SBHE Appoints Chancellor, MaSU and NDSCS Search Committees
BISMARCK, N.D. - During an Oct. 16, 2006, the State Board of Higher Education appointed search committees to assist in selection of the next chancellor of the North Dakota University System and presidents of Mayville State University and the North Dakota State College of Science. Each committee will be made up of campus, community and board representatives.
"The work of the search committees will be vitally important to the future of the North Dakota University System," said John Q. Paulsen, SBHE president. "Each committee member lends a unique perspective to the selection process and has demonstrated strong commitment to our students and our state. The searches will require members to give generously of their time and expertise, and we are deeply appreciative of the guidance they will provide."
The chancellor's position will become vacant in July 2007 when Chancellor Eddie Dunn retires. The MaSU presidency became vacant when Dr. Pamela Balch resigned in June 2006; Dr. Gary Hagen currently serves as interim president. The NDSCS presidency became vacant in September 2006 when Dr. Sharon Hart was reassigned to interim executive director of the College Technical Education Council; Dr. John Richman currently serves as interim president.
The next steps in each search process will be selection of a search consultant and development of a search timeline. A list of search committee members follows.

How to choose a safe bank
Because I can't go around legally pentesting every major US bank in my area, how do you guys go about choosing one, especially if you're going to use online banking? This one bank I was with had a maximum password character limit that was pretty low...but I closed that account because of financial disputes with the bank though.
First off all, online transactional system should be standarts compilant, which means no matter which browser you use it just works.
Dunno about USA but in Poland there are banks where transactional system works only for IE, some even force you to install a separate certificate, so you are able to use that online system only from one computer*, pretty useless as for ONLINE account, some even require to sign with your own blood
[*] unless you install that certicicate into Windows on VirtualBox and keep that image with you on the flash pendrive.

vermaden's: links resources deviantart spreadbsd
Banks in the Netherlands require a login name and password, but for doing transactions most banks require an additional confirmation
Giro/ING sends you codesheet with 100 numbered codes. Each time you actually do a transaction they ask you to enter one these codes. Please enter code# 34.
Instead of a the code you also can ask them to send such a new transcation confirmation code your mobile phone via SMS.
ABN-AMRO use a kind of calculator. Their site shows some digits as a challenge to enter on the calculator. The calculator processes the challenge and shows a code you have to enter to confirm the transaction.
As long as you keep your codesheet safe and don't lend your calculator to somebody else, nobody can transfer money out of your account.
@Vermaden, both French and German governments advised people, for security reasons, not to use Internet Explorer anymore. Tell your bank
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
My bank uses https/xhtml 1.0 for the online transactional system, you login with id and password, but if you want to do some operations, you will have to enter another code provided by the SMS service on the phone, of course new SMS/code for each transaction.
Simple and secure.
... and my account is free, I do not pay for anything (monthly fee's/fee per transfer/etc).

Indeed, at work we have one of those rabobank calculators and everyone uses it.
Nice pictures btw
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
I was not referring to the calculators, where you have to slot in your bank/ATM card, those are the new ones.
In 1990 when my wife and I setup a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company in Holland, ABN (yes, before the merge with AMRO), had a calculator that could read a kind of flashing bar code from your monitor. You had to hold the calculator against the monitor for a few seconds, then it would display a code you had to type in.
It also gave a numerical stimulus as alternative, in case for some reason, the calculator couldn't read the code from the monitor.
That was twenty years ago, before the Internet became popular and you had to use a 1200 or 2400 baud modem to do your 'telebanking' with a viditel emulator. Probably most of you were still in primary school at that time
Those calculators were somehow tied to a certain number of bank accounts. Some time later, we did telebanking for two other companies, and you really had to use the correct calculator. Else it just didn't work.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
SHEESH J65nko, that was a good bank. Doing that kind of stuff back in them days is really a surprise, but I guess some folks do try and get it right.
(and people say I am paranoid... lol)
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
Good banks banks have a strict separation between front office and back office and are really paranoia.
For a long time if you wanted to do "internet" banking with the Dutch Rabobank, you had to dial in with a POTS modem to their private TCP/IP network.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump

Release Date: April 23, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo's annual menu of intellectually stimulating, fun and sometimes offbeat summer workshops and courses kicks off next week with a program that will give participants an introduction to preparing herbal remedies and cooking a wild food buffet.
The noncredit workshop for adults ages 18 or older is called "Practical Herbalism: Wild Foods and Medicines." Taught by Sanford Geffner, a faculty member in UB's Social Science Interdisciplinary Degree program, the course involves both lecture and fieldwork in plant identification, plant ecology and practical herbalism through the collection and preparation of wild foods and medicines.
The course runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for two consecutive Sundays: April 28 at the Erie County Forest Lands in Sardinia and May 5 at the Buffalo Ski Club in West Falls.
"This is a unique opportunity for people to experience the bounty of our local botanicals and to experience that bounty in a very direct manner," says Geffner. "We will do our best to bring the gifts of the past into the modern world, and in so doing will keep participants intimately connected to natural sources of food and medicine."
Each session of Practical Herbalism will include fieldwork to develop participants' botanical skills, giving them experience sampling wild foods and medicines. The course also will teach students how to prepare herbal remedies and a wild food buffet.
This approach of learning, gathering and preparing herbal foods and medicines will serve as a comprehensive introduction to the field of practical herbalism, according to Geffner. Cost per participant is $95. To register, visit http://cas.buffalo.edu/summer/workshops.php#Herbalism.
The herbalism workshop is the first offering in the UBThisSummer curriculum of summer camps and workshops presented by the College of Arts and Sciences. For more information on the full schedule, which includes courses on subjects ranging from a summer strings workshop to advanced statistics to how to talk to your children about sexual health, go to: http://www.cas.buffalo.edu/summer/workshops.php.

Can Roddick win another Major?
He's in Brisbane now and the local media are running this story about him and his views on our Aussie hero Lleyton Hewitt:
American drawcard Andy Roddick says Lleyton Hewitt is anything but a spent force as both former world No.1s strive to rebound from disheartening ends to 2010.
A refreshed and renewed Roddick officially began preparations from next month's Australian Open with an hour-long hit at Pat Rafter Arena on Wednesday, where next week he'll attempt to defend his Brisbane International title.
At the same time, Hewitt will make his long-awaited comeback from a broken hand by teaming with Alicia Molik in the Hopman Cup in Perth.
Hewitt's injury, sustained in Australia's gut-wrenching 3-2 Davis Cup world group play-off loss to Belgium in September, has seen the 29-year-old drop to 54th on the world rankings after starting the year at No.22.
But Roddick firmly believes Hewitt still has what it takes and can again return to the top-10, so long as his body holds up.
``Lleyton is always a champ,'' the Texan said.
``With him it's health at this point.
``There's no question whenever he's been able to put together six, seven, eight healthy months he's put together some goods results.
``The last two years probably haven't been the best of his career so far, but if he's healthy and motivated he knows how to win tennis matches.
``Those intangibles are something that only a few guys have and he certainly has them.''
Like Hewitt, Roddick has plenty to prove to himself after an illness-wrecked season which originally promised much after title wins in Brisbane and Miami.
The world No.8 crashed out early in the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open but a case of the energy-sapping disease mononucleosis explained his loss of form.
``For me, it's just a matter of getting right, getting healthy -- I battled sickness for a big part of last year and from there I just felt like I was playing catch-up,'' he said.
``You train hard and you get hurt in training coming back. You don't train you rest and you try and come back and your body is not right and it shows.
``I think it's the first time I've felt right since last May so when you are fit it takes a lot of the mental pressure off.
``You feel like you can play any way you want so I feel fresh and I feel enthused and ready.''
Having worked overtime in the off-season, Roddick felt Brisbane could again propel him up the rankings after beating Czech Radek Stepanek to win last year's final.
``I came in last year and hadn't been playing much so this was a really good springboard into the year for me,'' he said, adding it was the best preparation for Melbourne Park.
``I like being in the same country but also I like this event - my wife enjoys coming here so let's not pretend I make any decisions.''
He will start as the second seed behind world No.4 Swede Robin Soderling when the tournament starts on Sunday, but is pleased Rafter Arena has included Hawk-Eye for the first time after being a critic of its absence in 2010.
``It will keep me out of trouble,'' Roddick said.

Happy Birthday to Me
3 comments:
Happy 51! From Ian's bike it looks as he is as tall as you. Looking forward to the new cross bike purchase for the fall.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a Happy Birthday!ReplyDelete
Thanks all. Not a bad day...ReplyDelete
Yeah, I'm almost 5'11" and Ian is about 3" shorter then me. I usually ride a 56cm road bike, though my Ibis pictured above is sold as a 55cm. Top tube length is 56.5cm however, so feels like a 56cm to me.
Ian's Redline is sold as a 44cm, though with the sloping top tube, fits bigger then that. In any case, too small for him now. Plan is to score him a bigger 'cross frame/fork soon, then transfer his SRAM Rival/wheels/etc over. I have a few frame ideas in the works.

Media Statements & Speeches
Statement: February 8, 2011Docket No.: AD11-6-000
Statement of Commissioner Marc Spitzer on priorities for addressing risks to the reliability of the bulk-power system
Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to hear from stakeholders with regard to reliability and the implementation of our reliability program. I also want to thank Congressman Franks for his leadership on reliability issues, especially with regard to electromagnetic pulses.
The starting point for me on any discussion with the industry on reliability is to acknowledge that FERC and the regulated community have the same goal: to ensure the reliable operation of the Nation's transmission grid. I know the industry and NERC take their obligations seriously. I commend the industry and NERC for their hard work on these critical matters and I am committed to working with the industry and NERC to achieve our common goal.
I recognize, however, that some have disagreed with the role FERC has played with regard to the development of the reliability standards. Section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) imposes responsibilities upon FERC and NERC regarding the development of reliability standards. I believe we struck the right balance over our respective roles in the recent order regarding the definition of the bulk electric system. Revision to Electric Reliability Organization Definition of Bulk Electric System, Order No. 743, 133 FERC ¶ 61,150 (2010). FERC offered guidance but left to the industry the role of developing a standard to address the Commission's concerns. Order No. 743 established a template for the future. I hold no false hope that our approach in Order No. 743 will eliminate all disagreements between FERC and NERC. However, as we continue to work together towards our common goal, I believe we can and will find more common ground.
As for today's discussion, the topic is "priorities." I consider "priorities" in at least two ways. First, I think of a "priority" in terms of identifying specific reliability standards or key reliability issues that we need to address first to best assure the reliable operation of the system. I perceive this as a "what" question. Second, in answering the "what" question, we cannot lose sight of the need to be sensitive to the "how" question. That is: how should the Commission, NERC and the industry best ensure that the reliability standards address Commission orders and other important reliability developments without interfering with ongoing work or the reliable operation of the grid as required by the FPA. I look forward to hearing about both aspects of the reliability question today and in any follow-up comments.
Finally, I'd like to thank all those in attendance, our colleagues from the states and international regulators for their effort and attention to these matters.

Drivers along Fairview Road soon will be seeing something this region hasn't seen much of in a while: New construction.
Work has begun on the new southern regional headquarters for the Bank of North Carolina and steel is scheduled to rise out of the ground next week, according to J.D. Goodrum Co. Inc., the project's general contractor.
The bank is building its 13,000-square-foot headquarters at 5980 Fairview Road. Construction is expected to take 10 months.
When finished, Bank of North Carolina customers will be banking at new 2-story steel structure wrapped in a glass curtain wall system, according to the contractor. The interior will feature a lounge with a fireplace. There will also be a drive-through teller option.
Cranes and construction crews were common place around the Charlotte area in the 2000s, until the recession began in late 2007 and new construction ground to halt.
Established in 1991, the Bank of North Carolina has roughly $2.2 billion in assets and offices in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Contemporary Family Services, Maryland's second-largest foster care provider, has appealed the state's decision to terminate its license when it expires in mid-March.
The appeal, which will be heard by a state administrative law judge, puts on hold a decision by the Department of Human Resources to terminate the state's relationship with Hyattsville-based Contemporary Family Services and require the company's foster parents to transfer to other providers.
If the judge upholds the state's decision, the company must return its license and cease foster care services immediately, according to a Feb. 21 letter from the Department of Human Resources.
The Department of Human Resources has accused Contemporary Family Services officials of falsifying board meeting minutes and failing to pay its foster parents and employees on time. State officials also have said the company allowed documentation, including background checks and proof of first-aid training, needed to certify its foster homes to lapse.
Martin H. Schreiber II and Jack Gohn, Baltimore-based lawyers representing Contemporary Family Services, said the company is challenging the state's decision, which Gohn called "arbitrary and capricious." He said he would rebut specific allegations at the appeal hearing.
Gohn noted that foster care families who work with Contemporary Family Services feel "immense loyalty and affection" for the company.
"An agency that is able to inspire that degree of identification and respect and admiration is not one whose license ought to be pulled," he said.
No date has been set for the appeal hearing. The company's license is set to expire March 16.
Ian Patrick Hines, spokesman for the Department of Human Resources, said the agency stands by its decision to deny Contemporary Family Services' license renewal.
"We feel very strongly that we were justified in our initial decision," he said.
Roughly 40 foster parents and company officials met Monday in the company's Hyattsville office. Gohn said the meeting was called, in part, to inform foster parents they don't need to take any action while the appeal is pending.
The private two-hour meeting was closed to the media.
Several of the foster parents attending the meeting Monday came to the company's defense.
Travis Stanley, a Baltimore City foster parent, said he has been happy with the services provided by Contemporary Family Services. Stanley, a foster parent for six years, said: "They are doing everything they can to rectify the situation."
Diane Cephas, a foster care parent from Upper Marlboro who has been with the company for six years, said the state needs to consider its responsibility to the children and the possible distress it could cause if Contemporary Family Services loses its license, including the possibility of foster children being shifted to new homes.
"I have had no problems," Cephas said after Monday's meeting.
Beverly Hallums-Brooks of Clinton said in an earlier phone interview that she has been frustrated with the company for paying her monthly stipends late. She said her concerns "fall on deaf ears" and that she would have transferred companies earlier but was worried that would have caused her to lose her foster son.
"It's frustrating. I am upset. I am stressed out," said Hallums-Brooks, a foster parent for seven years. "They have been on the wrong side of me."
Hines said the Department of Human Resources is reaching out to the company's foster parents to discuss the situation with them. He said during the appeal process the parents have the option of staying with Contemporary Family Services or moving to a new provider.
In a letter to the foster parents on Wednesday, the state wrote that it is "committed to a smooth transition process" for foster children and parents that aims to cause "minimum of inconvenience to you and no impact to the children under your care."
Several parents expressed concern that the state's action would prove overly burdensome for them, because being recertified with a new company could involve additional training or new documentation.
Hines, the department spokesman, said the agency has received about 10 complaints from parents who are concerned about the process. He added that the state's action was prompted by "the failure of Contemporary Family Services to live up to the responsibilities laid out in their contract" and isn't a reflection on the parents.
"We're taking the action that we're taking in light of what is in the best interest of the children," Hines said.
Foster parents are invited to call the department if they have any questions or concerns, Hines said.

Beautiful Blues in Different Intensities
Blue is one of the most popular colors used in the home. Depending on the intensity, blue can be soothing, dramatic, bold and well, just about anything you want it to be.
It's well known how successful a pale blue can be for interiors. It picks up light perfectly and exudes a relaxing vibe throughout the room and even the entire home. But what if you went totally dark blue — maybe even almost black? Try it in a room such as the dining room or bedroom. A deep navy on the walls in the dining room provides a super dramatic environment that'll keep guests coming back for more!
An easy way to try blue on for size is in the bathroom. Use sea glass accessories on the walls or countertops or even install an ocean blue backsplash. You'll think you've been whisked away to a fabulous spa.

Keuchel helps Springer's first homer stand up
DETROIT -- This was one of those rare days when the Astros made winning look pretty easy, even against the hottest team in baseball.
That tends to happen when your starting pitcher is able to command the strike zone and your offense comes alive with three home runs. Such was the case in Thursday afternoon's series finale at Comerica Park, enabling the Astros to snap a five-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Tigers.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- This was one of those rare days when the Astros made winning look pretty easy, even against the hottest team in baseball.
That tends to happen when your starting pitcher is able to command the strike zone and your offense comes alive with three home runs. Such was the case in Thursday afternoon's series finale at Comerica Park, enabling the Astros to snap a five-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Tigers.View Full Game Coverage
Lefty Dallas Keuchel (3-2) pitched a season-high 7 2/3 innings and allowed two runs, six hits and zero walks while striking out seven batters for his fifth quality start of the season, and George Springer, Carlos Corporan and Matt Dominguez added homers to help snap Detroit's eight-game winning streak.
"He went through a stretch like this last year when he was arguably our best pitcher," manager Bo Porter said of Keuchel. "We've seen him pitch the way he's pitching now. I think it's now more consistent. It's start after start after start. He's understanding himself more. He is taking a lot of pride in his pregame preparation, and he does a good job pitching to the scouting report."
Astros starting pitchers posted a 2.96 ERA in 27 1/3 innings over the four-game series, earning a tip of the hat from Detroit manager Brad Ausmus.
"You know, they threw really well, even the blowout game, [Detroit's 11-4 win on Tuesday]," Ausmus said. "Their starters actually did a pretty good job against us. We were able to come away with three out of four, but they were quality starts, really, for the most part."
Springer, the hot-shot rookie Astros fans have been clamoring to see for the past year, has been gradually heating up with the bat, and he finally displayed the kind of power he had shown in the Minor Leagues by hitting his first career homer -- a solo drive to right-center -- in the fifth.
Springer was able to retrieve the ball from a fan in exchange for a signed bat, and he plans to give it to his father when he sees him on Friday in Baltimore.
"I was just trying to hit something hard, trying to get something up in the zone," said Springer, whose homer came in his 78th Major League at-bat. "It sounded good off the bat. I was able to get it out."
Perhaps an even more important development for the Astros was the fact that they didn't stop there. Houston rallied for two more runs in the fifth when Corporan walked with two outs, L.J. Hoes (3-for-3 to break an 0-for-20 slump) singled and Jose Altuve lined a two-run double to left to put the Astros ahead, 3-2.
"Just that two-out walk was the dagger," Tigers starter Drew Smyly said. "That was the difference in the ballgame, the two-out walk and the base hit. I thought I got Altuve and didn't get the call, [but three pitches later]: double. That was the difference."
Corporan's homer gave the Astros a 4-2 lead in the seventh, and Dominguez hit a mammoth two-run shot to left in the ninth for a 6-2 lead. The Astros have hit at least three home runs four times this season.
"It was nice to see George finally hit one," Porter said. "I thought the biggest hit of the game was the Altuve two-out double that put us ahead. That's the big hit that had been eluding us during this stretch. That put us ahead, and it was a hit that was very much needed for our offense. It was good to get the tack-on runs we were able to get -- Corporan with the home run and Dominguez the big home run in the ninth inning that gave us a little bit more of a cushion."
Smyly, who shared a house with Keuchel when they both played at the University of Arkansas, took the loss after giving up three runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings.
"I really don't want to hang everything on Drew Smyly," Ausmus said. "Really, the credit goes to Keuchel, the way he pitched. He kept guys off balance. He threw fastballs for strikes on both sides, mixed four pitches with a cutter, curve and change in there as well. And he really just pitched an outstanding game, kept the ball down. We did not make very much hard contact off him, so it's more about him than it is about what Smyly was doing."
Keuchel allowed a run in the second when Austin Jackson beat out a potential inning-ending double-play ball before Nick Castellanos hit an RBI double. Victor Martinez put the Tigers ahead, 2-0, with a solo homer on an 0-2 pitch, like the long ball he hit the previous night.
"He's just a good hitter," Corporan said of Martinez. "If you're going to make a mistake, you're going to pay for it. We leave the ball a little bit in the middle, and he hit it. That's what big league hitters do, hit mistakes out of ballparks. We paid for that."
Keuchel began the day leading the Majors in ground-ball-to-fly-ball ratio (2.72) since the start of 2013. On Thursday, he recorded 13 groundouts and one fly-ball out.
"I'm just trying to pitch," Keuchel said. "I'm taking the Mark Buehrle approach in that the less pitches [the hitter sees], the better. You get into an eight-, nine-pitch at-bat, it gives the hitter a favor because he sees more pitches and knows what they do. I was fortunate enough to go 7 2/3 today, and I'll try to do it next time as well."

That Time I Walked into the Boy's Bathroom
That's right.
I, Jessica Nelson, have unwittingly walked into the men's bathroom. Worse. I've used it without realizing until too late where I was. (That was a mad scramble out, actually, it was very strategic, involving much peering beneath the stall for a clear coast).
But in this particular time, daydreaming or rushing was not my reason for pushing the wrong door. And I was in the worst place possible to make this mistake.
Middle school.
I have this little habit that I do quite well. It's called Ralking (I just made a word for it up *grin*). As you might have guessed, the definition of this word is reading while walking.
There was a book in front of my nose when I pushed the wrong door.
What is the funniest, weirdest or stupidest thing you've ever done or said while reading a book? Have you seen any crazy stuff happen while someone was reading?

I. Me! Drew a blank. Although, I can think of all kinds of stupid things I did while not reading! LOL
Hilarious post!

I can't think of anything I've done while reading, but my sister has ruined two pots of mac and cheese because she had her book in the kitchen. Love this post!

Wow, that's hilarious!
I can't think of anything. But when I read, I get annoyed at anyone who interrupts me. So I probably don't act too nice. I used to get so mad at my parents when I wanted to read at the table but it was "family time." :P

Oh, you're Belle! You're Belle! :D
I don't need a book as a cover. I'll walk straight into someone w/out a book as an excuse. ;)

LOL Jessica! Well...I just think Ralking is a good reason for doing stupid things. I don't want to think about the stupid things I did for NO reason. LOL
Sarah, that's hilarious and sounds exactly like something I'd do!!!
Oh Lindsay, me too. I ALWAYS read when I'm eating. So, I have a hilarious video to share with you. I'll send it to you on Facebook. :-)
hahaa, Wendy! I can see that about you. *grin* I am Belle, but without the beauty and without two men vying for my amazing attentions. LOL

Oh, I love this. And I totally did the same thing...also in middle school! But I realized it quickly enough to duck out before being spotted. :)
Dumbest thing I ever did while reading...burn the peanut brittle simmering on the stove I was supposed to be watching. My mom walked into a kitchen filled with smoke. I was a kid, totally engrossed in Nancy Drew...yeah, the brittle was black!

Funny- ralking!
This reminds of a series I read in middle school- Megan the Klutz. She was always humilating herself, but I loved the way she learned to hold her head up!
Look at you now:)
- March 7, 2012 at 10:25 AM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Oh no Melissa!!! LOL I bet your mom was very annoyed. I don't know if anyone saw me...I didn't use it so I guess I saw the urinals in time. lol
Tamika, I never heard of that series but it sounds super cute. ;-)

LOL! That is hilarious - well, probably more so now. :) I'm sure it wasn't so funny at the time, especially being in middle school.

OMG, I love it!! Ralking is a great work. The only thing I've done when ralking is run into walls or stub my toes!
- March 7, 2012 at 10:38 AM

Stacy, I don't know if anyone noticed and I didn't try to find out! lol
Ouch, Linda! You might not be so good at Ralking. :-)

Haha! That is too funny, Jessica. I can't think of anything too crazy, other than letting something boil over on the stove. :)

Oh yes, I've walked into the men's bathroom at a pizza place one time, and used it before I realized it wasn't the ladies room. (This was about 15 years ago, but I never forgot it) Thank God, no men came in.
I only realized it when I came out and saw the sign. Where was my mind at when I walked in? lol

- Sandra Orchard said...
Too funny! For some reason this reminds me of watching a dog, who turned to look at me coming up on the other side of the street and then it walked straight into a telephone pole. Neither of us were reading :)
- March 7, 2012 at 2:07 PM
- Cheryl Linn Martin said...
Totally funny, Jessica!
Nope, I've never walked while reading--usually sitting in front of the TV. I also write a lot in front of the TV. Once in a while I've read or written a word that was just spoken--makes for funny sentences!

Yikes!!! In Middle School? Glad you made it out okay. :)
Ralking is a great word. :)

- Jessica Nelson said...
Sarah, that happens to me all the time without a book. lol
Loree!!! Me too, that's what I did once at a bowling alley. *cringe*
Oh Sandra, I think I'd be laughing so hard if I saw a dog walk into a pole!

Me too, Erica, me too. *wiping brow*

My very first RWA meeting (Virginia Romane Writers), I was so nervous, I walked right into the men's bathroom. And there was a man in it. He looked mad. I was mortified!!

- Beth K. Vogt said...
Ralking. Love the word. May I quote you?
And I can think of way-too many missed conversations while I was Ralking or just sitting and reading -- is that Ritting?
And, the thing is, my family doesn't find this funny at all.

Hi Jess -
How embarrassing for you!
My moments usually involve forgetting people's names. I'm sure there are other things, but...I forget. LOL!
Susan :)

- Karen Lange said...
Oh my goodness, if that experience doesn't make your heart pound... Surely there's a story scene idea here somewhere!
- March 7, 2012 at 10:05 PM
More than once??? OK, once or even twice but after that I think I'd double or triple check where I was going. LOL That said, I always love to snack while I eat and also more than once I have spilled a cup of coffee or other drink because I just reached for it without looking at it and of course missed it and knocked it over. I also have almost eaten a napkin instead of taking a bite of a sandwich or a cookie that I was eating. I haven't been able to come up with a word for that yet. You gave me a good laugh for the day though...thanks. :)

I drew a blank as well. I like to snuggle in a chair or on the couch when reading, don't usually get up to walk. Love the new word though!!
- March 8, 2012 at 7:54 AM
- Julie Dao said...
HAHAHA!! I've done this, too, but I never went in far enough to actually use the bathroom! I wandered in one time and saw a man standing in front of the mirror (not the urinal, thank GOODNESS) and we just looked at each other, and I turned and silently walked out. That is very "Belle" of you to walk around with a book :) :)

- Caitlin said...
I gasped out loud and then fell into a silly fit of giggles at the image of you walking into the boy's room at a middle school!
I can't think of anything too crazy that I've done. While I was reading once my husband said, "I love you." Not thinking about it I replied with, "I love you today." I'm fairly certain that "today" was supposed to be "too". I've yet to live that one down!

I'm just glad to hear you specified "unwittingly walked into the men's bathroom." It's when you wittingly do it that you have to start worrying.
Fun post Jessie! Though I used to try to sneak in glimpses of my book while sitting at stop lights or traffic jams, I finally learned it was wiser to be sitting or lying down at home to read.
Probably had something to do with the way I drove through that haystack. It went a little something like this: http://tinyurl.com/44fu5b8

Oh no, Anita!! I'm going to check out your link when I get home tonight. LOL
Caitlin, that is really too cute. :-) Thanks for sharing it!
Oh no, Julie!!! LOL You were caught. I'm glad he was just standing in front of the mirror. lol

Hahahaaa, Jill!!! I'm sorry he was mad but how funny was that? lol
Sure Beth, quote away. I don't know if I'm the first to make it up and really, all I did was substitute a letter. :-)
Susan, forgetfulness can be bliss. lol

Traci, I love to snuggle while reading too. Nothing better!!
Karen, you're right. This def. needs to be worked into a book. :-)
Anon, thanks for stopping by! I'm glad my weirdness made you smile. :-) You made me laugh too because I've never almost ate a napkin!! lol Too funny.

That's funny, Jessica! I've inavdertently wandered into the men's room on more occasions than I should say. One time in San Francisco, I was out with family. We were on the peer at night and I saw a sign that said RESTROOMS. I walked into the first door. Wouldn't you know, four men all turned to stare at me in horror! LOL! Whoops...
Have a great weekend!

Cute idea. All sorts of things might happen. I usually do my reading sitting down, so I don't have any funny stories. So glad your experience wasn't more embarrassing.

Omg. I actuallt just walked into the boys bathroom today in middle school. The worst thing is I walked in asking if someone could hand me my shirt. Im in the musical and we were changing. I realised I forgot my regular shirt and walked in. any help 4 living it down?
- March 12, 2012 at 9:54 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
Oh no, Ashlyn! lol I don't know if you can live it down. I'd roll with it and just laugh it off.
I've done it more than once and eventually it's just got to be funny, you know?
Nancy, reading while sitting down does seem the safter route. lol
Hahaaa! No shame, Jennifer! I've done the same thing. :-)

Inside Higher Ed
A former president of Valdosta State University should be held personally liable for the wrongful expulsion of a student, a federal jury said Friday. The jury found that Ronald M. Zaccari violated the student's due process rights and must cover the $50,000 due to Hayden Barnes, who was expelled after Zaccari claimed he had been indirectly threatened by a collage Barnes posted on Facebook to protest the construction of two parking garages. In forcing Barnes to withdraw, Zaccari ignored the advice of his staff and circumvented normal procedure that should have awarded Barnes with notice and a hearing before being removed. Zaccari also went to questionable lengths to find information that could be used against Barnes, such as medical records. Although the jury found Zaccari personally liable, the university could choose to pay the fine for him.
It's highly unusual and perhaps unprecedented for a president to be found personally liable in such a situation, said Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which helped Barnes litigate his case. Lukianoff, who wrote about the case in his recent book Unlearning Liberty, said this was one of the worst violations of due process he's seen.

Lew: Budget Includes Real, Shared Sacrifices
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew discusses the impact of efforts to get the U.S. economy back into shape, including efforts to shape a budget and the unintended consequences of the sequester.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... is it about our political system that has led us to the point where we seem to have near-term spending that's ... near-term tax increases ... and the promise that maybe someday we'll get something ... wrong ... David over the last ... four years for next year's ... United States has acted decisively to deal with the financial crisis and economic crisis ... we introduced a ... dramatic measures ... of the financial side to get our ... banks back under control ... and on the on the broader economic side we had a combination of tax and spending policies ... to help get the economy go ... at a time when other countries were moving towards ... deaths or reduction immediately United States took a different view ... we took the view that into thousandnine in two thousand and ... we had to make sure our economy ... would ... get back in shape because the only way to ultimately have a sustainable fiscal costs is also a well functioning economy ... at some level you can't cut your way out of his promise to grow in order to be able to deal with long term ... challenge is set at ... which the flexibility to adjust when in December twenty and the economy needed some more help we did so with that needed to be an extension ... of the payroll tax a year later we get ... there was always going to be a moment when the things that were done to get kicked out of the movie were going to start being withdrawn ... and that he was always a concern that that you've done at a pace consistent with maintaining economic growth ... with the withdrawl of the spending and tax measures that were put in place to help a streak of recover from the worst recession ... since the Great Depression ... we're still growing in the two to nap percent ... the piece that is not and that is ... the effect of the sequester ... that's an additional half a percent coming out of our time ... that ...

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Hymnosis - "Unconscious Suicide"
Artist Bio:
With beginnings as a basement band out of Pincourt (in Ile Perrot), Hymnosis is a sleeping giant just waiting to explode on the local scene. Since 2001, we have evolved our hardcore and progressive influences by adding some Pantera groove to our songs. We are a metal band that doesn't follow any particular music wave and by doing so, a larger audience can enjoy what we do. Our line up has pratically always been the same: Laurie Alexander-drums, Pat Goyette-Vocals and bass in studio ( Pat is also a sound engineer at the studio Planet in Montreal) S.P.L-Guitar and Bob Lalonde-bass. We tank our old bassist Alex Fournier with whom we've had two studio sessions.
We've realesed, in april 2011, our first e.p named : « Unmasking Faces ». This e.p was recorded and mixed by our singer Pat Goyette. All the visuals (c.d, logo, web etc …) are made by our bassist : Bob Lalonde. « Unmasking Faces » was written and produced by Hymnosis. We can't wait for Hymnosis to finally get out there! So if you like what you hear, don't hesitate to contact us either to do a show with us or to go have a beer! See you soon!
About The Video:
Doing Unconscious Suicide video was a lot of fun and a great experience. It was a lot of work on the same day tho. We had some meetings to brainstorm before but on the day we filmed it we arrived at the venue around 10:00 am and we got out around 5:00 am, so it was a pretty intense day! We played the song about 40 times and our head,back and neck continued hurting for about a week after. Filming the scenario parts was really funny. Dom did an amazing job!!!

Universal Music Demands $42,000 From Danish Mayors For Gangnam Style Parody
from the ridiculous dept
The mayors have said that the use is clearly parody and covered as fair use, but Universal Music argues that because they're elected officials and there's an election coming up, they have to pay. I don't see how that makes a difference at all. Even more bizarre is that Universal's calculation seems to be that they should pay four times the "normal" license of $10,500 because there's four of them. But, as the mayors point out, they just used the song once, as it's all four of them appearing in a single video. And, making matters even more ridiculous, is that Universal gave them until today to pay up... or they claim that it will be "a real action for infringement... so the amount will be completely different."
Sometimes I wonder if Universal Music and the major record labels have just given up, and now are actively trying to make themselves look as ridiculous and out of touch as possible. In the meantime, the mayors have replaced the video with another one using... um... some sort of salsa music, which just comes across as somewhat creepy and weird.

I've managed to keep up with the weekly art prompts and to keep up my daily diary. I just haven't managed to blog about it. But here goes-better late than never!
This is February's spread. The theme was, unsurprisingly, LOVE, hence the lovebirds. Each month there is a larger art work on the back of the monthly dividers.
DLP has pocket art cards, and there is a prompt for each card. These are kept in polypockets. This one was for the love prompt.

I frequent few of the local Yahoo groups forums and I find this forum sooo much easier to navigate, and there are none of those sleazy webcam ads, I think the way the threads jump back to the top is brilliant, and frankly it's nice to be able to post anonymously, sometimes. Unlike yahoo, the site is super fast, and it's cool how world wide it is. I've learned a lot here, Thanks Toby,
oh yeah - love the color scheme

Fabio Quagliarella opened the scoring in Genoa but the home side came storming back through Eder and Lorenzo De Silvestri, and Mauro Icardi's tap-in ultimately proved decisive
Fabio Quagliarella deservedly opened the scoring for the Bianconeri midway through the first half but the hosts levelled courtesy of a penalty from Eder before sensationally taking the lead through Lorenzo De Silvestri just before the hour mark.
Mauco Icardi then added a third for the Blucerchiati and that goal ultimately proved decisive. Emanuele Giaccherini struck in injury time to set up a tense finale, but Samp held on to claim their first win since March - but their second over Juventus in the space of five months.
Antonio Conte made several changes in personnel for what was a meaningless contest for both sides, but the Bianconeri began brightly, with Sebastian Giovinco, Quagliarella and Giorgio Chiellini all testing Junio da Costa with decent strikes from distance inside the opening quarter.
Quagliarella then dragged a shot just wide before Emanuele Giaccherini called da Costa into action once again, as Juventus continued to pepper the Sampdoria goal with shots.
Juve's relentless pressure finally told 25 minutes in when Quagliarella sprung the Blucerchiati offside trap to latch onto a terrific ball over the top from Andrea Pirlo before calmly slotting home.
A rout looked a distinct possibility at that stage but the concession of a goal actually brought the best out of the hosts, who levelled matters from the penalty spot through Eder, after Chiellini had been harshly penalised for a push on Mauro Icardi in the area.
Remarkably, Sampdoria almost went in front just 60 seconds later, but Chiellini made amends for his earlier indiscretion to block a low strike from Eder that had been destined for the bottom left corner.
Chiellini then very nearly put Juve back into the lead just before the interval but he mistimed his jump ever so slightly, and headed over with the goal at his mercy.
The second half began in a very similar manner to the first, with the Bianconeri launching wave after wave of attacks on the Sampdoria goal.
Indeed, Quagliarella and Giaccherini had both been guilty of poor finishes before Giovinco put Simone Padoin straight through on goal with the most sublime lay-off only to see his team-mate's effort brilliantly saved by da Costa.
Again, the goal was coming, only this time it came at the other end, with De Silvestri beating Storari with a near-post header from a corner.
Juventus dominated the final half-hour and Quagliarella really should have restored parity on 70 minutes but he volleyed tamely at da Costa after being picked out unmarked eight yards out by a measured chip from Giovinco.
However, they were then hit with a classic sucker-punch just moments later, with former Bianconero Marcelo Estigarribia racing clear down the right flank before rolling the ball across the box for a grateful Icardi to tap in.
Juve kept fighting, and Giaccherini smashed in a late goal for the visitors, but they had left it too late to salvage something from their final game of an otherwise triumphant season.

Wirelessly posted (Das STROMM 9530)
I think it may be due to some kind of interference by having opera mini 5 installed, but opera mini 4 hasn't worked with socket connection at all since the time beta 5 was released. I haven't deleted beta 5 to test this idea, because I don't want to redo my bookmarks and speed dial. I currently have a lot of issue connecting to sites on the first few attempts with opera 4. I often need to try multiple times. I don't know if this is because it is set to http or if it is a different issue. I did not used to have any of these problems. Anyone have any info? Please at least tell me if opera mini 4 works in socket fpr you, and also if you have beta 5 installed.

Richard Perlman didn't always want to be a rabbi. His father, Ivan Perlman, was a cantor, and Perlman wanted to pave his own way. But Perlman couldn't deny the rich heritage in his blood, and eventually followed a spiritual path.
At the end of the month, Perlman's father will install him as rabbi at Temple Am David. Perlman has been the spiritual leader at the temple since December of 2000 but was not ordained as a rabbi until this January.
Essentially, the shift is what Perlman describes as a "title change." Perlman was hired as the spiritual leader and cantor at the temple, "but when I walked out the door I couldn't do everything a rabbi could," he said.
In the Jewish faith, the cantor, or the person that leads the congregation in prayer, does not have to be ordained. However, only a rabbi can teach the Torah and make decisions based on Jewish law.
So two years ago Perlman decided to get his ordination, and went to school online for the title. After a year, his training and experience culminated in his ordination.
"Everyone seems happy about it," he said.
In 2008, Perlman became the Religious Leader for Life at Temple Am David, and Ivan installed his son then. Ivan, now 86, served as the cantor at Temple Emmanuel in Providence for more than 20 years.
"He's a very well respected man," said Perlman of his father. "I'm very proud of him."
Now that he has earned the title of rabbi, Perlman will be installed yet again.
In addition to his father, Perlman's brothers, Eli, Emmanuel and Josh, will join him. Eli is a rabbi for a congregation in New Jersey, and Emmanuel and Josh are cantors for synagogues in Maryland.
Perlman said his father is going to give a sermon about what a rabbi is, and possibly accompany his sons as they sing. Together, the Perlman men make a troupe they call "The Cantors Perlman," and have been featured on PBS and at various synagogues. The Cantors Perlman will give a public performance at Temple Am David on April 1 at 4 p.m. to culminate the weekend of the celebration. Their performances are known to be off the cuff, spontaneous and often humorous.
"We kibitz with each other," said Perlman. "We all really like each other, although sometimes we pretend to argue."
Perlman said growing up in such a musical home was a unique experience.
"We had a father we all loved and respected," said Perlman. "One thing I can recall is Friday dinner. After meals there would be a period of singing, and without rehearsing we would fall into a four-part harmony. We just did it by rote."
Perlman recalls having other cantors over to join in the songs, but they would eventually stop singing to listen.
"They would sit there and cry," he recalled.
Despite his natural ability, Perlman said he wanted to be anything but a cantor.
"I wanted to be my own person," he said. "I didn't want to be what my father was, I wanted to be me."
One by one, his brothers became cantors, but Perlman just dabbled in the art on the side.
Then one day he got a call to sing at a High Holiday in Maine. Initially, he didn't want to do it, but his brother talked him into the gig.
"I was a little nervous," he said.
When he arrived, a member of the congregation told him to ignore a certain older man in the front row.
"'He's going to sit and yell at you the entire service that you're doing it wrong,'" said Perlman. "I was petrified."
But when Perlman started to sing, the congregation was silent, and remained that way.
"My father had taught me the correct melody for the High Holidays," said Perlman. So he stuck to what he knew.
At the end of the service, the older man approached Perlman with tears in his eyes. He told the young cantor that he hadn't heard a High Holiday service sung correctly since his own bar mitzvah.
"It meant so much to other people that [the cantor] do it right," said Perlman.
That experience in Maine changed his outlook on being a cantor, and he began to do it professionally. When the position opened up at Temple Am David, Perlman saw it as a perfect fit.
Perlman has lived in Rhode Island since his family moved here in 1964.
"The same year The Beatles came to the United States," he pointed out.
The celebration of Perlman's installation as rabbi will take place throughout the weekend of the 30th.
In addition to the performance of The Cantors Perlman, Sam Chester, who is 99 and a member of the congregation, will perform a song he composed for his late wife, Esther. Chester will play the song on his violin, and Perlman will vocally accompany him.
The weekend will include several services and a catered Kosher Deli luncheon.
"It will be a wonderful, huge weekend," said Perlman. "A great celebration."
Tickets to the public concert on April 1 at 4 p.m. at Temple Am David, 40 Gardiner Street, Warwick, are $18 for adults and free for children under the age of 12.

Indian Government Demands Right To Spy On Skype, Gmail, Blackberry Messages
from the spying-more-important-than-productivity dept
Of course, last time this happened (with RIM, at least), RIM pointed out that there's simply no way for it to decrypt email sent by users, since it's based on an encryption key set up by the end user. In response, the Indian government claimed that it had cracked the encryption used by Blackberries and was able to monitor messages sent via those devices. Of course, the fact that it's now pressuring RIM to format messages in easily spied-upon ways, certainly suggests the news of the cracking of Blackberry's encryption was somewhat exaggerated.

At the end of each trading week, Hillbent scans the equity market for potential anomalies which exhibit extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Past observations have revealed that such candidates may experience reversal corrections to the upside or downside once the market reconfirms that their fundamentals remain solidly intact or relatively poor. From a contrarian perspective, these lists may also serve as a precursor to changes in institutional sentiment and underlying fundamentals.
(The purpose of this report is not to provide specific recommendations, but instead serve as a time-saving reference tool and starting point for investment ideas as the upcoming trading week unfolds. Of course, the results generated are not always perfect and users are strongly encouraged to perform their own due diligence on these names. Note that overbought and oversold conditions are based upon proprietary algorithms and quantitative models instead of conventional technical analysis indicators. As a supplement to this report, please refer to our Market Condition Summary to determine if market direction trends support a bullish or bearish investment bias over short-term, intermediate, and long-term timeframes.)

She stood outside the building and hung the sign on an ornate hanger. To be true even though the sign was hand-tooled iron, the sign post she'd planted on the road was worth much, much more, but it surely didn't look it. That was the thing about her line of work - one's trash was another's treasure as was said.
Standing back, she turned and walked down the road a bit so that she could walk up on the new sign as it would be seen by someone else. She liked it. Always liked the name of her little business. "Office of" made things sound more official. Didn't think anyone had ever bothered to ask if she was government or guild sponsored somehow so she never bothered to change it.
The first place she bought outright was in Ryada and used as a storehouse for all her goods and things she and the team found on their expeditions. It had always been a dream of her's to finally pass the Eastern Mountains and beyond into Tismad. Problem was, she had a very difficult time recruiting people for such an arduous journey. When she found this place for sale, she knew Silverdell was just where she needed to be. And so much closer to the mountains. She couldn't wait to take her parent's tools into those hills and start excavating.
