The Discussion
I'd like to hear Mark comment on the amount of cooperation Microsoft gives the government when it comes to security issues in general and Windows in particular. Does Mark interact with the FBI/CIA/DOD/NSA, and if so, did his experience inspire him in writing his novels, Zero Day and Trojan Horse?

The video stops responding after about 22 minutes.
@TCA: I can't repro this behavior. Can you try again?
Great interview with Mark. I'm slowly watching all his presentations from over the years, all that information is still relevant today.
Charles, if the interview has no whiteboarding or visual aids, can you include a tag called "no-whiteboard"?
@ChrisStepaniuk: I usually call out whiteboarding/demos in descriptions, but will be more consistent in this behavior. This was a conversational piece, an impromptu chat with Mark. Glad you enjoyed it! Since Mark presented 4 sessions at Tech Ed North America, I didn't think this had to be a Going Deep (though I do need to do one of those with Mark).
@Charles: no worries. thanks for the link, I have more videos to watch
Great questions and answers. Noone can throw an oddball question like you Charles. The questions are somtimes very funny but with interesting angles. Enjoyed this a lot. Cloud security must be a fascinating area to work with. Also interesting story about flame.
@exoteric: Maybe I should update my avatar with "welcome oddballs"...
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words. Mark's a real sport and enjoys riding tandem with the random. He gets C9.
What Thinkpad is he using?
@Tom Lenovo X1
You don't do enough. Get on the stick!
Mark, now that we know that Flame used Windows Update to spread, do you still think Stuxnet is more sophisticated?

The San Rafael Conservation District has purchased two no-till drills and trailers with grant money. To put these drills to their best use a no-till drill workshop was held recently at the Ferron rodeo grounds. Robert Newhall from the Utah State University spoke to area farmers concerning the benefits and also the pitfalls of the no-till drill method.
Newhall said another name for no-till drilling is conservation tillage. This practice is 35-40 years old. What's new is the equipment available for no-till. The equipment is just one part of the system. No-till was originally developed for erosion control in areas where there is a lot of water. No-till saves time in the field and saves on fuel. It reduces wear on equipment. It improves soil quality. No-till captures drifting snow and gets more moisture into the soil. It can make irrigation water go farther and reduces soil erosion. Anytime you are using flood irrigation you are losing soil. When you till the ground you lose soil.
Newhall stressed the fact, if you were having trouble with weeds before no-till you will also have trouble with weeds using no-till. No-till will fail if there is no weed control prior to planting; if there is no weed control after planting; wrong weed control anytime; thinking no-till will fix past farm management problems; thinking no-till will solve all farm problems.
"Equipment won't solve all your problems. It's just a different process for getting seeds into the ground," said Newhall.
Newhall told farmers some advice on no-till: no-till requires more detail to what is happening in the field and why it is happening...more management; no-till is more than a planting system, it is a cropping system; no-till is not your current farming system, a different set of rules apply which may take time to learn and apply to your land and your management style; start small and watch, learn and practice; solve compaction problems before you start; solve soil fertility problems before you start; solve weed problems before you start; seeding is the easiest part of the system.
Newhall said, "It takes time to learn the system and everyone manages it differently, start small and learn. Don't start on your worst field or it will probably fail. Tilling ground destroys the soil structure. Take time to reform it into something that water will go down into. With no-till the structure of the soil will change over time, crusting will go away eventually. Learn from experience. Most of you will be using the drill for pasture. Utah is a high, dry, cold desert; you need to be realistic. Before starting over on a rundown field consider invigorating it with improved irrigation, soil fertilization, weed control and grazing management.
Newhall talked about pesky weeds and where they come from: seed bank in soil; irrigation water; off-site feed hay; bedding materials; wind borne-animal borne; seed mixtures.
Newhall said when no-till fails, 90 percent of the time it is from lack of weed management. Buy certified seed. Weed control is an ongoing problem. Weed problems must be addressed, it takes management, knowledge, judgment, experience, work, time, money, more work time and money to address issues with weeds. "Take the time to do it right," stressed Newhall. When it comes to fertilization you won't know how to do it right until you have your soil tested. You need a good soil sample.
A good maintained pasture can last 25-30 years. If you are going to take the time to plant a new pasture then take the time to do it right and maintain it. Have the soil analyzed to insure adequate nutrition and to identify salinity concerns.
When controlling weeds it may be necessary for several applications of weed killer.
Newhall said the pressure on the drill for the placement in depth of seed is very important, you need to know how deep the seeds you are planting need to be and adjust the pressure accordingly.
If the pressure isn't adjusted properly the seed you intended to plant could be left lying on the surface of the soil. Select the right crop for the field. In the palatability spectrum, you must select varieties that grow well in your area and that are palatable to your cattle.
Newhall mentioned he liked perennial ryegrass because once it starts it will reseed itself with next years crop. It is a short lived bunch grass, excellent palatability with low winter hardiness and adapts well to irrigated conditions.
The drill purchased by the conservation district has a packing system. A cut-slit is made which opens the ground and the seed is put in and packed down. Newhall recommends seeding in two directions. Sprinking is a great irrigation system for no-till. Newhall recommends a new pasture should not be grazed or trampled until the plants are well established from six-18 months.
Also, avoid using wet pastures. Haying the first crop after planting will aid in control of annual weeds. Avoid applying a herbicide to young plants. The first year of a new pasture will generally look rough. Management will make all the difference.
Another key to a good pasture is rotational grazing. Using a permanent perimeter fence; mobile cross fencing; drinking water in each paddock; begin grazing when the grass is seven inches tall; stop grazing when the grass is three inches tall; four week rest period between grazing; four or more paddocks is desirable; corral area adds flexibility to the rotation.
Newhall told of interseeding into an existing alfalfa stand which increased forage production. No-till is good for that. "You can do all kinds of things you probably never thought of with the no-till drill. We planted corn in the summer in Panguitch to supplement an alfalfa field. Once the cows figured out what it was, they harvested it," said Newhall.
One problem encountered with no-till is the application of fertilizer. You have to get creative said Newhall. Nitrate can be applied through the water, but phosphate and potassium need to get into the ground.
Newhall encouraged the farmers to ask questions as they familiarize themselves with the new opportunities the no-till drill offers.
Dennis Worwood from the Utah State Extension Office is available as well as those at the conservation district including Roger Barton and Wayne Urie from the RC&D.
Newhall said if there is enough interest he will come and do an in-field demonstration on calibration and getting the seed into the ground at the correct depth. The double disc of this drill allows for better placement of seed.

Two Podium Finishes for Canada at NORCECA EventNov. 24, 2013
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica: Canada had two podium finishes this weekend – gold for the women and bronze for the men - at the 10th leg of the 2013 NORCECA Circuit in Costa Rica.
Kacie MacTavish and Caleigh Whitaker, both of Sharon, Ontario, won the women's gold after beating Heather Hughes and Lane Carico (USA-A) in the final on a windy Sunday afternoon by 2-1 (21-17, 19-21, 15-11). It is the second NORCECA gold medal of the year for MacTavish and Whitaker.
"We started (in Guatemala in April) and finished the season with a gold medal. It's an awesome feeling," said MacTavish.
"It feels great going into the off-season with a win. We learned a lot this season and it all came together in this last tournament, which is really motivating for us," said MacTavish. "We worked super hard this year and had a lot of support, and will go into this off season with a positive attitude and confidence."
"It has been a battle and we are so happy to see our hard work pay off. I really want to thank all of our fans and supporters, and our coaches John May and Steve Anderson for their support - we would not have made it through this season without so many people behind us."
Whitaker, who will play in final stage of the circuit in Trinidad & Tobago with Heather Bansley next week, said: "This win motivates us to continue the hard work as we lost to them in Puerto Rico. I'd like to thank Costa Rica and NORCECA for their time and effort, as well as the fans who cheered for us today."
In the semifinals, MacTavish and Whitaker defeated Traci Daley and Allison Fleming of USA-B 21-19, 21-12, while Hughes/Carico scored a 2-0 (21-14, 21-11) victory over Karen Cope and Natalia Alfaro of Costa Rica-A. Daley and Fleming of USA-B won 2-0 (21-16, 21-15) over Costa Ricans Cope and Alfaro in the bronze medal match.
On the men's side, Simon Fecteau-Boutin (Levis, QC) and James Battiston (Mississauga, ON) beat Montgomery/Drost of USA-B (24-22, 16-21, 15-13) for the bronze medal.
Mexico's Lombardo Ontiveros and Juan Virgen set a new all-time NORCECA record of victories in a season by winning the men's gold medal on Sunday. The Mexican team won a three-set battle against the USA-A team of John Hyden and Tri Bourne 21-16, 19-21, 15-12.
Josh Binstock and Sam Schachter, both of Richmond Hill, ON, finished fifth overall ; and women's team of Victoria Altomare and Julie Gordon were sixth.
Canada is second to the USA in the women's 2013 NORCECA beach ranking, and second to Mexico in the 2013 men's ranking.

Manager Of 'Heroes' Actor Exercised Client's No-Gay Option
Many were confounded by the character of Zach on Heroes, the cheerleader's best friend who seemed to be inching out of the closet, but who abruptly disappeared from the series without ever uttering the magic words. After Elton then elicited an official statement from NBC saying he was "not gay," leaving the world scratching their heads at what straight guy would list Priscilla Queen of the Desert as his favorite movie on his fake MySpace page, to say nothing of accompanying the homecoming queen to prom without once ever trying to get all up in her taffeta. Talking to the PopGurls blog, co-EP Bryan Fuller explains the behind-the-scenes power struggle that led to the last minute straightwashing of the popular character:
There was an unfortunate miscommunication and when the script arrived that had the line in it, 'I would take you to homecoming but you have to know that I don't like girls that way.' The actor [Thomas Dekker]'s, manager threatened to pull him from the show because he was up for the John Carter role in The Sarah Connor Chronicles and she didn't want him playing a gay character because it might affect FOX's interest in hiring him. It got really ugly. [...]
I was very upset by it - I was not happy about it at all. There were times I had to avoid talking about it because we didn't want to have a negative reflection on the show. The show's been such a positive experience for so many people, we didn't want to get hung up on the fact that one actor's management felt that it was a career killer for him to play a homosexual which, as a gay man, I found incredibly insulting.
We had episodes planned for him to be in, and she pulled him from the show altogether. So that's why he sort of disappeared.
Whoever this nameless manager was, it remains noteworthy that, even in this post-Brokeback age of greater gays-on-TV openness, so gripped was she by pink panic that she would sooner exercise the "No Gay" clause in her client's contract than risk jeopardizing his burgeoning career by subjecting him to the mark of the Fuchsia Letter.

25-1 shot Glen's Diamond (5) just holds on to deny the favourite Top TipPICTURE: Mark Cranham (racingpost.com/photos)
Glen's Diamond sparkles in Yorkshire Cup shock
Report: York, Friday
Qipco Yorkshire Cup (British Champions Series) (Group 2) 1m6f, 4yo+
GLEN'S DIAMOND caused a major upset in the Yorkshire Cup, the 25-1 shot going one better than he managed in the race last year behind Red Cadeaux, to land the biggest win of jockey Tony Hamilton's career.
A photo-finish was required to separate the all-the-way leader and the fast finishing 11-4 favourite Top Trip, who came within a nose of justifying his position at the head of the market.
"I knew it was close but I didn't know I had won." said a delighted Hamilton. "He was keen in his races last year so I was left to it. I just jumped out and rested my hands on his neck and he pricked his ears in front. It's my biggest winner and I'm delighted it happened at York."
Hurried into the lead by Hamilton, Glen's Diamond cut out the fractions and, as the field came down the centre of the track, no horse was travelling stronger than the five-year-old whose career highlight previously came in the 2011 Group 3 Dee Stakes.
That success at Chester also happened to be his last win and Glen's Diamond snapped a losing run of ten starts with victory on the Knavesmire.
The victory was made all the more remarkable by the fact that he has only once finished better than fourth in that time, in the Yorkshire Cup last year, and it is clearly a race that falls perfectly for the Richard Fahey-trained gelding.
There was just a nose between Glen's Diamond and Top Trip at the line, but the way the race unfolded for both could not have been more diametrically opposed.
While Glen's Diamond bounced out, was exuberant and took an early lead and three furlongs out was travelling all over his rivals, Mickael Barzalona had a far tougher time on the Francois Doumen-trained colt.
The four-year-old was always reluctant, had to be pushed along to hold his position towards the rear of the field and never really picking up the bit. Top Trip was jostled and niggled along throughout, indeed the only point at which he looked like he would figure in the finish was in the closing stages.
As Glen's Diamond kicked clear and the field faded away, Top Trip, still plugging on, was the only one who could go with him. And as the duo entered the final furlong and a half, he slowly ground into the lead, the pair passing the line in unison, the judge and his magnifying glass required to separate them. The pair pulled three and a quarter lengths clear of the third, Royal Diamond.
Of Top Trip Doumen said: "I'm never pleased when I get beat by a couple of inches. However, it was his biggest test and I'm still happy to find out we've have a good horse. It wasn't his ideal surface but he proven he's very well and that he stays.
"He can be a bit lazy but he's kicked on at the end and he's just not had enough. I never set targets straight after the heat of the battle."
Glen's Diamond was given a quote of 66-1 for the Melbourne Cup by Paddy Power.

Comments: These elbows are really nice and light and seem to give decent protection, the downside for me is that i don't really like how the "elbow pocket" feels and they seem to run
really small. I am 6'4 240 and they Large elbow pads seem a little tight on me but def do not slide down my arm.. I am coming from the RBK 7K size 6 elbows which feel loose and do slide down my arm.
From: Dustin, San Jose, CA
Comments: These elbows pads are the best ones I ever had. Super light weight and good mobility. However, after 1 year of use, the insoles and under layer were ripped and torn off. I emailed CCM and they were able to send me a replacement. Good customer service.
From: Arthur, Vancouver, Canada
Comments: CCM definitely stepped up their game with their protective equipment! These elbow pads are the best ones I've purchased so far. I went through JOFA,RBK pros, Bauer One95's and these are very light, comfortable and the grip inside keeps them placed on the elbows! Highly recommend these.
From: Tony, CA
Comments: Love how light and moisture resistant these are. However, the L run very tight and small. I am 6'2, 225 lbs. I am in a size Large CCM CL Elbow Pad. I can just barely secure all of the straps. My forearms are 13 inch, 14 inch biceps. I am not carrying python arms by any account of the imagination, just proportionate arms of what a 6'2 athletic guy ought to have (maybe a bit on the smallish side actually). If I do not strap the middle strap, then I get a good, secure fit. I knew that the pads would run short, and planned on wearing wrist guards anyway, so that is not a big issue. The tightness will not be an issue either, but if your arms are bigger than mine, then these may not be the elbow pads for you.
From: Cosmic, Indonesia
Comments: I have a friend who bought a pair and let me try them on and feel in love instantly, What turned me onto these elbow pads was the smooth edge
the elbow has, I really dislike the ones that have a protruding elbow and interfere with jersey fits. You get a lot of freedom and protection from these. Would recommend highly
From: Peter, CA
Comments: Best elbows out to date, very light and comfortable. They lock into place well too. Only issue I have is on the one locking strap the neoprene material is starting to break down, but I'd still get another pair.
From: Travis, VA
Comments: Very light weight, good protection but size large is slightly small for my arm. Wish they came in XL. You may want to consider the Reebok for a more fuller coverage of the forearm.
From: Al, NY
Comments: Amazingly light and a fantastic fit! Had trouble with other brands sliding down. Slash guard is just the right size, and not too long like other high-end elbow pads. Upper arm guard fits tight, so makesure it sits below your shoulder pad bicep guard, or will fit underneath it.
From: Chad, CA
Comments: So comfortable and super light!
From: Noah, Canada
Comments: Best elbow pads on the market. SOO light!!

Skip to comments.Utah teachers get free gun training in response to Newtown shooting
Posted on 12/27/2012 7:28:00 PM PST by tobyhill
Kasey Hansen, a special education teacher from Salt Lake City, Utah, says she would take a bullet for any of her students, but if faced with a gunman threatening her class, she would rather be able to shoot back.
On Thursday, she was one of 200 Utah teachers who flocked to an indoor sports arena for free instruction in the handling of firearms by gun activists who say armed educators might have a chance at thwarting deadly shooting rampages in their schools.
The event was organized by the Utah Shooting Sports Council in response to the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, this month that killed 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The council said it has typically attracted about 16 teachers each year to its concealed carry training courses. But Thursday's event near Salt Lake City, organized especially for educators in the aftermath of Newtown, drew interest from hundreds, and the class was capped at 200 for space limitations.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Free gun training will do them no good, unless they're also allowed to carry those guns to school. Hopefully, there will also be heavy background and psychological tests for those teachers; wouldn't want the next school shooter to be a deranged teacher.
Well, that rules out all democRATs.
Leave it to the locals. No fed intervention. Voluntary basis with 2 weeks at Front Sight for a starter. Those that don't wish to participate can get advanced life support training. Email, hard mail, call, fax or whatever you need to do to contact your reps and sens and tell them NO on further restrictions on millions of law abiding citizens. This goes for your state assembly persons too. Or whatever they are in your locale.
I read the df wants to reduce to 1 item instead of 2 items during the last "ban". I suggest grenade launchers might be the item that disqualifies something. Yup, those dang 1911's with grenade launchers are sure dangerous. What an idiot. (Armed security available 24/7 if requested. Hypocrit much?)
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
I believe UT does allow ccw's in schools. I don't know how widespread the law is, but it does include colleges and its students.
"Kasey Hansen, a special education teacher from Salt Lake City, Utah, says she would take a bullet for any of her students, but if faced with a gunman threatening her class, she would rather be able to shoot back."
I do not know if one can carry legally in Utah k-12 schools, but I do know for a fact that one can carry on college campuses in that State. My daughter, FReeper PowerBaby, goes to USU. She tells me that it is quite common for students to be carrying on campus. Logan happens to be one of the safest college towns in America.
I am a teacher in a public school, and I would love a small biometric safe that I could house a .38 in.
DING DING DING! We have a winner!
Of course we have a golden opportunity to both protect the kids and fix the corrupted "public education system" (socialist indoctrination centers)
Fire all the teachers and close the schools. Rent out the buildings to people who actually want to run a school. Let them compete with each other on the basis of learning results, and providing an ultra-secure learning environment for their students.
"I am a teacher in a public school, and I would love a small biometric safe that I could house a .38 in."
Would you tell the shooter: "wait a sec while I open this safe?"
They can carry in Utah schools if they have CCW permits.
Most is not all. We only need a few. It may role back some of the feminization of the schools.
A gun in a safe is better than nothing.
"A gun in a safe is better than nothing."
You might have a half second from the time the shooter spies you. Can you get your gun out of the safe and aimed in less than half a second?
If, OTOH, the gun were on your desktop, you might have the edge on the shooter.
Educating people. Isn't that what schools are for? Hold the classes in them.
"wouldnt want the next school shooter to be a deranged teacher."
Give me a break... If you can't trust them with a gun, why would you trust them with our children or grand children?
>>Would you tell the shooter: wait a sec while I open this safe?
That's why they have ones that pop open after a correct thumbprint.
">>Would you tell the shooter: wait a sec while I open this safe?
Thats why they have ones that pop open after a correct thumbprint."
Ms. Soto, a teacher murdered by the animal, had time to get a gun from the safe and put herself into position to plug the shooter.
What if a krazy kid takes your gun from the desk. You trust all the students to have access to your gun on or in the desk?
Hopefully, there will also be heavy background and psychological tests for those teachers; wouldnt want the next school shooter to be a deranged teacher.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Why? The 2nd amendment says nothing about heavy background and psychological tests. In Vermont there is no restriction or application needed for concealed carry and the state is very peaceful, no whackadoodles stage shootouts.The bad part there is that schools are "gun free " zones, which should not be tolerated by Vermonters one bit.It just invites anty potential crazed shooter to wade in for a little target practice.Any teacher who wants to have a concealed weapon in a classroom lock up should be able to have that, no conditions whatsoever, no questions asked.That goes double for any school that is a so called "gun free" zone, which is nothing but a shooting gallery for the mentally ill.
Teachers should meet bi monthly for firearms training on a weekend.
12 posted on Thu Dec 27 2012 22:27:47 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time) by marktwain: "They can carry in Utah schools if they have CCW permits."
Another factor is Utah will issue CCWs to out-of-state residents. I know several Missourians who have them, and with reciprocity laws, it provides a useful way for people to get permission to carry concealed without showing up on Missouri state lists of CCW permit holders. (Think of the New York newspaper and their interactive map, and you'll know why some CCW permit holders don't want to be on the registry of the state where they actually live.)
Since being involved in public life in Utah usually means being a Mormon, this is giving me some new-found respect for Mormons on at least one point.
I don't care for Mormon doctrine at all, but they seem to have things right when it comes to guns.
(And no, I'm not saying Carry_Okie's family is Mormon; I don't know and that's not my point. My point is you usually can't get laws passed in Utah if the Mormons are opposed to them, and if the Mormons are supporting something, it's very likely to pass.)
It would be mildly embarrassing if lots of Baptists and Pentecostals teaching in public schools in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and other Southern states have to go to Utah for special classes in a proven program for armed teachers to coordinate their response to active shooter incidents in schools, but it would be worth it if that protects the kids.
As I said over on another schools-and-guns thread:
Let's not underestimate the power of armed citizenry to respond when the police aren't yet there, or when the police have been shot as some of the first casualties in a well-planned attack. Muslim terrorists haven't yet attacked many Southern or rural targets in America, and there may be good reasons for that. Disarmed people make helpless targets, and there aren't a lot of disarmed people in the South or other parts of rural America.
My only problem with NRA official Wayne LaPierres now famous statement that The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun is that some of those guys are female. That's especially true in schools where many and sometimes most of the staff are female. Islamic radicals seem to have a hard time understanding that just because someone wears high heels and a skirt doesn't mean they can't shoot back.
The last thing I want is to see a terrorist attack on a school on American soil, but if, God forbid, something like that does happen, I wouldn't mind at all seeing a 5'1 teacher go on the national news explaining how her years of deer hunting with dad equipped her to conceal herself and move quickly from room to room shooting the subhuman animals in the head who were trying to kill her kids.
Nobody with brain wants to be in a situation like that, but we need to start educating the American mainstream that having lots of guns in a community is a great deterrent which should be encouraged, not a danger to be feared.
Also, we need to work harder at explaining to people who support women's rights that one of the best ways for women to reduce the inherent imbalance in physical power between men and women is for the woman to be well-trained in how to shoot an attacker. A gun makes a great equalizer in gender relations, and I think a fair number of people who don't consider themselves to be conservatives on other issues can be brought around to understand the benefits of promoting gun ownership by women.
"Wouldnt want the next school shooter to be a deranged teacher....Well, that rules out all democRATs......
No joke....Irrational people with guns are dangerous....In truth, the vast majority of teachers SHOULD NOT be armed....
The 2nd amendment also does not mention anything about deranged or psychologically damaged people>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Correct. And the right to defend one's life does not depend on anyone proving they are NOT crazy.People are assumed to be sane. Teachers who are hired by a schoolboards are assumed to be sane.
As a matter of fact, despite yout faulty logic, you also are assumed to be sane.
And there should be no "comprehensive" tests or checks on any teacher who wants to have the benefit of being armed.There should be training however, and periodic qualification of training standards.
Even conservatives these days find it challenging not to be liberals who think the world has to proove itself sane before anyone in it can even get a bus ticket.
This is nothing about being liberal or conservative when it comes to gun ownership.
Fact is that, a deranged or psychologically damaged teacher should not be teaching in the first place. Chances are that, that kind of screening is not done right now, or is lacking in comprehensiveness. The idea behind the screening for the teachers is not to keep them from owning or using guns; it's for the protection of the children from teachers, whether they own guns or not. A teacher is in a special situation, and the children should not be exposed to someone who could create havoc in their lives. Screening those teachers would bring out problems which otherwise would have gone unnoticed from the beginning.
>>Half a second?
Point being, would he ever dare to come in the school when he knows teachers are armed? He would probably go to gun-free mall instead.
Sorry, I didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade.
I was saying that if a madman comes into a school with a gun ready to rock, teachers with a gun had better be ready to roll and I'm not sure if having a gun in a safe will get it done.
I'm impressed with Ms. Soto's actions but doubt that she's the norm although I note that though "she put herself into position to plug the shooter," she was the one who got plugged instead of having the time to aim and shoot first.

Mountain Weave All Cotton Placemats
A Vermont Tradition Of Quality and Style
Made by our neighbors in Dorset, Vermont, these sturdy, practical Mountain Weave placemats recall the homespun fabric hand-loomed in the mountains of Vermont 150 years ago. 100% cotton is woven on state-of-the-art looms by master weavers, and then each one is individually cut and hand-fringed. 20"x14" Washing the placemats tightens the weave and softens the fabric. Expect some shrinkage because they are made of 100% cotton. For best results, machine wash cold and stretch the placemats while they line dry. USA.
- Soft, welcoming 100% cotton
- Reversible for double the wear
- Made for us in Dorset, Vermont
Mountain Weave All Cotton Placemats

Being the denim cut-off addicts we are, we couldn't help but snap a few shots of DJ Eerochka, who has held residency at infamous NYC venues like Pianos, Mehanata, Radegast Beer Garden, when we saw her running around the LES in this pair of flawlessly destroyed jean shorts. We were digging the exposed pockets, leather & metallic belt, and deeeeep v-neck. If you're going to party in the LES this summer, this should more or less by your standard to go by when "dressing up".

Four Killed as Gunman Opens Fire with AK-47 in IHOP
A gunman in Carson City, Nev. opened fire with an AK-47 at an IHOP on Tuesday morning, killing three before shooting himself in the head. His motive is unclear. Two of the victims were members of the Nevada Army National Guard; the third was a civilian.
The shooter, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Department, is 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion; besides the three victims, six others were injured in what sounds like a terrifying few minutes:
Witnesses said a man pulled up outside the IHOP on U.S. Highway 395 in a blue minivan. He shot a man on a motorcycle, then walked inside the restaurant and started shooting, said Ralph Swagler, owner of Locals Barbecue in the same strip mall as the IHOP.
Swagler told the Reno Journal-Gazette that after several minutes, the man walked outside and began firing into the Locals Barbecue and an H&R Block in the strip mall.
One man's body lay just outside restaurant and two other bodies were still inside the restaurant just before noon. Police were seen looking for bullet holes in the Fandango casino across the street.

I have already looked at your sewage ejection systems for basement installations. A sump hole already exist in my basement. I think is for drainage, I guess in case my basement floods.
Do I need a seperate hole for the sewage ejection system. Or, can I just drain to that hole and install ejection pump for sewage waste. Trying to stick to a low income budget, but I really need the second bathroom.

Photo by Gage Skidmore. CC-SA. Tony Lucadamo, Senior Editor at the Virginia Policy Review, contributes today's guest post, which explores whether Mitt Romney represents a new generation of consultancy leaders. If you have not already, I encourage you to watch a recent PBS Frontline special on the Presidents entitled, "The Choice 2012." The show's season premiere takes an in-depth look at the backgrounds of both Presidential nominees. The most interesting point was this. Nicholas Lemann of the New Yorker remarked: It's a little bit like a consulting engagement. You go in. You figure out what the problems are. You fix things. You make things more organized. Then you go on to the next challenge. Romney's senior advisors essentially concur in later statements. Their narrative runs like a private equity assignment. He presented a product – the socially liberal, fiscally conservative Governor -- which he thought would meet demand. He then did what he could given a Democratic-controlled State legislature. In particular, he picked the issue of healthcare and made it the main issue of his four years in office. Yet, in many ways, this alternate method is nothing new. Certainly, populism has been around for a long time. Governor Romney's Profile is perhaps an evolution of the executive-centered, efficiency-minded values that took root in the Progressive Era combined with a populism gleaned through the lens of modern business. The service sector constitutes an increasing proportion of U.S. GDP with each passing year. In that case, it should come as no surprise that this new generation of leaders is upon us. Men and women who have built their careers in private equity and consulting may increasingly seek to transfer their skills into politics. There is equal fodder for both pessimists and optimists in that case. Continue reading this post at the Virginia Policy Review.
