Homemade Body Butter
1/4 C Coconut oil
1/4 C Beeswax
2 TBLS Shea butter or Cocoa Butter
Put all of the ingredients into a mason jar. (I used an old pickle jar)
Put the jar into a few inches of water in a pot on the stove.
Place the lid on loosely
Bring to a light boil and let everything in the jar melt. Stir occasionally to help everything melt.
Then once cooled, just add your oils.This recipe will make about 6-8 oz of solidified lotion. I tripled mine.
Some of the oils you can smell over the Shea butter. Some you cant. Lavender and Lime, I could, wild orange not so much. So you can keep the oils out and just add it when you are putting on as a carrier lotion if you prefer.
It's greasy at first but absorbs quickly. I really like it and have thrown out all my other lotions. It's definitely different but I've come to really like it. My skin feels softer and I apply lotion less often. Oh and a little goes a long way.
Little by little I'm getting rid of products that have ingredients I don't like, or more likely don't know what they are. Seems a little crazy. I realized, after months of kicking against this idea of homemade beauty and cleaning products, that it really does matter what we put on our bodies. Just as much as what we put in them. Oh and the real quicker (kicker, I don't know why I spelled it that way), even what we inhale. Ugh.
I have struggled for year with acid reflux. I started using doTERRA's digestzen to try and treat it. However at first I couldn't swallow it because my throat was so eroded and sore that it hurt going down because of a few of the hot oils in it. So I tried rubbing a drop on the outside of my throat when it was acting up. And wouldn't you know it, the burn cooled right down. Within a minute. And it hit me that if this oil, absorbed that quickly into the inside of my body to do its magic, then everything I put on my body was going to be absorbed this way. Things that I would never eat, or put into my body. So slowly I have been trying to change what we use to clean with, and what I put on my body. It's going to be a process, but better late than never.

But the question is worth asking after a week of manifestos: what are our ambitions? Politicians make their judgments as if we were largely selfish and material. Behind Sharron Stoner's dramatic confrontation with Tony Blair lay the question which he could hardly have asked in the circumstances: would you, and millions of others, pay more income tax to finance the improved facilities you demand?
The answer people give to opinion polls is usually yes; the answer in the ballot box is somewhat different. Towards the end of the Seventies, it began to be obvious that income tax had a practical ceiling in the world of realpolitik. Not only would excessive rates be punished by the electorate, they would encourage evasion and avoidance. The move to regressive indirect taxation was, pace Mr Hague, begun under Mrs Thatcher. Denis Healey's ambition of squeezing the rich until the pips squeaked faded into the past along with Keynes, Hopalong Cassidy and his horse, Topper, and those beguilers of my youth, Hibs' Famous Five - Smith, Johnstone, Reilly, Turnbull and Ormond.
Last week, when the funeral of Bobby Murdoch brought back memories of Celtic's victory in the European Cup in 1967, I thought of the boundless ambition of Jock Stein, who transformed a team of footballers, most born within 30 miles of Glasgow, into champions. He made the best of what he had; rather sadly, he later bowed to realism when, as Scottish manager, he warned us to lower our expectations.
Yet expectations which run in conflict with reality are at the heart of our disenchantment with politics. And behind disillusion with New Labour is the perception that where it has failed it has done so out of timidity. As attacks on asylum-seekers multiply on the streets of the so-called Merchant City, it strives to be to the right of Hague. As our hospitals decay, it babbles about private finance and has allowed the rate of public investment to go on sinking as a proportion of GDP, though Gordon Brown now promises to reverse that trend.
It has been wretchedly timid and often I wonder what the difference is between it and the Tories. Many friends have decided to vote elsewhere or not vote at all. Tommy Sheridan's party is picking up a following among the chattering classes and he is to be congratulated on his party's stance against working-class racism.
Yet I shall vote Labour for two reasons, even though I'm not enamoured of the incumbent in my constituency. The first is Europe. The prospect of Hague and his Little Englanders unleashed is indeed depressing. The only consolation, perhaps, is that the sight of Hague strutting his stuff in Brussels, to the applause of the Mail and the Telegraph, might finally sicken Tories like Ken Clarke and Chris Patten, driving them at last into the arms of Labour or the Liberal Democrats. Of course, no party is sounder on Europe than the Lib Dems, though even Charles Kennedy, faced on TV by a pack of rent-a-crowd Tories in the audience, last week sounded a little equivocal on the euro.
The second reason is the major achievement of this administration - its constitutional reforms. These need a second term to bed down and develop. The question of Scotland's share of public spending has become increasingly volatile, even if much of the commentary in the south, in newspapers which should know better, has been ill-informed. When I met Martin O'Neill last week, he conceded that some of his Westminster colleagues had struggled to find a meaningful role. Their numbers are going to be reduced but their strategic importance remains as long as parliamentary sovereignty is entirely invested in Westminster.
Which brings me back to the question of ambition. Does Scotland want to make the best of things or would it prefer to languish in a perpetual resentment? The politics of grievance were the companions of my youth, just as much as Hopalong or the Famous Five. Colin Bell, Tommy's new acolyte, sneers that his old party, the SNP, is now just a collection of suits. That is no bad thing. John Swinney's rational approach is just what is required as our new parliament beds in. Come the Scottish elections in 2003, he may do very well. In the meantime, our task is, like the late Jock Stein's, to make the best of what we have.

Another ploy is to use a kid to knock at the door and then force their way into the house past the kid. ANY late night knocks at the door should ALWAYS raise suspicion. One other tip, sometimes, before they knock at your door, the bad guys cut the line to your land based telephone. If you check your phone and it is dead BEFORE you answer the knock at the door, definitely expect some serious trouble.
Imagine that you're an enemy soldier and you are surrounded by U.S. Army paratroopers on one side and American marines on the other side... Talk about a hopeless situation... That has got to be legal grounds for suicide!
I can see the front of the house without opening the door. My weapon is on my person...even when I know the 'knocker'...I trust few people.

In the National Football League, the tight end position has transformed from the quarterback's last resort to one of the biggest playmakers on offense. And, as the position continues to produce more athletes, the blocking aspect of the position has become a lost art for most. But there is at least one tight end available in this year's draft who takes pride in his blocking, Pittsburgh's Nate Byham, and that pride has translated into intrigue.
Scout.com has learned that Byham has already worked out for the New York Jets and visited the Pittsburgh Steelers. Byham also has a visit scheduled with the Baltimore Ravens next month.
A three-year starter at Pitt, the 6-foot-4, 268-pound Byham is the premier blocking tight end in this year's draft. Byham can contribute in the passing game, but he was never utilized to his full capacity as a pass catcher at Pitt, because of the offensive structure and his responsibilities at tight end. There's no question that Byham is limited athletically and doesn't possesses the speed to stretch the seam, but he has good hands and can move the chains.
Byham's best season statistically was in 2008 when he caught 20 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown.At the Scouting Combine, Byham ran a 4.97 in the 40, and a few weeks later at his Pro Day, he ran a 4.91. There's not much explosion to Byham's game, but when he latches onto the opposition, it's hard to break from his grasp. Byham figures to be a solid No. 2 tight end at the next level, and with the work ethic and team-first attitude he possesses, it's likely that he will be a much better pro than college player.
Byham is currently the 13th rated tight end listed on Scout.com's 2010 NFL Draft Rankings.

Pool fun builds endurance, self-confidence for 'group of four'
Joe Stewart had a grin on his face as he watched his friends swimming laps.
The 42-year-old man with autism goes to ARC Skyway, an adult day care facility in Camarillo.
And every Friday, an ARC staff member drives Joe and three other individuals with mental challenges to the Miller Family YMCA in Newbury Park to swim for an hour at the Y's indoor pool.
"It's more than just having fun," said Joe's mother, Roslyn Stewart. "They are learning coordination and building endurance swimming laps."
Joe lives with his mother in Newbury Park and attends the ARC facility for social and recreational activities. Roslyn, a retired attorney, routinely meets with the counselors to go over learning goals for her son.
"As a child Joe was slow developing, and learning is a challenge for him," she said. "However, he has a happy, positive disposition that many children with autism don't have."
Roslyn wanted to make sure that physical fitness was part of her son's ARC program and suggested he be driven to the YMCA, where Joe has a membership.
His counselor agreed to transport him with a group that included a staff member, but a problem arose when the individuals who wanted to join the group couldn't afford the membership fee.
When Roslyn told the officials at the YMCA about this dilemma, they gladly waived the fee for the special needs group.
"We look for ways we can help our community," said Tarrik Daou, the Y's aquatics and healthy lifestyles director.
The YMCA makes similar arrangements with organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, he said.
"The group comes here every Friday. They are a joy," Daou said of the ARC group. "They have fun in the pool and get a good workout."
Roslyn volunteers as a swimming coach and aerobics teacher for the "group of four," as she calls them.
Although the other three participants vary, Joe is a regular. He's friendly to everyone and likes playing beach volleyball with the swimmers and lifeguards.
"I like being there with my friends," he said.
Roslyn said she's seen those who come from ARC to the YMCA gain selfconfidence since the swimming program started a year ago.
At the beginning, Julia, an adult with Down syndrome, would only sit on the pool steps.
"She is as sweet as can be and always has a smile for you," Roslyn said.
After many weeks of encouragement, Julia finally waded into the water. Now she does stretching exercises and kicks with the group.
Ashley, a 30-year-old woman with little speech, likes to swim. Roslyn would wait at the end of the pool and say, "Way to go!" when Ashley swam the laps. Ashley started responding with the same words.
"Here's a nonverbal person participating, and all of a sudden we got a little talk from her," Roslyn said.
Tom, a 50-year-old man with special needs, can now swim 10 strokes without hanging onto the edge of the pool. He's currently working on a 20-stroke goal.
The participants encourage each other to swim and exercise.
"They cheer for each other and clap when someone succeeds," Roslyn said. "It's been a positive experience for them and for me."

The Shiite government in Iraq had begun cracking down on US supported Sunni Arab fighters in the turbulent area of Diyala province. The Sunni groups known as Awakening Councils have played a key role in dealing with militant insurgents, but apparently, they now face being attacked by the very government they were defending. A Sunni official said his forces had been evicted from all but seven of about 100 offices in Diyala. American military sources have confirmed the Shiite assault on Sunni forces.
A major problem facing Iraq is failure on the part of the Shiite Iraq government to support efforts aimed at incorporating Sunni fighters into the armed forces. This raises new possibilities for instability if the Sunnis become estranged from the current government and once again support militant insurgents. Iraq can not have a stable government until Sunnis become part of the armed forces as well as serving in key leadership positions.

concentrate utilizes all constructive thoughts and shuts out all destructive ones. The greatest man would
accomplish nothing if he lacked concentration.
We all know that in order to accomplish a certain thing we must concentrate. It is of the utmost value to
learn how to concentrate. To make a success of anything you must be able to concentrate your entire
thought upon the idea you are working out.
Do not become discouraged, if you are unable to hold your thought on the subject very long at first. There
are very few that can. It seems a peculiar fact that it is easier to concentrate on something that is not good
for us, than on something that is beneficial. This tendency is overcome when we learn to concentrate
consciously. If you will just practice a few concentration exercises each day you will find you will soon
develop this wonderful power.
Success is assured when you are able to concentrate for you are then able to utilize for your good all
constructive thoughts and shut out all the destructive ones. It is of the greatest value to be able to think
only that which will be beneficial.
Did you ever stop to think what an important part your thoughts, concentrated thoughts, play in your life?
This book shows their far-reaching and all-abiding effects. These lessons you will find very practical. The
exercises I have thoroughly tested. They are arranged so that you will notice an improvement from the
very start, and this will give you encouragement. They point out ways in which you can help yourself.
Man is a wonderful creature, but he must be trained and developed to be useful. A great work can be
accomplished by every man if he can be awakened to do his very best. But the greatest man would not
accomplish much if he lacked concentration and effort.

Thanks to Jenna Burrell of UC Berkeley for putting together a great panel "On the Ground Accounts of the Mobile Phone Revolution in Africa" at the 4S/ESST meeting in Rotterdam last week.
Jenna spoke about her current fieldwork (with an emphasis on mobile phone sharing) in Rural Uganda. Wesley Shrum of LSU shared some initial findings about increased sociability among mobile users in Nairobi. Tom Molony of the University of Edinburgh spoke about mobile use on the streets of Dar es Salaam, with an emphasis on how some small enterprises took advantage of the 'mobility' as opposed to simply the connectivity functions of the device.
I did a bit of a re-synthesis of my Africa studies, combining the small enterprises surveys with the open-ended interviews to illustrate how varied (and incomplete) our understanding of mobile's role in development remains. I contrasted the kinds of high-clarity results available from narrowly focused papers like Jenson's Digital Provide (which focuses narrowly but so effectively on one independent variable (mobile Use) and one depended variable (price of fish) with broader explorations. These broader approaches so far either place mobile use in context of other communication behaviors like face to face interactions and internet use, or expand the range of behaviors under examination to include both instrumental (enterprise/developmental) uses and intrinsic and/or social uses. This broadening comes with a cost, of course, as the 'impact' of mobile use is harder to isolate. Initial slides are here.
Unfortunately, a few others Mohammed Mohammed from Intel, Hsain Ilahiane from Iowa State University and our discussant Don Slater were unable to attend the panel and were each missed, both during the session and during the lively chats occurring afterward, over coffee.
Congrats to Jenna, by the way, for winning the Nicholas C. Mullins Award, given by the Society for the Social Studies of Science for "an outstanding piece of scholarship by a graduate student in the field of Science and Technology Studies." Her paper explored "West African Internet Scams as Grassroots Media Production"

There is nothing quite like something beautiful. And I'm not talking the cover of Vogue beautiful, but pure, glorious, awe-inspiring beauty, to lift the heart to God. I think as Kiwis, as casual and sometimes minimalistic that we can be, we can forget that easily…whilst wallowing in a wealth of false beauty among our consumer society.
However, this week in Africa I came across two beautiful churches – the Consolata Shrine and St Jude's, the church of a local Franciscan community – both in suburban Nairobi, Kenya.
Beauty can be sensed in many ways…natural beauty, moral beauty, the beauty of truth…
The CCC says (33) The human person: with his openness to truth and beauty, his sense of moral goodness, his freedom and the voice of his conscience, with his longings for the infinite and for happiness, man questions himself about God's existence. In all this he discerns signs of his spiritual soul. The soul, the "seed of eternity we bear in ourselves, irreducible to the merely material", can have its origin only in God.
Truly beautiful things can lead us to ponder the existence of this great mysterious God, Abba, Father…our whole origin. Pretty cool.
A beautiful church is a work of art in itself…and: (2501) Created "in the image of God," man also expresses the truth of his relationship with God the Creator by the beauty of his artistic works. Indeed, art is a distinctively human form of expression; beyond the search for the necessities of life which is common to all living creatures, art is a freely given superabundance of the human being's inner riches. Arising from talent given by the Creator and from man's own effort, art is a form of practical wisdom, uniting knowledge and skill, to give form to the truth of reality in a language accessible to sight or hearing. To the extent that it is inspired by truth and love of beings, art bears a certain likeness to God's activity in what he has created. Like any other human activity, art is not an absolute end in itself, but is ordered to and ennobled by the ultimate end of man.
Art can bear a certain likeness to God's activity…so…build beautiful churches, works of art, worthy of the God to whom worshipped is offered within. None of these 'budget saving' jobs!!
And a final note, may the soul of Fr Joseph Bertaina rest in peace. Fr Joseph, a Consolata priest of 82 years old, was found dead in his office in Nairobi last week, brutally murdered by three men and a women. He is an Italian missionary who has been in Kenya since the 1950s, evangelising the Gospel in a radical way. They announced at Mass this morning that one of his murderers was a former Vincentian Seminarian – all the more tragic. It reminds us that no one is free from the snares of the devil, even those who were on the path to a life of service for God can find themselves falling greatly. Pray for the soul of Fr Joseph, and for those who sent him to his death for the mere sake of stealing some petty cash.

This week has been a doozy. Right now, in fact, my feverish boy warms my lap, equal parts wiggly and spent.
Wednesday we leave Zack watching an ESPN documentary on Lolo. She jumps hurdles effortlessly while our babies sleep. We slip out the door, giggling at the unexpected freedom, and sit down to eat fried egg sandwiches and chicken and waffles, chatting with friends who understand about Tuesday night's incident and what-in-the-world-are-we-doing-here? After dinner, we sit on couches wrapped in blankets and talk about our kiddos. Expelled from second grade, suspended, in jail, pregnant, angry. Our lives are inextricably entwined with those of our neighbors and friends, and suddenly love your neighbor as yourself takes on an achingly tangible quality. Huddled under blankets against the cold front that blew in on the heels of tornadoes and flash floods, my chest feels tight, like the burdens of all our kiddos have coalesced and planted themselves squarely on my heart.
Pulling off the highway at our exit, I'm jarred from auto-pilot by the sight of four or five helicopters hovering above the neighborhood middle and high school. I flick the radio station to news, hearing that there has been a shooting at Price Middle School in our neighborhood. Only a few of the kids we know actually go to this school, but it's right next door to the high school that nearly all the Anteaters attend, and they too are on lock-down.
And, not for the first time this week, I feel hard-pressed to catch my breath for the unrelenting weight on my heart. Because even though the boy who was shot will be ok, even though no one "shot up our house," even though we gave money for food for Sabo, even though Zack is still the best fifteen year old I know despite his teenager-moments, even though a new day will dawn after night, there are still so many things in our city that betray a creeping and persistent darkness. And lately I'm feeling like we keep finding ourselves shoved more and more deeply into the cracks that these kiddos slip through.
But when I get in that place, when I get overwhelmed by the darkness, by the storm that so often surrounds us here, it usually means I have taken my eyes off of Jesus. Because here's the thing about cracks: they let the light shine through. So even when they feel broken, and dark, and even a little scary, I am learning that standing in the gap for "the least of these" means we bear the great privilege and responsibility of being a fissure for Christ's love to seep through.
Driving to pick Zack up from school today (do you sense a theme here? We've been spending a lot of time driving these days), I noticed the moon. Pale and barely discernable, white pencil sketched on brilliant blue sky. Beautiful, yes, and still bravely holding its place in the sun-soaked sky. But it seemed scarcely related to the glowing orb I noticed the night before, let alone the same creature. Only under the cloak of darkness do we most desperately long for the moon's light. And even then, it only reflects the light of the sun to a blackened landscape, casting dim shadows, dappled by craters.
And so it is with us. We hold our place, hoping to reflect the sun onto the darkness around us. And sometimes it is hard. Sometimes things seem especially dark. And yet we continue in our orbit, hoping that the light we reflect will shine through the cracks for the ones we are most desperately in love with. The ones who teach us Jesus, the ones who seem most likely to slip through the deepest cracks that society and life offer. Because just as we reflect the sun, so do they. And, like catching our reflection in a mirror, we realize that our lives are inextricably connected as we serve and follow a Savior who shines brightest in the darkness.
So tonight, as I type these words, the moon's light filters through the bent security door, latched for the night; and reflects on the shards of broken glass on the back window. I'm reminded where our security really comes from. And it's not from having our kids in a "safe" school. It's not from metal detectors, or youth groups, or mace cans, or metal bars on our windows. It's from following Jesus, from loving our neighbor as ourselves, from a Father who never gives up, who fills the cracks with His people to stop even one of His beloved children from slipping through, and who shines His light fearlessly and fiercely into the waiting and desperate arms of a broken world

Shadowflame's & Ripperman's JOE MARTINO: Comic Book Creator, Cancer Conqueror and Caring Dad
Parcbench.com recently sat down with Joe Martino to discuss comics, cancer, and family, which you can read in its entirety HERE, but here's an excerpt from it:
Comic books are famous for some hero staring down a certain death and being able to defy the odds, but when it happens in real life, it is heartbreaking. No one wants to hear the "C" word, especially if you are a young father and a comic book creator in the prime of your life, but Joe Martino, a Bergen County, New Jersey resident, had to.
Thanks to the support of his family, several medical professionals and the desire to breathe life into his characters "Shadowflame" and "Ripperman," Martino has a new lease on life and he spoke with Parcbench.com about his experience.
Also, check out his graphic novels "Shadowflame" and "Ripperman" which I encourage any comic fan to pick up.
DON SMITH: How did you get into comic books?
JOE MARTINO: I got into comic books because my cousin and uncle would read comic books. I remember they got me into Superman and then when I was 10 years-old, my mother got me subscriptions to Spider-Man and Hulk comics. I remember they were on television when I was growing up.
DS: Do you remember when you started creating comic books?
JM: Yeah [LAUGHS]. I was in fifth grade and I draw these diamond shaped Marvel Comic characters trying to do away with my fifth grade teachers. As a kid, it was just harmless fun, but if it happened today, I would be sent to a special skill. [LAUGHS].
DS: How has being an independent creator helped you?
JM: I don't consider myself a professional comic book creator, but I knew I wanted to write and draw my own comic book without someone looking over my shoulder. In 1996, I came out with "Shadowflame" which was published by CFD Publishing. It did not sell well, but I wanted to complete the four issue series for the two people who bought "Shadowflame" and wanted to see the story play out.
Again, please head over to Parcbench.com to read the entire interview!

So what exactly is the new asparagus? I was dining recently at a friend's house in London, who had bought some lovely dirty organic carrots from the farmer's market, scrubbed them, peeled them and cut them into batons, and was planning to serve them plain boiled, as an accompaniment to one of his reliably tasty shepherd's pies. We were musing on why carrots cut lengthways are intrinsically more appealing than ones cut across, into discs. We decided there is a one word answer to this conundrum: school.
This set us off, and as we were reminiscing about the delights of spam fritters (aka Brylcreem burgers), frogspawn (tapioca), and pimpled Richard (spotted Dick), I popped one of the carrot batons in my mouth. Far from getting the light, not-quite-raw-but-pretty-nearly crunch sensation which I was expecting, I found I could crush the slimy thing against the roof of my mouth with only mild pressure from my tongue. The carrots had been, to use a technical term much beloved of top chefs, 'boiled to buggery'.
Partly because Tom is a good cook, and a very good friend, and I felt he could take a bit of constructive criticism, and partly because, as a self-confessed kitchen tyrant I am simply unable to keep my food-related opinions to myself, I said to him, casually, and without drawing the attention of his other guests: 'Carrots a bit mushy, aren't they?'
'Well, yes,' he replied. 'But haven't you heard? Mushy is the new al dente.' This struck me as both witty and true enough not to deserve lampooning in Private Eye's new and delightful column, in which perpetrators of this lazy journalistic clichÀ (according to which something can't be anything worthwhile unless it is the new something else) are held up to ridicule. (The irony is that the neophiliacs column is the new Pseuds Corner.)
Of course, Tom wasn't aware just how true it was. He's not that much of a foodie. He was simply trying to distract from his careless and untypical error by being funny. He didn't know that, by rubbing his mushy carrots through a sieve, and whisking in a knob of butter, and a dash of olive oil, and stealing a little of the mashed potato from under the crust of the shepherd's pie, and mixing that in to mollify the excessive sweetness of the carrots, and seasoning judiciously with salt, pepper, and just a pinch of mild curry powder, he would create a vegetable side dish that any top toque would be proud to serve, in a rugby-ball shaped quenelle, on the side of his over-sized, over-priced piece of porcelain. Like I said, Tom didn't know that - so I had to do it for him.
Or am I out of touch here? I do live in Dorset after all, and don't make it up to town so often. Is it possible that vegetable purÀes of the kind I rustled up with such self-satisfaction in Tom's flat a few weeks ago are, in fact, 'so last year'? No doubt you will, good reader, write in and tell me.
The trouble is, of course, that food these days is such a slave to fashion, and fashion moves so fast that even the most loyal slaves are quickly out of a job. It's a knife edge this particular magazine has to walk every month. OFM needs to tell you what's new and exciting and important in the world of food, but not in such a way that it looks like it's been taken in by a bunch of noisy chefs who can no more resist a bandwagon than they can a bottle of Piedmontese truffle oil that's past its sell-by date.
Incidentally, don't believe any food writer who tries to tell you that purple sprouting broccoli, which comes gloriously into season this month, is the 'new asparagus'. That coveted title, as you see from my list below, goes to the ultra-trendy sea kale - also imminently in season, and coming soon to a very expensive restaurant near you. What PSB long has been, and always will be, is the poor man's asparagus. That may sound like a less thrilling billing, but believe me, it's ultimately more worthwhile. It's timeless.
We can only hope that the new-old thing is just a passing fad of a clichÀ, that will come to be replaced, soon enough , with something, well, newer. So that people will be able to say, 'xxxx [whatever the new phrase is] is the new new-old thing', and that'll be the last you'll hear of it.
To do you all a favour, and hasten the advent of such a desirable new-old-thing-free state of the language, I thought I'd flog the pernicious clichÀ, at least in the foodie context, to the point of exhaustion. So I hereby dedicate my colour-tinted side bar to an exhaustive list of every edible thing I can possibly think of that is or soon will be the new something else. And with a bit of luck, that'll be the last you'll hear of this clichÀ, at least as applied to food, in OFM this year - and indeed forever after.
'Yeah, right', by the way, is the new 'pigs might fly'.
So what's new? Hugh's top cliches
Sea kale is the new asparagus
Brussels tops are the new greens (it's a Europe thing)
Parsley is the new basil
Haut Savoie is the new Serrano (which was of course, the old Parma)
Tatsoi is the new Mizuna (which is still the new rocket)
Breadsticks are the new baguettes
Papardelle is the new ravioli
Agen (oil) is the new olive (oil)
Mousse is the new ice cream
Pears are the new apples
Juice is the new wine
Tequilas are the new single malts
Potatoes are the new tomatoes
Gravy is the new jus
John Dory is the new sea bass
Fish is the new meat
Meat is the new bread
Bread is the new cheese
Cheese is the new chicken

And how are they to be manifested by your waiting on in dunkerque?
And then dunkerque at the moment was sparkling with attractions.
When we entered dunkerque, the priest, Kilbride, and I went to an inn upon the sea front.
A score of your friends in dunkerque could have told you that she was daft about him.
He's gaun abroad, he tells me, and settles to sit doon aboot dunkerque in France.
M. Loubet, calm and smiling, was starting for dunkerque to meet his guests.
Then with an unexpected suddenness wails the panic-stricken appealing cry of "Mournful Mary" at dunkerque docks.
It was market day there, and the barge was crowded with passengers from dunkerque.
As he stepped out into the rue de dunkerque he scarcely questioned in what direction his feet should carry him.
We were told to return to Luxeuil, whence we were to fly to dunkerque.
The scene of a remarkable, though ignominious, retreat by the British army in World War II. Dunkirk, a town on the northern coast of France, was the last refuge of the British during the fall of France, and several hundred naval and civilian vessels took the troops back to England in shifts over three days.
Note: The term Dunkirk is sometimes used to signify a desperate retreat.

Hello Everyone,
I went through the forum and found a thread dated back to February about data mining, but it seemed to completely derail into something different entirely. I thought a new thread was in order.
I am running into a similar situation throughout testing that I would like to improve upon. I generally have a list of exploited boxes which can be actively connected to, browsed, and execute arbitrary code. The issue is that it is too labor intensive to manually rummage through shares and drives looking for relevant data and I'd like an automated process. I'm looking for something more robust than the dir command or grep, because I'd like to see more customized results.
For example, my original idea was to have regex structures with logical relationships to one another. The presence of these relationships would infer a higher degree of confidence than searching for terms independently. The hope is to reduce false positives and generate some sort of priority system. I was originally going to use meterpreter and make an extension using the existing framework and client blob, but I'm running into some issues with that approach.
Has anyone come across a tool like this before? I've been known to reinvent the wheel, so I'm reaching out here before I start development. Does anyone see problems/concerns with this strategy?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe/maybe not related, but I was recently reading a review of Metasploit Express which mentioned that it had a "Loot" feature to collect a bunch of standard information from 'sploited boxes. The review was a bit fuzzy on the exact details, but perhaps this is something you could use or extend if you get Metasploit Express. It may not enable the type of specific granular control you seem to be after, but it might be worth examining.

I am failing to think of a instance as to where mass data mining would be a legitimate use of a penetration test (at least from an ethical standpoint). I was hoping either the OP or someone else could shed some more light on this.

Aside from that, that the phrase "data mining" isn't what I use to describe seeking target data in a pen test. To me, data mining is more the process of retrieving previously unknown or undetermined data, by combining information from unrelated databases. For example, combining a database of car sales of a geographic area with a database for preschool-age children in the same area to come up with a data set of potential families looking to purchase new child car seats.

Thank you very much Lupin and Thorn. I do remember a few years back when the term data mining started to become popular mostly as a form of (usually illegal) gathering information for things such as marketing and profiling. I can see how the term can be used both ways, since it's such a loosely defined term. I also have a better understanding as to where this fits into a pentest now, mainly according to the terms agreed by the client. I can see where a client may not understand how at risk their company is to losing mass amounts of private information.
Thank you for all the responses. I can tell that I need to be very careful with my wording here
My situation is exactly like Lupin described. In particular, I am testing a very large number of hosts from inside the firewall (with expressed permission from the owner(s)). The goal is to assess the level of impact that a certain compromised host can have. For example, if I can somehow exploit an apache server, then that is clearly not desirable. The real impact comes from what I can obtain from that server, if anything, and any additional capabilities branching from that. If that server had PII, then it would have a higher impact and more critical to address first.
I saw a few other questions that I will answer in separate posts.
Let me clarify what I meant by a list of exploited boxes as I may not have considered the ambiguity. That list refers to boxes that have identified through the vulnerability discovery phase. This is after the network mapping phase which are both done under the watchful eye of the IT and IDS teams.
As for the term data mining, that was probably careless on my part. I hope we can get past the semantics though and try to come up with some ideas.

First of all, some purists might argue that what you're asking isn't really about pen testing per se, but more about the goal after you've penetrated the system/network.
Personally, however, I happen to think that it's a very important piece of what we do. Finding a given vulnerability might impress someone in the IT department that might be rectified (someday) when time and money are available, but tell the CEO you found a vulnerability on Port 173 on the server will make him start yawning in the middle of presenting your findings.
On the other hand, getting some information that is vital to the company (e.g. customers' credit card numbers) is the kind of thing that makes C-level people sit up and taken notice, and you can see them get heartburn right in front of you as they think about having to explain the potential loss to the board of directors. That's the kind of finding that will actually get things fixed.
However, my impression is that you have identified some potential vulnerabilities, but don't know exactly what you want to find.
What you need to find is can only be answered by determining the goal, and that is determined by asking "what kind(s) of things can the client not afford to lose without disastrous consequences?" It may be one type of data, say, the big proprietary company secret, (think of the formula for Coke-a-Cola) or multiple data types such as patient health data and/or patient credit cards, or could also be non-data such as the taking over or disrupting the process control for a chemical plant.
Of course, once you've determined what the goal is, you have to ask, "where does it live?" After all, looking at a secretary's PC and reading her tweets about how drunk she got last weekend and what she did with the fives sailors may be entertaining, (look for pictures!) but it isn't going to help you track down spreadsheets with the CFO's projections for the next year's secret plans for a potential stock split.
So ask yourself, are you looking at the CIO's workstation, or the workstation of an engineering team? Small servers running Windows or *nix? How about IBM I-series or even AS-400's mainframes? (Yes, there are still AS-400's out there holding a lot of data...) Or SCADA PLC's and RTU's?
Now that you've got those questions answered, you can determine what tools (if any) that you can use. It may be a matter of using a commercial tool such as Tripwire; you may be able to just do a simple command line wildcard search for something as simple as a particular file type; or perhaps you'll need to craft some custom packets using Scapy to make an RTU turn off a pump.
Once you answer those questions: "What is the goal?" and "Where does the data live that we need to find to achieve the goal?", you can start to determine what the tools you'll need. But until you have some direction, searching for any useful data is will be akin to searching for a black cat in a cellar at midnight without a flashlight.

Door Skin
How difficult is it to salvage a door SKIN? New ones are quite expensive and of questionable fit and quality. If it is impossible, or even really difficult, I might have to bite the bullet. I have a door that I cannot use because of hinges, etc., but the exterior is very good.
Fill us in here, why can't you use repair the door with the good skin?
What kind of doors are we talking about?
Door skins
Salvaging a door skin is a very difficult proposition at best.. :rolleyes: would be a lot better to fix the hinge mounts if necessary. Lots easier to do that even if the existing hinge mounts are torn or broken.
Just my take.. :sweat:
The beat-up door is from a '69 Nova which has bolt on hinges. The good door is from a '72 Nova which has welded hinges. There is no way to get the bolt-on type hinge to work on that door. Trying to cut the welds without trashing the door would be impossible. With the welded hinge door, there isn't enough adjustment to get it properly aligned. Tried that already. It looks like I'm up against too much here. New door skin in my future, I think.
Nova, I will bet you a dollar you could remove those hinges and put the bolt on ones. I do it all the time with Chevy Pickups, it is a major ***** but do-able.
If you take a good picture so I can see how the welds look I can tell you how to get it done.

Moving Beyond the 'Same Questions' on Women EntrepreneursBy
The Center for Women's Business Research (CWBR), one of the first initiatives to study women entrepreneurs in the U.S., is being recast as the Global Initiative for Women's Entrepreneurship Research (GIWER) and moving from McLean, Va., to Babson College's Center for Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership (CWEL) in Wellesley, Mass.
What in the world of academic acronyms is going on?
The New Entrepreneur turned to Patricia Greene, a Babson professor and former president of CWBR, to find out. "One of our frustrations is that we seem to asking the same questions," she says, noting that academic research on women entrepreneurs has traditionally pursued three themes: "Why don't women-owned businesses grow? Why can't they get capital? Do [women] build different types of companies?"
Bringing GIWER to Babson will make it easier for researchers to work with the Diana Project, which focuses on the difficulty women-owned business face raising equity funding, and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, which publishes an annual report on women entrepreneurs worldwide. Those two research efforts are also housed at Babson.
Greene hopes the collaboration will produce more robust research on the world's 187 million women entrepreneurs and, in turn, help drive new policy. Some tasks the initiative might take on include measuring the benefits women entrepreneurs bring to their communities, suggesting gender-based entrepreneurship policy, and studying the kinds of role models who make a difference for female business owners.
How does one pronounce the new organization's unwieldy acronym? "We say 'GEE-wer,' as in 'Gee, we're actually doing this,'" she says.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Equipment (how to use/where to find) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/equipment-how-use-where-find/)
- - new to prong collar, a few questions (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/equipment-how-use-where-find/436569-new-prong-collar-few-questions.html)
new to prong collar, a few questions
I never wanted to use a prong collar because of how they look like torture devices. Ive tried just about every other collar/harness and my 6month gsd still pulls wildly. I tried a flat collar, choke collar, e-collar, easy walk harness, the gentle leader, etc. She is so reactive to everything outside. I happened to come across a web site that changed my entire view on prong collars. Well, we ran out and bought one. I got a medium for my 55lb dog. I had to take several links out. I have it fitting pretty snug, but while walking her, it keeps rotating and I have to keep adjusting it. I dont want it pinching her trachea. Im afraid if I take another link out it will be tight enough to pinch her while getting it on her. She hates us putting collars/harnesses on in the first place. They say you should be able to fit 3 fingers under the collar than why is it rotating? Also, it worked wonders the first few times, but today she just started pulling and pulling hard. We did everything the trainers say to do to train with the collar (quick correction). Why would a dog pull on a prong collar? Could she be descensitized already? I loved the results, but want them to continue. They suggest hooking it to a collar incase a link comes undone. How can it come undone? Looks pretty sturdy.
You should pay the money and get a trainer. A dog wouldn't pull on an ecollar or prong if done correctly. You aren't doing things correctly so all you are doing is what you didn't want to do in the first place, torturing the dog. Your message isn't clear to the dog so he's just confused and he's getting his neck pinched.
And yes a prong that can twist around is way too loose.
Do you have it high on the neck, below the ears?
How are you walking with your dog?
If your dog is heeling on your left, and you have a 6' leash, put the handle in your right hand and hold the slack of the leash with your left, loosely so you can "pop" if you need to and to also keep the leash from getting tangled underfoot. The palms of your hand should face down, and see if this gives you more control. The "pop" should be a quick jerk to the side and not a constant tenseness or pull on the leash.
Are you giving the verbal command to heel when in this position?
Ideally you should find a good trainer to help you in person. A trainer can evaluate what else is going on with your dog, plus remember it is still a pup it's not going to be a calm mellow walk with a pup. I'd practice heeling for 10 min 2x a day.
Yes, already had a trainer working with her on the choker and e-collar. All my dog did was fight it. She did so perfect with the pinch the first few times. I was amazed. Yes it was up high on neck behind the ears and my left hand to pop the leash was about 10 inches from her collar. She just didnt respond to it much today. It worked perfect before. I think my husband keeps slight tension but he insists he isnt. I keep telling him anyway. Maybe I should get the herm sprenger.
Find a trainer that uses a prong and also uses positive reinforcement, you don't want to be using a prong forever.
You should find another more knowledgeable trainer. It's not the equipment, it's the training. You can't just keep upgrading and changing equipment in hopes of finding something that works.
I'd say splurge on the HS, because I know they're a quality product and will last forever - my stainless HS is around 20 years old and looks brand new. Good blunted tips on the prongs too, not like other crappy ones.
I've never had a problem with them coming undone, but because of the way they're made (links that aren't physically connected to each other) I've always thought it best not to tempt fate, and have a back-up collar on too. I like using an oversized choke chain because it won't interfere with the prong, it's just for security.
As to the trouble you're having with your pup still pulling, some dogs will keep pulling through the prong if they're intent enough. I think you'd need to go back to the trainer and see where you're going wrong - although I think you might be right about your DH and the constant tension. Good luck!
I have a similar problem but perhaps to a bit lesser degree
So, I feel for you.
It's very frustrating to have a dog pull and equally frustrating to have to correct the dog so often that neither of you are having any fun on the walks.
At least, in my case I know the drive that's tempting the dog to pull, he just loves to sniff the spots where other dogs pee along the route of our walk. He's identified mailboxes and street signs as the most visited "pee-emporiums" and gravitates towards them during the walks.
If I use a short six ft. leash he's a real pain and I have to walk in the middle of the road to keep him away from the scents. At a minimum I have to walk him with me near the curb and him nearer the center of the road and away from the scents.
But I also use a long-line (military calls them a 360) and sometimes allow him to scent all he likes, taking him back to close heel when an auto comes or when we're crossing a busy street. He does well on those walks and even comes to close heel pretty well. But then, he know he'll be able to go back to scenting in a minute or two once the cars are gone.
I've thought of giving up the long-line entirely. But that would mean going back to both of us not enjoying any aspect of the walk...unless someone else has an idea.
Oh, we don't use prong collars or e-collars; just choke collar.
Called Leeburg to order a HS. They suggested a 2.5mm prong small collar. I also ordered the dominant dog collar for backup. Also got the prong collar leash. Ill get it tuesday. Cant wait because she pulls like a sled dog without one.
I have a petco brand prong and an hs. They both work exactly the same. Chances are your frustrated and the dog knows it, and it's creating tension during the walk. The pup could be under exercised as well which will create an even bigger monster on walks. When Anna was learning (on her prong) she had good days and bad days, it's important that no matter what happens you stay consistent and keep trying.

What do we want to achieve?
We aim to help strengthen the cohesion of local communities, improve disadvantaged neighborhoods and counter exclusion. With a team of international experts, we also intend to develop transferable solutions and models for urban centers – and make them accessible to decision makers.
How are we implementing that?
For instance, we support initiatives in New York focused on affordable housing. Equally important for us is the revitalization of city neighborhoods through cultural and educational programs. Since 2005, the Alfred Herrhausen Society has explored solutions for the problems of urban centers, together with the London School of Economics and an international team of city planners, traffic experts, sociologists, architects and scientists in the Urban Age conference series.
What have we achieved?
- We have been working for over 20 years in the USA financing community development. Our commitment to the social enterprise sector aligns to our legacy of using principal capital to invest in distressed communities, with a primary focus on New York City and its underserved neighbourhoods. Deutsche Bank has consistently received the Federal Reserve's highest rating of "Outstanding" in recognition of its strong performance under the federally mandated Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
- Extensive research on cities and urbanization through the Urban Age Initiative of the Alfred Herrhausen Society: 5,000 participants in 14 Urban Age conferences since 2005
- Deutsche Bank Urban Age Award: honoring projects that contribute to improving quality of life in urban centers. Each award, worth 100,000 US dollars, gives initiators the opportunity to continue and expand their project.

By JENNIFER HORTONThe Wilson Post
If you have the opportunity, pick up the new book by Becca Stevens called Funeral for a Stranger, a book that can open your eyes to those who are around us and who we may have missed before.
The book is about a funeral Stevens was asked to officiate for a woman she had never met, but at the same time it is about much more.
"Already this funeral is a gift, and I haven't even walked through the door," Stevens writes.
Death makes us think, regardless of whether we knew the deceased. We think about our own lives, perhaps how we have lived and how we are living now. We think of our families and how they will be if we should leave this earth before they do. We think about dying and how each one of us must face our own inevitable deaths alone.
As for the strangers among us who die, this book talks about having compassion for those around us whose names or lives we don't know.
"I have seen water move rocks. I have seen thistles break through boulders. If water and flowers can move stones, surely love can," she says in her book.
Stevens knew nothing of the woman or her family's history, whether they had worshiped somewhere and if they had left the church for some reason. She says "the prayer of community always includes a request to mend the brokenness among us as well as within ourselves. The problem occurs when relationships are severed permanently. That is when strangers are born."
Funeral for a Stranger, published by Abingdon Press, has garnered good reviews including one from Publisher's Weekly that said "the book will be loving, spiritual balm to those who, regardless of Christian denomination, feel the pangs of loneliness and loss."
Stevens is an Episcopal priest at St. Augustine's Chapel at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. She is also founding director of Magdalene, which is a place where women with a criminal history of prostitution and drug abuse live and recover. The women of Magdalene operate a non-profit business called Thistle Farms and make bath and body products. Proceeds are used to operate Magdalene.
Stevens, along with the women of Magdalene, are the authors of Find Your Way Home: Words from the Street, Wisdom from the Heart. Stevens is also the author of Hither & Yon, Finding Balance and Sanctuary.
The book is available at area bookstores or online.
