Check out our mission statement and our disclaimer
For as long as I can remember, my mother has always called me a dreamer, and somewhere in my heart I've always known I was going to change the world. Some people think I'm crazy and even more just watch me as I fall over and over again. But I'm still here, and I will NEVER give up and I will NEVER back down. I am a big hearted woman, a survivor with an attitude, an indescribable need to help and a head just hot enough to get it done. So to let you know what I'm doing, I created my mission statement. And to warn you about some things, I've created my disclaimer...
April 2011. My husband went to a show at THE BLACK SHEEP CAFÉ, something I was too tired to even think about attending. When he got there he met this guy who was getting ready to take part in the show by doing something called "spoken word" where he got up and used the microphone to spread his message. Ross ran back home and told me get dressed, you're coming if you want to or not. So reluctantly, and whining all the way, I went. DAN LOZZI is his name and his program is called THE OUTLOOK. I was so touched and so inspired that after the show I went to talk to him. Not only did he take the time to talk to me, but he then came to our home and let me share with him my story. His advice… Use your voice as a weapon. So No More Victims 2 was born. Click here to see what we are about
Want to see who exactly you will be helping?
Read the stories of these brave people who not only have been thru their own personal hell, but came out on the other side because of the help of others. Learn how they went from victim to survivor and how by simply sharing your story, you could save someone's life.
If you are looking for help, i hope to be able to help you find it here. If you have help to offer, anywhere in the continental united states (for now), we will list it here free of charge.

There are so many groups and organizations out there doing their own thing in an attempt to change the world. As indiviiduals they may ruffle some feathers here and there, but if we can come together in one large united voice maybe we can move past just ruffling feathers, start opening eyes and minds and start creating the changes needed to make this a world worth living in.

What are the normative foundations of competition law? That is the question at the heart of this book. Leading scholars consider whether this branch of law serves just one or more than one goal, and if it serves to protect unfettered competition as such, how this goal relates to other objectives such as the promotion of economic welfare. The book brings together contributions on the relevance of different welfare standards, on the concept of 'freedom to compete' and on distributional fairness as a goal of competition law. Moreover, it discusses the relationship to other legal goals such as market integration. Finally, the specific issue of competition law goals in emerging economies is addressed. The Goals of Competition Law will have strong appeal to academics in competition law and competition economics; policy-makers, enforcers and other practitioners in the field of competition law; postgraduate students in competition law and competition economics.
More books by Daniel Zimmer
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
In this work of reference the editor, Daniel Zimmer, brings together a truly international collection of 26 learned articles from leading academics and lawyers in the field of completion law and competition economics.
The expert contributors hail from a range of universities worldwide, from Harvard University and Yale Law School to Laval University in Canada, the University of Haifa, the Max Planck Institute in Germany, Mejii University in Tokyo and, interestingly, the American Antitrust Institute in the United States.
These, of course. are only a few examples of the wide range of opinion and comment contained in this book on matters pertaining to competition law. Daniel Zimmer, the editor, is a Professor of Law from the University of Bonn and Member of the German Monopolies Commission.
It was Zimmer who organized the ASCOLA conference at the University of Bonn in 2010 at which this selection of papers was presented. (For ASCOLA read Academic Society for Competition Law).
Significantly, we're perusing this book just after 'Europe Day' May 9th which commemorates a now little known and seldom remarked upon event in the development of the European Community as a group of nations dedicated to – basically – fair trade.
We refer to the Schumann Declaration launched some 60 years ago by the same Robert Schumann who was instrumental in founding the European Coal and Steel Community, from which the European Economic Community evolved and which in turn led to the advent of the present European Union (EU).
The original aim of the EEC, one must recall, centered on establishing equal rights in the competition for trade. This means that trading nations and individual traders should each have a fair crack of the whip when selling things – the basis of any market economy.
The lessons we are learning and have learnt in Europe over the past few decades will no doubt impact upon and influence many an emerging economy in the wider global context.
This book, based on the ASCOLA conference (chaired by Louis Kaplow of Harvard University) poses a number of questions relating to completion and specifically, competition law, two of which centre on the concept of 'freedom to compete' and on distributional fairness as a goal of competition law.
Particularly interesting is the final article by the editor which asks -- to cite just one example -- whether or not 'competition' means 'efficiency'. This, of course, is debatable and all the more interesting for that.
Published recently by Edward Elgar, this book, with its economics-based approach and international orientation, will certainly interest academic lawyers, graduate students and indeed policy makers whose decisions may affect the economic welfare of whole regions. With detailed footnotes and index, the compilation is also especially useful as a gateway to further research.

The New England Patriots have the best core special-teamer in the NFL in wide receiver Matthew Slater, and that's why he's guaranteed the sixth (or seventh) spot at receiver. Beyond excellent coverage work, Slater is a team captain and one of the biggest leaders on this team. All it takes is a glance at one of his quotes or a quick look at this play to see why Bill Belichick loves him. At his very core, Slater is a "Do your job" player; I mean, he is a core special teamer.
Belichick said, via WEEI, "Matt is one of the best in the league. I think he has a lot of the qualities that we were talking about. Sure, any time they have to double somebody, that makes it one less guy they can use somewhere else in the return. He almost always draws two guys out there unless they're in an eight-man rush.
"Most of the time there's two guys out there – fourth-and-short, where they're trying to protect the box – but he draws a lot of double teams and deservedly so. He does an outstanding job of covering punts and as I said, it's a tough position to play but he's got all the qualities that we talked about to be good. He does a good job for us."
Slater is fast, strong, and smart, and those are traits that Belichick said are important for what Slater has to do on special teams. Belichick also added that Slater's aggressiveness is key, and it's easy to forget the underrated role that a guy like Slater plays. Field position is an important part of this game, and the Patriots are able to suffocate an opponent's field position with some of the best kick return coverage in the NFL (the best, if you ask me). Now that the Patriots have Leon Washington in the fold as an excellent return man, the Patriots are well on their way to creating a big imbalance in field position.

Account Recovery Fail
by adam on March 19, 2014
"Please note that your password will be stored in clear text in our database which will allow us to send it back to you in case you lost it. Try avoid using the same password as accounts you may have in other systems." — a security conference's speaker website
This is a silly pattern. At least these folks realize it's a bad idea, and warn the person, but that's the wrong approach, since it relies on people reading text, and then relies on them being willing to make up and recall yet another password.
The origin of this problem is a broken model of what people want from their online accounts. As I discuss in chapter 14 of Threat Modeling: Designing for Security, the right goal is almost always account recovery, not password recovery. It's irksome to see a security conference get this so wrong.
To be fair, the person who selected the conference management system was likely not a security expert, and had other functional goals on which they were focused. It would be easier to be annoyed if someone had a comprehensive and precise list of security problems which they could look for. But while we're being fair, this isn't like a XSS or SQLi issue which require some skill to discover. It's right there in the primary workflow.
Threat Modeling and Operations
by adam on February 21, 2014
One very important question that's frequently asked is "what about threat modeling for operations?" I wanted to ensure that Threat Modeling: Designing for Security focused on both development and operations. To do that, I got help from Russ McRee. For those who don't know Russ, he's a SANS incident handler as well as a collegue at Microsoft, where he
beat me about the head and shoulders made the case for the importance of threat modeling for operations. Those conversations led to me helping out on the "IT Infrastructure Threat Modeling Guide."
Russ had an official role as "Technical Proofreader," but that understates what he did. What he did was make sure that infrastructure and operations got a full and fair treatment, and the book is better for his help.
There's an important interplay between threat modeling for developers and threat modeling for operations. The threats are the same, but the mitigations are functionally different. There are mitigations which are easy for developers which are hard or impossible for the operations, and vice versa. The simplest example is logging. It's really hard to add logging without changing the source. But reading the logs? There's no way for a developer to ensure that that happens. Someone in operations has to decide what logs are important and relevant. Good threat modeling can elicit the threats, and lead to the early creation of a security operations guide, making explicit who needs to do what.
(I don't mean to ignore the rise of devops, but even in that world, it can help to think of different types of mitigations.)
My Technical Editor: Chris Wysopal
by adam on February 20, 2014
When Wiley asked me about a technical editor for Threat Modeling: Designing for Security, I had a long list of requirements. I wanted someone who could consider the various scenarios where threat modeling is important, including software development and operations. I wanted someone who understood the topic deeply, and had the experience of teaching threat modeling to those whose focus isn't security.
More, I wanted someone who I respected for their depth of experience, where I wouldn't be tempted to ignore comments which were tough to address or required me to rewrite a chapter late in the process.
And Chris Wysopal was the perfect guy for that. His background includes time at the L0pht, so he knows how to think like an attacker. While he was at @Stake, he delivered threat modeling as a consultant, and helped companies (including Microsoft) learn to threat model. And at his most venture, Veracode, he's bringing secure development technology and services to a wide range of companies.
So I'm thrilled that we were able to work together on this book.
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security
by adam on February 19, 2014
I am super-excited to announce that my new book, Threat Modeling: Designing for Security (Wiley, 2014) is now available wherever fine books are sold!
The official description:
If you're a software developer, systems manager, or security professional, this book will show you how to use threat modeling in the security development lifecycle and the overall software and systems design processes. Author and security expert Adam Shostack puts his considerable expertise to work in this book that, unlike any other, details the process of building improved security into the design of software, computer services, and systems — from the very beginning.
- Find and fix security issues before they hurt you or your customers
- Learn to use practical and actionable tools, techniques, and approaches for software developers, IT professionals, and security enthusiasts
- Explore the nuances of software-centric threat modeling and discover its application to software and systems during the build phase and beyond
- Apply threat modeling to improve security when managing complex systems (or even simple ones!)
- Manage potential threats using a structured, methodical framework
- Discover and discern evolving security threats
- Use specific, actionable advice regardless of software type, operating system, or program approaches and techniques validated and proven to be effective at Microsoft and other top IT companies
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security is full of actionable, tested advice for software developers, systems architects and managers, and security professionals. From the very first chapter, it teaches the reader how to threat model. That is, how to use models to predict and prevent problems, even before you've started coding.
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security is jargon-free, accessible, and provides proven frameworks that are designed to integrate into real projects that need to ship on tight schedules.
For more information, I've set up a small book website: threatmodelingbook.com.
Amazon has Kindle edition, and is saying that the paperback will ship in "9-11 days." I believe that's startup issues in getting the books to and through the warehousing system, but don't know details. I will be having a book signing at RSA, Wednesday at 11 AM in Moscone South. (iCal reminder.)
Future blogging
In light of me already spending time on what to put on which blog, but more importantly, not wanting readers to have to subscribe to three blogs, I'll be blogging about threat modeling here on New School.
Adam's Mailing List and Commitment Devices
by adam on January 31, 2014
Yesterday, I announced that I've set up a mailing list. You may have noticed an unusual feature to the announcement: a public commitment to it being low volume, with a defined penalty ($1,000 to charity) for each time I break the rule.
You might even be wondering why I did that.
In the New School, we study people, and their motivations. Knowing that introspection is a fine place to start, a poor place to end and an excellent source of mis-direction, I talked to several people who seem like the sort I want on my list about their experience with mail lists.
The first thing I heard was fairly unanimous: people don't subscribe because they get spammed.
The perception is that many people who create lists like this abuse those lists. So to address that, I'm using a commitment device: a promise, made publicly in advance. By making that promise, I give myself a reason to hold back from over-mailing, and I give myself a way to constrain helping others with my list. (But not eliminate such help — perhaps that's a bad idea, and it should be just about those new things where I'm a creator. Would love your thoughts.)
The second issue I heard is that unsubscribing tends to feel like an interpersonal statement, rather than a technical one (such as "I get too much email.) So I promise not to be offended if you unsubscribe, and I promise to be grateful if you tell me why you unsubscribe. This is why I love Twitter: I control who I listen to. It's also why I think the "unfollow
unsubscribe bug" (real or imagined) was such a good thing. It provided a socially acceptable excuse for unfollows.
Are there other factors that hold you back from signing up for a mailing list like mine? Please let me know what they are, I'd love to address them if I can.

The Worst User Experience In Computer Security?
by adam on January 16, 2014
I'd like to nominate Xfinity's "walled garden" for the worst user experience in computer security.
For those not familiar, Xfinity has a "feature" called "Constant Guard" in which they monitor your internet for (I believe) DNS and IP connections for known botnet command and control services. When they think you have a bot, you see warnings, which are inserted into your web browsing via a MITM attack.
Recently, I was visiting family, and there was, shock of all shocks, an infected machine. So I pulled out my handy-dandy FixMeStick*, and let it do its thing. It found and removed a pile of cruft. And then I went to browse the web, and still saw the warnings that the computer was infected. This is the very definition of a wicked environment, one in which feedback makes it hard to understand what's happening. (A concept that Jay Jacobs has explicitly tied to infosec.)
So I manually removed Java, and spent time reading the long list of programs that start at boot (via Autoruns, which Xfinity links to if you can find the link), re-installed Firefox, and did a stack of other cleaning work. (Friends at browser makers: it would be nice if there was a way to forcibly remove plugins, rather than just disable them).
As someone who's spent a great deal of time understanding malware propagation methods, I was unable to decide if my work was effective. I was unable to determine the state of the machine, because I was getting contradictory signals.
My family (including someone who'd been a professional Windows systems administrator) had spent a lot of time trying to clean that machine and get it out of the walled garden. The tools Xfinity provided did not work. They did not clean the malware from the system. Worse, the feedback Xfinity themselves provided was unclear and ambiguous (in particular, the malware in question was never named, nor was the date of the last observation available). There was no way to ask for a new scan of the machine. That may make some narrow technical sense, given the nature of how they're doing detection, but that does not matter. The issue here is that a person of normal skill cannot follow their advice and clean the machine. Even a person with some skill may be unable to see if their work is effective. (I spent a good hour reading through what runs at startup via Autoruns).
I understand the goals of these walled garden programs. But the folks running them need to invest in talking to the people in the gardens, and understand why they're not getting out. There's good reasons for those failures, and we need to study the failures and address those reasons.
Until then, I'm interested in hearing if there's a worse user experience in computer security than being told your recently cleaned machine is still dirty.

Transparency: When Security Pros Get Popped
by David Mortman on January 7, 2014
Rich Mogul over at Securosis (N.B. I'm a contributing analyst there) has a great post on how, due to human error, some of his AWS credentials got nabbed by some miscreants and abused. We here at the New School love it when folks share how they were compromised and what they did about it. It is this sort of transparency that helps us all. Kudos to Rich for being willing to share his pain for our benefit.

The KPMG China CSR Report illustrates the interconnectedness of social and environmental issues and the business world, and explores how companies can lead change by integrating these issues into their strategies and operations.
Chinese new energy companies are "going out" to expand their presence in the global market. By investing overseas, these companies are expected to develop new energy portfolios in new markets, avoid trade barriers and transfer overcapacity.
This publication will help you to understand the best option for your business when transitioning to the new revenue standard.
Key messages
Chinese Customs rules can be complicated and companies may only become aware of the complexity of the rules after they are approached by Customs for potential violations.
China Customs has recently increased the rate of post-entry audits, mainly focusing on customs valuation, classification, and "Processing Trade."
Various duty savings opportunities may be granted but are subject to Customs' close supervision.

Focusing on Contact Lens Safety
Proper Care Required continued...
"Also, any lenses worn overnight increase your risk of infection," says Saviola.
"This is because contact lenses stress the cornea by reducing the amount of oxygen to the eye. They can also cause microscopic damage to the surface of the cornea, making it more susceptible to infection."
Never ignore symptoms of eye irritation or infection that may be associated with wearing contact lenses. The symptoms include discomfort, excess tearing or other discharge, unusual sensitivity to light, itching, burning, gritty feelings, unusual redness, blurred vision, swelling and pain.
If you experience any of these symptoms
- Remove your lenses immediately and keep them off.
- Get in touch with your eye care professional immediately.
- Keep the lenses. They may help your eye care professional determine the cause of your symptoms.
- Report serious eye problems associated with your lenses to the MedWatch reporting program at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm
Decorative Contact Lenses
Every year, the approach of Halloween heightens fears at FDA that consumers will harm their eyes with unapproved decorative contact lenses. These are lenses that some people use to temporarily change their eye color or to make their eyes look weird--perhaps giving them an "eye-of-the-tiger" look.
"Although unauthorized use of decorative contact lenses is a concern year-round, Halloween is the time when people may be inclined to use them, perhaps as costume accessories," says Saviola.
The problem is not that people use decorative, non-corrective lenses. It's that many go about it the wrong way, which is dangerous.
Prescription required
Just like their corrective counterparts, decorative contacts--sometimes called plano, zero-powered or non-corrective lenses--are regulated by FDA.
"What troubles us is when they are bought and used without a valid prescription, without the involvement of a qualified eye care professional, or without appropriate follow-up care," says Saviola. "This can lead to significant risks of eye injuries, including blindness."
FDA is aware that consumers without valid prescriptions have bought decorative contact lenses from beauty salons, record stores, video stores, flea markets, convenience stores, beach shops and the Internet.
Recent legislation has made it illegal to market decorative contact lenses as over-the-counter products.
Unauthorized contact lenses of all types present risks to the eye that include corneal ulcers, corneal abrasion, vision impairment, and blindness.
If you want decorative contacts
- Get an eye exam from a licensed eye care professional, even if you feel your vision is perfect.
- Get a valid prescription that includes the brand and lens dimensions.
- Buy the lenses from an eye care professional or from a vendor who requires that you provide prescription information for the lenses.
- Follow directions for cleaning, disinfecting, and wearing the lenses, and visit your eye care professional for follow-up eye exams.

… live from the Florida Keys with Matt Lauer and Al Roker. Photos courtesy NBC.

In addition to his duties with "Today," Roker is also to use Key West as a location to anchor a new early morning show for The Weather Channel on Tuesday, July 28. Beginning at 6 a.m. ET, "Wake Up With Al" is co-hosted by Stephanie Abrams and explores all aspects of the day's weather.

Man guilty in death of missing teenager
LOVINGSTON—A jury convicted a 48-year-old man Thursday on charges he abducted and killed a Nelson County teenager who disappeared last summer.
Randy Taylor was found guilty of first-degree murder in commission of an abduction and abduction with intent to defile, according to media reports.
Alexis Murphy's body has never been found. She was 17.
Jurors recommended a life sentence on both convictions. Sentencing was set for July 23.
Murphy disappeared last August. She was last seen at a gas station in Lovingston. Authorities found her car several days later in an Albemarle County parking lot.
After the verdict, Taylor's attorney asked if his client could be excused from the courtroom. Before Judge J. Michael Gamble could respond, Taylor dashed out, but was quickly surrounded by deputies, The News & Advance of Lynchburg reported.
Surveillance video from the gas station where Taylor was last seen on Aug. 3 showed Murphy's vehicle following Taylor's truck.
Prosecutor Anthony Martin said Taylor "lured" Murphy to his camper about a mile away, killed her in a violent struggle and disposed of the body. Martin did not provide a theory on why Taylor's body was never found.
Defense attorney Michael Hallahan argued there wasn't enough evidence for a conviction.
About 50 people, many Murphy family and friends dressed in pink clothes or wearing red ribbons, were in attendance in the courtroom.
Laura Murphy said pink was her daughter's favorite color.
After Murphy vanished, pink ribbons went up across Nelson County as a sign of hope that the teen would return home.
Jurors began their deliberations Thursday morning and announced their verdict by late afternoon.
Orange County authorities have said that Taylor has been a person of interest in the disappearance of another teen who remains missing.
For three years, Orange town and county officers have investigated the disappearance of Samantha Ann Clarke. The 19-year-old left her home in the town of Orange late Sept. 13, 2010, or early the next day, telling her brother, "I'll be back," an Orange prosecutor said.
Clarke hasn't been seen since then by her family.
In the hours before her disappearance, she was on the phone five or six times with Taylor, another Orange prosecutor said.
Taylor was ruled out as a suspect in what's known as the "Route 29 Stalker" case in Culpeper County because he was in a Virginia prison at the time of those incidents that culminated in the death of 25-year-old Alicia Showalter Reynolds.

Seattle Mariners starter Joe Saunders is still looking for his first victory over his first major-league club, although that's not entirely his fault.
He's enjoyed success against several of the Los Angeles Angels' stars, and has shut down Josh Hamilton this season after previously struggling in those matchups.
Hamilton, however, is heating up with four homers and 10 RBIs over his last six games for the visiting Angels heading into Friday night's opener against Saunders and the Mariners.
Saunders (7-8, 4.51 ERA), who pitched for the Angels from 2005-10, is 0-2 in two starts against them despite a 1.93 ERA.
"I've pitched well against them, just came up on the short end a couple times," Saunders told the Mariners' official website. "It was a couple 'hang-with-'em' starts. But that's OK. As long as I keep the team in the game, I'm doing my job."
Both previous outings were in Anaheim. He's 10-3 with a 2.80 ERA in 17 career starts at Safeco Field, although he is 1-3 with a 7.45 ERA in his last four there.
Saunders has yielded two earned runs over 13 2-3 innings in winning his first two July outings - both on the road.
The left-hander has held Albert Pujols hitless in eight at-bats and limited Mike Trout to a double in seven, while Hamilton is 4 for 13 with a homer against him.
Hamilton, however, is 0 for 3 against Saunders this year while hitting an AL-low .151 against lefties. The left fielder has put together a solid six-game stretch capped by his first multihomer effort with the Angels (44-46) in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
"I'm sort of just getting back to doing what you do and quit worrying about listening to everybody," said Hamilton, who drove in a season-high five runs. "Listen to the guys here I really care about, the coaches and the players, and go from there."
Pujols and Hamilton hit back-to-back homers for the first time as the Angels won their 11th in 14 games.
"Those are two guys who are critical to where we want to be," manager Mike Scioscia told the Angels' official website. "And to see those guys have such good nights in the same game - I hope we see more of it."
Trout is 11 for 25 during a seven-game hitting streak, and he's 17 for 37 with seven RBIs and seven runs scored against Seattle (40-52) this year, helping Los Angeles win six of 10.
Pujols has a team-high nine RBIs versus the Mariners. Alberto Callaspo is 11 for 22 in the season series and 4 for 12 off Saunders.
The Mariners dropped the final three games of a four-game home set with Boston after falling 8-7 in 10 innings Thursday.
Second baseman Nick Franklin missed the game with a sore right knee, but could return Friday.
Endy Chavez, 11 for 33 against the Angels, left in the bottom of the fourth inning with tightness in the right side of his groin.
Kyle Seager is 19 for 43 during an 11-game hitting streak, and 13 for 38 against the Angels in 2013.
Seattle has matched a franchise record by homering in 19 straight games, also doing so from Sept. 7-27, 1999.
The Angels will start Jerome Williams (5-4, 4.16), who is 0-2 with an 8.47 ERA over his last four outings and has failed to last past the fourth inning in the last two.
The right-hander is 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA in five career starts against the Mariners, pitching eight innings to earn a 12-0 victory May 21.

Kelly Ripa: Returning to All My Childrenby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Don't worry, morning talk show fans: Kelly Ripa won't be leaving Live with Regis and Kelly any time soon.
But the thin beauty and husband Marc Consuelos will make a pair of guest-starring performances on the drama on which they met, All My Children, to help celebrate its 40th anniversary.
Best known now for yapping with Regis Philbin each day, Ripa rose to fame as Hayley Vaughan on the soap opera, starring for over a decade until 2002; Consuelos played Mateo Santos for seven years.
The couple will appear on January 4 and 5, marking the first time back in Pine Valley for either one since they each left in 2002.
Ripa said her talk show will air behind-the-scenes footage of her return to All My Children next month. Regis ought to have many wisecracks to offer about that.
Kelly blocked me from following "Regis and Kelly " on twitter.. I did comment from time to time and say what was on my mind but nothing mean spirited but I am going to create a website on this subject and she will get the full Streisand effect !!! She can't take just one negative comment ? Now she will get a website devoted to her where people will discuss how much they dislike her !! She is really not worth the time it will take but I am curious to see what others think of her no talentness !!!
I can't wait to see them both on AMC again

The World According to Vogue
"When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more." —Carrie Bradshaw
I recently joined a new company and our team went to lunch yesterday at Soho House to get to know one another better. We all took turns making introductions, and, instead of firing out key bullet points, we started sharing mini personal stories of a defining moment that made us move to New York. For one girl, it was going into business with her father. For another, it was reading through the encyclopedia as a child. I was the last person to go.
I wasn't sure what to say exactly, but then it dawned on me: "An issue of Vogue was accidentally mailed to my house back in 1995."
I still remember that moment, clear as day. It was a beautiful summer day in Texas and my dad had freshly mown our lawn. The smell of freshly cut grass still gets to me today. I was sitting at the picnic table in our front yard, under the shade of the tree that my parents had planted when I was born. I was fourteen years old.
Dad walked down the driveway to check the mail and shuffled through the stack as he made his way back up. He stood in front of the picnic table and tossed a magazine to me, "Here, this one's for you."
"Dad!" I said, excitedly, looking down at the glossy cover, "Did we order this?!"
"I think it was sent here by mistake," he said, before disappearing into the house.
My knowledge of magazines before that was a smattering of Highlights for Kids, National Geographic, and Time. This, however, was fabulous. VOGUE, in all caps. A French word! It was the most sophisticated thing that I had encountered in my life thus far.
Kate Moss was wearing a minimalist pink satin shift dress by Calvin Klein with a pair of black pumps. It was her first Vogue cover. The saturated hue and luxuriousness of the Duchesse satin of the dress were foreign to me. I studied everything. The cut was so minimal, yet looked so… Expensive. I hadn't seen anything close at the mall.
I recall coming to a page with bold-faced names, like Donna Karan and Isaac Mizrahi. I had no clue about how to pronounce their names, but the one thing that stood out was where they went to school: Parsons School of Design. I dog-eared this page and later boldly underlined this part. I must find out more. That's where I need to be.
The issue featured Mod influences in fashion at the time. Kirsty Hume and Nikki Taylor were shot in an editorial together, wearing skinny black turtlenecks, string bikini bottoms, and kerchiefs on their head. Their eyes were defined with bold strokes of black kohl eyeliner and their lips were perfectly nude. I rushed into my mother's vanity and experimented by dabbing her concealer on my lips. I gasped. It looked so modern. That magazine was my treasure. It unlocked a world that I could never even have imagined.
I daydreamed about going to Parsons until I was a junior in high school. When I met with my guidance counselor and told her that it was the only school I wanted to apply to, she scoffed at me. "That's not very realistic," she said, "I would recommend that you attend the community college here for two years and then transfer to the University of Texas, which has a fashion program. Or you could also look into applying to the Art Institute of Houston." Was it that absurd of me to want to go to Parsons? It infuriated me and only made me more determined.
My cousin and her then-husband took me to New York for a weekend that spring so that we could visit the school. It was my first time on a plane. We shared a tiny room at the Holiday Inn in Times Square. The next day, we toured Parsons and sat through orientation, where they spoke about the rigorous program, the expectations, and how being smack-dab in New York City offers a dynamic energy not found in traditional university campuses. I didn't want to go back home!
I applied and wrote an essay about Ralph Lauren's advertising campaign for their new fragrance Romance. When my acceptance letter arrived in the mail, I stared at it everyday. I didn't know how I would get there or how I would pay for it, but I was in. My family scrounged up money for airfare and my mother gave me a check for $1,500. I got on that plane not knowing with no idea what my life would become once I got off.
The cab stopped in front of the dormitory building on East 12th Street, near Third Avenue. Everyone else was surrounded by their parents and family. It was bustling with swarms of people. I stepped out of the cab with an overstuffed duffel bag and a huge, heavy cardboard box. Deep breath. Here I go.

Somewhat. As More Fiber stated, Verizon's only finishing up roll-outs in places where they have agreements and an incomplete network. Otherwise, no new areas for the time being are getting it.
Depends on who issued your clearance.
Re: The build-out I alluded to previously....I did not want to be specific until there was actual work underway; in fear it might jinx something...But there is now much glass in the ground and overhead, so I doubt Ma's stepchild could/would pull out now.It's an area of Prince Georges County MD.

« Phillies vs. Braves: Series open thread | Main | Philadelphia Phillies open thread »
Phillibuster, those are listed as synonyms, so it seems a minor distinction.
I know that Utley has determined that regular play is better for his knees, but he seems like someone who could use a break. I kinda wish he weren't winning the All-Star voting. (Is that still going on?)
Ehh... I tend to think they're "synonymous" because of usage more than original intent.
Fan, being a shortening of fanatic, indicates significantly more emotional investment (at the expense of reason, sometimes) to me. An enthusiast is someone who enjoys something, and studies up on it, but is less invested.
Lose 1st game of 4 game home set with Miami... OMG BLOW IT UP THEY SUCK THIS SEASON IS OVER THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT
Posted by: Cyclic | Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 08:05 PM
Fickle sheep regurgitating the crap they inhaled from the asinine sports writers.
Then there are the psuedo GMs who populate the blogosphere with their idiotic platitudes about "whats best for the Phillies" (which according to them is losing) and pompous rants about how only they can see "the writing on the wall".
Did I just see Papelbon reading trivia cards in the bullpen?
Phillibuster, OK, I get that, but I would have sad that the fan was the one more likely to react emotionally to games than an enthusiast. Or perhaps I simply misunderstood your original comment.
At any rate, fickle to me is someone who only likes the team when they're doing well and loses interest when they aren't.
"I feel like that's the difference between the fan and the enthusiast."
Putting the d back in d-bag.
It's always good to see Howard get an XBH.
Insurance runs!
Trade Asche!
GBrett: Sorry, I do agree that the fan is the one more emotional about it.
MW: Messrs. Merriam and Webster would surely be scandalized to hear there was a woman with an unconventionally-spelled first name that was close to a homophone of the title of their best-known work.
Glad to see Brown got that uppercut out of his swing...
Brown, not letting Ruiz outdo him, also swings at a wild pitch.
Get on base any way possible?
Chooch gets the 3-0 green light? Interesting.
Something is wrong with Utley.
When will we learn what it is? Before or after we learn he needs surgery?
Asche and now Giles two youngsters to watch.
Asche has learned to hit. It's exciting!
Wow. Talk about the BABIP gods...
A BJ encore.
Interesting that someone is trolling my name with a link to an anti-gay and possibly anti-semitic website. I can't really tell because reading stuff like that makes me break out in a rash.
Glad to know I'm irritating someone enough that they feel the need to hijack my name.
Also, I think we need to break up the Phillies. After tonight's performance, they're just too good. In fact, Asche can, and always could, hit. And Giles looks like the closer at some point. Hollands is good. DeFratus seems straightened out. And Diekmann looks like a good LOOGY. Just wondering what he did to earn the setup role.
The ascension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bittel: it would seem whatever is wrong with Utley is clearly mental, not physical
Your AllStar 2B.
BJ is back.
Why is Roaenberg here with the team?
Why is it mental with Utley?
And I don;t feel like Rosenberg's runs should count against the bullpen's recent performance. He's dreck, and doesn't belong here.
I agree with bittel about Rosenberg.
Rosenberg should not be within a mile of a major league pitching mound. His level of suckitude is off the chart.
Rosenberg throws hard--and gets hit even harder
Buchanan has managed to win twice as many games in a month than Hamels has all year. We have a new Ace!
Wish he'd gone more than 5 IP, but I wasn't too upset with Buchanan's performance today. His 5th was disappointing, but he managed to power through it without letting it get out of control.
The ashenstion!
Wow, the Mets absolutely crushed the A's to ensure we stay in last place. Bravos are up on the 'Stros in the 7th by 1, while the Brewers have a run on the Nats in the same.
"Buchanan has managed to win twice as many games in a month than Hamels has all year."
I noticed this. Life isn't fair. Hopefully, the Phillies will start giving Hamels some run support and he can pick up some Ws, too.
The ashenshun!!!

A smartphone's tiny screen relies on the strange properties of liquid crystals. Check out Groupon's study of LCDs to learn how they create the vivid pictures in your pocket.
The term liquid crystal seems a contradiction, but a liquid crystal is actually neither a liquid nor a solid?it's both, stuck in a sort of chemical limbo with its molecules somewhere between the liquid and solid phases. When an electrical current passes through a liquid crystal, its molecular orientation changes, and so does the direction of light that passes through it. By sandwiching these crystals between polarized glass and manipulating the current passing through them, your phone is able to control the light they channel, resulting in the high-contrast images that appear on screen. Although our brains only see each pixel as a single dot, each consists of red, blue, and green subpixels that, when lit at various intensities, can emit more than 16 million colors.
Despite their advanced applications, liquid crystals are not a recent discovery. They were first identified in the late 19th century by a scientist studying cholesterol extracted from carrots?a natural source of liquid crystals, as are human beings and most other living things, which tend to have them in their cell membranes. Liquid crystals and LCDs were the subject of research and patent applications throughout the early 20th century?including one filed by Marconi?s Wireless Telegraph Company in 1936?and finally hit consumer electronics in the early 1970s, when they were introduced in wristwatches.

Fall Events:
5th Annual Denver Chicken Coop Tour - Don't miss this self-guided tour if you want to learn about chickens, coops and urban homesteading right from the backyards and gardens of area urban homesteaders! Saturday, October 4, 2014. Buy tickets now. See button above and to the right. $20 for a single or group up to 4. (above)
60lb honey pails available. This is local, never-heated, unfiltered raw honey from one of our bee farmers north of Denver. It doesn't get any better than this. $240 festival price
Why we DO NOT support the GMO initiative, called the "Right to Know Colorado" law. Obviously Denver Urban Homesteading and its farmers do not support the use of genetically modified food. And we support the concept of labeling. However, this law has no exception for small markets. We will have to follow the same rules as multi-billion dollar supermarket corporations what with labeling, keeping affidavits, etc. AND WE CANNOT DO IT! Anyone who has come into our market knows we operate on a shoestring, and we fear that the shoestring will break if we are forced to hire another person to make sure we comply with this law. Or maybe we should just give up the free Chicken Swaps, Honey Festival, etc. so I can spend my time labeling instead. Additionally, a violation is a criminal offense. That's a lot of risk for a husband-wife team. Those who have followed our travails know that we challenge government over raw milk issues, re-use of egg carton issues, and now (for the last four years) intellectual property issues, and we do it to benefit our customers and to benefit society. But this law will give a vengeful bureaucrat one more tool in his or her arsenal to use against us when our next challenge comes up.
BTW, I have spoken to the owners of several small ethnic markets where we shop who are opposed to this law. Obamacare doesn't kick in until you have 50 employees, and the ADA until you have 15. But this initiative will require labeling by every blessed soul who sells food in this state. Maybe it is time to come up with a labeling law that will not crush the many small markets in this state, otherwise we risk driving markets like ours out of business leaving us to rely even more on giant supermarkets and big agriculture. My Russian wife, who was born and raised in the USSR, told me that even the Communists didn't try to regulate farmers markets. - James Bertini
PS An attorney named Trey Rogers who is a partner in a giant law firm who claims he helped write the initiative attacked my position in the Denver Post. Mr. Rogers says it is really no big deal to find out which foods need labeling, which foods actually have GMOs, to keep track of all of them and then to do the labeling, including labeling of vegetables. So would Mr. Rogers donate a few hours a week to do all this at our small market so we don't have to hire another worker to do it? We think not. Mr. Rogers says that we don't have to worry because we can rely on manufacturers and distributors for GMO information. But the law says retailers are responsible. I think Mr. Rogers is full of organic manure.
Denver Urban Homesteading, in collaboration with Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery, announces a Community Wine Project. 2012 grapevines have arrived and are sale at the market as of April 26, 2012.
April 2010 Group selects approximately 3 varieties of wine grapes for Front Range climate and soil conditions
MAY 2010 and again APRIL/MAY 2011 and again APRIL/MAY 2012 Individuals plant as many/few vines as they can in backyards. Guerrilla planting in alleys and vacant lots encouraged.
SPRING 2011 and 2012 Additional backyard farmers join the project and begin planting vines.
SEP/OCT 2012/2013 The group coordinates harvesting and delivery to Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery three blocks away for conversion into wine.
NOV 2012/2013 Begin enjoying own wine with family and friends. You get back what you put in. We have to pay the winery, but if volunteer-farmers do all the other work there may be few or no other costs.
2012/2013 - Forever Project continues. New wine community is born and lives in perpetuity in Denver.
(If the project is unsuccessful, the participants will at least have new grapes in their yards and will have made new friends during the course of the project.)
UPDATE! We have selected the grape varieties. For WHITE wine we have selected both Prairie Star and Louise Swenson grapes (Svenson not available this year, 2012). We will pair them to make one kind of wine. For RED wine we have selected growing Leon Millot, a red grape. We are ordering them from Double A Vineyards, www.rakgrape.com
You can join the project simply by planting and raising one or more of these grapes. And if you want to be on the mailing list send a note to firstname.lastname@example.com
