Class for handling simple plugin settings as a DataSet
Use this class if you wish to store simple relational data and web.config or database is not an option.
You will also find nice, simple example how to use this class. It's very cool and everything works like a charm! But what I don't like about it is that you have to manually deal with DataSet. It's quite burdensome. Therefore, I decided to write something to make it more pleasant. Here is how it should work in my opinion:
using Cognifide.PlugInSettingsWrapper;
TestDTO data = (TestDTO) SettingsWrapper.Load(new TestDTO());
data.Value1 = "example string";
data.Value2 = "another one";
data.Value3 = 3;
data.Value4 = 4;
One line to load data and one line to save the data ... coolish?
Check how it works...
First of all you need to have data transfer object, within this, you need to have all properties which you want to store, declared in a following way:
public string Value1
get { return value1; }
set { value1 = value; }
As you can see, it's standard property with additional attribute Persistable. Thanks to this attribute you can specify which properties should be saved/loaded. SettingsWrapper will find all relevant properties, it will create DataSet for you and it will store all your data.
Two things before you go for it ...
- I didn't check how fast it is, I presume that it's not fast, but if you take care of caching those objects then it should be fine,
- I don't know what will happen if you decide to upgrade your EPiServer to newer version. Will EPiServer migrate all data? I hope so ...
If it still looks interesting and you want to give it a try then download the zip file containing source code and binary version and have fun!

Just like those who work within it, the interior design industry is creative, innovative, and versatile. In a nutshell, it's about creating and improving the quality and functionality of a space, but in doing so, there are many other significant layers to the industry.
It's about using creative and critical thinking to find solutions that, of course, result in an aesthetically pleasing space, but just as importantly: meet health/safety regulations and building codes, meet client needs, and meet industry standards. A well–rounded education and broad skill set are crucial in the industry, as designers must work within many different fields (architecture, graphic design, lighting, and more) and with many different tools (including software for computer–aided design).
While complex and multi–faceted, the industry of interior design is also truly rewarding, as the end products are beautiful, artistic, and functional spaces.

I'm currently in Poland, where I'm giving a talk to Blog Forum Gdańsk, the city's annual confab of the country's bloggers and youtubers. While having lunch with Arlena Witt — who runs a terrific channel explaining the cryptic nuances of English pronunciation — I told her the story of how I may have played a small bit role in inspiring the creation of Youtube.
It begins back in January 2005, when I published in Wired a profile of Bram Cohen, the creator of Bitorrent. Jawed Karim, one of Youtube's cofounders-to-be, read the Wired piece — and what happened next is recounted in an old Gigaom story:
Karim traces the idea for YouTube to a Wired Magazine article about BitTorrent by Clive Thompson in the magazine's January 2005 issue. The story included the calculation that 867,000 people watched Jon Stewart's brilliant on-air harangue against Crossfire, while three times that many saw it online. Karim, recounting the online reach of the Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" and camcorder/cameraphone videos of that winter's Asian tsunami, says he was captivated by the idea of an emerging clip culture.
Heh. So, if you've wasted half your workday today watching cat videos, you can, in part, blame me. (Personally, I prefer to waste my workday watching faked UFO videos. Speaking of which: Man, the quality of the homebrew CGI in those things has become superb! Industrial-Light-And-Magic quality, my friends. I also love the fact that there are now Youtube tutorials on making your own fake UFO video.)
By the way, it's worth noting the other two Youtube cofounders — Chad Hurley and Steve Chen — tell a very different story, one where Karim's role isn't so important. (They say the idea began after "they had trouble sharing videos online that had been shot at a dinner party at Steve's San Francisco apartment.") Karim soon left Youtube to go to grad school, and didn't become as famous as the other two. The origins-of-Youtube tale has thus become a peculiarly modern trope: The memetic war over who controls a company's mythic origin-tale. Joseph Campbell arrives in Silicon Valley.
Either way, there's a lovely irony at the end:
Once they had the site up and running, Karim and partners Steve Chen and Chad Hurley set about pitching the site to every Wired writer they could find. Nobody bit.

Planning permission has been granted for the UK Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to build a state-of-the-art facility that will help UK businesses to develop, prove and commercialize innovative products and processes in formulation science.
The new £14.4m National Formulation Centre will be based at NETPark in Sedgefield, County Durham, conveniently located with the CPI's Printable Electronics and Graphene Centres. This will allow CPI to provide a joined up approach to the development of formulated products and their applications across markets such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals, home and personal care, industrial products, oil and gas, paints and coatings, and food and drink.
The National Formulation Centre will take an industry-led approach to bring together cutting-edge cross sector expertise, technology and infrastructure. By providing an environment for innovation, it will increase productivity and accelerate the commercialization of next-generation formulated products.
Working with the centre, companies will be able to join consortia to deliver projects that will create a sustainable open-access capability. Opportunities are also available for collaboration to develop bids for European and UK funding calls in formulation science areas, as well as engaging in commercial technical development projects.
Ground is set to be broken at the site in August 2016, with the centre becoming fully operational from December 2017. The centre is already open for business, however, with interim facilities at NETPark's Discovery 2 building. The team at the centre is developing a pipeline of projects that will enable CPI and partners from across the formulating industries to develop capability that will address barriers to innovation and de-risk the commercialization of new products and processes.
"We are delighted to receive the go-ahead to build," said centre director Graeme Cruickshank. "Our goal is to develop a sustainable, state-of-the-art facility to complement and enhance current UK capability, which will be useful for multiple formulating industries. In the meantime, we are very much open for business, and welcome opportunities to connect with companies who are looking to be involved in collaborative projects."

text: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...031221/ts_latimes/usputsitslatestarmsinskorea SEOUL Even as the Bush administration seeks a negotiated settlement to the North Korean nuclear standoff, an intimidating array of high-tech weaponry, much of it battle-tested in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites), is being deployed south of the demilitarized zone that divides the Korean peninsula. The weaponry has been quietly moved into South Korea (news - web sites) since the summer as part of a significant restructuring of the 37,000 U.S. troops in the country. In return for moving soldiers away from the DMZ, the Pentagon (news - web sites) promised Seoul that it would spend $11 billion to bring in the latest armaments. "More lethality with fewer people," is the way one security analyst described the new mantra of the Pentagon when it comes to the Korean peninsula.

Kuala Lumpur is a cultural melting pot with excellent shopping, budget-friendly 5-star hotels, fantastic food and dozens of authentic nature and wilderness experiences close by. It is a dynamic city with much to offer every type of traveller. But the defining urban experience here has to be an ascent up its majestic Petronas Twin Towers.
Typically, this consists of an ascent up 170 metres of one of the building's two towers in a futuristically designed elevator, which opens onto the aptly-named Skybridge – the fantastical structure which connects the two towers together, and which lays claim to being the 'Highest two-storey bridge in the world.' After this, you ascend even higher up to the Observation Deck on Level 86, where you get access to absolutely breathtaking views of the world below. As you'd image, these are as spectacular during the day as they are at night. Soaring to a height of 451.9 metres, the 88 storey high Petronas Towers are Kuala Lumpur's identical masterpieces, and the crown jewelles of the city.
How to design a landmark Planning for the Petronas Towers started in January 1992, led by the distinguished architect Cesar Pelli along with Deejay Cerico, J.C. Guinto and Dominic Saibo. Excavators began digging down to 30 metres below the surface of the site on March 1993, and this work required moving over 500 truckloads of earth every night.
The next stage was the single largest and longest concrete pour in Malaysian history. 13 200 cubic metres of concrete were continuously poured through a period of 54 hours for each tower. This record-breaking concrete slab with 104 piles now forms the foundation for each tower. From this floor, a 21 metre high retaining wall was built, with a perimeter length of over one kilometre. This concrete shell and the basement area it encloses required two years and up to 40 builders on site – working all day and all night.
The construction of the towers' superstructure commenced in April 1994, after rigorous tests and simulations of wind and structural loads on the design. Then, in June 1996, the towers were finally finished with their steel and glass outer structure. In fact, the Twin Towers' exterior now features 33 000 stainless steel and 55 000 special 'Vision Glass' panels, with light filtering and noise reduction properties to provide a comfortable inner environment. The design of each of the Tower's floor plates is based on Islamic geometric forms of two interlocking squares, creating shapes of eight-pointed stars.
Architecturally, these forms describe important Islamic principles of 'Unity within unity, harmony, stability and rationality,' according to the Petronas Towers' official information guide. The Towers are also 'intelligent' structures, and built with a system that seamlessly coordinates telecommunications, environment control, power supply, lighting, fire and smoke control, and building security.
Majestic by day and dazzling at night, Kuala Lumpur's Twin Towers symbolise the 'Courage, ingenuity, initiative, determination, energy, confidence, optimism, advancement and zest of a nation,' as Malaysia's former prime minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad put it. It's hard not to agree. Next time you're in Kuala Lumpur, make sure you travel to the top!

FC: Marisa's Magical Poetry Booklet
1: Table of Contents | Poetry terms...........pages 2-3 Poetry analysis-birches..........pages 4-5 birches poem..........pages 6-7 Narrative poem.........pages 8-9 | Ode poem......pages 10-11
2: Poetry Terms | Caesura: A natural pause or break in a line of poetry usually near the middle. Ex: How do i love thee? Let me count the ways | Lay: A long narrative poem especially one that was sung my medieval minstrels called trouveres. Ex: The lais of Marie de France
3: Couplet: In a poem a pair of lines that are the same length and usually rhyme and form a complete thought. Ex: Shakesperean sonnets usually end in a couplet
4: Literary analysis Birches by: Robert Frost | T: I think of trees becasue birches are a type of tree. P: The poem is reality (adutlhood) and imagination (childhood). The author is saying that being immature isnt a bad thing, swinging on birches is heaven. C: Imagery- Soon the the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells. The author is trying to have the reader visualize the sun melting and ice of the tree. Simile: You may see their trunks arching in the woods year afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair before them over their heads to dry in the sun. The author is saying that the way trees branches blow is like the girls hair blowing around. Simile: life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs. Its comparing a pathless wood and life becasue life is unexpected and you'll never know where it will take you next. Metaphor: One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. Somone could do worse than not grow up and be immature, its a metaphor of childhood.
5: A: The author is speaking longingly to be free spirited like childhood and imagination. To be fun and carefree. S: The author shifts from imagination (childhood) to reality (adulthood). T": childhood vs. adulthood. T: Birches is a symbol of free spirit.
6: Birches | When I see birches bend to left and right Across the line of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-stormI should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows— Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone. One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them, And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer. He learned all there was To learn about not launching out too soon And so not carrying the tree away Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise To the top branches, climbing carefully With the same pains you use to fill a cup
7: Up to the brim, and even above the brim. Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish, Kicking his way down through the air to the ground. So was I once myself a swinger of birches; And so I dream of going back to be. It's when I'm weary of considerations, And life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs Broken across it, and one eye is weeping From a twig's having lashed across it open. I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree, And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
8: Narrative Poem | Ring ring ring the sound of my alarm clock went off ^ 6:59 oh no I slept in my bus comes at 7:19 how am i going to make it? I pulled out a pair of jeans and white t-shirt and yelled to my mom to start breakfast I ran down the stairs as quickly as I could I fed the cats and the dog there breakfast and realized mine was on the kitchen table I gulped down a huge glass of orange juice, grabbed my sack lunch and threw it in my bag as I was about to leave out the door I forgot my house key for after school I ran upstairs to my room then headed for the door I could see the people from my bus stop loading one by one I tried to yell but the bus drove off into the dark spring morning.
10: Ode Poem | O Greer, she is the summer to my year, She is the sunlight to my cold winter morning, the one who is there know matter how much I am yurning, The one who I think of when I eat chocolate covered cookies, The one who I see at the mall and yell Oh lookie, Oh Greer how you make everyones day more delightful, that is why my mornings are always so brightful.

Ellipsoidal head (also called elliptical head or elliptical dish end) is usually made with Carbon steel, stainless steel, austenitic and non ferritic metals that can be cold worked. The shape of this ellipsoidal head is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter. The elliptical dish end radius varies between the major and minor axis usually with the ratio is 2:1. The elliptical tank head is the economical solution for medium pressure tanks due to the reduced metal thickness requirement.
The ellipsoidal head has good mechanical properties better than the torispherical head. Due to the application of spinning manufacturing process in recent years, the fabrications of the larger diameter elliptical head is also can be realized. ASME elliptical dished heads are used in the construction of tanks for unfired pressure vessels, such as liquefied petroleum gas and air receivers.

If you've ever browsed around on a Slackware install CD-Rom you must have noticed that the packages are organized in software series. For each of the software series there is a sub-directory in the /slackware directory. If you would put CD1 and CD2 together you would have a structure like this:
slackware/ |-- a |-- ap |-- d |-- e |-- f |-- gnome |-- k |-- kde |-- kdei |-- l |-- n |-- t |-- tcl |-- x |-- xap `-- y
Each of these directories contains the packages belonging to that serie, and each of these directories has an extra file named tagfile. The tagfile is used by the package manager to decide if a package is required, recommended, optional or should be skipped. In the file there is a line for each of the packages in the serie. I.e. the original tagfile for the "a" software serie (Slackware 10.1.0) looks like this:
# This is a Slackware Installation Tagfile. # # This one comes from disk: A1 (Base Linux series) # and a backup copy called "tagfile.org" can be found on the same disk. You # should never edit the "tagfile.org" copy, only the one called "tagfile".

Beware: The comments in this file are not up to date. There is no "A1" serie anymore, there are no tagfile.org files anymore. But the rest of the comments explain quite a bit about the format of this file.
To summarize this info:
There is a line for each package in the serie
The first field is the package basename followed by a collon.
The second field is has one of four vallues:
ADD meaning that the package is required for this serie.
REC meaning that the package is recommended for this serie.
OPT meaning that the package is optional for this serie
SKP meaning that the package should be skipped for this serie.
The SKP option is kinda funny. What use is a package in a series if you must skip it? Well actually, if you would inspect the default tagfiles you would not find a package with the SKP option. The SKP option is there so that we can make our own tagfiles to do an automatic packages install via the "tagpath" option in the Slackware installer, it gives us the means not to install a package.
Just like the SKP option for an interactive installer, the REC and OPT options are without meaning for an automated install. They both require the user to decide wether or not to install the package.
So what we would need is a set of tagfiles, organized like the original tagfiles in a directory per serie, with one line for each package, just using the ADD or SKP option. While it is not a difficult task to make such a structure of files, you can take them from the Slackware CD-Rom, editing them to reflect the proper choices is tedious job in which errors are easialy made.
I decided to automate these processes and wrote two scripts to do this work for me. The first script wil make a directory structure filled with the tagfiles from a Slackware CD-Rom (or from an other location if you want). The second script will use an allready installed system as a guideline to write new tagfiles. By using the new tagfiles for a new install I would get a system with exactly the same packages as the model system.

How English Language Learning is Fast Becoming the Ticket to Access Our Global Economy: An Interview with Lingo Media CEO Michael KraftSpotlight Companies Follow |
The world has undergone dramatic change over the last couple of decades, in particular how our economies and cultures have become truly globalized. Information is spread rapidly across a much wider footprint than ever before.
In this globalized world, English has become the common language for communication. With thousands of different languages and dialects across the globe, English is the touchstone, the point of contact for disparate cultures to come together to share ideas and conduct business.
The result is a huge demand for English language learning. The industry is growing at a rapid rate as people and governments the world over invest time and resources to help punch that ticket to the global economy that English has come to represent.
One company at the forefront of this industry is Lingo Media ($LM:CA) ($LMDCF). Combining a diverse range of curricula tailored to a variety of different cultures and using the latest web-based educational technology, Lingo Media is fast becoming a supplier of choice for governments the world over.
Equities.com talked with Michael Kraft, President & CEO of Lingo Media, to dig into what's driving the growth in this industry and why his company is so well positioned to take advantage of it.
EQ: Why is English language learning growing at such a rapid rate, and why does the industry that you're in have such solid growth as a result?
Michael Kraft: The English language learning space has been growing rapidly in recent years and has continued to grow because the world is becoming smaller with globalization. English has become the language of commerce at an international level, and one that transcends borders.
The number of people learning English is now around 1.5 billion and the market for English language learnings products has grown to over $55 billion.
For many, especially in developing countries, English has come to represent an opportunity for a better life - for a better education, a better job, and the ability communicate with the world. That is what's driving demand to learn English.
Most developing countries have instituted educational initiatives as part of sweeping government mandates and reforms to help improve the socioeconomic condition of their citizens. This results in curricula which requires that English be taught in the public education systems of many of these countries and creates significant exposure to English language learning at a young age – as early as age 6 or 7 at the elementary school level, and 13 at the middle school level. This has been a big driver of industry growth.
The market opportunities are enormous. Estimates range from 1 billion to 2 billion people who are currently learning English around the world. Many of the learners are not just in first world developed countries, but increasingly in developing countries.
Countries are adopting English and creating a huge market base as students progress through and then graduate from public education systems. Then they move into higher education where English becomes even more important.
EQ: There's a lot of very exciting new learning technologies you're applying. Could you talk a little bit about EdTech and why these products are catching on so quickly?
Michael Kraft: There's a real opportunity in applying technology to language learning, and surprisingly, the adoption of EdTech is often greater in developing countries than in developed countries - similar to how we saw mobile networks being built in China at rates and with capacity that exceeded mobile networks in many Western countries.
Together with the relatively widespread use of computers, tablets and mobile devices, it opens up the marketplace to a much wider audience. That allows us to deploy technology solutions that in many cases remove the need for an instructor.
For many developing countries, the educators are often not very fluent in English and poorly equipped to teach it. The use of technology eliminates that reliance on the teacher, although in many cases blended learning is the desired solution. We have technology to facilitate learning at your own pace or learning at home, but hybrid learning where a teacher is utilizing technology is also very popular.
We've created Course Builder and Lesson Builder, which allow us to rapidly digitize content and courses for online use in a very interactive and engaging experience. The combination of the content our editorial team is creating and the technology framework and tools that we've developed allow us to provide leading solutions for learners of all ages.
And we're getting results! We're winning government contracts. The majority of the contracts we're securing are government contracts: primarily from either the Ministries of Education or Ministries of Labor at a municipal, state or provincial, or federal or nationwide level. The testing and approval process that goes into those contracts before they're awarded is very thorough and really validates that our products do work.
EQ: Obviously, it's clear that the effectiveness of these programs is playing out in the market. But it also sounds like there is a pretty dramatic reduction in cost by taking this approach.
Michael Kraft: Without a question. Learning through an online platform only requires a device with some form of internet connectivity. We don't require a physical classroom. We don't require an instructor. We don't require textbooks and other teaching materials. Basically, it's providing more access with less resources. It's opening up education to the masses, because sometimes there are not resources available for traditional classroom learning.
I think it's the need for access that's driving so much growth in the space for digital products. The worldwide five-year CAGR for digital English language learning products is 11.1%, and expenditures are estimated to surge to $3.1 billion by 2018. A lot of people who previously lacked the opportunity to learn English can now do so with these products, and it's having a dramatic effect on the pool of potential customers.
EQ: How is Lingo Media preparing for growth? Is your product offering flexible enough to address different markets?
Michael Kraft: The evolution of the company has been a series of three acquisitions in the online e-learning space. They were all turnarounds, and in all of these cases what we've acquired is either very valuable long term content and/or technology tools that could be deployed and refined to improve our content offerings combined with our technology solutions.
Research by Ambient Insight points to five major catalysts for growth in the digital segment of English language learning products: large-scale digitization initiatives in the academic segments; new government educational policies designed to increase English proficiency; consumer demand for digital language learning products, particularly mobile products; the proliferation of mobile learning value added services (VAS); and strong demand for specialized forms of English. I think the acquisitions we've made have positioned the company very well to specifically address these major catalysts.
What we've done with these acquisitions over the last three to four years is to integrate, revise and update the content and technology tools and platform into a very sizeable and compelling digital library of English language learning content. Our content fits and meets the needs of the users. The technology tools and user experience combine to make an excellent product offering, so we will keep building up our sales pipeline and continue securing contracts. At the same time, we're working on custom projects which allow us to greatly enhance and expand our digital content library in addition while at the same time we continue to sell our off-the-shelf suite of products.
For instance, the content created for a specific government contract in one country would likely be licensed for use in country on an exclusive basis. I think it's important to point out that the content we're building is not specific to one country; it has worldwide applications. It's very general content that would appeal and engage users in any country so they can deal with real world, international subjects and topics that have no borders. It's world content. When students want to learn English, they want to become world citizens. They don't want to learn English for China. They want to learn English for the world so that they can study abroad, become world citizens, and do business worldwide. Our plans always include the opportunity to license or sell that content beyond the specific country where we may offer exclusivity as we have a very large world market to address.
EQ: Are there any other closing comments that you'd want to make?
Michael Kraft: I would like to highlight our recent financial results and also point out to investors what they should be expecting from us going forward as well as our value proposition.
Last week we announced our financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and reported revenue of $1.79 Million and net comprehensive income of $993,552 or $0.04 per share. Our performance is largely attributable to an increase in revenue from digital learning, which increased approximately 776% year-over-year. In the quarter, digital revenue as a percentage of total revenue was greater than print-based revenue for the first time in our operating history, a direct result of our enhanced sales and marketing effort which led to securing new sales contracts in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and other Latin American markets. The EdTech market for English language learning continues to present us with favorable sales growth opportunities in Latin America and globally.
From an investment point of view, we're a hybrid model. We're a software as a service model with earnings that is also concurrently developing some very exciting and compelling technology that could provide additional upside value and further enhance the returns for shareholders.

On Saturday, March 14th, this little blog of mine turned 4 years old.
It blows my mind to really think I've been blogging for 4 years. I remember vividly the day I set out to make a blog, the headache I gave myself figuring out formatting and how to use a template, the realization that I really had no idea what to blog about. Those first couple years were slow. It took some time for me to settle into being a "blogger" and learning what it is I love to post about. My passion and seriousness about writing was just beginning to blossom when I first created Musings of an Elf. And this blog really helped it grow.
Whenever I was at a loss of what to blog about, I always came back to writing. I was a little hesitant and shy over talking about my writing; my own family could hardly pull from me any information about my stories. But if I was going to be a writer I had to actually, ya know, share my writing. So I thought I'd give it a go. Next thing I knew, writing was all I wanted to blog about. The more I blogged about it, the more I realized how much I love writing, how much I love to talk about it and discuss it with others and surround myself with all things writerly. A whole new network had opened up to me. What better place for a writer to let out her passion than on a site dedicated for writing?
Because of stepping out and talking about my passion, I met more writers, I grew as a writer as I made posts and wrote in different styles aside from just fictional stories, I discovered other writing blogs that have become invaluable to me, I've met some absolutely amazing people who share my interests. I had no idea on that day in March, 4 years ago, that the little blog I up and decided to attempt would become such an important part of my life.
Blogging is therapeutic to me. Sometimes I just have to ramble about something, and blogging allows me to do that. I can be myself and just have fun.
But this blog would be pointless without you guys—reading, commenting, putting up with my nonsensical rambles, and just being all around amazing followers. I cannot express my appreciation for every single one of you. The thought that someone out there actually wants to read all the silliness that passes through my head and down to my fingers. . .wow. There are no words. I mean, come on. I make posts about lemons and write letters to Time and you're still here. You guys are amazing! And such an encouragement. I don't even know what to say but THANK YOU. Thank you for following Musings of an Elf and offering so much support and love to this silly little aspiring writer. Whenever the wearying, discouraging work of being a writer gets to me, you always lift me back up. I love you guys!
I look forward to yet another year of blogging. Of pointless rambles and ridiculous posts and growing in my writing and meeting fantastic people. It's going to be great!
Happy Birthday, Musings of an Elf!!!

Résumé de rapport
Project ID: 7262-01/266/01
Financé au titre de: ECSC-WORKSAFE C
Pays: Germany
A self-monitoring carbon monoxide filter unit for employees who work in atmospheres containing carbon monoxide
A self-monitoring carbon monoxide filter unit was developed to increase safety for employees who work in atmospheres containing carbon monoxide near blast furnaces and other metallurgical facilities. This was accomplished by integrating an electro-chemical sensor between the filter box and the respiratory connection, objectively indicating the efficiency of the filter box, its service life and the limits of use to the user. The break-through of a filter box and consequently its rejection is indicated threefold after a concentration of 30 or 60 parts per million carbon monoxide is reached in the inhalation air: optically by means of a light emitting diode (LED) acoustically by means of an intermittent alert signal (depending on concentration) by increased inhalation resistance due to the closing of a reducing damper in the inhalation air channel. Considerable increase of filter capacity utilization proved that the microelectronic unit responsible for device safety was economically efficient. The service life of the electro-chemical sensor proved to be excellent. After a current maximum service life of 5 years, about 80% of the total of 150 monitoring units which have been in continuous operation are still fully operative. The practice of changing the microelectronic units at the collecting points at weekly intervals with subsequent check, calibration and re-charging of the accumulator batteries has met with unreserved success. It has to be noted as a restriction that the use with gases containing not only carbon monoxide, but also a high portion of hydrogen (such as coke oven gas) is not appropriate due to the sensor's transverse sensitivity to hydrogen (the alert threshold is reduced too much by premature response of the sensor). This measuring principle basically works with any kind of gas filter.

Sunday we had a combined serviced with both Las Uvas church and Tiloarque. We held the service in a hall and rented tables and chairs to accommodate the nearly 80 people that attended.
We had a time for testimonies and different people gave thanks to God for His help this year and for all His blessings.
We have a good group of young people. Here are a few of them.
Hannah organized a Christmas program with the children and young people. Here are the little children singing "Happy Birthday Jesus".
The choir getting ready to sing a number.
I would have liked to have had all three of the churches together for one meal but with the number of people and the distance to Las Delicias it would have been difficult. But at least each church received a meal.
Some of the children from Las Uvas enjoying their meal.
We thank God for His blessings on our churches. He has been so faithful. It is such a privilege to bring the good message of hope and salvation to these precious people. We are praying for an even more blessed year in 2013!

Our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and Valerie of a The Chocolate Bunny, chose delicious pate with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook's challenge! They've provided us with 4 different pate recipes to choose from and are allowing us to go wild with our homemade bread choice.
The pate I chose to make was the Tricolor Vegetable Pâté: from Bon Appétit Oct 1993 on Epicurious. I made it as directed, but only used half the written recipe for the White bean layer, and it was still plenty. I also made my own ricotta for the pesto layer
though it doesn't photograph that well. Ricotta is actually quite easy to make.
2L milk
4 Tbsp white vinegar
Heat the milk until you see small bubbles at the side of the pan. Turn off
the element and add the vinegar. Strain the curds off the top and then drain
through a very clean Chux type dishcloth. Two litres of milk makes 500g of ricotta cheese. (so if you only want enough for the pate recipe, just use 500ml milk and 1 Tbsp vinegar)
I made Brioche, but in the excitement of Master Two's birthday party, I forgot to get a photo of my bread, but I'll share the recipe with you below anyway.
My pate all tucked up, waiting to set
Brioche (Breads from your breadmaker - Richard Carroll)
150mls tepid water
2 Tbsps sugar
90g unsalted butter, at room temp
2 tsp lemon juice
2 eggs
500g White Bread Mix
2 tsp instant dry yeast
Place ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed, insert into the breadmaker and close the lid.
Cook on 'Sweet' program, 'Large' size, 'Medium' crust.
My top crust was a little pale, but the sides were a lovely golden colour, so I probably wouldn't mess with that.

I knew it was coming, the 4 Series Gran Coupe, and yet I am still a bit flabbergasted by its existence. I mean, sure, it's cool looking. But does it really need to exist? I'm not convinced.
For those of you who're scratching your heads, the 4 Series Gran Coupe is, as the pictures from autofilou show, the 4 Series Coupe but with four doors. Let me cut you off at the pass; yes, it is the 3 Series with a less headroom.
And I'm not just being pedantic. The 4 Series Gran Coupe really is the 3 Series underneath. They have the same engines and transmission … and the same grille and wheels.
This isn't the first time Bimmer has offered a more expensive, shorter version of one of its sedans, though. It first released the 6 Series Gran Coupe for 2013, which is the 5 Series with a short roof … or a 6 Series with two extra doors, depending how you look at it.
In my first drive video – posted below – I asked why anyone would buy the 6 Series Gran Coupe over the 5 Series, which is bigger, cheaper, and more fuel-efficient.
I answered my own question thusly, "six is one more than five."
This logic still stands, if you ask me. Why get the 4 Series Gran Coupe when you can get the 3 Series for less money? Because 4 is one more than 3.

On July 16, 2015, FERC issued a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR)[i]. Since they have had the eight CIP version 6 standards on their desk for approval since February, it was widely anticipated that this document would discuss v6, which it certainly does. However, what was not widely anticipated was the form this document would take, as well as the other issues that are discussed in it.
For a little background, FERC could have issued two types of documents regarding v6. A NOPR (such as the one they issued in April 2013 stating they were going to approve CIP version 5) solicits comments on a rule that FERC is considering approving – in this case, the CIP v6 standards. Once FERC has gathered the comments, it makes its decision on whether or not to approve the rule, then issues an Order approving them (such as Order 791, which approved the v5 standards as submitted but then asked for four significant changes. Implementing these changes resulted in the eight v6 standards, which now need to be approved).
However, what I (and others) anticipated was that FERC would simply issue an Order approving v6, not a NOPR requesting comments. It seemed to me that, since CIP v6 was developed specifically to address the four changes FERC had asked for in Order 791, and since FERC staff members had observed – and commented on[ii] – the Standards Drafting Team meetings, there shouldn't have been any big surprises when v6 was submitted in February. If there were a few points that they wanted changed, they could still have ordered NERC to make those (as they did in Order 791); these changes would become CIP version 7. But CIP v6 would have become the law of the land, and any entities who still had doubts whether it would be approved would have at long last had certainty.
However, FERC once again showed that anticipating what they will do is dangerous. They hinted strongly (in the very first sentence in paragraph 1, page 1[iii]) that they will approve the v6 standards as written; however, they also asked for comments on a number of issues that are either new or ones they don't think NERC has adequately addressed. These are quite interesting, and I'll discuss them at length below, and in part II of this post (which should follow in a day or two).
Before I do that, I want to emphasize the main takeaway of the NOPR: The CIP v6 standards will be approved as written, although once again there will be new and revised requirements (and probably a new CIP standard for supply chain security) coming in the future[iv]. And if v6 is approved at FERC's October meeting[v], this means the compliance dates for the v6 requirements won't be pushed back from what is shown in the v6 Implementation Plan.[vi]
The remainder of this post, and Part II, deals with topics on which FERC is soliciting comments. These may or may not result in revised requirements; one may result in an entirely new CIP standard.
CIP-006-6 R1.10 – "Communications Networks"
This is clearly an important topic for FERC; it is discussed in Section D of the NOPR, starting on page 27. CIP-006-6 R1.10 was added to CIP-006 in response to FERC's directive in Order 791, which ordered NERC to develop a requirement to protect "the non-programmable components of communication networks"[vii]. By this they mean cabling and devices like dumb hubs and switches that might be physically tampered with to cause loss or alteration of communications between CIP-protected devices.
NERC chose to interpret this FERC directive to refer to a fairly narrow domain: cabling and non-programmable components between Cyber Assets within an ESP, when that cabling exits a PSP. R1.10 specifically addresses protecting such cabling and components. There are two other domains that are not addressed by R1.10. The first is cabling and components within the ESP that are also enclosed within a PSP. The SDT argued – and FERC agreed – that such items were now physically protected by the fact that all the Cyber Assets (BCS and PCAs) within a PSP already have physical protection. Thus, as long as the wiring between those Cyber Assets doesn't exit the PSP, it is already protected. FERC doesn't dispute this assertion.
The second domain is cabling and components that facilitate communications between ESPs. The fact is that these aren't protected by CIP v5 at all now; it seems FERC believes they should be. This is a very interesting problem, and it wasn't at all helped by the fact that NERC mistakenly claimed, in the Petition for approval of v6 filed in February, that this domain is already protected. Let me elaborate on this last point.
FERC says in paragraph 51 on page 34 "NERC further states that Part 1.10 only applies to nonprogrammable components used for connection between applicable Cyber Assets within the same Electronic Security Perimeter because Reliability Standard CIP-005-5 already requires logical protections for communications between discrete Electronic Security Perimeters."
When I first read this, I thought FERC had to be wrong, since all of the CIP v5 and v6 standards include (in Section 220.127.116.11) an exclusion for "Cyber Assets associated with communication networks and data communication links between discrete Electronic Security Perimeters."[viii] But then I realized that this exclusion doesn't cover the cabling and components that FERC is talking about; rather, it just covers cyber assets like routers that are between ESPs.
I then thought FERC had to be simply misquoting NERC. NERC couldn't have said that CIP-005-5 requires logical protections for communications between ESPs, could they? Because this is certainly not the case. But when I looked at page 49 of the Petition (cited by FERC), I saw this: "…Reliability Standard CIP-005-5 already requires logical protections for communications between discrete ESPs. For instance, under CIP-005-5, Requirement R2 responsible entities must do the following for Interactive Remote Access into an ESP: (1) use an Intermediate System such that the Cyber Asset initiating Interactive Remote Access does not directly access an applicable Cyber Asset; (2) use encryption that terminates at an Intermediate System; and (3) require multi-factor authentication for all Interactive Remote Access sessions."
In other words, NERC said in their petition that the fact that there are protections for Interactive Remote Access means there is protection for "communications between discrete ESPs". There is only one problem with this statement: it's false. The whole idea of IRA is it is communications into an ESP from a system that is outside of any ESP (e.g., if I use my laptop in my living room to monitor or control systems within an ESP), not from one ESP to another. FERC points this out in paragraph 56 on page 35. I find it quite odd that NERC would have made this mistake, but let's move on.
FERC goes further to state (paragraph 57) that they are concerned about protecting communications between ESPs, in particular communications between control centers; they are clearly considering ordering such protections, and want to hear comments on this topic. Given what this will entail if it becomes a requirement, I anticipate there will be a lot of comments.
To speed up the comment process, FERC concedes one point. They state in paragraph 58, "We also recognize that third-party communication infrastructure (e.g., facilities owned by a telecommunications company) cannot necessarily be physically protected by responsible entities." But they go on to say that logical controls could be applied (and point out that CIP-006-6 R1.10 does allow for logical protections if physical protection isn't possible).[ix]
They conclude this discussion in paragraph 59, where they state, "...we propose to direct NERC to develop a modification to proposed Reliability Standard CIP-006-6 to require responsible entities to implement controls to protect, at a minimum, all communication links and sensitive bulk electric system data communicated between all bulk electric system Control Centers."
I don't think I need to tell you that this is going to be a huge issue. It will certainly be an interesting discussion.
Here is Part II of this post.
The views and opinions expressed here are my own and don't necessarily represent the views or opinions of Deloitte Advisory.
[i] To find it, go to www.ferc.gov and click on Documents, then eLibrary. Choose General Search and search for docket "RM15-14-". Or drop me an email at email@example.com and I'll send it to you.
[ii] Of course, FERC staff members always preface any comments they make at any meeting by saying, "I don't speak for the Commissioners…." And that's true – the five Commissioners don't reveal their thoughts or plans on future actions to anybody else (including each other. I've always wondered what they talk about in the lunchroom. Must be the weather).
[iii] In this post, page numbers will refer to the actual page numbers in the document, not to the page number of the PDF file.
[iv] These will of course be numbered as CIP version 7; they will require a new Standards Drafting Team (unless the current team feels like doing this again – my guess is they won't), new ballots, new NERC Board approval and finally new FERC approval. My fervent hope is that this time – unlike with v6 – NERC won't just revise the standards that actually have changes, but will instead "rev" all of them to CIP version 7. Having to comply with two different CIP versions at the same time (v5 and v6) is causing – and will cause – lots of completely unnecessary confusion. Let's not compound that by adding a third version, v7, to the mix.
[v] Here's why October is the latest FERC can approve v6, without the implementation dates being pushed back: The dates shown in the v6 Implementation Plan for each v6 standard are all qualified by "or the first day of the first calendar quarter that is three calendar months after the date that the standard is approved by an applicable governmental authority..." Since "approval" usually refers to the date 60 days after the Order is published in the Federal Register (and since it will take a few days for the Order to be published), this means that October is probably the last month in which FERC can approve v6 in time for it to be "approved" in Q4. In the Implementation Plan, the compliance dates for the standards themselves (although there are a lot of exceptions for particular requirements, or even parts of requirements) are all April 1, 2016. This happens to be exactly the date that would result from the above qualification, if approval is in the fourth quarter. I believe the 60-day delay is to give Congress the chance to object to the Order, although my guess is that NERC CIP version 6 won't be at the top of Congress' mind in the fourth quarter and they will pass on this great opportunity. I want to thank an auditor friend who explained this to me.
[vi] I will be very shortly posting a new post that raises the question whether FERC may actually delay approving v6, thus forcing the v5/v6 implementation date past 4/1/16.
[vii] Paragraph 46, page 28
[viii] In a webinar I did in June with EnergySec, we had a big discussion on this exclusion, although this was in the context of NERC's April Memorandum on Network Devices.
[ix] They add, "Also, if latency concerns mitigate against use of encryption as a logical control for any inter-Control Center communications, our understanding is that other logical protections are available, and we seek comment on this point." I'm sure there will be a lively technical debate on this issue.

Some assorted stuff in our Thursday update...
PUBLIC EYE RETURN: When long-time CBS Radio AC WDOK/102.1 morning co-host Robin Benzle found herself not waking up Cleveland with Trapper Jack on the station's popular morning show, she lamented that it'd be difficult to find her way back onto the air...as stations seemed to be interested in female hosts who were - as she put it to Plain Dealer media columnist Julie Washington - "giggle queens".
There's no such worry about the Internet, where Benzle has made a return to "the public eye", as she puts it to us.
Benzle tells OMW that her new website focuses on two topics her former WDOK listeners know are dear to her heart - food and travel:
"Each Friday, a new Chow Time cooking video is posted, as well as periodical travel videos. There is a new travel series on my recent trip to Ecuador. There are hundreds of my recipes on the site, travel articles and an online store. New age - new media."
The site even contains a pitch to join Benzle, her husband Eric, and Cleveland Zoo director Steve Taylor and his wife Sarah, on a Kenyan safari trip in late August into early September.
Of course, back at One Radio Lane, Benzle was eventually replaced by Gannett NBC affiliate WKYC/3 programmer Terry Moir, who continues in that role at 13th and Lakeside...
THAT CLEAR CHANNEL ANNOUNCEMENT: Well, at least they tried to put a better spin on it.
Perhaps smarting from the reaction to its "Inauguration Day Massacre", where some 1,800 Clear Channel employees were shown the door nationwide on January 20th, the radio giant tries to make lemonade out of Ryan Seacrest-brand lemons.
The company unveiled a broad look at new local programming strategies, along with a multi-pronged upgrade of its community service commitments, on Wednesday.
Though we don't have a LOT to say that hasn't already been said by wiser folks at various radio trade sites, we've picked up some interesting points that could affect local Clear Channel operations here and elsewhere.
Here, read along with us from the press release:
Clear Channel Radio today announced a multi-point plan to raise the bar for radio programming across all day parts and platforms, including online and mobile. The plan includes the launch of new programming and makes programming and on-air talent that's proven to be most popular with audiences, available more broadly to local program directors in all markets for all day parts.
That last line is the key here, in our opinion.
And this, from Clear Channel Radio CEO John Hogan, after acknowledging the "particularly difficult economy" that makes it difficult for "some local stations" to develop programming:
Local Clear Channel Radio program directors will have total choice and flexibility in choosing the Premium Choice programming elements. They can elect large portions, single pieces, or none of the offered programming. All of the Premium Choice elements were determined in full consultation with the company's most experienced and trusted programming and operations managers.
Hogan says that Clear Channel top 40, hot AC and other similar format stations will now have the flexibility and choice to run Ryan Seacrest's "On Air" in any daypart...and that its urban format stations will have the same flexibility with the morning show hosted by former Clevelander Steve Harvey.
WAIT! We're just kidding with that last paragraph. Honest! Well, we think we are. Hogan did not say that. But he did cite Seacrest's success, and that of Harvey:
Over the past two years, the company has rigorously evaluated all of the programming at every station across every day part. Based on tests of the programming elements, audience growth and ratings have grown dramatically.
* On Air with Ryan Seacrest increased audience share in San Francisco by some 86% within three months of beginning its broadcast there; and the show increased audience share in Denver by some 46% in the same timeframe.
* Similarly, Steve Harvey has improved ratings in all 10 markets into which he's expanded.
While indeed it's fun to poke a little at Seacrest, a successful broadcaster who is pretty much the Poster Child for Bland Programming, we think we've uncovered something here.
Quoting the release:
Clear Channel's performance analysis tools evaluate a wide range of variables connected to a broadcast program and/or specific on-air talent and identifies properties with significant potential to succeed in other markets. The company believes it is the most sophisticated tool of its type in broadcasting. The performance analysis tool and the Premium Choice program will combine to build the careers of lesser-known talent that consistently outperform their peers.
Ah, but those "peformance analysis tools" appear to be built around the new PPM ratings system:
Content and talent are selected for the program based on the evaluation of new PPM-based audience-measurement reports and data produced by Clear Channel Radio's proprietary talent performance tool.
Unless we missed something, Arbitron's "Personal People Meter" hasn't yet made it to a single Ohio radio market, and we haven't seen any announcement that the devices will show up in Cleveland, Columbus or Cincinnati any time soon.
They will, eventually, but the kinks are still being worked out of PPM...particularly on the legal side, where various groups and states have weighed in hoping to slow it down or stop it. Or, perhaps, extract legal settlements...as has already been done in New York.
The result is that "building careers for lesser-known talent", as Clear Channel suggests, may not be happening as quickly for hosts in non-PPM markets...at least as part of the use of this Clear Channel "talent performance tool".
If local hosts are brought into regional or national syndication outside of PPM markets, it'll be done the old fashioned way...based on the performance analysis Clear Channel has implemented outside PPM markets.
But it sounds to us like the company is concentrating on bringing local hosts in large markets into other large markets, and then down to, uh, the sticks.
Like, say, a certain Mr. Seacrest.
How does all this affect local program directors, who will presumably still exist in the Clear Channel world - for now, at least?
The company takes pains to say the local PDs will have "a choice", and won't have the "Premium Choice" programming thrust upon them:
Local Clear Channel Radio program directors will have total choice and flexibility in choosing the Premium Choice programming elements. They can elect large portions, single pieces, or none of the offered programming.
Ah, but the current financial realities may well mean that local programmers will basically have no choice but to choose large amounts from the Premium Choice menu, with maybe a small smattering of Local Morning Show pieces added in. "Here, here's a great list of quality programming at a low price - you really can't afford much else." That's just our take.
And we remind readers that this programming release says the company is aiming to "improve program quality for all dayparts"...and makes it clear that the "Premium Choice" offerings are what the company considers to be an improvement in quality.
And as a result, though 1,800 employees aren't being handed their walking papers this week, the moves will certainly result in eventual job loss for local Clear Channel clusters...
LOCAL SERVICE: Together with this release, Clear Channel outlined a multi-point plan aimed at upgrading local community service.
From another company press release:
Clear Channel Radio today announced an impressive new level of commitment to local community affairs that will define a new, higher 'minimum level of service' for all markets. The commitment spans five areas: charitable partnerships, public-service announcements (PSAs), local public-affairs programming, local advisory boards, and 24/7 access to station management for local officials.
Though Clear Channel insists that the "local public-affairs programming" won't just be an expanded version of the traditional Sunday morning public affairs show, it's worth noting that considering the above, there'll probably be less of an opportunity for public service the old-fashioned way - by a local host or personality sitting in a local studio most of the day, talking directly to listeners.
(And the aforementioned Ryan Seacrest isn't really doing local remotes out in the community. Even in Los Angeles, really...)
Like pretty much all radio operations, Clear Channel stations run extensive flights of public service announcements, and always have.
This grand promise to extend those announcements may have one driving force Clear Channel's John Hogan doesn't talk about - the reduction in sales of spot inventory, due to the economic recession, certainly leaves a lot more available on-air time to run those PSAs.
We'll be watching Clear Channel's promise for "extended engagement" with community groups, and "local advisory boards" to help the company's stations meet public service needs...and localize public service messages.
And presumably, the "24/7 access" to local management is meant to answer frequent company critics, particularly over that infamous situation of the Minot ND toxic train derailment - when local public safety agencies complained that they couldn't just call up the local radio station and get the word out.
We've gone on at length about that here, but in brief: there were many issues in that situation, and we don't place the onus on Clear Channel for the Minot Situation nearly as much as some others do.
For one, the local officials seemed clueless about the use of existing emergency broadcast procedures, and for another, the potential over-air listenership of all Minot radio stations in the middle of the night is less than the number of people reading this blog right now.
Instead of lamenting that they couldn't "just call up the station" or reach the apparent single employee in the building who wasn't seeing the incoming phone call, local officials in Minot would have been better served activating sirens in the affected area - either fixed, or via their own police and fire vehicles.
Commercial broadcast receivers don't activate an alarm when an EAS alert is issued, and weather radios are few and far between in homes. If every Clear Channel-owned station in Minot had gone live with disaster coverage in the early morning hours, many would have slept right through it.
(This isn't to say they shouldn't have done so...they should have, in some form. But that the reality is that those who are not awake - can't listen to the radio, though those awake could have presumably awoken others.)
Anyway, we suggested at the time that officials in Minot and other areas, and local radio operators, would be well served by ensuring that public safety agencies had 24/7 phone/pager contact with managers at the stations - and that appears to be one prong of this Clear Channel plan.
We always applaud an increased commitment to link radio stations and their communities, so we're not going to throw brickbats at Clear Channel for this announcement.
And despite the criticism it gets, the company is no stranger to local public service or community commitment. Just within the scope of our coverage area, a high-profile Clear Channel hot AC outlet (WKDD/98.1 in the Akron/Canton area) raises large amounts of money for a local children's hospital each and every year.
But with a move towards imposing more media "localism" gaining steam in Washington, this could certainly be seen as a preemptive strike by the company...
DAVE AND JIMMY TWO: Presumably, WNCI/97.9 Columbus-based morning team "Dave & Jimmy" would be one example of a local show that parent Clear Channel will continue to grow in syndication.
For the moment, though, OMW hears that "Dave & Jimmy" are about to lose their second affiliate in two weeks.
As we reported, the show was recently dispatched from sister Clear Channel top 40 WDKF/94.5 "Channel 94-5" just down I-70 in Dayton, with the station now encouraging listeners via its website to "embrace a change" in morning drive.
We are not, for the moment, reporting details on the second affiliate loss. For one, we're listening to the web streaming audio of the affected station - and "Dave & Jimmy" are still airing there.
But we will say that the affiliate in question is NOT in Ohio...

The other interesting thing to note is remembering that Arbitron and Nielsen will eventually overlap in Youngstown for radio ratings...but you're right, I have not heard anything about the meters coming to this area...
- bgsufn said...
The 24/7 access has a more literal meaning as a mandate came down on high that each building will be staffed 24/7. In NW Ohio, that means paying a part-timer $8.00 per hour to sleep at the radio station.

I thought it was a FCC reg that at least one person had to staff a station(s), even overnights?

Golden Gate University Law Review
Since 1990, prosecutors have learned that in order to effectively protect victims, antistalking laws must be broad in scope, carry substantial penalties, and pass constitutional muster. Convicted stalkers have repeatedly attacked the law as unconstitutional. All such challenges have failed. However, the California legislature has clarified and strengthened the antistalking law through a series of revisions over the past eight years.s Today, the antis talking law is broad in scope and has repeatedly passed constitutional scrutiny. However, the level of intent that the antistalking statute currently requires could pose problems for prosecutors by allowing accused stalkers to escape liability by asserting a defense of lack of specific intent. The law is therefore in need of revision.
