files. PACCT audits. Network architecture. IP addresses. He had been
expected to become an expert in the basics literally overnight. A
worried Mendax began passing him notes--questions to ask,
explanations, definitions. Slowly, Galbally started working up a
rhythm to the cross-examination.
During the questioning someone from the back of the court sidled up to
Mendax, in the front row of seats, and handed a note over his
shoulder. Mendax unfolded the note, read it and then turned around to
smile at the messenger. It was Electron.
By the time Galbally had finished, he had pulled apart much of the
NorTel manager's evidence. As he built up a head of steam quizzing the
witness, he forced the NorTel manager to admit he didn't know all that
much about the alleged hacking incidents. In fact, he wasn't even
employed by the company when they occurred. He had largely thrown
together an affidavit based on second-hand information--and it was
this affidavit which supposedly proved the hackers had cost the
company $160000. Worse, it seemed to an observer at court that the
NorTel manager had little Unix security technical expertise and
probably would not have been able to conduct a detailed technical
analysis of the incident even if he had been with the company in 1991.
By the end of the defence's cross-examination, it appeared that
Galbally knew more about Unix than the NorTel manager.
When Geoff Chettle stood up to re-examine the witness, the situation
was hopeless. The manager soon stood down. In Mendax's view, the
credibility of the NorTel Manager's statement was shot.
The court was then adjourned until 12 May.
After court, Mendax heard Geoff Chettle talking about the NorTel
witness. `That guy is OFF the team,' he said emphatically.
It was a mixed victory for Mendax. His solicitor had knocked off one
NorTel witness, but there were more where he came from. At a full
trial, the prosecution would likely fly in some real NorTel
fire-power, from Canada, where the 676-page security incident report
had been prepared by Clark Ferguson and other members of the NorTel
security team. Those witnesses would understand how a Unix system
operated, and would have first-hand knowledge of the hackers'
intrusions. It could make things much more difficult.
When Mendax returned to court a week later, he was committed to stand
trial in the County Court of Victoria, as expected.
Later, Mendax asked Galbally about his options. Take the case to full
trial, or plead guilty like the other two IS hackers. He wanted to
know where the DPP stood on his case. Would they go in hard if he
pleaded guilty? Had the NorTel manager disaster at the committal
hearing forced them to back down a little?
Paul sighed and shook his head. The DPP were standing firm. They
wanted to see Mendax go to prison.
Andrea Pavleka, the DPP's sunny-faced girl who radiated happiness, was
baying for blood.

When we look at our accomplishments, we know someone will try to knock us off. Here is one good quote former Oklahoma Football legend and Congressman J.C. Watts said:
"When Democrats don't win on the issues, they will call you a liar, a racist, a bigot, or they will sue you."
This quote motivates us here at Mike Tate Watch. This reminds us of what the left will do to us when our message wins with the the Wisconsin people.
As we returned from an excellent evening dinner with former Senator Rick Santorum at the Frontier Airlines Center for Wisconsin Right to Life, we are reminded of this quote J.C. Watts says about what can happen down the road.
We are ready and we are fired up from Senator Sanatorum's inspirational message to take back Wisconsin. This means we will do as our Founding Fathers want us to do, speak with the truth and with conviction.
Chairman Mike Tate will say or do anything to hold onto power in the next six months. You can count us at Mike Tate Watch to continue to expose and hold accountable Chairman Tate and his cronies. Mike Tate can run, but he cannot hide from the truth.

30 Days Of Truth: Day Twenty Eight
What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
I am a firm believer that babies are blessings, period, and if I am going to choose to have sex whether unprotected or not, then I have to face the possible consequences. I'd keep my baby no matter what, and do my best to raise my child as best as I can. If I was pregnant right now it would be difficult but I'd make it work, because there is no other choice.

DIck Pinney's Guidelines: Sea duck hunting is a rugged, demanding sportDICK PINNEY September 28. 2013 1:48AM
OUR sea duck hunting buddy had notified me too late in last year's sea duck hunting season that he was giving it up because he honestly was not in the kind of shape that this rugged sport demanded. That was not easy for him to do and we really appreciated his telling us this but not the fact that it didn't give us time to corral another suspect for the job.So we went just about all of last fall not hunting much of anything after getting back from our couple of weeks at our northern Maine hunting camp. A couple times we wandered about the duck marshes, but not in that good shape myself, we finally decided that wasn't the best thing to be doing alone. It wasn't one of my best fall seasons.
This year, early on, we decided that we'd set up a duck and goose hunting blind on the property of an old school friend's farm that on some days had quite a lot of waterfowl working her cut corn fields. And we had an enthusiastic partner in my great-grandson, Kyle, who at age 14 was not just ready but quite able to take on the job of lugging decoys and chasing down cripples. He lives just a stone's throw from Jane and I but is very active in "ball'' sports so would only have limited time to hunt with me.
And my lost sea duck hunting partner had agreed that he'd go sit out in the field with me whenever it took his fancy.It was too easy to con him into helping me put a portable blind together, using about the same pattern as one we'd used quite successfully a couple of decades ago. It was a simple four sided portable blind with camo netting that we'd usually add some of the surrounding cover to. With our new blind the cover would be corn stalks, as we'd be setting up in a cut corn field.My time in building the blind amounted to a trip to the lumber yard and digging out some old camo netting. He put the blind together in record time and did an exceptional job in doing so.
In order to stake out some ground as ours, so to speak, we decided to put the blind up and set in somewhere near where we'd eventually hunt. We expected that with the blind there and plenty of other room for others to hunt in the same vicinity, we wouldn't be bothered with hunters that were apt to be too close to be safe as well as shooting at birds working our decoys.We were wrong. A couple of days into the early September special goose season we went to check to see if our blind had been blown down by the previous night's gale winds, we found that somebody had set up six Big Foot goose decoys within dangerous shooting distance from our blind.We'd had a similar experience years ago when set up for geese (with landowner's permission) in a cut corn field that had enough standing corn to hide in. Shortly before the legal shooting time we watched in amazement as a single hunter quickly set out three decoys just a hundred yards from where we had out about six dozen dekes.
Without discussing my mission to my hunting buddy, I hustled down the row of corn and accosted this guy, not in a threatening manner but telling him he didn't have much of a chance competing with out large spread and that he was close enough to either hurt us with stray shot or be hurt himself with our stray shot. We invited him to pull up his decoys and join us, which he quickly did.
We had a kick-butt goose hunt, with our new buddy shooting a limit of big honkers, his first goose ever. And we gained a long lasting and great relationship with him as a consequence.We recently wrote a note, put it in a plastic waterproof bag and staked in next to one of the decoys that our intruder had set out, inviting him (we hope not them) to hunt with us and suggested that he was too close to our blind. We left our phone number and address with the note.
We haven't heard from him yet and it looks like we may not. That will probably create a much different scenario. Isn't it a sad state of affairs that the old fashioned but wonderful hunting ethics of years gone by have been exchanged for a competitive and aggressive approach to a fun and traditional hunt?
Get out there and have a wonderful fall season. And be aware. Controversy doesn't belong in the wonderful world of waterfowl hunting.

Hotel Tricks Straight From The Travel ExpertsMany people each year go on vacations all over the world, but unfortunately their trip is not as good as it could have been because the hotel they stayed at was very bad. If you would like solid tips on how to choose a good hotel, then the following article is right for you. Continue on and get a good education about choosing a really good hotel.
Take advantage of online hotel searching tools. These sites allow you to find great deals quickly. Being gas station montezuma costa rica to comparison shop helps you find the best value, while getting the amenities that are important to you. You can also use them to explore the area around the hotel for recreation.
When planning a vacation, be sure to make all of your hotel reservations well in advance. In this way, you can lock in lower rates. If you have some flexibility regarding when you take your vacation, be sure to find out about off season rates. Very often, the rate you pay in non-peak times of year is significantly lower.
Try using price comparison sites online to find a hotel when you're on a budget. Websites like Priceline, Travelocity, Expedia, and the like can help you see all kinds of hotels in different locations. You can narrow down your searches to specific price ranges and compare them to each other.
Spend some time reading online reviews of hotels left by real customers before you make a reservation. These reviews are often your best source of information, since they are written by people who have actually stayed at the hotel. Be sure to pay attention to the most recent reviews, since the hotel may have already addressed older complaints.
If you plan on taking a family pet with you to a hotel reservation, do three things in advance. You want to ensure you've chosen a pet-friendly hotel. Make sure you have some plastic bags to get rid of pet messes. Finally, ask the hotel staff if you can have a room on the far end away from guests so that you don't interfere with their visit.
If you're a member of the AAA, you should see what your hotel membership discount will be. Did you know that this membership entitles you to hotel discounts? You can save 5%, 10% or more at quality hotels throughout the country. The savings can really add up if you're staying multiple nights.
If you want to save some serious money on your hotel reservations, get the price bundled with something else. This is typically done through an online travel site. When bundled with airfare, hotel room rates drop dramatically, sometimes by over half the list rates that are publicly advertised elsewhere on the Internet.
If you forget to bring toiletries with you, the housekeeping staff at the hotel may be able to help. Most hotels provide soap, shampoo and conditioner as a matter of course, but they may also have toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, razors and other necessary items on hand for those who request them. Many even supply hair dryers in the room, so you do not have to bring your own along.
Call the hotel you are planning to stay in and see if they offer any discounts. Many hotels offer discounts for senior citizens, business travelers, military personnel and government officials. Additionally, if you are a member of an automobile association, you may qualify for a reduced rate on your hotel stay.
To keep your car safe and secure while you are staying at a hotel, make sure that you either bring your valuables inside or conceal them in the trunk when you park the car. Even if you lock the doors, if valuable items are visible, thieves will often break in and take them, so be proactive and save your treasures.
Follow a hotel chain you are thinking about reserving with on social media. Deals and promotions are often promoted first or sometimes only on Facebook and Twitter. Introduce yourself to hotel employees through social media to see if you can get any tips from them on booking a great deal.
If possible, try to stay in a hotel during the off-season. Most hotels know how desperate people are to find a room during the travel season. They tend to jack up their prices because they know people are willing to pay for the room. If you go during the off-season, you will get big discounts!
Check to see if you can try here allows pets. If you're allergic to pets or fear them, then you may want to avoid hotels that allow pets. Hotels that allow pets typically have rooms that have a pet odor in them. Some hotels are pet-friendly and don't charge for it, while other hotels will add a hefty fee for keeping a pet. Depending on what the hotel is like, you might have to pay an extra cleaning fee.
To keep the smell of swimsuits and wet feet out of your hotel room, have your kids put their Aquashoes and swimsuits out on the patio. Hanging them over the rail and letting the towels and suits dry will keep that chlorine scent out of your room, and the shoes and sandals will make your room stink, so keep them out!
Check out the prices at the hotel website. Sometimes the hotel website will have deals that trump the hotel discount websites out there. Before you pick a deal be sure to do this due diligence. You can even call the hotel to ask if they have any unpublished rates.
Look around for hotels that are having grand openings. These grand openings often have big savings on hotel rooms. In fact, the savings can be very significant - 20% and often more. It's a great way to get a top notch hotel stay and then pass on the word to others about the stay!
Some rooms come with a view, while others do not. If there is not a price difference between rooms, opt for the one with the best view. Just having a better view can enhance your enjoyment of your hotel stay. You have nothing to lose by requesting a room with the best view possible.
Whether your stay is for business or pleasure, you want to have a pleasant stay. You also want the satisfaction of knowing that you got a good deal. So keep the hints listed above in your bag of tricks as you book your next stay. You will find that it pays off in saving and in satisfaction.

I feel old
Unfortunately, after being at Barli for 3 weeks, my back is now hurting consistently. I have to sit in an office for seven hours a day, for six days a week. I also believe that the headaches I am getting are partially for staring at a computer screen all day every day. Sorry for complaining, but I came here to make a difference in women's lives, not to be locked in a "volunteer office" every day......I hope I end up succeeding in impacting at least one person's life before I leave.

According to Moore's Law, computing speed doubles every two (yes 2) years. So, why do we still spend so much time waiting? Waiting on hold for tech support. Waiting for the IT guy to show up. Waiting to get work done. All this time and money just…waiting.
Isn't it time we said "enough?" Isn't it time that owners of small and mid-size businesses said "NO" to the Status Quo and actually change the way we do (i.e. manage) IT?
CMIT Solutions of Denver and the other 125 CMIT Solutions offices in our nationwide IT services and consulting company are on your side. We are an IT company that believes in empowering business owners and decision makers to do what they were born to do: their jobs. We fight for your right to be productive.
Stand Up For Your Company's Right to be Productive and Profitable!
Stand Up For Productivity by utilizing technology in a way that helps to grow and further your business in 2013 and years into the future! Let CMIT Solutions of Denver (and our colleagues if necessary for your branch/remote locations) help you achieve your business goals by leveraging technology and the CMIT system.
We are encouraging our Denver metro business community to band together with us and participate in our Productivity Revolution. We have heard about and had firsthand experience with businesses that don't take their technology seriously enough in relationship to the fact that technology is a tool to move a business forward. It is amazing (actually a bit scary) that way too many businesses -for and not-for-profit- do not take the proactive stance and philosophy in the management and maintenance of their business technology.

Artists' Studios
Since I'm still basking in the glow of being moved into my new studio, I've been feeling especially appreciative of the intimacy and sacredness of the studio space. I found this image online today of Agnes Martin, standing before her painting in her studio. It inspired me to post images of painters in their studios.
Above photo is of Margaret Kilgallen.
Susan Rothenberg, standing with her dog in her studio. I'd like to document my time in my studio because it's obviously something one doesn't think to do, but I feel like it's just as amazing see an artist at work in their space as it is to see their final paintings. The process that takes place in the studio is so exhilerating.

Aside from braces or dentures, there are many cosmetic dental procedures that can be carried out to correct chipped, damaged or unaligned teeth. Crowns help strengthen teeth and their outward appearance by acting like a shield and, at the same time, support for weak teeth. Dental implants serve as artificial teeth and can even replace its roots. Of these procedures, dental implants are the most sought after and known by Americans.
Over the past five years, the Cosmetic Dentists industry have benefited from innovative technologies that have enabled cosmetic dentists to provide cosmetic treatments that resemble a patient's tooth color. Moreover, the burgeoning elderly population has stimulated demand for cosmetic dentistry due to age-related tooth ailments. Due to long-term use of medications, which may cause tooth decay, many elderly individuals have demanded dental fillings, veneers and implants.Despite its familiarity to Americans, some cosmetic dental practitioners are still divided over what procedure would work best for their patients. However, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry says that dental implants retain their great share of the market— around 3 million Americans have them, and that figure is still expected to grow to around 500,000 in a year. This means that dental implants from Philadelphia dentists like Dr. Gerald Regni, DMD will likely be seeing a lot of use throughout the cosmetic dental industry.
While rising demand for implants and orthodontics has provided a boon to the industry, many cosmetic dentists still relied on other services, such as crowns, bridgework, bonding, veneers and whitening, to derive revenue over the past five years.
The Cosmetic Dentists industry is characterized by a low level of market share concentration, which can be partly attributed to the highly fragmented nature of the industry. During the next five years, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized rate.
Getting dental implants overall is beneficial for maintaining proper oral health care compared to removable dentures or fixed bridges. The titanium post in the artificial tooth melds with the bone and prevents it from dissolving. Dentures, on the other hand, may slip from time to time and irritate the gums and cause aching.
Dental implants can also last for 25 years, longer than the dentures and bridges' 7 to 15 year lifespan. Its longevity and efficiency would explain its continued use in cosmetic dental practice and the demands of patients. It's clear, then, that having a skilled cosmetic dentist install a Philadelphia dental implant will be to your benefit.

2 South Georgia universities plan to study merger
Georgia Southern University and Armstrong State University plan to begin studying what benefits and obstacles merging the two higher education institutions might bring.
The Savannah Business Journal reported Thursday that a formal announcement will be made Friday morning at 10:00 a.m.
The path they're considering? Making Armstrong State's campus the GSU-Savannah campus in hopes of doubling student enrollment. Armstrong State is currently without a university president and the results of this study could mean the position remains vacant indefinitely.
Currently, the land adjacent to ASU is owned by the University System of Georgia, leading many to believe a merger to expand the campus has been under consideration for quite some time. Chatham County would stand to benefit considerably from the infrastructure brought by expanding the campus and local students currently commuting to Statesboro would no longer need to do so.
Fellow GeorgiaPol contributor Lawton Sack says that a merger would move Georgia Southern from the 6th largest public university in Georgia to the No. 3 spot.

Kolkata, India – In a surprise move, India's selection panel have left national icon Sachin Tendulkar out of their squad for the third test at Kolkata after replacing him with the Hawk-Eye ball-tracking system.
The controversial selection, seemingly at odds with the BCCI's previous hard-line stance on the use of technology in cricket, comes after Tendulkar's place in the team had been under increasing pressure following a run of ten test innings where he had failed to reach thirty.
But with questions immediately being raised in the media over the ability of a network of cameras linked to a central computer to bat at number four in test cricket, India's chairman of selectors, Sandeep Patil, was quick to respond.
"We accept that Hawk-Eye can't accurately predict the flight of a cricket ball if it's more than 2.5 metres away from the stumps but that's still a considerable improvement on Sachin who's been clean bowled in four of his last six test innings. Plus Hawk-Eye can't be out LBW as it doesn't have legs."
Hawk-Eye head engineer, Paul Coleman, was also upbeat over the system's capabilities.
"Weighing in at over a quarter of a tonne, the equipment needed to operate the Hawk-Eye system is perhaps a little cumbersome to risk stealing a quick single but we're confident that it will still prove to be one of the more mobile fielders in the Indian team."
The third test at Kolkata begins next Wednesday. Hawk-Eye is expected to make its test debut, injuries permitting.

I had been gone from the Chicago Acting and Film Production scene for many years by time I returned from California, and when I went to find an agent or anybody who was doing casting I suddenly realized I no longer knew anybody. I took a few of the usual snap shots, I think these were still 3 x 5's from a roll of film or disposable camera and started looking for what was going on in Chicago as far as film production. The year was 2003 now and I'd missed a lot. My main casting agency had left town all the way back at the Turn Of The Century and for the longest time I really had no idea what I was going to do. Somehow I ended up finding a list of current agents who were presently working in Chicago and managed to find out who was presently casting for the NBC-TV Series, ER By that time the show had been on quite a long time and since I'd already worked it once or twice in Chicago as well as at the studios in Hollywood, I was probably thinking it might be nice to make yet another appearance on that show. This was never to happen since it was now yet another agency I'd never worked for much less ever heard of and that was basically just about the end of it right there. I never knew why, but I never ever received no phone calls from that agency whose name I won't say here.
I went on for quite a long time taking more pictures every so often and wondering if I would ever work in Chicago Film Production ever again.
Then it was ironic when I ended up working on a Major Motion Picture in Milwaukee at the new Miller Park, the baseball stadium built in Milwaukee in the 1990's to replace the old County Stadium and is home to the Milwaukee Brewers, because my next big movie job back home ended up not even being in Chicago! It was the movie Mr. 3000 starring Bernie Mac, where he plays Stan Ross, a baseball player who retired with 3000 hits and then had three of them stricken from his old record and rejoined the team for the purpose of making three more hits to make his old record good. I know we sure worked a lot of days there at that baseball park and filmed a lot of baseball, too! At one point I was in the front row between home plate and first base and Bernie Mac came over and was talking to the guys right next to me and I actually got to shake his hand. That was when I knew I was really getting back into the swing of film production back home again, although with a note of sympathy for Bernie Mac passing.
Later when us same three guys were in those same seats, I noticed the camera was Zooming-In on us at the end of the, "Weiner Race." I told the guys it looked like it was going to a Close-Up of us right there at the end of the Weiner Race and that at the end of the race we should go into a huge scene of cheering and high-fiving and all that and try to look real excited for the camera since it appears we are right there in the shot!
Well that is exactly what we did and you can still see us today at the end of the big Weiner Race there just a high-fiving and all excited and all that! The version in the movie theater anyways, I didn't see us on the DVD version. That was one of those game changers as far as wondering if I'd ever be working in film production back home and it was a great feeling to know it now looked like I'd be in.
There would now be many others in my future as well as a lot of advancements to come in the business of tracking earthquakes. In fact one of my all time favorites happened at about this same time one day when I was watching some TV and an earthquake expert comes on the TV telling about the latest earthquake early warning system. So he goes on and on about how he was busily improving his system in order to better be able to give warning when it detects earthquakes in nearby areas, especially ones big enough that could do major damage or cause personal injury when they shake. Then at some point in all of his explaining, I realized he was a person from a nearby college and headed up there to the University of Wisconsin at Madison at once!
That would be the day I met Professor Richard Allen, today of UC Berkeley, but at that time still in Wisconsin at UW Madison. We talked about a lot of things of course to do with earthquakes and I can recall showing him on a big map on the wall of his office there in what I today know to be Weeks Hall, named for a Petroleum Geologist who discovered a lot of oil in his days and went on to work for oil companies. Citation: Australian Dictionary of Biography, Lewis George Weeks, 1913-1977 @ http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/weeks-lewis-george-11994
When I was all through there that day, of course I would return there on several other occasions and have stopped to visit him at least once at UC Berkeley as of this writing, when I finished that day could be when I discovered the huge globe in the lobby there in the same Geology Building at the entrance to the Geology Museum.
That would be the globe where I discovered how a lot of the different tectonic plates move by looking it over and because it is in graphic relief, I could clearly recognize all the mountains and fault lines around the world. This was also where I followed earthquake energy from a hurricane that had just made landfall somewhere around Florida and tracked it, using that globe, to a specific point I cannot say for sure if it was the same trip up there or a later one when I made this discovery. In any event when the earthquake struck I found that my estimate was now only fifty miles off!
In the years that had preceded this incident I had strived to perfect my system with the hope that someday I might be able to come a lot closer than a thousand miles on a regular basis and I was now astonished to see that somehow I had just came within fifty miles!
I thought, and thought, and thought about what I did different that I tracked this one all the way down into some little country in Central America and was within fifty miles of where this new major earthquake just struck. If I had even known to look a lot closer I could have even had a direct hit due to the fact that it appeared I may have just randomly picked the name of the nearest big city such as Guatemala City and not looked just a little bit farther west to where the most active fault line was nearby. . . and probably where the earthquake turned out to be. This was the point where I knew I was truly beginning to be Bringing Earthquakes To Life!
Richard Allen was the person who referred me to the California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council and insisted I submit to them immediately. While my answer to him right at that moment was that I didn't want to send the current one due to it not being a big enough alert that it required an Official Prediction submitted to CEPEC, he continued to insist I submit it to them just the same. I told him I certainly would as soon as one that I considered a major one came along and eventually that satisfied him.
We also discussed the National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council and he told me everything all about that organization, too. While it was not exactly in existence at the time, it was reorganized since that conversation and I have submitted to them on a regular basis ever since. Pretty much all my work with CEPEC, and NEPEC, you could say I owe to my having met Richard Allen today of UC Berkeley Seismology.
I also want to credit him with, but am not sure he had so much to do with the fact that at the time I met him I had only tracked earthquake energy from hurricanes that made landfall along our East Coast or Gulf of Mexico. I never paid any attention to big windstorms on the other side of the world and was not able to begin to figure out how that would even work, anyways. It was some time after one of our meetings that I felt like maybe it was time to start watching typhoons in the Pacific to see what affect their landfalls might have and where the resultant earthquakes might strike.
One of the first such typhoons struck a little island out in the middle of the Pacific by the name of Niue. It looked like if things worked the same out there in the middle of the Pacific as they had so far everywhere else, then there might be an earthquake way up there in Alaska somewhere. It wouldn't be too long before a Major Earthquake struck Alaska and I was not only on my way to Bringing Earthquakes To Life. . . I was now on the brink of Bringing Earthquakes To Life all the way around the World!
It started to be more and more obvious to me that my new system, possibly due at least in part to the addition of the globe, would work the same everywhere else in the world that I would try to use it! After several other ones such as that at different places around the world I knew it for sure!
Tracking Earthquake Energy All Around The World quickly became my brand new slogan that I would start using everywhere. Earthquakes would no longer be a hobby that I mostly partook in during the Atlantic Hurricane Season. With the new addition of typhoons in the Pacific and an occasional tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean, there was now earthquake work for me to do on a year around basis.
Cyclone Debbie would became one of the first such tropical cyclones that required me to begin checking into as soon as it made landfall on December 20, 2003. With winds reported of up to 200 miles per hour, I knew this huge windstorm would mean a lot of brand new major earthquake energy, it was just a matter of where it would strike. I checked the other side of the globe, found Australia, found the straight line, and simply tracked it right to Sao Paolo, Brazil and I thought I was done.
Days later the huge earthquake that I knew was coming struck Bam, Iran and it measured 8000 miles off from where I came out on my globe. This literally became my new line of study on a day to day basis. Instead of my continuing studies of earthquakes and reading whatever book towards a broader knowledge, I would instead pick up various maps of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate in an ongoing attempt to figure out how and why that major earthquake energy traveled so far north of Australia and why it was released all of the way up in Iran.
I can recall a lot of hours spent looking along the lines where it borders with Africa, Antarctica, Indonesia, the Pacific, and etc. Finally one day I was just standing back and looking at the whole bigger picture of the broad outline of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate when I discovered it was crescent shaped. That was it! That had to be the answer, since I found that Iran was situated at the top of the plate and it was obvious to me that was the direction it had just moved with the actual epicenter of the Bam, Iran earthquake very near the actual plate boundary.
The discovery of that movement of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate turned out to be probably one of my biggest discoveries on my way to Bringing Earthquakes To Life, too!
Today I can honestly tell you that I was correct and have put that discovery to use many times since that date and use it quite regularly today.
One of the first times I put it to use was in September of 2004 after Hurricane Ivan made landfall at Gulf Shores, Alabama near the Panhandle of Florida at 2am on September 16, 2004. Now, with what I had just recently learned back at the end of 2003, I was able to track the new earthquake energy to the TOP of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate and guess that it would now probably move in the exact opposite direction thereby affecting California. It was just twelve days later when the Parkfield Earthquake struck at Parkfield, California on September 28, 2004 and that was when I knew I was really Bringing Earthquakes To Life!
There was a calendar that I had drawn by hand of the month of September 2004 that had Hurricane Ivan circled and the word "EQ" circled and I had noticed one day that where it said "EQ" was the date of the Parkfield Earthquake. So I enlarged this drawing on a color copy machine and actually included it as a page in my first earthquake book which I'm sure I discuss in full somewhere else in this volume that I am actually trying not to write chronologically.
I discovered in the time that has passed since this calendar was all drawn up that October 1, 2004 was also an eruption of Mt. St. Helens, although as of this writing I do not have a lot of experience with volcanoes other than that they show up in my research from time to time. I can't honestly say for sure if I mentioned Mt. St. Helens or not in any alerts prior to that date, but I can tell you the name did come up a lot of times back then, and that big volcano has been fairly silent lately, too, if you know what I mean.
The calendar page I was discussing was at one time a method I used to keep track of hurricanes, typhoons, tropical cyclones, and tropical storms and of course the earthquakes that I knew would always follow. I went on eventually to create an entire card for the purpose of filling out when a hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone makes landfall with blanks for wind speed, direction, and what cities might get earthquakes following the landfall. I still use these from time to time but have lately spun that process off into smaller sheets where I simply write the name of the windstorm across the top and pencil in the details as they come in. I'm thinking now as I write this that I might just create a smaller version of my "Hurricane Card" the size of these smaller sheets made from one-quarter of an 8 ½ x 11 sheet. The process of writing all of this stuff all down and keeping track of it all was also mentioned in Chapter 7, and so you might also be interested in using one of the above systems that I just went into some additional detail on there.
I'm sure the whole story about my first book and Literary Agency and all that appears elsewhere in this volume so I won't go into a lot of those details here. I had also edited that first book down into a "Compact Edition" that I did send to my agent and she replied she would need a whole new contract for it and so I decided if she didn't mind I would shop that version to publishers myself.
As a result there could be any number of those manuscripts still out there at different publishers out around California whom I won't mention here because I might still someday want to publish that "Compact Edition" of my first book How To Predict Earthquakes.
While it may not have exactly been the next renaissance in Chicago Film Production this was all happening at about the time a movie called Stranger Than Fiction was in production in Chicago. I had a good part in that movie that of course changed when I got there, but the biggest part of that movie was working with Dustin Hoffman and Will Farrel. When it was time to go to the set they were both standing right there elbow to elbow with me as the director told all of us at the same time what we would be doing that day. Maybe two, maybe three takes and the day was over, but still one of my better days considering.
At about this same time one of the other agencies in Chicago must have been doing all the casting for a new show that was called Prison Break because I met up with all of these guys on a later project called Eagle Eye which actually turned out to be my first Dreamworks Production that I had ever worked on. Thereafter I came to work with the people from Atmosphere Casting Chicago many times including a big scene ice skating at Chicago's Millennium Park in a scene with Patrick Swayze in The Beast. I had enjoyed working with him and was very sorry to hear he passed on one day. You might check out Patrick Swayze as Orry Main in North and South! Great Mini-Series from 1975! Upon a check of the Internet Movie Database, I also found Patrick Swayze was in Dirty Dancing, and Red Dawn and of course more great acting, too! We'll sure miss him!
You can actually see me in Eagle Eye where they get off the bus at some point in the movie. I didn't even know on the day I worked that the girl with the baseball cap on actually turned out to be one of the stars of that movie until I saw it in the theatre!
This probably happened well before that movie job, but one day there was an auction where they had several old IBM Thinkpad Laptops and I was lucky enough to win the bidding on three of them. I picked out the best one and had Windows 95 loaded into it somewhere, and I started writing my first Earthquake Book on it. This would have been late in the year 2003 because I was busy writing that book on that new laptop with Windows 95 when severe winter conditions just so happened to come along that December. By Mid-December of 2003 the conditions became so bad that I was forced to write-up and send out what is today my first EQ Alert via E-Mail that is a good one concerning severe winter conditions. Of course there are a few other great saved ones from those days but I think I discuss all that at other parts of this book.
There was also a movie I worked on somewhere around this time that was titled "Just Visiting." A medieval guy travels the streets of Chicago on a horse and one of the scenes I was in was a police chase of some kind and I believe all the cop cars were chasing Jean Reno riding on his horse on a street that crosses at the south end of LaSalle Street in Downtown Chicago because one of my positions that day was standing right in front of one of those big bank buildings or whatever they are there on LaSalle Street. Just looking up this movie I found the release date was 2001 and the Extras Casting person was still my original casting director from the 1990's. So it is possible that I worked on this movie before ever leaving for Los Angeles in say 1999. It appears this movie was a remake of a French movie from 1993 titled Les Visiteurs, also starring Jean Reno.
Looking back now I can honestly say that I didn't really have all that much experience tracking major earthquake energy when Super Typhoon Nanmadol made landfall at the Philippines on December 2, 2004 and it was so huge and did so much damage that it was really big news. Back in those days I had a different system than the one I use today. In those days I would go by the amount of news coverage they gave to a big windstorm and wait to see if it was so big, that there was a lot of news coverage. Whenever there was, I would then be convinced that there would then be a Major Earthquake to follow. Today I just glance at the wind speeds and decide. So the landfall of Super Typhoon Nanmadol caused the most amount of damage of any typhoon in history and I immediately began following along to see when and where this next new Major Earthquake would be striking.
I followed a lot of foreshocks that were the movement of different tectonic plates until two days before Christmas on December 23, 2004 there was an 8.1 Richters Earthquake at Macquarie Island and I knew all of this new earthquake energy was headed right for those major populated areas when on December 24, 2004 at around 8:30am, I wrote an E-Mail titled "Big EQ Alert" saying as big as 9 or 10 Richters and the Great Sumatra Earthquake struck like two days later.
One day after the landfall of Cyclone Nargis also one of the biggest of all time, I was driving along in my car when it occurred to me that the region in the Bay of Bengals where it made landfall was actually still the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate while the actual plate boundary was located all the way up in the mountains of China. I also realized there was a huge reservoir up that way that they had begun filling and would likely mean a giant earthquake as well. Well, it was not much of a surprise when on May 12, 2008 the Great Sichuan, China Earthquake struck and I could even see the "Three Gorges Dam" on the map just a few hundred miles from the epicenter.
Somewhere around that same time since I am actually not trying to write this book chronologically, was the landfall at Louisiana of Hurricane Katrina. Now up to this point in the book I do not know if that really tells you anything or not. Just another hurricane making landfall? Or are you saying that such a big hurricane like Katrina should equal something? Well, it did equal something and that something is today the Great Islamabad Earthquake. I just so happened to get a phone call from the Carpenters Union somewhere in between these two big events and explained the whole situation to the guy on the other end of the line. His reply was that he understood completely and actually has a brother who is an Astrophysicist at Harvard who works on the Chandra Telescope. A few days later after the big earthquake struck at Islamabad, I took the next call from him and went right out on the next carpenter job and never heard no more about that. One thing I do know is they had always said all phone conversations were being recorded so that you could possibly hear me discuss Islamabad with my Carpenters Union boss several days before it happened! I believe my words were "It should be of biblical proportions; and will probably take place over in one of those biblical countries." Not really sure, though if Islamabad is one of those biblical countries or not.
One of the bigger carpenter jobs I went on at about this same time, not sure if it was one of the calls I was talking about there though, was at a big factory where they make those huge draglines used in strip mining or open pit mining. I was lucky enough to have seen a lot of strip mining when we traveled the west when I was nine or ten in the late 1960's and early 1970's, so I rather enjoyed walking past those huge buckets as big as a car or house everyday on my way into that plant to wherever we were working on any particular day. Yes, today I can now show you on Google Earth where all those giant strip mines were once located due to reclamation never coming to fruition out in Wyoming and Montana. I also actually met one girl at a store located a ways to the east of Helena, Montana who is still upset to this day because they timbered out all her trees. I was able to sympathize with her having seen it before they cut all the big trees and then strip mined a lot of it.
It was once beautiful lush forest with a babbling creek rushing past and opening up into a landscape surrounded by tall mountains with magnificent forests. Today it's all flat and baron and so much for reclamation along the Musselshell River, there. . . but it is still Montana just the same. I also seen a lot of the big giant sequoias and redwood trees that are today mostly all gone, too, as well as even most recently a lot of big forests along the Pacific Coast line which I can today see on Google Earth are also now all baron plains just since I cruised there in the early 2000's. That is unless they are enjoying some reclamation out that way. Perhaps I will discuss that in my next book that I'm planning to follow Bringing Earthquakes To Life to be primarily all about my experiences in California and lots of other things related to California and maybe, just maybe I'll title that book Bringing California Earthquakes To Life

"You cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true." ~ Justice Sonia Sotomayor
All dreams are difficult. If they were easy, we'd be able to check an unlimited number of them off our to-do list every day. They take time and heart. Sometimes they cause a great deal of difficulty. If working toward them makes us feel alive, if we the time we spend on them feels like time well spent, and if we learn something in the process no matter what the outcome, then they are worth every ounce of effort we put into them. Dreams are tricky like that. Their real value is not in their achievement but in how they help us evolve toward our best selves.

Gregory Bateson
Biography of Gregory Bateson
Gregory Bateson (9 May 1904 – 4 July 1980) was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields. In the 1940s he helped extend systems theory/cybernetics to the social/behavioral sciences, and spent the last decade of his life developing a "meta-science" of epistemology to bring together the various early forms of systems theory developing in various fields of science. Some of his most noted writings are to be found in his books, Steps to an Ecology of Mind (1972) and Mind and Nature (1979). Angels Fear (published posthumously in 1987) was co-authored by his daughter Mary Catherine Bateson.

Our Need For Pain PRO
Contributed by Sermoncentral on May 4, 2011 (message contributor)
There is no tougher dilemma in the Christian life than the problem of pain. It could be the pain of broken relationship, the pain of rejection, or the pain of insults. Or it could just be plain old physical pain. Nothing tests the faith like pain.
It was physical pain that became a life's work for a man named Dr. Paul Brand. Perhaps nobody studied pain like Dr. Brand.
I became acquainted with his work through the writing of one of my favorite authors, Phil Yancey. He and Dr. Brand wrote several books together including, In His Image, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, and The Gift of Pain.
Dr. Brand died in 2003 at the age of 89. I want to read a little bit from an article in Christianity Today about him:
"Born to missionary parents in the mountains of southwestern India in 1914, Brand attended London University, where he met his wife, Margaret Berry. The two surgeons returned to Vellore, India, to teach at the Christian Medical College and Hospital. While working as the school's first Professor of orthopaedics and hand research, Brand pioneered surgical work with those suffering from Hansen's disease, a bacterial infection more commonly known as leprosy. He was the first surgeon to use reconstructive surgery to correct deformities caused by the disease in the hands and feet, and developed many other forms of prevention and healing from the disease.
"Before Brand, it was widely believed that those suffering from Hansen's disease lost their fingers and feet because of rotting flesh. Instead, Brand discovered, such deformities were due to the loss of ability to feel pain. With treatment and care, he showed, victims of the disease could go indefinitely without such deformities.
It was on this issue that Brand's work with Hansen's disease met with his theological reflections on what he viewed as 'the most problematic aspect of creation: the existence of pain.' Pain, Brand...Continue reading this sermon illustration (Free with PRO)

Working the drive-thru isn't really any fast food worker's idea of fun, but for Natasha Jones, it's a blast. That's because she has the pleasure of greeting adorable, furry faces like these every day!
Back in November, Jones started working at the Einstein Bros. Bagels on Wickham Road in Melbourne, Florida. That's when she started meeting all the cute pups accompanying their owners through the drive-thru, just waiting to be gifted with delicious doggie bagels the establishment offers for their four-legged clientele. Seeing their happy faces brought her so much joy at her job that she decided to start taking photos of the little guys and share them on Instagram.
"I just thought they were too cute not to share," she told Bored Panda. And she rewards them handsomely for their precious mugs, adding that "every pup I see gets a free doggie bagel on me."

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka's PRPM is the first and ultimate tool for an English/Bahasa Melayu translator like me. However, in the earliest days, searching for lexical meaning of a word or term was rather daunting. One has to go to advanced search page, or one level down to do complex searches.
In a course attended last year, a senior translator showed the class how to use it smartly, and probably the quickest (and dirtiest!) way to do complex search.
Here it is:
- Go to DBP's PRPM site.
- Key in your term, an English term, say 'translate' in the search box.
- Click CARI (or search) button. (This is a simple search procedure I have used in my earlier translation days!)
- If you are looking for terminological references, click 'Istilah Malaysia' or 'Istilah MABBIM'.
- Again, find the search box on top of the page, and key in complex search.
- Just key in 'translate', click spacing bar, then key in a Malay subject area term, e.g., 'komputer' or 'matematik'.
- Clik CARI (or search) button.
- The search result will narrow down the search to find the 'terminological' definition in Computer or Mathematics.
- Again, click 'Istilah Malaysia' or 'Istilah MABBIM' for a possible list.
At the page's breadcrumb, the link for 'Khidmat Nasihat' is also the most important link. That page shows descriptions or answers from DBP regarding the correct or incorrect uses of a particular term or terminology.
You can run similar technique if you are using your Kamus Pro app on Android or iOS device.
This eases a translator's work somehow. Enjoy!

The thing about shopping online for clothing/fashion is that it can be hard to find the exact same item in a store that you saw in real life, which means more often than not you will spend hours trying to track that item down (unless you happen to know the name of it). However that's where image search comes in handy, and something that ASOS is introducing to its store.
ASOS has recently announced that they will be introducing a new visual search tool to its mobile app, meaning that users who are searching an item in particular can do so by uploading a photo of said item, and the search will try to find something in the store that is an exact match or something that comes close enough.
So why mobile first and not desktop? According to the company, they claim that 80% of its traffic in the UK comes from mobile devices, which means that clearly a lot of people seem to be doing their browsing and shopping while on their phones, so focusing the tool on mobile makes sense.
ASOS is definitely not the first company to offer visual search. Earlier this year Pinterest rolled out its Lens feature to its users to let them search for items on its website based on the photo they uploaded.

DROID Running Android 2.1 Update 1
QUOTE ~ YOU-TUBER; – motodroidlife — March 01, 2010 — http://www.droid-life.com – We flashed our phone with the Android 2.1 update 1 last night which is essentially the OTA update everyone is expecting for their Motorola DROID. This is not a custom or ported version of 2.1.
Part of keeping up to date – (Nice catchy phrase, from Australia Post Ad)
That phrase summaries what, how, and why, .. I post stuff here on my blog. There are a lot more rationalizations going through my head, but that is enough for now.
SEGWAYs – (into a number of other disjointed stuff that I want included somewhere, in this ONE post, / old-draft, DELETE -OR- POST? – here it is!)
Hoping the "App-Crash" problem (Related to Memory-Leaks? NO) – is GONE for good, and now (the day after UN-Installing Acrobat-Reader Ver8) that has been done, maybe I can ad stuff to this draft, (Forgotten what I was going to say, as this was started weeks ago) -STARTING NOW() – Monday 17 May 2010 – (Another NEW-START?) -[UPDATED – NOW() Tuesday 24 May – ReInstalled Acrobat-Reader Ver9.2, -AND- given permission for some "Adobe-update" to complete, …. … what else can I say, … The Browser is working as of right now, … Ill click update, so I dont have to save this text-string into notepad]
AND; How do I work blippy.com into this post? – (I DONT) – I am going back to find another old draft started previously, … "Theme-Idea" = Advertising, and am I influenced?
http://blippy.com/ – Reference RN – Backgound Briefing; STORY = "The privacy paradox"
QUOTE; – Stephen Colbert: Thankfully folks, just like us celebrities now ordinary people can publicise their lives in minute detail, thanks to social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Unfortunately, sometimes I have to interrupt my Tweeting, Sexting, and Inbetwexting to buy or eat things, but now there's a way to do it all. And it's all thanks to Blippy.com, a revolutionary new site which lets you register your credit card online, then every purchase you make is automatically posted on Blippy. Wow! This is more exciting than going through old receipts. It's going through new receipts!
DELETED; – Draft-Permalink – "http://grd.net.au/blog/?p=2730"
QUESTION; – What happens with the php-number?p=2730, AFTER deleting the draft attached to that number?
(I dont intend to anwser that question, … I just like asking?
Thats the sort of thing that goes through my mind) – Draft?p=2730 was deleted – { Some oblek reference to iRobot-scene, "YOU, are having an accident" }
I know what I mean, … just nobody else can follow, … (me)
In relation to the Android 2.1 – There is an interesting article from Jason Hiner of TechRepublic detailing some recent (Last couple of years) -/- MAJOR changes in smart-phone abilities – LINK – >>> The rise of the computer phone <<<
Is Android destined to be the Windows of mobile computing?
With the spread of Android accelerating, the assumption that Android will become the dominant mobile platform is also gaining stream. But, how likely is it?

"Being part of a culture without living in it is like being in a long-distance relationship. You can make it work with grand displays of affection and splendid visits, but you don't get to have coffee together on a Sunday morning—the little things, the stuff daily life is built on."
I read this quote—in an NYT cooking recipe—and it deeply resonated with me. I'm often asked, "what is the absolute best part of living in India?" by family and friends back home. This quote tidily addresses my answer: the ability to no longer have to engage with my identity and heritage from afar. To be here, in person, and experience how it feels, tastes, sounds, and smells to be an Indian in India.
There are other wonderful things as well and I wanted to note them down-especially because I'm fast approaching my 7 month mark in India! I honestly can't believe it–the time has sped by. Here are some of my other favorite things about living on the subcontinent:
- Courtyards: I love how outdoor space is used in India. At my grandparents' home, we are outdoors almost as much as we are indoors! The dishes are scrubbed, the clothes washed and hung up–even our teeth are brushed outdoors. I love that every part of the home is used and especially that it's so easy to interact with our neighbors from right in our yard.
- Sidewalks: Similar to my comment on courtyards, I love how sidewalks are completely utilized. (Sometimes this can be a hassle during festival times when there's no space to walk between all the vendors and the crowd) Just being outside feels like a community event–and the best part is, you can walk down the lane to find delicious (and cheap!) street food at really any time of day.
- Fix-it culture: My purse strap was fraying so I took it to a cobbler and had it repaired for 30 rupees ($0.50). In a culture where labor is cheap, items get used and repaired and the lifetime of your possessions is substantially extended. This fix-it culture is not only wallet-friendly but sustainable! Shoes get resoled, clothes are refitted, patched up, and tailored, and even electronics are repaired rather than replaced.
- Chai: I have never been much of a tea (or coffee) drinker but the milky spiced chai found on the streets is to die for. (A recent Guardian article also proclaimed Kolkata the chai capital of India-I can attest to the fantastic chai quality)
- Kinship terminology: There is this famous quote by Sarada Devi, "Learn to make the world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; the whole world is your own." When your auto driver is dada (elder brother) and the shopkeeper is didi (older sister), the world does feel a bit more welcoming and familiar.
- Santiniketan: Every day, I'm struck by what a special place I live in. I am able to cycle everywhere, be part of a university community, attend a plethora of talks and conferences, spend plenty of time outdoors, eat ice creams by some of my favorite monumental art pieces by Ramkinkar Baij (!), and learn from one of the kindest and most intelligent professors that I have ever met. Nowhere is perfect (and you should probably talk to me once summer begins in full force), but I feel very blessed to be based in Santiniketan.
Disclaimer: This is not at all to say that India doesn't come with its fair share of challenges-the mosquitoes, heat, traffic and pollution are just a few of the issues one has to deal with on a daily basis! But most days-especially now that I'm realizing how quickly the time passes-I'm just thankful for the opportunity to have a Fulbright and to be here. It really is a privilege.

Bad news- Magick won't be released on December 17th unless my editor can work miracles. After a month of strep-throat, bronchitis, Thanksgiving, and an upper-respiratory infection that wouldn't go away (the whole frickin house was sick…), I managed to squeek through the last 10K words on Magick, but it is going to take heavy revisions. I followed that old addage of "it doesn't matter what you write, just write". Eh, that's a double-edged sword. I don't really like where the story went, but as we all know, characters and flow have a way of taking on a life of their own. I will have to see what my editor says.
What my house looked like after a month of illness
Good news- Magick is finished- at least until the red pen comes back. I'm hoping it will only be delayed a month (fingers crossed!). In the meantime, I'm starting to read it today so I can try to anticipate what my editor comes back with and be pro-active! As much as anyone can be pro-active through a Nyquil hangover. Anyway, I digress. I have a month of light work ahead of me, so that's plenty of time to get Magick polished and off for publishing. Then it's on to Solstice, Harley and Damien's story, and that's going to be a doosie! Stayed tuned for updates! And maybe some little tidbits 🙂

The Gambia's press is set to win unprecedented freedom when its new government overhauls the constitution of former leader Yahya Jammeh.
As the West African nation enters a new era of democracy, President Adama Barrow and Attorney General Aboubacarr Tambadou reiterated their commitment to ending human rights abuses in the country and removing restrictive media laws.
"We will be starting a constitutional review process with a view to ensuring that our constitution is relevant and serves the purpose for which Gambians adopted it," said Tambadou, a former UN assistant prosecutor.
Reform "particularly in the criminal justice sector and media law reform," were priorities, he said.
Journalists were regularly slapped with crimes including sedition, slander and publication of false news under Jammeh, offences described as "catch-all" by Amnesty International, and many served jail time.
"Bad media laws have no place in our statute books and it is the resolve of this government to enact laws that will facilitate the exercise of the right to freedom of expression in a responsible manner," said Mr. Tambadou.
Tambadou, who met with the local press union president, Emil Touray, assured that any media law that is inconsistent with the letter of the spirit of the constitution shall not be enforced.
Gambian journalists have been campaigning for Criminal Defamation and sedition laws to be axed. The press union has petition the Supreme Court to rule that the laws are unconstitutional.
Gambia's new government says reforming the criminal justice system that has been used in 'bad faith severally' by the former regime is its foremost priority.
"The criminal justice has been abused to a point that it is no longer credible and that is a top priority for my ministry," Tambadou said.
