Celebrities With Bad Teeth
Tom Cruise has bad teeth. His smile is all gummy, his gums are all red and irritated, his two front teeth are like Chiclets, and they are off center.
Steve Buscemi has bad teeth, but he is a great actor. He has that one awful snaggle tooth. It's like that one tooth is British. The rest of his mouth isn't pretty, but that one makes me nauseous.
Mike Tyson has bad teeth. If you ever run into him, I hope you have had your tetanus shot.
Madonna has bad teeth. Madonna, it isn't cute, that gap is gross and unsettling. Grab some spackle and a trowel, and fill that sucker in.
John Heder has bad teeth. In Napoleon Dynamite the teeth fit the role perfectly, since then it is just distracting. Though perhaps it will distract people from how bad he is in every movie not called Napoleon Dynamite.
Hillary Duff has bad teeth. The worst part? These horse teeth are self inflicted. Duff used to have a nice, normal smile, until she capped them all.
Elliott Yamin from American Idol has bad teeth. Poor spacing, over sized, yellow, what isn't going wrong here?
Amy Winehouse has bad teeth. Yikes. She looks like a crazy person. Oh wait, she is.
Avril Lavigne has bad teeth. They would almost be nice, if she didn't have that one vampire fang.
Ricky Gervais has bad teeth. He is funny as hell, but his teeth aint helping him. Being British is no excuse, you still have to floss.
Morgan Freeman has bad teeth. It's like he has to inverse snaggle teeth. Instead of being big and sticking out, his incisors are tiny, and hidden. The orange hue isn't doing him any favors either.
Jewel has bad teeth. Is she super hot? Yes. But she looks better with her mouth closed.
Hillary has bad teeth. No explanation needed.

And your biggest flaw is your personality.ReplyDelete
I think you are an absolutely awful person for criticizing anyone's teeth.
Who are you to judge them? They will be a million times for successful than you shall ever be, with or with out "perfect teeth".
I mean for goodness sake.. none of us are perfect. I'm sure you have your flaws.. and your biggest one is your personality from what i can tell.
Stick to judging yourself and leave these people alone. After all they are only human.. as are we all.

You know its really time to grow up. Everybody has flaws and I would love to see a picture of you sometime and pick fun at your teeth.I think your biggest flaw is your discusting personality. So like I said grow up.ReplyDelete

Wow your taste is awful. Not everyone here has bad teeth. Avril Lavigne's teeth are very sexy, for example.ReplyDelete

People should comment on the author's work, you can't tell what an author thinks by what they write. Anyone can write any awful thing that runs through their mind and as far as you know the author is just being creative. Something like this has the potential to be on an E! special (not saying much for the programming of E!.) Anyway being a hateful troll is far worse than writing about celebrities' bad teeth.ReplyDelete

Yall are the most evil people in the world. I would love to see who wrote this, and I would like a shot of them.ReplyDelete
I want to pick apart everything that's wrong with you because something is.
Either you're jealous of how famous/beautiful they are, or you're looking for attention, but most likely both.
You're a crude, evil person for writing this.
Avril Lavigne is one of the most stunning people on this planet, and you are definitely NOT.
I'd like to your inverse snaggle tooth, vampire fang, gaps, and how yellow you're teeth are, you hyprocritical, bored pig.
- Phil From GeorgiaJuly 2, 2010 at 7:34 AM
HAHAHA! This is funny, and I'm sure was meant to be. Much of comedy is at the expense of someone - and like the other poster said, this is the kind of programming many pop-"news" type shows present~ReplyDelete
For the ones defending random celebrities who will never read this and won't even care (most likely) if they did - grow up. Yeah, we all have flaws. But no one gives a crap that I have a low hairline and have actively keep my eyebrows from growing into eyebrow.
However, it is entertaining to pick out the flaws when the person is notable, and frequently seen at a near "idol" status - Sorry Elliot, not picking you out here.

though it is kinda rude to poke fun.
Some of these actors really have great teeth! Whats wrong with Kirsten's teeth? There cute & normal. Avril's? That vampire tooth is cute! Hilary's? Hilary Duff's teeth are BEAUTIFUL and if I had her money I would cap all my teeth too! John Heder's? What's wrong with his teeth? Madonna and Jewel & Steve? Their teeth are like their trademark. They are cute & quirky! I mean, Madonna without her gap? It wouldn't be Madonna! There is NOTHING wrong with these ladies & gent's teeth! Now, as for all the others - yeah, I can see your point. When people like Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman (you can't really blame him, he's an older gentleman & teeth get old with age) and Hillary Clinton have the money they have - they really SHOULD get their teeth fixed (especially Tom!) but even so - they really aren't all that bad. Now Amy - yeah, that girl needs a dentist!ReplyDelete

I like the gap between two front teeth honestly, it doesnt mean bad teeth, they're healthy, there's nothing wrong with it. it just doesnt seem to satisfy YOUR needs on an esthetic level. this says more about your superficial personality than these celebrities, whom we should admire for trying to keep natural.ReplyDelete
What's wrong with always wanting to "fix" something thats not considered normal? if it does no damage to the people there's no problem with it. People like YOU are horrible for our society of insecure girls (Im one of them) trying to get thinner, more perfect, and basically destroy not only their natural beauty but also their pure personality.
And people wonder why people get plastic surgery or botox all the time..

Unless their teeth are filled with cavities or unless they have gum problems, there is no problem. In fact some of the celebrities here with "bad" teeth, in fact have and keep them them as a signature.ReplyDelete
Guys, I think you should cut the blog owner some slack because this article (and the commentary) is just from an e-mail that's being passed around the Web. It's just a repost! Though it's true that some of the celebrities mentioned in the article don't really have issues regarding their dental health, the important thing is that as long as your personality is good, it doesn't matter if you have bad or good teeth.ReplyDelete

They can deal with the criticism, so you can too!
- tarasaurusApril 22, 2011 at 6:27 PM
Yeah, this isn't that offensive. These folks don't fit the perfect teeth mold. It's a fact. The great thing is that they have the means to fix them (dental care ain't cheap), but choose not to, hence showcasing their confidence and 'devil may care' attitude. It's part of their charm (though I gotta draw the line at Steve Buscemi's... doesn't look healthy).ReplyDelete

No one has perfect teeth because no one is perfect, retard =PReplyDelete
(Also I don't know why anyone would give a sh it about a celebs teeth...just kinda creepy. (: )
The results are in. At least 25 of the 30 comments so far have been made by people who are too fucking stupid to realize that this was not written by the author of the site. I must need to spell it out for all of you. YOU ARE ON A WEBPAGE TITLED "Funny & Interesting Email Forwards". Hmmm... that would imply that the comments WERE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE ELSE (A FORWARDED EMAIL AS THE NAME OF THE WEBPAGE WOULD INDICATE). Just because you happen to get here from google or whatever, does not discount that you are retarded for criticizing the poster for something he/she did not create. You fucking retards need to do the world a favor and kill yourself, because if you idiots manage to have offspring reproduced, our world is doomed. Your gene pool needs some bleach you downies.ReplyDelete
- Laura LongleyJuly 7, 2011 at 5:01 PM
I think that this is hilarious, as it was intended to be. To those that state that the author is making fun of imperfect teeth they should take another look at Hillary Duff's mouth. Those teeth are "perfect" according to Hollywood and they look terrifying as hell. It isn't about them having imperfect teeth- it's about them choosing to have their careers in 3 different industries (movies, music, politics) that all value esthetics as they should because people look to them as examples. For many of them, it is a positive example that they have left their teeth as they are- such as Jewel, or Madonna, whose teeth appear to be otherwise healthy- but really Hillary Clinton, or Morgan Freeman, or Steve Buschemi? They have rot mouth and more money than they obviously know what to do with- they should probably take better care of themselves. As for back to Hillary Duff, she had too much money, and clearly not enough brain power so she had her nice teeth filed down into pointy little spikes and capped so that they look awful.ReplyDelete
For those of you that claim you want to see someone comment that has perfect teeth- well according to the dentist- I do. I just don't know how to put a picture up. Nor do I feel the need. My main reason for writing in is to say that I thought this commentary was funny. I am a good person. And I still thought it was funny. Imagine that.

You come on the net bashing the author but then feel the need to plug your so called career, you are the pathetic one in that equation my dear!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 9, 2011 at 3:18 PM
I found the text accompanying the pics only mildly amusing, but I loved the article overall. My teeth look remarkably like Hilary Clinton's...and although I'm very self-conscious about my teeth, *I've never noticed hers.* Maybe I'm a bit more obsessed with how imperfect my teeth are than I should be...?ReplyDelete
I agree with the poster that observed these celebs could easily pay to correct their dental issues, but choose to maintain a certain element of imperfection. Maybe those who are all enraged by this post should consider that these celebs seem okay with their teeth; there's no such thing as bad publicity; and life's kind of short to work yourself up into such a frenzy over people you don't even know.

I think imperfections make people who they are. And some of those celebs are gorgeous without the "perfect" teeth. Madonna is a beautiful woman, so is jewel, Hillary and kirsten Dunst. Tom Cruise is hot too. Some of you who posted about this sound extremely superficial and shallow. And im guessing even if you do have braces enhanced teeth, your face is probably so ugly it doesn't really make a difference.ReplyDelete
These celebrities have nice smiles, but their teeth may need more work. Hillary Duff's teeth particularly caught my interest - they're all aligned and white as a pearl, but she didn't have to cap them all. She had a wonderful set of teeth when she was younger. I really admired her for that!ReplyDelete

If it wasn't for the really stupid generalisation of British people for a joke, I would actually find it some what funny in an unconventional sense. But you really had to sink to British jokes? We don't all have bad teeth just like I'm sure you don't have some stupid stereotypical feature or habit. And as a writer or a person who should pride themselves on their work, you had to pick apart other people's physical attributes just to get some material? Dude, self expression is cool, but being so critical of others just to get you some hits is pretty stupid and requires a lack of imagination if anything.ReplyDelete

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Ruger Club' started by Quigley, May 15, 2012.
I'll start
Ruger Gp100 with Hogue hardwood grips
SP101 in .357
Ruger GP100 in .357
LCR in .38+P
Mark III .22 LR
Speed six in .357. This was my gun before I even met my wife. Now it is my wife's favorite shooter and the one that she keeps on hand for home defense.
Mark II .22
Mine are in my Avatar.
I love that Blackhawk. I've been wanting one for some time now. Although, the GP100 fits the bill nicely
Outdoor Hub mobile, the outdoor information engine
3" sp101 and Gp100
Bisley Flattop .44sp
SBH .44mag
Single Six .22mag
I've got a GP as well, but the Blackhawk is my favorite Ruger revolver by far.
Its actually my favorite Ruger period.
By cvscout at 2012-05-16
By cvscout at 2012-05-16
I have a 3" barrelled SP101 that never leaves my side. It puts meat on the table too! I might be pondering swaping it for a G29 in the future though. I also have a Flat Top 44 Special with walnut grips...:thumbup:
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
The Ruger Duo-
Bac I love that sr1911
Well, the old .45 Colt Blackhawk I had just wasn't... ummm, super enough, so I picked this one up today.
Nice SBH, Steve
Shot it side by side with my 629 over the weekend. I just love the way the Blackhawks roll in the hand instead of sending the impulse straight back.
I'm not getting rid of the .45 Colt or the 629, but they might not get as much field time.

Chess teaches strategy, patience
FARMINGTON — Heads were bowed in concentration at Farmington Junior High on Monday afternoon, as each student considered whether to move his pawn or bishop, his rook or queen.
In just a few minutes, "checkmate," could be heard, the first of many such declarations announcing the end of a game.
There are many reasons why chess is a great after-school activity, said Kenneth Bennion, a student teacher in math and science who organized the tournament that was dubbed "Battle of the Brains."
"It's a strategy game, it helps build logic, it encourages patience and thoughtfulness," he said. "It's a creative game and it doesn't matter how old you are … or your body size. Many people all over the world play it."
Caleb Tinsley likes chess because there is "no luck, only brains," he said.
Seventh-grade science teacher Cynthia Purdy likes it because it's both mathematical and social.
"It's pure thinking and brains and strategy," she said. "You've got to be thinking five or six moves down the road Р a lot like life."
Overall scores go up in schools that have chess programs, she said.
Farmington students get together on their own to play before school and at lunch, said Bennion. This week's event was an effort to give students a more formal tournament experience.

First and foremost, thank you. Your prayers, support and encouragement remind me just how much I love our community.
While I am thankful, I am still remorseful. I let you down. For that, I am profoundly sorry.
My recovery is underway and ongoing. I have and will continue to build a support system to rely on for the rest of my life.
While in a voluntary rehabilitation program, I began a step-by-step process that will aid me in recovery one day at a time. This includes lifestyle changes, from daily meetings to reconnecting with my spiritual side.
To be clear, alcohol is the problem for me. It was selfishly fun but became an issue when it led to poor choices and missed opportunities. It never interfered with my congressional obligations. However, it led me down a path that chipped away at my relationship with my wife, my child and God. It also led to bad decisions.
While I am sorry, that sorrow has led to a positive transformation in my life and a renewed focus. I am putting the important things - God and family - first because when I have to account for my life, that's what will matter.
Personally and professionally, I am proud of my accomplishments. In just the last decade, I have had incredible blessings, including marrying the love of my life and bringing our baby into the world.
And on top of all that, I am so honored to have this gift to serve you in Congress.
Moving forward, my passion remains undaunted. My priorities are clear. I stand ready to serve you in the House of Representatives. I don't care if you're a Democrat, a Republican or not involved in politics at all. I am here to serve our entire community.
As your servant in Congress, my voting record is indisputable when it comes to fighting for you and your family. Your health care, our economy and our environment have always been my top priorities. I have fostered solid relationships with both parties to find solutions and get things done. I have been and will continue to be one of the most accessible members of Congress, personally taking your calls and emails, and, of course, visiting you in person.
My wife, Amy, and I are vested here. We will raise our kids with your kids and your grandchildren. You are not just my constituents. You're more than that. You're our neighbors, our friends and our family.
Your gracious support and prayers are more appreciated than you will ever know.
I will return to Washington to work for you and continue to do what's right for our country. In the spirit of Christmas, thank you for this gift to serve you.
God bless you for your friendship, love and support. I hope you and yours had a merry Christmas and enjoy a happy New Year.
-Rep. Trey Radel

Full-time externships open doors for students and allow them to gain practical training and experience in a wide range of complex practice areas under expert supervision. Students might learn more about criminal law practice at the Los Angeles District Attorney Major Crimes Division or the Office of the Federal Public Defender, conduct work with the securities and exchange commissions in New York and Los Angeles, or assist with impact litigation at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Agency Externships
UCLA School of Law offers full-time externships in a variety of settings from government agencies to non-profit organizations. Students pursue externships in California, Seattle, Chicago, New York and Washington, DC (through our UCDC Program). Students taking a full-time agency externship must also enroll in a two-unit tutorial supervised by a faculty member who specializes in the subject matter of the student's externship. The tutorial is designed to help the student reflect on lawerying and professional issues raised during the externship.
To learn more, explore our current full-time externship opportunities.
Judicial Externships
Students can also choose to pursue a judicial externship in either the state or federal system, and in the trial, appellate or specialized courts. In a judicial externship, a student might gain exposure to oral argument in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, witness trial court practice and procedure firsthand, or develop knowledge of specialized areas of the law. Students who enroll in a judicial externship also attend a contemporaneous two-unit judicial process class at the law school.

The U.S. debt ceiling continues to dominate debate in Washington, D.C., this week. A great deal of the discussion hinges on job creation and fiscal responsibility. However, National Cattlemen's Beef Association Vice President of Government Affairs Colin Woodall said more attention should be given to curbing the administration's onslaught of "burdensome, costly and scientifically unfounded" regulations as a way to cut spending and prevent further job loss in rural America.
"There are so many factors being overlooked inside the Beltway that could stimulate the economy, create jobs and assist in reducing wasteful, unnecessary spending. The administration would minimize, if not eliminate, the risk of pushing farmers, ranchers and small businesses out of business if needless, costly regulations were never proposed. This is a real threat and one that needs to be addressed during spending debates," said Woodall.
Several members of Congress, including Congresswoman Kristi Noem, R-S.D., agree that overregulation is a costly concern for farm and ranch families.
"When I ask South Dakota producers what is the number one thing we can do in Washington, D.C., to help create jobs and grow our agricultural economy, the answer is simple: Give us more regulatory certainty," said Noem. "Not knowing what threatening regulation might be coming down the line from the Environmental Protection Agency dampens any small business owner's appetite for expanding their operation or hiring another employee. I believe it is essential that we stop the job-destroying overreach of the EPA, so we can give our producers the certainty they need to create jobs and grow our economy."
According to Woodall, NCBA fully intends to continue bringing widespread attention to the administration's "unprecedented" government overreach. Most recently, NCBA has turned to social media as way to do just that. On its YouTube channel, NCBA is tackling the administration's regulatory overreach, he said. On July 20, 2011, NCBA launched its "Regulatory Train Wreck" video, which presents the slew of regulations posing a threat to U.S. cattle ranchers. Woodall said if regulatory oversight does not become a priority, the administration's regulatory train could send farmers and ranchers into bankruptcy, which would be "detrimental" for the U.S. economy and food security.

Inspiring 22-Year-Old Launches New Business in Downtown Sioux Falls
Inspiration is the word that comes to mind when I think of Gabrielle Spangler.
This dynamic young woman radiates success, maturity, and determination. At such an exciting young age of 22, this ball of fire has successfully opened her own
unique store.
Man Code - that opened in August of 2013 - is a fun, fashionable, and fabulously trendy clothing store for men, with a business casual feel, located on Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls.
The store is getting ready for the holiday season.
"I look forward to women having a new place to find their men new gifts for the holidays and men being able the wear an outfit that they love to holiday parties," Spangler said.
When asked how she wanted to portray herself to others as a business owner, Spangler did not hesitate.
"To make an honest living for myself and to give others work as well," she answered confidently.
Balancing life and work has been the most challenging part of opening and running a new business for this young woman.
"I'm newly engaged so, it was like a wrecking ball the first month," Spangler said.
Man Code has a business trendy feel to it catering primarily to downtown businessmen, generally between the ages of 25-40 years of age.
All of the clothing lines are hand-picked by Gabrielle herself from designers in Chicago, Dallas and New York, including Jared Lang, an upscale designer from Montreal Canada who's objective is to create an exclusive lifestyle that has not been introduced yet in men and women's shirts.
"You have to be prepared to be knocked down and develop a tough skin," Spangler said to those aspiring to open their own business. "Be prepared to prove your self."
To find a great deal on the store items visit the Man Code the first Fridays of every month for sale prices.

Governments in Gulf Coast areas devastated by the 2005 hurricanes will no longer be required to pay 10 percent of the cost of repairing their public works.
State and local governments in Gulf Coast areas devastated by the 2005 hurricanes will no longer be required to pay 10 percent of the cost of repairing their roads, schools and other public works, under a provision of the emergency war spending bill approved by Congress on Thursday night.
Louisiana officials had said that the need to cover some of the repair costs themselves, instead of having the federal government assume all costs, was significantly slowing their recovery efforts. They praised Congress for making the change, which they estimated would save the state and its affected communities at least $775 million.
Mississippi will also benefit from the change, to a lesser degree.
The Bush administration had earlier opposed lifting the requirement, but after long and intense negotiations with Congress over the much larger provision financing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the president signed the bill yesterday.
"We are thrilled," Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana said in a telephone interview. The exemption, Ms. Blanco said, will particularly help local governments crippled by the storms.
In addition to the direct financial advantage, the waiver will reduce the paperwork that local governments must complete to get federal financing for infrastructure, said Andy Kopplin, executive director of the Louisiana Recovery Authority. That in itself will save some money, and will also hasten rebuilding.
"This definitely puts the foot down on the accelerator in terms of speeding up the recovery," Mr. Kopplin said.
Under a law enacted by Congress in 1988, the Federal Emergency Management Agency can pay for 90 percent of infrastructure repairs after significant natural disasters. The requirement that state and local governments match that by paying the other 10 percent was intended to prevent fraud and waste by giving them a financial stake in their own projects.
Louisiana intends to use money freed by the new waiver to help shore up its federally financed program helping homeowners rebuild their houses. That program, called the Road Home, is facing an eventual shortfall of about $2.9 billion, according to state estimates. More families have applied than the state anticipated, and have qualified for higher-than-expected grants.
New Orleans has been counting on the waiver to help pay for its own rebuilding plan. Mayor C. Ray Nagin issued a statement yesterday saying the city was very pleased with the exemption, which he called critical to recovery.
Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana, had made a concerted effort to get Congress to waive the 10 percent requirement. Ms. Landrieu was able to get a waiver included in a previous version of the war spending bill as well, but that measure was vetoed by President Bush because of its troop-withdrawal timetable.
Although the federal government eliminated the payment requirement after past disasters like Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew, the administration refused to do so after the 2005 hurricanes, arguing that it had given Louisiana enough federal money to cover the local governments' share of the costs.
But Louisiana officials said that this money came with significant strings attached and that qualifying for it put a huge regulatory burden on overwhelmed local governments, which have applied for federal assistance for about 20,000 projects so far. States and localities also said they simply did not have the money to put up a 10 percent match.
The waiver is not the only help that the newly enacted law affords the gulf region. The measure also includes $1.3 billion for repairs to levees along the Mississippi River around New Orleans, and permits the federal government to forgive repayment of disaster loans made to the communities affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
In addition, it provides for grants for various recovery programs in the region, including one to recruit teachers in Louisiana and another to fight crime by helping New Orleans pay for more police officers and prosecutors.

Sometimes called Hero, Heron of Alexandria was an important geometer and worker in mechanics. Perhaps the first comment worth making is how common the name Heron was around this time and it is a difficult problem in the history of mathematics to identify which references to Heron are to the mathematician described in this article and which are to others of the same name. There are additional problems of identification which we discuss below.
A major difficulty regarding Heron was to establish the date at which he lived. There were two main schools of thought on this, one believing that he lived around 150 BC and the second believing that he lived around 250 AD. The first of these was based mainly on the fact that Heron does not quote from any work later than Archimedes. The second was based on an argument which purported to show that he lived later that Ptolemy, and, since Pappus refers to Heron, before Pappus.
Both of these arguments have been shown to be wrong. There was a third date proposed which was based on the belief that Heron was a contemporary of Columella. Columella was a Roman soldier and farmer who wrote extensively on agriculture and similar subjects, hoping to foster in people a love for farming and a liking for the simple life. Columella, in a text written in about 62 AD [5]:-
... gave measurements of plane figures which agree with the formulas used by Heron, notably those for the equilateral triangle, the regular hexagon (in this case not only the formula but the actual figures agree with Heron's) and the segment of a circle which is less than a semicircle ...However, most historians believed that both Columella and Heron were using an earlier source and claimed that the similarity did not prove any dependence. We now know that those who believed that Heron lived around the time of Columella were in fact correct, for Neugebauer in 1938 discovered that Heron referred to a recent eclipse in one of his works which, from the information given by Heron, he was able to identify with one which took place in Alexandria at 23.00 hours on 13 March 62.
From Heron's writings it is reasonable to deduce that he taught at the Museum in Alexandria. His works look like lecture notes from courses he must have given there on mathematics, physics, pneumatics, and mechanics. Some are clearly textbooks while others are perhaps drafts of lecture notes not yet worked into final form for a student textbook.
Pappus describes the contribution of Heron in Book VIII of his Mathematical Collection. Pappus writes (see for example [8]):-
The mechanicians of Heron's school say that mechanics can be divided into a theoretical and a manual part; the theoretical part is composed of geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and physics, the manual of work in metals, architecture, carpentering and painting and anything involving skill with the hands.A large number of works by Heron have survived, although the authorship of some is disputed. We will discuss some of the disagreements in our list of Heron's works below. The works fall into several categories, technical works, mechanical works and mathematical works. The surviving works are:
... the ancients also describe as mechanicians the wonder-workers, of whom some work by means of pneumatics, as Heron in his Pneumatica, some by using strings and ropes, thinking to imitate the movements of living things, as Heron in his Automata and Balancings, ... or by using water to tell the time, as Heron in his Hydria, which appears to have affinities with the science of sundials.
On the dioptra dealing with theodolites and surveying. It contains a chapter on astronomy giving a method to find the distance between Alexandria and Rome using the difference between local times at which an eclipse of the moon is observed at each cities. The fact that Ptolemy does not appear to have known of this method led historians to mistakenly believe Heron lived after Ptolemy;
The pneumatica in two books studying mechanical devices worked by air, steam or water pressure. It is described in more detail below;
The automaton theatre describing a puppet theatre worked by strings, drums and weights;
Belopoeica describing how to construct engines of war. It has some similarities with work by Philon and also work by Vitruvius who was a Roman architect and engineer who lived in the 1st century BC;
The cheirobalistra about catapults is thought to be part of a dictionary of catapults but was almost certainly not written by Heron;
Mechanica in three books written for architects and described in more detail below;
Metrica which gives methods of measurement. We give more details below;
Definitiones contains 133 definitions of geometrical terms beginning with points, lines etc. In [15] Knorr argues convincingly that this work is in fact due to Diophantus;
Geometria seems to be a different version of the first chapter of the Metrica based entirely on examples. Although based on Heron's work it is not thought to be written by him;
Stereometrica measures three-dimensional objects and is at least in part based on the second chapter of the Metrica again based on examples. Again it is though to be based on Heron's work but greatly changed by many later editors;
Mensurae measures a whole variety of different objects and is connected with parts of Stereometrica and Metrica although it must be mainly the work of a later author;
Catoptrica deals with mirrors and is attributed by some historians to Ptolemy although most now seem to believe that this is a genuine work of Heron. In this work, Heron states that vision results from light rays emitted by the eyes. He believes that these rays travel with infinite velocity.
Let us examine some of Heron's work in a little more depth. Book I of his treatise Metrica deals with areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, regular polygons of between 3 and 12 sides, surfaces of cones, cylinders, prisms, pyramids, spheres etc. A method, known to the Babylonians 2000 years before, is also given for approximating the square root of a number. Heron gives this in the following form (see for example [5]):-
Since 720 has not its side rational, we can obtain its side within a very small difference as follows. Since the next succeeding square number is 729, which has 27 for its side, divide 720 by 27. This gives 262/3. Add 27 to this, making 532/3, and take half this or 265/6. The side of 720 will therefore be very nearly 265/6. In fact, if we multiply 265/6 by itself, the product is 7201/36, so the difference in the square is 1/36. If we desire to make the difference smaller still than 1/36, we shall take 7201/36 instead of 729 (or rather we should take 265/6 instead of 27), and by proceeding in the same way we shall find the resulting difference much less than 1/36.Heron also proves his famous formula in Book I of the Metrica :
if A is the area of a triangle with sides a, b and c and s = (a + b + c)/2 thenIn Book II of Metrica, Heron considers the measurement of volumes of various three dimensional figures such as spheres, cylinders, cones, prisms, pyramids etc. His preface is interesting, partly because knowledge of the work of Archimedes does not seem to be as widely known as one might expect (see for example [5]):-
A2 = s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c).
After the measurement of surfaces, rectilinear or not, it is proper to proceed to solid bodies, the surfaces of which we have already measured in the preceding book, surfaces plane and spherical, conical and cylindrical, and irregular surfaces as well. The methods of dealing with these solids are, in view of their surprising character, referred to Archimedes by certain writers who give the traditional account of their origin. But whether they belong to Archimedes or another, it is necessary to give a sketch of these results as well.Book III of Metrica deals with dividing areas and volumes according to a given ratio. This was a problem which Euclid investigated in his work On divisions of figures and Heron's Book III has a lot in common with the work of Euclid. Also in Book III, Heron gives a method to find the cube root of a number. In particular Heron finds the cube root of 100 and the authors of [9] give a general formula for the cube root of N which Heron seems to have used in his calculation:
a + b d/(b d + aD)(b - a),In [9] it is remarked that this is a very accurate formula, but, unless a Byzantine copyist is to be blamed for an error, they conclude that Heron might have borrowed this accurate formula without understanding how to use it in general.
where a3 < N < b3, d = N - a3, D = b3 - N.
where a3 < N < b3, d = N - a3, D = b3 - N.
The Pneumatica is a strange work which is written in two books, the first with 43 chapters and the second with 37 chapters. Heron begins with a theoretical consideration of pressure in fluids. Some of this theory is right but, not surprisingly, some is quite wrong. Then there follows a description of a whole collection of what might best be described as mechanical toys for children [1]:-
Trick jars that give out wine or water separately or in constant proportions, singing birds and sounding trumpets, puppets that move when a fire is lit on an altar, animals that drink when they are offered water ...Although all this seems very trivial for a scientist to be involved with, it would appear that Heron is using these toys as a vehicle for teaching physics to his students. It seems to be an attempt to make scientific theories relevant to everyday items that students of the time would be familiar with.
There is, rather remarkably, descriptions of over 100 machines such as a fire engine, a wind organ, a coin-operated machine, and a steam-powered engine called an aeolipile. Heron's aeolipile, which has much in common with a jet engine, is described in [2] as follows:-
The aeolipile was a hollow sphere mounted so that it could turn on a pair of hollow tubes that provided steam to the sphere from a cauldron. The steam escaped from the sphere from one or more bent tubes projecting from its equator, causing the sphere to revolve. The aeolipile is the first known device to transform steam into rotary motion.Heron wrote a number of important treatises on mechanics. They give methods of lifting heavy weights and describe simple mechanical machines. In particular the Mechanica is based quite closely on ideas due to Archimedes. Book I examines how to construct three dimensional shapes in a given proportion to a given shape. It also examines the theory of motion, certain statics problems, and the theory of the balance.
In Book II Heron discusses lifting heavy objects with a lever, a pulley, a wedge, or a screw. There is a discussion on centres of gravity of plane figures. Book III examines methods of transporting objects by such means as sledges, the use of cranes, and looks at wine presses.
Other works have been attributed to Heron, and for some of these we have fragments, for others there are only references. The works for which fragments survive include one on Water clocks in four books, and Commentary on Euclid's Elements which must have covered at least the first eight books of the Elements. Works by Heron which are referred to, but no trace survives, include Camarica or On vaultings which is mentioned by Eutocius and Zygia or On balancing mentioned by Pappus. Also in the Fihrist, a tenth century survey of Islamic culture, a work by Heron on how to use an astrolabe is mentioned.
Finally it is interesting to look at the opinions that various writers have expressed as to the quality and importance of Heron. Neugebauer writes [7]:-
The decipherment of the mathematical cuneiform texts made it clear that much of the "Heronic" type of Greek mathematics is simply the last phase of the Babylonian mathematical tradition which extends over 1800 years.Some have considered Heron to be an ignorant artisan who copied the contents of his books without understanding what he wrote. This in particular has been levelled against the Pneumatica but Drachmann, writing in [1], says:-
... to me the free flowing, rather discursive style suggests a man well versed in his subject who is giving a quick summary to an audience that knows, or who might be expected to know, a good deal about it.Some scholars have approved of Heron's practical skills as a surveyor but claimed that his knowledge of science was negligible. However, Mahony writes in [1]:-
In the light of recent scholarship, he now appears as a well-educated and often ingenious applied mathematician, as well as a vital link in a continuous tradition of practical mathematics from the Babylonians, through the Arabs, to Renaissance Europe.Finally Heath writes in [5]:-
The practical utility of Heron's manuals being so great, it was natural that they should have great vogue, and equally natural that the most popular of them at any rate should be re-edited, altered and added to by later writers; this was inevitable with books which, like the "Elements" of Euclid, were in regular use in Greek, Byzantine, Roman, and Arabian education for centuries.

Munneswaram Kovil's Animal Sacrifice
Munneswaram Hindu Kovil is one of oldest devoting place for many ethnic groups in Srilanka. Munneswaram is an important place for the srilankan Buddhists too. However Annual animal Sacrifice in Munneswaram Kovil has been took place today despite the large protests of Buddhists and Srilankan Society.
Around 300 goats and nearly 1000 chickens were killed today and sacrificed to Hindu Goads.
A large number of Buddhist monks protested today on this animal killing at Chilaw (Puttalam). However Police stops the march of the Buddhist monks towards Munneswaram Kovil. Then monks then seated on the road and started to continue protest until stopping of animal sacrifice.
National Buddhist Movement said that they have made numerous appeals to government officials to stop this animal sacrifice in the Hindu temple. However officials had not made any positive reactions against the killings.
Munneswaram Hindu Temple's animal sacrifice stopped in 1977. However it has started again and said that it backed by government support.

Philanthropy started at an early age for Page Nevel, who watched her mother start a breast cancer foundation with her friends.
Philanthropy started at an early age for Page Nevel, who watched her mother start a breast cancer foundation with her friends.
Nevel said being in the same room with the women who founded Bares it All when she was a child helped her grow up with a strong sense of giving back.
On Thursday, Nevel was named the "Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy" for Western North Carolina by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Nevel began volunteering with the Blue Ridge Humane Society in 2009 when she was in middle school.
"Animal welfare is a big passion of mine," Nevel said. "I wanted some way to be involved with that, and I wasn't old enough to volunteer in the shelter, but I could volunteer in their thrift store."
Nevel worked her way through the thrift store and on to the shelter and eventually was able to complete an internship with Humane Society Executive Director Lutrelle O'Cain. The internship led Nevel to a job assisting O'Cain this summer before she left for college.
Nevel recalled working one Sunday afternoon when a male Labrador retriever named Thomas was brought in with an enormous wound on the back of his leg. The dog was tied up when found.
"This was a very unfortunate situation," Nevel said. "Over the next two weeks, watching him receive this love and watching him heal and become this outward, loving, excited animal, I was so grateful to be in this place of love and care - it was just so moving in a way that you don't get in any other line of work."
J. Clarkson, chair of the nominating committee for the award, said O'Cain nominated Nevel for the award.
"A couple of things stood out to us about Page. She had a very long-term commitment to the Blue Ridge Humane Society," Clarkson said. "It was not just resume padding for college; she clearly had a commitment."
Clarkson said a committee reviewed the applications for each award and evaluated each candidate's path in philanthropy.
"She (Nevel) was willing to do a lot of work in their fundraising area, which not many young people are interested in, and that as much as anything is something we like to celebrate," Clarkson said. "She is really remarkable because she really moved around within that organization and learned a lot about how they operated."
Nevel's volunteering did not stop with the humane society; she was also president of Hendersonville High's Interact Club, which works with the local Rotary Chapter.
Through Interact, she helped set up the annual blood drive, recycling programs on campus and packing boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Her senior year she started Hendersonville High's first Pride club, a gay-straight alliance to support all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.
"We were worried about how people would react to it, but were met very little resistance within the school," Nevel said. "We got a lot of support from students and staff to make it happen."
Nevel said the club is still active and will be marching again this year in the Apple Festival parade.

This month I am attempting to get a jump on things a bit. I am hoping to get the info out in a more timely fashion throughout this new year for the User Group meetings for S3OLV.
Out with the old and in with the new. Let's ring in the New Year for the Las Vegas SQL User Group together and with a bang.
Helping us will be Joshua Lewis as he presents the first part in his three part series on XML.
XML for the DBA – A Series (part 1)
XML has been a feature available in SQL Server for a long time, but the capabilities were limited, and it was never very easy to use. This was always a huge disappointment to me, because XML in itself should be any DBA's best friend when it is used properly. What we typically see in applications is not the prettiest example of XML; it is typically used by developers to accomplish things very quickly when it comes to data.
For the most part, XML is a heap of data that can get very large, doesn't store well, and isn't easily indexed.
But consider this: What if a very data-centric person were the one dictating the XML (like a DBA)? XML, when used properly, can be a very powerful tool in data storage and presentation.
About Josh
Joshua is a Database Professional, with over 10 years' experience in Configuration / Administration of Data Infrastructures, Performance tuning, Development, and Business Intelligence Architecture, using Microsoft's suite of SQL Server Products.
Over the years, and in varied industries, he has supported and optimized large DataCenters, developed multiple ETL platforms for handling client eligibility / enrollment / claims, and designed security policies and procedures to meet various industry security certifications (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and CISP).
Currently, Joshua is expanding his knowledge and skills to .NET, building Value-Add interfaces and integrations to SQL Server and Integration Services through the use of SQL-CLR and Custom SSIS Components.

Sol 102 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Driving Again17 November 2012
I'm back on tactical operations tomorrow as SOWG Chair, so I'm following along with Sol 102 planning to get up to speed after being away at the ChemCam team meeting. The rover drove to a nearby rock target yesterday, and the plan is to drive 35 meters on Sol 102 after placing the APXS on the nearby rock target for a short chemistry measurement. The rover will stop early in the drive to look back at the scuff in the ripple using Mastcam. This is a fairly complex plan, and I'm happy to see that the ops team is taking it on. We had some trouble with one of the web video sharing tools today, so had to use a backup system that is slower (long delay relative to phone/real time). Otherwise, remote operations are going well and MSL is healthy. It helps that I can recognize most of the voices on the phone!

Paul Walker's 'Fast & Furious' Co-Star, Tyrese Gibson, Has Heart-Wrenching Breakdown at Crash Site Where Friend Died (Watch)
Paul Walker's co-star in the "Fast & Furious" movie franchise, Tyrese Gibson, had a heart-wrenching breakdown while visiting the site of the crash where his friend died in Valencia, Calif., on Saturday.
Gibson, a Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter, actor and former fashion model was captured in a just over 2-minute video posted on popular entertainment site World Star Hip Hop in an overwhelming moment of grief, staring at the place Walker died.
The star, who had a yellow flower in his hand in the video, stared briefly at the scene before he began crying openly, disregarding a throng of onlookers, many of whom were busy snapping pictures and recording him on video.
Some viewers of the video were angry that the star wasn't allowed to have the moment without it being recorded while others felt he was playing for the cameras.
"People's obsession with celebrities is incredibly disturbing. This dude is trying to mourn the loss of a close friend and they're all watching and taking pictures like this dude is street performing," wrote one commenter on the video under the username GrowTheHellup.
Since Walker's death, however, Gibson has also been grieving openly on social media about the loss of his friend.
"My heart is hurting so bad. No one can make me believe this is real. Father God I pray that you send clarity over this cause I just don't understand. My heart hurts it's broken no one can convince me that this is real.... Prayer warriors please pray real hard for his only child, his daughter and family... #HeartOfAnAngel13YrsFamilyForever. WeJustCelebreatedYour40thBirthday..... My God... My God... I can't believe I'm writing this," he noted in a post on his Facebook page Sunday which included a photo of him and his friend.
He later followed up that post with another and included a photo showing bits of the wreckage from the accident in his hand.
"I will keep your energy with me forever #AshesOfAnAngel fast family around the world we love you and we love you Paul is the heartbeat of this franchise and were gonna see to it that his energy and presence lives on forever #myhearthurtssobad," he wrote.
Many of his more than 4 million Facebook fans like Jose Antonio Carrillo noted that they appreciated his open grieving.
"Don't stop the Posts Tyrese Gibson. Celebrate his life, Let it all out brother. Don't keep your emotions in. Your posts are helping us all," wrote Carrillo.

Last week during my visit to NYC, I was able to have a quiet dinner at La Barrique – a French wine bar in Midtown on 39th Street between 5th & 6th Ave. The place has a cozy vibe and when you walk in from the street the first thing you will notice is a long rustic bar that seems to attract a boisterous after work crowd. The back of the restaurant is a bit less loud and depending on where you are seated provides an excellent view to people watch.
The French menu is divided into four parts; appetizers ($7-$13), main dishes ($20-$32), mussels and french fries (all $17) and burgers ($12-$14). The wine menu is also very accessible with glasses $9 and bottles $32.
I started with a surprisingly good salad ($8.95) that came with clumps of goat cheese the size of quarters nestled between citrus, walnuts and greens. It was brought to the table right after being served my wine and warmed bread. The trio of salad, wine and bread really proved to be very satisfying.
While I enjoyed my main dish of fettucine with crab ($16.95) , I think I chose poorly and should have opted for one of the half dozen options for mussels and fries. The "moules frites" looked delicious, were nearly universally ordered.
Dinner at La Barrique was very reasonable and I'm glad I came to this tiny wine bar. My meal which included house greens, a large pasta plate and a glass of a Cotes du Rhone was $38.00 without tip. That's tough to beat in a place like NYC.
La Barrique is located at 38 West 39th Street (212) 997-3910

PORTSMOUTH — "Computer intrusions and network attacks are the greatest cyber threat to our national security," FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a U.S. Senate homeland security panel in September.
And, according to MJ Shoer, president of Jenaly Technology Group, cyber crime and cyber terrorism are about to be named the No. 1 threat to our nation.
Shoer issued the warning to a group of 25 owners and staff members of small- and mid-size businesses during a lunchtime seminar about cyber security. The event, sponsored by Jenaly, a Portsmouth-based IT provider, took place Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Portsmouth Harbor Events & Conference Center.
The gist of the 90-minute seminar was that businesses are not as safe as they think they are. Shoer explained what businesses need to do to be safe online and in their office, and he offered practical action steps to that end.
Shoer founded Jenaly in 1997. He is an expert in cyber security, having authored two books and testified before Congress about the topic. In an interesting – but somewhat disturbing – aside, Shoer said, "The most fascinating thing about Congress is how clueless it is about cyber security."
Besides excellence as an IT provider, Jenaly has also been recognized for its environmental practices as a business partner of the Green Alliance, a union of local sustainable businesses promoting environmentally sound business practices, and a green co-op offering discounted green products and services to its members.
On Wednesday, Shoer told attendees that, mostly because of automated software programs, but also because of individual hackers' efforts, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of attempts occur each day to breach each business represented at the seminar. Many of the attempts come from organized crime groups in Eastern Europe. In fact, so many residents of one Romanian town dedicate themselves to hacking, that the FBI has stationed its only overseas field office just outside of town.
Shoer cited the $10 million loss Subway restaurants sustained when hackers exploited a default username and password combination for remote access hardware. "Password security is the biggest issue out there," he said. "Sixty-one percent of people reuse the same password on multiple Web sites." He said business people – everyone, really – should use different passwords for different purposes: business, personal, shopping, banking, etc.
"Banks are under attack," he said. "It's a modern-day war front." And our electric grid is vulnerable. For companies doing millions of dollars of business a day, or more modest amounts, "What if you can't do that for a week?" he asked rhetorically, noting that there has been a 300 percent increase in the number of data breaches since 2010.
"Password management is the leading cause of data breach," he said, telling business people to change password strategies, using password phrases and including spaces, symbols, a combination of upper- and lower-case letters and numbers. He also advised using a "password manager" that uses both a password and a pin number with a high degree of "encryption" — which is the translation of data into a secret code.
Soon passwords of fewer than eight characters will no longer be permitted, he said, and biometrics – such as using finger prints – will be a more widely used security measure.
"A good encryption manager is a step in the right direction," Shoer said, while noting that FBI agents told Congress: "Nothing is 100 percent safe." "The brutal truth," Shoer added, "is if someone wants to hack you, he will be able to do it. The only question is if you find out before he does much damage."
Medical records are a target for hackers, not so much for the information they hold in files, but as a vessel by which to mask hackers to do damage to third-parties. He suggested that online banking be done on a "dedicated machine," that is, one that only does online banking.
Shoer advised attendees to:
• Install a managed firewall with application filtering and human-level reporting and intrusion prevention into their networks.
• Install external email security scanning. Emails are the second most numerous attack point on a network.
• Install a firewall-based anti-virus/anti malware detection program.
• Install a secured wireless access point.
• Install "rogue device" detection. "Everything gets shared with everybody these days," Shoer said of younger people, who connect to each other with multiple devices, exposing networks to attack.
• Implement USB/portable device detection/prevention.
• Institute a strong password policy.
Minimum computer best policies he advised included:
• Keep the firewall on at all times
• Use anti-virus and anti-malware software.
• Keep software up to date.
• Be very careful with downloads, email links, and never click on pop-ups. While obviously forbidden to watch at work, porn Web sites and sports-information sites expose computers to danger. "Don't drive in bad neighborhoods," an FBI agent has warned in reference to suspect Web sites. Shoer suggested companies install a couple of computers with web access but not connected to the network if people absolutely need to catch up on the latest scores.
Using the Nook or Kindle on a wireless network is "a huge breach point," Shoer said. "There is no way that they're designed to be in the business world." The iPhone and iPad can have a higher degree of security. But in the end, "I don't see a need to connect a portable device to a network except for corporate email," he said.
For mobile devices, best practices include:
• Use device encryption.
• Use mobile device managerial software.
• Restrict access to what's only necessary for corporate data and networks.
• Enforce wireless encryption policies.
• Do not allow personal devices on the company network.
• Institute a clear "backup policy."
• It's best to only support company-issued devices.
However, for all the technical countermeasures to cyber attacks, Shoer said, "you and I are still the biggest danger, and we're the last line of defense."

In the world of The L Word, supporting characters–specially Shane's love interests–come and go (though some, like Tonya, couldn't possibly go quickly enough). So as the second season began, it was a relief to see new recurring character Carmen (Sarah Shahi) make such a positive contribution so quickly.
Carmen is even-keeled and, well, hot. But more importantly, as a Latina, Carmen inches the show ever closer to portraying the true diversity of lesbian identities. Southern California is largely Latino, so it's especially encouraging to see this attempt to represent local demographics in a show about Los Angeles lesbians.
In her first episode Carmen reveals that she's the daughter of "some kind of Mayan medicine man" who died in a motorcycle crash before her birth. Later episodes refer to her Latina heritage more indirectly: In Episode Six the wardrobe department gives her a T-shirt that reads "Everyone loves a Latin girl" while the sound department doctors the show's theme song with Spanish lyrics and congas for one of her scenes.
Carmen's heritage is also mentioned on the official L Word website, which proffers the character's decidedly Latino last name–de la Pica–and, lest there be any confusion, refers to her as a "Latina beauty." No other character's ethnicity is referenced in their bio.
It is unreasonable to expect Carmen to represent all Latina lesbians, even if she bears that unfair burden in many viewers' minds as the show's only Latina character. Nevertheless, representing Carmen's heritage without trivializing or fetishizing it is a serious responsibility, and the t-shirt and the modified theme song tread on very thin ice in this regard. We can only hope that if the show's creators finally write in an Asian American character (currently a conspicuous absence considering the L.A. setting), they will have the sense to go about it thoughtfully rather than spicing up the theme song with a gong.
Despite a few gaps and missteps, the L Word succeeds in representing lesbian diversity, in terms of ethnicity at least, better than any other television series ever has. The addition of Carmen is a positive step, and viewers have reason to expect further improvement.
Shahi, the actor who plays Carmen, has hinted that her character's ethnic background will be addressed more extensively in season three. On the show's website Shahi explains, "In the second season, you really don't get to know that much of Carmen's story–her own personal background. My storyline is intermixed with those I'm in relationship to. It's not until the next season that we're actually going to go into Carmen's life and explore what it's like being a gay Latina, and get to see her own family."

001. Pretty uneventful week to be honest! It was my baby brothers birthday, I cant believe he's a whole year old! And I took a sly trip to London. Between that I've just been playing Bejewelled, and downloaded Temple Run (damn you who recommended it!) and read more of A Feast of Crows by George R.R. Martin. Got some silly little term trending on Twitter and thankfully stuck to my 2012 healthy diet!
002. I've decided to start running again, Long time followers would know that last year I really got into running and would run 5-6k everyday as well as doing two hours at the gym. Im big on sports/working out, but I ended up stopping as I had far too many niggling sports injuries and I never got back into it. Decided its time, and Im going to try running outside. This really makes me nervous for some reason! I can do it on a treadmill no worries, but the idea of running on the road/park makes me feel really scared! Probably just worried someone will see me panting and sweating in public!
003. I mentioned my wardrobe clear out in yesterdays post and I thought it went without saying I'll link everyone when it does go up! Strange looking through all my old stuff, I even have a original before-they-were-famous PANIC! At the Disco t-shirt as well as my first ever pair of skinny jeans (yah I dont wear trousers!)! I cant believe how much stuff I hoard sometimes!
004. Been rounding up 2011's top 5's of various makeup products on ETC LLYMLRS this past week! Probably the best way to see the makeup I actually use without me having to do a tutorial. I doubt I'd ever do a makeup tutorial, I think that in some ways it gives people a bit of false hope, buying expensive makeup like X wears doesnt mean its going to look the same on you or make you look like them. Suppose that is a bit contradictory coming from someone who beauty blogs on the side!
005. Finally got round to updating the shop with all its new stock, even though I was supposed to do it a few days ago! All the usual deals in place with 3 for £8 and five for £10. Including free UK shipping until the end of Monday. I initially said the shop would be closed on Monday, but it will now be shut on Tuesday for a week (I will put this on the website!) because of some potentially exciting news coming up!But I cant confirm anything quite yet!

CHET BROKAW Associated Press
PIERRE, S.D. - Cattle should be able to make it through the frigid temperatures and howling winds predicted for the next few days if they have feed, water and shelter, according to South Dakota ranchers.
Bob Fortune of Belvidere, in the southwestern part of the state, spent Saturday hauling hay and other feed to his cattle to prepare them for a wind chill expected to reach 50 to 60 degrees below zero by Sunday night.
"In our location, that's about all we have to do. We've got some really rough country for the cattle to get down into the breaks," Fortune said.
An early October blizzard killed at least 20,000 cattle in western South Dakota, but the animals were weakened by cold rain that fell before the snow. Fortune said cattle are better prepared to handle the current weather because they have grown their winter hair, and he added that little moisture is expected.
"We're not too worried about it," Fortune said. "It's a part of ranching. You don't like it when it gets this cold because cattle don't gain much when it's this cold or they're apt to lose a little weight."
Chuck O'Connor, who ranches near Philip in western South Dakota, agreed that the frigid weather with no threat of snow doesn't compare with the October storm.
"To be honest with you, it's just another day of winter to me. It's nothing I'm going to get excited about yet," O'Connor said.
O'Connor said he fed hay to his cattle Saturday, but they didn't even bother to come in to eat it.
Fortune, 65, said ranchers can deal with winter weather better than in decades past because they work in tractors with heated cabs.
"You want to make sure you're not exposed and get your work done before the wind comes up. Then you hunker down and let it blow over and then go back to work," Fortune said.

SCAP Validated Tools
Vulnerability Search
An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to the scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).
In OpenSSH 7.9, due to accepting and displaying arbitrary stderr output from the server, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can manipulate the client output, for example to use ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred.
An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. This affects refresh_progress_meter() in progressmeter.c.
In OpenSSH 7.9, scp.c in the scp client allows remote SSH servers to bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target directory on the client side.
OpenSSH through 7.7 is prone to a user enumeration vulnerability due to not delaying bailout for an invalid authenticating user until after the packet containing the request has been fully parsed, related to auth2-gss.c, auth2-hostbased.c, and auth2-pubkey.c.
sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an out-of-sequence NEWKEYS message, as demonstrated by Honggfuzz, related to kex.c and packet.c.
The process_open function in sftp-server.c in OpenSSH before 7.6 does not properly prevent write operations in readonly mode, which allows attackers to create zero-length files.
The client in OpenSSH before 7.2 mishandles failed cookie generation for untrusted X11 forwarding and relies on the local X11 server for access-control decisions, which allows remote X11 clients to trigger a fallback and obtain trusted X11 forwarding privileges by leveraging configuration issues on this X11 server, as demonstrated by lack of the SECURITY extension on this X11 server.
sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3, when SHA256 or SHA512 are used for user password hashing, uses BLOWFISH hashing on a static password when the username does not exist, which allows remote attackers to enumerate users by leveraging the timing difference between responses when a large password is provided.
The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
authfile.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not properly consider the effects of realloc on buffer contents, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive private-key information by leveraging access to a privilege-separated child process.
sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4, when privilege separation is not used, creates forwarded Unix-domain sockets as root, which might allow local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, related to serverloop.c.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in ssh-agent.c in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary local PKCS#11 modules by leveraging control over a forwarded agent-socket.
The auth_password function in auth-passwd.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3 does not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crypt CPU consumption) via a long string.
The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
Multiple CRLF injection vulnerabilities in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.2p2 allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended shell-command restrictions via crafted X11 forwarding data, related to the (1) do_authenticated1 and (2) session_x11_req functions.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the mm_answer_pam_free_ctx function in monitor.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.0 on non-OpenBSD platforms might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request.
The monitor component in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.0 on non-OpenBSD platforms accepts extraneous username data in MONITOR_REQ_PAM_INIT_CTX requests, which allows local users to conduct impersonation attacks by leveraging any SSH login access in conjunction with control of the sshd uid to send a crafted MONITOR_REQ_PWNAM request, related to monitor.c and monitor_wrap.c.
The kbdint_next_device function in auth2-chall.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 6.9 does not properly restrict the processing of keyboard-interactive devices within a single connection, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks or cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long and duplicative list in the ssh -oKbdInteractiveDevices option, as demonstrated by a modified client that provides a different password for each pam element on this list.
The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in OpenSSH before 6.9, when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacks a check of the refusal deadline for X connections, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection outside of the permitted time window.
