Network Working Group Y. Morishita Request for Comments: 4074 JPRS Category: Informational T. Jinmei Toshiba May 2005 Common Misbehavior Against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2005). Abstract There is some known misbehavior of DNS authoritative servers when they are queried for AAAA resource records. Such behavior can block IPv4 communication that should actually be available, cause a significant delay in name resolution, or even make a denial of service attack. This memo describes details of known cases and discusses their effects. 1. Introduction Many existing DNS clients (resolvers) that support IPv6 first search for AAAA Resource Records (RRs) of a target host name, and then for A RRs of the same name. This fallback mechanism is based on the DNS specifications, which if not obeyed by authoritative servers, can produce unpleasant results. In some cases, for example, a web browser fails to connect to a web server it could otherwise reach. In the following sections, this memo describes some typical cases of such misbehavior and its (bad) effects. Note that the misbehavior is not specific to AAAA RRs. In fact, all known examples also apply to the cases of queries for MX, NS, and SOA RRs. The authors believe this can be generalized for all types of queries other than those for A RRs. In this memo, however, we concentrate on the case for AAAA queries, since the problem is particularly severe for resolvers that support IPv6, which thus affects many end users. Resolvers at end users normally send A and/or AAAA queries only, so the problem for the other cases is relatively minor. Morishita & Jinmei Informational [Page 1] RFC 4074 Common Misbehavior Against DNS Queries May 2005 2. Network Model In this memo, we assume a typical network model of name resolution environment using DNS. It consists of three components: stub resolvers, caching servers, and authoritative servers. A stub resolver issues a recursive query to a caching server, which then handles the entire name resolution procedure recursively. The caching server caches the result of the query and sends the result to the stub resolver. The authoritative servers respond to queries for names for which they have the authority, normally in a non-recursive manner. 3. Expected Behavior Suppose that an authoritative server has an A RR but has no AAAA RR for a host name. Then, the server should return a response to a query for an AAAA RR of the name with the response code (RCODE) being 0 (indicating no error) and with an empty answer section (see Sections 4.3.2 and 6.2.4 of [1]). Such a response indicates that there is at least one RR of a different type than AAAA for the queried name, and the stub resolver can then look for A RRs. This way, the caching server can cache the fact that the queried name has no AAAA RR (but may have other types of RRs), and thus improve the response time to further queries for an AAAA RR of the name. 4. Problematic Behaviors There are some known cases at authoritative servers that do not conform to the expected behavior. This section describes those problematic cases. 4.1. Ignore Queries for AAAA Some authoritative servers seem to ignore queries for an AAAA RR, causing a delay at the stub resolver to fall back to a query for an A RR. This behavior may cause a fatal timeout at the resolver or at the application that calls the resolver. Even if the resolver eventually falls back, the result can be an unacceptable delay for the application user, especially with interactive applications like web browsing. 4.2. Return "Name Error" This type of server returns a response with RCODE 3 ("Name Error") to a query for an AAAA RR, indicating that it does not have any RRs of any type for the queried name. Morishita & Jinmei Informational [Page 2] RFC 4074 Common Misbehavior Against DNS Queries May 2005 With this response, the stub resolver may immediately give up and never fall back. Even if the resolver retries with a query for an A RR, the negative response for the name has been cached in the caching server, and the caching server will simply return the negative response. As a result, the stub resolver considers this to be a fatal error in name resolution.Show full document text

BlackBerry's Canadian TV Ad Outshines Super Bowl Stinker
Now this is an ad. BlackBerry may have fumbled with its commercial during the Super Bowl, but the company redeems itself with its first ad spot targeting Canadian customers.
BlackBerry posted an ad called "BlackBerry Z10 Keep Moving" to its YouTube channel on Monday night, just before the handset goes on sale in Canada.
Frankly, this ad — or a variation thereof — is what should have aired during the Super Bowl. It's engaging, well-shot and most importantly, it highlights some of the coolest features of the Z10 and BlackBerry 10.
Even the song — "Elephant" by Tame Impala (iTunes link) — is catchy. Plus, intentional or not, the transitions seem to be an homage to Mike Nichols' famous musical montage in The Graduate.
BlackBerry also cut together a 30-second version of the ad, which you can watch, below. Let us know what you think about BlackBerry's "Keep Moving" ad campaign in the comments.

Haskell Quiz/DayRange
From HaskellWiki
DayRange (#92)
If you've ever created a web application that deals with scheduling recurring events, you may have found yourself creating a method to convert a list of days into a more human-readable string.
For example, suppose a musician plays at a certain venue on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. You could pass a list of associated day numbers to your object or method, which might return "Mon-Wed, Sat".
The purpose of this quiz is to find the best "Haskell way" to generate this sentence-like string.

Recent revelations about Flame, the most sophisticated cyber-worm ever created, and David Sanger's White House-authorized leak of classified information confirming US-Israeli collaboration in creating the Stuxnet and Duqu viruses, raise the question of how committed the US is to a negotiated resolution of the nuclear impasse with Iran.
A former senior Israeli government minister has told us that, just as Sanger confirmed Stuxnet was created in partnership with the IDF's Unit 8200 cyber warfare unit, Flame was created by similar figures in Israel. Stuxnet's main purpose was to sabotage Iran's uranium enrichment program. A Flame variant appears to have wiped out the hard drives of specific Iranian officials and damaged the National Iranian Oil Company's computer network last month, forcing some oil terminals to go offline.
Flame has even broader goals and capabilities. It targets specific computers and surveils the entire system, takes screenshots of instant messaging (IM) activity, and can turn on a microphone to monitor audio activity as well. Computers in a number of Arab countries deemed hostile to Israel (mostly Iran, but also Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Russia) have been infected.
Our source also confirms that Flame is the first cyber weapon used by Israeli intelligence to target its own citizens also. For example, Haaretz reports (Hebrew) on the gargantuan power struggle between the former IDF chief of staff Gaby Ashkenazi and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, which involved charges of spying, counter-spying and forged memos investigated by the security services. Our Israeli source tells us that the Shin Bet installed Flame on the computer of Barak's chief of staff after Ashkenazi complained the former was spying on him.
Sanger, meanwhile, writes that the Obama administration saw cyber warfare as an inexpensive, non-lethal method of covert war against Iran that would keep Israel on a leash, preventing it from attacking Iran militarily. The US president judged a military strike as being a worse evil than computer sabotage.
But there are major problems with cyber warfare as a tool of national policy. First, if the US really does want to reduce Iran's perceived nuclear threat through negotiations, covert acts of sabotage only hinder such diplomatic efforts. The fiercely nationalist Iranians will not take kindly to such acts, particularly in light of cyber warfare being part of a broader and sometimes lethal campaign widely attributed to the Mossad of Israel and Iranian dissident forces, which has also included the assassination of key Iranian nuclear scientists. Given that oil is vital to Iran's economy, might not that nation consider the type of strategic sabotage described above as an act of war?
Can we imagine how the US would react if a competing power engaged in such acts of terror against us? In fact, we don't need to: the Wall Street Journal reported a year ago that the Pentagon determined that computer sabotage may constitute an "act of war" against the United States, to which we might respond militarily. So, in effect, we are doing to Iran precisely what we've said we might attack another country for doing to us.
Second, if negotiations fail, as they had until their recent revival, then the US would be left with a bunch of sanctions and computer worms as a substitute for an articulate strategy toward Iran. If war is to be avoided, how do sanctions and cyber-attacks represent a substantive policy? As the Iraq experience taught us, failed sanctions may be merely a prelude to military operations.
There is a great danger of counterterror tactics and strategy, which includes cyber warfare, becoming a policy in and of itself. We've seen the use of drones to attack Islamist militants in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere become so common that there appears to be no other current strategy to engage these countries. Our relations with them are becoming embroiled in the controversy over drone attacks and their invasion of territorial sovereignty, crowding out any other, more constructive form of engagement.
Obama faces the same problem regarding his counterterror strategy and relations with the Arab world as outlined in Scott Shane's New York Times investigative piece, which exposed the terror kill list personally vetted and approved by the president. Instead of having a genuine policy toward the Arab world, Obama seems to have an effective drone counterterror tactic that efficiently kills reputed Islamist terrorists in numerous Arab countries (along with several hundred innocent bystanders).
There's yet another troubling element of the Stuxnet story reported by Sanger. As Gawker pointed out, the White House has not denied that it authorized the leak of classified materials that the New York Times reporter used for his story. This means the Obama administration wants Americans and Israelis to hear about its cyber warfare successes. Barack Obama clearly wants to burnish his national security credentials and Stuxnet allows him to do that.
The most critical long-term danger posed by cyber warfare, however, is "as ye sow so shall ye reap". In other words, now we've done it to the Iranians. But they are quick learners and shrewd. After containing the sophisticated computer worms, they will modify them for use in their own cyber warfare. What will stop Iran from doing it to us? Our cyber security experts have told us that no matter how "hard" a target we are, this country is so dependent on computer technology that there will be millions of weaknesses to exploit. A determined enemy will find a way to exploit them. If the enemy is skilled enough, the damage could be catastrophic.
What defense can we then mount as we face such a tragedy, when it is we who, in effect, have unleashed this weapon upon the world? If a building, bridge, power plant or airliner fails through such sabotage, can we truly say we are innocent victims?
Sanger's Mutually Assured Cyberdestruction makes it quite clear that the Obama administration has not plumbed the profound moral and strategic implications of the US embrace of cyber warfare against Iran and other enemies:
"'They approached the Iran issue very, very pragmatically,' one official involved in the discussions over Olympic Games [US cyber warfare program] told me. No one, he said, 'wanted to engage, at least not yet, in the much deeper, broader debate about the criteria for when we use these kinds of weapons and what message it sends to the rest of the world'."
When will we be ready to pursue this debate? After hundreds have been killed by a US nuclear plant explosion, or after one of our viruses runs rampant and poisons the water supply of a major Iranian city (to use but two of many possible examples)?
Again, once we've used this weapon on our enemies, we've opened a Pandora's Box – which others will seek to exploit also. Are we so certain that our use of the cyber weapons has been and will continue to be just, pure and morally defensible, compared to those who follow us who may or may not have our compunctions?
We should ask another question: how much benefit has the use of cyber sabotage brought us? A thousand centrifuges in Natanz (20% of Iran's inventory) destroyed. A nuclear program delayed by a few months, possibly a year. Is the potential short and long-term impact on the world worth such limited gains? Personally, we believe the national security considerations that approved the use of these cyber weapons were exceedingly short-term. We planted seeds and could reap the whirlwind.

What is the OECD Forum?
The OECD Forum is the "must-go" event on today's international agenda
The OECD Forum is a "multi-stakeholder summit" which brings together business and labour leaders, civil society personalities, government ministers and leaders of international organisations to discuss the hottest issues on the international agenda.
OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría notes risks and presents responses to the economic crisis, including global co-operation on medium and long-term strategies to be discussed during OECD's Forum and Ministerial Council Meeting.
"The OECD is a hub for dialogue on global economic issues and the OECD Forum is key in this endeavour... We are convinced that we can only find these solutions through an enhanced dialogue and co-operation among all stakeholders"
The OECD Forum takes place in conjunction with the annual OECD ministerial summit which will be chaired by Korean Prime Minister HAN Seung-soo.
"Today, the world continues to face a weakening global economy. While our generation is not unique in confronting various crises, the combined magnitude of the current financial turbulence, shaped by the forces of globalization, is indeed without historical reference. Every single issue we confront today is constantly affected by changes that are occurring well beyond our nominal controls and national boundaries." Read more
Forum speakers are usually at the level of Minister or CEO. Forum 2008 attracted approximately 1700 participants from 68 countries.

With mushrooms growing out of the bodies of buried but still living victims, a pair of lungs prepared gourmet-style by the famously cannibalistic doctor, and with enough spurting blood to rival a premium cable series, "Hannibal" is off to a strong start as one of the grisliest dramas on broadcast TV.
The characters are so compelling, however, that you may give in to the gore-fest. Hugh Dancy as Special Agent Will Graham, Laurence Fishburne as Agent Jack Crawford and Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Hannibal Lecter are a strong triangle at the heart of the story. Each inhabits his character with authority, making the twisted minds seem credibly skewed. The soundtrack is wonderfully eerie, suggesting the damaged inner lives.
Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies") has created an effective backstory for one of the great villains of modern crime fiction. The premise: Before "Silence of the Lambs," before "Red Dragon," Hannibal Lecter (Mikkelsen of "Casino Royale") was a brilliant psychiatrist in the employ of the FBI. He was recruited by FBI boss Jack Crawford (Fishburne, "Man Of Steel"), the head of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, to crack the tough cases. Now Lecter must help a sensitive but gifted criminal profiler, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, "The Big C"), who is haunted by his ability to see into the minds of serial killers. Will, the hunter of psychopaths, finds himself seated opposite Hannibal, the biggest psychopath with the biggest secret, discussing dark feelings and precarious mental states.
Fuller's series is based on characters from the book "Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris. While this level of violent imagery is not my cup of tea, I was drawn in by the characterizations. Consider that a warning, and bon apetit.

Atlantic Yards in 2012: A huge debut for Barclays Center; lingering taint and questions mostly pushed aside by arena events, pro sports, and lauded building
|Reuters photo from first Nets home game
The year 2012 marked a seismic shift in the Atlantic Yards saga. The conflict over the project, and lingering questions over the promises behind it, were mainly supplanted by celebration of and hype for the Barclays Center (and events within) and Brooklyn Nets.
Not only did most press coverage come from the sports and entertainment media, rather than the potentially more skeptical Metro pages, the buzz was compounded by something arena developers surely didn't imagine when Atlantic Yards was announced in 2003: social media.
Fractional team/arena owner Jay-Z--far more important than developer Bruce Ratner could've imagined--generated huge headlines and social media impact with his eight straight concerts, purported design of the Nets' black-and-white logo, and even a viral encounter with a lady on the subway. He even made the cover of the New York Times T Magazine supplement, interviewed by a genuflecting Zadie Smith.
Meanwhile, there was much paid media, with the Brooklyn Nets producing a skein of sponsorships and saturation advertising. Nets' merchandise flew off the shelves Even if it remains unclear exactly how much of "Brooklyn" has embraced the team, "Brooklyn" remains a potent signifier.
For Forest City Ratner, there was a value to the project delays. With no flagship tower looming at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, the arena and project make a more modest impact, and the temporary plaza seems public, the temporary oculus--with its digital signage--already iconic to some.
|The new subway entrance
Meanwhile, the march of other towers to the north on Flatbush Avenue has softened the impact of the planned Atlantic Yards towers, at least on arena block.
But no one's reckoned with the project as a whole; such renderings don't exist. (Remember planner Ron Shiffman's 2006 warning, "The density proposed by Forest City Ratner far exceeds the carrying capacity of the area's physical, social, cultural, and educational infrastructure.")
Is AY done?
Atlantic Yards may seem done, as the controversy has mostly subsided, but it's not; the cumulative impacts of the entire project--not just the arena--are what alarmed people and, indeed, the lingering court case reminds us that there are 16 towers to be built.
The larger issues--the taint over the arena process--have been nudged aside by most though not forgotten. There were still protests.
And even the New York Times, which displayed notably variable coverage, cited that Bruce Ratner's " reputation for promising anything to get a deal, only to renegotiate relentlessly for more favorable terms."
I call this all part of the Culture of Cheating.
But even legitimate stories have been mostly ignored by the media: court decisions ordering the state to perform a Supplementary Environmental Impact Statement on the impact of a potential 25-year buildout; the demise of Community Benefits Agreement signatory BUILD, the failure to provide the promised 2,000 $15 tickets before each game. (Forget complicated stuff like the funding from immigrant investors.)
Could it hurt to have the Daily News as your partner on the plaza? Do media outlets depend too much on Barclays ads? Or is it just media fatigue?
Atlantic Yards, I wrote last year, "will be a case study in public relations." Developer Bruce Ratner this year claimed that, in 100 years, "No one will care what we had to do to make it happen." (Maybe, but for now, and we'll remember.)
Making their luck
Though arena developers--Forest City Ratner, with Mikhail Prokhorov's Onexim Group--spent big money on advertising and promotion, they did several things right, enough to ensure that most coverage--from a press generally willing to be spoon-fed--focused on the positive:
- they hired SHoP to put that lizard skin on (and revamp) an Indiana barn of an arena (and none of the enthralled architecture critics mention the missing office building)
- they hired locally and trained workers to be pleasant (though most jobs pay low, part-time wages)
- they involved Brooklyn food vendors (though under the corporate umbrella of Levy restaurants, and at high prices)
- they got it all open in time (though without the promised community events pre-opening)
- they gave away tickets to local nonprofits (though the promise of 2,000 $15 tickets was something of a dodge, and there have been no community events)
- big-name concerts were a huge success (even if promised monthly boxing turned into quarterly, at best)
SHoP, the hot local architecture firm hired has turned out to be a much better fit, after all, than Frank Gehry. The latter's fame may have been necessary to get Forest City support and publicity, but Gehry had the unfortunate habit of shooting off his mouth, cracking that protestors "should've been picketing Henry Ford" and calling Bruce Ratner "do-gooder, liberal," just like him. SHoP principals have been good, creative soldiers, fulling that $54 million investment (the new facade), made, as Forest City would say, "for public reasons."
Navigating the tight fit
|Banners that came and went in Prospect Heights
Perhaps the biggest fear--Carmageddon from traffic jams--has been averted, thanks to use of transit and a heavy police presence, neither of which Forest City will pay for.
Still, there's little margin for error and, as documented steadily by Atlantic Yards Watch, out-of-control fans (as with Bieber), idling limos (especially from expensive concerts), booming bass (from a couple of bass-heavy concerts) and chaos on Park Slope streets (often), the nearest neighbors still bear the brunt of an arena encroaching on residential districts.
Building on Brooklyn
"Brooklyn will become a chant," promised the Nets' advertising and, indeed, it did, bolstered by a surprisingly good team anthem (but not by a cartoonish mascot). "September is just the beginning," promised another ad.
The Nets have been bolstered by two flattering tv/web series, The Association (from NBA TV) and Road to Brooklyn (from Jay-Z's Life+Times channel). Team owners have done their best to make a connection with the Dodgers.
Despite bad luck in the draft and free agency, the Nets achieved a rapid roster revamp, with Mikhail Prokhorov opening his wallet to (over)pay for Joe Johnson and re-sign Deron Williams. In November, that looked golden, as the Nets streaked to victory. In December, the team floundered, leading to the firing of the coach.
And there was more. Indeed, in October came the surprising news that the New York Islanders, mired in an antiquated arena on Long Island, would move to Brooklyn in 2015, if not sooner, and move to an arena distinctly made for hoops, not hockey--but able to take advantage of public transit and a lucrative TV contract.
Changing accountability landscape
Despite a significant moral victory in court, and a couple of protests, project opponents and critics generally diminished their activity. Though Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and BrooklynSpeaks (and its component groups) were joined by others in the protests, the single busiest initiative, understandably, was Atlantic Yards Watch, tracking the impacts of the project.
The valuable compendium No Land Grab ceased regular publication after the arena opened, and a New York Times article chronicled those "exhausted" by losing the battle--but failed to point out the community victory in court and the ongoing need for oversight and skepticism.
"There's nothing I want more than not to be involved," Peter Krashes, active in AY Watch, told the Times. "The problem is, only when paid professionals working in the public interest are doing their jobs do I get to go away."
Council Member Letitia James and state Senator Velmanette Montgomery appeared at protests. Council Member Steve Levin convened meetings about arena impacts. While the project may have a role in local politics--even State Senator Eric Adams and Assemblyman (now Congressman-elect) Hakeem Jeffries held a protests about delayed benefits-- the arena has an unmistakable gravitational pull.
There were more Brooklyn elected officials at the arena ribbon-cutting than at the 2010 groundbreaking, and a few different ones at the groundbreaking for the first tower, B2. And critics and opponents have been placed in the somewhat awkward position--which should be occupied by Ratner's allies--of pointing out the failure to produce promised jobs and housing.

This September, our team is joining an army: 5000+ SickKids supporters rallying together at a new fundraising event for SickKids, GetLoud. $2.5 million is our collective fundraising goal. We're building a new SickKids, and it's going to take all of us.
SickKids has always been on the front lines in the fight for children's health. But the clinical facilities at SickKids are close to 70 years old. Today, one of the biggest battles at SickKids is against the limits of an old building.
Help us unleash the full potential of SickKids by donating online – it's safe, secure and easy. Any amount you give today will help us reach our fundraising goal.
Let's rally, march, and celebrate. When we unite in the fight against limits at SickKids, we're unstoppable.

ERGO-NOMIC | Washbasin tap By Rexa Design
Design washbasin tap with adjustable spout
The shape of mixers pocket is the main element that joins together all the items of the Ergo_nomic collection.
With Ergo-nomic everything is within reach and easy to use. This Corian®bathroom system is characterized by the high level of attention paid to ergonomics in order to make everyday tasks simpler and more relaxing. Ergo-nomic includes bathtubs, washbasins, showers, cabinets, mirrors, shelves, and many useful bathroom accessories. The taps, in steel and Corian®, are incorporated in order to guarantee the highest levels of comfort, ergonomics and fluidity of movement. The controls in the bathtub, for example, are elegantly integrated into appropriate spaces and the water can be easily adjusted even when lying back in the bath. The shower shelf, the bathroom accessories and the fully equipped mirror unit have all been designed in order to offer users the highest levels of usability and comfort. The extremely adaptable Corian®and stainless steel materials used have proved to be perfect for this project. The Corian® furnishing element complies with the concept of ergonomics by integrating taps that have been specially designed for the system. The use of solid elm wood as an alternative to Corian®and selected lacquered colors for the front panels complete the wide range of finishes available.

The European Central Bank must act sooner rather than later in order to avoid a grave outcome for the euro area and possibly the euro itself, according to Credit Suisse Economist Yiagos Alexopoulos.
"The deterioration in liquidity and pricing in euro area government bond markets means an aggressive policy response is urgently needed," Alexopoulos wrote in a research note.
Liquidity needs to be in place by the time major euro zone governments begin heavy issuance in early 2012 according to Alexopoulos, who believes only the ECB can achieve this outcome via "a large-scale asset purchase program of quantitative easing."
This would mean the ECB buying up huge amounts of euro zone debt in the secondary market, something Alexopoulos thinks would be justifiable under the current "Treaty if it was undertaken for monetary policy purposes."
1 trillion euros ($1.33 trillion) would be needed for the program to achieve the required results according to Alexopoulos who believes those with lower debt to gross domestic product ratios would be the biggest winners.
"An ECB QE program would reduce the safe haven premium in bunds. Thus, we expect a bold move from the ECB to result in higher German yields and core curve steepening," he wrote.
This and the fear of inflation lay at the heart of Germany's opposition to such a move but there would be winners, according to Alexopoulos.
"In terms of the periphery, the main beneficiaries are countries with relatively lower debt-to-GDP ratios. We expect Spain to outperform versus Italy and Belgium," he said.

1 1/4-pound eggplant, unpeeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups olive oil
4 large shallots, peeled, quartered
1 large red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped pitted brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata)
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 ounces rigatoni or other tubular pasta
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt in large bowl. Turn eggplant out onto paper towels and let drain 30 minutes. Pat eggplant dry.
Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add eggplant to oil; cook until golden, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to clean paper towels. Reserve 5 tablespoons eggplant frying oil. Toss shallots and whole bell pepper with 3 tablespoons reserved oil on large baking sheet. Roast until shallots are tender, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. Place shallots and eggplant in large bowl. Continue roasting bell pepper until skin blackens, about 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, core and seed pepper. Cut into thin strips lengthwise, then cut strips crosswise in half. Add bell pepper strips, olives and garlic to eggplant and shallots.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Return pasta to pot. Add all vegetables and remaining 2 tablespoons reserved eggplant frying oil and toss over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta among plates and serve.

text: Lip Service 1. Pick the right shade. What most of us do: Swipe a possible new color on the back of our hand to see if it flatters. A better idea, says San Antonio-based celeb makeup artist Starley Murray: Test the lipstick on your fingertip -- that way, you can hold the color next to your face to see how it looks. (No mirror? Your finger is still a better gauge, since it's similar in color and texture to your lips.) 2. Get buff. For the prettiest finish, run your toothbrush over your lips to exfoliate any dry skin (a damp paper towel also can do the job). Post-scrub, lipstick will glide on without caking. 3. Fill in fine lines. Here's a way to keep lipstick from feathering (a great trick if you have tiny wrinkles above your upper lip): Coat your mouth and go slightly outside your lip line with a clear balm - like plain ChapStick -- before applying color. "Like invisible spackle," says celebrity makeup artist Shalini Vadhera, "it keeps your lipstick from traveling." 4. Extend the life of your lipstick. So you'd like your color to last through lunch, but you don't like the feel of long-wearing formulas? Here's a tip from makeup guru Laura Mercier: Apply a coat of regular lipstick, then press it with a single-ply tissue and powder lightly (over the tissue) with a puff or brush. This sets the color and prevents running and feathering. 5. Plump up. For a finishing touch, dab the middle of your lower lip with a bit of silver or gold lip gloss. Any makeup artist worth his shimmer powder will tell you this is the fastest route to creating the illusion of fullness. But remember: If you blot or purse your lips, you'll blur the Jolie effect. Fresh Eye-Deas 1. Fight droop. Lightly shade the area just above the arch of your brow with a nude or white liner and blend, advises Jo Davis, artistic director for Trucco Cosmetics. "This subtly lights up your face and creates the illusion of higher brows and lids, which is great for droopy or tired eyes," she says. 2. Smudge-proof your liner. Apply it with a pencil or a tiny brush, then trace over the line with a matching powder shadow. To make it last even longer: Wet your shadow brush with Visine first. 3. Make your eyes look larger. Place a lash curler at the roots of your lashes, then slowly "walk" it out to the tips, pressing as you go, says Sydney, Australia, makeup expert Napoleon Perdis. 4. Outsmart your mascara. Love the waterproof kind but hate wrestling to remove it? Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose applies a coat of regular mascara first, then tops it with waterproof. "This way, the waterproof formula locks onto the other mascara instead of your lashes, so it comes off more easily -- when you want it to," he says. 5. Widen your eyes. To look more refreshed, use white or nude eyeliner -- but this time, below your eyes, not above. Pull down gently on your undereye and trace the line between the lower lashes and the inside rim. Stop before you reach your tear ducts. Complexion Perfecters 1. Conceal flaws...strategically. A full face of foundation -- or too much concealer -- can look and feel unnatural, says Mercier. She advises using cover-up only where you need it (and, where you don't, letting your own skin shine through). Blend. 2. Try a soft touch. Your ring finger is the perfect tool for applying makeup, says Davis, because it's the weakest digit. The more powerful index finger may apply color too boldly or tug too much (hello, wrinkles!) on your delicate skin. 3. Look luminous. Every face has natural shadows, and you'll look better if you brighten them, says Craig Jessup, makeup artist for Kevyn Aucoin Beauty. To find the shady spots, he says, just smile at yourself in the mirror. "You'll see darker areas -- like your Cupid's bow, under your bottom lip and at the inner corners of your eyes." To lighten those areas, dab on shimmery white eye shadow. Blend if necessary. 4. Give yourself a mini face-lift. Apply blush starting at your upper cheekbone (at the hairline near your ear) then brush across your cheek horizontally -- not diagonally or downward -- until you get to the center of your face. "You'll be thrilled to see the difference when your blush is darkest at the hairline and faded at the apples, instead of vice versa," says Murray, "because it's more youthful."

This is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen. For years, I've been frozen by indecision as a grappled over whether to buy a boat or an RV. Now, the choice is clear. I'll have both!
Imagine the possibilities your life would hold if you owned one of these things. You'd be the life of every reservoir lake from Tulsa to Winnemucca. Plus, if you were ever on the run for operating a rolling meth lab, you could just pop the boat into the Gulf of Mexico (because you'd obviously be in Florida) and flee to Mexico, where last I heard, there are no laws.
I'd totally live in this thing. Talk about classy.

Monday March 18, 2013
Ms Murky Mondays:
College Kids at the Table
A great thing happened this weekend. My stepdaughter, Caroline and her boyfriend, Adam plus two of his friends all surprised us for a visit. Caroline did call an hour before arriving to let me know and ask if it were OK. OK?? It's more than OK - they are 150% welcome - ANYTIME!! An unsolicited visit is like a gift!! What made me giggle and my heart sing was that Caroline and Adam both sold the idea of coming to Boulderwood by using my cooking as the hook.
Who knew that 18 and 19 year olds would be interested in dining with adults, then playing some pool and ending the evening with a word association game of Apples to Apples. They were completely present. They relished their food, conversed with us and enjoyed sitting in front of the fire playing . Not once did any of them text, tweet, snap chat, instagram, FB etc..
I have such gratitude that all the years of homemade meals that seemed to be taken for granted actually made an impact on Caroline and they are now offered as a selling point for a visit. This, to me, is the definition of success.
Life is good!
And by the way, we loved playing the word association game and seeing the generational differences and similarities. It was the pop culture stuff where I saw the differences - like, one of them had no idea who Lucille Ball was. I guess I have some 'splanen to do!
And, on the menu: Homemade Organic Buffalo Chicken WIngs, Gluten free liguini with tomatoe sauce (canned last fall), homemade garlic bread, salad with homemade dressing. Dessert: s'mores at the fireplace in the Living Room.

Telcos must welcome the development of the National Broadband Network (NBN) as a chance to innovate, or face unpopularity, a member of TM Forum said.
Tony Kalcina told industry members at the TM Forum Spotlight Event that telcos are already loosing popularity among consumers.
"There are cracks appearing in profitability and in the industry," he said. "The evidence is clear – something has to happen.
"The mighty can fall... you could be the cleverest, have access to all this information and technology but if you don't make money, you can fail."
Kalcina compared the telephone's impact on the telegram industry to the emergence of the NBN, saying that the telecommunications sector must evolve and view the NBN as a positive rather than an inhibitor.
"My thought is that the NBN is a springboard for the telecommunications player, they need to reinvent themselves," he said. "Try to reinvent yourself by putting yourself in the shoes of your customer to remind yourself of what you need."
Kalcina said telcos like Telstra must reinvent business models to survive a post-NBN world.
"What's the answer for telecoms players in the NBN world?" he said. "We need to look backwards.
"... The first thing you do is reinvent yourself, reinvent the business model. The other thing is that you do it now – make it with a sense of urgency."
While telco giant Telstra last week urged the government to ban NBN Co from competing with retailers, collaboration between telcos was a vital step, according to Kalcina.
"The future is creating across industry to empower humans in a smart, collaborative society," he said. "... It's about automating the delivery of value."
The insights come as Senator Kate Lundy last week said the NBN would create more opportunities for Australians to work from home.

Hello, I suppose you can complain to paypal if they do such things.
Purchased lifetime advertisements on some of the toplists, and they are literally falling apart. People are out hundreds of dollars, because the toplist owners are selling all of the space and then taking off.
poshmomboutiques sold her site dry, and seems to have completely abandoned it.
alexastreasure dumped the domain her banners were on, and has never returned to the site to fix them.
This is really ridiculous that people are allowed to take in thousands of dollars (poshmomboutique has raked in about $14,000) to sell lifetime advertisements and then just dump the lists. I wonder if there are even laws regarding that type of fraud.
People should be held accountable. At least allow the sites to be fixed or something. Maybe create some type of rules where people that create lists need to maintain them or something.
Hello, I suppose you can complain to paypal if they do such things.
I think you're missing the point or just don't care. There should be some overseeing of the toplists. It's not doing your site any good to have so many lists with invalid image links.
Hello, gotop100 is a free hosting for tops. It's like blogspot for blogs.
There is an option for toplist owner to add it's own HTML to his toplist including images from other hosts.
Of course I can disallow adding links to images on other hosts in HTML but this means that toplist owner will be seriously limited - it will not have possibility to add even a counter to his toplist.
For example I have a blog on blogspot. I made posts with links to images on hosts other then blogspot. After some time I abandoned my blog and after some time these hosts removed these images or their domains expired or they put antihotlink. In result I have broken images on my blog. What can blogspot do about this? I think nothing.
