D300s (et.al) Memory cards
Most of the discussions I find when searching on this topic are from several years ago. Maybe we can have an updated thread? The latest firmware upgrade (1.01) for the D300s allows 64GB flash cards.
So, what's the latest thinking on flash cards and SD cards? Speeds? Capacity? Both?

Hi Larry,
I have used Sandisk 32GB 60MB/sec. CF cards in my D300 though they don,t seem to clear the buffer much faster than my Sandisk 8GB 45MB/sec. cards. The Sandisk 8GB/45MB/sec. cards clear the buffer much faster than my Sandisk 8GB and 4GB/30MB/sec. CF cards.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

The latest generation SD cards have significantly increased in speed, but still lag far behind Compact Flash cards.
Top rate CF is capable of write speeds of 90 + Mb/s BUT the D300s is only capable of writing about 30 - 32 Mb/s so there is no real advantage in paying for a much faster card, except that when transfering via a card reader to your computer, the faster read speed is an advantage.
Regarding size, I stick to max 8Gb cards. This gives me bout 400 images per and reduces the loss if one goes "bad" (I have had 2 Transcend CF cards do that over the years and am stopping using that brand for that reason). Additionally I am set up to write all to both cards so I have an immediate backup, it does slow things down a bit, but I feel safer doing it like that.
Each to his own though!

Based on testing by Rob Galbraith, the fastest CF cards are nearly 50% faster than the fastest SD cards. I had to look at the D800 stats to find comparable test results, but it should be applicable to the D300s.
I find 8GB cards are generally big enough to handle a day of shooting, but I prefer a 16 GB card for a little more room. It strikes a nice balance between price and having enough space for a day of shooting. I don't see a lot of need to go larger on the D300s.
I also have a D800E and a D600. On the D800E with the larger file size I use a 32GB CF card - and it's plenty. I have a 32 GB SD card as backup on my D800E, but just use 16 GB SD cards on my D600 and V1. If you are shooting video, you can burn through a large card in a relatively short time so large cards are much more important.
The vast majority of card problems are related to user error. There are some problems with counterfeits, but lost cards, damaged cards, download mistakes, etc are by far the more frequent problems. A single large card - but not too large - reduces that risk but increases the loss if there is a mistake. I don't place a lot of weight on this issue since it is so unlikely and instead emphasize a balance between speed and price by buying one level behind the fastest card and a size below the largest card.

Consider choosing a size so that there is no need to remove the cards from the camera. In my experience, other than incompatibility issues, most card failures are due to inserting and removing cards. While I've never had a CF card fail, I have experienced multiple SD card failures from the major brands, especially physical failures of the cards splitting open and one even split in half.
IMHO, if a camera requires SD cards, that reduces the camera to toy status. Since I'm very pleased with the results of the Fuji X10, it has a 32GB card that I never remove and even with bracketing, it got me through a 3 week trip with room to spare.
Also with no need to remove the cards, there is no risk of losing a card full of images. I used to follow the suggestion above considering the use of smaller cards but since I've stopped removing the cards, that has become moot.
As I normally use 5 exposure bracketing, this means 16GB cards provide a nice margin for a day's shooting before downloading to the computer. If traveling, they are downloaded to a laptop and uploaded to SkyDrive.
And I do write the same images to both cards for backup though in almost 10 years, I've never lost an image on a CF card, even the highly maligned Kingston cards which I find to be reliable but slow. SD, now that is another story.
Regarding compatibility, just my experience, I've never had a problem with any of the major brand CF cards. The CF electrical standard is tight and well adhered to by both card and camera manufacturers. The speed standards not so much with Kingston cards rarely performing faster than half their rated speed and often much slower.
SD cards are another story. It is a sloppy standard and incompatibility is common. Don't assume your favorite brand-X card which works perfectly in your current gear will work in your next camera. No matter the brand, extensively test any new card. My first test is to format, fill and erase the card several times on a computer and then do the same a couple times on the camera. For each filling of the card on the camera, copy all the images to the computer and randomly examine them; especially those at the beginning and end.
Your mileage will vary.

I'm not sure, reading this if you meant actually losing the card, or having it corrupt and lose the images?
I was talking about corrupted cards that, in one case would not format after transfering the images and the other, failing to allow any of the images on it to be read.
As I mentioned, I always set up to write to both cards, so at least that days shooting was not lost!
#6. "RE: D300s (et.al) Memory cards" | In response to Reply # 5Fri 01-Mar-13 11:06 PM
I meant losing the card and not corruption. Unless a card was defective when new or split (I guess this is a kind of data corruption - only SD cards) I've never lost images due to corruption.

I agree with Bill and Eric, in that user error associated with managing multiple cards is probably a more likely "failure" than a good brand name CF card outright failing. Anything is possible of course.
I've used over a dozen mostly Sandisk cards for almost 9 years now and never lost an image or had a card fail. Maybe just lucky.
I always use a card reader although I suspect using a USB cable is "safer" to the extent that it eliminates the potentially expensive problem of bent CF card pins in the camera. I've never bent a pin but I've read more than a few stories here. Probably "user error" but it happens.
Repeated inserts of a USB cable could similarly stress the camera USB port, which is also an expensive repair. But that port is arguably less critical than the CF pins (??). Lots of ways to call that.
I recently bought a 16GB card because periodically I was using well over a half dozen cards in a single day, and I did not like managing that even though I have a system. I otherwise have 8x4GB cards and 4x8GB cards. So I still use multiple cards for a few regular shoots a year but I like the fact that a single 16GB card gets me through most daily shoots. That with 12mpx cameras.
Interesting discussion re SD card reliability. That is an important consideration with the new Nikon "paradigm" that is more or less forcing many to SD cards.

Very good points and potential damage to the the camera's USB port concerns me as well. I did have pin failure on a Fuji S2 Pro so I'm probably unreasonably shy of that problem.
The CF card manufacturers could easily prevent that problem by using a slightly larger pin opening that tapers down to the specified diameter where the pins engage the contact points in the card. Such a simple idea, perhaps the better companies already do that.
I've used a couple dozen CF cards since my first 64MB (yes meg, not gig) and never had an error of any type. Whereas with SD cards, two were bad from new (one each SanDisk and Kingston), one split open (SanDisk) and another broke in half (Crucial).
If I can save enough coin, my next (and probably last) body will be a mint D3S, but that's another story.
#9. "RE: D300s (et.al) Memory cards" | In response to Reply # 0
I use Lexar Professional. I've never had an issue with their quality, and they are one of the few that owns their own chip production, etc.
Add to that the fact that whether I've called, chatted or e-mailed I've always gotten a polite, expert people based here in the US. I've contacted them to do some research on a blog and because I managed to damage two SD cards while putting them in hard plastic cases I used to carry them around in (basically broke the write-protect tab off both cards - didn't realize how until the second one). I told them straight up what had happened - I was mainly calling to recommend some kind of warning in their flier that comes with the cards. They asked me to send the cards in, and replaced them (I don't use those cases any more). I was pretty happy.
I use the Lexar Pro 1000X CF and Lexar Pro 600X SD, mainly so I can pull photos off the cards as quickly as possible. The SD card probably more than saturates the performance of the camera to clear the buffer, but it it nice and slightly noticeable improvement in that area (though I don't shoot at 7 FPS often)

With all the bad news about coal mining lately, managers at one local coal company say they have some good news to share.
MSHA officials say the nation's safest coal processing plant is right here in eastern Kentucky.
WYMT's Angela Sparkman visited the Premier Elkhorn Coal Plant to learn how they recorded the country's best safety record.
Knowing the job hazards, workers at Premier Elkhorn's Coal Burke Branch Tipple still enjoy coming to work each day.
Last year, the 79 workers recorded 151-thousand 970 hours without an accident.
MSHA noticed and said it was the best 2006 safety record at a coal prep plant in the entire country.
They received the Nation's top Sentinel Safety Award.
Coal officials say it isn't easy with all the welding, cutting, hammering, and climbing.
Trophies aside, workers say the only reward that matters is,
The traveling trophy also has a history.
It was created by an Italian sculptor in the 1920s and stays at each winning plant for a year before it's passed to the next winning coal plant.


text: Hey y'all, So, a few friends and I have really gone pretty far down the beer snob road, but not so much that we care how the hell many fingers of head are present after a pour. But we might want to get there. We just had a fairly ridiculous tasting the other night (Heady Topper, BCBS, Older Viscosity, and about 12 of their friends), but it just seemed like a waste after a while. I usually love Gandhi-Bot, but it was just kind of eh after some of these other things. So, if you could opine: Should we stick to one basic style? Should we go from lowest ABV to highest? Seriously, any opinions would be welcome. Thanks!

ISEP Ambassador Program: Building on Your Experience of a Lifetime
Studying abroad can be a transformative experience for launching your career, but it's up to you to demonstrate the relevance of your global skills to future employers. The ISEP Ambassador Program provides a structured opportunity to promote international education on your campus while demonstrating transferable career skills essential for building your résumé. ISEP Ambassadors serve in a variety of ways to help recruit study abroad participants and welcome international students to your culture. By documenting your activities as an ISEP Ambassador,
you can create a strong career portfolio that demonstrates professional marketability in a wide variety of fields.
The ISEP Ambassador Program is a selective, semester-long program that, at this time, is open to U.S. students who have recently participated in an ISEP program abroad. The Program requires your enthusiastic commitment through participation in social media and on-campus activities in agreement with your home ISEP Coordinator. Additionally, all Ambassadors are expected to engage with other Ambassadors from across the country and with ISEP Central staff through regular virtual meetups and interaction over an online platform. Ambassadors also agree to make their email address available to others who may be interested in learning about their experience and host site .
Benefits of the ISEP Ambassador Program
Professional development: Each core component of the ISEP Ambassador Program focuses on a separate area in which you can demonstrate initiative and professional skills for your résumé. The 'Tips to Get Started' include several ideas for activities you can organize to promote international education on your campus. Your record of your activities throughout the semester is a great resource toward building your career portfolio for job interviews. At the end of the program, your home ISEP Coordinator or ISEP Team Leader may be able to provide a letter of recommendation based on your performance.
Personal development: Studying abroad is often a life-changing experience. Not only have you been immersed in another culture, and possibly another language, but you've most likely also learned a great deal about yourself. By reflecting on what you gained abroad and sharing this with others, you can maximize your personal development and make a difference in the lives of other students worldwide.
How to apply
1. Complete Online-Application
- You can apply here to the Spring 2015 ISEP Ambassador Program.
- You must include your ISEP Coordinator's email address to apply.
- Selected Ambassadors will be notified before beginning their term.
2. Receive Approval from Your ISEP Coordinator at Your Home Institution
- You must receive approval from your ISEP Coordinator at your home institution. (Your home institution is the university or college you returned home to after your time abroad).
Just like you, I returned from studying abroad so excited to share my international experiences with students from my home campus. In fact, many of the things I did as a study abroad ambassador—speaking at freshmen orientation seminars, writing articles for my school newspaper, and organizing a campus-wide celebration for International Education Week— provided the first steps toward launching my career in international education. Because I know firsthand the impact this role can play in developing your résumé and professional skills, I want to personally encourage you to make the most of your opportunity as an ISEP Ambassador.

Abroad in a Chastened World
By ANDREA LEE
Published: December 28, 2003
WHATEVER possessed me last summer to take my children to three places damaged by violent acts of man or God? Bali. Madagascar. Hong Kong. Peerlessly beautiful places that have been the scenes of, respectively, terrorist atrocity, civil strife and pestilence. It was not, as one cynical friend suggested, morbid curiosity or an unnatural taste for risk. Nor was it the desire to demonstrate solidarity for three places that, in fact, are old friends to our relentlessly peripatetic family. (We live in Italy, spend summers in Africa and often travel to Asia. No, I'm afraid the whole thing was done on impulse, inspired by the appearance of super bargain fares from airlines like Cathay Pacific and Thai, right about the time school let out.
That and the fact that my children -- 8-year-old Charles and 17-year-old Alexandra -- were agog to go. We've all developed reasonable instincts about whether a place will be safe, and our instincts in this case, after travel warnings had been lifted, rested heavily on the lightning-never-strikes-twice theory.
So in June we were off for Hong Kong, just then emerging from the SARS epidemic; then to Bali, adrift in the aftermath of the bombing the previous October. In early July we spent two weeks on the island of Nosy Be in Madagascar, returning there for the first time since the contested presidential election of 2001 set off nationwide rioting. We returned home from our trips not only safe and sound but also profoundly moved by the warmth of our welcome and the courage of our hosts. As always, I was grateful to my kids for inspiring me to insights I would not have had alone.
On our third afternoon in Hong Kong, I heard Charlie shout: ''It's like a war just ended!'' He shouted because we were in a crowd where everyone else was cheering madly. He'd dragged me out to his favorite mall, Kowloon's Ocean Center, to buy the newest Lego Bionicle, in what by coincidence was precisely the hour when Hong Kong was dropped from the World Health Organization's epidemic list, and SARS was officially vanquished. Out of thin air suddenly materialized a jubilant crowd -- officials popped champagne bottles, dragon dancers swirled red and gold, and beaming Chinese patted Charlie on the back as a representative of the tourists who would surely return.
Earlier we had been impressed by the efficiency of a public health campaign that had uniformed workers taking temperatures at the airport. We had witnessed the elegant stoicism of staff members at our favorite hotel, the Peninsula, where the few guests got service that was as superb as ever, where Charlie swam solo in the marble pool and played in empty elevators like Eloise at the Ritz. And we saw the gritty commercial spirit of Hong Kong emerge in the shopping streets where every sales clerk was full of redoubled cheerful aggressiveness. My kids, veteran hagglers, were startled by the markdowns. ''We are bargaining for our lives,'' one vendor told Charlie.
At Kuta, in Bali, Alexandra was pursued down the street by a woman who wanted to paint blue daisies on her fingernails. We were staying at the Nusa Dua Grand Hyatt, where the tropical gardens and the lagoon pools were empty of all but a few Indian and Taiwanese families; we had spent a couple of days touring the island to find the giant waves at Uluwatu bare of surfers, and the sumptuous Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton resorts, with their airy pavilion restaurants and flower-filled spas, lying asleep and unvisited like princesses in a fairy tale. Alex, though warned that Kuta was tragically changed, had wanted to revisit this beach that had been one of her favorite hangouts. ''Please!'' the manicurist begged.
One day Alex and I both found ourselves near tears when we were confronted on a side street by a dark cluster of boarded-up structures: the area around the bombed club where 200 people died. A thick sadness hung over the area. ''It's still in the air, isn't it?'' whispered Alex, and we agreed that in a place like Bali, where ceremony and spirituality are paramount, the scar of violence would not easily fade.
''Pas de touristes et pas d'argent!'' said a Malagasy woman on the beach near our vacation house in Nosy Be. She was vainly trying to sell Charlie a rare tortoise brought in illegally from the province of Tulear. She had formerly eked out a living selling cutwork embroidery and giving beach massages to a modest but steady flow of French, Italian and South African tourists who came to Nosy Be for sun and the superb diving.
Then two years ago, a contested presidential election led to violent clashes between political opponents in the streets of the Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, and the bloodshed spread even to this tranquil island covered with sugar cane and ylang-ylang trees. Now peace has returned, and the tourists -- like us -- have started to trickle back, but not fast enough for the local residents, who had come to depend on them. The government-owned sugar company has not paid its workers for 10 months and is letting the plantations go to seed.

Hi there, this would be the author speaking. This is the last chapter. And while I quite like the ending I've given this fic, you might not. As you may have noticed, the last chapter ended very cheerfully. Well, what I'm saying is if you'd rather leave it on a happy note, feel free to accept that as the ending. Not that this chapter is too bad; no-one dies or anything. XD Well.. don't feel you have to scroll down, mmkay..?
A Bonus
Mello regretted at once having to wake up. Some days he could handle it quite comfortably, but today was not going to be pleasant. He groaned as he pulled himself into a sitting position and ran a hand clumsily through his hair.
"Good morning." Mello turned to see an outstretched hand offering him a glass of water. He took it and placed it on the nightstand before shifting to the side to let them get back into the bed.
"Good is pushing it," he muttered. The boy beside him laughed politely. Mello glanced at him. "I'm sorry about this, Near."
"You always are. After it's too late for 'sorry' to matter." Near sighed. Mello frowned. He looked at him; Near had put on a fresh set of clothes already.
"You say 'always' as if we do this a lot. It's only happened twice." Near rolled his eyes. He reached across Mello to take the glass of water and sipped from it.
"It's been two months, Mello. It is a lot."
In the two months since Mello had decided he wanted to be with Matt, they had had three fights. The first had been very minor; a spat. It had been resolved within twenty minutes. Neither of them had found it at all worrying. Until the second.
Mello had arrived at Matt's flat later than they'd agreed upon. He had explained that he'd been held up at work, and Matt, stupidly, had made a snide remark under his breath. Unfortunately for him; Mello had heard it.
They'd spent almost an hour arguing; during which time Matt had accused Mello of only wanting to live with Near still because he hadn't wanted to make a real decision. Shortly after that, Mello had stomped out.
When Near had heard their front door slam, he was confused. Mello was supposed to be out all night; a thought he'd been somewhat ignoring. Despite what Mello had said about him probably not being in love with him, and his accurate portrayal of what their life would have been like, Near had not settled happily into the new routine.
He'd ventured out of his room and down the stairs in time to see Mello march into his bedroom. Reluctantly, he had gone over and knocked on the door. Mello had told him he could come in. When he did, he saw that Mello was lying on his bed with his face buried in a pillow. He hadn't looked his age.
Mello hadn't looked up from the pillow, but had started talking to him anyway. Or whining anyway. He'd told Near about his fight with Matt; concluding by saying that Matt's jealousy was really going to make his life hell. When he'd finished speaking, he pulled his head up and moved into a sitting position. He'd patted the bed beside him to let Near know he was welcome to sit down. As Near had tentatively taken the invitation, he'd asked Mello why he didn't just move in with Matt if it was going to be so difficult for him not to.
Mello had spat back that he didn't want to rearrange his entire life for one relationship. At least, not until he knew if it was going to work out or not. Near had been caught by surprise by that. He had assumed that when Mello had chosen Matt he'd known for sure that they would be happy. Otherwise, what was the point..? He'd dared to ask the question aloud.
Near didn't understand the response he got. Mello had looked at him and told him that it wasn't about certainty; it was about hope and gut instincts. But then again, Near had never understood how people got by on those two things.
After a little while, Mello had sighed. He'd wondered out loud how he'd made one of the biggest decisions of his life for someone who, it seemed, didn't even trust him. Near had shrugged. He'd mentioned that Mello had only just finished telling him that sometimes you just had to do what felt right in the moment. He'd then cuttingly added that you often still had to do that, even if the other option later turned out to be the right one.
Mello had seemingly not heard the last part, as he'd trailed off into thought. Near had been just about to ask him what he was thinking about, when Mello had reached over and kissed him on the lips. Near had quickly drawn away and asked what he was doing. Mello had not replied; instead pulling him back into the kiss. Near had only tried to fight him off for another couple of seconds before resigning himself.
Mello had pressed him down into the sheets and begun to unbutton his shirt before Near once again had the courage to ask him why he was doing so. Mello had stared at him for a second, as if it should be obvious, then told him that, sometimes, you just went with your gut and hoped it was the right decision later. Near had not asked him any more questions.
It was only the next morning, when they had both woken up together and had been forced to clear their minds, that Mello admitted he shouldn't have done it. He'd apologised and quickly kissed Near on the forehead in a sympathetic gesture, before dressing himself and leaving as fast as possible. When he'd come back that evening, he'd quietly promised Near that it would not happen again. Near had correctly assumed that Mello had not told Matt.
It was now the morning after the second fight, and Mello had managed quite spectacularly to break his promise.
Near waited outside the room while Mello guiltily crawled back into his clothes. When he appeared in the doorway, Near turned to look at him with an unapproving expression. Mello sighed.
"I'm not going to do it again. I swear; even if we have a huge fight, I won't let myself."
"Of course not, Mello." Near didn't bother to argue with him. "Are you going to go and see him again, now..?"
"I am," Mello said softly. Near noticed he didn't look at him as he spoke.
"And I take it you won't tell him." He didn't make it a question, and Mello didn't answer. Instead, he reached down and quickly brushed Near's lips with his own then turned to leave.
Near waited until he heard the front door click closed then sighed. There was, he told himself for the second time, no such thing as a perfect decision.
And that's it! I really enjoyed writing this, and my next DN fanfiction is already mapped out in my head. It won't be too lnog until I start submitting it, although I must say it's a little different to my others. XD I just want to say that, whilst writing this, I think I kept Sartre in mind a bit (Existentialism and Humanism). So there we go, heh. For those who aren't avid philosophers; 'the only thing you can't choose is not to choose'. Go figure. :3

I installed wordpress on my Ubuntu system yesterday, and all seems to work fine, but when somebody else try to see the blog, it appears without any kind of style, without CSS and nothing seems to work.
I see things like this on the source code:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url( http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/inove/style.css );</style>
And all links goes to localhost, so I guess there is something wrong on the configuration, but I can't figure what.
Maybe an Apache issue? Or something I shouldn't touch on the WordPress configuration?
Thanks :)

- Confirming all use of an SSH agent [archived]
«For a long time I've wanted an ssh-agent setup that would ask me before every use, so I could slightly more comfortably forward authentication over SSH without worrying that my session might get hijacked somewhere at the remote end (I often find myself wanting to pull authenticated git repos on remote hosts). I'm at DebConf this week, which is an ideal time to dig further into these things, so I did so today. As is often the case it turns out this is already possible, if you know how.»

- ZERO: no linked HIV transmissions [archived]
«The results provide a dataset to question whether transmission with an undetectable viral load is actually possible. They should help normalise HIV and challenge stigma and discrimination.»

Someone once in the UK told me that it was a big enough problem that so many people turn on their electric kettles during the endtitles of Eastenders, that there's an employee in a hydro plant that needs to watch it to ramp up the power at the right time. I've finally found a wikipedia page about it.
- Amazon isn't saying if Echo has been wiretapped [archived]
"We may never know if the feds have hijacked Amazon Echo. … In case you didn't know, Echo is an always-on device, which, when activated, can return search queries, as well as read audiobooks and report sports, traffic, and weather. It can even control smart home devices."
Monthly link collections with staticsite
A year ago, I wrote:
Instead of keeping substantial tabs open until I have read all of them, or losing them in the jungle of browser bookmarks, I have written a script that collects them into a file per month, and turns them into markdown files for my blog.
That script turned out to be quirky and overengineered, so much so that I stopped using it myself.
I've now rethought my approach, and downscaled it: instead of saving a copy of each page locally, I can blog a reference to https://archive.org or https://archive.is. I do not need to autogenerate a description from the site itself.
The result has been a nicely minimal set of changes to staticsite that
resulted in a new version where adding a link to a monthly collection is
as easy as typing
ssite new -a links.
As long as I'll remember to rebuild the site 3 weeks from now, a new post should automagically appear in my blog.eng pdo ssite sw
Verifying gpg keys
Suppose you have a gpg keyid like
9F6C6333 that corresponds to both key
1AE0322EB8F74717BDEABF1D44BB1BA79F6C6333 and
88BB08F633073D7129383EE71EA37A0C9F6C6333, and you don't know which of the two
to use.
You go to http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/ and find out that the site uses short key IDs, so the two keys are indistinguishable.
Building on Clint's hopenpgp-tools,
I made a script that
screenscrapes http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/ for trust paths, downloads all the
potentially connecting keys in a temporary keyring, and runs
hkt findpaths on
$ ./verify-trust-paths 1793D6AB75663E6BF104953A634F4BD1E7AD5568 1AE0322EB8F74717BDEABF1D44BB1BA79F6C6333 hkt (hopenpgp-tools) 0.18 Copyright (C) 2012-2016 Clint Adams hkt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions. (4,[1,4,3,6]) (1,1793D6AB75663E6BF104953A634F4BD1E7AD5568) (3,F8921D3A7404C86E11352215C7197699B29B232A) (4,C331BA3F75FB723B5873785B06EAA066E397832F) (6,1AE0322EB8F74717BDEABF1D44BB1BA79F6C6333) $ ./verify-trust-paths 1793D6AB75663E6BF104953A634F4BD1E7AD5568 88BB08F633073D7129383EE71EA37A0C9F6C6333 hkt (hopenpgp-tools) 0.18 Copyright (C) 2012-2016 Clint Adams hkt comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions. (0,[])
This is a start: it could look in the local keyring for all ultimately trusted key finegrprints and use those as starting points. It could just take as an argument a short keyid and automatically check all matching fingerprints.
I'm currently quite busy with https://nm.debian.org and at the moment verify-trust-paths scratches enough of my itch that I can move on with my other things.
Please send patches, or take it over: I'd like to see this grow.debian eng pdo sw
On discomfort and new groups
When you get involved in a new community, such as Debian, find out early where, if that happens, you can find support, understanding, and help to make it stop.
Last night I asked a group of friends what do they do if they start feeling uncomfortable when they are alone in a group of people they don't know. Here are the replies:
- Wait outside the group until I figure the group out.
- Find someone to talk for a while until you get comfortable.
- If a person is making things uncomfortable for you, let them know, and leave if nobody cares.
- Sit there in silence.
- Work around unwelcome people by bearing them for a bit while trying to integrate with others.
- Some people are easy to bribe into friendship, just bring cake.
- While you don't know what is going on, you try to replicate what others are doing.
- Spend time trying to get a feeling of what are the consequences of taking actions.
- Purposefully disagree with people in a new environment to figure out if having a different opinion is accepted.
- Once I was new and I was asked to be the person that invites everyone for lunch, that forced me to talk to everyone, and integrate.
- When you are the first one to point something out, you'll probably soon find out you're not alone.
- The reaction on the first time something is exposed, influences how often similar cases will be reported.
I think a lot of these point are good food for thought about barriers of entry, and about safety nets that a group has or might want to have.debian eng pdo
You'll thank me later
I agree with this post by Matthew Garrett.
I am quite convinced that most of the communities that I have known are vulnerable to people who are good manipulators of people.
Also, in my experience, manipulation by negating, pushing, or reframing the boundaries of people tends not to be recognised as manipulation, let alone abusive behaviour.
It's not about physically forcing people to do things that they don't want to do. It's about pushing people, again and again, wearing them out, making them feel like, despite their actual needs and wants, saying "yes" to you is the only viable way out.
It can happen for sex, and it can happen for getting a patch merged. It can happen out of habit. It can happen for pretty much anything.
Consent culture was not part of my education, and it was something I've had to discover for myself. I assume that to be a common experience, and that pushing against boundaries does happen, even without malicious intentions, on a regular basis.
However, it is not ok.
Take insisting. It is not the same as persisting. Persisting is what I do when I advocate for change. Persisting is what I do when the first version of my code segfaults. Insisting is what I do when a person says "no" to me and I don't want to accept it.
Is it ok to insist that a friend, whom you think is sick, goes and gets help?
Is it ok to insist that a friend, whom you think is sexually repressed, pushes through their boundaries to explore their sexuality with you?
In both cases, one may say, or think, trust me, you'll thank me afterwards. In both cases, what if afterwards I have nothing to thank you for?
I see a common pattern in you'll thank me afterwards situations. It can be in good faith, it can be creepy, it can be abusive, and most of the time, what it is, is dangerously unclear to most of the people involved.
I think that in a community like Debian, at the level of personal interaction, Insisting is not ok.
I think that in a community like Debian, at the level of personal interaction, "You'll thank me afterwards" is not ok.
When I say it's not ok I mean that it should not happen. If it happens, people must be free to say "stop". If it doesn't stop, people must expect to be able to easily find support, understanding, and help to make it stop.
Just like when people upload untested packages.
Pushing against personal boundaries of people is not ok, and pushing against personal boundaries does happen. When you get involved in a new community, such as Debian, find out early where, if that happens, you can find support, understanding, and help to make it stop.
If you cannot find any, or if the only thing you can find is people who say "it never happens here", consider whether you really want to be in that community.debian eng life pdo
Python gotcha
This code:
#!/usr/bin/python3 class Test: def __init__(self, items=[]): self.items = items def add(self, item): self.items.append(item) a = Test() a.add("foo") b = Test() b.add("bar") print(repr(a.items)) print(repr(b.items))
"obviously" prints:
['foo', 'bar'] ['foo', 'bar']
Because the default value of the
items argument is a mutable list constructed
just once
when the code is
compiled when the function definition is evaluated, and then reused.
So, in Python, mutable items in default arguments are a good way to get more fun time with debugging.debian eng pdo
I chipped in
I clicked on a random link and I found myself again in front of a wired.com popup that wanted to explain to me what I have to think about adblockers.
This time I was convinced, and I took my wallet out.
I finally donated $35 to AdBlock.
(And then somebody pointed me to uBlock Origin and I switched to that.)eng pdo rant
Adjusting with Moore's Law
In my last post I used zxcvbn to check the strength of passwords, and it gave estimates in hundreds of centuries.
However, there's Moore's law. If we assume that every 18 months the effective computing power will double...
#!/usr/bin/python3 import sys years = int(sys.argv[1]) # How many 18 months intervals we spent count = 0 # How many original-computation-time-months we compute each 18 months interval step = 18 # How many original-computation-time-months we computed so far total = 0 # How many original-computation-time-months we need target = years * 12 # Iterate each 18 months interval while True: count += 1 total += step if total > target: break step *= 2 print("{:.2f} years needed".format(count / 12 * 18))
...then something that is now estimated in 152 centures is likely to take, well:
$ ./actual_years 15200 9.33 years needed
Fixed algorithm (thanks John MacGregor). Now the estimate is a little longer, but still:
$ ./actual_years 15200 21.00 years needed
Łukasz Stelmach proposed an analytic solution:
debian eng pdo
There are two cars (remember phisics in primary school?). They both have the same speed V0. It is going to take "54.697 centuries" for car A to travel the desired distance at constant speed. Car B is accelerating, its speed is 2^(t/18m)*V0 (18 [m]onths).
s = V0 * T (car A, T is 54.697 centuries)
s = ∫2^(t/18)*V0 dt (car B, we're looking for t)
It's been some time but as far as I can tell it is
s = V0 * 2^(t/18) * 1/((1/18) * ln 2)
2^(t/18) * 1/((1/18) * ln 2) = 54.697 * 100 * 12 [months]
2^(t/18) = 2527.54
t = 18*log2(2527.54)
t = 16.96 years (still reasonable strength).
Enhanced xkcd password generator
gpw and xkcdpass have entered testing.
How about putting them together?
#!/usr/bin/python3 import subprocess import random import re re_spaces = re.compile(r"\s+") def get_words(cmd): out = subprocess.check_output(cmd, universal_newlines=True) return (x for x in re_spaces.split(out) if x) words = set() words.update(get_words(["xkcdpass", "-c", "10"])) for l in range(6, 9): words.update(get_words(["gpw", "10", str(l)])) for i in range(7): print(" ".join(random.sample(words, 5)))
Let's check the results:
#!/usr/bin/python from __future__ import print_function from zxcvbn import password_strength import sys for line in sys.stdin: pw = line.strip() info = password_strength(pw) print("{pw}: {crack_time_display} {entropy}".format(pw=pw, **info))

Postprocessing files saved by vim
Processing vim buffers through an external program on save, is a technique that is probably in use, and that I have not found documented anywhere, so here we go. Skip to the details for the entertaining example.
I wanted to integrate egt with TaskWarrior so that every time I am editing an egt project file in vim, if I write a line in a certain way then a new taskwarrior task is created. Also, I have never written a vim plugin, and I don't want to dive into another rabbit hole just yet.
Lynoure brought to my attention that taskwiki processes things when the file is saved, so I thought that I can probably get a long way by piping the file from vim into egt and reading it back before saving.
I created a new
egt annotate command that reads a project file, tweaks it,
and then prints it out; I opened a project file in vim; I typed
:%!egt annotate %:p --stdin and saw that it could be done.
I find the result quite fun: I type
15 March: 18:00-21:00 in a log in egt,
save the file, and it becomes
15 March: 18:00-21:00 3h. I do something in
TaskWarrior, save the file in egt, and the lines that are TaskWarrior tasks
update with the new task states.
Here's a step by step example of how to hook into vim in this way.
First thing, create a filter script that processes text files in some way.
Let's call this
#!/usr/bin/python3 import sys import subprocess for line in sys.stdin: print(line.rstrip(), file=sys.stdout) line = line.strip() if line == "$": pass elif line.startswith("$"): out = subprocess.check_output(["sh", "-c", line[1:].strip()], universal_newlines=True) sys.stdout.write(out) if not out.endswith("\n"): sys.stdout.write("\n") print("$ ", file=sys.stdout)
Then let's create a new filetype in
~/.vim/filetype.vim for our special magic
text files:
if exists("did_load_filetypes") finish endif augroup filetypedetect au! BufNewFile,BufRead *.term setf SillyShell augroup END
If you create a file
example.term, open it in vim and type
:set ft it
should say
Finally, the hook in
function! SillyShellRun() :%!/home/enrico/dev/egt/pyvimshell :$ endfunction autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre <buffer> :silent call SillyShellRun()
Now you can create a file
example.term, open it in vim, type
$ ls, save it,
and suddenly you have a terminal with infinite scrollback.
For egt, I actually want to preserve my cursor position across saves, and egt also needs to know the path to the project file, so here is the egt version of the hook:
function! EgtAnnotate() let l:cur_pos = getpos(".") :%!egt annotate --stdin %:p call setpos(".", l:cur_pos) endfunction autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre <buffer> :silent call EgtAnnotate()
I find this adorably dangerous. Have fun.debian eng pdo sw

Oh, and they also add the oh-so-clever caption "First Blood Sens" after a 4-2 Ottawa victory.

D100 and older lenses
Most of my Nikkors are manual focus AI series with no electrical contacts at all. I have heard conflicting stories on whether they will work with the D100. What have you heard? I don't expect autofocus obviously or matrix metering, but can I use manual TTL metering or at least meter with my handheld meter and still set the exposure while ignoring the built-in meter?

The two page PDF leaflet on Nikon\'s site lists the D100's lens compatibilities:
1) D-type/G-type AF Nikkor: All functions possible.
2) D-type Manual-Focus Nikkor: All functions except autofocus possible.
3) AF Nikkor other than D-type/G-type: All functions possible except 3D Matrix Metering.
4) AI-P Nikkor: All functions except 3D Matrix Metering and autofocus possible.
5) Non-CPU: Usable in M mode (camera's built-in exposure meter does not work).
Electronic Rangefinder usable with lens with maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster; IX-Nikkors cannot be used.
So you will be able to use your lenses, although it does look like the cameras meter will not operate.

No where in their complicated fine print terms online does it say in bold letters you can't get a refund. Everyone gives refunds these days, how do these thieves get away with this?
I guess they have to pay for all the fancy actors they have promoting this worthless product . I have never had to pay for something I didn't receive in all my 63 years.!
Refund should be given if people try out the program for a few hours and decode it is not for them

They did waive the set up fee for the promo period
AUTHOR: MovingForward - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 27, 2013POSTED: Sunday, January 27, 2013
As to the sign up fee, the promotion is that the set up fee is waived but you have to pay the monthly fee in advance for the first three months. It is $56.85 for the first three months and then $18.95 per month thereafter. The standard monthly plan is $48.90 for the first month and then $18.95 per month. So the promotion does represent a significant savings.
Now, if you had technical difficulty because you are using an ipad, then switch to your laptop for ease of entry. Could it be their mobile version is not up to speed? Sure. In that case, contact technical support.
IMO, signing up for 2 hours seems rather unrealistic to determine if the program works for you. Expecting a refund on the exact same date you signed up - highly unrealistic, especially on a Sunday afternoon. Contact someone in the morning to see what type of refund you can get. You are more likely to receive a better answer during the week.
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?

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, especially Harry Potter studio tour. Room was very clean, sheets changed nightly. Reception looks nice. Not bad, but..:
Bed a little stiffer than those at premier inn, but not premier in prices, so cannot complain. Window not entirely soundproof and hotel is next to a reasonably bust road but I slept like a light. Bad:

We travelled here with the aim of staying close to the Warner bros studios for the Harry Potter tour.
We had a 3 bed room, very comfortable and loads of room. Bed was great although even the softest pillow was quite hard and my daughter found it difficult to sleep with it. We had room service which was prompt food was great. Watford junction was a 7 minute walk from the hotel and the tour bus left from here. We would recommend the tour it was fabulous.

Great room
The room was lovely, it had a huge bed in it.
It was very clean. The only thing that annoyed me was a school trip was also staying at the same time as me down the same corridor, who kept us awake very late and got up early in the morning slamming doors and talking loud etc

Reception not great. Description not accurate.
Two-day meet up with my daughter.
Hotel details stated parking available. Didn't say it wasn't on site and a walk to the car in the rain wasn't helpful. Greeted by a man who didn't know cost of parking told us it was £17. His reaction to the look of shock was to say it would be discounted to about £12 with a validation from the hotel. It was in fact £6 with a 33% discount so £4 in the end. Hotel also had incorrect booking details for us. Intended to share a room but decided against. Just as well as the beds are described as large double. They were not.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By Heidi Hunt
homesteading, second job, winter job, off-farm income
What are some of the best or most common ways that homesteaders earn off-farm income in the winter? I'd like a steady, off-farm job, but an employer who is willing to let me work only 5-6 months a year and have the rest off (to grow food, etc.)
Dan Taylor
Ellsworth, Maine
This is a question commonly asked by folks who are beginning their new farm life. Making a living while trying to provide a sustainable life for your family is not as easy as it seemed on Little House on the Prairie.
Let's break this down into pieces. Unless you are trying to do it all — farm with horses, milk cows and make cheese, cut your own firewood, make lumber and sell your crops at a local farmer's market — there will be large chunks of time during the growing season when you are not busy with farm work full time. So the question might be, what kind of jobs are available that will give you the flexibility to be a farmer as well as provide some cash to pay the necessary bills.
In rural areas, part time jobs are frequently easier to come by than fulltime professional work. So, polish up your resume/skill database and head off to town and visit some of the businesses that fit your skill base. Let them know that you are available fulltime in the winter and part time the rest of the year. One great possibility is the school district, which is mostly closed during the summer. They need janitors, mechanics and bus drivers. Or you might have the education to be a substitute teacher, which would allow you to say yes or no to work that fit your schedule. Being a snowplow driver might be a good winter job in Maine, where you live.
If you are good with machinery and have a tractor with attachments, you can hire yourself and your machine out to grade driveways, dig drainage ditches, scoop out dirt for backyard ponds or plow up land for neighborhood garden plots.
Your question leads me to believe that you have not made the move to the farm yet, and are checking out your options — good for you! Your success or failure with this new venture will be based on good advanced planning.

Nowadays, most folks want smaller speakers, but the market for supersized models hasn't totally disappeared. JBL's Northridge Series ND310IIs (listed at $349 each) are rather large examples, and we loved their unabashedly retro style and sound. They're the speaker equivalent of a well-used '67 Chevelle SS396--and just as fun. These speakers aren't for everybody, but if you're lusting after big sound or you need to fill a large space, we highly recommend the ND310IIs.
Each ND310II stands 42 inches tall and weighs 55 pounds, but despite this bulk, the speakers don't feel as solid as most of their higher-end competitors. If you rap your knuckles on the black-ash, medium-density fiberboard cabinet, you'll hear a rather hollow sound, but JBL claims the lock-mitered, computer-designed enclosure doesn't require bracing. Black cloth grilles are provided.
Whatever you do, don't stuff these towers into a tiny room; they'll sound boomy or overly thick in cramped quarters. The ND310IIs need a lot of breathing space to give their best; anything larger than 200 square feet should be OK.
The ND310IIs are extremely efficient, so they'll work well with even low-power receivers (those with less than 50 watts per channel). And the speakers' high-temperature, oversized voice coils and motor structures ensure they'll also handle 250-watt-per-channel receivers.
Each speaker's driver complement consists of a 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter, a 4-inch midrange, and a pair of 10-inch woofers. The drivers were designed to be used with the ND310II's simple crossover network; JBL engineers minimized processing to reduce sound degradation. Good-quality binding posts accept banana jacks, spades, or bare wire.
A front-mounted port increases bass output without adding unwanted port noise. In addition, the towers are video shielded for safe placement near TVs.
The ND310IIs' bodacious looks inspired us to dig up our Pink Floyd and Parliament Funkadelic CDs, and we reveled in the big, bad '70s sound. These speakers can party! Returning to the 21st century, we sampled the awesome new White Stripes CD, Elephant, and the ND310IIs delivered the full measure of Meg White's massive drum sound and Jack White's fearsome guitar.
Cranked beyond "annoy the neighbors" levels, the speakers never overdistorted, but the bass did loosen and turn flabby. And the JBLs didn't sound as pure or as clean as some of the better (and more expensive) floor-standing Polk and Dynaudio speakers. On the other hand, the ND310IIs can pin you back in your chair with a dynamic impact that no subwoofer/satellite system can match.
Next, for our home-theater audition, we mated the ND310IIs with JBL's N-Center II center-channel speaker and N26II satellites. First up was The Grey Zone, a riveting Holocaust prison movie. The DVD's hauntingly atmospheric soundtrack is loaded with ominous low-frequency effects. At first, we were concerned that our subwoofer-less JBL system would miss some of the low-frequency action, but the ND310IIs didn't let us down--those four 10-inch woofers pack quite a wallop.
After that grim DVD, we opted for the decidedly more cheerful Back in the U.S., Paul McCartney's new concert DVD. The ND310IIs sounded sweet when Sir Paul was alone on the stage with his acoustic guitar, and listening to the full band play tunes was like being at a live show. The ND310IIs' stellar DVD/home-theater performance was the deal clincher for us.

Skip to comments.NAZI UFOs TRUTH or MYTH?
Posted on 11/04/2007 11:30:22 AM PST by Fennie
Not a UFO, but my favorite Luftwaffe aircraft. I'd love to get my hands on a flyable version.
No matter how far-fetched, I still love this stuff. I'm a time traveler myself. I came here at an extremely young age, in 1946! Been stuck here ever since!
Is this UFO day?
Ask Dennis Kucinich.
Yes, Dennis came down from the mothership for the purpose of spreading leftism and the fact that space creatures are actually liberals here to impeach Dick Cheney.
Even outer space beings are for the cause of socialism.
Outer space is also going to vote Democrat. /s
Actually, we see time-travelers most every nights...folks who went into the future, but forgot that the Earth wasn't there yet. We just call 'em meteors...
This is the best part...
The Germans "began in 1942 to take women of Aryan decent (Volksdeutsch) from the Ukraine solely for the purpose of
transporting them to Base 211. Ten thousand women between the ages of 17-24, blonde and well proportioned, were recruited for the project"
Sweet duty, if you can pull it.
I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.
I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.
In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.
Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.
Latitude N 42.48018 & Longitude W 071.15503 and the Elevation is 96. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.
Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.
After unit has been sent please email me at: email@example.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.
Thank You
Wonder how long this will be up.
I was unfamiliar with that plane. There is even a Wikipedia entry for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blohm_&_Voss_BV_141
Wow, strange design — I wonder what they thought the benefit of it was?
According to Wiki, you won't be able to. None exist today.
I was on an Art Bell-esque listserv deal years ago and there was a German kid that had a bunch of WWII era photos of planes and supposed UFOs and the entrance to the subterranean base and all
He even had interviews lined up with an old German guy that supposedly routinely visited it. Dont know how it ended up though he was supposedly going to set up a website (at the time I didnt even have a web browser, just got stuff off a mail list).
Anyway, certain German and Russian scientist types (?) claim theyve not only physically visited the moon but mars too. Claim the atmosphere is thin but tolerable to humans if you wear warm clothing, etc.
I sent away for their free information packet thatd tell you how to build an anti-gravity-something-or-other to power your own spacecraft using two air-cooled VW engines. But the request for the free information came back as no such business at that address.
Had my heart set on a mars vacation too
Next time, I guess.
A look at what was on paper in '45.
Saw it years ago when Discovery still showed "Wings" every afternoon. Liked it ever since, just because of the look, I guess.
Thinking outside the box, back before aircraft design was fully standardized.
I know. I probably won't be able to own much more than a beat-up old 172, but I can still dream about it.
Maybe you can pick up the parts you need at the Alien Technology Online Catalogue.
Yeah, the Weserflug does look mighty familiar.
Check out the Triebflugel under the Focke Wulf entry.
It'd be interesting if a wealthy airplane fanatic or collector tried to build a full-scale working model using the original plans. Probably cost millions, though.
Focke-Wulf Fw 1000x1000x1000 Bomber Project B
That looks like a stealth bomber, don't it ? Well ahead of its time.
Springtime for Hitler and Germany.......
Only without the fly-by-wire computer systems the B-2 relies on to keep it airborne. Very impressive.
The movie made absolutely no sense.
Not unlike this thread.

LONDON: Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (pictured) has been chosen as both one of the Five Cricketers of the Year and the Leading Cricketer in the World for 2011 in the 2012 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, it was announced yesterday.
The 34-year-old Sangakkara, one of the outstanding batsmen of his generation and for much of his career a top-class wicketkeeper as well, became the first man to receive both awards since Wisden, 'cricket's bible', started naming a leading cricketer of the year in 2004.
In 2011, no-one else came close to the 2,267 runs Sangakkara scored in all international cricket, and he is now the only man to have topped 1,000 runs in Tests and one-day internationals in a single year on three separate occasions.
The left-hander also captained Sri Lanka to the World Cup final, where they were beaten by co-hosts India in Mumbai.
Off the field, he also received worldwide praise for giving a deeply heartfelt MCC Cowdrey Lecture at Lord's which caused shockwaves in his homeland when he called for the end of political interference in Sri Lankan cricket.
Sangakkara's career Test record of over 9,000 runs in 108 matches with 28 hundreds at an average of nearly 55 stands comparison with all but a handful of cricket's greatest batsmen.
Wisden, published every year since 1864, is widely regarded as cricket's leading reference work.
The Five Cricketers of the Year, chosen solely by the editor of Wisden -- the 2012 edition is English cricket journalist's Lawrence Booth's first as editor -- is an award that dates back to 1889. Among the other four recipients for their performances in 2011 were the England Test duo of run-hungry opener Alastair Cook, who made 294 against India at Edgbaston, and pace bowling all-rounder Tim Bresnan, yet to be on the losing side in a Test match.
Lancashire captain Glen Chapple was also honoured after leading the Old Trafford-based club to their first outright County Championship title in 77 years, as was fellow seamer Alan Richardson, who took 73 First Division wickets to help Worcestershire avoid relegation.
No one can be chosen as one of the Cricketers of the Year, based primarily on a player's influence upon the previous English season, more than once.
Meanwhile, new editor Booth urged officials in India to abandon the "self interest of the few" and concentrate instead upon improving their team's Test results.
India is cricket financial's powerhouse, with the passionate following for the sport in the world's second most populous nation making its broadcast and commercial rights the most valuable in the game.
As a result, India is able to attract leading players from around the world to the lucrative but domestic Twenty20 Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.
However, five-day Test cricket is still regarded by officials and players as the ultimate form of the sport yet in 2011 India were whitewashed in a series in England before, in early 2012, suffering a similar fate in Australia.
But 2011 also saw India lift the one-day World Cup for the first time in 28 years after they triumphed on home soil to beat Sri Lanka in a final in Mumbai.
In the 2012 Wisden, Booth -- an English cricket journalist -- writes: "India have ended up with a special gift: the clout to shape an entire sport. Some national boards would struggle to survive without an Indian visit."
He adds: "But too often their game appears driven by the self-interest of the few -- officials unable to admit that injuries collected in, or aggravated by the IPL damaged their side's chances in England; capable of suggesting disregard for the innings defeat at Sydney in January 2012 by responding with the breathless news of the schedule for IPL 5; and happy to whitewash the whitewashes with constant reference to the World Cup."
Booth added the rest of cricket's leading nations were not paragons of virtue either but that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) were in a unique position.
"Other countries run the game along self-serving lines too; cricket's boardrooms are not awash with altruism. But none wields the BCCI's power, nor shares their responsibility.
"The disintegration of India's feted batting line-up has coincided with the rise of a Twenty20-based nationalism, the growth of private marketeers and high-level conflicts of interest. It is a perfect storm. And the global game sits unsteadily in the eye. India, your sport needs you."

"At international level the administrators' insistence on Test cricket's primacy has been stated so often as to have lost any meaning," he wrote. "The proof of the pudding came in a canape -- the two-Test series in November between South Africa and Australia, when a pair of classics left the players craving a decider." REUTERS
