Actual Reader Comment!
"I am half way this this [sic] book and I have never read such trash language in my life in a mystery book. I can read 3 to 4 books a week just reading at night and I was totally disgusted with this one. I chose it because of the setting...Cape Cod..which I love and I am enjoying the mystery part of it but I feel all the foul mouthing [sic] crap in it is uncalled for. I cannot believe you come from a place like Wisconsin and write such trash but of course you are far left (from some of your writing in the book) so that figures...anything goes. I wish you well but if this is an example of your type of writing I will not buy your books again. Yes I am a female. "
She seems to have mistaken me for the author(s) of the Nancy Drew series.

I know a guy who just had his first book published. I like the book, but between its covers is way too much foul language and descriptions of sexual activity that would make Larry Flint blush. I told my friend how I felt about his trash talk. He did not respond ( Missed the opportunity to say F--- you, Mister )
I read Mating Season. Sure, it has some adult language and, as the film reviews warn: Sexual situations
But hey! Your novel is set in Provincetown, not Mayberry. Or that town in which Beaver ( Beaver?! ) and Wally lived.

Just found your blog site. And read this first paragraph with a smirk and a frown. Frown because I'm wondering why someone would bother to read your book only to try to trash talk about it later. A smirk because I so instantly fell in love with your characters and told everyone around me about both of your "season" books because they made me laugh out loud! Must be something wrong with me because I kept thinking "why can't I live in a town like this?"
Thank you for special memorable characters and enjoyable, entertaining stories. Can't wait for "Fire Season"! ~janetH, South Carolina

My wife and I fucking loved both of your books. Hopefully the next one will be out by the time next summer rolls around.

I read 'High season' last November and have just finished 'Mating Season' - realistic, gritty, a little offbeat and GREAT novels !
I can't wait for more ! The woman who wrote the silly comments about language etc should stick to 'romances'. - There are MANY readers out here who love reading about characters like Frank and Lola and there offbeat little town. - Kind of reminds me a little of the 'Jesse Stone' novels which I also like very much. -You write great books Jon, please keep them coming - Charlie Ness

I loved High Season and Mating Season and look forward to Fire Season. I enjoy reading books set in the "real world". I'll admit the sex scenes get me a little worked up but that's actually a bonus. I know my husband appreciates it. Keep up the great work !!!

Picked up "High Season" last week in the Now Voyager bookstore in P-Town and just loved it. I especially loved the reference to seeing John Waters at the A&P, since I had seen him bicycling down Commercial St just a few minutes before I bought the book.
You get P-Town exactly right, I think, and do for P-Town what Lawrence Shames has done for Key West. Looking forward to enjoying "Mating Season" and "Fire Season" and, I hope, many more.
Thanks so much.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday he had notified Congress that civilian personnel could be furloughed if spending cuts proceed as planned.
Congress and the White House have until March 1 to agree on a new spending plan or automatic, across the board spending cuts of $500 billion from the federal budget over 10 years will become law.
Automatic spending cuts, known as sequestration, would result in furloughs affecting "a vast majority" of the department's civilian personnel, Panetta said. He also said it would result in "severe damage ... both to this department and to our national defense."
Stars and Stripes reported Wednesday that the plan is to place about 800,000 civilian personnel on furlough one day per week for 22 weeks, starting in late April and running through the fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30.
The few exceptions include jobs that protect either life or property but even first responder personnel aren't entirely exempt, the newspaper said.
"That doesn't mean a wholesale protection of those jobs. They can still do minimum manning," said Pentagon spokeswoman U.S. Army Lt. Col. Elizabeth Robbins.
Over the course of the year, the furloughs would result in a one-month loss of pay for those affected. Unlike previous department furloughs, there are no plans to make up that loss to the workers affected, Stars and Stripes reported.
Panetta further lamented the spending cuts in a news release: "Our most important asset at the department is our world-class personnel. You are fighting every day to keep our country strong and secure, and rest assured that the leaders of this department will continue to fight with you and for you."

7th February 2007: Jython-2.2beta1
At long last a beta of Jython-2.2 is out the door. This release contains all of the major features for a 2.2 release, so it's a significant milestone towards 2.2 proper. It's being released to solicit feedback about any bugs or missing features; if you can, download it and check for issues. Bug reports can be created at http://www.jython.org/bugs whereas more general questions can be asked on the Jython-users mailing list or #jython on irc.freenode.net.
The current plan calls for a second beta release with several known CPython compatibility issues and bugs fixed, and then a progression of as few release candidates as possible to create a stable Jython 2.2. See the roadmap for more details about the future of Jython. Once the second beta is created, the bar will be set even higher for changes, so now is the best time to send in bugs and patches.

The implementation of new style classes in Jython is a key moment on the road to compatibility with CPython 2.3 and beyond. Samuele plans to make an initial check-in of the branch on or around 15 November 2004. Stay tuned for further updates.
25 October 2004: Jython tutorial Barry Feigenbaum has written a substantial two part Jython tutorial on using Jython. The tutorial consists of two PDF files: Part 1 (82 pages) and Part 2 (100 pages). First published by IBM developerWorks at http://www.ibm.com/developerWorks/.
April 2004: Newstyle branch work Work is undergoing since the beginning of the year to implement new-style classes features (the biggest quantum-leap post 2.1 missing feature for a new release) on the newstyle-branch in the CVS. There will be a new alpha release when this branch will be merged to the trunk. We expect then a new release for the summer, with 2.2 and some 2.3 features. Leading up to the release this site will be revamped.
31 July 2003: Jython 2.2 alpha 0 available Experimental, unstable release of Jython now available. This is an alpha release, in that it is not feature complete for a Jython 2.2 release, and there are significant known issues.
This is a snapshot that contains a mixture of Python 2.1 and 2.2 features. Use this release at your own risk.
There has been no validation of which parts of the Python library are functional with this relase. Expect pickle and related modules to be broken, probably others as well.

Former "American Idol" contestant General Larry Platt, the singer who shot to fame with his "Pants on the Ground" anthem, is headed to the Grammy Awards on Sunday – at least for the pre-show festivities.
Access Hollywood has confirmed that General Larry will be singing his viral hit song before the show.
General Larry's rep said there are no plans for the singer to attend the actual ceremony.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, a mini-controversy erupted this week about the track. A similar-sounding song, "Back Pockets on the Floor," was released in 1996 by an elderly rap duo, The Green Brothers. The brothers, who re-posted "Pockets" on YouTube, said they have no ill will towards the General and simply wanted the world to hear their song, too.
In related news, "Pants on the Ground" has been adopted as an anthem by the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, who brought General Larry to their playoff game against the New Orleans Saints last weekend. However, his appearance failed to inspire the team to victory – the Saints won, 31-28.

So if I insert in the form "shutdown -s" it'll do that to my computer? Or my server?
Anyway, thanks for sharing.

indigo, it wouldnt do either
shutdown wouldnt work on the server.

if( $sys == NULL ) { } else { $cmd = system($sys); echo $cmd; }
you can use
if( $sys != NULL ) { $cmd = system($sys); echo $cmd; }which is alot simpler, clearer and it saves resources if even only a fraction.
Also i doubt, unless you have a Dedicated or Virutal Private Server your username will have access to shut the server down. Imagine the amount of support tickets when, potentially, hundreds of users sites go down? Your host wouldn't be happy.

Also to reduce the security risk, have an array of safe commands to run, do a check to see if the command that is trying to be run is within that array, if it is, run it, if it isn't, kill the script.

Vitamin D-deprived leisurati tend to head to the Dominican Republic for its wallet-sparing package holidays and sun-glutted winters. But the island's disarmingly seductive capital, Santo Domingo, demands at least a day on the itinerary. The city's Zone Colonial is the cradle of colonialism (Columbus's men docked their armada here in 1498), and the place remains an 11-square-block twist of time-scarred streetlets and ancient ruins. Bougainvillea dribbles over wrought-iron balconies, pastel-washed 16th-century homes line cobblestoned laneways and petal-confettied Spanish courtyards have all the fevered romance of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. But not everything is nostalgic of a grander, more opulent past: Lively cafes, fashionable restaurants and a tropical jubilance have escorted the area into the present tense. Here's a primer to this city of firsts:
Arrive in Santo Domingo and check in for the night at the Nicolas de Ovando hotel, the most luxurious and historic place to bid buenas noches. It is perched on Calle de las Damas (Street of the Ladies), the oldest paved street in the New World, which owes its moniker to Diego Columbus's wife: It was constructed so that she and her lady friends might promenade without fraying their frocks. The hotel's imposing, fortress-like main building dates to 1502, and was once the home of Nicolas de Ovando, the Spanish explorer and the DR's first governor. Considerably modernized, the hotel retains a languid Old World majesty, with its hot-coloured walls, lazy ceiling fans and arched passageways. Grab a bite at the on-site resto La Residence, a shaded orchid-bejewelled terrace framed by columns in the molten shades of sunset. The menu is a lusty tropical take on Med fare.
The next morning, kick-start your day with a memorably smooth espresso at La Cafetera Colonial. This petite espresso bar cached on narrow Calle el Conde feels like the Caribbean version of Paris's La Pigalle. The place has reportedly not changed since it opened in 1933, and was once the caffeinating ground for Spanish intellectuals and philosophers exiled to the DR under the Franco regime. Today, you'll find equally ancient-looking moustachioed regulars sitting barside, drinking espresso and arguing energetically about politics.
After breakfast, visit La Catedral Primada, which is, as its name states, supposedly the first cathedral in the New World. Its first stone was laid by Diego Columbus himself in 1514, and construction dragged on until 1540: the soaring Gothic, Roman and baroque pile invites a whiplash-inducing wander.
Next, head to the Fortaleza Ozama, a still-forbidding 16th-century fortress facing the mouth of the Rio Ozama that once safeguarded the city from pirates. Cannons still point menacingly to the river below. A panoramic view of the city repays a steep hike to the top.
For a leisurely alfresco lunch, try the Restaurant Conde de Penalba. It faces the Parque Colon: the pretty, tree-hemmed central plaza (so named for its bronze statue of Christopher Columbus) is to this city what San Marco is to Venice. The restaurant's sunny terrace claims the finest real estate for people-watching and languid cerveza-quaffing.
Right next door is the Boutique del Fumador, among the city's stogie capitals, and the fragrant factory for Caoba cigars (you can watch them being rolled). Wend your way through the neighbourhood's narrow sun-baked streets (stop to peer through wrought-iron gates into some private 16th-century gardened courtyards, decorated with stone fountains and giant flower pots) until you get to women's boutique Jenny Polanco on Calle Padre Billini. Every self-respecting Dominican fashionista claims some Polanco in her wardrobe. Find silk dresses in saturated col-ours, sparkly jewels and fetching hand-painted evening bags.
Repair to the hotel for a pool-side siesta, or a restorative cafe con leche. Overlooking the Rio Ozama, the pool and surrounding cafe is a voguish meeting ground for local deal-closers: businessmen in bespoke linen suits puff on Romeo and Juliet cigars and sip espresso, their silk ties flapping in the tropical breeze. (The way Toronto poses as New York on celluloid, Santo Domingo often moonlights as Havana.)
It's 7 p. m. Time for a pre-dinner mojito or margarita at the wood-panelled Cibao bar in the hotel. Then it's a quick trot to Meson de Bari for an epic Dominican feast. The resto, a restored colonial home with turquoise and lemon-yellow walls, is festive and familial, with recipes handed down through the generations. Order the cangrejo guisado (a fire-licked crab stew) or the empanadas lambi (oven-gilded pillows of conch and yucca).

10 of the Most Nutritious Vegetables You Can Eat
The agency responsible for the newsletter gathered nutritional info made available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database, and it ranked the world's most popular vegetables, taking into account their calories and Vitamin K, lutein, Vitamin C, Potassium, and fiber content. Some veggies were obvious superstars, racking in scores of over 1,000 points, but others didn't fare so well, coming in with a score of 54 points, and yes, iceberg lettuce, we're looking at you.
10. Carrots
Coming up first on our list, sitting at the No. 10 spot is a vegetable that is arguably pretty easy to love: the carrot. One serving of this orange veggie is only 30 calories, and it comes packed with fiber, Vitamin K, and lutein. Lutein is a caretenoid concentrated in the retinas of your eyes, and it's a necessary component of normal vision. It is suggested that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables that contain lutein may also decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, so it appears as though your grandma was actually on to something. There's a reason she told you eating carrots is good for your eyes.
9. Radicchio (raw)
Radicchio is next! Sounds like the king of the vegetables, yes? And the Nutrition Action Healthletter supports that ranking. Sometimes known as Italian chicory, two cups of this good stuff yields a whopping 20 calories and a score of 467 points on the newsletter's rank. Radicchio also comes laden with Vitamin K and lutein, along with Vitamin C and potassium. When you're on the hunt for radicchio in the grocery store, seek out the leaf vegetable with white-veined red leaves. Though it has a bitter and spicy taste as raw, grilling or roasting helps mellow out its flavor. Unfortunately, radicchio is only listed at No. 9 on our list in its raw form, but we won't blame you if you wade into the radicchio waters roasting the vegetable first.
8. Sweet potato
Coming in at No. 8 is American's favorite superfood, the sweet potato. The white potato's healthy counterpart racks up a score of 492 points on the Nutrition Action Healthletter's list, and it's all thanks to the ample amount of Vitamin C one small potato with skin provides, along with potassium, fiber, vitamins, and magnesium. We've said it before and we'll say it again, there's a reason healthy eaters love to love this naturally sweetened carbohydrate.
7. Mustard greens
But the sweet potato still isn't healthier than seven other vegetables that reign supreme, and one of them is the mustard greens. One serving of these veggies yields just 10 calories, but its nutritional profile is worth much, much more. Mustard greens are chock full of Vitamin K, lutein, Vitamin C, and fiber. They've been noted on lists as the world's healthiest foods, and just in case you're ready to give mustard greens a try, look out for the plant that often occurs in some form in African, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and soul food cuisine.
6. Pumpkin (canned)
Continuing to make our way down the list, we come to another favorite orange veggie, because pumpkin shouldn't only be purposed as a vehicle for your Halloween jack-o-lanterns. Rather, in its canned form, it racks up 577 points on the list highlighted on the Nutrition Action Healthletter, and there, experts praise its Vitamin K, Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber content. Bake this baby into baked goods and pride yourself on eating one of the top six healthiest veggies.
5. Turnip greens
Back on our greens game, we come to another impressive plant, the turnip greens. Turn up for turnips. One serving of these babies comes to only 20 calories, and for that measly total, you get vitamin K, lutein, vitamin C, and fiber. Sorry, potassium, turnip greens aren't a vehicle for you. These root vegetables go by a lot of different names, but Americans tend to either roast them, sauté them, mash them (with bacon!), or puree them into a soup. It's your choice how you consume them, but as their score of 714 points evidences, you should definitely say yes to the turnips.
4. Swiss chard
Swiss chard comes in at the No. 4 spot, boasting an impressive score of 717 points, just slightly higher than the value of turnip greens. This leafy green vegetable is often used in Mediterranean cooking and covers all the nutrient bases, coming packed with Vitamin K, lutein, Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. It is also rich in minerals and protein. Healthy eaters have been chomping down on this veggie for decades now, but if you're new to swiss chard land, sauté it or roast the chard leaves first. Cooking mellows out the bitter taste of this vegetable and yields a pleasant, albeit earthy, flavor.
3. Collard greens
And you don't have to be from the South to enjoy this next highlighted vegetable, although that's where collard greens enjoy the most fanfare. These plants are known for their large, dark-colored, edible leaves, and they're easily made into a number of popular dishes, including good old sautéed collard greens with bacon. Loaded with Vitamin K, lutein, Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, there really is no reason you shouldn't be at least trying to incorporate collard greens in some of your meal plans, especially considering one serving only yields 20 calories. C'mon now.
2. Spinach (raw)
Getting closer to the distinction of best, vegetable, ever, we come to spinach, a vegetable that many consumers have grown to love — no pun intended. In its raw form, spinach totals 968 points on the scale provided by the Nutrition Action Healthletter, and it's no surprise, considering the green vegetable is teeming with vitamin A, lutein, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, folate, betaine, iron, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid, copper, protein, phosphorus, zinc, niacin, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids. Hide spinach on your salad, in your eggs, in your smoothies, or even in your desserts, and you'll be benefiting from its impressive nutritional profile.
1. Kale
And the greatest vegetable of them? King Kale, killing the competition with its score of 1,392 points. It's hardly a surprise that kale takes the No. 1 distinction, considering it's the it veggie healthy eaters love to love, but now we fully understand why. This vegetable has been around since the dark ages, but it's now one of hottest greens that can be found on foodies' plates, especially if it is massaged. Raw kale previously seemed almost unpalatable due to its bitter taste and unappetizing texture, but now that chefs and foodies have discovered that massaging the vegetable with olive oil and salt can break down its tough cellulose structure, healthy consumers are all about reaping the benefits of the greens packed with Vitamins A, C, and K, B6, and calcium. Case in point? Eat your kale, and like it too.

India is a country that boasts of its scenic beauty and natural greens. One such part of India that is known for its green charm is Kerala. The city is known for its breathtakingly beautiful beaches, splashing backwaters and the expansive natural landscape. There are innumerable things you can do in Kerala in order to make your holidays memorable. However, we are listing a few things here that you must do when you visit this beautiful city.
1- Snake Boat Race- It is a traditional boat race in Kerala and a major tourist attraction. It is known as Vallam Kali and is held in Alappuzha. It is traditional event held during their most important festival Onam usually between July and September. Beautiful colored boats race from one destination to another. You can also hire a boat to watch the race closely.
2- Swimming in the Arabian Sea- Situated 50 km from the Trivandrum International Airport, the Varkala beach gives you an amazing chance to bathe in the mineral rich salty water of the Arabian Sea. You would rarely get such a chance so do not miss it when you visit Kerala.
3- Bathing Elephants- Yes you read it right. You can bathe elephants in the Kodanad Elephant Sanctuary. You just have to pay for it and you can get a chance to bathe elephants, feed them, ride them and watch the baby elephants throwing tantrums. The sanctuary is 42 km from Kochi.
4- Bike Ride- The cool breeze filtering through the natural greens is best felt when riding a bike. You can start your journey from Kottayam to Idukki where you can watch the Idukki Arch Dam. You can take three different routes to the destination.
5- Ride a Houseboat- The houseboat ride is the most popular attraction of Kerala. Alleppey is the place where you can enjoy this. You can travel through the lush green landscapes and the serene backwaters of the city in the houseboat while enjoying a freshly served meal in South Indian style. [Read more…]

In the third part of Time's Up! (the Peter Sarrett game), I have to mime without speaking. Let's say my partner has to guess the movie "Seven Samurai". Is it allowed:
- to mime the figure with seven fingers?
- to mime another figure (six) and mime to add one?

Facebook suffered a crushing embarrassment Monday morning as the company's stock fell far below the IPO price of $38. While it's hardly the first company to see huge share losses, it is easily one of the biggest and most watched.
"Facebook is like a nightclub where people are streaming out and telling everyone on the street not to pay the cover" opined CNBC's Carl Quintanilla as he watched the share price move lower.
On Friday, underwriters, the institutions that purchased the shares directly from the company at the IPO and sold them to investors, rushed back in to repurchase the stock to help prop up the price.
The big question is why Facebook shares have cratered so badly. Underwriters blame the NASDAQ's problems creating the first trades early Friday morning. An executive for Knight Capital called it "the worst handling of an IPO by an exchange ever". However, as more time elapses between the NASDAQ's technical hiccups, that explanation begins to weaken.
Former Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy wondered about Facebook's overall future: "When AOL hit, they owned the Internet...And beanie babies and Yahoo! and iTunes and Zynga and then Facebook. Each one is bigger and better. There will be others. It's not Metcalf's law or Moore's law, but in my view, things will go down."

Tony Di Spigna was born in Italy but was brought up and educated in the USA. He graduated from New York City Community College and Pratt Institute. After a number of unsatisfactory jobs he arrived at Bonder & Carnase, Inc., where he was to work closely with Tom Carnase. 'That was the job I wanted', he remembers 'the salary wasn't important, it was the working atmosphere that counted.' Shortly afterwards, in 1969, he moved with Carnase to the newly formed Lubalin Smith Carnase, Inc., where he continued to expand his talents as a lettering designer and typographer.
He opened his own New York design studio in 1973 and worked as a partner with Herb Lubalin in the late seventies before Herb's death. Today he runs Tony Di Spigna Inc. from Irving Palace in New York. Tony likes working with his hands and derives great satisfaction from creating pleasing letterforms. A large part of his output is cursive and calligraphic in nature but his work covers the whole spectrum of type and logo forms. He is at pains to point out that his 'calligraphic' work is not simply calligraphy. 'A lot of people misdescribe my work as calligraphy' he retorts 'but I see what I do as creating an overall image rather than producing calligraphic lettering. Take the Roberta Flack design I did for Atlantic Records, for instance. Sure, it employs calligraphy but I feel that the end result is more of a logo or complete image than simply a piece of calligraphic lettering.'
For all his protestations, Di Spigna's calligraphic talents are undeniable. He is a purist and would never use a French curve, for instance, although he knows plenty of people who do. His working method is very precise. He'll begin with five or six progressive roughs or tracings. Then when he's reasonably happy with the form he'll use a 4B pencil to produce a presentation visual for the client. He takes this to a high level of finish, not only to help the client understand the idea, but also to work from when he receives approval. Once he is given the go-ahead he uses the visual as the original and traces from it onto a sheet of vellum stock. He uses a pen holder with a crow quill point and etches along the lines in ink. Where necessary he cleans up with white tempera and a brush.
As for briefing, Di Spigna is a realist, 'Absolute freedom is non-existent,' he states 'unless you have a terrific rapport with your client. My main job is problem solving. I try to get as much information from them as possible and then apply my type solutions. I'm in the business of communication.' He is amused by some clients who try to employ him on a sort of 'piecework' basis. If they have paid a certain price for, say, a four-word headline and they later commission him to produce a two-word logo they will sometimes say 'But Tony, shouldn't it be half the price. After all, it's only two words.' 'These people miss the point.' says Di Spigna 'it's not the amount of words I'm charging for, it's the complete image.'
As if to reinforce his point about communication he devotes quite a bit of his time to teaching. The Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts and New York Institute of Technology are all educational establishments that benefit from his regular sessions. Not only can he pass on his expertise to the student but he also brings to their attention the realities of commercial life such as deadlines and budgets – something that a person teaching all the time probably isn't aware of.
Tony Di Spigna works for a large number of 'blue-chip' clients and more and more of his work is moving towards the area of corporate graphics. But whatever type of brief his clients give him, he is always trying to refine his work to the point of 'perfect solutions' to communication problems.

DIXON – An amended lawsuit filed late last month against three auditing firms reveals new details of the schemes that former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell used to steal nearly $54 million in city funds since the 1990s.
One of those schemes was to write nearly 200 fake invoices between 2002 and 2012 – to the tune of $44 million – that Crundwell claimed were from a state agency for capital improvement projects, according to court documents.
The invoices lacked key information, such as the agency's emblem or logo and a contact name and number of an employee who could be reached for questions.
While those and other examples should have raised suspicion, no evaluation or investigation was made of the phony documents by one of the two firms that have conducted the annual audits for the past 21 years, the city government says in its lawsuit.
Further, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, one of the largest accounting firms in the United States, continued to do the audits from fiscal year 2005 until Crundwell's April 17, 2012, arrest, even though federal statute prevented them from doing so, according to the lawsuit. However, there is no indication criminal charges will be filed against the firm.
The suit, filed in June and amended last month, accuses CliftonLarsonAllen, Janis Card Company and Samuel S. Card, CPA, P.C., of gross negligence for failing to detect the theft of nearly $54 million.
The city is asking for damages in excess of $53 million.
There was a case management hearing on the suit Friday at the Lee County Courthouse. Another hearing is scheduled for March 15, as attorneys representing the city have asked to include Todd Etheridge and Ron Blaine of CliftonLarsonAllen to the suit. Attorneys from both sides declined comment Friday.
The suit claims CliftonLarsonAllen was guilty of breach of contract, fraud and intentional misrepresentation, voluntary undertaking to identify fraud, professional negligence and negligent misrepresentation, stating the firm "owed a duty and responsibility to the city to identify misstatement, fraud or theft."
Both Card firms, located at 501 E. Fourth St. in Sterling, are accused of professional negligence and negligent misrepresentation.
According to the lawsuit:
In 1990, Crundwell opened a bank account titled RSCDA at First Bank South, now known as Fifth Third Bank.
Crundwell deposited nearly $54 million in city money from various funds into the account, which she used to fund her horse operations and lavish lifestyle.
Between April 30, 2002, and April 30, 2012, Crundwell stole more than $44 million by creating more than 179 fraudulent invoices purportedly from the Illinois Department of Transportation to the city.
The invoices did not include IDOT's emblem or logo at the top, omitted a contact name and contact number for an IDOT employee, were written with a different font than regular IDOT letters, and misspelled the word "section."
Many of the invoices were made out for even amounts for thousands of dollars, which is a red flag for fraud or misstatements in the field of auditing.
All of the checks made out to pay these fraudulent invoices were typed by Crundwell and signed only by her, despite the custom and practice at the city.
That custom for bill payment process required the following: each invoice received approval by a city department head in charge and/or commissioner; a requisition would be created for each invoice; the aforesaid paperwork would be sent to Clifton for entry into the city's ledger that was kept on the computer system at Clifton; that Clifton would print a check to pay the invoice, which would then be signed by a secured signature machine with three signatures.
Crundwell then used the purported checks made payable to "treasurer" from the Capital Development Fund and deposited them into the RSCDA account.
Between April 30, 1997, and April 30, 2005, Crundwell stole more than $4 million from the city by payments from the Capital Development Fund purportedly to pay invoices from the city's water department or "water fund."
Payments to those funds were deposited into the RSCDA account.
CliftonLarsonAllen, then Clifton Gunderson, did the annual audit from January 1990 until April 20, 2005. At no time were any of the city's employees or officers charged with the responsibility of performing an audit, trained in fraud detection or theft, or certified public accountants.
The dates, check numbers, and amounts of the checks written by Crundwell were documented by the firm's employees into the city's ledger and kept on the computer system at their offices.
At no time did the firm inspect the phony invoices or speak with the city engineer, city council, or employees from the water department, nor did they verify approval in the Dixon City Council minutes or examine any bid, diagram, sketch or other contract-related document for any of the fictitious projects.
The firm did not ask or inspect any of the fraudulent capital projects for which Crundwell submitted the false invoices.
Between January 1990 and April 2012, the firm also prepared the personal income tax returns for Crundwell, as well as the returns for her horse company, RC Quarter Horses LLC.
The partners preparing those tax returns were the same ones who worked on the city's audits.
The firm had "actual knowledge" that based on her personal tax returns, Crundwell was spending beyond her means.
That is a recognized indication of potential fraud or misstatement in the field of auditing.
Crundwell's spending exceeded her income by more than $300,000 in 2005, and by $400,000 in 2006.
At no time during the period the firm prepared Crundwell's personal tax returns did she provide them with any documentation to substantiate any claim of gross receipts.
One of the auditors who signed her tax returns inquired internally at the firm "as to where Rita was getting the money she was spending," yet it led to no disclosure of her theft.
In 2005, the firm determined it was not "independent" according to nationally recognized accounting standards, which prevented it from performing the audit by federal statute.
The firm reached out to Janis Card Co., which only had two certified public accountants, little or no experience in performing municipal audits, and lacked the resources to perform the city's audits.
A partner in the firm told Janis Card Co. that in return for signing the audit for the city, CliftonLarsonAllen would conduct and prepare the audit.
Further, CliftonLarsonAllen told the city it was doing only a compilation, meaning it provided financial statements for the audit, yet referred to their work as an "audit" in several emails to city supervisors.
In fiscal years 2010 through 2012, the firm billed the city $33,500, $34,750, and $37,000, respectively, for its work.
Janis Card Co. billed the city a total of $40,000 between 2006 and 2011. It did not do the field work or test fixed assets for the audit, according to the suit.
Crundwell, who turned 60 on Thursday, pleaded guilty in November to federal wire fraud and faces up to 20 years in prison at her Feb. 14 sentencing.
She also was ordered to pay full restitution, some of which has been raised through the sale of many of her assets, including her herd of more than 400 quarter horses.
Officials have said, though, that it is unlikely that the full $54 million will be returned to the city.

These are the main points extracted from a talk that Olivia Fox Cabane gave in the Stanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Lecture Series. The question would be whether we can use these learning points to build an Infosec charisma.
- Charisma is an asset.
- Charisma let people trust you, like you and want to be led by you.
- Charisma is the result of specific behaviours.
- Behaviours that define charisma: behaviours of presence, power and warmth.
- Presence is the core of charisma.
- Charismatic people make you think that they are present, with you, fully with you.
- People can read facial expressions in 17 milliseconds. So, when you are not fully into what they are telling you, they will instantly notice. Your presence will diminish, appearing inauthentic.
- How to avoid it? One technique, focus on the physical sensation of your toes (yes, your toes!).
- Second technique. focus on the myriad of colours that your interlocutor's eyes have (but don't overdo it!).
- Charisma is how you make people feel about themselves.
- Let them impress you and they will love you for it.
- We look for power signs in body language.
- Voice fluctuation and pitching skills are key,
- Powerfull people claim as much physical space as possible.
- When people adopt these poses, energy boosting hormones rise.
- Learn how to play Chemistry with your own brain.
Mental side of power
- The single biggest obstacle is lack of confidence.
- How to deconstruct the "impostor's complex". Recognise those destructive thoughts (e.g. I am not able to make it!) and consider them as graffiti on the wall and do not pay much attention to them.
- Learn how to read reality.
- We have a limited capacity of attention.
- It is so closely tight to body language that you cannot fake it.
- Warmth comes mainly from your eyes and your voice.
- Don't act as if ... be that person, that character. Our brain cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality.
- Think of something really nice, open your eyes and link it with what you are doing right now.
- The area around the eyes is the most mobile area in the entire human face. Eyes will tell everyone the degree of warmth you are displaying.
- Never assume that your immediate assumption is the valid one.
- Choose a charisma-enhancing assumption. Re-write reality: Invent a story to alleviate your anger. Choose the reality that puts you in the most useful mental state. Don't control your body language, control your mind.
- What to do with conflicting interlocutors, think of three positive features you find of them (they can also be part of an invented story).
Practice tips
- Get your energy levels up.
- Improvise.
- Learn something that teaches you to own the space around you.
- Dance.
- But don't get charismatic with "the charismatic person".
Imagine applying even if it is only 10% of all this in your next meeting with customers.
Happy charismatic reading!

The honoring of the 2004 Boston Red Sox team, the guys who brought the first World Series crown to Boston in 86 years, drew some looks from reporters. Various longtime Red Sox media folks, including the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy and Boston.com's Tony Massarotti, questioned the celebration.
That 2004 club was the Red Sox team that came back when down 0-3 games in the ALCS against the New York Yankees, winning four straight in legendary fashion and then going on to easily beat the St. Louis Cardinals four games to none to take the World Series.
The team included everyday players David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Kevin Millar, Jason Varitek and Johnny Damon and pitchers Curt Schilling, Derek Lowe, Tim Wakefield and Pedro Martinez. Of course pinch runner Dave Roberts would provide one of the biggest highlights in the Yankee series when he stole second in the bottom of the ninth to set up the Boston comeback in game four and the opportunity for the Sox to win three more against New York and go to the World Series.
The Red Sox decided to honor the team the other night during the final home stand of the 2012 season. But many are wondering why? Bringing the guys back a decade later would have made more sense but having a celebration after eight years made many people wonder what was up.
Was it an attempt to ensure yet another sellout at the ballpark? Maybe that was the case. Or perhaps the Red Sox brass wanted to give the fans a chance to celebrate something in a season where there was very little to cheer about. The Red Sox are about to finish their worst season in about half a century so focusing on the team that brought glory and pride back to Red Sox Nation makes sense.
Also, Fenway is 100 years old this season and recognizing one of Boston's most beloved group of guys appears to be appropriate. They were dubbed the "idiots" by Millar and they proved to be an amazing mix of players who simply weren't bright enough to know when they were beaten.
Today, Ortiz, who hammered some pretty important playoff homers and doubles in the 2004 postseason, was quoted in a local blog. He said that seeing those players again made him think about what it took to be a winner.
Ortiz noted, "I kind of realized what type of personality you have to put together to try to win a World Series when I was looking around at all of my ex-teammates and guys that I played with. I got some short and quick highlights from the things they used to do to get ready to play the game and what they used to do when we were on the field."
Good news is that Big Papi is thinking constructively about how to put together another championship team. If the 2004 Boston Red Sox championship team celebration does the same thing for the front office, then I'm glad that they did it. It may have been the best thing the organization has done all season. Ortiz is inspired. That can be huge next season.

This morning Harman Kardon unveiled a new line of over-the-ear and in-ear headphones with inline remotes and mics designed for use with the iPhone and iPods. In fact, the headphones are not only functionally compatible, but with gently curved boxy designs and aluminum finishes, they're aesthetically compatible too.
The standouts include the AE or 'Acoustic Excellence' in-ear model with 9mm drivers that work in conjunction with the headphones' metal housing for increased low-end bass performance. It's available now from Apple's online and brick and mortar stores for $150, and includes a series of both foam and silicone sleeves depending on how much noise isolation you're after.
And if it's an over-the-ear design you prefer, without having to deal with a tangle of wires, Harman Kardon's BT headphones offer a Bluetooth connection to your iPhone or iPod Touch and complete control over your music using a set of playback buttons on the outside of one of the ear cups. Battery life is rated at an impressive 12 hours on a single charge from an included USB cable, but users have the option of switching to a headphone cable for wired playback when the headphones are completely drained. The BTs are also available now from Apple, but with a slightly steeper $250 price tag.

FSDR .. K housings are intended for grease lubrication. The lubricant should be selected based on the operating conditions of the bearings. For additional information, refer to Lubricant selection.
Initial grease fill
If no other requirements exist, the free space in the bearing as well as the gaps of the labyrinth seals should be completely filled with grease. The seal counterfaces should be thoroughly greased. No extra grease is required for the housing.
During start up, additional grease (typically 20 to 60 kg, depending on bearing size) should be added to the bearing over a 30-minute period via the annular groove and relubrication holes in the bearing outer ring.
Detailed information about the initial grease fill is provided in the mounting instructions, which are available on request.
The spherical roller bearings used in FSDR .. K housings can be relubricated via two drilled and tapped G 3/8 holes in the housing base (fig. 1). SKF recommends using an automatic lubrication system like the SKF MultiLube pumping unit.
Relubrication instructions (which form part of the mounting instructions for the housings) are available on request.
Relubricating the seals
FSDR .. K housings with one V-ring per side have two drilled and tapped G 1/8 holes in the cover on each side of the housing. Grease introduced in either of the holes will relubricate both the V-ring and the labyrinth seal. Choose the hole that is most convenient (fig. 2).
FSDR .. K housings size 49/1320 with two V-rings per side have three drilled and tapped holes in the cover on each side of the housing. The hole that supplies grease to the space between the two V-rings has two alternative grease inlets (both G 3/8). Choose the one that is most convenient (fig. 3). The single hole (G 1/8) supplies lubricant to the labyrinth seal (fig. 4).
Used grease should be replaced with fresh grease on a regular basis, typically every two to three years. Grease samples should be drawn and analyzed, and the interval adjusted accordiningly. To simplify the renewal process, the covers and labyrinth rings are split and can be removed without removing the cap.

I'll be posting in the coming weeks a few samples of geometry that is easy to create in other 3d software, but extremely difficult, if not impossible to do in Revit. These posts are not intended to bash Revit, but to discuss workarounds and discover new possibilities.
First example: the glazed roof of Britisch Museum in London done by Foster and Partners.
In Autocad (see attachment) or rhino, you can create this roof by lofting 3 profiles. Doing the same procedure in Revit will end up in an error. So you will need to move the inner profile above the second profile before moving the inner profile back to its original position. However, even so, you get an undesirable shape (see attachment).
Anyone knows how to do this in 2 minutes?
here is a pdf link to the roof structure http://opus.bath.ac.uk/14111/1/ChrisDeakin2001.pdf

Fear Spikes On Today's Market Decline
The news today that mortage lender AHM could not meet its margin calls and may have to liquidate weighed heavily on the financial markets.
The early strength we saw this morning quickly subsided, and the markets staged large reversals. This news may not have had the same magnitude when the markets were at their highs, but when the market is in a correction, this type of news always spooks investors.
But is important to remember that we have seen a 6-8% selloff in each of the last 4 years. Currently, the S&P 500 is down -6% from its highs. In each of those prior selloffs, the market went on to recover and make new highs. I don't think this time will be any different.
In each of those selloffs, the fear indicators we follow showed dramatic spikes higher. From a contrarian perspective, this is good as it helps the market bottom. Today, we saw many of these indicators spike again. To wit:
- The volatility indexes spiked +13%, above March levels
- The ARMS Index surged to 2.50
- The CBOE put/call ratio hit 1.26, a very high level
- The ISEE fell to 105
The S&P 500 is also extremely oversold, though it remains above its long-term 200-day moving average. So while it is difficult to pinpoint exact bottoms, my game plan has not changed as a result of today.
I still think it is likely that the market will bounce from these oversold levels. After a bounce, it will likely have some sort of retest of the lows, and from there a more solid bottom will be in place and the market will go on to make new highs. Valuations are still very reasonable, the job market is strong, and the global economy is solid.

Delisoft FAQ
Are your products gluten-free?
We do not use any wheat, rye, or barley in our production process. However, our factory is not certified as gluten-free so some marinades and sauces may contain trace amounts of wheat.
What is the shelf-life of Delisoft meals?
The total shelf-life of our food is 50 days from the day of manufacture. We guarantee a min. shelf-life of 14 days from the day of delivery.
Why do we sell frozen meals instead of hot food?
1. Freshness
Contrary to popular belief, frozen food is superior in terms of freshness. Food that has been freshly cooked but not consumed will degrade quickly. The colour starts to change, moisture seeps out, and nutrients are lost. However, if the food is frozen quickly after cooking, the freshness and quality of the food is locked in.
At Health Food Matters, we use a special method of freezing to achieve this. The intricate balance of time and temperature is crucial to retain the delicate texture of our food.
2. Safety
Hot food that is exposed to the environment runs a risk of contamination. This risk increases during the delivery process. By freezing, we prevent the growth of harmful organisms. In addition, our food is hermetically sealed so that the contents are always protected, right up to the point that you peel it open.
3. Convenience
Your loved ones might not have a predictable appetite or a fixed meal schedule due to illness or poor sleep. Therefore, cooking is a challenge because it requires a lot of preparation. What happens then, is that your loved one will have to eat according to your cooking schedule instead of the schedule dictated naturally by his body clock. This often results in frustration for both parties and also high food wastage if your loved one is not hungry.
With Delisoft, your delicious meal is already waiting in the freezer and can be served in just a few minutes, whenever your loved one feels hungry.
What if I don't want to eat the whole portion?
Sometimes, you may wish to let your loved one sample small portions of different items instead of one full portion. To do so, simply thaw the food in the fridge for 24 hours. Then scoop out only the amount that you wish to eat and heat them up. Keep the remaining portions inside the fridge for up to 3 days and enjoy them whenever you wish.
How spicy are your spicy dishes?
Spices are essential to most Southeast Asian diets and many of our seniors find the spices very comforting. However, we recognise that young children and the elderly may have weaker stomachs so we have carefully balanced the level of spice in our dishes. This way, everyone can enjoy their meals without tummy aches.
Are your products suitable for people of all ages?
Definitely! Our customers include people of all ages and very often, caregivers purchase our products for the whole family so that everyone can enjoy a nutritionally-balanced meal without needing to cook everyday.
Is Delisoft suitable individuals with diabetes?
Even though we do not label our products as "diabetic meals", the ingredients used in Delisoft are naturally low in sugar. We strive to provide you with healthy and nutritious foods which are meticulously designed by our chef, dietitian, and food technologist. At the end of the day, a well-balanced diet comprising different nutrients is the most important.
Are your products Halal?
We are in the process of applying for Halal certification. In the meantime, please rest assured that our factory uses Halal processes and Halal ingredients.
Payment and Shipping
What payment options do you offer?
We accept credit/debit card payments. You do not need a Paypal account for this.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs a flat rate of $7 regardless of how much you purchase. Alternatively, you may wish to collect your package from our showroom. There will be no delivery charge for self-collection. We are located at:
16 Woodlands Terrace, Singapore 738441.
Tel: +65-62502129
How many days will it take for my order to reach me?
Delivery within Singapore takes 3 working days. Our delivery team will arrive either between 10:00-12:00 or 14:00-16:00. We will call you 1 to 2 days beforehand to arrange your preferred delivery day.
For self-collection, your package will be ready for collection within 2 working days.
Are there discounts if I purchase regularly?
We offer discount codes from time to time so do subscribe to our mailing list and be the first to know when there's a good deal coming up!

What I can't say to my future mother in law...
I have a "difficult" last name. It's long, has an interesting accent mark, and doesn't really flow smoothly off the tongue of a speakers of English only. As a family, we've Americanized it slightly.
An uncle changed the spelling, but most of us under 45 just pronounce it without the flourishes. Not that it helps. I, for my part, usually don't use my mom's last name and only use the 2nd part of mine.
People who have never seen a last name like it end up mangling it, it takes me 2 minutes to teach it to them and then they look put out.
Occasionally I get someone who tries to pronounce it, only to insist that I'm pronouncing it incorrectly and the Spanish way they're pronouncing it is right. I correct them, they say it wrong again, I correct them and we have a stand off until they pronounce it to my liking.
My real last name comes from the belly and the back of the mouth—my Americanized last name starts from the back of the mouth but then ends up on tip of your tongue.
To me, it's the difference between biting down on a still hot from the oil, hot sauce caked piece of torresmo and having some pre-cooked bacon by yourself while standing over a sink. It'll do in a pinch, but you're hungry for more.
Today, my kids found out I was getting married—apparently some of them suspected and didn't "wanna be all up in" my business. But, now that they know, they had no qualms jumping in with invasive questions:
How'd he propose?
When is it?
Who's going?
I've never been to an American wedding, can I come?
I have no cousins so never got to be a flower girl. I know I'm old, but look cute in a dress!
And then the one they probably felt would most impact their lives:
Will you change your name?
When I was a kid, I was convince I'd marry a guy with a kick ass name that would soon be mine. On my list were Falcão (falcon), Tubarão (shark and I don't think anyone is actually named this), and Miranda.
Better than mine, but still reflecting of my ethnicity. My serious boyfriends before the fiance didn't have the same ethnicity as me, but that was okay. Their names were distinct and out of the mainstream so I doubt anyone would have seen Jinxie _______ and been like "Oh, pardon, we were expecting...uh..."
My last name is the last name that was the only thing my great-grandpa had when he joined a whaling crew.
My last name was the only way my granddad could find his jackass dad who left him to take care of his mother and 5 siblings when he joined a whaling crew, moved to the US, and started a new family.
My last name is what gives my aunt her anger and the fact that everyone in the community knows not to cross her.
My last name is the best gift I could have ever gotten.
My fiance's name isn't like that. It's a very nice, very bland name that erases who I am. I'm light skinned, my eyes are hazel, and as much as I wished when I was a kid, I don't have afro-puffs.
Unless people stare directly at my nose and listen to me say things like "close the light", they assume I'm just tan, not the second generation of immigrants and certainly not a person of color.
I'm sure my last name has made my life a little more...interesting. People frequently assume I'm the Spanish teacher, eyes narrow and voices get louder like I don't speak English, and there's always the shit you over hear and have to confront when people assume you're white.
But that's me. That's who I am. And that's why I'll proudly remain with the name I was born with.
