who will still get support for Microsoft Windows XP — the 'haves'. However, most will be the 'have nots.' Anytime you have such market imbalance, there is opportunity. Since Microsoft clearly intends to create a disparity, there will certainly be those who defy it. What will Microsoft do to prevent bootleg patches of XP from being sold to the unwashed masses? How will they stop China from supporting 100 million bootleg XP users? And how easily will it be to crack Microsoft's controls? How big will the Windows XP patch market be?" There are a lot of businesses still on Windows XP; if you work for one of them, will the official end of life spur actually cause you to upgrade? (And if so, to what?)
rjmarvin (3001897) writes "Researchers at the U.K.'s Lancaster University have reimagined the fundamental logic behind encryption, stumbling across a radically new way to encrypt data while creating software models to simulate how the human heart and lungs coordinate rhythms. The encryption method published in the American Physical Society journal and filed as a patent entitled 'Encoding Data Using Dynamic System Coupling,' transmits and receive multiple encrypted signals simultaneously, creating an unlimited number of possibilities for the shared encryption key and making it virtually impossible to decrypt using traditional methods. One of the researchers, Peter McClintock, called the encryption scheme 'nearly unbreakable.'
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."
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?"
An anonymous reader writes "Since Edward Snowden started making NSA files public last year, GSMK has seen a jump in sales. There are more than 100,000 CryptoPhones in use today. How secure they really are will be determined in the future. But I'm sure that some government agencies, not just in the U.S., are very interested in getting a list of users." For the price the company's charging for a modified Galaxy S3, it had better be as secure as they claim; otherwise, the free and open source RedPhone from Moxie Marlinspike's Whisper Systems seems like something to think about first.
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft [Thursday] announced a change to how it handles adware, a form of malware that pushes unwanted advertisements to the user. As of July 1, the company's security products will immediately stop any adware they detect and notify the user, who can then restore the program if they wish. Currently, when any of Microsoft's security products (including Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft Forefront) detects a program as adware, it will alert the user and offer them a recommended action. If the user doesn't do anything, the security product will let the program continue to run until the user makes a decision." If adware is malware, why wait until July?
whoever57 (658626) writes "The UK Government has signed a contract worth £5.5M (almost $9M) for extended support and security updates for Windows XP for 12 months after April 8. The deal covers XP, Exchange 2003 and Office 2003 for users in central and local government, schools and the National Health Service. The NHS is in need of this deal because it was estimated last September that 85% of the NHS's 800,000 computers were running XP."
mspohr (589790) writes with this news from the BBC: "The discovery of bugs in software used to run oil rigs, refineries and power plants has prompted a global push to patch the widely used control system. The bugs were found by security researchers and, if exploited, could give attackers remote access to control systems for the installations. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said an attacker with 'low skill' would be able to exploit the bugs. About 7,600 plants around the world are using the vulnerable software. 'We went from zero to total compromise,' said Juan Vazquez, a researcher at security firm Rapid7 who, with colleague Julian Diaz, found several holes in Yokogawa's Centum CS 3000 software which was first released to run on Windows 98 to monitor and control machinery in many large industrial installations. The researchers also explored other SCADA software: 'We ended up finding over 1,000 bugs in 100 days.'" The vulnerabilities reported are in Yokogawa's Centum CS 300 industrial control software.

chicksdaddy writes: "The pervasiveness of the NSA's spying operation has turned it into a kind of bugaboo — the monster lurking behind every locked networking closet and the invisible hand behind every flawed crypto implementation. Those inclined to don the tinfoil cap won't be reassured by Vint Cerf's offhand observation in a Google Hangout on Wednesday that, back in the mid 1970s, the world's favorite intelligence agency may have also stood in the way of stronger network layer security being a part of the original specification for TCP/IP. (Video with time code.) Researchers at the time were working on just such a lightweight cryptosystem. On Stanford's campus, Cerf noted that Whit Diffie and Martin Hellman had researched and published a paper that described the functioning of a public key cryptography system. But they didn't yet have the algorithms to make it practical. (Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman published the RSA algorithm in 1977). As it turns out, however, Cerf did have access to some really bleeding edge cryptographic technology back then that might have been used to implement strong, protocol-level security into the earliest specifications of TCP/IP. Why weren't they used? The crypto tools were part of a classified NSA project he was working on at Stanford in the mid 1970s to build a secure, classified Internet. 'At the time I couldn't share that with my friends,' Cerf said."
New submitter Smiffa2001 writes: "The BBC reports that five-year-old Kristoffer Von Hassel from San Diego has uncovered a (frankly embarrassing) security flaw within the Xbox One login screen. Apparently by entering an incorrect password in the first prompt and then filling the second field with spaces, a user can log in without knowing a password to an account. Young Kristoffer's dad submitted the flaw to Microsoft — who have patched the flaw — and have generously provided four free games, $50, a year-long subscription to Xbox Live and an entry on their list of Security Researcher Acknowledgments."
mask.of.sanity writes: "A security researcher says he has developed a method to score free flights across Europe by generating fake boarding passes designed for Apple's Passbook app. The 18-year-old computer science undergrad didn't reveal the 'bypass' which gets the holder of the fraudulent ticket past the last scanner and onto the jetway; he's saving that for his talk at Hack in the Box in Amsterdam next month."
atrader42 (687933) writes "Microsoft announced a new .NET compiler that compiles .NET code to native code using the C++ compiler backend. It produces performance like C++ while still enabling .NET features like garbage collection, generics, and reflection. Popular apps have been measured to start up to 60% faster and use 15% less memory. The preview currently only supports Windows Store applications, but is expected to apply to more .NET applications in the long term. A preview of the compiler is available for download now. (Caveat: I both work for MS and read Slashdot.)"
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at New York University have devised a new scheme called PolyPassHash for storing password hash data so that passwords cannot be individually cracked by an attacker. Instead of a password hash being stored directly in the database, the information is used to encode a share in a Shamir Secret Store (technical details PDF). This means that a password cannot be validated without recovering a threshold of shares, thus an attacker must crack groups of passwords together. The solution is fast, easy to implement (with C and Python implementations available), requires no changes to clients, and makes a huge difference in practice. To put the security difference into perspective, three random 6 character passwords that are stored using standard salted secure hashes can be cracked by a laptop in an hour. With a PolyPassHash store, it would take every computer on the planet longer to crack these passwords than the universe is estimated to exist. With this new technique, HoneyWords, and hardware solutions all available, does an organization have any excuse if their password database is disclosed and user passwords are cracked?."
MojoKid (1002251) writes "Today, Qualcomm is announcing full support for a new wireless transmission method that could significantly boost performance on crowded networks. The new standard, MU-MIMO (Multiple User — Multiple Input and Multiple Output) has a clunky name — but could make a significant difference to home network speeds and make gigabit WiFi a practical reality. MU-MIMO is part of the 802.11ac Release 2 standard, so this isn't just a custom, Qualcomm-only feature. In SU-MIMO mode, a wireless router creates time slices for every device it detects on the network. Every active device on the network slows down the total system bandwidth — the router has to pay attention to every device, and it can only pay attention to one phone, tablet, or laptop at a time. The difference between single-user and multi-user configurations is that where SU can only serve one client at a time and can therefore only allocate a fraction of total bandwidth to any given device, MU can create groups of devices and communicate with all three simultaneously."
An anonymous reader writes "In an unprecedented total disruption of a fully operational GNSS constellation, all satellites in the Russian GLONASS broadcast corrupt information for 11 hours, from just past midnight until noon Russian time (UTC+4), on April 2 (or 5 p.m. on April 1 to 4 a.m. April 2, U.S. Eastern time). This rendered the system completely unusable to all worldwide GLONASS receivers."
Lucas123 writes: "A presentation released today by Intel revealed images of the USB 3.1 Type-C cable and connectors, which is symmetrical and will no longer require a user to correctly orient the plug. Initially, the USB 3.1 Type-C specification will support up to 10Gbps data transfer speeds. The Type-C connectors resemble those of Apple's Thunderbolt cabling in that they are much smaller than today's USB SuperSpeed connectors. The receptacle opening is 8.3mm x 2.5mm.The first iteration will have a 5 volt power transfer rate, but it is expected to deliver up to 100 watts for higher power applications in the future."
benrothke (2577567) writes "When it comes to documenting the history of cryptography, David Kahn is singularly one of the finest, if not the finest writers in that domain. For anyone with an interest in the topic, Kahn's works are read in detail and anticipated. His first book was written almost 50 years ago: The Codebreakers – The Story of Secret Writing; which was a comprehensive overview on the history of cryptography. Other titles of his include Seizing the Enigma: The Race to Break the German U-Boats Codes, 1939-1943. The Codebreakers was so good and so groundbreaking, that some in the US intelligence community wanted the book banned. They did not bear a grudge, as Kahn became an NSA scholar-in-residence in the mid 1990's. With such a pedigree, many were looking forward, including myself, to his latest book How I Discovered World War IIs Greatest Spy and Other Stories of Intelligence and Code. While the entire book is fascinating, it is somewhat disingenuous, in that there is no new material in it. Many of the articles are decades old, and some go back to the late 1970's. From the book description and cover, one would get the impression that this is an all new work. But it is not until ones reads the preface, that it is detailed that the book is simple an assemblage of collected articles." Keep reading for the rest of Ben's review.
Chester Wisniewski's nakedsecurity describes Wisniewski's specialty thus: "He provides advice and insight into the latest threats for security and IT professionals with the goal of providing clear guidance on complex topics." So he's obviously someone who might know a little about preventing future Target-style security debacles. We've also interviewed tech journalist Wayne Rash about this topic, and will probably interview another security expert or two. Many Slashdot users may find all this credit card security talk boring, but for those who handle security matters for a living, especially for retailers, it's vital information. So here's Tim Lord talking with Chet, who is a recognized security expert for Sophos, one of the big dogs in the IT security field, when Chet was in Texas for the latest iteration of Security B-Sides in Austin.

Nemo the Magnificent (2786867) writes "A friend of mine bought a Western Digital 'MyCloud' NAS server (non-RAID) a couple of weeks ago. WD implements the cloud service through its wd2go.com site. He reports that that site is down and has been since last Wednesday. No word on when it'll be back up. The only official announcements are daily repeats of this canned posting: 'Our My Cloud and My Book Live users are experiencing intermittent issues with WD servers that enable remote access when using these products. These issues include poor transfer speeds and/or inability to connect remotely. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and we are working very hard to resolve these issues and resume normal service as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience and will provide updates as they are available.'"
UnderAttack (311872) writes "The SANS Internet Storm Center got an interesting story about how some of the devices scanning its honeypot turned out to be infected DVRs. These DVRs are commonly used to record footage from security cameras, and likely got infected themselves due to weak default passwords (12345). Now they are being turned into bots (but weren't they bots before that?) and are used to scan for Synology Disk Stations who are vulnerable. In addition, these DVRs now also run a copy of a bitcoin miner. Interestingly, all of this malware is compiled for ARM CPUs, so this is not a case of standard x86 exploits that happen to hit an embedded system/device."
Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "Reuters is reporting that the U.S. National Security Agency managed to have security firm RSA adopt not just one, but two security tools, further facilitating NSA eavesdropping on Internet communications. The newly discovered software is dubbed 'Extended Random', and is intended to facilitate the use of the already known 'Dual Elliptic Curve' encryption software's back door. Researchers from several U.S. universities discovered Extended Random and assert it could help crack Dual Elliptic Curve encrypted communications 'tens of thousands of times faster'."
An anonymous reader writes: "Nitesh Dhanjani has written a paper outlining the security mechanisms surrounding the Tesla Model S, as well as its shortcomings, titled 'Cursory Evaluation of the Tesla Model S: We Can't Protect Our Cars Like We Protect Our Workstations.' Dhanjani says users are required to set up an account secured by a six-character password when they order the car. This password is used to unlock a mobile phone app and to gain access to the user's online Tesla account. The freely available mobile app can locate and unlock the car remotely, as well as control and monitor other functions.
The password is vulnerable to several kinds of attacks similar to those used to gain access to a computer or online account. An attacker might guess the password via a Tesla website, which Dhanjani says does not restrict the number of incorrect login attempts. Dhanjani said there is also evidence that Tesla support staff can unlock cars remotely, leaving car owners vulnerable to attackers impersonating them, and raising questions about the apparent power of such employees to locate and unlock any car with or without the owner's knowledge or permission. In his paper, Dhanjani also describes the issue of Tesla's REST APIs being used by third parties without Tesla's permission, causing Tesla owners' credentials to be sent to those third parties, who could misuse the information to locate and unlock cars."
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 "The makers of two major mobile apps, Fandango and Credit Karma, have settled with the Federal Trade Commission after the commission charged that they deliberately misrepresented the security of their apps and failed to validate SSL certificates. The apps promised users that their data was being sent over secure SSL connections, but the apps had disabled the validation process. The settlements with the FTC don't include any monetary penalties, but both companies have been ordered to submit to independent security audits every other year for the next 20 years and to put together comprehensive security programs."
An anonymous reader writes "Security engineers from Google have found that 21 out of the top 25 news organizations have been targeted by cyberattacks that are likely state-sponsored. We've heard about some high profile attacks on news sites, but Google actively tracks the countries that are launching these attacks, and even hosts email services for many of the news organizations. 'Huntley said Chinese hackers recently gained access to a major Western news organization, which he declined to identify, via a fake questionnaire emailed to staff. Most such attacks involve carefully crafted emails carrying malware or directing users to a website crafted to trick them into giving up credentials. Marquis-Boire said that while such attacks were nothing new, their research showed that the number of attacks on media organizations and journalists that went unreported was significantly higher than those made public.'"
coondoggie writes "By all accounts, many of the massive data breaches in the news these days are first revealed to the victims by law enforcement: the Secret Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation. But how do the agencies figure it out before the companies know they have been breached, especially given the millions companies spend on security and their intense focus on compliance? The agencies do the one thing companies don't do. They attack the problem from the other end by looking for evidence that a crime has been committed. Agents go undercover in criminal forums where stolen payment cards, customer data and propriety information are sold. They monitor suspects and sometimes get court permission to break into password-protected enclaves where cyber-criminals lurk."
concertina226 (2447056) writes "Chinese authorities have detained a total of 1,530 suspects in a crackdown on spam SMS text messages being sent out by illegal telecoms equipment, according to Chinese news agency ECNS. Over 2,600 fake mobile base stations were seized and 24 sites manufacturing illegal telecoms equipment shut down as part of a massive nationwide operation involving nine central government and Communist Party of China departments. A report released by Trend Micro this month looked into the telecoms equipment black market in China (PDF) and found that cybercriminals routinely use either a GSM modem, an internet short message gateway and an SMS server to send out spam messages. On the underground market, SMS servers come in 'all-in-one' packages that include a laptop, a GSM mobile phone, an SMS server, an antenna to send out the fake signal and a USB cable, all for RMB 45,000 (£4,355)."
An anonymous reader writes "As most of us working in IT may know, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP on April 8th, 2014. Although this fact has been known for quite some time, XP is still relatively popular in companies and also enjoys noticeable marketshare for home users. Even ATMs are running XP and will continue to do so for some time. A lot of companies/users don't want to change because they see no additional benefit to do a costly upgrade, no reason to change a running system, and they may in some cases be right with their assumptions. So what is the best way to secure this remaining Windows XP systems? Installing the latest security patches, checking firewall status and user permissions etc. should be fairly obvious, as Microsoft Security Essentials may also not receive updates anymore, changing antivirus programs seems a sensible thing to do."
mask.of.sanity (1228908) writes "eBay Japan created passwords for accounts based on a combination of a username plus a static salt, allowing anyone with knowledge of it to access any account, a researcher reported. The salt, which should have been random, used was the combination '123456', which was reported as last year's worst password." Complete with visual aids.
An anonymous reader writes "After hiring the lead Btrfs developers and Linux kernel block maintainers last year, Facebook is beginning trial deployments of Btrfs. Facebook will start using the next-generation file-system within their web-tier and they will be among the first major public deployments of Btrfs."
wiredmikey writes: "Russian government officials have swapped their iPads for Samsung tablets to ensure tighter security, the telecoms minister told news agencies on Wednesday. Journalists spotted that ministers at a cabinet meeting were no longer using Apple tablets, and minister Nikolai Nikiforov confirmed the changeover "took place not so long ago." He said the ministers' new Samsungs were "specially protected devices that can be used to work with confidential information." This isn't the first time Russian powers have had concerns over mobile. In August 2012, Russia unveiled a prototype tablet with its own "almost Android" mobile OS that has the remarkably familiar feel of an Android but with bolstered encryption. In an even more paranoid move, this past July a Russian state service in charge of safeguarding Kremlin communications was looking to purchase an array of old-fashioned typewriters to prevent leaks from computer hardware."
Daniel_Stuckey (2647775) writes "The FBI is intercepting the prison correspondence of infamous Internet troll Andrew "weev" Auernheimer, including letters from his defense team, according to his attorney. 'He's sent me between 10 and 20 letters in the last month or two. I've received one,' Tor Ekeland, who had just returned from visiting Auernheimer at the federal corrections institute in Allenwood, PA., told the Daily Dot in a video interview.
Last March, Auernheimer was convicted of accessing a computer without authorization and sentenced to 41 months in prison. As a member of the computer security team Goatse Security, Auernheimer discovered a major security flaw in AT&T's network, which allowed him to download the email addresses of some 114,000 iPad users. Goatse Security reported the flaw to Gawker and provided journalists with the information, who then published it in redacted form."
itwbennett writes: "A new variant of the Gameover computer Trojan is targeting job seekers and recruiters by attempting to steal log-in credentials for Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com accounts. Like the Zeus banking malware on which it is based, Gameover can steal log-in credentials and other sensitive information by injecting rogue Web forms into legitimate websites when accessed from infected computers. 'A computer infected with Gameover ZeuS will inject a new 'Sign In' button [into the Monster.com sign-in page], but the page looks otherwise identical,' security researchers from antivirus firm F-Secure said Tuesday in a blog post."
What happens when your oven is on the Internet? A malicious hacker might be able to set it to broil while you're on vacation, and get it so hot that it could start a fire. Or a prankster might set your alarm to wake you up at 3 a.m. - and what if someone gets access to the wireless security camera over your front door and uses it to gain access to the rest of your home network, and from there to your bank account? Not good. With the 'Internet of Things' you will have many devices to secure, not just a couple of computers and handheld devices. Timothy Lord met Mark Stanislav of Duo Security at BSides Austin 2014, which is where this interview took place.(Here's an alternate link to the video.)
jfruh (300774) writes "Security vendors like Trustwave can make big bucks when major companies decide they don't have the internal resources to handle their cybersecurity needs. Unfortunately, when taking on security chores, you also take on security liabilities. In the wake of Target's massive credit card security breach, both Target and Trustwave are now on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit, in part backed by banks that had to issue thousands of new credit cards." The filing, and a bit more from El Reg: "It's against Target, however, that the most serious allegations are levelled. The class action led by Trustmark National Bank and Green Bank, say the retailer should not have allowed an outside contractor the access to its network that brought about the breach, and that it violated federal and state laws in storing the credit card data on its network."
An anonymous reader writes with good news for advocates of Full Disclosure of security vulnerabilities. A week ago, the venerable full-disclosure list was shut down; now, a successor has arisen run by fyodor. From the announcement email: "As an F-D subscriber and occasional poster myself, I was as shocked as you all last week when John Cartwright threw in the towel and shuttered the list. Now I don't blame him one bit. He performed a thankless job admirably for 12 years and deserves some time off. But I, for one, already miss Full Disclosure. So I decided to make a new list today which is a successor in name and spirit. Like the old one, it uses Mailman and is being archived by my Seclists.org site as well as numerous other archives around the world. This list is a fresh start, so the old userbase won't automatically transfer over. And I haven't added any of you either, because it is your choice. ... I hope you'll join us and resume posting your security info and advisories. If not now, then someday."
rjmarvin writes: "Researchers in the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a platform for building secure web applications and services that never decrypt or leak data. MIT researcher Raluca Ada Popa, who previously worked on the Google and SAP-adopted CryptoDB, and her team, have put a longstanding philosophy into practice: to never store unencrypted data on servers. They've redesigned the entire approach to securing online data by creating Mylar, which builds and updates applications to keep data secure from server breaches with constant encryption during storage, only decrypting the data in the user's browser. Integrated with the open-source Meteor framework, a Mylar prototype has already secured six applications by changing only 35 lines of code."
judgecorp (778838) writes "A newly discovered malware attack uses a smartphone connected to the computer that manages an ATM, and then sends an SMS message to instruct it to dispense cash. The attack was reported by Symantec, and builds on a previous piece of malware called Backdoor.Ploutus. It is being used in actual attacks, and Symantec has demonstrated it with an ATM in its labs, though it is not revealing the brand of the vulnerable machines."
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "As attacks like the one on Target have exposed up to 40 million customer payment card accounts and the names, addresses and email addresses of as many as 70 million shoppers, Tiffany Hsu and E. Scott Reckard report in the LA Times that increased activity by data hackers has produced millions of victims but there has been one big winner: credit monitoring businesses. "It's almost a terrible thing to say, but these kinds of situations raise awareness of the need to protect yourself and to be more vigilant in checking your transactions," says Yaron Samid. Meanwhile services with names such as BillGuard and Identity Guard report a surge in sign-ups from people anxious to be protected. For example, the number of AAA Southern California members opting in for the club's identity theft monitoring service — whether for free or for an extra charge — boomed in January, up 58% from December."

wiredmikey (1824622) writes "Microsoft warned on Monday of a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2014-1761) in Microsoft Word 2010 that is being actively exploited in targeted attacks. If successfully exploited, an attacker could gain the same user rights as the current user, Microsoft said, noting that users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than accounts with administrative privileges. 'The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted RTF file using an affected version of Microsoft Word, or previews or opens a specially crafted RTF email message in Microsoft Outlook while using Microsoft Word as the email viewer,' Microsoft explained Microsoft did not share any details on the attacks that leveraged the vulnerability, but did credit Drew Hintz, Shane Huntley, and Matty Pellegrino of the Google Security Team for reporting it to Microsoft."

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."
msm1267 (2804139) writes "The first deep look into the security of the Android patch installation process, specifically its Package Management Service (PMS), has revealed a weakness that puts potentially every Android device at risk for privilege escalation attacks. Researchers from Indiana University and Microsoft published a paper that describes a new set of Android vulnerabilities they call Pileup flaws, and also introduces a new scanner called SecUP that detects malicious apps already on a device lying in wait for elevated privileges. The vulnerability occurs in the way PMS handles updates to the myriad flavors of Android in circulation today. The researchers say PMS improperly vets apps on lower versions of Android that request OS or app privileges that may not exist on the older Android version, but are granted automatically once the system is updated.
The researchers said they found a half-dozen different Pileup flaws within Android's Package Management Service, and confirmed those vulnerabilities are present in all Android Open Source Project versions and more than 3,500 customized versions of Android developed by handset makers and carriers; more than one billion Android devices are likely impacted, they said." Handily enough, the original paper is not paywalled.

Although it comprised only a tiny minority of the population (no more than ten per-cent), the French Huguenot or Calvinist faith, and its rapid spread in France, had the effect of destabilizing the country by the early 1560s. The Huguenot struggle for toleration, for the acceptance of two faiths under one ruler, and the ensuing wars of religion (1562-1598) were the occasion of some of the sixteenth century's worst excesses of religious extremism. Nonetheless, this struggle also gave rise to eloquent pleas for toleration and, with the Edict of Nantes (1598) at the end of the conflict, to state-imposed, if ultimately temporary and limited, religious freedom.
The famous painting of the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre in Paris on 24 August 1572 depicts scenes from the most notorious incident in the French wars of religion and one of the most striking examples of the extremes of religious intolerance in the age. The Huguenot (French Calvinist) painter, François Dubois is reputed to have been an eyewitness to the massacre of thousands of his fellow Huguenots on the streets of Paris.

7 Disney Shows We Miss
These days, Disney Channel is very out with the old and in with the new, and we can't help getting nostalgic! We've compiled a list of seven Disney Channel shows we miss to make sure collegiettes remember to appreciate the old days of awesome TV!
1. Lizzie McGuire
How can you not miss Lizzie McGuire? From awkward encounters in the high school hallways, to holiday episodes with 90's pop sensation, Aaron Carter, this show was absolutely irresistable. Plus, don't we all wish we had a sassy conscience helping us out every day?
2. Even Stevens
I don't know about you, but Ren Stevens' moon song will forever be stuck in my head. Her witty personality and hilarious relationship with her brother Louis made this show just plain awesome.
3. That's So Raven
We absolutely loved this sassy psychic and her crazy family and friends. Plus, she always kept us laughing. If we were psychic, we'd predict a reunion (in our dreams!)
4. Lilo and Stitch
The friendship between these two was unbreakable, and we loved getting to watch their "ohana" on Disney Channel. This show was full of adorable life lessons, and we can't help but wish it was still on TV!
5. The Proud Family
I don't know about you, but I would definitely be proud to be a part of the Proud family. This family was hilarious, sassy, and absolutely irresistable on TV! Oscar and Trudy made an awesome couple and Penny proud was just plain awesome.
6. Phil of the Future
We loved watching this family who was stranded in the wrong century! It's too bad that Phil of the Future didn't stay on TV long enough to see the future, because this show was awesome.
7. Kim Possible
Everything felt possible when Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable were teamed up together. We miss this dynamic duo, and their naked mole rat, Rufus!
What old Disney Channel TV shows do you miss? Comment below!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Juneau!
Facts about Juneau
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Juneau's Info...
I am already spayed.
Friendly and loves to be petted. Likes to explore and plop and lay wherever.
Other Pets at Second Hand Purrs
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Juneau, a Milwaukee Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Milwaukee, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Milwaukee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Milwaukee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Milwaukee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Milwaukee paves the way for another one to be saved.

Iris Bishop CollectionsIris Bishop PatternsA recent addition to Iris's portfolio are these individual patterns. They are derived from patterns that have been published in knitting magazines or from workshops for which she is so famous. Each design has a knitting technique incorporated within it that you will find most useful in many other projects. Scallop-Edged Top CollectionsArt of Painting. Have you ever created designs for your knitting machine where you wanted to add more color to the fabric than the machine generally allows? Methods of introducing more colors like intarsia and double jacquard are ver effective, but can be very time consuming or affect the "drape" and texture of knitted fabric. The use of fabric paint permits the addition of color and decoration while keeping the original texture of the fabric in tact. After using some of the designs and techniques in this book, you will have a good working basis from which to experiment with new ideas and products. Around the World. The inspiration for this collection of Fair Isle designs is the variety of ethnic cultures "Around the World" who have developed a unique style of decoration, particularly in the field of textiles. Iris has looked at their traditional motifs and patterns as a starting point, then developed them in her own style. Many of the designs are borders which are very versatile, as they can be used to decorate a plain garment or combined to create rich Fair Isle fabrics. As with all of Iris's Fair Isle designs, there are short floats on the reverse side of the fabric. Animal Textures. The variety of fascinating textures and weights of fabric that can be produced on a basic knitting machine will amaze you. For this collection, Iris has used a standard gauge, single bed machine with a stitch repeat of 24 stitches. Some textures like the "fake fur" fabric do not look knitted, at first sight. Others like the "tiger texture" coat look expensive, but are not available from expensive stores. Included are plenty of practical notes with each fabric which will hopefully inspire you to experiment with these designs, using this book as a workshop experience rather than just another collection of designs. Animation. This collection for Electronic knitting machines is available in either Brother 940 or DesignaKnit format disk and contains 9 beautiful and subtle designs derived from the animal kingdom including Tigers, Leopards, Zebras, etc. Autumn-Winter. Every season brings forth new images and themes which are then interpreted by each designer in their own style. Iris takes 4 themes (Textural, Oriental, Medieval, and Scandinavian) in this collection and creates a selection of fabric designs which she hopes you will find useful and inspiring.
Christmas Designs. A collection of original fabric designs for 12 and 24 stitch punchcard and electronic machines. Countryside Celebration. This collection of designs inspired by the countryside includes elements of the countryside such as flowers, woodland streams and wildlife as well as some architectural features found in the landscape like churches, windmills, etc. For each month of the year there is a complete pictorial design, but within each one there are borders and motifs like butterflies, foxes and flowers which can be used separately. Fair Isle Pot-Pourri. A collection of original fabric designs for 24 st. punchcard and electronic machines. Inspiration Through the Ages. As a designer, Iris often finds inspiration when visiting museums or historical sites, observing the wonderful crafts and motifs from past generations. This collection of designs has developed from sketches made during such visits, reflecting motifs from her favorite periods of art history. Spring-Summer. Iris has selected 3 themes (Ecology, Lace, Nostalgia) from the season's fashion stories, creating 3 Fair Isle patterns for each one. Designed for 24 st. punchcard and electronic machines. Sports and Pastimes. An important part of the craft of machine knitting is in creating garments, by request, for family, friends and customers. This collection of sports and pastimes was designed as a useful reference book for requests on these subjects. The book was inspired by knitters who sent in suggestions following Iris's articles in Machine Knitting Monthly magazine. Woodland Collection. This book is a collection of some of Iris's favorite subjects from her local countryside. She has created a landscape design for each month of the year, plus a variety of associated border patterns which can be used in their own right. All of her designs start life as sketches and she enjoys the challenge of retaining as much detail within the designs as possible to create a realistic and professional finish. In response to requests from knitters who have used her previous design collections she has included some garment patterns in his book. These are some of her "basic shapes" which can be used with any of the designs in this book, or her other design collections. 40 Stitch Special. It is a great pleasure to present this collection of designs especially for Passap machines. Iris has taken some of the most popular designs from her own publications, magazine articles etc., and reworked them for 40 sts, plus some completely new ideas. The four themes she has worked on are decorative patterns, floral designs, animal designs and sports and hobbies. PatternsScallop-Edged Top. This is one of her favorite garment shapes, as it is an elegant, simple top that suits most of her fabric designs. Teamed with one of her skirts below, it creates an instant "suit" The technique for knitting scallop edges that do not stretch or go out of shape can be adapted for many other uses. This can be knitted on any standard gauge, single bed machine, without a ribber. Mock-Rib Skirt. This absolutely classic skirt is extremely easy and quick to knit on any standard gauge, single bed machine. The ribbed effect is created by mixing thin and thick yarns, making a fabric that drapes well. The skirt works well in any length from "mini" to "maxi" and is very comfortable to wear. Mock-Pleat Skirt. This distinctive, elegant skirt combines the "knitweave" technique with stripes of varying yarn thickness' to create a soft drape. Because of the knitweave technique the skirt will not "drop" and no finishing is required to the bottom edge. The skirt is knitted on a single bed machine only, no ribber is required. Knitweave Skirt. This classic skirt can be knit in a variety of weights, depending on the yarn used, from Summer to Winter weight. Knitweave skirts have the advantages of being a smooth fabric that drapes well, no finishing is required on the bottom edge, and the skirt cannot "drop" because the weaving yarn prevents it. Double-Bed Classics. Pleated skirts are so popular because they coordinate so well with other garments to create an attractive image. Iris has changed her method of knitting the "classic pleated skirt" over the years, resulting in a skirt that is knitted in straight pieces, but shapes automatically into the waistband, without excess bulk around the hipline. Because all the shaping is done in the knitting, there is very little finishing necessary and the pleats are permanent. Iris Bishop Disks

ABC Sets Season Finale Dates For 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'Scandal'
Tonight's brand new episode of Scandal is a ways off of the season finale, but when is it? We're letting you know after the break!
ABC let loose a press release announcing the season finale dates for their 2012-2013 TV season. Tambay over at Shadow And Act gave a once-over the list and found that fans of the Kerry Washington-led show will be along for all the "fixes" until the season finale on May 16.
He notes that it won't be a two-hour finale like Revenge, but with seven new episodes left until the season's end, we all have to agree that that's more than enough time to spend with Olivia Pope and Huck! After two weeks of repeats that surely drove your female friends and significant others crazy, tonight will be an all-new episode.
Unfortunately, those seven episodes will be dragged out over a nine-week period, which means that there will be another two week of repeats sometime between this week and the week of the finale. Is that such a good thing? According to the ratings, which show a healthy uptick, audiences are tuning in even when they episode is a repeat.
For those not ready for Grey's Anatomy to take a hiatus, you'll get the same amount of time with it, as Scandal fans will get with Kerry Washington—the show's finale is also May 16.
Props: Shadow And Act

After an early wake-up call Sunday, the World War II veteran guests of the sixth Big Sky Honor Flight lifted off from Billings in a chartered 737 on their way to Washington, D.C.
The airport was full by 5:30 a.m. as veterans from across the state arrived. Each received a T-shirt, coat and hat that they'll wear throughout the two-day trip.
"I never had time to visit Washington, although I flew in there all the time," said Don Anderson, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, who flew missions all across the South Pacific during WWII and eventually landed at Malmstrom Air Force Base. "Now I'm going back to take the time to see the town."
Anderson, of Hamilton, is traveling with Frank McCauley, the WWI flying ace who flew in 46 combat missions over Europe and who also lives in Hamilton.
"We're taking care of each other," Anderson said.
On his iPad, Anderson showed photos of his PBY-Catalina bomber crew, 10 young men that supported the plane.
"We were island hopping through the South Pacific. Patrolling and dropping mines," Anderson said.
Anderson plans to add plenty more photos to his iPad album in Washington, D.C.
From the chartered flight, the Honor Flight guests will board a fleet of buses Sunday afternoon and head straight the Lincoln Memorial.
That stop is followed by visits to the Vietnam and Korean war memorials nearby on the Mall.
The Honor Flight wastes no time during the 37-hour trip, making sure the veterans get to the memorials and monuments built to honor them.
Many of the veterans from Montana will see their memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for the first time during the tour. The WWII memorial is on the itinerary for Monday.
The Honor Flight is a quick trip but a worthy one, said Rondo Scharfe, who enlisted in the U.S. Navy at the age of 16 using a fake birth certificate and served in the Navy's amphibious forces during the war, including at Iwo Jima.
Scharfe flew on the first Big Sky Honor Flight in 2012 and has since encouraged other area veterans to apply.
"It's kind of nice that the guys get a chance to see it and can relate back. There's lots of memories. You have a lot of good memories and a lot of bad memories. Memories don't go away," said Scharfe, who lives in Missoula.
Scharfe wants veterans to be able to remember and reflect, as well as share their stories.
The Honor Flight also creates the perfect chance for people to thank the veterans, Scharfe said.
"It seem like lots of times people forget and it's always nice when somebody will come up and shake your hand and say, 'Thanks for your service.' So many people won't do that," Scharfe said.
There are five women on the flight.
So far, the Big Sky Honor Flight has taken almost 500 Montana veterans to Washington, D.C.
Fundraising continues for a seventh flight, planned for October, and eighth flight, planned for May.
The sixth flight returns after 8 p.m. on Monday evening, where community members are welcome to meet the veterans at the airport to welcome them home.

Blow off, Bench, or Bargain
Is there anything worse in fantasy football than losing a game because a player in your lineup under-performs and scores few to no (sorry Collie owners) fantasy points? The answer, yes, losing a second game due to a rash decision based on a player's poor numbers in the previous week. Week 1 saw disappointing fantasy performances from early draft day studs such as Jamaal Charles, Peyton Hillis, Frank Gore, Roddy White, Larry Fitzgerald, and so on. While the perennial fantasy studs on this list don't warrant start or sit discussions (don't over-think it, you drafted them early for a reason, get em in your lineup), other players of lesser talents in lower tiers do.
Blow offs: Ignore these players disappointing week 1 fantasy score and don't be afraid to start them.
LeGarrett Blount, RB, Buccaneers – 5 rushes for 15 yards….really? Listen, the Bucs got down early against Detroit and we saw the downside of drafting RBs that don't catch the ball. Blount will bounce back! Just listen to head Coach Raheem Morris, "We want to win games with Blount bludgeoning you for 130 yards".
Shonn Greene, RB, Jets – Sunday night game turned into a shootout for the Jets because that was the Cowboys' weakness. The next couple weeks the Jets play Jacksonville and Oakland. In Both games the Jets should be playing with a lead and will look to establish the run game.
Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs – Was it the light preseason workouts that was to blame for a 2 reception 17 yard performance by Bowe in week 1? Maybe, but I'd lean more towards the fact that Cassel was horrendous. So was the whole Chiefs team for that matter! I'm not fond of Cassel (you'll see below) but his injury probably did effect his performance and did cut into the amount of time he had with the offense in an already shortened preseason. Too much talent to sit Bowe quite yet, but the Chiefs better come around.
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles – Maclin's health situation forced him to miss the entire preseason so a down week wasn't a shocker. Look for Maclin to be more involved in an explosive Eagle offense going forward.
Owen Daniels, TE, Texans – Don't be overly concerned with Daniels 2 targets and 1 catch in week 1. The Texans started running the clock out in the 3rd quarter in their blowout win over Indy.
Bench: Pretty self explanatory but these are player's I am benching and taking a wait and see approach.
Zach Miller, TE, Seahawks – Could the Seahawks possibly be a worse situation for Miller than the Raiders were? Miller is talented but until Seattle proves they can take advantage of the mismatches he causes by getting him the ball (targeted only 4 times in week 1), he is in the familiar situation of being an unreliable fantasy option due to the talent, or lack there of, around him.
Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks – I could have saved myself some typing and just put "Bench all Seahawks" above. Seriously, O-Line is a joke, Lynch doesn't even have a chance to get going.
Pierre Thomas, RB, Saints– Ingram is the goal-line back and Sproles is the pass catching back. Even in an explosive That really limits Pierre potential every week.
Ryan Grant, RB, Packers – Starks is slowly taking over the Packers backfield and Grant may gradually be phased out of the offense more than he already has been. Starks outnumbered Grant in carries 12-9 in week 1.
Austin Collie, WR, Colts – If the goose egg Collie put up in Week 1 wasn't a strong enough case to bench Collie, Collins total lack of ability to run the Colts offense is. While the Colts will be playing from behind often it is tough to recommend any component of that passing game other than Wayne at this point.
Bargain: Players that have struggled that you should be targeting via trade. DO NOT SELL YOUR PLAYERS LOW!
Mark Ingram, RB, Saints – Game on the line and the Saints trusted Ingram enough to put the game in his hands. Sure he got stuffed, but the play was telegraphed and uncreative. Ingram received more carries than Thomas in week 1 and is the unquestioned goal-line back in an offense that will provide plenty of scoring opportunities.
Lee Evans, WR, Ravens – Evans will have a fantasy impact over the course of this season and you might be able to get him now cheap then stash him on your bench until he is healthy.
Chad Ochocinco, WR, Patriots – While Ocho didn't have much of an impact in the Patriots week 1 aerial assault on the Dolphins, Chad is taking way too much criticism for his debut performance. While some will consider him a bust way too early, he has yet to grasp the Patriots offense. Like Lee Evans mentioned above, he is an acquire and stash candidate at this point but will have an fantasy impact as he is integrated into the Pats offense.

So it's a quickie post today!
When I was in Cape Town for the shooting of the Dinner Divas Show Daniele invited a few friends over for drinks and a light dinner. I really didn't have much time to spare to prepare the usual two course meal and all I could muster, from his sparse cupboards and fridge was a dressed Camembert, a piece of beef fillet to make some Beef Carpaccio which was served with crusty breads, salads and some fabulous wine that I bought at a wine tasting in Kloof Street on a previous visit.
With so many friends popping in for drinks this Christmas, a dressed Camembert can literally be on the table in all its 'gooey' glory in a matter of minutes!

120g slice of pancetta or bacon
100g sliced dried apricot
80g mixed nuts – salted is fine
a frew sprigs of thyme
honey for drizzling

I started a ficus benjamina cutting two years ago. It was from a large, thriving mother plant and the cutting was pencil sized. It's rooted, it's healthy and I've had some leaf growth, but it's never gotten much bigger than the original cutting, even when using fertilizers after the roots were well established. When I re-potted about six months ago, the root system didn't seem very developed and were only located across the original cut. It was my first woody plant propagation and at the time, I had seen stuff on the internet that talked about cutting notches below the nodes on the woody stem that was going to be below the soil level, which would create a more extensive rooting network, which I did not do...I just went with the cut across the stem. I'm curious if I should try to do that now...repot the plant and in the process, cut notches below the nodes to establish additional roots and hopefully get more growth as a result. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your plant is already rooted, I see no reason to start cutting on it. Roots growing from more places is not beneficial. The plant will grow root volume as it needs it, and nicking (the inverse of notching) will not increase root system volume. Only a growing plant is going to make more roots, and a vigorously growing plants will make more roots more quickly. It's hard to say why your plant is not growing vigorously. Moisture levels, amount of light, nutrient availability, and plant genetics will all play a part. If you think the genetic part and the nutrient part are not the issue, maybe review lighting/sun-exposure and watering. Also, maybe your plant is just catching up (readjusting and growing roots) after growing from a cutting. I've had many cutting-grown plants just seem to set for a while and then suddenly take off. |
Thanks, Brandon. I'll be patient and see what happens. It's healthy enough, just not growing. Hopefully it will take off like you mention. |

Encountering a liar at work can cause all kinds of headaches.
Whether it's the guy who comes into the office every Monday with the farfetched stories about his crazy weekend ("I met this model, right …"), the slimy vendor who misleads you into thinking you're getting a deal on office supplies, or the lazy co-worker who constantly seems to be covering up one error or another, liars cause stress, tension and frustration for those around them.
Sometimes — like with your model-magnet colleague — the lies might be annoying, but relatively harmless (it's probably more of a headache to dispute him on the facts than to just let him talk himself up). But other times, like if you think you're being ripped off, or feel a co-worker is trying to cover up a mistake that will directly affect your own work, getting an honest answer is important.
To help you get an accurate read from your BS detector, we talked to Bill Rosenthal, chief executive of Communispond, an East Hampton, N.Y.-based communications coaching firm, about spotting a liar at work. Here's what he had to say.
The Work Buzz: How can tell if someone is lying to you? What verbal/nonverbal cues should you look for?
Bill Rosenthal: Spotting a liar at work requires the same kind of observation that spotting a liar anywhere else does. Look for signs of discomfort, because most people feel guilty about lying. [These signs] can include avoiding eye contact, making excessive eye contact (which liars might do to "prove" they're being honest), being in a hurry to end the conversation, even pointing their feet in the direction of a getaway. Look also to see if the person is being evasive when answering a question, perhaps by feigning inability to remember something that should easily be remembered. Still another sign is the use of suspect data or excessive data when answering a simple question. Of course, a promise that sounds too good to be true probably isn't true.
TWB: What should you do if you think someone is being dishonest?
BR: It's best to keep asking questions that are hard to answer. The liar might back off by reorienting what's being said. Unless you're sure, don't accuse someone of telling a lie. It's possible the person was misinformed about something and is repeating it with good intentions.
TWB: When is it best to just ignore a lie?
BR: Sometimes [the lie] doesn't matter. Telling someone "I caught a huge sailfish" or "I'm a gourmet cook" may not matter at all if it's just small talk that isn't intended to further a cause.
TWB: How can you promote a culture of honesty in the workplace, either as a manager or as an employee?
BR: It isn't enough to have a mission statement saying the organization values integrity; the organization has to live it. Managers can foster honesty by being open with information. If they have bad news to disclose, they should do it quickly and without sugar-coating the situation. They shouldn't hold back on pointing out an employee's weaknesses during review time to avoid hurting feelings; it's a disservice to the employee.
Employees should be honest about errors they made. It's better to admit having a problem than ignoring it because the problem can keep growing. Admitting there's a problem can get the employee the help needed. Also, don't take sole credit for the work of a committee. Give credit where it's due. Don't make promises that are hard to keep.
Do you have a lying colleague? What did you do about it? Let us know in the comments section.
