Jalapeno Garlic Salsa from The Depot
There's a great restaurant in Old Town Torrance called the Depot. It's an upscale, classy joint right on the edge of downtown that's celebrating its 20th anniversary. My husband and I have been a few times, as it's nearby and they have some of the best Mac & Cheese I've ever had. But all the food's amazing and the chef, Michael Shafer, can often be seen in the dining room greeting and chatting up his guests. In case you couldn't tell, I'm a huge fan.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered that Chef Shafer also gives cooking classes once a month. Well, as soon as I found out about the classes, I knew I just had to attend. I mean, the chance to learn the secrets behind some of the dishes I've enjoyed, wasn't an opportunity I was going to pass up.
I love cooking with garlic. Whenever a recipe calls for it, I usually double the dose. So, considering my obsession with garlic, I knew I had to attend Chef Shafer's garlic class. I left the class with four new recipes that all revolve around this awesome ingredient. While all four recipes are delicious, I thought I'd share the garlic salsa with you so you'll be all set for your Halloween parties this weekend. You'll also be able to ward off those evil vampires and other creepy monsters who might be ringing your doorbells.
What's great about this recipe, is that you can make it as garlicky or as spicy as you want. If you're like me and not a big fan of super spicy foods you only need to add 1 or 2 jalapenos. But if you're going to be a dragon this year for Halloween and really want to breathe fire as part of your costume, feel free to use 4 or 5. This salsa also doesn't have to be reserved for chips. I spooned it over my chicken breasts last night for a nice little zing and I'm sure it would be great on swordfish or shrimp. And there's so much of it, you'll have plenty of leftovers that chef Shafer says could last up to a month (if you can leave it in the fridge that long).
So grab your chips, dig in, and have a Happy Halloween!
Jalapeno Garlic Salsa
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 10-15 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2-4 jalapenos, chopped
- 1 whole onion, chopped
- 2 ears of corn, cut off the cob
- 4-5 tomatoes, diced
- 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Chop up all the ingredients before you start cooking because once the oil's ready, the process goes very quickly.
Warm the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and jalepenos and saute until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and saute another minute. Add the salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl mix together the cilantro and tomatoes.
Add the cooked garlic/corn mixture to the tomatoes and cilantro and mix together. Serve immediately with chips.

Are you ready for spring yet? After a really mild winter, this most recent cold snap has really brought to my attention, that I am so ready for spring. And, with some warmer weather on the horizon, the spring cleaning bug is starting to bite! Which is just one reason that I am ready to move out of the home office, and into the kitchen this week!
Welcome to the 52 Weeks of Organizing Challenge! This is Week 11 in the series! Please note that these weeks are not built on one another and you can start at any time! It's never too early or too late to begin organizing!
This week we are tackling the pots and pans! It is time, time to really take a look at which ones have been collecting dust and evaluate if you really need to keep that! Perhaps you bought a new non-stick pan, and haven't gotten rid of the old one? Now, it is time!
Take all of your pots and pans out, clean out those cabinets … you may find evidence that you have had an unwelcomed winter visitor! If so, then take care to use a good disinfectant, and you may want to give those pots and pans a good wash too!
Do you use all of those steamer inserts that came with your pots? If you are like me, it is hard to break up a "set" … but yes, time to get over that one and reclaim some of your space!
Do you have baking sheets that have baked their last cookie? I tend to keep baking sheets way past their prime, but cooking and cleaning is so much easier when I use baking sheets that don't require enormous amounts of elbow grease to clean!
And, I finally decided that I am not a pizza maker … there was a time when we had family pizza nights and it was fun, but now pizza is more of a treat for those nights that I don't have time to cook so much … and really, if I want to make pizza, I can use a rectangle baking sheet, it doesn't have to be round!
My stack to go is rather small, but it is because over time I have trained myself to get rid of old items as I get new replacements, but still a nice thing to see things go!
Since it looks like I will have extra time this week, I am going to go ahead and give the cooktop and microwave a deep clean too! Next week we will do our 4th week cleaning, and after that we stay in the kitchen to tackle all of the dreaded plastic food containers!

The Apple iPad has long been the favorite tablet among users. However, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, users now have an alternative that is equally competent when it comes to features and fluidity of usage.
There are a number of reasons, why individuals may opt for an iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Some of the pros and cons of the Apple iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab are discussed below:
- The battery life: This is one of the most important aspects of any mobile device. The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been tested and found to last for up to 7 hours of video playback on a single charge, while the iPad can give users up to ten hours of battery life. Most of us who tend to use the tablets on a professional basis, will only occasionally indulge in movie watching activities on the tablets. Thus, the life span of the battery depends on individual usage. However, one can safely say that the iPad battery will outlast the Samsung Tab on a single charge.
- The display: The iPad has a bigger display the Samsung Tab. The iPad comes with a 9.7 inch display while the Tab has a 7 inch display. Also, the iPad has better resolution at 1024 x 768 pixels as compared to the Tab that has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. The smaller size of the Samsung Tab, will however give the developers the added leverage to develop apps that will make full use of the functions and features of the Tab.
- Contract: The Samsung Tab is offered by various carriers on a contract basis just like the smartphones, and may involve monthly 3G or 4G data packages, which users may or may not use. The iPad is also offered with an AT&T contract. But users who have 3G capable iPads also have the opportunity to buy wireless access without formally entering into a contract. Thus, the Samsung Tab can be a costly proposition. The Samsung Tab may also be available in the future without any carrier contract, but without the carrier subsidy, the cost of the Tab may further increase.
- The Operating System: the iPad comes with the iOS operating system which is very user friendly and comes with a number of brilliant features. The apps that are available in the App Store are unique and incomparable. On the other hand, the Samsung Tab comes with the Android operating system, which is growing by leaps and bounds. A varied number of apps are being developed for the android OS every day. Also, unlike the App Store, most of the apps in the Android Market are free to download and are more or less similar to the apps available in App Store. It may also be noted that most of the apps in the android market have been developed for use on smartphones. The smaller size of the Tab, makes it possible for users to play games such as Angry Birds on the Samsung Tab, without any experience of pixilation of the game. On the other hand, apps such as Facebook app which have been designed for a smaller screen tend to appear grainy on the iPad.

BYOD Policy Template
Janco has announced an update to the "BYOD Policy Template – Bring-Your-Own-Device".
BYOD Policy Template Includes an electronic form for employee agreement to the terms of access and use of enterprise data with a BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – that is owned by the user.
BYOD include consumer SmartPhones and tablets which are making their way into your organization. Going mobile makes employees happier and more productive, but it's also risky. How can you say yes' to a BYOD choice and still safeguard your corporate data, shield your network from mobile threats, and maintain policy compliance?
With the advent of Bring-Your-Own-Device – BYOD and the ever increasing mandated requirements for record retention and security CIOs are challenged to manage in a complex and changing environment.
If your enterprise does not have a BYOD policy, then two types of things are happening:
- BYOD blocked and your company is losing productivity associated with an employee making use of a BYOD or your company is paying for each employees access device.
- BYOD are already accessing your corporate network, with or without your knowledge, and you are not doing anything to ensure that this is being done securely and is not in compliance with mandated federal, state, local, and industry requirements.
BYOD Policy Template meets all mandated compliance requirements
Janco, in concert with a number of world class enterprises had created a BYOD Policy Template that addresses these issues and provides solutions for the following questions:
- What are the legal implication of BYOD – What is the impact of the Stored Communication Act – Record Retention and Destruction?
- What happens to the data and audit trail on a BYOD when an employee leaves the company?
- What about a lost or stolen BYOD?
- How is the BYOD configured to receive and transmit corporate data?
- What kind of passwords are acceptable to use on a BYOD?
- What kind of encryption standards are acceptable for BYOD?
- What types of BYOD are allowed and what types are not?
- What about jail broken, rooted or compromised BYOD?
The purpose of the BYOD Policy Template is to define standards, procedures, and restrictions for end users who have specific and authorized business requirements to access enterprise data from a BYOD connected via a wireless or un-managed network outside of the company's direct control.
This applies to, but is not limited to, all BYOD and media that fit the following device classifications:
- SmartPhones
- PDAs
- USBs
- Laptop/notebook/tablet computers
- Ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC)
- Mobile/cellular phones
- Home or personal computers used to access enterprise resources
- Any mobile device capable of storing corporate data and connecting to an un-managed network
The BYOD Policy applies to any BYOD, hardware and related software, that could be used to access enterprise resources when the equipment is not approved, owned, or supplied by ENTERPRISE.
Bring-Your-Own-Device – BYOD usage increasing
A growing number of enterprise employees using BYOD – ranging from ad hoc work from home due to temporary family situations to full-time tele-work/home work arrangements. In fact, a recent survey found that 23% of enterprises (companies with 1,000 or more employees) responded that a significant portion of employees spend 20% or more of their working time working away from the office.
- More enterprises support regular telecommuting. On average, 17% of employees at North American enterprises report having employees who spend at least 20% of their work time away from their normal work desk or work from home. This compares with an average of 14% of employees at the European enterprises.
- European employers are more conservative than others about use of BYOD.
- Size doesn't play a big role in an enterprise's decision to support BYOD. At companies with between 1,000 and 4,999 employees surveyed, an average of 16% of employees telecommuter one or more days per week, compared with an average of 14% of employees at firms with between 5,000 and 19,999 employees, and an average of 18% of those working for organizations with 20,000 or more employees.
- Firms with regular telecommuters have even more frequent travelers.
BYOD Policy Template – It is 14 pages in length. It contains everything that an enterprise needs to implement a functioning and compliant mobile device and use process. Included are forms defining the mobile device environment.

IT components such as operating systems, application software, and even networks, have many vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are open to compromise or exploitation. This creates the possibility for penetration into the systems that may result in unauthorized access and a compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets.
Vulnerability tests are performed to identify vulnerabilities while penetration tests are conducted to check the following:
- The possibility of compromising the systems such that the established access control mechanisms may be defeated and unauthorized access is gained
- The systems can be shut down or overloaded with malicious data using techniques such as DoS attacks, to the point where access by legitimate users or processes may be denied
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing processes are like IT audits. Therefore, it is preferred that they are performed by third parties.
The primary purpose of vulnerability and penetration tests is to identify, evaluate, and mitigate the risks due to vulnerability exploitation.
Vulnerability assessment
Vulnerability assessment is a process in which the IT systems such as computers and networks, and software such as operating systems and application software are scanned in order to indentify the presence of known and unknown vulnerabilities.
Vulnerabilities in IT systems such as software and networks can be considered holes or errors.
These vulnerabilities are due to improper software design, insecure coding, or both. For example, buffer overflow is a vulnerability where the boundary limits for an entity such as variables and constants are not properly defined or checked. This can be compromised by supplying data which is greater than what the entity can hold. This results in a memory spill over into other areas and thereby corrupts the instructions or code that need to be processed by the microprocessor.
When a vulnerability is exploited it results in a security violation, which will result in a certain impact. A security violation may be an unauthorized access, escalation of privileges, or denial-of-service to the IT systems.
Tools are used in the process of identifying vulnerabilities. These tools are called vulnerability scanners. A vulnerability scanning tool can be a hardware-based or software application.
Generally, vulnerabilities can be classified based on the type of security error. A type is a root cause of the vulnerability.
Vulnerabilities can be classified into the following types:
Access Control Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to the lack of enforcement pertaining to users or functions that are permitted, or denied, access to an object or a resource.
Improper or no access control list or table
No privilege model
Inadequate file permissions
Improper or weak encoding
Security violation and impact:
Files, objects, or processes can be accessed directly without authenticationor routing.
Authentication Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to inadequate identification mechanisms so that a user or a process is not correctly identified.
Weak or static passwords
Improper or weak encoding, or weak algorithms
Security violation and impact:
An unauthorized, or less privileged user (for example, Guest user), or a less privileged process gains higher privileges, such as administrative or root access to the system
Boundary Condition Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to inadequate checking and validating mechanisms such that the length of the data is not checked or validated against the size of the data storage or resource.
Buffer overflow
Overwriting the original data in the memory
Security violation and impact:
Memory is overwritten with some arbitrary code so that is gains access to programs or corrupts the memory. This will ultimately crash the operating system. An unstable system due to memory corruption may be exploited to get command prompt, or shell access, by injecting an arbitrary code
Configuration Weakness Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to the improper configuration of system parameters, or leaving the default configuration settings as it is, which may not be secure.
Default security policy configuration
File and print access in Internet connection sharing
Security violation and impact:
Most of the default configuration settings of many software applications are published and are available in the public domain. For example, some applications come with standard default passwords. If they are not secured, they allow an attacker to compromise the system. Configuration weaknesses are also exploited to gain higher privileges resulting in privilege escalation impacts.
Exception Handling Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to improper setup or coding where the system fails to handle, or properly respond to, exceptional or unexpected data or conditions.
SQL Injection
Security violation and impact:
By injecting exceptional data, user credentials can be captured by an unauthorized entity
Input Validation Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to a lack of verification mechanisms to validate the input data or contents.
Directory traversal
Malformed URLs
Security violation and impact:
Due to poor input validation, access to system-privileged programs may be obtained.
Randomization Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to a mismatch in random data or random data for the process. Specifically, these vulnerabilities are predominantly related to encryption algorithms.
Weak encryption key
Insufficient random data
Security violation and impact:
Cryptographic key can be compromised which will impact the data and access security.
Resource Vulnerabilities
It is an error due to a lack of resources availability for correct operations or processes.
Memory getting full
CPU is completely utilized
Security violation and impact:
Due to the lack of resources the system becomes unstable or hangs. This results in a denial of services to the legitimate users.
State Error
It is an error that is a result of the lack of state maintenance due to incorrect process flows.
Opening multiple tabs in web browsers
Security violation and impact:
There are specific security attacks, such as Cross-site scripting (XSS), that will result in user-authenticated sessions being hijacked.
Information security professionals need to be aware of the processes involved in identifying system vulnerabilities. It is important to devise suitable countermeasures, in a cost effective and efficient way, to reduce the risk factor associated with the identified vulnerabilities. Some such measures are applying patches supplied by the application vendors and hardening the systems.
Penetration testing
While vulnerability assessment and remediation is used to strengthen the computer system, it is also important that suitable penetration tests be performed periodically to identify the possibilities of how a system may be compromised. The primary purpose of penetration testing is to identify the exploitation possibilities of an identified vulnerability.
The following diagram illustrates the process of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT):
VAPT can be performed in the following nine-step process:
While performing assessments and tests, the scope of the assignment needs to be clearly defined. The scope is based on the assets to be tested. The following are the three possible scopes that exist
- Black Box Testing: Testing from an external network with no prior knowledge of the internal networks and systems
- Gray Box Testing: Testing from an external or internal network, with knowledge of the internal networks and systems. This is usually a combination of black box testing and white box testing
- White Box Testing: Performing the test from within the network with the knowledge of the network architecture and the systems. This is also referred to as internal testing
Information Gathering
The process of information gathering is to obtain as much information as possible about the IT environment such as networks, IP addresses, operating system version, etc. This is applicable to all the three types of scope as discussed earlier.
Vulnerability Detection
In this process, tools such as vulnerability scanners are used, and vulnerabilities are identified in the IT environment by way of scanning.
Information Analysis and Planning
This process is used to analyze the identified vulnerabilities, combined with the information gathered about the IT environment, to devise a plan for penetrating into the network and system
Penetration Testing
In this process, the target systems are attacked and penetrated using the plan devised in the earlier process.
Privilege Escalation
After successful penetration into the system, this process is used to identify and escalate access to gain higher privileges, such as root access or administrative access to the system.
Result Analysis
This process is useful for performing a root cause analysis as a result of a successful compromise to the system leading to penetration, and devise suitable recommendations in order to make the system secure by plugging the holes in the system.
All the findings that are observed during the vulnerability assessment and penetration testing process need to be documented, along with the recommendations, in order to produce the testing report to the management for suitable actions.
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing involves compromising the system, and during the process, some of the files may be altered. This process ensures that the system is brought back to the original state, before the testing, by cleaning up (restoring) the data and files used in the target machines.
Common myths about vulnerability assessment and penetration testing
The following are some of the common myths about security assessments, such as vulnerability and penetration testing, and about information security in general:
- I use a firewall, and therefore my systems are secure
- I don't have web-based applications and am not connected to the Internet, and therefore my systems are safe
- There was no intrusion incident in the past few years, and therefore our systems are not penetrable
- I have a good security engineer, and therefore my systems are safe
Worldwide statistics of intrusions and system compromises indicate that such beliefs are not true. Proper vulnerability testing is necessary and helps in information security risk management processes.
CVE and CVSS
Many security groups, vendors, and other organizations that are involved in vulnerability research, identify vulnerabilities in the systems almost daily. There are many variations in terms of these reported vulnerabilities used by different vendors. Sometimes it is difficult to identify whether the reported vulnerability, by different vendors, is the same or different.
To address this anomaly, many of the security vendors, software vendors, and other similar business groups, formed a worldwide effort. The outcome of this group is an online dictionary of vulnerabilities and exposures. This online dictionary is called Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of USA.
CVE is an online dictionary of vulnerabilities, and there is an effort by NIST, USA as part of their Information Security Automation Program (ISAP) to provide criticality rating or scoring for CVE-listed vulnerabilities. This scoring is known as the Critical Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and is contained in an online database known as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
In this article we focused on the vulnerability and penetration tests that give security a professional way to identify and evaluate system weaknesses and then mitigate the risks based on the results of such tests.
We've also focused on the types of vulnerabilities, the typical security violations and their related impact on the IT systems, and also the process of conducting vulnerability and penetration tests.
Finally, we've also discussed some of the standardization efforts such as CVE and CVSS that are initiated by the standards body such as the NIST.

NBC is bringing The Bible back!
When the first episode of the History Channel miniseries premiered to astounding ratings back in March, we talked to executive producers Mark Burnett and his wife Roma Downey about the success of The Bible. And he could not stop gushing about what he calls some of the "greatest stories in the history of the world."
"The Bible has the greatest stories in the history of the world. First of all, it's our faith. We love the Bible," he told us. "But beyond that, there wouldn't be Lord of the Rings. There would never be Narnia. We wouldn't have Matrix [without the Bible]!"
As for their inspiration to take on The Bible in the first place, Downey cites the "beloved" but decades-old Ten Commandments film starring Charlton Heston. "We thought there was also an opportunity here to bring this great Bible story to the screen in fresh, visual ways," she said.
Here is the official logline for The Bible sequel, tentatively titled A.D.: Beyond the Bible:
"A perfect storm brews in the Holy Land, fueled by social injustice, Roman military oppression and religious unrest. High priests and the Herod dynasty vie for power. Zealot revolutionaries turn to violence to regain what they believe is their promised land. And in the face of terrible odds and brutal persecution, the small band of Jesus' disciples stand against the combined might of Rome and their own local authorities. In a generation of rebellion, war, famine, and carnage, who can they trust? Who should they fear? Will tomorrow bring a violent death? For many, it does … but others survive, and as the storm around them breaks, the fate of Israel, of Rome and of their faith is decided."

Summerfest's food lineup - with a few new bites
Casual sit-down dining with a lake view, cute little doughnuts and really big hot dogs are among the new chow options at Summerfest 2012.
The new Saz's Dockside Barbecue at the north end of the new BMO Harris Pavilion is billed as a casual sit-down restaurant with table service.
On the menu: chopped brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs, sour cream and chive fries, a fish fry and premium wine and beer offerings.
The Saz's restaurant is a revamp of Sazama's Lakeside Grille, which had a more upscale menu and fewer seats. The new place has seating for more than 300, while the old place seated 220 last year, according to Eric Heinritz, director of food and beverage operations for Summerfest.
The changes were a matter of logistics, he said.
"It's hard to have a higher-end sit down restaurant at an 11-day festival," Heinritz said. "We wanted to have something with more seating to accommodate more people at a slightly lower price point."
Saz's Dockside Barbecue will be open from noon to midnight daily. A fixed-price menu ($35 per person) featuring Saz's specialties will be served from 7:30 to midnight June 27 and July 3 - fireworks nights. For reservations, call (414) 453-4023, or email email@example.com.
And about that really big hot dog: It's a near 2-footer (22 inches), weighing in at 1 pound and at a hefty price: $25.
It will be introduced at Summerfest by Martino's, which is holding a name-that-dog contest on its Facebook page. A few suggestions so far: Dogzilla, Hercules, the Hog Dog, the Stanley Pup, Zeus.
This major-league dog comes in a specially designed boat with handles.
"They had to have a custom-built container to transport it," Heinritz said.
He acknowledges that this wurst may get more lookers than takers, but that's OK.
"It's one of those things where you get the visual, you get the, 'Where did you get that?' and 'What is that?' People will be talking about the big hot dog they saw down at Summerfest."
New vendors
Sil's , serving mini-doughnuts at a stand between the Summerfest Rock Stage and the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage (a bag of six for $2; 12 for $4 and a "family pack" of 36 mini-doughnuts for $11). They'll offer 12 "dipping doughnuts" with a choice of chocolate or vanilla icing for $5.
La Coppa will serve its specialty, spaghetti gelato, featuring whipped cream, gelato, strawberry topping and shaved white chocolate ($6), at its Summerfest Rock Stage/North Market area location. Also on the menu: a gelato trio ($5) of 1-ounce gelato scoops with a hardened glaze (yogurt gelato with strawberry glaze, amaretto gelato with dark chocolate glaze and latte gelato with white chocolate glaze) served on a stick.
New food
Martino's, a longtime vendor, offers its 22-inch Chicago-style hot dog at its location near the Miller Lite Oasis area. It comes with a hefty price of $25 but is the equivalent of at least five of Martino's standard-size hot dogs.
New beverages
Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. marks a Summerfest milestone with Leinenkugel's Summer Festeweizen 45th Anniversary Ale. It's a traditional Bavarian-style ale, a medium-bodied beer brewed with malted wheat and a touch of oats.

EON's Proprietary Energy-Trading Loss Narrows in First 9 Months
EON SE's loss from buying and selling energy for itself narrowed in the first nine months as Germany's biggest utility recovered from lower earnings in gas, oil and eastern European power markets last year.
EON's proprietary trading unit lost 34 million euros ($46 million) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, according to the Dusseldorf-based company's report for the nine-month period ending Sept. 30 published today. That compares with a 66 million-euro loss the same time last year.
EON's profit from optimizing the value of its power plants fell 44 percent to 775 million euros, after 2012 benefited from a one-time payment from a settlement with Gazprom on gas-delivery contracts, the company said.
The utility cut staff at its global commodities unit, which comprises the proprietary trading, optimization and infrastructure businesses, by 33 percent this year to 1,468 as of Sept. 30, the company said in the report.
"The number of our traders is relatively stable," Georg Oppermann, a company spokesman, said by phone from Dusseldorf today. "The cuts were mainly driven by the sale of our Hungarian business and the transfer of staff to other segments."
The company employs around 150 traders at its Dusseldorf headquarters, Oppermann said.
EON buys and sells electricity, natural gas, oil, coal, carbon emissions and biomass through its global commodities unit.

The Biggest Surprise of the Return of Captain EOMarch 2nd, 2010 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)
Tim Babb's March Blog Madness: Day 2
In 1986, a trifecta of awesome was bestowed upon young Tim Babb. Someone decided to combine the "Star Wars guy" (George Lucas) with Michael Jackson and do it in Disneyland. In doing so, they caused my young brain to melt with sheer joy. It was a 17 minute 3-D movie called Captain EO…and it's back!!!
I went on last weekend to behold the glory and I was, indeed, transported back to my youth. But there was one thing I wasn't expecting…I do not remember Angelica Houston's character being kinda hot.
Maybe it's because she's part black and part white (I can relate to THAT). Maybe it's because being raised on Star Trek makes me predisposed to be attracted to aliens (and she looks a little like the Borg Queen from Star Trek: First Contact)…but when watching her this time I was like, "Well HELLO, Supreme Leader! YOU can infect MY world with YOUR presence anytime. Snoogans!" I mean she comes with her own "play time" suspension rig. What more could you ask for?
PS-Happy 10th Anniversary, Melanie! You're doin' it! 😉

The Hurricane 360 Spin Mop is the amazing microfiber mop that can clean, dry and polish all in one easy step. Plus it features a patented bucket with centrifugal dryer technology that helps cut your cleaning time in half.
With other mops you have to manually clean and rinse it yourself. But with the Hurricane 360 Spin Mop you can just dip it inside the washer side filled with water and the microfiber fingers will expand, releasing the dirt and dust.
Next place the mop inside the dryer basket and then push down the foot pump. The centrifugal force will spin the mop over 1,000 RPMs to dry the mop for you. You'll never have to touch a dirty mop again.
The special mop head can clean and pick up almost all kinds of messes off the floor, including hair, dust and dirt. It can absorb up to 10 times it's weight and is also machine washable over 300 times.
The Hurricane 360 Spin Mop can clean almost any type of flooring and it won't leave any streaks or smears. The mop handle can lie flat so you can clean underneath the refrigerator, couch, or other furniture.

thoughts on provincetown ~ october, 2010
to celebrate our first anniversary, tim and i decided to go to provincetown. i had never been there before, but i had heard vague rumors about this p-town — "it's the san francisco of the east!" — and despite this dire warning, in early november, 2006, we loaded up the truck and headed east towards the ocean. once there, we made a left.
we arrived and got ourselves set up at this very sweet little bed and breakfast. during the whole checking-in-and-chatting-with-the-very-nice-gay-owner process, a slow realization began to occur. although it was well into autumn — and therefore the off-season for provincetown — there was apparently some big event happening that very same weekend. what event? oh you know, the meet your man in provincetown weekend; the one where all these single guys from all over the eastern seaboard come to p-town in the hopes of finding the perfect one-night-stand and/or marriage proposal.
i don't know what your reaction to this bit of news might be, but my own response might have been accurately described as non-plussed. to spend our first anniversary in a charming, gay-friendly town perched at the end of a terminal moraine is one thing. to spend it on a gay singles cruise is quite another. but what can one do? one has paid for the room and one has already learned and forgotten the names of not only the hosteler but two other guests. it is past the point of equivocation.
rather than go into long and dreary detail about the various things that happened during the meet your man in provincetown/wichland-inocencio anniversary weekend 2006, allow me to summarize my findings re: provincetown, ma.
what i learned about provincetown on my first anniversary:
- mostly, it's a lot of older white guys ~ if older white guys are your thing, you can't do much better than p-town. it's like palm springs, only wetter.
- some of you might say, now whoah, they can't all be older white guys. aren't there also younger white guys? ~ to which i say, yes i suppose but how useful is that distinction really?
- it is a very charming place ~ there are plenty of places to get organic, local coffee, dogs are welcome almost everywhere, and there are more tchotchke shops and art galleries than you could possibly want to enter, much less browse. let's say you wanted a little embroidered patch, about the size of your thumbnail, shaped like the state of new mexico. i'm 100% sure you can find it in provincetown.
- it is NOT the san francisco of the east ~ it is the ogunquit of the south.
- it closes early ~ bars start kicking people out at about 12:45am, so if you're going to meet cute with someone, you better work fast. no dilly dallying with things like conversation. just take off your shirt and start licking.
- the best thing about provincetown ~ being with tim. honestly. several people figured out this closely guarded secret and tried to be with tim too. poor thing.
i willingly cop to any perceived negativity in the above summary. for those of you who know me, well you know; for those of you who don't, oh well! i'm sure there are plenty of folks who think provincetown is the bees knees and the best thing since sliced bread. i myself am slightly uncomfortable there and this colors my perceptions. why uncomfortable? hmmm. maybe i'll get into that another time. oh, one more important finding:
provincetown is NOT cape cod ~ there are lots of wonderful things in provincetown. there are even more wonderful things tucked away in the secret corners and hidden folds of cape cod. one of the best things about visiting provincetown is leaving provincetown.
almost 4 years later, tim and i found ourselves in provincetown once again. having been there once before, i felt better prepared than i had been during my first visit. this time around it was halloween, and the powers that be had decided that the most appropriate theme would be…wait for it…harry potter! hmmm.
this meant that tucked in amongst the folks dressed like bedbugs, chilean miners (there were veritable troupes of these guys), smurfs, drag queens, gladiators, cops, cowboys, zombie bedbugs, zombie chilean miners, zombie smurfs, zombie drag queens, zombie gladiators, zombie cops, and zombie cowboys were maybe 6 people dressed like characters from the harry potter movies. i counted 1 ron weasley, 1 hermione granger, 3 harry potters and 1 member of hogwart's faculty. and they were pissed. one gentleman with long white beard and star-covered robe wandered past us and, giddy, i hollered, "professor dumbledore!"
"finally!" he shrieked "everyone fucking thinks i'm fucking santa claus! this is supposed to be a harry potter themed event, assholes!"
"whoah," said tim, "that guy's pissed."
we closed out the night at the atlantic house, the best place to go dancing in p-town. the music was good, the folks were friendly, and until the shirts started coming off and the underwear contest started, i was more than content to just stand around and watch the gays grappling with their gayness. after that, i was pretty much ready to head back to the quiet autumn chill of our almost abandoned campground, a wonderful 10 miles away from this, the beating heart of gay new england.
if you've never been, here are some 360-degree quicktime vrs that capture some of the magic, charm and absurdity of provincetown. if you have been, here's a reminder of the things you love/hate about our p-town. (just click on the large squares to get started.)
portuguese square ~ provincetown, ma (click on the above square to load a 360-degree qtvr. you can click and hold to rotate; click the +/- to zoom in and out)
pilgrims monument ~ provincetown, ma (click on the above square to load a 360-degree qtvr. you can click and hold to rotate; click the +/- to zoom in and out)
ross' grill on halloween ~ provincetown, ma (click on the above square to load a 360-degree qtvr. you can click and hold to rotate; click the +/- to zoom in and out)
one last sad little story: as the meet your man in provincetown/wichland-inocencio anniversary 2006 came to a close, tim and i found ourselves tucked into our cozy room. we had abandoned the clubs early and wandered the moonlit streets of p-town, happy and in love, until we found our way back to the aerie house. we had no idea what time it was until our neighbor, a single guy, banged his way up the stairs, down the hallway, and crashed heavily into his room.
he turned on the television, flipped through a few channels and then popped in a dvd. in a few moments, the melancholy strains of the soundtrack to brokeback mountain began to thread their way into our room. this was followed by the sound of our neighbor, who had decidedly NOT met his man in provincetown, sobbing.
apparently, my friend, it gets better. let's hope so for all of our sakes.

How to create forms, like survey forms using javascript. I cannot ask all my questions at once as they differ according to user's answer. The tutorials and examples I found on the web are more to how to check whether user's inputs are within numbers for the "phone", which is not useful for my case.
My form is simple, the user will only submit an answer to every question, although there will be a few options given. Currently i am thinking of creating buttons with options on it and the user can click on the desired answer.
Then the page needs to refresh to the next question (as mentioned earlier, the question depends on the user's answer to previous question. There will be no true or false answer.
What i have done currently is up to :
ask question 1, and created yes, no and maybe buttons, and different messages will appear in a pop up window according to user's answer. This is NOT what I want, i want the page to refresh and proceed to next question instead of having pop ups. as I mentioned, there is no true and false answer. Every answer by the user is like a command to what question should be called next.
I appreciate it if you could show me some example codes.

You Became A Meme
Written By Ben Joseph & Conor McKeon
Sitting at home, cruisin' round the Internet
You send a link, "funny pic" is what you said
"Lolcat?" Where's the humor in this, dude?
I'm in New York, accepting my VMA prize
Kanye interrupts, can't believe that just happened live
He preferred "Single Ladies" to my tune
Next day, top search: me and this jerk.
Remixes, mash ups, message boards gone beserk
Never dreamed one day that I'd wake up and find
That what you know me for is one clip online
Sometimes web geeks make jokes that catch on then won't stop
My one bad day is now stuck on your laptop screen
I've become a meme
I've become a meme
You hadn't been a star since the mid eighties
Someone pretends your vid is Lohan nudity
You're finally famous again as a lame fake-out
Does it make you queasy?
And you were just a bear in some old jpeg file
Until 4chan said you were a pedophile
Now you just show up when girls are too young
You're like an evil furry Chris Hansen
You went on TV, wouldn't say "sorry"
His dad lied for a top news story
Be a huge dick or just play hide and seek
If the web laughs at you, you'll be famous all week
You see online you don't need much to be funny
A kid, some cats, they'll add the irony…
You'll become a meme.
You'll become a meme
Oh you were trying to introduce a song, then you nearly lost your mind,
Just before you're about to crack, you said we'll just do it live.
They sent the clip around, you screamed left-wing conspiracy.
They only did it for the lulz, but it's more than comedy…
In a week
I went from country music shows to
Hosting SNL, it's not hard to see
It's cause I'm a meme
Your vids, pics, posts do more make then just make fun
We know it's love or at least free publicity…
You made us a meme.
You made us a meme.
You made us a meme.
Have you ever thought just maybe…
It's good to be a meme.

As I've written in the past, there are several types of "dropdowns" in SharePoint forms. Briefly, there are:
- "Simple" dropdowns – These are plain, old HTML selects; the type of dropdown you are most familiar with on the Web. SharePoint renders one of these when there are fewer than 20 options.
- "Complex" dropdowns – SharePoint gives you these if there are 20 or more options. The interesting thing about this type of dropdown is that it is actually pretty ingenious, but very few people know why. When I ask in my presentations at various events who knows about the ingenious part, the percentage of people in the room who know about why they are ingenious is almost always less than 50% and usually far below. I'll tell you how it works at the end of the post.
- Multi-select dropdowns – Sure, these aren't truly dropdowns, but they are what SharePoint displays when you when you offer the user a set of choices and want to allow them to select zero or more of those choices and you don't choose checkboxes – sort of a dropdown.
The naming convention above is mine, one that I came up with when I was trying to understand the Document Object Model (DOM) which SharePoint renders so that I could write some of the cool functions in SPServices. The issues I am going to point out in this post occur with the "complex dropdown" only.
Issue One – The Wrong Selection
When a Lookup column's list source has duplicate values and a validation error occurs elsewhere in the form, the first matching value is shown as selected, not the value which was selected if the selection was occurrence 2+. That's a little hard to follow, so here is what I mean.
We can demonstrate this on a list form with a dropdown (Lookup) column and one other column which has validation of any type. In my example, there's one column for State and another for City. Assume that there are two or more States with the name Alabama. (This isn't a great example, but bear with me, as it will prove the point.) Also assume that there are 20+ States and that the City column is required.
When we select the second Alabama value and no City is selected, on submit there is a validation error because a City is required.
That's all well and good, and what we would like to have happen:
However, the first occurrence of Alabama is now selected rather than the second, which we had selected:
This may be a weak example, but it still proves that there is a bug introduced by the complex dropdown control. If the person setting up the list for States knows enough about relational data, they won't have multiple items in the list with the same Title. However, many users (and frankly, many IT people) are not well-versed in the nuances of building a good information architecture which follows the rules of relational data constructs. It's reasonable to expect that SharePoint will record the correct value.
The bug is introduced because rather than saving and matching on the selected option's value (which is the ID for the item in the Lookup list), the text of the selected option is used to match, therefore causing the error. I've had to introduce the same bug into SPServices so that I can mimic the out of the box functionality.
This bug is identical in SharePoint 2007 and 2010.
Issue Two – User Interface Bug with No Dialogs
This issue occurs only in SharePoint 2010. By default, list forms in 2010 are displayed in a dialog box. What this means is that rather than going to an entirely new page to display the form as happens in SharePoint 2007, the form is "popped up" over the current page, which is usually a list view.
When the form is shown in the dialog box, all is well and good, and the complex dropdown looks like this when you try to choose an option:
However, if you decide to turn off the dialogs (List Settings / Advanced Settings / Dialogs – way down at the bottom of the screen), there is a display issue where the available values are shifted about 155px to the right:
The dropdown otherwise functions just fine, but it sure doesn't look right.
In my opinion, and based on conversations with my clients, the constant dialogs are an anathema in SharePoint 2010. They certainly make forms which have any complexity to them harder to fill out. I usually recommend turning the option for dialogs off for many forms. Unfortunately, it's a manual, repetitive process.
The complex dropdown is truly a complicated beast. It's made up of multiple HTML elements and JavaScript which allows it to function. Unfortunately, that markup and scripts doesn't seem to have gone through a perfect Quality Assurance (QA) process.
Oh, and the ingenious part of the complex dropdown I promised you? When you start typing in the input element – yes, you can type in there! – the control filters the available values it shows. For example, if I type "sou" into the input element, I only see the "South Dakota" and "South Carolina" values in the dropdown.
This is great functionality, but since so few people know about it, especially real users of SharePoint, it serves little purpose other than to confuse everyone!

All right, score one for South Carolina
All is not lost, apparently, even in South Carolina. GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has spoken up forcefully against the nutters on the right. From HuffPo:
"I'm here to tell you that those who think the president was not born in Hawaii are crazy," said Graham, who went on to dispel another myth: that Obama is a closet Muslim...
...Reflecting comments made earlier in the day by his colleague and close friend, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Graham said he was deeply worried about "the passions of cable TV" whipping up the emotions of the public. "If you get rewarded for being a jerk you are going to keep doing it," he said, before labeling "Talk radio, MoveOn.org, and the 24-hour news cycle" as the main culprits in polarizing the nation.
"Can you imagine doing D-Day with cable television?" he asked. "Can you imagine writing the Constitution -- you know, O'Reilly says Ben Franklin's giving in on something. Can you imagine having to do that in this environment?"
He also attacked Glenn Beck pretty strongly. Now watch -- they're going to start in on Graham. Keep an eye out for it. At any rate, cheers to him -- the first GOP senator to really speak up about all this stuff.
I've often imagined exactly the image he conjured -- you know, Fox News covering the American Revolution, or the civil rights movement. Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King are both fortunate they weren't around.

I Miss My Dog...He was with me from birth, then I moved to a different country for education...I came back sometimes, and he would always run up to me with its tail wagging out of control. He never forgot me, and he was so important to me, knowing that I could always confide in him. Heck, there was a time where I thought I would rather have a dog than a cheating, demanding boyfriend.
Now, he's gone. The dog that always ran up to me when I got out of the cab, the dog that always played with me when my parents were working, the dog that seemed like it understood me perfectly when no one else did.
I walk past the dog bone aisle where I always bought his treats, and I almost want to cry sometimes. A bit emotional over a dog, but yes, that's how I feel.
I cried when he died. No one to welcome me home, unused dog toys that gather dust, half empty bag of dog food, empty backyard, no need to walk through the pet aisle of the supermarket. It felt like a part of my routine disappeared.
Yes, this is quite the dramatization to you, but this is what I felt.

The Sea and Cake
The Sea and Cake Official Website
The Sea and Cake are a band who need very little introduction. In their extensive 20 year career the band has bridged the gap between Brazilian music of the late 1960's, African influenced guitar lines, and independent pop. A sound that is entirely distinct, centered around the delicate guitar interplay of Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt, driven by the versatile rhythms of bassist Eric Claridge and drummer John McEntire, and finally set apart by Prekop's vocals and obtuse lyrics. The trademark soft spoken intimacy has been replaced by assured confidence and buoyancy. The band have a renewed sense of freedom and seem to be invigorated by their own explorations. The energy and excitement are palpable.

After three years of using Gossamer Gear's Kumo, I decided to try their even lighter pack, the Murmur. All of GG's packs have been redesigned this year for comfort, style, and functionality, so I was curious about making the switch. The current Murmur is a little smaller than the previous version, and a bit lighter than the Kumo. I've used it on several day hikes and overnights this season already, and I'm pretty happy with what I've seen.
The previous version of the Murmur was essentially identical to the Kumo, but with lighter materials. The new Murmur is a completely different design, starting with a lighter material. The main pack body is made of Cordura Nylon, which is much lighter than the previous Dyneema material, and translucent enough to see almost all of what you're packing. The material feels very fragile, but I've gotten it caught on lots of poking tree limbs already and can't find any signs of tearing, so it's clearly stronger than it looks. It is also water resistant, although I haven't tested that in any more than a light rain.
Features that are new in the Murmur (or similar to older versions) include a roll-top closure system, shoulder straps that have no padding, trekking pole carrying loops, and a removable hip belt with very nice integrated pockets. The hip belt, though well designed, is something I removed right away, since I never use hip belts on ultralight packs. The clips to attach the belt took some futzing to undo, so this is probably something you wouldn't want to detach and reattach frequently, but on the plus side they leave almost nothing on the pack when detached, so the weight savings is almost 100%. The trekking pole carry loops are very useful, and there's not much more to say about those.
The unpadded shoulder straps are unusual compared to GG's other new packs, which have very plush padding. Since the Kumo is the first pack I've owned where I completely did away with hip belts, I was a little worried that the lack of padding in the new Murmur would be uncomfortable. While they are somewhat less comfortable than the padded straps when carrying a full pack, the point of the Murmur is to be the pack for experienced ultralight hikers. I've carried the Kumo with about 27 pounds of load before without too much discomfort. I probably wouldn't try the Murmur with much more than 20, which is plenty for a four-day summer backpacking trip. The up-side to the unpadded straps is also that they are fully mesh, which allows the shoulders to breathe more. I've had much less shoulder sweat with the Murmur than with my Kumo.
A few changes in the design to the Murmur will take some getting used to for me– they're not necessarily bad, but worth noting. First, the side pockets don't billow as much as other GG packs, and they seem to have Smart Water bottles in mind. I use wider water bottles, and have to squeeze a little harder to get them into the pockets. Similarly, the stretch mesh for the large rear pocket is less stretchy than the previous version, so I can't cram as much stuff into it unless the main pack compartment is less full.
The roll-top closure for the pack is nice, but so far I haven't been able to fill the pack to the point where it's full enough to warrant extending the roll-top's side compression straps at all. This shouldn't be an issue most of the time, but considering the load I had in the pack for a four-day backpacking trip still barely filled the main pack body while pushing the limits of the 20-pound load limit, I wonder what I would have to pack in order to really fill out the main compartment. Maybe lots of puffy insulation.
All in all, it's a very nice pack with a stylish remodeling that doesn't add significant weight. I'll probably continue using it for at least three more years.

Enrollment begins in phase III blepharitis trial
Alameda, CA—Patient enrollment has begun in a phase III clinical trial of ISV-502 (AzaSite Plus, InSite Vision) and ISV-305 (DexaSite, InSite Vision) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of both product candidates simultaneously for the treatment of blepharitis. The DOUBle (Dual Ophthalmic agents Used in Blepharitis) study will seek to enroll about 900 patients with moderate-to-severe blepharitis in a four-arm trial.
"The DOUBle study has the potential to make a significant contribution to improving patient care and demonstrates our strong commitment to make [ISV-502] and [ISV-305] available for the more than 34 million blepharitis sufferers in the United States who currently have no approved drug therapies available to them," said Kamran Hosseini, MD, PhD, vice president and chief medical officer of InSite Vision.
ISV-502 combines the corticosteroid dexamethasone 0.1% with the antibiotic azithromycin 1% in the company's proprietary drug delivery platform (DuraSite), and ISV-305 combines dexamethasone 0.1% with the delivery platform.
The company has created two proprietary tools—an investigator scoring system (BleSSSED, or Blepharitis Signs & Symptoms Scoring for Evaluating Disease) and a patient quality-of-life survey (BleQOLITY, or Blepharitis Quality Of Life In TherapY)—to measure disease severity and aid in monitoring treatment response.
Patients with moderate-to-severe blepharitis will be randomly assigned to one of four study arms to receive treatment with ISV-502, ISV-305, azithromycin 1% ophthalmic solution (AzaSite), or the delivery vehicle twice daily for a period of 14 days. ISV-502 will be evaluated against azithromycin 1% for the primary endpoint of resolution of the clinical signs and symptoms of blepharitis, and against ISV-305 to compare the length of time to recurrence or exacerbation of symptoms following the treatment period. The efficacy and safety of ISV-305 will be measured against the delivery vehicle for the primary endpoint of resolution of clinical signs and symptoms of blepharitis at the end of the dosing period.

Eagles Says No to Rangers
Rangers and Burnley were understood to have agreed a 'substantial' fee for 24-year-old winger, Chris Eagles and it looked on the cards that he would soon be joining the SPL Champions.
However following talks in Glasgow, it is now clear he was unable to agree personal terms.
Eagles was at Ibrox and also visited the Gers' Murray Park training ground on Wednesday. He held discussions with Rangers gaffer, Walter Smith and chief executive Martin Bain but these talks appear to have broken down.
'Chris Eagles has tonight (Thursday) decided that a move to Rangers is not in his best interests,' read a statement on the club's official website.
Surprising decision but is he holding out still for a Premier League club to come in for him? Time will tell,in the meantime we can all breathe a sigh of relief(at least those Clarets fans who rate Eagles and believe he can do a job for us in the Championship)
Burnley FC are aware they could lose Eagles on a Bosman next summer when his contract expires so they may be keen to cash in now if the player is unhappy to play in the Championship. On the other hand,Chris, why not stay and try and get us back into the Premier League?
