Political Parties and Political Jokes
David Letterman's Top Ten Lists were masterpieces of comedy. If he had a top ten list titled "Top Ten Signs Your Political Party is a Joke", then the number one reason would almost certainly be "Your most popular candidate is Write-In". The results are still fresh, but that outcome is not likely to change for the American Independent "Party" in Ventura County. The screen grabs below show that candidate Write-In is the top vote getter for this political "party".
As of this writing, the total votes cast in Ventura County were 81,991. This means the American Independent Party received 1.3% of the total votes cast, The Green Party 0.2%, and the Libertarian Party 0.5%. These statistics and the popularity of the respective write-in candidates overwhelmingly support the notion that the majority of the people in the AIP are the ones who erroneously confused its name with the unaffiliated voter designation. They likely wrote in Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as a result. The math then means that the AIP chosen candidates garnered a mere 0.4% of the vote.
Does this make the Green Party a joke? After all, a hoax played on the public is attracting more votes than a party that has been active for over 20 years.
The strangest thing is that the Libertarians–people who are so obsessed with their own point of view–miraculously found enough consensus to support one candidate.
Of course, since none of these parties seems to have attracted more than 1% of the vote even statewide (results are all the way on the bottom, with 22% of precincts reporting), every single one is, frankly, a joke. We Americans like power and powerful parties. We seem to like it that way because we enjoy complaining about them. The fact that we distance ourselves from idealists who will undoubtedly irreparably disrupt the scantly orderly society we have speaks volumes the wisdom of the American masses.
Unless there is a President Trump.
On second thought, maybe the greatest joke is a party that traces its roots to the abolition of slavery has managed to select a bigot as its leader.

Luxe: The End of the Second Tech Boom
The fatality is terribly sad, but it highlights the fact that tech entrepreneurs are scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas. Valet parking is little more than a peculiar appeal to the common man's ego. Why would anyone want to undercut the patchwork of small businesses that use this gimmick to earn a meager living? Uber disrupted the taxi service, but they arguably provided opportunities for many people. Air B 'n B is finding opportunity at a time when hotel vacancies are very low. Luxe is trying to make poor people poorer, it would seem.
The app economy is very quickly becoming very boring.
The on-demand valet parking service says it's the first fatality involving one of its drivers since it started in October 2014. The accident comes weeks after the San Francisco company secures $50 million in financing.
Whom to Blame for This Stupidity
I may well miss my flight because the security line in the United terminal is a mile long. As if that weren't bad enough, a construction worker accidentally tripped a security alarm. Their solution? Put a piece of turquoise duct tape over the alarm.
LAX is a fucking embarrassment, yet it actually gets worse every time I travel through this joke of an airport. I'm beginning to fear for my life. How can anything task performed in this chaos be completed with any level of confidence?
Whether it's the fault of United Airlines, TSA or the goddamn shithead Los Angeles politicians who insist in cramming every single flight into LAX instead of distributing them over the numerous airports in the county, little excuse can be made for this fucking embarrassment of an airport. Will LA's slide into a pathetic third world city ever stop?
Microsoft Still Suffers from Persistence of Legacy Systems
About 10 years ago, pictures of crashed ATMs and other public systems that operate on Windows NT and XP were the subject of much ridicule for Microsoft because, well, Wimdows stability was quite inadequate for demanding applications. Now that Windows is quite an excellent operating system–with Windows 10 wrapping one of the fastest and most stable operating systems ever in the worst graphical user interface in the history of GUIs–one wonders if Microsoft is expending any effort in getting legacy systems like the one below at New Orleans airport upgraded or moved out of circulation.
No, Microsoft no longer sucks, but it's still fun to mock them as if they do.

Not Enough Entertainment, Damn It
American Express released its annual analysis of my spending for the tax year gone by (2015), and in it is an absolutely pathetic amount spent on entertainment. Given that a good portion of the travel expenses noted therein was for business travel, one can see that I was quite deprived of entertainment this past year, my cash expenditures on entertainment notwithstanding.
Never thought I'd become a workaholic, or even confess to it.
Shkreli is sued over his $2 million Wu-Tang Clan album
Marin Shkreli is proud of–even smug about–every single act that distinguishes him as a singularly depraved, morally bankrupt and rude human being. The fact that the governing boards of several large corporations have appointed this idiot to run their companies is probably even more shocking. When will the focus of the investigations shift to the incompetent or corrupt corporate boards that betray their shareholders' interests by giving this imbecile employment?
$2 million for a Wu-Tang Clan album? Are you kidding me? Maybe corporate America should focus on eradicating such stupidity from its ranks before it starts complaining about federal government waste.
Or, maybe the SEC's sluggish expurgation of such morons from corporate ranks should be the only Federal inefficiency that the corporate world should bemoan.
Martin Shkreli faces a new legal headache, a lawsuit claiming that his $2 million Wu-Tang Clan album contains illustrations ripped off from a New York artist, who now wants the former drug executive to pay for them.

Goodbye Charter, Hello DSLExtreme (or AT&T)
This year, my complaints to Charter fell on deaf ears and they refused to lower the top tier monthly rate of $60 that they were charging me for an internet connection. Fortunately, AT&T is finally rolling out its improved DSL service to Ventura, and I signed up. I shaved my monthly bill down to $45 by subscribing through DSLExtreme, who allowed me to buy the modem in order to avoid monthly rental dues. So, I quit Charter's service, much to their apparent disappointment.
I'm getting slightly more than one-third the throughput of Charter's service at 22 megabits/s, but this is enough. Economists tout the virtues of competition. If enough of my neighbors abandon Charter for DSL service, then maybe Charter will begin to compete for customers in Ventura, instead of taking everyone for granted.
That's the only recourse the consumer has in a deregulated marketplace.

Looking At The Super 16 - NHL.com Style
by Paul on 10/04/13 at 08:28 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Corey Masisak of NHL.com,
Here is the first installment of the Super 16, with the caveat that we know about as much as, well, Jon Snow does at this point:
1. Chicago Blackhawks (1-0-0)
The narrative for the 2013-14 season in the Windy City is pretty simple: The champs have a much, much better chance of repeating than the 2010-11 team did....
2. Los Angeles Kings (1-0-0)
The Kings are a great defense-and-goaltending team, but (Jeff) Carter, along with Anze Kopitar, provides the dynamic touch that can set them apart from other teams with a similar style.
3. Detroit Red Wings (1-0-0)
This is an aggressive ranking, but if the NHL gave out a fifth-place medal each season, the Red Wings, who pushed the eventual champions to seven games in the second round, certainly earned such an honor in 2012-13. The travel is going to be easier, the defense corps is going to be a year older and a few of the young players up front are going to have a chance to make more of an impact.
more on each of the above teams plus the rest of the Super 16...

It's usable, but Poppy sounds like something you call your grandfather...Alice / Mary / Helen / Rosa / Georgia

My stepdad's grand kids call him Poppy. But it still sounds like a girls name to me. A cute one. A bit too cute for my taste but still usable.
I can imagine it being maybe a LITTLE bit more difficult to use in areas with a large Hispanic population, since "papi" means daddy and sometimes in a flirtatious or lascivious way. "Ay, papi," etc.
That's the only even remotely sexual connotation I can think of for it. And it doesn't make the name unusable anywhere in the States, really.Mrs. H.

I love Poppy! I think it's so adorable, and I love the idea of Lucy, Ruby, and Poppy as sisters. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm extremely naive when it comes to sexual matters, haha, but I really can't think of anything sexual connected to Poppy?

The Veteran's Day/ANZAC thing makes me think of dead soldiers. A field of flowers is a pretty image in itself, but the red poppies for the blood-soaked battlefields and cemetaries is pretty morbid.
Putting aside the war image, there's opium.
I dunno, poppies seem one of the more problematic flowers. I couldn't use it. And I'm the sort that likes Lily/Daisy/Violet kind of names.
It's quite popular here in Australia though.

Traditionally I use FireBug to debug my AJAX requests. It lets you examine both the contents of your request as well as the response that was sent back from the server. (it also notifies you in the console when these occur, which is a useful feature that Chrome seems to lack).
In Chrome, I only seem to be able to view the requests, not the responses. When I try to examine the response the UI just displays "No Content Available" (Developer Tools > Resources > myRequest.php > Content). Do I have to turn something on to make the Chrome developer tools remember these requests?

YAFU factors a 100 digit number for me…
On Friday, I left YAFU factoring a 100 digit number. I returned to find that it had discovered:
57790 93002 97410 10009 81807 59480 96292 62385 64081 79034 01512 68667 60949 55202 41611 02063 00992 86747 29621 36069 = 85404 41503 10330 70274 85067 33621 20528 36393 71759 33321 * 67667 37996 94567 83271 38746 19751 00109 79749 75402 10589
It took about 7.6 hours of compute time.
Addendum: I was reading "Factoring by electronic mail", a 1990 paper by Lenstra and Manasse, and they listed some times for factorization of some large numbers. In Table 4, they list a bunch of challenging numbers, including the 93 digit composite factor of 7139+1. Their system took 13 days. YAFU was able to factor it in about 70 minutes on my current desktop machine:
Total factoring time = 4283.6700 seconds ***factors found*** P1 = 2 P1 = 2 P1 = 2 P3 = 557 PRP22 = 5312442648966139012589 PRP57 = 651666519182971782190402264651775450396158503528225547931 PRP36 = 190705279598948669274660288301207361
It found the small primes via trial division, the 22 digit prime factor via the ECM method, and then churned the rest out using the quadratic sieve.
On Factoring, by Jevons' The Principles of Science
While reading the section on factorization of large numbers in Knuth's Seminumerical Algorithms, I encountered a reference to an interesting claim by William Stanley Jevons. I did a google search, and found it in google books:
Knuth was quick to point out that the number that he gave was easily factorable in short order (even by hand, even in Jevons' day) using Fermat's method. I of course just handed it to the little program I wrote, and it instantly returned
8,616,460,799 = 89,681 * 96,079
Addendum: How does Fermat's method work? You basically try to express the prime as the difference of two squares. Let's say that the prime P = u * v. If P = x^2 - y^2, then P = (x + y) (x - y), so the two factors u = x + y and v = x - y. You start by setting x to be just above the sqrt(P), and compute x*x - P. If the remainder is a square, then you have have two factors. Knuth gives several hints on how you could avoid testing many possible squares, but even acting trivially, you would only have to try 55 numbers before finding that...
8616460799 = 92880**2 - 3199**2 8616460799 = 96079 * 89681
Addendum: Lehmer factored this number in 1903. Golomb apparently had a Cryptologia article showing how it could be easily factored with a hand calculator, but I don't want to pay $37 to get the 3 page reprint.
A Simple Python Program for Factoring…
Sometimes, your interests converge. Over on Programming Praxis, he had a coding challenge to implement Monte Carlo factorization. The last couple of days, I have been thinking a bit more about factorization, so it seemed like a good idea to give it a whack. I cribbed a version of the Rabin Miller primality tester off the web, and then coded the rest up in python.
#!/usr/bin/env python # # a basic implementation of the Pollard rho factorization # Written by Mark VandeWettering <email@example.com> # import sys import locale import random class FactorError(Exception): def __init__(self, value): self.value = value def __str__(self): return repr(self.value) def miller_rabin_pass(a, n): d = n - 1 s = 0 while d % 2 == 0: d >>= 1 s += 1 a_to_power = pow(a, d, n) if a_to_power == 1: return True for i in xrange(s-1): if a_to_power == n - 1: return True a_to_power = (a_to_power * a_to_power) % n return a_to_power == n - 1 def isprime(n): for repeat in xrange(20): a = 0 while a == 0: a = random.randrange(n) if not miller_rabin_pass(a, n): return False return True def gcd(a, b): while b != 0: a, b = b, a%b return a def findfactor(n): for c in range(1, 50): x = y = random.randint(1, n-1) x = (x * x + c) % n y = (y * y + c) % n y = (y * y + c) % n while True: t = gcd(n, abs(x-y)) if t == 1: x = (x * x + c) % n y = (y * y + c) % n y = (y * y + c) % n elif t == n: break else: return t raise FactorError("couldn't find a factor.") def factor(n): r = [] while True: if isprime(n): r.append(n) break try: f = findfactor(n) r.append(f) n = n / f except FactorError, msg: r.append(n) break r.sort() return r def doit(n): flist = factor(n) print locale.format("%d", n, True), "=" for f in flist: print "\t%s" % locale.format("%d", f, True) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") doit(2**98-1)
This is a fairly challenging factorization, and after a few seconds, it outputs:
316,912,650,057,057,350,374,175,801,343 = 3 43 127 4,363,953,127,297 4,432,676,798,593
Use a Wii Balance Board with Linux
An interesting part of the Nintendo Wii design is that they rely on bluetooth for connecting their joysticks and (as it turns out) their Balance Board peripheral. This makes them pretty darned hackable. I've seen lots about using the "WiiMote" with computers, but this is the first I've seen that interfaces with the Balance Board. Nifty.

Factoring Large Numbers…
A few days ago, I mentioned that I was pondering the stages of Simon Singh's Cipher Challenge that I didn't complete "back in the day". I was examining the DES portion, which still seems like it would take a while to solve, so I decided to skip ahead and figure out what the final stage was like. It seems to require the factoring of a 155 digit number. A bit of research reveals that such a number is still a pretty darned hard thing to factor. But while toying around, I downloaded YAFU, and tried to factor some numbers on my AMD machine. It took about an hour and a half to factor this 91 digit product of two primes:
22341447307961894892019996002707152857987347 =
411268404095925771725738109950909913561283687 * 3448123407928803465744207062833069247853720181
This corresponds to about a 300 bit RSA key.
It can factor 60 digit products in about 10 seconds.
Breaking Stage 10 of the Challenge requires factoring this 155 digit
10742 78829 12665 65907 17841 12799 42116 61266 39217 94753 29458

Looking back at Michael Jackson
Today came the news that Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop, died of cardiac arrest at age 50. Yes, I was a fan. Who wasn't in the eighties? He was absolutely brilliant. He brought the combination of music, choreography, and film making together to completely change the landscape of pop music and television.
As I was driving home, I was listening to some of his songs on the radio, and I was remembering all the great video moments. The natural question was: what was his best video? It's hard to argue with Thriller, but I think Black and White, Scream and Smooth Criminal are also good suggestions. Oh, and Billy Jean... Oh heck. I'm curious. What do you all think?

Magic Lantern Firmware for the Canon 5D
I'm a huge fan of gadgets which have the possibility of open source third party updates. I have a couple of Linksys routers that I've reflashed with DDWRT and/or Tomato and/or OpenWRT. I've played with the NSLU2. I have a Canon SD1100 which I run CHDK.
Today, I discovered another interesting one:
This is firmware for the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR to adapt it to the specific needs of film makers. While the 5D is nominally intended as a still camera, it has many advantages when compared to equivalently priced setups when used as a motion picture camera. This firmware is designed to expand this use considerably. Very cool.

Mmm… Cobbler
I like cooking. Well, eating really. Okay, eating and cooking. But in particular, I like what is generally called comfort food. The silly thing about most restaurants is that they don't do a very good job of making comfort food. If you really want comfort food, the best way is to learn how to make it yourself.
When I was a kid, we used to pick blackberries and huckleberries, and my grandmother would turn them into delicious pies and my special favorite: cobbler. Oh, and strawberry rhubarb. Oooh, or apple cobbler. Served with creme. Or a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. Yum.
Why am I musing about this? Surfing while hungry...

Taking my own code challenge…
Back in 2007, I made a blog post entitled "Code Challenge", where I put forth a code challenge.
Nobody took the challenge. But what was slightly odder was that I had no recollection of making this challenge, or even what type of cipher it was. The only clue that I had was that it was apparently in response to an episode of the increasingly mediocre television show Numb3rs.
So, I considered it a challenge sent from past Mark to future Mark. The first thing I had to do was to try to identify the type of cipher. I had made this posting in June of 2007, and I guessed that I would have been watching episodes from that season (season 3) but possibly in reruns. I relatively quickly located "The Janus List" and its "straddling checkerboard cipher" as the likely method. Indeed, reading the description of the cipher (try this blog entry for details) it began to come back to me.
So, I tried to think of how to crack it. Here's the insight. The straddling checkerboard cipher is essentially a simple subsitution cipher, except that each character is either encoded into one or two characters. What makes it easy is that there are eight single character letters, and twenty double character letters, but all double character letters start with one of the two non-single character letters. So, you can proceed by guessing what those two prefix characters are, and then scanning through the message. If you get more than 26 (or 28, if you include period and slash as most straddling checkerboard implementations do), then you know you haven't gotten the right answer. But a quick look at the single letter frequencies in my case indicated that the characters 6 and 8 were vastly more frequent than the other characters, so I guessed that those were the right characters. When I busted the cipher up into characters, I ended up with 23 distinct symbols, which seemed entirely appropriate. I could then assign a random letter to each of those 23 symbols, and I'd have a simple cryptogram.
Here's the resulting cryptogram:
Mind you, I might have accidently assigned a letter to itself here, so it's not quite like a normal cryptogram. But it isn't hard to make some guesses. 'I' is the most common letter, so is probably E. The last three characters are TTM, which implies a double letter right at the end, which suggested LLY. The double letter digraph FF occurs three times, which suggests that F might map to S. Putting these together makes the last word to look like SuccESSluLLY. Wow! U and C both look like they map to themselves. L is F. The message starts TraS, which suggests THIS. R becomes H, A becomes I. Now we have traction, K is A, S is M, V is G...
It's a short skip and a jump to the complete decode:
Apparently, I was tenacious enough.
iPhone 3GS: My Early Experience
Well, my iPhone 3GS arrived on Friday, and I've had a couple of days of tinkering with it, so I thought I'd give my impressions about what's cool.
First off, it's a G3 phone (I previously had the first generation, EDGE only phone) so it's networking is significantly faster. Combined with the processor speed increase, it's really quite snappy. Email downloads faster, and displays faster. Google maps loads and updates quickly, zooming in and out nearly as fast as you can gesture. Even large webpages seem to load up nicely. Speed is nice.
The second thing I noticed immediately seems trivial: the screen is coated with an "oleophobic" coating, which means that it repels grease. It really works, and should be standard on all touch screen devices. My old iPhone was continually smudged by fingerprints, the new one looks great!
iPhone 3G owners have had the benefit of a true GPS for quite some time, but it was new to me, and works well. The iPhone 3GS is also augmented by a digital compass, which is frankly of little use to most of us, but might be useful in some later user applications.
It also has the iPhone 3.0 OS that was just recently released, so it now supports the advanced stereo Bluetooth headsets. Carmen has one for her Google phone, which I tested and it appears to work just fine.
The camera gets a nice upgrade to 3.2GS, and includes video capture, editing and upload to YouTube. That functionality all seems to work quite well (I'll shoot some video shortly as well as some pictures as example). The camera also has autofocus, and can focus down to short distances. Both are nice improvements.
For me, the upgrade was a no-brainer really, and I'm quite pleased. I loved my old iPhone, and I love my new iPhone. The couple of gripes that I have are mostly with pricing. I was eligible for upgrading the phone for the $199 price (I got the 16gb model) which was good, but I ordered this through Apple which means I got hit with sales tax on the full price of the phone, resulting in a fifty something dollar sales tax. Ouch. And, of course AT&T slaps you with an $18 activation as well as an $18 upgrade fee, which seems like at least like they should waive one of those for customers who've been sending them substantial sums of money for the previous two years. So, it's not cheap, but no smart phone is.
Revisiting Simon Singh's Cipher Challenge…
The other day, my friend Jeff sent me an email detailing the latest benchmarking of his new 8 core Intel box. He had written a program to compute return rates for all possible draws in video poker. A few years ago, this program had taken a month of computer time to complete, and he wondered how how quickly it would run on his new box. The answer: around 12 hours.
This got me thinking back to my experience using Simon Singh's "Cipher Challenge" that I did back in 2000. I hadn't tried to solve Stage 9, because at the time it seemed a daunting task, requiring computational resources far in excess of what I had at the time. But Jeff's email got me thinking, so I decided to run an experiment: how long would it really take?
I didn't have a fast, optimized DES implementation of my own, so I decided to dig around. It turns out that OpenSSL contains an implementation of DES, and a few minutes of writing some code verified that it could actually decode the challenge message. So, the question was: how long would it take to break this code?
Stage 8 had revealed 8 of the 56 key bits, leaving a keyspace of 2^48 entries left (about 281 trillion entries). So, I coded up a small test program that did a million DES_set_key calls, followed by a decryption of the message. I found that it took about 21 microseconds to do a test. On average, we'll search half the keyspace (around 140 trillion keys) before we find the key, so if you multiply it out, you get.... 93.65 years. We have eight cores, which brings it down to about 11.7 years. Not so good...
But here's the thing: we probably don't have to really decode the entire message. If we believe that the output is ASCII, then each of the output bytes should have the top bit clear. Any block which doesn't have this feature indicates our key is on the wrong track. The odds of getting all those bits clear by random chance is one in 256. If we try to only decode the first six blocks, then our chance that we got something wrong is about one in 2^48th, which is just about the size of the keyspace, so we'd probably wouldn't see very many false positives. If we modify the rule to just check the first six blocks, then it only takes about 1.16 microseconds to do a key set and a decode. Now my single machine can get the run time down to 236 days. Still pretty darned slow actually. It's clear that openssl's DES implementation isn't really up to the task. I suspect that there are software implementations which are several times faster than this. I'll try to dig one up and see what could really be done.
Addendum: When I got home, I dug up a copy of Eric Young's libdes library, and ran some basic speed tests using the "speed" program that's part of the distributions. I wasn't running it on the same machine, so the numbers aren't directly comparable, but my home machine quite a bit slower. Nevertheless, I got some interesting numbers:
[chessboard] % ./speed Doing set_key for 10 seconds 29270676 set_key's in 10.00 seconds Doing des_encrypt's for 10 seconds 54502334 des_encrypt's in 9.93 second Doing des_cbc_encrypt on 1024 byte blocks for 10 seconds 402292 des_cbc_encrypt's of 1024 byte blocks in 10.00 second Doing des_ede_cbc_encrypt on 1024 byte blocks for 10 seconds 146870 des_ede_cbc_encrypt's of 1024 byte blocks in 10.01 second Doing crypt for 10 seconds 1731166 crypts in 9.92 second set_key per sec = 2927067.60 ( 0.342uS) DES raw ecb bytes per sec = 43909231.82 ( 0.182uS) DES cbc bytes per sec = 41194700.80 ( 0.194uS) DES ede cbc bytes per sec = 15024463.54 ( 0.532uS) crypt per sec = 174512.70 ( 5.730uS)
If you add the set_key time to 48 times the raw ecb encode, you get about 9 microseconds. Using both of its two cores, that works out to about 20 years. That's about 31 times slower, or nearly 8x slower per core.
No early iPhone joy in Mudville
The blogosphere was atwitter with the news that many iPhone 3GSs seemed to have shipped early, and indeed might be delivered early. I checked mine, and found that it had indeed arrived in Anchorage yesterday afternoon, but alas, checking it's status today online met me with the following screen on UPS's website:
So, it looks like mine will likely arrive on the 19th, just as they had originally claimed. Quel dommage.
10m opening up perchance?
I haven't really been monitoring 10m very much, but I've been hearing more about activity there, so I tuned up tonight and caught VE7MTY/B coming in pretty darned well. Check out the .mp3 file:

NOAA Satellite Frequencies
I haven't been goofing around much with receiving APT weather satellite data, but I was going to try to record some passes now that the days are longer and we get more daylight passes over North America. But I hadn't programmed the frequencies into my radio, and was forced to look them up. So, here they are, all in one place, for future reference:
|137.500 Mhz
|137.620 Mhz
|137.100 Mhz

Matt Blaze: Security and Human Behavior 2009
For all the people who've come to see this as my ham radio blog, I apologize, but I do have other interests, and computer security is one of them. It's not that I am any kind of expert, but I have played around quite a bit with various bits of computer security and cryptography over the years, and enjoy reading up on it. Recently a small interdisciplinary workshop was held at MIT on this subject, and Matt Blaze was kind enough to make recordings of the workshop. I'm loading these onto my iPhone (perhaps the last thing new it will see before my new iPhone 3GS arrives!) Haven't checked the audio quality yet, but hopefully the sessions will be interesting...

My boyfriend and I stayed here for four days, and everything was perfect start to finish. We arrived a bit late due to weather conditions and driving, but the staff was great and overly welcoming. The man who helped us with our luggage was the best! It was cold as ever outside and he didn't hesitate once helping us with everything. He even helped carry everything up a flight of stairs! We really loved the heated floors, ESP in the bathroom. Also, the shuttle in and out of town is a great idea! The men driving were so nice and dropped us off close to where we wanted to go each time. Also, the man that picked us up from town, and I'm sorry to forget his name but I do remember he was from Oklahoma, and he gave us a lot of great locals advice. Def will stay here again when we come back. Everything was beautiful!

January 2, 2013
I left the "real job" world at the age of 21 to set out in a career as a fine artist. Then 30+ years later, I took my creativity in a new direction and became an author. Now I'm on a quest for my next entrepreneurial adventure whatever that may be.
If nothing else, an example that you can do it - you can create a product/career for yourself and be successful if you have faith and a passion - hard work helps too :^) I personally have succeeded against the odds so-to-speak and enjoy encouraging others with my story and the blessings I've received doing what I do. In other words, if I can do it, anyone can.
Wisdom, support, fellowship, encouragement, and fun. If you can't have fun, even in business, it's just a job.
I'm a life long resident of the Centre Region - my ancestors came here in 1793. My parents have run a small business here since the 1960s. I myself have been self employed as an artist and author since 1981. I've had to wear all the hats of business.

What is the best way to move to Puerto Rico?
(Post updated 9/11/14)
When you move to Puerto Rico, you'll fall in love with the easy-going Caribbean lifestyle, bask in the rich Puerto Rican culture, and enjoy many of the American conveniences you're used to. More and more people trading in the U.S. mainland for the Island of Enchantment, so it's time to learn the best way to move to Puerto Rico.

Well I would like to know if NpgSQL supports .NET framework 4 with EntityFramework, as I tried to use it with framework 4 and Microsoft.Data.Entity.CTP (code first approach) in my MVC3 application and I found no success unfortunately.
Also if any one could lead me to any posts or links on using ADO.NET in MVC3 instead of EntiyFramework would be really helpful.
Any help would be really appreciated.

I was in need of a new passenger side mirror on my 2004 Honda Element, seems my son didn't see the large pole he was parking next too. I checked with the local Honda dealer and was flabbergasted by the cost of the part and installation - nearly $400!! Additionally, the dealer didn't have the part in stock and it would be 1-2 weeks until they got one. The mirror didn't look all that difficult to remove and install, so I did some web surfing to find the part elsewhere. Go-part.com came up in my first search. The website was really easy to maneuver through and in a very short time I had found the mirror I needed at a very reasonable cost!! I ordered the part and within 2 days it was delivered to my home. The installation instructions were very easy follow and within 10 minutes I had removed my old mirror and replaced it with my new mirror!! Go-part.com had even suggested I record the installation and submit to them, but I didn't have anyone to hold the camera while I worked. I have recommended this site to many of my friends who need parts for their cars.

Employment background checks are also known as consumer reports. They can include information from a variety of sources, including credit reports and criminal records. You must take certain steps before you can get a consumer report, and before and after you take an adverse action based on that report.
Before You Get a Consumer Report
You must:
It's a good idea to review applicable laws of your state related to consumer reports. Some states restrict the use of consumer reports – usually credit reports – for employment purposes.
Before You Take an Adverse Action
Before you reject a job application, reassign or terminate an employee, deny a promotion, or take any other adverse employment action based on information in a consumer report, you must give the applicant or employee:
Giving the person the notice in advance gives the person the opportunity to review the report and tell you if it is correct.
After You Take an Adverse Action
If you take an adverse action based on information in a consumer report, you must give the applicant or employee a notice of that fact – orally, in writing, or electronically.
An adverse action notice tells people about their rights to see information being reported about them and to correct inaccurate information. The notice must include:
Investigative Reports
Employers who use "investigative reports" – reports based on personal interviews concerning a person's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and lifestyle – have additional obligations under the FCRA. These obligations include giving written notice that you may request or have requested an investigative consumer report, and giving a statement that the person has a right to request additional disclosures and a summary of the scope and substance of the report.
Disposing of Consumer Reports
When you're done using a consumer report, you must securely dispose of the report and any information you gathered from it. That can include burning, pulverizing, or shredding paper documents and disposing of electronic information so that it can't be read or reconstructed. For more information, see Disposing of Consumer Report Information? New Rule Tells How.

BISSAU, April 17, The African Union (AU) suspended Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday over last week's coup, adding to pressure on military chiefs who said they were ready to restore power to civilians after talks with regional mediators.
"The (AU's) Peace and Security Council decides to suspend with immediate effect Guinea Bissau from all activities...until restoration of constitutional order," AU Commissioner for Peace and Security Ramtane Lamamra said in Addis Ababa.
Foreign governments and international organizations have condemned Guinea-Bissau's military for cutting short a presidential election in the impoverished West African state, detaining front-runner and former Prime Minister Carlos Gomes as well as interim President Raimundo Pereira.
Guinea-Bissau's Catholic bishops also condemned the coup, while Amnesty International accused the army of clamping down on protests, the media and freedom of movement.
The former Portuguese colony has seen several coups and army revolts since independence in 1974 and the latest is a blow to Western donors' efforts to reduce military meddling in politics and counter the influence of Latin American drug-trafficking cartels using the country as a transshipment point.
Suspension is the African Union's normal response to any interruption of constitutional rule in one of its members.
A high-level delegation from the West African regional grouping ECOWAS met Guinea-Bissau's military overnight and ECOWAS Commission head Desire Kadre Ouedraogo told reporters there was an agreement "on the return to constitutional order".
Lieutenant-Colonel Daha Bana na Walna, spokesman for the Guinea-Bissau army leadership, said ECOWAS would send a technical team to help restore civilian rule. He said the country was calm and there was no disorder.
ECOWAS had also insisted in the talks that Gomes Junior and Pereira be released. "As soon as the conditions of security exist for this, they will be freed," na Walna said.
But he later told reporters in Bissau that the return to political power of Gomes Junior and Pereira was "out of the question", and confirmed that the aim of the April 12 army intervention had been to end their mandates.
Many residents have fled the tense uncertainty of post-coup life in Bissau, the crumbling coastal capital, for the interior.
The military chiefs, appealing for calm, said in a communique they were banning all public demonstrations.
Amnesty said fear and insecurity were growing after the military halted protests and shut down private radios.
"Increasingly repressive measures are being employed by the military as they try to stifle mounting criticism within the country and internationally," Marise Castro, Amnesty International's Guinea Bissau expert, said in a statement.
The London-based rights group called for the release of Gomes Junior and Pereira, saying they were being held at Mansoa Barracks, 60 km (37 miles) northeast of Bissau. "Reportedly, both men are being held incommunicado in a mosquito-infested small cell with no water or toilet facilities," it said.
Gomes Junior suffers from diabetes, Amnesty added.
Na Walna told reporters the two men were being well treated and were receiving food prepared by their own families.
It was the second coup in West Africa in less than a month. A March 22 military takeover in Mali left that Sahel country split in two with Tuareg and Islamist rebels holding the north.
Guinea-Bissau's military has announced the formation of a "national transition council" to prepare for fresh elections. But the main political party, PAIGC, has refused to take part, robbing this move of any credibility.
Gomes Junior and Pereira are PAIGC members, and the former was expected to win a presidential election run-off on April 29, which was prevented by the coup.
Gomes Junior was unpopular with military chiefs because he backed plans to reform the bloated army, which is accused of involvement in drug-trafficking by Western security agencies.
Confusion persists over who masterminded the coup.
A shadowy self-styled "Military Command" said it acted to head off what it alleged was a secret pact between Gomes Junior and Angola to "annihilate Guinea-Bissau's armed forces".
Angola had been providing military trainers and advisers to the smaller state in a military cooperation mission. But it announced earlier this month that it was ending the mission.
Guinea-Bissau military spokesmen have declined to confirm rumors that armed forces Chief of Staff General Antonio Indjai was also removed in the coup, saying only that he was "safe".
Many believe Indjai, the nation's most influential military figure, was the architect. "The question has been whether Indjai is in detention or behind the coup but the consensus now is that it is the latter," one Bissau-based diplomat said.

Harris Pye
Ballast Water Treatment – CAD Survey Aids BWT System installation
Harris Pye successfully tests its 360-degree 3D laser scan for CAD prior to fitting a BWT system in LNG carrier Maritime and offshore oil & gas engineering company Harris Pye announce that it has successfully used its 360 degree3D scanner to survey the engine room of Neva River (ex Celestine River), an LNG carrier. The project involved taking a full 3D scan of the engine room in order to ascertain the best system for a ballast water treatment installation. The scan enables Harris Pye engineers to rapidly create three-dimensional images of the entire engine room, and thus create various ballast water treatment models in order to select the best for a client. The entire engine room survey took less than 5 hours, causing minimal disturbance to the crew. 'The risk mitigation and cost and schedule reductions made possible by using our 3D laser scanner are of huge benefits to our customers – both in the offshore and associated onshore industrial sectors' says Harris Pye's Group Technical Director Chris David. The scan gathers point cloud data which is then processed by Harris Pye's Naval Architecture team through AutoCAD in order to create multiple walkthrough 3D models from the scans. 'By being able to create walkthrough 3D models for our clients, we can save them an enormous amount of time and money, because the modelling allows us to test different options with absolute accuracy
