Grandma's death by acid is a highlight of the 1997 camp classic "Dante's Peak." The disaster epic chronicles the race to save a small town from a deadly volcanic eruption.
In the movie, volcanic gases quickly turn a placid lake into an acidic death trap as a family escapes burning-hot lava by boat, aided by a volcanologist played by Pierce Brosnan. Grandma sacrifices herself and jumps into the lake to push their dissolving aluminum boat the last few feet to safety.
For a film that gets some eruption science terrifyingly right, the lake's radical transformation has always been a sticking point. Volcanic gases belching from the lake bottom can't acidify an entire lake in a matter of hours, debunkers have shown. However, extremely acidic fluids could dissolve Grandma's legs and kill her from shock, as well as eat holes in the boat.
Now, it turns out there is also some truth behind the fictional volcanic chemistry.
In 1996, volcanic blasts at Karymsky Lake in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula created a toxic chemical soup in the formerly pristine lake, according to a study published Oct. 1 in Geophysical Research Letters. The eruption decimated the lake's ecosystem, killing off thousands of fish and trees.
The Kamchatka Peninsula is home to scores of steep-sided volcanoes, which line up like sentries along its eastern coast. Karymsky Lake nestles in the long-dormant Academy Nauk caldera, a hole in the Earth left behind when a massive eruption emptied out a magma chamber. Next door, about 3 miles (5 kilometers) north, rises Karymsky volcano, the most active volcano in Kamchatka. (Images: Journey to Kamchatka's Volcanoes)
Around midnight on Jan. 2, 1996, one day after a powerful earthquake, Karymsky volcano exploded, spewing ash and lava high into the air. Later that afternoon, the lake followed, with a strong underwater eruption. Eruptive pulses from the lake ejected columns of steam and ash into the air every five or six minutes for about 18 hours. (Scientists from the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in Kamchatka watched from a safe distance, providing eyewitness accounts.)
"There was around 30 to 40 million tons of pyroclastic material and juvenile material erupted into the air, and this material was saturated with acidic fluids," said Yuri Taran, a senior researcher at the Institute of Geophysics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and lead author of the new study.
Much of the ejected material collapsed back into the lake, stewing into a fetid mix of sodium, sulfate, calcium and magnesium. When scientists reached the lake, they discovered the pH had dropped from 7.5 to 3.2, in the range of grapefruit juice and vinegar, and the water's color was yellow-brown.
"Before the eruption, the lake was absolutely clear and after it was like an acidic hot spring," Taran told LiveScience's OurAmazingPlanet.

Retired astronaut Wally Schirra dies; 84-year-old retained his passion for space
As an astronaut on all three of NASA's early space missions in the 1960s, Walter M. "Wally" Schirra Jr. orbited the Earth many times, capturing the imagination of a generation with his daring, bravery and commitment to space travel.
Even after his days of orbiting the Earth had passed, his commitment to space exploration burned on, several people who knew him said Thursday. Schirra had a zeal for teaching others about space and the importance of math and science for the future of the country.
Schirra died of heart failure early Thursday morning after a battle with cancer, a friend of the family said Thursday from the Rancho Santa Fe home where the 84-year-old Schirra lived for more than 20 years.
In 1996, he visited Poway's Valley Elementary School to talk to 8-year-old Billy Smeal's third-grade class about the wonders of space travel.
Reached by phone Thursday, Smeal, now 19, said he remembers that day.
"He talked about how he hoped we would eventually go to Mars," Smeal said. "It made me want to strive for something that was great, because if we can make it to the moon, we can make anything happen."
The former Navy fighter pilot's penchant for teaching others about space travel revealed itself during the famous moonwalk of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, Bob Yehling, author of "One Giant Leap for Mankind," said in a phone interview Thursday.
On that historic July night in 1969, Schirra served as co-anchor with Walter Cronkite, helping in TV coverage, providing a blow-by-blow explanation of the unfolding events from an astronaut's perspective. He kept his composure up until the moment the men began their walk on the surface of the moon, Yehling said.
"He was on the verge of tears," Yehling said.
In a 2004 interview with the North County Times, Schirra said he strongly believed in the importance of manned mission to Mars, adding that the biggest benefit to such a mission would be exciting a new generation about space travel.
"The Chinese space program has encourage some 600,000 kids a year to study engineering, " Schirra said. "The Apollo program was like that."
San Diego radio talk-show host Mark Larson said Thursday that he met Schirra about 20 years ago.
"He would light up a room," Larson said, adding that Schirra lived to "make young Americans feel the same passion that he felt."
Larson said that well into his 80s, Schirra continued to keep speaking engagements where he could talk endlessly without notes about space exploration.
"He could have rested on his laurels, but he kept going out there, staying interested, staying involved," Larson said.
For Vista businessman, former Navy pilot and longtime friend Roger Boennighausen, Schirra was someone who earned the utmost respect of fellow aviators.
"He was the kind of guy who lived and breathed naval aviation, the kind of guy young aviators and old aviators cherished talking with."
Schirra was the only astronaut to fly in all three of NASA's original manned spaceflight programs: Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Although he never walked on the moon, Schirra laid some of the groundwork that made the lunar landings possible and won the space race for the United States.
Schirra's Apollo mission in October 1968 restored the nation's confidence in the space program, which had been shaken a year earlier when three astronauts were killed in a fire on the launch pad.
The next year, Schirra left NASA and retired from the Navy with the rank of captain, having logged more than 295 hours in space. He became a commentator with CBS.
"Mostly it's lousy out there," Schirra said in 1981 on the occasion of the first space shuttle flight. "It's a hostile environment, and it's trying to kill you. The outside temperature goes from a minus 450 degrees to a plus 300 degrees. You sit in a flying Thermos bottle."


text: ACCESSION NUMBER:346530 FILE ID:NEA505 DATE:05/27/94 TITLE:U.S. OFFICIALS PRAISE POLISH DIPLOMAT FOR SERVICE IN BAGHDAD (05/27/94) TEXT:*94052705.PFN 05/27 texts:pelletreau/ryan/piekarski award/bg nh as kf *NEA505 05/27/94 U.S. OFFICIALS PRAISE POLISH DIPLOMAT FOR SERVICE IN BAGHDAD (Texts: Pelletreau, Ryan remarks at Piekarski ceremony) (710) Washington -- Following are the texts of remarks made by Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Robert Pelletreau and Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Mary Ryan, at the May 27 State Department ceremony honoring Ambassador Jan Piekarski, the Polish diplomat who headed the U.S. Interests Section in Baghdad following the Gulf War: (BEGIN PELLETREAU TEXT) At a time when there are so many unhappy things going on in the Middle East, it is a real pleasure to be here with some good news. We have with us today Ambassador Jan Piekarski, who has just left his posting as head of the U.S. Interests Section in Baghdad. From his first day on the job in July 1991, Ambassador Piekarski stood guard over U.S. interests in Iraq with courage and aplomb during a period marked by open hostility and confrontation in our bilateral relations. Under the best of circumstances, Ambassador Piekarski's job would not have been easy. The circumstances were far from the best, yet he consistently performed superbly whether in safeguarding Americans who found themselves in trouble or streamlining the administration of the Interests Section to make it more efficient and cost-effective. Last year, Ambassador Piekarski's name became a household word in the Department because of his handling of the case of imprisoned American Ken Beaty. Through seven difficult months, which included our strike on the Iraqi Intelligence Headquarters, Ambassador Piekarski carried on, acting as counselor to a distraught prisoner, his family and employer, and diligent reporter to the Department. During this same period, when another American got himself into a potentially very serious standoff with Iraqi authorities, Ambassador 1iekarski personally gave him shelter at his residence, and ensured that everything was resolved smoothly. Ambassador Piekarski's efforts on behalf of Mr. Beaty earned him very high praise from Senator David Boren, who travelled to Baghdad in November 1993 to obtain Mr. Beaty's release. In a letter to the President, Senator Boren said: "Mr. Piekarski is one of the most capable and dedicated diplomats that I have ever met... Poland has clearly assigned one of her best and brightest to represent our interests in Iraq." President Clinton echoed Senator Boren's praise in a letter to President Walesa: "Ambassador Piekarski's tireless efforts were invaluable in ensuring the well-being of Mr. Beaty during his imprisonment and in bringing pressure to bear to ensure his eventual release." I could go on at length about Ambassador Piekarski's accomplishments, but what I think marks his three years in Baghdad more than anything was preference for testing the limits, and his refusal to assume a passive role in the execution of his duties. He was invariably courageous and professional in his endeavors and frequently successful. The United States could not have asked for a more brilliant and effective representative of her interests in Iraq during this extremely difficult period. Ambassador Piekarski has set a high standard for his successors to follow. I now turn the podium over to Assistant Secretary Ryan who has a few remarks to make on behalf of the Bureau of Consular Affairs. (END PELLETREAU TEXT) (BEGIN RYAN TEXT) On behalf of the Bureau of Consular Affairs, I want to express my extreme gratitude for your expert handling of consular and administrative issues at the Interests Section in Baghdad. Your ability to negotiate the early release of American citizens who were taken prisoner by the Government of Iraq is commendable. In particular, your handling of the arrest case of Dr. Kenneth Beaty attests to your dedication to duty and service. Your skill in consular matters is matched only by your gifted management of the Interests Section. Specifically, your handling of Personnel and property management issues has saved the U.S. Government a considerable amount of money. Your services will be sorely missed and we wish you much success in your future assignments. It is an honor to present Ambassador Piekarski with the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award which comes with a certificate signed by Secretary Christopher and a gold medal set. (END RYAN TEXT) NNNN .

Webmaster's note: I still have not heard back from Mrs. Torma since last Wednesday (7/ 7). I'm guessing she is having a reception issue, or is just really busy. If I remember right, when I was out there 2 years ago, we did have a problem at Yellowstone and the Tetons, and our cell phones did not work in Jackson. Perhaps we will hear from them later today. I will post as soon as I hear from her. ~ Mr. C.
BREAKING NEWS (9:50 a.m.): I just heard from Mrs. Burton (Bobbie's Mom). Below is what she said:
Hi Ronnie! My daughter, Bobbie, called last night to say all was well- off of a pay phone! Anyway- she said their bus broke down on Saturday which led to a change in schedule- they didn't get to whitewater raft on Sunday but were planning to go today. So that canceled the Mount Washburn hike today. She said that besides that they were all on schedule and were still planning to get home on Thursday.
MORE NEWS (12 noon): I just received two photos (below) from Mrs. Torma, but she did not answer any of my questions, so I am guessing she did not receive my emails. I *think* the pictures are from their hike this past Friday. ~ Mr. C.
EVEN MORE NEWS (5:20 p.m.): I just received a text email from Mrs. Torma, and she sent four more pictures (below). Here is her message:
Hi Ronnie
We had bus trouble and bad reception. The bus is now fixed. We have done some overlooks in Yellowstone and doing a couple more in the Tetons before Jackson. Our raft trip is at 3:30 but I don't think they'll actually get in the water until 4 or 4:15. The boat company is Barker-Ewing. I'm taking pics at the rope which is a wave train. Should be cool!
Little buddy has been low priority due to bus trouble but we will try to get it charged. We are still on schedule for Thursday around midday. ~ Mrs. Torma

ATLANTA - An 85-year-old Atlanta woman is grateful to her teenage grandson and some total strangers for saving her life Wednesday evening.
"I'm wonderfully blessed because I'm alive and my children are alive," Dollie Waters told 11 Alive on Thursday.
A deeply religious woman, she doesn't believe it was just coincidence that she, one of her daughters and her 14-year-old grandson survived a car fire in rush hour traffic.
She'd been driving her 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria since her late husband, James, gave it to her as a birthday present 22 years ago.
Dollie said no one has been able to tell her why the car suddenly burst into flames as she was driving in the 700 block of West Peachtree Street around 5 pm Wednesday.
"They don't know and I don't know," she said.
Her grandson, 14-year-old Ural "D.J." Waters, was riding in the back seat and first noticed the flames.
He told her to stop the car and turn it off.
Then he jumped out and helped his mother, Germaine Waters, get out.
But his grandmother was trapped in the driver's seat.
"I couldn't get out because the door was locked and I had the seat belt on," Dollie Waters said.
Her grandson managed to get the door open and as he was pulling her out of the burning car several strangers helped.
Dollie still doesn't know who they were.
"I thanked them, I did say something to them, I thanked them," she said.
Waters lost her shoes and pocketbook in the fire.
She was able to salvage a smoke damaged wallet as well as some charred keys and cash.
But because her car was so old and she only had liability insurance, her policy does not cover a replacement.
When I asked her what she's going to do about getting another one she said, "I don't know; food for thought."
Dollie said she believes God will provide an answer, the same God she believes decided it wasn't time for her to go just yet.

No special treatment
Letters to the editor for Aug. 20, 2013: Politicians; Filner; Jane Fonda; Lindbergh traffic; vehicle noise; young scholars
Special treatment for Filner and politicians
How is it that Bob Filner, like other politicians, is treated so differently than those in the private sector?
As a business owner and past employee of a local company, I'm pretty sure that in any other businesses if sexual harassment, misappropriation of funds, and possible acceptance of illegal gifts are suspect, the result would be a swift firing. How is it that political figures are above such punishment?
Let's avoid the separate rules for those in charge, who were put there not for the service of themselves, but for the people.
Amber Pich
More might be going on with Filner
While I am certainly averse to sexual harassment and financial wrongdoing, there may be some underlying currents here.
First, I have a hunch that Bob Filner's accusers have good reason to do so, but these events appear to be recent, and may have been precipitated by illness, depression, personal catastrophe, or other circumstances. Although none of these conditions excuses a person, they do signify emotionally charged life events that can throw a person into chaos.
Filner is also accused of "approving or allowing unauthorized payments from the city treasury." These allegations sound pretty thin to me, and might be the proverbial "tempest in the teapot."
I suspect some hidden motivations. Filner has been in office for a long time; several have vainly tried to oust him, and this can initiate jealousy and revenge.
The mayor has done many good things for any number of citizens, and has provided second chances for many.
I urge constituents to consider his past good record, and to think of the old proverb, "There but for the Grace of God ...," and to not convict this man on the public stage until all the facts are presented.

Remembers picture of Jane Fonda in Vietnam
Last week's letter by Don Allen on Jane Fonda brought back painful memories from Vietnam. While following a trail used by the Viet Cong, I ran across a mimeographed piece of propaganda. The paper listed the names of American soldiers captured by the VC and had a picture of Hanoi Jane wearing a Soviet-era helmet and posing on an AAA battery.
Among the names of captured soldiers was that of a friend, First Sgt. Richard Williams. We went to Vietnam a few weeks apart in 1968. First Sgt. Williams was killed (died) at the hands of the VC. To this day my regret is that I didn't save that piece of paper, at the time I was so disgusted that I threw it away.
Shame on you Hanoi Jane.

Valet parking snarls traffic at Lindbergh
Having just flown into Lindbergh's newly expanded Terminal 2 Saturday night, I was interested to see that in Sunday's U-T you awarded it a "winner" in the "Winners & Losers feature.
While I agree that it is impressive, one glaring inefficiency exists: traffic control.
With multiple flights arriving around 9 p.m., traffic was a mess. And much of the problem is caused by two of the four traffic lanes being set aside for valet parking. I find it outrageous that most of the public must be inconvenienced for the benefit of a few. If there must be valet parking, another drop-off point must be established. Or do those few who use it have so much political clout that they will prevail over the interests of the general public.

Agrees vehicle noise has grown too loud
I support the letter ("Vehicle noise law needs to be enforced," Aug. 18) from Steve Johnson. Automobile noise pollution causes great stress for everyone. People who are selfish enough to deliberately add more exhaust noise to their cars, trucks and motorcycles is bad enough; what's worse is law enforcement doing nothing about the problem.

September 07, 2012Reviewer: Judy in South CarolinaI use this for breakfast with add ins for more protein and flavor. I add cottage cheese for protein and creaminess. I have to use a blender because I also use ice. Sometimes I add peanut flour or PB2 for flavor and more protein. I use cold coffee instead of water for a mocha shake.
I wish the protein powder had more of an intense chocolate taste. It isn't very sweet but I add some Splenda to help with that.
I enjoy and look forward to my shakes every morning. I use Xantham Gum to help thicken the shake. My protein shakes are like drinking real milk shakes because of the texture.
I am not into weight lifting, but I do walk 2 miles every morning. I use the protein shakes to help me stay full for longer periods of time.This review is specific to Designer Whey Protein, Double Chocolate
July 01, 2009Reviewer: A customer in New YorkDesigner Whey Natural is the only unsweetened protein powder I've found. This minimizes the consumption of artificial sweeteners abundant in most powders, and also eliminates the overwhelmingly sweet taste you get when combining sweetened powder with 50-60g dextrose. This flavor does NOT taste good on its own, but is perfect if you mix protein with dextrose.This review is specific to Designer Whey Protein, Purely Unflavored
December 13, 2007Reviewer: A customer in New YorkOnly protein I've tried, but when I mention it to people who weightlift, they say it's good. And it seems to be working.

After suffering eight years of recession, Puerto Rico is contemplating more than a hundred different proposals intended to jumpstart its sagging economy -- including legal prostitution and marijuana use.
Watch Your Weed at Denver Hotels
Careful with any leftover weed you might have after a trip to the mile-high city! One visitor left a small amount of pot and a bubbler pipe behind when he checked out of the Hyatt Place Denver/Cherry Creek, and was billed $200 by the hotel.
News of the Herb: Week 20
The American marijuana legalization movement is really screwing with politicians. Public opinion on weed used to be so cut and dry: conservatives and old people hated it, and liberals and young people loved it until they became old and conservative. Then everything change...

CentOS 5.x | SendMail
I'm cross-referencing logs with another application/server and would like to change the date format on the SendMail maillog.
Presently it's MMM DD HH:MM:SS
Is there any way to change that? Where is it defined?
You have to switch to syslog-ng to be able to change the date format in the log files. I don't think syslogd, which is the default in CentOS 5.x, allows you to change the date format.
Syslog is the one responsible for sendmail logs....thus to change the format you'd have to change the syslog program. Of course, that would change things for a number of other things doing logging.

Zimbabwe: Widow inheritance by a member of the deceased husband's family and consequences of refusal and availability of state protection

Various reports indicate that some widows in Zimbabwe experience with problems poverty, societal and familial discrimination, and customary laws, which coercively or persuasively lead them the practice of widow inheritance (One World Organization; UNESCO n.d; Human Rights Internet 1997; IPS 3 Aug. 1998).
According to UNESCO, Harare, "elderly parents often encourage AIDS widows to marry their late husband's brother, thus putting other family members at risk" (n.d.), and a 3 August 1998 IPS report states that rural communities were being encouraged to abandon the practice because AIDS (n.d.).
A report published the by women's groups in Southern Africa states that the
"Levirate," whereby a widow continues to conceive children in the name of the dead husband through the "levir," usually the brother-in-law is still the custom in some ethnic groups in rural areas. Where it does occur, the widow finds it oppressive and undesirable, especially in the context of AIDS. It is another way for the family to obtain control over the property of the deceased. Levirate is distinguishable from widow-inheritance which also occurs, as in the latter case, the widow's future children are born in the name of the new husband. It is not always clear what type of union that widow is entering into. Both are often coercive and outcomes are problematic, even life-threatening, because of the prevalence of AIDS (One World Organization n.d).
The report further that "because of extreme poverty, lack of power and protection, the Zimbabwean widow, in particular if she is old, is an easy target for individual as well as communal acts of violence" (ibid.).
Specific information on state protection available to women forced to marry the brother of their deceased husband could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate. However, allegedly in contravention of domestic and international law, in March 2000, the Zimbabwean Supreme Court reportedly reversed the gains made by women in the last 20 years when it revoked a claim made by a daughter to the estate of her dead father . The judge reportedly said that African society prescribes a lower status to women in the family and women should therefore not be considered adults (ibid.).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

On February 7, 2011 we welcomed our son, Samuel, and have been captivated by his huge brown eyes and gorgeous smile ever since. We celebrated many firsts – first successful diaper change (where we didn't end up getting sprayed), first bath, first smile, first laugh, first roll, first time eating solids, and first clap. We clap at everything – who knew that even the littlest things deserve a clap! Samuel is almost eleven months old and is pulling himself up, cruising along the furniture, and loves to get into Autumn's scrapbooking stuff. Samuel is an energetic, spunky, cute, adorable, strong, happy, funny little man – we love seeing his personality emerging. He is also very observant – studies everything with intense curiosity before taking any action. We think we may have a scientist or mathematician in the making!
We are excited for 2012! We are excited to celebrate more firsts — first steps, first birthday, first ice cream sundae at Leatherby's, first taste of whole milk — and have more family adventures.
Hello Project Life 2012. I am excited to continue documenting our daily lives and celebrate the small (normal, and mundane) moments that will be awesome to look back on years from now.
Project Life 2011 continues to be a work in progress for me — I have three volumes. Yes, that's correct. THREE We R Memory Keepers binder albums worth of photos, notes, and tidbits of our everyday lives. I have some holes to fill in but am so glad I took a year worth of photos of our little family.
Project Life has been a great place to store bits of papers that would otherwise go into a file folder and drawer.
Project Life has been a great place to store gas receipts (for the entire year — so cool to see it fluctuate over the course of the year), student artwork, and party invites.
Project Life has been a great way to document Samuel's first year of life.
I am thrilled to be doing Project Life again this year.
Hello 2012 resolutions.
I am keeping the list short this year. Sticking with five main goals.
- Simplify. Reduce the clutter. Seriously.
- Read more. (Started Hunger Games last night.)
- Move more. Eat less. (This includes signing up for Sac Fit, running a marathon and completing a triathlon).
- Learn the ins and outs of my camera. Play with light.
- Be the best mom and partner that I can be (and still do the things I love).

Arms and the Women (1999)
by Reginald Hill
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Hill for me really goes over the edge in this one. He indulges a high-faulting literary yearning, I'm afraid, that unfortunately is too much for me. Too much showing off classical knowledge and not enough of the mystery/thriller for me. Add a bit of Irish plot and a pinch of a South American plot, and it's kind of a mess. Oh, and the main character is Ellie Pascoe, who is neither sympathetic nor all that interesting.
Probably my least favorite Dalziel and Pascoe. Large sections of the book are the text of a novel being written by Ellie Pascoe, which I found annoying. When a kidnapping attempt is made on Peter Pascoe's wife, investigations into Pascoe's enemies turn up nothing; the key to the mystery is in Ellie's political involvements. The finale is over-the-top.
I found this one hard to get into interesting as it was with the story in the story.
I do like how Hill plays around with words and different forms in his novels but this one was I found a bit of a struggle. Took me far longer to read then most.
One of the great joys of the Dalziel and Pascoe stories, especially the later ones, is that you never know what you are going to get. Hill jumps about - apparently at random - between serious crime stories and genre-bending pastiche, all of them a delight to the reader.
Having lulled us into a false sense of security with this book's immediate predecessor On Beulah Height, a straight and rather harrowing crime story about the disappearance of a number of young girls, Hill now leaps out from behind a tree with this high-camp pastiche of a gun-running story, featuring old-school-tie spies and Colombian and Irish terrorists who would make John Le Carré blush, and building up to a splendid grand guignol finale (in a storm on a cliff-top, no less). If Ronald Firbank had ever written a thriller, it would be like this.
For a change, Ellie Pascoe becomes the main viewpoint character, and there is an extended, and very entertaining, book-within-a-book device involving a pastiche historical novel she is writing for her own amusement. It would spoil the fun to explain what it's about, but suffice it to say that it is the story she started at the end of On Beulah Height, with the wonderful opening line "It was a dark and stormy night." Excellent fun, all round.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440225949, Mass Market Paperback)Although Yorkshire's Superintendent Andy Dalziel and Inspector Peter Pascoe are strong supporting characters in Hill's 18th entry in this enduring series, the real stars are an evocative array of women.
Deeply shaken by her 9-year-old daughter's close encounter with death in On Beulah Height, Peter's wife Ellie has taken to writing a novel for comfort. It's about the Greeks and the Trojans, but the odd thing is that her Odysseus looks and sounds a lot like Andy Dalziel. (After Aenas accuses him of being one of his sworn enemies, Odysseus replies, "Nay, lord ... I've sworn to nowt about you lot. I've never heard owt about you but good, nor do I wish you any harm, and I'll swear to that here and now, if you like."). Still, her happy days spent writing are soon cut short when she narrowly avoids being kidnapped by a slick couple who show up in a white Mercedes. Then her neighbor, Daphne Aldermann, has her stiff upper lip split when she goes after an intruder outside the Pascoe house and is badly beaten. Other compelling female characters include the tough and glamorous Constable Shirley Novello (who volunteers to guard Ellie despite an instinctive dislike between them), an elderly activist called Feenie Macallum, and a con woman, Kelly Cornelius (who is linked to some IRA gun runners and Colombian drug dealers). Between them, these women work out a beautiful, dangerous revenge on the villains who threaten them.
Once again, Reginald Hill has found a new way to get our attention and prove that--for him--the restraints of the mystery are nonexistent. --Dick Adler

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Museums and aquariums in Illinois will have to continue offering free admission 52 days a year.
The Illinois House failed Tuesday to override Gov. Pat Quinn's veto of a bill that would have cut that number in half.
The vote was 49-67, far short of the 71 "yes" votes needed.
The Democratic governor praised the vote. He says it's important for those of modest means to have access to the state's "world-class museums." Lawmakers agreed children get more from exhibits than books.
Republican Rep. Joe Sosnowski f Rockford says cutting mandatory free days to 26 a year would free up money for museums to do more programs and reach children through schools. School groups would still be able to attend for free.
The bill is HB1200.

Today- slept in. Planned on waking up at six this AM and catching a 7:30 group ride, but used forgetting where I put my bike shoes as an excuse to go back to sleep. Heading out for a leisurely hot mid morning ride, then 4th celebration at my daughter's, then early to bed so I can wake up early and go to work tomorrow.

The Mysterious Wu Fang eBook
#4 December 1935
Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
Wu Fang is a Chinese criminal mastermind and scientific genius. With his hybrid monkey-men, he plans to conquer America. He is member of various secret societies and has spies everywhere. Opposing him is Val Kildare of the F.B.I. His aides, reporter Jerry Hazard, archaeologist Rod Carson and newsboy Cappy, help him in his battles against the sinister man of evil known as Wu Fang
Inspired by the Asian menace of Fu Manchu, Harry Steeger, publisher of Popular Publications, decided to publish a villain-centered pulp magazine series. And so, The Mysterious Wu Fang was born. The series was written by Robert J. Hogan, who also wrote for G-8 and his Battle Aces and The Secret Six. But after seven stories, the series was ended. An eighth story "The Case of the Living Poison" was planned, but never was printed.

Mysterious Wu Fang 4 - The Case of the Suicide Tom
March 31, 2014
Reviewer: Trash Menace from Parts Unknown
Wu Fang is a Fu Manchu clone, down to the moustache. He has an army of seductive femme fatales, mindless henchmen, and maybe a gorilla. He's bred rat lizard creatures that eat out his victim's stomachs, and he's in Arizona to seek out a white bat that spreads a plague that turns its victims bones purple and cause them to bash their heads into the nearest wall.
It plays out like a Republic serial, down to the clifhanger between chapters. Hogan reuses way too many plot elements. Everybody is saved by having another character walk in at just the right moment, and three of Fang's fatales pretend to ask for help escaping his clutches.
The racism isn't as bad as it could have been, with only a Chinese cook talking all thankee vely solly. For some reason all the Mexican characters exclaim in French.

Perhaps the first thing you'll notice when you crack open the Fatal1ty's AA8XE box is the dried blood red of the PCB, complimented by the fresh-blood red of the DIMM sockets and the PCI slots. Aside from the bloody red, most of this board's connectors follow the dark and violent theme, with being trimmed in black and all. Perhaps the only thing missing - the one thing disturbing this theme are the azure anodized heatsinks this motherboard sports - the same ones featured on the regular AA8XE. Considering the theme of this board, and the premium price it fetches, Abit could have at least spurned for some black anodized sinks with clear red fans - granted, this is far from a deal breaker - much more of a gripe than anything else.
Moving from petty aesthetic flaws, we can begin to examine what this motherboard has to offer us in the form of inputs, connectors and sockets. Our tour will start in the upper right corner of the motherboard, which is dominated by Abit's OTES fan system. First introduced with motherboards on the IC7-Max 3, this feature sucks the hot air from the processor's heatsink up, drawing it over the scathing mofsets to cool them off before expelling it from the back of a case via two 40mm fans.
As we look just below the OTES shroud, we can see the LGA socket, sporting an array of delicate pins - as some of our users (or testers) may know, these pins are incredibly fragile - even more so than those on the processors had been. If one becomes bent, you're definitely in hot water. To the right of the CPU socket we find the DIMM banks, each with the capability of sporting a 2GB module of DDR2 (when or where these modules will surface is still largely a mystery). As previously mentioned, the slots are coloured charcoal black and bright blood red, each colour denotating a differing channel. A quick glance just above the memory modules reveals the 4 pin power socket, and a newer 4 pin CPU fan header, the fourth pin of which allowing for fan control via PWM (pulses of the intended voltage to slow the fan down). While the placement of this power header makes some sense (allowing it to directly feed the well cooled mofsets), the fact that these two connectors are so tightly packed together in a remote corner of the board will cause some frustration at the very least. Along the side of these DIMM slots comes the 24 Pin ATX connector, located well out of the way.
As we move our gaze down the board, we come to the storage aspect of the motherboard as well as its front panel headers. On the storage front, this motherboard is relatively lacking, featuring just four dried blood SATA headers and one IDE port. While we know one of the maxims of the Fatal1ty series is to reduce features gamers don't need, we're fairly sure storage isn't one of them. The lack of IDE ports (granted, which is common to many Alderwood motherboards) would severely limit my potential - having an IDE DVD Burner as well as a pair of similar hard drives.
While the argument can be made that adaptors can just be used, we feel that it's shameful to be cutting consumers short of options for storage, especially on a premium product. As to users who still have the archaic floppy disk drives - the header for this is inopportunely located at the very bottom of the motherboard, dead out of reach in the case that there are any PCI cards installed. Three other things worthy of mention in this area are Abit's proprietary uGuru chip, which facilitates a whole host of overclocking and monitoring utilities, a port 80 readout block (which will come to incredible use when testing for issues, telling you the exact problem, saving oodles of troubleshooting time), as well as hard wired power and reset buttons, saving you from having to poke at headers with a screwdriver in a blind attempt to start the board when it's outside of a case.
Moving a little to our left, we come across perhaps the busiest area of the motherboard. Within this are contained the motherboard's single 16x and dual 1x PCI-Express slots in a charcoal trim, two PCI slots in fresh blood red, and what looks to be a 1x PCI slot, but is not at the very bottom of the board, but rather the header for the bundled mini-soundcard - essentially onboard sound taken away from the electrical noise of the motherboard. While my undiscerning ears couldn't hear a difference between this and traditional onboard sound, it will more than likely have an effect on the quality, noticeable to those who can truly hear a difference. Also found within this area a pair of both USB and Firewire headers, allowing for four and two ports respectively, along with a header for front panel audio. Finishing up this tour, we come across the motherboard to the I/O area, which sports the dual 40MM fans as previously mentioned, as well as a single Firewire port, the requisite PS/2 Ports, quad USB ports and dual Gigabit LAN ports, fed by a pair of localized Intel chips.

So, thesinfulcyclist.com is the new project I've been working on. Basically, it takes major cities in the Pacific Northwest (so far with one exception just Seattle) and outlines turn-by-turn cycling routes for them which guide the rider from the center of the city through a tour of that city's "naughty" areas, artistic highlights, or other hedonist hangouts: everything from strip clubs, to sex clubs, to art galleries, to high-end restaurants, to casinos, and everything inbetween. Descriptions, background, and tips are provided as needed so that the cyclist can understand what he or she is passing by on the route.
Personally, I'm hoping that by this example other folks will be inspired to do something similar in their cities: I can see it being a lot of fun, whenever I have a spare day in a new city, to rent a bicycle and follow a route at my own pace that lets me get a sense of the city's artistic highlights, and well as its underground.
The way I see it, the nature of urban cycling is urban, and cycling is the best way to appreciate the urban environment: we might as well revel in what's there

"Fifty Shades" Movie Casts Charlie Hunnam, Dakota Johnson
(LOS ANGELES) -- The movie adaptation of the best-selling erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey has cast the role of Christian Grey and his leading lady Anastasia.
Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam has been cast as the young businessman Grey, known for his bondage sexual practices, according to the book's author E.L. James, who broke the news on Twitter.
"The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey," she posted Monday.
"I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey," she wrote.
Johnson is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She is best know for her work on Ben & Kate and The Social Network as a love interest of Sean Parker's.
The film, which will focus on Anastasia, a college student who has a sexual awakening at the hands of Grey, will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and released next August.

I'm fine with Oracle, but…
This post start with the latest vulnerability CVE-2012-1675 about Oracle TNSListner.
A Man in the Middle attack is possible against the Oracle TNSListner to hijack regular users connections. The advisory says also that it is possible to make denial of services and full compromise the remote database integrity.
The attacker does not need a pair of valid credentials, it has just to reach the listener via network.
A funny way to start the week.
It all started 4 years ago
Koret, the security researcher that posted on full disclosure, first reported the issue to Oracle 4 years ago. It thought the vuln was fixed so long ago, but it doesn't.
Oracle admitted that it was not able to provide a patch since those will ruin all regression tests for older DBMS versions that are suffering for the listener poisoning attack.
4 years ago my son yet didn't exists, nor I was married and I was wearing Taekwondo ITF green belt.
Since 4 years your TNS Listener are exposed to a remote and critical vulnerability, that can't be fixed in a while and the vendor was aware of it.
4 Years in the IT world is like a decade, but in the Information Security 4 years last like a century. Hopefully no TNSListners are exposed to the Internet, however consider how much database lays unprotected in flat corporate networks.
Since 4 years your TNS Listener are exposed to a remote and critical
vulnerability, that can't be fixed in a while and the vendor was aware of it.
The quest for being certificate
You have also to consider that a lot of third-party software were build in the meantime over such vulnerable versions and were certifified to run only on certain Oracle versions.
All of those are exposed to same vulnerability and it's not sure will certify against the new Oracle Critical Patch that will be released to fix (we all hope this time for real) the vulnerability).
A lot of third-party software were build in the meantime over such vulnerable
versions and were certifified to run only on certain Oracle versions. All of
those are exposed to same vulnerability and it's **not sure** will certify
against the new Oracle Critical Patch that will be released to fix (we all hope
this time for real) the vulnerability).
It happens all day, some Oracle Critical patches can't be applied because the third party vendor doesn't certify its product to be compliant with that one.
Big vendors are just lazy and they certify compliancy with a patch usually with some months delay. But what about mid-size companies or even custom made products?
Certifications make stakeholders so comfortable about nothing bad will happen to their company.
After all, the software they paid for is certified doesn't it?
Closed versus Open. Being certificate or just being smart?
This is not a rant about closedsource versus opensource. None in between of them carries a silver bullet for vulnerabilities or software errors.
Of course, opensource software can be theorically reviewed by a lot of smart people… but this doesn't happen in the real world. People, even in the opensource world needs to deliver faster and smart solutions. The time to investigate a software for security issues is lacking and more important… resources lack even more.
A true fact is that when a security issue is reported in mainstream opensource project, the reaction time is misurable in days (remember: 4 years) and all is exposed and disclosed.
More important is that when a framework or a technology is released, it's not certified to run on certain operating system version, or only if the DBMS has not installed a patch, or with certain versions of java.
A true fact is that when a security issue is reported in mainstream
_opensource_ project, the reaction time is misurable in **days** _(remember: 4
years)_ and all is exposed and disclosed.
Certifications are the most hilarious bit of all the story.
You tie your product to another product version make it immutable to changes in time. No one will ever upgrade operating system or other daemons because this would be break the certification. After each vulnerability assessment or after each new critical patch the vendor will publish, no one can upgrade because this will break the certification.
This is ridiculous. It's like building the new facebook saying that it will run fine but you don't have to use acer (put here the hardware manufacturer you like most) and you don't have to access the application on Mondays.
Some rules software developers must learn from this story
- You write software on top on basic layers such as an operating system, a dbms or an application manager. You must people leave freedom of choice. Don't tie your code on version x.y.z. It's a risky behaviour and it tells the world your code is not rock solid but it inherits stability from the underlaying layers.
- If you really need to lock your application to a certain vendor release, please follow the vendor security patches and upgrade your certification agreement as soon as the vendor released the patch. It's important for security teams to tell people to apply patches to mitigate a breakin exposure.
- Thinks in term of layers when you write your code. Most of the code can be dbms or operating system agnostic, the code it can't be like that make it sure it will be as far as standard as possible so to be easly ported in different dbms-es or application servers or operating systems.
- Security is critical, for your customers and for your stakeholders. Vulnerabilities are discovered every day and software must be kept up to date to avoid security incidents. You are part of a security process, you really don't want to stop.
An important rule for big software vendors
Independent researchers make a great work to you in sending advisories, or in finding vulnerabilities. May be they are smarter than your security team. Please read their work and close the breaches as soon as possible.
4 years is not an acceptable timeframe, moreover if the reason is that some regression test would fail.
On the other side.

Facebook expanding Like button feature with 'Reactions'
Facebook has rolled out its new feature "Reactions" today (pictured below) in Ireland and Spain. The idea behind is it to make Likes more expressive, offering what are essentially emoticons beside the tried and true Like button.
The company makes it clear they are testing Reactions in select regions for a reason: they want to take the feedback gained from this to iterate and improve on what they have.

Facebook announces 360-degree videos will be hitting your News Feed
Facebook is finally moving into the world of immersive video content, announcing that 360-degree videos will begin rolling out to your News Feed in the very near future.
Speed across the Jakku desert from Star Wars: The Force Awakens with this immersive 360 experience created exclusively for Facebook.Posted by Star Wars on Wednesday, September 23, 2015
The social network announced that the Facebook website is the only place they'll appear for now, with the Android and iOS versions of the Facebook app to support 360-degree video "in the coming months". When you're on the web and on your News Feed with a 360-degree video, you can click your mouse on the video and move around the video, all from your desktop.
But what about content? This is next to useless without some good content, right? Well, various companies are already diving on the 360-degree content bandwagon, with Star Wars, Discovery, VICE, GoPro, Saturday Night Live and LeBron James & Interrupted. The Disney side of things has a 360-degree promotional video for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is super-awesome.

Mark Zuckerberg confirms 'dislike' button is coming to Facebook
With numerous fan pages and change.org petitions launched over the years in order to bring a 'dislike' button to Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has finally confirmed that one is on the way. Reportedly in development for quite some time, a Q&A session saw Zuckerberg state that the delay in implementing this feature was based around concerns of like and dislike wars between members.
However, what happens if your friend posts a status confirming that a loved one has passed away, or that their car has been stolen? When 'likes' are no longer appropriate, Zuckerberg says that the dislike button shall be there in order to show empathy.
Set to launch 'in the near future', some people have concerns that this new roll out will allow further cyber bullying of at-risk individuals.
UK debuts its 'UK Against ISIL' social media account
The UK government wants to be a bit more proactive in discussing its strategy to counter the spread of the Islamic State, and is using the @UKAgainstISIL Twitter account to help share that message.
The Foreign Office officially launched the account last Thursday, and will share "updates on the UK government's ongoing work to defeat Isil." The group is sharing updates regarding airstrikes, condemn the Islamic State's activities, and share information on how to defend against the group.
"The government is very well aware of the fact that it doesn't have the ability to say things that will resonate with extremist Islamists," said Charlie Winter, senior researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, in a statement published by The Guardian.

Impressive! 1 billion people used Facebook in just one day
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and company have one more reason to be happy: 1 billion users logged into Facebook or sent a message using Messenger in a single day.
To think that 1 in 7 people on the planet used Facebook to share status updates, news stories, and messages in one day is an impressive metric. The No. 1 social media website has around 1.49 billion monthly active users, and a growing number of mobile users - an important market segment for Facebook, which attracts 76 percent of advertising revenue from mobile advertising.
"This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world," Zuckerberg said in a blog post. "Our community stands for giving every person a voice, for promoting understanding and for including everyone in the opportunities of our modern world."

Autoplay videos on social media blamed for shooting spree viewership
After the tragic shooting of Alison Parker and her WDBJ camera operator Adam Ward in Moneta, Virginia, many users took to social media in order to project their concerns, condolences and spread information about the news at hand.
The shooter, Vester Lee Flanagan II, an ex-employee of WDBJ did something most haven't seen before - uploading GoPro videos of the shooting to social media websites and feeds to thousands of viewers and followers, something he was able to do through gaining a following whilst working at WDBJ, as reported by Geek Inspector.
If this wasn't bad enough already, many social media platforms now play videos in your feed automatically, meaning that if you wanted to see this disturbing footage or not, many users running stock settings on their Facebook and Twitter mobile application or desktop browsers were subject to the shooting videos automatically.

Twitter removes 140-character limit on direct messages, finally
Social networking service Twitter has finally removed the 140-character limit in direct messages, so users have the ability to share longer private messages. Direct messages now have a 10,000-character limit per message.
"It's the No. 1 request we get from folks," said Sachin Agarwal, DMs product manager at Twitter, in a statement to The Verge. "They want to be able to say what's on their mind and me themselves."
Twitter hopes the DM change will help the social networking site reach a broader audience, as the company tries to add to its 316 million active monthly users.

Hillary Clinton would like the Islamic State bounced off social media
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently spoke out regarding the Islamic State and other criminal groups using social media.
Speaking directly about the Islamic State, she had this to say: "We have got to shut down their Internet presence, which is posing the principal threat to us," when asked during a stop on her campaign to become president.
"You've got to look carefully at terrorist groups and criminal cartels and other illegal actors to figure out whether they can use the Internet to cause crimes, to cause harm, to wage terrorist attacks and we can't just let that go on unabated," Clinton said.

Your Facebook friends list could determine your loan approval success
This Tuesday, Facebook's latest patent was approved, giving this internet giant the ability to judge your friends list through a financial eye. This new ability means that a lender can examine the credit ratings of your Facebook friends in order to judge if you're suitable for a loan or not.
The full text reads: "When an individual applies for a loan, the lender examines the credit ratings of members of the individual's social network who are connected to the individual through authorized nodes. If the average credit rating of these members is at least a minimum credit score, the lender continues to process the loan application. Otherwise, the loan application is rejected."
The approved patent included some other applications as Fortune explains as "filtering out SPAM and helping with search queries," but these are mostly a detraction from the main point.
No one is exactly sure when Facebook will implement this, or even why. But this may make some users re-think the online company in which they keep. There would be nothing worse than being denied for a loan based on your friends poor choices.

Shark Tank (ABC) - America's #1 Show on TV on Friday Nights
Shark Tank (ABC) - America's #1 Show on TV on Friday Nights
Mark Burnett, producer of last month's ratings blockbuster "The Bible" series on The History Channel adds to his list of #1 hit shows with "Shark Tank". "Shark Tank" has is the #1 show on Friday nights for beating out NBC and CBS.
Burnett based "Shark Tank" on the British TV show called "Dragons' Den". The series features a panel of "potential investors", called "sharks", who consider offers from "aspiring entrepreneurs" seeking investments for their business or product.
The "sharks" on all 26 episodes this season are Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec. Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran rotate the female shark spot for the season. All of the "sharks" have their strengths but most of the entrepreneurs seem to lean towards wanting to make a deal with Mark Cuban, maybe because he is the most well known in pop culture. O'Leary is typically the harshest of the "sharks" not going for much of the fairy tale story but giving them the harsh reality of their company or fiances. He makes good points sometimes but also seems to dig into contestants overboard at points.
The entrepreneur comes into the "shark tank" to pitch their idea or company in hopes one of the "sharks" (investors) is interested and will want to partner with them in their company. If all of the "sharks" say they are out, the contestant leaves empty handed. The show is reportedly about "the drama of pitch meetings and the interaction between the entrepreneurs and tycoons". The show is said to personalize "the desperation and pain experienced by victims of a broken-down economy".
36,076 people applied to become contestants on the show in 2012. Every episode they flash back to contestants who have been on the show in the past to see how their companies are doing since being in the "shark tank".
