The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Belgian leading privately-owned newspaper De Standaard
website, on 22 October
[Report by Tine Peeters]
The army is no longer succeeding in keeping young soldiers in service.
Of the 1200 soldiers entering barracks in 2008, only half have stayed
on. The volunteer force is also a flop: only six volunteers have joined
up as career soldiers.
A smaller and younger army - that was the resolution made by Defence
Minister Pieter De Crem (CD & V [Christian Democrat and Flemish]).
Thanks to a drastic reshuffle he managed effectively to make the army
smaller, but the rejuvenation process was not so hunky-dory. Of the
1,175 young people who were recruited to the army in 2008, three years
later only 628 were left. One year later 1,300 service personnel started
their military service, of whom 806 are still there. In 2010 the figures
were even worse. One year after the start of their military career a
quarter of these have left again.
De Crem also started another recruitment channel: Voluntary Military
Service or EVMI, as the official title goes. Of the 155 places being set
up, only 103 were filled. Only one third of recruits are following
training courses, while the rest have moved to real military jobs. A
feeble result, particularly as a separate recruitment service and
special training centres were set up for this volunteer army.
"Very many young people are dropping out because they are brassed off
with having to drive from Gent to Heverlee to go to fitness sessions in
the barracks and then not do anything else," says member of parliament
David Geerts (sp.a [Socialist Party -Other]), who cited the statistics.
"They do days which are far too long for these movements and lose their
social lives. You must be a nutcase to drive from Gent to Leopoldsburg
for a few extra euros."
The volunteers themselves who have dropped out give as the main reason
for leaving the fact that they have found other work or that they have
transferred to the federal police. They also say that there should be
more concrete information over the training that they will receive when
signing on so that they know what they are letting themselves in for.
"Young people are not involved enough in efficient army units and lose
their motivation as a result."
The Defence Ministry denies the system is a flop. De Crem persists with
the view that the high dropout rate is inherent in the system and that
this voluntary military service can be a good bridge to a rewarding
military career. "We knew beforehand that many people would drop out:
volunteers can join for the training, and then just as easily leave. The
thing is that young people can easily decide for themselves within six
months whether the army is something for them."
Voluntary military service is designed for young people up to the age of
26 and lasts for four years. In the first six months the pay is seven
euros a day while still keeping unemployment and child benefit. After
that the volunteer gets the normal rate of pay for service personnel in
the same category. The sp.a intends to review the whole system because
it is costing too much and yielding too little benefit.

Sushiko II - Chevy Chase
5455 Wisconsin Ave.
Chevy Chase, MD 20815
Neighborhood: Tenleytown/Friendship Heights, Chevy Chase
Cuisines: Sushi, Japanese
Opening Hours:
Open for lunch daily 12 to 3, Monday through Wednesday kitchen closes until dinner 5:30 to 10, Thursday through Friday kitchen reopens 5:30-10:30. Saturday through Sunday open 12 to 10:30.
Wheelchair Accessible: Yes
Nearby Metro Stops: Friendship Heights
Price Range: Moderate
Dress: Informal
Noise Level: Chatty
Reservations: Recommended
Website: http://www.sushiko.us
Best Dishes:
Spot-prawn nigiri; scallop sashimi; sashimi or nigiri of salmon, yellowtail, yellowtail belly, and mackerel; soft-shell crab; salmon teriyaki.
Price Details:
Main dishes $15 to $22, Sushi $4 to $11
Special Features: Wheelchair Accessible, Kid Friendly
Cuisine: From sushi and sashimi to rarely found Japanese tidbits and fusion plates, owner Daisuke Utagawa and head chef Koji Terano offer one of the more far-reaching Japanese menus in the area. Utagawa, who travels the world for inspiration, is the force behind the restaurant's unconventional pairing of Japanese food and Burgundy wines.
Mood: The industrial wood-and-metal façade gives way to a serene bilevel interior with a modern sensibility. The look is sometimes at odds with the service, which can be harried when the place fills up with neighborhood folk and destination diners in pursuit of some of the best sushi in town.
Best for: Raw-fish purists.
Best dishes: Warm baby spinach with roasted mushroom; rock shrimp and asparagus tempura; crunchy eel handrolls; robata (little skewered items) of beef tenderloin with seven-spice powder and daikon; any of the sushi and sashimi platters, which are both beautiful and bountiful; a panna cotta with shaved almonds and espresso bean that amounts to a light, ethereal tiramisu.
Insider tips: For the most pristine seafood, the omakase menu (starting at $60) is the way to go. This "chef's choice" lineup might offer morsels such as flounder carpaccio with fried carrot noodles and truffle vinaigrette or salmon with salmon roe and red onion, plus a plate of sushi including high-grade, buttery toro. Recent meals have been a tad below the usual level, perhaps because Utagawa has been preoccupied with opening a second Sushi-Ko in Friendship Heights this month.

Whiplash is a platformer video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox where a long-tailed weasel chained to a rabbit must work together to escape from a product testing corporation known as Genron and putting the fat boss out of commission. The game is a basic platformer, with Spanx (the weasel) as the main character, and Redmond (the rabbit) as more of a tool.[2]
Whiplash was given varied reviews, but averaged 69% on the PlayStation 2 and 70% on the Xbox. The game was featured on the cover of Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine. There was also some controversy over the game with animal cruelty.
There are two lesser objectives in the game as well as the main one of escaping:
1) Free other animals using the character's abilities with the chain; The animals tend to also help by attacking humans in the vicinity when freed.
2) Damage and break as much equipment and objects as possible, doing so increases the expense to the company causing them to lose money until they are left with nothing.
Although Redmond (the rabbit) and Spanx (the weasel) are two animals chained together, the gameplay is much like any other platformer. The player controls only Spanx, using Redmond as a weapon or tool as the situation requires. Spanx has most standard plat forming abilities, while Redmond is completely indestructible as a result of tests conducted upon him and so can be hurled into security guards, jammed into machinery, and used as a grappling hook, among other uses. Redmond can be inserted into special outlets to be set on fire, frozen, or become radioactive.
One unique aspect of the game is that many objects through the levels are breakable and are assigned a dollar amount which is tracked by the game; by completing the game with more than $6 million in damage, special content can be unlocked.
Defeating the humans through the levels released special snacks that the team can eat to increase both animals' levels, which increases Spanx' health or Redmond's rage. The player is also rewarded for freeing other animals trapped and caged by the company.
This section requires expansion. (September 2010) |
The music for Whiplash was composed by Kurt Harland of Information Society. The music features a unique interactivity scheme: It responds to player input on the controller; the more input received through the controller buttons, the more the music does. The music also expands in response to successful hits of breakable objects and enemies.

GameRankings | 69.65[4] (37 reviews) |
Gamespot | 6.4/10 [6] (47 reviews) |
Gamespy | 2/5[7] |
Whiplash was released to mixed reviews. Game Informer gave Whiplash a 4 out of 10, saying "It's simply so boring..."[8] My Gamer 7 out of 10,[9] as did IGN. IGN commented, "I'd recommend renting this game and bringing it back as soon as it gets old."[10] GamePro gave Whiplash a 4.5 out of 5 and added "Whiplash really is a hell of a game. With a little more polish before release, this game could have been a true masterpiece."[11] Spanx, who had previously been featured as a racer in Mad Dash Racing was cited by Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine as an underrated spin-off character in comparison to Tekken's Nina Williams, stating "...dig deeper and you'll find that Spanx is in the unusual position of actually being funny. Kinda rare for a game character."[12]
Before the game was released in the United Kingdom, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the Research Defence Society, the chairman of the British House of Commons and the Police Federation of England and Wales were deeply shocked at the level of cartoonish cruelty in animal product testing, despite the whole premise of the game as being against this. They thought it condoned violence and made a joke of animal suffering, however Eidos claimed that it would raise positive awareness among children with this issue.

Businesses use
poems to market
RANDOLPH More than 50 shops in Randolph are featuring poems among spring sale advertisements on their windows this month.
The idea was inspired by a similar effort called PoemCity in Montpelier, said event organizer and Democratic Rep. Marjorie Ryerson of Randolph.
I really wanted to open the door on poetry as a topic and have everybody enjoy it and be less afraid of it, she told Vermont Public Radio.
When shes not working in the Legislature, Ryerson teaches poetry.
Shannon Stoddard of Sidewalk Florist felt the promotion was a boon for businesses.
Anything to get people to stop and look in your window and stand at your window and interact with your storefront, even if its reading somebody elses poetry is good enough, Stoddard said.
Larry Hart of the local NAPA store said some passers-by have stopped to read the poems in his window, although others just want an oil change. But Hart thinks the event spotlights local talent.
Theres a lot of creativity in this town, Hart said. Its an honor to have them out there.
The poems in PoemTown are written mostly by residents in central Vermont and will be featured throughout the month. There also will be a series of events by published poets and an open mic night at which any Vermont poets may read their work.
On Thursday, award-winning poets Pamela Harrison of Norwich and Samn Stockwell of Marshfield will be at Main Street Bakery in Randolph at 7 p.m. The open mic night will be at White River Craft Center on April 15 from 6 to 9 p.m.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe sugar tax is back.

Comfort and breakfast.
I had three suitcases and they were hard to carry up to my room by myself.
My wife and I visit family in Norway every year. We always stay at the Best Western by the airport the night before departure. Everyone spoke English and the hotel is top notch.
Very close to the airport, friendly staff, comfortable room and bed. Nice warm temperature, powerful shower. Free wi-fi. Decent sized room.
Extortionate 70nok fee for a 1-way 5-minute shuttle trip to the airport. This is the only thing that would put us off staying again as this added to the overall price of staying by 280 nok. No glasses/cups in the room, although the bar gave me some when I asked. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room, although I was told when asked, that there was access to a machine in the lobby 24hours a day and I think this was free. The juice at breakfast was watered down and some of the crockery wasn't properly cleaned.
location was OK, wifi good, good to have restaurant on site.
the room was set up for one and there were two of us. one towel, no kettle. Rang for these, were told they would be delivered. They weren't. In the end I had to go and get them.
- Location back side of the airport connecting with paid shuttle bus - Breakfast Ok - Free Parking - Internet OK
Close to the airport, relatively inexpensive shuttle which runs frequently. Norwegians are generally very friendly people. Don't forget to stock up at duty free, it's expensive to drink in Norway!
Breakfast was absolutely delicious!!! Lots of variety!!!Beds very comfortable and room was very quiet!
Shower is excellent.
Bett. I booked a single room but they offered me a twin room with very small beds... I could not sleep at all!!
Breakfast buffet Clean common areas Convenient, free parking Very convenient to airport and airport train station to get into Oslo Sentrum Ala carte dining very nice
Rooms were warm. Duvets were warmer! Needed just a top sheet on beds to be comfortable. Wish I had requested a room with more than a shower. At check in, clerk did not want to give us two room keys. WiFi would bog during evening hours. A little noisy at times depending on which runway was in use.
Close to airport Decent breakfast Dinner a hit and miss (1 good/decent, 1 poor). Room cozy Staff friendly
Nothing in surrounding area No lunch services Not a par with BW in other capitals 1 Soap dispenser for showing
I had a very early-morning flight the next day, so it was great to be so close to the airport. Very quiet hotel, in spite of being so close to the runway. I was too early for the full breakfast, but the early breakfast was also impressive.
There's a fee for the airport shuttle.
Staff were great.
Room dirty and too hot, wifi kept dropping out. Bed uncomfortable. No English language news channel on tv.
Good bus service door to doot 140 nok return, service staff food excellent
Super breakfast buffet!
Shuttle bus is extremely expensive.
very quiet. Couldn't hear the airport traffic at all.
Bed was too soft for my liking.
The bus directly picking me up from the airport and then dropping me off directly in front of the Best Western Oslo Airport Hotel. (The bus driver was really considerate of foreign travelers)
Unfortunately I had a very early flight and the "big" breakfast didn't start until 6am and my flight was at 6:30am so I had to leave earlier, although they did still have breakfast options for the early travel flights
Good location, breakfast is ok
Shuttle bus stopped after 12am. Unfortunately our flight was late and missed the last shuttle bus. Taxi to hotel is around 350NOK.
They let me post some clothes for my Arctic cruise and held till my arrival Comfortable room
Restaurant was full so had to wait over an hour to have a table for dinner
Good food, good,helpful service at front desk,nice lobby,coffee,tea available at all times. Super breakfast buffet! Everything was very clean,lots of towels.
Instead of one bed there were three!! small beds in room. Also,and this was not their fault,everything was very expensive compared to US prices. View out of window was of brick wall.
Position close to airport
Booked a double, got a twin. Later changed. Shower head in the ensuite was destroyed. No shuttle bus late in the evening.
Out of the way relying on public transport from and into airport. Selling themselves as being at the airport. No transport after 11:00 pm so pay through the roof for a taxi that charges just over 40 pounds to drive u the 1-2 miles from airport to hotel
Overprice tiny rooms with military style toilets. Just function no style nor taste. Box rooms for the price of luxury hotels anywhere else. Certianly would not recommend them to anyone looking for luxury and confort. More for trackers than family and business.
A small and nice hotel. Great surroundings. Close to the woods, and a cultural museum. No noise from the airport. Great staff, cozy restaurant and reception. Greatly recommended!
Nothing negative

hello all... just when i thought my african daisies were doing well, they have started wilting on me! they bloomed quite well after planting it into the ground, but now, 3 months later, the leaves are starting to wilt. could this be due to too much water? i recently got my sprinkler system fixed, and they've been getting about 15 mins of water at 6am every morning. they're in a full sun area, so the ground should have enough time to dry out a bit from the bath... any help or advice that you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Which sort of African daisies are you growing? Gazanias? Arctotis? Osteospermum? Gerberas? Something completely different? A clue for the 'Sherlocks', please. |
i just finally came across this response to my post last year... the african daisies i had were osteospermum. if you could help, that'd be great... i ended up digging out the old one and the same thing seems to be happening to the new batch that i planted :( |
If they've been in the ground for 3 months and you're watering every day, I suspect they're getting too much water. Try watering once a week. wanda |
I don't have a sprinkler system - put me in the hose haulers category. But, my reading and experience is that less frequent, longer/deeper watering is more beneficial to plants, causing their roots to grow deeper. Watering for only 15 minutes seems awfully short a time to me. Maybe it's OK for annuals, but grass, shrubs & perennials like a deeper watering. |

I planted 3 Osteospermum hybrid " Sunny Dark Amanda" African Daisies in a big pot spaced 6 inches apart in full sunlight. I live in Texas and it is hot and dry. I have been watering once a week and every 3rd week giving them a little Miracle Grow. The foliage looks great but they will not bloom! What am I doing wrong?! Thanks so much! The rest of my flowers look fab. |
earthmama76, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong, in fact, it sounds like you're doing everything right, as evidenced by the healthy look of the foliage. These plants need cooler night temperatures to initiate flower buds. Even up here in Michigan, where our summers can be quite cool some years, these plants pretty much refuse to bloom during July and August, perhaps a flower or two, but mostly leaves. Then, when it cools off, they put on a nice show for September and keep going until hard freezes kill them in November. In Texas, they probably won't start to bloom again until October, but could go well into or even through the entire winter depending upon where you are and how cold it gets, I suspect in the very mildest parts of Texas, unless there is an abnormal freeze, these probably overwinter. |

Well, blow some cocaine up my ass, and call it Christmas!!! Fleetwood Mac are announcing their 2013 tour today—and are playing the Tacoma Dome on Monday, May 20th. Tickets go on sale Monday, December 17th at 10 a.m.
From Live Nation:
The current Fleetwood Mac lineup includes Mick Fleetwood and John McVie – both original members since 1967, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks who joined the band in 1975.
"Having started Fleetwood Mac with John McVie in 1967, it has always been so gratifying that despite the various incarnations, the band has survived. Throughout the years, though, the one thing that has remained constant is our fans. I am looking forward to getting back behind the kit, reconnecting with the fans and sharing the stage with my fellow band members," commented Mick Fleetwood.
"After spending four days at Lindsey's house working on music and one really fun day doing a crazy photo session, I am quite excited about next year. Everything seems to be falling into place. 2013 looks like the 'year of Fleetwood Mac,'" commented Stevie Nicks.
For additional ticket and tour information, visit: LiveNation.com and FleetwoodMac.com.

By Brian Ardinger
When I was asked this morning to write about the influence of Steve Jobs, my first thoughts were that no words could really do justice to his overarching influence. Every bit of technology from kiosks, to digital signage to mobile has some of his fabric woven into it. From popularizing the graphical user interface to the latest Siri personal assistant technology, Steve has led the charge to make technology more personal, more powerful and more human.
I, like many of those I've talked to in this industry, are here because of Steve Jobs and his influence. He got us excited about technology. He gave us the tools to build businesses. He made us say, " WOW" over and over again.
Think Different
When I was working at Gartner living in Silicon Valley, I had the opportunity to go to Steve's introduction of the original iMac. Apple was dying, and the invite wasn't too hard to come by. I didn't know it at the time, but I had the opportunity to witness the rebirth of Apple firsthand and the power of design, technology and experience that would touch lives for generations to come. What struck me, though, was the power of Think Different to change the world; to fear less and differentiate more -- to be bold and to lead.
We've seen this Think Different influence in our industry in the explosion of new companies and ventures focused on creating new ways to engage and interact with consumers. From self-service checkout stations that speed service to interactive digital signage that make it easier for consumers to get the information they need, Steve's influence is there. Even Apple's move into retail itself has redefined the shopping experience and what "good retail" is all about and the industry has followed.
Get rid of the crap
My daughter was born a week before the launch of the first iPhone. My gracious wife allowed me to go stand in line to be one of the first to get one. By two years old my daughter could use the iPhone to navigate through photos, play games and even talk to Grandpa - all by herself. She thought TVs should work the same way and would swipe the screen to change the channel. That was the genius of Steve - to boil down the experience to its simple, most intuitive essence - to make the technology itself melt away and leave you with the results you wanted. He got rid of the crap and left us with something that even a two-year-old could use.
In the world of digital screenmedia, Steve's influence has helped us focus on new ways to streamline transactions, build easier ways to find information in-store, and eliminate waste by leveraging technologies for customers and employees. The industry has improved and evolved in everything from content design to ease of installation and technology integration.
Dream big
When I think of Steve's influence I think not about the technology, but about the culture and experiences that those technologies enable people to create. He gave us the vision to dream and the tools to create. He challenged us to dream big and gave us the means to make it happen.
More than anything else, Steve's influence has raised the bar for what a good customer experience should be. We in the industry are taking heed and moving this vision forward.
Steve, you will be missed, but know that your seeds you planted will continue to grow and that your influence will not go unnoticed.

Secure storage with GlusterFS
Other Cool GlusterFS Tricks
Because you can add and remove storage bricks from a volume, you can add entirely new servers and remove existing servers. Thus, you can remove dying hardware from your storage pool with minimal interruptions. Because the back-end data storage is simply a filesystem like XFS or ext4, and the metadata is contained within the files, you can easily back up your GlusterFS data on the storage servers. You also can monitor the contents of files easily by, for example, scanning for viruses or rootkits without having to depend on the clients mounting and using the data.
GlusterFS can also provide data storage to OpenStack Swift, Glance, and Cinder clients, and it can provide Hadoop HDFS storage, among other capabilities. Because GlusterFS uses a plugin architecture, in the longer term, it will be possible for more capabilities to be added and for GlusterFS to be extended – for example, by adding file encryption or multitenancy support per volume.
The future of storage on Linux is bright. Several solutions (e.g., GlusterFS, Ceph) that are under very active development allow you to create distributed, replicated, and high-performance storage systems with the use of cheap hardware. If you aren't already using these, I suggest you investigate them. Not having to worry about disk or server failure bringing down your storage back end is a good thing indeed.

You may have noticed that nearly all of the exciting hard drives in the last year have been 2.5 inch drives. The 2.5 inch standard has long dominated the notebook market and is quickly starting to take over the enterprise server market. When Western Digital released the VelociRaptor analysts took notice as it marked the 2.5" invasion into desktop systems. Here we are a year later and solid state drives are all the rage. I know several enthusiasts that are using SSDs in their full towers, most of them with multiple drives in either RAID 0 or RAID 5.
Other than rack mounted servers I have yet to see a desktop system come with an efficient 2.5" mounting system for these drives. Several companies make adapters but most were designed to fit a floppy disk drive into a 5.25" CDROM bay. Vizo has noticed this same issue and decided to do something about it.
The Vizo Ares II is a dual 2.5" SATA drive system that will allow you to install two "notebook" style drives into a standard 3.5" floppy drive bay. The system is a little smaller than a traditional desktop hard drive but it does have the same screw locations, so if it really came down to it you could use the Ares II in your traditional HDD bay. Let's get a closer look.

So Google Calendar has this new thing where it automatically adds events you receive via Gmail to your calendar, like plane or train tickets or whatever. (It's fucken horrible that they turned this new fucken thing on automatically, and make you opt out by going to your Google Calendar settings, but whatever.) When it added the first event to my Google Calendar, it also sent me an automated notification e-mail that it was doing so, and included a link to the help page describing this new function.
And Gmail sent the goddamn automated e-mail from Google to fucken SPAM:
Why is this message in Spam? It contains content that's typically used in spam messages.
You'd think Gmail's spam filters would recognize official automated e-mails sent by Google itself as not spam.

1.5 pounds shrimp in the shell
500g package premade gnocchi (yeah, premade: fucke you)
half cup diced onion
olive oil
half cup dry white wine
crushed red pepper flakes
fresh-ground black pepper
chopped tarragon
quarter cup heavy cream
teaspoon or so corn starch
Shell and clean the shrimp, reserving the shells.
Premade gnocchi.
Start the shells simmering in water while you do the rest.
Sautee the shrimp until they are just barely cooked through, remove from the pan, and reserve.
Throw in the diced onions and some black and red pepper, and sautee until the onions are turning translucent but are not caramelizing.
Turn up the heat and deglaze with the wine.
When the alcohol is reduced away, strain in the shrimp broth and continue to simmer.
When it's reduced down a bit, salt to taste, add the cream, and continue to simmer.
Throw in some tarragon while it simmers.
Throw the gnocchi in boiling salted water, and as soon as they float to the top, they're done. This takes just a couple minutes.
While the gnocchi are boiling, throw the shrimp into the sauce, and add a little corn starch to thicken, if desired. Fish the gnocchi out of the boiling water with a strainer dealiebobber, add to the sauce, and finish briefly with gentle mixing. (Don't strain the gnocchi by dumping them into a colander, as they will stick together.)

So, I have a mentor who has done a lot for me, and has taught me most of what I know about Musicke, who asked me to play in a special Concerte he is running. I agreed to play in the Concerte months ago, and I know it is a very important Thinge to him for his people to see/meet his Protegee after all these years. Meanwhile, recently, my grandma has asked me to go to a different Concert with her, and is trying to guilt me into it on the grounds that it is a special (and sad) anniversary for her. She is getting angry at me, and getting sad at me, and I would go with her, but for the thing which I have already agreed to do. I also do not enjoy her standard method of emotional manipulation. I do not want to go back on my word. Who do I lette downe?
You tell your grandma that it's unfortunate that you won't be able to attend the concert with her, but you have a previous professional committment that can't be altered. And that's the end of the discussion. If she keeps hectoring you, just keep repeating the same thing over and over. Eventually she'll peter out, and over longer periods of time, she might even learn that when you decline an invitation, it's not up for discussion.
Good luck at your concert!
Getting kneed in the fucken balls by some middle-aged Walter Mitty goon flying towards you at 25 mph thinking about how much he hates his boss.
Our correspondent asks:
Ok… In my freezer I have 4 kinds of homemade stock–beef, chicken, duck, and lobster. Currently, they are all slated to be wonderful risotto at some point, thanks to your recipes.
If my non-tenure-track-job depended on me cooking the right thing for the department chair, and possibly a dean, should I go with risotto? If so, what kind? Nothing poisonous, mind you… Or should I cook it for the union rep? Or what?
Here's what I would do. Use the lobster stock to make a very simple risotto with nothing in the sofritto but some shallots, adding a little bit of saffron when you deglaze with the wine (or use vermouth instead of white wine to make it even richer). Finish it with a modest amount of parmigiano reggiano.
Also make pan-seared scallops like this.
When everything is ready, plate the risotto in a wide shallow pasta bowl, arrange three or four scallops around the edge, serve it. And then at the table, drizzle a little teeny bit of cognac (or other sherry) on the risotto.

Built on the proven architecture of RSA NetWitness technology, RSA Security Analytics fuses SIEM, Network Forensics, and Big Data analytics into a security platform that will be the cornerstone of next generation security operations centers.
Any intelligence-driven security program must begin with a comprehensive understanding of risk facing the organization. Current security technologies, including SIEM tools, often fall short in this area; they cannot provided deep enough visibility into today's threats and often cannot scale to today's analytic needs.
By providing security professionals with the visibility to see and understand vulnerabilities and attacks, RSA Security Analytics is engineered to enable the discovery of risks as they occur, thus significantly cutting the time required for investigations from days to minutes. Furthermore, by helping security professionals understand digital risks originating from both inside and outside their enterprise, organizations can better defend business assets, including intellectual property and other sensitive data, while reducing the time and cost associated with threat management and compliance-focused reporting.
The RSA Security Analytics Unified Platform is designed to deliver:
• Quick Capture and Analysis — Security-relevant data, including full network packets, logs, and threat intelligence, are captured and quickly analyzed to speed up the detection of potential threats.
• High Powered Analytics – Enables much larger-scale collection of data and empowers new analysis methods over that of traditional SIEM-based approaches to security. Integrated Threat Intelligence – Helps organizations operationalize the use of threat intelligence feeds to accelerate detection and investigations of potential attack tools and techniques targeting the enterprise.
• Context for Threats – Through integrations with the RSA Archer GRC platform and RSA Data Loss Prevention (DLP) suite, and by fusing data produced by other products, analysts can use business context to prioritize and allocate resources to the threats which pose the greatest risk.
• Malware Identification – Using a variety of investigative techniques, the solution identifies a much wider range of malware-based attacks.
• Automates Compliance Reporting – Helps enable compliance as an outcome of good security practices.
The integration of proven Big Data platforms and analytic methods into security tools provides a significant advancement to how security is performed. As built, the RSA Security Analytics platform brings together unparalleled visibility, leverages Big Data platforms and advanced analytic methods capable of identifying high risk activities, advanced threat mitigation and meeting compliance objectives.
Jon Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, "The sophistication of advanced attacks and the associated malware is growing every day testing the limitations of existing security analytics tools. The Big Data phenomenon could help address this situation for security professionals making it important for organizations to rethink their choice of security solutions. Marrying intelligence-driven security with Big Data analytics has the potential to help enterprises address the complex problem of advanced threats and thus meet a significant need in the marketplace."
Ahmed Abdella, Regional Manager, Turkey, Emerging Africa, and Middle East at RSA, The Security Division of EMC, "In the face of constantly evolving and increasingly intelligent security threats, enterprises need to arm themselves with agile security technologies to defend themselves. RSA Security Analytics is designed to revolutionize the traditional security practices such as monitoring and threat detection to detect threats missed by traditional, signature based security tools reducing the time and cost associated with investigation and response. RSA Security Analytics is the cornerstone of RSA's intelligence-driven strategy that combines a host of leading existing technologies such as network security monitoring, log-oriented SIEM, malware analytics, forensics, compliance reporting, with Big Data management and analytics, to better address the security needs of organizations."
RSA Security Analytics is now available worldwide.

Hey all, about 20 minutes ago I was checking on the maters and found 1 hornworm with white things on it. I didn't hesitate and I cut the whole branch off. I know this is a topic posted several times, but this is a dire need of time for first precautions on what I should do when I go back out this evening. I took several photos under and over the leaves and will double check. Thanks All. - Mr Beno |
Follow-Up Postings:
There was no need to do anything to that one much less cut off the whole branch. He is already dying and just doesn't know it yet. Plus if you had let those wasps survive to hatch they would have been very helpful eliminating any others you might have. So what should you do next time? Leave any that look like this alone. If you find any without the egg cases on them just pick them off and stomp on them. If you can't make yourself touch them, snip them in half with scissors or pruners. But leave the plant stems/branches alone. Otherwise, like all the other posts about them advise, pick up some Bt dust (Dipel) and dust the plants. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hornworm discussions
I just relocate them away from the garden. I prefer not to kill bugs if another solution works. So far moving them to another area of our property is working fine. Google hornworms and sphinx moths. You'll find info about tomato vs tobacco hornworms and how the tobacco ones turn into cool moths. |
- Posted by thebutcher 6b (Philadelphia are (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 17:18
Thanks again Dave and Thanks itzi, What I did prior was that I cut off the whole brange put him in a clear plastic chinese soup container and poked wholes on the lid. however the downside about wasps is that I am highly allergic.. But I will save the tomato plants even if I get stung. -Mr Beno |
Parasitic wasps are quite small and I don't think they would sting you. You might want to check for more caterpillars on your tomato plants though..... Linda |
- Posted by thebutcher 6b (Philadelphia are (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 17:37
Thanks Linda, I saved them in that jar and once hatch I will release them. In the mean time I am breaking out my GoPro video camera and gona inspect every inch of the 12+ plants. It is probably a good thing to do because It is attached to a pole and I can get a view of everything in HD. The neighbors will think I am nuts though. Thanks again everyone. |
I never kill a hornworm, as it morphs into a beautiful moth...just relocate it. I did one last night. |

- Posted by thebutcher 6b (Philadelphia are (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 16:43
Thanks again all, I checked today and will again this evening, so far so good. Here is the video that I took, I think it is cool because you can really check out your tomatoes inside and out for anything. Plus I have so much fun making the videos and playing music to it. PS it is long and probably pointless but if you are board then watch it :) EDIT: also to note, you can slow the speed down with youtube so when you film your maters. It comes in handy when a picture does not do. Just get a HD camera with at least 60 FPS. |

I definately would have just picked the worm off using tweezers if you are squeemish about touching them. They just look intimidating though. I believe in the circle of life so I feed them to the birds by throwing them in a clear area. Problem solved for me. I have attached a link for another resource for gardening problems. Good luck to you!! |

I too, found a couple of hornworms on one of my tomato plants yesterday. One was already impregnated by numerous wasp larvae so I left it there to feed the young ones. The other I plucked off and put on my bird feeder but the little finches and sparrows were afraid of it. I then brought it to the front of my house. Laid it on the side walk and almost immediately, a couple of robins were fighting over it, jostling as to who found it first. Went in to show my kids but the sparring birds and juicy victim were gone when we returned. All part of the circle of life. Keep searching, those beggers are the masters of camoflage. |
Yuck! That site wouldn't come up for me. All I got were ADVERTS!!!!! ""Here is a link that might be useful: Help getting rid of garden pests fast and easy"" Linda |
No one tells me to be kind to hornworms. I have experienced the damage they do. When I find them, I grab the scissors and go to work. Sometimes I cut the head off, sometimes I cut the tail off. When I feel mean, I slice them in half lengthwise. I have lost a lot to these things. |
- Posted by michelliot z7 ny (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 19:05
yeah, I have to admit it was quite satisfying seeing those robins pecking away at the intruder |
- Posted by thebutcher 6b (Philadelphia are (My Page) on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 16:56
For a follow up, I took photos on July 16th, and noticed this on my Rutger's Ramapo F-1, a friendly Wasp or Bee taking control. I just got back from a business trip and looking over the photos. Even though I am allergic, I guess they are my friends now. |

June 17 Wonder to Alaska
Hello everyone! I'm new to the DIS boards, but not to DCL. This will be my family's third cruise and I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some other people on board. :)
Traveling on this trip will be DH, myself, Evelyn (8), and Gavin (3). :) Kandie |
I have added your thread to the cruise meet list :thumbsup2
Have a great cruise! |
Hi Kandie
We are going to be on this cruise as well :) It's just me and my DH, we are so looking forward to it! It's our third cruise as well (all Disney) Good to have someone to count down the days with :) |
Hi eveyone!!!!!! This will also be our third Disney cruise. :-) It will be my dd (9/10 when we cruise) and me. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Lisa |
Nice to meet you :flower3: Seems like ages until our cruise so it's great to have people to count down with :goodvibes It's our third cruise as well Roll on June 2013 :thumbsup2 Linda |
Hi Ladies! I'm so excited to meet some people to count down the days with. :cheer2:
My room steward told me about DIS boards, and I can't believe that I haven't found this place before...it's amazing! Where have your last cruises been? Our first Disney cruise (and first cruise EVER) was October 2011 to the Mexican Riviera and we just got back a couple weeks ago from our California Coast cruise. pirate: Both of our cruises have been out of the Port of LA, which is only about 30 minutes from my house. It made for a really easy and stress-free vacation, especially with a baby. Our next cruise is going to be the first time I've had to fly into town before we ship off...and I'm a little nervous. :scared: Any tips would be super appreciated! :grouphug: Blessings, Kandie |
We have done a three day on the Dream (Nassau and Castaway Cay) just to see if we liked cruising - we did !! Whilst on board we re-booked a 7 night Western of the Fantasy - wow what a ship :woohoo: This will be our third cruise and it's obviously very different to our other two We've never been to Canada so we are really excited to see Vancouver and as soon as I back from my next trip (San Fran & Disneyland next week :cool1:) I am going to start some serious planning :hyper: Do you think you will do many excursions? - there are so many that sound great |
Our first Disney Cruise
This will be our first Disney Cruise. There will be Myself, DH and DD who will be 11 at the time of the cruise. We are looking forward to it.:)
You are going to love cruising with Disney |
We are looking forward to it. DD is excited because she will be able to find kids her own age. We did a Norwegian to Hawaii with family and she did not like the kids club that they had. Although she and my nephew were the only ones in the family to meet the Captain.
Joining as well! I'm Erica, I'll be sailing with a big crew. DH is Lionel, DD Isabelle will be 3 1/2 when we sail. We are going with two other couples with a toddler each (one is Izzy's best pal), plus my parents. Should be a hoot!
I started a PTR here - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2991753 - like many on the DIS I am a crazy type A planner so I need somewhere to "get out the crazy" so my friends and family won't have me committed. ;) We've done several cruises with Disney, pretty much evey year since 2005. This will be Lionel's 10th, my 9th (once I was too pregnant to sail and a friend of ours was getting married....so my husband LEFT ME AT HOME to go on a cruise. Isn't that awful? lol) and Isabelle's 4th. We live in Central Florida so we usually sail from Port Canaveral, but we did do Alaska from Vancouver with DCL in 2011. Can't wait! Feel free to top by the PTR, or ask anything you want since I've done the itenerary before. I can't answer everything, but I will do my best! |
I am sure I will have a million questions for you seeing as you have done this itinerary before :thumbsup2 |
Alaska here we come!
Hello! We are super excited to explore Alaska via a Disney cruise! This will be our second Disney cruise; our first was in January 2012 via the Dream on a 4 night Bahama cruise. My husband I have 3 kids; 2 boys ages 13 and 10 and 1 girl who is 5. We will also be traveling with my husband's mom and her husband, who we love traveling with! We have three inside cabins booked for our group, which took some convincing for me. However, I would much rather do it this coming year than save another year for a room with a verandah.
We are coming from Iowa and will be flying from Kansas City to Seattle, then probably renting a minivan to take into Vancouver. We don't have hotel arrangements yet for Vancouver or Seattle. We will not be doing a fish extender exchange this time. The one we did on our last cruise was pretty lame and so we'll skip it this time. I'm not sure if we'll participate in a meet, but we are interested in chatting on here before the trip. There are so many decisions to make before the time! Excursions, hotels before and after, etc. So much planning!!! It's fun, but I must admit, it does kind of stress me out! So happy to see everyone on here and hope to chat with everyone soon about planning! -Kelly |
Great to have you on-board! I spent the weekend having a look at some of the excursions that are available - wow, there's a lot! I think I've narrowed it down to about 20! How long is this cruise !?! :rotfl: |
I spent weeks scouring the excursions....my husband was like, "what are you doing? We've done this before!" For the record, it's still just as overwhelming the second time, if not more so! :rotfl2:
I'm working on a "picking the excursions" update for the TR, I'll let you know when it's up. Not that it will help anyone else decide, but at least you'll know you're not alone :thumbsup2 |
