Sep 3, 2013 at 6:00 pm #1307275
I've been contemplating the idea of starting a blog to share my stories and experiences from my travels, backpacking trips, and other adventures.
I like WordPress as a platform but I'm stuck on which host to use.
I've considered using Bluehost as it seems to be user friendly and from what I've googled, they seem to have a stellar reputation. The current $48 a year doesn't give me any concern. I'm not entirely sure how much of a benefit one click script installs are and I suppose other hosts probably offer this for less or no cost. I'm mildly concerned about my ability to transfer to another host later on but seeing that I have no aspirations to make money with my blog my concern is probably unfounded.
Any input from any of you bloggers or those of you in the know is greatly appreciated.
Edit: Regarding WordPress blogs, is it possible to tell which host they are using? For example, Stick's Blog has advertisements unrelated to his blog at the bottom. I assume that he's using a no cost host in exchange for their ability to sell advertising space?Sep 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm #2021491
Of course you can have WordPress host it for free.
I use HostGator and have only had one problem in over a year. That was a down server for about 12 hours.Sep 3, 2013 at 6:11 pm #2021494

"I'm mildly concerned about my ability to transfer to another host later on but seeing that I have no aspirations to make money with my blog my concern is probably unfounded. "
Exactly what are your concerns?
Yes, I think WordPress is a very practical way to go.
I guess some of it boils down to whether you intend to manage your own domain. You get a little more freedom that way, but then there are some management duties.
I had mine hosted by a well-known hosting company for about three years, but they supplied the required blogging tools. As long as the tools worked, then there was no problem. Then when the tools did not work and I would file a technical complaint, I expected quick fixes. When the fixes went from super slow to never, then they lost my business. In a flash, I had the domain transferred to a different hosting company. There are no required tools, although they supply quite a number for me to choose from. Sometimes you can get a better deal if you know exactly what your blog will end up looking like. I mean, if you have lots of video, then that requires some bandwidth. If you have no video, then that gets easier and maybe cheaper. If you are trying to do online commerce, then that means something else.

Thanks Nick. I liked your most recent blog entry. I hiked The Enchantments here in Washington yesterday so there seems to be a theme this week.
You've addressed most of my concerns Bob. If I find that the host isn't cutting it for me, I'd like to know that I could transfer my blog intact to another host. I don't understand how this works but is it safe to assume that transferring a WordPress blog from host to host is fairly straightforward but if I were to start one on another platform, lets say Blogger, it's not?
I've recently started playing with video. At the moment the videos are crude but I'm putting in some effort to improve the quality. My plans are to upload the videos to YouTube and link to those videos from my blog. I'm not going to be involved with online commerce but my wife will when she launches one for her jewelry.
I've perused your pictures which are wonderful by the way.Sep 3, 2013 at 6:25 pm #2021500
The free WP host does have an add at the bottom. Really doesn't bother me.
Most hosting companies have pretty easy to use software to move existing WP site over.
You may want to start a test on WP. Only problem would be moving it to your own domain and your audience won't know the URL.Sep 3, 2013 at 6:39 pm #2021505
I had a great time on that trip.
When I started researching I found there were mixed reviews on the host companies and the vast majority or reviewers had affiliate links to the host sites (they get money for every click).
So then I started looking at host sites and found most of the big ones had tools for simple installation of WP software. You can get free WP plug-ins to do all the stuff that you see on the right hand side of my site (if you are using a computer — they are at the bottom of the screen on mobile devices). A couple I had to change the code, and the biggest problem for me was finding the correct page for the code.
It was all pretty easy with WP and the tools on Host Gator. Just spend some time researching. Keep in mind that I learned how to send a text message on a cell phone in May 2011 and built the website a year later. Isn't that difficult.Sep 3, 2013 at 6:41 pm #2021507
I don't really care about the ad either. My largest concern is the ability to create a clean and organized blog and would like numerous options for font, color, etc when it comes time to make a final decision on how it will look. The general theme will be travel and my trip reports but I'll cover a few sub genres within that realm, including international travel (UL of course), backpacking, etc.
Edit: Because of the variety of travel, I'm looking for some flexibility in how I separate the topics in the header bar. The big plan is that the main screen will display my posts by date but if someone was interested in reading my Indian trip report, they could click on "International Travel" on the header bar to filter out unrelated posts.
I'm assuming that 90% of that is covered by WordPress itself but that some of the hosts make the process easier.Sep 3, 2013 at 6:46 pm #2021511

"I've perused your pictures which are wonderful by the way."
Thank you. There are two web sites. One is my blog, and it has no images except for the simple banner at the top. Then the banner has a link to the online photo gallery, and it is hosted by Zenfolio. Therefore, Zenfolio gives me lots of creative latitude on the appearance of the online photo gallery, but it is in Zenfolio's domain. In other words, if I let my account with Zenfolio get bad, they could simply knock me off the air completely for photos. Or, if Zenfolio's servers had a bad day, it could all be down. The blog is completely independent, except for that one little link, and I have to depend on one hosting company for that.
Now, I could condense both of those into one web site, if I chose, but it would be a lot more to manage.
It just kind of depends on what you want to do and what your skills are.

I am not sure about the adds you talk about as I don't have them on either of my WordPress.com sites. I have two sites, my backpacking one is free
The other is for our business and I wanted the domain name so it costs $17 a year for the domain name.
I have found WordPress very easy to use.Sep 4, 2013 at 6:52 am #2021657
Thanks Alex. I just subscribed to your backpacking blog.Sep 4, 2013 at 6:58 am #2021659
At just a quick glance, it seems that Host Gator and Bluehost are pretty comparable.
One thing I noticed is that when I visited Host Gator last night, I downloaded a cookie and started receiving some targeted advertising from them on other websites like Amazon. Not a big deal and a reality of surfing the internet; just a casual observation.
Seeing that I've been following Nick's blog for a while now and have never heard of Host Gator before, I'm sure that this won't be a problem for my 10s of future subscribers.Sep 4, 2013 at 7:21 am #2021665

I have seen a few free WP sites with a single ad at the bottom, seems there is a note at the bottom with something like, "about these ads."

Blogger is actually quite good. I use it to back the hillmap blog:
It is quite themable/configureable and there are lots of widgets you can use to add top/side bars. We have some adds and affiliate links on there but you don't need to.
It may not be quite as customizable as WordPress and I wouldn't use it for something like an organization/business website but it is free and super easy to get up and running which is a plus.
There are a large number of preset themes with easy to use customization tools to tweak things like column use and header images and you can set it up on your own domain name.
Integration with piccasa/google plus is also nice for easily managing photos…I've been enjoying the automatic panorama stitching they just added.
We are starting a wordpress blot at work and although it looks beautiful thanks to a custom theme I find the post editor painful compared to blogger.
There is also import/export functionality between blogger and wordpress (or other engines I think) if you want or need to move your post somewhere else later.
My advice would be to look at some themes and make a test post on both platforms and see what you like.
RyanSep 4, 2013 at 8:37 am #2021684
The decision is whether you want to own your own domain (e.g., backpackinglight.com). If you have your own domain you have more control, but there is nothing I do right now that I couldn't do with WP.com. I could set up email accounts and other goodies. I have more storage space.
So why did I opt to go with my own domain and host it on a commercial server?
Because I did not want to be subject to WP policies and possible changes in the future. I am not saying there is anything wrong with WP, but who knows what might happen.
Here is an example. For several years I had my pictures stored on Webshots, organized by albums. I had more pictures than was permitted under the free account and paid $25 a year to be a premium member. Over 9 years my Webshots site had over 1.5 million hits and was the #3 rated site in its category. Friends and family would check the site periodically to see what I was up to. There were no stories, just pictures with captions. Then the site was sold. The new owners decided to change it into a social networking site (eek!) and deleted everyone's albums. Over this 9 year period I had linked a lot of these pictures to posts on a tent trailer forum (pictures have to be linked to an external URL the cannot be uploaded to their server), so now all those posts no longer have pictures but a box that says image no longer available.
I used to post trip reports on BPL, which everyone takes quite a bit of time to do if you are adding pictures and is a nightmare to format text, unless you are Bill Gates. Plus BPL is in turmoil, moderators can delete anything you post (rarely happens unless you are Ken Thompson), the owner doesn't seem to care much about BPL, and I don't want to have my hard work disappear into electron hell as happened with Webshots.
Lastly, the blog turned out to be a good method to communicate with my grown kids. They can check out what I am doing and my son, who backpacks, can check out my trips and thoughts in gear — mostly gives him an idea of what to ask for on his birthday or Christmas. I guess the kids like the blog idea, my daughter just started her own. Besides, Facebook sucks and I am not going to do the Facebook thing :)Sep 4, 2013 at 9:56 pm #2021969
I'm definitely going to pay for my own domain after reading about your experience with Webshots. That sounds like a nightmare to see all that work and effort disappear.Sep 6, 2013 at 8:13 am #2022383
Thanks for all the help gentlemen.
I launched my blog last night. While it will still need some refinement, I found WordPress to be very easy to work with. As always, constructive criticism always appreciated.
My wife and I are using my blog as a learning opportunity before we create hers.
Take care and thanks again,
IanSep 6, 2013 at 8:27 am #2022391
Looks good on both my computer and iPhone. I like that you picked a nice clean template.
Also, I don't like blogs that run the entire post on the Home Page. So your use of the "Insert More Tag" makes it aesthetically pleasing. Oh my, I got to use a big word.Sep 6, 2013 at 8:40 am #2022398
You gave that advice to another blogger a while back and I applied it to my blog. Just call me the super stalker.Sep 6, 2013 at 9:43 am #2022417
Alex HBPL Member
@abhittLocale: southern appalachians or desert SW
Looks good Ian, as you go think about how you will set up your categories and pages so that it makes sense to find and organize posts. Also make sure to use the tags which will help folks find things when they do searches. Not every post deserves it's own category, you see some blogs where each stove review, say, is a category. Should be stoves as the category and each review goes in there, or Gear is the category and stoves a sub category and each stove has a tag of make and model. Same with pages and subpages.
To me archives are worthless for finding things because it all just chronological.Sep 6, 2013 at 10:01 am #2022421
Thanks Alex. I have a few ideas of how I want the categories to look and I don't want an ocean of superfluous sub categories.
One area I'm considering departing from this is for my longer hikes like the Wonderland and possibly the JMT at some point in the future. I believe I'll create a separate post for each day of the Wonderland and create its own category. Not committed to this and still mulling it over.Sep 6, 2013 at 10:10 am #2022422

I like it.
Clean and simple is the way to go, at least IMO.
"Too busy" distracts from the message trying to be conveyed.
Good luck on your hikes!

Go to any regional skating competition and you will see at least one skater skating to Classical Gas. It's like the Carmen of the lower ranks.
i feel sorry for yu-na; at first she only had to worry about beating mao; Now her biggest rival is her WR world record and after breaking it three times in a row everyone is watching her; i was so nervous and i could feel her tension and nervousness; like she now feels the pressure to break everytime; its huge; no one skates clean everytime. She is gonna be a mess at the gp final . I hope not ; like my sassy yuna
I don't know if this is technically true, but aren't GOE's for the ladies done relative to other ladies, too, and not necessarily compared to guys?
Even with three spots her chances would be slim at best. Hard to imagine she'd be able to beat all but one American...not without the SOHL and meltdowns from several top contenders...even then they may not send her based on how she's done recently.
So far my favorite ladies here are Yu Na, Glebova, Tugba, and (less) Julya. Fumie was good but not noteworthy. I don't like this cutesy program of Rachael's and I don't understand her score. Well, I guess I'll wait for the protocols.
Without Mao around, Yu Na really is in a class of her own. Even though I'm tired of hearing commentators drool about her, what else can they do?

I doubt that there's a single best way to do this. If this were my problem, I might want all the directory references to be in a master.do file and do most changing around by means of -cd-: ============================ master.do ... cd directory_one do directory_one cd ..\directory_two do directory_two ... ============================ If this is possible then your colleague just needs to edit master.do. But it could be even easier to agree on a common directory structure and naming. Nevertheless this could be far from optimal for you, especially if you need to use files in different directories more or less at the same time.

In 1912 Bonnard's friends George and Adèle Besson commissioned this painting for their apartment. Place Clichy, on the western slope of Montmartre, is the centre of a number of radiating avenues, a busy place full of people shopping, talking and drinking coffee. The automobile and commercial businesses visible in the background demonstrate the prosperity of the times.
The view is from the terrace of the Brasserie Wepler. Its awning is visible along the top of the picture, with the words soupers (suppers) and brasseri[e] facing out to the street — and therefore seen by us in reverse. The horizontality of the awning is echoed in the frieze-like array of people across the bottom half of the canvas. A waiter stands at the extreme left, another at the right. Two women on the left walk by, while the two to the right, accompanied by a small child, appear to be about to seat themselves at a table. A man walks with a dog, and two girls cross the street arm in arm, one of them carrying a basket of laundry. Passengers look out of the passing car. Figures on the far right with a parasol shield themselves from the bright sunlight bathing the scene.
A sense of depth is conveyed by the diminishing size of the people from foreground into middle distance; by the nearer buildings overlapping more distant ones as in a stage set; and by the softening and blurring of the most distant details.
The Brasserie Wepler is still there today — look up www.wepler.com on the internet.

One of my dad's favorite stories about me is when he took me to the Big Top to buy a kite when I was 5. We found everything we needed for 97 cents. I handed my dollar to the store clerk and waited for change. When I asked for it, he told me it was for the governor. I said I didn't want to buy a governor. After my dad and the clerk explained that the governor was going to use my 3 cents for the road to get to the store and the school I would soon attend, I acquiesced and let him keep the change I had anticipated.
As in physics, politics has a handful of immutable laws. One of these is the Law of Overreaching, which states that the party in power will inevitably overreach.
Majority parties tend to act as though the entire population shares their core agenda. The problem with this, of course, is that for the most part no majority is possible without the support of a sizable number of voters who aren't affiliated with either party.
After the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968, his brother Ted ended a moving eulogy by saying, "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world."

In the spirit of Michigan, where I'm at: Should Flint tear down one-third of its city? There's a June 6 article in Forbes magazine called "The Best and Worst Cities for Recession Recovery." Colorado has one city on the "best" list, Boulder, because of its technology industry and the university creating stable jobs. At the top of the "worst" list is Flint, Mich., with "the longest road to recovery."
When members of Congress left Washington to spend their August recess at home in their districts, pundits predicted they would be bombarded with constituent communication about President Obama's health care reform proposal. Due partly to public interest in the issue and significantly more by sophisticated grassroots efforts by supporters and opponents of the initiative, the pundits have been right.
We all know that 911 is the number to call in the United States to get help in a police, fire or medical emergency. A 911 call goes to the emergency dispatch center closest to the caller, and trained personnel send the emergency responders to the caller's location.
In Jefferson County, a team of dispatchers answers 163,000 service calls a year and dispatches five law enforcement agencies and 11 fire departments. Our dispatchers are trained in emergency medical dispatching, meaning they can talk a caller through basic medical treatment until help arrives.

Statistics Canada's CANSIM: A check-up for your business plan
This guest blog post is provided by Statistics Canada who is responsible for producing statistics that help Canadians better understand their country — its population, resources, economy, society and culture.
Is your business still on track? It's easy to get so busy with day-to-day operations that you lose sight of your business plan's objectives. Have you stepped back lately to reassess adjustments you might need to make due to changing economic conditions?
The CANSIM socio-economic database can help revive your business plan. You can access this database for free online. It's been free since February 2012. Whatever business sector you are in — retail, industry, service or hospitality — CANSIM has data on it. Updates are made to the site every week day as new data becomes available. It's likely that some of the key factors you considered in your original business plan may have shifted in today's rapidly changing social and economic climate. You can use CANSIM to analyze the trends in your market. Perhaps you have experienced cost overruns or revenue shortfalls. A search may reveal changes in demographics or incomes that influence customer habits, or perhaps even a rise in the number of competitors in your area. This database can provide a wealth of data that you can use to identify the cause and re-evaluate your business plan.
An important thing to remember about this database is that it's comprehensive; it houses information from 350 Statistics Canada surveys. So where to begin? To solve that for new CANSIM users, Statistics Canada has included a video tutorial (link no longer valid) that demonstrates how to navigate its new interface so you can hone in on the information you want — in your region, in your business sector, in your market — and examine that information over time to pinpoint trends. You can customize table results in countless ways. If you've never used it before, the five-minute tutorial is certainly worth viewing.
So maybe it's time to revisit your business plan to make sure it reflects what's really happening in your market. CANSIM can help.
Frequent check-ups help keep businesses healthy too.
Thank you for contacting Canada Business.
You can search the Statistics Canada CANSIM database by term or browse by subject or survey free of charge.
Regarding fees, much of the data collected by Statistics Canada is available to the public free of charge, although some statistics are still fee-based. For further information or questions on CANSIM or other statistical information, contact Statistics Canada.

Ok, so I was talking to my friend about cars yesterday. He has a 3000GT, not the VR4. He has some work done to it. The engine makes about 260hp at the crank. The car is a FWD vehicle and he says that it can pull 0.95g on the skidpad. I asked him if he has stock suspension and he said yes. I totally do not believe him. Does anyone know the stock skidpad on a 3000gt FWD model? As far as I know, the Cobalt SS holds the record for a stock FWD vehicle with 0.90g on the skidpad.
1997 Buick LeSabre 3.8L Auto 120,000miles2003 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Auto 90,000miles
260? more like 210-220.I dont beleive him either.
-----------------------Long live the Titan!
It was to my knowledge that the 3000GT also had a twin-turbo V6 with 300hp and all wheel drive. So it might be able to pull off that kind of G-force.

-----------------------Long live the Titan!
I really don't know much about that car, but did it have the same suspension as the vr4?
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
I am kind of sceptical that it makes 260hp at the crank. It is more of an estimate than anything else. But some work has been done to the engine. I can't remember all of what has been done to it, but I don't think 40hp to 50hp worth of work. I don't even think that it has performance cams.He seems like a car guy who knows his stuff, but thinks to highly of his car. I think that the VR4 only makes like 0.90g. No way in hell that they would have the cheaper FWD version pull higher. He was pretty dead set on his 0.95g skidpad number.Makes me really want to know what his can can actually pull. If it is lower, I still won't even tell him as I am sure that he will not listen. Just, that I won't talk to him as much about cars any more. lolThere is another friend at work that is into cars, but he is a ricer fan, and loves all things riced up, so I never bother to talk to him about cars. He is one of those vtech kind of guys.

As a past 3000gt owner (non twin turbo), I can only confirm that the handling of this car is far from exceptional. And 260 hp at the crank, you better have a serious amount of $ and hours under the hood to back your claim (or your friend's). But still, it is a nice car. Have been seeing a lot of dodge stealths lately
I am Rev-Happy
Found a December 1990 MT Test including the VR-4. It managed 0.90g.If I am remembering right, the base 3000GT was about 160hp. The mid-range I thought looked almost like the VR-4, but with a roughly 220hp V6. Then the turbo model which was 300hp in early models and I think 320 in later ones.
I can only say he probably has it confused by one digit- .85 would certainly be more believable (and is still quite a good amount of lateral force, in terms of what it feels like while in a turn).
_________________________________________________ It's not that I really needed 370 hp...but having 150+ hp riding shotgun at a moment's bidding w/o a 6000 rpm moonshot is what makes me feel like I'm in the right car for me. The roar of a v8 seals the deal!Is the Change everything you had hoped? Do you feel safer? Does the world now love us? Where did your $'s go?

Will we be able to watch live skating on Eurosport?
Just wondering because I now have high speed internet and think I have all the bugs worked out.
Will we be able to watch live skating on Eurosport?
Just wondering because I now have high speed internet and think I have all the bugs worked out.
Maybe I just didn't look hard enough, but I didn't think that Eurosport's website had any live video feeds. I'd love to be wrong about this, though, so won't someone please correct me? ;-)
For skating worlds, Eurosport.com did post the results as they came in.
Yes, you are right. I believe the only thing they offer for figure skating events is live text commentary so that you can read along to see what jumps the skaters completed missed and where they ended up in the rankings.
See this thread at FSU - I haven't tried it myself.
same here but if you scroll down in that thread, it appears to not work.
People are always saying links don't work! Sometimes it's their computer, sometimes a temporary problem.
I did succeed in opening the link when that thread first appeared, so you could link to the live feed then, but I never tried to watch a competition on it.
On another FSU thread, they talk about Eurosport having gone down during Worlds... but apparently it was working....
I just tried it out for myself and it doesn't work for me, either.
Well, try this and go to Winter sports, fig skating - it says "no live today," implying that there sometimes is. OTOH, it is pretty out of date. I'm not ruling it out but I can't investigate right now.
the link in the FSU-tread worked perfectly well for me, all though I would prefer so watch it on a tv, I do hope belgium eurosport will broadcast the figure skating this season..
Is it possible that only Europeans can play that link?

Metasploit 3 - how easy is too easy?
Now a while back I had a little go with Metasploit when it was 2.x, and to be frank it was a little scary and confusing. I could tell there was a lot of power under the hood, as it were, but I didn't have the time to get to grips with it.
Now I've just set up a 2k server target and installed Metasploit 3 on my attack machine. Without reading any documentation, I started Metasploit for the first time and five clicks and two IPs added later I had owned the target.
Five clicks and a little common sense.
Is anyone nervous that this might be taking the edge off the skills of your profession? I've been unfortunate enough to work with "paper" MCSEs and CCNAs** who have NO idea about what they're doing, and I don't like the way they dilute the skills pool. I can foresee a rash of idiots with meta and a copy of nessus labeling themselves as security consultants (not to mention IRC channels worldwide filled with skiddies who think themselves uber-leet because they took a live CD into school and now have domain admin).
Now I'm not trying to put the metasploit team down, far from it, I can now use the "power" that was just outside my grasp and I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with it and even after a few mins of use I can tell that some very very smart people have spent a long long time making this.
Nor am I trying to put pro-pentesters down, I know there's more to pentesting than just scanning and running exploits*** and the skilled professionals will survive much longer than the unskilled, but how easy is too easy? Wouldn't you like to keep it just a little bit black-art? or is it good that this tool makes it easier for poeple to aproach the topic and then progress to a higher understanding?
* this is no mean feat by any standards
** in the intrests of honesty you should know I have neither of these qualifications
*** please tell me I'm right on this one

Two Factor Authentication
I spent last night installing the latest version of AuthAnvil and RWW-Guard on our network. Between the two, we now have a far more secure environment that enforces Two Factor Authentication (TFA) for access to critical accounts and resources. Normal Windows authentication is a single factor authentication - your password. Now if you use a really good, very long, password it's a reasonable level of security for most folks. But let's be honest - who really wants to type in a 20 character pass-phrase every time you log in, and keep changing it every few weeks. So, inevitably, we all tend to either go for a much shorter password, or never change it. (or more likely, both) By adding an additional level of authentication, we can increase security without materially increasing the pain of our users. Because, let's face it, users resist pain and find ways around it!
There are lots of kinds of TFA - some based on who you are (biometrics), some on what you know (additional query/response fields), and some based on what you have (token based systems). And many based on combinations of those. With AuthAnvil, I have a little key fob token that generates a one time password (OTP) whenever I press the button. It stays visible for about 30 seconds, long enough to key it in. In addition to that one time password, I also have a personal pin that I need to know. And, of course, my own Windows account name and password. If someone gets my password somehow, it does them no good at all - they don't have the token to generate the OTP. If they are looking over my shoulder when I type it in, I don't care! Use it once and it's never, ever, used again. And if, perish the thought, someone gets my token, knows my pin, and knows my password? I can easily disable that token and it's now useless, except as a keychain. [:P]
What I really like about using an OTP token is that it isn't in any way possible to somehow fake my OTP. Biometrics are often used these days for TFA, and they have their proponents. But most biometric methods that ordinary folks have access to are easily fooled. As anyone who has watched Mythbusters knows! But my OTP token can't be fooled. Yes, I can lose it, or have it stolen. But it's easily disabled, even remotely, and then I just have the annoyance of getting a new one. And without my PIN, the token is useless anyway.
So, what's my number one gripe about AuthAnvil? No 64-bit support, so I can't use it for logins to my Ferrari. Yet. But Scorpion Software's Dana Epp has promised that it's actively being developed, and I'm hopeful we'll see it this fall? And when we do, I'll move all my business to require it for all logins. Right now I'm limited to requiring it for remote logins, either by way of VPN or over Remote Web Workplace. But as soon as the 64-bit GINA (for Windows XP) and 64-bit Provider (for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008) are available, I'll make the move.
So, if you're concerned about the security of your network, and especially of your remote users and the valuable information they have, you really should be using TFA. And AuthAnvil is an excellent form of TFA.
Followon: So, apparently Scorpion Software reads this blog, since they noticed our comments on AuthAnvil. That's nice, but they have a challenge for us - they want to hear from folks about the need for 64-bit. So, by all means, go on over to the Scorpion Software blog and let Dana know you want 64-bit support in AuthAnvil. And hey, I'll bet if a few folks actually place an order, that will shift his priorities quite quickly. [H]
3 Responses to Two Factor Authentication
I was wondering You might of heard of a Active MITM attack which will lame all these OTPs..It is no great Rocket Science to automate this attack as kits are found in underground
While a theoretical Man in the Middle (MITM) attack is possible, it requires a phishing site that a user would be willing to use and that used the same OTP mechanism. Not relevant or realistic to most (if any) corporate remote sites. Definitely something to think about with a commercial site, where it would need to be combined with additional layers of protection.
Agree with xperts64 about MTTM. Not relevant and not realistic to most (if any) corporate remote sites.
Another great Strong 2 Factor solution is CAT (Cellular Authentication Token)™. The Token is a java application installed on the users cell phone. The user enters a pin number and access the OTP on the cell phone. Multiple Tokens can be installed on the one cellular device. Very simple to use and real convenient. A device the user always virtually always carries with them.
Once a hard token user has experienced CAT they would only reluctantly go back to the old hard token.

"It has been magic. I've enjoyed a lot playing for Arsenal and I still love it," Sagna told Arsenal Player. "Every time I go to the pitch, I just give 100 per cent for the team.
"[The Club] is like my family. My personal family is in France but I feel at home here, I feel happy to come training and I feel relaxed. There are not many big clubs where you feel that confident.
"I think I have progressed a lot - that was my target, to come to such a big club and improve.
"I am very calm compared to when I came, I used to be a bit stressed before games but now I am totally relaxed because of my team-mates and the manager."
Sagna admits he felt a degree of apprehension about making the move from France to England, but is delighted with how things have worked out.
"I was a bit nervous because my English was [very basic], I was leaving my family and friends and it was a new life for me," he said.
"The first day was long. I had a lot of tests and I just had to wait for the FA to approve my contract. For one week I was scared something would happen.
"They finally [approved it] and I first started here at Emirates Stadium against Fulham. We won the game in the last 10 minutes, so it was just magic."

I will make decision on fabric by the weekend, I have envelopes ready.
Addressed all my envelopes last night. Had exactly enough! I will need to make a few Christmas ones myself. The material was cut from Fats and we all know that one Fat does not equal 2 F8s.

"If he wants to play, we'll welcome him to come play for the team if he wants to," Spurrier said. "If he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to."
This is what cancer sounds like. Apparently.
I say we draft Clowney in the 1st. If he's available with our pick, and the way we're playing he just might be.
In the 2nd round lets draft Jesus, yeah he hasn't played a meaningful game in over 2,000 years; but with the right group of guys around him he can flourish on this team.
I hope they take a O- Lineman -- we don't need CLOWNEY or a pass rusher as bad as we need O-LINE
i guess jacksonville would take clowney but i would think their bigger need would be quarterback. gabbert is garbage.

Why Whangarei Heads for a weekend away with a campervan?
Simply because we've never been to this area but have admired the rugged coastline and dramatic hills whenever we were driving to Whangarei. And we don't want to spend our whole weekend driving. We want to get away from Auckland, have a bit of a road trip but then park up and chill out. Truth said, we are all a bit winter-jaded...busy lives, looming NCEA exams, a broken limb and a household worth of flu bugs. Normally we'd be factoring in some energy expending activities but this time round we'll take it easy.
We pick up the van in downtown Auckland - can't miss it with its Covi supershow signage - we are an advertisement on wheels for the joys of campervanning. My husband has bravely put up his hand to drive through Auckland - I'll find my feet and the pedals later.
Harbour bridge, the motorway and soon the kilometres are passing along nicely. It takes only a minute to get used to the vehicle's scale. And it's neat riding up high. You also have close brushes with overhanging branches you'd normally never notice.
At Whangarei we stop for lunch at La Familia cafe. There's enough menu variety to keep us happy, pleasant settings and clean loos; that's all we need. We stretch our legs walking the main drag and then it's a short drive to our overnight spot at the waterfront Blue Heron campground. Our site is level, so no having to balance the van with blocks under the tyres so the blood doesn't rush to your head while sleeping.
Camp managers Bill and Pam make us feel right at home, give me tea and coffee supplies when I realise I've forgotten to pack any and lend us some DVDs after our 14-year-old struggles with the logistics of setting up the satellite dish. We all have a go, but conclude we must be out of range, not our fault. Anyway, Meet the Fockers is appropriate because Robert De Niro drives a rather large campervan in the movie.
Our closest neighbours are in a converted bus... friendly enough to say hi, but keeping a respectful distance. We watch enviously as they throw out a line in the water and are rewarded with kahawai.
The grown-ups walk along the coast, but the boys decide to stay put, one still grappling with the satellite dish and the other doing calculus homework. They've lowered a table to make up a huge bed (the perfect teen pit), while we have the cosy, private sleeping spot "upstairs" (above the driving cab).
Our walk takes us towards Manganese Park. The atmosphere is loaded for the thunder and downpour that arrive later in the night. We meet a friendly local sneaking down to his waterfront man's cave, a couple of Tui bottles in hand. He points us in the right direction so we can walk back to the road.
Back at camp we make a dinner reservation for the Parua Bay Tavern, recommended by everyone who knew we were heading this way. Driver No1 takes a nap as I hunker down with the boys to watch Meet the Fockers on the laptop. It's been a while since I cosied up with my boys under rugs all watching a movie together. We must do this more often, we don't need to wait until we are away from home, tucked in at close quarters!
We are pleased we headed to Parua Bay - what a setting, prime waterfront. The boys couldn't be happier, the hearty meals satisfy teen appetites and there's a good buzz as locals watch a Bledisloe match and the spine-tingling haka.
Returning to the campground in the dark, I send out a mental thank you to the inventors of the iPhone and Google maps for making navigating easy.
We finish off the last 30 minutes of The Fockers and then it's lights out. It is so cosy, it is 9am before we all get up ...luxury. We shower, have a cuppa and Jim and Pam show us the rather appealing cabins for those without their own on wheels. Mmm, we may have to return another weekend.
Brunch is at Parua Bay's Newday Cafe, with local art work, teen-sized breakfasts and omelettes, and then a drive to the end of the coast road, half-keeping an eye out for the Mt Mania walkway. We realise we're a bit lost. But that turns into a pleasing diversion, as we find Pataua, and its footbridge across to Pataua North and coastal walk.
Our first visit to Whangarei Heads won't be our last. Driving back to Auckland we're all much more relaxed. And the boys' are keen as to do another RV trip! Maybe more than just a one night away next time.
Other spots we love in a campervan
Awhitu Peninsula
Our writer Andy Kenworthy called campervanning on the Awhitu Peninsula a holiday hybrid - the freedom of camping with the comfort of a hotel, easy for parents and preschoolers. His picks are Awhitu Regional Park (you can pay over the phone and get the padlock code to your own private domain). The best spot: by the clifftop fence, parallel to the sea. Or head north to Orua Bay Campground and spend the afternoon on the soft sandy beach or looking at the carvings in the sandstone cliffs. Be warned that coffee shops (or even dairies) are sparse. If you've arranged it earlier, you could stop at Earthtalk for a tour of the 11ha organic garden. $10 an adult (or koha), children free, ph (09) 235 1375 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Clarks Beach
Also on the Manukau harbour, but an easy 40 minutes from the city, Clarks Beach Holiday Camp will give you the sort of holiday you had when you were kids. Impeccable facilities, pool, kayaks to rent, kids' playground and the obligatory old-style games room right by a sheltered, gentle beach. Food writer Alexia Santamaria was blown away by the takeaways up the road (look out for the home-made fudge). Be nice to people pulling up their flounder nets and you may get lucky.
Coromandel Road Trip
Heading along the western side of the Coromandel Peninsula is wheeled freedom, according to Danielle Wright. She recommends stocking up on seafood at the Coromandel Oyster Company (if you're lucky there's mussel chowder, kina, paua, crayfish and seafood fritters) or the Mussel Kitchen. As well as the beaches for rock pool exploration, you can stop at The Waterworks fun park, or potter Barry Brickell's Driving Creek Railway. Coromandel Top 10 Holiday Park is at the edge of the main shops in Coromandel town.
Or heading over to the east coast beaches, Sarah Lawrence fell in love with the Wentworth Valley Campsite (on the way into Whangamata from Waihi), tucked in the bush, next to a stunning walk to a waterfall. Swim in the basin below the falls or trek a short distance to take in the sweeping views across the valley. On the other side of Whangamata are delightful campgrounds at Opoutere or Hot Water Beach, as well as all the bigger resort towns.
Elisabeth Easther recommends this little gem of the Shorebird Coast, on the Firth of Thames, as it's barely an hour from Auckland. The Miranda Holiday Park is seriously well tended, with tennis courts, bicycles to hire and a cycle path. Add a thermal pool, Kaiaua's fish and chips just up the road and amazing birdwatching and your weekend on wheels is complete.

text: I know this must get old for you guys, but I've read a lot of threads and haven't come up with what I'm looking for. My 2009 Suburban LT is used for a daily driver, but also for water rescue POV. I am also an avid hunter. Last fall, I found that I was knocking the front air dam lower black lip off the clips running up in the mountains on fire roads through dips. I need some lift, but don't want to ruin the looks of the stock vehicle by going overboard with it. So, will just going with bigger tires look stupid without a lift? Can I get an inch out of new tires and then add another 2" from a body lift? Or, does it make more sense to do just the suspension? But, then do the stock tires look too small? I'll also be adding a brush guard and skid plate. Is it possible to keep the air dam lip in place with a brush guard? Sorry for all the questions. You guys are the experts. Pictures of your late model Subs with different types of lift kits/tires in the 2" to 3" range would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Eric

Cable barrier systems: Do they work?
As friends and family remember the eight people killed in a crash involving a bus on Interstate 40 in Jefferson County, we're getting the facts on whether cable barriers really do any good.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol says the bus driver lost control after a tire malfunction, crossed through the median and through a cable barrier, before crashing into a tractor-trailer and SUV.
Up and down Tennessee's interstates are different barrier systems designed to keep you safe. "They do help a lot," says David Lewis with the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
Wednesday, the cable rail system on I-40 didn't stop a bus from crossing through it and into oncoming traffic. "40,000 pounds is going to push that over," says Sgt. Bill Miller with Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Both TDOT and THP tell us nothing could have stopped that bus; TDOT says the cable barriers are more effective at stopping cars, as opposed to tractor-trailers and buses.
TDOT says lane departure crashes account for over 62 percent of traffic fatalities in Tennessee, which is over 600 deaths last year.
Lewis tells us they began installing cable railing systems a few years ago in sections of the interstate where the most crossover crashes occurred. He says the benefit over a guardrail or concrete barrier is that the railing system absorbs more of the impact, and sometimes keeps cars from bouncing back into the interstate. "When a car or vehicle gets over into it, they have a lot of tension. They're fixed where the cable can wrap around the wheel," says Lewis.
But as far as tractor trailers and buses go, "Most of the time, they're just so big and tall and they've got a lot of force behind them, they'll go through most anything," Lewis explained.
TDOT says they're constantly evaluating the effectiveness of the cable barrier, and while no barrier is 100d percent effective at interstate speed, any crash has potential for disaster.

Great weekend in Paris. The apartment is conveniently located and yet quiet. In the stylish surroundings there are all the shops. The apartment is nicely equipped, but the dishes are tight - and would be a big pot for cooking pasta very helpful.
Again any time.
Tolles Wochende in Paris. Die Wohnung liegt verkehrsgünstig und dennoch ruhig. In der stilvollen Umgebung gibt es alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll ausgestattet, jedoch ist das Geschirr knapp bemessen - auch wäre ein großer Topf zum Nudelkochen sehr hilfreich.

March 18 deadline approaches for ice fishing shelter removal
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds ice anglers in northwestern Minnesota of ice shelter removal dates on lakes located north of an east-west line formed by U.S. Highway 10 at the Minnesota-North Dakota border, east along Highway 34 to Highway 200, east along Highway 200 to U.S. Highway 2, and east along U.S. Highway 2 to the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
Dark houses, fish houses and portable shelters must be off the ice of inland lakes no later than midnight on March 18. For Minnesota–Canada border waters, the deadline for removal is March 31. Anglers are advised to remove shelters earlier if ice conditions warrant.
Enforcement action will be taken if shelters are left after the deadline. Those anglers who don't remove their shelter can be prosecuted. Conservation officers may remove the structure and confiscate or destroy it. It is also unlawful to store or leave a shelter at a public access.
"Anglers should also remove any refuse or litter from the lake," said Capt. James Dunn, DNR enforcement division. "Wood blocks used to support a shelter or any type of anchoring device needs to be removed."
After removal dates, shelters may remain on the ice between midnight and one hour before sunrise only when occupied or attended.
It is unlawful to improperly dispose of ice fishing shacks anywhere in the state. Anglers should check with local refuse providers or landfills for disposal of unwanted items.

Nice place to stay for a few days. There is enough room for two people allthough the bed is not very comfortable for two, not enough support and you'll find your partner in the middle.
Host was very correct and flexible and the appartement was well furnished and clean. Will return and recommend but only if bed is changed.
I had a pleasant stay during my stay in Paris in the apartment of Chokri. The apartment is small but fine, especially for one person. For two people .... maybe too small. It was spotlessly clean and in very good condition.
Everything was good foot. I will go back again at the next opportunity.
Ik had een aangenaam verblijf tijdens mijn verblijf in Parijs in het appartement van Chokri. Het appartement is klein maar fijn, zeker voor één persoon. Voor twee personen....misschien te klein. Het was brandschoon en in erg goede staat.
Alles was goed te voet bereikbaar. Ik zal hier bij een volgende gelegenheid weer terug gaan.
Reviews for this host's other properties
A nice and perfectly located flat. You could walk to almost everything. Located in the highest floor, so not for disabled. Kitchen was well equipped.
We (a family of 4) stayed in this suite for 5 days. Very clean and completely renovated place. Less than 10 minutes' walk to Eifel tower and maybe 2 or 3 minutes to closest metro station and Napoleon tomb. We had concern about the beds that looked narrow in the pictures but they were comfortable enough. Chokri provided clean sheets and white very clean towels. Kitchen and its dishes, pots and pans was very new and the small kitchen had everything even a dishwasher. It was a small suite but has enough closet to put many thing in it and the whole suite was bright. When we arrived we called him and he was there in half an hour. Everything was acceptable and if we want to come back to Paris we'll rent this suite again.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Chokri welcomed us friendly and timely. (We were delayed ;-). The apartment and the kitchen was very well furnished and equipped. Found everything very clean. Apartment shown in the pictures. A quiet and safe residential area. Shops around the corner. Metro 5 minutes. We can make further recommend the apartment and would go back anytime.
Chokri hat uns freundlich und pünktlich empfangen. (Wir waren verspätet ;-). Die Wohnung und die Küche war sehr gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Haben alles sehr sauber vorgefunden.

The nation's youngest adults, those in Generations X and Y, lead the nation for having the largest debt burden.
Americans younger than 47 have an average debt load of nearly $37,000 per person, according to the inaugural U.S. Consumer Savings and Debt Report by SaveUp, a financial rewards program for saving money and paying down debt.
Gen Xers have an average total of $46,972 in debt, compared to Gen Yers' debt total of $28,930. The variation in average debt can be attributed to the age differences between the two groups -- Gen Xers were born from 1965 to 1980 and Gen Yers have birth years between 1981 and 1995.
Nearly 50 percent of Generation Y's debt comes from nonasset-building loans -- including credit cards, car loans and lines of credit -- or "bad debt," while more than 60 percent of Generation X's debt is from mortgage and student loans, also referred to as "good debt."
"We wanted to share this (report) with the goal of inspiring other companies as well as financial services (and) policymakers to think about what kinds of things we need to do to support the financial success of Gen X and Gen Y," says Priya Haji, SaveUp CEO.
The report also finds that 32 percent of Gen Xers are investing and saving for retirement, but only 29 percent of Gen Yers are doing the same.
"Bringing that (bad) debt down first and getting rid of that higher-cost debt is going to be a really important goal that a lot of younger people are going to need to address," Haji says. "The other key thing is we're going to want to see savings patterns continue to increase."
