Your Friday Tattler Executive News Summary
62 comments:
As a registered independent, I'll have to decide which ballot I vote in the June primary.ReplyDelete
If I was asking for the Dem ballot, I would absolutely go with your candidate, Crawford.
Barbara Boxer is a disgrace. Her head belongs on a stick, along with most politicians.
I will probably ask for a Rep ballot, since some of their races are more important this time around.

Why is government so slow to catch up? I think it might be because those who govern are suffering from inertia. They have the jobs and are just keeping on keeping on.ReplyDelete
Karen Warner at the first housing element in the Sierra Madre General Plan study session insisted that California's population was booming, with the state crumbling around us.
The 710 Hole is obviously a terrible idea, but the wheels of government are having a hard time finding the brakes...

Do you miss Kurt and Don yet, Sierra Madre?
- old localMay 28, 2010 at 8:53 AM
Sierra Madre is a complicated place, but if it has a virtue, it is common sense, especially in the senior community. And common sense tells us it is a stupid idea to vote ourselves more property taxes for a school system that has trouble being financially responsible. It is also common sense that the new water rate hike proposal is poppycock, and if the water department needs more money, the city manager should fire some of the swollen staff at city hall.ReplyDelete

Can you give us Tats the location of the other districts in the CC election? District 1, 2 etc. It would be very interesting to see how the renters and those in the projects voted. Pretty sure the Yes folks got to certain areas with some sort of incentitives.ReplyDelete

Old Local?ReplyDelete
The seniors didn't show much good common sense when they voted in Joe Mosca, Josh Moran and Nancy Walsh.
They fell, hook ,line and sinker for the fallacious "rumor" that MaryAnn and Don,Crawford and Pat Alcorn were going to do away with the volunteer fire Dept.
Nothing will prove to be further from the truth.
Truth is, Mosca, Moran, Buchanan and Walsh will sink us so badly, we will have to get rid of the voluneer fire dept, and our police dept.
Just you wait.

FYI: Keep an eye out for a possible trash collection rate hike as well. Which would also hit the UUT take nicely.ReplyDelete

My guess is that they're going to lose the water rate hike and then snuggy up to the damn 12% UUTReplyDelete
Good thing we have the sunset clause, thanks to Kurt Zimmerman.
Just tried to open the city's faq on the water rate hike, and got a blank pdf.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 28, 2010 at 10:50 AM
The only way they can destroy this city is if we pay for it. Which is why we need to make sure the water rate hike is shot down, as well as the street bond issue. The UUT increase must never be renewed. Keep them poor and penniless and all they'll be able to do is talk amongst themselves at "green committee" meetings.ReplyDelete

10:08, did you try to open the faq on the right side of the page, or just the water rate increase information in the center? It's the faq that's empty, even though it lists a pdf of 58 kb.ReplyDelete

Maybe they're trying to come up with a reason for raising the water rates that residents will find reasonable and fair. I think the term for that exercise would be "reality creation."ReplyDelete
Maybe that service is included in the agreement made with Bruce's consultants?

The timing here is just so strange. Why was this water cost increase only revealed after the new city council was seated? To read the city site you'd think it was an emergency situation of some sort. Yet we never heard anything about it before now.ReplyDelete
- ScepticalMay 28, 2010 at 11:17 AM
It's always an emergency! The UUT emergency was that we had no money, then after it passed we did have the money. This emergency? We may have an emergency...ReplyDelete

I'm all for letting the Community Services staff go, closing the pool for a year, cutting the PD in half, and severely limiting all City spending and I'm not quite sure why we're spending a million on rehabing a "room" for seniors to eat lunch in and complain about the City not providing enough services.ReplyDelete
Let's restrict the City to critical life safety support issues for a year and give the City Manager a staff of volunteers to run City Hall. I'm sure the Council would forgo their $3K a year stipends as a donation.
Give the residents a line item veto on the budget!
- AnonymousMay 28, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Hey! You need the Community Services staff to administer all those grants that are buying the new fleet of vehicles to haul around the seniors and the kids during the summer so their folks don't have them hanging around the house. Don't forget the seniors have an entire staff person who arranges their outings and spends a third of her time on the subsidized lunches they get fed.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 28, 2010 at 11:43 AM
Too many people DO NOT know about the rate increase. The City glossed over the letter part in the letter. I agree with Mrs. Sutcliff --they are sneaky and underhanded. The information about the increase and NO letters must be spread by word of mouth. Neighbor to neighbor and friend to friend.ReplyDelete
Ignore the Water Rate Increase table. Multiple your water bill times 20% and then multiple that amount by 110% to add the UUT for your new bill for the first year.

I suspect keeping the pool open for the arthritic is a little like running the Gateway Coach to the Gold Line. We could buy the seniors a membership to Fortanace for physical therapy and pay for a taxi to take them to the office for a fraction of what it takes to maintain a heated pool for the dozen or so who swim there. The Gateway Coach? About $36 a head per trip if you factor in the cost of the coach. Oh but it's paid for with a grant! Sill me. Grant money is free.ReplyDelete

I made this prediction 5 years ago. The Cong Church was supporting the downtown development goals of the realtors etc because the elders of the church (including Brandley) knew that eventually their would be tons of vacant space at a bargin rate sitting on the market for expansion of the church into a mega church and school.ReplyDelete
When the church was a "information center" for DSP info and I saw the posters on the church retail spaces, I knew that the Church was expanding into government control and what? maybe 20% of the church actually lives here in Sierra Madre.
I wouldn't doubt for a second that the church wants to expand downtown within distance from the Buc, just so they can shut it down.
and you know the lying real estate salesmen won't tell the buyers at One Carter that they are buying in the middle of a extremely hazardous fire and flood zone, lying for the sake of a sales commmission
hopefully when the mansions are buried or burned down, they owners of the properties sue the ever loving daylights out of the salesperson and the real estate agency
but they'll sue the city and we'll all be paying for it

we have a council of non-business people, basically mediocre lawyers/lobbyists, a failed real estate salesperson and a Mom...all stating that they will attract businesses to Sierra Madre and none of them have a clue about what it takes to run a retail business or restaurantReplyDelete
jeez people, wake up and let's stop electing glad handers and grifters who move into the city, tout themselves as "attorney's", join every civic organization for face time and then want to inject themselves into city development
we keep electing losers in the business world we'll end up with a city that is a shell of it's former self
and please, get rid of the whiny dude running the 4th of July parade and stop allowing businesess from out of town and political candidates from appearing in the parade, it's gotten cheesy like Nascar
or at least, a business (out of town) or anybody using the parade for business purposes have to pay a fee of $1,000.
that will get rid of the realtors and political candidates hiding behind the 4th of July celebration and all they are doing are marketing themselves.
if a realtor or candidate wants to be in the parade, don't put a sign on the car just be in the parade and be patriotic, not commercial

The only thing worse than building in a canyon on a major fault, in a brush fire zone, where debris basins MIGHT protect from all the stuff coming off Mt Wilson (STONECARTER), would be doing the above and placing in on an alluvial plain, "a widning of the canyon where all that stukff coming off Mt Wilson gets deposited", which is deceptivly flat (STONEHOUSE).ReplyDelete
Two outcomes. La Canada residents "up there" erected concret barriers and fencing to deflect the debris basin overflow onto houses below.
That made some very unhappy. The other outcome comes later when the fires destroy, the shaking makes the hillside become jello, the insurance companies do not pay for mud flow damage or flooding (even if you have flood insurance). That leaves Sierra Madre who granted the building permits implying "its safe to build there" to sue. Where are Joe and John and their choir when you need them. They and the LLC left town leaving Sierra Madre holding the bag. Funny the administration pushing all of this left town too.
The millions to be allocated for the 710 Tunnel EIR were specifically condemned by several speakers at the MTA meeting, as was the enormous environmental risk that no EIR can mitigate:ReplyDelete
The Bus Riders Union picked up on both condemnations, and at one point started chanting, "One less tunnel, a thousand more buses!"

As personal injury attorneys in California, we're quite familiar with the great many cases of distracted driving accidents happening across the state. But while distraction has helped to push the number of overall traffic collisions up, intoxicated driving also remains one of the top factors behind auto accidents.
According to a recent news report, a man is facing 30 years to life after being involved in a DUI accident. While we're terribly saddened to learn this tragic accident occurred, we must remind our readers that the legal consequences for this type of accident are serious and should not be ignored.
The accident happened in January. According to the reports, the man behind the wheel of a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta was speeding at the time. As a result, the vehicle ended up crashing into a large oak tree alongside southbound Buckman Springs Road. After the crash, the vehicle overturned. The injuries sustained by two of the occupants, a 23-year-old and a 26-year-old were fatal.
Officials later said that the driver had veered off the road due to intoxication.
Officers who responded to the scene of the accident said the accident was so brutal that they will never forget what they saw.
Due to this tragic and deadly accident, the driver accused of having been intoxicated and speeding prior to the collision may face 30 years to life in prison.
It breaks our hearts that this type of accident still occurs quite frequently in our lovely state.
Unfortunately, many drivers remain unaware that they are not immune to the risks associated with dangerous behaviors such as distraction and drinking and driving. And while both activities are illegal under California law, many drivers will still act as if they are above the laws.
If you're serious about your safety, you will put your focus on driving and on the road ahead and will never be intoxicated while behind the wheel. On top of it being illegal, it's also potentially deadly as it will impact your decision making process and your motor skills.

It's not so much coincidence as it may seem. Without the father being so famous, the kids wouldn't be able to find him, I agree on that. However, he became famous, which kept him alive and without this fact, the kids would not have been born.ReplyDelete
There are less coincidences then you might think. Without those, there would not be a story. Or at least not an interesting one.
Sorry, I put my question in the wrong box earlier. Jason, are you able to identify the music that accompanies the score to Incendies? Thanks.ReplyDelete

It's Summertime!
One of my favorite things about summertime is eating outside, grilling the food, ice cream sandwiches...and of course root beer floats! How fun would it be to whip up one of these fun root beer recipes for your Memorial Day dinner tonight? I'll just post one recipe, but you can find the rest here.
Root Beer Cookies
•1 cup unsalted butter
•2 cups dark brown sugar
•2 eggs
•2 tsp. root beer extract
•3 1/2 cups flour
•1 tsp. baking soda
•1 tsp. salt
•1/4 cup water (optional-only use if dough is too dry)
•Root Beer frosting (recipe below)
Cream butter and dark brown sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the root beer extract. Whisk dry ingredients together. Add a little at a time to the creamed mixture. The dough should be slightly sticky. Chill for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease several baking sheets, or line them with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Roll into small balls (about 1″ diameter).
Place them on the pan, leaving a bit of space between the cookies. Gently press the tops of the dough. (If you leave out the water, sometimes the cookies don't spread very much.) Bake for 6-8 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through.
Let cookies cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Root Beer Frosting
•1 cup butter
•3 cups powdered sugar
•2 tsp. root beer extract
•a few tablespoons hot water
Beat butter on high with an electric mixer until it is fluffy. Add a little powdered sugar and the root beer extract. Beat until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar alternately with a little hot water until a nice spreading consistency has been reached.
Frost the cooled cookies and let stand for a few minutes to let the frosting set up. (It should dry a bit on the top.) You can leave out the root beer extract and you'll have a tasty, soft brown sugar cookie.

Air Conditioning Maintenance and Repair
Inside your air conditioning unit are three important parts, the condenser, the compressor, and the evaporator. Along with many other smaller parts, these work to keep your air conditioning running.

However, sometimes persistently low freon or increasingly high electrical bills are evidence of a leak in your unit.

I went out on Saturday. I was sociable, and everything.
My afternoon/evening out was a "double date" (for want of a better term) with Ben, my new friend Angharad (of Edible Glitter fame) and her other half, Paul. We took ourselves off to Balham, a trendy part of SW London.
I can state, first and foremost, that we had an absolutely fantastic time. I may or may not have had one too many cocktails, and was spouting absolutely crap in terms of food reviewing by the end of the evening, but I'm fairly sure we all enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Meeting up just before 4 o'clock, Angharad lead the way up the road to Smarty Paints, a Do-It-Yourself type pottery painting studio. She has been there once before (quite recently!) and enjoyed so much that I think she used us as an excuse to go back there again 😉
Smarty Paints, Wandsworth
Ben and I are ourselves no strangers to the pottery painting game, incidentally. We have been a few times before to a studio in Berwick-upon-Tweed called Pot-A-Doodle-Do, but this was our first venture in London (and without the premise of supervising young relatives!)
The set up of the studio was much what I was expecting – several tables, with paints laid out and paintbrushes abounds. The idea was: you select your "raw" unglazed pot/figure of choice, paint it up with the paints provided, and in a week's time you could collect your finished, glazed piece! I picked out a big fat pussy cat "piggy bank", whilst Ben took a big mug, Angharad a little oil jug and Paul managed to get his mits on the biggest bowl he could find.
We took a good two hours painting our pieces (although I'm sure we would have stayed longer if we could – the lady had to keep reminding us that they had to close the shop soon!) So – how did our pieces turn out? Well, you (and I) will have to wait and see – they will be ready by Thursday, and even then I may well hold fire on sharing photos until Angharad is back from her holiday.
Comments on the shop itself: the table we were sat at was a little limited in space. I sat in the corner (as is my wont) but was firmly wedged in there as the table was very close into the corner. Also, unlike our experience in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Smarty Paints charge a "studio fee" of £6 per person, on top of the price of your piece. This I suppose I can forgive them, as everything is more expensive in London, and they have to make money SOMEhow. Finally, and I find this with all art&craft activities and studios, there was simply not a wide enough range of brushes. Either they were too big, or were small and had been hammered to death by someone's small child. I keep reminding myself I have to bring my own brushes to these sorts of things (because I am a mad perfectionist) but always, always forget.
But on the whole, a hugely enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, but didn't pester – they knew we were loopy, and just let us get on with our "thing".
Next, we pottered down back towards Balham station, and chose The Exhibit bar to kill time (and brain cells) drinking cocktails until dinner.
The Exhibit, Balham
As luck would have it, we arrived right in the middle of their happy hour(s) (5-8pm), and so choice cocktails were 2for1. We started off with our favourites though (i.e. full price) – I had my old favourite, a Mojito (made "Extra Old" by using Mount Gay XO), Ben went for a twist on his usual by trying a Long Island Spiced Tea (which got its name simply by using Sailor Jerry), Angharad tried out an Elderflower Margarita and Paul had his old faithful, beer (a Tiger).
Twenty minutes before our dinner reservation, we deliberated over whether or not we had time for another round. It was agreed that we did, but for some reason we thought it would be a good idea to make the best of "Happy Hour" and get two Exhibit Smashes (gin, elderflower, apple & mint) EACH. Personally, I stuck both straws in my mouth at once and hoped I wouldn't embarrass anyone at the restaurant.
To Lamberts, where Mayfair-quality food, without the pretence, awaits!
Lamberts, Balham
I have been to Lamberts once before. I remember it being a fantastic meal. I have been dying to go back there ever since. Taking Angharad (and her restaurant-reviewing blogger self) seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Lamberts is a cosy little place – right next to Balham station, it is ideally located, as it is easily accessible in high-heels (if you are having a super posh dinner date, which we weren't), and you can get as drunk as a skunk and still get home in one piece, with no trouble (which we did).
Slightly unsteady for having two cocktails at once, we were shown to our table. We took an age just deciding on drinks, because we were so overwhelmed by the delicious sounding menu options. Finally, Paul took the bull by the horns and ordered us each a champagne cocktail, and a bottle of their Saint Chinian 2005 (to share!!) The waiter staff were very attentive and spotted every time we finished a bottle of water throughout the evening, promptly replacing it.
Eventually, we managed to decide on what we wanted to order, and vowed to share a taste of each dish.
For starters, I predicted correctly that Ben would home in on the Cornish squid, served with black pudding, confit tomato and dill oatcakes. I chose roasted Jerusalem artichoke soup, topped with rabbit ravioli and thyme oil. Angharad chose the potted ham hock and peas, with grilled spelt bread (which would have been my alternative choice), and Paul went for the partridge Wellington, plum purée and spiced jus. The latter, we were warned, would take an extra ten minutes to prepare, but it was all beautifully timed and all starters arrived within moments of each other.
For our mains, I could do nothing but chose the duck: if duck is on the menu, it is MY duck. Here, it was glazed Telmara farmed duck breast, presse of leg, smoked garlic mash, baby gem, peas and bacon. Ben went for the rare breed beef (which was Galloway) from the chargrill, chips, portobello mushroom and peppercorn sauce, and he had a side of baby gem, peas and bacon as an extra. Angharad went for the game of the day, which was saddle of deer, and came served with a potato rosti, and finally Paul chose the herb crusted saddle of Blackface lamb, garlic & thyme potato terrine with caramelised pearl onions.
We all tried all of the courses (except Angharad wouldn't touch Ben's starter with a bargepole, for fear of tentacles) and agreed it was the best meal we have had in a long time. I know that once Angharad gets back from her travels she intends to review the food on her blog, and so I will post a link to that once it's up.
Finally, what is a fine-dining experience without the gluttony of pudding that none of us really need or have space for? Exactly.
Angharad has the elderflower & creme fraiche tart, strawberry sherbert and Secrett's farm strawberries, and I said "yes!" to the Amedei Toscana chocolate mousse, malt ice cream and shortbread. Ben was content with a piece of shortbread to accompany his whisky (a Benromach Peat Smoke from Speyside) and Paul and I split a decanter of port (although by this point I was thoroughly plastered and ready for sleep – it was a Quinta do Tedo, LBV, 2002). Oh Lamberts, I WILL be back.
We paid our bill. Ben ate three of the four complimentary truffles that came with it. We piled into a taxi and headed home, vowing to explore our local area more in future.

Goodbye spring
Spring is coming to an end and here in Oklahoma summer arrived early. It is hot here in Tulsa which results in this sister not being able to be outside for long while the sun is out. However, this evening I was sitting out on the patio reading and looked up to see what beauty hot days provide at night. There were some storms firing up east of Tulsa which allowed for us to watch the many colors that seem to only be seen exiting the summer night skies.

Need Groove Back
I slipped away from the writing for a bit, scared off the new novel for some reason. I think I was intimidated by the new characters (which can be fun, challenging, and terrifying all at once!). I need to get the groove back, even if it's 30 minutes a day. This week, I'm aiming to edit Fading Light, something I know I can do. I've got a strange schedule with work, and Mom's in town, so I anticipate some level of exhaustion, but writing is ON the agenda. SOMETHING every day.

The Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans have amended their trade agreement after cornerback Jeremy Lane failed his physical, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Lane will revert back to the Seahawks, who had agreed Monday to send him to Houston along with a 2018 fifth-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick for left tackle Duane Brown.
In the new deal, Seattle will give up a higher draft pick to account for Lane's not being included in the deal. According to the source, Seattle will get Brown and Houston's 2018 fifth-round pick in exchange for the Seahawks' 2018 third-rounder and their 2019 second-round pick.
Texans veteran left tackle Duane Brown has been traded to Seattle for CB Jeremy Lane.
The Seahawks acquired offensive tackle Brown from the Houston Texans in a trade Monday, Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed. The Texans landed cornerback Jeremy Lane, a 2018 fifth-round pick and a
NFL's Ian Rapoport was one of the first to report the deal.
Here we go; The #Seahawks have traded for OT Duane Brown, source said. From Seattle to Houston, back to Seattle.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 30, 2017
Brown ended his holdout last week after missing the team's first six games. He played Sunday in the Texans' heartbreaking 41-38 loss to the Seahawks.
Brown, who had two years remaining on his contract, had sought a new deal but didn't get it. He issued the following statement on Instagram regarding the trade:
"Thank you to the Houston Texans organization for the opportunity to live out my dream the last 9 years. Thank you to the city of Houston and Texans Nation for the love and support you've shown me and my family. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Much Love!!!"
Thank you to the Houston Texans organization for the opportunity to live out my dream the last 9 years. Thank you to the city of Houston and Texans Nation for the love and support you've shown me and my family. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Much Love!!!
A post shared by Duane Brown (@duanebrown76) on
The three-time Pro Bowler has been the team's starter since he was drafted in the first round in 2008.
His salary for this season was $9.4 million, a big chunk of which he lost in his holdout. His 2018 salary is $9.75 million.
Brown, an outspoken leader in the locker room, was also one of many players that was upset by Texans owner Bob McNair's comments in which he appeared to refer to NFL players as "inmates" that are running the prison. McNair later apologized and claimed he was referring to the league office, but that explanation was not well-received in NFL circles.

Brown told Pro Football Talk in a Saturday morning interview that there were other things McNair said and did that caused concern. When Brown was a rookie in 2008, Barack Obama was elected president. "He came to talk to the team," Brown said of McNair. "He was visibly upset about it. He said, 'I know a lot of y'all are happy right now, but it's not the outcome that some of us were looking for.' That was very shocking to me."
Brown also noted that after he protested during the national anthem last season, unlike players from some other teams, he did not receive any organizational support. "I protested [during the national anthem] last year, and there was no backing of my character as a man as a leader or a player," Brown said. "There was nothing said by [McNair] or the organization to back me at all. They just kind of sent me to the wolves."
Along with Lane, the Texans reportedly get a 2018 fifth-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick.
The NFL's trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he helps stabilize a Seahawks front that has struggled to protect Russell Wilson or open holes for the 21st-ranked run game. Rees Odhiambo has been starting at left tackle after George Fant suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the preseason.

This is neither "Chicken Little" nor "The boy who cried Wolf!"
EDITORIAL: LulzSec Targets Elderly in the Wake of Latest Sony Hacks
June 6, 2011 by admin
The Daily Tech published an editorial yesterday. Here's how it begins:
There's no real winners with the latest Sony hack
Sometimes there's just a story that's just plain sad all around. This is arguably the case with the latest hack of Sony Corp (6758), in which the company lost another 1 million user records and hackers published private information on elderly users.
You can read the whole editorial on their site.
Interesting. Is the definition of war changing? I would not have expected China to reveal enough to even make us suspect them of the Lockheed attack. The original RSA attack maybe. How should I interpret this? Does China think itself a Cyber-Superpower that can get away with anything they try, just because they believe there will be no retaliation?
China linked to new breaches tied to RSA
… When RSA warned customers that their SecurID deployments could be affected by the intrusion, the industry was waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. Thus, word of the defense contractor attacks came as no surprise. And the timing is such that it seems unlikely to be coincidental, the experts said.
Two-and-a-half months is plenty of time for whoever stole the data to sell it to interested parties in underground channels and for buyers to prepare attacks that take advantage of the pilfered information--basically figuring out which key on the key chain goes to which door. But it's also a small enough window of time to let those attackers catch some RSA customers before they can change the locks.
… Meanwhile, the Pentagon is now saying it plans to issue new strategy declaring that in certain circumstances it will view cyberattacks from foreign nations as an act of war meriting military response.
"The reality is, part of the basis of U.S. hegemony...has been the ability to leverage command of signals intelligence to have perspective on the motivations and activities of others. Cyberspace has equalized that, so all of a sudden we're in a competitive intelligence environment," said Rafal Rohozinski, a principal at SecDev who did research on targeted attacks on Tibet and others with supposed links to China. Those attacks were detailed in a "GhostNet" report in 2009.
Espionage is common among the major nations, but reports of cyberespionage from China have increased over the past decade, campaigns that are ostensibly focused on silencing dissidents and other detractors, or reducing China's technology gap with the U.S. and other major countries.
"China has made no secret that they see cyberspace as the domain that allows them to compete with the U.S.," Rohozinski said.
It's easy to connect the dots between the various attacks, particularly considering what the motivation may be behind them. However, there is often no way to know for sure where a cyber attack originated because attackers can easily hide their tracks.
"I think [the attacks on the contactors] are completely related" to the RSA intrusion, said Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer at Veracode. "While I think they're related, I don't necessarily think it is the same group" that's responsible.
… "The RSA attackers knew that what they were stealing could be sold to lots of governments," he said.
"If it's any kind of military espionage, military adversaries are going to be high on the list," Wysopal said. "The question then is who in China--is it government agents or independent contractors selling to the Chinese government?" [See? There is a market for you Ethical Hacking skills Bob]
It is easier to ignore a law than to understand and implement it.
Most EU countries ignore law on website cookies
June 6, 2011 by Dissent
Jennifer Baker reports:
Critics were worried that the European Union's privacy directive on browser cookies could make virtually every website in Europe illegal. But most EU member countries ignored the May 25 deadline to implement the directive, so e-commerce didn't skip a beat.
Only Denmark, Estonia and the U.K. have taken steps to implement the privacy directive, said Jonathan Todd, a spokesman for the European Commission, and even those efforts may not be fully compliant with the policy.

Study - Privacy leakage vs. Protection measures: the growing disconnect
Privacy leakage vs. Protection measures: the growing disconnect, Balachander Krishnamurthy - AT&T Labs Research; Konstantin Naryshkin - Worcester Polytechnic Institute; Craig E. Wills - Worcester Polytechnic Institute, May 2011.
"Numerous research papers have listed different vectors of personally identifable information leaking via traditional and mobile Online Social Networks (OSNs) and highlighted the ongoing aggregation of data about users visiting popularWeb sites. We argue that the landscape is worsening and existing proposals (including the recent U.S. Federal Trade Commission's report) do not address several key issues. We examined over 100 popular non-OSN Web sites across a number of categories where tens of millions of users representing diverse demographics have accounts, to see if these sites leak private information to prominent aggregators. Our results raise considerable concerns: we see leakage in sites for every category we examined; fully 56% of the sites directly leak pieces of private information with this result growing to 75% if we also include leakage of a site userid. Sensitive search strings sent to healthcare Web sites and travel itineraries on flight reservation sites are leaked in 9 of the top 10 sites studied for each category. The community needs a clear understanding of the shortcomings of existing privacy protection measures and the new proposals. The growing disconnect between the protection measures and increasing leakage and linkage suggests that we need to move beyond the losing battle with aggregators and examine what roles first-party sites can play in protecting privacy of their users."
Why does this not surprise me?

AVG CEO JR Smith is making appearances across the country today urging parents to consider introducing their child to Little Bird to help them learn about online safety.... Roughly half of today's children (ages 6-9) are regularly talking to their friends online and using social networks, yet 58 percent of their parents admit they are not well-informed about their children's online social networks. The "Digital Playground," the third stage of AVG's year-long "Digital Diaries" research program, further reveals the increasingly digitally-literate group of 6- to 9-year-olds and their parents in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand to find that:
More than half (51 percent) of 6- to 9-year-olds use some kind of children's social network such as Club Penguin or WebKinz.
Roughly one in five use email, and despite being underage, 14 percent are on Facebook, according to their parents.
47 percent of 6- to 9-year-olds talk to their friends on the Internet.
Almost one in six 6- to 9-year-olds and one in five 8- to 9-year-olds have experienced what their parents consider objectionable or aggressive behavior online.
American children average four hours online each week, slightly more than the worldwide average of 3.5 hours per week.
58 percent of parents admit they are neither well-informed nor understand their children's online social networks.
Only 56 percent of parents were certain their family computer has parental controls or safety programs in place."

Cheap GPUs Rendering Strong Passwords Useless
StrongGlad writes with a story at ZDNet describing how it's getting easier to use GPU processing against passwords once considered quite strong.
"Take a cheap GPU (like the Radeon HD 5770) and the free GPU-powered password busting tool called 'ighashgpu' and you have yourself a lean, mean password busting machine. How lean and mean? Working against NTLM login passwords, a password of 'fjR8n' can be broken on the CPU in 24 seconds, at a rate of 9.8 million password guesses per second. On the GPU, it takes less than a second at a rate of 3.3 billion passwords per second. Increase the password to 6 characters (pYDbL6), and the CPU takes 1 hour 30 minutes versus only four seconds on the GPU. Go further to 7 characters (fh0GH5h), and the CPU would grind along for 4 days, versus a frankly worrying 17 minutes 30 seconds for the GPU."

Summer Camp has a new meaning...
We are in week 2 of camp, and the experience is most certainly different! I am no longer a "program director" over anyone but John Paul, and David admits that his "power house paddling" days are done, but that he is now a servant-type and is focusing more on teaching these kids true paddling techniques... plus he's teaching at the girls' camp instead of the guys (this camp has girls and guys split except for 1 co-ed a week and mass if you're Catholic). We are loosing sleep at night, not because we're up late pulling pranks the other camp or running through the dark or doing other ridiculous camp things after hours, but because our son is teething and is still getting use to a new place. It's a totally different experience! God must have some idea up his sleeve, because are certainly learning a lot already- we're having a great time.

I know exactly how you feel. My role in ministry with Cory has had to change so much. I used to be involved with EVERYTHING, but now, Landry takes precedence. I have brought her to camp and whoa...it's different. This week, I actually did not get to go to camp because there would not be accommodations for a toddler. A new season for us and we are doing exactly what God calls us to do...be a helper to our husbands and train our children.

Johannesburg Botanical Gardens and Emmarentia Dam
The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens are a popular escape from the busy city, and the adjacent reservoir created by the Emmarentia Dam provides an additional space for outdoor recreation.
The Emmarentia Dam opened in 1912, and its reservoir is used for boating and fishing. On its western shore, the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens cover more than 308 acres and include an herb garden, a succulent garden, and the rose garden from which the rest of the property grew. The rose garden was started in 1964. The eastern side of the Emmarantia Dam is also good for picnics, barbecues, and outdoor recreation, primarily consisting of woods and grassy meadows.

Never too early for a little pop art! To celebrate their daughter Jagger's birthday on Sunday, July 30, Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross are throwing their little girl a themed fete.
"We're doing an Andy Warhol-themed birthday party," Ross, 28, told Us Weekly exclusively at his Art With A Cause event presented by Freedom United Foundation on Thursday, July 27. Simpson added of the forthcoming party: "We're gonna have fun painting and stuff like that."
Despite the immense musical talent on both sides of their brood, the couple insists that their family gatherings don't typically include a jam session between them, Simpson's sister, Jessica, and Ross' mother, Diana. "Everyone's just eating chips and dip and fried chicken!" Ross explained. "Our entire family is so intertwined in such a good way. We're all friends with each other. We're such a good family, it was just meant to be."
The couple, who wed in August 2014, explained that despite being just two years old, their little girl has already inherited Ashlee's big personality. "She looks like me," Ross told Us. "But she acts like Ashlee."
The "Pieces of Me" singer reiterated: "She looks like his twin but has a lot of me in her personality," to which Ross quipped, "Which I am happy about."
Jagger's big brother, Bronx, who Simpson shares with ex-husband Pete Wentz, is also hitting major milestones. "He's so big. He's gonna be 9 in November I'm like, 'What happened?!'" Simpson said. "He's creative and cool and just his own person."
She added: "Bronx is the best."

A port operator at the centre of a two-week union protest and picket line blockading millions of dollars of cargo says the harm inflicted has been "immeasurable".
Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT), which runs a major terminal at Melbourne's Webb Dock, launched fresh legal action on Monday alleging high-profile union leaders were part of a "conspiracy" to maliciously damage the company by helping man the illegal blockade.
The Supreme Court has previously ordered the maritime union to break the costly picket line, which was formed earlier this month in response to the company refusing to give further shifts to a casual employee and union campaigner.
The picket line has been blocking access gates to the site and has left stranded 1000 shipping containers carrying products at the docks, such as Christmas retail goods, fresh food and medicine.
Despite the court order preventing the maritime union from being within 100 metres of the terminal's access gates, the campaign has been widely supported by other trade unions and a blockade has remained in force.
Barrister Stuart Wood QC, for VICT, told the Supreme Court that the damage the blockade had already caused "immeasurable" damage.
"It has lost $2 million in revenue," he said, "but the damage to its reputation, if not priceless, is worth many, many millions more."
The campaign against VICT received a mass show of support from several unions on Friday, in a rally attended by more than 1000 people. The union movement describes the rally as a "community protest".
VICT is now seeking a renewed injunction against the Maritime Union of Australia, and against Luke Hilakari, secretary of Victoria's Trades Hall, who was among the unionists to speak at the rally in support..
VICT is alleging in the Supreme Court that Mr Hilakari and other trade unionists have "wrongly and maliciously agreed to conspire and combine among themselves to injure VICT".
Union barrister Herman Borenstein, QC, said the large group of unionists and community members who attended Friday's rally were simply showing solidarity with the "aggrieved employees" of VICT.
"They said nothing and encouraged nothing by way of unlawful conduct against VICT," he said.
"There is no law of this country that says you have to love your boss."
Justice Michael McDonald said the "overwhelming inference" was that no trucks had been able to access the site for two weeks because of the ongoing illegal blockade.
"If it's not the Trades Hall Council, who is it?" he said.
Justice McDonald on Monday afternoon described the situation at the docks as "plainly unlawful conduct".
"It is a a 100 per cent clear case of unlawful blockading of a company that is in a dispute with the union that wants to go about its lawful business," he said.
Trades Hall issued a statement saying Mr Hilakari had been served with legal documents at his family home over the weekend, adding that it was the first time that a Trades Hall secretary had been "directly targeted in such a hostile manner".
"This is a severe and unprecedented escalation by VICT, who have attempted to intimidate not just Trades Hall but all Australian working people through this extreme action," the statement said.
The court was shown video footage of the mass union rally at Webb Dock on Friday, attended by more than 1000 unionist and high-profile union leaders including Mr Hilakari.
Union lawyers argued in court that the rally took place around a main stage that was 120 metres from the terminal gates, and was not in breach of earlier court orders.
The legal action is the latest development in a bitter workplace dispute affecting the Port of Melbourne, the nation's busiest container port, following VICT's decision to stop giving casual shifts to a union member there.
The company says it stopped giving the man shifts because a security audit found him ineligible to work at the waterfront due to a previous criminal conviction.
Union officials say he was singled out because he had been involved in a drive among co-workers to join the maritime union.

The slowness started on Friday while at stitching. First up, working on my stumpwork piece, "Frosted Berries." I am having difficulty with the needleweaving. Not sure if I just need to grow more hands. But controlling the tension, yet knowing where to weave is escaping me. So I put it down.
Next up. The "Ravish Me" canvas. I've worked the background down to the letters and oops - compensating for both the last letter and the border was beyond me. Sometimes I just can't count like that.
Third try - Eileen Bennet's "Little Green Acorns." I had started the over one alphabet. On the fourth letter, which I'm stitching in a different color 'cause it's my initial, I realize that it's not matching up with the band above. Sure enough, that band has a problem. I skipped a stitch. So out it comes. All in all, not much progress made and I avoided the bag with these three projects for the remainder of the weekend.
Instead of picking up a needle this weekend, I picked up my drawing pencils and graph paper and started in on a bargello design. I have this idea in my head and am trying desperately to make it work. Lots of false starts. Now it's time to transfer what's working to my computer. I tried to start this on the computer, but was having difficulty and just gave up.
All in all, problems wherever I turned. I'm sure if I'd made a souffle, it would have fallen. I hope the herbs I planted survive.

Marinara Madness
Chianti Marinara Sauce
3 tbs olive oil
2 onions, diced
5 cloves garlic, diced
1 c chianti wine (or other red you have on hand)
2- 28oz cans of crushed tomatoes (make sure they have no added sugar)
2 tbs fresh chopped parsley
2 tbs fresh chopped basil
salt and pepper
saute onions in olive oil till softened. add garlic and cook 1 minute. add wine and simmer till reduced by half. add crushed tomatoes and herbs and simmer 1-2 hours till thickened. add salt and pepper to taste.
i cooked up some ground beef and added it to half of the marinara to make meat sauce. you could also use fresh, peeled tomatoes and let them break down. then use immersion blender to smooth it out.
after the sauce was ready i was really hungry from cooking all afternoon. i didn't want to wait for water to boil for spaghetti so i put some sauce on top of some cooked quinoa. i was surprised how good it was. i mean, it was delicious. i ate 2 bowls:)
for those of you who have never heard of quinoa or have never tried it - you must. i will dedicate a post to this fantastic super-grain soon, but for now, here is the recipe for the simple quinoa i made this evening.
Italian Quinoa
1 c cooked quinoa
1/2 c chianti marinara sauce
1 tbs grated parmesan
stir it up and enjoy!

Indy was very well-behaved in the car on that 45-min ride to TTDI, but Bunny.........
Bunny was complaining NON-STOP!
Yes, we had a perfectly timed orchestra playing throughout the entire journey, from the time I loaded him into the car until I parked outside Dr Susanna's house.
Poor Bunny must have been so stressed. I told myself no more car-trips unless absolutely necessary. I'll pay the extra for transport and ask if Dr Susanna could come to the house instead.
Once inside the room, I let both the cats out, and you could see the personality difference in them instantly!
Indy straight away went to hide under a shelf which was partially covered. Dr Susanna most cats would go there if they are scared.
Bunny surveyed every inch of the room, looked out of the window, and "talked". Or was he asking questions, like, "Where is this place? And why am I here? What's going on? You mean I traveled all the way for this? What's in it for me?", etc.
Dr Susanna examined Indy first. We'd repeat the kidney and spleen points since that's where Indy is weak. I had to hold Indy down for the 25 mins as this time, he resisted. Guess the first time, he was too sickly to resist.
Indy made it for the 25 mins, and we did not lose a single needle.
Next was Bunny's turn.
I was quite surprised when Dr Susanna checked Bunny's pulse and felt his organs, and told me Bunny is a "deficient" cat. His pulse is very small and deep-rooted. There is also a hissing sound in his lungs, which could mean there could be a partial blockage.
So, as stout as he appears to be, Bunny is not in very good health, qi-wise.
And this could be due to the fact that Bunny loves to eat just raw chicken meat besides kibble. Raw chicken meat alone is not balanced. But I've tried giving him bone and veggies, he just refuses.
For Bunny, I also had to hold him down, but several of the needles came out before the 25 minutes was up. There were two very sensitive points on the paw that needed to be treated, and Bunny tried to pull out the needles with his teeth! Dr Susanna said most cats hate having these points treated, so it is not surprising. One needle popped out twice and had to be reinserted.
Dr Susanna settling Bunny down before the treatment.
Bunny being treated with snacks after the session.
Indy hiding under the book rack.
Dr Susanna emphasizes a lot on nutrition. A balanced raw diet is good, but not all cats can eat raw food. Next best would be a balanced home-cooked meal. I'm going to look at some recipes and try this out. Next to this, for busy owners, would be good quality canned food like Natural Balance, Go! and Addiction. The fourth choice would be good quality dry kibble.
A word about kibble - always buy the smallest possible bag even if you need a lot. The reason is there is a certain fungus that grows on kibbles without being visible and this fungus is very toxic. And keep the kibbles in the fridge at all times to preserve its freshness as long as possible. Take out the needed portion directly from the fridge to feed your animals.
All this is new to me. I didn't know kibbles had to be kept in the fridge.
And another word about kibble - they don't seem to spoil even if you kept them for months. That shows how much preservatives are contained in it.
That is why it's the fourth option!
Now, for me, this is really valuable information. I'm determined to gradually change my cats' diet.
After the session, I brought the cats back amidst Bunny's orchestra.
After settling the cats in and feeding Indy (he still has to be force-fed), I went catfood hunting again.
Luckily Amy Lim allows me to exchange some of the unopened canned food I had bought yesterday. This time I bought more Natural Balance and voila! - for now, I've actually found a brand/flavour to satisfy the taste buds of each of my cats, including fussy Tiger who insists on Fussie Cat and nothing else. Tiger is not willing to take any other canned food except Natural Balance Salmon (tiny bits mixed with a lot of his Fussie Cat).
Dr Susanna described how she patiently converted the diet of one of her own cats from kibble to home-cooked. It took her three years of persistence and committed patience. It started off with just placing some home-cooked food onto the bowl next to the kibbles and the cat not licking it at all. Then, this progressed to the cat being willing to sniff it. Next was being willing to eat some of the kibbles which had a hint of home-cooked food. And finally, happily-ever-after, after THREE years, the cat would eat only home-cooked and does not want kibble anymore.
Animals are creatures of habit, and old habits die hard, yet they can be changed, if we are persistent enough.
I'm going to be very persistent here... Not pushy, just persistent. And I'll definitely give time for change to happen.
My first step is to get a brand/flavour of good quality canned food for each cat. After two days of trying, I think I've got there already. I'll let this new habit settle in for at least a few weeks or months before introducing another change. Worse come to worst, at least I've made this one major change towards better nutrition for them.
For fussy Tiger, it would have to be a dash of Natural Balance mixed into his Fussie Cat for now. Maybe, for the next few months too. Pole and Cleo are very fussy eaters as well. Bunny will eat anything as he just loves to eat!
Good food = Good Qi = Better health and wellbeing.
We are what we eat.

I only have random thoughts for now. I number them only for ease of commenting.
1. At the beginning of this week, we had nothing on our calendar, other than going to church for the entire weekend - nothing! I wasn't playing anywhere, Dave was not eldering, we had no committments other than we could pick what church service to attend. I was so looking forward to this nothingness. Then I got an email from a friend who I promised to play the piano for in October. The only time that I can rehearse with his band is Saturday at 11:30 am. Ugh! So that means I have 10:30 am - 2:00 pm committed. Spleesh! I really wanted to clean the house this Saturday. After cleaning the church kitchen last Saturday, I feel like I need to focus on my own house. I guess I can at least make the kids vacuum and dust.
2. My boss wore white shoes to work yesterday. I didn't point out to her that Labor Day had passed.
3. I now have a cardiologist. Last week, I went to see him to have my mitral valve prolapse evaluated. Oh, it's there all right, and I am probably at a higher risk than most people for a TIA, but there's nothing imminent to be concerned with. Next February I have to have another doppler echocardiogram and a stress echo. That's the test where you have to run on a treadmill and they monitor your heart. I told the doctor that I don't run unless something is chasing me.
4. I've had a busy couple of days updating software at work. There is an update for the software we use to connect to our online catalog. Technically, I'm not supposed to start loading the update until next Tuesday, but it's available now and I have the time now so I started anyway. So far, I don't think the universe has collapsed. I actually only have 7 computers left to update. Go me!
5. Our waterbed (yes, we have a waterbed) has apparently sprung a leak. Should I be concerned about this? I haven't decided. We've had other waterbed mattresses leak and all you have to do is find the leak and patch it. Shouldn't be a big deal.
6. I forgot my cell phone at home this morning. It feels very strange not to have it here at work.
7. I have two reminders that keep popping up on my screen here at work. I should probably quit posting and take care of the two items.
8. Have you ever tried to get 30 people from all over the state to come to a consensus about something via email? It just doesn't work.
9. Last night I ditched my family -- again. I went over to help someone from church get ready to move. Her husband works long and odd hours and they have a three year old and a three month old. I mostly held the baby and read books to the three year old. I packed a few boxes, after the kids went to bed, but I feel like I didn't help that much, although she assured me that I was a great help. That's good.
10. Hannah's first volleyball game is next week. I'm really proud of the progress she's made. I don't really care if they win or not, but I hope that the teams are fairly evenly matched. We have a button-making machine at work and I want to make buttons with all the girls on the team on them for their parents.

In brief, my review of 2009: it sucked. Goal for 2010: Have it not suck.
On the LetsRun weekly 50+ thread, I put it thus (with slight modifications):
2009 never really got going. I had some decent early races, but they paled when compared to their 2008 counterparts. I attribute it to the residual effects of my elbow injury. I hurried things up out of impatience and never got things right, mentally as much as anything.
2010 will, I hope, develop more smoothly. Although I'm dealing with a nagging IT issue, I'd like to gradually build up a nice base aiming for good racing in May and June. I'd really like to get a good 10K and a good HM and prove that 2009 was not a precipitous drop but merely an aberration. Then, in the fall, maybe do NY.
The most important word there is "maybe." If one makes racing a marathon a year's target, there should be no "maybe" about it. Yet here on December 30, I'm just not sure. But I'll address that in a later post.

Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei
Title: Prosecutor General of Iran
Sanctions: European Union (April 12, 2011) & United States (September 29, 2010)
On September 29, 2010, the United States designated Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei for his involvement in serious human rights abuses, as documented by the U.S. Treasury.[1]
In April 2011, the European Union included Mohseni-Ejei among a number of individuals subject to sanctions for human rights violations. [2]
Prior to Mohseni-Ejei's appointment as Prosecutor General of Iran, he was Iran's intelligence minister, although President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly fired him in July 2009, according to The Washington Times.[3]
As intelligence minister during and after Iran's June 2009 elections, Ejei commanded intelligence officers responsible for extracting false confessions from politicians, journalists, activists and dissidents through the use of torture, abuse, blackmail, and threats towards family members, according to a report by the European Union.

According to Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, during the Ashura protests in December 2009, Mohseni-Ejei, then the Iranian government's chief prosecutor, reportedly declared that "'[f]rom now on, we will show no mercy' to protesters or their families." [5] During the Ashura protests, Mohseni-Ejei stated that "the foreigners who were arrested would be prosecuted as Moharebeh (enemies of God) and promptly executed," according to a report by Iran Human Rights Documentation Center. [6]
Foreign Policy reported that "Mohseni-Ejei [was] one of the most influential clerics in Iran's security establishment."[7]
During his time as Special Court chief, a position he held before he became intelligence minister, he imprisoned Tehran's mayor for corruption, but "reportedly ignored malfeasances committed by those with whom he is financially involved or politically sympathetic," according to Global Security.org. [8]
In 2009, Mohseni-Ejei stated that "The confessions obtained from those arrested could be made public, should the Judiciary decide to air their remarks," although none of these Iranians were given access to lawyers, according to a Human Rights Watch report. [9]
Mohseni-Ejei said in mid-2011 that "if political prisoners [from protests] did not 'recant' they would not be permitted any of the rights normally given to prisoners such as temporary leave and family visits," according to an Iranian news source.[10]
