Cooking With Onions: Names for your onions
Hello again,
this blog post is the second issue of the Cooking with Onions series which aims to highlight interesting aspects of the onion space. Check-out our first issue as well!
Onion addresses are weird...
This post is about onion addresses being weird and the approaches that can be taken to improve onion service usability.
In particular, if you've cruised around the onionspace, you must have noticed that onion services typically have random-looking addresses that look like these:
- 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion
- 33y6fjyhs3phzfjj.onion
- propub3r6espa33w.onion
So for example, if you wanted to visit the Tor website onion service, you would have to use the address http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/ instead of the usual https://www.torproject.org.
To better understand why onion addresses are so strange, it helps to remember that onion services don't use the insecure Domain Name System (DNS), which means there is no organization like ICANN to oversee a single root registry of onion addresses or to handle ownership dispute resolution of onion addresses. Instead, onion services get strong authentication from using self-authenticating addresses: the address itself is a cryptographic proof of the identity of the onion service. When a client visits an onion service, Tor verifies its identity by using the address as ground truth.
In other words, onion services have such absurd names because of all the cryptography that's used to protect them. Cryptographic material are basically huge numbers that look meaningless to most humans, and that's the reason onion addresses tend to look random as well.
To motivate this subject further, Tor developers have medium-term future plans for upgrading the cryptography of onion services, which has the side-effect of increasing onion address length to 54 characters! This means that in the future onion addresses will look like this:
- llamanymityx4fi3l6x2gyzmtmgxjyqyorj9qsb5r543izcwymlead.onion
- lfels7g3rbceenuuqmpsz45z3lswakqf56n5i3bvqhc22d5rrszzwd.onion
- odmmeotgcfx65l5hn6ejkaruvai222vs7o7tmtllszqk5xbysolfdd.onion
Remembering onions
Over the years the Tor community has come up with various ways of handling these large and non-human-memorable onion addresses. Some people memorize them entirely or scribe them into secret notebooks, others use tattoos, third-party centralized directories or just google them everytime. We've heard of people using decks of cards to remember their favorite onion sites, and others who memorize them using the position of stars and the moon.
We believe that the UX problem of onion addresses is not actually solved with the above ad-hoc solutions and remains a critical usability barrier that prevents onion services from being used by a wider audience.
The onion world never had a system like DNS. Even though we are well aware that DNS is far from the perfect solution, it's clear that human memorable domain names play a fundamental role in the user experience of the Internet.
In this blog post we present you a few techniques that we have devised to improve the usability of onion addresses. All of these ideas are experimental and come with various fun open questions, so we are still in exploration mode. We appreciate any help in prototyping, analyzing and finding flaws in these ideas.
Idea 1) A modular name system API for Tor onion services
During the past years, many research groups have experimented and designed various secure name systems (e.g. GNS, Namecoin, Blockstack). Each of these systems has its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as different user models and total user experience. We are not sure which one works best for the onion space, so ideally we'd like to try them all and let the community and the sands of time decide for us. We believe that by integrating these experimental systems into Tor, we can greatly strengthen and improve the whole scientific field by exposing name systems to the real world and an active and demanding userbase.
For this reason and based on our experience with modular anti-censorship techniques, we designed a generic & modular scheme through which any name system can be integrated to Tor: Proposal 279 defines A Name System API for Tor Onion Services which can be used to integrate any complex name system (e.g. Namecoin) or even simple silly naming schemes (e.g. a local /etc/tor-hosts file).
Here is a graphical depiction of the Name System API with a Namecoin module enabled and resolving the domain sailing.tor for a user:
It's worth pointing out that proposal 279 is in draft status and we still need to incorporate feedback received in the mailing list. Furthermore, people have pointed out simple ways through which we can fast-track and prototype the proposal faster. Help in implementing this proposal is greatly appreciated (find us in IRC!).
Idea 2) Using browser extensions to improve usability
Other approaches for improving the usability of onion addresses use the Tor Browser as a framework: think of browser extensions that map human memorable names to onion addresses.
There are many variants here so let's walk through them:
Idea 2.1) Browser Extension + New pseudo-tld + Local onion registry
A browser extension like HTTPS-everywhere, uses an onion registry to map human-memorable addresses from a new pseudo-tld (e.g. ".tor") to onion addresses. For example, it maps "watchtower.tor" to "fixurqfuekpsiqaf.onion" and "globaleconomy.tor" to "froqh6bdgoda6yiz.onion". Such an onion registry could be local (like HTTPS-everywhere) or remote (e.g. a trusted append-only database).
Even an extension with a local onion registry would be a very effective improvement to the current situation since it would be pretty usable and its security model is easy to understand: an audited local database seems to work well for HTTPS-everywhere. However, there are social issues here: how would the onion registry be operated and how should name registrations be handled? I can see people fighting for who will get bitcoin.tor first. That said, this idea can be beneficial even with a small onion database (e.g. 50 popular domains).
Here is a graphical depiction of a browser extension with a local onion registry resolving the domain sailing.tor for a user:
Idea 2.2) Browser extension + New pseudo-tld + Remote onion registries
A more dynamic alternative here involves multiple trusted remote onion registries that the user can add to their torrc. Imagine a web-of-trust based system where you add your friend's Alice onion registry and then you can visit facebook using facebook.alice.onion.
A similar more decentralized alternative could be a browser addon that uses multiple remote onion registries/notaries to resolve a name, employing a majority or supermajority rule to decide the resolution results. Such a system could involve notary nodes similar to SSL schemes like Convergence.
Idea 2.3) Browser extension redirects existing DNS names
An easier but less effective approach would be for the browser extension to only map DNS domain names to onion names. So for example, it would map "duckduckgo.com" to "3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion". That makes the job of the name registrar easier, but it also heavily restricts users only to services with a registered DNS domain name. Some attempts have already been made in this area but unfortunately they never really took off.
Idea 2.4) Automatic Redirection using HTTP
The Alt-Svc HTTP header defines a way for a website to say "I'm facebook.com but you should talk to me using fbcdn.com." If we replace that fbcdn.com address with facebookcorewwi.onion - then when you typed in Facebook, the browser would, under the covers, use the .onion address. And this can be done without any browser extension whatsoever.
One problem is that the browser has to remember this mapping, and in Tor Browser that mapping could be used to track or correlate you. Preloading the mapping would solve this, but how to preload the mapping probably brings us back into the realm of a browser extension.
Idea 2.5) Smart browser bookmarks for onion addresses
Talking about random addresses, it's funny how people seem to be pretty happy handling phone numbers (big meaningless random numbers) using a phone book and contacts on their devices.
On the same note, an easier but less usable approach would be to enhance Tor Browser with some sort of smart bookmark/petname system which allows users to register custom names for onion sites, and allows them to trust them or share them with friends. Unfortunately, it' unclear whether the user experience of this feature would make it useful to anyone but power users.
Of course it's important to realize that any approach that relies on a browser extension will only work for the web, and you wouldn't be able to use it for arbitrary TCP services (e.g. visiting an IRC server)
Idea 3) Embed onion addresses in SSL certificates
So let's shift back to non-browser approaches!
Let's Encrypt is an innovative project which issues free SSL certificates in an automated fashion. It has greatly improved Internet security since now anyone can freely acquire an SSL certificate for their service and provide link security to their users.
Now let's imagine that Let's Encrypt embedded onion address information into the certificates it issues, for clients with both a normal service and an onion service. For example, the onion address could be embedded into a custom certificate extension or in the C/ST/L/O fields. Then Tor Browser, when visiting such an SSL-enabled website, would parse and validate the certificate and if an onion address is included, the browser would automagically redirect the user. Take a look at this paper for some more neat ideas on this area.
Idea 4) Embed onion addresses in DNS/DNSSEC records
A similar approach could use the DNS system instead of the SSL CA system. For example, site owners could add their onion address into their TXT or SRV DNS records and Tor could learn to redirect users to the onion address. Of course this approach only applies to operators that can afford a DNS domain. Oh yeah DNS also has zero security...
As you can see there are many approaches that we should explore to improve usability in this area. Each of them comes with its own tradeoffs and applies to different users, so it's important that we allow users to experiment with various systems and let each community decide which approach works best for them.
It's also worth pointing out that some of these approaches are not that hard to implement technically, but they still require lots of effort and community building to really take off and become effective. Involving and pairing with other friendly Internet privacy organizations is essential to achieve our goals.
Furthermore, we should think carefully of unintended usability and security consequences that come with using these systems. For example, people are not used to their browser automagically redirecting them from one domain to another: this can seriously freak people out. It's also not clear how Tor Browser should handle these special names to avoid SSL certificate verification issues and hostname leaks.
One thing is for sure: even though onion services are used daily by thousand of people, the random addresses confuse casual users and prevent the ecosystem from maturing and achieving widespread adoption. We hope that this blog post inspires researchers and developers to toy around with naming systems and take the initiative in building and experimenting with the various approaches. Please join the [tor-dev] mailing list and share your thoughts and projects with us!
And this brings us to the end of this post. Hope you enjoyed this issue of Cooking With Onions! We will be back soon, always with the finest produce and the greatest cooking tips! What would you like us to cook next?
[Thanks to Philipp Winter and Tom Ritter for the feedback on this blog post, as well as to everyone who has discussed and helped develop these ideas.]

Great article! In practice I
Great article! In practice I only regularly visit 3-4 onion addresses (by copy pasting them from onion.txt on my desktop). But I think at least 1/16 of the other sites I visit already have an onion service, but since finding onion services for them and classifying them in my txt file will take more time, I tend to just use the regular websites themselves.

One problem though: when I last tested adding specific HTTPS Everywhere rulesets to change addresses to their corresponding onion site (in the specific folder dedicated to user rulesets), it just didn't work. Is it just me or does it no longer work?

Have you seen darkweb-everywhere? It's a (now defunct) firefox extension that does exactly that: https://github.com/chris-barry/darkweb-everywhere

if anyone is interested I could share my own list of up-to-date rulesets, I was the major contributor to that project and I currently have around 300 rules which is twice the number in darkweb-everywhere, though many old rules contain dead websites

sadly school and work got in the way :(
I do still check my github :)
Having been around the TLD
Having been around the TLD loop once, may I please suggest that any directory/registry live *beneath* ".onion", for instance:
...because the prospect of going back to IANA/ICANN and CA/B-Forum with a request for yet another TLD is too horrific to contemplate. :-)

I second this request.
I'd prefer something like Namecoin, but not necessarily with a proof of work.
-- Scott Arciszewski
I don't know if such a thing
I don't know if such a thing exists. The proof of work is the whole reason NameCoin works. Clients never have to compute it so I don't think it's a big deal. In fact, there are already some public DNS servers that resolve .bit names (but you have to trust them).
Yep, I think that's probably
Yep, I think that's probably the path we are gonna take.
I feel the usability is kind of impaired by using a second tld, but still it seems to be the right thing to do.
Can you clarify? Are you
Can you clarify? Are you saying the vibe is to to put everything under .onion, or instead to put everything under a second TLD?
Sorry for not being
Sorry for not being specific.
Yes, the current vibe is to put everything under .onion .
So if you used Namecoin you would have to go to reddit.bit.onion .
And if you used GNS you would have to go to reddit.gnu.onion .
And if you used MagicalNameSystem you would have to go to reddit.mns.onion .
The idea here is that keeping the .onion TLD is very rewarding for Tor, since we have already registered it with IETF and it's protected. So no one can steal it from us, and also other browsers know that it's special-purpose and they shouldn't leak it to the DNS servers. e.g. see:
as i understand
as i understand dark-web-everywhere as in compare to the clear-net https-everywhere... should not be an worry if one trust the end website ? (assuming non-state honeypots)
depend on one own threat model i guess ...hidden to hidden you get the anon anyway... unless of course if one silly enough to give social information e.g with own name etc... and the hidden is an state run hidden service.
#1 is obviously the best.
#1 is obviously the best. Okay that might be an overstatement, but really, all the alternatives pale in comparison. They either are browser only, require existing clearnet presence (DNS, PKI), or have real logistics/management hurdles (Zokoo's triangle).
We already have naming systems that are secure, human readable, and globally unique. Why would we bother with the registration politics nightmare of a remote authoritative naming repository? Or many nonauthoritative ones that can have global naming collisions.
NameCoin/GNS/BlockStack might even mainline the client code to make it compatible with Tor. And if not, a small shim would be super simple (disclaimer: I have not read the spec yet). Doesn't NameCoin already have a a record type reserved for .onion addresses?
The answer has been right in front of our faces for at least 5 years now (NameCoin, maybe even others before that). I honestly can't believe it has taken this long to get to where we are, and we're still in the proposal stage. But I'm glad we're getting there! This is a huge step for onion services!
Idea #1 has various
Idea #1 has various unanswered questions that we have not really worked on. For example, see these two posts:
It does seem like the idea also requires mods to Tor Browser as well, to be able to support SSL certs etc.
Thank you for the links! As
Thank you for the links! As usual, the devil is in the details. But just from reading those two posts I can see the problem is not insurmountable. What was getting at is that #1 is the Right Way™ to solve the problem, not the easy way.
Why not try a system similar
Why not try a system similar to PascalCoin, written in FreePascal.............Just like the nodes who carry Tor bandwidth mirror the directory why not create another directory written like PascalCoin and checked through a Tor directory. I2P is far ahead of Tor in this space, even though Tor has more users.
Sorry this post doesn't make
Sorry this post doesn't make much sense to me.
Why this "PascalCoin"? Does it have anything to do with a name system at all? It would take enornous effort to modify the codebase to work as a name system, as opposed to using an API like NameCoin's. And why does the language matter? Other than the fact that most of Tor devs already use C and JS and not Pascal.
Having the Tor directories do the lookups is an interesting idea. You'd have to trust them, and I don't know what the anonymity implications would be. You could do remote lookups for any other name system, like NameCoin, too.
I2P is not far ahead of Tor here. The I2P name system is actually kind of silly when you look at how it works. It's really nothing more than a remote replicated "hosts" file. It is not globally unique. And it has practical issues, for example names can never be freed for reuse, even if their private key is destroyed. It's a gimmick compared to NameCoin.
Oh, and by the way, a module
Oh, and by the way, a module could use or be based on PascalCoin or anything else. This blog post is about the API that connects Tor to name system modules. How the modules are implemented doesn't really matter. For all intents and purposes, Tor sees PascalCoin the same way as NameCoin.
Your just gonna have to make
Your just gonna have to make 2 directories one for private .Onions and one for .Onions who people post all over the net trying to direct people to. I don't think you can handle both without 2 seperate directories.
Create a public directory and keep the same .Onion system in place now if possible where someone can give their long string .Onion and either post or it keep it private. That seems like the best way to go, but people will want assurance that the public directory is not tampered with...............
Why you don't explore such
Why you don't explore such an obvious approach to improving usability as various graphical representations of onion addresses? It works for security verification codes in WhatsApp, Telegram etc., it should also work for onion addresses.
- ComodoHacker
Having various graphical
Having various graphical representations of onion addresses might be a small step forward but it's far from a proper solution to this problem.
How many QR codes or key poems can you put in your brain? You probably might remember 3 or 4, but then what do you do for all the rest of the onion sites you want to visit?

Hello Tor team, Would it be
Hello Tor team,
Would it be possible to lift out just the tor dns code, and the nat traversal code for a dns system only? I like tor, but using a hidden service as a distributed and free dns is a superhit!
So in my ideal world, I'd like to have a Tor DNS software package, that enables me to have a constant .onion address for my home server that I can always use, and to avoid having to many hops in between.
I don't need anonymous browsing for my home server, but only an unchanging name.
Anyway, don't know if you have the time and resources to do this, but it would be nice. Thank you for all the good work!
Hey, check out the 'Single
check out the 'Single Onion Services' feature. It's a type of onion service with no anonymity on the service-side, so it doesn't use a 3-hop circuit on the service-side which means it should be faster, but still give you the static onion address you are looking for.
It was introduced in tor 0.2.9.8:
Thank you very much, I
Thank you very much, I wasn't aware of that! =) That's a great option, and the only thing missing is the ability to disable the 3 hops on the client side as well (or perhaps 2 hops since I assume one hop is needed for routing purposes?).
But I can see that there is a possibility to tweak the countries the 3 hops are located in, so I think the performance should be more than enough for most use cases.
Again, thank you for pointing it out. =)
The latest financial reports
The latest financial reports for The Tor Project on the website only cover the period through the end of 2014. Do you know when the organization's 2015 and/or 2016 IRS 990 forms or audited financial statements will be made available? Thanks!
>Idea 2.4) Automatic
>Idea 2.4) Automatic Redirection using HTTP
This idea is bad because it forces you to use hidden service verion of the website and in case of Facebook if you try to comment on news websites that facebook for comments under their articles you cant comment when you are logged in to facebook's hidden service.
Of course under normal Tor Browser privacy settings you can't comment even if you are logged in to clearnet Facebook website because of cookie isolation but if you enable third party cookies and tracking you can but as I said this doesn't work with Facebook's hidden service.
This one is using "MapAddress" as custom alias("repo" one).
Would .tor be the official
Would .tor be the official TLD for plain-text onion names? If so, do you have plans to get ICANN to assign special-use status to the TLD?
Would .tor be eligible for HTTPS certificates? If so, would it support domain validated like Let's Encrypt or EV only.
That said, would the next generation strong .onion addresses support DV certificates, adding the possibility of Let's Encrypt being able to add support per CA/B rules?
.tor was just an example for
.tor was just an example for this blog post.
We have not actually decided what to do about the tld, but we probably gonna go with .onion . So, like .tor.onion, or .bit.onion, etc. Exactly for the reason that ICANN has standarized .onion and we should keep ourselves in that zone (see other comments on this topic).
We are hoping that the CAB forum will allow onion addresses to get DV certificates as well. I think there are some discussions underway right now, but I imagine the next gen onion services will put extra pressure here.
I am of the opinion that the
I am of the opinion that the optimal scheme is one where I'd be able to boot some amnesic OS that includes Tor and type an "onion" address from memory, just like typing facebook.com of microsoft.com. Nothing written down. Nothing to connect an address to me.
Yep, that's also my hope. I
Yep, that's also my hope.
I think your dream could be achieved using a number of approaches from this blog post. Of course, a good amount of engineering, integration and UX testing will be needed to make this nice and useable.
Does setting up an onion
Does setting up an onion service for my website introduce more noise in the network than just using regular HTTPS?
The circuits people create
The circuits people create will be longer, so there will be a little more traffic in the network.
However, the big advantage is that onion service circuits don't use exits nodes. Exits are in short supply.
If you don't need to to hide the location of your website, you could consider setting it up as a single onion service to shorten the circuit length and make it a little faster.
Problem in idea 1: who
Problem in idea 1: who decide that john.onion (or john.tor) go to randomaddress1.onion and not to randomaddress2.onion?
If all is anonymous, who can guarantee that microsoft.onion (or microsoft.tor) is really microsoft and not a malicious site?
Hey guys, there already
Hey guys,
there already exists a working DNS system for TOR which is based on Namecoin technology. It's called 611 and is an open source project on GitHub:
If you like it you can join the discussion on:
Registered domain objects are reachable under the anonymous domain YOURNAME.611.to, like
Using the Qt "611 - Wallet" it's very easy and intuitive to manage your domain name objects
Screenshots with short description of the additional wallet features are available on this website: https://flo.sh/611-sixeleven/
Moreover 611 already offers additional TOR services. You can use it to publish an onion website for both: TOR and non-TOR users by using a free service.
The websites examples above i.e. are also reachable for non-TOR users using a Tor2Web proxy.
TOR users should be automatically redirected to the matching onion website.
As the whole project is blockchain based on Bitcoin technology you can always check the validity of the published information using an extended Blockchain Explorer at https://be.611.to
Let me know if there is anything missing for you :)
Namecoin as it stands
Namecoin as it stands requires users to download a blockchain to use it, this is very stupid. I will never download a blockchain, not for any coin or reason, at least not through Tor.
Centralized registries are also stupid, this makes the registrar liable, might as well just petition icann to handle all of this.
We would need a decentraized dns free of blockchain bloat. It seems like the existing onion addressing and network handling already works to this advantage except that it relies on the fact that no two names will ever collide. In which case why not allow people to register collisions then use existing onion network measurement tools to determine the popularity of sites, returning them in the same way a search bar returns autosuggestions.
Awesome! Thanks for your
Thanks for your post. Never heard of such a thing.
For privacy reasons it would be great if the DNS information of the blockchain could be integrated into the tor network, so that it is not necessary to access the public nameserver out of the tor network.
You could run a local
You could run a local instance of NameCoin and the module could query that. I don't see how Tor could integrate the DNS info into the network in a way that would justify the effort.
I disagree with your
I disagree with your opinion.
Blockchain technology is perfect for this purpose as it provides a maximum transparent and secure way to resolve the issues discussed.
As a user you do not have to download the whole blockchain (which is also no big mess for a blockchain containing the DNS system of Tor; it's mainly static data); you can work with a pruned blockchain or use a web based service.
Setting up a tiny fee on each DNS modification prevents massive abuse as no-one likes to burn money. That's perfect for an anonymous network like Tor.
A public blockchain explorer containing all confirmed blockchain operations is like a public dictionary offering a level of trust for every user.
Tor is only missing an interface providing direct access to the public DNS data of Namecoin or 611 so that it's not necessary to poll external DNS servers (which can be subject to external influence) to resolve domain names stored in the blockchain.
Why should a user have to
Why should a user have to download a blockchain to use it?
The blockchain (or using the wallet) is only necessary to setup or update a domain name alias for an onion address.
The user only resolves the valid onion address alias using dns.
NameCoin doesn't work
NameCoin doesn't work without the blockchain. Zokoo's triangle is a hard problem, and it just so happens NameCoin is one of the very few things (maybe the only thing) that actually solves it. We would all like a globally unique, secure, and human readable naming system that doesn't require the user to download a blockchain... we're just waiting for it to be invented at the moment.
This blog post made it pretty clear that the traditional .onion addresses aren't going anywhere, although they may be increased to 54 characters. All of these proposals are extensions on top of that. Idea #1 allows for many different naming system modules to be used, so you can just use the ones you like the best. Nobody is forcing anyone to use anything.
I would prefer to use the
I would prefer to use the NameCoin fork 611 or to setup a new fork of it allowing to resolve onion names globally for non-TOR users, too.
This would widely push the acceptance of hidden onion based web services if these can be reached with web2tor gateways from any Internet device, too.
As a side effect the fork 611 is almost unknown by now which allows the registration of almost any domain name you like.
611.to resolves from any Internet capable device.
Who controls the

New Holland has entered the growing self-propelled sprayer market with two new sprayer lines manufactured by Miller-St. Nazianz. The new sprayer lines were introduced in September at the Big Iron show in Fargo, ND. In the past, New Holland only sold pull-type sprayers. But the sprayer market for farmers is moving to self-propelled models.
New Holland personnel at Big Iron explained that the self-propelled sprayer market in this area as well as further west and north is very strong. Many customers with small grains cover their fields several times in a season and New Holland needed models to handle this demand. The recent announcement that the company will sell sprayers built by Miller-St. Nazianz is designed to meet this need.
Miller-St. Nazianz will continue to market the company's own brand of self-propelled sprayers that include the Nitro and Condor lines.
High-end line
New Holland's self-propelled sprayers include a high-end line and a value line. The high-end line is the Guardian Front Boom Sprayers that feature 4-wheel hydrostatic drive, a unique 4-wheel independent suspension, and six-foot ground clearance. The four models are available with tank sizes of 1,000-1,600 gal.; boom widths from 90 to 120 ft.; and a 240-, 275- or 365-hp engine. The front-mounted booms feature nozzles attached behind the boom so the operator has a clear view of the boom and the nozzles. The new Guardian cab also offers a clear view of boom and the crop.
Many electronic features are included in the Guardian cab. Monitors for on-the-go information are located in the front for easy viewing. Operators use a multi-function joystick located on the armrest to easily control boom height, wing tilt, master shutoff and individual section shutoff switches. A high-back air-ride seat keeps the operator comfortable and reduces fatigue.
The front boom Guardian models range from $270,000 for a well-equipped SP.240F to $335,000 for the SP.365F that is well equipped.
Value line
The Guardian Rear Boom Sprayer line offers self-propelled spraying in a lower cost package. The two models feature two-wheel mechanical drive with options of a 1,000- or 1,200-gal. tank; a boom of 90, 100, or 120 ft.; and a 240- or 275-hp engine. They are equipped with a single-pass cooling system. Air flows through vertically stacked modules to achieve maximum cooling. The Guardian cab features wrap-around rear windows for visibility and a high-back air-ride seat.
The sprayers have a crop clearance of 4 ft. and are built with a heavy-duty frame and axle. Both lines of sprayers boast a 15-foot turning radius, one of the lowest in the industry. An optional front-wheel assist may be added for more traction. Operators also may purchase the option to hydraulically adjust wheel spacing between 120 to 150 in. from the cab.
The rear boom Guardian sprayers models range from $210,000 for a well-equipped SP.240R to $285,000 for the SP.275R that is well equipped.

Western Europe:
1. St. Martin's Day (Martinstag) - Held on Nov. 11th, this German Holiday feels a lot like a festival of lights, typically including a procession of lanterns. It is holiday that children all over Germany, Austria and many other European countries celebrate. Red Ted Art shares the lanterns they made for this holiday.
2. Guy Fawkes Day/Bonfire Night - I am learning from my friends in the UK that this Nov. 5th holiday is actually quite a big deal and the celebration features fireworks, sparklers and a bonfire. I love that The Imagination Tree created edible sparklers for the occasion. She also shares more details about this holiday, including its history, in this post along with some great fireworks crafts. Cerys of Rainy Day Mum recently shared about Guy Fawkes Day/Bonfire Night at The Educators Spin On it with some great fire painting activities and more.
Asia/South Asia:
3. Zhongqui (Chinese Moon/Mid-Autumn Festival) - Though already passed this year, I still wanted to share this great Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated this year on Sept. 30th. I think sharing it with kids now, with Pumpkin Patches and Harvest activities in full swing, can underscore for them the importance of the harvest time of year around the world. Carrots Are Orange shared how they celebrated the Moon Festival this year. Kids World Citizen also has a great post about this holiday that provides lots of information about the holiday and some delicious moon cakes.
4. Tsukimi/Otsukimi Festival (Japan) - Two Japanese festivals, typically held around the 15th day of the 8th month and 13th day of the 9th month (mid-Sept. and mid-Oct. in our calendar), this holiday is similar to the Chinese festival in that it also involves honoring the autumn moon. Beautiful seasonal produce is set out as an offering to the moon and decorations and dumplings are made to honor the beauty of the moon.
5. Diwali/Deepaval, the Festival of Lights - one of the most significant holidays of Hinduism also dominated with lights with the lights signifying the dominance of good over evil. This year, celebrations will begin on Nov. 13th and run for 5 days. The Educators' Spin On It shares how her family celebrates as well as many resources for learning more about this beautiful holiday. Putti's World has many posts with activities related to this holiday. This one includes lots of food and crafts for the holiday. Kids World Citizen offers another simple craft for this holiday. Plus, The Golden Gleam shared some great Mandalas her daughter made for Diwali, and the Nurturestore shared Playdough Mandalas. Oh - and Mama Smiles has a great Exploring Geography series that offers many posts about countries around the world, including this post written by Kim from The Educators Spin On It about India with photos and information about Diwali.
6. Chusok (Korean Thanksgiving) - Celebrated this year from Sept. 29-Oct. 1, this holiday is among the top three holidays in Korea. Traditionally, the holiday was a time when people gave thanks to their ancestors for a bountiful harvest and shared their abundance with family. It remains an opportunity for families to come together in a feast (similar to Thanksgiving in the U.S.) and to visit graves and honor their deceased loved ones. Connecting Family and Seoul (formerly Famiglia + Seoul) shared a great Korean cultural basket and book she and her son read and used to get in the spirit for Chusok this year.
North America/Latin America:
7. Day of the Dead - A holiday celebrated on Nov. 1st in many Latin American countries is a major event where we live in Southern California, with many large public events, parades and activities taking place throughout the weekend. The skull image is most associated with this holiday and Kids World Citizen shares a simple skull craft perfect for this holiday. It is a day to commemorate loved ones who have died. Adventures in Mommydom created a Day of the Dead memory book with her Elementary-aged children. Glittering Muffins Around the World in 12 Dishes: Mexico linky also offers lots of Mexican food recipes and craft ideas/activities.
8. All Saints' Day - Also celebrated on Nov. 1st, this Catholic Holiday honors all saints, known and unknown, and was traditionally a feast day. Hmmm - perhaps you will find yourself feasting on Halloween candy from the night before...though I do not think that is exactly what the Catholic church had in mind.
9. All Souls' Day - While not similar in style of celebration, this holiday, held on Nov. 2nd, is similar in meaning and purpose to Day of the Dead, as it is a Christian Holiday to honor those who are no longer living. I love the way the NurtureStore shared this holiday with her family and why she introduces her children to many holidays from other cultures.
*All Saints Day and All Souls Day are also celebrated in many other areas, especially in Western and Eastern European and the Philippines and in many areas where Catholicism is the primary religion.
10. Yam Festival (Nigeria) - The earliest (relatively) of all of the holidays/festivals included here, as this festival typically takes place in August at the end of the rainy season, I wanted to include it because of the festival being a harvest festival and thus connected to many of the harvest festivities (pumpkin patches, hayrides, etc.) that often take place in the U.S. around this time of year. In Nigeria, yams are the first crop to be harvested and are the most important crop in the region. On festival day, only dishes with yams are served and the day is also marked with parades, folk dances and masquerades. Some yams have been known to weigh in at 150 pounds, making yams similar to pumpkins in terms of their range of size and their significance as a harvest crop. How about the Great Yam, Charlie Brown? For a great Yammy Yam Muffin, click here.
Celebrating and/or learning about holidays around the world offers a fun way for kids to learn about other cultures and to explore geography. It also reminds us (and teaches kids) of the similarities that are shared across cultures. Common themes I noticed were the use of lights in many of the festivals (the Divali, Moon Festival, St. Martins and other lanterns shared reminded me of jack-o-lanterns popping up everywhere right now for Halloween), the significance of honoring loved ones that have passed away was another common theme as is the world-wide tradition of celebrating the harvest and abundance of the Earth with friends and family.
Also, Crafty Moms Share also recently shared a Halloween around the world post for more on the ways that different geographic areas celebrate similar holidays.

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Offense was aplenty for the Georgia College baseball team (27-15, 14-10 PBC) Sunday, taking two games at Young Harris College (20-21, 8-18 PBC) 10-5 and 17-2. The Bobcats stole the series from the Mountain Lions with the doubleheader sweep 2-1.
In game one, the Bobcats scored runs in each of the final five frames, including a four-run ninth to push the game out of reach.
Catcher Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) swatted two solo home runs as part of a 3-for-4 day. Maas now has nine round trippers on the season. First baseman Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) had three hits in six trips, including a double with three RBI.
Leftfielder Rob Hogenkamp (St. Louis) and centerfielder Ikaika Anderson (Austell, Ga.) each went 2-for-3, Anderson scoring two and driving in a pair while Hogenkamp added a pair of runs as well.
Righty reliever Jordan Modine (Ft. Pierce, Fla.) picked up his second Bobcat win (2-0), tossing an inning of scoreless relief before turning it over to Christian Bragg (Augusta, Ga.) for two hitless innings and his third save of the year. YHC reliever James Mills (3-4) took the loss in 2 2/3 innings of work.
The Bobcats never trailed in the game two victory, highlighted by four Georgia College home runs.
Mikee Moore (Dunwoody, Ga.) got the runs started with a two-run shot to left in the second inning. Jake Sandlin (Evans, Ga.) added a three-run blast in the seventh, the seventh for Sandlin this season. Sandlin finished 2-for-2 with three RBI and three runs, while Moore added a 3-for-6 effort, scoring twice and driving in three.
Colton Montgomery (Cartersville, Ga.) pinch-hit with a three-run home run in the four-run ninth, the first collegiate home run for Montgomery. Jeremy Donaldson (Winder, Ga.) followed with a solo shot. Donaldson added a 2-for-6 game, plating two runs and scoring one.
Shortstop Daniel Bick (Alpharetta, Ga.) had a 2-for-6 effort with two runs. Maas went 2-for-4 in game two, driving in two runs and scoring one, while Ardeeser added two more hits in five trips, driving in two and scoring two. Anderson posted another multi-hit game, adding two hits in five at-bats, scoring two runs.
Righty starter Matt LaMothe (Troy, Mich.) held the Mountain Lions in check for the win (6-3), tossing seven innings, allowing just two runs while fanning eight. YHC starter Taylor Topping (2-4) couldn't make it out of the fourth inning to take the loss.
The Bobcats are back in action Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m., hosting the University of Montevallo in a doubleheader at John Kurtz Field.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

On behalf of Cathy Hughes, founder and CEO of Radio One, Mildred Gaddis, Host of Inside Detroit, will honor Ofield Dukes December 8th at 7:00 a.m. on WCHB AM 1200/99.9 FM. It was because of Dukes that Radio One exists today.
In 2002 Hughes named the building that would house three of her Detroit stations the Ofield Dukes Communications Center.
Ofield Dukes, APR, Fellow PRSA, a distinguished PR professional, educator and journalist, passed Wednesday morning (Dec. 7) in his hometown of Detroit after a battle with bone cancer. He was 79.
Dukes was president of Ofield Dukes and Associates, a highly regarded Washington, D.C.-based PR firm that specialized in political affairs and minority affairs with particular focus on African-American and African issues.
He was a PRSA member for more than 40 years. In 2001, he received the Gold Anvil Award, PRSA's highest individual honor. He was the first African-American that the Society honored with the award.
Dukes led PRSA's first National Diversity Task Force in 2002 and 2003, which resulted in the Chapter Diversity Awards. Dukes began an educational campaign across the country, taking the diversity message to Chapters as one of the top priorities of the National leadership.
"Ofield Dukes inspired so many of us to follow our hearts and our passion to make public relations that much better a profession through a commitment to diversity," said Rosanna M. Fiske, APR, PRSA's chair and CEO. "His professional legacy lives on in those of us who worked directly with him, who got to know him and who were touched by him."

"'Tis a rule of health I learned while sailing under the immortal Hawke, arrr!" Spoken by actor Robert Newton in the 1950 Disney film Treasure Island, that line is the ur-arr, the first occurrence of the infamous pirate catchphrase. In Robert Louis Stevenson's original book, characters used the interjection ah 35 times. As in, "Ah, they was a sweet crew, they was!" The hammy actor Newton delivered his lines for Long John Silver in his Cornwall accent, adding a rolling r sound and thus creating a classic meme. This item was contributed by the geeky musical comedy duo Paul and Storm, who are famous for ending their shows with a pirate song "The Captain's Wife's Lament," which is punctuated with endless "arrr" puns. See if you can solve these riddles, using proper pirate-speak.

It's clear now that the only way journalists are allowed to write profiles of eccentric socialite billionaire hedge fund wife Lisa Falcone is to tell her they plan to detail her "entrepreneurial" and "philanthropic" activities. Not her insanity.
Her insanity speaks for itself! Alexandra Wolfe has a wonderful new profile of Falcone in BusinessWeek—and indeed, it is hard not to write wonderfully about this alleged penis-grabbing pig lover who lives with her husband, hedge fund billionaire Philip Falcone, in Bob Guccione's old mansion. And she's a hip hop producer, now!
She produced the song and sings along as it blasts from iPod speakers on the table: "Come on bitches, get your hands in the air, ugly bitches too, we don't care!"
And pish posh to those who say she hasn't earned everything she's got! "Obviously, my husband's made the money, but we've been together 18 years, and the person behind the person isn't usually seen," she says. "So the money I'm using I've earned." Ha, we'll pointedly not point out the sexual undertones there! Anyhow. She's also a film producer now, through entrepreneurialism!
While she doesn't have a film background, Falcone says she loves movies: "I was always trying to figure out the ending before the beginning and pretty much was always right."
So short version, Lisa Falcone is still crazy, in case you were wondering.

Linear least-squares estimation
Dowden, Hutchinson & Ross, 1977 - Mathematics - 318 pages
The topic of linear least-squares estimation, apparently a very specaial one, has ramifications in a large number of problems, both specific and general, stochastic and deterministic. Among these, we might mention the detection of Gaussian signals in Gaussian noise, quadratic minimization problems in modern control theory, polynomial factorization problems in network theory, computation of spline functions, solution of fredholm integral equations and two-point linear boundary-value problems, Pade approximation problems, system identification techniques, the theory of invariant subspaces and Hiilbert-space operators, inverse Sturm-Liouville problems, and so on.

'Stop SkiLink' campaign moves onto Park City yards
Campaign signs were not the only ones posted in Park City-area yards with a political message as Election Day neared.
Signs in opposition to SkiLink, the politically charged idea of a skiing connection between Canyons Resort and Solitude Mountain Resort via a gondola, have been seen recently as critics of the idea continue their drive to squash the connection.
Early in the week, a few of them were spotted in Park City. They were greatly outnumbered by political signs for candidates, however. The signs are red and white, with an image of a gondola placed inside an octagon that appears to be a stop sign.
There has been organized opposition to SkiLink in Park City and along the Wasatch Front since the idea was publicized in 2011. Talisker Mountain Incorporated, the parent of Canyons, wants to be allowed to purchase federal land needed for the connection. Legislation is pending.
Save Our Canyons, an environmental watchdog that is especially active in the Cottonwood Canyons, has been the key group in the opposition movement. The organization printed the signs that are now posted.
Carl Fisher, the executive director of Save Our Canyons, said the group started promoting a SkiLink opposition campaign in the summer. The image on the signs comes from one that was used on a sticker early in the campaign, he said.
Fisher said a supporter of the group had 250 signs made initially and distributed them in few days. He said Save Our Canyons made approximately 1,500. Nearly all of them had been distributed by early in the week, he said. Fisher estimated at least one-third of the signs went to people in Summit County. The group is asking for $3 each to cover the cost of making them.
"We won't stop until the final nail of the coffin of this horrible idea of SkiLink has been driven through," Fisher said.
He said the signs are "helping immensely with awareness." Fisher said the group is asking people who request a sign why they want one. The majority tell Save Our Canyons they do not trust Talisker Mountain Incorporated, he said. Fisher said the distrust embodies the wider Talisker Mountain Incorporated presence in Utah and a thinking that the firm wants to establish a monopoly on skiing in the state.
The people obtaining the signs also worry about development — both residential and ski area expansion — in Big Cottonwood Canyon that they fear SkiLink could trigger, he said.
Fisher said Save Our Canyons in Salt Lake City last Friday held its most lucrative single-event fundraiser in its 40-year history. The event centered on the SkiLink opposition and raised approximately $30,000, he said.
Black Diamond Inc., an action sports equipment maker, is among the corporate interests in opposition to SkiLink. A release from the company indicated more than 80 other brands and conservation groups have signed a petition opposing SkiLink.
Talisker Mountain Incorporated and Canyons see SkiLink as something that would increase the competitiveness of Utah skiing by offering access to the terrain of the two resorts to customers. The firms also argue that the connection could reduce traffic between Park City and Big Cottonwood Canyon, providing environmental benefits. SkiLink hinges on federal legislation that would allow 30.3 acres of federal land to be sold to Talisker Mountain Incorporated.
Mike Goar, the managing director of Canyons, said he has seen the opposition signs in Salt Lake City but not the Park City area. He said Save Our Canyons sent him a photo of one prior to them being posted.
"Not everyone is in favor of SkiLink. I know I'm stating the obvious," Goar said.
Goar, though, said he is "certain" that there is a "silent majority" in support of the connection. He did not provide details. He said, though, Talisker Mountain Incorporated does not dismiss other opinions.
"Any amount of opposition has our attention. We consider that when we're evaluating projects," he said. "I certainly don't ignore it."
A sign was seen early in the week outside a home in Prospector appearing to be in favor of SkiLink. The message "Link the Wasatch" was printed above an illustration of a gondola between two peaks. Nobody answered the door at the home Monday afternoon.

"Although I've never had a problem with any of the Truly Nolen service technicians Dan seemed to go above and beyond. Dan was very pleasant to do business with and seemed to offer the correct solution to our problems. I really hate to call and request for service before our quarterly visit is due but Dan advised that if it's needed then call and schedule, it's the only way we are going to get ahead of this problem. This was I believe the third visit by Truly Nolen and all have been positive. Haha as much as I enjoyed Dan being here I really hope that I don't have to see him again until it's time for our quarterly preventive maintenance. Thanks for taking care of our problem."

Story highlights
- Team behind Vestas Sailrocket 2 aims to break world speed sailing record
- Creators say vessel behaves like a boat below water and a plane above it
- Record is held by U.S. kite surfer who reached 55.65 knots over 500 meters
Sailor Paul Larsen hopes that 2012 will be the year that he and his team will break the world speed sailing record -- and he believes he has the right contraption to do it. The Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon to be the fastest sailing vessel on water too.
"Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat," says Larsen, a professional sailor who's now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission.
To attempt the feat, Larsen and his small team of naval architects, engineers and yachtsmen and women, created the sailrocket -- a hybrid boat/plane. "A large part of this boat is flying, it's supported by aerodynamics," says Larsen . "When it's going at high speed, it's like a well-built paper airplane."
The record is open to any craft, as long as it's using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. Currently it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.
The group held the record briefly three years ago, but they've come across some strong competition for the title, with wind surfers proving to be the toughest opponents.
Last month the team made another record attempt in southern Africa. Walvis Bay in Namibia provides the ideal wind conditions for the sailrocket. The group spent days trying to reach 60 knots -- the speed they believe will not only get them the record, but also keep it with them.
"The boat is based on this whole new idea," explains Larsen. "It's got no overturning forces." He says the wind and water forces are in alignment. "It's like someone trying to push you over by pushing at the soles of your feet."
The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots -- a concept that was well ahead of his time.
Larsen's team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Building on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.
In Namibia last month they were unable to go any faster than 51 knots, but Larsen is certain they're not far off the mark. He thinks it's a matter of redesigning the boat's foils. "One of these days we'll get the foil right and I think we'll smash the record."
The professional sailor is determined that there is no vessel like it in the world. It's because of this Larsen is reluctant to talk openly about the specifics of the sailrocket's design as they continue their endeavor to break the record.
He's now back in England working on new foils that will hopefully provide them with the edge they need to get the record. They aim to return to Namibia, perhaps as early as April, to try again.
But the attempts are not without risks. Larsen likens the sailrocket's 500 meter course to an aircraft going down the runway, but with too much weight in its nose so it can't take off.
"It is dangerous," he concedes. "You go out there and you don't realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong."
He says the worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. "That's a killer. At least in the air you slow down."
But despite the dangers, Larsen and his team won't stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.

Many times in the emails I receive, there will be pictures of readers houses – usually fresh from moving in, or a recent remodeling. Rather than keep the pictures all to myself, I have decided to share them with you in an ongoing series called Readers Houses. Some of the houses are small and full of wonderful DIY projects and others are larger and look more professionally decorated – both are wonderful in their own way. Today – the reader's house comes from Deerfield, Illinois – just north of Chicago. The owners are a builder and his wife who is an interior designer. The couple sometimes collaborate on projects and their own house is the result of one such partnership. Their house was a true labor of love that they both enjoyed creating from the very first blueprint. The result of all their hard work is truly amazing. The photography itself is gorgeous which makes the house sing! I think you will thoroughly enjoy this newest Readers Houses installment! To see the pictures in their entirety – be sure to open your browser on maximum view – they are B-I-G!
The entry hall: from this paneled space – with its beautiful herringbone wood floors – you can see straight into the living area and on the right, into the dining room. The house is transitional – slightly contemporary and slightly traditional with a muted, quiet color scheme throughout (except for the children's rooms!) In the mirror on the right – you can see the banister of the staircase with its glass topped newel post leading upstairs. Unfortunately, there is no other picture of the stairs. Let's take a right first – into the dining room.
The dining room has beautiful wallpaper – all in soft taupe's and whites. A large mirrored cabinet between the two windows reflects the crystal chandelier. Remember – mirrors should always reflect something beautiful! Notice the ceiling, a soft metallic taupe, the same color as the wallpaper. The owner used a combination of chairs - tufted velvet mixed with host Chippendale styled painted wood chairs. The curtains are a loose weaved fabric that continue the shimmering quality of the room. What a beautiful dining room – so soothing!
Straight off the foyer is the living room. The mood from the dining room continues here with the soft taupes and accents of black. Here there is more velvet tufting, with the only pattern found in the silky pillows. The large seagrass area rug helps to tone the room down from being too dressy – but the overall atmosphere is one of tastefulness and sophistication. To the right of this room, through the black double doors is the computer room (see pictures below.) The wall next to the doors is mirrored which makes the entire living area appear larger.
The view of the living room that faces the left side of the house – here you can see the built in painted black cabinets and the pretty chaise lounge. The kitchen is through the opening here.
The kitchen is a large area with an adjoining breakfast area, dominated by a gorgeous built-in cabinet, painted black. Again, the same soothing feel is found here, but the taupe color is now replaced with white. Isn't that built-in gorgeous? I love the mirrored doors with the faux arches. The contemporary styled chairs are on one side of the long wood table and a banquette is on the other. And I love the series of light fixtures over the island – so effective!!!!
In the kitchen, the right side has no overhead cabinets – instead there is one long series of windows overlooking the back yard. The sink is incredible – so large it has two faucets! Amazing! And I love the open shelving filled with white dishes. The dark wood flooring helps to warm up the space which could have been too cold looking without it.
The range is another incredible part of the kitchen. Whoa. Pure lust – it's like a piece of jewelry in the kitchen!! The countertops are white marble. This kitchen is truly beautiful!!!
To the right of the living room, there's a wonderful computer room for the couple and their two daughters. Beautiful chairs! Notice how the children's art work has been framed and is placed around the countertop. Must make the girls so proud! All the boxes stored with crafts and paperwork are neatly labeled. Someone who lives here is seriously organized!!! And extremely neat - the house is spotless. This room is painted in the same soft taupe of the living room.
The computer room has a beautiful bay window, overlooking the back yard, which is fitted out with a cushion and pillows. Very pretty fabric shades at the windows. Such a nice tranquil space for homework and computer surfing. Wall to wall carpet helps cut down the noise level.
In the library, the color scheme changes and gets deeper with a dark blue velvet sofa and dark wood paneling. But the show stopper here is the fireplace! What a screen! It looks like a piece of art itself!!!
In the library two chairs face the velvet sofa. You may think the blanket is H for Hermes, but it is really H for Hunter, the adorable dog! Of course there would be an adorable dog in this house, everything else is!
Upstairs, the oldest daughter's room has a large scaled blue and green wall paper. I love the chaise in here – perfect for when friends spend the night. All the upstairs bedrooms have vaulted ceilings.
Daughter #1's adjoining bathroom has seafoam colored tiles and a charming little make up chair.
Daughter #2's room is more traditional – pink and green with a beautiful French caned headboard and side tables. She gets a window seat in her room for friends.
The master bedroom also has a large scaled wallpaper, but it is, of course, much more sophisticated than the daughters paper. A sitting area fills up the space in the large taupe and seafoam colored suite. Notice the scale of the upholstered headboard – brought up higher than usual so that it can be seen over the euro sized shams. A beautiful crystal chandelier lights the room, along with sconces instead of lamps.
The master bathroom is filled with white marble - and, as in the kitchen, there is beautiful cabinetry and very gorgeous hardware.
And finally – a view of the dormer window on the second floor. What an interesting vignette and what a beautiful house! It's so interesting to see what readers houses look like - they are all so different, yet share one quality – the owners all have a deep love of interior design.
Thank you so much to the homeowner who shared her beautiful house with us today! If you live in the Deerfield area and are interested in hiring her for interior design work, email me and I'll pass on your information to her. And remember – if you have a house you want to share with us online, send me the pictures!
