My favourite Harry signing;Kyle Walker, followed very very closely by Sandro.I believe VDV was a Levy signing?! Thanks Harry,ta taCOYS!!!
H, I can't say who my favourite is as I don't know if HR signed any or Levy did !!!!Those that have come during Harry's tenure I would also say Sandro. Parker is getting over the hill for his game but still does a remarkable job whereas Sandro is still very young and will grow into a better player than we are seeing at the moment. Just needs to add consistancy and he'll be the star man at Spurs for a few years to come!!

Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to change the picture sort order for one gallery? I found some tricks to change the sort order completely, by modifying one of the scripts, but am looking for a possibility to do it for one gallery only, where I want to show the newest picture first (my pictures are named 2011-02, 2011-01, 2010-12, 2010-11 etc. showing a pictures for each month).
Need something like
[nggallery id=122 order=inverse]
Would really appreciate if this could be implemented, or if you could provide me advise on how I can easily do this myself on my site.

They said : estimated time of finish December 4th 2010, but it was 3 days past that..no deal really..
So I went picked it up brought it back hooked it up decided to play a game. the game lagged since the computer was wiped clean no previous files etc <on the main hard drive at Least> I figured it was just the game or back ground virus or adware or spy ware so I scanned the computer , did all those things one does to remove any posible issue. but since it seemed only my games were slower I decided to look at my graphics card perhaps its settings revert so it was slower.
but apparently my Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT series card was replaced with a GeForce 8400 GS so I figure it's just some mistake right? they said the gfx card malfunctioned to so they replaced it which , fine.. however I'm not a techie but I assume there were some improvements with in the 8500 GT other wise they wouldn't of released it. So I went to the store and asked them they said : Well its 512 MB's of Video Ram so its the same.. but No...it's not it lacks resolution ..so essentially they refuse to replace it with a Equal gfx card.
if you need a computer fixed do NOT take it to Staples in Mount Vernon unless ya enjoy having your comps components replaced with inferior models.
sigh , I miss the days of small HONEST businesses. because you know you can't sue a large corporation due to the fact they can higher some top notch lawyer and bam your screwed no matter what they did.

Global Value Chains in Capitalist DevelopmentOutsourcing Economics has a double meaning. First, it is a book about the economics of outsourcing.

#1 UPDATE Employee
So which is it?
AUTHOR: Malignantpoodle - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 02, 2009POSTED: Sunday, August 02, 2009
Next, Public Storage does not keep a copy of a key for locks used on the property. If you bought the lock at PS, it was sealed. If you brought your own, only you have the key. In either case, PS did not have a key to your unit unless you gave them one.
Third, if PS goes into a unit to sell things at auction, this is a very involved process that requires multiple steps to accomplish. Not an employee, a manager, nor a district manager can just gallivant through the property taking things out of units for which they don't even have the key for in the first place. Auctions are a matter of public record.
Lastly, when and if PS enters a unit in lien, they CUT THE LOCK with bolt cutters. They do not have a key, and even if they did it doesn't matter because if you're locked out of your unit they're not going to open your lock, take your stuff out, and then put your lock back giving you access to your unit.
Common sense deduction and experience with the company and process tells me that one of the following two things are what more than likely happened;
1. You didn't pay your bill and went into lien. You still didn't pay and your unit got sold at auction. The employee at the property that told you that you were late was probably explaining why you had been sold at auction.
2. There was no auction, and someone else that you know had the key to your unit and removed your belongings. When you told PS they wouldn't help you, and your minimal account of the conversation between the employee and yourself was completely wrong. PS likely informed you that that's not their problem.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

My calender stopped showing after upgrade to wordpress 3.4. The categories show up just not the calender. http://foodchef.net/post_typesp_events can anyone help
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
My calender stopped showing after upgrade to wordpress 3.4. The categories show up just not the calender. http://foodchef.net/post_typesp_events can anyone help
I have the same problem. Someone could help us?
Thank you
My calendar also stop showing the calendar view. I stopped some other plugins, but nothing helps. I also just see the category's.
@ johnaustinny - how you fix your problem, I see it work again now on your homepage?
I actualy had someone else look at it for me and they fixed it. However I just switched themes and now its not working again. I have emailed the tech who fixed it last time to see how he fixed it and how i may do it if this happens again. From my understanding it has something to do with the http://jquery.com/. when i figure it out ill share with everyone.
Here is the fix for the issue with jquery 1.8. After modifying my theme my calender stopped working. My new theme uses Jquery 1.8. In turn if your site uses Jquery 1.8 this is the fix for you.
open the file in the calendar plugins javascript folder called jquery.fullcalendar.min.js and do a find and replace for curCSS to css.
There are about twenty curCSS that you need to modify to css. after you make those changes and save and uploaded back to the plugin folder were it goes. It should work. Make sure to back up your data just in case. Hope this helps
WordPress 3.4.1 uses jQuery 1.8.20 by default.
thanks for the note.
changing curCSS to css worked for me. Nice find!
Yup curCSS to css worked for me as well. Thanks!
Worked for me too, thanks!
So, for a NEWBIE, can you tell me specifically how to find this folder? I'm so frustrated that I lost my event calendar.
I found the folder, but it's not working for me :-( I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
THANK YOU johnaustinny! Too bad the forum has no thumbs up or votes. It's odd that changing a theme would "lose" the entire online calendar. Editing the calendar still showed them so I didn't panic - just had to find the angels who post solutions.
Editing ..\wp\wp-content\plugins\ajax-event-calendar\js\jquery.fullcalendar.min.js to replace curCSS to css (then ftp the file) fixed the problem.
has stopped working again does anyone have the same issue. the fix i earlier used no longer works. It looks like that was addressed in the recent update of the plugin. Is there a new issue anyone is aware of?
I tryed this fix but it did not work either. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ajax-event-calendar-ajax-event-calendar-dont-like-the-apostrophes?replies=11#post-2259386
It looks as though you got it working again, unless I'm mistaken.
Care to share the particulars? It might help others who are having the same issue.
I updated my theme version of my wordpress theme. That seem to fix a few issues with a few plugins that were using ajax I beleave. I also updated to wordpress 3.5.1
I'm having this issue with WordPress 3.5.1 and plugin v. 1.0.4 (deprecated curCSS is no longer present in the js file).
Culprit found!!
Perhaps someone can tell me why this was breaking the calendar?
I had, in a document ready script:
jQuery.colorbox.settings.current = "{current} of {total}";
To keep it running, I just made it specific to the gallery pages where I need it, it now doesn't run and interfere on the calendar page.
if (jQuery('div.gallery').length > 0) {
jQuery.colorbox.settings.current = "{current} of {total}";
Which I probably should have done anyway, but it seemed like an innocuous little C+V job!
Advice: check every piece of javascript you have, especially those interacting directly with properties of the jQuery object!!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do I find this "document ready script"?
Same Problem. Same WP and plug in versions. Same question as ayu13.
Newbie and not techie. :-( Help!
Plugin serves in 4 different tabs for different group events.
Thank you in advance.
Hi ayu13, cadzgiz,
In my case, this was something I had added to header.php (but may also be part of a pre-made theme you're using).
It looks like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// with a bunch of lines here
I was using colorbox via the Lightbox Gallery plugin.
I wanted to change some of the settings, so I was interacting directly with the settings object, which was part of the colorbox object, which extended the jQuery object (if you follow!).
However, on my events calendar page, there was no lightboxs, so the colorbox object never got added to jQuery.
In that case, when I called jQuery.colorbox, it resolves as "undefined".
This is what appeared to break the calendar script, as it appears that jquery.fullcalendar.min.js is also extended the jQuery object (from what I can tell of the minified code!).
Long story short - I think the issues with this plugin probably all boil down to jQuery conflicts.
To test - Disable all other plugins, and switch to a standardized theme (e.g. twentytwelve). If the calendar works here, but not in your desired theme - you may be having similar problems.
If you like, send me a link to your site and I can take a quick look and see if I see the same issue.
Hi there. Seems you all have been successful at loading your calendar on your site. I have not. In need of direction and not tech savy. Just updated wordpress and all other pluggins... and no longer have the calendar present. Your help would be appreciated.
@Pierson - Have a look here: Ajax Event Kalender
I've used the All in one calendar vesion 1.7. After this version it was a mess!! This WAS one of the best plugins I've used.
@Pierson Looks ok now! Did you find your problem?
Would you mind helping me? I'm having a similar issue, although my shortcode is not parsing at all. I've disabled all other plugins, changed to the standard 2012 theme, etc. Still nothing.

A lavish southern sanctuary for the 21st-century traveler.
Dating back to 1924, this lovely property feels like an old money manor that's been modernized (both stylistically and technologically) in just the right ways. The front entrance of this Historic Hotels of America affiliate offers a stately welcome with its brick façade and two-story portico, and the genteel, refined public spaces are akin to private drawing rooms—particularly the sunroom with its big windows, comfy chairs and chess set. The guest rooms and suites are traditional with lots of florals, from the fresh flower arrangements to the bedspread patterns to the botanical prints on the walls. Accommodations aren't too fussy, though, and come equipped with goodies that include data ports, dual telephone lines, voice mail—and chocolate chip cookies since the property is part of the Doubletree family. Along with the ambience, other notable features include an elegant tea service, an inner courtyard with a lush, New Orleans' feel, and New American cuisine served at Carolina Crossroads Restaurant.

Product Care Instructions
Felt Hats - Keep your hats dust free. We recommend a soft bristle brush for cleaning felt hats. Always brush with the nap in a counter clockwise motion. Ordinary dust marks and smudges may be removed with a hat cleaning sponge. To store your hat, we recommend keeping it in a hat box. Always place the hat upside down on its crown to avoid affecting the shape of the brim. Felt hats were not intended to be worn in the rain. However, if a hat does get wet, flip the sweatband outward and set the hat upside down on its crown to allow it to dry naturally.

29 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
This Timex Expedition is my fourth or fifth ... same model. Salmon fishing in Alaska, playing golf, hunting, camping ... it's been around the world. I just wish that it came in a genuine stainless steel case with a stainless steel clasp-style watch band (I bought that separately). As the watch ages, the current case corrodes around the edges ... and actually gets sharp enough to irritate my arm. So I just get a new one each time. A STAINLESS case and band would be a vast improvement on an already great watch!!!!!
I bought this watch because it is the exact same one by dad had before he lost it. My dad owned the watch for at least 2 years and loved the date and time option how sturdy it was made. Walmart had the best price for the watch compared to JC Penney and Bass Pro. I thought it would be a great gift to give him for his birthday...BACK IN MARCH! If only it arrived back in March. The main issue is that the site to store shipping was ridiculously SLOW! The watch was supposed to arrive in store on March 19th at the latest. It didn't arrive until April 1st. I know it's free, but I couldn't believe how long it took for it to get to the store. Just a note to shoppers...give yourself an extra week or two leeway (from estimated arrival date) for site to store shipping if you need it by a specific date. Lesson learned.
Nice field watch for the price, water resident leather strap and the Indiglo light are great extra's and held up in the ocean. It has a solid stainless steal case and mineral glass, something not found in your cheaper watches. Overall it's a decent watch.
Bought this watch two months ago and it performs perfectly. Bright indiglow, nice leather band. A all around great buy...
If you want a basic watch for casual events or outdoor activities, this will do fine. Not suitable for nice dinners or the office. One negative is the "crown" can't be used to set the day. It works for the date, but to set day of the week you have to wind the hands through 24 hour periods to get the day you want.
The watch ordered was a black leather band; I got a brown one with a brown bezel in lieu of white. They told me that it was not available in black. So why display the wrong color?
For under $40 you can't do any better than this. This is my second timex expedition, I lost my first one which ran fine for several years. The dial I easy to read and well lit. Personally I like this particular model for the day/date feature.
So far it's holding up nicely i'm hard on my watches. I put a sports band on it in place of the leather band, They have one that is made for this watch. my only complaint is its not made in the USA.
well worth the money............fine looking watch.
I purchased this watch to replace the exact model I'd worn for several years. On the surface the new watch looks the same, but it isn't!! New watch: the bezel does NOT turn. Nor do any of the newer Timex's in the display case. I often used that feature. The new watch didn't have the ability to change the day. You had to turn the stem through the full 24hr cycle to get the day to change. For me that's a nuisance. I wasn't going to wear a watch that I was disappointed in for the next 5yrs. I returned it!!
I recently purchased this watch online, and so far, I have not been let down. Although leather is classy, I purchased a silicon watch strap because over time leather can smell and fade, but besides the strap, I love the watch. If you like leather, then that shouldn't be a problem. It keeps perfect time, and the indiglo is very bright and can be easily seen and read at night. The only thing I am worried about it that the case material is made from brass, and plated with another metal, so I will probably buy a clear sealant to to spray over the watch and protect it from sweat and the elements. Very good watch, masculine, easy to read, and most importantly, good value. All winners in by book.
It's too early to say how durable the watch is, but I'm completely satisfied after the first week of use. It has the features I want (day, date), plus a bonus in being able to light the face in the dark, at reasonable price.
great watch for daily use, it can show date, day and time. cute looking, I like it.
great watch, easy to read, indiglo works fine. Keeping date up to speed difficult and time consuming.
I bought it because I wanted the rotating bezel for keeping track of time to spend on specific tasks. It turns out this bezel with numbers on it is just ornamental, it does not rotate. I wasted my money on this one.
The Timex Expedition watch was not what it reported to be. The outside dial for timing an event was a fake. The information on the web site and on the instructions said that it rotated, but it did not. I ordered it on-line and I waited 17 days for it to show up at the store and then I found out that it wasn't what it said it was. The wait should have been only about a week. I took it back and went to another store, bought a different brand and model that Wal-Mart didn't stock and walked out the same day.
This watch exhibits the features I was looking for.
The indigo light failed to work about 5 days after purchasing this watch. I did exchange it for another one. I'm hoping this one will work.
I received my watch in a short period of time, everything was as advertised, I love my watch
This is an excellent watch that is reasonably stylish for a great price. The only disappointing thing about this watch is the bezel is strictly show and does not rotate as the older model does. For most people, that is fine as they would never use it, but for those of us that used/use that feature daily, it would be nice to see them come back with a functional rotating bezel. Love the Indiglo! Best $35 watch around!

Retirees picket outside American Airlines HQs over travel benefits
We have dozens of American Airlines retirees picketing outside American's Fort Worth headquarters Wednesday morning as they protest pending reductions in their travel benefits.
(UPDATE: We counted the demonstrators, and twice came up with a total of just over 150.)
Right now, American's retirees can claim available seats on its flights, and have equal status with active employees.
But sometime soon after Labor Day, American intends to implement a new policy that would put retirees below active employees in priority.Under the current policy, an active employee and a retiree that both wanted to fly from Dallas to Los Angeles would have equal claim on the seat. The one who put his or her name on the standby list first (up to 24 hours in advance) would have higher priority than the one who was second on the list. And so on.
After the change, all active employees would have higher priority than all retired employees. As retirees like to point out, the employee who had worked at American six months would have higher priority than the one that had worked there 40 years, but had retired.
Retirees are also unhappy that D-3 "buddy passes" they can hand out to friends and family, are being cut from 24 a year to only eight.
We understand that the number of highest priority passes, the D-1s, will increase beyond American's original plans. But that hasn't been announced yet.
Here are some of the signs carried by picketers along Amon Carter Blvd.:
"What happened to honesty and integrity." "American lied to retirees." "AA Broken Promises." "Equal rights for retirees."
The changes have come in the wake of the US Airways-American Airlines merger of last December.
US Airways' policy was to give non-revenue travelers priority based on seniority, with active employees having higher priority than retired employees.
American's policy was to base one's priority for an available seat on when they signed in, not how years they had worked at American, and to give active and retired employees equal priority.
The new management of American took the "first come, first served" policy of American rather than seniority boarding. It took the US Airways' policy of active first, retired second.
As we're sitting on a water-main cover typing this, retirees keep coming up to explain why they're upset. Common themes: They love American Airlines. They've loved their jobs. They were promised travel benefits equal to that of active employees when they left. American is threatening to break that promise.
An AA spokesman handed me a statement before going off to talk to some retirees. Here's part of it:
"We put a lot of thought into combining the travel privileges of American Airlines and US Airways, knowing we had many different groups to consider and everyone would experience some change.
"With more than 700,000 active employees, retirees and their dependents eligible for free travel, we did our best to create a program that accommodated all stakeholder interests and combined programs from both airlines."

The Guardian reports: Russia has warned North Korea that threats to deliver "preventive nuclear strikes" could create a legal basis for the use of military force against the country, suggesting that even Pyongyang's few remaining friends are growing concerned about its increasingly confrontational stance.
The Russian foreign ministry statement, which follows a North Korean threat to "annihilate" the US and South Korea, also criticises Washington and Seoul for launching the largest joint military drills yet to be held on the peninsula.
"We consider it to be absolutely impermissible to make public statements containing threats to deliver some 'preventive nuclear strikes' against opponents," the Russian foreign ministry said in response to North Korea's threats.
"Pyongyang should be aware of the fact that in this way the DPRK will become fully opposed to the international community and will create international legal grounds for using military force against itself in accordance with the right of a state to self-defense enshrined in the United Nations Charter," continued the statement, translated by Itar Tass news agency.

Russia warns North Korea over threats of nuclear strike
Flipping the script: Could peace talks help defuse North Korea?
The Associated Press reports: The new U.N. sanctions on North Korea are out and they are going to pinch Pyongyang hard. But they also beg a big question — since sanctions thus far have failed to persuade North Korea to roll over and give up its nukes, are more, but tougher, ones really the most effective way to bring the North out of its hardened Cold War bunker?
Is it time to flip the script?
China, a key broker in the North Korea denuclearization puzzle, thinks so. It wants the U.S. and North Korea to sit down for peace talks to formally end the Korean War. That idea has always been a non-starter in Washington, which insists the North must give up its nuclear ambitions first, but some U.S. experts also think it might be a viable path forward.
For sure, advocates of sitting down with a nuclear-armed North Korea are the minority camp in the United States. And even those who do support the idea generally agree sanctions can be a useful tool in pushing negotiations forward, if there is a coherent and internationally coordinated follow-up plan on where those negotiations should go.
But sanctions can also backfire, pushing an insecure and threatened regime into a more defiant, and potentially more dangerous, direction.
Pyongyang gave a hint at that possibility Friday in its first official response to the sanctions, saying the measures were an "outrageous provocation" that it "categorically rejects." North Korea threatened to carry out countermeasures against the U.S. and other countries that supported the sanctions.
While such threats usually amount to nothing, the U.N.'s efforts to change the North's behavior through sanctions haven't amounted to much, either. [Continue reading…]
North Korea's Kim Jong-un tells military to have nuclear warheads on standby
The New York Times reports: The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has urged his military to have its nuclear warheads deployed and ready to be fired at any moment, the country's state-run news agency reported Friday.
Mr. Kim's comments were reported a day after the United Nations Security Council approved tougher sanctions aimed at curtailing his country's ability to secure funds and technology for its nuclear weapons and ballistic-missile programs.
The North's official Korean Central News Agency called the resolution unanimously adopted by the Council "unprecedented and gangster-like," and it quoted Mr. Kim as repeating his exhortation to his military to further advance its nuclear and missile capabilities.
"The only way for defending the sovereignty of our nation and its right to existence under the present extreme situation is to bolster up nuclear force, both in quality and quantity, and keep balance of forces," Mr. Kim was quoted as saying.
He then stressed "the need to get the nuclear warheads deployed for national defense always on standby so as to be fired any moment," the agency said. [Continue reading…]
How to tell the difference between a nuclear test and an earthquake
Patrick Tucker writes: Shortly after North Korea claimed it had tested a hydrogen bomb—a weapon potentially hundreds of times more powerful than the fission bombs the country had already set off—seismologists at the United States Geological Survey, or USGS, went to work trying to understand the event. Their early findings suggest that a nuclear-bomb test did occur but that it wasn't a hydrogen bomb. So how do you tell the difference?
First, you try to rule out the possibility that North Korea was just trying to claim credit for an earthquake. Geologists and seismologists look at several factors to determine whether a seismic event is natural or manmade. One is the location: Is it on a known fault line, a place where there's a lot of mining activity, etc.? Another factor is the seismological waveform itself—the waving lines that appear on the seismograph. An explosion forms wiggles that are different from the ones generated by an earthquake, according to USGS seismologist Paul Earle.
Lay a Slinky on the floor, grab one end, and move it back and forth to create a wave that propagates down its length. This is called shear wave propagation, the kind created by tectonic plates slipping beneath the surface of the earth. "That side-to-side motion, you'll get less of it in an explosion," said Earle. [Continue reading…]
What's the significance of North Korea's latest nuclear test?
North Korea claims to have successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen nuclear device which, if this indeed happened, would mark a major advance in its weapons program. The announcement is being viewed with some skepticism.
Reuters reports: South Korean intelligence officials and several analysts, however, questioned whether Wednesday's explosion was indeed a full-fledged test of a hydrogen device.
The device had a yield of about 6 kilotons, according to the office of a South Korean lawmaker on the parliamentary intelligence committee – roughly the same size as the North's last test, which was equivalent to 6-7 kilotons of TNT.
"Given the scale, it is hard to believe this is a real hydrogen bomb," said Yang Uk, a senior research fellow at the Korea Defence and Security Forum.
"They could have tested some middle stage kind (of device) between an A-bomb and H-bomb, but unless they come up with any clear evidence, it is difficult to trust their claim."
Joe Cirincione, a nuclear expert who is president of Ploughshares Fund, a global security organization, said North Korea may have mixed a hydrogen isotope in a normal atomic fission bomb.
"Because it is, in fact, hydrogen, they could claim it is a hydrogen bomb," he said. "But it is not a true fusion bomb capable of the massive multi-megaton yields these bombs produce".
The United States Geological Survey reported a 5.1 magnitude quake that South Korea said was 49 km (30 miles) from the Punggye-ri site where the North has conducted nuclear tests in the past.
North Korea's last test of an atomic device, in 2013, also registered at 5.1 on the USGS scale.
The test nevertheless may mark an advance of North Korea's nuclear technology. The claim of miniaturizing, which would allow the device to be adapted as a weapon and placed on a missile, would also pose a new threat to the United States and its regional allies, Japan and South Korea.

Jeffrey Lewis, who teaches a class on the evolution of China's nuclear weapons program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, points out that current assessments of North Korea's technical capabilities should not lead to false assumptions about their aspirations. He writes:
One of the major themes of the early part of China's nuclear program is how committed China was to matching the other nuclear powers in the possession of intercontinental-range ballistic missiles armed with multi-megaton thermonuclear weapons. A lot of Americans had trouble accepting this idea. We thought of China as being too backward to have such aspirations. That was, I argue, precisely why China wanted such weapons: because China's communist leaders had a different vision of China's place in the world and the development of thermonuclear weapons was a way of achieving that vision.
I think something similar is happening with North Korea. We think of the country as impoverished, both in terms of economy and leadership. Well, that's not how the government in North Korea sees itself—and anyone who does, keeps such thoughts to himself. Pyongyang's propaganda apparatus argues—and this is what Kim was saying—that North Korea is a technological powerhouse. The North Korean propaganda line argues that this power is demonstrated by a series of achievements culminating in space launches, nuclear weapons and, yes, even thermonuclear weapons.
So, while a staged thermonuclear weapon is likely more than North Korea can, at the moment, achieve technically, it is a mistake to rule out the aspiration by Pyongyang. An H-bomb might not conveniently fit our perception of North Korea, but perhaps that is Kim's point.
This is today's announcement being made on North Korean state television:
Pentagon used humanitarian NGO as front for espionage
The Intercept reports: On May 10, 2007 in the East Room of the White House, President George W. Bush presided over a ceremony honoring the nation's most accomplished community service leaders. Among those collecting a President's Volunteer Service Award that afternoon was Kay Hiramine, the Colorado-based founder of a multimillion-dollar humanitarian organization.
Hiramine's NGO, Humanitarian International Services Group, or HISG, won special praise from the president for having demonstrated how a private charity could step in quickly in response to a crisis. "In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina," read Hiramine's citation, "HISG's team launched a private sector operation center in Houston that mobilized over 1,500 volunteers into the disaster zone within one month after the hurricane."
But as the evangelical Christian Hiramine crossed the stage to shake hands with President Bush and receive his award, he was hiding a key fact from those in attendance: He was a Pentagon spy whose NGO was funded through a highly classified Defense Department program.
The secret Pentagon program, which dates back to December 2004, continued well into the Obama presidency. It was the brainchild of a senior Defense Department intelligence official of the Bush administration, Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin. Boykin, an evangelical Christian who ran into criticism in 2003 for his statements about Islam, settled on the ruse of the NGO as he was seeking new and unorthodox ways to penetrate North Korea.

North and South Korea stand their ground as deadline looms
Reuters reports: North and South Korea appeared headed toward another clash, as Seoul refused an ultimatum that it halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts by Saturday afternoon or face military action, and North Korea said its troops were on a war footing.
South Korean Vice Defense Minister Baek Seung-joo said on Friday it was likely the North would fire at some of the 11 sites where the loudspeakers are set up on the South's side of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the countries.
Tension escalated on Thursday when North Korea fired four shells into South Korea, according to Seoul, in apparent protest against the broadcasts. The South fired back 29 artillery shells. Pyongyang accused the South of inventing a pretext to fire into the North.
Both sides said there were no casualties or damage in their territory, an indication that the rounds were just warning shots.
"The fact that both sides' shells didn't damage anything means they did not want to spread an armed clash. There is always a chance for war, but that chance is very, very low," said Yang Moo-jin, professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul. [Continue reading…]
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports: A concert in Pyongyang on Wednesday by Laibach, an industrial rock band from Slovenia, was billed as the first live performance by a Western pop act in North Korea. And it left the audience with an eclectic view of just what makes a rock show.
Laibach, which was formed in 1980 in what was then Yugoslavia, is known for embracing fascist imagery in its costumes and videos, but with a wink that signals parody. "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter," members said in an early 1980s interview. [Continue reading…]
Inside the hack of the century
Peter Elkind writes: On Monday, Nov. 3, 2014, a four-man team from Norse Corp., a small "threat-intelligence" firm based in Silicon Valley, arrived early for an 11:30 a.m. meeting on the studio lot of Sony Pictures Entertainment, in the Los Angeles suburb of Culver City. They were scheduled to see Sony's top cybersecurity managers to pitch Norse's services in defending the studio against hackers, who had been plaguing Sony for years.
After a quick security check at the front gate and then proceeding to the George Burns Building on the east side of the Sony lot, the Norse group walked straight into the unlocked first-floor offices of the information security department, marked with a small sign reading info sec. There was no receptionist or security guard to check who they were; in fact, there was no one in sight at all. The room contained cubicles with unattended computers providing access to Sony's international data network.
The visitors found their way to a small sitting area outside the office of Jason Spaltro, Sony's senior vice president for information security, settled in, and waited. Alone. For about 15 minutes.
"I got a little shocked," says Tommy Stiansen, Norse's co-founder and chief technology officer. "Their Info Sec was empty, and all their screens were logged in. Basically the janitor can walk straight into their Info Sec department." Adds Mickey Shapiro, a veteran entertainment attorney who helped set up the meeting and was present that day: "If we were bad guys, we could have done something horrible."
Finally Spaltro, who's worked at Sony since 1998, showed up and led them to a nearby conference room, where another studio information security executive was waiting. The meeting began, and as Stiansen described how Norse scopes out potential threats, Spaltro interrupted: "Boy, that could really help us with that North Korean film!" According to the four Norse representatives, Spaltro explained that he was worried about a Seth Rogen comedy called The Interview that the studio was preparing to release on Christmas Day. It featured a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the country's actual leader. Recalls Stiansen: "They said North Korea is threatening them." (Sony denies any mention of a North Korean cyberthreat.)
After about an hour the Sony team declared the session "very productive," according to the Norse team, and promised to be in touch. They departed, leaving the visitors to find their own way out.
Three weeks later — starting at about 7 a.m. Pacific time on Monday, Nov. 24 — a crushing cyberattack was launched on Sony Pictures. Employees logging on to its network were met with the sound of gunfire, scrolling threats, and the menacing image of a fiery skeleton looming over the tiny zombified heads of the studio's top two executives.
Before Sony's IT staff could pull the plug, the hackers' malware had leaped from machine to machine throughout the lot and across continents, wiping out half of Sony's global network. It erased everything stored on 3,262 of the company's 6,797 personal computers and 837 of its 1,555 servers. To make sure nothing could be recovered, the attackers had even added a little extra poison: a special deleting algorithm that overwrote the data seven different ways. When that was done, the code zapped each computer's startup software, rendering the machines brain-dead.
From the moment the malware was launched — months after the hackers first broke in — it took just one hour to throw Sony Pictures back into the era of the Betamax. The studio was reduced to using fax machines, communicating through posted messages, and paying its 7,000 employees with paper checks.
That was only the beginning of Sony's horror story. [Continue reading…]
U.S. tried Stuxnet-style campaign against North Korea but failed
Reuters reports: The United States tried to deploy a version of the Stuxnet computer virus to attack North Korea's nuclear weapons program five years ago but ultimately failed, according to people familiar with the covert campaign.
The operation began in tandem with the now-famous Stuxnet attack that sabotaged Iran's nuclear program in 2009 and 2010 by destroying a thousand or more centrifuges that were enriching uranium. Reuters and others have reported that the Iran attack was a joint effort by U.S. and Israeli forces.
According to one U.S. intelligence source, Stuxnet's developers produced a related virus that would be activated when it encountered Korean-language settings on an infected machine.
But U.S. agents could not access the core machines that ran Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program, said another source, a former high-ranking intelligence official who was briefed on the program. [Continue reading…]
North Korea executes defense chief on treason charges: report
Reuters: North Korea has executed its defense chief on treason charges by putting him in front of an anti-aircraft gun at a firing range, Seoul's National Intelligence Service (NIS) told lawmakers.
Hyon Yong Chol, 66, who headed the isolated country's military, was purged late last month for disobeying Kim Jong Un and falling asleep during a meeting at which North Korea's young leader was present, according to South Korean lawmakers briefed in a closed-door meeting with the spy agency on Wednesday.
His execution, the latest of a series of high-level purges since Kim took power in 2011, was watched by hundreds of people, they said.
North Korean defectors are crucial — but sometimes unreliable — witnesses
Anna Fifield writes: Always get a second source. It's one of the fundamental rules of journalism.
But what do you do if the first source is an escapee from one of the most brutal prison camps on the planet, a camp so brutal that only one person is known to have escaped from it?
That was the conundrum facing Blaine Harden, the former Washington Post journalist who wrote Escape from Camp 14 about Shin Dong-hyuk, who said he was born in the North Korean total control camp, forced to watch his mother and brother be executed there, tortured there, and eventually escaped.
Now, Shin has admitted that he left out some key parts of the story – like the fact that he spent most of his childhood across the Taedong river in Camp 18, a less draconian prison (although in North Korea, that's a matter of degree). But, he says, the torture he described to Harden all happened, just in a different place and at a different time. [Continue reading…]
NSA on and off the trail of the Sony hackers
After cybersleuth Barack Obama saw the evidence pointing at North Korea's responsibility for the cyberattacks against Sony, "he had no doubt," the New York Times melodramatically reports.
He had no doubt about what? That his intelligence analysts knew what they were talking about? Or that he too when presented with the same evidence was forced to reach the same conclusion?
I have no doubt that had Obama been told by those same advisers that North Korea was not behind the attacks, he would have accepted that conclusion. In other words, on matters about which he lacks the expertise to reach any conclusion, he relies on the expertise of others.
A journalist who tells us about the president having "no doubt" in such as situation is merely dressing up his narrative with some Hollywood-style commander-in-chief gravitas.
When one of the reporters in this case, David Sanger, is someone whose cozy ties to government extend to being "an old friend of many, many years" of Ashton Carter, whose nomination as the next Secretary of Defense is almost certain to be approved, you have to wonder whose interests he really serves. Those of his readership or those of the government?
Since Obama and the FBI went out on a limb by asserting that they had no doubt about North Korea's role in the attacks, they have been under considerable pressure to provide some compelling evidence to back up their claim.
That evidence now comes courtesy of anonymous officials briefing the New York Times and another document from the Snowden trove of NSA documents.
Maybe the evidence really is conclusive, but there are still important unanswered questions.
For instance, as Arik Hesseldahl asks:
why, if the NSA had so fully penetrated North Korea's cyber operations, did it not warn Sony that an attack of this magnitude was underway, one that apparently began as early as September.
Officials with the NSA and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the report. A Sony spokeswoman had no comment.
On the one hand we're being told that the U.S. knew exactly who was behind the Sony attacks because the hackers were under close surveillance by the NSA, and yet at the same time we're being told that although the NSA was watching the hackers it didn't figure out what they were doing.
If Hollywood everyone decides to create a satire out of this, they'll need to come up with a modern-day reworking of the kind of scene that would come straight out of Get Smart — the kind where Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, would be eavesdropping on conversation between his North Korean counterparts, the only problem being, that he doesn't understand Korean.
The Times report refers to the North Korean hackers using an "attack base" in Shenyang, in north east China. This has been widely reported with the somewhat less cyber-sexy name of the Chilbosan Hotel whose use for these purposes has been known since 2004.
If the attackers wanted to avoid detection, it's hard to understand why they would have operated out of a location that had been known about for that long and that could so easily be linked to North Korea.
It's also hard to fathom that having developed its cyberattack capabilities over such an extended period, North Korea would want to risk so much just to try and prevent the release of The Interview.
Michael Daly claims that the regime "recognizes that Hollywood and American popular culture in general constitute a dire threat" — a threat that has apparently penetrated the Hermit Kingdom in the "especially popular" form of Desperate Housewives.
Daly goes on to assert:
a glimpse of Wisteria Lane is enough to give lie to the regime's propaganda that North Koreans live in a worker's paradise while its enemies suffer in grinding poverty, driven by envy to plot against Dear Leader.
Of course, as every American who has watched the show knows, Wisteria Lane represents anytown America and the cast could blend in unnoticed at any Walmart or shopping mall.
OK. I won't deny that American propaganda is much more sophisticated than North Korea's, but when an American journalist implies that Desperate Housewives offers ordinary North Koreans a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans, you have to ask: which population has been more perfectly been brainwashed?
In reality, the dire threat to the North Korean regime in terms of social impact comes not from American popular culture but from much closer: South Korean soap operas.

1) YOU were not the tenant
2) you moved from Texas to Florida with your 21 year old son and your pregnant 26 year old daughter to live with my tenant whom you recently met on the internet.
In the eight months you, your son and daughter never had a job for more that a few weeks(total) in addition, you stayed home all day, smoked and played video games instead of finding gainful employment or cleaning your home. In fact, the evicting Sheriff's deputy admonished you in my presence that shame on you to have a 3-month child in the home under those filthy conditions.
There were occasions when we did accept partial payments from my tenant but then they stopped completely.
The proceedures for eviction gave the tenant every opportunity to bring the rent current and avoid eviction, which he did not do and therefore the Court granted me possession after reviewing all the facts and handing down their judgment. It was not me who evicted you, but Broward County Court.
While I symathize with your downfall, that does not entitle you to live in my property without paying the rent. We all have to suffer the logical consequenses of our poor decisions.
The real ripoff is your attempt to move in with someone, import your unemployed lazy family as well, and think that you can live in a house, damage it extensively and NOT PAY THE RENT and attempt to SLANDER MY GOOD NAME.

Besides bringing beauty to our library grounds, volunteer gardeners teach us how to plant and nurture our own gardens. Sometimes they share their bounty! Join the Master Gardeners at the Porter Branch on Monday, September 21, from 9:00 until they run out of fun, as they teach you how to dig and divide in the flower beds. They'll be giving out out free starter lilies and iris. Bring gloves, or just get dirty with us!
I've gardened for years, both flowers and vegetables, and am a Master Gardener. My passion, though, is selecting, growing, and enjoying cultivated daylilies. Daylilies (hemerocallis lilioasphodelus, Greek for 'beauty for a day') are so named as each bloom lasts one day, yet the plants may be loaded with blooms, opening over several days, if not a couple of weeks. Daylilies come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They generally range from about 12" to 46" tall and have blooms from about 2" to 8" across! Colors include cream, pink, peach, wine, almost black, red, orange, yellow, and variations and combinations of those colors.
Scented geraniums' modest flowers are almost invisible among the big blossoms of their flamboyant cousins...but their fragrant leaves made them the secret stars of Victorian Valentine bouquets.

Woodland Shawl KAL- Starts July 6!
I'm going to be knitting this shawl: Woodland Shawl in a couple of weeks (when the yarn I ordered comes in). Is anyone interested in knitting along with me?
I think this is a great shawl for beginning lace knitters. The pattern seems fairly simple and it only takes 460 yds. If you knit it in Knit Picks Palette then it's very cheap too...bonus :happydance: !!! The yarn runs from $1.59-$2.19, so $4.77-$6.57 to knit this shawl. Each ball is 231 yds., so I figured 3 to be safe.
I'm going to knit mine in Autumn Heather.
Here are some links if you're interested in checking it out:
Ravelry page, 966 projects
Pattern page
Is anyone interested in learning lace with me!?!:)
I followed the Ravelry link and found it is already saved to my favorites. :) This is something I'd like to do, but I can't commit to joining right now.
I'll probably follow along to get some guidance for when I knit it later! :thumbsup:
I'd do itwith you but I made one earlier this year; great pattern & I can't wait to see yours!
My yarn came in sooner than I expected so I'm hoping to start this pretty soon. I'm going to try to finish the socks I'm working on first.
How does the yarn feel? The pattern is Lovely
I have not knit a swatch with it yet to see how it feels while knitting, but I think I will like it just fine. My only concern right now is if it will be splitty, as it looks like two strands twisted together rather loosely.
Hi Lieuvena! Let me know when you're ready to start and I will try to do this with you! I made a couple of lace bookmarks in May, and I loved doing lace! I've never tried anything big but this shawl is so pretty. I'm not sure what yarn I'll use yet. I may check my LYS tonight... Any idea how long it might take?
I've never done anything this big either, but I think it looks like a rather simple pattern. I've only knit a lace headband and a small doily, so this is an adventure for me!
Thanks again for joining along!
I would like to do it too. But I do have to finish a lovely pair of socks for Vintage Purls sock club, a baby blanket for my neighbours daughter, a sleeveless vest for me, make and decorate a 21st birthday cake for the same daughter, nuno felt the back of a vest we are doing at Spinning and Weaving group and make it etc.
But I have printed it off, and have been looking at yarn, but, what the heck, it does look so nice!
