Depending on the capacity of the extractor, the standard height should be between 18 and 30 inches above the cooktop of the stove. Lower capacity extractors should be between 18 and 24 inches above the stove, while higher capacity extractors should be between 24 and 30 inches above the stove.

I went to a reading Mr. McCann did here and everyone spent the evening cooing about Nureyev; I saw him here, we worked together there, seeing him on tv inspired me to........ nobody said a word about how brilliant this book is, least of all Mr. McCann, who seems genuinely surprised by it, as if he awoke one Easter Sunday and discovered each of its pages in baskets hidden in his house.
What's slick about the book is that the presentation reflects the subject. As monumental, as unerringly unique as Nureyev's achievements were, and in spite of his incivility to most of the people he encountered, EVERYONE could relate to him in some very personal way, so the book examines him in short vignettes from the viewpoints of the people around him, some of them historical, some fictional, some not even identified.
At the reading Mr. McCann said that he had made up a name for one of Rudik's teachers, and when he visited the real teacher's grave in Russia, the woman who tended the cemetary had his fictional character's name! Now that's either really remarkable, or it's really first rate blarney; either way I admire him for saying it. It's precisely the risk that great artists are addicted to.
The book shows the immense power of our art form to draw all the threads of history into the fabric of the present and the future. It also demonstrates how a dancer starts with mud, blood, and determination and creates the airiest of fantasies.
Mr. McCann is an ecstatic with his feet firmly on the ground, so Nureyev is the perfect hero for him. One segment, I believe the only one from Rudik's POV (other than his "to do" list), that describes one turn around the stage in about 3 pages (I don't have it here, you will know it when you read it) reminds me of that central chapter in Great Gatsby about the party at Gatsby's house that ends "one girl tosses down a drink for courage, steps onto the floor, and the world flies away...." That is, the descriptive power is so realistic and yet the subject matter is so transcendent that we are launched on a miraculous centripetal joyride into the unknowable. Melville's rapturous, rhythmic descriptions of the sea come to mind too.
Whatever you think of Nureyev you shouldn't miss the experience of reading this book. I personally feel all those "Man of the Century" lists three years back were rendered meaningless by omitting him from nomination, not because of his greatness but because so much of what happened in the 20th century flowed through his life. McCann has given us a work of literature as audacious, entertaining, and pitilessly brilliant as its subject.__________________
Nureyev's "wild and feral" style of dance meshes perfectly with McCann's prose. Paralleling the athleticism and drive of Nureyev, McCann's writing is bold and straightforward, characterized by short, powerful, descriptive sentences, often in a simple subject-verb-object pattern. Avoiding all frills and sentimentality, McCann favors strength over lyricism, and power over prettiness.
Through the first person observations of almost two dozen characters who touched Nureyev's life in some way, McCann shines light on Nureyev's personality and his development as a dancer. His family, teachers, lovers, and even a schoolboy bully, a stilt-walker, and the captain of an airplane, who filed an "incident report" about his atrocious behavior aboard a plane, all comment on his actions and the choices he makes, personally and professionally, as his career soars.
The deprivation and sadness experienced by most of these sensitive observers in their own lives contrasts vividly with the excesses and hedonism of Nureyev's adult life and illuminate, without need for authorial comment, his arrogance and boorishness. At the same time, however, these multiple viewpoints also humanize Nureyev in many ways by showing the extent to which these other characters are connected by love to others and to their history, while Nureyev becomes a "living myth...cared for and coddled and protected by the mythmakers."
Filled with intriguing characters, ranging from simple Russian peasants to Andy Warhol, Tennessee Williams, John Lennon, Truman Capote, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, and the stars of ballet, the novel is a monument to the power of the creative spirit and a testament to the dangers inherent in a life from which all other controls have been removed. Rudi always "tore [a] role open...by the manner in which he presented himself, a sort of hunger turned human." McCann brings this voracious human to life. Nureyev leaps off these pages in a huge and stunning grand jete. Mary Whipple

Respond to Review of Karma Organic Coffee
by veganbarista
Review: This is a great vegetarian cafe with delicious some vegan food as well! I am never disappointed by the food and coffee here! I highly recommend their salads and soups for lunch. They always have at least 1 Vegan cake and at least 1 Gluten Free cake. Unfortunately, these are not usually the same cake, so Vegans who are also GF will probably not find dessert here. There are usually a few GF and Vegan lunch options available, though. They also almost always have soya milk--which is hard to find in Krakow

VIDEO: Bette Midler Chats Memoir & Being 'Devine' on COLBERT
Bette Midler stopped by a recent broadcast of The Colbert Report to chat about the reissue of her memoir, "A View From a Broad," growing up in Hawaii and making a successful career out of being "divine." Check out the appearance below!
Midler recently starred on Broadway in I'll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers in her first Broadway appearance in almost 40 years. She followed it up by bringing the show to the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.
Midler's debut album, 1972's The Divine Miss M set her on the path that has led her to earn Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes and Academy Award nominations in a career that has spanned over 40 years. She has toured the world, sold millions of albums, published two books and appeared in over two dozen films, including The Rose, Beaches, Ruthless People, Hocus Pocus, First Wives Club and For The Boys.
In addition to her work on stage and in films, Bette has made her mark in television, with the Emmy Award-winning CBS special of Ol Red Hair Is Back, and several HBO concerts, Live at Last and Art or Bust, and the Emmy Award-winning Diva Las Vegas. In 1992 she starred in the CBS television adaptation of the musical Gypsy, for which she won both a Golden Globe and the national board of Review award for her performance.

A little experimental box of maple and bloodwood.
This was my first attempt at a box with a pivot-type hinge. Since I didn't have anything like brass rod laying around, I figured a couple of screws would serve the purpose. The holes in the lid are drilled slightly over-sized so the screws aren't really biting into it. Not very elegant, but effective enough.
The finish is BLO, buffed out on the lathe.

i like it charlie, that is what i love about wood working, always a different way to do things, i think the screws turned out fine, and i like the plugs you used for your joinery, ive been using blo for awhile on my boxes, i really like it, it leaves the wood feeling like wood, unless something is really going to have some punishment, no more poly on my boxes…have a good night charlie…

Looks good Charlie. I changed from using brass rods awhile back. I found some 1/8" welding studs that are 2" long and have a head on one end. Perfect for pin hinges. I always use a plug to hide then and keep them from coming out.

+ - GM Embeds Teen Tracking App in New Malibu ->
Lucas123 writes: GM announced 2016 models of the Chevy Malibu will offer a Teen Driver tracking application that will monitor everything from driving speed to the number of times the anti-lock braking mechanism was used while their kids were in the car. Upon return, a parent can bring up a "report card" on the head unit screen and see the top speed, stability control events, antilock brake events, forward collision alerts, among other things. The new feature can be enabled on Chevy's MyLink in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system and can be accessed via a password by parents. The Teen Driver alert system will not only monitor activity, but also alert and restrict certain activities, such as driving without a seat belt — try it and the music system will be muted. The Teen Driver system also gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle is traveling faster than speeds preset by a parent.

Just a point of clarification: EA already owned Origin when UO was launched. It fact, it was EA that green-lighted the research project that UO developed from. This isn't to say EA hasn't made mistakes with UO, but it is to say that EA should get some credit for making sure UO saw the light of day as a commercial game.
Yes you are correct, they owned Origin before Garriot even made UO, but never took an interest in it untill it got big, at which point they ****ed it over.

Hardly boring. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer more direct player to player action, rather then just working quests. Your comment about exploits is blatantly not true. There are literally
no hacks
for UO on a RunUO server, and very little on the PTP servers (even the hacks that do exsist are just little gay things like text re-huer and crap like that). The game is so server dependent that the client controls nearly next to nothing, which is good because it makes it next to impossible to use hacks for it, but bad because, as you pointed out, it takes a VERY high end server to support a large player base. Though if you have a nice server and connection, like ours (Quad 3.0ghz EM64T Xeon, 8gigs of ram, and literally unlimited bandwith), that is not a problem. Frankly I like the old 2d graphics on this game better then some of the new blocky 3d **** we see in some games. Yea it's 2d, but it is extremely detailed 2d. All of the 2d graphics are done very well and it looks really good IMO. It might not have a wow factor, but it is art that you can appreciate. On a side note of the client sucking, it can at times, but the creators of RunUO also put out a custom client that is quite nice and runs at a full 60fps, smooth movement, etc etc.
Ultima is just one of those games that is rediculously easy to learn how to play, but takes a lifetime to master. I knew that this being a hardware forum a lot of people wouldn't even bother to look at it, but there are very few people I know who have played Ultima and did not have a good time doing so.
EDIT: There were actually two "UO2"'s coming out that got scrapped. UWO and
the very recent UXO.

I had the same problem using a G4Ti4600. I found that if I toned down the AGP setting from 4x to 1x my system had stability. Now I don't mean tune down your AGP options within the XF86config-4 file, because I too did this and got nowhere. I lowered my AGP in my Bios and this seemed to help. I found that once I did this the system seemed to run longer before it hung.
I'm not sure if this was the correct cure, but I finally corrected my freezes by setting my bios back to its default settings. Since I've done this, Mandrake 9.1 runs stable and my OpenGl applications run like a champ. After doing this, I let my system run for 4 days, and it ran rock solid.
I have a Gigabyte GA -7VRXP mb and within the section that controls the graphics, I have options such as aperature size, strentgh of the signal and settings such as Ultra, Fast...you get the picture.
I had my aperature set as 128 and my setting at Ultra along with other things. Linux and Windows didn't seem to handle these setting very well and always resulted in a crash, infinite loop, or some other type of headache. Again, for you, I suggest setting your Bios to its default and then give Mandrake a try.
For your problem with the driver only seeing half of your video memory I don't have a clue. Sorry!
As for the agpgart, this should not be a problem for you. I might be mistaken, but I thought the problem only existed for users using AMD (athlon) processors.
More then anything it sounds as if your proplem lies within your motherboards bios. Best of Luck.

"What serious and intelligent persons over many generations, and in preference to many available alternatives, have held to be significant," the great Islamicist Marshall G. S. Hodgson remarked a few decades ago, "rarely turns out, on close investigation, to be trivial." Speaking specifically of Islam, the eminent Victorian Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle put what was essentially the same point in another way: "Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the Almighty have lived and died by? I, for my part, cannot form any such supposition. I will believe most things sooner than that."
Islam has, of course, long since met Hodgson's test, and it should, in my opinion, grow clearer with each passing year that Mormonism, too, is a legitimate and serious religious option.
Yet this fact, to me incontrovertible, is evidently not clear to many people.
In his important book Faith and Reason, for instance, faced with the great number of religions claiming to embody divine truth and with our desire to choose between them, the noted British philosopher Richard Swinburne argues that "what a man thinks worth giving his life to serve deserves at least a passing inspection from us, if he assures us that it is of deep significance to us."
So far, so good. This agrees nicely with Hodgson and Carlyle, as well as with common sense.
But Swinburne's qualification of that proposition is somewhat surprising: "The Mormon . . . who knocks so unwelcome at our door," he continues, "is entitled to a small initial amount of serious attention. But I suggest that for most of us there is not nearly so much point in investigating the credal claims of religions which have not spread throughout the globe and into which we do not bump, as in investigating the other religions. The failure of the former to spread among those who do come into contact with them is some evidence that they are not worth more serious attention."
Much, I suppose, could and should be said about Professor Swinburne's assumption that Mormonism has had no success among those who have encountered it. The very prominent non-Mormon sociologist of religion Rodney Stark, for example, has argued that the historical growth of Mormonism is uncannily like that of early Christianity in its first centuries:
Put another way, if Professor Stark is correct, Richard Swinburne would very likely have had precisely the same opinion about the global insignificance of Christianity at AD 200 that he had in the late twentieth century about the insignificance of Mormonism — and would have been just as wrong. In his elite Oxbridge environs, knowing Mormons only as the missionaries "who knock so unwelcome at our door," Professor Swinburne's dismissal seems almost as disconnected from reality as the New York writer (variously said to have been Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Susan Sontag, etc., and probably altogether apocryphal in any case) who supposedly expressed utter bewilderment that Ronald Reagan had won the American presidency because "nobody I know voted for him."
Anyway, it's partly to counter perceptions like those of Professor Swinburne that I launched a little project called "Mormon Scholars Testify" back in mid-December of 2009:
It's also a personal missionary enterprise — missionary opportunities are somewhat limited for people who, like me, live in Utah Valley and teach at Brigham Young University — inspired by a 15 December 2007 commencement address delivered by Elder M. Russell Ballard, of the Council of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at BYU's Hawaii campus.
The project doesn't particularly seek academic arguments for belief. Rather, it is interested in how the studies, research, and/or intellectual and cultural life of those who contribute to it have interacted with (and perhaps even reinforced) their lives as believing members of the Church. (Contributors aren't obliged, though, to address even that. I'm a very laissez-faire editor and proprietor.)
Several times, during my mission in German-speaking Switzerland eons ago, I encountered the elite dismissal of Mormonism as an inconsequential Sekte (which, in German, has something of the connotation of cult rather than merely of sect), and of Mormons as ignorant, unsophisticated, provincial rubes whose faith is too silly, too irrational, to sustain an educated, thoughtful person, too shallow to nourish a cultured and deeply-feeling soul.
Not long ago, I saw the claim on-line that Mormonism "officially" requires its adherents to reject science.
Some years back, Thomas Cahill was attempting to explain the ancient Manichaean faith in his best-selling book How the Irish Saved Civilization. Reaching for a modern parallel, he gratuitously insulted both Mormons and Mormonism by saying something to the effect that Manichaeism, like Mormonism today, had no depth in it that would satisfy a serious mind.
The "Mormon Scholars Testify" project doesn't ask that Mr. Cahill's complacent dismissal be directly rebutted, but I do see it as potentially, at least in part, a kind of refutation. "Take another look," the project says. "Serious minds do find Mormonism satisfying."
Thus far, the effort has been criticized from various angles.
It has, for example, been attacked by a few critics as "elitist," as representing my supposed arrogant belief that "scholars" are somehow worth more than non-scholars. People who level such accusations plainly don't know me: My family ran, and still runs, a construction business. My uncles were truck drivers, farmers, construction workers, insurance agents. My aunts were housewives. There wasn't an academic among them. My father managed to get in two years of college; my mother attended no college at all. Very few of my cousins attended college. I don't come from an "elite" academic background, and I don't have an elitist's disdain for non-scholars (not even a trace).
My niche happens to be in academia, though, and scholars happen to be pretty well-placed to provide counterexamples against dismissals such as Cahill's and Swinburne's. (I have no really rigid definition of the term scholar, by the way. I'm simply looking for thoughtful people who are engaged with the world of ideas, academics, teaching, and learning.)
Others have claimed that I'm making the fallacious argument that, because some intelligent and well-educated people accept the claims of Mormonism, Mormonism is true. Triumphantly, they point out that there are also intelligent and well-educated Catholics, Buddhists, Evangelicals, and atheists. But I make no such argument, and, accordingly, their counterargument is irrelevant. I agree with Marshall Hodgson that — while there are certainly small and short-lived movements (e.g., Jonestown, the Hale-Bopp Comet folks, and etc.) that have little depth of intellectual soil to them — philosophical positions that have captured the allegiance of intelligent, rational, educated, mentally healthy people over lengthy periods of time and in various cultures (e.g. Catholicism, Buddhism, Evangelicalism, and, yes, atheism and Marxism and many other such movements) cannot simply be dismissed with a wave of the hand. They needn't be accepted, but they should be seriously considered. And that is what I'm claiming for Mormonism via the "Mormon Scholars Testify" project.
Still others have criticized the effort because, thus far at least, it's relatively heavily dependent upon male white Americans at Brigham Young University. Unfortunately, the criticism isn't entirely without merit. I'm trying to include a wide variety of voices, from a wide variety of disciplines and a wide variety of places. But I teach at BYU, and it's plainly easiest for me to recruit (and to pester) the people that I know, whom I meet in the hallways every day. It's relatively difficult for me to recruit people I'm unaware of. And all I can do is invite. I have no power to compel. I'm entirely dependent upon the willingness of others to contribute to my project.
A few have criticized the project because it has so few entries. But this is a rather idle and silly complaint. As I write, the Mormon Scholars Testify website features entries from 337 people. Is that really so unimpressive? (The site has only been up for a bit more than two years.) Many of the entries are multiple pages long. But let's assume that the average is two pages each. (Probably a substantial underestimate.) On that assumption, the website currently offers almost seven hundred pages of testimonies. In print, that would be at least a couple of very substantial volumes.
This isn't a corporate project. It's an individual undertaking. It was my idea, I launched it, and I keep it going. I recruit and edit every entry. I have no assistants in that task, and it's far and away not my full-time job. I then pass each entry on to Tanya Spackman, who is based on the American east coast and who serves voluntarily as the project's webmaster. (My computer expertise is limited largely to turning the machine on, moving a cursor, clicking, and cursing the occasional glitch.) There is no staff, no team of co-workers. And there are, contrary to some rather bizarre insinuations that I've come across out in the fever swamps, no financial incentives for contributors, and no BYU penalties levied against any BYU faculty who might, for whatever reason, decline to contribute.
I'm very pleased with the way "Mormon Scholars Testify" has developed to this point, and anticipate that it will continue to grow.
Take a look.
And, if you're a believing Mormon scholar, please do consider submitting a testimony, a brief bio, and a digital photo to email@example.com.

Sweden's air navigation service provider LFV will by October control air traffic movements at Ornskoldsvik airport from its remote-tower centre at Sundsvall, following approval today by Sweden's aviation authority of Saab Sensis technology.
Progressively, more small airfields in Sweden and Norway will be remotely controlled, but Ornskoldsvik is to be the first.
The technology enables aerodromes that handle only small numbers of essential commercial flights for remote communities to be provided with high standards of air traffic control from an ATC centre hundreds of kilometres away, where it is financially viable to maintain a pool of fully qualified controllers.
Additionally, there is no need to build a costly manned tower on the aerodrome under surveillance: the on-site installation is a tall mast on which video cameras, microphones, meteororological instruments and other sensors are mounted. The data from these is streamed in real time to the virtual visual control room at the ATC centre, which can provide ATC services at a number of small aerodromes by switching its data feed to the relevant airport when a movement is due.
At the Sundsvall centre, the controller has access to a 360° display view of what the on-site cameras "see", plus directional sound from moving aircraft. Saab Sensis vice-president marketing David Kovarik says controllers have all the visual and communication inputs they would have on site, as well as enhanced vision on their displays in poor visibility and infrared at night.
He adds that Australia is reviewing the possibility of controlling Alice Springs airport from Adelaide.
Saab has been developing components of the required technologies since 2006, aided by its acquisition of Sensis in 2011 and HITT (Holland Institute of Traffic Technology) early in 2013.

|Related: DJANGO UNCHAINED
In the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut shootings, The Weinstein Company has announced that tonight's Los Angeles premiere of Quentin Tarantino's new film, DJANGO UNCHAINED, has been cancelled. Entertainwent Weekly confirmed the news this morning.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the tragedy in Newtown, CT and in this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event," a Weinstein spokesperson said in a statement. "However, we will be holding a private screening for the cast and crew and their friends and families."
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, the film stars Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.
The film is set for a Christmas Day theatrical release.

Jay Baer, the author of Youtility: Why Your Marketing Needs to Be About Help, Not Hype, joins us today for a Livefyre Q&A.
I'm fairly certain Jay needs no introduction.
He has been on the social media, author, speaking, blogging circuit for many, many years. He has built companies and sold them. He moved his family to Bloomington, Ind., for no other reason than they liked the town. And he's a tequila aficionado.
Today he's going to hang out with you for an hour to answer any and all questions you have about his latest book, tequila, state fairs, or how many flights he took this year.
Today's Livefyre Q&A
At noon ET (that's 11:00 CT, 10:00 MT, and 9:00 PT for those of you who can't do time zones), Jay will be here so you can ask him how to create useful marketing, how to address the questions customers and prospects ask, how to develop marketing your customers actually want, who you are actually competing against, or how to use case studies in new and interesting ways.
In order to participate, all you have to do is:
- Make sure you have a Livefyre account or be ready to sign in with one of your social networks.
- Set a reminder for noon ET today.
- Order the book so you can help Jay out, but also get your learn on.
- Create a list of questions (if you haven't read the book, go to Amazon and read through the content there; you'll find some things to help you formulate questions).
- Come back here, scroll to the bottom, and write a comment in the form of a question. As soon as you hit "post comment," Jay will see it and reply to you. You can even join the conversation around questions others are asking, if you like.
We'll be here for an hour so you can join us the entire time or step in and out during the hour. It's entirely up to you; just make sure you're here before 12:59.
Win a Copy
Those of you who participate in today's Livefyre Q&A (even if you're late to the party, but not if you're an Arment Dietrich employee) will be entered in a random drawing for a free copy of the book.
We bought two copies and will give them away, but you have to actually leave a comment, ask a question, or participate in the chat to be entered in the drawing. Otherwise we won't know you were here.
Get ready with your questions and join the conversation. And don't fear! If you missed the live portion of this, we'll keep the drawing open until midnight PT so you still have time to get in your questions.
Former Guests and Who's Next
For former guests, check out Margie Clayman, Sarah Robinson, Mark Story, Beth Hayden, Sarah Evans, Stanford Smith, Chris Brogan, C.C. Chapman, Mitch Joel,Danny Brown, Chuck Hemann, Michael Brito, DJ Waldow, Tom Martin, and Ahava Leibtag.
And following is the lineup for the next few months, so mark your calendars!

Awww... I just found out about this... I'd love to know, who was your second choice for the Foreward if Marcus had refused?
Alright boys and girls! That's it for today. I will draw two names from attendees tomorrow to send a book. I'll tag you right here if you win.
THANK YOU, Jay! It's always a pleasure to see you, even if it's not in person.
Holy moly, that was one awesome lunch hour. Thanks for your insights as always, @JayBaer.
How would you go about determining transformative value to determine how to split revenue, in situations of copyright so users can create value and possible conversions. How could the user be compensated?
Does gamification go well with your idea of Youtility? Or do you think it's just a waste of time?
One thing you're most excited about in 2014...?
A couple other links of cool Youtilities:
You're the man, Jay! I love reading about Youtility on CC. I agree with the concept 100 percent!
@ginidietrich @jaybaer Great tweet! And who isn't thinking "Boy, I'd really like to talk to Jay Baer right now!" :)
Speaking of Youtility, shameless plug on what's next. Youtility for Accountants eBook (Kindle + Nook) launches 2/25. After that is Youtility for Automobile Dealers. Then, Youtility for Insurance Agents. Then, Youtility for Realtors. Planning 3-4 vertical eBooks each year for 2014/15.
Do you get better customer service now because you're Jay Baer?
@anitahovey As if Marcus would have refused!
Latest blog post: Crisis Communications: How Chick-fil-A Weathered the Storm
@ginidietrich Great conversations here! Nice to see a @JayBaer Q+A
@ginidietrichGood thing I was paying attention to my Twitter or else I would've missed this entirely. Thanks for tweeting about it!
@ginidietrich Agree - thank you Jay!
@ginidietrich@JayBaerAwesome chat, you two!! Thanks!
@ginidietrichawesome job as always. Thanks so much @JayBaer! Happy Holiday to the Spin Sucks crazies!
@ginidietrich Thanks everyone! Let me know who wins, and I'll include a Youtility T-shirt (very limited edition) too!
@jasonkonopinski Thanks pal. Great to hang with you.
@r4ltmanWhoa. I have to stop and think about that one just to figure out what you are actually asking. More. Coffee. Maybe with tequila.
@r4ltman That's going to require more thought than I am prepared to bring to the surface in the remaining 2 minutes. Shoot me an email. jayconvinceandconvert.com
@JRHalloran The best Youtilities don't need a game layer, but certainly in terms of getting more participation in Youtility creation (see thread below), I'm all for it if it works.
@belllindsay I genuinely believe that many companies are going to start embracing useful marketing next year. Not because it's the right thing to do, but because it works. Whether Youtility helps nudge that along or not is less important to me than the widespread embrace of usefulness, because if it happens, we all win - as people, not just as marketers.
@JayBaerNice! I remember reading about this, too. Very clever marketing indeed.
@JRHalloran Many thanks!
@ShannonBelew LOL!!
@JayBaer Really exciting and very much needed. Love it! (I'm going to get at least two of the ones that you've listed.)
@belllindsayLOL He's not as vocal about displeasure as Scott Stratten (unmarketing) - I'll bet Scott REALLY makes people shake in their boots for fear of incurring wrath!
@belllindsay probably worse
@ginidietrich @JayBaer sorry I missed the chat, but I have Youtility sitting on my desk right now, it's a must-read!
@CarrieMorgan @ginidietrich @JayBaer Thanks Jay! Some great info and ideas already circulating in my brain
@amandag Have a great holiday, Gant!
@ginidietrich@JayBaerThanks so much, Jay! We really appreciate it!
@amandag Happy Holidays to you!
@JayBaer @ginidietrich Now THAT'S youtility in action! :)
@JayBaer Indeed. Happy holidays to you and the family! May your barbeque never turn out dry.
@CarrieMorgan @r4ltman Rye. Whisky.
Thank you I will send an email. Essentially imagine the sharing economy applied to copyright and then the cultural audit tricky part would be the revenue split.
@JayBaer@belllindsay What do you propose a marketer can do to convince his boss to explore these new marketing approaches, though? It's kind of hard to get them out of a rut sometimes.
@JayBaer I agree.
@CarrieMorgan @belllindsay yes. I love Scott, but we take different approaches to the carrot and stick equation. I was raised that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Which is why I rarely take companies to task on my blog, podcast, etc. It's just how I'm wired.
@CarrieMorgan @belllindsay Or Shankman.
@JayBaer LOL!!
@nickcicero@ginidietrich@JayBaernotice it's place with @dannybrown's book as a Monitor Support Station.
Latest blog post: Visa does incredible campaign in Grand Central for Olympics…why?
@amandag I like real sugar cookies and hot toddies, too.
@jasonkonopinski You too!! I'll be sending sugar cookie, hot toddy vibes your way.
@jasonkonopinski @JayBaer Can't believe that went so quickly.
@jasonkonopinski @CarrieMorgan @r4ltman Richard throws down the gauntlet. Uh, tag me in when you get an answer to that
@JRHalloran sometimes it's best to get at it via research. use social/search data to get a sense for what customers really NEED and then fill that gap.
What @CarrieMorgan said. @JayBaer @belllindsay
@JayBaer@CarrieMorgan@belllindsayWe like that about you.
@ginidietrich @CarrieMorgan @belllindsay Right? Cool that Morton's delivered Peter a steak in response to a tweet, but what does that prove?

Foxit Reader Contains Multiple Vulnerabilities
According to a U.S. Cert bulletin issued today, my favorite PDF reader, Foxit Reader has multiple security vulnerabilities:
Foxit Reader has released updates for multiple vulnerabilities. By convincing a user to open a malicious PDF file, an attacker may be able to execute code or cause a vulnerable PDF viewer to crash. The PDF could be emailed as an attachment or hosted on a website.US-CERT encourages users to review the Foxit Security Bulletin and Vulnerability Note VU#251793 and apply any necessary updates.
The Foxit Security Bulletin describes the issues:
Two Security Vulnerabilities Fixed in Foxit Reader 3.0 and JPEG2000/JBIG2 Decoder
Here is detailed information about the vulnerabilities:
1. Fixed a problem related to negative stream offset (in malicious JPEG2000 stream) which caused reading data from an out-of-bound address. We have added guard codes to solve this issue.
2. Fixed a problem related to error handling when decoding JPEG2000 header, an uncaught fatal error resulted a subsequent invalid address access. We added error handling code to terminate the decoding process.
I recommend that all Foxit Reader users update their Foxit Reader 3.0, available here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/. Then, be sure to go to Help>Check for updates and download the stream decoder update.
How to Use the Windows Registry for Cyber Forensics: Part 2
In Part 1 of this series, I introduced you to the concept of date/time coincidence and we explored five registry keys that are useful to the forensic examiner. This time, I'll show you how data can be encrypted and hidden in the registry.
If you're involved in data security, you're familiar with cryptography in some fashion and you know that ciphers – algorithms for performing encryption and decryption – are what do the work. You probably also know that there are a few quick-and-dirty algorithms for encrypting data. One such algorithm is known as the Caesar Cipher, or ROT-13, a simple algorithm that encrypts data by shifting each character 13 places in the alphabet while leaving non-alpha characters untouched. It's so simple that you can decrypt it manually, but it's enough to fool the casual observer. Anyone coming across something like cnffj beqsb egurf rperg svyrf vfcnf fjbeq, is naturally going to assume it's encrypted; in fact, it's ROT-13 for password for the secret files is password. I broke it up into five-character groups to make it more convincing.
For whatever reason, Microsoft uses ROT-13 to encrypt data in some registry keys. One such key is: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist. Here's an example: "HRZR_EHACNGU:P:\AFYBBXHC.RKR." Decrypted, that's "UEME_RUNPATH:C:\NSLOOKUP.EXE." (We'll look at the UserAssist key in Part 3.) A better way to hide data is to encode text-based information in binary format and store it in binary form as a string in registry values of type REG_SZ. Given that binary data is common in the registry, the technique would make it extremely difficult to retrieve the hidden information.
In addition to using ROT-13 and binary encoding to obfuscate data, a suspect could take advantage of a flaw in the registry editor to also make the data invisible to anyone but a forensics examiner who knows about the flaw. From "Forensic Analysis of the Windows Registry:"
The Windows 2000 and XP Registry Editor (regedit.exe or regedt32.exe) have an implementation flaw that allows hiding of registry information from viewing and editing, regardless of users access privilege (Secunia, 2005). The flaw involves any registry values with name from 256 to 259 (maximum value name) characters long. The overly long registry value (regardless of type) not only hides its own presence, but also subsequently created values (regardless of type) in the same key (Franchuk, 2005). The editor stops displaying the remaining of the values thinking the overly long value as the last value in that key. Suspect could exploit such Registry Editor flaw to hide information.
The Windows console registry tool (reg.exe) can display these overly long registry values so the hidden data can be recovered as evidence; however, given the sheer number of entries in the registry, this process is not trivial.
I hope this series is giving you some insight, perhaps even piqueing your interest, in cyber forensics. Hit the comment button and tell me what you think.
In Part 3, we'll explore some keys that can tell us where a suspect has been storing files.

Are YOU a Hacker?
Are you? It's not necessarily a derogatory term. Neither is "geek." But what does "hacker" really mean? Here's one opinion:
Someone that is looking to work outside the normal parameters. The media grabs the term and turns it into something bad. Like all hackers are evil and looking to steal your identity, your money and bring down the system in some [sort of] anti-government/corporate protest. Sure there are always extremist[s] on the either side of nearly any issue…For a true hacker, statements like, "Never do this…" or "one use only" or even better the golden "authorized users only" tend to get us thinking. What is behind that interface, that door, that piece of tape that will void my warranty if removed you are trying to keep me from learning.
Folks, I'm a hacker. I hack computers and networks—it's part of my job—I don't do anything malicious, but I dig into things I probably shouldn't. I've always been the kind of guy who takes things apart to see what makes them tick. Usually, I get them back together the way they were. Sometimes, I break them; but, I always come away with a better understanding of how things work.
If more people were "hackers," if more people knew how things work, if more people *understood* how this universe is put together, if more people even cared to look, this world would be a better place.
I'm a hacker. Are you?
Search for Screensavers at Your Own Risk
Enter "screensavers" into any major search engine and there's better than a fifty percent chance that any result you click on will land you on a malicious website. According to McAfee's recently released report "The Web's Most Dangerous Search Terms," that search term carries a maximum risk of 59.1 percent. Furthermore, lyrics and anything that includes the word "free" have a high risk of exposing users to malicious or fraudulent web sites. Health-related search terms have the lowest risk profile. Check out The Web's most dangerous keywords to search for on ZDNet.com.
One of the biggest problems is that the bad guys, using Black Hat SEO techniques, grab onto the trending search terms of the moment and use their popularity to get links to compromised sites placed high in the search engine rankings. This, coupled with the fact that 77% of Websites carrying malicious code are legitimate sites, make for an increasingly dangerous environment for the casual surfer.
This is yet another reason to continue to beat my drum: If you use IE, disable scripting and ActiveX (IE8 has increased security, so consider upgrading). Better yet, switch to Firefox and use the NoScript plugin. Tell the users who trust you to do the same, will you? And make sure they have the latest security patches on their systems. Most people are trusting souls; on the web, they shouldn't be. Let's instill the "trust no one" (except for us white hats, of course) mentality into everyone we can.
ID Analytics Service Validates Identity Exposure Index
A new, free service offered by ID Analytics, www.myidscore.com, validates my Identity Exposure Index concept I proposed last month (What's Your Identity Exposure Index?). While the results of the iEi investigation give you an index between 0 and 5, the MyIDScore.com results range from 0 to 1000. In both tests, the higher the score, the more at risk you are.
I compared iEi results for myself and my wife with those obtained from myidentityscore.com and was a bit surprised at the correlation: my iEi is exactly 4 times my wife's; my My ID Score is 3.9 times my wife's. I consider that a pretty strong case for my method. ID Analytics' technology is patented, but they do reveal that they rely on real-time, cross-industry compilation of identity information, some other identity-specific analytics, and a database of reported identity frauds.
I don't question the validity of their method and it's certainly easier to go to their web site and enter a few pieces of basic information than it is to figure out your iEi, but it sure is interesting that my little "invention" appears to be just as valid.
You be the judge; do your own test and please let me know what you find.
How to Use the Windows Registry for Cyber Forensics: Part 1
I recently completed the free SANS mini-course on cyber forensics (see my post, Free Mini-courses from SANS). That course could not have shown up at a more opportune time as I had just been asked to see if I could determine whether a client's former employee had stolen their customer list. I learned a bit about looking in some nooks and crannies–specifically, the Windows registry–that I hadn't considered before and was able to determine with reasonable certainty that the employee had not saved any sensitive information to any external storage media.
I'm no expert in this subject, but I'm confident that I now have a good idea of how to conduct a quick and dirty preliminary forensic examination based upon information found in the Windows registry. When you consider that virtually everything you or a program does in Windows refers to or is recorded into the registry, it stands to reason that it will reveal most anything from minor mischief to major mayhem to the examiner who knows where to look. In this first part, we'll take a look at how to examine the registry and explore a few of the more common registry entries that have potential forensic value.
Let me first introduce you to the concept of date/time coincidence. All the evidence in the world means little unless it can be shown that it coincides with the time window of the specific incident in question. Therefore, it's very important that you examine the "LastWrite" time of each key you examine. While this property doesn't tell you what value was written, knowing the LastWrite time of a key can allow you to infer the date/time coincidence of an event. You can determine the LastWrite time by right-clicking any key, selecting "Export" and then saving it in .txt format. When you open the .txt file, you'll see something similar to this:
Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
Class Name: <NO CLASS>
Last Write Time: 5/27/2009 – 12:29 PM
Here are five keys that can give you a quick overview of the activity on a given system and will tell you if it's worth your effort to dig deeper. The fact that you're investigating in the first place means that you have some idea of what you're looking for and if you're dealing with a non-technical user, it's a good bet you'll find something among these.
MRU is the abbreviation for "most recently used." This key contains a list of files that were recently opened or saved via the Windows Explorer common dialog boxes. Note that this does not apply to Microsoft Office documents. The subkey * contains the file paths to the 10 most recently opened/saved files.
Similar to the OpenSaveMRU key, but it also contains the name of the program executable file that was used to open/save the document as well as the path to the file. All of the information is in binary format.
This key has a similar arrangement to OpenSaveMRU. Only the filename in binary format is stored here and it contains both network and local files recently opened.
Here you'll find a list of entries with full file paths and commands that have been executed using the Start>Run command. This is useful to determine whether your suspect has been messing around in the registry, using the cmd shell or any management consoles.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs\
A listing of the 25 recent URLs or file paths typed into the IE or Windows Explorer address bar. Useful to determine what websites your suspect has been surfing, but this key is cleared if IE's Clear History option is invoked. Still, some people may not know about it and some may forget. It's a good way to disprove the I-have-no-idea-where-that-came-from excuse.
Next time, we'll look into how data can be encrypted and hidden in the registry.
Three US Cyber Challenges to be Announced May 29
Just received SANS NewsBites' May 19, 2009 issue (Vol. 11, Num. 39) and one article caught my eye. Seems that the sponsors of these Cyber Challenges need some help in naming them:
…a week from Friday…three national cyber games will be announced at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) luncheon. The competitions are part of a huge talent search and talent development program to find and nurture the young people who have the skills to become the next generation of great security professionals… But we are trying to agree on a name for the SANS competition. Please pick the one, two or three you like best and send them back to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks in advance.

It's a great idea and sounds like loads of fun. How about we help them out? I chose SANS War Games, SANS Security Challenge, and SANS InfoSec Faceoff.
Can Your iEi be Improved?
Last month, I posted "What's Your Identity Exposure Index?" I've had some interesting feedback. This one stood out:
I was really interested in your article about online identity exposure. Since I'm on the web most of the day – for my job, Twittering, creating a brand for my jewelry business – a Google search for my name delivers all accurate results on the first page. However, after taking your suggested test, my iEi was still only 1.6, which made me feel a little better. Do you have any suggestions for lowering that score…or is the damage already done once it's done?
I'm still researching this issue, but I can tell you from personal experience that once something is on the web, it's likely to be there for a very long time. I have managed to get some erroneous public records removed from the web, but some very old USENET postings have resisted my efforts at removal.
Public records are just that, public; but governments are prohibited from revealing, willy-nilly, sensitive information about their citizens. This means that if a "public" record somehow shows up on the Internet with sensitive information revealed (SSN, police reports, legal information, e.g.), a complaint on the proper channels will usually get the record removed.
I'll give you the best solution I know, one that I've been using for some years now: If you are on line regularly, do everything you can to post and reveal the information that you *want* people to find. A blog is great for this. Using my blogs, over the past five years I've managed to push the junk well beyond the third page of most search engine results. I can live with that.
Real Spam Statistics
Depending on whose reports you view, spam accounts for from 85 to 95 percent of all emails sent. This may hold true over the Internet at large, but as with any other statistical data, there are local and regional variations. My own inbox is an exception to the general rule; I get far more legitimate emails than spam.
The company I work for provides spam filtering for several SMBs, so I have to hand real data that I can evaluate. Based on last week's numbers, we processed nearly 100,000 messages in our filters. Of those messages, nearly 70,000–70%–were spam; nearly 30,000–30%–were accepted as legitimate. Our data has its own wild variations: one set is very low with only 18% spam; another set reaches a high of 92% spam.
I'm not a statistician, but it's easy for me to see how big a problem spam has become. I'm not ready to say email is dead as a business communication medium, but it certainly needs an overhaul.
