Classic Car Insurance for Classic Vintage Cars
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 2:00 AM | 1 Comment
A classic car and a classic-vintage car are two different things, so when it comes to insurance, it is important that you are purchasing the right one for you.
A classic car is usually a vehicle over 15 years old although some companies may specify a value as part of the definition as well.
A classic- vintage car is a vehicle that was originally manufactured somewhere between the first and second world wars.
A vintage-classic car, given the age, is often one that has been restored. The owners take great pride in their maintenance and car in their keeping.
This is the first thing you need to make sure you are specific about when looking for your insurance. As part of your classic car insurance package, you want to ensure you are going to get the right deal.
Having put so much effort and work into the vehicle, if something should break down, you want your insurance to replace it.
That is the second reason you need to be vigilant when choosing your car insurance because your vehicle parts may be hard to come by.
Your insurer needs to confirm that parts will be replaced like for like so you get the authenticity you have worked hard for.
Some classic car owners prefer to go for manufacturer specific insurance because of this.
Alfa Romeo Insurance, for example, is tailored around the potential requirements for an Alfa Romeo and therefore, you would hope, this company would know where the parts you may need are going to come from.
They would also have a better understanding of the vehicle. It is your decision mind but it couldn't hurt to get an Alfa Romeo Insurance quote alongside the others and look into the benefits that this manufacturer specific insurance could bring.
Considering the work you have put into the vehicle; you need to make a list of your requirements before diving in to ensure your vehicle is covered, properly, for all eventualities.
If something were to go wrong, it could be very costly so be sure to think outside the box when making this list.
Once you have a better idea of what you could need; the best bet for you when choosing your insurance is the World Wide Web.
The internet makes finding insurance deals a lot easier with the use of comparison sites.
You can choose all of the options you need and be handed the cheapest prices on a plate.
There are a number of comparison sites out there so try a few because they all deal with different companies.
When you make your decision, don't settle for anything less than all of your requirements being ticked. What one insurer cannot offer you, undoubtedly, another one will be able to.
Classic car insurance is more complex in the sense that your car is not as easily replaceable than a newer vehicle.
It is vital that your classic vehicle has the right classic car insurance for you to protect you and your pride and joy if the need arises.

A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.2. Which Log File is Used
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the dbus and audit packages are installed by default, unless they are removed from the default package selection. The setroubleshoot-server must be installed via Yum (the
yum install setroubleshoot command).
If the
auditd daemon is running, SELinux denial messages, such as the following, are written to
/var/log/audit/audit.log by default:
type=AVC msg=audit(1223024155.684:49): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2000 comm="httpd" path="/var/www/html/file1" dev=dm-0 ino=399185 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 tclass=file
May 7 18:55:56 localhost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing httpd (httpd_t) "getattr" to /var/www/html/file1 (samba_share_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l de7e30d6-5488-466d-a606-92c9f40d316d
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,
setroubleshootd no longer constantly runs as a service. However, it is still used to analyze the AVC messages. Two new programs act as a method to start
setroubleshoot when needed:
sedispatch and
seapplet. The
sedispatch utility runs as part of the audit subsystem, and via
dbus, sends a message when an AVC denial message is returned. These messages go straight to
setroubleshootd if it is already running. If
setroubleshootd is not running,
sedispatch starts it automatically. The
seapplet utility runs in the system toolbar, waiting for dbus messages in
setroubleshootd. It launches the notification bubble, allowing the user to review AVC messages.
Procedure 5.1. Starting Daemons Automatically
To configure the
auditd and
rsyslogd daemons to automatically start at boot, run the following commands as the Linux root user:
chkconfig --levels 2345 auditd on~]#
chkconfig --levels 2345 rsyslog on
- Use the
service service-name statuscommand to check if these services are running, for example:
service auditd statusauditd (pid 1318) is running...
- If the above services are not running (
service-name is stopped), use the
service service-name startcommand as the Linux root user to start them. For example:
service auditd startStarting auditd: [ OK ]

The star city that never sleeps
31 January 2011
: Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys has captured this moment in the ever-changing life of a spiral galaxy called IC 391. Although these massive star cities appear static and unchanging, their stellar inhabitants are constantly moving and evolving, with new stars being born and old stars reaching the ends of their lives —often in spectacular fashion, with an immense supernova explosion that can be viewed from Earth. On 3 January 2001, members of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory discovered such an explosion within IC 391 and it was named SN 2001B. This was a Type Ib supernova, which occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel for nuclear fusion and collapses, emitting vast amounts of radiation and creating a powerful shock wave. Hubble has contributed much to our understanding of supernovae in recent years, and it has made an extensive study of supernova 1987A (heic0704), the brightest such stellar explosion to …

The secret of stellar youth
24 January 2011
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a clear view of the unusual globular cluster Palomar 1, whose youthful beauty is a puzzle for astronomers. This faint and sparse object is very different from the more familiar brilliant and very rich globular clusters and had to wait until 1954 for its discovery by George Abell on photographs from the Palomar Schmidt telescope. Globular clusters are tightly bound conglomerations of stars, which are found in the outer reaches of the Milky Way, in its so-called halo. They are amongst the oldest objects in a galaxy, containing very old stars and no gas, which means there is no possibility of newborn stars introducing some fresh blood into the cluster. However, at 6.3 to 8 billion years old, Palomar 1 is a youngster in globular cluster terms — little more than half the age of most the other globulars in our Milky Way, …

Islands of stars in the river
17 January 2011
: The spiral galaxy NGC 1345 and its loose and ragged arms dominate this rich image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It is a member of the Eridanus Galaxy Cluster — a group of about 70 galaxies that lies 85 million light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus (the River). This region of the night sky is well populated with bright galaxies, with the Fornax Cluster of galaxies also nearby on the celestial sphere, although the two clusters are actually separated by about 20 million light-years. Collectively, they are known as the Fornax Supercluster or the Southern Supercluster. John Herschel discovered NGC 1345 in 1835 from South Africa. He described it as small and very faint and it is still far from easy to see it even with quite a large amateur telescope, where it appears as a small, circular fuzz. Apart from the main galaxy that dominates the picture, …

Dying star cocooned within its own gases
10 January 2011
: Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to image the tiny planetary nebula NGC 6886. These celestial objects signal the final death throes of mid-sized stars (up to about eight times the mass of the Sun); when such a star exhausts its supply of hydrogen fuel, the outer layers begin to expand and cool, which creates an envelope of gas and dust that shrouds the dying star. However, the star doesn't go down without a fight, finding alternative ways to prevent it from collapsing under its own gravity and emerging as a white dwarf. In the process, the star's surface temperature increases and it is eventually hot enough to emit strong ultraviolet radiation and make the cocoon of gas glow as a stunning planetary nebula. Stellar death isn't quick and painless: the planetary nebula stage typically lasts several tens of thousands of years. By studying the elements that are …

Stellar powerhouses in the Eagle Nebula
3 January 2011
: A spectacular section of the well-known Eagle Nebula has been targeted by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This collection of dazzling stars is called NGC 6611, an open star cluster that formed about 5.5 million years ago and is found approximately 6500 light-years from the Earth. It is a very young cluster, containing many hot, blue stars, whose fierce ultraviolet glow make the surrounding Eagle Nebula glow brightly. The cluster and the associated nebula together are also known as Messier 16.Astronomers refer to areas like the Eagle Nebula as HII regions. This is the scientific notation for ionised hydrogen from which the region is largely made. Extrapolating far into the future, this HII region will eventually disperse, helped along by shockwaves from supernova explosions as the more massive young stars end their brief but brilliant lives. In this image, dark patches can also be spotted, punctuating the stellar landscape. These …

Doing cartwheels to celebrate the end of an era
27 December 2010
: An image of the Cartwheel Galaxy taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has been reprocessed using the latest techniques to mark the closure of the Space Telescope European Coordination Facility (ST-ECF), based near Munich in Germany, and to celebrate its achievements in supporting Hubble science in Europe over the past 26 years. Astronomer Bob Fosbury, who is stepping down as Head of the ST-ECF, was responsible for much of the early research into the Cartwheel Galaxy along with the late Tim Hawarden — including giving the object its very apposite name — and so this image was selected as a fitting tribute. The object was first spotted on wide-field images from the UK Schmidt telescope and then studied in detail using the Anglo-Australian Telescope.Lying about 500 million light-years away in the constellation of Sculptor, the cartwheel shape of this galaxy is the result of a violent galactic collision.

Barred spiral bares all
20 December 2010
: The galaxy captured in this image, called UGC 12158, certainly isn't camera-shy: this spiral stunner is posing face-on to the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys, revealing its structure in fine detail. UGC 12158 is an excellent example of a barred spiral galaxy in the Hubble sequence — a scheme used to categorise galaxies based on their shapes. Barred spirals, as the name suggest, feature spectacular swirling arms of stars that emanate from a bar-shaped centre. Such bar structures are common, being found in about two thirds of spiral galaxies, and are thought to act as funnels, guiding gas to their galactic centres where it accumulates to form newborn stars. These aren't permanent structures: astronomers think that they slowly disperse over time, so that the galaxies eventually evolve into regular spirals. The appearance of a galaxy changes little over millions of years, but this image also contains a …

A dazzling planetary nebula
13 December 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has turned its eagle eye to the planetary nebula NGC 6572, a very bright example of these strange but beautiful objects. Planetary nebulae are created during the late stages of the evolution of certain stars that eject gas into space and emit intense ultraviolet radiation that makes the material glow. This picture of NGC 6572 shows the intricate shapes that can develop as stars exhale their last breaths. Hubble has even imaged the central white dwarf star, the origin of the dazzling nebula, but now a faint, but hot, vestige of its former glory. NGC 6572 only began to shed its gases a few thousand years ago, so it is a fairly young planetary nebula. As a result the material is still quite concentrated, which explains why it is abnormally bright. The envelope of gas is currently racing out into space at a speed of …

Hubble peers deeply into the Eagle Nebula
6 December 2010
: The star cluster is very bright and was discovered in the mid-eighteenth century. The nebula, however, is much more elusive and it took almost a further two decades for it to be first noted by Charles Messier in 1764. Although it is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, its official designation is Messier 16 and the cluster is also named NGC 6611. One spectacular area of the nebula (outside the field of view) has been nicknamed "The Pillars of Creation" ever since the Hubble Space Telescope captured an iconic image of dramatic pillars of star-forming gas and dust. The cluster and nebula are fascinating targets for small and medium-sized telescopes, particularly from a dark site free from light pollution. Messier 16 can be found within the constellation of Serpens Cauda (the Tail of the Serpent), which is sandwiched between Aquila, Sagittarius, and Ophiuchus in the heart of one of the …

At the edge of the abyss
29 November 2010
: Fresh starbirth infuses the galaxy NGC 6503 with a vital pink glow in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, a smaller version of the Milky Way, is perched near a great void in space where few other galaxies reside. This new image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys displays, with particular clarity, the pink-coloured puffs marking where stars have recently formed in NGC 6503's swirling spiral arms. Although structurally similar to the Milky Way, the disc of NGC 6503 spans just 30 000 light-years, or just about a third of the size of the Milky Way, leading astronomers to classify NGC 6503 as a dwarf spiral galaxy. NGC 6503 lies approximately 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco (the Dragon). The German astronomer Arthur Auwers discovered this galaxy in July 1854 in a region of space where few other luminous bodies have been found. …

Galactic moths drawn to a bright light
22 November 2010
: Smaller, dimmer galaxies appear to flit like moths around a radiant street light in this image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The brilliant central object is a supergiant elliptical galaxy, the dominant member of a galaxy cluster with the mouthful of a name MACSJ1423.8+2404. This great swarm of galaxies is located about five billion light-years away in the constellation Boötes (the Herdsman). MACSJ1423.8+2404 and other distant galaxy clusters offer astronomers a peek into the earlier days of our Universe when these colossal groupings were still taking shape. Over the 13.7 billion-year history of the cosmos, such galaxy clusters have emerged as the largest observed gravitationally bound structures. But there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to galaxy clusters — they also hint at the vast majority of the Universe's substance that we have not yet directly detected. Astronomers study clusters such as MACSJ1423.8+2404 to …

Hubble witnesses the crafting of a celestial masterpiece
15 November 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has used its Advanced Camera for Surveys to peer closely at the strange cloud of gas and dust that envelops a star at a late stage in its life, a short-lived phenomenon known as a protoplanetary, or pre-planetary nebula. These fascinating celestial objects give astronomers an opportunity to watch the early stages of planetary nebula formation, as the gas and dust is moulded by high velocity winds — like watching a glassblower at work in his factory. Despite their rather confusing names, these objects are unrelated to planets. The name arose because of the superficial visual similarity between planetary nebulae and the small discs of the outer planets in the Solar System when viewed through a telescope.The protoplanetary nebula shown in this image is known as IRAS 20068+4051 and it is found in the constellation of Cygnus. The shell formed when its progenitor star exhausted …

An extraordinarily slender galaxy
8 November 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a striking galaxy called NGC 4452, which appears to lie exactly edge-on as seen from Earth. The result is an extraordinary picture of billions of stars observed from an unusual angle. The bright nucleus can be seen at the centre, along with the very thin disc that looks like a straight line from our unusual viewing position. To complete the picture, a hazy halo of stars on the periphery of the galaxy makes it seem to glow.NGC 4452 was first seen by William Herschel in 1784 with his 47 cm telescope in England. He described the object as a bright nebula, small and very much elongated. The new Hubble image shows just how elongated this unusual object really is.Galaxies are like star cities, and typically contain many billions of stars. The American astronomer Edwin Hubble, after whom the Hubble Space Telescope is named, …

A deceptively quiet galaxy
1 November 2010
: At first glance NGC 3077 looks like a typical, relatively peaceful elliptical galaxy. However, as this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image dramatically reveals it is actually a hotbed of very energetic star formation and the whole galaxy is laced with dusty tendrils. It lies about 13 million light-years from Earth.NGC 3077 was first seen by William Herschel with his 47 cm telescope in England in 1801, when he was close to completing his sky surveys. It is located in the far northern sky in the constellation of Ursa Major (the Great Bear) and forms a triplet with two brighter nearby galaxies, the graceful spiral Messier 81 and the very peculiar and active starburst galaxy Messier 82.Although overshadowed by its brighter neighbours, NGC 3077 is also very active and resembles a less dramatic version of Messier 82. Interactions between the three galaxies have stoked the fires of star formation in the …

A great ball of stars
25 October 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has turned its sharp eye towards a tight collection of stars, first seen 174 years ago. The result is a sparkling image of NGC 1806, tens of thousands of stars gravitationally bound into a rich cluster. Commonly called globular clusters, most of these objects are very old, having formed in the distant past when the Universe was only a fraction of its current age. NGC 1806 lies within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It can be observed within the constellation of Dorado (the dolphin-fish), an area of the sky best seen from the Earth's southern hemisphere. NGC 1806 was discovered in 1836 by the British astronomer John Herschel. He had travelled to South Africa in order to catalogue astronomical objects visible best from southern latitudes, and thereby complete work begun by his father William, the man who coined …

An odd planetary nebula in Hercules
18 October 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a striking high resolution image of the curious planetary nebula NGC 6210. Located about 6500 light-years away, in the constellation of Hercules, NGC 6210 was discovered in 1825 by the German astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve. Although in a small telescope it appears only as a tiny disc, it is fairly bright. NGC 6210 is the last gasp of a star slightly less massive than our Sun at the final stage of its life cycle. The multiple shells of material ejected by the dying star form a superposition of structures with different degrees of symmetry, giving NGC 6210 its odd shape. This sharp image shows the inner region of this planetary nebula in unprecedented detail, where the central star is surrounded by a thin, bluish bubble that reveals a delicate filamentary structure. This bubble is superposed onto an asymmetric, reddish gas formation where …

A cosmic whirlpool in Tucana
11 October 2010
: The beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 406 was discovered in 1834 by John Herschel and is here imaged in great detail by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Located some 65 million light-years away, in the southern constellation of Tucana (the Toucan), NGC 406 is about 60 000 light-years across, roughly half the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It is a spiral galaxy quite similar to the well known Whirlpool galaxy (Messier 51, see http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/opo0110a/). In a moderate-sized amateur telescope NGC 406 would appear as a faint hazy blob, like thousands of others across the sky, and none of the spectacular fine detail in the Hubble picture could be made out. In this image the galaxy exhibits spiral arms that are mainly populated by young, massive, bluish stars and crossed by dark dust lanes. As is typically observed in this kind of spiral galaxy, the yellowish central bulge, dominated by …

Star formation fireworks in Orion
4 October 2010
: The keen eye of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has often peered deeply into the Orion Nebula to see the processes occurring there and revealed many dramatic tableaux of young stars hurling material into space and entire solar systems forming. This image shows the spectacular region around an object known as Herbig-Haro 502, a very small part of the vast stellar nursery. The entire picture is filled with the rich colourful glow of the nebula and, just left of the centre, a star embedded in a pinkish glow can be also seen. This fascinating object is an example of a very young star surrounded by the cloud of gas from which it formed. This leftover material may accrete to form planets and eventually solar systems as intricate as our own. It is highly likely that the material that now forms our own planet Earth was part of a similar gaseous …

A Distant backwater of the Milky Way
27 September 2010
: This bright spray of stars in the small but evocative constellation of Delphinus (the Dolphin) is the globular cluster NGC 6934. Globular clusters are large balls of (typically) a few hundred thousand ancient stars that exist on the edges of galaxies. Lying 50 000 light-years from Earth, in the outer reaches of our Milky Way galaxy, NGC 6934 is home to some of the most distant stars still to be part of our galactic system — in a sense, it is a far-flung suburb to the Milky Way's city centre. NGC 6934 was first seen by William Herschel in the late eighteenth century. He classified it as a "bright nebula" and was not able to resolve it into stars. The cluster is not bright enough to see with the naked eye, and even in ideal conditions it is very difficult to view with binoculars. However, it is a popular target …

A star Makes a billowy exit
20 September 2010
: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope snapped this striking image of an aging star whose outer layers of gas have blown off into space. These gases glow in the fierce ultraviolet glare from the hot, small remnant of the star at the cloud's centre. This object, which is designated NGC 6741, also known as the Phantom Streak Nebula, is located about 7000 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila (the Eagle). NGC 6741 is classed as a planetary nebula, though no planets are responsible for this billowy cloud; the term came about in the 18th century because the round gas shells resembled the Solar System's outer giant planets in astronomers' telescopes. Although fairly bright, this object appears very small though a typical telescope and was missed by early surveyors of the skies and only spotted in 1882 by Edward Charles Pickering. Stars with sizes that are somewhat smaller than our Sun …

Bar-S Playground is located in the West Seattle neighborhood at 6425 SW Admiral Way, 98116. It is 3.7 acres.
The spit of land jutting into Puget Sound that forms the westernmost area of West Seattle was recommended for a park in the Olmsted Brothers 1908 supplemental report. They called this proposed park "Alki Point Park" and reported that most of the area "consists of an attractive wooded knoll, covered with good trees. It is close to and overlooks the Sound, which, together with its growth of trees, makes it very valuable as a local park for recreation purposes." Although the knoll was privately developed as residences, some of the meadow was eventually made into a park with ballfields.
In 1952, a sewage treatment plant was built on this point to collect and treat sewage being dumped into the Sound. As the treatment plant did not occupy the entire parcel, a portion of it was devoted to ball play after several years of planning and negotiations with the community, Little League sponsors, city council and a local meat-packing plant called Bar-S. The Bar-S Meat Packing Company helped develop the fields for play.

Recommended Reading List: January, 2013
I read a lot in January. I just didn't find a lot to recommend. I read one very long YA novel that started well. Midway through, I realized the book had slowed. By the end, I had decided I didn't much like the plot, but the characters kept me reading. It's the first of three. I doubt I'll buy the next. I've done that before with this author's work. The first in her trilogies always convinces me to buy it but never to read the remaining books. She must not be ending the first book in the series correctly.
I also read a legal thriller with dialogue so compelling that I couldn't stop reading even after I realized all the characters were stupid saints. They made every possible dumb error and still were revered by everyone around them. Um, no. And as compelling as the writing is, I'm not going to recommend the book.
Fortunately, the first part of the month was wonderful and the last part of the month repaired the damage that occurred in the middle. All of my recommendations come from the two weeks bookending the month. I also read some great Fiction River stories, which I'll be sharing with you in the anthologies.
But first, here's the great stuff other people published that I read in January.
January, 2013
Angell, Roger, "Over The Wall," The New Yorker, November 19, 2012. In what is a short memoir of his wife Carol, Angell explores what death means to survivors. Not in a morbid way, but in the sense of some of us continuing while others have stopped. At a certain point, we can no longer figure out what our friends/spouse/relatives would have thought about events, because those events are so different from anything they ever experienced in their lifetimes. He says this much more eloquently than I just have. Read it, for that alone.
Dubé, Marcelle, Running Away From Christmas, Falcon Ridge Publishing, Kindle edition, 2012. I read this one after the holiday because I simply couldn't wait until next year. Faith can't take another Christmas alone, so she runs away to Vancouver B.C., where…well, I'd like to say the holiday stalks her, but it's not quite like that. It's sweeter. A wonderful story, no matter the time of year.
Land, Jon, "Killing Time," The Best American Mystery Stories 2010, edited by Lee Child, Mariner, 2010. Fantastic thriller about a hired killer who takes a teacher's identity and hides out in a school. Yeah, I know. After the Newtown and other tragedies, something like this should be hard to read. But it isn't. It's essentially a heroic wish fulfillment story. It came from an anthology that I had read, but I hadn't read this story. I am pleased and surprised by this piece. It's quite memorable. I can't get the economy with which Land accomplishes all of this out of my head.
Lawson, Anthea, The Worth of Rubies, Kindle Edition, 2013. This lovely short mystery takes place in a Victorian setting, although it feels a bit Regency. Anthea manages to make the setting vivid, the characters even more vivid, and the mystery intriguing. This short piece is a good introduction to her work, if you haven't read anything she's done before.
Rankin, Ian, Standing In Another Man's Grave, Little, Brown and Company, 2013. Rebus is back! Rebus is back! Dammit. Because when I had that reaction to Rankin's novel just from the cover, I rearranged my own writing plans. Here's what happened: Three novels by three of my favorite writers appeared on the same day. Two had series detectives, and one—to my initial disappointment—didn't. But Rankin hasn't written about Rebus in years, and I had to read this first. Which means…well, you'll see. I'm writing a different book than I had planned to write this month. Let me say that much.
Anyway, Rebus. Still technically retired, he's been working on the Cold Case Squad to keep his hand in. And he comes across a case that isn't exactly a case and isn't exactly cold. He grumps his way through, alienates everyone because that's what Rebus does, and gets results. Much as I love Malcolm Fox of The Complaints (who has a bit role here), I adore Rebus. And this book is even better than I expected—which is saying something.
Robinson, Peter, Watching The Dark, HarperCollins, 2013. This is the second book of that threesome I mentioned above. Watching The Dark is an Inspector Banks novel, and a bit of a departure, in that Banks spends much of his time in Estonia rather than England. I learned a lot about Estonia, and got pleasantly stumped by the plot, and read as fast as I can. A good entry in a marvelous series.
Ruston, Elizabeth, Love Proof, Ryer Publishing, 2012. Lawyer Sarah Henley is coming off a bad year. She gets a mercy hire job from a friend, which pairs her with an old lover, Joe Burke. Yes, sparks fly—again—but there's history that the two must deal with, and a difficult legal case, and some bad hotel food. I'd been in the mood to read legal fiction of any kind, and when I found this book I rejoiced. Not only is it a good romance, but the legal part is accurate and fascinating. I can't wait to read the next Ruston novel.
Vonnegut, Kurt, "Ed Luby's Key Club," The Best American Mystery Stories 2010, edited by Lee Child, Mariner, 2010. I didn't want to like this story. I was quite resistant to it, expecting to quit at any point. Instead, I got sucked into the trials of a married couple in the Depression who just wanted to celebrate their anniversary, and instead stumbled on something horrible and awful and seemingly impossible to survive. Highly recommended.
6 responses to "Recommended Reading List: January, 2013"
I've definitely bought books you recommended, Kris. I just forget to tell you that. Please keep doing these lists! Love them!
Thanks for doing these reading lists! Like Nancy, I really enjoyed Mistletoe'd and would never have come across it otherwise. I think I started reading Elizabeth Hand after one of your posts, too. I appreciate the time you put into the posts!
I took your suggestions for last December and wasn't disappointed (especially Mistletoed, which had 3 wonderful tales), so I bought the short Victorian mystery this time around, sight unseen (no reviews as yet).
I'm really trying to broaden my reading; I've never read anything by Anthea Lawson, though the name sounds familiar for some reason.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading it. 🙂

You May Already Be a Winner (Used Paperback) - Ann Dee Ellis
For fans of Ali Benjamin's The Thing About Jellyfish and Katherine Applegate's Crenshaw comes the humorous and heart aching story of one girl's struggle to keep hope alive for her and her younger sister in Sunny Pines Trailer Park.
Twelve-year-old Olivia Hales has a foolproof plan for winning a million dollars so that she and her little sister, Berkeley, can leave behind Sunny Pines Trailer Park.
But first she has to:
· Fix the swamp cooler and make dinner and put Berkeley to bed because her mom is too busy to do all that
· Write another letter to her dad even though he hasn't written back yet
· Teach Berk the important stuff, like how to make chalk drawings, because they can't afford day care and Olivia has to stay home from school to watch her
· Petition her oddball neighbors for a circus spectacular, because there needs to be something to look forward to at dumb-bum Sunny Pines
· Become a super-secret spy to impress her new friend Bart
· Enter a minimum of fourteen sweepstakes a day. Who knows? She may already be a winner!
Olivia has thought of everything . . . except herself. Who will take care of her when she needs it? Luckily, somewhere deep down between her small intestine and stomach is a tiny voice reminding her that sometimes people can surprise you—and sometimes your family is right next door.

If you've been using WordPress for a while, you would already know that creating posts and pages are done through Gutenberg, the default block editor. Gutenberg allows you to add blocks of content (from headers, custom html, and even 3rd party widgets) into your post or page. In addition, it even allows you to create multi-column layouts. It is also lightweight and very quick. However, it isn't perfect. It has its limits. One of these, is the lack of elements that can be used on a post or page. Another, is that it is not very customizable. Yet another is that it is still in development and has a myriad of issues. Lastly, it is not mature enough. While Gutenberg is nice enough for simple posts and pages, there are more efficient and powerful alternatives.
What are these alternatives? Page Builders.
Page Builders, as the name suggests, help build pages. Different Page Builders have different characteristics, but all provide control to create, edit and design custom post or page layouts. Because of this, they are the preferred tool of UX/UI designers.
interested? Read on.
There are many page builders in the market – free and paid.
In this review, we will be looking at one of them – Elementor Page Builder Pro. Elementor Page Builder Pro ("Elementor Pro" for short) is one of the leading page builders available in the market. It has over 5 million installs and is localized in over 50 languages and is ranked as one of the most popular plugins in WordPress.
Does Elementor Pro live up to its reputation? Read on and find out.
In this review, we will be covering Elementor Pro's features and use.
Summary of the Good and Bad of Elementor Pro
To begin, here is an overview of Elementor's pros and cons:
|The Good of Elementor Pro
|The Bad of Elementor Pro
|No "Clear Content" option
|Intuitive drag and drop Interface
|No chat support
|What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) when editing
|Full access block and page templates
|Efficient Editing
Now that we've seen that, let's look at it further.
Installing and Using Elementor Pro
In this section we will show how to install and use Elementor Pro.
Installing Elementor Pro
We will take a look at Elementor Pro's installation and setup first.
For Elementor Pro to work, users need to install and activate the plugin's basic version (which we will refer to as just "Elementor"). Otherwise, Elementor Pro will not work. Installing Elementor is easy, users just need to look for it in the "Add New Plugins" page.
Once the plugin is shown, users should click "Install Now"
Then click "Activate".
Once that has been activated. Users can proceed to installing Elementor Pro. Since Elementor Pro is a premium plugin, users can't find it in the "Add Plugins" page. Instead, users have to upload the plugin's zip file.
Then activate the plugin.
Once that is done, users have to connect and activate Elementor Pro. Only then can the Elementor Pro features be used.
If you think, installing and setting up Elementor Pro is a lengthy process, we would agree. However, given the amount of elements (also known as "widgets") and functionality Elementor and Elementor Pro add to WordPress, it is to be expected. The good thing is that once the installation and setup are done, users can start creating and editing pages without having the need for further configurations.
With that let's proceed.
Using Elementor Pro
To use Elementor Pro, users need to create or edit a post or page. Then they need to click the "Edit with Elementor" button. In our example below, we created a new page, gave it the name, "About", and then clicked the "Edit with Elementor"
This would redirect to the Elementor Interface. Is is through this interface that page or posts are edited or created.
We'll examine this interface next.
The Elementor Interface
In this section, we will be looking at the Elementor interface. Both the basic version and Elementor Pro make use of the Elementor Interface. it is through this interface that custom page layouts and designs are made. All widgets, free and premium, can be accessed through the interface.
The interface has two main parts – the side panel.
And the page editor.
The Elementor Side Panel
In this subsection, we will be looking at the side panel.
The Elementor Side Panel consists of the Widget Panel, the Elementor Menu, and the Panel Footer.
The Widget Panel
The Widget Panel contains all the widgets that users can use in the page or post that is currently being edited. These widgets are the basic building blocks of sites.
Above, we see two subtabs – "Elements" and "Global". The first tab is where all widgets – free and premium- can be found. The second tab gives access to widgets that have been created and were were configured to have a shared instance anywhere it is used, whether on a different layout section or even another page or post.
Let's view the ELEMENTS tab first.
The ELEMENTS tab contains all of the widgets that we can place on a page or post. Elementor Pro has over 50 widgets available for users to choose from, and use. To start of, there are Basic Elements Widgets which, in our experience, are the most common and fundamentally used for designing a page.
Then there are the Pro Elements Widgets, which only come with the premium version of Elementor. These provide more functionality than basic widgets do.
Elementor Pro also has WooCommerce element which can be used for e-commerve (Note: these can only be used when another plugin, "WooCommerce" is installed and activated).
Lastly, there are Theme Elements Widgets which are dynamic and change based on the page's , posts', and even the site's contents.
Looking for a widget is really easy because the widgets are grouped by category (although the grouping is different and more specific than the organization shown in the images above.)
The widget panel also has a search bar which can be used to look for elements.
Editing is done through the panel as well. To do that, users have to click on a widget on the page. This will change the contents of the side panel into the settings for the specific widget. This will enable users to change the content, the styling, and the advanced settings for that widget.
All in all, the Widget Panel is handy and efficient because it provides easy access to elements and their configuration settings. Other page builders don't have this feature so it can be tedious looking for widgets or modify them. Not with Elementor. All widgets and their settings can be found in one location, making editing an ease.
The Elementor Menu
The Elementor menu is where users can configure the Global Styling settings, access the Theme Builder, and edit the plugin preferences. This is also where users can access a navigation tool called the "Finder" and view a page preview.
Panel Footer
The last part of the side panel is the panel footer. It is essentially a toolbar used primarily to save updates, view revision history, and change views. It can be found at the bottom of the side panel.
That's it for the side panel.
The Elementor Page Editor
We'll be viewing the page editor next.
The Elementor page editor is where the widgets are placed and where layouts are made or arranged. The page editor also displays what the edited page or post looks like when it is published.
Here we can see the the add section area. This is where widgets are placed.
And of course, this where sections are added. Sections are composed of at least one column as we can see below.
It is also through the page editor that users can add templates.
That is all for the page editor.
But before we proceed, we have to comment on how intuitive the page editor is. First, the buttons for adding sections and using templates have captions that tell the users what they do. In addition, there is even a caption that says that widgets should be dragged there. Lastly, adding templates and new sections is a breeze. We would have to say that is is very well designed and thought of.
Elementor Editing Features
Now that we've seen the interface let's look at Elementor's editing features.
In this section, we will be covering Elementor's editing features in more detail.
Drag and Drop Placement and Editing
Elementor is a drag and drop editor. All users need to do is click on a widget and drag the widget onto the "Add Section" area. Doing so will display the widget on the page. Here's an example with an image widget.
Users are not limited to adding one element in a section. We can add as many elements as we need to. In the image below, for instance, we added more elements to a section
We can also rearrange the widgets by dragging them onto their new positions.
The drag and drop feature makes editing really easy. As can be seen, all users need to do is drag and arrange the elements onto their respective positions inside a section. That's it. That's how they'll appear on a published post or page.
Extensive Editing Capabilities
Widget Editing
Elementor allows users to extensively edit a widget. And we will see how.
To edit a widget, users just need to right click on the widget they need choose the widget specific edit option. To demonstrate this feature, we will edit a "Text Editor" widget. In the image below, we right clicked on the widget and then chose the "Edit Text Editor" option from the pop-up menu. This changed the content of the side panel as it displayed different tabs – "Content", "Style", and "Advanced".
The Content tab, as the name suggests, is where the widget's contents are edited. In the image below, we can see it in action. We edited the content and it was immediately reflected.
The Style tab allows users to change the appearance of the widget. See it below for a "Text Editor" widget.
Lastly, the advanced tab allows users to make further configurations for the widget. In the image below, we gave the "Text Editor" widget a motion effect and a border.
It's not difficult to see how extensive Elementor allows users to edit widgets. From content to motion effects, users have absolute control over widget contents, appearance, and even behavior.
Section and Column Editing
Columns and sections can be edited too. To do that, users have to right click then select the edit option for the section or column. This will change the contents of the side panel, similar to what happens when editing widgets. We can edit the layout, styling, and even add advanced configurations of section or column.
Let's view it in action. In the image below we edited the layout, style, and advanced settings of a section.
Another really handy future is that users can change column sizes by dragging the borders.
Again its amazing that Elementor gives users this much extensive control over these page components. It's as if we were coding these components ourselves.
Site Styling
The next feature to look at is site styling. With this feature, we can edit configurations that affect the whole WordPress site.
The options can be seen in the image below.
As an example, here we are editing the global font settings.
Not only do users have control over widgets and sections, users also have control over the WordPress site's settings.
Custom CSS
Elementor Pro extends these capabilities further by allowing users to customize the CSS of widgets, columns, or sections. Users need to write the custom CSS through the option that allows found in the "Advanced" tab.
This is particularly useful when users need more control than what the "Style" tab offers such as giving the element more advanced attributes.
Elementor Templates
Elementor comes with different templates that users can use. Although the basic version of Elementor comes only with a few of these, Elementor Pro allows users to access all these templates.
Block Templates
The first of these are block templates, which are templates for a sections. Here's one in the image below. In it we used a FAQ block template.
We can see how sleek it looks.
Page Templates
Elementor also has page templates which as the name suggests is a template for a page (or post for that matter). Here's one of them
And here we see how fresh it is.
Custom Templates
Lastly, we can also save parts of the post or page as a template, so that it can be reused later on as many times as needed. In our example below. we saved a section.
And here below, is us reusing it.
Custom templates reduce the amount of effort needed when designing. It streamlines the workflow of users, because there is no need to redesign an element from scratch.
That is all for templates.
Efficient Editing
In this subsection, we will be viewing Elementor's (and consequently Elementor Pro's) efficient editing features.
Copy Paste and Duplicate
Elementor makes it easy to copy and duplicate widgets. Users just need to right click then choose the "Copy" option from the pop-up menu. After that they just need to choose an available section to place it.
Here is the copy paste feature.
And here is the duplicate feature.
What's great is that this works for columns and sections as well so that there is no need to recreate or even copy and paste these elements
Copy and Paste Styles
A widget's style can also be copy and pasted. What this means is that users can use the styling of an already existing widget to another widget of the same kind without needing to configure anything.
This is really useful when you need at least two elements that have similar styling.
Elementor makes deleting widgets, columns, and sections also really easy. Users just have to right click on the page components and choose the delete option.
Undo Changes
It is also really easy to undo changes. Users just need to press CTRL + Z and the changes are undone. This can be done multiple times so if users need to step back a few steps when editing all they have to do is undo more than once.
Revision History
If users need to go to a specific edit, there is an Elementor feature which allows them to do so – Revision History.
Users can revert their changes to an "Action" (which is a state in a current editing section.)
Users can also revert their changes to saved updates (called "Revisions")
This is very useful when users decide that they would need a major re-edit but would like not to begin from scratch and instead build on a page or post that already has content.
Section Navigator
Elementor also has a feature which allows users to navigate a page or post easily – the Section Navigator. This navigator displays all the content in the page editor. Aside from this, users, the navigator allows elements to be focused on by clicking on the page component inside the navigator.
This is very useful when there are numerous widgets and sections on a page.
Responsive Editing
Elementor also allows for responsive editing. Users can edit and view their pages or posts in desktop mode, tablet mode, or mobile mode. This allows users to gauge and make necessary adjustments in their designs and allows them to take account of how their pages or posts would look like in non desktop screens.
There are even settings to hide a page component depending on the screen. All users need to do is toggle that option in the "Advance" tab for the page component that the users need to hide. Here is in action for an image widget.
This is a really good feature because it allows users to see and provides some control over page components when the screen changes.
The next feature is the finder, which allows users to quickly jump between pages and posts. It also allows quick access to dashboard pages among other things.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Yet another feature that adds efficiency are keyboard shortcuts.
These shortcuts save users a lot of time.
Lastly, the last feature is that Elementor is a "what you see is a what you get" editor so that how the page or post looks line when being edited is what the final product looks like,
As an example, here is what an edited page looks like.
And this is what the page actually looks like.
Elementor Pro Features
Most of the features in the previous chapter are also present in Elementor Pro. However, in this section we will be looking at Elementor Pro features.
Let's now look at some features which only Elementor Pro
Pro Widgets and Pro Templates
We've already mentioned these features in previous sections, but we will be repeating it again. Elementor Pro comes with over 50 widget available. Click this link to see all widgets (Note: the e–commerce plugins are no longer part of Elementor Pro). It also comes with professionally designed templates. Click this link to see all kits (which are a collection of page templates) and individual page templates. Lastly, view the block templates in the "Add Template" window to see all pre-made section templates (Note: there is no link online to view these; they can only be viewed from the "Add Template" window)
Global Widgets
The next feature are global widgets which are widgets that have a shared instance. This means that an edit on the widget in one page or post of the site would affect all other pages or posts which the widget appears on. This is also works for widgets on the same page. Take a look at the image below. In the image, we declared a text editor widget as a global widget, duplicated it, and then made changes. We can see that a change in one of the widgets also produced changes in another.
This is very useful when users need to edit a widget that appears in multiple places. No need to edit multiple elements for a single page nor is there a need to navigate elsewhere.
Dynamic Content
Users are not limited to adding static content to a page or post. Users can add dynamic content too. This is done through the "Theme Elements" widgets we saw earlier. These widgets base their contents on the site's contents. Let's check one of these widgets – the Nav Menu widget. This is the widget displaying a menu.
When we delete a menu item as seen below
The widget's contents also change.
This feature is useful because once combined with static content, it allows for the creation of "personalized and dynamic sites".
Theme Builder
The next feature we will look at is the Elementor Theme Builder. This feature allows users to create reusable templates. Users can create templates for components which are commonly used such as headers and footers.
Let's view an example. In the images below, we created a header.
Then we placed some contents in the template's page editor then save it.
After saving, we can then import the template, through the "Add Template" interface
The Theme Builder isn't limited to headers and footers. Users can also create templates for different kinds of pages as well. This feature is really useful especially when users need to design similar looking pages or posts. No need to recreate a page component from scratch multiple times.
Popup Builder
Elementor Pro also has a Popup Builder. This feature allows users to easily create and use popups in pages or posts. Creating a popup is similar to creating page templates.
Users need to add content in the popup's editing page then save.
And then finally, users have to link it to a button.
Here's an image of the popup in action.
That's it. It's that easy to create a popup using Elementor Pro
Elementor WooCommerce Builder
The last Elementor Pro feature we will look at is the Elementor WooCommerce Builder. This is simply the Elementor Interface with WooCommerce widgets (note: as was previously mentioned this can only work if WooCommerce is an active plugin). The WooCommerce Builder can be accessed from the Theme Builder by creating a "Single Product" or "Product Archive " template. Likewise the process of creating these templates is similar to non-WooCommerce templates.
Here is the WooCommerce Builder in action for a single product template. On the side panel, we can that the widgets are different.
And here it is in action for Product Archives
To learn more about the Elementor WooCommerce Builder visit this page and also the tutorials page.
Other Elementor Features – Open Source and Extensible
Most software distributors keep the source code of their products hidden. Elementor doesn't. The Elementor team has decided to release the source code to the public. The Elementor Team also has released the source code of Elementor Pro to the public.
This allows third party developers to report bugs, resolve issues, and build add-ons for Elementor.
We think this is great since this allows developers to extend Elementor's capabilities. Developers can create their own extensions, develop widgets, and add custom functionality.
In fact, third parties have already released their add-ons to Elementor.
If you are a user who would like to develop with Elementor then this is really great for you.
Elementor Pro Support
Elementor offers good support. They have a knowledge base which consists of tutorials and other kinds of articles, a Frequently Asked Questions page, and a Youtube channel. They also have a very active, helpful, and responsive community. For users who purchased an Elementor Pro license, they get 24/7 hours ticketing support.
These are good. But there is one big downside.
Even with an Elementor Pro license, the Elementor team does not have chat support. Need an issue resolved immediately, too bad. The closest you will get is an email reply once you file a ticket. While this may be fine for users, it becomes arduous and tedious when users need an immediate reply. A chat support system can really help out many Elementor users. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that this is a priority for the Elementor team.
If this fine with you, then that's great.
Personally, we don't think that is good. Live support shouldn't be hidden behind a paywall. And more importantly, support should be also be convenient.
Now don't get us wrong, Elementor's support is decent. We just think it could be much better.
Elementor Pro Pricing
Let's talk about pricing.
The basic version of Elementor is free. Yes, it literally costs nothing.
However, Elementor Pro isn't and it can be quite expensive. There are three plans for Elementor Pro, with US$49 per year being the cheapest. With this plan, users get access to all Elementor Pro features and Support for one website. The other plans offer the same except that users get to install it on multiple sites. This is useful if you run multiple blogs and want to use Elementor Pro to design them or when you will be creating a good number of sites.
Is it worth the price? That depends on your needs.
View this page for more details.
Where Elementor Pro Can Improve
Elementor is a really good page builder. It is easy to use, it is intuitive, and it has lots of features. However, we think that it could do better not just as a product but also as a service. The first of these, is that Elementor has no clear page option to delete all the contents on the page or post being edited. Instead users have to delete what they need one-by-one. The next feature, we think that Elementor. The more important though is that they should add 24/7 chat support so that any concerns users have may be resolved immediately. Other than that, Elementor Pro has no other issues.
Should You Use Elementor Pro?
Now you may be asking yourself whether you should be using Elementor Pro.
It depends.
Will you be creating a simple post or page? Then the default editor should be enough.
However, for more complex pages and posts, you will need to use a page builder. And here we cannot help but recommend using Elementor Pro.
Because Elementor Pro is intuitive, easy to use, and feature-packed. It has a non-confusing interface, It offers drag and drop editing, and it has tons of widgets to choose from. In addition, it can be extended and built upon. And since its source code is open source, you can choose to build your own custom solutions.
For those reasons, we recommend using Elementor Pro.
If you aren't convinced, try using the free version of Elementor. It may not contain as many widgets and features, but it has the core page building functionality which Elementor Pro has. It'is also a very good way to gauge whether you would need the features which Elementor Pro offers.
Well, that sums up our Elementor review.
We've seen its features and capabilities first-hand and while we can tell that Elementor isn't perfect, we can also tell it is great. Judging by its current development, it can only get better from here.
If you think you should give it a go. We recommend that you do.
And… that's it.
Thank you for reading this review.

After hunting for quite some time for a strange application behavior, I finally found the reason.
The Problem
The Java application was behaving strangely in 4 out of 10 runs. It did not process all data available and assumed that the data input already ended. The application features several producer-consumer patterns, where one thread offers preprocessed data to the next one, passing it into a buffer where the next thread reads it from.
The consumer or producer fall into a wait state in case no data is available or the buffer is full. In case of a state change, the active threads notifies all waiting threads about the new data or the fact that all data is consumed.
On 2-core and 8-core machines, the application was running fine but when we moved it to 24-cores, it suddenly started to act in an unpredictable manner.

Homeschooling Under Fire: We Are Monitoring Legislation
Homeschooling Under Fire: Should Regulations Increase? A message from HSLDA
Please read the following message that we are passing on from Mike Smith of HSLDA.
Dear HSLDA members and friends,
Like many of you, we have heard the news of the parents in Riverside County who have been arrested and charged with horrific crimes against their children. We are aware of the outcry in the media and elsewhere to increase homeschool regulations in California. Several state legislators have indicated they are going to introduce legislation to take care of the "laxity" in the private school law by which homeschooling is conducted.
These efforts incorrectly assume that homeschooling is the problem here. Hasty legislation based on horrific and criminal behavior—behavior that has nothing to do with homeschooling—would be unfair to the thousands of law-abiding families in California who work hard to provide a safe and loving environment for their children.
One suggested change is to require homeschooling families to submit themselves to a mandatory child abuse reporter (such as a doctor) at least once a year, to ensure that neglect and/or abuse is not taking place in their home. Why is this a problem? Because it treats every homeschooling family as if they are suspected child abusers.
It makes no sense to assume that someone who makes a lawful choice—in this case, to homeschool—is more likely to act illegally. The principle that individuals are innocent until proven guilty has always been at the heart of the American tradition of liberty.
Homeschooling parents around the country have demonstrated a high degree of success in raising and nurturing their children—giving them the tools to grow and flourish. And we believe that children thrive when their parents are able to tailor their education and upbringing to each child's specific needs. This is the genius of homeschooling. It would be inappropriate and unjust to regulate homeschool freedom because of this aberrant case.
We wanted to assure you that HSLDA is working in partnership with Family Protection Ministries (FPM) and Christian Home Educators Association (CHEA) to protect our current homeschool freedom against further regulation.
We will keep you informed of any activity that impacts you. And if necessary, we will ask for your help should the legislature attempt to impose additional regulations on homeschooling families.
Finally, some of you have asked about the fire code requirements for homeschooling families in California. California law recognizes that a private school consisting of just parents and their children is not subject to the same fire code regulations as brick-and-mortar private schools.
We ask you to pray for God's favor on all our efforts. Thank you so much for your support.
FPM continues to closely monitor and work on any legislation that could impact homeschool families and will deal with individual legislative proposals as they are introduced. CHEA will continue to inform, support and encourage their members both directly as well as through their vital Support Network regarding the above issue. HSLDA will continue dealing with the legal issues of proposed legislation and helping all of us understand the effects on homeschooling and homeschool families.

Kevin Gillespie may be known for his love of Southern cuisine, but part of his heart—the part that helped design his Buckhead home—belongs to California. "I've always admired that midcentury modern aesthetic on the West Coast, particularly all the glass and natural light," says the Atlanta-based chef and restaurateur. "That 'less is more' philosophy is appealing, and the whole look just ticks off all the boxes of who I am."
Kevin's wife, Valerie, first discovered the house on Zillow. Designed by Cooper Carry, a national architecture firm founded in Atlanta, it had remained largely untouched since it was completed in 1968. She immediately knew they'd both love the ranch-style abode and submitted an offer even though Kevin was out of town.
To update the choppy floorplan, the Gillespies launched a major remodel—essentially keeping only the exterior shell and a fireplace intact while opening up interior spaces. Working with Kevin's restaurant contractor, Malone Construction, they spent a year installing new floors, reconfiguring the kitchen and baths, and transforming the sun porch. "We tried to be true to the period, but in some cases, we chose materials that we felt like the architects would have used if the materials were available in 1968," Kevin explains—such as energy-efficient windows and manufactured white-oak floors.
The Gillespies painted the low-slung exterior black, which harmonizes well with the home's wooded setting. "I'm a little bit of an architectural nerd," Kevin says, "and I've seen that the green in trees and grass shows up better with black as a backdrop." They selected a historic hue—"Lincoln Cottage Black" by Valspar—for its classic color. It took four coats to properly saturate the house.
The kitchen has the gravitas expected of a James Beard Award nominee and finalist on Bravo's Top Chef. Kevin started with heavy-duty appliances, though he decided a commercial refrigerator would've been too noisy and opted instead for a glass-front Sub-Zero. Conventional wisdom would have dictated light-colored cabinets as a contrast to all of the "big, burly appliances," as he calls them, but the chef opted for a darker palette. Cabinets wear a deep indigo, while countertops look almost metallic. In fact, they are made of a new material from Neolith that combines porcelain and iron for a dramatic, dark finish. A "wood" peninsula, another faux product from the same company, mimics a rare Lebanese cedar but is more durable. Yes, the high-tech materials were more expensive, Kevin concedes, but "I'm a buy-it-once kind of guy."
With that philosophy, Kevin and Valerie took their time acquiring furnishings that fit the scale of the house. Room & Board provided many pieces, including the living room's custom symmetrical sofas, purposely oversized to avoid the stiff feel of some vintage furniture. Animal-themed art appears throughout the house, along with paintings by Kevin himself—the light-filled sunroom often serves as his art studio.
Given Valerie's busy career as an attorney and Kevin's nonstop schedule (his latest venture, a restaurant called Gamechanger, will open in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium), this sprawling house in the woods serves as their sanctuary from outside pressures. "I wanted a house to make me calm," says Kevin. "And we wanted it to be very personal."

This Week In Techdirt History: October 7th – 13th
from the what-went-down dept
Five Years Ago
This week in 2013, the US government shut down. Former CIA director Morell used that as an excuse to skip an NSA surveillance review board meeting, while James Clapper warned that failing to pay the agency's mercenary contractors might lead to security problems. The TSA similarly used the shutdown as an excuse for letting a nine-year-old sneak on to a flight, and a lawsuit by tech companies over NSA surveillance was put on hold. Outside the government, some folks were having fun with the shutdown, such as the Russian pirates offering to host the NASA website, someone submitting a bug report to GitHub describing how "government occasionally shuts down", and Good Old Games started offering some free thematically-appropriate games to furloughed government workers.
But hey, at least Congress's members-only gym was deemed essential and kept open.
Ten Years Ago
This week in 2008, it was still the early days of the global financial crisis. Many self-serving and/or bizarre explanations popped up, blaming things like short selling and Wikipedia edit wars or, most strangely, flickering computer screens (according to author Tom Wolfe). Cooler heads took a closer look at the real causes: leverage and derivatives and a toxic, complex financial system.
Meanwhile, bogus stats and arguments were coming strong from the US Chamber of Commerce and members of congress in a push to get the president to sign the bill creating a copyright czar. At the same time, a judge ordered an injunction against Real's DVD copying software and for some inexplicable reason kept it secret, then extended it.
Also, long before the Snowden leaks and following Congress's capitulation on warrantless wiretapping, early leaks were already documenting NSA surveillance abuse.
Fifteen Years Ago
This week in 2003, as we took a look at the role of music retailers in the industry's failure to adapt, the record companies were trying to ape the success of DVDs by adding "extras" to CDs. That's extra content — not extras like BMG's new DRM system, which a researcher discovered could be defeated by holding down the shift key while inserting the disk. SunnComm, the company that made the laughably useless DRM, naturally announced plans to sue the researcher for besmirching their good name — but reversed course in less than 24 hours in the face of public outcry. The software industry, on the other hand, was just beginning to dip its toe into the waters of a DRM approach that would gain much more traction (even while still being quite easily circumvented): product activation codes.

BreachLock™ Security Testing offering mapped to PCI DSS Requirements
PCI DSS Requirement 6.1
The requirement 6.1 can be fulfilled by establishing a process to identify security vulnerabilities in your internal and external applications, by using reputable outside sources for security vulnerability information, and assign a risk ranking (for example, as 'high,' 'medium,' or 'low') to newly discovered security vulnerabilities
PCI DSS Requirement 6.2
To fulfill requirement 6.2 ensure that all system components and software are protected from known vulnerabilities by installing applicable vendor-supplied security patches. Install critical security patches within one month of release.
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.1
The requirement 11.3.1 covers the necessity to conduct external penetration testing at least once in every six months and after any significant change or upgrade of the organization's infrastructure or application.
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2
The requirement 11.3.2 includes all the requirements as discussed in 11.3.1, but instead of an external pen test, the organization needs to perform internal pen tests. These pen tests are required to be performed at least once every six months.
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.3
The requirement 11.3.3 says that the vulnerabilities (loopholes) found during the pen tests must be resolved and additional testing should be performed until the vulnerabilities are dealt with properly.
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.4
The goal of the requirement 11.3.4 is to verify that the segmentation methods used are efficient and operational and also the out-of-scope systems are isolated from the systems in cardholder data environment.

At the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences I'm teaching several courses and I'm supervising students:
- Economics. This is an introductory course to economics covering micro and macroeconomics. It deals with both standard economics as well as economics from a broader perspective taking into account insights from other disciplines and latest research.
- Economic Behaviour. As part of the master programme this course deals with both the traditional neoclassical model and extensions and alternatives. Focus is on the way actors, their behaviour and their interactions are perceived and modelled in orthodoxy and heterodoxy.
- Social Policy and Economy. This course covers the relevant aspects of social security and social policies. A comparative overview of the different facets of welfare states is offered.
- Social and Labour Policy. This course covers the content of 'Social Policy and Economy' plus labour market regulations, labour policies and employment policies.
- International Economic Development. It's a combination of International Economics with more applied topics, relevant for business students.
- Theories of Political Economy. Students get familiar with the seminal theories of the Political Economy approach. They are encouraged to widen their perspective on economics by recognising the social embeddedness of economic actors. Students learn to handle the pluralism of research perspectives and get acquainted with theoretical concepts essential for the understanding of issues of the day.
- Bachelor workshop: Scientific Writing. This is a preparatory course for the BA thesis. Students learn how to read and use academic papers, how to structure and how to write their theses. It includes a lot of writing exercises and examples.
- Project. Students define individual tasks within a project, formulate a time schedule with different project phases and milestones and implement the project.
- Interdisciplinary Projects. Similar to 'Projects', interdisciplinary projects are faculty-wide, and economics students work together with students from disciplines like computer science, psychology or design.

"Despite the fact that Australia's on the verge of becoming the world's largest exporter of LNG [Liquified Natural Gas], there'll be no new revenues from the primary tax on oil and gas for the next two decades and perhaps even longer," Tax Justice Network (TJN) researcher Jason Ward said on October 10.
The TJN is a coalition of churches, welfare groups, unions and other civil society organisations.
This primary tax is the Petroleum Resources Rent Tax (PRRT), initiated by Bob Hawke's Labor government in the 1980s.
Despite the massive boom in LNG production, which will allow Australia to overtake Qatar as the world's leading producer by 2020, the tax take has stalled.
TJN convenor Mark Zirnsak said the deductions companies can claim against the tax are so broad, the community is being denied sufficient return: "We need to make sure we're getting the benefit for the community," he said.
The TJN has called for a parliamentary inquiry to investigate why the tax is raising so little revenue. "We want the parliament to identify the loopholes and to identify what changes to the law need to be made to fix the loopholes," he said.
One of TJN's concerns is the 18% "uplift" rate, which allows companies to deduct all their exploration costs and more.
Zirnsak said the community needs to have a discussion about how much potential revenue it is foregoing: "Into the future, we could be losing hundreds of billions of dollars on the gas boom", he warned.
"This is important, because we want a decent society where we can fund our schools, our hospitals, our universities; we need this revenue for the benefit of the community."
Just 5% of oil and gas projects in Australia are paying anything toward the PRRT. Only eight out of 149 resource companies paid PRRT in 2014–15.
The Greens have backed the call for a parliamentary inquiry into what Senator Larissa Waters called a "fossil-fuelled rort".
Adding to the pressure, the November 29 Sydney Morning Herald reported: "Multinational companies are claiming billions of dollars in questionable deductions while exploiting the nation's natural riches, using accounting tricks allowed to flourish under a hands-off government approach that is dudding Australian taxpayers of royalties.
"Underlying concern over whether the $200 billion liquefied natural gas industry is paying its fair share of tax, Auditor-General Grant Hehir discovered a $5 billion bonanza of deductions claimed by the operators of the North-West Shelf project in just one 18-month period."
On November 28, Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson slammed the Turnbull government: "They have been trying to penny-pinch from backpackers and some of the lowest paid workers in the country, and yet they have been blind to potentially multi-billion dollar rorts from massive multi-national corporations."
Certainly, a parliamentary inquiry into the oil and gas mining industry — extended into the mining industry as a whole — would be a valuable platform for exposing the tax rorts and other crimes of the multinational corporate gangsters.
But we need to go much further if we are to achieve economic justice and popular control over this critical sector of industry. As Socialist Alliance advocates the only way of doing this is to nationalise the mining and energy industries and place them under community and workers' control.
"Put the country's huge mineral and energy resources under democratic management", it argues. "That way, all the mineral and energy wealth can be used for the good of the community and the environment. Mining can be carried out in a planned and rational way to protect the environment and recognise Aboriginal rights."
Green Left Weekly has been campaigning for the nationalisation of the mining, energy and banking industries for years. Unlike the mainstream media, we stand firmly on the side of Indigenous people, working people and the poor in their struggle for economic and environmental justice.

"How long will the pain last?" a broken hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your Life." I have to answer truthfully.
We never quite forget.
No matter how many years pass, we remember.
The loss of a loved one is like a major operation.
Part of us is removed, and we have a scar for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage.
There are things to do, people to care for,
tasks that call for full attention.
But the pain is still there,
not far below the surface.
We see a face that looks familiar,
hear a voice that echoes,
see a photograph in someone's album,
see a landscape that once we saw together,
and it seems as though a knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully.. And mixed with joy, too.
Because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow,
it brings back happiness with it.
How long will the pain last?
All the rest of your life.
But the things to remember is that not only the pain will last, but the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life. The more love, the more tears.
If this be true, Then how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether.
For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.
– Martha White
