Secrets of Success
3 steps, or 10 Exercises to Incredible Health
View BRAVELUTE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from BRAVELUTE
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Even though I did 3 rounds of the 6 Week Plan with Eat to Live (Dr. Fuhrman)
I never actually felt comfortable with the program. I never felt that I understood what I was suppoed to be doing , or really NOT doing for my health. So when Dr. Fuhrman was on PBS the last time, I ordered his 3 Steps to Incredible health (3 books and a set of DVDS and membership on his website) and discovered his new concept of 10 exercises to help me ease into learning and implementing the plan.
I had put myself on level 3 before I even received his recommendation, mainly because I was having difficulty continuing to lose weight since the thyroid problem popped up. And then I started on the exercises while I read the books and watched the DVDs.
The exercises aren't like a circuit or those pesky push-ups. They are more like training for a 5 K. You get week 1 nicely under your belt and they ramp it up for exercise 2, with varying amounts of time allowed to master each new exercise and turn it a life long habit.
What I did in bits and pieces for exercise 1 - 5 is very similar to what I mastered in the 6 week plan. Consider I had been eating animal products daily, at every meal most all my life up to last October when I tried the 6 Week Plan for the first time.
But Exercise 6: reduce animal products to 2 servings a week with at least 1 vegan day in between is very different from what I was doing. I had been having a serving of egg or yogurt, or cheese daily. So this week I'm adjusting to only 2 animal product servings a week. Sometimes this one is like trying to do modified push-ups. Every once in a while I want eggs on the same day as I eat yogurt in a dessert. But it is easier when I imagine my arteries clearing out, and cholesterol emptying out of my blood stream. I'll probably take another week to get that habit in place. (or 2 or 3).
Not because it's so difficult. Though some days it is. But because Exercise 7 is next. I believe it might be a problem. I am to eliminate all things white. Flour: no problem. Sugar: no problem. Sweeteners are still a problem. Like trying to do those REAL push ups.
With the help of his recipes, I have retooled my dessert chef brain to rely on some other things besides sweeteners like stevia, splenda, maple syrup, or honey. Those other sweeteners are usually fruit, or I just find a different dessert altogether.
I have posted a recipe which was very satisfying: Possibility Cocoa Balls. I named them that because it WAS possible for me to eat what I considered to be a healthy delicious chewy dessert. AND the recipe had possibilities for substituting ingredients here and there to make a completely different dessert. AND I believe they even have the possibility to please the sweet tooth of company that might come for Sunday Dinner.
And I have learned to make delicious smoothies and fruit "ice creams" with no sweetener of any kind, and I love them!!
But NO ARTIFICAL SWEETENER still seems scary. My head knows I've found delicious alternatives. But that other place, maybe my sweet tooth? says it's just wrong. However, my sweet tooth is not in charge of my health decisions, I am. It's only for a short while to help me get rid of my cravings.
So, Onward to exercise 7 and opportunities to really get in touch with natural sweetness.
Exercise 8 , adding cooked greens is already happening with no problem.
As for 9, I've almost arrived at the sodium recommendation. I slip up once in a while, or the SP tracker does.
I hold no hope at all for exercise 10: finding 2 restaurants around here where I can get a meal that follows these guidelines. But I'm not giving up on it. We're going to our favorite restaurant Sunday and I'm going to try to have a little conversation with the chef. We'll see.
I don't think any chef can cook without touching the salt shaker!!
Can you?
Perhaps the best help was this one quote from the book:
"This program doesn't demand perfection, nor does it mean that you will never eat meat again or that you will never have a slice of birthday cake. It means tht your diet has been revamped so that high-nutrient fruits, vegetables, beans, and other foods make up the large majority of your food intake, and that you have the knowledge and skills to come even closer to superior nutrition each day. " Dr. Fuhrman, in 3 Steps to Incredible Health!: Learn it! Live It! and you'll Love it!
So are these exercises easy? Some are. Some aren't. Actually they really aren't difficult. What IS difficult is changing my 64 years of bad habits that have gotten me to this place. But NOW I have the information to help me make better choices.
Today's reading is about anabolic and catabolic something or other. I wonder where that will take me?

How exciting that you are learning so many new things about health. You are correct in that it is extremely difficult to change years of bad habits! Great job keeping an open mind and trying to change!!!

It's funny to me that I like deserts, but I rarely put sugar or sweetener on my food. Just like salt. I never add salt to me food on my plate. Broke those habits years ago.
I thought of you yesterday while I was fixing my mango smoothie for breakfast and again last night when I went out to dinner and TRIED to find something healthy to eat which isn't easy!
Thanks for all of the great info

Interesting to hear about the exercises. I've drifted away from the plan a bit but you have inspired me to get back to it. Thank you.

Is Fuhrman pushing Vegan lifestyle? I have yet to read his book. I don't want a label, I just try to eat what's best for me, and maybe limit my animal products. I already eat very little eggs, didn't eat any for the first couple of months on this journey. But until I can get more products with protein to sustain my needs, I will have to eat some of the things necessary to get it. I don't eat enough (although I feel I do) greens. So at this point, I will be eating Vegan Mon-Fri. And have my animal protein on weekends.

So happy for you that you are doing exercise style of getting healthy by Dr.F suggestions.
I am also doing my own fruits and veggies challenge started yesterday. So far so good and I haven't had any meat or daily. In the morning I had a fruits smoothie w/ beets, romain and carrots. And lunch, I had a nice salad toped with mangos and water melon. A cup of black beans. Small pice of whole grain artisan bread. It was yummy and so satisfying !!
I don't know how long my challenge will last but I will keep going as long as I can. Hopefully, "love myself enough to keep going".

Thanks for this. I can't imagine finding a restaurant in this far west Texas area (that is more Mexico than USA), that would follow those guidelines.
BTW, I order the white egg omelette with oatmeal and fresh fruit at Denny's and along with the oatmeal they provide 1/4 cup of brown sugar! I've learned to eat my oatmeal without any sweetener of any kind so I don't touch the brown sugar. But that bowl of brown sugar does things to my sugar craving brain. How can that be good for anybody?

Everybody seems to love Hudson, the Smarty Pants spawn-off that had the audacity to open in an industrial no-man's land on the outskirts of Georgetown. Me, I like Hudson when I'm in a very specific mood, a mood that November in Seattle seems to elicit quite frequently--Blue Monday, 40 degrees outside, pouring rain, dark as hell (been that way since quittin' time), and in need of a three-beer emotional parachute at a place that won't put undue strain on an already-steep weekend leisure tab.
By putting a $10.95 chili burger (incl. fries) on its specials board last night, Hudson answered that call.In some ways, Hudson's chili burger is like any other chili burger--cheese, onions, kidney beans, drizzly meat. But the caliber of hamburger was a healthy cut above what you'll be served from sloppier purveyors, and the bun wasn't so much a bun as it was a fort within which the burger lived, bordered by not two but three toasted slices of garlic bread.
It was comfort food when I needed comforting, yet couldn't afford the optimal comfort of Canlis. But then again, who really can?

Christians in the Middle East are getting a taste of what it feels like to be in the minority. Not saying it's right, but "what goes around, comes around".

The west is pretty silent on violence against middle east men, women and children. Religion is just the cause.

Please get out of the Middle Ages and live in the present. The "Well, what about..." defense wears thin. Blaming religion for all of the violence is turning a blind eye to Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Uganda, Rwanda, Darfur, the Congo in all its iterations, etc.

The fragrance stays with you 24/7. It will linger on your clothing lightly. I always get compliments and questions as to what it is whenever I wear it. I have been using this fragrance since it came out, except, of course, when I could no longer find it in the stores. Fortunately, I have found it online! Gucci needs to lower the price though. It's a great fragrance, but they would sell alot more of it if it cost a lot less!

Stargazing with Stellarium
If you like astronomy but you don't like sitting outside on cold nights, try stargazing from a virtual planetarium.
Stellarium [1] is a virtual planetarium application that simulates the night sky and shows you constellations and celestial bodies. The goal of Stellarium is to provide users with a clear, annotated view of what they would see in the night sky with eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope. Like a real planetarium, the Stellarium virtual planetarium can display a view of the sky from other locations on the Earth or other points in history. Setting Up
To use Stellarium's full feature scope, you will need to download the latest version of the program from the CVS. The cvs program, which you can install using YaST or Apt-get, is required for this. Another essential requirement is 3D drivers for your graphics adapter, as the program needs a fair amount of graphics performance. First log in to the Stellarium CVS at the command line, and press [Enter] when you are prompted for a password:

2012 Dodge Avenger Sedan SXT Plus 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
This is the 6th car I have owned and I can honestly say that I am finally driving the exact car that I wanted to be driving.
Before I bought my Avenger I had always settled for what was available (hand me down cars) as well as what was cheap and reliable.
I drove a Corolla for 12 years and that made the decision to settle for nothing less then a 6 cylinder engine that much easier.
I drove most the cars in this class (G6, Malibu, Camry etc...) as rental cars but when I rented the Avenger I was sold.
Most people on the road do not understand that it has a 3.6 liter 283 hp engine inside.
Easily enough to beat all of the cars in its class.
Fun car for sure.
The 3.6 Liter 283 hp engine. I really love it when people try to drive past me in their Camry's or whatever other piece they are driving. That lasts only a couple seconds before I blow by them and they realize they do not have the car to compete with me. The only problem I had was one day on the highway the computer stopped the acceleration around 140. I still had a half of a peddle to go but the car just wouldn't go any faster. Dang computers.
Get rid of the speed limitation in the computer.
2012 Dodge Avenger Sedan SXT Plus 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I really do love this car.
The engine is fantastic.
Awesome performance!
Its exterior is eye-catching and sleek.
The car is a combination of sporty and practical.
Now what I don't like . . .
The people who work in the service department of the dealership where I bought the car know me.
The car has been in there THAT often.
Various censors or detectors that trigger the engine light, the ABS/traction/cruise control system, a misfiring cylinder, visor clip broke off, the entire control panel (lock/window switch) in the passenger side door came out, the vents were flopping closed . . . and I have about 50k miles now.
Everything but the ABS issue was when the car was under 36k miles.
Looks, styling, performance, audio system with hard drive (no more CDs floating around the car). I bought the SXT Plus for its sporty look, the engine, and ordered it in red metallic paint. :-)
Censors, censors, censors. Are they supposed to be disposable? It worries me that for as low as my odometer is (2012 model with 50k miles), it's had all these problems. Sure, they are relatively minor except for the misfire & ABS system issues. There are so many issues, though. My boss even commented on how often my car is in the shop. The cosmetic things - visor clip, door control panel, vents - should not be wearing out at under 36k miles. It makes me feel as if the components are cheap & basically disposable. I'm very disappointed in this aspect of the car.
2012 Dodge Avenger Sedan SXT Plus 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
My wife and I went to drive a Charger. We looked at a few, when she spotted this number on the side of the lot. We went through four different Chargers before we drove the Avenger, and I was completely blown away.
The 3.6 in this destroys the same engine in my '12 Durango, this car was what that engine was built for. Absolutely thunderous performance above and beyond anything we drove, anywhere. No Accord, No Maxima, no Malibu or Fusion or anything came close to touching it in performance. Full leather is nice, electronics rock, build quality makes me hope that this is a trend for American Automakers, it's so good.
PERFORMANCE!!! Drives like a car way more expensive and/or foreign. Shocked that it's considered the "most American built car", as we are led to believe that Americans don't build cars this well. Fit/Finish are perfect, lines are right on, everywhere.
Visibility in blind spot is kind of a bear. Would prefer the exterior to take on more styling from the Charger/Dart/Durango than the Journey/Grand Caravan/Caliber. Still, best drive in a V6 sold in the US for <$25K.
2012 Dodge Avenger Sedan SXT Plus 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Copperhead Pearlcoat SXT Plus 3.6L V6
With only 308 miles on it as of today, my average MPG is 30.3 which includes city and hwy.
I LOVE the 283 HP (smoked a similar import yesterday!)
Another interesting fact about my Avenger is that Dodge is no longer carrying the Copperhead Pearlcoat paint line. It was discontinued on April 1st, 2012. Thankfully I was able to purchase mine last weekend!
The interior is a huge improvement for any of the DCJF lines, no more cheap plastic or uncomfortable seating.
I am a very picky and easily annoyed driver/owner and for once, I have NO complaints! I hated my Jeep GC and was hesitant to purchase another DCJF, the Avenger proved me wrong!
MPG, Horsepower,much improved interior, body lines, comfort, 6 speed automatic shifts like butter!
The only thing I would improve would be the wheel choices, I love the Chrysler 200 S wheels and I think they would look amazing on the Avenger.

Expert Advice
Low-cut, crew-cut and no-show socks are great for casual runners, whether you're hitting the track or logging miles on a treadmill. These styles of socks keep your feet protected and comfortable while sitting low on the ankle to prevent over heating your legs. Knee socks and compression socks improve blood circulation, covering your entire calf to deliver stamina and performance. Triathletes and endurance runners often turn to extended socks to reduce injuries and cramping.
Choose running socks designed with breathable, soft fabrics. Mesh venting works to keep your feet dry and cool along the course. Reinforced seams along high-wear areas, like the toe and heel, ensure added durability.
Choose socks with anatomic padding along high-stress areas for additional comfort.
Find everything you need for your runbrowse the Running Shop at DICKS Sporting Goods for running apparel, shoes and accessories.
Compression socks boost performance by increasing blood circulation, but choose a pair that fits both the size of your foot and your calfs circumference. Socks that are too tight can impair circulation, while socks that are too loose offer no benefit over regular socks.

With every Android update, there are many changes. However, some of the changes may not be all that useful at all. Because of this, we are going to take a look at the changes from the smart phone update from 2.3 to 4.0.
(Update: The Android 4.1 JB update is out and we have the vs between 4.0 and 4.1. To check out the vs between 4.0 and 4.1, click here.)
While the 4.0 update looks great, we found there were many fun but useless things within the update. Because of this, we are labeling below what we found useful and useless in the actual use of the phone. Please keep in mind you may find some of the useful things being useless and vice versa depending on your lifestyle and your job/jobs.
Also, remember this is software. That means things could massively change between when I wrote this and when you read this.
- One of the most useful things on the new ICS update that 2.3 did not have is data control. Being able to see your data usage and even putting limits will keep you from paying overage on your bills. However, this can be 100% useless if you have an unlimited data plan with your provider.
- Gmail and Google calendar has a major update and it feels like your messing with a 3.0 tablet. Both apps are highly organize in the new update and they are easier to navigate. The reason why we see this as a useful update is it will save time and it's easier for new users.
- The browser has a much-needed update. From the default browser you may use your bookmarks you made on your Google Chrome browser on your computer. This in return saves a huge amount of time searching for websites that you normally go to.
- On of the other much-needed updates on the default browser is tabs. We found the tabs itself would had been better on top of the browser like Dolphin Browser (an Android app) or most any browser on your computer. But, in this case something is at least better than nothing.
One thing we did find useless but cool was swiping the tabs away. It's useless because you can achieve the same thing with a X but we aren't complaining because it's flat-out cool.
- Out through my time helping people with Android's I found there is 2 questions that is repeatedly asked. The first is why isn't FaceBook working and the other is how can I take a screen shot without rooting. While the update doesn't take care of FaceBook constantly messing up, it does allow you to take screen shots without rooting your phone.
- A useful to some update is the speech to text system. The speech to text system now writes things as you say them.
- A most needed update is the notification bar. In 2.3 and earlier updates you had to clear all notifications to remove them. Now in 4.0 you can simply swipe the useless notifications away.
- The camera now takes instant pictures. Before most phones had to render the pictures but now the pictures render almost automatically.
- The widgets in the older Android models were shown on a scroll list. Now the widgets are shown in a preview like layout. But, please note not all the widgets have a preview, in which case, it gives out the outline and an icon in the middle of the outline.
- While the widgets had a much-needed update they have something important taken away. Now you can not press and hold on the screen and get widgets. You must go to the app tray and click widgets on the top to get to the widgets.
- Another thing we found useless is the changes to the contact page. While it's nice to input your own data, it's useless to change the UGI.
- Face unlocker is cool but 100% useless. A huge problem to face unlocker is if your inside or its night-time, the camera can't see you. But one of the worst things about it is it's not secure. Because all modern front facing cameras only have 1 camera , a 2D image is just as good as a 3D image. This means someone can take a picture of you and unlock it from the picture. (Google even announce this feature is not secure)
- A useless feature but "fun" feature is messing with images as your taking them with your camera. Now you can make a person's head bigger or smaller or so on. But in all honesty, unless if your that bored, in the movie business, or below the age of 17 this feature is useless.
- Easter egg. If you remember the flying toasters from After Dark Screensavers then you will know where the flying Androids came from. The reason why we are labeling this as useless is you can not use this as a screen saver or for anything else. We will not spoil the fun on finding how to activate it but there is no function to the Easter egg.
- The map has a cool look to it now but it's actually harmful to new users. The buttons are moved to the bottom with no labels. This means if your late to the Android party then you will have to click on a random button and hope for the best.
- One of the things I'm calling as a harmful update while most of you may love it is the new settings menu. The only reason why I say it's more of a bad then good is when I try to help others on their pre 4.0 Android device I can't do a mock on my device to tell them what to do.
For those of you who do not know, all settings menu from the 1.5 to 2.3 is the same but with things added to it with almost each update. On 4.0 on the home screen when you press menu you get "systems settings". This isn't to bad because you can figure out where it goes from the name of it. But, it's starts getting iffy because some of the settings are taken away and some are added.
- UGI changes. Honestly I love them but they are useless. If you already have an Android device and just want them then download a launcher.
Overall I like the 4.0 download but I'm not doing complete back flips for it. The major changes are really in the UGI and everything else besides the screen shot can be achieve by an app or a launcher. If you are getting a new Android phone then we must advice you to pick up a 4.0 Android. But, if your phone is doing what you want it to do then just hold off until you need it.
However, to save everyone money, we have a post with a link to the list of 4.0 ROMS.
(If you think we should add something to this list then please comment below)
(Update: The Android 4.1 JB update is out and we have the vs between 4.0 and 4.1. To check out the vs between 4.0 and 4.1, click here.)

LOS ANGELES (TICKER) -- Two innings after tying the Atlanta Braves' home run record, Chipper Jones eclipsed it with a solo blast off Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Chin-hui Tsao in the eighth inning Thursday.
With the blast, which followed a sixth-inning shot off Eric Stults, Jones moved past Dale Murphy on Atlanta's all-time list with 372 homers. Hank Aaron, who played for the Braves in both Milwaukee and Atlanta, holds the franchise mark of 733 homers. Thirdbaseman Eddie Matthews also hit over 400 homeruns with the Braves' franchise, but most of those with the Milwaukee Braves.
Murphy hit 371 homers for Atlanta over 14 seasons from 1976-90.

So, I like crafting virtual stuff...
I forgot I even had a blog here. So here's the first in what I hope will be a very interesting series of blogs. if not interesting, at least i get to get various things off my chest.
I was just thinking about why I like crafting in with MMORPGs. I find that I'm always the support character, so I'm almost always the crafter and sometimes a healer. I guess I just want to be needed.
I'm a Roleplayer at heart. Who knows when, back in the days of AOL, I found Chatroom based RPs and soon after MUDs and MUSHes (I still play, actually. When I have time, that is) When I do, I'm always the healer or the Master Herbalist or something along that line. So, I guess it just carried over to my MMO-playing.
I think crafting and other tradeskills such as harvesting and such give players something else a break from killing and questing. Or, it could be just another skill the grind. There are a few games that I've found recently that have systems that are much better and much more involved than just: "Got mats, got skills, click craft x100 and level"
I like the crafting systems that are much more. How much you make and the quality of what you make are determined by the skills of the character as well as the player behind it. To me, this is good. It leaves the profit to those who are either very lucky when it comes to pressing buttons and stuff or the really skilled and dedicated.
So far I've found EQ2 - You gather the mats then you click create. But, then there are events that you have to react to. You can do much more than required to pump of the durability of the item or speed up the process. You have to get to know the crafting arts a little bit to make sure you can make it all the way to the end. I've only been playing EQ2 for about a day or so, but this seems like a cool distraction from questing.
Also there's Puzzle Pirates. Of course. everything is tied to puzzle. Last I checked (a few months ago), almost every craft had a puzzle associated with it. The better you did at the puzzle, the better quality of the work. For example, beginners may get basic labor while more experienced players may be able to land more "Vagases" and "Donkeys" to be able to get expert labor.
Well, I'm going off tangent and this is turning about to be a lot longer than I thought. Plus, I'm getting sleepy. I guess I'll rant and rave about MMO crafting later.
I also really enjoy EQ2 crafting. I have 7 level 80 crafters on Nagafen PvP server (Jeweler, Armorer, Tailor, Weaponsmith, Provisioner, Sage & Alchemist) and my Armorer is also a 75 transmuter.
However, I recently took up Vanguard and I have to say the crafting in that game is very cool and challenging. Much like old EQ2 crafting. Might want to check it out, especially if you already have the SOE station pass thing...Mon Aug 18 2008 6:03AM Report
I personally found the EQ2 crafting system rather dull and extremely grindy. Then again they may have made crafting a little more valued recently, I heard they revamped many of the crafted items.
Maybe I was just spoiled by the ridiculously deep SWG crafting.Mon Aug 18 2008 10:35PM Report
You like crafting, try Eve, everything in the game is made by the players. While most people associate Eve with pvp, I am an industrialist and rarely get involved in fights at all. The number of things you can make in Eve far surpases any other game. Eve is even better than pre NGE SWG where I also crafted until SOE destroyed the crafting system.Mon Aug 18 2008 11:23PM Report
While the act of creating items is not too hard. Blueprint of item being crafted, minerals (which you mine from rocks in space, you get certain minerals based on the rock you mine, than you've got to process it, depending on your skills you'll get a certain amount of waste lost in the process of refining) and find a manufacturing installation to install it (which is nigh impossible in certain systems and constellations) and install. This is all Tech 1. Tech 2 is much more involved and costly, I've not gotten into that.I'm usually my combat pilot rather than my mining/manufacturing alt.Mon Aug 18 2008 11:59PM Report
StreetSweeper: I never thought about trying Vanguard, since there wasn't a TRY IT! on the SOE Launcher. I've been too lazy to see if there is another way to get one. The web site piqued my interests, though, but my wallet tells me that I can't just buy a game without trying it first.
Daelus: I can see what you are saying. Maybe after I've done it a few hundred times I may feel the same way. I'm just happy its a bit removed from the "click until I run out of mats" way of crafting. I've been wanting to try out SWG, but I've heard so manay negatives. Its still on my "MAYBE" list though
Ozmodanan and Drazhathan: I tried Eve a while ago. All the stories I've heard about Corps being scammed made me various curious. Too bad, I didn't have too much time to really get into it. I think I played about 2 or of my 14 day trial and most of that was spent doing missions and chasing 'rats.
Maybe this weeken I'll give it another go. I hear there is a bit of Corp RP to be found there, as well. So why not?
Thanks for the replies!Tue Aug 19 2008 8:36PM Report

The challenge of inspiring and nurturing innovation in Sydney will be tackled by an exceptional panel featuring Chris Anderson, head of the influential TED talks, at the Smart Sydney City Talks on May 28.
Creative and technological breakthroughs don't happen without technical skill and great ideas, but they also need good social networks, a creative environment and financial support.
How do we create an environment for innovation in Sydney – and how do we nurture those start up projects and businesses, to create the mid-sized and larger businesses of the future? That's the question our expert panel will discuss on Monday night.
Panel members include Nick Leeder (Managing Director, Google Australia and New Zealand), Hael Kobayashi (Executive Director, Creative Innovation, University of Technology Sydney), Ann Mossop (Head of Public Programs, Sydney Opera House and co-curator, Festival of Dangerous Ideas), Mark Scott OA (Managing Director, Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and David Vandenberg (Director, Fishburners).
We'll discuss how the government, business, education and media sectors can work together to create a Sydney that not only fosters innovation and inspiration – but also showcases it to the world.
I encourage you to join us on Monday night to discuss these issue at the State Theatre, 49 Market Street from 6pm. Tickets are free but booking is essential on 1300 139 588.

Symantec warned users of the flaw via its DeepSight Threat Management Service. Backup Exec is a network-enabled backup product Symantec acquired when it purchased storage company Veritas Software Corp. in late 2004.
It said Backup Exec for Netware Servers with remote agent for Windows servers is prone to multiple heap-overflow vulnerabilities that arise because the application fails to perform boundary checks prior to copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers.
"Specifically, these issues affect the RPC interfaces of the application and arise when specially crafted calls are processed," Symantec said. "A remote attacker may exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code and gain system privileges on a vulnerable computer. Failed attack attempts may result in denial of service conditions as well."
Backup Exec 9.1 and 9.2 for Netware Servers remote agent for Windows servers are vulnerable to these issues, Symantec said, adding, "Reports indicate that these or similar issues also affect Backup Exec for Windows servers, Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server (CPS) remote agent, and other Backup Exec remote agents."
To carry out an attack, Symantec said digital miscreants must identify a vulnerable computer running the affected application, then craft an exploit that sends malicious calls over RCP to the application to trigger one of the vulnerabilities. The exploit would contain excessive data, arbitrary machine code and replacement memory addresses.
"If successful, the attacker-supplied code will be executed, resulting in granting unauthorised access to the remote attacker," Symantec said. "This may result in a full compromise."
Symantec did point out that it's not aware of any exploits at this time.
Backup Exec 9.1.1158.9 for Netware Servers with RAWS 4691.42 Hotfix 58 and Backup Exec 9.2.1401.3 for Netware Servers with RAWS 5629.3 Hotfix 34 have been released to address the flaw, Symantec said.

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) are coming into their own as mainstream pharmaceutical products. Oral thin films (OTFs) have also come into strong prominence with the launch of Suboxone® (buprenorphine and naloxone) thin films demonstrating a huge potential for thin films in prescription products. Statistics have shown that four out of five patients prefer orally disintegrating dosage forms over conventional solid oral dosages. These factors, coupled with convenience and compliance advantages, have been (and will continue to) pave the way for ODT and OTF drug product growth.
The ODT and OTF markets are discussed in depth in this latest edition of
Orally Disintegrating Tablet and Film Technologies
. Key information presented in the report includes the growing Japanese generic market, ODTs in the emerging markets, ODT and OTF pipeline analysis, innovative developments for delivery of proteins and peptides via ODTs and OTFs, and new nutraceutical thin film technologies and products.
The report also includes a market analysis of both ODTs and OTFs, sales of leading ODT products from 2010 to 2011, ODT brand erosion by generics, late stage prescription OTFs, and the sales potential for OTFs with key APIs. Most importantly, the report contains screened and confirmed business and technology licensing opportunities from around the globe.

Alan Valiev was driving his car on Northgate Way in March when he heard a loud "crack." He'd hit a pothole. And the impact from the hole had broken several expensive components of his wheel assembly. Fortunately for Valiev, he was able to submit a damage claim with the city of Seattle and, he hopes, will lead to getting his $1,200 repair bill paid on the taxpayers' dime.
Valiev isn't alone. In fact, in the first year since Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn took office, nearly three times as many drivers have sought compensation from the city for pothole-related damage than in previous years.
Responding to a public-records request by Seattle Weekly, the city's Department of Finance and Administrative Services provided figures that show a 270% increase in the number of pothole claims submitted to the city and a 241% increase in the amount of money paid on those claims, as compared to the average amount in each of the previous four years.
Here are some charts showing the increase in claims and amount paid out.
There are a few plausible scenarios for what would lead to such a spike in the number of pothole claims. If the city was somehow promoting its pothole-claim submittal services more than usual, or had streamlined it in some way, that might explain it. Also, if the 2010 winter had been somehow significantly more severe than previous years, that might partially explain it as well.
The first reason is simply not the case. The claim-submitting process for the city hasn't changed, and consists of a generic form that's used for nearly all damage-compensation requests.
The Seattle Department of Transportation says the latter reason is to blame. "We had the severe freeze of Thanksgiving weekend and then the Pineapple Express the next month and had record rainfall," says SDOT Operations Manager Steve Pratt. "It was a confluence of the worst possible events for asphalt paving."
Pratt also says that cuts in staffing (the department lost 22 positions last year) have impacted SDOT greatly. He then provided data that showed a significant uptick in the number of potholes reported and repaired in Seattle in 2010 as compared to previous years.
McGinn's spokesperson Aaron Pickus, meanwhile, says that the data we're looking at is flawed because it's broken down by years beginning in July and not January. Essentially, he says that since the mayor took office in January 2010 and the year in question (as measured by FAS) started in July of that year, the numbers aren't an accurate reflection of the McGinn administration's road stewardship.
Mike McGinn, pothole baron.
Yet there's no denying that the year in question is the first full year year's worth of FAS figures (according to how the city agency tabulates such figured and fulfilled our request) which coincide with McGinn's tenure, and they show a significant spike in pothole claims.
For Valiev, who works as an account executive with a local cellular phone company, all he knows is that driving around Seattle is like driving through a minefield. "I think the pothole problem has gotten way worse," says Valiev. "It feels like the city just isn't paying attention."
Mechanics are noticing the increase in pothole damages too. A technician at Best Service & Repair on 96th Street who worked on Valiev's car says that mechanics have never seen so many pothole-damaged vehicles as in the last year. "This last year was the worst we've ever seen," says the technician, who asked not to be named. "We've seen so many cars come in with pothole damage, it's hard to count."
There's no doubt that managing potholes is not an exact science. The number of holes and their severity depends on several factors, many of which are not dependent on any steps that the city is able to take. And, by all accounts, 2010 was not a good year for asphalt in Seattle thanks to the weather.
But whether the winter was actually almost three times as bad as normal--as the data relating to claims certainly implies--remains a bit of a stretch.
Whatever the case, the McGinnistration needs only look to its predecessor Greg Nickels and his 2010 primary thumping for lessons on the importance of nipping the pothole problem in the bud.
Then again, with a 23 percent approval rating, McGinn could likely fix every pothole in Seattle with his own bare hands and still not get reelected.
*Updated to show that data provided by FAS is not measured in fiscal years, but rather in calendar years that begin in July. Updated again to show that Valiev has not been compensated by the city yet. He's still awaiting his claim being approved.

Prehistory to Politics: John Mulvaney, the Humanities and the Public Intellectual (Paperback)Tim Bonyhady, Tom Griffiths
Paperback Published: 31/10/1992
- Not available
Who are public intellectuals? Why do they matter? What is the difference between an academic and an intellectual? Prehistory to Politics explores these issues by examining the life and work of John Mulvaney, one of Australia's foremost prehistorians, who has both changed our understanding of the past and made a major contribution to public debate and public policy about world heritage, archaeological and conservation practice, the function and operation of museums and the relevance of the humanities. A major campaigner for preservation of the Franklin River in the early 1980s, Mulvaney has also been an influential member of the Australian Heritage Commission and one of the most important advocates of the National Museum of Australia. He played a significant role in the campaign to preserve the site of First Government House in Sydney. Perhaps most controversially, he has been outspoken in his views about the return of skeletal remains by Australian Museums to Aboriginal people. In exploring these many facets of Mulvaney's work, Prehistory to Politics not only has much to say about the changing nature of Australian universities and the opportunities and obligations of academics but also casts new light on a wide set of archaeological, anthropological and environmental issues. It is both a history of ideas and a book about their implementation.

#26511 new feature request
Separate locale for the admin toolbar
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
When a site's content is displayed in a language that's different to that used in the admin area [1] by using the locale filter in get_locale(), the admin toolbar is shown in the language of the content, not the language of the admin area.
For example, if your content is in French (using fr_FR in the locale filter) but your admin area is in English (using en_US in the locale filter) then the admin toolbar on the front end will display in French rather than English.
The value of get_locale() is used when the translation files are loaded at the beginning of the page load, but there's no easy way to subsequently switch locale and load a different set of translation files later in the page load (ie. when we output the admin toolbar in the footer).
We should introduce a means of changing the locale at any point during the page load and automatically loading in the relevant translation files, overriding existing ones. This could then be used to switch the language before admin-related output on the front end (primarily the admin toolbar, but potentially any admin-related item).
Leaving this as a feature request for now because I don't have a solution in mind.
[1] Several plugins support this, such as WPML, Babble and Admin in English.

A locale-switching function would be nice to have.
I think this will be something core will need to look into once we start having an in-dashboard language chooser, whereby the pack for that language can be downloaded automatically on selection. At that point, the next logical step would be to allow a user to choose their dashboard language independently from the site's locale.
In theory, this is easy to do. (See the Admin in English plugin.) In practice, it's akin to using the admin in SSL and the frontend using HTTP — core is surely doing something somewhere that causes whatever happens in the admin to trickle into the frontend (so, the equivalent of #15928), and we'll need to figure out those and patch things up.
Anyway, a locale-switching function could be implemented along the lines of switch_to_blog(). As of right now it'd need to be just two things: a filter on 'locale' (there's also a $locale global, though YMMV in the future) followed by a call to load_default_textdomain(). Un-switching is a matter of unhooking the filter and re-calling load_default_textdomain(). (YMMV due to this). That's expensive, though. For core to have this functionality, we should start storing loaded translations on a per-language basis, so as not to obliterate the object in memory, to allow for a switch-back when done without re-calling load_default_textdomain().

Previously: #1550

For core strings you can switch language for admin bar, I made a gist with example coincidentally exactly a year ago.
If you want admin bar in en_US and plugins add admin bar items at admin bar hooks, you could have admin bar in en_US by using gettext filters conditionally like in example above.
Problem for not being able to load translations later for plugins and themes is because their translation is loaded once and there is no information about that textdomain (location, type). If we want a language switcher, we need to store that information since I don't see other way to load plugins and themes translations later.
You could actually do this now by hooking to load_*_textdomain() functions but that is complicated.
Note that on wpcom you can set interface language on profile and that will be used on admin bar even if you browse sites in other languages, don't know how do they do that.
2 years ago
On WP.com, we already have something like this that works in a similar way to switch_to_blog() and lets you restore the previous language(s) when you want.
I'm going to look into adapting it for core - it won't work as is because of the way we rely on a single textdomain.
2 years ago
switch_to_locale.php is mostly how we do it on wp.com - I just added incomplete support for additional textdomains. It's incomplete because I can't see a way to know where to get the mo files for plugins and themes when switching the locale.
Thinking aloud: maybe we introduce something like register_textdomain() that stores the location of mo files somewhere for later use. Haven't really thought this through.

Related: if you have a multilingual network (i.e. sites have different locales), then things that loop over the sites can break.
<?php get_blog_option( 1, 'WPLANG' ) == ''; get_blog_option( 2, 'WPLANG' ) == 'de_DE'; // The site you start on will have the correct translations get_current_blog_id() == 1; get_locale() == 'en_US'; __( 'Hello' ) == 'Hello'; // Switch to a different site, and things start not making sense switch_to_blog( 2 ); get_locale() == 'de_DE'; __( 'Hello' ) == 'Hello'; // Should be translated "Hallo"
This is causing a bug for us, as we loop over all sites to send a newsletter on each site. When we switch to the site, we generate an email for the site then send it. Turns out we're actually sending out a bunch of emails in the wrong language right now. :)

New London - Twenty-six years ago, the city manager asked Reid Burdick to fill in as emergency management director until someone could be named permanently to the post.
On July 1, Burdick will give up the $10,000-a-year position, which he has held since 1987, and emergency management duties will be shifted to the deputy police chief.
"I'm happy to trot off into the sunset,'' Burdick said Tuesday. "For 2½ decades, I've done the best that I can. This wasn't designed to be a career."
Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard will assume the duties of emergency management director, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said Tuesday.
"My desire since I took office was to put emergency management into the hands of a professional emergency management personnel who is a full-time, paid city employee,'' Finizio said.
Burdick, who also will give up his duties as hearing officer for disputed parking tickets, said he always believed emergency management should be a professional, paid job.
"There's a right way to do it, and there's a better way,'' Burdick said. "It really should be done in a more comprehensive manner."
The duties originally were going to be shifted to the deputy fire chief, Finizio said. But Deputy Chief Henry Kydd was appointed chief last month, and the deputy fire chief position was eliminated in the 2013-14 budget.
Reichard will work closely with Tammy Daugherty, who also is the director of the Office of Planning and Development, Finizio said.
Although Reichard lives about 40 miles from the city, Finizio said that would not be a problem because the office is more about planning for an emergency rather than directing an emergency. Finizio said that in an emergency, he is on duty along with the police chief and the fire chief.
The city spends $20,000 a year on the emergency management department, which includes Burdick and two firefighters, who each are paid $5,000 annually. Burdick said $10,000 of the department's funds come from grants. The money will be merged into the police budget, Finizio said.
He praised Burdick for his dedication to the city.
"I thanked Reid ... and I continue to thank him,'' Finizio said. "He did a good job for the city when no one else was ready to do that. We genuinely thank him for his hard work."
Burdick's last day of hearing parking ticket complaints is today.
It is a volunteer position he has held for more than 20 years, when former City Manager Richard Brown added the duties as part of emergency management.
Finizio said he will be looking for a lawyer to take over the position. "Hopefully, we will find an attorney to act pro bono,'' he said.
The magistrate, as he or she would be called, also would hear civilian police complaints that already have gone through the Police-Community Relations Committee, the mayor said.
In the old form of government, the city manager heard those complaints. Two years ago, the city changed to an elected mayor form of government.
"The system of government has changed and we want to streamline emergency management to fit the new government,'' he said.

My husband and I left our 4 month old son home last night with a babysitter for the first time. All went well except for the fact that he refused to eat from the bottle (breastmilk) at all! He's never been a great bottle feeder (admittedly it doesn't happen that often) but now it seems even worse. Anyone have any experience with this? Any bottles our there that breastfed babies have a better time with?
Best Bottle for Breast-fed Babies?
Mom to Natalie (Sept '07), and Caitlyn (Dec '11)
Member since Jun 30 2011
I recommend the orthodontic nipples on the playtex drop ins or ventair. It squishes flat like your nipple does when you are breastfeeding and the milk squirts towards the top of LO's mouth like it does when nursing. HTH!!
Katie DD 3/16/09, DS 2/16/10, and changing it up with DD2 10/22/2011 (34 week preemie) EBF, ERF, BW, CDing, AP and loving it!
The best advice I can give is the only good bottle for breastfed babies is the one YOUR baby will take. I tried the Breastflow and the drop ins and the Medela ones and the Tommee Tippee and...you get the picture. Now she takes a sippy like it's her job after all that struggle.
Bottom line-be consistent with one bottle and don't fret if she won't take one. We just go out after she's asleep. :)
DS likes playtex dropins with the latex fast flow nipple. Latex and silicone nipples have a different feel, and your baby might like one more than another. We tried lots of different bottles and nipples to see what the baby liked (or disliked least really). Also, DS needs the milk to be *very* warm or he refuses it. The sitter has to rewarm the milk mid-feed to keep it warm enough for him. My theory is that the baby likes the bottle that is most like your breast. I have a really wide flat aereola, and a really fast let-down and flow, so I think the wide latex fast-flow nipple on the playtex drop-in mimics that best.
