iDefense VCP Submission V-ay6t2oua0k
Apache ActiveMQ Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Remote exploitation of a directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation's Apache ActiveMQ could allow an attacker to download files from a restricted directory, which can result in information disclosure.
Apache ActiveMQ is a messaging and enterprise integration patterns provider. The platform provides a Message Broker which handles communication between several different applications. Apache ActiveMQ supports many popular development languages including C/C++, Python, Java, and .NET. Apache ActiveMQ runs on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux and Solaris
For more information, see the vendor's site at the following link: http://activemq.apache.org
The vulnerability is due to a failure by the Message Broker to restrict directory traversals. As a result, sensitive locations outside the configured Message Broker restricted directory can be accessed by an attacker. No authentication is required to access the ActiveMQ Message Broker service.
Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain control over the affected machine.
By specifying a URL location with multiple directory traversal sequences such as "/\../\../\", it is possible for an attacker to access sensitive files hosted on the Message Broker Server using the privileges associated with the Message Broker process. An attacker may be able to read important system files, which will result in information disclosure, and can potentially lead to full host compromise.
iDefense considers this vulnerability to be of MEDIUM severity because the vulnerability leads to information disclosure.

Hi Dejan,
yeah, the issue has been fixed now.
Issue exists, when I downloaded from the same location and tested yesterday.
Thank you...
Hi Veerendra,
I just retested. The steps are following:
1. Download latest snapshot from https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/activemq/apache-activemq/5.4-SNAPSHOT/apache-activemq-5.4-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz
2. install and run
3. Try accessing http://localhost:8161//admin/queues.jsp
I'm getting 404 as expected. Can you try this latest snapshot, just to be sure we're looking at the same thing and send you log if you're seeing something else?
This workaround will be available in the next fuse 5.3.1-fuse-01-00 release (http://fusesource.com/), if anyone is interested.
I confirmed this issue exists in 5.3.1 version, however it seems to be solved in trunk (5.4-snapshot) due to upgrade of jetty to 7.x.
After a bit of investigation it turns out to be a problem with Jetty's ResourceHandler. To work around this problem in 5.3.1, follow these steps:
1. go to the {{${ACTIVEMQ_HOME}/webapps}} dir
2. make new dir called static - mkdir static
3. move index.html file there - mv index.html static/
4. change ResourceHandler to use static dir . To do that, edit {{${ACTIVEMQ_HOME}
/conf/jetty.xml}} and change ResourceHandler definition to
<bean class="org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ResourceHandler"> <property name="welcomeFiles"> <list> <value>index.html</value> </list> </property> <property name="resourceBase" value="${activemq.base}/webapps/static"/> </bean>

CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) Buoyed by higher oil prices, another rig-building company plans to resume operations to take advantage of increased drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, according to local officials.
Kiewit Offshore Services Inc. plans to spend $15 million and hire more than 1,000 employees at a 400-acre facility it is planning in Ingleside, said Ron Kitchens, president of the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corp. The company declined to comment.
Another rig builder, J. Ray McDermott S.A., said a week ago that it would create 800 jobs and reopen its Harbor Island facility, which closed in 1996.
Earlier this month, McDermott won a contract to be the general contractor for a deep-water platform for Murphy Oil Corp. Financial terms were not disclosed.
''We see an upswing in contracts in fabrication business, and it just made a whole lot of sense to reactivate our Harbor Island location,'' a company spokesman, Pierre DeGruy, told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
''There's a potential for a boom,'' said Randy Feikls, business unit manager for Bay Ltd., a fabrication and construction contractor. ''A lot of the projects were on the books a couple of years ago, but a lot were put on hold when oil prices fell down to $10 a barrel.''
The McDermott spokesman said, however, that the surge in rig building has arrived later than expected.
San Patricio County Commissioner Gordon Porter said if Kiewit resumes operations, it would boost a region hit hard by the oil bust in the mid-1980s.
''It's a tremendous project for the area,'' Porter said.
Kiewit, part of Norway-based Peter Kiewit Sons Inc., entered the Gulf market in the early '80s with the mammoth Bullwinkle offshore drilling rig.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

However, these same elements also highlight Demon's Souls flaws. Characters look good, but the animations are a little stilted. There are a variety of attack animations, but some look awkward. Weapons and armor are intricately detailed, right down to scuffs and other imperfections, so you want to keep looking at them. At the same time, the closer you look, the more you notice imperfections.
In general, Demon's Souls soundtrack is forgettable. Every once in a while, you'll catch a few notes of a dramatic score, though it doesn't last long nor does it stick with you. Most of the time, you're wandering the world with only the sounds of enemies and your own attacks to keep you company. Voice work is equally adequate, though it doesn't quite match up with character animations. It's similar to Fallout 3; there is a disconnect between the voice and the character speaking.

GOP: Don't blame us, blame the UAW
As General Motors announced the temporary closure of 20 plants Friday, Republicans who fought a White House-backed bailout plan want Americans to blame the United Auto Workers and think about Rod Blagojevich.
The GOP strategy, previewed in an "action alert" sent by a Republican lobbyist and outlined by Republican aides, is based on the idea that the best defense is a good offense — and the hope that the taint of the Illinois governor will rub off on organized labor.
Story Continued Below
"This is the Democrats' first opportunity to pay off organized labor after the election ... a precursor to card check and other items," said the memo. "Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor, instead of taking their first blow from it."
Hours after that memo was circulated Wednesday, five GOP senators went before TV cameras to declare their opposition to a $14 billion bailout for GM, Chrysler and Ford. The House approved the plan Wednesday night, but it died in the Senate Thursday night when only 10 Republican voted for a procedural motion to allow passage.
See Also
With world markets plunging on the news, the Bush administration quickly opened the door to using money from this fall's $700 billion financial-market bailout to keep Chrysler and GM alive into next year — an idea it had previously rejected.
Some Republican senators are resistant to that plan, too, saying the White House shouldn't do anything to help the automakers without imposing the restructuring requirements that would have been included in the congressional bailout plan.
Either way, GOP aides are already plotting their strategy to deal with any blowback on the bailout vote. They'll portray the UAW as intransigent; hammer away at the theme that unions don't effectively represent mainstream workers; and play up the involvement of labor officials in the corruption scandal revolving around the Democratic governor of Illinois.
The hope: By making Big Labor the bogeyman, Republicans will escape blame for whatever happens with the automakers and set themselves up well for the card check debate expected to hit Capitol Hill after the first of the year.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who played a central role in the negotiations that fell apart Thursday, put parts of the plan into play Friday.
In an interview with Politico, Corker said that the bailout plan lost any hope of Republican support in the Senate when the UAW refused to agree to a "date certain" on which the secretary of labor would begin the process of certifying that the wages paid by domestic automakers were "competitive" with those paid by foreign manufacturers with U.S. plants.
And in a press conference, Corker said a Republican alternative to the White House-backed plan could have passed both the House and the Senate if the UAW had "released" Democrats to vote for it.
"I hate to be so blunt," Corker said. "That's politics."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) echoed Corker's suggestion that the UAW's position on the wages issue was the "sticking point," and he washed his hands of responsibility for the Big Three's larger problems.
"None of us want to see them go down," he said in a statement, "but very few of us had anything to do with the dilemma that they've created for themselves."

Hockey fans love to blame the mid-90s' New Jersey Devils for inventing the trap.
But as the seconds ticked off the clock in Game 6 of the 1989 Stanley Cup final series at the historic Montreal Forum, Calgary Flames centre Doug Gilmour thinks he caught a glimpse of the widely despised defensive system.
"There wasn't much of a trap system in those days, but I think if you watched that last 30 or 40 seconds, it was pretty much the trap," Gilmour said.
"Just try to stop them and get it out."
Nobody in Calgary was complaining.
Not with their beloved Flames, protecting a two-goal lead after Gilmour scored his second of the game into an empty net, on the verge of beating the Montreal Canadiens to capture the Stanley Cup.
Gritty winger Colin Patterson and co-captain Lanny McDonald had also lit the lamp for the Flames.
Now, they just needed to keep the hometown Habs from mounting an improbable comeback.
"It was like, I don't care if we never touch the puck --we just can't let them ever get close," McDonald said. "But when that buzzer went to end it, oh my God, what a great feeling.
"When you're beat up from a long season but you know you've accomplished something that has taken a tremendous amount of hard work and sacrifice along the way, it's pretty cool."
It was 20 years ago today, on May 25, 1989, the Flames celebrated that 4-2 victory over the Canadiens, capping what remains the only championship season in franchise history.
It was the culmination of an exhausting journey -- a quest to catch up with the powerhouse Edmonton Oilers, to silence the doubters, to deliver a Stanley Cup to Calgary.
Towering defenceman Al MacInnis claimed the Conn Smythe Trophy after becoming the first blueliner to win the playoff scoring race, earning the nickname Big Mac.
Gilmour, soft-spoken sniper Joe Mullen and super sophomore Joe Nieuwendyk, who suffered a broken wrist in the second period of the deciding game, scored big goals.
Joel Otto won big faceoffs. Mike Vernon made big stops. McDonald and fellow co-captains Tim Hunter and Jim Peplinksi brought big, booming voices to the locker-room.
That night in Montreal, they celebrated the biggest on-ice achievement of their lives.
First-year assistant coach Doug Risebrough won four rings during his playing days with the Canadiens, but he'd never seen anything like this.
"I remember it distinctly, that it was one nobody would ever forget," Risebrough said. "It was the whole experience -- for the fans, the city, the team ... It was all firsts. It was a first for everybody."
The 1989 Stanley Cup final was a rematch of the '86 championship and a showdown between the NHL's top two regular-season squads.
The Flames, fresh off their second consecutive Presidents' Trophy-winning campaign, barely survived a first-round scare from the Vancouver Canucks before breezing past the Los Angeles Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Canadiens, backstopped by hot-shot netminder Patrick Roy, couldn't stop them, either.
"The playoffs are a little bit like having a baby. Nine months seems like a long time, but when it's over, you go 'Oh boy, that was quick,' " Peplinski said. "A series goes by awfully quickly and so does two, and three seems to go by quicker than two, and four seems to go by quicker than three ...
"It's like life, it just goes so fast. You need to really, really enjoy it."
Enjoy it, they did.
They celebrated with their wives, girlfriends and parents. They celebrated with the owners, scouts and support staff.
As the team boarded a charter back to Calgary, assistant trainer Al Murray snipped the locks on the Stanley Cup carrying case so they could continue to celebrate with the shiny trophy.
The party was on.
"I think (the party) is still going on, in some ways," Nieuwendyk said. "It went on for the entire summer. We had a lot of good times -- no question."

But 1953 was also the year Fox introduced the CinemaScope process, and it completely transformed the content as well as the look and sound of the company's (and other companies') features. After their first CinemaScope release, The Robe, earned $36 million on a $4 million investment, for the next several years Hollywood's A-budget movies were dominated by like-minded epic historical dramas. Fox themselves had King of the Khyber Rifles waiting in the wings to immediately follow The Robe before the year was out, and 1954 saw them release The Adventures of Hajji Baba, Demetrius and the Gladiators, The Egyptian, Prince Valiant, and Dťsirťe.
These CinemaScope epics are not held in the same high regard as Fox's early '50s films and in many respects they've become more dated than those earlier, standard screen-size, mostly black-and-white productions. Dťsirťe, a historical drama following the rise and fall of Napoleon (Marlon Brando) as seen through the eyes of Dťsirťe Clary (Jean Simmons), his one-time fiancťe, is a typical example.
In short, it's gorgeous to look at but without much substance. And yet, on Blu-ray especially such films still have much to offer. Like all of the early CinemaScope epics from '53-'55, Dťsirťe has in its favor an excellent all-star cast, a superb musical score coupled with impressively directional audio, originally in 4.0 magnetic stereo. Director Henry Koster and cinematographer Milton R. Krasner come up with superb widescreen compositions that make full and imaginative use of the new widescreen format, and the film's sets, costumes and overall production values are impressively lavish.
A Twilight Time release, Dťsirťe looks significantly better than previous home video versions. Fox's earliest Bausch & Lomb CinemaScope lenses produced only fair results, but the transfer shows the process off to best advantage, while the 4.0 DTS-HD Master Audio is excellent.
The film, adapted from Annemarie Selinko's bestselling novel, begins in 1794 Marseille where Joseph Bonaparte (Cameron Mitchell) and his general brother, Napoleon (Marlon Brando) pay a visit to the Clary family, silk merchants. Beyond the casting of Mitchell and Brando as siblings, an uncredited Richard Deacon portrays Dťsirťe's (Jean Simmons) older brother. Dťsirťe's older sister, Julie (Elizabeth Sellars), quickly becomes engaged to Joseph, while Dťsirťe finds herself attracted to Napoleon, this despite his frank, cocky, and presumptuous attitude.
Eventually they become engaged as well though he soon leaves for Paris and does not return. She follows him there only to discover, for the good of France, supposedly, Napoleon has instead become engaged to the wealthy Josťphine de Beauharnais (Merle Oberon). Dťsirťe contemplates suicide but gentle, soft-spoken General Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte (Michael Rennie) stops her, and soon he's in love with her.
As Napoleon's power grows and he and Josťphine become Emperor and Empress of the French, Dťsirťe in turn marries Bernadotte. But Dťsirťe and Napoleon's often prickly, tempestuous relationship mirrors the love-hate relationship between the people of France and their all-powerful ruler.
Dťsirťe looks and sounds great, but as drama it's as flat as a collapsed soufflť. The film was advertised as a lush, romance-filled successor to Gone with the Wind, and like that film's depiction of the Civil War and Reconstruction as seen through the eyes of a Southern belle, the focus here is on Dťsirťe, not Napoleon. There are no battle scenes and almost zero action of any kind. It's a talky, largely static film made worse via Dťsirťe's narrated diary entries, a clumsy device used to clarify exposition and history happening off-screen.
The flatness of Dťsirťe is all the more apparent when one considers the exquisite films Jean Simmons had done for directors like David Lean and Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger just a few years before. Even her role in The Robe was profoundly more interesting. The part of Dťsirťe was allegedly slated for Audrey Hepburn, and she at that age might have made believable and charming Dťsirťe's extreme naÔvetť and utter lack of guile. Simmons, naturally projecting more worldliness (consider her young Estella in Great Expectations) comes off almost like a halfwit here. When Bernadotte is offered the position of heir to the throne of Sweden, Dťsirťe protests, "But I'd have to learn Swedish!" And, en route, "I put on my woolen underdrawers and I'm still freezing!"
It's been said Brando didn't take his role seriously, and that he only accepted the part in order to avoid a $2 million lawsuit by Fox after walking away from the leading role in The Egyptian during rehearsals. Regardless, his Napoleon is a superficial, unengaged performance, which Brando himself later considered "the most shaming...of my life." He affects a Mid-Atlantic accent perhaps intended to project an air of culture but which only adds unreality to the performance. Ironically, the more traditional Michael Rennie comes off far more naturalistic and believable - he's even touching - than Brando's artificial Napoleon.
But Dťsirťe has its attributes. Koster and Krasner use the super-wide, 2.55:1 early CinemaScope aspect ratio superbly, with compositions that imaginatively use depth as well as width to good effect. Often one-third of the image will be a medium or medium close-up in the foreground, interacting with background action in the other two-thirds of the frame. One impressive shot finds an orchestra performing on the mezzanine level of a huge ballroom as the extravagantly costumed extras waltz below. In other scenes Koster and Krasner favor a more traditional tableaux approach, such as in the interesting self-coronation scene where Napoleon is declared Emperor of the French.
The film is lavishly appointed, with beautiful sets and even some second-unit footage shot in France, further supported by several elaborate matte shots. The score by Alex North (available as an isolated track) is likewise excellent.
Video & Audio
Released in 2.55:1 CinemaScope, Dťsirťe generally looks quite good. Color tends to be on the brownish side, and dissolves and other opticals are notably softer, but overall the image is far more detailed and truer than I was expecting. It's not quite up to the level of Fox's Blu-ray of The Robe but it's in that general ballpark, and significantly better than weaker color/'scope titles on Blu-ray like Forbidden Planet and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The 4.0 DTS-HD MA really brings out Alex North's score while there is much directionality to the dialogue and sound effects. No alternate language options, and no subtitle options, regrettably.
Extra Features
Supplements are limited to an isolated score track and a trailer that appears bumped up from standard-def. Helpful liner notes are provided by Julie Kirgo in a small, full-color booklet accompanying the disc.
Parting Thoughts
Ironically, the $2.7 million Dťsirťe, with rentals of $4.5 million, was commercially a far bigger success in its day than Marlon Brando's other movie that year, On the Waterfront. But Dťsirťe has many interesting components, and Twilight Time's Blu-ray is the first home video release in which these attributes can truly be appreciated. Highly Recommended.

The Likes list showed me places I had saved, and here it gets interesting. The app syncs with the Scout.me Web site. Logged into both the Web site and the app, I could look up and save destinations at my PC, then go to the app and sync those saved destinations.
Once I had a destination in the app, Scout showed me multiple routes in a tabbed format, making it easy to preview each one quickly. That interface works much better than with Google Maps, which only previews one, and begins navigating with any alternatives you select.
Trying out a few test destinations, Scout supplied identical routes to Google Maps for longer runs where freeways were involved. However, for a starting point and destination within the urban chaos of San Francisco, the routes differed. Neither offered the route that I, as a local, would take, but all seemed feasible. I had previously used Scout to navigate around Los Angeles, and was particularly impressed how it avoided traffic-congested freeways.
I noticed that, even for identical routes, Scout showed a slightly later ETA then Google maps, as it seemed to take a more conservative approach about driving times.
For turn-by-turn directions, Scout is as good as any navigation app I have used. Limited to the relatively small screen of a phone, it showed the map with turn guidance in a graphic at the top. I could also tap a button to show the list of turns for the route. Of course, more useful when I was driving was voice guidance, which had a pleasant voice telling me where and when I needed to turn.
Scout is primarily a car-focused navigation app, although it can be set to show pedestrian navigation. Missing is public transit or bicycle navigation.
If you commute by car, I highly recommend giving Scout a try, especially as it's free. Just the fact that it can give you proactive warnings about traffic may make the difference between extra wasted time sitting in your car, driving at 5 mph or a less stressful easy run home.
Compared to Apple Maps or Google Maps, I like that Scout gives more help on finding destinations than just a freeform search box. The history list is very useful, as is the website syncing. In this regard, Scout is much more capable than the preinstalled competition.
Scout comes as a free download for iOS, Android, or Windows Phone.

Marquis finishing tough season strong
Marquis finishing tough season strong
Marquis, who will start Friday in Philadelphia, has pitched well in his past five starts, although he has just a 2-3 record to show for it. An example of his tough luck came Saturday, when he took the loss against the Marlins despite striking out eight and giving up just two runs over six innings.
"He's been real good," Nationals manager Jim Riggleman said. "He's doing what we thought he'd do when we signed him. He's giving us innings. He's pitching with confidence [now] that his arm feels good."
Marquis, 32, signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the Nationals as a free agent after winning 15 games last season with the Rockies. But his elbow started aching midway through Spring Training, and he had to go on the disabled list after three regular-season starts in which he was 0-3 with a 20.52 ERA.
The right-hander is 2-5 with a 3.77 ERA in seven starts since coming off the DL. He has won two of his past three decisions and has allowed only eight runs over 30 innings in his past five outings.
"So far, so good," Marquis said. "My elbow is feeling better and better."
Marquis is 0-3 against the Phillies this season, but two of the losses were before he went on DL. He allowed four hits and a run over five innings on Aug. 20 in his most recent start against them.
Marquis will pitch on Friday even though he is Jewish and it will be Kol Nidre, the start of Yom Kippur. He previously pitched on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, while with the Braves and Cubs.
"I made the decision when I came up to the Majors that I wouldn't miss any starts," Marquis said. "Your team expects you to do your job. That's the approach I take."

I know it's been pretty quiet around these parts recently, but I hope you'll forgive me when I tell you why. I have some exciting news! Next week, I plan to offer a digital pattern of my own design. Verity will be the first pattern from Moxie Patterns.
This is one of the secret projects–referenced in my beginning of the year goals post–that I've been working on this year. This summer I've made several variations of my favorite self-drafted design, some of which I have yet to share. You've seen so many variations of this pattern (see this post for other variations that I've made over the years) because I've been testing and tweaking it. I'm finishing up a combination dress-shirt pattern, with several different neckline and sleeve options. I tried to hold out until the pattern was completed to make this announcement, but I just can't hold it in anymore. I was hoping to have it ready to release on my birthday (this past Thursday), but I didn't quite finish in time. I plan to release the digital pattern in PDF and copy shop versions within the next week or two.
The first release of the pattern will include sizes XXS-L. However, I am working on adding more sizes (XL-8X), which will be available very soon after. Moxie patterns are graded from two sample sizes (S and 4X) for a better fit, which is why I'm still working on XL-8X. In the future, I plan to make the full size range available at first release.
I have several other patterns in the works, as well as plans for paper patterns cut to measurements by next year. Since I know some of you will be wondering, if you are interested in pattern testing for future patterns, you can send an email to me at email@example.com. I also started a Facebook page for announcements about Moxie Patterns until I can get a Website up and running.

does anyone else just use wax anymore, even on standard hpsbs? i feel like i might be the only one...not a single board in my quiver has a pad on it. sure i've experimented w/ them here & there, but i inevitably always go back to simply wax, either by selling the board or ripping the pad off. i just don't see the benefits...

no pads/traction-just wax
if you dont see the benefits in having a track pad with a tail block on your surfboard, you may not be surfing hard enough..tail blocks are the only reason why i need a tack pad on my short board..for everything else there's wax.

I don't use traction pads or leashes and I better not catch any body boarders at my lineup.
Just kidding. When I first saw the post title I thought for sure it was gona be someone acting high and mighty because he didn't use a traction pad Glad to say it wasn't the case.
I use a traction pad on my boards, but not on my longboard and I've only seen one person ever with a pad on their longboard. But I don't think you were talking about longboards.

Tailblock on a pad is pretty crucial for me when youre spinning (reverses,air reverses) even just hits off the lip but im not going hate on your call of just wax its just preference and style of surfing
Mar 18, 2013, 11:49 AM #5
I only put pads on my hpsbs and grovelers. Wax only on my fish, log, and big wave boards. I feel like unless I'm pushing my tail around... using a lot of lateral force... I don't need it. For me, fish and logs are about carving and flow, and gun's are about driving off the rail.
I personally like tail pads/tractions pads. Although I totally agree that they are not necessary. It is personal preference, but I like the way they feel under my foot. Especially when I have thick booties on, I can feel the board more and helps me get a better idea where my feet are exactly without having to waste time looking while on a wave. Also, for whatever reason, I feel like adding a tail pad adds extra float to the board. I know it doesn't really, or if it does its so minor it doesn't really have an effect.
I removed the pad off one of my favorite boards to do some ding repair and rode it again before I put a new pad on. I actually really liked it and had a couple good sessions. But then I found myself at the surf shop this weekend and bought a new one. I immediately put it on and used it the next day.
I say go for the tail pads... They make you look cool

Maybe I'll line up like a dozen of them on my log. Can't think of a better use of $400.

I've never had one, always have gone with just wax, my 1st board ever was 6'4" BAT and didn't have one but that was over 15 years ago, my shortest board now is a 6'10" WRV FunFish and i've never put anything but wax on it, but I have been thinking about getting one for my new board, which is a 6'4" Coil Flashback Fish and thought it may be appropriate for this particular board but haven't 100% decided if I want to have one or not. It's got the new "kick" technology so the extra grip from the textured surface may make it so you don't need one at all, but it seems most people have one so IDK.
I put traction on kook's windshields!! Locals only!!!

Some clever folks have created a magnificent "mash-up" of Sesame Street's resident pastry enthusiast, Cookie Monster, and the iconoclastic performer Tom Waits' song "God's Away on Business" from his 2002 album, "Blood Money." (Waits' song also appeared in the 2005 film, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.)
Waits' new album, "Bad As Me," his first new studio album in seven years, drops October 25.

Happy Friday! I am linking up with the DC Trifecta Friday Five again today.
Eat Pray Run DC
Mar on the Run
You Signed Up For What?
When I began blogging again in September I started finding and following a few Running Bloggers but most of them were from the US. When I would come across another Canadian Blogger who was also a Runner I would get rather excited because Canadians get other Canadians. We log our runs in kilometers, not miles; ask for the bill, not the check, when dining at our favorite restaurants; lead the world in Maple Syrup and asteroid impacts; our Mountain Dew contains no caffeine; we throw the letter "U" into words like Honour, Labour and Neighbourhood because we can, and if you sell edible underwear in your Adult Entertainment store in Toronto you are required to have a food licence. We invented the telephone, television, the zipper, the music synthesizer, and basketball . When we run outside in the winter we wear our toques to keep our noggins warm while being chased by polar bears and wild moose. OK, maybe that last part was stretching the truth a little but that's because most Canadian's are all about not taking life too seriously and enjoying a Double-Double at Timmie's with a friend or two.
Oh and a little FYI for my US readers – here in the Great White North we pronounce Z as ZED, not ZEE and the word "about" sounds way more like "a boat" than "aboot." when spoken by a Canadian eh.
When I found out that Crystal of Running with Rhyno had created a Facebook Group for Canadian Running Bloggers (and those who love them) I nearly peed my pants with excitement! There were a lot of Canadian Running Bloggers here on the world wide web and that makes my Maple Syrup-Asteroid Avoiding-DoubleDouble-Mountie Loving heart happy!
CRB is open to all Canadian running bloggers (& their fans). No passports required.
This group was created to recognize and celebrate the distinctly Canadian running experience. You run in -25C and call it "not so cold today." You clock your distance in kilometres not miles. You run in the four seasons and have a wardrobe for each one. You may see everything from a moose to a bear on your 5K run.
Yup, that's the Canadian experience.
This week's 5 for Friday is all about (<— see what I did there?) highlighting some of these great Canadians and their blogs I have been introduced to in this group.
Today I am sharing 5 Bloggers from Ontario, Canada that I am following and think you should follow too.
1. Bexx at Miss Bexx – Bexx is a sports fan, runner, joker, socks-rarely-matcher, lover of neon coloured things; fitness advocate, coach, wine marketer, dreamer and believer. Follow Bexx on Twitter.
2. Stephanie at Stephanie Runs – New to the Blogosphere and Motherhood, Stephanie began blogging in December about her love of running, fitness, cheese & good food. She is a personal trainer and a new mom. Follow Stephanie on Twitter
3. Kenny at A Whole Lot of Soles – Kenny has been running long-distance for 10 years and blogging since 2005. He has run 26 marathons (26!) and is still having fun. Follow Kenny on Twitter
4. Patrick at The Rendezvoo Point – Patrick has blogged since 2007 and is currently training for his first Ultra Marathon. I have followed Patrick on Twitter for some time now and only just realized he blogs too. Follow Patrick on Twitter
5. Brian at Strides – Brian has blogged about running since 2012. Humble and thoughtful, he writes about his running with humour and honesty. Follow Brian on Twitter
Next Week on 5 for Friday – 5 New to Me Canadian Bloggers from Alberta!
Have you had the opportunity to meet up with other bloggers in your neighbourhood through Facebook or any other groups?
Have you met with any Bloggers in real-life? Was it everything you expected?

Thanks for thy present! None sweeter or better.
A poem for Thanksgiving Day
John Greenleaf Whittier 9 p.m., Nov. 22
"Yes, yes, I know you're hungry...ahhh, and here comes dinner!" --Alice Cooper, from "Feed My Frankenstein"
Having a crock pot in my home makes cooking a bit easier. Just toss in your sauce (or cooking medium), food, and spices, set for "low" heat, and go on your way rejoicing. Soups, stews, chili, sauerbraten, corned beef...slow cooking brings out the flavor, tenderizes tough cuts of meat...and makes dietary changes much easier to transition into.
One of my New Year's resolutions was to cut back on my intake of red meat. Having a crock pot is helping me to implement my resolution...slowly. Cutting anything off "cold turkey" is about as wise as dancing the tango in front of a live Claymore mine--while fiddling with the detonator switch!
However, slow substitution of ingredients makes changing my eating style easier. I'm eating a lot more bean-based dishes now. In fact, tonight's dinner will be a melange of navy, red, and pink beans; ground turkey; marinara sauce; spices; and a dash of oil. I "speed-soaked" the beans overnight in my crock pot (two hours on high heat, stir, the rest on low heat), then mixed in the rest of the ingredients (after letting the beans cool down before draining and adding the other ingredients). Two more hours on high heat (to cook the ground turkey), then on low heat until one hour before serving.
Last night, I decided to try a new idea--no meat in the stew. What I did was speed-soak the beans overnight, drain them, then added carrots, sauerkraut, marinara sauce and a touch of canola oil. I cooked them in the pot for the rest of the day, then served it up and ate. Surprisingly good!
(Both recepies will be written up in the "Recepies" section later, btw).
Frankly, I still like to grill--but adding beans, sauerkraut (and other vegetables), and experimenting with different sauces is making my titrating off of red meat much easier. If I need sausage for my Beanie-Weenie, I use turkey franks or turkey smoked sausage. Experimenting with different types of beans gives different flavors and textures.
I cannot see me giving up red meat altogether...but in at least a year, I'll be only eating it one-to-two times a week. Right now, I do have a "meatless pot-luck" once a week (found out that sauerkraut gives just as good a texture, plus marinara sauce gives most of my bean dishes a tasty kick). Most of what goes into my pot is still "cook what I buy, buy what I can afford," and dry beans (depending on the bean-in-question) are nice-and-cheap.
Tomorrow: tres frijolies refritos con pavo molido y sal (3-bean refried beans with ground turkey and salt). Another experiment on the road to better nutrition!
(BTW--my ground turkey either is Zacky Farms, Safeway brand, or Henry's (when I can afford it). Turkey franks are either Zacky or The Turkey Store (if Hebrew National made them, I'd buy them!).
Good job, LPR!! Beans are one of the healthiest foods you can eat and giving up or eating less red meat is good for the heart and soul.
crock pots r perfect in this weather Robbie...think i'll dig out mine and do some beans up...don't forget the onions...lots of Vitamin C in them...all those antioxidents
cornbread for 2

Small Cap Value Report (Mon 6 Feb 2017) - ACSO, PEB, PUB, BOO
Good morning!
Friday's late report is here - apologies for the delay in posting it.
In it, I had a look at;
NetDimensions Holdings (LON:NETD) - 100p cash takeover bid
Zamano (LON:ZMNO) - business being shut down, turning into a cash shell
Johnston Press (LON:JPR) - trading update
On to today's trading updates then.
accesso Technology (LON:ACSO)
Share price: 1545p (pre-open, so likely to change later)
No. shares: 22.3m
Market cap: £344.5m
Trading update - this update for calendar year 2016 reads positively. Key points;
- 2016 revenues to be in line with expectations.
- 2016 profit ahead of expectations.
- "The Board is also pleased to report a strong start to 2017 where all accesso business lines are reporting good momentum."
Forecasts - one broker has put out a note this morning, saying that it is increasing its profit forecasts by 2-3%.
Valuation - the Stockopedia rolling 12 month forecast PER is currently showing 36. That's a warm rating, but this market loves growth stocks, so it's not outlandishly expensive relative to other growth companies.
Mind you, to maintain that rich PER, the company will need to keep growing at a fair old clip.
My opinion - Accesso does seem to have sewn up a decent niche market, globally, largely to itself. It has recurring revenues, and high quality customers, so I can see the attraction of the shares, and indeed it's one I held for a while after the blockbuster deal with Merlin was announced.
Overall, I think it's a high quality company, with a price which reflects that. I'm not convinced that there's enough growth on the table to justify re-entering at the moment, at the current price.
Pebble Beach Systems (LON:PEB)
Share price: 12.25p (down 29.5% today)
No. shares: 124.6m (estimated from recent holding in company RNS)
Market cap: £15.3m
Trading update (profit warning) - this company only adopted its new name on Friday last week, so it's a pretty inauspicious start to the newly-named company to put out a profit warning on day 2.
This company is what's left of Vislink, with the original core business being pending a disposal, which itself is looking decidedly risky & uncertain. In my report here of 16 Jan 2017,…

I wonder how practical that will be going forward. (a) Presumably they must be anticipating a v. big uplift in US turnover and (b) given President Trump's plans to hit importers.

In my view there's now something of a credibility issue with Advanced Oncotherapy's management. It sounds like they've completely rolled over in their disagreement with Sinophi and have even returned Sinophi's deposit. This suggests to me Sinophi must have had contractual grounds to break the deal perhaps over failure by Advanced Oncotherapy to meet certain developmental milestones. When Sinophi first announced their intention to terminate the deal Advanced Oncotherapy were still claiming that Sinophi were trying to place the machines elsewhere and when the discrepancy in statements was pointed out, through I think great work by Tom Winnifrith, Advanced claimed that the parties must have taken away different interpretations of what was discussed. That doesn't build confidence!

The market seems to have liked the contract announcement by Water Intelligence (LON:WATR) today, Up 20% as I write, having been higher. I looked at it after Paul mentioned it a few weeks ago and bought some for the dollar earnings and low PEG. It's cheap enough to be an attractive takeover target.

cholertonandrew. I agree one should not write off the technology - all their tests have succeeded and on time. Howard de Waldron Trust would not have been making the big investment in the building modifications, currently underway, to the Harley Street properties without a lot of due diligence. Sinofi, as I understand it, seem to be an intermediatary selling it to the chinese hospitals with whom AVO had signed a type of agency deal. Getting rid of them clears the decks for AVO to deal direct with the hospitals in all Asian countries.

What do readers think? Should I cash in my chips now, or hold out? It was such a pity to miss out on big upside on LVD, that I'm tempted to hold out here with Punch, just in case.
Apples and Oranges. One decision must not influence the next.
From what you (Paul) have told us about 1) position size 2) selling early an obvious suggestion is staggered sales.
You excel in forensic accounting where you can reach a black or white decision but not in evaluating investors' emotions which is more the Eliot Wave Technical analysis area. Furthermore in this case there are the moving parts of corporate action.

Hi Hederz,
Hope you don't mind a general off topic spread betting question. You said in the past your downfall was being overleveraged on illiquid small caps. I am at the stage where financially it would make sense for me to trade through spread bets. The deposit factor for medium size trades seems to be about 60%, so if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to achieve the sort of leverage that near wiped you out?
Well, my problems with spread betting occurred about 10 years ago now. Back then, they didn't have tiered margin requirements as they do now. The newer tiered margin system is vastly better, and safer, than the old system.
So what used to be the case is that the margin requirement was set by the market cap. So my big holding at the time was Indigovision, and it was margined at (from memory, I think) 20% at one spread bet company, and 25% at another. So I had this big holding in the company, which was split into two, at those 2 difference companies.
When the financial crisis really hit, the market cap of Indigovision fell heavily, and it dropped under whatever the threshold was (maybe $50m mkt cap, I can't remember exactly), and that triggered it instantly rising from 20% margin, to 40% margin at one SB company. Clearly that caused me an absolute nightmare, so I had no choice by to sell heavily at whatever price we could get, to reduce the spread bet.
As the share price plunged, this just increased my margin calls. By the time we'd hit the worst of the crisis in Sep-Oct 2008, all my equity had been wiped out, and I couldn't sell on the way down because there were no bids of any size in the market at all - liquidity had just completely dried up.
What I learned from it, was as follows;
Putting all that together means that I'm confident there is no chance of a repeat of the disastrous mistakes I made in 2008.
Hope that helps.
Regards, Paul.

Hi Reubencash207,
Paul would you yourself consider shorting PEB or are you not a fan of shorting due to the possible infinite downside?
No, I don't usually short small or micro caps - it's too dangerous, and sucks out too much mental energy, which can be better deployed on other things with more upside.

I caught up today with Tavy Ronen, co-owner of The Yarn Co., a yarn shop in Manhattan, to discuss how her small business markets its products around the world using Facebook. The Yarn Co. has six employees, including Ronen and her brother, the other co-owner. Ronen was on a panel at the Facebook Fit conference for small businesses Tuesday at Skylight Clarkson Square in New York. I asked Ronen how she chooses which countries to market to using the social network, why she doesn't like to schedule posts ahead of time, how lookalike audiences has helped The Yarn Co. boost its number of Facebook fans in only three weeks, and more.
AF: How do you decide which countries to target when you use Facebook advertising, as well in terms of your overall marketing strategy?
Ronen: The truth is that we didn't decide. The truth is that I think the markets decided for us. So we sort of had an idea that instead of trying to compete in the neighborhood, we would instead try to compete in the international arena. So we advertised in as many different countries that we could write ad languages for. We kind of said, "Let's see who's interested." It was fascinating because we could have never predicted. The countries that we thought would be most excited weren't necessarily for one reason or another. Later on, we figured out that some of it might have to do with customs and duties. Some countries we never would have guessed. We have a huge following in Argentina. We started with the obvious choices. We started with major cities. We found that some cities that we wouldn't have thought of really were huge for us.
AF: Which countries or cities have not been successful in terms of Facebook advertising?
Ronen: Japan.
AF: Why do you think that is?
Ronen: I'm not sure because we tried very hard to create ads that we thought would appeal to the Japanese aesthetic, so things that were more similar to the type of Japanese fashion. Maybe it's competition. Maybe they're saturated. I really don't know. It's been a learning process. Mexico is huge. So is Brazil, and one of the Scandinavian countries, but I don't remember which.
AF: Was there one post that had the most reach, or whatever your business goal was — that was the most successful for you?
Ronen: We had a pair of crocheted boots that were extremely colorful. It wasn't even ours. It was a photo that we found. We credited the designer. It just went viral. We wouldn't have been able to predict that.
AF: How many people work on The Yarn Co.'s social media?
Ronen: My brother and I.
AF: Do photos draw the most engagement for The Yarn Co.?
Ronen: Yes, it is a visual feel, because we are about artisanship and artists and color — different yarns and fabrics. Everything there (on the Facebook page) is visual.
AF: Do you schedule your Facebook posts?
Ronen: We post three to five times per day directly to Facebook. We don't like to use the scheduler.
AF: Why?
Ronen: We think Facebook is like a crowd. We kind of watch all day long, and there are ebbs and flows. We see if we are getting interaction or if we're not, and we're kind of responding. So, when interaction dies down for something, that's when we'll post something different.
AF: Can you give any examples of Facebook posts that haven't done so well and lessons learned?
Ronen: Yes, anything where the visual wasn't specifically within our aesthetic — a set aesthetic that we've set up — hasn't been responded to that well. We think that we've kind of created a custom audience that's looking for a specific look, specific triggers, specific stimuli, and when we are away from that, even a little bit, we don't get that kind of response.
AF: You're using custom audiences and lookalike audiences. How is that going so far?
Ronen: I know that has been hugely helpful. We had a big jump in numbers — probably between 500 and 1,000 new fans.
Small and midsized businesses on Facebook: Have you had any similar experiences?

3. Project shows how code can be obfuscated. DLL generated by the project contains obfuscated code. This is a pure example of how SharePoint projects should be released if your goal is to earn money. This is for demonstration purposes only. Obviously if your
idea is very unique and your business plan is guaranteed to make you a millionaire, you would like to use a paid good quality obfuscation service. This project gives you the code that you need to implement obfuscation and licensing.
4. Search results automatically refresh after a set period of time that can be set in the web part.
Download webpartkeys.doc from the downloads section. It contains the 50 keys that you can issue to your users. Webpart validates license key entered by the user against this collection. Webpart asks for key only on first usage. It again asks for the key
when the license key expires. Expiration time can be set in the project.

One of the most popular strategies for investing in emerging markets has been to avoid them. That is, forget about China, India and Brazil, and instead invest in North American- and European-based multinationals that have expanded aggressively into these countries.
That way, you get exposure to fast-growing economies with rising consumer spending. And you don't have to surrender the management talent and higher accounting standards normally associated with developed markets.

What's Hot Today
in the episode 10 sessions, when stellas telling ted about how shes been to 1 party in the past year, and she was at a st pattys day party, and it was awful so she left early. BAM! hard clear evidence. reference- its the episode 10 sessions, and its at like 15:48
I was watching ep 10 of season 2 signals stamina, and if uv seen the ep then u know they talk about how couples always wana be at home together and signals can stay up late, Well in this ep at the end, at Barney bors wedding, Marshall says to Lily something like ââ¬ÅI gotta get the wife homeââ¬ï¿½ witch means that there married at this point. They then go home and ask ted and Robin if they wana split a cab, and they say they got energy left and start to dance. As we havnt seen anything about Barneys bros wedding in season 3, I can only assume from this that Ted and Stella spilt up and Barney does not get with robin, or does and they split up b4 his bros wedding. Of cores this could have all of meant to be explained during the 3rd season but the writerââ¬â¢s strike interrupted it. Or I could just be looking way 2 far in2 the show. What u all think?
Many people are commenting on the GREAT season finale of How I Met Your Mother. Here are some of my predictions: First of all, I must say I have very mixed feelings on if Stella is "the mother." Yes: 1. Ted described that night as a miracle: why would he do that if he got the biggest rejection of his life. 2. Also the possible clue with the writing being the same in both Stella's house and the place where future Ted is telling the story. No: 1. The umbrella is no where to be found in the story which is a pivotal part of the story. It has to be in there somewhere, and yet it has not even been mentioned since the St. Patrick's Day episode. Plus, no one should fret about what will happen next season. There is Ted finally marrying possibly. We find out that Barney actually loves Robin, and who knows, someone is bound to have a kid next season (I have no reason to suspect, but then again in every friends based sitcom, someone has a kid).
You might have expected to find the cliffhanger of the evening on the season finale of Gossip Girl over on the CW. No such luck. Instead, we received our killer cliffhanger from the good people over at How I Met Your Mother . Spoilers Included Ted proposed to Stella! (and we are still waiting on a response) So I thought this was a great season finale (with some adorable Ted/Barney feuding resolution and some even more hilarious than usual Marshall antics), but I can't help but thinking to myself, "Sarah Chalke (Stella) has 18 episodes of Scrubs to film. Sarah Chalke has 18 episodes of Scrubs to film..." I also have been loving Sarah Chalke's work on HIMYM thus far, but unless she has one of those Time Turner thingamaboppers (a la Hermione in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)...you see where I am going with this? I can't help but assuming that Stella's answer is going to be a big, fat N-O! Make your predictions now...what will be Stella's answer to Ted's proposal when the show returns? Do you think Stella could be the Mother?
Ted has a brush with death, which makes him evaluate his relationship with Stella.
Tonight was the big night (or the second big night, more accurately)! Britney Spears was back on How I Met Your Mother , reprising her role as the slightly clueless, slightly stupid, completely Ted-obsessed Abby. I want to hear your reactions to her performance. Mine are as follows: I know you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you. What I mean is...I know that How I Met Your Mother owes a large part of its renewal to this newfound Britney Spears partnership, so I won't rip her apart. That being said, I can't help but feeling like whenever Britney speaks that she sounds very forced. It's like she's trying too hard (at least she's trying though, so I give her credit for that) and it just doesn't quite work. At any rate though, Britney wasn't even a major part of the episode, so I wasn't so offended that I got angry. More concerning though is that judging by the end of tonight's episode as well as additional statements made by the show's creators, it seems as though HIMYM is still leaving open the possibility for additional Britney Spears appearances. My Britney patience is starting to wear thin - any more Britney and I will be offended, because I just don't think she is actually adding anything to the show (beyond ratings). So now it's your turn! What did you think of Britney on HIMYM: The Remix as well as the episode in general?

BB pistols come in a variety of styles, mimicking semi-automatic handguns, revolvers and automatic style submachine guns. Most BB pistols shoot at around the 400 fps velocity range. They are ideal for backyard plinking and target shooting.
BB pistols are typically spring or CO2 powered, with CO2 being the more prevalent. Compressed CO2 in the form of cylindrical cartridges are usually inserted into the grip of the BB pistol. The use of CO2 allows for semi-automatic or even fully automatic shooting action. The CO2 cartridges are easy to use and somewhat convenient, but add to the cost of shooting. They come in standard 12 oz and 88 oz sizes. Most BB pistols will take the 12 oz version.
Semi-automatic style BB pistols have drop free magazines, which can hold a large quantity of BBs. Revolvers feature realistc shells that are loaded into each chamber. One BB is loaded into each shell. BB pistols take the standard .177 round steel BB, which typically is coated in copper or zinc for rust protection.
BB pistols are usually made with a quality polymer plastic or steel, providing a realistic appearance. Some even have blowback action for added realism. Beretta, Smith & Wesson and Sig Sauer are just some of the more notable licensed brand names associated with BB pistols, along with established BB gun manufacturers Daisy and Crosman.
Safety is a must when handling BB pistols. Shooting at hard, flat surfaces is not recommended because of the strong ricochet effect. Eye protection is advised.

I want to find sample input of BIG data for a program.
I am interested in polytopes with many faces. I want the half-spaces that define the polytope to be as many as possible.
I do not care if it is a random polytope or a real one (I mean one with a name, like a cube for example (which is defined by only 6 faces)).
I want the polytope(s) to be defined by vertices or by half-spaces.
Thanks in advance.
