The antivirus industry has been trying to deal with false positive detection issues for a long, long time -and it's not going to be fixed anytime soon. To better understand why, the physicist in me draws an analogy with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle – where, in its simplest distillation, the better you know where an atom is, the less likely you'll know it's momentum (and vice versa) – aka the "observer effect". In the malware detection world, the more positive you are that something is malware, the less likely you'll catch other malware. And the reverse of that, the better you are at detecting a spectrum of malware, the less positive you will be that it is malware.
In physics there's a variable, ℏ the reduced Planck constant
– that acts a bit like the fulcrum of a teeter-totter ("seesaw" for the
non-American rest-of-the-world); it's also a fundamental constant of
our universe – like the speed of light. In the antivirus world of
Uncertainty Principles the fulcrum isn't a universal constant, instead
you could probably argue that it's a function of cash. The more money
you throw at the uncertainty problem, the more gravity-defying the
teeter-totter would appear to become.
That may all sound a little discomforting. Yes, the more capable your
antivirus detection technologies are in detecting malware, the more
frequently false positives will crop up. But you should also bear in
mind that, in general, the overall percentage of false positives tends
to go down (if everyone is doing things properly). What does that mean
in reality? If you're rarely encountering false positives with your
existing antivirus defenses, you're almost certainly missing a whole lot
of maliciousness. It would be nice to say that if you're getting a
whole lot of false positives you must, by corollary, be detecting (and
stopping) a shed-load of malware — but I don't think that's always the
case; it may be because you're just doing it wrong. Or, as the French
would say – C'est la vie.

July 27, 2011 § 3 Comments
After I posted the discussion of the Stockholm Syndrome, I remembered the following quote by FDR (sorry about the delay, but my 80-year old brain is not as agile as I want to believe it once was.
FDR once said: "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." Quoted by Molly Ivans in a July 3, 2001 column.
§ 3 Responses to Postscript
A great addition to your Stockholm Syndrome post.
I was a great fan of Molly Ivans and I miss her commentary.
We have a burgeoning Fascsit Movement today. It is alive and well.
The descendants of the proposed Coup, which General Smedley Butler refused to lead, are still at work.
The Brothers Koch are the sons of one of the founders of the John Birch Society.
The Bush Crime Family are descendents of Prescott Bush who was involved in the attempted coup.
These people have not given up at their attempt to wipe out the Middle Class. They have ben joined by the DeVoss Family, the Walton Family, The Mellon-Scaife family, the Coors Family and a few others who are actively trying to solidify a Fascist Government in the United States.
Sinclair Lewis' book (which I recently read) "It Can't Happen Here" was prescient.
When the Governor of Michigan now has the power to unilaterally take over any unit of government in that state, and push aside all elected officials that is almost exactly what is described in Lewis' novel.
"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag and carrying a cross".
Please keep writing.
I have finally determined (reinforced by a column in yesterday's NY Times) that Obama is the first "third party" President. He is not a Democrat, but an Independent which appears to be grounded in a philosophy of passionless pragmatism.

You know that spaying and neutering your pets keeps them from reproducing, but what if you want puppies and kittens someday? It's not worth waiting for spay and neuter surgery for potential fuzzy dreams.
Spaying and neutering are good for your pet's long-term health and for your wallet. Here's everything you need to know about this surgical procedure from an animal hospital in Largo and Seminole.
When to Spay and Neuter in Largo and Seminole
With cats and dogs, the younger you can get them spayed/neutered, the better. Of course, you shouldn't make this decision yourself. After a physical examination, your vet will decide if your pet is in good enough physical health for spaying/neutering. Age and breed are other considerations that come into play.
Reasons to Spay Your Pet or Neuter Your Pet
If you care about your pet's long-term health, you should choose to spay your pet or neuter your pet. Not only can this surgery potentially stop certain sexual behaviors (such as aggression, humping, and urine spraying), but it can also save you money on huge vet bills. Spayed/neutered pets are less likely to get testicular cancer, prostatic hyperplasia, breast cancer, uterine infections, and more.
Lastly, you're doing your part for the homeless pet population by not contributing to it any further.
Spay and Neuter Surgery: What to Expect
More than likely, your pet will receive an orchiectomy, commonly referred to be as being neutered, or an ovariohysterectomy commonly referred to as being spayed. By taking out the male testes and the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, reproduction cannot occur. Some pet owners opt for smaller surgeries like ovariectomies, vasectomies, and hysterectomies. These prevent reproduction but do not change behavior as mentioned above.
During the surgery, pets are anesthetized. This procedure is often quick, simple, and fairly routine. If you can't take your pet home the same night, you can often come and pick them up the next day. If your pet seems slower than usual, don't worry too much. They just had surgery, so they're going to need a lot of sleep, more than usual. To keep their incisions from bursting open, pets are not advised to engage in any rigorous activity.

National Walking Day 2017
April 5th is National Walking Day, so get out and take a walk! The American Heart Association says just 30 minutes of walking every day is enough to give your heart a boost. But many health experts recommend taking at least 10,000 steps per day, which adds up to about five miles.
Not sure where to walk? United Healthcare has you covered. Check out this interactive map, showing 10,000-step walks all around Seattle:
Remember, even if you can't tackle a 5-mile walk right away, you can still head out for a stroll. Start with 5 minutes and work your way up. Your body will thank you!

Why People Eat (the Wrong) Mushrooms
By Marilyn Shaw, Mycology Consultant
Why People Eat (the Wrong) Mushrooms
Few, if any, fields of interest are more dichotomized than that of mycophagy, the eating of fungi. You either love the mushrooms or hate them. There seems to be no middle ground. When the subject of a mushroom poisoning comes up, almost invariably someone will ask, "Why would anyone eat that?" This talk, "Why People Eat (the Wrong) Mushrooms", addresses that question using actual cases that Marilyn Shaw have encountered over the last 30 years as a consultant to the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center. In general we estimate that somewhere around 100 of the thousands of mushroom species are edible, and an equal number are poisonous to some degree. Really dangerous, life threatening species comprise a rather small percentage of those. All of those other thousands of species are simply inedible for one reason or another. It is curious that this concept is understood with reference to green plants without question, while it seems so puzzling to the general public when the subject is mycology.Marilyn Shaw's talk will help even the complete neophyte understand, a little better, the mysterious world of mushrooms.
Marilyn Shaw is Mycology Consultant to the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center. She is also the chair of the Toxicology Committee and of the Education Committee of the Colorado Mycological Society.

In the nature many odd things happen during the fall. When about half of the chlorophyll has broken down anthocyanin production and accumulation begins. We know that anthocyanins are responsible for the red colors in the plants – however, in the science world there are numerous theories of the ecological function of this reaction, and that is still an unraveled puzzle. Read more about the fascinating Nature's Palette in David Lee's book about The Science of Plant Color.
All we know for sure that anthocyanines are not poisonous:
Last weekend we had a very successful guest workshop with Sally Yu Leung form the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, CA.
The three day workshop was wrapped up with the demonstration of the Chinese Tea Garden in the home of Diana Lee and Roy Stahlgren. Before leaving the gorgeus garden we were also served tea in their beautiful Tea House. You can see more images here…

The goal of the Rare Plant Conservation Initiative is to conserve Colorado's most imperiled native plant species and their habitats through a collaborative partnership effort. Fifteen public and private partners have come together to take the conservation of native rare plants in Colorado to a new level by developing a statewide plant conservation strategy, prioritizing species, sites and conservation needs, securing on-the-ground protection for plant species and their habitats, and seeking state recognition and long-term funding for plants.
This project is funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, with additional support and match from the Colorado Native Plant Society, Colorado Natural Areas Program, Colorado Natural Heritage Program, Denver Botanic Gardens, and the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust.
Betsy Neely is working on statewide conservation initiatives and regional scale conservation planning. She is facilitating the RPCI, working closely with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program and other partners.

Immunisation is a way of protecting against serious diseases. Once we have been immunised, our bodies are better able to fight these diseases if we come into contact with them.
Benefits for you
As children develop they are exposed to many risks, one of these risks being infections. Most of these will cause mild illnesses. However, despite great medical advances, infection can still cause severe illness, disability and, at times, death. Before vaccines were available, many children in the UK died from diseases such as whooping cough, measles and polio. Despite successful immunisation programmes, the diseases that vaccines protect against do still exist. The benefit of immunisation is that your child has the best possible protection against dangerous diseases. This can give you peace of mind.
Benefits for us all
When your child is immunised they are helping to protect the health of the whole community. When enough people are immunised against an infection, it is more difficult for it to be spread to those who are not immunised. This is called 'herd immunity' or 'population protection'.
How vaccines work
Vaccines contain either a greatly weakened form of the bacterium or virus that causes a disease, or a small part of it. When the body detects the contents of the vaccine its immune system will be primed to make the antibodies (substances that fight off infection and disease) required to fight off the infection. If your child comes into contact with the infection, the immune system will recognise it and be ready to protect him or her by producing the right antibodies. Because vaccines have been used so successfully in the UK, diseases such as diphtheria have almost disappeared from this country.

Laser Methane mini
The Laser Methane mini is a pocket laser-type detector, capable of safely and quickly detecting gas leaks from a distance. Methane and methane containing gases can be detected by simply pointing the beam towards the suspected area.
Characteristics are superior portability for its small size, solid, dust-proof and drip-proof construction for use in harsh environments. The Laser Methane mini can be used in hazardous areas.
The measurement principle of this equipment uses the characteristics of methane, which absorbs the laser beam (infrared rays) of a specific wavelength (infrared absorption technology). The laser beam directed at targets such as gas piping, the ground, etc., will reflect back a diffused beam from the target. The device will receive the reflected beam and will measure the absorptivity of the beam, which will then be calculated into methane column density (ppm-m).

Scenery NailsHello Girls, I have a pleasing nail art for you today. No, I am not patting my own back but sometimes you just want to see something pretty to feel pretty. Incase, you have not noticed yet, try surrounding yourself with something that your mind considers beautiful and you will see it's mere sight soothes your thoughts. You know as we say, 'You feel good, when You look good'. Technically, nothing might change but the mere auro something beautiful has the capacity to beautify your mind, like placebo effect.
So whenever, I feel out of beauty and peace in my life; I try to cage something beautiful on my nails. And trust me , it just casts peace to my thoughts. One such phase was last week. I was feeling unwell, out of creativity and passion. I started frantically browsing through all beautiful nail art on internet, trying to calculate what could qualify to bring some rest and beauty in me.
I cannot pin point what exactly inspired me, but I browsed a ton of Narmai's work. The more I browsed , the more I got mesmerized. Finally, I did these nails drawing cues from all what I saw. I know, these are a poor recreation of her brilliant work. But enough to set my mind right.
All my work is with acrylic paint on Sinful White. It took close to 3 hours to finish both hands. And mind you I was not keeping well so I had draw a logical end at 3 hours other wise I would have gladly gone another hour beatifying them. What do you say guys?

Issue 50 is the fiftieth issue of Image Comics' The Walking Dead and the second part of Volume 9: Here We Remain. It was originally published on July 2, 2008.
Plot Synopsis
Rick has passed out on the floor and Carl forces him to wake up. Suddenly, Rick starts to mumble and shift, causing Carl to think that he's reanimating. He's about to shoot him, but, doesn't because he notices Rick is still breathing. Carl starts to cry and says that he doesn't know what to do, before falling asleep.
In the morning, Rick's burning up. Carl puts a towel on his forehead and shouts that he must wake up. Suddenly, a couple of zombies start banging at the door. Carl drags Rick in front of the door, and sneaks out the backdoor. He leads the zombies away from the door and around the corner to another building; however, a third zombie comes up behind him and Carl falls. At the last moment, Carl manages to shoot the three zombies in the head. He stands up, vomits, and smiles with relief.
After defeating the zombies and back in the house, Carl decides that he no longer needs his father to survive. He blames him for failing to protect Lori and Judith, as well as the rest of their previous party and says he'd be fine if Rick died. Later that night, Rick lies up and moans, reaching for Carl who aims his gun at him tearfully. Rick has briefly gained consciousness and tells him he's sick, pleading with Carl to stay indoors and safe. Carl agrees and holds Rick's head, taking back what he said about not needing his father's protection. Carl says that he's scared, and falls asleep again.
- None
- This is the first issue to have a variant cover.
- This issue contains 23 pages, making it the first issue to end with an odd number of pages.
- This issue has the fewest appearance of characters so far. Up to its publication date, this issue featured the fewest named (alive) characters with only Rick and Carl.
- The cover of this issue is very similar to the cover of #71, in that they both feature Carl standing his ground, with his hand on his gun, being completely surrounded.
- Robert Kirkman suggests that this issue is his favorite, due to mostly focusing on Carl's character developement.

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and Sheryl Crow have joined the all-star tribute for Sing Me Back Home: The Music of Merle Haggard on April 6 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
The night will be taped for a concert special and feature previously announced performances by Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, John Mellencamp, Dierks Bentley, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Jr., the Avett Brothers, Alison Krauss, Ronnie Dunn, Warren Haynes, Jamey Johnson, Kacey Musgraves, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lucinda Williams, John Anderson, Connie Smith and Bobby Bare.
Richards has been a devoted fan of the Hag throughout his career. Days after Haggard's passing on what would have been his 79th birthday, Richards posted a video online, calling him, "one of the great country singers of all time and a helluva a guitar player," in honor of his late friend.
Ben Haggard, the Country Music Hall of Famer's son and a longtime band member, will join Don Was and Buddy Cannon as musical directors for the concert.
The event was announced in February by Haggard's family, Willie Nelson and Blackbird Presents, a media company that has produced and recorded similar concert tributes to Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, Gregg Allman, John Lennon and Jerry Garcia.
The concert marks the one-year anniversary of Haggard's passing and it would have been his 80th birthday.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Maura Duffy spent a day in Chicago last September with her mother: A walk along Lake Michigan, shared meals, a boat tour highlighting Second City architecture.
But this was no typical mother-daughter outing. It was the first time the two women had ever met.
Since a handful of states, including Illinois, have unsealed birth certificates, thousands of adoptees have claimed them and learned about their beginnings. The 35-year-old Duffy, adopted at birth, is among 8,800 Illinois residents since 2010 to do so.
via hosted.ap.org
Over the years many things have been told to birth mothers about their privacy regarding an adoption. I think most people understand the reasons why records were sealed for so long whether you agreed with the reasons or not. It's exciting to hear of so many people requesting the newly opened information. There will be a lot of questions answered, along with bittersweet revelations into the back story of adoptions for years.

So, apparently, I've been getting it wrong all these years. Food isn't supposed to make you feel full at all! Omgdz how embarrassing!
Thankfully, Kinder Bueno have created a new ad campaign clearly marketed at women which features the enlightening tagline "you get all the taste you're looking for, without feeling full" to set me straight.
And they must be geniuses, those guys, because they managed to make a chocolate bar that tastes like that bit of the sofa my dog sits on. Not even Heston Blumenthal had succeeded in achieving that!
Anyway, everyone knows women have a stupid relationship with food. We are told to buy organic, to cut carbs, meat, and dairy. To eat nothing but cottage cheese through a straw.
Occasionally the Daily Mail pipes up with helpful additions such as 'Nectarines give you cancer!' or 'Oily fish makes you more likely to hit your wife!' just to mindfuck you that little bit more.
So, goddamnit, if I'm going to eat that dirtiest, most forbidden fruit of chocolate, I WANT to feel like Bruce Bogtrotter afterwards, not Victoria sodding Beckham at bootcamp.
Do one, Kinder with your smug marketing. As if anyone ACTUALLY enjoys feeling hungry (not that you will after the odd 37g of fat present in one of these babies.)

Working in creative internships and apprenticeships
DanceEast, based at the Jerwood DanceHouse in Ipswich, is part of the Suffolk County Council Creative Employment Programme consortium. We met up with two apprentices and a marketing officer – who started as a paid intern – to talk about their experiences in the workplace so far.
Charlotte Prodger was 21 when she started her six-month internship in November 2013. She has since continued to work with the organisation.
In my interview I suggested improvements to DanceEast's social media presence.
"I started as a marketing assistant intern, and at the end of my internship I was lucky enough to be offered a full-time position. My job now is marketing and communications officer."
Creative team apprentice Lizzie Hawes was 21 when she started her year-long apprenticeship, while communications and development apprentice Esther Howard was 16. All three are from Ipswich.
How did you get started?
Charlotte Prodger
As an Ipswich resident who is passionate about dance, and with a good degree in Business, Charlotte felt she was always heading this way but didn't take anything for granted.
"I made sure I was fully prepared for my interview and brought a large portfolio of the work I had done when I was president of the Dance Society at uni. I also took the opportunity to suggest improvements that I could make to DanceEast's social media presence and highlighted the importance of digital communications."
Lizzie Hawes
Lizzie was no stranger to DanceEast, having been a member of Suffolk Youth Dance. She had also volunteered as a tutor assistant and worked on 'Family Fun days'.
"I knew a lot of people at DanceEast and had always put myself forward for things, which I think helped. Prior to this opportunity I had been working for an electrical mechanical engineering company in the day and waitressing in the evenings. I had been looking for an opportunity like this for ages."
Esther Howard
"I hated school and I knew I didn't want to go to college. I wanted a full-time job and to start earning money doing something I loved. I didn't know a lot about DanceEast before and I wasn't sure what was available, so I sent an email to the head of creative programmes about me and about what I wanted to do."
This approach obviously worked well as Esther was then invited to an interview for the apprenticeship position.
"The interview was scary. I had never been interviewed before and there were other people there who were older and obviously more experienced. I took a CV and character references and told them just how keen I was to be working within the business side of dance. I felt it was important for me to become well-rounded in the industry, not just practically. Dance is my life."
What do you do at work?
Charlotte Prodger
"As marketing and communications officer my job includes writing press releases, writing copy for the website, doing campaign plans and budget responsibility.
"I have some line management responsibility for Esther, which is really exciting, and I have also ensured that social media is now much more integrated within the organisation, including introducing DanceEast to Instagram and YouTube. My job is not so different from my internship, but with much more responsibility."
I am business-minded and have a passion for dance and this job allows me to bring the two together.
Lizzie Hawes
"I work within a small creative team on various community-based and outreach projects such as U.Dance and the Spring Showcase. My job includes lots of admin such as emailing participants, sourcing costumes for shows, filming, documentation and evaluation of projects, plus working with people of all ages. I do lots of different things and I am always looking forward to the next project."
Esther Howard
"Among other things I write press releases, design artwork for flyers, think of creative PR ideas, and research projects within the development side of things. I am also responsible for Twitter for Danceats – the café based in Jerwood House – as well as the press cuttings folder and keeping the building tidy."
What have you got out of the internship/apprenticeship?
Charlotte Prodger
"I know I want to work in the arts and wouldn't suit a corporate environment. You have to be a bit savvy and offer practical solutions for the company for the future. The internship led to my full-time job.
"The next thing I want to do is progress further with DanceEast or within a similar organisation."
Lizzie Hawes
"It's an environment where no two days are the same. I am constantly dealing with people, so it's always different and there can be no generic answers. It can be quite time-consuming and stressful, but this job is more me as a person.
"I would like to remain in the arts and stay creative. Uni is an option, but I would prefer to keep working and moving forward."
Esther Howard
"I have gained so much experience and it is exciting to be learning more about the business. It's nice to be 'the baby' in the organisation and to see how everyone else got here. It's also nice to be surrounded by other young people.
"I want to be in a job in the arts. I would rather be doing something I like to do."
Whilst at DanceEast, Esther has also had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant with Avant Garde Dance, an exciting Hip Hop contemporary company. Through sheer tenacity and good networking skills she has now been invited to join their youth group and she travels to London every Saturday to train with them.
What are the best and worst things about your job?
Charlotte Prodger
"I am business-minded and have a passion for dance and this job allows me to bring the two together. The dynamic of the organisation has really changed since I started – now there are loads of young people and the direction it's going has changed. Everyone is passionate and there is a cool, inspirational vibe.
"The worst thing is having to work on a Friday!"
Everyone is passionate and there is a cool, inspirational vibe.
Lizzie Hawes
"I really like working with people, talking to people and being 'a presence' for the organisation. I enjoy being given the space to think creatively, for example I have come up with an innovative way to do evaluation which draws on the Gavin King exhibition '1,000 faces' in the Jerwood DanceHouse. Evaluation should be fun, accessible and from your own experience.
"In terms of the worst, I find the apprenticeship qualification can take up a lot of time when I am trying to do my job. I would like the training to be more specific to my needs."
Esther Howard
"I wake up in the morning wanting to go to work and I know that so many people my age are not enjoying what they do.
"But I agree with Lizzie in that the apprenticeship qualification feels like it makes a massive impact on the time I have to do my job."
Advice for a creative career
Esther, Lizzie and Charlotte gave five main tips:
1. Be passionate
You must be passionate about the arts and find a way of showing that. Have it and show it. Qualifications are important, but passion is the main thing.
2. Get experience
Get experience wherever you can. Volunteer and always put yourself forward to show that you are keen and interested.
3. Do your research
Know a lot about the organisation you are applying to.
4. Make yourself visible
Keep within an organisation's peripheral vision at all times and put yourself out there.
5. Make use of your skills
Don't ever disregard other jobs you have done, even if they are not in the arts. If you are creative that will feed into whatever you are doing and work in your favour. All of my previous jobs lend something to what I do now. Think outside of the box and be creative and innovative.
To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week we're hearing from apprentices employed through the Creative Employment Programme.

These uncertainties are reflected in Pierre's writing in an often oblique or hazy way, particularly in Lights Out In Wonderland. The idea of the "pornography of food" as a metaphor for the end times, he tells me, came to him while reading Petronius on the decline of Rome. "The writing is so modern. The climate of unease and complaint in those books feels incredibly familiar. The banquet was the perfect medium for the powerful to express their power and the sense they had of being above the law. It was a way to be grand. I feel that has certain parallels with what has been happening of late. Bankers, politicians' expenses and all that. Eating out expensively is always a big factor in there, isn't it? Money and food seem to assume an incredible importance as a culture declines. I really do think that is the case today, as it was back then. You just have to look at food writing, restaurant reviews in particular, to see that. It comes close to the pornographic at times, that kind of fetishising of food and its rituals.
DBC Pierre – the initials stand for Dirty But Clean, a nickname he earned in his spectacularly misspent youth – is known by his real name, Peter Finlay.

Trends are expected in all parts of life.
As a teen and young adult I was never one to succumb to the trends. Not because I didn't want to. Yes, I had the Dorothy Hamill haircut in the early 80's (bad look for me) and then a perm with big bangs in high school (another bad choice) but never really fully emerged myself in the hottest trends because: A.) I couldn't afford many of them and B.) I felt like a copycat, a follower.
But with books, I was always reading what I wanted to or felt I needed at the time. This has carried over as an adult and my tastes in reading and music are very eclectic. I love everything! Cliché, I know, but when someone asks "what's your favorite band/song/book/author", I have a terrible time picking just one. My favorites are what engage me at the time or are the ones that I will reference to a part of my life that left a lasting impression; they evoked a feeling that I just couldn't shake.
When I read this article about current book trends by Tracey Garvis-Graves, I was so appreciative that an author and reader put this out there because I feel the exact same way and applaud her honesty. http://www.traceygarvisgraves.com/2013/07/lets-talk-about-trends.html
So, in keeping with her original post, here is what I am looking for in my next book selection. When I go on Goodreads, frequent the library, read book bloggers' reviews, and talk to friends, I want:
1.) Something different/original. It's a very general statement but speaks volumes in my choosing. I do read the latest trends because they peak my curiosity and I want to see what "all the buzz" is about. Twilight for example, was so new in that vampire/teen scene that I enjoyed the ride. I had also read many of the Sookie Stackhouse books (before Twilight) which were more edgy, steamy and graphic but saw a lot of parallels. The market became everything "vampire/paranormal" and just couldn't keep my attention. In my book club we moved onto the "Dystopian" phase with The Hunger Games. Again, I enjoyed the series but everything following that trilogy became redundant. Then Fifty Shades of Grey took hold and books right now seem to try and up the ante using more shock and awe with dominant/submissive characters and tortured pasts.
Something different/original for me is a book that takes a risk from the current trends. That's why I fell in love with Tracey Garvis-Graves' book On The Island. It was her first book and she didn't need thirty books in her repertoire to impress me. Her story was engaging, thrilling and new with the teacher/student twist. She became an instant favorite author of mine and I will read anything by her.
2.) No more sequels/series. I am over them! Now let me preface this by saying that some authors write amazing sequels and series that are necessary to the original book. Harry Potter is a prime example where every book was different and added to the first. I couldn't wait to see where the wizards were heading in their schooling and if Harry would emerge the hero.
Colleen Hoover (Hopeless and Slammed), Jessica Park (Flat-Out Love), and Gayle Forman (If I Stay and Just One Day) are some of the best sequel writers to name a few. I am sure there are many other authors who do this well who I haven't experienced yet so let me know who they are. When I read the sequels I was excited about the new scenes, loved hearing from different characters' POVs and satisfied with the additional text that tied up loose ends.
The ones I am "so over" are the ones that promise a new story or continuation but just re-write the entire first book from another character's perspective. I felt cheated and spent good money on the anticipated follow-up only to be disappointed. And then some authors don't finish the second book only to have you read a third, maybe a forth. Ugh! By the time it comes out I am really not that interested. Authors, your fans love your writing so give us something new (back to #1). We will stick with you. Give me a strongly written epilogue or a novella to follow up an amazing story and I'm good. Hint: Uncharted. And if a sequel/novella/epilogue/series is not your thing as an author, guess what? I love pretending I am one and get to make up my own.3.) Shock me. Have me screaming at the book while at the same time completely and utterly speechless. One that stands out is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. She blew me away with her writing and the story was incredible. I love dark, edgy stories with a twist and they are probably hard to pull off but when they do…help me! I'm a total wreck and I LOVE IT. I was an instant fan and had to read her two previous books, Dark Places and Sharp Objects which were just as gritty and satisfying. Megan Abbott's The End Of Everything and Robert Goolrick's A Reliable Wife kept me up all night reading and had twists that I didn't see coming.
4.) Whisk me away with the romance. I am a hopeless romantic – there I said it. I want to be swept off my feet and fall in love with the characters as they navigate through their feelings hoping they will have their HEA. I am not biased to YA/Teen/Adult. If it's well written and honest, you've convinced me. Kristan Higgins has been consistent with her ratio of humor, quirky characters and romance building. I just want to see them banter, swoon, romance each other and get to the good stuff. 🙂 It's a very difficult formula to get right. Too much too soon is unrealistic and taking too long loses me in all the turmoil. Jane Austen is, to me, the master of this but contemporary author like Jojo Moyes is high up on my list. Me Before You and The Last Letter From Your Lover are epic love stories that have all the right ingredients for romance at it's finest. Her characters are real and flawed and yes, real. Which brings me to #5.
5.) Characters that are flawed, interesting and intriguing…but not tortured. This ties into the romance category for me as well because as much as I want to read about people falling in love and finding each other irresistible, I don't want to read about how the main characters are unbelievably perfect. Perfect bodies, glorious hair, wear the right clothes and talk about it the entire time. They actually engage in conversations and connect on other levels. Rainbow Rowell is a breath of fresh air with her character development in books such as Attachments and an absolute favorite, Eleanor and Park. Jonathan Tropper is another master of the flawed, realistic characters and did I mention that I love the male author's perspective on relationships? More please. David Nicholls' One Day was excellent as well.
And one more trend that is just overkill lately is the horrifically tortured main characters especially in YA/NA books. I love to read about overcoming life's tragedies but it seems like authors are trying to up one another in the tortured souls area. I read a book recently where the story was so promising and then the main character: was abused, lost a loved one, joined a band, became a cutter, met a great guy who ended up with a brain tumor and then got pregnant! I hope I didn't give the book away, but enough already!
Being a woman in my late thirties, ahem, I want to read about more women like myself: educated, complex yet simple, our flaws are sexy while we navigate through the marriage/mommyhood/career dynamic with dreams, goals and humor. I always turn to Kristin Hannah and Elizabeth Berg, who nail it every time. I had the pleasure of meeting Elizabeth Berg at a book discussion/signing and she is a remarkable woman as well as fantastic author.
5 1/2) The element of writing. This gets a 1/2 from me because simple, easy writing is not a turn off if the story can pull its' weight. I am not a master of the English language having being raised in an Italian and Scottish household with English grammar in school. I am sure I have many grammatical errors on these posts that my English major friends cringe at. <–a preposition at the end of a sentence! But that doesn't mean that poor editing is acceptable. It's too distracting. Although, I am a bit of a language nerd and love, love, love literary fiction that is elegantly written, lyrical and layered, which is just so delicious to read. John Green's books, sigh.
There are numerous authors who answer my wish list with their books. Many newer, indie authors whom I am very excited for and feel their success will be justly deserved as well as seasoned pros who never disappoint. I would list them all here but it would go on for pages and this post is long enough with all the ramblings. Just know that if I reviewed their book on this blog, they left an impression. If they were not reviewed, I read it long before this blog started and added them to The Daily Dosage's Goodreads Favorites list that you can also check out. But if these authors are not on either, then please comment with your suggestions, for I have yet to have the pleasure of becoming acquainted with their work.
So in keeping with Tracey's post, what is on your wish list as a reader? What are you tired of? What do you think will be the next big trend?

Just joined launchpad under the same display name. I have been using Ubuntu for about 4 years. Started with Warty.
Just joined launchpad under the same display name. I have been using Ubuntu for about 4 years. Started with Warty.
Yep, same here. Started with 4.10 (Warty?). Just joined, too. Installed 7.10 on my new Inspiron 1520 last night.
Hi! every body. I am absolutety new to ubuntu. One of my friend gave me Uduntu CD (Down loaded from Internet) before. I did install it on my desktop along with Window XP. So I had dual boot system. I was able to run both OS on the desk top. But Ubuntu was not not able to recognize network card, usb port, printers etc. I thought may be ubuntu software may be missing some files. Now I have downloaded ubuntu myself on my second Hard drive. I have 2- hard drives. But I did not open the downloaded file to install on the desk top. When I clicked the the downloaded ubuntufiles Icon. Popup window reads- " window needs to know which program created the file". My Questions are -
1- Is it ok to burn this ubuntu downloaded files. And install ubuntu from the burned CD?
2- How to install ubuntu downloaded from my second Hard drive? At this time I have only Window XP Professional with SP-2.
I am very good for Window XP but I have very scanty knowladge about Ubuntu. I am still gathering knowladge about Ubuntu from Internet. Does any of you have basic information for completely new guy like me.
I mean something like Ubuntu for idiots. Any help is appreciated.
I am in NOV- Gainesville.

Cool Awesome. Have been using Ubuntu Gusty now for about month and loving every day that goes by. Got my favorite game installing and running awesome, World of Warcraft and just started to play Urban Terror and Counter Strike with Steam.
But anyways, I'm in Newport News, VA so if there will be any events or meetings where can I go for more information?
Didnt really know about these LoCo teams, but im up in N. VA. and have been using Ubuntu for about a year solid now. Happy to help out wherever just PM me.
I joined the Launchpad team. The IRC channel appears to be dead. I'm in Chesapeake VA and have been using Linux for almost 6 years now. I've been trying to find a local LUG, but can't find one. Anyone interested in trying to start one?

Chesapeake is right next to VA Beach, about 10~15 mins from the VA-NC border.
There is the Tidewater Unix Users Group. They have meetings in Norfolk at the Lake Taylor Transitional Care Center.

Tourneau's Palm Beach store is getting a facelift inside and out.
The watch retailer, at the northeast corner of Worth Avenue and South County Road, has been closed for a few weeks due to the construction.
The store is scheduled to reopen Nov. 1.
While we'll all have to wait to see what the spruced-up interiors look like, there's a very noticeable change on the building's exterior, with three new clocks installed on the corner of the facade.
These timepieces are sleeker and more contemporary in style and pretty good looking, don't you think?

So, I really should have gotten this out to you yesterday, but well, I didn't…so I guess we are off the hook for one day of planning!
Some people do this really really well, but I am not one of them. Planning the evening meals for my family might just be the bane of my existence at this point in my life. It is torture and I hate it! I can never make everyone happy, and listening to complaining after all I went through to get dinner prepared for a family of five makes me crazy! I mean even when the plan is to order pizza for dinner, I have one that whines, "but I don't like pizza". Really? How is that possible? All kids like pizza! Are you feelin' me yet? I detest the whole process.
BUT, I also think that it is one of the most basic, important, and effective ways to be eating a well-rounded diet. So, this is always included in any goals that I ever set for myself, because I'm always falling off the wagon. I mean really, you would think I would just do it for heaven's sake, but life happens. When things get crazy, it is really easy to drop the thing that you hate the most!
Okay, so this is what my goal looks like right now:
Plan dinners for the week ahead of time.
Action Steps:
1. Look at the coming weeks schedule every Sunday morning and decide which nights we are eating in.
2. Plan to cook meals at least 3 nights and decide on menus.
3. Create grocery list and decide when to shop for food.
As you can see, I am not planning to COOK all the meals, but I have a plan for which days that I am cooking, and a plan for the days I am not.
By planning meals, I mean taking a look at what is feasible in the coming week, and then setting yourself up for how to accomplish it.
It does me absolutely no good to plan to have salmon, risotto, and fresh zucchini for dinner on Tuesday night if I can't get to the grocery store until Wednesday. So maybe Tuesday night has to be frozen tilapia, canned or frozen vegetable, and whatever fruit and grain is on hand. OR Tuesday is to order pizza (whether the 4 year old likes it not!).
Now the weekly challenge for this week is to plan ONE of your meals each day this week. Dinner may not be your problem area, maybe it is breakfast or lunch. So look at where you end up just grabbing whatever or skipping the meal altogether, and work on making a plan for that particular meal.
If it is lunch, you may take a look at your schedule and realize that you are on the road for two lunches this week, and it is going to be the McDonald's at exit 25. But the other three days you can plan a couple sack lunches and/or a particular restaurant with a variety of choices.
Somehow the plan just really helps. Now it doesn't always work out as planned, and that is okay too. Chances are you are still a couple steps ahead, than if you didn't plan anything at all!
Good luck this week and happy planning!

It's Springtime up North. This means it's Flooding Time on the banks of the Red River... again this year. What people sometimes fail to grasp is that the terrain is dead flat, and the Red flows north to the Hudson Bay. The water is flowing in a river that is still frozen downstream and the water has no place to go except out across the flat farmland and towns of North Dakota and Minnesota. This cannot be a good thing.. again this year.
"...official briefings lost the jokes and quips that had broken the tension earlier in the week. Instead, Thursday's meeting opened with a prayer.
"We need all the help we can get," Mayor Dennis Walaker said.
The city of 92,000 unveiled a contingency evacuation plan Thursday afternoon, but at least four nursing homes already had begun moving residents by then.
"A few of them said they didn't want to go. I said I'm going where the crowd goes," said 98-year-old Margaret "Dolly" Beaucage, who clasped rosary beads as she waited to leave Elim Care Center.
"I'm a swimmer," she said, smiling, "but not that good a swimmer."

New Delhi: India has partnered with the US to collaborate on research and development of traditional medicines for preventive and palliative cancer care, a move aimed at bringing in more global acceptability and credibility for AYUSH medicines.
The collaboration between the two countries is also expected to open a huge market for AYUSH practitioners globally.
"Globalisation of AYUSH is one of the major policy thrusts of our government. The constructive collaboration between India and US in this field is important for incorporating more scientific inputs from both sides in traditional medicines which can help mainstreaming of AYUSH systems in patient health care across the globe," AYUSH minister Shripad Yesso Naik said.
As part of the partnership, researchers from India and the US will start discussions to review and cooperate on methods to reduce morbidity due to cancer using AYUSH interventions.
Representatives from the US department of health and human services, Office of Global Affairs, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI) and US academic institutions will interact with their counterparts from the ministry of ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy (AYUSH) and Indian research institutes and universities during the workshop.
India has already partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) to spread use of alternative medicines including Ayurveda and homoeopathy.
"This is a great opportunity to bring to the table from the US side NCI and NIH expertise in laboratory and clinical evaluation of traditional medicine and from the Indian side an impressive commitment to building the evidence base for traditional Indian medicine," said Edward Trimble, director of the US National Cancer Institute's Center for Global Health.

We went with Daniel along the horrible Colima traffic, and met up with everyone at the mall, same people as our graduation group. And watching Toy Story 3. Oh wow. Ok, so I'll say spoilers, so if you haven't seen and don't want to know what happens STOP HERE.
Ok, so Toy Story 3. First, that opening was epic. That scene was like, if I could but the Toy Story characters in their own "world" and make a movie, it'd be like that! The rest of the movie was epic too – though when they all held hands as they were about to be incinerated was very touching, and seemed almost like a sci fi film. Though I was half expecting someone to die. Too much Stargate Universe/Battlestar Galactica – I forgot it was Disney. But it was still a touching scene. And very dark for a Disney/Pixar film. Actually, the whole movie was very dark, in its themes and characters. I suppose it makes sense since we've grown up with the movies that they get progressively darker – sort of like Harry Potter, but not as much, because of course it's Disney/Pixar. And yes, I cried at the end. Well, I began getting teary when Andy said bye to his mom. Probably because that's how I imagine parting with my parents to be later this summer. I think the movie affected us especially because we're the class of 2010 (yay Andy!), and we're in the same situation as Andy. And at the end, when he has one last hurrah with the toys, that made me cry. In the same way (for me at least), our Bee-6/Glee video felt like one last victory lap, Andy's fun at the end was his, except his legacy is passed on. It felt very much like the end of one story, and the start of another. Cliché, yes, but true nevertheless. It was like a return to childhood for one last fleeting moment before having to face the reality of growing up, which I hope this summer will mean for me. I realize now that the Toys saddened over losing Andy can be looked at from the other way – I will be equally sad losing my childhood, which is symbolized by childhood toys. That loss of innocence, of a youth's imagination, is something that we all must go through in the end, and I suppose being in the midst of that transition means that the movie hit me especially hard. I think I tend to show emotions after the event – that happened with Every 15 Minutes, and probably with this movie too – I mean, reading the Wikipedia plot entry made me teary. But it was a wonderful experience to share with my friends.
So post movie, Tesia left, and the rest of us hung out at the mall for a while. The girls shopped and us super cool awesome guys lounged in the center and had the most fun ever. After, we split up, some of the group going to Daniel's house, and the others going to eat and then meeting up with us later. I ate too much popcorn to eat lunch! But we got stopped at the train tracks, and Daniel and Guzman rocked out in the car. There, I got to play Mario Kart! I haven't played in a long time. That in itself was a lot of fun. Then there was Shutter Island. Yes, I was scared, and yes, I hid under a blanket. About halfway, we had to move over to Trevor's house where we finished. I actually enjoyed Shutter Island, even though I usually don't watch those types of movies. It had a good twist, though I had begun to think that already; and I think the end hints at self awareness. But anyways, it was another good shared experience. Jess and Kelly had to leave, but then Trevor's parents graciously gave the rest of us dinner. And after dinner, was mostly talk, about random topics – people, school, past, future, likes, dislikes. I probably sound like a broken record, but there's little that can match sitting around and just talking with people for a few hours. And having another time to do that before we all leave makes those few hours all that more important to me. So all in all, a fun day, full of tears, screams, talk and friends.

Netizens were outraged over a viral video of a bicycle rider who was shot dead by a car driver after their fistfight Monday night, July 25.
MENSAHE PARA SA MGA WALANG-KWENTANG TAOListen up, mga douchebags. Una sa lahat, kung nagmamaneho kayo ng kotse, wag kayong makikipag-away sa naka-bisikleta. Walang laban ang bisikleta sa auto nyo, kahit Hyundai Eon lang yan. Pangalawa, wag kayong magsisimula ng suntukan, tapos pag hindi kayo umubra, gagamit kayo ng baril. Tadyakan namin kayo sa mukha e.
Posted by Top Gear Philippines on Monday, 25 July 2016
In this closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage posted by Top Gear Philippines Tuesday afternoon, July 26, the man riding a bicycle was seen arguing with the driver who was still inside his car.
After a few seconds, both men alighted from their own vehicles. However, the car driver went towards the bicycle rider and started to throw a punch.
The fistfight lasted for more than a minute. The losing driver went back inside the car, while the bicycle rider was seen talking to someone in the front passenger's seat before he finally walked a few meters away from the scene.
Yet, the driver went out from the car again – carrying a firearm. The car driver jogged towards the bicycle rider and shot him to death.
According to a GMA News report, Barbosa Police Community Precinct Inspector Yolando Espina said that the incident occurred "after the car hit the bicycle" along P. Casal Street, Quiapo, Manila.
Furthermore, the victim was identified as Mark Vincent Geralde, and the police are still looking for the suspect.
Meanwhile, the Manila Police District Station 3 said that they are now coordinating with the Land Transportation Office in identifying the owner of a "red Hyundai Eon with conduction plate M03746."
Top Gear Philippines said that they already asked Hyundai Philippines to trace the identity of the owner. However, the car company "politely declined" to provide the information because of two reasons:
(1) the owner and the car driver are, maybe, two different persons; and
(2) they would rather provide the details to the police.

The New York Times has been caught censoring a story about a Norway pedophile ring that implicates top politicians in the country.
Internet sleuths discovered that an AP article that detailed the Norwegian scandal had been previously published by the New York Times, before they suddenly and inexplicably deleted it from their website.
A search for the article on their site reveals nothing.
The pedophile scandal is thought to be one of the biggest in modern history, as authorities in Norway seized 150 terabytes (150,000 gigabytes) of data, including photos, videos and chat transcripts between members of various paedophile networks.
According to reports, the material shows, among other things, the penetration of toddlers, children being tied up, children having sex with animals and children having sex with other children.
The scandal bears a strikingly similar resemblance to Pizzagate, which implicates Hillary Clinton and members of her campaign team.
Carlos Slim, the owner of the New York Times, is a major Clinton Foundation donor and good friends with the Clintons.
The newspaper also previously published an article promoting pedophilia to their audiences in 2014, in a peice named 'Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime'.

State officials investigating turtle deaths in Florida
Sea turtle nesting season begins May 1 and runs through October. Here are tips to protect sea turtles as they nest and hatch.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Environmental officials are investigating a freshwater turtle die-off in Florida.
Freshwater turtles began turning up dead along the St. Johns River. About 100 dead or dying turtles have been found so far in water bodies in Orange, Seminole and Putnam counties. A few reports have come in from other locations, such as Trout Lake near Eustis.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says exams of the turtles and tests of their tissues have failed to pinpoint a cause of death.
Anyone who finds a dead turtle should contact the agency's Fish Kill Hotline at 800-636-0511 or submit an online report at MyFWC.com/FishKill.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that most of the turtles that have been found dead are Florida softshell turtles, a common species in the state.

It depends on what you mean by "standard configuration". It's available in all of my standard configurations.
There are two prerequisites:
My opinion is that all of those should be considered "standard". 5733-SC1 might need to be requested or downloaded from IBM depending on how you obtained your system and your system software. It came with my last set of CDs.
2 manuals I found quite helpful when setting up SFTP, 'i5/OS PASE shells and utilities' and a Redpaper 'Securing Communications with OpenSSH on IBM i5/OS'
Also, Scott Klemens has several articles that I found helpful.
Hope this helps,

Passive-Infrared (PIR) Sensors see heat in motion, so assuming the air coming out of the diffuser is hotter or colder than the ambient, the PIR sensor will pick it up. The major requirement would be that you do not want it so close to the diffuser that air is actually blowing on the sensor housing. A good rule of thumb is to keep it at least 2-3 feet away.
