Gun Reports - News
NRA Says Magazine Ran Fast & Furious Disinformation Piece
July 2, 2012Printer Friendly | Email |
(GunReports.com) In support of Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. and his congressional allies this week was an obviously coordinated media campaign, aimed at rewriting the history of "Fast and Furious" and smearing the whistleblowing BATFE agents who alerted Congress to the scandal, the NRA-ILA reports.
In an article published the day before the vote and written by a former Bill Clinton campaign operative, Fortune magazine claimed that virtually everything we know about this disaster--after more than a year of investigations by House and Senate committees and by every media outlet in the country that's dared to touch the issue--is false. Tellingly, many of Fortune's sources were agents "speaking out for the first time." (Another BATFE official, who had not previously spoken to the media, gave an interview that appeared in the Washington Post the day of the vote.)
In its piece, Fortune claimed:
That Agent John Dodson and other whistleblowers who brought the operation to light were actually rogue agents who jeopardized their careers at the BATFE just to settle scores over petty disputes with a supervisor--who happens to be Fortune's main source and the "hero" of the article.
That Agent Dodson had actually (in a separate and much smaller case) advocated using the same tactics he risked his career to denounce in "Fast and Furious." What's more believable: Fortune's version, or Agent Dodson's explanation that he proposed the tactic on orders of his supervisor, who was also in charge of "Fast and Furious"?
That gun prosecutions were thwarted by a pro-gun federal prosecutor, even though that prosecutor worked for U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, who had a long record of anti-gun activity on Capitol Hill and in the Clinton White House.
Most outrageously, if these allegations are true, the Justice Department itself falsely admitted that "gunwalking" tactics were used--for example, when Attorney General Holder acknowledged that in his Nov. 8, 2011 testimony--even though the embarrassing admission deepened the congressional investigation.
And if the Justice Department was wrong to rescind the Feb. 2011 letter denying that "gunwalking" occurred," the subpoenaed documents concerning that letter should show that. If the documents might exonerate the administration, why are the White House and Justice Department fighting so hard against releasing them?
Fortune also repeats a string of lies about the larger context of "Fast and Furious":
That the real problem is weak gun laws, including the lack of "a real-time database of gun sales"--in other words, national gun registration. It should be no surprise that Fortune points to that, when there are already at least three emails proving that the BATFE wanted to use information from "Fast and Furious" to support its border-state registration scheme for multiple rifle sales.
-hat it's "nearly impossible" to bring cases against straw purchasers--even though the BATFE website contains dozens of press releases announcing the arrest, conviction and sentencing of straw purchasers. That straw purchasing penalties are "minimal."
Here are the penalties Fortune calls "minimal": Any statement to a licensed dealer that is "intended or likely" to deceive the dealer about the legality of a sale is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
"Knowingly making any false statement" in a dealer's records--such as falsely claiming on a transfer form that you are the actual buyer--is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
That "2,000 weapons are smuggled daily from the U.S. into Mexico." There is no credible source for this figure. If it were true, smuggling to Mexico would account for 730,000 guns a year--nearly a tenth of the guns produced in the U.S. or imported here every year. That's obviously impossible.
Another recurring claim this week was that "gunwalking" began under the Bush administration. In reality, there is no parallel between "Fast and Furious" and earlier operations such as "Wide Receiver." Specifically:
In "Wide Receiver," the Mexican government was informed and involved, and was supposed to interdict the guns as they were tracked into Mexico. In "Fast & Furious," the Mexican government was never informed and was never called on to interdict any of the guns.
The guns lost in the "Wide Receiver" program were lost primarily by the Mexican authorities, or due to the failure of electronic tracking devices. In "Fast & Furious," agents were specifically ordered to end surveillance.
Wide Receiver" was shut down when BATFE officials learned of the lost guns. It took the death of Brian Terry to shut down "Fast & Furious."
Wide Receiver" involved a few hundred guns, most of which were recovered. The program nevertheless was considered a failure by BATFE officials and was terminated for that reason. "Fast & Furious" involved thousands of guns, the bulk of which are still at large.
The ties between the mainstream media outlets, including TV, newspapers, and periodicals, to the agenda of the leftists, are becoming more and more obvious. The truth concerning almost any topic is becoming increasingly scarce and difficult to find. In my youth, one could reliably accept what was broadcast on radio or TV as being essentially truthful. The same is true of the written journalism of newspapers and magazines. Now, it seems that virtually every outlet of so-called "news" must be suspect due to whatever its motives might be for publishing or broadcasting whatever is released. It's getting to be damned difficult to know things. While the journalistic trades so jealously guard their First Amendment rights, it seems that the "people's right to know" is open to question as to just what media think the people ought to know. Can anyone say "1984". I don't see much differance between Fast and Furious and Wide Receiver. Because the government of Mexico knew about it is supposed to make a differance? That's kind of like letting the Afghani warlords go after Bin Laden when they had him cornered. All were bad choices and heads should be rolling. Lies surrounding Fast & Furious? No! Who-da thunk it. Remember that gun-runner Holder had pardoned under Clinton? Maybe Holder is a gun-runner? Guess we are going to need to tune in Al Jazerra, Radio Moscow or the BBC Worldwide if we want to get the real news. In the long-gone days before TV and radio, most towns of any size had at least two newspapers. One was usually Republican leaning and the other Democrat. But, despite party affiliation you could usually get the truth from either one. Albeit the truth on any given issue may have been emphasized or de-emphasized depending on biases. Radio and TV later took over from the papers with the same caveat. TV news was a separate department in a network and truth and fact checking were gospel. Now it seems like any major media is becoming just as reliable as what is spewed out on the internet. None of them seem to care about facts or truth, particularly if those interfere with their preexisting beliefs. Disgusting. Pravda is now probably more accurate. Once the news networks (TV) were forced to show a profit, that was THE END FOLKS. ajwrangler - apparently you didnt read the entire article if you are still having to question the differences between Operation Wide Receiver and Fast and Furious. 1)No one was killed under Operation Wide Receiver. 2)The Mexican goverment was informed and included. Under Fast and Furious not only were they NOT included. but once the guns made it to Mexico, they were not informed. Both of those programs were just pure horseshit. If you want to know who heads the cartels and who is buying the guns, all you have to do is bribe one of the Mexican government officials OR, ask any Mexican on the street. They ALL know who they are. And if the NSA and CIA don't know, from their intel techniques, then they too should be abolished. Well stated, Cecil. The one thing that just glares at us, to the extent that it is almost beyond comprehension, is the disgusting revelation that an agency of the US government whose mission, purpose, and objectives are to enforce laws to prevent the very thing that the said agency willfully perpetrated. When the law enforcers willfully break the laws that they are sworn to enforce, we're in some big trouble. Also, the excuse given, that BATFE wanted to trace the weapons to find out where they went is patently stupid on its face. How the hell are weapons supposed to be traced when they are given to criminals to use in illegal activities that the criminals deliberately try to keep secret. About the only way I can see that working is if one already knows who the criminals are. Since BATFE already knew the identities of the criminals, what conceivable benefit did they expect to gain from the illegal activity in which they so readily participated? This whole idea is so ludicrous.....that we are being asked to believe that the weapons were given to the criminals in order to find the criminals, that it becomes abundantly apparent that the whole original intent of Fast & Furious, along with Wide Receiver, was to discredit the Second Amendment rights of Americans, so that more draconian laws might be palatable to the American people. The smoke that the government is blowing up my ass is starting to come out my ears. I know I am not very PC but I just call it the way I see it and not very eloquently. playhookie - there's a big difference between the two. At a minimum, during WR, they quit when it did not produce results. Further, they never lied about what happened nor stonewalled congress. To my knowledge, agents never directed FFL's to allow sales to "prohibited persons" during WR. AJW - long time no "see"... Nice to see y'all again! Danny29az - FYI, the author of a post is below the text... As for journalism, I was discussing this with an attorney buddy after he sent me a link to the referenced article. He had heard of F&F, but wasn't really in the loop. I informed him of some of the details left out of the article that should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about legally buying and selling guns. He was debating the points with me (he is an attorney after all), so I reminded him of our running dialogue on the lack of intestinal fortitude and integrity in the media. As Visigoth and Canovack said, we have to question the motives of the broadcasters each and every time we obtain news. Remember the video of Holder telling a women's group we need to brainwash our children that guns are evil? Well, Eric Doucher isn't the only one in power who believes we can all be brainwashed. That's why we are bombarded with sound bites and never get the full story. Soon enough, we'll all believe the big lie because that's all we've ever heard. Combined with who owns "the media" and their political bent (I know, duh), that's why we are getting sound bites, and nothing else... Honestly, I'm still not convinced the whole F&F motive was to create anti-gun data; I really think there was some other agenda that "we" haven't stumbled onto yet; nor will we without real journalists. Y'all know the Sinola cartel head's kid was born in an LA hospital, right? I did not know that PVB but I am not at all surprised. Hell, he is probably already on the government tit. Since the Nixon ordeal, media sides have been carefully picked by each administration. We get all the news the administration sees fit to print or publicize. However, the information highway is drastically improved since the vote on Nixon's impeachment. We now have biased watchdogs on both sides so that we can read both sides and MAYBE find a little truth within 2 minutes of the occurence. I like to believe that there are still a few honest reporters out there. I may end up like Diogenes........... I don't think it is the reporters as much as the management of the stations. A couple of days ago, here in San Antonio, there was a 2 minute blurb on the local news concerning the "fracking" going on south of the city. Seems that the oil companies are dumping the toxic chemical they use to frack, down an old water well, which is located right over two of the underground aquifers that supplies water to most of the surrounding areas. No follow up. And what really amazes me is that there is no public outcry. Nice to have jobs but not at the expense of polluting out drinking water. Zombie Day is just around the corner. Danny29az, I beleive the comment made by playinghookie and my post were merged by accident. The only comment I made refered to the book/movie 1984. Specifically, the way the "government" rewrote the newspapers/history based upon the current wishes of the ruling class. There are huge differences between F&F and WR, as indicated by others. All of which I am aware. I'm sure there are plenty of cons to the pros of fracking, though I'd never heard the problem with chemical contamination. (There are a lot of stories coming out of the Poconos about the ills of the process.) This illustrates further that the media does not provide information for us to all come to our own conclusions, they simply feed us the bullet points we need to heartily jump on their bosses bandwagon. alwrangler, I read the article and am not convinced. I worked in the oil industry for 20 years and know them to be liars and thieves. The article provided nothing more that a well written essay saying, "it ain't so". Dishwashing soap? I am betting no. In fact, the fracking fluid is a trade secret and they even refused to divulge it's exact make up to the state of Texas when inquired. I know it won't stop, I know it creates jobs, I know it produces a product that we all need but 30 years from now, after I am dead and gone, people are going to say, "what the hell were we thinking?". We were thinking money, money, money Cecil. The big companies ply our fears (employment in this case) to get us to see the bright side. It's the same strategy the big box stores use to get us in the door - save money, and lots of it! The next thing you know, we can't live without MaoMart, no matter how poorly they treat their employees or how destructive they are to the economy as a whole. Greed... Gluttony... CecilB. Thanks for the info. Having never been in the oil industry, unfortunately, I have to "rely" on the information I am able to obtain from news outlets. I gave up on the LSM years ago but for the most part I have found CFP to be a viable outlet for factual information. Don't get me wrong. I am not contesting your comment about teh honesty of the oil companies because as PVB says, it is all about the money. I will most assuredly have to do a bit more research on the issue to become more knowledgeable on the subject. Again, thanks for the input. ajwrangler. I was certainly not offended and I too could be wrong about fracking but I was forced to do a lot of sleezy things when I was hauling oil and witnessed a lot more, so I am just not convinced. The oil industry spends a lot of money on PR so just be skeptical. Have a great day. CwcilB. Right back at ya. You have a great day as well. SPAM.....SPAM.....SPAM!!!

Cistus (from the Greek "Kistos") is a genus of flowering plants in the rockrose family Cistaceae, containing about 20 species (Ellul et al. 2002). They are perennial shrubs found on dry or rocky soils throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal through to the Middle East, and also on the Canary Islands. The leaves are evergreen, opposite, simple, usually slightly rough-surfaced, 2–8 cm long; in a few species (notably C. ladanifer), the leaves are coated with a highly aromatic resin called labdanum. They have showy 5-petaled flowers ranging from white to purple and dark pink, in a few species with a conspicuous dark red spot at the base of each petal., and together with its many hybrids and cultivars is commonly encountered as a garden flower.
The common name rockrose is applied to the species, a name also shared by the related genera Halimium, Helianthemum and Tuberaria, all in the family Cistaceae.
Contents |
Species [edit]
There are about 20 species in the genus:
Ecology [edit]
They are thermophilous plants, which require open, sunny places. This plant genus is peculiar in that it has developed a range of specific adaptations to resist summer drought and frequent disturbance events, such as fire and grazing. In addition, it can form both ectomycorrhizas and arbuscular mycorrhizas. More than 200 ectomycorrhiza-forming fungal species belonging to 40 genera have been reported so far to be associated with Cistus.[1] As with many other Cistaceae, the species of Cistus have the ability to form mycorrhizal associations with truffles (Tuber) and are thus able to thrive on poor sandy soils or rocks. Cistus ladanifer has been found to have mycorrhizal associations with Boletus edulis, Boletus rhodoxanthus, and Laccaria laccata.[2]
Cistus are the only host of Cytinus hypocistis, a small parasitic plant that lives on the roots and is noticeable only for a short period of time when in flower. The presence of the parasite does not seem to hurt the host population.
Cistus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora confluella and Coleophora helianthemella, the latter recorded on Cistus monspeliensis.
Systematics [edit]
Cistus and Halimium form a cohesive and the most derived clade within Cistaceae.[3] Phylogenetic analyses delineated two major lineages within Cistus, a purple-flowered clade and a white-flowered clade, excepting Cistus parviflorus.[4] Further analysis of morphological characters show that C. parviflorus has the purple flowers of the purple-flowered clade, but the sessile stigmas of the white-flowered clade, indicating a potential instance of speciation via hybridization.
The white-flowered Cistus lineage was further found to consist of two groups with asymmetric characteristics, which together with ecological evidence, supports the theory of adaptive radiation within this lineage.[5]
Uses [edit]
In popular medicine, infusions of cistuses are used to treat diarrhea.
Cultivation [edit]
Cistuses are among the defining plants of sunny gardens with a nearly frost-free Mediterranean climate. The hardiest of the species is C. laurifolius, which survived the hard frost at Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew in 1895 that eliminated all the cistuses save this and two white-flowered natural hybrids, C. × corbariensis, already grown by John Tradescant the Elder, and C. × loretii, a 19th-century introduction.[6]
Cultivars (those marked agm have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit) include:
- C. × aguilarii 'Maculatus'agm[7]
- C. × argenteus 'Peggy Sammons'agm[8] - pink flowers, grey-green leaves[9]
- C. × cyprius agm[10]
- C. × cyprius var. ellipticus 'Elma'agm[11]
- C. × dansereaui - prostrate form of this hybrid is often cultivated
- C. × dansereaui 'Decumbens'agm[12]
- C. × florentinus - white flowers
- C. × hybridus - pink buds, white flowers
- C. × lenis 'Grayswood Pink'agm[13]
- C. × pulverulentus 'Sunset'agm[14]
- C. × purpureus agm[15] - pink petals with dark blotches near centre[9]
- C. × skanbergii agm[16] - small pink flowers
- 'Paladin' - large white flowers, dark green leaves
- 'Snow Fire'agm[17]

Montpellier, July 14, 1826.
I have received, Sir, your letter of the 6th. inst. requesting such information as I may be able to give as to the origin of the document, a copy of which was inclosed in it. The motive and manner of the request would entitle it to respect if less easily complied with than by the following statement.
During the session of the General Assembly 1784-5 a bill was introduced into the House of Delegates providing for the legal support of Teachers of the Christian Religion, and being patronized by the most popular talents in the House, seemed likely to obtain a majority of votes. In order to arrest its progress it was insisted with success that the bill should be postponed till the evening session, and in the meantime be printed for public consideration. That the sense of the people might be the better called forth, your highly distinguished ancestor Col. Geo. Mason, Col. Geo. Nicholas also possessing much public weight and some others thought it advisable that a remonstrance against the bill should be prepared for general circulation and signature and imposed on me the task of drawing up such a paper. The draught having received their sanction, a large number of printed copies were distributed, and so extensively signed by the people of every religious denomination that at the ensuing session the projected measure was entirely frustrated; and under the influence of the public sentiment thus manifested the celebrated bill "Establishing Religious Freedom" enacted into a permanent barrier against Future attempts on the rights of conscience as declared in the Great Charter prefixed to the Constitution of the State. Be pleased to accept my friendly respects.
[1 ]Copy of the original in the Virginia Historical Society. The enclosure was a copy of the Memorial and Remonstrance against religious assessments. See ante, Vol. II., p. 183.

- Couple of days ago, my father bought my kid this toy for his 4th year birthday. After I took the item from the box, I thought it was an average toy for a little kid. I was surprised once my son played it. The toilet toy could shoot water like a water gun set. My son loved it too and I thought that was one of his best present on his age

Garden soils need organic matter to hold moisture, slowly release nutrients, add to soil tilth so roots can be cozy and get at soil particles... There are lots of horse stables and pastures where I live in N. Central Florida, as well as high temperatures which lead to fast decomposition of organic matter in these sandy well-drained soils, so my garden needs a healthy - pow! - shot of nutritious organic matter every fall.
Horse farmers have huge piles of free horse manure, urine and straw that get cleaned out of stables that can get them in trouble with the department of environmental protection because of the nitrogen that can leach out and go to creeks and streams in heavy rains. USDA or state agents go on visits to farms to see how their poop piles are doing, and the smaller they are the better.
This instructable tells you how to
1. find free fresh horse manure
2. get it to your house
3. add it to your soil as a mulch, or as a soil amendment for future plants.
You will need:
1. station wagon OR pickup truck with some big tarps
2. a few shovels
3. a hearty friend who likes poop
4. recycle bins or wheelbarrow
Found this here about why organic matter in soil is great:
• Improves tilth, condition, and structure of soil, providing better aeration and temperatures.
• Supports living soil-organisms.
• Improves ability of soil to hold water and nutrients.
• Helps dissolve mineral form of nutrients.
• Buffers soil from chemical imbalances.
• Maintains a steady supply of plant nutrients.
• Helps recycle organic wastes, thus keeping them out of landfills and waterways.
• Replaces manufactured nitrogen which requires energy to create in a factory and ship around.
Step 1: Find a Horse Boarding Stable
The best bet is to find a horse boarding stable, as they have lots of horse owners coming in and out... call or drive up and ask if they have some manure they'd like to get rid of. You'd be willing to remove their waste problems for free. If you're lucky, you'll find some composted manure. (Some pay to have it hauled to a landfill, or spend energy and tractor time composting it.)
A 1000-lb horse creates 50 lbs of poop and pee per day!
25 pounds in a 5-gallon bucket is more than anyone can carry. If I'm collecting small amounts, I line a 5-gallon bucket with a 9-gallon trash bag and fill it 1/3 of the way into the bucket. Then I tie off that bag and reline the bucket.
The broadleaf herbicides to be careful of are picloram and clopyralid. You'll have to ask the stable owner if any of his hay was tainted with those. Usually they are used on coastal bermuda grass hay. Then are NEVER used on alfalfa hay (they would kill the alfalfa). Those two chemicals survive the horse digestive system and they survive the hot composting process. They will kill any broadleaf plants with roots in your area including trees with roots spreading out long distances. They are persistent meaning they last for years. Ask the stable owner about the hay he uses.
You can tell whether composted horse manure is ready to use by the smell. It should smell like very nice soil when it is ready. Any composted manure that smells fresh (like a forest floor after a rainstorm) is ready to use in the garden. Any that still smells like manure, ammonia, rotten eggs, stale milk, or is moldy smelling should be composted until it smells fresh. For horse manure that process takes about a year. It is very easy to tell when you have a shovel. If it smells bad that is the smell of nutrients escaping into the air. The ammonia smell means you are losing nitrogen. Rotten eggs means you're losing carbohydrates. All you have to do to save the nutrients is to cover the pile with finished compost or with dried leaves. Those materials absorb the nutrients and prevent them from escaping. Then the nutrients are recaptured in the decomposition process (composting).
Nice work on the I'ble. Thanks!
- careful on flowers. horse manure has too much amonia which is not good for flowers
- horse manure that is laying for about a year it has no good properties. basically it becomes just a powder
- in most horse manure you can find big white larvas. thay'r OK, if you plan thin 'coat' of manure because larvas will die/ eaten by birds etc.
Helps that I know a Lama/Alpaca farmer
There is one BIG warning I'd like to add.
If the stuff hasn't been properly composted... and I mean PROPERLY,
Don't use it on food producing plant beds
Besides herbicides and pesticides that dchall8 mentioned...
There's biological baddies in that stuff.
The heat of proper composting will normally kill any parasites and weed seeds in the poo.
As a safety boost, When I use it on my tomatoes... I use an old microwave outside, and nuke the poo piles for a few min on high. That way I know everything but the cockroaches are dead. Can't be too safe for my tastes. Then again, tomatoes only require small batches. Larger batches of poo may also be baked in an outdoor oven, to the safety temperature(160F) or higher(like, if your oven goes from off to 200).
"Cooking" the manure instead of composting it... still very good for soil high in clay, and low in organics. BUT, fixed nitrogen will be lower, due to ammonia evaporation during the cooking process(also smellier). So, if you're already low on nitrogen in soil chemistry, consider a few plantings of nitrogen fixers. I like a season of Soy, every 3 years. Makes for some tasty home-made tofu, or just steamed and salted edamame.

History interrupted
During one controversy in 1959, after Queen Humaira and Princess Begum appeared in public with their faces uncovered – Ansary compares this to "the first lady attending the President's State of the Union speech topless" – Prime Minister Daoud invited the country's religious scholars to Kabul for a meeting. He wanted to do as they wished, he assured them, and follow the Sharia to the letter. He just couldn't find the passage in the Koran that said a woman's face must be covered in public. "They came," writes Ansary. "They brought their books. They pored through them, fulminating and fuming. In the end they could not offer any indisputable scriptural support for the veiling practices traditional to Afghan society."
These stories are heartbreaking because you know what didn't happen next.
Dress codes
On one of the few occasions when he writes about his own experiences, he describes watching news coverage of Iran in 1978, just before the revolution. Women were shown wearing sombre dresses, long sleeves, black stockings and white headscarves. Ansary's American friends "clucked" at the oppression. "I could not help remembering how," he writes, "in Afghanistan, less than 20 years earlier, women who had dressed that way in public were making a shocking revolutionary gesture of feminist emancipation."
These stories are important for anyone who still thinks that the Taliban are the only Afghans who want to keep women locked up and silent.
There are many such stories within the first 200 pages of this book, and I often felt that I was in the hands of a writer on a par with Peter Hopkirk or Barbara Tuchmann. I can't think of another book that reveals as much about Afghanistan's history while remaining such a pleasure to read.
Sadly that pleasure faded when I got to the 1980s, the Russian occupation, the mujahideen period and the rise of the Taliban. I was frustrated because, apart from a few passages – one a memorable account of life in Kabul when the mujahideen fractured, and started shelling each other indiscriminately, as told by Ansary's own cousin, who was lucky to escape – these chapters felt like a simple catalogue of events, little different from the many I have read elsewhere. I was longing to know more about what this period was like for innocent Afghans trapped in the middle. I certainly didn't need to read about Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and the scandal-ridden President Clinton, just because the bombing of suspected al-Qaeda camps in Khost province, Afghanistan, in 1988 may have been a welcome distraction from all the bad headlines about a stained dress.
This is perhaps a criticism not of Ansary or his book but of his publisher's description of it. "Games Without Rules tells this story from the inside looking out" is the promise on the dust cover, which left me expecting more than I got.
To be fair, Ansary never overplays his link to his country of birth and is honest enough to reveal, in the book's closing pages, that he didn't return until 2002, and then again in 2012. (When covering war, many writers are careful to leave the impression that they could have been there, witnessing the events they describe.) But he says almost nothing of either visit, which is disappointing. I suspect he did not write this book for Afghans, or dedicated Afghan watchers, who won't learn much here. I suspect he wrote it for westerners who still believe that Afghanistan has never been conquered, that it has never left the Stone Age, that the Taliban are al-Qaeda and that Afghans will always fight, first foreigners, then each other, even if there is nothing to fight about. He is very good when debunking such myths.

Cancer isn't picky.
It doesn't care about your hair color, your childhood or what type of degree you hold. It doesn't care that you don't have medical insurance or that you haven't had the chance to have children or that maybe you do have children that need you. It doesn't matter if you're single, married, sad or happy. You can have all your ducks in a row, but in a moment's time, Cancer will rearrange them. You can plan all you want. Cancer doesn't care. So you have too.
Here is my plan to make myself a place Cancer won't visit again. I have no proof it will work, only hope.
I will eat well, but I will be sure to treat myself to an ice cream cone when I want one. I will exercise, but I will also be sure to stop and smell flowers on the road that I walk. I will read all I can about prevention, but I will also read senseless fiction, for the heck of it. I will eat dark chocolate, instead of milk chocolate. I will relax and not feel guilty. I will eat veggies, but only the ones I really enjoy. And I will wash them first. I will garden, because it helps me grow. I will take the time to walk my dog, not just because it's good for us, but because we both enjoy it. I will buy a way too expensive cat, when I should be using the money to pay off a credit card, because he is worth every penny.
I will leave situations that make me uncomfortable because my life allows me no time to waste. I will let myself cry, but not for too long. I will look up at the stars, with my blanket wrapped around me on cool nights, just because I love to do that. I will leave the house a little dusty sometimes and play outside in the sun. I will laugh with all my feelings and senses, but will sit silent if it will hurt someone else.
I will not let someone else steal my strength for I need it too much. I will not be taken advantage of. I'm nice, but no longer weak. I will not be friends with mean people, or pretend to be. I will be with people who have a good core. Not with people who have pretty skin, but who are rotten on the inside. Those people are not good for me. I will kiss my pets on the nose because I need the kisses as much as they do.
I will breathe. I will wear SPF 30 in the sun, but I will go to the beach. I will not be embarrassed as easily as I may have in the past. I will be thankful for my silliness, because I have the ability to be silly. I will take second chances, because I have been given a second chance. I will live the life I have created. Not one that someone else thought was good for me. I will get a pedicure because it makes me feel pretty, not to make someone else think I'm pretty. I will not live by anyone's rules, unless I can learn something from them. I will be open to new ideas. I will not close the door on a stranger.
I will be Jenn. Not because I have to be, but because I like her. I will give myself credit when I deserve it. I will also accept criticism (I'm working on that one). I will eat all the apples I want. I will not eat all the fried food I want. I will call in sick, when I am well because I won't wait till I'm sick to take off. I will tell my Mom I love her even though I know she knows. I will smile more. I will drink more water with lemon. And I will enjoy it.
I will make myself a place that Cancer will not want to be. I will not give it an invitation. I will pray it doesn't come back and crash my party.
At the age of 24, Jenn was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Her life changed the second she heard the diagnosis. Cancer isn't picky. Jenn can tell you that.
Today she is 10 years cancer free and trying to live life as healthy as she can. But, she still wants to enjoy life. This piece is about Jenn's compromise with Cancer.
Dr. Mao discusses why a patient's culture plays an important role in treatment decisions. Read more.

Everything you need to understand or teach The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Prologue: July 1956
Readers are introduced to Stevens, an aging butler who has served Darlington Hall for about thirty years. The house has recently come under the ownership of an American man named Mr. Farraday, after belonging to Lord Darlington's family for two centuries. While Lord Darlington was a reserved English gentleman, Mr. Farraday is a carefree man who likes to banter. Because he will be away for a while, he suggests that Stevens take his car and go on a trip. Stevens agrees, reasoning that he will go see Miss Kenton (the Hall's ex-housekeeper), who has just written a letter to Stevens. Always focused on duty, Stevens hopes to recruit Miss Kenton back to Darlington Hall, where she is needed.
Day One
Stevens begins his trip, feeling uneasy as he leaves Darlington Hall behind him. As he drives, he considers what is to him a very important question: What is a great butler?... View more of the The Remains of the Day Summary

Comments about Skullcandy Titan Earbuds:
Straight out of the box these headphones did not work. The sound cuts in and out randomly. At first I thought it might be my phone acting up but I had a spare pair of 2xl skullcandy headphones in my bag so I plugged those in and they worked fine. Also, the Mic controls work very poorly. The inexpensive 2xl headphones that I purchased at a local drugstore work better than these headphones.

In this session, you'll learn exactly how to show precise user activity directly from within your Splunk, ArcSight, RSA enVision and CA UARM platform. Native dashboards can now show exactly what applications, files and URLs each user has accessed, including video replay that shows exactly what the user did on-screen.
Como generar registros de auditoria (Logs) para aplicaciones que no poseen esa capacidad por si mismas?
En esta sesión de 30 minutos, usted aprenderá:
- Como hacer para mejorar la calidad de sus registros de auditoria (Logs), agregando a estos registros, la actividad del usuario a los además de lo registrado por el sistema o bases de datos
- Que tipo de acciones que realizan los usuarios no aparecen en los registros de auditoria (Logs) hoy en día
- Donde es que los auditores buscan agujeros de seguridad a la hora de realizar sus evaluaciones
Special Webinar Series - Security Auditing Options for Linux and Solaris
You don't know what you don't know:
Why log analysis is failing today and what you can do to overcome it
Less than 1% of data breaches discovered via security logs. In this webinar we explore the reasons behind this statistic and how to overcome this reality with video recording of all user activity.
How to Generate Logs for Apps that Don't Produce Logs
Learn how to augment system and database logs with user activity logs. See the types of user actions that aren't in your logs today and where compliance auditors usually find holes in audit reports.
How to Audit Remote and 3rd Party Users
In this webinar, we highlight the security and compliance issues related to remote users, and follow that up with an overview of how to deploy a robust and secure platform to mitigate the risks.

After posting yesterday about the Tabasco video, I was sent this newsletter by my freind Andrew Dunham (author of the wonderful novel The Temporal Cartographer), and found it rather fun, and informative. Some nice spicy recipies too, including how to make your own mild spicy curry paste.
Chilli Sig Newsletter March 2011
So I like a hot curry but this dude decided to eat the Bhut Jolokia (Naga Ghost Chilli). The easy Pacific banter soon burns away…

A look at the PyPy 2.0 release
It comes down to the different use cases for this system call. In the "snapshot" case, security information must be preserved; that, in turn, means that reflink() can only be used by the owner of the file (or by a process with sufficient capabilities to get around ownership restrictions). On the other hand, those wanting to use reflink() as a fast file copy would rather see security information treated like it would be with a file copy; the user creating the reflink must have read access to the original file and ends up owning the new one.
For a while, it seemed like the reflink-as-copy use case was simply going to be left out in the cold. But then Joel Becker, the author of the reflink() patches, proposed a compromise. If the process calling reflink() had ownership or suitable privilege, the snapshot semantics would prevail. Otherwise, read access would be required and a new set of security attributes would be applied. The idea was to try to automatically do the right thing in all situations.
In the end, though, this approach didn't fly either. From Andy Lutomirski's objection:
Please search the web and marvel at the disasters caused by setuid's magical caller-dependent behavior (the sendmail bug is probably the most famous). This proposal for reflink is just asking for bugs where an attacker gets some otherwise privileged program to call reflink but to somehow lack the privileges (CAP_CHOWN, selinux rights, or whatever) to copy security attributes, thus exposing a link with the wrong permissions.
Others agreed that automagically changing behavior depending on caller privilege was not the best way to go. So Joel went back to the drawing board yet another time. On May 15, he came back with a new proposal. The reflink() API would now look like:
int reflink(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath, int preserve);
The new preserve parameter would be a set of flags allowing the caller to specify which bits of security-oriented information are to be preserved. Anticipated values are:
The API would also provide REFLINK_ATTR_NONE and REFLINK_ATTR_ALL, with the obvious semantics. Importantly, if the caller lacks the requisite credentials to preserve the requested information, the call will simply fail. There will be no magically-changing semantics depending on the caller's capabilities.
Joel also proposes some new flags to the ln command:
There were some question as to whether all the flags are necessary; perhaps all that is really needed is "preserve all" or "preserve none." But Joel feels like one might as well add the flexibility, given that the argument is being added to the API anyway, and there doesn't seem to be that much strong sentiment to the contrary. All told, the reflink() API would appear to be stabilizing toward something that everybody can agree on. It's probably late for 2.6.31, but this new system call could conceivably be ready for the 2.6.32 development cycle.

I don't know why one would extend the "ln" command however, when the semantics of all modes of operation are essentially variations on "cp". "reflink" really ought to be renamed accordingly for the same reason - from a user perspective there is no link of any kind - it is just a space and time efficient file copy.
