Can Chris Christie Get His ‘Mojo’ Back?
It looks like New Jersey is losing patience with its troubled governor.
Chris Christie would dearly love to get his mojo back—his carefully crafted image as a swaggering, no-nonsense New Jersey tough guy. Since the eruption of Bridgegate, the Hoboken Sandy aid controversy and the nested scandals around the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and its self-dealing chairman, David Samson, however, Christie has not been his old self.
When he travels, for instance, he stays out of the limelight and avoids the press, even while raising millions of dollars for the Republican Governors Association (RGA) behind the scenes. Since the marathon, nearly two-hour news conference on January 9, held to defend himself in the Bridgegate crisis, Christie has not spoken to the media—a period of more than nine weeks and counting. During his latest foray for the RGA, to Georgia last week, he was almost invisible. Though he was scheduled to have appeared at a fundraiser for Governor Nathan Deal and then speak at a forum organized by the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, his trip garnered zero press, either in Georgia newspapers or in the increasingly skeptical New Jersey media. CNN, based in Atlanta, confirmed Christie’s trip, but had no details of what he said, what he did or what happened. And CNN added, “Christie will go to the American Enterprise Institute’s World Forum in Sea Island.” The forum is a regular AEI event, but there’s not a word about Christie’s appearance on the AEI website. The Republican Governors Association had nothing to say about Christie’s excursion to Georgia either.
None of the activists was able to ask a question.… While Christie fielded questions from a group of parents upset about a Burlington County charter school being closed and a woman who asked why the governor didn’t use federal funds to promote health care available to New Jersey residents, he managed to go without calling on the dozens of affordable housing advocates, environmentalists and union-backed New Jersey Working Families Alliance supporters in the room.
Still, the fact that protesters and anti-Christie activists, along with ordinary citizens who aren’t Christie acolytes, have begun showing up in large numbers at the governor’s town halls is a significant change from the first such meeting this year, after Bridgegate, when Christie went unchallenged at a town hall event in Port Monmouth.
But when Christie traveled to a town hall in Mount Laurel, a town that gave him 65 percent of its vote last year but has shown it is willing to vote Democratic, his warm welcome went cold, at least for a few minutes. Half a dozen hecklers interrupted questions, shouting at Christie for hiring “crooks” and “liars” and for what they say has been the unfair distribution of Superstorm Sandy aid.
The crowd, which also featured two groups of silent protesters holding signs against fracking, booed when the hecklers shouted and cheered when they were escorted away.
That may embolden other groups to raise their voices at future town halls, Murray said. Christie is scheduled to appear next week in South River, where he won re-election by a much slimmer margin—58 percent—than he did in the locations for the previous four town halls.
“He’s getting close to Democratic territory now,” Murray said.
On Tuesday, Christie will make his 114th appearance at a town hall event in South River, New Jersey, and Christie Watch will be there to provide a full report.

Nevada is a state located in the western United States. The population as of July 2004 was estimated to be 2,334,771, up nearly 17% from the 2000 census figure of 1,998,257. Nevada is the fastest growing state in the country. Between 2000 and 2003, Nevada's population increased 12.2%, while the USA's population increased 3.3%. Between 1990 and 2000, Nevada's population increased 66.3%, while the USA's population increased 13.1%.
Nevada's nickname is "The Silver State," and the state's motto is "All for Our Country." "Home Means Nevada" by Bertha Rafetto is the state song. The phrase "Battle Born" is on the state flag; "The Battle Born State" is the official state slogan, as Nevada was admitted into the union during the American Civil War.
Despite the name's derivation from the Spanish word nevada meaning "snowy," the local pronunciation of the state's name is not "Ne-vah-da"; the middle syllable has a short a sound as in cat or hat. (Residents often regard the pronunciation as a test of whether visitors such as presidential candidates, have informed themselves about the state.) In 2005, the state issued a new series of license plates that list the name of the state as Nevada to help with the pronunciation problem.
Several United States Navy ships have been named USS Nevada in honor of the state.
State motto: "All for our country"
Nevada has borders with Oregon and Idaho to the north, California to the west, Arizona to the southeast and Utah to the east. The border with Arizona includes the Colorado River and Hoover Dam.
It is in a mountain region that includes semiarid grasslands and sandy deserts, and is the most arid (dry) state in the nation. Nevada is a land of rugged, snow-capped mountains, grassy valleys and sandy deserts. The northern and central portions of Nevada are mostly within the Great Basin Desert, while portions of the southern tip are within the Mojave Desert.
In 1850, the U.S. Congress established the Utah territory which included the present day states of Utah, Idaho and Nevada. 1859 saw the discovery of the Comstock Lode, a rich outcropping of gold and silver, and Virginia City sprang up. This discovery brought a flood of miners, prospectors, merchants and others hoping to strike it rich.
On March 2, 1861, Nevada separated from the Utah territory and adopted its current name, shortened from Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "snowy range"). On October 31, 1864, just eight days prior to the presidential election, Nevada became the 36th state in the union. Statehood was rushed through despite Nevada's tiny population to help ensure Abraham Lincoln's reelection and post-Civil War Republican dominance in congress. As Nevada's mining-based economy tied it to the more industrialized Union, it was viewed as politically reliable (as opposed to the more agrarian and Confederate-sympathizing California).
Nevada achieved its current boundaries on May 5, 1866 when it absorbed the portion of Pah-Ute County in the Arizona Territory west of the Colorado River. The transfer was prompted by the discovery of gold in the area, and it was thought that Nevada would be better able to oversee the expected population boom. This area includes most of what is now Clark County, Nevada.
Negotiations are currently underway for Nevada to annex Wendover, Utah, which would be merged with West Wendover, Nevada. This deal will require the permission of both the Nevada and Utah legislatures and the U.S. Congress.
Mining shaped Nevada's economy for many years. In the late 1800's, the Comstock Lode played out, and Nevada went into a tailspin. There was even talk of stripping away statehood, the only time in American history such an action was discussed in Congress. However, the rich silver strike at Tonopah in 1900 helped save the state. This was soon followed by strikes in Goldfield and Rhyolite in the following years. These strikes lasted well into the 1910s and made Nevada a dominant player in mining once again. Mines still control a good percentage of Nevada's economy. Gold from the Carlin Trend in Northern Nevada is the second richest in the world. Other minerals, such as copper, molybdenum, and lithium, are also mined.
Despite Nevada being the third oldest western state, it is referred to as the "Permanent Colony" as over 87% of the land is owned by the Federal Government. The primary reason for this is that homesteads were not permitted in large enough sizes to be viable in the arid conditions that prevail throughout Nevada. Instead, early settlers would homestead land surrounding a water source, and then graze livestock on the adjacent public land, which is useless for agriculture without access to water (this pattern of ranching still prevails). The deficiencies in the Homestead Act as applied to Nevada were probably due to a lack of understanding of the Nevada environment, although some firebrands (so-called "Sagebrush Rebels") maintain that it was due to pressure from mining interests to keep land out of the hands of common folk.
Gambling was common in the early Nevada mining towns, but was outlawed in 1909 as part of a nation-wide anti-gaming crusade. Due to a sharp decline in mining output in the 1920s and the decline of the agricultural sector during the Great Depression, Nevada re-legalized gambling in 1931. At the time, the leading proponents of gambling expected that it would be a short term fix until the state's economic base widened to include less cyclical industries, however re-outlawing gambling has never been seriously considered since.
A fictional history (with a great deal of fact) titled Nevada was written by Clint McCullough.
Due to the tremendous growth of Las Vegas in recent years, there is a noticeable divide between politics of Northern Nevada and Southern Nevada. The north has long maintained control of key positions in the state government even while the Las Vegas area is larger than the rest of the state (the "cow counties"). This has fostered resentment as the north sees the south as a potential bully of majority rule and the south sees the north as the "old guard" trying to rule as an oligarchy. Most people outside the state are not familiar with this rivalry.
The state is not dominated by either major political party. Democrat Bill Clinton won the state in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections and Republican George Bush won Nevada in 2000 and 2004. In 2004, George Bush narrowly won the state's 5 electoral votes by a margin of 2 percentage points with 50.5% of the vote. Las Vegas' Clark county, which contains the majority of the state's population, was the only county to vote Democratic.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that Nevada's total state product in 2003 was $88 billion. Per capital personal income in 2003 was $31,910, 19th in the nation. Its agricultural outputs are cattle, hay, dairy products, onions and potatoes. Its industrial outputs are tourism, mining, machinery, printing and publishing, food processing, and electric equipment. It is well-known for gambling and nightlife. Large, luxurious casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno attract visitors from around the world.
Nevada is also one of only a few states with no personal income tax.
According to the Census Bureau, as of 2003, the population of Nevada was 2,241,154.
The five largest ancestry groups in Nevada are: German (14.1%), Mexican (12.7%), Irish (11%), English (10.1%), Italian (6.6%), American (4.8%).
Nevadans of British ancestry dominate most counties in the state. Las Vegas and Pershing county are heavily Mexican; Nye and Humboldt counties have large German-American populations.
6.8% of its population were reported as under 5, 26.3% under 18, and 13.6% were 65 or older. Females made up approximately 50.7% of the population. As a result of its rapid population growth, Nevada has a higher percentage of residents born outside of the state than any other state.
Nevada is also reputedly the home of Area 51, a top-secret installation the U.S. federal government has always denied existed. Area 51 is supposedly located in Groom Lake, near Nellis Air Force Base.
Interstate 15 passes through the southern tip of the state, serving Las Vegas and other communities. It has spur routes I-215 and I-515. Interstate 80 crosses through the northern part of Nevada, reaching from Utah in the east and passing westward through Reno and into California. It has a spur route, I-580. Nevada also is served by several federal highways: US-6, US-50, US-93, US-95 and US-395. There are also 189 Nevada State Highways.
The state is one of just a few in the country that allow semi-trailer combinations with three trailers—what might be called a "road train" in Australia. However, American versions are usually smaller, in part because they must ascend and descend some fairly steep mountain passes.
Union Pacific Railroad has some railroads in the north and in the south (map). Amtrak's California Zephyr uses one of the northern branches in a daily service from Chicago, Illinois to Emeryville, California serving Elko, Winnemucca, Sparks, and Reno. Burlington Northern Santa Fe has trackage rights to the Union Pacific lines in the north.
Amtrak provides bus services from Las Vegas to Needles, California and Los Angeles. Greyhound Lines also provides some bus services.
Las Vegas has a bus network, and a monorail system that is being extended. McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas is one of the busiest airports in the United States.
There are also bus services in Reno/Sparks, and from there to Carson City. Some counties do not have public transport at all, for example Eureka County.

As with any peptide purchase there are a range of different factors to consider when you plan to buy GHRP6 online. This is a peptide that, like many others that are being studied, is a growth hormone-releasing hormone. It works at a cellular level to stimulate the release of growth hormone which in turn stimulates various cells and systems within the body.
In the lab animals that are injected with GHRP6 have an increase in appetite but also an increase in actual metabolic rates. This means that while they eat more they also use more energy through their metabolic processes, burning more fat and adding more lean muscle mass with the use of the peptide.
In lab studies on a variety of animals including rats, administering GHRP6 stimulated the cells of the anterior pituitary cells, specifically the phospholipid messenger system in these cells. The more GHRP6 that was administered the more growth hormone was released. This lead to more lean muscle being produced and stronger and thicker muscle cells in both in vitro and in vivo tests.
In digestive studies on rats it was also found that the presence of GHRP6 in higher levels in the body resulted in the lining of the stomach releasing another peptide which stimulates appetite. This also increases the rate of gastric emptying, which can contribute to fat loss in the body when combined with the boost in metabolic rate.
When you buy GHRP6 online you can take advantage of sales, special offers and discount prices and buy larger quantities. This peptide can be stored in the sealed, sterile vials in a fridge or freezer for a significant amount of time. However, it is always recommended that you buy GHRP6 only from a reputable site that specializes in providing high quality peptides.
Look for options when you buy GHRP6 that allow you to combine products for reduced or free shipping. The top online site will also provide a satisfaction guarantee, some for as long as one year after purchase, which is good indication of the top quality of the product. Before you buy GHRP6 anywhere be sure to compare our products and prices.

Moscow attractions. The Moscow Metro.
The Moscow Metro is a rapid transit system serving Moscow and the neighbouring Moscow Region towns of Krasnogorsk and Reutov. This is the second in intensity metro system in the world after the Tokyo subway. The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 298.8 km (double-track basis) on which there are 182 stations. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935 and ran from the station «Sokolniki» to the station «Park Kultury», with a branch to the station «Smolenskaya». The Moscow Metro was originally named after L. Kaganovich. In 1955, Metro was named after V. Lenin. Almost from the first years of the Moscow metro, it was intended as the subject of civil defense. In April 1941, it was declared that the Metro was to be used as the mas bomb shelter. During the World War II, thousands of Muscovites were hiding there from air strikes. The Moscow Metro is known by the rich decoration work of many stations with samples of art of socialist realism. Moscow metro stations are also called «underground palaces of Moscow», they differ by magnificent palace halls. The underground complexes are decorated with statues and reliefs, monumental and decorative compositions: paintings, mosaics and stained glasses, created by the leading artists of the country. Stations «Pushkinskaya», «Revolution Square» with 76 bronze sculptures by M. Manizer, «Kropotkinskaya», «Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya» with mosaics by P. Korin, «Novoslobodskaya» and others belong to the most interesting monuments of architecture of 1930-1950's. Some of them are officially protected by the government.

It is the clear position of the EFNR to continuously comment on all aspects of NeuroRehabilitation policies. Strokes, which are sudden loss of brain function. It is caused by the interruption of flow of blood to the brain (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of blood vessels in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). The interruption of blood flow or the rupture of blood vessels causes brain cells (neurons) in the affected area to die.
Different parts of the brain control different functions. Learning what the parts of the brain do can help you understand why stroke can affect people so differently.

Virgin Mobile Canada has announced that they to will be releasing the HTC Sensation. That means you can likely pick this one up on a Virgin Tab agreement when it comes out but the bad news is of course — your money will still go to Bell since they own Virgin Mobile in Canada.

My sister and I both have this strange condition where our finger tips loose circulation even in semi warm conditions. It's called Raynauld's Disease. We think we inherited it from our father who also seems to have it. This is what it can look like.
My hands often loose circulation in the middle of the summer if I'm shopping in a heavily air conditioned grocery store. So as you might imagine the winters in Pennsylvania are not kind to our fingers. Some say it's like "being allergic to coldess". I thought that was funny.
To help my sister I made these for a Christmas present and I'm going to include a box of Hot Hands (air activated) hand warmers with them. To make the glittens I bought a pair of touchscreen gloves from Walmart and added a fleece pocket to the back with her initials on it which I embroidered. She can put the warmer in the pocket and then pull the pocket over her fingers to keep her hands extra warm while she's driving, walking the dogs, going grocery shopping in the summer;-P.....whatever!!!!
The pocket helps keep the warmer in place so it doesn't move all around the inside like it would inside a mitten. And if she needs to use her fingers she can just take off the pocket and let it hang.
Step 1: Place the middle of your glove at the bottom of your fleece. Trace around the glove. Leave about 1/2" inch on either side and an inch and a half above the glove. Cut SIX of these.
Step 2: Take two of your six pieces and cut off the top.
Step 3: Sew to the sides of one of your other pieces. WRONG sides together.
Step 4: Take another piece and sew it to the piece you just made. RIGHT sides together. Your pocket piece should be sandwiched in between.
Step 7: Take an embroidery thread and needle and hand sew to glove. Done!
What a horrible thing to suffer from, but what a great idea. If I ever travel anywhere colder than here in Queensland I will definately make some!

About six months ago, I was faced with the challenge of how to grow my business through social media. I had just walked out of an inspiring seminar armed with information on Facebook pages, Twitter handles and LinkedIn profiles…I was ready to get to work! But a few weeks later, I had not made any progress toward my goal. I flipped back through my notes from the seminar and found a scrawled notation in the margin: “get an accountability partner!” An accountability partner is someone to whom you are accountable for staying on track toward your goal. They are equally accountable to you for progress toward their goal. This simple exchange ignites a collaborative process toward mutual success…a win-win! So far, this has been the most valuable suggestion to come from the seminar. My accountability partner has become a huge asset in the growth of my business giving me that extra push I needed to get into action.
To begin, each partner needs a goal and some basic steps to reaching that goal. If you need help generating these steps, best practices or a growth strategy, a professional coach can also be helpful. Each week you email or meet with your accountability partner to exchange your to-do list for the week. You may give and receive feedback on these steps as necessary. At the end of the week, you may exchange a summary of what was completed or just move those items over to the next week’s email exchange.
Accountability partners can also help with strategy, networking opportunities and are there to listen when the roadblocks appear. In-person meetings are excellent forums for creating strategy or kicking around new ideas. You can meet anywhere you can communicate effectively, i.e. a coffee meeting, park bench or a hike! If you can’t meet in person, then a Skype, Facetime or Ichat call works well.
Once you find the right partner, you will look forward to crossing items off of your list. For me, it helps to have someone who is counting on me to get things done. There is a satisfaction that I get from finishing things and putting new opportunities out there for review. In the past six months I have reworked my website, updated my LinkedIn profile, completed a few articles and finally got an online bookkeeping system in place! You all probably know someone who is a highly developed taskmaster. He or she skillfully and seemingly easily creates forward progress. For the rest of us, try finding an accountability partner; you’ll be happy that you did!

"This is the new normal. ... And that means a tough conversation for everyone about water."
With weather conditions as they are, a whole new way of thinking about water use is necessary, said Wayne Tucker, founder of BIO S.I. Technology, which makes microbial soil that helps increase water nutrients and efficiency for agriculture.
"Instead of planting 5,000 acres of a crop that could use thousands of gallons of water, we need to reduce crop planting to something like 2,000 acres, " argued Tucker. "We're not getting the sufficient rainfall we need to keep doing what we have been doing."
"Whole civilizations in the past have disappeared because of lack of water."

Yesterday, it was my pleasure to visit local radio stations with my coworkers and announce the main stage entertainment lineup for the 28th annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off. Usually we aren’t able to announce the entertainment lineup until late July, so I was very excited to announce the entertainment on the last day of May. Feeling like a bit of an overachiever right now!
This year’s main stage lineup features artists from many different genres. We booked different types of acts so there is something for everyone. All shows are free and there is a fun festival vibe to be enjoyed while eating as many ribs as your heart desires.
I am so excited about this show! We’ve had several tribute acts at the Nugget over the last year and they are some of the most talented musicians I’ve seen. I suspect Rus Anderson’s performance will blow me away! He performs as a young Elton John in a fun tribute show with lots of energy and costumes that Elton John would be proud to wear. Wait… he was proud to wear them! He once owned these gorgeous costumes. This is going to be a high energy, fun-filled show to kick-off the event!
We are pleased to feature the Garage Boys at the Rib Cook-Off this year. They are a band out of Las Vegas and they have a big following in northern Nevada. They are high energy and they know how to rock. The Garage Boys will sing some of their original songs and also perform those covers that everyone loves. From the 80s to today, Classic Rock to Country, they have it covered. The crowd is going to go crazy when The Garage Boy take the stage!
I love the ‘90s! Who doesn’t? That is why we booked Vertical Horizon for Friday night. Vertical Horizon has released three albums. Their big hit was “Everything You Want,” which sold over two million copies. The song was the most played single of 2000. This pop rock band is incredibly talented! Vertical Horizon has several radio hits that are sure to take you back to the ‘90s Friday night at the Rib Cook-Off.
About 8 years ago my dear friend Valerie introduced me to Jessie James music. Val was obsessed with the Blue Jeans song. It is a catchy tune and it gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. Since then Jessie James has gone on to release several hits. She recently married Eric Decker, the famous NFL wide receiver that plays for the New York Jets. She also stars in a popular E! reality TV show documenting her life with Eric. I really admire Jessie James! She is a savvy business woman with her own clothing and accessory line, reality show, and hit internet channel with online beauty tutorials. She believes in empowering women through her businesses. I admire her for her dedication. She has also traveled to the Middle East to visit troops stationed overseas. She has kept true to her vision and her dreams even when the record companies were trying to mold her into something else. She is a very funny, sassy, flirty, and somewhat unfiltered personality on her TV show. The crowd will fall in love with her during her first song.
He has two tickets to paradise and by that I mean the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off. We are excited to feature the legendary music of Eddie Money. From the late ‘70s until today he has had a huge career and puts on one hell of a show. I predict the VIP Rib Village will sell out Sunday night once the word gets out that Eddie Money is the performer that night.
This is the last day of the festival. The concert is in the early afternoon. Burners returning from Burning Man stop by to get their fill of ribs on the way home. We wanted to book an act that would be peppy, bring a happy festival vibe, and draw people from every age group as well as attract the Burning Man crowd as they head home. We found our perfect match in The Original Wailers. Their music is internationally known. The band, with Bob Marley on the microphone, sold over a billion dollars worldwide with their unique beats, memorable and touching lyrics, and amazing guitar sounds. I saw the band a few years back in Lake Tahoe and they put on a great show. I will never forget the experience of seeing them live on stage. They were fantastic! The show will be packed as we enjoy our last concert at Rib Cook-Off 2016.
The Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off will be held August 31 – September 5, 2016 in Sparks, Nevada. The six-day BBQ festival is the largest BBQ festival in the country and features a fantastic entertainment lineup. The event features approximately 40 artists on two different stages. Today we announced the entertainment for the Main Stage. We will announce the entertainment lineup for the Floor & Decor West End stage in the next few weeks. We are just fine tuning the lineup right now. Stay tuned!
For more information or to buy tables at the VIP Rib Village please visit www.nuggetribcookoff.com.
Stop everything you are doing and vote for the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off as Best BBQ Festival in the USA Today Readers’ Choice Poll.
Being nominated as one of the best BBQ festivals in the country is a huge honor. Winning means a lot of national publicity for the event and a new level of community pride. We all know that Sparks, Nevada is home to the best BBQ festival in the country, so now we want the rest of the country to know. Six-days of rib cooking and 241,000 pounds of ribs makes this the nation’s winner when it comes to the largest BBQ festival. Now we want the official title as USA Today Reader’s Choice Best BBQ Festival.
A title like USA Today Best BBQ Festival 2016 will also open doors for new sponsorship opportunities. It gives us a talking point when we pitch national sponsorships, and it would be nice to go back to the national companies that won’t give us the time of day and show them we are the best. The bragging rights that come with this title are enormous!
Voting is easy! You can vote once a day on each electronic device you own. That means you should vote using your home computer, laptop, smart phone, tablet, and work computer, as long as it won’t get you in trouble with the boss.
The contest started earlier this week. Overnight we went from #18 to #2. The contest ends on June 20th so hopefully we can take the lead by the end of the contest and bring home the title for our community. Please take a minute each day and vote for the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off.
The Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority (RSCVA) partnered with the City of Reno and City of Sparks to collect opinions from locals about special events. They wanted to hear from residents in particular because if they aren’t drawn to special events in the community the events probably won’t be attractive enough to draw tourists from out the area. The other goals were to share the information with event producers so they can use them to enhance their events, and use the information to solicit new events. Special events play a valuable role in our community. They add to quality of life and generate economic impact for the region. It is important to have a combination of residents and tourists to support special events.
Nina Brown, RSCVA; Francine Burge, City of Sparks; and Alexis Hill, City of Reno were the leaders for the survey project. They did a fantastic job! The survey was funded by the RSCVA, City of Sparks and City of Reno. Survey analysis was provided by Center for Regional Studies at University of Nevada. The survey responses are going to be incredibly helpful to all of us event producers in the region.
The results of the survey were shared with event producers at a meeting this week. There was a lot of good information, way too much to review in one blog post. There were a few results that were very fascinating to me. I will elaborate in future blog posts, but for now I’d like to highlight a few results that caught my attention.
Reno…Always Tardy for the Party!
The survey asked “When you go to an event, how far in advance do you make the decision to attend?” The top two responses were when first notified of event and the week of the event. Very few responders made plans further than a week before the events they attended. Event producers constantly talk about how Reno-Sparks ticket buyers usually buy tickets the day of the event and it always makes us nervous because we can’t forecast event attendance. The survey results just proved that we were right in our theory that they don’t plan ahead. It also made me think we should boost all of our advertising big time the week of the event to get as many locals to show up as possible.
Everyone is crazy about social media and e-newsletters. If you want to attract millennials that is where you should be. If you want to attract customers 35 and older, you might want to consider spending some money on periodic publications, TV or radio. In the Reno-Sparks market that seems to be where most people over 35 years old get information about events and activities to attend.
When it comes to spending money at events or on tickets, customers in the Reno-Sparks area are very price sensitive. They want to attend free events but not pay much for them. This is a pretty hard business model to follow. I couldn’t help but wonder if this community culture was caused by the heyday of the casinos when everything was comped because gaming was so profitable. Did everyone get used to having great experiences, the best entertainment, and low cost food and beverage subsidized by gambling? Why aren’t people willing to pay for the experiences that the special events offer? How can we make sure to price events correctly and offer enough value to keep customers coming back? This section of the report gave me a lot to ponder.
I look forward to delving deeper into the survey and applying the knowledge to the events I produce. Stay tuned for more blog posts about the survey results. There are countless morsels of good information to share that event producers can use to improve their events and give customers more of what they want. I can’t wait to apply some of the lessons learned this upcoming event season!

One of my favorite annual events to produce is Brew HaHa. This year we celebrated Brew HaHa’s 21st birthday. The beer tasting event is a fan favorite for beer enthusiasts in Reno and all over the west coast. With 76 breweries pouring 3-4 types of beer you should easily be able to find some new favorites. Many breweries launch or market test new beers at the event. The variety and different styles of beer poured at Brew HaHa gives fans something to look forward to every January.
This is truly a community event. All of the beer at Brew HaHa is donated by breweries and local distributors. Beer comes from all over the country. Highlights from this year’s event included a raffle with more beer swag than anyone could imagine, live music by Whitney Myer, and the extremely impressive Artist Village. The Artist Village featured 40 artists. It is fun to see guests at the event interacting with the artists and buying art directly from the artist. The event gives artists an opportunity to network and share their art with the community while also helping Sierra Arts raise funds to support arts programs.
This year Brew HaHa 2016 was an enormous success! We raised $38,752 for Sierra Arts Foundation. The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Sierra Arts. The funds will support Sierra Arts community arts programs, such as the Elder Care Concert Series, the Arts Integrations Project, and my personal favorite Arts in Education program.
This is one of my favorite events because it is so unique. There are a lot of beer events, but Brew HaHa is special because it has its own vibe and unique atmosphere. Everyone that works the event is fabulous! I have fun working with the brewers and distributors to make sure all the beer makes it to the event and everything goes well. The Sierra Arts Foundation employees and volunteers are top-notch. We have so much fun working together it doesn’t even feel like work.
I absolutely love this event! What’s not to love? We work closely with the Sierra Arts team to throw the biggest kegger in northern Nevada. Finally all those skills I developed having parties in my youth are paying off. I’m now using those skills to raise funds to support the arts community, and that is something to be proud of.
The next Brew HaHa is scheduled for Friday, January 27, 2017 at Nugget Casino Resort.
Saturday, March 5, is the 4th annual Shamrock Shuffle in downtown Sparks. Shamrock Shuffle runners will be decked out in green running gear, funky holiday socks, and as much St. Patrick’s Day flare as they can collect.

Runners are encouraged to wear lots of crazy costumes for the 3.1 mile run through downtown Sparks. The more green the better!

When the race is over, the fun doesn’t stop! After the fun-run enjoy great music and the after party. Crawl Reno is hosting a downtown bar crawl. Each bar has a $3 drink special, there will be costume contests and lots of photo ops.
Dress to impress! There will be awards for best costume and fastest leprechaun.
Don’t forget to pick up your registration packet!
Parking is available in the free parking garages in the area.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to “get rich quick” with an online store?
I will share in this post with you a few details from the admin side of my This is not a tutorial.
Setting up or just moving an online business is a lot of work. Successful businesses make it look easy as 1-2-3 for their customers. If it was not easy to shop at a store no one would want to go back. I am grateful for the tools that Volution offers for my new store location’s success.
Rarely do we shoppers think about what goes on behind the magic of setting up an online store or even a brick and mortar store. So I thought my No Non-cents Nanna followers might like to get a glimpse of the work I am doing to move my Heart Felt Play Store from one E-commerce Platform to another one.
My first tough choice was to analyze numbers.
Uh oh! Something is broken. I had better fix it.
Volution is incredibly professional and supportive. However, I still have a lot to do to set up a whole new online store.
Follow along with my pictures: yeah, it used to look like Greek to me, too. I can’t wait for you to see the results when I open my new online doors for Heart Felt Play Store. I hope I will have made it easier for you to shop than it was before.
Hire a professional graphic designer to make everything look very professional?
Learn more computer skill and most of the graphics and images by myself.
HeartFelt PlayStore.com new online location. It is a work in progress.
I want my online store to keep that old-fashioned personal service feel for my customers and keep csots as low as I can go.
I do not plan on ever hiring employees other than family to work for me: I do not plan on becoming a high powered multi-million dollar corporation. I plan on staying small, yet, profitable personal customer service from myself or one of my family members or student study program assistant.
Some say to make your store look like a million bucks big company.
Golly, gee-whiz. I believe in being transparent and honest.
I want to save my customer as much money as I can without falling into a financial hole my self.
Nothing Glamorous About this Elephants Photo Shoot.
It was a nice sunny day so I drug the white tent tarp outside on my patio.
There was a breeze was a challenge. Then the neighbor kids were running around barefoot with squirt guns.
This is what it looks like when I am trying to capture “the look” I hope for.
I take my own photos of my product images. I do not ever steal stock photos or from Google images. the process of photographing images for a catalog is not glamorous.
Only YOU know what was going on when I shot this elephant.
So, it is not perfect like a professional photographer would have created, but, I saved my customers money by doing the work myself.
Did you see the image before editing and the little story behind it? Here is what my elephant visor will look like on my Heart Felt Play Store catalog page after editing. I do all of my own photography to save my customer’s money.
I picked a box full of this and that to haul a block away to the US Post Office. The box had to fit on my new four-wheel walker.
Yes, the founder and owner of this online store walk from her apartment too mail packages from the USPS Post office. And why not? It is good exercise and a whole lot less money than using the big delivery companies.
Note: My HeartFeltPlayStore.com has inventory psychically at my home-based business location, unlike many online stores who drop ship from Asia. I want my Mommy customers to feel reassured that I have personally mailed their 5 year old’s dinosaur birthday favors will arrive by ground within a week of ordering; not “A Slow Boat From China,” 6 weeks late.
I asked my local postal service how to best to keep shipping costs as low as possible. I actually took this box of my products to play with at the postage stamp counter. We figured I can offer FREE shipping on orders over $39. Other wise I have to bundle most products to absorb the cost. of the mail man’s paycheck.
The postal workers behind the counter are so nice to me whenever I exclaim, ” Help! I need some packaging solution ideas! Every one wants FREE shipping., but, I guess you ‘mailmen’ want your paycheck, too!”.
I know, I know, Amazon has taught us to expect FREE SHIPPING. But, that FREE Shipping we want may not be all that transparent. And, there may be costs you never thought about. No Non-cents Nanna is going to spill a few of the beans on postage stamps and delivery services.
Every delivery company expects to be paid for their service. Someone ends up paying the bill somewhere and somehow. It may not look like it, but the customer is really paying for their order to be delivered.
FREE Shiping is a marketing gimmick.
Merchants can offer to cover postage and handling fees when they have sold enough to absorb the cost of shipping without going broke. When moms, dads, and teachers buy from me they can purchase in small quantities versus a gross or a dozen. They may pay a tad more than the drop shipper who is getting goods directly from an unknown manufacturer in Asia. But that is not what this post is all about.
The United States Postal Service is my favorite way to mail a package.
One of my favorite postal clerks ( the guy who puts up with me so well) pointed out a few huge bank breakers on my sample product boxes. I prefer to mail orders in a bubble wrap envelope. But, I have some of the cutest animal beanies and hats that have no choice but to be mailed in a cardboard box.
The box is where the price of shipping goes up, especially when I have to add crumpled brown packing paper. So I made an executive decision to bundle basic tee-shirts that color coordinate with the animals hats instead of packing materials.
Besides., what mom has the time to run all over town trying to find a color-coordinated Tee-shirt to go with a dinosaur tail or maks as an example?
Uh oh! That does not sound right!
The postal clerk and I put in 2 tee-shirts and 2 zoo animal beanies in a box.
Bundling a crushable beanie or visor with a tee-shirt gives the customer more bang for their buck especially when they spend at least $39 to get my FREE SHIPPING offer.
YIKES! And just WHO wants to pay $1 more?
I do have a postage scales at home. Before I complete every product page I have to carefully weigh every item ( about 250 products) with the envelope or box and the stuffing.
Since my scales do not work with magic there will be no guessing games on the weights that will overcharge my customer who is paying for shipping.
Here is another little tidbit about shipping; THE ZONES!
I will be mailing from Colorado Springs, Colorado. ( I only sell to customers in the US) The further away from me that my customers mailing address is, the higher the price to ship. When guesstimating we always calculate from Denver to New York City for about the priciest postage..
I still have to check this out, but I do believe that all of these shipping cost craziness will show up on my Heart Felt Play Store for customers to see for themselves if they want to pay an extra few dollars for faster delivery or not.
WHY is the new Heart Felt Play Store Opening Until June 1st?
Did you know that everything, more than what customers see, has to be entered into individual admin pages?
OOPS! I found a mistake. I am so glad I have not PUBLISHED yet. I know all too well how many typographical errors that I can never live down online.
HeartFeltPlayStore.com owner shares behind the scene set up of the new online location. The dinosaur description has been written, now the edited image of the dinosaur masks have been uploaded on the admin page.
Sneak peek at a few products listed in the catalog for HeartFeltPlayStore.com at the new online location to open June 1, 2018. -see post for more behind the scene look at the basic work done to set up online shopping experience from one shop owner viewpoint.
Disclaimer: this post is meant for entertainment purposes. It is not meant to be a tutorial. I already have some good basic computer skills in my No Non-cents Nanna tool belt. For the most reliable information for those who are dreaming about an online store of their very own, I recommend contacting Volution directly on how their support system works.

As much fun as the holiday is for humans, it's important to be aware of some major Halloween dangers for felines. Owners of black cats, in particular, need to consider their pet's safety on this fun-filled night.
If you own a cat that is black or a black color combination, it would be best to keep them in the house. Unfortunately in this enlightened day and age, there are still persons who kidnap cats around Halloween and sacrifice them in cult rituals. Your cat is much safer indoors.
There are other dangers to your feline friend. If you are not already aware, chocolate and raisins are toxic to cats. Excess amounts of sugar are not good for cats either. If the kids drop a piece of candy, and your cat gets hold of it, it could become stuck in his mouth. Make sure your decorations are pet friendly too, by removing loose strings and dangly things that your cat could get caught up in. Stay away from decorations that are too small and could get lodged in your cat's mouth, they can block your cat's airway and he or she could suffocate.
On the lighter side, you can dress up your cat for Halloween. Companies make a full assortment of costumes for pets today. If you would like to dress up your cat for Halloween and have never dressed up your cat before, you should be aware that Ms. Munchkin may not sit still for what she feels is nonsense. So try and be sensitive to the cat's wishes. If a feline is unhappy he or she will let you know.
When picking a costume, make sure that there are no strings hanging or parts of trim that could distract your cat and make them want to chew on the costume. Make sure that the costume fits loosely enough that it doesn't bind, but not so loose that it will fall off your cat, or trip him when he is walking. If the costume comes with a mask, make sure that the eyeholes are large enough for your cat to see through. If there is a chance that your cat can't see through the mask, enlarge the eyeholes with a pair of scissors.
A costume that fits well should fit your cat from neck to tail, without going past the end of your cat's rear end. So, basically you want the costume to lie from the base of your cat's collar to their rump, just above where his tail emerges from his body. If your cat is not comfortable in his costume, don't force him to wear it for too long a period of time.
I would not suggest using any of the dye products that are on the market for coloring human hair for Halloween, as they could be toxic to your cat. Check at your local pet shop or groomer to see if they have anything suitable. If they don't and if you are determined to change the color of your cat's fur, check the mail-order pet catalogs or pet product websites, as there are products specifically made for pets that are not toxic to them.
Halloween can and should be a happy holiday for all the members of your family, not just the human contingent.

If systemic changes are needed to make it possible to climb out of poverty, shouldn’t we be praying for these systemic changes?
A question for the Vincentian Family today… Do we pray for the systemic change required that all may have food, clothing, shelter and live in a world that recognizes in its structures that we are brothers and sisters?
If not, take a few moments to ask why not?
Perhaps the following prayer will help us to pray for systemic change.
May God be with us as we serve those in need.
May we find creative ways to assist them in becoming independent.
May we pray for unity amongst Vincentians throughout the world.
May we explore new ways to teach and learn from those we serve.
May we pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us on the Vincentian Pathway to ending poverty as we now know it.
May we find courage and stamina to improve the structural systems that keep our friends in need in their place at the bottom of the ladder.
May we stand with them and for them in their struggles for justice in the care provided for and to them.
May God bless all of us knowing we are all doing our part to improve the system of care for those in need.

The Repertorium of Old Bulgarian Literature and Letters was conceived as an archival repository capable of encoding and preserving in SGML (and, subsequently, XML) format archeographic, paleographic, codicological, textological, and literary-historical data concerning original and translated medieval texts represented in Balkan and other Slavic manuscripts. The files are intended to serve both as documentation (fulfilling the goals of traditional manuscript catalogues) and as direct input for computer-assisted philological research. The present site was designed and implemented by David J. Birnbaum, Andrej Bojadžiev, Anisava Miltenova, and Diljana Radoslavova.
By location, full text of title, etc.
Manuscript descriptions from the related Slovo-ASO project can be found at http://aso.obdurodon.org.
Bibliographic references in the manuscript descriptions are maintained in a separate bibliographic database file, which can be browsed or searched. It is under development and does not yet contain all bibliographic references that appear in the full description files. The search field takes one or more complete words (it is not case-sensitive) and returns bibliographic records containing any of those words.

Jeff Clark at Neoformix did it again -- a simple visualization of streaming data that is entirely captivating. I let his "Thankful" twitter vis run for a while, and a surprising pattern emerged... the word most associated with "Thankful" on twitter tonight?
Maybe it's a sign of the economic times?
I know what I'm thankful for tonight: the possibility of no more PM Harper come next Monday!

Lily Lolo Mineral Shimmer is a sheer, ultra-fine powder that offers a gentle shimmer & glistening finish without looking heavy or artificial. Gentle on the skin, protecting rather than damaging your complexion.
Star Dust (Light) - This is a great multi-purpose highlighter. Use on shoulders, decolletage and cheekbones for extra shimmer. Can also be used sparingly as an all over finishing powder or even in the corners of eyes to freshen you up and give you a more wide awake look. It also acts as a light reflector for an ultra flawless look.
0.75g in a 5ml lockable sifter jar.
better for arms, decolletage etc.
I usually use the lighter colour for my face but this one is better for arms, decolletage etc.
Already use this Bronzer but it was out of stock so bought this to keep me going.
Great product by Lily Lolo. Goes on effortlessly, even coverage, stayed on all day.
This bronzer is too luminous for me ,as I like to use bronzer as an all year extra to make me look healthy . I agree wit other reviewers that it would make a good highlighter or a little bit is fine mixed with normal foundation to give you a healthy look in the summer.
This is listed as a bronzer, but is purely a pale white shimmery highlighter. A useful part of a make up kit, but not if you tend to get sweaty, or that 'glow' will be rather prominent!
Lovely makeup, looks great on. Will purchase regular size soon.
Love this product! But not as a bronzer. This shade is very pale and works beautifully as a shimmery base for the eye-lids or to highlight cheek bones. I use it with a small amount of water on a brush over my entire eyelid before putting on eyeliner and eye shadow. It catches the light beautifully on cheekbones to give a youthful healthy look- i use water with it on cheekbones too.
The sample colour I picked (South Beach) doesn't look to great on my skin colour (slightly darker than average medium) but overall a good product.

World War II (and after) in Argentina. Argentina was officially neutral until the very last second, though many elements of society leaned strongly to the Axis. Lots of German-descended citizens, too.
They sold lots of food to both sides, did quite well financially off of that.
And the Germans planned to withdraw the top echelons there if things went badly, to provide a place for National Socialism to rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Sent lots of money there, including tons of gold and things. To fund this, they also had a scheme where people outside could ransom Jews out of the concentration camps, for lots of money.
After the war, the OSS / CIA stashed Germans rescued as part of the Abwehr Ost deal (where General Gehlen turned over his records and working agents to the Allies to work against the Soviet Union, but only on the promise of the people in danger in the East being actually rescued) in Argentina. This was probably illegal (it bypassed the war crimes and anti-Nazi efforts), but was widely supported by those who thought the Soviet Union was the new enemy. It also left Germans from different and conflicting political positions hiding in the same country.

United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rejection of a patent claim, alleging the claim is not significantly more than an abstract idea under 35 USC §101, is a frequent and often frustrating occurrence during patent examination of claims in any technology that involves computers, controllers or processors. Here is another useful strategy the patent practitioner can use in writing a response to an Office action, or an appeal brief.
Suppose a USPTO examiner has written a rejection that the claims amount to nothing more than the abstract idea of a mathematical calculation (or other abstract idea) plus the instructions to implement it on a generic computer, and are therefore directed to patent ineligible subject matter. The patent practitioner could get into a back-and-forth argument with the examiner about whether or not claim limitations are significantly more than the abstract idea, wasting multiple cycles of examination because examiners can be very difficult to convince of this. One promising approach is to argue that the claims are directed to a specific technological solution to a specific technological problem, as has been successful in the courts. But, even this may not be convincing, if argued in the abstract, because, after all, we are dealing with abstract ideas to begin with, and it is all too easy for an examiner to dismiss an abstract argument as “not convincing”.
A concrete, bright line test can be constructed, which may sway an examiner (or appeal board, if the rejection is appealed). Articulate a specific technological problem that the claims solve or are directed to solving. Analyze the claim and cite some of the important claim limitations that are not present in the alleged abstract idea, and explain the significance of these claim limitations in terms of the technological problem and technological solution. Then, compare the abstract idea, for example “mathematical calculations” in and of itself, without the claim limitations that extend beyond the abstract idea, to the technological problem. Does the abstract idea in and of itself, with or without a generic computer, solve the technological problem? Of course not. Does the abstract idea plus the claim limitations that extend beyond the abstract idea, solve the technological problem. Yes, the combination of abstract idea plus claim limitations that extend beyond the abstract idea does solve the technological problem. This means the claim as a whole amounts to significantly more than the abstract idea plus the instruction to implement the abstract idea on a generic computer.
This bright line test makes it very difficult for an examiner to prove that the claim is nothing more than an abstract idea implemented on a computer. The examiner would either have to prove that the additional claim limitations are mere field of use limitations, which assertion is readily refuted through the above analysis, or that the claim as a whole does not solve the specific technological problem, which you have just demonstrated it does.
This carefully constructed argument passes logical rigor, and any attempts in further patent examination to defeat it can be addressed on a point by point basis with factually based logic. For example, if the next Office action asserts (or repeats an assertion) that the claims amount to an abstract idea without significantly more, the patent practitioner can respond that the Office action has not shown that the claims do not solve a specific technological problem, and is therefore unresponsive to the previously presented arguments. Added limitations (which can be cited directly) beyond the alleged abstract idea have been shown by Applicant to solve the specific technological problem and limit the claim to a specific technological solution thus constitute significantly more than the alleged abstract idea. Applying specific facts here gives weight to the arguments, and counterpoints the Office assertions, which are argued as unsupported.
If the Office action asserts that the claim limitations are mere field of use limitations, the patent practitioner can respond that an abstract idea plus field of use limitations would still not solve the specific technological problem. This argument can be reinforced with an example of a reduced set of added limitations that just capture field of use and the abstract idea, showing how this would not solve the specific technological problem. This can be contrasted with cited added limitations that do operate to solve the specific technological problem, bolstering the original argument and answering to the latest assertion.
If the Office action asserts that some subset of claim limitations (e.g., one line of limitations, or one subparagraph of limitations) is nothing more than well known computer operations on a generic computer, or otherwise commonly known, the patent practitioner can shift the argument to looking at the claim as a whole. The claim as a whole does include actions and/or structure that is not commonly known (and can be cited directly, or summarized) and therefore constitutes significantly more than the abstract idea. As a whole, the claim presents a specific technological solution that solves the specific technological problem and is thus not commonly known.
Concrete statement of a specific technological problem that the claims solve or address lays a strong foundation for arguments of patent eligible subject matter under 35 USC §101.
Testing to see whether the abstract idea in a claim rejection solves the specific technological problem provides a basis for comparison with the claim as a whole.
Testing to see whether the abstract idea in combination with the claim limitations that are beyond the abstract idea solves the specific technological problem provides a comparison for the claim as a whole versus the abstract idea.
Once the abstract idea has been compared with the claim as a whole, in light of the specific technological problem, the conclusion can be drawn that the claim is significantly more than the abstract idea with instructions to implement it on a generic computer.

Nice article, but it raises some questions. Is this advice based on experience or is it conjecture from your side? My experience is that examiners want to see a “use” limitation. They are generally not convinced by “Concrete statement of a specific technological problem that the claims solve.” They would like to see such statement in the claim. Which is often unnecessary functional claiming that may/will cause problems later on.
In one of my cases the issue is if something like a XOR function table, stored on a memory is performing a “modulo-2 addition” and thus is directed to an abstract idea, or is structural and is a device, such as LUTs (look-up tables) in FPGAs. It is structural, of course, but some examiners think otherwise. To have to argue these points during prosecution is an utter waste of time, it is completely unscientific and is a trap for inventors.
That is why patent eligibility has to be (re)defined by Congress or Alice has to be explicitly rescinded by Congress (as has been suggested on this blog), and not addressed by clever arguments by Applicants.
You need to do more than solve a technical problem to survive 101. You need a new technical solution to a technical problem. It’s more about what’s both new and technical.
It’d be about as accurate as those ads typically are.
Ternary@1, have you tried looking up your examiner’s recent cases to see what arguments/amendments are persuasive? I find that this gives me a very quick read on whether or not I should strive to reach agreement with the examiner or instead get my case ready for appeal.
Mark@3 Reasonable advice. But I know what the Examiner wants. That is not the issue. The issue is that mathematical language (whatever that is, even the term Error Correcting Code is considered mathematical) triggers an Alice rejection, with all type of demands for amendments. And reasonable arguments like “significant more” and “improvement of the computer” are not effective.
The fact is that an XOR stored table on a memory is a device. It is as much a device as a combinational circuit that performs the XOR. And however I characterize the table (as a modulo-2 addition, as an XOR, or as a Boolean expression of NANDs), the actual memory with the table is a device and does not perform arithmetic or Boolean logic and is not an abstract idea. (see a recent co-pending article from Gene). This whole nonsense of abstract idea should not even come up.
Ternary@4. I feel your pain. There are other options available, but this really isn’t the forum. Feel free to contact me through my new web site http://www.survivingalice.com and perhaps we can discuss further.
Mark@5. An issue with finding “significant more” arguments not persuasive and going after less substantial amendments is that the “directed to an abstract idea” argument remains unresolved. The Alice case itself could not have been saved from being ‘directed to an abstract idea’ by including more memories, processors and the like. That was the specific conclusion.
The being directed to an abstract idea is undefined and relies on “I know it when I see it.” (An electronic calculator is directed to an abstract idea, that is for sure!). My concern thus is that when I argue in a response that the invention provides “significant more” or “improves the computer” (as suggested in this article) and these arguments are considered as unpersuasive and I overcome with insubstantial amendments, I still have an invention that is deemed to be directed to an abstract idea. As an infringer, I would latch on to that in post-issuance pursuit of invalidation. So the patent I obtained with clever prosecution is still pretty much useless until it ultimately passes the Federal Circuit Court.
I am not looking for help in this, though suggestions are welcome. I am merely arguing that the whole Alice case is scientific nonsense and detrimental to obtaining strong and valuable patents. If a memory device or an MRI machine are deemed to be directed to an abstract idea, the system is running off the rails, as such a conclusion is nonsensical.
The fact that some judges came to their senses by finally deciding that a memory is not an abstract idea and we have to applaud them for that reflects a dubious state of affairs. Patent eligibility has to be redefined by Congress.
I like it, a lot, particularly if used as a way of thinking about the invention for application and claim drafting.
I sympathize with the comments having difficulties with using this approach for overcoming a rejection. But, in that I try to write applications that, drawing on prosecution experience (mine and others), try to answer an examiner’s questions before he or she even has them, this may be even better in that it gives an examiner an intelligent and useful question (or approach) she or he would not have thought to ask on their own, then answers it and possibly preempts a rejection based on less useful questions (or approaches).

The John H.B. Latrobe House is the only surviving site associated with the "Saturday Morning Visiter" writing contest that launched Edgar Allan Poe's literary career. On an evening in October 1833, Latrobe, along with John Pendleton Kennedy and James H. Miller, read Poe's "Ms. Found in a Bottle" and unanimously declared him the winner. Poe, who was at the time a penniless unknown author, received a $50 cash prize. Perhaps more importantly, Poe struck up a friendship with Kennedy who would help jump-start his literary career.
John Pendleton Kennedy was already a moderately successful author when he met Poe. His first major romance about the agrarian South, "Swallow Barn," was published a year before and helped established the Southern gentleman archetype we have today. In 1838, Kennedy published "Rob of the Bowl"—a tale about religious and political rivalries in seventeenth century Maryland. Kennedy gave up writing when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives later that year. The peak of his political career was in 1852 when served as Secretary of the Navy.
Poe got his job at "The Southern Literary Messenger" because of a reference from Kennedy; a job Poe was fired from only weeks later when he was caught drinking on the job. Despite Poe's missteps, Kennedy believed in the young writer. Poe would often write to him for favors, money, and reassurance and considered Kennedy to be his friend when no one else was. The relationship became strained once Kennedy got into politics. The loans and favors stopped coming, leaving Poe feeling abandoned by his old friend.
For many years, the Latrobe House held the offices of furniture manufacturing company Fallon & Hellen. Today, it is a private residence and signifies a milestone in Poe's career as an author.

The majority of people are so focussed on limitations that they forget to enjoy life. They have lost their passion and they don’t believe in miracles and magical occurrences anymore. Speak to these people and their faces will be expressionless, showing the scars that life had left them with. They will tell you that reality is harsh, but that is how life is.
This is not how life is supposed to be. You need to start to believe again. Life can be very exciting and it is suppose to be exciting for every single person out there. Subconscious Beliefs is here to help and please don’t stop until your life is back on track!
Limiting beliefs are the things that are keeping you from achieving your success and living your dreams. In order to change your beliefs, you need to know what is beliefs and where do they come from.
A belief is rule of life you have created for yourself after perceiving some evidence. It’s created by nobody else than you and you have created these beliefs for a specific reason……to give you a sense of security.
It is very important to remember that you have created these beliefs out of a certain perception you have about something. You are very certain about your perception.
Let me use an example – you belief in gravity here on earth.
You are pretty sure that if you jump off a building that you will not fly away. You’ll be pulled back to earth, because of the gravity of the earth. Well, that is a belief.
Is it a good belief?
Yes. It will prevent you from jumping off of high things!
It is now a rule of life for you and you are pretty sure about it. You accept it and your mind goes on with other stuff. You don’t have to think about the belief again. You never question your beliefs, because you think they are true.
The time has come to start questioning your beliefs. Once you can proof to yourself that a certain belief is not true, your subconscious will immediately get rid of that belief.
The only reason people think that change is difficult, is because they have a belief that to change is difficult. It is possible to clear limiting beliefs in minutes.
Not all beliefs need to be changes. You only want to change the limiting beliefs. The good beliefs must stay and you don’t need to spend time identifying them, because you don’t want to change them. What you want is to identify those beliefs that are not so good for you, those limiting beliefs that is preventing you from achieving big successes in your life.
The thing about beliefs is that most of them are hidden in your subconscious mind and you are not aware of them. You can take the one self-development course after another and still get no lasting results, simple because of those hidden beliefs.
Where did the beliefs come from ?
When you were born your life started off as a clean slate. Almost like a new computer. All the programmes were installed, but you haven’t used it yet.
As you grow older you are having experiences. You touch a hot stove and you burn. Immediately you learn that it is not OK to touch a hot stove. A belief is formed and stored in your subconscious mind. This has the benefit that you don’t have to think of it again. Your subconscious will make sure that you’ll never touch another hot stove again – that is intentionally, by the way -accidents can still happen.
You can also learn by what happens to other people. Perhaps it was your sister who sat on the hot stove. This, however, is more applicable as you are getting older. When you are still young, you tend to be the one who made the mistakes.
The next source of beliefs is what you are being taught. Your parents will do the most of the teaching. As I said earlier on, by means of instruction or by means of their behaviour. When you are young, the world seems so dominating and you tend to belief anybody. Teachers and friends also play an important role in this education.
In the modern age, kids seem to be born with cell phones and laptops in the hand. Children these days have a lot more access to everyday news and it is creating a lot of early beliefs in them. The TV set has become the new baby sitter and parents should monitor what they are watching.
Why are all of these beliefs created ?
The subconscious mind already has a lot to do, like remembering all your life experiences and keeping you alive by letting your vital organs function perfectly. It needs some back up to help it.
Remember, the subconscious is powerful, but it doesn’t have any life experience. It totally beliefs the inputs of your conscious mind.
The priority of the subconscious mind is to keep you alive.
That is the reason why beliefs are formed.
The beliefs are certainties that the subconscious can use to help it to keep you alive.
You, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind believe these beliefs to be true.
Because you belief it to be true, you never question it again.
You forget about it. It has now formed a structure of do’s and don’ts in.
Please remember, the beliefs you created were created by your PERCEPTION.
This means that not all those beliefs you formed is necessarily true.
YOUR OPINION of something created it.
We all experience life differently and therefore our opinions of things are different. If you ask a few eyewitnesses to an accident what had happened, you will probably get different stories from all of them.
Nothing in this world has any meaning except the meaning that you give to it.
WHY DOES GOD ALLOW BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO PEOPLE ?
I am amazed how God must feel right now, when everybody is blaming Him for something He didn’t do !!
I believe that God is a loving God and He will not send bad things on your road. He loves you unconditionally and wants only the best for you.
A lot of churches is of the opinion that God let bad things happen, in order to get you back on the right road/ways. That is not true. If you are a parent, will you hurt your child to help him learn something? No ! Why then will God do it ?
Do you blame the sun if you get a sun burn ? No !! You are the one who is responsible for getting the sun burn in the fist place. The same with God.
We are quick to blame God for everything.
He gave us free will and we need to deal with that as we requested.
Everything is energy (Please consult – Quantum physics & Einstein). The beliefs in your subconscious mind are also energy. Every person has actually a level of energy vibration he/she has every moment of the day. Your limiting beliefs also influences that energy.
Your dominant energy vibration determines what you attract in life. If you are poor, it is a result of your energy vibration. Perhaps you grew up with certain limiting beliefs. A lack of money is usually a sign of an energy blockage.
I agree that sometimes certain information is written in the book of life. Your soul agreed before your life on earth on certain terms in order to have a certain experience. These types of things you cannot change. If you have a deadly disease that cannot be cured, it may just be that it was decided before your life. The great thing is that everything is happening in perfect order (even if it doesn’t seem so!).
In general however, you have the control over your life. You have free will. You are not a victim. Go out and enjoy life….every second of it!
…and never blame God again…..
thanks for posting, please keep doing it.
liked it so much, thank you.
The principles in this book are correct and they work if you apply them. The book is about using the power of your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is that part of your mind that judges things and contemplates whether you can or cannot do something. It compares things and when you attempt to use your conscious mind and work on some goal, it may pop up with all the reasons why something may not be possible for you to do. Your subconscious mind goes for DIRECT EXPERIENCE. It doesn’t judge whether something is possible or impossible, good or bad it merely ACCEPTS as true and real whatever you EXPERIENCE as REAL subjectively.
When you pick a goal to work on with your subconscious, make sure that it is something that is BELIEVABLE to you. Whatever ideas you desire to impress upon your subconscious mind will work in conjunction with that which is already in your subconcious mind so if the ideas and beliefs which are currently in your subconscious are in conflict with your desired goal, it will take you a long time to experience the desired results. If you begin with things you are willing to accept as possible for you, you’ll get much faster results and you’ll also condition your mind for success and to the world of many new wonderful possibilities.
This lovely book teaches you how to use the power of your mind in many different areas in your life.
This article is very nice.I understood everything, thank you.
So dr, do you believe in psychics or are you also jumping on the abundance and enlightenment band-wagon? Tell me, do you believe in reincarnation? What does your church teach you?
Sorry for the delay to answer your questions. I have many to do, but I make sure I get all of them answered.
It is normal to be sceptical in your life experience.Remember people are naturally negative and sceptic creatures. I believe in psychics and they also confirmed all my theories – of which they didn’t know before my interviews.They are just people being able to sense the higher energy realms.You see, they higher their energy and spirit must lower their energy so that they can connect and establish communication.
All is energy and your current energy signature determines your life. I believe that once you die or cross-over (better term) your soul energy leaves your physical temporary body and in the astral level you join the comparative energy of your personal energy signature.
If you have low energy vibrations, you’ll experience low energy on that side. If you cross over with a high energy vibration you’ll enter the higher energy realm. You can also translate these as heaven and hell if you like.
I can go on for pages to answer you! And yes, you can be enlightened too! Once you are there you’ll realise that life is not about money, but more about having love, health, safety etc. which we call abundance. And the funny thing is that once you understand that, money will start to flow into your life. You first need to get rid of the energy blockages.
Did you know that certain books of the bible were removed centuries ago? I’m not going to mention any religions and other stuff, due to legal reasons. These books contained information on reincarnation.
All religions have different believes but at the end, they all serve to honour the same God. See it as different routes to the same destination. All that matters to you, is NOW and what you do with your life.
We are in an enlightment age and more people will start to learn how the world and life really works. That is why I also have this website – to give information and to help enlighten people. The problem is that people get scared of the unknown and they start to call it blasphemy.
The great thing is that I can explain all the bible texts according to the principles contained in this website. The bible will start to make more sense to you. My point is that these laws of the universe and energy is 100% according to the bible.
We have a loving God who too often must take the blame for our own mistakes. Don’t we blame Him very often? He doesn’t punish you – He is only love! We need to become more like Him to be enlightened (raise of your energy vibration).
If you still is unsure, check out my ebooks! ..or just sign up for more information letters.

Note: This series isn’t about endorsing any particular company or brand. My goal is to cover major stores, where most Americans shop, to show people that just making a switch in the products they purchase is a huge first step in adopting a real food lifestyle–this only requires changing what you put in your cart. Once this hurdle is conquered, other options may be explored–farms, co-ops, and local health stores. Small, but practical changes lead to a doable lifestyle! Learn more about shopping for real food under the “Shopping 101″ section on the blog.
Note: Picture from our Target shopping trip.
Today is the last day in the real food shopping series! Over the last ten weeks we’ve spent almost every Monday visiting a new store in the United States with the goal of finding real food.
When we first started talking about the idea of a shopping series consisting of many conventional stores, I was a bit concerned about the food options available. I thought the weekly posts would be rather short and sweet, consisting of some oats and nuts, but nothing more than that. To my surprise, over the last ten weeks, I’ve found a multitude of real food options even at places I least expected like Walmart and Target.
Today’s store highlight was requested by many readers. When I asked in the weekly newsletter (via email) for store suggestions a huge response came back for one particular store…Aldi.
I’ve never actually stepped foot into an Aldi, but I’ve read many blogposts over the years about this miracle store. Aldi shoppers certainly have a deep love for the store and regularly sing praises about the large selection of great food at low prices. I was eager to finally visit the Aldi in our area and take a look at the options available.
I originally intended to share this Aldi post much earlier in the series, since it was such a requested store. After weeks and weeks of communication back and forth with multiple Aldi representatives, we were never granted permission to take photos within a store. As it turns out, Aldi maintains a very closed-door policy when it comes to media within stores. We have a full respect for the stores we visit, so we were compliant with Aldi’s policy. The pictures in today’s post will look different than the normal store photos you’re used to seeing in this series. Instead, we visited a store and purchased the real food options.
Shopping at Aldi is like visiting another planet, seriously!
First, most of us just grab a shopping cart and walk into a store. At Aldi you must “rent” a shopping cart. It’s only $.25 and you get your money back when you return the cart to its original location near the entrance, but this can be quite the surprise for someone who never carries cash in her purse. Good thing I found some change in my car.
Aldi doesn’t provide bags or boxes (at least my store didn’t offer any boxes). A shopper should be prepared with reusable bags or boxes. Aldi sells paper and plastic bags at checkout for $.10, hence the bag in the photo above :).
Aldi doesn’t actually bag your groceries, even if you bring bags. Maybe this is unique to the store near me. The cashier who checked me out placed the bags I purchased inside the cart with my products. I had to bag my groceries once I got to my car. This means you’ll need to spend a few extra minutes during your shopping trip bagging groceries.
Finding real food at Aldi isn’t easy. Yes, real food options can be found, but you really need to read labels and inspect products. I highly recommend visiting a store without kids or time limits. Walk down each aisle and scan the shelves, taking note of the real food options available.
Since the real options are often “buried” in the processed food, a scouting trip with your real food guidelines in mind is the best way to get a feel for how and what to shop for at Aldi. If you don’t have time to visit a store you can take a look at the Aldi website where you’ll find a list of products offered. You can also use the website to make a shopping list. Note: Aldi doesn’t list the ingredients in products on the website, so take precaution to read the ingredient lists in the store.
Simply Nature is the in-house organic brand at Aldi. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices, clean ingredient list, and large selection of many products in this line. Aldi highlights the products found in the Simply Nature line on Aldi.com.
Aldi offers special seasonal items. These items are clearly marked on the price signs hanging above the food item. These items are only available for a limited time and will soon be replaced with new seasonal items.
Aldi’s produce is incredibly inexpensive. You can find the weekly produce sales in the weekly sales flyer. If you live near an Aldi this flyer is probably delivered to your home. If not, you can use the Aldi website to find the weekly sales flyer for the store near you.
Aldi also sells non-food items, such as: bedding, gardening supplies, lamps, food storage, and more. These items can be found in the weekly sales flyer. Last week I noticed Aldi highlighted a juicer for $59.
Aldi offers organic produce; however, the selection is very limited. If you plan to shop for produce at Aldi, I recommend shopping according to the “Buy Organic” list (based on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen). This list includes the top fruits and veggies to prioritize when making the decision to purchase organic produce.
Aldi offers both organic and conventional produce options. The organic selection at the Aldi I visited was very limited. If organic produce is a priority, shopping from the Buy Organic list (see above) is the best option. If organic produce isn’t a priority, a customer could find enough produce at Aldi to feed a family without the need to visit another store.
The meat selection at the Aldi I visited was limited. After glancing at the small meat section I didn’t think finding pastured or grass-fed meat was a reasonable expectation, but I was wrong. Aldi sells grass-fed ground beef. This beef isn’t from one particular farm, rather multiple countries: Australia, Uruguay, and the United States.
Aldi also sells Nature Raised Farms whole chickens, along with breasts and thighs. This chicken is 100% vegetarian fed, which is red flag for me since that phrase usually means the hens spend zero time outside eating bugs. Chickens aren’t vegetarians! This is a common label on chicken packages in conventional stores, and unless you have a good source for pastured chickens, the vegetarian status can be a hard one to get away from. This doesn’t just apply to Aldi.
I didn’t see any wild-caught seafood at the store I visited.
My recommendation for purchasing dairy from Aldi is to read the labels! The best dairy options I found were: block cheese, organic cheese slices, imported parmesan cheese blocks, and salted butter (this isn’t organic, but it’s the best butter option I could find). Just because one product has a clean ingredient list doesn’t mean a similar product under the same name will be just as clean. Reading labels is crucial in the dairy department. According to blogger friends, some stores offer a larger organic dairy department, including organic raw milk cheese.
This was the first store in this series that doesn’t sell grass-fed or organic butter.
Aldi sells low-fat organic yogurt in tubs. Both yogurt selections I looked at contained concerning ingredients, one of which was aspartame.
This department may vary with stores and regions. This observation is based off my shopping experience at the Aldi in my area.
If you need to purchase milk from Aldi I recommend purchasing nuts (a great product to buy from Aldi!) to make homemade nut milk. The milk selection is either ultra-pasteurized or filled with carrageenan (dairy-free alternatives).
While most of the time my kids drink water, Aldi sells juice boxes (and large containers) that contain real juice. These come in handy for classroom parties or events where juice is requested. Of course, these are a treat and, in my opinion, should be treated as treats–used for special occasions.
A real food drink option at Aldi is the sparkling water. Sparkling water can be expensive, but Aldi offers a very affordable price! When I need something fizzy (other than kombucha), this is my go-to drink. Aldi also sells coffee, even a fair-trade option.
PS: Sour cream isn’t a drink. It just needed a good photo spot ;). This sour cream only contains two ingredients.
Yes, you’ll find junk food at Aldi, but real food options abound throughout the store. I was impressed with the real food pantry selections. Again, it’s important to read the labels!
The selection of dry goods I found at Aldi includes: organic tomatoes (canned), virgin coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, dried herbs, organic sugar, rice, dry beans, canned beans, pure maple syrup, gluten-free pasta, raw nuts (my favorite find) and dried fruit (the dried fruit contains added sugar), rolled oats, steel cut oats, salsa, organic applesauce, jam, pure vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, flax and chia seeds, organic honey, 100% pumpkin puree, and active dry yeast. I’ve listed my favorite items in the printable shopping guide.
Aldi doesn’t have a large selection of DIY ingredients. I only found vinegar and baking soda.
The bottle pictured on the right was my favorite DIY find. It’s not an ingredient, but the bottle caught my eye! While the ingredients aren’t horrible and the soda could be enjoyed as a treat, my goal is to use the bottle for making kombucha or storing liquid DIY projects. At only $2, this bottle was quite the find!
Finally, let’s talk about the “better” processed food options. Here are a few options I found for treats/convenience foods at Aldi: Squeeze fruit pouches, Fit & Active Fruit Strips, Simply Nature Lightly Salted popcorn (Non-GMO), Simply Nature Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (Non-GMO), salsa, and Go Raw Trail Mix.
Thank you so much for joining me for this shopping series! Click on the image below to download and print your shopping guide.
P.S. Congratulations on your beautiful new kitchen.
Thank you so much, Ardith! I’m loving the new kitchen :).
I’m so glad you enjoyed the shopping series! Thank you for sharing your experience with Aldi–sounds very similar to my first visit.
Our local Aldi sometimes does a week of sales where more organic products are available–when I asked about making them available full-time, the employee I spoke with told me that when they do those sales, it’s kind of a test-run to see if the organic products will sell in that store. We used to only get the grass-fed ground beef during special sales, but now it’s available all the time, so they do stock the products that they see selling. It also varies somewhat by region–my SIL in Illinois can get curry powder at her Aldi, for example, but it’s not stocked in ours (in FL).
The box thing must differ from store to store–ours always has boxes available to grab if you forget your bags. And it has a huge bagging shelf along one wall so you can stop and bag your groceries so you don’t have to do it by your car. Another practical thing to be aware of is that Aldi doesn’t take credit cards or checks (at least, ours doesn’t)–cash, debit, and EBT, that’s it. No coupons either.
What I end up doing is going to Aldi first to get the cheaper staples there as well as any sale or seasonal items unique to that store, then stopping at Publix on the way home to fill in the gaps (milk, for example).
Thank you for sharing! I heard Aldi was testing their organic line, possibly thinking about expanding the Simply Nature line if there was enough interest. That would be amazing if this happens! I wondered if the grass-fed beef was a limited time selection–it’s good to hear that Aldi sells it year round.
Ah yes, the payment threw me off. I tried to pay with my Mastercard Debit and process it as credit, but it was denied–which kinda concerned me at first. The cashier explained that I had to process it as a debit. and this is one way they keep their costs down. Thank you for brining this up–it’s really good for people to be aware of this before shopping.
Hey there! Great series. Thanks for all your efforts. There are a few different Aldi stores in my area and their stock does vary some. Some of the quirks have been easy to get used to for or family especially since they help keep the prices low. At least they are comparably low where we are. Also, staff at every Aldi in our area is wonderful. Once I had rushed and had all my kids with me and left a packed full bag of groceries on the packing shelf. Weird but was two days before I realized it. I called and they said they had held it but that morning finally restocked it all. They asked me to come back and in good faith welcomed me to grab what I remembered was in the bag and take it home. I had no receipt, they just extended grace. Something like that will win me over for sure!
Thank you! I really enjoyed visiting all the stores. I was so encouraged by availability of real food options.
Thank you for sharing your experience! The employees at the store I visited were so friendly and helpful, too! I’m so happy to you hear they are such a customer-friendly store.
Thank you, Kristin! Amazingly thorough.
Here in the UK, Aldi is up and coming. It has gained top spot in the national customer ratings for best supermarket and best supermarket for meat for the last two years, so that prompted me to give it a go. For UK readers, do try the meat section – we don’t have such a problem with finding pasture-raised meats as you evidently do in the US, as that’s the normal method for us, but there is a whole UK meat section if you’re concerned about miles travelled, and whether the meat is free range, organic, etc, is clearly marked. We have had some bargains there, for example a Christmas goose for £20, bred and raised within 50 miles.
Hey Angela, I had no idea Aldi had ventured across the Atlantic. That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing.
That’s interesting about the meat. The American food industry is so overrun by big food companies (not that big is bad) with poor animal ethics. This makes finding good meat in stores a very difficult task! Thankfully, I’ve noticed a trend as consumers start to demand better food, companies are starting to stock a small supply of better meat. I hope the US food industry will soon catch up with the UK and European countries!
Aldi started across the Atlantic. It first opened in Germany in the 1940’s. I grew up in Germany and shopped there as a kid.
Wanted to thank you, again, for this series. I am surprised by this Aldi’s report. I used to shop there, but stopped when I went to gluten and dairy free eating. This post has me thinking its time to try it again.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this series. I’ve saved every shopping list you’ve shared. So very helpful.
Hey Dorothy, I was pleasantly surprised by the food items, particularly the dry goods, found at my local Aldi. It’s definitely a resource to check out, again. I’m so glad the series has been helpful!!
Great series and I am sad it’s come to the end. Aldi is another nearby option and I was hoping you would give it a real food review. Funny thing, here where I live we have a store at the opposite spectrum, they don’t take cash only credit debit or gift cards. I guess you have to carve out a niche market where you can when competitors are exploding on every corner. Whole Foods Market has done a wonderful thing for consumers raising the bar for which everyone else is now reaching for and this is good thing indeed.
I grew up on Aldi but they certainly weren’t real food back then. We go most weeks for special items. My kids especially love the no sugar added applesauce cups that come in various flavored through the year. We also just discovered their La Croix and love it!
Just a heads up that not everything Simply Nature line is organic but they are definitely cleaner.
Very good to know, Helen! Thank you for sharing!
Hello Kristin. I just found your blog today while looking for natural beauty products. I kept reading a lot of your different posts and I had a comment about the seafood choices at Aldi. I understand that your goal is to eat clean, but I’m also big into sustainable seafood. I utilize the Seafood Watch app that is maintained by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. There are farm raised options, but some times these are the best options for the species. I just wanted to clue you in to this resource. Aldi is one of the best and easiest to shop for sustainable seafood among local grocery stores.
Hey Anna Pierce, Thank you for sharing! The Seafood Watch app is a great tip–thank you for sharing! Our Aldi didn’t offer much in the seafood “department” so I’m glad to hear this is different at other Aldi stores across the country!
Kristen, I am just in awe of your site! The information is incredibly helpful and all the graphics are just stunning! I’m starting my trek through these real food finds and I love that you included Aldi. It was an absolute staple growing up and I have really enjoyed shopping there as a young wife with a husband still in school. We love the prices and it’s so great to know that there is REAL FOOD! I usually do not buy meat at Aldi (mostly because my parents never did) so I didn’t even think to look for a grass-fed option. Can’t wait to check it out and use the download!
Thank you so much, Rachel! It’s so great to hear that Live Simply has been so helpful so far. I was really impressed with Aldi, and the grass-fed beef option is a major plus for Aldi shoppers. I’ve heard they also sell a good almond milk option now!
Kristin, I can attest to the no photographs rule. I completely forgot you mentioned that & of course, I got busted. Ready for this? The policeman on duty asked why I taking pictures – of course I explained my budgeting but was horrified! He laughed & mentioned the corporate espionage thing, that there was a local store sending people over. He was so sweet about it but I felt terrible. So, there you have it – no cameras in Aldi!
Wow, that’s crazy, Carolyn! We tried for weeks and weeks to get permission from corporate, but we never got much of a response other than “no cameras!”. I was a bit surprised since there are so many posts online with “illegal” (I’m guessing ;)) photos from Aldi. I’m glad everything worked out!
That’s so great, Peggie!! Thank you for sharing.
I love your blog. Thank you for sharing your story and experience.
I was quite surprised at your Aldi post. I live on the west coast of Scotland and even though we have an Aldi, it is nothing like yours. I don’t actually shop there anymore as I don’t like their produce or their meat. Although most of the goods are Scottish, I am yet to see any organic ones. Their meat or eggs aren’t marked “free range” (which they are at Lidl, Lidl also has an organic week every so often). Maybe it’s just due to the size of the store (not the biggest, it’s only a small town). Very interesting post anyhow. Thank you.

"The 2nd annual Linux audio software conference took place again at the wonderful ZKM (Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnology) in Karlsruhe, Germany, from April 29 through May 2. Last year's conference was successful enough to acquire greater sponsorship this year, with significant contribution from ZKM itself and SuSE. Community support was much expanded, with more than 30 presentations and workshops, four concerts, a dance and a final round-table discussion.
"Given the necessary restrictions of publication, it is not possible to relate more than a superficial account of the conference, so I limit myself here to enumerating the topics and giving brief reports where applicable..."

Something seems to be wrong with the admin reporting regarding instructors/students and showing which courses they are instructors of or are enrolled in.
the section "Enrolled Courses" says "No Courses Found"
"Courses" is listed as 0 even though they are shown as instructors inside the "Course Setup Step 3"
I tested it on my end and yes I can replicate the issue. The new selected site with BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE has a problem about CoursePress. I've reported this bug to our developers, so they will provide a new plugin version or a hotfix.
Could you tell me whether this issue has been fixed in 2.1.1? Don't see it mentioned in the changelog.
If not when could we expect a hot fix?
There's also a more serious issue that it also affects students on the front end not just admin.
"You are not enrolled in any courses.. See available courses."
As far as I can see in our internal bug tracking service, there's still no fix.
I've already updated our report with your latest findings though, and asked about the progress of this. I really can't provide an estimated time for a hotfix or next release that will resolve that.
Me or another colleague of mine will keep you posted here, as soon as we've got some valuable insights.

In this white paper, I hope you will find useful information on how physical security can support the security needs of network operations centers (NOCs) and data centers (DCs). In many of my consulting assignments doing enterprise security reviews, I have seen serious physical security problems; I hope that this overview will help fill in some of the missing information.
Physical security looks at aspects of the environment in which we work and where we place network components. If you’re planning to build a new computer center or relocate your existing equipment to an existing building, you have an opportunity to make your building work for you instead of against you. By picking the right combination of location, structure and layout, you can decrease your vulnerability while increasing the usability and maintainability of your equipment.
We’ll start with cases where we have a choice of placement for our facilities.
If you’re starting from basics, you can consider the geographical location of your new site. Study long-term weather patterns, including frequency of heavy winds (e.g., tornadoes, hurricanes, and monsoons), snow, and lightning. Unless you’re devoted to a life of great excitement, the likelihood of earthquakes should play a role when siting a major data center.
One fine spring day, as I drove to a data center where I was due to start a security audit, I noticed a field of enormous storage tanks on my left. It looked like a science fiction movie: row upon row of spheres and cylinders holding millions of liters of gasoline, diesel fuel and home heating oil. I was startled to find, upon following my directions, that the data center was directly across the road, no more than 200 meters away.
As I parked my car, I noticed a freight rail road crossing diagonally immediately behind the building. The tracks were still bright, so the railway was still in active use.
Finally, just as I was about to enter the building, I heard a passenger jet screaming across the sky just above, flaps out, heading for a landing at the regional airport.
Now that was a poorly situated data center.
· new or planned building activity (the vibration of pile drivers will harm your systems).
How easy would it be to reach the site in an emergency?
· Is there redundant road access?
· Are there several sources of help to fight fires?
· Is there police support and emergency rescue within easy reach?
Examine the socio-economic profile of the proposed location.
· Are there poor areas around the site?
· What’s the crime rate?
· Is it improving or declining?
Perhaps instead of running away from a troubled area, we can help improve the socioeconomic conditions there by providing work, support for schools, and volunteer efforts to support other social action.
Whatever you decide, be sure to re-evaluate your physical location periodically and take appropriate action to protect your corporate resources.
In the March 1993 session (Atlanta, GA) of the Information Systems Security course I taught, a participant reported that a major company installed millions of dollars of computer equipment, electrical power conditioners and air conditioners on the 11th floor of an office tower. One Monday morning, the staff arrived to discover no 11th floor--and no 10th floor--and no 9th floor. The company had neglected to consult a structural engineer before loading the building with all that equipment. Luckily, no one was hurt in the collapse; however, damages ran over $100 million.
Access to the computer center should allow easy installation of equipment yet protect that equipment and its operators against physical assault. The ground floor seems too easy to attack; underground is susceptible to flooding. In the movie “Die Hard,” we see a Hollywood conception of a computer center: near the top of an office tower and entirely surrounded by glass. Since some computer equipment (or support equipment such as large-scale air-conditioning units) is larger than freight elevators can handle, the units have to be lifted into place using building cranes. The higher the computer center, the more expensive the crane. In case of fire, there may be a longer lead time for your staff to shut off the equipment and make their way to safety than if they’re high up in a sky-scraper.
The second floor seems like a good compromise.
Place the network center or computer room far from hazardous areas. One story circulating in the security field tells of a security auditor in the U.K. who wondered about the vibrations he felt in his feet every now and then. “Oh that?” responded the data center manager, “That’s just the lorries with the petrol.” The computer room was directly over the passageway through which trucks carrying fuel oil regularly rumbled. Not a low risk situation.
High security vaults are required by law to have no external walls. That is, they are completely inside their building with corridors completely surrounding them. This design makes it much more difficult to punch holes into the data center without having anyone notice. And in case you doubt that a frontal assault on a computer center is likely, some automatic teller machines have been removed holus bolus by thieves operating back hoes and forklifts (it does make one wonder about why no one thought it odd to see a forklift trundling along with an ATM in the middle of the night).
When I was teaching in Africa in the 1970s, I recall thieves simply ramming their way into houses with trucks or cutting through the roof to enter secured buildings. And back in the Spring of 1995, one of the participants in an online “Computer Crime and Countermeasures” course told us about how a series of smash and grab attacks had been made on a local company known to have installed large numbers of new workstations. The criminals simply crashed through the wall and made off with the equipment in the minutes before the police could respond to building alarms. Maddeningly, the criminals apparently watched and waited until the victims had replaced all the equipment and did it again! They were dissuaded from further repetitions by having a 24 hour guard mounted on the site.
One of the perpetual debates in INFOSEC is the value (or worthlessness) of what practitioners call “security through obscurity.” The question is whether one can improve security by hiding information. For example, does it help to hide the details of an encryption product so that no one can easily find the algorithm? Dr Dorothy Denning enunciated what many of us call Denning’s Law: that the strength of a cryptographic algorithm must not depend on its secrecy. A corollary of Denning’s Law is that the validity of an implementation of a strong cryptographic algorithm can best be evaluated when the details of that implementation are accessible. In other words, distrust proprietary implementations of cryptography – there may be mistakes concealed in the object code that would leap out at (and be fixed) if the source code were made available for inspection.
Well, it’s a long way from cryptography to building layout and physical security, but there is a connection. Some aspects of the layout may fruitfully be concealed to make the job of the attacker harder; however, some of the information about buildings ought to be available to improve emergency response.
Specifically, once you’ve built the computer room, be sure the local fire department knows exactly where it is. Keep your plans, including layout, up to date and coordinate with the fire marshals in your municipality.
However, there is no reason to mark the computer room with special neon flashers that read, “THIS WAY TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF VULNERABLE EQUIPMENT.” When I led a delegation of Japanese data center managers to visit the headquarters of EDS Inc. in Dallas in 1991, I was much struck by the anonymity of the equipment rooms. We walked through immense corridors with identical, boring metal doors, each marked with a numbering scheme. They all looked as if they could be broom closets. Then we’d open one up and find vast gleaming, sterile chambers of white tiles with and filled with huge CPUs – silent titans standing in rows with blinking red and green eyes. Today, I suppose, the same processing power would fit into someone’s desk and look like a boring little box with a few holes and slots scattered around the surface.
The theory was that anyone who needed to know where the computers were knew where they were; why help anyone else locate such an inviting target?
Within your data center, try to put separate functions in different compartments. For example, keep printers away from consoles, disk drives, processors, patch panels and server racks: the paper is a fire hazard and the paper dust gets into your air filters.
To ensure that you don’t wipe our your backups if there is a disaster in your NOC or DC, put tape vaults and data safes far away from your disk drives. However, you can reasonably have a local fire-proof safe or vault for the convenience of operators as long as the tapes stored there are not your latest backups.
Put your access-control equipment into a separate, high-security area, not with the rest of the computers. Security measures should reflect the potential exposure (consequences) of compromise; since access to the security equipment compromises everything else, it makes sense to guard it even more strongly than other components of your networks and systems.
Position your phone switches away from the computer room so that a single attack cannot put your entire operation into jeopardy. This suggestion follows the principle of reducing the number of single points of failure – more humbly known as not putting all our eggs in one basket.
The lower the traffic through a secure perimeter, the lower the risk of failure. Accordingly, try to keep your operations personnel comfortable inside the secure areas surrounding your equipment as much as possible; for example, include rest rooms, eating areas and office space for the staff who run your production systems within a tightly-controlled space inside the perimeter. This recommendation does not mean that you should forbid staff from leaving the secured area on their off time – that’s their perfect right. However, the availability of such facilities will be convenient for some of the staff some of the time and will contribute to lowering the risk of intrusion and increase the speed of response to emergencies in the NOC or DC.
When I was in Africa in 1976-1978 teaching at the Université nationale du Rwanda in Butare, Rwanda, I remember thieves used to enter the houses of the rich abazungu (foreigners) by ripping the doors from the walls using pickup trucks and chains. This experience greatly influenced my view of the importance of walls, doors and windows for security: they are weak spots in the perimeter.
Finally, if your security needs are usually high (or if you have been watching too many action movies), talk to your architect about the design of the outermost walls of your building. Avoid chases (decorative indentations on the side) and other features such as rusticated stone that could make it easier for assailants to use mountain climbing techniques to climb your building.
Have as few doors as possible. You must know and obey all the safety regulations which mandate the number of exits you must include for protection of human life. Your architect will know what the law requires. However, only one door should be used for entry and normal exit. All the others should be used as emergency exits only. All doors should be equipped with crash bars and alarms and decorated accordingly. You can even buy signs that read, “DOOR IS ALARMED,” (which always make me want to pat the door and reassure it that everything will be OK).
Choose heat-resistant doors (solid metal or thick metal with a structurally-sound core) and avoid any glass if at all possible. If safety regulations require glass panels to prevent smashed noses, insist on multiply-laminated bullet-proof, shatterproof small panels. Glass is a weak point anywhere in the secured area.
Installing a door that would make your local bank proud will be pointless if the frame is so weak that it – and the door – can be pried out of the wall with a crowbar. Door frames should be anchored solidly in the wall; if possible, bonded to the structural members of the wall. Door hinges should be on the inside of the secure area so they can’t be dismantled. Choose hinge pins that are welded into place – not the ones that can be unscrewed and removed by anyone with a home tool kit.
Protect door locks with astragals (a lovely word meaning the edge-plates that prevent nasty folk from inserting credit cards, screwdrivers and chisels into the latch and forcing the door open). I have seen many sites which use astragals which extend from top to bottom of the door to provide maximum protection.
Don’t use motion or simple proximity sensors to unlock or open doors into secure areas. Sliding doors controlled by such sensors – like those used in many public buildings – can generally be opened from the outside simply by pushing a sheet of paper through the rubber gaskets and waving it about.
Don’t put windows in your network and data centers. I’ve already pointed out that there should be no outer walls in your computer room, let alone windows. Windows are physically weak; their frames are weak; and they let too many people see how you’ve laid our your equipment – including your security equipment.
I recall one manufacturing site where I stopped next to the floor-to-ceiling windows around the computer console room and stared at the five meter banner on the wall. It had huge numbers printed on it. I asked, “That’s not the main modem number, is it?” Yup. So much for dial-in security.
If you cannot get approval to remove the windows in your computer room, install vertical blinds and keep them closed all the time except when there are important official visitors pressing their noses to the glass. Install security glazing (shatterproof metal-reinforced glass), and perhaps gratings securely attached to the walls. Install breakage sensors and connect them to the main building alarm systems. Aim motion sensors and closed-circuit television cameras at the windows. Move equipment whose presence should be secret away from the windows. Install a few dummy security cameras and motion sensors just to keep spies and intruders guessing.
There are a couple of other reasons why high-security sites do not permit windows in their NOCs and DCs. An obvious point is that external windows offer opportunities for snipers to attack individuals. More subtly, windows vibrate as people talk; using laser interferometers, it is possible to measure those vibrations and reconstitute the sound waves that caused the vibrations. Thus an exterior window provides an easy way for industrial or other spies to eavesdrop on conversations from an observation post far away in another building. However, don’t try to persuade your top officials to give up their corner offices – some advice is just too unpleasant to bother presenting to upper management when the risks are low. I think that such advice might get you sent to the staff psychiatrist in most organizations.
What might work is to suggest that a window-rich office is perhaps not the best place to discuss top-secret strategic plans with catastrophic consequences of unexpected disclosure. People talking about make-or-break information would do well to do so in sealed rooms with no windows. The key is to be reasonable and not to apply security rules unthinkingly.
Practically all offices these days have drop ceilings; i.e., acoustic tiles are suspended from the actual ceiling. This design provides for a place where electrical and communications wiring can be laid out of sight. This crawl space must not extend without interruption into the data center. Within the data center, the drop ceiling should include smoke, heat and water sensors. This is especially important when there are other floors above the NOC or DC and there is a possibility of water leakage.
Most information processing centers have raised floors because of all the cabling and power cords required for processing equipment and peripherals. The floor tiles are laid on a framework about 18 inches (~50 cm) off the actual floor. These tiles must be fire-resistant, easy to keep clean, and strong enough for the loads that will be placed on them. For access to the under-floor area, the tiles are raised using suction cups. Perforated tiles are part of the air-conditioning and fire-suppression systems and are raised using hooks.
The under-floor area must be kept scrupulously clean. Gas-based fire-suppression systems discharge high-pressure gas through the under-floor. If that area is dusty, the entire computer room will be filled with a cloud of dirt when the gas discharges.
In some cases, operators have used the under-floor as a storage area, sometimes for things that don’t belong in the computer room at all (e.g., in one case I personally noted, soda pop). Such foreign objects interfere with the air-conditioning system and cause access problems in emergencies.
In recent years, computer equipment has become increasingly tolerant of environmental conditions. Midrange and many mainframe computers are now air-cooled, survive temperatures from cold to hot, and run on regular 110V current. Nevertheless, some people abuse their systems. Some years ago, while I was hanging my coat in a hall closet one day on a visit to a client, I noticed blinking green and red lights down among the boots and galoshes. I moved some heavy winter coats out of the way and discovered a network server. Startled, I asked my host what it was doing in an unprotected hall closet. It seems that they ran out of room in the computer center and the server was installed in the hallway. “It doesn’t need special conditions,” he chirped. No, but its on/off switch was open to anyone who wanted to try bringing the network down, and I doubt that the engineers had planned on seeing their design spattered with mud, water and salt.
In many smaller organizations, I have noted with dismay that electrical power cord extensions are looped helter-skelter around the bottoms of desks and partitions. Aside from the problem of tripping over these cords and crashing wildly about one’s office, these folks run the risk of unplugging their own computer, causing an occurrence of the notorious power-cord-out-of-the-socket “virus” that occasionally amuses technical support staff.
A related problem with poor wiring practices is that many users and even some NOC managers don’t label their cables. The consequences are most serious when people have to move their equipment; either they spend precious time under pressure trying to label their gear or they just unplug everything and hope they get everything right when they reassemble their systems.
Sometimes people plug their computer systems into a power bar in their neighbor’s cubicle without informing anyone. When the neighbor innocently cuts the power on their own system by hitting the main switch on the power bar, the electricity-borrower has a power failure too. Another problem occurs when people run out of sockets in their cubicles and decide to lay an extension cord out into a hallway to tap into a handy socket there – and naturally, without bothering to label the wires. These arrangements inevitably result in what ought to be a predictable loss of power when a building cleaner innocently unplugs the power cable to power their floor polisher.
· Don’t subject your valuable, sensitive and critical equipment to inappropriate environmental stresses.
· Organize your equipment cables so that they don’t tangle each other or passers-by.
· Label your cables clearly using color coded tape or printed labels.
· If you must use electrical outlets outside your immediate control, lock the plugs into place if possible or at least label them clearly so that others don’t inadvertently cut power to your systems.
No electricity, no computing. Given that simple principle, it makes sense to have good electrical power and a mechanism for working without external power – at least, long enough to allow a graceful shutdown (in contrast with losing everything that was in RAM when the power stopped).
According to research by field service organizations as far back as the 1980s, almost half of all service calls on PCs are related to bad electrical power. Power fluctuations such as brownouts (transient low voltage), spikes (transient over voltage) and line noise (waveform deformations) can physically damage sensitive electronic equipment. Even surges on phone lines can damage modems and PC boards. At a very minimum, nobody should be running a computer without a surge suppressor in the power circuit; the cost is negligible compared to the assurance that a fuse wire will melt or a breaker will trip instead of having your precious equipment do the melting and breaking.
Power outages cause down time, but the more serious threat is that power interruptions during a critical phase of posting data to disk will cause data corruption. If a disk drive goes down while data are being written into a file, one or more records can be damaged. Parity checks or cyclic redundancy codes on the disks can usually pick up and sometimes correct errors. However, if the computer is updating a directory structure when the power disappears, there can be serious trouble. Directory structures include database or file indexes and system directories such as the DOS File Allocation Table (FAT). Damaging even a small part of these structures may make large amounts of data inaccessible. Recovery of data may require painstaking retrieval of section (cluster, sector) after section of individual files.
Luckily, in recent years more operations are using fail-safe disks (e.g., RAID, Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) with automatic mirroring and recovery. The occurrence of irrecoverable disk errors is low in such systems.
Midrange and mainframe computers have long had their own internal electrical-power conditioners and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). Less powerful, less expensive systems did not. However, users have placed critical applications on servers, work stations and microcomputers; alternative power supplies and line conditioners are now required components for most production systems – and if you depend on your data and your PC to accomplish whatever you consider critically important, then your system is a production system.
UPSs run the power from the mains into a transformer which keeps batteries charged; output power comes from direct current (DC) rectifiers which convert the battery power into alternating current (AC). UPSs provide excellent-quality power and good insulation from power-line fluctuations.
For PCs, work stations and servers, UPS units in the 0.4-1.2 KVA (kilovolt-ampere) range are sufficient; they range in cost from about $75 for a little device about the size of a large surge-suppressor that gives you just enough time to shut a PC down gracefully to over $1,000 for a sizable unit that can power your entire office. Keep in mind that you have to plan for peak loads, not just the average power drain. Big laser printers, for example, can run at 700 watts while warming up yet function on standby at a mere 100 watts. Older, physically larger disk drives take much more power while spinning up than while running normally. However, modern tiny, ultra-dense drives (e.g., 500 GB on a 1.5” spindle) require so little power anyway that they’re no longer an issue.
In my office, I run two 0.9 KVA UPSs connected to a power conditioner. All my essential gear is connected to the UPSs: processor towers, monitor, phone, and even one lamp. I don’t put the printers or the stereo system on the UPS. Many people will deliberately exclude their printers from the calculations for their proposed UPS. They can live without the printer when it loses power. At worst, given the automatic spooling that’s normal on modern operating systems, they may have a single damaged page to reprint when they start the job up from the spool files.
The less load you put on the UPS, the longer it will last during the power outage. If you’re lucky you will not only be able to avoid catastrophic errors but may even keep working productively until the power comes back.
The size of the batteries in your UPS and the drain by your systems determine how long the UPS can keep your system going. At a minimum, you need time for a graceful shutdown; five minutes is ample to allow you and your users to exit from application systems and shut down all peripherals and processors. If there is a reason to continue operating your system during a power failure (e.g., to protect the security computer that controls your physical access control systems), you may have to order extra batteries (for hours of operation) or a generator (for continuous operation as long as the fuel lasts).
Not all UPSs allow for addition of extra batteries, so examine the specifications carefully if you are thinking of providing extended run-times. Some systems are made to be completely customizable, with rack-mounted batteries that you can order and add at any time without fuss.
Just in case anyone reading this has the bright idea of hooking up one UPS to another, don’t. The second law of thermodynamics ensures that all you will do is waste the battery power of the first unit as you try to charge the second one. You can run two or more UPSs in parallel – as when you attach different equipment to different UPSs.
It’s a good idea to do a dry run with your new UPS: you really want to have a clear idea of just how long you are going to have once the external power fails. I have timed how long I can run without external power: almost exactly 30 minutes for my setup. At that point, the tolerable repeating beep from the UPS turns into an annoying whine; I save my work to disk, exit from my application, fire up the file transfer software and get the current working documents over onto my portable computer so I can keep working once all the power is down. Then I immediately shut down the main system.
If you use only a portable computer, you already have a UPS: your batteries. With three batteries for my portable, I can count on around 10 to 15 hours of continuous (well, occasionally interrupted for battery exchange) operation. In my office, though, I don’t need to worry about that limit: I also have a 7 KVA electrical generator that supplies my house and office. Now, you have to understand that this is not a general recommendation for everybody’s home office; I live out in farmland northeast of Montpelier, Vermont, and we can have power outages lasting days when the ice breaks the power lines. Worse still, we have a 130-gallon tropical fish tank that cannot fall below 75 F without starting to kill our fish. The $1500 generator and the $1,000 wiring job to put in a transfer switch just made sense for us. More to the point for this article, I definitely can run the portable computer’s power transformer from the generator power without problem.
For larger, more critical applications, you should evaluate large-scale UPSs which can be hooked into your office or building electrical system. Systems for loads ranging into the hundreds of KVA can cost from $2,000 up into the $100,000 range. Some units include gasoline or diesel generators and heavy-duty flywheels or large isolation transformers to smooth out the rough waveform of the generators’ output.
Never run electronic equipment directly from generators without checking the power quality carefully. If you have the gear in-house, you can check power quality directly with the appropriate power-line monitors. Otherwise, see if your friendly neighborhood computer supplier has a power-line monitor they use for site qualification studies. When I worked for Hewlett Packard in the early 1980s, we would routinely install a monitor that printed out reports on the fluctuations in power to determine if we would allow our precious equipment to be installed without an external power conditioner. The reason: long experience had taught HP that bad power equals increased repair calls – and with a fixed-cost service contract, you can understand how seriously we took this kind of environmental report card.
Ordinary household generators of the kind sold in hardware stores for your country cabin can destroy your computer equipment within seconds. In my case, I discovered that the household generator I use has such a jagged (sawtooth) waveform that it could not be used to supply my UPS without a power conditioner.
The manufacturer explained that they have had trouble hooking domestic generators up to their equipment unless the generator is running at no more than one-third its rated capacity. In other words, in order to use their equipment, we are expected to buy a generator three times larger than we would normally expect to need. I was not pleased, but I didn’t replace my generator, either.
Keep these problems in mind if you are shopping for a generator and avoid the hassles of trying to hook up incompatible devices.
Common sense (as well as workplace safety regulations) dictates that you install adequate emergency lighting for all work areas and escape routes. After the bombs exploded in the World Trade Center in New York in February 1993, thousands of people had to feel their way through smoke-filled, pitch-black stairwells. It seems the emergency lighting system was controlled by computers that had been blown up by the explosion in the parking garage. Independent lights with their own batteries would have saved time and reduced injury in that disaster. Portable flashlights supplied to emergency marshals would have helped, too.
Now that you’ve spent all this money on electrical power equipment, how about protecting it all from tampering? Keep all electrical junction boxes, breaker panels and main switches under lock and key. In one hospital information security evaluation a decade ago, I recall bringing the head of the intensive care unit into the hallway and pointing at a panel on the wall. “What’s that?” I asked. She shrugged and said, “I dunno; an electrical panel, I guess.” “Open it,” I said. She did (it was unlocked). When she saw the labels on the breakers her pupils dilated and she looked horrified: those breakers controlled the precious equipment in her ICU – respirators, controlled-injection pumps for intravenous drips, heart monitors, external heart pacemakers – the works. If someone had tripped those unguarded, unprotected breakers, some of her patients would have died instantly. Moral: if you care about your electrical power, you have to protect junction panels just as strongly as any other component in the circuit.
If you have to install additional power cables, ensure that they’re pulled through protective ducts or manifolds, not left lying about in the suspended ceilings where anyone can get at them. And document all the switches and breakers correctly and readably so that people can make intelligent decisions in an emergency.
Label your UPS and power conditioners plainly with warning signs to prevent unauthorized equipment from being added to the circuits. In the May 1993 session of one of my Information Systems Security courses, a participant reported that an operator plugged a vacuum cleaner into the nearest electrical outlet, overloaded the UPS, and took down the LAN for a few minutes. That nearest outlet happened to be in the server’s UPS, but the staff member had no idea that there was anything special about that outlet. You can’t blame people for errors when you’ve failed to provide both training and proper labeling.
It is especially important that the EPO shut down the power to your air conditioning equipment in case of a fire: ventilating an area threatened by fires is a really bad idea.
In one apartment building where I lived many years ago, a visitor had trouble opening the electrically-operated door and therefore pulled the nearest handy lever – the fire alarm. To prevent this sort of error, label panic switches clearly; e.g., “MASTER POWER CUTOFF.” In general, my experience running a large data center convinced me that every single switch, electrical receptacle, and data communications plug ought to be labeled understandably and clearly. I don’t think you can easily overdo labeling inside an operations center.
Keep fuses handy in all the right sizes for all your electrical gear, including the power supplies. Make sure that your staff knows exactly where those fuses are kept. Run drills to make sure that their response to an electrical emergency is exactly what you have decided makes the most sense.
Every time you order modifications to the electrical system or find out that your building is having such modifications, be sure to check that the grounding is correct. Especially when your midrange or mainframe systems use three-phase power, it’s crucial that the correct wires carry the ground. While you’re at it, verify that your building is properly grounded in case of lightning strikes. This precaution is especially important throughout the great plains of North America.
What would you do in case one of your colleagues touched a live 120V wire and their hand clenched rigidly onto the power source? If you don’t know instantly, you have a problem; I suggest you also ask your colleagues to find out if the problem is widespread in your organization. Not knowing what to do in such an emergency could cost one of your friends his or her life.
One hopes that there would be an easy way to cut the power: that’s one of the purposes of the panic button we discussed in the last contribution to this sub-series.
But if someone were in the process of being electrocuted in your computer room and for some reason you didn’t have a panic button, what would you use to move them off the live wires? You’re supposed to use a non-conductor such as wood or plastic. Some data centers have a wooden cane for this purpose hung on the wall along with fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment. Don’t forget to train your staff, though, or the cane will simply sit on the wall while several people electrocute each other in turn. And issue a firm injunction against all Charlie Chaplin imitations during working hours.
If for some reason you want to shut off your computer equipment automatically or to shutdown and start it up remotely, you can install inexpensive switches to do both. There are even switches with serial ports that allow a computer to send a signal which will power down all systems on the switch. Thus your system could shut itself off at the end of its nighttime processing.
Contrariwise, there are switches that sit on the phone line; when they sense a modem or FAX signal, they can turn on the power to whatever equipment you connect to them. For those people who insist on powering off their equipment overnight, some switches can even be programmed with a timer so that your system can be up and running in the morning when you arrive at work.
However, it is my understanding that shutting off the power to computer equipment is not recommended unless you intend to leave it off for an unusual length of time. The way it was explained to me by an electrical engineer is that the repeated thermal contractions and expansions caused by powering off computer systems actually causes more harm than simply leaving everything on standby. One of the consequences of the shrink/expand cycles seems to be that improperly-installed chips with cold-solder joints can actually work themselves loose enough to start causing intermittent problems. This advice was bolstered by the study to which I alluded earlier, in which a large firm with several thousand PCs that were divided into always-on and shut-off-at-night groups. The study supposedly showed that powering down at night and powering up in the morning was correlated with increased hardware problems.
Concentrations of computer system equipment (host processors, LAN servers, disk drives, system printers, tape backups, multiplexers, and so on) can use so much energy that regular office air-conditioning (A/C) fails to dissipate the heat. Ideally, temperatures in your computer center should be 66-73 F (19-23 C). Midrange and mainframe systems still produce so much heat that A/C failure can rapidly lead to high temperatures.
Each component of your computer system usually has its own temperature sensor that can cut off power at the upper end of the temperature range. In addition, computer rooms have their own global thermostats and cutoff switches.
In the data center where I worked as Director of Technical Services in the mid-1980s, an A/C unit failed one day. A new operator noticed the rising temperature but didn’t realize the cause. He looked about for the room thermostat and noticed a temperature dial in the ceiling. It was set at 90 F (32 C). He turned it down to 70 F (21 C) and immediately lost power all over the computer room. He had changed the overtemp power cutoff.
That day, we labeled every single dial and switch in the computer room.
Relative humidity should be maintained from about 45 to 55% to prevent static electricity buildup (if too dry) and condensation or curling paper (if too humid).
Air pressure in the computer center should be slightly higher than in surrounding office areas so that air tends to flow out of the equipment area when doors open (especially in an emergency, positive pressure helps keep smoke and dust away from the electronics).
The computer room A/C should be separate from that for the rest of the building. You need to be able to control ambient conditions yourself under normal circumstances.
Protect the external air intakes to reduce the risk of a gas attack or tampering with your A/C. Make sure that the ductwork is non-combustible and that it does not provide a crawlspace for unauthorized access to your computer room. Sometimes it seems that every movie involving penetration of a secured area includes an obligatory scene in which heroes or villains crawl undetected through the A/C ducts. In every case, access to the ducts is relatively easy and is accomplished by removing a flimsy grate without using tools.
Link your A/C units to the fire-suppression control systems. The panic button that cuts power to your computer equipment should include the A/C equipment. In case of a fire, the last thing you need is the A/C continuing to pump fresh air into an enclosed area at risk.
The perforated tiles in your raised floor are part of the A/C system and fire-suppression systems. A/C engineers lay these tiles in patterns that control air flow within the computer room. These tiles must not be displaced at random. In some data centers, operators move the tiles about without considering the effects on air flow; in one case reported by a student in my Information Systems Security course, operators decided they didn’t like the tiles, so they moved them all over to the far corner of the computer room. This spontaneous redesign of the A/C system produced Arctic conditions in one area and tropical temperatures in the other. The operators were on their way to generating a model of the global atmospheric wind patterns.
Although I’ve mentioned this in a previous section, I urge you to make sure that the floor under the raised tiles is kept clean and free of extraneous materials. The area next to an A/C outlet is often very cool; however, is not an appropriate cooler for soft-drinks and beer J.

Truly an American breed, the Toy Fox Terrier is a big dog in a small package that possesses intelligence, courage and a take-charge attitude. Both a Toy and a Terrier, they are a true working dog, delighting in hunting tree squirrels and flushing out rodents. The breed’s colors are white, chocolate and tan; white and tan; white and black; or tri-color.
A compact dog built for hard work, the Welsh Springer Spaniel is a distinct breed, not a variety of the English Springer Spaniel. With his excellent nose and slightly webbed feet, the breed is a versatile hunter, water dog and retriever. Their trademark coat is a striking red and white in color.
The Welsh Terrier is a zippy, compact companion, always looking for action and entertainment. This breed loves to swim and dig. The “Welsh Terrier expression” comes from the set, color, and position of the eyes combined with the use of the ears. His coarse wire-texture coat is always black and tan. Caroline Kennedy had a Welsh named Charlie.
Medium sized and bred to cover all terrain encountered by the walking hunter, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon has been called the “4-wheel drive of hunting dogs” as he will enter briars or underbrush without hesitation. Griffs excel equally as pointers in the field and as retrievers in the water. Their coarse double coat protects them in rough cover and gives them an unkempt appearance. It can be a variety of colors, most often steel gray with brown markings.
The Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced show-low-eats-queen-tlee), or “Xolo,” is an ancient, natural breed from Mexico. It comes in three sizes – toy, miniature and standard, and two varieties – hairless and coated. In the hairless variety, the skin is tough, protective, smooth and close fitting. The coated variety is covered by a short, flat coat. In both varieties, a dark, uniform color is preferred, ranging from black, gray black, slate, to red, liver or bronze, although white spots and markings are permitted. Today, this breed serves as a guard and companion.
Yorkshire Terriers, affectionately known as “Yorkies,” offer big personalities in a small package. Though members of the Toy Group, they are terriers by nature and are brave, determined, investigative and energetic. They have long, luxurious blue and tan coats. This portable pooch is one of the most popular breeds according the AKC® Registration Statistics.

Aengus Andrew, who played a young Robert Garrow, appears here with Jay Alan Christianson who starred as the adult Garrow.
PORT HENRY | Auditions had been over for an hour when Aengus Andrew walked into the room. He was 11 at the time.
Aengus and his mom Kelly were returning to their Chazy home from a trip to Buffalo, but they took a detour, a not-so-short shortcut through the mountains to Elizabethtown where Lori Bailey was hunting talent for her upcoming film on the psychopathic killer Robert Garrow.
Knowing they might be too late, Kelly carved the curves and canyons trying to make up time. Aengus came to feel the chances of making the audition were less likely than the odds they would be spending the balance of the day dragging themselves out of an Adirondack swamp.
When they pulled into Elizabethtown, the auditions were over, but Bailey was still there. Aengus told her he was interested in the role of a young Robert Garrow, who as a boy growing up in Mineville had been beaten unmercifully by his father.
She already had plenty of applicants, but as much out of courtesy as anything else, she and her crew let Aengus perform. When he did, jaws hit the floor. With Aengus’ talent, there was instantly no question who would play the young Garrow.
Three years have gone by since the majority of Aengus’ scenes were shot. He’s now 14, and more than a foot taller than he was at 11. As the movie wrapped up its final shots this fall, Aengus rejoined the cast as a set hand, soaking up, and enjoying every minute.
Bailey’s film, which included a number of local actors, recognizes the evil of Garrow, but strives to tell the story fairly.
And part of that story is Garrow’s horrific upbringing at the hands of an abusive father, played in the movie by Richard Waddingham.
Still, when the actors got together at a screening, Kelly hunted Waddingham down.
“I told him, we really need to get to know each other this weekend, because right now I hate you,” she said.
Aengus, with a confident, outgoing personality that belies his years, insists he’s not special, just one of a number of North Country residents who have been blessed with theatrical or musical talent, but have remained at home rather than seeking out the bright lights of Tinseltown. He said he admires and has learned from them.
He also learned from the professional actors on the set, including Jay Alan Christianson, who played Garrow and was welcoming to the locals on the set.

The prophetic words of Theophilus Msimangu, a Zulu priest, in Alan Paton’s iconic novel Cry the Beloved Country, still the best-selling book – other than the Bible – in South African literary history.
At the time of Paton’s death in 1988 aged 85, it had sold more than 15 million copies in 20 countries since its publication in February 1948, the year the National Party came to power in South Africa. Long Walk to Freedom, Nelson Mandela’s autobiography is said to have clocked up sales of 15 million worldwide since its publication in 1994.
Paton’s work has twice been adapted for the cinema (1951 when apartheid was just getting into its stride and 1996 the year South Africa adopted its first non-racial constitution following the first democracy elections in 1994.) And in 1949 it was adapted as a musical on Broadway based on the Book Lost in the Stars by American author Maxwell Anderson with music by German émigré Kurt Weil.
Paton was looking at South Africa as a liberal and a Christian of British origin who had made South Africa his home.
What is most remarkable about Paton’s towering literary and moral achievement is how it resounds with the South Africa of today and what has happened in the seven decades since he wrote the book making allowance for his reference to men rather than men and women and one or two other dated turns of phrase.
The context of the quote about hate is a discussion between Kumalo and Msimangu about the corrupting influence of power and whether white men are more corruptible than black men.
They bemoan the fact that it is this corruption that is restraining South Africa from progressing from and they share their dreams of black/white co-operation to enable the country to realise its true potential. Sound familiar? That was written 70 years ago before apartheid had made it into the Oxford dictionary.
Other events of note occurred in 1948.
Zionism triumphed after a long struggle in Palestine and the state of Israel was created. India gained its independence after a long non-violent campaign against British imperialism. And the National Health System was established in Britain. To mention a few. Apartheid, the clash between Zionism and the Arab world and the struggle against British colonialism all led to a lot of hate and violence.
Major restructuring took place in all three conflict situations; India got its independence; South Africa following racially flawed independence in 1910 and departing the Commonwealth in 1960 had democracy elections in 1994; and Israel and the Palestinians are still slugging it out after countless failed peace attempts.
My first three years as a journalist in South Africa in the late 1970’s were spent inter alia covering the systematic destruction of the so-called coloured community of District Six at the foot of Table Mountain under apartheid’s draconian Group Areas Act which imposed racially separated neighbourhoods and the Slum Clearance Act which provided a flimsy excuse for ethnic cleansing.
A vibrant maitrix of traders, professionals, gangs and street sellers waited for a knock on the door – would arrive home to find a notice attached to their door giving them 30 days to vacate their homes.
This continued relentlessly until the bulldozers had flattened the entire neighborhood and everyone of the last 66 000 were banished to the wind-swept and barren wastelands of the Cape Flats which in turn gave rise to far more violent and gangs and all the social ills associated with displacement. All that remained was a pile of rubble and a scar on the mountainside still visible today.
How do you not turn to hate when such injustice is meted out by a soulless and vicious white minority regime?
This systematic ethnic cleansing and social engineering amounted to a genocide of the soul.
When the bulldozers turned on the black shanty towns of Modderdam, Unibel and Werkgenot I would search for a flicker of humanity in the eyes of the white public works employees as they ripped apart corrugated iron houses which were home to tens of thousands of people.
As a South African correspondent in the Middle East I saw another brand of hatred with much deeper roots. How can a conscripted 18-year-old Israeli soldier at a checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank ever hope to find the humanity in a Palestinian when his first interaction with them is lining him or her up in the sights of his or her automatic weapon.
When I was posted there in the mid-1990’s I was not prepared for the reality. It was not popular to compare Israel with apartheid South Africa but I could not escape equating the processes of dehumanisation which enabled Israelis to treat Palestinians as lesser human beings to justify a series of actions which they would never have inflicted on their own people.
The intersection of identity, fear and hate is a toxic mix which is very difficult to roll back once it has passed the point of no-return as it did in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict a long time ago and as can be seen today.
In Asia it can be seen in the treatment of the million Rohingya’s driven out of the Rakhine State in Myanmar; in the fundamentalism of ISIS and persecution of the Yazidis; the Tutsi’s fleeing from the Hutu’s; the Falun Gong, the Uighurs and the Tibetans in China; the Bahai in Iran; the Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq; and one could go on and on.
Or we can reach back into recent history to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany or the gulag’s of Stalin’s Russia or the cultural revolution in China. Or the killing fields in Cambodia. The Protestants and Catholics in northern Ireland; the Crusaders; the era of slavery in which the UK was a major player and financial beneficiary; the US in Vietnam and Guantanamo Bay. There is no shortage of anecdotal evidence when it comes to man’s inhumanity to man and indeed to woman.
There are too many examples in history of how differentiation and stereotyping has led to hatred and violence.
Human beings need very little encouragement to be really nasty to each other as the experiment with the brown eyes and the blue eyes so chillingly illustrates.
There is a recurring pattern of exclusion and denial leading to alienation, resentment and eventually fear and violent conflict which exacerbates racial or ethnic tension and, if unchecked, can lead to a race war where interaction is dominated by stereotypes, dehumanisation of “the other” and xenophobia.
Although there are still some horrific racial attacks of white on black – and ongoing attacks on white farmers and small-holders – and no shortage of hate speak from the likes of the Economic Freedom Fighters and the lobby group Black First, Land First – the fundamental dynamic in South Africa of racial tension is driven by economic inequality and opportunism rather than racial hatred per se.
The relative atmosphere of hope and reconciliation under Mandela which continued to some extent into the Thabo Mbeki era rapidly unravelled during the nine-year administration of Jacob Zuma characterised by patronage and corruption, a loss of moral direction and a widening of the gap between rich and poor.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is doing everything in his power to revive the Mandela vision and values after almost a decade of disastrous rule which took the country to the very edge of failed state status. There is hope again but the restoration process will be long and hard.
President Ramaphosa has a tough journey ahead but has made significant progress in rebuilding institutions, reviving fair play and the rule of law.
Today the Archbishop’s powerful vision of the Rainbow nation – and the Mandela vision – are under severe stress.
In South Africa xenophobia is never far below the surface putting a heavy burden on leadership to set an example of tolerance and inclusion rather than reinforcing stereotypes.
The solution to hatred is invariably to highlight our primary identity as humans and from that base strive to understand the point-of-view of “the other” and reach a compromise based on inclusion, understanding and ongoing communication to prevent a reversion to the stays quo ante. It calls on us to transcend our basest instincts.
Good education and strong and sound leadership can go a long way to achieving these goals.
The Archbishop’s commitment to the values of Ubuntu – I am because you are – is the way he lives his life. He is a living example that what really matters is not what you do in life but the way that you do it.
Nowhere was his commitment to the values of Ubuntu clearer than in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission where his focus was always to humanise both the perpetrators and victims by bringing perpetrators and victims together and acknowledging perpetrators as human beings and thus assisting them to take responsibility for their often terrible actions.
Nelson Mandela, despite having to meet the challenges of political power, was always clear on the principles of acknowledgement of the humanity of “the other” and the principle of inclusivity.
These qualities of true leadership were crucial to the – at times seemingly impossible – achievement of a negotiated settlement in South Africa.
One does not need to be a psychologist or academic expert to see that hatred is inevitably preceded by an act of exclusion – or perceived exclusion – followed by alienation, resentment, hate, fear and eventually violent conflict.
But there are no quick fixes when it comes to removing the underlying causes of hatred.
Archbishop Tutu insisted during the TRC process that reconciliation could come only with the perpetrator confronting the full horror of his or her actions and the victim experiencing deep forgiveness. Only in such a profound exchange could there be redemption and release from hate and all the pain that accompanies it.
So the question becomes: how do we deal with these challenges in a post-conflict situation still contaminated by residual inequality as in South Africa.
Here the values of inclusivity, magnanimity, forgiveness and steadfastness become vital.
The Tutu Foundation UK is doing a great job initiated by the late Paul Randolph in reaching out to marginalised youth in disadvantaged London Boroughs to build bridges and break down barriers between the youth and the police. This initiative has gained a new urgency with the alarming proliferation of knife crime in London.
Baroness Doreen Lawrence, mother of Stephen Lawrence, whose was tragically murdered by police 20 years ago, has turned adversity into triumph with the Stephen Lawrence Foundation and the launch next month of the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre. Baroness Lawrence recently visited South Africa in her role as Chancellor of De Montfort University.
The life lived by Nelson Mandela was an exemplary demonstration of Ubuntu. And the Archbishop is a living example of Ubuntu.
In his 1999 book, No Future Without Forgiveness, Archbishop Tutu elaborates on the notion of Ubuntu which is so close to his inclusive heart.
These values need to be engendered in our youth and should permeate the education system at all levels.
And they are the qualities not only embraced but lived by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to inspire the youth of today to make for better world leaders tomorrow.
John Battersby is a Global Peace Ambassador for the Tutu Foundation UK, chair of trustees at the Canon Collins Educational and Legal Assistance Trust and a Director of the South African Chamber of Commerce. This is an extract of a speech at the 4th annual Desmond Tutu Peace Summit held at Regents University in London this week. The Theme was Hate: Causes, Consequences and Cures.

Rijorl has been dreaming of warm, comfy beds in inns, and traveling to see the Empire. Now he has a reason to go.
Posted: 09/28/11 [1 Comment] ~ 273 words.
While the water fell in ropes, filled with tatters of rainbow blossoms.
Bits of walls he'd carved with the flowers of his homeland lay scattered.
He lifted a broken pottery windchime out of the mud.
For his balance was unsteady and he felt too old to live in the sky.
But I want to ride a steam train, and see the deserts and the mountains."
And fried fruits and breaded blossoms for his farewell feast.
They'd run together, to find a life far from the war so long ago.
Then he set out inland, trading his rainbow life for one on the road.
I tried writing this part of Rijorl's story as prose, but it just wouldn't cooperate. I am left wondering if Rijorl is a poet, or if, perhaps, his people simply expect stories to be told in verse.

Italian produced organic Piedmont honey vinegar and Pinot Grigio grape must combined with natural ginger powder create this spectacular, round and beautifully structured honey-based vinegar. The dynamic fusion of honey and ginger opens up to perfectly well-balanced savory and sweet flavors. The recipe ideas we get from the aromas of the freshly harvested thousand flower Italian honey kissed by the gentle heat of ginger are as dizzying as the scent of this balsamic. From salads, to noodles to stir-frys, any Asian inspired dish can benefit. Cold drinks, mulled cider, shrubs and hot sangria are outstanding when made with Honey & Ginger white balsamic.
Use to marinate cucumbers or spiralized fresh zucchini before adding to a salad.
Use to deglaze a pan after searing seafood with any Mild Super Premium EVOO or the suggested oil pairings.
Combine with brown sugar and use to glaze baby back ribs.
Use in stir-fries by mixing it with Toasted Sesame Seed oil.
Drizzle to finish steamed or fried rice.
Combine with Persian Lime or Blood Orange olive oil and drizzle over carrots and red beets before grilling.
Great on kale and arugula salads.
Add to sparkling water for a refreshing drink.

Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and switch over to folding for OCC... since DIY-Street and OCC are merged now.
as soon as I've turned in a workunit, I'll be able to display my signature to reflect the OCC team instead of DIY-Street.
Sweet! Glad to have ya on the team!
Holy crap are you really in Japan?
Awesome to have you join the folding team. Since your in Japan, have you been to Taipei? I hope to visit Japan before I go back to the States. I have already been to Hong Kong.
I am indeed in Japan... I'm a Contract Administrator in the Air Force.
I haven't been Taiwan, Would like to go though. I want to do some travelling, but my wife and I haven't yet completely settled in, and we have a baby on the way, so it's a little hard to go very far.
[quote name='bosco' post='781181' date='May 12 2008, 01:32 AM']Wow thats pretty cool.
I'd rather have the foldng one I think... I got the bars in my sig... Thanks again Bosco!
AUS, I'd like you to maybe take on the task of getting all of our DIY folders to switch over to OCC. I know we are in like 140th place or something and have lots of points that will end up wasted, but in the end I think it will be better for all our folders to be OCC folders.
sorry if this is a dumb question but whats folding?
[email protected] basically uses the computers power to simulare the folding of proteins in our body, to find cures for many differen diseases, including alzheimers etc.

Bush, Kennedy, Romney, Clinton, and, yes, even Paul — is it just a coincidence that the same names keep appearing on the ballots each election cycle? Are these families just innately talented legislators, naturally “born to rule”?
No, says economist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. America’s lame political dynasties are the result of a political system rife with nepotism.
In our era a son of a president was roughly 1.4 million times more likely to become president than his supposed peers.… The presidency is obviously a small sample. But the same calculations can be done for other political positions. Take governors.
Because it is difficult to be sure that you have counted all the sons of governors, let’s assume that governors reproduce at average rates. This would mean there were about 250 baby boomer males born to governors. Five of them became governors themselves, about one in 50. This is 6,000 times the rate of the average American. The same methodology suggests that sons of senators had an 8,500 times higher chance of becoming a senator than an average American male boomer.
But there’s nepotism everywhere, and most parents want their children to follow in their footsteps. Is politics remarkable?
Is this electoral edge unusual? Successful parents, whatever their occupation, pass on their genes and plenty of other stuff to their kids. Do different fields have similar familial patterns?
In just about every field I looked at, having a successful parent makes you way more likely to be a big success, but the advantage is much smaller than it is at the top of politics….
Think about the N.B.A. further. The skills necessary to be a basketball player, especially height, are highly hereditary. But the N.B.A. is a meritocracy, with your performance easy to evaluate. If you do not play well, you will be cut, even if the team is the New York Knicks and your name is Patrick Ewing Jr. Father-son correlation in the N.B.A. is only one-eleventh as high as it is in the Senate.
Presidents, superstar athletes, Nobel Prize-winning scientists, and other leaders in their field are outliers in the distribution. “Regression to the mean” is a statistical principle that describes the tendency of variables to return to the average over time. In the case of hereditary athletic talents, we should expect that Michael Jordan’s sons will be pretty average basketball players and will probably not end up dominating the NBA.
In other words, the odds that the best person to run your government (assuming such a thing exists) just so happened to live in the same house as the previous senator, governor, or president are stupendously bad.
He notes that politics isn’t the only sphere where irrational favoritism for close relations shows up in the data: CEOs tend to give birth to CEOs at an improbable rate, too, and we know that heredity isn’t a foolproof guide to succession in business, either. Economists have shown that family businesses that favor succession to blood relatives tend to perform worse after the transition.
The difference is that in business, the cost of the decision falls on those who make it. In politics, we all pay.
Indeed. How could this be? It can’t be nepotism in the same way that family businesses tap relations to run the company — it’s the voters who decide who wins the next election. So how could equalitarian democracy, the great leveller, the system that tells elementary students “you too could grow up to be senator or president,” recreate dynastic political succession?
Well, the answer is that the promise is partially true: technically, any citizen can become a senator — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, he points out, is the daughter of a janitor — but you’re just 8,500 times more likely to get there if your mom or dad was too. And, in part, it could be that intelligence (or low cunning) is heritable and makes politicians’ kids better at the game. But that doesn’t explain the continued popularity of a figure like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the dull luminary of the anti-vaccine and “jail climate deniers” movements, who has clearly regressed to mean with a vengeance.
A better answer is that America’s dynasties reveal something fundamental about politics: we do not have a meritocracy because democracy is not a good way to select rulers (even if it is, as is so often said, the least worst way). Surveys show conclusively that the electorate is wildly ill-informed about both the candidates and the issues, as well as aggressively irrational about a host of important economic, political, scientific, legal, and simply factual issues. Controlled studies show that voters select candidates for patently absurd reasons, like their height, weight, attractiveness, and timbre of voice. And, in answer to Stephens-Davidowitz’ last question, more than anything else, name recognition matters.
What makes politics so futile is not that the national electorate improbably keeps landing on the same few families, decade after decade. Rather, it’s that the voters keep supporting the same dumb policies.
We don’t need a rule to prevent political power from passed down through families. The rules that govern what people can do with elected office matter far more than who sits there. We need, as comedian Penn Jillette once said, to give politicians so little power that it doesn’t matter who they are — rather than so much power that it doesn’t matter who they are.
Daniel Bier is the executive editor of The Skeptical Libertarian. He writes on issues relating to science, skepticism, and economic freedom, focusing on the role of evolution in social and economic development.
If the earth is still alive in 500-1000 years, as it was in Egypt 1000-2000 years ago, it’s easy to trace the waves of nepotism because of dynastic influence. Certainly, the same could be said of the Bush family if a third Bush was elected; not so much for a second Clinton, especially where she is married to, not a son of a Clinton.
That leaves a small window for destiny to define her run as fortuitous, perhaps, for women, and an unusual occurrence, rather than the predictable outcomes from expectations of yet another Bush in 2016.
Only through the lens of history can we view to what extent a nation is unduly influenced by special interests, war profiteers, or nepotism as the characteristic benchmarks that typically define government…..a fine line, perhaps, but an important distinction in rational logic.

A bit ago we had a class about realistic painting in school. Fist we bit an apple which we had to draw afterwards without using the colours black and white. When I started the task I got totally frustrated, my picture didn’t seem to look like an apple at all, just a muddle of colours which didn’t seem to fit together. My docent kept on reminding me to focus more on the relation between the colours than on the colours itself. At which point is the brightest/darkest part of the apple? With this hint I continued painting until I even forgot what I was actually painting. And this was the trick. Because our mind always has an inner picture of the object and when we start painting we are not painting the object without any influence and this is what changes our picture.

School Just Started. Now, About Winter and Spring Break.
In the hustle of the back-to-school season, you’re barely keeping your head above the lunch bags, back packs, binders, new shoes, homework, and forms.
I get it. Me too.
BUT .. in the midst of that chaos, I’m still dreaming of winter and spring breaks. I’m a planner when it comes to family vacations and I’m already elbow deep in planning our February run away from it all.
When picking our destination, we rotate. Zacharie had a Disney dream come true, while Charlie suggested up some family time on the beaches of San Jose del Cabo.
This year, it’s Mama’s turn and she’s playing eeny meeny miney moe still trying to decide between Mexico, Costa Rica, or Jamaica.
I told you I was a planner.
Now is the time to make a vision board, plot out your budget, start canvassing friends for recommendations, and lining up blog posts to read and reviews to review.
Getting it done now, gives you more time to relax and start planning for Christmas. Because, seriously, once that season hits you won’t have time to think about winter break vacation planning.
Air Canada Vacations is helping you with the budget planning part by saving you $600 per family (based on a family of 4) on every booking made between September 1 and 30, 2017. PLUS there are over 100 resorts where kids under 12 can stay free!!
That is the best. Kids staying free saves you money, and those kind of resorts are the ones where kids have the most fun. They’re targeted to families, they have kids’ clubs for entertainment, and they’re working hard to make sure every member of the family has a great vacation.
I’m a member of a few local Facebook groups filled with families. Asking the group for reviews on resorts and destinations can help you narrow your search for areas that fit your budget and family dynamic. This is my first place to look for advice before doing a deeper dive on my own.
Once you have a short list, dig deeper to see exactly what is on offer at each resort. Air Canada Vacations has a sun brochure online so you can easily scan resorts and compare amenities. Have a look at the pools, check out pics of the kids’ club, and see if there are special programs targeted to the age of your kids (some might be too old, or too young in their focus).
If you need to hold the dream in your hand, printed versions of the brochure are available through travel agencies.
Different resort chains have different focuses. For example, you know you’re going to get a family-focused, character-driven vacation from a Beaches property. The Kunuku Aqua Resort in Curaçao and the and the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts in Punta Cana are very kid-friendly and offer a fun escape for families too.
Many resorts offer kids stay and eat free packages, and this summer Air Canada Vacations has added a Play More program that allows the whole family to select their seat and gives each family member a $10 voucher for an in-flight meal (voucher available each way of your trip, see bottom of post for full details).
When you book an Air Canada Vacations escape for the family before September 30, 2017, you’ll save $600 per family on your trip to Mexico & the Caribbean with the Early Booking Promotion!
There’s also a Price Drop Guarantee that will give you peace of mind for locking in your spot early if you want to ditch the kids and do a trip on your own. Couples who book participating resorts by October 31, can get up to $800 cash back, if the price of their winter package drops!
Even if you do all the research and land on the right resort, it just might not jive with your kids for whatever reason. So be ready to roll with it, because it might even go the other way.
We didn’t think kids’ clubs were all that great after our first resort experiences, but on one trip to Los Cabos, our boys immediately ditched us from the second day on announcing the kids’ club was more fun than hanging with us. It was a child-free family vacation that made everyone smile.
If you can be flexible with destination and timing of your trip, Air Canada Vacations specialists can work with you to find the best vacation at the best price.
This is a no brainer. The fewer times you have to load and unload the team from an aircraft, the fewer opportunities there are to lose a stuffy, favourite LEGO, or blanket. Air Canada Vacations has added new flights from Calgary to Los Cabos and Huatulco, Mexico for the 2017/2018 season.
Use the Air Canada Vacations flight schedule to identify new routes, additional flight frequencies, and larger aircrafts.
I’ve already explained how our kids help in picking the destination, that’s a great way to get them involved. But how about also having them make a bucket list of things they want to do on your vacay? Here’s one Charlie made for a weekend getaway to Banff last winter, but it could just as easily have been made for a week at a beachy resort.
Use the Air Canada Vacations flight schedule to identify new routes, additional flight frequencies and larger aircrafts.
Travelers who plan early can benefit from substantial savings on their 2017/2018 holiday to Mexico & the Caribbean, with the Early Booking Promotion. Reservations made by September 30 represent savings of $600 per family ($200 per adult and $100 per child ages 2 to 12), while bookings made between October 1 and 31 represent $500 in savings.
The Price Drop Guarantee returns this year again. Couples who book participating resorts by October 31, can get up to $800 cash back, if the price of their winter package drops.
As an extension of the Family collection, the Play program lets travelers experience the ultimate family-friendly vacation. This winter, families can upgrade to the NEW Play More, to enjoy even more fun. On top of the Play inclusions (kids 12-and-under eat, play and stay free, pre-boarding for families, dedicated pool areas for kids, supervised kids’ clubs), the Play More program allows the whole family to select their seat, a value of $160 for a family of four, as well as a $10 voucher for an in-flight meal per family member, per segment. The upgrade is available for only $39 per adult and $19 per child.

Hi everyone, Under the Settings -> Look and Feel -> Menus path, the option to place the Action Bar on the bottom of the screen does not work. The option is entitled: Bottom Action Bar - Action Bar at the bottom for Equ./Folders/Lib. screens Whenever I select it, a check mark appears in the box indicating that it's selected. I go back to the main screen and it remains at the top. Any ideas? I've loved the convenience of having the Action Bar at the bottom of the screen as it makes access to the necessary options quite simple. I look forward to your assistance.

To find a Christian school near you, check out the map on the homepage.
Daily Bible Reading Plan Chart Join some of us in reading the Bible in a year!
Why Christian Education Most Christian parents are familiar with Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” So, how exactly do we train up our children?
Shaping a Worldview The issue of worldview is extremely important in Christian schooling: not just the development of a worldview but a focus on the development of a biblical or Christian worldview.
Christian School vs. Public School We know that there are many more questions and issues to consider, but hope that these four will bring some help as you consider your children, their lives, and their future.
Exploring the Differences: Christian Schools and Public Schools Born-again believers can fall on both sides of the debate on Christian education, just as they fall on both sides of many debates about the Faith.
Private School Students More Likely to Attend College Upon leaving high school, students have to decide whether to pursue a postsecondary credential or not. It turns out that students from different types of high schools tend to make different choices.

This course will introduce you to the major topics, problems, and methods of philosophy and surveys the writings of a number of major historical figures in the field. Philosophy can be - and has been - defined in many different ways by many different thinkers. In a scholarly sense, philosophy is the study of the history of human thought. It requires familiarity with great ideas understood through the various major thinkers in world history. In its most general sense, philosophy is simply the investigation of life’s “big questions.” We will explore such fundamental questions in several of the core areas of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. With the help of commentaries and discussions from a number of contemporary philosophers, we will read and reflect on texts by major Western and non-Western thinkers including Lao Tzu, Buddha, Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Saint Anselm, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Thomas Hobbes, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Bertrand Russell. This course aims to not only familiarize you with philosophers and problems but to also improve your ability to think critically about the issues, develop your own ideas about them, and express these ideas clearly and persuasively in writing. Unit 1 introduces philosophy as a discipline and provides a sense of its subject matter and methodology. Unit 2 addresses topics in metaphysics and epistemology - traditionally the “core” areas of philosophy. Units 2, 3, and 4 cover moral, political, and religious philosophy, respectively. Each unit presents selections from a set of philosophers whose works are traditionally compared on the same themes in order to set up contrasting approaches and opinions.
Apply critical thinking and reasoning skills in a wide range of career paths and courses of study.
√ Have completed ENGL001 and ENGL002.
Note that you will only receive an official grade on your Final Exam. However, in order to adequately prepare for this exam, you will need to work through all the course readings, lectures, web media, and assessments in each unit.
Time Commitment: This course should take you approximately 141 hours to complete. Each unit includes a “Time Advisory” that lists the amount of time you are expected to spend on each subunit. These should help you plan your time accordingly. It may be useful to take a look at these time advisories and to determine how much time you have over the next few weeks to complete each unit, and then to set goals for yourself. For example, Unit 1 should take you 11.25 hours to complete. Perhaps you can sit down with your calendar and decide to complete Subunit 1.1.1 and Subunit 1.1.2 (a total of 4.75 hours) on Monday night; Subunit 1.1.3 and Subunit 1.1.4 (a total of 2 hours) on Tuesday night; Subunit 1.2 and the Assessment (a total of 4.5 hours) on Wednesday night; and so forth.
Tips/Suggestions: Try to take comprehensive notes as you work through the resources in this course. These notes will serve as a useful review as you study and prepare for your Final Exam. Finally, you will find it useful to use the following “Philosophy: Glossary of Technical Terms” throughout this course.

On 15th August, Zee Marathi launched a digital platform called 'Kisan Abhimaan' for the farmers. In a span of 15 days, it got a staggering response with over 12,000 registrations.
The channel has always tried to connect with rural Maharashtra, like associating with Aamir Khan's Paani foundation which aims to achieve drought free Maharashtra. As rural economy is majorly driven by agriculture, taking a step forward, this platform brings all the stakeholders related to farm products together i.e. farmers, wholesalers, retailers, customers, agri product manufacturers & so on. The thought behind the initiative is to make the life of farmers better.
The website/app allows anyone to get listed as sellers e.g. farmers, wholesalers etc. or as buyers e.g. individual customers, retailers, organizations, hotels etc. The seller can list the products they want to sell, and the buyer can directly buy from the seller.
This establishes direct connection facilitating both to get a better deal on farm products. It also provides easy access of information from local to national markets.
One of the other key features is that it is available in 10 major Indian languages. It means the person can navigate through the website/app in a language they are comfortable in.
With this, Zee Marathi aims to reach out to rural Maharashtra & contribute in making the lives of farmers better.
The link to the website is www.kisanabhimaan.com and mobile app can be downloaded on android platforms with the name 'Kisan Abhimaan'.

Hey look, it's a cheeseburger with no bun! This has been a complete thought.
We talk about food sensitivities way too much. I say this as the owner of one. Which one? Who the hell cares? Avoiding whatever it is has become second nature, as much of an impediment to my daily life as avoiding physical contact with my airplane tray table or an ascending flock of recently fed pigeons. Under no circumstance do I want to turn any conversation to why I’ve cooked this instead of that, why I order this without that, which doctor did or didn’t say this about that or which scientific studies indicate or don’t indicate what about whatever. It doesn’t matter. Nobody cares that I don’t feel so great when I eat whatever it is that bugs me — the entire business is put to rest by abstaining. It is, categorically, a nonissue.
Unfortunately, not everyone is so discreet, routinely spoiling otherwise pleasant dinner conversations with gastrointestinal details that really should remain private.
Let’s be clear: There is a giant, palpable difference between a legitimate food allergy and a sensitivity (also known as an intolerance). A severe allergy has consistent symptoms brought on by a known allergen and involves EpiPens and emergency room visits. We’re talking anaphylaxis versus varying degrees of discomfort over time. Thanks to everyone not shutting the eff up about their varying degrees of discomfort, as though their input were helping, people with legitimate food allergies are often treated like just another joiner on some diet-craze bandwagon. It’s seen everywhere food is served: restaurants, schools, hospitals, airlines, even in the military.
“I don’t feel so great when I eat it” garners nothing more than an unspoken “Fair enough, you know you best” or perhaps even a nod of solidarity. It nips in the bud any mention of “ruined” children’s birthday parties, fad weight-loss diets, health trends with no basis in medical science and other equally pointless topics of conversation. Best of all, it keeps your sensitivity just that: yours, with your (uninteresting) story behind its discovery and treatment — though The Atlantic’s reader-sourced series “Why Go Gluten-Free” does have a few doozies. Relatively speaking, that is.
Now, let’s quickly address pickiness masquerading as an allergy or sensitivity. By all means inform a server of an allergy or even a sensitivity, as chefs will go out of their way to take health concerns seriously (lest they end up incarcerated), but avoid interchanging that with “preference.” Nobody is legitimately allergic to cucumbers, so if you feign an allergy instead of simply requesting no cucumbers on your sandwich, you’re perpetuating a stigma that affects others negatively and sells them short in addition to sounding dumb and patronizing the chef and server. Again, “I don’t do well with cucumbers” or simply “No cucumbers, please” is more than enough for a server to get the message — no further details required. If the cucumbers still arrive, whether on the side or even on top, you can remove them. Any residual (delicious) cucumber flavor is surely something you can push past.
Utilize this easy phrase as shortcut to a topic worth discussing, and enjoy the heck out of that cheeseless burger, you responsible and interesting digestive system–haver and conversationalist.

Paramount - the needs of the child are considered paramount at all times.
Protection - we aim to promote high standards of safeguarding policy, procedures and practice in all schools, local authority services and Early Years settings that provide for Kent children.
Prevention - we aim to raise the profile of children's rights and promote schemes of work in schools across the county that will help to empower children to better protect themselves. In addition, we need to ensure that care provided, particularly in specialist residential settings, conforms with the requirements of the National Minimum Standards (NMS) and outcomes for children are positively reinforced. Child protection training, awareness raising and the lead professional telephone consultation service is very much part of the preventative initiative.
Policy lead, monitor and report on care standards in local authority residential special school provision under Standard 20 of the NMS.
Independent management investigations and safeguarding reviews when commissioned to do so.

Thank you to everyone who gave to the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden’s Waterway WOW! campaign this spring! New donors plus many generous members, volunteers, community members, and alumni made gifts totaling over $68,000, exceeding our goal for the campaign.
The Waterway WOW! campaign kicked off during the first ever UC Davis Give Day on April 21 and wrapped up on May 4 during the region-wide Big Day of Giving. All of the Waterway WOW gifts, no matter how or when they arrived, will make a big difference in improving the Arboretum Waterway this year. These community donations will fund over 6,000 plants to re-vegetate a major portion of the Waterway banks and help launch a new team of Arboretum Learning by Leading student interns to care for the Waterway. Thank you again to the generous donors and to all of our loyal supporters who give in whichever way they can—with their time, creativity, words of encouragement, or donations.

The “Chez Soi d’abord” name comes from the “Housing first” program. This four-year programme was put in place by the interministerial delegation for housing (Diahl) and the public health laboratory EA3279 to evaluate a Canadian originated model which accompanies homeless individuals suffering from severe psychiatric problems to obtain a lodging. It is based on the idea that having a stable lodging condition is a prerequisite for working on the problems that led the individual to his/her current condition.
As part of a national project, Epiconcept put in place an information collection system based around netbook computers (small, inexpensive low-powered laptops) to collect physical and mental health information from the homeless. Every six months, for four years, the interviewers based in the four cities (Paris, Lille, Paris, Toulouse) and collect information from the individuals participating in the programme.
Both the Epiconcept team and the research team kept in mind the sensitivity of the information to be collected and the weighty consequences to the individual if he or she were to be admitted to the program or not.
The questionnaires were created using the Voozanoo 3 framework. There are an enormous number of questions (just a bit less than 1000 items) which can be asked depending on which branch of the study the individual is in and his/her stage of the study (check-up at 6, 12, 18 or 24 months). Apart from initial training, the questionnaires were made and put into Voozanoo by the Laboratory EA3279 team without the aid of Epiconcept.
When a new individual becomes part of the study, he or she is randomly assigned to one of the two branches of the study; those receiving the Chez Soi services, or those who can apply to the standard housing possibilities. For the statistical needs of the study, 200 individuals per city were initially recruited.
The data entry task is done directly on the netbook in the presence of the individual in the street. The collected data which is stored locally on the netbook is then sent to a server once the investigator has found a stable Internet connection. At the same time, while the netbook has an Internet connection, it receives a calendar of the next set of questionnaires to be filled out for the individuals the investigator is in charge of so that he or she can organise the other interview sessions for that week. The management of the Netbooks and the validation and exploitation of the centralised data is done at the server side by the Chez Soi team.
The directorate of national health system entrusted the programme classified as “experiment and research” to the research unit of the laboratory EA3279 directed by Professor Pascal Auquier. The programme is run by an interdisciplinary consortium of research teams in epidemiology, evaluative research, sociology, social psychology, anthropology and economy placed under the responsibility of the EA3279 research unit.
In order to allow the Chez Soi team to be as autonomous as possible in the creation of their bi-annual questionnaires, Epiconcept ran training session at their Marseille offices on using Microsoft Excel for that task.
Also, because the population to be questioned are homeless people, the only logistically realistic thing to do was to interview where they were on the streets. There, an information system that was disconnected from the Internet, secure and centralised was required. This project is hosted on Epiconcept’s secure web-based platform certified by the ministry of health for hosting personal health data.
Multiple challenges came up during the conception of the laptop application. The randomisation step places the patient into one of the two groups of the study, the group that will benefit from the “Housing first” program or those who have access to the standard housing options (control group). The stakes for this study are thus considerable. For these patients who have significant mental problems, security, ergonomics and the question flow were the crucial points during the randomisation. The netbooks had to be as transportable as possible as well as be able to withstand the conditions of the street (summer and winter temperatures, falls, theft, and otherwise).
The project required approximately 90 days of work which included the software development and its management, general project management and the various meetings with the Chez Soi team. In addition to the training given for the correct method of creating questionnaire items, Epiconcept gave trainings to the investigators on using the netbook on the streets and also to the coordinators of the study for managing the fleet of devices and exploiting the collected data.

On the lighter side, here are a few Santa Claus’ that ran amok in 2014. Surprisingly, it seems as if Santa got in trouble all over the world this year. He has been accused of stealing presents, defacing public property, among others.
Santa-Con Crook . At “Santa Con,” an annual event in which hundreds of people dressed as Santa converge on San Francisco’s Union Square, a man dressed as santa is suspected of robbing a nearby bank in the Bay Area. The hunt is still underway for this naughty santa; police are still looking for the suspect.
Santa shoot-em-up. Things might be going downhill in Detroit, where police say a man dressed as Santa was pulled out a gun and fired several shots after getting into a fight with another customer at a gas station. Two people were shot, a customer and a passenger in the customer’s car. Santa’s charges included multiple felonies, among them, attempted murder. My bet, he is getting a lump of coal and a long bid upstate.
Santa gets sauced. A man dressed as St. Nick himself was arrested in Glasgow Scotland for climbing onto the famous Duke of Wellington statue. He was reportedly arrested and issued a fine after the incident. Reports also state that he was highly intoxicated, though he did not face charges relating to such.
Mrs. Claus colludes in Caper. Santa and his female accomplice were both arrested in connection with a Jackson, Mississippi robbery of a convenience store.
Santa House Closed Indefinitely. The annual Santa House in Elwood, Indiana, was shuttered after it came to light that one of the Santas working there was facing gun charges. Mark Gardner is accused of providing a handgun to his cousin, a convicted felon. Gardner had disclosed his arrest before being hired by the city, and his lawyer told the paper there was no legal reason he could not have continued playing Santa. Sadly, a sign posted on the front door of the Santa House broke the news to children that Santa had gone to the North Pole and apparently wouldn’t be coming back.
You need a tenacious lawyer that will put the state to their burden.

Filing for Divorce – Is it Time?
If the time has come to consider filing for divorce, Van Loon Law, PLLC provides a full array of legal services in prosecuting and defending divorce actions.
Other related services available include crafting pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, separation agreements, property settlement agreements, annulments and qualified domestic relations orders.
What is an Action for Divorce?
§ 170. Action for divorce. An action for divorce may be maintained by a husband or wife to procure a judgment divorcing the parties and dissolving the marriage.
The Judgment of Divorce provides the parties with a written, enforceable decision that governs the division of marital assets and liabilities.
There are currently seven grounds for seeking a divorce, including the most recent legislative revisions that created a new ground which does not require traditional ‘fault’ or wrongdoing by one of the spouses.
Divorce Actions are generally characterized as either “Contested” or “Uncontested”. If the parties are unable to reach a settlement or agreement, the divorce is considered contested, and the action will continue through the Courts, which may result in a factual determination of the issues by a New York Supreme Court Judge.
Effective legal representation is the key to protecting your custody rights, property rights and alimony rights. The ultimate goal of a Divorce Action is to end the legal relationship and obligations with your spouse. Do not be intimidated into settling for less than your appropriate share in the marital estate.
