On a new system, we require a one-way-hash to compute a digital signature from binary input (e.g., a kilobyte of text, or larger text-and-binary files). The need is similar to how Scons (build system) hashes command-lines and source files, and how Git (version control system) hashes files to compute a signature for storage/synchronization.
Recall that Scons uses MD5, and Git uses SHA-1.
While MD5 and SHA-1 have been "broken", neither Scons nor Git are using their hashes specifically for security (e.g., it's not to store passwords), so general practice still considers those algorithms acceptable for that usage. (Of course, this is partially a rationalization due to legacy adoption.)
QUESTION: Would you use SHA256 (not MD5 nor SHA-1) for a (non-crypto/security) one-way hash in a new system?
The concerns are:
- MD5 and SHA-1 have a long history of adoption
- SHA256 is relatively new (not as much history), but seems to be currently recommended for new work (but "stronger" algorithm strength is not specifically required for my application)
- SHA256 is more time-expensive to compute
- SHA256 produces a longer key (these will be used as dir/file names, and stored within index files), but I suppose I could truncate the produced key (hash is less strong, but should be sufficient), or just assume storage is cheap and file systems can handle it.
I'd be particularly interested in an answer consistent with the Scons or Git communities saying, "We'll keep ours forever!" or "We want to move to a new hash as soon as practical!" (I'm not sure what their plans are?)

Dogs pant with their tongues hanging out, young men sweat by the bucket and aging geologists just fall over on our faces in the shade on a hot summer's day. But is there a way we could choose to cool the whole planet in a few decades if we really need to?
Those who love football as well as civil society, like me, face a chilling ambivalence about a sport that has become not only a stand-in for war (although we still have the real thing going on), but also a huge business that commands, in the corporate world of college education, expenditures seldom lavished on non-athletes.
Football as a game has not only become "war;" it is also big business that deals in millions of dollars and the euphoria (or depression) of thousands of people, depending on winning or losing.
You're driving up the Front Road and right behind you is a very important person ... a VIP. Right behind you.
You know the type. There are five cars in front of you and you can't go any faster, but the VIP just has to pass you since, well, he's very important. And so, he tailgates you and once he's given a three-second window to pass, off he goes, rushing to his very important meeting with other very important people, or "I."
Now, if he could only pass those other five not-as-important people ...
On Oct. 14 in the afternoon between 1 and 3:30 p.m. the sandwich board sign out in front of my new business (Karen Wray Fine Art-Gallery and Studio at 2101 Trinity Drive, Suite B-2) was stolen. The sandwich board was not small. It is 36 inches high by 24 inches wide, made of white plastic with attached signs stating "Gallery / Open" in black print on yellow corrugated plastic. Earlier, on Sept. 11, this sign was outside with 10 balloons attached to the top, announcing the Arts Crawl that was taking place that evening.
Over 50 people came to Ashley Pond on Oct. 24 to observe the 64th birthday of the United Nations, and to participate in the International Call for Climate Action.
Los Alamos was well represented along with over 5000 communities in 181 nations on this day of action, calling upon the participants in the December UN talks in Copenhagen, Denmark to establish 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide as the safe upper limit for our atmosphere.
I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Celebrity withdrawal. People have stopped recognizing me in the street! So, sorry folks, I had to come up with a lame excuse to write about hair, just so that I could change my photo.
So, in this season of being thankful, I'm thanking my hair for growing back to a style I'm happy with. It's taken 16 months to go from zero to what you see in my new photo.
This intangible thing we call freedom is interpreted differently by just about every individual, but one aspect that's not open for debate is that we enjoy freedom because of the sacrifices made by countless veterans of our armed forces. We must never question that freedom is worth fighting for.
The men and women of this country's military have always exemplified valor, courage and bravery. The sacrifices they've made down through the years allow us all to revel in the freedom we have today.

Arctic shrinks by an Alaska and 3 Arizonas in August
Another week, another record in Arctic ice loss announced by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC):
Following a record rate of ice loss through the month of August, Arctic sea ice extent already stands as the second-lowest on record, further reinforcing conclusions that the Arctic sea ice cover is in a long-term state of decline. With approximately two weeks left in the melt season, the possibility of setting a new record annual minimum in September remains open.
Why all the melting? It is hot, hot, hot near the home state of our new global-warming-denying GOP VP:
FIGURE: Sea surface temperature anomalies for August 2008, expressed with respect to 1982 to 2006 mean, correspond closely with ice retreat. Blue line indicates ice edge; warm colors indicate positive sea surface temperature anomalies.
Here is the latest ice extent figure along with more details on the record-breaking ice loss in August:
In a typical year, the daily rate of ice loss starts to slow in August as the Arctic begins to cool. By contrast, in August 2008, the daily decline rate remained steadily downward and strong.
The average daily ice loss rate for August 2008 was 78,000 square kilometers per day (30,000 square miles per day). This is the fastest rate of daily ice loss that scientists have ever observed during a single August. Losses were 15,000 square kilometers per day (5,800 square miles per day) faster than in August 2007, and 27,000 square kilometers per day (10,000 square miles per day) faster than average.
This August's rapid ice loss reflects a thin sea ice cover that needed very little additional energy to melt out.
It's now pretty clear that the Arctic will be ice free within a decade or so — more than half a century earlier than most climate models predicted. The time to act is yesterday.

9 Responses to Arctic shrinks by an Alaska and 3 Arizonas in August
In reponse you your quote "The time to act is yesterday." Here is another one of my favorites: "Today is the tomorrow you should have [considered] yesterday!" Substituted the word "considered" for the word "feared" to tone down "fear" mongering…not that it changes science. I Dugg this article for you.
Joe, OK, I see your Alaska and 3 Arizonas, and raise you by 4 Arkansas… to pay tribute where tribute is due to the CO2 molecules labeled "Made in Clinton/Gore" administration still lurking above….
Meanwhile the skeptics continue to spread their lies and deceit to whomever will listen. I noticed Joe D'Aleo and Richard Lindzen were going to be speaking about climate change at a weather related conference in Boston later this fall. That's akin to hiring tobacco executives to talk about the dangers of smoking.
Anne: We may as well just mention ever other state in here somewhere… we all know it's not just the executive branch – every congressman is just as responsible. And we cannot stop there, either, as we should raise every Jon, Joe and yes, every Anne as well…
This problem didn't start just in the 1990s, y'know. We are all responsible for our past. We are all responsible for our future.
Off-topic, but here is the first CCS pilot:
"Germany leads 'clean coal' pilot"
If they would run it with a high percentage of torrified wood replacing coal, it would be carbon-negative instead of just almost carbon-neutral.
David, it's good to see an experimental plant coming online, but as the article notes, there's the question of cost (including long-term sequestration commitment). Commercial viability may be elusive, particularly in the U.S., where people use more energy and have a lower tolerance for high prices. Wood is fine as far as it can go sustainably. At least in the near future, the supply-demand situation would probably limit it to being a supplement rather than a primary source.
Below are two comments made by folks who read your article on Current TV. I am not one of them and I am bewildered at how they can even think this. I have been posting some of your daily blogs on Current and hope this is ok? I absolutely believe what you are writing as I go to other sources to check it out. Where is this person below coming up with his data? I feel frustrated at not being able to refute him as I just don't understand the science.
"Why are we focused on the ice loss over the last 5 months? Look at it over time and the loss is insignificant. The "melting season" is almost over… then it will be "freezing season" again. I guarantee the rate that the Arctic gains ice will not make news headlines at all. The global warming scare is ridiculous. One person who should know about that first hand is Palin."
Temperature records indicate that the Arctic has actually cooled by 0.88° C over the past fifty years.
Corrective environmental policies would have a minuscule impact on the climate. According to its own projections, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's own plan would spare the earth only a few hundredths of a degree of warming by middle of the next century.
Climate change is a natural phenomenon and nothing to be scared or concerned about. Humans have never had and will never have an impact on the earths temperature – negative or positive.
This has nothing to do with guilt. I care very much for the environment and do all I can to be a good steward of our resources – not because I think the earth is in jeapardy, but because its the right thing to do."
"Why all the melting? It is hot, hot, hot near the home state of our new global-warming-denying GOP VP:" PRESUMPTIVE GOP VP – but I'm sure God has a plan for her.
I find your coment bizzare.
At least Clinton Gore negotiated a treaty on climate change — yes, it was not introduced into the Senate because Republicans led a preemptive revolt against ratifying it, but they were advocates for doing something, as reflected in the budgets they passed for renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Bush and Cheney, on the other hand, stalled and blocked and lied even as the science became more and more certain and the forecasts more and more dire.
Very weird conclusion, Anne. One would almost think you were a doctrinaire, knee-jerk Republican who didn't traffic in facts.

WoW Blacksmithing Leveling Guide 1 - 700
This Blacksmithing leveling guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Blacksmithing skill up from 1 to 700.
Updated for Warlords of Draenor patch 6.2
Blacksmithing is the best combined with Mining and I highly recommend to level Mining and Blacksmithing together because you will need a lot of gold if you want to buy everything from Auction House. Check out the Mining leveling guide if you want to level Mining.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 100 in 8 days with this guide.
Table of contents:
- Learning Draenor Blacksmithing
- Work orders and daily cooldowns
- Obtaining new recipes
- Leveling 1-650
- Leveling 650-700
Learning Draenor Blacksmithing
If your character is below level 90, visit my Blacksmithing Leveling Guide for players below level 90. This guide is for level 90-100 players.
First, visit your Blacksmithing trainer at Ashran if you didn't learn Blacksmithing yet. Alliance players can find Aimee Goldforge at Stormshield, and Horde players can find Mazdon Bizratchet at Warspear.
You can also visit a trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth if you don't have a flight path to Ashran yet - just ask a guard.
Things change a bit in Warlords of Draenor because you no longer learn the next rank from your trainer. You have to get a [Draenor Blacksmithing] scroll to upgrade your maximum Blacksmithing skill to 700. This scroll will also teach you a few basic recipes which you will use to level Blacksmithing.
There are three ways to obtain this scroll:
- You can buy it from the Blacksmithing trainers at Ashran. Alliance players can find Royce Bigbeard at Stormshield, and Horde players can find Nonn Threeratchet at Warspear.
- If you build The Forge at your garrion, you can buy the scroll from one of the NPC at the building.
- If you are still leveling your character (90-92), you have to loot a quest item to start a quest chain.
- Alliance: Loot [Haephest's Satchel] from Draenor mobs or Karnoth during Shadows Awaken quest.
- Horde: Loot [Fractured Forge Hammer] from Draenor mobs or Dorogg the Ruthless during The Butcher of Bladespire quest.
After you completed the quest chain, you will get [Draenor Blacksmithing] and [Garrison Blueprint: The Forge, Level 1]. This scroll upgrades your maximum Blacksmithing skill to 700 and you will also learn a few basic recipes. The blueprint simply let's you build The Forge at your garrison. You will use this building to complete work orders and to learn every new recipe.
Work orders and daily cooldowns
You can start work orders if you build The Forge at your Garrison. The blueprint for The Forge can be obtained if you complete the quest chain mentioned above, or when you upgrade your Garrison's Town Hall to level 2.
Work orders convert 5 x [True Iron Ore] to 2 x [Truesteel Ingot]. [Truesteel Ingot] is used for crafting epic armors and weapons, so it's better to start completing your work orders as soon as possible.
One work order takes 4 hour to complete, but you can queue up a bunch of work orders, so you don't have to log in every 4 hours.
If you have a follower working in your building, you can get 4 [Truesteel Ingot] each work order instead of 2. You can read more about followers if you read my Guide to Followers with Profession Traits.
[Truesteel Ingot] can also be obtained from doing your profession daily cooldown [Truesteel Ingot]. This spell produces 8 Truesteel Ingot, plus additional based on Blacksmithing skill. The maximum you can get is 20 at skill 700.
Obtaining new recipes
The recipes your learned from the scroll are only good for leveling between 1-650. New recipes can be purchased at The Forge, or at Ashran.
[Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing] is needed to create the currency that you can use to buy new recipes. You can only create one Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing a day.
Leveling 1-650
IMPORTANT!!! If your character is below level 90, visit my Blacksmithing Leveling Guide for lower levels. This guide is for level 90-100 players.
There are 3 recipes that you can use to level from 1 to 650.
[Smoldering Breastplate] - 30 x [True Iron Ore], 30 x [Blackrock Ore]
[Smoldering Greaves] - 60 x [True Iron Ore]
[Smoldering Helm] - 60 x [Blackrock Ore]
These recipes give you 10 skill points, and each of them require 60 ores to craft, so you will need 3900 ores to reach 650. It seems a lot but these ores are really cheap, they should be under 2 gold/ore.
If you decide you want to farm the ores instead of buying them, then visit my Blackrock Ore farming guide or True Iron Ore farming guide.
You can also reach 600 by making [Truesteel Ingot] and Secret of Draenor Blacksmithing, but that would probably take around 50 days.
After you crafted all of these armors, you should disenchant all of them, then sell the dust at the Auction House so you can get at least third of your gold back (or more if you bought cheap ores). If you have a character with enchanting skill 600, you can disenchant the armors yourself. This will net you the most dust, about 9.5 on avarage / armor. (you can also ask a friend to do this for you).
There is 3 other ways to disenchant the armors, but you will only get about 5.5 dust / armor.
- If you have an Enchanter's Study, you can simply disenchant the armors there.
- You can visit a friend's Garrison if your friend have an Enchanter's Study.
- Learn enchanting with one of your alt characters. You can disenchant the armors with enchanting skill one.
Leveling 650-700
Create [Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing] and buy [Truesteel Reshaper] or [Truesteel Grinder] recipe. I recommend [Truesteel Reshaper] because it's usually easier to sell.
Make 17 x [Truesteel Reshaper] - 510 x True Iron Ore
If you decide to make [Truesteel Grinder], you will need 340 Blackrock Ore, and 170 True Iron Ore
If you don't plan to level to 700 in one day, then you should make your daily cooldowns every day, and buy epic armor recipes at The Forge. Then you can craft epic armors when you have enough [Truesteel Ingot].
I hope you liked this Blacksmithing guide, congratulations to 700!
I recommend Zygor's Leveling Guide. The guide is in an small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included. You'll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what's next. The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance.
I use Zygor's guide for leveling and I highly recommend it.

Editor's note: These are excerpts from a speech by Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., to the U.S. Senate this week.
I rise today to give my second speech this week discussing the issues we are facing as a nation following last week's tragedies in Dallas, Minnesota, and Baton Rouge. This speech is perhaps the most difficult, because it's the most personal.
In many cities and towns across the nation, there is a deep divide between the black community and law enforcement – a trust gap, a tension that has been growing for decades.
Since its inception, the J. Marion Sims Foundation has been focused on sustaining and strengthening the health and wellness of Lancaster County, Fort Lawn, and Great Falls. During our 20-year anniversary, we are actively planning for the future and asking questions about the health of our region.
Where do we excel as a community? Where should we focus? What are your dreams for the community where we live, work, and play? What makes this a great place for your children? What would make our quality-of-life even better for your children's children?
If this wasn't reality, I would have thought I was watching a comedy.
President Obama has officially announced his backing for his fellow progressive, Hillary Clinton, for president. He stated that there is no one more qualified to be president than her. If that is so, then we all need to be lemmings and march off a cliff together.
Not only did she lie to the public about her e-mails when she was secretary of state, but she lied under oath to the congressional hearing. A perfect perjurer match for her slimy perjurer husband, Bill.
As I sit here, at my desk, on July 8 with a blank page in front of me, I am trying to organize my thoughts and emotions, in order to convey some level of objectivity and sense, to events that have just transpired. I have tears in my eyes and in my heart for the tragedy that has just taken place in Dallas, Texas.
Mr. Melton, your editorial in last week's papers gave me such pleasure that I have not felt in years.
County Attorney John Weaver sent an email stating, "My job is to make Council members look good, not otherwise." Well, his unprepared, unprofessional, thrown-together, not complete, nor concise, fragmented and confusing PowerPoint show regarding Ansley Park was an embarrassment for Lancaster County.
Lancaster County's four high school football teams will kick off preseason drills today in preparation for the 2016 prep football season.
Practice, between light days and heavy days, will continue much of this month in preparation for the Aug. 19 openers.
Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson High School opens preseason drills at 6 p.m. today.
Coach C.J. Frye, who is in his second year, said the Vols have been chomping at the bit all week in anticipation for today.
Today, I placed my gun on the table right next to my front door. I left its magazine beside it, then left it alone and went about my chores.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered the mail, the guy who mows my lawn came to cut my grass, a young lady walked her dog down the street, and a delivery truck delivered a package.
In your June 29 paper, Phil Noble states that the "Charleston loophole" for buying a gun was the cause for the Emanuel church shooting.
The three days that gun owners wait for a background check passed, so the store sold the gun to Dylann Roof without the background check being finished.
The left always throws in their "common sense" into their gun rhetoric. My question is whose common sense do we abide by? My common sense is not the same as yours, Mr. Noble.
Which was it during the July 18 Lancaster County Council meeting? There was much discussion and some opposition to Councilman Jack Estridge's motion to undo or rescind the approval of a June 13 motion to renew a motion that was never made.
The June 13 actions were a clear violation of the council's rules of parliamentary procedures.
Estridge's motion itself was really quite simple – "a motion to rescind (cancel) the approval of a motion to renew an ordinance or, if you prefer, to renew a motion." That was it.
Lancaster Super Speedway returns to racing action Saturday with the SECA Crate Late Models headlining the night.
On June 18, the SECA Crate Late Models put on one of the best races of the year at the half-mile dirt track, with division drivers Timbo Mangum and Benji Knight vying for the checkers.
Mangum emerged with the hard-fought victory, his second of the year.
Knight has two crate late model wins, as well.
Other drivers with wins in the division are Steve Banal, Chris Hargett and Chris Steele, who each have one win.

The only change is in
long int&
long long intboth of these occupy 32-bit on 32-bit machine & 64-bit on 64-bit machine.
And also the pointers, which take 32-bit on 32-bit CPU & 64-bit on 64-bit CPU.
- I cannot say, what the books say is wrong. But I'm missing something here. What exactly does "Variable types are machine dependent mean?"
- As you can see, There is no difference between instructions for unsigned & signed numbers. Then how come the range of numbers that can be addressed using both is different?
- I was reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2511246/how-to-maintain-fixed-size-of-c-variable-types-over-different-machines I didn't get the purpose of the question or their answers. What maintaining fixed size? They all are the same. I didn't understand how those answers are going to ensure the same size.
Isn't it impossible to provide same size over different machines? I mean, how can one maintain same pointer size on both 64-bit & 32-bit machine?

News The New "Freedom Tower"
Architects have unveiled the design for NYC's new "Freedom Tower" to be erected next to Ground Zero. From the AP:
Glass prisms, landscaped plazas and a lighted spire meant to resemble the Statue of Liberty's torch are all included in the latest design of the skyscraper being built to replace the World Trade Center.
Mmm… hey dumbshit architect, NYC already has a statue of liberty torch. It's called the "STATUE OF LIBERTY'S TORCH." And since you're already begging for trouble, instead of "Freedom Tower" why not just call it the "Somebody Drive a Truck Bomb Into Me" Building.
All I know is the "Freedom Tower" better have a Starbucks.

A must have for shaving enthusiasts! Skin Food is a fantastic yet versatile product - you can use it before or after shaving. It nourishes, moisturises and protects the skin pre and post shave.
To view our complete Trumper collection, click here.
Bottle Size: 200ml - durable plastic
Aqua (water), Alcohol denat, Glycerin, Astragalus gummifer gum, Caprylyl glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus limon (Lemon) peel oil, Citrus auratifolia (Lime) oil, Rosa damascena (Rose Otto) flower oil, Menthol, Limonene, Citronellol, Citral, Geraniol, CI 19140.
When used as a pre shave, Trumper's Skin Food softens the bristles, adding nourishment to protect the skin and allows the razor to glide, giving a comfortable shave.
Using a small amount of Skin Food after shaving seals the skin while also soothing, nourishing and moisturising the newly shaved skin.
Alex Kettle-Stupka
A very light and flexible product, usable as a pre-shave lotion, a light daily moisturiser and as an aftershave balm. Disappears into the skin in seconds literally, leaving no greasy residue, sadly the scent does the same, ideal if you want to use cologne but a shame as the smell is fresh lime. A surprisingly effective moisturiser which feels slightly astringent but has no sting. Expensive but a little goes a long way.
Gordon Sheridan
I use this as a pre shave lotion, it provides great lubrication for the razor

Gala apples were discovered in 1934 by New Zealand orchardist J.H. Kidd and are a cross between Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red, an English favorite. They were introduced for commercial production in 1965, and made their way into the U.S. market in the 1970's.
With a mildly sweet flavor and long availability window, this apple is one of today's most popular varieties. Galas are among the top 3 apple varieties grown in Washington State.
Exterior: Generally round with pale golden yellow with red stripes or blush skin
Interior: Firm and crisp with a slight yellow to cream interior
Experience: Mildly sweet and vanilla-like with a floral aroma. This is one apple that has a thinner skin than most
Gala apples are available under the Stemilt label, while organic Gala apples can be found under our Artisan Organics label.
How To Use Gala Apples
Snacking, salads, juicing, cooking, baking and freezing
When Can I Find Gala Apples
You can find Gala apples from Stemilt nearly all year long.
Gala Apple FUN Facts
- Gala apples are one of the first varieties Stemilt harvests in Washington State each August. Harvest continues into September.
- Because of their early harvest date, Gala apples tend to be smaller in size than most, making this one a great choice for kids.
- The Royal Gala strain was named to honor Queen Elizabeth II after she praised the apple during a visit to New Zealand.
- Gala ranks 2nd in the list of top ten apple varieties grown in the U.S., trailing only Red Delicious.

He immediately called his lawyer, who asked him if he had a bottle in the trunk, then advised him to immediately start drinking from it. By the time the police arrived on the scene, it would be impossible (or at least difficult) to ascertain whether he was already drunk when he was driving or whether he had, as he

The argument regarding the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado has its fair share of both supporters and detractors. Some point to a drop in violent crimes and big bumps in tax revenue, while others will point to an increase the number of people driving under the influence. Interestingly, though, that little stat may actually add one more item into the pros column.

Hey LL,
I discovered a small bug! Apparently, if you assign a post as STICKY and of a SINGLE CATAGORY, things work fine.
But when you assign STICKY and MORE THAN ONE CATAGORY to a post, then the post is replicated based on the number of catagories you assign it to. Hmm... wierd! Apparently this happens even if you DON'T assign sticky too.
I run WP 1.01 and have done all the 1.0 steps shown in your readme file including the one from 1.01.
I would love to make sticky posts for my WP, only i am using 1.2 RC1
will this apply?
I've created another sticky post system. It's viewable at http://blog.morydd.net/index.php?p=148
and can be viewed in action on the main page http://blog.morydd.net/
It currently works in RC2, but does not use WP-approved db calls because I could not get them working, if anyone is able to do this, let me know.
....where is the sticky.php file anyways?
Where does the < ?php if (empty($_GET) ) { include('sticky.php'); } ?> code go in the index.php file?
<?php if (empty($_GET) ) { include('sticky.php'); } ?> code goes in the index.php file wherever you wish your sticky post to appear, outside the WordPress Loop
Does it work with wp 1.2 Mingus?
Yes. I'd love to re-package it as a plug-in but I don't have the skills needed to set it up that way. Any help with that would be appreciated.
@morydd: if you like I can re-package your alternate sticky post system into a WP plugin.
@hdstich: I would greatly appreciate it.
ok, but I need some spare time... (busy working for my company) ;-)
hey @hdstich, what kind of timeframe are we looking at, since you are being responsible and working for the man? ;-)
I have a sticky post plugin based on using the custom fields attribute in WP 1.2, trial version should be ready later today, just sorting a few bugs out. You can make posts sticky for any category or subcategory or for the main listing. You can unsticky them whenever you want.
sounds interesting! using a custom field is also an oppurtunity for marking the posts sticky.
hehe, just started the coding...
any way to make it sticky (forever) within a category page? for example, i've got X categories, each with a descriptive post (says what the category is all about) - would love to leave the 'description' up top forever, so that all news posts just continue to go below...right now, i have to keep changing the dates...kind of tedious...
how would you take andrew_h's plugin (which is v1.2 compatible) and remove the postdate for the particular posts that you want to be sticky?
it looks like the answer to a similar question in this thread is for laughinglizard's method...which is not yet 1.2 ready (actually, it involves playing with the database and i am too scared too do that right now, being just a cut 'n paster).
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Kate Moss in Sandro Pluton Jeans in Noir
Kate Moss was spotted doing some quick shopping with husband Jamie Hince in London over the weekend. The Supermodel went back for some prints and pulled out her Sandro Pluton Jeans in Noir to wear with a Mulberry leather coat and some Isabel Marant Scarlet boots. Kate even added a pop of color with a teal sweater.
Sandro has quite a few new styles that I can also see Kate wearing, like their Pique and Piston motorcycle jeans. But one pair by them I would like to see her wear is the Poudre jeans, which is an acid wash pair. It'll be very intriguing to see how she will modernize the '80s wash. You can click here to purchase Sandro from their website.
Kate Moss in Wildfox Carmen Skinny Jeans in Airkiss
Kate Moss posed for some photos at the Rimmel London 180 Years Of Cool photocall at The Savoy Hotel in London, England. For the photos, the supermodel wore her Wildfox Carmen Skinny in Airkiss with a fringed bed jacket and her favorite Alaia boots. She then finished her look off with layers of charm jewelry.
It was just announced the past week that Kate will soon collaborate with Topshop again. How many of you are excited to see what she will bring to the table this time around? One thing for sure is that we can expect pieces that will have the same edge as the supermodel's personal pieces. Click here to purchase these jeans from the Wildfox website for $189.
3 Ways to Wear the FRAME Le Skinny Biker Jeans in Vian
I have always wanted to know how FRAME would do the motorcycle trend. They are a brand that have fit down perfectly, so it was only a matter of the details in my opinion. They did nothing but surprise me with their Le Luxe Skinny Biker. When it came to styling them, I had three women in mind; Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss, and Halle Berry. Each love themselves a motorcycle jean and have worn them each in their own way without taking away the edgy appeal of them. See the looks that were inspired by these three ladies below.
As we all know, Cara loves her street wear pieces with a mix of a late '80s and '90s feel to it. Her staples are usually a bomber jacket, a slinky shirt or tank with some bulky boots or sneakers. Then to finish it off she usually opts for a backpack instead of the usual handbag. With Cara, her jackets are always just as much of a statement as her jeans, so there was no doubt that I wanted to pair these jeans with a Scotch&Soda jacket. I then kept everything else monochromatic and paired it with a camisole by Topshop, then finished it off with a backpack and boots from Saint Laurent.
Kate Moss in MANGO Super Skinny Jeans
Even though she is no longer the face of MANGO, Kate Moss is still loving their jeans. Who can blame her when they fit her this well. She chose to pair the jeans with a Balmain shirt and her favorite Alaia boots to attend her daughter's birthday lunch.
It's great to see Kate wear a pair of dark blue jeans. It has been a while since we have gotten a sighting of her in some, which I think was a pair of Black Orchid a while back. You can click here to purchase MANGO jeans from their website.

Yes, I think it's very refreshing for this business to do something like this.
Nice ambiance, nice tightly-written copy, nice use of the word agronomist.
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever – Anonymous.
Gamble. Lose. Get burnt. Got it.
The Jobless Writer
Will Think for Salary
For the category it works. Farmers/growers care about their yield above all things. Gambling leads to a lower yield. Not the most creative, but a nice visual and gets the job done.
Small point body copy wise.... I'd say "the first time", not "first time".

Five good-looking women are enthusiastic about fucking on camera and get a big stick to play with. All of the girls are dressed in business suits and the deed is done in a typical office setting with a desk, couch, leather chair and a plant. And the women literally seem to be neighbor MILFs from the block - if your block happens to be South Florida where these scenes were shot.
One of the scenes is a POV with a redhead who stabs her coochie with office pens as foreplay. The other four scenes feature plenty of big boobs - both natural and enhanced. The sex isn't too notable, but the ladies are.

800MHz P565 Handset Coming Soon From ASUS
Posted by Aaron Zollo Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, GPS, Handhelds
ASUS announced that they would soon be releasing a smartphone with a touch interface and a whopping 800MHz of processing goodness. ASUS is featuring a new touch interface they have named "Glide," which overlays the Windows Mobile operating system. The P565 features not only speed, but a 2.8-inch VGA touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 640. The face is what you would expect for a touchscreen device, but what you cannot see is the leather that lines the back of the device, clearly aiming it for a business environment. The P565 incorporates Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, GPS, 256MB of flash, with 128MB DDR SDRAM, an SD slot, Blutooth, a 3 megapixel camera, and supports HSDPA 3.6Mbps, UMTS 2100, EDGE/GPRS/GSM 900/1800/1900, Class 10. No word yet on price or when it will launch, but it certainly should be a very capable device once it comes to market.

Ha-freaking-doken: Street Fighter IV launches February 17th
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: CAPCOM, Fighting, PlayStation 3, Release Dates, Xbox 360
We hope you guys are as ready as we are for this one, as Capcom has finally announced the release date for Street Fighter IV. You'll be able to pick up your copy for the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 on February 17th here in North America, and February 20th if you are in Europe. We've been waiting for this game for the better part of a decade, so you can bet we're stoked.
We also find it mildly amusing that in the announcement, Capcom urges people to pick up Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which is supposed to be available sometime this month, and yet, has no definitive release date to speak of.

Amazon selling HD DVDs for $7.99 each
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Hot Deals, Movies
Okay, we know that some of us put all our stock into HD DVD, going all out on movies and players, only to be burned by the eventual Blu-ray victory. However, that also means that HD DVD player owners can enjoy some steep discounts on media for the failed format. As an example, Amazon is currently selling 99 HD DVD titles for $7.99. Seriously, perfectly good movies like The Bourne Supremacy, Army of Darkness, and the like, all for $7.99. Meanwhile, those of us buying Blu-ray are doing so at $20 or more a pop! See? Doesn't that make you feel better about your HD DVD investment? We didn't think so.

iPhone 2.2 firmware drops November 21?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Google, Handhelds, Software
The rumor mill is buzzing today about the soon-to-be-released iPhone 2.2 firmware. iPhone Hellas is saying that we can expect iPhone 2.2 to be available for download on November 21, a mere 10 days away. We have no reason to doubt, since the 2.2 firmware has been in beta for a while now, and everything sounds like it working nicely. With iPhone OS 2.2 you can expect things like walking directions, Google Street View, public transportation information, the ability to share your location with others, over-the-air podcast updates and downloads, and your overall bug fixery.
This is certainly an update we are primed and ready to enjoy, so let's hope this rumor holds true, cool?

Clark Kent Without Glasses?
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorials, DC Comics
In one of the latest issues of "Action Comics," Clark Kent is asked whether he would consider laser surgery so he can get rid of his glasses. This got me thinking. In order for Clark Kent to hide his secret identity as Superman, he wears a pair of glasses. Over the past decade more and more people have been getting laser eye surgery to eliminate the need for eyeglasses. If things continue to go on like this and technology continues to improve, will no one in the world have to wear glasses? If so, what does it mean for Clark Kent? Does DC Comics have to find another way for Clark Kent to hide his identity? The removing of the glasses and the ripping open of the dress shirt to reveal the "S" on his costume is an iconic image for Superman. Will this hurt the character if he no longer wears glasses? Sounds silly? Maybe. Something to think about kids… feel free to leave your comments!
The Future of Smallville
Posted by Joel Rosenberg Categories: Editorials, Movies, Television, DC Comics
So what is to become of "Smallville"?
As a comic shop owner, I am in weekly contact with DC. Everytime I ask them for some good gossip I never get any. Advance word of All-Star Batman 10 would have been real nice. So even though the season is not even half over, we certainly can speculate.

With Gears of War 2 getting ready to drop tomorrow, bringing Submergence Day to all fans of the franchise, Microsoft is also releasing a Gears of War 2 Limited Edition Zune.

With the GOW2 Zune, Microsoft has pre-loaded a bunch of Gears content on the device itself. A bunch of images of art, the entire Gears of War soundtrack, along with quite a few pieces of video content related to both Gears of War and Gears of War 2.
We were able to get our hands on the Gears of War 2 Zune before its release, and have snapped a bunch of photos showing off the fantastic box art, the Zune device itself, and all the bonus content included on the device. Be sure and check it all out in our Gears of War 2 Zune unboxing gallery.

AT&T Movility President Ralph De La Vega just dropped the official word that the iPhone will be gaining the ability to be wirelessly tethered to notebooks, giving you 3G internet access on your laptop wherever your iPhone has a 3G signal. Just about every other smartphone that is the caliber of the iPhone has this ability, so it's been a long time coming. No definite date given or anything, but at least now we know that iPhone tethering is on the horizon.

Amazon aims to eliminate hard-to-open packaging
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Misc. Tech, Toys
After years upon years of frustrated purchasers cutting themselves on clamshell plastic cases, a company has stood up and proclaimed "No more!". This morning, a letter from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos appeared on the main page of the site, informing visitors that the company will now be working with leading manufacturers to deliver products "inside smaller, easy-to-open, recyclable cardboard boxes with less packaging material (and no frustrating plastic clamshells or wire ties)." They are calling it "Frustration-free Packaging." Really? Could a world really exist where you can simply buy a product, open a box, and easily remove said product from said box—without having to scour the immediate vicinity for a box cutter? We know, it sounds too good to be true. We applaud Amazon for standing up for both the environment, and our cut up fingers.

Testimony ends, but no ruling in cop's lawsuit
Published: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 11:15 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Lawyers are scheduled to give closing arguments Monday in a lawsuit filed against Terrebonne Parish government by a Houma Police officer seeking damages for alleged privacy and civil rights violations.
Lt. Darryl Cunningham filed suit a year ago against the parish government, detective Travis Theriot and interim Police Chief Todd Duplantis, alleging his personal cell phone records were illegally obtained by Theriot during an internal investigation and that he was harassed and faced retaliation for contacting The Courier about a Civil Service Board matter.
Testimony in the case, which was tried in federal court in New Orleans, concluded Wednesday. The defense presented four Houma Police employees who testified about a pair of investigations initiated against Cunningham for opening a letter addressed to Donna Wedgeworth, Duplantis' secretary, and contacting the newspaper about whether a notice was posted for a vacancy on the Houma Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board. U.S. Eastern District Judge Ivan Lemelle could issue a ruling following closing arguments Monday, though he could also decide the case at a later date.

The meaning of colors varies depending on one's culture, race, gender, and even age. So, it isn't just the selection of colors in general but also which colors to use with your target customers. The color Yellow is considered happy, warm and alert. Thus using yellow can be an attractor for your business with a relaxed feeling.

Dystopia used to seem sexier. In George Orwell's 1984, Big Brother used non-stop wars and ever-present surveillance to keep the population in check. A stray glance or thoughtcrime might send you to the slammer. Who wouldn't rebel against that?
In today's increasingly wired -- and wireless -- world, however, the surveillance situation is much more banal: Under the NSA's Prism program, APIs installed on servers running at Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other technology giants give government spooks access to meta-data relating to communications and phone calls. It is signals intelligence meets big data and analytics, with a self-writing sales pitch that seems tailor-made for the Big Three: "Mass surveillance to monitor for suspected terrorists across the entire United States, for only $20 million." Data storage, no doubt, costs extra.
To top it all off, the design of the top secret Prism PowerPoint documents -- leaked by Edward Snowden, 29, an employee of Booz Allen Hamilton who's done contract work for U.S. intelligence agencies -- are, in the words of renowned design guru Edward Tufte, "dreadful."

But the biggest problem with the NSA's program is that it has all the hallmarks of an "engineering first" mindset, along these lines: With all of that metadata floating in the ether, why not build it and see what secrets it might reveal? The same philosophy appeared to be behind Google's Street View program, in which a "rogue engineer" pursued wardriving by design, capturing Wi-Fi data for later analysis. Numerous governments fined Google for privacy violations.
Similar privacy fears were raised after a security researcher discovered that Carrier IQ diagnostic software installed on 141 million handsets could be used to capture every keystroke entered on the phone. While the company at first refused to discuss its software or what controls might be in place to counter abuse, it belatedly surrendered details in response to a Senator's inquiry.
Both of those episodes highlight that just because something is technically feasible, when it comes to U.S. citizens' rights -- including Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches -- that doesn't satisfy the moral question: Is it right?
Or in the words of Akamai's security evangelist, Martin McKeay: "'Democratic Surveillance' -- collect minimum needed to be effective. 'Totalitarian Surveillance' -- collect everything, sort it out later."
Is Prism even legal? George Washington University professor Orin Kerr, a former Department of Justice computer crime prosecutor, has suggested that Prism simply implements the Protect America Act of 2007 and FISA Amendments Act of 2008. But as Glenn Greenwald, the Brazil-based U.S. citizen who broke the Prism story for the Guardian tweeted Monday: "If everyone is so sure this spying is legal, why does Obama DOJ keep preventing federal courts from ruling on its constitutionality?"
Now it's up to the Obama administration to prove not only that the program is legal, but that privacy and usage safeguards are in place -- and subject to external reviews -- to ensure that information is only used to spy on foreigners, without infringing U.S. citizens privacy. In other words, the White House must prove the system is just.
Where moral questions are concerned, Snowden said he doesn't think the NSA operators were evil -- far from it. "Analysts (and government in general) aren't bad guys, and they don't want to think of themselves as such," he told The Washington Post. But the NSA's approach was based on a false premise: "If a surveillance program produces information of value, it legitimizes it,'" he said.
That "collect first, ask questions later" justification is chilling. Indeed, one big problem with big data analytics when practiced by intelligence or law enforcement agencies is that it's not a zero-sum game. The NSA's data dragnet operation snares information from everyone. According to accounts of how the system seems to work, it's then left to intelligence analysts to tweak their algorithms until they're only investigating hits on people they have a "51% confidence" of being foreign.
In the wrong hands, or without proper oversight, the data set collected by the NSA would be a privacy nightmare. In March 2013, for example, a study published in Nature found that "human mobility traces are highly unique," and that with just four data points -- involving location and time -- were required to "uniquely identify 95% of the individuals" studied. Picking two random points, meanwhile, allowed researchers to correctly identify half of people in the mobility data set, which was collected from 1.5 million people over a 15-month period.
Given the risks introduced by Prism, the big question in coming days will be: Who's guarding our secrets? Are the potentially petabytes of information being collected in safe hands?
One harbinger that the answers may not be to our liking comes via the actions of Snowden, a contract NSA network administrator who, after seeing the program in operation, gave up his $200,000 annual salary, job in Hawaii and hopes of ever seeing his girlfriend or family again. Snowden said the Prism program led him to conclude that the modern surveillance state is "such a direct threat to democratic governance that I have risked my life and family for it."
"Perhaps I am naive," Snowden told The Washington Post, "but I believe that at this point in history, the greatest danger to our freedom and way of life comes from the reasonable fear of omniscient State powers kept in check by nothing more than policy documents."
Now it's up to the Obama administration to refute that criticism and assuage Americans' concerns. In the words of Senator Mark Udall (D-Colo.), a member of the Senate intelligence committee who commented Sunday about ongoing Prism questions: "Let's have the debate, let's be transparent. Let's open this up."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
