Tulle skirts are perfect for a ballerina, but they can also be worn with rave wear, Harajuku style, or as part of custom outfits. Add a tutu to you Halloween costume or wear it as part of your outfit for a dance competition.

HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands' sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer-turned-cop, returned to Oahu to investigate his father's murder and stayed after Hawaii's former governor persuaded him to head up the new team: his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest "game" in town. Joining McGarrett is Detective Danny "Danno" Williams, a relocated ex-New Jersey cop – a working man in paradise who prefers skyscrapers to the coastline – but who's committed to keeping the Islands safe for his young daughter; Chin Ho Kelly, an ex-Honolulu police detective and former protégé of McGarrett's father who was wrongly accused of corruption; Dr. Max Bergman, the quirky coroner; Chin's cousin, Kono Kalakaua, a beautiful and fearless native; and Captain Lou Grover, who formerly headed Hawaii's SWAT unit. Joining them is Jerry Ortega, a former classmate of Chin's and the Island's local conspiracy theorist. The state's brash FIVE-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, remain determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.

Kourtney and Kim Take New York: Kourtney Finds Kim's Single Girl Partying Exhausting
January 25, 2011 11:00 AM by Paula_Kosowski
Kourtney Kardashian might be in New York with sister Kim for E!'s Kourtney and Kim Take New York, but that doesn't mean she's adopting Kim's "single girl" partying lifestyle. In fact, the young mom tells PopEater she actually finds it tiring. Keep reading to see what else the Kardashians had to say about their new show and life in the big city…
PopEater caught up with the Kardashian sisters backstage at the "Today" show to chat about their new E! show "Kourtney and Kim Take New York."
Kourtney tells the website Kim arrived in New York in "single girl mode" and "was ready to hit the town." PopEater reports new mom Kourtney wasn't so keen on partying and would ditch Kim when her friends showed up.
Kim tells PopEater she understands why her sister didn't want to go out.
"I get it, she has a new baby and kinda wanted to chill out, so it was kind of selfish of me to try and pull her out every night," Kim says.
The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" spin-off show follows sisters Kourtney and Kim's adventures as they open up a Dash Boutique in New York.
PopEater asked the reality stars the all-important question of whether they prefer East Coast or West Coast guys. Their response: "Guys in LA think they're really cool, but guys in New York are really cool."
While Kourtney's not as into partying as Kim, the show still promises a lot of drama along the way.
Another Kardashian sister not keen on joining the party in New York is Khloe. According to Kourtney, the newlywed didn't want to come to New York as she was more interested in spending time with husband Lamar Odom.
Kourtney and Kim's new show "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on E!

Predictions for the upcoming hunting season
No one really knows how a hunting season will turn out.
A lot of things can go wrong. Foul weather sometimes dampens hunters' hopes. Food shortages can cause animals to change their habits. Food abundances can, too. Disease occasionally takes a toll.
There are human factors, too. It sometimes takes years for hunters to adjust to new seasons or regulation changes. Hunters who don't like the changes sometimes even "vote with their feet" and refuse to participate.
This is my 32nd year as an outdoors columnist. I'm neither an expert on wildlife nor an expert at divining hunters' thoughts. I'm an experienced observer, though, and have opinions as to things that might happen during West Virginia's 2012 hunting season.
Here are some of my thoughts:
Funny how all those concerns about meat spoilage suddenly disappear when antlers are involved. Last year, hunters couldn't be inconvenienced to put a cooler filled with ice into their vehicles; this year they'll happily do it.
Biologists acknowledge that the turkey population isn't quite as high now as it was then, but they say the fall off has more to do with hunters' tastes than turkey numbers. Many of the sportsmen who hunted turkeys in past years have switched to bowhunting for deer.
Decades' worth of DNR data show a direct relationship between mast and the way hunters kill bears. When mast is plentiful, the gun kill is higher. When mast is scarce, the bow kill is higher.
One, it's a new season, and DNR officials say it takes hunters two or three years to adjust to major season changes; two, it comes at a time just before the whitetail rut, and hunters might be more interested in bowhunting for pre-rut bucks than they are in using a gun to kill a doe; and three, many Mountain State deer hunters simply refuse to hunt antlerless deer.
You'd think that in a state where 230,000 people identify as hunters, a greater percentage would try to take advantage of abundant goose, wood duck and mallard populations. There's never been much of a waterfowl-hunting tradition here, though, and that's probably why participation remains low.
Aside from these not-so-bold predictions, the upcoming hunting season is a complete mystery. So - forward into the unknown! Have fun, everyone.

The OCD Workbook: Your Guide to Breaking Free from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
by Bruce M. Hyman, Ph.D., and Cherry Pedrick, R.N.New Harbinger Publications, Inc., 1999. 198 pages. Paperback: $18.95
Review by Dick Rowson, Bert Growald, and Sondra B. Kaska, NAMI Literature Committee
Those unfamiliar with obsessive-compulsive disorder will find The OCD Workbook a perceptive introduction to the illness. People with OCD and their families can learn about a very useful program of cognitive-behavior therapy capable of significantly enhancing their ability to cope with the disorder.
Hyman is a psychologist in private practice and director of the OCD Resources Center of South Florida. In both roles, he specializes in the treatment of adults and children with OCD. Cherry Pedrick is a registered nurse who, herself, has OCD, and she is a freelance writer living in Las Vegas.
Although this workbook spells out a self-directed program for someone with OCD, it states at the outset the need to work with a therapist skilled in the treatment of this illness and discusses the value of medication and family involvement for successful treatment. One of the reviewers with long, personal experience with mental illness cautions that Hyman does not place enough emphasis on the important role of the therapist. The self-directed treatment plan Hyman and Pedrick present should not be viewed as a do-it-yourself manual, and it should not be implemented without professional guidance.
However, the authors' cognitive-behavior plan is clear and well organized. It is also well illustrated with concrete case studies that should help ill people and family members to recognize OCD symptoms and the need to deal with them and to understand and accept treatment. The treatment plan includes help with self-assessing OCD symptoms, a "road map" or anxiety list that ranks fear-producing simulations, and a plan for addressing them. There are worksheets for personal use and illustrated guides for completing them. One reviewer questioned the number of forms and the need to complete them, but another applauded the encouragement and technical assistance they offered consumers with OCD.
The OCD Workbook book also has brief but useful chapters about OCD in children, psychiatric disorders that resemble OCD or co-exist with OCD, and coping suggestions for family members.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Chainrings in stock than that.View Similar Products
FSA Super Outer 10 Speed Chainring $0.00
FSA makes these 10-speed Super Outer Chainrings for their own cranksets, but they're also a great choice for Shimano cranksets as well. They're ramped and pinned, so you'll get top-notch shifting quality with no chain suck. The Super is made from CNC-machined AL7075 T-6 alloy. The design calls for more aluminum left in place near the interface points between ring and spider. This thickness gives the Super Chainrings added flex-resistance -- ideal for hard accelerations. Please note that these rings are for 10-speed double-chainring cranksets only.
FSA makes three Super Outer rings: A 53t/130mm compatible with both Shimano and FSA non-compact cranksets; and 50t/110mm and 52t/110mm rings compatible only with FSA compact cranksets.

i have a FSA SL-K Light, carbon, BB30 with...
i have a FSA SL-K Light, carbon, BB30 with a shimano ultegra di2 6770 group. it has 52/36 chainrings. Can i put this 53 and a 39?? is it compatible?
Hi Arturo,
It comes down to the Bolt Center Diameter of your Crank. I checked on FSA's website, and the SL-K LIGHT Crankset with 52/36 rings uses a compact 110 mm BCD. The 53 tooth chainring we are selling uses a standard 130 cm BCD, so it will not fit. Here is the link to the product on the manufacturer's website:
Please let us know if you have other questions.

What I have done is to own a "SPOT" and use this regularly. I have the original version and my wife can see on a website where I am and track my movement in the field. For more extreme hunts like when I backpacked for a sheep, I rented a sat phone for one month. I would call in for a few minutes every evening when I was settled in camp. The extra insurance was worth the money.
I run a SPOT 2 and I am very happy with it.
i use a spot. very reassuring to family. and i can be used to create jealosy to friends that are at home working, when you send notifications from the high country. I take it with me on all hunts, but I bought it for my solo hunts...
Thanks alot for the replies everyone, short of a sat. phone it sound like a lot of you run the Spot locator with very good results. I havent seen a Spot yet, but I do have an Iphone 4s and if it interfaces with that, it might be very handy. Do they work well when out of cell range though? I hunt in rough, steep sided, mountain country with a dense conifer canopy that even my Garmin 60 CSx GPS has trouble punching out of once in a while. I walk old, grown up haul roads along the old cut lines til ' I cut some promising sign. Sometimes I may end up getting several miles and drainages away from the truck by the time it's getting to dark to hunt. I really like what some of you said about my wife being able to see where I'm at from the computer at home. I don't like the idea of her worrying about me when I'm hunting and if this is a reliable unit and way to go I'm all in. I've been thinking it would not only be a prudent personal safety item but may save the life of someone your hunting with or you may run across while in the woods.
Bob, the reviews on the smartphone linking SPOT are mixed. Some find it reliable, others don't. The SPOT2 communicator isn't as versatile, but has a good reputation for getting the messages out. I have had very good luck with mine, even in inclimate weather.
have been thinking about getting those rhino gps/walkie talkies which tell you where you are and your hunting partners, but wondering if there is something newer/better out there now?
Personally I'm not worried about myself getting lossed or reading the gps, but family members who are older or younger, ie elderly and/or kids who may not know how to read the map or where they are and I could simply say hey you're over there turn right and come this way.... or actually hike to them if need be, ie if for some reason we split up and they get lost in the process/turned around.
rhino's anyone?
We use an ACR military grade 406 EPIRB. emergency indicating radio beacon transmitting via satellite. No matter the weather, no matter the terrain, you hit the button, SARS is coming for you, it had better be life threatening because you can go to jail if it isn't or pay a heavy search and rescue fine! It is about the size of two packs of cigarettes and nominal in the weight category, so it is worth it to me...
"This is A Way of Life"
The ACR SarLink is the way to go, and the professionals choice of gear. The SPOT works well in most areas, and allows communication at a cost. You can do the same type of check-in with the ACR products for a similar subscription fee. I personally don't use the subscription fee, and only use the EPIRB for its designed use - true emergency signaling. I put it in my pack, forget it, and hope to never use it. But if things get really bad, I can summon help for certain. Far more reliable and accurate than the SPOT.
I spend a lot of time on solo hunts, in wilderness areas and far from any other hunters. The ACR SarLink EPIRB goes with me on those hunts. When hunting with family, which is typically close to civilization, I use the Garmin Rhino's. Great for keeping track of other members of your party and provides sufficient safety factor that the SarLink can stay home. Different tools for different applications...

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Musial and Kolb, Super Bowl and a super idea
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Ye olde notebook:
Musial, of course, was one of baseball's greatest hitters. He was mentioned in the same breath as Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. He won seven batting titles and pounded out 3,630 hits.
And the man to pinch run for Musial in the legend's last at-bat was none other than Kolb.
If you're new to the area or state, Kolb was the last to wear No. 20 for the St. Louis Cardinals before Lou Brock. He joined the Cardinals in 1960 and played there in 1962-63 before being traded to the Milwaukee Braves and then the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates.
But it's that '63 season and a moment within that will keep Kolb ingrained in baseball history.
On the last day of that season, Musial singled to the right of a young Cincinnati Reds second baseman by the name of Pete Rose. In his second at-bat, Musial hit one to the right of Rose - who would break "The Man's" National League hit record 18 years later.
On that second hit, Musial drove in Curt Flood, who had previously doubled. Then St. Louis manager Johnny Keane sent in Kolb to pinch run for Musial and allow for the legend's farewell ovation.
At first, there were boos as Kolb ran to first. Then, when the crowd caught onto the significance of the moment, it cheered. The cheer turned into a thunderous ovation.
Musial, according to Kolb, waited for his replacement, then looked at the Cross Lanes resident and smiled.
"They love ya, kid," Musial said.
"No improvement," Musial said.
Usually that would be just a nice note with mascot Rosie Red and infielder Todd Frazier visiting. But astute Cincy fans might want to go and check out the future in Billy Hamilton, who will also be in town.
The Reds apparently are grooming the 2012 minor league player of the year for a 2014 outfield job. His strength is his speed. In 336 minor league games, Hamil-
ton has 306 steals in 372 attempts. On the scouts' speed scale of 20 to 80, Hamilton's grade is an 80.
Atlanta, you might remember, surrendered five draft picks to Cleveland in 2011 in order to draft Jones sixth overall. And it seems the Falcons are still the winners there.
But Jones has a long way to go to match the career of Moss, a Kanawha Valley legend, sure-fire Hall of Fame player - and 2013 Super Bowl participant.
His name is Robert Griffin III.
Charleston Catholic athletic director Bill Gillispie is using social media in an innovative way: to select teams for the 2013-14 Capital City Showcase basketball event.
Gillispie signed on to the WVPreps.net message board recently and asked fans to propose games - boys or girls - they'd like to see in next season's event.
Neat idea.

Men's Basketball Wins OT Thriller Over LA Trade Tech
It could have been a game that bruised the team's confidence. Instead, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team overcame squandering a 19-point lead in regulation and then battled back from four points down in the extra period to edge Los Angeles Trade Tech, 88-87, in overtime.
With 5.7 seconds left in the OT, PCC guard Jeffrey Dockett sank the front end of a 2-shot free throw opportunity for the winning point. Trade Tech's Donja Brooks missed a long-range attempt at the buzzer to seal the win.
Ranked No. 13 in Southern California, the Lancers improved to 15-5 overall and maintain a tie atop the South Coast Conference North Division standings at 3-1. LA Trade Tech dropped to 10-9 and 2-2.
PCC is a sizzling 9-1 in its last 10 contests and is in the midst of a 3-game conference winning streak.
The Lancers relied once again on their sophomore scoring weapon Taj Spencer, who scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Spencer, a sophomore forward, was 10-for-11 at the free throw line and keyed the OT rally with a dunk and layup with less than two minutes left that tied it at 85-85.
Maybe the biggest play of the extra period was a blocked shot by reserve forward Rashad Smith with a minute left. On the ensuing possession, the Lancers took an 87-85 lead on a pair of free throws by frosh guard Jevon Shields.
Dockett finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists while center Faruk Oyalade added 10 points and five rebounds. Frosh guard Adrian Miles put together a well-rounded effort with eight points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals.
PCC built a 37-18 lead as Dockett capped a 19-2 Lancers run on a 3-point bomb with 6:30 left in the first half. Trade Tech whittled away at the PCC lead to cut it to 42-33 by halftime.
The Beavers scorched the net by making 17 of 29 shots from the field in the second half (59 percent). A lay-in by Kyle Reid capped the comeback and a 79-78 lead for Trade Tech with a minute remaining. With 46 seconds to go in regulation, Oyalade hit a free throw that helped send the game into overtime at 79-79.
Reid led LATT with 23 points, including a perfect 9-for-9 at the line and seven steals, while Everett Osborne added 21 points.
"We let Trade Tech back into the game, but we kept our composure in the overtime," PCC head coach Michael Swanegan said. "This is a tough side of the conference. It's going to take finding ways to win late that could decide the eventual champions. We're on a pretty good roll right now."
The Lancers host El Camino College-Compton Center on Wednesday, Jan. 22. Tip-off is 5 p.m. at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.

Police: Baby in car during Kingston drug deal
While a woman changed the diaper of her 1-year-old grandson in a vehicle on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston, the man she was with handed off heroin and prescription pills during a drug deal, police said.
Kingston police, working with members of the state Attorney General's Office and the Luzerne County Task Force, seized heroin, marijuana, crack cocaine and Xanax on Wednesday after arresting Shalette Jones, 43, and Alfred S. Singleton Jr., 46.
Police said Jones drove Singleton to Wyoming Avenue so he could sell $500 worth of heroin and 20 Xanax pills to a confidential informant. Jones changed her grandson's diaper while he made the drug deal, but when police arrested them, officers said they found marijuana and crack in Jones' bra.
Singleton, of Hazleton, was hit with a slew of drug charges stemming from controlled buys July 29, July 30 and Wednesday. His offenses include multiple counts of delivery of heroin, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jones, of Drums, was charged with two counts of conspiracy to deliver heroin, possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
They were jailed Wednesday at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. Magisterial District Judge Donald Whittaker set Singleton's bail at $750,000 straight cash and set Jones' bail at 10 percent of $75,000.
Their preliminary hearings are scheduled for 1 p.m. Aug. 13 before Magisterial District Judge Paul Roberts.

Earlier this year, I put together a wildly popular list of the Top 100 Libertarian Blogs and Websites on the Internet (if you don't believe me, just Google "libertarian websites" and see what turns up at the top of the results).
Well it's time for another revision of the list. Over the past few months, as I've grown better-acquainted with the libertarian movement and its presence on the Internet, I have noticed some pretty glaring oversights on the list.
Additionally, I still get feedback about the list with more websites to consider, both in my inbox and in comments on the list itself and this post announcing a previous revision.
So please take a look at the list, peruse the comments at both of the links above, and feel free to drop some more suggestions in the comment thread of this post so that I can make the list better than ever!
I'm also considering expanding it to include the Top 150 Libertarian Blogs and Websites on the Internet, in which case I'll need more blogs to consider. Feel free to comment on whether or not you think that's a good idea (and why or why not).
Last of all, please don't feel bad if yours doesn't get included or gets bumped from the list as I rearrange. No slight is intended. Use it as motivation to make your blog or website even better. This list is never final or set in stone (as evidenced by this second revision in one year).
I just want to make the list as helpful and comprehensive as possible, and my criteria and methodology are admittedly unscientific.
I'll announce when the revision is finished in a post on this blog. Subscribe or keep checking back to stay updated.
Thanks so much, and while you're here, please check out The Humble Libertarian's birthday giveaway contest. It's really easy to enter and the prizes are awesome!

I thought your top 100 libertarian sites was spot on. While I am not a "pure" Libertarian by some standards, my ideology is within the spectrum and you gave a good list of reading material for folks like me.

Lisinopril may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking lisinopril?

VINTAGE VIDEO: Dani Andrada on La Rambla (5.15a)
Dani Andrada is the reigning king of Spanish sport climbing, with multiple 5.15a first ascents. However, his one remaining nemesis is La Rambla (5.15a), at the El Pati sector of Siurana, Spain. La Rambla was established by the visiting German Alexander Huber in 1994, and was extended by the Spaniard Ramon Puigblanque in 2003: giving it the current grade of 5.15a. Andrada began trying La Rambla in 1996, and although he still has not sent the route, his mastery of the moves has aged like a fine wine. Enjoy this vintage video of Andrada coming close to sending one of the most classic sport climbs in the world.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Fewer D.C. drivers are getting tickets from speed cameras.
The city increased the speed limit by five miles per hour on six busy commuter routes. AAA says revenue from the speed cameras has dropped by more than 50 percent in many of those locations.
The District also dropped the typical speeding fine to $91 from the old average of $100.
The city is projected to take in nearly $80 million from the cameras this fiscal year, compared to $91 million the previous year.

STILLWATER, Minn. (KARE 11) - The Lily Lake beach and boat ramp remained closed Wednesday, after a nine-year-old Forest Lake boy died of a suspected rare amoeba infection just days after swimming there.
Jack Ariola Erenberg first started showing flu-like symptoms and severe headaches Friday night while his family was vacationing on the North Shore. After two trips to the emergency room in Grand Marais, the boy was airlifted to St. Mary's Hospital in Duluth.
"He was your typical boy, full of energy and full of life," Jack's grandfather Bob Watters told KARE Wednesday. "But he went down hill very, very fast after he became ill."
By the time Watters reached Duluth in the predawn hours Sunday the boy was in a coma, unable to speak or breath on his own. He was being treated for symptoms of meningitis and encephalitis, swelling of the brain.
"There was a hospital in Michigan treating a child with the same symptoms, and the doctors in Michigan suggested running a test and looking for this Amoeba," Watters explained.
"Once they did that the doctor came in, and the first thing he asked was, 'Has Jack been swimming somewhere in the South?' In the southern states? And we said, 'No. Just locally'."
The actual ailment is known as Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis, or PAM, which is caused by a water-borne amoeba known to researchers as Naegleria Fowleri.
The amoeba enter a swimmer's head through the nose, then migrate to the brain where they begin to divide. The brain counter attacks the invasion, but in vain, and then becomes inflamed and swells.
That type of amoeba are present in the sediment of virtually all bodies of fresh water, but thrive especially well in warmer, more stagnant waters.
"The doctor in Duluth said with the heat we've had this summer and the high water temperatures, it was like the perfect storm," Watters said.
"He said, you know, we don't check for this. He said, because we don't see it."
Such infections are extremely rare, but have been fatal in every documented case except for one. And virtually all of the known confirmed cases in the United States have occurred in the South.
Jack's father, Jim Ariola of Wyoming, Minn., told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that his 9-year-old son swam in Lily Lake in Stillwater early to mid last week. Health officials say that's where the child likely contracted the severe brain infection.
Watters remembers his grandson as bustling with creativity.
"He always wanted power tools for birthdays and Christmas," Watters recalled. "He was always building projects, always wanted scraps of wood so he could make things."
Watters says he takes comfort in the fact that Jack was an organ donor, and all of the boy's organs -- with the exceptions of his brain and his eyes -- were deemed safe to donate to others.
Minnesota's only officially confirmed case was in 2010. That child, 7-year-old Annie Bahneman of Stillwater, also swam in Lily Lake before contracting the condition. Her death, at the time, was the farthest north case in the U.S. by 500 miles.
An 11-year-old Hailee LaMeyer died in 2008 days after swimming in a small lake in Linwood Township. She suffered the same sudden onset, beginning with headaches and confusion before succumbing to brain swelling.
Pathologists at the Minnesota Dept. of Health say that her symptoms, in retrospect, were totally consistent with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. But they are unable to confirm it without a brain autopsy, which was not ordered in Hailee's case.
Because of the unusually warm water temperatures this summer, the state health department issued an advisory to swimmers last month, urging them to avoid warm, stagnant waters.
Those who choose to enter such bodies of water are urged not to put their faces under water. As an added precaution, experts suggest children hold their nose or wear nose plugs in those types of water conditions.
A memorial fund has been set up for 9-year-old Jack Erenberg. Those interested in contributing can send donations to:

We've assembled this on-line encyclopedia of knitting
and crochet facts, abbreviations and instructions to help you find
exactly the information that you need to make your project a
success! You can probably immediately find the information you need by typing key words or phrases
into the search box below.
Knitting is the art of creating a fabric by making interlocking loops
of yarn. There are two basic ways to create these loops:
You can insert the working needle (the needle held in the right hand)
into the working stitch (the one on the left needle) either in on top (in
front) or underneath (in back) of the left needle. When you insert the
working needle underneath, this is called 'working through the back loop'.
When you insert the working needle on top, this is called 'working through
the front loop'. Combining knit or purled stitches and changing whether
the stitch is worked through the back or front loop gives a knitted fabric
its texture and pattern.
There are different methods for holding the yarn and needles. In the
'English' method, the yarn is controlled and looped (or 'thrown') with the
right hand to create stitches. In the 'Continental' method, the yarn is
controlled in the left hand and the stitches are made by 'picking' loops
off the left needle with the needle held in the right hand. Some knitters
feel that the Continental method is faster because there is less waste
motion. Because the yarn is controlled in the left hand, the Continental
method may also be a little easier for left-handed knitters and somewhat
more difficult for right-handed ones. Both methods work well and if one
does not feel comfortable to you, you may want to try the other one.
This tutorial teaches you how to purl through the front loop using the
English method. We offer this tutorial in both video and written format.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have just made a purl stitch!
Repeat steps 1 through 4 to complete the row. If the process feels a
little awkward, you are not alone. If you have only done the knit stitch,
it will seem a little strange, but soon you'll feel at home using both
When you have finished this row, turn your work (place the full needle
in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand) and KNIT the
next row. After that, PURL the next row. Continue working, alternating
each knit row with a purl row.
The process of alternating knit and purl rows creates stockinette
stitch. Stockinette is smooth on one side with stitches that look and feel
like V's. That's the knit side. The other side of a piece that is knitted
in stockinette stitch looks and feels like it is covered with bumps. and
ridges. When you are knitting stockinette, the side that is smooth is
considered to be the right side (abbreviated 'RS'). The purl side with the
bumps and ridges is considered to be the wrong side (abbreviated 'WS').
Congratulations! You have now mastered the two stitches that make
everything possible!

I originally posted this in another thread, but that thread was entitled "AVG 8", so some people using the newer AVG 9 may not have bothered checking the thread.
The problem: You have an email (even if it's in your junk box) that AVG has identified as containing a virus. For your own protection, AVG shuts down the mail service. This happens even if you tell AVG to "ignore" or "heal" the virus.
The solution: Add the Zimbra directory as an excepted directory. Naturally, you should be aware that AVG is no longer scanning any activity originating in that directory with its Resident Scanner. I actually haven't confirmed that incoming email is being scanned by the e-mail scanning component, so if anyone wants to confirm sometime, that'd be great.
The steps:
1. Show hidden files and folders. By default, on Win 7, Zimbra installs to C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Zimbra . The subdirectory "AppData" is hidden.
a) Go to Control Panel
b) Switch to View by: small icons
c) Locate and double-click "Folder Options"
d) Click the "View" tab
e) locate and toggle the option "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
f) Click "Apply" then click "OK"
2. Fire up AVG and add the exception
a) Open the AVG interface
b) Under "Tools" menu, select "Advanced settings"
c) from options on the left, expand (if not already expanded) Resident Shield, and click "Directory Excludes"
d) Click "Add Path" on the right, and navigate to your install path. Assuming default, it's the one mentioned in step 1 above.
e) Click "OK"
3. Start the Zimbra mail service again. Just launching Zimbra Desktop will NOT work, because the required service is not running.
a) Open Control Panel
b) Assuming you are still in "View by: Small Icons", locate and click "Administrative Tools"
c) in the window that appears, double-click the shortcut for "Services". (not "Component Services", but just simply "Services")
d) scroll down and locate "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop Service" which should have its status column blank, and its Startup Type "automatic"
e) right-click the service and select "Start" to force the start. (or highlight the line with Zimbra, then select "Start the service" from the left)
4. Launch Zimbra desktop from your usual location (Task Bar, Start Menu, Desktop Shortcut, whatever)
If all went well, this time it will launch instead of trying to connect for a while and eventually timing out.

Service Dog Sent to the Kennel
AURELIA, Iowa (AP) - A retired police officer is suing a northwest Iowa city after his service dog was banned because of aordinance against pit bulls.
Jim Sak, a former
Chicago police officer, suffered a stroke in 2008 that left him
with limited use of his right hand and leg.
Sak moved to Aurelia last month to be with his ailing mother.
But Snickers, a pit bull mix that's certified as a service dog for
Sak, was forced to be put in a kennel.
Sak has filed a lawsuit against the city claiming Snickers is
cleared by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A hearing on the suit is scheduled for next week in federal court in Sioux City.
(LeMars) -- If you find yourself home alone for Christmas, you may want to consider joining Floyd Valley Hospital for a Christmas dinner. Ann Cole-Nelson of the Floyd Valley Hospital says it has become a community tradition for the hospital to serve others on Christmas.
Listen here
Nelson says the hospital will be serving a traditional Christmas dinner that includes both turkey... ham...and all the side dishes.
Listen here
Nelson says between 100 and 150 people usually attend the hospital holiday meal, so she suggests you call ahead and make reservations since the event has become popular with residents.
Listen here
The hours of the Christmas dinner are from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

By Patricia Kime, Air Force Times
Tricare beneficiaries who see civilian doctors aren't seeing any effects from the government shutdown yet, but the contractors and doctors who care for them aren't getting paid.
The Defense Health Agency notified all three Tricare regional contract managers on Oct. 2 that DHA has the funds to pay them for services for two weeks, although the money actually is not being distributed.
Instead, the contractors will be paid, with interest, when funding is available - essentially, when Congress authorizes the appropriations.
It is unknown what will happen beyond Oct. 15, Tricare officials said, although they are "closely monitoring the impact of the government shutdown."
"If the government shutdown continues, the DHA would look at the best way to support the contractors; we would take the appropriate actions to assure that our beneficiaries are cared for," DHA spokesman Austin Camacho said.
Some Tricare beneficiaries who receive their care at military hospitals and clinics already are feeling the effects of the shutdown. Under the budget constraints, appointments for routine care and elective surgeries are being postponed.
Tricare also is not processing travel claims for Tricare Prime or Combat-Related Specialty Care. According to a Tricare statement, those affected can still file their travel claims and Tricare will review them after the shutdown ends.
In SEC filings earlier this week, both Humana, the contractor for the Tricare South Region, and Health Net, the manager for the Tricare North region, estimated that claims during the two weeks would amount to roughly $175 million and $106 million, respectively.
Defense Department officials have not yet calculated the cost of the interest that will accrue during these two weeks.
Tricare West Region contractor UnitedHealthcare did not file a report with the SEC.
Tricare oversees health services to 9.6 million service members, military families and retirees.

Guide to Authentication
- 1 Objective
- 2 Environments Affected
- 3 Relevant COBIT Topics
- 4 Architectural Goals
- 5 Thresholds Governor
- 6 Authenticating Value Transactions with Transaction Signing
- 7 Authenticating With Multi-Factor Systems
- 8 Single-Sign On (SSO) Authentication
- 9 Federated Authentication
- 10 Authentication For Low Value Systems
- 11 Authentication Anti-Patterns
To provide secure authentication services to web applications, by:
- Tying a system identity to an individual user by the use of a credential
- Providing reasonable authentication controls as per the application's risk
- Denying access to attackers who use various methods to attack the authentication system
Environments Affected
Relevant COBIT Topics
DS5 – All sections should be reviewed. This section covers nearly all COBIT detailed control objectives.
Architectural Goals
All applications should take into account the following architectural goals:
- All applications within your organization SHOULD share a well-debugged and trusted authentication mechanism if possible
- All secured functions and secured resources SHOULD be protected by a common authentication mechanism within the one application
- All authentication processes SHOULD be conducted over encrypted links, particularly weak authentication mechanisms such as passwords
- All pages SHOULD have an effective logout button on every single page in a common location
- Applications SHOULD have the facility to alert the user as to failed login attempts and offer to allow them to change their password (if applicable)
- Applications SHOULD have the facility to notify the user of their last logged in time, and subsequently report a fraudulent login if they disagree with that date and time
- Applications MUST protect credentials from common authentication attacks as detailed in the Testing Guide. Following the sections in this chapter will produce such an outcome
- Medium value applications SHOULD and High value applications MUST provide a mechanism to re-authenticate or transaction sign high value transactions
- Authentication and registration processes, particularly login failures, SHOULD provide no information as to if an account exists or password or is wrong. A single error message for the end user covering both scenarios is more than adequate
- Applications SHOULD possess administrative functions to detail and manage never logged in accounts, idle accounts, and accounts that have been administratively- or soft- locked
- Credential stores MUST implement one-way hash and salted storage of secrets such as passwords using acceptable hashing algorithms.
- Applications SHOULD be designed to implement several hashing algorithms as these will be replaced soon and change is inevitable and should be planned for today
- Applications SHOULD implement configurable settings for thresholds, lockouts, password complexity and alerts
Things not to do:
- Applications MUST NOT store any secret part of the credential in the clear (passwords or questions and answers if implemented)
- Applications MUST NOT expose the credential in untrusted locations, such as cookies, headers or hidden fields
- Applications MUST NOT implement CAPTCHA as there is case law against them with respect to universal access and ineffective
- Applications MUST NOT implement questions and answers as they are contrary to most privacy regimes and ineffective
- Applications SHOULD NOT rely on infrastructure authentication, such as REFERER headers or the client's DNS or IP address as these can be faked
Thresholds Governor
All authentication systems are designed to be open to anonymous, unauthenticated users. Therefore, they are open to denial of service and brute force attacks.
Applications implementing their own authentication systems should consider a threshold governor to prevent the over-use of the following paths:
- Account registration processes (if any)
- Primary authentication path
- Step up authentication (such as two factor tokens)
- Password resets (Low value systems only)
Most medium and all high value systems should not be using passwords, and thus do not possess password reset capabilities.
OWASP's ESAPI project contains a reference implementation of a basic threshold governor, which is in turn linked to the intrusion logging mechanism based upon a certain number of failed events being raised in a particular time period. You may wish to use this mechanism in your own code by adopting ESAPI and overriding the necessary classes as you see fit.
Sequence Diagram
Suggested Timeouts
The following timeouts are suggested, but any value will do as long as it severely impacts both vertical and horizontal brute force attacks.
- One failed attempt: At least 5 seconds
- Two failed attempts: At least 15 seconds
- Three failed attempts: At least 45 seconds
If there's an obvious brute force attempt (for example, more than 100 attempts per minute), the IP address and/or session should be banned for a period of time, such as 15 minutes. In such cases, error messages should make it clear why this action has been taken.
Distributed Brute Force
If in case of a distributed brute force, the application should monitor the total number of failed authentication attempts per minute, and have a configurable threshold above which the authentication system automatically injects a configurable 45+ second delay between authentication attempts. This will make all but the largest distributed brute force attempt infeasible, even when looking for a single account with a well known password.
Authenticating Value Transactions with Transaction Signing
Any system can benefit from the use of transaction signing. Transaction signing requires a user to interact with some out of bound device, such as a two factor token calculator or SMS message to complete a high value transaction. For example, if a bank wishes to establish an online credit card registration process, they could get the user to verify that this transaction is valid by completing a transaction verification. In the case of mobile phones, this could simply include sending a random value to the user's phone or ringing them with a IVR system and digitally read a set of digits to be entered.
SMS Based Transaction Signing Sequence Diagram
For low end through to moderate high value systems, the use of a second factor such as a mobile phone is an excellent low cost alternative to two factor authentication fobs. This mechanism is actually stronger than most two factor authentication fobs as to attack it, the attacker would have to involve individual users to perform the same sort of attacks as they would do today.
There is a single weakness in this model - mobile phone registration and updating. If attackers can register their phone before the real user or update the user's profile to become their number, the attacker can perform high value transactions with impunity. The application MUST enforce that any one number is only linked to a single account, and to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, for example if the same number is being used in multiple accounts at different times as these are signs of phishing.
Physically requiring proof of identity to register or update the mobile phone produces the strongest results.
Token Based Transaction Signing Sequence Diagram
For the highest value systems, the use of transaction signing calculators as sold by a number of token manufacturers would be the best alternative. These take a portion of the transaction's details and combine it with a private key signing on the calculator. Attackers would have to get the user to log in, type in the values and then subsequently give them the result before fraud would occur. This is extremely unlikely and is not amenable to widespread phishing attacks.
Authenticating With Multi-Factor Systems
What is two factor authentication, really?
Two factor authentication is using more than one of:
- Something you know (account details or passwords)
- Something you have (tokens or mobile phones)
- Something you are (biometrics)
to logon or process a transaction.
If you can create another factor, such as a special token on a particular computer based upon a set of something you know or a single biometric reading, this is effectively single factor authentication. For example, some banks implement a scheme that requires you to type a username, passwords and answer a personal question, and if you get those right, your computer will be marked as a physical factor. It's obvious that this scheme is open to many attacks, but the primary weakness is that the system is not truly a two factor solution as it is based upon a simple set of "something you know" and thus you can make any computer a second factor if you know these details.
Typical two factor solutions involve registering a hardware device such as a token, phone or biometric device on top of the "something you know". In all cases, the two factors should be used together for best results.
Lastly, biometric devices are known weak against simple physical attacks, have a known false positive and known false negative authentication rate, thus making them less than desirable as a non-repudiation mechanism. Additionally, biometrics are expensive compared to the cost of phone- and token- based two factor authentication schemes. Until the technology significantly improves, becomes price competitive with cheap phone and tokens, and is relatively universal, biometric devices should not be considered except in highly specialist circumstances.

Authentication For Low Value Systems
Low value systems, such as blogs, social networks and so on, should be free to implement weak authentication mechanisms. If given the chance, users should be able to adopt stronger authentication mechanisms if you have them available.
Self-registration can be problematic, particularly for highly sought after resources such as free mail accounts.
Password Sequence Diagram
Logging On Using ESAPI
try { String username = request.getParameter(username); String password = request.getParameter(password); Authenticator instance = ESAPI.authenticator(); if ( username != null && password != null ) { if ( instance.exists(username) ) { User user = instance.getUser(username); if ( !instance.verifyPassword(user, password) ) { // error with no such username or password. ESAPI's verifyPassword() automatically increments threshold counts and triggers the IDS if necessary } if ( !instance.getUser(username).isEnabled() ) { // error with your account is locked or similar } String accountName = user.getAccountName(); Date lastLoginTime = user.getLastLoginTime(); Date lastFailedLogin = user.getLastFailedLoginTime(); int failedLoginCount = user.getFailedLoginCount(); roles = user.getRoles(); String lastHost = user.getLastHostAddress(); } else { // error with no such username or password } } else { // error with missing username or password } } catch ( AuthenticationException e) { // Handle errors appropriately }

Password Guidelines
Passwords are intrinsically weak. Therefore, your application should encourage good password practices:
- Credentials should only traverse encrypted links
- Store the password in a strongly hashed and salted format to prevent rainbow table attacks.
- Pass phrases (long passwords over 20 characters in length) should be encouraged
- Short passwords should be prohibited
- Do not force folks to change passwords frequently as this results in the users writing the passwords down insecurely
- Where suitable, try to share the credential with as many low value systems as possible to encourage one single high quality password
- Allow expert users to store strong passwords in approved password managers. Encourage them to use unique random passwords for each service
Lockouts are counter-productive if implemented badly.
In general, the threshold governor (see above) should be implemented to prevent any one IP address monopolizing authentication CPU, network, and IO resources. If necessary, such as for compliance with a national security standard, a configurable soft lockout of approximately 15-30 minutes should apply, with an error message stating the reason and when the account will become active again.
Ensure any lockout mechanism protects against both same username, many passwords and many usernames and same password attacks. This can only be done using the threshold governor approach as shown above.
Minimum hash strength
The minimum hash strength SHOULD be SHA-256 for the next few years.
Applications MUST be designed to allow selection of multiple algorithms, as the USA's NIST is currently running an hashing algorithm competition, which will choose a successor to SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Your application MUST be able to transition to the new hashing algorithm by no later than one year after the new algorithms release. This doesn't mean that MD5 will be dead at that point, but your application should cope with the idea that insecure algorithms such as MD5 or SHA-1 can be retired at some point.
Authentication Anti-Patterns
Do not implement any of these features - they are either dangerous, illegal, ineffective, or all of the above.
Default Accounts
Do not ship your software with any default accounts such as "YourProductName", "sa", "root", "administrator", or any hard coded service accounts. Do not include any screen shots or text in the documentation indicating a preferred username or password for a particular application ID or service.
CAPTCHA (Completely automated Turing Tests To Tell Humans and Computers Apart) are illegal in any jurisdiction that prohibits discrimination against disabled citizens. This is essentially the entire world. Although CAPTCHAs seem useful, they are in fact, trivial to break using on of three methods:
- Optical Character Recognition. Most common CAPTCHAs are solvable using specialist CAPTCHA breaking OCR software.
- Break a test, get free access to foo, where foo is a desirable resource
- Pay someone to solve the CAPTCHAs. The current rate at the time of writing is $12 per 500 tests.
Therefore implementing CAPTCHAs in your software is most likely to be illegal in at least a few countries, and worse - completely ineffective.
Secret Questions And Answers
Questions and answers are back door credentials - they equate to the username and password for the user. Often such schemes use "Mother's Maiden Name" or other easily found information. If all systems use the same Q&As, it will be possible to break into many accounts using the same information.
They are unacceptable for the following reasons:
- Collection of information about people without their explicit consent (such as "Mother's maiden name") is illegal in most privacy regimes. Such collection is subject to privacy laws, review and correction by the subject, and so on.
- IT Security Policies and standards such as ISO 27000 prohibit the clear text storage of passwords, but almost all Q&A schemes store both the question and answer in the clear
- The information in the answers is public for a goodly portion of the users of the Internet, and thus is found using public sources
Secret Questions and Answers have been publicly abused, most notably by the attack on Sarah Palin's e-mail account, exposing her use of her Yahoo free mail account for government business.
