About MeI am a fresh new face that loves art and fashion. I'm not scared to try new artistic ideas and themes, but I stay modest. I primarily shoot beauty, fashion, and artistic looks. I do not shoot nudes or fetish. Please be aware that I am escorted to all initial photo shoots when shooting with new photographers I am unfamiliar with.

Troy Brouwer and his wife, Carmen, knew their first child was on the way, due in mid-October. Kylie Marie was born Oct. 14, about a month into the NHL lockout.
Naturally, the Washington Capitals right wing wondered about what could have been if the season were going on as scheduled.
"We would've been in Ottawa the night before, and then two days later we were leaving for a five-day road trip," Brouwer said. "So it's actually kind of nice that I'm able to be home, be there for Carmen and for Kylie."
Spending important time with family is a lockout silver lining for Brouwer and other players. But that doesn't mean it's easy to accept the new normal of not having the routine of the NHL season.
"I'd rather have the regular routine of going to the rink in the morning, practicing and playing games. Right now, it's still kind of hit or miss," Brouwer said Friday at the Champs for Charity exhibition game outside Chicago. "Some days you don't really feel like going to the gym, but you have to because you have to keep yourself in shape. The routine is kind of a little bit more loose. You can kind of go to the gym when you want, you skate when you want. You do as much or as little as you want. Sometimes to have that nice structure, routine and schedule is nice just to follow along."
Right now, Brouwer's routine includes cleaning up diapers and helping out his wife. Ex-Caps defenseman Joe Corvo, now with the Carolina Hurricanes, is in the same situation.
"Mostly kid duty lately," Corvo said. "I've got a lot more time on my hands, so I'm running errands for my wife. I'm my wife's personal assistant."
There are some benefits to that lifestyle and skating in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Corvo gets to watch sons Connor and Maddox play hockey and baseball and help out on occasion.
"That makes it special for me because I've seen guys who probably their only regrets over their career is that they didn't get to really see their children grow up and they missed those sporting events," Corvo said. "It's nice to be able to do that. I'll have something I remember, and hopefully in the near future that's what I'll be doing."
But for now, Corvo wants to think of himself as an NHL defenseman, even recognizing that at 35 his time to make a living as a pro hockey player is limited. That makes this routine as a stay-at-home dad more difficult.
"I'm a creature of habit. I like structure. I like somebody telling me where to be, when to be there," he said. "And I like having a job. It'd be nice to get back to work."
Players have remained strong to their principles in these negotiations, but that doesn't mean Boston Bruins enforcer Shawn Thornton wouldn't love to be playing, too. Trying to stay in shape during the lockout has its challenges.
"For the last month and a half we've been skating at [Boston University]. There's a ton of us from Boston skating with no goalies, shooting at posts. It kind of gets pretty old," Thornton said. "So two weeks ago, I went back to my hometown to skate with my junior team just so I could see a goalie in front of me."
Tuukka Rask was the practice goalie before getting a job in the Czech Republic. Likewise Michal Neuvirth for Caps players skating locally before leaving for Europe.
As too many have discovered, it's just another hurdle during the lockout.

Dupont's Titanium Oxide Color Recipe- Stolen for Chinese Advantage July 22, 2015Posted by Chris Mark in Industry News, InfoSec & Privacy, Risk & Risk Management.

Oddly (to me anyhow) this is the 2nd most popular post on my blog! It was written over 3 years ago but since it gets so much traffic I thought I should re-post. Here it is in 2015!
Many mistakenly believe that only "high tech" secrets and intellectual property are targets for intellectual property theft. In a clear example of how any propriety secret can be considered a target, a scientist (Tse Chao) who worked for Dupont from 1966-2002 (36 years!) pleaded guilty in Federal court on Thursday to committing espionage for a company controlled by the Chinese government. Mr. Chao testified that he provided confidential information to Chines controlled Pangang Group. What did he steal? Among other things, the recipe for Dupont's Titanium Dioxide. What is TD used in? Titanium Dioxide is the ingredient in many white products that makes the products white. Products such as paint, toothpaste, and Oreo cookie filling! Stealing the ingredients to Oreos shows just how low cyberthieves will go! According to court documents: "DuPont's chlorine-based process was eagerly sought by China, which used a less efficient and more environmentally harmful production method"
I have worked with a number of large companies who, when asked why they did not protect trade secrets, replied that they did not believe their industry or type of product was of interest. Make no mistake. If your company has a unique process, technology, or product, it IS of interest to many companies. Unfortunately, the US Government has released reports that state that China is sponsoring much of the US and European cyber espionage.

Asymmetric Warfare 101 July 21, 2015Posted by Chris Mark in Risk & Risk Management, weapons and tactics.
Tags: asymmetric threats, asymmetric warfare, Chris Mark, guerrilla warfare, mark consulting group, risk management, security
1 comment so far
With the current state of affairs I thought it appropriate to 'republish' this blog post from 2012. You can also read the article from Secure Payments Magazine on the same topic applied to InfoSec.
Asymmetric Warfare can be described as the strategy of using weapons, tactics, and methods to render the asymmetry that exists between two adversaries as moot. Consider the US Military for a moment. Since the end of World War II, which is arguably the start of US hegemony, the United States has fielded what many believe is the most powerful conventional military in the history of the world (or at least modern world). In spite, of this fact the US, and her allies) have struggled in conflicts in Vietnam, Somalia, and most recently in Iraq, and Afghanistan. In each of these theaters it was groups of lesser-trained, relatively ill-equipped insurgents that created significant challenges to the US military. By applying guerilla tactics, and employing IEDs and other technologies, the adversaries were able to balance the perceived asymmetry between the might of the US and their own capabilities.
The US is not alone in this dubious distinction of struggling with conventionally weaker adversaries. The Soviet Union was defeated in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and a much weaker France, led by Napoleon, defeated the powerful Prussian Military. France, in turn, lost French Indochina with the coup-de-grace coming in the surrender at Dien Bein Phu in 1954. If each of these countries were militarily superior to their foes, how did they end up losing their respective wars? These examples outline the effectiveness of asymmetric warfare.
While there exist a number of different definitions of Asymmetric Warfare, in a basic sense it applies to the strategies and tactics employed by a militarily weaker opponent to take advantage of vulnerabilities in the stronger opponent. As an example, few military forces on the planet would face the US military and her allies in open combat either on land or the sea. Doing so would be certain suicide. A look at the Persian Gulf War in 1991 shows the result of taking on the military might of the Western World in open combat. The Battle of Medina Ridge is a prime example. In this battle between the US 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division against the Iraqi, 2nd Brigade of 2nd Medina Luminous Division the US recorded 1 killed, and 30 wounded while recording 4 tanks as being damaged. The Iraqis, meanwhile, reported "heavy manpower losses" while reporting 186 tanks destroyed and 127 Armored Fighting Vehicles destroyed.
If a militarily inferior opponent cannot face the US, or Western powers in open combat, how do they fight? It is fair to day the days of Mahanian sea battles are behind us. Quite simply, they employ strategies that render the superior military might irrelevant or at least less relevant. Guerilla warfare is an example of an asymmetric strategy against a militarily superior foe. As stated in the military classic "On Guerrilla Warfare" by Mao Tse-Tung:
"At one end of the spectrum, ranks of electronic boxes buried deep in the earth hungrily spew out endless tapes. Scientists and engineers confer in air conditioned offices; missiles are checked by intense men who move about them silently, almost reverently….in forty minutes the countdown begins.
At the other end of the spectrum, a tired man wearing a greasy felt hat, a tattered shirt, and soiled shorts is seated, his back against a tree. Barrel pressed between his knees, butt resting on the moist earth between his sandaled feet, is a browning automatic rifle. ..Draped around his neck, a sausage-like cloth tube with three day's supply of rice…In forty minutes his group of fifteen men will occupy a previously prepared ambush."
This is warfare today. Unfortunately, the US, and her allies have learned that technology alone cannot win a war against a determined, creative enemy.
As discussed earlier the concept of Asymmetric Warfare is a field of some debate. When applying the concept to the business, and specifically the Information Security arena, it is more appropriate to apply the concept of Asymmetric Threats posited by C.A. Primmerman. Without going through too much of the math, and modifying Primmerman's original theory, we can state that a threat can be expressed using the following two statements:
- Adversary A could & would attack Adversary B by doing X
- Adversary B could & would respond to Adversary A by doing X.
Now we have the simple conclusion that statement (1) represents an asymmetric action if statement (2) is false, and it represents a symmetric action if statement (2) is true.
As an example of this concept working in practice, consider the following:
1a. Adversary A would attack Adversary B by using terror tactics against the civilian population.
2a. Adversary B would respond to Adversary A by terror tactics against the civilian population.
If statement 2a is false then the threat in 1a is asymmetric.
According to Pimmerman, an Asymmetric Threat must meet three criteria. These have been modified for our purposes and include:
- It must involve a weapon, tactic or strategy that the adversary both could and would use against another adversary.
- It must involve a weapon, tactic, or strategy that the would not or could not be be employed by one adversary.
- It must involve a weapon, tactic, or strategy that, if not countered, could have serious consequences. If a threat meets these three criteria, it would be considered asymmetric.
As any student of military strategy can attest, being in a purely defensive mode is a losing proposition. Unfortunately, in many instances asymmetric threats place one adversary in an almost purely defensive position. One of my favorite quotes that appears appropriately relevant now is by Julius Ceasar:
"There is no fate worse than being continuously under guard, for it means you are always afraid."
While not intended to be a comprehensive discussion of Asymmetric Threats the basic concepts are relevant in today's world.
Getting into Information Assurance Careers June 2, 2015Posted by Chris Mark in Uncategorized.

add a comment
I have had a number of folks email me asking about becoming an InfoSec worker so I am writing this post to (hopefully) help those who are interested. In 2001, I landed in InfoSec by pure luck and I have never looked back. It is an amazing field and a great career path. First..for some marketing. According to the InfoSec Institute, the average CISSP Salary in 2014 is over $100,000 per year. In 2013 there were 209,000 job postings for CyberSecurity Jobs and it is estimated that in 2015, there are 40,000 more jobs than people to take them. In short, it is a very high demand field.
InfoSec? CyberSecurity? Information Assurance? WHAT?
It is even confusing to me sometimes. At a high level I use the term Information Assurance as it encompasses all of the elements of protecting data. This includes data security (protecting data), CyberSecurity (protecting the systems, and infrastructure), Privacy (appropriate use of information) and Compliance (ensuring your company complies with relevant regulations) and Risk Management (evaluating the security risk of your organization). While this short post does not allow for a more comprehensive overview, these are the generic 'pillars' that we consider.

EMV- CHIP & Choice..not Chip & PIN…Start Moving! March 23, 2015Posted by Chris Mark in Uncategorized.
Tags: Chip & PIN, Chris Mark, data breach, EMV, EMVCO, fraud, Liability Shift, mastercard, PCI, visa
add a comment
After deviating from my 'security' theme, I am back to talk about InfoSec. Last week I had the opportunity to attend Visa Accredited EMV Consultant Training at Visa's Headquarters in Foster City, CA. As always, Visa put on a top tier program with numerous experts in Payment Card 'chip' technology. Since the topic was EMV most of the experts were from Across the Pond. Thanks to Mark, Chris and the others for great training!
For those who are new, EMV or "Europay, MasterCard, Visa" is a technology where a microprocessor 'chip' is embedded in a payment card (credit card, debit card, etc.). It is often erroneously referred too as "Chip & PIN" but EMV really only applies to the Chip technology. If a region or issuer wants to prefer PIN, they are able. Visa has a "Chip and Choice" model where they allow Chip with signature, no signature, or PIN depending upon the issuer, the risk and type of transaction (ie. Debit for Cash or ATM require a PIN). There was too much information over 2 days to talk about in this post but there was one point I learned and wanted to pass on..
In October 2015, Visa is offering a 'liability shift' for merchants who adopt EMV. My belief (it was wrong) until I attended the training was that the EMV liability shift only affected those merchants who 1) accepted a 'chip' card and on 'chip' transactions. These are known as 'chip on chip'. It is critical that Merchants understand that the liability shift occurs for merchants who accept transacitons over a dual interface terminal (Chip and NFC) who accept transactions of ANY form. As an example, if you accept 99% mag stripe transactions but you have dual interface terminals…the fraudulent transacion due to counterfeit have liability shifted to the issuer! It does NOT have to be a Chip on Chip transaction.
The Second important point to remember is that Visa is offering a Technology Incentive Program (TIP) that states if a Level 1 Merchant accepts 75% of transactions over a Dual Interface terminal, they do not have to validate compliance with an onsite assessment. There are some caveats to this so make sure you read the rules!
To get ready for implementation, ensure you download the Visa Merchant Readiness Acceptance Guide here.

Noise: Methods for Estimating Detectability and Threshold
It is often necessary to estimate or compare the detectability or significance of noises. This work presents a review and development of the underlying psychoacoustics of noise detection and threshold phenomena. Particular attention is paid to noises of arbitrary spectral shape. Various measures of human auditory frequency-selectivity are contrasted, including critical band, critical ratio, auditory filter, and active process considerations. This paper compares estimation techniques based on weighting with those given by detection criteria applied to more sophisticated auditory modeling. Some definitive recommendations are made.

Arizona Wildcats
ESPN's Goodman: Gabe York is Arizona Wildcats 'X Factor'
Everyone who has watched the No. 1 Arizona Wildcats this season knows who the team's stars are.
Nick Johnson, a junior, leads the team in scoring with 16.7 points per game and is the emotional leader of the team.
Aaron Gordon, a freshman, is a highlight reel dunk waiting to happen who has quickly become a versatile and premier defender.
T.J. McConnell, the transfer from Duquesne, is averaging 6 assists per game and appears to be the perfect point guard for Sean Miller's club.
Then there's also Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, all of whom have had big monents and been recognized as bringing something important to the table for the still-undefeated Wildcats (20-0, 7-0).
But according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman, in an Insider piece, the team's "X factor" is reserve guard Gabe York.
Aaron Gordon is going to bring his intensity and energy, T.J. McConnell will be solid running the team. Nick Johnson has done everything this season and Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski have taken significant jumps from their freshman campaigns. But while Johnson is shooting 37 percent from deep and Ashley has made 10 of 25 from deep, this team does not possess a lights-out shooter. The closest thing? Reserve guard Gabe York. Coach Sean Miller has been reluctant to use the 6-foot-3 sophomore due to his defensive deficiencies, but York could be the X factor because opponents likely will play a lot of zone against the Wildcats in March — and York is the team's top perimeter shooter. He made 3 of 6 in 18 minutes in a road win against UCLA earlier this month and drilled 3 of 5 in a 21-minute stint against Arizona State.
A sophomore from California, York played just 87 minutes as a freshman but has carved out a pretty prominent role this season. Goodman is not entirely accurate in his assessment that Miller is "reluctant" to use him, as York has appeared in every game this season and is averaging nearly 19 minutes per contest, but the point that the shooter could be huge for the team is accurate.
York is second on the team in three-point shots made and attempted, and is able to play some point guard and shooting guard for Arizona. He is averaging 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting .391 from the field and .403 from three-point range.

Awesome: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
- HELLO!!! MARIO AND SONIC... TOGETHER!!! Need I say more?
- The date it was announced made people think it was just an April Fools joke. Thats how unbelievable it was.
- Some of the Dream Events can make for some amazing scenes:
- Facing Perfect Chaos in the Dream Figure Skating event can count for some; the impact of this moment depends on which characters are used.
- Mario and Sonic riding a launch star, soaring through space together, and teaming up against Dino Piranha in Dream Spacewalk? Yes.
- The opening to all three games is this, but especially Knuckles gets at least one in all of them. (Throwing the javelin in the climax of the first Olympics, out-maneuvering bowser and Waluigi in a hockey match in Vancouver, and keeping the soccer ball away from Bowser, Vector and SHADOW in 2012)

No. A joint venture is an association of a DBE firm and one or more firms to carry out a single, for-profit business enterprise for which the parties combine their property, capital, skills and knowledge. Because a joint venture consists of businesses brought together temporarily, the joint venture itself cannot be certified.
However, with that said, a joint venture can receive DBE credit for a specific contract if the DBE partner of the joint venture meets the standards for an eligible DBE, and the DBE is responsible for a clearly defined portion of the work to be performed and shares in the ownership, control, management responsibilities, risks and profits of the joint venture. With that said, the joint venture cannot serve as an instrument to meet contract goals in instances where the DBE is not given the opportunity to exercise independent judgments.
Certification of a business can be a viable tool for developing and maintaining business relationships. Businesses seeking certification as a DBE in Maryland may want to consider obtaining legal advice concerning eligibility requirements for certification prior to applying for certification.

While most network administrators in the real world will not find the Zero Administration Kit's TaskStation and AppStation scenarios usable in their unmodified state, the manual devotes more space to the steps involved in deploying them than to the process of adapting them to an existing network environment. By exploring areas of the Windows NT infrastructure that have been neglected by most other books, Zero Administration for Windows demonstrates how to use the Zero Administration Kit as a potent system administration tool.This book concentrates on the techniques used by the ZAK, rather than on procedures specific to the scenarios the kit provides. For example, while there is coverage of the policy templates included with the ZAK, a significant amount of space is devoted to the syntax for creating customized policy templates that can be used to automate the registry changes necessary for applications not supported by the ZAK. The book also covers other techniques for building custom workstation configurations, such as the system differential files, registry dumps, and the syntax for installation and logon scripts and CMD files.Topics include:

"Had Me Fretting Until the End"
Beautifully written DARK GRITTY mystery/thriller, fabulously narrated and ultimately satisfying. A bit less beauty/noir would have moved the story along faster, but whether that would have made it better or not is a fine line only individual taste can determine (I'm less a fan of literature than one of great stories and have consequently graded on that preference). I would think this book has enough of both to satisfy most. A first read (listen) for me by either the author or the narrator, I'll be looking for more audio books featuring them both.
"Not Worth the Money"
I didn't like the story, some of the content is irresponsible and unnecessary. Wow, the lead is superman, can't be killed even when he is being fired at by 3 men with assault rifles. So farfetched it was not entertaining. The narrator is easy to listen to, but the story is junk.
"Good, but not close to the Dead books"
The writing was great, so was the narration. The subject just wasn't there. I can't put my finger on it?
I like crafts, gardening, reading and camping.
"Don't believe the other reviews....."
I like Adrian McKinty, I read his other books but was put off of this one because the reviews were not so good for this one but I LIKED IT. I enjoyed the flawed hero that redeams himself. I was very interested in his descriptions of life under 'catch'. Gerard Doyle made this story even more enjoyable with his accents, I loved the black cab driver.
"Gerard Doyle's narration is a perfect fit"
Adrian McKinty's follow-up to "Dead I May Well Be" is another wonderful read, literary and yet hard-boiled. Gerard Doyle, who did such a great job narrating McKinty's "Dead" trilogy does another bang-up job here. It's hard to imagine reading this one without his voice.
"OK, not as good as the Michael Forsythe series"
Same author and same narrator as the Michael Forsythe series, which is one of my favorites. The main character in this book, Alex, is not as likable, and the story is not as believable. OK overall read, not great. Narrator is wonderful. Love the accents.
Another excellent story by McKinty and great narration by Doyle. I enjoyed as much as the Dead series. Well worth the time !
"Pretty good."
I am a big fan of the Dead trilogy by the same author and also a big fan of the reader of this book. I liked the stories of the Dead series more than the narrator, for this novel, it is the opposite. Alex isn't as interesting or entertaining character as Michael.
"Hidden River"
This was a good listen after the style of other McGinty books I have listened to. The narrator is very good once again and paces the story well, is clear and understandable even with the Irish lilt. The different characters are clearly identified by the narrators voice and accent changes.
The main character does not get as sympathetic a review as Michael does in Dead I well May Be and The Dead Yard both of which were better books in my view. This audio book was nonetheless enjoyable.
"This fellow can write!"
We had a bit of a brogue at by the end, but the narration and writing were both outstanding. This is a clever, sharp writer and this book caused us to listen to his other two on Aubible. We will watch for more from this team of Adrian McKinty & Gerald Doyle. Well worth your time investment.

MEFANET 2015 Conference
9th international conference of Czech and Slovak faculties of medicine, focused on e-learning and medical informatics in the education of medical disciplines, Brno, 25–26 November 2015
The Czech Republic ranks among developed countries in cancer prevention
After many years of bad news, it seems that the Czech Republic is beginning to reap the benefits of the challenging fight against cancer. A programme of nationwide personalised invitations to cancer screening programmes has been launched, incidence trends of most cancer types – including the most common ones – have stabilised, and long-term survival rates of cancer patients have increased. Despite these encouraging facts, the Czech cancer care still faces challenges to be addressed, which might influence the lives of tens of thousands of current and future cancer patients.
Balance between the centralisation and availability of cancer care: Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses develops the European model of a Comprehensive Cancer Care Network
The Czech Republic has become a key player in European activities focusing on the development and assessment of cancer care; the Cancer Control Joint Action (CanCon) undoubtedly belongs to the most prestigious ones. Based on the Czech information system of cancer care, the Czech Republic has been selected as a model country for the development of a Comprehensive Cancer Care Network (CCCN). This part of the CanCon project is coordinated by Prof Lucio Luzzatto from the Tumour Institute of Tuscany (Istituto Toscano Tumori, ITT), who paid a visit to Brno on 24 April 2015 not only to learn about the Czech results up to now, but also about cancer research and health care provided to cancer patients in the Czech Republic in general, and in the South Moravian Region in particular.
Brief summary of research and publication activities by IBA MU in 2014
In 2014, the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses of the Masaryk University (IBA MU) continued in its long-term trend of analysing large amounts of data mainly from the clinical practice, participated significantly in the organisation of several conferences, and – last but not least – ensured teaching of undergraduate and graduate students of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Science.

Each day begins with a multi-course, gourmet breakfast accompanied by your choice of gourmet, loose teas or LavAzza coffee. The Inn also has three resident Yorkie mascots who are anxious to welcome you!

Everything about the Grace Manor Inn is great. Beautifully decorated, clean, great food, great service and very very nice owners. We stayed during Easter weekend. Another guest told us he been staying there every Easter weekend for almost 10 years.
It's located just off Monument Ave and about 3/4 mile from the Museum of Fine Art. Walk on Monument Ave to see all the beautiful architecture of "The Fan" district. Not too far from VCU and far enough to avoid students if you want to.
One of the owners also owns The Carytown Cupcake shop. We recommend a visit there for some great cupcakes. Take some to a park with a coffee for an afternoon picnic. Tell them you're staying at the Grace Manor Inn for a little discount.
Albert was really accommodating and let us keep our car parked at the Inn after checkout so we could stroll the Monument Ave Easter Parade. Super nice folks.

This is a beautiful house in a convenient, pleasant neighborhood. There's a nice-looking pool in the yard that was still open and beautifully clean in December! I didn't swim but it made me want to come back in the summer. The food was incredible. I really wish they had one suite with a king bed and would have been happy to pay more for it. Overall definitely recommended.
on December 04, 2014
Our stay was simply amazing! The Grace Manor Inn has so much to offer from a fabulous gourmet breakfast to a beautifully decorated sweet and don't forget the cute Yorkies that are exceptionally well behaved! A five-star experience to be sure! My husband and I cannot wait to return for our next visit.

We just finished a weekend in Richmond visiting our daughter. Neither of us had ever been there before and our stay at the Grace Manor was wonderful, the room was beautiful, breakfast was great and the host most gracious. I would recommend this inn to anyone who is visiting Richmond, you won't be disappointed!

Nothing better for this weary business traveler than... free city parking, being greeted upon arrival at my car, and having my suitcase carried to my room! Located just a few miles off the highway...No need to drive through the historic fan district to a chain hotel again - I plan to stay at the Grace Manor Inn when in Richmond. If you are hotel fatigued and want that home away from home feel this is your place. Walking distance to restaurants and VCU campus. Beautiful and safe neighborhood for morning or evening walk/run up Monument Street. My 3rd floor room was spotless, had an adjacent sitting room with TV, and a private bath. The bed was comfortable, linens crisp, and plenty of soft bath towels were provided. Oh and did i mention the beautiful back garden/patio/inground pool? - Wow! Thanks to Albert for the delicious parmesean eggs/asparagus breakfast (no powdered eggs here), his hospitatility, and for accomodating my earlier dining time. Hope to be back soon!

The Grace Manor Inn is a very nice house in the Fan District. We enjoyed the Shortte Suit very much. Loved the sitting room. Dawn and Albert we very gracious hosts and breakfasts were very yummy. After a long day of sight seeing around Richmond, the pool was a welcome cool down. And who can forget the Yorkies. So cute and friendly. Will definitely stay at the Grace Manor again. Thanks Albert and Dawn.
on May 27, 2014
Albert and Dawn are wonderful Innkeepers. The house fits all the elegance that a bed and breakfast should have. The location is excellent. Bring a swim suit as the back has a beautiful pool and sitting areas. My only suggestion would be that a mirror is put above the tall dresser in the Fenster-Davis suite. I am a tall gal and all the mirrors were too short for me and the lighting at the very charming sink in the room was too dim for a mirror. We enjoyed our stay and their recommendations and making a reservation for our dinner was very thoughtful. Thank you for a small fridge and wine glasses in the suite. Beth and David PS-have a wonderful journey this summer!

I can't say enough good things about this B&B. I would give it ten stars if I could. The place itself is beautiful and charming with it's original 1900's character. They keep it very clean and comfortable and the hospitality was unbelievable. They go out of their way to make everything wonderful for you. Our room had everything we could have possibly needed and more. The breakfast sealed the deal for me. As I sipped my mimosa in the dining room and waited for my first of three courses, I was positive I never wanted to leave. You know they are doing something right when you have had a jam packed day and you come back to a place that feels like home. Again, the host's were fantastic, and always made themselves available for you. They leave binders in your room full of places and restaurants they recommend, which I think is genius. We will have to come back when it's warmer so we can enjoy the beautiful pool area and fire pit. I feel like this will be a spot we will return to many times. My husband and I already call it "our place" in RIchmond and recommend it to everyone we know.
on May 11, 2014
This was a fantastic place. Our suite was beautiful, with brand new wooden floors, a bedroom and a sitting room, all in antique furnishings and antique rugs.
The breakfast was an experience. Albert, the owner, had a 3 course gourmet breakfast everyday prepared and served by himself, complete with mimosas and Bellinis. I am glad I didn't have to leave before his breakfast. We met other guests at the family style breakfast and enjoyed the conversation. One was a Navy engineer, one a librarian attending a genealogy convention.
I liked it so well, I wanted references to other B and B's in different parts of the country that shared this quality.

WE spent a weekend recently in Richmond, and stayed at the Grace Manor Inn......our stay was wonderful, Albert the innkeeper was so hospitable, friendly and accommodating....would recommend Grace Manor Inn very highly!

iCountdown beta for Windows released
iCountdown is a program for Windows that sits in your system tray and querys the Apple iTunes site for an updated total of downloads. When you hover your mouse over the icon it shows you the total. "I got the idea for the program from Brian (http://counter.eklektion.org/) who created a Mac program like iCountdown. I wouldn't have thought of writing my own version had it not been for adamh and todd2fs4u who posted comments asking for a windows version of Brian's 100MilCounter."

Tried to install it, told me that it needed to update some files. I pressed okay, then it said it needed to restart my computer and run setup again. So I did this, but I run setup again and I am right where i started…

Cool, downloaded again, and it's different and it works!! (no install this time just a standalone)
Would be nice to have the tray icon back and some commas in the numbers, as well as number left in the tool tip for the tray icon but I'm being way to picky :-)
Thanks very much to the developer!

This thing is popping up an ad for XSkn resellers.
SLEAZY. Developer, you just put me completely off anything you ever write, and anything Lajo ever sells, for all time.
The least you should do is warn people the software has a pop-up component.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on July 8, 2004 at 6:34 PM (CDT)
Strange about the pop-up? I've been runnung it for 2+ hours and have not seen a pop-up??
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on July 8, 2004 at 7:17 PM (CDT)
Definitely not my software causing popups. It must be something else on your computer. There's nothing I hate more that adware.
I'm working on getting the icon back and some other improvments. I'll add remaining songs to the tool tip.
I've also been thinking of notifications once certain points have been reached (say, 99,000,000, 99,900,000, and such). Please post any more sugestions you may have! :)

I just tried it and it just locks up on me. The status line says "Getting /main/includes/external_co…". I am thinking it is attempting to get the total count from Apple. I'm at my office and we are behind a proxy server. I am thinking that you program doesn't handle going through proxy servers. If you could add the ability to specify a proxy server, that'd be great.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on July 9, 2004 at 6:02 AM (CDT)
yeah! thank you mookie for stepping it up and takeing on the task of amiking the windows version. the only problem i have with your software is that my name is spelled wrong on your website.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on July 9, 2004 at 12:04 PM (CDT)
Here comes antoher version (If only all software updates came out this fast:D ). Version 0.3 beta allows you to change many config options. And, best of all.. it has an icon again! :D
See http://iCountdown.mookie.org/ for more details.
Shadow: Yeah, the proxy would stop it. I'll try to get proxy added to the next release (after the one I'm releasing today).
todd2fst4u: Changed :)

Day 6
Blue ridge parkway in the smoky mountains. Rode a stretch that was so narrow and as tight as anything on the dragon. Kent started the day with his shirt on backwards! Ha!! Cool up in the mountains , had to pull out a jacket! Great day! Heading out tomorrow back to Kentucky starting ...
Longer day than expected
... male labs. He was in LOVE with Bruce... but could of cared less about Missy (a smaller mix female)
5) Dolly Parton was everywhere. She has a highway named after her, a theme park... i think a splash park... it's just dolly dolly dolly.
6) Traffic was awful. Awful.
7) Moonshine from TN is no joke... I'm pretty sure you catch a buzz just from walking past the jar....
The night in TN was great, Phil and his family ...
Day 11 - Hiking, wasps, and cinema
The rain is over, partially cloudy weather - perfect for a hiking trip up to the water tower in the nearby mountains!
So, we take the (hand-drawn) map that we got, a container for collecting yummy blackberries, some water - and off we go!
Well, the hand-drawn map and the (completely non-existing) trail ...
Day 10 - Quiet day at the farm
... that day - but it doesn't matter. We sit at the porch of the Cafe and enjoy a tea and some quiet time.
Lots of wild life around us: bunnies, deer, fawn, fire flies, snakes,...
The kids served us boiled eggs, coffee, and tea in the morning.
Day 9 - 4th of July on an Appalachian Farm
... The farm crew, a few neighbor families, and us - there couldn't have been a better way spending the 4th of July day! The kids enjoyed performing songs and skits with their new friends.
Oh, by now we found out ...

A Duggar Girls Defense
Posted June 8, 2015on:
Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard, two of the victim sisters of Josh Duggar, broke their silence on The Kelly File Friday night. I watched, intently, to see how they spoke about their abuse, and how they reacted to personal questions regarding said abuse. And, do you know what I saw?
I saw tears, too, but not where I expected them.
I expected the girls to break down when they were asked about what their brother did. I expected them to react like I did — like so many of us do when we recount our abuse — with tears, anger, and yes, some bitterness that Josh Duggar stole something precious from them — their innocence.
But, they didn't.
Their body language was relaxed. They looked at ease through most of the interview. They smiled, laughed, and comfortably spoke about what took place in their home. It wasn't until the subject of the media was brought up that, at least, Jill's body language changed. She stiffened up and began to cry as she gave her personal feelings about the release of their sealed report. Jill recalled calling her husband on that day, over two weeks ago, when In Touch Magazine posted the police report for all the world to see.
"We're victims," Jill Duggar Dillard exclaimed. "How can they do that to us?"
Jill continued to fight back her emotions as she explained how they felt they were being re-victimized "a thousand times worse" than the original offense. She, and sister Jessa, both said multiple times, "We had already dealt with it, we moved on. Josh confessed to us, we forgave him; we moved on."
So, why can't America let it go?
Is it because we are disgusted with this kind of "sin"? As well we should be. As one who has endured years of childhood sexual abuse, I can say first hand that molestation is disgusting. It is vile. It is reprehensible. Repulsive. Repugnant. Vicious. Nasty. Shocking. Appalling. And, yes, contemptible. A lot of the posts I have seen over the past few weeks express those very words. Some would like nothing better than to take Josh Duggar out behind the woodshed and execute him. We have no problem understanding, or accepting, the words that express our disgust of Josh's actions. We applaud those words. We exhort those words. But, there is another word we've heard that makes us just as mad as Josh Duggars actions against his sisters and baby sitter. A word that infuriates us and enrages us, and causes us to strike out in shock and disbelief that such a word could even be muttered over such a reprobate .
WHAT? Forgiven? How could anyone forgive what he has done? He's a pig. A worm. He doesn't deserve to live. I've seen the words written all over the internet, newspaper sites, blog posts, Facebook statuses, Twitter feeds… they've all basically said the same thing. "Josh Duggar is a vile human being, and therefore must be punished in a manner that is acceptable to us."
But, we don't get to make that call, do we?
Josh didn't molest us, he molested his sisters and baby sitter, and they are the only ones who get to determine whether or not he is forgiven. Period. And they chose to forgive him.
Deal with it, America.
I was very impressed by Jill and Jessa. They have given us a peek into something holy. A humble, beautiful example of Agape Love. True love that covers a multitude of sin (1 Peter 4:8). Along with a heart of love, they have given us a clear example of what true forgiveness looks like. A perfect example of how our LORD, Jesus Christ, treats every one of us who repent and turn from our sin to follow him.
The Duggar girls aren't angry. The don't exhibit signs of bitterness. They aren't bashing their brother. Instead, their words toward him are seasoned with grace and mercy. They have said they have dealt with it, they have forgiven him, and they have moved on.
I believe them.
Is it possible, the reason we are so outraged is because we just expect the Duggar girls to feel the same way we do over our own abuses (or how we feel over a family member/friend who was abused)? And, because they don't we think there must be something wrong with them?
I mean, who does that?
Victims forgive.
Because forgiveness doesn't release the offender from the responsibility of his or her actions, rather, it releases the victim from the prison of emotional upheaval and life altering issues caused by the offenders actions.
The Duggar girls understand this.
They don't need our help. No matter how much we think our two cents (even this blog post) is spot on, they don't need our help. They've got it covered. And, they don't need the internet counseling sessions. Their family dealt with Josh's abuse. DCFS cleared the parents, and even complimented them on how they handled the situation. And, certainly, the girls don't need our criticism for their right to forgive their brother.
These girls have suffered twice now.
It's time to allow them the dignity to live their own lives with their own convictions.
Jesus was Full of It.
Posted April 5, 2015on:
Jesus was full of it. Every where he went he showed compassion to those who flocked toward him. He was especially compassionate toward children. And, children responded with joy. I can see them giggling and smiling, all wanting Jesus to pick them up or let them sit on his lap. I'm sure Jesus smiled at each child who unabashedly ran to him.
The Disciples rebuked the parents who brought their children to Jesus. But, Jesus rebuked them. He said,
"Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to people like these." Matthew 19:14
In this video you will meet little Judah. His mother shares his story, and how the illness he was born with, inspired her to sponsor a child through Compassion International.
That is why I am writing today.
Those of you who have followed me, and continue to read my blog in spite of the fact I have allowed way too much time to pass from the last time I posted, will begin to see blog posts about Compassion International. I have recently become a Compassion Blogger, and encourage each of you to do a couple of things after watching the video and reading this blog.
Jesus said if we give just a cup of cold water to a child in need, in his name, we certainly would not lose our reward (Mark 9:41). There are so many children who grow up in profound poverty and do not have access to decent healthcare. Many of them suffer with the same ailment as little Judah does. But, you can help.
1. Go to Compassion International and,
2. Sponsor a child today.
Jesus was full of it..
Are you?
Tell Me About Your Childhood
Posted December 3, 2014on:
I was 28 years old with two children, ages one and two, and five months pregnant with my third when I met with a counselor. I needed courage to leave my abusive husband and thought I could find some there.
Counselor: "Tell me about your childhood."
Me: (Thinking what does my childhood have to do with anything?) "Well, it was a childhood. You know… normal."
Counselor: "It was happy??
Me: "I don't know. It was… norm… (a dam of memories breaks open in my mind)… wait, no, that's not right."
Counselor: "What isn't right"?
Me: "My childhood. It wasn't normal. I was mo… (there is a flood of emotions rising to the surface)… I was mol… (I am having trouble saying the word. My throat is closing off my words. Tears are choking me). I was molested"!
As that realization tumbled to the forefront of my mind, I felt as though my life shattered into a million tiny pieces. Each shard stabbing me with it's truth. As the details began spilling out, my soul felt like it was being ripped apart. The pain was excruciating. Unbearable.
I don't know how long I cried, but when I calmed down he asked…
Counselor: "How have you handled all of that"?
The truth is, most of us don't know how to "handle" what we've been through. We've turned to food, sex, drugs, alcohol, self harm — other avenues to dull the pain. We don't want to feel that kind of pain so we stuff it further and further down by any other thing that makes us feel better.
The other part of the truth is, this: We can't heal unless we allow the reality of abuse, and the pain, to rise to the surface. To be validated. To be known. To be released.
No matter how painful it is, facing our past needs to be done in order to heal. Mine pounced on me while looking for an ounce of courage. I'm glad it did because today, the pain is no more.
What God has done for me, he WILL do for you!
Whispers in the Dark
Posted November 17, 2014on:
Many nights, throughout my life, were filled with deep sorrow, hours of shed tears, and my mouth open in silent screams. I didn't know how to verbalize what I felt inside. Dead. Betrayed. Hurt. Shattered. Alone. Desperate. Needy. Just tears and silent screams. I don't remember saying too much, except, "Oh, God." But, God still heard me, and understood. It was during this time I wrote the following:
Whispers in the Dark
The darkest, quietness of night
In stillness as you lay;
The only sound or rhythm heard
Are words your mouth can't say.
The tears that burn your sleepy eyes
A fist in anger clenched;
The cry that asks "Why me, Oh Lord?"
The soul, in anguish drenched.
And though it can't be verbalized
Into a single word;
A whisper's heard with every beat
Your heart is being heard.
God hears you, Beloved. Even though you think he has ignored you. Even when you think he doesn't care. But wait, if you listen long enough, you can hear it. In the stillest, quietness of night, the heart will whisper the tale of its journey to its Creator. And, there in the darkness…God is whispering back.

A Secret Safe to Tell
Posted August 19, 2014on:
I would like to take a few minutes to introduce to you, Naomi Hunter, and her newly released book, "A Secret Safe to Tell." Take a few minutes to head on over to her Author page and "Like" it. Look around, and then purchase a copy for yourself and your children, your nieces and nephews, your friends children!
As a survivor of Childhood Sexual Assault myself, I would have loved to have had a book like this to encourage me during a very confusing time. As it is, I did not tell anyone until my late 30's.
Naomi has taken a highly emotional and sensitive subject, and written simply, but effectively; having the ability to speak to a child on his or her level. Her words are a gentle encouragement to any child going through CSA to speak up. That is is okay, and SAFE to tell a secret of this nature.
"A Secret Safe to Tell," as well as, the illustrations is done well. Any parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle can use this book as a tool to instruct children about inappropriate touching and child grooming.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough! "A Secret Safe to Tell." Our children and grandchildren can only benefit!

Whispers From My Heart — Emotional and Spiritual Healing from Childhood Sexual Assault

Even the Likes of Me
Posted May 28, 2014on:
I point my finger at my chest, and question, almost in utter disbelief. "Surely, you don't mean me?"
"Yes," He said. "I do mean you."
I tried to wrap my head around that thought. Me. A Jew asking me, a Samaritan for a drink?
I continue to draw water into the earthen pot. I didn't expect to see anyone here. Usually, I make a point to come to the well long after the other women have gone. I don't like the looks they give me… or the contempt – I have enough of that for myself. I really don't need them to tell me what a failure I am. All I have to do is go back home to a man I am not even married to, or think about the amount of suffering I have endured from the hands of men since my childhood. Men using me for their own gratification. These women only care to see the outside, and they will assume what they want to assume. They don't care to look beneath the surface. But, this man speaks to me of secret things he could not possibly know about me. His words strike my heart. My soul is set ablaze by the words he speaks. I want to hear more.
As I ponder his words, I offer him a drink. How does this man know these things about me? He doesn't look familiar. I don't believe I have seen him here before. Certainly, as a Jew, he is breaking all the rules of the traditions the Jews hold in high esteem. Ha. Ha. Can you imagine what the other women would think about this?
"If you knew who it is speaking to you, you would instead ask me for Living Water. This is the water, that, if you drink of it, you will never thirst again."
"Are you serious"? The words came out so fast, I couldn't stop them. I slapped my hand over my mouth. It was the strangest concept I have ever heard! "Sir, are you telling me I could drink this water and, magically never thirst again? That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. You have nothing with which to draw water from the well. How am I to taste of this water, sir? Are you greater than Jacob, our Father, who gave us this well? Please, sir, give me a taste!"
His eyes were gentle. His face kind. "First," He said, "go and get your husband." His eyes penetrated my soul with such love and warmth, I felt as though my insides were melting.
"My husband?" I stammered. "Sir, I do not have a husband."
"You have spoken the truth. You have had 5 husbands, and the man you are with now is not your own."
I dropped my pot to the ground as his words penetrated my heart, yet again. His words burning my whole being. He bent to steady the vessel for me. "You must be a prophet, sir. You know, our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you Jews claim the only place to worship is in Jerusalem."
Believe me, woman, a time is coming when those who worship God won't worship him on this mountain, or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship, yet you do not really know who it is you worship. We worship God whom we know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet, I tell you the time has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. These are the true worshipers the Father seeks. Do you understand that God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth?"
"I know, sir, the Messiah will come, and when he does, he will explain it all to us." My heart skipped a beat. For the first time I could see a smile spread across his face. A twinkle lit his eyes.
"I, the one speaking to you now – I am he."
Such profound words falling upon my ears. I didn't notice the Disciples walk up. The realization of who I was talking to was still sinking into my heart and soul. Somehow, I already knew. In the way his words cut right through me; straight to the heart.
The Disciples didn't seem pleased Jesus was talking to a Samaritan, and a woman at that! But they didn't say a word. They just looked on with eyes wide open. But, I didn't care. The Messiah was standing right in front of me! The One who was coming to free us all. He was here, speaking to me, a woman of great sin.
I have to go. I must run back to my village and let them know who is here and how he has come to set us free! The Messiah is here! And he has chosen me, a woman of lowly stature, and ill repute, to go and preach the Kingdom of the Gospel of Christ.
Do you see what he has done? He has come, even for the likes of me. An outcast of society, he has come to save. He has come.
If you recognize this story, it is from John chapter 4, "The Woman at the Well." An idea of the conversation that may have taken place on that day.
