Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.
From what I can gather from the long string of tweets, Neko had invited artists and designers to create a poster for her upcoming "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" tour to support her new album. The winner would get $1,000 prize and Neko, a visual artist herself, would end up working directly with the winner. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Welcome to Xcode 3
As a computer science student, after reading the in-depth analysis of Leopard's retail release, the thing I was most excited about was the prospect of Xcode 3 and working with a unified interface for Mac (as opposed to the Java I've been using till now). Unfortunately, it appears Xcode 3.0 is a dramatic departure from 2.2; having visited multiple tutorial webpages, and Apple's own "Introduction to Xcode" articles given on the splash screen of Xcode 3, I can't manage to find enough that matches up to try anything. In other words, all these old tutorials are seemingly now inapplicable to Xcode 3, especially for someone who has never used the IDE before.
What I'm looking for is the following:
- an introduction to Objective-C 2.0, intended for either new or experienced programs, that includes information on variables, if structures, loops, etcetera. Syntax, basically.
- Using Interface Builder with Xcode 3 and how to interact with the GUI
- Core Animation
Any help would be much appreciated, at least until Apple gets into gear replacing their outdated help files...
*edit* An especially important thing that would help me is Objective-C's print to console command; at least then I could blindly make my way through it :P
Also, could somebody explain to me why classes in Obj-C come in two parts?
|Oct 30, 2007, 06:53 PM
I've been reading "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" and although Xcode itself isn't much different, Interface Builder is totally different and I keep getting totally stuck.

Objective-C is a strict superset of C, so you can of course use printf() just like you would in C. However, more commonly you'd use the function NSLog() like so:
NSLog(@"Hello! This is an integer: %i, this is an object: %@", anInteger, anObject);
NSLog() essentially works just like printf (same string format) except that it takes an ObjC string constant (string in quotes with an '@' at the beginning) and you can print arbitrary objects using the %@ placeholder. Objects to be displayed are sent a message calling the "description" method and the return value of this method is what gets inserted in place of the %@". Built in objects generally have a reasonable description method already, and you can (and should) add one to any classes you create in order to make it easy to print information about them using NSLog().
Classes in ObjC come in two parts just because. One is the "interface" or declaration and normally goes in a .h file, the other part is the "implementation" or definition and normally goes in a .m file. That's just how it is.
FWIW, Objective-C 2.0 does not invalidate any Objective-C 1.0 syntax. That is, any Objective-C 1.0 code is valid Objective-C 2.0 code. Objective-C essentially just adds syntactic niceties with the major exception of garbage collection which is probably the biggest new feature. Garbage collection is optional and when turned on will work even for code that is written in strict ObjC 1.0. In this case, release, retain, etc will just be ignored. So in summary, you can start by just learning Objective-C 1.0 as really the changes in Objective-C 2.0 are not that significant, at least not to someone just starting out.
Disclaimer: I haven't actually had the chance to play with Objective-C 2.0 yet as I have to maintain Tiger compatibility in my two current apps, and haven't started on any new, Leopard-only apps yet. So none of this is guaranteed correct, it's just based on what I've read. I am using XCode 3.0 and IB 3, but I'm having to do some feeling around especially in IB 3, because it is quite different from IB 2. So far, I like the changes I see, at least after I figure out how to do things in the new way.

I like Interface Builder and XCode 3.0, XCode is just nice but Interface Builder is taking some time to get used to, I think its a change for the better though, I'm sure they'll be new books for Xcode 3.0 soon.
Perhaps this is not such a bad idea. Can anyone prove that many politicians aren't the offspring of a jackass? - rdowns

To the OP.
Read either the PDF or HTML version of 'The Objective-C 2 Programming Language.' It's included in the documentation for XCode 3 when you install. They also have the original document for Objective-C if you have not done that.
For IB 3. It is very nice. It isn't difficult to use, but it does have some weird usability issues.
There seems to be two opposing ways of doing the same task and developers seem to be split 50-50. The first is to create a simple class in XCode that will automatically become a descendent of NSObject. The next thing to do is open mainmenu.nib and drag this header into IB 3. From their add an NSObject instance into your interface. Change the custom class to your class, and then use IB to add outlets and actions. From their, write the files into the project, by default IB 3 doesn't seem to know where the project is and you have to physically select it. Next go back into XCode and do your work there. Of course when you save the files into the project IB will complain that they already exist so you need to either merge or replace, in this instance it is safe to replace.
The second way is to create the classes in XCode 3 and add the outlets and actions by hand in XCode 3, then drag the header across, change the custom class of the NSObject to this class and IB 3 automatically loads the outlets.
I just wish from a usability POV that Apple chose one way of doing this. It seems slightly unfinished, as if when they went GM the dev team were still trying to find a way of doing this efficiently.
I suppose it goes with the Next guys mentaility of having to enforce MVC in IB and XCode. It's nice, but when you look at other GUI kits and platforms, no-one else enforces it at a physical level. They let you mix and match code with GUI logic, a crap way of doing things yes, but it makes it very easy to move to a more structured way.
Maybe they will fix in this in XCode 3.1
|Nov 5, 2007, 07:20 AM
XCode is fine, I've slipped into that with ease.
IB looks great but for me it's a nightmare as it will no doubt be for any other users of the previous versions of IB
A question for anyone who might know the answer, today was the first time I built a new interface from scratch using the new IB, now all went okay (with a few hiccups trying to find the "new" ways)
But one thing I'm still yet to discover;
I create myself a new Object and load it with various Outputs and Actions, now what I cannot figure out is how do I create and implement the *.h and *.c files !!!!
|Nov 5, 2007, 10:49 AM
Core animation turns out to be pretty easy (or so I hear) once you've got firm knowledge of those three things.
I believe there's a command called NSLog to write to the console. It takes a specially formatted string, so either use an NSString object, or if you're using a constant string, try this:
NSLog(@"hello world");
It's been a while since I did Cocoa but it's actually a great toolchain/environment for building apps really quickly. There's a lot of "default" behavior there that means you spend more time actually creating useful features and less time worrying about standard details.
Finally, Obj-C classes are split into 2 parts for a very simple reason. One part is the declaration of the class; this contains the name of the class, and its public data members and public message handlers (functions, essentially). The other file contains the actual implementation for all of those message handlers as well as any private data structures.
The reason for this is that the first file acts like a header (if you were writing in C, you would always create a header file); when you want to use that class in another part of your program you just include the header file into that program file and now that file has access to the class structure.
|Nov 5, 2007, 11:20 AM
The new version of Interface builder, relies on the user implementing the functions instead of letting Interface builder do it for you. E.g.
Instead of making a function called: sumTableColumn:
you go into your header file and implement it
- (IBAction) sumTableColumn(id sender);
uh I may have that syntax wrong... I forgot my Objective-C OMG!!!
durr forgot: then when you go back into IB you'll be able to link that function to a button or whatever. I don't like it, but that's how apple implemented it... dunno why though....

I'm learning C++ using Xcode, and the upgrade totally threw me off. I'm spending more time learning how to use the new Xcode than I am learning C++. I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Interface builder is a bit crazy for me though. I'll definitaly be keeping an eye out for a book on Xcode 3.
|Nov 5, 2007, 12:12 PM
In fact I ended up using method 2 as I'd already created the nib file and I tell you what it's a very clumsy approach to setting up, first of all you end up manually editing the *.h file to correctly name the interface, then the *.c file's @implementation...
This is going to be pretty awkward I'd of thought for people just coming into Xcode.
Anyway thanks again, I seem to have it sorted out now
|Nov 5, 2007, 12:44 PM
The old way, on the other hand, made it easier to initially create your UI classes, but keeping subsequent changes in-sync was more of a pain.

I suppose it will be okay if you have never used the "old" methods, it's just I'm a bit of an old dog now and new tricks don't seem to work for me
I have blended in quite well to XCode mind, in fact I'm impressed with XCode itself, I suppose IB will become second nature sooner or later but I think I'll have to take a new approach to building the GUI from now on as my old ways will most certainly conflict with this version of IB
All in all though well done Apple...
|Nov 6, 2007, 09:47 AM
I've got to come down on the "way, way better" side of this debate. XCode has always been, and remains, one of the most incoherent development environments I've ever seen, but generating some of your code from inside a separate interface design tool was an astonishingly random architectural choice and I'm glad they fixed it. Design interfaces in the interface tool; write code in the code tool. Simple.
Just to reveal my biases, of course, if there's one thing Microsoft has done right ever, it's Visual Studio. It spoils you for other development environments. Some would say in a bad way, but I suspect those people simply enjoy pain.
I keep meaning to see if I can get a good workflow going using TextMate projects instead of XCode for my primary editor in Macland, but I haven't gotten around to it.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

That being said, I much prefer working in Xcode. The biggest problem with VS is that it encourages a poor design pattern that makes it difficult to adopt MVC. I also think the whole idea of using generated code for UI creation is utter garbage. I can't tell you how many times I've managed to get the code view and design view out-of-sync. I'll take Interface Builder's approach of creating a serialized object graph any day. (To be fair, WPF/XAML does address these issues to a degree if you're writing .NET 3.0 applications.)
As for my biases, I love Cocoa and tolerate .NET. YMMV.
|Nov 6, 2007, 11:21 AM
I've been using XCode 3.0 for some days now, and I think that it does need some polishing.
1) Some stability issues need to be fixed. Especially for XCode.
2) The run log does not appear by default. Why?
3) The build and run button no longer has a keyboard shortcut. Why?
4) IB: It certainly needs some polishing. When selecting an item in a window, it is very possible to select the cell. But you may not want that. It is also very difficult to select an NSView inside a Scroll View (to resize it, for example) without having to try one or two times. It always selects a cell, or the scroll view. Finding new stuff is also difficult.
4)When I create a class inside IB, when I try to create the class files, it no longer automatically points to the project in XCode whose .nib file I have open. I need to follow the path to the project in the finder. Why?
On the bright side: XCode 3.0 and IB look better, feel better, smoother and more reliable. XCode's automatic .nib synchronization is neat and very relaxing. The search function for Cocoa interface elements is also very good, and XCode's little visual enhancements (like when you point your mouse at the left of the editor's window, it will highlight the current branch you are pointing your mouse in).
I haven't been involved with OBJC 2.0 yet. Although ObjC 1.0 code can be compiled with ObjC 2.0, I don't know if new ObjC 2.0 style code can be run on pre-Leopard machines. I think I will just sit this one out for the time being, at least when Apple's documentation is updated. Same goes with Core Animation. Cool features, but I will adopt them later.
Overall, I think that the new XCode is a huge step forward, but it suffers some illnesses that plague most of the new products in their infant stages. I am sure that XCode 3.1 will address most, if not all the issues anyone has.

Xcode 3 Applescript Studio Slowness Solution?
However, I went thru the Xcode Preferences and found that once I turned off the Indexing checkbox: "Enable for all project" under the Code Sense pane, then performance got back to what I expected. It still seems a bit slower than Xcode 2.5, but not by much.
BTW- I originally installed Xcode 3.1, which doesn't seem to have this performance problem, but it has an even worse problem where it immediately crashes whenever you put a script object in your Applescript code. That's a huge bug, but I've seen it reported elsewhere (and Apple has had a lot of time to fix it, but hasn't). So I was forced to downgrade to Xcode 3.

High drama precedes teleconference as Jagan supporters lock up DCC office
Meet ended abruptly without the agenda being taken up as 'Jagan issue' gobbled up time
Leaders vow to stay away from party activities if their demand is not conceded
Kakinada: District Congress Committee (DCC) president Ch. Venugopala Krishna, Kakinada City MLA Dwarampudi Chandrasekhara Reddy, MLC K. Durgesh and other senior leaders conveyed the popular demand for anointment of Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy as chief minister, to Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president D. Srinivas during a teleconference on Friday. However, the conference ended abruptly without the agenda being taken up as 'Jagan issue' gobbled up the time.
A high drama preceded the teleconference as the Jagan supporters locked up the DCC office and denied entry to Mr. Venugopala Krishna and other office-bearers for about an hour, saying that they would not settle for anything except making of Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy as the chief minister.
Mr. Venugopala Krishna had to persuade the irate party workers to open the office to let him put forth their views to the PCC president and no sooner than the conference started, a few workers vent their anger against the delay in making Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy the Chief Minister.
They sought to know what prevented the Congress high command from making Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy as his father's successor to the Chief Minister's post.
Amidst the din, Mr. Venugopala Krishna told the PCC president that the support for Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy was very strong and the party workers were unwilling to extend their cooperation for the successful implementation of development and welfare schemes if their feelings were ignored.
The PCC president kept speaking about the membership and the Jagan supporters too did not deviate their own agenda. Some of them shouted slogans as a mark of solidarity to Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy and vowed to completely stay away from the party activities if their demand was not conceded. As the situation continued to be disturbing, the PCC president disconnected the phone and Mr. Venugopala Krishna tried in vain to contact him again while the pro-Jagan camp kept up their tempo.
MLA Chandrasekhara Reddy expressed the fear that Congress party would face similar situation as the one that prevailed in 1983 when internal squabbling in its ranks helped TDP score a substantial victory in Assembly elections. Not making Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy as the Chief Minister was tantamount to insulting Telugu pride, he observed.

You guys actually got it working.

fantastic work.
Are you guys going to make some generic ninja models too?
Skeptical about the flashlights, considering the sheer mass of mods and teams who have tried and failed. Including Turtlerock studio's on Left for dead, who dropped it as it was too difficult...
If it is though, i'll play it just to see that working :P
very interesting...
Will you be including such charecters as Wolf Team (The bounty hunters who join the freedom fighters. From comic.) And team Choatix, etc ?
And on another note, did you do all the spriting for this ?
Its impressive
Dollars for 4 charecters...
Not worth it for me.
Beret dude and Female Army girl are all im interested in, not two wannabe superheroes and two wierdos.
Are you guys alive? :(
Sidenote, no alliance as a playable race?
Lame :P
Then again, Its free.
If you get enough attention, blizzard CAN and will take legal action.
Free does not garentee protection at all. There was a free stargate pc shooter in production, it was on a open source 3d engine, it was pretty good looking too.
It got shutdown and there was legal problems lots of them...
Simple matter being: If you touch someones intellectual property, without permission, they can file a lawsuit, under any claim such as perhaps... 'Taking our ideas and world and taking players from WoW' or something.
Free is still a violation of copyright ;)
Id advise you guys to email blizzard and get permission, in case you get shut-down after too much work :o
A little side note:
the WoW engine is the Warcraft 3 engine.
Interesting mod idea...but...a bit of a disturbing one.
Well, i dont recall original WoW but the crap they have now certainly isnt Warcraft anymore :P
If original vanilla WoW was warcraft, then cool.
Seems like you'll drag in the hordes though, so good luck with that !
Be incredibly careful.
The amount of legend of zelda multiplayer programs that has got shut down is quite a few.
One was given a lawsuit.
Nintendo seem to be very aggressive when facing zelda-online wannabes. Its almost as if they dont want anyone but them to make a multiplayer one...
Fantastic. I want it.
I think im in love.
See developer forums Vimelin ?
Beautiful o_o
Please, steam it.
I cant use my card on anything but steam and i want a copy !
interesting....but what makes this different to hl2?
8 hours of story??!!?
*buys energy drinks*
This may take some time....
Very nice, i like the idea.
You guys need some sprites for the items though in your inventory.
And perhaps a backdrop for the 'forest' to seem more foresty?
But overall it seems rather nice. I like the music.
Another resident evil mod...
Yet to see one of the hl2 ones succeed, but good luck !
Hello and so forth.
already have :p
Mkil is on the testers list i think.
Either way, its a fact that the forums are down and a reasonable response is there.
why are the forums down ? o.o
I Have written an updated guide to copyright infringement in modding.
Sent it to Chunky.
Will that be alright, or should i have sent it to someone else ? ^^
On a sidenote, i believe your review is not credible due to you not playing infection mode.
And your claim of 'never anyone playing' is silly.
I had a fantastic game with FOURTEEN players last night.
There always seems to be 2-3 playing.
The infection mode is the best currently, and its maps are the ones most furnished and that look the best. It has about 6 maps.
Getting into a flamewar wherever you can is'nt a good plan for publicity.
Read before you type, perhaps. I never stated you said that at all.
As to playing 'every', not likely at all, but i have a good 40+
When reviewing a mod, you need to review the mod for what it has. The moment you begin comparing to a real game, or another mod, your review becomes biased depending on what you felt of those.
It was a well constructed review, but as the developers pointed out and showed you, most of your points were wrong. You eventually edited some of this, but argued with the developer for a bit which was silly.
Having been in the testers, it makes a review more credible being able to compare to previous versions. This is why i am playing 1.4
I plan to review and point out what has changed, been fixed, improvements, give some criticism and suggestions, etc.
Besides, you change your opinion too much :P
Redownloading again guys.
I was in the test for the initial release, i really enjoyed playing the game. It was simple, sure, but it worked.
I am going to get 1.4 and test it out with my gaming community.
I would like to get back into testing this mod, and im pretty sure my commnity would be interested too. There are two professional game testers in my group.
As a writer studying at university, i should be able to write you a review of 1.5 that is not biased, and takes it as it is. Ive played every zombie mod there is, and i can honestly say, this is DEFINATELY not a ZPS clone.
Anyways. good work. I really want to try out 1.5 !
Oh !
I was a beta tester for this mod before i dissapeared for university.
Kind of makes me wish i was still on the testers :P
Is she still going along? The videos look fantastic, you guys have progressed a lot!
Hows the mod going ? I dearly want to play it.
Release ? :(

The term "Better late than never" seems appropiate right about now, but none the less here is our unboxing video for Square Enix's (and IO Interactive's) Hitman Absolution game which has been available within the UK since last November.
Unlike more recent 'Collectors Editions', such as the Ni No Kuni: Wizard's Edition, The Deluxe Professional Edition is still available for purchase from some online retailers, including Zavvi (360 / PS3 / PC), and while the game may have 'mixed views' the Collector's Edition content itself is much to be desired.
Inside The Box:
– Hitman Absolution (Xbox 360 / PS3 Game)
– Artbook
– Weaponary Pack DLC Code
– Making of DVD
– Carded Box for (Artbook, DVD and Game)
– 10″ Vinyl Statue of Agent 47
Unboxing Video:
Photo Gallery:
The Deluxe Edition of Hitman Absolution doesn't just appeal to fans of the franchise, but it appeals to anyone who has heard about the franchise, as i myself am not a Hitman fan – but the 10″ Statue of Agent 47 is amazing. The statue is a strong, sturdy and heavy built character that won't get damaged easily and since its not a 'replica' (i.e. like for like) of the assassin himself it blends in as a novelty item. For a collector though i assume there is some disappointed with the statue, however this is more than made up with a detailed artbook showcasing 'behind-the-scenes' work of the game, as well as a 'Making of DVD' which explains from the developers themselves on how they produced it.
Overall the Deluxe Edition is a nice addition to 'any' gamers collection and with the current price for this edition (i.e. around £60) its not much more than buying the standard game on its own (at retail).
Hitman Absolution is now available worldwide for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

That leaves little time for her to work on her third album, the follow-up to her critically and commercially adored smash '21.'

For the Party newspaper, the award was a secret attempt by the West to thrust its ideology to discredit a resurgent China.
For the activist, it was a double-edged sword — on the one hand, a recognition of struggles for greater political freedom; and on the other, a trigger for an unprecedented clampdown by the authorities.
But for the ordinary man on the street, Friday's awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo was, simply, a surprise.
"Liu Xiaobo? I have never heard of him," said Zhang Xuyun (55), as she bought groceries in a busy Beijing district. "But if it is an award for China, then it must surely be good news."
That, however, was not a sentiment shared by the government, which launched a strong criticism of the award on Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, the official People's Daily said, had "made no secret of the intention to spread Western ideology with the use of its Prize."
China views Mr. Liu (54), who is serving an 11-year jail term, as a criminal who tried to subvert State power by calling for democratic reforms and an end to one-party rule. The award, China says, is Western interference in its judicial sovereignty.
In recent months, China launched an unprecedented campaign against the award, asking countries to boycott the ceremony. For many, this lent Friday's award an unusual degree of diplomatic importance, which in some ways overshadowed the occasion.
At home, the government has mounted a large-scale media campaign, publishing regular editorials in State-run newspapers portraying Mr. Liu as an agent of the West, and describing the prize as yet another attempt by the West to humiliate China.
This is a view that resonates among many in the middle-class, in a country where school textbooks stress a historical narrative of Western colonial humiliation — one, which the government says, has only been broken by the leadership of the Communist Party.
Charter 08, the pro-reform document co-authored by Mr. Liu, calls for greater freedom of expression, the election of public officials, an independent judiciary and greater public scrutiny of the government.
The People's Daily attacked the charter, saying it "entices people to… alter the political system and overturn the government".
But others say the document only reinforces rights already enshrined by law. Bao Tong, a former official of the Communist Party's Central Committee and a signatory to the charter, said he was struck by its resemblance to another document — the Chinese Constitution.
Since his imprisonment in December 2009, Mr. Liu has, in many ways, become a symbol for the small group of activists, lawyers and scholars pushing for greater political freedom.
Recent weeks have brought an unprecedented clampdown on the activist community, with dozens being placed under effective house arrest, including Mr. Liu's wife, Liu Xia.
"This seems like the worst time in the past 20 years for civil society in China," said Fan Yafeng, a legal activist and scholar formerly with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, in an interview a few weeks ago.
In the long-term, Mr. Fan hoped, the award would serve as a milestone in the development of civil society in China.

"Active Responses" to CyberAttacks are Losing Propositions May 22, 2014Posted by Chris Mark in cybersecurity, Data Breach.

"Everyone has a plan until the've been hit" – Joe Lewis
Having spent numerous years providing armed and unarmed physical security in combat zones, hospital emergency rooms, psychiatric wards, and anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia has given me a deep respect for force continuum and the dangers of unnecessarily provoking an escalation by a volatile and dangerous adversary.
As cyberattacks continue to plague American companies as well as the payment card industry, there is a growing voice within the cybersecurity industry to allow and empower companies to take offensive action against cyber attackers. This is frequently referred to as 'hacking back' or 'offensive hacking'. Several prominent security experts as well as some companies who have fallen victim to cyber-attacks have begun advocating that 'a good offense is the best defense'. On May 28th, 2013 there was an online discussion in which an author of the upcoming book: The Active Response Continuum: Ethical and Legal Issues of Aggressive Computer Network Defense[1] posted the following excerpt:
"There are many challenges facing those who are victimized by computer crimes, who are frustrated with what they perceive to be a lack of effective law enforcement action to protect them, and who want to unilaterally take some aggressive action to directly counter the threats to their information and information systems."[2] (emphasis added) (more…)

In light of the continuing attacks against companies by Eastern European organized criminal groups, I thought it appropriate to remind everyone that state sponsored attacks are still a major issue. Here is a link to an article I wrote in The Counter Terrorist Magazine on the topic of CyberEspionage. "The economics of cyber-theft is simple: Stealing technology is far easier and cheaper than doing original research and development. It is also far less risky to the spy than historic cloak and dagger economic espionage."

add a comment
In the August, 2013 edition of Secure Computing Magazine (SC Magazine), I have an interview and article included. The interview is for the cover story called "Beyond the Checkbox; PCI DSS" and the article is called "Understanding Parallax and Convergence to Improve Security". Below is an excerpt from the article..be sure to check them out!
"To address today's threats, companies require a high degree of convergent perspective, information expertise, and coordination between personnel and groups. Previously, companies could "make do" with basic security controls such as firewalls, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and anti-virus. Attempting to understand the threats facing an organization and analyzing risk was often an afterthought, as companies relied upon simple compliance matrices and lists of "best practices" to secure their environment. This is no longer sufficient to address the threats of 2013. A major mistake in information security implementation is what can be referred to as "security parallax.""
How to choose a VPN that will protect your privacy (Guest Post by IVPN) June 2, 2013Posted by Chris Mark in Uncategorized.
Tags: cybercrime, cybersecurity, data protection, data security, online privacy, privacy, VPN
add a comment
This article is written by Christopher Reynolds, head of business development at IVPN – a VPN service, and EFF member, dedicated to protecting users' online privacy. I don't often allow guest posts but Mr. Reynolds and IVPN have done a great job of providing valuable info. Certainly worth taking a look!
Online privacy is coming under increasing attack from governments around the world. Legislation such as CISPA in the US, the CCDP in the UK and Australia's data retention proposals, have generated real worry among privacy-conscious internet users over our law enforcement's desire to increase their powers of surveillance to unprecedented levels. This culture of fear is driving more and more people toward commercial Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), which promise to protect user data and offer online anonymity. But choosing a VPN that actually protects privacy is not straightforward. In this blog post I will go over the key issues you must consider before signing up to any VPN service.
Data retention
The biggest issue when it comes to using a VPN in order to protect your privacy is data retention. Government surveillance is primarily facilitated by the data retention policies of your ISP. In Europe your ISP's data retention policy is mandated by the EU Data Retention Directive, which forces all European ISPs to retain users' personal information for between 6 months and 2 years after the user leaves the ISP's service. This data includes web logs, which essentially means a record of every website you've visited and the times you visited them. The data your ISP holds won't typically contain email logs – despite popular perception- unless you use your ISPs own email service. But it will include which third party email services you use and when you've used them. (more…)

It will also resist the pilling found with lesser fabrics. A buttoned duvet cover with two shams is finished with refined openwork detailing on the pillow flange trim. The set includes a button-closure duvet cover and two shams. Inserts not included.
Six decades ago, in a small town in the Italian province of Bergamo, Zambaiti began producing blankets and throws. It has since become world-renowned for its sophisticated bedding, which now includes linens of luxurious Egyptian cotton with distinctively high thread counts.

U.S. also the one to end it
We ended it for "two reasons": There were more white people against it than for it and it was the "right thing" to do. It could not have been any other way and was led by a Republican president named "Lincoln." But then he was murdered for it by John Wilkes Booth, a southern Democrat.
Question: How did African Americans get drawn into the Democrat party that used to enslave them? (A good read: "The Atlantic Slave Trade" by Johannes Postma ).

This and That
By Dick Vitale
Each week I talk about the world of sports:
• It's time to unveil my awards for Major League Baseball's 2009 season. I am not Peter Gammons, but I love the sport and follow it closely. For the MVPs, I am going with Albert Pujols (a runaway) and Joe Mauer edging out Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira. For the Cy Young, I am going with Chris Carpenter of St. Louis is a close call, and Zach Greinke of Kansas City over Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia. For Manager of the Year, I am picking Jim Tracy of Colorado for reviving the team after taking it over; I like Ron Gardenhire in the AL. Remember, the Twins stayed in the race despite Justin Morneau's absence down the stretch. He edges Joe Girardi of the Yankees.
• I can't wait to see the Florida-LSU game this weekend. I hope that Tim Tebow is OK to play following his concussion at Kentucky. This should be fun to see two top five teams doing battle. Baton Rouge on a Saturday night should be rocking and rolling, and the Tigers are out to avenge a 51-21 in The Swamp last season. Les Miles' team showed a lot of heart by scoring late to win at Georgia last week.
• Speaking of LSU-Georgia, two late calls of excessive celebration really bothered me. It is time to change that rule. These are college kids, playing before 70,000 or 80,000 (or more in some cases), and after scoring in crunch time, what are you expecting them to do. If they are not taunting the opposition, let them enjoy their moment in the son and celebrate. The penalty against Georgia proved costly as LSU got good field position, plus another Bulldog penalty en route to the winning touchdown by Charles Scott.
• The New Orleans Saints are for real, my friends! Drew Brees didn't have to have a monster game to beat the Jets. It is time for some credit for the New Orleans defense, which has played well this season. Pierre Thomas had a great second half running the football.
• Do you think Tony Romo will hear some criticism this week? Fair or unfair, he has gone two straight games without a touchdown pass and Dallas' loss at Denver was a tough one to swallow. Jerry Jones should be in the headlines, but it may be for the wrong reasons. You know he is not happy these days.
• Peyton Manning just keeps on rolling. No surprise as he put up another 300-yard passing game, spreading the ball to several receivers. Guys named Garcon and Collie are stepping up and making a difference now that Marvin Harrison is gone and Anthony Gonzalez is injured.
• Jimmy Clausen of Notre Dame is starting to remind me of Joe Montana during his college days. Clausen threw for 422 yards in a thrilling win over Washington in overtime. He finds ways to win games at the end, like he did against Michigan State and Purdue.
• Cincinnati defeated Miami-Ohio and South Florida got past Syracuse. My friends, the Bearcats of Brian Kelly are going to have quite a showdown against Jim Leavitt's gang on a Thursday night on ESPN. I am looking forward to being there for that one!
• The Dodgers finally clinched the NL West on Saturday, beating the Rockies. Youngster Clayton Kershaw pitched a brilliant game to lock up the division title. Joe Torre's team really needed a big win to put this away, setting up a showdown against Tony LaRussa and the Cardinals. That should be an interesting series.
• Training camp has started in the NBA. The Lakers have Ron Artest on their roster, and I think he will get along fine with Kobe Bryant. Look for Artest to be a defensive dynamo for Phil Jackson. There won't be controversy there.

I am trying to figure out the best way to use ANT to precompile JSPs that will be deployed to an Oracle application server. Even though I am deploying to an Oracle app server I would like to avoid using Oracle's version of ANT.
Oracle's JSP compiler is available in your oc4j install at ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/jsp/bin/ojspc
Assuming your classpath is correct at the compand line you would run:
ojspc your.war
The war will get updated and place a jar in the WEB-INF/lib containing the pre-compiled JSPs. Note that if your pre-compiling JSPs you should also set the MAIN_MODE to 'JUSTRUN' to get the additional performance benefit of pre-compiling your JSPs. The JUSTRUN setting does what it implies, the OC4J container will no longer check for updated .jsp files.
Once your comfortable with calling ojspc from the command line You can then begin to use the ANT tasks provided by Oracle.
Within ANT
Your project tag should reference the oracle tasks:
Update 02.22.2011 You can also just work with the ojspc jar directly and avoid trying to configure the oracle:compileJsp Task, the code below takes a war file and pre-compiles the JSPS in it.
the jspPreCompileClassPath defnition looks like this:
I'm not sure what you mean by Oracle's version of Ant but as I understand it you will need the oracle's ant task to do this job. This page explains how to do it. You will be using the apache ant that you download from the apache website, but you need to use Oracle ant task library from Oracle to pre compile JSPs for Oracle.

For example, when DD was 6 months old and EBF, I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I was told that I couldn't nurse because of the antibiotics I was on and my 106 degree fever. After 36 hours of DD refusing everything but a sip of water here and there, I had done enough research to call our pediatrician. She advised that my info was correct and the risks outweighed the benefits. Our pedi is all about natural methods, we love her!
by lil_mama06October 5, 2012 at 10:09 AMI only go to drs I feel comfortable with. Same goes for my kids' pediatrition.
by inmybizzOctober 5, 2012 at 10:25 AM
No..I have always had pretty nice doctors that welcomed my questions. Same goes for my pediatrician.
October 5, 2012 at 12:55 PMFor the most part, positive!
by EbonySnowOctober 5, 2012 at 1:02 PM
actually my experience with drs is almost entirely negative. I always get the jerks or the idiots. Almost every dr I've ever had has sucked
by momma-flynnOctober 5, 2012 at 1:16 PM
Almost always positive. If I don't have a good experience, I find a different doctor. I have been seeing my primary doctor for almost 20 years now & my obgyn since I was pregnant with dd (8 yrs). Both are very good at explaining things & answering questions. They also both tend to discuss natural remedies before pushing medicine. We haven't been to the pediatrician very often, but he's great. I was very picky when choosing her doctor & I am so happy with his office.
October 5, 2012 at 2:45 PM
No. More specifically with dentists though.

Today on Your Call: What Does The Vietnam War Reveal About the US Military?
By Malihe Razazan
On today's Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Nick Turse, author of "Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam." Turse argues that violence against Vietnamese noncombatants was not exceptional. It was pervasive and systematic. 30,000 books have been written about Vietnam. What do we still need to know about that war? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Nick Turse, a historian, journalist, essayist and the associate editor and research director of the Nation Institute's Tomdispatch.com

Don't forget about customization.
Look at this. There's already fanart about the new pokemon.
Hmm, I still don't really dig their designs.
Don't kill me
Yeah, I'm not really a fan either. They're kinda boring-looking.
Especially Yayakoma (the robin looking one) Nintendo really? It irks me everywhere.
I know right? It's literally just an orange bird. It had better evolve into something really impressive. It probably won't, considering it seems to be X/Y's Pidgey. But still.
Erikiteru (the electric one) is another one I didn't like, I can bet you its evolve into a giant hotdog shaped thing. I don't know, but for some reason it reminds me of a hotdog.
The panda looks awesome.
The goat thing is pretty cool too. Although, it does look a little too much like Sawsbuck.
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold...
But really, I'm freezing. Heats already off and the air's in. Stupid spring weather...
Watching Thor for the ump-teenth time.
It's not a bad movie, but it isn't as good as the other Avenger movies. My favorite is Captain America out of all of the Avengers movies.

Photos: Cathay Pacific's First Class Menu by Mandarin Oriental San Francisco
Once you fly in First Class, on a long-haul international flight, it's quite difficult to return to coach on another flight having tasted what's on offer in the front of the plane. This is especially true for First passengers on Cathay Pacific, not only because the First Class seats were recently updated and remain a flyer favorite, but because the airline enjoys showing off in the in-flight dining department.
For 2015, Cathay Pacific's big treats for First Class travelers are monthly menus designed by Executive Chefs from Mandarin Oriental properties around the world. We already gave you an exclusive preview of the MO New York February meals, but now it's time for March and Mandarin Oriental San Francisco.

SFO's Secret Passage is a New Temptation for Terminal 1 Travelers
For travelers flying out of Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport the options are pretty limited for dining and entertainment and, to make matters worse, the Delta Sky Club is located before the security checkpoint. Those stuck with this situation are traveling on AirTran, Delta, Frontier and Southwest.
At least they were stuck with it, as the good news arrives that SFO has opened up a new passageway connecting the boring and bland Terminal 1 with the contemporary and cool Terminal 2. We have a whole tag tied in with T2 at SFO, and we love everything about T2's shiny digs, from the bathroom and yoga room to the free WiFi and plentiful electrical outlets (not to mention a food court with a Pinkberry).

Where and When to Join in the SF Giants World Series Victory Celebration
Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants, as last night in Kansas City they defeated the Royals 3 to 2—and took home their third World Series title in the last five years.
Now it's time to celebrate over in San Francisco, as the city is getting ready to welcome home the champions. With all these victories in the last few years they know how to throw a party, and it sounds like the celebration and parade is scheduled for this Friday, October 31. That just happens to be Halloween, which is perfect, as the Giants love both orange and black.
We're sure more and more details will trickle out during the day, but here's what you need to know to start planning things. The parade is going to star right at noon—local time—over at Market and Steuart streets, and then things will travel down Market Street. The shindig will end at Civic Center Plaza, and we can only expect lots of ticker tape, cheering, celebrating, and general merriment.

Golden Gate Bridge Tolls Would Hurt SF Tourism
If you've been to San Francisco there's little doubt that the Golden Gate Bridge was on your travel to-do list, and rightfully so—it's pretty darn snazzy. Taking things to the next level involves actually getting out of the car and walking or biking across the bridge, but it sounds like there are plans to monetize that experience.
Nothing is official as of yet, but city officials are kicking around the idea of charging tolls to both pedestrians and cyclists making their way across the bridge. We don't want to get political—nor would we know what we're talking about—but it was a close vote. So now what they're going to do is study things to see what kind of impact the tolls would have, and also likely how much cash they could raise. We'd imagine that bridge is pretty expensive to maintain.

San Francisco Welcomes the Plush Seats, Posh Meals of JetBlue Mint
If there's one question we've heard over and over since the launch of JetBlue's Mint premium class earlier this year, it's "when will it fly to San Francisco?"
The answer arrived this last Sunday, literally, in the form of a JetBlue A321. This milestone marks the beginning of regular Mint service between JFK and SFO, which comes in addition to the original route of JFK-LAX begun in June.
**21 original photos of the JetBlue Mint seats and service**
Mint seats start at $599 each way, and include custom extras specifically for JetBlue Mint passengers. These include a full, hot meal from NYC's Saxon + Parole, a special customer service line, an amenity kit by Birchbox, a comfy pillow and duvet, and a fully flat bed for optimum nappage.
To book Mint between JFK and LAX or JFK and SFO, simply search your preferred dates on JetBlue.com and look for the green column of Mint fares.

There's a New Reason to Revisit Alcatraz This Winter
If you've been to San Francisco before, you've probably taken a trip out to Alcatraz, one of the world's most infamous golden cages. If the beautiful city views and deep history aren't enough to bring you back for a second visit, the fact that the prison has been taken over by an art exhibit may entice.
At the end of September, a Chinese artist - who is coincidentally under house arrest at the moment - launched a seven-installation exhibit called "@Large: Ai Weiwei at Alcatraz." The installations are found throughout Alcatraz and carry a theme of "protest songs." The most attention-getting exhibit has arguably been one called Trace, which features 176 portraits made of Lego bricks, each presenting "an individual who has been imprisoned or exiled because of his or her beliefs, actions, or affiliations."

San Fran's Crooked Lombard Street to Close Certain Weekends This Summer
Bad news for those with plans to visit San Francisco this summer: The city announced yesterday that it will close Lombard Street, perhaps the most famous crooked road in the world, on certain weekends this summer.
According to reports, the local board received many complaints from residents about tourism on the street, citing traffic congestion and overcrowding that disrupts daily life. Tourists line up to drive and walk down the street, which gains its popularity from its steep grade, tight turns, expensive real estate, and beautiful views.

How to Get (Last Chance) Tickets to San Francisco's Outside Lands Music Festival
The Outside Lands Music Festival returns to San Francisco August 8 - 10 and there's just one last chance for tickets.
The annual festival brings together dozens of bands, local visual artists, wineries, breweries, and restaurants for three days in Golden Gate Park. With a lineup including Kanye West, Tegan & Sara, Death Cab For Cutie, Macklemore, and more than 70 other acts, it's no great surprise that General Admission tickets and most VIP Passes to the fest have sold out in less than two weeks.

Avoid Summer Construction at SFO and Consider Another Bay Area Airport
We hope you've already starting planning your summer vacation, and that the mad search for affordable and attractive airfare has already been initiated. If you're planning to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area this summer you've probably started to check out options to and from the city's main airport—SFO. However, just be aware that you might want to check out some of the other airports in and around the area as well.
Obviously the more options there are the better chance of a deal, but what we're most concerned about are potential delays over at San Francisco International Airport. Constriction work is arriving sooner than later, and the airport will be forced to close down two of its four runways between May 17 and the middle of September. Add in some of the area's well-known weather—fog—and you're all set for an extended delay arriving or departing the city.

No Other Paper Plane Can Equal This Project
The photos and videos below do all the talking in regards to this story, so we'll just quickly fill in the background for you: A 22-year-old San Francisco student Luca Iaconi-Stewart has spent the last six years making the mother of all paper airplanes out of about 400 manila folders. It is currently four-feet long and it will be three and a half feet across once he finishes the wings.
The plane is being kept in a secret location, but we're guessing it will wind up on display somewhere once it is complete. You can read more here, including specific details of the construction. Apparently, each of the first-class suites took eight hours to build! Given the time commitment, we're guessing this guy is not in a relationship...

This Week is the Opening of SFO's New and Improved 'T3E'
Unfortunately, the folks over at Yankee Candle have yet to concoct a creation that features new airport smell, so that means we need to enjoy the opportunity to breathe in fresh airport terminal air whenever it arises. That chance is this week, as San Francisco International Airport is busy putting the final touches on its latest terminal revamp and renovation. It held a public event over the weekend to check things out, but it's officially open to flyers beginning tomorrow.
The new additions are happening at the airport's Terminal 3, as the new slice of the airport is Boarding Area E—they're calling it T3E for short. It's where a lot of United flyers will depart and arrive, so passengers with United stamped across their boarding passes will be the ones enjoying the new restaurants and amenities.

Charles Ellison: How Mandela changed African politics
Of course, there's quite a bit of work still to do on the beleaguered continent of civil wars, blood diamonds and greedy despots. But, there are massive bright spots that get little attention in the press. There are stable, prosperous middle-class societies such as Botswana, and there are emerging megastates such as the plan by Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi to form a powerful, politically unified East African Federation, which will tie the economies into one currency.
These trends appeared to escalate and take off during the era of Mandela, as he embraced democratic governance models, hastily dismissing any scent of the autocratic rule that's gripped African nation-states for so long. Mandela's true calling may have been the 21st-century brand of leadership he introduced to Africa at the end of the 20th.
Ellison is Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia Tribune and chief political correspondent for Uptown magazine.

Conn. tribal gambling company expands into NJ
Bailey said Tuesday that he and Dennis Gomes began searching for a management partner soon after they bought Resorts.
Last month, Resorts announced another new venture, teaming with Jimmy Buffett to develop a Margaritaville-branded entertainment complex in part of the casino. The Mohegan Sun's Connecticut casino, which opened in 1996, already has a Buffett-themed restaurant.
James Kamel, a casino industry analyst, said he expects Atlantic City's 12 casinos to undergo consolidations. By being in the city, he said, Mohegan sets itself up to be a player when that happens.
And UNLV's Schwartz said the price is probably right for the company. Buying into an existing casino he said, is far more affordable than buying one whole.

Mr. Torres was pronounced dead on scene.
Ms. Dinius was taken to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center with "incapacitating injuries," according to the Highway Patrol.
Both riders were wearing helmets.
The crash remains under investigation.

It's a technical neccesity with the fine sanddust of australia, a paper filter would clog up verry fast, and would let more micronsised particles truogh.
A oiled foam filter works by not really filtering the air, but by letting the air change direction in sharp corners, so the sand particles (and other junk) effectivily are flying out of the corners in the filter and get cought on the sticky surface, so you get cleaner and in time more air into your engine.
Actually a dutch invention, made to a huge succes in the 70's by Twin-Air in the cross-scene, and basing on the ageold centifugal filter like you find in the Honda 350 of the 70's for the oil, it costs a little more time then just putting in a new paperfilter, but longivity wise its better, but only if cleaned and oiled *regularly* according to usage, if your doing extensive sandblasting every day with the bike check it every week, if your a road rider every other small maintenance.
ANd about the heated grips, take a look at the
Hein Gericke offering
, its a nice 4 grades heating controlled with a pushswitch control with colored leds so even in darkness well adjustable.
Bit bulky leads, but nice and warm even at -20 like last winter over here, and just 40€.

Things are getting super serious between Paris Hilton and her beau Cy Waits. They were reportedly spotted engagement ring shopping in New York on Friday.
The couple, who is about to celebrate their one year anniversary, stopped by Jacob & Co. and looked at several different sparklers including a rare 30-carat blue diamond. Man, that sounds nice!
Paris left the store with a $25,000 black diamond encrusted ring for her 30th birthday. Cy also bought her a $375,000 Lexus last week. Talk about a generous boyfriend!
Paris told the New York Post newspaper: "We've talked about it (getting engaged). This is once in a lifetime. I want to be with him forever. And Cy has great taste. He just bought me a beautiful sports car."
I can just imagine how extravagant the wedding will be. Forget the royal wedding, how do I score an invite to Paris'?

Kendrick, Kanye, Drake, they all act feminine
Wear a lot of clothes you usually see women in
from Papoose – Control (Freestyle) Lyrics on Genius
Pap is taking aim at Kendrick, Drake and Kanye's designer digs.
Typically, the desire for high-end fashion is often viewed as a feminine thing.
Just take a look at one of Kanye's infamous get ups:
Also, beyond the fact of rocking designer, Drake's music is often feminine in subject matter. His newest track and first official single off his upcoming album is a perfect example.
Pretty bold Pap, pretty bold…

Thomas Jefferson Davis, Democratic candidate for Ohio's 90th District — currently occupied by Dr. Terry Johnson — says he would like to see common sense brought back to state government. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Times on Thursday, Davis talked about growing up in the east end of Portsmouth, and the value system he grew up in.
"There was accountability," Davis said. "You not only cut your own grass or shoveled your own sidewalk, but if you had elderly neighbors or a widow, you cut their grass and shoveled their snow too. Your father expected you to do it"
Thom Davis, of Franklin Furnace, a locomotive engineer by trade, was recently re-elected to the Green Local School District Board of Education, and has been active in Four-H for around 10 years, and involved in volunteer firefighting for about 20 years. For a number of years he has also been involved in Operation Lifesaver, the railroad's safety education program.
Davis said he has been thinking about running for about five years, but decided to put it off for personal reasons.
"My children were still probably too young at that time to run," Davis said. "I wanted to make sure my children had a good footing in education and the founding years with dad at home constantly. Working for the railroad you're gone half of your life anyway, so the more that you can dedicate to your family and qualify family time is what this meant to me. I just wanted to be sure that at the pinnacle moments I was there for the kids."
Davis said he has been looking at the direction the state of Ohio is going in making his decision to run.
"We see state budgets with local government cuts, and it effects education," Davis said. "We see what the state spends. Last year the Columbus Dispatch quoted the figure of $728 million in online, ECOT and charter schools like that, which, in turn, hurts local education, because they're (public schools) not receiving as much state funding. So, what do we do? We run property tax levies and we increase property taxes on people. That hurts everybody. It hurts the small business owner."
Davis said a bed and breakfast owner in Franklin Furnace told him his property taxes went up $600 last year.
"He realizes the school needs the money to be able to operate, but that $600 on a small business is a tough break," Davis said. "especially when you are already paying the bulk in state taxes anyway, either through employees or through a business."
Davis said an 11.1 percent unemployment rate in Scioto County is unacceptable.
"We have seen very few public works projects with expansions," Davis said. "We've had the one at Rosemount, and there's currently a waterline expansion in Franklin Furnace, but really when you look at the shape of our roads, you can't even drive through New Boston. The road is falling apart."
He said another need is for the ability for companies to locate in Scioto County.
"We've got everything in place," Davis said. "We've got world class workers here. Their abilities are second to none and they're ready to go to work."
Davis is married to Kathy Kitts Davis, and they are the parents of Brittney, 24, a senior at Shawnee State University, and Ciera, a sophomore at Green High School.
