20th Mar 2016, 11:01 PM in Season One - Part 3: The Magical Mystery Tour
Average Rating: 4.71 (14 votes)
Author Notes:
Suffice to say that Mercy had a good reason to show this to Ghoul at this location...
Ghoul's got protection charms from Luna, perhaps? That's my opening bid in the guessing game.
Love Mercy's glowing blue eyes! So cool!
Thank you! Those are MAGIC eyes! :)
...I empathize.
At this point I have to wonder, what *doesn't* Ghoul swear at? I could imagine him saying, "These are fucking good pancakes," or, "I'm fucking bored," or, "The fucking square root of 256 is 16, which I fucking know because of my fucking programmer friend who owes me fifty bucks." Really, I have difficulty imagining him not using some damn form of the fucking f-word except when he's specifically trying to watch his language.
Ghoul has reasons to come across as "tough" as possible, and that is part of the reason for the f-bombs. Also, he's a punk, and kind of gets off on causing a scene in "polite" society.
Yes, true punks do tend to have a decent amount of anarchist in their attitudes and behaviour (if you can find any that aren't just poseurs/'fashion-punks').
Speaking of causing a scene in polite society, the other day someone showed me the most brilliantly absurd comment online. The comment is, "i wish you were black and had a big sandwich. ...and a helmet to protect you from it." Where and when should this be quoted for best effect?
About that comment: That would best be applied, I think, to completely disarm a heated and serious debate, most likely directly after making a salient point that is not the absolute crux of the debate.
That could just be me, though.
Heh. It does apply, in a way. Once you see, you can't unsee. :)
This is that moment for Ghoul.
It's terrifying.
My, what a fun thing to see when you're not expecting it.
This reminds me of the old internet prank where the victim is encouraged to read a wall of small-font text, and as he or she does so, a demon face suddenly appears on the screen......
I remember versions where you were supposed to navigate the cursor through an ever-increasingly smaller maze, and as soon as you touched side AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
That's EXACTLY why she brought him to Club Lilith. Because once you can see these things, they can see you.

Manufacturer: Nelson (View all products by Nelson)
Model: 700 Series Automatic Horse Waterer (View all 700 Series Automatic Horse Waterer reviews)
Category: Barn and Stable Misc
Purchase: Nelson Horse Waterers are probably the most popular on the market. It is an extremely well known company with many satisfied customers. I have used them in my outdoor turnout fields. The outdoor field waterer cost around $500, but the price can differ depending on options. The company sells them direct through a catalog.
Likes: I like the unit because it saves me from lugging water buckets. In addition, the water can be heated in the winter, so I don't have to worry about frozen water. It is made of tough stainless steel and it is fairly horse resistant.
Dislikes: There are a few things that I do not like about the Nelson waterer. One is that the horse only receives water out of a small bowl, big enough for him muzzle to drink. This is ok most of the time, except when the power goes out there is no other water reserve for the horses. I have seen other models from different companies that have almost a 10 gallon tank that is always full, so even if the power does go out, the horses still have access to water. In addition, the bowl should be cleaned very frequently because it collects dirt from the horses mouth. Plus, removing the bowl and rinsing it can be sort of a pain.
Quality: Th general quality of the unit is great. However the top and bowl insert does have some delicate parts in it. A horse could do some damage to the bowl and bend it, causing it to be difficult to remove and function.
Summary: I think nelson waterers and automatic waterers in general are great. My biggest problem with the system is if the electricity goes out the horses do not have any water available to them.

Green Coco Water, the New Drink
Alert: Coco water.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about the rise in consciousness about green coconut water. They mentioned that Pepsi and Coca Cola were looking at green coco water as a the new health food drink and are starting their businesses and marketing campaigns in Brazil. In time the product will be marketed in the United States as a health drink and sought by the organic, raw and healthy eaters. Aliances are already being drawn up with Bikram Yoga studios around the country.
What was left out of the article were the incredible benefits of this remarkable plant and drink. First, all coconuts are not the same. Some trees are very tall, some short and the coconuts are green, yellow and brown. The ground up husk of the coconut is a wonderful starter base for seeds and the coconut it self can float on water (salt or fresh) for months. The coconut is an ancient grass and in Sanskrit the coconut is known as the tree that supplies all that is needed to live.
Interestingly, when analyzed coconut water is one of the highest sources of electrolytes found in nature. Wild coconut water is slightly alkaline whereas sweet Thai coco water and flesh are slightly acidic. Coco water is rich in Potassium, low in calories and is sterile. It is identical in content to human blood plasma making it a substitute for a blood transfusion. Traversing through the husk or fiber around the "nut" puts it in the category of a well filtered sterile liquid once it has arrived on the inside of the nut.
One of the most delicious of foods is the young green coconut meat. Like a custard, this meat is wonderful healer of oxidative tissue damage. And for you men, green coco meat is known to restore male sexual fluids.
The soft meat can be used as a thickener in raw food dishes, is wonderful in smoothies, that is, of course if it ever gets beyond your spoon.
In the mature brown coconut, the meat is more fibrous than most vegetables and the coco water is not as sweet. Coconut butter (at less than 78 degrees) or oil (over 78 degrees) has fewer calories than any other fat and when digested does not affect the liver or gall bladder. It is a very good source of energy being high in potassium and mineral content (16.7 calories or 70 kilojoules per 100 grams).
Composition of coconut water in %

Nitrogen 0.05
Phosphoric acid 0.56
Potassium 0.25

Thanks bunq
This is very good news! 👏
Thank you so much for this! It really brings so much more overview and control to my finances.
Thank you, bunq! 🎉🌈
Now an Apple Watch app and you've got the whole ecosystem! (TvOS doesn't count :p)
Thank YOU! 👍😬 Very nice! 🌈
Really great!!
But I found a bug 🐜. When using the hand scanner in landscape mode, the camera stays in portrait mode. It doesn't help to move rotate the iPad to landscape and portrait mode, the camera in the hand scanner stays in portrait mode.
Ah this is a cool surprise!
Very comfortable that it automatically updates the existing iPhone app into the iPad version. I thought I might need to install and choose a different app version myself.
This will surely help in acceptation of bunq for more people. It feels almost like a desktop version. We have seen a lot of people ask for this. And the absence withheld a lot of potential clients to go bunq. So a very smart move.
Also for companies this must be a positive addition to the bunq experience. Maybe the Dutch government cán seriously consider a switch to the bank of the free! 😉
My mother of almost 80 years old will love it as it gives a more clear view.
Two things I noticed.
I expected to be able to move the split screen left to right with my finger. But it seems a fixed width?!
For a moment I hoped I would now be able to make edits to my together posts but that is also not available.
All in all great update ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌈
MarJamJars What do you mean width fixed with? You can choose between small (iPhone like), half the screen or full screen. Also floating on another app works.
mmichael1991 Ahh where I said split screen (that's what it looks like) I mean the width of column on left side in the app.
mmichael1991 There are two columns. on the left the entry and on the right the details. The column width can not be changed. Pity! This will not let you read the topics on the left side of the help screen. I'm glad that this update has been released. Nevertheless, small changes in detail are still desirable.
MarJamJars Ahh, okay 😅. It uses the same width of default iOS apps like mail and settings, so it does make sense to me.
MarJamJars We are using a standard iOS component for the "split view"/"sidebar". That component unfortunately doesn't support resizing the sidebar yet. Like mmichael1991 says, it uses exactly the same as default iOS apps like mail and notes :)
Yes understood. But somehow (because of images covered with second column)... it made me want to slide sideways.
MarJamJars If you have images covered by the bar, that shouldn't happen - if you can send a screenshot to support, that would be much appreciated :) You can also post it here, but please make sure to black out all personal information for your own privacy.
I turned off the dynamic resizing in the IOS settings. So was a dummy user on my side
Elise wowwww how cool is that! You guys did a great job here!
The only downside is that I now want to buy an ipad 😉...
MarJamJars Do you mean the colored blocks? Those are actually embedded in the bar: you can scroll them from left to right to make show up more (works the same on the iPhone btw) :)

On August 30th, 2010 the State of Vermont announced that they were implementing an "eProcurement System for Vermont procurement and purchasing," which according to expectations will go live in early 2011. (Source: GOVMONITOR)
On August 31st, 2010 in a News Release, the State announced that "Chief Technology Officer Tom Evslin to Retire from State Government." (Source: Vermont.gov website)
Now I want to make it clear right out of the gate that other than the timing of the announcements being interesting, these two events as far as I know are not related. SO do not nominate me for the 2010 Oliver Stone paranoia award.
What is however interesting is the fact that given the incredibly high rate of eProcurement initiative failures within the public sector, the State would accept the retirement of someone with the seemingly impressive credentials of a Tom Evslin.
To start, here is an individual who came back from his initial retirement in the first place in March of 2009 to "oversee Vermont's use of stimulus funds and applications for competitive stimulus grants." According to Governor Jim Douglas, the 67 year old Evslin brought the "extraordinary talents," that was "critical" in the State's successful deployment of "hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus money quickly and transparently." Put a check mark in the Procurement expertise column.
The News Release then went on to say that "Before his first retirement, Tom Evslin and his wife, Mary, founded several successful technology companies and he was one of the pioneers of VoIP technology." The enterprising Evslin it was also noted "wrote a novel and a popular blog," and he is an "inventor on eight granted US patents." Put another check in the technological "know-how" column.
Finally, and this is the icing on the proverbial cake . . . the Governor then made the statement that ""Tom's ability to think outside-the-box and envision creative solutions to any problem has made him the ideal fit as state government has had to adjust its approach during the Great Recession." Ring the bell, we have a winner!
In fact after visiting Evslin's Blog "Fractals of Change" and watching his interview on Vermont Public Television's Profile with Host Fran Stoddard, I would imagine that the Governor was less than enthusiastic about this second retirement.
The fact that Evslin, at his own request mind you, worked for minimum wage, which he then returned to the State is a clear indication of someone who is dedicated to serving Vermont and would therefore be an invaluable resource in keeping the new eProcurement initiative on track.
But what do I know about Vermont business! I live north of the 49th in a country which has a "buck-toothed rodent" as its national animal, a deep love of ice hockey and, the tendency to let the occasional "eh" slip out while I am on the air.
Still, keeping a Tom Evslin in the loop seems to make mighty good sense . . . EH!
By the way, check out the following video excerpt of the interview with Evslin in which he discusses leadership:

Well hello 15th! I can't believe we are already half way into the month and just days away from summer!
If you have been following along on Instagram and Facebook, you are probably up to date with my daily outfit style series for the #shopwhatyougot challenge. So how has it been so far? Challenging, inspiring and very heartening:) I am following the other challengers and I think it feels absolutely wonderful to be part of a community of creative and encouraging style bloggers. Thanks Jo for inviting me to join you, I have genuinely been enjoying the last two weeks a lot!
To start with I was fretting over limited pieces and how will I make so many possibilities come out of 30 pieces but 2 weeks in I feel exactly the opposite! It is in fact a lot easier because of the set wardrobe and just mixing and playing with accessories creatively gives the capsule pieces a lot more mileage in terms of outfit possibilities. I find myself getting out the door far quicker and feeling more confident because I am aware that my capsule wardrobe has the pieces that are well suited to my body shape, my current lifestyle and more importantly my personality.
I have done a little analysis to identify the appreciated looks and 'hero' pieces in this capsule wardrobe which in turn has given me deeper insight into what works, where the gaps are and what might be unnecessarily taking up prime real estate in my closet!
Black pull on pants, beige and cobalt blazer and nude flats are on the top of my list for most used pieces this fortnight. The statement necklaces and scarves are adding a new dimension to the outfit most certainly! I also feel grateful to have been featured on 'The Adorn Collective' Instagram feed for styling their Keaton necklace in my 9 to 5 look. The necklace sure has been versatile whether paired with pattern or color alike!
The most loved look on Facebook has been this 'Melbourne Cup' day outfit I wore at work featuring one of the hero pieces- the beige blazer!
The best loved look on Instagram is this floral shirt and pencil skirt look. The classy floral shirt is courtesy of another fabulous brand that I have had immense joy in collaborating with- Hawes and Curtis.
My heightened confidence and joy from the last two weeks tells me that a well chosen and efficient capsule wardrobe can do wonders to your lifestyle and make dressing up for work and weekends a breeze! So if you are feeling inspired too, send me your capsule wardrobe queries and I'll be happy to help you out!
Make sure you stay tuned for the rest of the series…

Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and Galena Police Department Teams Up for Drug Take Back Event
Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and Galena Police Department Teams Up for Drug Take Back Event
[Columbus, Kansas] – On Saturday, October 28, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and Galena Police Department will join the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and law enforcement agencies across the country to give the public its 14th opportunity in 7 years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.
Residents can drop off their unwanted drugs at Apple Market in Columbus, Marvin's IGA in Baxter Springs or the Galena City Hall.
"This program has proven successful locally and nationwide," according to Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.
Last April Americans turned in 900,000 pounds of prescription drugs at almost 5,500 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 13 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 8.1 million pounds of pills.
"With the high prevalence of prescription drug abuse and the opioid crisis, an initiative like the Drug Take Back Program helps address a vital public safety and public health issue. We know the longer medicines languish in homes, they more susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse they become."
"In addition to those who choose to abuse or misuse prescription drugs, we also have concerns about children or others accidentally getting a hold of those drugs and unintentionally overdosing. The Drug Take Back Program provides a safe way for residents to dispose of drugs without introducing them into our waterways," concluded Sheriff Groves.

…and there we have it. It's 2017.
I forgot about the blog.
I had more on my plate than expected and I, like a mega business mogul, made the decision to let some things go. Sounds silly, right? That's because it is.
I've missed this reflecting and writing and communicating and creating.
And the freedom it all brings.
Here's to 2017 – to fresh starts and delicious eats.

Conrad Murray Trial Update
Dr. Conrad Murray
As you are probably aware, I have not been able to continue my coverage of the Conrad Murray Trial. I am quite sorry about this. Although I had hoped to provide a short synopsis of each days testimony, a personal family matter has come up and my sisters have asked that I pitch in with my financial auditing skills. Consequently, I need to devote all my time and energy to that until it's completed.
In the mean time, I'd like to provide some links to various places where you can access coverage of the trial.
Fellow Crime Blogger Rose Speaks has a daily synopsis and court documents on her site.
CNN's IN SESSION has a blog covering the trial.
To watch the trial online, there are many sources (just do a Google® search) but my favorite will always be CNN VIDEO. Once the video page loads, click on the link at the top that says LIVE.
For edgy reporting, check out THE DAILY BEAST'S coverage.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend catching crime reporter Eric Leonard's 4 PM, Pacific Daylight Time reports on KFI, 640AM. Eric gives an excellent recap and always makes the days testimony interesting.
If you want to watch the trial at your own convenience, there is an individual "gurgle1624" on YouTube who is uploading (I believe) the complete trial.
And if you're into crime forums and want to discuss the case with other individuals I will recommend two forums WEBSLEUTHS and JUSTICE QUEST. They are moderated quite differently but each have something unique to offer.
If you're on Facebook, I recommend In Session's page as well as Beth Karas' In Session page.
Although I have not followed the trial since Day 5, I do try to hear Leonard's report on KFI when I can. If you have questions, or would like to discuss the case here, please feel free to leave a comment. Please remember that comments are moderated. All we ask is that you be respectful.

Betsy I just saw a new article by Linda D. of AP that the defense will no longer claim that M Jackson swallowed propofol of his own will, they have no evidence to support this. ONLY NOW they discover they have no evidence to support this?? I mean, how unprepared can they be? It will be interesting, then, to hear their amended argument.
By the way, no one would willingly take such meds orally if it could be avoided, take my word for it, the bitter taste of these types of meds is like something you have never experienced.

Sprocket, could KZ weigh in at some point, considering so much of the testimony revolves around medical issues she has deep knowledge of? That would relieve the burden on you, though put it on her!

Anon @ 10:36 am:
As much as I'm sure she would love to, at this time she can't.
KZ is on vacation and her internet access to watch the trial is completely unreliable at this point.
I believe she won't be available to comment on the testimony until approximately the end of the first week of November.

Wes, I think the defense knew they were going to do this all along. That's just my personal opinion. I don't believe it was a last-minute ditch effort.
In opening statements, you throw whatever you can out there and hope some of it sticks in the juror's minds.
Closings will be interesting to watch. I hope I can find the time, but my other project is much more important to my family at this point.

Thanks for the update. I can't follow HLN in the evening because they take such a Circus- like approach to their coverage in terms of guests (Two people who got into a fight in front of the courthouse? Really, HLN?) and just what they choose to focus on in general.

Who has been whining about the toxic effects of meperidine being the root of this whole case?
*looking around* Yep, me. I bet the defense brings in the hair samples. The results obviously added nothing to the prosecution's case.
The talking heads at TMZ went on record saying Murray won't do a day in state prison. He's a non-violent offender with no criminal history. If he's successfully prosecuted and is given the max, that means 2 years in the LA County corrections system, and in all probability, home detention.
Doesn't matter who the victim is. If this is the way we are doing things in California right now, Murray deserves the exact same treatment as anyone else convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

If law enforcement officers stop you in DeSoto County and issue you a citation or place you under arrest, chances are good you will be required to appear at the DeSoto County courthouse located in Arcadia. Because most people have never been to court, appearing in front of a judge can be frightening. Even if you have been to court in the past, facing criminal charges is never a pleasant experience, especially when you are not familiar with court rules and procedures. You should always contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands the DeSoto court system to represent you in your case. Attorney Stephen G. Cobb has over 20 years of experienced assisting criminal defendants all over the state of Florida, so do not hesitate to call the Cobb Criminal Defense Law Firm today.
Potential penalties of criminal violations
The possible consequences set out by Florida law for criminal violations vary widely depending on the severity and nature of the offense, as well as other factors. One thing for certain, however, is that every type of offense does have penalties if you are convicted. Even a speeding ticket involves fines, points on your driver's license, and possibly more depending on the circumstances. The following are some common consequences of criminal convictions in Florida:
- Fines and court costs
- Probation
- Community service
- Points on your driver's license
- Suspension or revocation of your driver's license
- Mandatory substance abuse evaluation and/or treatment
- Time in jail
- Time in state prison
In addition, convictions for certain charges can often limit your employment opportunities and damage your personal reputation. Stephen G. Cobb has over two decades of experience handling criminal cases ranging from traffic infractions to serious felonies and works to help limit the penalties a client faces in every single case.

Scott Granneman looks at the virtues and pitfalls of browser fuzzing and the overwhelmingly positive impact it has on the security community.
Pockets of criminals already know about this stuff, so if Moore's actions finally embarrass the browser makers into fixing their problems, then we're all better off.
Weegee had the almost uncanny ability to appear on the scene just after - or just as - something dramatic, crazy, violent, or catastrophic happened, even before the police arrived (hence the name: Weegee as in "Ouija," like the board game). He'd hop out of his car, take the photos that brought him fame and cash, develop the film in his car's trunk slash darkroom, and then drive the fresh prints to the papers that bought his work: The Daily News, The Daily Mirror, and PM.
Weegee's photos still have an astonishing power today, well over half a century after they were taken. Murdered citizens and gangsters (this one's kinda graphic, so you've been warned), victims of fires and car accidents, folks sleeping on fire escapes to beat the sweltering heat, lovers kissing passionately while watching a 3D movie, overwhelming massess of humanity at Coney Island, an interesting mix of city dwellers on New Year's Eve, Harlem church-goers, bums. And criminals. Always criminals. Criminals in the paddy wagon, getting booked, parading into the station, and sitting in the pokey. For more Weegee, check out Naked City, Weegee's New York Photographs, 1935-1960, or Weegee's World. You won't be disappointed.
Weegee showed the world the New York of heat, sweat, crime, and death. His photos weren't always pretty, but they revealed the real city, and they told the truth. Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth - it's ugly, or it's unpleasant, or it damages the business interests of certain individuals. But that truth needs to be published, and people need to see it.
Which brings me to HD Moore and the Month of Browser Bugs Project. Moore is one of the brightest guys working in the security world right now, especially in the area of vulnerability research. He's responsible for the awesome Metasploit Project, an "advanced open-source exploit development platform ... for legal penetration testing and research purposes" that currently contains 143 exploits and 75 different payloads (for more on the Metasploit Framework, check out previous SecurityFocus articles of interest). After his interest was piqued by the work of others, Moore began creating his own fuzzers. A fuzzer basically sends randomized data to a program's inputs. If something weird happens - a crash, for example - then the fuzzer has done its job. Moore's fuzzers first looked for flaws in Internet Explorer's implementation of ActiveX (unsurprisingly, a rich source of bugs and issues). From there he spread out to a fuzzer that tests various browsers' methods for DHTML.
On July 2, Moore wrote the following in his blog:
Over the last few months, I have taken an interest in web browser security flaws. This interest has resulted in my collaboration on a few fuzzing tools ... The vendors have been notified and the time has come to start publishing the results. I will publish one new vulnerability each day during the month of July as part of the Month of Browser Bugs project. This information is being published to create awareness about the types of bugs that plague modern browsers and to demonstrate the techniques I used to discover them.As of this writing, Moore is up to number 22 in his list of bugs, with several to come. The majority (19 out of 22) are found in the "known to be armed and dangerous" Internet Explorer 6; most exist on a fully patched Windows XP Service Pack 2 box, but a couple can be found on a Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 machine, and a few even require the presence of Office 2003 or Outlook. One bug each can be found on Firefox 220.127.116.11 on Linux (it's been fixed in 220.127.116.11, however), Safari on Mac OS X 10.4.7, and Konqueror 3.5.1 on Linux. None for Opera 9 have been found so far, so if you're looking for a browser that appears to withstand fuzz testing, that may be the one.
Moore warned the browser makers about the bugs he had found, so why the Month of Browser Bugs project? Because the response of several vendors seemed too slow to him. By publicly releasing information about the bugs he has found, Moore hopes to create public awareness, certainly, but also undoubtedly the result would shame Microsoft (mostly) and Apple and KDE (a little) into fixing their problems.
Microsoft doesn't like what Moore is doing, that much is certain. The company criticized Moore's apparent failure to engage in what the company calls a "responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities." I would imagine that Apple isn't too happy either, given the hyper-paranoid atmosphere of that company. As for KDE, like most open source projects, I have the feeling that the developers pretty much said, "Another bug? OK, let's roll up our sleeves and fix it!"
What are we to make of Moore's Month of Browser Bugs? Is he a thoughtless miscreant, exposing flaws to the world that can now be used by bad guys while failing to give the software makers enough time to fix their mistakes? Should we pilory him for exposing too much dirty laundry, and castigate him for irresponsible behavior by a so-called security professional?
Not in my book.
Moore deserves praise from the security community for helping educate us about fuzzers and their applicability to the world of web browsers. The problems he's detailing will hopefully aid more security people, IT managers, and even users to realize that it's long past time to dump Internet Explorer for something safer and more reasonably coded, maintained, and updated.
In addition, the fact that security issues have gotten so rampant and out of control paradoxically mandates just the actions that Moore is taking. We've all been patient for far too long. The neverending flood of security issues that we've seen over the last few years - a deluge that shows no signs of abatement - has long since passed the scary stage, sailed right on by the anger phase, and is now approaching grotesque farce. How are we supposed to take Microsoft's claims that it "has made fuzzing part of its Software Development Lifecycle and runs the tools, not just against browsers, but its other software as well"? As what? A sick joke? If the company - which just posted sales of $11.8 billion for the last quarter, up more than $1.5 billion from last year - is using fuzzers against IE, then why is HD Moore consistently finding flaws in that same software using those same tools? Give me a break.
And if you think that the bad guys were clueless about these vulnerabilities until Moore started publicizing them, well, you sadly underestimate the intelligence and work ethic of the black hats out there. Moore himself reports that he's already received an email from someone in Russia complaining that he revealed a hole that the Russian cracker had been exploiting. Pockets of criminals already know about this stuff, so if Moore's actions finally embarrass the browser makers into fixing their problems, then we're all better off.
If Microsoft (and Apple and KDE and the Mozilla Project too ... but mostly Microsoft) can't get its act together enough to find these flaws using free and open source tools, then I say to Moore, more power to you. Moore is our modern Weegee for the age of software flaws, using the tools of immediate publishing on the Web to reveal to the world the truth about security in modern web browsers. That truth sure is ugly and unpleasant at times, and it certainly damages the business interests of companies (who perhaps deserve to have their business interests damaged), but the world needs to hear it. Weegee used to tell people to "Credit Photo by Weegee the Famous." Maybe it's time to start labeling vulnerabilities the same way: "Credit Hole by HD Moore the Famous." He deserves it.

He writes:
My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. I've worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fate's distribution of long straws is wildly capricious.If you haven't read the op-ed yet, do. It's probably the best rationale for philanthropy and giving back that I have read. As I continue on in the nonprofit sector towards the broader goal of social change, I think it's important to take a step back and think about why I am doing what I am doing—why we are doing what we are doing.
To steal from Buffett's imagery, I am motivated by fate's capricious nature. I agree that our market system is generally the best way to serve the most, but it does produce distorted results. Market failures allow some to come out far ahead of others for no real substantial reasons. Philanthropy helps repair those failures and allows the system to run as smoothly as possible.
Some people (meaning, me) would say that philanthropy is the most important part of a true capitalist society. Funding social service organizations helps mitigate the inherent flaws in our system while still working within that system. It attempts to make capitalism function as perfectly as possible to leave no one behind.
Some people (meaning, not me) have argued against the Giving Pledge, saying that it is undemocratic or it will cost the government too much money in foregone taxes and ultimately stifle social services. I think these arguments are silly and do not recognize that nonprofits are probably some of the most adaptable and responsive organizations working to improve the lives of people in this country and others. But I also think these detractors from the Giving Pledge—and probably some cosigners on the pledge themselves—miss an important point about what they are talking about.
As I see it, the Pledge—and to extend it out a little further, all of philanthropy—is about social change, righting wrongs, dealing with market efficiencies, a redistribution of wealth, whatever jargon and talking points you want to use. But what is important to remember is that there is no set way to accomplish these end goals. There is no unification of approach or strategy on how to get where we need to go. There isn't even an agreement on if philanthropy is the best way to accomplish sweeping social change, as the rise of corporate social responsibility and for-profit social enterprises have shown. If you spend a little time exploring the nonprofit conference circuit (which I just recently have started to do), you'll see that there's a lot going on and a lot of disagreement.
So, I'd like to use this blog's space in the ether from now on to explore those disagreements and those changes as I explore them myself. I am young, if you did not know that already, and I have a lot of exploring to do. I would love to know more about your explorations and I would be honored if you listened to mine.
I hope that, through these documentations, the approaches and strategies to that end goal—managing fate—can become a little clearer.

Forum Post: Utilities try to help restore power but are turned away.
Posted 7 years ago on Nov. 13, 2012, 1:21 p.m. EST by SingleVoice
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Crews from Alabama were insulted, called scabs and scumbags and turned away when they showed up to help restore power in New York and New Jersey. It's sad when you have to be a union worker to help fellow citizens with their basic needs. What is wrong with the people there that would deny their neighbors help because of their intolerance. Typical crap from "so-called" compassionate people.
Crews from Georgia were also turned away. A man from Florida received a black eye in the confrontation that resulted from them showing up to help with utility lines. People in the South help their neighbors...of course they have been thru many of these storms before and know that they can count on fellow citizens in other states for help. It's sad when union workers deny help from right to work states. How is that fair to the people suffering from the wrath of this storm. People have been quiet about this as well as the media. Maybe the public in NY & NJ need to know what has been going on.

Jeff Banister now has his first staff in place as the new manager of the Texas Rangers, as the former Pirates bench coach has hired Tony Beasley to be the Rangers' new third-base coach. Beasley played and coached with Banister in the Pirates' organization and is a guy he's familiar and comfortable being around.
Beasley will replace Gary Pettis, who left to take a job in Houston after the Rangers' coaching staff was told it could look for other jobs following the resignation of Ron Washington in September.
Gerry Fraley of The Dallas Morning News reported the Rangers also considered former Houston coach Pat Listach and Toronto minor-league manager Bobby Meacham for the job.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Beasley has managed in the Nationals' minor-league system recently, from 2011-2013, and was the team's field coordinator in 2014. Pettis also served as the Rangers' outfield coach, and you'd think Beasley would slide into that roll, as well.

Hi All,
I have a really serious problem with outlook and I'm out of my wits and can't seem to fix it. Please read the entire post carefully before posting any suggestions or jumping to conclusions.
The problem is that for one of my pop3 accounts, outgoing mails stopped working one fine day and gave the error message:
Sending reported error(0x800CCC78): 'Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded:550 206.91.xxx.xxx is blacklisted.'
Now, my pop server that I'm connecting to requires SMTP authentication, else the server will return the above message error 550. Here is what I've tried:
- The same account works fine with Mozilla Thunderbird and outgoing is just fine.
- I've tried deleting and recreating the account in outlook
- Upgraded Outlook2003 to SP3
- Tried switches like outlook.exe /cleanprofile
After a lot of troubleshooting, I decided to use a packet analyzer to see what the problem is. Here is what I found:
Outlook is simply failing to logon to SMTP server before attempting to send a mail using RCPT command although the option to logon to SMTP server with same settings as incoming server is checked. While Thunderbird is using the AUTH PLAIN login command and is able to successfully authenticate on the SMTP server, outlook is simply failing to send the AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN command.
I've checked the registry keys and even there the SMTP server login key is set to 1. Disabling it and re-enabling also doesn't help. I've tried recreating the account several times in outlook and it still fails to send the AUTH command to logon to SMTP server before attempting to send an email.
My question here is, is there a way I could completely remove the account from Outlook cache or some place where outlook treats this as a new account. I have other accounts in Outlook for which the SMTP logon before sending mail is happening just fine. It is a problem in outlook with just this 1 account. I suspect a cache of the account settings stored somewhere is being repeatedly used.
I've done flushdns to make sure that the computer is not sticking to the same outgoing server name/ip
Somebody please help!!

Dr. Beck practices a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgery, but his interests are in dental implants, pathology, and bone grafting. He keeps up to date with the latest technology in the field of dentistry and surgery, bringing world-class care to patients throughout Central Texas.Learn More
I had to get a tooth pulled and the staff and the doctor are the best in town. They even called to check on me later in the day after the surgery and sent a card to say thank you and hope you are good. Great Costumer care, No Pain and Affordable.
Have used Dr Beck and his team twice, once years ago for extractions and then just recently for dental implants. Would highly recommend this team to anyone who wants a great dental experience. Very professional and nice people.
I totally love Dr Beck and his team. I'm a 53yr old baby when it comes to having dental work sone and they made me feel so relaxed. I didn't feel anything during my procedure. They checked on me with a phone call once I was home. I will definitely recommend him to anyone.
I had my wisdom teeth removed. He was great at explaining what would happen, and reassuring me nothing would go wrong. He even helped me getting over the fear of the IV. It was really surprising when he called that evening to see how I was doing. His staff was great and they sent a get well card. I'd recommend him anytime.
I had a tooth pulled and my Son had all 4 of his wisdom teeth pulled. The Doctor Beck and Staff were Awesome!!!!
Dr. Beck and Staff, I want to thank you for the excellent care I received yesterday. It was a last minute appointment as I had broken a tooth. It being December and my busiest time of the year I had to get it taken care of before my event filled weekend. They took care of me immediately and I couldn't have been happier with the services. Mayela you were wonderful and so reassuring. Dr. Beck called me in the evening to check on me which was above and beyond. I pride my business on service, Dr. Beck has done the same. Thank you again.
Used to have a little phobia of dentists when I was a kid, Dr. Beck has changed my mind completely about dentists. He and his staff are so incredibly kind and patient. They explained my surgery in great detail and made sure I understood everything. Dr. Beck even went so far as to call me from his personal cell phone, hours later to make sure I was doing okay. Not one single complaint from this guy; Dr. Beck, you have my business for life.
I recently had some teeth removed by Dr. Beck. I was apprehensive, but my questions were answered in the first pre-surgical visit. Everyone in Dr. Beck's office is very polite, very professional and highly skilled. Post-op I was placed into my wife's passenger seat by a team member, very nice. I also got a follow-up call from Dr. Beck later that afternoon. I would highly recommend Dr. Beck and his staff. It worked out exactly as I expected. Thanks, Dr. Beck!
It was a long and painful process before being referred to Dr. Beck but he was able to see me on very short notice. After my tooth extraction and bone graft, I received a call later that day from Dr. Beck himself to make sure I was doing okay. He and his staff are amazing, I couldn't have asked for better care. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Beck and, should the need arise beyond my current treatment, I won't hesitate going back!
I just had surgery and I have to say the staff was very nice, made sure I was relaxed with no worries because I very nervous as the surgery I had done was a major one…Love this office and staff Dr. Beck was awesome, after care, hands on, follow up…love love. Made me feel the care that this office has for their patients. Great Job Dr. Beck and Staff.
Had a tooth extracted, they were very thorough, the customer service is outstanding and I would definitely recommend them. Nursing staff was kind and friendly. The extraction was done before it even started it felt. Left with no pain and a smile. The courtesy call is great and shows they care about each of there patients.
Everyone was so friendly. The building looked great. Their technology was impressive. My son's oral surgery was scheduled within the week. It went very smoothly. They even sent a get well soon card. I couldn't have had a better experience.
This is the best place to go if you have any fears or worries about needing a surgeon. Got my teeth pulled out on 26th of March. Dr. Jason Beck is really awesome and kind. His nurses were so kind and professional that I didn't have any nervousness about it, they were terrific. Dr. Beck has the most gracious bedside manner even called me that night himself this is the most honest 5-star rating I can give to anyone.

Peebee: The Museum Trip | Allies and Relationships Mass Effect: Andromeda Guide
How to unlock: Receive an e-mail from Peebee [Tempest].
Here you can find the guide for Peebee: The Museum Trip quest. This is one of the side quests in Mass Effect: Andromeda game that belongs to the category called "Allies and relationships". This quest is connected with Peebee and you get it automatically after you return from a city on planet Aya (after you unlock the access to the entire planet by making progress in the main storyline). In this quest you must visit the titular museum on Aya. The most important part is the last one because during it you must decide whether you want to have a serious relationship with Peebee or not.
Unlocking the quest
After making enough progress in A Trail of Hope main quest and unlocking the full access to planet Aya (you can do this by saving Moshae Sjefa) return on Tempest. You should receive an e-mail from Peebee. Read it and you learn that she wants to meet you in the museum.
Speak with Peebee in the museum on Aya
Go back on Aya and head to the history museum where you find a completely drunk Peebee. Speak with her.
Despite the "official" ending of the quest, you must now make the most important decision about your relation with Peebee. When you go back on Tempest you can visit Peebee in rescue pod and have some fun with her in zero gravity. During this scene you can decide whether you want to simply spend some time with her or start a serious relationship with her (warning - this choice blocks the possibility of being in relationship with other characters that you were already flirting with!). If you want to choose the second option then you should select the dialog option presented in the picture above.
Rewards for finishing the quest: XP.

a. The Headquarters Chief Information Officer (CIO) or designee shall: (1) Authorize the issuance of all centrally-funded IT resources and ensure that NASA Headquarters (HQ) employees and onsite contractors have the required IT resources to permit accomplishment of their organizational responsibilities and ultimately their mission goals. (2) Fund, manage, and distribute all centrally-funded IT resources at NASA Headquarters. See attachment A for IT Resource Allocation Procedural Requirements. b. Mission Directorates and the Office of Education are responsible for funding their IT resources unless approved by the Executive Director for Headquarters Operations.
Attachment A Centrally-Funded Organizations Standard IT resources are generally funded for all Headquarters Administrator Staff Offices and Mission Support organizations. Mission Directorates and the Office of Education generally fund their own IT resources. Standard IT Equipment Assigned to Individuals Every HQ employee receives the basic equipment required to perform the fundamental duties of his/her position. Each user shall be provided IT resources as follows: 1. Computer and associated peripherals including: monitor, mouse, docking station (for laptops), and keyboard with Agency approved software. Computers are refreshed on a 36-month cycle. 2. Desktop telephone. 3. Network access to both monochrome and color printers - access will be provided within a reasonable distance (usually within 60 feet) for group use as a primary printing device. 4. Access to a network Multi-Function Device - access will be provided within a reasonable distance for group use for photocopying, faxing, scanning and secure printing. 5. In addition to the resources allocated above, individuals in the following positions will be issued a PDA with cell phone capability, refreshed every 18-months: (a) Office's Associate or Assistant Administrator (AA) or equivalent (b) Deputy AA or equivalent (c) Division Director within the office (as designated by the office AA) (d) Key Emergency Management personnel (as designated by the Branch Chief, Emergency Management and Administrative Branch, Facilities and Administrative Services Division) Requests to provide multiple telephone related devices to a single individual, including PDA, calling card, or cell phone, must follow the "increased allocation request" processes identified below. Standard IT Equipment Assigned to Offices To provide for office printing, scanning, copying, and fax requirements, network printers and multifunction devices are allocated throughout the building per the following: 1. Multifunction devices (MFD) - devices with print, scan, copy and fax capabilities are strategically placed on each floor to ensure accessibility by all floor occupants. 2. Printers - strategically placed on each floor to ensure accessibility by all floor occupants. 3. Fax - Stand-alone fax devices are not funded as part of the standard allocation. Requests for these devices are processed using the "Increased allocation requests" procedure outlined below. Increased Allocation Requests To address customer needs beyond the standard allocations outlined in this policy, customers may request additional IT resources. The head of a Headquarters Office may request additional centrally-funded IT resources for their employees (each specifically identified by name) or organization by submitting written justification to the HQ Chief Information Officer (CIO) or designee. Written justification must be supported with a detailed description associated with a specific mission-related task or a critical assignment as well as duration. The HQ CIO will determine whether the issuance of additional IT resources is warranted and funds are available. If the request is approved, the Information Technology and Communications Division (ITCD) will then issue the equipment. Types of requests include: 1. Additional devices for the organization - one or more resources designated for shared or "go-to" use within the office may be requested. 2. Additional devices for the individual - multiple devices for a single user or a user not authorized under this policy. This includes the issuance of a second computer such as a Mac for a PC user, or a cell phone for an individual with a PDA (that has a phone). Personal printers are available; however, a security-related justification must be submitted to ITCD for approval. 3. IT hardware Upgrades - this includes centrally funded higher end equipment, including larger monitors. 4. Unsupported IT hardware - new or specialty equipment or software not currently available. Increased Allocation Request Criteria The following criteria will be used by the HQ CIO when evaluating a request for additional allocation of centrally-funded equipment beyond the scope of the IT Resource Allocation Policy. NOTE: Approvals will be dependent upon the availability of funding. 1. Safety: Does the request address a direct safety concern relative to the mission of NASA HQ? 2. Mission Critical Requirement: Does the request define a mission critical requirement that cannot be met without the use of the services provisioned through requested equipment? Example: Individual must respond to launch-related emergencies. 3. Position Responsibilities: Does the role and responsibilities of the individual requesting the equipment sufficiently justify the additional need? Example: Individual must respond to events within specific time frames that cannot be met without the services provided through a PDA. 4. Reasonable Accommodations: Does the request define a medical or other need for additional IT equipment as documented by an approved EEO reasonable accommodation request? Is a reasonable accommodation request on file with the HQ Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management Division? (See NPR 3713.1A, Procedures for Providing Reasonable Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities.) 5. Other Funds - Are there other fund sources available to fulfill the request? Customers will be notified of the status of their increased allocation request within 2 weeks of submission. Other Alternatives 1. Loaner Pool Program: The Loaner Pool Program provides equipment on a first-come first- serve basis to satisfy short-term IT requirements for employees on travel, or those with other short-term needs. The loans typically do not exceed two weeks. In some cases a request in excess of two weeks may be approved. Loaner Pool requests are processed via a call to the IT Help Desk at 358-HELP (4357) on a first-come first-serve basis. An employee who wishes to borrow Loaner Pool equipment must sign a Loan Agreement that includes the borrower's name, checkout date, planned return date, and other pertinent information. A copy of the Loan Agreement is available from the Loaner Pool Program Manager. For a current list of IT hardware available through the loaner pool, please visit the ITCD web site at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/itcd/loaner.html. 2. User Resource Center: The User Resource Center (URC) is a walk-in technology lab configured with a variety of Macintosh and Windows workstation configurations. The URC is located at CX42. The hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Available services include: - Scanning workstation - File conversions - Above core applications such as Photoshop, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio, etc. - Compact disk library capabilities - Archiving data to a CD Rom - Limited color printing capabilities Staff members are available to assist users as needed in providing real time technical advice, end user support, troubleshooting/consultation services, and problem resolution. Use of specialized equipment may require scheduling based on demand. The General Information Line is 358- 0650. 3. Organizational Funds: Organizations may provide their own funds for IT resources if central funding is not available or if their requirement does not meet the increased allocation request criteria.

Business is really about two things: knowledge and behavior. This may sound strange, but when you think about it, a business cannot exist without pertinent knowledge and behaviors that generate desired results.
So what's essential to the success of any company?... a conscious determination of what knowledge and behaviors are absolutely necessary (critical success factors) from each contributor for that particular business to be successful. The behavior piece can be defined in two parts: skills and competencies.
A skill (the capability to do something well) is usually framed and needed in the context of a job description. Example: someone who has the technical knowledge to create a blueprint of a house.
A competency relates to qualities and capabilities beyond the job description…the make-up of the person in the job (e.g. characteristics/traits, attitudes, beliefs, values, motives, character, emotional maturity, relational effectiveness) and how those elements influence how a job is done. Example: a customer service employee who is has the emotional maturity to be self-controlled when dealing with a challenging service call.
The examples above are representative of a skill and a competency. As an effective manager you need to know both, how to distinguish between the two and how to determine them for your role and the roles you are responsible for managing.
Also two additional items of note:
1. Each element (skill and competency) both contribute to the profitability of a company.
2. You'll rarely find competencies, such as emotional maturity, on a job description.
One can see that in order for a business to stay competitive and profitable three critical assessments need to be made:
1. A determination of those behaviors needed for the success of the business.
2. A determination of where contributors are in possessing those needed behaviors.
3. A plan to close the gap where needed -
a. via training and coaching
b. replacing a contributor with someone who is a better fit.
So the question would be what are the competencies needed in your particular role and that of each of your team members?
Remember, a competency is the way in which the job is done…the qualities of the person who is doing the job.
Action: Make a list of competencies or qualities that are needed for you to do your job successfully.
Then do so for the roles of those you manage.
Next, determine the gaps and incorporate those in your coaching and performance management plan.
This will go a long way in helping to increase the performance of your team and thereby increasing the profitability of you company.
