Over at ABC News, Justin Rood reports that in addition to the leaks from the White House to back Gonzales, from Gonzales and from Minority Leader Boehner, now we have a very striking leak of highly classified information from Rep. Pete Hoekstra. And most interestingly, the leak was published by the New York Post. Both Hoekstra and the Post have been in the vanguard of calling for investigations into and punishment of leakers of highly classified information–themselves excluded, of course.
In an opinion article published in the New York Post Thursday, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., reported the top-secret budget for human spying had decreased–the type of detail normally kept under wraps for national security reasons.
"The 2008 Intelligence Authorization bill cut human-intelligence programs," Hoekstra wrote in the piece, in which he also criticized "leaks to the news media."
Formerly the chairman of the intelligence committee, Hoekstra is now its highest ranking Republican. In its recent budget authorizations, that committee kept from public view all figures and most discussion of spending on such classified items as human spying.
Don't expect any enforcement action, however. Investigations are launched only when the leak suspect is thought to be a critic or opponent of the administration. And Hoekstra is as loyal a Bushie as you'll ever find.

It is very hard to extract some sort of enduring positive gain from dharma practice without taking a really thorough look at your own mind. The first step is a very close look at the nature of suffering: seeing what suffering is and getting to know our own suffering. It is through that deep intimacy with our own suffering that there is liberation.

Liberation Through SufferingDaily Dharma for July 02, 2015
The Acknowledgment of Suffering Is a Gift
As the early Buddhist teachings freely admit, the predicament is that the cycle of birth, aging, and death is meaningless. They don't try to deny this fact and so don't ask us to be dishonest with ourselves or to close our eyes to reality. As one teacher has put it, the Buddhist recognition of the reality of suffering—so important that suffering is honored as the first noble truth—is a gift, in that it confirms our most sensitive and direct experience of things, an experience that many other traditions try to deny.Daily Dharma for July 03, 2015
American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom, civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment, it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics, to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It is ethics.Daily Dharma for July 04, 2015

Is Meditation Enough?We all have preconceptions, we all have points of view. Not only do we have ideas, but we have opinions and countless judgments, especially about other people. We may hope to free ourselves from such a tangle, but usually what we find is that we just exchange one set of preconceptions for another. The practice of mindfulness-awareness meditation does not take place in a vacuum. It happens within a certain context and point of view. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is often presented in the context of view, meditation, and action. Each of these three is essential, as a system of checks and balances. More »

How Empty is Emptiness?To open the door so that you can really see inside yourself isn't easy, but it's something you can train yourself to do. If you have the mindfulness enabling you to read yourself and understand yourself, that cuts through a lot of issues right there. Craving will have a hard time forming. In whatever guises it arises, you'll get to read it, to know it, to extinguish it, to let it go. More »

Why Do We Bow?Many people have this question the minute they walk into the zendo and are told to make full prostrations to the Buddha image on the altar. They come with an idea that Zen is beyond words and letters, beyond religion, beyond rules, beyond piety, and so the idea of such a thorough-going and outrageous display of what seems like religious fervor seems quite disturbing to them.

There comes a time, monks, there comes an occasion, when this universe, after a long stretch of time, begins to re-evolve once more, and while it is re-evolving certain beings, in order to achieve the extinction of existence and karma... are born in this world. These beings are self-luminous, move through space, are made of mind, feed on joy, abide in a state of bliss, and go wherever they wish. That, monks, is the appropriate condition of these beings who are self-luminous, move through space, are made of mind, feed on joy, abide in a state of bliss, and go wherever they wish.

Film: 'Arasangam'; Cast: Vijaykanth, Navneet Kaur, Biju Menon and Rahul Dev. Direction: Madhesh; Music: Srikant Deva. Stars: **
Chennai, May 10 (IANS) Actor-turned-politician Vijaykanth predictably utters punch lines galore interpretable by his fans as verbal brownie points scored against bigger political opponents in 'Arasangam' (government).
This Madhesh-directed venture accords legislator Vijaykanth a free hand to exhibit enough brains and brawn to trigger endorsement from a rural audience.
Vijaykanth plays 'Arivarasu' - a name that translates into English as 'monarch of intelligence' - heading a police training academy and living a nondescript, happily married (wife played by Punjab import Navneet Kaur, wasted) existence.
Extricated from mothballs following the murder of vital scientists and entrepreneurs who have created a pathbreaking invention to help India and the kidnap of a vital police officer-cum-brother-in-law Manoj (Biju Menon, adequate), Arivarasu is asked to solve the mysteries.
Instead of being another Rambo, Arivarasu uses his brain, traipses around Canada where he is assisted by Lara, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer (Seril Brindo), rescues Manoj and extricates the nation's future from the baddies headed by Chandru (Rahul Dev, no surprises) eventually.
Vijaykanth acts his age and puts in a spirited performance. The action is slickly choreographed by 'Rocky' Rajesh.
Director Madhesh has arrayed enough scantily clad females to entertain the frontbenchers.
In a word, 'Arasangam' is a treat for diehard Vijaykanth fans thanks to a passably decent screenplay.

The table of contents for RogerEbert.com's complete coverage of AFI Docs 2015.
Right after "Airport" came out, somebody suggested a low-budget remake named "Carport." It would have involved six people trapped inside a runaway Volkswagen bus with a maniac at the wheel and a midget in the glove compartment with a cherry bomb. After seeing "The Poseidon Adventure," I think it would have worked. There's no way the formula can fail.
First, you gotta have a mode of transportation. This time it's an ocean liner. Then you gotta have a situation fraught with peril. "Poseidon" has that, too: "My God, I've never seen anything like it," the first mate gasps. "A gigantic wall of water - heading directly for the ship!" It hits at precisely midnight on New Year's Eve, and splish, splash, they're takin' a bath.
Everyone is in the ballroom, neatly divided into key ethnic groups, walks of life and former Oscar winners. When the ship turns over, Gene Hackman engineers an escape attempt. He takes the large Christmas tree (conveniently constructed of aluminum tubing) and turns it into a ladder, so that the passengers can escape from the ceiling of the ballroom by climbing to the floor. Then the idea is to make their way up the down staircase, until they get to the back of the ship. See, the steel in the hull back there is only an inch thick. Talk about luck.
Anyway, everybody is sloshing around on the ceiling of the ballroom, but Hackman manages to get the other four Oscar winners and the six other movie stars up the Christmas tree. He desperately pleads with the other passengers to follow his lead, but they refuse. Hell, I knew they would. They were only extras.
It is now time for a number of obligatory things to happen. Hackman, as the righteous liberal minister, has to have a confrontation with Ernest Borgnine, the tough cop. Then Borgnine has to reassure his wife, Stella Stevens, who plays a former prostitute, that no one on board could possibly recognize or remember her. Then Jack Albertson, as Manny, and Shelley Winters, as Belle, have to say several Yiddish words and refer to Israel and their grandchildren a couple of times, until we catch on they're Jewish.
Then we look around for the black, but there isn't one this time. There is a kid brother, though. As soon as Gene Hackman tells everyone to stay put, his job is to wander off and get lost. You know how these things work. There's also a shy bachelor and a girl without any self-confidence, and the bachelor helps the girl to regain her confidence, and in the process, they discover themselves. You know.
While all of this is taking place, Shelley Winters reveals that she was the underwater swimming champion of the Young Woman's Hebrew Assn. (or maybe the New York Park District) several decades ago. She has put on a little weight since then, about 100 pounds, but she still wears her first-place gold medal around her neck. What do you think the odds are that, sooner or later, we are going to see her swimming underwater in this movie) Would you say excellent?
It isn't enough, of course, for our band to fight their way through the bowels of the ship. They have to fight each other, too. And it is important that they stop every now and then - especially when explosions are rocking the ship and the water is creeping higher - in order to discuss the meaning of what they are doing. These discussions usually involve a fatalist ("I'm staying here; I don't care if I die,") and a defender of the life force ("You can DO it. Just dare to take the first step.")
This is a wonderful formula. I love it. "The Poseidon Adventure" is the kind of movie you know is going to be awful, and yet somehow you gotta see it, right? They ought to be honest in the ads: Cornier than "Airport!" More cliches than "Grand Hotel!" The most character actors in small roles since "Flight of the Phoenix!" Bigger ups and downs than the elevator in "Hotel!"
See! Shelley Winter's left thigh! Hear! Ernest Borgnine say, "Do you mean to tell me . . .?" Thrill! To Stella Stevens taking off her blouse to use as a bandage! Weep!

You certainly should borrow the funds in the event you've got an emergency, such as you get a flat tire on your vehicle, and you cannot get to work. The procedure takes less than ten minutes for an answer and your loan files will be emailed to you personally.

The very best internet price is so going to be one that not only works with your budget, but that allows you to select on the sum you desire to borrow, select the payment date, when paying things back and even have a bit of wiggle room. And there are many of these sites that are legitimate and valid. They are free of duties and free of cost. The children will get a bang out of having Mother and Father join the splashing cool off.
Becoming one of the top ten websites will not compare to acquiring easy online payday loans and this has more to do with promotion for search engine results. They give you instant cash whenever needed, the right away. Direct lenders have the authority to quickly approve your loan, fund your loan and service it as well. Borrowing money from an internet lender is consistently very expensive compared to the retail loan organisations.

You will also need to prepare the most recent utility bill to prove your residence.

South Korean Box Office: Period Action Film 'Kundo' Has Biggest Opening of Year
The star-studded project earned $23.7 million over the weekend, beating the opening figures for "Transformers 4."
SEOUL — South Korean period-action film Kundo: Age of the Rampant had a record opening for 2014 at the local box office, bringing in more than $23.7 million in the first five days of its release.
This beat the year's previous opening record set by Transformers: Age of Extinction, which had reached $22.4 million.
Kundo has so far had 3 million admissions as of Monday, reaching that milestone three days earlier than the latest Transformers film. South Korea uses admissions as its primary box-office measure.
PHOTOS Korea Box Office 2013: Top 10 Movies
Kundo also recorded the highest grossing opening day in Korean box-office history (550,000 admissions on Wednesday, July 23), beating the longstanding score of 544,000 admissions set by Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, in 2011.
Over the weekend, Kundo accounted for 61.5 percent of total tickets sold in the country, bringing in 2.11 million admissions.
The newly opened How to Train Your Dragon 2 came in second at $7.45 million, followed by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which has so far grossed $29.18 million in its South Korean run.
Local action title The Divine Move continued to perform strongly despite being rated R ($27.62 million so far) in the fourth spot, while Transformers 4 ranked in sixth place after Japanese horror flick JU-ON: The Beginning of the End.
PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
Directed by Yoon Jong-bin and featuring a star-studded cast, including popular actor Ha Jung-woo, Kundo is about a group of Robin Hood-like bandits stealing from corrupt aristocrats to give to the poor during the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910).
Distributed by Showbox/Mediaplex, the film made a successful market premiere at Cannes earlier this year and was presold to multiple territories across North America, Europe and Asia. Well Go USA will distribute the film in North America.

In this thought-provoking tale reminiscent of Seuss, Farmer McPhee finds a red lemon in his orchard and cries, "It's red as a stop sign! It's red as a rose! I can't have red lemons where yellow fruit grows! Imagine a world where lemonade's red? Where once-yellow cupcakes are crimson instead?" As he tosses the red lemon across the water, he can't imagine that it will land on a small island, sprout a seed, and someday bring forth an orchard of lemon trees...where people will travel to from all over, to try the red lemons that are "six times as sweet!"
From the Hardcover edition.
A gorgeously graphic picture book filled with sparkling, sherbety colors and wonderfully contrasting shapes finds the very round Farmer McPhee shocked by a red lemon in his yellow orchard. In a fever, he tosses the offending fruit onto a distant island, where something very surprising occurs centuries later. A 2006 New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.

By Rodrigo Perez , March 1, 2003
Spoon frontman Britt Daniel and I are at Kim's Music in New York, where I'm forcing him through an arduous assignment: asking him to identify records and explain how they relate to his personal life. Over the phone Daniel was hesitant about the idea, but when we met, he was very mild-mannered and affable, if a bit shy. It eventually became clear that this project wasn't something he wasn't very keen on, but he endured my invasiveness with good nature.
Pitchfork: Find a record that makes you nostalgic for your youth.
Britt: The Cure, Seventeen Seconds. I got this and the Faith disc both together on a double vinyl which I believe they called ...Happily Ever After , in high school. Seventeen Seconds is just one of my all time favorite albums. I think everything the Cure did up until The Head On The Door , is pretty amazing. This one's just a really good be-depressed high school record.
Pitchfork: A record that is criminally overlooked.
Britt: The Eurythmics' soundtrack to 1984. It's totally overlooked, I don't know if anyone even remembers that record. I love the Eurythmics' singles, but I don't really love any of their albums all the way through, except for this one. It's just really affecting and in my opinion really ahead of its time. They seemed to really loosen up and just throw this thing together relatively quickly. It was right around that time when everyone was discovering the Lindrum-- one of the very first drum machines. It kind of sounds like the Eurythmics meets Prince circa 1999.
Pitchfork: A record that reminds you of falling either in or out of love.
Britt: Cat Power, Moon Pix.
Pitchfork: Do you have anything else to say about that?
Britt: No.
Pitchfork: Ok, then find a record you would rescue if your house was on fire.
Britt: The Zombies, Odyssey and Oracle. Or the Kinks, Face to Face. Just amazing songs by rock bands that were at their peaks.
Pitchfork: Did they influence your songwriting?
Britt: The Kinks? Definitely.
Pitchfork: A record that helps facilitate your anger.
Britt: The Fall, Grotesque .
Pitchfork: You just picked that because its right in front of you!
Britt: Well...it's a good one. It's right in front of me, but it's a great record. I put this record on when my mom comes over. Usually, whenever my mom would come over I would try and put on music that I thought she would like just to make her feel more at ease. The last couple times I put on the Fall just to see what would happen.
Pitchfork: What record do you listen to as a guilty pleasure?
Britt: Well, definitely not Thursday (Britt picks ups their CD, Five Stories Falling and starts to inspect it, then furrows his brow as he read the advertisement on it). "A Joy Division, Smiths-like darkness?" Really. You know, I don't really believe in guilty pleasures because I think that you should like whatever you think is good, but I think I know what you mean by your question. Maybe Fleetwood Mac's Tusk would be a good one, but I don't feel guilty about it. It's just a great record, but people don't think Fleetwood Mac is cool, I guess. I think Rumours is a great record too.
Pitchfork: A record you wish you made.
Britt: Bright Eyes, Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground. This new Bright Eyes record is really good. I wish I could write lyrics like Conor. It's one of my favorite records from this year.
Pitchfork: Another record that makes you feel like you're in love.
Britt: I want to change my earlier record that makes me feel like falling in love or whatever it was. Falling in love is Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde and feeling sad from love should be Cat Power's Moon Pix.
Pitchfork: A record that makes you feel happy to be alive.
Britt: The Stooges' Raw Power. Well... or the Clash, London Calling . Don't ask me why. [laughs]
Pitchfork: A record that gives you a peace of mind.
Britt: Neil Young, After The Gold Rush .
Pitchfork: A record that influences you, but people would never know it.
Britt: The Young People, The Young People.
At this point it appears Britt is running out of patience, so I cut the exercise short and suggest we go get something to eat and continue the interview in a restaurant. He agrees.
Pitchfork: So you guys are doing some TV performances for the first time in your career. Is this a big deal for you?
Britt: We're doing Carson Daly tomorrow and Conan O'Brien on Wednesday. Big deal? Sure.
Pitchfork: How did the collaboration with Connor from Bright Eyes come about?
Britt: I've known Conor for a number of years and it was suggested that we both contribute 2 or 3 songs to a split EP. I wanted to do it cause I like Conor and mentioned it to him, but he sort of came to think that I'd meant that we record it together or something-- I'm not sure-- which was a better idea anyhow, so we ended up doing it that way.
Pitchfork: What happened with the aborted recording sessions for Kill The Moonlight ?
Britt: Well, we recorded for about a week and a half last October, and then we had to stop because we were going out on tour. I don't think I had to even wait until we got back from tour, I just knew that it wasn't sounding the way I wanted it to. A large part of that was my fault, because I don't think we had the songs ready. Some of them we kept and some of them we scrapped; we basically started all over again in January. Some of it was the songs, some of it was the sounds and in general it just wasn't out there enough. It was a little too straightforward.
Pitchfork: So was making it more "out there" something you consciously wanted to do?
Britt: Well, I don't think we thought about it that way. When I listened to those tapes from last October, I felt like it just wasn't thrilling me and we needed to do something that was a little different from what we'd done before.
Pitchfork: When I told people I was going to interview you, a few friends mentioned things like, "he doesn't like indie-rock at all." Is that fair to say?
Britt: Everyone has their definition of indie-rock, and by some definitions, what we do is indie-rock. I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing. But by that definition, it's not really a genre, it's just a term of the marketplace. And that's a term that I can understand, but years ago people started talking to me about indie-rock as a genre. They would ask me, "Do you like indie-rock?" Implying that that was a genre. It's really hard to talk about because when you talk about soul, you know what somebody means by a "soul" record, or an "R&B" record. But "indie", there's a snobbery attached to it, and it's also just not very defined. I think that's because it's a commerce driven term.
Pitchfork: What's the title of Kill The Moonlight in reference to?
Britt: We were just looking for a good title...it was the title of a Futurist manifesto and we liked it. I didn't think any of the lyrics on the album would make a good title by themselves. The Futurists were an art movement in the early 20th century which basically glorified machines and the industrial revolution.
Pitchfork: What about some of the songs. Who's "Jonathan Fisk" based on? There seems to be some resentment there.
Britt: Just this guy who beat me up in middle school relentlessly. The kind of guy that would roll your house and shoe polish your driveway. You know, and make fun you of in the cafeteria, and try and harass you after school on the way home.
Pitchfork: So would you say your lyrics are more fictional or based on life experiences?
Britt: They're both. Some of them are autobiographical and some of them aren't. That one is, but a lot of the songs on Kill The Moonlight are not.
Pitchfork: What are your thoughts on downloading music, and the RIAA crackdown? Do you think file sharing has had an impact on bands like yours?
Britt: I'm into it, I'm into MP3's; I think there's no way you're ever going to be able to legislate people having to buy a record in order to listen to it. You have to look at it as a means of promotion and if the music is good enough, promotion is a good thing.
Pitchfork: Did you ever use Napster or similar programs?
Britt: Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm all for it.
Pitchfork: I'm wondering what your parents think about the career path you've chosen.
Britt: They're supportive. They'd probably prefer that I'd be doing something else, but they're very supportive. They're good guys.
Pitchfork: They like the band then?
Britt: Oh, I don't know about that. They liked Girls Can Tell.
Pitchfork: I was talking to Dan Bejar from Destroyer, who's also on Merge, and when I asked him if he can make a living from what he does and he said, "No, not really." Do you guys make a living off what you do?
Britt: No. No. I mean, right now [the tour] has helped. I don't have time for anything else and I'm making a few bucks when we tour, but it's not… it's enough to pay rent basically, for a few months, and then I've got to go do something else.
Pitchfork: You did a cover of Yo La Tengo's "Decora" a couple years ago. How did that come about?
Britt: There was going to be this Yo La Tengo tribute album, and all these bands were asked to turn in records by a certain deadline and I think we might've been the only band that did. I don't think the compilation ever came out, and we needed a B-Side, so that was it.
Pitchfork: So you've bounced between a lot of labels. Are you more stable now?
Britt: Well, I like dealing with Merge the most. I liked things about all [the other] labels [Matador, Elektra], but I just don't really think about it that much. Merge is a great label, I really like them. I think that they're a great American record label.
Pitchfork: What's your favorite song on Kill The Moonlight , and why?
Britt: I have maybe four or five of them that are my favorites; "Stay Don't Go", "Vittorio E", "Someone Something", and "Back to the Life".
Pitchfork: Was it fun taking those songs and stretching them, experimenting with them in the studio?
Britt: Yeah, you have to do that or you're going to get bored or make a boring record. When we were making this record, my idea was to make it a loose record. Like when you listen to London Calling by the Clash, it just seems like they were having a party in the studio, voices popping up here and there, beginnings and ends of songs just go on for a while...that's what I wanted it to sound like, like we were having fun. And it was really was a fun record to make. We really had a good time.
Pitchfork: Were there cases of messing with songs and the results not working?
Britt: Yeah, "Jonathan Fisk" we tried about four different ways. It originally started out as an acoustic song, on acoustic guitar, and after trying it all these different ways and not really feeling that it worked, I finally was just like, "We should do this one live in a room." The way we talked about it was garage rock. I don't know if it sounds garage rock but...yeah, we recorded that one in one room, live. You can hear the engineer-- we had done about 13 takes-- trying to psyche us up. "Don't Let It Get You Down" could have turned out better I think, it's not as good on the record as it is on the demo, the 4-track version.
Pitchfork: Have you started writing for the next album?
Britt: I've been jotting down ideas. It's gonna be like Marvin Gaye meets Iggy Pop. I'm the new Chrissie Hynde.
Pitchfork: Do you think you'll try and push the technology a bit more? You seemed to flirt with it a little on this record.
Britt: I don't know about that. We really just used a loop on that "Stay Don't Go" and that was kind of a unique situation that was just kind of like a lucky accident.
Pitchfork: What about "Paper Tiger"? There's some weird key stuff going on, those fluttering sounds.
Britt: De-de-de-de-deee [mimics the fluttering sound] . Yeah, that's a backward delay on a drum machine.
Pitchfork: Do you write more on keyboards or on the guitar?
Britt: I've been trying to do both. The last two songs written for this record were written on keyboards. After that October [2001] recording session that we didn't feel went so well, I ended up with three more songs: the one I did with Conor, and "Small Stakes" and "The Way We Get By", which I wrote on piano. They ended up being the first two songs on the record.
Pitchfork: Have you always played piano?
Britt: I've kind of gotten better and better at it. I still can't play very well, but I did play on the record. But they had to stop the tape machine a lot.
Pitchfork: Do you like listening to your own records?
Britt: I don't often want to listen to "Don't Let It Get You Down", but I really do like listening to most our records. Not every day or anything, but if I put it on I'll like it. I think it's a bad sign if you've made a record and you don't want to listen to it; it can be healthy to get past a record and move on to other things, but I think that there are also a lot of people who just don't like listening to their own records and I think that's dangerous. To me the best bands are the ones that make music first and foremost for themselves.
Pitchfork: For the uninitiated, who's Drake Tungsten?
Britt: That was just a name for some solo records or really, one solo tape and one solo seven inch. A friend of mine suggested the name, I just wanted to have a more interesting name or persona to go under. That was cool for a while and then I stopped doing solo shows for several years. When I started doing them again, I thought I could either do them under my own name and a few people would show up, or I could play as Drake Tungsten and nobody would show up-- so I just stopped using that name. I haven't used it since '96.
Pitchfork: If I can go back to a potentially contentious subject again. The whole Ron Lafitte thing was something the press seemed to really latch on, kind of their favorite way to peg Spoon with.
Britt: Which is why we pretty much don't talk about it anymore.
Pitchfork: What do you think about it when you look back on it all of it now?
Britt: There were some good songs, and couple of funny song titles. We came up with the song titles and they were too funny not to turn into songs, basically. It wasn't done out of angst, it was really just done to make light of this fucked up situation.
Pitchfork: So humor misinterpreted as bitterness basically?
Britt: Yeah, to us it was really just about these song titles. I didn't even come up with the titles, a friend of mine did. We just couldn't ignore them.
Pitchfork: Do you want to tell me about the Faint story related to that?
Britt: You'd have to ask the Faint, I don't really know, I wasn't there. Supposedly they gave Ron Lafitte a copy of that single when they met with him when he was trying to sign the band.
Pitchfork: What was his reaction?
Britt: I don't know. I imagine...[long pause] It's really hard for me to hold grudges in my life and I'm happy with where this band is at now. Even people who I feel have fucked me over, it's hard for me to hold grudges against them. So I don't sit around and harp on about Ron Lafitte. It doesn't...he's just a typical guy in the record industry.

Bio: The Razed are a rock band from the Gothenburg area. Started 2009

The Razed has a show 9th July Backstage Rockbar Varberg
"Hailing from Gothenburg Sweden and playing what they describe as "GRUNGEADELIC SPACEPUNK". The Razed lay claim to being the natural successors to bands such as The Clash and the MC5, and are getting this review of their 11 track debut album simply due to the fact that for once this is a band that actually lives up to such an audacious PR claim. Having had the audacity to post a video link to their band on the Uber Rock Facebook group page, something I must admit that normally send shudders through URHQ, clicking on the link took me through to a video that actually turned out to be this album's opening track. The song 'Energy Transfer' bristling with electricity, driven along by the type of guitar riff that Billy Duffy was dishing out to arenas worldwide during the eighties, and boy what an interesting voice, I was immediately intrigued, and had to hear more."

The Illuminati was made a offer they couldn't refuse.

Well let's hear about that "Offer" and until you elaborate, what you're saying is just JUNK.
GET OVER IT that no one believes you...you haven't posted anything of value other than some drivel about you knowing something that you haven't even stated.
it is simple, thought you would have figured it out by my post.. Hmm.
Well this is the offer, God wants a representative in the Illuminati. I have no idea why but i speculate that God will use this man somehow, to change the future.
This nobody apparently has God's blessing because he is still alive. If any other person did/said the things that this man did/said, they would have been dead in a nano second. Do not doubt the "nwo" has the ability to kill using brainwashing. Nlp,hypnosis and talking to the subconscious directly, it is a effective way to give a person a heart attack you know? The nwo takes no shit, they will wipe any threat, yet this man lives.
I can not elaborate but let's just say this nobody, this little nothing, has balls of steel. In the beginning he was almost wiped, twice. He survived, now much hangs in the balance.
God Almighty OP....seriously? Is this the best you could come up with? Like God needs to negotiate with anyone. HE'S GOD. The illuminati are nothing but a bunch of whore sellout punks who made deals with the darkside to gain and keep their power. God doesn't need to bargain with human shit like that.
What does a good parent do to their spoiled child? First you try to enlighten them right? Then you teach them. When they don't learn the lesson what happens? You have to use different methods. Finally when all is exhausted, you get punished.
God is life, like Jesus he wants to try to salvage what can be salvaged before the long awaited end comes.
Don't ever question God if you don't even know the most basic things about Him.
Everything happens for a reason. in order to give hope to the slaves of the nwo, he sent this nobody. Now revolution hangs in the balance. God made..
Anonymous Coward 960594
Okay OPie, you just BLEW IT. There is NO "jesus"; "he" is a made-up creation of the ROMAN "catholic" pagan "church" and your reference to "him" says that what you're attempting to spill is
Nothing more, nothing less.
Please verify you're human:

The incredible U.S. Girls aka. Illinois-born and Toronto-based artist Meg Remy, will release her new album 'Half Free' via 4AD / Remote Control on Friday 25th September.
The second track to be heard from the album, 'Woman's Work', debuted online, accompanied by another hypnotic video directed and edited by Remy. Following up on the release of the mutant dub of 'Damn That Valley' earlier this year, 'Woman's Work' builds further anticipation and intrigue; Remy has delivered a nagging, arpeggio-laced stormer, picking away at the themes of beauty and neurosis, with a video that examines our collective paralysis in the face of ageing. Watch it below.

Reviewing the $10,000 Ethernet Cable
posted by Kevin Morris
AudioQuest sells a $10,000 Ethernet cable.
The people who buy this cable know why they need it, and it's well worth the extra investment.
"Sure," some may say, "it's just data," but the ones and zeros that arrive at the end of this cable completely transcend binarity. The discerning dataphile will immediately recognize a truth that goes far beyond traditional one-ness, conveying the deeper essence of "true". Ordinary cables throw out flat, unbalanced ones that have no soul, but when your data comes streaming out the end of this cable, you'll notice a new level of warm certainty that you've never felt with any other interface.
Zeros are, quite frankly, the blackest, deepest, emptiest zeros of any cable we've ever tested. When this cable gives you a zero, you can feel the falseness to the very core of your being.
When our testers were evaluating this cable, an odd thing happened. Slowly, they felt their eye diagrams get heavy and begin to close. A deep, restful calm came over their BERT scope display, and they found themselves backing down the transfer rate and just enjoying the ride.
That's an experience no other Ethernet cable could even comprehend.
Five Stars - our highest rating.
Is Someone Tampering with Your IoT?
posted by Bryon Moyer
The stronger the hype, the likelier it will be accompanied by a "yesbut."
A yesbut is that nagging question that needs to be asked in order to kick some critical thinking into gear. "Yes, but what about…?" Hype has a trajectory, however: in the beginning, only the hype sounds; it drowns out the few early-stage yesbuts. Yesbuts are killjoys, and no one wants them at a party. As the hype starts to wear out, however – as the party wanes, as the keg empties – the yesbuts grow in number and can actually be heard.
That's where we are with the Internet of Things (IoT). We've heard about how the IoT will revolutionize our lives, clean up our environment, and provide each family with a unicorn, out of which rainbows will emanate. Or, at the very least, marketers will be better able to target us with ads, something society is clamoring for. Or something in between.
The accompanying yesbut has been consistent: "Yes, but what about security and privacy?" And now it's nothing short of a dull roar.
Given all the attention on IoT security, I had planned an article that would summarize the panoply of IoT security solutions. I had links to various whitepapers and articles that I would use to research the broad range of security solutions out there.
That sounded good until I actually read all the stuff. And most of it simply echoed the yesbut. Everyone was agreeing that security is important and that we need to pay more attention to it. And that someone should do something about it. Few were actually stepping up with solutions. So I realized there wasn't much to survey – yet, anyway – and I dropped the idea.
Except that in the bag of things I thought I had to talk about was a company/product that actually was attempting to help address this. There are actually a couple – my colleague Jim Turley wrote recently about Elliptic Labs tRoot. Today I'll discuss a different one. You know, for when you have that argument in the architecture planning session that goes, "I want the tRoot!" "You can't handle the tRoot!!" (Sorry… I just had to…)
The part I'm focusing on is one mere aspect of an overall security architecture. We're familiar with the need to protect data – both "at rest" (that is, when stored) and "on the move" (when in transit on a network). And we're familiar with the need to authenticate someone knocking on the door before letting them in. All good stuff, but it's not enough.
If the guy knocking is sporting a balaclava and is caressing an assault rifle, well, it's pretty obvious that he shouldn't be admitted. If it's the plumber you scheduled? Well, that's fine; "In you come, and would you like some coffee?"
But really: How much do you trust him (or her)? Unless you watch his every move (something he would hate – as would I), you have this guy roaming around your house, hopefully fixing your plumbing issue. But, when he's done and he leaves the house, is everything running properly? He might have accidentally messed something up – perhaps he neglected to tighten the trap properly, or nicked a gasket that's now leaking. Or he might have maliciously installed a tiny internet camera somewhere.
How would you know? Before suffering the consequences, that is?
Worse yet is if an insider is at fault. Perhaps your teenager is being oblivious – or is subtly exacting revenge for some minor slight, like ruining his/her life – and is perturbing the household in some less-than-benevolent way. With computer systems, Icon Labs says that 70% of threats are from inside the "secure perimeter" – whether accidental or malicious*.
This is the motivation behind the Anti-Tamper module in Icon Labs' Floodgate solution. Yes, you can monitor the packages coming in and going out of the house, and you can make sure the pantry is organized in some inscrutable way so that, even if someone got to it, they wouldn't know what anything was. And you can make sure that the doorman is well compensated and immune to little temptations of cash to look aside. But what if someone has messed with fundamental assets? Created a crack in the foundation, as it were?
There are certain processes and data sets that form the foundation of your system. While it would be nice to make sure everything – all applications and games and whatnot – was pristine, at the very least, this primal stuff has to work or else all other bets are off. This is the trusted zone – the private red room, where the birds sing a pretty song. And most efforts are in making sure no one can get in who doesn't belong there.
(Image courtesy Icon Labs)
But what if you miss someone? The anti-tamper approach is to explicitly identify every resource – every file and every critical process. Everything has a signature. And, inside the system, then, is an inspector, an auditor, that can look around at the environment and ensure that everything is as it should be.
This is, in the preferred embodiment, a combination hardware/software solution. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) silicon IP modules provide hardware hooks that allow for inspection of all of these resources, coupled with software that actually performs the audits. Ideally, you'd include the hardware in your IC, and then the software would be part of your boot routine or could be summoned as needed while running.
If you already have your silicon in place, without the TPM and TEE, then they have a "virtual" vTPM – an all-software implementation that they would consider the next-best thing.
But what if you're super-paranoid and don't even trust that this auditing capability is immune to tampering itself? What if the auditor has been paid to look the other way, as if it were some taudry well-respected financial ratings company? Well, Icon Labs also has a remote audit capability that can be run out of the cloud.
(Image courtesy Icon Labs)
Anti-tamper protection is but one aspect of the larger security strategy, but one that gets less attention. You can read more in their announcement.
*This statistic was offered up during the conversation we had. I note also in the press release an HP study quoted as saying 70% of systems are vulnerable. I checked, and it's just coincidence that these stats are both 70%.

flexible material that can be made to conform to pretty much any shape. While this stretchability is a function of the substrate, its conductivity comes from a marriage between a carbon nanotube (CNT) and a Buckyball into a "nanobud."

The company is Canatu, and they coat flexible plastic substrates via a room-temperature printing process with this CNTish material; that layer can then be patterned according to the application. In their manufacturing process, the nanobuds self-assemble on the CNTs.
The nanobuds appear to help with the conductance. Yes, CNTs can allow ballistic charge transport, but, so far, we can't make inches-long CNTs and line them all up next to each other. So the inks used to print the CNT materials contain short CNT strands (20 µm, which Canatu says is actually long compared to typical CNT inks). The idea is that, as long as these strands touch each other, electrons can travel ballistically as far as they can, and then they hop onto another CNT and continue their journey.
Canatu believes that the nanobuds assist in assuring good contact between adjacent CNTs, improving electron flow. Good density and good contact would be particularly important for a material that is going to stretch (which would increase the average separation between strands).
The following is how Canatu's layers would be integrated into a touch application (like the virtual clipboard shown).*

There's a key distinction between some other touch materials and Canatu's approach: in some other cases, you "pattern" with lines (perhaps fine metal lines), and the lines themselves are the conductors. It can be the opposite here: the coating does the conducting, and lines can be patterned to separate the coating into regions that can then be used to figure out where touch is occurring.
So, for example, a slider may be patterned as chevrons; each chevron slice registers as a finger runs along it. A two-dimensional implementation would use two layers: one striped in the X direction, the other in the Y direction.
But such flat implementations aren't the only ones possible. Canatu has three versions of their material:
- Hi-Contrast: this is intended for flat applications like your basic touchscreen; they claim zero haze and zero reflectance. This is an existing product.
- Flex: this can be applied on 2.5D surfaces (that is, you can bend either in the X or Y direction, but not both). Once applied, it can be flexed in any direction. It also shares the clear characteristics of the Hi-Contrast product. Also an existing product.
- In-Mold: this has been newly announced, and it's a completely stretchable (up to 120%), moldable, 3D-flexible film that can be applied to most any kind of terrain. The ink is applied on the film while flat, and then the film can be fitted to its surface. It's a bit darker than the other two because it has a different substrate, but if the surface onto which it's applied isn't a screen, then that probably doesn't matter.

Electrically, this touch material looks like ITO, so standard ITO controllers can be used when assembling a system.
As far as cost goes, the flat hi-contrast material is priced just under high-quality ITO. For 2.5D and 3D, there's no ITO competition, so there's less to keep a cap on the cost… But Canatu says that the film isn't the cost limiter in such systems.
