Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Drugs, the Olympic Games and amazing blunders on sport's biggest stage. Simon Plumb takes you inside our golden girl's nightmare.
Part I: Val-Gate...Sunday August 5, London
"Valerie is not an automatic qualifier for the Olympic shot put final. She should be on the list. She's not on the list. Management are aware of it and are attempting to rectify the situation. That's all I'm prepared to comment on."
That short phone call to Valerie Adams' manager, Nick Cowan, confirmed breaking news so dumbfounding it was barely believable. The story was urgently emailed back to New Zealand: "Kiwi officials fail to register Valerie Adams for London 2012."
It was hours before Adams was due to defend Olympic gold, the start of incredible controversy and a series of screw-ups so unacceptable that Minister of Sport Murray McCully would call for a formal investigation.
Attempting to hush global embarrassment, the New Zealand Olympic Committee issued a statement citing "an administrative error" but that Adams had been added to the start list. Apparently the matter had been "fully resolved".
But that was only the start of it.
After an out-of-sorts Adams won silver, beaten by Belarusian rival Nadzeya Ostapchuk, it would later emerge she had to beg officials just to print her name bib and be granted access to athlete rooms inside the Olympic stadium. Before Adams could approach media in the tunnel, an NZOC official intercepted - seemingly giving instructions while Adams was looking at the floor nodding.
Interviewing Adams the following morning was delicate, she hadn't slept and was clearly distraught. But she agreed it was time for answers. How could she have been so badly let down?
In a private room in the back of Kiwi House, Adams detailed events through tears and demanded accountability. There was to be a press conference that afternoon fronted by NZOC secretary-general Kereyn Smith, chef de mission Dave Currie and Cowan.
Currie fumbled for answers to simple questions and at one point Smith grabbed the microphone off him. Major inconsistencies were emerging in Currie's story over what had happened with the start list, with Adams' shared accommodation and then, despite agreeing with Adams not to, he proceeded to blame official Raylene Bates for the start-list error.
Part II: The Belarusian...Monday August 13, London
The Games are over, hotel check-out and a two-week holiday are an hour away, and an email from the International Olympic Committee lands: "Ostapchuk disqualified, Adams awarded gold".
The drug story so widely suspected in the run-up to the Games had finally been confirmed by the most solid source possible, and a whole new twist emerged in an already bizarre tale.
While Adams cleaned up on the world track and field circuit in the months before London, Ostapchuk disappeared, traceable only by reports of monstrous throws out of her native Belarus. Ostapchuk had not beaten Adams head-to-head in more than two years and then, all of a sudden, she's booming past her - but behind closed doors.
Many observers sensed exactly what was going on in Minsk.
Questioning of Ostapchuk's results in a July 19 column and pointing to "magical measuring tapes" the day before the Olympic showdown prompted one reader to reply: "Are you suggesting she somehow cheated? Either come out and say it and explain yourself or zip it with the insinuation! How much experience have you got in reporting on shot put anyway, Simon? Rubbish journalism in my opinion."
Cheating was precisely the insinuation. Doping, to be exact.
It was off to Switzerland that night to catch up with newly crowned Adams and coach Jean-Pierre Egger and, for the first time, their doubts over Ostapchuk went on record.
Egger, a highly respected veteran of four decades in elite sport, said he'd long harboured drug suspicions over Ostapchuk. He even asserted Belarus was actively helping its athletes skirt anti-doping rules.
"I am an old fox. I know when people are cheating," he said.
The interview with Adams was understandably much happier than seven days before. There was a party at the Swiss Olympic HQ that afternoon.
But still the saga rolls on, even now Adams has her second gold medal. Four months after Ostapchuk was given a one-year ban for steroid abuse, the IAAF are yet to challenge the light sentence handed down by Belarusian officials - meaning Ostapchuk could be back for the 2013 world championships.

Timaru trap shooter Natalie Rooney gatecrashed the Australian National International Shooting Sport Federation Championships and made the gold medal shoot-off in the Olympic trap.
Rooney finished second against Australia's best, including Olympic gold medallist Suzie Balogh, who were tough competition for the No 1 Kiwi shooter.
It was a double celebration because the 24-year-old Rooney also shot the qualifying score for next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The requirements for Commonwealth Games selection were scoring a 67 at both a domestic and international competition so now Rooney just needs to get the nod from the New Zealand Olympic Committee.
She was happy with her efforts and believes the new format suits her temperament.
Previously, qualifying scores were carried through to the final but, under the new format, the shooters start from scratch each time as they advance.
A field of 22 started and Rooney made the top-six shoot-off by scoring a 67 to tie for second.
She was one of the two top scorers in the semifinal of six to advance to a shoot-off for gold.
In tricky conditions in Brisbane, she then shot 11 from 15 to finish one target behind winner Laetisha Scanlan.
Rooney said she enjoyed the new format. "You get a fresh start each time you advance and for some reason it seems to help me. I guess you keep looking forward rather than back."
Having shot the qualifying scores for the Commonwealth Games, Rooney said she can now concentrate on trying to win events.
Her next event is next week's New Zealand championship in Christchurch where Rooney will start as the hot favourite in the women's trap.
She is becoming more comfortable with her custom-made Beretta DT11, which she has had since September.
Rooney was fitted for the shotgun when she visited the Italian factory last year.
"I'm pretty happy with it so far. It does make a big difference."
Rooney has already represented New Zealand at a Commonwealth Games, in Delhi in 2010.
She will not face a debacle like the one that resulted in her missing the Olympics, where New Zealand had two quota spots and she lost her place on appeal to a shooter from a different discipline.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Trees
Title: Distance of oak tree to existing driveway in San Antonio
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:How close can I plant a live oak tree (15 gal) next to an existing driveway. I have about 3 feet space to plant between a fence and a driveway. This is the best spot to provide future shade. My concern is if the roots will raise the concrete over time.
An oak tree root system is extensive but shallow. The ground area at the outside edge of the canopy, referred to as the dripline, is especially important. The tree obtains most of its surface water here, and conducts an important exchange of air and other gases. Any change in the level of soil around an oak tree can have a negative impact. The most critical area lies within 6 to 10 feet of the trunk. No soil should be added or scraped away from that area. Paving should not be in the dripline and no closer than 15 feet from the tree trunk. The area around the trunk-at least a 10 foot radius-should be natural and uncovered.
Not only would your pavement begin to buckle, but the tree would not thrive, either. What is on the other side of the fence? The tree roots can go under the fence, but then is there another driveway or foundation? We would hate to see you go to that much trouble and expense planting such a large tree, and have it cause so much trouble down the line and probably lose the tree, too. Now that you know what kind of spacing the tree needs, perhaps you can find another place on your property where it will be able to grow without disruption of foundations, sidewalks, driveways or its own roots.

Zhao's Pureheart Capital Asia is up 24% this year, Bloomberg News reports, after a 7% surge last month. The US$217 million firm has more than 80% of its assets invested in Chinese stocks, up from 50% at the beginning of the year.
"There is no doubt that the China stock market is still in a bear market," the Hong Kong-based firm wrote in its July newsletter. "The falling share prices will provide a very good opportunity for us to buy the carefully-selected shares at a bargain."
Pureheart is most optimistic about consumer goods and pharmaceuticals, and plans to cut its investments in Vietnam further. The firm has already exited almost all of its Indian investments.

Championship round-up: QPR open up gap while Chris Martin caps Derby fightback
Tuesday 28 January 2014
A good night for the top two in the Championship, Leicester and Queen's Park Rangers, saw them both win and move away from Burnley in third who were held to a draw at home.
Leicester have now won eight league games on the trot. Lloyd Dyer gave them a first-half lead at Birmingham and after weathering pressure from the home side, Jamie Vardy earned some breathing space with the second with seven minutes to go. Peter Lovenkrands fired a late consolation for Birmingham.
Charlie Austin's 14th goal of the season gave QPR the lead against Bolton at Loftus Road, the striker heading in at the far post from Matty Phillips' cross four minutes from half-time. Karl Henry slammed in the second from the edge of the area after a corner was only partially cleared. Jay Spearing pulled one back for Bolton with five minutes to go.
Burnley are now three points off Rangers in second after they failed to break down a defensive Brighton side, the game at Turf Moor ending 0-0.
Derby, in fourth, stormed back from two goals down at half time to beat Yeovil 3-2. John Lundstram gave the visitors the lead from 25 yards, then Ishmael Miller made it two from an acute angle.
Patrick Bamford pulled one back for Derby in the 50th minute and the Rams drew level with three minutes to go through Craig Bryson. Chris Martin's header deep in injury time completed a dramatic recovery.
It was a bad night for struggling Charlton and their manager Chris Powell as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at Doncaster and had midfielder Lawrie Wilson sent off.
An Adam le Fondre hat-trick inspired high-flying Reading to a 5-1 win over Blackpool.

"I personalized this card by not having our names beneath the words "thank you". My request was executed perfectly. Everything looked elegant and appropriate."
"Note cards were so perfect with dot colors the colors of the wedding and uploaded picture on inside of note card was perfect. Great customer service too!"
"I am so glad I ordered these! they came out beautifully and I was able to write a message on the back of them to send to all my guests! all I have to do is put a stamp on them and put them in the mail!"
"Thank you cards look great. I am very pleased with my whole order. Brides out there check Wedding Paper Divas for your needs."
"We really wanted something clean that didn't have our picture on it. I bought these because it's still a personal touch but that way I have thank you cards for the shower too and we don't have to wait to start thank yous long after our wedding. They are a great quality and elegant, we did not pick the entire suite, our save the dates, and invitations are actually in 2 other suites unrelated to this one. We have a early 1900's feel o our wedding and these were perfect."

How hard would it be to start up a small business?

All of what Steve says is true and good, but I'll tell you the secret that so many people fail to grasp, even though it's obvious. It doesn't matter what the business is, but this is about cupcakes. You need to sell them, that's the secret and don't laugh. If you make a cupcake for a dollar and sell it for $3, then you need to SELL 100 cupcakes to make $200. That's even without thinking about overhead. So many people want to say, "I can make XXX things a day", but if you don't sell them they just pile up on the living room floor. In order to make $500 a week, you need to make, and sell, 300 cupcakes a week, every week - in this case I'm thinking overhead. 25 - 12 cupcake tins. More than just your friends are going to buy. It's all about cash flow.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

President Obama points to Steve Jobs' ingenuity in State of the Union addressU.S. President Barack Obama mentioned late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as an example of America's best and brightest during the State of the Union address on Tuesday, which was attended by Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs.
President Obama referred to the former Apple CEO during the early portion of his hour-long speech, and gave a knowing glance to Powell Jobs as he said the following:
You see, an economy built to last is one where we encourage the talent and ingenuity of every person in this country. That means women should earn equal pay for equal work. It means we should support everyone whos willing to work; and every risk-taker and entrepreneur who aspires to become the next Steve Jobs.
Powell Jobs was seated almost directly behind First Lady Michelle Obama in the balcony box of the U.S. Capitol's House of Representatives chamber during the President's annual address to the nation.

In context, President Obama mentioned Jobs as part of the country's education and ways to jump-start the economy, and went on to declare that U.S. lawmakers need to come to a consensus on immigration reform to stop allowing potential workers from leaving the country.
Earlier reports noted that Powell Jobs had been personally invited to attend the yearly address as a guest of the First Lady. She was joined other official guests including Debbie Bosanek, secretary to billionaire stock guru Warren Buffett and symbol of President Obama's tax reform plan, Astronaut and husband of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Captain Mark Kelly, USN, Ret. and Admiral William McRaven, USN who is credited for organizing and executing the mission that led to the death of Osama bin Laden.

My daughters attended this school for the past two years. The loved the teachers and did very well. The teachers/staff know the kids by name and are wonderful.
Dardenne Elementary School is a public elementary school in O Fallon. The principal of Dardenne Elementary School is Dr. Jill Hutcheson, whose e-mail is email@example.com. 511 students go to Dardenne Elementary School and identify primarily as Hispanic; White, non-Hispanic; and Black, non-Hispanic. 45% of the 511 students here get reduced lunch prices. The student to teacher ratio at Dardenne Elementary School is 14:1. Emge Elementary School is one of the nearest elementary schools.

My daughters attended this school for the past two years. The loved the teachers and did very well. The teachers/staff know the kids by name and are wonderful.
I hate to say it but this school needs a new principle. Shes an older lady and does not discipline the students at all. One student hit another student and she sent the student back to class after talking to him for only 5 minutes. This school is out of control they need a more discipline from the principle! They need suspension some type of discipline! The kindergarden classes are way overcrowded and are full day.
I have 2 children at Dardenne and they are both thriving! We love the teachers and the principal who have been very involved in every aspect of my kids' experience there. One child will be in an eMints classroom next year and the other is currently being tested for the JET program. I have heard that Dardenne was zoned so that the "trailer park kids" or kids from low income families would all go to this one school I don't know if that's true. I can't imagine that it is out there. Regardless every child begins their educational experience as a blank slate --it is the responsibilty of the PARENT(S) to teach their children that education is important. You can make a great learning and growing experience for your children at (almost) any school. It's up to YOU.
My kids have been in 3 others schools in the district and I have never seen such un controlled hallways bathroom proceedures and behavior in general. While the teachers seem very nice the control and eduaction at this school was is horrible. NO COMPUTER teacher no student control.
Great place to live good teachers that seem to care for my child.
This elementary school is excellent my yougest child is there now in grade 3. They are the only elementary school in the district that offers E-Mints which is a terriffic program and lets kids learn while having fun. My son loves it.
My daughter has attended two different schools in the FZumwalt district. I can say that this school fails to measure up. I believe that part of the problem is the principal. They have some rough kids in this school and they need a strong authoritative presence. They do have some good teachers if you want to hand pick teachers every year. I am glad that this is our last year with this school.
I love this school my daughter goes to Dardenne and she just loves it. She comes home happy. The teachers are great and the office staff is wonderful!
Dardenne is an amazing school with much to offer. The teachers are involved and caring. The principal is dedicated fair and supportive. Dardenne is the only school in the district to offer third fourth and fifth grade eMINTS classrooms.
This school has come a long way! I am pleased with the education and support my children have received. I have watched it evolve into a much more welcoming and positive environment. It is evident by how my children and their peers respond. Dardenne teachers have received various awards and the children there have through excellent instruction boosted their scores on standardized testing. Parents are also important in the system and I have seen a lot more involvement and awards earned by the students. Second Grade kids earned the Exploravision national award and locally first and second place in 'Picture the Music' through Powell Symphony Hall. I believe in this school and current staff and administration.
I have had two different children try this school at different age levels and it is by far the worst school in the district. I have several friends and clients that have bought different houses when they found out that their children would have to go to this school. If you want your children to get a good education do not send them here. In second grade they are still on 1+2. Look at the test scores they are terrible.
Overall I like the school. I think the school principle is great and so is the staff. My daughter is in the 5th grade and she loves it here. We moved from the Creve Couer area to O' Fallon and I like Dardenne Elementary better than Bellerive Elementary. Less issues for my child here at this school and she has had perfect attendance since she has attended this school. She loves it and does not want to miss a day. I would like to see a program for children who have mastered basic skills to be placed into more advanced classes.
I have 3 children at this school. The principle is excellent her dedication and interest in each child shows! However the school itself could use a good scrubbing and cleaning up. The age of the building is showing. There also seem to be a very high % of new teachers every year. Many seem to be first year teachers and I wonder if they come get a couple of years experience and move on to a higher paying district. The school nurse is fabulous and overall the staff seem to care very much for the kids. My children have recieved a quality education here thanks to the dedication of the principle. While I do think it could use a couple of changes they are minor and I feel comfortable with my children attending here.
We've had two children attend this school. We are exremely happy with the education the kids recieved. The experiences with the staff teachers and administration has been wonderful.

Desperate times call for desperate measures—or just this lightweight but supernourishing conditioner from Sienna Naturals, an eco-conscious, toxin-free skin and hair care range specifically formulated for rough skin and texturized hair. It moisturizes, smooths, and protects dry, damaged strands and tames unruly hair—so you'll always look like you've just come from the salon.
I received the sample of Sienna Naturals leave in condition and was totally amazed how it left my hair. I have long hair which is treated with highlights and had become lack luster and dry. I have a closet full of conditioners and leave in conditioners but nothing really made my hair shine until my sample of this product. I was blown away and immediately ordered it even though my sample which was very generous still had many applications left. A nickel size is enough for my entire head. I part my hair down the middle and pull forward. I rub both hands together and rub into my wet hair working from the ends to the crown. After brushing the conditioner through my entire head I then blow dry and style. The finished product is really amazing, soft, shinny and just beautiful. Buy this, you will love it!!!5

Evaluating the Therapeutic Misconception
ABSTRACT The "therapeutic misconception", described by Paul Appelbaum and colleagues more than 20 years ago, refers to the tendency of participants in clinical trials to confuse the design and conduct of research with personalized medical care. Although the "therapeutic misconception" has become a term of art in research ethics, little systematic attention has been devoted to the ethical significance of this phenomenon. This article examines critically the way in which Appelbaum and colleagues formulate what is at stake in the therapeutic misconception, paying particular attention to assumptions and implications that clinical trial participation disadvantages research participants as compared with receiving standard medical care. After clarifying the ethical significance of the therapeutic misconception with respect to the decision making of patients, we offer policy recommendations for obtaining informed consent to participation in clinical trials.
- SourceAvailable from: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
- "" This means that for some, opinions about biobank participation and policy issues were being formulated for the first time. Although we clarified in our education presentation and focus groups that clinical care was not the same as research participation, a number of participants expressed the expectation that biobank participation would provide interpretable findings helpful for personal clinical treatment, which is consistent with findings of possible therapeutic misconception described in other studies [Ormond et al., 2009; Miller and Joffe, 2006]. Some participants also grappled with the concept of broad consent, which was defined and explained in the education sessions. "
Article: Biobank participation and returning research results: Perspectives from a deliberative engagement in South Side Chicago[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To be respectful of the public, biobank guiding principles and operations should be responsive to and inclusive of the values and beliefs of their participants. In an effort to increase knowledge and inform institutional policies, we conducted a deliberative engagement of individuals from two healthcare facilities in South Side Chicago that serve different socioeconomic communities to consider biobank policies regarding return of research results. We recruited primary caregivers of children receiving care at either a Federally Qualified Health Center or a university-based practice to attend two full-day deliberative engagement sessions, which included four educational presentations followed by focus group discussions. Surveys were administered to assess attitudes before and after the engagement, and an evaluation was conducted to assess the deliberative engagement process. All 45 participants self-identified as African-American. Focus group themes included: (1) overall interest in biobank participation, broad consent, and recontact; (2) root causes of distrust and potential biobank strategies to facilitate trust; (3) perceived positive and negative aspects of receiving research results; and (4) strong interest in receiving and managing their children's research results. Survey data indicated the same degree of interest in receiving results about themselves as about their children. Pre- and post-session findings showed mainly non-significant attitudinal changes in level of interest in biobank participation and return of research results, although there was a decrease in level of concern regarding identification from research data. Our findings reveal shared community insights important in facilitating relationships and policy discussions between biobank researchers and research participants.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A 05/2012; 158A(5):1029-37. DOI:10.1002/ajmg.a.34414 · 2.05 Impact Factor
- "Little is known about how research participants weigh the benefits and burdens of their participation in clinical trials. Joffe and Miller (2006) rightfully argue that a risk/benefit assessment is part of any research review process . In fact, the Belmont Report, an enduring historical medical ethics document, outlines three specific ethical principles for the protection of human subjects enrolled in clinical research: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice . "
Article: Developing a Model of the Benefits and Burdens of Research Participation in Cancer Clinical Trials.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recruiting and retaining human participants in cancer clinical trials is challenging for many investigators. Although we expect participants to identify and weigh the benefits and burdens of research participation for themselves, it is not clear what burdens adult cancer participants perceive in relation to benefits. We identify key attributes and develop an initial conceptual framework of benefit and burden based on interviews with individuals enrolled in cancer clinical research. Semistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 32 patients enrolled in cancer clinical trials at a large northeastern cancer center. Krueger's guidelines for qualitative methodology were followed. Respondents reported a range of benefits and burdens associated with research participation. Benefits such as access to needed medications that subjects otherwise might not be able to afford, early detection and monitoring of the disease, potential for remission or cure, and the ability to take control of their lives through actively participating in the trial were identified. Burdens included the potentiality of side effects, worry and fear of the unknown, loss of job support, and financial concerns. Both benefit and burden influence research participation, including recruitment and retention in clinical trials. Dimensions of benefit and burden include physical, psychological, economic, familial, and social. Understanding the benefit-burden balance involved in the voluntary consent of human subjects is a fundamental tenet of research and important to ensure that subjects have made an informed decision regarding their decision to participate in clinical research.04/2012; 3(2):10-23.

A Companion to Bioethics, Second Edition, 01/2010: pages 469 - 486; , ISBN: 9781444307818
- "Even when told explicitly that a procedure is experimental and that they may not benefit from it, these patients tend to receive an invitation to enrol in a study as grounds for hope of a cure or remission. This phenomenon has been termed the 'therapeutic misconception' and its ethical significance has continued to be debated in the literature since the term was coined in 1982 (Appelbaum et al., 1982; Appelbaum and Lidz, 2006; Miller and Joffe, 2006). However, the difficulty is not only on the patients' side. "

This was terrible, way too sweet and too many flavours going on
Delicious simple and wholesome. Just what the children like.
Really tasty and very very cheesy. Nice bit of crunch as well. Not a cheap recipe though. Very easy to make, we enjoyed it. Served with a big salad.
This was very tasty with some modifications. I used a jar of pasta sauce instead of fresh tomatoes (next time will omit oil and reconsider using a jar of tomatoes instead to get rid of liquid), I used less bocconcini (160g was more than plenty!), I used the basil, cashew and parmesan dip (much nicer than the rocket one) and I added a bunch of english spinach to the ricotta (chopped and fried in the pan first). I didn't use the almonds or the parmesan. I added some diced, cooked bacon over the top for the meat-eaters in my house and it went down a treat.
This was very yummy. Definitely added to my favorite list.
This recipe is really yummy and really simple . . . if you're feeling lazy, which I generally am, you can use tomatoes from a can. I always line the dish with baking paper so they don't stick, which also helps with clean up!!
very nice, good with a salad.
This was really nice! Definitely a keeper! It was nice and quick to assemble. I used lasagne sheets instead of cannelloni sheets and the mixture made enough for 4 generous serves. Nice light fresh flavours for a vego meal.
This tasted great, but was a little fiddly. For my family of 6 adults I bought 2 packs of 12 cannelloni sheets. I used the same quantity of cheese filling, but doubled the tomato & the parsley sprinkle. The cheese mix filled 18 small cannelloni sheets. The parsley sprinkle really made this dish.
This was yum, and surprisingly easy! The fresh pasta sheets came in a pack of 12 (lattina) so I made 12. There seemed to be just the right amount of mixture for this. The sheets are smaller I think than the ones pictured here. I would also up the tomato next time.
This was SO tasty & went perfect with a little garlic bread! To be honest I was trying to follow the tip at the end of the recipe but they didn't have the Wattle Valley Dip at the supermarket - so I used the Basil dip, YUMMO!

Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
As you might have guessed, I have a lot of Linux-based T-shirts....a LOT of them. And I enjoy wearing those T-shirts. From time to time wearing the image of Tux encourages strangers who would normally never say anything to strike up a conversation. The number of security people at the airport that know about Linux and Free Software, for instance, is fairly amazing.
On the other hand, I have fewer outer garments that have Tux or "Linux" on them, and often Tux is not visible as I travel.
Another problem I have with traveling is that my luggage style is fairly common, and straining to see whether it is my bag coming down the conveyor can be annoying. Regular luggage tags are expensive, often ripped off by the machinery, and suitcase life is fairly limited. Usually a suitcase lasts me about five trips before it is beat up to the point of embarrassment, so taking a lot of time to make them 'unique' is not something I want to do.
Recently I got a box of mailing labels, size 3.5 by 5 inches. These match up with Avery(C) 5168(tm) labels, and I printed some pictures of Tux on the labels, four labels to an 8.5 x 11 page. I then applied two Tux labels to the sides of each suitcase. Now as the suitcases come down the conveyor belt I can easily see my bags from far away. If the label gets ripped off by the machinery, or if it gets dirty or beat up, I just print four more.
Having the labels on the outside of my suitcase has the added effect of a conversation starter. I was sitting in the office of a bus transportation company near my home when a man said to me "You must use Linux a lot". I explained about my connection with Linux and he told me that he had been using Linux since 1995, and did all types of kernel and network programming for embedded systems. He had never heard of our Linux user group. I invited him to join, and perhaps give some talks on work he had done, to which he agreed.
On the airplane returning from a recent trip to Brazil I sat beside a woman about my age. She saw my Tux T-shirt and said something about Linux. It turns out that she was a former employee of Sun Microsystems in the USA that had moved to Salvador, Brazil. She had (of course) used Unix, programmed in "C", JAVA, used MySQL and used other FOSS programs. We exchanged email addresses.
Make Tux a bit more visible in your life and you may find a lot of new FOSS friends....or just find your suitcase easier.

I got chris browned last night
fuck you guys, stop putting fake babies in my car the cops came again.
I think I'm going to wait until after Halloween to call off the wedding. No need to ruin my favorite holiday.
Still trying to wash and scratch the glitter off of my dick. That stripper should be banned.
You need to always be prepared. Like a sex firefighter.
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
I swear they were about to hook up!!
I know because I was in the tub taking an imaginary silent bath. They stopped cuz I gagged on my shot.
I said we should get a taxi and you were waving down cars, three of which were cops and one of them slowed down and shook his head then kept driving
she has like 12 pairs of underwear people left at her house from the other night
see that vagina ? that vagina means business
I am drinking green tea.... My liver is in shock
You made me drive your car so you could give the dude from the parking lot a BJ in the back seat. Classy.
Why wake up next to a guy when you can wake up next to a bag of chips and not have to worry about what kind of std you might've caught
I feel like we need to find him and explain that if the two of them would just fuck he'd understand.

The folks Austin-based footwear brand Helm didn't start out making their boots in America. In fact, they originally had their wares put together in Istanbul. But as the company grew, they decided to do something pretty great: bring the production back to America. To Maine, specifically, where a team of men and women now craft the collection by hand, using American components like Horween leather and fabric from New Jersey's Fairfield Textile as much as possible. The Helm team recently took a trip up to their factory to document the process, and the resulting video is an illuminating look at how a pair of American-made boots come together. Give it a watch below.

Slugging outfielder Lambo part of Pirates' first base equation
Pirates/MLB Videos
BRADENTON, Fla. — During batting practice Monday, the first day of voluntary winter workouts at Pirate City, Andrew Lambo swung a piece of lumber that once belonged to Garrett Jones.
The leftover bat might not be the only thing Lambo inherits from Jones.
Last month, after spending five seasons with the Pirates, Jones signed a free-agent deal with the Miami Marlins. That opened at least a part-time job at first base for a left-handed hitter who can platoon with Gaby Sanchez.
The Pirates pursued free-agent James Loney, but he wound up re-signing with the Tampa Bay Rays. They eyed Ike Davis, Logan Morrison and Mitch Moreland in separate trade talks, but were unable to close a deal.
There aren't many good external options left. With spring training scheduled to begin in 37 days, the Pirates are looking inward for at least a temporary solution.
"We have a game plan in place," manager Clint Hurdle said in early December during MLB's Winter Meetings. "We've talked to our guys about what we believe Sanchez can do to help us there and what Lambo can do if it works out that he gets time there."
Last year, Lambo played in a total of 19 games at first base for Triple-A Indianapolis and Double-A Altoona. From 2007-2010, in the lower levels of the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system, Lambo played in 23 games at first.
To get a crash course at first base, Lambo spent the past couple of months playing winter ball in Venezuela. Lambo played for Cardenales de Lara, along with fellow Pirates Starling Marte, Alen Hanson, Matt Hague, Gregory Polanco and Gift Ngoepe.
In 27 games for Cardenales de Lara, Lambo batted .228 with a .648 on-base plus slugging percentage. He hit six doubles and two triples. But, after whacking 32 home runs in the minors and one in a brief stint with the Pirates last season, Lambo did not go deep in winter ball.
No big deal. Lambo was in Venezuela to work on his defense.
"I started off a little slow and finished strong," Lambo said Monday. "I got in a lot of work at first base. There was a coach there who hit me 100 ground balls at first base every single day. I can't believe he had the energy to do it, but he did — every day."
For the first few games after he arrived in Venezuela, Lambo started games in right field. But over his final couple of weeks there, he was getting a lot of playing time at first base.
"It's all about getting up to game speed, and that's what I wanted to do in Venezuela," Lambo said. "It's a little quicker (at first base) than the outfield. The ball's coming at you quick. Getting the hang of that was the biggest adjustment. I had to put in the work. I wanted to get better at it, so I was out there every day."
It was the first time Lambo had played winter ball in Venezuela. He said he was too busy adjusting to the culture and fine-tuning his first base skills to worry about what moves the Pirates were trying to make in the free-agent and trade markets.
"I don't ever pay much attention to all that," Lambo said. "My job is to go out there and play. When someone tells me what to do, I do it."
