Color Options from American Patchwork & Quilting®October 2009
Log Cabin Stars
Intricate color play, carefully pieced units, and a striking setting play up the versatility of the much-loved Log Cabin block.
Log Cabin Stars Color Option
Friendship Star Log Cabins
Vivid red star points jump off the quilt while muted gold star points recede, forming a single, large Friendship Star. A four-in-one print from the Happy Campers collection by American Jane for Moda Fabrics provided a fussy-cut middle border featuring the ABCs.

Jennifer Keltner's version of Log Cabin Stars
Though there is high contrast between blocks in executive editor Jennifer Keltner's quilt, it's the subtle color variation within each block that provides interest. "You can differentiate the pieces because the prints I used have a variety of scale," Jennifer says. Fabrics are from the Authentic collection by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics.
Ahead of the Curve
Add a new technique to your skill set by learning to piece curved seams with ease. Bold prints and bright white combine to make a stunning bed quilt.
Ahead of the Curve Color Option
Melon Patch Circles
Warm and cool colors blend beautifully in these Melon Patch blocks that use Sunshine Cottage's Stonehenge collection for Northcott Fabrics. The fabric's simple print allows the form to be easily seen.
Lisa Schumacher's version of Ahead of the Curve
Interactive editor Lisa Schumacher followed quilt tester Laura Boehnke's lead and focused on the pattern's circular design. Lisa pieced each of her blocks with a pair of fabrics from Alice Kennedy's Apple collection for Timeless Treasures.
Friendship Album
A scrappy assortment of signature blocks makes a heartwarming keepsake throw to keep or give as a gift.
Friendship Album Color Option
Autograph Kid's Quilt
Create a keepsake for a child's birthday party by making a table cover quilt out of Chimney Sweep blocks that partygoers can sign. Fabrics are Mary Lou Weidman's Happiness Is collection for Benartex.
Elizabeth Tisinger's version of Friendship Album
Editor Elizabeth Tisinger loves the graphic possibilities of the Chimney Sweep block. She created an Amish-inspired quilt using solid black and Prism II basics by Brian Evans for Quilting Treasures.
Everything's Blooming
While just two simple blocks compose the quilt center, the varied mix of prints makes it look like puzzle play. A fusible-appliqué border of windswept blooms provides an unexpected finish.
Everything's Blooming Color Option
Kid's Quilted Play Mat
Keep the quilt's intended use in mind when planning fabric placement. This children's quilt is expected to be used as a play mat, so the border panels from Melissa Saylor's Fun on the Farm collection for Wilmington Prints face out on all sides.
Mary Irish's version of Everything's Blooming
Administrative assistant Mary Irish made a quick-to-piece throw (for herself!) using just the center portion of Everything's Blooming and the Bluebird Dishes and Watermark collections from Fine Lines Fabric.
Wildest Dreams
Challenge yourself to re-create this antique quilt top-a stunning mix of scrappy stars on a double pink background. You'll be an expert at templates and setting in seams when you're done.
Wildest Dreams Color Option
Batik Triangle Stars
The same pattern is used to create the four blocks in this wall hanging. Careful fabric placement creates the illusion that the blocks are different. Using Tonga Batiks from Timeless Treasures' Fire and Ice collections resulted in a graphic quilt.

Laura Boehnke's second version of Wildest Dreams
Laura Boehnke had so many ideas for this pattern that she made a second color option. A variety of sherbet and bright tone-on-tones emphasize the block's wheel or sunray design.
Stepping Stones
The interplay of lights and darks gives this wall hanging a three-dimensional feel. Don't worry about binding outside and inside corners-there's no need! The quilt top is stitched to the backing with right sides together before it's quilted.
Stepping Stones Color Option
Log Cabin Table Topper
The colors in these Log Cabin blocks are similar in value, but each round is clearly visible because the colors are opposites on the color wheel. The festive four-block table topper features the Holiday Splendor collection by Yolanda Fundora for Blank Quilting.
Nancy Wiles' version of Stepping Stones
"I love graphic prints based on nature," design director Nancy Wiles says. While she was excited about the Arcadia collection by Sanae for Moda Fabrics (modafabrics.com), she was unsure how the prints would look cut into this quilt's small pieces. She utilized tone-on-tones for the smallest areas and was pleased with the result.
Sew Your Seeds
Using a bit of hand appliqué and beading, transform scraps of cotton, wool, and velvet into a funky floral needle keeper.
Sew Your Seeds Color Option
Folk Art Needle Case
Cotton prints mixed with wools, delicate beads, and a careful choice of threads give a needle case a vintage flair. Stitch around the appliqués with contrasting thread and the flowers may appear whimsical; matching thread may yield a more romantic, traditional look. Cotton fabrics are from the Sachet Potpourri line by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics.
Elizabeth Stumbo's version of Sew Your Seeds
For a project that's even quicker than fusible appliqué, senior graphic designer Elizabeth Stumbo cut the patterns from scrapbooking paper and adhered them to cardstock with brads and eyelets. She finished the piece with a frame made to hold 4x6" photographs.
Scattered Leaves
Add Log Cabin-like borders to adjoining edges of Maple Leaf units for pieced blocks that can be twisted and turned into a mazelike quilt. A scrappy assortment of dark and medium prints produces a cozy, seasonal throw.
Scattered Leaves Color Option
Maple Leaf Log Cabins
Each leaf in this wall hanging stands out from its low-contrast, neutral-tone frame. The high-texture fabrics are from Lonni Rossi's Black and Tan and Peppermint Party collections for Andover Fabrics.
Download instructions and materials needed to make this throw.
Jody Sanders' version of Scattered Leaves
Assistant editor Jody Sanders drew from her stash of batiks-many with leaf motifs-to mimic the view when looking up at a beautiful blue sky on a crisp fall day.
Woven Wonder
Cleverly cut and place stripe batiks to form a basket-weave effect. The use of contemporary fabrics results in an updated version of a traditional Amish design.
Woven Wonder Color Option
Radiant Squares Wall Hanging
It's not always apparent how medium- or large-scale prints will look when cut up. View each black-and-white print of the Sketchbook collection from P&B Textiles through a 2-1/2"-square window template to see how dark or light "gray" it appears.
Jill Abeloe Mead's version
A subtler shift in color and value appears in editor Jill Abeloe Mead's version made from a variety of printed and woven stripes. "The deep orange and yellow remind me of sunsets back home in Northern California," Jill says.

Are you finding a way online to stop and fix viber.exe error on your computer? Already known what cause this problem or still have no idea about it? You can get more information about it from the following content and learn a right way to figure it out.
What's viber.exe Error?
File with EXE extension is an executable file that used to run your associated applications on your computer system, it also contains some other resources like the Windows related icons, but maps and do on. When the .exe file encounters an error on your computer, you may receive a notification like "viber.exe cannot be opened" or "the file encounter an error", and cause the associated programs cannot be launched and operated as usual.
General causes and symptoms of the error issues
It is impractical for identifying and making clear about what exactly cause the problem right now, because different people have different using environments on their computers, and we don't know what they did or installed any suspicious files on PC. According to many people's experiences of getting the error issue, we find some common reasons and causes of it, which will be useful for you to fix the error on the computer:
- Associated program contains some bugs and need to be fixed or upgraded
- Program you newly installed is not installed completely
- Program conflict issue: you are installing or running multiple programs which are incompatible with one another
- Rogueware and virus are attacking the computer system
- System registry entries encounter some error issues
Already made clear about the problem on your computer, it's time to fix viber.exe with the following resolutions.

1. Update the associated program to the newest version
If the associated file just belonging to a particular program on your computer and you haven't been updated for a long time, please stop the program running on your computer firstly, and to to download and install the newest version of the program to replace the previous one. If you are still able to launch the program on your computer, you can find out the update button on the software, and follow the instruction to update the application to the newest version. Please remember to restart your computer after the installation.
If it is not the cause of the error issue, or you cannot install the update smoothly to replace the current program on your PC, please try the following methods to fix the error well.

- Restart your computer, and download a brand-new install package of the program from a reliable online resource, and choose to install it
3. Install available updates for the related device drivers on computer
In the daily use of computer, people barely pay attention to the device driver and also do not update or optimize it regularly. However, this is an important factor for the effective operations of associated processes on the computer. To fix the error, you should find out the specific driver which used to support the viber.exe on your PC, and go to install available updates for the driver.
- There are usually two ways enable you to update the device driver:
- Install it manually via Windows system update
- Apply a driver optimized tool to check for available updates and install them automatically
4. Scan and remove infected viruses
Infections like computer viruses, rogueware, worms, and trojan horses are really harmful for the computer system, and that kind of error can be caused by these infections for the associated files or registries being modified and compromised. In additional to the spaecific problem, you will also encounter a large number of strange problems and issues on the PC, such as file name being change, program being removed or disabled without your knowing and permission. Therefore, it must be a hot issue if you suspect that the computer has been infected by malicious viruses and threats.

5. Run professional fix tool to fix viber.exe error
Registry issue is a very common cause for such an error as well as many other EXE error issues on the computer, this is because the registries in Windows system are very easy to be modified, removed or disabled for the improper operation, but it would be a big challenge if you want to fix them on your PC in order to resolve viber.exe error. System Registry is an advanced database on the computer that closely related to many functions and performance on the machine, repairing them is not as easy as recovering the problematic file with a new one, you should known which file is the cause and how can recover it on the original location.
Therefore, it is not suggested for a common computer user to manually fix and modify the registry inside, instead, a pro registry fix tool will be much better and safer to take good care of the system database and resolve the registry problems inside. Once these registry issues being fixed well by the advanced tool, you will be able to stop and fix viber.exe error on your computer.

The past summer, I read Eliot Schrefer's Endangered in one sitting. (My review here). I've been thinking about it ever since, so when I decided to query authors for Full STEAM Ahead, Eliot immediately jumped to mind. The research he conducted for the book took him all the way to a bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can't get more hands-on in science than sitting amongst the bonobos and interacting with them and their caretakers! And what I really love is that the story began with Eliot researching where the name of his favorite store, Bonobos, originated. Talk about real-life applications of research!
Eliot contributed some Q and A about the way science influenced his writing. Specifically, he is here today to talk about the time he spent at Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He has even shared some video clips of the time he spent at the sanctuary!
Q: Did you make any surprising observations about bonobos at the Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary?
A: One thing I discovered while I was at the Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo was that the orphans really don't like men. I'm a smaller guy, so they didn't mind me too much, but whenever I had an orphan on my lap and one of the larger men on the staff—a gardener or a guard—would come over, the orphan would immediately be on his feet and crying for her surrogate mother to come over and hold her.
Of course, it was mostly likely men who came into the forest and killed that orphan's mother. The young creatures receive so much love at the sanctuary, and have such a good time playing with one another, that it's easy to forget where they all came from. But the immediate, visceral fear on an orphan's face in the company of men made it all come back. They are 98.7% human, and extraordinarily sensitive. They're as likely to forget about losing a parent as we would be.
Esperance Tsona and Anne-Marie Ngalula, surrogate mother and nurse, respectively, at Lola ya bonobo, Kinshasa. (Video taken by Eliot Schrefer.)
Q: Did it concern you to write about animal welfare in a country with so much human suffering?
A: Jane Goodall, who no doubt gets asked this question all the time, wrote a wonderfully articulate response in her memoir, Through a Window:
Often I am asked whether I do not feel that it is unethical to devote time to the welfare of 'animals' when so many human beings are suffering. Would it not be more appropriate to help starving children, battered wives, the homeless? Fortunately, there are hundreds of people addressing their considerable talents, humanitarian principles and fund-raising abilities to such causes. My own particular energies are not needed there. Cruelty is surely the very worst of human sins. To fight cruelty, in any shape or form— whether it be towards other human beings or non-human beings—brings us into direct conflict with that unfortunately streak of inhumanity that lurks in all of us. If only we could overcome cruelty with compassion we should be well on the way to creating a new and boundless ethic—one that would respect all living beings. We should stand at the threshold of a new era in human evolution—the realization, at last, of our most unique quality: humanity.
I feel like being a sensitive adult leading an examined life entails a low level of guilt— this nagging feeling that we're not doing enough to help others, that there's so much to be improved but no clear way to help. Normally that guilt can be ignored, but it's brought to the surface when we face suffering directly. One of the ways to hide that guilt back away is to say that some sufferings are outranked by others and can therefore can be ignored. But that's a sure route to not doing anything about any of them. At some point you have to trust in compassion and the support of others, that someone else might take care of the rest of the world's woes if I help this specific creature in front of me.
Bonobos also serve as the ambassadors for a number of less adorable species. Congo has one-eighth of the world's forests.1 By protecting them for the sake of the bonobos and chimpanzees and gorillas, we're also protecting the insect, amphibian, reptile, plant, and mammal species that reside there. Benefitted, as well, are the tribes that live within the forests and steward a huge plant biomass that tempers global warming.

I love that Eliot Schrefer devoted so much time to the biology and zoology of the bonobos, determined to get it right for the book. It was certainly worth it! I knew very little about bonobos before reading Endangered, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since I finished reading it. The science and research aspects are so realistic and I imagine they will inspire many readers to learn more about the great apes. Maybe Endangered will even guide some readers into conservation or zoology! How great would that be- students reading about math, science, or engineering and then jumping into a career inspired by that reading!
But even if the reader doesn't become a zoologist or an environmental scientist, Schrefer's book (and the story behind the book) will bring the bonobos to the forefront in many readers' minds. STEM may seem like an overused buzzword, but it is vital that our students understand the world around them. Reading about bonobos, an endangered species, will hopefully inspire our students to protect the world they will one day inherit. And understanding science and conservation is vital to being someone those in charge listen to. As English teachers, we can introduce our students to STEM, compassion, and empathy at the same time.
Be sure to check in next Thursday, when another author will be sharing their experiences with STEM and how it may have influenced their writing!

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was expected to sign a wide-ranging bill that includes sweeping new restrictions on weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines, a response to last year's deadly school shooting in Newtown.
Following a total of more than 13 hours of respectful and at times somber debate, the House of Representatives and the Senate voted in favor of the 139-page bill crafted by leaders from both major parties in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.
The bill passed 26-10 in the Senate and 105-44 in the House. Both were bipartisan votes.
Malloy's office said he would sign the legislation at noon Thursday during a ceremony at the state Capitol.
"I pray today's bill — the most far-reaching gun safety legislation in the country — will prevent other families from ever experiencing the dreadful loss that the 26 Sandy Hook families have felt," said House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, referring to the families of the 20 first graders and six educators killed Dec. 14 inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The December massacre, which reignited a national debate on gun control, set the stage for changes in the state that may have been impossible elsewhere: The governor, who personally informed parents that their children had been killed that day, championed the cause, and legislative leaders, keenly aware of the attention on the state, struck a bipartisan agreement they want to serve as a national model.
The legislation adds more than 100 firearms to the state's assault weapons ban and creates what officials have called the nation's first dangerous weapon offender registry as well as eligibility rules for buying ammunition. Some parts of the bill would take effect immediately after Malloy's signature, including background checks for all firearms sales.
Connecticut will join states including California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts in having the country's strongest gun control laws, said Brian Malte, director of mobilization for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington.
"This would put Connecticut right at the top or near the top of the states with the strongest gun laws," Malte said.
Colorado and New York also passed new gun control requirements in the wake of the Newtown shooting, in which a 20-year-old gunman used a military-style semi-automatic rifle.
Compared with Connecticut's legislation, which, for example, bans the sale or purchase of ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, New York restricted magazines to seven bullets and gave owners of higher-capacity magazines a year to sell them elsewhere. Colorado banned ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
"There are pieces that are stronger in other states, but, in totality, this will be the strongest gun legislation passed in the United States," Betty Gallo, a lobbyist for Connecticut Against Gun Violence, said of the Connecticut bill.
But some lawmakers said they felt the legislation did not do enough to address mental health issues.
Rep. Mitch Bolinsky, a freshman Republican lawmaker from Newtown, acknowledged the legislation "is not perfect" and he hoped would be "a beginning in addressing critical mental health needs."
Rep. Douglas McCrory, D-Hartford, said he felt the bill "doesn't speak to the issue of gun violence that has permeated our cities," adding how families in his district who've lost children to gun violence have not received the same level of attention from state politicians as the Newtown families.
Many legislators spoke of balancing the rights of gun owners with addressing the horror of the Sandy Hook shooting. They've received thousands of emails and phone calls urging them to vote for or against the bill, with veteran Sen. Joan Hartley, a Democrat, saying she's never seen a more polarizing issue at the state Capitol.
But Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, whose district includes Newtown, said he felt he was representing the interests of the Sandy Hook victims as he cast his vote.
"I stand here as their voice, as their elected representative," he said, reciting the names of the 26 victims at the school.
Lawmakers appeared to still be stunned by the enormity of the massacre.
"When a child is sent to school, their parents expect them to be safe. The Sandy Hook shooting rampage was a parent's, a school system's, a community's and the nation's worst nightmare," said Republican state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton.
Gun rights advocates who greatly outnumbered gun control supporters in demonstrations held earlier in the day at the Capitol railed against the proposals as misguided and unconstitutional, occasionally chanting "No! No! No!" and "Read the bill!"
"We want them to write laws that are sensible," said Ron Pariseau, of Pomfret, who was angry he'll be made a felon if he doesn't register his weapons that will no longer be sold in Connecticut. "What they're proposing will not stop anything."
By the time the Senate voted around 6:30 p.m., many of the gun rights advocates had gone home, leaving behind proponents of the bill who applauded when the tally in the Senate was read. The halls were mostly empty by the time the House voted at 2:26 a.m. on Thurdsay.
House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, who helped craft the bill, said he realizes the gun owners are unhappy with the bill, but he stressed that no one will lose their legally owned guns or magazines under the legislation.
"We did our job. We did it together," he said. "We did the best we could and I think we did a good thing."
In the legislature, where Democrats control both houses, leaders waited to unveil gun legislation until they struck a bipartisan deal that they say shows how the parties can work together elsewhere. They touted the package as a comprehensive response to Newtown that also addresses mental health and school security measures, including the creation of a new council to establish school safety standards and the expansion of circumstances when someone's mental history disqualifies him or her from obtaining a gun permit or other gun credentials.
But momentum on federal legislation has stalled in Congress, and President Barack Obama has planned a trip to Connecticut on Monday to step up pressure to pass a bill.
A silent majority in favor of stronger gun control has emerged following the Newtown massacre, Gallo said.
Among the gun control advocates were Dan and Lauren Garrett, of Hamden, wearing green shirts in honor of the Sandy Hook victims. The Garretts traveled to Hartford with their 10-month-old son, Robert, to watch the bill's passage. They said they hope lawmakers will build on the proposal.
"It's just the beginning of this bill. In six months from now, it's going to get stronger and stronger," Dan Garrett said. "I think they're watching us all over the country."

Four pastors also injured in Karnataka, hub of anti-Christian persecution.
NEW DELHI, October 13 (CDN) — Police in a south Indian state known for turning hostile to minority Christians in recent years have arrested two suspected Hindu nationalists for beating four pastors and striking the wife of one of them in the stomach, killing her unborn child.
The attack took place at a Christian gathering in a private Christian school to celebrate the birth of Mahatma Gandhi on Oct. 2 in Chintamani, in Karnataka state's Kolar district, reported the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC).
About 40 people barged into New Public School during the concluding prayer that morning and began selectively beating the pastors and Kejiya Fernandes, wife of one identified only as Pastor Fernandes. Chintamani police arrived but the attack went on, and when it ended at noon officers took the Christians to the station instead of arresting the attackers.
Denied medical attention, the injured Christians were released at 7:30 p.m. only after Kejiya Fernandes began to bleed profusely, GCIC reported. She and her husband later received hospital treatment, where she lost the baby she had been carrying for four months, according to GCIC.
Pastor Fernandes received an injury to his ear. The three other victims, identified only as pastors Robert, Muthu and Kenny, all ministered in a local independent church.
Of the 12 suspects named in the police complaint, two were arrested the same day, and the rest are absconding, said attorney Jeeva Prakash, who is associated with the Evangelical Fellowship of India's (EFI) advocacy department.
The police complaint against the 12 includes "causing death of quick unborn child by act amounting to culpable homicide" (Section 316 of the Indian Penal Code), and "intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace" (Section 504). No charges related to defiling a religious place or gathering or creating communal conflict were included.
All the accused are residents of Chintamani city and suspected to be associated with Hindu nationalist groups.
The attack was reportedly carried out to avenge an alleged insult to Hindu gods during the Christian gathering, with the accused also having filed a police complaint, added Prakash, who visited the area and the Christian victims this week.
The complaint against the Christians was for "deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs" (Section 295-a), and, strangely, Section 324 for "voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means," among other charges.
The Christians were not arrested, as a court granted them anticipatory bail.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, whose birthday the Christians were celebrating, was friends with Christian missionaries during British rule and taught religious tolerance. The acclaimed Hindu, India's greatest political and spiritual leader, was killed in 1948 by Nathuram Godse, who was allegedly influenced by the ideology of the Hindu extremist conglomerate Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
For the last three years, Karnataka has been seen as the hub of Christian persecution in India. Of the more than 152 attacks on Christians in 2009, 86 were reported in Karnataka, according to the EFI.
This year, too, Karnataka is likely to top anti-Christian attacks. According to the GCIC, at least 47 attacks on Christians in the state had been reported as of Sept. 26. Persecution of Christians in Karnataka increased particularly after the August 2008 anti-Christian mayhem in eastern Orissa state, where Maoists killed a Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader but Hindu extremists wrongly blamed it on local Christians.
The attacks in Orissa's Kandhamal district killed more than 100 people and burned 4,640 houses, 252 churches and 13 educational institutions.
While Hindu nationalists had targeted and were working in Karnataka for close to two decades, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to sole power in the state for the first time in the history of independent India in May 2008. Prior to that, the BJP ruled in coalition with a local party, the Janata Dal-Secular, for 20 months.
It is believed that the victory of the BJP – and later the violence in Orissa, which was also ruled by a coalition that included the BJP – emboldened Hindu extremists, who now enjoy greater impunity due to the party's incumbency.
Despite the high incidence of persecution of minorities in Karnataka, BJP leaders deny it, alleging complaint are the result of a political conspiracy of opposition parties.
There are a little more than 1 million Christians in Karnataka, where the total population is more than 52 million, mostly Hindus.
India Briefs: Recent Incidents of Persecution
Karnataka, India, October 13 (Compass Direct News) – Hindu extremists belonging to the Bajrang Dal on Oct. 3 stormed into a Christian worship service, beat those attending and confiscated Bibles in Emarakuntte village, Kolar district. The Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) reported that nearly 25 extremists barged into the house of a Christian identified only as Manjunath, where Pastor Daniel Shankar was leading Sunday worship. Verbally abusing those present and falsely accusing them of forcible conversion, the extremists dragged them out and photographed them. Pastor Shankar managed to escape. Police arrived – after the extremists called them – and confiscated the Bibles and a vehicle belonging to the pastor. A GCIC coordinator told Compass that Shankar, accompanied by area pastors, went to the police station the next day, and officers made him give a written statement that he would stop Christian activities in the village. Only then were the Bibles and vehicle returned. No worship was held on Sunday (Oct. 10).
Karnataka – Police on Sept. 5 detained a pastor after Hindu nationalist extremists registered a false complaint of forcible conversion in Doni village, Gadag district. The Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) reported that at 8:30 p.m. nearly 100 extremists belonging to the Hindu extremist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh stormed the worship of an Indian Pentecostal Church at the home of a Christian identified only as Nagaraj. A GCIC coordinator told Compass that the extremists repeatedly slapped Pastor Mallikarjuna Sangalad, dragged him outside and tore his shirt. They also tore up a few Bibles of those in the congregation. The extremists called Mundargi police, who arrived at the spot and took Pastor Sangalad to the police station as the slogan-shouting extremists followed. Police questioned the pastor for over two hours and warned him against leading services. With GCIC intervention Sangalad was released at around 11 p.m. without being charged, but he was forced to sign a statement that he would not conduct services at Nagaraj's home.
Karnataka – Police on Sept. 3 stopped worship and falsely accused a pastor of forcible conversion, threatening to jail Christians if they continued religious activities in Ganeshgudi village. A Global Council of Indian Christians coordinator told Compass that Ramnagar police Sub-Inspector Babu Madhar, acting on an anonymous accusation of forcible conversion, disrupted worship and threatened Calvary Fellowship Prayer Centre Pastor P.R. Jose as nearly 40 congregants of the house church looked on. The sub-inspector warned the Christians against worshipping there and told Pastor Jose to shut down the church or be arrested. On Sept. 4, however, Madhar returned to the house and informed Pastor Jose that they could continue worship services.

On October 24, the country of Georgia took an unusual step: it posted to the Web a 27-page writeup (PDF), in English, on how it has been under assault from a hacker allegedly based in Russia. The paper included details of the malware used, how it spread, and how it was controlled. Even more unusually, the Georgians released pictures of the alleged hacker—taken with his own webcam after the Georgians hacked the hacker with the help of the FBI and others.
The story itself, which we covered briefly earlier this week, is fascinating, though it remains hard to authenticate and is relayed in a non-native English that makes for some tough reading. But what caught my eye about the whole cloak-and-dagger tale is the broader points it makes about hacking, jurisdiction, and the powerful surveillance devices that our computers have become.
It's also an example of how hacks and the alleged hackers behind them today play an increasing role in upping geopolitical suspicions between countries already wary of one another. Georgia and Russia have of course been at odds for years, and their conflict came to a head in a brief 2008 war; Russia still maintains a military presence in two tiny breakaway enclaves that Georgia claims as its own.
But first, the backstory.
Targeted strike
The attack itself was highly targeted. The hacker behind it began by infiltrating various news sites within Georgia, then modified only specific pages within those sites most likely to cover topics like NATO, the Georgian military, and US-Georgia relations. These modified pages included a "script" tag in their HTML code which pointed to a remote IP address serving up the inconspicuously named "frame.php." Anyone visiting the page would automatically have their Web browser execute the script, which served up a crypted version of the malware installation tool TrojanDownloader:JS/SetSlice. The code used known vulnerabilities in Windows to instigate a "drive-by download" in which a user's browser would download and execute a file called "calc.exe" without throwing up an alert.
Instead of launching a calculator, calc.exe scanned the computer it was on to see if it was located in the UTC+3 or UTC+4 time zones, which includes Eastern Europe all the way to Moscow. The malware would only install on computers within those regions (though this restriction was lifted in later versions). Calc.exe then injected itself into explorer.exe and also created a file called usbserv.exe—the actual malware—and wrote that filename into the Windows registry so that it would autorun. Usbserv.exe then ran in the background, performing one basic task: scanning all Word, PDF, Excel, text, rich text format, and PowerPoint files for a list of keywords that included items like "NATO." Such files were copied and uploaded to command and control servers, where they were retrieved by parties unknown and then deleted.
The result was a specific strike, hitting only those machines which revealed a user's interest in news about issues related to the Georgian military, which used the Georgian language, and which were in the region. Over the course of a year, the malware only infected 390 computers, 70 percent of which were in Georgia. The majority of these were in government ministries, parliament, and banks.
The malware activity was first noticed in March 2011 by Georgia's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), which was modeled on similar teams in the US (and is now replicated in places like the Ukraine, Poland, and Germany). After figuring out how the malware worked, Georgia contacted the three main Internet providers in the country and had them block access to the command-and-control servers for the malicious code (these had been written into the malware's binary file and pointed to machines scattered across the US, Georgia, France, Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic; fallback mechanisms kept these blocks from being wholly effective, however).
The virus author tweaked his creation throughout 2011 to evade countermeasures. By September, the malware had a new infection mechanism and new tools for bypassing antivirus scanners and firewalls. By November, the malware had become more heavily encrypted and could infect Windows 7 as well. By December, it added the capability to record video from a user's screen, webcam, or microphone, and it could spread to other machines on the same network.
The malware even had its own API. According to security firm ESET, which looked at the software earlier this year, the API accepted 19 simple commands, including:
find [PATTERN]: Find file names containing the pattern
dir [FOLDER]: Directory listing of a folder
load [URL]: Download the specified executable and add it to autorun
upload [PATH]: Upload the specified file to the C&C
ddos [DOMAIN]: Start a DDoS against a domain
word [KEYWORDS]: Find Word documents containing one of the keywords
photo: Take screenshots of the computer desktop
audio: Capture audio from microphone
video: Capture video from webcam
passwords: Steal browser passwords (Internet Explorer, Opera)
ESET also gained access to the malware's command console; when it did so, the malware was currently scanning for these search terms, in English:
[ministr service secret Russia Geo Euro weapon USA
Americ top colonel major serg soldie contact telephone
Cauca FBI CIA FSB KGB army name surname important]
After the discovery, CERT-GOV-GE (Georgia's CERT designation) worked with the FBI, US-CERT, and regional CERTs to identify all infected machines and to notify their owners. It also worked with security firms and with Microsoft to update malware scanners, and it went to the hosting companies which owned the main command-and-control servers and had those servers shut down. But beyond this, CERT-GOV-GE wanted to know who was responsible—and the group's suspicion focused on Russia. But how to get proof? CERT decided to hack the hacker.
The tables turn
CERT-GOV-GE had an infected computer in its lab, which it seeded with a .ZIP archive containing a file called "Georgian-NATO agreement." This was exactly the sort of thing likely to get exfiltrated by the malware, and it didn't take long before the file was winging its way through the tubes to one of the still-operating fallback command-and-control servers in Russia. The "Georgian-NATO Agreement" was, of course, a virus—the nature of which Georgia does not specify. But the hope was that the hacker would open the file to see if it was genuine, and when he did so, the virus would infect him and provide CERT-GOV-GE with direct access to his machine.

Great value for midsize SUV
By Mcb345 on Tuesday, January 02, 2018Its not quite a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc in terms of driving dynamics or interior finishing, but then again its not quite Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, etc. What it does is straddle the difference between these cars and it does it for a great value. Tech Package AWD is the best bang for your buck although with the 2017 and 2018 including all the safety features standard along with Car Play (2018), a 46k AWD base model is a fantastic value! For 50k you get AWD Tech with most of the bells and whistles. Compared to similarly equipped luxury suvs its WAY cheaper. Drives very well, not too sporty but good enough for a kid hauling / semi sporty SUV. You wont be driving this like a Porches Cayenne so dont be confused, its not that kind of SUV but to take a corner a little faster than usual or flooring it on the on-ramp it puts a little smile on your face. Again, the value is key with this car. Interior quality is very good, the car looks pretty nice on the outside too. Finishes are nice looking, not Audi A7 nice but again, much much cheaper with equipped with similar options. 9 speed transmission is slow and cumbersome and somewhat encourages mundane driving but hit the sport button and all that changes. I wish the 7 speed dual clutch in the Hybrid was available in the non-hybrid model for more fun driving but beggers cant be choosers! For a safe, kid hauling / comfortable semi-sporty SUV, this hits the nail on the head. Yeah Id rather be driving a fully equipped Audi A7, but for 70k+, no thanks.

Great vehicle, except for internal functions
By Beau on Thursday, March 11, 2021This Acura MDX is great. Ride, performance, looks, etc. are great. The only negative is the internal functions. Using the buttons, switches, etc to turn certain functions is difficult to figure out how to use, to say nothing about setting them while driving. Wipers, speed control, air conditioning etc are some of the functions. Basically all the them

More than two years after unknown hackers gained unfettered access over multiple computers used to maintain and distribute the Linux operating system kernel, officials still haven't released a promised autopsy about what happened.
The compromise, which began no later than August 12, 2011, wasn't detected for at least 16 days, a public e-mail and interviews immediately following the intrusion revealed. During that time, attackers were able to monitor the activities of anyone using the kernel.org servers known as Hera and Odin1, as well as personal computers belonging to senior Linux developer H. Peter Anvin. The self-injecting rootkit known as Phalanx had access to a wealth of sensitive data, possibly including private keys used to sign and decrypt e-mails and remotely log in to servers. A follow-up advisory a few weeks later opened the possibility that still other developers may have fallen prey to the attackers.
For three weeks in September and early October, officials kept kernel.org closed so the servers that run it could be rebuilt. When the site reopened on October 4, a message on the front page prominently warned of the breach and noted the steps taken to rebuild the site. "Thanks to all for your patience and understanding during our outage and please bear with us as we bring up the different kernel.org systems over the next few weeks," the message concluded. "We will be writing up a report on the incident in the future."
Almost two years later, the report has yet to be delivered. The promise to deliver an incident report remained on kernel.org as recently as March 1 of this year, before being quietly pulled the following day. To this day, officials have yet to provide key details, including exactly how many machines were compromised, how the attackers were able to gain root access to them, and what they did once they seized control. The delay contrasts sharply with autopsies that were delivered promptly following two similar compromises of Apache.org, the official distributor of the open-source Apache Web server.
"As a user, I think everyone should be a little bit disappointed they didn't execute that transparency in a follow-up," Dan Rosenberg, a senior security researcher at Azimuth Security, told Ars. Without a thorough autopsy, "it's hard to really know what level of negligence was involved in the compromise."
Linux developer and maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman told Ars that the investigation has yet to be completed and gave no timetable for when a report might be released. He said officials remain confident of preliminary findings that the attackers were not able to tamper with the source code that millions of organizations use to compile their Linux systems.
"We went through many rounds of validation of the kernel releases on the site, regenerating them from the Git tree and old backups," he wrote in an e-mail. "All of them were fine, nothing was found to be tampered with or touched at all."
Git is the name of the system that tracks changes made to the source code for the Linux kernel. It uses a series of 160-bit cryptographic hashes to account for the revisions. Copies of the repository and all changes are then cached in thousands of locations around the world. A mismatched hash in one or more location would quickly indicate unofficial changes. Kroah-Hartman also told Ars kernel.org systems were rebuilt from scratch following the attack. Officials have developed new tools and procedures since then, but he declined to say what they are.
"There will be a report later this year about site [sic] has been engineered, but don't quote me on when it will be released as I am not responsible for it," he wrote.
While there's no evidence that backdoors or other malicious code were surreptitiously inserted, the 2011 breach of one of the world's most important software development organizations should nonetheless remain a concern. That's especially true now that we're living in an era where actors of powerful nation-states have been known to hijack Microsoft's official Windows update mechanism and deliberately weaken cryptographic coding standards. Transparency is more important than ever. If Linux maintainers expect trust, they should make good on their promise to tell users precisely what happened and how.

On may 29 1983, Indy racing great Tom Sneva won his first and only 500 of his career. The next day, at a hospital down the street from the great Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I was born. My earliest memories of life, as any kid would say, were my birthday celebrations. Having the birthday I did, they always involved the great race somehow. When I was young, we would just have a small party and listen to the race. As my family got older we would make a camping trip, so we could watch the race live on TV, out of the three day weekend that memorial day gave us. Some years were fantastic, some were wet and dreary, but these trips linked my life with the Indy 500 forever. My mother laminated the front page of the indianapolis star on the day I was born and it was an article about Snevas win the previous day. Reading that article every day for years to come started what would become a life-long love affair with motorsports and the spectacle of IndyCar racing and the 500.
As I got into high school there became less time each year to pay attention to the race. Life, high school love, growing up and unfortunatly the infamous split all detracted the visibility of it in my life. Going to college I met one of my now very close friends. He was Will from North Carolina who had gone to the race every year since he was like 2 years old. We immediately hit it off and it sparked renewed interest the world of motor sports as a whole. That, and having my wisdom teeth pulled earlier that summer and spending two straight weeks playing Gran Turismo 3 on the playstation 2.
We have made a week to camp in the coke lot and enjoy the festivities of race weekend in Indianapolis every year. When we first started 10 years ago, we were guests of Wills family, now we have created our own traditions and friends from all over the country meet in Indy for one weekend a year to catch up, enjoy the race and of course celebrate my birthday each year with 300,000 of my closest friends.
I am by no means a writer, so if high quality writing is what your looking for, this is not it. These pages will contain my musings on Indycar news, technology, gossip and anything else motorsports related I see fit to include. Posts may come quickly some weeks, and slowly other months but I will always have something to say.
Thanks for reading, hope to see more of you

The Washington Nationals racing presidents will participate in Saturday's Cupid's Undie Run, reports The Hill.
The event is held annually on Valentine's Day weekend, and raises money for The Children's Tumor Foundation.
Participants volunteer to strip down to their underwear and run 1.5 miles in usually-freezing cold weather, though this year's participants are relatively lucky. The forecast for race time is a balmy 44 degrees.
The race is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm from Pour House at 319 Pennsylvania Avenue SE and head towards Independence Avenue, then up 1st St SE. Spectators are welcome.

(ARA) - Do you have a balloon mortgage that is coming due or an adjustable rate mortgage payment that has been steadily creeping up as interest rates change? Or perhaps you've had an unexpected financial hit such as a large hospital bill or a job loss that has made your current mortgage payments unreasonable. If so, refinancing your mortgage can be a great way to save money every month.
Refinancing your mortgage also lets you consolidate other debt, such as credit card balances, into one low-interest loan. You may also want to consider converting some of the equity in your home to cash to use for large expenses such as college tuition or home improvement.
Online services like Bills.com make it easier than ever to find the best deal on refinancing your home. With a couple clicks of the mouse, you'll receive quotes from up to four lenders so you can choose the best deal for your situation.
Before you refinance, ask yourself the following questions:
* How long will I be in my house? If you're planning to move soon, it may not make sense to refinance. Calculate how much you would save monthly, and then compare that number to the costs of refinancing to make your decision. You can find a number of refinance calculators on the Internet, including at Bills.com.
* Can I afford to cash out equity in my home? Paying college tuition is a good use of your home equity. Taking the value out of your home to take the family to Disney World may be fun, but in the long run, not wise. Just remember how long it took you to build up that equity.
* Can I change my habits? Using a home refinancing to consolidate debt can be a good idea - but only if you don't revert to your old behavior. Clearing your credit card debt and then starting the cycle of maxing them out again means you'll end up back at the same spot. If you are consolidating debt, cut up your credit cards or resolve to pay them off in full each month.
When you're ready to refinance, Bills.com makes it simple. Just fill out the short information form on the Web site, hit submit and up to four lenders will make you an offer. The site only asks for non-sensitive information such as the current value of your home, whether you're employed, if you've ever declared bankruptcy. You will not be required to supply personal information such as a Social Security number until you get further into the process.
Visit Bills.com to find out more about refinancing your mortgage, or to get bids from up to four lenders.

Theodor de Bry's America
These detailed copper plate engravings depict the arrival of the Spaniards in the New World and their encounters with native peoples. They are taken from the sixteenth century book Americae, volume IV of Theodor de Bry's Grandes Voyages series, a collection which gave many Europeans their first visual representations of North America.
The engravings highlight not only the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the West Indies, but atrocities perpetrated by the Spanish on the Native Americans. Plates show the Spaniards hanging the Native Americans on board a ship, throwing them to the dogs, and attacking them with swords and muskets. Other plates depict the Native Americans pouring molten gold down the Spaniards' throats, and drowning one of the Spaniards in the sea. Because De Bry had never seen any Native Americans, he made them resemble idealized Greco-Roman figures.
Theodor de Bry was born in 1528 in Liège, Belgium, where he trained as a goldsmith and engraver. He fled Liège around 1570 to avoid persecution by Catholics, eventually settling in Frankfurt. He began working on the multi-volume Grandes Voyages in 1590, and completed the first six volumes before his death in 1598. The books were published in both German and Latin. His wife and son carried on the project, releasing twenty-one more volumes through the year 1634. Americae, volume IV was based on Giralamo Benzoni's eyewitness travel account Historia del Mondo Nuovo, and most of its engravings were based on earlier illustrations by Johannes Stradanus.
The University of Houston Libraries' copy of Americae, volume IV is a first edition printed in German, with the exception of the title page which comes from a first edition printed in Latin. This copy is missing plates 2, 3, 19, 21, and 23, as well as its original map of the West Indies and adjacent coasts. The Libraries would like to thank Valeria Nardi for her translation of the book's title page.
The original materials are available in UH Libraries' Special Collections in Americae pars quarta, sive, Insignis & admiranda historia de reperta primùm Occidentalis India à Christophoro Columbo anno M. CCCCXCII.

Patrick's strange pick
I'm out of town on some family business, and unable to do a lot of blogging, but I wanted to weigh in on Deval Patrick's choice for interim senator. I don't often disagree with Patrick, but this decision baffles me.
This is not a ceremonial appointment. Issues of huge importance are coming before the Senate between now and the June 25 special election. Massachusetts should send a player to the Senate to replace John Kerry, not just someone to warm the seat. I understand that whoever got the job would follow the leads of Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Joe Biden in the critical votes to come, and that some of Kerry's staff would stay on to take care of routine business. But still…
I don't know Mo Cowan, and I'm happy to assume he's a good guy and a smart man. But we'd all be better served by someone with recent experience in Congress, not someone who has spent the last few years immersed in state issues on Beacon Hill. Barney Frank, who I favored, could have hit the ground running. He's already an expert in the federal budget, a skilled hand in parliamentary procedures with personal relations on both sides of the Capitol. I hope Deval didn't reject Barney because he campaigned for the job. I'd rather think that some of the big egos in the Senate (or the White House) saw him as a potential bull in the china shop who might get in the way of their delicate strategizing.
Fair enough. But what about John Olver, who also just retired from the House? What about Cam Kerry, John's brother, who works in the Commerce Dept., or Melody Barnes, former top aide to Ted Kennedy who ran Obama's domestic policy operation? Both may have residency problems, but surely there are others who would fit the profile of inside players who know their way around Washington, just as Paul Kirk, our last interim senator did. For that matter, why not bring back Kirk?
Because nobody knows much about him, much is being made of the fact Cowan is black, making him the second African-American in the Senate and the second African-American senator from Massachusetts. Who cares? There is work to be done.

FreeBSD Manual Pages
EXPORTS(5) BSD File Formats Manual EXPORTS(5) NAME exports -- define remote mount points for NFS mount requests SYNOPSIS exports DESCRIPTION The exports file specifies remote mount points for the NFS mount protocol per the NFS server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Specification, Appendix I. Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #) specifies the mount point(s) and export flags within one local server file system for one or more hosts. A long line may be split over several lines by ending all but the last line with a backslash (`\'). A host may be specified only once for each local file system on the server and there may be only one default entry for each server file system that applies to all other hosts. The latter exports the file system to the ``world'' and should be used only when the file system contains public information. In a mount entry, the first field(s) specify the directory path(s) within a server file system that can be mounted on by the corresponding client(s). There are two forms of this specification. The first is to list all mount points as absolute directory paths separated by white- space. The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the file system followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount at any point within the file system, including regular files if the -r option is used on mountd(8). The pathnames must not have any symbolic links in them and should not have any "." or ".." components. Mount points for a file system may appear on multiple lines each with different sets of hosts and export options. The second component of a line specifies how the file system is to be ex- ported to the host set. The option flags specify whether the file system is exported read-only or read-write and how the client uid is mapped to user credentials on the server. Export options are specified as follows: -maproot=user The credential of the specified user is used for remote ac- cess by root. The credential includes all the groups to which the user is a member on the local machine (see id(1)). The user may be specified by name or number. -maproot=user:group1:group2:... The colon separated list is used to spec- ify the precise credential to be used for remote access by root. The el- ements of the list may be either names or numbers. Note that user: should be used to distinguish a credential containing no groups from a complete credential for that user. -mapall=user or -mapall=user:group1:group2:... specifies a mapping for all client uids (including root) using the same semantics as -maproot. The option -r is a synonym for -maproot in an effort to be backward com- patible with older export file formats. In the absence of -maproot and -mapall options, remote accesses by root will result in using a credential of -2:-2. All other users will be mapped to their remote credential. If a -maproot option is given, remote access by root will be mapped to that credential instead of -2:-2. If a -mapall option is given, all users (including root) will be mapped to that credential in place of their own. The -ro option specifies that the file system should be exported read- only (default read/write). The option -o is a synonym for -ro in an ef- fort to be backward compatible with older export file formats. WebNFS exports strictly according to the spec (RFC 2054 and RFC 2055) can be done with the -public flag. However, this flag in itself allows r/w access to all files in the file system, not requiring reserved ports and not remapping uids. It is only provided to conform to the spec, and should normally not be used. For a WebNFS export, use the -webnfs flag, which implies -public, -mapall=nobody and -ro. Note that only one file system can be WebNFS exported on a server. A -index=file option can be used to specify a file whose handle will be returned if a directory is looked up using the public filehandle (WebNFS). This is to mimic the behavior of URLs. If no -index option is specified, a directory filehandle will be returned as usual. The -index option only makes sense in combination with the -public or -webnfs flags. Specifying the -quiet option will inhibit some of the syslog diagnostics for bad lines in /etc/exports. This can be useful to avoid annoying er- ror messages for known possible problems (see EXAMPLES below). The third component of a line specifies the host set to which the line applies. The set may be specified in three ways. The first way is to list the host name(s) separated by white space. (Standard Internet ``dot'' addresses may be used in place of names.) The second way is to specify a ``netgroup'' as defined in the netgroup file (see netgroup(5)). The third way is to specify an Internet subnetwork using a network and network mask that is defined as the set of all hosts with addresses within the subnetwork. This latter approach requires less overhead within the kernel and is recommended for cases where the export line refers to a large number of clients within an administrative subnet. The first two cases are specified by simply listing the name(s) separated by whitespace. All names are checked to see if they are ``netgroup'' names first and are assumed to be hostnames otherwise. Using the full domain specification for a hostname can normally circumvent the problem of a host that has the same name as a netgroup. The third case is speci- fied by the flag -network=netname and optionally -mask=netmask. If the mask is not specified, it will default to the mask for that network class (A, B or C; see inet(4)). See the EXAMPLES section below. The mountd(8) utility can be made to re-read the exports file by sending it a hangup signal as follows: kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` After sending the SIGHUP, check the syslogd(8) output to see whether mountd(8) logged any parsing errors in the exports file. FILES /etc/exports the default remote mount-point file EXAMPLES /usr /usr/local -maproot=0:10 friends /usr -maproot=daemon grumpy.cis.uoguelph.ca 22.214.171.124 /usr -ro -mapall=nobody /u -maproot=bin: -network 131.104.48 -mask 255.255.255.0 /u2 -maproot=root friends /u2 -alldirs -network cis-net -mask cis-mask /cdrom -alldirs,quiet,ro -network 192.168.33.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Given that /usr, /u and /u2 are local file system mount points, the above example specifies the following: /usr is exported to hosts friends where friends is specified in the net- group file with users mapped to their remote credentials and root mapped to uid 0 and group 10. It is exported read-write and the hosts in ``friends'' can mount either /usr or /usr/local. It is exported to 188.8.131.52 and grumpy.cis.uoguelph.ca with users mapped to their re- mote credentials and root mapped to the user and groups associated with ``daemon''; it is exported to the rest of the world as read-only with all users mapped to the user and groups associated with ``nobody''. /u is exported to all hosts on the subnetwork 131.104.48 with root mapped to the uid for ``bin'' and with no group access. /u2 is exported to the hosts in ``friends'' with root mapped to uid and groups associated with ``root''; it is exported to all hosts on network ``cis-net'' allowing mounts at any directory within /u2. The file system rooted at /cdrom will exported read-only to the entire network 192.168.33.0/24, including all its subdirectories. Since /cdrom is the conventional mountpoint for a CD-ROM device, this export will fail if no CD-ROM medium is currently mounted there since that line would then attempt to export a subdirectory of the root file system with the -alldirs option which is not allowed. The -quiet option will then sup- press the error message for this condition that would normally be sys- logged. As soon as an actual CD-ROM is going to be mounted, mount(8) will notify mountd(8) about this situation, and the /cdrom file system will be exported as intended. Note that without using the -alldirs op- tion, the export would always succeed. While there is no CD-ROM medium mounted under /cdrom, it would export the (normally empty) directory /cdrom of the root file system instead. SEE ALSO netgroup(5), mountd(8), nfsd(8), showmount(8) BUGS The export options are tied to the local mount points in the kernel and must be non-contradictory for any exported subdirectory of the local server mount point. It is recommended that all exported directories within the same server file system be specified on adjacent lines going down the tree. You cannot specify a hostname that is also the name of a netgroup. Specifying the full domain specification for a hostname can normally circumvent the problem. BSD March 29, 1995 BSD

I like egg salad, it is one of my favorite breakfast foods, and even part of a fast lunch. When I came to these shores in 1962, I soon learned to enjoy it with mayonnaise as opposed to my mother's spartan combination of chopped hard boiled eggs with small amounts of salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil. Egg salad comes in many variations, but, David Lebovitz' recipe is superb:
Egg Salad
Enough for 2 or 3 sandwiches
My uncle once told me a funny story: about forty years ago, he once set out to make a recipe that called for capers and he thought that he would use fresh, rather than something from a jar. He looked and looked and looked and couldn't find fresh. He could only find the pickled ones, which he later realized were how capers were prepared and sold. And now, every time I open a jar I think of his story. I like a little bit of chopped capers in my egg salad, or something a bit vinegary. You could also use some chopped cornichons or pickles – and their juice – in place of the capers.
You can use any kind of pepper powder that you want. Note that if you use a red one, it will turn the color of the egg salad a somewhat fiery shade of red.
6 hard-boiled eggs
1/3 (70g) cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (drained) capers, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons caper juice
3/4 teaspoon pepper, such as Isot (Urfa), black pepper or red pepper powder
sea salt
optional: 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- Peel the eggs and chop them into pieces.
- Mix the eggs in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, capers, caper juice, pepper, and a good sprinkle salt. If desired, add the sunflower seeds.
To serve, spread on toasted grainy bread, then garnish with additional salt, pepper, and some chopped chives.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!
