HTML5Labs is where Microsoft prototypes early and unstable specifications from web standards bodies such as W3C. Sharing these prototypes helps us have informed discussions with developer communities, and enables us to provide better feedback on draft specifications based on this implementation experience. To find out more about HTML5Labs, read the blog by Jean Paoli, President, Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
2 WEBVTT\TTML VIDEO Captioning.
2.1.1 How to add captioning to HTML5 videos with the new HTML5 track element
2.1.3 Additional constraints and admonitions.
2.1.5 Permitted parent elements.
2.2.1 Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) applied to HTML5.
4.1.1 Installing WebVTT\TTML Demo.
4.1.2 WebVTT\TTML DEMO WORKING Process.
Media accessibility is an important aspect of the HTML5
specification. Soon
web developers will be able to add captioning to HTML5 videos with the new HTML5
element - all they need to do is point to a caption file that contains a written
representation of the dialog or actions in the video.
With this new functionality there is now no need for external
add-ons to
publish accessible video content.
The following HTML fragment shows how the track element works:
1: <video>
2: <source type="video/mp4" src="video_file">
3: <track src="captions_file" label="English captions" kind="captions"
srclang="en-us" default >
4: <track src="descriptions_file" label="English description"
kind="descriptions" srclang="en-us">
5: </video>
The W3C HTML5 specification allows multiple caption formats. The
Explorer 10 Platform Preview released at our recent Build conference does not
currently support any particular captioning format, but that will change in a
future release.
The <track> element is a child of a <video> or <audio> element that links to a timed track, or time-based data. The kind of data is set via a kind attribute, which can take values of subtitles, captions, descriptions, chapters or metadata, depending on the type of information you're adding to your media. This point to a source files containing timed text that the browser will expose via some kind of user interface, if the visitor requires additional data. This will allow for "write once, use everywhere" accessibility; anyone linking to that file with a <video> or <audio> element that includes the element can access your information.
<track kind=captions src="captions file">
In this prototype the <track> element alongside the video are used to show how TTML and WebVTT formats can be set to enable captions and descriptions on a video playback.
In order to add captioning to HTML5 videos with the new HTML5 track element, all you need to do is point to a caption file on the server that contains a written representation of the dialog or actions in the video.
With this new functionality there is now no need for external add-ons or extensions to publish accessible video content.
The following HTML fragment shows how the track element works:
<source type="video/mp4" src="video_file">
<track src="captions_file" label="English captions" kind="captions" srclang="en-us" default >
<track src="descriptions_file" label="English description" kind="descriptions" srclang="en-us">
Notes: There is no special requirement on what type of format should be used for the src property so HTML5 specification is written in such a way that multiple captioning formats can be used.
Any attributes permitted globally.
kind = "subtitles" or "captions" or "descriptions" or "chapters" or "metadata"
The kind of timed track.
- "subtitles": Transcription or translation of the dialogue in the soundtrack of the video or audio stream; meant for users who have access to the soundtrack but for whom it is not fully usable as intended (for example, for users who do not understand the language of the soundtrack).
- "captions": Transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant aural information in the video or audio stream; intended for cases where users do not have any access at all to the soundtrack (for example, for users who are deaf or for the case when the soundtrack is currently muted).
- "descriptions": Textual descriptions of the visual component of a video; meant for use with audio synthesis when the visual component is unavailable (for example, for users who are blind, or for users who are currently unable to view the screen on which the video is displayed-for example, a user accessing the video while driving a car).
- "chapters": Chapter titles.
- "metadata": Metadata content meant for use from script.
src= Non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces
The address of the timed track.
srclang = language tag
The language of the timed track.
A valid language tag as defined in [BCP 47].
label = string
A user-readable title for the timed track.
default = "default" or "" (empty string) or empty
Instructs the UA that the track is to be enabled if the user's preferences do not indicate that another track would be more appropriate
The track element is a void element. A track element must have a start tag but must not have an end tag.
The permitted parent elements of the html5 track are:
- video
- audio
Here is the DOM interface for the <track> element:
interface HTMLTrackElement : HTMLElement {
attribute DOMString kind;
attribute DOMString src;
attribute DOMString srclang;
attribute DOMString label;
attribute boolean default;
readonly attribute TextTrack track;
For more information about the track element read the full specification here
The TTML format (Timed Text Markup Language) is a W3C format intended for marking up external timed track resources.
A TTML file referenced by an HTML5 track element must be capable of being resolved to a TTML Infoset as defined by A Reduced XML Infoset. The following operations are defined on the TTML Infoset.
Presenting TTML in HTML 5 consists of the following steps:
- Compute inline style sets for the source TTML document
- Construct the list of event times for the source TTML document
- For each event time:
- Calculate the TTML cue object list
- For each TTML cue object
- construct the corresponding styled HTML document fragment.
- While media is playing:
- Generate the CSS blocks for the active cue objects at current media playback time.
- Insert CSS blocks into rendered output.
TTML offers three mechanisms for defining the equivalent of HTML 5 inline style. The nested and referential styles of TTML being used to avoid having large numbers of repeated attributes on each element, and allow groups of styles to be applied all at once; however this is merely a shorthand mechanism and is entirely equivalent to HTML 5 inline styles. TTML does not define an applicative mode of style application itself, but does not preclude the use of a mechanism such as CSS additionally being used for this purpose, where TTML style application would all have the same specificity as inline style. TTML Style inheritance is that of CSS, applied to the dynamic document. That is after the content is selected into the relevant region and inactive content timing rules. Thus external style sheets should also be applied to the dynamic DOM.
The Specified Style Set of properties is computed for each element:
- The initial specified style set for each element is set to empty
- Then style properties referenced by the affected element using the style attribute (referential styling) are processed in the following manner: For each style element referenced by a style attribute on the affected element and in the order specified in that style attribute; if the referenced style element is a descendant of a styling element, merge the specified style set of the referenced element into the specified style set of the affected element.
- Then style properties referenced through child nodes of the affected element (nested styling) are processed in the following manner: For each style element child of the affected element, and in the specified order of child elements, merge the specified style set of the child element, into the specified style set of the affected element.
- Then style properties that are applies as attributes on the affected element using the style attribute (inline styling) are processed in the following manner: For each style property expressed as a specified styling attribute of on the affected element merge that property into the specified style set of the affected element.
The following is a sample to show how TTML uses mechanisms like referential, nested and inline styling to define the equivalent of HTML 5 inline style.
// recurse over the tree, applying style to each element.
this.applyStyling = function (elem) {
var descendants = elem.childNodes;
var childrenCount = descendants.length;
while (childrenCount > 0) {
var child = descendants[--childrenCount];
// apply styles in correct order to element.
this.applyStyle = function (elem) {
if (elem == null || elem.nodeType != Node.ELEMENT_NODE) return;
var styleSet = {};
var i;
// do referential styles
var styleIds = elem.getAttribute("style");
if (styleIds != null) {
// parse styleIds into individual style id's
var ids = (styleIds.split(/\s/));
for (i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
var styleElement = this.getStyleElement(ids[i]);
this.applyStylesheet(styleSet, styleElement);
// if elem is region, do nested styles
if (matchTagNameNS(elem, "region", TTMLNamespace)) {
var iNodeList = elem.getElementsByTagName("style");
for (i = 0; i < iNodeList.length; i++) {
this.applyStylesheet(styleSet, iNodeList[i]);
// do inline styles
this.applyInlineStyles(styleSet, elem);
this.setStyleSet(elem, styleSet)
this.applyInlineStyles = function (styleSet, element) {
var attrs = element.attributes;
for (var i = 0; i < attrs.length; i++) {
var attribute = attrs[i];
if (attribute.namespaceURI == TTMLStyleNamespace) {
styleSet[getLocalTagName(attribute)] = attribute.value;
this.applyStylesheet = function (styleSet, stylesheet) {
if (stylesheet == null) return;
var styleIds = stylesheet.getAttribute("style");
if (styleIds != null) {
// parse styleIds into individual style id's
var ids = (styleIds.split(/\s/));
for (i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
var styleElement = this.getStyleElement(ids[i]);
this.applyStylesheet(styleSet, styleElement);
// do styles that are inline in the stylesheet
this.applyInlineStyles(styleSet, stylesheet);
this.translateStyle = function (elem, translation, tick) {
var baseStyleSet = this.getStyleSet(elem);
// clone the base style set
var computedStyleSet = {};
for (style in baseStyleSet) {
computedStyleSet[style] = baseStyleSet[style];
// apply style animations (if any)
var animations = elem.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < animations.length; i++) {
var animation = animations[i];
if (getLocalTagName(animation) == "set" && this.temporallyActive(animation, tick)) {
var overrides = {};
this.applyInlineStyles(overrides, animation);
for (style in overrides) {
computedStyleSet[style] = overrides[style];
// apply properties
for (style in computedStyleSet) {
this.applyTTMLStyleAsCSS(translation, style, computedStyleSet[style])
A set of TTML cue objects are constructed from the referenced TTML file by evaluating the TTMLInfoset at the TTML cue event times, that is, the set of time coordinates where some element becomes temporally active or inactive. The TTML Infoset is mapped once for each time coordinate in the TTML cue event times to a list of TTML cue objects as defined below, each TTML cue is then converted into an HTML 5 cue object.
Each region active at the TTML cue event time in the TTML Infoset will map to one TTML cue object in the list. If there is no region specified in the TTML Infoset, then the default region is used, and there will be at most one TTML cue object in the list.
Map the TTML Infoset to a set of event times by recursively walking the Information Elements starting at the root, and annotating each Information Elements with its absolute begin and end times, based on the begin, end and dur attributes; and recursively for each of the nodes children. The initial time containment context is seq, and the initial reference start and end times are that of the media to which the timed track applies.
Compute time intervals for an Information Element based on the time containment context, a reference start time and a reference end time in the following manner:
Set computed start time and computed end time to the zero time
Compute the beginning of the current element interval:
Set begin to the value of the "begin" attribute if present or the zero time otherwise
Set computed start time to the reference start time + begin;
Compute the simple duration of the interval:
(Note that par children have indefinite default duration, while seq children have
zero default duration. indefinite is truncated to the reference end time)
if the "dur" attribute is set and the "end" attribute is not set and the time container context is seq
Set referenceDur to the zero time
if computed start time is less than the reference end time
Set referenceDur to the reference end time - computed start time
set referenceDur to the zero time
if the "dur" attribute is set
Set dur to the "dur" attribute value.
if dur is greater than referenceDur
Set dur to referenceDur;
Set dur to referenceDur;
Set computed end time to computed start time + dur;
(note end can truncate the simple duration)
Set offsetEnd to the zero time and add reference start time
if attribute "end" is set
Set end to reference start time + value of "end" attribute
Set end to reference end time;
Set computed end time to the min of end and computed end time
Compute the child nodes:
if the time container context is par
for each child element of the node:
Compute Time Intervals for the child with par context, start time
as computed start time and end time as computed end time
for each child element of the node:
Set s to computedStartTime
Compute Time Intervals for the child with seq context, start time
as s and end time as computed end time
Set s to the computed end time of child;
An element is temporally active at time t, if the computed start time of the element is less than or equal to t, and t is less than the computed end time of the element. The TTML cue event times are those times where some element changes state from temporally inactive to temporally active or vice versa; that is, the Set of computed begin and end times in the annotated tree placed in order.
A content element is associated with a region according to the following ordered rules, where the first rule satisfied is used and remaining rules are skipped:
The following code sample elaborates the processing steps described above
this.isInRegion = function (elem, region) {
//A content element is associated with a region according to the
following ordered rules,
//where the first rule satisfied is used and remaining rules are skipped:
//1. if the element specifies a region attribute, then the element is
// associated with the region referenced by that attribute;
var r = elem.getAttribute("region");
if (r != null) {
return r == region;
//2. if some ancestor of that element specifies a region attribute, then the element is
// associated with the region referenced by the most immediate ancestor that specifies
// this attribute;
var ancestor = elem.parentNode;
while (ancestor != null && ancestor.nodeType == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
r = ancestor.getAttribute("region");
if (r != null) {
return r == region;
ancestor = ancestor.parentNode;
//3. if the element contains a descendant element that specifies a region attribute,
// then the element is associated with the region referenced by that attribute;
var descendants = selectNodes(elem, ".//*[@region]", m_ttmlSource);
if (descendants.length > 0) {
var dl = descendants.length;
while (dl > 0) {
var node = descendants[--dl];
if (node.getAttribute("region") == region)
return true;
//4. if a default region was implied (due to the absence of any region element),
// then the element is associated with the default region;
if (m_usingDefaultRegion)
return region == null;
//5. the element is not associated with any region.
return false;
To support the timed track model of HTML 5, each region element in the intermediate document is converted to a timed track cue with the following assignments:
The timed track cue identifier
Is set to the value of xml:id of the region used to construct the cue, or "" if the default region is used.
The timed track cue pause-on-exit flag
Is set to false unless the html:pauseOnExit attribute is set anywhere in the region markup.If value is not mapped above, or the set is multivalued, the value of voice is set to an integer; if the same set of roles is used in subsequent cues, then the same number shall be re-used, otherwise the number shall be unique over all cues in the track.
The body of the HTML5 cue is constructed from the region by converting the TTML Intermediate Document Object Tree into a DOM tree for the Document owner. User agents must create a DocumentFragment node for each HTML 5 cue, and populate it with a tree of DOM nodes that is isomorphous to the tree of TTML Intermediate Document Object Tree, using the following mapping of TTML Intermediate Document Object to DOM nodes:
TTML Intermediate Document Object
DOM node
ttml:region element
HTMLElement element node with localName "div" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:body element
HTMLElement element node with localName "div" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:div element
HTMLElement element node with localName "div" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:p element
HTMLElement element node with localName "p" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:span element
HTMLElement element node with localName "span" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:set element
The Specified Style Set of properties of the element is merged into the The Specified Style Set of properties of its parent.
ttml:br element
HTMLElement element node with localName "br" and the namespaceURI set to the HTML namespace.
ttml:metadata node
If the TTML source domain is not the same as the referencing HTML domain, then ignore. Otherwise, if the metadata contains only text elements, append a "data-metadata" attribute to the HTMLElement element associated with the containing TTML node, whose character data is the text of the metadata node, otherwise process child nodes of the metadata element and add to the HTMLElement element associated with the containing TTML node in an XML Island.
Anonymous span text
Text node whose character data is the text of the anonymous span
Elements In non TTML Namespace
If the TTML source domain is the same as the referencing HTML domain, then copy the nodes in their existing namespace; otherwise ignore
ownerDocument attribute
The ownerDocument attribute of all nodes in the DOM tree must be set to the given document owner.
The following code sample show how to convert elements in TTML to their equivalent in HTML
// translating elements in TTML to their equivalent in HTML
function translate(elem$, tick) {
var translation$ = $();
var name = getTagNameEquivalent(elem$);
var htmlName = "";
var htmlClass = "";
var htmlAttrs = {};
if (elem$.size() > 0 && temporallyActive(elem$, tick)) {
switch (name) {
case "tt:region":
htmlClass = "cue "; // to simulate the ::cue selector
htmlName = "div";
case "tt:body":
case "tt:div":
htmlName = "div";
case "tt:p":
htmlName = "p";
case "tt:span":
htmlName = "span";
case "tt:br":
htmlName = "br";
case "":
htmlName = name;
var attrs =
$(elem$[0].attributes).each(function (name, value) {
htmlAttrs[name] = value;
var role = elem$.attrNS('role', settings.TTMLMetaNamespace);
if (role) htmlClass += ((role) + ' ');
var classAttr = elem$.attrNS('class', settings.XHTMLNamespace);
if (classAttr) htmlClass += ((classAttr) + ' ');
// hack until display:ruby on other elements works.
if (role == "x-ruby") htmlName = ("ruby");
if (role == "x-rubybase") htmlName = ("rb");
if (role == "x-rubytext") htmlName = ("rt");
// convert image based captions here; and move the text into its alt.
// if I could get inline CSS to work div's then this would be set as style.
var image = elem$.getAttr('image');
if (image != null) {
htmlName = "img"
if (htmlName != "") {
translation$ = $('<' + htmlName + '>').defaultStyle().addClass(htmlClass);
// move ID's over. Use trackIdPrefix to ensure there are no name clases on id's already in target doc.
var id = elem$.attrNS('id', $.xmlNS);
if (id) translation$.attr('id', settings.trackIdPrefix + id);
// copy style from element over to html, translating into CSS as we go
translateStyle(elem$, translation$, tick);
// if we are copying over html elements, then copy any attributes too.
for (attr in htmlAttrs) {
translation$.attr(attr, htmlAttrs[attr]);
if (image != null) {
translation$.attr("src", image);
translation$.attr("alt", elem$.text());
return translation$;
//convert the element if it is in the region, then recurse into its contents.
// if it ends up with no children, then we dont add it to the region.
function prune(elem$, regionId, tick) {
var clone$ = $();
if (isInRegion(elem$, regionId)) {
clone$ = translate(elem$, tick);
if (clone$.length == 0) return clone$;
elem$.contents().each(function () {
if (this.nodeType == $.NodeType.TEXT_NODE) {
} else {
prune($(this), regionId, tick).appendTo(clone$);
return clone$;
The following code snippet unrolls using TTMLEvents and getCuesAtTime.This then makes it easier to use the <track> API's and also uses the same interface for WebVTT.
// initializing the caption Array that will contains the TTMLEvents
var captionArray = new Array();
var numberOfcalls = 0;
// Parsing over the TTMLEVENT to select all the overlapping cues
for (var i = 0, max = TTMLEvents.length; i < max; i++) {
if (TTMLEvents[i].elemScope == root$)
var cues = getCuesAtTime(TTMLEvents[i].tick, TTMLEvents[i].elemScope);
if (i > 0) {
for (var pastCuesIndex = i - 1; pastCuesIndex >= 0; pastCuesIndex--) {
if (TTMLEvents[pastCuesIndex].elemScope == root$ || TTMLEvents[pastCuesIndex].elemScope == TTMLEvents[i].elemScope) {
var overlappingCues = getCuesAtTime(TTMLEvents[i].tick, TTMLEvents[pastCuesIndex].elemScope);
if (overlappingCues.length != 0) {
else {
//Populating the 'captions' array with all the TTML Events based on their start and their end time
for (var j = 0, cueCount = cues.length; j < cueCount; j++) {
start: TTMLEvents[i].tick,
end: (i + 1 < max) ? TTMLEvents[i + 1].tick : settings.mediaDuration,
id: "caption" + (captionArray.length + 1),
caption: cues[j]
The WebVTT format (Web Video Text Tracks) is a format intended for marking up external text track resources.
A WebVTT file is simply a text file with a .vtt extension that follows a certain format.
A WebVTT file takes the following format:
[hh:]mm:ss.msmsms --> [hh:]mm:ss.msmsms [cue settings]
As you can see, the file needs to start with a WEBVTT FILE header followed by details of each cue that's specified within the video itself. (The idstring can be one or more characters that does not contain -> or \r, \n or \r\n).
Using the above format, let's take a look at the following sample WebVTT file:
00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:05.000 D: vertical A: start
Everyone wants the most from life
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000 A: start
Like internet experiences that are rich <b>and</b> entertaining
This particular example above defines two cues, each of which is, and must, be separated by at least one single line. The timings are pretty self-explanatory, as are the line texts.
There are a number of settings that can be specified for a subtitle cue which affect how it is displayed on the video:
- D: vertical | vertical-lr - specifies the direction
- L: XX% - specifies the line position relative to the video frame
- A: start | middle | end - indicates the text alignment
- T: XX% - specifies the text position
- S: XX% - specifies the text size
For a more comprehensive view of these settings, see cue settings.
As mentioned above, you can also add styling to the text within the cue itself. The example above uses a simple <b> element but CSS classes can also be added:
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000 A: end
Phone conversations where people truly <c.highlight>connect</c>
If you'd prefer that the text would appear step-by-step (as in karaoke) you can simply add different timings in the cue text itself:
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000 A: end
Phone<00:00:11.000> conversations<00:00:12.000> where people<00:00:13.
These are the basics, although there are some other cue text formatting options available.
The following sample shows how to process Cue texting.
this.getCueText = function (cueObj) {
// Let cue text be the empty string.
var cueText = '';
// Cue text loop: If position is past the end of input, then discard cue and jump to the step labeled cue text processing.
while (true) {
if (this.hasFileEnded())
return false;
// Collect a sequence of characters that are not U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) or U+000A LINE FEED (LF) characters. Let line be those characters, if any.
var line = this.getLine();
// If line is the empty string, then jump to the step labeled cue text processing.
if ((line == null) || (line == ''))
// If cue text is not empty, append a U+000A LINE FEED (LF) character to cue text.
if ((cueText != null) && (cueText != ''))
cueText += '\n';
// Let cue text be the concatenation of cue text and line.
cueText += line;
// Return to the step labeled cue text loop.
cueObj.text = cueText;
return true;
The following code snippet unrolls using cueEvents and getCuesAtTime.This then makes it easier to use the <track> API's and also uses the same interface for WebVTT,SRT ..
// initializing the caption Array that will contains the cueEvents
var captionArray = new Array();
//Populating the 'captions' array with all the cueEvents based on their start and their end time
for(var i = 0, max = cueEvents.length; i < max; i++) {
var cues = getCuesAtTime(cueEvents[i], cueObjs);
for (var j = 0, cueCount = cues.length; j < cueCount; j++) {
start: cueEvents[i] * 1000,
end: (i + 1 < max) ? (cueEvents[i + 1] * 1000) : settings.mediaDuration,
id: "caption" + (captionArray.length + 1),
caption: cues[j]
return {
captions: captionArray,
// The following are only used in TTML parser
descriptions: null,
navigation: null,
xml: ''
The following is a general description of how to complete Video Captioning using two different captioning formats:
Since the WebVTT\TTML demo is based on HTML5 the following requirements must be installed before it is able to run on a local machine are:
- Windows 7
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or Latest version of other browsers (Eg:Google Chrome, Firefox ,Safari)
- For older browsers the demo uses a Silverlight control so you might be asked to install Silverlight if it is not already installed on your machine.
- Internet Information Services (IIS 7.0)
To set up the WebVTT\TTML demo in your local machine, follow these steps:
- Set up IIS 7.0 here
- Copy the entire directory structure under inetpub/wwwroot
- Create a new Web site
- Call the choose-player.html on the browser
A screenshot of the WebVTT\TTML Demo website that lets you select avideo captioning format
To use WebVTT or TTML video captioning formats for the same video:
- Choose a captioning format buttons on the top as shown in the selected area.
- Select the Closed Captioning and Audio Descriptions from the CC and AD menu buttons from the video player as shown in the selected area.
- Click the links on the right, to view the captioning syntax in use as shown in the selected area.

Five Great Lesser Known Tupac Songs
Tupac Shakur is arguably the greatest rapper of all time. He left a massive body of work that allows new CDs released even a decade after his death. Just about everybody knows all of his greatest hits like, "California Love", "Changes", "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" and so on. However, no collection of Tupac songs should be without these gems:
"Hellrazor" – Off one of his posthumous records R U Still Down?… this is about as angry a rap song you will ever hear. Pac's passion on this track about the inner city traumas surrounding him completely pulls you in.
"Starin' Through My Rearview" – Ended up on his posthumous Resurrection album after being one of his best unreleased tracks for years featuring the Outlaws, this features his group at the top of their game as well.
"Bury Me A G" – The lead track off the often forgotten Thug Life: Volume 1 album, features a killer opening and ending verse on a slower paced track set to a simple beat.
"As Soon As I Get Home" – Tupac and his half-brother Yaki Kadafi tear this song up over a killer beat. This was eventually placed on his Pac's Life posthumously released album after floating around the Internet as an unreleased track for years.
"Smile" – A more well-known track featuring Scarface that still doesn't get enough mentions as one of his better songs.

A Quote by St. Theophan the Recluse on god, christianity, spirituality, egotism, evil, growth, freedom, love, and peace
Examine yourself to see whether you have within you a strong sense of your own self importance, or negatively, whether you have failed to realize that you are nothing. This feeling of self-importance is deeply hidden, but it controls the whole of our life. Its first demand is that everything should be as we wish it, and as soon as this is not so we complain to God and are annoyed with people.

I have finally found the perfect bra! And the perfect brand! Wacoal will be my brand of choice from now on and I've been searching for 30 years. The Embrace Lace is the 'perfect' bra. For the 1st time I can wear a bra and not even know that I have it on, not race to remove the minute I get through the front door. Not only is it comfortable, it has the best fit, makes me look very good under my clothes, and best of all I feel sexy and beautiful with it on. I've had a hard time finding lovely bras in my hard to find size, 36DDD, they are usually industrial looking if you can find them at all. DDD usually starts at a 38 band. Wacoal offers plenty of beautiful bras in this size and I have so much to choose from. I bought the Flamingo (hot Pink) first and went on from there buying most every color of the Embrace Lace collection. The Navy is next on my list! It's very important to me to not only have comfort but to feel good under my clothing, to know I have beautiful intimates underneath. Again, Wacoal provides that, and especially Embrace Lace. Just an added boost of confidence! I really can't recommend this bra high enough! LOVE IT!

Great fabric and stitching. Beautiful set in person. Im buying another set in a different color.
Love this but...
By Kilee
This brad is comfortable but the only downfall is that there is a seam that goes across the center which shows through lighter weight tops. I want to wear this during the summer but I may not be able to without it showing through.
Best Bra on the market

I have at least a dozen of these in all colors. Super comfortable, hold up extremely well and yes, agree with everyone that they are so feminine. I've tried lots of others....always come back to this. It's the best there is.....

The first bra I have found that does not ride up in the back. Very feminine, very comfortable! Not easy to find a bra in a size 32DDD I WILL NEVER WEAR ANYTHING ELSE AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THESE.

Just wish the straps were wider so as to be more comfortable for larger cup sizes.

Finally, something thrifty! Thrifting has been pretty dismal lately. And I've been busy with a new gig. I'm working with a few creative and dynamic people who are super passionate about plants. And that has inspired me to make this little green alter to worship Julia, the goddess of thrifty florals. Found her kicking back in a corner and was immediately captivated by her lovely colors. She was born in Finland by Tampella in 1978. Now, bow down to her and then, rub her clover belly for good luck!

Hey Laura, I recently went to an AMAZING antique mall in NE Portland. It wasn't all foofoo expensive antiques, but some really affordable awesome thrifty treasures (like old fiestaware pitchers for 8 bucks). The shop was called Moticello Antiques, definitely worth a tour if you're in the area. Also, I hear City Liquidators in Portland is reeeeeally fun.
@ Vicki Nice! Thanks for sharing some of that. Lara, hope that helps a little. Also, what I like to do is, if you have an iPhone, Yelp search the closest thrifts to you. I do that everywhere I go.ReplyDelete

Please come and decorate the house. Please. I can't open another box, not be able to decide on anything, cram it somewhere and then kick the empty cardboard down the stairs and drag it out front after flattening it in a rage. Maddening. And this planty post is GORGEOUS. Next on my list is LOTS OF GREENERY. Er...after I pull myself free of this mountain of cardboard.ReplyDelete
Seriously, come decorate my shit.

Autodesk Moves to Make Its Own 3-D Printer
Autodesk is known for programs that help people make things. Now the San Francisco company plans to make something itself–a 3-D printer and software to go with it, hoping to spur a hot market to move even faster.
Carl Bass, chief executive of the 32-year-old company, is announcing the move Wednesday at an event in Silicon Valley for the do-it-yourself set known as makers.
"This will be our first foray into hardware," Bass said in an interview. "We are trying to usher in a new age where there is more experimentation."
People are experimenting already. They often use Autodesk software to design various kinds of real-world objects that are fabricated with 3-D printers, which build physical objects by layering melted plastic or other materials.
But there are sticking points, Bass said. Many makers of 3-D printers each distribute their own proprietary computer software, which can be a complication for users. In some cases, customers also have to buy materials like plastic from the company that sold them the printer, he said.
Autodesk, by contrast, plans to allow its desktop printer to work with materials from a variety of suppliers. The company also will publish the complete design for the printer so essentially anyone can make compatible clone devices.
In other words, Autodesk is less interested in making money from hardware than aiding other companies that will compete on additional features and pricing.
Autodesk is not targeting the home market, where some printers are how available for less than $1,000. Rather, Bass said, its printer is targeted at more professional users–for creating small objects like medical devices or jewelry–and will likely end up closer to the $5,000 range, though exact pricing has not been set.
The other thrust of the effort is Spark, which Bass describes as an open software platform to make it more reliable and simpler to print simulated 3-D objects conceived on a computer. Autodesk hopes to convince many printer makers to use the free software rather than developing their own, hoping to emulate the way Google's Android software helped build a big market for compatible smartphones and tablets.
There's no shortage of players in 3-D printing already, including publicly held companies like Stratasys and 3D Systems. Bass is quick to note that some of the established companies see their software as a differentiator, and aren't likely to adopt Spark. "It's going to be a fight," he said.
Bass said Autodesk's printer and Spark will be available later this year.

Green and Black Caramels
Name: Green Tea and Black Sugar Caramels
I know, you must think me obsessed with caramels. But they are one of the most perfect expressions of sugar and fat. Soft, yielding, bursting with sugary flavor that lingers in the crevices of your mouth. They're great for summer too, since they're not subject to the temperature extremes of chocolate.
As promised, I'm ready to share my Japanese finds from my recent shipment.
First is Morinaga's Kokutou Caramel. This is what's known as a black sugar caramel, or probably what westerners know of as brown sugar or molasses. This caramel is darker than the milk caramels I've tried from Japan. It has a slightly rummy aroma and a definite molasses bite to it when chewing. It's a really nice, smooth caramel with a good finish. There's no molasses bitterness either. It's not sticky, but plenty chewy with a good milky consistency.
Morinaga also makes a Matcha Caramel, which is a green tea flavored caramel. The nugget is definitely green. It smells of green tea and tastes just like green tea ice cream, with that same smooth roasted flavor and slight bitter tinge. Unfortunately after chewing for a while, it feels a little grainy and slightly bitter, like there are real ground up leaves in there. That aside, they're quite addictive and both caramels complement each other well - so I can just alternate between the two all afternoon.
Rating: Kokutou Caramel - 8 out of 10

More Japanese Caramels
Name: Hi-SOFT Caramel and Milk Caramel
First, I give high marks to Morinaga's packaging team. Like the Hi-CROWN chocolate, the Hi-SOFT caramel comes in a spiffy hard box, perfect for carrying in a pocket or purse and fun to flip open to share. I'm not sure how many caramel products Morinaga markets, but these are just two I've found.
Of the two, I prefer the taste and texture of the yellow box Milk Caramel. Both are soft and chewy without being grainy, but the milky smoothness of the Milk Caramel far outweighs the Hi-SOFT's keen box. Of course nothing will ever top the happy fat cows that got me started on the Japanese caramels.
In fact, of all the caramels I've tasted over the past few months, I like the Milk Caramel best. Looking over the ingredients it has the right mix of sugar and milk products, a dash of salt and something I didn't expect - tea extract.

Strawberry HiCHEW
One of the things I forgot to tell you about from my Little Tokyo excursion is Hi-CHEW. I'm guessing it's the Starburst of Japan. It's a fruit flavored taffy - white on the outside with a corresponding colored center to the flavor. I tried strawberry. It's very flavorful and has a good soft chew. However, because they're made with millet jelly, they have an odd sort of latexy chew to them. It takes some getting used to, but it's a nice texture.

Morinanga Hi-CROWN
Name: Hi-CROWN Chocolate
I was attracted by the European cigarette box styling of this and expected to open it and have a wave of clove scent wash over me. However, inside was much more delightful. There were six chocolate wafers, each individually wrapped about the size of a thick stick of gum. They were scored in the middle, so you could break them in half.
The chocolate is smooth, buttery and very strong. Not too sweet though just a tad waxy to the mouth before it melts. Not at all bitter, but with a good solid acidic kick to it.
The price is quite appropriate for other types of premium chocolates and I will purchase this again. In fact, as a stocking stuffer, I would certainly prefer this to one of those chocolate oranges. The packaging is lovely and really sells the product. It's protective and quite a conversation starter.

Weather Journal: Autumn in the Air
By Jessica Sharoff
Autumn lovers rejoice! A significant cool-down, accompanied by crisp air and sunshine, will arrive just in time for the weekend.
Over the next few days, Greater New York can expect some of the coolest weather of the season so far. Relief from the recent heat and humidity will come by way of a cold front, as a deep dip in the jet stream brings refreshing Canadian air.
Don't be deceived when you wake up on Friday morning. The seeds of change will already be in the air. The day will start off dry, warm and breezy, with temperatures reaching into the upper 70s. But, be prepared. Once the sun goes down, clear skies will help lows plummet, dipping into the 40s in outlying suburbs.
Saturday will be even brisker, with daytime highs and nighttime lows well below normal for mid-September. Cooler temperatures will once again be accompanied by pleasant, clear, sunny skies and a light breeze. While flawless fall weather for some, others may mind the sudden summer sendoff.
Temperatures rise slightly on Sunday, making for perfect football weather when the New York Football Giants kick off their home opener at the Meadowlands in New Jersey.
Your Weather Journal weekend forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan: mostly sunny and cool, with low humidity
- High: Saturday: 69; Sunday: 73
- Low: Saturday: 54; Sunday: Low: 60
Saturday/Sunday highs for Greater New York:

|Years active
|Jack Gill (1981–present) (2 children)
|Katie Gill (b. 1985)

Morgan Brittany (born Suzanne Cupito, December 5, 1951[1]) is an American actress, best known for her role as Katherine Wentworth, the scheming younger half-sister of Pamela Ewing and Cliff Barnes, in the prime time soap opera Dallas.
Early child career[edit]
Cupito began her career as a child in a 1957 television special called Playhouse 90. She followed that up with her first of three Twilight Zone episodes, uncredited as a little girl in "Nightmare as a Child", Sissy Johnson in the fourth season episode, "Valley of the Shadow", and Susan in the fifth season episode, "Caesar and Me". She was featured in the 1962 film Gypsy, as Baby June.[2] She appeared uncredited in the birthday party scene and the scene at the school house in the 1963 film The Birds. In 1963, she played the role of Winter Night in the episode "Incident of the Hostages" on CBS's Rawhide. In 1964, she starred as a blind girl called Minerva Gordon in a two-part episode of The Outer Limits entitled "The Inheritors" with actor Robert Duvall, and appeared in the western film Stage to Thunder Rock. Cupito appeared in the final episode of the TV western series Branded in 1966, playing the role of an orphaned girl named "Kellie" in an episode of the same name. She was part of the ensemble cast in the 1968 film, Yours, Mine and Ours, which starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. Cupito was also in the season 8, episode 1 of The Andy Griffith Show titled "Opie's First Love" as Mary Alice.
Adult career[edit]
At age 18, Cupito changed her name to Morgan Brittany and then appeared with Gene Kelly in his Las Vegas show, Gene Kelly's Wonderful World of Girls, as a dancer. She then moved to New York City where she modeled for The Ford Modeling Agency, and appeared in several TV commercials and print ads (including a three-year stint as "The Ultra Brite Toothpaste Girl"), and was spokesmodel for brands such as L'Oreal, Ford, Levi's and Camay. In 1974, she was hired by the Japanese cosmetics company Kanebo to be the "face" of their product "Ireine", and so moved to Tokyo for a couple of years.[citation needed] In 1976, she returned to the U.S. and restarted her acting career.
In 1976, Brittany portrayed Vivien Leigh in the biopic Gable and Lombard, the first of three occasions on which she would play the famous actress.[2] That was followed by TV movies and television shows, such as The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977) with Tommy Lee Jones, The Initiation of Sarah (1978) with Kay Lenz and Shelley Winters, Death Car on the Freeway (1979) with Shelley Hack, The Dream Merchants (1980) with Mark Harmon, and LBJ: The Early Years (1987) with Randy Quaid. She also starred in a pilot Stunt Seven (aka The Fantastic Seven) in 1979 with Christopher Lloyd, Patrick MacNee, and Elke Sommer. In 1980, while filming an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard, Brittany met her future husband, stuntman Jack Gill.[3]
She appeared again as Vivien Leigh in the climax of the 1980 made-for-TV movie, The Scarlett O'Hara War, which marked the second of her three portrayals of the famous actress.[4] This caught the attention of the producers of Dallas, who were searching for an actress to play Katherine Wentworth, the sister of Pamela Ewing and Cliff Barnes.[3] Brittany debuted on Dallas in the 1981-82 season and her role as Katherine continued, on and off, until 1984. In 1985, she returned for a cameo in that season's finale where her character killed Bobby Ewing by running him over with a car, killing herself in the process. Brittany made a brief, final appearance on the show in 1987, after it had been revealed that Bobby's and Katherine's deaths had been a dream.
In 1984, Brittany co-starred in the short-lived ABC drama series, Glitter, in which she played Kate Simpson, a reporter for an entertainment magazine. This was one of several collaborations with producer Aaron Spelling throughout her career. Her first show with him was an appearance in Burke's Law, in 1964 when Brittany was a child. Later, as an adult, she appeared in episodes of The Love Boat, Hotel, Fantasy Island, Melrose Place, and the 1990s revival of Burke's Law. She also starred in one of Spelling's TV movies, The Wild Women of Chastity Gulch with Joan Collins.
Brittany and Bruce Jenner hosted the sports show Star Games. She then hosted over 100 episodes of the magazine show Photoplay, produced by Jack Haley, Jr. She has guest starred on other shows, including Married... with Children, Murder, She Wrote, and The Nanny. In film, Brittany starred in the 1989 cult classic Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat with David Carradine, John Ireland, and Bruce Campbell.
Recent years[edit]
In the 1990s, Brittany appeared in the independent films, including Riders in the Storm (1995), Legend of the Spirit Dog (1997), The Protector (1998), The Biggest Fan (2002), Mothers and Daughters (2006), and Americanizing Shelley (2007). She also appeared in the 2010 docudrama, 1 a Minute,[5] and made a guest appearance on the television series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and Son of the Beach.
Currently, Brittany is a conservative political commentator and author. She writes a weekly column for WorldNetDaily [6] and Townhall Finance.[7] Her first book along with co-authors Ann-Marie Murrell and Dr. Gina Loudon entitled What Women Really Want was released September 2, 2014.[8] She is a recurring guest on Hannity (FOX News), The Rick Amato Show (One America) and has appeared on The Kudlow Report (CNBC). Brittany is a co-owner and anchor for PolitiChicks, an online news site with a conservative perspective. [9]
She now spends much of her time supporting Republican political candidates, and is involved in raising funds for military/veterans organizations.
Personal life[edit]
Brittany married stuntman Jack Gill in 1981. They are the parents of actress Katie Gill and musician/stuntman Cody Gill.[1]
During the 1980s, Brittany was a national ambassador for the March of Dimes. She traveled the United States raising funds and bringing awareness to the prevention of birth defects. She participated in the Congressional "Walk" in Washington, D.C., with such members of the House of Representatives as its then Speaker, Representative Thomas Phillip "Tip" O'Neill Jr., a Massachusetts Democrat. Her time with the March of Dimes lasted two decades, and during her involvement she was invited to the White House in 1986 with Ronald Reagan and again with Bill Clinton. Brittany splits her time between Southern California and Atlanta, Georgia.[citation needed]

Four years after leaving the U.S. Olympic track and field trials at Eugene, Ore., in a wheelchair, Alysia Montano is the favorite again in the 800 meters as the trials return to Hayward Field.
"I am very ready," the 26-year-old East Bay resident said, "and also I'm not scared."
Certainly not scared about competing on the track she left in tears after breaking her right foot in 2008. Winning at the USA championships last year in Eugene "killed the ghosts" of Hayward Field, said Tony Sandoval, who has coached the former Alysia Johnson since her days at Cal.
More confirmation came three weeks ago in her season debut on the same track at the Prefontaine Classic, where she ran a meet-record time of 1 minute, 57.37 seconds -- the second-fastest in the world this year.
Montano is scheduled to run a first-round heat Friday, semifinals Saturday and the final Monday at what she calls "the baby big show."
"The big show is where I want to be," said Montano, who needs a top-three finish at Eugene to earn a ticket to the London Olympics.
Montano brings a sense of calm to the trials, something that didn't always come naturally to her.
In 2008, she was more anxious than eager entering the trials. A year earlier, she had swept the NCAA indoor and outdoor titles and the USA outdoor championship as a Cal junior, and Sandoval suggested she skip the '08 college season to focus on a shot at Beijing.
But Montano wanted the chance to compete for Cal one last season and defend her collegiate titles.
"It didn't even occur to me that I could get hurt," she said. "I felt like I was kind of invincible."
When a pain developed on the top of her right foot early in the spring, Montano played it safe, withdrawing from the NCAA meet. An MRI provided no clues.
Deep down, Montano knew something was wrong.
"In my own way I was in denial about it," she said. "I thought I could just do this Kerri Strug sort of thing."
But gymnast Strug had to run perhaps 20 yards on a sprained ankle before executing her final vault at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics to clinch a gold medal for the U.S. women. Montano had to complete the metric half-mile.
"Her foot blew up on her," Sandoval said, reflecting on Montano's ninth-place finish in a first-round heat.
"It was a devastating thing," Montano said.
Montano was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the navicular bone in her right foot. Because blood flow to the area is limited, recovery can be difficult.
"That injury can be career-ending," Sandoval said.
Montano didn't rush back. She changed coaches in 2009, signing on with Joaquim Cruz, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist from Brazil, and spent a season training in San Diego.
By 2010, she was back with Sandoval, but the one-year detour had a side benefit. She reunited with Louis Montano, her childhood best friend, and a year later they were married.
Now Montano is settling into a life with balance. She putters in the garden with Louis at the Berkeley home they purchased last year and surrounds herself mostly with friends who are not runners.
At the track, her husband and her coach help complete an ideal training team.
"Tony and Louis are pretty calming guys. It offsets my personality," Montano said. "Everything I do, I want to make it explode."
Montano is in such good shape that both she and Sandoval were convinced she needed just one prep race -- the Prefontaine -- before the trials.
"The anxiousness is gone," she said. "My mentality is very fit, so stable. I feel like it's easier for me now."
The 800 -- two laps at almost a sprint pace -- has appeared increasingly easier for Montano the past few years. In 2010, she ran the fastest time in the world (1:57.34) and finished the season ranked No. 3 globally. Last year, she made the final of the world championships in Daegu, South Korea, missing a medal by just 0.06 seconds.
Montano expects to enter the trials feeling fresh and ready to unleash the results of her training.
"It's like you've saved everything inside of this bag and you keep putting stuff inside of this bag until it's ready to burst," she said. "And when it does, all that goodness shows itself."

1) Joe's WAP is beaconing. Based on the contents of the packet capture, what are the SSID and BSSID of his access point?
SSID: Ment0rNet
BSSID: 00:23:69:61:00:d0
2) How long is the packet capture, from beginning to end (in SECONDS – please round to the nearest full second)?
3) How many WEP-encrypted data frames are there total in the packet capture?
4) How many *unique* WEP initialization vectors (IVs) are there TOTAL in the packet capture relating to Joe's access point?
5) What was the MAC address of the station executing the Layer 2 attacks?
6) How many *unique* IVs were generated (relating to Joe's access point):
a) By the attacker station?
(We also accept 14132, as one of the IVs was *generated* by another station, and only *replayed* by the attacker's station. See my comment #4 below.)
b) By all *other* stations combined?
7) What was the WEP key of Joe's WAP?
8.) What were the administrative username and password of the targeted wireless access point?
9) What was the WAP administrative passphrase changed to?
8 Responses to "Puzzle #8 Answers"
Related to the solution of 6a I would like to point out that there is a distinct difference between the number of unique IV's GENERATED and the number of unique IV's SENT by the attacker's station. Because the first IV (5987fd) sent by the attacker is actually a replay of a packet that was sent (and generated) earlier by the base station. Therefore, I would suggest the correct answer to 6a would be 14132 instead of the number of uniquely SENT IV's by the attacker's station which is 14133.
When is the next challenge and is it being announced via twitter?
I agree with stefan. Additionally, the answer to question 4 (total unique IVs) is 29719.
When we add 14133 and 15587, we get 29720, which is one off from question 4.
@stefan: Three of the most common types of programmatic errors are "infinite loops" and "off by one." 🙂
You're surely correct in that exactly one of the IV's sent by the attacking station was the replay. I counted it twice. My bad. And I'll prove it too:
$ tshark -r evidence08.pcap -R '(wlan.bssid == 00:23:69:61:00:d0) && (wlan.sa == 1c:4b:d6:69:cd:07) && wlan.wep.iv' -T fields -e wlan.wep.iv|sort -u >unique_IVs_sorted_attacker.txt
$ tshark -r evidence08.pcap -R '(wlan.bssid == 00:23:69:61:00:d0) && (wlan.sa != 1c:4b:d6:69:cd:07) && wlan.wep.iv' -T fields -e wlan.wep.iv|sort -u >unique_IVs_sorted_not_attacker.txt
$ wc -l unique_IVs_sorted*
14133 unique_IVs_sorted_attacker.txt
15587 unique_IVs_sorted_not_attacker.txt
29720 total
$ comm -12 unique_IVs_sorted_*
Obviously we'll be accepting either answer. 🙂
@baganon: Contest #9 was at Defcon 19 exclusively, much like last year. It's been fought and won. We'll try to get to posting the puzzle for everyone who couldn't make it to Vegas, and also come up with #10 as soon as we can. We don't currently tweet, but may consider it. If we decided to, we'd announce it here, so stay tuned to this RSS feed, right?
When will the winners of contest 8 be announced?
For question 4:
Am I using the correct display filter?
wlan.wep.iv && wlan.fc.retry == 0 && wlan.bssid == 00:23:69:61:00:d0
It shows me the output as: 57009 frames
Below is the reason for using each of those display filters:
wlan.wep.iv -> displays the frames with IVs
wlan.fc.retry == 0 -> don't display retransmitted frames. IV value is the same for retransmitted frames or when the R flag is set
wlan.bssid == 00:23:69:61:00:d0 -> Joe's WAP BSSID
Have you announced the winners of this puzzle?

Local anti-tobacco activists are encouraging smokers to take the smokeout challenge. They say if local smokers can prove to themselves that they can quit for just one day, that success will translate into months, years and eventually a whole new smoke-free lifestyle.
Eric Mathis, who pledges not to use tobacco products, was the first of many pledges collected around south Georgia Monday. For folks like Eric, saying no to tobacco is a life or death decision.
Eric says, "I know it's very detrimental to my health. My mom smoked for so many years and she actually died of lung cancer. This is something that is strongly engraved in my mind and I won't start smoking."
But how many tobacco users will really kick their habit on this smokeout day?
Kenyarda Moore, spokesperson for the South Health District, says, "Actually, it's been shown that more smokers quit on Great American Smokeout Day than any other day of the year including New Year's Eve."
Speaking of the holidays, health officials say kicking the habit is the best holiday gift smokers and other tobacco users can give to themselves and their loved ones.
Kenyarda adds, "A lot of people may start thinking about New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year. They might turn over a new leaf and lose weight or quit smoking, so this is very important at this time of year to start putting the idea in people's minds."
That's why Lowndes County is celebrating The Great American Smokeout with pledges from local tobacco users all week long, and this week also marks the third anniversary of Georgia's Tobacco Quit Line.
Health officials say more than 35,000 Georgians have benefited from the services of the quit line.

St James
Product Details
Out of Season - sorry!
St James has a smooth and dense texture which can either ripen to fully broken down smoothness or retain a section of moist and floral acidity in the centre. Characteristically it has immensely savoury, rich, meaty flavours with a luxuriously creamy edge. We often compare the meatiness to caramelised roast lamb or the smokiness of slowly fried bacon.
Made by Martin Gott, Nicola Robinson and Andrew and Sandy Legg at Holker Farm near Cartmel, Cumbria using the milk from Martin and Nicola's flock of Lacaune sheep. Lacaune are the breed whose milk is used in France for Perail and Roqeufort where they are well known for giving hugely flavoursome milk. Martin and Nicola graze them on clover-rich fields and only milk them once a day. This regime means the sheep aren't intensively farmed or milked and are healhier and less stressed as a result. We think this too helps them produce great milk and, in tu, great cheese.
