Consider it an early Halloween gift from writer-director Eli Roth that news of his latest horror flick is coming at us fast and furious. As we already know, it's been five long years now since Roth gave us "Hostel: Part 2," a film that, like much of his work, proved to be incredibl...Read More »
While the rest of Hollywood spends the next few months jockeying their awards season horses, Universal doesn't have have to worry about that with "The Man With The Iron Fists." It's a kung fu flick, so done and done right? Well, as folks who have been following the RZA directed mov...Read More »
Eli Roth basically wrote the modern book on the horror subgenre of hedonistic tourists receiving their comeuppance, so it comes as no surprise that his stamp is all over "Aftershock," a routine shock-fest about a couple of travelers led through a series of misfortunes when their vacation in Chile is interrupted by an earthquake. Roth produced the movie and stars as the sole American of the group, naturally nicknamed Gringo. While bar-hopping with Chilean friends Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martinez), Gringo and his fellow pleasure-seekers pick up a trio of likeminded Russian women (Natasha Yarovenko, Lorenza Izz...Read More »

In what Deadline is calling "the first significant distribution deal for a film playing at Toronto," Bob Weinstein's Dimension Films is set to acquire "Aftershock" (which is screening at the festival) and the soon-to-film "Clown," both produced by "Hostel" mastermind and "Inglourious Basterd" bastar...Read More »

Naef Spiel está diseñado por Kurt Naef en el año 1957. Naef es un prolífico diseñador de juguetes de madera. El Naef Spiel y el resto de los juegos que realiza están planteados como elementos combinables para llegar por suma a formas más complejas. Cada una de las piezas del Naef Spiel tiene ocho "dientes" en ángulo, que permiten una unión sencilla para formar construcciones escalonadas, como puentes y torres…Las piezas están realizadas con procedimientos manuales que permiten un control riguroso ya que necesitan gran precisión para así jugar adecuadamente. Cada una de las piezas tiene una variedad limitada de colores.
Naef también realizó otros juegos con piezas de unión que permitían el ensamblaje.
Artist Gianluca Traina's series titled Portrait 360 combines photography and sculpture to create alluring, mysterious objects. Mannequin-esque heads are covered in distorted, mosaic-looking squares that are simultaneously recognizable humans yet pixelated and indiscernible. To craft these works, Traina first shoots photos of anonymous subjects and focuses on their faces. He then uses a warp and weft technique to weave the 2D-images into 3D paper busts.
In the blurred surface photos, you can tell where the skin ends and the hair begins, as well as where features like the eyes and nose are. But, those things don't always match up with the attributes of a bust. Eyes are on the back of the head and hair covers the nose and mouth. There's no front or back anymore, and instead there's a constant play between photographed surface and the sculpted one. (Via Hi Fructose)

Pour son cru 2014, le Playground Digital Arts Festival a fait appel au studio d'animation londonien Bif, pour réaliser la video d'ouverture de l'évènement. La video laisse paraître une ville futuriste dont la matière se déforme et s'étire à l'infini. Belle prouesse de réalisation digitale à découvrir en vidéo.
Though made of clay and designed as functioning vessels, the ceramic vessels created by Prague-based artist and designer Adam Železný are anything but ordinary. Using an innovative method of controlled detonation, Železný sends shockwaves into small refractory containers holding masses of clay to create unique works of art. Appropriately titled "The Blast," this series of works offers an unconventional approach to a familiar art form— "a kind of punk analogy to an industrial porcelain production."
Based on complex tests and intricate measures, Železný's system of charges results in one-of-a-kind bowls spanning various shapes and sizes. While each bowl is undoubtedly a work of art in and of itself, to the artist, it is not the finished product that is key but, rather, the process itself.
In order to capture this fascinating method of production, Železný has documented the entire process in a video. Depicting the artist's "alternative methods of ceramic shaping," the short video shows Železný himself as he sets off the explosions and subsequently creates the sculptures. While the video also briefly depicts the project's initial set up and final, tangible results, its focus remains on the process—which is, ultimately, presented as a work of art.
The post Artist Makes Ceramic Vessels By Detonating Explosives appeared first on Beautiful/Decay Artist & Design.
Artist Harry Roseman takes the ubiquitous material known as plywood and with careful cuts and placement, creates the illusion that this rigid material is pliable. The large pieces include "folds" that make them look as though they are textiles. Roseman uses a single piece of wood and mismatches its grain to break up the visual monotony; it fools us into think that there's a back and a front to this "fabric." The rigidity is reminiscent of a plastic camping tarp, but it's still impressive at how, with relatively few cuts, the pieces are believeable as something other than what they're made of.
These sort of observations and overall sentiment is part of what Roseman is trying to achieve in his sculptures, writing:
The subjects of my work are the bend of a curve, the conjunction of edges, the turn of a fold, the weight and nature of objects, the conjunction of idea and object, the way an idea sits in an object and next to an object and the way surface can obscure and also reveal. One of my aims is to close the distance between thinking, looking and making, to the point where it is hard to tell the difference.

Planting using spin out bags
At Ken's suggestion, I'm putting this in its own thread. The other thread was quite lengthy and some folks may not have seen it.
I have a good sized Norway Maple in front of my house that I don't want to cut down. It provides good shade on the south facing side of my house and it would take too long and be too expensive to replace it.
Here's the maple in question. I took off some lower branches to allow for more sun.
I decided to plant some Hostas beneath it in Spin Out bags. These fabric containers can be purchased from Wild Rose Distributing. Their advert is on the Hosta Library main page. When you get these bags you turn them inside out. The black side is supposed to prevent competing roots from invading the space of your plant. The size I bought was 12"x12" square and about 16" deep. Here's a bag in the hole. It's supposed to remain an inch above the soil surface.
The planting area not only has root competition from the Maple, there previously was a Tree of Heaven (ailanthus altisima) in this area. This is an invasive, non-native devil plant that I have been digging out spraying with roundup for the last two years. Here's a pic of the root competition in the plant hole.
I chose a mature hosta for this planting. It's a plant I haven't IDed yet. Last year it was scorched badly in the summer and I couldn't recognize it. But it's a huge plant. I had to divide it in half to fit it in the bag and it probably still has 30-40 eyes.
Here it is planted in the bag.
I added a bag of composted cow manure to the soil I used to fill the bag. You can see that when you fill it with soil the bag tends to assume a round shape more conducive to planting. This is a good spot for this Hosta as it will get morning sun, but protection from mid day and afternoon sun. I'm hopeful that the spin out bag will give it the root protection that it needs to thrive. I'll update it in the later spring when I can better identify the plant.
Hosta root systems seem much wider than they are deep. You can see from the pic above that this division takes up most of this bag, and that was after I divided it in half. This is a medium to large sized hosta and based on what I saw last year it should be about 30 inches in diameter at full maturity. It may be that it outgrows this bag, but if that happens then I feel good about its chances of fighting off the maple roots on its own. I don't know about you, but I don't dig planting holes 6-8'! Next I will try a less mature hosta under this same tree.
BTW, you can buy the spin out fabric on its own. Theoretically you could make a bag as large as you like.
As I think about this more, it occurs to me that I have a little more than a cubic foot to deal with, and I can make the bag fit the shape of the plant hole. So if I dig a hole 10 inches deep, I can get a planting hole more than 15 inches in diameter. I think I'll give that a shot next time.

GCC Compiler Is Up To 7.3 Million Lines Of Code
Published on 14 August 2012 07:32 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
Here's some staggering statistics about the development of GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection.
After providing
Git stats on a number of graphics drivers
, which proved to be interesting, here's some development stats for the Free Software Foundation's GCC. GitStats was run on the Git mirror of GCC as of 13 August to generate some rather intriguing numbers.
The Git activity goes back to 23 November 1988 and during the course of these past 8,665 days on 7,270 of those days there were code commits made to this leading open-source compiler. In total, GCC in Git is currently up to 77,053 files amounting to 7,348,239 lines of code as of yesterday.
The 7.3 million lines of code has been spread across 118,375 commits (an average of 16 commits per active day) and in the process there's been 24,456,429 lines of code added and 17,108,190 lines removed. A total of 470 developers have committed to the GCC repository.
GCC's development has really picked up in about the last 15 years.
So far this year there's been 4,046 commits to the GCC repository while in 2011 there were a total of 8,546 commits. The most commits ever in a single year to GCC were in 2004 when there were 9,595 commits. The activity so far this year saw the addition of 1,123,593 lines of new code and the removal of 812,895 lines of code.
The number one code contributor to GCC is Red Hat's Jeff Law. In second is Richard Kenner who was a contributor since 1991, but he hasn't committed to GCC since 2005. While RMS is in 8th place for the overall number of commits, he hasn't committed to GCC since 1997.
Joseph Myers has been adding a massive amount of code to GCC lately by line count.
A look at the top developers by commit count over time.
Some monthly GCC stats...
GCC's file count has been steadily rising for about the past five years.
The lines of code count for the GNU Compiler Collection is also continuing to rise with no signs of it slowing down.
Next up will be some development stats on LLVM/Clang.

1. Overview of the QNA database
The tables give both annual and quarterly data for all the OECD member countries, some other major economies and a number of groups of countries (zones). Data for countries are available in national currencies and, for the main components of GDP by Expenditure, they are also available in US dollars converted with Purchasing power parities as well as in volume and price indices. Data for zones are available in US dollars.
Tables are updated on a daily basis.
2. Historical data
Quarterly National Accounts data officially released by countries start in different years depending on the country's practice, data availability and harmonisation with other relevant economic statistics. It is important to note that when countries change their methodology (for example in implementing the new SNA 2008), they usually provide at first a new set of accounts covering a limited period. Longer historical series are then normally made available over the following quarters.
In these cases of shorter time series, the OECD Secretariat, to ensure no loss of time series for users, estimates the missing data for the main expenditure components of GDP in order to publish historical data from Q1 1960 (where possible). The estimation is undertaken using the current systems of accounts and linking to older systems based on different methodology in order to obtain the longer time series.
The method used by the Secretariat to link two time series from two different methodologies is as follows: for each individual series, the ratio between the new methodology data and the old methodology data in the first common year is calculated. This ratio is then multiplied by old methodology series for the time period that data have not been provided. The same method is applied to both current and volume estimates data.
To extract the historical series, the measures to be selected are: CARSA or VOBARSA for data expressed in national currency (respectively in current prices or volumes estimates) and CPCARSA or VPVOBARSA for data expressed in US dollars.
Nevertheless, due to missing annual long time series, data for some countries may start later: Czech Republic, Hungary, Korea, Poland and Slovak Republic.
3. Annual and quarterly levels
Annual data are always expressed at annual level and are calculated by sum of the original quarters or average when it concerns population, employment series and also when they are derived from quarterly data at annual level.
Quarterly data are available at quarterly level and/or annual level depending on the country's practice. Canada, Japan, Mexico and the United States publish their data expressed at annual level. For these countries, quarterly data expressed at quarterly level have been derived by dividing national data by four.
4. Measure
The measure is composed of three parts giving information on valuation, level of quarterly data and seasonal adjustment (including for some countries adjustment for working days). For example, a series of chained volume estimates, expressed at quarterly level and seasonally adjusted will have the following measure: LNBQRSA.
Almost all OECD Member countries publish chained volume estimates but some countries still publish volume data at fixed constant prices. It is therefore recommended to select both VNBQR and LNBQR measures in order to extract original volume data and VNBQRSA and LNBQRSA in order to extract seasonally adjusted volume data.
-- Valuation
-- Level of the quarterly data
-- Seasonal adjustment
5. Power code and decimals
Data are expressed in millions (national currencies, US dollars, hours worked), thousands (persons, jobs and full time equivalent) or unit (PPPs). Default power code and number of decimals can be changed by users.

Bioshock Infinite Achievements reveal new modes, weapons
Once again, Exophase has revealed a listing of in-game Achievements for an anticipated upcoming title, this time the long awaited Bioshock Infinite. For those of you who want to go into a title spoiler-free, you may want to avoid the next paragraph.
There's three Achievements connected with the game's 1999 mode including one for unlocking it, one for beating it, and one for beating it without utilizing the dollar bill vending machines. There are also a lot of weapon-centric Achievements, and while this is not a huge surprise as many games have this, certain weapons have unique names that really sound kick-ass. The "Founder Pig Volley Gun" and the "Paddywhacker Hand Cannon" sound especially fun to use, based on name alone. Finally, and biggest of all for BioShock series fans, it appears that special abilities are no longer injected via EVE syringes, but through ingestion of elixirs named "vigors," of which there appear to be eight separate types.
Beyond these, there are your typical "do X number of " tasks -- be they kills, actions, etc. -- as well as a few secret Achievements which tend to reveal enemy and event names. If you're so inclined, check them out, as they spoil a few more things than I have here.

In response to implementation of the healthier school lunch required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the American Council on Exercise issued the following statement:
The new school lunch provides students with healthy and balanced meals that are rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and have less sodium, saturated fat, and empty calories than the old school lunch. Not surprisingly, students accustomed to lunches filled with high-salt, fried foods have not readily adjusted to the change. Some students, teachers, and politicians have expressed concern that children are not eating the lunches and consequently may not be meeting their nutritional needs or may finish lunch hungry.
The new school lunch provides 850 calories for high school students, 700 calories for middle school students, and 650 calories for elementary school students. It provides a nutritionally-dense and balanced meal, reflecting recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines. A child who eats the school lunch should receive more than adequate calories and nutrients to meet needs for optimal growth and development. Many school districts provide unlimited access to fruits and vegetables for children who are still hungry, or for young athletes and other active children who require more calories than the average student.
It should come as no surprise that the students are not readily embracing the healthier school lunch. If given a choice between french fries or broccoli, 99 percent of children will choose the french fries. However, given the current epidemic of childhood obesity and physical inactivity, schools and communities cannot afford to cater to a child's preference for sweet and salty foods. School is a place where parents send their children to gain an education and learn how to be healthy and care for themselves. The school lunch should serve as an example of the highest health standards in practice.
Parents, professionals, and community members concerned about the new school lunch should consider the following three points:

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Conservative MPs must obey law, or change it
The Conservative Party of Canada has, yet again, run afoul of election laws. This time, it's Manitoba Tory MPs James Bezan and Shelly Glover, who are accused of failing to accurately report election expenses and then refusing to amend their returns.
Last month, Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand wrote to the Speaker of the House of Commons, demanding that Bezan and Glover be suspended for refusing to file complete 2011 election-expense returns. Both MPs dispute the Elections Canada ruling that would require them to claim additional expenses. In both cases, that would likely put them over the spending limit.
Mayrand took the unusual step of asking the two MPs be suspended because they refused to amend their returns. Both MPs insisted their returns were fully compliant and it was the chief electoral officer who had erred in his ruling. Now, they've gone to court to prove their case.
The MPs portray the alleged crimes against the electoral laws as petty, meaningless and ultimately inconsequential. It would be a mistake to accept that assertion. While the guilt of Bezan and Glover has not been proven, the issues here strike deep at the heart of democracy.
Although there are different specific issues with each MP's return, there is one issue that links both: the failure to accurately account for money spent during the 2011 campaign.
Elections Canada requires detailed itemization of all expenses so it can ensure compliance with the law. Both MPs entered tens of thousands of dollars in expenses under broad and extremely general categories with no specifics about who received the money.
According to official election returns, Glover had line entries for $34,477 in "other advertising," $18,257 for "surveys" and $9,545 for "miscellaneous expenses." Bezan, in similar fashion, claimed $17,253 for "other" and $26,221 for "amounts not included in election expenses."
The important thing to note about Elections Canada is that it genuinely does everything it can to remedy erroneous or incomplete expense returns before resorting to extraordinary measures. It is well-known politicians who have broken election finance laws have got away with little more than an agreement to amend their returns and a promise never to do it again. That is to say, you really have to flout the authority of the chief electoral officer to end up where Bezan and Glover are now.
Why is this important?
Both MPs have a tremendous advantage over competitors come election time. As sitting MPs, they are able to raise more money, spend more money, and can access taxpayer cash between elections to promote their brand and activities.
In Bezan's case, the issue at stake appears to be his refusal to claim permanent advertising -- ads he would pay for out of his MP's budget between elections -- as an election expense. This is a pretty standard restriction on incumbents at both the federal and provincial level. Bezan claimed in his statement he disagreed with Elections Canada over this provision in each of the past three elections. That doesn't explain why Bezan feels the rules are unfair.
Once a writ is dropped, an elected politician becomes a candidate. Any resource or advantage they have as a sitting legislator is taken away from them. We know Bezan feels this is silly, but we don't know why.
The thing is, even if it is unfair, it's unfair for all candidates. In other words, it's a perfectly level playing field. Again, no indication why Bezan has an issue with that.
The Bezan-Glover story raises an important question: What exactly does a politician have to do in this country to get kicked out of his or her seat?
The Conservative party last year pleaded guilty to violating election finance laws in the 2006 federal election in what has become known as the "in-and-out scandal." By moving expenses in and out of local riding accounts, the party was able to exceed its $18-million central campaign limit. A fine was levied against the party. The kicker was the investigation into this debacle cost Elections Canada, and thus taxpayers, more than $2 million.
Elections Canada also recently fined a number of politicians from various parties for abusing robocalls in the last election. The calls were blatant attempts to discourage voters.
Fining someone who tried deliberately to undermine the electoral process seems a little like giving a speeding ticket to someone after they have plowed their car into bus full of preschoolers. The punishment is out of step with the crime.
There comes a time in the life of any politician when you have to demonstrate a commitment to either obeying the law, or changing it. For the Conservative party, and members of other parties who have also lost their moral compasses, that time is now.

Saturday's Rangers-Angels lineups: Shin-Soo Choo, Robinson Chirinos return
ANAHEIM, Calif. Shin-Soo Choo was in the Texas Rangers' lineup Saturday after being day after being removed after seven innings because of soreness in his sprained left ankle, and Robinson Chirinos was back at catcher a day after dealing with a suspected case of food poisoning.
Choo said that he will likely be dealing with the ankle for a few more weeks, but he also said that the five-plus games he missed because of it are all the off days he wants to take this season. He said that the ankle felt better Saturday morning and was good enough to play left field.
Manager Ron Washington, meanwhile, expects that Choo will get more days at designated hitter than he would like until the ankle is no longer a concern.

Series: Movie Discussion Guide Bible Study
Publisher's Description
A robust saga about a commoner who rallies his people to fight for freedom.
Braveheart tells the story of William Wallace, a common man roused to war. After the love of his life is killed, he commits his life to revenge. Since his people are oppressed by the sword, he takes the sword to his oppressors. He is not a nobleman, whom others must follow because of his title, but a man of bravery, whom men choose to follow in admiration. He is a man of single-minded purpose: to attain freedom at all costs, even the cost of his own life. He knows that death comes to all men but decides the mettle of a man is in the type of death he chooses.
This study guide will help you discuss some of the major themes of Braveheart. When is it right to wage war? What is the meaning of freedom, and how is it attained? What do people live and die for?

Manufacturer: Bob Marshall Saddle
Model: Western / Hand Tooled Treeless Trail Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I ordered it on line brand new 2 years ago and paid some where in the neighborhood with the skito pad around $1400.00. I bought this saddle because a friend recommended it to me for comfort for me. As it turned out it is as much comfort on my Morgans as for me. I have rode 7 different horses of mine and it has fit them all (all morgans).
Likes: I paid the extra for floral tooling on everything and it is B.E.A.UTIFUL. It is like riding your horse with the comfort of your best chair. Quality is very good over all and was for the money a good buy.
Dislikes: You do need to have a good supply of different sized girths if you ride more than one horse and still if you only ride one horse... it will take a few to find one small enough. Go small on the girths when shopping! I would also rather have a leather cinch strap but still have not changed that out yet and I find that I had to add more holes in the provided strap even after finding the correct girth.
Quality: The quality is very good and I love the endurance leather seat over my friends suede seat.
Summary: If you want a close contact, quality, comfortable, very handsome saddle... this is the one!

On Monday, Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast of the United States, flooding entire towns in New York and New Jersey, triggering large-scale power outages and killing at least 17 people. The health and safety of individuals is the first and foremost priority, followed by the recovery of critical infrastructure services (power, water, hospital services, transportation etc.). As these services begin to recover, many business and IT leaders are wondering how they will resume normal operations to ensure the long-term financial viability of the company and the livelihoods of their employees and how they will serve their loyal customers.
Most likely, if you have offices that lie in the path of Hurricane Sandy, you are experiencing some sort of business disruption, large or small. The largest enterprises, especially those in financial services, spend an enormous amount of money on business, workforce and IT resiliency strategies. Many of them shifted both business and IT workloads to other corporate locations in advance of the storm, proactively closed offices and directed employees to work from home or a designated alternate site.
If you are small and medium enterprise and, like many of your peers, you didn't have an alternate workforce site, robust work-from-home employee capabilities, an automated notification system or a recovery data center, what do you do now? While it's too late to implement many measures to improve resiliency, there are several things you can do now to help your organization return to normal operations ASAP. Here are Forrester's top recommendations for senior business technology leaders:

My house sits atop a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean (hence, the neighborhood name of "Beachmont") and was built sometime in 1890. It's one of the tallest houses in the neighborhood and as I write this post, my house is swaying back and forth from 50 mile an hour winds (I've been told it's meant to sway which is somewhat comforting but not entirely) and from my porch, I can see waves crashing over the sea wall and slamming into my neighbor's homes below me. Needless to say, I have a vested interest in the emergency response to Hurricane Sandy.
There will be time for more detailed analysis later but here are just some initial observations and thoughts:

I recently attended Trend Micro's Insight 2012 event for an update on corporate and product strategy from Trend executives, hear from partners and enterprise customers about their experiences working with Trend Micro, and sit down to 1:1's with business unit leaders. I met with Carol Carpenter, EVP of Consumer, who shared a bit about what Trend is doing for consumers and provided demos of their latest Android mobile apps out on the market and in development. Of the ones available now, they are the usual suspects – mobile security, backup and restore, and a password manager. And then, there's a battery optimizer app. Random? No, not really.
Consumer security has come a long way from simply antivirus software for PCs. Mobile security is undoubtedly on everyone's minds at this point (oh no! device loss, malware, my apps are spying on me!), but that's only one factor (albeit a big one) contributing to the evolution of this consumer security market. We're looking at protecting devices, data, identities, interactions, privacy, the consumer – in short, the online experience. That's where the umbrella of consumer security expands, and I see apps like Trend's battery optimizer fitting in. It's not a "security" solution in the traditional sense, and more of a productivity tool. Consumers gain visibility into what the device and apps are doing (to the battery), and using that information to then make an informed decision (e.g., stop running that app, turn off Wi-Fi, etc) to preserve battery because it's running too low for comfort.

Everyone knows that in business you need to do two things: Increase top-line revenue growth and reduce bottom line cost. Doing both of these is how companies grow profitably. It really is that simple. Now why is it that Information Security Officers have trouble thinking this way? Read my new paper titled Determine The Business Value Of An Effective Security Program — Information Security Economics 101 - developed for the The S&R Practice Playbook.
In the paper, I argue that we need to associate the value of information security with the value of the information assets we protect. How is this value determined, you may ask? Well, ask away, because in the paper I outline a method to determine that value. It's simple. We live in an information economy and even though we may be a bank, manufacturer, or a retailer, at the end of the day we wouldn't be in business without information. In many ways information is what we sell.
Think about it; if we associate information security with asset value defined by the revenue these assets produce, we would understand how to prioritize security effort and we would have a lot more productive conversations at budget time.
Join in the debate, and tell me why this approach couldn't work in your firm. I want to hear from you.
I just wrote a paper on the value of information security. Please see the paper here. It is something I have thought about for a long time. Information security as a technical discipline but someone has to pay for all this fun we are having. My assumption is that as Willie Sutton is quoted as saying "Go where the money is...and go there often." Today where organized crime and nation states are going is to information. It is amazingly easy to monetize certain kinds of information. There is a buyer for everything that hackers can steal. The impact to business has been debated for some time and we go to great lengths to perform risk assessments. What we don't do such a good job of is monetizing that risk.
Consider this. If we can monetize the information asset, we should be able to monetize the risk to that asset. The key to monetizing risk is knowing the value of the asset at risk. Different systems for risk assessment have been in place for some time. They all seem to revolve around professional judgment. My argument is that using a combination of threat modeling (war planning) plus simple asset monetization will allow us to monetize risk. The results will not be perfect, but they should be directionally correct. As Doug Hubbard says it is better to be directionally correct than specifically wrong[1].

I just finished a research document titled Measure The Effectiveness Of Your Data Security And Privacy Program for the The Security Architecture And Operations Playbook. This was a lot of fun to write, because I was able to look back at the 50-plus interviews conducted over the last year, all of them focused on the security metrics issue. This seems like such a hard question to answer. My conclusion is that many security organizations are measuring the wrong things.
There are several reasons for this. Here are a few of my observations:
Posted by Stephanie Balaouras on October 2, 2012
Each year, Forrester Research and the Disaster Recovery Journal team up to launch a study examining the state of business and technology resiliency. Each year, we focus on a particular resiliency domain: business continuity, IT disaster recovery or crisis management and enterprise risk management. The studies provide BC and other risk managers an understanding of how they compare to the overall industry and to their peers. While each organization is unique due to its size, industry, long-term business objectives, and tolerance for risk, it's helpful to see where the industry is trending, and I've found that peer comparisons are always helpful when you need to convince skeptical executives that change is necessary. For better or for worse, it is a fundamental part of human nature to want to go with the herd. For those who are interested, there is a great Freaknomics podcast on the subject called "Riding the Herd Mentality: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast."

Peach tree has fallen but trunk still stands
I just moved in to a new house 2 months ago and there was nice big peach tree, full of peaches, but after a few weeks of living here half of the tree fell and a week after that a friend was up in the tree picking peaches and the other half fell. However, part of the trunk is still there it stands about 5 feet high, and I was wondering if there is a chance that from the trunk the peach tree will re-grow or should I just buy a new peach tree. The peaches from this tree were very sweet so if anyone knows of any tips to help this one grow back it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance to any who reply.
On a peach you shouldn't cut anything off if you want to have hope of regeneration- which is highly unlikely if there are now no leaves on the tree. If there is any hope it will probably send out some new growth in the next few weeks, but peaches don't reliably send out new buds from old wood.
Peach trees have a short lifespan compared to other fruit trees- some varieties shorter than others and soil type and climate also factor in but it sounds like this peach tree was on last legs and its time to plant another.
I have a 25 year old Madison peach that is going as strong as ever- lots of vigorous shoots capable of producing very large peaches. I think in the home orchard certain varieties on certain sites can be productive for at least 50 years here in the northeast.
You can use the trunk as a rootstock to propagate another peach tree. it is faster than just planting one. One of my fig trees was useless because it's figs never ripen and fall down prematurely. I cut all the branches except a foot of the branches and 4 feet trunk and propagated buds of one of my stars fig trees on it. I am happy it worked and produced sweet eatable figs, I am not an expert and if I can do it ant body can,

I started BudapestAgent as a kind of diary of the places I have visited and by now it is a really large selection of spots that I have reviewed.

The past years the restaurant scene in Budapest has developed towards multinational, higher standards restaurants with a lot of good cuisines, brilliant chefs and places with very nice interior. Read along the latest reviews I have written and check more places via the top menu.
Restaurant Reviews
Hai Nam Pho Bistro
Hai Nam Pho Bistro bistro is a small, simple yet fantastic Vietnamese restaurant on Buda side. From outside it looks like one of these fastfood Chinese restaurants that you find at every second corner in Budapest ans also from inside it looks fairly unspectacular. Nevertheless you will leave Hai Nam Pho Bistro with the will to come back to eat one of the Phos (Vietnamese soups) or any other dish. For me a good sign about originality and quality of the food is when people from that particular country sit in a retaurant and that is the case here. The…
Fröccs & Barbecue Festival
The Fröccs and Barbeque Festival in Budapest is a young gastro festival all about the Hungarian traditional Fröccs (Wine Spritzer) and all things that find place on a BBQ.

Fröccs is the most popular alcoholic drink in the summer time and also Barbecue is very popular in Hungary so it is logical to combine these 2 into one festival. Not that there are no gastro festivals in Budapest with the Wine Festival or…

The location right next to Gellért Hotel usually could be seen as a potential tourist trap but that is not the case with Palack. During summer time it is possible to sit outside but also…

Budapest Nightlife & Detox – Clubs, Bars and Baths
The nightlife in Budapest is vibrant with clubs and bars spread all over the city. There are a few hotspots such as Liszt Ferenc tér, Ráday utca or Nagymező utca where the density of bars and clubs is higher however you can find nightlife spots in every part of the city. Locals say that the party on weekends rather takes place on the Pest side and that is true. All 3 above mentioned spots are located in the larger part of Budapest. Furthermore there are many events taking place in Budapest every year such as the Sziget Festival, which you shouldn't miss, as well as one time events like concerts and performances.
However after a long night out you might want to detox in one of the famous Thermal Baths which Budapest is famous for. With its many natural springs across the country Budapest was predestined for a spa and bath landscape and the Turks finally brought this bathing culture to Budapest and Hungary.

User Bio
We are a church where everyone is welcome, regardless of your lifestyle, past, race, culture or spiritual experience. We truly believe everyone will discover that our church is a place where you can be yourself and find authentic relationships.
We're not about denominations, we're not about buildings – we are about people. We believe that relevance to culture is not an option. We believe love is the context for every activity of our church - after all, we are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
We believe we are to be a church of great influence and significance in our city by impacting the local community, partnering with local agencies such as police, local councils, schools and social services. We believe the local church is the hope of the world, delivering the gospel of Jesus Christ in both what we say and how we live.
Ultimately, we believe the church is not here to meet our needs, but we are the church, here to meet the needs of the world.
