No Spring in Sight
It's supposed to be almost spring here, but it doesn't feel like it. Many of us around here were fooled a couple of weeks ago when local highs reached 60 for several days in a row. All the snow melted and I actually started thinking about casting on some fingering weight sweater projects. However, as we all know, weather is fickle, and we're back to sub-freezing temperatures during the day now and, once again, there is snow blanketing everything. The bushes are literally flattened by the change in weather.
The end of February meant also the end of the Through the Loops mystery sock knit along I mentioned last time. To my surprise, I was actually able to keep up and get them finished on time. This might be the first time I've ever done this as I am notorious for being easily bored and distracted, especially with socks.
I tried knitting both socks at the same time with this pair and was rewarded with a completed pair of socks at the end of the knit along. Maybe this is the cure to Second Sock Syndrome? It worked for me this time, anyway.
As for the Snowmelt shawl, this one got finished mostly because it was super easy knitting. There was a little lace, but it was easy to follow and watch telly at the same time. While knitting, I was a little unsure of how the multicolored yarn was going to look in the finished project, but despite my insecurity, I pressed on. It turns out that I needn't have worried. There's a little pooling, but it's broken up pretty well with the pattern.
I cast on this project during our first Nor'easter in New England in early February. It seemed fitting to block it while a second Nor'easter shook the house this past week.
For a brief moment, when both of these two knit alongs were nearing completion, I wondered what I was going to knit next. Then, A Year of Techniques was brought to my attention (sorry there's no link right now, but I will add it later when their server is back on) and I knew exactly what I was going to knit next: Hyacinthus Armwarmers.
If you have never done Helical striping, I urge you to try it. Here's a link to a video. There's also some info in there on how to get all the patterns that go with the knit along.
It took me about a week to finish the first set of mitts and I immediately cast on another, which says a lot about the compelling nature of the pattern and technique, since I almost never knit the same pattern twice in a row. Plus, I had enough yarn leftover to make another set, so why not?
The return of the cold weather also drove me back to my old sweater project, Chartreuse. I almost gave it up for the season when the temps were warm and I was dreaming of greenery all around me. It did not seem likely that I would be able to finish it before the cold weather was gone for good. I should have known better than to indulge in those daydreams. So, I have picked it up again and after about a week's worth of steady attention, it actually looks like a sweater now.
The chances that I will actually be able to finish this and wear it before the weather turns warm is pretty high now, I think. As long as I don't get distracted by something else…
As so often happens when I set goals, I got a little distracted this month. My original intention was to finish my Chartreuse, but it's been a few weeks, and it doesn't look much further along than it did before.
There is a slight difference, though. I was able to get past the pocket portion, so that is something, I suppose. Then, it got tossed aside for two completely spontaneous new mystery knit along projects that both started the first week in February. There is the Through the Loops Mystery Sock knit along.
And the Snowmelt Mystery Shawl knitalong.
Both of these designers are new to me, which is fun and I enjoy a bit of deadline knitting now and then. That's not to say that I will knit anything. Before I signed up, I made sure to check out their other designs to make sure I liked them, generally speaking. And I did and, so far, I am really enjoying these knitalongs.
I've also just recently signed up for A Year of Techniques, which will be starting up in March, so I already have the next mystery lined up when these will be wrapping up.
My original intention was to sort of try to finish one pair of socks, one shawl, and one sweater a month, but I think I'm coming to the realization that that might be a bit much to try every month. Two out of three might be a better goal.
I did manage to finish a pair of socks in January, but did not mention them here because they were a Valentine's Day gift for the husband. I used the Simple Skyp Sock pattern for these which was quite an easy to memorize pattern.
Incidentally, the husband and I had an interesting conversation the other day about process knitting versus product knitting. I always thought of myself as a product knitter. Generally speaking, I don't see the point of making something if I don't want the end product, but then he pointed out to me that I knit lots of shawls and hardly ever wear them. That is totally true. I love to knit shawls. They can be easy or challenging skillwise, but they are almost always easy on my hands, which is not true for sweaters and socks. Also, I don't need to worry if they will fit. As a result, I do have quite a few shawls which I love, but never wear. What to do with them? Anyone else have this dilemma?
Random and Mysterious
I just looked back to see when I had last posted and was surprised to see that it was a month ago! Where does the time go? May was a flurry of things for us. There was lots of anxiety about selling the house, lots of cleaning the house to show to people who did not want to buy the house, and lots of talking about our next steps. Intermingled with that was Mother's Day, our Twentieth (!!) wedding anniversary, a piano recital, field day, last days of school, and finally a week long trip to our new state to look for housing. That was really a lot to pack into one month of life! It would take too long to recap every event, so I will just show you some highlights.
Firstly, I am ever so proud of my boys who did a fabulous job at their piano recital. Their teacher is the best; so kind and loving without sacrificing high expectations. We will miss her! If you are so inclined, you can listen and watch here. If you click on the photo here, it will take you to my flickr page where you can watch the video.
Spring has been very pretty here, especially our Peonies. We missed the blooms of the purple ones while we were away, but really enjoyed the blushing pink ones.
While we were in MA, we did make some time to go into Boston and poke around a little. The Common was a nice place to wander around and we did attempt to walk the Freedom Trail, but had to cut it short because it was unbelievably windy.
Our next trip into the city a week several days later, we spent mostly inside in the Museum of Fine Arts, where we saw this amazing Chihuly sculpture. The photo does not capture the amazing color or the way it seemed to glow, even in low light.
I was so taken with this color green, that as soon as I could when I got home, I dug out some yarn of a similar hue. Then, I decided I needed a bright pink to go with it and the dark blue is there just to soak up some of the luminosity of the other two.
This trio is going to be used in Gudron Johnston's Shetland Trader Mystery Knitalong. Yes, yes, I am starting another mystery shawl. Clearly, there are not enough uncertain things in my life right now, lol! I did manage to finish my Romi mystery shawl. It is still drying, but here is a blocking picture. I'll try to get more pictures when it is dry.
In other knitting, I have been working on my blue Triticum. This photo is from the beginning of last week. I am actually past the underarm now. The yarn is delightfully soft and easy to work with. The pattern is very well written and easy to follow so far. I think I will wear this one a lot once it is done.
I also managed to finish one sock from March. Now, if I could just finish the second one! That's always the trouble with me and socks. Knitting the first sock is fun, but the second one is often a chore.
We are not sure what the next few weeks will bring, as we are still trying to buy and sell a house, so I may be in and out. If you are on Instagram, you may be able to find me posting there instead of here in the interim. My Instagram name is Crafteamama. I am still getting the hang of instagramming, so don't expect too much, but I would love to see you there!
Little Tid Bits
Here is a small collection of things I have been meaning to share with you lately. None of them would really make for an entire blog post, but maybe altogether, they can work together to make something interesting, albeit a bit random.
Awhile back, I made this neopolitan bundt cake for the younger's birthday. It was pretty easy and tasted delicious. It came from America's Test Kitchen Best Summer Desserts. The texture was dense like a pound cake and is one of the only cakes we thought tasted just as good cold as at room temperature. Ice cream is almost a necessity with this cake and I love the wow factor that it has.
The rotisserie attachment that I got for the husband for an anniversary/father's day present has turned out to be the present that just keeps on giving. Here, he did a roast beef, which we ate with cheesy herbed popovers and green beans.
Last Sunday, we splurged and did a roast duck, chinese style.
Served with rice, green onions, and szechuan pepper salt in a lettuce wrap, the duck was heavenly. Unfortunately, my older son liked it so much that I think we will have a hard time restraining him from ordering duck wherever we go now.
More yarn has arrived in the house. The skein on the far left is the one I got as a prize for finishing all the camp loopy projects successfully and the other two came along for the ride. For some reason, light blues and pinks and oranges has been on my mind lately.
See? Pinks and oranges here too. This yarn is destined to become a shawl in Susanna IC's Autumn Mystery Knit Along Shawl. I did one earlier in the year and had a blast, so when she announced this one, I jumped on board immediately. I have got to pick some beads and then I will be ready to cast on when the first clue comes out this weekend. What color beads would go with all these colors?
Sigh. I am still working on chocolate chip cookies, but I suspect you don't want to hear me moaning about that again, so I won't bother you with it.
That's the story from here. What's new with you?

There is an incredible poverty for those of us who mourn as we watch Him go to His death...for us. In mourning, we are powerless to do anything at all to help the dying One. We have nothing to offer...except ourselves. We cannot take away the pain; we cannot offer anything at all to ease the journey He is on. All we have to offer is being there with Him.
It feels to us like it is not enough that we just be there, and yet it is the greatest gift we can give. Our poverty is that we know the gift we offer is flawed, broken, and weak. But it is all we have to offer. Yet we still feel the emptiness of our own inability to offer anything at all, even though we know that all we have is what we are attempting to give. In truth, our poverty IS our gift. And we need to be at peace with that gift because it is the only gift He really desires.
On this Good Friday as we accompany Jesus on the Way of the Cross, let us not be desirous of being Simon of Cyrene who at least had something he seemed to be able to offer. That was his gift, not ours. Let us not be desirous of being John the beloved disciple, or Mary the mother of Jesus, or Mary Magdalene, all of whom wept at the foot of the cross. Their gifts were theirs, and not ours. Let us simply be ourselves with our own gift of poverty and our own gift of ourselves. That is what Jesus desires when He says; "I thirst." And only we can slake that thirst by giving ourselves to Him, at the foot of the cross, beyond words, beyond thoughts, but simply there.
May we have the grace to give the gift of our poverty to Jesus! May we have the courage to give the gift of our presence at His cross! Let us meet at the foot of the cross and keep vigil at the tomb. Shalom!

Appendix B Calibrations
Calibration Service Types
Accredited Calibrations
High Voltage Calibrations
On-Site Calibrations
Standard Calibrations
New Instrument Calibrations
What are Appendix B Calibrations?
A prerequisite of an Approved Nuclear Supplier is is maintaining a documented quality program that is successfully audited and approved by NUPIC and NIAC, to validate the quality program satisfies the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 50; Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, NQA-1 and ANSI N45.2. The scope of our Appendix B program covers every type of measuring and test equipment used in a nuclear power station.
Why are Appendix B Calibrations important?
Nuclear plants and fuel reprocessing plants contain materials that could result in risk public health and safety if mishandled. There is infrastructure in place to mitigate the consequences of accidents that could occur, and when it comes to suppliers a comprehensive Appendix B program is required to mitigate these risks.
For more than a century, we have continuously supported Exelon, its subsidiaries, and the power industry with a leading Appendix B program. Our close relationship with Exelon and other major nuclear suppliers has enabled us to build a robust quality program that surpasses the requirements of many other industries. It also aids in streamlining our relationship with any organization in the nuclear power industry and comprises all the planned and systematic actions necessary to provide quality assurance.

Steele Buys Second Quantel eQ
Steele, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based post production facility, has installed another Quantel eQ editing/effects/grading deliverables system, including the Qcolor in-context grading option. Features include a mesh warper, motion blue, a graphics tool to modify keyframes across frames, a universal keyer, layer blend modes and more.
Jerry Steele, owner and lead creative person for the facility, says the eQ versatility to handle the myriad video formats a factor in the purchase. "Most of our work at present is commercials and music videos and while the majority of it is still SD, every job has at least one HD element so eQ's resolution co-existence is vital," he said.

Three Things I Learned From Running To Disney Parks Music
They say running is 90% mental, so how do you get yourself moving and motivated to do it?
I recently downloaded music from some of the Parks at Walt Disney World, and here's what I've learned:
- Running to music from Epcot on a warm humid day totally brings me back to the day I ran the 10K in 2014. In my mind, I can even see Spaceship Earth to the left of me while I'm running. It's such a great motivator to remember a big accomplishment from your life, and then build on that. (And no crying while running in public. 😉 )
- Running to the song from Soarin' is freaking awesome!! The wind blowing in my hair, the smell of the water – it's just like being back there again. Of course it's also really amusing if you have beat-sync set on your running app. Patrick Warburton's voice gets a little funky while he's doing the intro at the beginning. 🙂
- Putting the old "Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It Street Party" music on beat-sync is not only entertaining – it's hilarious!! It sounds like the entire cast hit Starbucks for a double shot of espresso before the parade. Oh my goodness! And it is SO hard to not dance along while listening to it! Listen – you can get away with pretty much any kind of public silliness when you're at Walt Disney World. While running on a local trail? Not so much. Waving your hands around to music that no one can hear could put you in a van with the men in the white coats.
So there it is. The three things I learned this morning while running to my new Walt Disney World playlist. When you're running – especially if you're just starting out – you've got to find something that gets you moving and keeps you going along the way. I love the motivation and joy that comes from remembering all of the awesome times that we've had at Disney. It makes me smile, laugh and – most importantly – makes me forget about what I'm putting my body through at that moment! 😉

Benghazi: Arabic-Language Media Implicates Egypt's Fallen Muslim Brotherhood Regime
Tariq Taha Abu Al-Azm -- an Egyptian infantry officer who was also released by Mursi along with Al-Kashif -- has been accused by the U.S. of carrying out that bombing. He had been captured along with a cell of 27 Egyptian terrorists and one Tunisian in Nasr City.
Egyptian police revealed an email sent by Al-Kashif to Ayman Zawahiri which discussed terror training and weapons smuggling in Libya. The Egyptian prosecutor's office is reported to have said the following about Al-Azm and Al-Kashif:
Their leader, the first accused of the group and first suspect, is Tariq Taha Abu Al-Azm. The second accused is Mohammed Jamal Abdo (Al-Kashif), who sent the letter.
According to the police report, Al-Azm was in charge, not Al-Kashif. Al-Azm is a potential embarrassment to the United States. He received military training in the United States, perhaps contributing to the design of the operation at Benghazi. Another video allegedly depicted the June 6th attack, believed to have been carried out by Al-Azm himself. Al-Azm was also a senior officer at an air force base in Egypt; he was later accused of attempting to destroy American barges coming through the Suez Canal during the Iraq war.
Like Mursi, Al-Azm's group wanted the release of the blind sheikh. Was Benghazi a botched kidnapping operation? Ransom as a tactic is part of Ansar Al-Sharia's charter, according to Almogaz News. Witnesses have said it was obvious Stevens was the target of the attackers.
In the charges being prepared against him, Mursi has been implicated in the kidnapping of soldiers (Complaint 3790).
To this day, English-language reports seem to steer clear of implicating Ansar al-Sharia's Egyptian branch in the Benghazi attack. At a recent House Joint Subcommittee hearing, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross made a distinction without a difference when asked a question about Ansar al-Sharia in general; he wouldn't even admit that it was a "terrorist organization":
It's a known Jihadist organization. In a number of countries, they're not actually engaged in terrorism on the ground, but they make clear they are in line with Salafi Jihadists ideals.
Aaron Zelin also seemed willing to diminish Ansar al-Sharia's involvement. Contrary to Gartenstein-Ross' claim, Ansar Al-Sharia is a terrorist group, and is in fact al-Qaeda itself. Countless Arabic sources and terrorism experts confirm the name change was intended to keep al-Qaeda under the radar so that when the U.S. would eventually declare war on Ansar al-Sharia, it could be spun as a war on Sharia itself. Osama bin Laden reportedly requested the name change in a message found on his computer after he was killed.
According to Hanein -- a website dedicated to supporting terrorism -- "Ansar al-Sharia includes members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafist and Jihadist without distinction." Yet in his testimony, when asked if there was any evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt may have been involved in the Benghazi attacks, Gartenstein-Ross stated:
I know of absolutely no information suggesting that.
Marjan Salem is the leader of the Ansar Al-Sharia Egypt branch. Libyan intelligence claims he was a key conspirator; he was released from prison after Hosni Mubarak's fall. The Wall Street Journal reported on sources who claimed Salem was directing terrorists to Al-Kashif's Jamal network, which lends further credibility to the Libyan intelligence document.
In an article appearing in the Long War Journal, Thomas Joscelyn wrote that Al-Kashif signed a document expressing solidarity with Ansar al-Sharia founder Ahmed 'Ashoush and Mohammed al Zawahiri, a prominent voice in the group. Joscelyn also wrote:
U.S. officials think that Mohammed al Zawahiri put Jamal in touch with Ayman al Zawahiri, the emir of al-Qaeda, who also happens to be Mohammed's older brother.
With a connection between Jamal, the younger Zawahiri, and 'Ashoush established, Joscelyn included a screen shot in which Marjan and 'Ashoush are seated side by side in an al-Qaeda video.
Another article from Joscelyn reported that Al-Kashif was a top commander in Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ). EIJ merged with al-Qaeda in 2001. In written testimony for a hearing which was ultimately canceled, Jocelyn wrote:
Ansar al Sharia Egypt is led by Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) leaders who have remained loyal to al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri.
The only thing left to tie Al-Kashif to Ansar al-Sharia Egypt would be a relationship with Zawahiri. Joscelyn closes this loop in his unheard testimony:
Zawahiri communicated with one of his Egyptian followers, Muhammad Jamal al Kashef, in 2011 and 2012.
It would be rational to assume that Al-Kashif is a leader within Ansar al-Sharia Egypt, since he was a commander with EIJ, which merged with al-Qaeda. Ayman Zawahiri thus leads all the Ansar al-Sharia branches, and therefore Ansar Al-Sharia and al-Qaeda are synonymous.
Ansar Al-Sharia is comprised of devout Mursi loyalists. According to Youm7, allegiance to Mursi was pledged on the Ansar Al-Sharia Facebook page. It listed several people they threatened to assassinate for Mursi's sake.

Let Me See Those Cats
Yeah, I know, that's a weird title for a blog, but it will all be clear by the end. I promise. Years ago I heard about a buyer who had a very unusual way of purchasing a property. Now, this was back in the days when multiple offers were few and far between but her methods are worth mentioning. She would put conditional offers on over 5 properties then start negotiating with each seller until there was only one left. Strange approach but there was some method to her madness. First she could judge the motivations of the sellers and take advantage of the weakest one. It was a strategy that worked even if it burned out a few agents along the way.
In a round about way, I'm telling this story to illustrate a problem that we will face in our careers. No, I'm not just talking about high maintenance buyers, I'm talking about buyers who will use conditions to get out of deals. As agents we need to remind buyers that when they put the pen to paper they should be prepared to purchase. This is not just an opportunity to waste time.
Case in point, a buyer buys a condo through his agent, conditional on the status certificate. The lawyer reviews the documents. As time is of the essence, the listing agent calls the buyers lawyer to get an update and is told that everything is a-ok. At the same time, the buyers brother is trying to convince him to get out of the condo deal because a sweet income property just came on the market. The buyer calls his agent and tells him to use the status certificate to get out of the deal. Sorry, no can do. The seller's agent knows everything is good and threatens legal action. As you can imagine, the deal firms up.
So what does any of this have to do with cats? It's not just a catchy title. there was a story in our office about a deal that fell apart because of a status certificate. Apparently the buyer had 3 cats and the building only allowed two. The Sellers didn't ask for verification but could you imagine a different time when that could happen? "Yes, sure. I will just need some verification that you do indeed have three cats".
Someone once said that if you put a little effort into it, you can get out of any real estate deal. There are enough places to make mistakes in a typical agreement if you look close enough. Examples of discrepancies include wrong frontages and depths or mutual driveways and other easements, wrong maintenance fees, taxes and, of course, time limits. It is in our best interests to make sure our offers are bullet proof. Changing your mind is not an excuse and your clients can't hide behind a condition. Like wise, please don't tell your clients they can use a condition to get out of a deal. A recent RECO complaint resulted in an $8,000 fine to an agent for leading a buyer to think he could use a home inspection to get out of a deal.

Client or Customer? If It Quacks Like A Duck…
We all know it. In real estate there are differences between clients and customers. We learn these differences very early in our education and training. We talk about fiduciary duties, accounting, fair and honest service etcetera, but the reality is that often those lines get blurred and that puts us into a difficult situation. Case in point. An agent, lets call him Terry, gets a call on one of his listings. The couple want to look at it at 5pm on a Thursday. Terry is not available to show the property so he gives the lead to Fran, an agent in his office who often acts as a buyer agent for him. Fran meets the couple at the condo and shows them around. They spend a long time there and ask Fran a bunch of questions about the property such as, what closing are the sellers looking for, what is included and excluded, and what facilities are in the building. Fran is happy to answer their questions. After a few minutes, it is clear that this couple is very interested in the condo. They start asking more questions about past sales, additional parking costs, maintenance fees and reserve funds. Fran knows the building and answers their questions. Finally the couple tell Fran that they are prepared to make an offer. They want to know why the seller is selling, what the Seller is likely to accept, closing date, and how much commission the seller will be paying and what clauses they should include in their offer. Fran is no dummy. She advises the couple that the property is inline with past sales and is well priced but gives no details into motivation or details into the listing contract.
The couple tell Fran that their lawyer has advised them not to sign a BRA and that they should only enter into a customer agreement. They also feel that it is only fair that since they contacted the Selling agent directly they should only pay 1/2 the commission however they still want Fran to prepare the offer. So here is the crux of the situation. Fran, has treated them, for the most part, like clients. She has provided information and offered advice on the property before establishing what kind of relationship the couple wished to assume. This creates a problem for Fran. If something were to go wrong during the transaction the couple could hold Fran responsible. She has after all put herself into an implied client/buyer relationship. If she knew that the couple wanted only to be customers, her answers on most of the questions would have been much simpler…"Please have your lawyer direct his questions to the Sellers or the Sellers agent". By doing so, she exonerates herself from any potential question of representation.
As to the comments about commission, the answer again is simple. "My firm has been retained by the sellers to market their property for sale. The details of that contract are confidential and do not impact the sale price".
It is only human nature to want to help and that desire becomes stronger when there are dollar signs on the other side, but the pitfalls of taking too many assumptions can be equally devastating. The example above highlights the importance of that critical first interaction with a potential buyer who you meet through a direct call or even at an open house. The realities of the Toronto market are that buyers are looking for a price advantage, just don't let your eagerness to make a deal cloud your judgement.

Mastermind for May 30th. More on Bully Offers
Happy Hump Day. I hope you are getting through it with flying colours. With this weather, what's not to like? For us at Bosley Real Estate, Wednesdays are Mastermind Days. We believe in the power of inter-office discussions so much that we actually hold two per week, one Uptown and one Downtown. Great discussions every week, so if you missed today, you missed some great conversations follow-up discussions about Bully offers. So let's get started.
If you are a buyer these days, chances are you are feeling the fatigue of the chase. It is getting tough out there and I have talked about some interesting ways buyers are trying to get any added advantage. This post will touch on one. One such advantage, potential as it may be, is to have your agent try to submit an offer ahead of the offer date. This is known as a Bully Offer. You have to know your stuff to either make a Bully Offer or to present one to your clients. The discussion at Mastermind today centred around whether or not you disclose the contents of the offer before presenting. Lets say an agent wishes to submit a Bully Offer. The listing agent asks what the terms are but the buying agent doesn't want to say. We have been taught not to talk price before the presentation but Bullys are a little different. Our group agreed that they would communicate the details of the offer to the client before presentation. Here's the thinking on that. If I have a listing and you call me with a Bully Offer, I want to know that it is worth my client's time. If the house is $499k and your Bully is for $640K I will go to the end of the Earth to get this information to my clients. For a Bully of $520K I will still try to find them but I probably won't recommend that they take the time to look at it. We also talked about agents who say they can't get in touch with their clients. Do you actually expect me to believe that your clients cannot be reached? Today? Seriously? No phone? Seriously? That just doesn't fly (unless they are actually flying, but most likely they will touch down in the next few hours). So when they say they can't be reached, what the agent is really saying is "I don't really want to work tonight to get the best price for my client".
The take away on this is pretty simple and goes back to something that I focus much of my energy on. Give your clients all the possible scenarios when you list their home. Let them know that the house might not sell on offer day, it might sell in multiple offers, or they might get a Bully offer. Outline the disadvantages and advantages of each situation and let them decide what to do. If the clients categorically do not want to look at offers BEFORE the date set for offers, have them put it on paper. Scan it and send it to your phone so that you can forward it to potential Bully Offer agents. Simple. Yes, it is a lot more work, but you need to be prepared for any eventuality.

A well-defined and and deliberately measured link building camping is a very effective tool that decides the rank of your website in the search engines. Search engines evaluate the collective number of quality back links that point to a particular web site. The very instant reason of placing a strategic link building campaign in the row is to increase traffic to a particular web site. Campaigns are not only able to increase the traffic but also have a bigger impact on Google Page rank that measures the importance of a particular website. Link building is only be beneficial if done with some proposed matrices else if it seems spam or irrelevant, websites could be penalized or even banned. Number of things should be kept in mind while launching a potential link building campaign:
- Deep study of natural link simulation guidelines
- Evaluating the individual link profile
- Exploring various ways to obtain effective links
- Creating own link building program
Defining the link campaign goals
An organized link building course of action must be conceived to accomplish a number of genuine and target oriented goals. Some of the goals include:
- Expanding relevant keyword portfolio
- Augmenting targeted referral traffic
- Increase brand and market awareness
- Naturalize your link profile
- Flawless and frequent indexing of the web pages
- Improve Geo-specific rankings
- Expanding relevant keyword portfolio:
- With a perfect link campaign, website owners key on number of issues like diversifying the targeted search audience, increasing long tail organic search engine rankings and huge revenue conversion from search engines. Experts suggest that it could be done by building deep links to existing pages using longer tail anchor text.
- Increase targeted traffic:
- Many a times link building works as a tool to enhance the targeted traffic from the search engine rankings. Owners have their own objective for the purpose. They may have will to grow sales, product leads and brand awareness. To achieve the objective, they usually conduct social media campaigns like content distribution and blog posting and explore expertise-based audience engagement with relevant, influential groups and communities.

- Improved brand presence is another topmost advantage of well-formulated link building campaigns. The main objective during the brand awareness through link building regime is to tell the potential audience about the launch of new products and services and spread the service news via several content tools. The link building process helps here to manage the content distribution and conversation participation in and across the social media.

Hmmm... several of my old links for this sort of info have gone bad. Here are some that are still good:
As jeffa mentions, there is the widget demo that comes with your TK installation. But there is also a copious collection (over 90 separate files) of other docs on various pieces of the TK collection of tools. These are all available with the Windows install as they are on Linux.

text: Tips&Tricks - When my data was replicated in RA-GRS? 22. September 2017 Kamil Mrzygłód Azure Comments (0) Today is Friday so it's time for something quick and easy. When working with Azure Storage, you might wonder from time to time when your data was replicated recently. This gives some insight into how Azure Storage internally works and what are the drawbacks of this component. Let's find last synchronization date and consider for a moment what it really means for us. Synchronization date and time Before we start - to be actually able to find the synchronization timestamp the actual replication has to happen. This means, that for this feature LRS mode of a storage account, it just won't work. You may ask why - the answer is fairly simple. LRS replicates data only within a datacenter and, what is even more important, it does it synchronously. There's no replication between many regions = there's no such thing like synchronization because it's either data is saved and replicated or the whole operation fails. Presumably synchronization timestamp should be available in other three models of data replication - ZRS, GRS and RA-GRS - but surprisingly... it's not. This feature works only for RA-GRS accounts because of one simple thing - this is the only mode, which allows you to read data from a secondary location. Of course it has some limits(like you cannot declare failover to another region), but finally you'll be able to read replicated data. You can easily read last synchronization date by going to Azure Portal and accessing e.g. Tables: Initial status of Table Storage with RA-GRS mode Is my data replicated? This is a serious question - if geo-replication happens asynchronously, will my data be copied to the secondary location without corruption? Well, it depends - there's an obvious gap between the primary and the secondary storage and the answer is directly related to the fact when a disaster happened. What is important here is the fact, that Azure Storage out-of-the-box doesn't guarantee, that each and every record or blob will be replicated on time. Of course it doesn't mean, that data from the half of a dat will be lost - we're talking about a few minutes - but still for some systems losing a one record means being totally unreliable. What can you do improve your guarantees and improve consistency in geo-replication? I strongly advise to read this article regarding possible outages in Azure Storage and consequences. What for sure you can do is to implement your own backup policy and support in-built mechanism of replication by performing synchronous writes to additional storage. Depending on your needs and expectation using a different storage(like CosmosDB, which introduced Table Storage on steroid) could be a viable solution also.

Pirates hijack Italian tugboat in Gulf of Aden
CNN) -- An Italian tugboat sent a distress call to a NATO ship Saturday before it was hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden, the tug's owner told CNN.
Claudio Bartolotti owns Micoperi Marine Contractors, based in the Italian city of Ravenna. He said he spoke with the captain of the Buccaneer at 11 a.m., and all was well.
An hour later, Micoperi received an e-mail from the captain saying the boat had been seized by pirates, Bartolotti said. He has heard nothing since.
The Buccaneer, which flies an Italian flag, has 16 crew members -- 10 Italians, five Romanians and one Croatian. It was pulling two barges.
The Gulf of Aden is off the East African nations of Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia.
Earlier Saturday, Cmdr. Chris Davies from the Northwood Maritime Command center in the United Kingdom, said a NATO ship about 100 miles away from the tug picked up its distress call, but was too far away to help.
Davies had described the Buccaneer as American-owned, flying an Italian flag. He said the pirates approached the tug at 11:46 a.m., and within about five minutes it was in their hands.
This is being discussed at Information Dissemination in depth and with much more knowledge than you will find here.

Last week I posted some ideas about how to shake off the torpor and malaise of Q1-2019 in the digital ad/marketing business. Today I'm speaking to managers and sales leaders. This is a moment where you can (and should!) reshape your relationship with your team. What looks like a rough patch is actually a garden of possibility.
Whether you're a CRO, a regional manager, a vertical category lead or even a project captain, there are some immediate, tangible and highly effective moves to be made.
STAQ is generously underwriting this week's Drift. STAQ's Industry Benchmarks provides actionable insights into your programmatic performance compared to the broader marketplace. This week's market level insight: Open auction hits 90% of total programmatic revenue in January and February of 2019, a level not crossed in any month in 2018. Join STAQ's Industry Benchmarks today.
No Group is Too Small for a Culture. Those who wait for the company to define and establish a culture and values for their teams are inevitably frustrated. Think of the sales team you lead (and don't forget the account managers and others who support!) as if it were a platoon. Unit cohesion is everything, and Team You is looking to you – their leader – for inspiration and guidance. Engage them (in a group and individually) with these questions: As a team, what do we believe? And How do we treat one another? It won't all happen at once, but it will begin to happen immediately.
Manage the Moments. If you think management is about the reviews you conduct and the meetings you lead, think again. What you do – occasionally – in the big moments pales in importance beside what you do in all the little ones. Are you pausing and getting your team members to bring answers along with the problems? Are you leading conversations with optimism and patience? Are you summoning the discipline to be completely clear with your employees? Like parenting, management is not something you can schedule.
Reinvent the Meeting. When you do bring your team together, put some real thought and planning into it. Do in a team meeting what you can only do in a team meeting. Don't waste time reviewing numbers and facts. Decide. Question. Plan. Prioritize. Collaborate. If there's no strong verb associated with your meeting, it's not serving your needs or your culture.
Don't Scrimp on the Inspiration. Statistically, most of us don't sit in the pews on Sunday anymore, but we are joining the Church of TED in record numbers. There has never been more thoughtful motivation available than there is right now, all with a mouse click. Real people are overcoming real adversity and re-framing business and leadership practices, and they're giving it to us for free. Program a 5-minute video or short article into your team meetings, along with some discussion time. You may get an eye-roll or a cynical comment along the way, but stay with it. For strugglers, it's hope; for performers, it's fuel.
Team You won't just happen. It takes work and discipline. But it's your most impactful – and controllable – driver of success.
A customized sales strategy workshop for your team is easier and more cost-effective than you might think. And it may be the key to not only performance, but retention of your best people. Visit www.upstreamgroup.com/workshops or reach out directly to learn more.

Bloody, powerful, hot in an antithesis-to-another-sexy-witch-way, Game of Thrones is the perfect Halloween inspo if you're looking for something a little different for Halloween 2017. If you like to stay on pretty side (and who can blame ya?) then Daenerys is the obvious choice, if cute's more your thing try a Direwolf. Want to go all out scary? A white walker wins hands down. Here's how to make your GoT outfit pop.
A White Walker
With their icy-white skin and scarily blue eyes the White Walkers, also known as The Others, are an obvious scary choice.
What you'll need:
White face paint, black eyeshadow, eyelash glue, cotton wool
The Mother of Dragons manages to stay looking beautiful no matter what. Daenery's has many style evolutions across the series but we're going with the Qarth look, if you fancy more of a Dothraki feel then swap out the dress for leather gloves and a brown vest.
What you'll need:
A blonde or silver wig, blue dress, gold belt or a ribbon, a dragon accessory.
Customise your wig with Daernerys waves – don't use heat, as fancy dress wigs tend to be synthetic and it'll just frazzle, instead dampen it and put into small plaits then take these out once dry. Finish the look by creating a deep side parting and twisting one side back. When it comes to makeup, keep it natural but emphasise your brows. For the finishing touch, remember she always has a hint of dragon, so carry a figurine or egg, or attach one to your dress or shoulder.
Like your Halloween looks to have a touch of animal magic? Then go for a cute Direwolf. Beloved pets of the Stark family, choose Jon Snow's albino wolf Ghost for max effect – who knows, you might just find a Jon Snow to team up with at the party.
What you'll need: Fake fur and facepaint
You'll need to fashion a hood with ears, so it's time to get out the needle and thread. There's loads of Youtube tutorials showing you how to create the hood, then for the body, sew or fabric glue patches of fake fur to a white dress or white tee and leggings. Then just draw a black nose and whiskers and you're good to go. Sounds a hassle? Keep an eye out for a white fluffy onesie for a costume in seconds.
The Shame Nun
We don't know why nuns are spooky, they just are and none more so than Septa Unella the Shame Nun. Plus, her ringing bell is great if you love a prop.
What you'll need: Long black or grey dress, a grey scarf, a bell, length of grey rope and old-looking book.
All you need to do is find a long-sleeved dark-coloured dress, fashion a belt round your waist with a length of grey string or rope and pin a grey scarf round your head. Then you just need to practice your expression of disgust and warm up your vocals to shout SHAME at everyone you come across. Sorted.

NICOLA STURGEON has demanded a civil service inquiry into the leaking of a memo which claimed she privately wanted to see Conservatives remain in power following the May 7 General Election.
The SNP leader described the allegation as "100% untrue" and said she had written to Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood to demand a Whitehall probe into how the account of her conversation with the French ambassador was obtained by the Daily Telegraph.
She said the story was a sign of "panic" in Westminster over the surge in support for the SNP, and issued a challenge to Labour leader Ed Miliband to state publicly that he would work with the SNP to "lock out" David Cameron from Downing Street in the event of a hung Parliament.
Miliband described the memo - written by a UK civil servant - as a "damning revelation" that the SNP was saying one thing in public and another in private, which he said made clear that the only way for Scottish voters to get the Conservatives out of office was to vote Labour.
The Labour leader again ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP, but declined to comment on the possibility of a looser agreement to co-operate if the election result is unconclusive.
Miliband said: "I'm very clear that there won't be a coalition with the SNP. That's not going to happen. As for how other parties will end up voting on a Labour Queen's Speech, that's a matter for them. I want a majority Labour government."
Miliband did not rule out a post-election deal, short of coalition, under which the SNP might prop up a minority Labour government on a vote-by-vote or "supply and confidence" basis, saying: "What I'm saying very clearly is we are not going to have a coalition with the SNP. As for other post-election possibilities, I'm not getting into that."
The memo was published in the Daily Telegraph at a time when polls suggest that the SNP is on track to seize dozens of Labour seats north of the border, and Ms Sturgeon's personal popularity is soaring in the wake of a well-received performance in this week's televised leaders' debate.
The note was written by a British civil servant following a conversation with consul-general Pierre-Alain Coffinier regarding the meeting between Sturgeon and ambassador Sylvie Bermann, who was on her first visit to Scotland in February.
According to a copy published on the Daily Telegraph website, it said: "Discussion appears to have focused mainly on the political situation, with the FM stating that she wouldn't want a formal coalition with Labour; that the SNP would almost certainly have a large number of seats ... that she'd rather see David Cameron remain as PM." The note went on to say that Ms Sturgeon had said she did not think Labour leader Ed Miliband was "prime minister material".

I don't understand why in the Noah's Ark story God destroyed every living thing on earth except for eight people and a bunch of animals just because people did not pray and remember Him? Could a Creator have the right to destroy creatures? Similarly, can parents take their child's life when the child is not listening to them or showing proper respect to the parents?
God's justification for destroying the Creation in the flood goes well beyond your statement. For instance Genesis 6:5 tells us the Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.
But it is the Creator's right to destroy His creation, especially when they rebel against him and reject the provision He has made for saving them. Studies show there was room on the ark for anyone who wanted to climb aboard, and God left the door open for 7 days after Noah and his family entered it (Genesis 7:10). But no one came.
Sadly 2 Peter 3:10 tells us God will have to destroy the creation again, for the same reasons. And like it was with the Ark, there's room in Heaven for anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord to be saved today (Romans 10:13). But as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be this time. Many will ignore the signs of coming judgment and be swept away.
By the way, parents don't create their children. The birthing process is called procreation, which means to produce offspring, and was delegated to mankind by God. In exchange, parents are given a stewardship responsibility for the children they procreate. Throughout history the murder of children has been a sin certain to evoke the wrath of God because He thinks of them as His.

5 reasons why you should outsource your marketing
Are you tired of doing all the work by yourself ? Are you exhausted with working 90 hours a week just to try uselessly to grow your small business and take it to the next level ?You're not alone ! Every business owner does face this issue at least once in his business career. So, you might be thinking of either hiring some employees to help you with your business or outsource your marketing. But, why does outsourcing seem a better option ? Here are 3 main reasons for you to outsource your marketing immediately !
- Saves you time to work on other important tasks in your business or to just relax !
Being a business owner nowadays means you have to keep up to date with all the business news, all the strategies that might take your business to the next level, all the tools and ways to market your products, and so on. These do take too much time of your life, and outsourcing your marketing could save you some of that time to do other revenue producing tasks, or to just relax and have some fun. This could indeed set you free to do some sports or go watch a football match with your best friend ! Such activities are needed in one's life for him to entertain himself and forget about all the work's stress !
- Hire experts instead of just entry level administrators !
The reason some of us, business owners, hire some entry level employees as part time or full time workers is because of our low budget. But, even if this is convenient for our minimal financial budgets, It won't give you the help you could get from a marketing expert ; these entry level marketing employees are just order takers, not next move makers, not thinkers and decision takers. They won't therefore make you benefit from any marketing and strategical expertise that a marketing expert could be giving you. In fact, outsourced marketing professionals are not full times workers for any company or individual. This means that they work for a big number of customers all at once. You may be wondering now what does that have to do with expertise, or you might be pondering that as a cause of them not giving your work the importance it requires to get because of the huge number of their customers. Unfortunately, none of this is true, Fortunately, I mean ! This working style gives them access to an infinite number of ideas and inspirational thoughts they get from their contact with plenty of customers. So, some of their best ideas for some clients are ones they get from other ones, coming from completely different industries ! This variety is indeed a source of creativity and inspiration. And not to forget the fact that these marketing experts are, by the end, entrepreneurs, just like us ! This actually means that they know what it takes to do the work, and how hard is t to run the business. That's why they'll give you the best they can to ensure you won't struggle down the way !
- Costs you less than an FTE ( Full Time Entry )
Hiring a professional marketing expert costs you as little as 50% what can cost you a full time entry or mid level marketing coordinator. In other words, on one hand, paying half the price to hire a professional marketing consultant will give you acces to all his marketing expertise and all his strategies and helpful ideas ; things you won't get with an entry level employee. On the other hand, thses FTEs would only cost you more and more expenses ; labor laws, health care, payroll, taxes, and much more than this. You will be needing therefore a human resources professional just to manage all your employees ! These would not even exist if you just hire a marketing expert instead !
To sum up, outsourcing your marketing will mean having a professional, experienced help and a source of inspiration to grow your business and take it to the next level, for costs far less than what could require a normal entry level employee. So, why don't you give it a try ? I bet your rival business owners already use this method. So, why don't you ?

4 Must-Haves to Create the Ultimate Home Media Room
ACS Helps New York Families Host Better Movie Nights
Our world is filled with a plethora of entertainment options; technology has made it possible to bring many of those experiences to the comfort of your own home. You can escape reality by getting lost in a movie on a high-definition 4K TV, or by playing your favorite video game without ever having to leave your home. With the help of ACS, you can transform your family room into a multifunctional living space. The key is to design a room with the right technology that is also aesthetically pleasing and a natural part of your decor. Here are some of the must-haves to create the ultimate multifunctional home media room.
Must-have #1: A big screen
While most homeowners might think bigger is always better when it comes to television and screens that is not necessarily the case. For the best picture clarity and greatest detail, you'll need to consider the size and layout of your space. The farther away your seating area, the smaller your TV appears. Ideally, you'll want to have a screen that fills a certain amount of your field of view. The recommendations are as follows:
- 40 inch class TV = 4-6 feet away
- 55 inch class TV = 6-9 feet way
- 65 inch class TV = 10-13 feet away
- 75 inch class TV = 15-19 feet away
- 85 inch plus TV = 20+ feet away
These are guidelines to follow, not steadfast rules. The design consultants at ACS take an individual approach to each project we work on.

Must-have #2: Sound Quality
For that immersive theater-like sound, a home media room needs quality speakers true to the filmmaker's and music editor's standards, carefully placed within the room. By properly situating speakers and calibrating the system correctly, your escape from reality will be complete.
Must-have #3: Integrated Equipment
Gone are the days of oversized speakers, piles of electronics, and out of controls cords. Thanks to advancements in technology, our family rooms now feature slim, flat screen TVs, personal handheld devices as remote controls, equipment in hidden locations, and surround sound speakers integrated so seamlessly they are nearly invisible. With integrated technology, you won't disturb the décor and character of your room.
Must-have #4: Flexible Seating
Since your family room has become a multifunctional space, few families are opting for a sofa directly in front of a TV, or a row of theater style seats facing forward. Instead, families are choosing multiple varied furniture pieces arranged in a manner to serve conversation as well as TV viewing. When hosting gatherings, friends and family members can talk comfortably, and then, when it's time for a movie, they can shift the furniture to focus on the entertainment.
Regardless of your home, we'll help you create an individual entertainment space that incorporates the technology you require, and still suits the room's décor. Contact us to learn more about hosting better movies nights or get started by filling out a short questionnaire.

How are lofts converted?
So, you've made the decision to make use of the space in your roof, but how are lofts converted. The simple answer is that they are transformed through building work with insulation, flooring and electrical fittings to turn them into a room. However, to ensure that it's done correctly, there are a few things that you'll need to consider.
Can it be done?
Before embarking on your conversion, you need to know if it can be done and whether or not if it's suitable for remodelling. One quick method is to check out other houses on your street. Can you see if any of them have got loft conversions – windows in the roof? Another way is to measure the head height, which means measuring from the floor to highest part of the roof. The minimum height for a conversion is 2.2metres. Alternatively you could ask a builder to inspect your roof, many will offer a free no obligation quote.
Do you have trusses or rafters?
You can check this by just looking through the loft hatch. Rafters run along the edge of the roof and create a triangular hollow space. Whereas, trusses run through the criss-cross section of the loft. The rafter option is the easiest to convert, however, a conversion with trusses is also possible but it will cost more as your loft will require additional supports to replace them.
Type of loft conversion
Now you've established that your loft can be converted, it's time to choose which type of conversion to go for;
Roof-light – by far the cheapest option. This type just involves having a skylight installed, laying secure flooring and adding suitable access to your new room.
Dormer – Generally the most popular type of conversion. Dormers are an extension that sticks out over the slope of the roof. They are also suitable for any type of house with a sloped roof.
Hip-to-gable – This works by extending the slop (hip) of your roof at the side of your property outwards to create a vertical (gable) wall. This type is only suitable for detached and semi-detached properties.
Mansard – these run the whole length of your roof and alter the overall angle to make it almost vertical. These are suitable for all property types
Sturdy reinforced flooring is essential for a loft conversion. As a new room it needs to be able to withhold regular foot traffic and adequate furnishings. No-one wants a wardrobe to fall onto them through the floor upstairs.

Small vases bring an element of coziness to a tabletop, and they're more durable than those large, hand-blown glass affairs. This makes them the perfect centerpiece of choice for families with small, curious children. Whether you're a collector of vintage vases or you just have a few favorites that caught your eye on your last shopping expedition, building a tablescape around them is an attractive way to showcase your selections.
Collected on a Display Base
There are a variety of household items you can use as a display base for showcasing a cluster of small vases. Coordinate your choice of base to complement the style of the vases.; for example, a tarnished silver tray to hold porcelain or silver vases, or a polished glass mirror to highlight a collection of small, elegant glass vases. You might try for a shabby chic look by gathering small jewel-toned bottles on an old wooden serving tray and dropping in a single long-stemmed bloom. Or set a single small milk glass vase on a lovely vintage saucer and fold an antique linen beside it.
Lined Up
If you're decorating a long table, such as one for a reception, you might place single small vases holding a bloom or branch at intervals along the length. Beef up the weight of each vase by encircling it with a simple candle ring made from real vines or flower stems woven together. Or line up five to seven small vases in the center of the table with each vase holding a single flower. Weave a string of white or colored lights between them for illumination.
Small vintage milk bottles make quaint vases. Collect them in an old wire carrier and set the whole display in the table center. Fill each bottle with flowers, or drop a single bloom in just one. You might also remove the glass from a wooden picture frame and place it flat on your table. Collect small vases together inside the frame and scatter river rocks between them. Plant a small succulent in each vase. Remember to disassemble your display before you try to move it.
Eclectic Displays
Sink single small blooms down inside a collection of vases, then fill each one with water to make tiny submerged centerpieces. You could also fill vases one-quarter full of nontraditional vase filler -- sand or aquarium gravel -- and cluster them around the base of an apothecary jar filled with seashells, starfish or sand dollars. Add height and interest to your vase display by elevating a grouping of small vases on a decorative cake stand covered with a vintage doily.

We've all read those series before, where when the big revelation occurs, we're told how everything fits together -- except it doesn't. Or for that matter, watched television series where by nature of there being a dozen different writers, some pieces just don't quite fit with the others. The reason I mention this phenomenon is because "Angel & Faith" #18 has just slapped onto the table its version of "This is how it all comes together." There's just one catch: it all really does come together.
Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs use "Angel & Faith" #18 to thoroughly explain not only what's going on with (as revealed last issue) the return of the demon Eyghon, but why Angel's always been so convinced that they could bring Giles back from the dead even though it should be impossible. In just 22 pages, they reveal it in a manner that is not only satisfying, but fun to read to boot. That's no small feat; a massive exposition dump should be, by all accounts, a dull experience. Fortunately, Gage understands that he can't just tell readers what's going on, but rather has to show it instead. "Angel & Faith" #18 dips back into the past occasionally to show us scenes playing out that led up to Eyghon's return, filling in the gaps since we last saw this demon.
Gage doesn't lose sight of the fact that a little action couldn't hurt, though, so there's also a lot going on with Angel, Faith and the rest of the Slayers' attacks against Eyghon. There's a rather dangerous limitation on who can and can't be possessed, one that manages to do so with such a mundane threshold that Gage ends up making Eyghon a much more menacing foe than previously seen. It ends up being a fun little adventure, even as things get dangerous.
As great as Gage's plotting has been, I don't want to forget Isaacs' contributions to the series, too. She's been doing a strong job here as well; not just nailing the likenesses of Angel, Faith and Giles, but also bringing to life an energetic and attractive comic. The glimpses into what a world ruled by Eyghon would look like are wonderfully apocalyptic, and the punk rock early life of Giles is as entertaining as you can imagine. Best of all, though, is how well Isaacs can sell an action scene. When Angel and Faith come running into the chamber, you can practically see them move; the trail of blood on the left tricks your mind into thinking that Angel's sword is slicing across the panel, while Faith's hair moving off to the side gives her the illusion of movement as well. It's that sort of understanding on how to make static art feel fluid that makes "Angel & Faith" look so good, and that's before you get to little moments like Faith's look of regret and hope at the reanimated Giles that will melt your heart.
It feels like "Angel & Faith" is coming close to an end, and that'll be a shame if only because of how much fun it's been. "Angel & Faith" #18 is a perfect example of that entertainment; Gage and Isaacs have turned out not just a good media tie-in comic, but a good comic, period. Its parent title might run a little hot and cold, but "Angel & Faith" has been consistently strong. If Gage and Isaacs work together on another comic once this is over, I know I'll stick around to read it, too. Another good show from this duo.

Leveraging Security Controls and Analytics to Protect Sensitive Data
Security breaches appear to happen with alarming regularity these days and it continues to demonstrate the cost of not protecting business-critical systems, data and applications. Over the past year, breaches have left no industry untouched with companies like Adobe, Target, eBay and Neiman Marcus being a few of the most notable victims.
Sadly, in many instances, the victim of the breach doesn't discover it themselves, which is a pattern that has also been identified in the Verizon Data Breach Report. Organizations connected to the Internet are coming to accept that it's not a matter of if you will be breached, but a matter of when. And, the security risk is not at the department or group level but at the enterprise business level now.
Consequently, management executives and board members are taking an increased interest in their organization's security posture. They want to see that the security team is monitoring for early indicators of risk and breach activity, as well as how quickly it would be detected. Their job is on the line.
For security teams, this means digging through huge volumes of security event and alert data that is being generated every day. Logs, incidents, advanced threat warnings and alerts. That is a lot of data. Making it nearly an impossible task to access, analyze and take action on. Where do they start?
Organizations must gain more visibility and business context to protect sensitive data from breaches, vulnerabilities and threats. We, at Tripwire, recognize the complexity of the problem customers need to solve and the security ecosystem required to do it.
Through the Tripwire Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program, we have teamed up with other security vendors, such as FireMon, Brinqa, HP, Lockpath and Kenna Security (formally known as Risk I/O) to help solve this challenge. These partners offer a variety of capabilities across event, risk and forensic analytics.
The deep library of controls in Tripwire's security configuration, vulnerability and log management solutions provide unique discovery, detection and monitoring capabilities. By leveraging the deep end-point intelligence data from Tripwire in these analytics tools, organizations can gain unprecedented visibility and business context to quickly identify and prioritize their security actions and reduce the cyber-threat detection, response and prevention gap.
A great example of this is an international gaming company that uses Tripwire Enterprise and HP ArcSight. As an on-line gaming company, they are more prone to compromises and potential breaches. To help monitor and protect critical assets from a potential beach, they maintain a maser list of over 5,000 known "bad" hashes that are harmful to their environment.
This list of 5,000 hashes was loaded into HP ArcSight. Changes and events of interest provided them with an understanding of what is going on in the environment. Tripwire Enterprise then sweeps the environment in real-time, monitoring for changes. When these changes occur, Tripwire Enterprise sends them back over to ArcSight to compare against the master "bad" hash list.
This seamless integration between Tripwire Enterprise and HP ArcSight helps this gaming company increase security and harden systems to ensure they gain the intelligence needed to protect against potential breaches. It allows them to focus on the important and potentially harmful hashes to the environment, giving them a jump start on distinguishing between data noise and serious threats.

text: Bob gave us an early version of the house plans. They're cool! Looks like a crawl space is the best way to go, both financially and to allow for contractors to not have to be as tightly coordinated. The vaulted ceiling will have cross beams, one of which is cleverly the railing for the sleeping loft. We believe we can use the old vinyl siding from the garage on the front of the house so it matches our house. Main blog post here
