I'm a dad. I have two small children. And I noticed the other day that whenever I get out of the car after driving my family somewhere, I'm all sweaty, I feel agitated and a little bit on-edge. My heart rate's faster, I notice I've been gripping the steering wheel like I'm trying to strangle the thing. And y'know you might be thinking: Duh, driving is stressful especially with two small children. Right, but why does it make me sweat so much and jack up my blood pressure and make me so irritable? What's going on to make that happen, because it sure doesn't seem to be making me drive better? Well, it turns out that what's causing me to feel stressed while driving is one of the most important systems in our bodies, not far behind some things like the digestive system and the respiratory system. And it's this system that is wreaking havoc on David's mental health and making his mom, Sheila, terrified that there's something wrong with her son.
Hello, I'm Corey Busch and you're listening to the Teen Mind—the show where we follow one teenager and his family and learn to change the way we understand and talk people closest to us, especially our teens.
So, today: What is happening to David that's causing him to, as his mom puts it, "not be himself anymore." We'll get deeper into David's experience and learn how a little bit of brain science can help us think very differently about anxiety, anger, and fear.
And a few quick notes: David and his family are fictional characters. Any resemblance to real people is strictly coincidental. Also, if you haven't listened to episode one where we meet Sheila and her son David, I encourage you to do so before continuing with this one.
So, to understand David's experience, we need to get back in the car with me for a bit.
So, I like to think I'm a good driver. The problem is that sometimes I get a little bored, and maybe I get distracted. So, if I see one of those billboards that looks like a giant TV, y'know the ones that change pictures every few seconds, I might take my eyes off the road for a bit: Oooooh, big shiny screen! And just a few weeks ago, I'm on the highway, and I pass one of those billboards, and my eyes wander. By the time I look back to the road, the car in front of me has slowed to about 20 miles per hour and I'm still going 68.
And what happens next is, I think, pretty amazing. In a fraction of a second, before I'm at all aware of what's going on, my brain senses danger and sends a cascade of hormones throughout my body, speeding up my heart rate, sending more energy to my muscles, and overriding the slow, rational parts of my brain in favor of the quick, reactive parts. The end result is that both of my hands immediately grip the steering wheel, while my foot flies to the brake. My reaction time is almost super-human. My focus and my hand-eye coordination are precise and flawless. I swerve my car to the left just in time to avoid smashing into that mini-van.
And for several seconds after, I feel the effects of these hormones, mostly adrenaline and cortisol, still pumping through my body. It's not just my muscles, my heart-rate, and my reaction time. My stomach and throat feel tight and uncomfortable. I'm breathing faster, my jaw is clenched, my mouth is dry, I'm sweating like mad, and my hands and feet feel cold. And I'm not aware of it, but my immune system has kicked into overdrive and my digestive system has pretty much shut down.
This process that takes control of my brain and body is called the Stress Response or, as we'll call it, the Fight-or-Flight Response. And when we left Sheila, she didn't realize it, but this response was playing a huge part in her son's dramatic decline in school, and in his mood at home.
To understand this, we need to talk a bit more about what was happening to David the beginning of his sophomore year. David had started feeling quite a bit of stress about school starting his freshman year. His parents and teachers had talked a lot about how important his grades were in high school, how these grades really count when it comes to college. And a big part of David's identity was that he was a great student, not a good student, a great student. He'd constantly been told this since he was in grade school.
So before 9th grade, he made a goal for himself to get straight As, a 4.0, all throughout high school. And as 9th grade ended, and he looked at his report card, with the 4.0 at the top, he felt a pressure starting build. A pressure to maintain that 4.0. And without knowing it, his parents added to this pressure, making a big deal out of the 4.0, telling relatives and friends about it. And so what happened after his freshman year is that, in David's mind, anything below an A meant total failure.
David was taking a lot of AP classes his sophomore year, and one of them, Ms. Washington's Composition class, was famous for being really hard. And the first week of school, she assigned a 1 page paper where they were to describe a metaphor for their experience as a student for the past 10 years. David wasn't a big fan of the assignment and had a quiz in Biology he had to study for, so he didn't spend a ton of time on the paper. When he got it back the following week, there was a C- at the top, followed by the words, "shows lack of effort."
And in that moment David felt like he'd been punched in the gut. He felt his face getting red, there was a tightness in his stomach and his throat, and this kind of cloudy, but very intense sense of impending doom. It was a feeling very much like how I felt when I saw I was about to barrel into that mini-van. After a few minutes, the initial shock of the C- started to wear off and David noticed his shaky hands, his flushed face, and his pounding heart, and he thought he was maybe going crazy.
And then he became aware of the other kids in room and his fear intensified again, because if he was going crazy, then everyone was going to see him lose it, and suddenly the only thing he could think was "Get out of here now!" and he stood up, whispered to the teacher something about feeling sick, and walked out the door.
And so it is here that David experienced his first anxiety attack.
So, both David and I experienced stressful situations. Both David and I felt the rush of the fight or flight response taking over. If you were to closely watch all our major organ functions during our two stressors, you'd see very similar things happening in our brains and bodies.
But, just hold, let's just think about this for a second: David was afraid of…the possible future reactions of other human beings. And I was afraid of … imminent death. So…why are our bodies triggering the same protective response, because, c'mon, these are very different dangers we're talking about. And there's the $64,000 question. And that's what we're going to be wrestling with for quite some time here.
So, let's dive in!
I guess, this would be a good time to introduce our friend, the amygdala. Because it's the amygdala that's going to be responsible for this whole mess.
So, I want you to think about the security screening line at an airport. And think about the TSA agent whose job it is to watch the x-rays of all the baggage, carefully check every bag for any hint of what might be a dangerous item, even if it's just a container of yogurt. Well, I want you to imagine one of those TSA agents in David's head, scanning every piece of information sent to his brain through his five senses. That TSA agent is David's amygdala. Every face he sees, every voice he hears gets filtered through the amygdala. And it is his amygdala who has a finger on the Alarm in David's brain, which when pushed, triggers the fight or flight response and his anxiety attack.
And just like the TSA, the amygdala's MO is better safe than sorry. Better to sound the alarm because of yogurt than to let a bomb pass through. And this is where the sensitivity of David's amygdala gets really important, because different people's amygdalae are sensitive to different things, and for reasons we'll get into next time, David's happens to be really sensitive to failure.
And so both David and my Amygdala reacted in about the same way, but there are key differences in our experiences as well. And I think it's important to deal with some terms here, and that's the difference between anxiety, and just plain old healthy fear.
One thing you'll notice is that there was a clear resolution to my experience with danger. The threat to my life was there one second and then completely gone the next. The stress hormones were allowed to run their course, and then my body gradually recalibrated to "everything's okay" mode, and soon enough, flushed the hormones out. I was experiencing plain old fear.
The threat to David, on the other hand, did not have a clear resolution. That C- lead to the spiral of anxiety that kept him awake that night Sheila came to check on him.
And here's where we need to talk about maybe the most important function affected by fight or flight: Our thinking. Because fight or flight makes it harder to think in the cool, rational way we humans are so proud of, and it switches our thinking to be more fear-based, more reactive. Some brain scientists call this "flipping your lid" And one thing we know about teenagers, is that they are much more likely to flip their lid than adults are. They have a harder time processing emotions in the rational part of the brain.
And what this means for David is that during his anxiety attack, he flipped his lid, and his thinking became extreme, almost apocalyptic: "My friends are going to completely reject me." "My parents aren't going to love me anymore." "My teacher thinks I'm the laziest kid in this school." And then these thoughts actually continued to trigger his fight or flight response, which continued to flip his lid and maintain his apocalyptic thoughts.
And so for David, the danger never really went away. The tight feeling in his gut, the feeling of impending doom, his increased blood pressure: These eased but stayed with him. This is a really big deal. It's what separates anxiety from fear. Anxiety is a cycle of stressor triggering fight or flight, triggering negative thoughts which then re-trigger fight or flight and down it goes. This is very different from regular fear, where fight or flight is resolved after the danger goes away.
So, before we talk about what this means for us, let's talk about another important fight or flight response: anger.
And let's take a look at a conversation between David and Sheila a few days after that first anxiety attack. David's been in fight or flight mode for the better part of three days, and we'll just say, the guy's on edge. Sheila asks about that paper, the one he got a C minus on. Right away, his fight or flight jumps to red alert and he flips his lid, rational thought going out the window.
He starts with a flight tactic, evading the question, with an inaudible, "iuoouu." Sheila asks again, because she actually just couldn't hear him. David responds about the same way, "mmouduoph." But then, one more time, she asks, and he unconsciously switches from flight to fight, "I don't know mom, I haven't gotten it back yet. God, are you going to ask me about every single assignment this year? I'm not a little kid. I can take care of myself!" And he storms out, leaving Sheila stunned in the dining room. PAUSE And as the next few months unfold, Sheila sees a lot more of these angry outbursts from David. And behind every one is his amygdala, lashing out in order to protect him from any topic that smells of failure.
So before we wrap up, let's get into how knowing about the fight or flight response can help you in your life with your real teenager, or partner, or toddler, or parent.
The first thing is that the fight or flight response is automatic and happens mostly outside of our control. This means that when David gets angry at his mom, he's not really in control of his anger. Or when he can't fall asleep, that anxiety is not on purpose, it's his amygdala taking over. And so you might hear people say, "you shouldn't be so upset about this, because it's not that big of a deal." Well, now we know better. Telling our teens, or anyone for that matter, to not be angry, sad, anxious, afraid is like asking someone who's running on a 90 degree day to stop sweating. And you might say, well it just doesn't make sense, why is he getting so upset about a C-? Great question. In two weeks, I'll tell you.
The other thing about the fight or flight response is that it's contagious. Have you ever sat through someone giving a presentation when they're really nervous? It makes you nervous, doesn't it? When people around us are in fight or flight mode, we unconsciously respond with our own fight or flight. As far as your amygdala knows, if the guy next to you is freaking out, well then, maybe you should be freaking out too!
So, this is huge for you and your teen, because if you start a conversation really stressed or angry, then, you've just sabotaged the whole thing before it even starts. Because your flipped lid will likely trigger your teen to flip theirs, killing your chances of having a productive, rational conversation. So, before talking, take a few minutes to calm your fight or flight response: take some deep breaths, meditate, go for a walk, whatever works. You'll increase your chances of success before even opening your mouth.
Thanks so much for listening. Next time: What happened that made David so sensitive to failure? And why does his fight or flight mode, a system apparently designed for physical danger, kick in for a threat that has nothing to do with physical safety: A red C- on a piece of paper.

Patrick Peterson, who is arguably college football's top shutdown cornerback, is featured on the Tigers' poster. LSU's abundance of talent on defense will keep it in the thick of the Southeastern Conference West Division race, but the Tigers' hopes and dreams will ultimately ride on the development of the offense. LSU was a lowly 112th in total offense in 2009, and that won't cut it in the rugged SEC.
Creating a poster schedule might look like easy work, but it's truly a job for trained professionals. LSU publications director Jason Feirman has detailed the process behind this poster. Read about it by clicking here. The process began last fall and the poster was sent to the printer earlier this week. It will be available to fans on Aug. 8.
As a run-up to the start of the season, the Wiz will display one poster each day until our supply is exhausted. Last year, the site displayed 69 posters.
Then we turn it over to readers, who will vote on the poster of the year. In the meantime, send your team's poster schedule to jayzuma (at) gmail.com.
This is the 22st poster that has been displayed, and we have 37 in hand.

Rite II:

Amen.
8 The child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac. 10So she said to Abraham, 'Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac.' 11The matter was very distressing to Abraham on account of his son. 12But God said to Abraham, 'Do not be distressed because of the boy and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for it is through Isaac that offspring shall be named after you. 13As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also, because he is your offspring.' 14So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes. 16Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, 'Do not let me look on the death of the child.' And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 17And God heard the voice of the boy; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, 'What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid; for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18Come, lift up the boy and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make a great nation of him.' 19Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. 21He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
12 Rise up, O Lord;
lift up your hand, O God; *
do not forget the afflicted.
13 Why should the wicked revile God? *
why should they say in their heart, "You do not care"?
14 Surely, you behold trouble and misery; *
you see it and take it into your own hand.
15 The helpless commit themselves to you, *
for you are the helper of orphans.
16 Break the power of the wicked and evil; *
search out their wickedness until you find none.
17 The Lord is King for ever and ever; *
the ungodly shall perish from his land.
18 The Lord will hear the desire of the humble; *
you will strengthen their heart and your ears shall hear;
19 To give justice to the orphan and oppressed, *
so that mere mortals may strike terror no more.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, 4who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. 6If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering. 7Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our consolation.
1 Jesus said to his disciples, 'Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! 2It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. 4And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, "I repent", you must forgive.'
5 The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith!' 6The Lord replied, 'If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea", and it would obey you.

For food lovers, Black Friday is not so much a day of shopping as it is a day of culinary problem-solving. We spend our day imagining up creative and delicious ways for using Thanksgiving leftovers.
If you think that sandwiches are the only way how to use Thanksgiving leftovers, you're absolutely wrong. There are all sorts of wonderful ways to "upcycle" the turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, ranging from loaded homemade pizza to a meal-worthy turkey salad featuring clever dinner-roll croutons to even — yes — jelly doughnuts filled with cranberry sauce.
Wondering what to do with the Thanksgiving leftovers currently filling your fridge? Here are a few inspiring ideas to help you figure it out:
Thanksgiving leftover pizza:
Think sandwiches are the only way to make turkey leftovers meal-worthy? No way. Load your leftovers on a homemade pizza crust and bake until toasty. A hearty meal like this will keep you warm all day long.
Makes 1 pizza
- 1 batch pizza dough (A delicious recipe is included in the course materials for the FREE Bluprint mini-class Perfect Pizza at Home)
- Thanksgiving leftovers (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, etc)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Pre-bake crust for 7 minutes. You're not cooking it entirely, but since the toppings are pretty much already cooked, you're pre-baking the crust so the rest doesn't dry out.
Step 3: Remove from oven, and load with whatever Thanksgiving leftovers you'd like (for instance, cranberry sauce on the bottom, stuffing and mashed potatoes scattered on top, then a layer of turkey, drizzled with gravy and topped with cheese). Return to oven and bake for 8 to 10 more minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
Step 4: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Turkey-cranberry-green-chile sandwich:
Okay, fine. Everyone loves a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, so there's got to be at least one in this roundup. But here's a unique spin on the classic day-after treat: this one features the rich, mellow heat of green chile, tart cranberry sauce, creamy cheese, and of course, turkey. It's even better on homemade bread, of course. The idea is simple: assemble, and grill to toasty perfection. It's a keeper. Recipe here.
Cranberry-sauce jelly doughnuts:
Want a fantastic use for those cranberry sauce leftovers? Use them to create homemade jelly doughnuts. A yeast-raised dough is cut out and fried until puffy. Once cool, you can create a hole using a paring knife and pipe in some jellied cranberry sauce for a tart filling that is beautifully paired with a snowy topping of confectioners' sugar. These yeast-raised doughnuts are a delicious and impressive treat to serve all Thanksgiving weekend long. Recipe here.
Thanksgiving leftover bar cookies:
These rich shortbread bars make tasty use of several Thanksgiving odds and ends, including the mixed nuts that always seem to be on the table, plus leftover cranberry sauce. These bars are legitimately tasty, and hold their own as a snack or dessert. Recipe here.
Pumpkin pie milkshake:
The photo may be unassuming, but there's an entire slice of pie lurking in that shake! True, pumpkin pie is probably among the rarer Thanksgiving leftovers. But should you find yourself with an extra slice, treat yourself real nice with a milkshake featuring pumpkin pie and ice cream.
Makes 2 servings
- 6 ounces whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
- Small handful mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 small slice pumpkin pie (we used one on which the crust measured about 2″)
- 4 to 5 ice cubes
- Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, to taste
Step 1: In a small saucepan, warm the milk. Once warm, add marshmallows and continue to warm (but not boil) until marshmallows are fully melted. Add in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger or spices to taste.
Step 2: Place pie slice in blender with the ice cream. Pour liquid mixture over pie slice, and add ice cubes.
Step 3: Blend until smooth.

Turkey salad with cranberry dressing:
Make a virtuous but flavorful meal from your leftovers. A salad featuring leftover turkey gets its zing from homemade dressing made with leftover cranberry sauce, and homemade croutons made from leftover dinner rolls add a pleasing crunch. Recipe here.
Potato and stuffing cakes:
All you need to do is combine some leftover stuffing with a little butter to re-moisten it, and an egg to help it stay together. Then, form patties and pan-fry them for a delicious crispy snack or side. It couldn't be easier — or tastier.
Makes 6 patties
- 1 cup prepared stuffing
- 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon butter, for pan
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the stuffing, potatoes, butter, egg and 1/2 tablespoon of the melted butter. Stir to combine. It should be sticky, but moldable.
Step 2: Form the mixture into patties, about the size of meatballs.
Step 3: In a medium skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan (a couple at a time), and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until crispy. Flip, and repeat on the second side. Serve warm. If desired, dip in leftover cranberry sauce to serve.

Implementing Scalable CAN Security with CANcrypt - CANcrypt functionality
Editor's Note: Advanced vehicles present multiple threat surfaces and demonstrations of vulnerabilities continue to generate headlines. Among those vulnerabilities, the standard CAN bus has been a favorite point of entry, enabling access to the diverse digital control systems within newer vehicles. With the next generation of connected vehicles, the need for secure networking within vehicles becomes even more urgent as more diverse wireless connectivity options in vehicles present even more options for unauthorized access to vehicles and their control systems. In the book, Implementing Scalable CAN Security with CANcrypt, Olaf Pfeiffer offers a vitally needed improvement on the conventional CAN protocol.
Adapted from Implementing Scalable CAN Security with CANcrypt, by Olaf Pfeiffer (Embedded Systems Academy), 2017.
3 CANcrypt functionality
The first proof-of-concept implementations of CANcrypt were done on multiple NXP LPC17xx devices and a PC with a PEAK PCAN driver interface. Demo code is available for download at www.esacademy.com/cancrypt.
3.1 Summary
With CANcrypt, we offer a framework to handle both authentication and encryption of CAN messages. As there is some message overhead, the CANcrypt security features should be used only by a limited number of devices (the current version supports up to 15 devices) and only for selected messages (selected by CAN message ID). Depending on the chosen security level, encryption may be used not only on entire messages but also on selected bytes.
Security features are based on shared symmetric keys. There is a group key for all devices participating in the secure communication and a pairing key for secure channels between two devices. The secure pairing channel has a higher security level for use in system configuration or especially sensitive point-to-point connections such as bootloader communication.
3.1.1 Pairing
The CANcrypt pairing mode connects a CANcrypt configurator with a CANcrypt device and provides a secure communication channel supporting both authentication and encryption.
Secure messages are transmitted in pairs, first a preamble message that contains security configuration details and a signature followed by the message with the data.
The dynamic pairing key used between paired devices is continuously updated by introducing new bits generated as described in section (2.2.1 "The bit-generation cycle"). The update frequency is configurable.
3.1.2 Grouping
The CANcrypt grouping mode establishes a group of secure devices. In this mode, every device produces a secure heartbeat. The dynamic grouping key is updated based on random values in the heartbeats. No other messages use security features.
All grouped devices monitor the network for manipulations (injections, collisions in the data field) and stop producing the secure heartbeat on detecting such a manipulation.
Receiving a secure heartbeat indicates that all previous messages from the transmitting device are authentic – otherwise the device would not have produced the secure heartbeat.
Note: due to application specific delays in drivers and buffers it might be necessary to wait for two following secure heartbeats before considering a message authenticated.
3.2 Basic functionality
In this section, we outline the basic functionality provided by CANcrypt. This includes generation and updates of keys, generation of the one-time pad, and the generation and evaluation of the secure message pair.
3.2.1 Key management and key hierarchy
Security systems require keys. Security keys require management. Who keeps a copy of which key where? Does a manufacturer need to keep a copy of each individual key of every product ever produced? Which keys does a system builder or integrator need access to?
To support multiple keys at different security levels (for example for the manufacturer, system integrator, and owner of a system), CANcrypt implements a key hierarchy of up to six keys. Each of these keys has a key ID, and the higher the value for a key ID, the higher the security level.
Keys can never be read from a CANcrypt device. They can only be erased or newly generated. To erase a key, a configurator must establish a direct secure connection (active pairing) to a single device based on one of the stored keys. Once the devices are paired, the configurator can erase keys of the same or lower hierarchy level only.
In summary: once a key is generated and saved, it can only be erased and regenerated if paired based on a key of the same or higher security level.
The pairing process requires one permanent key and may also involve an optional serial number as illustrated in the figure above, "Key selection from key hierarchy". This method allows a manufacturer to use the same base key in multiple devices. As pairing (establishing a secure channel) may also involve the serial number, a service or maintenance login could still be device specific.
3.2.2 Updating the shared dynamic keys
The dynamic key gets continuously updated following a fixed time scheme. Depending on the configuration, typical update cycle times are 500 ms, 1 s, or 2 s.
For a single pair of devices, a single new bit is generated randomly, imitated by the configurator. With multiple devices, the secure heartbeat is used to introduce new random values to by all participants.
As part of the secure heartbeat, all participating (grouped) devices exchange encrypted random numbers. These shared random numbers are used to generate a new synchronized shared key as illustrated in the figure above. Up to 15 devices can actively participate in this mechanism.
This dynamic key is re-generated with every secure heartbeat cycle.
In paired mode (only two devices involved), the random-bit-generation cycle is used to introduce new bits to the shared dynamic key.
The new bit or bits get shifted into the dynamic key (shift right). This is done in parallel by both paired devices as illustrated in the figure above, "Adding a new bit to the dynamic key". The figure below, "New bit is shifted in", shows the new dynamic key now used by the devices. This updated key is now used for future pseudo one-time pad generations until a new bit gets introduced.
Synchronization challenge
Even if the key update is executed by all CANcrypt devices in parallel, a secure message might still be received using the previous key. Therefore all devices must keep a copy of the previous dynamic key to decrypt and authorize messages that still use the previous key until the key update has been executed by all nodes.

One type of tree that grows in this region is the baobab tree, also calledthe "tree of life" because it provides food, medicine, and shade for the people who live there. The Fulani are nomads and the women are considered to be the most beautiful in West Africa. I met the little girl in orange when I stayed a week in a village in northern Benin in 1996. I had gone there to draw with a friend of mine and this little girl was our constant companion. I chose to combine these images as atribute to the beauty that I discovered in this part of the world.

Microsoft looks to of have opened up its Xbox Live Marketplace beyond the confines of the 360 console. Through a deal with Amazon.com you can now purchase games, points, and subscriptions from the e-tailer too.{ad}
The Amazon Xbox Live service works like most other digital download services, but with Live purchases you receive a code to use on your 360 console. Entering the code is registered as making a purchase and your console gets the content downloaded. Codes are stored in your Amazon account Your Games & Software Library meaning they are safe to use straight away or keep for later input into your Xbox 360.
The new service also extends to allowing for gifts so you can send a friend the code you just received for a game or some points. The gifting option is new for Microsoft's Live service and because it is Amazon you also get the ability to comment and rate different items for sale, as well as sign-up for the usual recommendations e-mails.
Commenting on the new Xbox Live service, Greg Hart, vice president of video games and software at Amazon.com said:
PC gamers have enjoyed the convenience of digital downloads on Amazon.com for some time. Now Amazon.com and Microsoft are bringing that same level of convenience to platform gamers by expanding the reach of the Xbox LIVE digital platform to millions of Amazon customers … This is an exciting day for Amazon.com customers, and we will continue to drive innovation that will provide our customers with the widest selection of video game platform downloads.

Matthew's Opinion
This is an intelligent move by Microsoft to allow for such an association between a major e-tailer like Amazon to happen. It will really open up the ability to buy digital items for Xbox 360 as well as advertise the products on offer further afield.
Not only will Xbox 360 owners be able to take advantage of the new service, but it makes it much simpler for parents and friends to give a gift instead of money to buy things through the console. The classic Amazon comment and rate system is also welcomed and will surely be used heavily by gamers to let others know about their purchases.
I'm sure other online stores will want to get in on the action and allow Xbox Live purchases, but will Microsoft want this to become widespread or just limit it to the largest of the e-tailers? Also, will Sony react with similar services for the PlayStation Network?

Brothers seemed to be living American dream
The first view of the brothers Tsarnaev came in pixelated pictures released by the FBI. Then came a side profile of one of the young men suspected of wreaking carnage at the Boston Marathon and bringing the entire city to standstill: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, white cap on backwards, slipping away down an alley as runners and spectators fled from the bomb blasts.
By yesterday, both were fully exposed to public view, yet the profiles were, if anything, even more disjointed.
The elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who died in a shoot-out with police, was an aspiring engineer and amateur boxer. A photo essay shot at the martial arts gym where he trained showed him arriving expensively dressed, chatting with his pretty blonde girlfriend and expressing…

These high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semi-finalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. Over 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and about half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
To become a finalist, the semi-finalist and his or her high school must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the semifinalist's academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. A semi-finalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test.
From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level, and in February they will be notified of this designation. All National Merit
Scholarship winners will be selected from this group of finalists. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
Three types of National Merit Scholarships will be offered in the spring of 2019. Every finalist will compete for one of 2,500 National Merit $2,500 scholarships that will be awarded on a state-representational basis. About 1,000 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards will be provided by approximately 230 corporations and business organizations for finalists who meet their specified criteria, such as children of the grantor's employees or residents of communities where sponsor plants or offices are located. In addition, about 180 colleges and universities are expected to finance some 4,000 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for Finalists who will attend the sponsor institution.
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 410 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC's goals of honoring the nation's scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

Human slavery is something that existed for thousands of years, and still exists to this day. There are more slaves alive today than at any point in history (more than all the slaves during the plantation days put together).
It's very easy to blame the white european imperialists for the slave trade, to blame the white europeans for it's creation. The akward truth is, that the culture of slavery already existed in Africa when the Europeans showed up. The practice was actually fairly common in the region. If two tribes / villages went to war, it was common practice for the victor to take posession of the losers land, animals, property, and people (as slaves). There were not mobs of white europeans riding around africa, rounding up the locals. Every slave sold to the european imperialists was sold to them by an African. Many had already been slaves for some time in Aftrica, before they were sold and put on the boats.
What the europeans did do, was increase the value of slaves, which, once existing local 'stock' were sold off, did lead to an increase in inter tribal / village warfare as there was now more to be gained from defeating your enemy. The spoils that before would have been in the form of some extra laborours / concubines, could now be sold to the europeans and used to purchase weapons or other items.
The Europeans, Americans, as well as the African slavers of course profited from this.
The UK was the first country to get rid of slavery. Unfortunately, on a legal basis it was not as simple as just passing a law to make it illigal. Slaves, being classed at the time as property, gave their owners certain rights, and it would have set a dangerous president of 'property seizure' by the government that was deemed unexceptable.
The sollution found was to use 'eminent domain' rights already existing in law. But this limited the government to 'compulsary purchase orders'. Feeling that slavery was unchristian and having already decided that the chattling of slaves on ships went against the Magna Carta, the decision was made, and the government 'bought' every slave within the realms controlled by the UK.
It's worth noting, that this cost the government a lot of money. The amount of money spent on freeing the slaves came to just over 60% of the nations GDP. To this day it is still the largerst single ticket expense any goverment has made in the world ever, by orders of magnitude.
While this did not put a stop to the British impirialist actions, and they went on, via 'state sponsored' mercentile companies to exploit much of the world to great national profit at the expense of other. Slavery itself as a whole, ended up as a net loss to the British. (though of course certain individuals did do very well from the whole sordid affair)
It was an unregulated group of people that developed the slave trade. It was a regulated government that ended it.

Statistics are publicly available.
The country that mainly benefited was America.
Overt slavery still happening on a large scale in the middle east. But we need oil, so who gives a fuck, besides if we make a noise about it, some oil shill will just call us islamophobic, so fuck it.

And this weekend it was announced that Carson Pirie Scott will be closing its downtown location. The closure of the 600,000 square foot store is part of the long decline of State Street, once one of the world's premier shopping districts:
State was once studded with department stores. Among the names gone forever are Montgomery Ward & Co., Rothschild & Co., Schlesinger & Mayer, the Fair, Mandel Bros., Goldblatt Bros. Inc. and others.
Sears left, then came back. Marshall Field's remains, though it is about to become Macy's. Others are long gone.

I do like a challenge. And yes, I'm late - terribly late....we're almost halfway through the alphabet but I'm sure I can catch up!
The wonderful Alona Tester who I met for the first time last week at the Family HIstory Expo has devised this meme - bless her!
At first I was going to use surnames but I think place is a better way to go with this challenge because ultimately I think that's how we can all best connect is through place yes? The people come and go but the place remains.
So - perhaps rather unimaginatively today I am focussing on - yes, you guessed it...Ireland.
Now, what I'm amused at is how proudly I assert my Irish ancestry. When I truthfully look at my ancestry - I am way more English.
Of my four grandparents - three were Australian-born and one English-born..Of my eight great-grandparents, three were English and five were born in Australia. Of my sixteen great-great-grandparents eight were born in England, two in Ireland, one in Scotland and five in Australia. I could go on but I think you get the picture.
So Irish research. Well I haven't done much. Let's be honest...none.
So where to begin? Here are some suggestions for me and you if you are in the same boat.
- Join an interest group in your Society - QFHS is blessed with the lovely Mary King and other colleagues to help you find your way
- Borrow a book from your local library - the latest edition of John Grenham's as pictured above is now available for purchase at QFHS or borrowing from Moreton Bay Regional Libraries. John recommends the following resources for Australian researchers trying to identify their Irish place of origin: Convict transportation records which can be accessed here; Assisted immigration records and Civil Records (e.g. Births, Deaths and Marriage registrations. Chapter 5 is devoted to The Internet and online sources. In Chapter 8 he provides a generous bibliography for researchers in Australasia. Chapter 13 provides county sources lists. Really this is a fabulous book and I may just have to buy it!
- Borrow/Buy magazines. June's edition of Family Tree has two articles which might be helpful to you - one by Chris Paton entitled Inside Story: Ireland's Genealogical Journey and one by Mary Evans called Ulster Folk. I'm going to try Chris' suggestion of checking out www.irishgenealogy.ie which "offers free access to church records from counties Carlow, Cork, Kerry and Dublin City. "
- Read blogs - I found this one today. Yes, I know it's headed up the Irish in America but it's still got relevant posts for researchers in other parts of the world.
- Join the National Library of Australia today - yes I know it's in Canberra but you can still join it online and access some fantastic resources - e.g. overseas newspapers - thanks to Charlie Nolan for that big tip.
- Read an online guide to conducting research in Ireland - Grenham recommends the one at the National Archives of Ireland here or the National Library of Ireland here or this one at IrishTimes here
|Anne's Grove, County Cork courtesy of fringedbenefit on Flickr
I don't have any really verified immigration information though there was a suggestion that perhaps Patrick came out on the Light of the Age to Brisbane in 1864.
Mary King says you need to know your ancestor's townland to really get anywhere. "What's a townland?" I hear you cry. Grenham defines it as:
"the smallest official geographical division used in Ireland.....There are more than 64,000 townlands in Ireland.....townlands may be grouped together to form a civil parish...in turn, civil parishes are collected together in baronies....a number of baronies...then go to make up the modern county." (page55)
Grenham recommends the following sites to get an idea of geography in Ireland
<www.seanruad.com> and <www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/placenames> and <maps.osi.ie>
Right. Well I haven't got a townland yet so I will blunder about a bit.
For Cork I might start with:
Margaret Grogan's website with volunteer-transcribed Cork records here. (the link in Grenham's book on page 227 didn't work so I googled it and came up with this link instead - it looks the right one to me).
Waterford Archives also seems to get the thumbs up - you can access it here.
The McLoughlins were Catholic so it seems worthwhile pursuing <www.irishgenealogy.ie> as well given Grehnahm advises that it has Roman Catholic records for Co. Cork.

I think that's enough to go on with....I hope I knock down a few more brickwalls with these tips. Have you conducted research in Ireland...what resource did you find most useful?

A few days ago, a new-found friend of mine mentioned that his New Years Resolution was to get closer to God. I said "Yea, me too," although the year had started and I knew I hadn't picked up my Bible since selecting a Scripture reading for my mom's Celebration of Life back in November. I admitted to him (and myself) that I wanted to get back to where I used to be with God: faithful and fearless. I once had a relationship with God that kept me calm even when my health, my career as an artist, and my crazy love life seemed to be overwhelming and unstable. But those storms seem to have come back with a vengence with some NEW elements to the mix.
The last few months have been the most difficult period of my life to date. Some of you know that in November I suddenly lost my brother-in-law and a week later, my mother. Right after this, I found myself in a severe Lupus flare, and learned I was having issues (nothing life-threatening, but life-altering) with other systems of my body. Financially, my resources were shot. For the first time ever, I was faced with grown up decisions about what to do with my life, how to handle all this insanity that is coming at me all at the same time, and how, in the midst of my tribulation, to help others around me get through theirs. It's enough to lay a person out, and make them give up. Picking up a Bible seemed like a bandaid after a face-off with Beatrix from Kill Bill. Where do I start that doesn't feel forced? I told myself I'll just pick up my Bible and read till something clicks. Yea, that's REALLY motivating...sigh.
My friend then mentioned he's using this app on his iPhone (no, this isn't a plug for Apple; I get no commission off of their sales). It's the Holy Bible by YouVersion that allows you to start Bible lesson plans that center around different topics and last a variety of days, weeks, and months. Eh, it was worth a shot. A lesson plan called "Fearless: A Six Week Journey" catches my eye. From day one, I felt like the devotional was speaking to my fears, my storm. It asked me some introspective questions, and I suddenly remember a beautiful wood-covered journal that my Soror, Lisa, gave me. I decide to make this my spiritual journal where I keep track of what I'm studying, questions I need answered, scriptures that speak to me, and my overall feelings towards my relationship with God. In two days, my heart feels just a little lighter. I feel like the Word is speaking to my soul, telling me to be stronger, and that I can have that fearlessness that I once had before, even through the insanity that is my life.
I don't know if you reading this helps in anyway, but feel free to join me on this journey. The lesson plan is here: http://bible.us/r/5N I'll be blogging any major moments and thoughts, praying that my epiphanies help someone else.
Much love,

While reading reviews of highly recommended augmented reality apps for smartphones I started to put them into some basic categories. Most of them seem to fall into a category I'll call "annotators". Apps such as Layar, acrossair, and the clever Asian Art Museum Terracotta Warriors exhibit app. These annotators show a digital metadata overlay on real world objects. This metadata can be a restaurant review, the name of a star in the night sky, or a painting's date and school.
Another category is heads-up display apps. This provide information we had access to in other devices but display them in front of your eyes so you don't have to look down. Spyglass for example superimposes a compass, geographic coordinates, and other data directly on your view just a fighter HUD. Google glass has many apps that fit in this category and show new email, twitter posts, and so on.
The third category are synthetic apps. These apps create purely digital objects on your view. Augmented reality games use this such as AR Invaders which superimposes a space invaders game on your view. More interesting is an app called Augment which will show you how furniture might look in your room.
Many apps cross categories and I only intend these as rough groups to help think about the possibilities of augmented reality. I think the synthetic apps offer the most intriguing possibilities for fusing the digital and the real.
Categories: Augmented Reality

When you want to show out of town guests a fun time, a trip to Napa is always worth the one hour jaunt north. For folks not from here, it has many of the well known name brand wineries that people like and few unknowns to explore and taste. If you are spending the day, it's usually best to stop and eat somewhere in order to soak up all that wine your tasting and sober up a bit before hitting more wineries or heading back to the city. There are a fair number of places along the road through St. Helena, Napa, Calistoga, etc. They range from popular and expensive, to trendy and expensive to just opened and still a little expensive. Such is the nature of Napa Valley. To say that me and the SO have been to Napa many times, is an understatement. Though, strangely enough, we don't often do a sit down restaurant for food when we go. We hit up places like Dean & DeLuca (yes a little pricey too) and just grab and go. This time around we had some relatives in tow and decided to hit up a popular place the SO really likes and one that I've heard about, but never tried, Tra Vigne. It originally became well known due to it's initial association with Michael Chiarello, though he's no longer involved these days. It seemed like a good idea to go all Italian and wine and we were able to secure reservations in advance (always recommended).
It's a compact menu of a few salads and appetizers, a pizza or two, some pastas and a couple entree dishes. Since we were doing the Italian thing we decided to stick with what they supposedly do best when ordering. Our only deviation was the first course the Brentwood white corn soup.
Grilled white corn, toasted hazelnut pesto and garden chives $10. Warm, creamy and a little sweet, it is a pleasant cup of corn soup. Couldn't really taste any of the grilled part, might have been nice to have some of that smoky flavor. I found it a tad on the one note side. For me it needed a dash of salt and some black pepper to get it to pop some. In general terms it's a nice if unremarkable cup of soup.
Next up was their mozzarella "al minuto" $14. House made mozzarella pulled at the time of ordering and served with grilled country style bruschetta. This was my favorite dish of the day. I love a good fresh mozzarella. It was buttery creamy and springy all at once. Served with some hearty, crunchy grilled bread--I mean really, what is better than fresh cheese and bread? (The answer is nothing in case you didn't know.) When you go here this is absolutely the one dish you must get, especially if you are a cheese lover. It comes with some fresh heirlooms drizzled with balsamic and olive oil. You can sort of make your own caprese if you want, but I say enjoy the mozzarella as is, totally yummy. If this was all I had here, I would be perfectly content and ready for more wine.
While we were out boozing, I kept thinking how much I was craving pizza and really wanted that when we got here. Surprisingly enough, they really only had one pizza on their menu. It had figs on it, of which I am not a fan. Even though they have their off shoot pizza place next door, they don't really do the pizza choices in the restaurant. I was kind of bummed about this. The waiter said they could do the standard margherita pizza with mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil if I wanted. I sighed and said sure, even though I'd probably already been put off and pre-judged this thing before it hit the table. I mean as pizzas go, it was perfectly acceptable, though it felt like the sad cousin of the previous appetizer. It was a mostly thin-ish crust, oven baked pizza. The sauce was a tad sweet, plus I did want more cheese evenly parsed over it. For me it was just an okay pizza, nothing really exceptional about it that made it stand out above other margheritas I've had in the city. But as I said, my judgement may have been clouded by disappointment, hard to know for sure. The SO said it was good, then again, pizza is one of their food groups. Side note, I think they charged us $15 or $16 for it, not really sure.
Continuing on our Italian theme, we moved from pizza to pasta with their sage infused pappardelle with braised rabbit ragu, wild mushrooms and grana padano $18. It was a good pasta dish. The rabbit was tender and in the sauce it reminded of a red wine beef with a slight earthy flavor from the mushrooms. The pasta was cooked perfectly, though I couldn't make out the sage very much. Same with the cheese grated on top, the sauce sort of overwhelmed it, though for me, I don't know that it necessarily needed the addition. Overall, a pleasant enough, slightly rustic fall like dish I liked but can't say it knocked my socks off. As far as pasta dishes go, it's decent, though I will say I did prefer that pasta I had from Flour + Water better as theirs seemed a little lighter, delicate and fresher.
What can I say, 1 really good dish and 3 good enough dishes. Tra Vigne is serving up sort of traditional Italian trattoria food that's good and will please many palates, though they aren't exactly re-inventing things that will make you sit up and say wow. While I wasn't overwhelmed by the place, I didn't out right dislike it or anything I had, it was all perfectly acceptable. I guess if you are entertaining friends and are unsure of what they'll like, Tra Vigne is a good enough option that everyone will most likely, probably, maybe for sure, almost kind of certainly find something they will enjoy on the menu. I mean, even I found one thing.

Dexter Morgan's killing spree may now include the son of a Hollywood icon. Colin Hanks has reportedly signed on for a major recurring role in Dexter season 6.
Specific details about the role Hanks has been handed are scarce, and the network is certainly not offering any clues. What we do know is that Hanks may not be playing one of the three new principle characters the network released details on at the beginning of the month. This information would seem to directly contradict recent comments from Showtime president David Nevins, which had us believing season 6 of Dexter would be without a singular villain for the titular anti-hero to face. Now, with news of Hanks' casting, theories have, of course, begun to run wild that the actor will be the big bad guy.
Though he's had his fair share of roles in feature films like Orange County, King Kong and The House Bunny, Hanks has made more of a name for himself on the small screen. Roles in Mad Men, Numb3rs and the short-lived action-comedy The Good Guys have kept Hanks' name fresh in the minds of viewers. The actor's upcoming role on Dexter could give us a glimpse at a darker side heretofore unseen, and help take his career down a different path.
As detailed in the teaser trailer released earlier this week, Dexter has faced many an adversary who, at first glance, did not seem to pose much of a threat. From Rudy Cooper (Christian Camargo), the Ice Truck Killer to John Lithgow's 2010 Golden Globe-winning role as Arthur Mitchell (or Trinity), Dexter has frequently turned the meek into the menacing. Adding the unassuming and mild-mannered Hanks as a potential foe would appear to be in line with the casting choices the series has made thus far.
Showtime has certainly placed a great deal of attention on their highly rated program recently, so expect the inclusion of Hanks to quickly become part of the promotion.Unlike the decidedly lukewarm reception guest stars Shawn Hatosy (Boyd Fowler), Julia Stiles (Lumen Pierce) and Johnny Lee Miller (Jordan Chase) brought last season, the inclusion of Hanks feels more akin to the roles played by Lithgow and Jimmy Smits.
With any luck, a slow reveal of Hanks' character will aid in making season 6 the kind of suspenseful roller coaster many felt season 5 was unable to deliver.
Look for Dexter season 6 to air on Showtime this fall.

eBay Hack and How it Affects You
By now you would have heard about the eBay hack. A reported 200 million accounts were compromised with the hackers stealing encrypted passwords and other non-financial data like names, email and home addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.
There are a variety of scenarios that could eventuate from a hack of this magnitude and today I would like to illustrate how this hack could potentially affect you:
Firstly, the Stolen Encrypted Passwords
With the encrypted passwords in the hacker's possession, they could use any number of tools to brute force the passwords, cracking simple passwords in a matter of seconds. Obviously once a hacker has your eBay login and password, they can login to your eBay account and peruse the same information and transact in the same way as you could perform on eBay using that same login and password combination.
Beyond this, however, they require additional non-financial information to go any further.
Leveraging Non-financial Information
Once your personal information has been compromised and the data is freely accessible by the hacker, the information along with all other account information can be traded on any number of global hacking sites that trade in credit card and financial data as well as personal information, putting your identity at risk.
Once this information is in the hands of a buyer, they can, and probably will, use the information for any number of nefarious transactions that go far beyond the rather tame in comparison examples I provide below.
Assuming that your PayPal and eBay passwords are the same, then the hacker can access your PayPal account, just as you would, and then search for further information that resides there. They can transact with PayPal just as you would with the same login and password with the potential to make purchases and withdrawals, etc.
Social Networking
Following the logic used before where one assumes that the email address and password combination is the same for a multitude of logins, the hacker can then sign on to any of the social networking sites where you are a member. Again, here they can operate just as you do accessing information, updating information, downloading, uploading and interacting within the site. Some popular sites include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Badoo, etc.
With all of the additional personalised information now at their fingertips, information such as home address, date of birth, photos, etc. easily available to the hacker, you are now open to more serious attacks like targeted phishing attacks. With these types of attacks, hackers go after financial information (online bank accounts, investments, etc.). Additionally, they could transact offline, by say, calling the bank directly and using the information they've uncovered in your records to make telephone transactions.
Keeping Safe
It's important to stay safe and secure online. Some tips for doing so include: make it a practice to react to situations like the eBay hack as soon as possible, don't use the same email and password combination for every site you're on, using a password management application that creates and enforces strong and different passwords across multiple sites, change your passwords often and if you see any suspect activity on your accounts, report it right away.
Stay safe,

Many landlords and property management companies treat credit scores like they're a straightforward indication of the quality of a tenant, but this may not be the case.
If you dig more deeply into a credit report and try to puzzle out the story it tells, you may find information that can mitigate the importance of unpaid bills, bankruptcies and so forth.
But where do you go for the information that can help you figure out why a credit report looks the way it does?
The Tenant
You shouldn't treat your tenant like he or she as the best or final source when you're looking for more information.
Some tenants lie about bad credit or other problems that come up during a screening. If you do ask your tenant what happened, be ready to do more legwork to get the other side of the story.
But it can't hurt to ask.
If you see a problem on a credit report that you want more information about, go to your tenant and ask what happened, in a calm, straightforward manner.
From there, you can do more research.
Of course, if the actual story differs considerably from the tenant's version, you've got another valuable piece of information about your tenant: he or she is willing to lie to you.
Late and Unpaid Bills
Late and unpaid utility bills typically appear on credit reports, even before they go to collections.
Typically, these matters are fairly straightforward and don't involve a lot of homework on your part—a tenant didn't pay a bill, or paid it late, and received a small mark against him or her on the credit report.
Be aware that if you want more information, you may be able to get it from the utility company but, depending on the utility, company, and local laws, they may treat it as a confidential matter.
Debt Collectors
Collections remain on credit reports for a very long time, so you may want to call a debt collector to try to get more information.
What collectors can say about debtors is typically limited by privacy regulations, so you may not be able to get much useful information (and what you can get may vary based on your local or state laws).
Still, it can be worth the effort, and you'll likely be told if the bill was paid off.
If you can't get that information, talk to the prospective tenant and ask him or her to authorize you to speak with the bill collector.
Bankruptcies have, hands down, the most powerful negative effect on a prospective tenant's records.
Thankfully, bankruptcies are a matter of public record. If you want more information about a bankruptcy, you can go to the court where it happened and ask for all salient records.
You may need to do some detective work, however, to figure out where the bankruptcy was filed, especially if the tenant isn't cooperating.
Credit Bureaus
If your tenant claims to have no idea what's going on with a troubling line on a credit report, you (or the tenant) should consider contacting the credit bureau.
Keep in mind that here, too, you may run into problems with confidentiality.
But if there's a line on the credit report that genuinely does not belong there, talking to the credit bureau may give you some perspective, and your tenant may be able to clear it up.
A credit report tells a story about a prospective tenant's financial history over time.
But that story may be incomplete. If a tenant is promising but has troubling credit, taking the time to get more details about his or her financial history may be worthwhile.

Q+A with Our Resident Culinary Visionary, Andy Strizak
As Director of Operations for Spice of Life, Chef Andy Strizak is taking a step out of the kitchen and into the role of leading a business he believes in, right alongside his good friend and longtime colleague, Chef Ben Bebenroth. The two go back to the days of high school and worked together in the kitchen at Parker's Bistro. Some years later, Spice of Life Catering Co. was catering Andy's wedding to pastry chef and owner of Lucky's Café, Heather Haviland, another force behind the local food movement. Wouldn't you just love to spend Thanksgiving with these two, or any day for that matter?
After a long run preparing some of Cleveland's most delectable dishes, Andy is excited about the transition. Read on for the Q&A with the man whose spice collection we envy.
Q. You recently left a highly coveted chef position and joined forces with Ben. What was it about Spice of Life that lured you in?
A. Ben and I have known each other for a long time. We've worked together in the past and it was something that was familiar. I knew it would be a good fit even before I came on.
Q. What is the one dish that will follow you wherever you go?
A. When I worked at Parker's, I put my own twist on the Beef Liver dish. People still ask for it!
Q. When you visualize Spice Kitchen + Bar, what do you see?
A. A fun, casual place where you can get really good food and a nice drink and not to have to break bank. The kind of place I'd like to eat – not intimidating or stuffy.
Q. A major proponent of the Spice brand is eating seasonal – a relatively new concept for many people. How would you advise those ready to make the switch to buy locally in the approaching winter months? Are there any seasonal fruits or vegetables to look out for?
A. The pickins' are slim in the winter months, but if you can find a local Farmer's Market or hoop house, look for squash, brussel sprouts, kale, collard greens, swiss chard and spinach, which are all great, seasonal comfort foods. I recommend jarring and freezing when things are in season. At Spice, we freeze berries when they're at their peak and jar hot sauce, tomato sauce and salsa.
Q. What is the most satisfying thing about your job?
A. What I'm most proud of is being part of a company that I believe in – what it stands for, who they support and who they do business with. It's something to feel good about.
Special thanks to Full Bloom Photography for this great Andy pic.
