Agreed. She’s barely worn the bikini so far in my run (but she will sometimes…).

After the recent Windows 8 leak by recently arrrested then-Microsoft employee Alex Kibkalo, Microsoft has tweaked its privacy policies, but also defended reading the email of the French blogger to whom Kibkalo sent the software. "The blogger in question, who remains unidentified, happened to use Hotmail—the investigation began in 2012 before Hotmail's Outlook.com transition—as his primary email account. So as part of its investigation, Microsoft peeked into the blogger's email account to read that person's correspondence with Kibkalo. ... Microsoft says it was justified in searching the blogger's email account, because it had probable cause to believe Kibkalo was funneling trade secrets to the blogger.The company also pointed out that even with its justification for searching the account, it would have been impossible to gain a court order." "The legal system wouldn't have let us" seems a strange argument to defend any act of snooping.

msm1267 (2804139) writes "The first deep look into the security of the Android patch installation process, specifically its Package Management Service (PMS), has revealed a weakness that puts potentially every Android device at risk for privilege escalation attacks. Researchers from Indiana University and Microsoft published a paper that describes a new set of Android vulnerabilities they call Pileup flaws, and also introduces a new scanner called SecUP that detects malicious apps already on a device lying in wait for elevated privileges. The vulnerability occurs in the way PMS handles updates to the myriad flavors of Android in circulation today. The researchers say PMS improperly vets apps on lower versions of Android that request OS or app privileges that may not exist on the older Android version, but are granted automatically once the system is updated. The researchers said they found a half-dozen different Pileup flaws within Android's Package Management Service, and confirmed those vulnerabilities are present in all Android Open Source Project versions and more than 3,500 customized versions of Android developed by handset makers and carriers; more than one billion Android devices are likely impacted, they said." Handily enough, the original paper is not paywalled.

So I’m reading the article and then this:

For example, there is the tale of a maiden who escapes a witch by transforming herself into a pond. The witch then lies on her stomach and drinks all the water, swallowing the young girl, who uses a knife to cut her way out of the witch.

From Drinks

Just one bottle on the liquor shelf? Don't worry, you can still make these 15 cocktails. [Photo: Maggie Hoffman]

There are a number of ways to stock a bar: you can go out and buy one of everything (not really recommended), you can go out and buy what you need for your one or two favorite cocktails (better), or you can wait and hope that a well stocked bar magically appears in your living room (and actually end up just drinking whatever is left over from your housewarming party six months ago). If you've tended toward the last method, your bar might be looking a little bleak. But if you've got just one bottle, you can make drinks.

Today, we'll focus on the cocktails you can make with a bottle of gin. You don't need liqueurs, vermouth, or any other spirits. The rest of the ingredients can be gathered at your local grocery store or farmers' market—this list should be handy as warm-weather produce starts appearing again, but there's plenty to get you started even if you can still see snow out your window.

Some of these cocktails call for a specific type of gin—the cucumbery, floral Hendrick's, for example, or robustly juniper-flavored London Dry—and those gins will make delicious versions of these drinks. But the world won't end if you swap 'em for whatever you have on hand.

Let's get to drinking! We've left out the gin and tonic—you guys can figure out how to make that one, right?

Gin Rickey

You might be a frequent G&T sipper, but it's easy to forget about that highball's cousin, the Gin Rickey. This refreshing drink which was invented to combat a brutal heatwave in Washington D.C. is made with gin, fresh lime juice, and chilled club soda instead of tonic.

Southside

This is one of my all-time favorite gin drinks, and it's only slightly more complicated than the rickey above. Here, gin is mixed with lime and lemon juice, and shaken with mint leaves for super-fresh flavor. It gets just a little club soda on top, so it's a bit more full-flavored, like a gin-spiked lemonade with a blast of mint.

Pomelo and Basil Cocktail

There's more than just lemon, lime, and grapefruit when it comes to citrus for cocktails. Gin is especially friendly to the whole range, as demonstrated in this simple drink made with gin and pomelo juice. (Not sure how to recognize pomelos? They look a bit like monster grapefruits, and have a super-thick pity rind and sweet-tart juice that's quite fragrant and a bit less bitter than grapefruit.) Basil adds a bit of extra flavor to the simple syrup that sweetens this drink.

The Hot and Cold

This rosy-colored hot toddy gets its hue from an easy syrup made by cooking cranberries with sugar and water. Fresh mint adds aroma and lemon brings it all together. If you've never tried a gin hot toddy, we highly recommend you get on it before the weather gets too balmy.

Bee's Knees

Just because there's honey in this one doesn't mean it's sweet: tart lemon and pungent gin make for a serious cocktail, despite the cute name. This easy drink dates back to the Prohibition days, but you can make a great version if you don't use gin made in your bathtub.

Gin-Gin Mule

This simple fizzy drink invented by Pegu Club owner Audrey Saunders gets its spicy kick from ginger beer—we like Blenheim, Reed's Premium, and Fentimans, though you can pick up whatever your local store has and adjust the recipe a bit depending on the soda's sweetness. Beyond that, you should pick up a lime and some fresh mint and make sure you have sugar on hand.

Cucumber Gimlet

Cucumbers and gin are lovely together; the cool vegetable extending the delicate herbal side of the spirit. Here, they're mixed with lime and piney rosemary to complete a drink that's reminiscent of the spa, but spiked.

Salty Dawg

If you like your drinks on the tart side, you might want to trade in your mimosa for a grapefruit-based brunch drink like this variation on a Salty Dog. We make it with gin and a bit of tart lime for extra brightness. A pinch of Maldon salt gives pops of flavor throughout the drink.

Buttermilk Maple Gin Flip

Anyone who bakes is likely to end up with leftover buttermilk in the fridge. And you can use it to keep baking, but when the day is done, it's handy to know that you can also put that carton of buttermilk to work in a frothy cocktail made with gin and sweetened with rich, dark maple syrup.

Passionfruit Mint Cocktail

If you find yourself drawn to exotic fruit, but you're not really sure what to do with it once you've brought home a bag full, you're not alone. Here's an easy use for passionfruit that brings out its musky-tart flavor. A little honey sweetens things up.

Sour Cherry Gin Cocktail

Sour cherry season is sadly short, so you'll want to pack in all the cherries you can handle: in pies, in tarts, in jam, sorbet, and cake. But put this easy cocktail on your list, too: it's a wonderful sweet-tart mix of piquant cherries and lemon, rounded out with the botanicals from the gin.

Kiwi Cooler

Herbs come in handy when you're mixing single-bottle drinks—when you can't call on absinthe or Green Chartreuse, the anisey flavor of tarragon is a lovely fresh substitute. Here it works well to bring out the botanical side gin and the sweet flavor of a muddled kiwi.

The Hot Pink

If you're feeling bored with your go-to gin drinks, consider venturing over to the savory side. This cocktail requires a little prep, but still just one bottle of booze. It's made with vinegar, just like the shrubs of the colonial era. Celery, beets, and horseradish flavor a tangy, earthy syrup that's wonderful with herbal gin and a splash of seltzer.

Rhubarb Sparkler

It's a little tricky to get raw rhubarb's flavor into a cocktail, but you can capture the season by cooking up a quick rhubarb syrup. It's great in seltzer or even mixed with beer, but if you want to make a gin drink, follow these guidelines for a cocktail that perfectly balances tart, sweet, and boozy.

Got a bottle of bubbly? Great! Then you can also make this:

French 75

Ok, ok, this one takes two bottles, but if have some Cava sitting around, this is a classic cocktail you should definitely try. It's herbal, tart, fresh, and festive, easy to make and delicious to drink. As long as you have bubbly, gin, a lemon, and sugar, you're good to go.

this is not to say haters, as they are traditionally defined, don’t exist! there is energy and action in hate, there is a sense of power. i know people who hate things because it’s fun to hate them. i’ve also indulged in this. there are people who live to be cruel, because they are powerless in every other area of their life.

but the other side of the coin is to disregard all negativity as hate. and i have always thought negativity was allowed to be part of the conversation — depending on how it’s expressed. this is why i love parody and satire. good satire destroys its target from within — and the only way it got inside is because its originator loved the thing they took apart. it demands self-reflection, which is always useful. no one is immune to it. and something stronger and more bulletproof can emerge.

it’s too easy to discount detractors as haters, or just jealous. it is really, really hard to read negative comments. a single one can obliterate 100 positive ones. but amid the hate, maybe someone has a good point. you have to wade through it from time to time. it can keep you humble.
