The other issue if one does use glibc is what happens when say a different NSS module is in use than the default, and so all of a sudden calling getpwuid_r() involves creating a TCP socket or something?
SELinux at least has high-level macros in the policy source, as well as runtime booleans that map to popular system configurations.
That's not to say seccomp is bad - it clearly makes sense to use in the way Chrome is using it. But generalizing out is much harder.
Systemd gets seccomp filter support

"Takes a boolean argument. If true ensures that the service process and all its children can never gain new privileges. This option is more powerful than the respective secure bits flags (see above), as it also prohibits UID changes of any kind. This is the simplest, most effective way to ensure that a process and its children can never elevate privileges again."

Note that setting this is likely to defeat any selinux protections on the service (if any) -- until selinux adds some magic restrict-only mode and makes it work with no_new_privs, privilege transitions on exec won't happen.
systemd could get fancy and do the selinux transition itself, I suppose.
Take a look at the shiny docs in Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt

The nice thing about seccomp is that userspace is responsible for providing the policy, and the kernel just enforces it, and userspace can do a lot more analysis than is appropriate for the kernel to do.

AFAICT, the systemd syntax doesn't exclude the possibility of listing library functions in your syscall list, and having that trigger run-time mutation. And systemd is obviously constructing BFP based on a combination of your list and stuff it knows, if for no other reason than that it has to figure out syscall numbers from names.
Posted Jul 17, 2012 19:36 UTC (Tue) by mezcalero (subscriber, #45103) [Link]
Please don't think that the syscall filter thingy is intended to replace SELinux in any way. Syscall filtering is hardly comparable to what you can express with SELinux policy. This stuff is useful in a few cases however which SELinux doesn't really cover: it's trivial to write for admins, without the need to get the SELinux policy rebuilt and updated, third party software can easily make of this to lock itself down, and it works fine even in systemd user instances, i.e. to lock down individual user services or apps without any system policy updates.
So, if anybody tries to compare this with SELinux, then you are comparing apples and oranges and assuming that there was competition in something where there is no competition.
Posted Jul 17, 2012 19:43 UTC (Tue) by walters (subscriber, #7396) [Link]
You even do it yourself in the second paragraph:
"This stuff is useful in a few cases however which SELinux doesn't really cover: it's trivial to write for admins,"
I think "trivial to write for admins" is less true than you think. And of those issues are the same reasons that writing SELinux policy is hard; version skew of the "app" and the underlying system, delta between tested configuration and deployment, etc.
Posted Jul 17, 2012 19:56 UTC (Tue) by mezcalero (subscriber, #45103) [Link]
SystemCallFilter=~ioperm settimeofday clock_settime
And that's all yoou need to make sure that your process doesn't get access to any IO port or can change the time.

Pescara's initial m.o was to score 5 goals and hope that the other team doesn't keep up......now the defense is improving and they know that the other team WON'T keep up. If they had found a way to fix the defense earlier, they would have won the league in March
What is going on with Sampdoria??!
they have to convert those ties to wins....
I am expecting them to be in the top flight for next season....

i like these 23 teams i like to watch them and when i have them on my profile it's easier to go onto the profile to have a comment. I don't hate Liverpool hate is strong and i suppose you learnt that living in Serie B all your life. Heysel was a long time a go and English fans were very passionate and still are. Yes it's a tragedy but that doesn't anger me I hope those who died that day RIP no need for hate. I'm a pure Juventino and I'll love them till my heart stops beating and even when you never see me kissing the Old Lady's Badge. I lived through Calciopoli with them and when we finished in seventh that proves I love this club till I dye and FORZA JUVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Wood FVP204
FalconStudios.com Member Price:
The woods are lusty dark and deep ... and nine intrepid scouts are out for the adventure of their lives. Along the hidden trails, within their private campsites and around some rustic cabins, there is pleasure to be found and our horny cast is on the prowl eager to stake their claim and watch their mighty timbers rise and fall.
Scene 1
After pissing out his campfire, Chaz Riley takes a hike. He soon comes upon Landon Conrad standing alone aboard an abandoned train trestle playing with his cock. Wow ... and Chaz wants in on that action! He swoops in and swallows Landon's woody down his gullet, knoshing hungrily away on its hefty thickness. Next it's Landon's turn to chop the big guy down to size. He falls to his knees to suck on Chaz's dick and then rim his asshole. Once Chaz's sweet sphincter is ready and slicked with spit, Landon fucks him hard. Soon both of them are all jazzed up and neither can hold back any longer. Chaz and Landon jerk themselves off excitedly and then explode with bursts of cum.
Scene 2
Jayden Grey and Dominic Pacifico leave their tent and head off to the showers. Under a refreshing blast of water, the two happy campers make out and get down'n'dirty. Their frisky man-on-man foreplay attracts Zac Blake. He likes what he sees and quickly joins the duo to singlehandedly tune their meat whistles as birds chirp away in the background. Then just as eagerly, Zac hands Jayden a free ass pass so he can screw his hole while he continues sucking Dominic's dick. Zac beats himself off as his new buddies switch places and continue plugging him at both ends. He quickly climaxes and shoots his load, then takes off, leaving Jayden and Dominic to finish each other off. There's more vigorous ass-play with Jayden's hole stretched to the limit until both men finally spooge all over.
Scene 3
Rolling a wheelbarrow of heavy logs around is hard work and Steven Daigle is pooped. So when horny Aden Jaric drops by and teases him with a lewd proposal, Steven happily stops to take the muscly visitor up on his offer. Aden knows his way around wood, especially the one that's standing erect and stiff outta Steven's crotch and he immediately goes down on his new friend. Steven sits back, enjoying the feel of Aden's lips around his dick and grows dizzy with excitement. Soon he takes his turn to feed and he gets busy sucking Aden's cock and then eating out his ass. Steven then lays back and spreads his long legs wide apart so Aden can rim his hole. After that the guys start to fuck hard and good with Steven crying out for Aden to screw him more and more. And they continue fast and furious until both shoot their goopy loads.
Scene 4
Burly Mitchell Rock is getting quite a workout splitting logs, his muscled arms flexing firm and strong with every swing of his ax. Landon Mycles is drawn to the hunky woodsman and ambles up close to him with mischief on his mind. Mitchell is equally intrigued. He's anxious to get more familiar with the young man and even put the screws to him, so they start to rock'n'roll. They suck face before Landon goes down to suck cock. Mitchell plants his hand firmly on the back of Landon's head forcing him to bob open-mouth back and forth on his pole. Then Mitchell gets his chance to nurse on Landon's swollen cock and he savors every slurp up and down the dick shaft and then all around his bunghole. Ready for more Mitchell splits his pal's asshole with his cock, fucking him faster and faster, harder and harder. Landon is soaring with pleasure and they carry on until both men explode with spurts of hot cum.
Scene 5
Dominic Pacifico's found a clearing on the campgrounds where he decides to pass the time. No stick of wood to whittle down so he steps outta his dungarees and starts rubbing himself all over. By the time he slides his briefs down his dick is already hard and erect. Dominic grabs a hold and strokes his thick uncut cock, plays with his big balls and tweaks his tits. It feels so good knowing what speed to go as he works up a lather. Then he grasps his nuts with his right fist and with his left hand he slides up and down the shaft. The stroking starts slow then builds up faster and faster until he finally shoots his load.
Scene 6
Stripped down to his tighty whities, Zac Blake strokes his cock. His briefs can barely contain his already engorged love muscle so he shakes them off and really goes to town on himself. Zac gets up and bends over to expose his ass. He teases his hole and plunges a couple of fingertips inside; then he returns to work on his slender smooth dick. Zac's hand glides easily up and down his pole as he massages and kneads it. He is lost in the sensations he's creating and he relaxes, eyes closed, head tilted back while his hand continues flying back and forth the shaft in a rapid rhythm causing him to finally explode with cum.

In a mid-morning release to the media, Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Walt Jocketty has announced the team will make a managerial change heading into the 2014 season.
The new manager will replace Dusty Baker, who went 509-463 in his 6 seasons in Cincinnati. There was no announcement regarding changes on the coaching staff.
"This was a very difficult decision to make. Dusty played an important role in the recent success of this organization, and we thank him for his contributions during his time here," Jocketty said. "We feel a change is necessary, however, if we are to continue to move the organization forward."
Baker, 64, originally was signed by the Reds to a 3-year contract in October 2007.
Baker guided the Reds into the playoffs three of the last four years, but they never advanced.Baker has managed 20 years in the majors with San Francisco, the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati. His teams have won five division titles and he is a three-time NL Manager of the Year.
Cincinnati Reds Radio Network flagship station WLW reports possible replacements include pitching coach Bryan Price, former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Hall of Famer Joe Morgan.

Legendary NYC artist/tattooist Thom deVita (featured in a five-part series from Tattoo Age) will be a part of a major event at Kings Ave Tattoo NYC in conjunction with VICE all this weekend. There will be an art sale of Thom's work featuring books, art boxes and stencil-rubbings - plus, Thom himself will be there all weekend! If that weren't enough, a crew of heavyweight artists will be tattooing on location all weekend. Scott Harrison will be there will be tattooing deVita-inspired tattoos on Saturday and Sunday and we'll witness the work process of Chris O'Donnell as well as the stellar King's Ave crew: Mike Rubendall, Grez, Brian Paul, Justin Weatherholtz, Jason Tyler Grace and Frankie Caraccioli (check out the whole Kings Ave team's portfolio here). PLUS, should you want to get tattooed, some of the guys will be taking walk-ins all weekend and Grez will be taking walk-ins all day Sunday. What: Thom deVita Pop Up Gallery with VICE's Tattoo Age When: January 11th-13th Where: King's Ave | 188 Bowery (at Spring St), NYC - 2nd floor Time: 12-9pm daily Friday and Saturday, 1-7pm on Sunday (Full Disclosure: Marisa and I will be there on Friday around 6pm should you want to stop in and say hello to two blogger-dorks)
The final installment of Vice's "Tattoo Age" series focusing on Thom deVita has been launched (and it's quite a viewing, clocking in at over 24 minutes). Watch the installment above and don't forget to check out the entire series on the Vice website. In conjunction with the end of this wonderful, five-part film, Kings Ave Tattoo and Vice will be hosting an art show/sale on January 11-13th. (Via the @kingsavetattoo Instagram account): Thom's one of a kind creative rubbings from tattoo stencils, art boxes, signed books, and more will be available for purchase. The legendary artist himself will also be present to talk about his art and Scott Harrison will be tattooing deVita inspired tattoos Saturday and Sunday [...] Chris O'Donnell, Timothy Hoyer and [Mike] Rubendall himself will be present and working in the city alongside the everyday crew. Kings Ave Tattoo is located at 188 Bowery at the corner of Spring St. (on the second floor) in NYC. We'll see you there! |
More Thom deVita goodness from Vice's Tattoo Age series. In the fourth installment of this five-part feature, Thom talks about living and working in NYC's Lower East Side, with its grit, guns and junkies, before the luxury hotels and couture boutiques of today. An added bonus is artist and documentarian Clayton Patterson offering some history of the tattoo and art scene of LES, including stories and photos of Mike Mallone and Kate Hellenbrand's time with Thom, which changed their lives. Ed Hardy, Nick Bubash and other tattoo legends also share some of their own personal stories about Thom's innovation and influence. For me, the highlight is right at the beginning: Thom removing his shirt to show his Huck Spaulding dragon backpiece done in the sixties, a massive work tattooed at a time when people just didn't get big work. And you know, it still looks fantastic -- true to the adage, "Bold will hold." Check all the Thom deVita episodes: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 |

You know who likes John Coltrane? People who don't like jazz. While I disagree with that statement 100%, I'm still loving the Vice Tattoo Age series on (the steadfastly opinionated) Thom deVita. Check out part 3 above or click here to view it on YouTube. |

Vice.com dropped Part 2 of their Tattoo Age feature on Thom deVita, continuing to honor a man who gave so much to tattooing for so long. It starts off heavy, focusing on Thom's tremors in his hands from Parkinson's disease, but as he speaks about the seriousness of aging, he laughs and continues to make art in the process. That humor is ever-present throughout the video, particularly in his interactions with Nick Bubash, his longtime friend, whom he taught to tattoo in the 70s, and they still create together today. Artists of the new generation of tattooists pay reverence to Thom in the video as well, and it's an important reminder that we need to keep this respect for the craft and its history, and take care of our own. If you haven't seen Part 1, check it here. |

The much anticipated first installment of the five-part Tattoo Age episode featuring Thom DeVita is now online -- and it is a history lesson that you should not miss. Here's more from Vice on the segment: Even though Thom has been tattooing and creating art for almost 50 years, there isn't much information out there about him. He started tattooing in New York City's Lower East Side in the mid 60s--when tattooing was illegal in the city--and quickly began to forge his own style.Part 2 drops this Wednesday. Will link as well when it's up. |

Breaking from their usual (but excellent) short-form, Vice's "Tattoo Age" series will be doing a five-part series on Thom deVita, who began tattooing during the "illegal era" of NYC ink in the 1960s. The series of "inter-visits" (Thom doesn't do "interviews") debuts on November 21st on the Tattoo Age website. |

Vice TV's fantastic video series, "Tattoo Age," is coming back for a second season with promises of more kickass artist profiles. The line-up includes the legendary Thom Devita, Japan's Mutsuo of Three Tides Tattoo, and London's Valerie Vargas, the first woman tattooist profiled on the series. The first episode goes online next week. Here's more info from Vice: First up, on September 12, we have Valerie Vargas, who lives and works in London and is widely know for doing the most beautiful "lady head" tattoos around. Then on October 10 we have Mutsuo, a tattooer from Osaka, Japan, who learned from the great American artists who traveled to the shop where he worked in the early 00s. Mutsuo is known for his ability to flawlessly tattoo in just about any style. The season finale, on November 10, will feature Thom deVita, who started tattooing in New York City in the 60s, when tattooing was illegal in all five boroughs. Thom synthesized his environment into his tattoos and created quite possibly the most unique style of all time. We'll be posting the videos as they go live so you don't miss an episode. |

Fantastic, Jun 25, 2004 |
reviewer: Josh
from East Aurora |
I work here and have found that this course is one of the finest, best kept and most difficult courses i have ever played. The fun of this course is in the challenge of every hole, daring you to make one move or the other, with severe consequences awaiting the wrong decision, but isn't golf always that way! Very fun, I love it here. |

A Masterpiece, Feb 13, 2004 |
reviewer: David Hahn
from USA |
One of the best golf courses in the country. Very well balanced holes. equal amounts of doglegs left and right. Lengths vary so that almost every club in the bag is used. The rough is three feet tall if you miss the fairways. Very tough but very fair. Just simply one of the best in the USA. |

To say Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is highly anticipated is an understatement.
After The Avengers pulled in $1.5 billion globally and other Marvel blockbusters like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and the Iron Man franchise succeeded at the box office, ABC's collaboration with Marvel appeared to be a sure thing. Add to that that S.H.I.E.L.D. marks the television return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator and Avengers director Joss Whedon, who brings with him even bigger expectations for the new series.

Fans of canceled series Do No Harm, Zero Hour and 666 Park Avenue will be able to get some closure. The shows' final episodes will air on Saturdays beginning in June, The Futon Critic reports.
Question: Zero Hour canceled. OK. I get it. The ratings were too low in that time slot. But then I don't get it. This was, what, a planned 10-episode season? Three down, seven to go. It was always planned to be a mid-season short-run program. Aren't all the episodes already filmed and ready for broadcast? So the ratings are so low that they are willing to call it a complete loss? And execs think that reruns will generate more revenue in that same slot against the same competition? If you are losing the time slot ratings already, how does airing reruns change that result? And why not move shows like this to Saturday? They have already given up on Saturday programming as it is. At least let seasons like this run their course. — Joe

Darn tough socks feel so good on your feet. Good wool socks are an inexpensive comfort with so many benefits. Everyone should have several pairs.
Lifetime warranty!
By Michigan Joe
from Brignton, Michigan
These socks are not super heavy but certainly do the trick. They have a lifetime guarantee, which indicates that they will wear well. They certainly do appear to be a quality product.
Good on the trail, better on your feet!
By Feelin' Adventurous
from Kalamazoo, Michigan
I have worn these on the trail, around town, in the rain, on hot days and cool (not cold) evenings, with and without the liners. They are comfortable. I purchased them by chance, they were on sale. My regret was I ordered two pair but they only had one to send me! I like them, I will order another pair when they are available. When it snows here in Michigan these will ideal for the weather. "Take care of your feet and they will take care of you." Amen to that............

Prompted by a 2010 law passed by Congress, the Environmental Protection Agency recently proposed limiting formaldehyde in composite wood products like those commonly used in furniture, cabinetry and other household furnishings. And it has proposed setting up a system for third-party testing to ensure the industry is meeting the new standards.
The EPA believes these national rules will encourage an ongoing industry trend towards switching to no-added formaldehyde resins in composite wood products, which is a good thing for indoor air quality, which is often worse than air quality outdoors due to surprising sources of pollution like this.
Formaldehyde had already been labeled a "probable" human carcinogen, only because environmental groups and 5,000 individuals petitioned to make the federal watchdog consider the toxicity of the chemical, common in household products as a preservative, a component of glue or a chemical adding "permanent press" qualities to draperies and clothing.
Exposure to formaldehyde has been linked to watery eyes, headaches, depression and even cancer and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). People with existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and emphysema have an increased risk of reacting to formaldehyde, which can leach out from plywood, particleboard and fiberboard used in manufactured housing materials, including cabinets, flooring and other wood-based products. Often, it's the glue holding these products together that contains formaldehyde, which "off-gases" over time, so that people can breathe in toxic vapors.
To avoid formaldehyde when renovating, consider The Daily Green's recommendations for flooring and countertops.
Enter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.

Malaria is a major public health problem affecting large areas of the world, killing several million people, mostly children and pregnant woman, each year. Malaria is caused by unicellular parasites from the Plasmodium species that grow inside erythrocytes. We have been studying two aspects of the biology of Plasmodium falciparum that causes the most lethal form of malaria. One project focuses on the mechanism of purine transport into P. falciparum. Malaria are purine auxotrophs and require an exogenous source of purines to survive. We seek to characterize the purine nucleoside transporters and identify inhibitors as potential antimalarial drugs. The second project focuses on the physiology of the parasites during their 48 hour intraerythrocytic life cycle. We are characterizing the physiological changes that occur and the effects of anti-malarial drugs on the normal intracellular physiology.
Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels are essential components in synaptic transmission. They are a major target for drugs used clinically including general anesthetics. Our work focuses on the GABAA receptor, the major post-synaptic inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in brain. It is the target for drugs used clinically in the treatment of anxiety and epilepsy, and for general anesthesia. GABAA receptors are members of a gene superfamily that includes receptors for glycine, acetylcholine, and serotonin. We seek to provide a molecular understanding of the structural bases for receptor function, modulation by drugs and cellular trafficking. This would provide a basis for rational drug design and an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which general anesthetics function. We use a combination of techniques including site-directed mutagenesis, heterologous expression, covalent chemical modification and electrophysiology. These studies have identified the residues lining the channel, the location of channel blocker binding sites and identified conformational changes occurring during channel gating and modulation by drugs including valium and propofol.

I have been impressed with the advanced technology used in patient care. They are always very attentive in maintaining the comfort of the patient.

Dr. Emad replaced my veneers and was pickier about the end result than I was!! He sent back one set of veneers because they were just slightly off color from what he felt they should be. When the second set arrived, he made absolutely sure that my smile was perfect before letting me the office. He is a true artist who went above and beyond. Thank you Dr. Emad!

Thanks Felicia. You veneers came out absolutely beautiful.

USA Trip. Part 5. Hollywood.
I was talking about my amazing overseas holiday the other day, and it occurred to me that I still hadn't blogged about the last leg of our 3 week trip. Ooops!
You can read the other parts here:
After the blissful 8 days in Kansas, we begun the looong trip back home to Australia. By now, I was almost 32 weeks pregnant and feeling it. Ella had well & truly recovered from the virus she picked up in Canada, but it was becoming obvious that she was missing home...and missing Daddy!
The last day in the USA started early, with yet another super silly flight time, meaning we had to be up & on our way to the airport at 5am {again}. It was sad saying goodbye to Spen, Heidi & the kids, but also exciting that we were soon to be back at home. However, we still had a whole day to fill in LA, as our connecting International flight wasn't leaving until 10pm!
During the last few days in Kansas, I realised I had better make a decision on how the heck I was going to fill a whole day & evening in LA. I toyed with a few ideas. I considered getting a cheap hotel room for the day so we could at least store our luggage, swim, play, eat etc. But I thought that would be a waste of a chance to explore :) So I considered going all out & getting a limo or silver service car to drive us around all day to see the sights, but in the end I booked a day-long bus tour, which not only took us to all the main LA hot spots, but also stored our luggage...AND we weren't alone...a good chance to mingle with some other 'tourists'.
A few hours on the plane got us to LAX {and due to time differences....we gained some hours....making the day even longer haaa!}
Where I then juggled our 2 suitcases, 2 backpacks, 1 handbag, 1 extra carry-on, 1 stroller, a 3yr old & a big belly through one of the world's busiest airports to find the tour bus :)
Once we {finally} found the correct bus and loaded on.... the day officially begun! And what an amazing day it was.....
First stop....VENICE BEACH:
Where we cruised some cheap nic-nac stores and absorbed the crazy yet chilled lifestyle....
And headed to the beach for a quick sand play....and so we could say "Yeah, I've been on Venice Beach!". It was an overcast day but that didn't matter...the place was still buzzing....and I was happy to see the lifeguard towers in person....wish we had them here....very cool!
The basketball court in the background of the above photo.....the exact one where the movie "White Men Can't Jump!" was filmed.
We then hopped back on the bus, and headed to Santa Monica. Very cool. Another quick tick of my bucket list of places I want to see :)
And again, on this hectic day of travel & schedules & being ridiculously busy; Ella amazed me. Just shy of 3 and a half years old and this little lady of ours was being such a trooper. She was the only kid on the tour bus, and the day contained a lot of sitting, on again, off again, waiting, walking, rushing, looking, learning, listening & shopping. Yet, my little pal continued being the most amazing little travel buddy. She was interested in everything we saw and everywhere we went. She was polite & calm. She listened & followed instructions. She absorbed it all. And basically lived big....in true Ella style. At the end of the day, a few groups of people came up to me & complimented me on Ella's behaviour & attitude. They were shocked to learn she was only 3, and had been living out of a suitcase & traveling the world for the past 3 weeks. I felt so proud of my little Angel that day. Again, she made me LOVE being a Mumma.....HER mumma!
Ok...back to the day of cruising LA.....
After Santa Monica, we headed to Downtown LA and spent about 45minutes walking around a Latino Village. The markets were absolutely amazing! Full of life. Full of colour!
I'm pinching myself now that I didn't buy more that day from those markets....as everything was SO cheap yet mainly handmade! However, being the end of our trip I was scared our suitcases were nearing their weight limit, so only bought a beautiful handmade dress for Ella. And I gave her the option to buy 'anything' she wanted. And what does one buy in Downtown LA when given the chance??? A crappy pink toy dog that yaps annoyingly when you squeeze it's tummy. {and we probably could've bought the exact one here in the $2 shops.....but hey, that's ALL she wanted!!!}.
And a ride on a toy donkey / pony...I'm not quite sure what it was LOL.....
Back on the bus, and we headed into Hollywood :) We spent about an hour or so walking up the Hollywood Blvd and browsing the shops. Wow....I thought New York was hectic.....but this street was really hectic. Loud & fast & busy. Everyone seemed in a hurry. It seemed full of tourists though, more than locals or workers. Photos were snapping madly. Car horns beeping constantly. People & crowds EVERYWHERE!
We had pizza for lunch! And when I say pizza....OMG....a slice was HUGE! Like bigger than my head....for one slice hehehe!!!
Even though the pizza was ridiculously huge and there was no way in the world Ella could get through 1 slice...it was still gooooood. Perfectly greezy yet doughy. Yumm!!!
One thing I did notice in Hollywood, was how many homeless people there were. On every corner, a person with bags of 'stuff' & sitting with a sign begging for money. I threw in dollar notes whenever possible, to ease my conscious a little. Sounds silly doesn't it? But I felt guilty, that I was here....from overseas.....shopping & living & loving & exploring the world with my healthy, perfect daughter & thriving baby belly....and here they were....with NOTHING....nothing but a look in their eyes of complete hopelessness & pain. We even witnessed a horrible event {well...I did....Ella was too busy looking in the Disney Store window & was oblivious to everything around her....she was too busy admiring 'the real Donald Duck' thankfully} where a homeless man in a wheelchair {which was loaded completely with bags} somehow lost control of his wheelchair & it fell off the edge of the curb onto the busy street of Hollywood Blvd. He laid there in the gutter, as still as stone {out cold}, his wheelchair crumbled next to him, his bags of 'junk' scattered everywhere & blood just pouring from his head & down the drain like water. A lot of people jumped into action.....calling 911, signalling traffic to take care, barricading off the area so he was safe from anymore harm....but noone actually turned him over to see if he was still alive. Was it because he was homeless? And a smell was coming from him....that worse than anything I've ever smelt before! I guess so! Would people have helped me, turned me over, resuscitated me if necessary if I was the one to have fallen??? Probably!!! I don't know!! But we all stood back....scared....yet hoping for the best. An ambulance was there literally within minutes of the call and they started to cut his clothes off with big scissors. Before Ella could see too much, I walked off & took her into the Disney Store. I don't know if that man was dead or alive. I don't know what happened to him after that. But I felt really disturbed & gutted for the rest of the day with that vision etched in my mind. It got me thinking about his family? His story? How he ended up being a beggar on a street corner?
Moving on.....because we have to..... don't we?
We found some of our favourite celebrities in the 'Hollywood walk of fame'. Like Tinkerbell :)
And had cuddles with Mickey :)
We didn't get time to actually go to the Hollywood sign. But we climbed this gorgeous lookout & got beautiful views across the valley to the sign.
The day had cleared....blue skies had appeared. It was all kinds of lovely....being on what felt like 'on top of the world' in California. I kept pinching myself "Dude, you're in LA!!"
After a tour of the Beverly Hills area & the 'stars homes' {which I secretly found really fascinating}, we headed to Rodeo Drive! Yeeehaah!
We had about an hour to browse here. Ummm....I need to go back here.....an hour just wasn't long enough!
Lots of fabulosity happening here in this street!!!!!!! I didn't see any celebs though....boo!
But I did take a Pregnant Selfie Shot of me & my belly in the window of Louis Vuitton :) I want THOSE shoes!!!
Not so sure if Mr Vuitton would be too impressed with Ella's choice of seat though while she munched on her M & M's hahaha!
Rodeo Drive was basically the finale end to an AMAZING day! After that we started heading back dropping everyone off to their hotels, and our stop...back at the LAX airport. What a day! It was so much fun! I'm really glad we went on the 'bus tour'....it was so worth the money & we managed to cram in so much of LA into the one day! I recommend it if you're traveling over there & need to fill some time but want to do a lot :)
From there, I checked us in into our International Flight. We had dinner at a bar & grill in the airport, and freshened up with a change of clothes & brushed our teeth. We pottered around the airport shops, and I attempted getting wi-fi so I could send Chris one last email before we headed home!! Getting Ella to 10pm was hard. She was EXHAUSTED!! Of course, in a cruel twist of fete....she fell asleep in my arms just minutes before they called us to board our flight. And being heavily pregnant with bags, bags & a few more bags to carry....I could not carry her. So I had to wake her & lead her sleepy little body down the long halls of the plane runways. Once on board, Ella passed out again & slept for a good 10hours :) Me? I ate, watched movies, squirmed with severe un-comfortablness & attempted to sleep...with no luck.
The next day, we had a quick flight change over in New Zealand & landed home in Brisbane fairly early that morning! Seeing Chris, being back on famililar ground & being HOME again was magical. LOVE!
Even the mammoth job of unpacking had me feeling grateful & thankful and full of life!
I truly had the trip of a lifetime. I am so SO glad I took that risk....a leap of faith.....a gutsy decision & did it. Me & My Girl :) Us Chadwick girls took on the world and it was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Where to next??

Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to antimicrobial (drug) resistance on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Scientific discovery begins with basic research in the laboratory at "the bench." To improve human health, however, these discoveries must be translated into practical applications that reach the patient's "bedside." NIAID-supported research in antimicrobial (drug) resistance helps facilitate this translation of basic research discoveries from "bench to bedside."
Tests that determine exactly which microbe is making a person sick can take a long time—sometimes several days—to get results. This is because many of today's tests are based on technology that requires laboratory staff to wait for the microbe to grow over a period of time before they can identify the cause of infection. As healthcare providers often cannot wait several days for that information before treating their patients, they may reach for a broad-acting drug they hope will kill whatever is infecting a patient. Unfortunately, the practice of using broad-spectrum drugs before the specific microbe is identified can accelerate the emergence of drug-resistant strains.
Healthcare providers need faster ways to diagnose infections and evaluate whether a certain strain of microbe is susceptible to antimicrobial drugs.
To meet this need for better, faster diagnostics, NIAID supports
Along with accurate diagnosis, healthcare providers need to prescribe the proper dose of a drug—one that is effective but limits the microbe's odds of developing resistance following prolonged or excessive exposure to the drug. The appropriate dosage requires a clear understanding of how the antimicrobial is broken down in the human body (the drug's pharmacokinetics) and how the drug affects the body (the drug's pharmacodynamics). To improve dosage recommendations, NIAID is supporting research proposals that incorporate drug dynamics and kinetics into studies on preventing antimicrobial resistance.
NIAID also supports efforts to collect data on the dynamics and kinetics of older antibiotics for which the most appropriate dosage information is not available. As situations arise where commonly used antibiotics are no longer effective, healthcare providers are resorting to some of the older antibiotics, such as Colistin. Though resistance to Colistin is still low, healthcare providers stopped using the drug because it was known to be toxic.
Recently, the number of new antimicrobial drugs has not kept pace with the rise of antimicrobial-resistant microbes. NIAID has a substantial research program to spur development of new therapeutics against disease-causing viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi.
NIAID supports university-based scientists and researchers at biotechnology companies, who are exploring new ways to treat infections with substances that make it difficult for microbes to develop resistance. For example, NIAID supported key foundational and preclinical studies of a novel monoclonal antibody for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus. This therapeutic is now being tested for effectiveness in humans.
Other NIAID-supported efforts to develop new or improved drugs include
To assist the research community, the NIAID Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) has built a comprehensive set of product development services and research tools and technologies to facilitate efforts to develop the next generation of vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics. These services make needed expertise as well as standardized, high-quality research materials and state-of-the-art technologies available to eligible investigators worldwide at no charge. Information regarding these resources may be found at Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Resources.
The more an antibiotic is used, the more likely resistance to that drug becomes. In the presence of an antimicrobial, microbes are either killed or, if they carry resistance genes, survive. Through this process of selective pressure, drug-resistant survivors will replicate and their progeny will quickly become the dominant type throughout the microbial population. The selection of antimicrobial-resistant microbes can be reduced if the unnecessary use of these drugs is minimized. Well-designed clinical trials provide the data that healthcare providers need to make treatment decisions. This research will lead to better healthcare practices and more refined therapeutic approaches, such as shorter treatment duration or alternative therapies that do not require antimicrobials to minimize the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.
Examples of NIAID-supported clinical trials to examine ways to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance include
The need for new drugs would be reduced if bacterial or other infections could be prevented with vaccines. NIAID supported preclinical studies of a vaccine that is protective against both drug-resistant and susceptible S. aureus, the most common hospital-associated bacterial infection.
An NIAID-supported researcher who was testing an experimental vaccine in mice against the fungal infection caused by Candida albicans discovered that the vaccine also appeared to protect the animals against S. aureus. The discovery raises the possibility of developing a single vaccine against multiple microbes.

Marie-Antoinette (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Article abstract: Marie-Antoinette, through her exaggerated public image as a frivolous and extravagant woman, did much to undermine popular respect for the French monarchy. As queen of France, she opposed the revolutionary movement at every turn.
Early Life
Marie-Antoinette-Josèphe-Jeanne D'Autriche-Lorraine (original German name Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna von Österreich-Lothringen) was born in Vienna to Maria Theresa and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. She was the eleventh child in a family of three boys and eight girls; the last child in the family, Maximilian, would be born a year later. Her mother, the intelligent, strong-willed ruler of the widespread Habsburg possessions since 1740, combined statecraft and childbearing with great efficiency. Her father, Emperor Francis of the House of Lorraine, was a pleasant, easygoing man, successful in business ventures. He was an adored though profligate husband and a kind father to his numerous children. His imperial title conferred no power.
Like her siblings, Marie-Antoinette enjoyed a lively musical environment. She played the harp and formed small musical groups with her brothers and sisters to entertain the family. Her education, entrusted to tutors, was mediocre. She learned fluent French but, to the end of her life, spoke it with a German accent. A dainty, pretty child, with blond hair and blue eyes, she was spontaneous and charming. Her mother...

Teenage boys in fast cars -- it's a rite of passage.
Except it's a bit different for 19-year-old Daniil Kvyat -- he's about to step into the world of Formula One.
The Russian has been confirmed as Torro Rosso's new driver for the 2014 season, replacing Red Bull-bound Daniel Ricciardo.
Kvyat will partner Jean-Eric Vergne after graduating through the Red Bull Junior Driver Program.
"This is fantastic news, a dream come true and I want to thank Red Bull and Toro Rosso for giving me this priceless opportunity," Kvyat told the team's website.
"Ever since I began karting, I wanted to get to Formula One and now that wish will become reality next season.
"I had a brief taste of working with the Toro Rosso team, when I drove for them at the Silverstone test and I enjoyed the experience very much.
"The fact I am based in Italy and speak Italian will, I am sure, help me to become part of the team very quickly."
Kvyat, who is based in Rome, has been participating in GP3 and the European Formula Three championship while also testing for Toro Rosso at a young driver session at Silverstone last July.
Last year, Kvyatt won the Formula Renault 2.0 title with seven race victories. This season, he has recorded one win following six rounds of the European Formula Three Championship while amassing five poles and five podiums.
He could yet win the GP3 title with just seven points separating him from the leader.
"We are pleased to continue our policy of bringing on drivers from the Red Bull Junior Programme," said Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost.
"Daniil is a very talented driver, which can be seen from his results in all the junior categories.
"He impressed our team with a strong performance and very informative technical feedback at the young driver test in Silverstone.
"This suggests that the basic qualities from which he can progress are all in place.
"Daniil can be sure that we will use all our experience of training youngsters to give him the best possible start to his Formula One career."

Kabara and Brown Lead Valpo to Second Place Finish in Crusader Invitational
Friday, September 06, 2002 Dennis Kabara (Chuka, Kenya/Mero H.S.) and Doug Brown (Lima, Ohio/Allen East H.S.) finished third and fourth respectively to lead Valparaiso to a second place finish in the Crusader Invitational on Friday afternoon at Sunset Hills Farm.Kabara, running in his first collegiate race after red-shirting in 2001, finished with a time of 26:35 while Brown finished just five seconds later to help the Crusaders tally 42 team points and finish just behind champion Western Michigan. The Broncos claimed the title with 25 points. DePaul (70 points) was third, followed by IFPW (95) and Wisconsin-Green Bay (111). Junior Matt Blume (Logansport, Ind./Pioneer H.S.) was third to finish for the Brown and Gold with a time of 26:52, earning him sixth place overall. Jeff Kondraschow (Darien, Ill./Hinsdale South H.S.) placed 10th (27:32), while freshman David Wheeler (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles East H.S.) was 19th (27:49) to round out the Crusaders scoring. Valpo will return to racing in two weeks when the Crusaders travel to Bloomington, Ind. for the Indiana Intercollegiate Championships. |

Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Well, tonight was the last night of Technical Writing class and I have to say that my group cleaned up pretty good. There were only three work groups so the presentation went quickly and after seeing what the other two did, I really have to say that ours was the most original and the one with the most personality. Not to say that theirs wasn't useful, just dull.
The one thing that I lament and have stuck in my craw is the printing process. I give unto you, the evil empire that is KINKOS. I had no previous experience with this dominion of money grubbers and so went in uninformed. Let me tell you, I came out of that one a lot wiser. Just take a guess at what the charged me to punch a hole in the document (8pgs. laminated)? Any guess's...Bucky? Susie? Anyone? $5!!!
Here's how it went down:
Ring, Ring....oh wait, my cell doesn't ring.....vrrrrrrb! vrrrrrrb!
Me: Hello!?
EE(evil empire): HI Mr. Greenthumb! Just wanted to let you know we were finished with your print job.
Me: Okay thanks. Can you tell me what the total was?
Me: Excuse me!!! What did you say?
Me: How is that possible?
At this point she starts going down the list of itemized charges to which I'm partially agreeing with thinking it sounds reasonable, that is until she got to the last one...
EE: $5 to drill thru the left corner of the laminated copy.
Me: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
EE: no, sorry, but that's what we charge.
Me: That's rediculous, I'll be right down.
EE: Okay.
Now this is the part that really cracked me up...well, later. I walk in and tell them I'm there to pick up the Greenthumb packet. I could tell that it was the same person I spoke to on the phone.
EE: Your total is $99.58
Me: $5 dollars to put a hole in 8 cards??? You really expect me to see the legitamacy of that?
EE: Well, it's like this...It's a set up...I mean...oh that's not how I meant to say it.
Me: Your damn straight its a setup. This is crap.
EE: No, no...we have this press over there, and it's a setup fee for the press that drills thru the cards. That way they are all the same size and in the same place on each sheet.
Me: Well, that makes perfect sense, as opposed to it going towards the man power required to do the work themselves, but a machine, well here then, take my $5 and don't think another thing about it.
It's one thing to charge for high quality paper, color printing or lamination...but $5 to punch holes in 8 pieces of paper? I'm clearly not in the right business.
All that aside, the project turned out very professional looking and very sharp. I'm quite proud of the final product. Now if I can just figure out how to minimize production costs, I could turn around a sell it, it's that good, but at the current cost, I would have to charge $27.00 a copy just to make expenses. It's cool, but not that cool.

Hey Greenthumb--
did your cold start with a sore, scratchy throat and a stuffy nose? If so you've given it to me too!! Oh well--that means time off work, doesn't it--maybe this is a good thing....
Happy St. Patrick's Day--seeing as your thumb is already green, I guess you don't need any more green to keep the Leprechauns away, eh?!
Ciao! - Thu Mar 17, 09:52:00 AM PST

Oh effie...it did start that way and it got worse from there. Not only is my thumb green, but so is the mucus that I discharge each morning. (I know...not very purty)
Get some tylenol flu and cold, some robutusin, grab your favorite pillow and blanky and settle in.
hope you feel better soon. - Thu Mar 17, 09:59:00 AM PST

Hilarious. I have crapped myself many times over the Kinkos prices. When I was in junior high school I wrote a 300-some page novel and printed it out on my Comodoore Colt. I decided to make a bunch of copies of it and send it off to publishers...10 publishers to be exact.
I was really brilliant, and so was my novel. I can't believe it was never published.
I'm 26-years-old now and still making monthly payments to my parents who bailed me out of a near run-in with the Kinkos mafia when I couldn't pay my bill. - Fri Mar 18, 06:38:00 PM PST

That's great. I'd easily spend $27.50 on stuff produced at KINKOS. Where do I send the cheques?
Glad to see I'm not the only one getting ripped for a new one.
Tried to use a Quiznos sub coupon to get a free sub on their cheapest item, and was told I couldn't because...
"It's already too cheap."
So I can use a coupon to get a free sandwich for any of the expensve sandwiches, but not on the cheap one?
Quiznos, sounds like Kinkos, and they can all go blow my nose!
I'll try to keep my rants to my own blog. Sorry for hogging the comments. - Wed Mar 23, 12:10:00 PM PST
