WELL DRILLING APPARATUS Filed NOV. l2, 1.963
United States Patent O 3,260,318 WELL DRILLING APPARATUS William J. Neilson, Whittier, Erskine P. Garrison, Long Beach, and Gayle D. Smith, Norwalk, Calif., assignors to Smith Industries International, Inc., Compton, Calif., a corporation of California Filed Nov. 12, 1963, Ser. No. 322,596 1 Claim. (Cl. 175-75) This invention relates to improvements in well drilling apparatus.
Heretofore it has Abeen recognized that a number of advantages can be gained in drilling Wells by employing a stationary drill pipe or drill string which has attached at its lower end a down hole motor the rotor of which is connected to and rotates a rotary bit. In such an apparatus -a iiuid, usually a relatively incompressible liquid, is .forced down the stationary drill pipe or drill string and on passing through the fluid-operated motor causes the rotor thereof to rotate the drilling bit. The drill string is held or suspended in such a manner that it does not rotate and therefore may be regarded as being stationary. However, it is lowered in the Well as drilling proceeds.
The forces required to rotate the rotary bit at the tbottom of the string yare such that in the usual situation the fluid-operated motor must be quite lengthy. An apparatus of lthis general character is very advantageous in directional drilling in which case the practice heretofore has been to position a bent sub between the top of the fluid-operated motor and the `axis of rotation of the bit to the axis of the dril-l pipe. However, due to the length of the motor required and other structure connecting the rotor of the motor to the bit, the spacing of the bent sub from the bit is excessive. Frequently this distance amounts .to approximately 22 feet or frnore which is objectionable due to the fact that it is difficult to position and to maintain the orientation of the bit in relation to the axis of the drill pipe. These objections in directional drilling can be largely overcome if the bent sub could be located closer tothe bit.
The preferred type of Huid-operated. motor which we employ is a Moyn-o pump which when it has circulation iluid forced therethrough functions as a fluid-operated lmotor. The rotor of such -a pump has its lower end gyrating about the axis of its stator so that some form of universal joint or flexible connection must be employed in establishing and maintaining a driving connection 'between the rotor and the bit which rotates about a stationary axis. As ia clearance must exist between this universal joint or flexible connection and the walls of the surrounding housing to accommodate the flexibility of movement, we take advantage of this by bending the surrounding housing for directional drilling. In this manner, by angularly relating the axis of rotation of the bit to not only the axis of the drill string but also the axis of the Huid-operated motor attached thereto, we in effect locate the bent sub much closer to the bit than in the situation where the bent sub is located between the top of the fluid-operated motor and the drill string. Control of the bit and its orientation are consequently more easily obtained and maintained.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will be made manifest in the following detailed description and specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference is had to the accompanying drawings for an illustrative embodiment of the invention, wherein:
FIGURE l is a view in side elevation of the apparatus embodying the present invention, the same Ibeing shown in a well being drilled thereby.
FIG. 2 is a partial view in vertical section.
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout, the apparatus embodying the present invention con- 3,260,318 Patented July 12, 1966 sists of a drill pipe or drill string 10 which is stationary in the sense that it does not rotate as is the case with conventional drill pipe in a conventional rotary well drilling apparatus. This drill string leads to the top of a fluidoperated motor generally indicated at 12 consisting generally -of a stator 13 within which there is rotatable or gyratable a rotor 14. The fluid-operated motor which we employ is of the positive displacement type and preferably consists of a Moyno pump which, on having fluid such as well drilling fluid forced therethrough from the drill pipe 10, will cause the rotor 14 to rotate or gyrate with su'licient power to rotate the well drilling bit. The well drilling bit is illustrated at 15 and may be of any preferred or conventional design. This bit is rigidly connected to a rotary shaft or mandrel 16 rotatable within a bearing 17 in an outer -housing or drill collar 18. Suitable thrust bearings indicated at 19 and 19A may be employed as indicated to carry the various thrust loads that may be involved. The upper end of the shaft or mandrel 16 is provided with ports 21 through which liquid that is discharged through the stator 13 to drive the rotor 14 may enter the hollow mandrel or shaft 16 and on passing therethrough be discharged at the -bit for the purpose of lubricating t-he cutters thereof and flushing out well cuttings.
As Ithe lower end of the rotor 14 of the Huid-operated motor moves through a gyratory or elliptical path and the mandrel 16 to which the bit is connected rotates about an axis that is stationary with respect to the surrounding housing 18, some form of universal joint or flexible connection rnust be employed between the rotor 14 and the shaft 16. This is shown as consisting of upper and lower universal joints 20 and 20A, but other forms of flexible connections can be used in lieu thereof.
We take advantage of the fact that a universal joint or flexible connection must :be present between the rotor 14 and the mandrel or shaft 16 and that a clearance space 25 must exist therearound, to locate the bent sub at this point rather than at the top of the fluid-operated motor 12. In other words, where the apparatus is to be used for directional drilling the housing 26 is so shaped or designed that its .top pin 27 and box 28 are disaligned or are angularly related to each other. The fact that the housing 26 is thus in effect bent between its ends does not interfere with the universality or the flexibility of the flexible joint that connects the rotor 14 to the mandrel 16. With this arrangement the location of the bend in the drilling apparatus can be quite close Ito the Ibit 15 so that in setting the direction of drilling of the bit by turning the drill pipe 10, t-he direction can be accurately oriented. Also the proximity of the bend in housing 26 to the bit 15 facilitates the direction being maintained without a tendency of the `bit to Wander. FIG. 1 illustrates a situation wherein by reason of the angular relationship between the top and bottom of the housing 26 the axis of the -bit 15 is angularly related to the axis of the drill pipe 10.
From the above described construction it will be appreciated that as the bent sub or bent housing is located between the fluid operated motor and the Ibit rather than above the fluid-operated motor, greater control is obtainable over the direction of drilling of the bit 15. Location of the bend at this point does not interfere in any manner with the driving connection between the rot-or of the motor and the rbit. As a clearance must exist between the connection and the Walls of the surrounding housing to accommodate the universality of movement, lthis necessary clearance is taken advantage of to locate the bend at this point which is relatively close to the bit. While lthe invention has been described in connection with a down hole motor that is operated by lluid forced down the drill string, it will be readily appreciated that it is not restricted thereto but may be used with other forms of down hole motor which have exible driving connections between the rotor thereof and the bit.
Various changes may 'be made in the details of the construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claim.
We claim:
Well drilling apparatus including a straight pipe assembly constituting a drill string, a down hole motor comprising a housing, rotor and a stator in axial alignment with the straight pipe assembly, a rotary bit below the motor including a bearing support therefor, a rigid bent pipe section closely connecting said. motor housing to said bit bearing support, and a flexible driving connection between the rotor of the motor and the bit such that the l axis of rotation of the bit is disposed at an angle to the axis of rotation of said motor.

Affect of cemetery on home value
Does being next to a cemetery greatly affect the value of a home? We're looking for a home and have found a great old house. It's huge and has got much of what we're looking for. BUT it's right next to a cemetery. Granted, it's a historic cemetery (dates back to 1700's) and probably never even gets visitors. We're concerned about potential adverse affect on resale value. Anyone with advice or data?
I assume the cemetery has direct public access from the street or road. If it doesn't, you need to make sure the logical or deeded access isn't across the property you are looking at. If it is, it will greatly reduce the value of the property.
That isn't an uncommon issue in this area. There are a lot of pioneer cemeteries, and you can't block access to them if someone wants to cross your property to visit one, which is why I mentioned it.
Other than that, and the small but significant number of people that would be creeped out just by the thought of living next to a cemetery, I don't see a problem. In fact, it would be an advantage. At least you would know that your neighbors on at least one side would be dead quiet.
You may groan, now. ;-)
creek side makes some excellent points...in addition, your neighborhood is to die for and many are doing just that to get into your neighborhood.
One of my daughter - in - laws is a forensic scientist, she is used to visiting crime scenes and viewing dead bodies. When she and my son bought their home across from a cemetery, she didn't give it a second thought. But I'm sure others would be creeped out. It just depends on the buyer, if it doesn't creep you out and everything else about the house appeals to you, then go for it.
We live several blocks from a large cemetery and many people in our neighborhood (including DH and me) use the lanes of the cemetery to walk and bike. It's so serene and lovely, and there's no worrying about traffic. It feels a bit like a park, and it's quite nice to see people out and about there -- proof that "life goes on", even where the dead are buried. I think having a cemetery nearby can be a tremendous asset.
I may be in the minority, but I have gone so far as to search for houses that may be listed on "cemetery road" when looking because yes, you would be assured of quiet neighbors and I would have a nice, peaceful place to take walks or walk my dogs. Plus, they would hopefully not build a shopping center or office tower over it.
I strongly considered a house that was overpriced and too small just because it had a cemetery across the street.
Personally, a lovely old cemetary wouldn't bother me a bit, though a large, new, busy one might.
However - there are LOTS of people it would bother, and for whatever reason, they're not speaking up here. (I remember an old post on the subjest that was overwhelmingly negative...)
My house backs up to a pioneer cemetery. There is a green belt between us so I can't actually see it. The neighbors on the other side of the street are envious of our quiet and private backyards.
I know of one couple who looked at my house before us. When they heard about the cemetery they ran to their car and sped away. The houses on either side of us sold recently to couples with small children and both families were glad for the quiet woods behind their homes. The cemetery is old and I don't think anyone has been buried there since I have lived here.
When we were looking for a house we also liked one that was on the opposite side of a big cemetary. We did not like that fact and when we were debating of the resale value our realtor commented that a lot of people (I think she mentioned e.g. Asians) would never buy a house anywhere close to a cemetary. We did not take the house for other reasons also but I do think a location next to a cemetary does have a negative effect on resale value. By the way, make sure there is no crematory.
It's a historic cemetery, not an active one. It was established in 1655. I think the last burial there was late 1700's. It's on a gentle sloping hill that overlooks an active downtown area. A walk down the hill thru the cemetery leads to a quaint New England town with active shops, restaurants, and a great little coffee shop that has live jazz. Neighbouring it to the east is a town common, beyond that a police & fire station. (we're more concerned about fire truck noise than the whole zombie invasion thing.) It's in a visible enough locale that I doubt any mischief ever occurs there.
The house is an 1863 Victorian, I shudder to imagine how much 'love and attention' (ka-ching) it needs. It does have a 2000 sq ft barn and a full acre of land. As much as I'd hate to buy the Money Pit, I'd love to be able to walk down the hill thru the cemetery, resplendent in my jammies and bedhead, to grab a cappuccino....
I am curious as to why others who find it "creepy" feel as they do. If anyone would care to share why, I'd be interested in what you have to say. Is it the fact that you'd have a continual reminder of the eventual fate that we all share? Do you believe that there are spirits or "forces" present in a cemetery? Something else?
I remember the last 'would you buy next to a cemetery thread' and yes, there were a lot of negative responses. I consider property abutting a cemetery desirable, especially an older cemetery. First of all, unlike a new home built on developed farmland, you never have to worry that the cornfield next to your property would be rezoned and end up an apartment complex. Most cemeteries would be continually maintained, unlike a vacant field or lot. There would be little traffic into or out of it. And most of the older ones have lovely eco-friendly tree plantings.
I live in a nearly 200 year old house. I imagine a few of the prior inhabitants are lain to rest somewhere on our property, unmarked. I know for a fact many have died in my home and that all have been lain out in state in my living room. When the time comes, I would chose that option as well.
Yes, I believe in spirits and no it doesn't bother me in the least. No matter where your house is located, or near what you shall have a contingent of people who think it's a positive and one who shall think it's a negative. If everybody liked the same thing, all our homes would look alike and it would be boring as all get out.
I think it would creep me out too. Why? I think first it's that it reminds me of something unpleasant (to me at least), death. Second it reminds me of saddness..more often than not people who visit a cemetary are not jovial. If it were my dream house at a dream price, I might go for it. But just the fact that you are asking the question leads me to believe you fear some would find it undesirable. I try to limit things that might deter the sale as much as possible..power lines nearby, busy streets, etc. It's hard enough to find a qualified buyer :) Best of luck.
In my area, cemetaries INCREASE the value of homes because they are quiet (obviously), there's NO chance of further use or development, they are more heavily patrolled by the police, and any 'visitors' are generally of a higher level.
I'd LOVE to live next door to one.

I don't think I can put my finger on it except that it is creepy. I don't like the thought of looking at tombstones. While Cemeteries may be a good neighbour, unfortunately, they are also target of vandalism.
For me it has nothing to do with eventual fate. If the question is being asked if it's an affect on home value and there are people who think it is a problem, then it is an issue. There will be people who won't buy a house next to a cemetery just like there are others who won't buy next to a corner store or on a busy street. Everyone has their reasons, most of them personal and how they choose to live their lives.
For the person that said "don't buy if there's a crematory" I am assuming that person thinks cremation is still being done by ovens and it isn't. I believe its all liquid now, so therefore no smoke. Maybe TMI, who knows? I would still say "yes" to living next to a cemetary.
It would not bother me either. We live in an area where those little historic cemetaries are all over the place - I think they are quaint and would love to be buried in such a place (when I'm way old of course ;-)
You said the house has an acre of land - how close to the headstones would your house be? Any chance you could do a fence or a row of shrubberies? Sounds like your house is in a great location otherwise.
I'm of two minds. I probably wouldn't pass on a property if I loved loved loved it because it was next to or near a cemetary but I would have to think about it and weigh the pro's and cons vs. how much I loved it.
Pro's - usually pretty, quiet, not too many people
birdwatching, built in walking paths
Con's - sad-seeing funerals would make me think of loss
Scary - my imagination tends to get away from me sometimes at night although this happens less as I get older. Maybe it would depend on whether there were other neighbors or note
Veggie gardening - right next to a cementary? Somehow seems a little um...ick although I realize thats somewhat ridiculous so is getting scared at night:)

If you want an ingredient list that's as squeaky-clean as your hair, look no further than this shampoo from Acure Organics. Now to plant the proverbial seed. The natural beauty pros behind the brand have ditched a long list of dirty ingredients (think sulfates, parabens, and gluten). In exchange for these harsh additives, you'll find nourishing oils plus active plant stem cells that renew and revitalize strands at the cellular level. Not only is it nice to your hair, it's cruelty-free and vegan too!
I finally found a shampoo I like that is organic, effective, and affordable! Honestly, I am a bit of a shampoo junkie and am rarely impressed. But this one is truly great. It leaves my hair clean and shiny. My hair is typically dry but this offers just the right amount of moisture. LOVE IT! I will be purchasing after my sample runs out. :) (also, the scent is mild, which i like).5
Pleased with this shampoo for my color treated hair. I'm allgeric to certain sulfates and this doesn't contain any of the bad ones. Doesn't dry out my already straw like hair. The smell definitely wakes you up in the morning, but doens't linger. No 5 stars because I haven't met a perfect product. Yet.....4
This is a great product for the price point--especially because it doesn't have any of the nasty ingredients. I ordered the Argan oil one because I find that my hair needs as much moisture as possible. It is a clear shampoo, and usually I think of moisturizing shampoos as opaque/milky in color. I experimented with un-brushed hair and I haven't washed my hair in a couple of days. The result is shiny and it was easy to comb (usually I use a detangler). I also used the matching conditioner. 4 stars because I'm not sure if it is as moisturizing as it says. I did only use it once and I did like the result. My hair feels great and is soft and shiny. The smell is almost nonexistent in the shower, and I don't smell anything after several hours. I like that.4
I bought this product (and its matching conditioner) with my wonderful Birchbox Reward Points. I can say I am very pleased with it! I no-pooed for most of the week using different home made concoctions and dry shampoo with the occasional use of shampoo from the bottle. I decided to go with this product because I liked what I saw on the list of ingredients (or should I say, what I didn't see). Now my boyfriend is using it! We both love the smell and how it makes our hair feel. I will definitely be purchasing this product as well as its matching conditioner again!5

California's Title 24 re Outdoor Wall Mounted Lighting
Could someone with expertise in Title 24 compliance standards please summarize the most up to date requirements for outdoor, wall mounted lighting? AND Who is manufacturing the combination photocell/motion sensor lights that meet the requirements? Seems I'm finding plenty of discussion but none coming across as overall, succinct summary of the requirements.
Basically you either use a LED or CFL fixture (with GU24 socket so you can't screw in a incandescent bulb), or you use a motion sensor with any light you want. Some lights have motion sensors built in. Another way to go is to have a separate motion sensor that controls several fixtures.
Be careful with motion sensors and anything except incandescent lights.
If the light was designed with a motion sensor it will be fine, but adding one to a light is about the same as running them on a conventional (TRIAC) dimmer.
If the power supply in the CFL or LED is not designed to deal with the distorted waveforms (voltage and current) it can damage the bulb, up to causing a fire from overheating.

I picked up a 6-pack of Bell's 25th Anniversary Ale and I'm interesting in harvesting the yeast from a couple of these guys just for fun and experimentation.
It says directly on the 6-pack to decant the beer off the yeast, which I've never seen before. It is an American strong ale though at around 8%, so I'm guessing it's a different yeast strain that they use for bottling. Oddly though, it is one of the lowest flocculating yeasts I have ever seen in a bottle. The bottles have been in the fridge over a week and the yeast has barely settled on the bottom, and some is stuck in suspension just above the bottom.
Anyway! my question is this. I don't have any DME or other such goodness, and I have a bottle of juice which I don't know if it has unwanted preservatives or not (there's no sorbates, at least). Would I be able to just mix up some sugar water and use that as a starter for the yeast?
Technically yes ,would i recomend it no! If your not near a LHBS ive heard of people using Malta Goya ,which is like a malt soda to make a starter. Some grocery stores have it in the goya food section i think u have to decarb it by boiling it for a few minuets.
If its worth doing, you may as well do it right. Buy some DME and make a starter.
it's really more of an experiment than anything. the beer was decent, but nothing special. I'm just trying my hand at culturing yeast. if it were a beer/yeast I were truly interested in, I would definitely make a run to the LHBS for some DME.
I'm just curious if it's possible. I wasn't sure if sugar alone was food enough for yeast.
Sugar will work fine for what you're doing.
I know it just wouldn't be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet, but do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course?
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.
Sugar is fine if you are doing a science project. But if you are planning on using this yeast to ferment beer, you should not use table sugar. I've read that using table sugar to build yeast will cause it to quickly lose its ability to convert maltose (malt sugars) properly..thereby ruining it.
you could pour it into jars of chilled boiled water for storage and make the starter when you're getting ready to use themhttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/yea...strated-41768/
the dregs from the bottles. they dont immediately need to go into a starter

NSA Suspected of Spreading Super-Resistant Malware
February 17, 2015
Kaspersky Lab on Tuesday announced the discovery of what may be the most sophisticated malware ever. The malware's creators, whom Kaspersky has dubbed "The Equation Group," use a never-seen-before tactic to infect hard drives' firmware. The technique "makes traditional antivirus and antimalware software practically useless," said Protegrity VP of Products Yigal Rozenberg.
How Eroding Trust Hurts Companies
February 12, 2015
I love all the innovation and trends in the wireless, telecom, television, Internet and tech space. However there is also a big warning light flashing ahead that no one is paying attention to...trust is eroding. Trust is a delicate thing and is being ignored. Innovation is great, but if we don't protect the privacy and personal information of users, they will lose trust and that will bite us in the end.
Federal 'Internet of Things' Report Triggers Debate, Senate Inquiry
February 10, 2015
Just how close is 'too close for comfort' in the unprecedented connectivity of people, products and electronic communication that lies ahead with the Internet of Things? Should the providers of electronic devices be allowed to know when you set your house thermometer, or how often and how long you go for a jog using a 'wearable' electronic exercise sensor?
Anthem Mega-Breach Jeopardizes 80 Million Consumers
February 05, 2015
Hackers broke into the databases of Anthem Inc., the second-largest health insurer in the U.S., and stole up to 80 million customers' personal information. The data includes current and former customers' names, birthdays, medical IDs, social security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, Anthem president and CEO Joseph Swedish wrote in a note sent to customers.
FTC Argues Against IoT Law, For Now
February 05, 2015
The global "installed and connected base" of IoT units will reach approximately 30 billion in 2020, noted IDC in a November 2014 report. Yet now is not the time to enact privacy or security laws aimed directly at the impact of the IoT, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission says. The FTC argues that such specific legislation could stymie the development of IoT technology.
Is the FTC Jumping the Gun on IoT Security?
February 03, 2015
For months, the security community has been waving a red flag about how the nascent Internet of Things could become a cyber criminal's paradise. Last week, those admonitions were given some credence when the Federal Trade Commission recommended that the makers of IoT gadgets adopt some "best practices" to protect consumers from potential violations of their privacy and security.
A Little Dab of Credit Card Data Can ID Customers
February 02, 2015
Credit card users may be dismayed by findings MIT Researchers reported last week in the journal Science: Just four pieces of vague non-identifying information were enough to identify 90 percent of people in a data set of 1.1 million credit card users. When the researchers went to work with three pieces of less vague information, they achieved 94 percent success.
Google Gives WebView the Cold Shoulder
January 30, 2015
Google has decided not to fix vulnerabilities in WebView for Android 4.3 and older, sparking heated discussions among developers. Those versions of WebView run on the WebKit browser. Fixing them "required changes to significant portions of the code and was no longer practical to do so safely," explained Adrian Ludwig, lead engineer for Android security.
There's a GHOST in Linux's Library
January 28, 2015
Patches for GHOST, a critical vulnerability in glibc, the Linux GNU C Library, now are available through vendor communities for a variety of Linux server and desktop distributions. Qualys earlier this week reported its discovery of GHOST, a vulnerability that allows attackers to remotely take control of an entire system without having any prior knowledge of system credentials.
POS Terminals Rich Vein for Gold-Digging Hackers
January 28, 2015
Hackers are like gold miners. Once they find a rich vein for their malware, they mine it until it's dry. Point-of-sale terminals are such a vein, and it doesn't appear that it's one that's about to run dry any time soon. Following the success of the Target breach in 2013, the hacker underground was quick to rush more POS malware to market.
Businesses Seek Liability Protection for Cybersecurity Disclosures
January 28, 2015
"No foreign nation, no hacker, should be able to shut down our networks, steal our trade secrets, or invade the privacy of American families," President Barack Obama told the U.S. Congress during the State of the Union Address last week. However, hunting down the perpetrators of cyberattacks that compromise national security or disrupt commerce is only going to get more difficult in the future.
Wikileaks Steamed Over Google's Lengthy Silence on FBI Snooping
January 27, 2015
Google may have contributed to violating the First Amendment rights of three journalists working for WikiLeaks two and a half years ago, when it turned over to the FBI all their email, subscriber information and metadata. Google informed the journalists about its actions last month, saying that it had been unable to do so earlier due to a gag order.
White House Jump-Starts Cybersecurity Protection Programs
January 23, 2015
As members of the U.S. Congress started to prepare for the upcoming legislative session, President Obama lost little time in putting cybersecurity near the top of a to-do list for lawmakers. During a visit to the federal National Cybersecurity Communications Integration Center, Obama called for additional legislation to improve information technology protection.
Report: Dumb Password Use on the Decline
January 21, 2015
Millions of Net surfers use obvious passwords to log on to websites, but their numbers appear to be declining. SplashData on Tuesday published its annual list of the top 25 most common -- thus worst -- passwords leaked online. In the top spot was "123456," followed by "password" and "12345." Both "123456" and "password" claimed the top spots in 2013, too.
Businesses Waste Big Bucks Fighting Phantom Cyberattacks
January 21, 2015
Businesses spend an average of $1.27 million a year chasing cyberthreats that turn out to be dead ends. That is one of the findings in a report released last week on the cost of containing malware. In a typical week, an organization can receive nearly 17,000 malware alerts, although only 19 percent of them are considered reliable, the researchers found.
Keeping Score in the Google vs. Microsoft Zero-Day Games
January 20, 2015
Google's recent publication of Windows' vulnerabilities -- two within a week -- predictably raised Microsoft's ire. "Risk is significantly increased by publically announcing information that a cybercriminal could use to orchestrate an attack and assumes those that would take action are made aware of the issue," wrote Chris Betz, Microsoft's senior director of trustworthy computing.
Cameron Takes Hard Line on Encrypted Communications
January 15, 2015
UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who is standing for re-election, has vowed to ban personal encrypted communications apps such as Snapchat and WhatsApp if he is voted in. He also will allow UK government security agencies to monitor communications, with warrants signed by the Home Secretary. "The first duty of any government is to keep our country and our people safe," Cameron declared.
Data Breach Law Tops Obama Privacy Initiatives
January 12, 2015
A proposed national data breach reporting law, aimed primarily at protecting consumer privacy, headlined several initiatives the Obama administration announced Monday. The Personal Data Notification & Protection Act clarifies the obligations of companies when there's been a data breach. It includes a requirement to notify customers within 30 days of the discovery of a breach.
BlackBerry Jingles Its Keys to Recovery
January 08, 2015
BlackBerry has been hurting over the last several years, but recently it's starting to look like the stars may be lining up for recovery. If BlackBerry does make a comeback, it will be a very different company. This time, the focus will be on security -- plus one more important factor. BlackBerry succeeded years ago. It was the first successful smartphone maker.
Thieves Take $5M Bite Out of Bitcoin Exchange
January 07, 2015
An estimated $5.2 million was stolen over the weekend from Bitstamp, a digital currency exchange. It has suspended services pending an investigation. The company assured its customers that bitcoins held with Bitstamp prior to suspension of services were completely safe and would be honored in full. Bitstamp on Sunday discovered that some of its operational wallets had been compromised.
Fingerprint Theft Just a Shutter Click Away
January 07, 2015
Ever since smartphone makers started incorporating fingerprint scanners as a means of unlocking mobile phones, the Chaos Computer Club has attacked the technology with vigor. Not long after Apple added Touch ID to its iPhones, the German hackers demonstrated how to lift prints from a surface and create a flexible pad containing the print that could be used to break into a phone.
Yikes! Ransomware Could Take Over Your Hard Drive
January 05, 2015
Malware is running rampant on the Internet, affecting smartphones, tablets and PCs. Relatively new malware allows bad guys to encrypt devices until a ransom is paid. Usually the ransom is required in bitcoin, rather than U.S. currency, as it cannot be traced. What are the legal and other risks associated with ransomware? Ransomware is largely directed at personal devices and small businesses.
Hackers Give Touch ID the Finger
December 29, 2014
Hacker Jan Krissler, aka "Starbug," this weekend told attendees at the 31st Chaos Computer Club convention that he had replicated the fingerprints of German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leven using a standard photo camera and commercially available software. Krissler used a close-up of a photo of the minister's thumb and other pictures taken at different angles during a press event in October.
Misfortune Cookie Crumbles Millions of Security Systems
December 29, 2014
Check Point Software Technologies recently revealed a flaw in millions of routers that allows the devices to be controlled by hackers. The company detected 12 million Internet-connected devices that have the flaw. The vulnerability, which Check Point dubbed "Misfortune Cookie," can be found in the code of a commonly used embedded Web server, RomPager from AllegroSoft.

It's Time to Get 'Old School'
Why winning the battle for teens requires timeless elements
In the last few years, I've heard folks in ministry say the battle between good and evil is greater than ever. Many say it's because we are close to the Lord's return.
Sadly, however, it's my observation that few truly understand or wholeheartedly believe this. If they did, they would do more to fight back!
Christians can complain about how bad things are getting in our society, but what are we doing to oppose the forces of Satan, who does whatever it takes to "steal, kill and destroy"? When it comes to our youth in particular, what are we doing to rescue them? The truth is, many believers think they're doing all they can to reach the lost—especially teens—when in fact they're simply doing the same things they were doing years ago.
We each have a faith and a calling, and mine stems from a covenant I made with God that if He showed me He was real, I'd do whatever He asked—anytime, anywhere, anything.
He kept His end of the deal. And since my life-changing encounter with God, I've vowed to keep mine. Because of this, I now view life as if I were part of the spiritual equivalent to SEAL Team 6. Every day I live with the excitement of my next mission. When I consider the commitment and sacrifice of those real soldiers, I get pumped up knowing that this is my calling—to push myself harder, go further and do more!
By the power of the Holy Spirit, I stand for Jesus in my life, the media and Hollywood. For me, that includes relishing the opportunity to push the limits and go beyond the norm of what I think can be done. In my personal ministry, I often share that a part of my morning prayer is, "Lord, can I punch Satan in the face today and then run?"
I share all of this to dare you to do more, to smash the box of your normal thinking that you are doing all you can.
Back in the "old school" days, those who carried the torch of the gospel all had a similar zeal to do more—evangelists such as Sam Jones, Billy Sunday, D.L. Moody, Billy Graham. They understood what it meant to give everything for the sake of making Christ known. My philosophy, like theirs, is quite simple: The best way to impact this world for God's glory is to make more Christians.
There is no greater field for a harvest than today's youth. But equally as important as their conversion is the continual reminder of the knowledge of God's Word and direction of their path through prayer.
There is no greater satisfaction in this life than the peace that comes with the presence of God's Spirit. And there is no greater way to acquire this than through God's Word and prayer, God's Word and prayer, God's Word and prayer—developing a lifestyle based on these life-giving elements. Missions work is awesome, but young believers must be continually reminded that it's only by the Spirit of God leading them that they can know and do His will. They must know that their personal and ongoing relationship with Christ must be their primary focus, surpassing anything else.
In America, the spirit of darkness continues to deceive our Christian youth. Why is that? I'd argue that it's partly because we have them doing all kinds of other things without the rock-solid foundation of being in His Word every day and spending time with Him in prayer.
Did that just rub you the wrong way and offend you? Pray about it! Whoever you are, wherever you are in your ministry, I beg you to do more.
Take a chance and do more. Create a cool gospel track that turns teens' heads. Develop an innovative way to minister, or intentionally go after types and groups such as skaters. (A great resource for this is the Livin' It skate videos.) Get a handful of tickets to a relevant Christian music festival or an Acquire the Fire event. Then go to the mall, skate park or local kid hangout spot and give away these seeds of hope that, God willing, will take root and grow and bless the Lord.
Please know that I make these suggestions because they work. Even if you think these kids won't relate to you, these tools you pass on to them will. I've seen it with my own eyes, and you can make a difference. It's time to get "old school" and do more!

Why You Must Be a Couple First, and Then Ministry Leaders
Whenever two type-A personalities combine in a marriage, as well as in a ministry, the results can often be catastrophic. Most ministry couples will tell you it's far too easy for a couple serving together in ministry to allow their passion and drive to blur the lines between building a church and raising a family.
As pastors of Celebration Church, a church we planted together nearly 13 years ago in Austin, Texas, there's one thing my wife, Lori, and I know for sure: You cannot fake a great marriage! read more
Steve Hill: Beware of a Spiritual Avalanche
Evangelist Steve Hill was at heaven's doorstep after years of fighting incurable melanoma. Those closest to him were making funeral arrangements and securing a burial plot after doctors told them he had three days to live. Yet as Hill faced eternity, the man known worldwide for his fiery preaching at the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Fla., made a deathbed deal with God.
"Jesus," he prayed, "they just told me that I'm going to die, and to die is gain. You and I are madly in love with each other, Jesus. You've been my best friend for decades. Now they say it's over. If it's over, that's fine ... but You're hard-pressed for evangelists, Jesus. There are very few evangelists out there that do what I do, and You know that. If You'll let me live, I will win another million people to You, Lord." read more

0one's Blueprints: The Great City—Cold Crypts PDF
0one Games
As you descend the wide marble stairs, the temperature drops dramatically. The air turns frigid, stinging your throat and lungs with its iciness as your breath condenses, sticking to the cold, granite walls in foggy crystals. You have entered the legendary Cold Crypts beneath Castle Atregan. Quickly you recall dozens of tales about the lightless world of ancient and terrible hauntings—how its darkness remains unblemished, for merely lighting the passages is a sin. Whispered tales come to mind of unknown fates that have befallen those mortals daring to transgress its sanctity without the proper rituals. You hope these stories are only to fill the curiosity of petulant children with dread, or to dissuade would-be thieves.
Beneath the castle Atregan lies a massive ancestral crypt, a labyrinthine tangle of thousands of tombs of ancient nobles, priests, and seers. Tales abound that the sins of centuries of Atregan rule drive restless spirits from their graves to wander the hallways in malevolent mockery.
This product expands 0one's Blueprints: The Great City—Castle Ward and the related adventure The Usurpers (part of The Road to Revolution Campaign Arc)
The Blueprints product line offers you old-fashioned blueprint-style maps for your adventures and campaigns. Each map comes in a blueprint version and a standard black-and-white version. The maps are all vector-based for maximum print resolution. Despite their old-fashioned appearance, each map offers some degree of customization, using PDF technology at its best. A button (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn the grid on and off, eliminate the room numbers, fill in walls, hide doors and furniture, and many other options, depending on the map.
Each 0one's Blueprints product features a classic fantasy adventure location: a dungeon, a keep, a temple complex, a thieves' guild and so on. You can use these maps as reference to build your own adventures or simply have them at hand in case your players go in an unexpected direction during the campaign.
While offering you the best quality, these products are really inexpensive.

Published October 24, 1997
The first TV spot for Michael Jordan's Jumpman athletic apparel/footwear brand, titled "CEO Jordan," will break on ABC's "Monday Night Football," according to the AP. The spot, from Wieden & Kennedy, shows Jordan "rushing from a Bulls-Knicks game at halftime, shedding" his No. 23 jersey to switch to a business suit while he enters a building that is home to "23 Jordan Incorporated." On the way, Jordan crosses a drawbridge by using "his famed, spread-legged, slam-dunk leap -- the trademark" for his new brand. Jordan is greeted in the building by a work force that questions him on the merchandise, including Jordan endorser Vin Baker, before going into his office and inspecting a "mountain of shoes." He begins to inspect each pair, then slips an "Inspected by 23" label in the box. He returns to the game wearing his wingtip shoes and the ad ends with a newspaper headline: "Jordan scores 43 in wingtips!" (AP, 10/23).

How to Prune a Tree
Pruning trees doesn't have to be a daunting process. Learn how to safely, quickly and easily prune the trees in your yard.
Depending on the variety, trees need pruning at least every year or so. Regular pruning keeps the branches separated, allowing light to pass through to the other plants in your yard. In the case of a large tree, you may want to hire an arborist to do the pruning for you.
Suggested Pruning Tools
rope saws
pole pruner and lopper
folding pruner
portable buck saws
1. Identify the type of tree you're working with. Some are fast-growing and cut hard, so it will be a while before you need to prune again. Others, like a lot of pines, will only regenerate from live leaves, so you'll have to prune more selectively.
2. If you're going to prune yourself, invest in a pole pruner. It will help you reach high without a ladder and prune branches up to an inch thick. Buy a better grade pole pruner if you plan to do a lot of pruning. Made of forged steel, it will last longer and do heavier work. Tip: When using heavy equipment, particularly chain saws, wear protective goggles and heavy gloves.
3. When pruning, use the "undercut" technique with the chainsaw. Make a small cut on the underside of the branch you're cutting to prevent breaking.
4. Finish by slicing from the corresponding spot on the topside of the branch, making an even cut. You'll have a clean edge all around, which will heal evenly and allow the branch to grow healthily from that spot.

Bang Bang Chicken
Has anyone ever heard of this? I had this as an appetizer last night and it was wonderful. Little pieces of chicken breast coated in something very light, fried, and served with two sauces - a light, creamy and somewhat sweet sauce and a mild chili sauce. I'd love to be able to make it, but don't even know where to start. I've searched a bit online for a recipe, but have had no luck. If anyone could point me to a recipe, I'd be very greatful. Thanks.
This is the recipe I use for making Bang Bang Shrimp/prawns. Just substitute chicken for the shrimp.
Bang Bang Prawns
Almost Famous Spicy Shrimp
Source: Monique - La Table De Nana
La Recette~Courtesy of the Food Network~
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (such as sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
For the Shrimp:
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1-1/4 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
Bibb lettuce leaves, for serving
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside.
Prepare the shrimp: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Whisk the flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then return to the flour mixture, turning to form a thick crust. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Arrange the lettuce in a shallow serving bowl or on individual plates. Top with the shrimp and garnish with scallions.
I just ran across this recipe and thought you might want to take a look. I haven't made it so I can't personally tell you it's wonderful but it sounds good to me.

bjue Review
Avoid this light like the flu. First, there are 65 separate pieces that require assembly. There is a half sheet of instructions. This chiefly tells you how to wire in the unit. The rest of the assembly is all guesswork. If you are mechanically inclined, you will, as I did, eventually figure out where everything goes. But this literally took hours off and on over several weeks. The unit comes with three suspension cables that must be attached to the mounting plate. Because of poor instruction materials, you do not discover that once the cables are fed into the mounting plate, they cannot be pulled back out during adjustments. You have to disassemble the suspension mechanisms and pull all the cables back through, then reassemble all three. This is insane! Unless you enjoy self-flaggilation, don't buy this light.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Much like he did against an elite field in U.S. Open qualifying, high school senior-to-be Will Grimmer is proving at the Ohio Amateur that he's skilled beyond his years.
Rising senior in high school leads Ohio Amateur
Grimmer, a 17-year-old Mariemont High School student who played in the U.S. Open last month, shot a 5-under 66 in Wednesday's second round of the Ohio Amateur to take a one-stroke lead over two-time winner Robert Gerwin.
An Ohio State verbal commitment who missed the cut at Pinehurst as one of the youngest Open qualifiers ever, Grimmer birdied four of the last five holes on the front side and then played the back in 1-under to stand at 4-under 138 at the tournament's midpoint.
Fellow Cincinnati native Gerwin matched Grimmer's 66 — the best rounds of the day at Coldstream Country Club.
Grimmer had opened with a 72 that included a double-bogey at the par-4 sixth hole and three other bogeys. In the second round, he birdied the sixth and played those same four holes in 3 under — an improvement of eight strokes.
Grimmer shocked many when he put up rounds of 70 and 65 at Springfield Country Club on June 2 to earn one of just three qualifying spots in a field of 63.
He might not have conquered Pinehurst's famed No. 2 course, but he earlier had left his mark on the multi-course complex. In 2013, he shot a 59 at Pinehurst's No. 1 course during the North-South Junior Amateur.
Gerwin is one of the most decorated amateurs in the state. He won the Ohio Amateur in 1996 at Miami Valley and again in 2001 at The Heritage Club.

I installed an android 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2121063) on my phone and tried to connect to an OpenVPN based VPN provider. I got an error and contacted their support. Part of that process was to try another app, so we tried the OpenVPN COnnect app, the official OpenVPN app. I got a different error with that app.
One says that "your android firmware does not support the VPNService API("
OpenVPN Connect says "Sorry, due to a known issue in this version of android, it is not possible to gain permission to open a VPN tunnel"
There seems to be a few problems popping up with OpenVPN based VPNs in various Android 4.x OSs, but none complaine about 4.3 specifically. Usually they complain about 4.4 or back when 4.0 and 4.1 were new. I found this article talking about it on OpenVPN, and they're just pointing the finger, but I can't find the actual bug referenced:
I came across your code on this page:
And decided to try loading xposed and your module after emailing OpenVPN Connect and receiving a response right away. The guy who replied seemed to think the error is related to the fact that the confirmation acknowledgement dialog is not able to be summoned. I figured maybe the ROM wasn't bypassing it properly or missing some part of it, so I tried your way of bypassing it.
After loading xposed and your module, and selecting the 2 VPN apps, I still get the same results.
What are your thoughts? Should I give up and find a new ROM?

Residents watched, waited until flames descended
PALMDALE, Calif. Smelling smoke, Scott Reader watched and waited for hours as a huge plume drew ever closer to his home in the rural community of Lake Hughes in northern Los Angeles County.
It didn't take much for him to decide when it was time to get out.
"We saw flames and that was it," Reader said. "That's all we needed to see."
He packed some belongings into a trailer, loaded up the dogs, and he and his girlfriend drove to a Red Cross shelter in nearby Palmdale on Saturday.
They were there Monday along with dozens of other people who fled a vast wildfire that chewed through more than 46 square miles of old chaparral and threatened two hamlets at the edge of Angeles National Forest.
By Monday evening, the roughly 2,800 people forced to flee 700 homes were allowed to return to the rural communities of Lake Hughes and Elizabeth Lake 45 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
One small community of Antelope Acres remained under a mandatory evacuation order, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Dave Coleman. Fire inspectors were traveling from building to building to ensure the homes were safe to enter and to take stock of any damage, said Ronald Ashdale, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.
Firefighters had doubled containment of the blaze to 40 percent by Monday, as cool, moist air moved in to replace torrid weather. The flames moved out of rugged mountains and onto the floor of the high desert Antelope Valley, where the fire became easier to fight.
"The fire moved into an area where vegetation changed from real dense to real sparse," U.S. Forest Service spokesman Matt Corelli said.
The fire continued to push toward the northwest, an area that had not burned since the 1930s, Ashdale said. On Monday it jumped the dozer line set up by firefighters, pushing the area of containment out by another 5 acres.
Full containment was expected in a week, and officials expressed guarded optimism Monday afternoon.
With only widely scattered homes in the area, firefighters were able to work more on attacking flames than on structure protection, Corelli said.
At least six houses have been destroyed by the fire, and 15 more were damaged.
During the weekend, flames were fanned by unpredictable winds that pushed hotspots in different directions.
Reader, 44, said he was astounded to see how fast-flying embers blew from a ridge a half-mile away and across Lake Hughes to suddenly ignite brush near his backyard.
"It just jumped right over the lake, no problem," he said.
Reader received word that his house survived, but others weren't so fortunate.
Monique Hernandez, 37, also saw the fire jump the lake and decided to flee the mountaintop home she and her parents rented in March.
The family put their dog, photos and clothes into a van and sped down a mile-long dirt road. An hour later, they learned their home had burned.
"I saw it on the news," Hernandez said at the Red Cross shelter in Palmdale with her 3-year-old daughter, Angelique. "It was all gone. It was down to ashes."

I'm not a mod_rewrite expert, so what does [R,L] and [NC,L] mean?
Just tested this with an iPad, and it don't redirect in it. But again, i guess the mobile version would not be needed for iPads.. What do you think?
Update on the update
Hmm.. just realised that going directly to
http://www.domain.com/ from iPhone don't work, it has though. Adding something to the query like
http://www.domain.com/tracker correctly redirects to
http://www.domain.com/m/tracker - So maybe this is the reason the iPad didn't show the mobile site (and i don't have the iPad at hands right now).
Third update
Had another go at the problem with mobile website not showing when going directly to
http://www.domain.com/. The
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d was the problem.
